We went to Zach's house, we taped a burger taste test review with him that's coming out on his YouTube channel on Thursday.

We had an awesome time. He listens to the show. We could not believe it. We got lost in his eyes. It was incredible. We also have even more incredible, well, maybe equally as incredible news. We signed RJ Hampton. We're better recruiters than Coach Cal.

We? Yeah, we. Hank. We. As in the collective ownership team that is Hank PFT Big Cat of the New Zealand Breakers. We signed RJ Hampton. We have him on for a few minutes. He came by the studio.

He was actually on radio with us. So RJ Hampton, Zach Efron, you cannot get a bigger show than this.

We wanted to update everyone because I know we stopped after the first period last night. So there it is. If you've been waiting on pins and needles to find out who won the first game of the

Stanley Cup final, there it is. Boston Bruins, four to two over the St. Louis Blues. The St. Louis Blues PFT have still yet to win a Stanley Cup game in the history of their franchise. Very interesting. Congratulations. Just a fact. To Hank, that's a big win.

It proves once again two to nothing is the most dangerous lead in hockey and also in soccer, I'm told. So I'm going to look to rehash that one during the Women's World Cup. But yeah, Boston, it was a shit pumping. We already got the gift of the playoffs. The dude with this helmet off skating all across the ice to level that other dude on the other team. Tory Krug.

Yes. Tory Krug. So dude on dude violence. Yes. Good old fashioned, yeah. Good old fashioned slobber knocker. Yeah, it was a Donnie Brooke out there. One of those ones where just boys become men in front of our eyes.

Because of the cup. Should be a good series though. It was a very competitive game. Should be. I think what? What are you giving me that look for? Hank's giving me a look right now. Like the series is over.

I think the Blues will make it a series. I think it will be a competitive series. Okay. Let's update the Boston misery power rankings right now. The biggest problem that Boston sports fans have is that we're not giving them enough credit for their four to victory in game one of the Stanley Cup finals. So that's tough. Thoughts and prayers to you.

Hank. Well, we just updated it. Here we go. Everyone who is listening and reliving the game through our podcast. I know you probably were like, what the fuck? It ended after the first period. Nope. We're back back to back days.

The rare back to back. Pardon my takes. Shocker. How many hung over. AWS or else? Yes. By far the most tweets I've ever gotten were just people being like, yo, you described my exact situation.

I got too drunk this weekend, fell asleep, missed the game and was rewatching with you guys. So if you are, if you're even more drunk than the drunk guys, this is probably the worst day. Yeah. This is probably worse than yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. The guys who were the delayed hangover.

Now you're fully caught up. Yeah. So we were talking directly to the 23 to 27 year old listeners on yesterday's show today. We're talking to you 30 to 34 year old listeners that get the two day, the 48 hour delayed onset hangover because you're old. We're updating you. The Bruins ended up winning. So that is the news in hockey.

We have, because the back to back show days, we don't have a ton of new news, but we do have the, well, we have two pieces of news. We have RJ Hampton. Let's start there. We have RJ Hampton, five star recruit deciding between, and we alluded to this on yesterday's show, deciding between Kansas, Duke, I think Kentucky, I think Memphis was in the mix and maybe Texas Tech. He says, fuck all that college stuff.

I'm going to the New Zealand breakers, the New Zealand breakers by who owns them. Oh yeah. We do. That's right. Us. We own the New Zealand breakers. I think it's safe to say that we cucked the shit out of coach Cal, coach K, and Bill Self on one fellow swoop.

We made a damn strong offer, big cat, a damn strong offer and so strong PFT so strong that he signed actually 30 days ago and we didn't even know. Exactly. Yeah. That's right. I thought there was going to be a longer negotiation period, but he was like, yeah, that's more than a fair offer. Dare we say that the landscape of amateur athletics in the United States shifted by the winds

of pardon my take? I think that it's probably right about time that we should start having that conversation. Well, I'm happy you brought that up because Jeff Goodman did a little Debbie Downer turd in the punch bowl tweet where he was like, uh, good for him for deciding to go to New Zealand and make money and forego his amateur status. But outside of a few NBA execs, this won't help his brand. Now first of all, I think only cares about NBA execs because he wants his, his literal goal is to just be in the NBA.

He said he does not care about being a college athlete. And to guess what, Jeff Goodman, his brand is going to be fine because we're going to be the number one RJ Hampton podcast on planet earth. I think you're forgetting something big cat and that's only three out of 30 NBA execs have the internet. So a lot of them won't be able to watch his highlights and stay posted and what he's up to also. Hey, it was John Goodman.

I'm really looking forward to your series on HBO coming out soon. That looks awesome. But have you ever watched a little movie trilogy called the Lord of the Rings? That was in New Zealand. People seem to pay attention to that. So it looks like checkmate. So just think about like, I mean, it's, it's ridiculous. I think you could make that argument 20 years ago, but now look at all the international

stars that are in, in, you know, the NBA, Luca Donchich. You can tell me that Luca Donchich was like a household name leading up to draft, but that's just false. People who are tuned into basketball definitely knew who he was. But if you ask the casual fan, a lot of them didn't know he was and he becomes the best rookie in the class. And it's like that, that just kind of happened in terms of like visibility and branding. He got everyone, everyone in the NBA circles knew who he was.

That's all that really matters. And the branding comes after. So good job, RJ Hampton, way to stick it to the man. And we have him on the show. Yeah. Great job, RJ. And it's not like NBA executives, well, maybe they do. Maybe they're affected by like a very selective short-term memory loss.

They've been in tune with this kid for the last three years. Like actually, you know what, recruiting, NBA scouting probably starts in sixth grade by now. So they have been paying attention to this kid for a long time. They're not going to forget about him because he's actually playing in the future. He's traveling to the future to play in New Zealand. So I think he'll be just fine. I'm very happy with the strategy and the package that we were able to offer him in terms of

compensation, even though he is taking a pay cut going to New Zealand instead of Duke. But that's something we could offer him a little bit more off the court than Duke could. So I'm very happy. I have, there's one thing that I'm worried about though. What? It's, I get carried away with stuff. You know that about me. So when, when I got a little taste of breaking news, I kind of, I took that a little bit.

Some would say a little bit overboard. Some would say not far enough overboard, even though I have a fake account devoted to my dog. Are you talking about the account you created with your dog where you tweet out fake news all the time and then delete it when it's wrong? Some would say that that's not overboard. Some would say that that's taking overboard. I would disagree, but I, I'm worried that I'm going to take this overboard and just

make a bunch of offers to a lot of people to come play for my team that I really have no decision making powers over. So I mean, yeah, listen, we're already one step ahead of you because Hank and I had a discussion today and we are going to hit the AAU circuit and hit it hard. We're going to get New Zealand breakers, jumpsuits. We're going to sit next to coach K. We're just going to show up to every event and be like, Hey, have you thought about New Zealand and just make this a fucking brawl in the streets for five star recruits?

I'm glad that you guys are on the exact same wavelength than I was because I was about to unveil a marketing plan that's very similar to that. Obviously the AAU circuit, we need to hit that hard. We need to make New Zealand the destination, the only destination for middle school, high school athletes to go to. Also, let's make a couple more splashes. Let's, let's, let's put some offers out there. I know there was that rumor about mellow earlier this week to the breakers.

We need, we need mellow ball. Yeah. We need mellow ball. We need, let's, let's make hoodie mellow an offer and just create a custom jersey only for him that has a hoodie on the back of it. So hoodie mellow, you have the invitation. I'd like to get, I mean, fuck it. Let's invite like Skip Bayless down there.

Skip Bayless, if you want to improve on your 1.4 points per game, there's one place that will have you and that's New Zealand. Let's make an offer to the otter from the San Diego Zoo that can dunk. That chunk. Yeah. The chunk little otter. Loachy coming. Can't get hotter.

Let's, let's really go overboard with it until we realize that we've really done something bad until we face repercussions. But until that point, I'm all in on this recruitment stuff. Yeah. I love it. I think we are going to be the best recruiters in the world. I mean, we kind of already are because we've got five star recruit just without even knowing it.

30 days ago. So we didn't even, we didn't lose any sleep recruiting RJ Hampton. That's how good we are at recruiting. But yeah, I'm all in on getting dirty with the recruiting. The mellow thing that you brought up, I don't want to give away all the RJ Hampton interview, but just tune in because there's actually a very good explanation for why Carmelo Anthony to the New Zealand breakers became a real rumor. And that was told by our co-owner, Matt Walsh, who was also in the room when we talked to

RJ. Huge day for us. We got, we got our guy. We're the best recruiters. Hey, coach, Cal and Kay say hello to the bad guy. Yeah. You're in for a road or a hurt man. No recruits are safe.

This is, this is a sea change. Yes. And I can't wait for us to go on Kentucky Sports Radio next week, June 6th, anyone who wants to tune in and we're just going to fucking just do a whole song and dance about how we're better recruiters than Cal. Oh, hey. We didn't know what our, our, our angle would be to, to be on Kentucky Sports Radio this year.

Would we do it? We love doing it every single year, but now our angle just fell in our lap with RJ Hampton. It got handed to us. And what we need to do is we need to get framed RJ Hampton jerseys and lean them against the wall behind us for every interview that we do to show, show how great we are in the, in the saran wrap. Okay. We got to talk about one other news story before we get to hot seat, cool throne.

So by the way, if you want to watch our interview with Zach Efron, Barstool Gold slash PMT, go sign up right now. You can watch the whole show. The Lakers, the Lakers are a dumpster fire more so than we even imagined. There was a huge story that dropped on Tuesday morning, hilarious story. I loved it mostly because every no single person was safe. He went after everyone and it was good reporting, but it was Rob Palinka telling stories about Kobe Bryant having dinners with ghost teeth ledger, Magic Johnson being like a psycho where

it's magic and Irvin and Irvin's an asshole. Genie bus thinking Genie bus is like your, your crazy aunt that gets way too into holistic shit where she, she keeps thinking that it's fate. Everything is fate. So it's like everything is fate. We'll figure it out. LeBron, Maverick Carter, uh, sorry, Rich Paul doing the, oh, I didn't know you were here and interrupting a meeting or a lunch with Maverick Carter and Adam Silver to bitch about

Luke Walton. Luke Walton basically being like the sympathetic figure in all this. The whole thing was a mess. What was your favorite part? I mean, that lunch was pretty awesome. The, the oops. Oh my God. This is such a coincidence that I'm having lunch right next to my business partner who's

having lunch with Adam Silver, but as well, just go talk to him. And by the way, what does he think that Adam Silver is going to do? What's Adam Silver's reaction to like an associate of one of the star players complaining about his coach? Like, is Adam Silver like he's gone? Good as gone. Yes. I got him.

Yeah. Maybe it was just Tony Dungey too. You never know in those circumstances. What this tells me is that this is a classic like rats on a sinking ship scenario with the Lakers. Cause you're right. Nobody was spared. Everybody got like a little taste of, of some vengeance from somebody else.

So everyone inside that front office is talking and it's, yeah, it's rats on a ship except they're not throwing other rats overboard. They're just throwing them under buses that are driving by on the top of the ocean going next, next door. Um, I, I liked the lunchtime story and I was obviously a big fan of Rob Polinka setting up a meeting with a guy that had been dead for at least six months. Uh, Ghost Heath Ledger.

Ghost Heath Ledger. Now there are a couple of theories that I have about that. One is this is a classic, uh, a classic strategy for anybody that's ever been in sales and you have to meet an end of the month quota for how many meetings you set. So you just go in and like you put fake names in there or you like put your buddy's name and you're like, Oh yeah, I scheduled a meeting. I had a sales meeting with this guy. He's like, Oh yeah.

Um, I set up a meeting on the last day of the month with Heath Ledger, uh, River Phoenix and Paul Walker. So I'm going to need that bonus. I, there also, I wouldn't put it past Kobe to actually have a meeting with a ghost to figure out how locked in he is. Oh, like we're laughing at Rob Polinka right now, but Rob Polinka might be telling the truth. He's just leaving out the part that it was a ghost and not actually Heath Ledger.

Yeah. I think Kobe can talk to dead people. I'm not disputing that part of it. Uh, maybe a more likely theory is that Rob Polinka had just set up a meeting with Jack Nicholson. It was like they play the Joker, they're the same person, might as well talk to this guy. They're also not to make light of mental health, which I never would do, but the fact that they had like a documented stat about the panic attacks that happened was, was kind

of ridiculous. Like what is going on here where they're like, yeah, like four people had panic attacks because of magic Johnson and how mean he is. It's like, Jesus Christ. What is going on? And the only person actually who, who kind of comes out clean here is LeBron because LeBron, huh, let's rich Paul and Maverick Carter do yet interesting that we have all these inside sources.

Oh, another just great one. The fact that they let, I didn't even realize this happened when it was happening because I'm, I'm not like paying attention to Lakers day to day, but they had Contavius called well Pope playing during his while he was in jail. So he, he had to go back to jail for 25 days because he had a DUI and he broke his parole and he is a clutch sports guy. So this was before they got LeBron. They were courting LeBron and he would literally leave jail, play in the home games, go back

to jail and miss the away games. And they're like, what other fucking team would do this? Oh yeah, they were trying to get LeBron James. So they're going to do whatever they can for clutch sports clients. Yeah. I have a small problem with everybody kind of like going after, um, Polinka for lying to the rock because there's that video that came out during the Lakers genius talks, which is apparently a normal thing that they do where they just have successful people talk

to the team. So Polinka was telling the story in front of the rock. I don't have a problem with that, like bringing the rock into it because everybody lies to the rock. When you're around the rock, right? He is such an alpha that you have to lie. You have to make up stories that everybody turns into Billy Hamilton when they're in front of the rock.

That's just how it goes. Yes. I actually, that's on my hot seat. So why don't we just segue there? Cause I have the rock on my hot seat. Hank, why don't you start and then I'll tease the rock. Why don't you start? No, I'm going to tease the rock.

You just, I teased it. You just ruined a good segue. I teased the rock is on my hot seat. Tune in later. Tune in later. Tune in later. On the hot seat. My hot seat is the, the Domino's tracker.

Okay. So if you guys ever ordered a pizza online on Domino's and has the tracker of like your food's getting ready to the oven, Delft for delivery. Yep. At your front door. Yep. Some big J journalist, independent journalist went in, did some research and was like stalking, would put in order and would follow the restaurant, follow the driver and make sure that the tracker

was up to date. No way. And it's not. No. He, he foiled it. He foiled Domino's. Wait, what's that? I can't believe in anything.

Was that the Noid? Did the Noid do this? The Noid? Are you not familiar with the Noid? You got, you got to be kidding me. You guys aren't familiar with the Noid? I'm not familiar with the Noid. The Noid was Domino's mascot back in the 80s and 90s and you had to avoid him.

Ah. If you wanted to get your pizza. It was a big thing. I'm going to look up the Noid. I'm sure I, I'm sure I remember the Noid, but I've, there's only so many things that your brain can hold on to. And I think the Noid got the cut a while ago. Yeah.

The Noid looked. Oh yeah. He looked like a Noid. He looked like a rabbit. Yeah. With botulism. Yeah. Yeah.

He looked almost like Stretch Armstrong combined with a rabbit. Yeah. So this dude, this dude put the order in the restaurant, followed it while it was going on in the restaurant and then followed the driver to his house. So not creepy at all. No. It was the bottom of it. Turns out it was, it was a false and it's a tough day to be Domino's.

It's about ethics and pizza delivery, Hank. It's not, it's not creepy at all. It's not creepy. All right. What's your cool throne? My cool throne is LeBron James Jr., his Instagram game. Everyone knows when you join Instagram, like he had that one day that initial splash that everyone gets.

His dad posted a picture of him, got him some followers. He followed it up the next day and I thought the video was fake, but everyone seems to tell me that it's real of him just like, I don't know if he was doing an impression. No one's been able to really like find what the impression was of if it was of anything, but he was kind of talking crazy, talking a little reckless for a 14 year old, got people going and it just, it boosts his engagement, got him more followers and it's just, it's a good two day stretch for LeBron James Jr. on Instagram. Yeah.

So was that not, it wasn't him, right? Or was, but it was fake? Everyone that I've talked to said it's real. I thought it, when I initially saw it and heard it, it was Nate who blogged it. He said he did like three hours of research said it was real. Good source. Okay. Is that it?

And then everyone on the internet, I typed in LeBron James Jr. fake and there wasn't any proof that it was fake. You've done your research. I'm going to agree with you. It was real. I'm going to LexisNexis this real quick and get to the bottom of it, but that sounds, I mean, that's good enough for me. So wait, when you say that he was talking all kinds of reckless, what was he saying?

He was doing like an impression, talking about these hose ain't loyal, like these like. It was weird. It was for, you know, talking reckless for a 14 year old, you know, that's something, you know, dad to dad, he's probably going to have to have a sit down with him. Hey, big time. Brody Jr. He's be like, here, pull up a, pull up a glass of vino. I don't want people to judge you off my name, but also like you have my name.

So try not to be so reckless on mine. Yeah, right. Yeah. Keep your name out of my mouth. Right. Your name and my name, they're the same. So you need to make sure your name is better than my name. That's right.

Yeah. Go leave your name. Drink a bunch. Better than I found it. Yes, exactly. But it is great, you know, you got to deal with your dad like talking, you know, getting mad at you a little bit, but it's great for followers, great for engagement. Yeah.

I mean, this is, this is also like what, if you give a 14 year old who is already kind of a weirdly a celebrity in his own right and Instagram, it's going to probably happen like this. Like this is, this is how it goes down. Yep. So I don't really know like what else it's, I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure one of MJ's sons had a dick pic that he deleted. I think Marcus Jordan put out a dick pic by accident like back in the day.

That shit happens when you have, when you're a famous son, like a failed son is a real thing. Oh, for sure. For a reason. Yeah. Yeah. What's the saying? It's like the first one builds it.

The second one creates it, maintains it, maintains it. The third one destroys it. Yes. So I can't wait for brownie. The third brownie. The third is going to be terrible. Basketball. All right.

PFT. What do you got? Is faces of death because Rex Chapman's famous blocker charged Twitter account got suspended today. No. Word on the street is that it was because he posted a video of a guy on a motorcycle getting into an accident and dying. The guy actually died in it.

So Twitter, Twitter looks down on snuff films. You can, you know, all the Nazis that you want on there, but the second that you show an accident of a guy dying, boom, suspended. So it was, it was inevitable that this would happen to old Rex. And I mean, I'd be lying if I said that there wasn't like a little bit of a market opportunity that I saw because nobody else is posting blocker charge. True. So we could just take over that.

That could be our brand. We could check this out. Ready for this one. It's a little hot in the streets. Blocker charge. And it's a picture of that bottleneck on Mount Everest. Oh, that's good. How about blocker charge?

And it's a picture of Rex Chapman's suspended Twitter account. It's been done. That was my first thought. I was just thinking for Everest because above 8,000 meters is that's the death zone. So it's definitely a block because that's like the restricted area. That's God's restricted area that high up on the mountain. We know what the Mount Everest picture is starting to become. It's starting to become people like posting it.

Like I will die on the, like Kevin Whitehill. I will die on thinking Kevin White's going to be a good player in the NFL. And it's just a picture of the Mount Everest of people that actually did die. It's kind of a fun little internet thing that we've done where we just take real death and make jokes about it and also take a point where it's like, Hey, this mountain that is like one of the last like untouched places by man now has a traffic jam. Cool. This whole fucking society is trash.

Let's all just like end it now. That was it. Yeah. It was. It reminded me of that. It's kind of true. Did you ever read that book into thin air? It came out like 15 years ago.

I saw the movie. Basically about this exact same thing where it's like Everest has become so like such a commodity right now. It's so easy to climb it. If you have enough money, you can pay for a guide that, you know, it's starting to get bottlenecks and people are just like dying because they can't move because you can't, your body can't exist above a certain altitude. And so we learned our lesson for about 15 years and then we forgot it again.

Yes. So that's nice. Cool. Okay. My other hot seat is Fiji because US rugby is going to win this weekend and win the entire thing. My cool throne is FIFA. FIFA is on the cool throne because you may have noticed a couple, maybe like a week ago,

there was a big ticket snafu for the women's World Cup where they were not seating people together. So if you bought a group of tickets, if you bought like four tickets for you and your family, it turns out that there were just basically scattered all over the stadium. Like FIFA was trying to do with the NFL commercials for football as family. They have and just have everybody sitting next to each other wearing different jerseys. But people have complained and it's been a big black eye for FIFA. So they have assured us, and I will take FIFA's word for this, that they're looking

into correcting the orders right now. So if there's one organization out there that knows how to handle their shit, it's FIFA. This is like number 100 on their list right now of things to take care of right behind building stadiums that look like vaginas using slave labor. So I think that as soon as they figure that one out, they'll figure out how to redistribute the tickets around the stadium. So I have full confidence in FIFA to turn this around. Yeah, they've got their hands full.

They've got to figure out how to air condition in the desert for 2022, 2022, yeah 2022. Yeah, yeah. It's a lot of BTUs. It's going to be a long time from now. All right, my hot seat, I alluded to it. The T's, the rock. I'm putting the rock on my hot seat because I'm sick of him posting his cheat meals being like, look how relatable this is guys every, I don't know if you notice this, but like

every month rock will post a huge pancake or something and be like, damn, look at this cheat meal I'm about to devour being like everyone out there, you know what it's like to eat like shit. Yeah, rock. We eat like shit every fucking day. You're not cool because you do, you eat a big pancake once every 30 months or 30 days and you can deadlift a thousand pounds and you spend your life in a fucking gym. I don't like when he tries to do that.

It pisses me off. Okay. Yeah. I mean, the rock does have some pretty crazy cheat meals though. He goes back and forth. His posts are either him working out in like a really, really sweaty cement wall gym, a cheat meal or like a picture of his mom flying on his private jet talking about like what a great life he has that he can do this for his mom.

He's really big on that. It's like keeping things in perspective. I just, I just don't like like when he's like, oh yeah, you guys know what it's like to have a cheat meal like this. No rock. I actually do not know what it's like to eat like shit while I have a six pack and be like, don't worry, tomorrow I'll still have a six pack. So no, I don't know what it's like.

What's crazy is that rocks cheat meals are so big that eating one of those would actually be a workout for me. Yes. Yeah. I think I would burn more calories eating one of his like 500 bacon slice gravy cheesecake meals that he does than I would consume by eating it. I don't know how the math works out on that, but I'm pretty confident. Stay woke.

I don't even think he eats it. Hmm. Just saying. I like that throwing it out there. He takes a picture of it. That's how the rock makes everybody else in worse shape than him. He's got everyone convinced that you have to have a giant cheat meal. And so they all copy what he does to get his body, but he just throws in the trash.

Yeah. All right. My cool thrown brands because Sports Illustrated was bought by a company called authentic brands group. I don't know anything about them, but that's a fucking fire name. It's just there's really good. It tells you everything you need to know. Like what do they do?

Brands. How do they do it? Authentically. Yeah. It's a group of them. When you have a company that's that's basically called like real shit, not fake, then I'm like, yeah, no, those guys have their act together. Yeah.

Just like for a minute there, you're like, wait, who bought them? Oh, it's the authentic brands guys. That's right. Brands. They'll keep this shit 100. Hunt it. Yeah. Hunt it.

I do. I do like how they're looking 100. They're looking into establishing a line of like medical clinics, Sports Illustrated branded medical clinics. I like that. Got to get that, got to get that like, that drip down from the Theranos stock. People are all about the medical community now. Well, it's that.

And also just if you put sports on anything, guys are more likely to go see a doctor. So as of like 50 years ago, there were dudes just walking around with tears in their abdominal wall until we started calling them sports hernias. Right. Every guy's like, Oh, I got a sports attorney. You got to go to the doctor. Get that checked out for my sports injury. I mean, it's genius.

When you think about it, they're like, who's been crushing it lately? Sports clips. Okay. What about sports doctors? Boom. Yeah. I had an idea a couple of years ago about a sports funeral home. Yeah.

Oh, that's good too. But I like the sports doctors because you can show up and they'll be like, Hey, you have the same thing as Derek Rose, but maybe you'll be back sooner than him. Yeah. It's a little test of your manhood. Uh huh. We got to get to our interviews. We got Zach Efron.

We got RJ Hampton after him. Before we do that, uh, Zach Efron, awesome time with him. We have a burger taste test review coming out on Thursday on his channel, on his YouTube channel. It's hilarious. Hank and I watched it. It's fucking ridiculous. Also a quick shout out because, uh, one of the guys Zach's lives with, uh, put us onto

this tequila and the Sotros tequila. It's so Cal tequila. We've been drinking it since you've got to check it out. No Sotros tequila. So it was a fun time burger taste test review. No Sotros tequila. Check them out. Uh, awesome time with Zach.

You're going to love this interview. So before we get to Zach, we have a letter that was written to Hank that I'm going to read out loud. Are you ready? Hank? Yes. This is brought to you by our friends at Bud Light who have penned a letter to our boy Hank.

Dear Hank, it's your friends at Bud Light. So we felt so bad after we bullied you on Twitter the other day over your frequent vacationing habits. So bad in fact that we bought this ad read to serve it as official apology. Our boss thought it was a pretty expensive apology, but we said that Hank and the AWLs deserve to hear it. Plus there are no free ads and we didn't know how else to get a hold of you. But more than just our apology, we wanted to express that here at Bud Light, we love

vacationing as much as you do so much so that we are sending hundreds of Bud Light drinkers on a summer cruise getaway to Key West. All people have to do is post their Bud Light summer photos using the hashtag real enough to get away. That's hashtag real enough to get away and hashtag Bud Light contest for their chance to win. We hope that you'll forgive us and maybe even join us down in Key West to try our new Bud Light lemon tea.

Ooh, that sounds good. Perfect for a summer vacation. We're confident that Bubba can produce the podcast just fine until your return and we'll even send him some Bud Light lemon tea to Barstool HQ three so he can pretend that he's on vacation to love you. The Bud Light team PS Hank, you probably thought this letter was over, but we are actually going to send you on a one week vacation to Florida. Thanks to the Bud Light team for real.

Oh shit, Hank. That's unreal. You motherfucker. You deserve it. Another fucking vacation just because you got bullied by Bud Light. That's actually Hank. Yes, I'm reading it right now. That's amazing.

Thank you Bud Light. I'm just kidding. Fuck you. I knew you were going to do that. Fuck you, Hank. Don't go on another vacation. That was mean. That was fucked up.

All right. Here's Zac Efron. That was fucked up. Ooh. Okay. We're here. We're in the van. We're in LA.

We're in SoCal. We're here. We're in the van. We're in LA. We're in SoCal. We're with our friend Zac Efron. In a van. In a van.

Down by the river. But Zac Efron who needs no introduction, but we'll introduce him anyway. He's a heartthrob. He's an actor. I love that heartthrob comes first. Thank you. I really appreciate it. He started as a heartthrob.

So we'll start with that. But before we get to all of that, you are also the most random and star-struck award-winning listener a part of my take that I have ever heard. And I think same with UPFT. Yeah. When we heard that you actually listened to the show, I was like, are you fucking serious? So that doesn't happen often. So that's pretty cool.

I think it does happen more often. No. It doesn't. It is not. Yeah. Usually it's like... Really? It's like a backup offensive lineman.

Yeah. We'll be like, hey man, big fan. I'm like, that's awesome. Love the show. Right. Okay. I mean, I see what you're... Okay.

I'm super glad that you're a listener. It's a compliment to you. Yes. I appreciate it. You're a listener. You guys keep it super real. And so that's why I like listening to you. You keep one on to all the time.

Yeah. So I just don't... There's so much faith in the industry. The more... The only thing that really we have left is the truth. Yes. The more people tell it, you guys do and bring things out into the open, I just think it's so much more fun.

It's a better world to live in, to fucking confront shit and take it head-on. When you look at me right there, your eyes are sick. Oh, thanks, man. You two, you got a very pretty hazel. You think so? Hazel green color. Your eyes are fucking sick, bro. How am I?

You're just... I just see my own eyes. That's a trick. It's hard to get you to see your own eyes and you're like... You're ridiculous. You're like, man. Yeah, you guys are beautiful. You just look at yourself.

Yeah, exactly. All right. So we've hung out with Zach for a little bit now. We did a burger taste test review that goes... Love your hair. To his new YouTube channel. So we've spent some time with you. We want to quickly do the career arc.

I know it might bore some people. I'll be super quick and I'll make it actually inter- I'll tell you guys whatever you want to hear. All right. Yeah. Started as a heartthrob. Yes. Definitely, for sure.

Was that a mind fuck? You have no idea. It was like... Yeah. Everyone just walking around being like... So the hottest thing ever. Basically, one day I walked out of a very cheap... Well, I mean, an apartment upstairs in the valley.

And there was a camera guy, a paparazzi. And he just started taking pictures of me. And I was in my sandals walking across the street. Were you on cast and couch? What is going on? No, I was on high school musical camera. Oh, yeah. It was a joke that I did.

So I filmed this TV movie. I filmed this TV movie and I was a little bit shy of it. So I didn't tell anyone. The night before it came out, one of my friends was like, go on YouTube or go on the music charts. And they went on iTunes and all the different music charts. And my name was on them. I was like, what the fuck is going on?

Right. How old are you? I'm 17. That's pretty crazy. That's a mind fuck. I think we're 18, maybe 18. No, 17. And then after that, from that day forward, they were about two weeks where it was kind

of interesting that there were dudes following you. And then after that... Taking pictures? Yeah. It's interesting. It's kind of cool. I can't deny there was that moment of like, hey, I'm famous or I made it or there's that feeling of self-satisfaction.

That fades so fast. And you, at least for me, the most important thing from that point forward has been that I learned this lesson. Just keep your head down, move forward in this city. It's Hollywood's very, very hard. It's hard to navigate as a teenager, growing up, you're surrounded by every chance to get out and take a shortcut. And that's why I liken it to sports and athletes because when I meet and talk with athletes

at the gym, like pro athletes, like I'll be, you know, ah, geez, a lot of the guys that did the combine came in and trained at the same gym I was at. I talked to them and I see a little bit of what I, what I just call like that magic, that curiosity. Yep. That like... Yeah, for sure. It's hyper focused.

Fuck yeah, we have the magic. It's also in your, it's also in the way you guys talk. Yeah. Okay. You guys clearly can. So did you get good at, did you get good at losing the, the tail, like losing the paparazzi? Yeah, I'm just like laughing how many stories I can tell you. Yeah.

On and on. This was right between, so Twitter wasn't really out yet. Like an Instagram wasn't really out yet, so we're in the era of like in between. And people were starting to join Twitter and starting to join Instagram, but I was kind of just not into it. I don't like, I don't like phones really, I'm not really a phone guy. I like, I don't like, I like, you know, you like to be, you like to be outdoors and chill. Chill, chill.

I like to just chill. Yeah. I like to just like, I just, I just like to chill. Yeah. I'm really low key. You've received. I was, I very much learned how to act post that movie. So then it was like rocket ship, right?

Yeah. Was it rocket ship too fame? Which I would say fame is not something that is something I really cherish. I think the money is important. Yes. The money is necessary because it helps you protect yourself. Uh, those around you helps you foster more creative ideas to help things down the road and stuff like that.

But, but fame in and of itself, I never felt deserving of fame. I felt performances deserve recognition when they're good and they couldn't be ripped apart when they're bad. Mine get ripped apart no matter what, but I don't give a fuck. I like to choose interesting, different, weird stuff. It's kind of the only power we have. Yeah. I don't think that anybody.

I don't agree with people who aspire to be famous. I think that that leads to all sorts of trouble. It is fucked up. If that's and unfortunately, that people know you. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Unfortunately, unfortunately, a lot of LA draws a lot of people that want to be known.

And for we, even I admit it from moment when you're young, you have that moment when you say, man, wouldn't it be cool to be like famous and rich? Right. And now I like having been a part of both of those things to whatever extent I have been. I think like the most important lesson is like what Nipsey Hussle says in his songs. He's like, says first you get the first you get the money. Then you get the bitches. Then you get the respect.

Okay. Then you get first you get the money. Then you get the respect. Then you get a pre-release of the Madden, new Madden. Then you make a difference for everyone else. Then you tell the truth. Think about rap music right now. Yeah.

Who are the guys that we love? I'm a big fan of Bone Thugs. Okay. Well, they did it. They were the original guys to do it. They told the truth about what they were actually doing. Yeah. So perspective is a whole nother interesting.

Yes. Like my perspective on this town is completely different. It's changed. It's changed. I know things about things that nobody should ever want to know about. So at what point in your career? Or and also might want to know. Right.

Yeah. By gross I meant like, yeah. Your book. Yeah. Yeah. I do really want to hear all those stories that you can't tell. Yeah. At what point in your career did you kind of not fall out of love of like the whole fame

and everything, but kind of fall out of love out of it? You know what I mean? Like, hey, this is... Dude, the second it happened, man. It made me so vain. I just felt I was really like... You had that terrible haircut. Yeah.

I remember that. Yeah. So that was a depressing time. Girls love that. Yeah. I thought it was try hard. But really what it was was every day there would be cars lined up and down the street and I would just get out of my car and a caravan of them would follow.

So one day I just literally put a hat on like I said, I went and I met with Leo DiCaprio. Nice work. It was... That was... I don't even mind dropping that one. No. I'm very proud of you. If you can drop Leo, you drop Leo.

No. And I'm not even dropping. I'm picking him back up. Leo's right here. Leo gave me some advice. Okay. He was like, look, dude. Like, you know, because I showed up at his house and he looked at the security and saw

many paparazzi. He was like, I've never seen that many paparazzi. This is going to change. And he was right. Eventually I kept my head down. I just didn't let it get to me. I started covering up more and finally I realized that the reason they were taking pictures is because I was giving them the photos and that was a part of me...

You secretly... Being mean, secretly, kind of attractively to attention. Then when I really didn't want it, all I had to do was just not do it. Now I don't... Don't really dress up and I got a premiere and I'm like, just... I don't really give a fuck anymore. I'm like... I reached a Matt Damon phase.

What? I feel like I'm almost to it. Yeah. I like the hair though. So what is the story with the hair? Art Alasakis from Everclear type thing. I like it. That's a good one.

No, you are like... This is very SoCal of you. You're a SoCal boy through and through. You are very SoCal. Have you ever left the little bubble of Southern California? No. I'm Central California. Oh, sorry.

Oh, sorry. So north of Santa Barbara, like... Okay. Like Royal Grande, San Luis Obispo. How far away from here is that? Three out... Three hours. Okay.

The speed limit? Three and a half. Have you ever lived outside of the state of California? So this is another question. What insinuates live? What... What's the time difference? I'd say more than two months.

Oh, then I've lived in Canada. Oh, filming a movie. Yeah, I've lived a lot of play. If that's two months, then I've lived in New York. How about an apartment? An apartment. A New York? Okay.

Canada. Georgia. Okay. So you've been out there. But you are about your vibe... Also, Europe. Europe. Okay.

A lot. Europe, I stayed for four months. Where? Oh, man. We did a month on the Isle of Man. What was that for? It's for a movie called Me and Orson Welles. Oh, okay.

I've seen that. Actually, that one's actually a good film. Richard Linkland. What about Mike and Dave need wedding dates? You're gonna join. That's our boss. Dude, I really... We love that movie.

Did you? Yes. One, because it's our boss. But two, I actually really liked it. We did, like, a ton of promotion for it. Anna's... Kendrick is the shit. Okay.

So let's bring that up. Let's bring that up. What? The fact that Anna Kendrick followed and unfollowed me so fast. She did? Yeah. Can you text her right now? What was up with that?

She followed me on a Tuesday night and then unfollowed me by, like, Wednesday at, like, 8 a.m. I didn't understand what. You talked about it. Well, I talked about it. Yeah, because I was very starstruck. I love Anna Kendrick. So just be like, hey, did you...

Hey, that guy, Big Cat, did you mean to unfollow him? Yeah. She's gonna be so... It would be really helpful for me. Yeah. Say you're with me right now. This was... Oh, take a picture of him so that it...

Yeah. Yeah. She unfollowed me so fast, man. It hurt so bad because I'm a huge Anna Kendrick fan. All right, I'm texting her. All right. I'm with Big Cat. Oh, why did you unfollow him?

Hey, should I say, is everything cool with you guys? Yeah, it's everything cool. She's the best. She really is. She really is. I love that Mike and Dave needs wedding dates. Not only because it's Peter Turner and Joy, but then we went to it and I was like, fuck you.

I've actually... You want to know this little fun facts? Shout out to Peter Turner. Thank you for making some cool movies. Yes, shout out to Peter Turner. All right, let's get back on track because the one thing I do like about you is you... We stepped in your house and within like five seconds we were in a deep conversation. So we've gone through the beginning of the career.

You're at a point now. You just finished all the promo and everything for your new movie, Ted Bundy Netflix. It was awesome. But you also said after you were at a point now in your career where you will pick the things that only you want to do, how liberating is that? Does that feel awesome to be like, hey, I can just do what I want to do? Which is really the only power that you have as an actor is to say yes or no, yes or no to a movie because I want to apply myself to movies that are good.

I want to make the best movies that you, that men, women, all of us enjoy. I believe the key ingredients of those are like sincerity, love, honesty. Also mixed in with fucking badass action and really cool, exciting visual effects. But there's got to be hard... Keanu Reeves killing like a hundred people. And I watched John Wick last night, actually, and the less your lead character talks, it's a great way to turn like sliced loans. You know, he doesn't talk that much, but when he does, it's important.

Yeah, exactly. I agree. So what kind of movies are you trying to get into these days? I'm not trying to get into that. I kind of just wait until I meet with the director and we see eye to eye and go, usually when I meet the director, the first thing is, you're very different than I thought you would be. And I go, thank you for saying that. They go, no, I really mean that.

You're really different. I thought you were going to be an asshole. It's almost 10 for 10. Right. Because I just... It's part of the territory that comes with being... Very good looking. No, I think with me at this certain time or being good looking, maybe Seth Rogen told me

straight up. The first time I met him, I was like, oh, Seth? I was so nervous and I was at a party at the Hollywood, some guy, I was like 18 maybe, and I saw Seth Rogen. He's like my hero. Seth is a good actor. Not only is he funny, he is a good actor. Like I love Seth Rogen.

And I see Seth. He's my hero. I just started acting and I walked up to him and I was like, excuse me, at just one of these parties, I didn't want to be there. I had to go do a red carpet. I was just getting drunk by myself at the bar. I just didn't like miserable and I saw Seth Rogen pass and I was like, shit, and I took a shot and I remember I walked up and I was like, excuse me, and he didn't stop and I

was like, wait, Seth, Seth Rogen, and he turned around and he looked at me and he was like, oh, hey man, what's up, Zach, how's it going, right? I was like, yeah, I was like, hey, and he goes, oh, hey, and then turns to leave and I was like, oh, wait, wait, can I talk to you for a second? He's like, oh, fuck, okay, yeah, man, what's up? What's going on? I'm like, I just want to tell you, I think you're a fantastic man, like as a writer, as a producer and as an actor.

I think that you make things funny by your sincerity and you're a good actor and I appreciate that and thank you for keeping that alive in movies. And then literally there was like a 10-second pause and Seth goes, god damn it, and I was like, what? And he goes, fuck it, I just wanted to hate you, you realize you fucking, you represent literally everything that I fucking hate and now you're actually nice too? Like fuck that, Jesus, god, can you be an asshole, you're supposed to be an asshole, you can't do all those things and be nice, fuck, god damn it.

And I was like, Jesus, and I was like, I didn't know what was going on, I was like, thank you for, I'm just like loving what he's saying. Thanks for not being an asshole, yeah, that's a huge compliment. Is that weird though? Because I feel like you probably run into that a lot where people judge you before they meet you all the time. Based on your character. That's your life, yeah, based on your character.

It's basically the opposite way that people get to meet you guys, you meet you first with a sincere talk. True. And that's why I think you gravitate towards people because you give them the authenticity. I like to think that that authenticity is inside my performances because I'm really going to different places and that's where my authenticity and my work goes. Are you a method? Not fully method.

Well, I hope not. You used to be a serial killer fucking movie. Daniel Day-Lewitt. Going fully method can be, I'm not knocking actors who go fully method. It's just not practical. I've done it four stuff before. I usually last like three days. Like for Mike and Dave, you need wedding dates, you're like, God, I really need a date.

No, that one, I was method. No, no, no, I'm kidding. But you did talk about the recent movie, the Ted Bonney movie. I forget the full name and Wicked and Evil. I watched it. It was awesome. Shockingly evil or extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile. Okay.

So you talked about having to meditate to get out of the Ted Bonney character. Yeah, I like the car right now. That's fucking deep, man. That's deep. Not to get out of the character. It's not like he clings on to you. But to like shed like the, I'm sure it's pretty dark vibes to have to play a serial killer. The movie only portrays him as the world saw him.

So it, and the way that others saw him. So he was seen as a likable guy. Your normal everyday dude, which is how he was able to wow the world with committing so many murders we don't know. We still don't know. Right. And rest in peace to his victims. And, you know, we made the movie in their honor and in their memory.

But he pulled the bull over everyone's eyes until the point where he fired his own, he escaped jail twice, was murdering people consistently. The estimates could be in the thousands. We don't know. And the entire time he's playing his own defense on a public trial on TV. It was the first time a camera was let inside an actual courtroom to film the trial. Yeah. I mean, it was a good movie.

And at the end, Judge Coward actually said that. You can see that real Ted Bundy sitting there and the guy says, you know what, you're a nice guy or seem like a bright young man. I would have loved to have you practice under me, but you chose a different path. That's heartbreaking. Son, you had everything. You know, that really happened. Right.

That was Ted. He was, it was crazy. So the moral of the story for me was to, I didn't want to do what everybody wanted me to do for the last 10 to 12 years, which is switch it up, go dark. Instead, I did every other thing. I tried to like learn the game first. So I like laid my board out and like set and I just practiced on different movies. I did it, punch a couple of independent films.

I only wanted to work with directors who knew what they were doing. Right. So I could learn how to act. And I learned about acting. I worked with Burr Steers on 17 again. And we did another movie called Charlie St. Cloud. I've seen him. You have?

You've seen all these. Awesome. Cool. Thanks. We own all of them on VHS, Blu-ray, and DVD. I love you guys. I love you guys. Yeah.

That's pretty cool. Yeah, yeah. That's sick. I'm going to get the DVD hard copies because the hard copies we get percentage is over. There you go. Don't stream. Don't stream. Do not stream.

No stream. Netflix. Netflix stream. Stream. Do stream. Do stream. Give us one product that we should buy. Zac Efron.

Subscribe to YouTube. Yeah, there you go. Subscribe to Zac Efron. We actually did a burger test with you. We did. We did. And that's like an epic thing to do. It was probably the last one you ever have.

Well, it's also. We canceled it. I mean, like, you guys are always talking about burgers and what's the best burger you like to eat. And food. You guys, I love food, too. No, you're plant-based. Yeah, but still, on food, I say plant-based, not vegan.

What is that? What's the difference? Vegan means I will never touch anything with an animal product, but like, I have rainbows on. These are leather. Oh. Oh. So you can wear.

But you ate a burger, so what does that mean that you're plant-based? I'll have a piece of meat. If I'm going to die, or if I'm at a Wednesday night sushi thing and haven't eaten, I'll have fish and stuff like that, I just don't eat heavy amounts of protein just because it's healthy and all that stuff. But how do you stay jacked? Do you know about intermittent fasting? I've heard about it.

I've tried it. It sounds awful. I don't know. No, it's the easiest thing in the world. All right. Explain it to me. You just don't eat for longer in the morning and a little bit longer before bed. Right.

So what's my hours? Okay. So you have 12 hours that you should not eat throughout the day. During your nighttime sleep cycle, say you have your dinner and your dinner ends at 7 p.m., you should not have anything in your body except water through the night and tell. But then after that, you've got to do a full day of fasting on like one day a week or one 72 weeks. Oh, I missed that part.

I missed that part. What I would do is I'd fast, and then on the eight hours I could eat, I'd go to Pound Town. I'd eat everything. Yeah. Yeah. Don't do that. I had like 6,000 calories in like six hours.

No. And also on your cheat days, if you guys can make more of your meals inside the unit health, you say you guys get Thai food like every night, if you can make that, start with something simple. Okay. One meal a day, a salad, always one a day, or one every other day, I know, dude, I fucking hate them too, dude. God damn it.

It's disgusting. Who likes them? No one. Then you know what? You. I honestly, I don't even like the taste. It's an acquired taste. Do you think that fucking like?

You got to stay ripped. Yeah. Do you think beer tastes good? Yeah. I love it now, but it was an acquired taste. Now I fucking, I, I love a lot of things, but you have to try, you have to try things for a little while. Okay.

So how long is it going to take me to do this whole intermittent fasting thing and be shredded? How long to look like exactly? I don't know. How many days? How are you going to, if you come and, if you come and spend a summer out here in Cali, how about I, I could show you guys. I could. I'll teach you.

What's more. Did you get me shredded in a summer? Yeah. Six pack? In a summer of training? Uh huh. Yeah. Are you trained at all?

Here, you take a look. I trained today. What's more, what's more impressive having a deep belly button or a six pack? Put your finger in this belly button, put your finger in that belly button. Oh, look at that. Yeah. He's putting his finger. Oh, yeah.

That's bad. That's really bad. That's how. That's how it's gone away. Yeah. If you give them. Wait, wait. On the question.

I can feel at the bottom of my balls on the question. Does that thing stop? No. You literally tickled the bottom of my balls. Why is it wet? Well, it gets wet throughout the day. Yeah. No, it does get wet throughout the day.

It gets a little lint. You know, I store stuff in there. Yeah. It gets a little wet. What's the weirdest thing you pulled out of there? I could put, I could put probably a decent amount of change in there. I mean, honestly, the real answer is probably Zac Efron's finger. Yeah.

That's true. That's exactly the answer. There it is. I want to talk to you. I heard a story about you, Jack. Did you watch that later? Yeah. I heard a story that you got the, like a Barry Bonds home run ball.

Oh, yeah. From Charlie Sheen. Oh. He did. Yeah, yeah. How did that work out? So basically my first publicist that I worked with out here, he's still a dear friend of mine, was Charlie Sheen's old publicist.

So it's a full time job. Charlie found out that I was a fan for my birthday one day he gave me a Barry Bonds autographed baseball. Okay. And he just gave it to me. Right. And I could, I was like, I can't accept this like no way. I can't accept it.

And I refused to take it. And then I was like, okay, I'm going to hang on to it. And then I called everyone was like, I guys, it's been six months. I've got Barry Bonds baseball. I think I written, this is a legit gift. And then about six months later, I got a call from somebody saying like, do you still have that Barry Bonds autographed baseball? You mean, and it wasn't just anyone, it was one that was hitting the bay.

Right. It was like the 75th. Right. It was the record breaking. Okay. Yeah. Like sign. This is no joke.

Yeah. Okay. So this ball's worth millions of dollars. I knew Charlie was going to want it back. Right. So I kept it exactly where I put it. And sure enough, one day he called and was like, Hey man, I, you know, I think I kind of want that back.

And I was like, I totally understand. I totally get it, bro. Like, I knew it was coming. It's, I never, I never took anything off it. I did tell a couple of people that I owned it for a while and I did, I did for about a year and a half or so. Yeah. But I have met Barry Bonds and this was, I think it was before I got that ball and

he signed a ball for me too. And I have a coffee mug with me and Barry Bonds on it. Like a picture of you guys? Yeah. Yeah. So you have a whole autograph collection though. Oh yeah. I have my baseball autograph collection.

It goes back super far. That's awesome. Yeah. I have like all the San Francisco Giants. Jeff Kent. Like. Pablo Sandoval? Yeah.

Tim Linsicum. Oh, the freak. I think we got Linsicum. Dylan and I waited for Linsicum for, that Dylan might have got, I think Dylan got Linsicum. Dylan is Zach's brother. My little brother, yeah. Yeah. Dusty Baker?

Oh, yeah. Dusty Baker's son? Yo, I want to hear a good story. This is Dusty Baker for you. So you, can I tell a story about Dusty Baker? Yeah, you can. It hopefully doesn't end with him like just letting pitchers die and then pulling pitchers and just doing really fucked up shit and losing play.

No, this is actually a good thing that, well, it shows a little about him. I was a kid like, you know, I know plans to be an actor. I thought I was going to be a doctor. I was just trying to get good grades in school and do stuff like that. I didn't know what I wanted to be. But I loved baseball and we would drive four and a half hours to sleep in our sleeping bags on my dad's friend's couch to catch double headers. And if the Giants made it to the playoffs, we would drive down and up like it was just

me, my little brother, my dad, we would just go scalp tickets. Like we wouldn't get it and go in if it was any more than like $15 right in those plates. But we would get down early and we would get the foul balls and we'd have him sign the foul balls. And I got a lot of the Giants. So did you meet Dusty Baker? I'm so, yeah. So I met Dusty Baker.

I was waiting outside of like the spot where they all drive out and there's a gaggle of like other autograph collectors whom I've now come to see the other side of why adult male autograph collectors are the weirdest people on the planet, right? Like a 40 year old with a suitcase. Yeah, it is. I see them all the time. They're they mean well. It is an awkward inner thing there.

Like, you know, they're going to like sell it or something like you. But I do like you do as a kid, you do like the person. So Dusty Baker pulls out on this like a big chopper and he cruises by and he sees me and he goes, excuse me, you're Zac Efron. No, no, no. Oh, excuse me. I had bleached hair. Yeah.

I was like, excuse me. Hey, Dusty. Like, excuse me. Excuse me. Dusty Baker. Mr. Dusty Baker. Can you come over? And he's like, I have to go to church.

I'll be back in one hour. If you're here in one hour, I will sign you, I'll sign autograph, I'll sign autograph for you. I was like, okay. Right. Right. I waited. I saw it ran into all those other a bunch of other players.

And then we're getting ready to leave where the last kids waiting in the parking lot. The sun's going down in San Francisco. It's just on the sitting sidewalk. It was very like in the movie mid 90s, like I'm out front like, you know, and and Dusty Baker came back and he said he liked my blonde hair because I had spiky blonde hair. And he and which comes back to the very end of the story. Yeah. Signed balls for my brother, myself and my dad who are like lifelong giants.

And then that was, it was just pretty awesome that he went all the way. He went to church. Yeah. Just to a bar. Well, that's perfect. I'll be right back. He was gone for a night. He was gone for an hour and he came all the way back to do that.

And he was dressed the same. Like you didn't go home and change or anything. Right. He like, he literally ran out to make it to church with his family and then he came back. That's the purpose. Dusty Baker story too, because it's like he is the nicest guy and by all accounts, everyone loves him. But man, what an idiot.

Like could have just signed your ball right then and there, like maybe 10 seconds. Never had to come back. Yeah. Well, the problem is there were, there were a lot of. And the only reason, the only reason that he stopped is because I went up to him and I said, I was like, please, Mr. Dusty Baker and he looked at, he was like, if you're here in one hour, I'm not sure. That's actually a cool story.

So it was really cool. And you're a fan of the saints, which I think they, those fans are, they love the fucking sport. They are like crazy. And they're also just know how to have a good time. And you know Sean Payton, right? I know Sean. Yeah.

I do know Sean Payton. We know him too. Yeah. He's a buddy. Yeah. He gave us some wine. He had a lot of it. He's a drink up boys.

He's a drink up boys. We're like, yes sir. Coach. Yeah. Yes coach. Yes. He's looking good man. He lost some weight.

Crossfit. So I was, I was filming a movie called The Lucky One and I had a. Seen it. Seen it? Really? Oh no. All right. Phew.

I bought it five times on iTunes. Think about it. But, but during that period, I was, I, I just hit my own funny bone. Nice. Really good reflexes. I was sitting on the couch and this is back when yeah, I was like eight, 10 years old. Yeah. He's trapped it again.

Yeah. Don't tears the other way. So I fucking love dude. Zach, I love you man. Thank you. Your vibe. Like we're just, it just goes everywhere. I fucking love it.

This is like, I don't know. You, when you're like, I don't want to be Hollywood famous. It's genuine because that's from all of our conversations we've had in the last three hours, not including on, or including this podcast. It's like, yeah, you're just, you're just dude. You are. You are Cali Chill. Fuck yeah.

All right. Hey. Cali Chill. You are Cali Chill. Wait, what were we talking about? I'm not becoming Zach. You were doing a movie. You were doing a movie in New Orleans.

We all went to celebrate for the rap party to, we were bourbon street, I'm going to do it. Like, I mean, like carrying around those blue beads, like it was like Friday nights. This was Saturday morning on couch, 11 a.m. years and years ago. And it was a coded front door to get into my apartment. So only me, only I knew the code and only the cleaner knew the code. So, or sorry, my, the guy who was living with me, who's also my producing partner knew the code.

So I heard the code, you put in, I heard the door get open. I'm laying on the couch with, I don't really care, like we're homies, I'm just in my boxers. I'm just kicking back. But I hear them step in my, and if my friend and I hear like click, clack, click, clack, I'm like, are you wearing tap dance shoes? And I'm like, those are heels. And they're walking towards me and the couch is blocking someone walking from this side and they're about to see me basically buck naked.

So I grabbed a blanket and threw it over me and I suddenly feel like, excuse me. And she screams, I was like, what are you doing in my house? And she goes, I was told we could look at this house. And I was like, what do you mean? And I'm like, what do you, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, lady. I'm naked. And she's like, I'm sorry. We were told that you, we could view the house between, you know, two and 11 and four anytime.

And I'm like, I don't know. And she goes, well, maybe you know my husband. This is Sean Payton and I looked to the front door. I'm wrapped in nothing but a blanket and his wife is two feet from me, like, like right next to the, where the bedrooms are. Right. And he's just walking in front of her and he goes, hey, son, he's like, he's just like, he's just like, hey son, I'm all right, big fan.

Like immediately we, and like immediately we became, we became good friends. But I, I literally, first time that you met him. Yeah. I was in my underwear, trying to hold like blanket together with his wife, two feet away from me and shaking his head in New Orleans. And then we went next door to emeralds and we ate the whole menu. That's amazing. Yeah.

And now I'm a scene for life. I also got to go to their practice field cause Sean invited me to practice field and I got to throw the football with Drew Brees. It was super fun. I've only thrown, I've thrown the football with it, with a couple of pro quarterbacks. Like Bortles? We can make that happen. Yeah.

I would love to. I would love, I would love to. They're hard to catch sometimes though, cause they get right at your face. Yeah. You guys are accurate. Yeah. We got a few. Matt Flynn.

Yeah. The Saints. Josh Allen. He'll take your head off. Pat Mahomes probably also take your head off. I think any of them could probably do that. Yeah. We don't want to do that.

Then again, my head's pretty big. No, it's not. You got small. Hey man. Oh, you're getting a big head. Damn it. I'm kidding. I don't know.

I have a very small head. You're very good looking. Don't be yourself up about it. Do you ever get sick of people just telling you that you're very good looking? You have no ties though. Yeah. No, I'm not. I, I'm all, I'm, this guy's not like the cheesiest shit in the world, but like I, I

don't, I value it a lot less than I used to and every chance I have to demonstrate how little appearance matters for the rest of my life, I will fucking jump on it. Like that's, that's, that's where my YouTube space and, and ventures out into the world and sort of create a space like the world, the world full of very different people and we need lots of different kinds of entertainment. And I think entertainment just like sports is, I mean, it's, it is our history. It is. It's what we are.

It, it, it can, you know, history can't be rewritten. The movies that tell the stories are how generations learn about them. How much are you guys learning about Winston Churchill from fucking Dunkirk? Like. Oh, we've got, we've got some loose loft in front of us. We're going to try to stray from off the beach. That's all of Dunkirk. Yeah.

That's it. We just did the whole thing. No, that was perfect. God, I was like there. Yeah. The other one. Running out of fuel. No, no, no.

We thought of Dunkirk. We're idiots. You're thinking of the one that's about our finest hour, our finest hour. Is that it? That was our darkest hour. Our darkest hour. Yeah. I learned a shitload about Churchill.

Yes. Oh, dark. Okay. But Darkest Hour, if you then watch, if you watch Darkest Hour, then you watch Dunkirk. Then Dunkirk makes sense. That makes sense. Yes. Yes.

Do you like our impression of Dunkirk? Tick. A bunch of civilians, down the, and over here in the channel, and our bugs over at Dunkirk. You killed my boy. He fell down the body stairs and you shoved him. Off the fucking shell. I'm on fire. Where are the boats?

The boats were supposed to be here. Why'd you knock on my head? Why'd you knock out that little lad? How did we plan a war with all of our soldiers? Why would we put all our soldiers over there? Get out of the water. There's oil in the water. He's bleeding from his ears.

It's oil. Oil. It's oil. It's the heaps of oil. Hey, I'm from One Direction. I shoot rifles. Oh yeah, that's good. That's good.

Zach. That's how I feel about the movie. Okay, Zach. This has been awesome. We got one last, well, I got one last thing we gotta do. Yeah. It's not, we usually do the Seat Geek question where you put in promo code TAKE and you get $10 off.

Okay. Seat Geek movie pitch. Cool. So you said earlier in this podcast, if you can look into a director's eyes and feel the movie they're trying to, to like make, you're in. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yes.

So that's, that was something I said, but I'm boner dogs. Yeah. So look into our, I'm letting you look at my eyes. Yeah. Yeah. Very rare. Boner dogs. Okay, I'll start.

Okay. Yeah. That's what you said in the, we're very real people. Okay. Okay. Okay. Boner dogs. Okay.

Here's how it goes. Go ahead. Yes. It's Iditarod. Do you know the, I did a rod? The, the running around in, uh, Alaska. It's snow dogs sidebar. Hold on.

Rush. What's the movie? Rush. Okay. Boner dogs. Think about it. Boner dogs. What my colleague.

about it, boner dogs. I'm going to let PFT take it from here. I could help you ride it. What my colleague was trying to say and trying to, the point he was trying to get across is the dog has a boner. Oh yeah, the dog has a boner. Yeah. And so they all, it's a pack of sled dogs, right? And they go out and they all make fun of this one boner dog because he's got a boner and none of the other dogs. You know, you've always got a boner dog. Look at these flaccid little dog dicks that are red. And so they get lost out in the wilderness, right? Super lost. And the only way they can get back is boner dog follows the trail of

his boner to get back home. It's like a little fucking rudder. Get this. Here's the, here's the best part. It, it lights up. Oh, yeah. Yes. Okay. Yeah. He wants to be creative with a little bit of that. Yeah, yeah. We'll definitely put that in the script. Zach. Um, so. I'm, I just am sensing Rudolph potential vibes. Oh, okay. Yeah. I don't like that. Yes. Okay. But here's the best part is dogs are played by Kevin Hart or their voices. It could be animated. Either way, your call. Oh, I love Kevin. One more sidebar. One more sidebar.

Jack Black. Let's make sure that we give Zach the role of the boner, the lead, lead boner. No, the boner. Okay. So, uh, voice of the boner, redo it, redo it. Kevin Hart, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Chris Rock, Kevin James, uh, the Rock. Rock Schneider. Rock actually plays a rock. Guys, if you can cast that movie, just call it boner dogs and you win. Okay. But you're, you're gonna have to do anything. Yeah, I'll be in it. I'll, I'll, I'll, yeah, we, we gave you, we're going to give you the voice of the boner. It's like, it's basically, it's being John Malkovich, being John Malkovich, except, uh,

when you, I, I found a way to crawl into people's minds and give them boners. I got it. Okay. I got it. This is your passion project. This is your meta-een, lead boner. But first you've got to make Aquaman boner dogs. Okay. But then you can make lay boner. It's black and white. I'm going to get boner dogs, um, like all, all of their, uh, IPs and stuff. Yeah. And we're going to turn boner dogs into something. A real movie. Okay. We've got, we actually have a kids meeting for it. Let's, let's turn it into a short. So can I say, can I say that you're ready? But don't call the boner short. Yeah. Like boner is going to be very large.

Oh yeah. Don't say it's a short. It's not going to be like super large. It's going to be a big talk about how big the boner is. I'm like Tom Cruise guys. I'm like, I'm like five nine, but I look like maybe six foot on. I look six. Same. True. Same. Yeah. He taught you how to drive a motorcycle. Oh, what? Tom Cruise taught you how to drive a motorcycle? Yeah. Tom was like, I was talking about PFT. No, Tom, Tom Cruise didn't teach me how to.

What did he teach you? Tom, Tom, Tom Cruise taught me more than most people. Motorcycles. No. He taught me like how to be a badass. Tom Cruise. True. I do think that Tom Cruise is as far as like movie stars go. He's my favorite of like the movie star, movie stars. He just like as opposed to. He's the. Let me put it put that another way. He's not. He's he's my he's my he does the movie star. As an actor, the best way he is. He's a real movie star.

Like he's JJ Abrams. Right. Every time he's always he's Tom Brady. He's like the Tom Brady. Well, you were talking about earlier, like the golden age of being famous and movie stars. He's part of that era. He is. He is. No, like this this new this new era. What's brilliant about is we have free. We on places like YouTube, you know, freedom of speech.

Zac Efron. Yeah, we have YouTube. Subscribe, Zac Efron. YouTube.com slash Zac Efron. Sure. Your page. Yeah. If you just if you search that YouTube.com slash Boner Dogs and then subscribe, that's the way you get the subs. Yeah, we talked about something to make that and steal that from us. No, damn it. No, they're not because they're on the IP for it.

Also, we have someone get on that IP. You have a pitch meeting for Boner Dogs. I think tomorrow. Can we say that you're attached? I do it. Should I watch it loosely attached, loosely attached? We're not going to say you're in. We're going to say you're not you've been. You've had a conversation about it.

No, not not a lie. No, not until you guys meet my agents tomorrow morning. So you guys will come in. OK, we're pitched to CAA at the office. Yeah, that's right. Yep. And then we're then we'll pitch it. Get it fully set up at a studio or Netflix. Done. And then if if I can get ahold of the rock,

he would be a big sign. He would be. Yeah, we'll have to discuss. It's got to be a cast. There's a trap on the rock. I would rather aim a little higher than the rock. So I'm going to say no to the rock. OK. That's really that's really hard. That's called out of the deal negotiation.

Let's see. Who else is? You know what? We'll take the we'll throw the rock in. All right, fine. I'll throw the rock in. Last last question. Kevin Hart's good. Yeah. Do you die? Anna Kendrick protects you back. Let's see. I'm just going to call her.

I'm better off. I'm just going to call her. Yeah, just be like, hey, I mean, there's got to be an explanation. You know what? Actually, I will I will I will say. Did she? Did she text you? No, no shit. Wait. No, she didn't. Anna Kendrick.

Let me just call her real quick. Because there's there's no way that she. Why would you? Yeah, I know unfollow you. She doesn't make sense. Right. It makes no sense. Get to the bottom of it makes no sense.

And it's going to be like, Zach, please pick up. Anna. Fuck, that was such a fucking. Wow, what was that? See, that's why that's that's why I'm like, is my phone. She curbs me. Yeah. I was wondering if my phone's like tapped when that shit. Yeah, it probably is.

I suppose that's why I always think it's run like 20 times. She has a voice. Come on, and I picked it up and she has just a speaker playing the sound of the ring. No, no, no, no. Her number was much. Yeah. Well, you'll just tell me if she texts you back before we.

Oh, you're faced. I'm like, who's dead? No, it's actually just big cat. Follow them on, follow them. You know what, Zach? I'm going to end with this. We actually were trying to we have a good friend, Bill Walton. We're trying to interview him today or this week.

I feel like you are the spirit of Bill Walton, because this has been a conversation that's unlike any other interview we've done this week or pretty much ever since Bill Walton. It goes everywhere, gets deep, is funny. I fucking love it, man. I love you. I love you guys too. Thanks so much.

Fuck yeah. I love you, buddy. And your eyes are so sick. Yeah, both of you guys, man. Honestly, you're way cooler in person. Please tell me if you're in a. And you're so online. You're so round online.

So I'm like, best place ever. Oh, thank you. Thanks for coming in your creepy van. Yes, very creepy. All right. Please tell me we should get back together sometime and do another reenactment of Dunkirk. That was the most fun I've ever had.

Yeah, well, we should if we watch it for five minutes, we'll get the we'll get the. Yeah, they're commissioning the entire Navy. It's all the civilians going out to war. Turn around. There's too much you about. Please just tell them to text me. I'm going to keep on.

And now, RJ Hampton. And now for something completely different. We've got a very special guest in studio right now. He made his decision this morning. Five star recruit, top 10 projected NBA draft for the 2020 draft. RJ Hampton, who decided to say he's not going to college. He's going to play for the New Zealand breakers who, RJ,

this is breaking news to you. I am part owner of the team. Oh, I did not know that. I'm your boss for one year. I'm not actually, you know what, my first thing is your bosses do whatever you want. We're a player's first team. Players first.

Yeah, so you do whatever you want. Don't worry about it. If you ever get a problem, you just text me and I'll solve it. But yeah, big news. It's huge news because you are the first college player, five star recruit, who basically decided this, who could have gone anywhere. There's been guys who've gone overseas,

but it's mostly been academic reasons. What was the decision process? At what point did you say, this is actually a real thing. I'm going to go play in New Zealand? I think when my parents brought it up to me and happy brought it up to me, we just kind of talked about it throughout the season. And I didn't really make a decision

while I was in my high school season this year. But after that, I really took a hard look at it and looked at all the pros and cons. And that's what I decided what I wanted to do. So when you did the pros and cons list, what was part of the cons? Because the pros, obviously, you're going to get paid right away.

You get to work out all the time. You don't have to go to class. You can basically focus on basketball. What were some of the cons that you went through? I mean, maybe some of the cons were missing out on that college experience, the college life. And then kind of just moving far away from home. But that was really it.

I felt like there was way more pros than there were cons. Yeah, yeah. And we also, I should note that we have a good friend, full owner, not partial owner of the New Zealand breakers Matt Walsh in here, also a former teammate of mine. So Matt, when this all went down, at what point did they hit you up and was like, hey,

this could actually happen? Well, I didn't believe it until we had the signature. OK, which was when? About a month ago. Yeah, about a month ago. Oh, shit, you guys kept this a secret for a month? Yeah. Damn.

Yeah. You found out yesterday. I found out yesterday. I was entrusted a funny side story real quick. Matt, you saw the Carmelo Anthony to the breakers? Yeah. That was obviously a precursor where Matt was maybe trying to figure out who maybe the leak was

in the organization. Oh, that was false. That was misinformation? Yeah. Yeah. It's false information. That right, Matt? Matt Colangelo.

It's true. Yeah, you don't need the headphones. You can just let them come. I had to throw out a little bit of misinformation to see, identify the leak. And we're still working through that. Yeah, yeah. Have you used the microphone and headphones before, Matt?

No, it's happening over there. All right, say it again, Matt. What was the Carmelo news? First of all, hungover. Tell us how the Carmelo thing happened. Basically, I put it out on our group WhatsApp that everyone asked what the big global news was going to be. So I put a picture of Carmelo, hoodie Carmelo.

Oh, man. About 10 minutes later, it was all over New Zealand media. We've got a big leak. You've got a big leak. We've got a big leak, so we're working through it now. I knew the RJ news yesterday, and I was not a leak. No, you sat on it pretty good. I did tell everybody.

There was a lot of barstool chatter with RJ. Well, we did say it on the part of my take today. We're like, we just want a flex that we know no one else knows. So look out for a big, big information coming at 8.30. I was like, wait, what? Oh, OK, it must be get up. I think all things considered, we did a pretty good job keeping it contained.

I agree. So RJ, I saw the quote that you had that was very interesting. You basically were like, my goal has never been to be a college basketball player. You just wanted to be a pro. And I think that honesty is crazy right now, because most people, they do the, well, I'm going to play in college, and then I'm going to go to the pro.

So at no point, I mean, were you at any point like, I do want to go to college, or there's a certain college that I'm liking more than the others? Oh, yeah, for sure. I didn't really get this brought up to me until a couple of months ago, like I said. But all throughout middle school and high school, and even elementary school, I just, I mean, I like to go,

I like to college, and I like watching NCAA basketball. But ultimately, my dream was never to play college basketball. That was not my main goal, was always to play in the NBA. That's, I mean, I love that. I think that's everyone's every year's topic for its main goal. Not a lot of people say it like that. Yeah, they won't come out right and just say, I do not.

My goal was never to play the college basketball. Is there anybody who's like footsteps that you're following? Is there anybody who's like, oh, they did this so I can do this? Or does it feel like you're kind of blazing your own path for other people to maybe follow in your footsteps? I think I'm kind of trying to be a trendsetter here, because like he said, this is not academic reason, because I could have went to any school I wanted to, but.

Let's go. Flex. I wanted to really start a trend and just, I mean, set a bar because you don't have to go to college to get to the NBA. All the European players overseas don't do that. Luca never went to college, and he was one of the best. Yeah, he's pretty good. All right, but yeah, so one thing.

Jeff Goodman tweeted out that he said, good luck to RJ Hampton overseas. He'll make a lot of money and there are pros to this move. Unlimited time to work on his game. However, his brand would have benefited in college. Let's face it, few besides some NBA execs will truly pay attention to what he's doing this year. So what do you what do you think about that? I mean, he's basically saying that you won't have like the Zion.

I mean, right, because there's two things about this tweet that I don't really understand. One is who cares besides the NBA execs? Those are the guys you're trying to impress. And two, this is part of our pitch going forward that I wanted to tell you about, Matt. You are actually going to get a lot of Twitter buzz and social media buzz through our ownership.

Yeah, because we're going to talk about you a lot. Because I mean, with like I said, with like the media and like the branding over here, I mean, most people didn't know Luca until three months before the draft. Right. What pick was he? Top five? Yeah. Yeah, probably four. He was number five pick. Yeah. He was number five. So I mean, yeah, that's my point.

And what do you think about that, though, Matt? We're going to do our own branding. There's no question. I mean, I told RJ Barstow was the most powerful brand in the world for 1840, 40 year olds. And it's funny, if you Google the breakers, you get Obama, LeBron, Carmelo, and now RJ Hampton. So it's not like we're lacking.

We're not lacking media and Rick Petino. Forgot about our guy, Rick Petino. Can we hire Rick Petino? Offers on the table, you know, standing offer, standing offer for Rick Petino. Let's do it. So your whole family is moving with you, right? They are.

And I would assume that part of the reason why you pick the breakers in this league is because of the English thing. Right? Oh, of course. Yeah, because I think that's obviously a big selling point is that if guys want to do this for a year, they don't have to learn a whole new language and the culture is obviously different. But yeah, it's an easy place to live. It's basically I was telling his mom and dad, it's basically

like being on vacation for seven months. Now, what about what about spiders and snakes, though? Because I've heard that there are huge spiders and snakes in New Zealand. Does that? Well, I mean, I used to like people think I'm from Dallas. But I used to live like 45 minutes outside of Dallas, like kind of Oklahoma, and we used to live on like five acres. And there was always spiders and snakes.

Oh, so you're prepared for the spiders. I have to jump in here. There are no poisonous spiders or snakes in New Zealand. So that's a fallacy? That's Australia. There are no predators. There are no predators. There are no predators in New Zealand.

Wait. Oh, yeah. New Zealand is the one with just a shitload of sheep. Oh, are you scared of sheep? Are you scared of sheep and kiwi? No, that sounds pretty cool. Sheep could run at you. What about more sheep than people? More sheep than people.

There's a ram. Yeah, what if you got suffocated by sheep? That wouldn't be fun. No, that would not be fun. Do you want to break some hearts? What school would you have gone to? Who's number two? Who offered you what to say?

Which school offered you the most? What would you have gone to? No, if I'm being serious, I would have went to the University of Kansas. Oh, that's going to hurt so much more. Bill Self, I apologize. What are you going to do, though? Here's what I don't understand. Anyone?

I mean, have you have you been getting a lot of shit? I would assume on Twitter. I mean, honestly, I haven't really been like reading that much. I've just been texting my friends back and stuff. Good. Don't. I mean, yeah, do not. Most of everyone, most of the stuff I've seen has been good. And then I turn my comments to only people I could follow. Right. That's very smart.

Yeah, I mean, I there have I've seen some angry fans, but it's like, what you're making a decision for yourself. And not for them. Right. It's it's actually, especially in today's day and age, when everyone is all about player empowerment, except for when the empowerment goes against their specific team. And they're like, well, what the fuck? It's like, well, but you you're cool with guys getting paid.

And I think this is going to be one of those things where, you know, it's obviously piece by piece. But the NCAA is going to have to start having real conversations. If five star recruits start going abroad. Yeah. I mean, but like in a couple of years, the running down will be over anyway. So kids would just go stride. You would have gone straight to the NBA, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Come on, you would have came to the breakers. Yeah. I guess you broke our heart here, too. Yeah. I'm excited, man. I'm excited. I mean, I don't know how many games in bill. What time are the games on? Middle of the night. Middle of the night. I'm going to watch all the games.

That's not terrible. Well, I'm having a kid, so I'm going to watch all the games. I'll be up. You'll be up all night watching the game. What what's the big thing that you're going to work on your game? Like you always got to say that when you go into a new situation. Like, what's the what's the thing that R.J. Hampton is going to add to his game? Probably just like full court defense, like just locking somebody down.

He ripped the team up. Whole game. Yeah. Locking somebody down the whole game. Are you going to wear the short shorts? I noticed you were short shorts. Can you wear shorts because some leagues like have a van. Really? You can wear as short a short as you were. What's up with that?

Why is that coming back? I saw some of your a you like highlights. You got the short shorts. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, a trendsetter is like the new wave. You can't really with your shorts all along. Anyway, you've never seen out. I was like, yeah.

All right. Well, R.J. Congratulations again, man. This is awesome. Oh, can we say how did you report? How much he's getting paid? Can you do that? No. OK. All right. We won't more or less than I should have asked you that off there. Yeah, I should be less. I should have off here, but R.J.

Very excited for you, man. Welcome to the breakers family. Thank you. If you have any problems, hit me up because I'm I'm like good cop, bad cop. Like if if dad says no, you can come to me. Shit, now I'm mom. Either way, you can come to me if you ever need anything. I'm part owner.

So congratulations again, man. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. That interview with R.J. was brought to you by Roman Swipes.

First up, we have bachelor talk for guys that don't watch the bachelor that definitely don't watch the bachelor. Hank, what'd you watch in the bachelor last night? I was here with you guys.

So I didn't watch the bachelor. Not that I ever do watch the bachelor at. At. But for those of us that didn't, including myself, because I didn't watch it on DVR, Cam wouldn't stop interrupting people on the group date. Damn, Luke. P is Cam. Oh, it's a bachelorette.

So there's multiple dudes. Correct. Got it. Luke P doesn't realize Hannah likes other guys and Hannah had to yell at him to stop being so cocky. Luke is a cocky guy like Luke is a cocky guy name. If you see a Luke, there's a chance that he's probably a bit of a punk. Connor S had a one on one with Hannah, but she was sick. So it was at her apartment.

And when he left, he left posted notes around the room for her saying nice things. That's creepy. That's that's that's lifted from a memento right there. And that doesn't end well for anybody involved. So Cam Cam tried to get a pity rose and told a story about how one time he was told he needed a leg amputation but didn't actually need one. And then his grandma died and then he had to re-home his 10 month old puppy.

That's like when Marlon's. Yeah, that's like when Marlon's been almost gotten a plane crash because he had turbulence that one time. I was about to say, dude, pick one sob story and stick to it. Right now you're all over the place. Like, OK, the grandma that you almost had to have your leg cut off. That's when you throw in a 10 month old puppy. You're this is just too much right now.

Pick one of those three and really hone it. Also, I would just hone it on the fact that you beat having to get your leg amputated just through your pure mindset. Yeah, that's that's alpha. And then Mike called him out saying it was BS and Hannah sent him home. Who the him is. I don't know, but that is kind of mysterious. I'm guessing him is Cam.

So this is just the recap now. We're getting like people do know who him was, but we don't. Yeah, guys. Well, I mean, you tell me it was definitely Cam. You read the sentence again. Cam tried to get a pity rose, all that. And then he had to re-home his 10 month old puppy. Mike called him out saying it was BS and Hannah sent him home.

I actually don't know that could be Cam or Mike. I can't sounds like a loudmouth. I say it was Cam. I think it was Mike. Mike is the last sentence where him gets sent home. But why would Mike get sent home because he called out a guy. Yeah, he called out a guy for just having to re-home a puppy. Mike hates dogs.

OK, got it. I think it was Cam. Can't know. I think he just hates maybe he just hates the responsible dog owners. It's going to be so frustrating for people who actually watch the show. They're like, we fucking know who it is. It's just someone wrote a sentence that doesn't match up. Classic us right now.

Sorry, I watchers. Yeah. Add it again. Right now, Luke sounds like the obvious winner in this group. Yeah, he's got a little bad. And Cam, Cam got sent home. Cam got sent home. OK, I told you the sentence wasn't great, but that's OK. Yeah, we move on.

We have a just stop talking New York Giants. PFC, I don't know if you saw this, but Pat Shermer is comparing Daniel Jones and Eli Manning with each other again, which stop doing that. Giants stop stop like being like, hey, these guys are so much like because that's not what anyone wants to hear right now. I don't think. And then he said they're very common, their approach, but they're very fiery under the covers.

Yeah, so I think Pat Shermer definitely fucked both of them. Yeah, and I can't imagine either of them was fiery under the covers. But I bet I bet Eli Manning is good in bed. You think so? Yeah, I mean, yeah, he's got a mouth for sucking. He's got a mouth for something and he self sacks all the time. So he's always hopping into the fartsack. I I wouldn't be shocked if Eli Manning had a strong dick game.

He probably actually is a pretty good French kisser because his mouth is just stays open at all times. Hmm. Yeah, well, I'll put it this way. He fucks really good once every seven years. Yeah, exactly. You had a locker room talk for Will Mustchamp. Yeah. Oh, Billy Mustchamp, the Gamecocks coach, they asked him what he thought about all these schools banning the Oklahoma drill.

And his response was, I have no idea what the Oklahoma drill is. South Carolina has the cock drill. I love it. I love the cock drill. I've seen on fucking machines.com. And spin zone or sorry, spoiler alert, that actually just is the Oklahoma drill because what is like if you ban the Oklahoma drill, can't they just rename it and be like, well, no, it's not the Oklahoma drill. It's the cock drill.

It's the cock drill. I hadn't thought of that, but that's a really good. That's a good spin zone out of it. I also wouldn't be surprised if Will Mustchamp doesn't totally understand that that could be a double on tonder. No, definitely not. Definitely not. When he high, when he got hired there, it never dawned on him

that like he can't just throw around the word cock left and right, being like, everyone will figure it out, dude, because you're the Gamecocks. He just had like a bunch of old playbooks and practice drills left over from Spurrier that were like very obviously double on tonder names from the old ball coach. And will is just like clueless about it. Also, I know this will probably piss off our South Carolina listeners. And I do love Charleston.

I love the state of South Carolina, great, great place to visit. But I can't stand when South Carolina people refer to themselves as USC. That's the worst. You're not US that's USC is in California. I'm sorry. It's just the truth. It's tough. And I do like Will Mustchamp. He's one of those coaches that you need a few guys like him in college football to really spice it up, because they literally have no idea

that anything exists outside of college football. Bill, Bill Mustchamp speaks English like a non-native speaker understands English like he doesn't understand any sort of colloquialisms. If you told him, like, there's more than one way to skin a cat. He'd be like, no, that's not that's not true. It's just with your dad's hunting knife. That's it. That's the only way. Yeah. He also, yeah. I mean, he's got that like confused wet dog look on him at all times

where he's always sweating and always in a little slight state of confusion. Yeah. Yeah. He looks like the perfect mix between Jake Rudin and Doose Rudin. Yeah. Yes. All right, Hank, guys on checks. Guys, my boyfriend and I took a break in December. Now he's in a relationship with another girl, but we still face time every night and have a closer, meaningful relationship than they do. He says he loves me more, but for some reason stays in the relationship. Should I keep waiting for him or finally move on? Please help.

Yikes. That's a heavy one. Yeah, definitely keep waiting. It sounds like he's going to leave her any day now. He's definitely not telling the other girl that he loves her the most. That's he definitely loves you the most if he's saying it on FaceTime when he's really horny late at night. I'll put it this way. You need to get access to his phone and see what name you're saved in his phone as

because I guarantee it's not yours. No, it's like Philip. Yeah. Grant grandma. Whatever roommate you have, that's like you're not super, super close with. Right. Right. And you also need to make sure that you give him an ultimatum. Don't don't let him jerk you around like this.

This is bullshit. Be like put up or shut up. Let's fuck. Yeah, guys love ultimatums. Just be like either fuck me or stop FaceTime me. Yeah. And then he'll definitely commit to you after that. Yes. Hey, PFT, big cat and hanky. So my roommate's best friend is living at our apartment while he waits for his lease, the same guy who was all over me at the bar one night.

My boyfriend is also staying with us, but he saw the other guy grabbing and holding onto me at the bar. Do you think my boyfriend is wrong for wanting to fight the guy and wanting to, quote unquote, break every one of his fingers in half? I think he's dumb for being so aggressive, but he says it's just grit. What do you think? I mean, he is in the right to want to pulverize this guy's face. Man stop. Yeah.

It's once once he stops wanting to murder somebody. That's when you have a problem. That's when he's cheating on you. That's when you have low to. Yeah. If your man hasn't gotten in a fight over you in the last six weeks, he's probably gotten another girl pregnant. Wait, so the wait. So the guy who was who he wants to fight is living with them now.

That's awkward. Damn, that's really he's going to poison him. Yeah, something bad is going to happen. I don't know. Just make sure that maybe put some go pros around the around the house that way. When they do fight, you can at least go viral. Also, what if this dude just is secretly in love with the other guy? That's true. Like, damn, I want to fight him so bad you can't watch though.

Yeah, can't be here when we fight. That's what happens with guys. Sometimes you just want to fight somebody so so hard that you end up loving him. Yeah, next. Sup boys, I've been talking to this guy for a while, but there's one little thing that bothers me. When he gets drunk, he gets obsessed with telling people he's Irish. He wears he wears the flag around his neck,

flaunts around his Guinness and tells everyone he has huge balls, but a tiny cock. Like, I guess most Irish people do or so he says. The worst part is I asked, was he? I asked as he was talking to his dad one day and it turns out he's not even Irish, not one percent. What should I do? Take away his dropkick Murphy's albums. This guy definitely is like when Conor McGregor gets a fight,

he's doing the when one of us goes to war, we all go to war and all that bullshit. I don't know. I actually think it's kind of funny quirk. I mean, if he was 100 percent Irish, it'd be annoying. But the fact that he's zero percent Irish is kind of funny. Listen, we're all from Pangea anyway, so it's not like he's not not Irish. Right. I'm fine with it. It sounds like this dude is just he's gotten really into Irish culture. He eats a lot of lucky charms, listens to a lot of flogging molly.

It's a phase. He'll grow out of it. Yeah, let him let him be. Let him be. All right, last one. Sup boys almost every time I mention I'm going to shower, my fiance requests to take a poop first. Oh, as if suddenly within 10 to 15 minutes, I'm using our only bathroom. Disaster may strike and therefore he needs to preemptively empty his bowels just in case there enough, except that it's meant that since we've lived together,

I've probably taken 75 percent of my showers surrounded by his shit cloud. Am I doomed to stinky showers for the rest of my life? Help. Dude, this guy's a psycho. Just get a bigger. No, get two bathrooms. Disagree. Yeah, I think I think this guy's just smart. This is how guys are wired. If we're on a road trip and we see a gas station, we don't know when the next gas station is going to be.

We're going to fill up the tank with gas because you don't want to run out. Like he's just being prepared. Would you rather take a shower after he's pooped or take a shower while he's pooping? Because that's those are the only two choices. I'd rather him just take the poop at Scott Boris's office, to be honest. Sometimes it's not an option. And you know what? The weird thing about that is past PFT would have probably done that.

And I'm turning over new leaf because I've realized it's not always socially acceptable to poop in other people's places of business. And so this is personal growth for me. And I'll thank you to to applaud me for it instead of shaming me. OK, yeah, this you need another bathroom or this relationship is over. Like this will not last through the wedding. You can't do it. That's that's not sustainable to have to take a poop shower all the time.

That's not your poop. Why don't why don't you do it to him? Every time he has to take a shower, just unload one right before he gets in there. Yeah, you know, every time you have to take a shower and he says, I got a poop. You just got to say, OK, but I got to poop first and just poop on. Oh, yeah, leave the seat warm for him. All right, we'll see everyone on Friday. Love you guys. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Take on me, take on me, take on me
