On today's part of my take, we have Waka Flaka Flayne.
Awesome interview with him.
Very cool guy.
He was awesome.
I like him.
I want to be friends with him.
I want him in the studio.
I also want him.
I feel like we could want him inside of us.
We could just vibe in our studio.
We got to get on a track.
We got to get on a track.
I'm not exercising.
Just saying Sonny Digital.
Whenever we drop Sonny Digital to anyone in there, like, what?
Like, yeah, it's cool.
It was honestly like when we said Sonny Digital to him.
The surprise that he had.
I felt a little disrespected.
We don't look like we could be best friends with Sonny Digital.
It was awesome.
All right, so we got that.
We got some wrap up of the first two rounds.
We had our Monday tournament, which was very bizarre feeling
wise, but we have our Sweet 16 set.
Hot Seed Cool Throne, FAQs, Stay Woke on Shrimp in Cinnamon Toast
Crunch from Billy Football, who is back with us.
I know everyone missed them.
I got a bunch of tweets.
So we're going to have a great show.
It's going to be a great Wednesday.
We're brought to you by our friends at Chevy.
The Chevy Silverado is the strongest, most advanced
Silverado ever.
Silverado is strong, advanced, dependable, hardworking.
If you're thinking about becoming a truck person,
Chevy Silverado is the only answer.
It is an awesome truck, an awesome, awesome truck.
You feel like a boss when you're driving in your Chevy
Silverado, tailgating, hauling, towing, off-roading,
moving day, helping out your friends or family members.
Just be in a general truck guy or girl.
There is no better feeling in the world.
You are the king of the road.
You're the king of the neighborhood.
Everyone looks at you like, hey, that's the person
that I want to hang out with because they drive the most
advanced Silverado ever, the strongest, most advanced,
most dependable, most hardworking Silverado of all time.
So thank you to our friends at Chevy Silverado.
The greatest truck ever created.
If you're thinking about becoming a truck person,
Chevy Silverado is the answer.
OK, let's go.
Boy!
Boy!
Now in the street, there is violence.
And then a lot of stuff, work to be done.
No place to hang alone, washing.
And then I can't live all on the sun.
Oh, no.
We're going to rock down to electric avenue.
And then we're taking higher.
Oh, we're going to rock down to electric avenue.
It's part of my 10th presented by Paul Stool Scores.
Welcome to part of my take presented by the Chevy Silverado,
the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever.
Today is Wednesday, March 24th.
And I have officially entered college basketball withdrawal.
My body's shaking.
The schedule was weird because it felt like a Monday night
football game when you have something to look forward to
all day, that first day back at work.
And then on Tuesday, there's no Mac.
You love the Mac.
I always appreciated it as kind of like a hair
of the dog from the weekend, a little football
to get you out of all the football.
And so there should be a basketball game on.
Jake pointed out that was it the CBA?
CBI?
CBI.
CBI is on tonight?
Please don't disrespect the CBI.
I'm more of whatever one the Pineapple tournament was.
Bellarmine is playing tonight.
I bet on Bellarmine on Monday.
I say it how I want to say it.
I'll say it how I want.
Where is Bellarmine?
I think in North Carolina.
Or no, yeah, it's in Kentucky.
Louisville, yeah.
OK, Bellarmine is going to be playing tonight.
I'm excited for that game.
So yeah, no, there was, I woke up today and I was like, wait.
We don't just have college basketball forever.
I actually thought about it.
How many more days could you have done that?
I probably would have had one more day in me of just eating
garbage and watching college basketball wall to wall.
And then I would have been like, all right,
I need to go back to regular life.
It's essentially it was like a four or five day
bachelor party when you're on a bachelor party
and you have that moment, you look around, you're like,
should we just like get a place together and just
do this all the time?
And then you wake up the next morning, you're like, holy fuck,
I need to go back to my family and my regular life
and just like try to sleep a little bit
and drink some water and do regular people things.
So me and Hank and Bubba, we got out of there on Monday morning.
And that's the move, just like a bachelor party.
Not staying that extra day, coming back,
kind of felt like a normal human.
But there is something about being really lazy
that makes you feel lazier.
Like I was exhausted from doing absolutely nothing
all weekend except, well, I wasn't doing nothing.
You know what?
Self-care is important.
I was actually mentally stimulating myself
the entire time I was thinking very hard
using critical analysis.
I was working very hard at doing nothing.
But you still, even though you don't do shit all day,
you feel exhaust.
I felt more tired than if I had run like a half marathon.
Easily, easily.
But we're gonna pick up the piece.
We've got Sweet 16 on Saturday, Sunday,
Elite 8, Monday, Tuesday.
So Monday's games, it was like everything was restored.
The craziness of this tournament.
And then you went to Monday and you're like,
oh yeah, some of these teams are really good for a reason.
Blowouts left and right.
The good teams advance.
Michigan advances, Gonzaga advances.
You know, Michigan was in a little bit of a fight,
but Gonzaga was pretty easy.
Oregon, Pac-12.
Bill Walton, we need to get Bill Walton somehow involved.
Like we need to get him to Indy
because this is what he has been.
The Pac-12 has been down for a little bit here.
He's been just saying Conference of Champions,
just fighting through it.
And now, after a college basketball season
where all the stories were the Big 10 and the Big 12
were by far and away the best conferences
and the ACC is having a down year and all this stuff,
the Pac-12 has four teams in the Sweet 16
and the Big 12 and the Big 10 each have one.
Billy was right.
Picking two big Pac-12 teams, right?
He took Gonzaga and I in his Final Four.
But those weren't Pac-12.
He didn't take any Pac-12.
Oh, okay, yeah, Gonzaga's not.
I talked myself into the take.
It was a Bill Walton move.
Okay, yeah, so Bill Walton is actually,
I saw him get some shit online today.
I saw somebody saying that Bill Walton is actually a bad,
he's the reason why no one respects the Pac-12.
Yes, exactly, he's the biggest cheerleader you have.
The Conference of Champions is what he says over and over.
He's incepted us into thinking that the Pac-12
is actually the Conference of Champions
and now he's incepted the teams themselves
into believing in themselves so much
that they are now advancing
to potentially become the Conference of Champions.
No, Larry Scott was the reason why and he's gone.
So the Pac-12 was officially back.
Pac-12 was back big time.
The last of the blue bloods is out.
Yep, Kansas is gone.
First time since what was it, 1979, I think,
the Duke UNC, Kansas and North Carolina aren't in the Sweet 16.
One of those four is not in the Sweet 16.
There's a, the most, the sum of the all seeds
is it's the most ever with 94, 5.88 average.
But the craziest part about this tournament,
and it's actually, I'm gonna say it,
like there's some people like,
oh, it doesn't feel real because there's no crowds on this.
This might be the best tournament
just for the simple fact that you have awesome stories
because this happens with March Madness
where we root for upsets.
But then when the upsets go too far,
we're like, hey, this kind of sucks
because they're eventually gonna get blown out
by the really good teams.
So we have the upsets,
but we also have the really good teams too
because you have the highest sum of seeds ever
and then you have two ones and two twos
and a three still alive.
So it's actually the perfect bracket
in terms of some really fun stories
and also some really fucking good teams
that were really good all year that are showing it.
Like Alabama, Gonzaga, Michigan
were three of the top 10 teams pretty much all season
and to have them in the Sweet 16 is great
and it's also great to have Loyola Chicago
and Oregon State and Oro Roberts
and like these other fun stories.
Do you think that we should reseed
after the second round?
Like us personally, not the tournament obviously.
Yeah, I'll do it right now.
Okay, let's reseed.
We've got Gonzaga against Creighton.
That's a one against, that's one.
Creighton's first Sweet 16 ever,
which by the way, shout out to whoever was doing the PR
for Creighton because that's something I did not realize.
When they're like, yeah, this is the first time
in the current setup of the tournament
that Creighton has made to the Sweet 16.
If you had asked me that question,
I would have said they've been to at least five.
Just through the Dougie McBuckets years.
Right.
They definitely won a championship at some point.
So I have Gonzaga as a one
and then I'll put Creighton as a seven.
No, I think what we gotta do is reseed the whole,
so do it the other way, do it.
Oro Roberts is the 16 seed, the only 16 seed,
like it should be one through 16.
Okay.
Oro Roberts is 16.
I'm bumping Loyola up to the four.
No, no, what I'm saying is it's only one through 16 is left.
Yeah.
Four is the number between one.
You think they're the fourth best team?
I'm putting them as my, yeah.
Sister Jean the witch.
This actually is terrible podcasting
because we didn't plan this, so let's just.
I assume you guys are trying to do it,
but it's not organized at all.
Yeah, let's cancel this, let's cancel it.
We can tweet it out.
Okay, you can, you know what?
You do.
You reseed them.
You reseed them for us.
Okay, I'll tweet it out tomorrow.
Give us just a taste though.
Gonzaga versus Oro Roberts is the one 16 game.
Baylor against Oregon State, the two 15 game.
He's done this.
He's ready for this.
I'm just ready.
No, I like this.
Michigan versus.
Oh, we have three ones.
I said two ones.
We have three ones.
Yeah, Michigan's the three.
Syracuse is the 14.
Let's go with Bama the four seed
and the 13's gotta be UCLA.
He's doing it right now.
This is great.
The five is gonna be Alabama.
Yep.
The 12 is probably.
Villanova?
Oregon?
Creighton?
Oregon?
Oregon, okay.
The six, we can do a bit.
Arkansas.
Okay.
Creighton.
Okay.
Seven, 10.
I think the committee got it wrong.
Villanova, USC.
Okay.
Oh, I think it's the other way around.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I would actually say.
I would have Arkansas over Syracuse and Alabama.
Oh, I forgot about Houston.
No, he does.
Wait, I forgot about Houston.
No, he said that he had Arkansas as the six.
Yeah, Syracuse is the 14.
Oh, I thought he said the four.
No, 14.
He's a big jet.
Okay, I was like, why aren't we calling him out?
No, I forgot about Houston.
Again, this is the worst radio ever.
I'll type it out.
I'll type it out.
And that was us doing our Mike Francesa bit
on Pardon My Take.
That was just us naming colleges
for about five minutes consecutively.
Okay, so other thoughts.
So it is like the perfect,
the fact that we have these crazy stories
with Oral Roberts and Oregon State
and then like I said, I misspoke two ones.
It's three ones.
Makes it awesome.
Now, Jake, do you have your updated
any one shining moments that were added from Monday?
The shoe game from Ohio has to be it.
Yeah, the fact that he was playing
with two different shoes.
Why didn't he just put on the new pair?
I don't know.
So he broke one of his shoes
and they had a new pair on the sideline.
He just took the right shoe from his,
from the new pair and he's wearing two different shoes.
If I did that, I would have to lay down for a week.
It was, don't fuck your back.
It looked so stupid too,
because it was a gray shoe.
It looked like a kicker.
So I think that probably gets thrown in there maybe.
Yeah, maybe.
Forkiness.
So while we were recording on Sunday night,
Kade Cunningham had this ridiculous stretch
where he saved the ball from going out of bounds,
made a three and then made another,
or assisted on another three.
He had like two threes in like six seconds.
So that's how it's gonna get in.
And then it's gonna be a little montage
of Alabama making threes against Maryland
because they made I think like 16 or 17 last night.
Yeah, that was crazy.
Alabama, they're Spider-Man.
They could shoot their way to their championship.
Luca Garza crying, hugging Fran McAfrey.
That was sad.
Yeah, very sad.
That's it so far.
Because Monday it was all blowouts,
bunch of chalk.
It was a bunch of chalk.
So yeah.
Yeah, all right.
So yeah, Luca Garza definitely has to be on there.
And maybe, I mean, Kansas getting warped the way they did
was significant.
As they probably went off for USC.
Yes, the Mobley Brothers.
Yeah.
As a coach.
I also like Turgeon after the game.
Turgeon after the game.
He basically said like this was as good
as a national championship for us this year.
And then went through the list of all the guys
that they had out and how many different guys
they had playing out of position.
It's like this is the best team.
Sounds like he's.
This is the best team I've ever coached.
He's basically applying for his job again.
Yes, yes.
He's like technically, he did the thing that we do
with like Bill Belichick.
This is my best coaching job that I've ever done.
I do think if you're a Maryland fan,
that's like losing in the tournament sucks,
but losing like Rutgers did sucked way more
than how Maryland lost where it was like no one.
Like Alabama was so good on Monday night,
they could have beaten an NBA team.
Yeah, that's the spin zone he should have gone with.
It's just like we ran into a team that I had on my board
as being the best team in the country.
That's what he should have said.
Right, right.
Exactly.
The other, we also had a.
Oh, shout out, Mick Cronin.
Yeah.
Mick Cronin.
And Hap.
Putting it together.
Dude, the factual has been awesome.
Listen, apparently if you're born in Cincinnati
or you spend more than two years in Cincinnati,
you become an excellent college basketball coach.
Yeah, they were.
Well, that was also what I was saying earlier
about how when you have the lower seeds go a little too far,
kind of ruins it.
That UCLA, Abilene Christian game
was the perfect example where you watched it
and everyone on UCLA was like a foot taller.
Yeah.
Like this doesn't, this doesn't work.
If they had picked teams, it was so unfair.
It takes a certain type of matchup
to have two of the Cinderella's play against each other
and for it to still feel like another big game.
Right.
In this case, it didn't really feel like another big game.
But Oregon State and Loyola, that feels like a big game to me.
Yes.
The eight against the 12, but it does feel,
by the way, those teams played in the first two rounds,
that feels like it's a four or five.
Since we are a pro, Rick Petino podcast now,
I just want to say, I think his quote was fantastic.
He, I don't know if you guys saw,
he said that if Coach Cowell went to the pros today
and Kentucky respectfully called me,
I would say that's the greatest honor in the world,
but I'm very happy I'm staying at my own.
It's all class.
So that's class to hypothetically be offered
the Kentucky job out of thin air,
even though Kentucky would never offer him the job again.
They can't.
To try it down.
It's all class.
Careful.
It's all class.
I think that there's a good chance
that that Rick Petino gets offered the Kentucky job
and he will turn it down.
I think he's going to be in Iona for the long haul.
I would just like to comment.
I'm a huge Rick Petino fan.
Yeah.
Always have been.
Well, you're a security.
So yeah.
Well, just want to know.
I've noticed that a lot of the media out there
is taking like some pot shots.
I've seen a lot of tweets about Rick Petino saying things like,
this can't be the Rick Petino redemption tour
because he got into the NCAA tournament.
Yeah, it is.
He took a team that had COVID all year
after spending a year in Greece coaching those guys up
and came and he took that small school back
to the NCAA tournament.
He went dancing.
Okay.
So please put respect on Rick Petino's name.
Hey, I have been for a long time.
It's just sad to see people in the media joking about him.
It's like this guy puts his heart and his soul into his job.
Easily.
Hank, want to say something nice about Rick Petino?
Okay, thanks.
Providence.
Providence.
Oh, Providence.
There you go.
That's nice.
You respect Providence.
I mean, you're a big East guy through and through.
Right.
Right.
You, Rick Petino's career ended when he left Providence.
Exactly.
Yeah, according to you.
Anything else before we do hot seek?
Oh, I saw ProDays are obviously back.
Najee Harris, so he drove nine hours
because his flight got canceled?
Yeah, just to gas up his voice.
Yeah, he wasn't even participating.
So everyone was saying football guy,
but like, wait, he wasn't participating?
No.
Oh.
You're just going to support his teammates.
Who hasn't driven somewhere when their flight got canceled?
I wasn't that crazy.
I think that to get full, like, this guy wants it more,
you have to sleep in your car at least one night.
No, it's not about him.
He wasn't even participating.
He was just going.
He went there because his teammates were going
to be doing their pro day.
He wanted to be there to help the football guy.
It's not a football guy.
It's a king's helping king's move.
Cheerleader move.
Cheerleader move.
I like what Bo Nix said.
Auburn quarterback Bo Nix said,
there's really nothing that you can do
about the criticism, to be honest.
Everyone's always going to have something to say,
positive or negative.
One thing that always sticks out to me,
even going to the cross,
Jesus had people talking bad about him.
So if they were talking bad about him,
they're going to consistently talk bad about me.
That's for sure.
Why was Bo Nix talking?
Because they were asking at his pro day.
He's not, he's not, he's a sophomore.
Oh, well it was after this.
It was during an interview this year.
Got it, got it.
I was like, Bo Nix is just concerning himself
in the pro days.
And I don't, he's not going to be a pro.
Oh yeah, he's going to get drafted.
Somebody's going to draft Bo Nix
just based on his name only.
He's not shown it yet.
I think we should have, by the way,
we should have pro days for everyone.
Because it's the greatest,
it's the greatest pump up.
You basically get to hang out at your home facility,
throw to your receivers, do, adjust your drills.
Like a lot of these pro days for quarterbacks,
they just go out there,
they throw the same routes they've been throwing forever.
They throw it deep a few times.
Everyone's like, holy shit, he impressed his pro day.
Yeah, we should have pro days
where some scouts come and sit in here
and we just tell jokes and they laugh
and it's like, well, good job guys.
Yeah, there was a, dude,
I think I'm in love with Rondeau Moore,
by the way, from Purdue.
Yeah, he's awesome.
Five seven.
Yes, he's awesome.
He's been up at five seven.
He's been awesome.
Yeah, but he's-
Him and his, in Bell.
He squats 600 pounds.
Yeah, no, he's a beast.
Yeah.
He's, you draft him as a playmaker.
That's his position.
Offensive weapon.
Yeah, it doesn't, running back, wide receiver,
because I know some people like,
oh, we'll make him a running back.
He's a wide receiver, but he's a playmaker
first and foremost.
That's the guy that you get the ball in his hands.
You know what he does?
Two things.
One, he's a matchup nightmare.
Two, he keeps opposing defensive coordinators up at night.
You just have to, all you have to do
if you're an offensive coordinator
is you gotta draft him and then get him in space.
That's it.
That's it.
If you draft Rondeau Moore, get him in space, Super Bowl.
We're trying to get more touches with Rondeau Moore.
That's all it takes.
What do you say, Billy, from your pro day?
We should, you should have a pro day.
You never got a pro day.
I never did.
You got robbed of your pro day.
But what could have been?
We'll script out your throws.
Yes.
We'll run the routes for you.
Billy, you have unlimited upside, really,
because there's no college tape of you playing quarterback,
like zero college tape.
Like actually zero.
There's none.
I know.
But you were so highly touted coming out of high school
that this is guy that, like, Billy is a project quarterback.
He's got, you know what you are, Billy?
You're raw.
You got the raw tools.
Get my hands on you.
Get him in camp.
Get you working with, like, a veteran offensive coordinator.
You know what we need to get him?
Quarterback guru.
I have put Jordan Palmer football in my rear view
playing football.
No, Billy, don't say that.
You got, sometimes you got to leave it alone.
Is this officially, are you officially retiring right now?
Have you filed the paperwork?
Are you officially retiring right now?
No.
No.
No, you're not.
By the way, Billy, I haven't seen you in a few days.
I noticed that on Sunday night, we didn't get,
I love you guys, text.
What happened there?
Did you not get drunk enough or did you get too drunk?
No, I was, I was actually doing work.
All right, so Billy told me when I got back to the office
on Monday that he actually fell asleep.
I wanted the, I love you guys.
I love the, I love you guys.
The mountains were blue.
I was lying about, yeah, I was just doing some stuff.
I love it.
I love the, I love you guys text.
They will come.
All right, good.
What do you think Jordan Palmer does right after the draft?
After he's done quarterback guruing his quarterbacks
that he's been hired to work with.
He just does a bunch of radio interviews where he's like,
look at all the guys that got trapped.
So, okay, that's the time of year that we need to get
with Jordan Palmer and have him work with Billy.
He's free slate, free open schedule.
Would you come out of retirement for that, Billy?
To be honest, guys, my shoulder's pretty shot.
Billy, come on.
Because when I stopped playing quarterback, okay.
How great would that be though?
Pro days, like an accountant gets a pro day
and they just sit there and they just do,
I don't know what accountants do, like Excel sheets
or something.
And so they just, they invite everyone over
and they just sit there and they type in like,
oh, good job, like, did you see that?
Word per minute.
Yeah, so fast they can give you some numbers to hide.
A bartender's pro day.
Like everyone should get a chance at their own pro day
just to gas them up.
You know who I really love when they do the,
they're like stunt tricks and shit on TikTok
is like construction workers.
When it's like, look how great this guy is
at driving in fence posts.
And he does like 10 in a minute.
That guy should have a pro day.
Yes, I also, I realized that like the first thought
I had was accountant because my brain,
I've been so out of the real world for so long
that my brain is like a children's book
where it's like, well, you got accountants,
you got lawyers, you got police officers,
firefighters, teachers, nurses, and that's it.
A postman.
That's it, there's, and then you have a society.
Yeah, there's, you always got tossing like the postman
and the milkman.
Those are always in the cartoon books.
That's pretty much all I got.
I'm trying to, a lifeguard.
You gotta have a lifeguard.
Crossing guard.
Crossing guard.
Garbage guy.
Garbage guy.
Just anything that's in a Richard Scarry book.
No, yeah, there's, there are 10 jobs in my brain.
Teacher?
Teacher, yeah, teachers, teachers are for sure there.
Teacher slash athlete.
There was that list that came out today
where they asked kids,
what do you want to do when they grow up?
And people were getting mad at it online.
People were like, kids are so unrealistic
because the top jobs that they want
are like vlogger, YouTuber, singer, actor,
athlete slash teacher.
And then way down was like lawyer and doctor.
It's like, yeah, do you want kids to be grown up
being like, I really want to be a lawyer?
Yeah.
No, you want kids growing up to want jobs
that Kanye West would talk about his guidance counselor
telling him he was insane for dreaming of.
Right.
You want kids to, you're trying to take away
the kids' jobs of doing nothing
except for talking into a camera on YouTube
and making millions of dollars.
That's the best job in the world to have.
You get, you decide that you want to be a lawyer
when you go to college and you suck at math
and you're like, well, guess I'll be a lawyer.
Yeah.
That's when that realization should occur.
You have a couple of friends that are like,
you're really good at being an asshole in arguments.
Yeah, like you should be a lawyer.
You should be a lawyer.
You never lose, yeah, you're good at debating.
You should be a lawyer and then they become a lawyer
and then they hate their life.
Spin zone, all the jobs on the kids list,
can't automate them.
That's true.
Vlogger, somebody's going to automate my job one day.
You just have a Hitler button and a Jesus button.
Hit it over and over.
Smash it.
Smash him.
All right, let's do a hot seat cool drone.
It's brought to you by our friends at Mugsy Jeans.
You've heard the name from us.
Mugsy Jeans are the only jeans you wear
because they look like jeans but feel like sweatpants.
That's no exaggeration.
We don't know how the great guys at Mugsy did it,
but their jeans feel like sweatpants
that had sex with even more comfortable sweatpants
and somehow had an awesome jeans baby.
Mugsy was started by a stoolie
who was tired of being uncomfortable in his jeans.
His goal was simple, reinvent men's jeans
to look good and feel outrageously comfortable.
And after five years of working with industry experts,
he perfected jeans for the common man.
I only wear Mugsy Jeans.

Hank, hot seat cool-tron.
My hot seat is Bleacher Report.
Uh-oh.
They're cash cows, Lamella Ball and LeBron James,
both got injured for significant time.
Yeah.
What happened to LeBron?
Way to try to steal the NCAA tournament, LeBron,
by getting injured.
Seriously.
He got rolled up on, was it Solomon Hill?
And then he dove on a loose ball and then.
Assaulted that chair?
Yeah, and then LeBron rolled over and acted
like he got his foot caught in a bear trap.
And so he's got a high ankle sprain,
so he's gonna be out for a little bit.
He started complaining, yeah.
He just found out he might be able to come back
at the very end of the season,
but they're gonna have to reevaluate
in like a month or something.
I thought it was a clean play by Solomon Hill.
He's getting dragged online a little bit.
He had to tweet like, RIP,
I think his hashtag was RIP to the mentions though,
when he apologized at LeBron
because he was getting harassed online.
It's just a good clean Cheyenne man play.
Well, LeBron was doing the thing where, you know,
he takes time off every year,
and retrospect is complaining about how he hasn't won MVP.
So all his teammates are like, LeBron's won MVP,
LeBron's won MVP, and he got injured.
So no MVP for him.
What are you gonna do?
You can't vote for him to be MVP.
How many games are you gonna miss?
Right, but I'm sure in like five years,
people will be like, he should have won MVP in 2020.
Sorry, are you concerned that maybe
he's gonna have to go on painkillers
and that'll affect his day-to-day duties
running to Red Sox?
Yeah, you forgot about that.
Maybe I am, I just could be.
He should come out for his next game
with like blood on his sock
from where he got rolled up on,
like Kurt Schilling has no mileage to his favorite team.
Then my cool throw, and I have a couple,
first one is merch, Death Tax is Oral.
The shirt that no one's gonna wear,
but we're gonna put it out there.
We're putting out, it's gonna be,
I think a limited release.
I think we're doing 50 of them.
And that's strictly so that we can't be like,
oh shit, no one's buying this shirt,
because there are 50 of them.
But if they win two more games,
we're dropping it hot to the entire public.
We were talking about it, that shirt is,
someone will buy, a bunch of people will buy it
in the moment, and then when it arrives,
like a few days later, yeah, we're that fast with shipping,
it arrives a few days later, like wait,
I can't wear this anywhere.
Yeah, wait, what do you-
But you'll have it, it's like the bone zone,
when I sold the bone zone shirts.
After Ken Bone's moment.
Could we send a bunch of those to the actual team?
You think they'd wear it?
Probably not, because they are super Christian,
and yeah, they don't make those jokes.
Well, it's not a joke, it's just strictly about,
what's the joke?
Yeah, right.
What's the joke?
Right.
My other cool thing is brackets.
Yeah?
So I put this out a few weeks ago,
I said on Twitter, is Rocks Paper Scissors
shoot a game of skill, or a game of luck?
Wait, weren't you hating on brackets?
Yeah, but then I realized after this week,
like I had so much fun filling out my bracket,
and it was just like, when my bracket got busted,
I was so heartbroken, I was like,
damn, I wish I had a chance to fill out another bracket
that I could track.
And we've done that for you.
We have a Rock Paper Scissors shoot bracket
that's live today, people in the office
are gonna be competing, you guys will be competing.
Wait, we are?
They'll be competing, yes.
Billy.
But Hank's a little puppet master.
Rock Paper Scissors shoot, god, I'm one-o.
You have to win 10 games, so you have to win 10 games.
Yeah, but you see what just happened?
Right.
That was easy.
Right.
But yeah, brackets are back.
I beat him faster than Jose took a dive.
So it's 10 people?
It's 32 people.
What?
32 teams, yeah.
32 team bracket.
And it's gonna go for the next few weeks.
Tongstown Bob should absolutely have an oral Robert shirt.
He's not in the bracket, I'm talking.
That was a, you just got that joke.
What?
Tongstown, I love Tongstown Bob.
He's my guy, he's my burner person.
Can we get him in?
No.
Come on, BFT's right.
Just for the oral Robert shirt.
All right, I'll consider it.
No.
What the fuck?
He could take my spot.
Okay.
All right, perfect, he's in.
All right, is that okay?
Yeah, I too.
Okay, my hot seat is toxic masculinity
because James Winston cried today.
James Winston is not afraid to cry.
He was talking about Drew Brees and how Drew Brees
mentored him and how lucky he was to learn
from Drew Brees all last year.
This is very bad news for the NFC South
because James Winston has learned empathy.
That was the one skill set that was missing in his toolkit.
And he learned it.
See linebackers.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
He's learned to acknowledge that there are other people
that exist in the world, including linebackers.
So now that he's aware of that, look out.
You're all in big trouble.
I like it.
I like seeing some emotion from the leader of the saints now.
Yeah, and they said that it's gonna be an open
quarterback competition.
Yeah, no duh.
You really only have one quarterback on the team.
And you have a gimmick guy who you're gonna pay
$140 million to, not actually, avoided.
My other hot seat is Cody Parky
because the Browns during the draft are having people.
I don't know if it's like technically an open tryout,
but they're having people go down on the field
to kick field goals through the uprights
while the Browns are on the clock.
That's gonna be their thing.
And this is a situation.
If somebody gets down there and just boots the shed
of the ball, you've got all the GMs
that are gonna be watching.
Like this is one of those invincible
marky mark type situations where it'll never happen.
But everybody out there is like, this could be my moment.
And didn't the Bears do this with Cody Parky too
a couple years ago?
Well, yes, the Bears had an open tryout.
Well, no, the Bears did a bunch of different things.
They had 10 guys just after practice
were just kicking from the Cody Parky miss spot.
But there also were some, I think a bar,
I think it was actually Goose Island in Chicago
did a Cody, like a competition for fans
to come out and try to kick field goals.
Yeah, and like nobody hit it.
No one hit it, it was like snowing
and it was, everyone was slipping.
I just love any situation where it could be,
you could not write a script like this moment.
Right.
And that's, this is March.
This is the start of it.
I think I've heard like 12 different announcers say
you could not write a script like this
about every game in the NCAA tournament.
It's like, yeah, we actually could.
Yeah.
But you know what, it's been two years.
So we all have been a little crazy.
My cool throne is being careful what you wish for.
So I've complained numerous times on this podcast
about my elevator always breaking down,
breaks down at least two, three times a month,
live on the fifth floor, not that big a deal.
I can make it up and down fine,
but they just announced that they're gonna replace
the entire elevator, which sounds great,
but it also means I'm not gonna have an elevator
for probably like a week.
Damn.
And so I'm just gonna have to do nothing
but take the steps the entire time.
So if I ever forget anything in my apartment,
I'm not going back up for it.
It stays there until the end of the day.
So just in the future, be careful what you wish for.
It sounds like it's nice.
I would rather have an elevator that sucks
and breaks down twice a month
than have to take the stairs for a week nonstop.
Right.
Right.
You never know when it's gonna break down.
It's like taking the train.
You always remember the days that it's broken down.
Yep.
All right, my hot seat is the NCAA
being just the worst of all time.
Not only, we didn't talk about it,
but the TikTok that went viral
about the women's basketball weight room,
which was like a joke.
I can't even believe.
How does the NCAA think that that was,
they were gonna get away with that?
The only explanation you should make
if you're the NCAA is like,
I didn't realize that basketball players
as a whole lifted weights.
Yeah.
It was bizarre.
If you didn't see it,
it was essentially this huge elaborate weight room
for the men's teams.
And then it was a stack of dumbbells
for the women's tournament.
And they told the women's tournament
that like they didn't have the room,
but it was just the stack of dumbbells
was in a wide open room.
Like a huge like hanger.
You gotta make the room smaller than that.
You have to make the room a closet.
If you have to make the room a closet.
It's gotta be a closet.
Yeah, sorry.
This is a workout equipment closet that we have here.
It was, when you compare and contrast
to what the guys had in Indianapolis.
It was crazy.
It was different, yeah.
And then we also had Ken Palm, who everyone loves.
Ken Palm who's become like everyone quotes Ken Palm now.
He's got a website that he's had forever
that breaks down all the statistics in college basketball.
He went on a little tweet.
It was four tweets,
but basically saying CBS and Turner
have been quoting his stats all tournament
and never giving him credit for it,
which I think is a totally rightful gripe from him.
And I just like what the NCAA has never done anything right.
They can't, they just,
I don't think anything has less of an approval rating.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, you're probably right.
I was gonna say the crystal ball,
but that wasn't even the NCAA.
It's crazy.
Right, it's crazy.
Like this tournament has been great.
It's been great to have the tournament back,
but it also reminds us the NCAA just sucks
at everything, literally everything.
So with Ken Palm, how does his formula work?
Do you think that he stores his formula on one computer?
Do you think he's got like a room
that's just like an old NASA office
where it's just like a hardware door to door?
Because you have to have a backup plan
in case like your hard drive crashes if you're Ken Palm,
right?
Right, and I've actually,
this is a very lame thing for me to admit,
but I have trepidation in the future
of Ken Palm updating his website
and being super, super sad about it.
Because his website, he hasn't updated it in forever,
and it's great, it's simple, it's great,
and I know that at some point he's gonna update it
and it's gonna suck.
He's gonna try to give it like a fancy interface.
It's gonna look all different.
I hope he just stays true to form and never updates it.
But either way, the NCAA sucks.
And then my cool throw in his top shot,
I finally got a pack, I opened it last night,
no big deal, yeah, I got a pack.
I got a, I got a Wendell Carter dunk
in a loss to the Kings in January.
That's good.
It's no Alex Caruso, but it's good.
I got a, oh, I got a Jalen Brown, I think.
I got a Steph Curry, it's pretty cool.
Also, finally opening a pack, I get it.
They play like, you basically go into the club.
They play DJ music and then the beat drops,
then you open your selected cards and it's fucking cool.
It does look like it's got shiny wrapping paper
when they unveil it, it's definitely cool.
I finally understand like, oh, this is actually fun
to like be in the club and just open in packs
and being like, oh, fuck, I got this.
Spider got a Lou Dorton, I lost my mind.
It's exciting.
And on the same day that you got into it,
you know who else got into NFTs?
Who?
Bryson DeShambo.
Oh yeah, I did see that.
Bryson DeShambo dropped, I think,
he's got a whole list of different events
in Bryson DeShambo's career that you can purchase and own.
I'd buy the Fire Ants one.
So yeah, the Fire Ants one,
he's asking for $47,000 for his NFTs of him
like crying because there's an insect in his juice box.
Dude, why don't we have them?
I said, right when we talked about NFTs the first time,
we should make NFTs.
This is definitely going to be something that in like two weeks,
bars will be like, we have them and we don't get anything.
And yeah, well also in like two weeks,
people are going to be like, I'm done with NFTs.
Yeah, true, also true.
Billy, make us an NFT.
I think I can do that.
Yeah, put it on your list.
Okay, perfect.
All right, great.
All right, Billy, your hot seat, cool to run.
My hot seat is Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
But if we want to do stay woke.
Yeah.
My hot seat is Megan.
Let's do it now.
Let's fuck it.
Let's do it right now.
Megan Markle.
No, let's do it right now.
Stay woke.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Explain it.
Look, explain it.
Explain it, Billy.
Explain it.
There was a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch
that was shown to be in spilled cinnamon toast.
There was two.
All right, hang on.
This is the worst.
Pack it up.
Let's try it in English this time.
Okay, so Jensen Carpoose.
Who is a recurring guest on this show.
Yes.
Had a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
He noticed after having a bowl
that there were shrimp tails inside the bag.
And then he went and investigated it more.
It looks like there was rat poop, a string,
and essentially he was like,
what the fuck, General Mills?
And General Mills was like, that's actually just sugar,
which it was very clearly shrimp tails.
And now go ahead, Billy.
So, evidence.
There was two bags.
It was a large bulk box.
What's the evidence?
Don't whatter.
What's your theory?
Well, he shared all this.
He shared all this.
Yeah, okay.
Basically, there was a hole in one of the bags
and the shrimp were found in the first bag.
So two bags with damage, one being the shrimp in one bag,
second being the hole that was taped up
with Scotch tape on the second bag.
The box was never, like, messed with.
It looks like there was some sort of mouse activity.
Rat?
Yeah, mouse.
But I'm not putting this on our friend, Jensen.
No, of course not.
You wouldn't do that.
But maybe Costco.
Just like, I'm a big Cinnamon Toast Crunch fan.
I don't want to see Cinnamon Toast Crunch get canceled.
Right.
So anyway.
I don't think that was ever on the table.
Yeah, you just keep eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Billy.
I will.
100%.
Your body has been around enough wildlife fecal matter.
I'm sure a couple of rat turds wouldn't harm you.
Statistically, you're more less likely to have shrimp
in your next box.
That's right.
That's what I was thinking.
That's right.
Why disagree?
No, it's like once in a blue moon.
No, but it was zero.
Like, we never even thought this was possible until today.
But it's like saying the safest time to fly
is right after a plane crash,
because everybody's super safe about it.
Yeah, I don't think that's true.
It's actually not.
It's actually right.
If you read Freakonomics, the exact opposite is true.
Right.
So you're exact opposite of what you think is true is false.
Ignorance is bliss.
I still believe what I believe.
I believe in that, too.
I'm a little woke on it.
It's actually going to be very funny for the
cinnamon toast crunch, like social media person
in their next meeting that they have to give
to explain why they trended twice in a week.
And the first time was because UVA lost to Ohio
and Chris Long, to get the stink off of the loss,
asked people what their favorite cereals were,
and everybody said cinnamon toast crunch.
And then the second time they trend
is because there's a crustacean infestation in their bags.
This could be a case of, I don't know,
maybe a rival cereal company.
Seeing that cinnamon toast crunch
was getting all that shine last week.
They go into a Costco in the dead of night
with a box cutter and some tape and a couple shrimp tails.
And they just try to get the story out there
to change the narrative, take a window
and the other chefs down a few pegs.
I think that, so it was clear,
like I don't blame General Mills
because I do think that it happened in Costco
or wherever, there was probably a rat.
The problem with General Mills and cinnamon toast crunch
is their initial response was so bad.
When they were gaslighting.
Yeah, they were like, that's not,
those aren't shrimp tails, that's just cinnamon
that's extra cinnamon-y.
There's precedent that other cinnamon formations
have been found.
Yeah, that looks like, that are actually
so resembling shrimp tails that they literally are shrimp tails.
Well, I think that it was such a known response
by the company that they found them before,
that that was their automatic response.
They didn't look too much into it.
It was like, okay, anytime anyone complains
about weird shaped brown things in their bag,
like it's just cinnamon.
Yeah, well, what they should do is they should,
if they're going to lean into it,
just like invent cinnamon toast shrimp tails.
Just be like two shrimp tails in every bite,
like it's Kellogg's Raisin Brown, two scoops,
two shrimps in every box.
This is what they said,
after further investigation with our team
that closely examined the image,
it appears to be an accumulation of the cinnamon sugar
that sometimes can occur
when ingredients aren't thoroughly blended.
We assure you there's no possibility
of cross-contamination with shrimp.
Those are shrimp tails.
The thing is, those boxes are made by machines.
Yeah, Billy's a big corporation stand.
No, I saw how it's made.
I know, what was the text that you sent
that they test everything for allergens?
They don't even let shellfish into those facilities.
What if the shellfish just decided to go in?
They wouldn't be allowed.
Then what if they have someone at the door being like,
oh, you're clearly a shrimp.
You're not allowed.
Like I think their lunches have to be the workers
and the product.
They look inside their lunchboxes every day?
I think they have...
You'll think anyone has ever smuggled a little shrimp scampi
into the General Mills facility.
I do not think that's ever happened.
What if there's a Long John Silver's next door
and somebody goes there for lunch
and they bring back a couple of shrimp in their pockets?
Yeah, what if...
Oh, guess what?
You know what it is right now.
Isn't it lent?
So people aren't eating meat on Fridays.
They're eating fish.
Very good point.
Yeah.
So I think that there's a chance it could have happened there.
There's definitely...
If you get two shrimp tails in a box of cinnamon toast crunch...
Wait, wait, Billy, the bags that you were talking about,
the one that had the shrimp in it, that was not...
Not the one with the hole that was taped up.
And also the box was intact.
Either way...
Sounds like sabotage to me.
All they had to do, like every social media trend,
all they had to do is have one person who's smart in the room
be like, hey, we should probably respond like,
hey, that's fucked up.
Our bad.
We'll figure it out.
Instead of, hey, that's not shrimp.
That's just sugar.
But we'll send you a free box and it was...
If I find...
And a $50 gift card to the Barstool Sports Club.
Really?
At the end of the day, I just feel bad for...
You feel bad for General Mills.
The guy who posted it.
No, let's get real.
You feel bad that Cinnamon Toast crunch.
You feel bad for General Mills.
No, I don't feel bad for General Mills.
I feel bad for the person whose job is to respond to those tweets
who's definitely going to get fired
and probably the product inspection manager at the factory
that's going to get fired.
And all because, you know...
It became a big Twitter thing where people were calling
for the person on social media to get fired.
Like, that's going to fix the shrimp issue that they have.
And I'm sympathetic to people who misuse social media.
All right.
What's your hot seat cool drum?
My cool throne is Jake for just having awesome March Madness coverage.
Whoa, Billy!
Yeah, no.
I've been fought like...
He's been my go-to source for March Madness.
He's done an amazing job.
I cannot...
Like, you gotta...
What's the...
What's the...
Thank you, Billy.
What's the catch here?
Yeah, what's going on here?
Yeah, what's the catch?
No, I seriously just was like...
Dude, he's doing awesome.
Hey, Billy.
Come on.
Hey, look at me.
No, I'm serious.
I'm the guy.
We don't give compliments.
Come on.
What's going on?
It's positive vibes.
We're a team.
You gotta keep the energy up.
I don't trust him.
I don't trust him.
He's doing something.
It sounds like Billy needs to cheat off Jake on a test later on today.
No.
He's gassing them up.
What's going on, Billy?
I've done this before.
No, I'm seriously going to give Crier where Creads do.
As a competitor.
Thank you.
I still feel like something's up.
Yeah, no.
But thank you.
Thank you, right?
You're doing something, dude.
I'm not.
This isn't right.
Or maybe I just didn't have a cool throne.
Yeah, it could be.
Yeah.
He did get a blue check, Mark.
Shout out to Jake for getting a blue check.
Sell out.
Yeah, way to go.
Jake, do you have a hot seat cool throne?
Hot seat is tables because in every game,
there's a table that just went crashing.
A player crashing to a table, hard drive.
It's like the Spanish announcer table in WWE.
It's just always goes, those fucking guys always have the worst luck.
It's next to Jake this weekend.
It was every couple hours.
He'd be like, oh no, another laptop.
Yeah, it's like worst nightmare.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
I once caught a ball when I was calling a game.
It was an apparent pass and I just caught it.
Shoot it.
Tell us more.
That was it.
Did you do the thing where you pretended to shoot like Carmelo?
No, I was on the air.
I was just like, and he dribbles it and he throws it to me.
You said that?
Yeah.
I caught the ball.
Can we get a club?
I got it.
It's gonna take a lot of digging.
It was just from a regular season game and like
12-8 in the first half.
Sounds like you know exactly.
Yeah.
No, I don't know exactly.
You pinpoly did lose the game between.
I don't remember.
No.
It was Vermont at home game.
I don't know.
It was a home game.
I don't remember.
I'll try.
I'll do my best.
He knows exactly.
No, I wish I obviously will find it if I can and publish it.
Okay.
Perfect NFT.
Yes.
Jake, catch the ball.
Well, it's not, I don't think there's video.
No, there's not video.
So it's a, is it still an NFT?
Is it audio NFT?
It's just audio.
Yeah, we see an audio NFT.
There's definitely video somewhere though.
You tell me that you guys didn't-
No, it was an ESPN3 game.
So you could probably see the back of my head or something.
Yeah.
We gotta find this.
It'll take a while, but yeah.
I hope it went exactly how you're saying it went.
Because that's very cool of you.
Yeah.
I mean, I definitely caught it.
But did you say, and he passes it to me?
I'm pretty sure.
Yeah.
That's cool.
We'll see.
Very cool.
We'll see.
And then Cool Throne, I have two.
Krispy Kreme donuts.
They're giving out free for a year if you get the Vax.
And then-
Well, you guys not see Jason Whitlock?
The only thing you need to do to beat coronavirus is
healthy eating, eating green and what was it, prayers?
Something about green juice.
Does he know he's fat?
No.
Honestly, no.
Going off of his hats, I don't think that he does.
Did you imagine if I tweeted out to everyone like,
hey guys, just a heads up, the best way to live long is to eat well and no vices?
Yeah.
And everyone's like, wait, what?
Have a little self-awareness.
Yeah.
I do like Krispy Kreme giving you donuts for getting a shot.
Like that's a fair trade for you.
Yes, absolutely.
Like you can poke me like whatever shot.
I don't care what Krispy Kreme is.
Is that good?
Where you could put anything that you want into my arm if I get a donut afterwards.
Is it unlimited?
I think one a day, I read.
You get one a day?
That seems like you're robbing Peter to pay Paul a little bit there.
Wait.
Where you're like, I'm going to give this guy a donut.
Eating, for me, I feel like eating a Krispy Kreme donut every day for a year.
Krispy Kreme will give you a donut every day this year if you've been vaccinated.
Yeah.
What if you get multiple?
Like what if I got like vaccinated 20 times?
Would I get it for 20 years?
The Moderna and Pfizer in three for a day?
Yeah.
No, I'm actually asking though.
Is there, what's the fine print here?
I could find it.
Is anyone close to getting back to you?
A fine print is, I don't think they have Krispy Kreme in New York.
You got to be close to us.
They do.
There's one right down here.
Is that a station?
Yeah.
Fuck yeah.
Let's go.
What'd you say?
That's it.
You've got to be the closest, right?
What's your BMI?
Yeah, he's old.
No, because I had it.
Dude, can't get it for 90 days.
I think it's under 50 or 50 and over now.
50 and over?
50.
50 and over.
Yeah.
Okay.
So Dave's getting close.
That was mean.
It's okay.
It was mean.
It's fine.
You're the oldest.
You know what?
I'm just going to largest.
It's true.
That's not mean.
That's just going to eat, pray, and hope that I'm okay.
Chase and Whitlock life.
And then my other cool throne.
He should start a diet, the Whitlock diet.
Because he also said like I was in Nashville
and I was eating too much chicken.
Hot chicken.
Yeah.
He was like the hot chicken.
Like I agree, dude.
And the breakfast waffle.
It's so good.
Yeah.
I would be Whitlock-esque if I lived there.
Other cool throne is women's college basketball
because I tweeted that we still have the CBI today
and everyone's like,
wait, what about women's college basketball?
So they deserve the credit.
Are you canceled?
No.
I should have included it.
So I'm including it on the podcast.
Bigger platform than Twitter.
So that's my positive spin.
Sounds like a backup apology there.
I think Jake should have.
You should have to call a preseason baseball game
in Puerto Rico.
You David Dobrik.
Thanks for the refs.
You like that reference?
I was sick for that.
We've got all four number one seasons in action tonight.
NC State, South Carolina, UConn, UpsetAlert
against Syracuse and then Stanford.
Are you putting them on UpsetAlert?
Yep.
Does Syracuse women play the zone?
I don't think so.
OK, then I'm going with UConn.
Yeah.
All right.
Give me the Huskies.
Coach Q, though.
He's great.
Yep.
Sure.
Coach Q.
Quinton Hillsman.
Got it.
OK.
Let's get to our interview with Walker-Flocker-Flocker.
Are you worried because I did mention David Dobrik?
He is canceled, Billy.
I know he's a hero here.
No, he's getting deported.
What?
I don't want his ass deported.
He's not a U.S. citizen.
I don't want him to be deported.
Where is he?
Wait, you want to deport all non-U.S. citizens?
Slovakia.
You got that guy.
Send him back.
Dude, there's nothing like the second apology.
The second apology never works.
I mean, like, hey, I already gave a shot at this.
Here's your role.
Yeah, second one.
Second time, you got to bust out the notes out.
He did the first apology on his third YouTube channel
with, like, the smallest amount of subscribers.
Then all of his sponsors got taken away,
and then he came back with the second apology
on his main YouTube channel saying all the things
that people got mad at him for not saying in the first.
What is he apologizing for?
Awesome, really bad shit.
Yeah, yeah.
A lot.
A lot of bad shit.
Stuff that you probably, that an apology won't fix.
Nope.
No.
Probably not.
Probably not.
All right, let's get to our interview.
Walk-a-Flock-a-Flame, before we do that,
we got a quick word from our friends.
Wait, he is Slovakian.
I was right.
Yeah.
That's why you were laughing.
Yeah, because it's funny.
All right, like, the four of them.
But Billy said Canada.
I thought he was.
Send him to Canada first.
Make him stop off at Canada.
Make him live in Quebec for you.
Don't give him a direct flight.
Yeah.
That's what we're saying.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, before we get to Walk-a-Flock-a-Flame,

And now here's Walk-a-Flock-a-Flame.
All right, we now welcome on a very special guest.
It is rapper, entrepreneur, NBA scout, maybe.
Walk-a-Flock-a-Flame.
He's got a new show out March 18th on WeTV.
Walk-a and Tammy, What the Flock-a.
Your reality television star now too.
I should have said that.
Hey, what do you know?
2021, I'm a TV star now.
Yeah, so what are we going to see on this show?
You go see a 34-year-old dad.
Okay, fun.
You go see, now, honestly, mate, this episode is more so
about being a parent in 2021.
Being a young girl.
She was tougher.
Yes, with all those jobs that Big Cat just mentioned,
what's your favorite job that you have?
My favorite job right now?
I feel like I'm the connector right now.
Connector.
Okay, you failed the question, by the way,
because you should have said being a dad.
That was typical.
I like connectors.
That was typical.
When you get on my face.
Yeah.
I do see a question, man.
My favorite job is being a home.
Explain connector.
Give us that, because I actually think
that there are certain people in life
that it's a skill that they don't even realize.
People don't acknowledge it.
The guy who just everyone wants to be around,
who knows people, who connects people,
that's an important job.
Yeah, so with me, right?
Like, I met a guy.
He had a, they was past their first C round, right?
They raised like a little bit under $2 million.
So they was going into their second round of funding.
I think they wanted like $5 million.
And I was so happy to just know some PE guys.
So I'm like, $5 million, let me see that deal.
I basically worked out a consulting agreement
and ended up getting this guy like $7.5 million.
And then I ended up getting equity in that deal.
And that was not even a week worth of phone calls.
Right.
That's good.
And so that's your range off.
Yeah.
A rainmaker.
Yeah, exactly.
You're a kingmaker.
You crown people.
So what's your ultimate goal?
Like, you've got all these businesses going.
You're facilitator.
You're making connections.
Are you trying to, like, are you trying to buy the Knicks
down the line?
What's the end goal for you?
I don't want to be that out of shape team owner.
No, my end goal, not just joking.
My team, my end goal is to have a family office
because honestly, I do want to buy sports team.
That's the, I'm, I'm, I just won the NBA team.
Okay.
I couldn't play in the league.
So I want to own me a team in the league.
I think you could play in the league.
You, I've seen your game.
How tall are you?
I'm 6'6, 6'5 now.
Okay.
I'll give you the half.
Why not give it a shot?
I mean, you could be like a glue guy at the end of the bench.
You know, there's this guy on the right side of my leg
called Maniscus.
He has blown his cover once.
You know what I'm saying?
This Maniscus ain't going to let me do it, man.
Yeah.
What about you versus Master P in his prime?
Because I know he tried, he tried out, like,
five years in a row, didn't he?
Man, tell Master P, come on.
I'll take him down right now.
Are you, are you retired from rapping?
I know you've gone back and forth.
Are you retired right now?
Are you active now?
You know, you know, rappers say they retire
similar to wrestlers.
You know, we end up coming right back on a Thursday night
smackdown in the summer or Monday raw.
Yes.
I guess for me, man, I think in entertainment business,
you got to learn how to take off.
You know, man, you got to give yourself a year or maybe three
just to, just to enjoy what God gave you.
You know?
So that's why I'm at.
And it's smart, too.
If you keep retiring, then every tour that you go on
is the comeback tour and people are like, oh,
shit, this might be the last time I get to see walk alive.
Kiss did that for like 30 years, I think every tour was
their farewell tour.
It's a great way to make money.
You make yourself scarce and smart.
Well, I ain't doing it for money.
I just, I really needed to fucking relax.
Yeah.
That too.
So when you're, when you're filming reality TV,
does that feel like work for you?
Because the I've seen, I've been around some reality
television being produced.
And the worst part to me is like,
they don't let people watch television while they're,
while they're taping because it's boring to watch
people who are watching TV.
They like make you turn your TV off.
Do you feel like you're working when you got all the
cameras around you?
Imagine why I could fuck a living like that.
I do what I want to do.
Yeah.
Fuck it.
It's a party.
Yeah.
Anything I do, anything I do go have any kind of
excitement with it.
So I'm not going to be like these, these boring ass people
shooting TV shows.
Like, I think I'm over that part, you know?
And for somebody to me, I can't watch TV.
That's like, what the hell are you talking about?
I got a 16 year old daughter.
It's reality TV.
If you, if you, if you want something scripted,
then I do a scripted show.
I'm all in, man.
If I feel like firing, I'm going to do it on camera.
Have you, have you done that?
Definitely.
Did it make the cut?
It should have.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
I mentioned that you're an NBA scout.
You had a tweet Tobias Harris, the next LeBron James.
Now he didn't turn out to be LeBron James,
but I'm going to give you credit because you tweeted that
when Tobias Harris was in high school.
So you're pretty damn, you're pretty damn good eye
for a guy who's been a good NBA player.
Do you think that a team should hire you as a scout?
Definitely.
I actually, I actually was going back and forth with Tobias Harris.
For me, he's in high school.
A couple of these guys, like I've been hitting,
knowing they was in high school.
But I'll be seeing, I think, for Tobias Harris, man,
to be that ultimate player, you got to have a team
that want to push you to be ultimate.
And I think he, even speaking on him,
he actually, he put up a real good goddamn fight.
And now he gains his credit and his respect.
And now you're seeing the team fairly pushing
towards who he's supposed to be.
And you start to see those results.
Yeah.
Who do you have your eye on right now?
Do you have any, like high schoolers or college players
that you're like, this guy's going to be the real deal?
Yeah, it's a couple of them.
It's, dang, what's this kid name, man?
He's, I want to say he's from Louisiana.
I swear, this kid played football in basketball.
He, I, I, I, I cannot think of his name.
I literally been trying to think for the whole time I was talking.
He literally jumps out the gym, like fucking Vince Carter,
excuse my language.
No, you can swear.
He's athletic.
He is super athletic.
Like he's unstoppable.
He just dropped like 49 to 59 points in a game.
And is he in high school right now or is he in college?
Yeah, he's in high school.
He ranked, he ranked in Louisiana.
All right, we got to find this guy.
What about, what about college players right now?
Do you have any, do you have any NCAA tournament takes for us?
I'm actually kind of like in the air this year.
I'm in the air this year.
Yeah, I'm a dog fan.
So I'm always going to go for the dogs regardless.
Okay.
When we draw.
But I'm in the air this year.
I'll be honest.
I've been so stuck on like high school basketball
because for some odd reason,
high school basketball is entertaining and shit.
Them kids is balling.
Do you go to the AAU tournaments
or do you like watching the actual high school teams?
No, I literally just watch everything on the internet.
Okay.
I'm fucking that.
I'm actually going to like my followers
because I know I followed little brother.
And I'm gonna, I'm gonna find this guy
and make sure I send you.
Yeah.
I want his name because you are,
you have the eye obviously.
That's got to be an all time feeling
if you're a high school basketball player
and you get that follow notification
from walk a flock of flame.
Yeah.
But I brought, yeah.
I DM him.
I definitely DM him and just say,
yeah, bro, keep going.
You will be a superstar.
Like I don't be trying to DM them
and trying to sign them or nothing.
Like I actually be like just sending them motivation.
Like, bro, you actually are great.
Yeah.
Like if Chris D'Lea was nice,
that's, that's what you're doing.
If he's a positive person,
trying to spread joy.
Yes.
Yeah.
The real, maybe so damn good.
Yeah.
If you want to see him do something great again.
No.
And honestly, you got to imagine
like if you're a high school kid
and you get the follow from walk a flock of flame
and he DMs you and he's like,
hey man, I believe in you.
I believe you can accomplish something great
with your life.
That probably makes their year.
That they probably are in the gym
later that day working on their game
because you know what?
I don't want to let walk a flock of flame down.
Wow.
I hope that's,
I hope that you take them and motivate them.
I agree.
Are you going to run for president again?
You ran for president in 2016.
Didn't win.
Are you thinking about running again?
Strong possibility.
Okay.
Do you want to announce it right now on this podcast
that you are going to be running for president?
No time soon.
I'm a little too young, but strong possibility.
You, I mean, you, you're a little too young,
but you ran for president four years ago.
Yeah.
And he denied me, man.
I had a lot of fun.
Yeah.
But this is the first election
where you'd be old enough, right?
Yeah.
Possibly if I, if I run against Trump.
Yeah.
So if Trump runs in 2024, you're going to run against them.
No, I don't, not, not, not, not, not in my mind frame
that I'm in today.
No, I need a little more.
I just need to get a little more smarter.
I'll do it after.
Yeah.
I don't know, man.
I'm in this like something.
You know, you like one foot in, one foot out.
Yeah.
President's one of those jobs you should probably be like,
I want to be, I want to be president.
You should know that for a fact.
What would you do?
Like, is there something that's,
that's on your mind where you're like,
this is why I want to be president if I run?
Definitely.
Definitely.
If I become president, it's, it's,
it's going to be a immediate change.
But I'm talking about like a strong change.
Like, I'm going to start with food.
I'm going to make sure like, just like any kind of like
food that I know draw any kind of health conditions.
I'm like, I'm just literally going to abominator.
We, that's like, I'm not going to ask,
I'm not going to ask for laws.
I'm not going to ask for nothing.
I'm literally going to just abominator.
Like, I'll leave you with one of them around
because people don't understand
how powerful the intake of food you put in your body
and the results of what it do to your mind
and the way it chemically unbalance you.
It can alter your ideas, your feelings,
your emotional state, your physical, you know,
and this world is so built on how you look.
I rather people learn how to eat the food
that makes them feel free.
So I will start there.
I'll just, I'll go more green, man.
I think, I think we got so used to substituting
that we forgot like who we were, who we are.
I think the world's so pushed on creating who you want to be
instead of loving who you are.
I like that.
But I, I have a problem with the food thing
because are you still vegan?
Honestly, I'm a flex criterion.
Okay.
I created that.
Explain that to it.
Yeah.
So I'm, I'm a conscious flex criterion.
Meaning I'm conscious enough to know
with everything that I eat, where it's from the,
if it is any chemicals in it, where it was processed,
et cetera, et cetera.
But I'm a flex criterion because I flex diets.
So I might eat plant based for two months.
What they call vegan.
I might eat that for a month.
Then I might want me a little lamb chop, you know.
But in the middle of all that, I always have a colon cleanse.
I have a concoction of herbs that clean my, my colon
and just like slush me all up.
You know what I'm saying?
Wake up, little stretch, a little drop.
Is there like a certain feeling you have in the morning
where it's like, yep, I'm going to need that colon cleanse today?
Or do you have it scheduled out?
No, actually not jerky.
I got a powder form.
It's a powder form actually.
They call it a stool cleaner at that.
So I take this and I take a heap of tablespoon,
drop it in 20 ounce water, shake it up, drink it at night.
And I'm letting you know right now it's going to wake you up.
It's going literally, it might be five in the morning,
six in the morning, eight in the morning.
But I'm letting you know when you use a bathroom
anywhere between three, if not two to five,
two to like five times before one o'clock.
It's like wear sweatpants to bed night.
You know, you have to be prepared going into that night
that things could get a little messy.
You might.
Yeah, it's a possibility.
You might want to throw a manpamp on, but you know,
what's your favorite mixtape cover?
My favorite mixtape cover.
You have some great ones.
You have some all time great ones.
Luke Skywalker is pretty damn good.
You know, cover I used to like, man.
Red man.
Red man had, he had this like, kind of like holographic,
kind of like red seating.
I used to think that she was so jeans when I seen that CD.
Like Death Jam, to me, Death Jam made the best album covers
back in the day.
Like Death Jam was just.
You like Death Jam more than no limit?
Definitely.
And, and it's, it is, everyone does judge a book by their cover.
Like I know that's the saying, don't judge a book by its cover,
but everyone judges books by its cover.
So I agree with you, the better the cover.
What's your favorite personal that you released mixtape?
It got to be with LeBron flock of James.
Okay.
That one's pretty sick crossover.
Yeah.
Because it was funny as hell.
Cause literally all we did was get LeBron James body.
That was sitting like with his hands on his side
and just cut his head off and put my head on top of it.
That's what I thought that she was the funniest cover
in the world.
That is, that's an awesome cover.
Yeah.
You're like looking kind of up into the side a little bit.
Yeah.
That's really good.
It was like a trend, man.
We were just starting to come in basketball plays
like LeBron flock of James, the flock of right.
Like all my favorite players like,
I would never have made R and the P if it wasn't LeBron James.
The, the NCAA football cover one too is awesome.
Oh, yes.
Fire.
That one's so.
That's fire.
You should do when Matthew Del, flock of Adova.
Clock of Adola?
Yeah.
What picture though?
Deli, when he's hitting that guy in the nuts,
there's getting a charge.
Yeah.
He's, yeah, he's taking a hard charge.
I got to see that picture.
Executing a great.
My name is CD Paul.
Yeah.
Are you, are you technically a doctor, by the way?
Oh yeah.
I graduated with my PhD in the military.
I was in the military last year.
There it is.
The end of life.
How, how do you not go by doctor?
Dr. James.
Yes.
So you do go by doctor?
Yes.
Beautiful.
I would only introduce myself as doctor.
I'm sorry for introducing you not as a doctor.
It's okay.
You know, part in my take.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Did you, did you actually give a job rolling blunts
to Seth Rogen?
Yeah.
Seth, man, he had definitely hired Seth, and Seth was shooting
damn movies.
I, he, I had to wait it out for like a month after this,
after him getting hired.
And then that forced me to go and have to literally go for job interviews.
I probably did like 300, 400 job interviews.
Yeah.
What's, what celebrity rolls the tightest blunt?
What celebrity rolls the tightest blunt?
Yeah.
Nowadays, nobody.
They all have their guy.
Fuck no.
Everybody roll big, loose, finger-sized blunts.
Like, it's just sloppy.
The blunts today is sloppy, man.
It's a lost start.
Do you, do you think that weed has gotten too good?
Because I've, I feel like in the last five years, every now and again,
I just miss mids.
I miss being able to smoke something and understand where I am
and have like a functional evening.
Well, that's called a drug, you know?
I never had that feeling.
So, slow down, buddy.
Slow down at the THC level.
Bring it down.
Now, you know what, it's just got so much attention.
Like, the shit got, it's just, it's, it's weird.
Because I was telling my grandma that, like, I'm like,
grandma, you probably used to tell me about my rifa.
I'm like, grandma, the rifa is legal now.
I said, no, it's not.
God don't want you smoking that.
I'm like, grandma, it's legal.
God made it legal, grandma.
Like, I love it though.
To me, weed is always, flour, cannabis, weed,
whoever you want to name it, it's always going to be what it is.
For me, I just don't want to smoke.
I don't want to smoke nothing that's going to make me have
an out of body experience or smoke the strongest pack.
So now I'm cool.
Yeah.
I just, you know, stereotyped it.
I agree.
You're a huge MLS fan.
You're a huge Atlanta FC fan, right?
How many games have you been to?
Every home game.
Do you think it kind of ruins it though?
They play on the fake turf?
Hell no.
I mean, it's meant to be played on grass, don't you think?
That's grass.
No, it's not.
But it's way safer for the players.
When, who would you rather have, if you could rank your titles,
like the Atlanta winning, the title,
was that one of the best days of your life?
Atlanta United, man.
When I tell y'all.
Oh, it's Atlanta United, my bad.
I thought it was Atlanta FC, sorry.
Yeah, you know, haters, haters don't hate, you know.
Sometimes you have to participate.
But for me, I never in my life have lived drunk.
That many business ain't that many hot dogs.
I've never been nowhere where I could take kids,
adults, friends, colleagues, everybody, everybody had a good time.
Well, it's nice because you can actually eat Chick-fil-A in that stadium
because they don't play all their games on Sundays.
So if you just go to Falcons games,
you just have to walk past the Chick-fil-A and that sucks.
Soccer games are fun because it's exactly two hours.
You don't have to worry about like a four hour game.
I got a fun Chick-fil-A fact.
Okay, hit me.
Did y'all know Chick-fil-A got Hawaiian fish tacos?
No, what?
What?
Hey, man, I'm from where they invented Chick-fil-A.
They got this little dwarf house in Riverdale, Georgia.
Bro, it literally sounds like it's the best.
Wait, are you telling me I can walk to a Chick-fil-A
and order a Hawaiian fish taco?
No, the dwarf house.
You got to find a dwarf house.
Chick-fil-A dwarf house.
See, real Chick-fil-A advocates notice.
It's only Zach's Bees and Chick-fil-A while eating chicken.
It looks like a magical place.
I'm looking at it right now.
It's so little.
You can go to the dwarf door and all that.
Yeah, it's perfect for me.
Holy shit.
It's, is there only one of them?
That's the only one I know.
I never seen another one.
That place has Hawaiian fish tacos?
Yes, sir.
It's like a little secret little.
That sounds amazing.
Well, not anymore.
We have, we have an intern here
and we told him that we were going to be interviewing you.
He's a big football player.
He played football throughout high school.
Basically just lives in locker rooms and various locker rooms.
And he says that you write the best locker room pump up songs.
Is that something that like goes through your head
when you're listening to a song?
Like this is going to sound sick in an under armor commercial.
No, I definitely make stuff for people
to just punch the fucking wall.
So I definitely want them to be real,
real highly, highly goddamn intense.
I don't know, man.
I'm gonna be honest.
I know I'm making for it.
It's like a good management for me when I make music.
It's therapeutic.
That's what it is.
I got to recognize mother put out.
That's definitely going to be therapeutic.
It's called drag swinging.
What's it called?
Sorry.
Dread swinging.
Hey, baby.
I like that a lot.
We work with sunny digital a lot.
So when you know when we're down in Atlanta.
Yeah, we've done two tracks with them.
Both were pretty successful.
You probably heard them.
Or what digital?
Yeah, you done too.
We've been in a studio.
They'll soon.
Sonny has the vibe.
That's the vibe that we came up.
The vibe is in the studio is literally the vibe
that of my ever coming up.
It was awesome.
We got to sit in his studio.
The first time we rented a different studio
because he was still building his studio.
The second time we got to go to his studio
and hung out for like an entire night.
It was awesome.
He had a little kickback.
Yeah.
Yeah, we have two tracks with him.
It's not a brag.
It's a fact.
Oh, I'm gonna call them.
I got to hear that.
Next time we're in Atlanta, we should probably call them.
Yeah.
I got to hear that.
I definitely got to hear that.
Who's your, what's your favorite cartoon?
Dragon Ball Z.
Oh, are you a SpongeBob guy?
You mentioned SpongeBob before we started recording.
Yes.
SpongeBob was like my, that was my munchies,
my munchie, my munchie cartoon.
What, wait, do you, how old are your kids?
My daughter, 15.
Okay.
Do you have any, you don't have any little kids now?
No, I definitely got a lot of little nieces and stuff.
You should watch Bluey.
That's the new cartoon.
Oh.
Do you watch that?
Hell no.
What?
Hell no.
Why?
No, I'm good.
Why?
Over Bluey.
You've watched Bluey?
Bluey has put Baby Shark to the next level.
No.
Which Bluey?
It's an Australian cattle dog family.
It's fucking hilarious.
Oh, hell yeah.
Like Blue Healers.
Yeah, they're so funny.
I like that.
It's a very funny cartoon.
I watch it with my son.
It's very funny.
Dude, that's how it happens.
See what I'm saying?
Every grown man still had a little kid in them.
Yeah.
And that's the problem.
When we get a little kid, we're stuck in their life.
We start playing Minecraft and shit, but no.
I don't like the slender on Bluey.
I think Bluey is fucking hilarious.
Uh, you've got probably the-
You're right.
You're right.
You're all right, though.
You just watched it too much.
Is that what happened?
You over-blued yourself?
My niece loved it.
Yeah.
My niece screamed.
She loves Bluey.
You blew yourself out.
Uh-huh.
Definitely.
She liked all the-
She's YouTubeed out.
She's literally YouTubeed.
The kids is YouTubeed out.
Like they-
You'll find yourself doing challenges.
Like, as a dad, do you have to watch
what your kids are watching on YouTube?
Oh, definitely.
I got, uh, no.
I got a couple of programs that I gotta
shut things down on a computer and all ourselves.
I got some good friends, man.
They gave me some personal apps
so I could center everything they use.
And, you know, Apple has this feature on here
to when kids-
You can actually, uh, when kids go to certain sites
and certain apps, you could-
They'll have to call you or get a password to get in it.
Or you could shut-
You could shut all apps used down at a certain time.
Uh-huh.
So that's-
That's the way that I, uh, watch that.
Because you could never watch every damn cartoon.
They would have real dope conversations in a cartoon.
Yeah.
Did you have to reach a point where you, uh,
you had a conversation with your kids
about, like, listening to dad's music
and, like, what these songs meant
and what dad meant when he was saying this?
Have you had to do any of that?
Definitely.
Yeah.
My daughter asked me about wanting real twerk records.
She's like, dad, what are you talking about?
I'm like, stop being funny.
She said, no, for real.
I want to know, like, was you trying to tell them to clap what?
I'm like-
Oh, God, it's so much.
Um, you remember the video when you,
you thought the sign language interpreter was dancing?
That was one of my favorites.
That's all I have.
It's not really a question.
That was awesome.
Guilty.
I mean, that was a great video.
That was just, you just saw someone feel in the vibe
and you're like, all right, let's go.
Let's go.
Let's do it.
That's what you want to do.
You made it right here.
Let's go do it.
Yeah.
Whole time, the first six or 10 roles
was people that was deaf, basically, and they was lit.
Like, I didn't even know no one was there.
I'm like, how?
Y'all literally lit.
They made me take that whole day and just chill
and understand that community and just like,
you know, I actually want to be like,
I want to hang with y'all.
Man, it was fun as a, I learned a lot about that.
So I'm literally a lot behind that video.
I learned a lot.
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
It's like a lot.
That's very cool.
I got to watch that video.
I've heard that people that are hard of hearing
or if they're deaf, like totally,
they can still feel the vibrations from the music
and they combine that with like the visual effects
and the sign language person
and they have a kick-ass time at concerts.
They probably have a better time than I do.
Definitely.
I'm talking, man, only for you.
Like nine times out of ten every festival,
the first couple of rows is full of like kids
that actually came here.
And they lit.
And some adults, we lit.
I'm just super, super tempted.
Like I, now I know that I'm like,
no wonder my front rows be so lit.
I love it.
I love that.
We should market this podcast to deaf people.
Yeah.
I feel like deaf people would really like
the sound of my voice.
Yeah.
I don't know.
The voices are pretty creepy.
Do you have any questions for us?
Who's going to win the NBA title this year?
I was about to ask y'all that.
You were going to ask us that?
No way.
I feel like I know who's going to win it.
Okay.
I think Steph Curry on the West won't take it.
No.
Yes.
No.
That's a spicy take.
I don't know.
Are they going to even make the playoffs?
But no, no, no, Steph Curry,
definitely not going to win it.
LeBron go taking my underdogs and Steph Curry.
They ease this challenge.
Because I don't know, man, because you got,
you have, you have the Nets, obviously.
Then you have Milwaukee.
Then you have the Celtics.
Then you have Philly.
It's Toronto, West to East.
East.
East.
I think the Nets are going to win it in the East.
You think the Nets?
Yeah.
They just signed, they just got our guy Blake Griffin.
So that will be the final piece.
But he's not playing though.
Ain't Blake injured?
No, he's good.
Did I just break the news to you?
Play his way back in his shape.
No, no, no, no, no.
Blake, Blake, not dunking, I used to,
that's the clip I seen.
Okay.
Yeah.
No, he's, he's going to play.
He's not injured.
He, he just played in Detroit for a while.
To me, it's, it's out of Philly Celtics and, uh, in the Nets.
Yeah.
I mean, I agree.
The Celtics are running you up and down the court.
Yeah.
They've struggled a little this year,
but yeah, it seems like they're figuring it out.
Are you, uh, did you grow up a Nix fan?
Definitely.
So is this year, are you like, are you excited?
This is our year.
This is the year that we might, uh, win a playoff series, maybe.
It's, it's a possibility, but I was mad at the Nix ever since
Patrick Ewan did a finger roll.
Yeah.
That finger roll crushed me, man.
That was tough.
You're, you're seven feet tall.
Go hard at the rim.
I was a Nix fan back when LJ was just like,
you know, Nix was crazy, man.
Nix was, especially John Starks.
John Starks was the one, God.
Mm hmm.
Uh, I said my best Nix player though was Marcus Gammie.
His whole demeanor and I played with everything.
Okay.

We appreciate you coming on.
Everyone go watch the new show coming out March 18th on WeTV.
I'm, I'm, I'm locking in on part of my take.
Now I see the faces behind the voices,
because y'all be saying some funny shit, man.
Thank you, man.
Stupid shit.
Yeah.
Very stupid.
Bad, bad takes.
Bad takes.
What's your favorite moment in part of my take history?
What's my, your favorite moment?
No, what's your favorite moment?
I know you're a longtime listener of the show
and you're, you're excited to see us for the first time.
What's your favorite moment going back for you?
You know, you know, my favorite moments are about y'all in general.
Y'all perception of situations.
The way y'all, y'all just like, y'all take, y'all take a subject.
Yeah.
They don't got shit through a basketball and make it a part of basketball.
Make it a part of football.
That's true.
That's a good answer.
You're such a good bullsitter.
You are a good connector.
I thought you were going to say Sonny digital.
The tracks we did with him.
Yeah.
That's what I meant to ask y'all.
Bass, y'all watch baseball?
Yes.
Who's your team?
Cubs.
I like the Nats.
Nats, Cubs?
All right, cool.
I will keep that in mind.
All right.
What?
Okay.
That sounds threatening.
Cubs, man, I'm a time old boy.
So I keep that in mind.
Okay.
Cubs, they ain't let us win.
That's true.
When they lost in game five a couple years ago,
like 20 to nothing.
Oh my God.
That was bad.
I just was bad.
Now it's time to throw myself on.
All right.
Well, Waka, thank you so much, man.
You actually threw it.
We appreciate it, man.
This has been awesome.

OK, let's wrap up the show.
We got some FAQs.
Let's do it.
Exciting.
Very exciting.
What does Billy's show to pull ratio?
Oh, zero.
Undefined.
It doesn't compute?
It does not compute.
Like it's a broken cell in Excel?
Yes.
Chill to pull.
How chill do you get, though?
Let's ask that.
Oh, I get chills.
Fuck, I didn't core his light.
At your max chillest, though, would you say,
like, what's your chill?
What's the baseball?
What's it, 20 to 80?
Is the Mendoza line?
No, 20 to 80 is the scouting, right?
I think it's something ridiculous like that.
20 to 80.
80 is the top.
20 is the lowest.
What's your chill level?
I'd like to think I'm pretty chill.
Did you guys think I'm chill?
That's not your answer.
You shouldn't care.
What percent Blake are you?
Try to find POT's Bernie.
True.
You've actually raged quite a bit.
Honestly, I've called No Chill Bill recently.
Oh, shit.
That's actually an awesome nickname.
Because, wait, Chill Bill.
No, Chill Bill's not cool.
No Chill Bill's.
No, I've been working on my chilling recently.
That's of course light.
How do you work on your chilling?
No, but besides that, when was the last time you had a moment
where you looked around and you're like,
I'm at optimal chill levels right now?
Sunday night.
Honestly, Wednesday, the sun was out at St. Patrick's Day
just getting some vitamin D sick.
Just chilling?
You were not chilling on St. Patrick's Day.
I saw the hat that you were wearing.
Billy looked like you looked like a roadie
from the Dropkick Murphy's on Saturday.
You were looking for a fight somewhere.
No, I wasn't.
I was sitting on a couch with my dog.
It was sick.
Looking for a fight.
No, I was not.
You were wishing somebody would come through the door
and start talking shit to you.
Yeah, you wanted someone to step to you.
No.
Okay.
I got legal hands.
I can't fight anybody.
No, seriously.
Like legally, I can get murder, not manslaughter
if I get into a fight with someone.
That's the least chill thing you've ever said.
How?
Well, I got legally because I was registered
in a professional boxing match.
If I get into a fight with someone.
I don't think it was.
I don't think it's a professional.
It was professional.
Officially an amateur.
No, it's a professional event
because he went professional to fight his fight.
So I had to register as a professional.
I don't think anything about that is true, Billy.
It's a really big somebody up.
I'm going to say something nice.
That's a cool thing.
That's a cool thing to be able to say.
Like, yo, I would fight you, bro,
but I'd have to go to jail forever.
It's one of my no chill things.
I'm like, fuck, like, like,
what if something happens?
I go to jail.
I wouldn't.
I would be just terrible at jail.
No, you got weapons.
You got your weapons in jail.
They would be like, that guy has no fucking weapons.
Actually, you know what they would have to do?
They'd actually have to cut your hands off
before you went to jail.
Anyway.
They don't let you bring in weapons.
We'll be your mindset when you went to prison.
Dude, I would never go to prison.
Unless you beat somebody else.
Well, that's never going to happen.
I would let someone beat me up.
I'd rather not go to prison.
All right.
So you're so people are going to step to you.
It'd be very funny if Billy had to get a lethal injection
for being not chill enough.
If you would learn so much about the drugs
that we're going to go into beforehand.
I went this shot.
Yeah.
All right.
No, that's the poor bitch who was going
to make my nipples weird.
All right.
Go ahead.
What's up, A-Rod's co-host and Arian Foster's co-host.
You've had David Spade, Adam Sandler, Tim Meadows,
and Rob Schneider on the show.
Great cast, all of them.
Any chance you can get Norm McDonald on
to keep the mid-90s SNL theme going?
I'd love to talk to Norm.
Norm's a big sports gambling guy, too.
Yeah.
My favorite thing that Norm does
is when he's just live tweeting golf events,
but he's doing it like 10 minutes after they happen.
But they're the most bland tweets ever.
It's like, and Phil, within seven feet there, great shot.
That whole happened 10 minutes ago.
I would definitely have Norm McDonald on as well.
What's up, guys?
Especially Big Ten Cat.
My dog died in August.
We were incredibly close and it's been very tough.
We got a new puppy just before we put him down.
My wife already had a dog.
Now the puppy likes her more than me.
So she's both dog's favorite person.
How do I talk her into a third dog
in hopes I'm the favorite?
You're just going to keep getting dogs.
Maybe we don't work on the puppy.
Yeah.
Hey, maybe just take him on a walk, dude.
Maybe just be more dog friendly.
Play with your dog.
Play with your dog.
I would try to, I don't want to use the word kidnap,
but I would like to make sure the dog only saw me
for a week nonstop at a time.
Because at that age, they'll imprint on you pretty quickly.
So just take your dog to work like a week.
You could also pretend that you work at General Mills for a day
and just line your pockets with shrimp
and just walk around your house and your dog will love you.
If we're in the trustry,
I re-spent four straight days with Norman and I came home.
I would have said I was the favorite, the dog favorite.
And I came home and he just wasn't even interested anymore.
I think I lost.
I think being away for that long, I've lost the lead.
That's honestly the best way to do it
is just every time the dog sees you, give it a treat.
Just bribe it.
And then if your significant other asks you if you're
giving the dog too many treats, be like, no, not at all.
But just do that for four days and you should be good.
Can you just show Norm some porn?
No, no, no, no, no.
He's new dude.
What?
So you didn't get the bonus?
No, he still does.
Well, we talked about it.
Why don't you get him just like a real hot stuffed animal?
Let's talk about it again.
Turn your boy into a man.
Like when I'm there and Rhea's not there,
he's like missing a girl and starts humping.
For example, Rhea was by himself all weekend no humping.
Wait, so Norm is the fucking, everyone hates that dude.
Who's like, when you're hanging out with the boys and trying
to chill, you're like, yo, where are the chicks?
Yeah.
Like we need some chicks here.
Let's go out and try to get laid.
That's Norm?
I guess.
Fuck.
Hey, he's like, where's my stuffed animal?
No chill.
Norm's got no chill.
Can't just hang with the boys.
Would you guys ever record in space?
Call that the gas.
In space.
Would you all ever record an episode in space?
No.
Yeah.
No.
Yes.
I don't think so.
Yes.
No, it's gonna be no for me.
Why not?
I don't like heights.
Okay.
Are you actually through an outer space?
Yeah.
Or is that high?
I'm saying yes.
Why not?
I agree.
Can this, is this, what did Elon Musk write this?
Can we expensive?
I think so.
Yeah.
Probably.
Where was that question?
Sorry.
I want my body jettisoned into outer space after I die.
There is space just to be floating around the entire galaxy.
Eventually somebody will find it, maybe reanimate it, put me in a zoo.
Put you in a direct TV satellite so you can stream
red zone every weekend.
Fuck yes.
That'll be sick.
But then they're gonna sell the ESPN and then that's gonna be next year.
You talk about having a PMT group chat, but do you also have a secret PMT group chat that
doesn't include Billy so you guys can talk about him behind his back?
I know that.
We started that a while ago.
Yes.
That's where all the real good stuff happens.
That's where we're really woke.
No, it actually isn't.
It's really, we have a separate chat without Billy that is solely for plan making that we
know Billy is going to ask a billion questions about that we can just get it done with.
And then we tell Billy, hey, this is what we're going to do.
Do you guys?
That's all it is, Billy.
You wouldn't want to be on it anyways.
Ignorance is bliss.
Yeah.
Do you guys still make $75,000 per episode?
No.
Also any update on Vanny Woodhead?
With inflation, it's like 100.
Yeah.
And then, yeah, it got bumped up a couple years ago.
I think now we're at like 107,000.
Bitcoins per episode.
Yeah.
It's not a bag.
I actually get paid in Dogecoin.
Yeah.
It's not a big deal.
Vanny Woodhead.
I'm actually going to try to fix it up for this summer.
Okay, great.
Yeah, it's kind of happy.
No, seriously.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, it's going to, I'm 100% confident you'll get that done.
Yep.
When I graduate, I'm going to have so much fucking time.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you already got to get us an NFT.
Uh-huh.
You got to get an NFT of Jake's voice.
Uh-huh.
You got to fix Vanny Woodhead.
You got to finish the bracket, QB bracket.
Well, it needs to, it'll get its winner.
Yeah.
You got to find my avatar.
How's that going?
Uh-huh.
Okay, I'll actually do that soon.
Okay, got it.
All right.
All right, last one.
Stuff, fellas, not to be a downer during the best time of the year,
but have you guys given much thought to if slash when you retire from the podcasting life?
I'd like to imagine you'll be doing this until your death bed,
because I don't want to live in a world without PMT.
Also, Billy as a host just won't fill the void.
Sorry, Billy.
Oh, wow.
No, that's fair.
Did you go on Chris Long's show, Billy?
No, I haven't.
Oh, I wanted to ask you that.
You can, you can.
Is that okay?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Were you asked?
Yes.
I'm retiring like three years.
I think it's probably going to be like,
have you seen those videos of Arnold Schwarzenegger on his farm with like his giant ponies?
That's probably what I'm just going to have a farm.
I'm actually going to turn into Billy when I retire.
I'm just going to have a farm with a shitload of animals.
Just chill.
I think as soon as I'm like, it's funny being old right now,
but then when I'm real old, old, it'll be like, this sucks.
And then Billy will be able to take over.
And then we can do a reunion tour when we're old, old, old.
Like 80.
Correct.
That would be amazing.
No, but guys, you guys are going to-
Perry Ellis's senior season.
You guys are going to get back together for one more.
You're going to get a movie made on you guys.
It's going to be sick.
Our life is going to be like a movie?
Well, no, like the movie, the documentary movie.
Who do you think is going to play behind the pod?
This is Billy's way of saying, hey, I want some cash.
Can I direct this?
Can I produce?
No, I have zero qualifications for any of that.
Script it.
Billy, script it.
That has never stopped you.
Also-
What's a Billy?
I know.
Come on.
Cast it real quick.
It's actually a very easy casting job.
I'm the rock.
Right.
I'm Triple H.
Or, yeah.
Hank is the dude that looks like Hank.
Yeah, from Southern Valley.
Yep.
Okay, cool.
Perfect.
All right.
Jake is Revell.
I'll start the screenplay.
Yeah, Jake is Revell.
Bubba is-
Who's like the-
Bubba is-
No, I was going to make a joke, but I'm not-
Jerry Runner.
Nope.
Don't make-
Don't make-
You know what?
I've decided-
Be nice to Bubba.
No, be nice to Jake weak.
If you can connect those dots, you can connect those dots.
Bubba is Brad Pitt and Michio Black.
Okay.
All right.
The very stars.
Let's do it.
Let's do the numbers.
We're back in the studio.
30.
99.
8.
29.
I'm actually-
18.
32.
I lost track of what number I'm supposed to-
19.
It's kind of like 2 in a row for 19.
Yeah, that was-
19's been hot.
Yeah, that's two balls in a row, because we did a-
Oh, no, no, no.
On Thursday, it was random, but it was 19.
It was a computer version.
Right, but I feel like the ball 19 has been hot in the last month.
Um, no.
19 was the first time two times ago.
Okay.
Animal fact?
Dolphins are not the only animals besides humans that have sex for pleasure.
Love you guys.
What's the other one?
I was gonna say-
Wait, wait, wait, what's all that animal?
It turns out any animal with an orgasm, by definition.
Get away from me, I'm coming in a train.
I need a tiger, please.
It's your day.
Come on, slow down.
If you don't mind, I'm not the one.
Got my partner, Roswell.
Hey, bro, I'm drinking hell.
Can't you tell?
Please, let me feel that fetish.
That's a wicked weather.
Trying to hit the hotel with two girls.
That's why I'm-
Take the dick while I swallow.
Pegman, Scott, I've got a freaky.
Hey, you got me in the trance.
Please take off your pants.
Don't swap up on your hands.
Then you got me slain.
Sleep in fear.
