Today is Wednesday, February 19th and boys I have a proclamation I'd like to discuss, maybe debate. I believe that we are in the worst three weeks of the sports calendar. Okay, let's discuss. Three weeks from now, your favorite week of the year starts, which is conference championship week. Correct.

Starting a little later this year, which kind of bummed me out when I was looking at the schedule. So, I mean, it sounds like you have no respect for the window where teams can designate who they're going to get the franchise tag to. That was part of my argument that I was looking at. I was looking at stories today, and the biggest two stories I could find is, will T. Higgins be franchise tagged? Well, they've declared that he will.

Yeah. And his mom being mad about it, but they're walking it back. We don't know because his mom said, selfish bastards on X, the everything app. And then people were like, oh, this is obviously about the Bengals because the news had just broken that they plan to franchise tag T. Higgins. And then she said, no, it's not about the Bengals. So news had just broken that they plan to franchise tag T Higgins. And then she said, no, it's not about the Bengals. Right.

So it could, she might've been watching, she could have been watching severance and then like this, this milkshake bastard, he's, he sucks. No spoilers. Uh, great show though. Great fucking show. Have you caught up Hank? No. Okay.

I would like to say, I wish I didn't say that. I would like to severance my own brain after football season's over. I was actually thinking severance. We should have a severance for flights. Yeah. That would be great for travel days. Although that's when I, that's the time that I used to catch up on severance. True. I guess you just watch severance while being severed. Yeah. You only think about sevens and you can watch it again and it's awesome while you're watching seven. All right. So the T Higgins. Yeah. And you know, will Sam Darnold will trade Murphy. I don't there there's basically franchise tags are the top of the list. And then the other big story I saw was people mad about

LeBron ruining a picture in all star game. Which is fair. But that but that's okay. I don't want to did we should we should discuss the merits of that accusation, but that was, that was when it clicked in my head. I was like, this is what we have right now. And I know that people will argue the all star break in the summer for baseball. My counter argument would be it's summer. So you can go outside and do whatever this is. It's these two to three weeks where we haven't gotten to March madness because then once we get to March madness, then it's masters, then it's NBA and NHL playoffs, then it's summer, and by the time we get to July, it's like football's about to be back. I think these are the worst two to three weeks of the entire year right now.

I do enjoy the Combine week. But that's specific to us. because there's all the rumors. That's right. You can really play fan fiction with everything. Correct. You're like, what if the jets change their mind about Aaron Rogers? We like going to combine week is something to do and we get to see some people we haven't seen and do a couple of interviews. And I, I agree with that. Like next week's gonna be fun for us, but I'm thinking for the, the common man who doesn't go to combine week, you can like, I remember getting excited for the combine and then watching like three 40 yard dashes and been

like, what, what this is stupid players opt out now to that. Like back in the day, at least everyone cared about the combine players. Who's going to win an island. Yeah. Now it's like the best players rarely even do the con. Yeah. No, really. The only stories out there, there's some baseball news, but again, it's all contract news. Yeah. This is a great week if you care about numbers.

Yeah. And so, yeah, I agree with you. There's not a lot of action going on right now. Thankfully we have the four nations. The four nations saved us, but this is, it's just, this is the bummer week where I would like to be severed these couple of weeks and just wake up and have it be March Madness. Yeah. We also have the news leading up to the draft where you start to get interviews with certain

players that are going to be in the draft where they say, you will regret not drafting me. Every team that passes on me is going to regret it. Cam Ward said that he pulled the Josh Rosen. Josh Rosen. Nine teams made a mistake. Made a big mistake by passing on Josh. Turns out only one team made a mistake.

It was the 10th team. Yeah. So it's Josh Rosen I think he's like a doctor now. Yeah, he's uh, he's not doing much. I mean that's something Yeah, there's a lot of okay with his life. They give anybody a doctorate now Hank again No, I think he might or it might be lawyer doctor over lawyer in terms of prestige you all just perfect like Intellect I respect it would be very funny if he became like a Josh Rosen doctor in Chicago okay that's what you know have him on the show no offense to lawyers but uh

well you can you can read good yeah I could argue well I think that uh if you he should become a film a film guy like a draft breakdown guy yeah like a Kurt Benkert. Yeah, he's like, I know the game better than anybody. I can identify a boss. Yeah. All right, John. Oh, war. Oh, so he's in business school. Don't respect it as much as a doctor. That's not he is in business school. What? What are you laughing about? He just bailed on the switcher. He was like, you have to tell him that he's in business school. No, you don't. You don't. It just didn't have to be said. He had to type it on the computer. It was a lot of it. But it's just not something that like needs to be brought to their attention.

But they were like, no, I, yeah, maybe we, maybe maybe this, these three weeks we should do like a buttoned up version of Pardon My Take where we get no facts wrong. No, I don't agree to that. But that's what memes are just trying to do. Who the fuck cares if it's a doctor or a business? Who cares? Isn't every school a business school? Business school is a complete racket, by the way. They just, you basically pay so much money to go and meet a bunch of people that then you can use to get jobs. It's not like you're learning anything. You're just meeting who are also are in business and then you use those connections you're paying for connection No, you learn you learn how to avoid paying taxes on the money that you will make eventually that would be yeah No, that that that is a good thing. Uh, but yeah, we're in the we're in the dog days boys

When the dog days what is good good good choice by max to go on vacation. Yeah great Wow, great vacation week Max. Memes, I was reading up a little bit about the post-June 1st designation too. That's how bad things are, is I'm looking at clauses and contracts now. That's what they're going to do for Aaron Rodgers. So it's essentially just saying, pretend that we let you go after June 1st, but you're not a part of the team anymore. Yeah, and announcing it allows teams to talk to Aaron.

To start to move. Yeah. It's like if a girl breaks up with you with a post-February 14th designation, but she really breaks up with you in January, she's like, I'm going to stick around for the gifts. Yeah. But just, I'm also going to cheat, but just so you know, this is done. Yeah, he's gone. He's gone.

He's gone. Would you like to talk about the LeBron picture? Yeah. So they're mad at him because he was not wearing the historic and the notable OG's jersey. I did like those jerseys. They were cool. They reminded me of the whenever the all star game was in San Antonio in like the nineties and they had those awesome jerseys. I do understand. Like he could have just stood on the side. His people were saying to Kobe, just thrown on the jersey or he could have just thrown on the jersey that he could have said he wasn't going to play beforehand. So they could have replaced

him with someone that also selfish. People are saying he was doing a silent protest. He's taking, he's going to start his own league. The theory is that he's been on in Lebron's mind he's been unfairly blamed for ruining the all-star game So he was like fine. I won't play I mean what a protest So he's been blamed for ruining the all-star game by not playing hard in the all-star Correct. It's the lebronification of the mba and so now he's ruining it further by not playing in the all-star game He's silently protesting. Okay. Yeah, and then there was a lot of, there was a picture war going on.

So for people who didn't see it, which I hope you didn't because that means you have a normal life and you're living a good life and not getting into arguments about LeBron's pictures of the All-Star game. It's the OGs. So it's Kyrie, Harden, Kevin Durant, Steph, Jason Tatum, who's an OG, he was on Team OGs. Jalen Brown, who else is in it? There's one other. Oh, Dame. And they're all in their jerseys and LeBron is wearing street clothes and he's standing in the middle. And then there was a picture war because Kobe missed a couple All-Star games, but Kobe was standing off to the side when he did it. So they were like,

you guys weren't mad about this. And people said well actually Kobe did it the respectful way He looks like a coach Not like he's standing in the middle and making it all about himself It's the definition of stop trying to fit out and start trying to fit it But this is he said yeah to Luca stop trying to fit in and start fitting out show the picture instead of the video But yeah, this is where we're at on the sports calendar that this is yeah, there there it is. I mean, he's right in the middle. He is right in the middle. Okay. I'm going to be photoshopped. I'm going to be honest with you. LeBron James ruined this. Yeah, he really did. People were photoshopping him out of it. It did look a lot better. This picture

is so bad. This is one of the worst Kobe one. One of the worst sports pictures of all time. Yeah. It's how long would it take him to get changed in that Jersey or just stand if he had just been sitting on the other side of of Dame it wouldn't have looked as weird because it just would have looked like he was a coach but he's LeBron but he's also Steph Curry. Steph kind of ruined this picture too with two different colored shoes. That's cool. That's hip. I don't like that. That's how they do it. This is a terrible picture. Yeah. It's the worst picture ever taken. Um, also LeBron. Can we Photoshop Hank's face on LeBron? You know, the one where he's looking at the camera after doing the workout. Can you show, can you show the Kobe picture? Look at this is how you do it respectfully guys. It's just in all the replies of the

LeBron picture. It's also hilarious that Kyrie James, Arnon KD was on the same team. Yeah. That's a good picture. Yeah. Coby and Brandon Roy look like coaches. Yes. And Chris, it's great because Chris Kamen's getting just a nice bump of like, Oh yeah, you were on the all star team. Chris Kamen's best picture, by the way, if no one's ever seen it was the time when he was on the horse and it was taking a huge piss and had it yeah like enormous dick is that Chris Paul? That's front and to the right on that is Chris Paul sitting on a stack of phone books I don't know I see you do like extra tall why does he look huge in that picture Chris caiman is paid spelled K AMA and max oh

Casual over here big-time casual look at that. That's my tweet. Yeah, look at how big that dick is. Oh Man But yeah, so we're in we're in picture gate also LeBron I Don't know how you fucked this up But he somehow fucked up the timing of dunking on Doug Gottlieb and dunking on Doug Gottlieb is the easy It's it's basically bringing the rims down to five feet. You don't really have to do anything dunk on Doug Gottlieb and dunking on Doug Gottlieb is the easy it's it's basically bringing the rims down to five feet you don't really have to do anything dunk on Doug Gottlieb but he he quote treated Doug Gottlieb and said earn to not given got to give

him credit though this was because Doug Gottlieb's Green Bay basketball team college basketball team was two and 24 LeBron tweeted this 12 hours after Doug Gottlieb's team won their third game. Yeah. So he missed the, he missed the window. They were, they were a two win team for two and a half months. Yeah. I mean, good for Doug Gottlieb. Uh, LeBron's giving him credit. Usually Doug just takes it. Yeah, that's true. That's true. I'm pretty sure Doug Gottlieb also said like he was like a huge win 15 more to go which counts Winning his conference tournament and winning the NCAA tournaments. I've noticed something about our good friend LeBron James aside from ruining pictures

LeBron James steals tweets. Oh, yeah, dude I that that's why he's behind on this algorithm was because he saw people talking about Doug Gottlieb Probably on like the for you page where it was a tweet that was like a day Maybe two days old and then he stole that take he's been stealing takes left and right and they're all about 24 hours Yeah on what everyone's talking. Yeah. No, I I've I Don't know how to phrase this without having people be upset Kobe dying was tragic. Correct.

Go on. One of the things we lost when Kobe died was LeBron didn't know what his opinions were on a lot of things. Yeah. I think he had a lot of, I'm going to wait for Kobe to tweet something and then I'll tweet the same thing. I think I had a lot of I'm gonna wait for Kobe to tweet something and then and then I'll tweet the same thing Mm-hmm. I think I landed that well. Yeah, okay, Jason Tatum might be kind of the same way That's that's our good friend Jason Tatum, by the way Hank

Did tap him up told Hank the story. He was in the Bahamas Dapted up and said hey my boy Hank can't believe he was on the duck boat and he kind of laughed I gave him one of these a little Nod real cool walking by yeah, yeah picture. He gave me there. I didn't want to ask him for a picture I too much aura No, it would have been like What is it when a ghost takes a picture or vampire? No would've been like it was just a picture of me people like why? You just take a selfie from

He's not even there if I'd asked him a nice guy though if I asked him flick up real quick I would've taken that picture and everybody been like damn Jason Tatum ruined this picture I know big cat saw Jason Tatum and made it a point to go dab them up. I did Yeah, and I wanted and I mentioned you. Yeah, I literally that's the only thing I said. I was like, hey a Big cat from barstool. What was like, Hey, a big cat from bar stool. What's up, man? How you doing? And then I was just like, still can't believe Hank was on that duck boat in the zoo. And he laughed and that was our entire interaction. That's awesome. Yeah. For you. I know. Yeah. Um, all right. Anything. What else is Rafael

Divers interview was very funny. Oh yeah. What happened there, Hank? He just had him. I play third base. Yeah. So he was, he was told he's not gonna be moving positions and then Alex Bregman who the Red Sox just signed The Cubs came in fourth for it in terms of money. Tom Ricketts is so cheap, but so Rafael Devers He he's now gonna have to move positions Not according to raffi'll never Okay, a third basement. Okay, that was so clearly just a guy who doesn't understand English that everyone can we see it? Yeah, what what uh, I? What where would he move?

The outfield I think he has moved positions before like he I would my I don't understand when anyone's like I don't want to move To first I would I I don't understand when anyone's like I don't want to move to first I would rather play first I like the idea of him saying like it's not my job to tutor a young guy and show him how to play third base Bregman's Alex Bregman. Yeah, I'm a man. All right You'd imagine Devers with one here full-time DH DH would rock I would absolutely take that change. Oh No that change oh that's just my position that's it no the follow-up was there like they were like he was just like I play third it was it was I will not DH. I play third. Yeah, I love that play DH said no There it is there it is that's why I play third I like that sticks your guns play third

um, I Mean what else there's there's it's just this is My steven my point more mark Cuban brought that fan back courtide. Oh nice. Yeah, the guy that got ejected, okay So now everyone's like well is this is everyone on the jumbotron now gonna say fire Nico I hope that happens yeah And the more and more that has come out because there's been a couple more articles it literally just was Nico did not like Luke Hank has has a take. Oh, I recognize that face. Oh, let's go. He grinned and then he shut himself up and then he grinned more. Well, it's not. Yeah, it's not fleshed out and I haven't been fully locked in for the past

couple of weeks, but let's go on picture, you know, and I'm trying to, to write my conspiracy theorist ways, but I saw aBron picture ruined all our game. They ruin the picture and you love all our game. You always loved all star game and the report came out a few like a month ago or whatever. Yeah there's rumors about this new league that LeBron might be starting which would tank the NBA. What if what if the NBA forced Luca to the Lakers to basically like force LeBron to like stay. Oh. Because the Luca thing still doesn't make any sense. I and LeBron is clearly like doing something like something's going on where he's protesting or he's like he's got an axe to grind in some

way and maybe the NBA knew about this internally and they tried to send Luca to LA to somehow stop LeBron from doing what he's trying to do. I don't think that's gonna stop him from doing what he's trying to do, but Hank, I do agree with you that the NBA has bent over backwards, or I guess bent over forwards for LeBron for the past, I guess, 15 years, and now he's gonna leave the NBA and then start a rival league to the NBA

with like Saudi money and all this shit, and it's gonna be very funny to see how the NBA reacts to that, after the guy that they've given everything. I don't know how the Luca thing fits into it, but something we need to explore all possibilities. So I like that your brain's going. I, yeah, I liked the theory. I just, I read an article that Nico Harrison,

I think Nico Harrison like clicked on a tweet, Luca slander tweet. We always talk about it. You know, the people- The Luca's a cone. Yeah. The reply guys are like, yeah, like LeFraud, no real championships. He clicked on one of those with Luca being like, he's a traffic cone blow by. And then that's his whole algorithm. And he was like, cause he keeps saying defense wins championships when, um, I'm pretty sure that's not what happens in the NBA these days. And Luca basically carried them to the title round. He just hated him. He just hated his guts.

It is good to have a defense wins championships guy though. Oh yeah. But you don't want him to be probably not leading your team in the NBA. You want them to be like an old assistant on the bench. Yes. You want to like a white haired guy who just sits there with a whistle in his mouth, never blows, and he's like, defense does win championships. Yeah, you want a guy that's gonna get your guys to play like 1% harder defense, but ultimately superstars win championships.

Guys like Luka, guys like Jalen Brown, all these guys. Yeah, all these guys. Thanks for listening. I listen to Jalen Brown. Yeah all these guys Thanks, I'm listening. Oh Yeah, okay. All right should we do hot sea cool thrown and then we can talk some hockey. Oh, we should do our last thing We need to find a Canadian. Mm-hmm. This is actually very important It is kind of an eye-opening experience for us to realize that we don't have any Canadians at work for us bad job Bad job by us. So here's the deal. We're going to stream the four nations final on Thursday night from the PMT studio. We

would like to invite a single AWL Canadian. I think this person probably has to live in Chicago. But where where are they? Where are they emailing their application to be we want the most Canadian guy possible. We don't want an asshole Canadian We want the nicest Canadian like in the world Not someone who's not afraid to show off their Canadian spirit Yeah, but like not in a I don't want I don't want a Canadian to come in and like try to We have to do some I think we'll send the email then I we might have to do Me and me and max and the boys might have to do some, I think we'll send the email and we might have to do, me and Max and the boys might have to do some pre-calls tomorrow to try and flush them out.

What I'm trying to say is I don't want a Canadian to come in. I know what we're looking for. Yeah, I don't want a Canadian to come in and be like, oh, this is my moment. I got to talk shit back to these guys. I want a Canadian to come in and just be themselves. If you have pre-existing evidence of you being a solid Canadian, Canadian would be good Right nothing that you've created specifically for this moment Maybe someone who's who if we can timestamp it apologize for the booing of the national anthem that would put you at the top of The class yeah, or if you're a Mountie

Yeah, a Mountie would rock so it's probably got to be in in the Chicago area at least you can get here Thursday But it is we're looking for one Canadian to come and watch the game with us for the stream so that we can say we have a Canadian I'm excited so who where they gonna send the email PMT bachelor party at gmail.com okay that's just a completely random email and we're gonna obviously we're gonna have to fact-check because we don't want any fake Canadians trying to Skirt through we're gonna have to ask for some documentation And yet explain to us in you know three sentences why you would make the perfect Canadian to watch this game with us. Yeah I'm excited very fine a Canadian. Can't wait to beat the fuck out of Canada on Thursday

Yeah, I've been thinking about it and I have talked a lot of shit. I don't know if I'm gonna go phone hacked or Wi-Fi doesn't work. I haven't decided what- What the fuck? What if we lose? We're not gonna lose. Why are you thinking like that? I'm just making plans.

No, yeah, this is bad mentality Big Cat's got. Yep, yep. If this was Max, Big Cat would crawl down Max's throat. That's insane. It is insane. Yeah, I mean I'm nervous about this game We're gonna lose you think we're gonna lose. No, I don't is it it's a must win play I think we're gonna win you're planning a loss. There's not playing a lot There's never been a bigger must win than this. I'm not playing a loss

We're gonna kill him fine USA you're right We don't lose these players don't matter. We never lose these games the flag matters. We've never lost these games We got the t-chucks Well, I just had so many Canadian maybe like see you Thursday. I was like oh fuck. I forgot.

It's our fault. Yeah. Yeah agree So based spinach which seems reputable base Said someone spent a hundred thirty one point three million dollars worth of Ethereum to tell the world that there's a Chinese grade neural link and it's already been mass implanted into their military and work first to work force to control them like bugs. Oh, okay. So that that's true. That's

that'd be bad. That'd be really bad with planes. No, the plane thing is just like a plane landed crash landed and flipped over. And it was very scary. No one died. No one died. Kind of crazy, right? I mean, probably can sue the fuck out of them. The wings snapped off. Yeah, they were okay. I don't want to throw the pilot under the bus. The landing looked a little hard. Yeah. Everyone seems to be saying that it was the pilot's fault, but could could have been wind. It just seems like there's these things are happening more and more and more. being in a plane crash Where no one dies though rocks

Yeah, it's like getting bit by a shark and surviving They had sent that to me as I was on the plane woke up and saw it like woke up to them being like You know, we're landing in 30 40 minutes and that's the first thing I saw. So that's all I was like, so you're nervous We're landing. Yeah would have been awesome. I Don't think so. I think it would have been awesome. I don't think I would enjoy that. I Think it would have been I to be like yeah, I was on a plane that flipped and Blew up, but I survived. I was on a plane once I got struck by lightning really. Yep. What happened? It was a super rainy. It was a super stormy day, okay

And then thanks to that contact I just got all of a sudden you just saw like bright lights just go all around all of the windows and you're like What the hell is that and then they got on the? Inter whatever the flight attendant got on the thing was like alright. We need to do an emergency landing in Baltimore Everything's gonna be okay, but we need to land immediately So they told us after the fact that it was because it got the plane got struck by lightning Did it the plane get hurt? Yeah? No, we could the plane was done Oh like it was it was good enough to land

But it was not like if we went any further it would have like knocked out some of the systems crazy I've also heard that there have been a couple birds that have gotten sucked into the engines like like sully Oh, yeah, that's bad, but not like they're not bad bird strikes but when they do hit the 737 max it fills the cabin with smoke because the air conditioner pulls from the engine we've had that happen a couple times too so not a conspiracy guy but Neuralink and planes are crashing yeah but don't worry about you know just just keep living man I'll be honest with you it is kind of shocking that planes haven't And planes are crashing. Yeah, but don't worry about it. Just keep living, man. I'll be honest with you.

It is kind of shocking that planes haven't crashed more. They used to crash a lot. When you're ever on a plane, are you like, holy shit, this is crazy? Every time. A big tube of metal that's flying through the sky? Every time. Yeah, I don't think about that stuff.

Yeah, no, you just keep living. Yeah. Comfortably numb. Why? Why would I put that in my brain? I feel you And then my cool throne, maybe I have the neural link We did just wish for the neural link when it came to eliminating the offseason. Mm-hmm. Do you ever think about that? Yeah, I mean again if you were a conspiracy theorist you'd feel like that's you know Would you want to chip in your brain if it made you way smarter? No tortilla way smarter? No? What about severance would you choose to be severed no?

If I could if I could control it yes Imagine being severed and just going to like work out Oh, I thought you were saying that if then it just turned to if Hank Hank had A chip in his brain that we controlled no click was ahead of time Click was ahead of its time Okay, your cool turn it's fine, dude Yes, fine Boston Dynamics robots Neuralink It's fine. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I

It's fine, it's I. It's fine. It's fine. Yeah, my cool thumbs. Bachelor parties. What? Here. My my take though, Hank, is like if it's not if if it is not fine, what the fuck are we going to do about it? That's what I'm saying. Like that's where I'm just. We're just we're in the got a few more. We're not in a spot where we can change anything.

That's why you got to buy a platform. You got to just keep going. That's why you gotta buy land. We got a platform. You gotta just keep going. That's why you gotta buy land. Near water. And spinach, base spinach. Raise your own meat. You just gotta keep going. You gotta become a trucking.

Can't do anything about it. That's what I'm saying, just keep on living, man. Okay. All right, you're cool throwing special parties? Bachelor parties, yeah, we're going through, we were waiting till after, you know, the dust settled, but we're going through this week all the submissions So where can people the last this is the last chance you have would be the next week again

Where can people was it is a PMT? They're not having another email is unfortunate cuz they are going no it's not an email. It's not an email. It's a link It's a it's a Google sheet, okay, so we'll send that out and we'll put it on Instagram story and Twitter and stuff tomorrow Okay, because we haven't got enough submissions yet, right? Well, no, we have we have we have a specific date range So it's like a lot of submissions weren't inside of that. So we'll I just wanted to give people one more chance Okay, females April that's right parties count to If you're not in April, probably waste of time to submit. Yeah. Don't move it to try to get into April to get on this

unless you're a bachelor party. All right. Good job, Hank. Thanks. PFT. Great job, Hank. Thanks. My hot seat is Caitlin Clark. Mm. Again, more contract discussions. But her agent gave an interview where she said that Caitlin Clark is so good at basketball that she'll never be paid fairly by the WNBA because the league just can't afford to pay her what she's truly worth. There's probably some bit of truth in that, that the league doesn't generate enough money where a salary will never be like equivalent to what she brings into the league doesn't generate enough money where his salary will never be like Equivalent to what she brings into the league. Yeah, but it's also the god paradox, which is like could God Create a stone so big that he himself could not lift it. Mm-hmm, cuz he's like all-powerful

But then he'd be able to lift that stone no matter what so what's the solution the solution? I don't think there's a solution She they just can't pair and I think the solution is just to remind everybody all the time that she's underpaid Yeah, which I have a problem with because she hasn't won shit. It's true Hasn't won any big ones didn't we do the yeah We did the hasn't won the big one draft and she was on there She's never won a college national championship never won a WNBA national championship. These are all facts So I think that she's paid what she's worth right now.

She got to win the big talk to me when she's got a chip. Yeah. Gets that ring. Max, are you, uh, are you, are you upset with the Jalen hurts discourse because it's like everyone P pit Prisco is an idiot. Basically, uh, the way we do the NFL is if you win a Superbowl as a quarterback, it's, that's really all you need and except Jalen hurts, everyone is like, nah,

he's still, it's unbelievable that the, that like the two most important guys in my life are Jalen hurts and Joel Embiid. And they are just both the exact opposite player and both looked at the exact same. Oh, wow. That is interesting. You think the exact same kinda minus the injuries. Yeah. I think not in Philly. Jalen Hurts has-

No, not in Philly, correct. A lot more respect. Nobody- There's been some takes this past week. Pete Presko said that Dak Prescott's better than him. Yeah, he did. I saw that. I respect that, bro. He was like, Jalen Huralen hurts is really good quarterback. And then they, the, whoever social person asked him 50 quarterbacks and he said that Jalen hurts was worse than every single one of them. Yeah. He had a tie with Trevor Lawrence. That was the best was a tie with Trevor Lawrence. Well he loves Trevor Lawrence. He does. It was not going to Pittsburgh. Yeah. That's

a weird rumor that just got tossed out there, because number one, the Jaguars don't even have a general manager right now. Yeah. And number two, he has no trade clause. Yeah. So just erroneous on all counts. And he's way too young for the Steelers to want him.

That's true. That's the other part. Steelers are more than the Aaron Rodgers business. In conclusion, Caitlin Clark is not overpaid. Yet. Until she wins. OK, your cool tone? Yeah, my cool throne is steroids.

Steroids on the cool throne because that guy, Yannick Sinner, the tennis player, you remember him? He was like the subject of a big steroid debate a while ago. Yep. The World Anti-Doping agency reached their conclusion. They said, yeah, we'll suspend him for a couple of months, but he's not getting the three year ban that we asked for. Yeah, and he's also being suspended just in time

that he can be back for the majors. Yeah, it's interesting. So his excuse was he had a cut on his hand and his trainer sprayed something on there. They got into the blood stain. Classic. And then the tennis people were like, oh yeah, the levels were exactly even with what he said happened Oh, and now you've got guys like Djokovic coming out and saying like we can't trust the doping agencies

No shit. Wait, maybe this is what we do the next three weeks because there's no sports on what if we just try What if we see if we can accidentally dope max? Like how how many of these stories are true where it's like, we'll try to put steroids into max without him knowing and we'll have him take a piss test. We'll catch his piss. Yeah. I'm okay with that. Okay. All right. Great. All right. So watch out.

Yeah. So there's that. Then the indoor mile time record, world record has been broken twice in a week. So now it's down to 345 15. Last week it was broken down to 346 63. So just they're getting faster and at some point I've always wondered this about 100 meter dash like when is it going to be the fastest that you'll ever run right because like the human body can only go so fast right. It's the it's the tracks the the the bounciness on the track Yeah, but then also in the news was that Organization that we talked about like six months ago the enhanced games

So enhanced games are coming where steroid use is encouraged amongst the athletes And I I personally am excited about watching that watching all those freaks out there So and if you go on the enhanced game website It'll give you tips on like how to come out to your parents as being enhanced like you're a you're a discriminated class It's a very funny website. I like that max you gotta read up on that. You're gonna have to we're gonna get you enhanced And buy some steroids and just start putting not to my knowledge I would imagine it was not gonna be hard for us just yeah put in like a piece of cheese and throw it to him. Have him sit first.

I'll be, hey, how's your peanut butter? Peanut butter? When we give Max's daily scoop of peanut butter, one of these times. Give me a Kong. Just go in on it. All right, my hot seat is Working From Home. I don't know if you guys saw this.

Some guy who, what's the guy's name? I'm gonna find the tweet he's like a big Wall Street guy no maybe Jamie Simons Oh Dixon Dixon Jamie Dixon Jamie Diamond time the guys come on JP Morgan yeah he basically just was on a call just slamming working from home been like it's over we're done with this I actually agree with a lot of things he said. Well, I would also like to see how many days in the last 10 years he's worked from his office, true. And how many days

he's traveled. But I fundamentally I understand working from home is awesome for a lot of people. But I do think that you lose his point was more the the younger generation is going to lose out. And I agree with that, like not working with other people and having the coalescence, I think I use that word correctly, of ideas and things going back and forth, you will lose out. It is different when you're on Zoom. I think it makes a big difference what job you're talking about. True.

I think it's definitely an industry thing. Like there's industries where it doesn't make sense and it's fine. And there's some like any type of sales or when you have to you have to be together. I think it's it's you got to get back to work. I don't know about sales because you have some salespeople that are just like absolute killers no matter where they work from. Yeah, but I think working around other people and like competition that stuff matters. I do think that does matter.

Yeah, but it depends on what what industry you're talking about. He's not wrong Yes, but he's not right homes done. I'm gonna say he's right. I Think it made like I think a lot of people just took advantage of it and probably ruined it for for most Yeah, like I think in theory working from home could work But so many people just fucked off that which I would do too if I was working for yeah. Yeah so many people just fucked off that. Which I would do too if I was working for them. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. My cool throne is baseball injuries because we have one of the weirdest ones and we've had a lot of weird baseball injuries, but Dustin

May from the Dodgers. So he was rehabbing, I believe he was getting Tommy John and he was coming back and he was about to come back and then he ate a salad and a piece of lettuce tore his esophagus and he was coming back and he was about to come back and then he ate a salad and A piece of lettuce tore his esophagus and he had to get Life-saving surgery that night and that's why he was out for the rest of the year. I'm never eating salad again never So how does that happen? What kind of what kind of lettuce was on the night of July 10th while he was still rehabbing at the Dodgers-Camelback Ranch facility in Arizona, May went to dinner and ordered a salad. After one bite, he felt lettuce stuck in his throat.

Trying to wash it down, he took a quick swig of water. Moments later, he could tell something was wrong. And what May described as a complete freak accident, he unknowingly suffered a serious tear in his esophagus, one that required emergency surgery that night, dashed any hopes of him returning before the end of the season left him with a new perspective on not only baseball but also the fragility of life. So it was, he had to get, he had a full abdominal surgery.

That's insane. I've never heard of anything like this. I have to imagine that he got stuck and then he coughed a whole lot and how does a piece of lettuce, unless it's frozen? I don't know Shredded you're a throat expert But it's gonna be bad. Yeah recall This could happen to you Hank. No, I'm off salads too. No, but but the

Throat. Yeah, the weed the ashes could have burned your esophagus. You could have had a fucking... You could have missed the entire baseball season. That would've been bad. It's a crazy injury. But we should maybe do a Mount Rushmore of crazy baseball injuries this year. Washing your car. If you're a baseball player, never wash your car. You might slip and fall. Yeah. The old John Smoltz burned himself while ironing a shirt that he was wearing. Scottie Shethwares was a baseball injury. What was his again? He was cutting a turkey. Yeah. Glenn Allen Hill ran through a glass table because he was dreaming about spiders. Yeah. I think there was what Joel's Maya, right? He had the guitar hero shower. No,

he had guitar here. Yeah, guitar hero. There's a guitar hero fucked up his wrist. There's been a lot of shower injuries too. Yeah, there's Yeah, so hero. No, yeah, guitar hero. Yeah, guitar hero. Guitar hero fucked up his wrist. There's been a lot of shower injuries too. Yeah, there's, yeah, so there's, we should definitely do that. I like started just looking up a couple of them. I didn't know this one, but Steve Sparks was a reliever for the Brewers in the 90s and he tore, he tore his shoulder cause he tried to rip a phone book after he watched a motivational speaker do it. That's an awesome baseball.

Yeah, I love that. Yeah. So we'll do that. But yeah, Dustin May, I'm happy you're alive, but this is why you don't eat salads. Never eat salad. Never touch the stuff. Never do it. Okay.

He's one of our best friends, coworker, and citizen of the year, Canadian. It is Paul Bissonnette.

We have him on because he actually requested to come on because he said, he said, he said, guys, fellas, The tides have turned US is better than Canada and hockey You're our daddy. These are all his quotes to me. He said I'd like to come on and just and and kneel before the Kings Before Thursday night get ahead of it. So here you are. We're better than you Enjoy your round robin win boys because Thursday night we're going to put on a spanking to you Americans. You guys have been gloating. You've been calling us your 51st state. Okay. You're imposing tariffs on our country and

now you're trying to take our national sport. It ain't happening. Thursday night. You're going to see McJesus, McCarr, McKinnon, and Crosby put on a goddamn show in front of the Boston crowd. You hear me? You hear me, PFT? I'm not saying you're a 54. You're a 52nd. We got to get Greenland in there first and then Canada. You can be 52. Puerto Rico. That's fine. Yeah. 53. We'll get to you guys when, you know, in due course but yeah, though let's talk about that shit pumping in the round robin stage because we kicked your ass biz Admit it admit it was ass-kicking both literally and like in the game, but also we beat the fuck out of you in the fights I would say that the fights were overall a draw. Let's not get carried away here. You guys you guys were at least

Let a listen, let's get serious. We antagonize you. Oh, you want to go? I thought this was a go. Is this hockey? You want to go? Yeah. You want one? No, those stories coming here, boys. No stories in here. All right. Um, well let's get serious for a second. USA hockey is coming and it's here to stay with the amount of development that's going on with the way the NCAA game has evolved. The NDP, I think it's called the National Development Program that they have out of Ann Arbor, which they have like under 16, under 17, under 18 programs. Of course, World Junior, some of those guys are already playing college

who end up playing World Juniors, but you guys have won back to back under 20s, which is the World Junior tournament, gold both years. So there has been a resurgence of hockey in America. A lot of Canadian players, and this is not to take credit, this is not to take credit, a lot of Canadians who have played in American markets have stayed and helped out with development in the minor league program. So it is going to continue to evolve. Big Cat don't make that face. I am not taking credit. I'm saying it's a good thing for the sport growing in the United States of America. And there's 330 million people here. And it's starting to get the respect that it deserves because

of all the work that a lot of people have put in. So shout out to the USA. You guys got some players, not quite to the level of McDavid, McKinnon and McCarr and Crosby or anyone else in the top 10 of all time because those all belong to Canadians. But you guys have came a long way and American hockey is here to stay. Yeah hit him with the over. Yeah. How about Alexander of etchkin biz. How about that. Top 10. He will. You know what. He's going to go down as the greatest goal scorer of all time. Correct. But I don't think that anybody would have them have him in the Mount Rushmore of hockey. There's 10 guys on a top 10 is closer to the Mount Rushmore of hockey

than a vet. I would say that obvious once he passes Gretzky for goals, I would say he's probably yes going to be coming in around like sixth or seventh all time. I think still a lot of people put Stevie Y ahead of him for the amount that he won and also put up points like him, not quite the goals, but from an all around play perspective, Stevie wise, definitely ahead of all the time out sidebar with PFT. You can't listen to this. You can't listen to this. Oh, that was so, that was so patronizing. What he just did. Yeah. He was like, Oh yeah. A bunch of Canadians moved to America and then they had kids. Yeah. And, Oh, you got college and you guys are coming. He didn't say we're here. He said, we're coming. Although

I don't, I don't think that saying when our citizens move to your country for like six months, they want to stay there for the rest of life is the own that he thinks. Yeah. Yeah. So I, we can't let them patronize this. No. All right. Biz you're back. Biz. So we at least beat the fuck out of you in the two of the first three fights in the round. Robin, uh, if you guys have all the studs, how come you didn't win? Well, one of the studs was ill. He was not playing. Oh, making excuses? And where we're a little bit thin in the lineup is on the back end.

And McCarr, a lot runs through McCarr. He's like a 28 minute a game type player in these types of situations. Now, listen, credit goes to the States. Not only did they come out with the fisticuffs, they got punched in the nose with a beautiful accelerating move by McJesus taking McAvoy to the outside, but then they stopped the bleeding. That was the only goal they ended up scoring. McAvoy was physical.

The rest of the team was physical throwing the body around and then they locked things up defensively. They didn't allow McKinnon or McDavid speed to affect them. They did an unreal job of angling in the neutral zone. That's something that you guys need to learn about the angling in the neutral zone to combat that speed coming through the neutral zone. And the Americans did a great job of shutting things down for one game, for one game. It's pretty good punch nose. And I get that. But like I said, Thursday, we're going to find an Thursday, we're going to find

an answer and we're going to bring it to you in your own house. Let me ask you this question, biz. I saw our good friend, Liam Blutman, who's a big puck head, uh, was, was tweeting about the lack of goaltending for team Canada and that a lot of the Canadians grew up wanting to be Sidney Crosby and didn't want to put on the big boy pads. Is there any truth to that or is it overblown and maybe just like a little blip where, you know, the brodure, the long go, the price, the flurry, like that was something special. And you'll get back to that. It's just maybe you're having a little downtrend. Yeah. Goaltending has always been a strength of Canada and they've always been able

to rely on three guys bringing them to these international tournaments. I would say that the position has gotten a little bit weaker in Canada. We still have world-class goaltenders like let's not forget Jordan Bennington won a Stanley Cup with the St. Louis Blues. In fact he did win that game seven in the Boston Garden so he's familiar with the territory. He's now entering for the four nations finals. Also Aiden Hill, who, yeah, maybe he doesn't have this longevity and this big resume that some guys have, but he also won a Stanley Cup with the Vegas gold Knights.

And we do have some young guys in the pipeline. Now the United States has definitely excelled in the goaltending position over the years. Like they have probably five of the top 15 goaltenders in the world now. Hellebuck has been on this incredible run. I would say Hellebuck based on the last five years, not so much in playoffs or in big money games, which is a good thing for Canada going into this one, because the last few years he's had these incredible regular seasons where he won the Vezna last year. He's probably gonna win it this year if he continues, but yet bounced in the first round. So Jake Ottinger is another guy who he

played at BU I believe and and he's an incredible goaltender for the Dallas Stars and there was even a few left off the roster. So that's a position that that Canadians have dwindled in. But nonetheless, still have guys who can get the job done in that. So this tournament has been incredible. It has been awesome.

I think like it's it's going to be on the NHL's wildest dreams. How how successful that has been. I saw that the USA Canada game that the round robin one where we kicked your ass that was the highest rated hockey game outside of the Stanley Cup finals since 2014 so pretty incredible great job by the NHL people are watching this getting excited about hockey is it almost too good though because now I'm like you know regular season NHL is gonna be

weird to go back to after I've had this taste of ultra-nationalism and just like caring so very deeply about a USA hockey game. Well, I think it shows everybody why best on best is so important. And the league came out with a statement actually right before the tournament started where they're going to obviously have the Olympics every four years and the two years like offsetting the Olympics. So every, I guess, still every four years, but offset by two years like offsetting the Olympics so every I guess every still every four years but offset by two years they're gonna have a World Cup of hockey where they're gonna send through control the best on best. Is it gonna go back to

being a little bit boring? Well I wouldn't say that because obviously the quality of of play won't be as high but you're also gonna be down the stretch here for who's gonna try to make playoffs. So the the the caliber and intensity of the NHL will now ramp up with 30 games remaining and so many teams still in the playoff picture. Like the the fact that the way the point system is structured now, it keeps a lot of teams relevant later in the season to have a chance to make a run and and and capture a playoff position. I want to say that there's like, you know, six, seven teams in the east that can still grab that Eastern wild card position.

And on top of that, you kind of have this thing that no one ever thought was even possible in the OV goal chase. No one thought Gretzky's goal record was ever going to be broken. And they thought that with the way that Ovi was going and trending, maybe coming off of last year, that it would take them two, maybe even three years to pass them. And it was going to be like, Oh God, like this is kind of taken forever. No, he hasn't slowed down one bit. He's still at his normal pace where there's a strong possibility that he breaks it like towards game like 80 to 82 in which game 82 they play the Pittsburgh Penguins against Crosby. So for him to break that playing against Crosby, I think that

that would be a monumental moment given the fact that these guys have carried the league for the last 20 years. Yeah. And they did at the same time. Do you think that people in the NHL are surprised at how how engaging it's been and how much people have loved the Four Nations? I think that people were optimistic going in. I think that a lot of people understood how good this American roster was and that all four teams had a possibility to win. It does suck because the Finns had a few injuries on D which kind of made them the fourth man out. But that game changed everything. Like even going back to the first game, Canada versus Sweden, Canada got out to the two, nothing lead and twice Sweden came back from two goal

deficits and it went to overtime. It was this incredible three on three and that kind of set the tone for everything. And I think that that made people even more interested. And then when that game happened, like I don't know if you guys heard, but like you guys know who the Kachuk brothers are. There might be people listening who are not familiar. Walt Kachuk, Keith is his actual name,

is a bona fide Hall of Famer. He will be put on the Hall of Fame. American player who scored 500 goals. He's not on the Hall of Fame yet. The fact that he birthed these two children, and Brady and. He's not in the Hall of Fame yet. The fact that he birthed these two children and Brady and Matthew should put him in the Hall of Fame just for that reason alone. They should put his sperm in the Hall of Fame in its own little section, maybe in like a cloning lab if they want to make more guys who can sell the game because these guys are like these WWE characters who are not only very highly

skilled, they play fucking hard hard they handle their own business and Obviously if they feel threatened in any way they'll punch your face in especially if you're booing their national anthem So they go out there But that afternoon before the game they started a text thread with a guy named JT Miller who's been having a Chaotic year with the Vancouver Canucks who was then traded to the New York Rangers and they basically said, we're going to flip the bell center in Montreal upside down right from the opening face off. And then you guys saw the melee that ensued. So there are so many casual sports fans that are now obsessed with this storyline of these teams meeting back up on Thursday. This, this couldn't have been a better thing for the NHL. Yeah. It's

like makeshift experience that, that took over for an all star game has basically now turned into world war three. And it's we, so this episode that we're airing before, you know, on Wednesday, we started the episode by saying, this is the worst three weeks in like in sports calendar. There's just not a lot. You know, we're, we're in that dog days, NBA, NHL. This has just been incredible. They've just captured everyone's attention. It feels like Thursday night is going to be so much fun. I do have a question for you. Well, I have two questions. One, will it be a crisis when the U S wins on Thursday?

Is it going to be like crisis in Canada? Like, oh my God, we've got nothing. I would say for a week straight, everybody's going to argue about the lineup decisions. There will be conversations of blowing up Hockey Canada and restructuring the whole thing. There'll be dialogue about how hockey, youth hockey specifically is far too expensive, how much it is to rent ice, How much it is to rent ice, how much it is to buy equipment, how the common man has been weeded out. So it would be safe to say yes, it would be a national emergency if we lose that game on Thursday. That would

be fair to say. And then the other question I have for you. So on this same episode, right before you came on, we are putting out the bat signal. We're going to stream because you guys are going to the game or you're not going to the game but Witt and Yans and all them are going to the game right on Thursday night. What are you doing? Are you working? So I've been on the road for a week straight and I've missed basically every flight's been delayed or are canceled minimal sleep. I am going to watch from my living room in peace. Okay great. And zone in, I am going to watch from my living room in

peace. Okay, great. And zone in and I'm going to watch every goddamn second of that game. That's where I want to be on my couch outside the noise. Okay. So we might request for you to maybe zoom in between, uh, between periods to give us a little update. So we're going to stream from this studio. We put out the bat signal for one AWL one listener of this show who is Canadian is going to come watch with us. What do you think that person should be? We're going to screen them basically all day trying to figure out who's who who best fits it. But what do you think we should be looking for in our one token Canadian that we're going to have sit right in the middle of us for this game? Um, you should probably get somebody who has experience playing hockey growing up

in Canada. Okay. Um, I think that you should get a blue collar Canadian who's extremely passionate about hockey. Somebody who has a thick accent. Yeah. You are in Chicago, which is pretty central. Um, it would have been funny for you guys to get like a Maritimer or something it might be easier for you guys to fly in somebody from like Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, maybe Red Deer, Alberta, maybe you know get like a true Westerner I would imagine somebody of that magnitude would have a big impact on the stream to bring their patriotic beliefs in the Canadian hockey to the stream. So if we get it down to three finalists, can I text you the three finalists and have you decide? I would assume that you can just tell by the look of them. We're going to get them to send pictures in and like their credentials.

I would assume that if you just look at a Canadian, you can be like, all right, that's our guy. I would say give me a 30 to 60 second video of them describing why they deserve to be on the stream. And then I'll make my pick according to that. They have to provide maple syrup. And every time the Canadian score that you have to do a maple syrup shot, everybody in room that has to happen okay he's not wearing a Canadian tuxedo he's not invited yeah I think that underneath the Canadian tuxedo like under the jacket he should go shirtless yeah yeah and he should be wearing a toque okay wait what you gonna say Max Hank and I going to try and get them on a zoom

to really get a vibe. Oh, I love that. I love that. All right. So we'll, so we'll get, get us a three finalists, uh, max 30 to second video, 36, 30 to 60 second video. And then biz will decide who the actual person is going to be and Asked them how they would solve the housing crisis in Canada. Okay Who knows maybe he's the next prime minister, yeah biz how would you solve the housing crisis in Canada? I would just build more houses I like the people who solve it on Twitter and they just circle all of Northern Canada. They're like, why don't they build houses here? That's it.

I see that like every week they're like, why is there a housing crisis? Build them here. It's just a circle of like the most barren land that's just so cold, you know, 10 months a year. Like just fucking put the condos here, dude. We'll get back to Biz Nasty in a second. He's brought to you by Sleep Number. Listen up, we're talking about something that's just as important as

It's high ABV and it actually tastes good. It's the official hard seltzer of part of my take. Find a Truly Unruly at a store near you or visit www.trulyhardseltzer.com., here's more Paul Bissonnette. I got a question for you. If this game is so important to you, why don't you put what? Why don't you if you lose this game,

you got to move back to Canada full time. I would I would do that. But if we win, then Trump can't even talk about one more fucking deal and he has to walk back to 51st state comment. Okay, deal. He has to take the podium at the White House and he has to apologize to not only me, but all of my fellow countrymen about some of the inflammatory comments. We've long been friends with Americans.

He started this. I'm sorry about the booze, but they were not directed at people like you. They were directed at the orange man who called us the 51st day. The booze. I, by the way, we love the booze. I want, I want, I want there to be booze back. Like that's what makes sports fun. It's fun. I would say that that the, the, um, like the political climate of this game is that like the perfect place. Yeah. It's like okay. It is serious. I don't think that the tariffs are going to happen. I think he was joking about the 51st state. Let's boo each other.

Let's fight each other and let's go have beers after the game and say, hey, great job, everybody. We did a lot for hockey. Yes. After a 6-2 Canadian victory with McJesus two goals, Mitchie Marner with a goal and an assist, Kale McCarr with one and one, two, and hopefully a Marshawn knuckle sandwich. But could you imagine if we beat you and then you did become the 51st state,

together we would never lose another four nations again. True. We would dominate. Think would together. We would never lose another four nations again. True. We would dominate think about that. We could. We'll add. We'll add Crosby to our roster. We could probably find a spot. He's getting a little older. Probably not. Probably not. McDavid teach the young boy. He doesn't want anything. Yeah. Right. So we probably don't want to concern you that that McDavid's never really won anything. And now you're counting on him to know it doesn't because it's motivated him even more to win this game. I agree with what you're saying Everyone's gonna screw. Hey, listen, I'm not being a hypocrite either. Everybody scrutinized Ovi

Yeah until he won right but he won and then he won and then the monkey was off the back And then everyone called him a winner. So for McDavid, yeah, I think he's one world juniors, but this is, this is a way bigger deal. Would you, there's going to be 15 million people watching worldwide. That would be my assumption as to how many people watch this game. This might go down as one of the most viewed hockey games of all time. So make Jesus has to win the big one now and the torch will be passed if he if he loses this one would it be fair to say that he's the biggest loser of all time. I don't think that would be fair to say okay. All right. Well I just that was just a question. I'm not saying he's the biggest loser of all time. I mean like and this is no insult to

the Bills or is it Jim Kelly is Is that? Yeah. He did win. He or he did lose four times in the Super Bowl, like straight, right? Right. Back to back to back to back. It seems he never lost the USA in this in a sport that his country created. It'd be like he lost the Super Bowl to Canada in football. That's true. That's true. That's a good point. I wouldn't say he's the biggest loser though. I would say that I wouldn't either. My concerns would rise whether or not he can win the big one. Do you think there's a chance McDavid knowing how big this game is on Thursday night? Do you think there's a chance we see him not come off the ice? No, I think he's going to play around. He doesn't want it. You have to drag me off that

ice. I would play all 60 minutes. No problem. They'd have to send the Mounties out there to arrest me and take me off the ice and handcuffs and horseback. This is what we're saying, dude. Like if he, if he wants it this bad, don't come off the ice 60 minutes. So hockey is an anaerobic sport and and it's just you can't be efficient being out there the full 60 minutes it's just impossible you don't want it yeah exactly mind over matter I bet you if you ask one of the why would you want to come off the ice to allow a guy like Sidney Crosby to also play 20 minutes oh you gonna let another man fuck your wife too yeah come on. I'm staying on that ice. He wanted or not. I bet you if you ask the Kachuk brothers right now

Hey, you can play 60 minutes if we ask you to they'd be like fuck. Yeah, we will well We're the cuck in Canadians. We do like to share They come in here finish her off real quick I get tired is I the real reason we asked you on today We're like the Bonnie blues. Biz we love you. Do you think there's going to be fights you think we're going to get we're going to see like at at puck drop first face off are they going to drop the gloves again. So I was trying to do my best Don King impression and we had Drew Doughty on postgame and he's had an individual rivalry with Matthew Kachuk since Matthew Kachuk

entered the league. They were both playing in the West at the time. Matthew Kachuk started with the Calgary Flames. So keep in mind folks, you know, the guy that you guys have been bag licking the most, the Kachuks, they both started their careers in Canada. Brady actually still you literally talked about their father's firm. Yeah. And you're saying that we're bad lickers. They have honed their skills on Canadian ice. Brady has played for the Ottawa Senators, which is the capital of Canada. That's where our parliament is. And Matthew started with the Calgary Flames. And when they would play against the LA Kings and Drew Doughty, they'd always be battling. So I asked after the game, I

said, Hey, Hagel said he wouldn't back down and I know that you've had personal beef with Matthew Kachuk over the years if he asked you and challenged you to fight would you do so and he said I would do anything anything for my country so we may see fisticuffs in that game I don't think we're gonna see him at the drop of the puck but if there's a big hit, maybe a little Tom foolery with a running of the goaltender, I think there's a strong possibility that they shed the mitts and they go toe to toe toe to toe. Okay. So wait, so Matthew Kachuck started with the flames in Calgary and then he had to come to beef. So he had to

come to America to win a Stanley cup. Is that what you're saying? He honed his skills on Canadian soil. Okay. Yeah. To propel him, propel him to learn how to be a winner. Just like all the people who played in the NHL who are Canadian who settled in the United States, who helped you guys become a strong hockey nation. Does it? Give thanks us now. Does it bother you when we bring up that Canada hasn't won a Stanley Cup and whatever it's been like 30 years, even though every team that wins a Stanley Cup is full of Canadians?

Because we've been helping you guys hone your skills. You just slap a tariff on us for all the Canadians over here to play hockey We didn't even ask for thanks for it. All we wanted was your respect and dignity We've received none of it. Well that I mean that guy's like they call him Connor McJesus. He's never won a big one We got big guns like Austin Matthews certified winner that's going to score a game winning goal. Here we got hockey boosting your economy and now there's threats of you guys crippling ours after everything we've done for you. So I would refrain from your booze that Boston garden there Mr. Big Cat. All right. So I got a question for you Biz. The real reason we asked you on. Okay. Do you have a problem with your hands down your pants? I kind of, when I'm like, you know, nestling up to get a little nap, I don't mind having

my hand on my junk. Okay. Cause there was a video, there was a video that came out of the, of the chicklets boys coming back from Canada, uh, down to Boston after the game on Saturday and you were passed out hands so far down your pants. What do you have a statement about that? I think Al Bundy was onto something. Okay. Okay. Just keep it in for warmth. That was kind of fucked up. They got you dirty on that one. Yeah, they did. Kind of like how the Americans started the game. Sneak attack. This is war. I'm hoping that Canada deploys the nukes like Tom Wilson. This is war. We have our own guy that puts his hand on his dick. That's Max Max. It's just always, there's nothing wrong with that. It's comfortable. Yes, it is comfortable. I didn't

Sometimes I don't even I don't realize that I'm doing it which is bad when you got big meaty clankers down there You gotta move around. Yeah. Yeah, that's I just wanted them for there. There are Canadian natural harm hand warmers. That's what we call I do put my hands down my pants all the time the CFL the the quarterbacks don't have that they're that pouch They just put their hand on their nuts in the midst of the game. That's the Canadian football league. Oh, I'm, I'm so excited for this. This is just such a huge win. We talked about it over the weekend, but what hockey did to the NBA this weekend, it couldn't have been a bigger difference. Like the NBA and I love the NBA and I love playoff basketball, but that was unwatchable on Sunday night. Whereas hockey has found something that is gotten everyone so excited and like just so I'm, I'm looking forward to Thursday night. Like it's a playoff game for one of my teams. Oh, and as if this game needed a little extra spice, there is

rumblings that, uh, uh that the greatest American defenseman on the planet who is too injured coming into the tournament is now going to lace him up for the finals. He hadn't played one game, didn't even attend the tournament and they're calling in the infantry. Yeah. So Quinn Hughes, Quinn Hughes, this kid is unbelievable to watch. And for those of you who don't follow hockey much, if he does play, he's a water bug out there. You could also argue the fact that Kale McCarr is also a modern day Bobby Orr, but the way that him and Quinn Hughes are able to move around back there and walk the blue line with

their Shakira hips and their edge work with their skates and how they're able to find lanes to the net and they're a single man breakout. They don't even need anybody else on the ice to snap it around with. They could just take it up the ice themselves. They're fascinating to watch. Another guy to look out for, Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Walrinski played at the University of Michigan. He's had a tremendous season. Because of the injuries that Quinn Hughes has sustained and some of the time he's missed, he could actually maybe win the Norris ahead of him. I think that he should also be in the heart conversation also based on what he's done

for the Columbus Blue Jackets alone. Jacob Slaven, a smothering defenseman with a great stick. Another young defenseman in Brock Faber who plays in Minnesota, the general manager of Team USA is Bill Guerin and he brought this youngster on the team and he has showed him that he looks like a genius for even adding him to the roster like he incredible shutdown game against the Canadians. As far as the Fords are concerned Jack Eichel he won a Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights this kid is unbelievable the way that he moves up and down the ice the way that he plays on the defensive side of the puck as well the way that he moves up and down the ice, the way that he plays on the defensive side of the puck as well, the way that he's able to spread the puck out and distribute it,

yet being so reliable. He is, to me, he's like Shasha Barkov for the Florida Panthers. Just like that's how good he is at playing a full 200 foot game. Austin Matthews, who scored 69 goals last year with the Toronto Maple Leafs, giggity giggity, he is a lethal sniper for the Americans as well. He has not scored a goal yet in this tournament, but look for him to potentially have an explosive game. I could go on and on about all the talent that has been developed on the American side,

all thanks to the Canadians. Those are some of the guys. We got two sets of brothers. Isn't that largely in thanks to strong rugged American sperm? That goes without saying the Kachuk brothers are the modern day bash brothers. They literally foreshadowed this in the mighty ducks movies about these two. Okay. The modern day bash brothers and they are WWE superstars at the way they can also handle the mic. So I am grateful for these guys and helping grow the game. But on Thursday they're going to get absolutely fucking worked. Mark

my words. All right. Yeah. Give me a prediction. Final prediction. Six to two. Six Jesus will rise. Make Jesus will rise. They will light up Hellebuck in an elimination situation. When all the chips are on the table, he is unproven. He is unproven. And Canada will take advantage of that. And Jordan, the snowman Bennington will have an incredible performance for the Canadians in that. And 62 is ridiculous. Mark my words is disrespectful spanking. And it'll be a message to you, all the casual hockey fans, and that orange man in the White House for threatening the tariffs on us.

I mean, I wasn't planning on booing O Canada. Oh, I'm going to boo now. But because of the disrespect you just demonstrated towards our country. And I thought we were friends. I thought we were friends. My Canadian brothers, I love them, but Biz unfortunately had to open his big mouth

and say all the mean stuff about the United States. Now I am forced to boo the national anthem. Yeah, you started this, and I didn't boo the national anthem. Yeah, you did. I respect all the freedoms that this country has provided me and my family. I respect that.

You guys disrespected us first. We are not a 51st state. I can't wait till we steal your, I mean, you should just shut down Canadian hockey. It's over. It's over. Are you guys done? I actually have one last question. Row back question. RHOBACK.COM promo code take. 20% off your first purchase. Q-zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, row back.com promo code take. Where are you at right now with Black Friday? I mean, I'm not a fan of Black Friday. I'm not a fan of Black Friday. I'm not a fan of Black Friday. promo code take 20% off your first purchase. Q Zip's polos hoodies, joggers, shorts, rollback.com promo code take a where are you at right now with Blackhawks Twitter because you've been

in a beef over Connor Bidard. I actually had your back biz on the stretch pod. We were talking about it. I had your back because I do think the one thing that always drives me nuts is when people are like, Oh oh biz like I think they put up a graphic like biz had this many points but yards had this many points in the last five weeks just because biz didn't score 500 goals doesn't mean you can't talk about the game if anything I'd rather have guys like you talk about the game because you didn't have all God's given talent and you had to work your ass off to get to the NHL. So I had your back on that. I think that's bullshit when people try to be like, biz babe, you know, had this many

goals. Well, he can't talk about anyone. I may have been a plug, but I do understand the game. Right. I sat right, right in front of the coach. Most of my career right in the middle of the bench and observed and paid attention to all the little details of the game, every video session. And I had to pay attention to those details because if I didn't I wouldn't have been in the lineup and if I would have messed one of those little details up I would have been out of the lineup. So I was just trying to help a dart I personally think I should be on the payroll with the Chicago Blackhawks based on me helping him train this summer on that hike we did. Helping him with his face-offs at the Winter Classic.

Yep. When we did that little video in which what's happened since, his face-off percentage has improved. You're welcome. And then he was getting a little bit sloppy defensively, so I called it out. If the coaches don't want to call it out, I will, because you guys ain't going to win no Stanley Cups if he's playing defense like that. So you're welcome, big cat. Okay. You're welcome. So, so are you like, has it

simmered down? Have you talked to Badaard at all? I respect Blackhawks Twitter for having their boys back. I respect that. But I was just calling it how I saw it. If you're going for a Stanley Cup big cat and there's a big fat juicy rebound in the front of the net, do you want your centerman who's supposed to be in support swinging into the corner and not stopping in front to potentially rid of the danger of the puck just sitting there in the crease? What do you think? I want him getting the puck out of there. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. And that's all I was saying on television. And then they got poopy pants because their team sucks and they're going to be another lottery team. Yeah. The black has not good. But I listen, Bernard has played better since you, you made those comments. So you, I, I

appreciate you calling it out. He was incredible in the third period of that game. And then the next game he played against Nashville, given all the negative media attention surrounding it, he had a goal and an assist. I think that although not like Nathan McKinnon dog in him, or maybe like an assassin like Kucherov, I believe that he does have dog in him and it will eventually be unleashed. He's too stubborn not to become one of the greats. Some people are questioning his speed, his defensive effort, maybe his lack of compete in some situations. I'm not crazy about his body language some of the time,

but I think that this kid is very young, he's very determined, and he's gonna figure it out with my help, another fellow Canadian. Are you, would you ever coach? You know what? I don't think that people would take me seriously as a coach, given my, my like how big of a clown I am. Yeah. But maybe down the road I would consider it. You'd be a good coach. I mean

I think you would just knowing you how you can relate to everyone. I feel like that's half a coaching is being able to just talk to people and get on their level and you're able to do that. Let's say this after we eventually maybe win a Chicklets Cup in which we're actually competing against you and Keith Yanos team. That's our team. Yeah. So let's win one of those first. Yeah, that'll be good. Resume builder. That's true. I forgot you have been a coach of a team that has cannot win a roller hockey game. Let's let's win that and then hopefully spend a little time with John Gruden, allow maybe some of his skills

to rub off on me and then maybe I'll consider. I love it. All right. I had one last thing I want to bring up because it was maybe my favorite, one of my favorite videos that I've seen this year. You were lucky enough to sing on stage with Nickelback. Oh yeah.

There's no higher honor that a Canadian man can get than that. Do you feel like maybe you blew the Canadian load too early like that's something you do After you win the four nations and now it's like okay candidates reach its peak already Paul Bissonnette was up there singing Rockstar with Nickelback. Where do we go from here? I Never really looked at it that way Before you mentioned it and a little fun fact Nickelback is Conor McDavid's favorite band so maybe

there was a little bit of jealousy and distraction at the fact that I got the limelight with Nickelback maybe that's why he's distracted from winning the big one but I would say no no don't put those negative thoughts in my head it was an honor to get up there on stage with those guys I believe there are over 70 million albums sold worldwide and those guys could put on an unreal 90 minute show. They rocked it out the bird's nest. Jerome McGinla, another fellow Canadian was in attendance. He scored 600 goals in the

national hockey league. I was just surprised that he didn't get asked up. There was other hockey players there. So I guess the Irish traveler situation is what put me over the edge and as the local citizen of the year. That's why I eventually got the nod and was able to perform. But quite the honor. Nervous going in. But I got to thank our boy Glennie Balls. Yep. Who was there, who had actually already sang with Nickelback and gave me a nice little pep talk beforehand in order to calm my nerves. So I gotta thank Only Stance.

And he also got me a Bonnie Blue message for my Toronto Maple Leafs. So he's just on fire. He's basically my life coach at this point. I think you're in love with Bonnie Blue because you talked about her earlier, you mentioned her again, and then I saw earlier today,

you said that you would eat her box if it meant that Tom Wilson would play on Team Canada. Yes. I think that it would be a detractor to the to the the Bash brothers. I call them the BBLs because Keith Kachuck called the sons lunatics. So I call them the the the the Bash brother, Bash brother lunatics, the BBLs. Okay, I think that Tom Wilson, considering that Quinn Hughes hasn't played a game this tournament and they're going to add him to the final roster, more than likely, I figure that they should just open the floodgates and allow any person to now enter the tournament. So Tom Wilson is a very feared individual. He for checks like a motherfucker.

He will take a 20 gamer and elbow you right in the jaw. And if he could be added to this and we could throw in the nukes, I would muck Bonnie blue's been Bonnie blue waffle. Uh, everyone, everyone subscribed to spit and chiclets. So biz on Thursday night, we're going to have you pick our Canadian. And then I was talking to Grinnelli as well. So we're going to we're going to stream in here and because the boys are going to the game we're going to try to get them to zoom in a little bit like during intermission and we'll try to hopefully get you on as well. You guys can actually tell us what we're watching but hockey back. I look forward to seeing this Canadian that

you're going to bring on. I hope he brings us luck. Yeah. Yeah. Cause if he doesn't, then I don't. He's going to bring you free bird. That's what he's going to bring. You're gonna get free bird into death. I have one last thing to say. Yes. Oh, boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo away the prohibition.

Hey guys, long time listener, first time caller. The other day, the other night during pregame, my boyfriend and his friend both had to pee. Instead of taking turns like decent human beings, they decided to cross streams. My boyfriend says they saved water, which is good for the environment, but I think that maybe they're gay is this a normal thing for guys to do They might have been in a bathroom. Yeah, they might have been lying to you to maybe one side I've done it before where you go to the bathroom and you guys are pussies. I used to I mean yeah Come on well cross all the time one dude pees in the shower the other guy peas across the stream is funny. It is funny Stream yeah, I'll be also these guys

Could have been thinking about Josh Allen winning MVP if they went to the bathroom together Just throwing that out there. Yeah But yeah, I this is no I do it my son all the time I feel like the I do with you guys. I do do with you hundred percent. I don't give a shit I have not crossed streams like that probably since I was a kid. Yeah I feel like I did it inside like taking pisses outside. You just kind of do it next to each other Yeah crossing stream. You don't actually have to sword fight. No sword fighting now. I College I would cross streams for sure

It's also what's your favorite drunk move to do it in the bathroom Like if you're like in with like a bunch of urinals I like to grab my friend's shirt and pull him back when they're when they're taking a piss. That's always fun That's a good one. I like just dropping trowel all the way to the ankles. That one's good, too Yeah, just ass out in the bathroom. Yeah, or just lightly Do you guys ever lightly just not piss on their shoes but piss close to their shoes give him a little warning shot No, no. Yeah, that's fun, too. Matt. I think Max and I are the same. Well, yeah guys are not doing it Right. I like really loading up for a fart in the bathroom. I have some friends in college They they would just take videos of themselves taking a piss in a stall and just pissing all over

Yeah, like those make me not even close to the toilet. Those are the meanest things, but they make me laugh every time I see the tweets where it's someone being kicked out to Allen bang for three from way downtown, and it's just them pissing on the, like in the sink or something or on the ground. You know what I like doing? I love those tweets.

I like going up to your journal at the same time as somebody and then you agree to take like one step back Every couple seconds and you see you can continue pissing into the urinal. Yeah longest ice to the thing Oh game I used to do this thing in college where it was like a super crowded shoulder shoulder to shoulder College bar and the line to the bathroom be super long So you would just go up and pretend like you're ordering a drink and just piss On the side of the bar. Oh, yeah Still one of the funniest moments that I think of probably like once every couple months is one of the floor Yeah on the floor on the bar like you're like hey, can I you're talking?

You're like hey, can I see can I get two trulies as you're, as you're pissing on the bar? My, uh, I went to the Rose bowl with all my college friends. I think it was the 20 whatever. It was the Oregon one and we were just, we lost and pissed off, went to dinner later. We're in a booth and like two of my friends, like one of those huge boosts that like takes forever to get out of. And one of my friends on the end was just in a bad mood. He just started pissing in my other friend's lap across the booth and he couldn't get up. That's it. He couldn't move. He was just stuck there. Oh, so he literally like jumped back. He's like, what the fuck? And there was just a stream of piss going into his lap. That

shit's funny. That's funny. Didn't it happen didn't happen to Drake did it yeah I think Drake got pissed on oh what like in what setting I think he was like it at a movie theater or something that's awesome yeah dude listen maybe not like I assume these guys are in their 20s yeah this is when you do it do Do it. Enjoy it. Piss on each other. It's fun. Funny. Very funny. Pissing in trash cans. Do that all the time when there's a like at a game. Yeah. I mean, peeing outside is way more fun than peeing inside. Yeah. Hi, big cat and PFT. My boyfriend is in the group chat with seven other guys he grew up with. They're on their early thirties. They have a main chat and sub chats for certain topics.

One of them is about sex and my boyfriend is the only one in that friend group that refuses to join that sub chat should I be proud of him that he keeps our sex life private or should I be concerned he doesn't have some locker room talk with his boys thanks he's in the chat he he just tells you that he's not at the chat because he knows that you're gonna bother him be like tell me what's in that chat yeah what did you say about me in that chat mm He's he's probably the most in that chat. That's that's kind of a weird chat. I feel like, yeah, I feel like that stuff is like.

If you're single or like kind of dating around, like that's college, you're talking about like your fiance or like, yeah, it's kind of like, all right. Like, you know, you know them. Yeah, I hit that. Yeah. It's what I think it's awesome if, yeah, if you're single and you're cruising, but then the second your friend has a girlfriend It's like I don't want to hear that. Yeah, that's gross. Yeah Yeah, kind of weird chat But piss on your guys. That's cool for sure

Just so we know the lines if it's in the shower you you're trying to prevent them from getting athletes for them Speaking of shower my husband I'm 99% sure Uses our shower as his jerk-off spot I've never caught him, but he usually takes very long showers And I swear the drink continues to clog worse and worse He blames it on my hair getting in the drain or that he's pooping prior to showering Which is why it takes so long is he pooping in the however?

I'm the one who always cleans our shower weekly and find only fine hair on the walls plus I've cleaned some questionable substance off the shower floor. What's my best course of action? Should I bust in the bathroom on one of his especially long showers to catch him or just ask him to jerk off somewhere else and call him out on it? It's kind of gross, kind of awkward. You can't ask him to jerk off somewhere else. Is any place okay?

That should be one of the sacred places that a man has. Also, it is your hair. It is your hair that's clogged in the drain. It's not semen. No, there's that thing that goes viral every year. Somebody puts up a fake picture at their college that says like, you guys need to stop jerking off in the showers because it's clogging the drains. That's never happened. Yeah. Drains are robust in America.

Yeah. Just let them shower. Let them enjoy a shower. Also, it depends on the time like I I you guys probably agree like Winter time I take longer showers. I just get stuck in the hot shower and you just don't get out There's something to the shit thing too. Sometimes I do that all the time I'll turn the shower on let it heat up while I'm taking a piss. Yeah Yeah, he's not pooping in the shower unless he's doing the thing where you stop on the you stop Yeah, well celebrity that did that. I don't know. I thought that's definitely he's sitting on the toilet and jerking off While letting the shower run wait you'd say he's blumpkin in himself. Yeah He's shitting and shitting shit then giving himself a blumpkin. Yeah

also, yeah Google says no a shower drain is highly unlikely to clog yeah semen alone makes no sense Yeah, I think that was a college myth. Yeah big Big time. Wait, there was, I, why am I remembering? So there was some, like, it wasn't true. It was kind of like the Richard Gere gerbil thing where like some A-list celebrity would just shit in every shower he ever went into in a hotel and then just step, mash it down the drain with his foot. I wish someone would tell me. I think it was Jeff Goldblum. It might have been yeah Alright last one when football season ended

I was excited to spend more time with my boyfriend on Sundays But this Sunday he played golf in the morning got home around 3 turned on golf and when that ended he immediately turned on NASCAR Which he's literally never watched Was talking about some parlay and how he had to watch does Does it ever end? When can I spend time with him on weekends? Yeah, listen, this was a tough Sunday. This is that he was trying to Fill the void and come down from everything that's happened in the last five months So you got to give him this one, but yeah, he's got to give you a couple He'll give you a couple Sundays here and that is really pushing the limits though for a girlfriend. That's that's used to

obviously football basketball Baseball hockey and then he's like, oh, yeah, we're doing golf in NASCAR on Sunday But yeah, this is a tough. This is a transition weekend. Yeah, he can't just jump right into Oh, you know, let's go apple picking or whatever the fuck you do. You can't really do anything in February Well, it sounds like you there somewhere warm. Yeah, it sounds like he golfed. Yeah, it's true. That'd be funny if he just went that'd be funny if you just went to a simulator All right good show boys Numbers Now the word one by the way, just just clear that. Oh wow.
