Technically alive.

Our brains might be dead, but our body, our heart's still beating. And it's still beating because we had such an electric first round of the NBA draft. Oh my God. It was thrilling for everybody, I think. I actually had second round grades on everybody selected in this draft.

The entire first round and the second round included. Yeah, I mean, the most notable things things have happened so far in the draft. We're actually recording this right before we think Brawny's going to get drafted by the Lakers. Apparently Rich Paul has been calling everyone saying that if he doesn't get drafted by the Lakers or the Suns, he's going Australia. Get ready to put another strip on the Barbie. Yeah, get ready to learn Australian, buddy.

So we're waiting for that. Oh, Cam Spencer just got not drafted? Drafted. Cam Spencer just got drafted by... Wait, I thought... Oh, yeah, Cam Spencer can't come back. Celtics are up. The draft, the biggest note I had was Alex Sarr, the second pick. Your Washington Wizards. Baby Wimby. Does look

like Caitlin Clark. That's fine. You see that viral tweet? I did see it. And it it's hard it's like the Troy Aikman Jay-Z. She's a winner. Yeah. Well kind of never won a big one. I mean I would I would be ecstatic if the Wizards lost like three NBA championships in a row. Yeah. That would give me so much fun stuff to root for. True., I'm into that What if the cells do the funniest thing ever in drafted Brian? I would love it to be amazing All right, we'll find out in a second. Yeah, this was the least notable NBA draft I I'm hoping this draft we took we go back to it and we're like it was so loaded everyone got it wrong

That's what I'm rooting for there. Maybe there's some people in the second round. They're gonna be great I got two things. I'm a little little bit off about permission to go there. Yeah. Do your fucking trades like a normal league. Correct. Do your trades normally. Don't announce them. Normally. Announce them normally. Do them normally. They don't announce them. Announce them normally. Yeah. What the hell is going on via via via? No, just put a different logo on there. I'm dumb. I can't understand. I see the first team and then I'm like, oh their logos everywhere That must be who this player is getting picked by do it normally and then he announced it way after yeah

Just tell me what happened. We know what happens. Yeah, every other league has this figured out. Why does the NBA? What is it? That's different about basketball? I don't know that makes them do it all very bizarre very bizarre. I hate it figured out number two the other team should draft Bronnie take and hold them hostage for LeBron James to come rescue him. I think we talked about that like three weeks ago when we did our big draft preview, huge draft preview. But now everyone's giving credit to Bill Simmons for it. Yeah. Oh, well. Oh, it happens. It happens. It happens in the podcasting game. Yeah, Brawny, this has been the whole broadcast,

by the way, is just Brawny. That's why they went two days. They did not need to go two days. I don't know why. Here's another one. NBA, I like it. I love basketball. I love the NBA.

You're not the NFL. You don't get two days. Okay? The first round was already a bunch of French guys and people that we didn't watch play basketball last year. And now you're going to make us do two days of this? That's another thing. Too many French. Way too many French. The takeover is happening. Dr. Naismith is rolling over in his peach basket. Yeah. I did...

The Bulls drafted Matas Bouselis, and I did actually see him up close and personal because he worked out at Barstool Chicago, and I had a first one-one grade on him. Oh, did you? Yep. That's tremendous value, then. Yep. I saw him. He made some shots.

No one was guarding him. How's he gonna pair with... That guy is awesome. How's he going to pair with Josh Giddy? Fine. Good. Get along. He's French? No, he's from Hensdale. Hensdale. Is Highland Park just like the biggest town in Toronto? No, that's where we just played golf. I think a lot of people are from Highland Park. That's where we just played golf. I think a lot of people are from Highland Park. Matas, what were you going to say? I was going to call out Hank for laying down on the couch. I'm trying to watch.

Trying to watch. Trying to watch. That's why I turned it off and you were like, but you asked what I was going to say, that's what I was going to say. Hank, you got Baylor Sharman. He's another guy you can mistake for Christophe Spruzingis. He's a lefty. I love what I saw from Baylor

I did have them on lefties are the best. Yeah I shoot the rock. I I based my entire graph draft profile on what was that guy's name from Duke? Line Christian Leitner. No Drafted by the piston not singular This hurts our NBA Street cred what the fuck was his name He was a lefty. He I think he's still in the NBA He was a lefty and he and he Josh rebel behind his his back Lefty and hard. Oh, yeah, Luke canard. There is where he's played for now Clippers

Sounds like you'd be duck Luke canard What does he play for? Memphis no Memphis I Hank you have selected Anton Watson from Gonzaga. Hell yeah Watson quick thoughts. Huh-huh Anton what it's from Gonzaga Anton when I hear Anton you think Gonzaga. He's from Gonzaga. Anton. When I hear Anton. You think Gonzaga.

I think Anton. Anton Walker. Anton Watson is from Idaho. Nice. That's close. That's like the France of the United States. Probably about the same size. They both love potatoes.

Oh, this is a fun fact about Anton Watson. He went to Gonzaga Prep School in Spok about Anton Watson. He went to Gonzaga Prep School in Spokane, Washington and then went to Gonzaga. That's fun. That's pretty cool. He's only played for Gonzaga. Yeah, this draft is pretty unremarkable. Yeah, Max, how do you, how we feel about your fingernail bros? Hold on, Meme just said that bronic breaking news breaking news breaking moves JJ reddick looks weird in the Lakers hat. I'll say that right now breaking moves Memes little saw us What's the breaking my brain my brain is over I almost said the Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Lakers. Huh are selecting Brawny James with the number 55 pick in the 2024 NBA draft sources say. LeBron and Brawny James to become the first ever father-son duo to be in the NBA at the same time. Of all the shocking things I've seen in my life, this has got to be number one. Wait, isn't he? Epitism strikes again. Isn't he going to go to Australia?

He said if any team drafted him. He's going to Australia. Shams keeps getting his account locked. All right. I'm looking forward to to Brawny on the Lakers This is gonna be good for the storylines Yeah, how about all this way? How do you fall that far? That's crazy. Are they gonna live together? I like I said what it oh, no, we actually said in the Jimmy Chetro interview. Yeah, I can't say it again I'd be ripping off my own mind All right, congr to Lakers. Congrats

to Brawny. Congrats to Brawny. Well deserved. I'm going to say that. I'm going to be really nice humble. You know what stinks though for Brawny going on your first like road trips with an NBA team, you're a baller. Maybe you got a contract, a few dollars in your pocket and then your dad is hanging out with you. Yeah But your dad I mean he'll show him It'd be cool. You know, they'll have fun together. So doesn't JJ look weird in the Lakers hat He looks weird in a hat. Yeah, we need to get will Compton's thoughts on that He sounds like you're being a hater. Do you hate JJ? Alright, so brawny to the Lakers official No one could have seen that coming. Max, fingernails. Fingernails. I painted my fingernails today.

For this, for this five seconds. For this five seconds. Oh no. I regretted this. Yeah, why? Like immediately after I did it, I regretted it. Who talked you into it? Oh, look at the Lakers. They're shaking hands. We got them. We got them. Got them in. How'd you into it? Oh, look at the Lakers are shaking hand. We got him. Got her man. How do we do this? Wow. Incredible work. Uh, so max, yeah, the fingernails or is that it? Uh, no, I like Jerry McCain. I think he's good. I was like, I was fired up about him last night and then I text. Good. He is good. He's very good. And then I texted page and I was like, can you bring the fingernailil and I did the fingernails thing this morning And then the more time has passed the less I care about it

And now I just have white white painted fingernails gonna be like that for a while now. Yeah, I mean I can take them off Yeah, I but I had like last night. I was like I'm gonna recreate all I'm gonna recreate his tik-toks I'm like I'm not doing any of that. Yeah, you should recreate one Maybe I maybe I'll recreate one. Yeah yeah but he's the best shooter in the draft he's best shooter since Steph Curry better than Reid Shepard Reid Shepard led the league in three-point percentage I'll read you this stat there have been two freshmen in NCA history with a 0.6 11 plus true shooting percentage 210 three-point attempts and 150 plus rebounds and that's Jeremy Kane and Steph Curry Okay, but read shout out David Murphy, but Reid Shepard shot better from three

I don't think you understood my stat that I just said yeah, because I I don't think you understand my stat that I just said You can choose your stats. I'll choose my stats. Okay. I, you know what? I'm excited to see LeBron and Brownie. No, it's gonna be good for- It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be good for talking about basketball. Yeah, it's gonna be fun.

It's gonna get annoying, because it's gonna be all... a lot of people talk about basketball, but I'm excited to watch them play together. It's cool. Father-son, that's fucking cool. If they throw, if one of them throws an alley-oop to the other that's gonna be a good moment This is gonna be crazy. Yeah, this is cool. I think it's kind of weird for brawny, but it's cool I think it's a little bit weird for both of them. Yeah. Oh

Not for Lebron. He's Lebron. I don't think anything's weird for him anymore It's a little bit weird and we'll get to that with Jimmy Tatro. Yeah Okay, the other the only other story I had from this draft was Zach Eady the Grizzlies I was worried the Bulls were gonna take him. I wish him luck Congrats to Zach Eady for real being a top 10 pick because I think that was a lot of people were ripping him I always ripped him for different reasons not that he couldn't play basketball But a lot of people like oh, you know get ready to learn like Slovenian, but he's top 10 pick pretty good. He made a lot of money We'll see how he gets officiated in the NBA. Yeah, that's fine

Any other notable? I mean Dalton connect fell all the way to 17 Which was a little shocking and I don't have any other big things except Kyle filpowski story is very weird. It's beyond weird. Also weird that we didn't find out about this till today? Yeah, that he didn't, we didn't know about his old girlfriend who is potentially recruiting him to be a Mormon, and he hasn't talked to his family.

Yeah, he's got a 28-year-old girlfriend who has been dating him since he was a senior in high school. It is funny that he got drafted by Utah. Yeah, this is all part of the plan Oh, but I think he fell in the draft because of this to Utah Yeah, maybe Utah told everyone I I think he fell in the draft because I think he was gonna be a first-rounder in it he had apparently weird answers in his interviews and Yeah, didn't know that.

It's very interesting. You know that it might've been the exact same thing as brawny. It's like if you draft him, he will instead just move to Utah. Yeah. So don't draft him. Yeah. All right. Any other big pictures, any other tea? You know what? I'm going to, I'm going to say it. Uh, everyone filled the need. Yeah. You know what? Everyone got a nice developmental project that we would not be surprised looking back five years from now and saying, that's a good role player. I'm really rooting for this draft to be awesome because it would be great to just shine it on everyone's face like no one knows Paul. That would be great. Yeah, but I think they

even had it on the ESPN broadcast after Zachari Risacher, the first pick overall. I think someone said like he's a great 3andD guy role-player type. Yeah that's what you want to hear with the number one overall. Yeah that's never that's never a great sign. Okay anything else before we kick it to ourselves again quick reminder about our schedule coming up. Monday we have Dungeons and Dragons. Wednesday we'll have an update of all NBA free agencies, so it'll be a fresh show, but it will be also Dingers Only and Gunnar Henderson. So that is our schedule. No show Friday. And then we come back strong with Joe Burrow on the Monday after July 4th. Anything else? I think that's good.

Okay. NFL Sunday ticket lawsuit. The NFL has to pay $4.7 billion. But Mike Fiorio said it's just going to stay in appeals forever. Probably. But what does that mean? 4.7 billion. Does that mean we all get like 200 bucks? Sure.

Okay. Debate thoughts before it happens. Oh, I... America loses. No, here's my problem with the debate tonight. This should have been my FireFest actually. I don't know who to vote for. I'm undecided. I think they're both great candidates and I think they both made a lot

of outstanding points tonight and did a great job. And I think this is going to be a very hard decision because they're both I'm I'm an undecided voter and this is it's making my life very tough. I wish you'd not ask this question. America loses. I have a country of 360 million people and all we can find is two guys that are fucking 80 years old. And America loses. We have a country of 360 million people and all we can find is two guys that are fucking 80 years old. America loses. Two 80 year old guys with cokehead sons. Yeah. Good debate thoughts.

I was once a CrossFitter. I was able to stay out of the it becomes my entire personality but there are definitely a group of people who do crossfit and they only become friends with other crossfitters And they talk about doing crossfit They talk kind of faded the the fat of cry like it was the peak was probably about what maybe ten years ago

There's a lot of gyms that are crossfit adjacent now that open up. Yeah, that but the the crossfitter I'm talking about is the one that uses all the lingo. The one that they speak in CrossFit language. Yeah. And they ask each other constantly, how'd you do on the workout of the day? And then they end up getting massively, massively injured. Yeah. CrossFit.

And then they become a former CrossFitter and they try to rehab so they can get back into CrossFit and get injured again. And they vacation in CrossFit. Like, oh, there's a competition in San Diego. Let can get back into CrossFit and get injured again. They vacation in CrossFit. Like, oh, there's a competition in San Diego. Let's go do some CrossFit.

That was, yeah, that was going to be my, my pick. I thought it was going to slip. Yeah, that's a good pick. Swifties. I was thinking about it late last night and I was like, I was going through the ones that will probably get picked I was like Swifties are just They're all they have an entire world that they've constructed. Yeah, it's almost like a cinematic universe around Taylor Swift. Yeah Yeah, that was my one and two also.

It sure I'll take it, but is it a hobby Yeah, okay Sure, I'll take it. But is it a hobby? Yeah. Okay. Something you do for, I don't know, I guess, I mean.

I think the making of the child is something you do for fun. Yeah. No, it would be a significant other, have counted as well. Like that's a, that's.

Uh Sports gambling. Yep. That was the one That was that one you could accuse me of yep, but I've been doing that for a very long time, but it's hey it's become More I actually had it my on my list is not sports gambling, I had parlay guy. Yeah.

Because it's the, oh I have seven more legs in my parlay. Jerry. Yeah. And it's also the thing, if you don't know a couple guys at an outing, it's like, you got anything today? Yep. Yep. That's a good pick.

Yeah, you know what a lot of these is their personality personality. Yeah, it's kind of cool to be like, I don't know. No, I respect it. You know what? A lot of these- But it is their personality.

In a lot of these, it's not necessarily disrespect to put them on this list because guess what? As you get older, your hobbies do become a big part of your personality. Yeah, you just don't... This is a list though of people who it becomes their entire personality. All of these things can be part of your personality and it'd be normal, but if it just is the only thing you talk about you become that person You're a Swifty. You're a CrossFitter. Yeah, that's if people think of that as number one That's where you get into you know issues So dealing with a lot of car guys recently

I it's made me realize how little I actually know about cars because the first thing that they ask me is like, okay So what's your level of automotive experience? I tell them nothing. And then they say, okay, well, take this part and then do this. I'm like, I don't know what either of those two parts. So I have to make them dumb it down to like three levels of magnitude. Are you talking about the black thing that makes noise? Yes. Okay. That thing. Okay. There are two of those. Which one of those is that that you're talking about? Yes. Yes. Okay. Good picks picks We got some hot picks Hank I'll take it before someone else does golf oh

Okay, I'd even have it on there. You know anybody like that. I had it fun. I had it. Yeah No, I had it on it there, too. I had it. I was debating between car and golf, but yeah I mean it's tough. You know usually they're not even that good. We're just bearing our souls. It's it's all they talk about it I knew this is gonna happen. Yeah, I mean it is I Don't care that it's I don't think it's from my whole personality, but it is oh it has it's a large 100% it consumes my brain. I enjoy golf. It's a hobby that I like to play I enjoy you know gambling and golfing and having fun with my friends. Yeah But yeah, it's definitely on that category. Yeah. Okay.

You were wearing a shirt that was made out of golf balls yesterday. Yeah. Shout out to Roback. It's a sick shirt. It is. It is a sick shirt. Okay. I'll go with another new age one.

Crypto people. Yeah. Crypto people. It's when you see NFT, Bitcoin. That's literally all they want to talk about. Have fun being poor, big cat. They just want to tell you about every crypto that's ever been created and you're like, do you live in the real world still or you just crypto?

Are you telling yourself for not being at bank zero? I do not have banks. I do have a little Bitcoin. I don't know how to get it. But yeah, crypto has become a big time personality trait. Yeah. Your eyes are definitely not illuminated right now. Yeah.

I'm going to go my second pick. I actually had this first round talent, weed. Just being a weed guy, just big time stoner. I think we all know some real pothead friends that that becomes everything they talk about. Was it like that more back in the day? Yeah, I don't think that's. I think people, it's more casual now. Yeah's so it's so everywhere and it's legalized that I don't think it's become as much

Not as cool to be or it's it's like before when it was illegal It was and more like frowned upon yeah, then you had to kind of stay in your ground like I'm a weed guy I don't care what the rules are now. It's like everyone just kind of Accepts that people casually smoke it might also be because we're a little bit older, but I'm sure that once people start getting into we like at a young age, there's still that sweet spot of being like 15 to 27, where that is your entire life is just thinking about weed, bringing over different types of weed,

be like, Hey, man, smell this weed. Yep, smells like weed. No, but you don't understand it's got it's got crystals on it. All right, for my next one, I'm gonna go with supporting a political party. Yeah. Politics across the board, that just becomes all that you think about and it consumes every moment of your being and it's all you talk about. You don't want to be friends with anybody that has different political opinions from you. You kind of put half the United States into a box of people that you either think is a pedophile or someone that's not to be trusted around. Actually, yeah, both pedophiles, no matter what party you're on. You're like, they're pedophiles. So yeah, politics, number three.

Okay. Well, I had something similar. I don't know if it could count, but I had just Trump good or bad. That's kind of- I think that's the same thing. All right, all right, because that is like the people who are obsessed with Trump good. Those are political. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but there's also, it goes even further. More non-political people join the Trump good, but-

But it's deeper with the just like, they don't even think political parties anymore. They literally just think what is Donald Trump doing and then decide their life on that. All right, I'll go with who Disney adults. They're the weirdest people in the world. Now do they only become like activated when they're in Disney World? I don't know but if you've met a Disney adult it usually is a sign it's there's a lot of people out there that get married at Disney World, get proposed at Disney World. Yeah. They dress up as Disney characters. And, and I actually think in, in like all this whole entire list, uh, some of these people, their hobbies become their

personality traits just because they throw themselves into it. I think Disney adults, their hobby becomes their personality traits because the rest of the world no longer accepts them. So they find each other and that's what they become. Yeah. There is a phenomenon though of people that you think are just normal everyday dudes and girls that walk around with a bunch So they find each other. They have to, yeah, they have to find each other, and that's what they become. Yeah, there is a phenomenon, though, of people that you think are just normal, everyday dudes and girls that walk around, walk amongst us, able to blend in. But the second they set foot inside the Disney theme park, they just change.

Their entire body, their mood changes. And they just want to stay there for the rest of their lives. Max, you had that? You had that on your list? I didn't, but you're doing very good. I'm just not confident in my my list right now. Okay. All right. Get the confidence up. You got two picks coming up. You got two big picks coming up. There's a lot of there's a lot of like

I have. I think great picks that are going to be left on the on the cutting room floor. Yeah, same. I think I'm going to shift which I did run one which Brian not have been smart, but just sports fandom. Yeah, that's a think I'm gonna shift, which I did run one, which probably not have been smart, but just sports fandom. Yeah, that's a good one. The people that, and we deal with them all the time, especially me, where there's people who make the Patriots, or they're Celtics,

their entire personality, and then if you don't know every player on the roster, and don't watch every single game, you're casual, and it's like, that's all they wanna talk about, and if you talk shit about one of their teams on the show The people that have made that team their personality will come at you and be like how dare you yeah talk shit about this team like You don't know what you're talking about right? Agreed okay

My next one is runners marathon runners. Yeah, I had it. I had it good one Next one is runners, marathon runners. Yeah, I had it. I had it. Good one. Great one. The guys with the stickers on the back of their car? And just also any... Screenshots of maps.

It can be... Even people who start training for a marathon, they just tell you that they're training for a marathon nonstop. Yeah, they spend all their free time on message boards looking up other marathoners and trying to prove that they cheated. Yeah. The last one is... I'm struggling to word it.

I like the cards that have the 0.0 sticker on the back. That always plays. Yeah. Get it? The last one I will do, I get like fashion, like people are super into fashion. I don't know, I don't feel good about it. You're not selling me on it, Matt.

You could have sold me with more, what would an example of this be, Max? Like, I'm talking more of like the fashion influencers on tik-tok that like The they do the outfit of the day and they the next new I was going between that or sneaker heads But fashion I thought it was maybe more of like a whatever fuck it. I lost this I lost this Mount Rushmore It's fine. Jesus Christ. Yeah, I think I Sometime you know sometimes you just don't feel like you had a good rush more.

I think you got complacent after your last one. You got a big win. No, I just... Look at that chick. My mind was going elsewhere. My mind was going... She was with horny guys. Yeah.

What? Horny guys. Yeah. Look at that chick. Fashionista, I guess is the right word. Fashionista. You're making it worse. So bad.

Whatever. Fashion. Fashion guys. Not guys. It doesn't have to be guys fashion girls. Yeah, just Fashion yes, that is that is like a hobby I mean But that's not having a kid you have a personality like having that be a hobby that becomes a personality trait So your personality traits you just dress really well No, but it's like going to like spending your Saturday waiting in line for like the new like separate drop to happen that.

Having a kid's not a hobby, what is it? It's what? How is that a hobby? I think it's pretty much the building blocks of life on earth. Yeah. It's definitely not a hobby. But like what would it qualify under? Just living, just life.

Life? Yeah, it's just, it's literally, if you don't have kids, there is no more life. It's literally life. A hobby is considered to be a regular activity that is done for enjoyment typically during one's leisure time. I think Philip Rivers qualifies as a hobby at this point. He's bored, you want to have another one? The having the kid is the it's an activity. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to go with this one.

This I mean this is similar to my third pick. Basically all my friends have split in between golf and fishing. Oh, fishing. People that are super into fishing. That's you know all they talk about all they do. they wake up 4 a.m. I had that on my list, but I think this is Okay, and then you take your picture for All social media profile literally my friend group is split between it It's like we like joke about it because like half my friends are obsessed with fishing that and they don't give a fuck about golf And the other half loves play golf don't care about fishing. I think it's yeah

because you don't have time to do the other. Right. Yeah. Okay. My last pick I'm actually surprised it left. I thought it I thought it would go before fashion but it didn't. IPA guy slash brewing his own beer. Yeah beer guy. Beer guy who's just snobby about all his beer and he's gonna brew his own beer and he's you haven't tried this and come on, man. Don't try to get that guy a Coors Light. It's okay. It's okay. You can just drink the beer.

We don't have to talk about the beer. Just drink the beer. The cans and everything. I mean, there are some cool cans out there. I'll give them that. Yeah. Waiting in line for breweries. Yeah. Like when there are some cool cans out there. I'll give them that yeah waiting in line for breweries Yeah, like when breweries do drops and camping out. Yeah Yeah, you go to a big festival and you don't you're not even allowed to spend money on so you got to go to a table

And buy like raffle tickets, right? And then you give the people with the beers the raffle tickets and then if you go over to their house They're like you got to try my beer Brooklyn was was right right. Big time. Big time. That was everywhere. Yeah. You go to a bar and you're just like, can I get a Coors Light?

And they're like, no, we don't have that. We have every other type of beer, microbrew. It used to be a big attraction too when you're moving to a new town. It's like, yeah, there's a lot of microbrews. Yeah. Now that's every city. Now every city has them. Facts.

And I like beer. I do too. And I like all kinds of beer. Yeah. But I would never, I've never like gone and gone to breweries and remembered no the beer that you liked anyway It's like even if I found a beer. I liked I'm like, all right Moving on. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay last pick. Okay, my last pick Hobby that turns into a personality. Mm-hmm personality. Vegan.

Being a vegan. Yeah. Because it doesn't just become your personality. It has to rub off on Aaron and it becomes other people's personalities too. Yes. They have to adopt it around you. Yes. Or else you're not there.

And they got to tell you about it because every time you go out or anything. Yeah. Well, I'm a vegan. Yeah. Aaron was rare vegan slash atheist combo. Yeah, never been done before. Yeah, great party guy. No, he's no longer vegan.

He saw the light. And if you are vegan by choice, that's fine, but just know that- You'll probably live longer than us. Yeah, definitely. You'll laugh at us one day. You'll try to get us to eat the bugs. I won't eat the bugs.

Oh, those aren't vegans though. The bugs aren't vegan. True, true, vegan adjacent. All right, what did we miss? I did have dog dad or mom on. Yep. Because that's a big one. When it was like, oh I got a dog and like.

Do you want me to switch mine with that? No. Dog dad or mom especially, I gotta say, listen, I have a dog. I love dogs When the when a when a person wishes themselves happy Mother's or Father's Day on When you have just a dog, that's the that's the craziest thing I've ever fucking seen in my life. What about it? What that's a fuck actually, you know, I know I take that back They get fur babies the crick. Yeah fur babies. The craziest thing was actually our guy Tony P in DC He had a toast saying fur babies. Yeah, fur babies. The craziest thing was actually our guy Tony P in DC. He

had a post saying what father's day means to me as a person who would an aspiring father. I like that claiming it beforehand. I was a little too much. I do love when dog people say like raising a dog. I know what it's like to be a father. I know what it's like to be a mother because you know raising a dog is its own challenge I just love how much that irritates real parents, so that's fun. Oh, that's that's a funny thing. That's a funny thing Pete yeah, I did that to you with for a while too well But you actually don't I still don't think you understand what kids are because you put it under hobby No, so I know

Does it's a joke you're doing it and you don't actually know I used to do it to you as a joke I didn't get you very mad, but I know but again I don't think you're joking because you put down be no one is a hobby I so I said it I said it right before I switched I switched it the last second I was gonna just do like significant other like When a guy gets a new girlfriend or a girl gets a new boyfriend and they just start posting about them It's also not a hobby. It's not a hobby. Yeah Thinking about things yeah take over people's not a hobby. It's not a hobby, yeah. It kind of is though.

It's just thinking about things that take over people's lives. Yeah. Which is not always a hobby. How is that a hobby? That's like- It is funny though, is a small glimpse into the mind of Hank, who has like no worries or cares, to think like the most important thing that you'll ever do on this planet has totally become your entire personality.

Isn't that weird? No, all right. So yeah, that was a bad pick whatever. No, I think it plays better as more, that's more hobby-ish. Memes said just rattled off a bunch of good ones right after my last pick back here. Oh no. Hank, now what I think would play is people that have kids that think that they're the first people to ever have kids. Correct.

And so I was actually in Fancy football league like 10 years ago with multiple people who independently changed their fantasy team name to so-and-so's dad. Yeah, that's- And that's kind of weird. Yeah, no, there's definitely, I know what you're saying. They just become like everything is just the kids and they don't have a life outside of the kids. And same with significant other.

Yeah. But yeah, I guess I don't, I probably lost it with that. I had conspiracy theories. Yeah, that's actually a really, cause then once you go over the deep end, you can't come back. The iceberg baby, uh, what about your job? Your job? Yep. Is that a hobby? That's explained. I guess. Yeah. It's a hobby. Now everything. Yeah, I get it now. Everything's making sense. I had a swinger on there. Yeah. That's a hobby.

Sex guy. Sex guy becomes your whole life. What about grilling meats guy? Yeah. Guy, if you get the big green egg, but you also have a flat top and you also have charcoal and you also have the wood chip and you're like, hey, what are you doing this weekend

while I'm slow cooking a brisket for 48 hours. Yeah, I'm gonna spend 16 hours sitting in the room right next to my patio. Yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah, no, I had, the hobbies kind of passed me. But we never know how it's gonna look on the graph. I had a guy like sobriety. It's a hobby, yeah?

But like that becomes people's, yeah, no, that was, I might've. Sobriety's not a hobby. Yeah, but like that becomes people's yet. No that was I might have You spend all your time going to meeting I mean you're still gonna beat me in this like like but like self-help or like meditation Like uh, I would say yoga Like some some minor mental illness Become someone's hobby like minor I'm not saying like actual, like someone who has to tell you like, well I have OCD, but they don't actually have OCD?

Oh, being an empath. Yeah, and they're like, oh I have OCD. It's like, no you actually don't, because it's not, you can, they'll just, self-diagnosed mental illness becomes someone's hobby. Allergies. We missed a big one.

Yeah, allergies is a good one. Yeah, allergies is a good one. Yeah, allergies is a great one. Missed a big one. Collecting trading cards. Yeah. Being a card slash collectible guy. Autograph guy. Yeah, that's falls into the same like, mm-hmm.

Yeah, that's nice. If you quit your job and start a brand new company, all around collectibles and loving collectibles. You call it Clit. Yeah, call it Clit. Yeah, call it Clit. That's a major red flag. Yeah.

What were memes ones that he rattled off? Memes, get on the mic. Yeah. I said video games. Yes, good one. What else did I say? What about just memes? Memes is a good one.

Oh, I think actually there is the, and this is all of us in a little bit, but it is also our job But the two online guy where it's like they're the way they speak and the way they converse is just Really deep online things that people wouldn't know you can tell that they're in some weird message boards, right? Trevor Bauer kind of like that. Yeah. Yeah. He is the internet can't speak to us like a regular human being Yeah, like memes memes also said bar so listeners. No, that's what means that Trevor Bauer, kind of like that in person. He is the internet. You can't speak to us like a regular human being. Yeah. Like memes. Memes also said Barstow listeners.

No. That's what memes said. I mean, I got a job doing it. Yeah, that's true. You are that. Okay, what else memes? You had another one? You just, that was two.

Max said you rattle off a bunch of really great ones. Did I have said gym, like going to the gym after CrossFit or no? Yeah, I think that also plays. Yeah, like stairway to guys. Cause there's different, there's a different gym person than after CrossFit or no? Yeah, I think that also plays. Yeah, cuz there's different There's different there's a different gym person than the CrossFit person. Yeah, like yeah yoga definitely qualifies in that. Yeah Doing like Rossello is not a CrossFit guy, but he's definitely a gym guy. Yeah Like what are the other new ones Pilates? That's not really that new but Pilates can become your life alo

Yeah, alo. Yeah, that's they don't they would never let us in there I think we could go for like a day, but they would be like they would sound alarm being like a go day Is it a planet fitness yeah, they'd be like we're doing a make-a-wish We're gonna let a few uggo podcasters in everyone Please if you do if you feel uncomfortable in the workplace today you can work from home I'm gonna have the Ugo stop by hobbies that become your entire personality losing championships in sports could be one what about just also winning championships in sports could be another one becoming a fan of a band yeah bands

yeah like yeah that will happen but But Swifties. Swifties. But yeah. But yes. But right, there's other like Zach Bryan, Grateful Day. Yeah, yeah. Metallica. Yeah, for sure. If it becomes your whole existence. Yeah, absolutely. I had skateboarding. Skateboarding. Yeah, that's true. I should have said that over fashion. That was the one, the two I was going between. I should have said that. Cooking, different than grilling, but cooking is definitely definitely on there cooking and also becoming a foodie

Yeah, foodie. It's like I'm different from a lot of people. I enjoy food. Yeah foodie. Oh you haven't tried that restaurant I really I really like food foodie's a great one. I'm pissed about this Yeah, that's a big mess. You had fashionista though. That was good fucked up What about just like dancing? Okay, no go on No, like tick tock like with the tick tock nowadays like people Dance and that becomes their entire personality. I feel like tick tock could be an answer to yeah Yeah, Star Wars Star Wars is good. I heard our wars after you said

Disney, but I thought it was too close. So yeah, it is a little adjacent. Yeah. What about, also said podcasting, but he doesn't want to, he's too scared to say it. I don't, uh, yeah, that could be. Ain't no hobby. Yeah. It's not a hobby for us. For us.

What about knowing quotes from The Office? Yeah. Brandon Walker does that. Quoting The Office. Yeah. And that could go across the board for just comedy movies Yeah, if you're really into saying quotes from them a lot of times people will think oh, you're funny Yeah, no, no, it's just you know when to put those quotes in. Yep. That's a really good one

What else anything else? I mean that is a good topic. Mm-hmm And again, we probably there's a bunch on there that like up hand up. Would you say that the gym so Taylor? I do that too much liking Taylor Swift is a good pick Would you also consider not liking Taylor Swift to be a hobby that turns into your personality? I Think that's a little more rare. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know many I think there's people who don't like Taylor Swift, but I don't think they make it their entire personality. Yeah Don't you think like that's a little harder to do because then you just don't like anything Making a hobby your personality is has to be liking more than not liking which is being a hater in general could be your whole

Percent that's true. Yeah, being a negative person hating things. Yeah. Yeah being the negative guy Okay, we good that's a good good Mount Rush for mine a voice a reason what what could they voice a reason for about you but the negative guy the hypothetical negative guy oh you we weren't talking about you there we're talking about you was I yeah I'm just devil's advocate for that hypothetical person. Right. Mm-hmm. Just being negative on every turn. I'm not. Just being a realist.

See, right now you're being negative. You're disagreeing with me. Agreed. I said that you're the most negative guy we've got, and you just said I'm not. You didn't say that. Okay, well, you're the most negative guy we've got. Agree to disagree? See, he's being negative right now. I've won's entitled to their opinions. Yeah, I hate these

It is our good friend Jimmy Tatro and now our good friend Christian Pierce, the guys who created the very funny Real Bros of Simi Valley, which now is a movie.

Yes, sir. It is a movie. July 4th? July 5th. July 5th. Close. On Roku. But you might be able to watch it July 4th. If you happen to log on early, on the 4th? July 5th. July 5th. Close. On Roku. But you might be able to watch it July 4th. If you happen to log on early, on the 4th,

you might be able to see it. Okay, this summer is Oppenheimer? Yeah. That's what they're saying. Fuck yeah. I'm so excited for this movie. Real bros, if you haven't watched it, it is, can we watch all of it in one place?

Actually was my first question. Fuck, we actually meant to show the trailer when we came in. Okay. I don't know, should we show it to them? Oh, we could show it to them. Like, you know, too much time, it's only two minutes long. Are we in it?

Cause you said we were gonna get a cameo, and I can't remember if we filmed it. Oh, that was the day the wifi was down. We meant to add John. It would be great if you just put a clip of us in it. I sent you that fax. Yeah. I don't know if you got that.

Did you guys get that? Yeah. I did. On that fax, I think you said like, we can just use a clip from this interview at the very end of the movie, right? It did say that and it so congratulations on making a movie and having us in your movie. Yeah. Yeah Yeah Yeah

I don't know what it would I know what we would have done without you guys Yeah, you know what we should do at the end of this interview You guys both should be like, yeah, and that's our idea for a movie. And then we put it at the end of the movie. Wow. Yeah. Right? It's like our dreams are being made.

It's that Christmas night. Holy shit. Holy shit. I like that. It's warping everything. Trying to get nominated for an award out here. That's what we're thinking. Yeah, and then we're like,

nah, it'll never work. Fuck no. Yeah. You guys are absolutely not, and then that's the end. So I'm pumped for this. This is gonna be awesome, cause it are absolutely not. And then that's the end. So I'm pumped for this. This is going to be awesome because it's so funny. So first of all, can we watch Real Bros in one place? Because you guys have hit the bit we talked about last time.

Yes, we were trying to go to every single platform. Is this the first time on Roku? Yes. Fuck yes. So we're hitting the bingo card. Yeah, so we're checking as many platforms as possible, but right now The whole show is on YouTube fuck. Yes. Okay, so that's something I was pretty pumped about. Yeah, we we got Negotiated with the movies we got all the episodes back. So they're now all on YouTube perfect

So everyone catch up before you watch the movie I guess the the other thing that that's so great about this show and now a movie, and I'm wondering what you guys, Christian, I'll ask you this. Is it weird having a show that, it's been difficult at times to watch because it's been on different platforms. We'll just say that. But I would say it's one of the most viral gifts shows

out there that I think there's a whole group of people that don't even maybe know what show they're gifting but the gifts are so fucking funny yeah that like there's there's an untapped audience and if they if we can connect their brains and be like no that's actually real bros and they have a movie out it's like you you have to watch it because they're using the gifts constantly yeah it's especially with like tick to coming up, like 2020 to like now, there was a moment where we weren't really using TikTok

that much, but we saw the Real Bros memeification really going wild on there. And it surpassed, like the views on TikTok had surpassed the views anywhere else. We're like, what the fuck, we're not even on here. Do people even notice this? It's a count with 140,000 followers pumping out real bro.

How do we make money off of it? Yeah. We've got to make money on it. No, there's like, there's like a whole underground scene of TikTok accounts that they do with podcasts too. Well, they'll just take clips from podcasts and be like, Hey, check out this clip. And then they're getting all the money from it. Which I always look at as being a good thing overall because they're promoting like when I see an old part of my take clip surface

On there. I'm like, well, they're just doing like a free advertisement for part of my take So yeah that but at the same time it can I can see why people that like put time and creative energy into like Writing a show might be like hey kind of fucked up that you're just putting my shit out there I think if it's if it's not taking up space that you're already trying to fill like we didn't have a presence on TikTok at the time that it took off on tick-tock if we had Accounts that we were putting time and money into and those accounts still exist, I'd be fucking pissed. Like what the fuck, you're taking it away from us. Because we didn't, I was like,

I think ultimately it's going to come back to us full circle once we find a way to reclaim the audience. It was like someone was just doing it for us, kind of, because we didn't have the TikTok. But I used to get really upset about that. Like when people would steal clips. You were like, Lars Ulrich, Metallica. I was like, this is piracy.

We need laws out here in the wild west of digital media. This is bullshit. Cause there was this video that we posted that was supposed to air on a show for the first time. And someone recorded it on the show before I could even upload it to YouTube and posted it on YouTube. Like a recording of a screen on TV.

And they got like 15 million views on Facebook. And I hadn't even posted it yet. I was like, this is fucked. And it was that video of the little kid running for a touchdown. Oh yeah, yeah. You know, Grant to Wish Kids touchdown. And then he's running and then a guy comes out of nowhere and smashes him. And they probably acted like it was a real clip.

Yeah, well everyone thought that was what was funny about that one. Everyone thought that one was real. Yeah. What's his name? Oh man. Michael Michael Irving, I think he tweeted one time like this is so fucked up. That's the best price you could ask for. Yeah. I would imagine Xander Shoffley winning the PGA Championship was huge for you guys. It's big for Xander. Yeah. Xander's like, Xander's the summer of Xander's.

I saw on the clip of you asking him if he had seen Real Bros or Cine Valley. And he was like, no, but sometimes people yell Zahn. And I'm like, wow. That's kind of cool. I'm like, That's pretty good. On the show, is Zander's name Zander or is it Alexander? Zander. Yeah.

I think Zander on the birth certificate. But we have decided that Hawk's middle name is Tua. I like that. It's been Tua this whole time. Hawk, Tua, Sanders. That's crazy you guys were in front of that. Yeah, it's been two of this whole time. Yeah, yeah to a standards We as you guys were in front of that how old is Hawk? So a hawk is hold. Well, I think this is this what day is this coming out? This is coming out on Friday this Friday is Friday. I feel like we can say we can say like he's older

He's older. Well, he's older than me Hock is older than me. Yeah. Hock is, yeah. Hock has, yeah. Hock has surpassed that age. Yeah, Jimmy's character has a son. And they've aged him so rapidly. He was a baby and then all of a sudden he was like nine

and now he's older than you. Yeah, now he's twice the age of his parents. Yeah, he's in his 50s, mid 50s. Yeah, maybe older than him. And yeah, because I remember, I think I told you last time I was on here, you were like, how old is Hawk gonna be? I'm like, he definitely needs to be older than Xander.

So yeah, to be in the middle of the movie, he's definitely like in his 50s, 60s, and then just keep watching, just keep watching. What was that like for the old guy that's playing your son? Oh man, well, the guy who's playing his son in this one is actually a legend. So it was pretty nice. Wow. Yeah, we can't say too much, but the name Hawk is a pretty big giveaway.

So you guys got Kevin Spacey? Yeah. That's right, dude. Holy shit. I just think he needs a chance. It's all about redemption, you know? I'm not sure if that was his comeback. What did he really do?

Have you guys had him as his comeback? Oh my god. He called me, actually, and was like, Jim, it was like one of those weird creepy videos. And he was in front of his fireplace, and he was like, let me play Hawk. The House of Cards accent? The Underwood? I can do this, yeah. Remember when he did that Christmas video where he was like, let me play Hawk. You're doing the House of Cards accent? The Underwood? I can do this, yeah. Remember what he did in that Christmas video

where he was like, Frank Underwood? And we're like, why is Frank Underwood lecturing us on Christmas? You need people like me. That didn't get enough attention for how weird it was. I think we all tried to look away. Yeah, I was pretending like that's weird. And then he did one in Italy one year

where he was on a bench or something. I didn't see that one. It or something. Kevin Spacey checking in. Yeah. I'm still like on the run. I'm still fucking weird. So what if I'm a pedophile? Y'all need people like me. So it's funny because you've actually worked with Kevin Spacey since you were like 12,

13 years old and you were like his protege, right? Yeah. Yeah, that was really cool. Really full circle there. I pretty much credit him. I credit him with a lot yeah not career wise just like how I am yeah as a man general I carry myself I operate in the world so it is Tony Hawk playing playing your son that's cool yeah yeah I'm not gonna say any names but the name Hawk is you know it's definitely

it's involved in the name of the man. Yeah, I forget where I read this. It was maybe six, eight months ago, but I read that you used to make skateboarding videos when you were a kid. Yeah. Like a real young kid, right? Yeah.

That was at your first foray into online videos? Absolutely, yeah. Not online, because it wasn't online yet, but it was a little, I was the videographer of my little skate group in Venice, and I was the guy with the video camera. But there was no editing, so it was just like, I'd have a boombox.

Start, stop. And I would go, hit play, and then hit stop, and just try to keep it. So there would be a soundtrack that kind of went through, that was like, Linkin Park, like, A live soundtrack. And sometimes if if someone missed I'd rewind both Trying to so it was like this soundtrack was just like, you know That's all wait. So so you guys were in a frat together Arizona. That's how you first met

Yeah, and and Christian are you a diehard Clippers fan, too? No. Oh, no. No, no I'm just Jimmy Jim Jim Jim's Lakers. Oh, yeah, but I also hate the Lakers. Okay, good. Yeah, I'm a bulls fan. We think about JJ Honestly, I think it's probably a good move for him for the organization. Yeah. Yeah, we seems yeah It's kind of a shitty movie said he's never he's gonna stop doing podcasts on his coach Like the podcasting is not a stepping stone job. No, you know like he used us I feel like and we had a moment where like he's that type dude representation matters We're like JJ Reddick went from podcasting to NBA coach. So could we but then he just turns his back on the family

I don't know. Yeah, what do you guys gonna do about that? I don't know. We always say we always say like podcasting It's the brotherhood. Yeah, and for a guy like that to turn his back on the brotherhood It just hurts a lot more than anything. I guess next time I won't be so nice to former players that then become podcasters I think and burned. Yeah, NBA coaching is like gladiator rules So if you do fight him and you do beat him, you're the new Lakers head coach. Yeah. Yeah That's a good point if you want that life. I never thought about how this was affecting the podcasting About well not narcissists, right? That's exactly what it is. It's all we thought about. We're not narcissists, but that's exactly what it is. It's a story about podcasts.

You'll actually love this. We did, to promote season three, we went on the news, the daily news, and this guy showed up in a Clippers uniform. No, I texted him the night before. I texted him the night before. I'm like, what are you wearing tomorrow? And he's like, I think I'm wearing a Lakers jersey. I'm like, all right, cool.

Pull up in a Clippers jersey. Went out, got a Clippers jersey. Pull up in a Clippers jersey. I'm like, all right, cool. Pull up in a Clippers jersey. Went out, got a Clippers jersey. Pull up in a Clippers jersey. I'm like, this is some serious hater stuff right now. I love that. Yeah, it's good. If you're going to LA News, you got to show out. Yeah, I like that.

It's a Clippers town. Exactly. Right. Right. Yes, everyone knows that. They got the new. You're always saying that. Yeah.

They got the new stadium, Balmer. It's a Clippers town. Paul George, basically there for life. Yeah. Kawhi. You're set up. You see the name of the Clippers show, the billboards, they say the other LA team. I'm like, you guys have a show and it says the other LA team.

Yeah, that's sad. That's very sad. So you guys met in your fraternity at Arizona. When did you start doing like creative things together? Was it, I would imagine there was just some just hanging out and being frat bros. We started second half of freshman year, but we took it seriously sophomore year. When we started blackmailing? Yes.

Yeah. That's how we got our rise. Yeah. Yeah. It was like, either you're involved or I'm fucking telling them. I was like, I don't have a choice. Fuck. That's actually a part of my take start. Big Cat made me do cocaine. That actually is true.

You guys were joking. This is true. I also cocaine up his nose. It was also the worst black male ever because I really wanted to do the cocaine. I was psyched that my new friend was offering me and it was like, if you don't do this podcast, I'm telling you, I was like, I don't give you it. I turned to the podcast. Good idea. Shove it up his nose and I turned to Hank and he was like if you don't do this podcast I'll tell him he was like I don't give it to the podcast idea shoved it up his nose and I turned to Hank and I was like we got him wait so that's awesome because what year was this what was 2010 so this is early like internet too yeah early internet like YouTube yeah that's the hated funnier die yeah yeah yeah yeah early internet and Early Internet like YouTube Funny or die. Yeah

In the fact that like today Everyone in college has a tick-tock is trying to be a content creator You guys were doing it before it became something that like everyone is doing Yeah, no one would say what do you mean? You're dropping out of school to be a youtuber? Yeah, that doesn't exist Wait, did you drop out of school too? I didn't I finished okay? Right I bring it up all the time. Yeah You should get paid more Yeah, I do yeah, it carries his diploma I just roll it out when you guys started when you guys start so annoying from Arizona. Yeah.

No different than Harvard. When you're doing shit for YouTube at that time, are you using phones to record things or using a camera? Started on a flip cam. Yeah, I had a little flip cam that was like, at the time it was like for how small this is, this is great quality. Yeah. Um, and that was what we, saw was the first few videos were on that

Then we got a camera, but you know, it's funny about the flip cam I always think about this, you know Apple bought flip cam today. I didn't know I flip cam did nothing and just ended it That's crazy. They're like we don't want any competition. So they've got the company and then just ended the company I kind of love such a way to crazy baller move. Yeah, just buy your competition. Just end them. Some guy spends his entire life perfecting this design for a great product, and he's so proud of it. And then finally, a big payday comes along.

He sells it. He's like, OK, your product's dead now. That's business, baby. But I mean, look at this. That's good shit. What could they have done to Apple? Nothing, anyway. It was just kind of annoying.

They were a little competitor. Nipkate the Heel is. So all right, so you guys have been writing together, nothing. Nothing. Yeah. It was just kind of annoying. Yeah. Yeah. A little competitor nipped you off the heels. Yeah. So, alright, so you guys have been writing together then for almost 15 years. That's pretty cool. Yeah. So, how has it like evolved your writing styles and just working together because it's like working together for 15 years. That's kind of rare. Like, that's not, there's not a lot of writing partners

that can do something like that for that long and kind of stay on the same wavelength. You've seen it a million times where guys will do something that's a hit and then kind of splinter off and do their own thing. But you guys are still doing it, that's awesome. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Like has it evolved?

Do you guys feel like you've ever had a moment where you're like, oh, we're maybe not on the same wavelength or has it been kind of seamless that you've always been a perfect writing partners? No, we've definitely had our ups and downs. But I think working through the ups and downs would eventually makes it like a, I don't know, more secure, stable situation.

To like, we've had our moments where we were not on the same page about things and took some talking out but I feel like that's just naturally going to happen with any long-term partnership. And either you kind of split and go your separate ways or you just kind of keep working through it constantly. Well, I imagine being writing partners is, that's a very vulnerable thing to do because you're you're basically saying like, my ideas, I hope this person thinks it's funny and like back and forth and you have to throw out ideas and they're not all going to work. Yeah, I don't think we've ever really gotten to like, hurt about shooting each other's

ideas down when we don't like them, which is kind of cool. People get super personally affected, we're like, ah, I think there's something better. That might be it, they might fuck up their day. We're just like, okay, next idea. Yeah. Are there moments where one of the two of you is way more passionate about a certain project

or a certain element that you're working on than the other? And then how does that work out? Do you just have to say, well, I'm gonna trust them if they're more passionate, let's go along or is it like okay? You take the lead do whatever you want to do on this since you care about it more Yeah, I mean I try to if if he's fired up about an idea, and I just like don't see it I just trust that I'm just like not seeing it right now I'm like he is so fired up about this like I'm gonna just trust him and look go along with this

If it's not a good idea We will realize it along the way there's no point in me like really hitting the brakes on this right? You know I mean how was writing the movie how was was there? You guys it's obviously been something that you guys been working on for a very long time And it's again so so funny, but like actually having to put it together a story that might might be the finale I don't know if you guys have another whatever it. It's a little bit different, I would assume, writing a movie than a TV show because you have to kind of tie it all together, right?

Yeah, it's a lot less time, too. I think it's like with the season three, we had like 220 minutes total, something like that. Yeah, like 250 or, yeah, I think it might be like 270. Minutes total in the season with the movie, you have half of, I think less than half. Right. Yeah. So you have to condense a lot of storylines.

You've got to kill a lot of your babies. You've got to just really keep it tight. Nice. Abortion is huge. We had to drop that. Samuel Alito. There's like a lot of the little random moments in the show where you just spend a minute and a half on something that's like completely pointless

to the final story. You can't really do that with a movie. But because that is a lot of the show, it's like you want to preserve some of those moments. So there's a lot more editing in the writing process and like condensing. I feel like that would be the worst part for me. Stuff that you've worked so hard on

that you thought was so funny. And a lot of times it probably is very funny material And then having to just cut it for the sake of brevity and yeah Like losing out on all that effort that you put into it. Yeah, that must be tough That was definitely the hardest thing about them about the movie just because it was less time and it did start as a show So it was a lot of like how do we make this a movie that was like that was that was definitely the hardest thing about making the movie and because we shot it in 10 days yeah 10 days yeah it was a hustle like on day one were you organized ready to go or yeah I feel like most times when you plan out all this stuff perfectly you sit down you

spend the first like four hours Bullshitting anyways, they're like, oh shit. That's four hours out of our ten days that we have budget gone No, there was no bullshitting. There's no time for bullshit. Like you show up. You have a schedule, you know We need to shoot we need to shoot this this this this and this today We have this we have to be done by this There's a whole regiment schedule, but then you show up and they're like, oh, it's raining on Thursday So that got fucked Yeah, and that actor's schedule was only lined up for Thursday

so now we need to figure out when they're available and Then it ended up like the schedule we ended up shooting like four days one week one day another week and in like Three twos it was like everything around the budget and like how much time you have how much money you have and then also like Even though we were dialed the fuck in on day one. We still had like actors. We needed to map everything around the budget and how much time you have and how much money you have. And then also, even though we were dialed the fuck in on day one, we still had actors we needed to cast. We had roles. We had to keep moving. We couldn't stop the traffic.

We were around my number, Jimmy. You said what? Oh. But we said, you got the facts. Yeah, we didn't have anybody. We could have been there. Yeah. We were desperate for two actors.

Yeah. We needed a short guy and a big guy. Yeah. We couldn't find anyone. We need to figure out I'm casting is the future So we got to figure out two podcast on the prom was look Hmm, I wasn't gonna ask you guys to fly across the country to say what would have been it literally a line

You know, yeah, those are busy guys I mean we would never travel anywhere to burn a day just like hanging out and drinking beer with a fellow. Do you guys have any enemies? Because we tried but up top they were like, no, we can't. We can't. Yeah, we do have a lot of enemies. Okay.

Big Hollywood maybe. Yeah. Hollywood is not. They don't really understand us or like us. We went, Dave and I went and pitched Hollywood the Barstool rundown in 2014 and we went into like Probably about ten different rooms like Comedy Central HBO Showtime walked out of every single meeting like we fucking crushed that Not even a single call back. Damn. Yeah, so then we realized that's probably not our cup of tea Yeah, we tried but the studio was like not those two. Yeah

I'm not hot enough to sexually harass, so they see me and they're like, I have no use for this guy. Oh yeah, that happens a lot, man. Yeah. I mean, I'm so pumped for this movie though. How long did it take you guys to write it? It took us longer to write it than it did to shoot it.

Well, I hope so. Yeah. He shot it in 10 days. We shot it. We wrote it in a day and a half. Yeah, we wrote it in a day and a half. Yeah, we wrote it in a day and a half. We did the Tyler Perry business model. No, we wrote it over the course of like five months,

but it was like on and off, like halfway through. And I like went to Atlanta. We were doing it over Zoom. I think if we were sitting down every single day together for like eight hours i think we could have done it oh in under half that time for sure two months for sure but also if you didn't move out right because you moved out he moved out right you moved out didn't you guys live together for a long time oh that was a while ago yeah but then he moved out right right right yeah right so

he should have done that he's bringing up old wounds for me I wasn't ready for this yeah wait did you live together when the bees attacked you no that was a to those two houses later okay yeah those bees were gnarly I think we've asked you about the bees every episode that you've been on like how the bees doing you're like I haven't seen those bees in years you're a huge bee guy it's I'm a big a big B guy. I was actually, I saw, you know that movie, The Beekeeper with Jason Statham? Yeah. I haven't seen it yet, but I saw the billboard

and I was like. That's me. Called my agent and I was like, what the fuck? I don't ask for a lot. Yeah. But you're telling me they did The Beekeeper and I didn't even audition? Yeah, I mean, are you interested in doing like action roles

where you just kick everyone's ass? I would love to do that. That seems like it'd be a very, very fun genre movie to film. So Marvel drops the Bee Man. Oh. You want it to be you, the Bee Man? If it wouldn't, if it wasn't, I'd be hurt. Yeah.

Christian, you're getting an insight into our interview style and how stupid we are that we're like, hey, Jimmy, how about those bees? This is a serious question. Yeah. That reminds me, speaking of big Hollywood business meetings, what's going on with Boner Dogs? Yeah, so we're working on it. It's in pre-production.

Boner Dogs? Yeah, we have a movie. You actually, we'd love to have you as a writer. Okay. Yeah. I'm attached. Can I have the pitch? Loosely attached.

Do you want to hear the pitch? Yeah, can I hear it? Okay, so it's like Hansel and Gretel Combined with Rudolph the Red Nose Rangers cartoon and one of the dogs has a boner the whole time. Oh shit That's pretty much it's in production In the in like the Arctic and they're like, how are we ever gonna find our way back? It's just in this guy's like dude. My boner has been dragging this whole time. So his nose isn't right. It's just a dick It's a dick And then all the other dogs make fun of him because they don't have boners, right? And this guy's like, dude, my boner's been dragging this whole time. So his nose isn't running, it's just his dick. No, it's the dick. It's just dragging on the ground.

And then all the other dogs make fun of him because they don't have boners. Right. And they're like, ew, what's that gross lipstick thing? Right, right, right. And then he had, it's like a source. Is he insecure about it? Yes, he is at first. But then it becomes a tool for power at the end.

Wow. And he realizes, oh, I'm not so weird after all. I can use my differences to actually. You're going to own your flaws. Make a difference. Yeah. That's the kind of message I feel like kids today. Right.

I think it. Really would resonate with. Right. Stay hard, kids. Right. Yeah, there you go. Exactly. Just tuck them up into your waistband. your flaws make a difference yeah that's the kind of message I feel like kids today right I think really would resonate with stay hard kids right yeah there you go exactly just tuck them up oh wow we just bring PFT's laptop like see yeah yeah I've been attached I think for what six years now are you playing you're playing the dog no you guys got. No, no. I already promised. Who do you guys got attached? I think he's the voice of the boner.

Oh yeah, they asked if I'd. I thought Adam Sandler was the voice of the boner. No, I thought Will Ferrell was the voice of the boner. Will Ferrell was the voice of the boner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Will Ferrell was the voice of the boner. But obviously they told me this pitch, you know 2018 and I said this is,

this is a home run, I mean. Yeah. Actually I think I started off as loosely attached. Yeah. But then I saw the names that you guys had involved and I was like this is gonna be a huge project So we pitched probably 12 different Comedians when they come on the show if it like David Spade a bunch of people that would sit down with us would be like

Okay, here's a pitch for boner dogs And then finally we interviewed Adam Sandler and it was him and Kevin Garnett at the same time And so everyone was expecting us to pitch Adam Sandler because we've been talking about this Adam Sandler movie with boner talking about this Adam Sandler movie with Boner Dogs for years. So instead we just pitched Kevin Garnett. That's fine. And then Adam kept trying to jump in

and be like, not right now, I'm not talking business. And then he was like, I'm in. Adam Sandler told us he was in. A little behind the scenes, we apparently had like an actual deal in the works with Happy Madison. Yeah. To make this into a series on Netflix.

And then all of a sudden I just stopped hearing about updates. Well, not all of a sudden. We interviewed Rob Schneider. It didn't go well. That might have had something to do with it. Well, I thought it went well. Was this recent? Was this part of his recent pair? It was like right at the beginning of it.

He's gone. We interviewed him and he didn't laugh at one part of the interview. It wasn't even like a big the beginning of it. He's gone. Oh, shit. Out there. We interviewed him, and he didn't laugh at one part of the interview. It wasn't even a big problem with the interview. It was just a minor thing that didn't get that great reaction. It was a stupid joke. One of our guys wrote a blog that is clearly tongue in cheek that was like, every time Rob Schneider releases

a big movie, an oil spill happens. But if you look at it, if you actually want to look at it like there's an oil spill all the time Yeah, you can connect the dots. Yeah, right. So that was the joke and yeah, if you didn't laugh that means he's hiding them He's like how do you know they know fuckers? Yeah, you know about the oil You're taking flack. It means you over the right targets. So he didn't react to it at all and then afterwards you over the right targets. So he, he didn't react to it at all. Uh, and then afterwards, this is crazy. It's a real story. Like maybe, maybe four people online, maybe four, it could be less than that. Uh, responded to the tweet that we put out promoting the episode and they said like

Rob Schneider sucks. Maybe four people said that. Then we heard behind the scenes through RPR people that he wants us to delete the entire interview and take it down and act like it never happened. And then we're like, well no, we're not gonna do that. Some people liked the interview, it wasn't bad. We didn't walk away from the interview being like, this guy hates us. We didn't like that.

Yeah, we never even thought it was, yeah. We didn't think that anything was wrong. And so he threatened the litigation. And eventually we were just like, we're not gonna take it down, we'll delete that one tweet if there's people responding to it that are making you angry Yeah, so here's what I'm thinking then boner dogs died

I know I'm not riding on this film yet, but if I was here's my pitch We make the new antagonist of villain a big oil tycoon. Oh Yes, I like that Schneider Robson. Yeah. Yeah. He's a mean guy Let's let's let's defend Rob Schneider for a second. There's a chance He doesn't he like I doesn't, he like, I don't think he killed the movie, but there's a chance he could have killed the movie because he cares about the environment

and he didn't want another oil spill. Yeah, that's a fair point. He was like, I can't keep doing this. Right, especially with this dog being in the Arctic. Right, right. Ice melting and all that. Yeah, so one of the ideas that we had was to have it be like an Olympics event where each team is made up of like the Irish wolfhounds or a bunch of Irish drunks and then tiny dicks

Yeah, a little tiny dick. So he's got tiny dick But then you could have like these you could just do stereotypes of people from those countries as all the competitors Yeah, and then the mutts that's the boner team That's the team with the boner dog the mutts ends up the day, even though they're not allowed to compete in this big race. And they have to call him out at the last second because they're like, we need somebody with a boner to help. And none of us have them. Yeah. People love stereotypes.

They do. Yeah. What's your favorite stereotype? Oh man. I got a bunch. Mine's Iowa. Maybe Casio. I'm trying to think of other electronics companies that make stereos. And this joke isn't going well. No, it's going. Keep going. JBL?

Sonos? Yeah, Beats. Actually, Sonos? I got a fucking bone to pick with Sonos. Yeah, go off. I agree with you. You guys have Sonos I got a fucking bone to pick with Sonos. Oh yeah yeah go off I agree with you. You guys have Sonos? No but we always do this with our guests you're like hey do you want to say anything about Sonos? I got something to say about Sonos. Okay great drop that shit. Figure it out guys what's up with this app? Why do I need the app to play the music? I agree. And if you're gonna require me to have the app to play music at least make the app good. Yes, you know Yeah, I feel to go on my Spotify and just click a speaker

Yep, you can do with everything else go off if you're gonna require me to have an app make the app good Tell us just hire somebody on Fiverr. It's not that hard to fix the app. Yeah Yeah, and then you have to open your Spotify. Yeah. And it makes no sense. The connection is not seamless between those two. Yeah. I just don't play music in my house.

It's because of it. And then recently, someone's whole spirit. Yeah, it's just killed. It's killed it all. Damn. My kids have never heard a song. Guy hasn't listened to a song in two years. Yeah.

Jeez, I can tell. My kids don't even know what music is. Damn. Fuck. They play me something. There's just too many apps in general, and Sonos is a perfect example. They had an app that kind of worked,

and you got used to it. You got used to their fucked up app, and then they have to update it and change it because they want to make it look like the next generation of apps or whatever. Now it's fucked up and no one can use it. You think big Sonos is low key trying to make people hate music?

Yeah. It's been their plan. I think they're anti-podcast. Damn. I think that's why they're doing it. It all comes back to the podcast. Like it's been their plan. I think they're anti-podcast. Damn. I think that's why they're doing it. It all comes back to the podcast. It all comes back to us.

Not narcissists, again. I would imagine JJ Reddick had something to do with this. Probably, yes. That son of a bitch. Dude, he's gonna, you think it's gonna work? We like JJ, JJ's actually a friend of ours. I think. So we have to be careful.

I'm optimistic, I think there's a chance. What do you think about LeBron saying that he didn't have anything to do with the process even though he did a four month interview on a podcast with him? Funny. Okay. Yeah.

That is. Raises some questions for sure. That's one way to say it. Maybe some collusion there. But you've always been a LeBron over Kobe guy. Yep. You're big on that. He's big on that. He'll die on that

The slander is tough I uh look I was happy to get him I just don't want to be the team that drafts brawny just for the novelty. Yeah It's happening. Yeah Yeah, I know but you know and it's it'll be cool for like a game and then it's like well fuck Did we just ruin our future just to have brawny? Yeah, what do you it's gonna be a real life? It's the most gonna be real life Xander and Hawk where they wait

They draft Ronnie jr. He gets in and he's way worse than his dad. Yeah, he looks somehow older. Yeah Yeah, his body's breaking down. What do you think? What is brawny gonna say like on the court? Is he gonna be like screen left dad? Yeah, like is he gonna say yeah, like is he gonna say dad damn Oh, and how do you talk shit back to people right? He's like, you know says something about him being his son. He's like No, I'm not You have to eat those that's gonna happen a lot. Yeah. But I was just thinking about that. Yeah. Like in like what does LeBron do? Like the passive aggressive, you know how he always

whenever a teammate fucks up and he like yells at them, does he do that to his son? For sure. You have to. You gotta give it to everybody. Does he spank them? Yeah. You might ground them right there. Misses a three. Get over here. He's gonna do it again. Yeah. We see brawny missed a shot. Jimmy real quick. I want to glaze for a second because like when we first had you on in 2018, we've talked about this before, but Hank was a big fan. We didn't know who you were. That's bad job by us, but we're like, yeah, let's do it.

And then it became a real friendship and you've been on a bunch of times and it's pretty damn awesome to see like your career take off. How much money do you think you owe us? I don't even want to get into that because it's a lot. Yeah. You know? Like we have certain guys that we feel like they're, it's a different connection

cause it's like we liked them before maybe they're, it's a different connection because it's like, we liked them before. Maybe they're, you were already big, but like the next, like Josh Allen is up there for us because we were on Josh Allen before he even got drafted. Who else? Brooks kind of won a bunch after. I think he had one major. I liked this conversation because it's like Jimmy was already massively successful, but because we discovered him to ourselves, I like this conversation because it's like Jimmy was already massively successful. Correct. Because we discovered him to ourselves.

Then we're like, now we own you because we just found out about you. Yeah. We're kind of the podcast Illuminati. Not narcissists. If you come on. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, there's, I mean, since I've been on, it just, there's the industry plant

allegations. Yeah. They've just been going around. Industry plant, industry plant. I just like going on part of my take. Christian, you're about to feel this. You're gonna be the next Bobby Althoff. This is where it happens?

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to be. Bobby Althoff's on my vision board. This is my year, man. This is it. But yeah, it has been awesome. I mean, both you guys watching this become a movie, it's fucking awesome. Because this is the comedy.

Actually, there's a real question. Do you guys think that comedy movies are going to make a little bit of a comeback? Because we have had a lull. It has, whether it be with Shane and what he's doing, like it does feel like we're finally getting back to a point where we can start making like truly funny comedy movies because we had that run in the early 2000s, you know, wedding crashers and, and Anchorman and like all that stuff that was like truly hilarious movies and there's been it's almost been a void of it.

Yeah, I will say like there's a gazillion things I love about the movie we just made, but like every month that goes by, ever since like, you know, we've been deep in the editing process and I see the lack of comedies coming out or I see the movies coming out that are kind of comedies and I watch them and I feel like they're mid and lacking in comedy,

I get so fucking excited for ours to come out. I'm like, fuck yeah, the world needs this. It's kind of good for you in that way. Yeah. I mean, I was not even thinking about like how good it is for us, just like people. I want people to like laugh at some shit that is just for laughs. And it does feel like the pendulum swinging back to that where it's like, hey, we can start making, you know, shows and movies that are just, hey, they're funny and they don't have to be deep in any way.

Super high stakes, dark. Right. It's like all the comedies for a while have gotten like just so serious. Right. Where you're like, is this really a comedy? Why do I feel bad? There's a couple moments where I laugh. Yeah.

Like just because I laughed, like doesn't mean it's a comedy. Like I laughed in Sopranos the whole time. Yeah, I think Sopranos might be a comedy. Sopranos might be a comedy. If it had a laugh track on it, it'd be the funniest show on TV. Sopranos might be a comedy. Sopranos might be a comedy. If it had a laugh track on it, it'd be the funniest show on TV. Sopranos is hilarious, actually. But yeah, I'm also, it's gonna be nice to just have like a just for laughs type of movie out there. And I do think that the industry is starting to finally go,

oh yeah, maybe we can make some low stakes, just solid straight through comedies that aren't trying to unpack serious issues right now. That's really what it is. It's like, can we just make a comedy that just lives as, hey, this was really fun to watch? That's okay to do. I feel like we've lost it a little bit. Yeah, when you put a comedy on, you drop your guard.

When you put on the hangover or some shit like oh your guard just goes away Right I'm ready to just immerse that in this last Yeah, it's ready to laugh and you feel better after it's over too. Yep You just get all the laughs out and it like elevates your mood. So yeah the hangover I think is probably the last massively successful comedy, right? Yeah You watched the hangover recently? I did literally on Sunday. It's one of the best movies of all time. Yeah, it's so good. Beat for Beat, it's so good.

It's so fun. It's like a perfect comedy, and it also looks incredible. Yeah. Like it's Todd Phillips, the guy who made Joker. You know, it's like the shots, the hangover is beautifully shot, and also just, through watching it, you're like,

man, if TikTok was out when this movie came up, like came out, all of these moments were, oh, I knew this whole Wolfpack speech. Yeah. The whole song he sings to the tiger. There's so many iconic moments from that movie. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's true. So this is going to be massive. You guys are going to have a big hit on your hands and then you're going to be a Lister's. And then at that point, are you going to just, are you going to do the thing where you become like serious movie stars? At that point are you gonna turn your backs on comedy

or are you always in comedy? I'm not gonna drop out of the Boner Dog project. Okay, good, good. I'm not one of those. Here's another way to put it. Christian, when do you think Jimmy's gonna change his phone number and not tell anyone? He just got back from Japan and I think he's about to do it. Yeah.

I don't know what that Japan trip did to him. I'm waiting for the day where I text him and it just goes green. Yeah. I think he's about to be there. I don't know what that Japan trip did to him. Because I'm waiting for the day where I text him and it just goes green. It goes green? I think he's about to be there. Fuck. Like that's the last I'll talk to Jimmy. How many pardon my takes have you done? It's like probably five. I think it's like six or seven.

I think that's about the time you switch your number up. Yeah, this is probably it. I actually have been insisting on not changing my number. My number got leaked when we were in college by someone in El Paso. They put me in a group chat with like 90 people and said, everyone say hi to Jimmy Tate. And then for like months, I would just get blown up.

And this was before it was easy to block people on iPhones. So I had to like call Verizon every time and be like, hey, I have this number I need to block. And at one point I was like, hey, can I block El Paso, Texas? And they're like, Hey, I have this number I need to block. And at one point I was like, Hey, can I block El Paso, Texas? I was, I was set on not changing my number. So I kept that same number and now you get those spam calls and just go boom, boom, block. Yeah. Have you gotten the calls where you pick up and it's somebody else that's in your phone book and then they're acting like you called them to

That's happened to me like six times in the past year you pick up and You think it's a call from somebody that you know, and then you're like hello, and they're like hello I'm like you called me and they're like no you didn't you called me and who is it? It's just like they Sought my system before when we've been sitting in the room together. Here goes right now, bro Yeah, where it will be like are you calling me right now? It's just like they, there's like a software system, I think. Before when we've been sitting in the room together. Here it goes right now, bro. Yeah, where it will be like, are you calling me right now? It's like, no, are you calling me?

And we're just sitting across from each other. Really? Yeah. And why do people do that? For fun. Yeah, I don't know. It's actually a great joke. Well, there was that whole TikTok trend that went around

that was like, calls from women, and you're like, hey, I actually got to go right now. Yeah. And they're like, what? No, you called me. And you're like, sorry, I can't talk right now. Yeah. And they're like, huh? Yeah, that's kind of what they're doing, hey, I actually got to go right now. And they're like, what? No, you called me. And they're like, sorry, I can't talk right now. Yeah. And they're like, huh?

Yeah, that's kind of what they're doing. But just they don't really end to it. They don't listen to it. So it's really just like, I'm inconveniencing somebody. This is funny. Which is really the core of comedy, you guys know that. That's the frontline martyrs of comics right there. That's like when you would call when

you made your voicemail, hello? Yeah, that's a good bit too. Hold on one second. I still get gawped by that. I'm kidding. I get so pissed. You feel like such, you feel like a dog like getting faked out by a tennis ball.

Yeah. You're just like, god damn it. Why did I chase that ball? It's not there. Damn it. Who were your guys like first like comedy, what were your first comedy experiences that you got into as kids?

Like were you too young for the Jerky Boys? And like the prank calls? I remember the Jerky Boys. The Jerky Boys. They were big prank call. They would just record prank phone calls and then they became super famous. I was a big, like you talk about internet people? Yeah, just like whoever you're, like when you're a kid. Do you remember seeing a comedian being like, this is awesome. I want to do that.

Oh, yeah, for sure. Chappelle was that for me. Chappelle's show, I was like, this is brilliant. Like as a kid, I mean, record episodes on blank VHS and watch them over and over again. Yeah, Chappelle's show, SNL, I liked SNL. I liked the digital shorts. When Andy Samberg started doing digital shorts,

I was like, ooh, I like this. Whatever this is, I like this. Yeah, that was good. I liked Mad TV a lot. Yeah, Mad TV was great. Will Sasso. Yeah, whatever this is. I like this. Yeah. Yeah that was like my TV a lot Yeah, mad TV was yeah, will Sasso. Oh all that all that was huge Yeah, and then that was just like funny for the sake of being funny and like silly and goofy. I was about it Yeah, yeah mad TV there was that stretch for mad TV felt like It's like you almost were doing something like wrong because it was you know, SNL was the established thing and man

Yeah, he would would take more risks. Yeah, they'd be a little edgier. Yeah, just the badass, I'm a badass Mad TV fan. Yeah. Yeah, that felt good. All right, this has been awesome. Rowback question, r-h-o-b-a-c-k.com, promo code take, 20% off first purchase, Q-zips, polos, hoodies, joggers,

I think he's A. I think he's A. A-? No, I think he's like maybe second team. Second team A? I'm definitely not A. I think he's second team all A. I appreciate that, but uh... You drive a Tesla.

That's true. You're like going on vacation with Sean White. He's dating somebody like give him a a big up you know what I mean yeah yeah did you go on vacation with Miles Teller no I didn't I didn't make it to that one who did you go you want to make sure with someone famous yeah who was that make you more famous though like when you're on vacation when you're like in the south of France, it's like, oh, it's Jimmy and Bradley Cooper.

Right. Oh, fuck. Those are the circles. Right, right, right. And we just, the three of us just sit at home and be like, yeah, we knew to know that guy. Right, right. But they did crop them out of all the photos,

which was weird. That's true. Yeah. That one hurt, that one hurt. Just being in the photos, but not tagged, you know? Wait, what the hell were you doing in Japan? So I just got back last night. This is going to sound like a lie, but my brother is on the Team USA Deaf volleyball team.

Okay, go on. Wait, deaf or deaf? Deaf. Deaf. Yeah, so on. Wait, deaf or deaf? Deaf. Deaf. Yeah. So, uh. Is your brother deaf? He's like 50%. Like. Sounds like he's cheating. No. So, there's a, there's a, there's a threshold. Hold on a second. Yeah. You have to submit a hearing test in order to be qualified as deaf enough. I'm pretty deaf too actually but I didn't qualify. Wait, a hearing test, could you just be like, I didn't what?

You can't fake it. My mom's an audiologist. I had this argument with her like two days ago about being able to fake a hearing test. She said, you can't do it. I said I could do it. Yeah, you could literally just have to say what? There's two types of hearing tests. Okay. So like, if they don't match up perfectly, they know you're lying. Got it. And it's hard to it's hard to fake it. Got it. But your brother forgot a way to fake it. He's yeah. So but yeah, he's like 50 percent deaf. You have to take your hearing aids out.

But it was the world championships of deaf volleyball in Okinawa. Wow. So I was out there supporting John Petro. the team captain instead of for Team USA. Well, he was the team captain? He was the team captain. Was that because he can hear the most? Right? That's a real question, right? No, he was. He's not. I think he's not.

There's people who can hear more than him. OK, OK. How did we do? We did all right. Oh, no. We definitely are hear more than him. Okay. Okay. How'd we do? Uh, we did all right. Oh no. We, we definitely are qualifying for the Olympics in Tokyo. This is when people say like the end of the empire of us, like when we lose death volleyball, I don't know. No, I mean Eastern Europe,

they, they have volleyball and locked up. Also, if you tell that, like we played Turkey, we played Italy. You could tell those teams have been playing together for a long time. Okay. Our, our, our deaf volleyball program is newer here. Okay. We haven't really made an effort. Buy your stock now. Okay. Okay. So we will be, I think in the next few years, now that Johnny is the team captain. Yeah. You know what you need to do when you say this is a golden generation. Yeah, I will say Johnny Tetro, a Lister, a Lister, do when you say this is a golden generation. Yeah, I will say Johnny Tatro a Lister a Lister a great name. Johnny Tatro USA men's team captain. Yeah, we had a we had a beach volleyball

duo team for a while called team Jimmy John's Oh, I got Jimmy John's merch for us and we competed in a beach volleyball tournament We got second place actually wait, I got a question. So wait, your brother's 50% deaf. You said you're kind of deaf? I'm like not 50%, but I've worn hearing aids since I was four. Okay, and your mom's an audiologist? And my sister's an audiologist.

How did that, is that like, how did that work out? Yeah. Is that a chicken and an egg? When did she become an audiologist? She became an audiologist before we had hearing losses, but her parents, her dad had a hearing loss. And I think that influenced her. And then her two kids have hearing losses.

It's genetic. I just have to imagine that the Russia's of the world and the teams that are already cheating at the real Olympics, like if they're doping their people up, they're definitely cheating at the real Olympics. Like if they're doping their people up, they're definitely cheating at the grand test. 100%. I'm out there, it's funny too,

because they blow the whistle, and they're just like holding the ball. Yeah. And because like a whistle, that's like none of these guys out there can hear high pitched sounds. Right. I can barely hear a whistle.

And they all have their hearing aids out. So like when they're like the play is dead, it's like they just kind of keep going. No one stops them and let them just go. No one stops them and you gotta like give them a little wave. That's a very cool move though to go all the way to Japan to support your brother. Yeah. Cause that's not... I'm proud of him you know. Yeah. That's a long flight. It was a long flight. Came straight here. That guy's ready for it., we're gonna release this on Friday so people will know how much of a debacle beer games. Oh yeah, you guys competing? Yeah, we're gonna compete. Oh fuck yeah. We actually got kicked out. I saw the statement. Yeah, I was saying, what happened?

We got kicked out because we threatened to quit. We kept on saying it'd be a real shame if it got canceled. Yeah. And then they then we just shit on it so much that they're like, we don't want you. And then we talked to Will and Taylor, and we're back in. It's been a long, this has been a tough games to pull off. I don't know if you guys understand what the cons are. Tumultuous, it's seen some of the headlines. Yes, actually that probably,

if someone claims you're an A-lister, you could just be like, well no, because I competed in the beer game yeah I think any progress I had me right we're going back a little without the vacation no the height of the beer games was Travis Kelsey and Jason Kelsey we're gonna compete and will legitimately thought there was a 30% chance Taylor Swift was gonna show up to the four of us competing. So that's where we've got. I can imagine like Taylor just watching us drink beer and like clapping her hands be like,

yeah, that was so fast. Good job. Max is competing. Okay. Yeah. Hank is competing. So we're just grabbing everyone off the street. Are you guys compete last year? We did not compete last year. Are you guys nervous about the events and how it's going to shake out? Yes. Yeah, I mean, we're going up against. This is my wake up alarm, by the way. This isn't like a get off of the show. No, no, that's OK.

Just so you know. We're going up against a bunch of offensive linemen. So we're going to. We heard. That's what worries me. Yeah. Yeah. That's what worries me.

But you know what? We'll be the vibes crew. Because I've seen Taylor chug a beer. Yeah. That was actually the first time I met him was at the machine premiere. That's how he greets people. He's like, Hey, I'm Taylor Luan. What aren't you impressed by this? Yeah.

Just drinks a beer for you. We cheered and he was like, you guys want to chug these? And I was like, I just got here to this premiere, but nice to meet you. Yeah. Let's chug. And I like, I was still tilting up when his dropped. Yeah. Yeah.

And then so that's what's that's in my head there's a chance there's a very good chance that we're all getting invited to Taylor's house just so he can beat us in beer games mm-hmm I get which I respect that like if I were him I would do the same thing where I'd be like let me just invite a bunch of people I know I can beat right just boost my ego for if you do that though I'm not coming to your birthday party then yeah this is your birthday party yeah this is birthday party that's a fact but yeah bak tiari's in the this is his birthday party that's a fact but yeah

Bakhti are using the games and and I think that guy can definitely he can yeah you know I've seen him Chuck he's there's a good chance he tries to fight me because I'm gonna get drunk and start talking shit about Aaron Rockers yeah that's a good possibility I just realized that yeah but yeah the competing against offensive linemen and beer drinking competitions does not feel like a winning recipe for for men of our stature no right yeah I'd say you know guys like us mm-hmm in this size category 510 510 yeah me too same this actually is probably the biggest this is the biggest sporting event so how do we money Arizona what's our yeah Arizona like this you guys are never gonna go back to a

final four so this is the wow, you don't think so? Okay. No, probably not. Oh, wow. Damn, all right. I went to Wisconsin, so we stopped two of those. Oh, fuck off. Yeah.

Oh, damn. I don't hate many schools. I hate Wisconsin. Yep, we had this debate a while ago. Because of Kaminsky, right? Yeah. It was back to back years. Yeah.

Yeah, you guys had really had really good better teams. You had teams that, let's just say, you had teams that if you were picking teams, you would have picked a lot of Arizona players before Wisconsin players. Yup. Right. We still have, I mean, Aaron Gordon still going strong. Yeah. True.

Yeah. That's awesome. Basically, yeah. Yeah. And he's not the guy that I thought was going to be, I thought it was going to be, what's his name? Aiden yeah, Deandre no and before that like I thought Nick Johnson was gonna like oh, yeah Weird dude my my gauge was all off on that one pretty weird

Alright, well, thank you boys for coming on. Yeah, it's been awesome Christian great to meet you Yeah, to me been a fan from afar and we're pumped for this movie It's gonna be everyone go watch it watch it and then watch it again And then leave it on leave your house if you're going away for July 4th, put it on your EP Yep, just have a go.

Kentucky Sports Radio, pardon my take, take over. We have a big guest coming up in a minute If you missed the start of the show We want everyone to just remind us that we are ball knowers if you call in

Because we were the first to put coach cowell in the hot seat and then we Everything that we said was gonna happen turned out to be correct Exactly, right? Nostradamus if if you had listened to a seven years ago You would be much happier right now. You'd be in a better place right better place, so we do know ball Yes, Shannon has he called back in do you want to try to call him? Oh? Maybe shans talking to him you might be talking sounds good. I feel like that's good Okay, here we go alright, so

For the first time ever in Kentucky Sports Radio history We want to welcome on a friend of ours who's been on pardon my take. He's a legend in the state of Kentucky He's a horse racing aficionado it is st. John's head basketball coach Rick Patino coach Are you there? I am good to be with you guys. It's great to hear from you We're very excited to have you on we're so we've hosted this show eight years in a row whenever Matt is on vacation And we were the first to say the cow was on the hot seat eight years ago So today has been a victory lap for us

And we thought there's no better guy to have on to pump up Big Blue Nation your relationship with Mark Pope Than coach Rick Patino, So let's start there. I have some St. John's questions as well, but what are we getting out of Mark Pope as a basketball coach? Well, obviously I'm extremely biased because he was my captain of the national championship team and was a great captain, a tireless worker. And I absolutely love him and what he did for our program. But that being said, when I was not working, I traveled out to see him coach a small school, division one school

in Grand Valley or something, something like that. And I was blown away for how good a teacher he was. And then I watched every game I could at BYU and loved their offense. It was great ball movement, great player movement. And I just think Mark does a fabulous job at communicating with his players. He has a great way about it. And he has a quality that very few of us have. He has incredible humility. And for somebody who at a very young age, just as a tireless worker and is accomplishing things, he's always maintained the same humility that he had back when he was a player and Mark would you know obviously guys like Antoine and those guys all guys from inner cities and my language wasn't the greatest either but every day with Mark if he made a mistake he would

say Frick and constantly Frick Frick Frick and finally after a week it is I said Mark I can tell you what whatever God that you pray to, he knows what you mean. So why don't you just say it or drop it? That's great. It's just words. Yeah. It doesn't matter if it's an R, if it's a U. I think the message is getting across. Coach, when they hired Mark Pope, you were saying that, you know what? It might be time for Rick Pitino to cut a check to Kentucky's NIL program. Is that something that you're actually considering doing?

Well, I actually cut a check to the football program because I'm a casual friend of Mark and Eddie Grant, and I cut a check to the football program. But I would definitely cut a check. If Mark needs me for anything. No matter what, except for my first born Michael, he can have it. I absolutely love Mark and would do anything for the for his program. I'm very, I had, I always called University of Kentucky Camelot for me. I never had a bad year, never had a bad day. They treated me like a king. They treated me with great respect. So I only had obviously, I didn't get treated great when I was at Louisville, but sitting back on it and examining it today, I totally understand why.

So I am very, very fond of the University of Kentucky rooting for football. I sent the baseball coach a text wishing him good luck. So I'm very bullish on Mark and the football program and hope they do great. I love it. And I think the thing that Kentucky basketball fans should be excited about and maybe you can speak to this more is Kentucky basketball in the last few years now obviously Cal had success at the beginning of his run. But in the last few years now, obviously Cal had success at the beginning of his run, but in the last few years, it feels like the actual coaching X's and O's maybe wasn't there all the time. Mark Pope, if you watched him at BYU, the guy knows how to coach basketball and maybe you could speak to this specifically, but like being able to coach guys and put them

in the best sets to be able to, you know, draw up winning plays, the end of games. I feel like Mark Pope is the perfect guy for that. He is. Mark Pope is, he tried to become a doctor and it wasn't his niche. Mark Pope was a Rhodes Scholar candidate and he's just an extremely bright person and combining his credentials about being bright, he's an excellent teacher of basketball. He also has, he was also a terrific basketball player that got the maximum of his abilities

because he gave it all every single day. Great leader. He showed great leaders. Everybody in the team just thought he was the best guy in the team in terms of never said a negative word about a teammate, never said a negative word about his coaching staff, loyal to the point that you couldn't quite believe it. said a negative word about a teammate, never said a negative word about his coaching staff,

loyal to the point that you couldn't quite believe it. And his wife and children are the same way, just wonderful, wonderful people. And you know, look, Hal did a terrific job, but what happens with a lot of coaches, I mean, there are exceptions to the rule, I think Bill Self and I think Mike Siewchewski, you know, you run out of familiarity breeds contempt. They're a long time. You get a little stale. You need another journey.

So everybody, this is now Mark Pope's time. Cal was great at the University of Kentucky. He brought them a lot of success. We wish him certainly well at Arkansas. Now it's time to move on and have a whole different brand. Yeah, yep, you said it. Coach, do you have any message for the Kentucky fans that are listening right now?

I don't know if you've had an opportunity to address them over the last few years here, but we've got a lot of them listening right now that care about you, that care about the program. Look, I love the Kentucky fans to me are very, very special. They were treated me my family with great reverence. I got nothing but great things to say about the Kentucky fan. I totally get it today why they were bitter at me going to University of Louisville. I was going back because the reason I was going back is I loved Kentucky so much from my UK days and wanted to relive that love of love of the sport. But right now they have a fabulous program with with all sports. And I think that I think

that's going to be a special special time for Mark Pope and the University of Kentucky Wildcats because I think he's I think the fans are gonna fall in love with Mark Yeah, because the thing about him the Pope Pope didn't matter the name on the back never mattered to mark He could care less about individual glory could care less about it if anybody mentioned that he played a great game It's always about team. It's always about Kentucky And Jeff Shepard's and, and Ron Mercer's and mash burns and all those guys that I coach. It was always about Kentucky, Pelfrey, bellhouse, Pharma, all about them. And I used to always kid those guys in the locker room. They always

give every time they put the jersey on, Pelfrey would tear up and I'd say something wrong with you, Johnny, not feeling well. He said, said no every time I put that uniform on I just can't believe I'm putting it on I said well get over John we got a big game man yeah that's great yeah playing for the playing for the name in the front of the jersey is important especially in today's college basketball so speaking of that you have practiced in about 20 minutes how is your team looking this year? Because it looks like you guys added some really talented players. You were right on the cusp last year. It was your first year How do you feel like this team is going to shape and put and be put together?

When you guys start playing ball in November Well, we're much bigger with 7 1 7 foot 6 10 6 9 Well, we're much bigger. We're 7'1", 7'6", 10'6", 9", a backcourt. I never thought I'd coach another guard as fast as Peyton Siever, but I have a young man from Utah, Davion Smith, who is faster than, as fast, if not faster than Peyton Siever. I have Gadari Richmond from Seton Hall, who was a first team All Big East basketball player. I have Simeon Wilshire, who's a sophomore now, who's also a terrific guard. So the back court is really strong. The wings are very strong.

And the centers, although they don't have great experience, are very big, big and talented and athletic. So I'm really bullish on this basketball team. We were supposed to play Kentucky, but couldn't work it out. And I'm hoping that we can come to Lexington next year for our 30th reunion and Kentucky can go back to the Madison Square Garden the following year. I like that.

Home and home. I love it. Kentucky, quit ducking patino. I love it. You step up to the plate. Give the people what they want. Coach, are we planning on wearing more suits this year? That's very important for us.

I wore all suits the whole season just about with the exception of a white outwear I wore a white jacket and jeans outside of that I I wore suits the whole year. I like that. It doesn't feel right when you look on the sidelines and you see coach Patino wearing a like a polo shirt. We want to see the suits every game coach. I'm definitely going to be in them and you know what I believe in it. It's it's something I've done all my life So why not continue why change? There's certain things you have to change you have to change of the way you coach players today the way you Run your offenses defenses treat them and off the court as well

But certain things should not change and that's one of those yeah coaching these spring and summer practices What are you looking for this early on as you're putting a team together? What what are you keen on and practice that's telling you, okay, we could have a good team this year? You know, I made a mistake last year. I did not have my team ready early in the year because I was just focused on player development, working on the skill development, and I didn't work on a lot of team things defensively, and we were not ready early. We were ready late late and it probably stopped us because the

NCAA no longer cared about the last 10 games of the season they were treating the first 10 equal to the last 10. So now I understand that I don't think the net means a whole lot I think it's really quad one wins quad two wins making sure you don't lose like we did to Michigan, a quad three. We never expected Michigan to be a quad three game, but it was. So I'm going to have the team more ready defensively going into September. I love it. Coach, I have one last question. I missed you. I saw you were at Saratoga for the Belmont stakes. I was there as well. Yep. How did you do? I hope you did better than me I lost about $20,000 that weekend Not great not great. I was I thought I had figured it out

I did the one thing you can't do on a horse racing weekend is win the second race of the first day Because then you think you got it figured out and then I don't think I want to race for like 15 races in a row But how did you do and and what do you guys do you have some horses coming up? I do I'm racing tomorrow. I have a horse called Agalos de Great, who's the name of my agent in Greece. And Agalos de Great is running an aqueduct getting ready to prep rates coming off a long vacation to get ready for a big steak at Finger Lakes. I was, I believe I was two for 22 and getting destroyed. And I went back and tried to renegotiate my contract with St. John's. But I did, I did get out on the last race when I was leaving.

And if you could win the last race, you could cut your losses in half. Yeah. That way, was it the last last race or the second? I won the second to last race, you can cut your losses in half. Yeah. That way. Was it the last, last race or the second? I won the second to last race on Saturday. That was like a, like a 14 to one shot. And I was like, Oh man, maybe I did. Yeah. This was a, it was a long, yeah. I think it was the same horse. Yeah. It was on the turf. He came out of no yes. Yeah. Yes it was. Yes it was. That's right that's right yeah you need to when you have a bad weekend at the at the tracks you need to just turn to our good friend Mike Rapoli and be like come on let's go I told my wife I'm never going to the track again and she said I've heard that now 1,100 times yeah right I'm retired from horse racing for the rest of

the week that's what I do and then I racing for the rest of the week. That's what I do. And then I wait for the weekend. So you said Aguilo's the great, he's racing at Aquaduct tomorrow. What race is he in? Because I might sprinkle a few nickels on him. You know, I don't know. I think it's the fifth race. I'm actually traveling to Tampa for, unfortunately, for a funeral and I won't see it. But I know it's, I think it's the fifth race. My other friend, Chris Mara,

who owns his family owns the giants. We, he has a horse in the race and we're betting dinner to see which horse finishes out of who I like that. I like that coach. I'm actually, I'm taking a trip to Greece next week and I was hoping that you could, you could maybe teach me something to say a good phrase to say, or any tips about when are you going to be, when will you be there When are you going to be there? I'm going to be there Saturday through, I believe Saturday, full week. I'm going July the 6th to see them try and qualify for the Olympics. I try to help the Federation a little bit there.

You're going to Athens? I'm going to be traveling around a bit, yeah, Athens, and then checking out some of the beaches too. Great. So obviously you have to understand the greetings. They always say Cali matter for, for a good morning. Kelly's better for, for, um, afternoon. Cali need that. It's good night. And you always just by just just saying, yes, that's hello. Goodbye. That's hello. Goodbye. Hello. Hello. You're welcome. Hello Paul see say

You've got about seven eight expressions and of course The firm expression that you have to use if somebody cuts you off Malaka Okay, okay. I love it. Well coach. I know you got practice coming up. I want to thank you so much for calling in We're excited about Mark Pope excited about st. John's this year Thanks so much and have a great practice Alright guys tell mark. I love them. Okay. Well, thanks so much That was coach Rick Patino calling in to Kentucky sports radio history has been made full endorsement hatchet buried hatchet buried Well, no, I wouldn't say so you don't think so us on this day yeah rick patino is always welcome on this day yes uh but uh thank you to coach patino i told everyone they got it they got to stay tuned in for all the people who uh

usually say they turn it off after two minutes i think we delivered you can tell this guy loves kentucky yes he really cares about the state of yes and he kind of it sounds like he kind of feels bad about going to Louisville Yeah, he's like I I get it. Well, maybe not he doesn't feel bad, but he understands the hate that he got Yeah, yeah And so, you know, you know, it's good to see that, you know, everything's being mended and he's clearly rooting for Mark Pope As are we all right. We're gonna take a break when we come back. We'll finish up our one We also want to hear from you, Kentucky sports fans.

859-280-2287. That's a Clark Pump and Shop phone number. We're going to take a break. Quick break. We'll be back right after this. All right. Who do we got next? We got, we got Jack on the line.

Jack from Oakland. Hey Jack. What's up, Jack? Jack, what's going on? Hey guys. How you doing? How you doing? We're't. We're good. We're good. So Jack we've been taking a little victory lap today because we called coach cows firing eight years ago and he ended up getting fired. So you know we know ball.

It all kind of came to a head when they played in the tournament this year. I don't know. Did you catch the game. I thought a little bit of it. I caught a little bit. Yeah. So, so basically what happened was Cal has a great team and they go up against Oakland and there's a guy on the other side, Jack Goukey, who they just didn't guard. I don't know if you saw that at all. This guy, like if you're, if you don't ball at all like you would have guarded a guy like jack colki right i mean yeah like you would think that a guy like like me or him that's uh that's really just stroking it like that they would pick them up full pretty much yeah yeah during the second half were you surprised that that they were still letting jack colki get these open looks yeah it was kind of like like like I said, pick them up full,

like deny every catch and just make it tough for him. Like don't let him catch the ball, don't let him get a shot up because the result is gonna come from that. Yeah, I mean, anybody that watched that who knows ball knew that you should guard Jack Golke. And at this point, me and Big Cat mentioned in the first hour, but Jack Golke kind of could be responsible for the second coming of Kentucky, or I guess the third coming of Kentucky, when they return to glory in the next five, 10 years.

Do you think that Jack Golke should be present at whatever Kentucky's next banner ceremony is because he was the man that inspired Kentucky to make a change? I think they should definitely invite him. I hope he gets a warm welcome when they when they do bring them out and maybe even throw them some of that collective money. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds like a good idea. I like that. And then if there's like maybe two radio hosts that inspired Jack Goukey to attend that ceremony, they should probably get a cut of that in I own money too. Right. Yeah. I think it should

probably be split three ways evenly. I think you know yeah so Jack at what point during that game did you know you're on fire man it was it was early I saw that green light and I just started gunning yeah yeah yeah have you gone back and do do you watch the highlights of that game? I've definitely rewatched the game a couple of times. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't, it's a lot of fun. Have you had a moment since where you're like, they really just didn't want to guard me at all. Uh, I think, I mean, I don't know. After we're the game, I just kind of rewatched it and I was like,

there were definitely some open looks I had but at the same time like I think they were they were definitely trying like it was it wasn't like they were just Out there walking around, you know, no that actually hurts more because that means you were just better than them Jack are we I know the answer is probably no, but like maybe is there a chance your name gets called today Man, I got my fingers crossed. I'm not expecting it, but that would be a great surprise for sure Well, I mean you can look at Kentucky There's guys that are coming off the bench at Kentucky that are getting drafted pretty high you came off the bench And I think that the formula is right there you might be picked in the second round

I'm rooting for you, man And if you don't get drafted I I'm assuming that there's gonna be a team that at least invites you in for a look, right? Yeah, that's the plan right now It'll kind of all shake out today and tomorrow Honestly, and I'll kind of figure out where I'm gonna be headed hopefully for summer league and maybe I'll see you guys out there Yeah, absolutely. Jack one last thing because I think maybe some listeners right now are like this is a prank. This isn't actually Jack Kolke. Can you explain to us the set of your favorite three against Kentucky that you hit in the

first round of the tournament? Yes, sir. So favorite set, we ran against Kentucky first round of the tournament. The first one I made is called UCLA, a side elevator screen Sprint out towards our bench and hit a fadeaway three And there's a lot of people in Kentucky that are listening right now and I Hope that maybe you'd take the time to just say I'm sorry for beating him so badly Yeah, I just like to apologize that they got their hopes up. I'm not gonna apologize for winning Yeah, I'd just like to apologize that they got their hopes up. I'm not gonna apologize for winning

But I know there's a lot of Final Fours in the brackets and champions in the bracket So I like to apologize for that. Okay, big man. All right. Well Jack thanks so much for calling in where we you know, we're big fans of you and Good luck with wherever your next spot is for summer league Yes, sir. Appreciate you guys for having me. Take care. Thanks, Jack. That was Jack Goukki. Jack from Oakland. Personal friend of ours. Cool guy. I think we deserve that one after getting Ripatino on. Yeah, we can do no, well, this is the danger that you're running into right now. Me and Big Cat, we feel like we can do a heat check. Yeah, we should have stopped after an hour. We should have walked off and been like, look, we finally

repaired our relationship with Big Blue Nation. Instead, we stuck around, and that's when we start to just be like, hey, we could do anything. It is an abusive relationship that we're in. We just took you out to the nicest dinner that you've ever had at the best Italian restaurant in town, and then right afterwards, we go ahead and cheat on you again. Yeah. All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, we'll take some more calls.

We have Sam Decker and Frank Kaminsky coming up. Okay, let's go to the next caller. All right, let's go to Cliff. Cliff, what's up? What's up, guys? So I'm a little, you guys definitely know ball. Yes, thank you, Cliff. Call of the day, call of the day.

Right there, Cliff wins the Don Franklin Auto call of the day, that's it right there. Just saying we know ball It's a great point. Yeah, what do you get? Do you get a free car from that? Yeah, okay Go to the dealership and say I won call of the day. Where's my truck? Yeah, Matt Jones said I get a truck so in Gonna take you back just real quick in 1997. I went to a book signing with Rick Patino

He was doing success as a choice. Of course, I'm a UK fan and As a little boy, I went up to him and I said hey You are not gonna go to an NBA and he said I promise I'm not gonna go to the NBA so he lied to me and when I didn't care, we started getting a lot of players to go to Boston, which was fun to watch, you know, UK players go there. But when he went to Louisville, that was a slap in the face. And I don't know if I've forgiven him yet, but today's call, I think you guys finally kind of helped me turn that corner with him.

I want to say thank you for that, but you know Ball and you know how to get to our heartstrings too here in Kentucky because that was absolutely, it was a great call by him and hopefully Pope succeeds. We love Pope out here and go bills. I love it cliff So so little how old were you in 1997? I Was 14. Okay, so 14 year old cliff can finally let go of a grudge It's 20 almost a 20 year grudge Or no more than a 20 year grudge

Today we did that Yeah, thank you so much for doing that for me. I love yeah, I love it's a good moment I love hearing that because you've been walking around with you know that that tension in your shoulders for this this past 20 years Is hating Rick Petino now, you know what he came home today is the first day of the rest of your life cliff Thank you. Yeah, I appreciate this is important Yeah For sure now when you did call in, and you said when I was a little

kid, and I got my books, I thought you were gonna say you were six years old. And you said don't go to high school. Yeah. Little kid, but I mean, 14. I mean, I was not driving. So anything below, I guess 16, I would consider a kid, you know,

yeah, I was stupid, 14. I can't believe. Luckily we didn't have the internet then or not like that we do now. It's a good point. I don't think that you're going to run into that problem with Pope. I feel like this is the job that Pope wants. It's not a stepping stone. He's not going to leave because a chicken farm offered him more money. This is the guy and he wants to be here. And I do have a question for both of you. If you could share a story, share a story

about Matt Jones because oh y'all get to know him a little bit more than we do behind the scenes and he doesn't talk about everything. He talks about a lot of stuff but is there something like a silly story when you try to fit into

something he couldn't fit into and y'all have a good rest today. All right. Thanks clip That is a call day. I don't know what story comes up in your head right away PFT I want to show the first time that I met Matt. Okay, all right first time. I met him I was living in New York City great bourbon in New York great race horses up there and I was in my apartment in the West Village and I get a knock on my door and I go to my door and It's this guy with a funky haircut. No sideburns Wearing a Kentucky polo shirt, but he had a clipboard in his hand. I said how can I help you sir? He's like I'm here canvassing for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Would you like to sign up to be a member of her campaign staff? And I said no, thank you, and then I shut the door on him and then I found out two years later That was Matt Jones. Yeah, he was he was nice as could be in the moment. I just didn't feel like talking to him Yeah, so my that's a great story my first time meeting Matt Jones. He actually So it's similar. I was minding my own business get a knock at the door two big men in suits Put a burlap sack over my head threw threw me in a van, and then I ended up at a meeting of the Illuminati.

And Matt Jones was there, and he tapped me for the Illuminati, and he said, you're part of us now. I said, I don't want to do this, Matt Jones. Please. And he's like, no, if you're in the Illuminati, you're in the Illuminati. So I am part of the Illuminati now because of Matt Jones, so I do have to thank him for that. And I'll say something very nice about Matt. He sells the best adrenochrome. Yes, it is it is delicious

And I always feel better the morning after drinking it Yeah, thank you Matt and Kentucky sports radio listeners who love Matt you should know that he is going to live to about 300 years Because he's been drinking baby blood for a very long time. Wouldn't you say, Shannon? All this is true. Yeah, yeah, it's all true. Yeah, all of it. Every bit of it. It's wonderful. I wasn't going to be the one to say those things,

but I'm glad that you did first. Yeah, Shannon's part of the Illuminati, too. One thing I appreciate about him is he saves all his best radio and his best takes for when he's doing ESPN radio, when he's doing pre-game shows in the morning on Sundays. And so a big audience gets to listen to him and then he goes back on Kentucky and he's got the leftover scraps for you guys. But he does a very good job on national radio.

Yeah. So no, Matt's a great guy. We've known him for a very long time. It's kind of a funny relationship because in all honesty, when we started, we weren't huge. We had a little bit of a rocket ship with Pardon My Take, but he invited us on to host and it was one of the funnest days that we have every single year. He's been a supporter of us.

There's been times when it's been hard to be a supporter of us, so we always remember friends like that. He's a loyal guy through and through and I think that's a real thing. The Illuminati is real as well, but Matt is very loyal and he's been a a loyal guy through and through and I think that's that's a real thing the Illuminati is real as well But Matt is very loyal And he's been a loyal friend for many years and he does actually care about the state of Kentucky very very much very deeply no Matter how big his audience gets if he's doing TV shows if he's on get up debating against even a spent whatever the case might Be he cares first and foremost about Kentucky sports, and I that's never gonna change the mat

I do he's a very very nice guy Yeah, this is actually a real true story And I hope I didn't get mad at me for this, but I don't think he will Shannon Matt obviously talked about Possibly dipping his toes into politics. Yes. Yes, correct So when he was thinking about it, he called me and he was like, hey, I'm thinking about this Just so you know if I do end up doing this thinking about it, he called me and he was like, hey, I'm thinking about this. Just so you know, if I do end up doing this, there will be people who will come after me

and they will come after you because you're association with me. And he was trying to give me a heads up and I was just laughing the whole time he called me because I was like, dude, you don't think we've heard everything that's been said about us, the people that hate us? Like, this is gonna be nothing.

I don't know how it's gonna go for you But he was nice enough to like he was thinking of his friends in that moment of like hey if I'd go down this path With politics it could affect the people in my life And he was nice enough and aware enough to give me a heads up which I didn't need That it could be a ripple effect or a waterfall effect that if he does this we could be in the crosshairs as well And I always appreciated that for men and on his side of that that I Guess equation he was going through on whether or not to pursue politics or not He got he got his hands on some opposition research

and he said they will attack you or they will attack me for being friends with a part of my take guys and Never once did it occur to Matt to distance himself or anything like that. He's like I still love you guys I'll still defend you come on Kentucky Sports Radio once a year. I like this relationship. So he's a loyal guy He's not gonna turn his back because his backs against the wall Yeah, this is actually turning into a sappy Matt Jones segment But it's it's a great point because there's been, we've had through the course of our podcast and when we were on tv for one episode, we've had people who we thought were our friends not be our friends and not defend us and Matt Jones is the opposite. He's someone who has always

defended us and never been ashamed of his relationship with us and as you get older and you realize that there are a lot of people that will be nice to your face but not nice when you're out of the room. It's guys like Matt Jones who are the authentic guys who you got to hold on to those guys because those are the real ones. Yeah whenever Matt needs a favor we are there for him. Yeah this is Shane is this disgusting? I mean yeah I'm like come on Should we go to a break now and in this now? Right right now Matt's listen He's probably crying and he's on his his yacht with Greta Thurnberg and they're sailing across the Atlantic Ocean right now And he's listening on satellite radio and so Matt just know that everything that we just said about you

We were just saying because you pay us What is it this year like five hundred thousand A thousand dollars to host Kentucky Sports Radio. Two hours each year. So I think I think it works out to like something like ten thousand dollars a minute. Mm hmm. Well worth it. Well, what kept me in a little bit? Yeah, we can cut you in a little.

Henry yes What is your FireFest of the week? I mean we can we can kind of recap The beer games my my FireF fest is pretty much all beer games related The hangover that it caused me. Mm-hmm. I sent me back maybe lifetimes Maybe years have fallen off my live a terminal hangover. I have so far It's been two rough days like yesterday was rough, but the first days. Oh what happened yesterday? Yesterday I was just just, really hungover. We had to travel.

We got to the airport. I left my wall in the Uber. We had to wait. Okay, you're going too fast. You're going too fast. I'll explain what happened yesterday. Yesterday we had to work. We had to travel to Cincinnati to interview Joe Burrow, which is coming out Monday, July

8th when we're back from break. Just another reminder, we're going on break. Just another reminder we're going on break this week we'll have Dungeons and Dragons on Monday we'll have our Dingers only draft with Gunnar Henderson join the show quickly before on Wednesday and we'll also update any NBA free agency that that show day and then Joe Burrow on that Monday. So we all were very hungover from beer games. Beer games was a lot of fun. I'm happy with my retirement. It was a lot of fun to hang out with the boys. The hangover and the getting beat up in the pool was not as much fun.

The hangover anxiety is the worst part. I get tremendously anxious the morning after and it's gotten so bad that now I give myself a pre hangover before I start drinking. So before I start drinking, I think to myself, Oh my God, I'm going to be so hung over the next day. I'm going to have all this anxiety. Then that gives me anxiety going into it. So it's like just thinking about drinking now gives me anxiety. But I still love it. Yeah, it was, it was, it was fun. Like it was fun hanging out with the boys. I did want to go home around four o'clock in the afternoon

But that's just that that could have been at a bar down the street from my house And I would have been like I'm ready to go home. So it was fun. You had fun max Yeah, it was it was very very fun. We were talking a lot of a lot of shames on it before But looking back it was great. It was great. It was great I second with the boys this second I showed up and walk a flock was in the building. I was like, this is going to be a yeah. And it was shout out David back to your I know we said it on Wednesday. He's the man. So is Graham Glasgow.

Watch those Quinn Nelson. Yeah, they're all like everyone was awesome. The boys. It really was. It was. It was the boys. The boys. I know it was the boy having a great. So Chris Long, Chris, Chris Long, who we love. Dr. Fax. Yeah. all of it was a blast. So the one part that wasn't a blast was waking up the next day super hungover in Nashville

having to go to Cincinnati. Hank woke up. We got like an hour of Hank energy at lunch. Then we got to the airport. You know when we burned the Hank energy, we went out to lunch and that place had a line. And then we had to turn back and abandon that lunch plan. And at that point Hank switched.

Yeah. The first inconvenience. He was like, well, I try. We got to go to Gumbo. He had like good hyper like I'm okay energy for the first hour of the day. And then from that moment on, he just was a zero because we got to the airport. We get ready to our pilot. Yes, we flew private. I know that sounds crazy, but we were, we had to go with Nashville since he, since he's Chicago all within like a five

hour spot. But we're sitting there ready to go and our pilot's like, all right, here we ready to go. Let's get on the plane. And Hank stands up. He's like, I don't have my wallet. He had left his wallet in the Uber to the airport. That delayed us like 45 minutes. Really had no remorse. He made it our problem. Yeah. He kind of was just like, whatever guys. That's not true. I just went and hit outside. Yeah. I acted like I was like going to do anything outside, but I just didn't want to deal with you guys staring daggers at me. I just went and sat outside. Then slept on sat outside then slept on the flight slept on the bus ride to the Joe burrow interview

Kind of slinked around at the job or interview It's just I gave Hank an hour and a half to give me one question for Joe burrow the question got the people the question That the banter that they quit. Oh, it's a tremendous ban tremendous banter. I can't wait to release that question. We'll make a click today should not Preface it with that. I said it in the interview and people will be like the best question interviews No, we'll make a clip out of this and then we'll attach it to the actual question Let's see if it will let the people decide if it gets the bit the banter going But I asked Hank for one question for Joe burrow an hour and a half before the interview I checked in with him after 45 minutes. I was like, do you have a question? Hank was like, I have nothing. I have absolutely nothing to add.

But you did get one to me eventually. But we determined that the real issue was what's at the core of Hank's surliness is that he's had such a great last two weeks that now he can't get excited about anything anymore. If it's not him having an all-time life experience, Hank will just not be happy at all. You've been spoiled. The last two weeks have spoiled you, Hank. It was literally the first day that he wasn't just winning something. It was the first day that one of his heroes

didn't ask him to come hang out. And he was like, this stinks. I'm just hanging out with my coworkers. No, I'm old and the hangovers hit differently. You guys battled through. I tried to and I lost the battle. But my FireFest was going to be, and it'll probably be in PMTV I think, but people probably saw the screenshots in the video. Max, Big Cat, PFT, Will and Taylor were roughhousing in the pool and they had Max in a chokehold

and you guys were trying to defend him. Yeah, we were all defending each other. P were trying to defend him. And I was- We were all defending each other. PFT came to my defense, I came to Max's defense, Max came to PFT's defense. It was basically like a great reminder that when the chips are down, the boys will have each other's back. And I saw the cameras rolling. I was kind of, you know, I was joking.

I also didn't want to get, you know, assaulted. And I was like laughing, being, you know, had my hands up, my feet up. And then I waited For will to take his hands off of max and as a joke was like hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa To kind of you know, take credit for for helping out and will Was still very hyped up and then just took me and basically water boarded me for 10 minutes So I actually got what was coming worse than anyone else anyone else. I looked like a ghost, a bald ghost, just getting rinsed. And I also can't chug beers. Yeah. Yeah. Which I love going around. I love having you around. Yeah. I was happy I got the invite in, but

I knew I was not going to be able to compete. And then I think the most viral clips from the beer games were me not being able to chug and then me in will like waterboarding me. Yeah. And those got around. I heard her heard back about it. It wasn't great. Yeah. What did we expect showing up to this? Because I don't think we actually expected to win. I just want to have a you guys thought you were going to win. No, no, I just I want I wanted to compete and I knew that I listen I'm not a good chugger either. There's actually beat PFT but no one saw that I can drink all day. Yeah, Max and I would have been third if we were a team I beat you by I beat you by a second Hank

interesting per Jersey Jerry Hank I love having you around and and being part of the team because what happens is whenever you Yesterday I joked if if we had a plus- for a part of my take you were like a minus 26 and four minutes played I stepped in Three turnovers an airball shot and then subbed out for the rest of the game It wasn't just that you were having a bad day. You were blaming us for your bad That's what he does whenever he gets in that mood. He goes I could have just not come

He just tries to disinvite himself from everything. It's our fault we brought you here. No, I want you here. I love you. We walked into the Joe Burrow interview, which was a body armor shoot. And I walked in, Hank was behind me. We get inside. I noticed that the first thing I noticed about Hank is he's carrying a big water bottle of

a competing sponsor to body was on the bus I wasn't in the body armor I wasn't in the right state of mind and then when we told him about that Then he blamed me for not telling him not to bring that in there Well, no, I yelled that and then in pf2s like I saw that I was like you didn't say something to me You're like no, I just watched you do it. No, I was in front of you. So yeah, you're still doing it You're still blaming well cuz I got I got I got a stern talking to from one of our co-workers And she was like put that bottle away right now. I was like oh fuck. I'm so dumb and PFT

He's like yeah, I saw that I was like it could have said something well I saw it as you put the bottle away It's again my fault hang for no. No it's we should not have brought you on the trip. Yeah I was I was a minus. It's fine good guy though. Thanks. Oh, Hank. Yeah. Yeah, I love Hank. I love having around even when he submits a minus 26 in four minutes played. I think I was a plus overall on the trip. I was probably close to even. Yeah. I mean you getting told that you were that was the other part that we forgot

I might be in PMTV, which has a whole trip, but Hank was late to the airport on Monday night and he was like I might miss the flight. And that was when I found out that Rhone was sick and that I offered up Hank services to compete. And I deliberately waited till he got to the gate to tell him that he was competing because I know that if I had told the one he was in his Uber, he would have just pretended that he didn't make it in time his face dropped He was so mad well I just and it's true like I had the yak case race I was fucked up for three days after that the parade I was fucked up still basically going to the airport

Yeah, so I was like it wasn't that I didn't want to play it once I started playing I was having a blast, but I was like once you told me like you're in the beer games I just I was not ready for that. Yeah. Yeah, I basically had three of the Most drunk have ever been in the past like five years in the past week. Yeah No, I was July 4th coming up. I was saying someone I think I drank more beer in the last seven days than I have in Like the last two years It's a lot. I think Hank said that he's retiring. He's done drinking effective at the end of July. Is that true? Yeah, I was like I gotta take a break and After July

But then's August Labor Day, I know well usually I wait till September, but it's like we've had a really early start. Yeah, we did. You're not going to have any beer on grit week? No, but I need to like take a break. Like maybe like a weekend or something. Yeah. Take a week. Like a sat. Just don't drink on a sat. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. PFT. Okay. Yeah. My fire fest is also that I stink at chugging, but I knew that I stink at chugging. I've never been able to chug. So I knew that was going to be a bad category for us, but we, I feel like me and Big Cat responded well in some other events.

Three beers is a lot. Yeah. Listeners, people, it's like golf. It's like everyone's a pro, but like. Well, no, I mean, Max and I are pros. Yeah. Yeah, but three beers is a lot for just a normal person, for an average person. 8.19 seconds.

Yeah. Chugging three beers. Yeah. Thank you. Are we passing, is this passing the torch moment right now? I guess Taylor would be throat goatee. He did it in five seconds. Yeah. He's hanging out with Jeffree Star. It's insane. So that's one of my FireFest. The other is that, so it's also airport related. We get to the airport on, what day was that? Monday, Monday night to fly out and security is a, it's a very long line going through there. Usually it's, it's

pretty smooth. At least if you have clear, not to brag, pay for a clear subscription. It's TSA pre-check on steroids. Turns out it's actually not because sometimes they shut the clear down and you can't even use that. My fire fest is more that I've been meaning to get TSA pre-check for the last 15 years of my life, and it involves making an appointment and then going to the appointment, usually during business hours, and then you just have to, like, answer some questions,

and then they just say, okay, now your airport experience is gonna be 20 times better from here on out, and I still haven't done it. You guys were living off my TSA pre-check for a while, because whenever we booked together, you would get it automatically, which seems like a really weird loophole. Yeah, you're cool. That means that all your friends are cool, too. No, it's not necessarily that.

It's just that usually clear is pretty good. Yeah. It's not bad, but there's two or three times a year where the clear does nothing to help. Or if you go to a specific airport that doesn't have it So I am traveling internationally, which is going to be I can already tell that they're probably not gonna have clear in Greece So that will be an issue for me, but it's just about getting pre-check and then going to that appointment It takes like 20 minutes. I know and I've put it on thing. I've ever done. It's you know what? I'm gonna declare right now. I'm never gonna do it. Okay. I'm. And I've put it on. It's the best thing I've ever done. You know what?

I'm going to declare right now, I'm never going to do it. Okay. I'm never going to be a pre-check guide just because I know myself and going to an appointment, there's probably an email involved in it too that you have to click on. This is just not- But then you get it and you just have it forever. It's just not my thing. Shout out to my dad.

When I lived in Boston, so it was that long ago, he got me TSA as like a gift. But the appointment window was like eight to twelve months ahead Yeah, and so I never I never ended up going to it and I never have okay, so here's But shout out to my dad. Well, he tried he tried. Yeah, he was he was he was it was a good kind gesture I just didn't I wasn't gonna schedule an interview for 12 months for now. I didn't know what I was doing in a week Yeah, here's the moment. I knew I would never get TSA pre-check. Sure it's easier now. Right after I got to Chicago, I went to a place.

And it's like, TSA pre-check while you wait. I drove there, walked in the door, talked to the person at the front. And they said, do you have an appointment? I said, I didn't know that you had to make an appointment. They said, yeah, you do. If you just walk in right now, it's about a 2 and 1.5 hour wait. So I left. And at that point, that's

my shot. Yeah, I took my shot at it. And I can't do it again. Just not for me. Yeah. It is nice having TSA pre-check, except for when the only time it sucks is when you have clear anti-SA pre-check when they don't have the two separate lines. So sometimes I'll show up and you'll do clear, and then they'll walk me past everyone in the TSA pre-check line. Yeah. I'll cut everyone, and that's always a weird feeling. Yeah, you get the plus.

Yeah. What usually happens to me after going through clear, they usually take my bag out anyways, and then I have my microphone and a computer in there if I'm going on a vacation or a trip, and I have to have it in case we podcast. And then they look at me and they say, Oh, are you in a band? And then I have to say, no, I'm a podcaster. I have to clarify that. Yeah. Um, all right. My firefests is similar to Hanks. I've just, my brain is empty. It's

been a long seven days, eight days. Also, I just, I miss this fear. I don't think my life's ever going to be the same. I got to get back. Everything just seems like there's been multiple times where I've just been sitting and being like, man, I wish I was at this fear right now. It sounds like this fear is quite a trip. It sounds like this fear is better than real. It's like you you're experiencing the avatar. Yes, correct Where people go to see avatar and then they get depressed when they leave because the world is an avatar That's exactly how I feel what if they played avatar in the sphere it would rock anything would be cool. That'd be heaven

Yeah, so I don't know. It's just it's just not the same life max fire fest I Do have one But we don't have to talk about it. Oh, okay. Good. That's good. Podcasting. Well, I don't know if we, if I do, like I don't even do fire fast. Yeah. No, you do now get ready to learn fire. First, we've had like a really busy past couple of weeks and I was doing a really good job of working out every day and like trying to eat healthy during the week and the past couple weeks I went you go

through some of the footage from here well I'm feeling fat like fat as fuck beer games I don't know how it happened but every time I turned around another piece of your Jason Kelsey jersey was gone and the funniest part is that you kept it yeah oh yeah you ripped that jersey up to shreds to the point where it's basically like a it was a poncho Yeah, no, not even a poncho is just a caddy bit It looked like it looked like a dog got a hold of it and tore it up and you're like fuck it I'm gonna wear it anyways, and then they're like I'm gonna come to hold on to it like But if we ever do the beer games again, I would have to wear it again

That's where you know what it looked like it got so bad at the end that it looked like a Jersey you would wear Because it's your lucky Jersey and you're never giving it up. So you're like I have to put this on I know it looks like shit, but I got to wear it Yeah Max you also had a moment that we should probably address During beer games where who came up to you and said I can't believe Kelsey got here Who was that was back to Bakhtiari. Bakhtiari was in... He's the man. But he came up to Max and was like, wow, I thought Jason Kelsey wasn't going to be here. And Max didn't think he was joking.

Well, it was the way he worded it. It was the way he worded it. How'd he word it? He was like, I want you to know, it would be like, yo, big fan. I've been following you. You think Dave Bakhtiari would go up to Kelsey and say, big fan? Well, that's what he said. And he was like, I love what you and your brother are doing. I'm like, well, I don't know what that means None of this went through my head and he was like and I was like shit dude, like why are you?

I was like that's crazy that you're coming up to me like a fucking idiot and then I And then he was like, yeah Jason, right? I was like, oh my god You were a fan of myself, which is so embarrassing for me to think. And then I just kept like slapping him on the arm. I was like, ah, that was a good one. I turned around and got out of the conversation as quickly as possible because I was so embarrassed. Yeah.

You know what was striking to me is because there were so many big dudes at beer Olympics, just a ton of offensive linemen, and they all look like they're in much better shape than us. Yeah. So it's like stereotypically you think, oh linemen, you think big fat guys. I feel like that's old, oh linemen. These guys, yeah. Like the new age of, oh linemen are all ripped. They're all in great shape.

That's the scariest part of going to beer games too because I always just Size is age to me. So like I was talking to a couple guys who is it Zack? Who's the guy on the Eagles now? Trevor Keegan Trevor Keegan and Zack who got drafted I think was it Zack Minter? That was another thing Michigan man, I got out it as not being a ball-nower. Yeah him Yeah, that was very bad. Um, but they are, they both got drafted. They're both bigger guys because they're offensive linemen. And I'm just thinking in my head, like you're big, you're at least 35. They're like 22. Yeah. Like, God damn it. Yeah, I felt like I was a different species. It was not Zach Minter. I'm thinking of a

Bear what the fuck am I thinking of who is who's the guy who was? All right, we wait who knows draft picks Michigan draft picks. Who do we talk to you? Who's your guy? Who's your guy the Eagles guy? Yeah, Trevor Keegan Trevor Keegan Michigan awesome, dude He was like you're such a big you're such a big Eagles fan. Who am I Trevor Keegan? Awesome, dude, and I want to shout out the other guy because I'm fucking this. Oh, Zach Zinter Yes, Zach Zinter also awesome dude plays for the Browns now. They're both like 23 years old Large humans and they could kick our ass in beer games and in life We got to get back to your own though. He is that he is the guy

I love I he was the fact that he got max in a blender like that was awesome. Mm-hmm.
