And boys, I have a proclamation I'd like to discuss. Maybe debate.
I believe that we are in the worst three weeks of the sports calendar. Okay, let's discuss.
Three weeks from now, your favorite week of the year starts, which is conference championship week. Correct.
Starting a little later this year, which kind of bummed me out when I was looking at the schedule. So, I mean, it sounds like you have no respect for the window where teams can designate who they're going to get the franchise tag to.
That was part of my argument that I was looking at i was looking at stories today and the biggest two stories i could find is will t higgins be franchise tag well they've declared that he will yeah and his mom being mad about it but well walking it back we don't know because his mom said uh selfish bastards yeah on x the everything app and then people were like oh this is obviously about the bangles because the news had just broken that they planned to franchise tag t higgins and then she said no it's not about the bangles right so it could she might have been anything she could have been watching severance yeah and like this this milkshake bastard he's he sucks no spoilers uh great show though great fucking show have you caught up hank no okay i would like to say i wish i didn't say that i would like to severance my own brain after football season's over i was actually thinking severance we should have a severance for flights yeah that would be great for travel days although that's when i that's the time that i used to catch up on severance true i guess you just watch severance while being severed yeah you only think about severance then you can watch it again and it's awesome while you're watching severance uh all right so the t higgins yeah and you know will sam darnold will trey murphy i don't there there's basically franchise tags are the top of the list and then the other big story i saw uh was people mad about lebron ruining a picture in all-star game which is fair but that but that's okay i don't want to did ruin we should we should discuss the merits of that accusation but that was that was when it clicked in my head i was like this is what we have right now and i know that people will argue the all-star break in the summer for baseball my counter argument would be it's summer so you can go outside and do whatever this is it's these two to three weeks where we haven't gotten to march madness because then once we get to march madness then it's masters then it's nba and nhl playoffs then it's summer and by the time we get to july it's like football's about to be back i think these are the worst two to three weeks of the entire year right now i do enjoy the uh the combine week but that's specific to us because there's all the rumors that's when you can really play fan fiction with everything correct you're like what if the jets change their mind about aaron rogers we like going to combine week because it's something to do and we get to to see some people we haven't seen and do a couple interviews and i i i agree with that like next week's gonna be fun for us but i'm thinking for for the common man who doesn't go to combine week, I remember getting excited for the combine and then watching three 40-yard dashes and being like, what, what, this is stupid. And players opt out now, too.
Back in the day, at least everyone cared about the combine players. Who's going to win an island.
Yeah, now it's like the best players rarely even do the combine. Yeah.
No, really, the only stories out there, there's some baseball news, but again, it's all contract news. Yeah.
This is a great week if you care about numbers. Yeah.
And so, yeah, I agree with you. There's not a lot of action going on right now.
Thankfully, we have the Four Nations. The Four Nations saved us, but this is the bummer week where I would like to be severed these couple weeks and just wake up and have it be March Madness.
Yeah, we also have the news leading up to the draft where you start to get interviews with certain players that are going to be in the draft where they say, you will regret not drafting me. Every team that passes on me is going to regret it.
Cam Ward said that he pulled the Josh Rosen. Josh Rosen, nine teams made a mistake.
Made a big mistake by passing on Josh. Turns out only one team made a mistake, and it was the 10th team.
Yeah. Is Josh Rosen? I think he's like a doctor now.
Yeah, he's not doing much. I mean, that's something.
Yeah, there's a lot of doctors. He's doing okay with his life.
They give anybody a doctor now. Hank can get a doctor.
No, I think he might be lawyer. Doctor over lawyer in terms of.
Prestige? You all just, like, intellect I respect. it would be very funny if he became like a josh rosen doctor in chicago i don't know if that's what you're thinking no you should have him on the show no offense to lawyers but uh well oh you can you can read good yeah i could argue well i think that uh if you he should become a film a film guy like a draft breakdown guy yeah like a kurt benker yeah he's like i i know the game better than anybody i can identify a boss yeah all right oh war oh so he's in business school don't respect it as much as a doctor that's not he is in business school what what are you laughing he just bailed on the on the switcher he was, you have to tell him that he's in business school.

No, you don't.

You don't.

It just didn't have to be said.

He had to type it on the computer.

He was just on his phone.

It really didn't.

But it's just not something that needs to be brought to their attention. But they were like, I'm a doctor.

Yeah, maybe these three weeks we should do a buttoned up version of Pardon My Take where we get no facts wrong.

No, I don't agree to that.

But that's what Memes was just trying to do. who the fuck cares if it's a doctor or business who cares isn't every school a business school business school is a complete racket by the way they just you basically pay so much money to go and meet a bunch of people that then you can uh use to get jobs it's not like you're learning anything You're just meeting people who are also are in business.
And then you use those connections. You're paying for connection.
No, you learn. You learn how to avoid paying taxes on the money that you will make eventually.
That would be. Yeah, that is a good thing.
But yeah, we're in the we're in the dog days, boys. We're in the dog days.
What is good? Good. Good choice by Max to go Yeah, great choice, Max.
Wow, great vacation week, Max. Memes, I was reading up a little bit about the post-June 1st designation, too.
That's how bad things are, is I'm looking at clauses and contracts now. That's what they're going to do for Aaron Rodgers.
So it's essentially just saying, pretend that we let you go after June 1st, but you're not a part of the team anymore. Yeah, and announcing it allows teams to talk to Aaron Rodgers.
To start to move. Yeah.
It's like if a girl breaks up with you with a post-February 14th designation, but she really breaks up with you in January, she's like, I'm going to stick around for the gifts. Yeah.
But just, I'm also going to cheat, but just so you know, this is done. Yeah, he's gone.
He's gone. He's gone.
Would you you like to talk about the lebron picture yeah uh so they're mad at him because he was not wearing the historic and the uh the notable ogs jersey i did like those jerseys they were cool they reminded me of the whenever the uh all-star game was in san antonio in like the 90s and they had those awesome jerseys uh i do understand like he he could have stood on the side because people were saying, did Kobe ruin it? Or he could have just thrown on the jersey. Or he could have just thrown on the jersey.
Or he could have said he wasn't going to play beforehand so they could have replaced him with someone. That also.
Selfish. People are saying he was doing a silent protest.
He's tanking. He's going to start his own league.
The theory is that he's been, in LeBron's mind, he's been unfairly blamed for ruining the All-Star game. So he was like, fine, I won't play.
I mean. What a protest.
So he's been blamed for ruining the All-Star game by not playing hard in the All-Star game. It's the LeBronification of the NBA.
And so now he's ruining it further by not playing in the All-Star game. He's silently protesting.
Okay. Yeah, and then there was a picture war going on.
So, for people who didn't see it, which I hope you didn't because that means you have a normal life and you're living a good life and not getting into arguments about LeBron's pictures of the All-Star game, it's the OGs, so it's Kyrie, Harden, Kevin Durant, Steph, Jason Tatum, who was on team OGs uh Jalen Brown who else is in it there's one other oh Dame and they're all in their jerseys and LeBron is wearing street clothes and he's standing in the middle and then there was a picture war because Kobe missed a couple all-star games but Kobe was standing off to the side when he did it so they're like you guys weren't mad about this and then people said well actually kobe did it the respectful way he looks like a coach not like he's standing in the middle and making it all about himself it's the definition of stop trying to fit out and and start trying to fit in but this is he said yeah to luca stop trying to fit in and start fitting out show the picture instead of the video but yeah this is where we're at on the sports calendar that this is yeah there it is i mean it oh he's right in the middle he is right in the middle okay i'm gonna be photoshopped i'm gonna be honest with you lebron james ruined this picture yeah he really did people were photoshopping him out of it it did look a lot better this picture is so bad this is one of the worst kobe one one of the worst sports pictures of all time yeah it's how long would it take him to get changed in that jersey or just stand if he had just been standing on the other side of of dame it wouldn't have looked as weird because it just would have looked like he was a coach but he's lebron but he's also steph curry steph kind of ruined this picture too with two different colored shoes oh that's cool that's hip no i don't like that that's how they do it this is a terrible picture yeah it's the worst picture ever taken um also lebron can we photoshop hank's face on lebron you know the one where he's looking at the camera after doing the workout can you show can you show the kobe picture look at this is how you do it respectfully guys it's just in all the replies of the lebron picture it's also hilarious that kairi Arden and KD were just on the same team yeah that's a good picture see yeah Kobe and Brandon Roy look like coaches yes and Chris and it's great because Chris Kamen's getting uh just a nice bump of like oh yeah you were on the all-star team Chris Kamen's best picture by the way if no one's seen it, was the time when he was on the horse and it was taking a huge piss and had an enormous dick. Is that Chris Paul that's front and to the right on that? Is Chris Paul sitting on a stack of phone books? I don't know.
He'd look extra tall. Why does he look huge in that picture? Chris Kamen is spelled K-A-M-A-N, Max.
Oh, casual over here. Big time casual.
time casual look at that that's my tweet look at how big that dick is oh man but yeah so we're in we're in picture gate also lebron i i don't know how you fucked this up but he somehow fucked up the timing of dunking on doug gottlieb and dunking on doug gottliebb is the easy it's it's basically bringing the rims down to five feet you you don't really have to do anything dunk on Doug Gottlieb but he he quote tweeted Doug Gottlieb and said earn two not given got to give him credit though this was because Doug Gottlieb's Green Bay basketball team college basketball team was two and 24 LeBron tweeted this 12 hours after Doug Gottlieb's team won their third game yeah so he missed the he missed the window they were they were a two-win team for two and a half months yeah I mean good for Doug Gottlieb LeBron's giving him credit usually Doug just takes it yeah that's true that's true I'm pretty sureoug gottlieb also said like he was like a huge win 15 more to go which counts winning his conference tournament and winning the ncaa tournament i've noticed something about our good friend lebron james aside from ruining pictures lebron james steals tweets oh yeah dude i've i had that that's why he's behind on this algorithm was because he saw people talking about doug gottlieb probably on like the for you page where it was a tweet that was like a day maybe two days old and then he stole that take he's been stealing takes left and right and they're all about 24 hours to yeah on what everyone's talking yeah no i i've i don't know how to phrase this without having people be upset.

Kobe dying was tragic.

Correct.

Go on.

One of the things we lost when Kobe died was LeBron didn't know what his opinions were on a lot of things.

Yeah.

I think he had a lot of, I'm going to wait for Kobe to tweet something and then I'll tweet the same thing. I think I landed that well.
Yeah. Okay.
Jason Tatum might be kind of the same way. That's our good friend Jason Tatum, by the way, Hank.
Did dap him up. Told Hank the story.
He was in the Bahamas. Dapped him up and said, hey, my boy Hank.
Can't believe he was on the duck boat.

And he kind of laughed.

I gave him one of these.

A little nod.

Real cool walking by.

Yeah.

Should have asked him for a picture.

He gave me the.

I didn't want to ask him for a picture.

Too much aura.

No. It would have been like, what is it?

When a ghost takes a picture or a vampire.

No, it would have been like.

It's just a picture of me.

People are like, why did you just take a selfie from.

He's not even there.

If I'd asked him.

Nice guy, though.

If – takes a picture or vampire no it would have been like it's just a picture of me people like why did you take a selfie from he's not even there if i'd asked him nice guy though if i asked him flick up real quick i would have taken that picture and everybody being like damn jason tatum ruined this picture i know big cat saw jason tatum and made it a point to go dab him up i did yeah and i wanted and i mentioned you yeah i literally that's the only thing i said i was like hey, hey, Big Cat from Barstool, what's up, man? How you doing? And then I was just like, still can't believe Hank was on that duck boat in the Zula. And he laughed.
And that was our entire interaction. That's awesome.
Yeah. For you.
I know. Yeah.
All right. Anything? What else is? Raphael Devers' interview was very funny.
Oh, yeah. What happened there, Hank? He just said, I play third base.
Yeah. So he was told he's not going to be moving positions.
And then Alex Bregman, who the Red Sox just signed, the Cubs came in fourth for it in terms of money. Tom Ricketts is so cheap.
But so Raphael Devers, he's now going to have to move positions. Not according to Rafael Devers.
He is a third baseman. That was so clearly just a guy who doesn't understand English that everyone was taking.
Can we see it? Yeah. Where would he move? The outfield.
I think he has moved positions before. I don't understand when anyone's like, I don't want to move to first.
I would rather play first than third. I like the idea of him saying, like, it's not my job to tutor a young guy and show him how to play third base.
When it's Alex Bregman. Yeah, Alex Bregman.
You'd imagine Devers would be full-time DH. DH would rock! I would absolutely take that change.
That's just my position. How would you react if they asked you to DH?

How would you feel about that?

No.

Can you translate that?

That's just my position. That's it?

No, the follow-up was they were like, he was just like, I play third.

It was, I will not DH, I play third.

I love that.

When asked to play, DH said no i played third there it is there it is that's all i play third i play third i like that sticks your guns i play third um i mean what else there's there's it's just this is uh this is proving my point more. Mark Cuban brought that fan back courtside.
Oh, nice. Yeah, the guy that got ejected.
Okay. So now everyone's like, well, is everyone on the Jumbotron now going to say fire Nico? I hope that happens.
Yeah. And the more and more that has come out, because there's been a couple more articles, it literally just was Nico did not like Luke.
hank has a take oh i recognize that face oh let's go he grinned and then he shut himself up and then he grinned more well it's not yeah it's not fleshed out and i haven't been fully locked in for the past couple weeks but let's play lebron picture you know and and i'm trying to to write my conspiracy theorist ways but i saw lebr LeBron picture, ruined the All-Star game, failed on the team, ruined the picture. And you love All-Star game.
You always loved All-Star game. And the report came out a month ago or whatever that there's rumors about this new league that LeBron might be starting, which would tank the NBA.
What if the NBA forced Luka to the Lakers to force lebron to like stay oh because the luca thing still doesn't make any sense but i and lebron is clearly like doing something like something's going on where he's protesting or he's like he's got an axe to grind in some way and maybe the nba knew about this internally and they tried to send luca to la to somehow stop lebron from doing what he's trying to do i don't't think that's going to stop him from doing what he's trying to do. But, Hank, I do agree with you that the NBA has bent over backwards, or I guess bent over forwards for LeBron for the past, I guess, 15 years.
And now he's going to leave the NBA and then start a rival league to the NBA with, like, Saudi money and all this shit. And it's going to be very to see how the nba reacts to that after the guy that they've given everything i don't know how the luka thing fits into it but something we need to explore all possibilities so i like that your brain's going i i yeah i like the theory i i just i read an article that nico harrison i i think nico harrison like clicked on a tweet uh luka slander tweet we always talk about it you it.
The Luka's a cone. Yeah, the reply guys are like, yeah, like, LaFraud, no real championships.
He clicked on one of those with Luka being like, he's a traffic cone, blow by, and then that's his whole algorithm. And he was like, because he keeps saying defense wins championships when I'm pretty sure that's not what happens in the NBA these days.
And Luka basically carried them to the title round. He just hated him.
He just hated his guts. It is good to have a defense wins championships guy, though.
Oh, yeah, but you don't want him to be. Probably not leading your team in the NBA.
You want him to be like an old assistant on the bench yes you want him like a

white-haired guy who just sits there with a you know whistle in his mouth never blows he's like

defense does win champions yeah you want a guy that's going to get your guys to play like one

percent harder defense yeah ultimately superstars win championships yeah guys like luca guys like

jalen brown all these guys yeah all these guys thanks Thanks. Stop listening.
I listen. Oh, yeah.
Okay. All right.
Should we do hot seat, cool throne, and then we can talk some hockey. Oh, we should do our last thing.
We need to find a Canadian. This is actually very important.
It is kind of an eye-opening experience for us to realize that we don't have any Canadians at work for us. Bad job.
Bad job by us. So here's the deal.
We're going to stream the four nations final on Thursday night from the PMT studio. We would like to invite a single AWL Canadian.
I think this person probably has to live in Chicago, but where, where are they? Where are they emailing their application to be?

We want the most Canadian guy possible.

We don't want an asshole Canadian.

We want the nicest Canadian in the world.

Someone who's not afraid to show off their Canadian spirit.

Yeah, but I don't want a Canadian to come in and try to...

We might have to do some...

I think we'll send the email.

We might have to do... Me and Max and the boys might have to do some i think we'll send the email then i we might have to do me and me and max and the boys might have to do some some pre-calls tomorrow right to try and flush them out what i what i'm trying to say is i don't want a canadian i know i know what we're looking for yeah i don't want a canadian to come in and be like oh this is my moment i got to talk shit back to these guys i want a canadian to come in and just be themselves yeah if you're canadian yeah pre-existing evidence of being a solid Canadian would be good.
Right. Nothing that you've created specifically for this moment.
Maybe someone who, if we can timestamp it, apologize for the booing of the national anthem. That would put you at the top of the class.
Yeah. Or if you're a Mountie.
Yeah. A Mountie would rock.
So it's probably got to be in the Chicago area, or at least you can get here Thursday, but we're looking for canadian to come and watch the game with us for the stream so that we can say we have a canadian um i'm excited so who where are they going to send the email pmt bachelor party at gmail.com okay that's that's just a completely random email and we're gonna obviously we're gonna have to fact check because we don't want any fake Canadians trying to skirt through. We're going to have to ask for some documentation.
And yet explain to us in three sentences why you would make the perfect Canadian to watch this game with us. Yeah.
I'm excited. Very excited.
We're going to find a Canadian. Can't wait to beat the fuck out of Canada on Thursday.
Yeah, I've been thinking about it, and I have talked a lot of shit.

I don't know if I'm going to go phone hacked or Wi-Fi doesn't work.

I haven't decided what.

What the fuck?

What if we lose?

We're not going to lose.

Why are you thinking like that?

I'm just making plans.

No, yeah, this is bad mentality, Big Cat Scott.

Yep.

What are you?

If this was Max, Big Cat would crawl down Max's throat.

That's insane.

It is insane.

Yeah, I mean, I'm nervous about this game.

We're going to lose.

is Bad mentality, Big Cat Scott. Yep.
What are you? If this was Max, Big Cat would crawl down Max's throat. That's insane.
It is insane. Yeah.
I mean, I'm nervous about this game. We're going to lose.
You think we're going to lose? No, I don't. It's a must win.
I think we're going to win. You're planning a loss.
I'm not planning a loss. There's never been a bigger must win than this.
I'm not planning a loss. I'm just, I've thought about what, I mean, do you not think, do you think we think we're going to kill them no matter what? Yes.
All right, fine.

Fuck it.

We're going to kill them.

Fine.

It's USA.

You're right.

We don't lose these games. Players don't matter.

We never lose these games.

No.

The flag matters.

We've never lost these games.

We got the Tachucks.

Well, I just had so many Canadians be like, see you Thursday.

I was like, oh, fuck.

I forgot there was another game.

At least one Tachuck is hurt.

I think Charlie McAvoy is also out.

Yeah.

McAvoy is out.

So, all right.

So, it's not even our best.

Yeah.

This is our JV team that we sent.

Perfect.

And we're definitely going to still win, but we're going to do it with our JV team, which is crazy.

There's got to be.

I need more fights.

Yeah.

Need more fights.

Right off the bat.

Absolutely have to have more fights.

We were 2-1 in those first three fights. I think I gave it to us two and one i'd say three you know easy three you know uh okay so send the email we want one canadian here on thursday night to watch the game with us um and tune in we'll do it from the pmt youtube which you should subscribe we're over 600k now but keep subscribing uh all right do Hot Seat Cool Throne, then we will talk some more hockey with biz.

Thank God. You guys have righted my ways there.
What was the one that you sent us? The microchips? Yeah. What was that? Allegedly.
Again, and this is where i think it's like you guys

talking to me about conspiracies like it's gone to my phone and set up my algorithm that way it's

our fault yeah yeah yeah agree um so based spinach which seems reputable that's the name of the account okay uh someone spent 131 okay. That someone spent $1.3 million worth of Ethereum

to tell the world that there's a Chinese-grade Neuralink

and it's already been mass implanted into their military

and workforce to control them like bugs.

Oh, okay.

So if that's true, that'd be bad.

That'd be really bad with planes.

No, the plane thing is just like a plane landed,

crash landed, and flipped over.

And it was very scary.

No one died.

No one died.

Kind of crazy, right?

I mean, you probably can sue the fuck out of them.

The wings snapped off.

Yeah.

They were okay.

I don't want to throw the pilot under the bus.

The landing looked a little hard in my eyes.

Everyone seems to be saying it was the pilot's fault.

Could have been wind.

It just seems like these things are happening more and more and more

being in a plane crash where no one dies.

Oh rocks.

Yeah, it's like getting bit by a shark and surviving.

Big cat sent that to me as I was on the plane woke up and saw I like woke up

to them being like, you know, we're landing in 30 40 minutes and that's the

first thing I saw.

So that's all I was thinking.

So you're nervous.

Yeah, would have been awesome.

I don't think so. I think it would have been awesome.
I don't think I would enjoy that. I think it would have been to be like, yeah, I was on a plane that flipped and blew up, but I survived.
I was on a plane once I got struck by lightning. Really? Yep.
What happened? It was a super rainy. It was a super stormy day.
Okay. Thanks for that context.
It just got all of a sudden you just saw like bright lights just go all around all of the windows. And you were like, what the hell was that? And then they got on the whatever.
The flight attendant got on the thing and was like, all right, we need to do an emergency landing in Baltimore. Everything's going to be okay, but we need to land immediately.
And told us after the fact that it was because it got the plane got struck by lightning did it the plane get hurt yeah no we couldn't the plane was done oh like it was it was good enough to land but it was not like if we went any further it would have like knocked out some of the that's crazy i've also heard that there have been a couple birds that have gotten sucked into the engines, like Sully. Oh, yeah, that's bad.

But they're not bad bird strikes, but when they do hit the 737 MAX, it fills the cabin with smoke because the air conditioner pulls from the engine.

We've had that happen a couple times, too.

So not a conspiracy guy, but Neuralink and planes are crashing.

Yeah, but don't worry about it. Just keep living, man.
I'll be honest with you. It is kind of shocking that planes haven't crashed more.
They used to crash a lot. When you're ever on a plane, are you like, holy shit, this is crazy? Every time.
A big tube of metal that's flying through the sky? Every time. Yeah, I don't think about that stuff.
Yeah, no, you've just keep living. Yeah.
Comfortably numb. Why? Why would I put that in my brain? I feel you.
And then my cool throne. Maybe I have the Neuralink.
We did just wish for the Neuralink when it came to eliminating the offseason. You ever think about that? Yeah.
I mean, again, if you were a conspiracy theorist, you'd feel like that's, you know.

Would you want a chip in your brain if it made you way smarter?

No.

Tortilla?

Way smarter.

No.

What about severance?

Would you choose to be severed?

No.

If I could control it, yes.

Imagine being severed and just going to, like, work out.

Oh, I thought you were saying that if Hank had a chip in his brain that we controlled. Click was ahead of its time.
Click was ahead of its time. Okay, your cool turn.
It's fine, dude. Yeah, it's fine.
Boston Dynamics robots, Neuralink. It's fine.
AI. It's fine.

It's fine.

Yeah, my Cool Throne's bachelor parties.

My take, though, Hank, is if it is not fine, what the fuck are we going to do about it?

That's what I'm saying.

That's where I'm just like, whatever.

We're in the...

We've got a few more years.

We're not in a spot where we can change anything. That's why you got to buy land.
We We've got a platform. You've got to just keep going.
That's why you've got to buy land. Near water.
And spinach. Base spinach.
Raise your own meat. You've just got to keep going.
You've got to become liver care. Keep on trucking.
Can't do anything right. Just keep on living, man.
Okay. All right.
Your Cool Throne's bachelor parties? Bachelor parties, yeah. We're going through...
We were waiting until after the dust settled, but we're going through this week all the submissions. Where can people submit? This is the last chance you have would be the next two days.
We'll tweet the link again. Where can people submit? What is it? Is it PMT Canadian? No, no, no.
No, that's the thing. They're not having another email is unfortunate because we are going through.
No, it's not an email. It's not an link it's a it's a google sheet okay so we'll send that out and we'll put it on instagram

story and twitter and stuff tomorrow okay because we haven't got enough submissions yet right

well no we have female submissions we have a specific date range so it's like a lot of

submissions weren't inside of that so we'll i just wanted to give people one more chance okay

females april bachelorette parties count two if you you're not in April, probably a waste of time to submit. Yeah.
Don't move it to try to get into April to get on this unless you're a bachelorette party. All right.
Good job, Hank. Thanks.
Great job, Hank. Thanks.
My hot seat is Caitlin Clark. Again, again more contract discussions but her agent gave an interview where she said that uh caitlin clark is so good at basketball that she'll never be paid fairly by the wnba because the league just can't afford to pay her what she's truly worth there's probably some bit of truth in that that the league doesn't generate enough money where her salary will never be like equivalent to what she brings into the league yeah but it's also the god paradox which is like could god create a stone so big that he himself could not lift it because he's like all powerful but then he'd be able to lift that stone no matter what so what's the solution the solution i don't think there's a solution he's they just can't pay her i think the solution is just to remind everybody all the time that she's underpaid yeah which i have a problem with because she hasn't won shit it's true hasn't won any big ones didn't we do the yeah we did the hasn't won the big one draft and she was on there she's never won a college national championship never won a wmba national championship these are all.
So I think that she's paid what she's worth right now. She's got to win the big one.
Talk to me when she's got a chip, when she gets that ring. Max, are you upset with the Jalen Hurts discourse because it's like everyone...
Pete Prisco's an idiot. Basically, the way we do the NFL is if you win a Super Bowl as a quarterback, that's really all you need, except Jalen Hurts.
Everyone is like, nah, he's still not. It's unbelievable that the two most important guys in my life are Jalen Hurts and Joel Embiid, and they are just both the exact opposite player and both looked at the exact same.
Oh. Wow, that is the exact same kind of minus the injuries yeah i i think not in philly jalen hurts no not in philly correct a lot more respect nobody uh there's been some takes this this past pre-prisco said that dac prescott's better yeah he did.
I respect that, though. He was like, Jalen Hurts is a really good quarterback.
And then the whoever social person asked him 50 quarterbacks, and he said that Jalen Hurts was worse than every single one of them. Yeah, he had a tie with Trevor Lawrence, I think.
That was the best, was a tie with Trevor Lawrence. Well, he loves Trevor Lawrence.
He does. Who's not going to Pittsburgh.

Yeah, that's a weird rumor that just got tossed out there

because, number one, the Jaguars don't even have a general manager right now.

Yeah.

And, number two, he has no trade clause.

Yeah.

So, just erroneous on all counts.

And he's way too young for the Steelers to want him.

That's true.

That's the other part.

Steelers are more in the Aaron Rodgers business.

In conclusion, Caitlin Clark is not overpaid. Yet.
Until she wins. Okay, your cool throne? Yeah, my cool throne is steroids.
Steroids on the cool throne because that guy Yannick Sinner, the tennis player, you remember him? He was like the subject of a big steroid debate a while ago. Yep.
The World Anti-Doping Agency reached their conclusion. They said, yeah, we'll suspend him for a couple months, but he's not getting the three-year ban that we asked for.
Yeah, and he's also being suspended just in time that he can be back for the majors. Yeah, it's interesting.
So his excuse was he had a cut on his hand, and his trainer sprayed something on there. They got into the bloodstream.
And then the tennis people were like, oh, yeah, the levels were exactly even with what he said happened and now you've got guys like jokovic coming out and saying like we can't trust the doping agencies no shit wait maybe this is what we do the next three weeks because there's no sports on what if we just try what if we see if we can accidentally dope max like how how many of these stories are true where it's like we'll try to put steroids into Max without him knowing and we'll have him take a piss test. We'll catch his piss.
Yeah. I'm okay with that.
Okay. All right.
Great. All right.
So watch out. Yeah.
So there's that. Then the indoor mild time record, world record, has been broken twice in a week.
So now it's down to 345.15. Last week it was broken down to 346.63.
So they're getting faster. And at some point, I've always wanted this about 100-meter dash.
Like when is it going to be the fastest that you'll ever run? Right. Because the human body can only go so fast, right? It's the tracks, the bounciness on the tracks.
Yeah, but then also in the news was that organization that we talked about like six months ago, the Enhanced Games. So the Enhanced Games are coming where steroid use is encouraged amongst the athletes.
And I personally am excited about watching that, watching all those freaks out there. So in.
And if you go on the Enhanced Game website, it'll give you tips on how to come out to your parents as being enhanced, like you're a discriminated class. It's a very funny website.
I like that. Max, you got to read up on that.
We're going to get you enhanced. You're going to buy some steroids and just start putting it.
Not to my knowledge. I would imagine it's not going to be hard for us

to just put in a piece of cheese and throw it to him.

Have him sit first.

I'll be $800.

Peanut butter.

When we give Max's daily scoop of peanut butter.

Give me a con.

One of these times.

Go in on it.

All right.

My hot seat is working from home.

I don't know if you guys saw this.

Some guy who...

What's the guy's name? I'm going to find the tweet. He's like a big Wall Street guy.
Maybe Jamie Simons. Oh, Dixon.
Dixon. Jamie Dixon.
Jamie Diamond. The guy from JP Morgan.
Yeah. He basically just was on a call just slamming working from home.
Being like, it's over. We're done with this.
I actually agree with a with a lot of things he said well i would also like to see how many days in the last 10 years he's worked from his office true and how many days he's traveled but i i fundamentally i understand working from home is awesome for a lot of people but i do think that you lose his point was more the the younger generation is going to lose out, and I agree with that.

Not working with other people and having the coalescence, I think I used that word correctly, of ideas and things going back and forth, you will lose out. It is different when you're on Zoom.
I think it makes a big difference what job you're talking about. I think it's definitely an industry thing.
There are different industries where it doesn't make sense and it's fine and there's some like any type of sales or uh when you you have to you have to be together i think it's it's you you got to start get back to work i don't know about sales because you have some sales people that are just like absolute killers no matter where they work from yeah but i think working around other people in like competition that stuff matters i do think that does matter does matter. Yeah.
But it depends on what, what industry you're talking about. He's not wrong.
Yes. But he's not right.
Home's done. I'm going to say he's right.
I think it may, like, I think a lot of people just took advantage of it and probably ruined it for, for most. Yeah.
Like I think in theory, working from home could work, but so many people just fucked off that, which I would do, too, if I was working from home. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.
My cool throne is baseball injuries because we have one of the weirdest ones, and we've had a lot of weird baseball injuries, but Dustin May from the Dodgers. So he was rehabbing.
I believe he was getting Tommy John, and he was coming back, and he was to come back. And then he ate a salad and a piece of lettuce tore his esophagus and he had to get life saving surgery that night.
And that's why he was out for the rest of the year. I'm never eating salad again.
Never. So how does that happen? What kind of what kind of lettuce was on the night of July 10th while he was was still rehabbing the dodgers camelback ranch facility in arizona may went to dinner and ordered a salad after one bite he felt lettuce stuck in his throat trying to wash it down he took a quick swig of water moments later he could tell something was wrong and what may describe as a complete freak accident he unknowingly suffered a serious tear in his esophagus one that required emergency surgery that night dashed any hopes of him returning before the end of the season left him with a new perspective on not only baseball but also the fragility of life so it was he had to get he had a full abdominal surgery it's insane i've never heard of anything like this i have to imagine that he it got stuck and then he coughed a whole lot.
How does a piece of lettuce, unless it's frozen? I don't know. Shredded.
Hank, you're a throat expert. Lettuce can be bad.
Yeah. Recall.
This could happen to you, Hank. No, I'm off salads, too.
No, but the... The throat? Yeah.
The weed. The ashes.
Could have burned your esophagus. You could have had a fucking...
You could have missed the entire baseball season. That would have been bad.
It's a crazy injury. But we should maybe do a Mount Rushmore of crazy baseball injuries this year.
Washing your car. If you're a baseball player and never wash your car, you might slip and fall.
Yeah, the old John Smoltz burned himself while ironing a shirt that he was wearing scotty shuffles was a baseball injury what was his again he was cutting a turkey yeah glenn allen hill ran through a glass table because he was dreaming about spiders yeah i think there was what joel zumaya right he had the guitar hero shower no. Yeah, guitar hero fucked up his wrist.
There's been a lot of shower injuries too. Yeah.
Yeah, so we should definitely do that. I started just looking up a couple of them.
I didn't know this one, but Steve Sparks was a reliever for the Brewers in the 90s, and he tore his shoulder because he tried to rip a phone book after he watched a motivational speaker do it. That's an awesome baseball injury.
Yeah, I love that. So we'll do that.
Dustin May, I'm happy you're alive, but this is why you don't eat salad. Never eat salad.
Never touch the stuff. Never do it.

He's one of our best friends, co-worker, and citizen of the year, Canadian.
It is Paul Bissonette. We have him on because he actually requested to come on because he said, Oh, yeah, did I? He said, guys, fellas, the tides have turned u.s is better than canada in hockey you're our daddy these are all his quotes to me he said i'd like to come on and just and and kneel before the kings uh before thursday night get ahead of it so here you are we're better than you uh enjoy your robin win, boys, because Thursday night we're going to put on a spanking to you Americans.
You guys have been gloating. You've been calling us your 51st state.
Okay? You're imposing tariffs on our country, and now you're trying to take our national sport? It ain't happening. Thursday night you're going to mcjesus mccarr mckinnon and crosby put on a goddamn show and from the boston crowd first of all you hear me you hear me pft i'm not saying you're 54 you're 52nd we gotta get greenland in there first and then canada you can be 52 puerto rico that's fine yeah three we'll get to you guys when when you know in due course but yeah that let's talk about that shit pumping in the round robin stage because we kicked your ass biz admit it admit it was ass kicking both literally and like in the game but also we beat the fuck out of you in the fights i would say that the fights were overall a draw let's not get carried away here you.
You guys were the antagonizers. Hey, listen.
Let's get serious. We antagonize you.
Oh, you want to go? I thought this was hockey. You want to have a go? Is this hockey? You want to go? Yeah.
You want one? Those stories coming here, boys. Those stories in here.
All right? Well, let's get serious for a second. USA hockey is coming, and it's here to stay.
With the amount of development that's going on, with the way the NCAA game has evolved, the NDP, I think it's called the National Development Program that they have out of Ann Arbor, which they have like under 16, under 17, under 18 programs. Of course, World Juniors.

Some of those guys are already playing college who end up playing World Juniors. But you guys have won back-to-back under 20s, which is the World Junior Tournament.
Gold both years. So there has been a resurgence of hockey in America.
A lot of Canadian players, and this is not to take credit. This is not to take credit.
A lot of Canadians who have played in American markets have stayed and helped out with development in the minor league program, so it is going to continue to evolve. Big Cat, don't make that face.
I am not taking credit. I'm saying it's a good thing for the sport growing in the United States of America, and there's 330 million people here, and it's starting to get the respect that it deserves because of all the work that a lot of people have put in so shout out to the usa you guys got some players not quite to the level of mcdavid mckinnon and mccarr and crosby or anyone else in the top 10 of all time because those all belong to canadians but you guys have came a long way and american hockey is here to stay.
Yeah, hit him with the Ovechkin. Yeah, how about Alexander Ovechkin, Biz? How about him in your top 10? He will – you know what? He's going to go down as the greatest goal scorer of all time.
Correct. But I don't think that anybody would have him in the Mount Rushmore of hockey.
Okay, so there's 10 guys on the top 10. Is closer to the Mount Rushmore of hockey than ovechkin wait i would say that ov is once he passes gretzky for goals i would say he's probably yes going to be coming in around like sixth or seventh all time i think still a lot of people put stevie y ahead of him for the amount that he won and also put up points like him not quite the goals but from an all-around play perspective, Stevie Y is definitely ahead of Olvey.
Timeout, sidebar with PFT. You can't listen to this.
You can't listen to this. That was so patronizing what he just did.
He was like, oh, yeah, a bunch of Canadians moved to America and then they had kids. And, oh, you got college and you guys are coming.
He didn't say we're here. He said we're coming.
Although I don't think that saying when our citizens move to your country for like six months they want to stay there for the rest of their life is the own that he thinks it is. Yeah, yeah.
So we can't let him patronize us. No.
All right, Biz, you're back. Biz, so we at least beat the fuck out of you in the two of the first three fights in the round robin.
If you guys have all the studs, how come you didn't win hmm uh well one of the studs was uh ill he was not playing oh we're making excuses and and where we're a little bit thin in the lineup is on the back end and mccarr a lot runs through mccarr he's like a 28 minute a game type player in these types of situations now listen credit goes to the states not only did they come out with the fisticuffs they got punched in the nose with situations. Now, listen, credit goes to the States.

Not only did they come out with the fisticuffs,

they got punched in the nose with a beautiful,

you know, accelerating move by McJesus,

taking McAvoy to the outside,

but then they stopped the bleeding.

That was the only goal they ended up scoring.

McAvoy was physical.

The rest of the team was physical,

throwing the body around,

and then they locked things up defensively.

They didn't allow McKinnon or McDavid's speed to affect them.

They did an unreal job of angling in the neutral zone.

That's something that you guys need to learn about,

the angling in the neutral zone to combat that speed coming through the neutral zone.

And the Americans did a great job of shutting things down.

For one game, for one game, and you got punched in the nose,

and I get that.

But like I said, Thursday, we're going to find an answer an answer and we're gonna bring it to you in your own house let me ask you this question Piz I saw our good friend Liam Blutman who's a big puck head uh huge puck head was was tweeting about the lack of goaltending for team Canada and that a lot of the Canadians grew up wanting to be Sidney Crosby and didn't want to put on the big boy pads. Is there any truth to that or is it overblown and maybe just like a little blip where, you know, the Brodeur, the Longo, the Price, the Fleury, like that, that was something special.
And you'll get back to that. It's just maybe you're having a little downtrend.
Yeah, goaltending has always been a strength of Canada. And they've always been able to rely on three guys, bringing them to these international tournaments.
I would say that the position has gotten a little bit weaker in Canada. We still have world-class goaltenders.
Let's not forget Jordan Binnington won a Stanley Cup with the St. Louis Blues.
In fact, he did win that Game 7 in the Boston Garden. So he's familiar with the territory.
He's now entering for the Four Nations Finals. Also, Aiden Hill, who, yeah, maybe he doesn't have this longevity and this big resume that some guys have, but he also won a Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights.
And we do have some young guys in the pipeline. Now, the United States has definitely excelled in the goaltending position over the years like they have probably five of the top 15 goaltenders in the in the world now um Hellebuck has been on this incredible run I would say Hellebuck based on the last five years um not so much in playoffs or in big money games which is a good thing for Canada going into this one because the last few years he's had these incredible regular seasons where he won the Vezina last year.
He's probably going to win it this year if he continues, but yet bounce in the first round. So Jake Ottinger is another guy who he played at BU, I believe, and he's an incredible goaltender for the Dallas Stars.
And there was even a few left off the roster. So that's a position that Canadians have dwindled in, but nonetheless still have guys who can get the job done in that.
So this tournament has been incredible. It has been awesome.
I think it's gone beyond the NHL's wildest dreams how successful that it's been. I saw that the USA-Canada game, the round robin one where we kicked your ass, that was the highest rated hockey game outside of the Stanley Cup Finals since 2014.
So pretty incredible. Great job by the NHL.
People are watching this, getting excited about hockey. Is it almost too good, though? Because now I'm like, you know, regular season in the NHL is going to be weird to go back to after I've had this taste of ultra nationalism and just like caring so very deeply about a USA hockey game.
Well, I think it shows everybody why best on best is so important. And the league came out with a statement actually right before the tournament started where they're going to obviously have the Olympics every four years and the two years like offsettingting the olympics so every i guess every still every four years but offset by two years they're going to have a world cup of hockey where they're going to essentially control the best on best um is it going to go back to being a little bit boring well i wouldn't say that because obviously the quality of of play won't be as high but you're also going to be down the stretch here for who's going to try to make playoffs.

So the caliber and intensity of the NHL will now ramp up

with 30 games remaining and so many teams still in the playoff picture.

The way the point system is structured now,

it keeps a lot of teams relevant later in the season

to have a chance to make a run and capture a playoff position.

I want to say that there's like six, seven teams in the East

Thank you. of teams relevant later in the season to have a chance to make a run and capture a playoff position.
I want to say that there's like six, seven teams in the East that can still grab that Eastern wildcard position. And on top of that, you kind of have this thing that no one ever thought was even possible in the Ovi goal chase.
No one thought Gretzky's goal record was ever going to be broken. And they thought that with the way that Ovi was going and trending, maybe coming off of last year, that it would take him two, maybe even three years to pass him.
And it was going to be like, oh, God, this is kind of taking forever. No, he hasn't slowed down one bit.
He's still at his normal pace where there's a strong possibility that he breaks it towards game 80 to 82, in which game 82, they play the Pittsburgh Penguins against Crosby. So for him to break that playing against Crosby, I think that that would be a monumental moment, given the fact that these guys have carried the league for the last 20 years.
And they can't do it at the same time. Do you think that people in the NHL are surprised at how engaging it's been and how much people have loved the four nations i think that people were optimistic uh going in i think that a lot of people understood how good this american roster was and that all four teams had a possibility to win it does suck because the fins had a few injuries on d which kind of made them the fourth man out.
But that game changed

everything. It does suck because the Finns had a few injuries on D, which kind of made them the fourth man out.

But that game changed everything.

Even going back to the first game, Canada versus Sweden,

Canada got out to the 2-0 lead,

and twice Sweden came back from two goal deficits,

and it went to overtime.

It was this incredible three-on-three,

and that kind of set the tone for everything.

And I think that that made people even more interested. And then when that game happened, like I don't know if you guys heard, but you guys know who the Kachuk brothers are.
There might be people listening who are not familiar. Walt Kachuk, Keith is his actual name, is a bona fide Hall of Famer.
He will be put in the Hall of Fame. American player who scored 500 goals.
He's not in the Hall hall of fame yet the fact that he birthed these two children and brady and matthew should put him in the hall of fame just for that reason alone they should put his sperm in the hockey hall of fame in its own little section maybe in like a cloning lab if they want to make more guys who can sell the game because these guys are like these wwe characters who are not only very highly skilled they play fucking hard they handle their own business and obviously if they feel threatened in any way they'll punch your face in especially if you're booing their national anthem so they go out there but that afternoon before the game they started a text thread with a guy named JT Miller who's been having a chaotic year with the Vancouver Canucks who was to the New York Rangers. And they basically said, we're going to flip the bell center in Montreal upside down, right from the opening goddamn face-off.
And then you guys saw the melee that ensued. So there are so many casual sports fans that are now obsessed with this storyline of these teams meeting back up on Thursday.
This couldn't have been a better thing for the NHL. This makeshift experience that took over for an All-Star game has basically now turned into World War III.
So this episode that we're airing on Wednesday, we started the episode by saying this is the worst three weeks in sports calendar. There's just not a lot you know we're we're in that dog days NBA NHL this has just been incredible they've just captured everyone's attention it feels like Thursday night is going to be so much fun I do have a question for you well I have two questions one will it be a crisis when the U.S.
wins on Thursday is it going to be be like crisis in Canada? Like, oh, my God, we've got nothing. I would say for a week straight, everybody's going to argue about the lineup decisions.
There will be conversations of blowing up Hockey Canada and restructuring the whole thing. There will be dialogue about how hockey, youth hockey specifically, is far too expensive, how much it is to rent ice, how much it is to buy equipment, how the common man has been weeded out.
So it would be safe to say yes, it would be a national emergency if we lose that game on Thursday. Yes, that would be fair to say.
And then the other question I have for you. So on this same episode, right before you came on, we are putting out the bat signal.
We're going to stream because you guys are going to the game or you're not going to the game, but wit and Yans and all them are going to the game right on, on Thursday night. Are you, what are you doing? You're, are you working? So I've been on the road for a week straight and I've missed basically every flight's been delayed or are canceled minimal sleep.
I am going to watch from my living room in peace. Okay, great.
And zone in, and I'm going to watch every goddamn second of that game. That's where I want to be, on my couch, outside the noise.
Okay, so we might request for you to maybe zoom in between periods to give us a little update. So we're going to stream from this studio we put out the

bat signal for one awl one listener of this show who is canadian is going to come watch with us what do you think that person should be we're going to screen them basically all day trying to figure out who's who who best fits it but what do you think we should be looking for in our one token canadian that we're going to have sit right in the middle of us for this game? You should probably get somebody who has experience playing hockey growing up in Canada. Okay.
I think that you should get a blue-collar Canadian who's extremely passionate about hockey, somebody who has a thick accent. You are in Chicago, which is pretty central.
It would have been funny for you guys to get a Maritimer or something. It might be easier for you guys to fly in somebody from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Maybe Red Deer, Alberta. Maybe get a true Westerner.
I would imagine somebody of that magnitude would have a big impact on the stream to bring their patriotic beliefs in the Canadian hockey to the stream. So if we get it down to three finalists, can I text you the three finalists and have you decide? I would assume that you can just tell by the look of them.
We're going to get them to send pictures in and their I would assume that if you just look at a Canadian you can be like alright that's our guy I would say give me a 30 to 60 second video of them describing why they deserve to be on the stream and then I'll make my pick according to that. They have to provide maple syrup and every time the Canadians score you have to do a maple syrup shot.
Everybody in the room, that has to happen. Okay.
If he's not wearing a Canadian tuxedo, he's not invited. Yep.
I think that underneath the Canadian tuxedo, like under the jacket, he should go shirtless. Yep.
Yep. And he should be wearing a toque.
Okay. Wait, what are you going to say, Max? Hank and I are going gonna try and get them on a zoom to really get a vibe oh i love that all right so we'll so we'll get get us a three finalists uh max 30 to second video 36 30 to 60 second video and then biz will decide who the actual person is going to be and And ask them how they would solve the housing crisis in Canada.

Okay.

That should be their little trick question to see if they...

Who knows?

Maybe he's the next prime minister.

Yeah.

Biz, how would you solve the housing crisis in Canada?

I would just build more houses.

I like the people who solve it on Twitter,

and they just circle all of northern Canada. They're like why don't they build houses here that's it i see that like every week they're like why is there a housing crisis build them here it's just a circle of like the most barren land that's just so cold you know 10 months a year like just fucking put the condos here dude dude.
We'll get back to Biz Nasty in a second.

He's brought to you by Sleep Number.

Truly is delicious. I love the Berry Blast.
I've got the citrus crush right here. Truly Unruly.
It is delicious and it's 8% ABV. So it hits hard, but still tastes amazing.
Truly Unruly is a hard seltzer. It breaks all the rules, drinks light, parties hard.
It's high ABV, and it actually tastes good. It's the official hard seltzer of part of my take.
Find a Truly Unruly at a store near you or visit www.trulyhardseltzer.com. Now, here's more Paul Bissonette.

I got a question for you.

If this game is so important to you,

why don't you put,

why don't you, if you lose this game,

you got to move back to Canada full time?

I would do that,

but if we win,

then Trump can't even talk about one more fucking carap. Okay, deal.
And he has to walk back the 51st state comment. Okay, deal.
He has to take the podium at the White House, and he has to apologize to not only me, but all of my fellow countrymen about some of the inflammatory comments he's been making about taking over Canada. Okay, deal.
We've long been friends with Americans. He started this.
I'm sorry about the booze, but they were not directed at people like you. They were directed at the orange man who called us the 51st state.
The booze, by the way, we love the booze. I want there to be booze back.
That's what makes sports fun. It's fun that the the um like the political climate of this game is at like the perfect place yeah it's like okay it is serious i don't think that the tariffs are going to happen i think he was joking about the 51st state let's boo each other let's fight each other and let's go have beers after the game and say, hey, great job, everybody.

We did a lot for hockey.

Yes.

After a 6-2 Canadian victory with McJesus two goals,

Mitchie Marner with a goal and an assist,

Cale McCarr with one and one-two,

and hopefully a Marshawn knuckle sandwich.

But could you imagine if we beat you and then you did become the 51st state,

together we would never lose another four nations again. True.
We would dominate. Think about that.
We'll add Crosby to our roster. I think we got room for him.
He's getting a little older. Probably not McDavid.
Well, he hasn't won anything. Yeah, right.
So we probably don't want him on our team. Does that concern you that McDavid's never really won anything and now you're counting and now you're counting on him to win no it actually doesn't because it's motivated him even more to win this game i agree with what you're saying everyone's gonna screw hey listen i'm not being a hypocrite either everybody scrutinized olvy yeah until he won right but he won and then he won and then the monkey was off the back and then everyone called him a winner so for mcdav, yeah, I think he's won World Juniors.
But this is a way bigger deal. There's going to be 15 million people watching worldwide.
That would be my assumption as to how many people watch this game. This might go down as one of the most viewed hockey games of all time.
So McJesus has to win the big one. And the torch will be passed.
If he loses this one, would it be fair to say that he's the biggest loser of all time? I don't think that would be fair to say. Okay.
All right. Well, that was just a question.
I'm not saying he's the biggest loser of all time. I'm just asking.
And this is no insult to the Bills or is it jim kelly is that yeah he did win he or he did lose four times in the super bowl like straight right right back to back to back to back it seems mean he never lost the usa in a in a sport that his country created it'd be like if he lost a super Bowl to Canada in football. That's true.
That's

true. That's a good point.
I wouldn't say he's the biggest loser, though. I would say

that my concerns would rise whether or not he can win the big one. Do you think there's

a chance, McDavid, knowing how big this game is on Thursday night, do you think there's

a chance we see him not come off the ice? No. I think he's going to play around half

I'm going to go to play around half-torn. He doesn't want it enough.
You would have to drag me off that ice. I would not play all 60 minutes.
No problem. They'd have to send the Mounties out there to arrest me and take me off the ice in handcuffs and horseback.
This is what we're saying, dude. If he wants it this bad, don't come off the ice.
60 minutes. So hockey is an anaerobic sport, and you can't be efficient being out there the full 60 minutes.
It's just impossible. Yeah, if you don't want it enough.
Yeah, exactly. Mind over matter.
I bet you if you ask one of the Kachuk brothers, they do it. Why would you want to come off the ice to allow a guy like Sidney Crosby to also play 20 minutes? Oh, you're going to let another man fuck your wife too? Yeah, dude.
Like, come on. I'm staying on that ice.
Does he want it or not? I bet you if you ask the Kachuk brothers right now, hey, you're going to play 60 minutes. If we ask you to, they'd be like, fuck yeah, we will.
Well, we're the cucking Canadians. We do like to share.
Okay? Hey, come in here. Finish her off real quick.
I'm getting tired. The real reason we reason we asked you on today is...
We're like the Bonnie Blues. Biz, we love you.
Do you think there's going to be fights? Do you think we're going to see, like, at puck drop, first faceoff, are they going to drop the gloves again? So I was trying to do my best Don King impression, and we had Drew Doughty on postgame, and he's had an individual rivalry with Matthew Kachuk since Matthew Kachuk entered the league. They were both playing in the West at the time.
Matthew Kachuk started with the Calgary Flames. So keep in mind, folks, the guy that you guys have been bag-licking the most, the Kachuks, they both started their careers in Canada.
Brady actually still plays for the Ottawa West. You literally talked about their father's firm.
And you're saying that we're bag lickers. They have honed their skills on Canadian ice.
Brady has played for the Ottawa Senators, which is the capital of Canada. That's where our parliament is.
And Matthew started with the Calgary Flames. And when they would play against the L.A.
Kings and Drew Doughty, they'd always be battling. So I asked after the game, I said, hey, Hagel said he wouldn't back down.
And I know that you've had personal beef with Matthew Kachuk over the years. If he asked you and challenged you to fight, would you do so? And he said, I would do anything, anything for my country.
So we may see fisticuffs in that game. I don't think we're going to see him at at the drop of the puck but if there's a big hit maybe a little tomfoolery with uh running of the goaltender i think there's a strong possibility that they shed the mitts and they go toe to toe toe to toe okay so wait so matthew kachuk uh started with the flames in calgary and then he, and then he had to come to America to win a Stanley Cup.
Is that what you're saying? He honed his skills on Canadian soil to propel him to learn how to be a winner. To propel him to learn how to be a winner, just like all the people who play in the NHL, who are Canadian, who settled in the United States,

who helped you guys become a strong hockey nation.

You can thank us now.

Does it bother you when we bring up that Canada hasn't won a Stanley Cup

in whatever it's been, like 30 years,

even though every team that wins a Stanley Cup is full of Canadians?

Because we've been helping you guys hone your skills.

You just slap a tear off on us for all the Canadians.

in the next video. full of Canadians? Because we've been helping you and I hone your skills.
You just slap a tariff on us for all the Canadians that are coming over here to play hockey. Exactly.
And we didn't even ask for thanks for it. All we wanted was your respect and dignity.
And we've received none of it. You got guys like, you call him Connor McJesus, he's never won a big one.
We got big guns like Austin Matthews, certified winner,

that's going to score a game-winning goal.

Here we got hockey boosting your economy,

and now there's threats of you guys crippling ours after everything we've done for you.

So I would refrain from your boos that Boston Garden there, Mr. Big Cat.

All right, so I got a question for you, Biz.

The real reason we asked you on. Do you have a problem with your hands down your pants? I kind of, when I'm like, you know, nestling up to get a little nap, I don't mind having my hand on my junk.
Okay, because there was a video that came out of the Chicklets boys coming back from Canada down to Boston after the game on Saturday,

and you were passed out, hands so far down your pants.

Do you have a statement about that?

I think Al Bundy was on to something.

Okay.

Okay, just keep it in for warmth.

That was kind of fucked up.

They got you dirty on that one.

Yeah, they did.

Kind of like how the Americans started the game, sneak attack.

This is war.

And I'm hoping that Canada deploys the nukes like Tom Wilson.

This is war.

We have our own guy that puts his hand on his dick.

That's Max.

Max is just always.

There's nothing wrong with that.

It's comfortable.

Yeah, it is.

It's comfortable.

Sometimes I don't realize that I'm doing it, which is bad.

What do you think? dick that's max max is just always there's nothing wrong with that it's comfortable yes it is comfortable i didn't i sometimes i don't even i don't realize that i'm doing it which is bad when you got big meaty clankers down there you gotta move them around somewhere yeah that's i just wanted them for there are canadian natural hand warmers that's what we call them i do put my hands down my pants all the time the cfl the quarterbacks don't have that that pouch. They just put their hand on their nuts in the midst of the game.
That's the Canadian Football League. I'm so excited.
This is just such a huge win. We talked about it over the weekend, but what hockey did to the NBA this weekend, it couldn't have been a bigger difference.
Like the NBA, and I love the NBA and I love playoff basketball, but that was unwatchable on Sunday night, whereas hockey has found something that has gotten everyone so excited and like just so I'm looking forward to Thursday night like it's a playoff game for one of my teams. Oh, and as if this game needed a little extra spice, there was rumblings that the greatest American defenseman on the planet who was too injured coming into the tournament is now going to lace him up for the finals.
He hadn't played one game, didn't even attend the tournament, and they're calling in the infiltrate. Yeah, I love that.
Quinn Hughes. Quinn Hughes.
This kid is unbelievable to watch. And for those of you who don't follow hockey much, if play he's a water bug out there he's like a you could also argue the fact that kale mccarr is also a modern day bobby or but the way that him and quinn hughes are able to move around back there and walk the blue line with their shakira hips and and and their and their edge work with their skates and how they're able to find lanes to the net and they're they're theyman breakout.
They don't even need anybody else on the ice to snap it around with. They can just take it up the ice themselves.
They're fascinating to watch. Another guy to look out for, Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Wierenski, played at the University of Michigan.
He's had a tremendous season. Because of the injuries that Quinn Hughes has sustained and some of the time he's missed, he could actually maybe win the Norris ahead of him uh I think that he should also be in the heart conversation also based on what he's done for the Columbus Blue Jackets alone uh Jacob Slavin a smothering defenseman with a great stick another young defenseman in Brock Faber who plays in Minnesota the the general manager of Team USA is Bill Guerin and he brought brought this youngster on the team, and he has showed him that he looks like a genius for even adding him to the roster.
Like, incredible shutdown game against the Canadians. As far as the forwards are concerned, Jack Eichel.
He won a Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights. This kid is unbelievable.
The way that he moves up and down the ice, the way that he plays on the defensive side of the puck as well, the way that he's able to spread the puck out and distribute it, yet being so reliable. To me, he's like Shasha Barkov for the Florida Panthers.
That's how good he is at playing a full 200-foot game. Austin Matthews, who scored 69 goals last year with the Toronto Maple Leafs, giggity-giggity.
He is a lethal sniper for the Americans as well. He has not scored a goal yet in this tournament, but look for him to potentially have an explosive game.
I could go on and on about all the talent that has been developed on the American side, all thanks to the Canadians. Those are some of the guys.
We got two sets of brothers. Isn't that largely in thanks to strong, rugged American sperm? That goes without saying.
The Kachuk brothers are the modern-day Bash brothers. They literally foreshadowed this in the Mighty Ducks movies about these two, okay? The modern-day Bash brothers, and they are WWE superstars with the way they can also handle the mic so I am grateful for these guys and helping grow the game but on Thursday they're going to get absolutely fucking worked mark my words this is our score prediction 6-2 6-2 they will light up Hellebuck in an elimination situation.
When all the chips are on the table, he is unproven. He is unproven.
And Canada will take advantage of that. And Jordan, the snowman Binnington, will have an incredible performance for the Canadians in net.
Mark my words. 6-2 is a ridiculous prediction.
Mark my words. It's disrespectful.
Absolute spanking. And it'll be a message to you, all the casual hockey fans, and that orange man in the White House for threatening the tariffs on us.
I mean, I wasn't planning on booing O Canada. Oh, I'm going to boo now.
But because of the disrespect you just demonstrated towards our country, and I thought we were friends. I thought we were friends.
My Canadian brothers, I love them. But Biz, unfortunately, had to open his big mouth and say all the mean stuff about the United States.
Now I am forced to boo the national anthem. Yeah.
You started this. And I didn't boo the national anthem.
Yeah, you did. I respect all the freedoms that this country has provided me and my family.
I respect that. You guys disrespected us first.
We are not a 51st state. I can't wait till we steal your – I mean, you should just shut down Canadian hockey.
It's over. It's over.
Are you guys done? I actually have one last question, a rowback question. R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com, promo code TAKE.
20% off your first purchase. QZips, Polos, Hoodies, Joggers, Shorts, Roback.com promo code TAKE.
Where are you at right now with Blackhawks Twitter? Because you've been in a beef over Conor Bedard. I actually had your back, Biz, on the stretch pod.
We were talking about it. I had your back because I do think the one thing that always drives me nuts is when people are like, oh, Biz, I think they put up a graphic like Biz had this many points, Bedard's had this many points in the last five weeks.
Just because Biz didn't score 500 goals doesn't mean you can't talk about the game. If anything, I'd rather have guys like you talk about the game because you didn't have all God's given talent and you had to work your ass off to get to the NHL.
So I had your back on that. I think that's bullshit when people try to be like, you know, had this many goals.
He can't talk about anyone. I may have been a plug, but I do understand the game.
I sat right in front of the coach most of my career, right in the middle of the bench and observed and paid attention to all the little details of the game, every video session. And to pay attention to those details because if i didn't i wouldn't have been in the lineup and if i would have messed one of those little details up i would have been out of the lineup so i was just trying to help bedard uh i personally think i should be on the payroll with the chicago blackhawks based on me helping him train this summer on that hike we did.
Yep. Helping him with his face-offs at the Winter Classic.
Yep. When we did that little video in which what's happened since his face-off percentage has improved.
You're welcome. And then he was getting a little bit sloppy defensively.
So I called it out. If the coaches don't want to call it out, I will.
Because you guys ain't going to win no Stanleyley cups if he's playing defense like that so you're welcome big cat okay you're welcome so so are you like has it simmered down have you talked to bedard at all i respect blackhawks twitter for having their boys back i respect that but i was just calling it how i saw it if you're going for a stanley cup big cat and there's a big fat juicy rebound in the front of the net do you want your centerman who's supposed to be in support swinging into the corner and not stopping in front to potentially rid of the danger of the puck just sitting there in the crease what do you think I want him getting the puck out of there that's what I'm saying yeah and that's all I was saying on television and then they got poopy pants because their team sucks and they're going to be another lottery team.

Yeah, the Blackhawks are not good.

But listen, Bernard has played better since you made those comments, so I appreciate you calling it out.

He was incredible in the third period of that game,

and then the next game he played against Nashville,

given all the negative media attention surrounding it.

He had a goal and an assist.

I think that although not like Nathan McKinnon dog in him, or maybe like an assassin like Kucherov, I believe that he does have dog in him, and it will eventually be unleashed. He's too stubborn not to become one of the greats.
Some people are questioning his speed, his defensive effort, maybe his lack of compete in some situations. I'm not crazy about his body language some of the time, but I think that this kid is very young, he's very determined, and he's going to figure it out with my help, another fellow Canadian.
Would you ever coach? You know what? I don't think that people would take me seriously as a coach, given how big of a clown I am. Yeah.
But maybe down the road, I would consider it. You'd be a good coach.
I mean, I think you would, just knowing how you can relate to everyone, I feel like that's half of coaching is being able to just talk to people and get on their level, and you're able to do that. let's say this after we eventually maybe win a Chickal's cup in which we're

actually able to just talk to people and get on their level and you're able to do that let's say this after we eventually maybe win a chicklets cup in which we're actually competing against you and keith yannels team that's our team yeah so let's win one of those first yeah that'll be a good resume builder for you i forgot you have been a coach of of a team that has cannot win a roller hockey game let's let's win that and then hopefully spend little time with John Gruden, allow maybe some of his skills to rub off on me, and then maybe I'll consider. I love it.
I had one last thing I want to bring up because it was maybe my favorite, one of my favorite videos that I've seen this year. You were lucky enough to sing on stage with Nickelback.
Oh, yeah. There is no higher honor that a Canadian man can get than that.
do you feel like maybe you blew the Canadian load too early like that's something you do after you win the four nations and now it's like okay Canada's reached its peak already Paul Bissonette was up there singing rock star with Nickelback where do we go from here I never really looked at it that way um before you mentioned it and a little fun fact, Nickelback is Conor McDavid's favorite band, so maybe there was a little bit of jealousy and distraction at the fact that I got the limelight with Nickelback, and maybe that's why he's distracted from winning the big one. But I would say no.
No, don't put those negative thoughts in my head. It was an honor to get up there on stage with those guys.
I believe there are over 70 million albums sold worldwide. Those guys could put on an unreal 90-minute show.
They rocked it out at the Bird's Nest. Jerome McGinley, another fellow Canadian, was in attendance.
He scored 600 goals in the National Hockey League. I was just surprised that he didn't get asked up.
There was other hockey players there. I guess the Irish traveler situation is what put me over the edge and as the local citizen of the year, that's why I eventually got the nod and was able to perform, but quite the honor.
Nervous going in, but I got to thank our boy, Glenn Eballs, who was there, who had actually already sang with Nickelback and gave me a nice little pep talk uh pep talk beforehand in order to calm my nerves so i gotta thank uh only stance and he also got me a bonnie blue message for my uh my toronto maple leafs so he's just on fire he's my life coach i think i think you're in love with bonnie blue because you talked about her earlier you mentioned her again and then i saw earlier today you said that you would eat her box if it meant that Tom Wilson would play on Team Canada yes I think that uh it would be a detractor to the to the the Bash brothers I call them the BBLs because uh Keith Kachuk called his sons lunatics so I call them the the the Bash Brother Bash Brother lunatics the BBLs okay think that Tom Wilson, considering that Quinn Hughes hasn't played a game this tournament and they're going to add him to the final roster more than likely, I figure that they should just open the floodgates and allow any person to now enter the tournament. So Tom Wilson is a very feared individual.
He forechecks like a motherfucker. He will take a 20-gamer and elbow you right in the jaw.
and if he could be added to this and we could throw in the nukes i would muck bonnie blue's bin oh i would muck bonnie blue waffle uh everyone everyone subscribe to spitting chicklets so biz on thursday night we're gonna have you pick our can. And then I was talking to Grinelli as well.
So we're going to stream in here. And because the boys are going to the game, we're going to try to get them to zoom in a little bit during intermission.
And we'll try to hopefully get you on as well. You guys can actually tell us what we're watching.
But hockey's back. I look forward to seeing this Canadian that you're going to bring on.
And I hope he brings us luck. Yeah.
Yeah, because if he doesn't, then I don't. He's going to bring you Freebird.
That's what he's going to bring. You're going to get Freebirded to death.
We're going to play some Freebird. I have one last thing to say.
Yes. Oh, come and come.
Oh, come and come. Boo.
Boo! Boo! You don't boo my anthem! You don't boo my anthem, god damn it! Biz, you're the best, man. Thank you so much.
We'll see you on Thursday night. There's going to be a...
What do they call it when they took all the booze away? The prohibition? Yeah. We're taking away all America's booze and you're going to be drinking maple syrup.
That's it. Once we take over your country.
All right. See you, Biz.

Long-time listener, first-time caller. The other night during pregame, my boyfriend and his friend both had to pee.
Instead of taking turns like decent human beings, they decided to cross streams. My boyfriend says they saved water, which is good for the environment, but I think that maybe they're gay.
Is this a normal thing for guys to do? They might have been... Not in a bathroom.
Yeah, they might have been lying to you, too. Like outside.
I've done it before where you go to the bathroom and... You guys are pussies.
I mean, come on. I cross streams all the time.
One dude pees in the shower. The other guy pees in the toilet.
Crossing stream is funny. It is funny.
It is stream wars. Yeah.
Also, these guys could have been thinking about Josh Allen winning MVP if they went to the bathroom together. Just throwing that out there.
Yeah. But, yeah, I do it with my son all the time.
It's fucking awesome. That's the effect.
I feel like the – I do it with you guys. I do it with Max.
I'll do it with you. 100%.
I don't give a shit. I have not crossed streams like that probably since I was a kid.
Yeah. I feel like if you're outside, like taking pisses outside, you just kind of do it next to each other, but you're not crossing streams.
You don't actually have the sword fight. Yeah, no sword fighting.
No. College, I would cross streams for sure.
It's also- What's your favorite drunk move to do in the bathroom bathroom like if you're like in with like a bunch of urinals i like to grab my friend's shirt and pull them back when they're when they're taking a piss that's always fun that's a good one i like just dropping trowel all the way to the ankles that one's good too yeah just ass out in the bathroom yeah or just lightly do you guys ever lightly just not piss on their shoes but but piss close to their shoes? Give them a little warning shot? No. No, that's fun, too.
I think Max and I are the same. You guys are not doing it right.
I like really loading up for a fart in the bathroom. I have some friends in college.
They would just take videos of themselves taking a piss in a stall and just pissing all over. Yeah.
Not even close to the toilet. Those are the meanest things, but they make me laugh every time I see the tweets where it's someone being kicked out to Al and bang for three from way downtown, and it's just them pissing in the sink or something or on the ground.
You know what I like doing? I love those tweets. i like going up to a urinal at the same time as somebody and then you agree to take like one step back every couple seconds that's and you see you can continue pissing into the urinal the longest i used to do the thing i used to do this thing in college where it was like a super crowded shoulder shoulder to shoulder college bar and the line to the bathroom be super long so you would just go up and pretend like you're ordering a drink and just piss on the side of the bar oh yeah yeah still one of the funniest moments uh that i think i'm probably like once every couple months is on the floor yeah on the floor on the bar like you're like hey can i you're you're talking to a bartender you're like hey can i i've seen can i get two truly's as you're as you're pissing on the bar my uh i went to the rose bowl with all my college friends i think it was the 20 whatever it was the oregon one and we were just we lost and we pissed off went to dinner later we're in a booth and like two of my friends like one of those huge booths that like takes forever to get out of and one of my friends on the end was just in a bad mood he just started pissing in my other friend's lap across the booth and he couldn't get up he pissed his pants that's just funny he couldn't move he was just stuck there oh so he literally like jumped back he's like what the fuck and there was just a stream of piss going into his lap.
That shit's funny. That's funny.
Didn't that happen to Drake? Did it? Yeah, I think Drake got pissed on. Oh, like in what setting? I think he was like at a movie theater or something.
That's awesome. Yeah.
Dude, listen, maybe not like I assume these guys are in their 20s. Yeah.
This is when you do it. Do it.
Enjoy it. Piss on each other.
It's fun. It's funny.
It's very fun. Pissing in trash cans.
Do that all the time when there's a, like, at a game. Yeah, I mean, peeing outside is way more fun than peeing inside, for sure.
Hi, Big Cat and PFT. My boyfriend is in the group chat with seven other guys he grew up with.
They're all in their early 30s. They have a main chat and subchats for certain topics.
One of them is about sex, and my boyfriend is the only one in that friend group that refuses to join that subchat. Should I be proud of him that he keeps our sex life private, or should I be concerned that he doesn't have some locker room talk with his boys? Thanks.
He's in the chat. He just tells you that he's not in the chat.
Because he knows that you're going to bother him and be like, tell me what's in that chat. Yeah, what did you say about me in that chat? He's probably the most in that chat.
That's kind of a weird chat. I feel like, yeah, I feel like that stuff is like, if you're single or kind of dating around.
That's college. But if you're talking about your fiancé or wife, it's just kind of like, all right, you know them.
Yeah, I hit that. Yeah.
what i think it's awesome if yeah if you're single and you're cruising but then the second your friend has a girlfriend it's like i don't want to hear that that's gross yeah yeah kind of a weird chat um but pisses on your guys that's cool for sure just so we know the lines if it's in the shower you're trying to prevent them from getting athletes speaking of shower my husband i'm 99. For sure.
Just so we know the lines. If it's in the shower, you're trying to prevent them from getting athletes.
Speaking of shower, my husband, I'm 99% sure, uses our shower as his jerk off spot. I've never caught him, but he usually takes very long showers and I swear the drain continues to clog worse and worse.
He blames it on my hair getting in the drain or that he's pooping prior to showering, which is why it takes so long. Is he pooping in the...
However, I'm the one who always cleans our shower weekly and only find hair on the walls. Plus, I've cleaned some questionable substance off the shower floor.
What's my best course of action? Should I bust in the bathroom on one of his especially long showers to catch him or just ask him to jerk off somewhere else and call him out on it? It's kind of gross, kind of awkward. You can't ask him to jerk off somewhere else.
Is any place okay? That should be one of the sacred places that a man has. Also, it is your hair.
It is your hair that's clogging the drain. Yeah, yeah.
It's not semen. No, there's that thing that goes viral every year.
Somebody puts up a fake picture at their college that says, like, you guys need to stop jerking off in the showers because it's clogging the drains. That's never happened.
Yeah. Drains are robust in America.
Yeah, just let them shower. Let them enjoy a shower.
Also, it depends on the time. Like, you guys probably agree, like, wintertime, I take longer showers.
I just get stuck in the hot shower. And I just don't get out.
There's something to the shit thing, too. I do that all the time.
I'll turn the shower on, let it heat up while I'm taking a poop. He's not pooping in the shower unless he's doing the thing where you stop on the, you stop the poop down the drain.
Yeah, who was the celebrity that did that? I don't know. I thought there was...
That's definitely... He's sitting on the toilet and jerking off while letting the shower run.
Wait, you're saying he's blumpkinging himself? Yeah. 100%.
He's shitting and jerking off? He's shitting and jerking off. Shitting, shit, then jerking off.
He's giving himself a blumpkin? Yeah. Also, yeah, Google says, no, a shower drain is highly unlikely to clog from semen alone.
Makes no sense.

I think that was a college myth.

Yeah.

Big time.

Wait, there was.

Why am I remembering?

There was some, like, it wasn't true.

It was kind of like the Richard Gere gerbil thing where, like, some A-list celebrity would just shit in every shower he ever went into in a hotel.

And then just mash it down the drain with his foot.

I wish someone would tell me. I think it was Jeff Goldblum it might have been yeah all right last one uh when football season ended i was excited to spend more time with my boyfriend on sundays but this sunday he played golf in the morning got home around three turned on golf and when that ended he immediately turned on nascar which he's literally never watched before but was talking about some parlay and how he had to watch.
Does it ever end?

When can I spend time with him on weekends?

Listen, this was a tough Sunday.

He was trying to fill the void and come down

from everything that's happened in the last five months.

So you got to give him this one.

But yeah, he's got to give you a couple Sundays here and there.

That is really pushing the limits, though, for a girlfriend

that's used to obviously football, basketball, baseball, hockey. And then he's like, oh, yeah, we're doing golf and NASCAR on Sunday.
But, yeah, this was a transition weekend. Yeah.
He can't just jump right into, oh, let's go apple picking or whatever the fuck you do. You can't really do anything in February.
Well, it sounds like you there somewhere warm. Yeah, it sounds like he golfed.
Yeah, it's true. That'd be funny if he just went.
That'd be funny if he just went to a simulator. Got to go.
All right. Good show, boys.
Numbers. Now that we're one, by the way, just just clear that.
