Not gonna lie. I'm gonna fade it out. Guess who just got back to get remember when it was Rex Ryan and Rob Ryan walking together? Yeah, play that song. That was the coolest fucking video ever. We're back. We're back. It is great to be back from vacation. Everyone feels rested. Well, I did feel rested big cat until I watched the NBA All Star game. Oh, and man, did I expect more out of that one?

Puke. So I actually didn't watch the NBA All-Star game. I did not either. I've never felt smarter in my entire life. I went back, watched all the highlights of which there were one or two. The highlight was really Adam Silver after the game telling that it was the Eastern Conference one. Congratulations on, I guess, scoring the most points tonight. Yes. No, I thought so. So there was that highlight, but the real highlight for me was Bob Ryan tweeting, if you're not personally

offended by by this, he wrote but, but I assume he meant by if you're not personally offended by this disgraceful farce taking place right now in Indy, you don't love or understand basketball. These quote unquote, all stars should be censured and where are the coaches? Have any of them have any pride? They're all acting like athletic court gestures. I love that.

I would like to see a coach try to get players to play in the all star game. Like have them do suicides before the game, have them go out there run three man weave. Like let's get, come on, let's lock in, do a full court press. Yeah, well, there's another one, he had one earlier that I missed.

He said, once again, these NBA stars are showing no respect for the game. It's another Dunkerama and three point farce, not a single hand in anyone's face. I'll see how TCM is doing. See you next year. What a waste of time. Adam, you must do something.

It's embarrassing for your sport. Adam, Adam Silver though, he kinda, is he the number one commissioner now? Yeah, he doesn't do shit. Well, he just gets bullied by everyone. Yeah, that's his job. I mean, Roger Godel, he does get bullied, but he gets bullied by the owners.

Do you know what Adam Silver's biggest problem was? It was timing, timing is everything in life. He came in and was commissioner. And you remember what happened right when he was commissioner? I think he was like two months in, it was Donald Sterling. And he banned him for life and everyone was like, this fucking guy rocks. He is the best.

And it's been all downhill from there. You literally like, you can't, you gotta wait for those easy wins. He should have, you know what he should have done? He should have said, we're gonna wait and see with Donald Sterling, put it in his back back pocket waited till there was a all-star You know crisis at hand and then like oh, yeah that Donald Sterling guy is he even still alive is he? No, I think he is no. I think he's dead boom. He's suspended for life. Yeah alive. You should have waited. I'd

89 89 according to Wikipedia. He's got that when Donald Sterling dies Adam Silver should release his name that just says good Yeah, Adam Silver member when I banned him. Yeah, anytime we mentioned Donald Sterling We have to read the transcript from his 2003 deposition and also big magic Johnson. What do you ever do? So here's Donald Sterling's words from this deposition 2003 former owner of the Clippers Well, I fool around sometimes I do. When a girl seduces me and tells me all these hot stories and dirty things and tells me how much she wants to suck on me and takes my shoes off and licks my feet

and touches me, when I'm in limousine, she takes off all her clothes. The limo driver said, what's going on? And she started sucking on me on the way to Mr. Coons house. And I thank her, I thank her for making me feel good. And the lawyer, sir, the question was, is this your handwriting?

Love it. It literally was Michael Scott deposition. It rocks. Yeah, in real life. But I have some fixes for the all circuit. I do too. Okay, go ahead. No, you go ahead.

I have some that are not gonna work. Thank you, go ahead. You go ahead, you got a fix? All right, my first fix is on the losing team, one person dies. That's a good fix. Do you don't think they would try hard? It's like the lottery. Yeah. Yeah. We just do a we just take names out of a hat right after it's like, oh, Luca, sorry, you're

dead. Yeah. The mystery knife would play too in that circumstance. It would be great. Yeah, that's a good idea. That one's a little I understand that one probably is gonna we're gonna need to get a little bit further in the crisis to get that one enacted but don't rule it out. It would kind of rock though if LeBron's team lost and then the players vote on who gets killed. And they vote LeBron off. Oh, okay. Yeah, I saw you had a similar idea this big cat,

but we talked about this for the Pro Bowl game because we fixed the Pro Bowl too. And the solution to that was one, or all the players on the winning team get to hit free agency one year early. Yeah, and I did the reverse where all, all, if you play the NBA All-Star game, losing team has one player that can never be an All-Star again. Yeah, I like that.

Yeah. So it's like they, that loses out on cash. Bantam. Yeah. Uh, well, team gets to dress the losing team. I like that. I like that. I had some rest of the year ones.

Losing team can't tie their shoes for the rest of the season. Okay. That's cool. That'd be pretty funny. Losing team has to their shoes for the rest of the season. Okay, that's cool. That'd be pretty funny. Losing team has to fly Southwest for the rest of the season. Mm-hmm. Southwest is fine. I flew it this morning. Hank disagrees.

Not for NBA players. Yeah. Bart Barrett. What about this? What about the Richard Mendenhall rules? What if we make the All-Star game white versus black? Oh, okay. So who's the white starting five?

Luca. Luca. Caruso. Yolkic Caruso crust apps Chris tap Grayson Allen Payton Prichard Payton Prichard Mack MacLung Mac MacLung that I'd put that five up. It's gotta be a plumbly out there And then who's on the other team everyone else. Yeah, literally everyone else How about how about this one this one would actually be really brutal losing team has to be the video crew for LeBron's farewell tour

Okay, yeah, I can't play basketball for at least a year probably to I also this one would be fun losing team Draws out of a hat and the loser that person's team has to give Darko 20 minutes a Game for the rest of the season. Okay, let's get Darko back in. Yeah, sure. What the fuck Well, if Darko was getting 20 minutes on the box, you might be great. We don't know. I have a real one though. Okay. I actually think would work. I got another one. Okay, you go. This kind of straddles the line of real and maybe not real. What if the number one team in college basketball got to play against the All Stars? Hmm, because they'd at least try. They would try. They would have to try.

They would try. Because like the threat of being embarrassed by the number one team. That's true. That would be enough to make the guys actually go out there and do something cool. I saw some people saying they should do US versus the world, that would be good. I mean, maybe you'd have a little bit of pride. Yeah.

But I had, so the problem is the in season tournament, not only does it have, you know, you win a championship in Vegas, but there's money involved. People are saying when you get money involved in the All-Star game, the problem is though, the All-Star game, money involved, all those guys get paid so much money.

The in-season tournament works because the stars are playing for the last guy on the bench. Like I remember, wasn't it the Pacers were in the final of it? And it was like three or four guys are making, you know, $10 million a year year but everyone else is getting paid nothing. So they're playing for half a million dollars. That means something. What if it was losing team, or sorry,

winning team gets money out of the losing team's pocket but we went one further. So the losing team literally has to pay the winning team. So now it's money out of your pocket. Losing team has to pay winning team $10,000 per point. Oh. Because now you play defense. Yeah, you play defense and it doesn't matter

if you're losing, you still trying. Correct. Yeah. Correct. Not a bad idea. Right. And you have to pay them in $1 bills. Yeah.

And it takes place. But Dane would have gotten $500,000. He scored 50, right? Yeah. Did he? Was it 50? I thought he scored 50. He did not score 50. That was 39? I mean, I scored 30. He scored a lot right? Yeah. Did it was it was it 50? I thought he scored 50. No, it's 39. I mean, I scored a lot of. We didn't watch the game. We didn't watch the game.

So it's good for us because we can't get upset about it. Trey Young and Don Vimentel actually had a decent idea. I think that would probably work. They told us to Rachel Nichols after the game. They said get an MC out there. So have a guy like at the end when mixtape or like at Rucker Park that's on the court narrating the game as it happened. Roasting them. Yeah roasting roasting you if you get crossed up. Oh what if what if the winning team immediately after the game had to go and in the back room it was club Shea Shea and they got to just bash the losing team. I like that yeah. That would be bad.

Good idea. That would be bad. Good idea. That would be very bad. What if he had Ben Simmons and he's just shooting on a hoop out to the side and he has to score 100 points on his own, only three pointers in the time that it, both teams have to get over 100 points. He wouldn't, what do you mean?

So like he's on a hoop all by himself. Right. The other two teams are playing each other. Right. And he has to score 100 points on his own. Oh, so's on a hoop all by himself. Right. The other two teams are not scoring. Are playing each other. Right. And he has to score 100 points on the phone. Oh, so it's a challenge for Ben Simmons. Challenge for Ben Simmons. Yes, I like it.

Ben Simmons can beat the two teams to 100 points. He cannot. He cannot. What if the game doesn't end till they hit 41 free throws in a row? Oh! He'd still be there. He'd be there forever. Unless they got Scott Morris from UNH.

Shout out. Or Spencer. Was that the guy's name? Spencer the ringer, the ringer, the ringer, the ringer guy. By the way, we have shirts, Hank, go grab one of the shirts. We have the 41 free throw shirts. I know about you guys, but I don't think I said this

on Sunday's pod, but I got to Mexico and I got to the house and I immediately slept for eight more hours. I was like, it was first day of vacation, I was like, I'm gonna do some more sleeping. Yeah, you forget how much an all nighter takes away your entire world. Yeah.

Like you don't feel like you're alive for about two days. And you convince yourself you're not tired and then you like close your eyes for one second and eight hours go by. Yeah. Yeah, 41 free throws. I really do think that the losing team, paying the winning team would work

because guys don't wanna lose money. And especially if you tied it into the point team, paying the winning team would work because guys don't want to lose money. And especially if you tied it into the point total, guys would play defense. But at the end of the day, who cares, right? I mean, it's the NBA All-Star game. If you expected anything besides this, the only reason why you might be expecting something different was Adam Silver did say, I think in November,

that like we're not going to have an embarrassing All-Star game. You're going to be entertained. Yeah. So that was a fucking lie. And he just again, the those players run his life. Oh yeah, we're going to make it even more embarrassing. But yeah, other than baseball, I know hockey, people were saying that hockey has done a better job. But like baseball is the only all-star game that really, and that even is lost a little bit of it's allure because it used to be Dating ourselves When there was an interleague play it was like oh fuck. I can't wait to see this matchup

We'll never see this matchup again. Yeah But he baseball still has a little bit of a lure because you get guys are still throwing hard and trying to hit Yeah, football just gave up. Yeah, which was smart smart because now no one expects anything out of them Yeah, the NBA should just give up Why why way easier to give up? It's way easier to give up then people can't complain The football one they get the advantage because it's the end of the year Yeah, but I think even basketball they will ask why you just tie it in the end season tournament do that later in the year Yeah, I really think the money thing is the only thing to save and it can't be that the winning team gets money It has to be tied into the losing team losing money.

Because like I said, that all the guys you're getting paid, it's on a money. I don't think, I don't think if you said $100,000 to every winner on the All Star team, yeah, obviously $100,000, but like some of these guys are making $55 million a year. What do they care? It's not gonna be like,

oh, I'm gonna try way harder now. What if all of the All Stars, you get get selected because the other thing with the contracts is like That's built in your contract if you make all starts right this I'm saying That's why you should lose one one person should never be all star again What if every all-star has to volunteer a player on their behalf and then it's for money? Oh I like that this guy's got to pay no this guy or this guy gets paid. Oh, I like that. I like that. So they're playing for that one.

The last guy on your bench, you're like, I want to get him paid. But you also have to work with your other All Stars on like getting the best team together so your team can win. Yeah. Okay. Well, we fixed the All Stars. Or if it was money, what if it was money that got paid to whatever college you went to if you went to college?

Because a lot of those guys, they like gassing up their alumni. Yeah, I think a lot of them don't. You don't think so? Well, they only went for like a year, a lot of them. Yeah. Inxions playing for the brotherhood still? Yeah, for sure.

Yeah. He's definitely still playing for the brotherhood. Absolutely, absolutely. 100%. The other thing that came out of this weekend, the NBA weekend is Doc Rivers is really unlikable. Yeah. Holy shit.

So what's he was a snake? So he had the balls to, after taking someone's job and saying he wasn't, he was working for the Bucks as an analyst, took the job, took Jeff Gandhi's job, and then was like, yeah, I'm good with his announcer stuff. I'll be the Bucks head coach and we'll fire Adrian Griffin, whatever, 40 games in the season. Doc Rivers had the balls to say,

it was a tough time for him to take the job. He said, taking a job when you're about to go on the toughest road trip of the season is not the smartest decision. I even told him that, can we wait till all star break? You know, it would have been a lot nicer. Yeah, it would have been nicer for sure. What the fuck? It would have been great.

You get like a month of prep time. Yeah good job doc. You got that you got the job you can't complain about a job that you you stabbed somebody in the back for. He also had a uh he I'm pulling it up he had a quote where it actually sounded like when Dave does his bit with excuses like not to make excuses then rattles off a bunch of excuses listen to these listen to dock river explain the the the starty had with the box Just you know the Utah game you kind of knew you know altitude back to back I mean the liver just go to the Dallas, Utah have never been on the airplane in their life No time zones, you know That was just a tough one. We knew that I Gu I guarantee you when they looked at that before the year started, they were

like, this, this was going to be a brutal game for us. Uh, end of a trip legs. You can just see it. We've got a lot of injuries right now. So guys are playing more extended minutes. I think that's probably, you know what? The flu season. El Nino.

So he went, he went schedule time zones fatigue injuries defense. That's about it. In 30 seconds. It's a royal flush. Yeah. Yeah, there's not really you could I've heard people throw El Nino into a lot of shit. He should have put that in there just you know played. What does that mean like going to leap year going on extra days this month going from Dallas to Utah. Everybody knows time zones and altitude you go from Dallas to Utah you might as well be going through hell it's the toughest road trip in America that's really hard what else do you want us to do Dallas to Utah next you're gonna say Sacramento yeah oh man so yeah dock rivers good job coming back and and really making

everyone be like wait why do we why do we why do people like this guy yeah I don't like Doc. Yeah. Hank? I mean, he's a championship winning coach. What's not to like? All right, what else we got going on in the sports world? Pitchers and catchers did report.

Yeah, and there's a bunch of baseball players that aren't signed yet. Yeah, I don't know what my hot seats say. I don't know what's going to happen with that. We'll save for hot seat cool throne. I'm excited about baseball, though. I'm excited about baseball as well. Dingers only? Yeah, we're doing Dingers only again.

Yes. No hip-hop pitches? No hip-hop pitches, just dingers. So we should set a date. Yeah, we'll set a date. Let's say June 20th. Oh, we're going to do mid-season? Well, we don't have to do the start of the season.

What are you saying? Cold. Yeah. We're going to do the start of the season. Also, what's going to be an interesting twist is we're going to have to figure out how to disable notifications on our phone for every player that we had hitting home runs last year. Yeah, I just got a Brandon Lau injury update.

That's tough. Yeah. So we can do Fourth of July, one of the episodes again. We should be able to keep one guy though. Keep a keeper league? A keeper league. Yeah, you get to keep one dinger. You know what we should do is we should draft.

This is what we should do is we should draft our team before opening day and every week you get to add one guy to your active roster till we get the full roster. I like that. So you have to guess. So you have to guess. Yes, you have to guess. That's a nice way to also like.

It eases the sin, yeah. Yeah, ease in first week. You're just rooting for one dude to go yard. Second week you got two guys. Yeah. You can be track of. Yeah, it's like the Royal Rumble of Deers home Uh-huh opening day in South Korea March 28th. Who cares? Oh wait ince they're playing in

This is an opening day for South Korea's like who cares about that Dodgers Badger is South Korea. Oh, sorry March 20 20th. All right. Well, we're not gonna be doing that kind of time zone is zone is that going to be. That's literally, isn't that first day of March Madness? Yeah, right around that. That's really stupid. Great job, baseball. Yeah. Way to go, baseball. That's 30 weeks before everyone else. So March 28th is everyone else.

What should the punishment be this year? I like something baseball related. Yeah, it was good. This year's punishment was good. Just run it back. We could run it back. We could also do, you get a hit by a 90 mile an hour fastball. Mmm, that'd be fun.

That sounds fun. That does sound fun. Maybe you have to just like face a college pitcher until you can. Oh, we should, you know what we should do is we should run it back, but the loser also has to bat. Yeah.

Yeah. Cause I think facing against a college pitcher would be, that would be terrifying. Yeah, the loser has to be Shohei. Yeah, and you have to keep taking it bats until you get a base hit. Yeah. Oh, that will take forever.

Maybe we won't put in that stipulation. We'll refine it, but yeah. I like doing, I think we should run it back. You gotta see that. You gotta get a hit. Shut up Max, you're sick. I'm fine. No, I mean, you're sick in the head. Oh, okay. Yeah. I'm fine. No, I mean you're sick in the head.

Oh, okay. Yeah. End of baseball. End of baseball. You're so sick. Hank, do you want to do your top 10 Patriots? Yeah. So this could change.

Yeah, because I said I would do it. We were debating it and then I was watching the first two episodes of, I'm sorry, Dynasty. I've heard and I haven't watched it yet, but we'll all watch it so that we can review it together. But I've heard the crafts are spin zoning stuff. I guess just what the tweets have seen. They're heavily featured. You just listen to Kirk. No, that wasn't just Kirk. Kirk did say, but I've seen tweets to being like, I think Simmons even said the crafts were spins. That Kirk's. Yeah. I mean, I wasn't around. Obviously my first like watching it. I was like, Holy shit Simmons even said the crafts were spins. That curcs, yeah, I mean, I wasn't around, obviously.

My first, like, watching it, I was like, holy shit, I was literally nine years old when this started. People are saying that they made it seem like the Patriots are really bad before Brady, and they actually weren't with Parcells and Pete Carroll. It was a Super Bowl, yeah. So they do focus a little bit on the crafts, and it's told from his point of view kind of but you have to almost

Tell it from his point of view because he's the one that made the decisions right like bringing in Belichak And then Belichak deciding Drew Bledsoe or Tom Brady and then craft like signing off on that and trusting him So like you do have to tell the side of the story by far my favorite part of it so far is Ernie Adams You get so much Ernie Adams already. And Ernie Adams. He might be on a white whale list of ours. Yeah, he's a very interesting guy. So he's driving out of his house, which is a very nice house.

Dude drives a Subaru. Of course. It's like a classic Subaru. Love that guy. Yeah. I wouldn't expect him to drive anything else. That would be either a Subaru or like a Corolla. Yeah. Nothing more.

Like 1997 Toyota Camry. Yeah, nothing more. Like 1997 Toyota Camry. Yeah, nothing more. It's going to be painful waiting week in and week out for all the episodes. I think there's 10 episodes. There's only two hour right now. And I think after this week, it goes one by one by one. Hurts.

That's, our brains have been. I was feeling. I was feeling one last night. Yeah, I started watching this new show on Hulu and I watched the first two episodes and realized that it was every week and Devastated me because I cannot remember week to week anything. Yeah, I need to be able to binge I actually think what the streaming services should do because when you binge you

You watch it so fast. You don't remember anything But when it's week to week you watch it so slow, you don't remember anything They need to basically put like we're a bunch of like Labradors trying to eat our food out of a bolt the spiral bowls it should be like once you start an episode you can watch three episodes in one day yeah and then the next day you can watch three episodes yeah I mean it's like a they basically control your binging I started the Patriots Dynasty show and then when I got to the end of the available ones I kept clicking on the third one even though it said like coming out March 3rd or whenever.

And I was like, no, that must be a mistake. Show me more. Do it Netflix or Apple. Do a controlled binge so we can save ourselves from ourselves, but also we can remember what the fuck's going on. Cause you guys know when you binge something, you do those like, you watch like four episodes

in one night and they're like, ah fuck, I'll do, there's a a cliffhanger I'll watch the fifth and barely remember it cuz you're falling asleep yeah give me three a day three a day would be perfect yeah I need more I need more stat really really well done it only gets up to the snowball is the end of the second episode so there's still a lot left 10 so they haven't even won a Super Bowl in the first two episodes no that's pretty crazy yeah and like I said that was I was I was nine a lot left in the first two episodes. What episodes are there? 10? So they haven't even won a Super Bowl in the first two episodes? No. That's pretty crazy.

Yeah. And like I said, that was, I was nine, my first, you know, the beginning montage was really, really good. And I was like, Holy, like first it hurt a little bit because I realized I was like, damn, this is just history now. This is not, this was my life.

This is what I lived every day being like, oh, this is the best team in the world. During that montage, I was like, oh, this is over. Like this is, we're watching a documentary.

All right Hank, I had this question popped in my head because did Matthew Slater retire today? Mm-hmm. Okay. Maybe, you can look it up, but how many Patriots on the current roster

have a Super Bowl? Like that will be the moment when if they, if you get to a point where it's, because it has to happen at some point in the next couple of years where no one on that team probably not that many. I was thinking about it, like if they go go if say the Patriots went to the playoffs in two years and everyone's like well it's the Patriots are in their playoffs like wait but none of these guys have been there for that yeah it can't be a bunch linemen and yeah like special teamers yeah cuz I they also cut a couple guys and I was like huh I wonder I wonder what the longest tenured Patriot is right now yeah I was like, huh, I wonder, I wonder what the longest ten-year Patriot is right now. Yeah, I was probably under 10. I mean David Andrews. That's what I'm saying.

Yeah, I'm just there. Lime's credit. Lime and probably definitely do. I would say it's under 10. Yeah, that's crazy to think. And they released their whole coaching staff and it was like all brand new faces. This documentary is one of the first times, maybe the first time that I've watched a documentary about something where I remember like every single minute of all this stuff happening. I remember when Tom Brady came in for Drew Bledsoe and... Linsanity. Linsanity, yeah, yeah.

No, no, I know you mean it. This is the first one where I watch like the clothes and technology Yeah, that people are using during the the footage and I'm like holy shit that feels like it looks like that's the 80s Yeah, like 1999 in terms of the big-ass like baggy white shirts and yeah the jeans that they're wearing the giant Cackies even they also had a hilarious clip of the sports reporter show Yeah, wouldn't like Bob Ryan was in it and I don't know, Lupica and a couple other guys where they're just in oversized suits. That's show rocked. And they're just sitting on a stage.

Costed. And that was the show. It was Sunday morning before. Yeah. I felt countenance. It was just a hilarious, like I remember the show vaguely but just watching it now being like, oh this was like, they should bring that show back.

Do you want to get hot takes off? Just put four old guys in chairs on the stage. And NFL matchup was also in that early Sunday morning well just four guys that are just like sitting in newsrooms just pissed off at the world yeah Colin let him go free there was some old vintage Collinsworth clips where he was saying like I don't think this is the right move to bench blood so like I don't know about this kid Brady and Collinsworth had a little bit less hair in the year 2000 oh which is interesting. Yeah

I sent you guys the chart of how the Patriots were built via the Patriots game notes So aside from Slater, no one's been on the team prior to 2015 so Yeah, but there's that they won three Super Bowls or two Super Bowls, right Joe Cardona. Is he still on the team? That was this was eyes of this year. Yeah, Lawrence Guy. He just got cut. Yeah.

So that was what it was. It wasn't Slater. He got cut and they were like, he was on the team for seven years. I was like, huh, I wonder at what point you get to like no one left. Okay, Hank, you ready? Yeah, there's only like six, right? Very few. Okay. Hank, you ready? Yeah, there's only if there's only like six, right? Very

few. Yeah. Very few. Okay. Ready, Hank? Yeah. You starting a 10 or one? 10. Let me start six. I want you to start at six. So go six to one, 10, nine, eight, seven. All right. eight seven all right number six a lot a lot of the defense a lot of defense a lot of the defense I took from the early the early dynasty okay but this this one guy two Super Bowls you wouldn't have one without him he stopped March on Lynch on the one yard line basically arm tackle the guy then took him down wow down Wow 84 to fumble against the Falcons Malcolm Butler Dante high tower. Oh Whoops to two plays were like when you're watching me like we need a miracle. He's the guy. He's the guy number six number six Wow, pretty high can't wait to see who's five four three two We just sense sweet. I'd see we debut this like one by one. Yeah we just do number six, tune in on Friday. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. Number five will be on Friday. Good start. Good start, Hank. Number six. We'll make a big thread out of it. That was you. Yeah. Yeah, but then people are going to get in my head. But no, I don't. You have your list. Send it to Jake and he'll make sure it stays locked in. Tune in Friday. We get number five. What you were saying about the Netflix thing. Yeah.

It's gonna be one thing if you learn to be pissed. This is how you do off season sports radios. Okay, you drag everything out for as long as possible. Like this is gonna be a month long. Hanks, top 10 Patriots, extra. And we're gonna find out one like, we're gonna find out one and still have to do 10, nine, eight, seven, six. Who do you think number one is, Big Cat do 10, nine, eight, seven, six.

Wait, who do you think number one is, Big Cat? One, two, three, four, five, okay, that was six. I'm very interested in who number two is. Well, you sent me 12. Oh. Yeah, well, one's an honorable mention and one's the lighthouse. I'll spoiler.

Okay. But that one doesn't really. The new one? Yeah. That hasn't won shit. We should have started with our honorable mentions. I only have one on the list. What's your honorable mention on Friday will debut Dante Hightower? Um, me is just my favorite

player as a kid. Bethel Johnson, kick trainer, electric. Okay. Okay. All right. So, so five, five on Friday. Five on Friday. All right. Defense. Oh, Teddy Bruce. No No Mike Rable. Nope Vince Wilfrick. Nope. Del revis. Nope Albert Hainesworth. No Malcolm Butler. Nope Richard Seymour nope Willie McGinnis nope Jared Mayo. Nope He's been in Chris long both episodes. I haven't watched yet. He's been in both episodes owns property owns property. I think that's probably all. Oh, uh, yeah. What? No, but we don't know. We don't know. We don't know who it is. Number five. Make him tune in. Which is four offense Yep, mmm. Oh, that's gotta be jewels Aircraft receiver and recurring guests of the show. It's got a quarter of Patterson

Dante stalwart so Grunks two or three He's got to be three and then Brady's gotta to be two. No brazed one raise one bills two Are these only players no players only players only players only players okay, we wouldn't do very well too Oh, no Vince Wolf or two no wrong three Brady one. I think Bronx probably to Brady one You have you guys both have one of those things. Okay. All right. Well Friday for number five Did you Vince Wolf Well, seven through 10. Yeah. Wow. I can't wait to do the only one to the art. The big thing that I had you had to factor in those like talent. Don't

spoil it. But like my grading system isn't based purely on stats. Rings is a major factor. Yeah. Vibes is a major factor. There's so many guys that won three Super Bowls. It's hard to credit them. I wouldn't. But we're an awesome Vibes guy. Could we get a breakdown? So on Friday when we do number five, can we get like, I would like in the balls scale one through five, like give us rings, give us vibes. Yeah. X factor. Will Fork is the only person to win in both dynasties besides Brady obviously, but that's a huge It's a big one. Yeah, I I can't he was he see one and then he suffered through the bad years which they were good years

But he came out the other side can you imagine the anticipation after Hank debuts his number eight Patriot and then we have to wait two more days to get the final and last number seven. Seven? Yeah, it's going to be crazy. All right. A lot of great players. Yeah. Let's do Hot Sea Cool Throne. Then we'll get to our interview with Keith Yandel. Hot Sea Cool Throne is presented by Coors Light from day to day, annoyances to the big stuff. Life throws your way. It's easy to get worked up, but there's a better way, a chiller way, turn that canceled concert into a parking lot dance party, too cold for an ocean swim, play volleyball and light a bonfire instead. That's choosing chill.

And when you choose chill, reach for a Coors Light when the mountains turn blue. It's as cold as the Rockies when you choose to rise above it all, choose chill, choose Coors Light, get Coors Light, deliver straight to your door with the Instacarp by going to CoorsLight.comorselight deliver straight to your door with the Instacarp by going to Corselight comm slash take Celebrate responsibly Corsi brewing company golden, Colorado Corselight comm slash take thank you to Corselight the coldest and best beer in the world Hank my hot seat is Anthony Rendon. Yeah, people are big man I feel like athletes say this exact quote all the time though. Yes, like I read it

It does seem like something that's getting a little bit over exaggerated, but he said baseball's never been a top priority for me. This is a job I do, is to make a living. My faith, my family come first before this job. So if those things come before it, I'm leaving. Mm-hmm. And people are freaking out.

He's got a $245 million contract. Makes a lot of money. Makes a lot of money, doesn't play a lot. He also complained earlier in the off season about wanting the season to be shorter, which is another thing most people want. Yeah. But I do feel like all players across the board,

it's like a stereotypical answer to be like, my family comes first, no matter what. I agree with that. I think the other problem he runs into, not just the money, is that he plays for the Angels. And that's like the vibe of the Angels. The Angels as an organization, baseball's not their top priority.

It used to be that way with the Padres too. But yeah, you can, I think a lot of players feel this way, but you probably shouldn't say it. Like right before the season starts. And after you're getting paid that much more. Yeah, you never had that problem with him in DC. Great player. Yeah, it also kept on going.

He said, is it a, the reporter said, is it a priority? He said, oh, it's a priority for sure because it's my job, I'm here, aren't I? Do you want to be here? I don't want to talk to you guys at seven in the morning or whatever time it is that that- Fair. And ruled.

It's relatable. Yeah. So I think maybe that part where he's like, I'm here. He also might just, he might've gotten bad vibes from the reporter. True. And just was giving him the most boring, easy answers. You don't talk about that enough. Bad vibes from a reporter.

That's what, that guy who went after James for scoring that touchdown. Yeah, bad vibes. Bad vibes. Okay, your cool throw. My cool throw, Dungeons and Dragons. Yeah. We, you know, we mentioned it,

but I, Sunday or Monday or Monday hung over from Sunday Were you hung over from Sunday or were you hung over from the things you did on Sunday? You were already hung over. No, you were drunk on Sunday. Yeah, so I was hung over yesterday got back Watched the Dungeons and Dragons. I was like, this is amazing Yeah, I hadn't seen it yet The graphics are so good and I feel like because we you know, it was like, this is amazing. I hadn't seen it yet. The graphics are so good. And I feel like because it was kind of during a break, we should give those guys their proper credit.

Yeah, shout out Trey. Worth the watch. They were incredible. I watched a good deal of it on Friday when it came out. I don't know how they do what they do. No. It's worth the watch. Go watch it. Thank you to Tim Woods, our champion. We'll probably do another one in

I don't know four or five months when we get to July 4th. So it was great to have him just around for a day. I wish we just hire him to just be a vibes guy. Yeah. Just have a game room with Tim Woods. Yeah. We should go larping with him. Yes. So he meant to do that for July 4th as well. Yes. We have to do it. We have to do it. Do like a two day long lark. It would be awesome.

Yeah, get dressed up. Yeah. Just battle people. It sounds awesome. Look at us, planning our next vacation, but also planning our next content for vacation. Love that. My other thoughts, I mean, in Brace to Bait,

I was getting shit. These new hats are on sale. And Gazz was saying I can't wear them because it's Chicago. Like South to the Chicago barstool. Yeah. Barstool Chicago. Yeah.

Those are good hats. Yeah, we have all of our St. Paddy's Day merch. Check it out. Go buy it. But now I live in Chicago, I can wear half of our St. Paddy's Day merch. We also did our St. Paddy's Day merch. Very mean.

We just used MOOC's face, who's one of our coworkers and it could be any Irish guy who's like this is MOOC, leprechaun. Oh, have you guys seen the Irish baby? No. Went viral yesterday? No. You guys got to check out the, just, just look on Twitter, search Irish baby.

Irish baby. Okay. It's this Irish baby that's, that's holding a Guinness and the, it looks like a 79 year old. Oh yeah. Yeah. The Irish baby rocks. This guy's got some stories to tell. That Irish baby could drink me under the table.

Yeah. Babe, wake up. The most Irish baby just dropped. Yeah, it's very Irish baby. Love it. My hot seat, thank you're done. Yep, my hot seat is Rick Petino. Rick Petino is back baby.

He's back giving some serious quotes and he dropped some heat a couple days ago. He said We are so unathletic. We can't guard anybody without fouling for me. I've always enjoyed the first year And I'm not gonna lie to you. This is the most unenjoyable experience of my lifetime that and that's he's got some pretty Unenjoyable experiences. Yes, and also some really enjoyable ones although brief. Yes, this has been so disappointing Look Joel slow laterally. he's not fast on the court. Chris Ledlum is slow laterally. Sean Conway is slow laterally.

Brady's physically weak. Drissa is slow laterally. And then he started talking shit about the team facilities. I mean, they did blow like a 20 point lead just pug seat and haul. Yeah. I also saw, cause he clearly made the guys like run a shitload in the gym after, he said finally broke 200 in stamina shooting tonight.

Nah Aline with 205 Sean Conway comes close to 190. We got to get this drill. Yeah. And do a challenge. And see if we get better at stamina shooting. Yeah, like can we break 200 stamina? It's got to be an insanely hard drill. If there's two words that come to mind when I think of Rick Petino, it's definitely stamina shooting. Yeah, he walked we break 200 sandwiches? It's gotta be an insanely hard drill. If there's two words that come to mind

when I think of Rick Petino, it's definitely stamina shooting. Yeah, he walked into that one. Yeah, come on, Rick. I slipped on it. My cool throne is the Orlando Airport. Oh. The Orlando Airport on the big time cool throne,

they're now selling passes for people to go inside the airport, shop and dine. Chillies? Without getting on a plane. Chillies is pre-security. Chillies do that. Okay so you can chili's already pre-security. Yeah oh got it. Okay well that's still awesome. It's still awesome. It's still it's so hot so you can go to the airport and eat the finest food. Yeah that's not awesome. That could be awesome. Wait the best part about the airport and do

go anywhere? The best part well we could be I'm gonna predict that we're gonna see an uptick in airport-related violence, because the one thing that airports have going for them right now is, you can talk all the shit that you want in an airport bar, and nobody's got a weapon. You know that no one's got a gun. No one's got a knife there. Now we're gonna see some stabbings in airports, which America's long overdue for.

The, imagine being late for your flight, and in TSA, there's a guy in front of you that just wants to go walk around the airport. Yeah. Drive you. I don't think those guys have to go through TSA. Oh they don't. I don't think so. I don't know how it's gonna work. Yeah. But yeah that would. Still would probably have to. Maybe. I got I got random check twice on the way home from Mexico. Yeah, the ID check. Yeah, yeah. I didn't have anything. Kind of always feel disappointed for the person

when they're checking your bag and you're like, I don't have anything. Yeah. Like I kind of wish I had something for you. They know that you don't have anything. Right, like it'd be cool if you pulled out like a long knife or something. Oh, shit, I forgot this in my bag.

Yeah, right. But I'm just like sitting there like, you're gonna be disappointed. I got nothing. I got groped on my way back. Big time groped going through security. I grew. It was it was a guy. It has to be a guy. Yeah. So you go through this scanner. And then it it shot off the alerts right on my dick and then right on my butt. And the guy looked at he looked at me he was like, I'm gonna have to give you

an extended pat down now and explain what was gonna happen and then he did it and they really press like it was very awkward being around all these other people the guys just like ramming his hand into your dick repeatedly yeah that was tough that was a tough move I wish that I had something that I was packing that could be like oh shit yeah that's my gun yeah but, it was just pressing my balls. You know who I saw who's right behind me in security coming back from Mexico? Your guy, Michael Porter Jr.

Oh really? I had already burned my, you wanna come on our podcast for the month, so I didn't say anything. You didn't say anything? Yeah, I did. I'm still a little gun. I think you get one of those a month.

Yeah, did you? If you had like a microphone. You used it on Mark Davis. If you had a microphone in your backpack, you could have been like, oh yeah, they found my microphone. I forgot to take that out because I do a podcast Michael if you're interested new yeah, that's gonna kind of suck though cuz like no one really recognized them like I don't know Just tall you're an NBA champion. I feel like you want to get recognized a little bit. Maybe yeah Yeah, have you ever been to the Knoxville Airport? No. So that one is...

Yes. That TSA line is impressive. Yes, I have. Because they've got, as you're winding through the ropes, they've got all these pictures of guns that they've confiscated from people flying out of that airport. And I was like, this is a fuckload of guns. There were like, there were like 10 pictures there. And then I look closer and every single gun had been confiscated within like the last two months Whoa, they find a lot of guns at that airport

You just forget your gun have you guys noticed the pre-check and clear lines being longer than regular? Yeah Yeah, no, no, I went to regular this morning. No, it's clear plus is coming. Yeah, it's already here. I've both No, no plus plus. No, it's already here clear plus clear plus plus Well, whatever they're gonna, they're setting it up so that they're going to make you buy another. What I noticed, they rebranded clear as now clear plus. And you get confused when you go to the airport. It's like, I don't know if I have clear plus.

But that means that there's another level coming. That implies clear minus. They're intentionally making it harder for TSA and clear so that we are going to buy a new one. Yeah, I have to. Yeah, it's not really valuable. Savvy by them. Savvy by them. Okay. So my hot seat is the Chicago Cubs because we are on day, I believe 143 with Cody Belanger not being signed and he is still a free agent.

They had pictures and catchers were getting to the point. I really, really want the Cubs to sign them. We're getting to the point. I really, really want the Cubs to sign them. We're getting to the point. This is my favorite part of Free Agency, where we have radio hosts offering free things. So David Kaplan, friend of mine, he said that Lumell Nadi's wife has offered free pizza for life for Cody Bellinger if he signs.

Is that code? I don't know. Is it like Hillary Clinton Q and on shit? Free pizza for life. I am here right now, because I want Cody Bellinger to be a cub. I'm gonna offer something that I never thought I would offer,

and I'm nervous about this, because I don't think you'll agree, but I'm gonna do it. Cody Bellinger, because you're listening to this show. If you sign with the Chicago Cubs, I will send you Hank's Patriot List 5 through 10. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. How are you going to get it?

Jake. And you know what? Haha, you idiot, you sent it to Jake already. You know what? I'm going to match. Yeah. I'm going to match. No, I'll send them 5 through 1.

Will you send them 10 through 7? I'll send them 10 through 7 plus honorable mention plus you get a bonus lighthouse. Yeah, you won't have to wait any longer Cody Please sign with the cubs. So it's Cody Blake snow. Yeah, still hasn't signed. There are a few other guys like big names that haven't signed yet I don't know what's going on. Why not? Why not Cody? You can also use our golf simulator at any time to be fair the owners are poor and they don't have enough money to pay Yeah, Tom Ricketts broke boy. Yeah, I think they're all Boris guys too. No, they are.

They are? Yeah, I know Cody's a Boris guy and I think that's what's really holding it. So this is the C word then. I like you Tom Ricketts, if you pay for Cody Bellinger. This would be collusion. Yeah. Against Scott Boris.

Or Scott Boris is colluding against them to then claim counter colluding. So Scott Boris is asking for so much money that he can then say they're colluding against them to then claim counter colluding. So Scott Boris is asking for so much money that he can then say they're colluding against me and then he can follow lawsuit against them. What if Scott Boris isn't even answering the phone and he's like, they're blackballing you, we're gonna take him to court.

Scott Boris might be texting owners and the owners are just so untext savvy that they don't look at their phones. Yeah. Like I don't know how to do the email on the phone. Just call me. I think Scott Bors is probably playing it right because all these guys are gonna like once the season starts

be like, would we rather have Cody Bellinger or not? Yeah, I think we would. Let's pay him. There's a lot of good players out there. Yeah. They should actually just do this every year. Bors should just make his own team. Bors all stars.

Yeah. Well, then he'd have to pay them. True, true. But then he gets a 10% cut, so it's really a discount. That's true, that's true. All right, my cool throne is Sidney Sweeney's boobs. Oh, why? That picture of her in the red dress,

which I was getting shamed for, like, come on guys, the day you stop liking tits, kill me. I think, and I die. I'm gonna say something controversial. Yeah. I think Sidney Sweeney is very attractive. Yeah, she's in her boobs. I think she's a wonderful looking actress.

She's hosting SNL. What's with guys snitching, dry snitching online now? Oh yeah, welcome to my world. Yeah, bullshit. Yeah, I can't like a Miley Cyrus series of pictures from the Grammy Awards. Well this is why maybe we the boss of the bonk list No, I think I think we need to embrace the box. Yeah, like if you're not getting bonked then there's something wrong with you

I'm a red blooded American male. Okay, we're trying to shame me age shame me kids shame me I like shame me I boobs or boobs I hit like on tweets and on pictures on Instagram not because I'm horny But because I'm trying to support them. Yeah, and to be like hey great job posting this picture Also city sweet is like the most famous person right now. It's not like a random porn star true What what's that heck what it's, listen, I am with you.

Dry snatching shouldn't be happening because of the bonk list. I get sent a lot of big cats likes on Instagram and there's a lot of randoms put it that way. Not that many. Also, RIP, Cagney, Lynn Carter, porn star, she died. Why don't we? Why don't we do highlight tapes after she could be cremated? No, but saying like

Like when Kobe died all we always always like highlights a Kobe. Yeah mom of mentality, right? Porn stars don't deserve that. They should yeah, they should just saying Right Yes, it isweeney's hot. There I said it. She's really hot. I think she's very attractive. I think she's very talented.

Very talented, but also very hot. I think that we should do a better job so as to see a new movie. Supporting. Is the one where she wears like a non-uniform the whole time? I think it's a Spider-Man movie. Oh, isn't there one that just came out where she wears like a non-uniform all time?

Yeah. I don't think I'm gonna see that one I'd watch her wearing none None clothes. Oh, take that out. That was too horny. It's called immaculate immaculate Theater is March 22nd. No, she is a very good extra. I mean listen euphoria. What was the white Lotus? When's that coming back? Yeah, white Lotus needs to be back. What Lotus was awesome But don't make us wait in between episodes. Yeah. Okay.

I think they released what the hotel was. Oh, they did? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, somewhere like that. Jake. My Hansi. What do you think about Cindy Sweeney's boobs?

Yeah. Okay. All right. Nice. There's Jake's review. That's a yeah. Hey, Max, what do you think about Cindy Sweeney's boobs? I'm not this out on them. Yeah, you're out? No, I like Jake's review. That's Mr. Position. That's a yeah. Hey Max, what do you think about Cindy's sweet news? That's out on them.

Yeah, you're out? No, I like them. Yeah, how much do you like them? They're nice boobs. For a while we were shaming women for their breast size. I think Hank was talking about Madame Webb, by the way. Oh, that's the- Spider-Man.

I'm not gonna see that either. How's she just in every movie? She's hard work Incredibly hard work three movies in the past three months. Yeah, she's incredibly hard-working Jake your hot seat cool, too. My hot seats Notre Dame We had the official announcement of how the college football playoff is going to construct their 12 team bracket And it was announced that the four highest ranked conference champions will be seeds one through four which means if Notre Dame is the best team in the country

I thought it was five They would get the number five I think it's five, yeah It's five Five seats, so Notre Dame would get the six That would be very funny if they just designed these rules and they're like, hey, fuck you, Florida, say it again Like, we're gonna take all the other conferences, but yeah, Notre Dame Well, there's only four left, Major

Yeah, Notre Dame, are they going to have to join the ACC? I think they would join the Big Ten before the ACC. And then, so they take all their other sports out of the ACC. Yeah, because I don't think the ACC is long for this world. Yeah. It would be crazy if they joined the ACC. So that would be wild though if they joined the Big Ten, then you'd have like Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, only one of them would get the top seed.

Correct. Yeah, wild. Also, it's a good way to do it. Pick out. I'm surprised you didn't put Justin Fields on the Bears on your hotseat. Oh yeah. Well, Jake, funny you say that, he unfollowed the Bears. You know, he didn't unfollow me.

Sick. Yeah. I didn't know, Tom Fresnel, he actually told me that. That was my other thing, watching the, the Dynasty dynasty document. Oh that wasn't about the Patriots. Well no I'm wondering like it's like it was it was good that the Brady had time to develop. He wasn't Tom Brady you know even that was the second year in the league. If you have a rookie quarterback with a lot of pressure it's it's hard. It was an incredible. I was thinking about you when I was watching that documentary

and being like, damn. Justin Fields. I really wish we could somehow take events that happened in the past, bring them to modern day and know what the discourse would be around this. It's like the Tom Brady game manager, Super Bowl winning discourse would be so fun to play. Oh, they threw that line in too.

And like Tom Brady is doing a really good job managing this game in Yeah. In one of the game. Yeah. He would have been going crazy for it. But yeah, that's a good point about the bear's neck. Yeah, Justin Pills did unfollow the bears. Yeah. I don't think it's, I think he's probably going to get traded. So that's what I said. I mean, it could mean literally anything. So it sounds like you're going to get Caleb. Yeah. It could mean anything like he doesn't want to play for the bears anymore. That could be one of the things or he hates the bears.

It's the most passive. I mean all of these things.. That could be one of the things or he hates the Bears. It's the most passable. I think this is the this is my least favorite recurring storyline in sports when an athlete unfollows his teammates and like the team official account on social media platforms and then people do it in a story and it's like what does it mean? Well, it means that he did that because he wanted you to see that he did that and then to make a story out of it. Also, maybe it's just as simple as Justin Fields doesn't wanna watch Bears Highlights in his off season. Cause it's not a lot of them.

Yeah, that's true. Like, I just, I kinda wanna opt out on this content for a little bit. The content was bad. Well, you could mute it and it wouldn't be a story. You could mute it. I would never unfollow any professional team that I played for.

And it's like once always. Who unfollows people on social media? Like if I follow you on Instagram, I'm never unfollowing ever. Ever. I'm too lazy to do it. Even if you are a porn star and die. Yeah.

I'll just keep that respect. Because what if one day it posts again? Right. That's gotta be such a nice surprise. All right, Jake, your cool throne? My cool throne's the shot of a lifetime. Oh. I'm back in the booth.

Jake is. Oh. For some golf. Nice. Next week on PGA Tour Live. Wow. Yes. Hell yes.

It does not mean anything when you win the in-season tournament. Oh, yeah. Max does have to hang a banner second place. Yeah. No. We agreed upon that, Max. I never agreed on anything.

Many year hockey pro, how many years? 13, 13 year hockey pro in the NHL?

16. 16 years. So Yans, I wanna give you and credit off the bat we were it's the perfect spit and chiclets universe okay down to you you come in at the end here uh biz was supposed to come on he was feeling under the weather because he had to work two days in a row so I was like he texted me this morning he's like hey, Hey, I can't do it. I'm feeling sick. So I texted wit, wits on a boat in Florida. And he's like, right after the boat, I'm going to golf and he's like, but Yans is the best. I was like, yeah, I know Yans is the best. So I texted you and you came to our rescue, but you also gave me a little nugget of information that you have never in your life owned a computer

Yeah, never have never will I think the most brilliant thing you can ever do So what are you doing this on right now? His wife's computer My wife's What does that mean? You've never owned a computer. You've never wanted to own a computer? No, no, zero interest Until I have to get a job

That's your computer though. Like if it's your wife's computer, that's a family computer, right? No, it's like her work lab talks. So us calling you up, like she's got to take a break from work right now because you got to use the one computer in your house? Well, the kids have them too,

but I think they're at school. I was on a boat and golf this morning but still found a way to make this show that's a grinder that's a hockey player what about growing up like growing up you didn't have a computer for book reports things like that no did you guys have computer actually we got we got one when I got drafted it was like because the year I got drafted was the walkout year so they did it all online and my parents went out and bought a computer to see where I was going to because the year I got drafted was the walkout year, so they did it all online, and my parents went out and bought a computer to see where I was gonna get drafted.

Yeah, I mean, we are all of similar age, and it was, I remember we got our first computer in my house, he was like late, late 90s, and it was just one computer for everyone. So when you start looking poor and you're like, oh, this is gonna be bad to get a virus, you're like, fuck the next person, like my mom's gonna look up a recipe on this computer

and there's gonna be popups everywhere. That was just, you had to go through some shit with the one family computer. Oh yeah, it was a grind downloading on Napster, just hearing your dad coming up the stairs, trying to delete things. It wasn't good. So wait, when you were on the road for 16 years the NHL You never like hey, maybe I should get a computer like what did you do when you were on planes like watch a movie?

You just you just don't have a computer Well when it first started it was remember everyone had those DVD players that like you flip off and then there'd be a so everyone would buy their own DVD player and then there'd be a ton of DVDs on the plane. So I just bring that and then I mean I have a iPad. Oh, okay. That's computer adjacent. Does the iPad have like the keyboard that connects to it? No, God, no, I can't even type.

board that connects to it. No, God, no, I can't even type. Because I fall asleep to my iPad, I have it on like the desk next to my bed and I just I strictly have it for that. I have Netflix, Amazon, HBO, whatever, just on that just to watch before bed. We got to get a typing contest between you and biz because even though biz owns, I'm assuming he's owned several computers in his lifetime I think you could still beat him. Yeah, his buttons are probably all stuck together though. That's facts That's facts from the flu. All right, so we wanted yans on to talk a little hockey. So We're now Getting to the end of February. We're getting what a month and a half away from playoff hockey getting to the end of February, we're getting what a month and a half away from playoff hockey. My first question was, what is the dog days of hockey?

What part of the season? Because we know it with, you know, football season, you'll get to midseason and you'll see some guys hitting the wall. Baseball, you get to like mid, early, mid August and it's like, oh man, this is a grind. What is that in the calendar for hockey players? I think they've gotten a lot better with it, um, especially, you know, my first, you know, maybe seven, 10 years that it was just a grind, especially I was, we were on some bad teams in Phoenix and guys are getting traded guys.

They're hearing about getting traded. So there's a lot, there's a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes where you're like, Oh God, you know, every day is just kind of like, and that was before the old, nowadays you get four days off a month, that was before that. So you will practice in every day if your team was bad,

but nowadays it seems like, you know, the teams are well aware of that. And, you know, they're putting together whether it's, you know, family trips, mother trips, father trips, siblings trips. I think they're doing a lot of good things like that. But I remember a couple of times in Phoenix, we'd go to Vegas for a couple of days,

kind of have a team bonding, play some golf, hit the casino. New York was really good with it as well. If you had a couple of games where you're in strictly cold weather, we'd come down to Florida a couple of days early to go all for whatever. So I think the teams have done a really good job, and it's probably because a lot of GMs are ex-players now, so they kind of realize that those dog days are real.

But I think the majority of the thing is keeping it. The best thing was to have a rookie party around this time. But if your team's out of it, then you know, the coach is like, all right, we can't go too hard. You guys are playing like shit. But and then if you're, you know, at the top of the ranks, then you're like, all right, we don't want to go too hard. We don't want to take our foot off the pedal here. So there's kind of a little bit of a gray area in both. But it seems to me the last, you know, probably 10 years, the league's gotten really good about kind of taking care

of these dog days and making things light and easy for the guys. Yeah, you were talking about the rookies, the guy on the Bruins that made his debut yesterday. Is it is it Morelle? Yeah. Yeah. So he scored in his debut and I was I was watching and I thought to myself like I feel like there's a lot of rookies who score in their debut. Is that just is that a thing I'm making up or is that an actual thing in the NHL? It does seem a little bit more nowadays before it was I think my first game I probably played seven minutes but you know nowadays that they're throwing guys into the fire getting guys getting guys right into it playing on the top Lines, you know not really putting guys on fourth lines where they don't aren't getting chances

So I think they're setting guys up for first for success But yeah, it definitely definitely seems that way and how about the kid in in New York playing his first game the outdoor game fought for a second of the game I Think it was on the anniversary of his dad passing away like six years before that too in New York playing his first game, the outdoor game, fought first, second of the game. I think it was on the anniversary of his dad passing away like six years before that too. So that was a cool story as well. Yeah, yeah. I mean, Hockey always has those cool stories that pop up. I wanted to go back when you said, you know,

you played on some bad teams. How much does this part of the season suck if you're a bad team? Because I know like the Blackhawks are a very bad team. Connor Bernardo obviously just came back, which is good, but like our guys like this just fucking sucks. I want to get out of here so bad. Yeah, you see a lot of guys either planning to go play world championships or planning their summer vacation right after the season. So it's tough. And then the worst part is if your team's bad, then at the end of the day, it means people are going to get

traded and you're losing friends. You've got to pack up your family and move. So a lot of things like that. And then teams are bringing up guys from the minors, then you're worried about your job. So there's no real downtime. If your team's playing bad, you still got to produce and go out there and give 100% effort.

But there's definitely some times during the seasons where you're like, oh man, we're really doing this again. I can imagine, yeah, especially like around this time of year where if there's no like real light at the end of the tunnel, you're just like, I guess I got to be a pro. I guess I have to show that I'm professional. Yeah. Yeah, you're waiting for the 15th and 30th payday. Yeah, pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. We have this debate with every hockey guest that we have on here. What is the difference between an upper and a lower body injury? I think anything below the belly button is a lower body injury and anything above the belly button is upper body injury. Okay, I agree with that because we've had people that say waste and I think that's bullshit. I think

it's the I think it's the belly button. Yeah, all right. So we're on the same page. Yeah, good call. Did you ever get injured? And you were like, can I just say what it is? This is bullshit. Like people don't because sometimes I'll see like an upper body injury. I'd be like, oh, he can get back out there. But like, no, his his shoulders broken. Why don't they just say that? Yeah, I don't know why. Because at the end of the day that the other teams know, like, you know, if a guy's shoulders hurt the way he's, you know, lumbering around out there or if his, his knees hurt, especially now with video, you see a guy going into the boards the wrong way, like, oh, he hurt his knee there or hurt his ankle or hurt his

shoulder. So I think throughout the league, everyone kind of knows, but I don't know why they don't say it in the media, but, you know, it's kind of one of those cool things that hockey does where he keeps guys on the wrap. I think originally it started so, you know, if guys were up for a contract and, you know, they couldn't use it against you. Oh, that makes sense. I always assumed it was so that the other team wouldn't target you.

If they knew it was a knee, then somebody might make a run at your knee. Yeah, but everyone on the ice knows if you're hurt. I mean, by this time in the season, pretty much everybody's hurt. Anyways, you have some lingering bruises or, you know, you're not feeling 100%. So every single guy's feeling something right now. But yeah, it's interesting. every single guy's feeling something right now, but yeah, it's interesting. If they ever come out and go away with it

and tell you what exactly the injury is, I'll be interested to see if they ever do that. Was there ever a season or a guy who just wouldn't get injured? Cause I feel like everyone knows that one guy who just never, you know, the kid who never broke any of his bones playing sports or, you know, that one guy who just is, for some reason never gets injured. Would you guys all look at him and be like fuck

you dude like we're all dealing with something and you're fresh well I was I had the Iron Man streak until Phil Castle broke it so you were the guy that everyone hated probably but I don't know because I mean I didn't really play the type of game where I was putting myself in vulnerable spots and you know, yeah, there was a lot of guys. I think every guy plays with, you know, as much pain as they can. And it's usually the doctors or the trainers that have to tell you you can't go. I've never seen a guy go win and be like, Hey, I can't play tonight. It's usually they have to drag you off the ice and, you know, can't tie your skates because your your fingers are broken or something like that so it's usually the doctors or the GM and Trainers that make that decision for guys because hockey hockey players are stubborn but there's stubborn bunch of group. Yeah, we learned that mighty ducks Yeah, we had Adam Banks hold the hold the stick and he had a rotate like now you can't go dude What was the dumbest injury you played through?

The dumbest one. Looking back when I was in New York, I had a grade three separation. I got a first game of the playoffs and we ended up going to game seven of the Eastern Conference finals. So every day was shooting it or not every day. Every game I was shooting it up, you know, having to have the trainers help me put my jersey on. Things like that. But it's also it's during playoffs. So you just want to be out there. You want to be playing. You want to be contributing. So but that one was probably the worst one and, you know, getting back healthy from that one took a little bit longer because it was something I was dealing with for quite a bit. Yeah, I know that you're a sports fan.

You're balls deep in the discourse about other sports too. We've had some discussions about how analytics might be ruining or might be improving football, basketball. Ruining basketball. Ruining basketball, I think improving but also ruining football because big guys can't get NFL head coaching jobs anymore. But in the NHL, what is it? What is the what impact has the analytics revolution had on the sport?

Is it good or is it bad? I hate it. I know nothing. Too many computers. I know a guy who doesn't know computer. That's a shocker. I probably wasn't a great analytic guy either. But I think it's a great guy. the I think there's some good things about it, I guess, but I honestly couldn't even tell you one what what an analytic really is.

I love that. What, what, you can't if you walked past an analytic on the street, you would not recognize it. Absolutely not. They have whole team with like a whole group of people within the teams now that kind of take care of that. And they're literally just in their computers all day. It's like just go get real job. The one thing that analytics has done in hockey is it's ruined the shoot the puck guy in the stands because they I feel like teams are a lot more selective with their shots. They

won't shoot from bad angles like they used to where it's like pucks on net. It's like, no, you got to get the good shots. I don't know. I kind of disagree with that because I remember guys would, you know, you take a shot on net is consider the good thing for your analytics, like the zone time and stuff like that. So some guys, you know, guys would shoot it from the corner just to shoot on the net and you'd get back to the bench. Guys would be like, oh, what are you patting your fucking

analytic? So, oh, so maybe I'm wrong. Yeah. Maybe I don't know an analytic in hockey either Yeah, but the shoot the shoot guy the shoot guys the worst The worst thing you can have that at a hockey especially as a guy that I never I wasn't a big shooter I was more of a passer, but uh the shoot guys the worst Oh, I love I love the shoot to puck guy because that guy's sitting in the stands being like every shot in his head goes in So why not shoot the puck good things happen

Yeah, I'm big. I'm big on it in soccer too. Like why not just fucking shoot the ball. They should shoot more The ball fucking kick it all right So I know it's tough and hockey because hockey is the one playoffs where you get crazy runs you get eight seeds winning the Stanley Cup But if we're sitting right here right now, give me the list of teams that you could see winning the Stanley Cup this year. It could go as long or as short as you wanted to. All right, I'll just do two. I'll do two from the east, two from the west.

Oh, I like that. I'm going to do Florida, I think that, especially what they did last year, what they've done this year, even missing two of their best defensemen earlier in the year, just playing the way that they have. I think Bobrowski's been amazing. Barkov, Sam Reinhardt's got 30-something goals. Just a hard team to play against there. Like you watch their games and it's fucking old school hockey, like stop in front of the net,

cross-checking guys in the face, it's great. So I got them in the Rangers coming out of the East that I like both. I think the Rangers have a ton of depth up front. You know, goal tending has been, you know, I think Shresth Erkin, well, Jonathan Quick has been amazing for them. I think Shresth Erkin could be a little better,

but it's one of those things when you get into playoffs and you have a guy like Shresth Erkin who's as good as he is, if he goes on a run, it's a, you know, it could be game over for them. And then, oh, West, I really like Dallas. I liked them a lot last year too. With Autinger, I think he's one of the best goalies in the league.

He's a young guy, had a good run last year. But I think he's just going to continue to get more confident in the playoffs. I think they have a great older guys and younger guys kind of leading that team. Guys with Jamie Ben and then Robinson with the younger guys, Roupe Hens. It's a, you know, they're a fun team to watch.

And then, you know, I think it's hard to, it's hard to bet against Vegas, but I think Colorado, the way that they're buzzing this year, you know, if they could get Landis Cog back for playoffs, you know, that would be a would be a huge ad for them. But it's also too, a lot of these teams, I feel more and more the trade deadline used to be the top four teams are going out making huge splashes. I think teams nowadays are kind of sticking with what they would have gotten them there,

kind of trusting, trusting within. So it'll be interested to see the trade deadline, what teams are doing. But but a lot, I think a lot of pieces are out there too. Also Vancouver to Vancouver, what they've done this year. But I don't think Canada is going to win a Stanley Cup anytime soon. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. The line being in March is pretty crazy. It is wild. Yeah. Because just like that's that's very late

It feels like in the season where you're you're looking around and it's like you got what a month before the playoffs And you can still make a move. Yeah, and you see more and more I think teams are making trades earlier Rather than waiting to the trade then that used to be 50 trades every trade deadline now It's you know, there's not many. So I think teams are doing it earlier as opposed to late nowadays. We saw a big trade, you know, with Calgary and Vancouver and right before the All-Star game. So I think teams are going a little bit more towards the

getting guys in, having them get comfortable and getting adjusted to the team system. So you didn't say Connor McDavid and the Oilers. Whitney's told us that he's the greatest player to ever play any sport. Yeah. Wouldn't he have won a championship by now? I know.

MJ won his first one at what, 26? I think it was 27. Yeah. 27. How old is Mac Jesus? He's I think he's younger than that. Right. Connor McTv. But he's better than MJ. That's what we're 27 years old. Is he 20? So this is the year. I don't I think that they're

in the think their gold tending might hurt them a little bit. Obviously the run that they've been on since the beginning of the season when they were absolute dog shit, they've been great. I think McDavid and Drysettle can lead any team to victory, but I think their goal tending is a little, you know, it's just not quite there. But you look at the last, you know, few Stanley Cup winners besides Tampa with Vassilevsky. A lot of these teams, a goalie comes out of nowhere and helps them win. Vegas, I think, was on their third-string goalie last year. Even St. Louis, when Bennington came in out of nowhere and won them a cup, even Chicago, and they wanted, they had Crawford, who was an amazing goalie,

but he wasn't a top three goalie in the league. He wasn't making the most money in the league. So I think a lot of it, if your goalie gets hot, obviously you got a good chance, but I don't see it as much in Edmonds. And if I had to take a Canadian team, it would be Vancouver, and mostly because of their goal tending

You know with Demko. He's amazing and American So yeah, you haven't mentioned the Leafs and it feels like every year I fall for the Leafs bullshit because they always have some bullshit where it's like, oh, yeah This is the year they could put together. They've got a lot of talent Austin Matthews Probably like right now the hottest player the NHL What give me a reason why the Leafs will not win the Stanley Cup? To be honest I think it would strictly be because their fan base is too hard on them. I think some of those teams like I

worked in I worked in Toronto last year doing sports net and they have one bad period of one bad game there sell the farm you know blow up the team get rid of everyone I think Brad tree living and Shane Dome what they've done since getting in there in management have been really good just kind of settling things down getting guys accountable there I think they look a lot better this year as a team accountable. I think they look a lot better this year as a team. Obviously what Austin Matthews is doing is insane right now. He's got 50 goals right in 54 games. It's unbelievable what this guy's doing with how good the goalies are, you know how

much team scout players, everyone you know is fully of what he can do to you every night, but no matter what, he can still find a way to score. But I just don't know if they can get past that hump and win it this year. I actually would love to see them win it. I think it would be great for the game. They put on, I was up there a couple of weeks ago for All-Star Weekend. They put on an amazing show, but yeah, I think their fans just need to be a little bit nicer than the players. I love that. I love that. Yeah.

Eagles fans. Definitely not an analytics guy. What's the reason that Leafs can't win the Stanley Cup? Their fans are asshole. They're too mean. Yeah. Yeah. It sounds like they're Eagles fans where it's like, you know, first, first sign of bad things like fire everyone. Yeah, like Max. Yeah, exactly. Like Max. By the way, Conor McDavid is incredible. I got to see him in person like three weeks ago and it is insane watching him play in person because you're like, Holy fuck. He's just so much

faster than everyone. It's if you took if you took someone to their first ever hockey game and it was Conor McDavid, they just they would immediately be like that guy. Why is he so different than everyone else? Yeah, I did, I did a hockey camp this summer with my brother and we had some seven year olds, eight year olds and, you know, we do an a scrimmage or a keep away. And I was kind of just going full speed trying to keep it away from these guys. And it looks easier for McDavid keeping it away from NHL players than it did for me with

seven-year-olds. On a different level, it's unbelievable how fast he is, how controlled he is with the puck while he's skating 100 miles an hour. He's an impressive player. I think Whit saying that he's the best athlete ever is not far fetched You know, I think what he's doing to hockey is insane right now and You know, hopefully he can get one championships. Well, so I mean we asked with this and we can ask you it Like if he's the best player in the world right now, why does he come off the ice?

Good question. Mm- question. Yeah. How many missed his LeBron play per night? Yeah. Patrick Mahomes doesn't miss a snap. A lot more. I think just strictly because he's a good teammate. He wants to get his guys out there. He knows that there's, you know, 21 other guys that got to make a living. So he's probably just out there being a good teammate, just letting guys get a touch. So he's probably just out there being a good teammate, just letting guys get a touch. But if anyone could play the whole game, it would probably be him.

But I was actually, I was just the way, talking with one of my buddies who knows nothing about hockey and he was like, how come you guys only stay out there for 30 seconds? And it's a good question, but it's a tiring 30 seconds. You know, you're getting leaned on by big, heavy guys. You're skating as fast as you can. You know, if you stay out there for more than a minute,

no matter how good a shape you are, you're dead. Yeah, what it when you're when you're in the defensive zone, what what time is it like this is worth so fucked when because there is nothing better in like playoff hockey, especially when a team can get, you know know they're in the zone for so long and they can't clear the puck and you're just like watching guys die at what moment like what time in that where you're like I'm so fucked it's going to be a goal there's nothing we can do yeah it's called the graveyard shift you just trying not to die and biz says it all the time.

He's like, you lose oxygen to your brain. You don't know what you're doing. The puck comes to you. You give it to the other team when, you know, if you had any, any, uh, if you had some freshness in your legs or in your brain, you would, you would make a good play. But when, when those are happening, when you're on the ice, when you're, uh, when the team's snapping around, you can't get,

you can't get out of the zone and you can't get a whistle. It's one of the worst feelings in the world and I pro my analytics are probably very high for being out there for those chefs Which is the longest you've ever been on the ice? Oh, I don't know In the NHL probably, you know, two or three minutes What are the empty nets empty? No. I mean, there's probably obviously whistles and stuff like that too. But, you know, end of games when you're when you're out there, there's a power play, you're staying the full two minutes. But yeah, probably two

and a half, three minutes. Oh, I'm a long as time. I'm looking right now. Last year, Jack Hughes broke the record, he had a shift of six minutes and two seconds That's insane That's unreal good for him. Yeah. Hey, I got a question for you How come whenever the the puck goes out of play everybody on the ice just puts their hands up in the air and like yells at the ref like the ref Didn't see it for a penalty. Oh, yeah, just delay a game. No, they're trying to be like, hey, it went out Yeah, they're just trying to say I don't't know, that's actually that's a good, good question. Everyone does it. You're 100% right. It's, it's

probably just make sure that because a lot of times it could get tipped by a stick or hit a piece of the glass. And if it hits the glass or a stick, then it's not a penalty. So I think when everyone's pointing, it's kind of just a indication to tell the ref that it went straight out and it should be a penalty. I always assumed it's no different than when there's a fumble in football and everyone points to their direction. It's like no one actually knows. They're just trying to get the ref to be like, oh yeah, he pointed first. Yeah, when they're in the scrum, you mean? Yeah, right. If you point first over the glass, the ref's gonna be like, oh, maybe it did go out.

Yeah. But when a guy shoots it over the net, you can, you can, if you see their face, they know exactly what they did. That's, that's one of the worst feelings in the world is shooting, shoot one over the, over the glass and getting a penalty. Yeah. Yeah. You also didn't mention the Boston Bruins. Curious why, why they're not on the list. I actually, in the beginning of the year, I didn't even see them being as good as they are I thought they were gonna be you know a wild card team You know very impressed what they've done this year. I thought I thought losing Bergeron was really gonna hurt them but You know what pasta does every year is amazing Marshawn stepping in as a captain this year

I also thought they did a good job of bringing in Some older veteran guys, which not a lot of teams are doing. They brought in JBR, Kevin Chattenkirk, guys that have been around, guys that know what it takes. So I think they did a good job with bringing in older guys to help out their younger guys because you're looking at the beginning of the year, I think the kids' names Poitwa or something like that. He started off hot, had a good first 10 games, but when you're young, anyone can have good 10 games.

You need those veteran guys around to help you out during the dog days of the year like they are now. And I think the Bruins did a good job of that. I think the East is gonna be tough to get, to get out of. You saw a little bit last year with the way that they do their two goalie system, doesn't quite work in playoffs. You gotta have that one guy.

So, I mean, we'll see. I don't think anyone will wanna play them in the playoffs, but I don't see them going on a deep run. And probably good that I live in Florida and I'm not Boston, because I'd't see them going on a deep run and probably good that I live in Florida now not boss because I'd be getting my head punched in. All right. One guy wanted to bring up because we just saw his jersey get retired in Pittsburgh yarn, yarn, your yoga. It was awesome. They all wear mullets. They came out. He seems like an absolute legend of a guy. You got to play with him. Is it is our like view of of Yager like correct that he is just a guy everyone loves not

only because he was so talented but just a good dude in the locker room. He was amazing. He was the way I describe it. He was like a little kid. He was just a little kid. But when I played with him, I think he was 67 years old. So like, he would sit on, I'll never forget to be like, Hey, Yenzie, Yenzie, want to go get a muffin, want to go get a muffin? He'd sit on the back of the bus and he'd eat his muffins like a little

kid. Unbelievable. But good, good, Yager story. I think it was uh Foxwood's or Mohegan's son when he was in either Pittsburgh or New York they were opening up their casino and they waited for a night that Yager was playing in Boston and could make the trip up there and kind of you know be part of the first the open night I'm like oh that's pretty cool they wanted you there he's like they didn't want me there they wanted all my money He probably gave it to him. Oh, yeah Yeah, the quote that he had where he was like, yeah, I want to take my girlfriend too She's too young to remember when I played in Pittsburgh. I think she would have liked it. Yeah rock There was a clip I saw that someone was like, yeah, Yager used to have a party every year

And it was a hundred people and there was no more than ten dudes Yeah Yager used to have a party every year and it was a hundred people and there was no more than ten dudes Yeah Yeah, he the girlfriend that he had when I play with him same thing. She was probably 22 23 and Yeah, and this guy like he would make her come to the rink with him He'd go with the rink at midnight and just go skate around and she'd have to sit in the stands and video And I'm like Yags, what does she do he I'm like, Yogg's, what does she do? He's like, oh, you want to see if she's strong?

She's strong too. And he's 250 pounds. We're at our Halloween party. And he's like, you want to see how strong she is? I'm like, yeah, sure. He just jumps on his back and she started doing squats with him on his back. I'm like, what is going on in there?

How? That's incredible. Love loved the game more than anyone. Probably the biggest rink rat I've ever seen was always at the rink tinkering with stuff. He'd put like, you know, the pre wrap they put on like your wrist. If you tape in your wrist, you would put that on a stick and then put tape over it to make it stick softer. He was just he was ahead of his game with the stuff that he had. And, you know, he'd put potatoes on his knees.

If his knees were hurting in his shin pads, he'd put like, you have this, this metal healing thing it put on his chest and like tape it to his shoulder pads. And I'm like, what does that do y'all? He's like, brings me strength. Brings me strength. Okay.

But I guess we're like, he skated every day at an old age, he'd have 10 pound weights on his skates, which is insane to skate around. And, and, you know, he'd have those on his skates. He'd be like, Oh, I feel like I'm 55 years old. I'm like, Yags, you got 10 pound skates. Like you have to just skate regular so you can feel at least 45 you know yeah I mean he plays 27 years or 28 years whatever it was so something worked Yeah, the potatoes. That's crazy. That's the most Eastern European thing I've ever heard like Yeah, it's gonna like pouring vodka on your knees. It makes it makes it nice and warm and toasty

Oh, my dad my dad when we were younger, like, you are me, you are good as a thousand. You squats a day, 500 push ups. And I always thought it was just a dad lie, you know, and I asked him and he said, Yeah, he was like, I did that as a kid, did 1000 squats every day before school 1000 after risk curls, everything. The guy he was a machine just built to play hockey. Yeah, also Cap's legend. I have one question about the Capitals, then we'll move on.

But it seems to me like they've constructed their entire roster to spend the next two years just getting OV the goals record. Is that fair to say? Are they even trying to compete for anything? Yeah, they are. I mean, I think that they're a proud organization. I think that they're a proud organization. I think that, you know, they're gonna You know, obviously try to win the Stanley Cup every year like every team, but I think I think what they're doing for Ovi

I think a lot of teams especially nowadays, you know, the older you get, you know They're kind of teams are kind of pushing you out But I think well, you know what he's done for that city with for that organization He deserves everything that that he's done for that city, for that organization, he deserves everything that he's getting and whether it's trying to help him get the goal record or play as long as he can to get it, I think they're doing the right thing by him and he deserves it. Yeah, I'm fine with it.

I think if you're not going to be at the top of that level and actually have a chance to win the Stanley Cup, take care of your guy that gave you what 15, 20 years of great hockey and try to help him accomplish something that's crazy. That's the one thing that I am paying attention to with the Capitals this year. It's like, okay, I wanna know when Ovi scores, I wanna know how he's doing, I wanna make sure he's healthy.

And he's not like hurting the team when he's out there, at least to my eyes, he can still play at a high level. 100%. And he's a guy, I think, like Yager. I don't think there's an age limit for him to play. I think that what he does, he's so big, he's so strong. You know, obviously shoots the puck like a savage. So he'll be able to get his goals. And I think it's just strictly up to him whether he wants to continue to keep playing and chase the record. I know talking to Wayne,

Wayne would like to see him get it. He knows that records like that are meant to be broke and good for the game and stuff like that. So it is a good thing for the league to have a guy to be even within talking about breaking a Wayne Gretzky record. And everyone always said forever that it would never be touched. And now you got old Vetchkin and the way Austin Matthews is scoring, you know, those records could be broken. Yeah, Keith, the end was brought to you by proper number 12, Irish whiskey. That's right. proper 12 is rich and smooth. It's

Irish whiskey. They've also got the proper number rich and smooth. It's Irish whiskey. They've also got the proper number 12 Irish apple whiskey, which is the best sipping whiskey that you can have. Just pass a bottle around, pour it on ice, pour it in a glass. You can even mix it. It's great, great stuff. I love drinking it. They sent us a bunch when they came on as a sponsor. Put it on my bar cart. That stuff went fast. It's crisp and fresh, especially the Irish apple. It was founded by Conor McGregor. You can shoot your shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey or the Roar. Order your bottle of proper number 12 Irish whiskey with Drizly. Check it out. And now here's Keith Yandle. So one Black OX question to the worst team

in the league. So they might get the first pick again. Obviously Conor Bredard being out for like a month and a half probably helped them. They wouldn't have been good even if he was healthy the whole time, but they might not have been the worst. Is the Celebrini kid just as like, can't miss as Bedard? From everything I've heard, I've watched him play maybe three times this year. He's got an absolute laser of a shot. You know, Whit works over at BU with them. I think he helps out over there

Was he what working with their golf swing or something? Getting them out on the boat It's important to take time off boys Sky more vacations than anyone. He was just down in Florida two weeks ago And then he texted me the other day. He's like, I'm gonna to be down there on Thursday. I want to golf. I'm like, do you ever stay home? Yeah, I think it's a situate thing him and Hank. Yeah, that's true. A couple, a couple of vacation pledging. They just vacation. So but he's so bring he might be the, the like, he might be another can't miss guy. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's going to be that guy that

is a is a can't miss. You know, talking to one of my best friends as a scout, he's saying he's a can't mess. I think there's a few guys in the draft that are really good, but I think if they were able to get him and Ambedard and obviously being a great city, Chicago, I think that they will have some really good teams for a long time, because, you know,

you hate to say, but a team like Winnipeg, if they're getting first overall guys, then you're not really getting the free agent signings as much as a city like Chicago would get, because it's such a good city. You know, guys love playing there, great fans, great atmosphere, best jerseys in the league. So it's, uh, I think, I think if they were able to get him, then it'll be a fun, you know, 15, 20 years for you guys. Yeah. Yeah. They'll rig the draft again.

They should. Remember, remember when, when, when the Hawks were winning their Stanley Cubs, it was like a joke that NBC, it was like every single week. It was a Blackhawks game. It was it was every every like every time there could be a national televised game. It was a Blackhawks game. Yeah, and I remember playing during those and you're like, geez, why do the Blackhawks get every game but now being out and being in the media, it's you got to put on games that are going to grow the game and the players that are gonna grow the game. I think the league's doing an amazing job of that, growing the game, getting guys out there more than they had in the past. But it's, I think when Chicago's a good team, it's good for everyone. Yeah, it's original six.

Whenever there's an original six, it feels like there's just more momentum. Yeah, or just big fights, if there's constant big fights. Like I think last time we had Biz on, he told us to watch Wifi that dude up in Montreal. That dude that dude can throw some punches. I love watching clips of his fights. Who's another who's another goon or tough guy that we should keep our eye on?

I think Brady Kachuk, who's I think he's leading the league in fights this year. And I golfed with him over over all-star break He was down here in Florida and I'm like he's it. He's a top 10 15 player in the league I'm like Brady you got to stop fighting man like the I know you're taught. He's a big strong kid. He can throw his hands I'm like you got to stop fighting man like you their teams in last place. He's like I can't I can't shut it off and Probably the reason why he is who he is. And, you know, I'm here talking to you guys. Yeah.

When you get to play off season as a defenseman, how much does it suck knowing that you now have to get in front of every puck? Is there like a something in your head that flips? And you're like, all right, now every single one that I stayed on my feet for, I'm gonna have to get on the ground and take one to the knee, take one to the shin,

take one to the ankle. Like, did you just dread that? Yeah, that and going back for Pox because especially as an offensive defenseman, teams would, you know, they dump it in your corner and they're just trying to get licks on you and it's the worst. It's especially that first game, you're like, OK,

you got to prepare for battle. You're basically playing hockey without a puck. The first couple of games, teams are so fired up to get the playoffs started. I think the first round of playoffs is probably the best round. Teams are flying around trying to kill each other. Like you said, blocking shots everywhere.

But I always said, I never asked the goalie to go play the power play for me. You know, he should never ask me to block the puck. Ooh, I like that. That's a fair point. He's asking you to do his job for him. Yeah, I like that. But he's not going to play the goalies,

it's more the coaches. Yeah, there definitely, was there times when you wouldn't get down for a puck and then you get reamed out afterwards being like what the fuck are you doing? Oh, yeah all the time Analytics for that see see if I were a coach before the playoffs I would just I would lay down on the ice to be like alright boys If I can do it you can do it and just let the whole team fire on me for like for like 10 minutes and be like now go and do it

The leads in the front. He'd be dead. Yeah. But the guys will be fired up. They'd be fired up. Yeah. That would that would be a good tactic. Maybe if you're like down three games to one or something like that,

doing that by a coach would be like, but a lot of the coaches are are guys that were shop blockers, guys that were out there giving it their all and all the players know that too. So when they're asking you to do it and you knew that they did it It's tough to you know, not kind of sack up and do it. Yeah, that's fair They probably did it in an era with you know, they had less pads on yeah, I don't know the pads have always been Like every time you get hit with a puck you feel it unless you get hit in the foot when you have the shop lockers on to kind of just gray, grayzes off your foot, then you don't really feel it too much. But anytime you

get hit with a puck in the foot, or it always finds the area with no equipment. And, or I shouldn't say always, I'd say 70% of the time you're, you're getting full impact of the puck just on your bare skin, which is the absolute worst. Yeah, that sounds awful I was reading something the other day about how coaches they don't use their their challenge where they can like say hey that guy's got a Fucked up stick. He's got too much curve on a stick Coaches don't do that ever even though it's basically a free penalty every single night if they wanted to do it. And are they not doing that because everybody everybody cheats? And they know that they have guys on their team that do

it too? Is is that even a rule anymore? The illegal curve? I think so. Yeah. Really? Um, yeah, I would say, I mean, the way guys curves are nowadays, I'd say over 50% of the league. If there is a legal curve, everyone's, I would imagine, if it's the same of what it used to be, that used to be like the silver thing that you put up against it that measured it. I can't imagine that it's still a ruler of why people aren't using it.

But it's probably the same thing, like you said, because you have access to other teams' room. Your trainers are going in there. You could go in and measure a guy's stick before a game and know exactly what you're going into. But yeah, I wonder when the last time that was called. I know the famous one with Marty McSorley, and I think he was in LA at the time.

But yeah, I wonder what the last one was. Yeah, because the thing I was reading was saying that coaches don't do it because it's like an unwritten rule for the game. Yeah, where maybe you're pointing the finger at them, you got some going on at your own end. But yeah, nobody does it anymore, and it seems like it's a free penalty if you want it. Yeah, maybe now if people hear this, then

people will do it and play us. That's, but that is one of the good things about the NHL. And I saw it the other night, did you guys see the guy in auto with score the empty neck gold and yes, just rushed him. That's my favorite part about the NHL how it just polices itself. Like imagine football, if you do something stupid in a 400 pound lineman, you know he's going to come and just rip your head off. You're probably not going to do it. So the way that the game polices itself is amazing.

And probably what the coach is not doing that is probably just out of respect. Yeah, for people who missed it, it was an empty net goal. It was like 4-2. And then there was like five seconds left. And was it an Ottawa player who just took a slap shot from like five feet away on the empty net goal and scored with like no time left. And he just got absolutely bumrushed immediately. It was awesome.

And the worst part is you have your goalie pulled. So you got one more player than the other team out there. So no matter what, this guy's getting hands put on him by someone, even if your whole team comes in, which Ottawa did. But there's two guys on that guy who shot it into the net and caused that havoc. Yeah, that was great. All right, so, Jens, it's been awesome.

I have one last question. It's a rowback question. RHOBACK.com, use promo code TAKE 20% off your first purchase, QZips, Polos, Hoodies, Joggers, Shorts, Roback.com, the best golf stuff out there. Go get it right now, Roback.com, promo code TAKE. All right, so Jans, you are in the dozen trivia league. You are on one of the worst teams ever, very entertaining, but very bad at trivia. So I wanted to test your trivia and give you a question

and see how you're doing, how the mind's coming along. OK? You ready? It's an easy one. I'm pretty mash up. Yeah, no, it's an easy one, all right? Keith Yandle, you scored how many goals and had how many assists in your NHL career?

You should do. Would you know run this niche should we should someone else should do a niche We have KB like learn all of yin stats and have that be a niche because he could dominate come on I think goals I'm pretty sure I got a hundred or I want to say a hundred or just over a hundred. We need a number. I'm going to go one oh one oh two. And one oh three was the correct answer. That's pretty good though.

That's pretty good. You were pretty close. And then you get like a plaque for the assist. I don't know. Maybe four or 50. And then you get like a plaque for the assist. I don't know maybe 450 oh no you sold yourself short on both 516 on assist All right. Yeah, good about penalty minutes. Oh God

I don't think minutes See if we can find this stat. I'm not good at math. Let me, I'm going to go. I don't know if I can find it. 400. Yeah, exactly. Correct. No, no, 616. All right. So, you know, Keith Yandall stats might not be the niche category for the dozen for you. No, I have no idea. That's actually way cooler though.

To be like, I think it was like, oh, I'm going to get a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little know Keith yandell stats might not be the niche category for the dozen for you. No, I have no idea. That's actually way cooler though. To be like, I think it was like a little over a hundred. Yeah. Now, I would absolutely know exactly how many goals I scored at the HL. Yeah, for sure. One oh three on the dot.

No, I wish I wish it was a lot more. Yeah, I wasn't in the guys in the stands yelling, shoot. Yeah, you should have. You should have. All right, well, Jans, thanks as always, man. This has been awesome. We got to get you in the Chicago office, maybe, for the start of playoffs.

I know we're going to do a big stream. It would be good to get you here. You think you can handle one of these 41 free throw streams? That was impressive that you guys got that done. I don't know how you did that. The one we're talking about might be like, Bizz and Wint want to do like a, like post stream. Like you got to hit, you got to hit like 30 posts in a row or something.

30 in a row, but you get the same thing, the Mulligan. Yeah, but then you got to add me and Dave doing it too, which is going to be impossible. Yeah, you guys wouldn't get more than one in a row. Yeah. So we might need you. Bizz wouldn't get more than one in a row. Yeah. So we might need you. This wouldn't get more than one in a row. It would win.

Yeah, what would probably go? What was the max you could do 10 for you guys? Yeah, 10. He could do 10 in a row easy. Yeah, once you get once you get on a does it matter? Like if you shoot and then missed, you keep going or no? No, you have to then get off well, we you could keep going Yeah, if you want if you but it only counts the makes yeah

Yeah, I think I think once you got on a roll you could get pretty hot Hitting those you could easily do ten in a row. Okay. I don't think this could this would maybe get two or three It would be just fun seeing the two of them just like once you get to like hour 12 You think Whitney would be able to do like a two day stream nonstop. Yeah, the quit fact. We might need you because you're a dog. Yeah, you you'd be you'd be in with the boys for the for as long as it took. What about bringing in goalies like bringing in 50 goalies and just rotating them, you

know, every 30 shots and you got to score a certain amount because the post is yeah I like that Going against real goalies. Yeah, that would be good. And yeah, you just keep rotating High school or not even high college kids that listening your guys is show like you would have a line out the door of goalies ready to go That would be fun. What about me and big cat so neither one of us play hockey ready to go. That would be fun. What about me and big cat so neither one of us play hockey. But if you gave us like a 20 foot rister against an NHL goalie how many goals you think we could score if we took like 100 shots. Zero. No I know I get one top chatter. 20 foot knuckle puck bitch. Yeah. 15. No. No. Maybe if you had like a breakaway one could flip over a pop, but you wouldn't, you know,

I wouldn't, if I had 100 shots on a goalie just straight away, no screen from 20 feet away, I don't think I'd score more than three. That sounds like we got a new challenge. Yeah. Okay. All right. I think I could challenge. Yeah.

I'm different though. I'm ready. All right. Well, Yanns. Thanks. Thanks so much man Appreciate you coming on. I love that you don't have a computer never change never change that Okay, I won't I promise you I never ever get a computer Thank you. All right. Talk to you later man. See you man. All right. Thanks Keith Yandel was brought to you by Keith Yandel was brought to you by Mountain Dew Baja Blast baby that's what I'm opening right now all the boys drink Baja Blast Hank spilled a little bit that's okay. There's a bad throw by you. That's mountain but a great drink.

What do you mean a bad throw? Oh my god it's the best. You thought it you forgot that it was fizzy you forgot that things that were shaken up gets fizzy. Mountain Dew Baja Blast is the best and they want football fans to have a blast. A Mountain Dew Baja Blast that is. I know first hand that having a blast can be as simple as cracking open. A Mountain Dew Baja Blast anytime, anywhere. Doesn't matter where you are. If you're watching the game, if you're at a game, if you're at home on the couch, nothing like it. I like a nice, you know what

I really enjoy is like an Italian sandwich with an ice cold Mountain Dew Blast for lunch. Love it. To me is Mountain Dew Baja Blast is the best lunch drink in America. Maybe of all time. Yes. Mountain Dew Baja Blast, the Taco Bell fan favorite is now available all year long in stores nationwide for the first time, making having a blast easier than ever. Here's a here's a crazy idea I just thought of. What about a Baja float? Oh!

We put like a scoop of ice cream in there. Yeah. I would eat that. I like it, it's the best soda. Mountain Dew Baja Blast in stores now, check it out. Hey Max, Mountain Dew Baja Blast, you want one? I'll take two. Well you didn't get it, dude.

I said you want one? Well I was gonna take two. But I had two in my hand. Yeah well. Cause that's one to you. Yeah. This actually is, this is maybe the one soda that, like if you drink two, you are,

that just means you're the smartest man alive. Yeah. That's a fact. All right, we'll finish up the show. Life after football. So Jake, you have a list? Yeah, so last year around this time we did a segment, hobbies the boys will pick up and now the football is over.

Love it. And I will say Hank was not on this list because I think he stayed in Arizona for vacation Yeah, you're right. I remember that show yeah, we had a talk with the end all about uh cuz we were set on the show Biz cancelled cuz he was sick and then I hit up Whitney and he was on a boat or golf and He was like yeah, Whitney, all he does is vacation. Is that just a situate thing? It's a beach town. It's the Irish Riviera. It's beautiful, beautiful ocean vibes. So Hank, do you have anything that you would have put on this list?

What was the, what was the prompt? Hobbies, the boys will pick up now the football is over, but 365 days ago. Yeah, what would you have done last year? I mean, golf. Okay, yep. Alright. Alright, well, I'm pleased to say that a lot of these were accomplished. Okay. They were accomplished. Yes. Okay, let's see. PFT. Your first bullet, break 120 in golf. Nice. Boom. Easy. You did three quarters of that. Done. This week. Well, I got 90.

It's not breaking 90. True. But pretty much the quarter. Everyone, everyone's goal when they start playing golf is to break 91. And I did that. Uh, PFT get a word of the day calendar. Unfortunately, I did not do that. Okay. And lastly, PFT run a marathon and not tell anyone. Well, yeah. So, um, no, you did that.

If I, if I did run a marathon, I'm going to continue not to tell anybody. That's, that's going on this year's list all right okay big cat yeah be a dad more yeah you did that yeah hell yeah you got 365 more days of dadding in yeah I mean I added another son so how could I not be a dad right my crotos mushrooms yep I've done that multiple times. Olympic weightlifting. Yeah, Max and I are gonna do that. We gotta get back on our plan. I was just talking to Max today actually.

Me and Max are gonna work out tomorrow. Yeah, we gotta get back. Oh, you already ditched me. I didn't, he said, are you gonna work out tomorrow? I said yes. Okay, you ditched me, that's fine. We have three bullets for a Billy football. Oh, this one.

We hit it hard starting now. We can actually be in a good spot for summer. We can, yeah. Good point, had that thought. I'm going to hit it hard. The last couple weeks were tough. I'm in a bad spot now. I'm going to hit it so hard.

Billy. I might have sold the video where I have to learn how to dunk, too. So that's actually something I have to do. That's cool. But not in reality. In theory. Wait, you're going to be able to dunk?

They're like, oh, we know, what are some ideas? I was like, oh, I could learn how to dunk. No, you can't. And then... It's not like learning how to ride a bike. Yeah. Yeah, it's practicing vertical leap. I...

Training. Don't know if you physically... Have you ever got rim? Yes. On the court. When I was like 17. But the ball makes it so much harder. How tall are you?

More likely to get six pack Which is never gonna happen then dunk why not both okay? Why not both? I've been waiting what three years on the six pack Yeah, I guess we found out Hanks hobby for football all season and got a dunk Yeah, I've got the dunk shoes the the isometric ones. I would love for you to dunk men's ball Okay, I have to try I'll bet you ten thousand dollars you can't do it by the end of the year yeah I'll match what do I men's ball you have to give us ten grand back not 20 so 20 to 10 so five so if you 20 you give us 10 seven and a half that's so that's crazy four and four eight all right deal all

right deal it was just whatever money we wanted men's basketball ten foot room yeah in this office yeah this is the stupidest thing you've ever like there's an it's impossible how tall are you six we know that's how old you were I think okay yeah no it was I like I literally said like I was probably a future me thing but this is okay wait wait wait category now everything running keep everything running max you talk about your vacation real quick hey pft and I and Hank are gonna go watch how close he gets to room we'll come right We'll take like 10 seconds. Talk about your vacation.

The three of you, the booth talk. All right. Max, how was your vacation? My vacation was great. Hank, I've actually been wanting to say this to you. Hank goes to San Diego a lot. He has family out there and he gets a lot of shit about wanting to move to San Diego. The place is unbelievable. Yeah. It's like a playground. It's the most beautiful place on earth. Like I don't, I like hung out with a lot of people

that were there and I couldn't understand how like people can like have a normal day there. Oh, and they're back. It's just sunny every day. Okay, we're back. What was the result? So I was- He actually,. OK, we're back. What was the result? We're going to dunk. So I was here. He actually, PFT, we screwed up because what we should have

done it, the only regret I have with this bet is we should have made all parties put the money in an interest account. Because 8,000 is not going to be the same amount of money next year. That's true. In seven months. Thanks, Biden. I think this is the same category as Hank's pole vaulting take. Yeah, I mean, it's just not going to be the same amount of money next year. That's true. You know, in seven months. Thanks, Biden. I think this is the same category as Hank's pole vaulting

take. Yeah, I mean, it's just not going to happen. So Hank, I said the exact same thing when I was 30. I was like, I'm going to figure out how to dunk. I said literally the exact same thing. You're welcome to go ahead, Hank. And it's very hard at the stage. I'm a seven-inch baby.

Seven inches. You had to know that was coming. You can't say Hank is more likely to dunk than you. At my peak when I was like 18 years old, I was able to grab the rim with my fingertips. That wasn't a bad baseline. I'm on zero training. Yeah, I know, but you're not going to dunk. What if I just go hard?

OK, well, if you go hard, you get $20,000. So you're not gonna dunk. What if I just go hard? Okay. Well if you go hard you get twenty thousand dollars You're gonna have to one lose weight and then and then to get stronger Yeah, no, I know I know I listen Believe all I need some people to believe I know there's gonna be a lot of haters a lot of doubters and that's fine You have no reason to believe but For the ones that do buy in now and maybe I'll support the money with you. Oh you're going to sell stock. Yeah. What does that mean? Just people have to show

you support and then you're like, yes, I'll give you money. Yeah. Consistent support. You know what Hank, I think you can do it. Okay. I think you can do it. All right. I would like to match anyone who shows consistent hate towards Hank and really bashes him. You will also maybe get involved in the money that we're gonna win. Here's what we'll do. Just every day, just be like,

there's no chance you fucking idiot. We'll sell a heavily discounted shirt when Hank can't do it that just says Hank couldn't do it. Yeah, Hank couldn't do it. December 31st. Wait, no, I thought we said beginning of football season. End of the year. No, no, no, no, no. I'll give him anything. You said end of the year no no no no no give me any of this we could give them the next 10 football seasons yeah why yeah why don't we give you the end of your 30s what about

steroids yeah you can use steroids to go for it I'm a doodle that's the thing you could use steroids but you have to share I'm do you get this I'm I'm due to run due to follow up on one of these things and make it happen. Okay. Put it that way. I don't think this is the one. That's some Billy football logic right there. You do. And if I can do this, six pack will become with it. So that should be a double. I should get an incentive. Okay. What if I'll give you an extra incentive by dunk shirtless with my six pack. If you can't dunk, if you can't dunk, I'll give you three chances to go perfect from a three point contest. And if you get that, then you get the money. Okay. That

was smart by me because now he's going to like halfway through not training. He's going to be like me. I'll just drink three pointers and he'll stop drinking. That works. So three to three times through, you'd have to make 25, three pointers in a row. Yeah, that'll never happen. All right, we'll say 20. That is so much more likely to happen than you dunking. Why are you... That just made me mad that you were like, that will never happen, but dunking will.

Because you don't understand his mindset right now. Dude, he's got a chance. I have to check it like, no, like... He thinks mine, he's like, all I have to do is just hit the gym and then I'm gonna do it train when his training start tomorrow yeah yeah okay not tomorrow all right what else we have oh we have these hobbies oh yeah I've never trained my legs I've chicken legs and I basically just touch room so you're just an untapped resource yes you did not basically just touch room pretty much

Yeah, and you then have to go another like it has to be a clean dunk No, like getting the ball to the rim and like having it just fall in you have to actually dunk your hands have to be all The way over dunk. Okay, I'm reviewing the tape right now, Hank. You are about, I'd say your fingertips are a good five and a half inches. I know exactly what that looks like from the rim. So that's like another foot of vertical leap you need. You need, yeah, about another foot to get up there.

Work to be done. Okay. Can't wait to get to work. Billy's hobbies that he'll pick up now that football season is over from last year. Not get too deep into conspiracies. Oh, he failed that one. Fail.

Big time. Listen to macro dosing. Don't get suspended. Okay, failed. Yeah, failed that. And the Jets project. That the quarterbacks thing. Didn't he already do that?

I think he did. Yeah, he did. Was there a different Jets project? Did he just say that after he had finished it now we very Billy finish the Jets project me competitive pickleball did that check Max cook more Max rip I've been ripping cooking ever since I moved Chicago and never get takeout only cook you're basically the bear. Yep basically

you're the bear it was just about yeah Like put the the fat hairy version of yeah, I basically yeah, I basically just make chicken and rice, but it's like at home like Mexican bowls I do it like Every week though every once a week. We're cooking Yeah, we're cooking. I love that for you and finally memes get physical Okay, it means that you get physical. It was get a physical. Oh, yeah. Get a physical. And uh, as a physical man, still need one. Okay. All right, let's do listeners submitted ones. Memes. Hank. Twenty three pointers in a row. Hank and you're out. You guys really don't. Yeah. I probably can't shooting three. Like by Thursday you're going to see him just doing the racks. Well no I'm just going to have to do whatever

whatever if you believe well Hank you got to make a decision because if you know I'm dunking if you work your legs you're three point shot might get jacked up. I will dunk on you a basketball in a game. Oh oh no Different in a game pick 31 winners PMT gets a team to select NFL teams in Madden Select a day and have a fantasy draft and host an entire season that each person runs their team Can either play each week or sim. No, I don't even know what I'm reading It's just we're we're trying another would be good content during that drought. Oh, this is a suggestion for us Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah suggestions for all right. I did that in high school was fun My friends and I live in North Carolina

And have been following the immaculate stingray pregnancy. Yes. That's the Cindy swingy movie. Yes This got me thinking what if Jesus does come back every 2,000 years, but in form of different animals? We have been stuck on this and I've been rewinding scriptures but in form of different animals. We have been stuck on this and have been rewriting scriptures from the perspective of different animals. Didn't think it would be this bad one week with no football. Whoa. What animal do you think would have the biggest impact if they had out Jesus?

Dog, easy. As always, fuck Hanko Dukes. Ah, cats. I feel like cats would, they would like all follow their Jesus like hardcore. Cats can like gang up. Cat people. No, but cats themselves, they could gang up.

No, they would just end up fighting. They're solitary animals. Yeah, but dogs. Dogs, you just throw a tennis ball and the whole plan goes, Wolves. Shit. Yeah, it becomes like the alpha wolf, the king of kings. No, he's saying wolves.

Wolves, he's actually saying wolves. Yeah. Or bird. Yeah. A bird bird everybody flies behind it. Yeah. Yeah What's up boys welcome back I'm in my second year of college in a new city where I don't have many guy friends So I filmed my weekend this fall with as much football as I could now it's over I am suffering extreme withdrawal so much that I bought the new man game just to have football on my TV Even if I was one creating the football I'm worried that my weekends this spring summer will be a vortex of nothingness

I'm planning on getting a golf membership to my local course of summer smart nine handicap no big deal But I'm open to potential other hobbies to keep myself from playing 36 holes five days a week any ideas. I love you guys Start drinking more His drink just become just a raging alcoholic walk It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks.

It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks.

It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks.

It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It promoting their romcom. Oh man, I'm gonna need a minute. She's been lying to me. That sucks. I know you. Ah, maybe she is.

She's engaged. What? Good for her. Every time she's working on a movie, can't come over. Uh-huh. I know what this guy's going through, because this morning I just, I thought, I just like sat down and I was like,

what if the Rams played the Seahawks this weekend and I made a line for it Yeah, I had Rams minus two and a half where in Seattle. Oh, I would hammer the owner the Rams minus two and a half Yeah, it's a good line. Yes. Good line. It's a good line. I also had Vegas at Carolina And that was Vegas minus three started quarter on the road Connell a 8-0 Connell? 8-0 Connell, Bryson. But remember, they got Canales. Yeah. You wrote a cock book.

I'll end with this one. Probably the best suggestion we've ever had. Learn how to dunk. Idea for what to do while football is gone. Fully commit to an off-season training program. Conditioning, weights, study film, drilling plays, whole nine yards. I like that. Like pretend that you're going to be a linebacker or like a shooting guard.

Who can talk. He's talking about but he's talking about football. Yeah. Fully commit to an offseason training program including what conditioning weights studying film drilling plays a whole nine yards. Oh I guess it could be basketball. It could be golf too. It could be golf. Yeah. Okay I like that one. Alternate idea fully committing to getting the worst shape of your life and see how unhealthy you can get all the way through preseason and commit to getting in sheep next year. That'll work. I like the sound of that. We've always talked about meeting in the middle. Yeah. What are you at now? I'm at like two...

Two something? Yeah. Two and change. Two something? Yeah. Two and change, meeting in the middle. Two dot dot dot. Do you think meeting in the middle would be approximately 210 pounds? How much do you weigh? I'm like, I don't know, I've been on scale in a while. I think 180.

It might have to be a little higher than that. I could get up to like 215, 220. I'm about to get in shape. Chef Donnie's about to, I just gave him my credit card. I was like, make me food. if anyone wants to get on the meal plan Sure, I'm in I'm gonna be it. Well, you guys gotta give me your credit cards, too I'll just take it. I'll say it's a okay. We'll take it out of your time I will I told him just get a big bowl and have hard boiled eggs in there at all times that sounds like a

and have hard boiled eggs in there at all times. That sounds like a recipe for disaster. So anyone who wants hard boiled eggs, hit me up. I'm gonna be flush with hard boiled eggs. If they get a bar for everything else, why not just an egg bar? You get the egg and then you get like chives, salt, pepper, bacon bits. Yeah.

Are you talking about just an omelet bar? Yeah, egg bar, hard boiled egg. I'm talking about egg. You're talking about an omelet steak. No, this is completely different. It's hard boiled eggs, but you get all the shit that goes in an omelet, and you just put it on the egg, and it's way healthier. This is going to be a big Google.

What? Wait, what? What was that? What is that sentence? This is going to be a big Google? Is this a question from a listener that you're looking up, or is it? What are you doing? Egg related.

We're on a podcast Hank. How long to learn how to dunk? I suspect there are a few variables that go into that. A couple, I would say. One, have you ever dunked before? Two, how old are you? Three, do you have chicken legs? Four, are you delusional?

Like I think- Delusional is good. I agree. Delusional is good. I agree. Yeah, sure. But yeah, there's, like LeBron James' daughter's gonna dunk before you. Just think about that. Easily, yes.

Couple variables. There wasn't like an easy answer. No, of course not. Okay. I read it said I would like three months so I can impress some people in school after summer. This guy sounds like my type of guy. In school like this.

Top comment. No way to tell and it's going to be different for everyone. If you can just grab rim then you're six, eight inches away from dunking off the dribble. Oh yeah. So you're about that much and three months is not going to happen. I would say a year if you get hella lucky. If not then like a year. And you're not, you're not grabbing rim.

Six inches away from grabbing rim. So add five to eight inches on top of that. So that's another 10 years. Over a foot. So yeah, maybe when you're 50, I'd say by 40, you can probably dunk by the time you're 40. Okay. I also think we should bring back. That's what she said. Yeah. In 2024. I feel like that's been it's been out of the lexicon for a while. It always plays though. Yeah, always plays always. Okay. We ready good show boys numbers 40 3 20 future vert 18 8

99 I was gonna do 99, but I wasn't gonna do one pug I will do 77 We're clean to 77. Do we have a ball in there? No. We're clean. We're clean. We're clean. 57. 57.

57. 57. Yes, all that max. You're a little nervous. Love you guys. Off of the ground. It's just love the ground. Oh, wait, shit. Love you guys. I'm just saying I'll say it anyway Today's a mountain, just find you Shining away, I'll be coming for your love again
