Today is Monday, June 17th and the Gucci Gang fell just short. Well, it was close and here's a quick spin zone for Brooks Kepke fans, all the Brooks stands out there. He said to us that he's really focusing on the open championship this year, the British Open.

That's the one he doesn't have, he really really wants that one. He's already won two US Opens. Don't get greedy. So yeah, he was looking ahead to whatever fucked up course they're going to be on in a couple of months, probably whistling. Where are they going? St. Andrews or St. Michael's, whatever, just St. Something in Scotland or Wales or Ireland.

I don't I don't know. But I listen. Brooks put up a valiant effort. He was going for the three Pete, which would have been incredible to watch. Would have been a dynasty. Would have been a dynasty. But I think there is a certain element of whatever the best story is for Father's Day will happen.

And that was Gary Woodland. And he was fantastic. Sinking the last pot, which is always like a huge moment. You never want to be the guy who gets like a bogey on the last hole to win by one stroke. He he cashed that last pot. It was very emotional. The crowd was chanting Gary, which is not like a name that rolls off the tongue for the champ. Yeah.

But everyone was like, Gary, Gary, so congrats to him. We're going to get to the AD trade. We're going to do some US Open talk first. The course. Let's talk about the course. Of course, fucking sucked a bit, a bit of a disappointment for the guys that root for the course out there. It had a couple highlights.

Now, I'll say this the way that it ends at Pebble Beach, when they have a big fucking tree that's just growing in the middle of the fairway, that's always cool. That is like, OK, then you don't get that anywhere else. And you have to shape your shot around the fucking tree. The tree of life is like a tree of life from Avatar. Yeah. Yeah, I never saw it. Well, soon Avatar two is going to come out in 2028. Yeah, as soon as Alabama and it's usually like Illinois finished doing their home and

home that they've already scheduled. It's soon as soon as all those weirdos that got super depressed that they weren't part of the what was the what was the name of the Avatar nation? The unobtainium. Yeah, as soon as do you remember that when after Avatar ended, there was like a but there were stories in like the New York Times being like people are depressed are not part of like the blue blue part of the world. Yeah, they created.

I go through that every time avatars. Listen, join the rest of us because that's a feeling everyone else gets when they get done watching porn. Yeah, I get depressed that I wasn't in that orgy. So but the tree of life was nice. And then the the seagull that swooped down and tried to eat Phil Mickelson's tee shot. Yes, that was pretty cool.

I'd like to see more nature get involved. That's a lot of these. Some rough. There was a bit of fescue in there and there are sand shots. Yeah, just overall kind of a disappointing showing from the course. I feel like it's got to drop a little bit in the world rankings. Yeah, the red numbers on Sunday. Not great when you're when you're trying to defend the course for the U.S.

Open now, there is a little bit of controversy because people were saying that Woodland was playing too slow and Brooks got bored. Yeah, there was a moment where they were like Brooks is is held up because they can't find someone else's ball. He was just hanging out. It was reported that he was talking about dipping with his with the guy he was playing with Ches and Shay. Yeah, by the way, just a sidebar here, two great names on Sunday.

Ches Revy and Cheson Hadley. The fact that he wasn't playing for the Atlai. Yeah, I thought that was the PLL was insane. Cheson Hadley, Cheson Hadley, Cheson Hadley. So, yeah, Brooks got screwed by the fact that everything was moving too slow. And we know Brooks doesn't like to play slow. He likes to play fast. He's he actually was playing ahead of the camera.

There was multiple times where we just didn't see his live shot. Yeah, because he was so fast. He's an adrenaline guy. Yeah, the second you slow him down, it was like putting in a relief pitcher. They kind of took the rhythm out of Brooks kept because he started out when he birdied the first like three or four holes. He was on fire. He was on fire at the start.

And then once he started to get bored, as he said, like holes, seven through 12. It's like, just get rid of those holes. He was right. Just get rid of those ones and he'd be fine. Yeah, he would have been the champion. But it was a valiant effort by Brooks. He also we also had an all time Brooks Blake. By the way, I just keep calling him Blake like in the privacy of my own home.

I've been saying Blake and just being like, that's not his name, but I've been saying it. He on Saturday, it was cold at Pebble Beach. And Joel Klatt asked Brooks after the round, why didn't you get like maybe like a cup of coffee or something to warm up your hands? And he just matter of factly said, I've never had a hot drink in my life. And he was like, what? Well, I grew up in Florida. So like hot cocoa.

Nope, never had a hot drink in his life in shades of Blake Bortles telling us that snow is in fact wet back in 2017 or 16. This guy, this guy Blake Kepka, he's doing he is a very, very Florida man. Yeah, I don't blame like you grew up in Florida. The hottest drink you have is just a beer that you left out in the sun for too long. Yeah, that's that's like their version of tea is just 40 of Milwaukee's best ice that you left on your back porch in May. He's the inverse of Nick Van Exel just finally like at the age of 50, figuring

out iced coffee. That's still, by the way, an underrated storyline. If you don't know, Nick Van Exel has lived his entire life until last week, not knowing that iced coffee existed, not not saying I don't like iced coffee. He was mad at everyone for not telling him about iced coffee. Listen, Florida's got a lot of great things down there. And then he goes to bed at night. He's like, can't go to bed, can't wait to wake up for my iced coffee. Now it's life changing.

He's going to get really into iced coffee for like a couple of weeks and then forget about it for another 40 years. It's like the the the moments in life for Nick Van Exel is just everything in between his next ice coffee. It's like when 50 Cent was at a club or I know he was at like dinner somewhere and he ordered a grapefruit soda and they brought it out. He's like, what? Why the fuck isn't this purple? He didn't know that a grapefruit was different than the fruit.

Grape, right? Yeah, right. So, yeah, that's that's our iced coffee and Blake Kepka never having a hot drink sidebar. But yeah, so the course sucked. Blake almost won. He should have won, but he didn't. Gary Woodland, great story. Father's Day story.

Yeah, I know he's got, you know, he had that clip from the Waste Management Open, which is so funny. They're like they keep showing this emotional clip of Gary Woodland, basically like having I don't even know what what the premise behind it was, but there was a mentally retarded girl who played the hole with him. And I think she she just nailed her putt. It was like an all time tear jerker moment.

But the fact they have to keep saying at the Waste Management Open is so fucking funny. Yeah, no, it is great. The way they should have Pauly from the sopranos deliver the award every year for that for excellence in the field of waste disposal. I wrote down a couple other notes about the the U.S. mentally retarded or developed developmentally challenged. What are you supposed to say mentally challenged? Yeah, whatever it was, it was a great story.

Sorry, I know there's you're not supposed to say that. I don't know. OK, we'll get that out of person with Down syndrome. Yes. Yeah, she was developmentally challenged in some way. And she was playing with Gary and it was a great challenge. We're losing. I feel like that's even worse. We're losing the track of what the story was. Right. And that was this girl made an awesome. I can't keep up with what Gary is no harm.

A guy that you want to root for. Yes. All right. So the other things I wrote down, how much does it suck? Do you think to be in the final pairing? What are you looking at me for? Hank, what is it? Google it. Ask it. Do a poll on Twitter right now.

No. And just have people try to figure out what we're talking about. Hard. No. Like, what is it? What is the proper name for this? I listen, I can't keep up with it. I meant no, no, just, you know, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I know. I just figured that was. I figured we'd have the conversation.

All right. So I guess about breaking news. Breaking news, the open championship will be held at Royal Port Rush Golf Club in Northern Ireland. Perfect. So the Protestants finally get their due. Rory. Rory is going to absolutely know. I always get confused when I see the Northern Ireland flag pop up. That's somebody's name. I'm like, wait, that just that just looks like a more racist English flag.

Yes. Yes. So all right. So I wrote down this. Justin Rose, Liam Neeson is going to be walking around with a putter just looking to crush somebody. Yeah. What was it? During the troubles, during the trouble, a cudgel, a cudgel. Yeah, he's canceled, so he's not invited. That guy. Wow. He's not.

But is he canceled? I feel like he's going to just come out with a movie where he hunts someone down and everyone's like, oh, yeah, Liam Neeson's back. Well, put it this way, we're still making movies with Mel Gibson as a star. So he had to come back. Yeah. All right. So Justin Rose, I always find it fascinating when you're in the final pairing and you're with the winner, the eventual winner and you just fucking suck on Sunday.

That's got to be the worst. Like in terms of all sports, because if you suck in a team sport, you're getting put on the bench. You know, you have a moment, but it's over. He literally knew like probably about eight holes in today's not my day. I stink and the cameras just have to keep watching him. And then at the end, Gary Woodland sinks his putt. Everyone's chanting Gary, Gary, and Justin Rose still has to go.

Yeah, like, pathetically finish his round where I think he shot plus four. That is maybe the worst spot to be in pro sport. Oh, it's tough. It's very, very tough. Do we have it? Do they do like the program the week after US Open? I don't know why. Because I mean, this is classic Chris Berman territory here, the Pebble Beach program. That's where he comes out and he shines.

I think the golf. I think the course needs a couple of weeks to like recoup. Well, yeah, it does need some time off. I would go like try to find yourself, like rebuild your swing. Yeah, someone's got to come out and just fill in all the divots with that. That weird green sand that they have at the back of course carts. If you really want to fuck up the course and make it nasty again, just let Berman play four rounds on it and just have him sweat all over

and take divots out. Yeah, and just, you know, by the way, Gary Woodland, very, very poor sport when he chipped off the green. We were saying that that was that's something that is golf guys. I didn't even know that was legal. If you do that at my club, that I don't belong to you're out. We're out, man. We actually had this.

How much we know about golf. We had a real discussion while it was happening. Like, wait, can you do that? Can you? Are you allowed to chip off the green? As long as you don't take a divot and you apologize to the course afterwards. I think that if you're in the last group, you're allowed to do that. Yeah, because you can't fuck it up anymore. That's true. Good point.

OK, so the other thing we got to talk about the real quick with Woodland, I like how he tapes his fingers. Yes. So he looks kind of feel like a real athlete. Yeah, he looks he looks like he's a defensive back in the NFL. And that's a lot of these golf guys. They have they carry around a chip on their shoulder where it's like I could be a real athlete if I wanted to. So I'm just going to like put on this kinesio tape on my neck.

Yeah, I'm going to sleep with Perkins waitresses like I'm a member of the Showtime Lakers bench. Yeah, I'm going to bench. And so that this was Woodland's way of doing it. Maybe seals. Yeah. Yeah. Basically, tape up all his fingers so he looks like a catcher trying to get his picture to see that he's calling for a curve. Exactly. Yeah. All right. So the other story we got to get to this league.

The Raptors couldn't even have the Raptors, the poor Raptors, man. They got cocked by Clay Thompson's ACL. And then two days later, Anthony Davis gets traded to the Lakers in the trade that we all kind of expected to happen that finally happened. And everyone's talking about that. Everyone's talking about this league. Everyone's talking about the Lakers going to win the championship next year.

The chip. And I couldn't even remember who won. Who won the title this year. Oh, the Raptors. Yeah, the Raptors. That's right. Yeah. So not an American team. Yeah, the other the other team. But yeah. So so AD going to the Lakers. This is an immediate whose man situation. Yeah. Whose man is the Lakers? Is it LeBron James's team or is it or is it Kyrie's team?

Well, it is. It's LeBron's team for this reason, because if you were part of LeBron's team, this is since 2000 July 2010. Bobby Marx tweeted this. There's been 42 trades if you were on LeBron's team. Miami had 11, Cleveland had 27 and the Lakers have four. So essentially, if you're on LeBron's team, it's not an if. It's just a win. LeBron will decide to trade you and shout out Kyle Kuzma somehow.

Like I was listening to I think they just forgot that he worked there. No, I so from everything I've like heard, read, listen to Kyle Kuzma just became best friends with LeBron. Smart like he was he was the smart one. Where he was like, I'm going to be LeBron's friend here and show that I'm very mature and not be Lonzo ball. And then eventually I'll get to stick around with LeBron. And when we lose in like the seventh game of the Western Conference Files,

everyone can blame me and not LeBron. Yeah. No, every office in America has that person. That isn't very good at their job, but they become very, very close friends with the person who is good. So then you're just you're totally indispensable at that point. So shout out to to Kuzma. But I do want to say there's a curse that's been put on. Oh, yeah, big time that we have to talk about big time.

And that is the ball curse. Yes, the big ball or brand curse. Lovar said that they will never win another championship after trading away his son, his his direct quote. It will be the worst move the Lakers ever ever did. Does he know they traded? White House and Dwight Howard. Yeah, it will be the worst move the Lakers ever did in their life.

And they will never win another championship. Guarantee it. So this is like the David Griffin member when he did the obviously everyone remembers the Comic Sans post. But part of that Comic Sans post was we are going to win a title before LeBron ever does. No, didn't happen. Also, Dan Gilbert, way to fire David Griffin over like five hundred thousand dollars. And David Griffin just goes to the Pelicans and pulls off a pretty nice fucking deal for Anthony Davis, where he gets I.

So we're going to get it. We have our PMT Sports Biz intern Jake here. I think what I from what I understand, the Pelicans just own every Lakers picks forever. I don't understand how they can swap like every year. And then if they don't want it, they still get it. So the NBA is so they make things needlessly complicated. I could spend five years trying to figure out exactly what all these picks mean and like the definition of the word asset.

And I would never understand it. The only thing I do know is that when LeBron well past LeBron's career, so he'll be retired, AD will probably be retired. There will be a day where we're sitting there. We're like 45 watching the NBA lottery go down and they're going to be like, just remember the Pelicans still have six more of Lakers picks. Well, that's smart. So we won't know who won the trade like ever.

Right. It's like the it's like when when the Celtics traded KG and Pierce the Nets and the Nets gave up every pick for the rest of everything. So New Orleans is going to just be like LA South. Right. OK, so tell us, Jake, and then there's also this thing where if if the trade goes down July 6th, the Lakers have cap room. But if it doesn't, they don't explain it to us.

Yeah. So the two biggest. So the two biggest differences, July 6th and July 30th are the two big differences for when the trade can go down. And July 6th, the very specific date. It's the end of the free agent moratorium date, OK, which is the first week of free agency. They moved it to June 30th at 6 p.m.

So it's not an overnight thing. So if July 6th happens, which Wode reported is most likely, it will leave the Lakers without enough cap space to sign another free agent. It'll be twenty seven and a half million dollars. But Anthony Davis has a four million dollar trade bonus on the table. So if he takes that, it gets docked down to twenty three and a half million. Oh, or he won't, though. Right.

Because Rich Paul and LeBron, they're they're like, come on. So that's the difference. He wants he could help out the team. We'll put you in space jam, too. And we'll pay you $10 million for one of the side kids. Yes, give you that coin. Yeah, exactly. We'll give you a row of grape trees.

Yeah, exactly. So if it was July 30th, it would actually help the Lakers because then OK, they would have thirty two and a half million dollars, which puts in the category, Kenba, Kyrie, et cetera. But the Pelicans would be docked from 19 million to 15 million if that happens. So the Pelicans being in the power position, they really have no. Reasons to do it, right. So they're going to want to wait.

The Lakers will want to wait. The lake. OK, got it. This is like even got confused. Yeah, how he was explaining it. I zoned out. It sounds like such a complicated deal. If I put this, can I put this in the ESPN trade machine and will it work? That's all I need.

I have not tried it. If it works and I'm like, great. Yeah. So all right. So what are we rooting for, Jake? You know, I do we want LeBron to have as little help as possible. Right. You always root for chaos, I guess, too. So true.

Here's another thing. If the trade doesn't go down until July 30th from what I read, don't quote me on this, but I think the Lakers will be picking for the Pelicans, which sets up the awkward draft hat. Oh, yes, that's great. And it's actually, yeah, I actually am. OK, I got it. Thank you, Jake.

Yes, I wanted to go all the way to July 30th. So not only is it the awkward draft hat, but the guy who the Pelicans or the Lakers take can't play for the Pelicans in summer league. Right. That's very fun. That's nice. This is a nice little wrinkle that we've never had. So the trade machine right now already has Anthony Davis on the Lakers. That's a bit cocky. Yeah, that is a little.

I don't like that out of my trade machine about that. Like what if what if one of them just happened to like what if Lonzo Ball tours ACL tomorrow? Yeah, they can always cancel it. Right. They can cancel. Yeah, I mean, it's not official for until July 6th. Listen, that I take it back. This is not Kyrie's team.

It's not LeBron's team. This is Rob Polenka's team. It's true. By the way, Pelicans, this league, they tweeted out the gift of and here we go. Heath Ledger little got him. Batman circa 2009. Shadow John Rostine. All right. So the other things I wrote down about this trade,

they're going to have to Lakers. This is my favorite when the Lakers are back in the spot where they're going to have a really good team and they probably will win the West. Now the Warriors are hurt. They though the thing is they're going to have to fill up this roster with just randoms because they can't really pay anyone else besides Kemba if he comes and then Anthony Davis and LeBron and Kuzma. So I'm hoping that Carmel Anthony, who has not officially retired,

he would be a nice piece. He'd be very nice. Just whatever the fight. There's like a mid level. I don't know what the fuck it is. This seems like a Wayne Wade. Perfect landing spot for Spencer Haas, too. Spencer Haas.

He's in their system. There are a lot of guys out there who I would like to see get a little run for the Lakers at zero dollars. Yeah. No, when do the expiring contracts come into play? Can't they just load up? Can't they just have like six open spots on their bench just with pieces of paper that say expiring contracts pretty much, pretty much?

But maybe it's so fucked up with how they do their trades. It is. I'm dumb. The NFL is great. They're just like, OK, this guy is getting traded for this guy and then this pick. And then in baseball, you have like the player to be named later. Yeah. How does that work? Is it just on the GM to be like, hey, we're not going to fuck you and we're going to name a player later?

Yeah, there's a short list. They're the other team. Yeah, the other thing with the NFL is that we've also figured out that contracts mean nothing. The signing bonus is everything, which is nice. Hank, do you remember? Go back in the time machine Thursday night, we finished taping around two in the morning. I was on my way home.

I saw the Clay Thompson news. I hopped on the group text and I said, fuck, LeBron's going to win a title with the Lakers. And you said, chill. Are you still chill? I'm always chill. Daddy's always happy. But yeah, I mean, probably the worst case scenario. You just did a general reveal and a big like eyebrow came out of the balloon.

It started in the group text. I was like, when we were talking about how Clay Thompson was out and I was like, the Celtics should just go in all in for everyone for a year, regardless, even if even if he's not going to resign, they should just do it. And maybe if they win, he'll resign kind of like Kauai. And then you're like, no, he's going to sign with the Lakers. Yeah. What is this? Is this Houston's year?

Dude, no, Houston's a mess. I mean, they've got the worst contract in sports. They haven't made it. It just sucks because LeBron always does this somehow. It always, it always ends up in to work out for. I know. Well, Rich Paul wins the league. The worst part is to like Clay Thompson and Kevin Durant, both being injured, like they have time to do space jam.

Yes. But they're hurt. They can't do space. Well, they probably have to play. They can just oh, they could be players that get all their talent and ligaments stolen by the monstars. Right. Right. Exactly. OK. No, it's it's LeBron. Like the Lakers are going to be really good next year. Because Anthony Davis and Kauai is not going to go to the Clippers. So it's going to be still going to be LeBron's team.

The Lakers like throughout there. I love that. Like the Lakers are going to be interested in Kauai. Everyone's fucking interested in why I'm interested in everyone. Yeah, very interesting. We want Kauai to be the third host here. He wouldn't say much internship. Open great. Actually, he'd be great to have just, you know, how on Conan O'Brien,

they had Andy Richter as the laughing guy. Yeah. Just have Kauai with a microphone. Just go, I think that should be the worst. Yeah. It would be it would go back to like the first episode where we had like the air horns and all that shit. Yeah. So the Pelicans, though, let's talk about their side of the trade. I actually think that like this was the best possible scenario for them. And I'm saying that because at midways through the season in February,

it was like, OK, Anthony Davis is about to get traded. And they're like, no, we're going to wait by waiting and not playing Anthony Davis. They were able to essentially get Zion. Obviously, they had to get the lottery luck. Right. But if they played Anthony Davis or if they traded Anthony Davis and gotten a bunch of players that then tried that accidentally improved their draft, right? Exactly. So in a weird backwards way, the Pelicans wanted a franchise player

out of the Anthony Davis trade and they sort of got one with Zion. And then Lonzo Ball, who I actually don't think is as bad as people think he is. He still can't shoot whatever. And but he's a nice piece and then they own every pick forever. Yeah. New Orleans is going to be interesting to watch next year. I was a little bit looking forward to the outside chance that Zion and A.D. were going to play together at some point. Here's the one thing that sucks about New Orleans is that Julius Randall

just decided not to take his option for the Pelicans. So he's going to be unrestricted free agent. Julius Randall and Zion Williamson would have been the chonkest front court of all time. Big, big boys. It would have been incredible. Big boys. Those asses thrown around in the paint. Watch out. And then, you know, Sean Payton likes to always. Sean Payton is the king of tampering with other sports athletes. So he's discovered a loophole in it where he can try to like pilfer.

He's going to try to get Zion out to a few practices this summer after training camp a few times. But yeah, he would have loved having those two big boys in town just just so we could throw out a tweet every now and then, like being like, hey, we need a tight end. Yep. We need another tight end. Ben Watson not here. And and again, I can't stress this enough. Dan Gilbert, you're an idiot because David Griffin, like.

Well, he just he just doesn't give contracts to coaches and in front of him and just makes LeBron want to leave twice. Mm hmm. Yeah. A franchise. Yeah. A once in a generation talent who was born an hour away and he makes it so that he doesn't want to be there twice. Now, is is A.D. the best player to ever play with LeBron James? Oh, we get to do the Lakers Center thing, too. Yeah, we get to do all those.

And they somehow skip over Dwight Howard. Is he a true Laker? And what's his name? No, Andrew Bynum. Fucking no respect for Andrew Bynum. Are you leaving out? You're leaving out my man, Kwame Brown, Kwame Brown, too. There's a lot of Lakers Centers. We're just fucking the birthday cake, man.

Everyone's forgetting. But yeah, Anthony Davis. Is he the best player to? Yeah, I'd probably say so. Him or Dwayne Wade? Yeah. Yeah. Deli. I mean, Kyrie Deli is up there as well. Kyrie is definitely going to go to the Nets now and just be weird

and probably hate it after like a year. So dumb because he hates everywhere. It's like a slightly worse situation in the South. Kyrie is the least weird that that he would be like that. Kyrie could be on a team like what team has the strongest group of people around that could just be like, Hey, Kyrie, just be cool. Just be normal. Kyrie reminds me when I was like 11.

I was like, I want to do karate. And then, like, you know, after like two weeks, it's like, I fucking hate karate. Like, that's what he does with teams. Yeah, right. Exactly. Like you when you're scatterbrained and you're like, Oh, how about hockey? Mighty Ducks was cool. And they're like, No, I don't want to do this.

I want to wake up early. That's Kyrie. But just with professional, you know, basketball, I think he's a different franchise. He just might have ADD. Yeah, just put him on some Ritalin. Yeah, let him lock in somewhere. We got to get him on the show, though.

In Brooklyn, we'll just hunt him down. He'll probably fucking live in like Williamsburg and just do weird shit on Instagram. You know, he will. Yeah, yeah. He seems like a guy that would take a long board around town. Yes, for sure. OK, so that's Anthony Davis trade. Sorry to the Raptors.

You basically got cucked out of all your championship talk. I also think it's a bad thing to to win a title and then have your parade beyond the weekend because people kind of forget. Oh, yeah. It's all the best. Oh, I know the blues, though. Oh, yeah, yeah, I saw Brett Hall was the drunkest man in America. But you need to have your parade beyond like a Thursday or Friday.

So all the like Sports Center just covers it. ESPN covers it from like start to finish. And everyone's sitting in their cube, hating their life, watches every moment and like, Oh, this is cool. It loses some of the coolness when you see a guy like Brett Hall be extremely drunk, but it's a Saturday. Like, I want that to be on a weekday at like 11 a.m. I don't want that shit to be like, OK,

this is a normal hour for somebody to be drunk at. Yes. OK, before we get to who's back real quick, if you want to watch the Laila Ali interview, barstoolgold.com slash PMT, she was great. Put her in a pretzel and not physically because she was friends. Mentor shit out of a mental barstoolgold.com slash PMT. OK, Hank, why don't you start? Who's back? My who's I have a few who's back.

The good. My first one is singing boxers. Yeah. So a few weeks ago, the listeners of this show were introduced to Manny Pacquiao's beautiful singing voice. Yeah, I did some karaoke with you guys. And then on Saturday night, Tyson Fury had a second round knockout. And after the fight, he belted out a perfect rendition to Aerosmith. I don't want to miss a thing. It was so awkward.

He sung it for like two, two and a half minutes. Wait, the whole the whole thing. Everyone thought it was going to be about like maybe three lines and he just kept on going. He loves the song, man. He loves the song. Also, both those guys hate gay people a lot. Oh, really? Yeah, they're both really not good. I just want to see another fury wilder fight. Yeah.

Yeah, that would be that would be great. Yeah, fury doing the matrix thing. You see that? Yeah, that was a clip. Yeah. He's yeah, that was weird, though. That was pretty awkward with him. Just like, hey, man, just fucking why are you still singing? This is you're doing the whole song. It's like you guys singing take on. Oh, shit.

We're doing the live Tyler with the fucking the little animal animal cracker. Ben Affleck puts it on her. She in the animal cracker climbs a mountain. That's her tits. By the way, by the way, that was a really hot. Don't try that scene at home because it doesn't work as well in real life. If you're not Ben Affleck about to go save the world from an asteroid. Yes. Otherwise, the girls just like, why are you getting crumbs all over my tits? Yeah. Again, my other who's back.

I had a couple other was we talked about LaVar. My other who's back the week is Spike Ball. Yes. So I was on TV. I notice I forgot who, but some big journalists like put up a video of it, got like 350,000 views. That's a pretty good sign of, you know, increased potential viewership. It's a very fun sport to play. Apparently, people play it indoors, which is that's weird.

I watched the whole thing. Pure. It was fucking ridiculous. Played outdoors. It's a beach sport. It was ridiculous. They were doing the lingo, the flango. Oh, is you the lobster trap? Dude, it was it was so ridiculous. And then and I realized that this hurts the case for the cross

because it was literally opposite of the PLL. I still like you, Paul Rable. I said, I might even love you, but Spike Ball, I could not keep my eyes off it. And then it finished. Not lacrosse's fault. You know, who's worst, worst dude ever? The old SPP was still a bit. The worst dude ever, the guy who responded said, dude, this result happened two months ago.

Thanks. Oh, it's a replay. Yeah, thanks. I didn't I wasn't fucking checking up on my spike ball. You ruin the majesty of the finals. Yeah. God damn it. That now that you just ruined it for me. Now, now you're the worst person in the world for that. That's fine. I am breaking news. Georgia won two months ago.

Oh, God damn it. Socked. Is it like who? Who the fuck cares? That's why I've been getting my ass kicked in my spike ball fantasy league is because I didn't know that the results are two months old. Imagine being that guy, though, who actually knows what the results are and then goes online and is like, hey, idiot, this happened two months like he turned it on and was excited.

He was like, let's go. Spike Ball. And I was like, oh, I've seen this before. Yeah. Fuck. Yeah. No, he no, he probably was there. He was probably one of the 50 people that were going absolute bananas for for Georgia to win. It was the home court was insane. Like they had a big time edge. Toughest time to win.

And yeah, tough as Jim by far. So shout out, Georgia. I know you didn't make the playoff, but you won the spike ball championship. Anything else? I know that's it. That's it. OK. OK. My who's back of the week is U.S. Rugby. U.S. Rugby is back. The women won first place in the tournament this weekend.

So they finished the season. You guessed it. Second. Nice. And they also were the only team to make the finals. The only team to make the semifinals in every tournament this year. Oh, wow. So second place. U.S. Women's Rugby Sevens. Congratulations. U.S. Rugby is back. Also, my who's back of the week is O.J.

Yes. O.J. is back. And this time he's back on Twitter, just making videos, talking about what he's going to talk about using his Twitter account. He basically is doing what we want Jill to do. Yeah, he's learning how to joke. He's learning how to use Twitter, except all that he's saying is just when I start to use Twitter, I'm going to go after. I'm going to get even with a lot of people that have been saying some bad shit.

That's what you always want to hear from O.J. Can I also, you know, what sucks like the O.J. the cottage industry that will come off of O.J. on Twitter of people being like, fuck O.J. And like, dude, we know he's like we all agree. Yeah, it sucks like getting the retweets. And then the other people who are trolling O.J. Like, O.J. is becoming his own Twitter cottage industry.

And I'm not, I don't care for it. It sucks that the Krasnstein brothers have already been banned from Twitter because they would have some fire replies. Yeah, I told him to suck my dick the other night, but I just wanted to get that off my chest. He just wanted to get the reasons to do it one time and just tell O.J. Hey, O.J., when else am I going to have the opportunity to tell Orenthal James Simpson to wrap his lips around my dick and suck it? Did you actually fake O.J. accounts are also back to fake O.J. accounts?

But but you know what I mean, PFT, like there's going to be a lot of people O.J. Think it will also people who think that they're like a spicy take. Yeah, to be like, I don't like double murder. I don't like you, O.J. Yeah, yeah, sir. Hey, pat me on the back. I'm not for double murder, sir. Sir, resign the isotoners, sir. Oh, breaking news. O.J. just tweeted again. Let's see.

Oh, so you not only follow him, but you have no, no, so you actually are the cottage. No, no, it just came across the most. No, it just came across my side. This literally just happened. I saw Morty Murch replied to him. Oh, OK. Yeah, we don't need to. O.J. during NFL Sunday is going to suck. Yeah, he sucks already. Here's a good joke about O.J. Hey, O.J.

Why wasn't your first tweet slash, slash, slash, backslash, slash, backslash? Nice. You should treat that. I should. I'm not going to retweets. I'm not. I'm not. Listen, I'm not part of the cottage industry. I'm not going to be trading in O.J. retweets because then there's blood in my hands. There's there's blood on my fingers. There's going to be a lot of O.J. tweets and O.J.

reply tweets and it's it's just going to fucking it just makes something that's already kind of sucking even worse. My last who's back of the week is punk. So we just announced a show we're playing out in Long Island. In we're playing in Long Island. On it will be in Long Island. Attention, Long Island, I'm going to be on side you. Yeah. And that is in late July.

You have to dig a hole. Mocay's and then get in the hole. And I might. What do you know what? I might do that. Yeah. That's what I'm planning on doing. Hank, that's what you do when you go to Long Island. So it's going to be on July or on the Milky Way Galaxy. We're part of it. You're in it.

Yeah, you're inside of it. Right. Yeah, we're part of it. Then by then you're also in Long Island. No, Long Island is in the Milky Way Galaxy. Counterpoint. Are we in Earth? Are we on Earth? We're in it. We're in there. Yeah, we're in it.

We're all in it together when it comes to Long Island. So July 27th at Mocay's. Tickets on sale now. I think there are still a few available. It's going to be a hell of a show. Hey, everyone, when you think about replying to OJ or telling us how you don't believe double murder is good, just debate in or on Long Island instead.

That's way more useful. Anti-double murder podcast. Yes, there it is. Now we don't have to talk about him anymore. All right, my who's back of the week is Aaron Rodgers being surly to his coaches. So what did it take? What's it been like, five months?

Five months? The mat floor has been way less than that. I'm going to just do mat floor, by the way. I'm going to get a little bit shorter there. Matt, Matt Floor, who is injured, who's going around on a golf cart, poor guy. He's got Aaron Rodgers already saying that I don't think you want me to turn it off 11 years,

turn off 11 years. He's talking about reads at the line of scrimmage. Audibles. He says there's stuff that not many people in the league can do at the line. That's not a humble brag. That's just a fact.

Well, that's not a humble brag because that's just a brag. First of all, there's not what a humble brag is being like, I'm awesome at football. But he's not a humble brag. Yeah, he said it's not a humble brag. Right. He was right. Yeah, it's just a brag.

So spot the line. It's just a brag. You don't know what humble brag is. But yeah, this is going to be fun because Aaron Rodgers also seems to be already seems to be not working with Matt before. Trouble and Matt Floor. Matt Floor.

Matt Diff Floor. Matt Floor. Yeah, no, it's not a great start for Aaron to just go ahead and say this. And training camp hasn't even started yet. But you know what? You got to you got to play in your flag in the ground sometimes in these relationships.

Maybe that's what happened. It listen with Aaron Rodgers and McCarthy. He was too nice of a guy. Yeah, and when you're too nice of a guy, you get walked over all the time. So now it's guess what? Aaron's going to stand up for him so finally and say what he thinks about his coaches.

I'm just so happy because like the the part of me that knows that Aaron Rodgers is going to see everything that happened. Aaron Rodgers bad teammate. He's to blame for all this stuff that went down last year in Green Bay. I thought we were going to get like the ultimate fuck everyone in the NFL.

I'm going to be MVP Aaron Rodgers and be like, I'm going to buy into whatever Matt Floor says. I'm going to be the best soldier, the best teammate and just like rip to shreds all the NFL. Turns out he's probably just going to be a dick still. Well, I mean, if your coach is in a golf cart on the sidelines, this almost seems like he's taking advantage of his coach. Yeah, yeah.

The fact that he's hurt. He's he is just he's on the I L. Yeah, as they say in MLB. Yeah, not the DL. No, the I L. No, and we'll get that out or we could have a longer conversation. Every time I see I L. I just think someone has diarrhea. Just ill. Yeah.

Yeah. And test what's going on. They're on the intestinal list. It's so weird that they did that, whatever. OK, so yeah, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Floor, not off to the best start. And I'm not I'm not making like a mountain out of a mohail. I think Aaron Rodgers hates Matt Floor. You think so. Despises him.

I think Aaron Rodgers might have torn his Achilles. Do you think that Aaron Rodgers is prejudiced against people with disabilities? Oh, wow. And that's why he's going after Matt Floor right now. And Mike McCarthy. And yeah, for this clinically fat. Yeah, his BMI.

By the BMI, I'm also sometimes I'm also obese, so I can say that. Face got too red. Uh-huh. His eyes were too close together. Yes, he gets he yells at high school basketball games, can't control his temper. Yeah, he had too much steam that would come out of his mouth when he would scream. OK, let's get to our interviews. First up, we're going to have Joe Buck. It looked like he was always wearing a smock like the the jackets that he would wear

would just go like straight down from his belly down to his knees. Yeah, it's the Detroit Big Cat look. So we're going to do Joe Buck first. Joe Buck was nice enough to call in basically walking off the course of Pebble Beach. So he's a busy man. He was working all weekend and he calls in to talk to us two idiots. It sounds fine. There's a little bit of a glitch here and there.

That's how you always want to start out. But hey, listen, it sounds like it's going to sound fine. It does. It does. All business fine as a fuck. That's all I'm going to say. He was on vacation all week and we still are in a studio with with the sound. We can hear every ambulance. There are no windows.

The phones don't work. We're basically in a tent. Yeah. So if you have any anger, there's a pig swimming by down 7th Avenue earlier. If you have any anger to Joe Buck's perfectly sounding fine interference on the show, Tweet it all business Pete, let him know how fine it is. Yeah, that's it's totally fine. OK, here he is. Joe Buck will put in the Trojan ad. That interview was brought to you by Trojan condoms.

That's right. We're here to talk sex. It's fucking awesome. You do it. We do it. We all do it. I'm even pretty good at it. I've been told I said a personal best the other night, five whole minutes. That was actually a line from the ad read. It was not five minutes.

I'd never last five minutes. It's a big sexy world out there and we want all of you to live it to the fullest by sowing your wild seeds because what's life without a little bit of boning, boinking, getting it on, doing the hanky panky, playing 20 toes, knocking boots, fucking doing the pants off, dance off or just some good old fashioned making love. When you're out there doing that dance between the sheets, we want you to be safe. And there is only one brand that we here at Barstool trust for that. And it's Trojan condoms.

It's not just us. They are the number one most trusted brand in America. Folks, I only use Trojans. I got my special. I walked to the counter at the bodega. I say, give me that pack of the blues over there. I'm talking condoms because I'm getting laid, my man. My hands really sore from getting high five so much from that guy.

There is no other brand out there that we would allow anywhere near sexual parts or trust like we do besides Trojan condoms. So have fun, stay safe, make sure you grab yourself some Trojan brand condoms. OK, we now welcome on the man you listen to all weekend. It is Joe Buck calling us from Pebble Beach. He's the nicest man in the world because he called us like five minutes after the tournament ended. So let's start with Gary Woodland.

Do you I have a theory that whatever the best story possible on Father's Day to happen will happen? And that's why Gary Woodland won. Yeah, it's kind of funny the way that whole thing worked out, you know, when you consider that he's a guy that. It has been through what he's been through personally, you know, his wife, Gabby, going through a miscarriage and then having a son, Jackson, who was born premature, but doing great and has come out on tour

and been on the 18th green when he's wanted. Now she's pregnant again with twin girls. It's a great story. I can only tell you and I'm not one for name dropping at least six days a week, usually five or five days of the week I name drop. But I had so many texts from guys that I know from baseball, a couple guys that I know from football that know Gary Woodland and were rooting so hard for the guy.

He's just a really, really good guy. Kepke was great, obviously, but Woodland just played the best of anybody in the week and he won, so good for him. Yeah, it was a good story to watch. Did you get the sense that the fans were also pulling for him or were they more aligned with Kepke going down the stretch? Yeah, no, I felt like I think the fans here, you know, it was not easy. I'm still here, obviously a couple and it's not easy getting down here

into the area where the actual tournament took place. I mean, the security is off the charts. It's like literally doing Super Bowl security every day. And if you bothered to come in here, I think you were a real golf fan. And the galleries were massive. And there was a real groundswell, I think, for a guy who hadn't won. He's 35. And as we said, it's a great story.

It would have been cool to see Brooks Kepke if it wasn't Gary. But as Brooks said, after word, Gary played the best and nobody was going to beat him today. And that's what these major championships are all about. I just want to see it. So we're huge fans of the course in the US Open. We love when the course kicks the shit out of people and like in polter cries about and all that stuff.

Were you as disappointed in the courses we were this week? No, I see shitty golf plenty in my life. Friends of mine, hacking it around. No, I like seeing these guys play well. And I realize I'm in the minority. A lot of my friends are like, oh, I love seeing these guys, you know, pre-putting and the greens are lightning and they can't hold greens. And the rough is high and the fairways are skinny.

And I don't know, I just like seeing the best play great. And I thought of I thought it was a fair test. I don't think it has to be ridiculous to have to have the feeling that you just saw a hell of a test in the US Open. It got progressively harder every day, but there was just nothing they could do. Short of building a dome over this place. They had a record setting May for rainfall. The place was crazy lush.

The fairways were holding the greens were receptive and there was no wind. And if there's no wind to Pebble Beach at a 7100 yard golf course, they're going to eat it alive. And for the most part, these guys ate it alive. But if you look back to Tiger Woods victory back in, was it 2000 or 2000? Right at Pebble Beach 2000. Is it fair to say that the course has regressed? No, I think that the conditions regressed.

And there's just nothing you can control at this time of year. And we ran pieces from 72 and Nicholas won. And, you know, it almost looked like a British open when Tom Watson shipped in at 82. And then when you go to the highlights of 2000, you know, is anything like this like to say that the greens look like potato chips. They were they were not green. They were multicolored. They were hard.

The place was just baked out. And for us to be here in the middle of June and to have it just be green everywhere. I don't make anybody expect that, but there was just no way to avoid it. So if that's the case, you've got small greens. The U.S. is tired of hearing about, you know, guys complain about the setup. There was no core setup complaint. Everybody was praising how great the place was condition wise.

For us, let me tell you, it was like a dream to not have to deal with controversy and wrong girlfriend's names and everything else that's gone with these championships. So I love covering these things, but every year it's just like something. And this year it was just really good golf. You invited Jim Nantz onto the set. That was a wild move by you. That'd be like us inviting Joe Rogan to come host the podcast with us.

Are you a little nervous? It's like he's just going to slide over and like, Joe, go go grab a beer or something because I got this. Yeah, I was actually going to joke like, Hey, I'm just going to go grab a coffee and sit around the side, rather listen to him do golf than listen to myself do golf. But, you know, that being said, for him to accept, I thought was cool for CBS to let him come on.

And that was kind of the condition that the condition was that it was going to be 10 minutes and that said, really they wanted five minutes. And had that stipulation not been there, I would have demanded that he stay and call golf with a singer. And I jump in every once in a while or read a promo here or there. But for the most part, I'd rather just hear him call the US Open. I think he's the best to set it on the air. I believe it.

Those other guys are good friends of mine, Hicks and Sirico and what have you. But I think he's the best to ever call golf on TV in my lifetime. And or at least in my adulthood. And I wanted to hear him do golf at Table Beach. Of course, he knows probably better than any broadcaster ever. Yeah. And he's got he's got that great golf voice that just puts you to sleep. He has, I think the best nap voice in America out of Indian Outser.

Absolutely. If he was, if his voice was on my alarm clock, I'd never get up. Yeah. Because he just has that soothing. And he's very smart and he remembers everything. And he knows the history of the game and he's not searching for stuff. And I find myself a lot of the times ripping and searching for different things. And and it's just top of mind for him.

I he's great with names. I'm obviously not. Genesis jokes aside, I'm always, you know, scrambling for somebody's name. And it's just it's like, you know, second nature for him. And so that really serves him. I think personally better in golf than any other sport. When you can have that kind of top of mind recall, that's what makes him great. And he's a wordsmith.

So good for him. I love listening to him. I'd rather fall asleep to him calling golf while I lay on the couch than anybody else. All right, Joe, I know you got to go and I appreciate you calling in. I was going to to tell you all the tweets that said Joe Bucks sucks, but I'm not going to do that because I just Twitter searched it and it was way too many. So I'm not going to do that. Yeah, no, it's it's just that never gets fucking old.

I also I also, Joe, we're running out of time. Let me tell you, yeah, Twitter geniuses just do nothing but do nothing but inspire. And all those guys are saying that I would love to see them step in and do 10 minutes. Put a journey on. Put a journey. I like, Joe, I also like, listen, I know you said you only had 10 minutes in like, it's unbelievable that you you called in right after literally right after it ended.

So we're going to let you go. I really wanted to congratulate you and talk about the St. Louis Blues, but we don't have enough time. So appreciate you calling in. That's it's too bad. I can't congratulate you. OK, my blues, my blues one. I'm not John Hamm, sadly, I'm not in the NBC promos,

but I've been a season ticket holder my whole life and well, my adult life. And that was one of the biggest thrills I've ever had as a fan. So it's too bad. We can't talk about it. Too bad. We can't discuss it. Yeah. Too bad. We can't talk about it. Yeah. No. Well, too bad.

I'm going to keep going. You just cut me off. So Bennington came up and that's where the season really. This guy says obligatory Joe Buck sucks tweet. This guy actually tagged your boss, Fox Sports at Fox Sports One at Golf on Fox, Joe Buck. So I like this guy. He said, Joe, Joe Buck is trending, but I just want everyone to know it's because he sucks.

Oh, man, that was so good. Joe Buck sucks at his job. He is such a homer. I'd rather listen to nails and a chalkboard than this. Who are you a homer for? Can you be a homer for a golfer? Golf course. All right, Joe. Thank you so much.

Really do appreciate it. Very nice of you to let us grab you for 10 minutes. Have fun. Hopefully see you soon. It's been too long. It has been. Yeah. And I had many people, I swear to you. I walked from my room down to the to the booth all week long. And I had usually at least one a day.

Hey, I love your imparting my take. So there we go. So here we are doing it again. That's how we peer pressure you into continuing to come back on the show. Yeah. There's some people who like you out there. He sent those people out. It worked. Yeah, exactly.

They're plants. They're plants. All right, Joe, we'll talk to you soon, man. All right, guys. See you. Joe Bucks interview was brought to you by our friends at Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew. As at Mountain Dew, we say here's to the doers who do it big, then do it bigger. Grab yourself an ice cold Mountain Dew today. Do the do. Listen, Caleb, what? What? Hey, dude, there was.

All right, I'm going to go off script here for Mountain Dew. This is you can. We'll bill you later. When we found out that we were doing ads with Mountain Dew, I've never seen anyone happier than Hank. Hank drinks Mountain Dew all the time. I do, too. I love the do. I'm a doer, but but Hank might be the number one doer in the world. I agree. Facts. It's the best.

What's your favorite flavor to do? Who? That's a tough one. I original. I like original, but no. No, I never big code. Live wire. Why do you not do live is the absolute goat? Yeah. Oh, it's called Bahab last second. But, you know, only available. Yeah, it's one of those things that you love it so much.

It's like the McRib. When it's there, you have to get it. Have to get it. If you're at Taco Bell, what are you doing? That's how I feel about live wires like it's not available in every single convenience store. It's only available in sums whenever I see it. Got to get it. Yeah. All right. So go get your Mountain Dew now. Be a doer with us.

Also, Caleb was out at the Dew Tour last week. So we're all big Mountain Dew guys. We're going to be doing a lot of Mountain Dewing. And I'm excited to do do the do do the do with Mountain Dew. All right. Here she is. Laila Ali and now for something completely different. OK, we now welcome on the legend undefeated boxer champion. Laila Ali, she's all over the place

and she's doing this great thing with undeniably dairy. Let's talk about that first. Feeding America. So I was reading up about it. It's a fantastic program because it's basically kids who aren't able to get three square meals a day, especially in the summertime when they're not at school. You're helping that out and you're making sure that kids, you know, growing kids get the meals that they need.

Well, one in six kids in the U.S. faces hunger. OK. And in the summer months, those numbers rise because kids don't have access to nutritious school lunches. So these are kids that go to school and get their best meal at school. Obviously, no school, no great meal. So Feeding America does amazing work in general, just helping families who need to get fed, get fed. So we're asking people to go to give a gallon, giveagallon.com.

OK. So that we can raise more money for the food banks that are, you know, making sure that kids and families get healthy meals. Yeah, I like it. That's fantastic. You can probably tell by looking at us, we don't miss many meals. No cells. But it's important that we help the people that do. So, yeah, what was that web address again? Giveagallon.com.

I've been working with Feeding America for over 10 years. And, you know, I'm very passionate about health and wellness. And then, of course, ending childhood hunger. So I've just been really happy to partner with them and undeniably dairy to make sure that kids get nutritious meals, including milk. OK. Before we got started here, before the cameras were rolling, you kind of you warned us ahead of time.

You're like, hey, I might punch you in the face. Actually, let's back up. You warned me that you guys are silly. Well, no, we are silly. I say some things that might cause you to get punched in the face. And I said, sure, I'll punch you in the face. I got a waiver for you. I said, please do.

I know we haven't signed those waivers yet, though. To be knocked out by an Ali. That would definitely work. I believe I said we're a couple of assholes. And then you said, well, that's fine. I can handle my business if I have to. Exactly. That's how I went. But you also said that it takes a lot to set you off.

It does. So what buttons should we not press or press, depending on if we want to get punched? I think that as long as people don't disrespect me, I'm OK. But in the end of the day, I'm not going to punch anybody. I'm a professional fighter. It's like, I only fight professionals. I'm not a fighter.

Hands are weapons. They are. Yeah. Yeah. Did you have to register your hands? I did not. OK. Is that a real thing that happens, or is that just movies?

I don't know. I really don't know, to be honest with you. You know what? I'm going to register my hands and see if they tell me I can. I know that my insurance costs more. Really? Yeah, definitely. So you haven't boxed, you're retired.

13 years, yeah. Yeah, you're retired. So do you miss it at all? Of course. I absolutely love it. I think any athlete that did something they loved, and a certain point you stop, you can't do it forever, you miss it.

But I also love what I'm doing now, so. OK. But I'll always be an athlete. I still get a bag. I still stay in shape. I can still go three, four rounds, always, at any time. You should fight in rough and rowdy. We have a fighting league ourselves.

It's three one-minute rounds. Really? Can you fight in that? No. Oh, OK. But you want me to. I see the national anthem. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, but so I wanted to ask you a question about women in sports. And like you, your boxing career was, I feel like, very early on for women, especially in combat sports. And is it crazy to watch now how far that's coming? I mean, some of these like MMA UFC cards, the headliners are women. And it's like, you know, when you started,

I think there was a lot of people that were uneasy with two women fighting in a boxing ring. A lot of people think that I was one of the first female fighters in boxing, and I wasn't. There were so many before me, it just didn't get the exposure that the sport has now. And it has come a long way, especially with the UFC. I mean, as a whole, the UFC and MMA has grown.

It wasn't as big when I was boxing. But there are more professional female fighters. And I think that women have always been very exciting to watch. I know in women's boxing, we have two-minute rounds opposed to three. And you don't have as much time to get the job done. Women come in there and just make it happen. So people would really appreciate that.

And in the UFC, I see the women are really feisty and strong as well. So I think that it doesn't surprise me when I see women, because I know what we're capable of. But I'm glad that it's been more accepted, and women are having more opportunities. Right. And when you were first getting started,

you got started a little bit late, at least according to what I read, like about 17, 18. That's late for a boxer. Some started 8, 9, 12. Yeah. So you were a little late in life entering the ring for the first time. What was it?

I know a lot of fighters, they start fighting. They have a chip on their shoulder. They have aggression, that sort of thing. But you were late getting into the ring for the first time. What was the chip on your shoulder that made you want to get into the ring and fight for the first time? I saw women's boxing for the first time on television

when I was 17 years old. I saw Christy Martin. Are you familiar with her? No. OK. So Christy Martin was one of the first female fighters to get promoted on a major undercard. She was on Mike Tyson's undercard.

Don King was promoting. So I saw women's boxing for the first time, along with many other people. I did not know the women box. I didn't know there was a sport available to me. So as soon as I saw it, I wanted to do it automatically. And it took me about a year of contemplation. Because at the time, I had my own nail salon.

Always been very ambitious. Always been an entrepreneur. I had a nail salon by the time I was 18. And I was in college. I was living on my own. And I saw women's boxing. I was like, I want to do that. But then, of course, the fear and the doubts

set in of just kind of living a public life and just was my dad going to think, was everyone going to think, can I do this? I was never even an athlete. I never participated in sports. Really? I was about 30 pounds overweight. And it took me a year.

And I finally said, you know what? I'm just going to go with my heart and just do it. And that's when I started. What did your dad say when he said, I'm going to be a boxer too? So I started training kind of in secrecy. Because I really wanted to see if I had what it took. Because if it wasn't going to come natural to me,

if I wasn't going to be good at it, I wasn't going to do it. Smart. So I understood what I was getting into. So once six months into it, I got around to my dad. He comes in town. And he's like, I hear your boxing. And I'm like, yeah, I am dad. And he's basically tried to talk me out of it.

And directly he says, you know, well, what are you going to do? I mean, the whole world is going to be watching you and judging you. What if you get in the ring and you get knocked down? And I was like, well, I'm going to get back up. Just like you did. And then he's just got more and more frustrated. It was just like, what are you going to do if you get knocked out?

And I was like, well, that's just not going to happen. But if it does, I'm going to ask for a rematch. And then he just basically said, don't do it. It's not for women. It's not for you. It's too hard. It's a man's sport. And I said, well, dad, you know what?

I understand how you feel. I respect how you feel. So two questions about that. One is, do you think there was a part of him that didn't want you to do it because of his name and his legacy? And it's like, if you go out and get, you know, get knocked down, it looks bad on his name. Do you think there was any of that?

I think, well, I don't have to think I know now that because, I mean, obviously I'm grown. We've had conversations about it and I see things differently. But my father was, first of all, did not believe that women should be boxing. Right. My father's Muslim. I'm not. He was a little bit of a male chauvinist in a way.

Just the fact of wearing a sports bra and shorts in the ring. It's like getting the ring and be bouncing around the ring. One, two, women don't need to be doing it. Three, I'm his youngest baby girl out of all his kids. He didn't want me to get hurt. And think of all the blood, sweat, and tears he went through through his career. All of the history of why people love him and, you know, giving up his belts. All of that.

And now I'm saying I want to go to a dirty, grimy gym and go fight and spar with men. We don't want that. And of course, he did not want to get embarrassed also. Yes. That had something to do with it. So he, but he came back. Yeah. Tell you this after I won my titles, I was doing well and he came back and he

apologized that I'm sorry I was wrong. You can fight women can't fight. And I love you. Then he started trying to teach me how to jab. And I was like, you're a little late. Yeah, exactly. I got my belts already. I know I'm jabbing.

You wanted to take credit for that after the fact. He was like, see, I, well, now he's like, you're like that boy I never, never had like boxing. You mentioned something there where you're, you said you're, you're not Muslim. And he was, you basically stood up to him when you were a kid saying you didn't want to be religious. How'd you know that? I read about it and so, but this is now like, so twice the boxing in

then the religion where you stood up to Muhammad Ali and correct me if I'm wrong, I think your dad probably is a pretty sure headed guy who, who knew exactly what he wanted. It wasn't going to be told what to do if you look at any of his history. So how did you change his mind twice? Not once, but twice on pretty big things, boxing and religion, two things that are the most important to I got something special that came from my daddy. Yeah.

So the thing is, is that I'm just a lot like him. So he had to respect it and he does respect me and my dad and I had probably three big conversations in life and one of them was not being Muslim. I remember when I turned 18 and moved out the house and moved in with my boyfriend and tried to judge me for that. And I said, hold up, wait a minute, we can talk about some things you've done. Right. He says you're right.

You know, I put him, I had to put him in this place then and then with boxing, you know, when he told me it's something I couldn't do. And I just, I do a lot of speaking now and that's one of the things I speak about Muhammad Ali telling me not to do something. It's not for you. If I would have listened to him, you know what I mean? I would have never went and did what I wanted to do. And then he came back and got his mind right and was like, I was wrong.

So that's why I can't listen to others just because he wasn't where he needed to be in his mind. It didn't stop me from doing what I needed to do. And my father and I have always had a tremendous amount of respect for one another, but yeah, I'm just like him. Right. That's why I never just said originally don't do it because he was like, tried to talk me out of it indirectly.

So the toughest match he ever had was you. Well, I wouldn't say that. I definitely want to beat him twice. I'll tell you what, I know I'm getting payback on my daughter, Sidney, because she's doing me the exact same way right now. I'm like that girl got me on the ropes every day. So my next question is going to be, what if she wants to fight? I would not like my daughter to fight.

Oh, it's going to happen then. Yeah, so I would not like my, neither, but I know I will never tell my kids not to, I am not encouraging them to, but at the same time, I will support them whatever they want to do, you know, in life because you have to. They're going to want to do it anyway. So after you start boxing, you go through a few fights. You do pretty well to get started. Was there ever a point where you were like a little doubtful about whether

or not this was going to be your career after a couple of fights where you're like, you know what, this is what I was meant to do. I was always a fighter. I just wasn't fighting professionally. So I knew that I had it in me. I knew I had the heart of a fighter is just that, you know, the skill and everything that it takes because I was never an athlete. I never had to do that training regimen.

So once I, that's, I'm a very realistic person. I know first you have to want to do something. You have to see if you can be good at it. And if you're going to really want to do the work that it takes, everybody wants, wants, wants, but are you going to do the work that it's going to take? So I went to the gym and like I said, I was training for about six months and I fell in love with it. I was like, I was going to school.

I was going to work in the gym at nine o'clock at night and I looked forward to it. So I knew right away that is what I wanted to do. Yeah. The first time you get punched in the face, that's how you know, did it feel good? That's how you know that I've seen so many people come into the gym saying they want to be a fighter and they're like, okay, glove it up and this, you're either going to turn your back, like I want to get out of here or you're going to get mad and want to knock the heck out of somebody.

And I was that person that wanted to get mad, but I get, I had been hit before. I told you, I was a fighter outside of the ring. Yeah. What, what was it like growing up with your dad? I mean, your dad was obviously, he's the goat and he's probably the biggest legend in all of sports, which is incredible to say, but it probably is the truth. Probably. I mean, he, I know you're, you're, you're a sports guy.

It's okay, right. No, he is. It's incredible to even declare one person that way. And the fact that you're like, yeah, actually, it's probably even to be in the running, it's incredible. Right. So like, was it, I mean, it had to be a little bit of a mind fuck to grow up with. Oh, we get to cuss.

Oh, I'm just playing. I'm just playing. Yeah. Motherfucker. Oh, we're doing like that. Yeah. Yeah. I am here representing other people.

Okay. Yeah. I'm going to be in my behavior. We're going to feed some fucking kids. Yeah. Yeah. But that's got to be a mind fuck to like grow up in a house with, you know, a living legend. It's the only life I know, but I will tell you that, um, you know,

we had Michael Jackson and Prince and Stevie Wonder coming to the house. All fans of Muhammad Ali and my father was such an amazing example of someone that just was like at the top, but such a kind, giving, compassionate person. He never looked down on anybody. He was never tacky, you know, he never flaunted his money in anyone's face. He was just a, he just had a lot of character in class. And that's one thing that I respect in people. And, um, you know, it didn't matter who he was around.

He was always the same guy. And that's just what I strive to be. So that's how I remember my father, you know, and that's what gives me the pride and knowing like there's just never going to be another Muhammad Ali. Right. I don't care how good you get in the ring or whatever sport it is that you do. Um, this is kind of a weird question, but the Louisville airports named after him. Amazing.

Doesn't that kind of suck though? Because like I always thought when you get an airport sucked to go to like, doesn't that suck to be named after an airport? Then airport named after you. Yeah. Like you have to go to an airport. It's like, oh, I gotta travel. I gotta go through TSA and then your mother fucking the airport.

I don't agree with you. I don't know who I don't know who LaGuardia is, but I hate him. I hate him because I hate traveling there. It's always like traffic to get out there. I think it's too deep into a big line. I'm just saying like 50 years from now, people won't, you know, they were, they're like Muhammad Ali. Oh, that's the airport.

They should name like a water park after a water park. I'm sure there's a whole lot more to come. Yeah. Okay. I can't, but you know, I couldn't waste my energy worried about that kind of thing. I would tell you one thing. I had nothing to do with that. Okay.

I would literally waste all my energy. Name something better after I see, I see. Yeah, it always bothered me every time I go to the airport. I'm like, like JFK, JFK is so annoying to go through. Have you been that way since you were a kid? What? Thinking about airports? Just like about things, just like letting things like, you know, yeah, I mean, we kind

of made a career out of letting small things bother us at the point that we get mad at. Yeah, we make mountains out of more things. I have no control over. Yeah. That's what you do have a different role over this. I don't know. You can be like, my dad hated airports, but he did know, but you could for the, but it doesn't bother me.

But I'm saying we're talking about this way too long. Listen, my dad was he hated TSA. He thought it was absolute bullshit that he had to pay six dollars for a bottle of water when he went to the airport. He doesn't want to be named after an airport. Oh, Lord, Lord Jesus. I'm just right. I'm just making a lot of sense.

Yeah, a lot of sense. I heard a story that you saved Hulk Hogan's life. Is that true? That is true. You know, because and the reason why I know it's true. Thank you. Do you are your partial owner of Gokrem Media? No, I am not.

You know, and I feel like I need to, I deserve something, a check or something. I'm just playing. No, you know, I found out the same way everyone else found out. He said something in an interview. He never had called me and told me because we hosted American Gladiators together and then he told this story. And then people called me and was like, I heard you. Can you come on and talk about how you say, I was like, what are you talking about?

And I was like, wow, I wish you would have called me and told me that. But apparently he was going through something and something big. And I called him and had a conversation, something I said to him. You know, it was it was divine intervention. So it was a circumstance of you just happened to call him at a time when he was going through some bad happen to call him. And I said some words that helped him. I invited him to I think my church at the time and he started going there.

And it was what he needed at the time. So like I said, I don't feel like I can take credit for it. But that's how he felt about it. And I just feel like it was divine intervention. It wasn't like I was just like, Hey, man, what time are you going to be work tomorrow? We must have had some sort of a conversation that made him change his mind. So he says.

That's a lesson for everybody. Yeah, no matter what interaction you're having, you might be saving somebody's life. I might have saved several lives today. Yeah, that's true. I'm going to take credit for your life. I don't think I don't think I saved your life right now. Yeah, yeah. I would spend like, Hey, there's so many Hoka maniacs out there.

They're rooting for you. Yeah, vitamins. I can't keep up with you guys right now. So here's the thing. I can't keep up with that. I'm sorry. I got nothing for you. I'm not even going to try to have a comeback.

You know, guys, you might have been starting to get sick and now you're laughing and we just cured it. Wait, I might have come here. I could have crossed the street going somewhere else. We got hit by a car. I mean, saved your life. Hold on. Do you see what just happened?

We saved your life. No. We just beat the woman that beat Muhammad Ali. We're the champ. If you want to see it that way, we are the champ. If you see if that was your goal to make me say something like that, then you won. Your father mentally couldn't handle you. You mentally can't handle us.

We are the champ. I got to let some people win at some things. And I'm winning at everything else. Everything. So what's next for you? Like what's the next part of your career? Well, I released a cookbook. It's the life I've been cooking since I was nine years old.

So my cookbook came out in 2018. I just, a couple of days ago, released my organic spice blends, which I'm super excited about. People can go to shop.laylali.com to check them out. I have a nutrition line. So I'm really into encouraging people to be the best they can absolutely be and make healthy lifestyle choices through the food that they eat. That's why I'm working with Feeding America and Undeniably Dairy.

I truly believe that we can change the world through the food that we eat. Because food is killing a lot of people too. In terms of heart disease and obesity and diabetes and chronic illness. So, you know, I try to teach people that they can take control of your health. I like the way you're going at it too, because a lot of times healthy food just doesn't taste very good. But you've got a spice line. So you're like, hey, you can eat all this stuff that tastes bad

if you dump enough of my good tasting product. If you want to see it that way, because I know you see things a special kind of way, guys. Different way, yeah, that's a nice way to put it. It makes shit taste good. It can do that. It's that good that it can make shit taste good. What if if you invite us over for dinner,

which I assume you will at some point, what is like the what's the number one La La Lee meal that you like to cook? Well, you always have to know who you're having over for dinner. I like all foods. Oh, you do? Okay. No, but I'm just saying what they like. Everything.

Because, you know, you do? Okay. So what would I make for you if I knew you liked everything? I probably would make my oven fried chicken wings. Yep. Because those are a killer. And then I have different dipping sauces. Yep.

I like to make fresh salads, but I have fresh salad dressing. No, no, no, no, hold up. You got to have some green. Because I am who I am. Like tuna salad. I am who I have. You said anything. That's okay.

But I'm going to put some on your plate. Okay. Okay. And you're going to be a nice guest and take a couple bites. You're going to be like, that's the best salad I ever had in the world. So what do you like? What do you like? Do you like pasta?

No, the wings were sold on the wings. The wings, the wings, oh, the dipping sauces. Okay, yeah. So I'm going to make you some french fries, but I'm going to oven bake them. Perfect. And they're going to taste like the crispy. Perfect.

So I'm going to make you the foods that you like. But just a little healthier. A healthier way, but you're not going to even know it's healthy. So what time's dinner? You know, I live in LA. We'll be there. So next time you're in LA. Okay.

Okay. All the perfect. Okay. So we'll connect. Are you going to get my spices? Yeah, I'll buy your spices. Okay. If you don't cook, do your wife and your girlfriend cook?

I don't, I don't, I order, we live in New York. Okay. We order every single meal. That's the wonderful thing about spices, because you can just sprinkle it on no matter what it is you eat, even if you don't cook. McDonald's. My seasoning salt is the bomb.

I cook, I have a very Caucasian cooking method. I just boil chicken. So you really need some flavor. I don't season it at all. You really need some flavor. You didn't even have to say that I already do. So you said Caucasian cooking method, I know where you're going with it.

Boiled chicken. You need flavor. With mayonnaise. Mayonnaise. Oh yeah. Big mayonnaise. You need, you need my, you need my seasoning. My, you need my soul.

I like to do a little fruit roll-up where I just take the chicken and I roll it and mayonnaise. Gross. And then. Disgusting. You're joking. It's like, no, it's like a ho-ho. Except it's just white meat.

It's just white meat, eggs, and vinegar. So good. Please. All right. Well, thank you for your time. I appreciate you having me on. It's been fun. Yes.

And you guys did not offend me. Okay. So nobody's getting knocked out. So that's the good news because you got so many listeners. I want to make sure they can continue listening to you. Feeding America. Check it out. Yes.

Yes. It's actually, it's a great, great cause. A bunch of kids that were helping out. What was the URL again? Let's shout it out one more time. Giveagallon.com. Giveagallon.com. We had a phase where we like just chugged milk.

We could do something like that and maybe have people donate. Yeah. Okay. Oh, bring back the milk boys. Yeah. Come on. Let's do it. Yeah.

We just drank milk and then did activities. Yeah. It wasn't. It wasn't a great idea. It wasn't very deep. It wasn't a deep thought out concept. Turns out people like to watch us throw out. Well, maybe we don't have to do milk.

Cause you know when you're saying dairy, we're talking about yogurt, we're talking about cheese. We're talking about ice cream. Yes. We're talking about potassium. Yeah. Milk shakes. Protein.

All those things you need. Custard. What's the difference between custard and ice cream? God, custard is made, custard is much heavier. Yeah. That's what I like. I'm a big custard fan. Yeah.

Heavy stuff. All right. The diesel. I like the diesel. I like ice cream diesel. All right. Layla Ali. Thank you so much.

Let's go the best time of year. So if you are a new listener every summer, as soon as the NBA season ends, we start Mount Rushmore season.

What is Mount Rushmore season? Well, every radio show in all of America, they run out of things to talk about in the summer. So they do Mount Rushmore season. And they'll be like, oh, you know, who's on the Mount Rushmore? Cincinnati athletes or whatever the fuck it may be. I want to stress that this is totally different from power ranking, your top fours.

It's totally different from doing a fantasy draft of your top four. Correct. This is Mount Rushmore. This is what would appear on a Mount Rushmore of each specific topic. And so when we first started it back in 2016, we did it as a joke.

I think our first Mount Rushmore is Mount Rushmore of seasons. Yeah, it's only four of them. Get the joke. But then we started doing it and we turned out that we just like parodied ourselves into just being the sports radio people. So we do it every summer and we take it very seriously. But before we start, I want to say, guys,

I think we the last couple of seasons, we've let it get away from us. I think we need to just have like a mini gentleman's agreement that this is like, let's pretend maybe a little less tackle football, a little more croquet. Yeah. Hand up. I let it get personal at times.

I think you let it get personal at times. Well, I won. Hank, let it get personal. Hank won. No, you won, Hank. And I won. I won a lot. Yeah.

So we're not, you know what I say? This year, let's not do polls. Let's not do votes for who won. Boo. I think we have to do polls. No, because then you pander. It leads to pandering Hank, who just panders towards. But now you just got personal.

No, I'm just saying. I'm trying to avoid it. Is giving good answers, pandering? You know exactly what. We just got personal. No, I literally started and we're personal. Pandering. Hank.

Fuck. Because I was like, someone just couldn't handle losing. But I guess I always lose the most. All his SpongeBob references. Okay. All right. We'll figure it out. Let's just be nice.

Let's just be nice. Maybe my SpongeBob. Um, yeah, let's let's start. Hank, why don't you start? Let's let's all get. We should just get trophies for each other. Yeah. Okay.

We'll do it. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So Hank, why don't you start at times? Uh, what is the second? I'll go third. It's just dad moves.

So on our father's day, it is dad moves. So we'll go snake draft style. Yes. Snake draft style. Dad moves. Mowing the lawn. There you go. That's a great.

Great answer. I love it, Hank. PFT, you go. Hank, that was a really good first one. Yes. I would say cleaning up the house 30 minutes before your mom gets back after she's been out of town for a few days. That's a good dad move.

Loading up that dishwasher, running the vacuum across. One spot in the living room, making up her bed, that whole thing. That's it. Maybe grabbing the chips and sealing them, but not sealing them with a clip. Just rolling them up real quick. I was going to say throwing away all the half eaten bags of chips and acting like you didn't just eat chips the entire time your wife was gone. That's a big time dad move.

All right. I got two. I'm going to go with always messing with the thermostat or getting mad at people who do mess with the thermostat. Every dad knows exactly what temperature he wants it at all times. If it's the winter, he's not going to let the heat run the whole time. He's going to be like, hey, put on a sweatshirt. Well, especially if you have a wood burning stove or fireplace.

He's throwing money away if you turn up the heat. Tough shit. And if it's the summer, hey, if you want to get cool, go to the pool. Like that kind of thing. Like go down the street, go to the community pool, but we're not going to run the AC all day. Yeah, listen, son, you can just open up the windows on both sides. You get a great cross breeze through the house.

Yeah. It's the same thing as having AC on. It has to be like 97 degrees and 100% humidity for the dad to be like, you know what, we'll turn on the AC. I didn't even have AC in my house. I just bought industrial sized fans. Yeah. I had the warehouses.

I had the window units. Yeah. My dad's a big cross breeze guy. Yeah. Cross breeze is better than the AC. Hey, it's 88. Nope. It's fine.

If you just get the wind blowing. Just turn the fan on and sit directly in front of it. Go into the basement where it's like wet and moldy. Lay down on the basement floor next to the dog that's fanting. OK. My other one is naps. Dads know how to nap anywhere, anytime. I feel like a dad like the minute he sits on a couch, on a chair.

I'm not even talking about like the master's nap. I'm talking about like if your dad comes over and he sits down on your couch and you're like getting ready to go to dinner, he'll use those 10 minutes to get a little shut eye. Just a quick shut eye. Bubba actually has a little bit of dad in him because he can fall asleep. Just about anywhere. All these things are happening to me though, which makes sense.

We're about to be a dad, but I can notice him a lot more. It's like your body is nesting. Yeah. Like your body just knows. I used to take when I was in like my 20s, I used to take like a three hour nap on a Saturday when I was hung over. Now I take no joke like six, eight minute naps on a Saturday. It's the worst.

You know what the worst? I did that literally the Saturday. I just like for eight minutes I'd fall asleep. I was like, whoa, what time is it? Oh, it's only been eight minutes. Then an hour go by and just take another eight minute nap. Yeah, I actually timed my naps by opening up Twitter and seeing how long ago my last refresh was.

And I was like, oh yeah, I felt like I was just asleep for 30 minutes. Turns out it was five. That that will be the opening of true life. I'm addicted to Twitter PFT. Yes, absolutely. My second pick is going to be I'm going to go with owning two pairs of the exact same shoes. Oh, that's a big one.

My dad used to buy every like what? I like it. I like my shoes. Yeah, you find a shoe that works for you. Why would you ever want to listen? It was like eight years in a row where my dad wore the exact same shoes. As you get older, you have like back tendencies that pop up. So you find the ones that you like that that mold themselves to your foot.

And then there's like a breaking in period where you switch to the second pair and you're like, I got to break these ones in. Yes. And also you could switch up use like what Hank was saying. One of these pairs is for mowing the lawn and the other is for walking around the house. Oh, no, the best is when the debt when your dad gets the multiple pairs of the same shoe and they're all in different states. So there's like the nice clean ones that are where if you like have to go out in public,

but he still has his old shoes. They're just in a different part of the rotation where then he has the one pair that it's like that literally is just for like cleaning out the fucking sump pump or whatever. Yeah, it's usually usually located in the garage. Something blows up in your basement. He'll put on those last pair of shoes he's had eight years ago. He's got the formal shoes. He's got the ones that he wears down to the Y.

Yeah. He wants to shoot around. Yeah. All right. Hank, you got two. My first one will be like peeing outside of the house, even though there's bathroom right right right indoors. That's I do that all the time.

Yes. Yes. Yes. It's a great it feels way better to pee outside. Oh, yeah. Human beings were not designed to pee inside. Yeah. I will I will pee like 10 feet away from a bathroom, but just make sure it's outside.

And then my other one, I'll say like if you say like, hey, I'm tired. And then the dad will be like, I'm dad. Nice to meet you. You mean like, hey, tired. I'm bad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's I'm hungry.

That's a good hungry. Nice to meet you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or he'll say like, you know, like, oh, that mister was my dad's name. You can call me and then that just dad jokes in general. You want to take dad jokes?

Let's talk about dad. I don't want to do that. Do you guys like another one? No, I think that's it. You got it. Dad jokes. I feel bad taking another dad joke. Yeah, that's it's dad jokes.

It's the like the puns. The funny signs that they see just whatever you can think of dad jokes. And then if they nail it, it will make their day forever. Like they because, you know, I'm assuming you guys most people have the same like family structure where everyone reaches a certain age where the dad just becomes the butt of the joke for the whole family unit. And it sucks because it's like once everyone gets like past like 15, the dad just gets fucking roasted.

It's just a dad roast. Every time you're together. But when he gets that one in, it's like, holy shit. He got it. He takes his lap. It's like a fucking walk off. It's Joe Carter hitting the home run in the World Series. There's a sweet spot between the age of like nine and I want to say 15 or 16

where the dad is king. Oh, yeah. That family. He's Bernie Mac. Where yeah, the kids are old enough where you can fuck with them a little bit and make fun of them and like play all these little dad pranks. Yeah. And the jokes are funny.

You reign supreme. But then your athlete. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But he'll fucking box you down. Yeah. He'll bring you down to the post after you put up on you.

After you lose and horse to your son at that point. It's just nature. It's Roche. Yeah. It's like the lion just choking out the adult lion and the pride belongs to him now. God damn it. It's so true. I still have every dad.

Every everyone who's listening to this, whether you are yourself a dad or obviously if you have like a family with your your close with your dad, you just know your dad just becomes the butt of every joke. OK. My next one is going to be beer fridge. Wait. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Hated to. Yeah. You almost got lost. Almost got lost. Beer fridge. Beer fridge.

Fridge that's dedicated to beer. Maybe he's into micro brewing for a little bit. Or maybe he has a side project where he got like a little sanky sized Kegorator. Yep. That you can use to to pour your craft beer out of through the wall tap. Some refrigerating unit that is dedicated solely to his choice of beer. I like that.

I like that one. All right. And the thing is he doesn't drink that much beer. Yes. He'll have like two beers on a Friday night and then fall asleep. Yes. But that's still his fridge and don't you touch it. Don't you touch that.

Unless your mother's out of town and then we don't we don't tell her when she gets back. Party on. All right. I have two here to round myself out. Confidence dancing. Every dad they reach a point where they're confident in dancing at weddings or whatever it may be and they're so bad. But they don't like you know how like if I go to a wedding,

I don't dance because I know I suck at dancing. But then you see a dad who's cutting it up and he's terrible. But if you asked him after he'd be like I fucking owned that dance floor. There's something that happens with dads where they just like flip a switch. They don't care about being embarrassed. And then they just own a dance floor or any kind of social setting where they're terrible at it. But they think they're like the best dancer. I mean that's part of the great part of getting old.

Yeah. Is just like you stop giving a shit what anybody else thinks. Yeah. They get the tie around their their forehead and they're like doing the whole thing. You know they really can only move their arms. They can't move their hips whatsoever. But they're like I crush that dance floor. Yep.

All right my last one would be manning the grill. Every dad that's like the sacred place like I want to man the grill. Don't touch the grill. Talking about the grill. Asking everyone is your meat good. Do you need me to put it back on for a minute on the grill. Just the grill and everything that comes around it. It becomes like the most sacred place for a dad.

Talking about grill specs with the neighbor. Everything. Yeah. So dad will see like a neighbor get a grill. A new grill. And then the dad then has to acquire a grill with similar specs. But he can't get the exact same one because then he's a copycat. Yeah.

So he goes and he gets the one that's got yeah. Okay so I've got the 14,000 BTU burners. I got four of them set up. But I also got the side burner. In case I want to get a pot of beans going at the same time. And everyone works for dad when he's on the grill. Like hey can you grab me a plate for the burgers. Like you become the weight staff.

He does the thing the clicking with the tongs. Clicking the tongs like oh you want this. You want cheese on your burger. You want this. Like he is basically like the head chef. And he owns the world when he's on the grill. It's his domain. And he's usually just cooking like frozen hamburgers.

Yeah pretty much. It's just the Costco staff of frozen hamburgers. Yeah a few hot dogs. A couple hot dogs. It's like you just. But he turns into Gordon Ramsay. Yes exactly. All right.

Okay my last one. I'm going to go with owning a pair of transition lenses. I don't think that you're legally allowed to wear transition lenses until you can prove that you have a child. Yeah yeah yeah. Because they are patently ridiculous. But they are the most dad thing in the world and that's practical. Yes.

They are the most practical set of eyewear that you can ever purchase. They change when you go into it. You don't have to fiddle around with like taking off a pair of sunglasses. Getting indoors. Putting on your bifocals. You just wear the same pair all day long. Yeah. To go with your shoes.

Well my dad started to lose his eyesight. He just wouldn't like he couldn't come to grips with it. So he kept on buying like over the counter eyeglasses at different strengths until he had like 60 pairs of eyeglasses and he would just like mix and match. Like oh this is my like four feet from my face. This is my four and a half feet from my face. Like dude you just can't see. Because I've had a ball game I wear these.

Yeah right. Benoculars. You just can't see. Maybe I'll just start rocking transition lenses. Maybe that's how I'll get out of the sunglasses game eventually. There we go. Hank your last pick. My last one I will go with making the same meal every time mom is gone.

Yes. Yes. Like my dad would just make spaghetti. Yes. But then mom's not here. What's for dinner tonight. Spaghetti. Yeah.

Maybe pancakes. They put the word famous in front of it though. It's like time for dad's famous waffles. And it's a fucking ego. Yeah. Time for dad. Yeah you want your dad's famous oatmeal. Yeah.

Fucking oatmeal. Yeah it's an ego waffle. It's dad's famous waffle but it's just got a little bit of peanut butter smeared on it. That's good Hank. That's really good. All right. Anyone's that we missed? Is that Tom Pander?

No you didn't. No that was great. I thought everybody did a wonderful job. We all killed it. Anything we missed? I was going to say cereal. Eating cereal at night. Yeah.

Yeah breakfast for dinner when mom's at. That's another one. Forgetting names. Like not learning new names after a certain point. I actually was my dad was here this weekend. We were watching the golf and the Cubs and he asked me how Raul Mandisi was doing for the Reds. And I knew he was talking about Yasiel Puyg and I was just like Raul Mandisi hasn't played in MLB since 2005.

But that's the thing. At some point when you're dad you're like I'm not learning new names. Yeah like asking about friends. You have been friends with him like 10 years. How's Joe? It's like I don't know. We're on the same little league team. But those are the names he knew.

So he's like I know names. I was going to say going to a store and getting mad and trying to exchange or trying to get a refund on part of your product because you missed a sale by like a couple days. When you bought the product two days later like now it's on sale. I need to get this $20 back that I would have saved had I bought it two days later. Buying too many cornflakes. Because you tricked me. Buying too many cornflakes and then making your son PFT cornflakes every single morning

for three years. Did I ever tell you guys about the checks mix story? No. Go ahead. Here's another one. All right. So my dad found a deal where you could get the wizards and the capitals. We're having the capitals.

Oh you did. You did. The capitals. Yeah. You went and you got tickets. The wizards. We're having such a shitty attendance here that they had a deal where like if you bought a bag of checks mix they just gave you a free ticket to go to a wizards game.

My dad came home with like 25 bags of checks mix. He was like you can invite 25 of your friends to come watch the wizards. I was like first of all I don't know if I have 25 friends. Right. Secondly I definitely don't have 25 friends that want to go to a wizards game on a school night. Right. And how are we going to get them all there.

And how are we going to get them there because they closed down the metro before the wizards came over. And then other fucking parents have to drive their shitty kids to the wizards game. Exactly. So that was bad. Yeah. But shout out all the dads out there. Oh here's another happy father's day.

Having one year where you tried to grow a mustache. Yeah. Every dad has that period. Yeah. My dad had a mustache for like 20 years. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Do you got it. Every dad's got to have a mustache at some point. But yeah. Shout out all the dads out there. I'm sure there's a lot of dads that listen to the show. So if you're a dad who listens to the show actually no if your dad listens to the show I assume he doesn't have Twitter get a couple texts and tweeted at us. We'd love to see some ones that we missed from like the OG dads like talking 55 and up dads.

Get your dad to text you some of the things we missed and we will retweet the best ones. Here's another one wearing wearing carpenter shorts like Jean denim shorts that have the big hammer loop in them pockets even though your dad hasn't done a day's worth of home improvements in his life. Yeah. Oh holding holding all the tickets. Yep. That's a big dad thing like playing tickets game tickets whatever he's got to have them all

and he's just like at every chance like oh you got here you go and then he feels like the kingmaker passing out all those tickets. Yep. All right. Yeah. We'll post this the graphic and tweet us the ones we missed and definitely get your dad to respond via text. If he's a listener we'd love to hear from from the OG dads.

I'm really glad Mount Rushmore season's back. That was nice. It's great. Oh here's another dad hiring your shitty son to be part of your NFL coaching staff. Yeah. That's another big time. That's a good classic dad move. That's a good one too.

Okay before we get to Monday reading and wrap up the show we have connected dots real quick. So the Raptors do in fact have a parade. Correct. They are having a parade. I think it's today as you're listening to this as the crow flies. Yep. Toronto is going to be having a parade. It's going to be the most polite parade and probably a single file line.

Everyone applauding at appropriate tones but New Balance Canada tweeted out this little nugget. He said if you're attending the parade tomorrow look for a New Balance Street team along the route and turn on airdrop to receive a special message from the fun guy himself. Pass it on. So Kauai Leonard is going to be airdropping things to people along the route. I'm trying to figure out what it is. Nudes. Tramon would do nudes.

No it's going to be like Kauai emoji. Kauai bitmojis. They're dropping a Kauai bitmoji tomorrow. With like a champ you know. And it's just going to be Kauai just standing with his hands on his hips. Yeah. For every emoji. Maybe like pancakes.

Yeah. And a championship trophy. They're going to whatever it is they're going to think it's fun and it's not going to be fun. Yes. It's him beerbonging a bunch of room temperature water. Did you see the video of him in Vegas. I actually feel bad for Kauai at this point because it's one of those jokes that everyone on the internet has made so he can't do anything to disprove what we think he's doing at that moment.

Like if you just show me a picture of Kauai if you take a video of him you're just going to be like oh that guy's not having any fun. He's a robot. He just wants to play basketball. Yeah. There's nothing he can do at this point to be like oh my god Kauai's coming out of his shell. The brand is very strong. It's so strong.

Yeah the brand. So I kind of feel bad like he was just sitting in a Vegas cabana and someone took a video of him and he was just sitting there. He was looking at a girl. And everyone was like look at Kauai he's miserable he just wants to be playing basketball. He's a classic Kauai looking at an attractive girl in a swimsuit. Like I don't know man I think he probably just sitting there because if you sit in a Vegas cabana there's probably going to be moments where you're just sitting there.

Yeah and if somebody takes a video of me just out of context anywhere in Las Vegas you could probably find five seconds of me doing a very Kauai thing. Right. Even the Serge Bakka video where Kauai was sitting next to him in the car it was a completely normal thing and everyone was like man Kauai's so not fun. Yeah. Like I don't know dude he seems okay. I think I think the smart money is on a new Kauai series of Bitmojis coming out.

Let's be nice to Kauai. I think Kauai is more fun than we then the internet collectively has put on him. Agreed. The pendulum is going to swing. He is named after the best island in Hawaii. That's true. Which is cool. That yeah with.

Spell different. Spell different. That's fine. Yes I agree. That's the one that would get nuked first. That's that's the one that had the thing happened that had the fake thing where they're like hey you guys are all going to die. That's that.

And then they fired. That was funny. They fired that the person that accidentally sent it out. Okay let's do our Monday reading wrap up the show. So this one comes randomly someone tweeted this I don't have his Twitter handle but thank you to the person who tweeted at us you know who you are. It is titled it's a post on Reddit says what is TIFU. Today I fucked up.

Today I fucked up. Why don't you just write that. Okay shorthand today I fucked up by eating bugs my entire life and having a spider bite the inside of my mouth. Okay relatable. All right so here we go. Okay so you know some people have dark dark dark secrets. Some people pick their nose.

Some people pick it and eat it. Well first of all everyone picks their nose. Some people eat shit. Yeah some. Okay. Some might. Interestingly some respond right away there. Some because it spot the line.

Say that's interesting Hank. When I said some people eat shit and PFT didn't immediately jump in and say what it was a bet. Spot the line. Some people have eaten shit. Okay some people do really strange things. Well I like to eat live bugs. Nobody in my life knows this. I just like the way some of them are soft and taste quite gummy.

I like how some are crunchy and almost explode in your mouth when you bite down. This guy clearly has never had gushers. You can solve that right away. But it's not the same because you get the legs. Okay yeah you're right it's not exactly the same. I started eating bugs when I was a kid. I started with ladybugs. I just kept eating them.

They secrete some bitter liquid which had a really nice acquired taste. I went from ladybugs to other bugs. All right real quick I want to interrupt you because they said it was an acquired taste. But I don't I can't see a world where you keep pushing through those first five or six times of eating ladybug that suck and you're like eventually you know it's going to be like asparagus. I'll go into it so I know they're good for me. Yeah the first ladybug that secretes the bitter liquid. Yeah that's where I'm at.

First one you're out. Yeah I went from ladybugs to other bugs. Woodlice were my second and they were crunchy and easy to find. Whom's amongst us. They also felt nice to eat when they're in their ball state a bit like cereal. Was this written by a bear? It feels like it was. Yeah it's like I moved on to woodlice.

I could find them under the big log when the winter thawed out. This is like a fox. Like yeah I would I would forage for them. Bear wrote this. If you dig a shallow hole you can find all sorts of tasty grubs. Okay this is like tamon and pumba. Yeah pretty much. The taste isn't really the thing I like most of the time.

It's the texture. How it feels in my mouth. I love to eat them to this day. I went on to other insects as I got older. It's good that his palate is you know expanding. Well you gotta keep chasing the dragon because like getting that first taste the first time you ate a ladybug you have to keep chasing that and find grosser and grosser things to eat. Right I started eating spiders.

In the UK there are some spiders which move out at certain times of the year which can get big. I think that's called it's called the brown spider or wolf spider. Those things are fucking huge dude. Those things are the size of a small crab. Jesus Christ when they squirm oh my god. When they squirm when biting down it almost adds to the texture and the liquid that comes out is really creamy and good to eat. The legs are the problem though as they get stuck in your teeth.

This is so fucked up. This has gotta be fake right. This has gotta be fake. Is this Eli Manning that wrote this? This has gotta be fake. Today I ate one of those spindly spiders the daddy long leg ones. I saw some in the corner of my room minding their own business and their web. That's just impractical.

Do you know how many daddy long legs you'd have to eat to get full? Probably like well he's eating for the texture mind you. You could probably eat a hundred daddy long legs and still feel like you haven't really had. It's like one moth stick. A moth was stuck in the web. Moths are disgusting. They're like eating a spoon of flour. Wow everyone knows that.

Damn that's I didn't know there was a line but I guess moths are where he draws the line. They've got the powder on the wings it makes it hard to digest. I put the spider in my mouth and proceeded to chew it. Now before I got my bite in to kill it I think it bit me somehow on my tongue or something. The worst burning sensation I've ever had happened at that moment. It was like my mouth was on fire but not in a good way like spice. First my tongue was burning and it spread to my jaw and eventually I felt like my brain was going to come out. Bro it was a poisonous spider.

My tongue has a strange bumpy bit on it now and I don't know if I should see a doctor or not. Dude you got spider herpes. Even if I did see the doctor how the fuck do I tell him how it happened. I would not I would not go see the doctor. I think you're you're probably first in line to get some sort of superpower after this. This is one of those moments where like we all love the internet right. The internet is become this thing that is endless entertainment and go down these rabbit holes but here's what also happens with the internet.

You have people who have been eating bugs their entire life think that they need to share their story with the internet. Like there if you go back 20 years I'm sure there was a bug eating dude in the UK eating his wolf spiders and being like gross not moss and scurrying around looking for woodlice but he was just there minding his own business and no one ever had to know about him. Now we know about him and I feel like 0.01% less confident that humanity will continue. You know what though it's like everybody that reads this that reads about the dude that eats bugs there is going to be a very small percentage of people that will try it for the first time

and really enjoy it. So it's actually spreading it out. What do you think is going to happen to the ecosystem? I was going to say all these bugs are going to be getting eaten. I was going to say it's probably better for the planet to for people to get their sources of protein from bugs than from big-ass cow farms right. That's why people keep telling me that crickets are the food of the future. Yeah but I'm not going to participate in it but I acknowledge that it could be.

Watch this dude just like kills off the the UK population of totes because they're like oh all of a sudden they just don't have any fucking spiders to eat. I assume that's what totes eat. Toads probably eat a fair amount of grubs and creepy crawlies. So now this guy this fucking idiot who's sitting there probably with like a half-eaten bag of Fritos next to his bed is eating all the spiders and little toadie down there down the street can't get his protein up. So he's contributing to the extinction of other species.

Correct and then because the toad population goes down then there aren't going to be any princesses getting married in a couple years. Exactly so now we're all fucked. Yeah great good. Angela Merkel's or wait that's not her name. Meghan Markle yeah is the last princess no Angela Merkel. Angela Merkel of Germany. The princess of Scotland is the last person who will get married in the royal family because

this motherfucker killed all the toads. God damn it this world sucks. All right that's our show. Mount Rushmore season continues we'll see everyone Wednesday. Love you guys. Say you're crazy love you're crazy love you're crazy love you're crazy love you're crazy love you're crazy love you're crazy love you're crazy love you're crazy love take on me take on me take on me take on me take on me take on me take on me
