Today is Friday, June 28th, and we are back in studio, back alive, barely, and we're ready to have a great show. Technically alive.
brains might be dead but our body our heart's still beating and it's still beating because we had such an electric first round of the nba draft oh my god it was thrilling for everybody i think um i actually had second round grades on everybody selected in this draft the entire first round and the second round included. Yeah, I mean the most notable things

that have happened so far in the draft, we're actually

recording this right before we think

Bronny's going to get drafted by the Lakers.

Apparently Rich Paul's been calling

everyone saying that if he doesn't

get drafted by the Lakers or the Suns

he's going to Australia.

Get ready to put another strip on the Barbie. Yeah, get

ready to learn Australian, buddy.

But, so we're waiting for that. Oh, Cam Spencer just got not drafted.
Drafted. Cam Spencer just got drafted by the Celtics.
Wait, I thought. Oh, yeah, Cam Spencer can't come back.
Celtics are up. The draft.
The biggest note I had was Alex Sar, the second pick. Your Washington Wizards.
Baby Wimby. Does look like Caitlin Clark.
That's fine. Did you see that viral tweet? I did see it.
And it's like the Troy Aikman Jay-Z. She's a winner.
Yeah. Well, never won a big one.
I mean, I would be ecstatic if the Wizards lost like three NBA championships in a row. Yeah.
That would give me so much fun stuff to root for. True.
Hey. I'm into that.
What if the Celtics did the funniest thing ever in a draft that brought you? I would love it. It'd be amazing.
All right. We'll find out in a second.
Yeah, this was the least notable NBA draft. I'm hoping this draft, we go back to it and we're like, it was so loaded, everyone got it wrong.
That's what I'm rooting for. Maybe there's some people in the second round that are going to be great uh i got two things i'm a little bit pissed off about permission to go there yeah do your fucking trades like a normal league correct do your trades normally don't announce them normally announce them normally they do them normally they don't announce them announce them normally what the what the hell is going on via via via no just put a different logo on there i'm dumb i can't understand i i see the first team and then i'm like oh their logo is everywhere that must be who this player is getting picked by do it normally and then he announced it way after yeah just tell me what happened we know what happens yeah every other league has this figured out why does the nba what what is it that's different about basketball i don't know that makes them do it all very bizarre very bizarre i hate it figure it out um number two the other team should draft brawny take and hold them hostage for lebron james to come rescue him i think we we talked about that like three weeks ago when we did our big draft preview huge draft preview um but now everyone's given credit to bill simmons for it yeah oh Oh, well.
Oh, it happens. It happens.
It happens in the podcasting game. Yeah, Bronny, this has been the whole broadcast, by the way.
It's just Bronny. That's why they went two days.
They did not need to go two days. I don't know why.
Here's another one. NBA, I like it.
I love basketball. I love the NBA.
You're not not the NFL you don't get two days okay like the the first round was already a bunch of French guys and people that we didn't watch play basketball last year and now you're going to make us do two days of this that's nothing too many French way too many French to me this is kind of the takeover is is happening Dr. Mason Naismith is rolling over in his peach basket.
Yeah. I did.
The Bulls drafted Matas Buzalas, and I did actually see him up close and personal because he worked out at Barstool Chicago, and I had a first 1-1 grade on him. Oh, did you? Yep.
That's tremendous value then. Yep.
I saw him. He made some shots.
No one was guarding him. How's he going to pair with- That guy is awesome.
How's he going to pair with Josh Giddey? Fine. Good.
Get along. He's French? No, he's from Hinsdale.
Hinsdale. Hinsdale.
And he's got- Is Highland Park just like the biggest town in Chicago? No, that's just- That's where we just played golf. I think a lot of people are from Highland Park.

Matas, what were you going to say?

I was going to call out Hank for laying down on the couch.

I'm trying to watch. Trying to watch.

Trying to watch.

Well, that's why I turned it off, and you were like,

but you asked what I was going to say.

That's what I was going to say.

Hank, you got Baylor Shireman.

He's another guy you can mistake for Kristaps Porzingis.

He's a lefty.

I love what I saw from Baylor. Excited to have him on.
Lefties are the best. Shoot the rock.
I based my entire draft profile on what was that guy's name from Duke line. Christian Laettner.
No. Jared McCain.
Drafted by the Pistons. Not Singler.

This hurts.

This hurts. Our NBA street cred.

What the fuck was his name?

He was a lefty.

I think he's still in the NBA.

He was a lefty, and he dribbled behind his back.

Lefty.

Kennard.

Yeah, Luke Kennard.

There he is.

Who does he play for now?

Clippers?

Sounds like he'd be a duck. Luke he is.
Who does he play for now? Clippers? Sounds like he'd be Duck. Luke Kennard.
Where does he play for? Memphis. No.
Memphis. All right, Hank, you have selected Anton Watson from Gonzaga.
Hell yeah. Anton Watson.
Quick thoughts. Ha-ha.
Anton. What? He's from Gonzaga.
He's from Gonzaga. Anton.

When I hear Anton.

You think Gonzaga.

I think Anton Walker.

Anton Watson is from Idaho.

Nice.

That's like the France of the United States.

Probably about the same size.

They both love potatoes.

Oh, this is a fun fact about Anton Watson. He went to Gonzaga prep school in spokane washington and then went to gonzaga that's fun that's pretty cool he's only played for gonzaga uh yeah this draft is uh pretty unremarkable yeah max how do you how we feel about your uh fingernail bros uh hold on meme just said that Breaking news.
Breaking news. Breaking moves.
JJ Redick looks weird in the Lakers hat. I'll say that right now.
Breaking moves. Memes? What's the breaking moves? My brain is so bad.
I almost said the Los Angeles Lakers are selecting Brawny James with the number 55 pick in the 2024 NBA draft, sources say. LeBron and Bronny James to become the first ever father-son dude to be in the NBA at the same time.
Of all the shocking things I've seen in my life, this has got to be number one. Wait, isn't he? Nepotism strikes again.
Isn't he going to go to Australia? He said if any team drafted him. He's going to Australia.
Shams keeps getting his count locked. Alright.
I'm looking forward to Bronny on the Lakers. This is going to be good for the storylines.
Yeah, how did he fall this way? How did he fall that far? That's crazy. Are they going to live together? Like I said, what...
Oh no, we actually said it in the Jimmy Tatro interview, so I can't say it again. I'd be ripping off my own line.
All right, congrats to the Lakers. Congrats to Bronny.
Congrats to Bronny. Well-deserved.
I'm going to say that. I'm going to be really nice, humble.
You know what stinks, though, for Bronny? Going on your first road trips with an NBA team. You're a baller.
Maybe you've got a contract, a few dollars in your pocket, and then your dad is hanging out with you. Yeah.
But your dad, I mean, he'll show them. It'll be cool.
You know, they'll have fun together. So doesn't JJ look weird in the Lakers hat? He looks weird in a hat.
Yeah. We need to get Will Compton's thoughts on that.
Sounds like you're being a hater. Do you hate JJ? All right, so Bronny to the Lakers, official.

No one could have seen that coming.

Max, fingernails.

Fingernails.

I painted my fingernails today.

For this five seconds.

For this five seconds.

I regretted this.

Yeah, why?

Like immediately after I did it, I regretted it.

Who talked you into it?

Oh, look at the Lakers.

They're shaking hands.

We got them. We got our men.
How do we do this wow incredible work uh so max yeah the fingernails or is that it uh no i like jerry mccain i think he's good i was like i was fired up about him last night and then i think good he is good he's very good and then i texted page and i was like can you bring the fingernail and i did the fingernails thing this morning and then the more time has passed the the less i care about it and now i just have white white painted fingernails it's gonna be like that for a while now yeah no i mean i can take them off yeah i but i had like last night i was like i'm gonna recreate all i'm gonna recreate his tiktoks i'm like i'm not doing any of that yeah you should recreate should recreate one. Maybe I'll recreate one.
But he's the best shooter in the draft. He's the best shooter since Steph Curry.
He's better than Reed Shepard? Reed Shepard led the league in three-point percentage. I'll read you this stat.
There have been two freshmen in NCAA history with a .611 plus true shooting percentage. 210 three-point attempts, and 150 plus rebounds, and that's Jared McCain and Steph Curry.
Okay, but Reed Shepard... Shout out David Murphy.
But Reed Shepard shot better from three. I don't think you understood my stat that I just said.
Yeah, because I don't think you understand my stat that I just said. You can choose your stats.

I'll choose my stats.

Okay.

You know what?

I'm excited to see LeBron and Brownie.

No, it's going to be good.

It's going to be fun.

It's going to be good for talking about basketball.

Yeah, it's going to be fun.

It's going to get annoying because it's going to be all a lot of people talk about basketball.

But I'm excited to watch them play together.

It's cool.

Father, son, that's fucking cool. If one of them throws an alley-oop to the other, that's going to be a good moment.
It's going to be crazy. But yeah, this is cool.
I think it's kind of weird for Bronny, but it's cool. I think it's a little bit weird for both of them.
Yeah. Well, not for LeBron.
He's LeBron. I don't think anything's weird for him anymore.
It's a little bit weird, and we'll get to that with Jimmy Tatro. Yeah.
Okay.

The only other story I had

from this draft. Well, Zach

Eadie to the Grizzlies. I was worried the Bulls were going to take him.

I wish him luck.

Congrats to Zach Eadie for real being a

top 10 pick because I

think that was a lot of people

were ripping him.

I always ripped him for different reasons. Not that

he couldn't play basketball, but a lot of people were like, oh, get ready to learn like Slovenian, buddy. Top 10 pick.
Pretty good. I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean,

I mean, I mean, I mean,. Any other notable draft? I mean, Dalton Kinect fell all the way to 17, which was a little shocking.
And I don't have any other big things except Kyle Filippowski story is very weird. It's beyond weird.
Also weird that we didn't find out about this till today. Yeah, that we didn't know about his old girlfriend who is potentially recruiting him to be a Mormon and he hasn't talked to his family.
Yeah, he's got a 28-year-old girlfriend who has been dating him since he was a senior in high school. It is funny that he got drafted by Utah.
Yeah. This is all part of the plan.
But I think he fell in the draft because of this. To Utah.
Yeah, to Utah. Maybe Utah told everyone.
I think he fell in the draft because I think he was going to be a first-rounder, and he had apparently weird answers in his interviews. And yeah, didn't know that.
It's very interesting. Didn't know that that it might have been the exact same thing as brawny it's like if you draft him he will instead just move to utah yeah so don't draft him yeah all right any other big pictures any other t you know what i'm gonna i'm gonna say it uh everyone fill the need yeah hey you know what everyone got a nice developmental project that we would not be surprised looking back five years from now and saying that's a good role player i'm really rooting for this draft to be awesome because it would be great to just shine it on everyone's face like no one knows ball that would be great yeah but i think they even had it on the espn broadcast after uh zachari resacher uh the first pick overall i think someone said like he's a great three and d guy role player type yeah that's that's what you want to hear with the number one overall yeah that's never that's never a great sign uh okay anything else before we kick it to ourselves again quick reminder about our schedule coming up monday we have dungeon and & Dragons.
Wednesday we'll have an update of all NBA free agencies,

so it'll be a fresh show, but it'll be also Dingers Only and Gunnar Henderson.

So that is our schedule.

No show Friday.

And then we come back strong with Joe Burrow on the Monday after July 4th.

Anything else?

I think that's good.

Okay.

NFL Sunday ticket lawsuit.

The NFL has to pay $4.7 billion.

But Mike Florio said it's just going to stay in appeals forever. Probably.
But what does that mean? $4.7 billion, does that mean we all get like $200? Sure. Okay.
Debate thoughts before it happens. Oh, I- America loses.
No, here's my problem with the debate tonight. This should have been my Fyre Fest, actually.
I don't know who to vote for. I'm undecided.
I think they're both great candidates. And I think they both made a lot of outstanding points tonight and did a great job.
And I think this is going to be a very hard decision because they're both... I'm an undecided voter.
And this is... It's making my life very tough.
I wish you didn't ask this question. America loses.
We have a country of 360 million people. And all we can find is two guys that are fucking 80 years old.
America loses. We have a country of 360 million people and all we can find is two guys that are fucking 80 years old.
America loses. Two 80 year old guys with cokehead sons.
Yeah. Yeah.
Good debate thoughts. That's actually the best part about them.

That was a tough wake up and realize. I was like, why did I do that?

That was so weird of me.

Yeah, no, I don't love the McHale trade, obviously,

but that was tough.

It's like the best friends in the whole world that were also your best friends are now, excuse me,

playing for the team you don't like.

Yeah, no, that sucks.

And they're having a great time.

And Jay Wright's going to coach them.

Yep.

But why do I hate JJ Redick?

What?

No, Max doesn't like JJ.

That's what oh yeah that's what will say i'm saying that big enemies okay so this is gonna be a good one memes can you probably this one will get a little bit contentious because the last one i feel like we were it was just like good pick good pick very supportive where is it uh it's in the actual. Well, it's because it was things you say to your drunk friends.

We were all drunk, so we're like, yep, true.

They feel like a little off.

I don't know. Ben Max.
Okay. Max is grabbing my loosies.
Where's memes?

I don't know what's off.

Something's off with Max and memes today.

Yeah.

They feel like a little off.

Are they at each other's throats?

I don't know what's going on.

They're just a little off.

Maybe it's because their boss is massively hungover and not really bossing. Shit rolls downhill.

They did great work yesterday.

No, I supervised the hell out of them.

You did kill them.

Nothing.

We'll get to that with Firefell negative negative negative uh okay so pft you have first

pick yep mount rushmore of hobbies that become a person's personality one one crossfit oh

crossfit uh it consumes your life you have to start recruiting other people to go to crossfit

Thank you. person's personality one one crossfit oh crossfit uh it consumes your life you have to start recruiting other people to go to crossfit you put stickers all over your cars stickers on your laptops crossfit okay all right as a crossfitter what as a crossfitter i i was once a crossfitter i was able to stay out of the it becomes my personality, but there are definitely a group of people who do CrossFit and they only become friends with other CrossFitters and they talk about doing CrossFit.
It's kind of faded. The peak was probably about, what, maybe 10 years ago? There's a lot of gyms that are CrossFit adjacent now that open up.
Yeah. But the CrossFitteritter i'm talking about is yeah no that uses all the lingo the one that they they speak in crossfit language yeah and they they ask each other constantly how'd you do on the workout of the day and then they end up getting uh massively massively injured yeah crossfit and then they become a former crossfitter and they try to rehab so they can get back into crossfit and they get injured again they vacation cross like oh there's a competition in san diego let's go do some crossfit you remember when they tried to put the crossfit games on tv they might still be on tv yeah yeah and then they're like yeah this is the sport of the future people watch you know the original crossfitter was jesus yeah um i had that on my list it wasn't my one one though i have a very clear one one i that was that was my one.
It wasn't my 1-1, though. I have a very clear 1-1.
That was my 1-1. Okay.
Obviously. My 1-1, or I guess 1-2, Swifties.
Fuck. Had that on my list.
I mean, they're the number one. Yeah.
Right now, they're the number one. That is their hobby that becomes their entire personality.
Swifties, if you see a Swiftie online, that's all they want to talk about is Swifties. And they talk about, you know, Travis and all that stuff.
That was, yeah, that was going to be my pick. I thought it was going to slip.
Yeah. That's a good pick.
Swifties. I was thinking about it late last night, and I was like, I was going through the ones that will probably get picked.

I was like, Swifties are just, they're all over. They have an entire world that they've constructed.

Yeah.

It's almost like a cinematic universe around Taylor Swift.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was my one and two also.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Tough.

Okay.

Hank, with the sunglasses on.

I think I might have just made a last minute switch.

I don't know if this is smart, but I'm going to go with it. New parents.
Okay. Oh, yeah.
New parents for sure. Like mommy bloggers.
They have a kid, and then their entire feed is just, you know, everything about the kid. Is that a hobby? But is having a child a hobby? Is that a hobby? I'll take it.
But is it a hobby it a hobby yeah okay something you do for i don't i guess i mean i think the the making of the child is something you do for fun yeah no it would be it would be be a significant other have counted as well like that's all that's that's i think that's a different category being like a wife guy Yeah But no that's okay

A wife enthusiast

Yeah

It's a hobby

Okay

Loving your children

Is a hobby

And it's

It's so hilarious

It's so funny how you like

Your entire life becomes around

You know raising your kid

But post that's a different thing

Than like

Your whole personality online becomes

Yeah new parent

Yeah

Yeah

Are you looking at me right now? No Hey take the sunglasses off i can't tell what you're looking at are you looking at me i just haven't had some there are a sect of awls who hate that i give like one anecdote a week about my kids there's also a lot of people who like it because they're no but like you're you're i'm i'm talking more about your like people's social channels yeah yeah it's like that is not you, but it is a lot of people. Yeah.
No, you get, yeah, it becomes, kids become a lot of everything that happens in your life. That's a fact.
I just didn't know if you were looking at me. I wasn't.
Has it become my whole personality? No. Okay.
Just leave the sunglasses off, Hank. It's disrespectful.
I've had some bad I've there are some of these that are hurtful to personalities uh go ahead uh sports gambling yep that was the one that was that one you could accuse me of yep but I've been doing that for a very long time but it's it's become more I actually had it my on my list. It's not sports gambling.

I had parlay guy.

Yeah.

Because it's the, oh, I have seven more legs in my parlay.

Jerry.

Yeah.

And it's also the thing, if you don't know a couple guys out,

it's like, you got anything today?

Yep.

That's a good pick.

I had it, and it hurts me because I know that I'm guilty of that for sure yes also being a Swifty yep next one I'm gonna go car guys our guys yeah okay that's a good one that's a good one 50 wishes I will never know enough about cars to make it my entire personality yeah it's kind of cool to be like No, I respect it. You know what? A lot of these is their personality.
And a lot of these, it's not necessarily disrespect to put them on this list because guess what? As you get older, your hobbies do become a big part of your personality. Yeah.
You just don't, this is a list though of people who like, it becomes their entire personality. All of these things can be part of your personality and it'd be normal.
But if it just is the only thing you talk about become that person you're a swifty you're a crossfitter like that's if people think of that as number one that's where you get into you know issues so dealing with a lot of car guys recently i it's made me realize how little i actually know about cars because the first thing that they ask me is like okay so what's your level of automotive experience i tell them them nothing. And then they say, okay, well, take this part and then do this.
I'm like, I don't know what either of those two parts. So I have to make them dumb it down to like three levels of magnitude.
I was like, are you talking about the black thing that makes noise? Yes. Okay.
That thing. Okay.
There are two of those. Which one of those is that that you're talking about? Yes.
Yes. we got some hot picks hank i'll take it before someone else does golf oh good pick i didn't even have it on there you know anybody like that i had it fun i had it yeah no i had it on it there too i had it i was debating between car and golf but yeah i mean it's tough you know usually they're not even that good we're just baring our souls right it's it's all they talk it's i knew this is gonna happen yeah yeah i mean it is i don't care that it's i don't think it's from my whole personality but it is oh it has it's become a large 100 it consumes my brain i enjoy golf it's a hobby that i like to play i enjoy you know gambling and golfing and having fun with my friends yeah but yeah it's definitely on that category yeah okay you were wearing a shirt that was made out of golf balls yesterday yeah shot a row back it's a sick shirt it is it is a sick shirt uh okay uh i'll go with another new age one um crypto people yeah crypto people it's when you see nft bitcoin that's literally all they want to talk about being poor, big cat.
They just want to tell you about every crypto that's ever been created. And you're like, do you live in the real world still? Or are you just crypto? Are you telling yourself for not being at bank zero? I do not have banks.
I do have a little Bitcoin. I don't know how to get it.
But yeah, crypto has become a big time personality trait. Yeah, your eyes are definitely not illuminated right now.
Yeah. I'm going to go my second pick.
I actually had this first round talent weed. Just being a weed guy, just big time stoner.
I think we all know some real pothead friends that that becomes everything they talk about. Was it like that more back in the day? Yeah, I don't think that's people.
think people, it's more casual now. Yeah, because it's so everywhere and it's legalized that I don't think it's become as much...
It's not as cool to be... Or it's like before when it was illegal and more frowned upon.
Then you had to kind of stay in your ground and be like, I'm a weed guy. I don't care what the rules are.
Now it's like everyone just kind of accepts that people casually smoke it might also be because we're a little bit older but i'm sure that once people start getting into we like at a young age there's still that sweet spot of being like 15 to 27 where that is your entire life is just thinking about weed bringing over different types of we'd be like hey man smell this weed yep smells like weed no but you don't understand it's got it's got crystals on it uh all right for my next one i'm gonna go with uh supporting a political party yeah politics across the board that just becomes all that you think about and it consumes every moment of your being and it's all you talk about you don't want to be friends with anybody that has different political opinions from you uh you kind of put half the united states into a box of people that you either think is a pedophile or someone that's not to be trusted around actually yeah both pedophiles no matter what party you're on you're like they're pedophiles so um yeah politics number three okay well i something similar. I don't know if it could count, but I had just Trump good or bad.
That's kind of the same thing. All right.
All right. Because that is like the people who are obsessed with Trump good.
But those are political. Yeah, yeah.
But there's also, it goes even further. More non-political people join the Trump good.
But but it's deeper with the just like they don't even think political parties anymore. They literally just think what is Donald Trump doing and then decide their life on that.
All right. I'll go with who Disney adults.

They're the weirdest people in the world. Now, do they only become, like, activated when they're in Disney World? I don't know, but if you've met a Disney adult, it usually is a sign.
There's a lot of people out there that get married at Disney World, get proposed at Disney World. Yeah.
They dress up as Disney characters. And I actually think in like all this whole entire list, some of these people, their hobbies become their personality traits just because they throw themselves into it.
I think Disney adults, their hobby becomes their personality traits because the rest of the world no longer accepts them. So they find each other.
Yeah, they have to find each other. And that's what they become.
Yeah. There yeah there is a phenomenon though of people that you think are just normal everyday dudes and girls that walk around walk amongst us able to blend in but the second they set foot inside the disney theme park they just change yeah their entire body their mood changes yeah they just want to stay there for the rest of their lives max you had that you had that on your that on your list? I didn't, but you're doing a very good...
I'm just not confident in my list right now. Okay.
All right. Get the confidence up.
You got two picks coming up. You got two big picks coming up.
There's a lot of... There's a lot of...
I have, I think, great picks that are going to be left on the cutting room floor. Yeah, same.
I think I'm going to shift, which I did round one, which probably not have been smart but just sports fandom yeah that's a good one the people that you know and we deal with them all the time especially me where like there's people who make you know the Patriots or their Celtics their entire personality and then if you don't know every player on the roster and don't watch every single game right you're a casual and it's like that's all they want to talk about and if you talk shit about one of their teams on the show the people that have made that team their personality will come at you and be like how dare you yeah talk shit about this team like you don't know what you're talking about right agreed okay um my next one is runners marathon runners yeah i had it i had one. Great one.
The guy with the stickers on the back of their car? And just also any... Screenshots of maps.
Even people who start training for a marathon, they just tell you that they're training for a marathon nonstop. Yeah, they spend all their free time on message boards looking up other marathoners and trying to prove that they cheated.
Yeah. The last one is...
I'm struggling to word it. I like the cars that have the 0.0 sticker on the back that's that always plays yeah get it um the last one i will do i get like fashion like people are super into fashion i don't know i'm i don't feel not selling me on it matt you could have sold me with more than an example what an example of this I'm talking more of the fashion influencers on TikTok they do the outfit of the day I was going between that or sneaker heads but fashion I thought was maybe more of like whatever fuck it I lost this Mount Rushmore it's fine Jesus Christ sometimes you just don't feel like you had a good rush more.

I think you got complacent after your last one.

You got a big win.

No, I just.

Look at that chick was huge.

My mind was going elsewhere.

You should as well with horny guys.

Yeah.

What?

Horny guys.

Yeah.

Look at that chick.

Fashionista, I guess is the right word.

You're making it worse.

So bad.

Whatever.

Fashion.

Fashion guys. It doesn't have to be guys fashion girls yeah just fashion yes that is that is like a hobby i mean but that's like having a kid you have a personality like having that be a hobby that becomes your personality trait so your personality traits you just dress just dress really well? No, but it's like going to, like, spending your Saturday waiting in line for, like, the new, like, separate drop to happen.
Okay. Having a kid's not a hobby.
What is it? It's, wow. How is that a hobby? I think it's pretty much the building blocks of life on Earth.
Yeah. A hobby.
It's definitely not a hobby. But, like, what would it qualify under uh just living just life yeah it's just it's literally if you don't have kids there is no more life it's literally life a hobby is considered to be a regular activity is done for enjoyment typically during one's leisure time i think philip rivers qualifies as a hobby at this point he's bored You want to have another one? Having the kid is the...
It's an activity. Yeah.
Okay. I'm going to go with this one.
I mean, this is similar to my third pick. Basically, all my friends have split in between golf and fishing.
Oh, fishing. People that are super into fishing, that's all they talk about, all they do.
wake up 4 a.m i had that on my list look how big this fish is okay and then you take your picture for all social media profiles literally my friend group is split between and it's like we'd like joke about it because it's like half my friends are obsessed with fishing and they don't give a fuck about golf and other half love to play golf, don't care about fishing. I think, yeah, because you don't have time to do the other.
Right. Yeah.
Okay. My last pick.
I'm actually surprised it left. I thought it would go before fashion, but it didn't.
IPA guy slash brewing his own beer. Yeah, beer guy.
Beer guy who's just snobby about all his beer, and he's going to brew his own beer, and he's, you haven't tried this? Come on, man. Don't try to give that guy a Coors Light.
It's okay. It's okay.
You can just drink the beer. We don't have to talk about the beer.
Just drink the beer. The cans and everything.
I mean, there are some cool cans out there. I'll give them that.
Yeah. Waiting in line for breweries.
Yeah. Like when breweries do drops and camping out.
Yeah. Yeah.
You go to a big festival and you're not even allowed to spend money on them. So you've got to go to a table and buy like raffle tickets.
Right. And then you give the people with the beers the raffle tickets.
And then if you go over to their house, they're like, you got to try my beer. I don't have to.
Brooklyn was right. Big time.
Big time big time yeah that was everywhere yeah you go to a bar and you're just like can i get a coors light and they're like no we don't have that we have every other type of beer micro brew it used to be a big attraction too when you're moving to a new town it's like yeah there's a lot of micro breweries yeah now that's every city now every city has them facts and i like beer i do too and i like all kinds of beer yeah but i would never i've never like gone and gone to breweries and remembered no the beer that you liked anyway it's like even if i found a beer i liked i'm like all right moving on yeah okay last pick okay my last pick hobby that turns into a personality vegan being a vegan yeah because it doesn't just become your it has to rub off and it it becomes other people's personalities too yes they have to adopt it around you yes or else you're not there and they got to tell you about it because every time you go out or anything yeah well i'm a vegan well yeah aaron was a rare vegan slash atheist combo yeah never been done before yeah great party guy no he's no longer a vegan he saw the light and if you are a vegan by choice that's fine uh but just know you'll probably live longer than us yeah definitely you'll i won't eat the bugs one day you'll try to eat the you try to get us to eat the bugs i won't eat the bug those aren't vegans though the bugs aren't vegan true true vegan adjacent all right what do we miss i did have dog dad or mom on yep because that's a big one when it's like oh i got a dog and like do you want me to switch mine with that no uh dog dad or mom especially i i gotta say listen i have a dog i love dogs uh when the when a when a person wishes themselves happy mother's or father's day on when you have just a dog that's the that's the craziest thing i've ever fucking seen in my life what about what that's a fucking actually no i know i take that back they get fur babies the yeah fur babies the thing was actually our guy, Tony PNDC. He had a post saying what Father's Day means to me as a person who would- An aspiring father.
Aspiring father. I like that, claiming it beforehand.
That one was a little too much. I do love when dog people say, like, raising a dog, I know what it's like to be a father.
I know what it's like to be a mother because, you know, raising a dog is its own challenge. I just love how much that irritates real parents.
So that's funny. No, that's a funny thing.
That's a funny thing. We did that to Pete.
Yeah. I did that to you for a while, too.
Well, but you actually don't. I still don't think you understand what kids are because you put it under hobby.
No. When Pete does it, it's a joke.
You're doing it, and you don't actually. No, I used to do it to you as a joke.
It didn't get you very mad, but... But no, but again, I don't think you're joking because you put down being a parent as a hobby.
So I said it right before. I switched it at the last second.
I was going to just do significant other. Like when a guy gets a new girlfriend or a girl gets a new boyfriend and they just start posting about them 24-7.
That's also not a hobby. It's not a hobby, yeah.
It kind which is not always how is that a hot that's like it is funny though as a small glimpse into the mind of hank uh who has like no worries or cares to think like the most important thing that you'll ever do on this planet has totally become your entire personality isn't that weird no all right so yeah that was So, yeah, that was a bad pick. Whatever.
No, I think it's significant. It plays others more.
That's more hobby-ish. Memes just rattled off a bunch of good ones right after my last pick back here.
Oh, no. Hank, now what I think would play is people that have kids that think that they're the first people to ever have kids.
Correct. And so I was actually in Fantasy Football League like 10 years ago with multiple people who independently changed their fantasy team name to so-and-so's dad.
Yeah, that's true. And that's kind of weird.
Yeah, no, there's definitely... I know what you're saying.
They just become like everything is just the kids and they don't have a life outside of the kids. And same with Significant Other.
Yeah But yeah, I guess I probably lost it with that. I had conspiracy theories.
Yeah, that's actually a really... Because then once you go over the deep end, you can't come back.
The iceberg, baby. It fucks you down.
And just your job. Your job, yep.
Is that a hobby? That explains a lot for Hank. Yeah, it's a hobby for Hank.
Now everything's making sense. Yeah, I get it now, Hank.
Everything's making sense. I had a swinger on there.
Yeah. That's a hobby.
Sex guy becomes your whole life. What about a grilling meats guy? Yeah.
Guy. If you have like, if you get that, if you get the big green egg, but you also have a flat top and you also have charcoal and you also have the wood chip and you're like, hey, what are you doing this weekend? i'm i'm slow cooking a brisket for 48 hours yeah i'm gonna spend 16 hours sitting in the room right next to my patio yeah yeah okay yeah no i had i i had i the hobbies kind of passed me but we never know how it's gonna look on the on the graph i had guy like like sobriety it's a hobby yeah but like that becomes people's yeah no Yeah, no, that was...
I might have... Sobriety's not a hobby.
I know, I know. You spend all your time going to meetings.
I mean, you're still going to beat me in this. But like self-help or meditation? I would say...
Yoga. Like some minor mental illness becomes someone's hobby.
Like minor. I'm not saying like actual.
has to tell you like well i have ocd but they don't actually have ocd being an empath yeah and they're like oh i have ocd it's like no you actually don't because it's not you you can like you know they'll just self-diagnosed mental illness becomes someone's hobby we missed allergies We missed a big one. Yeah, allergies good one yeah great one uh missed a big one collecting trading cards yeah being a card slash collectible guy autograph guy yeah that's yeah it falls into the same like yeah yeah if you quit your job and start a brand new company better all around yeah collectibles and loving collectibles you call it clit yeah call it clit that's that's a major red flag yeah what were memes ones that he rattled off memes get on the mic yeah i said video games yes good one um what else i say what about just memes memes is a good one oh i think actually there is the and this is all of us in a little bit, but it is also our job, but the two online guy where it's like the way they speak and the way they converse is just really deep online things that people wouldn't know.
You can tell that they're in some weird message boards. Right.
Trevor Bauer, kind of like that in person. Yeah, yeah.
He is the internet. You can't speak to us like a regular human being like memes memes also said Barso listeners no that's what memes said I mean I got a job doing it yeah that's true you are that what else memes you had another one that was two Max said you rattled off a bunch of really great could I have said gym like going to the gym after CrossFit or no yeah I.
I think that also plays. Yeah, like steroids guys.
Because there's a different gym person than the CrossFit person. Yeah, yoga definitely qualifies in that.
Yeah. Doing...
Like, Rosillo's not a CrossFit guy, but he's definitely a gym guy. Yeah.
Like, what are the other new ones? Pilates, that's not really that new, but Pilates can become your life. Aloe.
Yeah, Aloe. Yeah.
They would never let us in there. I think we could go for like a day.
But they would be like, they would sound alarm being like, Ugo Day. It's the exact opposite of Planet Fitness.
Yeah, they'd be like, we're doing a Make-A-Wish. We're going to let a few Ugo podcasters in.
Everyone, please, if you feel uncomfortable in the workplace today, you can work from home. We're going to have the uggos stop by.
Hobbies that become your entire personality. Losing championships in sports could be one.
What about just- Also, winning championships in sports could be another one. Yep.
Becoming a fan of a band. Yeah, bands.
Yeah. That will happen.
But Swifties. Swifties.
Yeah. But yes.
But right, there's other like Zach Bryan, Grateful Dead. Yeah, for sure.
If it becomes your whole existence. Yeah, absolutely.
I had skateboarding. Skateboarding.
Yeah, that's true. I should have said that over fashion.
That was the two I was going between. I should have said that.
Cooking, different than grilling, but cooking is definitely on there cooking and and also uh becoming a foodie yeah foodie it's like i'm i'm different from a lot of people i enjoy food yes foodie oh you haven't tried that restaurant foodies i really i really like food foodie's a great one i'm pissed about this i'm yeah that's a big miss you had. Max.
You had Fashionista, though. That was good.
You fucked up, Max. Fashionista.
What about just, like, dancing? Okay. No.
Go on. No, like TikTok.
Like, with the TikTok nowadays, like, people dance, and that becomes their entire personality. I feel like TikTok could be an answer, too.
Yeah. Yeah.
Star Wars. Star Wars is good.
Harry Potter. I thought Star Wars after you said Disney, but I thought it was too close.
Yeah. It is a little adjacent.
Yeah. What about he also said podcasting, but he's too scared to say it.
I don't. Yeah, that could be.
Ain't no hobby. Yeah.
It's not a hobby for us. For us.
What about knowing quotes from The Office? Yeah. Brandon Walker does that.
Quoting The Office. Yeah.
That could go across the board for just comedy movies. Yeah.
If you're really into saying quotes from them, a lot of times people will think, oh, you're funny. Yeah.
Oh, no. It's just you know when to put those quotes in.
Yep. That's a really good one.
What else? Anything else? I mean, this is a good topic. Mm-hmm.
And again, we probably, there's a bunch on there that I'm going to be like, oh, hand up. Would you say that? Like the gym.
So Taylor Swift. Hand up.
I do that too much. Liking Taylor Swift is a good pick.
Would you also consider not liking Taylor Swift to be a hobby that turns into your personality? I think that's a little more rare. Yeah.
I don't know. I don't know many.
I think there's people who don't like Taylor Swift, but I don't think they make it their entire personality. Yeah.
Don't you think? That's a little harder to do because then you just don't like anything. Making a hobby your personality has to be liking more than not liking.
Just being a hater in general could be your whole personality. That's true.
Being a negative person. Hating things.
Yeah. Yeah.
Being the negative guy. Okay.
We that's a good good mount rush for a voice of reason what something could say voice of reason for about you about the negative guy the hypothetical negative guy oh you're we were we weren't talking about you there we're talking Here was I. Yeah.
I'm just devil's advocate for that hypothetical person.

Right.

Just being negative on every turn.

I'm not.

Just being a realist.

See, right now you're being negative.

You're disagreeing with me.

Agreed.

I said that you're the most negative guy we've got,

and you just said I'm not.

You didn't say that.

Okay, well, you're the most negative guy we've got.

Agree to disagree. See, he's being negative right now everyone's entitled to their opinions yeah i hate these cliches yeah i'm trying not to be negative being disingenuous i disagree to agree uh okay let's get to some awesome interviews that we have we have jimmy tetro and his writing partner christian pierce that we taped before beer before beer Olympics and then we have the best of Kentucky sports radio we hosted we do it every year we host for an entire day this one was probably our best one yet we got some great callers we have an interview with Rick Pitino we have an interview with Jack Golke so if you missed us on radio we have the best of that it's all brought to by our friends at NASCAR.

The guys who created the very funny Real Bros of Simi Valley, which now is a movie. Yes, sir.
It is a movie. July 4th? July 5th.
July 5th. Close.
On Roku. But you might be able to watch it July 4th.
If you happen to log on early, on the 4th, you might be able to see it. This summer is Oppenheimer? Yeah.
That's what they're saying. Right.
I'm so excited for this movie. Real Bros, if you haven't watched it, it is...
Can we watch all of it in one place? Actually, it was my first question. Fuck, we actually meant to show you the trailer when we came in.
Okay. I don't know.
Should we still show them? Oh, we could show you the trailer. Like, you'd have too much time.
It's only two minutes long. Are we in it? The trailer.
Because you said we were going to get a cameo, and I can't remember if we filmed it. Oh, that was the day the Wi-Fi was down.
We meant to add you on. It would be great if you just put a clip of us in it.
I sent you that fax. Yeah.
I don't know if you got the fax. Did you guys get that? Yeah.
I did. On that fax, I think you said, like, we can just use a clip from this interview at the very end of the movie.

Right.

It did say that.

End it.

So congratulations on making a movie

and having us in your movie.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Congrats on being here.

Yeah.

Congrats.

Yeah.

IMDb going up.

Yeah.

Thank you guys.

The film needed it.

I don't know what we would have done without you guys.

Yeah.

You know what we should do at the end of this interview?

You guys both should be like,

yeah, and that's our idea for a movie.

And then we put it at the end of the movie.

Wow.

Thank you. I don't know what we would have done without you guys.
You know what we should do at the end of this interview? You guys both should be like, yeah, and that's our idea for a movie. And then we put it at the end of the movie.
Wow. Right? It's like our dream sequence.
Oh, shit. I like that.
It's warping everything. Trying to get nominated for an award out here.
That's what we're thinking. Yeah.
And then we're like, nah, it'll never work. You guys go, fuck no.
You guys go, absolutely not. And then that's the end.
So I'm pumped for this this is gonna be awesome because it's so funny so first of all can we watch real bros in one place because you guys have hit the bit we talked about this last time yes we were trying to go to every single platform it was wrote is this the first time on roku yes the first time on fuck yes so we're hitting the bingo card yeah so we So we're checking as many platforms as possible. But right now, the whole show is on YouTube.
Fuck yes. Okay.
So that's something I was pretty pumped about. Yeah.
We got negotiated with the movies. We got all the episodes back.
So they're now all on YouTube. Perfect.
So everyone catch up before you watch the movie. I guess the other thing that's so great about this show and now now a movie and i'm wondering what you guys christian i'll ask you this like is it weird having a show that uh it's been difficult at times to watch because it's been on different platforms we'll just say that but i would say it's one of the most viral gift shows out there that i think there's a whole group of people that don't even maybe know what show they're giffing but the gifts are so fucking funny yeah that like there's there's an untapped audience and if they if we can connect their brains and be like no that's actually real bros and they have a movie out it's like you you have to watch it because they're using the gifts constantly yeah it's especially with like tiktok coming up like 2020 to like now there was a moment where we weren't really using tiktok that much but we saw the real bros memeification right really going wild on there and it surpassed like the views on tiktok had surpassed the views anywhere else we're like what the fuck we're not even on here do people even notice account with 140 000 subscribers followers yeah pumping out real bros how do we make money off of it yeah no there's like there's like a whole underground scene of tiktok accounts that they do with podcasts too well they'll just take clips from podcasts and be like hey check out this clip and then they're getting all the money from which i i always look at as being a good thing overall because they're promoting like when i see an old part of my take clip surface on there i'm like well they're just doing like a free advertisement for part of my take so yeah but at the same time it can i can see why people that like put time and creative energy into like writing a show might be like hey kind of fucked up that you're just putting my shit out there i think if it's if it's not taking up space that you're already trying to fill like we didn't have a presence on tiktok at the time that it took took off on TikTok.
If we had accounts that we were putting time and money into and those accounts still exist, I'd be fucking pissed. I'm like, what the fuck? You're taking it away from us.
Because we didn't, I was like, I think ultimately it's going to come back to us full circle once we find a way to reclaim the audience. It was like someone was just doing it for us kind of because we didn't have the TikTok.
But I used to get really upset about that. Like when people would steal clips.
You're like Lars Ulrich. Because I was you're like this is piracy we need laws out here in the wild west of digital media yeah this is bullshit because there was this video that we posted um that was supposed to air on like a show for the first time and someone recorded it on the show before i could even upload it to youtube and posted it on youtube like a recording of a screen on TV.

Oh, like old school. And it got like 15 million views on Facebook.

And I hadn't even posted it yet.

Yeah.

I was like, this is fucked.

And it was that video of the little kid running for a touchdown.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

You know, grant-to-wish kids touchdown.

Yes.

And then he's running, and then a guy comes out of nowhere

and smashes him.

And they probably acted like it was a real clip. Yeah.
Well, everyone thought it, that was what was funny about that one. Everyone thought that one was real.
Yeah. What's his name? Oh, man, Michael Irving, I think.
He tweeted one time, like, this is so fucked up. I was like, dude, that's the best price you could ask for.
I would imagine Xander Shoffley winning the PGA Championship was huge for you guys. It's big for Xanders.
Xander's is the summer of Xander's. I saw on the clip of you asking him if he had seen Real Bros of City Valley.
He was like, no, but sometimes people yell Xander. That's kind of cool.
That's pretty good. On the show, is Xander's name Xander or is it Alexander? Xander.
Yeah. Yeah, I think Xander on the birth certificate.
Okay, yeah. But we have decided that Hawk's middle name is Tua.
Oh, I like that. Nice.
Good sell, man. It's been Tua this whole time.
Yeah. Hawk Tua X Sanders.
That's crazy you guys were in front of that. How old is Hawk? So Hawk is...
Well, I think this is... What day is this coming out? This is coming out on Friday.
This Friday? This Friday. I feel like we can say.
We can say he's older. He's older.
Hawk is older than me. Yeah, nice.
Hawk is He might be. For people who don't know.
Yeah. Jimmy's character has a son and they've aged him so rapidly.
He was a baby and then all of a sudden he was like nine and now he's older than you. Yeah.
Now he's twice the age of his parents. Yeah.
He's in his fifties. Maybe older.
And yeah, because I remember I think i told you last time i was on here you're like how old is hawk gonna be i'm like he definitely needs to be older than xander right so yeah at the beginning in the middle of the movie he's he's uh definitely like in his 50s 60s and then and then just keep watching just keep watching what was that like for the old guy that's playing your son? Oh, man. Well, the guy that's playing his son, and this one is actually a legend.
So it was pretty nice. Wow.
Yeah, we can't say too much, but the name Hawk is a pretty big giveaway. So you guys got Kevin Spacey? Yeah.
That's right, dude. Holy shit.
That's right. I just think he needs a chance.
Well, not redemption, you know. Imagine if that was his comeback.
What did he really do? Have you guys had him as his comeback? Oh, my God. He called me, actually.
And it was like, Jim, it was like one of those weird, creepy videos. Yeah.
And he was in front of his fireplace, and he was like, let me play Hawk. He was doing the House of Cards accent.
Yeah, the Underwood.. I can do this, yeah.
Remember when he did that Christmas video where he was like Frank Underwood? And we're like, why is Frank Underwood lecturing us on Christmas? He's like, you need people like me. That didn't get enough attention for how weird it was.
I think we all tried to look away. Let's pretend this didn't happen.
And then he did one in Italy one year where he was on a bench or something. I didn't get that one.
He was like, Kevin Spacey checking in. Yeah.
I'm still on the run. I'm still fucking weird.
Yeah. So what if I'm a pedophile? Y'all need people like me.
So it's funny because you've actually worked with Kevin Spacey since you were 12, 13 years old. And you were his protege, right? Yeah.
Yeah, that was really cool. Really circle there i quit i pretty much credit i credit him with a lot yeah um not career-wise just like how i am yeah just as a man general how you carry yourself how i operate in the world so it is tony hawk playing playing your son that's cool yeah yeah i'm not going to say any names but the name hawk is you know it's definitely uh it's involved in the name of the man yeah i forget where i read this it was maybe six eight months ago but i read that you used to make skateboarding videos when you were a kid yeah like a real young kid right yeah that was that your first like foray into online videos absolutely yeah not online because it wasn't online yet but it was a like little i was like the videographer of my little skate group in Venice.
And I was the guy with the video camera. But, you know, there was no editing.
So it was just like I'd have a boom box. Start, stop.
And I would go, you know, hit play and then hit stop and just try to keep it. So there would be a soundtrack that kind of went through.
It was like, you know, Linkin Park A live soundtrack. And sometimes, like, if someone missed, I'd rewind both and try to...
So it was like, the soundtrack was just like, you know. That's awesome.
Wait, so you guys were in a frat together in Arizona. That's how you first met? Yeah.
And Christian, are you a Die Hard Clippers fan too? No. Oh.
No, no, no. So just Jimmy.
Just Jimmy. You can wander over this Lakers hate today.
Oh, yeah, but I also hate the Lakers. Oh, okay, good.
Yeah, I'm a Bulls fan. What do you think about JJ? Honestly, I think it's probably a good move for him, for the organization.
Yeah? Yeah. He seems – Yeah, he kind of turned his back on podcasting.
It's kind of a shitty move. He said he's going to stop doing podcasts on his coach.
Podcasting is not a stepping stone job. No.
like he used us i feel like and we had a moment where like he's that type dude he said in representation matters we're like jj reddick went from podcasting to nba coach so could we but then he just turns his back on the family i don't know yeah what are you guys gonna do about that i don't know we we always say we always say like podcasting it's the brotherhood yeah and for a guy like that to turn his back on the brotherhood, it just hurts a lot more than anything. I guess next time I won't be so nice to former players that then become podcasters because they've been burned.
Yeah, NBA coaching is like gladiator rules, too. If you do fight him and you do beat him, you're the new Lakers head coach.
Yeah, that's true. That's a good point.
If you want that life. I never thought about how this was affecting the podcasting community.
It's a major issue. We're not narcissists, but that's exactly what it is.
It's a story about podcasting. You'll actually love this.
We did to promote season three. We went on the news, the daily news, and this guy showed up in a Clippers uniform.
I texted him the night before. I texted him the night before.
I'm like, what are you wearing tomorrow? And he's like, I think I'm wearing my Lakers jersey. I'm like, all right, cool.
Pull up in a Clippers jersey. clippers jersey went out got a clippers jersey pull up in a clippers jersey although this is some serious hater stuff right now i love that yeah it's gonna la news you gotta show out yeah i like i like that that it's a clippers town exactly right right yes everyone knows that you know that though you're always saying that yeah they got the new uh stadium balmer it's a clippers town paul George, basically there for life.
Yeah. Kawhi.
You're set up. You see the name of the Clippers show? The billboards? They say, The Other LA Team.
I'm like, you guys have a show, and it says The Other LA Team. Yeah, that's sad.
That's very sad. Wait, so you guys met in your fraternity at Arizona.
When did you start doing creative things together? I would imagine there was just some just hanging out and being frat bro we started second half of freshman year but we took it seriously sophomore year when we started black blackmailing yes yeah that's how we got our rise yeah yeah it was like I was like you either you're involved or I'm fucking telling them I like, I don't have a choice.

Fuck.

That should come out.

That's actually a part of my take story.

Big Cat made me do cocaine.

That actually is true.

You guys were joking.

This is true.

I stuffed cocaine up his nose.

It was also the worst blackmail ever because I really wanted to do the cocaine.

I was psyched that my new friend was offering me cocaine.

He was like, if you don't do this podcast, I'm telling you.

I was like, I don't give a shit.

Yeah, let's do the podcast. Good idea.
I shoved it up his nose and I turned to Hank and I was like we got him wait so that's awesome because what year was this what was 2010 so this is early like internet too yeah not early earlier in but early enough early internet the hate of Funny or Die. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's early internet and the fact that like today, everyone in college has a TikTok and is trying to be a content creator. You guys were doing it before it became something that like everyone is doing.
Yeah, back when people would say, what do you mean you're dropping out of school to be a YouTuber? Yeah. That doesn't exist.
Wait, did you drop out of school too? I didn't. I finished.
Okay. You kind of always have that over him.
Right. I bring it up all the time.
Yeah. I love that.
You should get paid more. Right.
Yeah, I do. Yeah.
He carries his diploma everywhere. He starts acting up, I just roll it out.
So when you guys started. It's so annoying.
Communications from Arizona? Yeah. No different than Harvard? When you're doing shit for YouTube at that time, are you using phones to record things or are you using a camera? It started on a flip cam.
Yeah, I had a little flip cam that was like, at the time, it was like, for how small this is, this is great quality. Yeah.
And that was what we, that was the first few videos were on that um then we got a camera but you know what's funny about the flip cam i always think about this you know how apple bought flip cam did they i didn't know what flip cam and did nothing and just ended it that's crazy they're like we don't want any competition so they bought the company and then just ended the company i kind of love that such a cool way to Crazy baller move. Yeah, just buy your competition.
Just end them. Some guy spends his entire life perfecting this design for a great product, and he's so proud of it.
And then finally, like, a big payday comes along. He sells it.
He's like, okay, your product's dead now. Yeah.
That's business, baby. But, I mean, look at me.
That's good shit. What could they have done to Apple? Nothing, anyway.
Nothing. It was just kind of annoying.
They were a little competitor nipping off the heels. So heels so all right so you guys have been writing together then for almost 15 years that's pretty cool yeah so how is it like evolved uh your writing styles and just working together because it's it's like working together for 15 years that's that's kind of rare like that's not there are not a lot of writing partners that can do something like that for that long

and kind of stay on the same wavelength.

You've seen it a million times where guys will do something that's a hit

and then kind of splinter off and do their own thing.

Yeah.

But you guys are still doing it.

That's awesome.

Yeah.

It's pretty cool.

Like has it evolved?

Do you guys feel like you've ever had a moment where you're like, oh, we're maybe not on the same wavelength? Or has it been kind of seamless that you've always been a perfect writing partner? No, we've definitely had our ups and downs. Yeah.
But I think, like, working through the, you know, the ups and downs would eventually, like, makes it, like, a, I don't know, more secure, stable situation. Right.
To like, you know, we've had our moments where we were not on the same page about things and took some talking out. But I feel like that's just naturally going to happen with any long-term partnership.
Right. And either like you kind of split and go your separate ways or you just kind of keep working through it constantly.
Well, I imagine writing partners is that's a very vulnerable thing to do because you're you're basically saying like my ideas i hope this person thinks it's funny and like back and forth and you have to throw out ideas and they're not all gonna work yeah i don't think we've ever really gotten too like hurt about shooting each other's ideas down we don't like them which is kind of cool yeah people get like super personally like affected like i think there's something better that might be it they might fuck up their day we're just like okay next idea yeah yeah are there moments where like one of the two of you is way more passionate about a certain project or a certain element that you're working on than the other and then like how does that work out do you just have to say well i'm going to trust them if they're more passionate let's go along or is it like okay you take the lead do whatever you want to do on this since you care about it more yeah i mean i try to if if he's fired up about an idea and i just like don't see it i just trust that i'm just like not seeing it right now i'm like he is so fired up about this like i'm gonna just trust him and let go along with this because it's not a good idea we will realize it along the way there's no point in me like really hitting the brakes on this right you know i mean how was writing the movie how was was there you guys it's obviously been something that you guys have been working on for a very long time and it's again so so funny but like actually having to put it together a story that might might be the finale i don't know if you guys have another whatever it's a little bit different i would assume writing a movie than a tv show because you have to kind of tie it all together right yeah it's a lot less time too i think it's like with the season three we had like 220 minutes total something like that yeah like 250 or yeah i think it might be like 270 minutes total in the season with the movie you have half of that less than half right yeah so it's you have to condense a lot of storylines you got to kill a lot of your babies you got to just really nice abortion just huge about that we had to drop that it's like uh like a lot of uh you know the little random moments in the show you know where you just like spend a minute and a half on something that's like completely pointless to the the final story you don't you can't really do that with a movie yeah right but because that is a lot of the show it's like you want to preserve some of those moments so there's a lot more editing in the writing process and like condensing um i feel like that would be the worst part for me yeah stuff that you've worked so hard on that that you thought was so funny and a lot of times it probably is very funny material and then having to just cut it for the sake of brevity and losing out on all that effort that you put into it, that must be tough that was definitely the hardest thing about the movie, just because it was less time and it did start as a show so it was a lot of like how do we make this a movie that was like that was that was definitely the hardest thing about making the movie yeah because we shot it in 10 days 10 days yeah it was a hustle like on day one were you organized ready to go or or yeah i feel like most times when you plan out all this stuff perfectly you sit down you spend the first like four hours hours bullshitting anyways. They're like, oh shit, that's four hours out of our ten days that we have budget gone.
No, there was no bullshitting when we were shooting. No, there's no time for bullshitting.
You show up, you have a schedule. It's like, we need to shoot this, this, this, this, and this today.
We have this. We have to be done by this time.
Okay, so it's good that you didn't have a schedule. There's a whole regimented schedule, but then you show up and they're like, oh, it's raining on Thursday.
So that got fucked. Yeah.
And that actor's schedule was only lined up for Thursday. So now we need to figure out when they're available.
And then it ended up... The schedule...
We ended up shooting four days one week, one day another week, and then three twos. You have to map everything around the budget and how much time you have and how much money you have.
And then also like even though we were dialed the fuck in on day one we still had like actors we needed to cast we had roles we had to keep moving we couldn't stop my number jimmy you said what oh but we said you got the facts yeah you didn't have anybody could have been there like we were desperate for two actors yeah we needed a short guy and a big guy yeah we need to find anyone podcasting is the future so we gotta figure out two podcasts the problem was I wasn't gonna ask you guys to fly across the country to say what would have been literally a line perfect we could have nailed that you know you guys are busy guys we would never travel anywhere to burn a day just like hanging out and drinking beer with a fellow do you guys have any enemies because we tried but up top they were like no we can't we can't yeah we do actually have a lot of enemies okay big hollywood maybe yes yeah hollywood is not um they don't really understand us or like us we went dave and i went and pitched hollywood the barstool rundown in 2014 and we went into like probably about 10 different rooms like comedy central hbo showtime walked out of every single meeting like we fucking crushed that not even a single call back damn yeah so then we realized that's probably not our cup of tea yeah we tried but the studio was like not those two yeah that Yeah, that makes sense. I'm not hot enough to sexually harass,

so they see me and they're like, I have no use for this guy.

That happens a lot, man.

I mean, I'm so pumped for this movie, though.

How long did it take you guys to write it?

It takes longer to write it than it did to shoot it.

Well, I hope so.

Yeah.

He shot it in 10 days.

We shot it.

We wrote it in a day and a half.

Yeah, we wrote it in a day and a half yeah we wrote it in a day and a half we did the the uh tyler perry business model um no we we uh we wrote it over the course of like five months but it was like on and off like halfway through and i like went to atlanta we were doing it over zoom i think if we were sitting down every single day together for like eight hours i think we could have done it oh in under half that time for sure two months for sure but also if you didn't move out right because you moved out he moved out right you moved out didn't you guys live together for a long time oh we did that was a while ago yeah but then he moved out right right right yeah right so he shouldn't have done up old wounds for me. I wasn't ready for this, yeah.
Wait, did you live together when the bees attacked you? No, that was two houses later. Okay, two houses later.
Those bees were gnarly. I think we've asked you about the bees every episode that you've been on.
Like, how are the bees doing? You're like, I haven't seen those bees in years. Stop talking about the bees.
I haven't thought about the bees in a minute, actually. You're a huge bee guy.
I'm a big bee guy.

I was actually, I saw, you know that movie, The Beekeeper with Jason Statham?

Yeah.

I haven't seen it yet, but I saw the billboard and I was like.

That's me.

Called my agent.

I was like, what the fuck?

I don't ask for a lot.

Yeah.

But you're telling me they did The Beekeeper and I didn't even audition?

Yeah.

I mean, are you interested in doing like action roles where you just kick everyone's ass?

I would love to do that. Yeah.
That seems like it'd be a very, very fun genre movie to film. So Marvel drops the B-Man.
Oh. You want it to be you? The B-Man? If it wouldn't, if it wasn't, I'd be hurt.
Yeah. Yeah.
Christian, you're getting an insight into our interview style and how stupid we are that we're like, hey, Jimmy, how about those Bs? is a serious question. That reminds me, speaking of big Hollywood business meetings, what's going on with Boner

Dogs?

I mean, yeah, so we're working on it.

It's in pre-production.

Boner Dogs?

Yeah, we have a movie.

You actually, we'd love to have you as a writer.

Okay.

Yeah.

I'm attached.

Can I have the pitch?

Loosely attached.

Loosely attached.

Do you want to hear the pitch?

Yeah, can I hear it?

Okay, so it's like Hansel and Gretel combined with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It's a cartoon.
And one of the dogs has a boner the whole time. Oh, shit.
And that's pretty much... It's in pre-production.
A red rocket. They get lost in the Arctic, and they're like, how are we ever going to find our way back? And this guy's like, dude, my boner's been dragging this whole time.
So his nose isn't red, it's just his dick. No, it's his dick.
The dick dick is red and then all the other dogs make fun of him because they don't have boners right and they're like oh what's that gross lipstick thing right right and then he has it's like is he insecure about it yes he is at first but then it becomes a tool for power at the end wow he realizes oh i'm not so weird after all i can use my differences to own your flaws make a difference yeah that's the kind of message i feel like kids today Right. I think it would resonate with.
Stay hard kids. Right.
Yeah, there you go. Exactly.
Just tuck them up into your waistband. Oh yeah, that's the boner dog.
Isn't he cute? Oh wow. Yeah, there it is.
That's our pitch. We just bring PFT's laptop and we're like, see? Yeah, yeah.
I've been attached I think for what, six years now? Are you playing the dog? No. No.
I've already promised. Who do you guys got attached? I think he's the voice of the boner.
I thought Adam Sandler was the voice of the boner. No, I thought Will Ferrell was the voice of the boner.
Yeah, Will Ferrell was the voice of the boner. But obviously, they told me this pitch in 2018, and I said, this is a home run I'm in.
Actually, I think I started off as loosely attached, but then I saw the names that you guys had involved and I was like this is going to be a huge project we pitched probably 12 different comedians when they come on the show like David Spade a bunch of people that would sit down with us would be like okay here's a pitch for Boner Dogs and then finally we interviewed Adam Sandler and it was him and Kevin Garnett at the same time and so everyone was expecting us to pitch Adam Sandler because we've been talking about this Adam Sandler movie with boner dogs for years so instead we just pitched kevin garnett that's fine and then adam kept trying to jump in and be like not right now and then he's like i'm in adam sandler told us he was in a little behind the scenes we apparently had like an actual deal in the works with happy madison yeah to make this into a series on netflix and then all of a sudden i just stopped hearing about updates well not all of a sudden we interviewed rob schneider it didn't go well that might have had something to do with it well i thought it went well i thought it was part of his recent tear so we uh it was like right at the beginning of it he's gone out there we interviewed him and like he didn't laugh at one part of the interview. It wasn't even like a big problem with the interview.
It was like right at the beginning of it. He's gone on a carry.
Yeah, he's out there. We interviewed him and he didn't laugh at one part of the interview.
It wasn't even a big problem with the interview. It was just a minor thing that didn't get that great reaction.
It was a stupid joke. One of our guys wrote a blog that is clearly tongue-in-cheek that was like every time Rob Schneider releases a big movie, an oil spill happens.
But if you look at it, if you actually want to look at it, there's an oil spill all the time yeah you connect the dots yeah right so that was the joke and yeah if he didn't laugh that means he's hiding something yeah that actually does happen he's like how'd they find out they know fuckers yeah they know about the oil if you're taking flack it means you're over to the right targets so he he didn't react to it at all uh and then afterwards this is crazy it's a real story like maybe maybe four people online maybe four it could be less than that uh responded to the tweet that we put out promoting the episode and they said like rob schneider sucks maybe four people said that then we heard behind the scenes through rpr people that he wants us to delete the entire interview and take it down and act like it never happened yeah and then we're like well no we're not going to do that like some people like the interview it wasn't bad we never we didn't walk away from the interview being like this guy hates us yeah we never even thought it was yeah we did we doing it we didn't think that anything was wrong and so he he like threatened litigation and eventually we were just like we're not going to take it down we'll delete that one tweet if there's people responding to it that are making you angry. So here's what I'm thinking.
So then Boner Dogs died. I know I'm not writing on this film yet, but if I was, here's my pitch.
We make the new antagonist, the villain, a big oil tycoon. Oh, yes.
I like that. Schneider Robson.
Yeah. Yes.
He's a mean guy. And listen, let's defend Rob Schneider for a second.
There's a chance he doesn't. He like he like i don't think he killed the movie but there's a chance he could have killed the movie because he cares about the environment and he didn't want another oil spill yeah that's a fair point he was like i can't keep doing this right especially with this dog being in the arctic right yeah ice melting and all that right yeah so one of the ideas that we had was to have it be like an olympics event where each team is made up of like the irish wolfhounds or a bunch of irish drunks and then little tiny dicks yeah a little tiny dicks everyone's got tiny but then you could have like these you could just do stereotypes of people from those countries as all the competitors yeah and then the mutts that's the boner team that's the team with the boner dog the mutts ends up saving the day even though they're not allowed to compete in this big race right and they have to call him that's the boner team.
That's the team with the boner dog. The mutts ends up saving the day

even though they're not allowed to compete in this big race.

And they have to call him out at the last second

because they're like, we need somebody with a boner to help

and none of us have them.

Shit, that's deep.

People love stereotypes.

They do, yeah.

What's your favorite stereotype?

Oh man, I got a bunch.

I got a bunch, I'm going to tell you.

I can't even think about it.

Mine's Iowa, rush more stereos. I can't even think about it.
Mine's Iowa. Maybe Casio.
I'm trying to think of other electronics companies that make stereos. And this joke isn't going well.
No, it's going. Keep going.
No, that's it. I'm out.
JBL guy. JBL.
Sonos. I was thinking maybe Sonos.
Beats. Actually, Sonos.
I got a fucking bone to pick with Sonos. Oh, yeah, yeah, go off.
I agree with you. You guys have Sonos? Speak on it.
No, but we always do this with our guests. They're like, hey, do you want to say anything about Sonos? I got something to say about Sonos.
Okay, great. Drop that shit.
Figure it out, guys. What's up with this app? Why do I need the app to play the music? I agree.
I agree. And if you're going to require me to have the app to play music, at least make the app good.

Yes.

You know?

I'd be able to go on my Spotify and just click a speaker.

Yep.

You can do it with everything else.

Go off.

If you're going to require me to have an app, make the app good.

Yes.

Just hire somebody on Fiverr.

It's not that hard to fix the app.

Yeah.

Also.

The app is the problem.

The interface is internal. It's open the app.
Yeah. And then you have to open your Spotify.
Yeah. And it makes no sense.
The connection is not seamless between those two. Yeah.
I just don't play music in my house. It's.
And then recently. It's whole spirit.
Yeah, it's just killed. It's killed it all.
Damn. My kids have never heard a song.
I haven't listened to a song in two years. Yeah.
Jeez, I can tell. My kids don't even know what music is.
Damn. Fuck.
They play me something. There's just too many apps in general, and Sonos is a perfect example.
They had an app that kind of worked, and you got used to it. You got used to their fucked up app, and then they have to update it and change it because they want to make it look like the next generation of apps or whatever.
Now it's fucked up, and no one can use it. You think big Sonos is low-key trying to make people hate music? Yeah.
I think they're anti-podcast. Damn.
I think that's why they're doing it. It all comes back to us.
It's not Narcissus. Again.
I would imagine J.J. Reddick had something to do with this.
Probably, yes. Son of a bitch.
Dude, you think it's going to work? We like J.J. J.J.
is actually a friend of ours. I think I'm optimistic.
I think there's a chance. What do you think about lebron saying that he didn't have anything to do with the process even though he did a four-month interview on a podcast with him funny okay yeah raises some questions for sure that's one way to say it uh maybe some collusion there but you're you've always been a lebron over kobe guy yep you're big big on that he's big on that he'll die on that you know what i mean this is tough the slander is tough i uh look i was happy to get him i just don't want to be the team that drafts brawny just for the novelty of yeah it's happening yeah yeah i know but you know and it's it'll be cool for like a game and then it's like well fuck did we just ruin our future just to have brawny yeah what do you think it's gonna be a real life.
it's happening, yeah. Yeah, I know, but it'll be cool for a game, and then it's like, well, fuck it, we just

ruin our future just to have Bronny.

Yeah.

It's going to be a real life Xander and Hawk, where they draft Bronny Jr., and he gets in,

and he's way worse than his dad.

Yeah.

He looks older.

He's somehow older.

Yeah, he looks older and older.

His body's breaking down on him.

What do you think, what is Bronny going to say on the court?

Is he going to be like, screen left dad?

Yeah, like, is he going to say dad?

Yeah, like, is he going to say dad?

I didn't know. And how do you talk shit back to people? If someone says something about him being his son, and he's like, no, I'm not.
Yeah. Yeah.
No, you are, man. Fuck.
Damn. You have to eat those.
That's going to happen a lot. Yeah.
But I was just about that yeah like in like what does LeBron do like the passive aggressive you know how he always whenever a teammate fucks up and he like yells at them does he do that to his son for sure you have to you gotta give it to everybody does he spank him he might ground him right there misses a three get over here he's to do it again. We see Bronny missed a shot.
Jimmy, real quick, I want to glaze for a second. Poor kid.
When we first had you on in 2018, we've talked about this before, but Hank was a big fan. We didn't know who you were.
That's a bad job by us. But we're like, yeah, let's do it.
And then it became a real a real friendship and you've been on a bunch of times and it's pretty damn awesome to see like your career take off uh how much money do you think you owe us i don't even want to get into that because

it's it's a lot yeah you know like we have certain guys that we feel like they're it's a different

connection because it's like we liked them before maybe they're – you were already big, but, like, the next – like, Josh Allen is up there for us because we were on Josh Allen before he even got drafted. Who else? Brooks kind of won a bunch after.
I think he had one major. I like this conversation because it's like Jimmy was already massively successful.
Correct. Because we discovered him to ourselves we touched him then we're like now we own you because we just found out about it yeah you could we're kind of the podcast illuminati not narcissists come on yeah yeah i mean yeah there's i i mean since i've been on it just there's the in the industry plant allegations yeah it.
They've just been going around. Yeah.
Industry plant. I'm like, I just, you know, I just like going on part of my take.
Yeah. Christian, you're about to feel this.
You're going to be the next Bobby Althoff. This is where it happens? Yeah.
That's what I'm trying to be. Bobby Althoff's on my visual board.
This is my year. This is it.
But yeah, it has been awesome. I mean, guys like watching uh this become a movie it's it's fucking awesome because we like this is the comedy i actually there's a real question like do you guys think that comedy movies are gonna make a little bit of a comeback because we have had a lull like it has whether it be with shane and what he's doing like it does feel like we're finally getting back to a point where we can start making like truly funny comedy movies because we had that run in the early 2000s you know wedding crashers and and anchorman and like all that stuff that was like truly hilarious movies and there's been it's almost been almost been a void of it.
Yeah. I will say like, there's a gazillion things I love about the movie we just made, but like every month that goes by ever since like, you know, we've been deep in the editing process and I see the lack of comedies coming out or I see the movies coming out that are kind of comedies and I watch them.
I feel like they're mid and lacking in comedy. I get so fucking excited for ours to come out.
Right. I'm like,

fuck yeah,

the world needs this.

It's kind of good for you in that way.

I mean,

I was not even thinking about like how good it is for us,

just like people.

I mean,

I want people to like laugh at some shit that is just for laughs.

And it does feel like the pendulum is swinging back to that where it's like,

hey,

we can start making,

you know,

shows and movies that are just,

hey,

they're funny and they don't have to be deep in any way.

Super high stakes, dark. Right.
Yeah. It's like all the comedies for a while have gotten like just so serious right where you're like is this really a comedy just because like there's a couple moments where i laugh yeah like just because i laughed like doesn't mean it's a comedy like i laughed sopranos the whole time yeah i think sopranos might be a comedy that might be a comedy it had a laugh track on, it'd be the funniest show on TV.
Sopranos is hilarious, actually. Yeah.
But yeah, I'm also, it's gonna be nice to just have like a just for laughs type of movie out there. And I do think that the industry is starting to finally go, oh yeah, maybe we can make some low stakes.
Right. Just solid straight through comedies that aren't you know trying to unpack serious issues right yeah that's that's really what it is it's it's like can we just make a comedy that just lives as hey this was really fun to watch yeah that's okay to do yeah yeah i feel like we've lost it a little bit yeah when you put a comedy on you drop your guard right yeah when you put on like Hangover or some shit, you're like, oh, your guard just goes away.
I'm ready to just immerse in this and laugh. It's ready to laugh.
And you feel better after it's over, too. You just get all the laughs out, and it elevates your mood.
So yeah, The Hangover, I think, is probably the last massively successful comedy, right? Yeah. Have you watched The Hangover recently? I did literally on Sunday.
It's one of the best movies of all time. Beat for beat, it's so good.
It's like a perfect comedy and it also looks incredible. It's Todd Phillips, the guy who made Joker.
You know, it's like the shots, The Hangover is beautifully shot and also just watching it and you're like, man, if TikTok was out when this movie came up, all of these moments were... Yes.
I'm like, oh, I knew this whole wolf pack speech. Yep.
The whole song he sings to the tiger. Yep.
There's so many iconic moments from that movie. Yeah.
Yeah, no, it's true. So this is going to be massive.
You guys are going to have a big hit on your hands, and then you're going to be A-listers. And then at that point, are you going to do the thing where you become like serious movie stars at that point are you going to turn your backs on comedy are you always in comedy i'm not going to drop out of the boner dog project okay good good i'm not one of those here's here's another way to put it christian when do you think jimmy's going to change his phone number and not tell anyone he just got back from japan and i think he's about to do it yeah i don't know what i'm waiting for the day where i text him and it just goes green yeah i think he's about to be there yeah like that's the last i'll talk to jimmy how many how many part of my takes have you done it's like probably five i think there's like six or seven i think that's about the time you switch your number up yeah this is probably it i actually have been insistent on not changing my number my number got leaked when we were in college by someone in el paso they put me in a group chat with like 90 people and said everyone say hi to jimmy tatero and then for like months i would just get blown up and this was before it was easy to block people on iphones so i had to like call verizon every time and be like hey i have this number i need to block and and at one point i was like hey can i block el paso texas and they're like you can't block a city dude but i was i was set on not changing my number yeah so i kept that same number and now you get those spam calls you just go boom boom block yeah have you gotten the calls where you pick up and it's somebody else that's in your phone book and then they're acting like you called them too? No, but I saw that.
That's happened to me like six times in the past year. You pick up and you think it's a call from somebody that you know.
And then you're like, hello. And they're like, hello.
I'm like, you called me. And they're like, no, you didn't.
You called me. Who is it? It's just like they, they, there's like a software system before when we've been sitting in the room together.
Here it goes right now where it will be like are you calling me right now it's like no are you calling me and we're just sitting across from each other really yeah and why do people do that uh for fun yeah it's actually a great joke well there was that whole tiktok trend that went around that was like uh call someone and then you're like hey i actually gotta go right now yeah and they're like what no you called me and you're like sorry i can't talk right now yeah and they're like huh yeah that's kind of what they're doing but just they don't get to really into it they don't listen to it so it's really just like i'm inconveniencing somebody this is funny right which is really the core of comedy you guys know that yeah that's the frontline martyrs of comics right there that's like when you would call when you made your your voicemail hello yeah that's a good bit too hold on one second i still get got i'm kidding i get so pissed you feel like such you feel you feel like a dog like getting faked out by a tennis ball yeah yeah you're just like god damn it why did i chase that ball it's not there damn it who are your guys like first like comedy uh what were your first comedy experiences that you got into as kids like were you too young for the jerky boys and like the prank calls i remember the jerky boys the jerky boys they were big prank calls they would just record prank phone calls and then they became super famous i was a big uh like you're talking about internet people yeah just like whoever you're like when you're a kid do you remember seeing a comedian being like this is awesome i want to do that oh yeah for sure chapelle was that for me chapelle show i was like this is brilliant like as a kid I mean, this is awesome. I want to do that.
Oh, yeah, for sure. Chappelle was that for me.
Chappelle's show, I was like, this is brilliant. As a kid, I used to record episodes on blank VHS and watch them over and over again.
Yeah. Chappelle's show, SNL.
Yeah. I liked SNL.
I liked the digital shorts. When Andy Samberg started doing digital shorts, I was like, ooh, I like this.
Yeah. Whatever this is, I like this.
Yeah. Those were good.
were good. I liked Mad TV a lot.
Yeah, Mad TV was great. Will Sasso.
Oh, all that. All that was huge.
Yeah. Anything that was just funny for the sake of being funny and silly and goofy, I was about it.
Yeah. Yeah.
Mad TV, there was that stretch where Mad TV felt like, it was like you almost were doing something wrong because it was, you know, SNL was the established thing and Mad TV would, would take more risks. You're like, yeah, they'd be a little edgier.
Badass mad TV fan. Yeah.
Yeah. That felt good.
Um, all right. This has been awesome.

That's true. That's kind of A.
That's pretty A. You're like going on vacation with Sean White.

Yeah, and we just, the three of us just sit at home and be like, yeah, we used to know that guy. Right, right.
But they did crop him out of all the photos, which was weird. That's true.
Yeah. That one hurt.
That one hurt. Just being in the photos, but not tagged, you know? Right, yeah.
Wait, what the you know right yeah we couldn't find you yeah what the hell were you doing in japan so i just got back last night yeah um this is gonna sound like a lie but my brother is on the team usa deaf volleyball team okay go long wait death. Wait, deaf or deaf? Deaf.

Deaf.

Yeah, so... Is your brother deaf?

He's like 50%.

Sounds like he's cheating.

No, so there's a...

What?

There's a threshold.

Hold on a second.

You have to submit a hearing test

in order to be qualified as deaf enough.

I'm pretty deaf too, actually,

but I didn't qualify. Wait, a hearing test, could you just be like, what? You can't fake it.
My mom's an audiologist. I had this argument with her like two days ago about being able to fake a hearing test.
She said, you can't do it. I said, I could do it.
She said, yeah, you could. You literally just have to say what? Well, no, because there's two types of hearing tests.
Okay. So like, if they don't match up perfectly, they know you're lying.
Got it. And it's hard to fake it.
Got it. But your brother forgot a way to fake it.
Yeah. So, but yeah, he's like 50% deaf.
You have to take your hearing aids out. But it was the world championships of deaf volleyball in Okinawa.
Wow. So I was out there supporting John nice team captain and did they win for team usa well he was a team captain he's the team captain was that because he can hear the most right that's a real question right no he was he's he's not i think he's not he there's people who can hear more than him okay okay how Okay.
How'd we do? We did all right. Oh, no.
We definitely are qualifying for the Olympics in Tokyo. This is when people say like the end of the empire of US, like when we lose death volleyball.
I don't know. No, I mean, Eastern Europe, they have volleyball in lockdown.
Also, if you think... We played Turkey.
We played Italy. You can tell those teams have been playing together for a long time.
Our deaf volleyball program is newer here. We haven't really made an effort.
Firestock now. Until recently.
Okay. We will be, I think, in the next few years.
Now that Johnny is the team captain. You know what we need to do when you say this is a golden generation.
I will say Johnny Tatro, A-lister. A-lister.
That's a great name. Johnny Tatro.
That is a great name. USA men's team captain.
Yeah. Actually, we had a beach volleyball duo team for a while called Team Jimmy Jones.
Oh. And I got Jimmy Jones merch for us, and we competed in a beach volleyball tournament.
Nice. How did I do? We got second place, actually.
i got a question so wait your brother's 50 deaf you said you're kind of deaf i'm like not 50 but i've i've worn hearing aids since i was four okay and your mom's an audiologist and my sister's an audiologist how did that is that like how did that work out yeah is that a is that a chicken and egg when did she an audiologist? She became an audiologist before we had hearing losses, but her parents, her dad had a hearing loss, and I think that influenced her. That's interesting.
And then her two kids have hearing losses. Got it.
It's genetic. I just have to imagine that the rushes of the world and the teams that are already cheating at the real Olympics, if they're doping doping their people up they're definitely cheating at the for sure 100 i'm like i'm out there it's funny too because like they they blow the whistle yeah and they're just like holding the ball yeah because like a whistle that's like none of these guys out there can hear high-pitched sounds right i can barely hear a whistle and uh they all have their hearing aids out so like when they're like the play is dead it's like they just kind of keep going no one stops him let him just go no one's stopping him you gotta like give him a little a little wave that's a very cool move though to go all the way to japan to support your brother yeah because that's i'm proud of him you know yeah that's a long flight it was a long flight that's a.
You guys ready for it? Yeah, we're going to release this on Friday so people will know how much of a debacle beer games. Oh, yeah.
You guys competing? Yeah, we're going to compete. Oh, fuck yeah.
We actually got kicked out. I saw the statement.
Yeah, I was saying. What happened? We got kicked out because we threatened to quit.
We kept on saying it'd be a real shame if it got canceled. Yeah.
And then we just shit on it so much that they're like, we don't want you. And then we talked to Will and Taylor, and we're back in.
It's been a long – this has been a tough games to pull off. I don't know if you guys understand what they're going to do.
Tumultuous. Yeah, I've seen some of the headlines.
Yes. Actually, that probably – if someone claims you're an A-lister, you could just be like, well i complete competed in the beer games yeah i think this was any progress i had made right it's we're going back a little just cancels out the vacation no the height of the beer games was uh travis kelsey and jason kelsey were going to compete and will legitimately thought there was a 30 chance taylor swift was going to show up to the four of us competing.
So that's where we've gone. I can imagine Taylor just watching us drink beer and clapping her hands and being like, yeah, that was so fast.
Good job. Even our producers are competing.
Max is competing. Okay.
Hank is competing. So we're just grabbing everyone off the street.
Did you guys compete last year? We did not compete last year. Are you guys nervous about the events and how it's going to shake out? Yes.
Yeah, I mean, we're going up against... This is my wake-up alarm, by the way.
This isn't like a get-off-of-the-show alarm, just so you know. We're going up against a bunch of offensive linemen.
We heard. That's what worries me.
Yeah. That's what worries me.
But you know what? We'll be the vibes crew. Because I've seen Taylor chug a beer.
Yeah. That was actually the first time i met him was at the the machine that's how he greets people he's like hey i'm taylor luon what aren't you impressed by this yeah we cheers and he was like you guys want to chug these and i was like i just got here to this premiere but nice to meet you let's chug and i like i was still tilting up when his dropped yeah yeah and then so that's what's that's in my head's a chance, there's a very good chance that we're all getting invited to Taylor's house just so he can beat us in beer games.
I get that. Which I respect that.
Like if I were him, I would do the same thing where I'd be like, let me just invite a bunch of people I know I can beat and just boost my ego for a day. If you do that, though, I'm not coming to your birthday party then.
Yeah. This is your birthday party.
Yeah, this is his birthday party party that's a fact but yeah bakhtiari's in the games and and i think that guy can definitely he can yeah you know i've seen him chuck he's there's a good chance he tries to fight me because i'm gonna get drunk and start talking shit about yeah that's a good possibility i just realized that um yeah but yeah competing against offensive linemen and beer drinking competitions does not feel like a winning recipe for men of our stature. No.
Right. I'd say, you know, guys like us in this size category.
You're 5'10"? 5'10". Yeah, me too.
Same. This actually is probably the biggest sporting event.
So how do we moneyball this? For Arizona. What's our, yeah.
The Arizona, like this, you guys are never going to go back to a Final Four. So this is the...
Wow. Oh think so okay no probably not oh wow damn all right i went to wisconsin so we stopped oh fuck off yeah i don't hate many schools i hate wisconsin we had this debate yeah because of kaminsky right yeah both his back-to-back years yeah yeah you guys had really you had really – you had better teams.
You had teams that – let's just say you had teams that if you were picking teams, you would have picked a lot of Arizona players before Wisconsin players. Yep.
Right. We still have – I mean, Aaron Gordon still going strong.
Yeah. True.
Yeah. That's awesome.
Basically, yeah. Yeah.
And he's not the guy that I thought was going to be – I thought it was going to be – Aiden yeah DeAndre Aiden no and before that like I thought Nick Johnson was gonna like oh yeah he didn't do shit you're not a scout that's okay it was weird dude my gauge was all off on that one pretty weird alright well thank you boys for coming on it's been awesome Christian great to meet you yeah you've been a fan from afar and uh we're pumped for this movie it's gonna be everyone go watch it watch it and then watch it again and then leave it on leave your house if you're going away for july 4th put it on repeat yep just have a go i'd say watch the entire series before you watch the movie we figure also everyone july 5th you're gonna be laying around correct you're not gonna want to do anything yeah you go on roku you put on the real bros movie yes yeah perfect yes uh all right well thanks guys thanks for having thanks for having me thank you jimmy tatro and christian pierce were brought to you by part of my cheesesteak we just added a new limited time item to the menu this week the The Buffalo Tender Sub has crispy chicken tenders tossed with buffalo sauce, topped with ranch and pickles on a toasted hoagie roll.

Don't miss the show everyone will be talking about

on Sunday nights.

Season two of House of the Dragon

is now streaming on Max.

And now here's Kentucky Sports Radio.

Kentucky Sports Radio.

Pardon my take, takeover.

We have a big guest coming up in a minute. If you missed the start of the show, we want everyone to just remind us that we are ball knowers if you call in because we were the first to put Coach Cal in the hot seat and then everything that we said was going to happen turned out to be correct.
Exactly right. Nostradamus.
If you had listened to us seven years ago, you would be much happier right now. You'd be in a better place.
Right. Better place.
So we do know ball. Yes.
Shannon, has he called back in? Do you want to try to call him? Oh, maybe Shannon's talking to him. You might be talking to him.
That sounds good. I feel like that's good.
Okay, here we go. All right, so for the first time ever in Kentucky sports radio history, we want to welcome on a friend of ours who's been on part of my take.
He's a legend in the state of Kentucky. He's a horse racing aficionado.
It is St. John's head basketball coach, Rick Pitino.
Coach, are you there? I am. Good to be with you guys.
It's great to hear from you. We're very excited to have you on.
So we've hosted this show eight years in a row whenever Matt is on vacation, and we were the first to say that Cal was on the hot seat eight years ago. So today has been a victory lap for us, and we thought there's no better guy to have on to pump up Big Blue Nation, your relationship with Mark Pope, than Coach Rick Pitino.
So let's start there. I have some St.
John's questions as well. But what are we getting out of Mark Pope as a basketball coach? Well, obviously I'm extremely biased because he was my captain of the national championship team and was a great captain a tireless worker um and i absolutely love him uh and what he did for our program but that being said when i was not working i traveled out to see him coach a small school division one school grand valley or something something like that and i was blown away for how good a teacher he was.
And then I watched every game I could at BYU and loved their offense. It was great ball movement, great player movement.
And I just think Mark does a fabulous job at communicating with his players. He has a great way about it.
And he has a quality that very few of us have. He has incredible humility.
And for somebody who, at a very young age, just as a tireless work and is accomplishing things, he's always maintained the same humility that he had back when he was a player. And Mark would, you know, obviously guys like Antoine and those guys, all guys from inner cities and my language wasn't the greatest either.
But every day with Mark, if he made a mistake, he would say, Frick and constantly Frick, Frick, Frick. And finally, after a week of this, I said, Mark, I can tell you whatever God that you pray to, he knows what you mean.

So why don't you just say it or drop it?

It's just words.

It doesn't matter if it's an R or if it's a U.

I think the message is getting across.

Coach, when they hired Mark Pope, you were saying that, you know what, it might be time for Rick Pitino to cut a check to Kentucky's NIL program. Is that something that you're actually considering doing? Well, I actually cut a check to the football program because I'm a casual friend of Mark and Eddie Grand, and I cut a check to the football program.
But I would definitely cut a check if Mark needs me for anything, no matter what, except for my firstborn, Michael, he can have it. Yeah, just the firstborn, though.
I absolutely love Mark and would do anything for his program. I always called University of Kentucky Camelot for me.
I never had a bad year, never had a bad day. They treated me like a king.
They treated me with great respect. So I only had, obviously, I didn't get treated great when I was at Louisville, but sitting back on it and examining it today, I totally understand why.
So I am very, very fond of the University of Kentucky, rooting for football. I sent the baseball coach a text wishing him good luck.
I'm very bullish on Mark and the football program and hope they do great. I love it.
I think the thing that Kentucky basketball fans should be excited about, and maybe you can speak to this more, is Kentucky basketball in the last few years. Now, obviously Cal had success at the beginning of his run, in the last few years, it feels like the actual coaching X's and O's maybe wasn't there all the time.
Mark Pope, if you watched him at BYU, the guy knows how to coach basketball. And maybe you could speak to this specifically, but being able to coach guys and put them in the best sets, to be able to draw up winning plays at the end of games.
I feel like Mark Pope is the perfect guy for that.

He is.

Look, Mark Pope, he tried to become a doctor, and it wasn't his niche.

Mark Pope was a Rhodes Scholar candidate,

and he's just an extremely bright person.

And combining his credentials about being bright,

he's an excellent teacher of basketball.

He also has, you know, he was also a terrific basketball player that got the maximum of his abilities because he gave it all every single day. A great leader.
He showed great leaders. Everybody in the team just thought he was the best guy in the team in terms of never said a negative word about a teammate, never said a negative word about coaching staff loyal to the point uh that that you couldn't quite believe it and he and his and his wife and children are the same way just wonderful wonderful people and you know look hal did a terrific job but what happens with a lot of coaches i mean there are exceptions to the rule i think bill self and i think mike sheshevsky you know you run out of familiarity breeds contempt you they're a long time you get a little stale you need another journey and um so everybody this is this is now mark pope's time yeah and uh cal cal cal was great for the university of kentucky he brought them a lot of success and uh we wish him certainly well at arkansas and then now it's time to move on and have a whole different brand yeah yep you said it uh coach do you have any message for the Kentucky fans that are listening right now I don't know if you've had an opportunity to address them over the last few years here but um that we've got a lot of them listening right now that that care about you that care about the program look I love the the the kentucky fans to me are very very special uh they were and treated me my family with great reverence i got nothing but great things to say about the kentucky fan i i totally get it today why um they were bitter at me at going to the university of louisville i was going back because the reason i was going back is I loved Kentucky so much from my UK days and wanted to relive that love of the sport.
But right now they have a fabulous program with all sports. And I think that's going to be a special, special time for Mark Pope and the University of Kentucky Wildcats because I think he's –, I think the fans are going to fall in love with Mark because the thing about him, the Pope Pope didn't matter.
The name on the back never mattered to Mark. He could care less about individual glory, could care less about it.
If anybody mentioned that he played a great game, it's always about team. It's always about Kentucky and to Jeff Shepherds and and Ron Merces and Mashburns and all those guys that I coach, it was always about Kentucky, Pelfrey, Bell House, Pharma, all about them.
And I used to always kid those guys in the locker room. They always give – every time they put the jersey on, Pelfrey would tear up.
And I'd say, something wrong with you, John? You're not feeling well? He said, no, every time I put that uniform

on, I just can't believe I'm

putting it on. I said, well, get over it,

John. We got a big game, man.

That's great.

Yeah. Playing for the

name in the front of the jersey is important,

especially in today's college basketball.

Speaking of that, you have

practiced in about 20 minutes.

How is your team looking this year?

It looks like you guys added some really

talented players. You were right on the

Thank you. So speaking of that, you have practiced in about 20 minutes.
How is your team looking this year? Because it looks like you guys added some really talented players. You were right on the cusp last year.
It was your first year. How do you feel like this team is going to shape and be put together when you guys start playing ball in November? Well, we're much bigger.
We're 7'1", 7'6", 6' 6'9". Our backcourt, I never thought I'd coach another guard as fast as Peyton Siva, but I have a young man from Utah, Davion Smith, who is faster, if not faster, than Peyton Siva.
I have Qadari Richmond from Seton Hall, who's a first-team All-Big East basketball player. I have Simeon Wilshire, who's a sophomore now, who's also a terrific guard.
So the backcourt is really strong. The wings are very strong.
And the centers, although they don't have great experience, are very big, big and talented and athletic. So I'm really bullish on this basketball team.
We were supposed to play Kentucky but couldn't work it out. And I'm hoping that we can come to Lexington next year for our 30th reunion and Kentucky can come back to Madison Square Garden the following year.

I like that, yeah.

Home and home.

Kentucky, quit ducking Patino.

I love it.

You step up to the plate.

Give the people what they want.

Coach, are we planning on wearing more suits this year?

That's very important for us.

I wore all suits the whole season just about with the exception of a whiteout where I wore a white jacket and jeans. Outside of that, I wore suits the whole year.
I like that. It doesn't feel right when you look on the sidelines and you see Coach Patino wearing a polo shirt.
We want to see the suits every game, Coach. I'm definitely going to be in them.
And you know what? I believe in it. It's something I've done all my life so why not continue why change there's certain things you have to change you have to change the way you coach players today the way you run your offenses defenses treat them and off the court as well but certain things should not change and that's one of those yeah coach in these spring and summer practices what are you looking for this early on as you're putting a team together? What are you keen on in practice that's telling you, okay, we could have a good team this year? You know, I made a mistake last year.
I did not have my team ready early in the year because I was just focused on player development, working on their skill development, and I didn't work on a lot of team things defensively. And we were not ready early.
we were ready late. And it probably stopped us because the NCAA no longer cared about the last 10 games of the season.
They were treating the first 10 equal to the last 10. So now I understand that.
I don't think the net means a whole lot. I think it's really quad one wins, quad two wins, making sure you don't lose like we did to Michigan, a quad three.
We never expected Michigan to be a quad three game, but it was. So I'm going to have the team more ready defensively going into September.
I love it. Coach, I have one last question.
I missed you. I saw you were at Saratoga for the Belmont Stakes.
I was there as well. Yep.
How did you do? I hope you did better than me. I lost about $20,000 that weekend.
Not great. Not great.
I was, I thought I had figured it out. I did the one thing you can't do on a horse racing weekend is win the second race of the first day because then you think you got it figured out and then I don't think I won a race for like 15 races in a row.
But how did you do, and what do you got? Do you have some horses coming up? I do. I'm racing tomorrow.
I have a horse called Agalos de Great, who's the name of my agent in Greece. And Agalos de Great is running at Aqueduct, getting ready.
It's a prep race coming off a long vacation to get ready for a big stake at Finger Lakes. I believe I was two for 22 and getting destroyed.
And I went back and tried to renegotiate my contract with St. John's.
But I did get out on the last race when I was leaving. And if you could win the last race, you could cut your losses in half.
Yeah. Was it the last last race or the second? I won the second-to-last race on Saturday that was like a 14-to-1 shot, and I was like, oh, man, maybe I did figure this out.
Yeah, this was a long – yeah, I think it was the same loss. Yeah, it was on the turf.
He came out of nowhere. Yes, it was.
Yes, it was. That's right.
Yeah. When you have a bad weekend at the tracks, you need to just turn to our good friend Mike Rapoli and be like, come on, let's go.
I told my wife, I'm never going to the track again. And she said, I've heard that now 1,100 times.
Yeah, right, right. I'm retiring from horse racing for the rest of the week.
That's what I do. And then for the weekend so you said agalos the great he's racing at aqueduct tomorrow what race is he in because i'm gonna i might sprinkle a few nickels on him you know i don't know i think it's the fifth race uh i'm actually traveling to tampa for unfortunately for a funeral and i won't see it but i know it's i think it's the fifth race my other other friend, Chris Mara, who owns – his family owns the Giants.

He has a horse in the race, and we're betting dinner to see which horse finishes out of who.

I like that. I like that.

High stakes. Coach, I'm actually – I'm taking a trip to Greece next week,

and I was hoping that you could maybe teach me something to say, a good phrase to say,

or any tips about –

When are you going to be – when will you be there? I'm going to be there Saturday through, I believe, Saturday, full week. I'm going July the 6th to see them try and qualify for the Olympics.
I try to help the Federation a little bit there. You're going to Athens? I'm going to be traveling around a bit, yeah, Athens, and then checking some of the beaches too.
Great. So, obviously, you have to understand the greetings.
They always say Kalimata for good morning, Kalispera for afternoon, Kalinita, that's good night, and you always just, by just saying yasas, that's hello, goodbye, palak, hello. You're welcome.
Hello. Paul Cisse.
You've got about seven, eight expressions. And, of course, the firm expression that you have to use if somebody cuts you off, Malacca.
Okay. Okay.
Malacca, guy. I love it.
Well, Coach, I know you've got practice coming up. I want to thank you so much for calling in.
We're excited about Mark Pope. I'm excited about St.
John's this year. Thanks so much, and have a great practice.
All right, guys. Tell Mark I love him.
Okay, we will. Thanks so much.
That was Coach Rick Pitino calling in to Kentucky Sports Radio. History has been made.
Full endorsement. Hatchet buried.
Hatchet buried. Well, no, I wouldn't say so.
You don't think so? For us, on this day, Rick Pitino is always welcome on this day. Yes.
But thank you to Coach Pitino. I told everyone they got to stay tuned in for all the people who usually say they turn it off after two minutes.
I think we delivered. You can tell this guy loves Kentucky.
Yes. He really cares about the state of Kentucky.
Yes. And it sounds like he kind of feels bad about going to Louisville.
Yeah. He's like, I get it.
Well, maybe he doesn't feel bad, but he understands the hate that he got from going to Louisville. Yeah.
And so, you know, it's good to see that everything's being mended and he's clearly rooting for Mark Pope, as are we. Alright, we're going to take a break.
When we come back, we'll finish up Hour 1. We also want to hear from you, Kentucky sports fans, 859-280-2287.
That's the Clark Pump and Shop phone number. We're going to take a quick break.
We'll be back right after this. All right.
Who do we got next? We got Jack on the line. Jack from Oakland.
Hey, Jack. What's up, Jack? Jack, what's going on? Hey, guys.
How you doing? How you doing? We're doing we're good we're good so jack uh we've been taking a little victory lap today uh because we we called coach cow's firing eight years ago and he ended up getting fired uh so i you know we know ball it all kind of came to a head when they played in the tournament this year i don't know did you catch the catch the game? I caught a little bit of it. I caught a little bit.
Yeah. So basically what happened was Cal has a great team, and they go up against Oakland, and there's a guy on the other side, Jack Golke, who they just didn't guard.
I don't know if you saw that at all, this guy. If you don't ball at like, you would have guarded a guy like Jack Golke, right? I mean, yeah, like, you would think that a guy like me or him that's really just stroking it like that, they would pick him up full pretty much.
Yeah. During the second half, were you surprised that they were still letting Jack Golke get these open looks? Yeah, it was kind of like, like I said, pick him up full, like deny every catch and just make it tough for him.
Like don't let him catch the ball. Don't let him get a shot up because you know the result is going to come from that.
Yeah, I mean anybody that watched that who knows ball knew that you should guard Jack Golke. And, you know, at this point, me and Big Cat mentioned in the first hour, but Jack Golke kind of could be responsible for the second coming of Kentucky, or I guess the third coming of Kentucky, when they return to glory in the next five, ten years.
Do you think that Jack Golke should be present at whatever Kentucky's next banner ceremony is because he was the man that inspired Kentucky to make a change? I think they should definitely invite him. I hope he gets a warm welcome when they do bring him out and maybe even throw him some of that collective money.
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. And then if there's like maybe two radio hosts that inspired Jack Golke to attend that ceremony, they should probably get a cut of that NIL money too, right? Yeah, I think it should probably be split three ways evenly, I would think.

Yeah.

So, Jack, at what point during that game did you know you were on fire?

Man, it was early.

It was early.

I saw that green light, and I just started gunning.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Have you gone back and do you watch the highlights of that game?

I've definitely rewatched the game a couple times. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't.
It's a lot of fun. Have you had a moment since where you're like, they really just didn't want to guard me at all? I think, I mean, I don't know.
After the game, I just kind of rewatched it. And I was like, there were definitely some open looks I had, but at the same time, I think they were definitely trying.
It wasn't like they were just out there walking around, you know? That actually hurts more because that means you were just better than them. That's a fact.
Something like that. Hey, Jack, are we – I know the answer is probably no, but, like, maybe? Is there a chance your name gets called today?

Man, I got my fingers crossed.

I'm not expecting it, but that would be a great surprise for sure.

Well, I mean, you can look at Kentucky.

There's guys that are coming off the bench at Kentucky that are getting drafted pretty high.

You came off the bench, and I think that the formula is right there.

You might be picked in the second round.

I'm rooting for you, man.

And if you don't get drafted, I'm assuming that there's going to be a team that at least invites you in for a look, right? Yeah, that's the plan right now. It'll kind of all shake out today and tomorrow, honestly, and I'll kind of figure out where I'm going to be headed, hopefully, for Summer League, and maybe I'll see you guys out there.
Yeah, absolutely. And, Jack, one last thing, because I think maybe some listeners right now are like, this is a prank.

This isn't actually Jack Colkey.

Can you explain to us the set of your favorite three against Kentucky

that you hit in the first round of the tournament?

Yes, sir.

So favorite set, we ran against Kentucky first round of the tournament.

The first one I made, it's called UCLA, a side elevator screen, sprint out towards our bench and hit a fadeaway three. I love it.
You know ball. And there's a lot of people in Kentucky that are listening right now and I hope that maybe you'd take the time to just say I'm sorry for beating them so badly.
Yeah, I'd just like to apologize that they got their hopes up. I'm not going to apologize for for winning but I know there's a lot of final fours in the brackets and champions in the brackets so I'd like to apologize for that okay big man alright well Jack thanks so much for calling in you know we're big fans of you and good luck with wherever your next spot is for Summer League yes sir appreciate you guys for having me take care see ya thanks jack that was jack gulky jack from oakland personal friend of ours uh cool guy i think we deserve that one after getting rick patino on yeah we can do no well this is the danger that you run into right now me and big cat we feel like we can do a heat check yeah we we should have stopped after an hour we should have walked off and been like look we finally repaired our our relationship with with big blue nation instead we stuck around, and that's when we start to just be like, hey, we can do anything.
It is an abusive relationship that we're in. We just took you out to the nicest dinner that you've ever had at the best Italian restaurant in town.
And then right afterwards, we go ahead and cheat on you again. Yeah.
All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, we'll take some more calls.
We have Sam Decker and Frank Kaminsky coming up. Okay, let's go to the next caller.
All right, let's go to Cliff. Cliff, what's up? What's up, guys? How we doing? So I'm a little – you guys definitely know Ball.
Yes. Thank you, Cliff.
Call of the day. Call of the day.
Right there, Cliff wins the Don Franklin Auto Call of the Day. That's it.
Right there. Just saying we know ball.
It's a great point. Yeah.
What do you get? Do you get a free car from that? I think so. Yeah.
Okay. Go to the dealership and say, I won Call of the Day.
Where's my truck? Yeah. Matt Jones said, I get a truck.
So, and I'm going to take you back just real quick. In 1997 went to a book signing with rick patino and he was doing success as a choice and of course i'm a uk fan and as a little boy i went up to him and i said hey you're not going to go to the nba and he said i promise i'm not going to go to the nba so he lied to me and but I didn't care because we started getting a lot of players to go to Boston, which was fun to watch, you know, UK players go there.
But when he went to Louisville, that was a slap in the face. And I don't know if I've forgiven him yet, but today's call, I think you guys finally kind of helped me turn that corner with him.

I want to say thank you for that.

But you know ball, and you know how to get to our heartstrings, too, here in Kentucky

because that was absolutely – it was a great call by him.

And hopefully Pope succeeds.

You know, we love Pope out here.

And go Bills. I love it, Cliff.
How old were you in 1997? I was 14. 14-year-old Cliff can finally let go of a grudge, almost a 20-year grudge.
No, more than a 20-year grudge today. We did that.
Thank you so much for doing that for me i love it cliff i love it's a good moment i love hearing that because you've been walking around with you know that that tension in your shoulders for this this past 20 years is hating rick patino now you know what he came home today is the first day of the rest of your life cliff thank you yeah forgiveness is important yeah for sure now when you did call in and you said when i was a little kid and i got my books i thought you were going to say you were six years old and you said don't go to the nba you were you were in high school yeah little kid but i mean 14 i mean i was not driving so anything below i guess 16 I would consider a kid, you know. That's fair.

Yeah.

I was stupid. 14.
I can't believe. Luckily, we didn't have the internet then, or not like we do now.
True. It's a good point.
I don't think that you're going to run into that problem with Pope. I feel like this is the job that Pope wants.
It's not a stepping stone. He's not going to leave because a chicken farm offered him more money.
This is the guy, and he wants to be here. and I do have a question for both of you if you could share a story

share a story about matt jones because oh uh y'all get to know him a little bit more than we do behind the scenes and he doesn't talk about everything he talks about a lot of stuff but is there something like a silly story you try to fit into something he couldn't fit into and y'all have a good rest of the day all right thanks cliff that is a call of day uh i don't know what story comes up in your head right away pft i want to share the first time that i met matt jones okay all right first time i met him i was living in new york city uh great bourbon in new york great racehorses up there and i was in my apartment in the west village and i get a knock on my door and i go to my door and it's this guy with a funky haircut no sideburns uh wearing a Kentucky polo shirt but he had a clipboard in his hand I said how can I help you sir he's like I'm here canvassing for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would you like to sign up to be a member of her campaign staff and I said no thank you and then I shut the door on him and then I found out two years later that was Matt Jones yeah he was he was nice as could be in the moment I just didn't feel like talking to him yeah so my that's a great story my first time uh meeting Matt Jones uh he actually uh so it's similar I was minding my own business get a knock at the door two big men in suits uh put a burlap sack over my head threw me in a van, and then I ended up at a meeting of the Illuminati. And Matt Jones was there, and he tapped me for the Illuminati, and he said, you're part of us now.
I said, I don't want to do this, Matt Jones, please. And he's like, no, if you're in the Illuminati, you're in the Illuminati.
So I am part of the Illuminati now because of Matt Jones, so I do have to thank him for that. And I'll say something very nice about Matt.
He sells the best adrenochrome. Yes.
That's a fact. It is delicious, and I always feel better the morning after drinking it, so thank you, Matt.
And Kentucky Sports Radio listeners who love Matt, you should know that he is going to live to about 300 years because he's been drinking baby blood for a very long time. Wouldn't you say, Shannon? All this is true yeah yeah it's all true yeah every bit of it i wasn't gonna be the one to say those things but i'm glad that you did first yeah shannon's part of the illuminati too one thing i appreciate about him as he he saves all his best radio and his best takes for when he's doing espn radio when he's doing like pre-game shows in the morning on sundays yeah and so a big audience gets to listen to him and then he goes back on kentucky and he's doing ESPN radio.
When he's doing pre-game shows in the morning on Sundays. A big audience gets to listen to him and then he goes back on Kentucky and he's got the leftover scraps for you guys.
But he does a very good job on national radio. Matt's a great guy.
We've known him for a very long time. It's kind of a funny relationship because in all honesty, when we started we weren't huge.
We had a a little bit of a rocket ship with pardon my take but he invited us on to host and it was one of the funnest days that we have every single year and uh he's been a supporter of us there's been times when it's been hard to be a supporter of us so we always remember friends like that and he's uh he's a loyal guy through and through and I think that's a real thing. The Illuminati

is real as well but Matt is very loyal

and he's been a loyal friend for many years.

And he does actually care about the state of Kentucky

very, very deeply. Very much.
Very deeply. No matter

how big his audience gets, if he's

doing TV shows, if he's on Get Up

debating against Stephen A. Smith, whatever the case might

be, he cares first and foremost

about Kentucky sports and

that's never going to change the matter. He's a very, very nice guy.
Yeah, this is actually a real true story. And I hope he doesn't get mad at me for this, but I don't think he will.
Shannon, Matt obviously talked about possibly dipping his toes into politics. Yes, yes, correct.
So when he was thinking about it, he called me and he was like, hey, I'm thinking about this. Just so you know, if I do end up doing this, there will be people who will come after me and they will come after you because your association with me.
And he was trying to give me a heads up. And I was just laughing the whole time he called me because I was like, dude, you don't think we've heard everything that's been said about us? The people that hate us like this is going to be nothing.
I don't know how it's going to go for you, but he was nice enough to, like, he was thinking of his friends in that moment of, like, hey, if I go down this path with politics, it could affect the people in my life. And he was nice enough and aware enough to give me a heads up, which I didn't need, that it could be a ripple effect or a waterfall effect, that if he does this, we could be in the crosshairs as well.
And I always appreciated that from him. And on his side of that, I guess equation he was going through on whether or not to pursue politics or not, he got his hands on some opposition research and he said, they will attack you or they will attack me for being friends with a part of my take guys.
And never once did it occur to Matt to distance himself or anything like that. He's like, I still love you guys.
I'll still defend you. Come on Kentucky Sports Radio once a year.
I like this relationship. So he's a loyal guy.
He's not going to turn his back because his back's against the wall. Yeah, this is actually turning into a sappy Matt Jones segment, but it's a great point because there's been, we've had through the course of our podcast and when we were on TV for one episode, we've had people who we thought were our friends not be our friends and not defend us.
And Matt Jones is the opposite. He's someone who has always defended us and never been ashamed of his relationship with us.
And as you get older and you realize that there are a lot of people that will be nice to your face but not nice when you're out of the room it's guys like matt jones who are the authentic guys who uh you got to hold on to those guys because those are the real ones yeah whenever matt needs a favor we are there for him yeah this is shannon is this disgusting i mean yeah i'm like come on should we go to a break now and end this now? Okay, all right, all right. So right now Matt's listening.
He's probably crying, and he's on his yacht with Greta Thunberg, and they're sailing across the Atlantic Ocean right now, and he's listening on satellite radio. And so, Matt, just know that everything that we just said about you, we were just saying because you pay us.
What is it this year, like $500,000? $500 Sports Radio each year. I think it works out to something like $10,000 a minute.
Well worth it. You guys cut me in a little bit.
Yeah, we can cut you in a little. Okay.
All right. We're at the peak.

Okay, let's wrap up the show with FireFest. Henry? Yes.
What is your FireFest of the week? I mean, we can kind of recap the beer games. My Fyre Fest is pretty much all beer games related.
The hangover that it caused me has set me back maybe lifetimes, maybe years have fallen off my life. You have a terminal hangover? I have so far.
It's been two rough days. Like yesterday was rough, but the first day is expected.
Oh, what happened yesterday? Yesterday, I was just really, really hungover. We had to travel.
We got to the airport. I left my wall in the Uber.
We had to wait. Okay, you're going too fast.
You're going too fast. I'll explain what happened yesterday.
Yesterday we had to work. We had to travel to Cincinnati to interview Joe Burrow, which is coming out Monday, July 8th, when we're back from break.
Just another reminder, we're going on break this week.

We'll have Dungeons & Dragons on Monday.

We'll have our Dingers Only draft with Gunnar Henderson join the show quickly before on

Wednesday, and we'll also update any NBA free agency that show day, and then Joe Burrow

on that Monday.

So we all were very hungover from beer games.

Beer games was a lot of fun. I'm happy with my retirement retirement it was a lot of fun to hang out with the boys uh the hangover and the getting beat up in the pool was not as much fun the the hangover anxiety is the worst part yeah i get i get tremendously anxious the morning after and it's gotten so bad that now i give myself a pre-hangover before i start drinking so before i start drinking i think to myself oh my god i'm gonna be so hung over the next day i'm gonna have all this anxiety then that gives me anxiety going into it yeah so it's like just thinking about drinking now gives me anxiety um but i still love it yeah it was it was it was fun like it was fun hanging out with the boys uh i did want to go home around four o'clock in the afternoon but that's just that that could have been at a bar down the street from my house and i would have been like i'm ready to go home so it was fun you had fun max yeah it was it was very very fun we were talking a lot of a lot of shames on it before but looking back it was great it was great yeah it was great like second with the boys this deck and i showed up and walk a flock i was in the building I was like this is going to be the same Shout out David Bactieri I know we said it on Wednesday He's the man, so is Graham Glasgow So is Quentin Nelson Everyone was awesome The boys, it really was It was the boys Everyone there was the boys Chris Long fax yeah all of it was a blast but so the the one part that wasn't a blast was waking up the next day super hung over in nashville having to go to cincinnati um hank woke up we got like an hour of hank energy at lunch then we got to the airport you know when we burned the hank energy we went out to lunch and that place had a line and then we had to turn back and abandon that lunch plan and at that point hank switched yeah the first inconvenience he was like well i tried oh we got to go to gumbo he had he had like good hyper like i'm i'm okay energy for the first hour of the day and then from that moment on he just was a zero because we got to the airport we get ready to our pilot yes we flew private i know that sounds crazy but we were we had to go nashville since he since he's chicago all within like a five-hour spot uh but we're sitting there ready to go and our pilot's like all right here we're ready to go let's get on the plane and hank stands up he's like i don't have my wallet he had left his wallet in the uber to the airport uh that delayed us like 45 minutes really had no remorse he made it our problem yeah he kind of was just like whatever guys that's not true i just went and hid outside yeah i acted like i was like gonna do anything outside but i just didn't want to deal with you guys staring daggers at me yeah i just went and sat outside then slept on the flight slept on the bus uh ride to the joe burrow interview kind of slinked around at the joe burrow interview it was just i gave hank an hour and a half to uh give me one question for joe burrow the question got the people the question the banter that they quite came out of this question tremendous banter i can't wait to release that question We'll make a clip of this.
We should not preface it with, and I said it in the interview,

and people will be like, the best question in the interview is probably that one. No, we'll make a clip out of this, and then we'll attach it to the actual question.
We'll let the people decide if it gets the banter going, but I asked Hank for one question for Joe Burrow an hour and a half before the interview. I checked in with him after 45 minutes.
I was like, do you have a question? Hank was like, I have nothing. I have absolutely nothing to add.
But you did get one to me eventually. But we determined that the real issue was, what's at the core of Hank's surliness, is that he's had such a great last two weeks that now he can't get excited about anything anymore.
If it's not him having an all-time life experience, Hank will just not be happy at all. You've been spoiled.
The last two weeks have spoiled you, Hank. It was literally the first day that he wasn't just winning something.
It was the first day that one of his heroes didn't ask him to come hang out. Yeah.
And he was like, this stinks. I'm just hanging out with my coworkers.
No, I'm old, and the hang hit differently you guys you guys battled through i tried to and and i i lost the battle uh but my fire fest was going to be and it'll probably be in pm tv i think but people probably saw the screenshots in the video max big cat pft will and taylor roughhousing in the pool and like they had max in a chokehold and you guys were trying to defend him. Yeah, we were all defending each other.
PFT came to my defense. I came to Max's defense.
Max came to PFT's defense. It was basically like a great reminder that when the chips are down, the boys will have each other's back.
And I saw the cameras rolling. I was joking.
I also didn't want to get assaulted, and I was laughing, had my hands up, my feet up. And then I waited for Will to take his hands off of Max, and as a joke, was like, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, to kind of take credit for helping out.
And Will was still very hyped up, and then just took me and basically waterboarded me for 10 minutes. So I actually got what was coming to me worse than anyone else.
I looked like a ghost, a bald ghost, just getting rinsed. And I also can't chug beers.
Yeah. Yeah.
Which I love going into it. I love having you around.
Yeah, I was happy I got the invite in, but I knew I was not going to be able to compete. And then I think the most viral clips from the beer games were me not being able to chug and then me and Will waterboarding me.
Yeah. And those got around.
I heard back about it. It wasn't great.
Yeah. What did we expect showing up to this? Because I don't think we actually expected to win.
I just want to have a good time. You guys thought you were going to win.
No, no. I wanted to compete.
And I knew that. Listen, I'm not a good chugger either.
I actually beat PFT, but no one saw that. I can drink all day.
Yeah. Max and I would have been third if we were a team.
I beat you by a second, Hank. Interesting.
Per Jersey Jerry. Hank, I love having you around and being part of the team because what happens is whenever you, yesterday I joked, if we had a plus minus for a part of my take you were like a minus 26 in four minutes played uh i stepped in three turnovers and airballed the shot and then subbed out for the rest of the game it wasn't just that you were having a bad day you were blaming us for your bad then what hank does whenever he gets in that mood he goes i could have just not come he just tries to disinvite himself from everything it's our fault we know i want you here i love you we we walked into the joe burrow interview which was a body armor shoot and uh i walked in hank was behind me we get inside i noticed that the first thing i noticed about hank is he's carrying a big water bottle of a competing sponsor to body.
He was on the bus. I wasn't thinking.
In the body armor. I wasn't in the right state of mind.
And then when we told him about that, then he blamed me for not telling him not to bring that in there. Well, no.
I yelled that. And then PFT was like, I saw that.
I was like, you didn't say something to me? You're like, no. I just watched you do it.
No, I was in front of you. So you're still doing it.
You're still blaming me. Well, because I got a stern talking to from one of our co-workers and she was like put that bottle away right now i was like oh fuck i'm so dumb and pft's like yeah i saw that i was like it could have said something well i saw it as as you put the bottle away it's again my fault hank for no no it's we should not have brought you on the trip yeah i was i was a minus.
It's fine. Good guy, though.
Thanks. Oh, Hank? Yeah.
Yeah, I love Hank. I love having him around, even when he submits a minus 26 in four minutes played.
I think I was a plus overall on the trip. I was probably close to even.
Yeah. I mean, you getting told that you were.
That was the other part that we forgot. It might be in PMTV, which has our whole trip,

but Hank was late to the airport on Monday night,

and he was like, I might miss the flight.

And that was when I found out that Roan was sick and that I offered up Hank's services to compete.

And I deliberately waited until he got to the gate

to tell him that he was competing,

because I know that if I had told him when he was in his Uber,

he would have just pretended that he didn't make it in time. His face dropped.
He was so mad. Well, I just, and it's true.
Like I had the yak case race. I was fucked up for three days after that, the parade, I was fucked up still basically going to the airport.
And so I was like, it wasn't that I didn't want to play. And once I once i started playing i was having a blast but i was like once you told me like you're in the beer games i just i was not ready for that yeah yeah i basically had three of the the most drunk i've ever been in the past like five years in the past week yeah no i was july 4th coming up i was saying someone i think i drank more beer in the last seven days than i have in like the last two years it's a lot i think hank said that he's retiring he's done drinking effective

at the end of july is that true yeah i was like i gotta take a break and after july

but then it's august labor day i know well usually i wait till september but it's like

we've had a really early start yeah we did you're not gonna have any beer on grit week no but i need to i like take a break like maybe like a weekend or something yeah take a week like a sat just don't drink on a sat yeah yeah okay pft okay uh yeah my fire fest is also that i i stink at chugging but i knew that i stink at chugging i've never been able to chug so i knew that was going to be a bad category for us but we i feel like me and big cat responded well in some other events three beers is a lot i the listeners people it's like golf it's like everyone's a pro but like well no i mean max and i are pros yeah yeah but three beers is a lot for just a normal person for an average person 8.19 seconds yeah chugging three beers yeah thank you yeah are we is this passing the torch moment right now i guess taylor would be throat coat he did in five seconds yeah he's hanging out with jeffrey star it's insane uh so that's one of my fire fest the other is that um so it's also airport related we get to the airport on uh what day was that monday. Monday night to fly out.
And security, it's a very long line going through there. Usually it's pretty smooth, at least if you have clear, not to brag, pay for a clear subscription.
It's TSA PreCheck on steroids. Turns out it's actually not because sometimes they shut the clear down and you can't even use that.
My FireFest is more that I've been meaning to get tsa pre-check for the last 15 years of my life and it involves making an appointment and then going to the appointment usually during business hours and then you just have to like answer some questions and then they just say okay you're now your airport experience is gonna be 20 times better yeah here on out and i still haven't done it you guys you guys were living off my tsa pre-check for a while because whenever we booked together you would get it automatically which seems like a really weird loophole yeah you're cool that means that all your friends are cool yeah no it's not necessarily that it's just that usually clear is pretty good yeah it's it's not bad but there's you know two or three times a year where the clear does nothing to help yeah or if you go to a specific airport that doesn't have it so i i am traveling internationally which is going to be i can already tell that they're probably not going to have clear in greece so uh that will be an issue for me but it's just about getting pre-check and then uh going to that appointment it takes like 20 minutes i know and i've put it up the best thing i've ever done it's you know what i'm gonna declare right now i'm never gonna do it okay i'm never gonna be a pre-check guy just because i i know myself and going to an appointment there's probably an email involved in it too that you have to click on this is just not and you get it and you just have it forever it's just not my thing shout out to my dad when i lived in boston so it was that long ago he got me tsa as like a gift and but the appointment window was like eight to 12 months ahead yeah and so I never I never ended up going to it and I never have okay so here's but shout out to my dad well he tried he tried yeah he was he was it was a good kind gesture I just didn't I wasn't going to schedule an interview for 12 months from now I didn't know what I was doing in. Yeah.
Here's the moment I knew I would never get TSA pre-check. Right after I got to- Sure, it's easier now.
Right after I got to Chicago, I went to a place, and it's like, TSA pre-check while you wait. I drove there, walked in the door, talked to the person at the front, and they said, do you have an appointment? I said, I didn't know that you had to make an appointment.
They said, yeah, you do. If you just walk in right now, it's about a two and a half hour wait.
So I left. And at that point, that's my shot.
Yeah. I took my shot at it.
Yeah. And I can't do it again.
It's just not for me. Yeah.
It is nice having TSA pre-check except for when the only time it sucks is when you have clear and TSA pre-check when they don't have the two separate lines. So sometimes I'll show up and you'll do clear and then I'll, they'll walk me past everyone in the TSA pre-check line.
Yeah. I'll cut everyone.
And that's always a weird feeling. You get, yeah, you get the plus.
Yeah. What usually happens to me after going through clear, they usually take my bag out anyways.
And then I have like my microphone and a computer in there if I'm going on a vacation or a trip and

I have to have it in case we podcast and then they look at me and they say oh are you in a band and then I have to say no I'm a podcaster yeah I have to clarify that yeah um all right my fire fest is I it's similar to Hank's I've just my brain is empty it's been a long seven days eight days. Also, I

just, I miss the sphere.

I don't think my life's

ever... My brain is empty.
It's been a long seven days, eight days. Also, I just, I miss the sphere.
I don't think my life's ever going to be the same. I got to get back.
Everything just seems like, there's been multiple times where I've just been sitting and being like, man, I wish I was at the sphere right now. It sounds like the sphere is quite a trip.
It sounds like the sphere is better than real life. It's like you're experiencing the avatar syndrome.
Yes, correct. Where people go to see Avatar and then they get depressed when they leave because the world is an avatar.
That's exactly how I feel. What if they played Avatar in the sphere? It would rock.
Anything would be cool. That'd be heaven.
Yeah. So I don't know.
It's just not the same life. Max, Firefest? I do have one, but we don't have to talk about it oh okay good that's good podcasting well i don't know if we if i do like i don't even do fire fest yeah no you do now get ready to learn fire fest we've had like a really busy past couple weeks and i was doing a really good job of working out every day and like trying to eat healthy during the week and the past couple weeks i, you go through some of the footage from beer games.
I'm feeling fat, like fat as fuck. Beer games.
I don't know how it happened, but every time I turned around another piece of your Jason Kelsey jersey was gone. And the funniest part is that you kept it.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
Like you ripped that Jersey up to shreds to the point where it's basically like a caddy

It was a poncho.

Yeah, it was like a poncho.

No, not even a poncho.

It was just a caddy bib.

It looked like a dog got a hold of it and tore it up, and you're like, fuck it, I'm

going to wear it anyway.

So then you're like, I'm going to hold on to it.

But if we ever do the beer games again, I would have to wear it again.

You'd have to wear it again.

You know what it looked like?

It got so bad at the end that it looked like a jersey you would wear because it's your

lucky jersey, and you're never giving it up.

So you're like, I have to put this on. I know it looks like shit, but I got to wear it.
Yeah. Max, you also had a moment that we should probably address during beer games where who came up to you and said, I can't believe Jason Kelsey got here.
Who was that? That was Bakhtiari. Bakhtiari.
Bakhtiari was in. He's the man.
But he came up to Max and was like, wow, I thought Jason Kelsey wasn't going to be here. And Max didn't think he was joking.
Well, it was the way he worded it. It was the way he worded it.
How did he word it? He was like, I want you to know. It would be like, yo, big fan.
I've been following you. You think Dave Bakhtiari would go up to Kelsey and say, big fan? Well, that what he said and he was like i love what you and your brother are doing i'm like well i don't know what that means none of this went through my head and he was like and i was like shit dude like why are you i was like that's crazy that you're coming up to me like a fucking idiot and then i and then he was like yeah jason right i was like oh my god You're talking about Jason Kelsey.
I thought you were saying that you were a fan of myself, which is so embarrassing for me to think. And then I just kept like hitting it, like slapping him on the arm.
I was like, ah, that was a good one. I don't know.
I turned around and got out of the conversation as quickly as possible because I was so embarrassed. You know what was striking to me is because there were so many big dudes at beer olympics just a ton of offensive linemen and they all look like they're in much better shape than us yeah so it's like stereotypically you think oh lineman you think big fat guys i feel like that's that's old oh these guys yeah like the new age of o linemen are all red they're all in great shape that's the scariest part of going to beer games too because I always just size is age

to me so like i was talking to uh a couple guys who is it zach uh who's the guy on the eagles now uh trevor keegan trevor keegan and zach who got drafted i think was it zach minter that was another thing michigan man i got outed as not being a ball knower by him. Yeah, that was very bad.
But they both got drafted. They're both bigger guys because they're offensive linemen, and I'm just thinking in my head, like, you're big.
You're at least 35. They're, like, 22.
Yeah. Like, God damn it.
Yeah, I felt like I was a different species.

It was not Zach Minter.

I'm thinking of a bear.

What the fuck am I thinking of?

Who's the guy who was...

All right.

Who knows?

Draft picks.

Michigan draft picks.

Who were you talking to?

Who was your guy?

Who was your guy? The Eagles guy? Yeah. Trevor Keegan.
Trevor Keegan. Michigan.
Awesome dude. He was like, you're such a big Eagles fan.
Who am I? Trevor Keegan, awesome dude. And I want to shout out the other guy because I'm fucking this up.
Oh, Zach Zinter. Yes, Zach Zinter, also awesome dude.
Plays for the Browns now. They're both like 23 years old.
Large humans. And they could kick our ass in beer games and in life.
We got to get back to Arion, though. He is the guy.
The fact that he got Max in a blender like that was awesome. Okay.
