Hey, pardon my take listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen, ad-free, on Amazon Music. On today's pardon my take, we have the one and only mayor of Flavortown, it is Guy Fieri. I screwed up and I did the American pronunciation, you gave me a look. We corrected it. Right away. Guy Fieri.

Awesome interview. Those interviews, we just wish we had more time and I think he'll give us more time eventually, but a good 30 minutes with Guy, his energy is off the charts. He also gave us food, brought a bunch of food from his, or had it delivered at 9 a.m., nothing like eating a cheeseburger and wings at 9 a.m. on a Friday morning. We have NBA All-Star Game, which is going on during this show, Dunk Contest, College Basketball, big news with Blake Griffin going to the Nets, a couple segments, great show for everyone.

Today is Monday, March 8th, and you are listening to the number one Brooklyn Nets podcast in the world. I love the Nets, man.

The Nets are, they've always been my team. We're crazy for them. We live right down the street from the other hometown guys. I'm pumped. I'm very excited to have the Nets to root for now, because they are, like going into it, they're the most hilarious team by far, and then they added somebody who's even more hilarious but in a different way. You can't root against a team that's comprised of Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Kevin Durant

and Blake Griffin. It's rare that you get, like obviously, I wanted him to go to the Bulls, but I think the Bulls are probably a year away from being title contenders, but one year. One year away from being title contenders, and I still have actually enjoyed watching this Bulls team, and I have high hopes for them to make the playoffs, but the Nets are very, very far away my second team now, because I'm just rooting for Blake Griffin. I actually don't care really for the rest of the team. It's really just, I'm rooting for the Blake Griffin portion of the Brooklyn Nets and maybe

a little bit of the Joe Harris and a sliver of the Kevin Durant if he comes on this podcast. The Kyrie Irving too, because yes, he's ridiculous and he's a weird guy, but he's entertaining. Him walking around the arena before every game, burning sage, I love that stuff. If you're going to be a team that's like a super team, at least have these big personalities on them. The Warriors were great, but I think their problem was most people liked the Warriors. The only reason that people didn't like them is because they were looked at as being a little bit unfair and taking some of the fun out of the game, knowing who was going to

win going into every season, but they didn't have that actual personality hate thing going on. This team, you either love them or you hate them and now I'm going to hate to love them and love to hate them. Jake, I need you to make us a pie chart. I think we need to do win shares. We need to divvy up who we're actually rooting for on the Brooklyn Nets. I think right off the bat, it's 70% Blake Griffin.

Yeah. 70% Blake Griffin. I'm going even higher than that. I'm going to give 5% to Joe Harris, 4 to Deandre, yeah, I'm going to give, yeah, yeah, 4% to Deandre Jordan. I'm going to give 4 to Kevin Durant. I'm going to give 4 to Steve Nash, 3 to Kevin Durant. Are you writing this down, Jake?

What is he doing? What are you doing? He just dropped his spreadsheet. I'm going to give 2 to Kevin Durant, but that can be bumped up to 10 if he comes on the show. I'm going to give 2 to Steve Nash, but he's got to be dribbling a soccer ball. DJ, what are you? DJ gets 4.

I'll just listen back. No, yeah, okay. We're going way over 100. But I'm going to give 5 to James Harden, fat James Harden, though. It depends on his BMI. Yes. So he can earn, it's like equity, he can earn more of the rootability with like every five pounds.

It's incentives in his contract. Every five pounds he puts on, he gets another percentage. The fatter he is, the more we're into it. But also, I'm going to add more percentage to James Harden if he does some hilariously bad things in the playoffs. Like if he misses his shot and then Blake has to save the team, that would be, anytime he gets to be blamed, I'm in on that. I would say 5% to Katie and then add 1% for each of his burners that we got.

And then 3 to Kyrie and 5 to Mike D'Antonio, because remember that time we sat next to him? He ate a salad. He was drinking a white wine. We didn't talk to him, but we sat next to him. We knew it was him. And also, I saw him once in Brooklyn, I said, what's up coach? And he just nodded.

And I think he was freaked out because like, why would anyone call him coach on the street? Well, they don't have a coach in Brooklyn. It's depending on what day of the week it is. They cycle that around. I'm really hoping that Blake goes there and then he can just immediately play like old Blake again. Yes. Change of scenery will be good for him.

He's going to dunk for the first time since 2019. Mark my words. Oh yeah. Definitely. He's going to dunk in the first game. Can you read that back to us, Jake? Well, I missed the first half. Billy, can you read that back to us?

Do you have it, Billy? What? Billy's looking at Big Butt. I count on Instagram right now. Yes. So we are now rooting for the Brooklyn Nets for Blake. Do we can now I'm going to just offer something up there and we were going to bring it up whenever he comes back on the show, which hopefully will be soon.

Did you guys see the New York Times article where it was podcasters picking their favorite podcast? Blake Griffin picked Dax Shepard. Excuse me? Yeah. Excuse. No, I didn't see that. Yes.

I actually saw it was 79%. Do you know what I did when I saw it on Friday? Someone tweeted at us and I just closed my computer and I was like, nope, not going to look and not going to ruin my Friday. I don't want to think about this. It hurt my feelings so much so profoundly that I just pretended it didn't happen. It's disgusting and I don't have a subscription so I couldn't go back and read it. He's been on the Dax Shepard podcast, right?

I have no idea. Maybe not. Maybe it's one of those things that's just him trying to get on the show. Yeah. Yeah. That could be it. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. That's right. It was probably just a joke. Yeah. It's classic Blake. That's Blake. You know what this is? Yeah.

He's got a new show coming out where you prank the prankers. Yeah. And he was like… Yeah. Okay. You almost had us, Blake. What's the number one rule for Blake of the Year? Like, you can't try too hard.

So if he had said us, that would have been a try hard move. Uh-huh. And everyone would have been like, oh, you're just trying to win Blake of the Year. No. He's going to neg us with Dax. This is classic Blake. You have to know him to get it. Are we going to go to games?

Probably not. I'll go to a game. I've been offered Nets tickets before and I'm like, do I have to? I don't know. Yeah. You know what? I'll go to a game. Fuck it.

Why not? Hank, you want to go? I'll go. No, Billy. That wasn't an invitation. Uh, yeah. We'll go to a game. We'll go to a game.

Oh, you know what I just remembered? I just remembered this. So me and Blake have had this thing where after every single show that he does, every interview that he does with us, we talk about like, hey, have you listened to the new Dax Shepard podcast? Yeah. And then we joke because neither one of us has listened to it. Right.

And we both think it's probably bad. Very funny. And so him saying that, that was like actually a wink and a nod to us. Very funny. I really don't get the joke. That's how funny. Yeah. It's so funny.

Yeah. So it didn't hurt my feelings. That's funny. He's a funny guy. I really did. It was, it was almost like I was, uh, what's his name in succession when the rocket blows up and he's just like, not going to look at this. That's what I do.

That's what I do. No. What's his fucking name? Kindle. Culkin. Culkin. Yeah. What was it?

No, it wasn't going to Culkin. Brian Culkin. No. It's Kieran Culkin. But what's his fucking name? Uh, the guy that jacks off to the Warriors boys. Yeah. Yeah.

The guys. See, that's the problem. How do we not know his name? Roman. Roman. The theme song is so good. Yeah. That you don't really absorb any of the actual names of the characters.

How many guys do you think have gotten laid by just playing the theme song on a piano at a party? Got to be a few. At least. Yeah. At least two. Got to be a few. More than one.

Because I feel like that is the new, Hey, you know what? I know how to play. It's like playing free bird on your guitar. Like you, I know how to, oh, I fucking know how to play session theme song and everyone is looking at you. I'm actually shocked that there hasn't been a rap song that comes out that samples that as a backup track. It would be fire.

Yeah, it should. What? There was. Oh, it was a fire. It was kind of disappointing. Oh, okay. Well, then some, as far as we know, there hasn't been one. So it's open for anyone else to do it, right?

Yeah. Agreed. For, for our years, uh, for our elder years, right? Um, okay. What else we got? College basketball. Hank, did you see the poll I put up? I did not.

Over 30,000 people want coach K fired. Wow. So I put up a poll when they were getting the shit kicked out of them by UNC. I said, should coach K retire after this game or after the ACC tournament? So that's different. That's different. That's not firing. Retiring.

Retire. Retire. I actually agree with the first statement you made, like I would look very hard at firing coach. Yeah, I would fire. But people want him to retire. They want him gone. I don't know if he's earned the right to make that decision about when he retires.

Yeah. See, this is not over. ACC tournament. He, he doesn't even care. That was, he didn't care. No fight. Yeah. It was bad.

It was, they, uh, they laid down and died. Yeah. They did. Yes. They did. Do you think he is, uh, no longer in touch with the youth of America? I mean, he's an older guy. I think he's done a good job bringing in, you know, the Nolan Smith, the younger coaches

to stay in touch with the younger guys instead of trying to be like, you know, how you doing fellow kids. It's a tough year, man. It's a tough year. Seriously, he doesn't communicate with his players anymore. So I guess what I would ask you, dude, is an old man, what exactly does coach K do these days? He inspires.

He gives wisdom of teaching the greatest basketball players in the world, all world. He's what other teams you're right. He does like to teach other teams like he coached USA basketball, all the pros, any player that comes to Duke, he can be like, Hey, all your favorite players. I coached all of them and they all love me because I'm coach K. Yeah. What other coach can say that PFT? I don't know.

I see coach K walking away. I see the Duke board of regents. I'm just going to make that up. That probably exists. They're going to have to see the institution. That's what the institution is going to have to see. It's the Illuminati. Yeah.

Do you think that you think coach K, here's how he can save his job. We all talk about how he takes the D away from players. You're not allowed to wear the D. He needs to paint over the K on the court. He should not have that initial. He should not be allowed to dye his hair. Yeah. That's right. Go gray.

Go gray. I would actually work. Yeah, it probably would because Roy Williams definitely is that possible. If you weren't gray, you would be like, wow. It's a great opportunity. Don't make fun of him. Yeah. It's a great opportunity to teach your kids.

Look at all these gray hairs you've given me this year. I was great until this group of players really screwed me up. Yeah. Also, his best player is on the team anymore. So what do you expect? They were better without him. Are you going to say quit? No, he just, you know, he made a business decision.

Don't use that Q word. He made a business decision. What other big, big news that we have from the weekend, Jake, do you want to give us the rundown? There was chaos. CBS Sports Minute. Sorry about the Vermont. So there was chaos in the mid-major conference tournament world.

Yeah, on Saturday, five number one seeds lost in their conference tournament. Today, another one lost too. Uh-oh. It's all a blur. There's so many. James Madison. James Madison. Yeah.

There's chaos on that end. Bad week for Dukes all around. This time last week, we were talking about how Michigan might be the best team in the country that they lose. Yep. Baylor is now back to full strength. They kicked the crap out of Texas Tech. Illinois number one of my power rankings now.

Illinois is probably the last number one seed. And at the end of this, Gonzaga is still the only undefeated team left. I love, by the way, how, which Jake, you, you stress enunciation, pronunciation about everything. You said earlier today, like the worst thing you can do is mispronounce a player's name on a broadcast. And you've just been around college basketball so long that you hit the strength really well. I love that. Length and strength.

It's the only time that you ever hear pronounced that way. I also saw that, uh, did you see Travis Ford, uh, coach of St. Louis complain about Jim playing time? No, it was, it was very good, petty college basketball shit. So the A 10 tournament was playing in, in, uh, it was half Richmond, half ECU. Yeah. So they played in two different gyms. So, uh, St. Louis had to play St. Bonnie's in the gym that St. Bonnie's had played in

the night before. Okay. St. Bonnie's was the one seed. Yeah. So they probably should like, they also were getting to wear white jerseys and like you didn't. But he, he kept on complaining that that's why they lost. They got more time.

They had, they were, that's a better, yeah. I like that. I, there's something about a college basketball, I mean, I guess it's college football too. We, we always laugh about that, but college, uh, men's basketball and college football coaches scorned. They feel like the world has screwed them over and they get so, so upset and they sound so petty and it's awesome to watch every time. I am enjoying the rivalry that's starting to bubble up, uh, between the big 12 and the

big 10. Not a rivalry. Well, you hear people be like, you know, you know, the big, the big 10s got, uh, they're deeper. They got a lot of boys there. The big 12, the teams at the top are better than the teams at the top of the big 10. Disagree. We'll see.

We'll find out soon enough. Yeah. Because Gonzaga will probably win it all. Yeah. Which I'm, You have to get in first. Shout out to the pack. 12 have to get in first.

Hey, technically right now, as of this podcast recording, there's only five teams who punched their ticket. Yeah. True. Good point. Five autobots. Um, I'm just, you know what? I'm sitting the law down right now.

Gonzaga does not go to the pack 12 actually within the next five years that they're on a fraud countdown. Yup. You're on a fraud countdown. Four teams. Sorry. Starting right now. Would you say five years in an acceptable time limit for this?

Anything longer than that? And you're doing it for your Mickey Mouse. You know what? I'm going to, I'm going to give them so I'm going to actually say they can go to mountain west. Okay. Because the pack 12 is tough for them because of the football. They don't play football.

I don't think Gonzaga. Not well. If they go to mountain west, I'll, I'll start to, to think a little bit more. You know, Utah state, San Diego state seems like, seems like a lot of noisy Colorado state. Nobody at least on LV. At least there are some, there are some good teams there. They have to play some of the big boys.

I think Mark few is scared of McCronen. I'm scared of McCronen. Probably. And yeah, I mean, he's probably actually scared of Dana Altman. He should be, by the way, he's the new January, February, it should be Altman, right? Jake. Yeah, I guess. He's Oregon every year.

They do this. Where it's like, they look bad. It's a 12. Oh, sorry. Yeah. Last tournament. It's fine. That's fine.

That's fine. I don't give a fuck. Wisconsin's. You don't give me the stat. I don't want to hurt your feelings. No, no, no. My feelings don't hurt. Give me the stat though.

So Bo Boroski, who's a big 10 official. I don't complain about officials, by the way. I just listen to stats. Wisconsin is 16 and 11 this year, two and eight with Bo Boroski on the floor, donning the stripes, 14 and three without him. Wow. Wow. That was just, it was painful to watch.

Yeah. We're talking about the Iowa Wisconsin game. It was horrible. I mean, this is a problem. I don't want to be accused of stealing our friend, Rosillo's take, even though it's a take that I think everyone with a brain should have, but he does say it more eloquently. But review in NBA and college basketball has ruined the watchability of basketball games because it just, the last five minutes take forever and they look at every little piece

of the game and did it go off this guy? Did this guy, like they were reviewing, oh man, his shoulder kind of went into his chin. Is that a flagrant? It was unwatchable. They need to dial it back. They need to make very specific rules of what you can and can't review. Like I actually don't mind the, which person deflected this ball out of bounds. The only problem with them using in this game was it was after they had done three reviews

already. And so it's like, oh God, here comes another one. But the stuff where it's like what part of the body made contact with what part of the other guy's body, that's too much for me. Here's what I want. I want there to be a shot clock. I want there to be a shot clock on reviews because not only would it speed it up and make it like, if you can't figure it out within 30 seconds, stop, right?

But we'd also get the beautiful moment, which happens sometimes in college games when, if you can think back far enough when there were fans in the stands and they would, and a good student section would fake someone out on the shot clock, if we could fake out a ref being like five, four, three, two, one, he's got 10 seconds left, would be the greatest moment ever. That'd be great. Or they could go, you know how they always use those TVs that are like the size of the R Kelly TV or the Michael Scott plasma screen on the wall.

If they could go to actually using screens that were like even half that size. If you can't tell what happened on a seven inch TV, you can get as close to it as you want. If you can't tell what happened on the seven inch TV, call in the court stance. Yeah. Yeah. Or it was impossible to watch the end of that game. It was.

It was terrible. Or just have it be, uh, have, you know what, it should be like 10 random fans in the front row and they get a buzzer and they get to decide. Okay. Majority rules. I like that. I like makes it even harder to win on the road. I also like, I feel like Luca Garza is, uh, he, maybe he's eating his way out of Iowa.

He's, he's put on some pounds this year. He's after retiring his number immediately after the game. There's the problem. Pretty cool. Luca Garza. I do not like Luca Garza, uh, but it's a moment where it's like a Spider-Man meme because my hatred for Luca Garza is pretty much everyone else's hatred for every white guy at Wisconsin. Yep.

So I realized I have to simmer it down because I can't be vocal. Be like, fuck that. He's not that good. He's just fucking tall and he's like, oh yeah, he plays fundamental, whatever. Fuck that. I'm just telling on myself. Yeah. So I'm going to let it pass.

He's a great player. He's like, he orders extra mail and everything. Yeah. Frustrating to play defense again. Correct. Yeah. Well, he's not, he doesn't play defense. Also, no, frustrating to play defense against because he's just, he's very sweaty and every

time you try to guard him, you look like that scene in along King Polly where your face just slides down his big wet arm. He's a monster. Yeah. He's a huge, huge person. Also, Wisconsin should only be allowed to have a Davidson or a Bohanon on the floor at any given time. Yeah.

They can't be allowed to have all these guys out there. What do you mean? I'm just saying like they, you should only be allowed, it's kind of like the Duke theory. There should be one guy that you hate on the floor at any given time. No, I always got the Bohanon. Yeah. But I'm saying like, his brother went to Wisconsin. A player like that.

Yes. Yes. Yes. So, wait, I had one other college thing. Fuck. Oh, Illinois was very impressive. That was very impressive. And Oklahoma State won without Kate Cunningham at West Virginia.

So it's the Kate Cunningham theory. Yep. Your best players out, you actually play better. Bryce Harper. Interesting. But he's also different than Jaylen Johnson. He's the number one pick in the draft. I'm very woke about Kate Cunningham.

Yeah. He just, every game that I've watched of his, which admittedly is probably less than 10. I know one of them that you're referring to. But every game that I've watched with him, he does something where I'm like, well, that was laughably hilarious. Well, he did like four of them in the game we watched together. Yeah. Against Texas.

Against Texas. Yes. There was that one. I think that's totally, if you can't make a take on a player based off of one game that you've watched him, I don't want to live on. So that's fair because I think that's when I established my baseline take. And then every other time I've watched him, I've been like, prove me wrong. Right.

And he hasn't proved me wrong. Right. Is Oklahoma State allowed in Jake? Have they decided that yet? As long as the NCAA doesn't make a ruling, the appeal will pen through the tournament. True. That's smart. Okay.

Okay. Because that would be crazy if they wouldn't admit it. The NCAA could do it over the next five days, but that's crazy. And then maybe Gonzaga would steal their bid. If they didn't win the WCC. Yeah. You know, same. BYU can be that bid stealer.

Okay. All I'm saying is I can't believe people are opting to watch an interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle when Oregon is finally at full strength. That's actually strength. Excuse me. That's John Rothstein. John Rothstein tweeted that out. Yeah.

I love him on Twitter. He's the best. He's the best. All right. So speaking of the basketball, we're watching the NBA All Star game right now. They've ruined it with the Elum ending, which Billy, thank you for explaining that to us. Are you not giving the right person credit?

Oh, Elum. Elum should be getting credit. Jason Elum. Nope. You? Yeah. You did it. You didn't explain it.

Billy was like plus 24 entering the fourth quarter. No, Billy was like, it's like playing pick up. You go first to 21 and we play pick up, except in this, it's the numbers different. Yeah. I mean, boom, perfect. Done. So the actual game, I still don't understand why they're doing an All Star game, but the dunk contest happened.

Who won the dunk contest? I have no idea. Simon Simmons, the guy from the Portland. Okay. The guy that jumped really high. That's a made up. That guy. The guy that looked down at the rim as he jammed.

We fixed the, before we did the show. And Frini Simon. Oh, I thought his name, that's why I thought it was made up when he said Simon Simmons. I was like, that's not a real name. Simon Simmons. I was just doubling, I was hedging. Got it. The correct pronunciation.

Got it. Simon Simmons. Simon Simmons sounds like a cad. I was like, that guy doesn't exist. Simon Simmons. Yeah. Yeah. Anthony Simmons.

Penny Simmons. May have looked like Simon. Got it. So we came up with the fix of the dunk contest because they've done all the dunks. They need to just make the dunk contest. It should be themed every single year. So like one year it should be who can dunk from the farthest away. One year, what'd we say?

The highest rim. Highest rim. The heaviest ball. Who heaviest ball who can dunk with the most clothes on the worst shoes wearing. So like someone's dunking in Timberlands. High heels would be great. Roller skates. Yeah.

Who can have, who can be wearing the pair of pants that fits the worst? Do that. Haven't been a theme year. Oh, in a suit. So it's just a comp. If they're all wearing suits, I would watch that. Yes. Naked.

Addressed. Can you, can you do it naked? Mm-hmm. Because that's scary. I probably would not watch that. Imagine you fall. Yeah. Wait.

You fall on your penis. Wait. That would hurt. Way more injured. That would hurt. Imagine falling right on your dick. If you don't think. And it just mush ups.

A little bit of clothes stops all kinds of injuries. You're crazy. I think they should do a rebounding contest. Yeah. And listen to this. Well, I know they do the bunting contest in the Korean All-Star Game for baseball. They should do a rebounding contest where it's like Jokic, but he's got a blindfold on.

And so there's somebody just shooting bricks. It's like, oh, it's Ben Simmons. Have Ben Simmons be like the all-time shooter guy. And then Jokic is just in the paint with a blindfold on, hearing and feeling where the rebound is going to go. Yep. People can get, like, you get 20 rebounds to try. See how many you can get out of 20.

That'd be sick. I'd like that. I'd watch that. So, yeah, Mike Greenberg's dumb rules. We just fixed it. But yeah, they, I really don't understand. Like the All-Star Games, they just don't, baseball is really the only All-Star Game that really actually works because you can't not throw hard.

You know what I mean? Yeah. It's one-on-one. It's just like no one's even playing. I guess it's, if they just had Steph Curry just shooting from half court for three hours, that would be better. I like that. When he was doing the three-point contest, which he won easily, that contest should just

be renamed the RU Steph Curry Contest. Yeah. Okay, you're not. You're Steph Curry. You win. Congratulations. What if it was East versus West again and the winning team got more salary cap room for the next year?

Ooh, that'd be cool. Then people would play hard. That would be very cool. Yeah. Because you can't do the, like, finals home court advantage. Right. It would really work out that well. But if it were like-

They get one extra, like, mid-level exception. Yeah. There you go. One extra guy. Better. Boom. Yeah. What if they made him play handball?

Yeah. All-star teams. Sure. Yeah. Best athletes in the world. Handball players. All right. Let's do who's back.

And then we got Guy Fieri. Very excited about this interview. Nothing happened in football this weekend, right? Oh, Russell Wilson just really wants to be traded. Yeah. That's still kind of like bubbling out there. Yeah. Josh Gordon caught a touchdown pass in the fan control football.

Oh, he did? Hail Mary. Walk off Hail Mary. Yeah. That's pretty cool. Good for him. That's significant. Yeah.

The Russell Wilson thing. It feels like he really wants to get traded, even though he hasn't fully said he wants to get traded. But for someone who hasn't said, trade me, he's done everything else. I saw somebody put the theory out there. I don't have the name in front of me. It was a tweet that I saw a couple days ago. But the theory was, like, what if the Bears sent a shitload of picks to the Texans?

Deshaun Watson, Seattle, Russell Wilson sends, or Seattle sends Russell Wilson to Chicago. Done. Three-way trade. Done. I think everybody's happy with that. Whatever. I don't care. Jack Easterby pretends that he's reloading.

This is the best, like, three weeks of my life that Russell Wilson could potentially be there. Yeah. It's really the best. All right. Let's do who's back of the week. Brought to you by Cash App. The stock market is back.

The Cash App. Hank. I got a couple. First one is Guy Bryson the Shambo. What do you do? Matt. He did a math. He did have an unbelievable drive.

He drove it like 360 yards over. Yeah, but he didn't win. Over the lake. No, he did win. But then what happened? So he must have gotten at least an eagle on that hole, right? I don't know. But all I got to say is that he chipped into the rock and then chipped on the green and

got a birdie like everybody else. Stopped to not smile and be like, wow, that was a cool shot. It was. It was a cool shot. It was an easy time watching it and not smiling it. This is, we're going to get, we're going to do a segment with Trevor, about Trevor Bauer later, but someone did point out to me that liking Trevor Bauer and hating Bryson the Shambo is very contradictory.

So I'm trying to deal with that in my head. I also saw that there was one instance where Bryson, he, he hit his approach shot past the green into the rough and because, because there was a sprinkler head near his foot, he was like, I get relieved from the sprinkler head. And then he got to take his drop essentially on the green as opposed to in the rough because technically he understood that rule. Meanwhile, Lee Westwood has to hit the ball out of a divot that Bryson probably made himself three days earlier on the fairway.

So it doesn't make sense to me. Forget it. I, that was a stupid thought by me. We're Brooks Kepke guys. We're homosexuals. We're not going to do anything else. Okay. I'm either who's back is Tom Wilson being a scumbag.

Oh yes. He took, he took mine except it was the NHL's hatred of Tom Wilson. Got it. I can't remember what year it was that I argued with our colleague Nate and he is an entire argument was Tom Wilson's never been suspended from a regular season game. And then since then it's like, how many games has he been suspended? Well, so I, I went back, I, I looked at the stats of Tom Wilson and this is a new Tom Wilson that we're dealing with right now.

In fact, under the NHL's own laws, they're not considering his passing fractions because he's been squeaky clean the last like year and a half. Got it. So it's been, it's been a couple of years since he's been suspended. Wait, what? Yeah. He hasn't been suspended for this type of play in like since 2018. Well, it carries, it carries over obviously.

Not, no, because it was so long ago. I don't even remember the last time this happened. So how many suspensions? Hank's just upset because, well, no, I think if you, if you're a scumbag and you get suspended for being a scumbag and then two years later you do a scumbag move. Yeah. The shoe fit. It should carry over.

Two years later. Hank, think back to yourself two years ago. You didn't even have a dog. You were a completely different person. You lost the plot here. No, I'm just saying like people change over the course of time. But he hasn't. He's the same guy.

If I still didn't have a dog, then your argument would be correct. He's still doing it. No, he's clumsy. He's just, he's very clumsy. Yeah. He's, he's, it just keeps happening to him. But it hasn't happened for two years, is it? Oh wow.

Okay. Whatever. I do, the other thing I was going to say is that I do like how, I do like the NHL season. I haven't murdered anyone in two years. Where the Bruins play the capitals like every other day. Yeah. It's kind of fun. I do like that aspect of it.

It's like, because there, every time that there's a series. Like who played at night? Oh, the capitals. There's, there's some bad blood that develops over the course of those games. If anything, the NHL should be thanking Tom Wilson for making the game relevant right now because people are talking about it. I also learned that I just have no idea what an illegal hit in hockey is. Because people are playing there.

They were showing the replay of it and people are like, this guy's a huge scumbag. And I was like, I, I'm sure that there's something that's egregious about the hit, but it looks no different to me than hits that I see like 10 times a game. Yeah, no, it's, hockey, Twitter debating hits is always fun. Yeah. Because you could just really argue whatever way you want. Exactly. And speaking of scumbag hits, Peter Yon, all time bad beat, if you had Bet Peter Yon this

weekend, he like need, he need his opponent with 30 seconds left in the fight that he easily won. He didn't need to do it. He just need him in the head. Why? He got dequeued. I don't know. He said, he said, he said his corner, he said he looked over his corner and was like,

should I hit him? And they said, yes. Well, the ref was like, he's down. He's on his knee. And so he just said he was listening to his corner, but he just like, fuck the guy. He did the moral comment. Finish him. Literally.

I'm looking at his timeline right now. The only time he hasn't been suspended was literally just last year. Last year. No suspensions. In a, in a big, in a COVID shortened year, but the year before that it was at like the start of the year. Oh, okay. Okay.

So essentially that's an extra year. It's, it's, I'm scrolling down, it's like 2018, 2016, 2017. If you look at how the NHL judges suspensions, they're not taking into account those hits because, and this is probably my favorite part about Tom Wilson is that the capitals video staff has been cutting up clips of Tom Wilson not hitting people dirty and sending them to the league office the last couple of years being like, look, he's learning. He's not doing what you would think that Tom Wilson would be doing. They made like a highlight clip of him laying off people's heads.

That's smart. And don't get me wrong. If Tom Wilson played on the penguins, I would hate him. I would be probably leading the charge to get him kicked out of the NHL, but he doesn't. And that's just a fact. I, God, I miss fucking fans in the stands so bad. Brent Siebert retired officially on Friday and I was at game seven 2013 when they beat the Red Wings in the second round.

Over time game seven goal. I watched the clip back and I got chills and I like almost got teary eyed being like, remember life with fans in the stand, remember going to a sports game? Yeah. Incredible. You remember bar hopping? You remember like sometimes we used to do this, Billy, you've probably never done this. No, he actually has.

You just turned 21, but what we used to do back in the day, you would go out with your friends to a bar and then you'd be like, oh, my friends are at this other bar. That's like a five minute walk. Then you go to that bar later and then you go to another bar and then someone would say like, Hey, you want to do karaoke and then you'd be like, no, I just did karaoke last week. You go to a different bar and then you go to another bar and then at 2.30 in the morning you'd all go home and you'd be hammered and it would be awesome.

And then you'd wake up in the morning with pictures from all these different bars you were out with other people. It was honestly amazing. He's confused. He doesn't know what this is. That's a lot of you can move around and then you'd have to go back to one of the bars because you left your credit card, one of them and you didn't know which one it got. Closed my tab out.

Were they all crowded? I'm honestly super excited to leave my debit card behind at a bar for the first time in a year and a half. All right. Do you have a who's back or that was it? Well, that was one of mine. So the other one's going to be who's back is the United States, a masculating British royalty because Megan and Prince, what's his name?

Did an interview with Oprah? Charles? No, no. Charles is, I think he's the one that's dying, the one that always looks like he's a corpse. That's the one that I, it was almost a Laker Dan situation. I bashed him in front of troops last week and then he like had emergency surgery on his heart. Well, that's just because this interview, that guy's no chance.

He's actually alive. Yeah. No, he's, he's the Al Davis level. Yeah, it's bad. It's like when Al Davis that last year was like, dude, I think you're actually dead. It's bad. But so basically Oprah was doing an interview of just being like, spill the tea. It was just, it was just a tea party, but another time that we, that's another time

we've emasculated the British, by the way. And so they had Megan talk about all the behind the scenes dirt. They look really bad for the British royalty. And it's just kind of a nice throwback to, you know, the last couple of hundred years where it's, it's so bizarre to me that they even still have a royal family. But if they have, I'm almost to the point where I think that America should just have a king and queen too, because instantly people will care more about our king and queen than the British king and queen.

Well we do. I was going to say, I was going to say, Edo Zaron and Lola Bunny would be a great guy. The old Lola Bunny. They're officially divorced. God damn it. Okay. What were you going to say, Hank? About them?

I just, the Marke in general just is a very confusing concept. There's a, I get it, but I don't get it. What is it? It's Prince Harry. No. Yes. Yeah. Harry and Megan.

Prince Harry. Harry. And then William. He should have, Prince Harry, we could, it could have been a five minute interview and been like, listen, it sucked being a ginger in the, in the royal family. Like people didn't respect me. And the story. So, Prince Harry and you're going bald, you got to get plugs.

Yeah. Well, no, he's not going bald. He's very, his brother. Oh yeah. His brother was very bald. This Harry is going bald. In the back? Yeah.

Oh, they had a nice angle. Especially in the back. They had a nice angle. I don't know. He did the Carlos Boozer like spray to the front of it for this one. Yeah. All right. My who's back is just Joe Lanardi in, in Bracketology and Blind Resumes.

I fucking love it. I've been eating it up. I'm looking at brackets every day, up and down. He still is in his bunker. He actually was like, nothing has changed for him. He was already doing COVID protocols for the last 20 years. Him and Adam Morrison were the two most prepared people going into 2020. It's incredible.

So he's just sitting in his basement, getting ready on his grainy, like half the time it doesn't even come in clear, but he's just in there. That's the charm of it. Breaking it all down. It would look weird if he was in HD and he had all these like touch screens behind him and he turned into Steve Kornacki all of a sudden. Like, I like the old school throwback eight bit Joe Lanardi. There's something comforting about that.

I have a theory though. I think Joe Lanardi is secretly miserable because in 2021, it's the Mel Kuiper theory, right? Mel Kuiper was the king forever because he was the only one who was doing it. Now there's a shitload of people who do draft stuff. Todd McShay's, I'll say it way better than Mella at the job, right? I think Joe Lanardi is just constantly looking over his shoulder. Like there's going to be a kid someday that comes and just nails it every single year.

And if I slip up, if I get, if I put BYU on the nine seed and they end up being a 10, it's curtains for me. Joe Lanardi. Jeff DeLoe and I were thinking about doing Bracketology on the website next year. Exactly. See, then you, if you get it perfect, it will be a story. I mean, no, but I'm serious. Sure.

Yeah. So there's, I think it has to be secretly miserable to be Joe Lanardi because he's got one thing he's been doing it forever. And if some kid who's got like a stronger calculator comes along and figures it out, he's going to be scripted. So is it a conflict of interest for him to be an employee of a college that he's evaluating, but also the head of this like evaluation department? That's also Jeff's one of, one of Jeff's biggest issues is when St. Joseph's is on

the bubble. Yeah. He always, but he always puts them in. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. It's like, it's like a rod, no offense. It's like a rod commentating on ESPN on baseball.

On what? Like it's a conflict of interest because he's the baseball in general, because no, because a rod has business relationships with the Mets, right? No. What team is he? I think you're using it for Jessica Mendoza. Just a bit. Yeah.

That's what I'm saying. But a rod would have stayed at ESPN. I don't know. If he had bought the Mets, I don't think so. No. If he had actually bought the Mets, probably not. Not that I care. I mean, it would have been funny if he tried to and, and commentated his own games.

But all right. So you're going to do it. Jake. Racketology next season. Sure. Okay. Also, Jessica Mendoza left the Mets job, so scratched. Okay.

But she left ESPN. Jessica Mendoza will leave Mets job. She will shift her focus to a broadcasting role for ESPN. Oh, okay. So that was a conflict of interest. Yeah. So. All right.

Billy, you got to. I have two huge backs. Real quick. College baseball is back. Absolute electricity. You know, BC scored nine runs in the bottom of the ninth to come back and win. It was insane. You know, like the two lane pitcher, you know, just all the posturing.

Like Virginia Tech has a home run hammer. It's pretty electric. Shout out to Jared Carabas, who's been covering it. Like it's so electric. The home run hammer. Go off about that. What is the home run hammer? If you hit a home run, you get to take a sledgehammer and slam it while your whole team's around

you hyping you up. That is pretty. That is so high. Electric. That is so high. I got to hold the sledgehammer at senior night. Yeah. That's so high.

Anyway. Also, I also like to sound that the ball makes off the bat in college. Yeah. You see a baseball game, like a major league baseball game, where they just overdub the ping instead of the sound of the wood on the ball. So much better. And anyway, a good old fashioned ass whooping is my other who's back. Tim Elliott during the UFC card was beating up his opponent and he was over him and he

was like, he brought up, he was like, he was like, I heard you beat up a woman in 2008. Well, what you're going to do, like you're going to do the same thing. It was just pretty hype. That is like, that's super. Yeah. So old fashioned ass whooping is back. Yes. And sledgehammers.

Yep. Yep. And ping. Ping. Yeah. Okay. Jake, you got anything? The chills.

Every time March Madness theme song plays on CBS, I just get the chills. It is nice. Yeah. It's the best time of year. It is. I think that it officially starts to when we, when we get Arch Madness. When Arch Madness is played, it, it always feels like, okay, when CBS starts shifting from NFL to college basketball, that's when you know it too.

Yeah. Mid-February, Sunday afternoon. And then we still have Gene Steritor telling us the rules on a Sunday afternoon. He was a big 10 official. Yeah. No, he is. I love that part about it. And also when you first hear the CBS music, you know that the master's music's coming

next. Uh-huh. You know that that's about to happen. You're about to hear Tim Nantz. It's a great time. Hello, friends. It really is. Again, I think we've talked about this, but having March Madness back this year, I'll

never get over last year. Ever. I'll be on my dying bed. I was entrenched in a program that could have been a Cinderella team. So it's snatched away from us. I did, by the way, have my first winning day in probably forever today. So watch out. You're back.

I'm getting hot at the right time. Positive odds. At the right time. Yep. Watch out. Let's go. The war yesterday. I went 11 and 12.

23 games. That's an insane amount. I had an opinion on. It's just, it's just a battle. I mean, never out of it. But some of those you don't really have an opinion on. Oh, I had an opinion on every single one of them. No, I had an opinion.

I feel like this number is a big number. No, I do the same thing every Saturday morning at like 11 o'clock, I just stare at the whole thing and I go down and I'm like, like that, like that, like that, like that. And then I'll go back and I'll make sure I didn't miss any injury stuff. Sometimes I still do. And if I end up with 23 plays, I end up with 23 plays. So how many games are on day one of the NCAA 16 games? Yeah.

Well, there's four on Thursday. It's not that ridiculous because I definitely have opinions on 16 games. No, I bet every single game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I bet every single game. Of course. Every single game. If you have a gambling problem, call Winniehergamber.

All right. Let's get in the Bed Bath & Beyond, bro, and good old fashioned ass kickings. What is that? There's just a fight in Bed Bath & Beyond. Hell yeah. Yeah. That's good. When they try not to accept that 20% coupon that you have that's like seven years old.

I love it. How else are you going to settle that? Bed Bath & Beyond, not a fighting store. Oh, yeah. It is. It is. Billy, you've never been there when they have like that, the KitchenAid mixer and there's just one of them left.

People get real pissed off about that. I also think I think it's kind of like Ikea where Ikea and like Bed Bath & Beyond are miserable couple stores. So like there's already tension. You go in with tension. So if anyone steps to you, it's on right away. Like you're not happy to be in Bed Bath & Beyond on a Saturday. Top three fighting stores.

Well, Walmart's number one. Walmart, yeah. Walmart's definitely up there. Albuks. I would say a Crystal Burger post 1 a.m. It has to be a department store. Okay. Waffle House.

Waffle House. Walmart. Not a department store. Yeah, the Waffle House. Walmart. Who? Who? Loads.

Yeah. Home Depot. No. Home Depot runs a tight ship. They run a tight ship. You can't fight it. You can't fight in Home Depot because it's all Olympic athletes. And then I think like you could just throw like Sam's Club, Costco into one.

Home Depot. There's a lot of camaraderie. Yeah. Yeah. It was like creating stuff. You've got a guy that's next to you telling you about the tools that you're looking at and making suggestions. There's like a gold medalist that's showing you where the fucking, you know, wood nails

are. It's crazy. Everyone wants to help each other at home. Right. I actually would say like a party depot or a party city. Yeah. Probably has a lot of fights. Yeah.

Old school. Now this is dating us Billy. Don't make fun of us, but like toys are us. Yeah. Could get a little hobby lobby. A hobby lobby. A hobby lobby. Maybe right after church.

Tractor supply. Yeah. Yeah. UFC Gloves Store. A fight shop. Yeah. Fight shop. I mean the answer is easy.

GNC. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Although that's kind of like Home Depot. Got brochures helping each other out. Yeah. But then the guy tells you something.

He's like, no, I already read that thread on bodybuilding.com. Bodybuilding.com. Dude, I remember I went into a GNC when I was like, I don't know, probably 19 years old trying to get, trying to get gains. And I walked in and I was like, I'm looking for something that like I can put on muscle and like cut fat and the guy goes to me dead serious. He's like, all right. Yeah.

I'm going to get you these things. They're, they're round and they usually are black and they're in different sizes and you have to lift them repeatedly. And I was like, yeah. And he's like, I'm talking about weights, dude. You got to fucking lift weights. I'm like, God damn it. It's just so sad.

All right. Cool. You fucking own me, man. And then I ended up buying a bunch of creatine. All right. Let's to Guy Fieri. Wait, how'd you pronounce that? Creatine?

No. Fieri. Fieri. Creatine, creatine. There's, there's people in this office who are, it's, it's great like getting to this point of our career where we have 19 year olds in the office and they're, they're discovering creatine. They're like, ooh, creatine.

Like, yeah, dude, you're just going to feel bloated. Yeah. You're going to, you're going to shit through a keyhole. You're going to be able to poop through a screen door and Billy's just, just prescribing it left and right. I'm going to get a little Sasquatch jacked by the end of, okay, do it, do it. You all areas. All right.

Guy Fieri coming up in a second brought to you by our friends at Chevy, the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever, the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever, Silverado strong, most dependable. If you're trying to be a truck person and you're trying to do the tailgating, the hauling, the towing, the off-roading, the moving day, helping out your friend or family member move, road trips, whatever it may be, Chevy Silverado is the truck to do it. I test drove a Chevy Silverado and guess what? My son has a little mini Chevy Silverado Chevy was nice enough to give him one.

He loves it because we're a truck family now. So if you're thinking about becoming a truck person, Chevy Silverado is the best, best truck out there. It is in the league of its own. It's strong, advanced, it's dependable. And guess what? You're going to look cool when you're driving it as well. So think about it, close your eyes.

Not if you're driving right now, but close your eyes and think Chevy Silverado, I look cool. I get to tow some stuff. I get to haul some stuff. I get to go on road trips and I'm going to be comfortable doing it. And that's a Chevy Silverado and we're running our special deal, which has not been approved, but I actually think that every Chevy dealership in America has at least one AWL in it. So if you buy a Chevy Silverado, you get a hundred bucks free for, if you mentioned

code take and a free tanking gas, free tanking gas. It actually worked. We had someone tweet us and they're like, I actually did it and I bought a truck. So Chevy, thank you very much. We love you. You're one of our favorite sponsors and the Chevy Silverado is the greatest truck that's ever been created. Okay.

Here he is. Guy Fieri. Okay. We now welcome on a very, very, very special guest. Long overdue. We've wanted him on the show for a very long time. It is the one and only mayor of Flavortown, Guy Fieri. He's here.

Tournament of champions is, uh, debuting on Sunday night, March, uh, seventh. So sorry. It's March. Yeah. March seventh. Yeah. Check it out on food network. You can also watch it on Hulu guy.

We are so excited for this interview and I actually, we just said it before we started. My first question is, I got into the office at around eight 45 walking behind me with someone with huge bags of food from your restaurant. Now was this specially for us or do you give food to every podcast you go on? Well, considering that you're the only podcast that I'm on today. It's only for you. Perfect. Perfect.

It was something special to see at nine in the morning. Just so you know, I set you like four kitchens worth of food. Yeah. So I know that there's got to be a bunch of folks around there that are hungry and having and being in this food industry my whole life. I know that there's nothing worse to talk about food and not getting to taste the food. So I wanted to make sure that you, you were all taken care of and, uh, and more to come. Um, now this is a great, this, this Flavortown kitchen has been unbeaten.

Unbelievable. You know, our industry has been hit so hard and I know you all highlight food on a regular basis and, uh, and then love Dave and his work of his pizza reviews. Um, I got to tell you, the industry got hit so hard, the industries had to pivot and change. And I think that the, uh, the guests and the consumers are out, you know, the people are out there eating are realizing that delivery and to go are such a great new medium. You can't, you know, there's not enough seats. A lot of restaurants are even open for in-house dining, especially on the East coast.

Um, and it's just not, they're just not going to make enough money on doing it on 25% of, uh, occupancy. So everybody has really switched gears into delivery. So having a bunch of restaurants around the country already and wanting to expand that, we said, listen, let's find some restaurant partners that have big kitchens and have staff that they want to keep employed and keep working and let's set up some guy Fiatty, uh, you know, American kitchen and bars, some, some flavor town and, uh, and make it available across country.

So we're at 150 locations, 25, 30 cities now and, uh, and expanding. So, but, and I hope you guys enjoyed some of my great kids. I loved it. And that's, that's a genius idea. Like taking places already have the infrastructure that need people that have people that might not have enough work at the time and then giving them an opportunity to continue working as a restaurant industry at that time. That's very cool.

And I had, I think this is the first time I've ever had like half of a bacon cheeseburger and a Cubano sandwich for breakfast. Yeah. I had a wing at 9am. For four 10am. Uh-huh. And it was hot. And I was like, how does guy, how does this happen?

As you said, we need to hang out more often. We need to hang out more often. This is, I need to get you in a championship diet here. This is how we do it. I mean, we roll out early with the bacon, mac and cheese, the Cuban sandwich, some big poppers and a few wings, little queso dip. This is, we should, we're probably going to be dangerous if we hang out though. Yeah.

I don't know. I did, almost too much flavor, I think in one room. Do you ever get talk or sick of talking about food? You know, I could throw it right back to you guys and say, do you ever get sick of talking about sports or ever get sick of talking about, you know, crazy things or, you know, no. I mean, it's, it's what's in my blood. It's what I've always done. It's what I love and, and anything, all things and everything that have to do with food.

I mean, I, I read menus, uh, like novels, you know, I, I sit there and I went to, we were just at a Cuban restaurant in Florida the other day and I'm sitting there and I'd, you know, made my decision about what I was going to have. And my wife says, well, what are you, what are you, what are you doing? And I said, well, I just, you know, reading the rest of the menu, she goes, what are you reading? And I'm like, well, I just want to see what, you know, what they're talking about here with these things, these descriptions and why did they put that menu item there and

not here? So, no, this is what I, I, I, you know, it's, it's what I do. It's what I, it's what I enjoy. I read cookbooks for fun. So it's, um, no, never get, never get sick of it. And the great thing is it's kind of just like the world of sports as well. It's never the same thing tomorrow. You know, it's, it's just evolving forever.

You'll never be, you'll never know it all about it as well. That's my, my other favorite thing. It's, it's, uh, it's, it's new every day. You really have to have a passion for considering, I'm sure that everybody that talks to you, they, they just want to talk about food. That's like the first thing that they bring up. So you have to actually be in love with it to be able to continue. Like this, this has been your life for the last, what, like 35, 40 years.

You really have to be like zeroed in on it and really enjoy it to continue to do what you're doing. Well, it's kind of like when someone comes up and talks to you about something. It's nice to talk to people that know something about it. It's when they come in and they go, Oh, I hate that kind of food. And I go, why? Well, cause I hate vegetables. All right.

I don't know that we're going to talk much, you know, just, you're not coming off on a foundation of reality. You know, that makes it a little difficult to engage, but, you know, the world has changed about food, or at least our world has in the United States has changed about food dramatically, especially and unfortunately we've had the pandemic, but you got to find the silver lining out of things. And people really learned more about food. I think in this last year, they've learned to cook better.

I know that for a fact. They've learned to accept different styles of food because they've had to and different cultures of food. And I think when you open up your mind, when you open up your palette to food, I think you open up your mind. I think you open up and say, Oh, let me understand about this type of Eastern European food or this Indian food or this, you know, this culture of food or wow, this, this preparation style, you know, why is this done?

I just think that it's, it's food represents a lot more than just the consumption of calories or consumption of proteins. It's, it's a consumption of the, it's an experience. So, like eating, like eating a bacon, mac and cheese burger in a studio and eat a clock in New York. Yes. So, so the one thing that I love about you guys is that you are you and I mean that in the way that you are authentic to yourself and you make food

fun and you were talking about, you know, correlating to us talking about sports, when we started this podcast, we kind of always said, well, let's have fun with it. You know, it shouldn't be serious. When you started triple D, did you have that as a conscious decision like, Hey, I'm going to be something for the people, for the common people, or was it, I'm just following what I love and eventually it's going to work out. I guys, I wish I could remember that far back when I started triple D.

I, you know, as you guys get older, you'll start to realize you start to lose some of that connection. Um, it evolved. First, what it started as is, and I honestly, like the first year or two years that we did it, I'm like, wow, this will go on a couple of years, you know, and then we'll be done. And then all of a sudden I realized, oh my God, this country is so huge, this world of food is so much bigger than I even imagined.

And this will happen forever. I mean, I'll be doing this thing in a walker, trying to get my son Hunter to figure it out now, you know, put on some weight kid and, uh, you start, you know, dry, you know how to drive a stick shift. You're going to have to take over in a few years. Um, it's what it has become, what it always was for me is here's a great chance to show all these small little restaurant owners, these mom and pops. And I'm a mom, I was a mom and pop restaurant at the time.

Hey, here's a great way to give them a ton of attention, send a bunch of people to them and maybe this can help. Well, I didn't have any idea what the impact would be. I mean, I zeroed, I mean, if I thought it was going to be this big, it was 10 miles long, and so that's been an amazing side of it. And, and now what it is, is to continue that, but also to not have any boundaries. You know, it's kind of like me being on your show today. I mean, how awesome to talk about food on, you know, on this great sports podcast

where, but you guys talk about everything. I mean, you guys have become worldly in that respect. So I think that it's in that same idea. Have fun, be genuine, respect the, you know, respect the, the program, treat people great and don't, and don't establish it and don't take yourself too seriously and don't get too rigid and be flexible on what can happen. You know, I think those are bits of the, that's been the recipe for us. You've definitely brought like a relentless positive energy to food television,

which is something that it was missing. I think, you know, sometimes it gets like a little stuffy, gets a little full of itself, especially in like the food criticism realm. And so I think people naturally gravitated towards that. And my favorite part of any triple D episode is right after you take the bite, figuring out which level Guy Fieri is going to react to. Excuse me, Guy Fieri, because I, there are three levels, right? In my opinion, the first, I love these theories.

I, this to me is like, this is like a drop after a PFT. The first, when you think something's good, not great, you take the bite and you look at the person, you nod, and you're like, that's out of bounds, man, as you're chewing, right? Theory number, the second one is you take a bite and then you just put your hands on the table like you're, uh, like you're LeBron coming out of the game and needing a quick breath. Like you just start breathing as you're thinking about it and you just kind of get lost in your brain, right?

And then the ultimate Guy Fieri, uh, compliment is when you take a bite and then you tell the camera like, I'm going to need a minute to process this. And then you go in for bite too, as the camera is like panning out from you. Would you say that's like, that's a fair assessment of like the three levels of how much you like something? Well, I, I think you've got, I think that your guy impersonations are, are spot on. And matter of fact, if you could cover a couple of shows next Thursday for me, it would really help open my schedule up.

Um, yeah, there, there are differences of exub, uh, of, uh, ex, uh, exclamation and exuberance and contemplation. Um, first and foremost, if I don't like it, you don't see it. Oh, I think, okay. So here's my theory. I think if you don't, the, the, you aren't harsh on people, which I actually love because it's supposed to be fun. But I think your tell is when you say something's the real deal, you're just

literally saying it's real. And that's the, that's the baseline of niceness. So it's probably not great, but it's real. It's actually fit. It's tangible. You are touching it. It's the real deal. That's, that's the, that, okay.

I don't really like this, but I'm going to say something nice to you. I've never been psychoanalyzed on triple. I've never had it broken down like this. Actually really going, um, Hey guys, I'm going to, I'm going to say what I'm going to do is I'm going to start paying better attention to this because don't know what the hell you're talking about. It passed all the time. First thing I just tell people is one, I won't bullshit you.

If I don't like it, I don't, I don't like it. There's a difference of how I'll cast on this podcast. Okay. Actually, no, yeah. You can just, um, I'll tell you, I'll tell you what it is though. Different things affect you at different times. Like sometimes you'll really get in, I've been watching, uh, someone turn that pot down for me, listen, uh, I've been watching, um, 30 on 30, the ESPN.

I've just been watching all of those. I just, I, I just watched the, the Ollie Larry Holmes, uh, fight, the final fight in the 80s. I mean, gosh, I remember that fight. I remember the whole things that I just now I get to a different age where like I'm really interested in all the complexities of what was going on. So I think that there's different times of different food, striking different ways. Also, there's something on top of it about where you are, where you are recently,

where you're in headspace on, on, on. So I can't say that there is a definitive explanation to say this is the thing that I specifically do when I have that feeling. Um, whatever is coming out at the time that I say it is what is really going on. And sometimes when I have to do this, yeah, trying to figure out what the hell I'm gonna say, what word you're going to make up. So do you have a, no, no, no, there's no, and it's not, it's, it, listen, it's the weirdest thing.

I don't have any of these words. I don't say crunchification because I'm trying to be funny. Okay. I don't make this shit. I mean, if they've gone, I have great editors because there are more, there's more smack talk going on than you could ever imagine that if the blooper videos, I don't know if you've ever seen the bloopers that happened at the end of the show, yes, that's for real.

And there's, and that's, that's picking. They'll send me 30 of them and say, okay, which one do you want at the end of the show? Because it's somebody falling over, something getting knocked over, somebody cussing, you know, a dog barking, whatever the lights go out, whatever. So there's always crazy stuff that happens, but no, to get to your whole thing. It's, it's not, it's not, there is one thing that does happen. Sometimes, and they don't show it as often because it takes a lot of time, but

sometimes I'll walk off set. I'll take a bite of something and I'll take off on a walk. Just need some time to be alone. Because I have to get myself away from the food because I'll shove more in my mouth. Okay. But they don't only show you edits of different edits, a weird animal, you know, because it can chop off the, the tail end of the, you know, which might be

the final bite line, but you don't have that much time, you know, because it goes only 22 minutes long with commercials. So, um, but a great question. We're going to get back to Guy in a second. But before we do this interview is being brought to you by whoop, whoop. Billy, when you say I have to take a piss, the mic can pick you up. I know you're not wearing your headphones. I know, I know you're whispering it.

Uh, Billy's piss break is brought to you by whoop. We love whoop. I'm wearing my whoop band right now. It's a health and fitness tracker that quantifies and tracks personalized data like sleep, recovery, strain and more, not to brag, but I had a 93% recovery this morning. So you know what I did? I went to the gym, went to the gym for the first time in like

three months, went into a physical gym, lifted weights, went for a run. I knew I could do it because I was wearing my whoop and told me that my body was prime, it was recovered and it was ready to work out. And each day when you get up, whoop gives you a recovery score based on your sleep, your respiratory rate, your resting heart rate and your heart rate variability. This score will let you know how to approach your day, whether you should push yourself or if you should take it easy. The way it works is you wear the whoop band around your wrist all day and the

band connects with an app on your phone. It automatically measures your heart rate, your calories and your activity levels throughout the day. So you don't ever have to start and stop for workouts. There's also a built-in sleep coach, so it'll tell you how much sleep you should be getting based on your expected activity level for the following day. It also tracks your four sleep cycles. Awake, light, REM and slow wave sleep.

We've been wearing our bands for a couple of months now and it's been awesome to track our sleep and our activity during quarantine. Whether you're looking to sleep better, if you're training for an event or if you're just trying to build healthier habits, whoop can make you smarter. It can help you make smarter lifestyle choices and help you perform at your best. And you've seen them on TV. You've seen NFL athletes wearing, you've seen NBA athletes wearing their products. You've seen golfers wear them.

They use them to track spikes and respiratory rate. That can be an early indication of infection. So if you're trying to stay healthy, monitoring your health, a great way to do that is by wearing a whoop. And right now whoop is offering 15% off when you use promo code TAKE at checkout. Go to whoopwhop.com. Intertake at checkout. Save 15% whoop at check or whoop.com.

Take a check out 15% off. And now here's more Guy Fieri. So while we're on the sayings, what comes first? You actually try something on a flip flop or you get served something in a trash can lid? Because I think you have to do one of the two. Whenever you say something could be good on a flip flop, it's so good. You could eat it on a flip flop. And then when it's so much food serving in a trash can lid, I think

eventually if you do this show for as long as you want to do this show, you have to do one or the other. The people need it. I think that it's probably, and I was just in Florida shooting Triple D and I wore flip flops the entire time. Um, and I'll tell you, um, you guys, are you guys flip flop guys? Not really in the summer. Have you ever tried oofs?

No. Oh, FOS, the bomb flip. I'm going to send you something. Okay. Bomb. Bomb. Got them one after the white. But I wear those because they got great arch support.

And, um, they, and so I'm there. And the joke is every time someone sees me in flip flops, they'll say to me, you know, would you eat that on a flip flop? And I don't know where that came from, guys. If I was saying that the food, I was saying that the food was so great that even on my flip flop, which I've been wearing, it would still be great. That was the whole reason for that stupid line, you know, that crazy line is because it was like, this would even be good on a flip flop.

And you don't know what you're going to say. Like Flavortown, Flavortown never started as Flavortown was a one time I said it. And I said, this looks like it was, I think it was a pizza. And I said, it looks like the manhole cover in Flavortown. Harmless. Yeah. I'm walking through the airport. I got my film crew with me.

We're going to shoot triple D somewhere. And someone goes, the manhole got Flavortown. I'm like, yeah, Flavortown. Then other people said Flavortown. And I said to Chico, who's my number one camera guy, my DP, I said, what's the flavor? And he goes, remember, you said the thing about the pizza, the Flavortown. So then we brought it up again. I said something and some guy had a plate.

And I said, it looks like a bus, the steering wheel of the bus in Flavortown. Oh, jeez, that was it, man. Blue from there. Tubbs in Flavortown. That's where it was born. I'm not kidding you. And it now has taken on too well. Now we have Flavortown Kitchen.

So it's a whole, it's a whole nother world. I mean, it's something that's just so much fun to say. Right. Like if you eat, if you take a bite of something that's really spicy and you're like, that is Flavortown, baby. Like you feel, you feel better after you say it. Yeah. When you see a big pot of something, you're like, that's a hot tub in Flavortown.

That's my favorite. When you do that. But see that, and I'm glad you guys, you get it because you have your own vernacular and your own words and sayings and your double entendres that you guys play. And I'll tell you, it is a way to explain that a big, hot Dutch oven of, you know, Castrolé, and you go like, you know, right there, that's the volcano of Flavortown.

Your mind can go, oh, crazy big over the top. Must be delicious. You know, something Guy Fieri would eat. Oh, that's a triple D, you know, that has its own little place. So it's become its own little descriptive style and attitude, but it's fun. And I, listen, that you guys hit nail on the head. I'm positive. I believe in the better opportunities that we have than the worse.

And I think that, you know, like this pandemic we've been facing, we found the chance to rally as a country and support one another and find the better, you know, there's so many people have done that have lost so much and have been through such terrible times that I'm just happy that someone can hear Flavortown or order Flavortown or we can have this podcast and, and can make somebody smile or make somebody not think about the terrible shit that's going on and, you know, keep it on the upswing because that's what we got to do. For sure.

You got to find, you got to find the silver lining. Yeah, definitely. I actually have, I've got two suggestions for you. You can take them or you can leave them. The first would be, I know you do run into that experience time and again, where you don't exactly know what to say to somebody about their food. If you don't like it, I know you say you don't put it on the air. But what I say, if I'm eating food in front of somebody that made it for me, I

don't want to offend them. I say, there's a lot going on in here. A lot of flavors going on in here. And it's not a lie. It can be totally true. And you can hate the flavors, but if you say like, man, there's a lot going on in here, it's not really an insult, but it's not also lying to their face. You know?

And you've got a great vocabulary and a great style about it. And you're very, you know, that's, that's the right way to treat people. Everybody, they made it and gave it to you because they intended it to make you happy. You know, they didn't go like, Hey, let me see how bad I can screw this up and see if this guy will choke it down. So that is a great way to say it. And there's been several times, more than several, there's been hundreds of times when I've had a chef make me something and it hasn't worked.

And I've just looked right at him and said, chef, this doesn't work. Now I'm a chef. So I have that right to say that. And I do it with the utmost respect if I think they can handle it. They don't, if I don't think they're ready to handle it, that I've got nothing to prove to do this. I'm not going into shame people. I'm not a food critic.

I'm not in that realm. That's not my style. That's not my energy. I don't, but if I do think that I could explain to them, maybe something where they took a misstep or something might have happened, then I'll do that. But there's no reason, shaming people and making people feel about, especially about foods, but that's like having some guy play music on stage and go, you're playing in the wrong key.

Yeah. You know, who would do, I don't know who does that. Yeah. Yeah. The second suggestion that I had, because I've started to deal with, with heartburn over the last, I don't know, six, seven years of my life. And I really suck at getting it under control because I love eating all the foods that give me heartburn.

Why not like combine them and do almost, if you're making chicken wings, do a Tums dry rub on the outside or like sprinkle it on like seasoning. So you combine the Tums with the hot food that you're about to eat. Have you ever tried something like that? You got a lot going on here. Yeah, I do. A lot of big flip, but give it a thought guy. I feel like it's, it's solving a problem before it starts.

Um, I shot a place one time on triple D and they had these ice cream machines and they made all this crazy styles of ice cream. And I told the guy the same thing as like, man, I get heartburn all the time. Especially after all the, you know, indulgent food I eat. I said, let's make some pep, let's make some Pepto-Bismol ice cream. So we made it and got Pepto-Bismol and it actually wasn't bad for anybody that has heartburn. If you could think what would be more soothing than something coating your

stomach, making you, this super ice cold, yeah, didn't sell though. It didn't sell at all. A lot of big flavors going on and there was a lot, a lot of effort, but a good effort, not exactly, not winning the game with this one. Um, I, I don't know how that would actually at all be possible to put uh, any type of, any ant acid on it. And I did some great rollage commercials and I'm a big, uh, I love spicy food. I love, uh, all levels of food and I love wine and I love all the things

that participate in heartburn. And I'll, I'll, I will tell you is typically it has to do with diet. And that's about as all I can tell you is what you, what you, when you eat it. So think about that one. I have to ask this question. You are a die hard sports fan, Raiders, Warriors. What is Mark Davis order at PF Changs? I know Mark.

You know, wonderful guy. Yep. Mark's a wonderful guy. Um, I think Mark would play it. Um, I think Mark would play it right up the middle. I think he would go orange chicken, chicken fried rice, egg roll. They could go right up the middle. I don't, I don't really see him diversifying it.

Now Gruden on the other hand, my brother, uh, he's a food, he's into food. I've, he's been on triple D with me. Um, he's a food guy. He, he, he, he'd go wherever I took him. If I, if I want to take him out of PF Changs and we want to go down the street to some funky little tie joints, um, where there's only two tables and you got to get it and eat it out of a plastic container, out of a styrofoam container in the back of the 68 Camaro, you know, sitting on the,

you know, sitting on the hatchback, uh, he'd go for anything. And, and then, uh, and then round two, if we wanted to go to the next place. So he's, you know, he's a little bit more, uh, he's a little bit more on the wild side of the culinary spectrum. And you and Gruden, I would imagine just sit there, just complimenting the food in the most like hyperbolic way possible. And it's just the most fun of all time because both of you guys have that enthusiasm. Jay, coach to me is, and we talk on a regular basis is one of those guys that

if you want, if you want to find the positive aspect of what's going on in the world and how to look at the upside of the down situation, God, that guy, he's, he wrote the book, man. He wrote the book and it's, uh, I'm so happy. You know, I've been, love the, love the Raiders die hard. The Vegas move was so tough for me as it was for everybody here in Northern California, but having gone to college at UNLV graduated the year. We won the NCAA, um, the running Rebs.

Um, that was the only thing that was going to make me at all. Okay. You know, as we left Oakland and we went there, but we have a better stadium and more opportunities on and on, but, um, no, he is the, uh, he is the, he is the king of bringing the good energy and, and looking at things the right way. And boy, he's had some challenges. You know, you guys know me, but he's, it's great. We're, we're on an upswing.

I mean, we are going in the right direction. We are getting collected and unified. And I think the stadium, I think Vegas is great for us. I mean, you guys didn't ask all this, but I'm, I'm super passionate and super, uh, super excited. I have a restaurant in the stadium, which I could listen. I've been disappointed about not being able to open on time or have an issue or whatever.

God damn, I was so bummed. We were so ready. We tried to train the staff. We were ready to go and we didn't get to open. And it's, it's the sexiest stadium in North America. Allegiant stadium. You, yeah, you know, look at the look in your eye. You've seen, you've driven Pat.

Yeah, bro is right. It is Vegas. Here's what Vegas has always meant. And I thought it was so crazy. People say, no, I can't bring major sports to Vegas because of, you know, people don't know, you know what? It's the best place to go for sports because you've got great accommodations. But no, I mean, I've been, I've been to so many Super Bowls and I've

stayed in some really bad hotels, um, because the city can't handle them. The, the, the load, you know, the, the millions or the thousands and not millions, the thousands of people that come there. And so you're displaced and all this kind of stuff that happens. Vegas is perfect for it because it can handle the hundreds of thousands and people love to come around the stadium. They may not go to the game, but they love to come to the energy of the stadium. So, and you're just so many different aspects.

It's great. And the stadium is beautiful and the Raiders deserve it. Playing in Oakland, you know, playing in that stadium for, for a long time. Um, it, they needed a refresh and this is tough move, but, but, but positive in a lot of ways. So guy, I know you got to go. You're a busy guy. Uh, you have to come back on.

You have to come back on for, I'm down any time. We don't have anything to talk about. We have a million other questions that will leave, but I had one last question. Do you ever get weirded out when you see, uh, people in public who are dressed exactly like you, cause you do have impeccable style and there's a whole group of men that I think just like cosplay as Guy Fieri all the time. Like their life is now your fashion, your style. Is that weird?

You out a little Halloween costumes, I think we're the one when it really, I kind of had to go, hold on a second. Um, it's the greatest form of flattery. You know, I give it the, I give it the Elvis theory. You know, Elvis did it right still to this day. Cause people are still out there, you know, doing the impressions of, of, of the king, um, the only time that it doesn't sit well with me. And this is the saddest thing I can ever tell you.

And it bums me out. Like you don't even know, because listen, if you want to have bleach blonde hair and tattoos and, you know, go for it, you know what? I, this is the kind of how I ended up. So it is what it is, but please don't tell people that you're me and then have them buy you drinks and take your picture. Cause I'm not kidding you guys. I'm, this is no bullshit in the thousands of people sending me pictures.

To my, you know, to my address, I don't know how to find the address and saying it was so great hanging out with you in Las Vegas. And would you sign the picture? And I have to write back to people and say, I'm sorry, this is not me. It's a different guy. And, and I'll send them an autographed picture of me, but they're not in it. And it breaks my heart because why do people like that? Why make people think that?

That's such a shitty thing to do. So I, that just kind of, but that's the only thing that bums me out. Otherwise I run into the, they would, they have Fieri Khan in New York, uh, all the, all the fiat, just wait Fieri Khan, by the way, if we had that COVID, it might have happened this year. Oh, we're in, we're in, we're in show up and I'm going to have the best guy, Fieri non guy, Fieri outfit and people like, man, you really look like him. And they're not going to know it.

We're in, we're in. I love it. Yes. That sounds like the best time ever. Yeah. New York city will be renamed flavor town for a day. Would you do that? Would that be the funniest to go there and they think it's, are you, but I'll

have a bad accent or something. I'm going to make it work. You watch how much I'm going to film it. All right. Well, you guys stop by the show when you do that and we got to talk for like an hour and a half cause we'll do a 24 hour marathon. Yes. Love it.

Thank you so much, guy. We really appreciate it. Guys, thanks for having me. Love it. You guys rock. All right. See ya. Good luck guys.

Zip recruiter, the smartest way to hire. All right, let's wrap up. We got a couple of segments. First up, we got just chill out man for Trevor Bauer. Trevor Bauer told reporters that on Saturday in a spring training game, he pitched an inning using only one eye because he likes to challenge himself. I like it. So it's no different than using a batting donut.

Take a couple of practice cuts at spring training. I love the Trevor Bauer makes people upset. He really makes people upset and even hardcore. Like I know people who are baseball fans that also get it, you know, and when I say get it, meaning baseball has to figure out a way to get younger and more fun and, and, you know, faster and, and you can share their highlights. And they still get pissed off about Trevor Bauer. Yeah, he is easy.

He's an internet troll. Right. He's an internet troll. Come to real life and him doing stuff like this. I don't think a single person out there was like, this is really smart thing that Trevor Bauer did. Trevor Bauer is if Reddit was a human being, he would be Trevor Bauer. And everybody absolutely got so mad about this stunt that he did.

And I personally don't really care one way or the other. So I find it hilarious. And I also don't talk about it. Yeah. People would talk about it. I'm pretty sure that somebody else would have noticed, although it's spring training, the closest cameras are located like 300 yards away. Correct.

And they're in like Ken Rosenthal's motor roller razor. So you can't really see the, the, the clarity of the picture like you would like to, but yeah, I don't believe him that he did it. He maybe threw one pitch. I don't, I, I do not care. Maybe there was a net in his eye for one pitch. Right. If you, like, it's just one of those funny things that it's funny to see and

it's funny to laugh about. And Trevor Bauer just makes people mad. And I like that. He should try doing it on LSD like Doc Ellis did. That would be cool. That means if you want to talk about the most impressive athletic feats of all time, I'd say throwing a no hit on LSD is probably number one and number two.

Yes. But big guy, isn't, isn't, uh, isn't he like the baseball version of Bryson DeChambeau? We've already talked about this, Hank. I don't care. The duality of man also. Okay. I don't have many different.

I can hold three different thoughts in my head. It was losing your Luca Garza logic. Right. Earlier. Yeah. Think that you would also have to support. No, no, because I, I like Brooks and I, I only rep one and a half golfers. Mac, sorry, until you win a major, you're half golf.

So wait, what if Trevor Bauer pulled a Brooks though? Or what if, what if you put a Bryson and he put on like 60 pounds worth? Yeah. I'm just like, you know, water weight and muscle. That would be very funny, right? But the difference between Trevor Bauer and Bryson is Bryson uses stuff like math. Trevor Bauer uses stuff like upvotes. So like he, he, he, he does not approach the game from the same nerd perspective

that Bryson does. And also, I think Trevor Bauer doesn't like complain about the rules the way Bryson does. Bryson is a big, like this is not fair. Oh, like I had a little bit of the sniffles during the masters. I don't know, Hank. Don't get I Trevor Bauer throwing. I'm a hypocrite. Okay.

Him throwing the ball over the center field fence was way cooler than Bryson to Shambo, hitting a golf ball over water. The end of the day, I'm a hypocrite and I do not care. I like who I like. Uh, all right. We also have a PR 101 for the Washington football team. Also, I have a stay woke on it. Go ahead, PFT.

This is your story. So I, I microdose for the very first time in my life on Friday morning. And I'm not going to say that that directly contributed to me seeing this entire web of online lies coming together. But I'm not going to say that didn't help either. So I start to notice that, uh, over the last two days, there were a shitload of accounts that had been created in October of 2020 that were all tweeting things about Dan Snyder, like great job.

Dan Snyder showing the NFL, what it means to be a diverse organization. Great job. Dan Snyder, be the change that you want to see in the world. I see you. Great job to the Washington football team. Dan Snyder gets it. Everybody else at the NFL league office should take notice. And I was like, wait, now it is possible that lots of women unanimously

across the board are independently tweeting good things about Dan Snyder. But I did some digging on it and it'll shock you to find out that they're more than likely hundreds of bots that were all created around the same time to just heap praise on Dan Snyder right when the Jeff Bezos takeover of the Washington football team started to get their very first, like the first bubbleings of it started right to the surface. Right. So so yeah, Dan Snyder, essentially somebody in the Redskins organization

paid for a shitload of Twitter bots to just do nothing all day. But tweet praise for Dan Snyder. Huh. Interesting. So my real stay woke is you found this and I initially thought like so regular brain Dan Snyder did this. He had a bunch of bots tweet nice things about him. Second, what's the second brain when it's like, you know, that meme universe brain universe brain, Jeff Bezos did this to set Dan Snyder up and

then fucking galaxy, galaxy brain PFT has done all of this. I'm right there with rated all these accounts so that Dan Snyder to uncover it, make Dan Snyder look bad. So Jeff Bezos would buy the team also to add on to your galaxy brain. Actually, I guess galaxy brains should come before universe brain. Whatever it may be. No, it comes after universal smaller than the galaxy. Right.

Um, is it a coincidence that this all happened after Burnergate? No, I'm saying like to catch a burner. It turns out you have to think like a micro dosing. So I think that I think that creating the burner and developing that part of my brain last week made me more in tune with the universe when it comes to burn. And maybe one with the burner accounts. No, listen, but it was a brilliant plan by you to set that up. Yeah.

So, um, I do think that's Dan Snyder because I think it's you because here's why. Dan Snyder works harder on ways to seem like a good person than he would have to work to actually be a good person. That's kind of been his M.O. Throughout his entire tenure of ownership. So like, this is this is right out of his playbook. And you knew that to waste a bunch of time trying to cheat. It's like the guy that puts in so much time trying to figure out the answers

on the test, huh, when you could have just spent that 30 minutes studying, huh? And you knew that. Listen, he thinks the Lady Doth protests too much. I'm flattered. I'm flattered that you would think that this would be something that I would do. Right. Mm hmm.

Very flattered. Uh huh. Interesting. All right. We're going to finish up the show. I did have one last segment drunk texts from Billy at one and 30 in the morning saying, I love you guys. I thought it was sweet.

Within two minutes, I replied, no one else is going to say it, Billy. So I will love you too. I just want to say it's no one over. Love you guys. Like drunk, anyone can get a little drunk with their bros and start texting all their other bros being like, I love you guys. You get a little sentimental. And then when I said, when I said that to Billy, when I saw him today,

he's like, dude, my fucking college friends get me so drunk. Like it was their fault. Well, they were like, dude, you've changed. Billy, how blue were the mountains on Friday night? So blue. Yeah. So blue. So blue.

Responsibly. You were responsibly saying I love you too, Billy. I just like to do it sober. It's so we're at the sober sex portion of our relationship. I just I'm I'm different. I love Billy when I'm drunk. No, I I it's Billy. We can fucking have just like baloney breath and still fuck.

No. OK, it's fine. I'm like, it'd be fucking three o'clock in the afternoon on a Saturday, we're both a little bloated. We'll fuck. No, I'm still I'm still leaving. Billy's has to take a dump. We're not we're not we don't we don't fart in front of each other.

Billy, I'm cool. Every Monday, every single Monday, I swear to God, I'm like, I am not going to tell Billy that I love him this weekend. And then Friday night at like 12 30, I always do. I always do. And then all my friends are like, bro, you said you wouldn't. All right, let's watch the end of the game. Here we go.

We're going to get fucked unless we hit this shot. Hank. Oh, we're fucked by the elemending. That's such bullshit. Oh, that's such bullshit. Did they add all the points up? Yep. Oh, we need this three.

Yeah. And so we need what did you get 319? Yes. All right, boom. I was about to I was about to put a curse on Jason Elam's house. I'm OK. Wait, could. Oh, what an ending.

So that I know that's game. But why are they numbers? So did they score all those points in the fourth quarter? Yeah, 170 to 150 in the fourth. But that's what they were doing before. No, that's just one quarter. So they scored. They scored 320 points in the fourth quarter.

Yeah. Well, that's what they call the elemending. Why would they switch it? What do you mean? It's because he was always a good kicker and he would kick at the end of the game. Yeah, because he was the king of three pointers. So they want to make it as scoring is 23. Give me number eight, 30, 18, 99.

This is usually the time to show. Individual mouse sperm are bigger than elephant sperm. Seventy five. Love you guys. Damn. September 7th. Remember, Grandpa Bingo. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, anyway.

Today is another day to find you. Shying away. I've been coming for your love of the king. I've been coming for your love of the king. Come on. Take me. Oh, please.

Oh, please, let's say I'm upset it's but I'm please. So, really, don't play.

Oh, then why does it can't say after me? It's the better to be safe than sorry. It's the better to be safe than sorry. Take me. Take me on.

I'll keep going on. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, Take me down, please it's time though.. just the flame of love is away and all things I've got to remember shine away I'll be coming to you anyway, I'll be coming to you anyway Take on me, take me on I'll be gone in a day

I'll be coming for your love again I'll be gone in a day In a day In a day
