Hey, pardon my take listeners. You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen, add free on Amazon Music. On today's part of my take, we have recurring guest, Rob Lowe on the show. Haven't talked to him in a couple of years. He's got a new podcast out.

I think you can go download it. It's coming out this week. Chris Pratt is his first guest. He's gonna have Magic Johnson on. We get into that. He's gonna get some answers for us. We have who's back of the week. We have the Mount Rushmore of stadium pump-up songs,

which we're going to. Are we gonna allow Billy into that Mount Rushmore? Yeah. OK. Yeah, all right. So we'll let him into it, and then we'll decide retroactively if it appears on the graph. OK, all right, all right.

OK, so that's fair. And then we have a Monday reading. So a packed show for everyone. Billy's already looking like he doesn't know what to do. All right, we'll get to that later. Before we do all that, part of my take is brought to you by the Cash App. Not only is the easiest place to send money to your friends,

it's the safest. It's the number one app for social distancing. It's the number one app during a pandemic. It's also the number one app for giving away free money, because they gave away $10,000 on Thursday night after Doug's National Championship game. They're giving them away money in their Twitch stream. They're giving away money when you put in the code BARSTLE.

You get $10 for free. I want to give a shout out to the Cash App real quick, because they didn't do this for publicity. But when people were just cash-apping me for the NAACP scholarship thing, they gave $1,000. Just out of the goodness of their hearts. Yeah, so that's what the Cash App does. They're just giving away free money, and it's the best app.

You can use it as your bank account. It can directly deposit your paycheck. It has everything all set up. It's beautiful. The Cash App is the number one app. It's so, so easy. So go download it right now. Use code BARSTLE.

You get $10 for free. And the Cash App will also send $10 to ASPCA. So download the Cash App from the App Store, Google Play Store, today, and get involved with the Cash App. OK, let's go. I almost burped. Welcome to Part of My Take, presented by the Cash App. Go download it right now.

Use code BARSTLE. You get $10 for free. $10 to ASPCA. Today is Monday, June 22. And if you were listening to the preview, we have settled it. We figured it out in the space when Electric Avenue was playing. Billy will not be involved in the Mount Rushmore today. He will instead do a side Mount Rushmore of lifts.

So we're here. Lifts is in not like stuff you put in your shoes, not cars you get in instead of an Uber. We're talking lifts is in muscle development for gains, exercises. We are here. It is Monday. It is Hellscape Sports World. I swear to God, I'm starting to get too woke that this has all

been rigged so that we all have to watch soccer, which I don't even hate, but I watched so much soccer this weekend. I watched enough soccer to the point where I feel like I totally understand the drama going on in the EPL right now. It's like, I didn't realize it, but Liverpool. Shout out to Liverpool Puddlings that listened to Part of My Take. You guys are getting your first English Premier League title a long time and it almost got taken away from you,

like the Montreal Expos lost in the strike year. So congratulations. You got a result in your derby against Everton. They wanted to win there. They did want to win, but they got a result. But yeah, so Pulisic scored. But yeah, we're here where we are. Life is now just soccer with the little side of horse racing.

That's pretty much it. The globalists will never make a lot of soccer. Oh, yeah, go watch. Oh, yeah, go. Brooks Gapco. Did Brooks win? No, he's tied for the league right now, but I don't think he's going to win because Tyrell,

whatever his last name is, is tied with him. And he's got like 12 more holes left in the courses. The course is a joke this week. I want to give my fuck you of the week to the course down in Hilton Head, South Carolina, because it's just getting dominated. Yeah. Take away this course's tour card.

We got the Travelers, though, coming up, which if you get one of this show, you know how excited we've been. It's a big one. The fifth major. So excited. So excited. But it's big. Yeah, it's basically bigger than the British show.

I mean, the field that they have every year for the Travelers. It's a minor major. It's a who's who. I would say it's a major minor. Yes. OK, I like that better. Either or. Just get excited for it.

So yeah, that's sports. We're here. Dak Prescott contract back in the news again. That's great. I feel like there have been nine updates on the deck. It's like between Dak Prescott and Jamal Adams to figure out whose contract is going to be in the news. By the way, we talked a little bit about Jamal on Friday's show.

He is the new Antonio Brown. We all just think that Jamal Adams is now a free agent. And Antonio Brown is a lot crazier. Not on the mental side. I'm talking about the fact that he has is all convinced that he's a free agent. Right. He's still got two years that they can control his contract

more, actually, if they just start franchise tagging him. The only other big news I saw was Twitter decided to go. Like they went full send. And I'm going to tip my cap to the cancel brigade because they went for the final boss, Joe Rogan, and failed. And that was funny to watch. That was that was a heat check moment by Twitter. It was like, holy shit,

we've been hitting shots from half court. We've been canceling everything. Let's see if we can take down Joe Rogan, who has the biggest podcast in the world and can basically just snap his fingers and take his audience anywhere. And they failed. But they tried. And I had to tip my cap like, hey, shoot your shot.

You you attempted to take down the biggest guy you could take down for cancel shoot for the moon. Even if you fall short, you'll end up amongst the stars. It was funny to watch who knew nothing about astronomy. Used to tell he was trending all day Saturday. I just kept on looking and being like, what is going on here? Well, I couldn't fully understand what what he was being canceled for. And then I realized like Joe Rogan, what what Joe Rogan would just go

in and just talk into a fucking tomato can and 10 million people would listen. Yes, he would sell 10 million tomato cans with strings on him. Ham radios just listen to through their windows if you wanted to. The thing about Joe Rogan is, yeah, he is uncancelled because he would actually let's say that Twitter was able to get his contract with Spotify canceled, right? He would just take that ride that wave of publicity, go back to what he was in before and still make a shitload of money, if not more.

He owns his own podcast and his only boss is Dana White. Yeah, that is that is the most bulletproof person alive. Yeah, Dana White would give you a raise if you almost got canceled for something. I just that was that's our new sport because we have no sport. So shout out to whoever tried to cancel Joe Rogan. That was you tried and try. And this is not an endorsement of everything Joe Rogan has ever said or done, but he has a huge fucking audience and tried. You tried.

He tried. It was trending all day. And I was just so confused what was going on. Oh, how excited are you guys for the SBs tonight? Huh? That's going to be electric. That's tonight. SBs are uncancelable. Yeah. So this is this is what he decided to do. I didn't even realize he were tonight until Adam Schreffer tweeted out earlier today, the SBs are tonight.

And that was basically the entire breaking news that he had. They're doing, I don't know, like a virtual SBs. I'm sure it's going to be wonderful. They did not. They did not reach out to me to write any of the jokes for the monologue. So I'm, you know what? I'm canceling the SBs. This is actually this actually might be electric. Yeah. Who's hosting?

I don't know. Not me. Who would? How do you know? How did you find out that they were happening? Adam Schreffer's tweet that said that said, I think the Adam just found out earlier today that the SBs would tonight, just like us breaking the news. I'm going to look this shit up. Post Russell Wilson, Megan Rapinoe, Sue Bird. All right. From a zoom.

Yep. This isn't even when the SBs usually are. No, no, it's it. The change when it was the SBs are reserved for the most sacred day in sports, the day after the All-Star Game, when there's nothing going on. I did. I love the SB and trying to like boost whatever they're having people watch now. When they did a big hosted by Mike Greenberg, a big sports are coming back

like round table where they talked about sports coming back and what it would look like. And I was like, wait, but it's not sports aren't actually coming back. Like I'll see it when I believe it. But all I see on sports news these days are every fucking person, every, every single fucking person who's ever played soccer can play soccer right now. And then if you're in a NCAA football weight room, you immediately have coronavirus. So you have pretty much wanted to see what the Joker did. What?

Jokovic. Oh, yeah. What do you do? He played in front of people, right? He hosted a tournament in Serbia. That's why you're a crowd. No social distancing, no mass, ballboys, the works. And then a guy that was playing in the tournament got Corona and had to put up an Instagram being like, hey, I kind of got Corona. And it was like, it was even.

Hey, I kind of got it. It was like it wasn't a tournament. It was like a volunteer, like he didn't have to play. So we have ten. And he was like visually like sick and coughing and shit in his match. I'm laughing, but I shouldn't laugh. Holy shit. Jokovic was saying he's like, no, well, you know,

I know a lot of places haven't dealt with coronavirus well. But like in Serbia, we have done a good job. Yeah, can do this. That's my go. Man, didn't he get beat by like an unranked guy last week, too? Well, he's probably sick. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, he's probably pretty weak. No vaccine.

Jokovic is getting his shit pushed in left and right. Anti-vax, anti-vax Jokovic. Billy just got it. That was a little late there. It's funnier when you repeat it. So say, can you explain the joke? OK, so Novak is like no vaccine. Novak, anti-vax.

OK, got it. Got it. We buried that one. Anything else? Instead of instead of the Richter scale of Kate Upton, Boobs, just have Billy explain my shit and just slowly. How many minutes it takes to get a joke and say it back? Yes. Anything else we got? Anything else that's buzzing around news?

I just we're just waiting for MLB. We think NBA is going to happen. We think hockey is going to happen. Clemson football is going for herd immunity. Herb, Clemson, which is Davos, like finest move. Pretty much every football program is having is going to go for herd immunity. And it's going to we're going to have a football season that just every team that already got it out of the way.

Those are going to be the ones. Yeah, I think betting like betting is going to be crazy when like star players and shit get like announced to not play like a day before the game. That's what I was saying. They're going to do the test. Like it's going to be fucked. The way they haven't set up right now in the NFL is that on on Saturday nights, they're going to be testing the players, if all goes according to plan.

And then they'll get the results back probably within the hour. And then at the very last minute, they'll have to say which players or Matt Perry. Matt Perry is going to be so mad. David Johnson might get a career record in rushing attempts this year. That's going to be funny with him out. Watching people get mad when people are sick and be like, fuck you, you fuck my fantasy. So you're going to have to take that into account when you're doing your drafts

this year. Like which which player is less likely to hang out with all of his teammates? Who are the biggest losers in the NFL? And you're going to want to pick them up so they have less of a chance of contracting it. Aaron Rodgers. Bokell ahead. Boom. Good. Good point, Billy. Aaron Rodgers.

He's my one. He's my one A. Yeah. All right. Let's do our who's back of the week. And then we have Rob Lowe coming up and we have some Monday readings, some Mount Rushmore on the other side of Rob Lowe. Before we do who's back, it's back people. Because just like those that do the do United States collection always

comes back for more. That's awesome. That's awesome. They did this. Mountain Dew. Yeah. Hell yeah. With 50 state labels, Mountain Dew fans can find the drink they call home and explore the 49 other bottles that make this collection better together.

This is like a state quarter. Yes. Mountain Dew bottles. Collecting all 50 labels earns you $100 and each bottle you stag grants you a chance at winning one million. Getting all 50 might sound like a tough job for the next few weeks. You have to go to the other states. No, no, you have to get the do bottles.

I thought they made so only Mass bottles. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. New York, New York. I was thinking about it anywhere. You just want to road trip. Getting all 50. You just want to go to California. Yeah.

I'm addicted. Getting all 50 might sound like a tough task to some of you. That's why I see it's not on here. Let me get you guys. All right. That's why Barstool is spreading the word about the United Trading Post at do knighted.com, a site that lets you swap labels digitally with others, AWS being the most adventurous doers of all.

So you can go swap them, Billy. You've got to. Billy's going to have to find this. Your summer adventure starts with the sip. Be bold. Be on the lookout for the United States collection. I fucking love this. What an idea.

That's great. I'm going to make my own DC one. That's going to be my project. Have photo shops get an open back up over here. Dude, Billy better get all 50 do knighted. I'll help him out. Do you think that there's one that they make it super hard to get? Yeah.

The monopoly game where some FBI agent is going to do an interview about in 20 years. Yes, there has to be Rhode Island, North Dakota. It's definitely not Florida because they Floridians would know immediately if they didn't have their own Mountain Dew bottle. Yes. So I get six cents for them. All right.

Who's back a week Hank? Why don't you start? My who's back of the week is dunking babies into water. Oh, OK. Set up Baptist this this video. I mean, this is so Ken Jack actually co-worker found this video working on TikTok, I guess, and put it out on Twitter. It went viral and it's this lady.

I know it's a podcast. It is a lady holding a baby and I kid you not. She basically just Gronk spikes the thing into the ocean and then it like floats back up and it's like it sparked a debate on like if this is the proper way to teach kids how to swim. It's a funny you guys haven't seen the video. I'm just saying the baby into the ocean. She she Gronk spikes it into a into like a pool.

OK, OK. But it's like a back and pool pool season. Dunking is back. What do you oh, the food was wondering what you're doing. Yep, Billy's back. Interesting. So is this is it similar to those videos that go viral every couple years where there's a priest that gets super aggressive?

I think usually it's like an orthodox priest who's like very intensely doing the baptisms. The the coronavirus baptisms were very funny with the priests with super soakers. Yes, that was that was great. Yeah, oh, this is a very funny video. Yeah, good call, Hank. I kind of want somebody to do that to me.

That looks like that looks awesome. Mm hmm. I love dunking. Dunking is great when you dunk someone. Yeah, hell yeah. I want Cardi B to just Cardi B. Smash me into the ocean. All right, Pifty, who's your who's back?

My who's back of the week. I'm going to I'm going to get a little personal here because I did tweet about it and I put it on Instagram last week a little bit. Leroy had a very bad end of the week on Thursday. He got extremely sick, was very, very worried about him all week and long, ended up sleeping on the floor with him a couple nights because he actually couldn't move for a while.

And he just he the fucking dog just made the best recovery that I've ever seen. Hell yeah. Any animal ever. I was it was it was getting pretty emotional for me on Thursday and Friday. But Leroy seems to be back to normal. He is an older dog. He's 12, which in massive years is like 120.

So he's an old guy and he's he's been through some shit, but he keeps coming out the other side. But Leroy is officially back this week back to his old self. And I'm very, very happy about that. Very excited to have Leroy feeling better. There's no worse feeling in the world than having a sick dog because you can't ask the dog what's wrong. How do I fix it?

You just have to you have to snap into parenting mode. And so I know it's not the same. It's not really real Father's Day, but I felt like I felt like Leroy and I get closer. Well, that's a great segue because who's back the week for me is my coworkers not wishing me a happy Father's Day. But that's fine.

Happy Father's Day, big guy. Happy Father's Day, big guy. I wish you on. I liked I liked your tweet about being a dad. It's fucking awesome. Yeah, it's the coolest. That was my support. Yeah, hit the heart button.

There we go. I loved it. No, I actually it was it was very weird because like not to say. I don't know. Workers are their hearts in the right place, but I didn't get some texts from our coworkers being like happy Father's Day. I'm like, don't you just supposed to say that to your dad? Yeah, like I'm not.

We there's nothing here for me. So but it was a nice gesture. That's not my real who's back. My real who's back is Guy Fieri. Guy Fieri is back because the city of Columbus is has a petition now. Columbus obviously not a great dude in history. So we're cleaning up history and we're

replacing it with real American history and going to name Columbus Flavortown. That would be sick if Columbus's ships were named diners, drive-ins and dives. In retrospect, we should rename his ships. Yes, we should rename everything. I kind of like this, though, like the we're going to clean up history, get rid of the bad dudes and get like a real true culture.

I mean, if you hate Guy Fieri, then I hate you. Right. I will. I will die on that hill. It's impossible not to like Guy Fieri. Yes. What do you got, Billy? Can I get a who's back? Yeah, you have a second. Who's back? Hold on.

You have one of the second. Guy Fieri needs to come on part of my take. Yes. He said that he would come on part of my take if I eat 50 of his wings at his restaurant in Atlantic City. Guy Fieri. We were going to have him on in Super Bowl Week, but he was like in Fort Lauderdale and that was a long way

away, which also Super Bowl Weeks feels like a long way away. That was a long time ago. My other who's back is teenagers in general. The TikTok teens basically registering for K-pop and TikTok teens registering for over a million seats at Trump's rally in Oklahoma and then having everyone say like, oh, yeah, we're going to have a million people there. And then it was like 6,000 people there.

Just listen, if you want to go at someone, just don't go at the fucking teenagers on TikTok. And they're a scary group. And the K-poppers. The K-poppers are they wield the most. All respect to K-pop. Yes. They wield the most power of any single group on the internet

by far. The strongest in the show. Open in fight on the show. I'm included. Yes, you have K-pop on the show. I'm including the MFAM. I'm including the NRA. I'm including SEAL Team Clay.

I don't want all the most powerful SEAL Team Clay, dude, for D-Bap. On the internet. They pale in comparison to the K-pop army. So who's the big one? Who's the big K-pop band? I know, why would you ask? I thought the name of the band was K-pop.

No, it was John. Korean pop. Jeff D. Lowe booked them on Good Morning America at one point. Shit, we got to get them on part of my take, though. We got to get on their good side. We're pro K-pop. I'm actually a huge K-pop fan. Yes, you're such a BTS.

That's what it is. BTS. I love BTS. The number one fan behind the scenes was. BTS is my favorite band in the whole world. Let's get BTS with BTS. Name one of their hits. That'd be amazing.

Their biggest hit. I like them all. I can't choose one of them. I know. It's like choosing your favorite. Philip Rivers' Child. Boy with love. Dang them style.

Nope. That's side. No. That's K-pop, though. It is K-pop. That's a K-pop song we all know. But we're talking about BTS. We're big BTS fans.

Billy, what is your? Who's back to the week? La Crosse. La Crosse is actually coming back. And now you guys are going to all be forced to watch it. And I know Hank's a big La Crosse guy. La Crosse is sick. Everyone's looking at La Crosse wrong.

La Crosse is just legitimately tribal warfare. The closest thing to primal tribal warfare. How is it back? It's back because they're going to be playing when other sports are playing pretty soon. This week? Wait, when is it coming back? I think the PLL is coming back in mid-July.

So when all the other sports are going to be back? No, but baseball won't be back. And everyone's going to be like, what do we watch? You missed the part where Billy said how it was tribal warfare. God. That's why it's back. It's back. Tribal warfare.

Got it. Tribal warfare is back. Tribal warfare is back in form of La Crosse. Yeah, it's actually sick. You would be hitting each other. No, no, no, no. We're taking it back. The Native American.

Healed in the core. Yeah, we're pulling down the Chad and Brad's of La Crosse and going back to the original tribal Native American like spirit of the game. OK. All right, good. Grow the game. Nice.

Grow the game. I used to love playing La Crosse because it would knock out the Chad's and Brad's legitimately. Hank, what do you think about that list? You say that you aren't a Chad and a Brad. I don't consider myself a Chad and a Brad. That's weird. And to be like, I would fuck up a Chad and a Brad.

Look what you're wearing right now. Look at what you're wearing. You have an upside down. The final boss of Chad. Yeah, and let's get to the ad read because Billy, we have whoop is our ad read. Billy texted us over the weekend. And he said, hey, dudes, I lost my whoop jet skiing.

So yeah, again, let me read the ad. OK, that's the most Chad move ever. No, my buddy was taking advantage of the Trump box. And he got a jet ski with it. I lost my whoop on a jet ski. What do I do? Yeah, and then when we're like, dude, are you kidding? You then just sent us a video of you

like revving the jet ski engine being like, I'm not kidding. Look how badass I look. We're going to get to the bottom of exactly how Billy lost his whoop, because I guarantee you it was not just like I fell off a jet ski and my bracelet fell into the ocean. Dude, it was it was a lake. OK, yeah. But either way, here's the good news.

Billy has a whoop back. He's back on his whoop. So we had a momentary lapse, but Billy is competing on whoop. Everyone needs to get on whoop. We PFT and I have our whoops. We love them. It's not just for athletes. It's for everyday dads like you who hit the golf course,

parent your kids all day, coach Little League, mow the lawn, do the hundreds of other things dads do. Whoop keeps track of things like heart rate, activity strain, hours of sleep in your body's overall daily performance and tells you how you're recovering from all the work you do, even some PGA tour pros use whoop every day to get an advantage on the course. And so can you whoop gives you 24 seven data on your activities.

No, nothing at all. Nothing about that screams. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. It's a great thing. You just need against your own right denial. Yeah, right. Like, I think that's a sweet move. But yeah, you're hating it yourself.

after he interviews Magic Johnson. But Chris Pratt, what a great first guest. Go subscribe to Rob Lowe's podcast right now. Ooh. There they are. How's it going? What's happening, guys? I haven't seen you since the big party.

It's just a Super Bowl. Yeah, oh, yeah. Oh, that was there. I'm sorry. Wait, let's save that. Let's save that for the show. Hold on. Yeah, yeah, oh, it did.

Yeah, I thought we were going right away. All right, we're going right away. We're just going to go. We're going right away. It's our good friend, recurring guest, Rob Lowe, on the show. He's got a new podcast, which is called, literally, with Rob Lowe.

I think I said that correctly. We're going to get to podcasting. We're going to get to everything else. But holy shit, I didn't realize you were at our party, Super Bowl. I apologize. Turns out, doing an open air party when there is a tornado slash hurricane in Miami

doesn't really work out. Did you survive a little bit dry or were you just soaked? Oh my god, it was absolutely insane. I mean, I thought people were going to be swept away. Yes. I mean, I legit thought people were going to be swept away. And the other thing was, just the fights were gnarly, man. They were good.

Yeah, yeah, the open route is always a good time. It was a trip. I managed to wiggle my way into the front row, and it was so crowded that it was tough to move anywhere in that crowd. I was sitting there watching the fight. I turn around, and Rob Lowe is standing right next to me. And I'm wearing the NFL logo hat that Rob Lowe was just

on television wearing, matters of weeks before. Can you walk me through the story of how you acquired that hat and why you decided to wear the NFL hat? Yeah, so I have a show on Fox called 9-1-1 Lone Star. And we were about to premiere. It's the spin-off to 9-1-1. And Fox has spent a ton of money on it, and it's their big hope.

So they want me to come to the game and sit there. We're going to be on after the game, and then they're going to cut to me, and it's basically an ad for the show. And I love sports. I'm a football fan, so I'm down to clown. So I get in the car to go to the stadium, and Fox has a gift bag of swag for the game.

And I'm thinking I'm going to get a championship hat. That's what you get, right? You get, like, no. There's no team hat. There's no championship hat. Nothing other than that NFL hat, which, by the way, I thought this is the dopest hat I've ever seen, because I'd never really seen one other than on a ref.

Yeah. And so I loved it. In fact, I was texting people the picture on the way in going, how cool is this hat? And then the next thing you know in the second quarter, my phone starts exploding. Yes. Exploding.

And I'm like, oh, they probably just cut to me. But I had no idea that it had become such a thing. It was so funny, so unexpected. You got roasted. You got roasted. But in a fun, like, there's every now and then, right, the internet has these moments, because the internet is very cynical.

It's pretty pessimistic. But every now and then, there'll be, like, a good old fashioned roasting that no one gets hurt. And it's just a good time. And it also kind of plays in to your character in Parks and Rec, where you're positive. And it's like, I'm rooting for everyone to have a good time here.

And it was so fucking perfect. And guess what? It was, what game was it? It was NSC Championship. Yeah, it was 49. So I had a great time watching the Packers get the shit kicked out of them. But that was, you're an NFL fan.

You root for all the teams to have a great time. You've won 54 Super Bowls in a row. That's right. I'm undefeated. You're just a fan of leagues in general. There hasn't been a Super Bowl that my team hasn't won yet. It's amazing. I like, like somebody said that my favorite player

was Roger Goodell. I mean, they were really funny. I love roasting myself. It's like, when I did my Comedy Central roast with Peyton Manning and those guys, it's like, I love a good joke at my own expense. And there were some really, really, really funny ones coming off of that.

We got more attention than we ever dreamed for the show. Yes. So now, flash to current day, you're with us right now. And you are wearing a Houston, is that an asterisk hat or an asterisk hat? It's a Houston asterisk. OK, good. OK.

Hat that I had made, I made 7,000 of them, along with my son, Matthew Lowe, who's were both huge Dodgers fans. Are you guys on the same last name? Matthew Lowe, you never know. Some people, you know, they get married, they don't have this thing. Who knows?

I can't keep up without the last name brigade is currently. Yes. So Matthew and I made these for our friends and it became such a thing. People wanted to buy them and he's selling them. So Matthew Lowe's Instagram account, you can get one. But they're hilarious and they're subtle. I get stuck on the street.

He'll be, yay, Astros! I go, look a little closer. Yep, yep. And then on the back, it says, Houston asterisks established 2017. I love it. So I also love that you get to double take from somebody who thinks that they're your best friend.

And then you're like, no, I hate your team. And then they have to kind of just deal with that face to face. Do you think that we should retroactively award the Los Angeles Dodgers World Series? No, I don't. I don't think we should do that. I literally think, hence the asterisk, it's like, you know, and I love Barry Bonds.

I don't want to drag him right now because he's a really good dude, in spite of what everybody says. He's always been great to me, but like, that there's sort of a perceived asterisk around some of that stuff, McGuire. Oh, what do you do? Andro, there's the Andro in the locker, yeah. Right.

You know, it's the juicing era. It's like, you're not going to take away the guy's, you know, thing, but you kind of go, oh, yeah, it just has that kind of patina to it, which I think people already know that that the Dodgers got bound for 100% bound. Yeah. The juicing era, though, that is the juicing era is probably the most hypocritical that like sports media has ever

been in the entire world in the fact that they all made so much money covering McGuire and Sosa and Barry Bonds' quest. And they all knew. And they all knew. And baseball had this big boom when they needed it after the strike. And then when it became, you know,

the congressional hearings and everything, and everyone said, oh, my God, I can't believe it. What are they going to tell kids? Fuck that. Listen, you probably shouldn't have steroids be legal. But if you can't look back at juicing era and be like every single player was probably juicing, I don't care all those numbers.

Barry Bonds is the best baseball player of all time. I have no problem without. I don't care if you want to throw in steroids, whatever you want to say that you can't erase that. You can't take that away that he was if you watched him in his prime, he was the best baseball player of all time. 100%. And you know, there are people in baseball off the record

who will tell you everybody was doing a version of what the Astros were doing. Like, if you really, if people get really, really honest, but in the sense that, you know, a guy on second base is always trying to steal signs like sign stealing and that kind of low level stuff is baked into the DNA of the game. But the sort of institutionalized sign stealing.

Yeah, once electricity becomes involved in the situation, then it's a problem. That's a totally different thing. Yes. And I love the notion of its electricity, high tech algorithms, and then a trash can. Right. Yeah, right.

It ends. Yeah, that's the ending of the pattern is just like, take this bat and then smash a trash can lid for it. And then I'll use my ears to figure it out. It's so perfect. It's the best way to get the message across. Just start banging on a bunch of loud pipes whenever a curve ball is coming.

Well, speaking of curve balls, like Clayton Kershaw, he's the one who really got roasted. Yeah. I mean, that guy, you go and look at those Astro home games and he got lit up like it was batting practice. And turns out it was. Yeah, you Darvish as well. He got, you know, that it was pretty unfair if you're one

of those guys specifically. I always thought it was just it was weird how on time Jose Altuve always was like when he's catching up to a fastball. It was just weird to be in Bregman, too, for the last three years. Those two guys, for sure. So I waved the Dodger flag over the dugout

for a couple of games. It was really fun. And I just like doing shit like that. And so I was over the Astros dugout with the Dodger flag. I think it was game two. And I decided to turn the flag upside down and wave it sort of into the Astros dugout. So I was being a little bit of a bitch, you know, on purpose.

And the next thing I know, a water bottle comes at my head. And I look and it's Altuve through a water bottle at me. And but it was all but he was it was great. Because again, it was like he was kind of being a dick, but I was kind of being a dick. And it was all good. It was all good fun and competitive. But you know, do we think he was wearing a wire device?

What did you guys think? I think so, just because it's so fun to imagine that he was. Yeah, that like he's running down the third baseline. He's telling people don't rip my shirt off because he's just strapped up like he's Donny Brasco, like from his nipple to his belly button, just like microphones everywhere. I want to believe that it's true.

But I'd say it would take a pretty big set of balls to actually wear a wire. It'd be incredible. It would really be. Well, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Why would it take a big set of balls? OK, if you're already doing what they're doing and you're worried about crowd,

like they could just walk up through logically because there's nothing about walks like a duck and a quacks like a duck. It's probably a duck. OK, so you're banging on a trash can. Maybe there's a couple games you can't hear it, you miss it. I'd never heard it.

Dude, we banged three times. It was a curveball. I don't know. So the next thing you know, someone's going to come up with an idea. I know. Let's take the noise thing out of it. And it's a buzzer.

And then you go, OK, you got a guy coming around through a base, greatest moment of his life, greatest moment of his career. And he tells he doesn't want to take his shirt off because his wife is shy. Fuck. He's blaming on his wife. Good to see you.

It's fucked up. She's very modest. And then the bad tattoos one was was great, too. Yeah, it's a bad unfinished tattoos. Yeah, I remember watching it. I remember like it was yesterday and going some things. And this is before any of the there was even a whiff of the cheating scandal.

And I thought something was really bizarre about his behavior after that walkoff. You said the biggest Tom run, arguably, in baseball history, one of them. Yeah, and I thought he was acting really shady. Yes, I mean, it is the logical next step. If you are saying like, OK, what's a better way to signal to somebody than, yeah, something wireless.

I actually also think that at some point when you're going up to bat, if you're a Houston Astro and you know that you've got the system worked out, you're thinking a lot more about like, wait, is this trash can sound going to come? Then you are actually about the game situation. Like you're right. Mine is just like, you know, it's focused on that.

So I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to get a little bit more fancy with it. But man, I just wish that there had been we had some sort of camera angle that you could see an actual wire across on two base chest. That would be so great. Would have been fantastic. So let's talk about your podcast.

You. Yeah. So what in your brain said, you know what the world needs? Another podcast. How did that go down? Here's what happened. Frankly, as I have done podcast myself, yeah, I've had such a great time having these unfettered, long form meandering.

Say what the hell is on your mind conversation because it's the podcasting, as you know, is the only place where you can do that now. When I came up, you could do that on talk shows. Yes. You could do it. And you would have these great rock on tours come up and talk about random shit. And now it's like you talk for three seconds

and then they want you to do a pie fight. Right. Or get on a skateboard track or something. Right. And so I, and then the other part of it was I started doing a one man show and touring the country and just sort of enjoyed telling my stories to people. And then on the other end of it was like, look,

I've been doing this for so many years. I have so many interesting friends. Like no one's going to talk to Gwyneth Paltrow like I am. I've known her since she was 16 years old. Like I know where all the bodies are buried and it's going to be fun. And like no one's going to talk to Chris Pratt the way I'm going to.

And so that was the impetus for it. And I'm loving, loving doing it. It comes out on the 25th. Yeah. I said that in jest because I actually do think like as someone whose job is to podcast, it's a ton of fun. And there's a pushback that's happening right now

that I understand it. That people are like, well, not everyone needs a podcast and celebrities are kind of taking from the smaller podcast. But to me, it's the more the merrier because one, I want to hear those conversations. I want to hear the conversations where people can really strip it down and be like, hey, we're friends. Here's our friendship out in the public.

And two, there is an element where we're showing it right now. If you start a podcast, you have to go on a podcast. And it becomes an ecosystem where you come on our show. And so whenever someone starts a new podcast, like I'm not mad because guess what? They're probably going to come on our show to plug it. And we get to talk to them and have a good time with that. Yeah, I did it with Conan O'Brien's my partner on the show.

And we've done each other's shows and it's been really fun. And it's like, it's like, look, if you would be curious to pull up a chair at a dinner I'm having with Mike Myers, then this is the podcast for you. OK, nice. I can get on board with that. Nice. A little tip as you're getting into the game,

you always need to get your host or your guest, excuse me, to say something provocative, say something that's going to get some headlines. So now I'm going to open up the floor for you to say something provocative that we can take out of context to use the floor. Bro, I already have. If you don't think my public perception mind

hasn't been cranking through this whole interview going, I'm about to get ruckus'd by Major League Baseball and the Houston Astros ownership. And they have, I mean, little accuses them of cheating or whatever, you know what I mean? Rob Lowe designs hats. What about what about what about big or what's untouchable to Drew Peterson in jail?

We announced that right now. Let's go. I would I would play I would play that character forever. I mean, you know, when I get to get into a fat suit and we're prosthetics, it's like a get out of jail free card. That's true. I can kind of do whatever I want to do. Yeah, have you ever considered taking on like the Christian bail route where you you accept the role,

but you have to gain like 70 pounds for it? Well, there's a great story going around about the Oscars where Christian Bale was up for lead actor. And oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was a come on now. Gary Oldman. OK. Gary. So Gary Oldman and Christian Bale are up for this for the same award. Gary Oldman wins it.

And backstage, Bale's like, so how did you handle the weight? How much how much did you have to eat? What regiment were you on? He's like, what do you mean? We're a fucking fat suit. Are you crazy? And Christian Bale, who did not win the Oscar and tortured his body and had a miserable experience, is like,

oh, and watch the guy walk off with the Academy. So hence, that suit. Yes, I wanted to quickly bring up a issue that is near and dear to my heart and that we share we have in common. And I think we need to use our platforms for good and get out there. You don't know what I'm going to actually say. You're nodding because you think I'm actually say something serious. But you and I both are admitted hair

dyers and I want to get out there and let people know it's OK to dye your hair as long as you're honest about it. I have gray. I get the grays around the temple. I look like Pauline Walnuts. You've been dying your hair since you were 24 years old. Let's end the stigma now. Well, I look like I'm with you on ending the stigma.

But let me be let me be perfectly clear. I have been my hair is not gray other than the temples. And it is. And it's gray now. And I'm fine with it. But I play different characters all the time. And it's not appropriate for them to have some weight. You're ruining the stigma. You're saying that you don't dye your hair for pleasure.

You do it for for for work only. I don't want to ruin the stigma. But if I weren't playing characters, like during during covid, I let I let it all hang out. Are you gray right now? Let's see. Let's show me the temple. No, not now. No, because I'm because I you're preparing for maybe an audition project. You look great. You look great.

Yeah, you're pretty good for a 41 year old. Right. Do you do you do you have someone else diet or do you do it yourself? I have highly trained professionals. I mean, listen, it's like working with my hair. My whole look is like working with radio isotopes. You've got to be really, really careful. It's just I I am OK. The people who I get upset about are like Coach K, for example,

who will not admit that he dyes his hair. Let's end the stigma. Just say for sure I dye my hair. I tell people I tweet like, hey, dyed my hair today because there's nothing to hide. It's just it sucks when you're I'm 35 and I look like I'm 50. When I don't dye my hair, it sucks. So yeah, call me vain. Call me self-absorbed. I dye my hair and I'm not ashamed of it.

You're never you're never going to get an argument from me about dudes doing stuff to look better. I think more of a show. Yeah. That's a great one. That's the best. Yeah, dudes, fellas, we should be looking our best. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with no problem. There's nothing. There's nothing. You know, that's why we love our girls because they do it.

Right. Every girl is raised in a culture where they want to everybody looks good and wants to do this, that and the other. But the guys, you know, let's let's face it, you know, it's what's why I started a men's skincare line because I I I believe that every guy should try to be the best version of themself, not just with how they look, but with everything manicure and pedicure. You know, I've had them. I feel like it's it's it's there are other things I could be doing with my time.

OK, because I that's my next hurdle is like I haven't been able to do it. But I know like my I I bite my nails. I got crap cuticles are bleeding all the time. I've heard the massaging of the foot is very nice. I haven't had it. So good. I haven't had it, but I've heard that's the way that you that's why you want to go. Dudes, just talking about this. Yeah. What's your what's your skincare thing?

I need to buy that. Oh, yeah, it's it's you'll love it. It's called profile cobalt. And you can you can get it to you. That's smart to get dudes into it. Like what we got to talk about a metal or something like I got this new skin care product, it's called murder face. Yeah, it's called Hemi 9000.

Yeah, exactly. I wanted. Yeah, you I can't talk. I don't want to say you guys I can't say you serums and things like that. No, no, no guy wants that. But you know, cobalt's the shit, dude. I I it's everything that I've learned over the years of going into, you know, I show up for work and people start lathering my face up with stuff. I never would have done it on my own.

And it's been happened to me since I'm 15. And I think you kind of see the results over all of the years of people doing I would never do it on my own. That's the issue. Guys don't do it. They need to do it. Yeah. They need to take care of the skin. Who do you think looks better for their age? You or Paul Rudd?

I love first of all, I love red. We work together on on Parks and Rec. It was so funny and so hilarious. Frankly, I didn't realize how ancient he was. I did not. I did not real. I just thought he was a young man. Turns out he's really old and just looks great. I didn't know that.

Good job deflecting the question. Yeah, really good job. Right. See, we're going to get right back to this interview with Rob Lowe. Before we do, I want to talk to you about our good friends over at Roman and their nightly defense system they've got for your body.

Now back to Rob Lowe, given in 2020.

Do you think the politics of Parks and Recreation holds up? Well, the one that I'm more worried about is is the West Wing. Yeah. Yeah. Do you what do you actually like in a real honest answer? Like I've seen that where people are like, oh, my God, I can't believe they glorify the cleanser or anything. However, it may go down. Do you just step back and you're like, listen, it's a fucking TV show.

What do you want us to do? And it was 10 years ago. When I was making the West Wing, I mean, listen, obviously I knew we were portraying a liberal democratic administration. I mean, obviously I knew that, but I didn't really realize how much of the success of the show it turns out was because that audience loved it so much. I assumed everybody loved it.

Now, with hindsight of a few, you know, 10 years, you realize that there were people like, oh, that liberal show. Poppycock, which I never I was never aware of it when we were making it. I really wasn't. Yeah. One of my favorite things is when people go back and they try to ruin shows for themselves by thinking of what presidential candidate each character would have voted for. So like I saw that with the office while back.

I'm sure some people did it with Parks and Rec. I actually think that I think you would have voted for Jill Stein. I think you're a Stein voter. I think Chris Traeger would have written in. Leslie, no, you didn't write in. He would have been a write in guy. He'd be like, my vote counts as much as anybody's. And, you know, and he would have, you know, he would have written in.

Leslie, no, or, or like, or maybe been like a Mayor Pete word salad, where Mayor Pete throws a bunch of words at you and you're like, I don't know what you're saying, but I love it. I love your optimism. I love your positivity. Yeah, if we must try, then we must make the effort. Mayor Pete gave off very heavy Chris Traeger energy. Yes, yes, yes. He's an Indiana guy. Yes. Yes. Yeah, there you go. He's probably from Pawnee.

Oh, I saw that you were doing a show called The Mental Samurai. Somehow that slipped through the cracks. I didn't I didn't know that that show existed. Hence, hence the touch up of the gray gentleman on the temples. Mental Samurai. Yeah, it's it's it's for the people who created what's what's the fucking obstacle course show that's so fast. It's been around. Well, no, no, no. Thank you.

And it's it's an amazing game show where people have to compete with their knowledge of every aspect of trivia and knowledge while in this NASA inspired space arm that's put subjecting them to G's. It's like the craziest, most fun. And by the way, it's so fun to do. We we did it last year and we're starting our second season. I'm going to start shooting it in about three weeks.

It just sounds cool. The Mental Samurai. Yeah, the winner is the Mental Samurai. You win $100,000 or more and you're and you're the Mental Samurai. And you better know you're you better know everything from what you would a men's member would know to what the third Kardashian's name is. OK, so I always wondered like with Alex Trebek, because he's hosted Jeopardy for what, like 35, 40 years, something like that. Is he really smart by now?

Does he retain all that knowledge? Like when you're asking people trivia questions, do you retain the answers that you're asking him? No, unfortunately, because there's so much coming at you. I think what you do is you go, oh, that's a question like, you know, you remember the question. Mm hmm. So you are would you consider yourself to be a Mental Samurai? I'm really good in in certain areas in certain areas.

I am a full fledged Mental Samurai and in other areas, I am a mental something else that we can't say because it's politically incorrect. But you're a dummy cock. You're a dummy. I'm dumb. What was are you actually going to do a Tiger King thing? Was that pictures of the tease? So, yeah, so Ryan Murphy and I are talking about doing a Tiger King Tiger King show together.

And that picture was sort of a makeup test. And I just made that whole thing made me laugh. I loved everything about it. I love the notion of me playing Tiger King. It's like Drew Peterson, frankly. Yeah, same. It's in the same vibe. And, you know, a lot of times I don't get called on to do this kinds of things. But whenever I do, like behind the candle opera or whatever, I just love it.

It's so like freeing. So Ryan and I are we're working on it. But we're having some rights issues. There's so many different competing projects. Carol Baskins owns the zoo now. Yeah, but no, don't you think there's an element where you can't top something that is so, so ridiculous? Like that, the documentary is so ridiculous

that how are you going to get even bigger than that? How are you going to get even like it's just so unbelievable that even I would imagine if you brought that script to a Hollywood exec, they'd be like, no, this is you got to tone it down a little bit. Yeah, for sure. And I think the only way to do it is is to do like what was happening behind the scenes of what you saw happening. So you could never regurgitate the big, amazing story beats.

You would have to do you'd have to have a different take on it, which is why I was talking to Ryan Murphy, because Ryan has got such an interesting way of coming about stories. But I don't I my guess is where we are right now. It's not looking as is very good because of the right situation there. Damn it. But it would be fun. Yeah, you'd be very good, Joe, exotic. Yes. When you're playing, I have a question for you guys.

Yes. What did you think about the Tiger Woods, Tom Brady, the whole goal? I mean, I'm sure you've talked about it a billion times and I probably just missed it. But I was so excited for it because I'm very much into golfing now and I thought it was a train wreck. You did. You didn't like it. Why? I kind of like the train wreck aspect of it, though. Here's the thing. I'm not a hate watcher. I don't like to hate watch things.

I just don't. I don't. I know that's a whole thing and people love it. It's just not for me. I don't know. I'm probably not as evolved as others. But I was like, OK, it's South Florida. You know, it's could rain. How does Tom Brady's Mike go out on the first hole? How does how does it happen?

So you didn't like OK. But in their defense, they had to have kind of a skeleton crew of technology. Like you saw, it wasn't a ton of camera guys had to reset a bunch. But that's fair. That's a fair assessment to start. But then I then I was like then another one. Look, I know I'm going to sound like the nitpickiest, nitty, nitty picker man like, OK, so they're teeing off and all of the balls land, you know, wherever they land in the fairway.

You kind of know there's always that landing area. You know, they're going to. And there's like a golf cart parked there with like craft service on it. I'm like, what the fuck is no one paying attention? Is anyone directing this? Yeah, I think it was it was interesting to watch like superstar athletes like Tom Brady suck at something. I think a lot of people enjoyed watching Tom Brady really stink it up

for the first few holes and it kind of made him a little bit more relatable. And when they missed that high five when when Brady hit that putt and they went up for the high five and then it was so awkward. But in their defense, it was probably a more well executed high five than anything you see between golfers normally. But I just liked all the weird stuff that was happening over the course of the show. And it was just good to watch something at the same time as everybody else in America is watching something on TV.

I that that part, I'm totally down. I couldn't I couldn't agree with you more. The other thing is I wanted as much as I love seeing Tom flounder just because at least you said it humanizes them. And all I do is flounder on a golf course. I was like, oh, yeah, I have that shot, that that shank, that hook. I would have liked to have seen it under better. I just I just didn't love the way it was produced.

And and and I but I wanted to love it more. I guess my expectations were really, really high, really high. I think maybe if it had been set in California, that would have been perfect because in South Florida, it's going to rain the entire time in the spring and early summer, like you should take. And I want to hear and I want to hear. I mean, you know, Peyton, who is a friend and who is just the best and he get no one gets it like Peyton, he he knows.

He knows what people want Peyton Manning to be and is. He was genius on funny. You could feel him taking control of the broadcast, actually, because he's his instincts are so good. I think he was like, oh, this is kind of a train wreck. So he'd be in the cart, talking into the camera and sort of narrating. And that that part was was great. I was surprised that the other guys were were sort of seated.

Their sort of entertainment value, particularly when the the play had gone so shitty. You'd think that at least they would go, well, let's at least entertain people. So you are the Peyton Manning whisperer. You you broke news about Peyton Manning the past. You're good friends with him. Is he going to go into television? Is he going to get in the Monday Night Football booth? Um, didn't I think didn't they offer him all that stuff and he turned it down?

Yeah, yeah, you know better than I would. Well, I know and I don't know anything. Personally, I just know what I read. I read that they offered him the money at football booth. But here's the thing is like I what exactly how much money did they offer him? They offered that you read that you read that you read. I that I don't remember. But it was it was like, you know, on par with what they signed

re-signed Romo to do, huh? Who's obviously now the highest paid. Interesting. And what is it? What are the what are the newspaper and the media say why he didn't do it? That you read not that you know, but that you read. Here's the here's my I have an opinion on it. Oh, OK, we'll do that route. OK, so. OK, here's my.

That Peyton told you, OK, go ahead. And by the way, he we've never we actually have never ever ever discussed it. Of course, Rob, I did not. You're trying to see this is what I need to learn as a host. Yeah, you're going to back me in to click bait. Yes. Yeah. And then we get you to say something about Peyton Manning. And then we get Peyton Manning on the show to refute what you said. Then Rob, then you have us on your podcast that we can tell the story behind it.

And we can clear your good name. We've been doing this for a while. As you said, I know ecosystem. You guys, you guys know what's going on. Um, as Peyton always says, I can't believe my career insider stuff is being broken by so to pop Curtis. So what's your opinion on it? Here's my opinion.

I grew up as we all did with Monday Night Football. It was an event. I everything stopped, had people over. Everything was everything rotated around it. Granted, the world is different. There's more outlets. There's, you know, all of that. But the reason that this that's football night in America, which is genius,

is so great is because for whatever reason, they've let Monday Night Football go to the dogs. And it's been that way for a least five, six, seven seasons. And they don't have the cameras. They don't have the coverage. They don't have, there's no sense of, okay, here's the real issue. There's no sense of occasion. They're literally telling you, this is Monday and this is football.

But you feel like you're watching a game that could be on any day, anywhere of any consequence. And it's a disaster. I think so. The real question is, are they going to make Monday Night Football into something more than an afterthought? Yeah. I think that what you're saying goes back to the NFL's relationship with NBC,

as opposed to the relationship with ESPN for like the last 10 years. So they've ESPN and the NFL have kind of been butting heads silently a little bit behind the scenes. There's more, you know, there's the new streaming rights that are going to come up soon. The new TV package deal that's going to come up soon. So I think that the NFL has been intentionally not giving ESPN the very best games and leaving that flex option open for Sunday night.

So even if it looks like it might be a bad game, they can fix it, you know? So yes, Sunday Night Football has seemed like a bigger deal for sure. I agree with you on that. And it's looking, it's not just the games, although it is the games. It's, again, it's my same issue with the Tiger Woods golf thing. It's the production. It's the quality of the announcers. It's the, it's the razzmatazz.

It's the open. It's the, do they have enough slo-mo cameras? You know, all of that stuff. And they just, it just feels like it's a literally like an ESPN2 game. So it feels like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. So who do you, have you already taped some of your podcasts?

We're going to air this right before. So who, who is going to be on? Um, our first two guests are Magic Johnson, who I've known forever. Um, and, and I was actually banned from traveling on the road with the Lakers by Pat Riley. Whoa. Yeah. Why? Well, don't you think you have to get the podcast?

Well, when is it coming out? When is it coming out? June 25th? Yeah, June 25th. Is that a what, a Monday? Yes. That's a Monday. So you got Magic Johnson and Chris Pratt will be, uh, we're debating who,

we don't know which one we're going to air first yet. That's a Thursday, June 25th. Okay. Good. Good. So it's not going to begin. Tell us just a little bit about cards. You gambled too much with them.

Yeah. What were you doing? Um, were you like a moderate or early day Alex Guerrero and you were trying to, uh, feed Magic Johnson with all kinds of junk science on how he can elongate his career? Hey, Magic rub this cobalt all over your face. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

I was, it was cobalt. No, I look, I just, I think I was a distraction. I mean, you have to understand I was, I was 22, three years old and a teen idol and you know, got followed wherever I went by, you know, crazy chicks and the lobbies were packed with all that stuff. And, and you know, Riley didn't, Riley did not want the distraction. I mean, I think maybe a fair question would be why was Rob Lowe riding the Lakers team bus all the time to begin with?

Rob Lowe. Because I was, I was a massive, massive, massive, massive Lakers fan and always wanted to go on the road when they were playing, you know, Detroit or Boston, you know, because those were such hell holes and so tough for the Lakers. Um, and you know, that was, that was my, that was my thing. I was either making movies or I was, you know, following my favorite sports teams. Do you ever close your eyes or like dream about, like, or just even think daydream about the Brat Pack days and be like, man, that was fucking awesome.

Oh, for sure. I mean, it was, uh, I, well, because my kids now are the same age I was, well, actually they're, my kids are older now than I was during the Brat Pack era. And I do look back on it and go, wait a minute, that, uh, how the hell did I even survive it? Right. Because it, you know, it was, I look at my own kids and their development and they're, look, they're smart kids and they're, you know, they're accomplished. They've graduated from big fancy schools and they're smart as shit, but I wouldn't place

them with that kind of temptation and insanity that, that you live through and, and very, you know, it's not, it doesn't happen to everybody, but like when you're that guy for that moment, it is very, very crazy, but it's also really fun. Yeah. Was there, were there any clubs in Los Angeles that you were not allowed to get into? In those days? No, they liked me in the clubs. Oh, they liked me in the clubs.

Are you kidding? Um, that was, I was, I was, I was, uh, I was good for business. Yeah. So the Lakers bus was the only place that Rob Lowe was like persona non-grandma. No, the hotel. It was the hotel. Okay. I have one question about magic that I need an answer to.

Do you have any idea how he crafts his tweets? I have a feeling that he doesn't actually physically tweet it. He just texts his thoughts to someone who then tweets it, but you know him well. Do you have any idea how the sausage gets made? Well, I'm going to ask him. The good news is, um, I'm going to, I'm going to ask him. Yeah. We could call him right now.

My, my, my phone got taken away so it wouldn't go off during this podcast. That's convenient. Okay, but look, if your phone goes off, we'll just call him. Oh, look, I'm writing right now. Magic tweets. Now I'm giving you ideas for your podcast. And I would rather you do. Yeah, come on, but can I want you guys to, to do my, my briefing prep?

Cause you're clearly better at it than I am. I would never have asked that. So you haven't interviewed him yet? No, magic is, uh, I'm interviewing him in three days. All right. You're not allowed to use that question though. Well, no, call him and ask him. Make sure that we confirm that you're going to, he's set for three days from now.

And then also be like, how do you tweet? How about this? I will text you or tweet at you. Okay. Good. And give you the answer. That's fine. That works.

Yeah. That works. That works. I think a lot of people, um, don't physically tweet. I really do. I think a lot of people, um, just have people just say, Hey, why don't you tweet this out? Right. But I'll find out.

Yes. Okay. Perfect. And then that will be a great seamless plug that we have the actual, Hey, Rob Lowe talked to magic Johnson for more with Rob Lowe and magic Johnson. Tune in on Thursday. It's going to be great. Which Laker superstar went partying with Rob Lowe and then went 0 for 32 in the finals?

Tune in on June 25th to find out. Or you could just run the stat or, or, or, or, yeah, was it James Worthy? We could run the stats. I feel like it was, um, mustache, old mustache, man. I, I'm not going to comment no matter what you say. Pau Gasol. You've got to think of the era, bro. Oh, for 32.

Oh, no, you're not. This is the problem. This is how you're going to get me because you're smart. Oh, for 32 finals, finals. It probably was the finals against, uh, the Bulls because they got four, you know, lost four one. Oh, wait, no, but that was a little past your time. Maybe in terms of when you were partying with them. Hmm.

I'm not finding it on Google right now. Shoot. Thank God. Ah, I will not tune in to find out. James Worthy. Not James Worthy, not James Worthy. Who was it? Just tell us, just tell us, just tell us, just tell us.

I know. I could tell you that. I think you're, I think you're doing a good job making this up, Rob Lowe. That was actually an incredible thing to make up because I know it's by the way, it's absolutely a true story. Um, I have a question for you. I heard Eric Roth on the podcast. Yes, yes.

Is he going to write the boner dog movie or not? Like what's happening? Yeah. Are you in it? Uh, no, I don't think we officially asked you. You've never asked me, but I'm so down. I'm fucking there. Oh, you know what, we actually haven't, uh, casted the pubes yet.

And since you dye your hair, it's always beautiful. There is. You'd be perfect for the pubes. I like that. Yeah. So he is going to write it. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. But wait a second.

It's animated. I need to, I need to run this like I run the rest of my career. I need to know who else, whatever creative elements are involved. Okay. Like who is, who's lending their voice? Who's attached? Yes. Adam Sandler.

Wait, let's do actually attached. So we have attached a couple of people that haven't actually been attached. Adam's attached. Adam's attached. Yeah. Zac Efron is attached. Great. Topher Grace.

Topher Grace is attached. Jimmy Tatro is attached. David Spade. David Spade's attached. Eric Roth is attached. Kevin Garnett is attached. Who else is it? Who are we leaving out?

Dan Patrick is attached. Dan Patrick is attached. We're attached. I think that's, that's really low is attached. All you need. Have you ever heard of Matthew low? Upcoming actor. Hat designer.

Hat designer. He's attached. Yep. He's attached. I just know that, that this is the only way I'm going to get Eric Roth to write dialogue for me. Yes. He'll do it. And it's actually a little bit more complicated because he's going to write the script

and he's going to hide it somewhere and then leave us clues. So we have, we have to find the script that he wrote. But I feel like we're clever enough to find it. And it's going to be an animated film. It's going to shoot. We're going to, we're going to tape all the voiceovers on the same island that they did firefest on. Let's go. This sounds like the greatest movie ever made.

Yeah. Oh, I have one last question. I just just popped my head. Tune in Rob Lowe with Magic Johnson. You got to run him first now. You realize that because we've hyped it up enough. But that's the plan though. Listen, the plan is absolutely to run magic magic first.

Is there. Although I'm going to have to break the news to Chris Pratt and he won't be happy. He'll be okay. But is there any part of like interviewing magic? You get a little nervous that he might just like black out for a second and thank you, Rob Polinka and be like, fuck this guy. Yeah, that's true. That's a thing.

You see, I'm so glad I did this. Ask that before I. Ask that. You maybe say a Rob Polinka quote. Like, do Rob Polinka's press conference where he blamed magic for everything and see like the, the visceral reaction that magic gives you. Well, you know, so before the season got canceled, the Lakers, they do a thing for their long time season ticket holders at the practice facility.

And Jeanie Bus, who again, I've known all of this, the Laker family forever, asked me to do this bit. So we did this bit where she came out and she said, listen, this is what we're thinking for this year. And Rob's got a lot of plans for the, for the team and he wants to talk to you about some of the players and Rob's really got a vision and blah, blah, blah. And I came out as, as Polinka and, and talked about the team and people, people did not understand what the fuck we were trying to do, but it was fun.

Not, not good enough sports fans because I get it. I love it. I love it. All right. Well, I'm excited for this podcast. I think you're going to be great at it. You have our stamp of approval. Our blessing.

Not that you needed it. Yes. But you have it. You have it now. I want it. Yeah. You can put it in like the description. We'll actually leave a five star review for you.

Please. And I assume you can get it everywhere. Like that goes without saying. Apple podcast, Spotify, Google podcast. Anywhere you get your podcast. I love it. So check it out. It is coming out June 25th.

Rob Lowe, his first interview is going to be with Magic Johnson and it is called Literally with Rob Lowe. Literally with Rob Lowe. Love it. Literally. Literally. Thank you. Thank you, Rob.

Who's the guy? Who's the guy? I just literally while we were talking, I scrolled through every NBA finals. I couldn't find it. I don't know if I feel good saying it because he went over 30. Do you know what I'm saying? I have to walk a very far. Did they lose?

They lost the finals. People are going to find out who it is, though. They lost the finals that year. Um, I believe they, you know, honestly, I don't because because the fucking eighties were awesome because the eighties were awesome. I don't remember. All right. I'm going to put that in.

Fuck it. All right. Thanks so much, man. So good. Thanks guys. You're the best. That interview with Rob Lowe is brought to you by CBD MD. What's on your Mount Flushmore of Daily Bullshit?

Is it pain, stress, zoom meetings? People leave an F send the chat. Well, no matter what you're dealing with, we can all agree. It's always good to have some support. That's where our good friends at CBD MD come in. They've got you covered with an amazing duo of topical products that give you the support that you need to conquer the day. They've got this stuff called CBD freeze with menthol.

So it's an award winning product. It offers instant cooling relief for muscles and joints. It's in a convenient and easy to use roller or a shareable squeeze tube. True story on Saturday, hopped on the Peloton was dealing with some soreness, not feeling great. I use their little roller thing for the CBD freeze with menthol, put it on my legs, put it on my calves, got on the bike, and then I beat Rory McElroy's ass on the bike. Granted, he had taken this ride and he didn't know he was competing against me

because he did it like a month ago. But still, I beat Rory McElroy for the first time. Fuck you, Rory. And it's all because- He didn't. You failed to mention that until now. Of course I failed to mention it because it looks way better if people think that- So he would just hit it a long time ago?

Yeah, but Rory's really good. And so just beating him to me. I'm going to take that as a win. I thought it was because he wasn't going hard because he was like playing or something. But that makes more sense. Yeah. Well, he know he was going hard at the time. Yeah, I just beat him.

He wasn't going hard enough. And CBDMD with Mint Hall Freeze was my secret weapon to get me there. And they've got CBD Recover. It combines CBD with inflammation fighting compounds like Arnica and Vitamin B6 to give you the support you need where it matters most. I don't know if I pronounced Arnica correctly.

They're actually using that roller stuff with the freeze. It just made me think back to when I used to use Icy Hot.

You just feel like more of an athlete when you smell a little bit like Mint Hall. And I think that also had something to do with it. It just gets you in the zone. I was just thinking this. This popped in my head. What would be the funniest statue that gets thrown into a river? The Jaguar statue that the kid got his head stuck in? That would be a very funny one.

The Ted Williams statue where he's like taking a kid's, he's stealing a child's ball cap. Yeah, Walt Disney. Walt Disney. I was saying that, I said this as a joke last week, but I thought that Dan Snyder was going to build a statue to George Marshall just so he could take that down and have that be like a big wind form. Turns out there was actually a statue of George Marshall that got taken down over the weekend. Got it.

So I'm, yeah, I'm trying to think. We got to find, we got to find the statue that like... Oh, the Cristiano Ronaldo statue. The one where he looks like a... Ronaldo should have his people take it down and be like, yeah, it's because we're canceling him. Yeah, well, because of the things he's been accused of. But the one where he looks like an emaciated seagull. Yeah.

Let's take down that statue. You know who actually I pulled down? Paul Bunyan. Paul Bunyan statue. Yeah. Why? Logging. Logging true.

Good point. Good point. All right. We got a Stay Woke and then we're going to do some Mount Rushmore PFT. You have a Stay Woke? With the Robert Griffin statue. Yes. Yeah.

He advertises for Subway. So did Jared. Yep. Pull that thing down in Waco. Yep. So yeah, Mount... We're doing Mount Flushmore right now? Are we doing Stay Woke?

No, we're doing your Stay Woke. Okay. Stay Woke, this comes to us from Cal Kuzma. So we talked last week on the show about how the NBA was going to give their players rings to monitor whether or not they were becoming symptomatic for the COVID virus. Cal Kuzma thinks that the rings are actually just tracking devices to keep tabs in their locations at all points. Aren't they?

Like isn't that... Are they admitting that? I think they are. I think the rings do have some sort of GPS all over them. When you're so woke that you just... You're just maybe reading the manual to the ring. Yeah. Like they...

Of course it's a tracking ring. They take all of your vital signs. Yeah. I love the thought of maybe Brian Winhorse just having like some... He's in a van like it's a heist. He's got this giant monitor pulled up where he's just keeping track of all the dots from the players and who's hanging. This guy's too close to LeBron.

Is it titanium rings? Because someone was tweeting at me saying that if they do like get hurt, you can't cut that off. You can't cut their finger off? You can't cut titanium. Oh, shit. So if they like break their finger below the ring. Yeah, and it swells. You can't with diamond.

Diamond cuts everything. Diamond cuts titanium? Yeah, it's like rock paper scissors shoot. So diamond cuts titanium. So who is the big diamond knife salesman that stands to gain? I think we just wrote uncut gems too. He's not actually dead. Sorry if you haven't seen it.

Shit. You gotta smash the ring with Kevin Garnett's medallion. I like that. But it did make me stay a little bit woke. You remember that picture of LeBron James staying at the end of the bench far away from his teammates? Yep. You know how all of last year he tried to trade away all the players that were next to him? Knowing what we know now about LeBron James's financial ties to the Chinese government,

do you think he got tipped off ahead of time and was like, hey, I gotta stay. I gotta stay away. I have to stay away from people so much that I'm going to try to send them all to New Orleans. That's why he sat out the entire like end of the season? Yeah. Yeah, that's too much. That's too much for your brain. Just think about it.

All right, let's do our Mount Rushmore. Mount Rushmore, a stadium pump-up songs. This is a good Mount Rushmore, Hank. Just stadium songs. Stadium songs. But do they get you pumped up? There's different situations. Okay, I don't know if that, so my pump, like getting pumped up?

Now I'm eager to hear what Hank has to say. Okay, so Hank, why don't you start and then we'll go PFT than me, and then Billy will do his four Mount Rushmore lifts at the end. So just sit back. I just think of songs when you're in a stadium or watching a game, whether it's like basketball, hockey, football, when it comes on, you get the most, I guess, pumped up, but like excited, happy, whatever. Yeah, yeah.

Okay, I think we're all on the same page. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, hey, hey, goodbye. When that song comes on, it means your team is up. Is that your first pick? It's a blowout. Yeah, I guess I'll do it as my first pick. Okay. I had that on my list.

Good one. It's great when the other team takes a picture out. Because if that song comes on, you know you're winning and you're just celebrating, having a great time taunting the opposite team together, it's always a good one. Okay, I like that one. Probably wouldn't be my first one, but it's not necessarily a pump up song, so yeah, I said it. All right, my first one, I'm going to do a sandstorm. Sandstorm always gets the crowd bouncing.

Man, what's the major college football program that you use? Is that USC, South Carolina? Virginia Tech. No, Virginia Tech does not. They do entertainment. They do entertainment. Yeah. I don't know who does.

You should know what Virginia Tech uses, Big Cat. Why? Because they get really pumped up. But I've never played them at Virginia Tech. You've never gone in their lane? I've never played them at Virginia Tech. U.S., South Carolina. Yeah, thanks.

There it is. All right, my first one, I'll go with who let the dogs out. Always get pumped up. Okay. Always get pumped up. Sing along. Always get pumped up. And then my second one, I'll go with the Zombie Nation.

The uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. Seven Nation Army. Seven Nation Army? Yeah. What is that? White stripes. Is that what it is? Yeah.

Is that the one I'm talking about? Zombie Nation. It shall henceforth be known as Zombie Nation. No, I think it's two different songs. The Zombie Nation is a different thing. Yeah. What's the Zombie Nation? Zombie Nation is like the Kencraft, like zombie.

Toot, toot, toot. All right, so I want the uh, uh, uh, one. You got Seven Nation Army. Okay. That one's good. I'm going to wait for Tom. No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, I don't. I don't.

I want the one that, wait, hold on. I got to find it in my head. Yeah, wait, wait, wait. No, no, no, no. Stop doing that. Stop doing that. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. I know what you're doing.

I don't think that's a song. I think that's just a natural chant. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah, that's the one I want. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. That's the Zombie Nation. That's the Zombie Nation. Yeah, okay, that's the Zombie.

Put me down for that one. And then, yeah. Okay. I knew I could find it. There we go, Billy. Thank you. Okay, I'm taking Seven Nation Army. If that one's becoming available, that was my second pick anyways.

So wait, did you do two? Yeah, I did. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who got the other one? Oh, oh, oh, oh. Kathy's doing it. No. No.

All right, Seven Nation Army. I mean, we should give some respect to Seven Nation Army because you do not need even the song going. Just the crowd can start chanting that and everyone joins in. Just like Zombie Nation. Is Billy going to do one of his lifts? No, he's going to do it at the end. All right, I'll go with Thunderstruck.

Good choice. And I'll go with Victory, like Puff Daddy, Biggie. The one. One, two. Okay. That's a great one. Okay. Entertainment.

I'm going to go Enter Sandman. Yes. Enter Sandman's great. The intro starts out nice and quiet. The perfect build. It gets, by the end of it, everyone's just coming to the stadium at the same time when the full song kicks in. So whether it's Virginia Tech playing it on a Thursday night

night game in Blacksburg, that's pretty intense. And then, obviously, Mariano Rivera. All right. I'll go with Welcome to the Jungle, Guns N' Roses. And yeah, that pumps you up. That pumps you up. And then I'll go with the old classic Eye of the Tiger. Always get you pumped up.

Always get you going. I have some personal ones I'll do on the honorable mention. My last one, I'm going to go We Are the Champions. After you win a significant title, hearing We Are the Champions played in the arena is always great. What I love about We Are the Champions is that even opposing arenas will play it at the end of the way that it's a seven game series.

If it's a Stanley Cup final, hypothetically, in Las Vegas, Nevada, and you win it on the road. I saw it last year in Boston when the Blues won. And it's done. It stings for the home crowd. But it's such a transcendental song that they're like, we have to show respect to Queen and Freddie Mercury and blast us.

By the way, how much money has Queen and Freddie Mercury's estate hauled in over the years? A lot. Just from every time that gets played? A lot. I mean, it's everyone. We got to write a championship song. Hank, your last pick.

Stop, Billy. Jump around. I'm shocked and made it that far. Yeah, I didn't want to do. I mean, that's the best. I mean, when that song comes on, you have no choice but to get hype. Yeah, I thought it was too personal. So I didn't want to go with the personal pieces.

I mean, they don't just play it at Wisconsin. No, I know. But that's what you think of. What do you think of Jump Around? I think a lot of people think of that. I think of Boston first. Yeah. House of Payne.

Yeah. I think like when you think of Anderson and you think of Mariana Rivera, Virginia Tech, there's definitely teams that have like specific. Well, it's synonymous with it. Yeah. But you should have picked it in your top four. OK, sorry. Wow.

OK, sorry. Wait, you guys do hang on, sleepy, sleepy, hang on, right? I'll get it. Ohio State does it. So the Ted Nugent Stranglehold, the Blackhawks play that. It's a fucking great pump up song. I like to move it. I didn't know if the Bulls intro could be counted just because that's specific,

but that one obviously is all time pump up. What else? Cotton Eye Joe, the dance remix of it. Yeah. Kyle Schwabber used to come into Thuggish, Ruggish Bone, and that's a great walk up song. That one gets you pumped up. Fire Starter by Prodigy.

Blur Song 2. Yeah. Anything else? I got the Elfield, Your Love. Yeah, that's a great one. OK. I got a punch. No, no, no, you're doing lifts.

Iron Man. You're doing lifts. You're doing lifts. Hell's bells. You're doing lifts. Go ahead. You're doing lifts. OK.

Deep, heavy squats. Ask the guys. Ask the grass, like, super anabolic. Just get your metabolism going. Get your, like, it's the best way to start a workout and then, like, do something. Oh, that's your warm-up? No, no, no.

Just, like, it's my first work set. Honestly, like, I almost want to, like, do a max squat right now, like that. Oh, got me super pumped up. But. Yeah, I did. So. Not a brad.

Deep. OK, now I killed my vibe. So, like, deep squats. And then, of course. Spilly frat ball. Hammer curls. Dude, I'm not even going to frat. Frat guys are assholes.

Go off to a school that I don't even think it's big enough to have. Dude, I went to a school with frats and I was with my buddy and we got jumped. Like, you're all, like. Sure you did nothing wrong. You fight ten on, like, two, you assholes. Sure you did nothing wrong.

The frat was actually called beta. I'm actually going to call them out. I'm not going to say where they are, but beta frat, you better get your boys. Bunch of alphas coming through. So. Billy definitely tried to, like, steal their keg and all their girlfriends.

Like, dude, what the fuck? Of, then, bicep curls. Another one, of course. Of course. Like, that's, like, a fun, like, you're lifting, like, having fun. It's a Friday, like, arm farm. So, like, just hit bicep curls

and just be an absolute douchebag. I, um. Billy, I don't like the fact that you put bicep curls in here. I know, but it's, like, a fun. I don't. I don't. That's, like, that's something

that you should make fun of. Oh, we don't have a lift today. Like, like, let's go do bicep curls in the Narpe Gym. What's the matter? You can't do pull-ups? Do pull-ups. You can't do rows?

Pulls are pretty on a ball. Yeah, why don't you do something that will bench press. Okay, we'll bench press. You gotta throw bench on there. Yeah, I gotta throw bench. And then, um, let me think. I mean, I was, I, pull-ups

would be a good one, but. No, I just took pull-ups. I know, let me think. I mean. How do you not have four, dude? I have, I, I thought skull crushers. I'm going to put my last one skull crushers. Because those, like, hit the trisand.

It's insane. It's like, when you get a sick pump, like, dude, it's like, there's no, I, like, I don't even like to work out. You hit your bicep when you do skull crushers. I just like to get the good pump. I just like, I'm addicted to the pump. If you watch Arnold Schwarzenegger,

when he's just coming, he's coming. He's coming. I'm coming. I'm coming every day. All day, I'm coming. He used to do bicep curls until he passed out. Yeah, the blood rushes to your, like, so much, you, like, that's what happens.

It's awesome. I, it's like, there's no better high than just having a sick pump. Like, this is like, let's. I actually, I don't agree, dude. I don't work out, but I agree. Just like. That pump is like, nothing better.

Dude, I might just start benching. What about deadlifts? I don't like deadlifts. I have my core, my, my torso is too long, so I always slip discs. It sucks. Yeah. I can't deadlift.

You're also kind of fat now. Yeah. Well, that proven point. I work out. Okay. You know what? A lot of people have a lot worse problems. That's why we put you on the whoop.

But like, when you take a college football player, who's doing workouts every week, four times a week, and then you just say, okay, no more. And then he has to like deal with the diet he was eating. This is what happens. Thoughts and prayers, Ben. That sounds very difficult for you. I know, a lot of people have more problems.

But like, I got fat because of Corona. The worst part about this virus that's killed 110,000 people is that I'm not getting full. My gains have somewhat lacked. My strength has gone up because I don't run. I just lift. Okay, never mind. Okay.

Too much about me. No, no, no. This is good. Yeah. You don't have anything else. I just eat too much. Yeah, you just can't stop eating. That's why they put me on the whoop for my life.

Don't go jet skiing. The only chirp me on Twitter if I'm not working out. The only thing I have a problem with with squats is that if you post a video of your squat online, your form is never good enough for the comments section. I bet I could do one right now. That's a perfect form and no one would chirp me. I guarantee you're right.

Okay, we'll do that. We'll do that after. We'll put it out, yeah. You're team Billy's squat performance. Yes, yes. All right, we do actually have one last thing. We have Phil Mushnick's article from the New York Post the other day where he's out against vulgarity.

So I'm so excited that we have this because you have to wonder, we're just talked about Billy getting fat, like the side effects of the pandemic. One of them being old white baseball writers have no outlet to get mad. Well, here's where they're at. So this feels good that we can get the anger up on something so trivial and stupid like using the F word.

I'm glad that Phil Mushnick has to go through this period with no sports because like getting his mind applied to the real ills of our society is what we've been waiting for. So here's the title. Mets P. DeLonzo part of sports growing vulgarity problem. I didn't know it was a problem. I didn't know it was growing, but here we are. All right, some wrongs are not difficult to write.

As my friend Mark Morley says, it's not rocket surgery. Okay, yeah. Mark Morley sounds hilarious. Yet and for no good reasons, we sink lower every day by pathetic design. Meanwhile, the modern marketing and TV content rationale has become it's no worse than this or it's no worse than that. What?

Okay. Where's he going with this? I'm very confused, but this is, this man needs help. What is the modern TV market getting worse than this or worse than that? I don't know. All right. But what is it even better than?

Yes, we're wondering. For example, this, you know what this sounds like? This sounds like somebody texted Phil and was like, Hey, Phil, just start a sentence off with the modern profanity crisis in sports and then let autocomplete finish the rest of your column just by clicking the thing that is being suggested to you on your phone. He is, he's writing something like this would be what would

happen if we told Billy he needs to have a column within 20 minutes and just throw this out there. Just asking weird questions, you know, asking yourself questions. All right. So, but what is it even better than? For example, the Mets and MLB seem to have no problem with the team's traditional marketing slogan.

Let's go Mets having added a vulgarity gasp now cued by young Peter Lonzo. It's L F GM. Let's oh freaking go freaking go Mets and this was really started by Tom Brady with his constant LFG. I can't believe professional athletes swear. So if he knows the F word is so vulgar and inappropriate that it must hide behind its initial.

Why use it? Why not instead lose it? I like that. Like either I actually kind of agree with that either fucking say it or don't. So have the shirts that the Mets are saying. Let's fucking go Mets. Yeah, they would sell way more of those.

Bro, you got to either own it or not. Don't give me that F. Go all the way to emphasize anything. It now seems as if you have to add or throw in the F word. Those spray paint armed quote unquote protesters. That means Phil doesn't really think they're protesting. George Soros bus ticket holders is what Phil is saying. Desecrated the outside of St. Patrick's Cathedral after all.

Couldn't stop with BLM. They stopped it with a large F and then he had a dot dot K. Frick. So it said on the church like BLF M. No, it said BLM and then somewhere else. It also said fuck. I love that. I love that Phil is rightfully focusing in on the most important part of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Listen, I was with Black Lives Matter and then they use the until they dropped some vulgarity. Now, I don't know if I understand their message. I guess that word is to prove you really, really mean it or really, really care. Or it's just fun to say, Phil. Fuck you, dude. That was fun.

Also, Phil, he's writing the like LFGM in this article, right? Is he ever saying fuck in there or is he just by writing this article, Phil Mustrick has made probably hundreds of thousands of Americans think about the word fuck. Sounds to me like Phil's part of the problem. He's absolutely part of the problem. All right. Here we go.

Here we go. We got we got some drama with the Mets pick first pick. Pete Crow Armstrong, the Mets first pick has already joined the movement. He tweeted LFGM, LFGM, T-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs, bumper stickers and even virus masks are now for sale. Reminds me of when the NFL sold framed photos of Marshawn Lynch grabbing his crotch.

Damn. Now that that is Phil just got over that. Phil's got he has like a filing cabinet of grievances. He's had in the past that he needs to bring into the modern day like the Marshawn Lynch thing. He probably is still mad about the Randy Moss fake mooning incident. If you ask me if there if there's one four letter word that

needs to be gotten rid of in order to cleanse people's eyes and ears in the world of sports, it would be Mets. Yes. Not fuck Mets. Again, it's not rocket surgery. The Mets MLB and Alonzo's and Crow Armstrong's agents can't ask them to cut it out. Question mark.

Or is it protected under the collective bargaining agreement? Now, you know, it's not. You know, it's not Phil. What would a reasonable response be to please for the sake of common public decency? Stop. Waterboarding. Well, no, he answered himself.

Go after yourself. Yes, that absolutely would be a response. Alonzo can't do better. By the time he retired, Cece Sabati, a proud family man. Oh, no, this is going to take a turn seemed unable to speak a sentence without including a string of vulgarities. I love that he added proud family man. Rob Gronkowski must have negotiated his patriot contracts

to include bonuses for cursing and speaking sexual crudities during TV interviews. Phil does not like the 69 jokes. Well, this guy is awesome. Wasn't Gronk's like brother, his agent at some point, because I could see that being written into his contract. I love this. Phil needs to exist.

We need these people to continue to exist. Weekday boomer, Seisson apparently. What? He just missed a word here. Weekday boomer, Seisson. Hmm. Is that is that like saying a Monday morning quarterback? Like a weekday boomer, Seisson is a second rate.

Morning show DJ weekday boomer, Seisson apparently thinks that crudity is the key to radio rating success. Showtime paired two of the NBA's all time worst acts. Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. I'm shocked. Phil's not a fan of those guys for no other apparent reason. Then they were great. I heard they're fucking all the smoke doesn't like having awesome.

All then for no apparent reason. Then they had earned very bad reputations and they often said mother effort and the N word on air. What's the upside for now and later? We grow coarser. That's a good thing. Freedom of expression is supposed to leave us all lower. Would Alonzo teach the kids in his life to speak vulgarities?

He can't do any better. Dad, what does the F stand for? Go ask Uncle Rob Manfred. He said kids are MLB's top priority. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. Oh, thank you the children. What a fucking column.

Yeah, how will somebody explain to my child what the F stands for? That's kind of your job as a parent. MLB has a problem trying to grow the game to younger kids. And that problem starts with LFGM. Yeah, every player should talk like Phillip Rivers. And then the world would be a much better place. I like this guy, Phil. He's a fucking idiot.

And I really mean the fucking part. Would be a shame if people said fuck to him. Fucking idiot, Phil. Mush Nick. Mush Nick, Mush Nick. Yeah. Yeah, he's a legend. Every time I see his column pop up online, it's always for the same reason,

which is this column sucks ass. But you know what? He's out there doing it. The world needs this guy. Otherwise, we have way too many people to just make sense. You're right. I agree with that 100 percent. Like we need shitty columnists.

Shitty columnists make sports more fun while they're trying to make it less fun. Right, exactly. So all right, thank you, Phil. That is our show. We will see everyone Wednesday. Anything else? Anything else? Anything else?

I had a six pack in December. No, you didn't. I did. No chance. I will show me a picture. I will show it right now. You're going to squat right now, too. OK.

All right. See everyone Wednesday. Love you guys.
