On today's part of my take, we have our good, good friend, Ryan Rosillo, getting ready for the NBA Finals. Awesome time with him. Obviously we veer into different directions, but he's one of our favorite guests. We are because we're stuck in between like a time warp here where we're not in Mount Rushmore season, but we also just don't have any NBA finals or Stanley Cup finals games. We're going to rank something and we're going to rank something that's going to get everyone mad. We're going to rank QBs for the 2024 season.

and boys, we are stuck in a wormhole. It's purgatory. It's a purgatory. We're not in heaven, we're not in hell. We're just kinda waiting to get brought into heaven. Yes, we're waiting. Hopefully it's got a one in, one out policy, and they find out that somebody up there did something bad,

and then NBA finals is here. Yeah, I had it on Monday night, I was like, what the fuck am I supposed to watch? It's a little mini experience of how we get after the Super Bowl where there's no sports and then your mind just starts to wander and you go a little bit crazy. You start caring about a lot of stuff that you didn't care about before. But even I just need sports to get back. We spent an entire day talking about the WNBA. I know it was a lot. By the way, I don't want to say we told told you so but we told you so because I there were some people who were like

Why'd you guys talk about the WNBA on Sunday's Sunday nights pod and also like you guys are being pussies because you're not Calling out angel Reese enough or whatever. You know We were right the discourse got even worse on Monday it's bad. It got so fucking crazy. We had McAfee calling Caitlin Clark that white bitch. Yeah, but he said in a loving way. I agree. The context there, but you know, we've been, we've been, uh... It looked bad in a quote. We have, we have had moments where our context has been lost. Yeah. So it's

like, I am very sympathetic to Pat, but I also understand how he can get himself in that because the world's crazy and all these people are nuts and no one cares that Pat was saying it in a way that they didn't take it. It's always fun to start a sentence with, I deeply regret saying that white bitch. Yeah. Yeah. Nothing good is going to come from that apology. But we're on Pat's side.

We're on Pat's side. But I also think that if you were to print out a transcript of every part of my take and then read it aloud or not read it aloud, like put it on a television and see the words that we say, we would probably be in prison. Yeah. And then we had Stephen A. Smith getting absolutely owned on his own show. And then to top it all off, this is the end of our WNBA talk,

but to top it all off, this is more just, again, the discourse has gotten so out of hand. Just play basketball. Let's just talk about basketball. This was from the Chicago Tribune editorial board. The foul committed by Chicago Sky guard, Chennedy Carter on Caitlin Clark was egregious. Outside of a sporting event, it would have been seen as an assault. Yeah. Just shut the fuck up.

Have you ever seen a tackle in the NFL? Just shut the fuck up. They literally, that's basically everything that would happen inside of a sporting event would be assault if it happened outside of a sporting event. How about a 99 mile an hour fastball at someone's head? Just somebody getting onto a train, just being them. Well how about hockey? How about fighting in hockey?

Yeah. Can you imagine, I was talking to Tice about this the other day, imagine if there were fights in the NBA, people would fucking hate fighting in the NBA. But hockey school, I love it. I wish it happened in the NBA. I wish it happened in the WNBA. Just square up. Yeah, square up.

But either way, we were right on that. We were in this time wormhole that sucks. So we're gonna do something that's gonna make it suck even more and people will get more mad at us. We're gonna rank the 2024 starting quarterbacks. We do have an NBA preview finals preview with Rossello coming up. Yes. We do also have a Stanley Cup final preview with Ryan Whitney of Oilers fame coming on Friday.

While we're covering it, while we're doing this, while we're doing the rankings, if you are not interested in talking about NFL quarterbacks in the month of June, can we just have the Edmonton Oilers fan just like split screen? She's just on it and then so she'll be on it too while we're talking about about NFL. Also if you are not interested in ranking quarterbacks Get out. Yeah, that's good. I could you could just sit down at any bar in America. You could put me in any airport Uber if someone just starts saying I think this guy's better than this guy, it's like, all right, let's do it. And what's going to be great is how mad people will get.

Oh yeah. So let's make people mad. Yeah. Okay. So we got to start at the bottom, right? Or do we go at the top? Oh, so we're doing all 32. All right, we don't have to do all 32. I think we should do all 32. We could rip, you know what we could do? We could do the cheat code of saying all the rookies are at the bottom

No, I don't agree with that. Oh, you don't know cuz Daniel Jones is good Well, here's what you get to do you get to say like CJ Stroud He proved to us last year that being a rookie is no excuse. Yeah, you can still be one of the best That's true. Are you saying this because you I'm a shroud boy currently have a rookie quarterback I'm talking about CJ Stroud. okay precedent that he said I'm just curious you should you just do the top time do 31 just make one fan base really really mad ooh there's their QB well we have to but then when we when we number it we have to skip a number so you see 32 yeah I like that yeah I like that all right what

what fan base should we decide to do it? Should we piss off? Should we just do the Falcons? Michael Pinnix? Oh, we should put Michael Pinnix as the starter. No, Kirk Cousins, I firmly believe he should be number 16. Okay. Why don't we do the Giants? That's perfect. Okay, Giants 32? No, no, no. No Daniel Jones.

Okay. On the list. And then there will be a 32 and we'll like skip number 26 all right. Yep, I mean it's gotta be the Broncos Bonix yeah, so bonix will be 32. Yeah. All right, so we put bonix 32 Let's put bonix 32 and then we'll work back from there. Okay, Alex. O'Connell. Is he the starter? back from there. Okay. Alex O'Connell. Is he the starter? Aiden O'Connell. Alex O'Connell. I mix up my AOCs. Is he the starter? Only part of him I take athlete. Sure. And IL history. That's true. Yeah. Aiden O'Connell. Wait, no, no, no. Minshew. Oh yeah. Minshew. Minshew.

Yep. Okay. How quickly we forget. Right? Isn't Gardner Minshew a raider? Yeah, he is a raider. So I think we go, so 32 is Bo Nix, 31 Minshew. It's kind of disrespectful to Minshew a raider. He is a raider. So I think we go. So, so 32 is bone X 31 Minshew. It's kind of disrespectful to Minshew. Yeah. Very disrespectful. Okay. So Marriota. No, he's a backup. This is an awesome top 10 price price young. Okay. I like that. Bryce Young's 31 who knows what will show us this year. Yes all we all we have to go on is what has been presented to us. All right, Bo Nix 32 Bryce Young 31 Uh, I think then we should do we should just do the rookie quarterbacks. I think we should rip through them Don't you think that's fair? Yeah, but it's important who's at the who's at the top of the list. Yeah

So you're putting a OC out of all these rookies. Oh, yeah. Yeah it mints you. So all right. Here we go. 32 bone X 31 Bryce Young 30 Gardner mints you 29 is when we start all the rookie starters. Okay. So the worst rookie starter. Who do you think that is? JJ McCarty. Should we just go by draft order? I'd be fine. Yeah, I'm fine with that. I'm cool with that. I think that is? JJ McCarthy? Should we just go by draft order? I'd be fine with that. Yeah, I'm fine with that. I'm cool with that. I think that's a good way to do it.

I'm fine with that. OK, we agree. All right, so that's easy. We're already ripping through this. All right, so Spencer Rattler. Are you ranking this right now for us live? I'm ready. Can you do a Notes app, Max, so that we can just

have it live in front of us? Because we are going to get very confused. Mm-hmm. Very, very confused. I already am. Yeah. Already very confused. But I think we've got this.

So 30, just to rehash where we're at, 32, Bo Nix, 31, Bryce Young, 30, Gardner Minshew, and then at 29, we're going to start with JJ then 28 Drake May 27 Jade McDaniels. Jade and Daniels. Why do I say McDaniels? Why do I say Jade McDaniels? He's a basketball player. Yeah, he's a basketball player. And then skip 27 or actually no, skip 26.

Do 27 Jadeaden Daniels 26 Kale Williams then skip 25 because that way cuz they're all linked together will be confusing I like how we put bownecks as a rookie. Yeah in last place. Yep. All right, so 24 Okay, who else we got out there at the dare cars. That's It's not not a bad bad question We do have a friend. There's a lot of really good court to Sean Watson. He's not our friend. Yeah, let's put to Sean Yeah, put your Sean. Let's put to Sean at 23 Yeah, I like that. Oh, no. Yeah. Okay now 22 Russell Wilson. Yes. Yes

We're actually ripping through this. We are. 21, let's go Anthony Richardson. Yeah. I like him. Yeah. We got to be fair. 20 should be Will Levis. Mm-hmm. OK.

Trevor Lawrence, 19. He was bad last year. I don't know if we go Trevor Lawrence, 19. Gino? Oh, yeah, Gino. Gino Fitchley, 19. Venti Law? Hmm. Kyler. Gino, Gino Fitch in the 19. Then T-Law? Hmm.

Kyler. Kyler, we forgot about Kyler. Yeah. Yeah, Kyler. Okay, we're doing a job. So 18 is Kyler, 17. By the way, we're definitely gonna get to the end and fuck this up, but that's okay. That's okay.

That's part of the process. We're doing this right now, guys. Like, attack here. Attack, yeah, attack here. Attack're doing this right now guys. Like Dak here. Dak. Dak. Dak. Dak right behind Kirk Cousins. Yes. Hank, you get a call on one as well because he just uses Dak call.

Okay. So 16, should we go Kirk Cousins? Yeah, 16 should be Kirk. Yep. Right exactly in the middle. And then 15, Trevor Lawrence. 14, Baker Mayfield. Yep.

Love that. People are going to get so mad. Love that. Love that. 13 Stafford. Yep. Okay. 12 Tua. Tua. Tua fits there. Rogers too. Rogers is hurt. Yeah, outside the top 10. Yeah. Scroll up a little bit. Rogers. I like this list. This is going to make some people mad. Jordan Love. We want to put him in here anywhere. I Rogers, I like this list. This is going to make some people mad. Jordan Love, we want to put him in here anywhere. I mean, if I have to be honest, he's definitely top 10. So that's a problem. You can tell Packers fans, I put him in my top 10. Okay. Yeah. You know what, Jordan? Jaylen Hurts.

Oh, you want Jaylen Hurts at 10? That's your call, Hank? Yeah. I mean, I think he's already He had no other call he had no other call it's call All right, put him in ten head of Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, good. That's pretty good. No max put him in Jalen hurts ten You got your deck pick Is best Brock Brock still available? Oh, yeah, Brock's still available. There's almost rocks higher than nine Oh Eagles fans are gonna be so mad rock is higher than nine Should we should we should we say? Jared at some point just to show that we're not completely

Biased Or you're a cank. All right, we'll save. I just came up in. All right, we'll save Jared Herbert Herbert nine. Okay injured. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's like good quarterbacks in the there's a lot of good quarterbacks in the NFL Okay, maybe Jared at Jared at seven. I like Jared at seven that feels okay. So put with Brock at eight Brock at eight Jared at, Jordan Love at six. I feel like that's rounded out pretty nice. Jordan Love I think should be. Jared should be ahead of Jordan Love.

Yes. So Jordan Love at seven, Jared Goff at six. Six, yep. Love that. I love that for us. It's perfect. Perfect ranking. Okay, after that, let's see.

Joe is probably, I'm gonna put Joe top five. Yep. I'm gonna put Josh top five. I think it goes, I think, all right, I'll give you my top five. You can tell me this is crazy. I think based on injuries and not being around right now, I think it has to go Joe, CJ Stroud, Lamar, Josh, Mahomes. I'm also okay if you want to switch Lamar and Josh,

just so that way people can't say the Glazen's crazy. Let's flip CJ and Joe. OK. I think put CJ at five. Joe at four. Do you want to go Josh at three, that way people can't accuse us? Let's do that.

That way we cover our bases. I would... Josh, if you're listening to this, you're definitely too. I would rather I would rather have Josh than Lamar. Okay, yeah I would too. Alright, so yeah, Josh has to be too. Yeah. I... dude. Josh has come closer to winning in the playoffs than Lamar has. I think this might be the perfect quarterback list because we did just enough to piss people off where it's also still looks real. And you would never know that Daniel Jones isn't on there. Yep.

I forgot. I honestly forgot that Daniel Jones wasn't on there at all. Yeah. What do you think, out of all these rankings, which one do you think will make the most people angry? Dak, for sure. Yeah. Dak, for sure.

Dak behind. Jalen Hurts as well. Jalen Hurts will get Philly mad. Baker ahead of Trevor. Yeah. People get upset about that. Jalen at 10. Yeah.

And the thing is, people will get mad at Justin Herbert at number 9. But if you look at the names in front of him, I agree with our list. Yeah. Yeah. I like it. I like it a lot.

OK, we did it. Yeah, good job. Good list. We fucking crushed that list, boys. Okay, do you want to do the... So we'll put that on a graphic. We'll put it out there. Memes, you got any problem with this list? You think Rodgers should be higher? No, it looks like a good list. Rodgers will prove that he's the number one quarterback this year. Oh, he's better than Patrick Mahomes. Yeah Patrick miles never beat him in playoffs. Okay, so that leads me to the next thing that I was gonna spring on you someone Let me see if I have the name because I want to shout them out When we asked for lists this person had a very good idea with the list

Oh, yeah, it I'm gonna shout out JMB four seven two three one nine eight eight the list. Oh yeah, I'm going to shout out jmb47231988. Shout out jmb47231988. That sounds like a burner. Shout out that guy. He said he would like to hear, pardon my take, to a list of things that would be a real shame. Oh, that's good. That's really good. All right. Uh, if it would, it would be a real shame if memes the guy he just said is going to be the number one quarterback got hurt on Monday Night Football for the

second straight year. It would be that would be a real shame. A real shame. A real shame. I think if the Celtics get swept, that would be a real shame. We gotta make a, we're gonna make a graphic of this. It'd be a real shame. That would be a real shame. That'd be a real shame.

If the beer Olympics got canceled. That would be a real shame. A real shame. That would be one of the biggest shames God damn. I've ever had to feel deep down in my soul. I'd be so mad. That would be a real shame.

You know what would be a real shame? Is if Jake's Twitter account accidentally did the Ray Allen tweet. That would be a real fucking shame. Somebody logged into it. That would be a real shame. I'm proud of myself for holding my ground on that one. Yeah, but imagine if someone had gotten your password and tweeted that. That would be a real shame. I'll say one personally.

It would it would it would be a very big shame if Caleb Williams wasn't good. Yeah it would be. It would be it would be a really big shame. You know what would be a real shame. If like first week of training camp with hard knocks there Caleb Williams got injured. I don't like and then all of hard knocks. But I'm saying like and then we had to watch Hard Knocks for four weeks and it was all about Caleb Williams getting hurt. That'd be such a shame. That would be a shame. It'd be a real shame.

Shut up about, that's not what we wrote Max. Max wrote down Caleb Williams was Ben Simmons. That's not what we wrote. That would be a shame. That was not what we wrote. But that would be. No, that would be not what we wrote. That would be no that would be not what we wrote I thought that was just good for what we were saying

Yeah, would be a real shame if Jalen Hurts wasn't the guy Wouldn't it it would be wouldn't it definitely max? That would be a shame. Yeah, no, okay. I'm writing it down be a shame if the Phillies started to play actual teams. Oh Well, it's a real shame that they beat the first place Brewers last night. Oh, of the NL Central? You got to make a line somewhere. The NL Central sucks dude. Who's good? The Dodgers? Haven't played them yet. Okay, Yankees. They're different, not even the same league. Okay, but you just asked who's good and I just gave you two teams Yeah, but you played you only play the other league once a year Padres sneaky not bad beat the Padres

How many times I think we swept them Mariners are pretty good other league Orioles are really good Yes Orioles are really that would be a sweep of the Padres, okay Orioles are really good. Yes. Orioles are really good. That would be a sweep of the Padres. Okay, Orioles are really good. You want to say anything about the Orioles? The other league, I don't know what you want me to say.

Guardians and the Royals are good. You're really good at saying the other league. Just finding out the NL sucks. Other things that would be a real shame. Yeah, I mean the NL Central is really bad. The Cubs are still in second place in their, they've lost like a billion games in a row. Hank, you got any real shames?

Oh, it would be a shame if Hank couldn't dunk. Yeah, it'd be a real shame if I paid all this money to get trained and then didn't dunk and had to pay even more money. Oh, that would suck. It would be. That would suck. It'd be a real shame if something happened to Mr. Pear. Oh

It would be a shame Write it down. This is something happened. I didn't say what I said something This is all we're gonna rank these or we just like are we just no it's just things that would be a real shame Be a real shame It would be it would be a real shame. It would be. It would be a real shame if the part of my take account tweeted out the sad Max picture four more times this week. Oh, no. That will, that's the most likely to happen.

Yeah, that is true. That is most likely to happen for sure. Mm. It'd be a real shame if Joel Embiid asked for a trade. It would be. Wouldn't it? Real shame. That would be a real shame if Joel Embiid asked for a trade. It would be. Wouldn't it? Real shame. That would be a real goddamn shame. It would be a real shame if Joel Embiid was starting at center for the USA and we lost

in the championship game to Gokuch. Oh man. I'm also not going to that game, didn't realize that town is four hours away from Paris. That's crazy. How is it the Paris Olympics and the game is four hours away? When it's the Atlanta Olympics, they've got games all over the country I was that's bullshit that should that shouldn't be the case okay veto veto huh all right let him know let him know any other shames hmm real shame

if shame if PFT was better at golf than Hank and be ashamed that would be shames it'd be a shame if Hank's next vacation to an island He went to Turks and Caicos and forgot that he had ammunition in his suitcase. Oh That would be a shame. It would be a shame if when the John Daly video came out if everyone just watched the first two holes That'd be a real shame. It'd be a real shame. It'd be a real shame if you hypothetically went to a Tom Brady's retirement ceremony and didn't meet him with any thought you might. Oh no, is that?

No, it's not. It would be a real shame. But is that a concern? I don't know. I think so. No, this is... I feel good about it. I don't know.

You know what I have to say? That would absolutely be a real shame. I know. Is it like a wedding where if somebody comes to your retirement you have to shake everyone's hand you have to say hi To everyone no, there's there's a chance. There's a non-zero chance. Do you have a present for? Myself my present is a present my presence is a present you should bring a present to a man's retirement ceremony You give him a formal invitation to part of my take oh, yeah, yeah print it out. Let's print it out And we'll get like a nice envelope. That Oh, yes. Yeah. Print it out. Let's print it out. We'll get like a nice

envelope. That's like a yes. Yes. Celebrities love it when you hand him envelopes. No, I'm thinking like the Grammys envelope where they put a seal on it. Make sure you tell him no anthrax in this. It's here. You say it'd be a shame. Maybe right on the front. It'd be a shame if there was anthrax in this because that would be a shame just say hand it to him hang it say here you go it's safe is this is that a thing with envelopes what do you mean oh you know about the anthrax scare oh never caught the guy that did it yeah you're not uh you know old enough I guess right after 9-eleven somebody sent a bunch of anthrax to like Capitol Hill post office yeah yeah. Yeah. Real scary. Yep. Real

scary. Real shame if some real shame. Already mail just stopped existing. It's the dumbest thing in the world. Wait, so that wouldn't be a shame. Be real shame. Do you know what we're doing here? Yeah, yeah. Like, it'd be a real shame if you crashed a boat this summer. Yes. Like it would be a real shame if you crashed a boat this summer. Yes It would be It's a good addition to the list

Jake you have any real shames for us It'd be a real shame if Max got the lottery ball. Oh, oh no Shit I Shame if he got it would be never guy That's not what he said I wrote that what he said See how it see how it's phrased differently Yeah, it'd be a real shame if Max just literally never got the lottery ball. Real shame. Real shame.

Jake had one shot. I know, but. That's okay. That's okay. It'd be a real shame if Vanny Woodhead showed up at our doorstep and there was a bomb inside. Oh, that would be a big shame. It'd be a big shame. It'd be a big shame.

Also pretty funny move. Yeah. By Billy. That would be a hack. Also a good that would be a big shame. Big shame. Big shame. Also pretty funny move. Yeah. Billy. That would be also a good chance that never gets here. Yeah. Also very good chance. Yes. Because Billy somehow has in his head that once it gets here, we're going to fire him. Yeah. Like what? How does he think that has he thought for the last five years that Vanny woodhead's existence kept his job? Maybe he's been holding us off. So I think that's exactly what he's been thinking. Okay, anyone? Any else? Me memes? You got one? You got a good one? Come on memes. Can't hear your memes. Gary memes. He just said I'm trying to think Oh, no. Be a

real shame if we podcasted extra long as I had to miss softball. That would be a shame. Wait, what? Why? Why are you long as I had to miss softball That would be a shame. Wait, what why are you saying? Trying to miss softball. No, we're talking about things. That would be a real shame. That would be a real shame Same. That'd be a real real shame That'd be a real shame Be real shame if something happened to Charlotte the stingray. Oh Man, by the way, you see the update what she was never pregnant. Yeah, I was I was right He told us that no, there's a new update. Oh the aquariums have deja vu

Yeah, I feel like you said that on Sunday the aquarium admitted to it. Oh got it. They admitted Oh, did I say that the yeah, I'm disease pretty sure you did. Yeah. All right There's a chance that was off-camera, but I don't think it will be a real shame if we kept on getting Charlotte's Singray updates. We won't. It's final. Oh no. Memes finish this off. I was gonna say it'd be a shame if my dick got bigger. That doesn't really work. But yeah. Yeah. I said the max. I don't think I know. I want to say it. No, I'm keeping it. I'm keeping it. That doesn't work. It would work. Like it would work more if like it'd be a real shame if if Max and memes posted the video

of us golfing when I flash in my tiny penis. That would actually be a shame. That would be a shame. That would be a shame. Every time we go golfing, Max and memes get me peeing. And then every time they get me peeing, I just turn around and say, we can't use this anymore. This is also just Big Cat admitting to workplace harassment. No, it's not. You guys are harassing me first.

He was peeing. He was clearly peeing. I'm fighting harassment with harassment. You were videotaping me peeing. That's harassment. This also all started by the first golf video we did. I went to go piss and you said, look, get that fat man peeing over there. I don't recall.

I don't recall. That doesn't sound like something I do not recall. I've hung out with Big Cat for the last seven years. That doesn't sound like words that would come out of my mouth. No chance I said that. Yeah, no. Max and memes have my penis on camera many times in their hard drives that they could just... You can put that on Twitter now. They could just put... I actually... I'm doing you guys a favor. I'm giving you guys blackmail.

Like, you guys could just walk up to me one day and just be like, Hey, remember all those times you flashed us? I got them all. And now the internet's just going to be like release. By the way, the flash comes from like 30, 30, 40 feet away. It's not right in the face. I saw the size of it. It's no one. Yeah. You can barely see. No one would accuse you blackmail. It'd be white male. Yeah. It's, it it's it's hardly a flash. It's hardly a flash Uh, all right. That was good. Yeah good good list two good lists shout out. Hold on. Let me let me get this We're so we're so productive. Look at us. Let me get that guy again. Shout out jmb47231988 You know what? I might give him a follow

Definitely a burner his last tweet was from March 6, 2024, just hashtag Clemmer. I like that. What's your favorite one out of all of these? That was probably during the stream that he did. Yeah. My favorite one out of all these? Can I give you a real answer or a fake answer? Beard Olympics getting canceled. That would be such a shame. That would be my fake answer.

My real answer, out of all of these, if Hank crashed a boat. That would be a shame. That would be a shame. That would be a shame, dude. That would be a fucking shame. That would be so... I don't like how we're just hooking this up.

This is the best thing. Fucking shit that will be so I don't like how we're just No, but big say like if he if he wasn't it was it was it was it was I don't want Yeah, Jake. I'm not thinking like okay crash dies. I'm just gonna get he has to pay for a whole book I don't memes I don't know if you got the the camera on Hank's face after the crack he did the cam Newton okay? Yeah, okay. Yeah, I see how it is. Quite literally. I just saw that in real life and it was Hank. I believe in you. You're not going to crash. There's no way that you crash both this summer. Yeah. Zero percent chance. No, the number one is a clear one. One is it would be such a shame if the beer Olympics got canceled.

Like that would be, that would break my heart. That would break my heart. I don't know how I would actually, I don't know how I'd heart. I don't know how I would actually, I don't know how I'd recover. I don't know how I'd move on if it somehow got canceled. And the only way it would get canceled is if enough people backed out. And I think we're pretty close to that. So no one else back out.

Or else it might get canceled. Right. And we don't want that because it would be a shame. Don't do it. Yeah. It'd be, one more, it'd be a shame if Miley Cyrus came on the podcast. Yeah, that would be a shame. That would be a shame. Don't do it. Yeah. It'd be one more. It'd be a shame if Miley Cyrus came on the podcast. Yeah, that would be a shame. That would be a shame.

It's on our mind because when you listen to Rosillo, we got into some boat talk. I do not want that. No, it's fine. Yes, you do. No, I do not. No, no. You made your major truth known and that's fine. I am saying right now, I do not want that. No, it's fine. Yes, you do. You know, I do not. No, no. You made your major truth known and that's fine. I'm saying right now I do not

want that. But you already you can't you can't have it both ways. No, I'm not. I said it was a shame. Now I'm saying to you, those are the same thing. So would it be a shame or would it not be a shame? It would 100% be a shame. Right. So that's yeah. That's your real answer. I feel like we're saying this. no. It's a shame. It's a shame is a bad thing I don't want it the question was which one do you want to happen? I don't I don't want you to get in any boating incidents got it Wink got it. No. I'm not winking. He's winking. Look at me. I'm not winking winking The wink was for beer Olympia. Yes, we're waiting for beer. There was no wink for just winked. I'm not winking. Winking. The wink was for beer. Olympus. Yeah. The weird winks for beer. There was no wink for, for just winked. I did not just wink. I think we're saying

again, I think we can all agree if Hank gets into a small boating accident, that'd be very funny. No, no, I think it'd be a shame if I were to laugh at this. Shame if you guys asked me to come out and I remember this conversation, uh, that would be a shame. That would add to the list. We ask Hank to take us out on his boat and he remembers the shame list. That would be a shame. For the record, I had nothing to do with the boat. Oh, look at it. We're distancing ourselves. Okay, Hank, your hot seat. My hot seat is Conor McGregor. Yeah, there was supposed to be a scheduled press conference for UFC 303 that got postponed on Monday And then this is from a random MMA account. So

Some of these things might not be a hundred percent true But it says UFC is no longer being advertised on pay-per-view UFC has privated the Connor McGregor free fight videos posted a few days ago McGregor and Dana White have been silent and Michael Chandler is posting self-help quotes on Instagram so it's not looking great for UFC 303 unless this is all the work so what is the speculation that McGregor has been injured injured aka hungover I don's over. I don't know. I mean It's tough to see that video of him just On a bunch of Molly at the club two weeks ago and allegedly yeah. Oh, yeah, he was yeah

I could just been chilling but uh It's all good. No, that's not looking good. I Really wanted to see this fight. I'm very upset also Stephen a Smith that that clip also went viral of him and Shannon sharp talking on first take and Stephen a Smith was like Conor McGregor should not be going against a grappler and in the UFC fans were like Very upset that even a Smith was breaking down. He's trying to talk talk talk punch Yeah, you can't do that Stephen. I can't't do that. You don't know fist. You don't know it. Ah, and then my cool thrown is the Peaky fucking Blinders. Alright, do the whole thing in your accent.

The Peaky fucking Blinders? Ah, let me read the press release. Tommy Shelby returns. A Peaky Blinders film starring Sillian Murphy is coming to Netflix. I said bad I got the peaky fucking blind spot. It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn't finished with me It is very gratifying to be recalibrating with Steven Knight and Tom Hopper on the film version of peaky fucking blinders This one is for the fans Love that I'm excited for this. Yeah, which that was silly Murphy that said that that was the official Netflix account Tweeted that I don't know who the quote is by I'm assuming the director Peaky Blinders was such a good show and With no spoilers, you know, it's been out for a long time. I

Love the way they like ended it. I mean there can't really be spoilers because there's a movie but I Just I loved it. I love that show. It's a great idea for this movie. It's a great show It's also gonna make me want to smoke all the cigarettes. Yes. Yes It's gonna be real shame if I start smoking again real shame real shame real shame real shame Real shame that's the one is coming up. I Don't know. Oh, you just gave us a bad accent and didn't give us any details? It was a great show. Everyone had Peaky Blinders films starring Silly and Murphy

is coming to Netflix. Oh, OK. So Netflix, great. Important question. I'm assuming that the answer is yes on Netflix. But are we going to get subtitles? Have to. Because you have to watch Peaky Blinders with subtitles.

Yeah. And it counts as reading a book every episode you see. Yeah, bro. I watch everything with subtitles. Everything. Sports? Not sports. So I guess not everything. Anything?

Anything streaming. Comedy is usually a stand-up no. Oh, like a sitcom? Yes. Pornography. Yes. Subtitles? Yes.

Oh, fuck. You're going to make me come? Yeah. Yes. Yeah.ography. Yes. Subtitles. Yes. Oh fuck, you're going to make me cum? Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Put it in there. Yeah, no, stand up you can't because it goes too fast.

So they'll say the punchline before sitcom. I don't really care because it's not like the same punch of a punchline. I can't do a sitcoms. Can't do it. Yeah, I need it. I just get, I lose, I lose too much. I realized that like when I'm not using subtitles I just zone out way too often. So you did tires with yep subtitles

They that one was actually timed up perfectly. It wasn't it wasn't like the punchlines were coming too fast. Okay. Yeah Tires was great. By the way, go watch it. Yeah. Yeah all the guys All right. My hot seat is actually vaping. Oh vaping is on the hot seat Did you see the picture of the golfer over the weekend? The female golfer? Yes. Charlie Hull. Yes. So she went viral. She was ripping a dart as she was signing autographs for kids, by the way, which is awesome. So she was smoking a cigarette, signing autographs. Somebody took her picture and then reported that she is smoking cigarettes to help her quit vaping, which, respect, we've all been there. Okay. Or some of us have been there. Yeah. But then it went viral and now she's like, yeah, I don't really see it. It's not that much of a big deal. My father smokes 40 cigarettes a day and he has for 25 years and he's 75. And my brother who's 25 also smokes 20 cigarettes a day. So she's European though. I feel like it's different rules. Better tobacco. I do think like there's something to be said about like jeans. They could just have jeans that are just cigarettes. Don't bother them.

Yeah. So she actually sounds very healthy. She's in shape. She goes to the gym. She doesn't drink, but she does smoke. I feel like that's just one of one. Nobody does that. Yeah, she does. But she's trying to smoke so that she stops. They know people that quit drinking. That's all they do. Well, yeah, true. That's fair. But they did drink. Yeah, one point. I don't think anybody is like, you know what, I'm just going to smoke cigarettes and not drink at all as my lifestyle. So she used to vape. She wanted to stop vaping. And even though smoking is not better than vaping, she says it's so you can vape indoors all the time. So you do it more often. So that's

why she's smoking cigarettes. That's a very fair. It's true. When can vape indoors all the time. So you do it more often. So that's why she's smoking cigarettes That's a very fair. It's true when you vape you wake up in the morning. What's the first thing you do? You hit the vape. What's the last thing you do before you go to bed after you think you're already in bed Oh, you lean over you grab the vape the vape one last thing before I go to sleep She's right about that. Yeah the act of having to go outside. Mm-hmm And she said I thought if I smoke I'm going to go outside and smoke a cigarette When it's a slow round of go on the golf course, I smoke quite a few more than I should Smoking on the golf course. I think it's fine. Yep. I think it rocks in fact, but then she said but listen

I will stop soon. It's just when she's not gonna stop. No, she's gonna stop. She's She's a yes, she'll stop eventually. She'll stop eventually, but I respect her. Charlie Hull is my new favorite golfer. Yep My cool throne is Threesomes Threesomes are back. Have you heard about this? What happened? It just reported that the city of New York has invented threesomes. Okay, they call them menage à trois It's a New York term and they invented that term. Yes, that does sound New Yorkish. It's a New York term. They invented that term. Yep, that does sound New York-ish. It's very New York. So apparently people are having threesomes in New York.

It's a trend piece in the New York Post. Oh. And they're like, guess what's hot this summer? They're calling it the summer of threesomes. So this New York Post and this writer are the biggest loser of all time? It's because of the Zendaya movie. It's because of Challengers. The tennis.

The tennis. The tennis threesome. Was that a guy, girl, guy, guy, guy, girl. Yeah. Guy, girl, guy. Yeah. Same thing. Were you asking about like their body positions? Like if you're capturing it. I said guy, girl, guy, and you said guy, guy, girl. Yeah. So it's, it's guy, guy, girl. Is that what you were thinking, Hank? Eiffel Tower.

Eiffel Tower is probably more likely. Right. But the guys in the middle. There's it was it was guy, guy, girl. Got it. But they're back. Yeah. New York Post is all over this. I think they found like three of their friends that had threesomes recently. Like, hey, would you like to have a New York Post article? Yeah, have you ever just lived on planet earth really?

I love to have a threesome threesomes like Katie anything in the in the articles like Katie from Williamsburg says shit She just had her first one a couple weeks ago. Yeah, that's not a real threesome person though Like they they just got into because the movie Do you think real orgy people are like looking down their nose at the new threesome people and they're like you're just a Challenger's fan You're not yeah the actual lifestyle. Yeah, like I'm about this shit. I'll say it I I wouldn't I wouldn't want to have a threesome. It's a lot of work. I just like double the disappointment. No, thank you It's a lot of work. It's just oh, okay. I can have like I would just be sitting on the sideline Just being like alright, I'm out

I would just be sitting on the sideline just being like, all right, I'm out very quickly. And then they just, it's just lesbian sex? Okay, that's fine. But like, it doesn't go, how you think it goes in your head wouldn't go how it went in real life. What are you looking for, Hank? Someone stole my donuts. Oh, someone stole your donuts?

I said that. I was bringing them to the front desk. I need them. For what? I had to shoot a video for Kane's donuts. I brought them in here so front desk. I need them I had to shoot on I just shoot a video for for Cain's doughnuts I brought them in here so that people wouldn't take them I sweat I said that in front of this group We were just having we were just podcasting while they're just looking for yeah, I need my doughnut You don't understand

I would be yeah, I for yeah kill. It's for you I understand, but I'd be killed if I see the words ever came out of my mouth I need my donuts you do though okay well that's a different thing Hank John Keynes anything else you'd like to add to threesome talk no I'm dying publicity for Kane's just getting they literally were the girl and the guy guy guy girl threesome they're getting glazed right in the middle glazed oh yeah yeah I just saw the donuts I was like those are gonna sit in here forever I'm'm going to sit in here forever. No, I literally brought them in here for a purpose. Can you please get them? Thank you.

You know what though? I think a threesome would be better than a foursome. If it's a foursome where it's two guys, two girls, then that's just group sex. I don't know. Tag team match? No, because then you're always like that other guy's so much better than I am. That would suck. That would be bad. That would be be bad That would if it's so what if it was tag team match tag team? Yeah, just like close your eyes and well No, like I'm done tag. Oh, yeah, you just get you it's like it's like a pitching rotation, right? You get a setup man than a closer. Yeah, you do the finishing move. I've already done my finishing move We just read just rung the bell. Yeah, that wouldn't be bad. But if it's a threesome listen, you're disappointed two women I've disappointed multiple women right in my life not to brag

There's there's just not there's no way it would play out in my head or how it plays out in everyone's head in fantasy There's just reality would just be awkward me just sitting on the side like I'd probably be getting dressed while they're still Threesomeing mm-hmm, or I guess it would be two swimming Also, just a possible to think about two girls being interested in that with you I think if I were I can't yeah, yeah like and on what planet would two girls be like, you know We should all do together. Yeah, you have to like suspend belief when it's just one woman Yeah, like I want to see you naked right your naked body Pressing against mine and to tell me that there's two girls at the same time on planet Earth that want to do that to me

Is that something's fishy here. Now that I'm saying it, I don't even think that you would be able to qualify me in a threesome. It would be a twosome featuring me. You know, I'd have like a feature like lyric. Yeah. Or bar. Yeah.

Like, oh, is he on that song? Oh, okay, cool. You do the remix of it? Yeah. They're doing their thing and then occasionally you get on top and you smooch. Yeah, right. Exactly. You're doing great. Yeah. Add them on the head. All right. My hot seats is, I got two of them. First is San Diego Padres infielder Tukipita, help me Jake, Tukipita Marcano, who has been banned from baseball for gambling. And Marcano won only 4.3% of the 231 MLB related bets he placed.

So I guess it's also a cool thrown for me because I'm not the worst gambler. Was he taking wild prop? Had to have been parlays. Had to have been crazy parlays. Crazy, crazy. Yeah, that's not. So if you're that bad at your bets though, I feel like they should look the other way. Yeah. Ipe came out and he's guilty, or he admitted guilt. So they're not even going to go to trial. MLB said case closed.

Case closed. Now you could say, oh, he's the fall guy, but I think he's up to like 33 years in jail. That's a lot of jail. If he is a fall guy, I think think he's up to like 33 years in jail That's a lot of jail if he is a fall guy I think he is the best fall guy of all time ever he committed like Sapuku fall fall guy Hall of Fame Yeah, yeah the goat, but yeah four point three percent of his 231 MLB related bets is insane Hank you're upset about the don't upset about someone ate the doughnut I was gonna use this one is upset about the doughnuts. Way to go Max. Not Diva Hank. Way to go Max.

And then my other hot seat. I wouldn't take his stuff out of the booth. Yeah, that's true. My other hot seat is this random guy's Best friend who I don't know if you guys saw this it made me laugh last night when I was scrolling Twitter. This guy Mr. F Boyer wrote I laughed last night when I was scrolling Twitter. This guy, Mr. F. Boyer, wrote, when I was 30, my best friend and I partied super hard and had the sort of crazy nights you only fantasize about. Now we're 46, I'm married with kids, he's still partying. We hung out tonight and I assure you, he's a loser.

Okay? What a fucking dickhead thing to put out there. Yeah, that is, bad friend. Yeah, my best friend's a loser. That's tough Yeah, I said that it was just some guy named F Boyer I don't know It just made me laugh because it was just like then he he replied a million times to people being like you sound like a bad Friend he's like I'm talking about him not evolving as a person. It's like no, dude. You just you just called him a loser

Yeah, that's bad friend. I thought for a second. That was a euphemism you were using for somebody that we knew no no It's literally F. Boyer F. Boyer this guy kind of sucks. Don't be friends with that guy a bad dude bad, dude Also, you already were a loser because you said the phrase I partied super hard and had the sort of crazy nights You only fantasize about mm-hmm cool, dude. That means that while he was partying with you, he hated you. Yeah, which we can tell now. Yeah. And then my cool throne, reverse of this, because this guy sucks. My cool throne is dudes, because- They rock. We are in the works of, and it's going to be a Barstool sports joint, PMT will be big behind it, Jersey Jerry started Dude Fest.

So this happened last night, our friend Jerry tweeted out, they should start an OnlyFans but for guys, not sexual or gay, just like if you want to meet new guy friends to hang out, smoke cigars, watch sports, golf, etc. This tweet probably sounds really gay and I'm not sure why I'm even tweeting it, but I have a hard time making friends. Mm-hmm, it's a brave tweet by Jerry. Yeah, so... What part of that translates to OnlyFans, though?

Because it seems like he's talking about a Tinder, but just for dudes that want to hang out. Yeah. If there was an OnlyFans for guys, it would be like you pay videos and you get exclusive content of a guy smoking a cigar. Yeah. And like kicking his feet up on his couch. I don't know. I mean, someone did point out that you could literally call that only fans. So what Jerry came up with. That's true. It's

just be only sports fans. Yeah. But Vinny Jays, lonely fans. How about hear me out. Barstool Chicago's Dudefestest 2024 and we're doing it. We're gonna have DudeFest. Where? We are working on location as we speak. What type of location? Joe's on we've been throwing out there. Great place.

So a bar? Yeah, well a big enough bar that we can have a stage. So the idea, cause I was thinking about it this morning, I want a stage and we'll plan it out better than just like anyone can walk up, but I want to stage and we'll plan it out better than just like anyone can walk up. But I want to stage where dudes can go up and they could show us their favorite puke video, their favorite wrestling video. Dudes could go up and show us a picture of the best brisket they've done. Dudes could show up and do a couple of reps on the bench

press. Dudes could show could walk up there and talk to us. One guy said he wanted to do a five minute seminar on the wing tee offense. Just dudes talking about dude stuff and everyone being supportive and cheering for it. We're also going to have the first ever random dudes, random athlete spelling bee where I will have like 10 to 15 people and you have two seconds when you step into the mic and you have to name a random Sports player and the the the ruling of it is going to be that person can never have won anything Okay, because like you can't use naming guys you get a name guys, but it can't be in it can't be Kobe Bryant Mm-hmm. You know, I mean it has to be a name that you haven't thought of forever who didn't win any It was never an all-star never won MVP never won a World Series or

Super Bowl and it's gonna be dude fest and it's gonna fucking rock. What do you guys think? I'm I should be outside Okay. Well, so we were thinking about it We're thinking about maybe doing one in August But I also think that the week or two after Super Bowl would be a perfect time for DudeFest. Not a lot going on. Like everyone's coming down and it's just dudes supporting dudes. I also have thought of this idea. There will be obviously tickets.

You buy a ticket when you walk in the door. You get handed a $10 bet and all the dudes are on the same bet. That's a good idea. Yeah. Yeah. So it's it will be baked in the price you just you're we're all on a random over right? Hardcore doodity. I want to I want to maybe get like a super strong guy to come and and and just deadlift like a thousand pounds. Are there winners, losers, no competition? Anyone who shows up to DudeFest is a winner. You're a winner. Because you love dudes. But again, not sexual.

It's just dudes. Yeah. Okay, yeah. It's just like completely open. You can say whatever you want as a man. Yeah, we can just be dudes together. Just being dudes. Yeah.

There should be a fart contest. Oh yes. Farting contest. Great idea, that's on the list. Fart contest. What about burping contest? Burping contest, we're gonna do. That's the prelim list for contest about burping contest burping contest. We're gonna do that's the prelim for the fart contest Yeah, wing-eating contest. Yeah, what if a female tries to show up to dude fest nope? Denied at the door denied at the door, okay. I just want to make sure that what Hank what Hank

What you saying? We can't do it. No no no no You want to talk about trans? You sound like you want to talk about yeah, I want to talk about trans you sound like you want to talk about yeah about trans don't yeah definitely don't you did you have this conversation definitely not when I have a heavy conversation I think this should be a it sounds like a festival like you the things you just listed off it's literally is like what gave it away dude fest well but if you do it at Joe's what are you gonna have a three-day festival at Joe's on weed no it's Hank we have to be you can't just like expect people

to do a three-day festival right off the jump we have to we have to do a proof of concept so like dude the dude fest 1.0 is not gonna think about like Elio's ice con it's kind of like that yes it'd be like an open mic for guys. Like, open, open Geik. Yeah, right. And then when we- That doesn't work, but you understand what I'm saying. When we, when we build it bigger, then maybe we'll build in, like, music.

But I don't even want, I don't want, like, to have, like, a headliner band or something. Because I want dudes to just be able to be dudes. Because like, what if you come to Dudefest and it's a band you don't like? No one does, dislikes a dude showing us a picture of the best steak he's cooked. That dude rocks. There should be like some sort of maybe everybody in there is in the musical group. Maybe there's like one minute and a half time slot where everyone just sings Mr. Brightside to the world.

No, we're gonna do the I'll be the I'll be we'll I'll be will do that yeah yeah well the whole fucking bar will do that those pfc cuts it last minute oh hey oh Hank boy Hank's upset Hanks Wow Hanks a little he's got a little angel recently got a little angel recently he saw he saw Max Caitlin Clark get up on stage crush it it. Add this to the list, Max. Yeah, in what, yeah. And now a real shame if PFT kept asking me to do songs and cutting them moments before the show starts. It would be a real shame if Hank didn't get invited

to Dude Fest, because he's showing some undudes-like behavior right now. I'm just, we're just talking out. This is how the process works. Some chick tendency. Yeah, you're giving off chick right now. This is the process. Yeah, you got too many feels for dude No

I literally my my I feel like my entire existence is just trying to rein in some big cats bigger scale ideas when he's like All right, we're gonna have one night also not do a hundred thing or not dude like all right. Sorry Well, it's a hundred things, but it's like it's gonna also every single person is gonna go on no not every single person I think everyone has to apply for what they want to do and we would put together a Set list right correct I thought was when I heard all that was like it's like a festival where there's different stages with different things going on you Can walk around that will be where we will get to got it like what yes year five of Dude Fest There will be an entire tent where it will just be stone cold

five of DudeFest, there will be an entire tent where it will just be Stone Cold Steve Austin highlights on loop. You can just go in there and watch it with your dudes. It'll be like what South by Southwest turned into, where it's a week long event and you've got like lanyards and you can go to like the dude seminars that they're giving. Yeah, right. There'll be a tent where it's just dingers. Steve Adazio. Steve Adazio, we'd love for you to kick off DudeFest. Keynote speaker, yep. Be a dude. The Harbaz will be involved in some capacity, whether that be just a video he sends me or

both of them send me. By the way, did you see the Harbaz have a football camp now, a coaching camp? I didn't see that. No, I saw his golf tournament. We need to get involved with the Harbaugh football camp because we actually, this may sound crazy because it's gonna be football coaches and they're gonna teach them football,

but I think we could lend our hand in media training. Yeah, 100% we could guess. We just had all the coaches go through the toughest questions we could ask them. Yeah, and just teach them how to say, it starts with me. Yeah. I need to take, it starts with me. Yeah. I got to take a long look in the mirror, because it starts and it ends with me.

Yeah. All right, so Hank's out on DudeFest. I love the idea. Are you in on DudeFest? Yeah, I'm in. It took me a while to really understand what the boundaries were for people that are presenting at DudeFest.

Yeah. It's just kind of anything that's cool. Yeah, exactly. We're going to have, yeah, like, if anyone will have a portion maybe a 10-minute portion where dudes Which will just come up and show the biggest fish they caught yeah, it's good like that's gonna be awesome even bring the fish Yeah, some cool shed you built mm-hmm. Yeah, we'll have a whole picture time that it's gonna rock Talk about your car. I know Max is in max fucking loves dude get up there and just tell me all the stuff You've done to your car. Don't even show pictures. We should have someone just go up and teach us about cars. Yeah five minutes

Here's where the gas goes in. Yeah Though the spelling bee of random athletes is gonna be electric. So there's no spelling involved in that. No, okay So I just get up there I say Steve Bedrosian Yeah, and then I have two seconds and I have to come up with someone And I say oh Fred McGriff and yeah, he's too accomplished. Mm-hmm, and he's like, nope, you're out So how we verify we'll have we'll have the scripts people there Yeah, yeah, they'll be there they'll be there they'll do their fucking nerdy voice We'll have to have them behind the curtain cuz that guy's not a dude

They'll do their fucking nerdy voice. We'll have to have them behind the curtain because that guy's not a dude Dr. Bailey. Yeah, dr. Bailey. No doctors allowed. No doctors allowed a dude fest. That's way chiropractors. I We should maybe have a portion of Dudes with ailments that come up and they just ask the whole audience what they think is wrong or has anybody here ever had this I've got a fucking a rash on my shoulder. Can any dude help me? I'll just show my toe. Yeah What's going on? Does this yeah, that's in our segment. Does this look infected? Yes. Yes, that's dude fest We're helping each other out. Do you think I do you think I should see someone about this? Yeah Anyone know what's going on my tooth? Dudes just shout it out. So dude fest is going to happen. I've already put the wheels in

motion with there's been some big steps taken, which Hank probably hates right now. But I'm in get excited. Cool thrown dudes. All right, Jake, my hot seats, the French open, but I'm gonna side with you on this one because Novak had to retire or withdraw due to injury and he blamed The court surface because of the rain he asked them to wipe it multiple times and they did not approve of that's fucking bullshit Oh, he slipped way too many times He said could this injury have been prevented possibly if there was just a little bit more frequent care of the court during the set That's basically all I asked for. Oh, so now that sounds like that sounds like Rafa's guys doing Rafa's out. Yeah. No, I'm saying they want to keep Rafa's whole legacy and everything. Oh yeah. So I had to withdraw.

What happened to him? What's the actual problem with this? Oh, he towards meniscus. You're never the same athlete after that. Oh, don't say that. He never. Yeah. Meniscus well you're never the same athlete after that. Oh don't say that he never Yeah But meniscus is really or it due to a medial medial medial Medial meniscus tear my right knee. Oh, yeah, that's No, he won't be After you have a meniscus you're never the same athlete you were. I love how hard memes last when we went, ugh!

Ugh! Yeah. He's taking on the entire court system. Literal court system. Love that. Yeah. My cool throne is JJ Reddick. Oh.

We have a report from Shom's that he is, they are, the Lakers are zeroing in as Reddick as the front runner for the head coaching position. We knew this. But this is now out there Yeah, we call it. They're out there called it. We called it and then is he saying also LeBron to Cleveland? Mm-hmm No, can I not? Connect the dots. I'm excited to see how that pans out. Yeah, I want to see them continue doing their podcast as coach and player. Yeah Get all together, drinking that vino. I feel bad for JJ when either LeBron leaves or LeBron blames JJ, because that's

kind of the only two outcomes. I think you have to practice that in your interview for the Lakers. Like, how would you react if LeBron said, we have to get better on coaching? Yeah. What's your reaction to that? Do you say, LeBron's right?

Do you say, he's right? I stink? Are you hard on yourself? I think the only way to get Do you say LeBron's right? Do you say he's right? I stink. Are you hard on yourself? I think the only way to get in front of LeBron doing that is you have to you have to be more hard on yourself Than LeBron could ever be. Yes right off the bat. I do think JJ would be a good coach So good luck to him friend of the program. Um, okay Speaking of NBA. Let's get to our great interview with Ryan Rosillo. Then we'll finish up with guys on chicks.

Okay, we now welcome on one of our absolute favorite guests in Pardon My Take history. He's on the Mount Rushmore. It is time for our NBA playoff preview with Ryan Rosillo, who writer, podcaster, go listen to the Ryan Russo show. Also male model? Yeah, yeah, Ryan, you look good. I felt good. Were you doing that as a joke?

No. Okay. Somebody asked me to model and I said yes. As I get older, I just wanna get outside of the comfort zone and it's just classic. Guys are just not secure enough, so of course the hate rolls in and it hurt. There was a couple dark days where I was kind of sitting around being like, maybe this isn't for me. Maybe I haven't

built up the scar tissue that I thought I had built up over 20 plus years of sharing sports takes and being called a dick head all the time. But this world is entirely different. And I don't know, I know that I'm built different, but I don't know if I'm built differently Yeah, yeah, so you had a good look on your face in that pose Yeah, I don't know what your motivation was for the camera. What did you like about it? I thought it was something I hadn't seen out to you before you had like a little high school bully

But also like maybe a high school bully who's into poetry. Yeah wrong side of tracks kid Yeah, don't fuck with him bad boy. We gave off bad boy vibes Yeah, but oh man if you he's actually really well read Yeah You like the cement background? Yeah, that was cool. It was really cool He was it was perfectly set up so that you could get memed forever for it Yeah, it made me feel like you were yeah, you were like a high school bully dumb jock But also you have a boondock Saints poster on your wall.

So you're into the fine art of cinema as well. Yeah, maybe Bob Marley. Have you ever seen overnight the Boondock Saints documentary about the creator behind it? Have you seen it? I've heard about it, and I've heard how crazy, batshit, and insane it gets, but I have not seen it myself.

It is so good I bought it. And I hadn't watched it, and I don't know, I think it came out maybe a little less than 20 years ago. It's incredible, and it's kind of the blueprint for what you're not supposed to do when you show up to Hollywood and somebody likes your script. So look, they still got it made, and he's done, he did far more in 12 months than most people

could ever dream of doing, but it's the best documentary. I wonder what he's like when he goes back. But yeah, to the modeling shoot, there's actually footage from it that we haven't released yet. We're kind of seeing how it goes. The hoodies did sell out in just over an hour. Yes. So we're thrilled about that. Legends was obviously happy. I mean, legends. I'm not traditionally like I'm not like a lot of their models. I think you would all agree on that.

Do you have you knock out any other calls? Well, I haven't put it in my Instagram bio yet. And that's probably part of the problem because I have I have minor league baseball player in there because I just think a lot of guys do. And I don't know what the standard is for saying, Oh, I think I have professional baseball player because I think you can actually just say it. Yeah. I have that and then I've got to update it and put model and I imagine the collab offers They'll just come rolling in the the the the key for minor league baseball player You can't write minor league baseball player You got to just like do the at to the team that you played for because then people click it be like oh shit

He played ball because it'd be like, you know some random it'd be like the craw daddies. You're like, what the hell is that? Oh But if you still got paid, you could be independent league baseball and it's still I mean There's nothing funnier than playing like a pick-up hoop since somebody would be really good and be like, oh hey Do you play somewhere like I played some semi-pro and you're like what what is that? What actually is that? Yeah, there is what if there's you know, we used to have the CBA There's the G League and then there's another league in the NBA and maybe you're overseas somewhere But like what's American semi-pro like what is it actually just more organization for men's league? Yeah, I think if you just if you get paid like a hundred dollars if you ever get paid to play bad

Yeah, I played I played on TBT. I was on a roster. I recorded a stat. I think I might be semi-pro. It's not professional, but it's semi. There was a payment for it. There was a million bucks for the winner. Sounds like somebody needs to update their bio. Yeah, for sure. So I'm looking at this picture. You want to know something funny though on the picture? I actually did have like seven or eight DMs asking if I wanted to collab after that. Oh, which is just awesome.

Are you going to do it? What about for us? What about for part of my take? Next next hoodie we put out, can we get you to model it for us? That'd be big. Can I wear short shorts? Yes, we it's actually a must. Yeah, actually, we should sell shorts. We should actually just we'll have quigs just make them shorter and shorter and shorter. Yeah. How did you decide which letters to take out of Rossello? Because it's R-S-L-O. You said, okay, I don't want two S's, don't want two L's, and then some of the vowels.

Let's lose those. Use a strong letter. It is. It's a great observation. That was the graphic design team. I didn't really have a ton to do with that. There were some times we were looking at different logos and then you realize you're kind of just like, what can you really do with an R that hasn't been done before? And maybe somebody out there is a little bit

more creative than I am on it. Actually, I know that there is. So you know what's really embarrassing? You want to hear something super embarrassing about the RSLO line? So a bunch of guys in the Manhattan Beach area hit me up every now and then be like, hey, can I get some Legends gear? And I'll just go like, yeah, no problem. A lot of times it'll be like some of the former athletes or whatever and I'll just call up one of the guys at Legends and I go like, hey, can you send this guy a package,

like, you know, good guy, whatever, like getting the word out about the product. And then when they did those hoodies and they did some shorts, they did like just a few runs of the shorts, but they gave them to me so I could, you know, give them to my brothers or whatever. And a couple of retired hockey players, this is so embarrassing. I was like, do you want any of the ones that say Rossello?

And the two guys were like emphatically, no, I don't want, I don't want those. And I thought, yeah, if I'm a pro athlete, I don't know that I want some podcasters name on the hoodie that I want, definitely without his name on it. And as soon as I hit sent, I was like, why did you ask this stupid fucking question? Like you already know the answer. And it was so embarrassing, like, especially one answer where the guy specifically was like, I definitely don't want those men. So when you're workshopping it, you didn't, you didn't have any other iterations of the Rossello name, like maybe just, you know, go for the heart of it and just go SS.

I knew we'd get there somehow. Uh, no, we didn't, we didn't do that. That was smart. What about, what about L just a big L, or just the PMT, Riscilla collaboration, and we do a brand new brand for you. It's just called Hard R. And it's for jacked up dudes. Yeah. That's all on the table.

But man, when you post, when you model, I mean, you guys don't know this. No, we do. We've modeled many things. We actually have a billboard where we're naked. The fascinating part of it is like, no one's legs are big enough for it is like no one's legs are big enough for the internet. No one's legs are big enough. I

have great legs. Oh, PFT. You've got teardrops. You've got like multiple teardrops just dangling off those quads. And I've seen your legs. But for whatever reason, people expect anybody to work out to just have Tom Platts size quads just to be like what's what's what's the beam on those things? It's your legs are just never big enough for the internet. I've learned. It's good that he's he's noted your legs. Yeah, I know. Well, Ryan's Ryan's always checking out dude. Yeah, I was gonna ask that what off that what was the last time you met a

dude and you weren't like, thinking in the back of your head? Can I take him in a fight? Oh, I don't know.-ass somebody's somebody really old That's what I like about you. You you size you know your environment. Yeah, but I'm constantly advanced scouting I'm advanced scouting will life. Yeah, and technically an old dude. You're still doing it because you're like I don't have to do it So you've already said it in your head like not even a problem. Yeah, you got me there. Yeah, got me there Yeah, there's no there's no way around it like seeing Jerry West's like take a seat. You're like, I don't care about his length Yeah, just pull the table on pull the chair on him. Alright, so let's get an MBA Yeah, I'm gonna put you know before we do that just just to add to it because I know you love when I do this

when I'm wearing the hoodie with the RS LO in like a elevator or something in a hotel and That's where you're supposed to say the right one, PFT. But I'll be wearing it. It's a gray hoodie. And then somebody would be like, hey, what brand is that? And when I have to explain that it's my name on it, it's just like this weird, yeah, like what? Dude, you made your own hoodies?

And it's like, well, it's a little more complicated than that, but thanks for your approval. That's like telling anyone that you have a podcast because I've been back into that game with like meeting like my kids like the parents like in the schools and stuff and I've had to do that a couple times and you just can't there's no way to say I have a podcast without becoming sounding like the biggest loser of all time because people just assume when you say oh I have a podcast you have like a side podcast that no one's listening to. And I'm just like, I do make a living off of it. Like I'll have to follow up with that. And it's like, all right,

okay, cool. Like I didn't ask. It is easily the least impressive way to introduce yourself now in society. Like I don't even know what to do. I don't know what the work around is because you constantly feel like at a certain level, you have to kind of explain it and be like, no, things are going pretty good. Yeah, right. And I have a car thing that I'm dealing with that's kind of frustrating. And the brand of the car that I've had three times now, they've reached out to our sales team to be like, does he drive our car?

And they were like, yeah, he loves it. And be like, does he want to read ads? And I was like, yeah, but I'm also kind of dealing with some conflict with the dealership on the trade-in that I'm not too thrilled about. And then I tried to explain it to the sales guy without being like a, do you know who I am? And he's just like, what the,

he wanted to check with a supervisor. He'd be like, well, this guy's an idiot. What are we doing? What does this mean? And I'm like, no, like, this guy's an idiot. What are we doing? Yeah. What does this mean? And I'm like, No, it's actually it does. Okay. And no one. It you said this years ago, there needs to be like a different tier, right? That you're allowed to say like almost a blue checkmark for that introduction. If that's your profession. Yeah, not a weird and it pays well. Yeah. And by the way, it's Range Rover for anyone wondering he drives a range No big deal. No big land or range range I think Land Rover's is the proper term brand. Oh, yeah. Yeah, but you drive a Range Rover, right?

I don't know. I haven't done the reads yet. We don't know Here guy Sportful. I remember when I went to get my first one in Connecticut, they were like, so your cohost right? The tall guy, he drives a sport. All right. NBA preview for playoffs. Uh, we kind of delayed this one. Who do you think's going to win it? I like Boston. Uh, I'm scared to death of Luca and what he's been able to do and considering who they've gone through in the West.

I thought Minnesota was going to beat him. I thought Oklahoma City was going to beat him. I thought Kauai, if he was healthy. I don't know that I've ever picked against a team four straight times and they won the title. I picked against Miami every single time last year and then it was easy to pick against him in Denver and it played out like the way I thought it would play out because it just was an incredible Miami story.

So there's that haunting thought here, but the one thing that I kept coming back to in all the prep that you do or whatever, and watching all these games and being into it, is that I feel like Boston has the two versus the one. And what I mean by that is, depending on which night you got with the Clippers, I don't know that you really felt like you were getting consistent dose of a one and two with Paul George

and Harden and against Oklahoma city after SGA where they actually made it hard on him and he was still spectacular. I feel even better about SGA as a player now, uh, beyond just the regular season, the MVP voting, like going into next year, it's like, okay, I don't think there's any debate about who he is as a guy as opposed to just one amazing year. But the secondary scores were not there for them. They weren't able to provide the spacing. This is a number one three-point shooting team in the league, and I think they shot

32% in that series against Dallas and Jalen Williams. As a younger player, a lot of times, it's just they're not quite ready. It's actually pretty normal normal and it doesn't mean that Jalen Williams is gonna be as good as we think he's gonna be. And then when you look at Minnesota, whether they had Rudy on the floor or Rudy in the Kyle lineups or just ignoring Cap

with all the open looks that he kept missing, I felt like they only really had to worry about one scorer at all times and that was Anthony Edwards. And he did not answer the bell the way we hoped he would. And when you look at Boston, their primary lineup of Przingus back is going to be five people that you have to worry about, specifically two attackers with size

that have been through a ton of these playoff wars already. So I think the defensive challenge, despite Dallas statistically proving out they've been the best defensive team, a few weeks after the trade deadline, what they've done against these really good teams in the West, I feel like the defensive challenge is entirely different based on the lineups, the talent, and the spacing that Prezingis is going to provide.

Yeah. Who do you think is the most important player for the Celtics this series? I've got a name. Well, it's easy to just say Tatum. And I probably like, if you tell me who, hey, Tatum has to be the guy, and unfortunately he kind of lives in this fifth best to like eighth best player thing, which is always kind of frustrating for that fan base because you kind of want him to morph into one of those top four guys, and I don't know that he's ever going to do that.

That's the way he'll be talked about if he has a big series, wins finals, MVP, and the Celtics pull it off. But Perzingis really does feel like the most important player, but it's asking a lot of somebody who have not played competitive basketball for a month. I know he scrimmaged everything and he's been a full participant, but to go a month plus

to be like, okay, now run out there in the NBA finals. I wonder if he'll look bad in the first game and Dallas wins big in the first one, but that's not really how the series plays out. I think a lot of times game one can be the most misleading game, how the rest of the series goes. But Porzingis stretching the floor and pulling away these bigs, whether it's Lively or Gafford or Dallas could get really creative with how they wanna match up with personnel.

They also in that March 1st game when they played each other, they ran out of Porzingis-Horford lineup in that as well. And Horford can certainly stretch the floor too. We saw him shoot some big threes. So of course, Zingas could still miss shots or whatever and then the Celtics win the series. But I think matchup wise, changing what Dallas has done and making their bigs do something they haven't done before,

not that they're incapable of doing it, but pulling that rim protection away, he feels the most important for me. Yeah, all right. So I think you touched on this on one of the pods. Wait, did PFT have a name though? Oh yeah, sorry. Sorry. Sorry. What's your name? It's an old interview trick. You just say that you already know the answer, but you want to hear what the other person has to say. Then what is your name? Their answer. I was going to say

presented. Obviously. Yeah. I was going to say Derek White. No, I was actually going to say true holiday. Well, Drew is who's he going to cover? Well, when I looked at the March 1st matchup, Jalen starts on Luca, but it doesn't end with Jalen Brown on Luca a lot. They run that double screen up top for him. You can't just double Luca blindly. Like there was a play against Minnesota. I brought up a few times or a hilarious where I think it was after stoppage and Minnesota decided, okay, we're just going to trap Luca here on the screen.

Luca brought Gafford up, I believe, to set the screen, and he didn't even let him set the screen and never even got that far. Here come Minnesota's defenders like, all right, we're going to trap him. We're going to trap him. Luca just smiles and throws the ball off to Kyrie, who then hits, I think, PJ in the corner for a wide open three. It was all set up by Luca being like, I'm not even going to let you do the thing that you just designed to do against me to change up the coverage. So with Luca, it's going to be Tatum,

it's going to be Jaylen. The Drew part of it, he's stout on the perimeter, but you could see some of the plays in the second matchup that I've referenced here, that if he gets Drew deep, if he gets anybody deep that's not tall enough to contest, it's over. I mean, Luke is still gonna have, it's probably 30, 10 and 10 every single night. It's really up to Kyrie consistently being more like he was against Minnesota than OKC. And then is PJ Washington gonna be Ray Allen or Steve Allen?

Yeah. Ooh, Steve Allen. That's good. That's good. Nice. A little throwback there. Nice. Our audience will understand that reference. Um, Was it was the last on TV that Steve Allen? 1994 he was on uh, was it was the pyramid? Yeah Yeah, it was what about the the back and forth that's been going on regarding Perzingis and Luca that they might not actually like each other,

might be some beef there. I think Chandler Parsons put that out there, said actual beef, and then Lucas said, I've probably talked to Chandler Parsons twice in my life. He didn't so much deny what Chandler Parsons said, just completely eviscerated him as somebody who's completely on the outside of the situation, but I've heard that too.

I've heard that Porzingis and Donjic didn't get along well. Yeah, because it's true. I've heard it for a lot. I've never talked to Luca once in my life, but does it mean you have to talk to the person to then know that it's true? And Luca's interesting in that I don't know. I don't know enough about the story to go, hey, this is who's at fault and this is why this is wrong and this guy, but I had heard it, like when Perzingis got down there, they're like not super into it, but I don't know that,

like Grant Williams didn't exactly love it either, although I think, how has no one done the Grant Williams interview yet? I mean, this has to be like the major thing, the get, you guys should be getting him. I know, I'm not sure we can even pull it off our little pop-up shop, but I I

Don't know that it matters. Like what is what what's actually gonna happen? I mean Lucas gonna yell at everyone including kids. So he's just gonna he's gonna once he steps in between the lines He's an unhinged individual which I'd probably rather have that than somebody who's unsure of them. So yeah, I love it I would I love it. I hope he yells at death Tate him that would rock. Oh, he's like he's like this could get it Do you get it this shit? Yeah No, it's like like Dave Dave actually put it perfectly. I did the rundown yesterday. He's like I hate Kyrie so much I think there's a very good chance I come out of this series hating Lucas so much more and I think that's like What most Celtics fans are gonna have to deal with because if you watch Luca, if you play against Luca, there's just

something about him that makes you so angry. That's what I kind of love about the way the playoffs play out on social media, because you'll go, oh, first time. Yeah, like now you're watching. And let's face it, there's a million games on. I don't expect most people to be watching all this stuff. I remember like Harden being in the playoffs and then people going, wait, they're just gonna run this thing over and over and over again for two and a half hours.

Like he's just gonna be up top with the ball and it actually kind of works a lot too. Like nobody's gonna move around or anything. It's like, yeah, dude, this is what they do. They've been doing it all year long. Luca is a tough watch with the complaining. It felt like it got dialed down a little bit against Minnesota. It's maybe because they were just totally in control and it wasn't Lou Dort's body just all over Luca. I mean,

the crazy thing about Lou Dort is I think Lou Dort's the best defender for Luca in the NBA. And then you look at the final numbers, you're like, I thought this guy was an awesome defender. You're like, that's not really what it is. Can I make your 30, 10 and 10 really hard on you and wear you down physically? Where I thought Luca had moments in that series where I'm like, I don't even know if he's going to be able to be healthy enough the rest of the way. He's actually looked better and better. And now with the time off between the end of the Western Conference finals and the finals, like he should look great. But yes, Celtics fans that are really watching Luca for the first time, if he's the way he normally

is, you're going to hate him because he's going to be killing you in moments. He's going to hit big shots. They're going to win some of these games, but he is not. I don't think he can actually help himself. It's not an excuse, but I think he's one of those guys that is just an absolute spaz in your friend group and you're like, and he doesn't even realize he's doing it. Yeah. It's like Hank when we golf with cameras on. He's good when there's no cameras on and then he can't help it when there's cameras on. I own that video, by the way. Let him know if you see him. Oh yeah. He's sitting right here. You can get that. He'll get that video. By the way,

anyone who's playing- I'll follow up after this. What'd you say? I'll follow up after this. Okay. Thanks Yeah, hit me. I hit me up today. Anyone who's playing. We're still bingo at home He was able to work in some James Harden hate out of nowhere. So just check that one off. I thought that was nice I thought that was actually nice for me. I don't know how we steered the ship to oh and by the way James Harden He sucks, uh, I guess here in the ship. How's your boat doing? Oh, don't ask

ha and he sucks. Uh, because here in the ship, how's your boat doing? Oh, don't ask. Uh, well, we're in a transactional phase. Yeah. About to have the second best day of owning a boat. You're selling the boat. Yeah, I am. Unfortunately, I have to sell it. What's that like? What's the process selling? You put an ad in the newspaper, meet, meet a couple guys down at the docks, maybe throw in a free hoodie. Well, it's a bigger boat. So I'm not meeting anybody. Yeah. You got a guy that calls. Yeah, a representative. Yeah. Yeah. I

get I get called. You should make that guy the representative of your boat should have to wear a Rossello hoodie every time he takes a meeting. Yeah, because we wanted to paint over because the boat's name is Ohana, which means family, which I thought was just too good. I think that's what it means. Can you get one of your tech guys to double check because I was like, All right, Ohana, I'm not sure about good. I think that's what it means. Can you get one of your tech guys to double check? Because I was like, all right, Ohana, I'm not sure about this. And then they were like, yeah, it means family or community or something like that. Ohana is a Hawaiian term

meaning family. You nailed it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, Lilo and Stitch. Once I knew that that's what it was, I was like, perfect. This is great. It was like one time I think I was at Marshall's buying socks because they're cheaper there, gang. They are. There was some art that said something like, the thing I love about my home is who I share it with. I bought it and hung it up in my house in Connecticut. That's awesome.

If you had a new visitor, they'd be like, wait, what the fuck is going on? The boat thing, I was debating a chapter in my book, the editors were like, I don't think that's gonna speak to as large of an audience as you need for a boat ownership chapter, but when I bought it originally, I was told if I put it in the charter

that I was gonna recoup a lot of the money back. And I already knew it was bullshit when it was happening. And I think I even said that in the negotiation. I don't really know that I believe you or the numbers that you projected and how much it's going to offset. But this is a learning experience and if I can offset any of the costs, then we'll try this and we'll see what happens. And the projections and then the revenue, I don't even know if we hit 10% of the projections. And then I found out I was paying three times as much for my charter

insurance, twice as much for my slip, and then a thousand bucks a month for charter cleaning that wasn't actually happening. And I noticed it wasn't happening. So I left some smudges on the inside of the boat knowing that I was leaving the country. And I was like, if I come back in a month and those smudges are still there, then I'll be like, all right, so I just paid a thousand bucks for another monthly cleaning. So we moved the boat to a different marina, learned how much more I was paying that was absurd versus not even bringing in any money in.

I think we went six months without a dollar and I was like, what's going on? And they're like, ah, the weather's been tough. I'm like, zero? Like zero dollars for six months weather? Like what, like there were no tsunamis, I believe in the area. So yeah, we're in the transactional phase.

I haven't retired from the boating community. My license is for life. That was a sir. The question was, how's your boat? No, he just did the audio book. He did the audio book chapter on the boat that got cut. See, I was kind of soft pitching it. Maybe the editors are right.

Hank just got his boating license. He might be in the market for a boat. He'd be your captain. Hank, just move back to Boston, because I need somebody. What I really need to do is going on something in the seaport, but I already looked into it a little bit. You're already looking for your next boat?

You haven't sold your first one. There was some boat membership thing that I was like, Hank's part of it. That's what I'm doing. Yeah, he's no maintenance. No maintenance. Pitch me on it. You don't own the boat, but you own a subscription essentially to multiple boats.

Yeah, you can rent boats. You have an app, you just, you know, reserve the boat you want. They got pontoons. They got center console boats. You walk up the it's fueled up. You don't have to, you know, do anything. And then when you're done, you just drop it off. They tie it up for you.

You get off and that's it You need friends for a pontoon though. I mean me taking out the solo punch 46 so depressing. Oh my god I have love I love going out on the boat solo here I love it and I don't care just cuz I like driving the boat, but I'm into it But a pontoon by yourself, it's like a whole nother level. It's like, what is he trying to do there? So I don't know. And the other thing, I think the one Hank is talking about,

I think the longest boat you can get is like a 27 foot center console. And they told me I can't ever take it out overnight. You have to be back by sunset, all this stuff. I'm like, I'm not used to these restrictions. Right. Chicago's the only city where you can take it out at night. At night? At night. I'm sure that's gonna go really well restrictions right Chicago's only city where you can take it out a night a night

Nice sure that's gonna go really well for Hank. Yeah, I will say that I I've spent a lot of time on boats never You know in charge of them and and going through that process has been a little bit a lot of responsibility You're gonna be captain. Yeah. Yes. What are you licensed up to? I got I got a Florida license I don't really know what that means, but they said that was the easiest one to get to get in the membership. I'm excited to be on this boat with you. Uh, Ryan basketball question. If the Dallas Mavericks were a boat, which part of the boat would each player be? Oh, wow. Wow. Uh, well I think Lucas is a couple twin Volvo Penta diesel engines Right because you just everybody knows everything runs better on diesel. Mm-hmm. So there's that I Think PJ would be the swim platform. Ooh

We're like, hey, do you want to lower the swim platform? You're like that's fucking awesome. And be like, do you want to raise it back up? And be like, yeah, we could do that too. And then there's times you're like, oh, that's right. We haven't used a swim platform in like six months. But man, was it awesome when I was thinking about buying it. Oh shit, the swim platform made another huge three from the corner. We forgot he was in the game.

Yeah, I think that's good. Everyone laughed when I got a swim platform. Everyone wanted me to get something way cooler and splashier. And I said, no, you're going to like a swim platform. Everyone wanted me to get something way cooler and splashier. Yeah. And I said, no, you're going to like that swim platform. It's going to work well with the boat. Yeah.

And then, yeah, and then everyone walks around being like, how the hell did you get that swim platform? I didn't know that was on the market. I think Lively's the fenders. OK. Because there's just protection around the rim. That's good. That's good.

Kyrie the steering wheel. Yeah. Eric Jones, you passed over Kyrie pretty quickly there. No, I'm waiting. I'm saving saving. Okay, I want to get it right. I think Derek Jones would be the dock mate, if you have some kind of remote for a bigger boat to be able to dock going in reverse, especially if you're by yourself, remote for a bigger boat to be able to dock going in reverse, especially if you're by yourself, I have a dock mate,

where it's like, you don't always have to use it. This feels a bit like a PJ thing, but man, people love seeing me pull in a remote control. They're like, you could just do that from the back. You could just do that on your own, the remote, and that's like a Derek Jones dunk, where you're like, holy shit, I almost forgot how amazing this guy is at dunking.

You don't need it. You don't necessarily need it, but people love to see it. And when I bring out the little remote, they're like, how does that work? Like, hey, check it out. Whole thing's ready to go. Is Kyrie the tender? What's that? She don't know what a tender is. I don't know what a tender is. Yeah, come on, Hank, fill this guy in. Hank, what's the tender? You know the tender.

You don't know what tender? What's this Florida? I'm gonna get back in school, buddy. Max, what's a tender? That's not, yeah, they don't need it for Florida waters. Yeah, that's why Florida left that part of the test off. It's the Dory, dude. Tender boat.

That's a type of, well, look, the tender is that if you have a big enough boat, a tender is like the raft or the little 15-foot you drop down so if you see you just mooring life but you want to sound cool it's a lifeboat no no it's not a lifeboat it's another boat that takes you to your boat right right so if you can't pull into a slip or you can't be in a marina there's nowhere safe surprise you haven't read Wide Wide Sea yet by Hampton Sides. I've not. But if you, I mean these guys in these big boats

back in the day, I mean they get too close to land, but then they'd have to spend forever trying to figure out where they could actually anchor properly, and then they would take their boats in. So the tender is, it can really connect you to life, but if you don't have it, you can feel as if you're on your own and maybe you can't understand the terrain well enough. Yeah, so that's kind of Kyrie. You're looking at the terrain. You're like, this looks like it's a round sphere.

But then you have the tender. It's like, actually actually it's all flat. Yeah, because it's smaller and their perspectives are all different. Yeah. You're not actually, you're not navigating, you're just short tripping. If you're on a big boat and you get to the dock, you think that you're there, but you're not ever actually there

until you can get into the tender and actually arrive. Dock, yes, but mooring, no. So the tender, the tender connects you to life and exploration, but it's certainly not the most important part of the voyage. Yeah, this is good. That was very informative. Very informative. Very informative. Uh, Ryan, not to throw one at you here, but you're good on your feet. If Luca wins the title here, would he be a top seven, uh, title run by a single player? Uh, let me think just off top of your head. Yeah. Single player. Well, it depends on what you think of Kyrie and true the longest time. I think Kyrie's value was well, he diminished

it as much as anybody else ever did in your eyes. Yeah, I don't have any time for people to be like, Hey, you know. It's like, wait, what? Like, we're all supposed to act like it was awesome the whole time all of these years? Because he made some shots, like, give me a break. So he's actually, in a weird way, Kyrie, if they were to win this whole thing and then everything that happens,

it's like he never really had to be a number one and he's gonna be praised as somebody as if he was misunderstood and somehow undervalued. Or I think anybody that's a basketball fan appreciates how incredibly skilled he is. But when people start coming at you with like, he's the most talented player of all time, it's like, okay, so then you're admitting that he's one of the most disappointing players ever. Yeah, true.

Good point. Right? Good point. So like, if you're the best who have ever done this thing that we've seen thousands of players showcase their skills, and he's better than every single one of them, and this is what his career has been to this point but we all know that winning cures all these things that winning actually completely distorts to I think comical ways the way we'll talk about these

accomplishments right after they happen like we cannot help ourselves right after something happens and if Kyrie to win this title it's gonna like be some really like weird referendums on what we should have been doing while all the bad stuff was happening. Not for just one season, but for multiple seasons as a guy that looked like he didn't really care about playing basketball anymore. As far as Luka and what this will mean as a single person, it's probably still not as good as Dirks if you want to keep it with the Mavs. Because that team was fascinating.

And remember, Cuban was like, okay, great, we won a title, we finally did it, this is awesome, but we're really not this good, so I'm not gonna resign everybody. So that's kind of a one man thing. I mean, Wade still had a diminished version of Shaq, but he had Shaq, and Wade was so incredible in that one run. But that team isn't historically like one of these great all time teams. Pretty quickly

after that, they were completely off the map for that one. What other other ones that you're thinking of? Why? Why would Toronto? Yeah, Bill Walton. I always feel like the 19 one, the 19 Toronto thing, it's like good for them. But let's also be realistic about what happened to Golden State there. So yeah, true. Good point. That one feels a little different. I mean, if Tatum and Brown went down in the finals, and then Luca wins a

title, we're not going to look at that title the same way. Yeah. So you so I think you're saying you might be we might have a chance for top seven. around seven. He goes crazy. Do you even know the other six? mmm Bill Walton Bill Wall MJ 91 Kwai with you on the MJ stuff because I felt like the MJ doc started telling a story of Pippen that wasn't accurate for how it Actually went down like Pippen. I know he had the MVP voting year that was really impressive, but I mean, you tell me as your favorite team,

I don't think Pippen was ever really talked about as being one of the four or five best players in the league consecutive seasons, the way it felt like the last dance kind of told that story. Yeah. I mean, I thought those are two different things. He's like an all time player, but he was never, you never like, that's the best player. Yeah. Like you said, the best player on the team. Can he run his own team? I know obviously they got to the you know close, but then you saw what happened I mean there there's a couple that would come to mind if they did win in the finals the Jason kid nets would be probably top three. Mm-hmm Alan Iverson sixers if they had won that that's probably number one

That was a crazy playoffs. I guess you could throw a Kobe in there. Late Kobe. Which Kobe though? 09? Yeah late Kobe. But Powell got there in 08 it turned everything around. Powell doesn't show up I don't even think I don't even know if Kobe has the last two rings. I think maybe something else happens but the Iverson one sure but the East stunk. The East was scow back and look at that East, it was awful. Yeah, I think we're talking ourselves into it. So who else we got?

Did we not mention it? So Luca could be it? Well, it's none of the Warriors teams, it's none of the LeBron teams. What is he? Because they're just staff. What's that face? It's not the Celtics.

Well, wait, wait. It's not the Celtics in OA. What about LeBron when he beat the Warriors? Well, then you have Kyrie. Yeah, yeah, it's true. It's true. But then, but also so does Luca. Yeah Well, then you have Kyrie. Yeah, yeah, it's true. It's true. But then, but also so does Luca. Yeah.

A later version of Kyrie. What about, what about any Bird or Magic years? No, those teams are stacked. Yeah. All right. So yeah. Spurs, cool. Cause he's got Kawhi the second time through all the other years is Parker, Janobli.

So I think we just made a, I think top seven. You might crack top seven. Yeah, Janice is a good one. 50 point game. But now we're just kind of naming players on the Raptors. I said quiet in the Raptors. Yeah. But he Ryan said because everyone on the Warriors got hurt. He doesn't count that as a title. That's fair. That's about that's pretty much what I said. We'll get back to Ryan in a second. He's brought to you by proper 12.

Something weird has happened with this Celtics team in the fact that I think maybe it's because they've been around for so long that the the national media maybe is like trying

to poke holes where it's like, are they under performing? I I'm in a gambling chat and someone dropped a note last night that I thought was pretty interesting. Basically the Celtics in this run with Tatum and Brown have only underperformed twice and it was against the heat in 2000 or 2020 and the heat in 2023. Every other series that they've been favored, they've won and there's a couple that they were underdogs and they won. So what, what is it about? Is it because they've been, they, they went so far so early that they've been around for so long that we like, why haven't these guys won a title when you can actually look at it? And I know you like

to do this where it's like, tell the story. They ran into a LeBron team. They ran into, you know, the nets when they were very close to beating the bucks that year, the bucks won. So like, what is it? It's everything you just said. We completely agree. There's almost an unwarranted hangover with this team where if this was the first version, like say they were a 48 win team and it's like, yeah, Tatum and Brown are pretty good. And it's like, wait, they added Przingus and they added Drew Holliday and they won 60 plus games and they smashed all these teams and their point differential is where with all these other historic teams

that won titles and are some of the, I think it's on that list. You look at those teams, you're like, those might be four of the five best teams you've ever seen in NBA history and the Celtics are plugged in there too. I think they'd be talked about a little bit differently, but I'm as guilty of this as anyone, whether it's the daily shows and all the stuff that I used to have to do or still do now is that you're trying to think of all these different storylines. Like, what does this mean?

What does this mean? But I've said it before, when they were in the Western, or excuse me, when they were in the Eastern Conference finals at 17, they were, they, people thought they were going to that year kind of rebuilding. And then that's when people were going Brad Stevens for president and the absurd topics of like, how many players do you take before you take Brad Stevens? Because of 2017 and guys are trying to say like, maybe four or five players, then I take Brad Stevens.

I love Brad Stevens. That's one of the dumbest things we've said in modern NBA history, where you'd be like, I'll take Brad over the other 445 guys. That's ridiculous. But that's the kind of stuff we were doing because they're like, wait, why? How are the Celtics already this good? And then you see what happens to them in 17 when they play LeBron. It's like, oh wait, like they're not that good. And they still went seven, right? That was an 18. They went seven where I mean, it really came down to the last few possessions

and the cells could have gotten to the the finals there and that was without Kyrie because he wasn't there for the game. And so I think them being ahead of schedule early has led to more concern than perhaps warranted of like as if they're this seven year failure prior to what happens here. 2020, I felt like it's more of a toss-up as opposed to the gambling odds. 2023 was devastating. Yeah, that was the bad one. That was horrifying. So you have 22 where you're like,

I don't know if I really trust these guys to close out against Curry, and it doesn't happen. 23 is a disaster. So I think 22 and 23 are baked into some of the, I think some of the concerns are warranted. Look, I've watched them all season long and there are moments where I'm like, what are you guys gonna do?

Just gonna ISO in this huge possession and then nobody's gonna move and nobody's gonna pass? Like, are you gonna fall into these traps if the three point shots don't fall? Like that has to be a concern for anybody that's watched them. But I feel like it's added layers that have nothing to do with the 24 roster because this is the best

team of all of these teams they've had throughout this entire run, however short they've come up in the conference finals. Yeah. Yeah. And it's funny too, because that's like the big picture Celtics. And then the small picture is that Jason Tatum, I don't remember a finals where it's like, yes, obviously legacies are always on the line, but if the Celtics lose this, it's Jason Tatum, we told you he's not that good, and if the Celtics win this, he's going to go play the Olympics and then get a Supermax, which will be the biggest contract at the time before Luka signs his, and then we're going to have the conversation

as Jason Tatum, the best player in the league, because you know that's coming. So it's like the volatility of this finals for him personally is absolutely insane. Totally, totally agree. I mean, think about it this way and how absurd this can all be is and this is why I try to push back on it. But at the same time too, it's not like you've memorized every little intricate detail of all these players. We're like, well yeah, but in 83 when Tony, and they were like, what? Tatum can play the exact same series, right? He'd play the exact same series. He'd come down to the last few possessions

and they could lose in game seven. Luka is better than everybody else. I don't think there's really any debate about that. I mean, other than Jokic, but as far as the series, like there is a, I think a significant gap between Tatum and Luka, even if the numbers would tell you it's a little bit closer.

But Tatum could be great the whole time. Conversely, Luca could be great the whole time. And then the opposing team hits that one big shot towards the end, and then we act like that player is completely different. Not so much even for Luca, because I think most people look at this and be like, okay, this is a nice little reminder that last year was Fluki, and he's probably

the best offensive bet for one possession of any player in the league. But the Tatum thing's gonna be weird, because I'm gonna go like, all right, well, he's probably the best offensive bat for one possession of any player in the league. But the Tatum thing is going to be weird because I'm going to go like, all right, well, he's awesome. He's awesome. It's awesome to have Jason Tatum as your best player, but I'm not going to start putting him ahead of Giannis and SGA. It'll be interesting to see how far somebody goes with it because somebody,

people won't be able to help themselves the morning after it happens. But my general point is the player is usually the same, but the outcome is different and history is only to remember the winners. But then we have to add this other part of like, well, can't Tate him just still be awesome and be like a top seven guy? Like, no, no, no, do you not understand the rules?

Yeah, right. We've got to say, would you rather have him than SGA, which I think would be wrong, even if he wins it. Yeah, I think the rules are if he wins, if he wins finals MVP Celtics win, then he's the number one two or three player in the NBA. If he loses then he's outside the top ten entirely. And a bum. And he won't be outside of the top ten. No, he's a fraud. These are the rules. He'll be a fraud, right? These are the rules. Yeah, no, I'm saying if he loses we will drop him him. I can I can sense Hank You can't get to ten you can't be reasonable

Right, it's ten. No problem. I will try to get to ten. Give me give me the hypothetical Loses the series in six We got yokich. Yep. We got Donchich. Yep. We've got bead and bead SGA why does he always get a pass for just never being? Oh, hey, hey, hey, shut the fuck up. Well, we're just doing this hypothetical. We're doing a hypothetical and bead. So that's for Yonis.

We we we did Yocic. Yeah. Yocic, Yonis twice and bead Yonis SGA. That's five. Anthony Edwards. Next up next, Michael Jordan. That's six. Jalen Brown played better than Tatum in the finals. So he's at seven. Yeah, that's true. I get the KD in there still to KD. You got to put him in there out of respect. LeBron LeBron, a great player and Anthony Davis. I was going to say James Harden, but yeah, he's hard. Is I in two. He doesn't get hurt. He doesn't get hurt. Look out. Trey Young. Trey Young. You love Trey Young.

Who yelled Trey Young? Yeah, I can keep these names. Oh, Kurt Steph. We didn't say Steph. Oh, Steph. It might be like 15 if you let us keep going. Yeah, Tate Maxey. Maxey, Tyrese Maxey.

Is he getting warmed up? Maxey, Maxey. Oh, Jaylen Brunson. Jaylen Brunson. Jaylen Brunson. Great point. Absolutely. Say what you want about him.

He would never lose in the finals. Yep. Yep what you want about he would never lose in the finals. Yep. Yeah. Nope. He definitely won't lose in the final. Yes. Yes. He will not lose.

You didn't mention my guy Booker. Yeah, Devin Booker. He's out of them. Yeah. Oh, Wemby. What the fuck are we doing? Wemby might be number one. Guaranteed.

Yeah, we can. It's easy. This is an easy game to play. This is light work. I'll admit I have a problem with Embiid being named so soon. Oh, there we go. I just want that stated for the record. Why is that, Hank? Curious to know your thoughts on why you don't think Embiid should be top three.

I'm over it. Oh, okay. Go off. Max, you can unmute your mic, Max. Put the camera on yourself. Yeah, put the camera on. This is a Max versus Rosilla 1v1. Because he gets hurt. No, I'm willing to understand the the argument that he gets hurt. Oh Wow The guy understanding the glass we say he's made out of glass max Halsey like how are we supposed to predict Bell's palsy in the playoffs?

All right, what does that have to do with like someone's like medical consistency? It's fucking Bell's palsy. What about everything else? All right, he still had a good playoffs. You can get Bell's palsy from using crutches too much. All right, so. That's a fact. So, Russel, you're over it. That's your opening statement to Max. To the world. To the world.

And what would be your follow-up to over it? So Zach Lowe, who we all love and have a tremendous amount of respect for, he was, I mean, we can't, I love, like, I can't get enough of the top five stuff, okay? I make myself do it before the season starts and I make myself updated again during the season. I'm a little bit more stubborn with it,

where I feel like, if Luka were to win this, forget Jokic, right? That guy's just invisible. And it's like, Luka's the best player. Like, there's not gonna be enough room on the Luka's to win this, forget Jokic, right? That guy's just invisible. It's like Luka's the best player. There's not gonna be enough room on the Luka's the best player. I'm gonna like emphatically, I may even tweet out, be like, Jokic is still the best player in the world. Just wanna remind everybody, not a big deal.

I have Luka too. I voted Luka too for MVP. But when it comes to Embiid, I think for the longest time, because I think a lot of us that were neutral or fans were huge fans of the personality. Felt bad about all the different injuries. Felt bad about people giving him shit for being upset after the Toronto series. And then Ben Simmons taking swipes at him.

And then Ben Simmons mentally shutting down and never being the same except posting workout videos all the time. Simmons mentally shutting down and never being the same except posting workout videos all the time. And then Ben Simmons posting another thing when the Sixers had lost the playoffs and he's fucking at home doing nothing like trolling the Sixers and Embiid. I was team Embiid for a really long time. I voted MVP two years ago and I had a really hard time with that vote because I just didn't know. I was like, are you going to feel great about this the way the rest of it played out. But part of it's just because of how aggressive, I think Sixers fans were about the Embiid-Jokic argument, where I felt like they just really weren't even watching

Jokic, but were totally comfortable just dissing him the entire time as if it was insufferable, or actually they were insufferable, insulting to suggest that anybody was better than Embiid. And like at this point, like what am I supposed to do with him? Zach Low was like, he's irrefutably in the top four. And I was like, let's refute.

Yeah. Let's refute because it is, at least the way I have it, is I have it as Jokic, Luca, Janis, SGA, you could flip a coin with. I think it's those four. And that fifth spot is not reserved for Embiid for me anymore in the way that it was prior to the season. I mean, at some point, man, at some point.

This season, he was incredible. When he played this year, he was awesome. It was the best year of his career. What are you talking about? This might be the best new debate show. And he averaged 33-11-6 in the playoffs this year. Better than fucking Tatum's averages in the playoffs. And I just sent you guys a stat about Tatum yeah I saw that I saw that we'll get to that this might be the best new debate show because we're still just comes in calmly

with facts and then you just have an idiot screaming into a microphone I like max first of all but I sensed a tone change from max from the first time when we talked about him, V, to, it's like he needed to get warmed up. Yeah, it's worked out, yeah. Yeah, good to have you here. Uh, how about this? I don't give a fuck what any of his stats are. I just don't give a shit.

His PER was actually on track to be like the greatest single PER of anyone. I mean, those are incredible. I know what the numbers are. I know what the final totals are. You know what I'm sick of seeing? I'm sick of seeing playoff games where I need him to figure out a way to unlock the possession

and get him into his stuff on his own in a way that I don't think he's capable of doing the way other guys are. He's just not. And part of it's like the center position. He's this incredibly skilled guy for his size, which is what attracts us to what's possible with him. But I've just watched enough,

I'm not gonna debate people on this anymore. I've been saying it for fucking years. Catch, late possession, dribble, bring a late double. He's just, he hasn't figured out some of the stuff that he needs to do to get me beyond the 30, 15, and all the awesome shooting numbers that you get. Any MB any MB guy can beat me over the head with all sorts of stats. I'm asking you, if you're a Sixers fan, do you feel super comfortable in those moments where it's up to him? I don't. If you do, congrats to you for having unwavering

faith. But I want to know how many players like that you are comfortable with. Well, I have a question for you. Jason Tatum, no matter what, is the only guy on the court every single time you go to him. You comfortable? I think he can get himself into something easier than Embiid can. I think Embiid is still a dependent. I think in those possessions, I think Embiid is still someone that is kind of dependent upon someone getting him to where he needs to go to work from and that's just a simple big Guard perimeter. Yes, that's what you need to that's what you need to say is that there's no center in the league that could do what? We're still is talking about. Oh

Fuck there is yokich Damn it the guy sixers fans. Yeah, man straight years and then saw him in the finals and I just can't believe some of the sixer stuff. Oh man. I was trying to defend Max there Ryan. I got I guess I know too much ball. It's good. It made that a quote. Oh hey do you have any questions for a solollo? Hank is, Hank is, he's been through a roller coaster of these playoffs. He was very scared of the heat. Game two got him to a point that we hated seeing where we had to drag cocky Hank back out of them. He's now back to cocky Hank. He, no, he, he's feeling himself. Uh, but I know he also deep down, like there's

a lot of pressure because like we said, the cells has been around for a long time here in this iteration have not won anything. Everyone's going to talk about the East being so easy. He knows how much is at stake for him personally. He said he might not, he might just disappear from the internet if the cells don't win this series. So Hank, get your worries out to Rossella. How important is game one? Like can they lose game one and still win the series? Yes, absolutely. Cause that, that, that.

So you're scared. You just, you're so scared. You're terrified. I am thinking about game one. We need it to start. No, but you can't win two until you win one. You're not thinking about one game at a time because you're saying if we, if we lose game one, can we still win? You're not thinking about one game at a time because you're saying if we lose game one, can we still win?

You're already thinking about game two. Russel, is game one a must-win or a can't-lose? Blame Pi. Yeah. Jeez. Yeah, I don't know. I don't think it's, I think it's more important for Dallas

to get that first one. Oh, okay. So can Dallas win the series if they lose game one? Yeah. What? Oh, because, yeah, home court. How's that work? Because, no, if Dallas loses game one,

they have six other chances to get four. Yeah. They've still got, you know, they've got their home games all ahead of them. You can drive one to get one broke. Does anyone here, does anyone here think that like one team is severely better than the other one? I team, yes.

I'm betting on the Celtics to win easily, just so I can get really mad at the Celtics when they don't. I think the Celtics team is better than the Mavericks. I think Luca is better than everyone else on the Celtics team. Hank, you raised your hand in the background. You think there's a pretty big gap between Boston and Dallas? Yeah, I do, which makes me scared, because in the past, the Celtics team. Hank, you raised your hand in the background. You think there's a pretty big gap between Boston and Dallas? Yeah, I do. Which makes me scared if you know, because you know, in the past, the Celtics have kind of tightened up in some of these big games. So and they know they're the better team and if you know, somehow they drop one of the games early, then they're going to tighten up. That's my, that's my biggest fear. They're the better team and they know that,

but you lose one a game. Maybe it's a close game and all of a sudden like things get tight. Pressure pressure gets turned up. Pressure creates diamonds. Yeah, I I in 22. I pick Golden State. The statistical models were all over Boston. I mean, some of the models were absurd how much they love the Celtics and their chances of winning the finals. And I was like, God, this feels like really dismissive of who Golden State is. This time around. I don't want to be dismissive of Dallas because I don't know that you can look at any of the year long stats.

They're two completely different teams. They have bottled up some really good offensive players here in the playoffs. They, you know, they, they shut down an Oklahoma city team that you thought like, okay, at least they're going to score. Like, can you really turn off their offense? And other than SGA going crazy, like that game for SGA, that's not supposed to happen, hit every mid-range shot to start pulling up,

because he knew he had to do it all on himself because of how good the defense has been from Derek Jones and PJ taking on SGA and the rim protection and Kyrie being more aware and locked in off the ball and showing like real effort for the first time that I think I've seen in like six years from him defensively because I think he's had some decent moments in the past and where Luca who's not good defensively it hasn't been an issue and he hasn't been targeted.

I have a ton of respect for them but I just feel like Boston can attack him in a way that hasn't happened before at least in these, and maybe they figure it out. But I've just seen too many series, man, where game one happens, and then everyone thinks that the rest of the series is going to go the way game one goes. It's just not the way sports work. 48 hours later. And also you'd have to think if Boston's down, that because they've been through this before, that has to mean something.

It has to mean something that Drew Holliday has been through some of the stuff, not with this group, but all the years that he's been in Milwaukee. And my favorite thing I've ever learned from this is like when you're down and the other team is close to you in talent, that other team should be so motivated

to not be blowing the series. And look, the Minnesota series could have gone a couple couple different ways if Minnesota just Didn't screw up with the basketball down the stretch but luke is the best closer in the game and that's kind of what you're faced with so if it ends up being a bunch of close games And boss has not hit three-point shots like this could easily go dallas's way But I still think boston has more options than they faced so far if someone on the celdics was going to win

Finals nvp not named j Jason Tatum or Jalen Brown, who do you think it would be? I think, because Derek White could probably be somebody they ignore, and he hits a ton of threes. But remember, the final stuff becomes like almost Heisman momenty. Like whether it's the quarterback Super Bowl thing or it's, hey, leading scorer, best player,

whatever, we'll give it to Tatum, give it to Luca. But there have been other times where I think like, Jaylen Brown won the Easter Conference Finals MVP because of the three-point shot, and then I think finding Derek White for that other big three against the Pacers. I think Tatum's clearly more important. The way other teams defend,

they're more worried about Tatum first and then Jalen second. Same thing happened against Miami with Hero on Jalen Brown and then Caleb Martin on Tatum. Same thing happened against Cleveland where Strew starts on Jalen Brown and Rikoro's on Tatum. They actually switched that one because Brown was going off. And then with the Pacers, they had Neesmith, who's their best equipped bigger wing. He starts out on Tatum. And I think that should matter somewhat when you're looking at who's actually dictating what's

happening in all of these games. Yeah, the finals MVP becomes a popularity vote unless you're named Steph Curry. Yeah, I still hate the 15 vote so much. I hate that vote. It's like, yeah, but Iwodala. You're like, what? It's such a funny trivia that he right and it turns into someone finals MVP

Yeah, see that's though defense is important. Yeah defense is important. What about the coaches? Yeah Can you give us a breakdown of of strengths weaknesses of kid and Missoula? I think kids strengths are something where it's like There's never gonna be a moment where he's ever gonna be something where it's like, there's never going to be a moment where he's ever going to be thrown off by any of it, right? He's played in the finals. He's coached a few different stops. I think the broadcast has done a good job in talking about how there's just this respect that you're going to have for kid that you're not gonna have for other coaches. You know, pro athletes, I mean, big cat knows, he's friends with tons of them.

These guys will absolutely stop listening to you the second they think they should stop listening to you. And usually that'll start with somebody who's like, what did this guy do again? He fucking played at West Virginia? Like, what? You know, where on the other side it's Jason Kidd, and it's not really the X's and O's

as much as it's getting the message across to these guys. But I think in a series, the coaches that it's this fine line of like, hey, this is who we've been, this is who we've been this entire season, this is where we're at now. So let's not freak out when Luca burns us on the thing that we want to do defensively. Let's not burn through a bunch of different looks just because a guy hit a three in the corner. But then I think some coaches are just like, I had all these plans and I told myself I was going to follow the course and now none of the things I was prepping for are working out this way. So let's like change everything. And then the players are like, wait, what the fuck are we doing? Like we mapped this out. We said these are going to be our rules.

We said this is how we're going to hand send help or not send help to Luca. And now TJ Washington hits three shots in the first quarter, and we're going to start scrambling as if the whole playbook is thrown out. And I don't think Kid would ever be that way. And you know, Missoula is a tougher scattering point because he just hasn't been around as long, and the team is loaded. Yeah. Couldn't you say that that's actually a strength of Missoula as well, scattering report because he just hasn't been around as long and the team is loaded. Yeah

Couldn't you say that that's actually a strength of Missoula as well where he has his system and he just keep because like The celtics when they don't shoot well from three can look like the worst team in the nba Like they've had it a couple times in these playoffs were twice But he's like this is our system. We're gonna keep doing it It's not we're not gonna just change it because we they're not changing that yeah Yeah, I think you're absolutely right. And like maybe stubborn is the wrong word there. But when you think about the body of work here, you're like, wait, you want me to do something different? Because there's going to be a night, a few

threes don't go in. I think my biggest issue with the Celtics and we've talked about the closing part of it. And there was that Atlanta regular season loss where I was like, are you guys seriously going to do this? Like you're serious. Like when they blew the game to Cleveland and the other part of the lesson here is that we don't really have that many games like this to really even point to. And then with any Dallas bad stretches, we just kind of erase them because you're like, okay, well they close the season 12 and three, they had this incredible defense, so what is there really to critique?

But the analogy that I've, I've used before is if you have a really special score, okay, and he's getting his 22 shots up a game You know there's gonna be five shots in there where you're like, what were you thinking on that? Like that's just a contested shot. You missed a read here. This was too early to shot clock Like what are you doing? But the problem is and it's not really even a problem But like that's almost a tax not to get into that topic. That's a tax. Those five shots that you don't love are all baked into the rest of the shots were like, I can't believe he made that or I can't even believe he was confident

in his abilities enough to even take this shot, especially in a playoff game, where you're going to need guys taking really difficult shots, because other guys are just not going to be as comfortable. And that's what the superstar is tasked with. The Celtics from a team standpoint, I'll watch all these games and I know they're going to shoot a million threes and they do a great job of just stretching the defense out in all of these different corners. But there's also going to be five or seven threes where like, I know you are really three

point happy and I know everybody has a green light, but that was like 16 seconds left in the shot clock and you took that one like into the break off or dribble and you didn't even look at what the defense was presenting you and you decided that was the best shot and it was way too early. So even though their overall shot quality is really, really high, I guess I'm being a little too stubborn with it.

Well, I mean stubborn again isn't really the right word, but being too critical of the handful of possessions that every team is going to have in every big game, you're like, what the hell was that? But did anybody make you take that bad shot or did you just decide to go ahead and take it? And that's been the green light part of the Celtics team. Yeah. All right.

My last question for you, Ryan, is do you have numbers

that you can share with us in terms of in the gym right now? What are we currently working with? Okay, obviously you always get the injury stuff with me, but got 24 reps. No excuses, you can't do that after you do the embed stuff. That's fair. Well if he put up 24 reps of 225, let me know. Oh Ryan was so I'm over it I'm over always hurt always hurt always does it as a caveat for his bench press almost killed himself Building a squat rack in his garage over it. No, I'm not dying today

Not dying like this. You should do is a script a Guy who dies know the end of the movie. No, you're like it's like Lone Survivor, but it's just Ryan Roussel versus squat rack I've got one for sale anybody's interested. Okay, where do you squat in these days? Oh I haven't squatted now for a while. I Know we could tell on your legs over it What are you squatting these days? Oh, I haven't squatted now for a while. Oh, I can tell. We could tell on your legs. Over it. We could tell.

I saw those pictures. We could tell. I commented using several burners. Yeah, we could tell. Who stapled these twigs to Rosilla's torso? I feel like you passed over that bench press number kind of quickly. 225, 24 times?

I asked somebody for a spot, and then he was like, what are you? That happens. Because I was like, what are you, that happens. Cause I was like, I'm feeling it today. I was like, I feel really good today. I was like, let me see what I could do. Let's see, let's see what happens. And then I just, you know what I did towards the end? I was struggling and I went, choose to be strong.

Oh. Strength is a choice, that's good. That is huge. Mind over matter. Yeah. Yeah, so I was like, wait, how many more do you have? I go, hey, why don't you just choose to be strong? Choose strength.

Hashtag to create hashtag, choose strength. Yes. Speaking of, hey, what happened with Billy football on a few different fronts? Oh, where do you want to start? His political career seemed quick. Derailed, yes, it got derailed. I was ruined for-

What happened? I was ruined for Billy. He was trying to get the signatures necessary to be the Republican candidate in New York's third district. And he ran up against the establishment, who challenged all of the signatures. And they found a couple errors in the signatures with addresses, things like that.

Basically, they had lawyers. Billy didn't have lawyers. So they just kept suing him and filing court cases against him to the point where Billy was like, I can't do this. I can't pay for it anymore. That sucks. Okay. Yeah. The fire fest guy challenged him a fight or was he just trying to promote his brand? I think probably safe to say he's promoting his brand. Yeah. Yeah,

I don't think he wants anything to do with Billy. I mean, I've seen the footage. No. Yeah. I mean't think he wants anything to do with Billy. I mean, I've seen the footage. No. Yeah. I mean, I mean, I mean, you're Billy. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know because because FireFest Billy just won his first kickboxing match. He knocked the dude out. So the fire. Yeah, the FireFest guy wants to kickbox Billy is just a he's a prize fighter. Yeah, we can't sanction a kickboxing fight. And we also I think after the Jose Canseco fight we made a hard and fast rule don't do the fight business with guys who are known schemers. You think the FireFest guy is a known schemer? Let's hear him out. You are in the fight game though. It is true. There's always some gray area in there. That is true.

Imagine if the FireFest guy kicked Billy football's ass. I think he'd be the new Billy football. Yeah, we'd have to hire him. He'd have to get the surname football. Oh, I don't wanna see that. No, I don't wanna see that either. We shared it on the pod today and I know everybody has to run here,

but I like to update different confrontations that I have throughout my life because I've gotten to a point where I'll just say, hey, I think you're doing this wrong. Instead of stewing and being quiet, like how we mostly do, and be like, I gotta worry about myself here a little bit, I'm gonna just say, hey,

I was at the Equinox in Soho, and some kid had the rope pull down. I asked if he was using it, it was on the ground, and he was using a different attachment on the cable, and he said, yeah, I am gonna use it. And I was like, it's on the ground. And he's like, yeah, I'm using it, it was on the ground, and he was using a different attachment on the cable, and he said, yeah, I am gonna use it. And I was like, it's on the ground. And he's like, yeah, I'm using it. I was like, okay.

I already sized him up, dickhead, probably went to choke across. So I got my timer going to keep my pace lined up with my goals. And five minutes go by, my timer, he hasn't touched the ropes, the rope pull down thing, so I just grabbed it. He's like, whoa, what are you doing?

And I was like, you realize what you're doing? I was like, do you realize that if everybody did this, like took future accessories and piled them up around them so that you wouldn't have to wait, that would fuck up the entire ecosystem we have here, right? And he still just could not understand, he could not understand that I thought what he was doing was wrong.

So the other night, Wanda Swinger golf club, first time since calf tear. Seventh hole, I'm lining up a putt on the green, par three at night here in LA, and the guy hits right onto the green. And I go, hmm, that's weird. All right, whatever, par three, rules are out the door, nice shot. And then I was like, maybe it's a one-off. I blade my tee shot on eight, he's walking up, sees it, goes, nice shot.

And I was like, wait, what? I'm like, am I actually getting the business from this kid? And then as I walk from the tee box to my tee shot, which is just behind the green, I was gonna have to chip up over this mound to get it back on, I did, save par. And as I'm walking down the fairway, he just tees off again and actually sticks it

right at the pin. And so then I wait till nine, I go, what the fuck are you doing? And he's like, I'm sorry sir, I'm just very confident in my abilities. And I, and I, that guy rules.

Right. And I went like, and he was athletic, he was an athletic build. And I was just looking at him. And I thought, to your point about sizing people up, I was like, well, if he's that good at golf, he can't be tough. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good point. Right? Right. Yeah. Yeah. If you're really, really good, like if you hit a couple good shots every now and

again, then you can be like, you might be an athlete. Yeah. The fluid nature of a swing is not a tough guy thing. He's gotta practice a lot of golf. Probably hangs out with other golfers. That's what I said to him. I go, if you're this good, then you should know what you're doing is kinda fuckin' stupid. I was like, what do you think,

what's gonna happen here? And what do you think? He's like, I just really wanted to play with you, man. And like condescending TikTok voice. And I went, all right. And I was like, okay. And my favorite thing to do is like, oh yeah, you're right, you're right, I'm wrong.

I'm the wrong one here for being annoyed by the shit you're doing. And then as I finished up on 10, I was talking to these other guys, because he's like, yeah, he yelled in my backswing. And then his final act of defiance is he hit his T-shot off a 10, and as we were walking away from the green, he screams for the top of his lungs

and his shot was like on the total other side of the green. I kind of like that. He was just an asshole. I kind of like this guy. There was some good pranks. That's a good bit. I like this guy. I kind of want to be friends with him.

Right, the story of at the gym, you texted me that because that was the night after the Wisconsin JMU game that we went to Yeah, speaking of confrontation The never-ending but but when you when you texted that to me you were like I'm hungover got into a verbal Altercation at the gym. It made me realize one of the best cures for a hangover that no one ever talks about Getting into an altercation with some gas it gets your blood getting into an altercation with someone. Yes.

It gets your blood going. Adrenaline boost. It gets some adrenaline. You get like clear, your brain turns clear, it eliminates all the fog to it. I like to jerk off instead of that, but yeah. Smoke weed, jack off, or get into a verbal altercation in public.

Yeah, a safe one, a safe one, controlled area. Right, because getting stabbed would probably make the hangover. The hangover part would go away, but then you're not gonna have different issues. But I love these little moments, because as I've aged, I start to think more of us are aligned, more of us want the right things. More of us, and I just think we need

to develop Fuck Up Island. You ever watch, like Moonraker and James Bond, the guy just wanted to blow up the whole planet and start over with a bunch of tall, hot blondes? That's aggressive. But if you just had, hey, you guys wanna. That did that. Yeah.

You guys just wanna punk each other and get in each other's way, scam systems and fuck everything up for everybody else, make fraudulent insurance claims. Like here's Fuck Up Island. You guys just all live there and you can all deal with each other and all the consequences consequences while the rest of

us that don't want to be like that'll be over here. Maybe we'll get some more stuff done. So that was a perfect ending because you just you came up with fire fest. No, I came up with Billy football's new campaign strategy of fuck up island. I think you can't buy houses anymore. I think you just invented jail. Yeah, Australia. Yeah, future. Yeah, Australia. I reinvented maybe Australia rebranding. Yeah, future. Yeah, Australia. Maybe Australia rebranding. Yeah. All right. Well, Ryan, you're the best. We

love having you on. Hopefully we'll see you soon. Maybe grit week. So yeah, well, I don't know, sans boat. We'll see. Maybe you can rent something. Maybe Hank will have a lead on something and we can have him captain it. Yeah. Oh, that would be so emasculating. What if you still had your boat and Hank just stepped onto his like, I'll take this from here. Yeah. Oh, that would be so emasculating. What if you still had your boat and Hank just stepped onto his like, I'll take this from here. Yeah. Captain Hank's aboard. Don't worry. Would be tough, but I'd know that Florida training in a second. Yeah. Oh man. All right. Thanks Ryan. Thanks guys.

We're still was brought to you by NCAA college football. It's here. It's here. You've seen the clips. You've seen the trailers. The new college football game is here with campus IQ gameplay.

Me personally, if I was a coach in college football, I would make sure that if I had a five star recruit on campus, I would know their name

and I would say their name to their face if I did a video with them. That's the difference between me when I'm playing college football and some actual college football coaches. There's also iconic atmospheres, traditions, pageantries, sounds, sites of college football and some actual college football coaches.

Okay, Henry, let's finish up

with guys on chicks. Dudes on chicks. Dude, dude, this is going to rock so hard. So hard. No, no, Hank, you're, did you hear that PFT? Hank is- He's mocking. Hank is- I'm echoing. That was the definition of an echo. I think that Hank thinks his job is to just tell people why all their ideas are not realistic. Yeah, can everyone who's- This is insane. Everyone who listens to this, please-

This is insane. Insane. Please treat me if you think I should let Hank come to DudeFest, because his attitude stinks about DudeFest. Imagine being on the wrong side of history at DudeFest. What have I done or said that would suggest I'm on the anti-DudeFest? A lot, just play it back.

Yeah, I'm just trying to iron out your thoughts. Hey, let me ask you. Do you want to come to DudeFest? Of course. Are you sure? Yes. Do you want to present at DudeFest? We should do a dart dart like a nine darter

I've got an idea for the challenge for the start of it I've got an idea from the start of it. Yeah, Hank you want to lead everybody and I want to stand with you in a mountain Yes, I'll name the song uh truly madly deeply. Do you want to do it? Yeah, I'd love to unfortunately we don't have You got cut again, so darts is a great idea, Hank. You're back in on DudeFest. Max, do you want to do truly madly deeply? I'd love to. Okay, great. That's something where we should pay, like, there's certain budgets, like, big time weightlifter, we need to pay for that. And the guy who whistles, got to pay for him and Darts we should get a couple professional darters

Hey PMT guys my boyfriend, and I always discuss this would you rather Would you rather all of your teams win this year and never again or let it play out as it normally would? Both ways you don't know about the choice that would be made. Thanks guys love the show Yeah, this is definitely dude. There's no way that So are you saying his girlfriend all my all my teams win? This is a guy and his buddy in one calendar year, and then it never happens again I know it's never gonna happen again. No you don't I don't know that it's never gonna happen Don't know it's gonna happen again I think you gotta take the year. It would be a great year. Well because all right I'm thinking about all

all my teams so I'm thinking about my college teams too and I don't think that my college teams are ever gonna win a title so I'm basically getting a guaranteed one that I would never get right? So the way I'm breaking it down I've been fortunate enough to have CAP Stanley Cup champions, nationals, World Series champions. So I would get wizards and commanders. But all in the same year. And I've, I barely remember the Redskins in 1991, 92. I think, I think I would take it. I, sweeping the entire board for an entire year. I mean, you just... you have that for

the rest of your life. You're like, that year was the greatest year of my entire life. You know what I would do? If that happened to me, I would retire from being a sports fan. Yeah. I'd walk away on top. I'd be like, this is... it's been great. See you guys.

But you wouldn't because you wouldn't know. I'd secretly... Yeah. I wouldn't know, but I feel like it might be a move to just say, like, this is as good as my life will ever get as a sports fan. I think I would take it. Yeah, because if you don't take it, you're basically trying to say that you'll win more over the course of your life otherwise. I don't, yeah.

But life is, listen, you never know when it's going to end. And you don't wanna be looking back, being like, I never got to see the one team that I really wanted. The key here is to know that you wouldn't be able to know that that was the end. Because if you knew it was the end, I think that changes the whole hypothetical,

where if you got all your championships in one year, but then you knew at the end of that year you would never win another one, I don't think I'd take that. But maybe if, so if, speaking from mine and your perspective, if we had this year, and for you, Wisconsin football and basketball won, and women's hockey, if James Madison won

the national championship in football, in addition to all of my other sports, I think I would figure out that something was going on. I'd probably think, I'm already dead. No, you'd be like, this is going to keep happening. Like, this is just, this is my life now. It's me? Is that how it goes, Hank? Before you realize you're never going to win again?

So yeah, I think that's the answer. As long as you had the ability to not know what was happening, because if you knew that you would never ever taste it again I think it would be it would ruin sports for you for the rest of your life. If you just what happens Yeah, if you were guaranteed no, but you're not you're still you still don't know what's gonna happen true sup dad cat PFT bagger and handsome Hank My husband will only buy fall scented candles despite it being a billion degrees outside

Our house always smells like a brisk October morning He says it's to remind him that football exists right around the corner. That's heaven is this normal behavior. Yes. It's genius behavior. It's genius It's really even in the summer. What do you want your house to smell like in the summertime the ocean? I'd rather know I want to go to the ocean, but I want to I want to smell football Yeah, I'll smell leaves pumpkin. Let's not football pumpkin in the summer. Yeah, I was thinking about this yesterday I Kind of wish Football season was in a different part of the year

No, hear me out. No, hear me out. I won't hear me out real quick. I actually don't want to hear you out season was in a different part of the year? No. Hear me out. No. Hear me out. I won't. Just hear me out real quick. I actually don't want to hear you out. Hear me out.

I think... So obviously fall is the best because of football season. But would fall... Would the spring be the best because of football season? If it was... If football season was in the spring and here's why. We always have the summer going into football season and I find myself I know this is wrong trying to wish away the summer which is the best season in terms of weather I try to

wish away the summer to get to football season I kind of wish we had summer after football season no no you're wrong you're wrong if you we do have spring football and maybe I just wish we lived in Australia. I would solve it, right? The seasons feel different? I like the fact that football, it's like a warm blanket over you as the days get colder. I agree, but I'm saying more, what if football season started in Thanksgiving and ran Thanksgiving to April.

And then we had all summer. So in the spring, if you're watching football on a beautiful, beautiful Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, whenever the games are, you feel like to a certain extent, you should be doing something outside. That's a fair point. If you're in the fall and it's getting shitty outside. September and October, though.

You're like, I'm gonna be inside watching football all day, staying warm in my house. But you do have those feelings September and October. That's why I'm saying keep the winter football. Keep late, late fall winter football. Again, this is a dumb idea. I'm only saying this because I found myself wishing away summer, which happens all the time where I'm like I wish football season would get here and you shouldn't wish away summer

But that's just my natural cuz you have this big dangling carrot at the end of summer that I'm so excited for so when's the draft I don't know Again, this also isn't something I'm hoping would they would change I'm hoping they could like men in black all of us and change it without us knowing I guess it would also matter what sport would take its place in the fall I don't fucking know because if there's no sport then it's just we get like the the dead days of baseball for longer but think about if football started in late October and went till April. And then it's like summer. Move playoff baseball up.

Why like that? September starts when playoff baseball and then when playoff baseball is over, football starts. So yeah, it's not that we don't get fall football. We still get a lot of fall football. It's just we don't, I just hate wishing away the summer, but I find myself doing it all the time. I think for the kids out there going back to school, you need football on TV. Yeah, no, I agree. Listen, I love the fall. I love the you go to college and you're so excited because college football

right off the bat, you don't have to like waste your way through two and a half months of just going to class. I just would. I would love for someone to figure out a way for me to stop wishing away this summer. Maybe I'd have got to get a boat. You should get a boat. Have Hank captain it. You try to do that.

What? You threw that out there last year. Buying a boat and having you captain it? Mm-hmm. Now knowing your boat record. It's immaculate. I don't want to do this again. I don't want to do this.

Are you a strong swimmer. Yeah, good. All right last one Not a lot of good ones. All right, that was the last one. All right. Yeah be better AWLs Send them in or memes or memes memes be better be ashamed some Pissed off memes went back on a pip. Yep. That would be a shame. Memes is never on a pip. Well, personal pip.

Oh, he's definitely been on a pip. Personal pip. Yeah. Well, legally we can't tell him. Oh, we can't? Actually, no, I guess you can. No, I think you have to. You have to.

What's the point? Yeah. You're on a secret pip. He's been in and out of pips. He's like, he's been... Pipsy hustle. Yeah. You could count more days that Memes is not on a pip,

or more days that he's on a pip than not on a pip. Is that right, Memes? Yeah, this is a great conversation. All right, let's finish up. Great show, boys.
