like my brain is back. Had a night of sleep. We are post March madness for opening round, ready to catch up on everything. Got hammock people mad at me post madness, clarity, post madness, clarity. I feel like I'm on the right side of history with a hammock tank. I went up, had a nice little sit on the hammock Yesterday morning got some direct sunlight in my eyes like you're supposed to start That's my morning routine chill on the hammock get the UV rays I did do some research though into how dangerous hammocks a lot of people die I think that this is a product of the media

This is big mattress this big mattress trying to steer you away from hammocks They put out all this stuff relative to what anytime somebody dies in hammock, it becomes a big news story like a shark attack. Hammocks are more afraid of you than you are of them. Tom Frinelli, our good friend said that it's actually safer, less people die from bear attacks than sleeping on hammocks in a year. So it's less, it's actually safer to sleep on a bear than sleeping on a hammock. My take is that some of us aren't pussies and it's extreme sports. It's like extreme sleepy. Listen, I said it when I said it. The I knew

is a controversial take. I wish I could be a dainty little boy like you and be able to get into a hammock. I wish I wish you had a modicum of coordination where you could sit down and stand up more people die from obesity every year than sitting in a hammock or maybe also true that you can get in one that's true. That's point point Also, you were so wrong on all your furniture takes but that's fine. No, I mean that's your spin zoning This is classic big cat 101. No, it's not I Did get people mad and I think my words were again misconstrued by big cat about outdoor furniture I had my dad was very mad at me. I had a few people. This is my fault

Yeah, kind of I Like outdoor furniture I do I just love hammocks. Mm-hmm. Yeah hammocks are great. You said that you don't like out No, did he also didn't understand how it works? No, that's Getting big cat 101 to get hanged. I know the argument was about hammocks He's moved it to now you're wrong about also the original which you are Hank is wrong about outdoor furniture Yeah, you're also correct about hammock the original argument was just hammocks are overrated which I stand by I think they are overrated I think they they they're rated in a way that is like they're the peak of comfort. I don't see that I did go deep into hammock Twitter and hammock

internet yesterday. And there are a lot of hammock message boards and people just like rate my hammock setup. I've been sleeping in a hammock for five years now. I'm trying to get my girlfriend to sleep in a hammock too. Any recommendations for how I can get her to? That's kind of weird. Yeah, there's a lot of weirdos out there. All right. So outside of that, There's a lot of weirdos out there. All right, so Outside of that some of the some of the stories we miss well, we should update we have more drama from Yukon because the after They're lost to Florida and by and Danny Hurley yelling about the refs. It turns out that the SID for Yukon

Told the reporter who took that video. I will ruin your life if you don't delete it and he did that in front of a bunch of journalists hmm bad move bad move do you include them on a group text I don't know but here's the thing Dan Hurley I'm fine with Dan Hurley yes if you have a problem with Dan Hurley then you have a problem with college basketball and winning because if you go back throughout the years you've got great coaches who are always they they're on that line They can be kind of asshole sometimes especially if they lose. Mm-hmm. He wins. He can be intense. He can be an asshole That's who he is good for the sport Also, the SID probably shouldn't threaten somebody's career for taking a video in a public place That's the SID fell into the trap where it's like you're not that guy bro like Dan Hurley doing that

I kind of find it would be kind of funny. Yeah Yeah, the SID is trying to basically become a duplicate of Dan Hurley you can't you actually have to be the opposite of Dan Hurley and be overly nice to people and Clean up, you know, you know him yelling not just go even more Dan Hurley be like I'm gonna ruin your life You got to go good cop bad cop, right? Your job is just to be the most likeable person ever right even if you don't Like the journalists you got to be like hey, I know you're a great guy my job could be in trouble if that Yeah, would you mind taking that listen you want some front row seats?

Yeah, you want to get Rico Bosco's phone number I so yeah the Dan Hurley thing that because there was a lot of people crashing out about this on both sides and I Not shocking. I agreed with our original take that we don't care. I Especially don't understand so fans are one thing if you hate you con Yes, you're gonna say Dan Hurley's a baby and pick at that point because they've won especially if you're a big East team No problem with that. You can be like I don't like Dan Hurley. That's fine with me. That's, that's part of sports. That's what makes it fun. Uh, fans of Yukon, you got to defend your guy. So those two sides, like great, great spot.

I don't understand when media people are mad about Dan Hurley winning and losing the right way when it's like he makes sports more interesting. That's been our original point. If your job is to talk about sports I want more Dan Hurley's. I don't want people giving cliche answers. I want more Mick Cronin's I want guys Who have you know good or bad? Like some type of personality that is not just you know, we're gonna do our best out there We're gonna try our best and if we don't win we're gonna we're going to shake their hands and go on to the next one. Bobby Knight. Bobby Knight was an asshole.

Right. He was also a great coach. Jim Bayheim. Jim Bayheim. Dickhead. I did. So great coach. I think Dan Hurley, if you look at like the last year of Dan Hurley, through the last tournament, he was the story. He gave people in the media a lot of stuff to talk about when he was deciding if he's going to be the coach of the Lakers or whatever that whole span. He was leading all the news broadcasts. He was leading every single sports show in America.

What will Dan Hurley do? He makes your job so much easier. If you're in the media, you should want guys like this around. I think that Dan Hurley goes over the line, but that's why you have an SID to pull that back and to apologize and say, I'm not to draw more attention to it and be like, fuck you. Right. There also was a, like this idea that Dan Hurley has, uh, because he won, he is now acting more bombastic. That's just someone who doesn't know that Dan Hurley's been this guy for the whole time. He was a high school coach in

doing this. He was screaming at people at Bryant or no, uh, Wagner at Rhode Island. Like this is who he is and that's why he's good at his job. But to me he plays on that edge. To reiterate what you said, if you're a fan of a competing team, oh yeah, this is you should hate Dan Hurley. Like yes, he's a prick. Look out at how he's treating everybody. Lean all the way into that saying he's a dickhead.

I'm not going to disagree with saying he's like bad for the sport. That's just stupid and interest like Sportsmanship stops at Little League That's really what it is like when people like oh you got a win class You got to do that that shit is not for high level college basketball high level pro sports I don't care. I want bad losers. I want people who crash out when they lose show me a good loser I'll show you a loser, But you know what I mean? That's the thing like guys like me and big cat are are good losers and there's a reason why we've never won a championship

I'm a bad loser and I I still haven't won a championship, but this is And then I did see Jay Billis our good friend great friend agreed to disagree with him on many things Said that I think he said on the Dan Patrick show that Coach K never was a bad loser like this. This is, this was, I got this a few times being like, you would have criticized Coach K for this. There's a difference between Dan Hurley and Coach K and Coach K would never do this publicly because Coach K pretended this sheen of, I am the classiest guy in the world coach K was also a psycho addicted to Addicted to winning that's probably why he's the best coach of all time in college basketball

Yeah, I said that and that's also why I hated him because I knew deep down he was Dan Hurley He just did it in a different way and he he had the media all sucking him off and being like man he's so classy when he when coach K goes to Dylan Brooks in a, in a, uh, handshake line and says you're better than that, that's him very upset. When coach K goes into an opposing team locker room after a game to talk to the players, that is being such a good loser that you are the worst loser. Yes. That is, that is him as, as upset and as bad of a loser as possible. It just looks different and he does it in a way where then he gets in front of everyone

and says, I've just, you know, that was a moment where I had to teach the other kids. Dan Hurley just does it in a bombastic way and he wears it all on his sleeve. He is all heart, like I'm just going to yell and scream and do all these things. And if you're saying that this is ruining college basketball and we did, there's been a lot of hand wringing. I think we took part in a little bit bit of hand-wringing on Monday Talking about is in IL ruining the tournament from the Cinderella aspect The ratings just came out big cat. Oh, yeah

And the best viewership since 1993 averaging nine point four million viewers throughout the second round I want to I said on Sunday I would like to see more of a sample size before I say that all Cinderella's will never have a chance again. I know that this tournament has not had Cinderella's, but we've had, obviously the NIL's very new, but last year, Jack Goukhi beating Kentucky,

the NIL era was going on then, so I wanna see it a couple more years before I say that college basketball is dead. And I, you know, yeah, would you like more, you know, games are a little bit closer, of course, but I think we're gonna get some good games on sweet 16 weekend. 15% so people are still watching Stan Hurley effect and then Hurley also maybe Duke Baylor was a big one Kentucky being in Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee is gonna be huge brands. Yes, it is funny. You mentioned it but on Sunday Arkansas is the last Cinderella. Yeah coach cow crazy, right coach cow is probably it's Yeah, oh by the way hand up Arkansas's a basketball. Had a lot of people ask, say that that we got that one wrong. Uh, I think that's fair. They say obviously

they care a lot about football, but they have more tradition in basketball and they throw a lot of money at basketball. So my bad Arkansas fans, I think that if Arkansas, they want to be a football school, but I think they're okay with being a bad. They're fine with being a basketball school, but if they got really fucking good at football, oh yeah. And they would just be like full sec. Yeah. What are you gonna say? Stance on the Mormons. What do you mean? They're still Mormon. Okay. They're more. Yeah. No, the Mormons, the Mormons were upset that they weren't on one side. Okay. We had them rated correctly. Listen, I'm going to be a Mormon on Thursday cause I'm brooding for them to beat Bama. I don't know what you want me to say. So yeah, they're still Mormons

unless they don't. I'll tell you what, if BYU fans, if you want to be put into a different category, you have to disavow Mormonism and then we'll take you out because otherwise it's idolatry. Right? Otherwise you're worshiping something besides the Lord. So yeah, you're still Mormons. You had Mormons getting mad at you, Max. Oh yeah. Mormry. Right. Otherwise, you're worshiping something besides the Lord. So yeah, you're still Mormons. You had Mormons getting mad at you, Max? Oh yeah, Mormons are mad. Well, it's actually a compliment. We're saying that you put your faith first.

Right. Some of them were happy. They were like, oh, this must mean that we're both football and basketball. No, you're Mormons. You're Mormons. Yeah. You're 27 years old and you're in school and you look great because you've never touched alcohol.

I'm starting to think... I'm honestly envious of Mormons. Are BYU fans not going to class? That was as straightforward as it could be. BYU Mormons, that's what you guys are. That's not good or bad. That's nothing. That's just, we're putting you in a camp, Mormons.

In solidarity with Mormon people, I will live my life as a Mormon on Thursday if that's what it takes to have them beat Alabama I will you know what that I will do it after 30 I'm gonna soak so hard. No, you can't have you can't have coffee. I'm not gonna have coffee I am I'm not gonna drink alcohol. I'm going to soak What else? You can't you can't fuck I'll get married twice, but you can't be in a room with a woman I Don't think I think you can we're just we're just we're digging ourselves

Even more angry now the point remains. I'm rooting for you guys on on Thursday I can't drink coffee But I think I can do that thing where you go you make your own drink out of like Dr. Pepper heavy cream coffee creamer the dirt and sugar yeah I'll make my own dirty soda in a we should we should we should do those for For the game on Thursday. It's just a hundred percent sugar although, but it can't have caffeine We have to get caffeine. I think I think some can I think I'll go diet Mormon I think some are allowed to have caffeine. It is kind of bullshit. I don't think any of them are. I think they're all caffeine free.

No, I think it depends on what the head guy does. Whatever the Mormon of the month is that's running the religion at the time, they get to dictate. Yeah. That's a severance recap. Okay. By the way, opening day is Thursday and we're gonna have Jeff passing on Friday to talk baseball. Did you we want to do quick who's gonna win just predictions that we can not remember unless one of us gets it how we obviously do this every single year. I assume people are not new to PMT or listening right now, but we basically just say who's gonna win it all. And then if one of us is even remotely close, we're like, Hey memes, can you get that clip for me? Yeah. And then everyone else just ignores whatever our bad predictions were. Yep. So

yeah, that's I'm going to my, my prediction is Dodgers win the world series and they win 125 games. Yeah. I mean, that's like that. Their roster is incredible. You like that? I think it's going to be Pod's Red Sox. I'm excited for Alex Bregman. Padres Red Sox? OK. Probably the most excited for a Red Sox season I've been in years.

Sox. OK. I mean, I want to take the Dodgers, too. It's very chalky. But if you look at it. You can't copy me. But you just purposely said it first so that nobody else can say it. The Dodgers are going to win the World Series. That's just it. That's

it. Fast forward to October. Congrats to the Dodgers. You won again. Magic Johnson, one of the best owners in sports. I'm going to say Dodgers in five games over is very important. They're going to beat the Red Sox. I guess I didn't say an L team I'm gonna say Dodgers over the Rangers Classic and Dodgers win 125 Actually, no Dodgers over Phillies. Well Hank doesn't respect show head. That's clear. Yeah, Phillies are there but both of those teams are oh Yeah, Phillies. Yeah Dodgers over Rangers what I said Dodgers over Philly's the NLCS There you go Dodgers over Rangers in the in the World Series. I think the Washington Nationals are going to sneaky

Compete for a wild-card spot. Ooh, that's my that's my wild prediction They won't they won't be out of it in September. The NL is pretty loaded. That's her and that's gonna be good though Yeah, good young guys. Yeah, Okay, what's your prediction Max? I'm gonna go Phillies over the A's. Oh! Yeah, yeah. The A's are gonna make a run. I know, which would be so disappointing that it happens inside the NL.

There's no chance, but it's fun. It is fun. That was very fun. Meme's who you got. Mets over the Tigers. Whoa. What do you mean, whoa? Tigers, yeah. I can see the Tigers. Scoobble mean, well, Tigers. Yeah, I guess the Tigers Google

Scoobles, I young. Pray Scooble, you pumped about Soto. Yeah, fired up memes. What happened with the islanders last night? This is it was I saw you tweet about it. I really wanted to have access to the part of my take Twitter in that moment to tweet some memes about you. It was probably the worst call in NHL history.

Oh. They called goalie interference even though the goalie reestablished himself. Islander scored with nine seconds left. Would have got two points over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Both fighting for a wild card spot to play the Capitals. And we got absolutely hoes, ended up losing in a shootout and lost one point I was heartbroken memes. I'm heartbroken. Just listening to that I saw the I saw the replay it didn't even look like he was in the crease his body might have been in the crease But his skates looked like they were outside right yeah

I mean he was in for a second, but the goal he was able to reestablish reestablish himself. It just didn't make any sense Brutal so now are you guys you guys are fighting for the last playoff spot? Yeah, we're fighting fighting hard able to reestablish reestablish himself it just didn't make any sense brutal so now are you guys you guys are fighting for the last playoff spot yeah we're fighting fighting hard fighting real hard I can't wait for playoffs me too very excited if you agree with big cat and PFT by the Dodgers you could bet any or most regular season wins by any team over 106 and a half for plus 150. I think they'll get there. Already two and oh. Yeah. Yeah, it's basically, it's kind of a gut check,

heart check. Dodgers, you want it? You want it enough? You have the talent. You want it enough? Go get it. Okay, so we did miss Jameis to the Giants. That rocks.

I don't know if he will be QB one. I think they're still shopping. I think they're still shopping and looking around if they draft a quarterback then I think James would probably be QB one going into the season. Yeah. We got to figure out what we're doing with the song. Yeah, James, I have two options that I've thought about. Okay, standing on a corner, James Winston and Hoboken. Okay, standing on the corner, Jamesis Winston and Hoboken. Okay, standing on the corner, Jamis Winston down in Soho.

Soho flows a little bit better. But they play in Jersey. I know they practice in Jersey. This is big. Jamis, Sam, what about some sopranos? James James James James James James James James James James San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. San Jose.

San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. San Jose.

San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. San Jose. We'll think about it mall of America. No, or what is called? What's that mall? Oh The one that has like the water slides and the ski thing. Yeah right across from the from the city something It's a mall of America. No

Ma I don't know what it is. Oh American dream. Yeah. Yeah American tree That mall's crazy. So yeah, it looks like right now we have That mall's crazy. So yeah, it looks like right now we have musical chairs going on. Aaron Rodgers spent Friday at the Pittsburgh facility. He is going to also go visit the Giants. There was a report out there, which is very funny, that Aaron Rodgers, I think Albert Brewer had this, he said that I've heard Rod Rogers is looking for a culture such as the one in Green Bay Okay, which is so funny. That's two years with the Jets and he immediately is like damn. I didn't know what I had

He's looking for Green Bay. Yeah, he he wants to go. He's like I fucked up. I want to go Yeah, I want take me back, please Yeah There's no other culture like Green Bay in the NFL Steel Steelers would be, would be closest in terms of like, you know, consistently in the picture long history, all that stuff. I tweeted this out on Friday, but I firmly believe it. This is a good window into Aaron Rogers and the kind of guy that he is. He spent six hours.

He took up six hours of NCAA tournament Friday, meeting with the other coaches on the Pittsburgh Steelers, like the entire head of the coaching staff, the big guys. That's a selfish move. Yeah. That of all days tells me Aaron Rodgers only cares about himself. Yeah. Uh, there, there is also a very funny article on pro football talk, which is talking, I think it's in reference to a different article here, but basically there was a very funny article on pro football talk, which is talking, I think it's in reference to a different article here. But basically there was an article in Pittsburgh about the fan backlash to Aaron Rodgers and whether or not the fans will appreciate Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh.

It was just kind of letters and emails from Steelers fans. This is a good one. My 81 year old father said that if Aaron Rodgers comes to the Steelers, he will ruin the heart and soul of the team and it will never be the same again. Whoa. Maybe that's a bit dramatic, but he's talking about the honor a player should feel for the privilege of donning a Steeler uniform and representing a team that has a history that is intertwined with the citizens of Pittsburgh. Whoa. Uh, I don't,

I don't necessarily disagree. Yeah. Ruin it forever. It will never be the same. He could. It might not ever be the same after having Aaron Rogers for one year. I yeah, I don't totally disagree either, because Aaron Rogers, it will become the Pittsburgh Aaron Rogers, not the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah. I I still think he's going to go to Pittsburgh. I do, too. If we get to the draft and Aaron Rogers still hasn't made up his mind and then he calls the Vikings

He says I've thought about it. I'd like to come play in Minnesota. Do you think they know do they take that call? I don't think so. I think they're in on JJ McCarthy and then we have Kirk Cousins who also he could be a stealer He could be a Brown. He's waiting because he doesn't want to go somewhere and then have the team draft a quarterback in the first round and then just repeat what just happened this past year. Yeah, learned his lesson the hard way. So he has a no trade clause and so I the reports are he might wait until after the draft to fully make sure because I do think that if he does if He gets traded before the draft it will just happen again. So I actually don, I don't hate the fit for Jameis in New York. No.

He's gonna throw a million deep balls to Malik neighbors. It's gonna be fun. Yeah. And yeah, I mean, the Jets, are you a little jealous memes? Extremely jealous. Yeah, Jameis in New York is gonna be a good time. I actually also think the Giants are gonna be sneaky team next year.

They have like some, they have some good players and aren't that far away from being not a bad team that Jameis might take him over the top. Yeah, I am devastated that he's in my division. Devastated. Yeah, that does suck. You have to watch that. Watch him have so much fun.

Yeah. Okay, Breaking Moves. Breaking Moves. If you're watching the YouTube right now, you can see that we're no longer sitting in studio next to each other. We're all at home. Hanks in his car and it's 6 45 PM and Russell Wilson is officially a giant and Stefan Diggs is officially a patriot. Bang bang was eating dinner with my family and the news came down. We'll start with Russ. I'm bummed for Jamis and I also think this might be if if NFL films can figure out a way I need a full documentary on this entire season because the Giants QB room now is Russell Wilson Jamis Winston and Tommy DeV. And I have to watch that.

It's great. Yeah, big cat, what off season? I guess we should say like what off season to the off season. It broke. Everyone thought that it was going to happen days ago that we'd get some news about Russell or about digs. Turns out they happened within like 10 minutes of each other. Russell Wilson to the Giants to me feels like a wife move.

Do you agree? Was it Sierra? Sierra was like, hey, I lived in Pittsburgh. I went to Denver for you. Let's do something for me. It's my turn now. Listen, I know that Russell Wilson statistically is probably a better quarterback than Jameis Winston.

If you're the Giants, Jameis has a ceiling. Russell Wilson does not. He has, Russell might have a higher floor. He might not throw as many picks, but that's part of the problem with Russell. He doesn't take any risks. He doesn't throw the ball except for check downs and down the field along the sideline. I would be bummed if Russell Wilson gets the QB one job coming out of camp just from a like if you're enjoying football sense and I also think that if Russell Wilson plays the whole year the Giants are destined for six wins and if James Swinson plays the whole year the Giants are destined for four to twelve so this is it's interesting because like with those two

quarterbacks they couldn't be any more dissimilar. I think that's the right word. If Russ was a starting job, he's going to go out there, he's going to bum you out. But the thing is, after two weeks of Russ bumming you out, you're going to want Jameis playing quarterback. So what they should do is give the starting job to Jameis and say it's his to lose. And then they bring Russ in, he kind of stables things. He makes things stables things. He makes

things nice and quiet. And then after maybe like three or four weeks, he starts to bum you out. Then you go back to Jamis. That's the prescription for the season. Sprinkle in some Tommy DeVito. Some Tommy DeVito. Yeah. Yeah. Like actually, the guy that is unlimited in this situation is Jamis. They should honestly do, if you're Brian Dable, you're going to get fired no matter what. Probably right like it's probably going to happen this year. It's probably not going to be a great year. I do think

the Giants are better than people realize, but why wouldn't you just do like if I were Brian Dable, I would I would quite literally just ride the hot hand series to series if you get if you if it's a punt or a turnover Next guy up Touchdown he stays in I I understand the sentiment I think that Jamis going through training camp the boys are gonna be fired up to have James playing quarterback week one Don't don't get it twisted. Jamis should be the starting quarterback week one. It might not go well. It's not going to happen though. It's going to be Russ. They're paying him more money.

I know, but it should be Jamis. That way you can go to Russ, go to the safe guy, bring in the stepdad, have him come in, mellow things out. And then you switch back to Jamis. But I could, yeah, just go to the hot hand, whatever Brian Dable. I think if you look at these quarterbacks that they have, the three QBs have gotten that room. That is a pre fired head coach. 100%. Like those three guys are your plan. I was thinking maybe they get Jamis and then they draft someone and then they bring that guy along slowly. Then Dable could do the thing where he's like, okay, we're going to start them after week seven. He shows some promise. Keep me around so that I can develop this guy in the future. I don't know if that's going to happen anymore. It feels like they're not going to go quarterback. They still might. Who knows? Weird things have happened. But the way that it looks right now, Brian Dable, you're going to be a great offensive coordinator somewhere. I am also excited for, we were putting this in the middle of the show because we already taped and we talked about Jamis being QB1. So people probably listen to that part and they're like, Hey, wait a second,

Russ just signed. So here we are talking about Russ. I'm excited for Russell Wilson to get absolutely killed by the New York media and watch him try to handle that because he will handle it the way he handles everything. He'll just be like, God is great and positive thinking and the guys in the locker room have my back. But that will be part of the show. Like I'm, that is the one part. If we can't get Jamis to full season, at least Russ first in New York media will be fun. Yeah, have you did you notice? Did you watch any of the

hard knocks the in season stuff last year with Russ Wilson on the Steelers? Yeah, he he sometimes talks like Jamis like the words are the same, but he doesn't believe him. No differences. Jamis believes the Jamis words. Russ is just like an AI transcript, like a voiceover of a Jamis Winston sound clip. And it's going to be a very, very weird quarterback room. Yeah. All right. And then the other one, Stefan Diggs to the Patriots, Hank, uh, you wanted this, right? Yeah, it's exciting. Uh, we obviously, we definitely needed to help a wide receiver. He's a

super talented wide receiver kind of a, kind of a headcase, but even in the, the 10 minutes I had to process this, it's good. It's good reps for Drake may like, you know, your second year QB, you got a diva wide receiver. Like that's something every quarterback has to go through. And I don't think people are expecting to, to like, I think a playoffs would be a successful season for the Patriots. And I think Stefan Diggs can help you get there. I don't think he's a long term solution. I don't think he's going to be like a New England legend forever, but he's talented.

We needed help at wide receiver. And so I'm excited. I like that take though, that is providing with mental reps of dealing with a problem wide receiver that he's going to have to deal with in the future at some point. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, that's, but that's true, right? Like if you're going to be a great team, you've got to have a stud slash kind of a diva wide receiver. The real thing is it's someone he can throw to which you need someone who can catch the ball and that's right. That actually is like that's good for a young quarterback, but yeah, I do

like that spin as well being like more than more than someone who can catch the ball. He's going to get a PhD in dealing with a diva wide receiver. Yeah, he's gonna man. He's gonna fall in love with Joe Milton's arm. He's gonna be like this reminds me of Josh. Um, all right. And then, I mean, Roger's going to be a stealer, right? That's what it feels like at this point. Like, stealer, brown. Not a brown. I don't think he's gonna be a brown. He wants some place that's like the culture of Green Bay, weather wise.

I don't think, I don't think he's gonna be a Brown. I'd be shocked if he was a Brown. It would be it would be funny. But yeah, he's he I think he's gonna be a stealer. I think Kirk Cousins might be a Brown. Maybe. Yeah, but yeah, it feels like the QB carousel is slowing down. And then Titans take cam more. Did you guys see cam more throw the ball like 300 yards? That was sick. That was so sick. There was that takeaway from pro day and then there was the Alex Restrepo 40 yard dash time from Miami's pro day. Did you see what he ran? Yeah, he tweaked something. Yeah, he ran a four eight something. He ran a four eight and speed isn't everything. I guess they're going to look at the tape. Our good friend, Arian Foster ran like a four, seven, five at his pro day.

And he had like a tweet camp straight. He was pretty good when he put the pads on. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, this is, I hope there's no more news coming tonight. I mean, let's just say it if we're, if Rogers is a stealer, uh, they might be okay. We can be the first to report it. Aaron Rogers is a stealer. I think he'll be better than Russ Wilson should I text him and ask him just Steelers question mark. Yeah This is every text that I text have ever texted him has felt like the last text ever that he'll well He doesn't respond to basically any of them. So All right, I've sent it Steelers question mark What do you think his responses I feel like it might be emphasized. No, the

only the last time he responded was July 9th when we were interviewing at Tahoe and I just said we're set up at the clubhouse. He said I'll be over soon. Okay. All right. There's just the there's just nothing. There's just nothing. So maybe I mean now that we have the JFK assassination stuff, maybe we'll have a conversation with him this summer. I feel like he's probably booked up for the next six months reviewing those documents. That's true. That's true. Okay, let's kick

it back to ourselves. Good job. Good live. We haven't done a live breaking in a while. Feels good to be back on this. So, what were you guys doing? What was the routine when the news broke? I was I was making hot dogs for my kids' dinner and then it happened and uh yeah, that was about it. Hank, what were you

doing? You know, I like to keep my private life private uh outside outside of the show uh and I would appreciate it if you guys would would respect uh what's that in your back seat? That's my gym bag. Oh that's your gym bag.

Okay. What about there's a lot of trees. Are you out in the forest somewhere? Yeah, that's my gym bag. That's your gym bag. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. There are a lot of trees where you are. Yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah there are a lot of trees where you are Yeah, you know, I like to I like to get out and Get some nature under my feet. Mm-hmm. That's nature under your feet ground yourself. That's a really nice exercise I was exercising I was exercising in nature the ballmarkers still on you If you if you must know if you must know hey your ballmarker still on your hat again Like you know what work ends and it's like I and it's like, I don't judge or criticize you for what you do outside of work.

I was here. We said we're going to record, and I'm here. That was a good point, though, if you criticize Big Cat for making dinner for his family. Yeah. And Hank, credit to you, you're like, I'm ready to go. Yeah. I left the A-T box.

Oh, you were golfing? Again, private life, private. I I would respect some privacy but that's fine if you guys must must now. Okay. Okay. All right. Let's kick it back to ourselves. Keep going with the show. Okay. Any other stories? Oh, juju. juju juju walk ins. Tor a CL that sucked. She't suck. She's awesome. We're talking women's college Hoops Inc.

She's the best player. Her and Paige. They play ball too. They got next. She is, she's like Carmelo. She's woman Carmelo. So she gets hurt and then I think the odds drop from what, seven to one, eight to one for USC.

Now they're like 25 to 1 Maybe Ewing theory maybe juju theory. I don't know it does suck though. She's so much fun to watch Jewish conspiracy Maybe she maybe now it's time to bet on the Trojans. Yeah, this is the Jane Daniels mom hex. Oh That's me and Hank. Oh, I'm not think about that. Well, I got concerned. We never talked about this I saw I asked me to do some research. I don't think about that. Well, I got concerned. We never talked about this. I saw I asked PFT to do some research. I don't know if you got to the bottom of it. I did do some research. There's rumors that their cousins, it might be cousins that their families are close. It might be cousins, actually, in the literal term.

But there was a picture that went viral of Jaden Daniels sitting next to Juju Watkins on the sidelines at the NCAA tournament. And they look to be having a good time. And then a later picture came out. I assume that Jayden's mom saw him sitting next to a girl, which violates the core no-girl philosophy that they have. And she came and sat in between them, chaperoning them on a date.

I don't know if they're cousins, don't know if they're more than cousins. I don't know what's going on. I just know that if the two of them were to ever procreate I would like to immediately draft that baby. Okay into whatever sport But but she was hanging out and then tore ACL hanging out toward the ACL Are you put it's it sounds like you're wishing an injury on Jayden right now No, I'm just wondering like at what point you know, does the mom let the son just live his life? Yeah, no girls

You gotta have girls at some point. No girls. I Don't know Hank. I don't know it that might be her niece like it's getting a little weird No, if he was showing everyone the picture like it was like he's like look at this Well, I should say it happened. I showed big cat but then the mom came and just and just I did yeah I didn't see the mom thing till after it was you know that the video of Rihanna and I forget who the actor was that MSG and it's Rihanna the actor's son and then the actor and then you know They cut to the camera 20 minutes later and the actor switched seats with his son and was like Mackin on Rihanna Yeah, that's what it was the reverse except Jane Daniels mom. There's a big Italian mom move. Yeah. No girls. You gotta let him have some girls. No girls.

Crazy. No girls. That's crazy. I'm sure that they have a good Hank. All you're going off of is like a second and a half clip. And it sounds it sounds to me like you're wishing a severe injury on asking questions. I was asking like, is it the Jayden Daniels mom hex? Yeah. Well, that's like, she clearly does not like her if she's trying to sit in between them and not let them live her life. Maybe, maybe she knows something you don't know. Maybe I guess. Uh, okay. Any other stories that we missed? We are in that, uh, kind of dull waiting for NBA and NHL playoffs. What? That's who it was. Ethan Hawke and Rihanna. Ethan Hawke. Do we have any other? Oh, is Jason

Tidum okay? Yeah. He rolled his ankle. He's rolled his ankle before. Okay. I was just wondering. He'll be good. So bonus, that was kind of dirty by him very dirty Yeah jumping out not jumping under him but getting in his landing spot. He knows what he's doing Bulls just keep winning and I don't know They're just gonna get in the playing game. They're doing that. They're doing the Jerry Reinsdorf They're like making sure they get to exactly 38 wins Yeah, and Kobe White has been awesome and boozealess is a good draft pick, but it's just such a, he's got you right where he just got us again, right by right where we want him

right where he wants us in that they're competing for a play in game at the end of, you know, March, early April. That's exactly what he wants. And it's going to ruin everything. Yeah. I mean, at this point it's too far that they couldn't even if they lost out, it's like their draft pick wouldn't be bad. So it's like, I guess at this point it's too far that they couldn't even if they lost out It's like their draft pick wouldn't be bad So it's like I guess just root for the young guys But then when you say I guess just root for the young guys and they are playing a lot of fun They're shooting a lot of threes Josh your boy Josh Gitties having a time. He's good he but they're playing fun basketball, but

He got us again because you're like I found myself Watching and being like man. They're fun to play. They're fun to watch. That's exactly what he wants. What are you pulling up? Oh, watch it. The draft lottery simulator. Yeah. Big man, Cooper flat. Love that. You love that big man. I mean the Celtics know how to take care of a big man with an ankle injury. Jason. Oh, I submit, submit 10 times. That was a bad lottery for me. Miami just won the lottery sim. So that's one time sim at 10 times. Let's see. Let's see who if how many times Washington's gonna get it that there's Washington number two nice. I like that. That's huge Miami again, this it feels like Miami.

He wanted, he wanted Duke the way that he played at the end of that. Did you see the clip of where he almost, can you try to find it after the game? Caleb love great job by him because he wanted to talk some real shit about Duke in a bulletin board moment

Okay, on Friday night, there it is. That's the clip right. Caleb Love postgame. Uh, okay. On Friday night. There it is. That's the clip right there. Watch this clip.

Play from the beginning. 16 against a very familiar foe that you played earlier this year. They beat you in Tucson and you know them very well from your time in North Carolina, Duke, how do you beat them? Hey, he was just thinking there for a second, like, Hey, I just said, he was just thinking there for a second, like, I want to say so much shit right now. He like, he yelled at himself. He goes, Hey, that's the sound that I make when, when Blake is about to get into the trash. Hey, he did that to himself. That's a very good moment for him.

That's great. Good recognition. Okay, great recognition. Yeah be so fun. If he just went off, I think Duke's gonna win it all though Yeah, I'm pretty I'm pretty set in that Thought I mean winning winning in a second round game by the way they did against Baylor just not competitive All right the Friday games What are we thinking to to big-time? March coaches and is Oh versus Chris beard. I actually have a stat for it from our friend Chris Felica. He had some nuggets and here it is. So I think the Michigan State's favored by two and a half right now on DraftKings. Six, or let's see, let me see this. Since 2018, there have been five instances of a two seed favored by three points or fewer

in the sweet 16. Two seeds have lost four of those five games. But here's the crazy part. Two of those four wins for the lower seed or the higher seed were Chris Beard. So Chris Beard has taken down two, two seeds in this exact situation of being favored or underdog of three or less. Izzo is also a very good coach. Izzo is also a very good coach and also Michigan State. I think Michigan State like is a team

reading everything from them. They might, they might refuse to leave the floor if they lose this game. They want to win so bad. Yeah. Okay. We can pass on this game. I, I like Ole Miss. You like Ole Miss? Okay. I don't have a good read on it. I like Tennessee. Mine is four and a half. Okay. They've lost twice to Kentucky this year in their favorite. I see. Chas Lanier has been playing so good in this tournament. I kind of wish that this game had happened sooner. Yeah, Tennessee. If this game was scheduled for for Monday, I feel like Tennessee rolls, but I don't know. He's been so hot. I like Tennessee to fuck it. Okay. And then I like, I like Michigan. I like Michigan. Nine and a half is a lot

of points. I love Houston. I think Houston's going to dominate Purdue. I said something nice about Purdue. So this is my say something mean about Purdue. You're going to get your fucking ass kicked. All right, let me switch. Let me switch almost to Houston. I like that more. Okay. All right. Tennessee, Michigan, Houston. That's good. Two favorites and a dog. Yeah.

My hot seat is Steph Curry. Yes. This is bad. It makes, I mean, it was too good to be true.

It always is. There was a viral video a few nights ago It was during over the weekend. I think Steph Curry it was beyond a full court shot. He was basically in the tunnel Yeah, and he turned around threw it to the other end of the court and the ball went in there was multiple angles Celebrated super viral celebrated It looked like the LeBron powerade commercial from back in the day when he's just taking step backs and step backs and step backs. Clearly fake, but this one you could see the ball the whole time. And in my head I was like, I know this is fake, but I can't see where, but everyone, you know, was talking about it. It was real. It comes

out Monday. The video is fake. He did not make it in. It basically, it wasn't a fake video. I don't know. Cause the video that's the video that they showed showing it wasn't real. They haven't showed the fans celebrating. Everyone celebrated like it was real. Yeah. Because so he, he shot it from such a long distance away and it looked like it went in. They celebrated cause they thought that it went in. We only saw that angle. It was a polar swash. Then the new, yeah. Parallax angle. Then the new camera angle came out and he missed it short. It hit the net. Yeah. But it didn't go in. So if you're at the other end,

you think it went in. They showed that to us. We were lied to. So it was a real video. He just never made the basket. Just never made it. You thought it was like a plan video. I still think it might be. Jerry's not out. You think the beforehand they're like, Hey, let's plan this video out and hope no one takes the video of him actually missing. So then you think the video from the closer angle is also fake. I think it's just he did this. And if you're looking from this angle from behind him, it looks like he hit it. Yes. Because he it the net moved. It looks like he hit it. Yes Because he it the net moved. Yeah, wouldn't that be an easy explanation?

No, cuz there was a second angle. I'm trying to find it. There's a second angle. What am I missing here? Yeah, no, this is exactly what happened yet memes is raising his hand. Yes memes Sorry, the original video was cut short You hear the celebration and then it makes it seem like he made it but there's another video where he knows he missed it and goes it was this close. Oh so okay all right okay so the original viral post made it seem like he made it. Stay woke Hank I like that you always got your guard up. Oh got you have to. But he does he does like a little shimmy right he kind of celebrates it.

See he does like a little shimmy right he kind of celebrates it he does like a little pose but then he does the just so close the so close either way step curry has a cannon yeah yeah so far you do that shot all the time when we finish recording late full court yeah and our ceilings are low so sometimes I hit the ceiling but that's you miss you you don't even get it to the rim like half the time 60 yards farther Well, yeah, you have to deal with a low ceiling, but still it's not even a full It's like a high school gym and you still don't even get it. Well, no, I do I just hit the ceiling I could get it there easily Well, I mean I've seen a lot of times where you don't even get it there because I have to deal with the ceiling. Oh

But it doesn't get there, right? Cuz of the scene you lay up. Oh you try to throw the ball 70 feet and You don't get it there a lot of the time 84 feet and you don't get it there a lot of it I can get it there whenever I want Yeah, yeah, you sure yeah How many shots you think it would take you to make this shot go get it there right now? Right this second. Yeah, go get it there right now. Yeah, he'll film you and put it into the thing

This is a lot of there's a lot of pressure. It's gonna be will filibuster. All right, so you go get it there Here's what's gonna happen. He's gonna hit the ceiling because he's gonna be so juiced up It's so what he's gonna fail and then and then have it a crazy excuse of why were the assholes I'm gonna get it there big cats talking all this shit. I think I'm strong. I'm gonna be so strong I'm gonna get it. It's gonna break a light. We're getting there. That's my call actually broken light Yeah, oh broken light would be great speaking of broken light so that the caps just resigned chickrin to make your deal, okay? He is an anti light bulb guy. What does that mean? He doesn't have light bulbs in his house. Is he Polish? He can't you're not a no

He he thinks that light bulbs are bad for you So he he's got just beeswax candles all around his house. So he's just waiting and I don't want this to happen I'm just saying he's just waiting to burn down his house. Yeah, it's it's gonna happen. It's a mistake waiting to happen But yeah, he's one of the anti UV guys I didn't know those guys existed anti light that's that's the guy from Better call Saul the yeah, it was just yeah the tin foil everywhere and foil and the yeah puts everything inside a box outside Anti light bulbs. That's a new one. That is kind of crazy, right? I Aaron Rodgers might become an anti light bulb guy Yeah, and then everyone might become an anti-light bulb guy.

Yeah, just crystals. I just have crystals and candles in my house. Anti-light bulb. I've heard a lot of anti-everything. I saw someone the other day was like, Cheetos shouldn't exist. That's bad. What the fuck, man? He's one of those guys that's like, if it's not found,

if that color isn't found in nature, it shouldn't be on my food. Yeah. All the neon colors are delicious on food. How about also you can just Everyone can do what they want. Yeah Cheetos. You don't eat Cheetos. Yeah other people can did you make it? Oh Yeah, gave the stuff good. You have the stuff curry you almost made it Where's Hank? What is Hank's doing? Max is getting like some sort of dude. What did he just give you? Oh He gave you a sandwich

He gave you a sandwich with nothing You went out to take a shot and then you got an egg sandwich when you came back what just happened actually like wait Hold on. Let me give you a sandwich right now. Well, you said you were hungry. You're like I need that right now Okay, what happened with the shot the first one? He did not make it there the second Sounds like you didn't make yeah, I had it. No, I absolutely made it there What am I gonna do with this factor-fixing did you say I need that so bad yeah, but like I don't I Want to eat it. That is a wall. Move it. Just hand him a sandwich. It was competitors packaging and I didn't

want the competitors. That's fair. No free ads. I like that. That sandwich is from the ringer. Take a bite of the sandwich. Take a bite. Take a fucking bite. You want to take a bite. If you're not eating that sandwich, I'm going to eat that sandwich. Let me get a bite of that sandwich. Thank you. Fuck right. Did you miss your whack of it? Yeah, I'll take a whack. I also accidentally, I did, I did a first order Senate to my apartment. We've all been there, huh? I missed it short to the left. All right, you have the video. I got distracted There was one thing you had to do

Talk about the food. I think got involved in Max's priorities shifted. Food got involved and Max was like, I have to get involved in this conversation. Well, I was part of the conversation. I was... Hank, what happened there? Outside? You were short? No, I was just to the left on the first one and then the second one hit the... So you can get it there

anytime you want? Yeah, the second one hit the square. So do you say you have the same arm strength as Steph Curry? No, because that video is probably twice the length. Yeah. That was my takeaway from the video is he has an absolute cannon. Cannons. Pelosi cannons. Okay. What? While Max, it it says sending I don't know all my phone it says sending so it hasn't sent yet, okay? Uh oh there it is. We got it all right here. It is Hank's first attempt Throws it Did not get it

You cannot get it there anytime you want two things one it didn't get there to Hank is probably 15 yards closer than stuff. Yeah, you cannot get it. That was the entire beginning of this point I never said it was the same length, but you can't get it there I know he's like well you can you can back up to where he was yeah And you it confirms you cannot get it there anytime you want I got it there you did not get it there anytime you want. I got it there. You did not get it there. Look where it landed. That was a great noise you made. That was close. The second time you actually got it there. First time did not get it there. All right. What's your cool throw? So me.

And it was the video. Which is the most, like it's everywhere Oh, yeah, he said that to me, too Does he? Do his texts go to everyone? I don't know because he normally texts in all caps for his pics

Yeah, and so I assume that goes to everyone at the same time But the last five times he's texted me something else that's been in lowercase you guys have gotten the same text at the same time Yeah, yeah, he sent check this out. It's like so p.m. Last night All right memes go ahead So he's a lifestyle coach. Okay already bullshit already bullshit. He has a two-hour morning routine That's pretty much it he's just He's a former college running back to college running back. He average But put the six attempts on eight yards. The funny part about these videos is he does. He does a morning routine video and he absolutely does nothing like he is he is up at the gym. He's up at four a.m. writing stuff onto a piece of paper. He's going to the gym. He's eating bananas,

rubbing banana peels on his face, and he still hasn't done any work. Like 905 comes around and he's he's not even doing work. He's just dunking his face into water. He doesn't do any. He's been six hours in the morning journaling, doing UV light therapy or no, that's the IR sauna, right? He's in like the infrared sauna Yeah, he goes to the gym. He's sweet. He jumps into the gym for four minutes Yeah, and then the funniest part is when he's at his computer and he just goes yeah I'm gonna need 10,000 right and then they just cuts the next one 10,000 of what we don't know. He also the reason I like this guy is that he's not in on the joke

because he did a video, I think Monday, being like, hey, I see everyone making similar videos. I wanna say I appreciate it. That was a video from February. That was already out. Oh, that was already out. But it still stands. He says that he, there's been a lot of people

that copied him and copied what he- Mocked him. No, copied him and copied what he mocked him, what he no copied him. Uh, and they do similar things to his ASMR workouts. Yeah. And so people copy that you're right. Making fun of him. He doesn't realize that they're making fun of him. And then he had a moment of clarity where he thought to himself, you know what, a lot of people follow Jesus too and mimicked him. So if he's good enough to allow people to mimic him, then I can be good enough to allow people to mimic me. Yeah, it's a very Christ like okay

Yeah, so he made that video back in February But they got there's an original guy from about two years ago who made one of these videos who went viral and he clapped back Adam saying Something forgot I'd got talked about for too much straight and ain't say a word so he's going back at Hall for this for what? so Ashton Hall copied this guy. Oh, yeah, he's this this is the og what's his name morning routine? Drew walls and quit read that tweet again

Something forget I got talked about for too much straight and it's a word. So it's essentially, what point do you think we're going to reach like critical mass of influencers where there's some, everyone's an influencer that we don't have enough people to be influenced. Yeah. Too many chiefs, not enough guardians. Right. I feel like we're there.

Yeah. Probably this guy's doing nothing. And yes, we're making fun of him, but he also thinks he's kind of killing it. Right. I think he kind of is killing it. 765 million views. I guess he is killing it. You're right. And also the guy is jacked up. So whatever his routine is, he has an insane amount of dedication to it. The banana peel facial that everybody was talking about rubbing a banana peel on your face. If you don't remember our good friend, Uncle Chaps did that like four years ago and he got potassium poisoning inside of his eye because he rubbed a banana peel on his face one time

and he had to basically have his eyelid lanced open and had surgery done on his eye and still kind of fucked up to this day. So don't rub banana peels on your face. Bananas are for eating. I'll also say the Ashton Hall at least like, you know, he is super jacked. He's kind of any like, you know, has designer bags. He wears like super expensive bags and bracelets to go to the gym makes no sense. But he's got like the the weird like incel alpha male energy thing going. This guy drew walls literally just goes to target. Oh, but that's more relatable. I, I, I'm not, he literally makes an entire video about buying groceries. I love that guy too. Yeah. I'm not going to make any judgments on Ashton hall. I'm just going to guess he

might be in like some credit card debt with the, with the things that he owns and doesn't seem to be doing a lot of actual business. You know what? Did you hear him? He's like, I'm going to need 10,000. He's going to need 10,000 or something. Yeah. So I like, I like both these guys. I like the guy that goes to target that just, because it's so funny, you set a camera up on a tripod and then you, you wheel the shopping cart into the frame. You get something off the shelf, wheel the shopping cart out.

Then you go and you pick up your tripod and you move on to the next race. Like I am in love with the, I want somebody to film him filming himself. Yeah, that would be a great video. That would be behind the scenes. I, uh, there's an entertainment value though, where it's like you, there's a non zero chance there's satire involved with Ashen Hall. Like he has Rolls Royce's. No way. Not with him. He has Rolls Royce's following him running. Yeah, those are leased. They have to be.

Or rented. What does he do? Does he have a business? Life coach. Okay, life coach. Yeah, my get morning routine would literally just be me sitting on the toilet trying to take a shit. Yeah.

Like, all right, now I'm ready to go. Mine would be telling Blake to not wake me up yet three times. And then trying to start the El Camino, then letting Blake outside then trying to start the El Camino again, then having a cup of coffee trying to start the El Camino, putting Blake in his crate and getting in my other car and drive to work. That's what my morning routine is. It's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, mine would just be trying to take a shit and then yelling at my kids to please put on their shoes. And then I go to work job gets done the morning routine. What's yours Hank? Wake up coffee. Come to work.

You should do a video of your not a morning guy. Yeah. Oh, really? We're familiar. Wake up. Get angry at something. No. How do you handle that if there's nobody in your apartment when you wake up and you're angry Who do you get that out on? I know I know I need 30 minutes like literally takes me 30 minutes to be a human being. Yeah Yeah, dude, but that's good question p.pft. Yes, like do you get angry at like the thought of us? Because I would assume a lot of times get angry A lot of time when you come in it's like the first thing you have to do is something with us. So are you like, these guys are the reason why I'm coming in this time? Fuck them.

If I really don't if I don't sleep enough and I wake up super late and have to be here within those 30 minutes, then yes, you're just you're just raging against us the whole way in. Not against you. I'm just in a bad machine. I'm just in a bad mood. We're the machine. I'm just in a bad mood. You're the big cat of the machine. The man. Got to get it to work for the man. I love that. I love that we literally get you out of bed in the morning. Of course. Our existence is what gets you out of bed. Not willingly. No. Memes, what's your morning routine? Wake up, just go on Twitter for a couple hours. You should do a video. Oh, I miss that so much. Cause I used, that used to be like,

when we first started doing this show, I'd just wake up and lay in bed for two hours before kids just being like, you know, like on Mondays after football Sundays, I just lay there for two hours just hanging out. What are other people talking about today? Yeah. And then coffee, shower, and then come come in here. Max, what's yours? Eat a meatball.

Max, do you have bedside meatballs like people have water? No, I do not have side meatballs. He dumped his face into a bowl of meatballs. Bedside meatball. He rolls over and just sticks a meatball in his mouth. No, I know. I normally max. You should remake the video in the mouth tape. Instead of the mouth tape is you wake up, you roll over and you spit out the meatball. you've been resting in your cheek all night max has to sleep with a meatball in his mouth that's that's that's fucked up it's a ball gag except it's just just real what's your morning routine max I just wake up listen to my dog cry and then ask my girlfriend to take her out.

She normally does it. And then I lay in bed until I have to go. And then I'll normally, my girlfriend will ask me to do something. I'll be like, I have to go for work. And she's like, what have you been doing the past hour and a half? That sounds very relatable. That's basically how it goes. Yup.

That's very relatable. Oh, like, yeah, I have to go. I sounds very relatable. That's basically how it goes. Yeah, that's very relatable. Oh, like, yeah, I have to go. I'm rushing now. You can't you can't actually go until you absolutely have to go. Correct. And then she'll ask me to do one thing on my way out. And I always get yelled at because she Yeah, yeah, you're like, Fuck, I have to go. I'm gonna be late. Okay. Where are we? Cool throne. Yeah. My hot seat is the media. Hmm. Media is on the Okay, where are we? That was a cool throw, right? My hot seat is the media.

Media is on the hot seat and I guess we can include ourselves in the media. We were put there by Doc Rivers. Because Doc Rivers says, no one tells the real story. And I'm fine with that. It's unfair in some ways. I don't get enough credit for getting the three wins in the playoffs. I get credit for losing. I always say, what if we had lost a Houston in six? No one cares. One of the things I'm proud of is we've never been swept. All the coaches have been swept in the playoffs.

My teams achieve a lot of them overachieve. And I'm very proud of that. Wow. So it's on us for not telling the full story about Doc Rivers. He, he has won three games in the playoffs many times. That's in a series. So he's just basically changed the entire narrative to like, I haven't been swept yet. I hope we, we, we have to bet on him to get swept this year. You think so? Yeah. Well, you're discounting the fact that when he, when he loses the three one leads, he's won three, he's won three games. That should be worth something. Like if you get up 28 to 3 against the Patriots and the Super Bowl, that should be worth something.

Who would be the Bucs play, like the Celtics could sweep them in the second round? It'd be the Cavs. I might have to bet on a sweep. You think the Cavs sweep the Bucs? No, I'm just- I think the Bucs beat the Cavs. Oh really? You hate the Cavs, Hank. You do. You think the Cavs I'm just I think the box beat the calves. Oh, really? Yeah. You hate the calves. Hey, you do you think the calves think you do you absolutely think the calves think be honest, they lost four of their last five. But yeah, so they they stink. No, they're number one in the East. I couldn't say that. But you're not worried. How do you make

that argument? Because they you think that they'll get swept in the playoffs? No, I just I didn't say swept. I just think the box could be too series. So but are you rooting for? Are you saying that because you can you're kind of a little deep down scared of the Cavs? No, I would love a Cav Celtics. You'd be rooting for the Cavs against the Bucks? No. Who would you be rooting for? Bucks. Because you're scared of the Cavs. Yeah, that makes no sense. You you you guys don't

have experience in you know, the playoffs and being a championship contender Do you want to play the team? That's a better matchup for you. Like you want the worst teams to win? I'm not afraid of the Cavs. I would welcome a matchup first the Cavs, but would I rather play the Bucs? Yes, do I think the Bucs can beat the Cavs? Yes. Do I know the Celtics can be both of those teams? Yes, would you who would you rather play the Bucs? The Bucks. Okay, scared of the Cavs. Scared of the Cavs, exactly. You just said, no, no, you guys are twisting my words. And then you said, no, I'd like to play the team

that's the better matchup. Meaning the team that you're not afraid of. I'm not afraid of any team. But if given a choice, you would prefer not to play the Cavs. That does not mean afraid, but yeah, correct. Yeah, you're afraid of afraid. It's okay, if you're scared, Say you're scared. I'm not scared.

Okay. So then you want to go. Now you're not scared. I agree. But you are scared of the bucks. Sure. You're scared of Janice. Yeah. Yeah. Wherever you beat him before, we'll beat him again. Okay. Uh, my cool throne is FIFA. Oh, FIFA is on the cool throne because former FIFA president Sepp Blatter was cleared of all corruption charges by a Swiss court Tuesday. So two and a half years after the original hearing, they were once he was once the most powerful figure in global football. And now he's been cleared of fraud. So he was at

the extraordinary appeals chamber of the Swiss Criminal Court, which is a crazy name for for an appeals chamber. So anyone that was pointing a finger at set bladder and saying that FIFA is corrupt, set bladders corrupt, guess what? You're wrong. He's been officially cleared. He's done nothing wrong. Okay, so he's a good guy. Good guy, never did anything wrong. FIFA. It turns out plot twist, not corrupt. Everything's above board in FIFA. Oh, so why did we ever

think that FIFA was doing anything wrong? Cause we're getting billions of dollars to give the world cup to Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which that again, no proof of anything under the table happening there. Right. So move on, Move the fuck on. I do like the fact that FIFA will just they will always be corrupt. That's what they are. Yeah. Very corrupt thing. They're so corrupt that they get cleared of corruption charges. Right. I feel like that's just in their bylaws. Yes. To be corrupt. Yeah. Also can't even be mad at them when they do what everyone expects them to do. People are asking me to comment on the US national team losing. Here's my comment. Who do we lose to?

I think we would lose to Panama. Oh, that's not good. Who cares? We're automatically in. Who cares? That's my comment. Who cares? But Panama sticks. Who cares? Don't they? Who cares? We're in. We have a charity invite to the World Cup. We're hosting. Oh, we lost to Canada? That ain't good. Well, so did our hockey team. That was an all-star game. Yeah, true. Well, this is, this tournament didn't mean anything. This was, this was a tournament? It was a tournament. No, it was at the Nations League, the storied Nations League finals.

God damn it. None of these tournaments mean anything. I think you gotta lose. Who cares? You gotta lose before you win. We keep losing in these tournaments. That's our new coach. Everyone thought that our new coach would be great. I think he still will be great. I think he intentionally lost these games to light a fire into the boys. Well, it's our new coach combined with our golden generation, golden generation. Again, just give just make messy a United States citizen. Just do that. I agree with that. Yeah. I'm a hundred percent in on that. The coach is Argentinian. Yeah. Um, okay. My hot seat is, uh, wait, PFT, can you explain this, um, text thing that happened in Washington real quick? I think it's my hot seat is that, uh, I guess there's a guy in the Trump administration named Dan Katz.

Yes. And so his name was listed in it. And my hot seat is me because I was like, Oh shit, did they mention me? Because it was the date was when I was 16 and oh, and I was like, are they talking about 16 and oh, really dumb thought they might've been he's actually a real person. They might've been. I got tagged in a bunch of people were like, it was like direct. I think it's like treasury director. So someone made the joke. Like, do you think they were thinking that 16 and oh was going to solve the economy? I was like, maybe. And then I had to take a step back and like, dude, shut the fuck up. This is an insane thought.

The Federal Reserve should just be based on Big Cat's bets. Yeah. I don't, I think it's still developing right now, but are you on Signal? I'm not. If you were on Signal, you might have been added to that group chat. I'm on, no, I'm on, I have a telegram. Okay. If you were on Signal, they might have accidentally added you to the group chat

Okay, so there's no JLCS on signal. Remember he says gonna send Adam Schaffer some fucked up shit. That's right. Yeah I wonder if he yeah, he might have got the invite. So apparently there's a group chat when you're getting ready to bomb a place Okay, they're like hey, here's what we're gonna do. Here are concerns. Here's how we're gonna bomb it They accidentally added the editor and chief of the Atlantic to the group chat wait they text before they're going to bomb apparently that's crazy I wonder what the picture is in the group chat yeah you know how every group chat has that one image what do they say that's away yeah just just an f-18 so apparently they were planning on the bombing and then they added probably the last guy in the world they would want to add,

which is a guy that already hates them that runs the Atlantic. Got it. He got added to the group chat and then he released the logs, part of them from the group chat and was like, Hey, here's how they plan to bomb the hooties in Yemen. Okay. And then it happened. And then he left the group chat. By the way, if you get added to a group chat Where the boys are planning war? Yeah, how do you leave that group? Yeah, you got to stay in that group chat They were given the details about what kind of planes and bombs and shit

You got to stay and rip off a joke and then get kicked out Yeah, you got to make a joke about something or send a picture of your balls. Yeah, that's what I would have done Yeah, send a picture of your balls to the group chat then log out and be like hey whose balls are those? So we accidentally add send coordinates to your rivals address. Yeah, see if they'll just add one. So apparently that's what happened There's a group chat for planning war. Damn. Okay. I would like to be in that group chat I would just like just because I want to know about the different planes that are gonna use to see it All right, then my cool throne. I should have mentioned this on Monday I did watch the whole game, but we were talking basketball Monday

the Wisconsin Badgers women's hockey team won another national title four out of six years eight total dominant and they had a a Shootout goal with 18 seconds left to bring it to overtime Mm-hmm, and then beat the Buckeyes the puck eyes the lady puck eyes Did the did the puck go backwards on the shootout or on the penalty shot? No, they they they reviewed it. The the part like they reviewed if she

went if she tried if she stopped her forward motion. She did not. She's made a great play and yeah dynasty there were there was like an hour on Sunday where no matter what TV you were looking at, there was a review going on Yes, they could have been in hockey. There were a couple of those It could have been in any number of basketball games basketball is like 30% reviews now. Yeah, we needed no review game Mm-hmm. We just need a night a week. No reviews. Just let it fucking fly I wanted to see a fight in that Badgers-Buckeyes game. Yeah, do they fight?

I don't think so, but they do play every single year. It's the Sunday of the first round, and the Badgers play the Buckeyes in the national championship. And we got their number now. Dynasty. We got us last year. We got them this year.

Four out of six. That's the dynasty. Dynasty. That's the dynasty. OK. Let's get to our good friend Scott Van Pelt and talk some hoops and Maryland hoops They're queen and we'll finish up with guys on chicks before we get to Scott van Pelt

It is Scott van Pelt and we welcome them on because his Maryland Terrapins are in the sweet 16 for the first time in a long time and they had the best moment from the weekend and we wanted to talk some hoops with

Scott Scott. First of all, congrats. That was an awesome game. Walk us through your range of emotions knowing that you, you, you may be root for the Maryland Terrapins harder than anyone roots for any team. Did you really just say walk us through your emotions? Yes. Walk us through your emotions because your emotions are crazy in a Terps game. Yeah. If you have like two steps or maybe three steps that you went through. Yeah. Oh wait. I didn't know. I did not. Oh wow. I didn't even think about that. I did not do that on purpose. BFT picked up on it before I picked up on it. I would, I'm a team, no travel guy. What are we doing with this? Fanta nailed it the other night. Like this tournament has largely lacked. It's largely lacked those moments that make the tournament the tournament. Then we get one, but because we live in this space now where we can't

exist unless we're pissed at everything, oh he walks. Yeah. Okay, well, Steritor said he didn't. I could show you a video of a Colorado State guy doing the exact same thing. Oh, that happened earlier in the game. Well, they got two points and no one gave a shit because it's that's just basketball in the modern era. Anyway, the emotions were insane. I am look, I thought as I got older, I'd grow away from this. That's not been the case. I, I really, really like Maryland basketball. I have a lot of fun with it. This team's been fun. Queen was a kid that they hoped they'd keep in, you know,

in Maryland and he stayed. He could have gone anywhere. Five-star guy, a lottery guy. And then he has an incredible moment. And I talked about this with Stanford Steve on our pod and Big Ken, I look forward to the days when I'm, you're telling me this version of your story. I'm out with my youngest kid and he's very, very Zen. He's very stoic. He's like, we're good. We're going to take it home. Colorado State very stoic. He's like, we're good. We're going to take it home. Colorado state makes it three. He's like, dad, I don't think we're going to win. And I said, buddy, you got to stay in the fight, man. And then they make it and it's just absolute chaos. The family jumping around. It was, it was, it was unreal. I mean

like Maryland's lost a lot of heartbreaking games this year at the buzzer. I thought it was going to be another one and then it wasn't. Yeah. Yeah. It really did feel like that. I told you, I was like, I felt like Colorado state had somehow just, they were, they were going to be the team of desi. They were going to be the big story going into the sweet 16 of Nico medved who's now Minnesota and these guys playing incredible ball and you snatched it. And I just loved Derek Queen being the guy who's like, I want the ball. It was a big boy move too. It wasn't, maybe it wasn't the most aesthetically pleasing buzzer beater, you know, not a step back three.

Don't care. That move rocked. Well, I mean, old school off glass. And I mean in real time it's like, it's like happening in slow motion and I'm like, oh, that's so far off. And then it's, no, it's actually not. It's perfect off glass. And yeah, I mean, it was, it's like, you know, it's a Hoosiers moment. I'll make it. Jimmy Chitwood.

And, you know, I did an interview with the Baltimore Sun last week and the legend goes when he was, you know, coming up in Baltimore, they called him Black Baby Yokich. He's not the most fast twitch, put your elbow above the square dude, and he's not muscle bad. But Yokich has changed the entire paradigm of what you're supposed to look like. You can look like whatever if you've got high IQ and a ton of talent and big balls and Derek's got all that. I feel like Jokic could also learn from wearing the long sleeve shirt underneath the jersey

that might diminish some of the razor bar cuts that he gets on his arms in the game. If for no other reason than the back of his triceps or where his triceps would be if he had them to look like they've been ginsued. I mean, every year it's like, what happened to this dude, man? It's crazy. You're right. I think the long sleeves is the play. Yeah. So Scott, we've talked to a few friends of yours over the years that have gave, you know, given their side of things for what it's like to watch a Terps game with Scott van Pelt. What, what are you like during Terps games? Do you, do you entertain outsiders

or is it Maryland fans or nothing? There'll be none of that. I really prefer not to watch with anyone. I mean, in Florida, and there's like an outside setup with the TV here, and the inside setup was bad. So I just left and came outside. And my youngest came out to hang with me because he like he's allowed yeah good but short of that i mean it's a very small list i mean like there's no this isn't a joke if i was

at work i'd show you they literally made a sign for me that says panic room and i would watch in this room by myself at work because i was so insufferable to be around that they just said look we're gonna give you a panic room you can watch the games in there and the rest of us can operate in peace so I get it I'm not the most I'm not the calmest dude but I mean the other night I don't know like my little guy kept me calm he was he was good you everything was good until the last minute when he abandoned ship and told me we weren't gonna win but I I don't know don't know. Like I said, uh, PFT, I, I thought I'd outgrow it. I thought I'd be more mature or whatever is the one thing I still really care about and love. And I make no apologies

for that. Yeah. I love that you, uh, just are open about it too. Like I, I, I, it would be one thing if you said, uh, you know, I'm actually not that big of a psycho about it too. Like I, I, I, it would be one thing if you said, uh, you know, I'm actually not that big of a psycho about it. You know, like that would kind of suck if you're like, Oh no, I don't, I don't care that much. No, you care a lot. You want it to happen. But you know, the thing that was like, if you're going to sit in the front row of the Michigan state game and scream like an unhinged lunatic and then Trey Holliman is going to drop a 65 footer on your noggin, then you got to eat it. And like that night I had to work. And so we, you know, we start the show with like the best sort of piece of video, best thing

I saw today. And there, I got to work and our producers like, well, we could do this or that. I'm like, fuck that. The guy made an incredible shot. That's like, I wasn't my favorite thing, but it was the best thing I saw. So you win a game that was that intense like that, that's where you start. And so everyone knows where I'm from, fellas. You guys obviously do too. Everyone knows the flag I wave. And so the fun thing is that people are like genuinely happy for me as if I did something the other night.

I did nothing. And on the other side of Florida, it's your ass on Thursday. Everyone's coming for me to be like, you know, Hey, Van Pelt, suck it. You're out. Now what can I do? Like you just got to wear it. Do you think, do you think people are, are they rooting for you to win it all?

Do you think people would be happy for you if you got a championship? Are they, cause this happens to us, they want us to achieve a little bit of success, but then the real sickos want to watch us lose in a big spot. That's a great question. I think that, I think that more people want to see you be an abject misery. You know, like, I mean, Big Cat, the shot of you Final Four on the ground will live forever. You know?

Yeah. I mean, it'll, it's, until that magical moment when the committee doesn't screw you and make you play in Denver against BYU. Thank you. And you get there and you cut down nets. When that happens then that will that will kill that meme of you but only that will kill that meme of you. So I think people I think they like it they like to know that you're happy for a little while and they're like oh that's cool but then ultimately they root for you to die in an agonizing death Yeah, so so max finally got over that hump in the Super Bowl

Which is awesome it was awesome I think I and I think people are genuinely happy for the dude because they know that he lives it right like this I'm not performance art like he's in it man And so as long as people know like if they feel like you're truly about it Then I think they are like oh, that's pretty cool. Cause they get it. Yeah. I think two things are true, at least for me.

One, I was happy for Max. I was glad to see him win one. And two, I missed just being able to call him a loser. Yeah. That was a lot of fun for me. So it took away a little bit of personal joy, but I still am happy for it. Yeah. But here's the thing, PFT, it makes you better.

You're going to have to grow. You're going to have to find another way. You're going to have to find another way. You're going to have to find another avenue to stick that needle in. It's going to be harder, but it's just going to make you a better, a better podcast. Well, maybe Max, instead of being a loser, and I would love for your thoughts on this, maybe Max is a coach stealer. Has there been that? Have you had that? We probably should have that discussion right now. The Kevin Willard thing is weird.

It is. And I have to, on some level, I have to recuse myself from things because you reach a place where you know the people that are involved in a way where you're trying to help facilitate conversation and then step away. Like I'm not sitting at the table, nor should I. But I mean, look, he just went on with my best friend in DC on his radio show and said, as of now, I'm staying. I mean, it's like, well, if you're staying, you're staying. It's really weird. I know Marilyn's trying to move heaven and earth and give him the things he's asking for. By the way, I'm on his side that if you're at a basketball school, you should have the

resources to be a basketball school. And so I'm all about that. But I'm also, if the offer of the things you've asked for is made, and then you choose to go somewhere else, then that just means you wanted to go somewhere else. And I don't mean he's going to. I'm just means like that that happens in coaching all the time Yeah, so I don't know it's a really odd space that we're living in right now where you know, we don't know And then there's this huge game on Thursday night So I'll let the adults in the room be the adults in the room and you know, I've made it clear

I'm a big fan of Kevin I I want him to get what he wants. And if Maryland offers it and he stays, then fantastic. And if he doesn't, then I guess he wanted to go someplace else. So I don't know. My promise to you, Scott, is that if Villanova steals Kevin Willard from you, we will beat the fuck out of Max. It might take like four or five of us, but we will beat the fuck out of him. I might come get a kick in once she, once he's been subdued.

He wanted both these coaches. He wanted golden and he wanted, so it's like whoever loses this game, that's the guy that max wants. Wow. I don't know. I don't know that you're going to get golden. I think he's in a pretty good spot, man. Like that it's been, that's a, that's a passionate fan base.

You know, Florida had a cook cooking so great in the mid, what are they? The Otts or whatever? I don't even know what the hell we call these. Whenever the time was that football and basketball just won a ton of titles, they've been starving for this and they're great. So I don't think anybody's getting golden. So looking forward to this game, massive game. I think a lot of people like Florida in it. You're gonna be an underdog Get what are your keys to the game? We're big formula guys. What are the s the SVPs to the game? I Think we need Clayton to sprain his ankle Not badly not I'm not rooting for it and I'm not rooting for an injury that guy's got such big balls He takes so many big-time shots and hits so many big-time shots that they're deep

They they have so much depth. The depth of the front court and the back court, you're going to need to play them physically the way Yukon did. You got to make them uncomfortable the way Yukon did. And it still wasn't enough. That was impressive as hell the way they won that game because it took everything to knock out the two-time champion. Maryland, they're going to have to make a shit ton of threes. They're going to have to rebound. They've gotten crushed on the glass by a couple of teams, and Colorado State got them on the glass.

Florida's enormous. If Florida gets 25 offensive rebounds, then it's going to be a name-you-score final. So you don't have to be perfect, but Maryland needs to play its best, the best, be the best version of itself. And I think they can win the game. Yeah, I agree. All right. So in terms of the overall tournament, first of all, how did you do, uh, this first weekend bad? I mean, that's not terrible. I took a flyer on Missouri

and Drake beat them. Um, but I was pretty chalky. I had ones and twos and like I had, I have Florida over Duke, which is one over one. And the reason, sometimes you can try too hard to be clever, right? And look for the upsets and whatever. But then once you miss that one early one that goes deep, then you're fucked. And I just thought, the ones are great. And Florida and Duke both looked the part first weekend. So that's who I had making it. And I had Michigan State and Tennessee were the others. So I'm alive, but it's not like I'm out on a limb with anybody that I have. Yeah. And what about, uh, the, the talk about the tournament, you know, not, not enough,

Cinderella's March madness is dying. Are you buying into that or are you kind of measured like us for like, Hey, it could be a thing, but we're going to need a couple more sample size. We're going to keep need a couple more tournaments before we just say it's all over and no one's ever going to win again. Everyone just says NIL Portal. And it's not new that the schools on a certain level were getting poached by higher levels. That's been going on for years. But it's certainly NIL and the Portal has completely accelerated it, right?

I mean, like look at Drake. Their point guard is going, Sturtz is awesome, is going with McCollum to Iowa. Well, of course he is. And so it makes it a whole lot more difficult for, like, a Missouri Valley level team. If you're a Bradley or you're Southern Illinois or Drake or whatever, if you're, if you got a guy that's a guy, well then someone's just gonna come and say, what's the number? And so that's part of it. And that's a whole other conversation. Something has to happen. I'm pro players getting money.

I'm anti free agency every single year because that's just stupid. It doesn't exist in any other sport. So I don't know, there's a lot that's going on, but I'm not, the ratings were awesome. And you know what, like Cal Heard had this point years ago and he's right. Everyone loves an upset until it's the next game and like Kansas is out.

You're like, you know what would have been cool? Watching Kansas play today. But they got beat. You know what I mean? So, it's going to be super chalky on Thursday and Friday and through the weekend. And I think people are going to love these games. I don't think they're going to be sad. It's just more fun when there's the threat of the upset.

And we really didn't have many of those this first round. So it doesn't bother me. I think it's just kind fun when there's the threat of the upset and we really didn't have many of those this this first round So doesn't bother me. I think it's just kind of the new reality Yeah, well, we do have the Cinderella in Arkansas, right coach cow. He is Cinderella that that that meager little Tyson chicken NiL budget What an underdog story man, but I will say this, they were toast. They were 0-5 in the conference, and they weren't gonna be in the tournament.

So that was a cool storyline, Cal and Patino. You guys covered it all, the layers of the stories and whatever, but it is funny that it's the little engine that could from Arkansas and Cal. Okay. Yeah, Hank brought up a good point. I think it was Hank, and I didn't have a good answer to it.

It was about Maryland basketball and just Maryland sports in general. Why, do you know why they're the Terrapins and not the Crabs? Because, well, the crab thing is sort of just, the flag and the crab are relatively new deals. Like, I don't know why we're turtles. I mean, when I was a kid, it used to bum me out.

And then I was like, actually, it's kind of cool because there's a million tigers, but there's only one turtle. But the whole thing about we love the flag and then slapping the flag on the crab, it feels like something that's just happened the last 10, 15 years. PFT, you're from this area.

Like, when we were younger, it wasn't like there were crabs on T-shirts. Who would wear that? Well, now it's like, yeah, slap a crab on and off we go. So I don't know the origin story, but I kind of like the turtle because again, it's one of one. I agree. I like the turtle as well. I do like it. It was like crabs, that's what you eat. If you wore a T-shirt with a crab on it, that was something that your grandfather would wear. It's like, ugh, right? That's kind of the corny shirt.

Right. When he cracked up in his slits and put down the Washington post on a picnic table and pick crabs all day. That's what we did. I think crabs would be a bad name for a team just because that's it's very minor league baseball. And also like you eat crabs. You don't want to have your mascot be something like, you don't want to be the Maryland stakes. That would suck. Right. Also it's, it's an STD. That's true. Good point. True. That's a very good point. Um, all right, Scott, uh, while we still have you, I have a couple other questions. Uh, one is who do you think the MVP, uh, is in the NBA right now and should we bet it? Shea Gilder's Alexander has played at an incredible level. I think, I think Yokochi is the best

player in basketball. I just think she gives us out. Say again. I was fucking with you because I saw your rant about how stupid the MVP conversation is every year. And I agree with what only as it relates to the betting odds. I just don't care about the betting. I don't want to hear about who's the favorite. I really don't. Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah. Are you big MVP guys? Cause it's not, it doesn't move. No, we're not guys. I'll try to be polite and answer the question. No, I think MVP discussion is, is very boring. I just don't, I want to know who's going to win, win the title. That's what I care about. I think the MVP like, yeah, I guess if you're, if your guy wins the MVP, it's fun. It doesn't matter for the rest of the league. You know, it just doesn't matter. I'm with you. Yeah. Scott, I watched you a couple of weeks ago and I

want to, I want to compliment you because I thought that, um, your interview with Yolkich after he had 20 assists was, was really strong from your end. And you went into the interview thinking maybe I'm going to get some emotion out of the guy. Maybe after this incredible evening, he's going to sense some of the same joy that I'm sensing and we're sensing his fans. And I think all of us were feeling the same way you were and then he kind of was just like, yeah, you know, it's a basketball game. I look forward to the next one, you know, back to practice.

He did not give you anything but you were trying very hard to drag it out of him. Did you think that you'd be able to do it? No. I said it. I believe I started by saying, I know you're wildly unimpressed by yourself, but what you just did, no one's ever done. I thought that was an on-ramp to maybe invite the guy to think about it. Now supposedly later in the locker room I saw Malone said that he was he was busting Westbrook's balls like you never got a 30-20-20 game like he was like he didn't know and I

the thing I wished I did if I was the real J journalist what I would have done is I would have asked him this question what would you have to do for you to right now say holy shit shit, I played quite a game. Like I don't know the answer to that because I don't, I don't know that it's possible that he could do something where he would be like, yeah, that was pretty good. It's it's an impossible task. So you go into it knowing that and I tried to open the door. He just didn't walk through it. What's the guy, what's the guy or girl, uh, interview that you do in that setting that you feel like you've, you've broken through

and you get the most out of that person because you do a great job, but it's very hard right after a game to have someone, you know, collect their thoughts and talk about it. But is there one person or one interview where you're like, yeah, I, you know what? I've, I've broken through and this person I actually like have a good rapport with. I have talked to LeBron very few times, but when he came on after they beat the Clippers, I got a bunch of notes from people, just industry people, sports people. They're like, it's clear that you guys have this respect. Like he shows, there's a way that, that an interview subject can show kind of appreciation that they call you need

if they just refer to my name because they know you are and then they give you like a depth of an answer that's more than just that dislike that the the sort of obvious here we played great you know blob on to the next one and look at the bros always been really gracious in that way.

We haven't done it a lot, but from his camp to me, like just an appreciation for how I do my job, and there's kind of this goofy thing that goes back to the chair that I always bring up, because we did a commercial 100 years ago. So I'd say him, like I appreciate the times that we talk where I think he gives you more than just the garden

variety. Guys like Jeter, Tiger, LeBron, people that you've known for 20 years, they've been interviewed a billion times. So when they seem like they're invested and actually present in a way that they're, I don't want to say into it, but that it isn't a chore, that's the best you can hope for if you're me. So that's a long-winded answer, but I feel like LeBron's always been really cool in that way.

That's a good answer. Yeah, that is interesting. Have you ever had an interview where somebody cried and you weren't expecting them to cry? I can't think of anyone that wept. I know one time we talked to Davos-Sweeney after they won the title and we weren't on the air, but it was like in a commercial break, like before we come on with you and you're like, all right, here we go. And I saw him kind of put his head down and sort of shake his head.

He was sitting by himself and I saw him and I said, it just hit you, didn't it? And he looked up and he shook his head. He goes, man, he goes, I said, yeah, you just beat Alabama. You're the national champs and he wasn't in tears, but I saw a guy in real time Feel that thing like holy shit. We did it and that was really cool Yeah, yeah, that's very cool. I think we had that experience with with Chris Berman Chris Berman cried Yeah, didn't think that was possible the swamp crying. He was just talking about football though. Yeah, we just got him talk about football He started crying

Guys I standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona I don't know what I'm doing right now. It's pretty good. Oh, that was good Yeah, no, but what I love you guys show him respect and love, which is a, which, which is cool. And he, the coolest thing about boom is that he's a, he's a legend, but he appreciates people still caring as, you know what I'm saying? It's like you're Chris Berman and you're always going to be Chris Berman. Like, I don't know. But I, I love how much I love how much respect you show that. I got a question. So we, we have discussed this ad nauseam. We are on one side. It seems like the internet's on the other. What are your thoughts on Danny Hurley and

this recent, you know, exchange on, on Sunday, we're, we're pro Danny Hurley. We love just, we think that if you're in the sports media world especially, these are the guys that are interesting. You know, I don't want boring guys. I want assholes and yeah, could he tone it down a little? Sure. But I want assholes. I love how honest and vulnerable he is. You know, he, he, he's talked openly with me about imposter syndrome, which imagine that, you're the son of that guy and you're the brother of the other guy. It's a lot.

And he had this imposter syndrome. But now he's shared how his ego's, you know, it's hard to fight, and he's talked about being an a-hole. I love all of that. But you also just have to be honest about the parts that you don't love. And if he's gonna act like that and you're a UConn fan, then you gotta just say, well yeah, that could be better. Two things can be true at once. You can love the vulnerability, you can love that edge, and you can also say

that there's times that that goes too far and you should correct that, right? There's an out-of-bounds and if you step on it then you're out of bounds and if somebody says you're out of bounds they're not they're not being an asshole for saying you're out of bounds so I'm with you I used to be real anti Hurley like when he was a roadie I'm like this guy's out of his mind he should take a hike and then he's he evolved and became I think a better guy an incredible coach a thoughtful guy. And this year is a lot for him. So, I don't know. I mean, I think he's on a journey and he's just sharing it.

I appreciate the vulnerability more than any of it. Yeah, he's a little rough around the edges. What makes him sometimes a little out of line makes him great, you know? So, I don't think... Well said. I agree. I think that, you know, there is a line, there's always going to be a line of what you know verges into a complete asshole territory Unlikeable behavior he is unlikeable at times but in a weird way I think that's why he tell it's a great story and he's a great character in college basketball and with you know players bouncing around It's good to have those guys remain in one spot that kind of they write the storylines for college basketball.

Agreed and can't we at least me I can relate way more to that guy because I know people like that. Right. You know I have friends like that. I love them. But then there's times but there's times that you just got to have somebody in your life that can sit you down and go shut the fuck up. I don't mean him. I mean I I mean me or my friend that you're like enough, enough. And you know, whoever that person is with him, I'm sure, you know, he'll find him. Yeah. He already has him. Yeah. Yeah. Like we, I have no problem. If you say Danny Hurley's dick and I'm like, yeah, there's some things that he does that are there's Dick, but I, I, those people are way more interesting to me than the cliche answers that we get a lot

of times in sports. Couldn't agree. That's you were asking about that earlier. Like when you interview somebody, like if somebody would just give you something that's true and honest and real, then that's all you can ask for. Right. Yeah. Right.

Scott, well, we have here, it's almost master's time. I feel like this weekend is when we hear the tinkling of the Ivory's, the first commercial, the first, you know, hello friends. Hello Friends. Hello, friends. I was worried about this. Like this is way out of character for us. Does this mean the postmasters when my house may or may not be on fire? Am I allowed back in?

Is that too, is that too close a revisit? Too much SVP? Yeah, you're good. We just had, I mean, the Terps are in the Sweet 16. We had to have it on. This is going to be the only time this maybe ever happens in the history of the show. So we'll have you on to discuss this.

We want this, that's gotta happen. Like, he's actually mad at you. He's mad at you for that. I know, that was bad. It was low hanging fruit. I took it, asshole move. That was my Danny Hurley moment. Sometimes I cross the line.

I've learned from it. I'm gonna move on. You're not, you're not wrong. I mean, you're not wrong. It's the first time in a long time So I'm happy to come on any time and if it's post masters, uh, I Mean I always just pencil it in mentally. Yeah, no, I am rooting for you this week I would love to see nothing more than than your Terps beat the Gators and and move on I want to see in a final four Scott I really do.

But in terms of the Masters specifically, is there anybody anyone that you're looking at to keep our eye on? Maybe an underdog that's been playing really well that you think can handle Augusta. I have absolutely no idea. That's a good answer. How are you feeling about the cell phones?

My phone? Isn't, isn't masters doing a different thing with the cell phones this year? I don't know. I always just had a sticker and I was allowed to have one on the low low. So I don't know. Is there a new, are you allowed to have them? I heard our guy beef was telling me about that the other day that there, I think people are going to be allowed to have cell phones at Augusta and take pictures.

I might've getting fed misinformation about this, but that's what he told me. I, it would be shocking cause it's that would be such a one 80. But who told you this? Someone named beef? Yeah. Our guy beef. Oh beef. Your guy beef. Yeah. Yeah. It's our guy beef. I mean, I mean beef, beef, no stuff. So it could be. Yeah. Beef is a gem. I got one for you. I I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I got a name. He's not like way off the grid, but no one's going to say sep's Troca. Ooh, Georgia bulldog. I like taking, taking a nibble on sep. All right. I'm in. That's all I needed.

You'll, you'll, you'll maybe cross paths with our guy beef at some point. He is a consummate pro in the fact that no matter where he is, he will take off his hat to shake your hand. So he'll do it like not even in the golf course. Yeah, that's beef. I saw that video. That's beef. I saw it. And it's beef from somewhere in the South, clearly. No, he's actually like right on the Illinois, Wisconsin border is where he's from. So yeah,

he's a club pro. Wow. That's a very southern play hat off handshake Yeah, and I just to clear up some missing for I might have gotten some misinformation from beef because I researched it It said cell phones are not allowed at the 2025 Masters tournament so bullet dodged I was very upset about that good that we got to the bottom of that so quickly. Yeah. Yeah So on balance beef good on the hat Take off very polite bad on the info regarding masters technology. Yes, you might have gotten dunk scintled I'm thinking that or ball sack. He might have gotten balls. You got ball sack sport. Um, alright Scott

I got one last question for you row back question RHO B a C k.com promo code take 20% off your first purchase q-zips Polos hoodies joggers shorts row back calm promo code take My last question is a two-parter. First part is I just need confidence level going into Thursday. And at what point during the day are you going to be like all hands on deck? Everyone leave me alone. Okay. Uh, confidence level is a five because you, it's, I always say be optimistic because it costs the same I'm also realistic so five I don't think they haven't gotten crushed all year I don't think they'll get crushed but it's gonna take a great game to beat a great

team the problem with when will I figure like tell my family to leave me alone my wife is a Gator and my children are in the crossfire and at some point in the day big cat what I'll make them Do is that will make them make a life choice. You're either riding with me or you're riding with mom Yeah, that's heavy wild plot. You got to put out all their clothes in the morning You know at night like choices have consequences Choices have consequences you got it. about it. You got a tooth fairy it. You got to have all their clothes out, go in, go in their rooms at 2 AM and make sure their clothes for Thursday are all Terps.

No, it's, it's funny. Our kids are all mortified. I think they're taking it very seriously. Like, this is like, I either have to ride with mom or ride with dad. And I asked, we had golden on last week. I asked him, he gave an incredible answer. I'm like, what am I supposed to tell the kids? And he's like, you tell the kids you're here to be a great dad You support mom and you're thrilled to see the Gators do so well. He gave an amazing answer It was wrong because again, the right answer is you better you better buckle up and ride with that here Yeah, but no, I don't I that I wish it were later I'm I this is I got go. And I know you do too, but are you the

guy like me where I just want to kick it down the, kick the can down the road as far as possible. I wish the game started at 10. So I had more time for it not to be happening. Yes. Cause I just, the longer in the future it is, the better. Is that, is that weird? It's first round. You want it to happen earlier. Like first round, I don't want, you don't want to be the Friday night game in the first round, but if you make it to happen earlier. Like first round I don't want, you don't want to be the Friday night game in the first round. But if you make it to the second weekend, you want to be a Friday game. So you just have a little more time to just enjoy the fact that you're in the second weekend. Right and the fact that this was a Sunday game and then it's like they're playing on

Thursday and like, what is this? Yeah. I want another day of the, because the, the, the end is coming for so even if you win at all like the end is coming So the longer into the future something is Agree for some reason I think I find it's better like I think we agree But I don't understand what that's there's some psychology of that. I don't know what it is. I'm just odd. I'm sure yeah No, I think that's completely relatable So you want another day you if it was on Friday Then you could spend all Thursday watching the games and then also reading more articles about the Terps and the Terps magical run

You get to watch more highlights without having that that sadness where it's like that was a great run I get to enjoy this day of celebration free Stress free and it's somebody else's like honestly and this is true, like watching Wisconsin and of course it's not just you big cat, it's Andy North who's like a, you know, like a family member and I'm an agony watch in that end. Cause I'm like, that sucks. Yeah. And it, but I'm like, well at least we don't have to deal with that for another day. Cause we were the next day.

You know what I mean? That that's really what it comes down. Yeah. And it's a college sports is, I know you got to go, but the college sports is so different than pros. I was explaining it like it's it's like a different type of set. It's sadness in that I won't get to watch these specific guys ever again. It's not an open next year. It's like that's it. John Tonje will never wear a badge or uniform again. And I just wanted to watch one more game. So that's where it's ripped from you so quickly.

It's just all of a sudden you're like, Oh, that's over. That sucks. And it's, and then, and the way the world works, it'll be, and but Gardo, I was just giving guard credit for reinventing the team. They played a very fun style and they got a bunch of dudes that changed the team in one year so they can do it again, but it'll be a brand new team. That's just, that's the world we live in now. Like there's no very rare to have four year guys. So if you get some, you enjoy them. So yeah, yeah. Um, all right, Scott, we're rooting for the Terps. We'll help the kids make good choices and um, we hope the family isn't just horribly irreparably fractured after Thursday night. If they told you dad, we're actually going

to root for the over, would that make you happy? Yeah, do that happier than anything in the whole world. All right, Scott, you're the best. Thank you so much.

day that guy deserves a shout out. That's insane. 2017 was that game. Uh, he deserves shout out. That's, that's grit. And then there's a guy, uh, American Matt seven on Twitter. He's on day two of tagging both of us till we acknowledge New Mexico outplayed Michigan state and got hosed by the refs. There's your acknowledgement. Day two, you can now rest. Acknowledge without comment. I like doing it as quick. Jesse James guy though. Yeah. Jesse James, he did catch that ball.

It's crazy. Remember that, Hank? Yeah. 2017. Hank, do you think he got that ball? No. All right. Well, now he's got to keep going. Yeah. Okay. I do like though when someone gets on that, I think there's a guy floating out there that's

been tagging Max Homa every day for like a thousand days to play golf with him Yeah, but I do like getting to someone like in the first two or three and just being like, alright cool acknowledged Yeah, you're good. The day ones are always the best If I say if I see a day one of tagging PFT commenter until something I'm way more likely to respond to that Yeah, just gonna be like, alright, we're good we're good what do you what do you got breaking news now St. Bonaventure's has signed big man Frank Mitchell from Minnesota well woe's tweeted the bomb emoji uh-huh and it got everyone excited and then it was just St. Bonaventure's I love that I love that from Woj. So many people

still have woj notifications on their phone. Now they're getting overloaded with St. Bonnie's news. Perfect job. It's huge. Okay. Hey guys on chicks. My boyfriend and I have been having an ongoing discuss about pillows. He thinks it's weird. I sleep with my pillows perpendicular to the bed and he sleeps with them parallel He's been making fun of me non-stop So I told him to take a poll of all of our friends when he asked girls nearly all of them said perpendicular and all The guys said parallel what there's no weird and why is he wrong for making fun of me? I think you you might just not know the difference between parallel and purpose is she saying she sleeps with a pillow Lengthwise like aligning with her body?

I do have a body pillow, but I have a pet pillow. Yeah, the head pillow. It always goes. How many pills you guys? I'm three. I'm legs, body, head. I'm two. Yeah, no, that's, that's correct.

I'm two. I go head and then one between the knees. Yeah, that's the, yeah. No, but you gotta hug one too. Yeah. You gotta have one to hug. My hug one is smaller than the other two. Mine are all the knees. Yeah. Yeah, that's the yeah nobody got a hug one, too Yeah, you got to have one dog it might my hug one is smaller than the other two mine are all the same Yeah, I hug all yeah, I'm four four, but I really only used to well then that's the question is how many you got? What do you mean? What do you use? What's your use to I don't I don't I don't have a hug pillow or a leg pillow

Yeah, you don't have a leg, but I do have the the secondary pillow Sometimes it's like that's my cooler, like wake up and shift to the cold. So you just got, you just raw dog two under your head. Yeah, they're pillows. You got no, you got nothing on in between your legs. Do you not have balls? No, I don't know. What do you mean? That's why I need the leg pillow because if you, if you lay on your side with your legs, your knees touching, that's just squishing your balls. You got tiny balls? You got tiny balls. I guess.

You got tiny balls. Damn, big dick, tiny balls, Henry Lockwood. Hank, it might also just be, you could start using a leg pillow if somebody told you that made your golf swing better. That's true. Do anything. It does help.

Does it? I actually do, I have three pillows, now that I think about it. One under the head, one between the knees, and then the third, I take off the bed every day and I throw on the floor. Yeah, I got one of those too. I should just go with two pillows,

but I have three every day. I also have a separation pillow in the middle of the bed to just divide the, cause I don't want my wife coming over to my side in the middle of the night. I sleep, we sleep with separate blankets too cause I am a violent sleeper. I am moving I get yelled at for stealing the blanket every you got to go to blanket life changing do that

I think to go to blankets it literally is life changing cuz I know I'm a bad blanket guy. I'm wrapped up I'm I wake up and my blankets and pillows are everywhere and it's like I've ran a marathon So you need to put that memes memes could strike me as like a zero pill memes might be a hammock guy yeah no he's a he's a I fall asleep on the recliner in front of my nine TVs or like by you have one of those inversion tables you just strap your your ankles in it sleep upside down like a bat what do you how many pills you got memes I have three pillows sometimes I don't use any yeah yeah you just go I don't I go flat you strike me as a I don't know this question this question makes no sense perpendicular horizontal like is if this is this person saying

they do not have a pillow under their head no there's they're saying that they put the pillow lengthwise which is crazy oh I see that makes no sense so they're sleeping on just a small portion. Yeah. And I guess if you're smaller, like even me, I'm five, 10 basically. But if you lay, if I lay in a bed and I go pillow lengthwise, I run out of bed at the bottom. Yeah. If you're at the bottom of your lengthwise pillow, huh? Maybe it's a small pillow. It could be small. It could be decorative. The half size pillow could be decorative. Yeah. But then it wouldn't matter then then. Yeah, but square square square. Yeah, if it's square, it doesn't matter. No, it would have to go some of it would have

to go up the headboard a little bit. Yeah. Unless it's a true half pillow. There's no word where that makes any sense. Yeah. Why would that be better? Yeah, this girl's a freak and her friend respectfully freak. Hey guys, love the show. Oh, thank you My boyfriend likes to wrestle me like running tackle slams onto the bed flipping me upside down WWE type stuff Yeah, he says it's his way of showing love and I should appreciate it. It's just that he's so much bigger than me I don't know what to do back. Do you have any suggestions moves? I don't know about yeah the noogie No, geez, always a good one. Nutshot.

Nutshot. Fish hook. Fish hook. Fish hook is diabolical. It's the equalizer. No, I was gonna say wet willy. Oh, wet willy. Dry willy. Dry willy. You take, you put your finger in your own ear and then you put your finger in the other person's mouth. That's diabolical. I've done that a few times.

Little finger up the butt? Ah, yeah, no, you got to let him just do it. This is a or you know what a real solution is just have kids because I like one of the best parts about being a dad is I am so much stronger than my kids. It's crazy. I fucking can throw them around. I can pick them up, put them over my head. I feel like a monster monster like when I'm when I'm just like grabbing them and throwing them because I just feel like the strongest man alive so it's a cool feeling dates I fucking I'm so much stronger than them five-year-old no problem hey six out of ten big cat oh so PFT. Oh Hank shout out situate and don't trust the process max

I've been dating my 30 year old boyfriend for two and a half years, and we've lived together for about one and a half years Lately he won't stop putting his fingers up my nose Several times a day. He'll just randomly shove his fingers up my nose when I try to swat his hands away Or ask him why he's doing that he tells me to protect my holes Is this normal guy behave smart? It's smart advice. It's good advice on the hole What is that like fifth base? Fingering somebody's nose. Yeah, it's a weird move Fourth I know yours knows that depends where you rank them. Yeah, I guess he he's just whole curious

Yeah, he just wants to find some hole. He wants every wants to know every hole. What holes is he doing again? Protect your holes. That's kind of a funny like just put it up someone's nose. All the time. Not all the time. Every now and then. It could be funny. Does he just do it like a quick twist or does he try to go excavating? Is he like picking boogers out? He won't stop putting his fingers up my nose. So fingers too. Whoa. Double nose. I can't breathe. That could, you could kill, you could kill her. I went, when, uh, when do you think like in, in popular culture, like picking your nose became gross because I pick my nose all the time. Who doesn't pick their nose? You have to pick your nose. Yeah, like when we're on

live streams, people will be like, Oh, caught you picking your nose. No, dude. I'm picking my nose. Yeah, because you might get caught on live stream with a booger in your nose. Yeah, I'd much rather pick my nose and have a booger flying out of my nose. Yeah. Max had one the other day and I like I actually felt bad saying something. You think it's weird to stick your Suit watch someone like picking their nose or like picking their ear

Picking their ears weird. Yeah doing that is weird. He's got to clean out your hole picking your nose is more frowned upon I think yeah, I know that doesn't make sense. I think it's because it's implied that you might eat it. I Don't eat my boogers just so everyone's clear Never have and you pick it ever will you flick it? Yeah Hey guys, so my boyfriend and I just moved in together We've been dating a little over a year and I'd say about once a week. I catch him reverse cow grilling the toilet He will be resting his arms on the tank while he scrolls He says is because his arms get tired Wait, what he says it only works for peeing but hopes to perfect the position for pooping also.

Is this normal? Is he doing something else? Please help. I feel like this might be written by a guy. Yeah there's no way that she's calling it reverse cowgirling the toilet. Yeah and also like you don't, peeing takes two seconds. Your arms wouldn't fall asleep if you pee. I would say don't do that if I

feel like if you did that shitting that would be just a lot of shit at like the front of your toilet and that'd be a problem. There's a graphic that goes viral once every couple years it says did you know it's one of those things where they say you've been doing it wrong this whole time. Did you know that toilets are actually meant to be shit on facing the tank because you have a place to rest your book on top of it. Again, I don't think that's true. No, I don't think that because all the water is at the back. Yeah, which is where the butthole is. I think this guy might be trying to fuck his toilet. Like if you're sitting that way, you're probably dipping, you're probably dipping it in That way you're probably dipping you're probably dipping it in dipping dong and yeah, you're dipping a little dong. It's like you're going fishing Yeah, I can't think of a reason why you would do that Yeah, I think this is guy wrote in or

Another freak. Yeah, how old were you when you discovered that this is the proper way to sit on the toilet? That's that's a great post that definitely gets people curious and doing stuff. Yeah, it's a life hack All right last one. My name is Kimmy and I had a question or religious asking for advice on what to do here in this situation. I love my boyfriend dearly. But for about six months now he's been reading everything he eats on the boom meter. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was funny the first week or so but now it's gone too far. No, it's to the point where he keeps a detailed notes list on his phone of different restaurants,

menus, my cooking and now even my mom's cooking with a ranking scale of one to five booms. I drew the line when after we finished eating my mom's favorite chicken enchiladas, he pulled out his phone, got the notes app out during dinner and you could hear him saying under his breath while typing, I give this 4.2 booms. He loves this. I love him. But don't, oh, this is cut off. He loves this. I love him. But don't... Oh, this is cut off. He loves this.

I love him. But don't know if it will stop now because I've asked him and it hasn't. It's almost like a tick. What do I do? You just gotta wait. You gotta wait for the next thing to come out. He'll move on to it. Stopping him, asking him to stop is the opposite of what you should be doing.

Just ignore it. But also, this guy rocks and you got a real one Get will get get married to him right now Yeah It might not work But one thing you could do is just you know do the thing where you do it more than him and then he gets annoyed At you doing it. So then he stops well what you could do that might not work because he might love you doing it And then you're just stuck in boomville. Yeah, well what you could do is you could rate his ratings and rate in rated on the doom scale What you could do is you could rate his ratings and rate in rated on the doom scale

So you can give him a doom for his rating of your mom's enchiladas being boobs I was hoping that every single rating this guy had was gonna be five booms. Yeah, they're all they're all good Yeah, that's kind of suck when he's throws out one boom for is it four point two booms. Yeah I don't know if you know either. No, booms either. No, you can't. But it's binary. Boom, boom, boom, boom. That's a boo. Yeah. Yeah. No, this guy is awesome though. I love this guy. Yeah, you're right. You can't do decimals with you. It's either a boom or it's not. It's one to half a boom. Yeah. Tell him that. Tell him, play him this and be like, Hey, we love this guy. He rocks, but his rating system's all fucked up. So either he fixes that or he stops altogether. I'd prefer him to fix it and keep going, but he can't be doing 4.2s. No, no. I can see

whatever the new trend is that's going to happen in like six months. He'll just incorporate that instead of boom. Then you'll have to get upset at him about that. Let guys have hobbies. Sounds like he's passionate about this. I would encourage it. Also sounds like he's keeping a good log of like where you can go back to dinner. Yeah, this is actually if you take out the boom and the Costco guys from the equation, he's being a good boyfriend. Right. Like, oh, we want tie tonight. And he's like, actually, I had a, I had a four or we can't do 4.5, a five boom Thai dinner a month ago. Yeah.

Says it right here. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I fucking love those guys. When he's doing it, I wonder, does he flex? Does he do the whole deal? Maybe that's what you say. You say, hey, if you're gonna do the booms, you don't have anywhere near the biceps of big justice.

Maybe you can, the best thing that could happen out of this is you get him in the gym. Yeah. And he still does it. Just to make the booms better. Yeah, the booms. Yeah. Okay. Good show, boys.
