Let's go. Now in the street there is violence, and then a lot of work to be done, no place to hang up. Welcome to part of my take. Today is Monday, May 1st, and Hank, we should probably just start with you, Hank, the floor is yours. Hank? PFT is not saying anything.

I think it's my cutout. I want to say that the Bruins season was not a failure. I was trying to say that, Hank, you gave me the floor and you just stepped all over. I'm sorry for your loss. I had the floor. I did not invite you to dance with me. Hank, we should usually introduce what we're talking about. Okay.

Hank, you gave me the floor and you just stepped all over. I'm sorry for your loss. I had the floor. I did not invite you to dance with me. Hank, we should usually introduce what we're talking about. You always remind people to do that. No, people know. I'm just trying to be helpful.

Yeah, but go ahead. The Bruins lost in heartbreaking fashion after being the President's Cup trophy winner. They had the best, the most wins in NHL history this year, and I think we said before this series started it would be a colossal failure, anything less than Stanley Cup. This was a lot less than Stanley Cup. We lost in the first round to Jake's floor to Panthers. Die hard, Jake. Jake hit you with a really, really, a very polite celebration, almost too polite when

he won. So, Hank, the floor is yours. How do you feel about your Boston Bruins being the biggest chokers in the history of the NHL? Yeah, I want to use the Giannis quote and say that it's not a failure. It's just steps to success, but it's, I don't know how you could say that. That was a complete abject failure. It just hurt a lot, especially at the end of the game.

The first round was going through the teammate handshake line and hugging everyone. Seemed like that might be his last, you know, it could be it for him. They've had an unbelievable run for the last, I don't even know, over 10 years, since 2011. And they had their best team of all time this year. It felt like this was going to, and they, you know, they made it to Game 7 and Stanley Cup a couple of years ago, lost that. This felt like it was going to be a great, you know, end of the era championship run. Great points of all time, most wins of all time would have been the best team of all

time. President's Cup, they got the goalie cup, whatever the fuck that was, pasta, got the scoring cup, whatever the fuck that's called. It's, it's the, it's the down, it's the downside of sports fandom because you sit there and you grind with them all year long and you watch all these wins and you think it's a magical ride and then it gets cut short and it's like unfinished business. And obviously, you know, I am a Bruins diehard, although, you know, it's been seven games. I didn't see this team as the best team of all time, but Hank was saying, as far as

I could tell, this is the, this team's not that good for what I've watched this year. This was, this was not the team that people watched in the regular season. Yeah. It's Hank. All right. So I got spins on for you, Hank, cause I'm, you know, that did suck. I mean, they're game seven playoff hockey. There's nothing like it in sports game seven playoff hockey over time.

It is the cruelest thing in all of sports. It is the feeling you get when you lose a game seven. I was saying to Fidelberg, uh, uh, you know, in between periods, I was like, dude, even like the Blackhawks runs, like I still can, can visualize the Kings in 2014, beating the Blackhawks in overtime in game seven, the Western Conference final, the puck like bouncing in and being like, wait, it's over. There's nothing like you just, it, you sit there and be like, how is it over?

Like keep this game going. This is not fair. There's nothing like it in sports, but Hank, I have something to cheer you up. One is presidents, you know, co-chup, sorry, excuse me, presence cup trophy. Like that, that hat, this happens, this happens a lot. Okay. And you could just word for word, which I think you should do right now live while we're taping, just copy and paste the Tampa Bay Lightning tweet from 2019

when they had the best record in the NHL and they got swept by the Blue Jackets in the first round for people don't remember it. The Tampa Bay Lightning main account tweeted this right after we don't have any words and we know you don't want to hear them. We understand your anger, your frustration, your sadness, everything you're feeling. We get it. This isn't the ending we imagined and certainly not the one we wanted. Thank you for being there the entire way.

You got to just tweet that. Let everyone know you're there for them. I'm not there for them. You got way bigger business to go. Honestly, and this is where it's, you know, Boston people might get mad at me because obviously I am a diehard Bruins fans, but I am more of a diehard Celtics fan. This is bad for the Celtics.

This is like as a city as a whole, you're both, you know, top seeds. You got to, you got to put the pressure on in the early rounds. And the fact that the Bruins lost, it almost kind of like sets the tone of like anything can happen. And that's not where you want to be. You want to be the city of champions. You want to be, you know, the powerhouse. Everyone's going to the stand the cup finals.

Everyone's going to the NBA championship. They had a lead that looked like, you know, they had a chance to empty net. Pasta fucking got that goal. He had, he scored the overtime goal. It got so lucky. Hit the goal. He's like stick when he wasn't even trying to block it. Oh, that's a save.

But it wasn't. Okay. It was an accidental save. Yeah. By my say, he was just in really good position. And you could say that it's the curse of Bob Rofsky too. But Sergey Bob Rofsky, the gold tender. For this Florida Panthers team is also the gold tender for the Columbus Blue

Jackets when they beat the Tampa Bay Lightnings, whose statement, Hank is about to crib right now word for word. Now we should address Hank, the NHL rig conversation. Yeah, because it seems like there was a script that needed to be followed at the end of this game with a minute left, actually just over a minute left. I'd say about a minute five left. The graphic flashed on the screen. The score bug updated.

It said goal Florida Panthers tie ball game three three. Yeah, right at the end. It was about five seconds before the actual goal and it was like 20 seconds. I caught we were on the live stream. I was like, why did the goal just flash and everyone's like, wait, I didn't see that it was 20 seconds. You can watch it back clear as day. They updated the score before the puck went in.

So, hmm, really makes you think on that. And now if you are a Leafs fan out there and before this game, Hank, I told you, I tweeted this out just for the record that I wanted the Bruins to win because you want to beat the best if you want to be the best. You know, no easy ways out. I didn't want the Panthers. I wanted Hank. I wanted the Bruins.

I think all of Toronto would back me up on that. They were saying we want Florida. But I think what they were really saying, they were trying to reverse jinx themselves into saying that we want the Bruins. That also just to defend Toronto for a second. There was also a clip where they said we want Boston. They were just covered your bases. Yeah, right.

They were kidding, both. And then the one obviously saying we want Florida got put out there. We can say Billy's got something to win. And I wanted to go through Hank to get to get to these Stanley Cup finals. Yeah, I just want to say what's worse, regular season success and then losing all in the Super Bowl with the 18-1 Patriots season or this Bruins collapse? Good question.

Good question. I mean, because the first round upsets almost worse than getting all the way to the end. It's definitely the Super Bowl. What are you thinking right now? No, no, no, I mean, this is the greatest regular season of all time. But it's but it happens that was that was an upset. This is a collapse. This happens in hockey.

This is not like I'm not just trying to make a different one game. I'm not trying to make Hank feel better. This is not on the same level as the Milwaukee box. This is not on the same level as a one seed losing 16. This happens every few years. Like, I mean, the Tampa Lightning were the best team in hockey. They got swept in the first round. I think they added it a couple of years ago.

I don't think Hank was thinking about the answer that Hank was thinking about how he wanted to kill Billy, like what method he was going to use to kill him in that moment. But I disagree with the big cat. I think this is worse than the Bucks just because the Bruins. No, yes, yes, because the Bruins were the best hockey team of all time. That all time. But they also that also was that that also was a record that is hard.

Like the Red Wings in the 90s had a better record if they had they had ties back then. So I mean, well, it's also it's like the Golden State Warriors when they had the best record in the NBA. Yeah, they were to lose in the first round. That would be worse than the Bucks losing in the first. I just think it happens a lot in hockey. Like it does. It does happen more on time. Then like it just happens a lot in hockey.

So I don't like it's it's just not it's there's precedent for it. It happens. It seems like every couple of years they showed the graphic. The last time a team had the best record and won the Stanley Cup is all the way back to 2013. So it tells you like the the volatility of the NHL playoffs. Yeah, and I think it's like back to 2007. It's only I think there've only been one maybe two Stanley Cup champions that also won the President's Cup Trophy, which I love that we just go back and forth all the time. And now we're just saying President's Cup Trophy.

I don't know if it's President's Cup, the President's Trophy. We just say both on this show because it's because it's the Cup. It's because it's the Cup because it's the Cup. Don't forget the goalie cup. Uh, Big Cat, watching that, I know what you're saying. Like you flash back to the moments when you've watched Playoff Hockey, when your team has been involved in these overtime games and in the moment, it feels it doesn't feel fun at all.

It just feels like you're on the edge of your seat. But I I do miss that sensation when you're watching Playoff Hockey. It's it's so fun to watch, but you really wish you were involved somehow to feel the emotions. Oh, it's like it's like porn in that way. Absolutely. And it really is. It is like the overtime and in a game seven. There's just no feeling like it because you just sit there.

If you lose in a game seven overtime, you sit there just staring at the TV. Like, how is it over right now? How is this finished? Like they have to be keep. They have to play more. This is not fair. And you go through all the emotions that it's hard to replicate in any other sport. You know, other than like maybe Joe Carter's walkoff in the World Series.

Like that's there's there's not a lot that they can replicate that feeling. But it's so different in hockey, too, because the game is so fluid that anything can happen at any given time. Whereas if you're watching baseball, you know, OK, this next pitch could be a home run. When when your team's not up to bat, you're like, OK, now's the time where I have to prepare myself in hockey. It's just like 30 second swings, 15 second swings back and forth, back and forth. I'm curious to know, Jake, you are a very gracious winner.

You've got a history of being a gracious winner on the show. Is there anything that you'd like to say after this resounding victory? He was he was just causing a scene. You know, it was it was a crazy series. I'm happy for the diehard Panther fans that I know at home. I'm obviously not one of them, but they don't get this feeling often. So it's crazy. But can I make? Yeah, go ahead.

Can I make a suggestion in the spirit of NHL playoffs? And this is the one thing that we love the most about the sport is the handshake line after every series. I think we should do a part of my take handshake line. Oh, right now, Hank and Jake. Yeah, Jake. Yeah, please. To honor the boys and the blades. Please have a handshake handshake line, guys. Come on, get up. Do it.

Do it, Hank. Give a handshake. Hank's getting up. He's not so happy about this. Jake is already up, ready to go. Hank took office. Oh, Hank took off his hat and then Jake went in for the hug. Hank was beautiful. Hank shunned the hug. And not one handshake line, Jake.

Well, sometimes they hug. Sometimes the sportsman. Going back to your guys debate, who are the two teams that sparked it this playoff season? What? Yeah. Panthers. Yeah, that's true. Florida runs the world. South Florida, giant killers. Yeah, they are.

They are fish and giant. And FAU, yeah. And Miami, final four. All right. So any last words, Hank? Patrice Bergeron, that honestly, it's sticking with me. It's super sad if that's his last game. Been on the bruins 20 years. It feels like he should have won more than one cup.

He's just been so good for so long. And the fact that he's kind of retired is super, super, super sad. Yeah. Yeah. One little footnote on this game, the Leafs have the Bruins first rounder. So that's kind of crazy that that the Bruins lost and the Leafs kind of got a double win. Just if you're like a hockey, if you're a real puck boy,

if you're if you're just looking at the draft as well, you got one eye on the draft, one eye on the playoffs. Always. Yeah. People think it's easy being a Boston fan. It's like it's just not shut the fuck up. That's I mean, that was a that was a devastating loss. Yeah. PFT. It was. I mean, I agree. I agree.

It is devastating. I've been there. I watched him lose game seven at home, too. But you do have a team that's playing tomorrow night that has or tonight as we're taping this tonight, that has that's the favorite to win the NBA title. But that's pressure. That's what I was saying. I know. But it is a nice.

There's some nice solace in that that you can go right to the next thing. I know. But the Sixers, man, they're. Oh, man. All right. Well, we'll get to that wiggle room. I understand that. It's like, OK, you already lost all your margin for error. Now, if any, if one team loses, you're done with all the playoffs.

I get I get that stuff, but I will. I will stand in and say, shut the fuck up, Hank. Anytime you say how tough it is to be a Boston sportsman. It's since this show has existed. I've watched Patriots lose Super Bowl. I've watched the Celtics lose this is seen in a big chamber to be home. And I've watched Bruins lose game seven

and I just watched the best team in the world series. Yeah, but I'm just saying it's not easy. Yeah, I think I've watched as many teams lose championships as you have. It's been here for six months. Wait, Hank. So. Also, Hank, you've watched the Patriots win two Super Bowls three over the Rams and twenty eight to three. The biggest Super Bowl comeback of all time. Yeah.

We I was talking about the bad stuff. I didn't. All right. So everyone, you know, if you're listening to this right now, please say a prayer for for Hank Lockwood. Thank you. He's going through it. Appreciate trending on Twitter right now, which is very funny. I didn't look into it, but it was 10,000 tweets. Then it's just said Twitter trend, Hank.

I was sure it's not Henrik Lundquist. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Don't worry about it. Like I said, it doesn't sometimes I'll trend on a random day. And it's because Tiger Woods like hit a random golf shot in his house in Florida. Doesn't matter. Hank was trending. OK, let's talk some other sports.

Let's talk some other game sevens. Steph Curry put on maybe the best playoff performance he's ever had 50 points. Game seven against the Kings. Never been done in a game seven in the NBA playoffs, which is nuts. Incredible, incredible series. Incredible game from Steph. The Warriors are marching on.

I mean, that was we're so lucky to get to watch stuff. I was thinking about it, right? Like we we had the a few years ago where we had a nitpick Steph Curry and we came up with that. He chooses mouth guard weird. That was the only thing we could find that we really like didn't like about him. I don't know. Sure. Like he is an incredible player.

Obviously, I mean, people are saying top 10 all time now. I wouldn't disagree with that. But I and I know I might be in the minority here because I think there's a lot of Warriors for Teague, especially if one of your teams has played them in a finals or on the way to a finals. I still love watching the Warriors play basketball and I still love watching Steph Curry.

Like I don't I have no hate for him whatsoever. And I was watching that game today being like, we're so lucky to get to watch a guy like this play basketball. Because you can't you can't say anything about him. You can't say that the refs give him calls. You can't say that he plays a cheap style of basketball. You can say that he ruined basketball because now every kid wants to be Steph Curry and they're hooking threes from the logo.

And that's how the games played right now. But you can't say that Steph Curry isn't one of the all time greats to watch. There's really nothing about his game that you can pick apart and be like, oh, actually, he's not that good. You put him on this team and he'd suck. No, you put Steph Curry on any team and it would be an instant contender. And 50 points in game seven, cements it. We've got the return of already cemented it.

He already had submitted it. But yeah, well, further in my opinion, big cat, what we've got coming up right now is a legacy series. Yes, we've got LeBron versus Steph. And that's going to be awesome to watch. But we also saw the return of the third quarter Warriors. Yeah, and it feels like the third quarter Warriors haven't been a thing in the last couple of years, so I looked up the stats on them.

So the Warriors have been they've been known since about 2014 as being just a team that will slit your throat at the start of the third quarter. And that's how they that's how they differentiate themselves from any other team in the NBA. They were in terms of plus minus, they were the best team in the NBA from 2014 until 2019. And that's every single. I'm not talking about like on aggregate in the 2014-15 season.

They were first place 2015-16. They were first place all the way through 2018-2019 season. They were first place in third quarter plus minus every single year. And then they dropped down because they had that injured year where Clay and stuff were both hurt. Yeah, then they bounced back a little bit. And then they got back to being number one again in 2021-2022. Then this year they sucked again for the vast majority of the year.

They were they're like a slightly below average team in third quarter. And then tonight they come out, they outscore them by 12 in the third quarter. I think that what we've seen is the return officially of the third quarter Warriors and I wouldn't be surprised if this continues to have the rest of the playoffs. Well, it was the other crazy thing from this game is that the second, third and fourth leading scores on the Warriors team were combined 12 of 44. So that's Wiggins, Clay Thompson and Jordan Poole, 12 of 44.

If you wanted to do starters, Wiggins and Clay were 9 of 35. Imagine having your two, your second and third options, scoring options go 9 for 35 in a game seven on the road. And then be like, yeah, you actually comfortably won this game. Oh, because you have Steph Curry. And he can he basically is just a get out of jail free card for anything that like bad that could happen to the Warriors. Like, oh, we still have Steph Curry.

I also was thinking about it. I know that people don't like the Warriors for many reasons. Obviously, one of them being Kevin Durant Warriors, him going there. If you don't like it, didn't like the Kevin Durant Warriors, which I'm not going to argue against because it was it was almost unfair at times, how good they were. I still loved watching him because I just love like the way the Warriors play. Basketball is fun to watch from as a basketball fan.

But if you were like, I hated them because of that. And taking out Hank, he's he's got PTSD from the Warriors. We were talking about earlier. But taking out that if the Warriors won the title this year, that would be objectively funny that Steph would have five and Katie would have two and Steph would have more without Katie than with him. And it's like he's Katie's like almost a little barnacle on Steph, the Titanic that is Steph and his career.

That would be awesome. That would be awesome. It would be funny. And also if you beat LeBron on the way there and then came back and won another one next season and had six. I also that that would be funny. I think I think we could root for that. I also should just say I'm unbiased, but I do have a future on the Warriors.

But I like I never really hated. Again, we go back to when we were trying to find a way to hate Steph. And all we came up with was that he choose on his mouth guard a lot. Like that was it. Yeah, we like it's just something about him. He is so much fun to watch. And this game today you knew while you were watching it. You were watching something special. Hank, this disagrees with everything that's been said.

No, I'm not. I'm not. No, I'm not. I'm not even listening. OK, yeah, he's grumpy. I so I do put an asterisk on the series because deli didn't play. And deli is that he's the step stopper. That's what he's got his reputation on. I would have liked to see what the Kings had done with the beam if they had won at 330 local time.

They would have lit it. You like the beam. Yeah. Can you like the beam during the daytime? They did it for the first time that the beam ever was lit was during the daytime. They want to see it during. No, no, you can't. They want to. I think the first beam lit in history was I think they won a road game in Charlotte on like an afternoon on a Saturday, Sunday afternoon, and they lit the beam and no one

no one knew what was going on. So I'm happy, though. So the war, the Kings had an incredible season. They got a lot to build on. You do have to figure out what's going on with Sabonis because there's nothing worse in basketball than watching a guy. It's he got the Ben Simmons treatment. They were just like basically giving him all the space in the world

to shoot 16 foot jumpers and he wouldn't do it. He did it a couple of times. He made a couple, but he missed a few. But they have they have a bright, bright future. I'm very happy. I was afraid for a moment they were going to light the beam out of like being like what a season will always remember this season. They didn't because I was like, that would have been the end of the beam.

The only other two things I had from this game. I fucking love Kavan Luni so much. That dude is Steve Kerr actually called them one of the best centers. I don't know if I'd go that far. But he had so after the Warriors went down O2, he had in his in the games, 20 rebounds, 14 rebounds, 22 rebounds, 13 rebounds, 21 rebounds. He averaged 18 rebounds a game in those five games. He had 10 offensive rebounds today.

He is like every championship team, every team like this needs some of those guys that do the dirty work. And I just love watching him just get every board and hustle for every board. He doesn't even have like freak athleticism. But he's just, he knows where he's got to be and he's always fighting. And I just love watching it. And then the last thing, and we'll talk more about it with Dylan Brooks, but Malik Monk, I don't, I wouldn't say this was shit talk,

but this was more like a quote that maybe you wish you had back. After the game six win, which was shocking because I think everyone thought the Kings weren't going to be able to win in San Francisco. But he said, we knew we could run them with only one day off between games. It's an even quicker turnaround for game seven. I felt a little more on them. They're a little tired. We're younger than they are going to try to do the same thing Sunday.

Basically being like, these guys are old. We can do this. And you saw what a championship team looks like and a championship player more than anything in Steph Curry. Yeah. So the Kings, I think it's safe to say the future is bright in Sacramento, Northern California in general, but especially in Sacramento, because they're so young and they're fun.

And they're one of the best offenses that we've seen in a very long time in the NBA. So they're fun to watch. They're going to be around for a while. Looney is absolutely a guy that you want on a team that's going to make a deep run like a dog. He's a dog. And then you've got, you mentioned Sabonis. So we know him originally as Arvita Sabonis' son.

Correct. Right. And you remember Arvita Sabonis, great center from back in the day. I read a story about Arvita Sabonis that talked about his whirlwind romance that he had with Miss, I think she was Miss Lithuania that might not even be the right country, but one of those Eastern European countries. And you know how he asked her to marry him? How?

He left, he left an engagement ring on the toilet and then, and then she found it. And she was like, Oh, are you asking me to marry me? And he was like, Yeah, I guess so. He never even really like asked her. He just put it on the toilet and he's like, Oh, she'll find this eventually. So it was, it was a Blumkin engagement. It was a full on Blumkin engagement. Yeah, absolutely.

But yeah, credit to the Kings. Kings are awesome. I'm going to be rooting for them because they're fun. Or maybe there's just like a one time fling that I had where I kind of fell in love with them for a short time because they were cool for a couple games and the beam was good vibes. But I don't regret it. I know Hank's thinking because he's grumpy right now. I told you guys about the Kings.

No, he was right though. I hate it when you guys say what I'm thinking. No, you were right. You were right. I'm not going to let him gaslight you. I was wrong. I said they weren't going to win another game. Yeah, but you were right.

So now you're gaslighting yourself by not gaslighting me. No, no, you were right. You were right. I was wrong. Okay. You were wrong. Another one. Mark another one for Hank.

He's a loser. Hank, if you have any clutch gene in your life, you'll get the lottery ball today. Even a little bit of clutch gene, he'll get it. I got a better seed. So in a little bit of clutch gene, he'll get it. It'd be so funny if he got it today because he wouldn't even really be that happy. This would actually be the perfect day for him to get it. No, no, no, no, no.

He would be, he would, he's already forgotten the Bruins. He would be the happiest guy in the world. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What? It's, I got an hour and 15 minutes left until Monday. Okay. All right. And then the Celtics have, all right.

So let's talk about who the Warriors are playing. The Lakers who demolished the Grizzlies on Friday night. It worked out so poetic that before the series, Dylan Brooks said, I wouldn't mind playing LeBron in a seven game series. The legacy is there. First time back in the playoffs, knock him out right away. That'll be a good first round matchup for us. Got knocked out in seven, seven games or six games.

And then also during that series says I don't respect anyone until they give me 40. The Grizzlies lost by exactly 40 on Friday night. We had afterwards LeBron with some all time social media use. So I don't really know how to describe this emoji. I think it's, I think it's just trying to swear, but bleeping out a swear. So he said, unlike you little swear word bleeped out. These are rap lyrics. Okay.

Oh, these are all right. I'm a grown ass man, big shoes to fill, grown ass pants, probably hustle with your pops, go ask your parents. So he went Jay-Z song on Twitter and then on Instagram posted, if you ever, if you ever see me fighting in the forest with a Grizzly bear, help the bear. Which was awesome. And then Shannon Sharp, who gets like a just chill out man of the year, maybe we'll put this for a takey, put this in the nominations.

Jake, he commented on LeBron's Instagram saying, I'm pouring honey on you goat illegal to kill a bear unless being attacked. So yeah, he's pouring honey on LeBron in this made up LeBron bear weird thing that happened after the game, but the Lakers are good. The Lakers are fucking good. And they shut shut the Grizzlies up. And yeah, I mean, it's going to be an incredible, incredible series watching the Warriors vs. Lakers.

The real question now is, would you would you rather pay, would you rather have $500,000 or have dinner with LeBron James? That's the question now. I think that LeBron is his legacies on the line. Let's just say right now. Why is that the question? Because Jay-Z. Oh, that's Jay-Z.

Okay. Yeah, it was a Jay-Z lyric. Got it. But his legacies on the line, I'm personally putting LeBron's legacies on the line in this matchup against Steph Curry. So if Steph beats him, Steph goes up to number two all time. It's going to be as far as I'm concerned. It's going to be fucking awesome.

It's every other night. It's the only series that's playing every other night. The Lakers had five different leading scores in the series against the Grizzlies, which is pretty crazy on a team with LeBron and AD who I think when they won the title in the bubble year, it was just basically LeBron, AD leading scores. They went Hachimura, LeBron, AD, Austin Reeves, AD, and then D'Angelo scored 31 in Game Six. So yeah, I officially have retracted my statement that the Lakers aren't, they are very much live to win the title to go deep.

And now we can see one of like, if you told Adam Silver, you'd get LeBron and Steph in the second round, like he would be like, how much do I pay? Like this is going to be a must watch every single game NBA playoff series. That's why I'm a little bit upset about about how the whole Scott Foster thing worked out because we're deprived of the Scott Foster NBA rig moment in the Warriors game. Because it wasn't even, there were no like close calls. There was nothing that Scott did to impact that game.

It was purely Steph. I was hoping that we would get an NBA wants LeBron against Steph moment, but we didn't get that. I'm a little bit upset about it. But yeah, I'm pumped. I'm super excited for the, for the Lakers series against the Warriors. That's going to be awesome. Yes.

Last CTV. Also last thing until Brooks, he got fine $25,000 for not doing media availability multiple times, which rules. No one had a worse, no one had a worse playoff performance start to finish than Dylan Brooks. Like could not have scripted worse. He is a complete joke and like, like I actually, I think he'll have a career, but I wouldn't be shocked if his career is just over

because of this like mentally. I know that that's crazy to say, but he could not have had a worse playoffs. Yeah. Yeah. No, mentally, you're right. Like you can't come back from this. The only way that you can come back from this is by putting 40 on LeBron, which he's not going to do.

Right. So I'd say, and also I want to get ahead of this. I do not want to be old takes exposed on this because what I'm saying is correct right now, but this could end up very poorly for me. Anthony Davis looks super healthy. Like the healthiest that I've seen him in a long time. Yeah. He's definitely going to get hurt now.

I mean, he gets hurt every game. He gets hurt so healthy. He's so healthy. At this moment, Anthony Davis is so healthy. He gets hurt every single game. We're going to say, Jay, two quick things. Going back to LeBron's tweet, I looked it up. I thought it was interesting that he tweeted during the playoffs.

He hasn't done the zero dark 30, 23 since 2017. Yeah. Which he broke because he liked perfect booties. Oh, really? Yeah. No, I was, it was one of the best stories I've ever broke. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, it's awesome.

He liked, he was liking Instagram pictures. During the playoffs. And he liked an account perfect booties. Yeah. That was when Instagram still showed you what other people were like. That might have been in like 2015 or yeah. I think it was when it used to be such a big deal when he would do the shutdown. It was when the calves or the heat were playing the bulls in the playoffs.

Yeah. And then a second, we have a little bit of Cedigami here. We have one seed represented total. So we have the what? Number one nuggets. Number two Celtics. Three Sixers.

Pretty crazy. It's wild. Four Suns. Five Knicks. Six Warriors. Seven Lakers. Eight Heat. For the first time since they went to 16 teams in the postseason.

It's one team with each seed advancing. That's very cool. It's wild. I'll take it back. It's wild. Very cool. I'll take it back. It's very wild.

And people like they should reseed. It's like opposite conferences. Yeah. Yeah, no, it's wild. When you tweeted that, I was like, that's, that's fucking cool. That's, that's very cool. That's actually cool. It's also crazy to see the, the difference.

Like if I think it's like, if the Knicks play the Warriors in the finals, the Knicks would have home. Yeah. Five versus six. Well, is it by, in the finals, is it by seed or overall record? I think it's overall record. And there was one other that was crazy. Oh, it was the, if the Heat played the Lakers in the finals,

the Heat would have home, home court advantage. That would be awesome. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. So it has been an awesome, I mean, we knew, we knew it going in. Like I don't, I know that there'll probably be some people being like the big takeaway from this, but we, we, everyone who's watching the NBA season knew that

like this, these playoffs were going to be crazy. We didn't expect the bucks to lose to the Heat, but in the West, we all thought that the, you know, the sons, the Warriors and the Lakers were probably better than the seeds that they were playing in the first round. And that proved to be true. This might be the best final four ever in the Western conference. When you look at the four teams that are still left, that's fucking awesome. The West is so, so good.

So good. And the ratings dream. Yes. Yes. All across the board. And when you talk about the sons and nuggets, the nuggets, fucking put it on them. Jamal Murray, because he was injured for what felt like forever.

Cause we last, like the last time I think we saw him play in the playoffs was the bubble. Yeah. He's really fucking good. And I don't think the sons, another old takes to expose. I don't know what the sons are going to do with Joe Kitch, Jamal Murray, pick and roll. Like they were just doing whatever they wanted and it was a great, if you're a

son's hater, which I probably, yeah, I guess I'd say, I don't really hate the sons as an organization. I just, I'm not a fan of Chris Paul. Chris Paul doing his classic Chris Paul where he's down and losing and he toes that perfect line of, is he dirty or is he just like trying to be an extra competitor? I think he's usually dirty. We had that moment too, which is fun. Where it's like usually just Chris Paul defeated.

I'm going to try to injure someone. But if you look at it, maybe I was trying to make a basketball play. Yeah. He was diving at knees out there. It looked like when guys used to try to tackle Gronk back in the day and they knew that they couldn't hit him anywhere above the waist. And so they just aim for his ACL and try to take him out. That's what Chris Paul was doing to Nuggets players.

So I stand my prediction, which is nugs and six. I think it's going to be nugs and six. And if they're big threes cooking, then we're in business. I got nothing to worry about. Yeah. All starters on the Nuggets scored double digits. Like they're finally, this is finally the best version of the Nuggets. Through many years of having injuries and disappointing playoffs.

I know that you don't want to overreact to one game, but I don't. Like they looked very, very good. And it looked like the Suns didn't have the answers for them. Yep. Yep. Things are, everything's coming up Denver right now. I'm happy where I sit. Rado.

All right. Last game, uh, Nick's heat. So the Fleming curse is alive. Our colleague, Frank, the tank is now a Nix fan and the Nix went out and lost to the heat blowing a, I think there were up double digits at one point, uh, early yet. Jimmy Butler gets hurt. Uh, and the big story was that Jimmy Butler gets hurt in, uh, was an early fourth quarter and the Nix spent the entire fourth quarter not going after Jimmy Butler, who was clearly hobbled

and standing in the corner, they put Josh Hart on him and standing in the corner being, being, being like a decoy. They were playing four and five and the heat outlast them. Kyle Lowry was awesome. He is like the definition of a gamer. Heat culture couldn't be more alive. I couldn't be more wrong. And I hope Jimmy Butler's okay.

Yeah. Uh, he had a pretty nasty sprain ankle. I think they went at him one time after he sprained his ankle and then they just kind of forgot to keep attacking the guy that couldn't move, which was an interesting strategy by Tibbs. Yeah. The best part of the game was in the third quarter. We got some vintage Kevin Love outlet passes like three in a row.

I don't think that there's a sweeter playing basketball than Kevin Love throwing like a 60 foot outlet pass right on the money. There were three of them that, that just put him in a spot that only his own player could get and let immediately to dunk our layup. It was so sick to watch. He's the best in the league at that by far. I had that as a note. I was like, I just love watching Kevin Love throw outlet passes because we make it.

It was, no, it was just perfect. It was, they were just like perfectly timed, easy layups, full court passes. And that was back to his UCLA days was like, this guy can outlet pass better than anyone. And you saw it like he, it was rejuvenized Kevin Love. It is so sweet watching when he does it because it looks like it's actually like almost a cheat code because there's not many guys who can do what he can do when it comes to the, the catch, the rebound turnaround, perfect pass in, in stride for an easy layup. If Patrick Mahomes does this, the media won't shut up about it for a week.

Jake, can we actually make a highlight clip just like a compilation of all of Kevin Love's best outlet passes? I would watch the fuck out of that. I'm on it. I'll bet you it's on YouTube, but yeah. Yeah, definitely. But we got to add to it. Yeah.

We got to update it. I'm on it. Yeah. Yeah. Kevin Love. That was quarterback in the building that day. That's right. Yeah.

So I thought, I thought you're going to say the Aaron Rodgers curse. His bucks got bounced. Well, he was at the Rangers game and they won. Yeah. He wasn't the Rangers game on Saturday night. I don't count that. Yeah. He, he looks happy.

I get so happy. They, I got to see it twice. Rangers and Nicks where they showed them on the jumbotron, showed them on the telecast and put Jets quarterback underneath. And I was like, yeah, this is awesome. This is real. He's going to love it. I also loved all the clips that they showed of the old fights between the Nicks and the

Heat from back in the day, including the one where Jeff Van Gundy just wraps his entire body around Alonzo Morning's leg like, like an ankle probation monitor. Yeah. Just like strapped up trying to hold him back. That, that might be the funniest sports clip of all time when, when Jeff Van Gundy sprints onto the court to try to break up a fight and he ends up just grabbing Alonzo Morning's shin and holding on like, like Winnie the Pooh trying to climb up to, to like a, a, a honey hive.

Yeah. Getting just ragdolled everywhere and especially with his hair and just everything. It was just so perfect. Everything about it. Yeah. So funny. So good. All right.

So yeah, that I, okay, I don't want to piss off Nicks because I do like watching them get excited, but it would be funny if they got bounced and it was like yet again, they got so excited about one, one series. But I'll, I'll, I'll enjoy the ride to get excited about it. You guys want a series. That's good. Enjoy the baby steps here. Enjoy the ride.

Enjoy the ride. What? I'm going to poke my head out of the whole Nicks fan when they said, okay, good. What? That's disgusting. Yeah. Hank would never do that. He wouldn't.

But it was kind of like, ah, shit. He was saying that because he just did that with the Bruins. Oh, no, I didn't. No, yeah. It's fun. Like the Nicks, the Nicks fans, it is fun. And it, but it is also like, I think it's fair when people are like, oh, too bad the Nicks fans can't hold a like parade outside of Madison Square Garden because they didn't win game one

because they do hold a parade after every win, but it is fun. I mean, it's an electric environment. So enjoy the ride. It is, it is. And then the reason why I was busted on, on New York sports fans in general is just because they have such a big tradition of winning. That when they celebrate tiny little things like this, it's hilarious. It's very funny to see the entire city going nuts after like one home game went.

But the Nicks don't get excited. The Nicks don't really have a history of winning, but they act like they do. Yeah. We were, I went on Chris Long's podcast and he was asking who are the Nicks of football. And unfortunately it is the Bears because it's like, there's some history there. And then when you look into it, it's like, well, they haven't really won a lot at all ever, but they won once. So that's cool.

I think the Nicks won twice. But yeah, it's, they don't have a really a history of strong winning in New York. I would say the vast majority of the people who are listening to this podcast right now do not remember a time when the Nicks were good at basketball. You know what it is though? It's New York is a basketball city. Like New York, New Yorkers love basketball. So I think that's where it comes through.

And I do appreciate that and love watching that. That part is awesome to watch where everyone rallies around the Nicks. It's just, you got to win this series because there has been a lot of hype and you have home court and Jimmy Butler's ankle might be busted. So now you kind of have no excuses. Like you got to win this series. You got a window, you got a window to win right now. So Jimmy, the story is going to be Jimmy Butler's ankle and tomorrow morning it's

probably going to wake up and be like the size of a grapefruit. And that's going to be tough to play through. But and then he's going to put like 40 on them and on Tuesday night. Yeah. As long as Jimmy Butler just doesn't continue to act like Jimmy Butler. He's one of those guys where if he's hurt, I'm like, he's not, he's not that hurt. Yeah. Yeah.

We are, it's, it's the day.

We've been, we've been looking forward to this moment for months and we're here. We're finally here. Sixer Celtics, game one, Monday night and beat. Max is going through it so bad, PFD. He just keeps saying, like, he's got to play. He's got to play. He's got to play to no one. Like I just walk into a room and Max is mumbling,

he's got to play and beats got to play. So he's, Max is so down bad. He's misreading tweets that get sent to the group chat. There was one that said, there's knee injury is worse than a grade one sprain that they thought it was. And Max was like, that's fine. He's fine. He'll be fine. That's just a grade one sprain.

That's not that serious. Not understanding that they're saying, no, no, it's, it's worse than a grade one sprain. They're leaking that news out there to set expectation that he's not going to play for probably at least two games. So Max, it's fine. It's fine. It could just be, you know, wanting to catch Celtics off guard.

You know, he was practicing today, taking some jumpers. I don't know. If he, if he doesn't play, it's not, it's not fair. How much, how much time, how much time did you spend this week on thinking about your face being completely shaven? The sweep clause is such fucking bullshit. Just win one game. You agreed to it.

Win one game. I know I agreed to it because I have to agree to everything. No, that's not true. Yes, it is. Facts, facts. They try and get me to do cat pets like every day. I always just say no. Two months of a soul patch.

You can put your foot down. I put my foot down with Ray Allen. Yeah. That said a lot. Max, this is, this is on the city of Philadelphia. You guys got to win one home game. That's, that's, you can't blame Joel Embiid for getting swept. You guys have to pull together and win one game at home.

I have a question for Max. Would you rather have had Joel Embiid go off, go off in that game at the end of the season versus Celtics, basically winning him the MVP? Or would you rather have him when the, when the three C was already, they already locked into the three C. It didn't matter if they won or lost that game. Or would you have preferred he rests and then he could have played,

even if it was just one more game against the Celtics in the playoffs? I don't give a fuck about the MVP. I've, I've said that. So B. But, but you, but like that, like that doesn't mean anything. Like him play, like him playing in a regular season game. What am I supposed to be like? Oh yeah.

One plus one equals two. If he doesn't play in that regular season game. Like that's how it works. That's not how it fucking works. No, that's how it works. No, it's not. Yeah, that was wear and tear. It's just a would you rather.

Yeah, yeah. There is no would you rather factor fishing experience, fatigue and playoffs before fact. So don't you think it would be smart when you're already locked into the three C. It's a coincidence. It's a, it is a bad coincidence that it always happens every year. I know what happens every year.

It's like the, it's like how Trump thought that the, he thinks that the human body is like a battery. And so every, every like time you run or sweat, that's just energy that you'll never get back. Yeah. That's what Hank's saying. For this Joel and bead thing where it's like, Oh, well, if he hadn't played in that game,

then he would have at least gotten one game and he gets Celtics. No, you did go off though. That was a sick game. You might suck if you get swept. Now, we should also address the clause in the, in the sweepback because we talked after I, that was the last show that we did. So that would be Thursday night.

We talked after Thursday. I don't remember this at all. The soul patch bet has two clauses in it. But no, but they're fair. I think they're fair clauses. And I think the AWOs will appreciate these clauses. Big cat is my best bet. PFT and I aren't even involved in this series yet.

You're making clauses without me being in the room. The sweep bet is a one-sided bet. It is a one-sided bet. And it is complete bullshit. Usually pretty one-sided. The sixers are 10 point dogs tomorrow. Would you, would you meet max halfway and count a four one sixers win is also in the sweep clause.

Yes. There it is. Deal. Okay. So there you go. I just got to the extra game. So it's either a graphic for everyone, for all the clauses and all the scenarios.

So that's a fair, so that's a fair clause that we just added for you. No, it's fair clause. So are you a little bit of, you know, I guess that doesn't really do anything to make it so that the sixers won't get swept. No. It just makes it like you're slightly.

The giggle that you get during seeing these things is so sick. You know, I mean, you said title town. I know he said that. I know I said that. You can't get upset about a sweep clause when you said title. I immediately walked it back.

Floating around the office on a cloud for the, for when Celtics blue game five and the sixers had advanced. Like Max was basically on vacation in Puerto Rico just chilling with a drink in his hand being like, oh NBA championship we won. Because the Celtics have yet to advance and we have. They controlled their own destiny. Yeah.

All right. So yeah, the clauses. So they're, yeah, we, Piazza and I aren't involved in this series. We are involved in the bet with you guys, but we did point out after you walked out of the room, Hank, Piazza has to go to his dad's memorial. So having a soul patch at that would probably be bad luck.

So he can do the soul. If he has to do a soul patch, it's after that. And I pointed out, I guess that I am. Thank you. I am going to have my third child at any moment now. And I said that I too would like to do the soul patch after the third child arrives. And we take the first picture as a full family

because I will get fucking murdered if I have a soul patch in that picture. I guess fair as well. Okay. So I will still do it if I don't get over 16 at which I am rooting for him to play 16 and a half points for, for, for my guy B ball Paul. We can do that in one game.

Also, there's an, there's an Embiid clause as well. What? There was, there was an Embiid clause. There was? What was it? That if Embiid doesn't, he has to, he has to play two games or something. What, for what?

Like if, if, if he doesn't play in two games, that it doesn't count. Wait, how many players are on a basketball team? What, when did this clause happen? We talked, can someone back me up? Does someone else remember this? I swear there was an Embiid clause. I mean, if Embiid doesn't play the whole fucking series,

it's bullshit. It's bullshit. Tatum shouldn't, shouldn't get to play. Oh, you gotta do, okay. Will you agree on that? No. Make sure that Tatum, Tatum runs his sprints in the off season. He's ready for these runs.

Hank, will you do everything in your power to make sure that Tatum doesn't play just in fairness? That's the clause. No. It's just, you gotta win one game. Yeah, it's really simple. Win one game. Oh my God.

Whatever. You had confidence that you were gonna win the series a month ago. A week ago. When the MVP is on the fucking floor. You don't care about MVPs. I'm just saying, the best player in the league, not playing, makes a difference. Fact or fiction.

I know you're doing the fucking giggle. I know you're doing it. Okay, you made me laugh. You made me laugh. You're a funny guy. All right, so we're set. What's the, whatever. Is there even someone to blame for the injury?

Like, how did it happen? Exactly. I think it's because, well, Max has this theory that he knows how to fall, but he always gets injured. So I don't think it makes sense. No, it's good theory. I don't know. It's good theory.

No, it's not a theory. It's just a fact. No, he Max is like, oh yeah. And Beat learned that he needs to fall more so that he won't get injured. Yet he always gets injured. He was so healthy all year. Yeah, I was doing some research today.

I just typed in in Beat online and was looking at videos. And I was like, oh, here's in Beat at practice. I was like, oh, fuck, he's at practice. He's probably playing. He was stationary, literally did not move his legs, just like shooting like. That's something. He was jumping.

He was jumping. He was jumping. There was minimal air, but those feet were getting off the ground. All right, I'll say this for you. You're a full body cast, putting a jump shot. I think this is a fair in Beat clause. If in Beat does not play at all in this series

and you get swept, you can do one month. If he does not play a single game in this series, that's fair. I agree to that. That's fair. I think it was three. No, I just what? Wait, actually, no, that's the same thing. Yeah.

Wait, no, no, no, no, no. If in Beat plays in one game. I'm going to go back and check the tapes. I'm going to go back and check the tapes. OK, you check the tapes. I think that we said that if he sits three, even if he sits three out of the four. No, I don't think so.

All right, I'm going to check the tapes. I'm going to check the tapes. I'm going to check the tapes because now you're making it worse. You're going to make an AI version of part of my tape. Two months of a soul patch. This is where I will say this, though. Again, the tough part about being a Boston sports fan is like the Bruins tonight give me a little less confidence.

Yeah, yeah, like I'm not going to get ahead of myself. Like two months. Like you'll get sick of my soul patch face after like a week. We'll decide. Two months is so long. There is a very real possibility that after like a week of seeing Max with soul patch, we're just like bets off. No, no.

We'll decide. We'll all have to decide. How about me and Hank fight instead? OK, one thing about you, Max. All right. And I felt draft. Will Leviss finally got picked. He's going to the Tennessee Titans.

We also saw. I mean, it was it was crazy that there was it felt like there was a lot of second round big names that went. Where did the Hinden Hooker go? I actually totally. Hinden Detroit, the Lions. OK, that's a good pick. We had it.

Yeah, like I we said it on Friday that we missed when the draft is all one day because like on Saturday, you wake up and you're like, oh, yeah, the draft is still going on. This is still happening right now. But we remind everyone every year that draft grades mean absolutely nothing. They're the funniest thing.

You always want to go and look and find your team and be like, how does everyone think we're doing? They mean nothing. No one knows how these players are going to play. The one we always go back to is the 2012 Seattle Seahawks. When Bleacher reports, someone wrote after one of the worst picks in the first round, I can ever remember the Seattle Seahawks didn't draft any positions of need or draft for the future.

Pete Carroll is proving why he didn't make it to the NFL the first time. Not only was Bruce Irvin a reach at number 15, the Seahawks proved they were oblivious to their madness by celebrating their selection as if the day wasn't bad enough. Seattle selecting Russell Wilson, a QB that doesn't fit their offense at all, was by far the worst move of the draft with the two worst moves of the draft.

Seattle is the only team that received an F on draft day. Their picks that year were Bruce Irvin, Bobby Wagner, Russell Wilson. Yeah, so the Bobby Wagner thing sometimes gets lost because Bleacher Report doesn't mention that. And their strong take, but Bobby Wagner, one of the best linebackers of maybe forever in the NFL. And then Russell Wilson, obviously,

like not fitting their system, the haunted Seattle Seahawks quarterback system prior to Russell Wilson. I think their backup at the time was, oh, it was a dude from Green Bay. Yeah. Why is his name escaping? LSU. Now it's going to kill me.

It's going to kill me too. Matt, no. That's going to kill me. Yeah. Matt Flynn. Matt Flynn. Matt Flynn. Yeah, yeah.

Matt Flynn after the game against the Lions. He's 17, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so yeah, the grades mean nothing, but I will say that on paper, Philadelphia is doing something very smart. Yes. And that's just drafting every single Georgia defensive

player because they had the best defense, maybe of all time in college football. Maybe some of those Hurricanes defense from the early 2000s were better, but that Georgia defense was so sick nasty. So they have Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, then they have Kelly Ringo, Jacobi Dean, and Jordan Davis. And they got the Andre Swift.

And they got the Andre Swift too. So they're building, they're building the Georgia of the North in Philadelphia, which is a smart move. I actually think that that's a good draft strategy to have. I know that Kirby Smart, his, the way that he scouts players, he learned that from Bill Belichick. Yep. And Bill Belichick's method of scouting players is

pick the guy with the biggest ass. Yeah. And so Kirby is recruiting guys with big asses. Now how he's drafting guys that Kirby has already been staring at their asses for three seasons. So the Eagles feel like that they made some good moves just by getting all those guys back to it. It's going to be tougher.

I guess Jalen hurts. He has a history with, with Georgia too as well, but just getting his ass kicked by them for a half. But I don't know if I, if I played for the Eagles and I wasn't Georgia Bulldog, I'd feel a little bit left out by now. Yeah. I mean, it is, it does feel like the Eagles won the draft again. None of this matters.

I, we were going to have our friend old takes exposed on before the draft, but obviously our schedule got pretty crazy. We, we, I think we should do a Mount Rushmore with him sometime this summer. But I was looking, he had a nice, he had a nice thread of post draft grades and everything. I'll just read a couple that are approved to everyone. Like what I would say to anyone who's a die hard fan of their team,

just go and find the best grade you can find and just go with that because it means nothing. And you have no idea how these guys are going to pan out. Obviously some of these drafts sucked. We won't know for a couple of years, but right now in the moment, like I know everyone is trashing the lions because yeah, probably picking a, a running back at 12 is a little weird, but you don't know how they're building the roster.

Like they could work out and they could look like geniuses just like picking Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner, Bruce Irvin worked out pretty well for the Seahawks, but here's a couple of funny ones. So in 2011, someone from Houston newspaper wrote, Texans will rue the night they took pizza boy JJ Watt over Nick Fairley, Houston lover. That's a pretty good one. There was one that was after the cowboys took Emmett Smith.

Emmett Smith should be a solid productive player, but he's no game breaker. He's what Herschel Walker has slumped into a plotting straight ahead type who won't outrun anyone. Turned out to have what? The most yards in NFL history. Yeah, of all time. Great off its line though.

Writer Greg Bedard wrote people are high on Arizona, Titan and Gronkowski. I don't see it at all. So there's, I mean, this one was from way, way back. Bruce Smith after he was selected by the bills. Bruce Smith, Virginia Tech. Smith is a happy go lucky guy who tends to be lazy. He also likes to eat.

That guy's in Canton now. So yeah, pretty much every, everything that happens after the draft is bullshit. There was a, he also included a Fox sports poll that said grade the pick Eagle select Jalen Hertz in the second round pick 53. It was 47% voted in F. So any, any draft instant reaction from the draft means nothing. So just tell yourself that you have high up, like the Bears draft. I basically was like, yeah, they got a couple guys who should be starters

and they have a lot of upside guys and they have guys that should fit Eberfluss's system. And that's all cliches and that's cliches for a reason because I have no fucking idea how it will go. The draft grades are so funny because they're just basically the guys that are in charge of their websites draft situation. Right. Grading teams on how smart they think they are themselves.

So it's, it's like, if you draft according to what I put on my big board, you're going to get a high grade. Right. And the people that are making these mock drafts are not NFL GMs for a reason because they're not that good at it. And so they're giving out awards based on how stupidly they would perform at the draft. So it's a big circle trick.

Everyone's, they're just jacking themselves off. Yeah. I do. That being said, I do have a baby Gronk alert. Oh, I think that we, I think I've got my guy that I'm going to be calling the next baby Gronk and it is another Georgia guy. It's Darnell Washington. I think that dude, he got drafted by the Steelers.

I think in three years we're going to be like, wow, we were all huge morons for not taking that guy higher because I know he's hurt. Yeah. I know he's been banged up and there was another great tight end that they had at Georgia that got caught out of a shitload of touchdowns and he's probably going to go in the first round next year. But Darnell Washington is an absolute freak. He's six seven, I think.

Yeah. And like 265 and every time I saw him playing college, I was like, this dude should be in the NFL when he was like 14 years old. This guy's a freak. Yeah. He's, he's a monster. It really is just his knees, but like Gronk, Gronk had the back injury and that's why he slipped.

I agree. I mean, he's going to be the, the, and his blocking is insane. So even if he's not a great, like he's not catching touchdowns and stuff, you could be right just by the fact that it's, I love an offense that has a tight end like that where it's like, yeah, we just have an extra lineman out there at all times. Yeah. He's sick. Also in other Georgia news, Stetson Bennett got drafted by the Rams.

Fourth round, fourth round. So congrats to Stetson, but I believe his former teammate, Matt Stafford, is the current quarterback. Yes. Yes. Yes. He actually, they, they, uh, I think shared a room fresh from year together. Yeah.

Um, the other, the other funny thing that happened right before the second round, my guy, Jim Ursay, owner of the Colts, I still have to buy Colts season tickets. I forgot about that when the, the commanders officially sell. My guy Jim Ursay tweeted out, just basically, what if we took Will Levis with our pick in the second round after they drafted Anthony Richardson? You have to imagine that Richardson was probably not that, not that psyched. But listen, Ursay is going to go Gremlin mode. You have to understand, the sooner you understand that, the better.

If you're Anthony Richardson, you're in a very unique situation with the unique owner. And the weird thing about it was, I thought to myself, I would probably do that. I would probably take a quarterback with every pick. Yeah. Until I found one that worked every year. Just get it, get a new quarterback. Because if you have a decent quarterback in the NFL, you're going to be good. And then you can, you can fill in the rest of the holes later.

And in a silver lining to Will Levis might be good that he got drafted the second round. We mentioned that you're going to be a free agent one year sooner. And he got drafted to a team with a better situation. I think the Titans, they looked like shit towards the end of the year. They've lost some of their playmakers. They don't have a lot of help on the outside. But they've got Derek Henry. You're going to be asked to run a shitload of play action.

Ryan Tannehill looked good in that system. If Will Levis just kind of fits into that mold and develops, he can develop a little bit slower than you would expect some other guys to. But Will Levis, since he's a second round pick, he'll have, he won't be expected to start necessarily in his first year unless Ryan Tannehill gets injured with. That's never happened. But it's a better situation.

Plus you have no state income tax in Tennessee. So congrats to Will Levis. You made a lot of money. Yeah. And I think the Titans drafted a ton of offense this year. So yeah, they drafted, they actually drafted only offense. So there you go. Running back tight end, two tackles, wide receiver.

So they're, they're trying to rebuild that side of the ball. So yeah, I mean, it sucked for him. It sucked that he was told to come to the draft and that he was going to be, you know, a high pick and it sucked to watch that on Thursday night for him. But at the end of the day, if he's good and he can prove that he's good, he will have the last laugh. And that's all that matters. Like it's, it's come out to him.

Erse also said that he would have taken him at four. The coach was taking him at four if Anthony Richardson was off the board. Damn, that, that actually is mean to say to Will Levis because he's like, yeah, how much money. Erse also, did he not say, should we do it like a Montana young situation? Just, just ignoring the fact that Montana was a Hall of Famer and it won many Super Bowls before Steve Young showed up. Yeah, that doesn't matter.

That doesn't matter. Big Cat, all he's saying is just you just have to take Jim Erse based on his vibes at the time. And his vibe was in the right place. There was, I actually have a hypothetical for you. It's kind of like a list of ranking because Bryce Young obviously taken first by the Panthers. The Panthers tweeted out on Friday, we've got our guy Bryce Young essentially. There's a picture of him and it said that he is one of them ones.

And that's a new term. That's a new term. And I thought that I had to update my big board in my power rankings on, on which one of these terms is the best. So right now I've got him, number one, I've got top two and not two, number two. I've got one of them ones, number three, goaded four, like that five, one of one, six, different seven. And then that dude is eight.

I think difference too low. So you think different, a little higher. So maybe we can flip one different. Yeah, built different too. Like that's, yeah, I think it's got to be a little bit higher, especially because it's used a lot more, which makes it funnier because not everyone can be built different. Although I guess everyone is built different technically, like DNA wise.

We're all snowflakes. Yeah. Yeah. Also one of them ones could be taken literally. There were 31 ones this year. Yeah, that's true. First round picks. Yeah, that's true.

So he is a lot of people who are, where number one. He's one of them ones. He's literally one of them ones. One of them ones. One of them ones. Yeah. Last two, I want to just share from old textbooks. I forgot these two, just Brown's edition from Brendan Bowers.

I don't know where you guys will be in 20 years, but I'll be in Canton for Trent Richardson's Hall of Fame speech. That one was great. And then Hugh Jackson on QB Cody Kessler in 2016. You have to just trust me on this one. Isn't that the meme like dude source dude, trust me. Yeah, just trust me on this one. Trust me on this one.

So yeah, the draft is fun. We love the draft. There will be teams that we look back and we're like, holy shit. They got all these guys. Hopefully it's your team. I'll say it right now. You listening right now, it's your team. It's specifically your team, except for the Packers.

It's not your team. Shout out, Sean Clifford, who had a bunch of tweets being like go bears, which I love that. And he also had the worst setup of anyone ever. They were projecting the draft on a yellow painted wall somewhere in state college for Sean Clifford's draft party. And he's on the Packers now. So I hate that stuff. Yeah.

Has there ever been a projection screen that actually delivers on what it promises to? Because I haven't seen it. It's yeah. It's basically if you have like a home movie theater, right? Like you have to have like perfect lighting and stuff. But I don't trust it. That's one technology that I never will trust. It's never going to work.

3D technology and sports will never work. But definitely the projection screen. That is every time I see one of those, I'm just like, give me a TV that's a quarter of that size and high definition. I'll watch that every time that I can. I can turn up the brightness when I'm watching Game of Thrones. Like give me that. Yes.

That's all I need. OK. One more nugget. Yeah. Wild meter. Joey Porter. Oh, yeah. First pick.

Yeah. Joey Porter on the Steelers. We called that, I think, on Thursday's show. Yeah. Like they had to do it. That was always, he was always going to be Steelers. If he was going to get drafted to another team, then the clock would just start on when he would sign with the Steelers as a free agent.

Yep. Yep. He had to do it. Oh, and also I love whenever a wide receiver QB combo gets drafted to the same team. So shout out the Chargers because they got Max Duggan and Quentin Johnson. So that's kind of cool because you just, it's the same way. It's the same way you do it when you're drafting your fantasy team. You're like, I'm going to draft the QB and the wide receiver from the same team.

That way, if they score, I get double the points and just completely eliminating from your mind that when you get to the playoffs and they get shut out in like a snow game, you lose. But that doesn't matter. It's fun. Yeah. They worked for the Colson. They got Andrew Luck and Kobe Fliener.

Yeah. They're roommates. Yes. Because they've got, they know each other better than they know themselves. Yeah. They're boys. OK. Before we do who's back, quick word from our friends at hymns and hers.

My who's back in the week is getting duped. Fake videos. Although I don't know if this is confirmed duped, but Travis Kelsey was at a concert. No, Billy got duped. Billy got duped. A lot of people did. Hard. Hard.

I'm hard. He was at a concert. He was holding what appeared to be the Lombardi Petrofi. I think anyone with a brain would have noticed it was fake. But he chugged the beer off it and then spiked it as hard as he could. And some people thought it was the real Lombardi trophy instead of disrespectful. I was shaking. If it was real, it would have been even the, you know, everyone was comparing.

He wants to be Gronk. Gronk was funny when he tried to, you know, bunch of baseball off it, but that was kind of incidental contact. He wasn't outwardly spiking the trophy, but it was pretty obviously fake. Very fake. And Billy said, yeah, going to be honest, this is disrespectful to the game. We also had the double the combo of a lot of people that got with the men's meeting. Will Compton and Billy football being like, this is fucked up.

No, no, no, no, no, no. As soon as that happened, I was like, okay. The thing is, it was probably his personal trophy that he was given. That's still like a real Lombardi. Every player gets a replica. What do you mean? What do you mean? Probably.

That to me sounds like it wasn't every player gets a replica. Yeah. I'm pretty sure. Really? That's how I look. Look, I was reading up on it. It was definitely a team issued. Like, like the teams usually give out a Lombardi to each player on the team.

Okay, I think that there's no. I think the team gets a replica that they get to keep. No, the team gets the actual one. Right. But this wasn't the actual 60 trophies. I don't think we know enough about the Lombardi trophies. No, we know that was not the Lombardi trophy. But do we know if it was a team issued trophy replica?

What does that mean? No, no, like they give out 60 like replica Lombardi's of the one that they won. They do? No. That's what I saw from the thing. No, really, I'm pretty sure. This is like from the thing. I saw it.

I was doing some research, some reply guy, reply guy research. Pretty sure. They give the team the replica trophy. And each team gets to keep a replica trophy in their trophy case. When Clark hunt. And then there's one. Max, say what you find. It says, no, players do not all receive their own Lombardi.

However, they are given a mini replica of the trophy. Yeah, so. But I think that's what he was chugging off of. But there's I still still if it's like imagine like, I don't know. Just was like growing up. Are you an exact size trophy? I think it's bigger. The one that Clark hunt.

The only reason I kind of in my head. Remember, this was Saturday night in my head. I we just seen Clark hunt come out. It was 537 p.m. that you treat. It was it was Saturday after five. So we're coming to Clark hunt dropped off the third trophy that they had in this whole ceremony. And in my head, I thought it was at the draft

and Travis Kelsey had the trophy that Clark hunted just brought out. So in my defense. But still, I know you grew up wanting to like win a Lombardi trophy. That was like aggressive towards the trophy. Like Gronk like also Gronk's Gronk. He like runs hard. Travis Kelsey like kind of avoids contact yards after catch jewels. You're you're on part.

You're on part of my take right now. We got a question for you. All right. Let's hear it. Does every player get a replica Lombardi trophy issued by the team when you win the Super Bowl? Have to buy it. Okay.

You have to buy it. But you can buy it. You can buy an actual size of the Tiffany's trophy. Okay. Because you saw the Travis Kelsey spiking it. Billy Billy was he didn't sleep after he saw this video. He said he football is basically ruined forever.

So we we were to explain to him that wasn't the real trophy, but it could be a replica that he bought. It could be a replica that he bought and then also does Billy know that it's a new trophy every year? It's not like like the Stanley Cup or anything. Yeah. Yeah. He says he knows that.

I know there's 56. Yeah. He knows there's 56. They just replace it. Have you bought any of the replicas? I haven't. I didn't buy a replica trophy. I guess I had the ring.

I was plenty of enough. Yeah. Do you guys buy the replicas? Some guys. I know some people that have bought it. Okay. Okay. All right.

Well, that helped a lot. Patrick Chung may have bought one. Okay. And Ninkovich is a guy that probably bought one too. Yeah. Can you still buy one? I don't know. So like right when they do like the ring sizing,

so right after you win the Super Bowl, you go back, you clear out the lockers, and then all the football operations, people are like chasing every guy before they leave to get ring size. And then you get ring size. And then there's also a catalog of everything that you can buy along with that.

Like I bought my mom a pendant. Got it. Or you go buy your dad, like your dad's something like a pen. There's a bunch of stuff that you can buy and the trophies on there as well. Okay. All right.

That clears it up. Thank you. So are you, do you think football can still exist after Travis Kelsey did that? Yeah, but didn't Gronk already do that? Yeah. Gronk, Gronk, Gronk dented one. But that was an accident.

But that was an accident. That was cool. All right. Well, thank you, Jules. We miss you. All right, boys. All right. See ya.

He threw the pitch. That dented. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. But so are you okay with knowing that this wasn't the real Lombardi? No. I think it's, I think Will Compton relates

because as someone that never got to do it. Because you guys don't have brains. No, no, no. Hey, hey, hey, so because like, I don't know. I've got nowhere close to professional football, but like. Will just saw your tweet and was like, oh, I can get numbers by jacking this tweet. That's exactly what happened.

Wait, wait, he jacked my tweet. When did he tweet? He tweeted after you. He jacked my tweet. He was being like, this is, the chiefs are cursed. Jesus. He really is jacking all his stuff. Yeah.

Well, yeah, well, I think, I think it was not a real. All right. Here's, here's a second question for you then, Billy. Brian Dable. Yes. Vaping or not? So I, there's a video from the war room of what appears people online are saying Brian Dable hitting like a weed pen.

What it looked like, but he was like eating a piece of beef jerky. Oh, so I was actually knowing how Brian Dable is. And he's a New Jersey resident. And if you've noticed in New Jersey bodegas recently, they got horny vapes. Do you think Brian Dable is going to bodegas? I have not noticed that. They, they have like this.

You think so? Yeah. I think he probably lives in a suburb and is not going to bodegas. I think he's going to Hoboken once in a while. Okay. Anyway, you go into these bodegas, they're trying to get you to try cratum. They're like, yo, check out these new vapes for getting horny.

And there's a guys and girls one. Yeah. So he was probably getting horny during the draft. And that's a very easy explainable thing. I thought it was, again, I watched both the videos. No, he was, he was eating something. Yeah. That it's, someone sees it online.

It's like, oh, look at Brian Dable hitting a weed pen. But I'm okay with that one. It's funny to imagine him hitting a weed pen in the draft room. But there's a 0.0% chance he was. McDaniels was 100% stone. I'm okay with that one. Some guys smoke weed and like help some focus. I don't understand those people.

I don't think NFL coaches are those people. Well, Mike McDaniel thinks the new breed. Yeah. Yeah. But you got to be careful, Billy. Just a little bit of coaching. When you say a hundred percent, that means a hundred percent. Listen, come on.

Billy's just shooting tweets off. We won't even talk about his Katrina tweet. Okay. For the amount of 9-11 jokes there are, New Orleans can deal with one Will Leviss Levy tweet. Like, come on. What was the tweet? Something about when you can't stop the rush,

can't have a Levy in New Orleans. He was, yeah. It was, I mean, I had no problem with it. Yeah. But there were some people. If PFT did it, it would have done numbers. Yeah. Oh, here we go.

I would never, I would never have done that joke. Not because of the distastefulness, because it didn't even work with Leviss and Levi's and Levy's. It's close enough, though. He had to edit it, too. This is what Billy does. The editing, the editing was like, When Billy gets in hot water about anything,

he's like, no, Will Compton did it. No, PFT would have done it. If he had done it, if this would have happened, if things would have happened completely differently, the people would have reacted completely differently. No, I'm using the new Twitter edit feature. So for people who like don't get the joke, they'll probably go look at the edited tweet and be like,

Oh, that's what it means. Listen, Billy, I had your back. I think that there is selective outrage online that you just got to ignore. I mean, I got outraged by the freaking trophy against Lance. Well, that was just stupid. I mean, I responded. I was like, I'm shaking because I saw it and I was shaking.

I just, I really, it kind of pissed me off. Because like, at least you didn't post it on any main social accounts, right? Who? We didn't post it on anything, right? No, we did. No, memes. Oh, yeah.

I mean, I mean, he's doing numbers. The real story is Travis Kelsey is kind of becoming a villain, which is good because Mahomes is incapable of being a villain. I still love Mahomes. He wins Super Bowl. Travis Kelsey will take that four. I have one other one. Someone else might have this.

So if you do, feel free to speak up. But Feel Good Stories was my other one. Drew Maggie, Pirate's Player. Yes. 33 years old in the minors for like 10 or 13 years or something. Something crazy. Finally got called up, got a single and a double. First hit was an RBI, got another at bat in the ninth, hit a double.

And then I was reading an article that said, that's probably going to be the only game he plays. Dude, he's betting 500. Keep him up. That's crazy. That also feel good story. The chiefs fan who got to present a pick was what's his name? Who goes James Drows?

James Drows. Yeah, that was awesome. He's the what happened kid. Yes. That was awesome, awesome moment. That's like those are the sports moments. You're like, this is why I fucking watch sports and go through all this pain because of moments like this.

This is cool. That was meme saying something that I have no idea what happened. I know who he's talking about. Yeah. Yeah. There we go. You never see that. One for me.

I need to I need to come back after the JZ. Boston Bruins. What happened? You just got me in real life. Damn. All right, PFT, your who's back. My who's back. That was awesome.

Max did it so well. Max, Max, use that confidence for the series. Yeah. No, the Sixers are going to win. I think Tobias Harris goes off for 30 tomorrow. OK, there we go. That's where we go. Put it in the sports book.

76ers. OK. PFT. My who's back is the NFL schedule because they did the release of the NFL schedule release today where Schefter said, hey, it's going to come out I think next Thursday. But I always love that day where we we get officially lead. The word is leaked to Adam Schefter,

who then leaks when the initial leak of the schedule is going to happen. So set your clocks. You're all going to go 11 and five. Maybe no. Wait. Sorry. 11 and six or 10 and seven next year. Or if you're still finer, if you're still finer,

everyone's going to go. What do you have like 10 and seven? Everyone going 10 and seven. Yeah, it could happen. You never know. So I also when I see this come out, I try to predict what the first game of the season is going to be when you look at which teams play which divisions next year.

I think I'm going to put my pin in this one. I think it's going to be the Eagles and the Jets. Oh, OK. To start the season. Either that or Chiefs Cowboys. It's always the winner. Yeah, it's usually the winner. OK, so in that case, play the Eagles next year.

Yeah, it's going to be a rematch. I think it's going to be Chiefs Cowboys then. We it's May 11th. May 11th, I think is the official date that they set. So get ready. I can't wait. My other who's back is the XFL because we've got our championship set up. DC defenders, Kings of the North going to the XFL championship game

that we've been just clamoring for. So it's going to be the DC defenders against the Arlington Renegades. I think that's what they are. I don't think they're Dallas anymore. So that's going to be a big matchup. These two teams don't like each other very much. Throw the record books out. My DC defenders in the national championship game for the XFL.

Pretty pumped about that. I'm looking at it right now. Oh, yeah. Excited. Excited for you, PFT. XFL, that was the XFL minute. I'm looking right now. The Chiefs actually have a loaded schedule to choose from.

It could be Chiefs Bills or Chiefs Bengals. So they play the Eagles, the Bengals, and the Bills at home. So could be any of those three games. If it's not going to be the Chiefs, is there any chance that it could be Bills, Bengals, the prayers for tomorrow game? I think it has to be Chiefs. They don't play the Cowboys, by the way. The Chiefs do not play the Cowboys.

I thought they did. I thought they do not. They're playing the NFC North and the Eagles and the Eagles because it's 17 games. So that's the only other NFC team they're playing. So we'll see. I think it's going to be probably Bills, right? I would guess Bills or Eagles would be electric. Yeah, yeah.

Because the Eagles have all the hype now from the off season. Yeah, that's true. Hopefully the field is in good shape so Max can't cry about it again. Well, obviously they wouldn't be playing in Phoenix. No, but they wouldn't be playing in Kansas City and the sod father might come back just to fuck over the Eagles one more time. Maybe. Now you're thinking about it, right?

Now you're thinking about it. I'm just thinking about tomorrow night. Okay. Tonight. Tonight. All right, my who's back. It was also going to be Billy's video with the Travis Kelsey. So I'll just say my who's back is me being old because I missed the Jay-Z lyrics.

So yeah, if those, I'm probably going to get a shitload of tweets about that. That's fine. I am an old guy, 38. PFT, have you had them? I didn't recognize it was a Jay-Z lyric right away. I just could tell from the way he wrote it that he wasn't original off. Yeah. Yeah.

I'll just think about it. I knew it was a lyric. I like Jay-Z. I don't know his lyrics by heart. PFT though, I want to say something scary that I just throw it out there. We're both like about to be 38 and a half. I feel like we're now have to start looking at what's coming up. Yeah.

What? 40. 40? Yeah. We're rounding the corner. Like I didn't think I'd start thinking about it till I turned 39, but I started thinking about it this past weekend and I was like, fuck, man.

Fuck. You know what happens when you're 40? Yeah. You get that. Yeah. You get the butt appointment. But I think they have, I think that my thought all along, I've been thinking about this since I was like 20 years old, that technology will get to a point where we don't have to do that.

I'm pretty sure they can do that exam now with like a laser. Okay. Well. Hmm. PFT, if they can't come up with something, maybe we just do the exam at the same time with the same doctor. With each other. Then it won't be sus.

Yeah. If we hold hands while we do it. Yeah. If you have a buddy. We'll do it for PMTV. Yeah. We'll do it. Yeah.

We'll put it on YouTube. We might even make a trip out of it. Like guys trip. It's perfect. We're going to do it. We'll do it the same. Maybe we won't do it in the same room. We'll do it the same day.

That's a promise to the listeners. A big 40 bash. Okay. Billy. My who's back is classical music. Might not sound like the most sexy thing. But apparently at the LA Philharmonic, a woman had an orgasm in the middle of Chukowski's Fifth Symphony.

Okay. Yeah. But it's on like apparently all these like orchestra nerds started tweeting about it. Like and they have it on. It's funny. Yeah. They have it on audio file.

It's actually really funny. I don't know how that happened scientifically. Redescribe the sound. It was a full body. Yeah. Do it. Show us. Yeah.

I can play it. No, no, no. Do a remix. I can play it. No. Do a Billy. No, I can't. Yeah.

There you go. Oh, by the way. Talking tennis. Whatever the brown noise is. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. I don't know how that happens. Apparently it was very moving.

Yeah. It's the G string vibrates in that high note. Oh, I forgot one other thing for my who's back. The the games in Mexico this weekend fucking ruled. I went for a legacy bet today. I don't know if you saw it. PFT, but the Giants and Padres played in Mexico City, which is 2000 feet higher than Denver.

And on Saturday, it was like a softball game. There were 11 home runs. It was 16 to 11 was the final score. The over under was 20 and a half today. I was like, let's do it. They didn't even come close. But they should play. Every team should have to play like a series in Mexico City,

because it was awesome. Yeah. And then we we bet the Mexico over. Yeah, every single one of those. I like the sombreros that they brought out. Yep. The Padres uniforms are sick. So I love those like the neon colors.

Yeah, the city connects. Mexico City is sneaky high. Yes, very high. All right, Jake, finish us off. My who's back is dodgeball. Oh, they're making a sequel with Vince Vaughn. Oh, so. OK, it's a great movie that everyone who listens to this

has seen and it's exciting. Yeah. Got my eye. It's tough though, like Anchorman to disappointment. Yeah. Yeah, no, it could flop. But like the excitement of it happening, we're all going to watch it.

Yeah. And if you don't command to is a big letdown. Just listen to Trey Wingo's podcast in 10 years. Yeah. Wayne's World 2 was the original letdown of those type of movies. Because they're just so good. Yeah. But I think having the original cast is huge.

That is a perfect movie. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Yeah. All right, Jake, I'll get into it. I'll go watch it with you. We'll watch it. Yeah.

Yeah. Maybe we'll do in the new office. We'll do a little dodgeball. Make a dodgeball week. Yeah. Whoever's making this movie do a fucking ad deal with us. That is perfect. We will play dodgeball.

20th century studios. That would actually be awesome if we played dodgeball. But the game was live for the entire week. So you could just peg people in the fucking face. Also, it's interesting. Because in the movie, headshots are legal. Yeah. No, headshots should always be legal.

If you're playing with, as long as you're not playing with hard balls, you should absolutely have headshots being legal. Especially if people are ducking and stuff, and they play cheap, and they put their head into it. They don't always soccer. It's also the balls that are fucking soccer balls. They're soft. No, were you guys playing in the rubber ball era?

Or the foam ball era? Latex. We didn't give a fuck about latex. Dude, I hate that and kickball when they're like, no headhunting. No, fuck yes, there's headhunting. That's the whole point. The balls are bouncy balls. Yeah.

Go right for that. I got into my first fight on the kickball field, because I threw out a guy and he ducked, and then he came over to me and pushed me. And then I got into a fight in fourth grade, and I had to be broken up in school suspension. But it was his fault. You can't duck a headshot.

You can't duck a body shot and turn it into a headshot, and then expect vengeance for it. It doesn't look like that. That's like targeting when they slow it down. It's like, well, the guy had nowhere to go. I was going full speed out there. It's really easy to see with the benefit of instant replay. Yeah, exactly.

OK, should we get to busing with the boys in studio? PFT, you've got a couple of ads, and then we will get to busing with the boys in studio. Yeah, before we get to busing with the boys, they're brought to you by our great friends at Chevy. You know we're truck guys through and through, and Chevy Silverado has been a partner with unstoppable grit and determination.

It's been our most valuable truck, our MVT. And now, the first ever all-electric Silverado joins the franchise. We got the chance to see this thing and experience it, and it is a game changer. It's available in 400-mile range and GM estimated on a full charge over 10 feet of length in the bed. They've got the multiplex tailgate combined

It turns heads. It's the best truck on the road. Chevy's the best car company on the road. Go to chevy.com, learn more, or go check out the truck for yourself at a dealership. And now, here's busing with the boys. Oh! Okay, we now welcome on very special guests,

good friends of ours, colleagues. It is Will Compton and Taylor Luan, busing with the boys in studio. Hello, boys. What are you going to do? You going to clap? Yeah. Yeah, clap it up.

Clap it up for yourself. Clap it up for yourself. Okay, so we're taping this hours before the NFL draft. Hours. We're going to run this on Monday. Let's start, though. Taylor, I want to hear, well, Will as well, your draft memories.

You got picked, what was it, 11th? The 11th. The 11th overall. Did you go to the draft? Yes, I was in Radio City. Okay, so talk us through that night, because we were talking to Carson Palmer the other day, and he actually, it was like 20 years ago,

so he signed his contract even before he got drafted, so he already, there was no, like, anticipation of what's going to happen. Were you going through the whole gambit of, I have no idea what's going to happen? Like, what did your agent tell you? How, when can you go? How late can you go?

All that stuff. They told me, like, the earliest I could go is two, because the Rams had two picks. They had number two pick and the 13th pick, and they ended up taking Greg Robinson, who's now in prison. Oh, win for Taylor. Win for so dub for me.

But to go back to, like, my draft night, I'd have to go back to the Monday before that Thursday night draft. That Monday, the Atlanta Falcons flew to my house and in Arizona, where I was staying, and they said, hey, if you're there at six, have your bags packed, be ready, and I'm thinking to myself, I will be there at six.

Now, who was this? Who came to your house? Dan Quinn? No, it wasn't Dan Quinn. It was one of the upper dudes that kind of was like the right-hand man of the right-hand man. Okay.

But they sent a flight. The guy literally, they had a jet that came down to my house and came and saw me, so I thought this is locked and sealed. And then during the draft week, I was talking to Jake Matthews, and I was like, where do you want to go? And he's kind of like putzing around

because he doesn't want to tell me. And eventually he tells me, I want to go to the Falcons. And I was like, yo, me too. So six comes around and the phone starts ringing and it's two tables down and it's Jake Matthews. And I was fucking, I was hot. I was hot for that. And another reason that happened on the red carpet,

but for the sake of time. What happened on the red carpet? It was Mother's Day. It was Mother's Day weekend. And so they wanted everybody with their mothers to walk down the red carpet. So my mom gets all dressed up. All the other moms are wearing their Sunday dress.

So my mom is wearing a shirt with cleavage, all of the cleavage showing. I'm gonna look at it real quick. And so I'm wearing. I might have had a tweet. Yeah, maybe. Okay. But we do the red carpet.

I'm feeling myself. I'm in a nice tan suit. I got the black color on there. I'm literally, this is the best I've ever felt in my entire life as far as looks go. And I get to the green room. I pull open the bird and I just, it's just constant tweets of,

hey, I want your mom to sit on my face. She looks good. I'm looking at it right now. She looks good. She knew what she was doing. She knew exactly what she was doing. She was single at the time too, I think newly single.

So she was, she was ready to find a shooter. But so I had to deal with that. So that's a little bit of adversity. Six came along, big time adversity. I ended up leaving. She's got the cross in there too. Yeah. She knows, she doesn't even go to church.

She doesn't even go to church. So that's. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. If anything, that's exactly the thing. She was doing her thing. She was doing her thing.

It was her drop by two. She was doing her thing. It's resting in between the two chiefs there. She gave birth to you. Yeah, it's her night. Yes. And so I ended up getting pick 11. And I was really upset at the time

because I thought there's no way I'm going to play. Dude, Michael Ruz was there. Michael Orr was there. They just signed Michael Orr before your deal. So I didn't really know what to think. And then obviously things ended up working out. Yeah. So it's all good.

You think that maybe if you had a more heartwarming story of high school, like maybe if your mom wasn't around, and then some family picked you up and kind of nursed you and trained you how to play football, you would have had that all the buzz. You would have gotten drafted instead of Michael Orr. Wait, PFT. What?

That kind of did happen. That kind of did happen. He did actually live with a different family in high school. I was. When you started that, I was like, I know he's doing Michael Orr. I don't think.

I know. I was smiling his ass off. All right. So that's my bad. Hand on. It's all good. That's his journalism. You should have just done your homework.

And since he's one of the shades, I couldn't tell. No, I do. I do right away. I do and then he didn't know. But follow up, Taylor. Why didn't Disney make a movie out of you? It's a good question. That is a good question.

White. There's enough. Whoa. There's enough movies of white. I was thinking it will just set. That's Will Compton there who said that. Will Compton said that. Will Compton said that.

Will Compton. We're like, Will Bill Eric. Billy, Billy, you saw Billy was shaking his head like absolutely as soon as he answered the question. Yes. But I mean, so after you get drafted, do you just go straight to a party? Yeah.

I went to my hotel room, a handful of people there, a lot of alcohol consumed. What else? A lot of extracurriculars consumed. And the next day I was on a Southwest flight. You were doing HCH that early? Yeah, it's funny. And then I was like C35 on a Southwest flight

from like LaGuardia to BNA. They didn't put you on the. No. Damn. Titans were rocking with those kinds of funds just yet. Amy Adams didn't really take over the franchise just yet. It was a dead franchise at the time, to say the least. Yeah.

Can I just say something? Go ahead. I'm looking at the draft order here. The Falcons fucked up. They should have taken you. Thank you. You can always say that. I'm looking at who was drafted around you.

I'm going through the top 10. Clowney, I would. That's like a toss up to me. You were Clowney, right? Yeah. Greg Robinson, I take you over here. I'm, as you mentioned, he's in prison. Blake Bortles, that was the correct text to Jaguar.

Steel. Absolutely fleece. They fleece the entire draft. Blake has one of the best interviews of all time with that woman. She's like, what would you be doing if you weren't? Yeah, yeah, Sophie Julie. Sophie, yeah, her.

Yeah. And him saying he would like wake up the morning, takes a piss, or he'd be doing construction and smoking cigarettes. And he's 100% serious. He's a legend. Dude, he retired on our show like six months ago because he had just forgotten to tell everyone that he retired. I remember we had him on and we were just like,

what are you up to? He's like, yeah. So I guess technically I did retire and he just didn't tell anyone. Really? Yeah. Just on. I think that's what the move. I think that's what a lot of people are doing is like kind of just like

sitting there and they're going to be like 15 years down the road and be like, yeah. And he said he's like, yeah, a bunch of teams reached out during training camp and he just he told his agent like, no, I think I'm retired. And he just never signed the papers. No, he signed the papers. He didn't tell anyone.

That's so funny. Yeah. That's so funny. It's perfect. Yeah. You had an overall pretty good draft night. I'd say going first round, you're happy. Your mom gets some camera time.

That's awesome. Will, what was your draft night like? I have to assume pretty glamorous. Had had some folks over. Yeah. It went about like anybody else sitting at home watching the draft. You see about 300 people get picked and then you wonder if the phone rings. But mine's like a casual person watching the draft.

You know, and that thing's probably going to happen. You're hopeful. Yeah. You're hopeful in day three. At the, at the time I was going into it and on NFL draft scout, I think I was, I believe I was a fifth round pick to PFA preferred free agent. Okay. So you're hopeful that like, you know,

you're going to get picked up in the fifth, sixth round. Once it gets to the seventh, you know, everybody is like a consensus out there that you rather be on draft to then go seventh round because seventh round is essentially an undrafted cat and you don't get to pick your destination. Right. And mine, I think I want to say mine was out of Chicago, Washington and Tampa. But then my agent just calls me and says, you're going to be a Washington Redskin.

Like there wasn't, I didn't really feel like I had the, I got the pickies. I, Hey, these are the teams that are interested. I was like, I mean, those would be sick. I'm kind of thinking about playing with Levante. Like, man, if I was like in the same locker room as Levante, that would be sick. Right. And then he, yeah. And then he calls and he's like, oh, you're going to be a Washington Redskin.

I was like, fuck, where is Washington? Oh, it's a DC, not the state of Washington. Capital of the town. Marshall Lynch, Marshall Lynch thought he was going to New York city when he went to Buffalo. All right. So honest question, well, because obviously you didn't get drafted, but was there a moment that you thought like, all right, this is me. Like, yeah, it's coming up right now.

Like round six round. That's kind of, that has to suck. Did you have a party? You didn't have a party. Well, it like, and where I'm from, you're always having like, our family's always having like a barbecue at get together. So there's, there was people over, there was people over. You, we can call it a party.

There was a number of people there. Multiple people were sitting grilling. My old man's grilling. We're kind of watching at one of my boys' basements. Is there Monarchs? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He is a legend. He was probably rocking.

I think he's like a new balancer Velcro. Sometimes he hits the Velcro shoes. Yeah. But yeah, there were a few times, literally day one, the chargers called me. What? That's like a prank. That's a prank.

They called me and they're like, hey, you know, I don't fucking remember what they said. I was just like, I couldn't believe that I was getting some phone call on day one. I was like, hang on. That's a different area to go. Hey, what's up? Well, you got the right number. And they talked about liking me.

I don't think for the high rounds. I think a lot of teams, they start doing their recruiting early. Right. But they, like the first pick in the second round was chargers. They ended up getting me and Tai Tao. OK. So then that one kind of goes off. And then there's, you know, you see like,

you start seeing guys that you feel like you're in the crowd. Better than, yeah. Yeah. And guys that you think you're better than go in like the seventh round. You're like, fuck me, man. Like, maybe I'm not who I think I am. But so yeah, there was definitely betterness when you're, when the draft ends and you're like, well, fuck, I guess.

Impostor syndrome is a real thing in the NFL. Yeah. Yeah. You really believe that. Didn't, well, we were talking about this in the bus the other day is like, when you're getting drafted, if you're in those later rounds, like that seventh round, you'd almost rather be a free agent. Right.

Because you can kind of pick best case, like best situation for yourself. So Will, did you, was there any moment when you're sitting there with everyone? Was there any person in your like draft party with quotation marks that was like kept on like being like, are you going to get it? Are you going to get it? Because I always think like those moments are like, get out of here. Like your second cousin.

Get the fuck out of here. My uncle, my uncle, Chris, he would just fucking ask, hey, who's that from? Who's that text from? And he's just like, shut the fuck up, man. I want to get drafted too. Trust me. I want to see my name run down on the ticket.

Very badly. That's like the, yeah. You're like, you want it more than anything. And then when it doesn't happen, you're like, motherfucker. Are you on the phone with the chargers and are people at the party at the cookout looking over at you? Like, no, no, no. This is the, since day three is on Saturday, like to get together.

Like nobody was over at the house on Thursday. I'm literally just watching. I think I made a couple of vines that day. Like fucking. It's a good day. Yeah. Yeah. I made a couple of vines.

Like I'm watching the first round like everybody else. Seeing who goes like I, that was the draft. I think Alec Ogletree with it was in. You're hoping backers go in the first round. So that way you're like fucking moving up the list. Right. So there was no, there was no party on day one or day two. Okay.

So let's rip the bandaid off. Tough question. If the big 10 championship game goes different, do you think you get drafted? I don't know, man, because that was that year. You know what I think goes different for me on getting drafted. I think if we didn't run, because coach bow, we, we, we essentially ran the same call every time as even double bracket, very much a very, a man oriented defense. I think if we spot dropped more, because I learned that I was solid at that

when I got in the NFL. I feel like if I was in a system where I was spot dropping a little bit more versus trying to cover some of these motherfuckers one-on-one, maybe, but who knows. But if I play that game, I think like I don't learn offense, defensive, terminology, schematics the way I did learning under Bo Polini. Because I feel like he's a mastermind at that stuff. Yeah. We've talked to Will before about like the moment that he realized that coming in as

an undrafted free agent, like I can actually do this. I feel like I can fit in. I can hold my own Taylor on your side. Was there ever a moment speaking of like imposter syndrome where you, you come in first round pick, highly touted, and you start to get to work and you have like a little bit of doubt, like, oh, shit, this is way harder than I thought it would be. I don't know if I can do this. I don't know if there's like anything like way harder than I thought it would be,

but the imposter syndrome of like coming in. Like I legit thought my first training camp, I might get cut and I had to like go. Which is crazy. Which as well as a first round pick, like you'd have to do so many bad things to get done. Yeah. Right. And I would talk to Michael Ruz and I'd be like, dude, what do you think?

Like you think I'm with the team or what? And he like laughing in my face. And so, and then even when you are playing, you're kind of always in this situation where you're like, when are people going to find out that I'm actually not as good as people think I am? And so you're all, it's a constant mental battle that you're always dealing with. There wasn't like one specific, I guess like the time I figured out I could play was my first start against the Jax.

Yeah. It was one of our two wins that year. So, so when all these guys get drafted and they go to the facility and then they're starting OTAs, how quickly on the other side? You guys obviously were in locker rooms for many years. What? 11 will? Yeah.

I think we're going up. What am I? You're on year 11. 10.2. 10.2. 11. Nine for you. Yes.

So, Will did actually beat you. Yes. Okay. Have you been talking in technical terms? Well, so you are retired. Yeah, basically. Huh? So, you're retired.

As of right now, he's beating me. Okay. All right. Got it. That was close. That was close. We almost let one loose. Thank God.

Yeah. I appreciate you catching that. Yeah. No, no, I got you. Taylor's still fielding calls. We don't know what's going to happen. Yeah, we don't know. Okay.

Tonight. So, yeah, tonight you might get called. We're going to redraft you. Could you get redrafted if you were super old, didn't have a contract? How does that work? Could you get drafted if you were never drafted? Like, could I still get drafted?

Oh, that would be sick. That's a good fucking question. My question was, so these guys all get in the facility, they start OTAs and everything. How quickly from the other side, when you guys were already established in the NFL, how quickly could you tell the guy we just drafted is real

or the guy we just drafted? That was like, we fucked up. I think it depends. It depends on the position. Yeah. Right? Well, tell me which position. Because this is fascinating.

Offensive line, offensive line, defensive line, linebacker. You're kind of waiting for pads to come on, because you can do anything in underwear. Like guys at OTAs, these are in shorts and shirts. They're doing drills. But as soon as pads come on,

you could tell almost instantly. In the first three, four days, you're going to figure out who's going to be here. That's awesome. And it looks way better outside of underwear. Yeah. Yeah. No.

Yeah. I would say Will. Yeah. Yeah. Not where. Will has always been a neck up guy. When Will's wearing anything except for underwear,

he looks way better. So we say about Will's ankles down, neck up. Ankle down. Yeah. So it's funny you say that, PFT, because the year that the catch happened when we got, I think it was 2014. So I think I started like five games.

That off season, I go in for the exit, for the exit meeting. And my coach, Coach K.O. Kirk Alvedotti, he's the linebacker coach for the Packers right now. But he was like, you know,

you have what it takes to be a starter in this league. And he's like, look, at the end of the day, you're going to win this job. And I fully expect you to win this job next year in training camp. Not in OTAs. You don't look prettier.

You don't move like everybody else. You're not the prettiest player in shorts and everything like that. But when we get the pads on, I fully expect you to win this job next year. And you're going to have every opportunity to do it. But don't be surprised if we end up drafting somebody. Oh, that's a good heads up.

It's so fucking strong. He's switched it. He sort of switched it where he's like, hey, we'll probably draft somebody. And then you're going to beat this guy. Just to not go in on him just being like, oh, and we're probably still going to draft somebody. It was more, I think I was asking.

He's like, you never know. We probably could draft somebody. But, you know, he's basically saying you have every opportunity to win, but it's not going to be in shorts. It's not going to be during OTAs next season. And I always trust people more when they tell me bad news because they're being honest with me.

They're not just telling me whatever it is I want to hear. So when coaches are like, very matter of fact, if they say something shitty about you, but also have something that says, like, I fully expect that you're going to win this job next year, then you know that they're being honest. And we know that you can like plan accordingly.

So, like the fact that you can figure out someone is a guy right away almost, right? With pads. Do you think that teams should maybe like have some of their best players look at guys, like in the meetings and stuff when they bring them in and have it like, did you ever get leaned on for? Talk about like draft.

Yeah, draft. Not all the way to Russell Wilson, who said that he watched every piece of tape for every quarterback ever in like two hours. But it's just, it always fascinated me because there's guys, you're doing it and you're doing it at a high level. Do you think there's any part of the guys

who are making decisions and want to be like, Hey, can you just take a look at this guy? Like, let me know what you think. Will you ever happen? I don't think I was ever in that position of drafting or like, do you think that should happen? Is a better question. I don't think that's fair unless you like the quarterback.

Like, hey, Peyton Manning, like come in here. What do you think? There's been a handful of guys that I've known of that have had that opportunity to go sit in and be like, what do you think of this guy? I've gotten texts from coaches being like, you know this person, yes or no. And if it's a yes, then they ask about the individual.

But I've never been asked to sit and watch a film with somebody. Okay. Do you think it would work or no? It depends on the individual. A guy like Ben Jones, the center for the Titans for the last seven years, that's a guy that could easily go and do that right now. And can like watch tape and be like, yep, that guy can help us.

He's like, good Ben, it does this, blah, blah, blah. Teachable skills. Yeah. Because I guess what it really comes down to is a lot of guys who are playing right now in the NFL will end up being scouts, you know, front office guys. Why not take advantage of that right now? Because maybe the player doesn't care

to give their honest opinion. Because what if it's a position? That's true. That's true. Or they have a friend that plays that position. Yeah. And they're trying to take that person. I think it happens more with like veterans and free agency.

Like, hey, if a coach is like, hey, I saw on this team with him, what's he like in the locker room, stuff like that. Right. That makes sense. Never like a film thing. That makes sense. Hey, Will, what do you think of this linebacker? You know, I don't think he's got a step on me

or anything like that. I'm just like a more brainpower. But more brainpower, you know? Like just get as many, you know, I guess that would probably also hurt you because you're in the war room and you have like 70 opinions on one guy. Probably paralysis by analysis.

I think being in the war room would be one of the coolest things to experience. Yeah. I want to be in the A war room. I don't care which one it is. Just to be like, I'm in the war room. Yeah. I would tell John Robinson about that all the time.

Like every draft, I'd be like, John, can I just like sit in there for the first round and he just cleanly tell me no. Yeah. But I would want to so bad. I think I would. I think I'd probably make a joke too early in the draft when it's still tense.

And then that would probably. You would definitely like the guy they wanted with the pick before. And you would be like, didn't we want him? Yeah. Like, oh, shit. Isn't that the guy we wanted? Yeah.

Did we want Justin Jefferson? Yeah. Fuck. Damn. Yeah. They'd be calling the guy on the phone and Big Cat would just be like, sorry, yeah, we were going to get the guy

but he got picked before. Yeah. But I'm really excited about you. Yeah. Well, you're fine. Yeah. Second choices work out. Or just ran out the like the O.C.,

the offensive coordinator like, hey, Coach, I thought you liked that guy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't want you, but I did. You're just telling me you wanted him over him. Yeah.

Yeah, like, did you tell me you didn't want this guy? Yeah. Did he suck? We're going to get back to the boys in a second. But before we do, they're brought to you by Game Time. Game Time is the exclusive ticketing partner of Barstool Sports. It was created by fans, for fans.

Well, did it ever get confusing in film study or anything when somebody would talk about linebackers and they'd say like, here's the will, and you'd be like, wait, is that me that they're talking about? It's just one of them just jokes that's like, once fresh or the very beginning of the year, like, oh, yeah, hey, Will, you're going to play the mic, but just don't listen to me when I say will.

Yeah. That probably, for your brain, that would be confusing. What, would it not? Like, hey, Will, we're just going to call you. Hey, neck up guys, neck up guys. We're just going to call you comp. Yeah, comp. That's a good nickname.

Patel, you end up going to Tennessee, no state income tax. That's kind of nice. Yeah, it's a dub you don't realize you're getting. Yeah. At the time. Me being a general studies major, I never really thought about finances or anything like that.

I thought, oh, bags are coming my way. Yeah. And then you start to realize that first tax season, you're like, holy shit, like, we had a huge win here. Yeah. So you get your first paychecks and your life changes because you're now, you're extremely wealthy. Yeah.

You're a young guy. Did you have like a finance dude ready to go, or are you just like, just like to deposit into the. I was ready to rip right away. I got all that stuff taken care of before. Did you buy anything cool? About a van's backpack. It had a bunch of quail on it.

It was like on sale for like $12.99. I remember that being my first purchase. Was it my bank account? You were dummy on eSpae. Yeah, like crazy. But I was like, I remember having, I was in camp. I signed two days before camp and like, it takes like three weeks or so for like everything to hit.

And my bank account, my Bank of America bank account at $12.50 in it. And I would check it after every single practice. And then one day Ken Wisenhunt takes us to the movie theater. Like instead of practice that day, spoiler, we actually ended up practicing that afternoon. I remember going to movie, hot dogs, now I'm eating crazy and I get back on the bus to go back

and like all of a sudden the things look like a phone number. And I was like, there was like a guy next to me who like legit was like, like, because I got drafted was probably going to get cut like one of those tackles. He actually wore 77. They just took it from him and gave it to me. And I was like, bro, check this out. I was just high.

I was just hype about the situation. I was so excited. Never seen that. Never even didn't know that kind of shit existed. And then all of a sudden it was there. It was fucking wild. Well, I bet you had a moment like not obviously first round money, but like you had a moment where you signed something.

You're like, okay, this is way better than I ever expected. Yeah. I mean, it's this is going to, I guess sound dumb, but, but also like my first practice squad check was $12,500. That's pretty sick. And I was like, yo, this is not a bad life. That's one fan's backpack. It's a lot of fans.

Like my first big purchase I was driving. It was always funny. The boys always church me for it, but I would drive this little Hyundai Sonata. And then like Trent Williams always had like the fucking. He had that shit. He had just a fleet of different vehicles he'd drive in. That's like, he uses like cars, like shoes, like every day.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Matches outfit type stuff. Yeah. God, that's so cool. That would be so awesome. Didn't you get body bags for like the suits you were wearing? Cause you went to like. My first time.

Joseph A bank got like buy one. So at the end of my P squad year, I got active for one game, the final game. So I got to travel. And so, you know, your boy Wayne coughed something. It was it, uh, Joseph A banks. Joseph A bank.

Yeah. Your boy Wayne coughed something. A little two for one. If you haven't gotten to Joseph A banks and like you haven't been, you know, that when you get the first Joseph A banks, like you get two suits for $500. Yeah. That's sick.

Mandatine. Yeah. And another rookie. I went with another rookie. We went shot because we were both active for that game. We're like, let's go buy something. We went to Joseph A bank and right when we walked on the flight, man, like, look at these two boys.

It was like two mannequins. You guys just say, Hey, we want that one to put it on us. That is the problem with Joseph A bank is you buy it and then everyone who's got a really, really nice custom suit, they know. Yeah, they know you're wearing Joseph A bank. That's a Joseph A bank. I was like, damn, is it really like that? I thought I was looking nice.

Yeah. Did they let you keep your jersey after that game? The first game that you were active? It's actually here. Yes. Oh, it is here in this office. Yeah. It's not in this office, but in my, uh, in my bag out there for you to,

for the, for the Washington pick. Oh, man. Number 53. That was my number 53. It was my first game war in Jersey because I've heard that they, they charge you for it sometimes if you give it away. I found the 53 one two years ago, this, uh, uh, press oppressed him. He's this guy who collects jerseys, big Tennessee Titans fan,

but he found mine on that. There's like some, you know, black market out there where you can just buy all these different game jerseys and he had mine 53 and he's like, Hey, I got this. Would you want it? Yeah. And I was like, bro, that'd be awesome. He's like, can I get one of your Titans jerseys?

I was like, yeah, I can do that. I would love to just have my jersey, but yeah, I'll trade you. But that's how I ended up getting it. But it is here. Can you power rank the jerseys that you looked the, the sweetest in? Like when you look at yourself before the game, do a little thirst trap. Yeah. What is real Compton look?

It's gotta be Raiders. Raiders is Raiders. Raiders is number one for sure. Raiders, Raiders 51, Raiders 57. Then I think it's practice squad. I think it's Titans, all Navy. Yeah. The Titans Navy.

And I would say 51 and 53. Yeah. I'd say, I'd say Washington Redskins were last. I always kind of hated our, our, our uniforms. The mustard pants. I was never a fan of them because we'd always have like the, the wrap around stripes. I never really liked that. And I don't think I was with it. Like I don't think I was with like, you know, swagging out and stuff before games.

I was just always so tunnel vision. Like, man, I hope I fucking play good. What about, what about Falcons for that tryout? You look good on that. Except for the couple of balls you dropped. The hard part. You did drop a couple of balls. I dropped one ball.

I saw it. No, it's one. Did they loop it back? Yeah. He looped it. That's a loop. That was so, Arthur Smith texting me in PFT, a video of Will Compton, dropping a ball in a tryout. Guys, is Arthur not a boy or what?

He's a boy. He's the best. Legit. We're in this. We can talk about it. We're in this group chat. It's me, PFT, Big Cat and Arthur. Arthur texted me one morning because you guys were chirping him about his chin.

This was two years ago, maybe? Yeah. Well, I mean, we were doing him a favor. Yeah, we were helping out a friend by telling him his chin is awful. I talked to you about being honest with people. Yeah. We were just being honest with folks. That's all.

We were making sure that get ahead of the story are the chin's a problem. We've got to fix this fast. And he looks good now, doesn't he? Yeah, he does. He looks great. And he texts me, he goes, Hey, put me in a group chat with PFT and Big Cat. And I just put lap out, okay.

Put us all in a group chat. We've had this group chat for the last couple of years now. And the whole, I feel like the entire thought of the tryout came from the group chat. Because we were trying to tell him how to beat the Rams. And it was like, hey, have somebody get, you got to get Aaron Donnell suspended, have him rip somebody's helmet off and beat him with it. And Aaron Donnell get thrown out of the game.

Will it fullback? Yeah. And PFT was like, seems like a job for fullback Willie and Arthur. Like, would you do that? I was like, yeah, he's like, could you do a workout right now? Like, are you in shape? But I was like, nothing that caffeine and tort all couldn't get me through. And then that next week is when they called.

They're like, bring me in for a tryout. Yeah. How funny is that? Yeah. He's the best. He's a great dude. And his chin has gotten so much better. Yeah, it has.

You guys did him a massive favor doing that. We did. Right. Exactly. Like we, because, you know, like you're the head coach of NFL team, probably a lot of guys in the facility who won't say, hey man, your chin looks like, you know, melted cream cheese. We will.

Yeah. And then you fix it. That's just being a good friend. That's a good friend. That's a good friend. That's a solid friend. The ones that'll tell you something's in your teeth. He had a booger in your nose.

I think we told him your chin looks like melted cream. Yeah. I think our first, we were like, Arthur, just, just become a like a COVID mask guy just forever. The last guy with the mask on. Super Lib. Yeah. Super Lib.

What if you said something like that to, to Vrabes? Do you think Vrabes would laugh it off? Or do you think Vrabes would actually like punch you? No. Something like what? You got a cream cheese trend? Yeah. Well, he doesn't.

He can. So don't say that. Why'd you say that? No, that was Will again. Mike has a strong chin. However, Mike has gotten comfortable from a weight standpoint. Yeah.

I could tell he's eating well. I mean, you're on your own. Oh, no. No. That's all right. He fired me. I can see this, dude. He has gotten a little comfortable, dude.

You see the vest gets, it's a size bigger every single year. Oh, no. That's all. Did he talk to you after you got cut? Did he reach out personally? Yeah. I sat in his office with him and ran. And what, but you knew it was coming.

Yeah. I knew the minute I had to get surgery the second, like that second week of the season, like it's over. Right. In my head, I'm like, they should probably should have cut me last year. Yeah. You know, they made a big mistake.

Have you recovered from the graphic that Bezos put out? No. Where it was the Amazon graphic. You were in a wheelchair. Yeah. And your friend, Ben, the center, he had like the cartoon like wrap around his head with like a big bump and birds flying around his head.

Yeah. That's something you just can't recover from. But Amazon, I don't know if Jeff Bezos specifically, but Amazon reached out to the Titans like to apologize and wanted my number. And I was like, do not give them my number. I want to keep wearing this for a while. Yeah.

That thing still pops up every single day. Do me in that damn wheelchair. That's a tough look. It's a bad Photoshop too. But in the content world, if you have something that people can just pick on you, that's like a win. The worst part was I was with all of you in that bar in Arizona.

And we just saw it. So we saw it live. Yeah. We saw it like, oh, oh, I didn't see the wheelchair for us. I was like, oh, I'm on the TV. I look good. And then all of a sudden my phone's blowing up and I'm just getting bodied on the internet.

It's like, I deserve this. So what do you guys have been at parcel now for what? Two years? I think we're going to have three. Three? We're going to have three. Yeah. Three.

It was three in February. How's the content world working? Are you guys, is it everything you thought it would crack up to be? Or is it like, what are the pitfalls? What are you? I love it. I think it's more.

It's better than we thought it would be. Yeah. Yeah. It's been a blast. Have you stayed? I saw you got into it a little bit the other day, Will. We do. With the guy who made the joke about doing

a podcast on an airplane. You called him poor. Flying with the fellas. Yeah. You called him poor and there's a lot of people. I was actually talking with Taylor about that. I was like, yeah, like, you know, number one, you're not going to hit every joke.

No. And there's times, you know, you either don't drink coffee in the morning or you just roll out of bed. Just on the wrong side. Yeah. We all have bad days. Yeah. And you, except Taylor, he has no bad days.

When you look at the content world, it's not usually, you know, tasteful to go, to go at people when it comes to money. Yeah. Especially you're making so much. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Will does really well. Well, no, you know what it is, Will? Honestly, you can do it, but you have to be that guy all the time. Like Dave doesn't. Correct. But Dave is that guy. Right.

Right, right, right. Like he has no problem. Yeah. He doesn't apologize for it. And he's like, I got rich. Right. I'm rich now. Right.

Because I usually try to find a fun way to chirp back at people. Because it's not like he said anything. That person said anything that bad. I just felt like the shot he was taking, like, oh, this white linebacker who comes in, Dylan Radon's like, they're both going to, they're both going to, they're both going to suck.

And then they can do a podcast together. That's like how I read it in my head at the time. Yeah. I can't believe I caught strays with that. Did you? Well, they're both going to suck. Yeah. That's the tough L to take, dude.

Shit. Taylor, I've been meaning to ask you about this because we were watching, I think it was the college semi-final game. I want to say it was TCU, that game. Yeah, TCU versus Michigan. Michigan. Yeah, you were on the sidelines for that on ESPN, right?

ESPN too, yeah. ESPN too. It wasn't ESPN. Our friend, Cole Kubalic was down there. He's the man. We love Cole. Love Cole. And RG3 was with you.

We haven't got a chance to meet RG3. He has an open invite on this podcast. We hope to have him on soon. But RG3 had to leave at the very start of the second half because his wife was in labor. And he waited until the cameras came back on to show everybody his phone and be like, I got to go. And you guys were like, oh, shit.

RG3's wife is in labor. Then she didn't have a baby for like a month after he left. Yeah. Did he leave you high and dry? Do you think that he was playing hooky? Do you think he left you guys to finish the game on your own? I think privacy is a place for everybody. Maybe he didn't want to let everybody know

for the first month about their kid. Oh. Maybe. Maybe that was real. Maybe it wasn't, though. Maybe he told a group of individuals at halftime that he had to make a Southwest flight because he booked the wrong flight in the next two hours

and he had to leave 30 minutes into the third quarter. Maybe he would much rather be in a situation where his wife calls him and he has to leave. I don't know. I don't know his truth. But I think he should come on this podcast and explain it. He should discuss. Because I think that was also the day

where every Southwest Airlines flight got grounded all across the country. He also did a genius job of like, because you guys know fathers like the pregnant wife thing, like we were sitting here being like, we want to call him out. But that's a touchy situation. Yeah.

So we like, he totally disarmed us. Like we can't be like start running around the internet being like, show us the baby. Yeah. Show us the baby. Yeah. Like that's a good, good L that you're going to catch right away. That's a big L.

Yeah. But that's a good awareness for you to know that. Yeah. A lot of guys wouldn't see that. No, we kept that in the locker room. Yeah. That's good. There's certain takes you have to keep in the locker room

and not put out there for the public. Do you guys have anything that, like any takes you guys have been privately discussing? Any of those takes would probably stay private in the locker room. Too hot for the air. Well, you were telling me one earlier, right Taylor? What was that? You were saying the thing about players in the NFL

and drug use? No. Oh, you weren't okay. No, I wasn't saying anything. You said something about who's that white quarterback that you weren't a huge fan of in the draft? No. You said you didn't like him.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was no, that was. Kentucky. I know for sure it was Kentucky. Painter from Fresno State. That's what I love.

You said something about a guy. Yeah. You just weren't a big fan. No, I actually said, let's be nice to Will Levis because he's a huge stoolie. Okay. That's what you said. Yeah.

And you said, I don't give a fuck. Nope. Didn't say that. I was like, I don't care about any stoolies. You said that. You're like, I don't give a fuck. You said, what did Michael Rapport say? He doesn't give a fuck about stoolies?

I feel the same way. That's what you said. That's all I said. What I said was. You said stoolies where I come from. That means that you're a snitch. Yeah. And you put mayonnaise in your coffee.

You just can't be a trustworthy individual. No, okay. And I hope the times don't take that. All right. So this is where there's a disconnect here because I think Will Levis is already in the content game. Yeah. He's good at it.

Like that's that's something I'm seeing Will Levis and I'm drafting him not only for his quarterback play, but for his future ability as a podcaster. That's a that's a big one. Now is the team going to get a percentage, a cut of that podcast revenue? You could, if he started the podcast while he was playing for the team

and the team helped to put it out, I think that a smart organization would be like, we're going to take some of the ads and then you're going to get, maybe that circumvents the cap a little bit. If you're just, if he's working for like the team media department, you can pay him more money for his podcast. Yeah.

That's, that's a big brain thought. That is a big brain thought. You know, he's not, if there's a situation, he's not really paying out well, you know, we're driving some good revenue over here. So at least that kind of offset the cost. Winning off the field. Now like our friend Bruce Allen used to say.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say I've changed my mind completely about Will Levis. There we go. Good, good. I think he, I think he's going to be maybe a haul, he's probably going to be a haul famer. Yeah, yeah. A haul fam person as well.

Now, what if we said that he was going to maybe do a podcast at Barstool Sports and take over for two other guys who played in the NFL. Will, let me walk you through this. Will Levis is going to be richer than you after tonight. You can't call him poor. What's the next thing we say? He's actually thinking of something mean to say. You guys want to talk some big 10 football?

Let's talk about big 10 football. Let's talk some big 10 football. Let's do it. We're going to start. Do you think Nebraska has any Taylor? Yes. This is, this is crazy. All right, these questions will.

Yeah, he is crazy that he thinks. He thinks that then that Matt rule is the answer here. Yeah. I think here's what I know after talking with the people at the upper, the upper whatever upstairs of Nebraska, they had two coaching candidates that they were massive fans of and they realized that one was going to be a head and shoulders above the other. And one was Luke fickle.

Was it Luke fickle? Yeah, rule. And they once they found out the caliber that which guy can get to the highest of the program, they chose Matt rule. Right. I do believe three to five years from now, Nebraska is playing for big 10 championship. Okay. So Luke fickle, the guy who's actually been to the college football playoff.

Yeah. And also Luke fickle was hired before Matt rule. So that feels like. We're talking about at Cincinnati. Yeah. Well, no, no. Yeah, exactly. You guys realized that.

Luke fickle was told no. I was told he was told no. Easy schedule. You guys realized that going to the college football playoff at Cincinnati is way harder. Yeah. But all you got to do is win your game like it's. You have to win every game. Easy schedule.

Easy schedule. Easy schedule. They scheduled somebody hard the year that they made it. Yeah, they far right. They beat Notre Dame. Notre Dame's not them. Oh, okay. Okay.

Well, it did be what year is this? This is what 2019. No, Notre Dame's probably the most fraudulent school. And if the brass guys. Let's let's talk about it. Let's talk about Taylor Notre Dame three and nine that year. That was the greatest. That was that was the year that they probably big cat.

They went three and nine. Yeah. On our schedule, if we're on Cincinnati schedule, we win that outright. No chance. We're in the college football playoff. Yeah. Well, Taylor, let's talk about that. I was really hoping that brush over PSD.

You said you said Notre Dame is the most fraudulent school in college football. 20. I would say it's close. Why are you looking at me Notre Dame? I'm just looking for a little help out here. No, that's no, that's Texas. It's bold state. No, Texas is going to be back, dude.

They have the Manning kid. Notre Dame has like they've they've been in the mix every single year. They haven't won the title. They need that one difference maker at quarter. Who do they play every year besides USC? I mean, they play. They usually play a good out of conference. Like they played Ohio State last year.

Ohio State is not that good anymore, dude. They're way past their prime. What? I've been to the facilities. I've seen those players. Oh, yeah. I forgot Michigan. OK.

Yeah. I've seen those players. Yeah. No, they're definitely not keeping up with those facilities over there. Yeah. We they had like a giant dunk tank, basically an isolation chamber that you could go into and just recover at like 10 times the normal speed. Who?

Ohio State. We didn't see that. We were there. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think we didn't see that. We didn't see that. We were on the urban.

We didn't get to see all of the facilities. We did a tour of Ohio State facilities and we got like halfway through. And I was like, where's Urban Meyers contract that he wrote to his family saying like he cares about them more than football. And and the guy giving us a tour like was like, this tour is over. He like didn't talk to us at the time. Oh, really? Yeah.

He was like, oh my god. What actually happened, we were in his office and they're showing us around his office and he's got the contract. Yeah. I was right. And then and then Big Cat goes up to you guys. This is the contract. He has like a fake heart attack contract.

And he started taking a picture of it. And then I heard one of the guys whisper to the other coach that was giving us a tour like they're making fun of coach's contract. And then and then they reacted like he was a cult leader. Yeah. Like we need to extricate these these gentlemen from this. He's had to make a contract to say that he loves his family and I was the weird one. Yeah.

I do think there's an argument. I think there's an argument. This is going to be this is going to be painful. But I think there's an argument that Michigan is the most fraudulent team in college. Oh, all right. So off that, Taylor. Yeah.

Last year you go to the college football player for the second year in a row. We yeah, we went to it. But let's remember that we went to it. You went to it. But it was a failure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It was a failure. It was a failure. Michigan lost that game. Michigan lost that game. TCU did not win that game. OK. But still TCU won the game. TCU had a higher score at the end of the game.

Let me see. Wait. Who had more points? TCU. So do they win or lose? Yeah, they won. But I'm saying Michigan. This is like our Max debate.

Max says that the Phillies didn't get no hit in the World Series. Michigan has better talent and should have won that game. They have better coaches as well. However, there are miscues. We had a pick six. There is a quarterback running back exchange issue at the goal line. That should have been called a touchdown in the first place. After there's an interception, you guys didn't even sniff that.

I'm saying when you say we had more talent and we should have won that game. And we have better coaches. It's the loser's fault. And you're right. You're right. We didn't sniff the big 10. But we're not saying we're good.

Right. That's what I'm saying. There's an argument for going forward. We're climbing the mountain. We are a top four program in all of college football sports. Some are saying Michigan's on the other side of the mountain and they never got to the top. That's ridiculous to say.

We're on the climb. William and I are on the climb. Have you seen their recent recruiting class? OK. They're number one. They're over Ohio State. They're over Georgia. So they should win all their games, especially against TCU?

I'm just saying they're just reloading over and over again. OK. Here's the answer. They're number one right now, early in the recruiting process. That's all right. That's OK. What does that get you if you're number one recruiting? A lot of opportunity.

It actually gives you the opportunity when you lose in the college football playoff to TCU. And we have the best. We have more talent. We have better coaches. We have the best strength staff. We have the best strength staff. We have the best coaching staff.

And these guys are going to develop these players. We're going to win that. It's huge. It's huge. The next three years. It's huge. It's huge. And when Harbaugh leaves, when Harbaugh does that,

oh, I'm going to leave, blah, blah, blah. And he finally goes in two, three years. The O-line coach, Charon Moore. He will be the head coach of the University of Michigan. He will take them to the pinnacle as well. But what you're also saying is by having, by far and away, the best recruiting class, if you don't win the national championship

in the next two years, it's the biggest disappointment of all time. Three years. But yeah, I'm willing to look into the future like that with you. So what happens if they don't win within three years? What do you put some stakes on? Then what do you want us to put on it?

Soul Patch. You got to fire the entire staff. You got to rock Soul Patch for a year. Yeah, Soul Patch. I don't think I can even make it. You look good in a Soul Patch. You look like the guy from Smash Mouth. No, I don't.

I'm not a Soul Patch guy. Smash Mouth is a good pull, by the way. That's a great pull. I think you'd be a Soul Patch guy. Yeah, don't discount yourself like that. No, I'm not going to do that. Let's do something else like mine. You're big enough to be a Soul Patch guy.

If you're a large man and you have a Soul Patch, you're like, that guy plays base in a new level. I'm not feeling it as if it's actually going to just grow on me right now. Would you say that Michigan should fire their entire staff or they wouldn't know it? No, I'm not going to say that either. Well, they've got the number one recruit class in the country.

Right now? But right now they do. It's really the recruit class. The expectations have been raised. You beat the shit out of Ohio State last two years. Twice. Twice. The first year that you did it, that was kind of it.

Like you had to beat Ohio State. You did it. Now you have to start going deeper. It's been progressive steps every single year. Well, no, last year was lateral. No, no, no. The next year it's, hey, can you beat Ohio State in Columbus the first time in 20 years?

Did that, won the Big Ten championship outright again. Now the next hurdle is just get to that final two. If they get to the final two next year, I'm happy. If they don't, I'm willing to put something on it, but a Soul Patch, listen, that's a life-changing experience. Yeah, well, I mean, you have improved. It's not necessarily lateral because you didn't lose by 70 this time. Yeah.

Yeah. Ohio State. And they also kind of should have won. It should have been an all Big Ten. It should have been an all Big Ten national championship. Yeah. That would have been so incredible. That would have been so dope.

Who would you have gone for? I would have, I would have been happy. I would have been like, look, hang a banner. Big Ten won. Big Ten won. No matter what. So yeah, when we were talking, when was that? We're last year, all of us.

It was right before. Like Friday. It was Black Friday. It was Black Friday. We were talking about how? We were talking to Big Ed, right? He's got a roof for Michigan. Yeah, he's got a roof.

He just said he wouldn't. You got to come together to be the White Walkers. Well, what he doesn't realize is that you, in a situation like that, if Michigan had gone to the national championship, it's a win-win as long as you just have your spin zone hat on. Yeah. Because if Michigan wins, I would have been like,

Big Ten all the way. And if Michigan loses, I'd be like, Dave, you're a loser. Yeah. And you can find your way out in one of those situations. No matter what. Right. So you got to set yourself up with it, though, with the groundwork.

Big Ed, they realized that. You seem like a big insurance policy. Yeah, right. Exactly. You've always got to tell me about pocket. Listen, when? You always got to see a glass half full. Right.

Like, I'm going to find my way out of this. Right. Would you rather lose in the semifinal game or get to the finals and lose and get blown out like TCU did? Oh, I'd get to the finals. Because that one week of optimism is going to be so amazing. It's like getting, it's like the second weekend of March Madness.

But it is important to just always have yourself, like every bull season, I'll always tweet out the records, the first weekend, when Illinois beats someone. And SEC hasn't played yet. And I'm like, SEC, no wins. You just got to get it when the going's good. And then when the going goes bad, you just disappear and say, I never said that.

I never said any of that. That's a big thing about the internet, dude. Big 10 Cat, I don't know who that guy is. Big 10's always hot at the beginning of both seasons. Dude, I know it. Believe me, I'm tweeting like mad. I'm changing my Twitter handle. I'm doing all the shit.

And then when shit starts to go south, it's like, we're focused on the NFL playoffs. What are we talking about here? College football season's over. But I think I think Michigan, I think Michigan wins it next year. It's done great with the transfer portal. If had good players come in,

a running back stayed that J.J. McCarthy. He's back. He's now got that experience. Oh, yeah, you want him back. Absolutely. Kids are stud. It's first time. First time.

He's going to win the whole thing next year. OK, football school officially. Oh, it's been a football school. Never winning his program in college football history. It was never once a basketball school. I know when I when I was there, it was definitely a basketball school. Yeah, when I was there,

it was everything but football school. And they are the winning his program. Our softball team ripped. Our basketball team ripped. Hockey team was in the frozen four, like three out of the four years. And in Michigan was smarter than everyone else because like in the early 1900s,

they just invited like the local YMCA to Ann Arbor. The University of Chicago. Beat them. And then they're like, look, another another win for the boys. Didn't they teach them how to play football? Yeah. There were a couple of teams where they're YMCA. They brought them in and they taught you like,

here's this sport that's taking over America. We're going to practice with you for two days, show you how to how to play the game. And then we're going to play you and beat you by two. And call it a title. Call it a national title. Yeah. They don't ask Cal.

They ask how many boys. That's all they do. I actually want to look it up real quick. 1902, Michigan. Let's just pick a random year. You you've already had this thing. No, no, no, no, no. I'm just picking a random year.

Michigan dominated the 50s. That was like their last time that they like dominated it. 97. We won a national championship. You shared a national title in week. Week one 1902. They beat a school called Albion. Yeah.

88 to nothing. They were very good. Hey, I do. I want to I want to ask a question. Throughout the record books with Michigan and Albion. Yeah. No love loss. Taylor don't say anything.

OK. And always they beat Buffalo non-major, which I think was just dudes from Buffalo. 128 to nothing in 1901. That's a kind of firepower. We got to get back to those good old days. Get back to that, Michigan. Let's do that again.

Go ahead. All right. Here's the question. And I would like everybody to answer too. So that way we get a majority vote. If you win a national title and you shared it, would you rather have the coaches national title or the AP national title?

Oh, good question. Good question. Go ahead, Billy. I respect the bids. Coaches? No. OK. Everybody can have their own vote.

Yeah. AP. Coaches. I'd take AP. I'd go coaches. Three to three. Oh, shit. I'd take AP.

And here's why. Because when they talk about it, who do you want writing the history of who won that national title? The journalists. They're going to be like our team. They're going to go with the AP vote as opposed to the coaches. You really went 3-3?

You guys should just split it. This hypothetical. The hypothetical. You should split it because that never happened. Nebraska won the coaches poll or when the coach won. No, I know. I know. Yeah.

I knew what the question was. OK. 1997. Yeah. The thing about Michigan, too, is Michigan has this. The AP is a wooden trophy. I know what you're saying. Yes.

You got the nice. I know. It sucks. If you don't go to Michigan, usually people hate Michigan because they literally have it and they're sawing the leaders and best. I understand why they want the coaches felt some type of way and let Nebraska have that championship.

Do you actually think people hate Michigan? I don't think about them at all. When they get good. You do. Don't do that. You think about them every day. No, I don't. I don't feel strongly one way.

Like I would have been fine with Michigan winning the national championship this year, but I wouldn't have. You know what? I really I wanted them to win it last year when the big dogs showed up. What were they wearing? They're just the run the damn ball shirts.

Yeah. And then they just couldn't run the ball at all. That was a tough look. Yeah, they had a whole NFL game on the Georgia. No, I think Michigan and Michigan when they're good is hateable because they're elitists. Ohio State, when they're good, they're like scumbags and they just beat the fuck out of you.

It's a very different hate for everyone else in the big 10. I would say. Wouldn't you agree? Well, yeah, I would agree with that. Yeah. How is Michigan elitist? Well, I mean, you just said, you just literally said they were leaders.

But if you're saying like I would say, we but we run it down people's throats, dude. We run the day. Michigan. No, I understand. I love Jim Harbaugh. I'm a I've been a Jim Harbaugh fan for a very long time. I love him.

So it definitely dulls it for me where I'm like, I want him to be successful. But then I think I'm more award winner. First time ever in NCA history. That's not elitist, dude. That's just grit and determination. But I think what PFT is saying is like, when you just think of the brand of Michigan overall,

you feel like when they're winning, you're like, oh, all these Harvard Harvard Midwest. All these preppy kids. Yeah, I know. I know what he was saying, Will. And it's unfortunate, but it is kind of true. Will, would you have wanted Urban Meyer? Do what?

At Nebraska? Yeah. No. Yeah. You would have wanted. You would have wanted. Guarantee national title. A lot of blondes in Nebraska.

That would have been a guarantee. Yeah, he wouldn't have made it a week there, dude. Yeah, Urban probably would have left. You know what I mean? There's not enough action going on out there. All there is in Nebraska is denim jeans and blondes. Here's one for you, Taylor. October 15th, 1896.

Michigan won 28-nothing. Who did they play? 1896? Yeah. Yale. They played a school called Physicians and Surgeons. Yep. They just got a bunch of will confidence.

They got a lot of lab coats in that armor. They're like, get on down here. Yeah, hell yeah. They just throw them the ball and light them up. That seems like a trap game, though. 28. You probably didn't cover the spread in that one. Yeah, no, definitely not.

Probably not that time. It's a trap game. It is funny, because obviously they were playing football, so you can't really hate on them, but it's just funny to look at some of the names. It's so funny. It's just like, who the fuck? It's not even a school.

What was the name of that school again? Physicians and Surgeons. Physicians and Surgeons. Yeah, that's fucking wild. Invited the medical school to come down and get their ass kicked. That's wild. Good for them, dude, to see, like, they literally saw 200 years in the future.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, you can't really hate it. It's just more funny to look back and be like, who the fuck did they play? Dude, that's why it's a top 15 public school in the world. Like, they just think like that. They understand. So that means you're number 15 when you say top 15.

Nope. I was top 15 pick. 1895 against the Detroit Athletic Club. There it is. Yeah, that's why I'm saying it was 18. Imagine how sick that would have been to be on that Michigan team. Who we got this week, boys?

We got the school teachers. Yeah, we just found these guys down the street. They don't know how to play the game. Yeah. Hell, yeah, boys. Let's take care of them. So much fucking fun. Dude, that would be a hilarious movie,

like a Will Ferrell doing that movie. That's when they invent the forward pass or something like that. Teddy Roosevelt has to step in. That's probably why he stepped in at that point, to make football safer, because you guys were just killing people on the football field. He was just, hey, let's go back then, man. Will, you're 10.2, loading.

Correct. We're loading it, right? Always loading. Did you get any calls from XFL teams? No, man. You know, I tried pursuing the XFL. That's not true. You had a couple DMs, didn't you?

I got DMs, no phone calls. Yeah, I did have a DM. That's brutal. Because when I showed the DM, when I showed that public DM, the guy who was working that account was like, hey, do you mind asking Will if he can delete that? Like, I don't want that to get back to me, and then I get fired. And I'm like, oh, hey, it's free content right now, brother.

Yeah, gotta live with that. And my offer was I'll play in the XFL if we can get the rock on the podcast, if the rock will come on the bus. You know what I mean? Fair. Don't you think? Yeah, that's reasonable.

Did he get back to you? No, we didn't hear anything. I would like to publicly sweeten that pot, too. If the rock comes on our podcast, I will also play on the XFL. Oh, wow. Yeah, different team than Will, though. Are you going to play offensive line or tight end? You don't want to play on the same team?

No, I do, but I want to beat you again. So you're not retired? That was really mean. I probably played tight end. You beat me. I played tight end. You beat me. Never.

What? No, once. I beat you once when you were in the Raiders. You beat me twice. No, Michigan. Oh, yeah. Michigan, Nebraska. I'm two and two.

We're two and two. Yeah, we're 500 against each other. It's just split a trophy. But then if you go into, well, if you go the bus and bowl. Oh, yeah. I'm three and two against you. And that is sure if you go bus and bowl. That is very Michigan of you to invent a trophy to just win it every year.

I was doing a solid for my friend, making sure his school made it to a bowl game that year. Nebraska. That was me doing the best I could to help us team out. In their worst stretch ever. It's like, yeah, you know what? Let's fucking win this trophy. Yeah, yeah.

It's official. The, like, I want to say Nebraska up in the press box called down like, hey, we don't want no ceremony going on here. We didn't agree to this. So we did not agree to this. Yeah. We created a bowl game and the FAU actually put the trophy in their trophy case. Western Kentucky.

Yeah. They played. Do they play a field? They played down in Boca Raton. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Did you guys go to the bus and we sent Caleb on the field.

He actually got to interview with the coach like right after the game. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. He was like anyone. He wasn't credentialed or anything. He just jumped on the field and then he got kicked off the field. Michigan there. They're freaking supporting it.

Yeah. They're showing it off. It's right next to the Paul Bunyan trophy, the Brown Jug, all that. It's in that trophy case. Oh, little breaking news. Ravens have agreed to terms with Lamar Jackson. Good.

I didn't want him anyways. Fuck him. What was the number? I don't know. Who cares? What was the number? Too much. Too much.

Overrated. He's a running back. He's running back. Don't say that. That happens to play quarterback. Don't say that. Why would you ever want to agree to a long-term deal with him as your quarterback? Overrated.

Fleeced. Lamar Jackson flees the Ravens. Are you projecting right now in real time? No. I don't even know what that means. Seriously. Lamar Jackson, he's coming off of like eight bouts of IBS. His intestines are falling out of his butthole every week.

He can't throw a forward pass. He's a running back. His PCL is made out of shredded cheese. This is coming from a place of hate. This is coming from a place of hate. Imagine wanting him as your quarterback. This is coming from a place of hate. I mean, good for Lamar.

I'm glad that he got paid. But if I was the Ravens, that's a lot of money to get him down like that. Why don't you say what you were telling me outside of here? I wasn't telling you anything. He's like, I would suck a dick for Lamar Jackson. There is another. I said your dick because it's so small. There's another genetic thing he had going on that you didn't like about him.

What do you mean? Uh-oh. You were telling me the truth is about to come out. I'm just setting the stage if you wanted to say it. You said all that other stuff about him. Say what you also said. I can't believe that you would go there, Will. Because that's the fact that you're even thinking about it right now is very racist on your part.

He wasn't talking about that. I truly, I love watching your guys' brains work. They operate different. You guys always do a really good job of finding the three moves ahead. Yeah, you guys do a good job of that. You owe us money, right, Will? I don't think so. Yeah, did you pay PFT?

What do I owe PFT? For the mini golf? What do we bet? We bet on the mini golf. It was like $500 each. It was busting against PMT. Yeah, I think it was $500 with you. Taylor paid me.

No, Taylor paid me $500. You owe him $500. We made a bet right before we have it on film. You had like 10 guys following you with iPhones filming everything that he did. You got to show me the thing. You owe me $500. Yeah, Taylor paid me $500 this morning. Because he's a gentleman.

Yes, great guy. So do I owe you $500? No, you owe PFT $500. And also, you robbed us at Arizona Bowl. But Taylor, I'll never say a bad thing about Taylor. You're a deadbeat. You do bring up PEDs a lot, but I do appreciate it. Well, it's, you know.

That's good of you. What was it? What was it? What was it? That's good. What was it? What was it? What was it?

Smart of you to see things. All right. So to all Tennessee fans, you know what? Fuck it. I'm going to go for my heart. I'm going to go for my heart. One of the greatest speeches of all time. Oh, you're going to cover Will?

You're going to cover Will? That's what the PFT is. Look at that. Look at that. What a guy. What a guy. Taylor's a standup guy. As soon as I saw you pull out that yellow sheet of paper,

I knew exactly what you're doing. I was like, let's get the fuck off this as quick as possible. You don't even have to pay me back when we're good. I do have a question for you guys. We haven't. We haven't. This is a serious question. I'm not playing chess.

I'm not moving. Don't do this. I'm not doing anything. Yes. In and out is the best burger. No, no, no, no. Not going to talk about that. I am curious to know how you guys decided that you were boys

and you were going to work together. Was there a moment where you were like, I vibe with this dude? Was there anyone who approached the other person and said, like, I fuck with this guy, hard-bodied karate. Let's do a podcast together. How did that go? I'll come in his hole. Any of that?

Whose hole got came into by the other guy? Because PFT and I come each other's holes all the time. This is I think it's another good question for the group. Like, who do you think would be the bottom? Who would be the top? I think this is a question for everybody. I think Will was like, I want to do a podcast. Billy, who's the top?

Well, how does it work with Jeffer Star? I'll get to that a little bit. But hold on. Go ahead. It's going to be Will. Will's going to be the top? No, no, the bottom. Oh, power bottom.

That's all you got to say is power bottom. Will does have an ass on him, too. Yeah, he's got a chunk in the trunk. Yeah, he's got a little Buick back there. You fucking riding that. I love how Billy's the only one that answered. Let's just have it. Yeah, Billy's the only one that answered.

Yeah, Billy, pretty sus of you to even think about that. People are saying that was sus of you. I'd never answer that question. I'd never answer that question. Don't dignify that with these thoughts. PFT, would you ever answer that question? I forgot the question already. That's how straight I am.

Well, how did you think it went? No, if I were to guess, I'd say that Will had the idea of like, you wanted to get into the content game because you said that you were making, you're fucking making vines on draft night. No wonder you didn't get drafted. People were like, this guy, he doesn't care about football. Hang on, that's just my vine game thinking some ricochets.

No, the vines were probably great. That's my thing is like, if the vines are too good, I'll be like, that guy doesn't care about football. We should back up PFT. Well, that person would have been wrong. We would have been wrong judgment. That would have been, I would have been a bad GM. We had the idea to do a podcast in a van,

then Will saw it and was like, oh, this is a good idea. So hang on, he said, hey, we're not, I'm not trying to play a chess. I'm not. I'm genuinely curious how you guys got together and wanted to do a podcast. Yeah, I had the idea of doing a podcast. I want to say the very first time

it might have been talked about between Taylor and myself. He was unsure of it. There was one time where I was driving to do some radio interview for Tennessee. And he was like, the podcast came up again. He was like, I'm down to do it. And then when the, then when it finally happened, we were banged up at some Chinese restaurant.

You can tell him the truth. We were banged, what? We were high. Yeah, banged up. Chinese restaurant. Banged up. I thought you were drunk, but yeah. Yeah.

I thought he was high on the HCH. There he goes again. So give me a $500 back. Yeah, we had that. I'll give you every time we make a reference to your video. Yeah, I'll give you $100 back. Pass that back. Pass that through.

There you go. And then we, yeah, we were high at a Chinese restaurant and shook hands. There was only one. There's only one. We're good. And shook hands. And shook hands.

So that's, yeah, it is how it started. Yeah. You were high at a Chinese restaurant and you shook hands. That's when it got consolidated. So Will wanted to do it. And I was like, I'm 100%. And two days later, I left to go to California to train for three months.

And then I came, Will called me halfway through training. He's like, do you really still want to do this? I'll wait for you. Because he was like, I want to. Yeah. I was like, if not, I want to get this going. Because, you know, who knows if fucking all get the opportunities to play.

Right. And so I was like, yeah, I'm for sure done to do it. And then we found the bus quickly after I got back to Nashville. What year was that? 2018. 2019. 2019.

What year was Barclay Vantog? 2017. 2017. You know what's crazy is if you look at when the, our podcast started in a my NFL career, how fast my NFL career went. Yeah, same. 2019.

We started the podcast like two months later. I failed for a PED. The next year I tear my ACL. The next year I get Chandler Jonesed. And the year after that, I get my ACL again. It's like, yo, you might owe me some money. Yeah. And it also is like, when you, when you, when you,

like list all that out, it, it sucks. It's tough to look. It's tough to find this out now on this podcast. No, but more than, more than anything, you also then had a podcast. You had to answer to all of those. Yeah. And just, and that's good to have your own narrative.

No. Yeah. That's huge. The podcast is the best thing to happen for you. Yeah. It really is. I think it was, it is the. So it's, so your wife, not the best thing.

No. As far as for, for, you know. Okay. Second best thing. You talking about my wife and, my wife and, my wife and two kids over the podcast? Second best thing. No kids.

Okay, all right. My kids have only spent money, dude. I'm making a whole bunch of money doing this. It doesn't make sense though. Like if you think back to when we started part of my take, big guy, big guy got bit by a dog. Like right after. Right through my pinky.

I broke my foot walking. And ever since then, we've had kidney stones. Yeah. BVT got canceled. BVT got canceled. I've had, yeah, I broke a rib. It's been bad. It's been tough.

Podcasting is tough. I broke my back. I blew out my back. The only person I've seen not affect is Will Compton. The only positives have happened to him. He just dragged you into his devil's lair. He's always like this right now. His convoluted web of lies.

I just keep it moving, dude. Bro, you, yeah. He keep it a ban with the kids, huh? Keep it going, man. He keep it going. Are you really upset about that? Lamar Jackson? No, I don't care.

Again, that's another guy that I don't think of at all. Hey, why did you guys stop doing that? Lamar Jackson, at least 180 guaranteed. Oh, nice. Why didn't you guys continue doing just at least 12 pods? Well, we still do it. We did do it like the Super Bowl that year. I remember Bo came on that.

Yeah, every time we go on Grit Week, we'll interview people out of the RV or a van. So we do it whenever we're mobile. Now it's like a nice van, though. Yeah? Yeah. No, we have to just RV. I mean, we've changed.

Barstool's had different RVs. So yeah, I guess it is a nicer RV. So the van was only for like a certain, like we bought a van for Grit Week called Vanny Woodhead. That's right. For $600 in Queens. Yep. That's the hubcap right there.

Very cool. Thing was a piece of shit, but we loved it. And then that started Van Talk. And yeah, we did a bunch of interviews out of there, which was sick. Yeah, I do. I do remember a couple of those because that's why I came across it.

Of course you do. Because Bo went on. You had it on your like little inspo board. No. Like your little Etsy. Like, you know, these guys. You know what you guys should do? The bus thing was 100% me.

It wasn't, Will was against, like not against the bus. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Will seems to disagree. No, I'm saying. I always thought the bus part was the best part of the show. The production team we were working with at the time, when we curated the whole thing, he was like, Hey, what do you think about this?

There's this broken down bus out back in this gravel parking lot. I was like, I don't fuck with it, but I feel like when Taylor gets here, he's going to fucking love it. Yeah. So I was like, let's wait till he gets here. Taylor said, oh, this is fucking awesome. Yeah, we go out back and then Taylor's like,

yeah, let's get it. It was like $2,000. And he's like, I'll put 10 grain into it. If it works, awesome. If it doesn't, I'll just keep it in my backyard. Yeah. You know what you guys should do is you should end every show. You should get like a slot machine on the bus.

And then take turns trying to get the slot machine right. And then the winner gets a jackpot from it. Yeah. That's a great idea. Is that an original thought? Yeah. But it's really good if one of your producers never gets it. We're going to start doing like fans asking questions

like FAQs. Oh, nice. Nice. Nice. Not Bussmore. Yeah, those types of stuff. Not Bussmore is known. Yeah.

That's like one of our, that was one of our brain trials that really came to fruition. No, Bussmore. I got to admit, like credit works, too. That's a funny name. That's a good name. That's a good name. All right.

Last question for you guys. Oh, it's over soon? We can go forever. We can go even longer. I'm extremely uncomfortable seeing this. We got like two hours until the fucking draft show. Fuck. I have been so uncomfortable this entire podcast.

This shit sucks dick. I look at Will. I look at Will casually. And I'm like, man, he looks so comfortable. I'm like pitting out. I keep looking at my shirt. It's like wrinkled from the sweat. No, it's a bad seat.

It's a bad seat. It's a bad seat. It's a thank you. Thank you for seeing my truth. And the couch is held up by paint cans. Yeah. And this mic, you guys have been in the business for too long to have a mic like this.

Let's get some more sandbags. It's part of the allure. All right. So last question. So it was the last question. I'm going to keep going. Yeah, the last question. Because I want to keep going.

Do you guys want to guess the lottery ball? That's the last question. Yes. Also, other last question. I saw you hit the other day and made me excited. It was so fun. It's so fun. How just we can cut this?

We'll just turn off the mics. But how sick was it to do PEDs? Give me. Here you go. I'll pay. I'll pay $100 for that. That was a good one. That was a good one.

I'll pay. I'll pay for it. I'll pay $100. That was $200 right there. Well, it felt good, right? You got pop. I'm not sure you guys are running. Go ahead, Billy.

Billy just took the most money. You know, hey. No, that's it. That's Billy. Well, you would fucking, you would crush a Styrofoam cup right now, dude. I guarantee you're on something, aren't you? What?

You're on the gear. You got something. No, no, but I'm just saying. You're on gear, but don't work out. You just do it because it's cool to you. Isn't that right? You're on like a whole shitload of trend. You know how many dudes like started doing

Asta after you got popped? Oh, your rule model, my buddies. They're like, yo, that's what you got popped for. Let's do it. You know what's crazy is there was a whole bunch of dudes in the U.S. and they got popped for that too. Really? You know, Austrin's four?

Did it work for your boys? Exactly. It doesn't do anything. It's for osteoporosis. So it's nothing beneficial towards football at all for me. Yeah, I can tell. And I really, I really. Oh, man.

I'm sure you can find something. You just keep fucking rolling through that one. When you fucking, if you're going to. Well, if you, yeah. Well, that one is still not computed with. If you're going to do something like do it, do it. And then you get like like Brian Cushing, like what a win for him.

Yeah. And you fucking, you know, twice, you know, if you're going to do it, you might as well get something out of it. I just wish if I was no matter what going to get popped. They're like, I might as well do something. Right. Right. You didn't get your money's worth.

Well, you are now. Every time we bring it up. Yeah. Made $300 this podcast. Well, how did you get away with using steroids for so long? You know, I will tell you a story. So I tore my PCL in 2016. And I was back on the field playing in nine days.

I remember the doc I was working with. I was like, there's a notable player that everybody has that's rumored out there to be on the stuff. And I was like, give me what's in his bag and put it in my knee. And I inject him myself like three days in a row. And I was back on the field. Oh, shit. That's that's how I did not know that story.

That's how Billy knew. I think Billy used you as a consultant when he was shooting me up with something. Yeah. BPC 157. Yeah. That's a peptide that is now illegal in the NFL. But dude, I mean, we all use it. I got fired up. When I saw it was illegal, I was fired up.

I was like, oh, hell yeah. Like I've been on this train since 2016. You knew that you were doing something right. BPC is a wonder drug. Like everybody was using BPC back then. And then like was it last year? Last year, January, like it went illegal. Yeah. I wouldn't say everybody was using it.

Not everybody, but there was there was a couple hundred guys. I found it because Bing Greenfield was on Rogan's pod talking about that's when he was talking about doing red light for his balls to raise T levels. And he talked about he talked about BPC 157. What? He talked about, you ever heard of that? The red light for his balls. Yeah. So Bing Greenfield, he was on Rogan's podcast and they're talking

about ways to raise your T levels. One of them was red light therapy on your balls. Okay. 15 minutes every day. Is it got to work? He also, yeah. He also injected his dick with stem cell. Turn black and blue.

He would do shockwave therapy. Why didn't he just do HCH? So he was why didn't he just go to therapy? It sounds like he just hated his dick. He was doing a men's like men's help. One of him to do an article and he was basically biohacking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Big biohacker, but he also was talking about BPC 157.

That's how I learned about it that day. I was like, fuck, I need to get my hands on some of this. It's not as it helps like recover injuries, helps with leaky gut, like a lot of good stuff. When I would tear, when I get like a, I had a fucking grade one. Hammy. I would inject it right into the fucking tissue like twice a day. And I'd be able to be back on the field sprinting in like five days.

Damn. I avoided surgery on my arm because Billy shot me up with that. But then it's elbows a big one. Yeah. You'll go right into it. I got a, I had an ankle sprint. I would literally put it right in my ankle. Like three days later, it was fine.

See, yeah, I respect when you guys do it, but there was a moment when Billy actually stuck a hypodermic needle into my arm and then injected some mystery chemical into it. That was my point where I was like, the content game has gone too far for me. The content game has gone. Yeah, you weren't weirdly nervous about that. Well, I don't think it's weird to be nervous about Billy injecting medicine into your body.

Yeah, I get that part. But I figured like, I would have like. You would have told me if it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause it's really not like, you know, I think it should be something that's allowed. Yeah. It's like, that was the equivalent.

Like Ben was talking about TB 500 cocktailed with something else. Like that's something that fixes injuries right away, but that's illegal on the band substance list. Cause that's like, you put it in race horses. Right. But he had found BPC 150 70 is like, this is a good substitute where it's not on any band substance list. Yeah.

Your PCL bounce back. You're ready to play. BPC wasn't in my PC. I don't know what was in my PCL. I was just like, Hey, I'm willing to like, I'll do whatever it takes to get back some science. I'll actually, I'll find this video too. And it's, you guys keep talking about this video.

Yeah. Yeah. BPC is literally stands for body protection compound. And it helps so much with just like recovery sleep. It's amazing dude. It really is one of the best things you can do. So long. So long.

We'll talk again. Billy's just heard all this. Go ahead Billy. Are you concerned about a negative feedback loop with that though? That if you stop taking it, your body's going to stop producing it? No. Cause once, once I found out it was going to be on the band substance, cause the NFL were releasing is like BPC, a starting January,

whatever year is going to be illegal. Then you just stop taking it. What is this video? What's going on? Just playing a video. So this is a podcast. So there's a strong audio. Oh, some random video.

Will getting shot his knee. And wait, do you put like DMX? I'll show the listeners. BPC isn't like that. Cause people watching YouTube don't get to see that. Billy, Billy, BPC is not a compound that's going to like, it doesn't raise testosterone levels. It doesn't does, it's not one of those things you get off it

and you feel like shit. Like you literally just take it and you just, it just feel, you feel better. You just feel fucking better. That's all. That's I, I want to feel. Inflammation, like pain relief. You've looked it up.

It's incredible. It is truly, it's one of the best. No downside. Yeah. No, no, no. No downside. Nothing. Find out a long time.

Find out a long time. That's how I like all my drugs. Are you guys want to guess the number? So this will count officially. Hank's not here. So we're going to double up for today's show. Is this going to be on Monday's show? We'll double up.

So Monday's show. Yeah. This will count official August numbers, August 17. Okay, I guess. I'll guess 77. God damn it. 51. 99.

Oh, okay. Go ahead. I think there's no chance of 99. Billy's going to hit the other day. Hit the other day. Hit on 4th. We got to watch the show in a moment. It's not only has Hank not gotten it, but JJ Watt,

when he came on over the Super Bowl, he was like, just guess 99. It's hit twice. Which, by the way, and not too much context. Do you want to talk about when we came into your guys' podcast? Yeah, that was awkward. Do you want to talk about that?

You know that was fine. Yeah. It was definitely a life experience. It was a good life experience for me. So I'll set the stage real quick. Because at the Super Bowl, we just interviewed JJ Watt. It was, I think, his first interview since he retired. And we had a great chat with him.

It was wonderful. And Taylor, you asked Big Cat to bring up. Like, why won't you go on the bus? And so Big Cat brought it up. And then JJ's like, well, because he's spitting on my brother. And instantly we're like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. Okay, yeah. I agree with you that you probably should not go on the

podcast. But then, as we're wrapping up, Will and Taylor, with five camera guys, come through the door and confront JJ. And it felt like we were coming back. JJ thought he was getting trapped. And we're like, too. We didn't set this up.

Well, that's not true. Because you did say you should come in. I said you could meet him after. Like, you came in right as we were finishing. Was he not texting us when we were up? But I also didn't think you were going to come in with five cameras. He said you can come back.

And the people were like, I think they're about to be done. You guys can go in there. Obviously, coming in the doors, we weren't coming into ambush, but you can see how it looks that way. But it was cool. It was for the better. Because you guys talked a little bit. It wasn't for the better.

And bringing the five cameras in, it's kind of like we're at Barstool's vacation HQ. Like, you know, that's a game of content. So we wanted to, that's just kind of like how you just feel like that's the norm. So you just kind of bring the cameras. But it was one of those moments where I think every person to a man in that room was like, this is awkward.

Yes. Like everyone, everyone. Every side of it was like, whoops. Yeah. Sometimes there's going to be some conflict. I was like, oh, yeah, awesome. And it was so tough. Well, it was just like, what's going on now?

I was like, oh, you did what? During your guys' conversation, like he came in. Obviously, he says something on his breath. Like, is this an ambush or something? And you guys had to like reassure him. And then at one point, you and JJ were talking, and then you and Will were talking. And I was like the fifth man out, kind of just waiting

for the, like to get into any conversation. And it was so uncomfortable. But I was like, I got to get fucking through this. Yes. Because at the end of the day, I do feel really bad about spitting on TJ's face. I know I said it as a joke and stuff like that before. It did actually happen.

No, and I could tell too, because we talked about it after offline everything. Yeah. There was genuine remorse. And hopefully we're going to build to maybe some day having the WAP brothers on the bus. It's almost like I don't want. Maybe.

Maybe. No, listen, I'm not pushing for it. Instead of them coming on the podcast, just them to know that I'm actually sorry. I don't even care if they come on. I don't even care. I care. And have we officially agreed that you're no longer

spitting on anybody's face? Because I asked you about that. It did take a lot of L's for that during that week. It was definitely a barstool turn on Taylor Vibe. Well, no. Will's dinner and then the spitting thing was the two things that really. A lot of good drama.

What happened was I was helping coach you through how to apologize for this at the time. And I was like, well, you said that you're sorry. Are you no longer going to spit on anybody's face? Is that shot out of your bag right now? And you're like, I don't know if I can promise that. And so I think that would maybe go a long way to be like, I've learned a lesson.

I've evolved as a human being in my pre-woke phase. I was spitting on people's faces. Now this is a new. This is a new Taylor. We're done spitting. There's so many other individuals that that's happened to. That you spit on? Yeah, playing football.

That's happened more than once. But you can turn a new leaf. Yeah, I probably won't spit on. Are you retired? Probably. You know what? Let's retire from spitting on people today. Probably.

Let's retire. You don't want to retire from spitting on people? That's tough to let go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll retire from spitting on people. Okay, that's huge. I don't know if I believe that though. Did you used to have pifty fearmonger you in the?

Nah, bro. It's all good. Sometimes you got to grow, dude. Yeah. All right. What were your numbers again? Huh? You were 99.

99, 51. That's how he goes. Hey, that was a fuck move. 77. That was a fuck move. All right. Hey, should we talk about the dinner? I'm just kidding.

No. Just kidding. We didn't do enough content about that. All right. All right, here we go. This would be awesome if you guys got it. Taylor's got 99. If you get on 99, that's a good one.

What do you have? 51. 51. Mims has won. I've just saw 51 pop through. 75. Oh, close. Man, it's such a letdown when that then happens.

Dude, imagine never getting it. That's a good. Never. Have you guys all hit it? I bought this machine from China three years ago. Never gotten it. You've never gotten it? He's never gotten it.

That's tough. Yeah. Hey, we should do something like this. Yeah, we really should. We should do something like this. All right. Thank you, boys. Appreciate it.

We're going to be in Nashville in a month and a half. We'll come on the bus. Ty and you were going to make some fun content. Yes. Yes. It's going to be great. You guys do need to come on the bus.

And it's kind of crazy. You guys kind of put yourself. That was kind of our thing. If we're talking about taking ideas, we did. We told Ty and you know. Actually, I mean, George did ask us to come to the initial one. He did say that on our podcast.

Yeah. So. George is such a fun loving dude. He really is. And he's really good friends with us specifically. He called us and he's like, hey, I know you guys didn't want us to come, but I invited him anyway.

You know, George is he's always going to be nice. Yeah. Has George ever said that he would take over for any of you guys if one of you guys were to die or get kidnapped in foreign country? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yes.

Yes. He takes over when Taylor's not. Has George ever done a dab for you after screwing a touchdown in the NFC championship game because it was your birthday? No, but I've never asked him. My birthday is my birthday. Yeah, my birthday is my birthday.

Sounds like he can never do it. Do you think he did it for me? Do you think George is an AWL? He's originally, yes. Over a boy. Yeah. I think if you if you hit him with truce here, should we should we call him?

No, no, we don't have to put him on the spot. Let's call him. Fine. Call him. I'll call him. I'll call. I'll call. I'll call.

I'll call him. I'll call him. You know what? He's he might still be pissed off at Hank for betting on the Cowboys. Oh, yeah, that was. So that's on Hank. So if he's if he says you guys, it's because of Hank.

Yeah, it's not us. Who's not gotten a lot involved, by the way. Do you think it's time or call? I just called. What'd you call? George. Hey, we need you, brother. No, all I meant was we need an answer out of you.

No, no. Hang on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy. Easy. What are you saying? George. George.

It's a big cat. The the voice are with us in the PMT studio. We were saying, how I remember the time. Hang on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. All right, so the question is, we're going back and forth because we're talking about how much of a boy you are.

Like as far as like just a good dude. Yeah, just a dude. But we were like, what do you think George is more of? An AWL or a boy? Oh, wow. Are you asking me which one I prefer? Yeah, George. Yeah, like if we were standing facing each other about to.

If we were on fire, who? If you had one bucket of water. There you go. George, you remember when you were rocking? We met you down. George remembers all of it. Like he like if you picked you guys, that was the best night of my life.

Both of us were all on fire. You could you got two buckets of water. Who are you dumping them on? But you only pick a side. You can only pick a side. One of each. No, actually you could you do whatever you want. I pick Will and Big Cat.

Oh, we're good. That's fucked up. That's a win. That's fucked up, Will. No, that was smart of him. Because all right, all right, all right. All the shit with Theo Vaughn, you know he's more on Theo Vaughn side than us.

After saying that answer. He said me. So I'm alive. This guy is just a heads up. This is getting desperate out of you. AWL. AWL or Boyd, George? Oh, he just picked you.

He picked. It's strictly just because I have hosted both of the podcasts with Big. I did an episode. I hosted with Big Cat. I've done episodes where I hosted with Will. And Taylor also went to Michigan. This is diplomatic answer.

Also, if I died, then you would just take my spot. Yeah, right. But George, so AWL or Boyd. But one would take two bucks of water. So just because of how big of a person he is. So like that, I can't, I can't only save one. That, that weirdly made me feel better. Taylor would probably be like, oh,

all you got is water. I was hoping you had HGH. There you go. So George, AWL or Boyd? Oh, there it is. All right. Love you, George. You know what?

Oh, what the hell? What is it? My last question. Last question. Last question. King Solomon. It says he saved both you and Big Cat. Who would he host for?

Since you saved both me and Big Cat, who would you co-host next to? Oh, I will say my chemistry with Compton is one of a kind. Oh, that's it. So Will did, but this is a really good show. Thank you guys. I love a piece of shit. Thanks for guys.

Taylor. Part of my take. I'm Taylor Lawan. This is Will Compton. If you subscribe and wait five stars to bust with the boys. Taylor, look at me, dead in the eye. If you ever want to fucking leave this piece of shit and join with us, we'll do a three-man podcast.

We're good. Three of us. All right. Make sure you remember that. I remember that. We'll fucking ride together. I got you. Forever.

All right. That's cool. OK. Wrapping up. Good show, boys. By the way, Jake, any comment about the fact that I met the second best tennis player of all time? That was awesome.

We ran into Roger Federer for people who didn't see. Yes, second best. Just in the streets of Brooklyn. Yeah. Well, he was at the same place I was eating lunch. Right. But just minding it, he's very unassuming. Yeah.

He seems like a really nice guy. Was he? Very nice guy. Held the umbrella for me. Yeah. Well, biggest umbrella of all time. Yeah. I mean, kind of a beat him up.

That's what happens in tennis. The ball boys, when they're sitting, they hold it under the players. So he was my ball boy. Pretty much. Yeah. No, he was a very nice guy. Yeah.

Very good looking, too. Very good looking. Not as good as Joe Kovic. But not everyone can be perfect, right? Yeah. OK. Wednesday. Who do we?

Oh, we have a big hockey guest on Wednesday. So get excited for that. And we're also going to F1 in Miami. So see some of you there, baby. F1. Vroom, vroom. Push, push. Title town.

Title town. Miami is title town as of right now. OK. Let's wrap up the show. Hank, I just want to remind you, if you have a cluster gene, this would be the time. Have you ever gotten this? I have not.

I'm going to take seven. Oh, wait. No, no. No, no. I didn't say it. No, that's a false start. That's a false start. You know that's false.

You didn't jump all the way across the line. Neutral zone infraction. I got back. No, no. We snapped it. I got back before the snap. You know. You know.

You know. Number? 69. 76. 18. I'll take 17 if you're not going to take it. You got to pick last PFT. Yeah, you got to pick last.

So 76 is still up for grabs. Yes. I'll take 53. OK. I'll take 17. Keep in mind the number earlier this episode with the boys. 75. Oh, yeah.

We did an extra one with the boys. Don't care. You wouldn't have gotten it. I'll take 20. PFT. 76. OK. Hank, you have the better seat.

You have. You have the best seat, but. When I've gotten it twice in three years. That's just a skill problem, but. OK. What was your number, Hank? 53. I'm going to take two.

I'm going to take two. Oh, my God. 14. I thought it was 17. It's showing. So what would you do if I got 17 and one? What's the Puku? That is now twice.

Two out of the last three Sundays, the 14 is it April 16. Oh, my God. This thing is easy, Hank. Eels made it some of the deepest parts of the ocean. And no one's really sure how they do it. Eagles. Of you guys. Eels.

Eagles. That was about to be a crazy fucking stat. That bad like. No, but like literally they might like go into the center of the earth. Like hollow earth here. Today is on my day. To find you. Shining in your way.
