seventh or eighth day of the quarantine. The apocalypse is upon us. PFT, you're in a bad mood,
not a bad mood, but you're a down mood to start. I said, are you ready to go? And you're like,
yeah, so let's talk it out. Let's get it out before we get some sports news.
I mean, I was in a bad mood because we're only like two weeks away from the kill your grandparents
challenge. And like, there are some people that I really like that are a little bit older. But
you know what, they told me that it was okay. So I'm just trying to see things from their point of
view. Well, I have no grandparents left. So what do I win? Well, no, it's killing your grandparents.
So I have to find somebody's grandparents to kill. Okay, so but I don't have so I don't have
grandparents either. We're like playing laser tag. And I don't even have the vest on. So if you come
up, I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going to kill someone's grandparents if I'm not allowed
to leave my house. So I mean, life finds a way. So I'll figure out life does find a way. I think
we're just going to just go back and forth with our mood. So like Sunday, I was pretty down today,
you're pretty down, we just got to we got to find that ying and the yang, you you go down, I'll go
up, I go down, you go up, we'll figure it out Hank, we'll just stay relatively high and playing video
games for the next three months and we'll be good. Stay medium shout out Jim Zorn. Yeah, I did see
somebody like right after our show was released. A guy that I follow on Twitter, burrito bros shits
tweeted like that feeling when you tune into the sports comedy podcast and they're more depressed
than you are. Yeah, dude. I mean, listen, I'll bring the energy today. You pick me up on Sunday.
Let's start with some Cam Newton news. Cam Newton gets cut from the Panthers officially over. It is
a little weird when something like that happens because Cam Newton like was the Panthers. Do you
know what I mean? The Panthers obviously haven't been an organization for that long. It's Jake
DeLome. It's Cam Newton and Cam Newton was, you know, the heyday of the Panthers. He was an MVP
and he also never had a really good wide receiver besides Steve Smith and got screwed out of probably
some great years of his prime, carrying a bad Panthers team to the Super Bowl in 2015. And now
it's all over. And what did the Panthers do right after they signed a wide receiver for like the
second most money they've signed a wide receiver for in the last 10 years. That is funny. Yeah,
the best wide receiver he's played is probably Ted Ginn and then Steve Smith. Yeah, well, Steve
Smith. Yeah, I'm not not counting him. He was already there before him, but they got Ginn. They
got Devin Funches and Kelvin Benjamin, Kelvin, and that's about it. Ray Carruth was on the overlap
there. So they had in 2015, Cam Newton won the MVP of the NFL, throwing for 35 touchdowns and
running for 10 touchdowns. He took the Panthers to a 15 in one record and his wide receivers were
Ted Ginn, Devin Funches, Corey Brown, and the 33 year old Jericho, Jericho Cotchery. That's
incredible. Like just put that out there. And whenever someone, and I know Cam is kind of a
polarizing figure sometimes because he does make it about himself a lot, but who cares? He's an
unbelievable player and he had an unbelievable career and they did them him no favors. Basically
his entire time with the Panthers. I was looking through it. There's a guy I went through like
every single year of Cam Newton and who were his wide receivers. So the first few years he had Steve
Smith, but he also had a guy there was a year of 2014. His receivers were Kelvin Benjamin,
Jericho Cotchery, Corey Brown, and Brenton Berson. That's a real guy. That's a real guy. He also had
a year where he had Kelvin Benjamin, Devin Funches, Curtis Samuel, and Russell Shepard.
All real guys that played with Cam. Yeah, I wish that we had been doing our Chris Berman's for
that. Like I'm not a I'm not a perfect person would have been pretty solid to do that. Like
they're just flowing off the tip of my brain right now. But yeah, he's Cam is it's like always brides
made never abroad in terms of the receivers that they brought in. He's a big 27 dresses guy at the
podium too. But yeah, they signed a good wide receiver all of a sudden. And now Cam is like
he's on the receiving end of business decision right now. The Panthers are moving on. It's crazy.
They got a fifth round pick for Kyle Allen. I'm sorry, Kyler Allen. He was more Kyle than Kyler
Murray. So he took the ER. And so they get a fifth round pick for him. And now they couldn't get
anything for Cam Newton because of the coronavirus not making it possible to have like a reputable
physical done on a quarterback so they couldn't trade them for anything. And so now he's just
kind of like going to test the free market. And there are a few different destinations that I would
like to see came at just for just for the excitement of all of it. All right, let's go through them.
And I also should mention that in in very bears like fashion, they traded for and are paying Nick
Foles when they could have just waited and not traded for Cam Newton and just signed him. So that
was very classic. Like Ryan Pace probably saw the Cam Newton got cut and was like, wait, how that
can happen? Like, I didn't know that was a possibility. He just never saw that coming. Never
ever saw that coming. And now it's, it's just it's just perfect that that happened. So where would
you like to see him Patriots number one? Patriots number one, I'd still like to see him in Chicago.
Like why not? Why not bring me Chicago? Yeah, yeah, collect them all. Actually, that's a big
time John Gruden move I could see Gruden going after him because Gruden probably fell in love
with Cam Newton watching him in the booth on Monday night football. That's what Gruden does is if he
broadcast a couple of your games where you play well, he's just like he instantly will fall in
love with you and remember you for always and forever for being that guy that dominated. I'm
sure that he made a connection with him when he was doing Gruden quarterback camp thing where he'd
sit him down and in the room that was just filled with a bunch of VHS tapes and just like watch
film for like five minutes and just start orgasming spontaneously because the only one person that
John Gruden didn't love was it was Jimmy Kloss. Jimmy Kloss because he like made an excuse. He was
like, yeah, I may I made a route adjustment and my wide receiver didn't see it. He's like sounds
like you're blaming somebody else. He also didn't like Jay Cutler because John Gruden was friends
with Mark Trussman. So that was a very like he was very apparent and very like open about
his hate for how that all went. And I think I remember exactly when I realized John Gruden
just loved every quarterback no matter what it was the case Keenum Monday night football game
with the Texans. When he was saying the case Keenum was a ninja and he could see him like
being a franchise quarterback, I was like, okay, wait, hold on a second. John Gruden just likes
everyone. This doesn't make sense. You realize that you're kind of the sucker.
Jaws. Jaws, I remember at one point fell in love with Brody Croyle. And at that point I knew
yeah, Jaws just likes quarterbacks. All time name though. All time name. I think it was 0 and 10
with the Chiefs. So Cam Newton to the Patriots. Cam Newton to the Raiders would be interesting.
How about Cam Newton to the Broncos? Oh, yeah. Well, that out there kind of he kind of fits
the John Elway mold of like he's tall. Very tall. He's got a good arm. John Elway tends to like
more shall we say ham and eggs type of players. What do you mean? And Cam Newton. I think he likes
guys that are like coaches sons, like how do you mean like explain it. John Elway tends to like
guys that he would set up to marry his daughter. Oh, okay. So what like what so you're saying if
he wouldn't want Cam Newton in his house? I'm not saying that I'm just saying John Elway is the kind
of guy that he likes a quarterback that walks in the door and you're like, Oh, that guy he is a coach
on the field. Okay, so Chargers also I like that. How about Cam Newton going to the Bucks and backing
up Brady? That'd be nice. Yeah, hell yeah, I'd love to see that. I'd like to see what maybe the
Redskins maybe the R words collect all the old Carolina Panthers quarterbacks, you're getting
your guys in the door, you're installing your system. Why not? Yeah, that one makes sense. Or
how about Cam Newton? Actually, what about Cam Newton to the Texans because Bill O'Brien wants
to kill the Sean Watson. So you might want to back up plan there. That's pretty good. Yeah,
or Cam Newton to the Houston Roughnecks. They just lost PJ Walker. There you go. There you go. So
Cam Newton caught. Is there any other NFL news that's going around? I mean, I feel like I actually
I know what the other NFL news is going around. I don't know who started this rumor. But all of a
sudden I looked on Twitter on Monday, and people were like, please, you can't cancel the NFL season.
I was like, we're how we're who started this? Why are we talking about this? Don't even talk about
it. Don't don't. If you talk about it, then that means it's a chance there that it can be canceled.
So don't even bring it up. I mean, I think we started that rumor with Billy football. No,
getting everybody prepared. So we can't lose football season. No, we can't. So I don't that
scared the shit out of me when I saw that. That was the scariest thing I've seen in a while.
That's a big wake up call. But the markets are opening back up. We're going to get the markets
going again. So I think I think NFL season will be okay. But if for no other reason than to protect
Billy football senior year and ensure that we have an NFL season stay inside for now,
there was some other I saw you tweet about this today about how the Falcons assembling nothing
but first round picks is like a great strategy. Did they get another first round pick? I
Well, they got Lacan, Lacan Treadwell. And it is, I actually think that I'm the GM of the Falcons
because I have long been in favor of this strategy with my thoughts of Kevin White being an all-time
first rounder and Shane McClellan also having a first round grade, even though he was not a first
round talent. Like if you draft someone in the first round, they could suck for five years.
But when it comes to trading them, I'm like, yo, that was a first rounder. Like at one point,
Mel Kuiper had him in the first round. So it's somewhere in there. I'll take a chance on that.
Like give me Darko. He he was he was a lottery pick. I'll take a chance on that because at some
point someone believed that he was better than Carmelo Anthony. So I'm definitely able to trick
my brain. If you have that first round next to you, until you're the age of like 30, I think you
still got it. Oh, for sure. Yeah. And in a way, it's it's a great way to save money on a scouting
department. Let's just say you're the Bengals. You can just let every other team in the NFL do
your scouting for you. You just happen to pick up those guys four years later after they've already
kind of washed out a little bit. So you you capitalize on that where you're not spending
money. It's tough to do if you pick first overall. I think you just pick first overall, you just take
whoever Stephen A Smith is less likely to scream at you for drafting. So you just kind of minimize
your risk in that way. But yeah, I'm with you. They should actually get Kevin or Kevin White.
Yeah, they should. He's out there. He's out there to be had. So I would love for him to get for him
to hop on the Falcon stream. But yeah, I'm I watched the Falcons made a hype video
where it was Roger Goodell announcing all the first rounders, basically saying, like,
there's it's a combination of us sucking and us being like, we'll just buy everyone else's trash
to get this many first rounders. But the hype video got me so pumped up. And I walked away from
it thinking there is no chance in hell anyone is stopping the Atlanta Falcons next year.
It's also kind of a risky move for Dan Quinn, because you're you're collecting
a bunch of people that could be called coach killers. Yeah, a bunch of first round picks
that have kind of washed out a little bit. So that's the last person that you want around if
you're if you're Dan Quinn. There's one other piece of NFL news. I don't know if you saw this,
this was on Reddit, somebody sent me this link today from Eagles Nation 11, a longtime poster
on the NFL Reddit, he ran the numbers will saber metrics for you. And he calculated the
correlation between Mitch Trubisky's passer rating, and the number of strip clubs per capita in the
state in which he's playing. So kind of the James Harden thing. And using the data, he found that
there was a strong positive correlation between I think the amount of strip clubs per city, but
there's no correlation between the strip clubs per state that he pays in. So I don't know, does he
really love to kiss titties? Well, so there's so you this person, I like what they're doing,
I like the thought because that's quarantine brain, like I need something to do. But
anyone who knows anything knows that the NFL like they don't travel till Saturday afternoon,
and then they don't do anything. But I like the thought. Yeah, that's a good point.
So let's see a hole in it, like they literally go from from their facility, fly into the other
teams facility or you know, city, do their meeting, do their dinner, go to sleep.
I'll tell you what, I'm just my brain is ruined in terms of graphs right now. I can't read a graph
unless it's in logarithmic scale. Right. And it's in deaths. It needs to be deaths over time.
Give me deaths and give me a curve that gets flattened somehow like I guess the arc of Mitchell
Trubisky's passes or or if you're Clay Travis, just give me one day where the deaths go down
and then you can declare victory. Yeah, you know what we should start doing? Like a little
coronavirus positivity, the following people did not die yesterday of coronavirus and then just
list five people who are still alive. I was I was thinking actually about tweeting out at some point
just being like, C.C. Clay Travis, 100% of people on earth die. So kind of puts coronavirus in
perspective how pussy it is. That's no, that's that's a really good point. And it's like,
yeah, what are we going to get? Are we going to get upset because a couple dozen thousand people
pass away? Not me. I'm a big picture kind of guy. And when you look at it, the following people are
still alive. James Winston, Bill Murray, Tom Hanks, maybe Tom Hanks still alive. We don't know Bob
Barker. But well, is he? Yes, he was sort of. Yeah, that's what we should do. A little coronavirus
positivity going today. Tommy LaSorta is still alive. Tommy LaSorta, I would imagine coronavirus
gets on Tommy LaSorta, it just dies immediately on impact is just too much marinara. It's just
like it's soaks, it's soaks in the marinara. And the coronavirus becomes some delicious meatballs.
Our Tommy's just like, I'll kick your ass virus and virus. I don't want that smoke.
All right, quickly, before we do hot seat cool throne, we have to talk about everyone's skype
backgrounds in the sports world, even in the like business world too. If you do CNN,
everyone has their, you know, they're, they're Skyping in from their kitchen from their living room.
So we're basically getting a peek into every single person's home the last couple of weeks.
And it's fascinating to look at. So big picture. I just had one note at first, PFT, and I'll let
you go from there. But I think it's a big time try hard move like Orlovsky, I think I saw,
to have like the blatant I have kids thing where you're like, look at this, like, oh,
my kids did a hand paint on this football or look at this picture of my perfect family at the beach
where we're all wearing white linen clothes, like get that fucking shit out of my face. I know what
you're trying to do as a family man myself, people look at you differently when you're a family man,
they give you the benefit of the doubt. They're like, Hey, that guy can't be a serial killer.
He has kids, but I'm not buying it. Get the kids stuff out.
Dan Orlovsky has several game balls, but most of them aren't actually game balls. They're just
footballs with his kids hand prints on them. So he is constantly reminding people watching him,
Hey, if you're going to tweet at me about running out of the back of the end zone,
just remember you're doing that to a father of three, however many kids that he has set up.
So actually, you know what Dan should do? This just occurred to me. If I'm Dan Orlovsky,
he likes to joke about the whole running out of the back of the end zone thing.
His background should just be him like behind the end zone. And then to his right should be the end
zone. And then to his right again, should be like the five, 10, 15 yard line. So he's just permanently
in the back of the end zone when he's on TV. But yeah, so then in his setup, he's got a few game
balls. He's got a picture of a NFL player wearing number 69. That's Jared Allen. That's
that's homage to the back of the end zone. So he's like, that's what it was. I'm making the
joke before you can make the joke. Okay, all right. I thought it was just an homage to mutual oral
sex, which would be cool too. No, he he also has his most prominent commemorative football
celebrates a 300 yard passing game that he had against the Patriots. So I looked it up,
they lost that game 31 to 24. That's the Colts against the Patriots. That's not bad. You put
up 24 against the pass. You also have, for example, Will Brinson, who we consider a friend. He just
basically threw a bunch of shit behind him on his desk. He is the classic case of a guy who wasn't
ready for the intrusiveness of a home camera every single day, and being under like house arrest,
because his his stuff like get a shelf dude, he has no shelf. It's just random things. They're
tossed on his desk. And he looks like he you know what he looks like? He looks like a hoarder,
and that's coming from a hoarder. You don't want to look like a hoarder.
Well, it's it's extra funny for will because I think he did a show every single day from his house.
So he's used to it. But I mean, that's exactly what I would do.
I've noticed that there is a copycat leak big time and just about everyone has books behind them.
A lot of people own books. And I think it's because you want to make people think that
maybe you you could be a lawyer if you read enough of those books. And that be careful what you say
about me because I'll sue you. Maybe a little sub Twitter Mike Florio. I don't know. But there are
a lot of bookshelf stuff out there. Yeah, there are. It's it's definitely when you when you do the
bookshelves. It's a show off move like hey, I read I do appreciate guys like Nick Wright though
that did not see this pandemic coming whatsoever. And it's so clear that much like us, like Nick lives
in New York City. So his apartment probably isn't that big. He's just sitting like on the wall in
his kitchen, and threw a couple things up on the wall, being like, Hey, here's my office. But if
you I bet you if you took a step back, he's like, like his kids are eating breakfast like two feet
away from him because we're all live in New York City. And you can't possibly have an apartment
bigger than that. Yeah, he just has a Royals World Series ticket, a fake World Series ticket,
and then a giant Patrick Mahomes Super Bowl champion fake newspaper. So it's just all Kansas
City stuff. I guess the LeBron James real doll is just off screen, like maybe it's folded up in
the closet, going like lips to lips to feed on that one. I don't know just got folded up or
something. Actually, I bet the side of the door on his doorframe instead of like more marking his
children's height. It's just LeBron how tall he has been saying LeBron James is year over year.
So now it's like LeBron James six foot nine 320 pounds. Now that I'm looking at this, I think
that's just his refrigerator. I think he's sitting in front of his refrigerator. He's just got a big
like that's he's got an apartment that's not so big with the refrigerator is huge. Yeah,
you know, like well in New York City, sometimes you'll go into an apartment if you're looking for
apartments like this place is a box, but check out the sub zero. And you're like, All right,
fuck, man, I might have to I might have to rent this place because the refrigerator like did you
see that refrigerator? It's a little thing in New York that can really can can really it.
So the next one I had here was Mike Greenberg. So Mike Greenberg, he's in his house. He's got
a couple books behind him. They're the ones that Mrs. Greenberg has whitelisted for them. They
don't contain sexual content. So he's allowed to read those ones. One she hasn't burned yet
for him. And then there's probably the biggest big J flex of all time over his left shoulder,
which is the Northwestern Syracuse game ball in a game that he didn't play in, but it's called
the prose bowl, P R O S E bowl. So it's a match up between the biggest journalism schools in the
country. And I guess Northwestern won that one by 30 points, but they're not credited anymore
as a journalistic institution. They got their big J taken away. But Green is prominently displaying
that one. And he's got an Emmy. I should actually look up. What do you think Mike Greenberg won an
Emmy for? Probably get up. No, he probably is something like journalistic like E 60 Bob Lee
journalism story. Best ad read. Yeah, go ahead. Mike Greenberg's name is Michael Darrow Greenberg.
His middle name is Darrow. That's Darrow. Like the D A R R O W. Oh, wow. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Okay. And what do you want an Emmy for? This is by the way, people who don't just a little behind
the scenes. This entire segment was based off of greenies. This is 50s. Like, I like it. You're
like, and next up we have greeny. It's like, dude, that's how you wanted to talk about. I want to
touch on a greenie real quick. No, I've been looking at I've been looking at all these backgrounds
this week. It's been a source of great entertainment for me. I've been looking at him and I'm kind
of like kind of roasting him in my head. And then I realized like mine is yeah, we all look like
yeah, we all have shit. Oh, yeah. I mean, let's power rank ours. Mine sucks. It's an empty wall.
Mine's a big guy with a half wall. Yeah. Yeah. I should I should just put one giant book behind
me. I read two guys. The only other one I had was Wickersham has a has the guitar on the wall,
which is a classic guitar guy move to be like, Hey, guys, ask me if I play guitar. Here it is.
Yeah, actually, what Seth Wickersham has, it's a big time set up your man cave for the job you want,
not the job that you have, because he's got a big Bruce Springsteen picture behind him. And then
his guitar that he has up there is a Bruce Springsteen model telecaster. Oh, wow. Huge J move on his
part to be paying homage to the boss. Yes. Hell yes. Peter King is laughing at that and lapping it up.
The other one that I had flagged here is Mark Tashara. I actually think he has the funniest
setup for an at home office because it's I looked close at it because I was like, this is the most
generic I used to be a baseball player setup of all time. And once you zoom in, I'm 99% sure
it's a green screen and ESPN imagined what Mark Tashara's home studio would look like if you had
one. Yes, yes, because it looks like it's a cubicle at ESPN. So I think what they did, they might even
have have taken a picture of his cubicle ESPN and then green screened it into his house.
No, no, no, no. I think that it's like a computer animation. The whole thing. It's a real picture.
I think that they set somebody down and they were like, Hey, imagine if you were designing a Grand
Theft Auto side mission, where you had to break into Alex Rodriguez's house and steal a Cintar
painting. And then they just came up with that zoom in on it because I'm yeah, I know what you're
saying. The baseball looks like it's it's fake. Yeah. And they basically were like, All right. So
what are his likes baseball? The books are not too many books. And yeah, that's about ESPN. Yeah,
put a camera up there just to make it seem like he he's a world traveler. All right, that's no
underwear. We know you like to freeball mark. This is I mean, this is this is what quarantine
does. We have to just sit there and look at other people's backgrounds and judge them. And we're
judging all of them. So just so you know, if you have a background, we're judging you.
Shannon Sharp also just has his dog with him a lot. Yeah, I like that. I like that you can't
control. He does he does it from his kitchen, which I actually think is a little subtle troll
of Skip Bayless for not talking to his celebrity chef brother. So just getting in his head a little
bit and his dick microwave. Exactly. Yeah, he's like, because can you see the can you see the
microwave behind Shannon? That would be great. Yeah, I think you know, that's the hood on his
oven. All right, let's do our hot seat cool drone. Before we do that, it's brought to you by

because of your background. Let's do my hot seat is Kim Ye Kim Kardashian Kanye West. I'm sure
you guys were already all out to date on the drama, but uh, oh yeah, big time. Actually, to be
honest, I kind of was catching up on everything today. I still am not fully sure what's going on,
but they basically just got roasted for posting like Kim Kardashian three years ago posted a video
slandering Taylor Swift, like all of their fans were roasting her. And then apparently the real
video came out. I guess someone that like hates Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were just like,
fuck this. I'm going to leak the real video. Uh, and then Kim Kardashian, like try to defend it,
look like an idiot. She's getting ratioed. She's getting roasted and tried to be like,
it was insensitive of Taylor to, to bring this up during Corona virus. People just dragged
dragged her dragged her for basically everything she said. Hank, what's really going on is the
keeping up with Kardashians is debuting it a new time, new, new day on Thursdays. That's episode
one Thursday and they put that tweet out today and I was like, Oh, okay. So it just happened
to have drama that went viral and had everyone talking about it. The Kardashians know no shame.
If they do something, it's clearly, it's like a two, you'll, you'll find out what they're doing
to moves later. That's all it is. Wow. Yeah. They released it themselves. They,
even though they look bad, they don't care. Think about it. They have an entire like,
like enterprise built off of a sex tape. So they, there is no shame though. There is no,
they will go all the way to the lowest possible spot. If they even look like you're not
shaving, they don't care. No, I'm saying they will look like assholes to go viral. They don't care.
Yeah, I feel like I've been duped now. Hot seat me. Yeah. Well,
Bubba brought up a good point, which is you have to really fuck up to get ratioed on a tweet if
you have 22 million or no, 64 million followers. Yeah. And it was like, she was doing, you really
screwed up crazy numbers. Yeah. So she, I mean, it's not a bad spin zone to be like, Hey,
why is everybody mad at me? Shouldn't we all be mad at the old people for not killing themselves
selectively? And then my cool throne is the cat cave Derby big cat. I don't know if you
were going to bring this up. Did I just steal that from you? No, no, he didn't.
It has been very electric day by day. You do it every single day from, from the cat cave. Yeah.
That's my cool throne. It's, uh, today was a little bit of controversy because it turned
up the electricity without telling anyone. Probably should have let betters know. But you
know what? My track, my rules. And I also, I bought, this is what quarantine brains doing.
I bought an eight track, eight lane track. And I also bought a bugle.
Okay. That's nice. Yeah. We now is, is there any particular horse that's better than the others?
No, it's actually been Kenny. The white horse has been a little bit better, but Kenny in, in the,
Kenny has won four times. All the other horses have won though. So have you named all the horses
yet? Three out of four I've named. That's kind of messed up. Well, the brown horse, it took a
while. I was naming them slowly. The brown horse is actually going to be named spiral ham, breaking
news. Wow. Wow. Kelly Martin, our friend Kelly Martin named the brown horse. Wow. That's, that's
big of you. Did you, did we get a big guest out of that? Out of that tradeoff? Just talked her off
the ledge. So. Oh, that's nice. Okay. Who was your cool throne, Hank? That was my, oh yeah,
that was your cool throw. What's yours, PFTs? Uh, my hot seat is, I'm going to say dude perfect.
I'm putting dude perfect on the hot seat. I don't know if you've seen them recently,
but they were shown off the gong that they have in their dude perfect warehouse that they do all
their trick shots in on the first take. And it says proudly made in Wuhan, right on the big gong
there. So many people are asking, is dude perfect responsible for all the stuff that's going on
the world? I didn't, I would never say something like that, but there's been a lot of chatter,
heavy chatter that's been picked up on the internet. Wow. It seems fair.
Yeah. My other hot seat is excuses. Okay. It was definitely Cody. Yeah. Cody was like,
I got this cheap gong dude. It's no big deal. Like sometime in, I would say probably late
December, early January. Yeah. Yeah. That's when they got it imported for sure. Like we'll do two
shipping, make sure that it's got everything on it.
My other hot seat is excuses. And I think you guys can relate to this, but
as we're all sheltering in place, we have no excuses to not do anything and it's tough.
If somebody just asks you to do something, you can't be like, no, I have plans or no,
that doesn't work for me. I've got other stuff to do. It's like, no, you have to say yes to most
things. Everyone knows everyone's all in the same boat and it stinks not having any excuses
to say my only excuse I could possibly make is like, Oh, I'm taping part of my take or
I have to take Leroy for a walk. That's about it.
PFT just have a kid kid is always the ultimate excuse. I can always just be like, yeah,
he's napping. Sorry. Or or PFT just say you're streaming and it sounds like you're doing something,
but you're really just playing video games. Like, Oh, I got a stream.
I'm taking a piss. Yeah. I pee every two and a half hours.
So that's getting into my, it's getting into my bathroom schedule right now.
Tell people that you're, you can see the recession coming and you're pinching pennies.
So you're paying by the minute on internet. Yeah, that's good. I'm working on my charts
on my stock charts right now. So I'm going to time the bounce back really well on this one.
My other hot seat is the rest of the CAA. I don't actually, I don't even know if Liberty
University is still in the CAA or not. Liberty, I don't know where the fuck Liberty is.
I think it might be independent. They're FBS, but
I don't want them in a conference in their conference.
They're going back to school and Hugh Freese who has a lot of experience coaching from a hospital
bed is getting ready to whip these boys into shape. So I think that they might come out of the
gate real strong next year are really, really, really bad. One of the two.
They're in the Atlantic sun conference. Who could forget? Good. That's a real conference.
My cool throne is having sex with your roommates. So the city of New York slapped a hard no on
ass eating season. They said, don't eat ass. It's bad. It's bad for you in these trying times.
And if you're going to have sex with somebody, have it be someone that you live with right now.
So that way it's not like you're going out there and cross contaminating other people's roommates.
So after about like a couple of weeks, just look at your roommate and shrug and be like,
we have to do this for our own sanity and for safety, public health.
Yeah, it's a good point. It's a good point. All right, my hot seat is doing nothing is on
my hot seat because as I found this past weekend, doing nothing makes doing nothing not fun anymore.
It's killing doing nothing like doing nothing is what I live for. I live for the weekends
where I can sit and do absolutely nothing. But now that doing nothing is our job.
Doing nothing sucks. So it's ruined doing nothing for me.
Yeah, you're right. Doing nothing is traditionally an escape from doing something.
Right. And if we don't have anything to escape from then doing nothing becomes our doing something.
Right. Like this now doing something is our escape from doing nothing.
Right. Yes, exactly. So this past weekend, I did absolutely nothing. But it was no different than
all my other weekends. Like I don't do anything anyway. But it sucked because it was escape from
doing nothing. That's tough. Sucks sucks. And then my cool throne is us PFT because if you
had seen Jake Marsh reported earlier today, that both the both of us have canceled our dog walks
due to the CDC guidelines. But we are paying our dog walkers full salary. We're not like the Sixers
cutting 20% or some of these other organizations that have to be shamed into paying their employees.
We paid our employees without any publicity whatsoever. We just had our intern slash he's
now a full time worker tweeted out for us and then also blog it for us.
We're also paying Jake Marsh. Right. A full time rate. Right. In the exact time. So yeah,
I mean, I actually don't know how Jake got that scoop. But I mean, he asked me for comment and I
didn't want to comment on the record. I just retweeted every quote tweet about it. But yeah,
I mean, credit to us. I think we're doing the right thing. We didn't have to be bullied by
the internet into doing it. We elected to do this on our own. In fact, my dog Walker, I don't even
have a regular full time dog Walker, because I only use our dog Walker when Leroy, like if I'm at a
town or something like that, something comes up and I'm not able to let him out. But I'm just
going to start Venmoing him every week, Venmoing him cash and he'll be like, why is PFT sending
me cash right now? I'm sorry, I'm gonna be cash tapping him cash. And he'll be like, why am I
getting this cash? It'll just be a nice little bonus for him. Yeah. I my dog Walker email was
like distilling need walks. And I was like, no, but you need money. Here it is. That's exactly
how I phrased it. And then I said, why don't you tell me how awesome I am. And they're like,
yeah, dude, like, you're supposed to do this without praise. And I was like, Oh, yeah, my bad.
I'm sending my weed guy money. Everyone gets a week. Yeah, I'm sending everyone money,
just just out of the goodness of my heart. I'm keeping the economy going by myself.
Thank you, big get I'm tipping I tip everyone, even though I don't go anywhere. But in my mind,
if I went somewhere, I would tip them extra. That's huge. It's huge. All right, let's get to our
interview. We have St. Louis Blues head coach, Craig Barubi on the show live in person. We taped
this before coronavirus swept the nation. So if we sound happier, that's why it was actually
a world where March madness is still existed. That's very sad to think about. But we are brought

Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. It is the head coach of the St. Louis Blues,
defending Stanley Cup champions, Craig Barubi. Now coach, can we call you coach?
Yeah. All right. I feel like that's the way to go. Coach, I want to let you know before we start
that you are allowed to swear on this podcast because I did some research and you like to swear.
Would that be a fair assessment? In the right situation. Okay. I don't mind it.
Let me give you a situation real quick. If a fan tapped on the glass and said,
hey, coach, can I get a selfie with you in the middle of a game? Would you say no or would you
say fuck no? To be honest, I wouldn't even look back. There it is. I would ignore it. Yeah,
I found a clip of right before you guys took the ice for game seven and Stanley Cup. I read
you the quilt that you had for the pump up for the boys. Can I read it to you? You can read it.
Okay. You said pump it up here. We're here for a fucking reason because we're a fucking good hockey
team and we're going to fucking come home with a cup here tonight. Let's fucking go. I got pumped
up just watching that. A lot of F-bombs. Yeah. Yeah. Do you ever like, do you ever walk out
after you give a pregame speech? You're like, shit. That was a lot of swearing by me. Whoops.
I don't even think about it before I even go in there to be honest with you. It just happens.
I come out and just feel it and talk to the team, whatever I feel is needed at the time. At that
point, I didn't think there was really much to say. We're in game seven of Stanley Cup final. Let's
go. Yeah. So they were ready. Yeah. So the season obviously, incredible season ends with the Stanley
Cup, lifting the cup, but it starts with you taking over as interim head coach and you guys
being the last place team as late as January 3rd. How the heck did you guys turn that whole thing
around? Was there a moment? We always talk about the beginning of a championship DVD. Was there
that moment that you can think back and be like, that's where it all clicked for the team and we
kind of turned everything around? I would say mid-December. Right around Christmas time,
we went on a road trip out west, played Edmonton, Vancouver, and Calgary, I believe. That was a
great trip. I thought we played an excellent hockey. We didn't get as many wins as we wanted to,
if I think back. We maybe won one out of three only, but we're playing real solid hockey and the
way we needed to play to win and to get on a get on a roll. And then Binnington came up. He was
up with us already and we started him in that Philly game and he played really well and kind of like
I thought that, you know, his next start, he won again. So now the team started to really believe
in what was going on and it really boosted the confidence of the team. And we just rolled from
there. Like, you know, we had a lot of good players. There's a lot of good players in there.
And once we really started to come together as a team and play for each other on the ice,
it doesn't matter what you do off the ice. You can be buddies with your, you know,
your teammates and do all this shit. But if you don't play on the ice, you won't win. You won't
go anywhere. And once that started to come, you know, we rattled off 11 in a row. I knew we were
pretty good. Yeah. What typically comes first being really tight with your guys on the ice and
then developing those friendships outside of the rink or being boys off the ice, then you come in
and you're able to kind of use that relationship that you have to be solid. I think all the guys
nowadays, they all know each other. You know, that's it's funny how the league is really formed.
The NHL Players Association has really tightened up these players like they all know each other.
They're all buddies. So when you get a team, they're already know half of them know each other
already. So they're already tight off the ice, but you got to get that tightness on the ice and
that team. And we really stress team first mindset with our group. And they really, you know, took
it and ran with it. You know, they do a good job of that of staying in that. And as coaches,
we got to remind them and we got to keep carpet on it and bringing it up. But that to me is the
biggest thing. Yeah. Okay. Have you noticed like Ryan Whitney and Paul Bissnet, these are two guys
that should hate each other, but you listen to their podcast, they're all buddy, buddy, it's
sickening. It's gross like business. He's not someone that should be anyone's friend. All of a
sudden he's like cuddling up with. Yeah, that's true. So going back to that. So so what you're
saying there when when the league has become guys of, you know, know each other better friend
friendly with each other, when you were playing, I would assume it's very different. And I'm wondering
how that played into you were an enforcer 3000 penalty minutes. I think it was 241 fights that
position the enforcer has kind of gone away from today's NHL. Is that part of the reason why the
guys know each other more and fighting is just not as prevalent? No, it's changed the way the
games played and how it's thought of first of all, and you know, I don't really, I mean, I think
it's gotten better. To be honest with you, I think Gary Bettman has done an excellent job of that
turning this game, changing the game, I guess. You know, there's still fights in the game and
things like that. But it's not as important as it was when I played. So when I played, it was
really important. It was it was a big part of the game. You know, you look at Gretzky, he's always
had Dave Seminkel, Marty McSorley, wherever he went, he had somebody around him, because he just
needed that comfort and that to get a guy to look after stuff in the locker room on the ice,
things like that. That's not that's not there anymore. If there's a fight in the ice, it's just
out of emotion. Guys, you know, something happened and they get after it. But when I played, you
weren't buddies with the other teammates. And if your coach saw you talking to a guy on the other
team or talking to a guy even before the game, they were pissed off. Really? And they tell you,
they come up and tell you and say, What are you doing? Like, you know, we don't need that. You
know, so it was this different mindset back then. It's in that all sports were like that. Yeah.
And then it's all, all sports have changed. Yeah, just that's the way it is. Did you know
when you were going into a game, like, All right, this is the guy I'm going to have to fight
tonight? No matter what, like, no matter what happens, I'm going to have to pretty much like
there was always, you know, every game I played. I love the when there was nobody I actually could
relax, right? Enjoy the game a little bit. But, you know, every game, every team we played, there's
always a couple guys and you knew you were going to get into it with it for the most part. Would
you scout them? Would you be like, All right, this guy's got it deadly left. Stay away from him.
The whole team did basically our other guys would talk about it before the game. Well,
watch his laughter. He's got a big right hand punch, but you knew anyhow how that how you
fought and what was going to happen. I didn't really watch tape on it at all. But I know there's
guys that have done that. Yeah. Did you always like fighting? I don't really know if I ever liked
it that much. I mean, I just did a lot of it. I mean, even growing up, I did a lot of it like
as a kid, you know, I grew up with 1520 cousins around me every day. And you know, what's going
to happen? You're going to get in fights. And that's the way it was. So I kind of grew up, you
know, in that mindset. And, you know, as a player, I needed to do that to play in the NHL. Otherwise,
I wouldn't have played in the NHL. So I read a story that when you were 16, you won a tough man
competition. Now, was that your coach told you to do it? Or you just were like, Hey, I want to
fight in this tough man. No, it was pretty much him. I was, I went to Williams Lake, B.C. played
junior hockey. There was a 16 year old and after the season, he asked me what I was going to do.
I said, I'm going to go back home to my hometown with my family and stuff. He goes, Well,
I got this. So you think you're tough. I'd like you to fight in it. So I said, okay, because, you
know, I just didn't, you didn't say no or I didn't anyhow. And during the year, I was doing a lot of
boxing because he had, he had us boxing a lot and working with guys, you know, fighters and things
like that to learn how to handle yourself. And it was actually really good for me anyhow. And so
how it worked, I said, Well, who's going to train me? And he goes, I am. I said, Oh, yeah. He says,
Yeah, you're going to come over every afternoon, four o'clock, we're going to go down on the basement,
and we're going to put the gloves on and we're going to go at it for a while. And then my wife
will feed you dinner and you can go home. I'm not lying. That's what we did. And as two boys
were watching there, like young kids, like seven years old or whatever. And me and the guy named,
the guy's name was John Van Hordek. We'd go in his basement, put the gloves on, no headgear, no
malt pieces, nothing, and spar for an hour or so. And I'd go up and have dinner and that was it.
That probably did a lot for you though. Yeah. Oh, I know it definitely did. He, he's a big part of
why I'm here today. Like, or why I played in the NHL for sure. He, he groomed me as a young kid and
got me to, you know, become that kind of a player and that's how it was going to play.
So we have a tough man type of, uh, league that we actually own and we have paper views. It's
called rough and rowdy. We, no joke, this week had someone drop out of a fight that was a $100,000
prize purse. Do you think you want to maybe pay for you? Get back in there. $100,000.
No money. I'll spar with you in the basement. We'll get ready. You can kick my ass every day.
I'm too old though. What if it was against another coach? Like, what would you do in age range
or age bracket? We'll make you fight a 21 year old. Who would you, would you, do you think you're
the toughest coach? I don't know. If we had to say like every, every coach gets in a big fight
and it's like, it's almost like Royal Rumble. We throw everyone in the ring. Who, who survives?
Oh, I'll probably come out of there. Yeah. I like that. Very trot seems like he'd be tough
to knock out just because he's got that volcano neck. I like that confidence. I like that confidence
a lot. Do you, do you ever, when you're like coaching because it's always funny, the, uh,
you know, like NFL and major league baseball, the coaches don't have to wear suits. Do you ever
think like, Hey, why the hell do I have to wear a suit behind this bed? Yeah, we always talk about
that. But you know, in the end, I think it's, it's important to look, you know, look good back
there. I don't know about being in track suits or baseball is different. You know, and NFL is
different too. Like it's just different. I think, you know, a hockey, a coach being in a suit back
there. It looks good. Track suit would be awesome. Yeah. If you had a nice like velour. Yeah. Gold
chain maybe going. Uh-huh. I don't know. Are you, are you go casual? Go T-shirt and like some jinkos.
Think about it. That'd be sweet too. Think about it. Uh, John Tortorello wears a sweater in this
suit now. So yeah, that's true. A nice like high turtleneck. Yeah. He looks like he's going to
Christmas party every time. Like a movie producer or something like that.
It's warm. Them rings are cold. Yeah. Uh, you, you mentioned Gretzky a while ago. I'm curious
to know where you fall on the side of the debate of greatest goal scorer of all time. Is it the
great one or is it the great with the number eight one? Well, you know, Gretzky's for me, he's the
greatest. Um, like what he's done. It's hard to knock that, but I'll number eight and washes.
He's right up there for goal scorer. And I'll tell you what in an era to score as many goals
as he does in, in this era hockey and the goal tending is, is ridiculous. Like this guy is
amazing player. Really is. Um, so you get the interim head coaching job. You win the Stanley
Cup. You never get officially the head coaching job until after the season. So when you sit down
with the front office, did you just laugh? Like, was it just like a good hearty laugh? Like,
come on guys, like, no, what's the negotiation here? I just want to Stanley. No, I talked with
our GM before that, you know, and it was all going to be worked out. We just left it as it was,
which was the right thing to do. I think at the time. Yeah. I mean, it's happened twice in,
in, in hockey and it's a hilarious idea that you, I mean, you coach the entire season, essentially,
but you were still the interim head coach winning the Stanley Cup. Yeah. And I was fine with it,
to be honest with you. I wasn't really too worried about it or paid much attention to it at all. I
really didn't. If you guys go on a losing streak, will you go back? Like slap the interim back on?
Let me earn it back. I guess you never know. Yeah. I mean, it was a little bit of a concern that
maybe you'll stop being as hungry now that you're no longer the interim head coach.
It's concerned by me. Yeah. Not by me. Yeah. I don't know if they thought that, but. Well,
you did it too with the, with the Flyers when you took over the Flyers and you, you know,
mid season, you guys had to bounce back. Is there something about your coaching style that
can get more, because we talk about it all the time with football coaches, you'll get an interim
head coach. And usually the team will have a nice bounce because they're fighting for their jobs
and they want to play for this new guy. Do you think that there's something in your style
that brings that out of guys where they start maximizing their potential?
There could be. I mean, I, I try to demand the most out of our players, like every individual
and the team. So I push, I mean, but, you know, being the head coach now, I don't really coach
any differently than I did last year. I feel like I, I bring the same kind of mindset this year.
You obviously got to do things differently at times to change things up and, and then stuff
like that and motivate. But for the most part, my style has not changed one bit. Yeah. Now it says
that you're a very, a very honest guy, a very honest coach, maybe sometimes a little too honest,
or at least the guys, they always know where they stand when you're talking. Have you ever found
that like maybe sometimes you don't have to be as directly honest if it's a guy that like can't
handle that type of coaching? Are you just going to be who you are no matter what? Well, I mean,
you got to, you got to approach probably every player a little bit differently, but you know,
you can really get after some players that can handle it, but you got to know which players
can handle it. And if you see them start to well up, you just say, okay, that's enough.
Yeah. I mean, I read that you're, you are considered a players coach. And I'm, I assume
that's a compliment that you like, like to know, you know, whatever someone says a players coach,
that means that the coach is just very in tune with their players. Yeah. I mean, I, I try to,
I think I understand all the guys that try to have conversations with them on a daily basis
and know, you know, what they're doing, not only in hockey, but in life and their families and things
like that. But at the same time, they know that, you know, I demand a lot from them. And this is
how you got to play or you're probably not going to play. So I mean, that's just, so then they know,
they know what they, they know what they need to do and what's the manner to them. But
I'm very approachable. I mean, I want my players come talk to me about anything. Yeah.
One of the things I like the most about hockey is, is the nicknames that get handed out to players.
It's either, in my experience, it's usually like a stir, like it's a Gregster or like
something with an O at the end, like a Gordo or something like that. Is there a flow chart that
you have to go to to decide who's a stir, who's an O and we just make them up. Yeah. What was
yours when you were playing? Chief. Chief. Never like Rubz or Barubi. I mean, you have a, it ends
with a vowel so that you get. Well, I had the nickname chief when I was a young kid. So like,
it's kind of always been my nickname. And that comes from your, your, come from First Nation,
right? Yeah. So I, I'm very ignorant on, on like the lineage there, but that's pretty,
that's pretty cool. And I'm sure that's a lot of pride for you to have, you know, that heritage
and be, I grew up, I grew up, uh, you know, with a bunch of like native reserves around where I
live, played a lot of hockey and ball with all those guys growing up and as an adult, as a,
when I was older, uh, hockey and ball. So I grew up with all those guys.
They say ball, what? Fastball. Fast pitch. Fast pitch. Baseball? Yeah. Okay. Got it. Got it.
You're not on Twitter. Is that, no, is that for a specific reason? Are you? I don't have any
social media. Do you hate social media? I don't hate, I don't know if I hate it. I just don't
deal with it. I don't have no time for it. Sounds like you hate it. You gotta do the old coach thing
like the, you know, snap face. I don't, yeah, I just don't need to do anything. I don't need to
talk to anybody about that stuff or be on it or even socialize that way. Yeah. There's, there's
really limited. Yeah, you hate it. This is limited upside for a coach to be on social media. I would
think because no matter how good you're doing, you're going to have 90% of people out there,
you know, talking shit about something that you did. So there's a lot of negativity. No,
I mean, everybody's got their own opinion and you know, I just, whatever, I don't need to hear it.
So you just want to fight them. There's no way for you to fight somebody online.
I do hate it. All I care about is our team. Yeah, that's it. I don't care about going viral.
It's kind of cool though. It's kind of cool. No. Here's a good question. What's the difference
between a tough guy and a dirty player? I would say like a dirty player, somebody that, you know,
does things out there. So when I played, if somebody hit somebody from behind, he does it,
you know, on a consistent basis, uses a stick a lot, you know, things like that, that's considered
a dirty player. A tough guy is somebody that probably, you know, if somebody wants to fight,
answers the bell, steps in for his teammates, you know, handles all that kind of stuff,
that would be considered a tough guy. I've always wondered from a coach's perspective,
how you handle a player on your own team that might be kind of pushing those boundaries or
starting across those lines because you like a certain amount of aggression. You want your
guys to be tough. You want your guys to play physically. But like, if he starts to cross the
line, how do you, how do you deal with a player like that and kind of like try to draw him back
without changing his playing style? Well, we really, our team's not very penalized to be
honest with you. We're like one of the top least penalized teams in the league. So and we play
hard. We're probably right up there with the most physical team in the league. So we don't,
we don't allow our guys to take penalties. I mean, there's no reason to, there's no reason to, you
know, hit people from behind or, you know, use your stick wrong. You can play hard and be physical
and be clean at the same time. So we really try to preach that part of the game. I don't want to
be in a penalty box very often. And our guys do a pretty good job. But you guys, part of winning
the cup, you know, you guys were a very physical team, very powerful team. The NHL has kind of gone
back and forth, like in terms of generations and how it, how it ebbs and flows even five years ago
with teams being a little smaller, more skilled. Do you think that like being this powerful,
bigger team wears down on opponents? It can, I think it's, it's whatever, you know, as a
individual or coach is how you look at the game and how you want to play the game. The way I want
to play the game, we need size and strength and being physical. Opposed to like, you know,
like there's a lot of teams that have a lot of skill and they're fast and they're dangerous and
they're good teams. That doesn't mean they can't win that way. You can win, you can win both ways.
I mean, the St. Louis Blues choose to try to do it this way. Like Washington Capitals,
they're a big physical team and that's the way they play. It's interesting though,
just watching you go back and forth. I just remember one of my favorite quotes of all time
was Ryan Getzlaff in the playoffs against the Hawks and he was like, no team can sustain this
amount of physical punishment and the Hawks were just better and they beat them and the Ducks. And
it was like, yeah, they can, because they're better. And it was like a lot of skilled guys that,
play a skilled game, less of the physical trying to check, but you guys have kind of pushed it back
the other way, which I, I love when sports go back and forth between strategies. I think the Hawks,
though, they beat us out in 2010 for the cup and I was with the Flyers then. It was a good series,
but I didn't think they were, you know, a small team at all. I thought they had good size. They
had some big players that played heavy. I think the Hawks won cups. You know, everybody looks at
Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith, who are on the smaller side and are great players. But, you know,
Taze is a heavy player. He's a big guy. He plays heavy. Hose is a big guy. He played heavy. They
had a lot. Seabrooks, a big guy plays heavy. You know, the Bufflins and the Lads, all these
guys they had, they had a lot of heavy guys in their lineup. I love that phrase, play heavy.
Like they go out there and play heavy. But they had some smaller guys with great skill and like
Patrick Kane is a great player. Yeah. Can you take a skilled team that might be smaller,
faster, and turn them into a more physical team? Heavy. Heavy team. I love this. Yeah, you can.
It's like, let's play heavy tonight, boys. You can. Look at me and Hank and Liam. You can have
players that aren't overly physical and hit everything in sight, but they play heavy. It's
just winning puck battles. That's what it boils down to. Using your body, winning puck battles,
having heavy sticks. That's what I mean by heavy. Hitting the rice bucket. Yeah. Get your forearms.
Is the heaviest state of mind? Yes. Sounds like it. It is. I mean, you looked at the Detroit
Red Wings team when they're good 90s, like late little later in the night or 2000s, 2008, 2007,
2009. They were a heavy team, but they weren't very big, but they had heavy sticks and they
won a lot of stick bow. That's all they want. Yeah. Is there a guy in today's game that younger
you would have liked to go out there and fight? Like somebody right now? Yeah. Who I would like
to fight? Yeah. Oh, I don't know. I don't really think about fighting, boys. Do you ever think
about like, maybe if we could change the rules and like. There's always a guy on every team,
every game we play that I'd probably like to grab. Yeah. Right. Or how about a coach? I'm not going
to say names. What if we did like, instead of overtime, coaches fight. I'm not involved with
coaches at the other team. Really? Okay. Do you do the stair down though? I love the
stair down. I don't even look over there. Or the yell back. Have you had a moment where you've
just been screaming at the other coach? No. I bet you I could find one. You couldn't find one.
I bet you. Could I find one? I think you probably. I don't even look over there. Or like you're
yelling over the glass like Twitter over there. You don't even look at Pierre. Yeah. Yeah. Wipe his
head off after. You just look over and you see the other coach and it's just a big Twitter logo
and you're like, doesn't even exist in my life. You mentioned earlier that there were some times
that you'd be playing and you'd usually know who you have to fight that night. But sometimes there
are teams where you could take a little break. Was there ever a guy that came up to you and tried
to start a fight with you and you knew that you would just damage him so badly that you just had
to like laugh and say, Hey, buddy, we can't do this for your own safety. That's a that's a cool
thing to say. I love that when they are like when the soccer guy does. I've had to drop the gloves
with a few guys because of, you know, a situation on the ice where everybody was kind of going at it
back in the day called five on five line brawls. And I've grabbed, you know, our guys grabbed me
who's not a fighter and he's not very big and stuff. And I didn't do nothing. Right. You just
look at him like, Come on, man. I could this is not fun. It's like a fly buzzing. I'm helping you.
Yeah, I like that. That's a bad ass. I'm off the hook. Yeah. Do you think you say the word in a
given day the word fuck or the word boys more boys boys? Yeah. I mean, that's that's such a hockey
one on one. Like everything's boys from boys. Let's go boys. Pick it up. But it's close. It is close.
Play heavier boys. Come on. What the fuck, boys? Yeah, I like that. Boys. We have this ongoing
debate on this podcast. Where does an upper body injury start and where does a lower body injury
start? I would say an upper body is waist up, waist up, lower is waist down. What about hip?
That's called it in between. In between. All right. So now when you when they announced like
someone's got a lower body, do you know what they have? Yeah. Okay. Oh, on the other team? No,
no, no. On your team. You always know. Yeah. I know. Man, I was kind of hoping that the doctors
just wouldn't tell like the doctors played dumb and was like, lower body. We're not telling you
what it is. No, the doctors don't talk to us. The trainers or trainer medical guy tells us
exactly what it is. I thought maybe just nobody knew and the player was just like it hurts up
here and they're like, Oh, if that's upper, yeah, he's got a uber. Well, do you ever get you ever
get scared that you're going to accidentally let it slip that it's like a knee when you're trying
to say it's a lower body? No, you're lower upper. Yeah. That's it. Okay. That's smart. I have one
last question. Seeky question promo code take. We're with Craig Barubi. He is the coach of the
St. Louis Blues Stanley Cup champions defending Stanley Cup champions. Put in promo code take
you get $10 off Seeky purchase. What do you bench just randomly just asking just no reason?
What do you bench? I could probably get about $275 up there. $275? Maybe. Do we have a bench
press close by? Big cat. There's one right behind you. Oh, I didn't even see this. Okay. Well,
yeah, we could get $275. Let's bar. Let's fucking go, boys. Try to try to, you know,
fucking put up some weight. I'm not warmed up. $275 is good. That's very impressive. Yeah.
I'm an older guy now. Yeah. Do you ever do stuff like that just to show the guy like the boys?
I go to the gym every day and work out in there. Yeah. What percentage of players on the team
do you think you'd bench press more than right now? Oh, I don't know. Probably not very many.
Oh, I'm sure there are a few. There are a few that can't put. These guys are in good shape. They
work out a lot. Bennington's got noodle arms. Well, the goalies maybe. Goals are a different breed,
right? Yeah, they don't have to do too much. What do you do psychology wise with a goalie?
Do you leave them alone? Yeah, I leave them alone. Goaly coach will talk to them. Everyone,
if you ever talk to anyone, I say hi to them and buy them. Seriously, if you ever talk to any hockey
player like, yeah, goalies just different breeds, like we just let them do their thing. I have one
last, last question for you. I'm not going to make you predict a back-to-back Stanley Cup for
the St. Louis Blues. I know you're thinking that you will win, but who do you think is coming out
of the east? Oh, I don't know. There's a lot of good teams. Look at the Flyers right now.
They're on a roll, man. They're right there. They're playing some great hockey. Boston's
obviously Tampa. There's too many good teams to pick. Wash, you know. Thank you. I just wanted
to hear you say wash. There's a lot of good teams. It's tough. You just want to give yourself a
chance. You got to get in there and then anything can happen in this league. You know everybody
sees that. It's all like that. You know what I mean? Playoffs are different. You get on a roll
and you keep going. I mean, you never know. There's so many good teams. It's tight. It's
close. It really is. Last, last, last question. Playoffs. Is there ever a time when you're in the
playoffs and you see a guy and you're like, dude, or sorry, guy, boy, buddy, pal, maybe do a little
shaving because your playoff beard is disgusting? Like the guy who really can't grow a playoff
beard. Sydney. Yeah. Do you ever do that? Like, hey, tighten that up because it's making us all
look bad. Or do you just let it go? I don't really say nothing about what they do. They want to have
some facial hair or not. It doesn't matter to me. The anti Yankees. That's what you are. They can do
whatever they want. Yeah, I'm not concerned about that. I'm just concerned about their play. Yeah,
that's probably smart. That's probably why you're a coach. Yeah, just play. Yeah. You know, whatever
you're, you know, how you want to look, facial hair, you know, your hair doesn't matter to me
so much. Get out there and move. I worry about playing how you plan. That's all that matters.
Move your feet. That's right. Move your feet. Skate. Get out there and skate heavy. Keep your
stick on the ice. That's a big one. Eddie O always teaches that. Good things happen when you
keep your stick on the ice. Hit the net. Four check. Shoot it. Y'all cycle the puck. Do you ever find
yourself actually screaming, shoot it during a power play like everybody else does? Shoot the
puck. Shoot it. Like way outside. I'll tell you a funny story. So Larry Robinson, you know, the great
defenseman, he works for, he works for our organization. So when I took over as a coach last
year, he came in and we just wanted him around because, you know, taking things over and he's
done this. He's taken over a team. The devil's interim and they won a cup. He's the other one.
So he's a, he's a very smart guy and has a lot of great insight and things like that. Great guy.
So we brought him on the bench because we wanted him out there and just, you know,
get things going and help. And he's, somebody's screaming on the bench. Shoot!
Larry Robinson. He screams shoot when we had the puck on our own end. Oh, I love it. That's a
true fan. He loved to yell shoot. That's what we do. So do I. I didn't have to yell it. Yes,
you have to. You have to. All right. Well, coach, thank you so much. This has been awesome. I
would say best of luck, but I don't like the blues. So I'll just go out there and try to
play as heavy as you can. You got a thanks for having me on guys. Appreciate it. It was awesome.

We have some, what are you going to say, Hank? What are you going to say, Hank?
You go first, I'll go after second. Well, I was going to say Billy Football was back on Monday.
And good news is Billy Football might be back once a week to do a little deep dive into different
subjects that we give him. So get ready for that. We're going to do some different quarantine stuff
to keep everyone happy and excited and interested in the show. So we're going to have him once a week.
And we also are going to be releasing some of the Barstow Gold, some of our better interviews,
right? So we're doing that for the people because it's quarantine time. Everyone's locked in their
home. So we're going to do that so that the people can hopefully enjoy that. What are you
going to say, Hank? Well, first, also on top of that, we have, we're doing Tiger King on Friday,
and we released exotic Joe, Tiger King, LSU, and Cincinnati Bengal shirts.
They're sick. They're all the best shirts we've ever made. I'm confident in saying that.
I am confident in saying they are the greatest shirts we have ever made.
I'm addicted to saying exotic Joe. I can't stop saying it. It's like one of those mental blocks
in my head. I can't, I can't stop. You want to go to Joe's stripper joint?
These shirts are so good that I'm going to buy them. I can get them for free,
but I feel guilty taking them. So I'm going to, I'm going to pay money to get them instead.
And then my other question was, since we just did Barubi and with the NHL and NBA,
like if the, if the seasons get canceled, are the Raptors and the Blues, what happens?
They're defending champs still.
Is that, are they dynasties? Do they become dynasties?
Yeah, as a two-time defense, like what is like, they've been the, like, it's weird.
I don't know. I don't feel comfortable with Canada having back-to-back NBA championships.
Yeah, it's weird. It is weird, but I don't think they would feel good about that either.
Canada would probably give it back and say, fair is fair.
Give it to the bucks.
They have to do it. They have to figure out a way to do it.
Don't, let's not give up hope. Let's not give up hope.
All right. So first up, we're going to do mouth flush more in a second,
but we did promise to everyone that we were going to this summer,
get upset at the NFL 100 list because the NFL 100 list of people remember,
they released the list in December when we were balls deep in sports, balls deep in football.
We didn't have time to get upset about it. So we put it on our calendar.
We said, we're going to get upset about this sometime in July. Well, guess what?
Life has different plans because the coronavirus popped up and we have no sports.
So we're going to get mad at it now. So once a week, we're going to get mad at a different
position group. This week, we're going to get mad at tight ends. Now the 100,
the NFL 100 list that they came up with, they have five tight ends on it.
Mike Dicca, Tony Gonzalez, Rob Gronkowski, John Mackey, Kellen Winslow Sr. And judging by how
they've done these lists, they always tried to get at least two guys from like history,
basically like historical guys who their numbers clearly like Tony Gonzalez puts John Mackey and
Mike Dicca's numbers to shame, but the game is different. So they kind of pick the guys who
invented the position, so to speak. I actually can't see. I don't know if I have any really
gripes in it. I tried to find a gripe. I think my gripe, I'm mad that I can't get mad.
No, I'll give you a gripe right off the bat. They just gave us a group of tight ends. They
didn't rank them. So I'm mad that you didn't have the balls NFL to list them numbers one through
five in all time best tight ends in NFL history. Okay, I'm mad about that because it's kind of a
cop out on their part. I'm also mad because I went to the web. So I was looking at their list,
and I'm mad that we're not going to get to see the NFL 100 logo anymore. They're going to take
that away from us. So I'm pretty mad about that. I guess I'm pretty mad about what I'm not going
to get to see. Yeah, I don't mind what they're doing, putting some of the legends in the game.
But in the spirit of getting mad, I feel like you should only have one player on this list
who revolutionized the tight end position, right? You don't have three different guys
that I would say give it to Kellen Winslow. Kellen Winslow is the guy that revolutionized the tight
end. John Mackie, I'm going to put him in the in the pile of Oh, he played against plumbers and
doctors. Well, so if you if you put like Tyler Eiffert on his team, then he probably would have
had, you know, 2500 receiving yards and 30 touchdowns in a year. So he's the one that I'm
going to get mad at. And it's mostly because I just never watched him play. Okay, so I'm going
to end up at the same place as you, but I'm going a different route. I actually think Kellen Winslow
should be on there. Or you also think he is, but he didn't revolutionize tight ends. I think Mike
Dick, I was actually looked through it. Mike Dick came on the scene two years before John Mackie.
Mike Dick was the first tight end to ever have 1000 yards receiving in a season. John Mackie
never did that. And Mike Dick, it was also the first tight end to be voted into the pro football
fame. So I think if you want to do like who revolutionized the position, he's the guy.
Kellen Winslow was an incredible tight end in the next era. So I think John Mackie, if I had to pick
and I again, I don't really have a gripe with this. But if I had to pick, I would take out John
Mackie and I'd put in Antonio Gates. Hey, that's what I had to I don't mind having Dick on the list
either because I don't look at Dick as being the guy that revolutionized the position.
And that might just be me being an idiot. But I look at Dick as being like the guy that that did
it all, who is still very much a part of the game, the guy that farts on national television,
the guy that's on the phone, wore a cool vest, the guy that smoked so many cigars in his office
that they had to change the windows after he left. And also, yeah, he was a bad ass tight end way
back in the day. So I have no problem with Dick being on that list. And they had a college worth
called him a no brainer. And that's a big time pot calling the kettle black situation.
The he farts on me to he farted on me that time when he took my shirts, he might dick in 1961
had 56 receptions in 1076 yards. I mean, that had never been no no tight end had ever done that.
And so John Mackie didn't even have 1000 yards in his career in any single year.
So I think he he gets in is the revolutionary guy. And then you keep telling Winslow and you
maybe add Antonio Gates. But again, I don't have a problem with it because I also was watching
John Mackie highlights and he was a beast. Like he was ripping off 50 yard touchdowns,
which didn't happen back then either. So I guess they did an okay job with the tight ends. I think
I think my actual gripe here is that they did a good job. And it leaves me no place to get angry.
Well, yeah, I'm sure Mackie was good. Don't get me wrong. I just never watched him. So
he's the easiest one for me to take. I watched it today. So Tony nice. Tony Gonzalez. I thought
he's just too handsome to not put on this list. Well, Tony Gonzalez also Tony guy Tony Gonzalez
definitely is one of those guys that that had two things going against him. One he came
right before Rob Grinkowski, the best tight end ever. And two, he never won a Super Bowl.
And that was kind of always a knock because he was the guy for the Chiefs for so many years.
He was he was a pro bowler 14 out of 17 seasons. That's insane. That's insane. He was like,
he put up insane stats basically every single year. And he just, I feel like the fact that
Gronk came right after him. And everyone's like, Oh my God, look at Gronk. And also, you know,
the tight end position changed a little with Jimmy Graham and Antonio Gates and Jason Witton.
I feel like Tony Gonzalez doesn't get as much credit as he probably deserves.
I like you tossing Jason Witton into that equation. Jason Witton's stats, dude,
are actually pretty impressive when you actually like look at all the tight ends. I think he's
second all time in tight end yards. So yeah, because he's had 720 yards receiving for 19 years.
But he's he played he's got a he's got 13,000 receiving yards and so and 72 touchdowns. So
he's not Antonio Gates has the most touchdowns is a tight end with 116. But yeah, I Jason Witton is
right like he would be he's a compiler. He'd be right after that next list of like Ozzie Newsom
and Shannon Sharp and like those guys and then it would be Jason Witton.
Disagree. I have Jason that's now I'm mad. Jason Witton is on my third or fourth year
of tight ends in the lower pantheon of all time. Great tight ends now man. He's better than that.
You're just you're thinking about Jason Witton money and I football. I'm not I'm not thinking
about banished that for my brain and I did the eternal sunshine of a spotless mind procedure
and had that portion of my brain removed. Thank God. But if you look at his stats,
what is the season that he how many yards receiving did he have in his best season?
He's he is absolutely a compiler but there's definitely something to be said for a guy who
does it for that long and does it at that level. I think you can absolutely say like you can have
the Gronks who have incredible careers and I'm not Gronks not even a good a good example for
this like Terrell Davis. It would be a good example for where he was unbelievable for like
three or four years. Let's see Jason Witton. I'm looking at it right now. Jason Witton had four
he's had 4,000 yard plus seasons. So he's had two three. He's at four. And he's and he's come
pretty damn close. He's had two other ones that were above 900. I think Jason Witton is is if
you go Antonio Gates, Ozzie Newsome, Shannon Sharp, then Jason Witton is right below that.
Disagree. I'm gonna just I'm gonna throw a flag on that one. That's fine. Third
tier. Embrace debate. He's my third tier solid third tier guy after I'm looking at these stats
but still like most of the season it's like 600 700 900 700 700 600 500 900 he's second all time
he's second all time in tight end receptions second all time in tight end yards and fourth
all time or sorry fifth all time in tight end touchdowns. It's pretty damn good. Right. Yeah,
he's he's certainly been doing it for a long time to put a recap on this. This was good
sports debate. I feel alive again. This is this is what it's there for that. It's supposed to get
us good to get mad about stuff. Yeah, I got mad at Bill O'Brien the other day and it was awesome.
It was awesome to be mad at somebody. Here's another fun, fun little stat when I was looking
through all this stuff. It's incredible to think about how much bigger like Gronk and even Tony
Gonzales were then like a Mike Dicka. Mike Dicka was 63 228 pounds. So Mike Dicka was basically
like my height and weight and then Gronk is pretty big. It's still pretty big. It's still
pretty big, but Gronk is 66 270. Like he is a monster of a man compared to Mike Dicka. I'm sure
we can do we can obviously do this throughout all the NFL. But imagine if you put 66 270 Gronk
in like 1961, what he would do to the NFL, probably go to Woodstock and die. No,
Mike Dicka would still be like he he would still that's still very big, but he would be
considered undersized for tight end now. Oh, for sure. Yeah, most people in the NFL right now would
be like Darren Sprouls would be an average height running back back in 1961. I do also think it
brought me back to the story that Gronk told us about when he got the call from Roger Goodell.
And he thought it was a prank. And so I remember he was just like, Hello. Yes. Yes. And he made
Goodell call him back like three times. I think when Dick got this call, his wife probably took
it and Dick was like, who cares? Just hung up on him. Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. Um, yeah,
he's like, Oh, this isn't this isn't our this isn't like the golf reservation. Like, like,
call me when the local country club is back open so so Mike can get out of the house. Exactly.
But I think Dick likes having having stuff to not care about, like just being able to alpha
stuff, people call him up and like paying him a compliment. He's like, I don't care. This is not
important because then if you get elected to the all time NFL 100 team, and you get to alpha that
list, then you're just alphaing history, which is pretty cool. Although I'm hoping coach is
quarantined somewhere far away because he's up there in age. All right, should we do our mouth
flush more before we do guys on chicks? We're gonna do. Yeah, I'm very excited about this one.
By the way, we had it was great results on Twitter. You've really got everyone buzzing. I got
ratioed real hard. The part of my tape Twitter got ratioed real hard. It was almost great to
like get ratioed and just be like, I even look at it. I was just like, let it just happen. It's
fine. So we'll keep doing that. We're gonna do our we're gonna pick our worst four of something
and then tweet it out like it's regular Mount Rushmore. Hank had the idea for today.
It's Mount flush more of worst types of water.
Right. Okay. Well, someone like to share with us. You should do like water brands and I
realized there's not enough water brand. So we should just do water. I like the broader ones.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So PFT is going first, right? Yep. Okay. So PFT goes first. Yeah,
because we're just going down the line of youngest oldest.
Okay. Hmm. My first one. I'm going to go with tidal waves, tidal waves, tidal waves awful,
awful, 40 wave water. Like imagine you could surf one and say that you surfed a tidal wave.
Yeah, that'd be that'd be sick for one guy. Yeah, but imagine that one overall tidal waves,
not a fan. Yeah. All right. I'm going to go with some tidal waves, some say party wave.
Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to go with toilet water, but with some remnants of like the person who
been there before that type of toilet water. Oh my God, the grossest, the grossest type of water.
And that's the one nice thing about not being in the office right now. You don't have to walk
into a bathroom and be like, Oh, man. Okay. Yeah. I will go with vodka. That's in a water bottle
that water. Damn. I had that. I had water that is actually vodka. Yep. Yeah. That's actually
that's that's how I had it written too. But Oh, sure. I'm sure you did. Yeah. I swear.
And then right underneath that I have hot faucet water. Oh, yeah. So like if you're going like
you're already at the point where you're like, I'm just going to do tap water and then you turn
on it's like piping hot. It's just it's like not water. It's disgusting. Yeah, I agree with that.
Hank, there's a big difference between hot faucet water and water that you boil in a pot
on your stove. Yes, absolutely. Do you guys think that you could tell the difference between
the water that comes out of your kitchen faucet and the water that comes out of your bathroom
faucet? No. No. In my house that I grew up in, I think I could. Okay. Yeah, but no, I think it's
all probably the same. All right, my next one, I'm going to go with like a little bit of water on
your seat when you sit down. That's the worst. And you get that like feeling of like, did I piss
myself? Did I shit myself? And then and then you can if you get up, everyone's gonna be like,
look at that guy, look at the back of his fucking pants. When you sit on a cushion that has soaked
up water like before, and you didn't realize it, or like if you're like, yeah, if you're sitting on
like a lawn chair with a little bit of water on it, and it just like it gets in your ass cracking,
like, oh, that sucks. Yeah. If you sit down on like some metal bleachers at a football game,
it's been raining maybe a couple hours before that is an awful feeling, awful feeling,
awful feeling, hate that water. All right, my next one, I'm gonna go with
Wait, don't you have two? No, it's PFT's got two. I got two.
Oh, yeah. Are we out lost in the snake? I mean,
what a great tradition. I've got hot dog water, the remnants of
Oh, I love hot dog water. That's disgusting. That is the grossest thing that you've ever said in your
entire life. So delicious. Drink it all. Oh, my God, big cat. Stop. Stop it right now.
It's got nutrients in it. You did not. You don't actually drink hot dog water.
But I'm saying Chicago equivalent of juicing.
You want a diet? You're cleansing.
Next one is going to be icebergs. Hate icebergs. What have they ever done for anyone?
We need them. Yeah, what? We need to eat them, dude. You need them for the climate.
No, but that's polar ice caps. Yeah, but icebergs are part of that.
No, they come off birds or just ice caps. How they start of icebergs combined. Yeah.
Yeah, the ice icebergs or ice caps one day were ice caps.
They break off. They're just. Where do you think they come from? Killers.
Ice icebergs, Satan.
They break off. It's a sign of a bad climate.
Terrible. Well, yeah. So then exactly. So then you should hate icebergs, too. They should all
be intact. Yeah, they should stay intact. All right. My next one, I'm going to go with my turn.
No, shut up, Hank. No, it's big cats. Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm honestly, I'm looking at
I'm looking at the order that our videos and I'm fucked up. Yeah, we know.
Um, how about acid rain? I don't even know if that exists. I feel like that's a complete
fake thing, but I think it would suck if we had acid rain. Chernobyl agree. Oh, yeah. Yeah,
that sucks. There's a rain. I've been hearing about acid rain since I was like a little kid.
And so I'm sure it's I'm sure it exists somewhere and that would be off to get caught.
And it would suck so bad. Hate that water.
Now it's my turn. Right? Yeah. All right. I rain rain. Yeah.
And cardboard cardboard water is my last one. Oh, that shit sucks. Like box water.
Yeah, whatever it's called. Yeah, that shit sucks. Disgusting. Okay. But
just rain rain. I mean, who likes rain? This is just Australians.
And they had a party and a festival when it rained in Australia.
This is so it was so depressing yesterday. It was raining. It was just like there. I mean,
you can't even go outside anyway, but it's like, who likes rain? Who likes rain?
This is like going back to to the roasting of people's Skypes. PFT is trying to talk about
Mike Greenberg. I think you just picked this so you could talk about rain to roast rain.
Me? Yeah. No, dude, it sucked that it rained yesterday. If we could have skipped this whole
thing. No, no, I mean, that was all my that was third on my list. I really wracked my brain.
And then I was like, you know what? You know what water sucks rain?
Okay, rain. All right. My last one is water in your shoe. That sucks so bad.
You get that little squish going and you just got like wet socks for the rest of the day.
That's a dayruiner big time. You're just a water on your clothes of phobic.
Well, I mean, there's certain I can deal with water on my shirt. I can deal with water in my
hair. I can deal with water. Maybe even like on my kneecaps. But but shoes and ass. No, thank you.
There.
My last one is going to be brackish water. It's the mix of fresh water and salt water.
So kind of a tweener. What's your deal, foul? Yeah, no, yeah, it's it's like pick a lane.
Yeah, it's not full saltwater Hank, but it's also not full fresh water. It's just like,
it's just shit water. It's you going up to the Taco Bell and getting like, like Mountain Dew
Pepsi and going down the line. Yes. Actually, no, I would say it's like you going to the
the drink fountain and mixing regular Coke with Diet Coke.
I do that on Mountain Dew and Baja Blast. Lockwood's delight.
All right. Anything else? The only other one I had was the lead water that brought down the
Romans that probably sucked. That's not good. I would say invented they invented aqueduct. So
so yeah, kind of a very good. There you go. I for an eye situation.
True. Exactly right. What about what about the water that's in the bathtubs at Hilton hotels
when the maids don't forget to unplug it and you have to stand in the shower for two seconds
before unplugging it. Brutal king. Yeah. And lu oh lukewarm water at a water fountain after a
workout. That's maybe the worst water. I can't believe I didn't pick that. That's really bad
when you're like, like if you're playing basketball and then you go try to take a drink
and it's it's like almost borderline hot but lukewarm and it's just disgust or that's bad hotel
water in the shower that doesn't get hot enough. Yeah. There's a lot of bad water out there. Yeah.
What about water at a hotel that you thought was free and then you start drinking it and you
looked at it's not free at all. It's actually $15 charges to the company. They collected it
off the off the rim of a volcano. Five people had to die to bring you this water company.
That's free buddy. Man, you're fucking you're all about death today, man. We got to pick you up.
That's the time you've been like we're all going to die.
Tommy was sort of still alive though. Yes. As far as we know at the time of this reporting 9 33
p.m. Eastern time. Oh man. It's like it's like a like a do you know how your friends depressed?
He's freaking up dad. What about what about water with like a band-aid in it? Just a band-aid
floating in it. That's pretty bad water. What about what about your last drink of water?
Yeah. That's that's a pretty bad one too. That's a really bad one. Backwash. Yeah. Yeah. No,
like right before you die. He's yeah. Oh no. Hank, what'd you have to go there?
Sup boys, especially Mr 35. I'm currently stuck quarantine with my cheating ex girlfriend in
our one bedroom apartment that we share a lease on until July. It's been bad, but the quarantine
makes it significant significantly worse. I wonder why any advice on ways to make this suck
any less? Just some background neither of us can afford to move out and have two separate
places as we just graduated college last Monday.
Mm. Fuck it out.
Mm-hmm. I think now's the time where you rediscover true love like we talked about on Monday show.
This could be here's an actual it's meant to be for you guys.
Yeah. Here's an actual thought though, just kind of fucked up, but just start coughing and
say you might have the rona. She probably won't be there for very long.
I mean, if she does, then maybe yeah. Yeah. Maybe it was meant to be. Yeah.
The old saying there are no atheists and foxholes. There's no one's not horny in a quarantine.
Yeah. As Mark from Love is Blind's mom said, if you let something go and it comes back, it was meant
to be. My friend had a wedding two weeks ago and then the groom bailed on the bride the morning
of had to call off the wedding of more than 200 people. Now they are talking again and likely
getting back together. What should I do?
You did a good job. You talked her through real quick.
Mm-hmm. I this is one of those situations where everyone has at least one friend who loves the
drama and loves to be in the crazy relationship and you just got to spot that friend and let them
be, let them do their thing. They probably are going to get married, divorce, get married, get
divorced, do like a renewing of their vows a billion times over. Just let it happen. Let it happen
and let them happen. Fair enough. All right. Last one. So I'm going to read this in English accent
because it's an English girl. That should be good.
Sup guys. I'm in English with an American boyfriend, parentheses AWL, who has been working in London.
We've been together about a year and when we both started to work from home a week ago,
and we went to my family home in the countryside. In that week, all flights to USA had been cancelled
and yesterday the government banned us from leaving home and that's essential. My boyfriend
is quarantined for at least a month with my, all right, fuck that. My boyfriend is quarantined for
at least a month with my parents and younger sister. He's only met them once or twice. How
do I come out of this without him thinking my family and lunatics and vice versa? How do I stop
him ordering expensive cheeses to give my parents as a thank you? How do I make it through the
month in a small house with nobody knowing we have sex has the potential to be a great bonding
experience or disaster? I'm spending a small fortune on international tax. So please help me.
Oh, wow. So shout out to her. All right. So right off the bat, the whole spending a lot of money
on cheese, that's just a currency issue. If you're in a foreign country, you don't understand how your
currency translates to their dollar or their pound or their euro, whatever it is. So you just spend
money like it doesn't mean anything. So he just needs to, you just need to remind him that the
money that he's spending is actually real. Otherwise he's just going to keep doing it.
And this is one of those ones where I feel like you just have to keep telling yourself
the start of a great love story. Like you'll tell your grandkids about this when you're
sitting on a porch. And if that's not the case, you'll probably just break up. It will be messy
and you can just move on. But we'll still be a lot is tell tell your girlfriends about the time
that you got to bang a circumcised guy for a month. Mm hmm. It'd be fun. Uncircumcised.
No, sir. If he's American, probably circumcised. Oh, he's American. She's British. Yeah. Oh,
I didn't follow that part. Yeah, there you go. So the you're your weekend away from the anteaters.
All right, that's it. Great. All right. We'll see everyone Friday.
Make sure that you watch Tiger King, Tiger King, Tiger King. We're gonna try to get someone on.
Hank, are you gonna hit up doc? Yeah, you are. Oh, yeah. Before you start playing video games,
let's hit up doc. We're gonna hit up doc, baby. I'll see if I I'll see what I can do.
But yeah, watch Tiger King. We might be able to get someone on who we're gonna run on Friday.
Let's get people excited. LaVar ball. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's go. It's an old throwback
style interview. We did it via Skype. So it was it was hectic to say the least. It was fun. Yeah,
I don't think we asked one real question, which is exactly what you'd expect for LaVar ball interview
because I don't think he would ever answer a real question. Nope. No, he looks at that as a sign of
weakness. Oh, you want to talk to me? All right, we'll see everyone Friday. Love you guys. Love you
guys.
