We're going to talk some NBA draft.
We're going to talk a little things we missed.
We have been a little out of pocket, so it's going to be free flowing.
Maybe not a lot of facts in this episode.
I'm just going to get us set for that.
That is a fact.
And then we're going to...
That is a fact, but it could also not be a fact.
Fact check true.
And then we're going to finish with Fire Fest and send everyone on their way closer to 4th of July.

June 27th and Hank, we did it.
It's Friday.
Let's go, boys.
You got there.
Two Fridays in one week.
What's better than that?
Two Fridays in one week.
Hank made a great point, though.
He was like, I get it mixed up because it's like show days.
Yeah.
So today would be Hank's Sunday.
Right.
And we're doing a show now.
Yeah.
It is Thursday as we're taping this,
but it's Friday as people are
listening. So that counts. We had the NBA draft. Just as a
disclaimer, I said at the beginning of the show, we have
been playing golf for the last two days, taking a lot of
content, very out of pocket. This is going to be a low fact
show, low fact show, but a lot of takes. I think we should
substitute the facts for takes.
Well, let's start with this credit to us because we were right about Cooper flag three years
ago, almost to the day. Yep. I found the clip when we basically predicted it and we said
Cooper flag will be the first white American that will get drafted in the one one overall
in the NBA three years ago. So we were first to have it. Yeah, I think
what really settled it was finding out his name was Cooper
flag. Yeah, and that he was from Maine. Yes, that's the guy
that we need to be back. Also in the clip, you did say PFD.
You called your shot for Grady Dick. So we'll just keep that
part out. What's Grady Dick up to? He's in the league. Okay.
Yeah. All right. Well, yeah, we're not, we're not far off. No,
we weren't far off. Uh, but yeah, Cooper flag goes one, one overall, uh, which we all knew was going
to happen. There was some awesome fire Nico chance going on. Also Nico Harrison is just continues to
confirm that he's a shit head and maybe an idiot because when he was talking about getting Cooper
flag one, one overall, he said, uh,
fortune favors the bold. Yeah, it's a bold move. I don't know. I, that's just, that's
just not how that quote works. He didn't, I guess he did do something bold, but that
didn't, that's not why he got the number one pick. Maybe it's talking about the lottery.
I guess he was rewarded in the lottery because he was bold enough to trade Luca. Right. Fortune
favors the bold, but I did enjoy the fire Nico chance. That was great. Yeah. I mean, congrats to the Mavericks
fans. I know nothing's going to replace having Luca, but this is a pretty good consolation
prize, right? Really worked out pretty well for you. Now this morning I tuned in to get
up. Did you get to watch get up at all? I did not watch get up this morning. You missed
out because one of the first topics should the Mavericks be favored to be the team that gives Oklahoma City a run for
its money out of the West next season? Oh wow. Cooper flag,
AD Kyrie. Think about it.
It seems like they're the next one up. Is Kyrie. He tours ACL, right?
So he's going to be out for at least a little bit. He'll be out for a little bit.
Yeah, but it's fun.
It's fun to think about.
Like, we're already shitting on the thunder.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, you got to do it instantly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was disappointing.
They took it to seven.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah, it was.
I was disappointed.
By the way, did you see Tyrese Halbert?
And poor guy.
I mean, his post was very like, it sucked, like him having
to write that all out.
But then he also had what was clearly a scheduled, uh, WWE, uh,
tweet ad that he had to post. That was sad.
That is sad. How long ago you think he scheduled that?
I don't know. He, well, not that because he did use like,
like what's happening today. He said on the upside,
my character is now available in WWE 2k 25. That's good. Go cop the Duncan destruction pack today. That's a good way to actually
make it have more interaction is to just toss something about the injury. Yeah, right. Yeah.
But that did that did that was kind of sad. I have, I have one scheduled tweet that I
put in like two years ago because I scheduled the tweets of part of my take to go out at
seven AM every morning that a show comes out out I accidentally did one for Mark Titus when he was on the show like two years ago
and I think I scheduled it for three years in advance so like next year some
random day I'm gonna post a link to part of my take featuring Mark Titus I love
that when he's not on the show I love that yeah Cooper flag by the way the ESPN
broadcast had some difficulties they they had I think it was Dylan Harper and
Ace Bailey where they were doing a pan up for their shoes. And they're like, and there's Cooper flag,
very much not Cooper flag. Well, for a second, I thought you were wrong about that take.
Yeah. It was like, wait, no, big cat said white American. Yeah. But I did see this Cooper flag
and this obviously has to be everything that he's scheduled to be. 1-1 overall, he's supposed to be really, really good.
If everything goes well for him and he signs all of his
extensions and everything, because I like to just be like,
hey, this guy's going to be incredible,
he could make close to a billion dollars in the NBA by age 32.
How does that work out?
He has a $62 million rookie deal.
And then this is all off of just like the cap right now.
So if the cap goes up even more, he then you'd get the 30% supermax, which should
be $359 million. And then he would get the 35% supermax, which would be $509 million.
No state income tax either. No state income tax. So he that would be pretty cool. That
was cool. What else did you like about the draft last night? My favorite moment was Colin
Murray Boyles. Yeah, he got drafted by the by the Raptors. He was cool. What else did you like about the draft last night? My favorite moment was calling Murray Boyles. Yeah.
So you got drafted by the by the Raptors. He was just immediately
like fuck. And then I don't know how you how you react to that.
If you're the Raptors, like the front office, do you like sit
them down? You're like, Do you hate us? Yeah. Well, at least
they could maybe work through that. Ace Bailey, like he hates
Utah. That's the funniest possible outcome for Ace Bailey. He was
pissed. Yeah. He's like, I'm not going to work out for any of
these teams. I want to go to a great city. I'm going to have a
great time in and then Utah is like, buddy, we got a seat for
you right here. Hank. There was some smoke Utah trying to trade
for Jalen Brown. Yeah, there's a lot of rumors going around.
There was some smoke. You want Ace Bailey?
I mean, we got to get some cap, some cap room.
Yeah.
Ace Bailey said going to Utah, I can control what I can control.
They feel how they feel.
But my team and me, me focusing on basketball and them doing what they're doing so it happens.
Yeah.
That doesn't feel great.
Get ready to learn swig, buddy.
Yeah, he's not uh,
I don't think he wants to be in Utah. No, I mean,
No, he definitely does not. That was what teams did he want to go to like everything was wizards He's trying to engineer himself to go to the wizards. Maybe the wizards in the nets and maybe philly
Now there's the wizards nets and pelicans wizards that by the way pelicans
Oh boy. Yep.
That was the worst trade ever.
They traded from 23 up to 13
and they gave away their unprotected first round pick next.
You're actually worse than that.
They gave, they have the bucks pick as well.
Yeah.
The pelicans, they gave whichever one is better.
Is higher, yeah.
And if the bucks trade Yanis, that could literally just be two shots at getting the one pick
Can you can you do that in other sports?
I don't think the NFL has that ability right to say like whichever pick is higher you get that one
I think I think you have to declare you might have to where it's coming from. Yeah. Yeah in the NBA
It's like there's so many things that you have to know about NBA transactions to become like knowledgeable at all about what these teams are doing, like the different exemptions,
different trade packages.
It's hard to keep up with, but I am a fan of anytime a team gets fleeced.
Yeah, that was, yeah, it was a fleecing.
This one makes no sense.
Joe Dumar is now running the Pelicans.
I don't know what he was thinking.
It's is he convinced himself the Pelicans are going to be good next year?
I don't know. Because it's not even like he went up to a top five pick. He went from 23
to 13. Yeah, the Hawks great credit to the Hawks there. I mean, the Hawks might be good
some at some point. I have a take about the NBA draft. There's too many players in attendance.
Too many players. You're setting yourself up for the bad moment where the camera's on you and you're so pissed off
about everything.
I felt like there were 10 guys
that were waiting to be drafted last night.
There were too many players in attendance.
There were way too many tears.
So many tears.
Everyone was crying.
I kinda liked the tears
cause they were mostly happy tears.
Dream come true.
I need at least a couple guys to not cry.
Ace Bailey cried cause he was going to Utah.
Yeah.
And then also the fact that they do it two nights is insane.
Yeah.
The second round being its own standalone night is nuts.
Who was the one player that was there as a fan?
I think he might have even bought a ticket.
He wasn't predicted to go in the first round.
Was it the Chinese player?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, he's the highest drafted Chinese player since not Yao,
but the guy after Yao that was a box.
Uh, yijingling. Yeah. I think that's yijingling. Yeah.
So he's the highest drafted Chinese player to go that high. He's what?
Seven foot two. Yeah. He's a monster. Uh,
but I don't think that he was there expecting to get drafted last night.
He just showed up and he was like the little sass. He was like, Hey,
yeah, pick me. He was mocked to be like the 35th. Yeah pick I think I think
Rassilla our guy Rassilla maybe had him going. He was like he's one of the guys he loves he watches ball. He watched his ball
We also had oh
We should say shout out the two college basketball powerhouses of Duke and Rutgers Rutgers
Four out of the first five picks were Duke and Rutgers players.
Huge night for Rutgers.
I feel like that would drive me nuts if I was a Rutgers fan.
I know that you can spin it and say,
well, it's a great night for Rutgers.
Like, you know, you see that you can go Rutgers to the...
If you have two of the top five picks
and you didn't make the NCAA tournament, that would devastate. Yeah. Where'd they finish in the big last year? Tenth?
Yeah, that's bad. It's bad. How is that possible? They just,
they didn't have anyone else. Like they didn't have anyone else. Yeah.
That would drive me nuts too. I liked, uh, I liked a few things last night.
VJ edge gum. Good pick by the Sixers. I think guy loves to jam it.
I love the wiz jam it. I love
the Wizards pick. I love Trey Johnson, best shooter in college basketball. Maybe him and
Knipple. But I feel like the Wizards, I was thinking about the Wizards last night because
I said that I made that comment about how it sucks the life out of you to play for the
Wizards. They need to change their name so bad. They got to go back to the bullets. I agree. I think you go back to the bullets. Day one, culture change, different mentality.
I'd agree. Your shooters again. Why can't they just be the bullets and it'd be a train
instead of bullets? That's great. Or a blender. Yeah. Yeah. Do you have no idea or a whiskey?
Isn't there a bullet whiskey or something? Yes, there is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just keep it. Keep it ambiguous. Yeah, so much cooler if it's the bullets. But yeah, I love Trey Johnson. I think that was a great pick. What did you guys think about? So the Bulls picked Noah Essenday from France. That's our that's just our Wemby bait for a couple years from now. Very smart move. What do you think though? He left his team who's currently in the playoffs. Don't love that. I feel like he's got to
get ready for the play in though this year. He's going to be a
play. I mean, he's got to be a playing guy. So with the bulls
with the format like in France, I don't know. I think they're
obviously really champion. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Oh,
it's the Euro League championship. I think so. Yeah.
I don't love that. Yeah. I mean, it's a very French thing to do. Yeah. I don't really care.
If he's good. He's good. If he's bad, he's bad. I think we're
still had him pretty high up to. Yeah, that's that's my entire
take. If he's good, he's good. If he's bad, he's bad. And if
he's good, and if he's good, that's good for you. Yeah. He
was a steal the draft according to my mock draft, which was me
just basically pulling up my
phone right before the bulls pick seeing it and being like, steal the draft. Yeah. Fleeced.
Also, one other data point about Trey Johnson, the outfit that he wore. Love it. What was the
shorts? Oh, he wore a suit. It was a shorts or was it Caprice? No, shorts. It was full shorts.
It was like Angus Young the squeezy
He's like an AC DC guy. Okay
But it was a it was a great look love the fashion at the draft last night
Um, I also wrote down I'm pretty sure the Nets just picked like the same player over and over is that
They picked a bunch of
Like wings that can't shoot. Yeah, so that was smart. And we had the clip of Joe Tsai standing in the middle
of the Nets war room looking for a high five
and no one even thinking about giving him a high five.
It was great.
You can't have that as an owner, you have to,
sorry, governor, as a governor,
you have to have an established,
I'm going to you for a high five guy.
Either that or just be comfortable not getting a high five.
Just keep your hands in your pockets.
Be in the corner sitting down with like a cigar
in your hand looking like a governor,
looking like an owner and just look around the room
and be like, good job, good job, good job everybody.
Thumbs up.
But yeah, to be standing in the middle of the room
like looking for a friend, that doesn't speak highly of them.
I also wrote down that I think the future of the room, like looking for a friend that doesn't speak highly of them. Uh, I also wrote down that, uh, I think the future of Duke hate is just rest in the
canipal family because seeing all the brothers lined up, I was like, when these guys, when we
get to the third canipal at Duke, it's going to be on. Yeah. Did you see the, the, uh,
highlight package they put together? It is going to be on of all the canipal,
like the dads and the uncles. Yeah. Playing
basketball back in the 90s. Yeah, they they look like a Duke
basketball team. Yeah, it was crazy. But yes, you're right.
Like it's it's very valuable to have generations and and like
siblings that come one right after the other. So you
continue that same hate you had for the first guy. Right. For
up to a decade. Right. Right right right so they they hold the future of
the whole duke hate in their hands I think they can do it we're gonna say
memes all their names start with K oh yeah third one would oh would start all
the hate that was worth a laugh that I didn't I didn't deserve the laugh but
the laugh was warranted once they get once again they when they do KK and
then they get to the third
K, then the hates gonna go crazy. Yeah, it's gonna be nuts.
Good job. They also had Cedric coward got drafted last night.
Yeah, I called him Colin coward. Yep. On the broadcast. That was
fun. That was very fun. This is some high level draft talk we're
doing. Yes. What do you got for us? Nothing. Zach, what do you
got for us? No matter. I think I would no matter where you get drafted
It's an insane plate or position to be in to be like I don't want to go there
Yeah, I go I hate getting drafted in the NBA draft. Yeah. Yeah, what a problem to have to be bummed out, right?
On draft night. Oh, no generational wealth for me my family. Yeah, I agree
Also, Jay Billis might be addicted to saying 3andd. Yeah addicted to it. It was a problem
That's very disgenuous of you. I counted eight times that he said 3andd within the span of 45 minutes. Yeah, Jay bills
What a great interview. Mm-hmm
What a great interview I
Great is he a better analyst than he is a person. Oh
That's a close one.
That is close.
I don't know.
I'll say toss up. We'll figure it out later.
We will have him back on.
All right.
Any other draft stuff?
That's about it for me.
That's about it.
I pretty much emptied the clip.
Also, I don't like the way they do trades. Yeah. They don't get,
let you wear the hat. Yeah. The way they do the trades,
it doesn't make any sense at all because Adam Silver takes like 30 minutes to go
up and tell us about a trade that we already knew about.
You got guys wearing the wrong hat on stage on draft night. It was just,
I don't know. I felt like it was beneath the NBA to have that. Yeah. Oh, uh,
Cooper flag did say he can't wait to face Jason Tatum. Yep. You not
know? Yep. He will. But does he not know about this year?
Eventually. Okay. Okay. But this year? No. Cooper flag also
said that Jason Tate was his favorite player growing up,
which
is like 27 years old. That's crazy. 19. He want to feel old. Jason Tatum is like 27 years old.
That's crazy.
He's 18.
I think he's one day younger than when LeBron got drafted.
He reclassified.
It was Malawak, right, that wore the rocket hat?
No, he was 10 days older. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, there's going to be a picture that you're going to look back on for the rest of his career.
Draft night, and people are going to be like, what the fuck? It's it's like first episode of Sopranos where they had satrials named something different
Yeah, and the pilot
the the other and Viv
Yeah from the first season of Fresh Prince, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, we just switched on we switched
Three seasons in they did. Yeah and
That's fucked up.
You just pretend like everything's the same, yeah.
Good fact check.
You know for sure it was three seasons?
Two or three, yeah.
Oh.
I don't, it was after.
It was like they established Anviv.
Zach is furious.
And then all of a sudden they just came in
to a new season.
It was like, this is your new Anviv.
Yeah.
What the hell?
I'm going to say three.
OK, we'll talk some other stuff before we do that.
Mountain Dew, you see it right here.
We love Mountain Dew.
It's the start of golf season.
It's the start of summer season.
Grab a Dew.
It's warm weather.
It's delicious.
Summer in Chicago is finally in full swing.
I'm going to grab one right now. Look, we got everything to look
forward to. We got baseball, we got golf, we got lake days, we
got backyard barbecue days. And you know what goes great with
it? A delicious Mountain Dew. So nothing goes better with let's
say backyard barbecue and hanging with your friends and
the refreshing citrusy kick of Mountain Dew. Were you
going to say golf? No, I got to update. Nothing is better than these delicious Mountain Dews. They
also have the new cans, which are nostalgia in a can. I see them all around the office and I stop
in my tracks. I'm like, I got to have a Mountain Dew.. I gotta do the dew. So grab a Dew in the new packaging and enjoy the refreshing citrus kick of Mountain Dew. We also have
Barstool Camp coming up later on this summer. Mountain Dew will be there. We'll be drinking
Mountain Dew all week long when we go to Barstool Camp. I'm very excited for that. Nothing is
better, more refreshing than the citrusy kick of a Mountain Dew in the summertime.
So grab a Dew in the new packaging
and enjoy the refreshing citrus kick of Mountain Dew.
Okay, what'd you got the update?
After the third season, AntViv was replaced.
Oh, so you nailed it.
Yeah.
Dude, way to go.
Thanks.
Nice work, Hank.
That was fucking huge.
It's like they replaced Joe Biden
with a new guy after one year. Yeah, his ears were way different.
Ears were so they were way different. We replaced Hank after two episodes.
Put the new Hank. Okay, what else we got going on in the world?
Some baseball news. Yeah, we got a new maybe potential face of the league. Okay, new pitcher.
Mizorowski. Oh, yeah, for the Brewers. For the Brewers.
So sick.
He faced off against Skeens.
He threw 19 pitches that were over 100 miles per hour.
Skeens threw one.
Oh, not a great look for Skeens.
Old man Skeens.
Old man Skeens.
Yeah.
Okay.
That was good.
That's it.
I liked that update.
That was a fucking good update.
That's a name that we should know though.
Oh, I got a baseball trivia thing that I just saw randomly.
I think it's a week old, but it's pretty cool.
Did you know that the Tampa Bay Rays, it was last week,
they finally reached the same amount
of intentional walks as Barry Bonds.
That's crazy.
As an organization.
I know we've been tracking that.
Yeah.
That is insane to think about.
Yeah.
Barry Bonds also getting a statue in San Francisco,
which he deserves. How big's the head gonna be?
Ah, it's got to be enormous. It should just be his head. It should be like it should be like the city field
Apple yes, it just coming every time they hit a home run. He comes out
Yeah, oh that would be awesome of just a big balko bottle that would rock pops up and down
Yeah, I've got a Colorado Rockies update. Oh, yeah, I saw this
So the Colorado we've given a lot of shit to their
owner, Dick Monfort. Piece of shit. But it sounds like maybe
he's been listening to us. Okay. And he's determined to turn
the team around, make good decisions, take some matters
out of his own hands. And he promoted his oldest son to be
chief operating officer. That guy will be good at it, right?
Yeah. So that guy's gonna be good. Yeah. So
they're, they're, they've listened to you. They're not
content to, to mire away in the slums of mediocrity. They're
gonna fix out by just having his son do all the things he was
gonna do. We've heard you. We were disappointed as well. And
now our my son, my fail son is going to be running the show.
We're the worst team in Major League Baseball history.
I know it can cure this.
Big dose of nepotism.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so fuck the Monforts, fuck Dick Monfort.
They suck.
I had, oh, Deontay Johnson, this was just a funny quote.
He said that he did ask out of that game.
Remember that game?
Yeah.
Where he didn't go back in because he was ice cold.
Yeah.
It was 41 degrees. Yep. And now he was ice cold. Yeah, it was 41 degrees
Yep, and now he plays in Cleveland. He had the weirdest career of anybody
Maybe it's still going through the NFL still going without a doubt. I think the weirdest season last year
Yes, that was a very weird season
I had alright so the last thing I had before we can get to our Mount Rushmore and an awesome interview with Yans and
Whitney we they told some very, very funny stories. I
had an embrace debate that our good friend Tom Frinelli texted me. I think he found this
online but do you think Tiger Woods career would be the same if he was named Panther
irons?
Panther irons. I think you would I think you would have gotten
caught for the sex stuff way early I do too if he was panther that's a sex pest
name yes it is what do you think Zach yeah I don't think he has the same
career yeah no I think but what if he gets caught for it early on and then
he's like hey you got me guys yeah I'm a sexual deviant I'm gonna be I'm gonna
let my freak flag fly and I'm just sexual deviant. I'm gonna be I'm gonna let my freak flag fly
And I'm just gonna go and keep being awesome at golf
I think that there's a chance that Panther irons that that almost sounds so over the top that it could come around the other
Side and be a Mormon guy's name true, right? Well, you might be abstinent stay on the sex
Deviant thing what if he just so if Tiger Woods gets outed or sorry if Panther irons gets outed as a sex deviant
very early in his career is there a chance Panther irons just is like now that everyone
knows I'm just gonna lean into just being a guy who sucks and fucks all the time and
I'm not gonna try to cosplay as a Navy SEAL and then his back doesn't get hurt there's
a chance yeah for sure a big time sliding moment. I think if he's Panther Irons, I still think he gets one.
I think I think he gets one. He gets one major.
I think he gets a couple. He doesn't get the the amount.
Well, not the Panther slam.
No, no.
Panther Irons though. That's pretty good.
The Panther fist bump.
What if his name was Cheetah Driver? Yes. Oh yeah. That's Cheetah Slam. Cheetah
Cheetah Slam would for sure happen. Lion putter. Lion
putter. Yeah, I think he might be better actually. Um I saw
oh I did see I know we talked about it
on Wednesday's show, but Taylor Swift doing a full
like private concert at TU was crazy.
Insane.
Yeah.
And we would have probably been,
PFT probably would have been playing guitar with her.
We would have done Freebird.
Yeah.
I just wish we had had the opportunity to just be told,
no, you're not allowed.
Yeah.
I think they would have been so funny.
They're like, yeah, here's a ticket in the very back row. Yeah. No access anywhere else.
Yeah please don't look at the stage. I think they were like listen we can't
bring the PMT guys around she's gonna fall in love with Max. Yeah. We can't have
that strong Italian boy. The Philly connection. That's facts. That's facts. I've got a
soccer update. Oh this will be interesting. Mbappe is
suing PSG. Still 19. Paris Saint-Germain. Yeah, him
actually. Mbappe was probably Cooper Flags favorite soccer player growing up. That's true. So Mbappe is like suing them I
think for $60 million. Okay, and unpaid wages. And he also
claims that PSG lofted him. Do you know what lofting means?
No. So it's a word trying to get the ball higher. Yeah, there you also claims that PSG lofted him. Do you know what lofting means?
No. So it's a word trying to get the ball higher. Yeah, there
you go. It's a word that's used in France to describe a
practice way to go Hank that involves isolating or leaving a
player out from the main squad for sporting administrative or
disciplinary reasons. Sounds like his teammates at hang his
teammate just ditched him. Wait, is it is
Lofting just it's a doghouse
Yeah, he was a doghouse, but also from his teammates. So it sounds like Hank might be right. He might be a bad hang
You might he might be suing PSG for being a loser
Yeah
Wait, this is so lofting so you can do that just ice him out
I would have made so much money in middle school Wait, this is so lofting. So you can do that? Just ice him out.
I would have made so much money in middle school.
Yeah, just getting iced out and just be like,
I'm suing you for not talking to me?
Yeah.
That rules.
Yeah.
Lofting.
That was talking soccer.
You don't like it, Hank?
It's crazy to sue for being bad at it.
For being bullied.
Yeah.
Like if I were him, I would not wanna make
that public record.
No, yeah, you're basically like, I'm a loser and would not I would not want to make that public record. No, yeah, you're
basically like I'm a loser. No one likes me. I'm suing for it.
But that also would be such a loser move to do that he's
confirmed his lawsuit actually should be thrown out
immediately. Because if you sue for lofting, you're actually
immediately saying this is why I got lofted. Yes, I'm a guy who
sues for loft exhibit a is the lawsuit. Correct. Yeah, that's that's the test. So yeah,
he he failed it. Do you have anything Zach sports world?
Anything on your mind? I got nothing that comes to mind.
Great second. I apologize for that. No, no, that's fine. You
don't have to apologize. Why would you apologize? Fair. Yeah,
okay. Good. Good. Good talk there. Oh
I quite also Ran a simulated NBA Finals run, which I feel like is just gonna get him hurt
What is that?
He kept on training like he was still in the playoffs all the way through the NBA Finals
So he could see if his body could hold up got it. I feel like that was so stupid
Was he play he was playing like games on game nights
He must have been playing games or simulating
the physical toll of that full NBA finals run.
Was it on 2K or in real life?
I don't know, but that doesn't seem like a good idea
for a guy who gets hurt all the time.
No, it doesn't at all.
Also, we have it's like the first leaf falls.
It's like the sign of falls here.
The Masters commercial is a sign of spring.
We have the first sign of summer,
and it's Ben Simmons in a wide open gym hitting threes.
He looked good.
He looked so good.
He looked good, he had like four in a row.
That literally means summer is here.
I think he's fixed, yeah.
I saw somebody say, if you get the hat trick
of Ben Simmons shooting in a gym with nobody guarding him,
Zion working out, and then Luca working out out all on Instagram on the same day.
I don't even think you need Luca working out. I think you Luca,
just having a picture, he doesn't look fat or even just a skinny picture of Luca,
a report. Like Luca has been in the gym.
One skinny picture of Luca and all those other, those other two. It's yeah.
Yeah. Ben Simmons, it is like clockwork yeah he does this all the time and we fall for
it yeah every well I'm not falling for it I'm just more like hey nice summers
here I'm falling for it yeah he's gonna be good man it is I am watching it again
right now and I'm kind of falling for it they're not you know I dude he I've um
this video is 45 seconds in he has not missed a shot would you you would want
him on the Wizards fixed he's fixed you would want him on the Wizards fixed
He's fixed. I want him on the Wizards. I
Think what I think that culture fit would be perfect for Ben Simmons. Actually, I want him on the balls
I would want to be interesting to talk about it and make fun of him
I would want him on the Wizards for like a week. So I can be like interesting and forever
No, but I would make fun of him bear like no one even like he wasn't making about we're making fun of
right now I
Get I guess I would want him on the Wizards just for practice
It's this were any others like if we had it there's just nothing to talk about so we got to talk about Ben Simmons
Shoot it like yeah, no shit. I know but that's just what I'm saying like Ben Simmons the credit of being
I know but that's just what I'm saying like Ben Simmons the credit of being
Notable Ben Simmons bad guy the bad guy. All right. Well, let's get to our Mount Rushmore We have Mount Rushmore of guys. We'd like to punch in the face PFT. You can do an ad before we do that
That was a great sports round. Yeah, that was awesome. And the Pacers did not draft Caitlin Clark. Yeah. Well, they still have another chance
That's right tonight. Yeah. Yeah
Stay tuned choose your own adventure. Did did did Caitlin
Clark get drafted? Okay. Okay. Caitlin Clark got drafted by the
Pacers tonight. What's your reaction?
Gonna sell a lot of tickets gonna get a lot of takes. It's
gonna be good for the good for sports programs. Max. Yeah, no,
I think that it's gonna be a huge night in sports when
Caitlin Clark gets drafted.
I'm going to yes.
Big Cat says yes, good for the league.
I don't know if you can hear that.
Before we get to Mount Rushmore,
brought to you by Mountain Dew,
nothing better than an ice cold Mountain Dew
in the summertime.
Hanging with friends during warm weather,
it's golf season, out on the course.
I had a Mountain Dew on the course today.
Step my game up.
Nothing better than drinking Mountain Dew on a boat. If you're going to
a lake, go into a river, hanging in the park, going to a ball game, goes great
with a hot dog. Nothing goes better with summer than Mountain Dew. The refreshing
citrusy kick of Mountain Dew and the labels on the bottles and cans look
incredible. Go check them out for yourself. I think the Mountain Dew tastes
better out of these labels, too.
Didn't know it was possible, but it does.
Grab a Dew in the new packaging and enjoy the refreshing citrusy kick.
And now, here's Mount Rushmore.
OK, Mount Rushmore time.
We're doing the Mount Rushmore of guys you want to punch in the face.
Standings, Hank and PFD won the first one.
Nice work, Hank. Memes in Max face. Standings, Hank and PFD won the first one. Nice work, Hank.
Memes and Max second, Zach and I in third.
We gotta get better, Zach.
It's time to rally.
We're good.
It's time to rally.
I also just wanna say Lisa Ann, Rochelle Ryan,
I apologize you weren't seen by one Max Delente
who hates MILFs.
We're gonna move on.
But those women, those women are,
well they're not actually mothers.
They play mothers.
But they're not actually mothers.
But they play mothers, so that,
we feel they should be seen.
And we want them to be seen.
Zach, the ruling was the ruling.
Zach, were you expecting first place?
Were you confident?
No, we fell off at the end, magic was a bad pick.
Monday Night Football, huge miss. Yeah, you can never expect
things, but I feel like we came with a strong strong Mount
Rushmore. But as far as the milk debacle, I just want to
let me know that you guys have no respect for milfs. Yeah, we
thank you. It's a long season. It's a long. It's a long. We
petered out. We came out strong and we petered out. Milfs kind
of fucked us up. We were just thinking about milfs the whole time. I think we did a fist pound in my office when we're like mills. Yeah, there was.
Okay. All right. Who's up first? We're up first. I'm in the pilot seat today. I'm co-pilot.
One one. We're going to go with guy who cuts you in line.
Okay. Line cutters. Good pick. Nothing nothing
will get the rage your blood boiling quicker than standing
in line, which you already don't want to be doing. And then some
asshole just takes it upon themselves to just cut you or
like, clearly they weren't there and they go stand up with one of
their friends and there's in front of you. Anybody here speak
up guy? When you see a line cutter. I'm more of like a try
and get the person behind me to speak up. Yeah. Like if someone else says something,
it's like, can you believe this? I know that's a good call. I'll either try to get
somebody else to speak up or I'll make like a very sarcastic, loud comment.
Like I'm talking to somebody else. Yeah. You know, yeah. And then hope that they
get the idea. They usually stay in the line, but I hope that they feel worse
about it. It's a, it's almost worse. I feel like I haven't had a line cutter in a long time.
I feel like maybe this is gonna,
you know what, I'm not gonna say it.
I think there's women that do it a lot more
and they think they can just get away with it.
I feel like I've been cut by women more
and it's just like, they know that like,
nothing's gonna happen.
Nothing should happen, but they should not cut.
And it's hypothetical.
They should get punched in the face.
You're putting a woman.
Line. No, okay.
That's a good guy.
You want to punch in the face.
Yes, guys.
You want to punch in the face.
I hold the door for when I let them in first.
Yeah, they don't have to cut around me.
Absolutely.
Okay.
Good pick.
Thank you.
Great pick.
Great pick.
Thank you.
All right. Memes? Memes? Memes? No, we were second last time. Oh, so you guys weren't first? No, we were second. We're second. You're second. You're
second. We're third. All right, Zach. Time for us to go. What should we do? Do you think
we go 1 one? Exactly.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know how this is going to play because
people are going to be like, oh, like, well, he's not alive
anymore.
But yeah, let's do it.
We would we would love to punch Hitler in the face.
We would fucking love to punch Hitler in the face.
He probably deserved he's probably a guy who if he got
punched in the face, like got a good beating when he was like
15 years old, maybe he would have just not been a a dick I would rather punch Hitler's art teacher in the face
that's who give him a better grade yeah the world would be a better place I'd
like to punch Hitler in the face I'd like to shoot him in the sack you would
also like to punch him in the face I second that Hitler should have got a
punch in his face yeah yeah yeah okay could have saved a lot of people he also
didn't kill Hitler though, that's true All right
11 is gonna be people three one three our our one one one three people who are rude to service workers
Oh, we had on the list good pick good pick
Good pick and then follow that up recurring guest
Martin Shkreli
Good one good. Good pick. Good pick. Yeah. That's a
good pick. I love how we could pick anybody in the world and
all of a sudden, Bart Screlli. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Um, okay. I
think is he on site? Like if we as a podcast run into Martin
Screlli, I know that we can like suit or whatever. We have to
jail. We'd have to. I think we have to punch him
Yeah, all right, Zach. I'm gonna go with ten here. I think this is a good one
You like that one? Yeah, and it's wrong. Yeah strong. All right, we're gonna go with
Adult autograph seekers that cut in front of children. Mm-hmm. They need to be punched in the face like badly
That's that those are the type of guys and they probably would sue you because they feel like those that's their dream
Yeah, like I'm suing don't touch me. Don't touch me
Yeah, business plan number one is to try to get like Joe Montana to autograph a football for him
Yep, backup business plan is get punched in the face by somebody who has money. Yep agreed. Okay, if it's Joe Montana
That's actually the best case scenario. Absolutely. Okay, you guys are up. We're up
Kind of recurring guests not
technically officially I know this is uh well yeah it's pretty there's only a few
people that fit in that category would be fun Darren Ravel yeah yep does he fit
into that same category he would also yes so yeah he would so for sure uh-huh
for sure absolutely so if you try to fight him in a rough around he didn't
you know that sure I did I'm still anytime anywhere with Darren Ravelle
But he wanted a million dollars guaranteed. Yeah
And then our next pick we're gonna go with the lemu emu. Yeah, fuck that lemu lemu
You sucks lemu lemu does suck most annoying commercial of all time comes on
You're like I wish this fucking emos in my living room
Yeah, punch it in the dog needs to stand up for himself. Yeah, Doug gets dragged. Yeah, he does
Okay
Where you want to go here Zack? I think I
Think going with that last one or the second last one. I actually sent you which is a personal one
But I think would would play for for this room
I think I think we'd all like
to do that I think we can go there all right yeah I wouldn't mind punching John
skipper in the face he did he did some shit to us kind of just skirted away
from that it wouldn't be the first bloody nose you ever got that's facts
that's facts that's facts so yeah that's our third pick it's a very respectable
pick and I hope that I hope you get the chance one day yeah's our third pick. It's a very respectable pick. And I hope that I hope you get the chance one day.
Yeah.
For our third pick, we are going to go with people who drive on the median in traffic.
Okay.
Good pick.
Okay.
Good pick.
Not the shoulder, the median.
So when you see Francis, do you like go up and think of her service?
Yes.
He said median.
Yeah.
He said median.
I mean, this is a semantics game, but okay.
Okay.
I'll let you guys have shoulder shoulder, but it's not me.
It's up to everybody else.
I mean, I think, yeah, you said median, but yeah, I mean, I would give it to you.
We met shoulder, but that, but that's fine.
I would give it to you if I could yeah, but it's up to everybody
So it's not up to me
I'm like Ron Bernadette. It was it was written out as median traffic. Oh
Okay, who wrote it? So it's the median
You wrote me. I wrote it. I wrote it. Is it median the shoulder you wrote?
I mean the median is the median is like the middle of the... The middle.
The middle.
The middle.
The shoulder is what everyone in this room knew what we were talking about.
No, I thought median.
But we can go...
We can do the semantics round and go median.
I was ready to give it to you, but then when Meme says it's written as median, you guys
meant median.
Mm-hmm.
I can't help that you guys don't know words.
Sure.
It even starts... Sure, sure.
This is how this season of Mountain Rushmore is going to go.
So this is how we're going to do it.
Who was vetoing?
But who out of the vetoing votes start?
You were also the first person that brought up that MILFs are moms.
I'm just making points.
I just made the one who fought it.
MILFs are moms.
I just think that I would expect Max to know
the word that starts with medium.
Decide this for us
What is what is the median of a road mean that just is not the question? That's just not ask the question
If you were to say that you don't like people that drive in the median
Would you assume that they were taught that they misspoke and they were talking about people who drive on the shoulder talking the mic
In traffic. Yes. Thank you. Okay, all right, well there's the ruling.
All right.
We're coming down to dinner in a minute.
We're just wrapping up.
That was good.
Ryan Whitney, you'll hear him in a second.
All right, last pick.
Someone who FaceTimes or talks on speakerphone
on the train.
Okay, good one.
That's bad.
Good one.
All right, I think our last pick,
I'll tell a story behind it, Zach.
This is where I think Zach and I hopefully
will be strong as a team because I'm old,
he's a little younger, and what was the first,
I think the first person I said to you was,
do you remember what I said?
I was like, who is that YouTuber?
Dordie.
Yeah, so Jack Dordie's our pick.
Because that guy needs to get punched so fucking bad.
I don't really consume his work,
I just see him on Twitter and I hate him.
And he, yeah.
There's no good part to him.
Yeah, and he goes around with his bodyguards
like fucking with people,
and then his bodyguards step in for him.
He needs to be punched in the face.
We had it on the list.
Yeah.
We had it, like, he's,
as far as internet people go, he's one way.
Yeah, and I said it to Zach, and I was just like, yeah, who's that YouTuber? Instantly he's like, as like internet people go he's one. Yeah, and I said that I said it's exact and I was just like
Yeah, who's that youtuber instantly? He's like Jack Dougherty that guy's bodyguards. They they do a bad service for bodyguards
Yeah, you should not work for him as a bodyguard. Yeah
Our last pick we're gonna go
Kind of similar to Ravella just to be fun to hear the sound and then see the reaction although you probably get sued as well
Elon Musk, ooh Good punch be a fun. hear the sound and see the reaction although you probably get sued as well. Elon Musk. Ooh,
good punch.
Be fun just the sound.
And Hank has been anti Elon since like 2017.
I didn't know you guys were lib cocks.
2017. That's when he was a lib.
Is that true? Yeah, I never had too strong opinion on Elon.
Yeah, no, you call him a dork.
If you just said he was the fourth most person you would
be fun to punch.
Yeah, he's you come in Dork if you just said he was the fourth most person you would be fun to punch him Yeah, he's on your mouth. Yeah
All right, what do we miss fun to punch? Um, I'm well, I guess I should have tried we it was contentious
It was already too contentious. I just would have got more contentious. But what if I said Casey Anthony?
Mm-hmm
Yeah, yeah bad people unless we had like Osama bin Laden. He did flow from progressive. Yeah. Yeah. Hater.
When you said the email Vimu, I think that's what came my head.
Wait, was flow the ones? No, that's the AT&T girl.
Yeah, no. No, no.
Are you talking about Lily? Lily from AT&T.
Nothing worse than her.
So when we did this list, Hank very helpfully sends out a notes document.
It's the definition of share getting a snowball going. So, so Hank sent out the notes
document and uh, it's, it's labeled guys you want to beat
up and it only had three people on it and it had three people on
it for probably about two hours because I was uploading my ideas
to it and all Hank had was Hitler school principal and
Darth Vader. I love it. School principal, I think that's a good pick.
Just get it going.
Yeah, no.
Everyone hates it.
Who likes their school principal?
No one.
Listen, we got ours going and Zach's,
couple of his first ones were,
guy who talks too loud in movies, that was a good one.
Guys who drive slingshots.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, I don't like the slingshots.
And then Joe Biden and Bill Clinton.
Yeah, Bill Clinton probably should get punched in the face. Yeah. Bill Clinton price. You can punch. Yeah.
Yeah, there's always one guy that shows up training camp on
the slingshot. Yeah. For NFL season. It's like, what are you
doing, man? Also, Zach, my favorite one that I think was
pretty niche. You want to say it? The I assume that's a call
of duty thing. Oh yeah. Guys who use aim bot, they fuck all
those guys. I'll say it's a good pick. He said it to me. I was like, I don't know what this is, but I'm putting it on the honorable mentions
I don't stand on a lot, but I'll stand on that. Yeah, we had honorable mentions Kanye
We're gonna as well. Okay, yeah, I'm there Jaden Smith. Yeah, Aaron Boone. Okay. I think everybody even Yankees fans would put them on that
Yeah Aaron Boone. Okay. I think everybody even Yankees fans would put him on that. Yeah
Keith Olbermann. Okay. Yeah good one Jackson Mahomes. Okay, James Corden. Yeah, MGK
Carson Wentz. I look kind of like MGK. I like him too. Yeah, it'd be fun to punch. Yeah. Okay. All right Originally originally there was one point it was guys like I think the wording was guys want to beat up
So I'd kabeib on there just cuz like it'd be awesome to say you could beat
up Khabib but I don't necessarily wanted to punch him in the face. Yeah we have so
some of the other guys that we had we had Gadel, Sandusky.
Gadel's a good one. Yeah Osama Bin Laden, Putin, King Joffrey. We Yeah, to punch him. Uh, you got Draco Malfoy.
Yeah, we had, uh, let's see.
Oh, blooper.
Mm.
Love the version.
Great one.
Brandon Walker.
Good.
That was a big, um,
Brandon Walker.
We go, Oh, why?
Why are we?
Why are we squabbling?
Uh, Jose can say God put on the list, but Billy already did that for us.
Take care of it.
Yeah. Um, also Harto bicycle bicyclists. Jose can say go I put on list but Billy already did that for us care of it. Yeah
Also harto bicycle bicyclists
Like the guys who like don't follow the rule like they're dressed like Lance Armstrong. They don't follow the stop sign rules They don't follow like traffic light and then they get mad at you. Yeah, they yell at you as they're going through the intersection
Yeah, those guys are I I mean remember?
Sean Avery used to do videos in New York City where he would just like get in fights with every bicyclist who would put
Their bike in the middle of sidewalk and I just loved those videos
You know what? I realized though a lot of that it's we're used to seeing that from like the cars point of view
Yeah, but when bicyclists put videos out of
Pedestrians walking into the bike lane. I feel the same way about pedestrians as I do about bicyclists. Yeah when I'm in a car
Yeah, I'm like those fucking idiots
Yeah, that's a fact. Yeah, that's absolutely a fact
What else any others we had well me and Max's brains weren't really working. So I threw out Stephen Hawking. Oh
That's a great pick. I like that. That's a great
People forget that Stephen Hawking left his wife when he was a vegetable.
He's like a huge piece of shit.
He cheated on his wife as a vegetable.
He was a sexual deviant.
And you could just tee off on him.
He also died seven years ago.
Yeah, they had Hitler.
Remember, didn't Jerry Sandusky, not Jerry, Jeffrey Epstein built a special submarine for Stephen Hawking.
Did he? Yeah. No, wait, Jeffrey Epstein did
Yeah, they're boys. Oh, yeah. We have Jeffrey Epstein on the Jeffery Epstein is a product. What do you guys think about Zuckerberg?
Punch him too. Yeah be kind of fun
I actually thought about the dude that played Zuckerberg and in the movie like he's a good actor. He's a good actor
But like not Michael Sarah Eisenberg. Yeah great actor. No, no personal beef with him. I think he's good. He's a great actor
I just like he's got a punchable face. Yeah, are we at Tony? I think it's more just probably the characters
But you have to be doing it like in the middle of a I don't know Jim boom
Because I don't really hate him. Otherwise. Oh, sorry the the guy who replaced Adam Richmond on man vs. Food. Oh
Yeah, we that came up on the TV. Yes, sir. I had no idea that happened. Yes, I'm talking about it
Literally since since it came up. He's been talking about how he hates
And you get not Richmond
pissed off would be brutal and it was like one of those marathons and they and we were like working and it just kept coming on
Yeah, and he was getting angrier and angrier
Yeah, like we like the next day at breakfast. He would be like, how about that fucking guy who thinks he could be at?
I think I would like to punch how we Mandela in the face, too
Yeah, no real reason. Yeah, he's Blutman's godfather. Yeah. Yeah, I know real reason. Listen, we're just throwing these out
Yeah, you think about maybe putting mr. Bing bong on there not Jerry O'Connell
out there you think about maybe putting mr. Bing bong on there not Jerry O'Connell but mr. Bing bong who yeah yes yeah yeah I would have loved to stand up and
fucking punch him in the face and that would have that would have been
fantastic yeah what about co-workers oh yeah Hank had his memes had his boss
Nikki smokes you're his boss no I mean his boss memes I might promote you to
his Hank would have played on the graphic.
Stephen Che from time to time.
Yeah.
I don't think he'd get that upset.
No, he'd be like, what did I do?
Cool punch buddy.
What did I do to it?
I did something.
Yeah.
Do you guys have any other coworkers?
Sometimes Hank, but usually not.
Shane, memes have Shane.
Oh yeah. I just wanted to put Shane in there memes has all of us on
Yeah, correct. Well, he's just not saying it
No, no, I like yes. I like you guys you you've you've had arguments before you've had your fist bolt
You were the Arthur the Jets lost the Patriots and like you came in with a gun
Other than Zach you wanted to punch every single one of us.
Yeah, yeah.
Jack McCarthy for sure.
For sure.
I like Jack.
Oh, Nicky Smokes.
We had that on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just said him.
I was thinking of man versus food guy.
Guy who gives an unsolicited lock like just out of nowhere.
Like hands you an envelope.
Yeah.
It says trick scoob. Google when it hits it's okay but
when it loses it's very mean what else do we have Zack you have any others all fantasy football guy
when you're rooting for your bets yeah yeah oh yeah that's also like become player prop guy too
yeah yeah when Jerry has like a ten leg parlay and he's going crazy you're like my team's playing. We had the dynamic duo Deshaun Watson Justin Tucker.
Yep, that's good. Jim Kramer, the the Mad Money guy. Yeah,
that guy sucks. Yeah. Piers Morgan.
Piers Morgan was a good pick. Yeah, Ray Rice. Ray Rice. Yep.
It's like for all women. Yeah. You take the stairs bitch.
Yeah. Boom. Any other sec? The guys who sell crypto courses on Instagram.
Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. It sounds personal. Have you have you
dabbled? No, no, not at all. Was there ever a time you were
thinking about dabbling? Yeah, I'm not that good at math. Okay.
No. Yeah, Zach saw initial spellings were so bad. He is like one bad speller.
He might be worse than you.
We were brainstorming.
It wasn't like that.
You're in urine.
That's good.
That's a hard title to have.
I don't spell too well, but like I think there's a lot of people out there who aren't the best
at spelling.
He spelled Darren Rivell.
D-A-R-I-N-R-I-V-E-L.
Darren Rivell.
He spelled Joel Embiid.
I-M-B-E-E-D. Darren Rivel. He spelled Joel Embiid. I-M-B-E-E-D.
Yeah.
Roger, you want to hear it?
I have team phonetics spelling.
Like, I will, you will never hear a peep from me.
Do you want Gadel?
Gadel is great.
Yes, his phonetics, I'm team phonetics.
How do you guys think he spelled Gadel?
G-U-D-A-L.
Nope, you're wrong.
G-A-D-E-L. Okay, Gadel, yeah. I got G a D e l. Okay, good. I like that.
All right. Good about rush more boys.
All right, we're gonna hop into wit and yandle. But before we
do, it's brought to you by Mountain Dew. hanging with your
friends this summer, crack open a nice cold Mountain Dew, go out
on the golf course, bring them out and do with you going out for a park day, park season's heating up, bring a Mountain Dew. Nothing goes better with

now here's Whit and Yandel.
Okay, we now welcome on two very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
very special guests because they're our best friends. It is Keith Yandel, Ryan Whitney from the Spit and Chicklets
podcast, our co-workers.
And we just want to have you guys on to hang out.
Oh, yeah, sure.
First question, is it can or is it will Conor McDavid ever
win the big one?
Can Conor McDavid win the big one?
Should he?
Should he win the big one? Can he win the big one? Yes, he should. Can he win the big one? Can Connor McDavid win the big one? Should he? Should he win the big one? Can he win the big one?
Yes, he can. He can. He wins. No such thing as should in
sports. Can he win the big one? Yes. We know that was a
question for hands. Okay. I think yes. Not in Edmonton. Oh,
okay. I like that. That's a good take. Yeah, that take is
interesting to me because everyone's like they can't win
it. They can't win it. Like they've been to the finals two years in a row game seven, game six against
one of the best teams. I mean, I don't know, 97 Red Wings. Like I'm talking like, who's going to
beat Florida? They're better. The past two years, they've been better than everyone but one team.
So to think that they Edmonton like needs to completely change everything is crazy to me okay
not maybe not everything maybe he just needs to go somewhere else maybe he
needs to go to Florida our Oh ring chase is he in the ring yeah no Morrell said
he's going to Tampa I don't need him in Tampa alright so with how how are you
feeling after because I mean we joke but he can't win the big one
as of right now.
He's still young.
How old is he?
28.
Okay, he is still young.
He's got a lot of time to win the big one.
Yeah, he's got a lot of time.
That was just, that was worse than last year
because everyone was like, all right,
it was the whole, I came on and talked about Crosby
beating the wings, Gretzky beating the Islanders.
It just made, it was all lining up to be exactly
as the other two legends had done it.
And it wasn't even close.
I mean, Florida, listen, like they got, Kachuk got injured.
So then they had all that money that that's how they got Jones.
That's how they got Marshawn.
So that works out perfect.
And then it turns out at the end of the series,
Edmonton's being investigated by the league
for abusing the LTIR rule, which is,
Evander Kane was out, apparently he could've
come back sooner than he did.
Oh no.
Well Matthew was actually hurt,
he shouldn't even probably have been playing
the first series.
Yeah, no, for sure.
But Kane was hurt, yeah, no. Wait, so you're telling me- I'm probably been playing the first series. Yeah, no for sure, but Kane was hurt. Yeah. No
Dogging the Panthers. Are you saying the Oilers cheated and still didn't win?
Apparently according to the league even though everyone's been doing this for I don't know five six seven years
Yeah, and now all of a sudden like, you know kick a man when he's down Edmonton's being looked at as possibly
I don't know. I don't know what the punishment would be a fine or draft
pick or something I don't know if anything's come out but I don't picture
this guy retiring without a Stanley Cup maybe it's not an Edmonton I don't know
but Edmonton's not nearly as like lost or or in that bad of a spot the way
people make them sound to be.
Is it malpractice on the GM for the goalie situation?
That, yeah, that's a problem.
After I was like, I said on Chicklets,
they don't have a goalie
that you can win the Stanley Cup with.
Now, once again, they were one game,
a two-one game away from winning the Cup with them,
and then a final strip again.
But if your starting goalie is getting pulled
and losing his job in back-to-back playoffs,
I don't think you have a Stanley Cup goalie.
No.
And Bob, you, I mean,
you have Bob.
Bob was like, he's gonna turn it on,
he's gonna start shutting the door on him.
I think to his point with the goalie situation, everything,
like it shows how good Connor is,
what he's done for that team,
bringing him to back to back finals.
I think he is the main, obviously he's got Leon too,
it's Batman, Robin, but he is so fucking elite,
it's insane.
But we were talking the other day,
how many goalies in the NHL would you trust right now
to beat Bob in a seven game series? We like brought up Az a left ski and he beat him this year in five probably zero and
he wasn't even at his top like what he was playing Bob shaved his head maybe
who's the blues guy Bennington no yeah I mean he's a gamer in big games that's
that's that's a good one but there's no person in hockey
choosing him over Bob.
No.
Bob, like I just met, he shaved his head
like two days after the cup, and at the press conference
said, yeah, new haircut, new year,
I'm starting to get prepared now.
Yeah, no.
Back to work.
As the Panthers were like trashing the Oilers
and celebrating their dicks off,
Bob even said, he's like, yeah, I don't really do this,
like I'm more just appreciative of the moment.
And I'm ready for like the next season.
He's a psycho.
Now here's the problem for the rest of the league.
Like it's been discussed the past two years,
but for all those years, Florida was bad.
It was a sleeping giant because it was like at some point
when they get the right ownership and they get a good team,
every single guy is gonna wanna go there. And it's completely happened now.
So-
This sounds like an NBA problem.
This happens with the Lakers.
It's a state tax problem.
So Panthers fans get mad at this too.
But Biz and I have been,
Biz has been on it more than anyone.
Biz counting everyone's money.
There needs to be like something done because-
They got Biz to learn tax law.
Yeah, exactly. No, he's like good with like money law like he like
so that's something right up his alley but it's not like it's not like the
Panthers are the only team in the league that has that right no no it's Vegas
you got Nashville Dallas Tampa Florida Tampa Florida the only two in the East
Eastern Conference Utah is Utah low I don't I don't know if Utah's a no state tax state.
Kraken?
Is Washington?
No, Washington's like.
I think there's.
Is it?
No, I don't think so.
But the cap being what it was, right?
Maybe it wasn't that big of a deal.
And this is not taking away from the cups.
It really isn't.
But as the cap goes up and up,
and we're talking like in five years,
the cap could be 150 million a year.
Dude, you're talking about saving $20 million.
I got a question.
No state income tax in Washington.
Oh, wow.
Okay, so Seattle.
Seattle, I got a question.
Why doesn't...
It's not warm and nice all year though.
That's true.
Why doesn't Canada just make a law
that no hockey players ever have to pay any taxes?
That's a great question.
If I were running for prime minister of Canada,
I'd be like, first thing I do,
not a single NHL player pays a single cent of tax.
Let's fucking win some cups.
I think Canada is like,
I think all those taxes
are similar to like New York, they're not good.
Yeah, they gotta get rid of them.
So Canada to get a cup again,
forget not wanting to be a part of the media circus.
Like you're then mentioning like,
oh, you're gonna save money too?
It's like, who is gonna sign in Canada?
Free room and board too.
Throw it all in.
Yeah, everything.
We'll pay, the government will pay the players.
So if the cap goes up, it's going to become something where
like this is a legit issue. Okay. So in my opinion, all right,
Batman stuff, but there's in a locker room saying no, he did.
What about though? When we had biz on, we had questions from a
first grader and one of the first graders asked, should
Connor McDavid just try to score more?
Because did he only have one goal in Stanley Cup final? Yeah, he was yeah, I mean it's Florida. It's it's Florida man. Yeah, they're so good
Do you think he should try to score more? I think he's trying his hardest
I think but like I think you got a shoot more me
Like I'm gonna listen to the guys sitting in the nosebleeds. You say shoot the puck every single time
No, no, never listen. No
never
Never wait. I I really I enjoyed your reaction to the loss
I don't want to admit it because I like you but in my like, you know sicko
I want to see what failed back of my brain. I enjoyed I enjoyed this tweet from you
You said I'm quietly singing pink pony club and eating apple pie with vanilla ice cream
Trying not to cry those mid game those mid game
Oh, that was during the game and we would have gone to game. So is it the other thing now?
I
Was those those play to get out shelf you were going to I bought a plane ticket out there
And I really wanted to go but I couldn't thought you were getting a point because because there wasn't a game because it wasn't a game. Yeah, I know now Dan
I didn't think it would happen, but you he had lined up a jet. I was flying to Chicago
We were jetting there. We were going all the chicklets guys Max was coming. Here's the thing
I wasn't they would have lost that game. Yeah, and it would have been and I would have been
Even worse so mad it would have bet even worse. I would have been so mad at you. So mad at you. Because you would have bet what the playing cost.
Everything on Edmonton.
Yeah, that's true.
Because I would have been like,
I have to make the biggest bet of my life on Edmonton.
Yeah.
So actually you did save me money.
What happened over the course of like the next two days
after the cup, how deep was the hole you ran?
You didn't tweet for like a week.
It was brutal.
Yeah, I'm done.
It's season ended, I'm done.
But I was just-
Keith doesn't even have 12. I I was more depressed not about the loss
But about like I don't think Florida's going anywhere like
Realistically, they could play again. Yeah, and I don't know
I don't how how if they get Marshawn and Bennett back that I think if they lose Ekplat
I still think they'll be fine if Marshawn and Bennett come back there. They're probably gonna win two more
What I saw Marshawn going to the least me that's bit well biz biz said that yeah
Oh, I saw a really convincing biz tweeted out a text message
So, you know, he edited it so you couldn't see the name it said Marshawn to Toronto four years nine million a year
It's done. And and I said who was that? And he's like, some guy. Some guy, it was himself.
He texted me.
Yeah, okay.
All right, so I have a real question, hockey question,
because obviously it was talked about
with McDavid's press conference after.
He's got one year left.
Yes.
Do you think there's any chance they trade him?
Because like, if you think he's gonna walk,
you have to trade him, right?
Have to.
You can't, I think the only way Oilers fans
would ever have a right, maybe I'm not worded,
the only way an Oilers fan could tell me
they hated Conor McDavid is if he doesn't tell them,
listen, I'm not resigning, so they get nothing for him.
John Tavarez.
I get that, I get that.
You gotta at least put them in a position to get something.
Toronto's getting nothing from Mitch Marner.
That's crippling.
If he were to tell them that and move on,
as an oil and gas fan, I get it.
And maybe it's because I played,
I'm like, this guy gave you
Everything.
10 years, and it'll be 11.
He gave you everything 10 years and it'll be 11. I mean, he gave you everything he had. He was like, I, I, I, that's probably a huge
disconnect with former and current athletes and fans. But
to me, it's like, dude, he got drafted. He went there. He was
incredible. They went to two Stanley Cup finals. He wanted to
leave. Yeah, it would suck, but it would be, right? You couldn't
do it. Now would you, are you prepared for,
if he asked for a trade,
when he gets trade from Edmonton for us
to become the biggest Connor McDavid fans?
On whatever team.
I wouldn't really get that.
Yeah, but he can too.
Yeah, no, he'll stay it, but then we'll just be like,
oh, we always love them.
That would be one of your worst looks.
Wow.
This is what they live for.
That would be like of your worst looks
It's about appreciating greatness right you've been trying to educate us about Conor Mcdavid for the last five years
Yeah, now we're finally starting to come around on it We're starting to claim your you're starting to sound like you're a hater
But if you're coming around on it, then why would you not like them in Edmonton?
I did like them this year.
Are you a McDavid fan or a Oilers fan?
I love McDavid fans.
They're not, they're not, because I'm sensible.
They're just rooting against you.
I'm a McDavid fan.
They're rooting against me.
Right, so, but if McDavid.
And then I saw how the Oilers treat the guys.
But I actually don't mind it,
because as I said in Chicago,
I now have, my Sundays are like,
who's playing the Bears and who's playing the Redskins
and being able to root against two different teams is so great for me and like just and almost like
you said hoping that one of your teams get to the Super Bowl and then like oh my god if they lose
this one it's even better. The Bears are never getting super bowl. No no. you should do a boosted DraftKings parlay every week. That's just a fake. Yeah. Yeah. This is Ryan.
Commanders and fade the,
Oh, that would be better or worse if you got traded to the Kings.
Well, for me, what's the worst? Yeah. What's the worst place to get treated?
Oh, he ends up on the maple leaf somehow.
That's like the end of the plot. I didn't even think of that.
I didn't think about that either.
But that would be him.
You would actually have to like break up with this.
You would have to be like a marriage counselor.
Yeah, I know.
But I don't know if he wants that madness,
but he might.
No, he wants it.
He wants it.
He wants that madness.
Dude, don't even put that in the universe.
And if David signs a short extension,
which like that's like rumored,
like he maybe signs a two year extension
so he's three years left on the Oilers.
Then if Oilers fans still are mad when he leaves,
if they don't win, it's like, dude,
that's 13 years he gave you.
What was all that about him
wanting to talk to his agent afterwards?
I gotta talk to my agent before I make this.
There was a quote that we played on Chicklets
that was a little like, somebody asked him
about basically the core there and how everyone's young and there's still time and he was like,
yeah.
He was kind of like, yeah, like I guess or something.
Something that was like, uh, it doesn't necessarily scream like, yeah, I can't wait to come back
with this group.
So now you like read so far
into that it was probably everyone's reading so far there's never been I mean
there's never been a player like this that's you know Sid was always boom he
signed with Pittsburgh the minute he could. Ovi boom he signed with Washington the
minute he could like there's never been a player that's like coming up upon
your agency and it isn't locked in. Is he the biggest free agent ever?
Ever. If he gets there?
Ever. Oh yeah, for sure.
I don't know. Not even close.
What Super Street was?
What generational players ever be?
LeBron, when he did like that whole like touring,
going around and stuff.
Yeah, what are you talking?
It's an NBA.
Wait, you think that's?
Oh, hockey, it's not even close.
He's number one.
Yeah.
Not even close. Yeah.
No, I meant including NBA.
No, because LeBron was, right?
Okay, so respect for LeBron. Yeah, I mean well, he's more famous
Mm-hmm, right if we're going in the US who's more talented McDavid or LeBron? I
Don't know enough about basketball. I'd have to ask like I would say
With like Connor like LeBron has like he's 6 8
250 pounds like he's physically dominant. Yeah, like if Connor McDavid walked in here right now, you'd be like hey with like you wouldn't think he was who he is
So I think for what he has
he's
Got more out of he's a better more skilled more skill
Yeah, like if McDavid was the size of Tom Wilson and this good it would be like well, yeah, but he's he's not he's like
I don't know what six one or buck 90. he's six one he's pretty taller than you think
yeah he's taller than you think you kick his ass no I can't kick anyone's ass
literally wait he ends did you ever have an off season where you said you had to
talk to your agent first I think the the whole play when you say I'm talking to
my agent is not if I'm the GM of that team
I'm like, oh boy. Yeah, cuz usually I don't know I mean he's such a different level
You just don't know right like my thing the whole time has been that dry side will resign last summer
So with one year to go you're allowed to resign and I was like, alright Conor's coming back
Right because why would Leon have signed up if Connor was like, yeah, I'm not sure yet.
Now Grunelli's argument is like,
well, he knows that he's so good as well
that if McDavid leaves, he'll be like, trade me too.
Right, right.
So what about the rest of the East?
Let's say Marshawn doesn't re-sign, where would he go?
Fuck, I don't know.
I actually could see him going to Toronto.
Yeah, they'd tell.
Wait, Biz actually might be right?
No, that's Ben.
Well, I'm trying to think of all the teams.
I don't know.
My thing with Marshawn is I think he was so shocked
to get traded and not be a Bruin for life,
then he goes to Florida and wins.
He's probably like, I'll just stay here.
And then I did two teams, but I got a cup with both.
I don't see him. Everyone's like like he's been underpaid his whole career, which is true
Like by a lot, but he still made 60 right? Yeah, it's not like he's still eating well
What about uh, did you guys see the 500k bill at 11 from the Panthers?
Oh you guys broke that yeah
Who we do You guys broke that news told you those are Matthew Chuck Who do you spit in check?
It was calm. They said we had they said we had a call
He was like March he went to go back in to pay
Which if you're going back in to pay you haven't been underpaid. Yeah
Yeah, but he has he has and but it's he was going back in and Matthew goes. Yeah, I think he forgot that we had a
$500,000 comp. Oh my god was it itemized?
That's incredible. I never saw the
CBS receipts had the legendary one of the receipt of like a hundred and why didn't you go to 11? You're a panther I
Was already I was up here for the summer
We so what you guys met when you guys were both on the Panthers, right?
Who me and yeah met when I was like six. Yeah, but then you guys know we weren both on the Panthers right who me and yeah, we met when I was like six
Yeah, but then you guys know we weren't on the Panthers together. I thought you were for like no weak no no no he came
He signed
Two years after yeah when you guys were never on an HLT no
Never got to play together, but we both got to play with this so that's a real win. Yeah, that's true
We trained together together every summer
Did they talk about which which days on the Panthers like when you got there is legendary?
Walk in you see the mural you understand and
Like he dealt he downplays it like he played for the team like he could rule he could well take him as a fan
Yeah, like if he wants to come over he wore that. Biz never wore the Toronto Maple Leafs jerseys,
light the candles on national TV.
Like we will take wit.
Wait, you were on the Coyotes with Biz?
Yeah.
What was your first, when you first met Biz,
what were you like, who is this guy?
What's wrong with this guy?
So he, I called wit, he's like,
he's like, oh, you guys just picked up Biz, whatever.
He's like, mark my words, you're gonna hate his guts.
The first three days and then you guys will be boys and he hit it on the head
Like we almost fought really first practice. Why you guys don't get biz at that age. He was a fucking psycho
Like like the loudest person in the locker room.
Mario Lemieux is walking around.
Mark Recky is walking around.
You know, Mario will grab lunch to
the key reason to go to Portobello's or whatever.
And he's not even like they could just cut him any any moment.
Oh, dude.
You'd like somebody back to Mario.
Like you don't really like any.
But whoa, you know, he wants to have lunch.
Like he doesn't even get like how we.
So our captain in Phoenix, Shane Doan, like the biggest warrior ever.
The guy was a fucking animal animal.
Like the trainers used to have to beg him to come on the table
and get some work done.
So he never would go in the trainer's room.
He was just like a fucking pro for bread.
So he's on the table.
Like business first day, like he like did something. It was hip or whatever. And he walks in and he's on the table, like Biz's first day,
like he like did something, was hip or whatever,
and he walks in and he's on the table and Biz first day,
he's like, oh, Donner on the table again.
So the trainers are like, no,
like don't say that Donner gets up.
He's usually the, like Donner's usually the last guy
on the ice, he was the first guy on the ice
waiting like skating around,
he's like, I'm gonna fucking kill this kid.
And then I almost fought him that first day.
Why?
Because I saw what happened with Donner.
Donner was my guy, he took care of me.
So I like, whatever, something happened,
then I like kind of like speared him or whatever,
and he's like, let's go, let's go.
Drops his gloves, I go.
In practice.
In practice, he's about, he's like shaking his gloves.
I go, bro, you drop those gloves,
the stick's going over your noodle.
Does that happen a lot, are there fights in practice a lot?
When you're struggling? When the team like they let them just fight? Yeah, the legendary one was when the
blues were in last place. They had a fight between
to ZO and
Bertuzzo and the kid from Zach Sanford, Zach Sanford and
Bertuzzo tuned them up. But like it, something clicked. Now
whether it was that or not, I don't know,
but the team just caught fire and you know,
there needed to be some release in practice.
But they happened, not crazy common.
I just love the story of Biz going into the training room.
And it's probably this guy's nightmare
to be made fun of for being in the training room.
Yeah, and then like all his worst fears come true.
And Biz was selling his clothes
I remember he was like the first any cellar to get like a million Instagram followers Twitter Twitter Twitter
Yeah, he's selling his clothes. He'd like offer guys deals on like t-shirts and shit
He was wait. So what when did it click that you became friends with this three days after what happened?
So I used to I'd never drove to the rank. I'd always get rides
I just hate driving.
So I'm there and like the guy that drove me,
he was like, hey, I got to bounce find another ride.
Last guy there, Biz.
I'm like, oh God, I get in the back.
He's got like a Toyota Camry.
And it's like, there's a hockey stick in between
like the handles in the back with all of his clothes hanging.
I'm like, hey dude, you ever think you need to like backup?
It didn't have like a backup camera.
So I'm like, oh my God, he drops me off.
He like sees the house.
He's like, you mind if I crash here for a couple of weeks?
I'm like, absolutely not, dude.
I got a wife and kids.
Like absolutely not.
No, I didn't have kids at the time.
You can see the extra bedroom.
But a good practice fight story, this guy Josh Gratton
that I played with was a mutant nail gun. Like crazy tough. Crazy tough. I love that phrase, nail gun. So in our best
defenseman at the time, his name was Ed Jovanovsky, who was crazy tough too, but
he was our best D-man making like the most money. They get into a fight and
practice and Gratz just like grabbed him and just took like ten punches to the
face. We're in the locker room after, I'm like, Why didn't you swing back? He goes, I hit him. I go to the miners.
10 punches.
This kid couldn't get cut. Yeah, yeah.
His skin was like, double this thick as a normal person. Jesus.

Okay, back to the boys.
That's crazy.
That was so tough. Yeah, Biz, Biz to the boys. That's crazy. He was so tough.
Yeah, Biz, Biz back in Pittsburgh.
Oh my God.
It was, it was.
So you got drafted and he came what, a year later?
He actually got drafted the year after me,
but then he was pro before me
because I stayed in college for a couple years.
Right.
And then the first time I ever saw Biz,
I walked into Melon Arena,
7.45 in the morning.
I was the second session skating.
No, yeah, I showed up at like, say, eight, 7.45.
I was skating at 9.30, and he is middle of the ice
swearing off with Dan Carcillo fighting,
like maybe the earliest fight in pro hockey history.
And they were boys.
And I'm like, who is this guy? And then he came, like, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, you were high-pegged. Yeah, I was a first round pick.
Most people, a lot of guys, I don't know if it's the same,
would go to the draft.
Even if you were projected third round, they'd go.
See your friends.
It's not like the NFL where you see the...
There's cameras on you.
It's like, oh, this guy's so sad that he hasn't been drafted.
No, yeah, my draft, there was a guy that was supposed to go
first overall for like three years and he didn't.
And they'd pick a guy, put him on camera, and then they guy that was like supposed to go first overall for like three years and he didn't and
They'd pick a guy put him on camera. Then they just panned to this kid in the crowd. I remember being like, oh
Jay Bo Meister, he ended up doing pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. Wait, so
Wait, so you went to your draft. You didn't go to yours, right? No, my party for yeah We had a party at my house. That was fun. Actually mine was the lockout year. So only like the top
That was fun actually. Mine was the lockout year, so only the top 10,
whatever it was, guys went.
It was in a conference room.
That was Sid's draft year.
And yeah, we didn't go.
We had a party at my house.
My parents had to go out and buy a computer.
And then I got a phone call.
They're like, hey, Wayne Gretzky wants to talk to you.
I'm like, why would Wayne Gretzky want to talk to me?
I didn't know he was the coach of Arizona.
I'm like, hey, what's up? He's like, welcome to the team. I'm like, why would Wayne Gretzky want to talk to me? I didn't know he was the coach of Arizona. I'm like, hey, what's up?
He's like, welcome to the team.
I'm like, oh my God.
And then it was just like a crazy world.
That's pretty incredible that you got drafted
by Wayne Gretzky.
Yeah.
That's like an all time moment.
Did you think you were going to go when you went
or did you think you were going to go earlier?
No, you were like supposed to go a little earlier.
I was supposed to go, yeah, like second round.
I got in a little trouble off ice and then fell, you dropped. Yeah, Keith was a little crazy
Wait, what pick were you fifth? That's crazy weak draft. No
Fuck off 2003 draft after me was business draft. That's the best draft of all time
What did biz get picked second round like 45th? Oh, wow
draft of all time. What did Biz get picked?
Second round, like 45th.
Oh wow.
Right around there.
He took Biz as like the greatest.
He was a defenseman then.
Yeah, but he was the greatest youth hockey player
of all time, right?
No.
I think he was this size.
I think he was.
No.
I thought he was.
No, he definitely wasn't.
I don't know who told you that, but they lied to you.
I think it might have been Biz.
But he was.
It might have been Zach.
Wait, so what round was Biz in?
Second. Second.
But that round, so that first round.
Was Biz a bust?
Is he a bust?
For that draft?
That draft.
That draft.
Well, he's probably the most famous out of the draft.
Yeah, let's see who was drafted after him.
Biz has done pretty well as a beauty.
Corey Perry, I think, was drafted.
A great friend, but I'd say if I'm being objective
as a journalist, I'm looking at that draft.
Good question.
Oh.
If we did the redraft, where would he be?
So Biz almost made the team at 18 in Pittsburgh as a D-man.
Sounds like he was the best.
Oh, no, no, no, he was a fourth rounder.
He was a fourth rounder.
Oh, fourth rounder.
All right, all right.
He was a fourth rounder.
I don't know why I thought he was second rounder.
Bus proof.
He was good.
I retract.
Bus proof.
You can be a bus. No, he's not a bus. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not a bus at all. He made. Bus proof. I retract. That's bus proof. You can't be a bus. No, he's not a bus.
Yeah, yeah.
Not a bus at all.
If you made the NHL.
Yeah, he played over what?
No, he's actually a success story.
He played 200 games.
Yeah, he's, yeah.
He is a...
They're gonna do a 30 for 30 on him.
On Piz.
So last night we were hanging out,
Whitney, you have a prediction that there's gonna be a guy
in the next 20 years in the NHL who's just as good with his right as he is his left.
Yeah, I was thinking about that this morning. It might be 30 years, 30. But I think we're gonna get the show. Hey, oh, Tony, oh, Tony, amadextrous NHL player.
That would rock. And he'll have to have a straight curve like Sydney, Sydney Crosby, just straight stick.
like Sydney, Sydney Cross, you just straight stick. Yeah, yeah.
You have the straight stick, and then you drive wide
and be unreal righty, and you drive wide and be unreal lefty.
And I mean, like defending, you could switch your top hand
here and there.
I don't know.
I just think that at some point, you're
going to see things that you never thought imaginable.
Yeah.
In every sport, we never thought of shoulder.
Or maybe a goalie, two gloves.
No stick, though.
No stick, yeah.
So we just forgot that a goalie had a stick for a second.
I did, yeah.
It's off season.
Some of us had a couple substances last night
when we were talking about this prospect.
I came up with the invention of the double curve stick
that looks like an S, so you've got two curves in it.
And then I thought about saying,
what about a goalie with no stick?
And then I realized that's probably not gonna work out.
No, it's bad. What about a goalie with two sticks and then I realized that's probably not gonna work out. No, what about a goalie with two sticks?
illegal illegal, okay
Illegal right today. This might be a dumb question. Do they actually measure the goalies pads before every game?
Yeah, like before I don't know if it's
Cheat so every goalie if you look at their pads the inside like the top has a signature on it
It's like J whatever and it's the guy has to sign off on those.
Okay, well, it's like random though. But so it's every every
pad. But you could maybe one game a big game. Yeah, game seven
Stanley Cup. Breakout the big pads. I know. But imagine if
like you want them in that new you got busted after the oilers.
Will they do you had a moment where you were so happy
and then they're like, nope, taking it away,
have to replay the game.
It's the greatest day of our lives.
How happy are you?
We have to fly back in the jet for game eight.
Turn around.
How happily do you do that?
You said you'd come to game eight, man.
Game eight.
Wait, did you guys ever play in a game with an e-bug?
No, I had never had that.
Never where they played.
Oh, okay.
But had them on the bench.
Oh, I would play with them.
But this was like an e-bug for real players.
Yeah.
He was just a bug.
He's like.
He's like.
Dude, we had a kid in New York, our goalie left
and our assistant GM called me.
He's like, hey, do you know any goalies around?
And our buddy Bunzo was living in New York at the time. I'm like,
find some goalie pads. You're a backup tonight. Trying to get him.
And he ended up calling me back. He's like, they found a kid.
So you get to the rink at what five o'clock. Yeah. Four 30.
He was fully dressed at four 30. This kid just ready for war.
Just ready. I'm like, guy, we got three.
It is the coolest thing in sports. Like imagine if any other sport had that. I'm like, just ready. I'm like, guy, we got three hours. It is the coolest thing in sports. Imagine if any other sport had that.
Some people argue it makes hockey look like.
No, dude, it's awesome.
That's my favorite of all the Maple Leafs embarrassing stats.
The no cups in 67, the no conference finals,
it's that their Zamboni driver beat them in an NHL game.
Their own, their own.
That is the best thing I've ever heard.
No, imagine if all the other sports had it.
Like if they were just like- Picture?
Yeah, or like a basketball player.
Like everyone, any fan can show up in full gear
and like you could just get called on.
You just get in.
But Biz said that as a player, he's like,
they should have a e-bug players.
If a guy gets hurt, I'm like, guy,
you don't think a guy in the local union 108
sees Brad Marshawn up there playing against New York?
He's gonna two-hand him in the face.
Yeah, right.
Like a goalie doesn't really have a impact.
Well, my big idea is, we pitched it to some
of the starting pitchers we've talked to,
is I think the first pitch in baseball games should count.
So like 50 cent goes up and he has to pitch to like show
his ball.
You gotta be on the mound.
You gotta be on the mound every time.
Yeah, just every single time.
Did you think Joe Burrow was joking around on those?
We spin-zoned it, because we're friends with Joe Burrow.
I think he got, I think that whole fucking fanatics thing
was just like, they basically listed like, like alright, what's gonna go viral?
Let's make a fake viral thing here here and they were like Joe burrow
We're gonna pay you like two million dollars suck at throwing baseballs. Oh
I can I can stomach I think it might be like a football
I know but they're like you you can you could do this and you won't pay you a shitload of money
It will go viral
I think it might be just misdirection like he doesn't want people to think he's got a good arm.
That too.
So he's gonna throw a bad pitch.
Make your enemies think that you're weak when you're strong.
They know he's got a hand of an arm.
Yeah.
Yeah, but when you see that pitch.
He's been in the league for like four years.
You think to yourself, maybe Joe Burrow sucks now.
What are your realistic expectations
individually of your teams this year?
I'm talking about football?
Cautiously optimistic. Like over 500?
Cautiously optimistic.
No, like seriously like...
I think they have a tough schedule.
I think they should win...
He's a 6 out of 10.
9 games, 10 games maybe?
And if he's as bad this year as he was last year...
Oh yeah, no, alright, so here's the's over. Here's the best part about this year.
I think Caleb Williams is really good.
They have set up everything with the coach, with the offensive line,
with the weapons. If he sucks this year, it's over. We'll find out right away.
You know what I mean? Like if he's bad, there's not going to be like, Oh,
well they don't have a second year, which is actually good.
Cause you want to find out. And if you could switch it,
you would take his guy right right now I think that's so obvious
like look I'm happy is you have a good quarterback like we grew up with the
Brady arrows be in New England fans like you have a good quarterback you deep
down you know I can't say I'm every fast in my life comment every every minute
every second every activity that I do is better
because I have Jayden Daniels.
Let's get this conversation.
My days are brighter when I wake up in the morning
and I'm like, Jayden.
Let's get this conversation back to Connor McDavid.
No, what's your expectations?
No, season's over.
Like Super Bowl?
Yeah, you're thinking soupy.
I'm not thinking soupy yet
because we do have a very tough schedule.
We had an easy schedule last year.
This year's schedule is way way harder
There usually is some sort of regression in the second year if quarterback comes out like that and lights the world on fire
So I would like to make the playoffs again
I think we don't make the playoffs big disappointment and then once we get there
Yeah, I want to go to the Super Bowl, but I I'm not thinking like this this year right now is the star your window
It is no it is this is the start of the Super Bowl window.
And what is that year?
Five years?
I mean, as long as you have Jayden.
As long as we have him under that first contract.
Yeah.
So I said after like maybe 10 or 12 weeks last year,
like we're not going to make the Super Bowl this year,
but this is the start of the window where everything that we do
should be done with the understanding that this team can win a Super Bowl.
So like contracts, entry level deals for for quarterbacks you get four years and then
a five-year extension on it so the team can take a five-year option and any time
in that five years you're really underpaying your quarterback so you can
overpay for other guys yeah so yeah like a first or whatever isn't it what's he
making 20 no it's less second year is like four million.
Yeah, but they're signing bonuses.
He gets a big signing bonus.
It's like they make like 25 or 30.
I'll look it up.
Like right off the bat.
But they could sign him right now.
It's what, eight years?
No, you're not going to.
It's after the third year?
Yeah, you'd come back.
Because you guys would, right?
But you're not canceling the other years.
No, correct.
It kicks in after.
Correct, that's how Mahomes won his first two while he,
I'm pretty sure it was his first two while he was still,
is that right?
So why would you sign?
It's basically, if you look at the NFL,
and I've had this argument with people because they're like,
well, what about this?
Outside of Tom Brady, who took less money,
pretty much every year, the Super Bowl
has a team that has a quarterback who's on a rookie deal
Wow, like it's pretty consistently it might not be like they win
But like Joe burrow obviously those Bengals teams like you can go back and it's just was Jalen hurt still nice on extension
But did it what did it kick in? I'm not sure I don't know. I kicked it
So yeah, he was still getting paid like the Eagles this year like Brock Purdy last year
They don't even need a super Bowl Eagles don't need a quarterback. So yeah, he was still getting paid like the Eagles this year. Like Brock Purdy last year. The 49ers were in the Super Bowl.
Eagles don't need a quarterback.
You just gotta.
Oh wow.
So realistically, the Eagles, Max, like the Eagles,
you guys could win games without a guy.
Like he's not your best player.
He's not your Tom Brady.
Where would you rank him?
Where would you rank Jalen Hurts?
As like a.
As a quarterback in the league.
By the way, Jaden Daniels is making two and a half million dollars this year
Like that's what he's really great for what he does right like what he's doing is winning. Yeah, it's like works. Whatever Max
Like I take that Prescott over. What do you have max like top five? I
He said that Prescott so I'm not participating in this blackout
Yeah, I think it's kind of hard.
Jalen Hurts' contract did kick in.
I'm sorry.
It's kind of hard to definitively say that Dak Prescott couldn't do what Jalen Hurts
is doing.
If he had that off and on.
I don't know that much about the NFL.
But like.
In a bad direction.
I'll say.
That's for sure.
I think Means could corner back the Eagles to a Super Bowl.
I think there's enough body of evidence out there with Dak Prescott.
I think we can.
He's the 17th best quarterback in the NFL, but he's never had a team like that.
Eagles team.
That's also true.
Yeah. So I'm looking up right now.
Mahomes in 2019.
They won the Super Bowl.
He was making $2 million in 2022 when they won the Super Bowl, he was making 30, which is still so cheap for him. Then this 2023, he was making 60. So, like, obviously, Mahomes, like, they'll still be in it. But how it works. Sometimes you're better getting the second pick
because you don't have to make the decision.
Well, I had him first.
I had him ranked first.
Well, I mean, unless it's like Ryan Leaf.
No, no, oh, oh, there's probably more times
where it's worse, but like, yeah, you think?
But there's times where it's like.
Yeah, you get the decision made for you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was mean what you did to Max.
You want to apologize?
He won.
Dak Prescott is the 17th best quarterback.
Really?
That's where we rank him.
Max and the Andes are the only people who've won shit in this fucking room.
No, I'm not like chirping.
I think Andy like...
Dak Prescott's never had an elite offensive line in great weapons.
No, he has had.
Yeah, that's true.
You're right.
I'm more thinking the D.
The defense was nasty. Their D, they did not have that. That was before
Who won the Eagles to Super Bowl? Mike Apparition?
The D or the offensive if you had to give up?
I think they both played pretty good.
Yeah, their offensive was the best running back.
The D's unbelievable. The Eagles are fucking awesome.
Are the Eagles in a spot where they could get like this? Like are they in like a...
Yeah, Dynasties?
They could easily win it again this year.
It's a big disappointment that they don't.
A lot of work to be done, but yeah, they're in a good spot.
They lost a lot of guys, but you know, next man up.
Yes.
Next man up are.
They also just draft people really well.
Yeah, Howie, fucking Howie.
Georgia.
Yeah, Georgia.
They just draft Georgia guys.
Go fast.
All right, you guys wanna do a bonus Mount Rushmore?
Yeah, sure. Should we do Mount Rushmore hockey players? Yeah, are you guys want to do a bonus Mount Rushmore? Yeah sure do Mount Rushmore hockey players
Yeah, all right seems kind of like hockey player layup. Yeah, the best hockey players Mount Rushmore of the best hockey players
Okay, okay. We'll go all time. Well you you know you to start okay? I'll go first Wayne Gretzky
Okay, I'll go second Connor McDavid, okay? I
Can't take someone you guys know. That's how much more works. I'll take said, Bobby or and I get
to go again. Yeah, Mario Lemieux. I already won. Yeah,
this is nice. I'll take Ray Bork. I'll take Jagger. Good
pick. Good pick. I got McDavid and Jagger. I'll take
Alexander of etchkin. And then I will take that's a good pick. I got me David and younger. I'll take Alexander of Etchkin and
Then I will take that's a good pick PFT. That's a really good run out of hockey players
Can you get two more? No, I can yeah, I was gonna say Marty McSorley
Fuck it. I'm gonna take Paul Bissonnette. Ooh, I'll take I'll take bro door. I
Need to go like goal. You gotta have a
body wall party there. Oh, that's a good one. What was his line when he's like I
can't hear you with all the rings in my ears. Yeah, I say that to Ronick. Yeah,
it's all the rings in my hairs. These are gonna get put up and voted on. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. So I'll take Dominic haschick. Okay. So I got Lemieux or Hasek. Oh, that's good.
And I'll end my team with,
holy shit.
Where do I go, D or forward?
You know who I wanna take, Keith.
Lindstrom.
Yeah, but.
Marc Messier.
Oh, that's good.
That's a hell of a team. That's a weird one. Yeah, yeah. That's a hell of a team. That's a hell of a team.
It's a good I got toughness.
I got gold. Can I take a guy I don't know that much about but he was yeah, obviously
I'll take Mr. Hockey Gordie Haw. Okay, good one. That's a good pick. Can I I want it on
the graphic I want it Ryan Whitney before his ankles betrayed him. Thank you
Off the glass and sit grab that
Guy you never use the glass. I'm gonna go cellos
Good pick. Yeah, did anyone take Bobby? No
No, no way better hockey player than person
Bobby hard never met way better. He's not alive anymore. Yeah, I know but he was a way better hockey player than person
Okay
Disagree I don't know him. I agree with me on this. I do not know the man
Just agree that he's a way better hockey player. He's an unbelievable hockey player. Oh,
this is what you who do you guys do this? JJ? JJ what? Yeah,
he's a better football. You're a better football player. They
always say like, there's gonna be better people. Yeah, as good
a football player is even better human being. No, that's not
true. Yeah. He's a 1% human being, but he's not a tie. He's
a better person. Absolutely. Yeah, he's not a tie. He's a better person
He's still thanking people
He's down there just thanking one of my favorite things last night we were at dinner and
Biz was in the middle of a conversation with
Sasson area and they were talking and Biz was just like chewing on his fingers

Like he's just Raya slideshow going through his brain.
How about when we go Biz how old Sass

firstborns crib and I took a nap while the guy came and built it.
You check that thing for safety. I got you, bud.
Like Jesus Christ, you can't even provide for your kid. It
was like 45 bucks. Oh, I can't even provide for your kid. It was like 45 bucks.

We have Monday, we're gonna do Dungeons and Dragons.
Great episode.
Wednesday, we have our Dingers Only draft.
We have Joey Chestnut.
We have Zach Galin and Meryl Kelly.
And we'll also update anything we miss.
So there'll be a new show Wednesday,
no show Friday on 4th of July, and then we'll be back.
So we have two shows next week.
I forget, did we say for Dingers Only
that the guys that we drafted, the home runs,
did they count in between the draft?
They did not.
No, we're starting it when it's live on Dingers Only,
I think it'll be July 2nd.
All right.
Hank.
Yeah.
What's your Fire Fest of the week?
My Fire Fest is my Friday Fest, my Fry Fest,
Fry Fest of the week.
Fryter Fest?
Yeah.
That was really the only bad thing that happened to me
this week, tough, tough take, didn't need to even speak up,
said it for no reason.
Yeah, you really, I watched it back and it PFT and I were
just kind of talking and you just out of nowhere was like, yeah, it was anti-florio. Yeah. Yeah.
He was trying to figure out a way to get at Florio. Yeah. It's a big deal. Why you dropped it on a
Friday. It was Tuesday. Uh, but you know, it's July 4th week coming up where you just have been
golfing for three days. There's, there's not not not too much wrong going on in my life. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, that's great. You didn't wear a hat this week
No, I didn't I didn't love the hats that we had for for the like it just didn't match my outfits
I guess I
Know I just I don't know. I just I went away. I went no hat yesterday
I wore hat today
Yeah, but when no one told me that there was a sticker on my hat, which I was upset about after that that you didn't wear
No, I wore a hat today. Oh, yeah, but I mean yesterday it was sunny today
It was not you did not wear a hat in the Sun. Wait
Trying to get blonde hair you are we're thinking about doing Sun and oh you should bleach it. Well, just natural
Yeah, I don't like lemon in it
Yeah lemon. Yeah, Hank
You you wore you had a sticker on your hat all day yesterday. No one said anything today today
You got lofted. I got lofted. Yeah, you got lofted. You should sue Hank loftwood. Will you be suing for your lofted?
Yeah, I'd like to smugly so that you lose. Yeah, you just fell for that. That was dumb
Yeah, I'd like to smash it. So then yeah, you're a loser.
Yeah, you just fell for that.
That was dumb.
Walked right into that one, Hank.
That is brutal, though.
Actually, does that mean if we don't sue for being lofted,
that means that we are entitled to money?
Yeah, we are.
Whose money?
I'm just saying, if you do sue for being lofted,
then that means that you should lose that lawsuit.
So if you don't sue, then that means that you are entitled to money.
But how do you get it without suing?
Catch 22.
By the way, that just made me think of an idea we should do Mount Rushmore of like minor
embarrassments.
That's a good one.
Yeah, we'll do that some at some point this summer. Because yeah, like that just sucks
to walk around and just I had I had a little
when you're at the in a
Corporate or professional setting and someone's like your flies down like it was one of you guys were like well don't burn the Mount Rushmore, dude
Yeah, okay
That was one one pick. Okay. I had this I had the thing coming out of my hat, but someone told me right away
So was it Max? I think was Tom lay actually shout out Tom like a huge I
think also with you Hank when you wear a hat that has a sticker on it if I saw
that I would think he's doing it on purpose yeah I got a cool guy moves a
cool guy move that I don't know about so I better not say anything I don't like
it memes does all the time means does it not gonna I'm not gonna roast it but it
makes no sense in the ever it bothers the fuck out of me. Yeah, you leave your stickers on your hats
I do yeah
What's up with that? I?
Don't know. I think I heard one time like it makes it inauthentic if you take them off
Are you selling your hats? No, I don't want it to lose value. I got this 1981 Jets hat
No, I don't want it to lose value. I got this 1981 Jets hat.
Wait, do you think, are you saying inauthentic
like the resell of the hat or are you saying inauthentic
like someone walks up to you, sees you in a Jets hat,
looks to see if there's a sticker and there's no sticker
and they're like, yeah, you're not a Jets fan.
You're inauthentic.
Yeah, kind of both.
I was looking at, I was getting rid of some hats
and I have some old PMT ones that just I took the sticker off and
Just dust around them
Around the where the sticker where the sticker was hats to have they've I can't get rid of hats or shoes, dude
It's kind of actually how many hats you guys think you have? I probably have her 60 hats
Oh, I got over a hundred. I probably over 150. I might be in like the three or four hundreds. It's
Insane we should do a whole hat. Well just in my house. I know you have a bunch at the office
I know I'm saying just in my house. I might have that I need a hat room
I have a closet that's just hats and I have another closet that's hats that I have where
And are they hung up?
I need to hang up my hats cuz that's my my other problem is I just I actually all my hats get ruined by other hats it's just the weight of the other hats push them down yeah I mean if you are for this trip
six where do you put them I didn't wear one where you want to put it my backpack they get
all crumpled up in there a little bit you can combine them no can't tell you the trick where's
my backpack you gotta do that one I, I attached it to the strap.
Yeah.
Cause if you put it in the bag, it's ruined.
But if you have two on there, it looks weird.
That was a hat talk.
Do you think this is an episode?
If we look back, it's like we talked about the most inconsequential things.
Yeah, I'd say so.
But I mean, this is, that's what this is for.
This is actually, it is the traditional before the 4th of July week news dump
Correct is Hank was just early on it, right?
But he's right that like when the NFL is bad news to release it is that day
There's always like somebody getting busted for some sort of drug some some team owner like siphoning money from everybody else
It's it's the lowest news cycle
Week in the year probably yeah
It's like this week the end of this week and next week are the lowest news cycle news draft.
What? You just did the NBA draft. Yeah, but that was inconsequential. Yeah, it was NBA draft.
The thing, the lottery is more consequential than the NBA draft. The draft is not true. We don't know who's going to be good.
The draft has been the Sixers biggest day of the last like decade. Yeah where it got him. Yeah process. Mm-hmm
What you are a Wizards fan? No, so we crushed our NBA draft recap. I know but I
Like enough the whole process something this week. I'm I guarantee there's weeks that are less than the NBA draft
Also number one max. I'm not a Wizards fan. I'm
Wizards curious.
I'm experimenting with the Wizards. I experimented back in college.
Now, as I get older, I'm like, maybe I should go back and check them out again.
But for the Sixers, that is like the big thing that you guys built around.
Correct.
Process was focused on the NBA draft.
So you should be excited about it.
Yeah, I like the NBA draft.
Yeah. Also, my dinner order last night was a disaster
Yeah, we talk about that like a six-year-old yeah, I mean it boils down to this
We you know, we had a good table so it was a lot of good banter
I wasn't I didn't look at the menu and then the guy came around and was like, what do you want?
and I was just like ah pizza and
Yeah, everyone else everyone else got full meals. He just came out and just with a big cheese pizza
Hey, cool
A large cheese pizza sitting in front of him the entire night, and then I got wicked bad heartburn
Yeah, I haven't had heartburn like whatever you guys talk about. I can't relate and today. I was like oh fuck
Also, don't think I've ever heard you say wicked once. And it was like the first
time we've ever recorded in Massachusetts. Yeah. That was so funny though. Cause like,
yeah, it was, I got like a chicken parm. I think Biz got a steak or some fish and you
just had a large cheese pizza sitting right in front of you. That was tough.
It was like your birthday party.
It was tough sitting next to like.
Your Chuck E. Cheese.
Sitting next to Yandel and just chirp, chirp, chirp,
chirp, chirp every two seconds.
I was like, yeah, now this is, it's tough to come back.
Yeah.
Oh dude, Yans was in my head.
He said that he's never been out ordered.
So then I would try to tell the waiter to tell,
I was like, get whatever he gets.
And then he, his order was like 10 minutes long. And I was like, you know what? then he his order was like ten minutes long
Mm-hmm, and I was like, you know, I hate my half. Yeah, did you guys for show? Yes
He business chicken wings last night. Yeah, he doesn't eat the heats him with a fork and knife
Paul Bissonnette eats chicken wings with a fork and a knife
I've never never been so disappointed man, but then I looked at the chicken wings. They might have been a little undercooked
Okay, but still he went for it his go-to move is forked knife chicken wing that's crazy yeah
that's crazy all right pfd your fire fest my favorite fest is that my my back
is fucked up bad back bad back this week that's on me it might have something to
do my swing my swing coach not giving me a warm-up regiment wait is it your
fault it's partially we went over a lot of you know practice technique and we Uh, not giving me a warm up regiment. Wait, is it your fault?
It's partially we went over a lot of, uh, you know, practice technique and we didn't create a, uh, physical stretching and training program, which is it's
going to be implemented and when we're back, there was a moment where someone
asked PFT, I was sitting next to him.
It was like, how'd you screw up your back?
Was it golf or something else?
And he's like, no, I just woke up with this. I was like, PFT, you have been golfing
like 700 shots a day. He's like, Oh, yeah, that's probably golf. Yeah, it's golf related.
I brought that to Hank's attention. And we operate as a team. And Hank's an accountability
guy. He goes, that's probably not far from the truth that I might have screwed that up
by not giving you warm up. But it's a yeah, yeah, the herniated disc and it's been tough to walk around. I think I have to cancel the vacation for next week
because I don't think I'm going to be able to walk around Yellowstone. Uh, but that just
means wait, seriously? That sucks. Yeah. Cause I, I can't like sit down and if I'm hiking,
that's going to be bad, but spin zone, I get to just chill in Chicago and not do shit and just take a lazy vacation.
Are you going to golf?
I was about to say like, I'm going to give myself a couple of days off.
You're going to golf and get hurt again.
I'm going to take a couple of days off golf.
But I did.
There's something magical about doing like those stretches and then you stand up and you immediately feel better.
Yeah, you're like, oh, that's all I have to do.
You're fixed.
But then once you once your back gets better, then you forget to do the stretches because you feel good. Then. You're like, Oh, that's all I have to do. You fixed. But then once you once your back gets
better, then you forget to do the stretches because you feel
good. Then your back gets hurt again. There's it's also
whenever you get injured and you wake up in the morning, you're
like, I feel incredible. Yeah. And then 15 minutes goes by.
You're like, Oh, nope. The injury is still there. Yeah.
Yeah. But we got here. And the people at the club were they
were awesome.
Yeah, shout out to great horse. Great horse. Great horse.
It was a fantastic time. Phenomenal, phenomenal facilities.
People were great. I got here and it was like at its worst.
I could barely move my legs and all the people were like, are you okay? Are you okay?
And I was just trying to like tough it out and be fine.
And then throughout the course of the week,
everyone's coming up to me that works here being like, hey, are you feeling okay?
Are you feeling better?
They're like babying me as I'm walking.
I'm like, yes, I'm good.
I can walk.
I can get around.
But yeah, nothing will screw up your back
or your weak, like a bad back.
So.
Yeah, no, absolutely nothing.
So it does suck to not go to Yellowstone.
The good news is Yellowstone is still gonna be there.
So I'll go back at some other point.
But I'm very much looking forward to having a vacation where I just sleep in. Yeah. And that's my
vacation. Yeah. That's going to rock the staycation. Yeah. Um, okay. My fire fest is a combined
fire fest because I'm it's combined with max. He can chime in, uh, on Tuesday night when
we finished the show, I got up to go back to our cabin. And then all of a sudden, I feel a kick on my shin,
a light kick on my shin.
And it's Hank.
And I look down, I'm like, what?
And he just nods over.
Memes and Max.
Road games are awful for these guys.
So I just want to say this.
For all the AWLs I know, people are like, where's the show?
Where's the show?
It came out, I think, like 5 in the morning, six in the morning.
Road games, they basically have to work like twice as hard.
And it sucks for them.
I don't think they've even slept.
But there was a maybe hour and a half
that we thought we had lost the entire recording of the show.
I was thrilled.
Including Hank's Friday moment.
And it sucked.
We were just sitting here like, well, what are we?
I actually was going to say maybe we just don't even
re-record it because it would have been impossible to do.
To like...
Yeah, I can't, you can't, I'm a one take guy.
Right.
Can't produce gold like that twice.
But Max, how, can you tell me,
because we didn't talk after, on a scale of one to 10,
10 it's gone, it's never coming back to one, we're okay.
Where, what was the, where did it get to the worst?
The worst for me it got was,
it didn't work on Memes' computer,
and I was like, sometimes cards are weird
for certain computers, and then we tried it on my computer
and it didn't work, and then I got really nervous.
What was that at?
What was that, seven?
That was at like a,... well I never got too high because whenever something like this
happens it's just call Quigs. Call Quigs. And I called Quigs and the first thing he
asked was can you see the size of the file and I was like yes that's like the
file size makes complete sense he was like that's a great sign if it if the
file size was too small,
then it would have been gone forever.
But as soon as he said that, I felt pretty good.
Memes was freaking out throughout the entirety of it.
Was it your fault memes?
Or were you gonna get the blame?
It was nobody's fault.
No, I know it was nobody's fault,
but who's gonna get the blame if it had been gone?
It was tense.
We were just sitting here like, and there's nothing I can do
I don't know shit about any of this. I felt bad for you guys I
Guess me no
It was just the we were working with faulty equipment that I which it's what on days like so
To put in into perspective we bring this road kit, which is completely different
than what we have in our studio.
It's like very small so that we can travel
and like keep everything together.
So we woke up at like 5.30 that morning,
took a flight, filmed a round of golf, ate dinner,
and then immediately it's like, all right, you have to go.
You have very little time
to really test or do anything so we went and
We test we even tested like we tested the card for like five minutes and everything was fine And then we recorded and for some reason when we recorded the actual show something got fucked up
I I think I slept for an hour that night and memes I think slept for what?
I think I slept for an hour that night and memes I think slept for what?
Three three hours crazy, and then we've just been up since 6 a.m. I saw you guys
Like 7 o'clock. I was like, holy shit. You guys didn't sleep Yeah me so we're basically memes and I are just basically running on zero sleep right now boys
So yeah, I wanted to more defend you guys because I know obviously people we have the best fans ever but they
They're like where's the show where to show?
Whenever we're on the road just know it might come out a little later because they also deal with Wi-Fi and getting the shows up
We were the we also we're always working with hotel Wi-Fi
That is like a quarter of the of the speed that it is like in our normal studio
Yeah, when when max when there's a delay putting the show out
when we're out of the studio,
that's because Max is doing it intentionally
to mess with the listeners.
But we're on the road,
he's actually getting it out as soon as he possibly can.
What was the conversation like between you guys
to try to figure out like how you would break the news
in terms of whose fault it would be if it was lost?
Pete.
Pete.
Pete, yeah. Normally when it's a, it was lost. Pete. Pete. Pete, yeah.
Normally when it's a, something was fucked up with the,
I don't even know what, like,
we still don't know what happened.
I talked to Pete, he has no idea what happened.
Split it up.
Well it was also.
Two projects.
Yeah, it was very funny
because Hank's Spidey sense as a former producer,
still producer, but former producer as well,
he saw it before I saw it.
He saw them just talking, and he's like, there's a problem.
He knows what the hush tones mean.
Yeah, I mean, that's happened to me many times,
and it's the worst.
Yeah, so shout out to guys.
Shout out to the boys behind the cameras.
Shout out to Zach.
Zach, FireFest.
Big shout out to Maximemes.
I do have a show for you guys.
Are you guys familiar with the liver king?
Yeah, big steroids fake abs the whole thing eat raw liver eat the raw steak. We're in the documentary
We're current guys. Yeah, he came on to the dock. Yeah
Yeah, did you guys see that he has was arrested for being a terrorist and will not be a terrorist
Terroristic threats. Yeah, Helen's a rogan that we're gonna drive to the house
Maybe to the chest one to the head maybe a fistfight altercation situation. Yes There's a lot of different things that we're gonna do. There's a lot of different things that we're gonna do. There's a lot of different things that we're gonna do.
There's a lot of different things that we're gonna do.
There's a lot of different things that we're gonna do.
There's a lot of different things that we're gonna do.
There's a lot of different things that we're gonna do.
There's a lot of different things that we're gonna do.
There's a lot of different things that we're gonna do.
There's a lot of different things that we're gonna do.
There's a lot of different things that we're gonna do.
There's a lot of different things that we're gonna do.
There's a lot of different things that we're gonna do. don't eat raw meat because of that's what can happen. You can have a psychotic break. You might try
to eat more carbs and less protein. Yeah. Yeah. That's actually a good point. It's kind
of sad that like, you know, we live in the era of the true philosopher king with Joe
Rogan and liver king, two of our brightest minds and biggest health advocates. And to
see one of them go off the deep end like that, I don't take any pleasure in it, but I would
like to see the fight happen
Yeah, right like Joe Rogan would fuck about I think he takes me quick. Yeah, you think so. Yeah, he's a black belt Jiu-Jitsu
Well, the only thing I liver King smells so bad that Joe Rogan might get choked out by his odor true
I I gotta say I did not see the downfall liver King happening. I thought that guy was really headed altogether.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
I really thought he was just gonna keep being the Liver King.
In no way when we interviewed him was I like, oh yeah.
We are gonna find out it was some weird deer parasite that only exists in elk that are
found in southern Texas.
This guy, Zach is right.
If you wanna stay healthy, you gotta eat carbs
and anything that's been like highly manufactured.
High-fructose corn syrup, Red 40,
I keep your mind right.
Yeah.
I had dinner with the Little King.
You had dinner with him?
I went to his farm
and had dinner. No shit.
Like the gross dinners that he has.
Wait, you had to eat raw meat?
It wasn't raw meat.
It wasn't raw meat.
I forget, it was like, it was just like very much paleo
to the nth degree of like, it tasted like,
I feel bad because he has like a private chef
that like made the meal, but it tasted terrible.
It was when I was working for Caleb
for Sunday Conversation, we interviewed him
and then we ate dinner with him
and it was like one of the most bizarre things ever.
Being Liver King's chef,
that doesn't involve a lot of work, does it?
No.
You're a butcher.
He tried so hard to get us to eat the testicles
and no one ate them.
Good thing you didn't.
You would have been maybe trying to be a terrorist
towards Joe Rogan.
Yeah. So it could be a deer parasite, but based on one of the videos that he put out the other day
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say maybe maybe some methamphetamines. Yeah, his eyes were the eyes
Anytime you got more than two wounds on your face. Yeah, I automatically think you're doing biker crank
Yeah, you got some weird shit going on. All right. So yeah eat eat more carbs eat more carbs stay healthy
Yeah, okay good show boys
Let's finish with lottery ball back in the studio
Okay, we're back in studio for lottery balls
Sending you off on Friday
Reminder we have Dungeon & Dragons on Monday and then we have dingers only
Zack gallon and Dungeons and Dragons on Monday, and then we have Dingers only, Zach Gallin, and
Meryl Kelly and Joey Chestnut on Wednesday numbers. Three.
And so that's the schedule next week. We don't have a show on Friday. 99.
Memes was late for that because he was showing me a face swap that he did of me.
He was like, look.
I'm gonna go six.
Oh, oh wait, is that?
Yeah, I had to put floor
Wind horse that makes sense. I didn't look at it, too. It does kind of look like
Yeah, I just do that all of those are me. Yeah, all right. What uh what do you guys got there? Hey old 11, okay?
