and then I can't play all on the sun. We're gonna rock down to electric avenue. And then we'll take it higher. Oh, we're gonna rock down to electric avenue. Designed by Barstool Sports. Welcome to part of my take. Today is Wednesday, May 24th, and the Boston Celtics are off the floor.

They're off the mat. They have won a game in the Eastern Conference Finals. It is three-one and also just a heads up to all AWLs. Our wonderful producer Henry Lockwood has not slept in two days and he is borderline drunk on the lack of sleep. And we're loving it. Hank, I'll let you go first

because you're on cloud nine. Yeah, I feel good. I feel excited. I was obviously procrastinated my packing. So I was doing all that last night because the movers were coming this morning, was finished at three, but I just couldn't fall asleep. And then I was worried about falling asleep

at like five or six and missing like falling asleep through the alarm and having, you know, people knocking down my door. So I stayed up, having slept. I was really tired. I was really like going through the motions and then the adrenaline of that win. I'm just, I'm buzzing.

I'm absolutely buzzing. Max is jealous. PFT is mad for no reason. Well, I mean, I'm not mad for no reason. PFT has a reason. I've got a reason to be mad. Because you think it's sucker in the planet of the history of gambling.

Like I can't, I can't feel bad for you for making those bets and losing. Like you deserve to lose that bet. No, no, listen, you should not feel bad about me losing. I agree with that a hundred percent. In fact, if I lose this bet, people should relish in not feeling bad for me. PFT bet 12, what was it?

$12,000 to win like a hundred and six. No, no. All right, Hank, math has never been your strong suit. You're not a world renowned educated person. $10,000 to win $1,100. It's an 11% investment. Panthers and heat to win there. Both up 3-0.

Both up 3-0. I'm not, they were at the time at the time. Now they're up 3-1. I'm not worried. In fact, Hank, I'm glad this happened. And I'll tell you why. Because what we're getting right now with Hank is pure 100% uncut delirium from Hank.

We're getting, we're getting Hank at his most cocky. Because he won one game. You're down 3-1 in the series. And now you have hope. Not only hope that your Celtics will win, you have hope that you'll be able to golf. And there's nothing I would like more and the listeners would like more

than to see that hope get absolutely fucking crushed out of your body on Thursday night. He does have hope. I love that you've got hope right now, Hank. Look at his eyes. Look at those eyes. I love those eyes because they're full of hope, wonder, infinite possibilities,

infinite amounts of golf in the month of June. And it's about to be taken away from you on Thursday. I'm so glad that you're happy right now. Deep down. But you know that's not true. Deep down. You're going to have to sweat that fat. You want to have a whisper off?

Deep, Hank, it's fucking true. Your piece of shit. Deep down, Hank, does think. I bet you're playing Boston doesn't mean that you're a fucking winner at everything. The Celtics are significantly better than the heat. They're the more talented team. They, game three was a complete fluke.

But again, water always finds its level. Someone's going to have to win a 3-0 series in NBA eventually. It was exactly reminiscent of the Yankees and Red Sox game three. They lost like 19 to eight, got absolutely blown out. I was at that game. I actually.

Are you just doing a Dave Portnoy recap video? We'll see you there too. Yeah, he's been, he's just been saying this nonstop the last three days. It's true. I was thinking about it. I remember going to that game and we had like our seats were back and we stayed and we were like,

I remember decking that so we had home run and we were standing like behind home plate because everyone left. And it was like the season's over. I had so much promise, so much hope, so much talent. They're blowing it, they're choking it. They came back, they won, they shocked the world. First team to ever do it.

Why not us? It is fitting that this started right in A-Rod's face too. And Jeter. And Jeter. And Jeter, yeah, both of them, court side. Jake almost creamed his dockers when they showed Jeter. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, he did come.

So Hank, in terms of the game, credit to the Celtics because half time it looked like it was going to go the same way. It would look like the heat where, you know, the game started, the Celtics came out to a lead and the heat started playing well. They have like a 10 point lead at one point. It felt like the heat were going to just make the Celtics quit.

And the absolute reverse happened in the third quarter. They killed them in the third. I think they scored 38 points. Tatum got caught fire. And yeah, I mean, listen, back to Boston, game five. Are you saying that that one's a guaranteed win? You got to win game five. Yeah.

OK, so that's a must win. It's yeah. You know, if you lose, you're out, right? The fact that you paused on that, it really shows the Lex. Well, no, I'm just trying to think. I'm only focused on myself. Hank honestly feels like this one win. But that asks you a question about the Celtics.

The way that Hank's acting, you know, is thinking about myself. And it's like, don't think about yourself. Think about the team. You would think that Hank just won the series tonight, the way that he's acting right now. You're down 3-1. Who's up 3-1? It's perfectly, it's perfectly set up for gentlemen sweep.

The real, the true gentlemen sweep, three games. You let the other team win one and then you knock him out. I'm going to do something I don't really do. Sorry, Billy. Billy's rooting for the fucking heat tonight. Well, Billy was rooting for less work. He found out halfway through the first quarter, he's like, wait, if the heat win this game,

we don't have to record late on Thursday. And we're like, yeah. And then he put on a heat shirt and was going nuts. I'm going to do something that I don't often do and I'm going to thank you, PFT. You're welcome. Appreciate you because you were the one that made the golf bet.

And when the Celtics were down 3-0, instead of doom and gloom were down 3-0, there's no way I won this series. I had to will myself to convince, I had to listen back to Monday show. I had to convince myself right Monday show ended and then the wheels started turning. And I was looking at knockoffing for a month

and I had to convince myself that they could win two games. And once I did that, I realized they can win four games. And that's where I'm at right now. I don't think it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the bet because it's like winning four games is a big thing to overcome. And it's like they just need to win two. And if they went to, they're winning four. And everyone in this room knows.

I actually agree with Hank. This is a must win for the heat. Game five, you can't let them win because not only will Hank get off the golf bet, which nobody wants except for Hank and maybe some groundskeepers in the greater Chicago land area that would make a fortune off Hank this summer. But also, I know for a fact that if it's three to

they're going to win four and I'm going to lose my bet. I'm going to go back on the heat. Hank's going to doink me. I think we're going to get doinked again. Hank and I agreed the Celtics are going to be heavily favoring game five. They should take care of business at home on paper. And then in my eyes, game six becomes game seven

because if it's three, three going back to Boston, the Celtics should win the game again. I'm wrong a lot. I've been wrong plenty of times before on the show. Making kids. So logistically, that's where my head. Why are you pointing? You were five and a half. You were what I said, six and a half or six.

I said, seven and a half. It's eight. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. So the Celtics should take care of business. Game. I don't like you pointing at me. In my mind, game six could be game seven. Yeah. So, Jake, does that make game five? Game six. Yeah. So that four must win for the heat.

Well, not necessarily. Game six is the must win, which is game five. Max's. We also have Max, who's very upset that Hank found his mojo. Yeah. Max is a scumbag, though, because he likes to be I'm rooting for you, Hank. I'm rooting for you, Hank. And then like you hear him be like, I was at no point at no point where any of my I'm rooting for you.

Hank's genuine, like zero. Yeah. No, like, like, it's not like I was pretending like I obviously I'm not rooting for the Celtics. Why the fuck would I be rooting for them in the last game? Oh, I did. Yeah, that's true. I love how cocky Hank is right now. This is perfect. I'm just asking questions. That was a good impression of Max that you just did.

Sounded like a dying alien in a movie. No, we're getting we're getting pure unfiltered straight from the source Henry Lockwood right now. It's there's no restrictor plate on his brain. It's the same. You know, it's it goes back to my packing. Like you can do it ahead of time. You can be, you know, proactive and get it done at a normal time.

Or you can wait to the last minute. We have no time left. Celtics. No room for error. Max against the wall. You get it done. Hank is a professional Crastinator. Yes, so we're like, we're not going to win a game until we absolutely have to. Yeah, right now they will.

Which would mean I'm not going to pack a box. Jake, Jake, you know, nine o'clock the night before. Hank, what did you say before the game? You said Missoula went down to Miami and he put two suits in the ceiling. Yes, he left the suit in the ceiling. So we'll come back and pick this up. Game six. Yeah.

Yeah. And he doesn't wear a suit. But Hank, it would have to be seven games. And also he doesn't wear a suit. Nope. We'll come back up. Game six. So he's going to put the suit on game six. Which he doesn't wear a hole. Again, he does not wear a suit. And then wear it again. Game seven.

No, he's going to leave a suit in Miami so that he can have it after they win game six on the way back home. To wear a suit. So he's going to wear a shirt on the sidelines and then a suit on the plane. There might be a number of listeners who are lost in this entire.

Well, this is so really, so are we. But what Hank was getting, he combined two great coach stories, one of which Pat Riley, he left. He said, we're only packing one suit for the strip because we're not going to need to. We're closing it out in one game. And then there was another instance a couple of years ago

where a coach left like a thousand bucks in that was the Celtics. It's like because we're going to come back here and we're going to get a thousand bucks back. But Missoula is taking it to the next level. He's leaving a suit behind in the ceiling and again, does not wear a suit. We should just keep reminding that. Jake, there are reports that Tyler Hero

has been cleared for all basketball, basketball related activities. First of all, I don't know what basketball related activities means. Secondly, is there any chance that he plays in this series? Probably not. That the target was always NBA Finals. Should they get there? So I would say no. Well, you know, how the fuck do you not play in this game? If you're healthy, because he's not cleared to play

in the basketball game, but he's cleared for basketball. That means like fucking play. Well, I don't think he hasn't played in three weeks. And I know you think that you could just like roll out and play in an NBA game. But I think that probably has something really good. I just don't like the attitude. Yeah. So Billy did not care about the series two hours ago. No. And then a 15 minute Zoom postgame

Thursday changed this whole thing. She doesn't have to be there. I thought we were going to live stream it and record really late. Billy was upset that he was going to have to work four days this week. No, no, I just wanted to eat some traffic. Got it. So you want to leave? You still can do that. Memorial Day traffic. You can still do that.

I know. I'm very happy. Yeah. All right, Hank. Well, congratulations. Thank you. It's good to see some fire from you. You. Yeah. I mean, you're you are temporarily back because you were the saddest sack the last few shows. And it's going to be so great when you're down through nothing. I do truly fundamentally. Well, it was when you were down one.

And when you're down three, two, two, three, two, three, two. You just never need to sleep again. This Hank is the best. Also, I think if the Celtics win game five, but the heat win game six, Hank won't be as mad because the golf is that's not true. I care about that part of it. I think that's a big part of it. No, no, no. Well, then why don't we extend the bet?

Make it make it if it's three to two, then you don't go off. And what am I getting in return for that? I don't know. You tell me. That's I'm going to think about that deal, but I'll get back to you on if I think that makes sense. It's not a bad strategy by PFT because you're not thinking straight about anything. But I think I think the straightest when I'm not thinking straight. That's true. Hank, you just you do have to not sleep.

No, I play a draw. I play a draw for some reason. Left comes right when you when you fall asleep at night. That's when the enemy takes over. Yeah. Sleep. You get bad for you get dumb when you sleep. Yeah. You ever think about that? I mean, I've always wondered why I'm dumb in that. I mean, I sleep a lot. I like to sleep.

I love. I do love to sleep. I always wonder why is it all time? Just that's the best because you're basically trapped in your own brain where you're thinking about why you're dumb, but you can't figure out because you're dumb. Yeah, it's because you turn your brain off every night for too long. It takes a lot of reboot again. Yeah, stop sleeping. Hank with no sleep. You haven't even yawned, which means you like broke through the wall.

No, I yeah, that's the adrenaline. Yeah, yeah, you're like Brooks at the Panthers game. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Congratulations, Hank. Series is not I don't. You can't say series is on, but it is on. Oh, it's on. It's on. It's on. Oh, it's on. It's on. Max. Like we've just gotten everything that has happened in this series

because of one quarter of basketball. No, like no, the like the Celtics played well in the third quarter and then the heat were like, all right, we'll go in game five. I mean, the Celtics like the heat. The Celtics had the leads in the fourth quarter before this. Yeah. No, but like we keep everyone, everything that has been said about the series are that is that the heat are a different team. The heat are are resilient.

They are like for talking quarters, Mac Factor fiction, the Celtics won the fourth quarter in games one and two. They'd be up three one. Yes. But that is like the difference between the heat. You can you can play. But that's both sides. Now we got a true battle of the Brains. I'm just going to watch these two. The heat are the heat are going to win the heat are going to win a game.

Spolster needs to bring one suit. Yeah, one suit, one suit, which he also has one polo and pants, one polo and pants. OK, other series, the Los Angeles. Pat Riley needs to go to Boston. Yeah, yeah, we'll be there. One suit. The Los Angeles Lakers got swept. LeBron James first half throwback performance.

Put it late is late at all on the line. 31 points ran out of gas and the Nuggets were just better. They were the better team. They are going to the finals for the first time in franchise history. They went to the finals as an ABA team first sweep in franchise history. 44 playoffs series, first time they swept someone. And Yokic is now he's averaging a triple double and he has eight triple doubles in these playoffs.

I'm very happy for the Nuggets. They're just fucking really good. Is that the all time record two for triple doubles? I think he tied Wilt. Yeah, I mean, every record is Wilt might have passed him. Yeah, but the fact that he did it only playing four games a series is kind of crazy. Yeah. And then it actually was like as far as sweeps goes, that was kind of a fun series.

Yeah, every game was pretty close and fun. The Lakers were not bad. Right. Nuggets are just they're a wagon right now. And I would like to admit that I was wrong. Nugs and six is what I kept saying. I was wrong about not being right enough about the Nuggets. Yeah. So hand up. I didn't realize just how great they were.

I knew they were great. Didn't know they were great, great like that. And Yokic is just he's a story that everyone should be rooting for. He's a guy who drafted in the second round. A case of Reno took his draft moment, was overweight, worked himself into an MVP shape, you know, like playoff, playoff, you know, bad playoffs. The last couple of years, they did go to the West Crown final in the bubble,

which we don't count. But getting through that wall, getting to the NBA finals, the Nuggets look like the best team in the playoffs. They've looked like the best team for long stretches of this season. I'm happy for Hank. Have we made any progress? You're our point man at Taco Bell. Any progress on them bringing back the quesarito?

If Yokic wins in the finals, MVP. I'll circle back. OK. Get it for us. Yeah. Put a pin in that one. Link back with me. I would like to see that. It's a delicious menu item. But yeah, I'm I'm very impressed with Nuggets. I grow more and more fond of them every day. They're fun.

They're so fun to watch. Jamal Murray, by the way, he he might have had a better series than Yokic did. He was he was phenomenal. And he's getting to the point now where he's getting so good in the playoffs that people will forget that he videotaped himself getting his dick sucked. I did forget that. Yeah. I tried very, very hard to forget.

So he's getting to that point, though. That's you have to do a lot in America. But he's doing it. Forget a second. Yeah, he's doing it. He's getting to that point. Yeah. Good for him. Yeah. I'm happy. Happy to see him overcome that. Yeah, Aaron Gordon was like, you know, Orlando or Aaron Gordon.

Like he was he was awesome. He found something shooting threes. KCP played well. KCP is a very good play like Jeff Green still in the league. Yeah, Jeff. KCP is one of those guys like, hey, maybe the Lakers probably should. He won a title with the Lakers. Half title. Yeah, I'm also a real title.

I'm also addicted to Yokic's horse content. Yeah, it's the best watching, watching Yokic do the the chariot behind the horse, which I almost feel worse for the horse when they're dragging Yokic's big ass behind them than when Yokic is riding him. But there's so many awesome pictures of Yokic standing next to a horse. Yeah. And you're like, that's a miniature horse. Oh, no, wait, yeah, Yokic's just an absolute monster. He's just the biggest dude ever.

That's like what he does every offseason. He goes back to Serbia and just hangs out with horses. Yeah. It sounds like a pretty cool. And his brothers. Yeah. Or badass. His brother is throwing Michael Malone up in the air after the game. Awesome. That was amazing. Also, Yokic's getting, I don't know if you saw this moment, but when they were it's always great whenever a team wins on the road

and they get the emptied out arena and it's like it feels like they've conquered like territory where it's like it's just them in there. Yeah. But Yokic was handed a shirt. He started to put it on and he immediately was like, this is like a large and I'm a triple XL and the clip of him, like they're handing the trophy and he's trying to put it over his head and he just bailed on it. He's like, no, no, no, I like we always talk about the silent arena after like a Steph Curry three on the road.

Yes. There was a great moment right after the game was over when the Lakers announced or had to announce that the Nuggets just won the Western Conference finals and it was the saddest thing ever. It was like, congratulations to the Denver Nuggets Western Conference champions. He did the the voice where it's like, please, please stop throwing objects on the court. Yeah. Yeah. Very serious. Oh, Hank, Hank is welcome back up. The Blake's, we forgot about that. Oh, yeah, there you go.

Yeah, we had a meeting at the Blake's tonight down in Miami. Thinking about that when I was talking, we're talking Nuggets Lakers. Good callback, Hank. We saw we saw Brooks. He was he was sitting courtside. Brooks looks tired. He looks like he's ready to go to sleep. Him and Hank handshake and then he was also at the P's game.

Yeah, he was at the P's game game three. Yeah, we'll talk about that a little bit later. And and Blake Griffin was also there. So we had to know, did they say hi to each other? They did. In fact, they did. They tapped each other up before the game started. And since Jenna was there, too, we might have had three blakes. Yeah. In about like two square feet.

Yeah, we need to get the curb your enthusiasm footage. Like someone's got to have that, like a picture or video of it happening. What does that have to do with curb? Curb, their enthusiasm, like solve the murder or something. Oh, OK, yeah. I got it. I thought it's hard to decipher what you're saying, but we get it eventually. Yeah, that's I mean, that's I feel like that was a big everyone knew that.

Well, kind of you're talking about a guy who got acquitted of a murder and in wanting a footage of a dapper. I thought he was talking about the music plan. Yeah, me too. That's exactly what I thought. But no, we get it. We follow you. Yeah, we got we're on the same wavelength. We're one team, one heartbeat. Hank, this will get you excited. Talk about LeBron James getting swept.

That's incredible. Jordan never Jordan. When he got swept, he did in three games. Yeah, it took LeBron four. Yeah, I mean, I'm not I don't have much to say about that. We can't lose for one. And I can't really be danced on this grave. He's old. He's washed up.

So it's it's not it's not the way it was. He's just, you know, he's going to retire. Well, he's not going to retire. That was classic LeBron to basically be like, oh, I got swept. Let me talk about retiring real quick so that the story then becomes LeBron might walk away instead of LeBron got swept. I thought I thought it was a little classless, distasteful for LeBron to tease his retirement on the day of his best friend,

Carmella Anthony's actual retirement, which I have to admit, I thought he retired like a year ago. Well, at least I don't know if you know this, but LeBron knew about that a week he did. Yeah, he did the video when they made the video. Yeah, that was. But yeah, LeBron is 0.0 percent chance. He doesn't play at least another game of basketball in the NBA. Did he miss? Has he missed like a hundred threes in the fourth quarter

as playoffs? It was a hundred. Yes. It was exactly a hundred seventy. That's actually how they decided the series first to miss a hundred threes. Yeah, he's not retired. No, he's not. There's no way he's retired. LeBron, there's a couple of things that make it so he is not retired. One, could you ever in a million years see LeBron James not doing a retirement tour? No, he's going to require a gift from every every team that he visits on the road there.

He's going to ask that they retire his jersey number. Yeah, he's going to pull out all the stops. It's going to be it's going to be a big thing. It's going to be a big thing. Two, Brani is playing at USC. He still wants to play with Brani. He can't retire if he wants to play with Brani. Three, retirement tour, PFT.

Guess where the All-Star game is? The NBA All-Star game is in twenty twenty five LeBron. James is from I forget where we went to college. He is from Cleveland. Akron, he's from Akron. Is it in Cleveland, Ohio? It is not. It's in Los Angeles. Oh, OK. So LeBron James, the twenty twenty five All-Star game. I'm assuming they'll rename a trophy after him.

Something like that. That will be the LeBron Fest. That's what's going to happen. He's going to play two more years. There's no chance he this is ridiculous that he even say. Well, let's also say that LeBron played this game injured. An injury that many people thought nobody could even walk on. So the after you can set your watch if it's Chris Paul or if it's LeBron James losing in the playoffs.

Within about 18 hours, you'll get a story about how injured they were. Now, LeBron was hurt. I mean, he's he's old. He's played a full season. He's probably banged up a little bit, but the story started to come out right afterwards. He's going to take some time off. He's going to tease retirement.

He's going to say, you know, I don't know if I want to go through this rehab process, playing another season, especially grueling. And then he's going to be like, you know what, I'm going to lace it up for another year and then he'll be back. And he look, I I know that we're not the most pro LeBron podcast. When stars do that. What? Just tease retirement and then come back then. Oh, yeah, yeah.

We're not the most pro LeBron podcast. But what he did at the first half last night was special. He's 38 years old. He's not the LeBron like he played, I think, all but four seconds on Monday night. Like it was pretty insane that he was able to throw it back for that. He did run out of gas, but he's 38 years old. The the Lakers like found something very special than Austin Reeves. Rory Hutchmore played great.

All these playoffs. The big question is Anthony Davis. Like you needed Anthony Davis to be the alpha because LeBron is 38 years old and he wasn't that guy on both ends. I also have something funny for you, PFT, that I just I like I was having a debate with our friend Kirk Minahan about top 10 players of all time. This take that I'm brewing for later on some other some other day I'll will do like our worst takes or takes that will get us in the most trouble.

But anyway, I think LeBron's in there. Yeah, no, he is. He is. That wasn't the take. I went and I looked at the top 75 all time, the list they made. The other like whatever it was two years ago when it was 750 anniversary. Where's Anthony Davis on the top 75? He is. He can't be that high up 74.

Yeah. Yeah. Or is it 76? Thanks, PFT. I'm going to say. I'm yeah, turn your mic off, bitch. Seventy one. Fifty three. That's crazy. That's crazy.

So when they put him on that list, that's that's people in a room just thinking to themselves like, imagine Anthony Davis like trying to get deed up by pistol Pete and dunking on his head. Yeah, that's why they put him that high on the list. Imagine how far Anthony Davis would rock one of Bob Cousy's layups. Yeah, exactly. Like this is this is just looking at Anthony Davis, the freak athlete, and then comparing him to old players that were by any objective stretch

much, much greater NBA players than Anthony Davis was. It's just fifty three. And like, yeah, I mean, he had moments in these playoffs. He had some games. He had a 40 point game. He played great defense at times, but like he was not what the Lakers. The Lakers needed him to be special. They needed him to be the guy and he wasn't.

Yeah, he wasn't. Yeah, he was fifty three. He wasn't. He was healthy, though. He was. That was nice to see. What about what about the rest of the supporting cast, Schroeder? You like Schroeder? Yeah, I actually think what the Lakers should do, the key to their season this year was getting rid of Westbrook.

They need to resign Westbrook and then trade him away again. Yes, I would agree. And then vibes just skyrocket. They should maybe try to do the Chris Ball, too. Yes, we also had at the Lakers game. We're already starting the rumor mill because LeBron said he was going to retire, but we also had a player there who LeBron might play with again. So Kyrie Irving was at the Lakers game for and that will start the rumor mill.

I look, I don't want. I'm not a LeBron fan, but I don't want to retire because he's fun. It's fun. And in that and like from a pure basketball standpoint, watching him put in thirty one in the first half and being like, I'm going to like empty the tank trying to will my team to not get swept was special. And it's fun to watch for all the LeBron stands out there and also LeBron haters. So I guess in this threesome I'm thinking about right now, I'd say Shannon Sharp as a lover

and then Nick Wright as a lover and Skip Bayless as a hater. When LeBron James retires, they're still going to do like two years of content about what LeBron would have done on that night if he had been on that. Yes. Oh, yeah. You can't quit LeBron cold turkey. You have to wean yourself off him. He will. They will have tweet alerts on. And if LeBron tweets about any game, that will be the lead story. Yeah, that'll be their take on it.

It was there were some people saying it was disrespectful to the nuggets. How much attention was being paid to the Lakers? Guess what? The Lakers, it's LeBron. It's also like to pay attention. You talk about the losers when the winners go on. That's I've never understood when people get upset about that. You have more time to talk about the nuggets. They're playing in the NBA finals.

They have another series when a team loses and gets swept. Like if the Celtics had gotten swept tonight, we would have talked about the Celtics. That's how it works. You talk about the dead corpse and the team that's living and goes on. You have another day to talk about that. Yeah, like John, John wasn't saluting Jackie Onassis. As she walked down the street, she was saying bye to her dad. I just hate that shit.

I hate when people are like, oh, you don't talk about it. Yeah, the winners get to keep playing. Yeah, we're going to talk about them. The nuggets have two full weeks where and we are we led with the nuggets here. We talked about the nuggets before the Lakers, but the nuggets have two full weeks where they get praised and they deserve it. They're fucking special team. I did also now I'm starting to I'm ditching.

I'm getting into the like saying way too many nice things about LeBron. Uh, he gave a quote that was anti Yanis, which I appreciated because I liked him saying this. I don't think he was like sub tweeting Yanis or anything, but it was interesting seeing it. He said, uh, when asked about it, about the season, he says, I think it was OK. I don't like to say it's a successful year because I don't play for anything besides winning championships at this point in my career. You know, I don't get a kick out of making a conference finals appearance.

I've done it a lot. Yep. Nice brag. Fair. And it's not fun to me to not be able to be part of getting to the finals, but we'll see. We'll see. We'll see. Then he talks about his retirement, but I appreciated that. LeBron was being honest. We was like, I'm not fucking playing basketball at 38 years old to be in a conference finals.

Yeah. No, I think that's he's 100 percent right about that. Like, of course, he's not. He's not going to be going out there and putting his body through all that shit. Right. Just to lose again. Right. He wants to win. I respect that about LeBron. Say what you want about him. He's always wanted to win. He's never he has.

There have been maybe one or two games where he's come up and just laid a complete egg in the playoffs. But three against Dallas was a game four. Yeah, eight points. But but for the most part, like LeBron James, he competes when he's out there and when he's not flopping. But it was I'm going to miss talking about him when he's gone. But he's not gone. He's not gone yet.

He's not everybody out there is getting faked out by the LeBron retirement thing. If LeBron James retires from the NBA, I will also retire from the NBA. OK, I actually let's go one further. If LeBron James retire, if LeBron James doesn't play a single more single more basketball game as a bad sentence, Hank, help me. If he quits. No, no, Hank, go ahead. You got it.

If LeBron James doesn't record a stat in an NBA game ever again. OK, nice. PFT, I think you and I should have to wear LeBron jerseys for an entire month. Make it a year. Fine, it's a year, a year. I wear LeBron jersey for a year. Let's do a month. A month. We'll do a month.

No, then why don't you get a cat, you fucking pussy? What? Yeah, you heard what I said. I put I rest a cat a month, a month. We'll do it for an entire month. I will also know, you know, we'll get cats. Fuck it. I will read the Godfather. I will read the Godfather and I will get a cat. I will not get a cat.

I will wear a LeBron James jersey for. Every NFL Sunday next year. Oh, that's easy. Now that you got to do more, I'm getting a cat. I wear it for all NFL season. Every day, every day. And get cornrows for a month. I will get why cornrows.

Why not? LeBron James, has he ever had cornrows? All right, that's nothing to LeBron. I will go bald. The funniest to you. I will go bald. Was that when you are going bald? Yeah. No, but my hair is growing back. Oh, nice. Congrats. Who's back of the week?

I will. No, I'll wear LeBron James jersey for the entire NBA season for the entire NBA season. There you go. And I'll get a cat. Yep. So he. But I also will not get a cat if he sits out next year. Yeah, because I think he would. He could sit out next year and then play with Brownie. Maybe come back, play for the Wizards.

We also could just say he'll always come back. Yes. Very Sanderson. Yeah, I keep pushing that off. OK, yes. So that's those mistakes. Brownie's mom's hot, by the way. LeBron's wife. Yeah, Brownie. Well, Brownie's mom. Yeah, Savannah is her name.

Can she say her name? She has a name. She's Brownie's mom. That's her more Savannah. That's her most important job. She's Savannah. Yeah, Savannah. Good looking girl. Woman. Woman. With all due respect.

Knocked out the park. What? What do you mean? You guys know that clip? No. Oh my God. It's so funny. What do you mean, why? Mark Jackson. I don't know. I don't know the context, but he literally says, I knock it out the park.

I'll do respect. So about LeBron's wife? Yes. It's I'm going to play it. It's it's I would not knock it out. I would I would hit a sack fly. I have a take to you. You had it ready to go.

All of that talk was that his wife, Savannah, had a sinker ball and a fastball as a high school softball pitcher. I tell you what. And you know what I was thinking? Mike, we've had this running debate. We whether Mark could put into play against an average. I like we they're actually talking about softball.

Yeah. Yeah. Hey, well, I didn't. I've never heard this part of it. We'll cut this. Hey, I've only heard this part. Ready? Because of her sinker. Thompson's for three won't go. Kevin loved the rebound.

I'm shocked you downplay Savannah. He said she was all city. James again from downtown. And I hit out the box. No question with all due respect. So I missed context matters. Context matters. Wait, that just ruined it.

You just been living in a world where Mark Jackson said on national TV, I will fuck LeBron James wife. He would have been killed. I've only heard the Cobra goes, I think you're downplaying Savannah. And I would knock it out the park with all the respect, which without the softball context is the funniest quote of all time. And now I just ruined it for myself and probably other AWS. Probably not here, but I guess that's makes more sense.

Would you hit Savannah? Would you knock her out of the park? You admit it makes sense now? I'd hit a dribbler to the mound. Hank, we've lost him again. OK, I would say, by the way, Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy. I don't know if they like basketball anymore. They complain nonstop.

Yeah. And I know that like sometimes it's it's good because they're saying things that the NBA doesn't want to be said and all that. But like they really don't like there's times where I'm like, do these guys even want to be here? They just get frustrated with the officiating with everything, though, with the load management, with the officiating, with fouls, with with like everything, you get old fast. It's you get old fast watching sports.

Everybody becomes a boomer. Yeah, I just I used to love those guys. And now I'm like, they just they feel angry when I think I love how Mark Jackson always calls Jeff Van Gundy coach. Yeah, that's I do like that part of your life. Coach for life. OK, our nights are one away. Mm hmm.

And our panthers, peas are one away. Up the peas and that's talking hockey. Yeah. OK, let's do a sequel throne. Don't you dare anyone tweet saying you didn't talk about hockey. We did. Yeah, we just talked to nights. Hurricanes. Just talk. We said them. I don't know. I mean, this year I've been watching all the series. They're it's fun to watch play off hockey, but it's hard when it's three nothing.

Yeah. And the panther like the hurricanes put they played a very good game the other night and they just won nothing. Yeah, Bob was. Can't score five or five while Bob. He was like 67 straight saves. So he's been on fire. I think it might have been our friend, Paul Bissnet,

might have been somebody else on that desk when it went to overtime. The other night they said it was stars nights and they said you can't have you can't have a night with no stars. And they were saying the stars were going to win. That's just not true. You can have a night with no stars easily, but you can't have. Well, yeah, if you live in a city with with the air, but you can you can they meant the other thing,

which is you can't have stars with no night. Well, although that's on the sun's a star. Fuck yeah. So what are you? Hank is Hank is Hank has made us all a little bit hot. Yeah, I got contact. It's hot in here. Yeah, it is hot.

It takes a hot stretcher. OK, let's do hot seat cool throne is brought to you by ourselves. Again, the Barstool Sports Store is full of awesome stuff. They'll make your dad feel young and cool.

We recorded FAQs at noon and Hank said to us, he was like, are we doing hot seat cool throne right now? Because I don't have anything. And in the back of my head, I was like, we're going to flash forward 12 hours.

And he'll still have. OK, well, brawn. OK, but do you have anything? Yes, pants. Oh, OK, good. It's getting hot out short season. They're hot. I guess. Yeah. And then I guess I'll say it this way. My cool throne is is me because I'm a mature looking gentleman.

I tweeted and said, I'm wrapping up my 20s a couple of weeks. I'll be 30. So this Celtics Moneyline tonight was the game of my 20s. Put a decade on the line. Borderline overwhelming response to people saying I thought you were already way older than 30. Oh, you're distinguished. Some could look at as an insult. I look at as a compliment because I'm a mature, older gentleman.

That's also internet age. Like people have known you for 11 years now. It's 10 years as well. Yeah. Yeah. And it's but I'm saying like they've known you watched you for like 10 years this week. Yeah. That's a really long time. Yeah. So cool. Throw me. All right. Great. Great job. Is this our 10 year anniversary, me and you?

Yeah. Wow. What's the 10 year anniversary gift? Jake, can you look that up? The traditional one? I mean, I tried. I was hoping I was going to, you know, ride with me. Hank, I've explained this time and time again. It doesn't matter.

I just really like to share it with you. You've talked about it. I fucked up. 10 or aluminum gifts. Oh, get him some of course. Life symbolized strength and longevity. Hank, I actually just got this for you. It's the part of my take.

Coosies are actually I know. So what'd you get me? I got you a 10. He's pulling it out of his pocket. I lost it. OK. Jake, you got one extra one. Not on me.

OK, so good hot seat, cool throne. Thank you. Great job. Hank, I really don't want you to ever sleep again. Like, I don't want to look. You know what this is like? I'm fading. This is like this is like the Dwight Shrewt when he gets concussed episode. Yeah, he's so nice to everyone.

I don't want you to go back to just regular Dwight. I love this Hank. You're fading. Yeah. Did you drive today? No. Oh, I was going to say, you're a falsely behind the wheel. No, thank God. OK. We got an early day tomorrow. We do. You're not going to make it.

Yeah, well. What are you doing tomorrow morning? We got to shoot. Shoot what? A video. We got to shoot. What kind of video is it? At a golf course and Hank, Hank. So I'll just say it. It's got it's going to come out soon. It's it's for a giveaway.

And we're going to shoot it a golf course. No, no, teasers. I literally need to shoot one shot, PFT. And Hank keeps in in planning this. He's like, yeah, we'll play like three or four holes. I'm like, no, no, I need to take one shot. I'm going to take one shot. And then we're getting in the car and going to work.

Yeah, but like, you know, show business, it's like, you've got to take multiple things. See, you do this the whole time. We're just like, we'll do like three or four holes. I'm like, no, no, one shot is all I need. Hank needs to take zero shots. Hank himself needs zero shots. He's going to take shots.

He's going to take a shot at this. You're going to you're going to play a full nine. No, I got to tell you this golf bet. It's it's heavy in importance. Yeah, yeah, more than the self. Yeah. No, I don't give a fuck about golfing. Oh, I would I would go to caddy school. OK, I already thought about it.

PFT. It's not going to happen. My hot seat is the Europa Conference Final in soccer because Nolzi's going. That's right, bitch. Nolzi's got you guys know Nolzi. No. Nolzi is the West Ham fan that at their semifinal match, it was against Azi Alkmar. OK. Their fans are the ultras.

They're like big time hooligans. Yeah. After the game was over, the ultras tried to storm the West Ham friends and family section in the stands. And this one big British unit, this absolute lad, stood on the stairs like it was at the 300 at Thermopylae Bridge, fighting them all off, punching these guys in the face, keeping this.

It's probably like 2430 guys. How do you spell Nolzi? His name is Chris Null, but they call him Nolzi, which is a perfect name for him. OK, K N O L L. This fucking unit was just up there swinging, punching dudes in the face, knocking them all back. The video went viral. West Ham, my team, my club, they reached out to him

and they bought him tickets to go to the final match next month. They're sending him there as like an official fan representative. Oh, no. This dude is awesome. But I'm sure that if you look deep enough into Nolzi's inner history, I'm guessing you might find something bad. I don't know. I don't know. For a fact, but I know how these stories go. Just appreciate Nolzi in the moment. OK.

So I searched Nolzi and I wanted to watch the video. And the first video that popped up was so Nolzi didn't do actually do anything and just got battered. Haters. And it's just a video of, I think, Nolzi getting his ass. That's a bad angle. Look at the other one. It's the best angle because it's the one from above. Look at the other one, though. OK. You'll see Nolzi just defending.

He's defending the wall. Got it. Nolzi is a fucking lad. Is that that one? Bum me out because it was just an older guy getting fucking worked. Yeah. Well, even if he did just get worked, he still put his body on the line and protected everybody else that was in the stands. Yeah. Shout out, Nolzi. OK. Shout out, Nolzi.

You're an absolute lad. OK. And then my cool throne is Thursday Night Football Ratings because the NFL announced that they are flexing weeks 12 through 18 Thursday Night Football 13 through 17. I read 12 through 18. Jake's right, probably. I don't think there's a Thursday game on the week 18. All right, whatever, Jake.

Sorry, it was mine, too. Dude, Nolzi's kidding. 13 through 17. Watch the other one. You haven't watched the Good Angle. I'm seeing a picture, too. He's a bad guy. No, but watch the other angle. Yeah, yeah, because he fought 40 guys. OK, all right.

I'm trying to find the other one. I'm going to wait. I'm going to wait to. I'm trying to find the other angle and find the good video. I don't know where the other angle is that shows Nolzi like protecting everything. Just search Nolzi on Twitter. It looks like the the fake news has gotten a hold of the Nolzi story.

No, no, Nolzi. Oh, yeah. All right. So I'm seeing the other angle, which is kind of the bad angle. But yeah, he did a good job. Nolzi beat the fuck out of it. It's hard. It's hard to erase what I saw first. Nolzi's a lad.

So weeks 13 through 17 are now eligible to be flexed on Thursday Night Football. They're going to give teams a minimum of 28 days notice before the decision is made. That feels like a lot of guessing to be like, oh, one month from now, this game will be better than the game that we have in its place. So the ones that are eligible to be flexed, Dallas at Seattle,

Pittsburgh at New England, San Francisco at Seattle, the Rams at the Saints and the Browns at the Jets. So at least one of those will be flexed. My favorite argument when this this came up was the football writers are like, won't anyone think about the fans that are planning their schedule to go to away games? It's like, yeah, OK, I there's probably a couple hundred that we're going to go to a late, late season Thursday night game away.

But how many millions of people are going to watch a game on TV and we might get better football? Yes. So that's that's what I do feel bad. You probably want to put. Also, they're telling you right now, don't plan to go to that game. So my idea for announcing NFL schedules in a perfect world just for TV purposes, if there were no fans in the stands, would be Sunday night after the afternoon slate before the night game starts

on football night in America. At that point, they announced what selection show with the games next week are going to be. And then if you lose, guess what? You have something to watch that show for because there's nothing worse. If you lose on Sunday, you avoid the highlight shows like it like it's to play. Yeah. But if you watch that for the selection, for the the schedule unveiling for the next week, I love it. Oh, my God, that would be so awesome.

I predict right now. Ram Saints, that's going to be flexed. What is it? Seahawks Cowboys. See Dallas at Seattle. I could see the Cowboys sucking this year. I hope so. Doesn't that feel like they do that? Yeah, Hank can't have it all. Yeah. Steelers at New England, they're going to keep that one.

Forty Niners at the Seahawks. I could also see the Seahawks sucking this year. Yeah. And then the Browns at the Jets. They're going to want to put Rodgers on prime time. OK, my hot seat, similar football is the dogs trying to make a roster because they change the kickoff rule again. Fair catches, which college football already has.

I'm fine with it. I don't care. Yeah. The only bummer is that we're not going to see any returns at all. Yeah. I mean, we'll see some still, because if you kick it to like the 10, they might return it. They've been gradually phasing that out of the game. Yeah, yeah, which is it does suck a little bit, but I also it already happens in college football. So I'm always like of the belief that if it's if it's a rule

that happens in college football, they make the NFL. I'm OK with it because my brain was already split halfway down where it's like, you know, you watch a college football game and there was the first couple of years where it happened and like, why are they fair catching it? Yeah. My brain is adjusted. You know what? And they fair catch a kickoff. I will know what's going on. We're always going to have the quarter

rail Patterson return with the Skycam. Yeah, that's really when kickoffs. That was the last great kickoff that we got to see. Yeah, they're just going to end up pooch kicking it to 20. They're going to cover and they're just going to fair catch every time. Yeah. Mm hmm. But what if they missed the pooch kick? Exactly. And then they get to return it.

It could be squib kicks. The return of the squib. There's an art in that. OK, and then my cool drone is Carmel Anthony. We alluded to it, but he retired legendary career. Oh, Jake. Thank you, Mello. Thank you, Mello. Three time gold medal winner.

Yeah, American hero. People were talking, maybe retire his number for the Nuggets. He does wear the same number as Jokic. Someone had the good idea on Twitter that they just make 15. The best Nuggets player. Yeah, it's like number 10 in soccer. Right, exactly. I do think he might get retired.

I I wouldn't be shocked if the Knicks retired his number. They might because what? Hank, go like the second round once. But he was the best Knicks memories in the past 30 years. He picked the Knicks, though, over because the member after the LeBron, Bosch, Wade, Summer and everything. Well, Mello wanted to be with the Knicks.

He wanted to be with the Knicks. He picked the Knicks. That was the I'm coming home. We talked to him about that video. I think there's like there weren't a lot of people picking the Knicks. You know what? USA basketball should retire his number. How about that? I maybe they won't.

I just know that Knicks fans do love Mello. He picked them. Yeah, you should retire numbers for for winners. Not like nice guys that you're like, OK, sir, he's retired. He won a championship. He won a championship. But yeah, Mello was he. I actually think that they like Jeremy Lin, too, his numbers are retired.

Yeah, I know Jeremy Lin was like really good for a month. Chris stops. What about him? They loved Chris stops. Yeah, but he didn't end it very poorly when the playoffs did. Yeah. And it very we're doing second round or whatever. I'm I'm not actually, you know what? Hanks, right?

It would be weird if the Knicks retired his number. I'm I'm not basing it on what he did. I'm saying because he picked him and no one's picked the Knicks. Yeah, I pick me trophies. Yeah. OK, OK. But I wouldn't be shocked. Maybe I'm way off. Knicks fans love Mello.

I would be shocked either. I'm just saying it's soft. OK. Now what happens next year? If let's say the Lakers making a little postseason postseason noise done down the stretch, they need another body. Let me see. There's an injury. Get on the phone, get Mello there. Knicks. Mello is going to be bodying people at Lifetime Fitness.

That's what I'm looking forward to. He should still treat. He should play as much basketball. He should play more basketball, except just casually at the gym, pick up ball. OK, I'm just going off of a treat from NBA Central. Should the Knicks retire Carmelo Anthony's number? Most people are saying. No. OK, so there you go.

No, I will change my take. No, no. Yeah, I agree with that. I just think they have a special place in their heart because he did pick him when no one picked. What did we're on USA Basketball? I don't know. Probably I think he might have won seven.

Carmelo Anthony, USA Basketball, number seven. They should retire it. Also, 15, 15. OK, Carmelo Anthony also goes. Retires is maybe the coolest thing you could say about someone. He was a walking bucket. That's what everyone will say. And I also saw a video today that made me very sad

and feel very old. It was some guy on Instagram talking to an AAU team and they were asking him who Mello is. And they all were just saying the Mello ball. Yeah. And that hurt. That is sad. Yeah, they should know better. Yeah. That's bad parenting. Yeah, stay mellow. OK, Billy.

My hot seas Italians turns out there was recently a crisis meeting in Italy because the price of pasta has been too high. So they had a pasta meeting. I don't like the sound of a crisis meeting in Italy. I would like to see this pasta meeting. I know, I just think it's hilarious. I got a bunch of guys standing around like the pasta is you got a pasta problem. Yeah, they have a pasta riot, pasta rebellion.

Well, Hank, why are you eating yourself? Worry about yourself. I just looked over and you were gnawing on your on the inside of your finger. I have a little blister from golf. I was just getting rid of the skin. Fuck off. Too much golf. OK. I thought you were trying to bite off your tattoo. You I saved a mean comment during the kickoff thing, because I wasn't trying to be contentious.

But like if the NFL didn't have kickoffs, like your best Chicago player of the last 40 years was a kicker turn. I I agree. I'm not saying I. But they found out the kickoffs are pretty dangerous. I want football to last forever. All right. So I didn't say anything. We're good. I feel like we're on the other side of the Delirious Mountain.

When you call me out like I'm just existing. Oh, I looked over and you're going like this. It's weird. It's weird. You know, you know, you know, your hands are your hands are soft. You know, I'm not soft. You've got billions. Billions. Billions are our houses.

Oh, we don't want you to do this again. Yeah, like I don't understand why people. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, that went to the. All right. Good. Good hot seat. Yeah, go ahead. Cool. Cool throne. Jets. Alan Lazard had to leave OTAs and Aaron Rodgers.

They both thought they were hurt. Turns out Alan Lazard just got hit in the nuts and Aaron Rodgers, I think, was trying to take some time off to chill. Got it. OK. That's cool. So I thought he had a calf injury. Yeah, we were supposed to worry and then we're not worried. Yeah, we were supposed to worry. Now we're not worried. Yeah, tender little calf, though.

Yeah, because everyone thought Luzard got seriously injured, but they didn't say that he came back to practice. But they're like he got carried off. It turns out he just got hit in the nuts. Got it. That's pretty cool. Got it. OK. Go ahead. Hot seat. OK.

My hot seat. My hot seats, birds. OK. There was there was a bird sitting in the infield of the Guardian's White Sox game and it got hit and died. And there was some pitcher was warming up in the outfield, drilled a bird with a curveball, killed the bird, too, two days ago. Yeah, so not great. Horses of the sky. Horses of the sky.

Carson Wincher to play baseball. Yeah, I'm sticking with the animal theme by Cool Throne Squirrels. Squirrel Squirrel was running along the wall of Yankee Stadium. Yeah, rally squirrel. And it fell off. Yeah, it fell off. Now, the fans. It's so funny. It's a bad look for New York sports fans. They were terrified of the squirrel tire's number.

Yeah, I like to say. Jeffrey Marl would have snatched that squirrel up in his glove and crushed it to death. Look at this. Oh, yeah, they were scared, terrified, bad podcasting. But it's the fans. Their jaws are on the floor and as a squirrel, slow motion running on the wall on the short porch and he fell. Down he goes.

OK, good, good, Cool Throne. Before we do Jimmy Tatro, wait, Hank, Hank has another point to make. I'm sorry. Fun fact. No, this is actually just a fun, fun little stat. The Celtics had a team outing at Topgolf after their afternoon film session. Maybe all their whacking golf balls up relieved their stress. OK, that's just a fun fact. That is it is a fact. Yeah.

That's fun fact. I mean, Topgolf is fun. Do you have any last words, Hank? Because we're going to say goodbye to this version of Hank. I assume you're going to sleep at some point. I'm going to miss this guy. Yep. So maybe say goodbye to the to the AWLs. We don't know when we'll see Delirious Hank. You I won't sleep on Sunday night.

I'll be ready to go Monday. Oh, you're not going to sleep now on Sunday on purpose. Yeah, smart for what if there's no game? There will be a game. There will be. You just guaranteed a game seven. You guaranteed it right when this game ended. He's like, we'll see him on the night.

Game seven is guaranteed Henry Lockwood right now. Yeah, fuck it. PFT is going to be shitting himself. I will. PFT knows the second I saw that tweet. I will shit myself. If if the Celtics win. OK, yeah, that's fair. I do. I do. This is a bet that will make me no friends.

It'll just make me hopefully 10 percent richer. It's called math, Hank. It's called compounding interest. It's called investing in your future. Never mind. Don't lay it off. You already went after Devin Hester. Go ahead. Come on. Do it.

No, no, I was I was thinking sort of pick PFT apart. You can't. Yeah, I'm unpickable. You can't bite me like I'm your hand. OK, well, yeah, no, it's nothing. OK, thanks. He's reached. He's thanks empty right now. You could bite him.

Hank won't bite me. Do you deserve to lose? That's all I'm saying. OK, all right. Let's kick it to ourselves. Jimmy Taitro and Daniel Ricardo, both in person or no. Jimmy Taitro and Zoom, Daniel Ricardo in person and then FAQs, great FAQs after that. We're going to get to our good friend,

Jimmy Taitro in a second. Before we do, it's brought to you by the league. Let's talk about the newest league that you guys need to join. No, it's not an NBA bracket. It's not fancy football. It's a dating app called the league designed for busy career oriented people to find their other half.

Jimmy, let's start with that. What is life like now that you are a Hollywood star? Everything has changed. I think the hardest thing about being a Hollywood star has been just completely replacing my friend group with more star power. And I'm not really that good of friends with all these new friends, but...

But they're better friends. Yeah, they're cooler friends. So it's been necessary to just cut all of the friends and family closest to me, but that's just part of the biz. That's part of the Hollywood biz. Yeah, it just happens. So you are on with us because the machine is coming out this weekend.

You play a young Burt Kreischer, our friend Burt Kreischer. So let's talk about the movie first. When you signed up for this. So you're playing Burt Kreischer who's in the movie. It's his life. It's his story. Did he sit you down and he was like, this is how cool you have to act?

Like, you need to look like this. You need to do this because it's my life. To be honest, no. He didn't even do that even a little bit. Like, I think I would have liked him to do that a little bit. But he just fully trusted, I guess, every part of the process. So no, he didn't actually tell me anything that I should be doing or like mannerisms or anything.

But it was a little weird being on set with a guy that you're playing while he's there. Because you're just like, I'm trying to act like you. Like, I had a little thing in my lower lip to make my lips look more like his. And he was like, what's that thing? I'm like, this is to look like you. And he was just like, uh-huh.

Yeah, did you have to put on weight for the role? No, I actually did ask the director that. I was like, so I'm not going to get big for this. Just so you know. And he's like, no, that's fine. It's a, you know, you're like a college version of birds. So I don't think you need to. You don't need to actually put on any weight.

Yeah. Because I was unwilling to do that. Oh, really? So wait. I mean, is this going forward? Because you are a big Hollywood actor. You won't do even the other way, like Christian Bale and the machinist.

Like, you're not going to do that? Well, I'm not, I'm not not down to do it. I'm not down to do it when I'm playing Bert Kreischer. OK, fair. You know, if it was, if it was a role where it was like, this guy is, you know, you got to get big for it. I would, I would, I would probably do it. But to play young Bert in the machine, it was,

it didn't feel like the right, the right one. Yeah. I mean, to go method acting for Bert would actually be pretty easy. You just get, you get hammered all the time and go on every podcast in America. Yeah. Yeah.

So I'm kind of, I kind of did go method then, in that sense, because, you know, we were just out there in Serbia, just drinking the whole time. Bert is like, definitely, it was a blast to do the movie with Bert. And he's definitely what your parents would call a bad influence. But in a great way, it seems like, because he always seems like he's having the best time ever.

He is. He really created like such a fun environment on set that was just so, no one was stressed out. Because it's, you know, he kind of is in a position where he sets the tone. Like if you're the lead of the movie, it's kind of your job to set the tone. And he's just so friendly and personable

and like just funny that it just created a really, just a really fun environment on set. And he just was like on set, like, so what are we doing after this? What's the move? Yeah, I like that. What was it like in Serbia? How are the Serbian people?

Serbia was interesting, you know? The people were nice. It was like a very interesting place. I love going to places. Like one of the cool things about this job is like you go to places that you probably would never otherwise go. And so I got to spend like two months in Serbia just

being immersed in the Serbian culture, seeing buzz ads of Nikola Jokic everywhere you go. It was fun. Is that why you don't like it that much? Is because it reminds you too much of Jokic? Ah, no. You knew we were going to get here. That's the entire reason I asked the question about Serbia.

You knew we were going to get here. You started to us to get almost 10 minutes into the interview without talking about how washed your king looks. The franchise, really. Yeah. So this is coming out tomorrow? Either Wednesday or Friday. So it'll be over.

So no, so by the time this comes out, the Lakers, there will be three in one. LeBron had a great game last night or the night before. I forget which one. AD really came through. And we needed that. I mean, be honest. You thought that this year was special.

You thought that after you beat the Warriors, it's like this team and they looked really good. Ever since the trade deadline, they looked really good. And now they're just flaming out in spectacular fashion. The NBA is trying to rig the games for the Lakers and they're not good enough to win. Where are you at with the future? Because, again, LeBron's looking old.

Yeah. You know, it's been a tough three games. It's been frustrating because it felt like every game, we had so many opportunities to win it. And we just kept blowing it over and over again. I still think there's a chance right now. Maybe that's wishful thinking. But I think if anyone's going to do it, it's this squad.

See, here's the thing. All season, every game I've been to and watched, I've been like, if we just played defense, we'd be good. First half, neither team played defense during the regular season. We'd be winning. Second half comes around. We continue to not play defense.

The other team plays defense. We lose. So it seemed this all season, we have a pretty straightforward solution. And I just don't know what's been going on these last three games. I thought we were on a good roll. And then, yeah, it's tough.

It's tough. It is starting to feel like the nuggets are looking a little too good. Yeah. Now, would you, if you do end up getting swept, or even say it's 4-1, would that be so bad that you then put LeBron below Kobe in your all-time Lakers? Because I know right now you have LeBron above Kobe.

So how would that shake out? Yeah, so no, I think if LeBron pulls this off, he'll make his way into my top Lakers category. But for now, I mean, I still don't put him above. Paul Gasol. Oh, wow. That's spicy. Now, could you consider this season

to be a moral victory, though? Say it again. Is this season a moral victory? I mean, you got all the way to the Western Conference Finals. Nobody thought that was going to happen. Like, good job, Lakers. I think it is. I think, I mean, I don't think it's a bad result if we,

even if we don't make our miraculous comeback and win this Nugget Series in 7, I don't think it's a bad result. I still think it's impressive. But that's loser talk. This is great coming from a Lakers talk. Yeah, that's loser talk. It's not a failure. This season, not a failure.

This is the once proud Los Angeles Lakers. Hey, we got swept in the Western Conference Finals. It steps to success. It steps to success. To what? Winning a title in LeBron's 45? No, that was just me quoting Giannis. It would be great, though, if the Lakers hung a banner that

said Western Conference Finals. Ooh. Won a game. Maybe. I, look, I respect the shit out of LeBron. It just won the, it just the complaining about the foul calls that I have a hard time with. You know, maybe if there was a little press of that,

I would be more willing to include him in that my top Lakers category. But yeah, it just makes it a real tough. Yeah, Austin Reeves is definitely in there, though. That guy is the best. Austin Reeves, I swear to God, if we fucking trade Austin Reeves, I'm going to be so pissed off. We need a guy like Austin Reeves.

Yeah, he's, he is, he is a glue guy. Are you at the point in your A-list celebrity life that you get free courtside tickets to the Lakers? Like, have you been, I assume you've been shown on the Jumbo Tron, right? Is that the official made it in LA moment? I actually have not been shown on Jumbo Tron. But it's funny you ask, I did actually

have to turn down courtside tickets to the game tonight, which I'm pretty, pretty devastating, to be honest. But I'm just simply not in LA. And it was, it wasn't going to work. But that was Burt, Burt invited me to come with him. And I, and I had to say no, and I, I'm still, I'm kind of, I'm just thinking about it, to be honest. If you lose, it's your fault then.

Yeah, you could have been there. You could have made a difference. That's true. Well, that's the thing about courtside seats is you actually can kind of make a difference. Like my friend has, my friend has the tickets that are like right in front of the basket where they shoot free throws.

And like, in that seat, you can, you can have a big impact on the game. If you stand up and scream some shit when they're shooting free throws, like, they'll hear you 100%. So it is a lot of pressure, but no one on the court is like that into it at Lakers games. I feel like they're just, they're just, you know,

people just are trying to look so cool on the floor. I thought that a fan could really create a lot of chaos if they just brought a whistle into an NBA game. If you're sitting courtside and you have a whistle, you can actually, you can stop the other team from winning. If it's coming down and there's like 30 seconds left, they're trying to get their last shot off. You blow the whistle.

Yeah, you get kicked out, but that's a defensive stop. But you'd have to, you'd get one, you'd get to blow that whistle one time before you get booted. So you'd have to really be strategic about, about when you blow. Yeah, like a fast break. Our game seven, it's a home game. There's two minutes left.

You got, you got to bring that whistle out. You got to be waiting for just the right time and you can actually win a championship for your team. Wow, this is, this is true. But do you think that if you blew a whistle, you'd get banned for life or you'd just. Probably. Yeah.

But you get a championship. Like this is, this is a sacrifice that you would make. Or it could totally backfire and like they could call a technical foul on the fans because that can happen. I'm pretty sure they can do that, which would be nice. I think like, you know, you've seen times when like fans have gotten unruly and the coach has to come out and like they'll give like a warning.

It happens in college basketball where they'll give like a warning to the student section. I, maybe they would be like, yeah, that fan. Maybe what you do is you wear the other, other teams colors and then you blow the whistle and then you just mask confusion. False flag. Yeah. Yeah.

You get, you could actually win two technical foul shots for your own team. Yeah. Something I've wanted to do for years and maybe now that I say this, someone will, someone will steal the idea, but there's two seats right next to the Lakers bench where you're literally like, it's like Lakers, Lakers, Lakers, bam.

I want to get that seat. I want to buy that seat and I want to figure out what uniform they're wearing that day. And I want to get the warmups, the jersey, and just be on the floor, just pretending I'm part of the team, joining the huddles, you know, just trying to get my hand in there for a break, do you think so?

I love that idea. I've actually had that idea of not for basketball, but for college football, if you just put on a pair of khakis and a team-issued polo, there's like 200 people on the sideline. You could easily just run out there and just be like, yeah, he's one of the, you know, grad assistants. Like no one knows who he is.

It would work. I think that would 100% work for football because there's just so many guys. There's no way the coach knows all those names. Yeah. Exactly. Just hanging out. And you just say, if they ask, you just say,

I'm the transfer. That always worked. Yeah, exactly. I'm the new, oh, you're the new guy? Oh, cool. Yeah, look at these plays that got drawn up. Since we've last had, well, we've had you on many times, but the first time we had you on,

it was like right before everything's kind of taken off for you, like it is a dumb question, but I'm just curious, like the last five years of your life, has it been like, holy shit, I can't believe all the things I wanted are now happening, home economics, you've been in a couple big time movies, like it's happening. It's all happening in front of our eyes. I definitely feel like grateful for where I'm at,

but I think, you know, it's weird, like from my perspective, it just seems like I've just been kind of slowly cruising and making progress and making progress. It hasn't seemed like there's been like a significant like, you know, jump at any point. It just seems like, I don't know, like I've just been grinding and working hard and like it's cool to see big things start to happen,

but from my perspective, it's just been like a slow and steady grind. Yeah, have you had people, and this sucks to ask, but like fans of your YouTube back in the day being like, oh dude, you sold out. Oh yeah, well, first it was you guys. Yeah, well, you did. Yeah, I totally did, but no, it's honestly pretty cool.

Like a lot of my fans from my YouTube will come up to me on the street and just be like, hey man, I'm really proud of you. And like, thanks dude. I had a good company the other day, it was like, dude, I've been watching you since I was six. And I was like, I mean, yeah, like how old are you?

It's like, I'm 19. And I was like, wow, yeah, I guess the knot works, but that doesn't really make me feel bad today. You know what, when you were six. Yeah, his brain has been molded by you. Yeah, I'm like, where are you depending? He's like, I've been watching since I was six and just wearing a flat brim hat.

I'm like, bro, you shit my child, little dog. That's awesome. We actually had, we had Andrews Holm on the show and he was talking to us about his kind of behind the scenes where he was being offered the home economics job if you turned it down. And then he said he DM'd you and was like, the way he put it was very funny.

He was like trying to talk you out of it but not talk you out of it. Cause I think he wanted that gig. And I think he said like, Jimmy, you will, this, this, I don't want to say that this spot is beneath you but you have unlimited potential and it wouldn't be the worst thing if you, if you turn this down, let me have this one.

And then you go off and be a big star. He was actually like so cool about it. And he was literally the worst person. I called him for advice. I was trying to figure out if I should do the show or not. And I knew that he had done like a network show. And he's also like a guy that makes his own stuff. So I called him to be like,

hey, I just wanted to like get your opinion on your experience doing a network TV show. And he was like, dude, before this goes any further, I got to just be honest with you. I've been told that if you turned this down, they're going to offer it to me and I would love to do it. With that being said,

and then he just like had an honest conversation about, you know, how he felt about the whole thing. But it was just really funny, like the one dude that I called for advice on like, should I do this or not? Was like, if you don't do it, I'm going to do it. And I want to do it. So did you think like,

was there a little bit of guilt when you said, I'm going to do it? There was a little bit because I was like, I could feel that he really wanted to do it. And I'm over here like, so, yeah, I hit him up. I was like, I was like, hey, man, just let me know. I did, I did decide to do it.

And he was like, dude, that's great. Super happy for you. That's so funny. Hey, is Real Pro's the CME Valley? Are we getting another season? I do have some news. I can't, I can't, it's unofficial right now, but there is, I will have some official update

in the next like, couple months. Something is, something is coming. It's so crazy because when we first interviewed you, we were in LA and Hank, our producer was like, I think you guys got to interview Jimmy Tatra. We, we admitted it. We didn't really know you. You didn't know us.

And then since that moment, like Real Bro's the CME Valley is like, maybe my favorite show. And so I, and I know you've, you're going for the cycle. I think you're trying to get it on the fifth different streaming platform. So, but I, yeah, I want, I need another season. Like it is such a fun, it's one of those shows

that you watch and you're like, how is this not the most popular show? Because it's that funny. I know. Believe me, there's been a lot of frustration with the, what's it called? The people that are in the position to make more happen. And we finally found a way to make more.

I think that's as much as I can say, it's been a, it's been a journey, but we do have, because we just had like such a great idea for how to bring the thing to a close. And there was just like so much left to do. And I'm very, I'm very excited. And I will, you guys will be the first to know when I'm allowed to actually say what it is.

I like that. And Hawk will be like what, like 85 years old in this last season. It'll be great. He will be very old. Yes. And he is definitely older than Xander at this point. Yeah, he's, I don't want to give too much away,

but Hawk's story is a big part of where we're going with it. Hell yes. I can't wait. That's going to be awesome. What's next for you? Have you reached a point where you're getting like superhero, like Marvel movie calls? Are you going to be a big action star next?

I'm still waiting on my superhero role. I just want, I think I just wanted excuse to get in really good shape. And realistically, if I don't book like an action or superhero role, I'm not going to really, I'm not going to be that disciplined. I'll exhibit some discipline, but I'm not going to go all the way.

Unless I like really need to. So I'm just waiting on my call, you know, to be a, to be in some type of superhero universe. That's all I, that's all I want. Okay. So would you rather be in like Thor nine or would you rather be in Fast and Furious 14? Whoa. Whoa. Honestly, just because I feel like Chris Hemsworth

is such a perfect or that anyone who comes after him is just going to get endlessly shit on. I'd go fast 14. I think you'd be good in Fast and Furious. They could get you in good shape for that too. And I think in Fast and Furious, you get more, you get more of these moments. Yeah, that was good.

Where you, where you purge dramatically and the camera slides in and you say some, some, some shit. Like, daddy's got to go to work. You know, I think you just nailed the audition. I just want my dramatic curd moments, you know, where you just turn over your shoulder and just say some corny shit.

Yeah. That'll be good. Were you, are you willing to get on the gear for one of these roles? Cause that kind of is the secret of Hollywood. You just get on the shitload of steroids. Oh, I don't know, man. I don't know.

That's a bad answer, Jimmy. I mean, the guys are, execs are watching, you know, the execs of all these major, you know, production companies, they all are AWLs. They're like, Oh, so Jimmy Taitra won't get fat. He won't do steroids. This guy won't do anything. Okay.

All right. I'll do it. Okay. Good. Good. Maybe, maybe share some with us. Yeah, I'll do it. And I'll let you guys, I'll slip some under the table. We'll all just be on our, on our 10th podcast together,

just all looking fucking massive. Yeah. We'll have the Instagram like ads and be like 10 tricks that Jimmy Taitra used to be in Fast and Furious 14. And it's like all these ridiculous workouts. And really the, it's, well, yeah, he got on steroids. Yeah.

It's like nine of them are things that have nothing to do with actually getting jacked. Just like every like all these routine podcasts guys that are like steps to success, wake up, cold plunge, fucking journal affirmation, do 5,000 pushups. And I'm like, at which point are you making money? You're not doing anything. You haven't said one thing that it brings in any kind

of income. They're just like right down my goals. Talk to my wife. That's what it'll be. It'll be just affirmations, journaling, cold plunge, cold brew, steroids. And then five other things that don't matter. Yeah.

The best is Mark Wahlberg's secret for getting in shape. Well, besides like waking up at 2 30 in the morning every day or whatever. When he plays golf, he sprints from shot to shot. So yeah, he plays speed golf like he'll hit a shot and then he'll run up to his next shot and then hit that one. He might be lying.

The more I'm thinking about this might just be a big lie, but and he also has somebody else drive his clubs around for him. So he's not even carrying his own bag. He's just out there hitting shots and running up to his next one. I think I'm going to suck to play with him. Yeah.

Yeah. That'll be bad. Well, it'll be fast. Yeah. There he goes. Yeah. Golf is like meant to be a game that you get away and like relax.

And he's just, how fast can I do this? Breaking. He's like steps to getting in shape. Sprint on the walls. Wear municipal clothing. That's pretty much it. And gloves are working out. Yeah.

All right. Well, Jimmy, this has been awesome. I have one last question. Roback question. R-H-O-B-A-C-K dot com. Use code TAKE for 20% off your first purchase. Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, everything. Roback.com.

Use promo code TAKE. Okay. The machine out this weekend. What is like, are you going to go see it? Do you see movies that you're in? Do you watch the movie you're in? Yeah. I watch them.

A lot of people, a lot of actors don't. Like a lot of people are uncomfortable with going and seeing their, their thing. I think it's helpful. Like I see a lot of, like when I go and watch stuff, I learn a lot about myself and my own performance. And I also just enjoy seeing it with a, with a group of people and kind of feeling that reaction.

But like you can, you know, when you watch a movie or you're in theater with people, you can kind of like, you know, you can see things in your performance where you go, I'm not going to, not going to do that again. Or that worked. Almost like watching game film. Yeah.

Yeah. That's got to be a weird, like out of body experience. So like, will you actually go to a movie theater? That would be crazy. That's honestly, it's when you're at like a premiere and you're expecting to see it. That's, you know, it's, it's more like, oh, this is just, this is what we're doing here.

It's when you're like in a movie and then you see a trailer for your movie beforehand and you're there to see something else. And all of a sudden your face is on the screen, you know, like, I got on a plane one time and someone was watching 22 Jump Street, like two seats in front of me, like right there.

And it was the scene where I'm like running into a, into a field goal post. And I was so tempted to just tap them and be like, Nailed that one. This is the one. Watch, if you're watching a movie, you're watching a guy and then you sit cap on his shoulder and you turn it and it's that guy.

It's like, You do behind the scenes DVD commentary for the entire time that he's watching it. What movie, what movie that you've been in has been the best movie to watch and what movie has been the worst? Well, movie has been the worst. Um,

the movie that's been the best was, honestly, this, this movie was, well, 22 Jump Street is probably my favorite movie that I've been in that, that, like to watch. Like I would recommend watching 22 Jump Street objectively. This movie, I was like very pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Like I knew it was going to be funny.

It was really funny on paper, but it's so big. It's like a really big, fun action comedy that they just, like I want to see more movies like this. So it's a, I'm excited for everyone to see it. I'm excited for you guys to see it. I think, I think you'll really enjoy it. It's like, I said to Bert,

it's better than I thought it was going to be. That's so mean. That's like when people say, see me in public and they're like, oh, you're not as bad as I thought you were. No, you're actually, you're, you're just bad jacked. Yeah. Yeah. I do have a pose that I can like pop some muscles. It's just when I do it, like I need to sit down

and take a breather for like 10 minutes after, but I got it. I have it. I can flex it. The director of this movie is named Peter Atencio. He like really took, the script was great. Like the way they turned the story into a movie. The writer, Kevin Beagle, did a really good job of that.

But what Peter was able to do, like he just really elevated the whole thing to like a level that wasn't really, it didn't feel this big on the page. And then you see it, you know, like, oh, fuck, he made this like a, it feels like a she, like a massive, like a superhero movie almost. I like it.

I'm excited to watch it. And I do want to say like, I can tell by our conversation that you actually think the Lakers are going to come back. I'm going to tell you right now they are not. So let me be the first to just let you down as easy as possible. It's over.

You might win a game. It's over. I don't know, you know, I just, I don't know. Yeah. There's no way to know for sure. All we know right now at the point this has come out is that the Lakers have begun their comeback. It's currently one in three.

And we don't know what's going to happen after this, you know, but things are looking good based on that last game. I really liked it. This is going to be great. A nice sweep. You know, the Nuggets have never had a sweep in the history of their franchise.

So at least you're part of history. They've never been in the history of their franchise. They've never swept a team in the history of their franchise. Wow. So history. Have they ever been in the conference finals? They have, yeah.

They brought that up because it was in the bubble, which we also agreed didn't happen. Yeah. So you remember hold it. That's another thing that we've always disagreed on. Aren't these the same four teams that were in the bubble? Yes. Yeah.

So this one counts. The bubble didn't. But so have you come off of your stance on the bubble not counting? No, no, no, no. Because if when the Nuggets win the series, it just proves that this is the team that would have won in the bubble

if there had been fans in the bubble. Yeah. You okay? Yeah. And then in the Eastern Conference, you know, we can flip it. The Eastern Conference just further proves the heat were the better team,

even though the bubble didn't count. Yep. Yep. Yep. You see what we did. Yeah. So if that works for you guys, you know, you roll with it, but like I said,

you know, right now I said it's one, three, and you know, we'll see what happens in game six. I can't wait for this sweep to happen. And you just, oh man, we're gonna flip this. And then you just gonna put that clip. Yep. Yeah. It's gonna be, look what a great actor Jimmy Tetra was.

He was, he convinced himself to believe it. Or, or, or is Jimmy Tetra losing his mind and just not accepting reality? Yeah. We have multiple ways to spin this. We're gonna have a whole, we'll have a whole section of clips. That just, you know, choose your own adventure.

Jimmy, Jimmy Tetra has lost reality. All right, man. Well, thank you as always. We love having you on. We love that you're part of this show. And hopefully we see you soon. Yeah. I'd love to see you guys soon.

All right, man. We'll let you know next time we're in California. Hell yeah. We gotta see. Oh, oh no. We'll see you when the Real Bros. news comes out. Yeah. And we want a cameo.

You guys, you guys can have your cameo. I actually have you guys in another script that I wrote. So we'll, we'll talk more about that. I'll be in New York in July. So I'll do a strip. Well, we're moving to Chicago. So then you'll come see us in Chicago. You just take a flight from New York to Chicago.

You're moving to Chicago? Yeah, we're open a big warehouse that you'll have to come and show us your skills because we have a whole basketball court. Oh, perfect. Love it. Yes. Yes.

Maybe we'll do like a bubble championship there. Well, we all know who's gonna win. Yeah. Mark Titus, who is gonna be moving to Chicago as well and played at Ohio State. So that would be perfect. We'll see. All right, we want the cameos though.

I want to be in real bros. Even if I'm just like a dude at the skate park and you just like have to freeze it and be like, wait, was that PFT and Big Cat? That would make my world. Okay, it's doable. It's doable. Okay, love it.

Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest, recurring guest, third time on is Daniel Ricardo. We're here in Miami, F1. First of all, great to meet you in person. We interviewed your teammates. They were saying that you've been lifting a lot and your arms look jacked. Can I see real quick?

Yeah. You look pretty jacked. You look pretty good. Oh, yeah, I look jacked. So you just do the, you only do the biceps? Yeah. Yeah, just every morning before breakfast. Just, just pump out 10 curls.

Yeah, so the big question, I know this has nothing to do with racing, but you went to the Met Gala and we still don't know what happens at the Met Gala. Can you tell us what happens in the Met Gala? Cause like every year we see all these famous people dress up, then they go into this building and we don't hear anything else. So can you tell us what happens in the Met Gala?

Yeah, it's like this pretty dark basement down there. Oh. It's, well firstly, good to see is in the flesh. Yes. This is, this is real. It's cool. Yes. Um, he's a beautiful as well in person.

Thank you. Appreciate that. Appreciate that. Yeah. You didn't say anything about our arms. Yeah. Oh, that's, he's a huge. PFT, I think he dodged the Met Gala question

cause something happens in that fucking place. I got you big cat. All right. So it's, um, no, it's kind of cool because well, I think that's why it's kind of nice is there's no like meteor in there. You're not allowed to take photos and stuff. And mostly like you're not bringing a plus one.

So you kind of forced to like mingle and just talk to people that, especially in my world, like there's not many people in there that I know I've come across before. So I really enjoyed like kind of just making new friends, so to speak. So that was fun. So what happens?

Everyone's kind of standing cocktails and you go in, sit down at your table. People are still kind of standing, moving around. It's not very formal. Like it feels formal, but it's not. And that's kind of nice. Like everyone's kind of just there, like move and table to table, seeing friends, people they know.

It's just like a big kind of conversation. Then I'm trying to make this fast. Then like they'll have a performer go on. So Lizzo went on. She was awesome. Okay. Love to have you. People are dancing?

Yep. People are dancing? Yeah, they're kind of like they're at the table. Like wedding dancing. Yeah. Okay. So it's a big wedding for rich, famous people. That's pretty cool.

I saw Anne Hathaway came over, introduced herself. She's a massive fan of yours. That's pretty cool. Who's the coolest person that you met there? Well, that moment was pretty, it was pretty funny because well, it was cool for sure and funny because I was like looking at her waiting cause she was up next to like kind of do the photo thing.

And then I was, I was like, I guess I go up next. So she was there and then she kind of looked. She's like, oh, Danny Riccardo. And I was like, oh, Anne Hathaway. Yeah. I was like, I was probably, I would have loved to see my face. It was probably just like this.

Yeah. But yeah, I was, I was kind of, I think for me, especially going there first time, I'm like, yeah, no one's going to know who I am. Right. And then like for her to kind of call me out. I was like, oh, this is really unexpected. So she was, she was sweet.

So has it been weird like having drive to survive the success of the show? Like, have you noticed that people recognize you so much more in America now? And like you're a celebrity in America? Cause I'd imagine before the show, you were a lot more anonymous when you came to the States, right?

Yeah, like very anonymous. And now it's, yeah, that's, yeah, pretty much. And it's funny. I find New York is actually a place I'd probably get recognized most like around the world. And maybe it's cause it's fairly international. I don't know. But yeah, New York is, is a place where I get noticed a lot.

And yeah, even there, like at the, at the gala. Yeah. Like there was like people who, even if they didn't know me, they're like, oh yeah, like I know who you are. I kind of think I was like, thanks. You know my name. Yeah. Did anybody ask you to do a Shuey? That's actually a great question.

Great question. So I did know because I feel like I did. Oh, I was, I saw Trevor Noah and I was actually, he was really nice to me. He was like, show me the ropes. So we hung out quite a bit that night. And I did a Shuey with him on his show the last time I was there.

So that's why I knew there was like some Shuey relation. Shout out, Trevor. Shout out, Trevor. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's been cool to see F1 grow here in the United States. And I saw, I saw an interview that you did last week where you said that you've, you've been humbled recently. Whereas I think you said before you were a selfish driver

or whatever, don't you have to be selfish to be a driver? Is that, isn't that kind of like a trademark of like you, if you're not selfish when you're trying to be the fastest person on the track, then what are you doing out there? Right? Yes. True. Not wrong. I think it's, and it's kind of not to take, I mean, there's still that selfish part or element

that you need, like absolutely. Like you can't, you can't race fully selfless. Yeah. You just won't, you won't take those. It's how it'll take the edge away. You can't like wave people. Okay. Yeah. Oh, you were not, you bought me dinner last night.

Yeah. Sure. Like it's, you can't be like that. So I think, yeah, the, the humble thing was like the last couple of years were a bit more of a struggle for me, for sure. And it was, you know, you go through your whole career, like I'm the best, I'm the best and I'm invincible and this and that. And yeah, there's obviously moments where you aren't. And I think, you know, I probably had more

of those moments the last couple of years. So that's where I was like, okay, it was more just sort of awareness as well to know that, yeah, okay, there's things I need to work on. And if I do want to truly be, call it invincible, then these are my weaknesses. And that's what I have to address. Yeah. So in that interview too, you talked about maybe not a regret, but like maybe it was a mistake to leave Red Bull.

How, how is that like the last few years when you left and then coming back, it's, you know, it's been a journey and it's been weird to, you know, watch the, the different teams and stuff. So are you like mad at yourself or are you just like, hey, this is a learning process is what, this is what happens in sports. Yeah, I'm not mad at myself, you know, I think I'm kind of at that. Yeah, kind of that point as well, where I see things, I

feel like everything happens for a reason. And I feel like these, these last few years all made me, you know, and it wasn't all bad, like there were some good moments, don't get me wrong. But yeah, it's kind of like it made me see things with a different kind of perspective. It made me mature, made me appreciate things in a different way. So now going back like full circle to Red Bull, and even though I'm not in a race seat at the moment, it's, it's like, oh, like, yeah, this is, this is the

family, like this is where, you know, I, I'm happy to come home to and where I feel like I truly belong. And you know, it's, yeah, it's like, so I don't, I don't regret it because at that time I really felt like I needed to see something else. And it's like, you know, you think, yeah, grass is always greener. And of course, you're young and you're hungry and you want to just go and try and take every opportunity in front of you. But but now where I'm at, I'm like, yeah, I'm so happy to be back.

It's a cool story. I mean, it's I think everyone has those moments in life where they, you know, take a risk, do something different. And they're like, Oh, maybe this was better. So right now, you're you're the third driver, what does that look like day to day week to week? Like what is, are you doing the same prep as them? Are you like doing the same schedule as them? Yeah. So I'm, I'm like preparing all their meals in the hope that one of them is slightly tarnished. But I mean, actually,

no, like, I am enjoying this like little bit of time off for now. And yes, the hunger is still there. But I'm like, I'm okay with weather years out and having this time off and yes, watching the races, I do feel a bit like antsy and the adrenaline gets spiked. But I'm yeah, kind of just happy being, let's say patient. But yeah, I'm doing like all like the meetings and that and I'm doing simulator when I'm back in the UK with the team. So like staying sharp enough, but still giving myself some time

off to yeah, just kind of reset myself. You got to realize like we are the biggest backup quarterback fans in the world. Like we think that is the dream job in any in any sport, like all sports being the backup quarterback. So like, maybe stupid, because you obviously are more competitive than we are. And like you have the inner drive. But seems like a sweet gig, like I'd take that gig. It is hang out. Obviously, you're doing more than hang out. But backup court, like we have

a Chase Daniel backup quarterback in America. He's thrown like, I don't know, maybe like 200 passes. And he's made like $50 million. And like 15 years. Yeah, nice. Yeah. Yeah. So it's might might be, you know, it's a Daniel. I know you want to get back in there. I know you want to get back in there. And I want to see you back in there. But it seems like it might not be the worst year possible. Absolutely. Like I when I when it was like, I knew kind of deep

down that I needed this year off. And I needed just to like step away from the sport a little bit. You know, moments last year, I was like, I can't kind of keep going through this and that. And yeah, like so it was very risky in terms of a lot of people's eyes. Like if you remove yourself from the sport, then you'll never come back. Like it's such a risk. Not many drivers have kind of had a sabbatical or whatever and come back. But I knew that it was like just for me, the best thing. And I already

feel like kind of like lighter, fresher. I feel like reenergized. I don't know. And I think as well, you never I would never would have given myself this perspective to see kind of from this angle with this time. So I know like if I get back in the car, I'm like, Oh, yeah, like, why was I doing it that way? Like I would do this. And even just like maybe it's the people around me yet do that, cut these things out, focus on this area. So like, just with the way the season is, you just don't get the

luxury of time to really have that evaluation. Yeah. Yeah. So deep down inside, you probably you still feel like you're the best driver in the world, right? There is there is certainly a very big part of me which still feels that. But I know that like I'm kind of holding myself. And this is maybe like to keep that fire there is like, I still want to prove that to myself. Like I believe it, but I want to go out there and like prove it again to myself. So I'm not going

to go and like blow my horn and make too much noise for now. But yeah, I feel I feel there's certainly an element you tell us when you want us to start pulling your horn, we'll be ready to go. So like you tell us like, Hey, like maybe end of the year and like, yeah, go time, let's get the PR machine going. We'll be all right. Yeah, it's kind of like you're a Bill's fan, Stefan Diggs, he stayed on the field at the AFC championship game to watch the celebration so that he would

have that feeling inside. I'm like, I want to get better. I want to remember this feeling so that I want even more to like work harder in the offseason, overcome everything. Every time you see somebody on the podium, that's on your team, that's not you, you're probably thinking like, Yeah, that's gonna be me. That's gonna be me one day. Yeah, it's honestly that like what you said there is very, very accurate. Like a lot of us, I think think like that. And yeah,

you kind of want to put yourself in a in a bit of like a painful situation. Yeah. Yeah, give you that drive. And actually, I've met Steph at the Gala as well. And he was cool. We chatted a bit. And I think he's coming to the race this week. Oh, nice. Yeah. So you went to a Bill's game this year, right? Yeah, which I still haven't been to Buffalo. Okay, so I went to which I went to MetLife. Oh, that was a bad game. I know. That was really bad. Yeah. So your best friends with Josh Allen were

best friends with Josh Allen. Should we fight it out? Yeah. Do you want to ask McCall? Yeah, call McCall. Will he pick up my phone? Yeah, he will. Yeah, pick up for me. He does always $15 million though. Yeah. Really? That impacts our friendship a little bit. Yes. Okay, you can actually ask him that be like, are when are you going to pay the guys the $15 million? So we see if he picks up? Yeah. Do you have the phone? So we see if Josh picks up? Yeah. And if he doesn't, he'll probably pick up

for me. It's a FaceTime as well. Yeah, okay, well, he'll probably pick up for me, but probably not you. Let me check. Hopefully he picks up for you. All right. Well, this this week, Josh Allen. All right. We're good friends. Yeah. There's a lot of pressure on you. I know he loves you guys. There's a lot of pressure on you. Come on, Josh. I think he's gonna pick up. Come on, Josh. We're good. We're good. Oh, let me call him real quick. I'll call him. No, I'll call him. He hung up on

you. Oh, hey, Josh. Yeah, there it is. That's that's the question, Josh. Yeah, are you better friends with Daniel Ricardo or with us? Danny Rick. Oh, hang up on him. That's because you owe us $15 million. You owe them a lot of money, apparently. I don't know what's going on. Allegedly. I think we have the tapes. I don't think it's alleged. I mean, yeah, I mean, you know, it's kind of like how Tank and Ryan Garcia bet the whole fight, but like Ryan Garcia just said, nah, you keep

your half. It's fine. Oh, okay. Okay. All right. So you need us to just say that. Okay. All right. All right. I'm sorry to put you on the spot. Sorry, right? Good to see you, Josh. So it's good. Your hair is beautiful, by the way. I was gonna say that too, Josh. Your hair is beautiful. He's going I think your whole personality is beautiful, Josh. And your arm is gorgeous. I think you guys are I think PFT's got better hair than I do. Oh, thanks, Josh. I'm growing back. All right,

thanks, Josh. I'll speak to you later. Love you, dog. He's the best. Do you hear the Aussie accident? Do you do an American accident? We both admit, sorry, just let me just I gotta get this one out there. We both like, very comfortable saying like we're each other's man crush. Oh, yeah. It's it's a thing. It's hard not to love Josh out. Yeah. I am I speaking on behalf of three of us? Yeah, no, no, I absolutely have a man crush on him when he when he plays games will just be like, whoa, look at him.

Look at him running over people. He's majestic. So yeah, the whole jumping over people thing. Uh huh. He just we call it I don't know if you ever played like video like Madden or video games, like football video games, but we call it smashing all the buttons where like there'll be a few plays where he'll just smash all the buttons and it will work. Like where it's just like, what is he doing? Oh, it worked out. It's like a touchdown. It's like a spin move into a hurdle into

a jump into a lateral throw. Yeah. All at once. Yeah, it's electrifying to watch. Mash it all. But so you got to get to Buffalo. Yes. So that's and especially the beauty of this year and having now this time off is I'm like, I've got bucket list that I'm ticking off and that is one thing I'm like, if I don't get to Buffalo this year, because if I'm on the grid again next year, I could be it could be five more years down the track. Yeah, I don't want to wait that long.

So we'll go with you. Yeah, you're gonna go with you. Yes, because I remember you guys I think said you were like when I go, we're going together. Yes, yes, we're gonna get Pinto Rhonda to squirt will squirt catch up on him and everything. I don't know if you've ever seen that but the whole video the bills mafia. Yeah, what the tailgate is incredible. Pinto Ron is a guy a bills fan. He before every game he gets a hand to hamburger buns stands underneath a van and then like, we've done it

before. Like five people just squirt catch up and mustard all over him. It's the fun. Yeah, just get seen. Yeah, we got to do that with Pinto. And so and so we would be the yeah, we squirt it all. Okay, yeah. And they they they have this station where you take bowling balls and you fill the bowling balls with liquor. And then you take a shot out of the bowling. I think that's how out of like the finger holes. Yeah, yeah, it's kind of gross kind of awesome. Yeah, it is. People think it was

one on it was actually Buffalo. Okay. Um, alright, so we have a present for you. I know you got a run. You got a busy schedule. I know. I wish I could talk longer. Yeah. So you were nice enough. You did send us a party shirt. It was I'm not gonna lie. It was not it was like a it was like a cocktail hour. I got one you didn't want to have any help. So I got I went down to the mall downstairs. Yeah, we should do party shirts. Oh, that's your party shirt. That's actually I think this is a pretty

sick party shirt. Yeah, it is interesting. Interesting. Is this I feel like this is a long sleeve number. It is. Yeah. Do you prefer short sleeve? I don't know. Is it a party shirt if it's a long sleeve? Well, you can tear the sleeves off. Yeah, you can tear the sleeves off. Is this am I wearing a party shirt right now? It's no because it's not you don't have buttons all the way down. Oh, that's more of like you're going golf in that show. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Alright. I love the what are they

called again? Are they flamingos? Flamingos. You didn't know what flamingos were called. I you you're so Australian. You're probably like, what is that? There's a pink spider. Does it kill you? Everything's a spider to you. I feel like this is something old. We're at a wedding. Oh, that's a good party shirt. Oh, there's a lot going on. Yeah, it's better than the party shirt you gave us. I would say we both need to do some work. Yeah, I think I think you went to calls and you bought

like a $15 shirt off the rack. Yeah, it was like urban outfitters. I'm going to give you guys a real swanky, real obnoxious, nice one. Okay, okay. I like I know I've said that before, but I really need to live up to my word now. So Josh shows us 15 million. You are a party shirt. I like one of you could you could swap to Josh could give us a party shirt. You give us 15 million. That's fine. You guys settle between the two of you. Yeah. Most important. Sorry. Yeah. When are we going

to Buffalo? When's do we know the schedule? What's going on? We they they release schedule next week. Yeah, they did the schedule release for the schedule release last I really wings everything we'll do it all. What what what alcohol you drink and out of the bowling bowl? I think they do like it's like a cherry liquor that they pour it for you. Oh, so it's a whole station. I don't think you can make demands. I drink what they put in there. And like we're Buffalo. We love Buffalo to

the point like we've actually made the joke you're like you did you watch the Pablo Escobar show on Netflix? Maybe not either titles one. Yeah, either way. He like when when all hell broke loose and he's like I'm going back to like home and like everyone will protect me there. We've always made the joke if like shit hits the fan, we'll just move to Buffalo and like the people of Buffalo will protect us from everyone else. That's that's Buffalo. So we're gonna do it. I love it. All

right. Well, good luck rest of the season. Thank you. You let us know when we need to start blowing the button. Yeah, we're gonna hit the Daniel Ricardo button. Yeah, he's back and he's gonna win them all. So sign them. You just let us know we're on it. All right. I'm gonna be even more jacked by that point. Hell yeah. Get stronger. You get to jack for a race car though? Probably. Yeah, but I'm not there yet. I'm still still pretty lame. You got some room. All right. Well, thank you so much,

My question we're taping this by the way before the Celtics heat game for false. So the Celtics won. Celtics won easy. Game of your 20s

game of the decade. Easy game. It's my game of my 20s. Which decade? My 20s. Okay, which only has my roaring 23 weeks less than a week or no less than three weeks. You don't know when your birthday is moving. No, but like, you know, moving sometimes it gets gets the memories going. You get like a weird weird kind of like, yeah, you think your birthday is in May. It's actually in June. Nostalgic. And I've just been like, damn, I'm almost in my 30s. And then I realized I had

never loved to bet as much as I loved the Celtics tonight. So shout out to everyone that wrote with me. Yeah, Hank, I'm rooting for you. You want to know why? Because I think it'd be much, much funnier if you lost the golf bet after going down three one, than if you just got totally swept. Yeah, I mean, I think if you lose your minus sign maniac parlay, you should I don't even know what you should have to I like that name for it's investment, Hank. It's I'm getting 11% back

return. You've been hanging out Billy too much. It's it's insane. No, there's nothing. Think about that. That is I'm riding with Jake. I'm riding with Jake. I put $10,000 on the Panthers to close it out on the peas go peas and love the peas parlay that with the heat closing it out at some point against the Celtics. As long as they win the series, both they're gonna win. They're gonna win. If they don't, you gotta get enough. You gotta run back the sole patch. Maybe even cut

the hair. Oh, and what that's too much because $10,000 and losing the hair. Yeah, maybe I could sell the hair for $10,000 to a rich cancer patient. My question with being on the internet is your career. Which piece of content has been the hardest to explain to your family, friends and loved ones? So a video of big cat kissing a dude in the lips and can only imagine that conversation with the in-laws. Thanks. Yeah. I have a few but yeah, there's pissing my pants. There's a bunch

to choose from pissing my pants. Definitely up there. My wife isn't a huge fan. Whenever I take off my shirt. That's just kind of just not a huge fan of me taking off my shirt on camera. Does she like try to avoid it but then still sees I told you I don't love it when you take off your shirt. I'm like, Well, I told you this is my job. She's like fair. So that kind of ends up she's probably just like I don't want you putting the goods out there for other people. So that's just

for me. Yeah, it's it is a beacon for women to start, you know, flocking towards me whenever they see my large nipples. Yeah, I would say probably the time I probably the time I and dark I eat horse shit on camera. That was that was a tough one to explain away. No, I'm doing this. I'm doing this satirically. This was this is a bit I was eating horse shit as a joke. Yeah, but I kind of had to do it. When you when you explain to somebody the reason why you ate horse shit was so

the capitals could win the Stanley Cup and then it happened, then it takes a little bit of sting out of it that visual is still going to be out there. For the most part, I would say family is very, very supportive because you can't do this job without that. But I have like uncles like in laws, like you're at you're at Thanksgiving or like, hey, like I saw it like the I saw you piss your pants like what was that about? Yeah, they kind of just expected at

this point that I would say there's definitely a part of me that knows that I've talked about safe drug use. And that will make it a little difficult when I have that conversation with my children, because they'll be like, like don't do drugs. They'll be like, Well, what about the time you said that you like to do mushrooms and coke and we know like that was old man. Yeah, yeah, it was a bit. Don't worry about it. It was a deep fake. Yeah, maybe I'll just like fake

an injury and be like, Yeah, all those drugs. That's why your dad can't walk. The thing is, I'm pretty sure that if we're talking parents, our parents laugh at the stupid stuff you guys do, like my parents would laugh at the stupid stuff you guys did on camera. Your parents probably wouldn't like watching the stupid stuff, but they'll laugh at the stuff that we did that was just as bad. It's just like seeing your own flesh and blood do it. They're very supportive. Oh, yeah, my

direct family super supportive. When I got arrested, that was like every family party for a few years was like, do you got arrested? Like, yeah, what was that about? Yeah. Yeah, the MDMA. The MDMA thing was tough to explain. I had a hard time with that. Yeah. The drugs. That's what I'm saying. Like it's just, listen, it's, it's, you really can't do this job unless you have a very support, a great support system. And I think my support system,

mine was eating the hot dogs with no hands. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's why Billy didn't do it. He didn't want his dad to call him gay. Yeah. Like you have to go deep into it saying, you know, I had eight minutes to make my target score easier. There's a lot of explaining to do there. Oh, since Jake talked there. The Ray Allen tweet, definitely. I hit up a few times about round. My mother has never been more upset with anyone other than you. Oh, yeah. That's okay. I'll take that. I'll

take that. Yeah. The Ray Allen tweet did not go great. I'll say that when I said doesn't usually text me when she does it's usually like she'll send it in the conduct is like, yeah. Yeah, that's not great. Yeah. When I said a couple weeks ago that I was going to have a baby after Hank won the lottery ball, I got a couple texts from people that I usually don't get texts from asking me what was going on with that. That was that was difficult. Yeah, tough to explain. Yeah. I will have a

kid. Yeah, there's a hard and fast no tattoos and no motorcycles rule in my family. Good thing you've never gotten a tattoo. I got one on the bottom of my foot. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And you called me and said you have to reimburse me. I was like, why no tattoos? It's just the thing. That was I did feel bad. That has tattoos and motorcycle. No, just people have died on motorcycles. Oh, I felt bad for Billy in that moment because he was very mad. But he called me and was like,

you have to pay for the tattoo removal. And I was like, I literally had nothing to do with this. It was like a totally separate piece of content. He just called me one event. But yeah, it rubbed off, right? Yeah, I took a sandpaper and I just rubbed it off because if they know it was on the bottom of his foot, if any of them saw that tattoo, I'd be like disowned out. I don't know. It's just like one of those things for having a tattoo on the bottom of your foot. It's

just, I don't know. Okay, so what about you, Hank? Is there anything that you've done on camera that your family's been like, what's going on with this? Yeah, a lot. I'm trying to I mean, the you cut your you cut your finger off with the drone, cut the finger off with the drone. That actually is when my mom started to turn on Dave. I don't think she was the biggest fan of Dave early on, especially with how kind of mean he was to me. Like she didn't like that. But he like took me to the

hospital and was like, you know, looking after me mom after that was like, Oh, like, he was super helpful that day. Here's a here's one that will probably start conversations. But tell me I had a really bad thought. When I was going home last night, intrusive thought, intrusive thought. Pft. The Bears and Commanders play week five Thursday night football. They sure do. We should make it a tattoo bet. It's the dumbest. It will be the dumbest game ever to have a tattoo bed. Why would

you don't have? Why would you say that out loud for the first time? I know, I know, I know, I know, this is a conversation that should have happened. We'll table it. We'll table it. We'll table it. But I was just I mean, what happened was I was going home and I was just laughing to myself being like, because, you know, tattoo bets kind of they reached a peak when fantasy football got big like 15 years ago. But to just be like, why do you have that to tattoo? It's like, well, the like six and 11

Bears lost to the five and 12 Washington Commanders a week five 2023 season. The dumbest reason to get a tattoo. We'll table it. I mean, okay, I'm in. I mean, we should also we should we should make shirts for it going into it like the like the inaugural PMT will have a pissed off major tutty facing off against a giant bear. Yes, that'd be sick. Yes. That's a two bet for week five Thursday night football. Yeah, it just means more. I mean, it's pretty good. I don't want to rain on

your guys parade, but I'll say this question. I'll call it foreshadowing. Uh oh. For that tattoo bet. Uh oh. Hey, big cat PFT and Mr. Titletown and Hank's dad, Jake. Yes. How is your guys fantasy baseball league going? Oh, good question. It's we're we're we're getting closer every day that we wake up. We are one day closer to doing the draft. I I have to admit I miss playing fantasy baseball. We're I'm a little bit bitter that the league hasn't started. We're gonna start it. I should

be knuckles deep and fancy. We're gonna start it. We're gonna start it within the next four months. If it doesn't start by the all star break. I'm starting my own league. So we had the idea and people can tell us you know, sound off in the comments. Let us know week of July 4th. We will have a new uh Dungeons and Dragons episode. Would people be upset if we just had an entire podcast that was just us doing our draft sound off in the comments? Because I think that's what we

should do. All star break. Worst stuff. Literally have to be like, all right, with the first pick, I'm taking this got Mike Trout and then like, all right, PFT, you're up. Yeah. No visuals. Yeah, we should we should do it with no reminders whatsoever of which players have been drafted. Yeah. And just see if we can fill out a fantasy roster just by naming current players. It would be one of the worst episodes we've ever done but I kind of I kind of like the idea. Sound off in the

comments. Sound off in the comments because that would be a horrible but terrible but it would get good because it's so bad and I think it's like if you're in a spot, you know, God willing, you're just getting chip face having a great time for the job a week if you're sitting in an office somewhere like yeah and why not just listen to a baseball draft. Yeah, exactly. It'd just be us saying names for two hours. Correct. Probably longer actually. Sup fellas, how

did Brooks Kepka get into the Blake of the Year running? Oh, good question. So the first time we interviewed Brooks, it was right before he played at Bethpage, right? Yes. For the for the US Open. Yes. Which he won. Yes. PGA 2019. PGA 2019. Thank you, Jack. Very cool. 2018. Thank you, Hank. Even cooler. Very cool. Got him. Owned J18. 2019. Oh, reversal. Wait, who got owned? 2018. Who got owned? You might as may have done it there but no. It wasn't Shinnecock. It wasn't

the interview before the. Bethpage 2019. Oh, shit, Hank. Oh, my God. You should get tattooed. Fuck you, Jake. Sorry. He is your daddy. Yeah. He's your daddy. Oh, yeah. So we interviewed Brooks and we were talking about his his mentality for golf and he was just saying that he kind of blacks out between holes what like eight and 15 he plays and he was just very chill and so in the interview, Big Cat, I looked at each other and Big Cat goes, I think he's a Blake. Yeah. I

think this guy's a Blake and so we just started calling him Blake from that point on and his name is close enough and he just has. Yeah, he's just a chill dude like the epitome of Blake's Blake Griffin and Blake Bortles are two dudes that are professional athletes and make millions and millions of dollars and are better at their job than like 99.9% of the world but they're also just regular dudes that are awesome to be around. Yeah. That's the definition of a Blake and

Brooks was so chill last night at the P's game. Yeah. Just hanging out just being relaxed like a Blake. Hyper chill. It was insanely chill. It was Colombian night. Yeah. Just not blinking. That's how chilly was. There's actually another foreshadowing question. This is some crazy FAQs. Oh no. Sup father of three cat PFT Hank, Billy, Jake and Max Vic. Have you had any ideas for the show? Oh my god. Max Vic. It took me a few seconds. Yeah. He's fast. Yeah, that's

right. He's fast. Love the game changer. Have you had any ideas for the show? Any murders dogs that you thought would be awesome. Does not have herpes though. Do not murder dogs but ended up being a complete flop. Wait, say it again. Have you had any ideas for the show that you thought would be awesome but ended up being a complete flop? Yeah, I'd say our first idea for the show where we decided that we would play Airhorns in between segments and limit the interviews to four

good minutes and tape it in the morning and tape it in the morning. That lasted a week. We interviewed Chris Long and we didn't ask him a single question. Our Saturday shows were when we try to do Saturday. Let's get weird. That was we realized, hey, we we already talking a lot. We don't really need to just add a Saturday show. Uh that was that was a bad idea. Yeah. Yeah, we do have to get him back on but yeah, I would say the the the first iteration of the show where we

decided we're going to tape it like eight in the morning and uh yeah, that was stupid. That was very stupid of us. I I will put my hand up and say that I believe it was my idea and I definitely advocated for doing the Blake of the Year lottery ball idea. Oh yeah, that was a dumb one. That was that was a dumb one. Really bad. Yeah, that was a really like I was like, oh, it'll be so long. It will be funny and it actually was beyond painful. Um encouraging Billy to do his QB bracket

every year. I actually love the QB. Yeah, no, that's that's good. I love the QB bracket. I wish we could do it every day. If you don't love the QB bracket, then you should not be listening to the show. I love the QB bracket. Uh yeah, I think that's yeah, that's probably the majority of them. Jake, what about you? Say something bad about part of my take? What's the worst idea we've ever had? I didn't know you guys did Saturday morning shows. It was like two. I was so out on those.

It was so stupid of us because it also it was back when we were just starting and it would fuck up our download numbers too because it would be like I might have just made that up. You could have. Yeah, I actually might have made that up just to get us not to do it. But yeah, that was that was one where it was like, you know, we don't need to do this four times a week. We talk a lot. We talk six to eight hours every single week because I was like, well, we're going to Friday

afternoons. I was like, no. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That was the seedlings of Vacation Hank. This I'll say this and it's exciting because you know, as long as we've been doing the show, I feel very similar to how I do in summer 2016 where it's got a fun summer in front of us and then it's going to be an unbelievable new opportunity and we're just going to grow out. It's true. I'm so excited. Like just the change of scenery getting into a new studio, new office, like everything has me

pumped up. I can't wait. New life. It's like but there's still some time. Yeah. Yeah. Have a nice summer and then we're going in. Summer 16. It was it was a movie. It really was. Summer 16 hit different. Changed every summer. Yeah. It did. Changed everything. Billy's smiling because he's thinking about a world order. Both in the world order. He's thinking of Donald Trump and Harambe wrestling. Pokemon Go. Yeah. Is that it? Yeah. Okay. Lottery ball numbers. How where are we

Jake? Do we have someone who's going to build us this machine that I love to look through the because I have it in my head and it's enormous and it's cool. Yeah. Hank wants it to come out of the out of the floor. That would be sick. It would be so say he's like what if we had to come out of the floor? That was like it would be sick. That would be so there's no way that's happening. No, but it would be so sick. It would be fucking sick. Like we're like a trap door in Austin powers.

Like that would that's what would happen. Just produces one number. You're talking about like an air pressure machine that goes underneath the floor. Like as it comes out, smoke billows out. Yeah. Yeah. And then it's bigger than big cat. Yeah. We like have like the undertaker come out pretty much every single episode. Yeah. Also, congratulations to Max Homa better late than never. Yeah, that was he got the lottery ball. He had gotten it already. Yes, he has. All right.

But like he still deserves it. Yeah, he still deserves it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was such a sad. You guys didn't join me. Yeah. No. Wow. He won the lottery. If you're not if you're not saying the number in this room, I don't count it. Okay. I count every I got it. I got it. That means that that max is beaten Hank. Yes. He's tied with me. Max has beaten Hank. He's got a lot of involved for three months. Yeah, but he has but he has. Okay. Numbers. 26. 55. We'll go 29. Wait, where's

memes? memes is out this week. So he would guess two. He won one. We'll give him one. Has he gotten it? He has never gotten it. 20. What was your guess, Hank? 29. It's 18. What was your guess, BFT? 55. It's for winning my game of game of my decade. Which he didn't win. I like that game of my decade. Not the decade. That's smart. It's not your decade. It's his decade. Well, everyone's decade starts 75. Everyone's decade starts at different times. There was no year zero. 75.
