On today's part of my take, we have our good, good friend, Ryan Russillo, getting ready for the NBA Finals. Awesome time with him.
Obviously, we veer into different directions, but he's one of our favorite guests. We are, because we're stuck in between, like a time warp here, where we're not in Mount Rushmore season, but we also just don't have any NBA finals or Stanley Cup finals games.
We're going to rank something, and we're going to rank something that's going to get everyone mad. We're going to rank QBs for the 2024 season.
I also have a special ranking that I wanted to throw out to the boys that I told them to get prepped. I'm going to spring on them.
No, yeah, you told us not to get prepped. I think we're going to have fun with it, though.
There's no prep needed. Okay.

Today is Wednesday, June 5th. And, boys, we are stuck in a wormhole.
It's purgatory. It's a purgatory.
We're not in heaven. We're not in hell.
We're just kind of waiting to get brought into heaven. Yes.
Hopefully it's got a one-in, one-out policy, and they find out that somebody up there did something bad, and then NBA Finals is here. Yeah, I had it on Monday night.
I was like, what the fuck am I supposed to watch? It's a little mini experience of how we get after the Super Bowl, where there's no sports, and then your mind just starts to wander, and you go a little bit crazy. You start caring about a lot of stuff that you didn't care about before.
I just need sports to get back. we spent an entire day talking about the wnba i know it was a lot by the way i don't i don't want to say we told you so but we told you so because i there were some people who were like why did you guys talk about wnba on sunday's sunday night's pod and also like you guys are being pussies because you're not uh calling out angel reese enough or whatever you You know, we were right.
The discourse got even worse on Monday.

It's bad.

It got so fucking crazy. We had McAfee calling Caitlin Clark that white bitch.
Yeah, but he said it in a loving way. I agree.
The context there, but we've been... It looked bad in a quote.
We have had moments where our context has been lost. So it's like I am very sympathetic to Pat, but I also understand how he can get himself in that because the world's crazy and all these people are nuts and no one cares that Pat was saying it in a way that they didn't take it.
It's always fun to start a sentence with, I deeply regret saying that white bitch. Yeah.
Nothing good is going to come from that apology. We're on Pat's side.
We're on Pat's side. But I also think that if you were to print out a transcript of every part of my take and then read it aloud, or not read it aloud, like put it on a television

and see the words that we say, we would probably be in prison.

Yeah.

And then we had Stephen A. Smith getting absolutely owned on his own show.

And then to top it all off, this is the end of our WNBA talk, but to top it all off this is more just again the discourse has gotten so out of hand just play basketball let's just talk about basketball uh this was from the chicago tribune editorial board the foul committed by chicago sky guard chenity carter on caitlin clark was egregious outside of a sporting event it would have been seen as an assault yeah just shut the fuck up uh have you ever seen a tackle in the nfl just shut the fuck up they literally that's basically everything that would happens inside of a sporting event would be assault if it happened outside of a sporting event how about a 99 mile an hour pass fastball at someone's head just somebody getting onto a train just being them well how about hockey how about fighting in hockey yeah can you imagine if i i was talking to tice about this the other day imagine if if there were fights in the nba people would fucking hate fighting yeah in the nba but hockey school like i love it i wish it happened in the nba uh i wish it happened the wmba just square up yeah square up but either way we were we were right on that we were in this time uh wormhole that sucks so we're gonna do something that's gonna make it suck even more and people get more mad at us we're gonna rank the 2024 starting quarterbacks we do have an nba preview finals preview with rusillo coming up yes we do also have a stanley cup final preview with ryan whitney of oilers fame coming on friday while we're covering it while we're doing, while we're doing the rankings, if you are not interested in talking about NFL quarterbacks in the month of June, can we just have the Edmonton Oilers fan just like split screen? She's just on it. And then, so she'll be on it too.
While we're talking about, about NFL. Also, if you are not interested in ranking quarterbacks, get out.
Yeah, I guess I could, you could just sit down at any bar in america you could put me in any airport uber if someone just starts saying i think this guy's better than this guy it's like all right let's do it and what's going to be great is how mad people will get oh yeah so let's make people mad yeah okay so we gotta start at the bottom right or do we go at the top oh're doing all 32. We don't have to do all 32.
I think we should do all 32. We could rip.
You know what we could do? We could do the cheat code of saying all the rookies are at the bottom. I don't agree with that.
Oh, you don't? No. Because Daniel Jones is good at this? Well, here's what you get to do.
You get to say, like, CJ Stroud, he proved to us last year that being a rookie is no excuse. Yeah.
You can still be one of the's true are you saying this because you i'm a stroud currently have a rookie quarterback i'm talking about cj stroud and the precedent that he said i'm just curious you should we just do the top 10 do 31 just make one fan base really really mad oh there's their qb will but we have to but then when we when we number it we have to skip a number so you see 32 yeah I like that. Yeah.
I like that. All right, what fan it, we have to skip a number.
So you see 32.

Yeah.

I like that.

Yeah.

I like that.

All right, what fan base should we decide to do it?

Should we piss off?

Should we just do the Falcons?

Michael Pinnock's? Oh, we should put Michael Pinnock's as the starter.

No, Kirk Cousins, I firmly believe he should be number 16.

Okay.

Why don't we do the Giants?

That's perfect.

Okay, Giants 32?

No, no, no.

No Daniel Jones.

Okay.

On the list.

And then there will be a 32 and we'll like skip number 26.

All right, yep.

I mean, it's got to be the Broncos.

Bo Nix?

Yeah.

So Bo Nix would be 32?

Yeah.

All right, so we put Bo Nix 32.

Let's put Bo Nix 32 and then we'll work back from there. Okay.
Alex O'Connell. Is he the starter? Aiden.
Aiden O'Connell. The former Duke.
Alex O'Connell. Yeah, AOC.
I mix up my AOCs. Is he the starter? Only part of my take athlete in NIL history.
That's true. Yeah.
Aiden O'Connell. Wait, no, no.
Minshew. Oh, yeah, Minshew.
Minshew. Yep, okay.

How quickly we forget.

Right?

Isn't Gardner Minshew a Raider?

Yeah, he is a Raider.

So I think we go, so 32 is Bo Nix, 31 Minshew?

Just kind of disrespectful to Minshew.

Yeah.

Very disrespectful.

Okay.

So.

Mariota.

No, he's a backup.

What?

This is off to a great start.

This is an awesome start.

Let's do top 10. Let's do top 10.
Bryce Young. Okay, I like that.
Bryce Young's 31. Who knows what he'll show us this year? Yes.
All we have to go on is what has been presented to us. All right, Bo Nix, 32.
Bryce Young, 31. I think then we should just do the rookie quarterbacks.
I think we should rip through them. Don't you think that's fair? Yeah, but it's important who's at the top of the list.
Yeah. So you're putting AOC ahead of all these rookies.
Oh, yeah, yeah. No, Minshew.
All right, here we go. 32, Bo Nix.
31, Bryce Young. 30, Gardner Minshew.
29 is when we start all the rookie starters. Okay, so the worst rookie starter.
Who do you think that is? JJ McCarthy? Should we just go by draft order? I'd be fine with that. Yeah, I'm fine with that.
I'm cool with that. I think that's a good way to do it.
I'm fine with that. Okay, we agree.
Alright, so that's easy. We're already ripping through this.
Alright, so Spencer Rattler. Are you ranking this right now for us live i'm ready i'm on my computer can you can you can you do a notes app uh max so that we can just have it live in front of us because we are going to get very confused very very i already am yeah already very confused but i think we've got this so 30 just to rehash where we're at 32 Bo Nix, 31, Bryce Young, 30, Gardner Minshew, and then at 29, we're at 32 bo nicks 31 bryce young 30 gardner minshu and then at 29 we're going to start with jj then 28 drake may 27 jade mcdaniels jaden daniels daniels and why i say mcdaniels who's why is it jaden mcdaniels he's a basketball player mcbasketball player and then skip 27 or actually no skip 26 do 27 uh jayden daniels 26 caleb williams then skip 25 because that way because they're all linked together it'll be confusing i like how we put bo nicks as a rookie yeah in last place yep all right so 24 okay who got out there at the bottom? Derek Carr.
That's not bad. It's not a bad suggestion.
It's not a bad one. We do have a friend.
There's a lot of really good quarterbacks. Deshaun Watson? He's not our friend.
Yeah, let's put Deshaun. Yeah, let's put Deshaun at 23.
Yeah, I like that. I love that.
Oh, no. Yeah, okay, now 22, Russell Wilson Yes, yes We're actually ripping through this 21, let's go Anthony Richardson Yeah, I like him But we gotta be fair 20 should be Will Levis Okay Trevor Lawrence, 19 He was bad last year I don't know if we go Trevor Lawrence 19 Gino oh yeah Gino Fittsson at 19 then T-Law hmm Kyler Kyler we forgot about Kyler yep Kyler okay we're doing a good job here 18 is Kyler 17 by the way we're definitely going to get to the end and fuck this up but that's okay that's okay that's part of the process we're doing a good job here.
So 18 is Kyler. 17.
By the way, we're definitely going to get to the end and fuck this up.

But that's okay.

A million percent.

That's okay.

That's part of the process.

We're doing this right now, guys.

I like Dak here.

Dak.

Yeah.

Dak right behind Kirk Cousins.

Yes.

Hank, you get a call on one as well because he just used his Dak call.

Okay.

So 16, should we go Kirk Cousins?

Yeah, 16 should be Kirk.

Yep.

Right exactly in the middle.

And then 15, Trevor Lawrence. 14, Baker Mayfield.
Yep. Love that.
People are going to get so mad. I like this.
Love that. 13, Stafford.
Yep. Okay.
12, Tua? Tua. Tua fits there.
Rodgers, too. Rodgers is hurt.
Yeah, outside the top ten? Yeah. Scroll up a little bit.
Rodgers. I like this list.
This is going to make some people mad. Jordan Love.
We want to put him in here anywhere? I mean, if I have to be honest, he's definitely top ten, so that's a problem. He's ten.
You can tell Packers fans I put him in my top 10. Okay, yeah, yeah.

You know what?

Jalen Hurts.

Oh, you want Jalen Hurts at 10?

That's your call, Hank?

Yeah, I mean, I think he's already slipped too far down.

He had no other call.

He had no other call.

His call.

All right, put him in.

10.

Head of Aaron Rodgers.

That's pretty good.

That's pretty good.

No, Max, put him in.

Jalen Hurts, 10.

You got your Dak pick. Is Brock still available? Oh, yeah.
Brock's still available. Brock's higher than nine.
Eagles fans are going to be so mad. Brock is higher than nine.
Should we say Jared at some point just to show that we're not completely biased? we'll save Jared I just gave my opinion alright we'll save Jared Herbert Herbert 9 injured there's a lot of good quarterbacks in the NFL there's a lot of good quarterbacks in the NFLfl okay maybe jared at jared at seven i like jared at seven that feels okay so put what brock at eight brock at eight jared at seven jordan love at six i feel like that's rounded out pretty nice on jordan love i think should be jared should be ahead of jordan love yes so jordan love at seven jared goff at six six yeah love that i Love that. I love that for us.
Mm-hmm. It's perfect.
Perfect ranking. Okay, after that, let's see.
Joe is probably – I'm going to put Joe top five. Yep.
I'm going to put Josh top five. I think it goes – I think – all right.
I'll give you my top five. You can tell me this is crazy.
I think based on injuries and not being around right now, I think it has to go Joe, CJ Stroud, Lamar, Josh, Mahomes. I'm also okay if you want to switch Lamar and Josh just so that way people can't say the Glazen's crazy.
Let's flip CJ and Joe. Okay.
I think put CJ at five. Five.
Joe at four. Joe at four.
Do you want to go Josh at three? That way people can't accuse us. Let's do that.
That way we cover our bases. Josh, if you're listening to this, you're definitely two.
I would rather have Josh than Lamar. Okay, yeah, I would too.
All right, so yeah, Josh has to be two. Yeah.
Dude. Josh has come closer to winning in the playoffs than Lamar has.
I think this might be the perfect quarterback list because we did just enough to piss people off where it also still looks real. And you would never know that Daniel Jones isn't on there.
Yep. I forgot.
I honestly forgot that Daniel Jones wasn't on there at all. Yeah.
What do you think, out of all these rankings, which one do you think will make the most people angry?

Dak, for sure.

Yeah.

Dak, for sure.

Dak behind. Jalen Hurts as well.

Jalen Hurts will get Philly mad.

Baker ahead of Trevor.

Yeah.

People get upset about that.

Jalen at 10.

Yeah.

And the thing is, people will get mad at Justin Herbert at number nine,

but if you look at the names in front of them,

I agree with our list.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I like it.

I like it a lot.

Okay, we did it.

Yeah, good job.

Good list.

Fucking crushed that list, boys.

Okay, do you want to do the...

So we'll put that on a graphic.

We'll put it out there.

Memes, you got any problem with this list?

You think Rodgers should be higher?

No, looks like a good list. Rodgers will prove that he's the number one quarterback this year oh he's better than patrick mahomes yeah patrick mahomes never beat him in the playoffs okay so that uh leads me to the next thing that i was going to spring on you someone uh let me see if i have the name because i want to shout them out uh when we asked for lists, this person had a very good idea with a list.
Oh, yeah. I'm going to shout out JMB47231988.
Shout out JMB47231988. That sounds like a burner.
Shout out that guy. He said he would like to hear, pardon my take,

to a list of things that would be a real shame.

Oh, that's good.

That's really good.

All right.

It would be a real shame if memes,

the guy he just said is going to be the number one quarterback, got hurt on Monday Night Football for the second straight year. It would be a real shame if memes, the guy he just said, is going to be the number one quarterback, got hurt on Monday Night Football for the second straight year.
It would be. That would be a real shame.
A real shame. I think if the Celtics get swept, that would be a real shame.
We're going to make a graphic of this. It'd be a real shame.
That would be a real shame. That would be a real shame.
If the Beer Olympics got canceled. That would be a real shame real shame that would be one of the biggest shames i've ever had to feel deep down in my soul i'd be so mad that would be a real shame you know what'd be a real shame is if uh jake's twitter account accidentally did the ray allen tweet that would be a real fucking shame somebody logged into it that'd be a real shame i'm proud of myself for holding my ground on that one yeah but imagine if someone had gotten your password and tweeted that yeah that would be a real fucking shame.
Somebody logged into it. That would be a real shame.
I'm proud of myself for holding my ground on that one. Yeah, but imagine if someone had gotten your password and tweeted that.
Yeah. That would be a real shame.
I'll say one personally. It would be a very big shame if Caleb Williams wasn't good.
Yeah, it would be. It would be a really big shame.
You know what would be a real shame? If, like, first week of training camp with Hard Knocks there, Caleb Williams got injured. I don't like this.
And then all of Hard Knocks. You just say this about any of your quarter.
No, but I'm saying, like, and then we had to watch Hard Knocks for four weeks, and it was all about Caleb Williams getting hurt. That would be such a shame.
That would be a shame. It would be a real shame.
Shut up about it. That's not what we wrote, Max.
Max wrote down Caleb Williams was Ben Simmons. That's not what we wrote.
That would be a shame. That was not what we wrote.
But that would be. No, that was not what we wrote.
I thought that was just good wording for what we were saying. Yeah, yeah.
Would be a real shame if Jalen Hurts wasn't the guy. Yeah.
Wouldn't it? It would be. Wouldn't it? Definitely.
Max? That would be a shame. Yeah.
Okay. I'm writing it down be a shame if the phillies started to play actual teams oh well it's a real shame that they beat the first place brewers last night oh of the nl central you got to make a line somewhere the nl central sucks dude who's good uh the dodgers haven't played them yet.
Okay, Yankees. They're different, not even the same league.
Okay, but you just asked who's good, and I just gave you two teams. Yeah, but you only play the other league once a year.
Padres sneaky, not bad. Beat the Padres.
How many times? I think we swept them. Mariners are pretty good other league um orioles are really good yes orioles are really that would be a sweep of the padres okay orioles are really good you want to say anything about the orioles uh yeah the other league i don't know what you want guardians and the royals are good you're really good you're really good at saying the other league league just finding out the nl sucks okay other things other things that would be a real shame yeah i mean the nl central is really bad the cubs are still in second place in there uh they've lost like a billion games in a row thank you get any real shames oh it'd be a shame if hank couldn't dunk yeah it'd be a real shame if i paid all this money to get trained and then Duncan had to pay even more money.
That would suck. It would be.
That would suck. It'd be a real shame if something happened to Mr.
Pear. Oh, it would be a shame.
I don't feel comfortable writing that down. Write it down.
If something happened, I didn't say what. I said something.
Also, are we going to rank these or are we just like- No, it's just things that would be a real shame. It would be a real shame.
It would be. It would be a real shame if the part of my take account tweeted out the Sad Max picture four more times this week.
Oh, no. Well, that's the most likely to happen.
Yeah, that is true. That is most likely to happen for sure.
It'd be a real shame if Joel Embiid asked for a trade. It would be.
Wouldn't it? Real shame. That would be a real goddamn shame.
It would be a real shame if Joel Embiid was starting at center for the USA and we lost in the championship game to Jokic. Oh, man.
I'm also not going to that game. Didn't realize that town is four hours away from Paris.
That's crazy. How is it the Paris Olympics and the game is four hours away? When it's the Atlanta Olympics, they've got games all over the country.
That's bullshit. That shouldn't be the case.
Okay. Veto.
Veto. All right.
Let them know. Let them know.
Any other shames? Hmm. Real shame if- It would be a shame if PFD was better at golf than Hank.
It would be a shame. That would be a shame.
It would be a shame if Hank's next vacation to an island, he went to Turks and Caicos and forgot that he had ammunition in his suitcase. Ooh, that would be a shame.
It would be a shame if when the John Daly video came out, if everyone just watched the first two holes. That would be a real shame.
That would be a real shame. It would be a real shame if you hypothetically went to Tom Brady's retirement ceremony and didn't meet him and he thought you might.
Oh, no. Is that? No, it's not.
It would be a real shame. But is that a concern? I don't know.
I think so. No, this is...
I feel good about it. I don't know.
That would absolutely be a real shame. I know.
Is it like a wedding where if somebody comes to your retirement ceremony, you have to shake everyone's hand? Do you have to say hi to everyone? No. There's a chance.
There's a non-zero chance. Do you have a present for him? Myself? My presence is a present.
You should bring a present to a man's retirement ceremony. Give him a formal invitation to part of my take.
Oh, yes. Yeah, print it out.
Let's print it out. We'll get a nice envelope.
Yes, celebrities love it when you hand them envelopes. No, I'm thinking like the Grammys envelope.
Yeah. Put a seal on it.
And make sure you tell him no anthrax in this. Here you go.
You say it'd be a shame, maybe right on the front, it'd be a shame if there was anthrax in this because that would be a shame. Just say, hand it to him, hang it, say, here you go.
It's safe. Is that a thing with envelopes? What do you mean? Oh, you don't know about the anthrax scare.
Oh. Never caught the guy that did it.
Yeah, you're not old enough? I guess. Right after right after 9 11 somebody sent a bunch of anthrax to like capitol hill post office yeah yeah real scary yep real scary real shame if someone were doing real shame mail just stopped existing it's the dumbest thing in the world wait so that wouldn't be a shame it'd be a real shame if mail do you know what we're doing here yeah yeah yeah uh like it'd be a real shame if mail continued to.
Do you know what we're doing here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it would be a real shame if you crashed a boat this summer.
Yes. That would be a real shame.
That would be a real shame. Don't write that down.
I mean, it would be. It's a good addition to the list.
It would be a real fucking shame. Jake, you have any real shames for us? It'd be a real shame if Max got the lottery ball.
Oh. No.
Shit. It would be a shame.
You're right. That was a good one.
That was a really good one. It would be a real shame if he got it.
No, if he never got it. If he never got it.
That's not what he said. That's not what he said.
I wrote down what he said. Jake.
See how it's phrased differently? It'd be a real shame if Max just literally never got the lottery ball. Real shame.
Real shame. Jake had one shot.
That's okay. That's okay.
It'd be a real shame if Vanny Woodhead showed up at our doorstep and there was a bomb inside oh that would be a big shame a big shame be a big shame also pretty funny move yeah by billy also be also good chance that never gets here yeah also very good chance yes because billy somehow has it in his head that once it gets here we're gonna fire him yeah like what how does he think that has he thought for the last five years that vanny woodhead's existence kept his job maybe he's been holding us i think so i think that's exactly what he's been thinking uh okay anyone any else memes you got one you got a good one come on memes can't hear your memes can't hear your memes he just said i'm trying to think Oh no It'd be a real shame if we podcasted extra long That would be a shame Wait what? Why are you saying it like Are you trying to miss softball? No we're talking about things that would be a real shame That would be a real shame That'd be a real real shame That'd be a real shame It'd be a real shame if something happened to charlotte the stingray oh man by the way you see the update what she was never pregnant yeah i was i was right you told us that no but there's a new update oh the aquarium is a deja vu yeah i feel like you said that on sunday the aquarium admitted to it oh got it they admitted oh did i say that a reproductive disease? Pretty sure you did, yeah. Okay, all right.
Yeah, unless there's a chance

that we're going to be aquarium admitted to it oh got it they admitted oh did i say that the reproductive disease pretty

sure you did yeah okay all right yeah unless there's a chance that was off camera but i don't think it was it'd be a real shame if we kept on getting charlotte singray updates we won't this is final oh no memes finish us off i was gonna say it'd be a shame if my dick got bigger that doesn't really work but yeah yeah I said to Max I don't think I did it I wanted you to say it no I'm keeping it that doesn't work it would work more if it'd be a real shame if Max and memes posted the video of us golfing when I flash him my tiny penis. That would actually be a shame.
That would be a shame. That would be a shame.
Every time we go golfing, Max and memes get me peeing. And then every time they get me peeing, I just turn around and say, we can't use this anymore.
This is also just Big Cat admitting to workplace harassment. No, it's not.
You guys are harassing me first. He was peeing.
He was clearly peeing. I'm fighting harassment with harassment.
You were videotaping me peeing. That's harassment.
This also all started by the first golf video we did. I went to go piss, and you said, get that fat man peeing over there.
I don't recall. I don that doesn't sound like something i do not recall i do not recall i i've hung out with big cat for the last seven years eight that that doesn't sound like words that no chance i said that yeah no max and max and memes have my penis on camera many times in their hard drives that they could just you put that on twitter now they could just they could just put i...
I'm doing you guys a favor. I'm giving you guys blackmail.
Like, you guys could just walk up to me one day and just be like, Hey, remember all those times you flashed us? I got them all. And now the internet's just going to be like, release...
By the way, the flash comes from like 30, 40 feet away. It's not right in the face.
I saw the size of it. No one would accuse you of blackmail.
It'd be white mail. Yeah.
It's hardly a flash. It's hardly a flash.
Alright. That was good.
Yeah. Good list.
Two good lists. Shout out.
Hold on. Let me get his...
We're so productive. Look at us.
Let me get that guy again. Shout out JMB472388 you know what i might give him a follow definitely a burner his last tweet was from uh march 6 2024 just hashtag clemmer i like that what's your favorite one out of that was probably during the uh yeah the stream that he did yeah My favorite one out of all of these.

Can I give you a real answer or a fake answer?

Beer Olympics getting canceled.

It'd be such a shame.

That'd be my fake answer.

My real answer out of all of these.

If Hank crashed the boat.

That would be a shame.

It would be a shame, dude. That would be a fucking shame.
That would be sad. I don't like how we're just bringing this into existence now.
No, but being safe, like if he wasn't injured. Yeah, he wasn't injured.
He wasn't injured. I don't want him.
Yeah, Jake, I'm not thinking like crashes and dies. I'm just thinking he has to pay for a whole book.
Memes, I don't know if you got the camera on Hank's face after the crash boat. He did the Cam Newton okay.
Let's go. He's okay.
Yeah. I see how it is.
Quite literally, I just saw that in real life, and it was, Hank, I believe in you. Yeah.
You're not going to crash. There's no way that you crash a boat this summer.
Yeah. Zero percent chance.
No, the number one is a clear one-one is it would be such a shame if the beer olympics got canceled like that would be that would break my heart that'd break my heart i don't know how i would actually i don't know how i'd recover i don't know how i'd move on if if it somehow got canceled and the only way it would get canceled is if enough people backed out and i think we're pretty close to that so no one else back out or else it might get canceled right and we don't want that because it would be a shame don't do it yeah it'd be one more it'd be a shame if miley cyrus came on the podcast yeah that would be a shame that would be a shame uh okay that was good list two lists feel accomplished like we did some good work here uh all right let's do hot seat cool thronei Cool Throne brought to you by our friends at Coors Light.

That was fun. It was on our because if when you listen to russillo we got into some boat talk i do not want that no that's fine yes you do you know i do not no no made your true major truth known and that's fine i'm saying right now i do not want that but you already you can't you can't have it both ways no i'm not i said it was a shame now i'm saying to you those are the same thing so would it be a shame or would it not be a shame? It would 100% be a shame.
Right. So that's, yeah, that's your real answer.
I feel like we're saying this. No, it's a shame.
A shame is a bad thing. I don't want it.
The question was, which one do you want to happen? I don't want you to get in any boating incidents. Got it.
Wink. Got it.
No, I'm not look at me i'm not winking winking the wink was for beer olympics he has weird wink was for beer there was no wink for you just winked i did not just wink i think i want to say it again i think we can all agree if hank gets into a small boating accident that'd be very funny no no i think it'd be a shame if i to laugh. It'd be a shame if you guys asked me to come out and I remember this conversation.
That would be a shame. That would be a good one.
Add it to the list. Add Hank.
We ask Hank to take us out on his boat and he remembers the shame list. That would be a shame.
For the record, I had nothing to do with the boat. Oh, look at it.
We're distancing ourselves. Okay, Hank, your hot seat.
My hot seat is Conor McGregor. Yeah.
There was supposed to be a scheduled press conference for UFC 303. That got postponed on Monday.
And then this is from a random MMA account, so some of these things might not be 100% true, but it says UFC is no longer being advertised on pay-per-view. UFC has privated the Conor McGregor free fight videos posted a few days ago.
McGregor and Dana White have been silent, and Michael Chandler is posting self-help quotes on Instagram. So it's not looking great for UFC 303, unless this is all a work.
So what is the speculation that McGregor has been injured?

Injured. A.K.A.

hungover. He's been hungover.

I don't know. I mean,

it's tough to see that video of him just

on a bunch of molly at the club

two weeks ago. Allegedly.

Yeah. Oh yeah, he could have

just been chilling. But

it's not looking good. No, it's not looking good.
I really wanted to see this fight. I'm very upset.
Also, Stephen A. Smith, that clip also went viral of him and Shannon Sharp talking on First Take.
Stephen A. Smith was like, Conor McGregor should not be going against a grappler.
And the UFC fans were very upset that Stephen A. Smith was breaking down.
He's trying to talk, talk, talk punch. Yeah.
You can't do that. Stephen.
I can't do that. You don't know fist.
You don't know. Uh, then my cool throne is the peaky fucking blinders.
All right. I like do the whole thing in your accent.
The peaky fucking blinders. Uh, let me press release tommy shelby returns a peaky blinders film starring cillian murphy is coming to netflix oh this is bad i got the peaky fucking blind spot it seems like tommy shelby wasn't finished with me it is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with stephen knight and tom hopper on the film version of peaky fucking blinders This one is for the fans Love that I'm excited for this So that was Cillian Murphy that said that? That was the official Netflix account Tweeted that I don't know who the quote is by I'm assuming the director Peaky Blinders was such a good show And with no spoilers Even though it's been out for a long time, I love the way they ended it.

I mean, there can't really be spoilers because there's a movie, but I just loved it.

I love that show.

I'm excited for this movie.

It's a great show.

It's also going to make me want to smoke all the cigarettes.

Yes.

Yes.

It's going to be a real shame if I start smoking again.

Real shame.

Real shame.

Real shame.

Real shame.

Real shame. When is it coming shame if I start smoking again.
Real shame. Real shame.
Real shame. Real shame.
Real shame.

When is it coming out?

I don't know.

Oh, you just gave us a bad accent and didn't give us any details?

It was a great show.

Everyone had Peaky Blinders films starring Cillian Murphy is coming to Netflix.

Oh, okay.

Netflix, great.

Important question.

I'm assuming that the answer is yes since it's on Netflix, but are we going get subtitles? I have to. Because you have to watch Peaky Blinders with subtitles.
Yeah. And it counts as reading a book every episode you see.
Yeah, bro. I watch everything with subtitles.
Everything. Sports? Not sports.
So I guess not everything. Comedy? Anything streaming.
Comedy is usually a stand-up? No. Oh, yes pornography yes subtitles yes oh fuck you're gonna make me come yeah yes yeah put it in there uh yeah no stand up you can't because it goes too fast so they'll say the punchline before sitcom i don't really care because it's not like the same punch of a punchline't do it with sitcoms.
Can't do it. Yeah, I need it.
I just get... I lose too much.
I realize that when I'm not using subtitles, I just zone out way too often. So you did tires with subtitles.
That one was actually timed up perfectly. It wasn't like the punchlines were coming too fast.
Okay. Yeah.
Tires was great, by the way. Go watch it.
Yeah. Yeah.
All the guys. All right.
My hot seat is actually vaping. Oh.
Vaping's on the hot seat. Did you see the picture of the golfer over the weekend? The female golfer? Yes.
Charlie Hull? Yes. So she went viral.
She was ripping a dart as she was signing autographs for kids, by the way, which is awesome. So she was smoking a cigarette, signing autographs.
Somebody took her picture and then reported that she is smoking cigarettes to help her quit vaping, which, respect, we've all been there. Okay.
Or some of us have been there. Yeah.
But then it went viral, and now she's like, yeah, I don't really see it. It's not that much of a big deal.
My father smokes 40 cigarettes a day, and he has for 25 years, and he's 75. And my brother, who's 25, also smokes 20 cigarettes a day.

She's European, though.

I feel like it's different rules.

Better tobacco?

I do think there's something to be said about genes.

They could just have genes that are just cigarettes don't bother them.

Yeah, so she actually sounds very healthy.

She's in shape.

She goes to the gym.

She doesn't drink, but she does smoke. I feel like that's just one of one.
Yeah. Nobody does that, but she does.
But she's trying to smoke so that she stops vaping. No, people that quit drinking, that's all they do.
Well, yeah, true. That's fair.
But they did drink at one point. I don't think anybody is like, you know what? I'm just going to smoke cigarettes and not drink at all as my lifestyle.
So she used to vape. She wanted to stop vaping.
And even though even though smoking is not better than vaping she says it's so you can vape indoors all the time so you do it more often so that's why she's smoking cigarettes that's a very fair point it's true when you vape you wake up in the morning what's the first thing you do hit the you hit the vape what's the last thing you do before you go to bed after you think you're already in bed oh you lean over you grab the vape the vape one last thing before i One last thing before I go to sleep. She's right about that.
Yeah, the act of having to go outside. Mm-hmm.
And she said, I thought if I smoke, I'm going to go outside and smoke a cigarette. When it's a slow round on the golf course, I smoke quite a few more than I should.
Smoking on the golf course, I think, is fine. Yep.
I think it rocks, in fact. But then she said, but listen, I will stop soon.
It's just when. She's not going to stop.
No, she's going to stop.

She said she's going to stop.

She said, yeah, she'll stop eventually.

She'll stop.

She'll stop eventually.

But I respect her.

Charlie Hull is my new favorite golfer.

Yep.

My cool throne is threesomes.

Threesomes are back.

Have you heard about this?

I have.

What happened?

It just reported that the city of New York has invented threesomes. Okay okay they call them menage a trois it's a new york term and they invented that term yep that does sound new york it's very new york so apparently uh people are having threesomes in new york it's a trend piece in the new york post oh and they're like guess what's hot this summer they're calling it the summer of threesomes so this new york post and this writer are the biggest loser of all time? It's because of the Zendaya movie.
It's because of Challengers. The tennis.
Tennis threesomes. Was that a guy, girl, guy? Guy, guy, girl.
Yeah, guy, girl, guy. Yeah, same thing.
Were you asking about their body positions? Like if you're capturing it? I literally just said guy, girl, guy. And you said said guy guy girl yeah so it's so it's it's guy guy girl is that what you were thinking egg eiffel tower eiffel tower is probably more likely right yeah but the guys in the middle there's it was it was guy guy girl no no got it but they're back yeah new y York Post is all over this.
I think they found like three of their friends that had threesomes recently. They're like, hey, would you like to read a New York Post article? Yeah.
Have you ever just lived on planet Earth where you're like, I'd love to have a threesome? Threesome. It was like Katie.
I think in the article, it was like Katie from Williamsburg said she just had her first one a couple weeks ago. Yeah.
That's not a real threesome person, though. Like they just got into into it because of the movie Do you think real orgy people are like Looking down their nose at the new threesome people And they're like you're just a Challengers fan You're not the actual lifestyle Like I'm about this shit I'll say it I wouldn't want to have a threesome It's a lot of work I just like double the disappointment No thank you It's a lot's a lot of work.
It's just, oh, okay.

I can have like, I would just be sitting on the sideline just being like, all right, I'm out very quickly.

And then what, what, and then they, they just, it's just lesbian sex.

Okay.

That's fine.

But like, it doesn't go how you think it goes in your head.

Wouldn't go how it went in real life.

What are you looking for?

Hank?

Someone stole my donuts.

Oh, someone stole your donuts. I said that I was, I was bringing them to the front desk.
I need them. For what? What's going on? I had to shoot a video for Kane's Donuts.
I brought them in here so that people wouldn't take them. I said that in front of this group.
We were just podcasting while they're just looking for donuts. I need my donuts.
You don't understand.

If I had said that, I would be killed for it.

Killed. It's for you.

I understand, but I'd be killed if the words

ever came out of my mouth. I need my donuts.

You do, though.

Okay, well, that's a different thing.

Hank, anything else you'd like to add to

threesome talk? No, I'm down.

Great publicity for Cain.

They literally were the girl in the guy girl threesome. They're getting glazed they're right in the middle glazed yeah yeah i just saw the donuts i was like those are gonna sit in here forever no i literally brought them in here for a purpose can you please get them thank you you know what though i think a threesome would be better than a foursome if it's a foursome where it's two guys two girls then that's just group i don don't know.
Tag team match? No, because then you're always like, that other guy's so much better than I am. That would suck.
That would be bad. That would fuck.
If it's two... What if it was tag team match? Tag team, yeah, just like close your eyes and...
Well, no, like I'm done. Tag.
Oh, yeah. You just get...
It's like a pitching rotation. Right.
You get a setup man, then a closer. Yeah, you do the finishing move.
I've already done my finishing move. We just rung the bell.
Yeah, that wouldn't be bad. But if it's a threesome, listen, you're disappointed two women.
I've disappointed multiple women in my life. Not to brag.
There's no way it would play out in my head. How it plays out in everyone's head in fantasy, the reality would just be awkward, me just sitting on the side.
I'd probably be getting dressed while they're still threesome-ing or i guess it'd be twosome-ing it's also just impossible to think about two girls being interested in that with you i think if i were like i can't yeah right yeah like on what planet would two girls be like you know what we should all do together yeah you have to like suspend belief when it's just one woman yeah it's like i want to see you naked want your naked body pressing against mine. And to tell me that there's two girls at the same time on planet Earth that want to do that to me? Something's fishy here.
Now that I'm saying it, I don't even think that you would be able to qualify me in a threesome. It would be a twosome featuring me.
You know, I'd have like a feature lyric. Yeah.
Or bar. Yeah.
Oh, is he on that song? Oh, okay, cool. You do the remix of it? Yeah.
They're doing their thing and then occasionally you get on top and smooch. Yeah, right.
Exactly. You're doing great.
Yeah. Had him on the head.
All right. My hot seat is, I got two of them.
First is San Diego Padres infielder, help me, Jake, Tukupita Marcano, who has been banned from baseball for gambling. And Marcano won only 4.3% of the 231 MLB-related bets he placed.
So I guess it's also a cool throne for me because I'm not the worst gambler. Was wild prop had to have been parlays had to have been crazy yeah lays crazy crazy yeah that's not so

if you're that bad at your bets though i feel like they should look the other way yeah ipe is uh uh

came out and he he's guilty or he's he admitted guilt um so they're not even gonna go to trial

this mlb said case closed case closed now you could say oh he's the fall guy, but I think he's up to like 33 years in jail. That's a lot of jail.
If he is a fall guy, I think he is the best fall guy of all time. Ever.
Ever. He committed like seppuku.
Fall guy, hall of fame. Yeah.
Yeah. The GOAT.
But yeah, 4.3% of his 231 MLB-related bets is insane. Hankank you're upset about the doughnut he's upset about someone ate the donut i was gonna use he's he's upset about the donuts way to go max not diva hank way to go max uh and then my other hot seat i wouldn't take his stuff out of the booth yeah that's true my other hot seat is this random guy, uh, best friend who I don't know if you guys saw

this.

It made me laugh last night when I was scrolling Twitter.

This guy, Mr. F.
Boyer wrote when I was 30, my best friend and I partied super hard and

had the sort of crazy nights you only fantasize about.

Now we're 46.

I'm married with kids.

He's still partying.

We hung out tonight and I assure you he's a loser.

Okay. What a fucking dickhead thing to put out there yeah that is bad friend yeah my best friend's a loser that's tough yeah who said that it was just some guy named f boyer i don't know it just made me laugh because it was just like then he he replied a million times to people being like you sound like a bad friend he's like i'm talking about him not evolving as a person.
It's like, no, dude, you just called him a loser. Yeah, that's a bad friend.
I thought for a second that was a euphemism you were using for somebody that we knew. No, no.
It's literally F Boyer. F Boyer.
This guy kind of sucks. Don't be friends with that guy.
No, bad dude. Bad dude.
Also, you already were a loser because you said the phrase, I partied super hard and had the sort of crazy nights you only fantasize about cool dude that means that while he was partying with you he he hated you yeah which we can tell now yeah uh and then my cool throne reverse of this because this guy sucks my cool throne is dudes because they rock we in the works of, and it's going to be a Barstool sports joint. PMT will be big behind it.
Jersey Jerry started it. Dude Fest.
So this happened last night. Our friend Jerry tweeted out, they should start an OnlyFans, but for guys, not sexual or gay.
Just like if you want to meet new guy friends to hang out, smoke cigars, watch sports, golf, etc. This tweet probably sounds really gay, and I'm not sure why I'm even tweeting it, but I have a hard time making friends.
It's a brave tweet by Jerry. Yeah.
What part of that translates to OnlyFans, though? Because it seems like he's talking about a Tinder, but just for dudes that want to hang out yeah if there was an only fans for guys it would be like you pay videos and you get like exclusive content of like a guy smoking a cigar yeah and like kicking his feet up on his couch i don't know i mean someone did point out that you could literally call that only fans so what jerry came up with that's true it's just be only sports fans yeah but uh vinnie j's lonely fans uh how about hear me out barstool chicago's dude fest 2024 and uh we're doing it we're gonna have dude fest where uh we are working on locations as we speak type of location uh joe's on weed has been thrown out there great place so bar yep well a big enough bar that we can have stage. So the idea, because I was thinking about it this morning, I want a stage, and we'll plan it out better than just like anyone can walk up.
But I want a stage where dudes can go up and they could show us their favorite puke video, their favorite wrestling video. Dudes could go up and show us a picture of the best brisket they've done.
Dudes could show up and do a couple of reps on the bench press. Dudes could walk up there and talk to us.
One guy said he wanted to do a five-minute seminar on the wing tee offense. Just dudes talking about dudes stuff and everyone being supportive and cheering for it.
We're also going to have the first uh random dudes uh random athlete spelling bee where i will have like 10 to 15 people and you have two seconds when you step into the mic and you have to name a random uh sports player and the the the ruling of it is going to be that person can never have won anything okay because like you can't he's naming guys you gotta name guys but it can't be a guy it can't be Kobe Bryant you know what I mean it has to be a name that you haven't thought of forever who didn't win any well never an all-star never won MVP never won a world series or a Super Bowl and it's gonna be dude fest and it's gonna fucking rock what do you guys think I think it should be Well, so we were thinking about it. We're thinking about maybe doing one in August, but I also think that the week or two after Super Bowl would be a perfect time for Dude Fest.
Not a lot going on. Like everyone's coming down, and it's just dudes supporting dudes.
I also have thought of this idea. There will be obviously tickets.
You buy a ticket. When you walk in the door, you get handed a $10 bet, and all the dudes are on the same bet.
That's a good idea. Yeah.
Yeah. So it will be baked in the price.
We're all on a random over. Right? Hardcore duty.
I want to maybe get a super strong guy to to come and just deadlift like a thousand pounds. Are there winners, losers? Nope.
Competition? Anyone who shows up to DudeFest is a winner. You're a winner.
Because you love dudes. Mm-hmm.
But again, not sexual. It's just dudes.
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. It's just like completely open.
You can say whatever you want as a man. Yeah.
We can just be dudes together. Just being dudes.
fart contest oh yes farting great idea that's on the list fart contest what about burping contest burping contest we're gonna do that's the prelim for the fart contest yeah wing eating contest yeah what if a female tries to show up to dude fest nope denied at the door denied at the door okay i just wanted to make sure that what hankank nothing what hank what are you saying we can't do it no no no no you want to talk about trans no you sounded like he wanted to talk about yeah you want to talk about trans i don't yeah i definitely don't you did you want to have this conversation definitely not want to have a heavy conversation i think this should be a it sounds like a festival like you the the things you just listed off well it's literally is like what gave it away dude fest well but if you do it at joe's what are you gonna have a three-day festival at joe's on weed no it's hank we have to you can't just like expect people to to do a three-day festival right off the jump we have to we have to do a proof of concept so like dude the dude fest 1.0 is not going to think about like uh elio's ice con it's kind of like that yes it'd be like an open mic for guys like open open gike yeah right and then when we that doesn't work but you understand what i'm saying when we when we build it bigger then maybe we'll build in like music but i don't even want i don't want like to have like a headliner band or something because I want dudes to just be able to be dudes because like what if you come to dude fest and it's a band you don't like no one doesn't dislikes a dude showing us a picture of the best steak he's cooked that dude rocks there should be like some sort of maybe everybody in there is in the musical group maybe there's like one minute and a half time slot where everyone just sings Mr. Brightside to the world.
No, we're going to do the... We'll do that.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, the whole fucking bar will do that. That's piff.
He cuts it last minute. Oh, Hank.
Oh, Hank. Oh, boy.
Hank's upset. Wow.
He's got a little angel recently. Wow.
He's got a little angel recently. He saw Max, Caitlin Clark get up on stage, crush it.
Add this to the list, Max. Yeah.
It would be a real shame if PFT kept asking me to do songs and cutting them moments before the show starts. It would be a real shame if Hank didn't get invited to Dude Fest because he's showing some un-dudes-like behavior right now.
We're just talking out. This is how the process works.
Some chick tendency. Yeah.
You're giving off chick right now. This is the process.
Yeah, you got too many feels for dudes. No, I literally, I feel like my entire existence is just trying to rein in some of Big Cat's bigger scale ideas when he's like, all right, we're going to have one night.
It's also not dude-like. A hundred things.
Very not dude-like. All right.
Sorry. Well, it's a hundred things, but it's like, it's going to also.
Every single person's going to go on stage. No, not every single person.
I think everyone has to apply for what they want to do. Correct.
And then we would put together a set list. Right.
Correct. I thought was when I heard all that was like, it's like a festival where there's different stages with different things going on.
You can walk around. That will be where we will get to.
Got it. Yes, year five of Dude Fest, there will be an entire tent where it will just be Stone Cold Steve Austin highlights on loop.
You can just go in there and watch it with your dudes. It'll be like what South by Southwest turned into, where it's a week-long event and you've got lanyards and you can go to the dude seminars that they're giving.
Yeah, right. There'll be a tent where it's a week-long event and you've got like lanyards and you can go to like the dude seminars yeah giving yeah right there'll be a tent where it's just dingers steve adazio steve adazio we'd love for you to kick off dude fest keynote speaker yep be a dude the harbaugh's will be involved in some capacity whether that be just a video he sends me or both of them send me by the way did you see the harbaugh's have a football camp now coaching camp i didn't see that no i saw i saw his golf tournament we need to get involved with the harbaugh football camp because we actually this is this may sound crazy because i it's going to be football coaches and they're going to teach them football but i think we could lend our hand in in media training yeah 100 we could i we just had all the coaches go through the toughest questions we could ask them yeah and just teach them how to say it starts with me yeah i need to took i i gotta take a long look in the mirror because it starts and it ends with me yeah all right so hank's out on dude fest i love the idea yeah i mean i i it took me a while to really understand what the what the boundaries were for people that are presenting at dude fest yeah it's just kind of anything that's cool yeah we're yeah exactly we're gonna have yeah like um if anyone will have a portion maybe a 10 minute portion where dudes will will just come up and show the biggest fish they caught yeah it's good like that's gonna be awesome even bring you built.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, we'll have a whole picture time.

It's going to rock.

Talk about your car.

I know Max is in.

Max fucking loves DudeFest.

Get up there and just tell me all the stuff you've done to your car.

Don't even show pictures.

We should have someone just go up and teach us about cars.

Yeah.

Five minutes.

Here's where the gas goes in.

Yeah.

The spelling bee of random athletes is going to be electric.

So there's no spelling involved in that? Okay. So I get up there i say steve bedrosian yeah and then i have two seconds and i have to come up with someone and i say oh fred mcgriff and yep he's too accomplished and he's like nope you're out so how will we verify we'll have we'll have the scripts people there there'll be a thing bailey yeah yeah they'll be there they'll be there they'll do their fucking nerdy voice.
We'll have the Scripps people there. There'll be a thing, Dr.
Bailey.

Yeah, yeah, they'll be there.

They'll be there.

They'll do their fucking nerdy voice.

We'll have to have them behind the curtain because that guy's not a dude.

Dr. Bailey?

Yeah, Dr. Bailey.

No doctors allowed.

No doctors allowed at DudeFest.

Chiropractors.

We should maybe have a portion of dudes with ailments that come up

and they just ask the whole audience what they think is wrong. All right.
Has anybody here ever had this? Yeah. I've got a fucking rash on my shoulder.
Can any dude help me? I'll just show my toe. What's going on? Does this? Yeah.
That's an entire segment. Does this look infected? Yes.
Yes. That's dude fest.
We're helping each other out. Do you think I should see someone about this? Yeah.
Anyone know what's going on with my tooth? Dudes will just shout it out. So Dude Fest is going to happen.
I've already put the wheels in motion. There's been some big steps taken, which Hank probably hates right now.
But I'm in. Get excited.
Cool thrown dudes. All right, Jake.
My hot seat's the hot seats the french open big cat i'm gonna side with you on this one because novak had to retire or withdraw due to injury and he blamed the court surface because of the rain he asked them to wipe it multiple times and they did not approve of that's fucking bullshit oh he slipped way too many times he said could this injury have been prevented possibly if there was just a little bit more frequent care of the court during the set that's basically all i asked for oh so now that's that sounds like that sounds like rafa's guys doing rafa's out yeah no i'm saying they want to keep rafa's whole legacy and everything oh yeah so joker had to withdraw what happened to him what's the actual meniscus? Oh, he tore his meniscus? You're never the same athlete after that. Oh, don't say that.
BFT. Never.
Yeah. Meniscus is really bad.
He tore it? Due to a medial. Medial? Medieval.
Medial meniscus tear in my right knee. Yeah, that's bad.
We'll see if he's back for Wimbledon. No, he won't be.
He'll never be. After you have a meniscus, you're never the same athlete you were.
I love how hard memes last. Yeah.
He's taken on the entire court system. Literal court system.
Love that. Yeah.
My cool throne is J.J. Redick.
Oh. We have a report from Shams that the Lakers are zeroing in as Redick as the front runner

for the head coaching position.

We knew this.

But this is now out there.

Yeah, we called it.

Out there, out there.

We called it.

We called it.

And then is he saying also LeBron to Cleveland?

Mm-hmm.

No.

Not at the moment.

Connect the dots.

I'm excited to see how that pans out. Yeah.
I want to see them continue doing their podcast as coach and player. Yep.
Getting drunk together, tricking that vino. I feel bad for JJ when either LeBron leaves or LeBron blames JJ because that's kind of the only two outcomes.
I think you have to practice that in your interview for the Lakers. Like, how would you react if LeBron said, we have to get better on coaching? Yeah.
What's your reaction to that? Do you say LeBron's right? Do you say he's right? I stink? Are you hard on yourself? I think the only way to get in front of LeBron doing that is you have to be more hard on yourself than LeBron could ever be. Yes.
Right off the bat. I do think J.J.
would be a good coach.

Russillo who

writer, podcaster, go

listen to the Ryan Russillo show

also male model? Yeah

yeah Ryan you look good

I felt good

were you doing that as a joke? No

okay

somebody asked me to model and

I said yes as I get older

I just want to get outside of the comfort zone

and you know it's just classic

Thank you. No.
Okay. Somebody asked me to model and I said, yes.
As I get older, I just want to get outside of the comfort zone. And it's just classic.
Guys are just not secure enough. So of course, the hate rolls in and it hurt.
There was a couple of dark days where I was kind of sitting around being like, maybe this isn't for me. Maybe I haven't built up the scar tissue that I thought I had built up over 20 plus years of sharing sports takes and being called a dickhead all the time.
But this world is entirely different. And I don't know.
I know that I'm built different, but I don't know if I'm built differently. Yeah.
Yeah. So you had a good look on your face in that pose.
I don't know what your motivation was for the camera. What did you like about it? I thought it was something I hadn't seen out of you before.
You had like a little high school bully, but also like maybe a high school bully who's into poetry yeah wrong side of tracks kid yeah don't fuck with him bad boy we gave off bad boy vibes yeah but oh oh man if you he's actually really well read yeah did you like the cement background yeah that was cool it was really cool it was it was perfectly set up so that you could get memed forever for it yeah it made me feel like you were uh yeah you were like a high school bully dumb jock but also you have a boondock saints poster on your wall so you're into the fine art of cinema as well yeah maybe maybe bob marley have you ever seen overnight the boondock saints documentary about the creator behind it have you seen it i've heard and I've heard how crazy, batshit, insane it gets, but I have not seen it myself. It is so good I bought it.
And I hadn't watched it in, I don't know, I think it came out maybe a little less than 20 years ago. It's incredible, and it's kind of the blueprint for what you're not supposed to do when you show up to Hollywood and somebody likes your script.
So, look, they still got it made, and he's done. He did far more in like 12 months than most people could ever dream of doing but it's like the best documentary

i wonder what he's like when he goes back but yeah to the the modeling shoot there's actually

footage from it that we haven't released yet we're kind of seeing how it goes the hoodies did sell

out in just over an hour yes so we're thrilled about that legends was obviously happy i mean

legends i'm not traditionally like i'm not like a lot of their models. I think we would all agree on that.
Have you not got any other calls? Well, I haven't put it in my Instagram bio yet, and that's probably part of the problem because I have minor league baseball player in there because I just think a lot of guys do, and I don't know what the standard is for saying, oh, I think I have professional baseball player because I think you can actually just say it. Yeah.
So I have that. And then I've got to update it and put model.
And I imagine the collab offers will just come rolling in. Yeah.
The key for minor league baseball player, you can't write minor league baseball player. You got to just like do the at to the team that you played for because then people click it be like oh shit he played ball because it'd be like you know some random it'll be like the crawdaddies you're like what the hell is that oh but if you still got paid you could be independent league baseball and it's still i mean there's nothing funnier than playing like a pickup hoops and somebody would be really good and be like oh hey did you play somewhere like i played some semi-pro and you're like what what is that what actually is that yeah there is what there's you know we used to have the cba there's the g league and then there's another league in the nba and maybe you're overseas somewhere but like what's american semi like what is it actually just more organization for men's league yeah i think if you just if you get paid like a hundred dollars if you ever get paid to play basketball yeah i played i played on tbt i was on a roster i recorded a stat i think i might be it's not professional yeah but it's it's it's semi there was a there was a payment for it there was a million bucks for the winner so sounds like somebody needs to update their bio yeah yeah i do so i'm looking at this you want to know you want to know something funny though on the picture i actually did have like seven or eight dms asking if i wanted to collab after that oh hell yes which is just awesome are you gonna do it uh what about for us what about for part of my take next next hoodie we put out can we get you to model it for us oh that'd be big can i wear short shorts yes we it's actually a must yeah actually we should just sell shorts we should actually just we'll have quigs just make them shorter and shorter and shorter yeah how did you decide which letters to take out of rusillo because it's r s l o you said okay i don't want two s's don't want two l's and then uh some of the vowels let's use a strong letter it is it's it's a great observation.
That was the graphic design team. I didn't really have a ton to do with that.
There were some times we were looking at like different logos and then you realize you're kind of just like, what can you really do with an R that hasn't been done before? And maybe, you know, somebody out there is a little bit more creative than I am on it. Actually, I know that there is.
So so you know what's really embarrassing you want to hear something super embarrassing about the rslo line yeah so a bunch of guys in the manhattan beach area hit me up every now and then be like hey can i get some legends gear and i'll just go like yeah no problem you know a lot of times it'll be like some of the former athletes or whatever and i'll just call up one of the guys at legends and i go like hey can, can you send this guy a package? Like, you know, good guy, whatever.

Like, get the word out about the product.

And then when they did those hoodies and they did some shorts,

they did like just a few runs of the shorts,

but they gave them to me so I could, you know,

give them to my brothers or whatever.

And a couple of retired hockey players, this is so embarrassing.

I was like, do you want any of the ones that say Russillo?

Did they take them? And the two guys were like emphatically, no, I don't want those. And I thought, yeah, if I'm a pro athlete, I don't know that I want some podcaster's name on the hoodie that I want definitely without his name on it.
And as soon as I hit send, I was like, why did you ask this stupid fucking question? You already know the know the answer. And it was so embarrassing.
Like, especially one answer where the guy specifically was like, I definitely don't want those, man. But thanks.
So when you're workshopping it, you didn't have any other iterations of the Rosillo name? Like, maybe just, you know, go for the heart of it and just go SS? I knew it would get there somehow. No, we didn't.
We didn't do that. Okay, that was smart.
That was smart what about what about l just a big l just a big l or just how about this we do the pmt rusilla collaboration and we do a brand new brand for you it's just called hard r as for for jacked up dudes yeah that's all on the table but man, when you model, I mean, you guys don't know this.

No, we do. We've modeled many things.
We actually have a billboard where we're naked. The fascinating part of it is like no one's legs are big enough for the internet.
No one's legs are big enough. I have great legs.
Lizzo. PFT, you've got teardrops.
You've got like multiple teardrops just dangling off those quads. And I've seen your legs.
But for whatever reason, people expect anybody to work out to just have Tom Platt's size quads,

just to be like,

what's,

what's,

what's the beam on those things.

It's your legs are just never big enough for the internet.

I've learned.

It's good that he's,

he's noted your legs.

Yeah,

I know.

Well,

Ryan's Ryan's always checking out.

Yeah.

I was going to ask that off that.

When was the last time you met a dude and you weren't like thinking in the back of your head, can I take him in a fight? Oh, I don't know. Long ass time.
Somebody really old. That's what I like about you.
You size up a guy. You know your environment.
Yeah. I'm constantly advanced scouting.
I'm advanced scouting life. Yeah.
And technically, an old dude, you're still doing it because you're like, I don't have to do it. So you said it in your head like not even a problem yeah you got me there yeah you got me there yeah there's no there's no way around it like seeing jerry west like take a seat and you're like i don't care about his length yeah just pull the table on pull the chair on him all right so let's get an nba real real quick though before we do that just just to add to it because i know you love when i do this, when I'm wearing the hoodie with the RSLO in like an elevator or something in a hotel, and that's where you're supposed to say the right one, PFT.
But I'll be wearing it. It's a gray hoodie.
And then somebody will be like, hey, what brand is that? And when I have to explain that it's my name on it, it's just like this that's this weird yeah like what dude you made your own hoodies it's like well it's a little more complicated than that but thanks for your disprovo that's like telling anyone that you have a podcast because i've been back into that game with like meeting uh like my kids like the parents like in the schools and stuff and i've had to do that a couple times and you just can't there's no way to say i have a podcast without becoming sounding like the biggest loser of all time because people just assume when you say oh i have a podcast you have like a side podcast that no one's listening to and i'm just like i i do make a living off of it like i have to follow up with that it's like all right okay cool like i didn't ask it's it is easily the least impressive way to introduce yourself now now in society. Like I don't even know what to do.
I don't know what the workaround is. Cause you constantly feel like at a certain level, you have to kind of explain it and be like, no, this like things are going pretty good.
And like, I have a car thing that I'm dealing with. It's kind of frustrating.
And the brand of the car that I've had three times now, they've reached out to our sales team to be like, does he drive our car? And they were like, yeah, he loves it. And be like, does he want to read ads? And I was like, yeah, but I'm also kind of dealing with some conflict with the dealership on the trade-in that I'm not too thrilled about.
And then I try to explain it to the sales guy without being like, do you know who i am and he's just like what he wanted to check with a supervisor yeah like well this guy's an idiot what what are we doing yeah what does this mean and i'm like no it's actually it does okay and no one it you said this years ago there needs to be like a different tier right that you're allowed to say like almost a blue check mark for that introduction if that's your profession. Yeah, it's a podcast, but not a weirdo.
Yeah, and it pays well. Yeah, and by the way, it's Range Rover for anyone wondering.
He drives a Range. No big deal.
No big deal. Land or Range? Range.
I think Land Rover is the brand. Proper term? Oh, yeah.
But you drive a Range Rover, right? I don't know. I haven't done the Reeds yet.
We don't know what's in the Reeds. That's true.
Range Rover Sport guy? Sport. I remember when I went to get my first one in Connecticut, they were like, so your co-host drives a tall guy.
He drives a Sport? All right. NBA preview for playoffs.
We kind of delayed this one. Who do you think is going to win it? I like uh i'm scared to death of luca and what he's been able to do and considering who they've gone through in the west i thought minnesota was gonna beat him i thought oklahoma city was gonna beat him i thought kawaii if he was healthy i don't know that i've ever picked against a team four straight times and they won the title i picked against miami every single time last year and then it was easy to pick against them in denver and and it played out the way I thought it would play out because it just was an incredible Miami story.
So there's that haunting thought here. But the one thing that I kept coming back to in all the prep that you do or whatever and watching all these games and being into it is that I feel like Boston has the two versus the one.
And what I mean by that is depending on which night you got with the Clippers, I don't know that you really felt like you were getting consistent dose of a one and two with Paul George and Harden. And against Oklahoma City after SGA, where they actually made it hard on him and he was still spectacular.
I feel even better about SGA as a player now, beyond just the

regular season, the MVP voting, like going into next year, it's like, okay, I don't think there's any debate about who he is as a guy, as opposed to just one amazing year. But the secondary scores were not there for them.
They weren't able to provide the spacing. This is a number one three point shooting team in the league.
And I think they shot 32% in that series against Dallas and Jalen Williams. As a younger player, a lot of times it's just, they're not quite ready.
It's actually pretty normal. And it doesn't mean that Jalen Williams is going to be as good as we think he's going to be.
And then when you look at Minnesota, whether they had Rudy on the floor or Rudy and the Kyle lineups or just ignoring Cap with all the open looks that he kept missing, I felt like they only really had to worry about one score at all times. That was Anthony Edwards.
And he did not answer the bell the way we hoped he would. And when you look at Boston, their primary lineup with Brzingis back is going to be five people that you have to worry about, specifically two attackers with size that have been through a ton of these playoff wars already.
So I think the defensive challenge is quite Dallas statistically proving out they've been the best defensive team a few weeks after the trade deadline. What they've done against these really good teams in the West, I feel like the defensive challenge is entirely different based on the lineups, the talent, and the spacing that Porzingis is going to provide.
Yeah. Who do you think is the most important player for the Celtics this series? I've got a name.
Well, it's easy to just say Tatum. And I probably like, if you tell me who, hey, Tatum has to be the guy.
And unfortunately, he kind of lives in this fifth best to like eighth best player thing, which is always kind of frustrating for that fan base because you kind of want him to morph into one of those top four guys. And I don't know that he's ever going to do that.
That's the way he'll be talked about if he has a big series, wins finals MVP, and the Celtics pull it off. But Porzingis really does feel like the most important player, but it's asking a lot of somebody who have not played competitive basketball for a month.
I know he's scrimmaged and everything, and he's been a full participant. But to go a month plus and be like, okay, now run out there in the NBA finals, I wonder if he'll look bad in the first game and Dallas wins big in the first one, but that's not really how the series plays out.
I think a lot of times game one can be the most misleading game, how the rest of the series goes, but Przingis stretching the floor and pulling away these bigs, whether it's Lively or Gafford or Dallas could get really creative with how they want to match up with personnel. They also, in that March 1st game when they played each other, they ran out of Porzingis-Horford lineup in that as well.
And Horford can certainly stretch the floor too. We saw him shoot some big threes.
So Porzingis could still miss shots or whatever and then the Celtics win the series. But I think matchup-wise, changing what Dallas has done and making their bigs do something they haven't done before, not that they're incapable of doing it, but pulling that rim protection away, he feels the most important for me.
Yeah, all right. So I think you touched on this on one of the pods.
Wait, did PFT have a name, though? Oh, yeah. Sorry, sorry.
What's your name? It's an old interview trick. You just say that you already know the answer, but you want to hear what the other person has to say.
Then what is your name? What is their answer? I was going to say Porzingis, obviously. Yeah.
I was going to say Derek White. No, I was actually going to say perzingis obviously yeah i was going to say derrick white no i was actually going to say drew holiday well drew is who's he going to cover uh well when i looked at the march 1st matchup jalen starts on luka but it doesn't end with jalen brown on luka a lot they run that double screen up top for him you can can't just double Luca blindly.
Like there was a play against Minnesota I brought up a few times where it was hilarious where I think it was after a stoppage and Minnesota decided, okay, we're just going to trap Luca here on the screen. And Luca brought Gafford up, I believe, to set the screen and he didn't even let him set the screen and never even got that far.
And here come Minnesota's defenders like, all right, we're going to trap him. We're going to trap him.
And Luka just smiles and throws the ball off to Kyrie, who then hits, I think, PJ in the corner for a wide open three. And it was all set up by Luka being like, I'm not even going to let you do the thing that you just designed to do against me to change up the coverage.
So with Luka, it's going to be Tatum. It's going to be Jalen.
The Drew part of it, he's stout on the perimeter, but you could see some of the plays in the second matchup that I've referenced here that if he gets Luke if he gets Drew deep if he gets anybody deep that's not tall enough to contest it's over I mean Luke is still going to have is probably 30 10 and 10 every single night it's really up to Kyrie consistently being more like he was against Minnesota than OKC and then then is PJ Washington going to be Ray Allen or Steve Allen? Yeah. That's good.
That's good. A little throwback there.
Nice. Our audience will understand that reference.
What was he last on TV that Steve Allen? 1994? He was on, was it the Pyramid? Yeah. Yeah, it was.
What about the back and forth that's been going on regarding Perzingis and Luca, that they might not actually like each other, might be some beef there. I think Chandler Parsons put that out there, said actual beef.
And then Luca said, I've probably talked to Chandler Parsons twice in my life. He didn't so much deny what Chandler Parsons said, just completely eviscerated him as somebody who's completely on the outside of the situation but I've I've heard that too I've heard that that Porzingis and and Donchich didn't get along well yeah because it's true I've heard it for a lot I've never talked to Luca once in my life but it doesn't mean you have to talk to the person to then know that it's true and Luca's interesting in that I don't know I don't know enough about the story to go hey this is who's at fault and this is why this is wrong and this guy but uh I had heard it like when Perzingis got down there they're like not super into it but I I don't know that like Grant Williams didn't exactly love it either although I think how has no one done the Grant Williams interview yet I mean this is this has to be like the major thing the get you guys should be getting him I know I'm not sure we can even pull it off our little pop-up shop but I I don't know that it matters like what is what what's actually going to happen I mean Luke is going to yell at everyone including kids so he's just gonna he's gonna once he steps in between the lines he's an unhinged individual which i'd probably rather have that than somebody who's unsure of themselves yeah i love it i would too i love it i hope he yells at deuce tatum that would rock oh he's like deuce could get it deuce could get it this series yeah no it's like like dave dave actually put it perfectly i did the rundown yesterday he's like i hate kairi so much I think there's a very good chance I come out of this series hating Luka so much more.
And I think that's what most Celtics fans are going to have to deal with. Because if you watch Luka, if you play against Luka, there's just something about him that makes you so angry.
That's what I kind of love about the way the playoffs play out on social media. Because you'll go, oh, like now you're watching and let's face it there's a million games on I don't expect most people to be watching all this stuff I remember like Harden being in the playoffs and people going wait they're just gonna run this thing over and over and over again for two and a half hours like he's just gonna be up top with the ball and it actually kind of works a lot too like nobody going to move around or anything it's like yeah dude this is what they do they've been doing it all year long Luca is a tough watch with the complaining yeah it felt like it got dialed down a little bit against Minnesota it's maybe because they were just totally in control and it wasn't Lou Dort's body just all over Luca I mean the crazy thing about Lou Dort is I think Lou Dort's the best defender for Luca in the NBA.
And then you look at the final numbers and be like, I thought this guy was an awesome defender. And you're like, that's not really what it is.
Can I make your 30, 10 and 10 really hard on you and wear you down physically? Where I thought Luca had moments in that series where I'm like, I don't even know if he's going to be able to be healthy enough the rest of the way. He's actually looked better and better.
And now with the time off between the end of the Western Conference Finals and the Finals, he should look great. But yes, Celtics fans that are really watching Luka for the first time, if he's the way he normally is, you're going to hate him because he's going to be killing you in moments.
He's going to hit big shots. They're going to win some of these games.
But he is nonce. I don't think he can actually help himself.
It's not an excuse, but I think he's going to hit big shots they're going to win some of these games but he is nonce i don't think he can actually help himself it's not an excuse but i think he's one of those guys that is just an absolute spaz in your friend group and you're like and he doesn't even realize he's doing yeah it's like it's like hank when we golf with cameras on like he's good when there's no cameras on and then he can't help it when there's cameras i own that video by the way let him know if you see him oh yeah you got he's sitting right here you can get that he'll get that video by the way anyone who's playing after this what'd you say i'll follow up after this yeah hit me hit me up today uh anyone who's playing russillo bingo at home uh he was able to work in uh some james harden hate out of nowhere so just check that one off i thought that was nice i thought that was actually kind of nice for me i don't know how we steered the ship to oh and by the way james harden he sucks uh because here in the ship how's your boat doing oh don't ask uh well we're in a transactional phase yeah you're about to have the second best day of owning a boat you're selling the boat yeah i am unfortunately i have to sell it what's that like what's the process selling you put an ad in the newspaper meet meet a couple guys down at the docks maybe throwing a free hoodie well it's a bigger boat so i'm not meeting anybody yeah oh you got a guy phone calls yeah a representative yeah yeah i get i get calls you should make that guy the representative of your boat should have to wear a rusillo hoodie every time he takes a meeting yeah because we wanted to paint over because the boat's name is ohana which means family which i thought was just too good i think that's what it means can you get one of your tech guys to double check because i was like all right ohana i'm not sure about this and then they were like yeah it means family or community or something like that ohana is a hawaiian term meaning family you nailed it Yeah. Yeah.
Lilo and Stitch. once i knew that that's what it was i was like perfect this is great like it was like one time i think i was at marshall's buying socks because they're cheaper there gang and they are there was some art that said something like the thing i love about my home is who i share it with so i bought it and hung it up in my house in connecticut that's awesome if you had If you had a new visitor, they'd be like, wait, what the fuck is going on? And so, yeah, the boat thing, I was debating a chapter in my book.
The editors were like, I don't think that's going to speak to as large of an audience as you need for a boat ownership chapter. But when I bought it originally, I was told if I put it in the charter that I was going to recoup a lot of the money back.
And I already knew it was bullshit when it was happening. And I think I even said that in the negotiation.
I go, I don't really know that I believe you or the numbers that you projected and how much it's going to offset. But this is a learning experience.
And if I can offset any of the costs, then we'll try this and we'll see what happens. And the projections and then the revenue, I don't even know if we hit 10% of the projections.
And then I found out I was paying three times as much for my charter insurance, twice as much for my slip. And then a thousand bucks a month for charter cleaning that wasn't actually happening.
And I noticed it wasn't happening. So I left some smudges on the inside of the boat, knowing that I was leaving the country.
And that was like, if I come back in a month and those smudges are still there, then I'll be like, all right, so I just paid a thousand bucks for another monthly cleaning. So we moved the boat to a different marina, learned how much more I was paying that was absurd versus not even bringing in any money in.
I think we went six months without a dollar. And I was like, what's going on? And they're like, oh, the weather's been tough.
I'm like, zero? Like, zero dollars for six months weather?

Like, there were no tsunamis, I believe, in the area.

So, yeah, we're in the transactional phase.

I haven't retired from the boating community.

My license is for life.

That was a, sir, the question was, how's your boat?

Yeah.

No, he just did the audio book.

He did the audio book chapter on the boat that got cut.

See, I was kind of soft pitching it.

Maybe the editors are right.

Hank just got his boating license.

He might be in the market for a boat.

He'd be your captain.

Hank, just move back to Boston because I need somebody.

What I really need to do is going on something in the seaport,

but I already looked into it a little bit.

You're already looking for your next boat? You haven't sold your first one. Well, I looked into it.
There was like some boat membership thing that I was like, how's this working? Yeah, Hank's part of it. Hank's part of it.
That's what I'm doing. Yeah.
No maintenance. No maintenance.
Pitch me on it. You don't own the boat, but you own a subscription essentially to multiple boats.
It's like a maritime ship. Yeah, you can rent boats.
You have an app. You just reserve the boat you want.
They got pontoons. They got center console boats you walk up the it's fueled up you don't have to you know do anything and then when you're done you just drop it off they tie it up for you you get off and that's it you need friends for a pontoon though i mean i me taking out the oh solo pontoon is so depressing oh my god oh my god i have love i love going out on the boat solo.
I love it, and I don't care just because I like driving the boat, but I'm into it. But a pontoon by yourself, it's like a whole other level.
It's like, what is he trying to do there? So I don't know. And the other thing, I think the one Hank is talking about, I think the longest boat you can get is like a 27-foot center console, and they told me I can't ever take it out overnight.
I have to be back by sunset, all this stuff. I'm like, I'm not used to these restrictions.
Chicago's the only city where you can take it out at night. At night? I'm sure that's going to go really well for Hank.
I will say that I've spent a lot of time on boats, never in charge of them. And going through that process has been a little bit, a lot of responsibility.
You're going to be captain, Hank. Yeah.
He is. What are you licensed up to? I got a Florida license.
I don't really know what that means, but they said that was the easiest one to get. That's safe.
I'm excited to be on this boat with you. Ryan, basketball question.
If the Dallas Mavericks were a boat, which part of the boat would each player be? Oh wow uh well i think luke is a couple twin volvo penta diesel engines nice right because you just everybody knows everything runs better on diesel so there's that um i think pj would be the swim platform oh where you, hey, do you want to lower the swim platform? Be like, that's fucking awesome. And be like, do you want to raise it back up? And be like, yeah, we could do that too.
And then there's times you're like, oh, that's right. We haven't used a swim platform in like six months.
But man, was it awesome when I was thinking about buying it. Oh, shit.
The swim platform made another huge three from the corner.

We forgot he was in the game.

Yeah, I think that's good.

Everyone laughed when I got a swim platform.

Everyone wanted me to get something way cooler and splasher.

And I said, no, you're going to like that swim platform.

It's going to work well with the boat.

Yeah, and then everyone walks around being like,

how the hell did you get that swim platform?

I didn't know that was on the market.

I think Lively's the fenders.

Okay.

Because there's just protection around the rim that's good that's good kairi the steering wheel yeah uh derrick jones you passed over kairi pretty quickly there no i'm waiting i'm saving i'm saving okay because i want to get it right i think derrick jones be the dock mate. If you have some kind of remote for a bigger boat to be able to dock going in reverse, especially if you're by yourself, I have a dock mate where it's like, you don't always have to use it.
This feels a bit like a PJ thing, but man, people love seeing me pull in a remote control. They're like, you could just do that from the back.
You can just do that on your own, remote and that's like a derrick jones dunk where you're like holy shit i almost forgot how amazing this guy is at dunking you don't need it you don't necessarily need it but people love to see it and when i bring out the little remote they're like how does that work like hey check it out whole thing's ready to go is kairi the tender what's that you don't know what a tender is i don't know what a tender is? I don't know what a tender is either. Come on, Hank, fill this guy in.
Hank, what's the tender? You know the tender. Oh, Hank, I don't know.
You don't know what tender? I'm going to get back in school, buddy. Max, what's the tender? Yeah, they don't need it for Florida waters.
Yeah, that's why Florida left that part of the test. It's the Dory, dude.
Tender boat. That's a type of.
Well, look, the tender is that if you have a big enough boat, a tender is like the raft or the little 15-foot thing that you drop down. So if you're on a mooring.
You want to sound cool. It's a lifeboat? No, no.
It's not a lifeboat. It's another boat that takes you to your boat? Right.
Right. So if you can't pull into a slip or you can't be in a marina, there's nowhere safe.
I'm surprised you haven't read Wide Wide Sea yet by Hampton Sides. I have not.
But if you, I mean, these guys in these big boats back in the day, I mean, they get too close to land, but then they'd have to spend forever trying to figure out where they could actually anchor properly, and then they would take their boats boats in so the tender is um it can really connect you to life but if you don't have it you can feel as if you're on your own and and maybe you can't understand the terrain well enough yeah so that's kind of kairi you're looking at the terrain you're like this looks like it's a round sphere but then you have the tender and it's like actually it's all flat yeah because it's smaller and their perspectives are all different yeah yeah you're not actually you're you're not navigating you're just short short tripping if you're on a big boat and you get to the dock you you think that you're there but you're not ever actually there until you can get into the tender and actually arrive dock yes but mooring no so the tender the tender connects you to life and exploration but it's certainly not the most important part of the voyage yeah this is good that was very informative very informative very informative uh ryan not to throw one at you here but you're good on your feet if luca wins the title here would he be a top seven uh title run by a single player uh let me think just off the top of your head yeah single player well it depends on what you

think of kairi and true the longest time i think kairi's value was well he he diminished it as

much as anybody else ever did in your eyes yeah i i don't have any time for people to be like, hey, you know. It's like, wait, what? Like, we're all supposed to act like it was awesome the whole time all of these years? Because he made some shots? Like, give me a break.
So he's actually, in a weird way, Kyrie, if they were to win this whole thing and then everything that happens, it's like he never really had to be a number one and he's going to be praised as somebody as if he was misunderstood and somehow undervalued. I think anybody that's a basketball fan appreciates how incredibly skilled he is.
But when people start coming at you with like he's the most talented player of all time, it's like, okay, so then you're admitting that he's one of the most disappointing players ever. Yeah, true.
Good point. Right? Good point.
So, like, if you're the best who have ever done this thing that we've seen thousands of players showcase their skills, and he's better than every single one of them, and this is what his career has been to this point. But we all know that winning cures all these things, that winning actually completely distorts to, I think, comical ways, the way we'll talk about these accomplishments right after they happen.
Like, we cannot help ourselves right after something happens. And if Kyrie to win this title, it's going to like be some really like weird referendums on what we should have been doing while all the bad stuff was happening, not for just one season, but for multiple seasons of the guy that looked like he didn't really care about playing basketball anymore.
So as far as Luca and what this will mean as a single person, it's probably still not as good as Dirks if you want to keep it with the Mavs, because that team was, that team was fascinating. And remember Cuban was like, okay, great.
We want a title. We finally did it.
This is awesome, but we're really not this good. So I'm not going to resign everybody.
Yeah. So that's kind of a one-man thing.

I mean, Wade still had a diminished version of Shaq,

but he had Shaq, and Wade was so incredible in that one run.

But that team isn't historically like one of these great all-time teams.

Pretty quickly after that, they were completely off the map for that one.

Are there other ones that you're thinking of here?

Kawhi with Toronto? yeah bill walton uh i always feel like the 19 one the 19 toronto thing it's like good for them but let's also be realistic about what happened at golden state there so yeah true good point that one feels a little different i mean if tatum and brown went down in the finals and then luca wins a title we're not going to look at that title the same way yeah so you so i think you're saying he might be we might have a chance for top seven right around seven he goes crazy do you even know the other six bill walton bill walton mj 91 um i'm with you on the mj stuff because i felt like the the MJ doc started telling a story of Pippen that wasn't accurate for how it actually went down. Like Pippen, I know he had the MVP voting year that was really impressive, but I mean, you tell me.
It's your favorite team. I don't think Pippen was ever really talked about as being one of the four or five best players in the league consecutive seasons, the way it felt like the last dance kind of told that story.
I thought those are two different things. He's like an all-time player, but you're never like, that's the best player.
Yeah, like you said, the best player on the team. Can he run his own team? I know obviously they got to the close, but then you saw what happened.
I mean, there's a couple that would come to mind if they did win in the finals. The Jason Kidd Nets would be probably top three.
Allen Iverson Sixers, if they had won that, that's probably number one. That was a crazy playoffs.
I guess you could throw a Kobe in there. Late Kobe.
Which Kobe, though? 09? Yeah, late Kobe. But Powell got there in 08.
It turned everything around. If Powell doesn't show up, I don't even know if Kobe has the last two rings.
Maybe something else happens. The Iverson one, sure, but the East stunk.
The East would go back and look at that East. It was awful.
Yeah. I think we're talking ourselves into it.
So who else we got? So Luka could be it. Well, it's none of the Warriors teams.
It's none of the LeBron teams. What is Hank? Because they're just stacked.
What's that face? It's not the Celtics. It's not the Celtics in 08.
What about LeBron when he beat the Warriors? Well, then you have Kyrie. Yeah.
Yeah, it's true. It's true.
But also, so does Luka. Yeah.
A later version of Kyrie. What about any Bird or Magic years? No, those teams are stacked.
Yeah. All right.
So, yeah. Spurs, because he's got Kawhi the second time through.
All the other years is Parker, Ginobili. I think we just made a top seven.
Giannis? Yeah, Giannis is a good one. 50-point game.
But now we're just kind of naming players. Kawhi and the Raptors.
I said Kawhi and the Raptors, yeah. But Ryan said because everyone on the Warriors got hurt, he doesn't count that as a title.
That's fair. That's pretty much what I said.

And now, here's more Rusilla.

All right, I have a real question here.

Something weird has happened with this Celtics team in the fact that I think maybe it's because they've been around for so long that, like, the national media maybe is, like, trying to poke holes where it's like, are they underperforming? I'm in a gambling chat, and someone dropped a note last night that I thought was pretty interesting. basically the Celtics in this run with Tatum and Brown have only underperformed twice, and it was against the Heat in 2020 and the Heat in 2023.
Every other series that they've been favored, they've won, and there's a couple that they were underdogs and they won. So what is it about it? Is it because they went so far so early that they've been around for so long that we like, why haven't these guys won a title? When you can actually look at it, and I know you like to do this, where it's like, tell the story, they ran into a LeBron team.
They ran into the Nets when they were very close to beating the Bucs that year. The Bucs won.
So what is it? It's everything you just said. We completely agree.
there's almost an unwarranted hangover with this team where if this was the first version like say they were a 48 win team and it's like yeah Tatum and Brown are pretty good and it's like wait they added Prazingis and they added Drew Holiday and they won 60 plus games and they smashed all these teams and their point differential is where with all these other historic teams that won titles and are some of the I think it's on that list you look at those teams you're like those might be four of the five best teams you've ever seen in NBA history and the Celtics are plugged in there too I think they'd be talked about a little bit differently but I'm as guilty of this as anyone whether it's daily shows and all the stuff that I used to have to do or still do now is that you're trying to think of all these different storylines like what does this mean what does this mean but I've said it before when they were in the western or excuse me when they're in the eastern conference finals in 17 they were they people thought they were going to that year kind of rebuilding and then that's when people were going brad stevens for president and the absurd topics of like how many players do you take before you take brad stevens because of 2017 and guys are trying to say like maybe four or five players then i take brad stevens i love brad stevens that's one of the dumbest things we've said in modern NBA history where you'd be like, I'll take Brad over the other 445 guys. That's ridiculous.
But that's the kind of stuff we were doing because they're like, wait, how are the Celtics already this good? And then you see what happens to them in 17 when they play LeBron. It's like, oh, wait, they're not that good.
And they still went seven, right? That was in 18 they went seven. I mean, it really came down in the last few possessions,

and the Celts could have gotten to the finals there,

and that was without Kyrie because he wasn't there for the game.

And so I think them being ahead of schedule early

has led to more concern than perhaps warranted of like as if if they're this seven year failure prior to what happens here. 2020, I felt like it's more of a toss up as opposed to the gambling odds.
2023 was, was devastating. Yeah, that was the, that was, that was horrifying.
So you have 22 where you're like, I don't know if I really trust these guys to close out against Curry, and it doesn't happen. 23 is a disaster.
So I think 22 and 23 are baked into some of the – I think some of the concerns are warranted. Look, I've watched them all season long, and there are moments where I'm like, what are you guys going to do? Are you just going to ISO on this huge possession, and then nobody's going to move, and nobody's going to pass? Are you going to fall into these traps if the three-point shots don't fall? That has to be concerned for anybody that's watched him but I feel like it's it's added layers that have nothing to do with the 24 roster because this is the best team of all of these teams they've had throughout this entire run however short they've come up in the conference finals yeah yeah and it's it's it's funny too because that's like the big picture Celtics and then the small picture that Jason Tatum, I don't remember a finals where it's like, yes, obviously legacies are always on the line, but if the Celtics lose this, it's Jason Tatum.
We told you he's not that good, and if the Celtics win this, he's going to go play the Olympics and then get a Supermax, which will be the biggest contract at the time before Luca signs his.

And then we're going to have the conversation is Jason Tatum,

the best player in the league, because you know that's coming.

So it's like the volatility of this finals for him personally is absolutely insane.

Totally, totally agree.

I mean, think about it this way and how absurd this can all be. And this is why I try to push back on it.

But at the same time, too, it's not like you've memorized every little intricate detail of all these playoffs we're like well yeah but in 83 when Tony you know we're like what uh Tatum can play the exact same series right you play the exact same series you come down to the last few possessions and they could lose in game seven Luca is better than everybody else I don't think there's really any debate about that I mean other than Jokic but as series, like there is a, I think a significant gap between Tatum and Luka, even if the numbers would tell you it's a little bit closer. But Tatum could be great the whole time.
Conversely, Luka could be great the whole time. And then the opposing team hits that one big shot towards the end.
And then we act like that player is completely different. Not so much even for Luka, because I think most people look at this and be like, okay, this is a nice little reminder that last year was fluky and he's probably the best offensive bet for one possession of any player in the league.
But the Tatum thing is going to be weird because I'm going to go like, all right, well, he's awesome. He's awesome.
It's awesome to have Jason Tatum as your best player, but I'm not going to start putting him ahead of Giannis and SGA. It'll be interesting to see how far somebody goes with it.
Cause somebody like people won't be able to help themselves the morning after it happens. But my general point is the player is usually the same, but the outcome is different.
And history is only to remember the winners, but then we have to add this other part of like, well, can't Tatum just still be awesome and be like a top seven guy. Like, no, no, no.
Do you not understand the rules? Yeah. Right.
We've, we've, we've we've got to say would you rather have him than sga which i think would be wrong even if he wins it yeah i think the rules are if he wins if he wins finals mvp celtics win then he's the number one two or three player in the nba if he loses then he's outside the top 10 entirely and a bum and he won't be outside of the top 10. No, he's a fraud.
No, no, no. These are the rules.

He'll be a fraud, right?

No, a fraud and a bum.

Yeah, these are the rules.

Yeah.

No, I'm saying if he loses, we will drop him.

I can sense Hank.

You can't get to 10.

You can't be reasonable.

No, no.

We'll get to 10.

We'll get to 10.

No problem.

Try to get to 10.

Give me the hypothetical Tatum loses the series in six.

No problem.

No problem.

The 10 ahead of Tatum.

So we got Jokic.

Yep.

We got Doncic.

Yep.

We've got...

Embiid.

Embiid.

I don't know. Loses the series in six.
No problem. No problem.
The 10 ahead of 10. So we got Jokic.
Yep. We got Doncic.
Yep. We've got...
Embiid. Embiid.
SGA. Why does he always get a pass for just never being good in the playoffs? Oh, hey, hey.
Hey, shut the fuck up. Hold on.
We're just doing this hypothetical. We're doing a hypothetical.
Embiid. So that's four.
Giannis. Wait.
Wait. We did Jokic.
Yeah. Jokic, Doncic.
Said Giannis twice. Embiid, Giannis, SGA, that's five.
Anthony Edwards, next up. Next, Michael Jordan, that's six.
Jalen Brown played better than Tatum in the finals, so he's at seven. Yeah, that's true.
You got to put KD in there still, too. KD, you got to put him in there out of respect.
LeBron. LeBron, great player.
And Anthony Davis. I was going to say James Harden, but yeah.
James Harden. Zion, too.
He doesn't get hurt. If he doesn't get hurt, look out.
Trae Young. Trae Young.
Listen, I can. You love Trae Young.
Who yelled Trae Young? Yeah, I can keep these names going, right? Oh, Kurt, Steph. We didn't say Steph.
Oh, Steph. We might be like 15 if you let us keep going.
Yeah, Tatum. Maxie.
Maxie. Tyrese Maxie.
This is getting warmed up. Maxie.
Did Max say? Maxie. Maxie.
Maxie. Maxie.
Maxie. Jalen Brunson.
Jalen Brunson. Great point.
Absolutely. Jalen Brunson.
Great point. Say what you want about it.
He would never lose in the finals. Yep.
Yep. Nope.
He definitely won't lose in the finals. Yes.
Yes. He will not lose in the finals.
You didn't mention my guy, Booker. Yeah.
Devin Booker. He's above him.
Yeah. Oh, Wemby.
What the fuck are we doing? Wemby. Wemby might be number one.
Guarby might be number one Guaranteed This is an easy game to play This is light work I'll admit I have a problem with Embiid being named so soon I just want that stated for the record Why is that right Curious to know your thoughts on why you don't think Embiid should be top three I'm over it go off. Max, you can unmute your mic, Max.

Put the camera on yourself.

Yeah, put the camera.

This is a Max versus Rosillo 1v1.

Here we go.

Because he gets hurt.

No, I'm willing to understand the argument that he gets hurt.

Oh, wow.

Thank you.

We understand it, but not accept it.

The guy who spilled the glass.

When we say he's made out of glass, Max tries to jump through the window.

He got a fucking Bell's palsy.

Like, how are we supposed to predict Bell's palsy in the playoffs?

I don't know. The guy who spilled the glass.
When we say he's made out of glass, Max tries to jump through the window. He got a fucking Bell's palsy.
Like, how are we supposed to predict Bell's palsy in the playoffs? All right? What does that have to do with someone's medical consistency? Okay, but what about Bell's palsy? What about everything else? All right. He still had a good playoffs.
You can get Bell's palsy from using crutches too much. All right.
That's a fact. So, Rasil, you're over it.
That's your opening statement to Max.

To the world.

To the world.

And what would be your follow-up to over it?

So, Zach Lowe, who we all love and have a tremendous amount of respect for,

he was – I mean, we can't – I love – like, I can't get enough of the top five stuff, okay?

I make myself do it before the season starts,

and I make myself update it again during the season.

I'm a little bit more stubborn with it, where feel like like if luca were to win this forget yokich right like that guy's just invisible and it's like luca's the best player like there's not going to be enough room on the luca's the best player and i'm going to like emphatically i may even tweet out be like yokich is still the best player in the world just want to remind everybody not a big deal i have luca too i voted luca too for for MVP. But when it comes to Embiid, I think for the longest time, because I think a lot of us that were neutral or fans were huge fans of the personality, felt bad about all the different injuries, felt bad about people giving him shit for being upset after the Toronto series.
And then Ben Simmons taking swipes at him.

And then Ben Simmons mentally shutting down and never being the same except

posting workout videos all the time.

And then Ben Simmons posting another thing when the Sixers had lost the

playoffs and he's fucking at home doing nothing like trolling the Sixers and

Embiid.

I was team Embiid for a really long time.

I voted MVP two years ago and I had a really hard time with that vote because I just didn't know I was like are you going to feel great about this the way the rest of it played out but part of it's just because of how aggressive I think Sixers fans were about the Embiid-Jokic argument where I felt like they just really weren't even watching Jokic but were totally comfortable just dissing him the entire time as if it was insufferable or actually they they were insufferable, insulting to suggest that anybody was better than Embiid. And at this point, what am I supposed to do with him? Zach Lowe was like, he's irrefutably in the top four.
And I was like, let's refute. Yeah.
Let's refute because it is, at least the way I have it, is I have it as Jokic, Luka, Giannis, SGA, you could flip a coin with. I think it's those four.
And that fifth spot is not reserved for Embiid for me anymore in the way that it was prior to the season. I mean, at some point, man, at some point.
This season, he was incredible. When he played this year, he was awesome.
It was the best year of his career. What are you talking about? This might be the best new debate show.
And he averaged 33-11-6 in the playoffs this year. Better than fucking Tatum's averages in the playoffs.
And I just sent you guys a stat about Tatum. Yeah, I saw that.
We'll get to that. This might be the best new debate show because Rusillo just comes in calmly with facts and then you just have an idiot screaming into a microphone.
I max first of all but i sensed a tone change from max from the first time when we talked about him b to it's like he needed to get warmed up so yeah yeah good to have you here uh how about this i don't give a fuck what any of his stats are i just don't give a shit his per PER was actually on track to be like the greatest single PER of anyone. I mean, those are incredible.
I know what the numbers are. I know what the final totals are.
You know what I'm sick of seeing? I'm sick of seeing playoff games where I need him to figure out a way to unlock the possession and get him into his stuff on his own in a way that I don't think he's capable of doing the way other guys are. He's just not.
And part of it's like the center position. He's this incredibly skilled guy for his size, which is what attracts us to what's possible with him.
But I've just watched enough. I'm not going to debate people on this anymore.
I've been saying it for fucking years. Catch, late possession, dribble, bring a late double.
he's just he hasn't figured out some of the stuff that he needs to do to get me beyond the 30 15 and all the awesome shooting numbers that you get any mb guy can beat me over the head with all sorts of stats i'm asking you if you're a sixers fan do you feel super comfortable in those moments where it's up to him i don't if you do congrats to you for having unwavering fame. But I want to know how many players like that you are comfortable with.
Well, I have a question for you. Like, Jason Tatum, no matter what, is the only guy on the court.
Every single time you go to him, you comfortable? I think he can get himself into something easier than Embiid can. I think Embiid is still a dependent.
I don't know. I think in those possessions, I think Embiid is still someone that is kind of dependent upon someone getting him to where he needs to go to work from.
And that's just a simple big guard perimeter. Yes, Max, that's what you need to say is that there's no center in the league that could do what Rosillo's talking about.
Oh, fuck, there is. Jokic.
Oh, that's right. Damn it.
The guy Sixers fans shit on him for two straight years and then saw him in the finals. I just can't believe some of the Sixers stuff.
Oh, man. Shit.
I was trying to defend Max there, Ryan. I guess I know too much ball.
Jokic is good. Jokic is good.
Make that a quote. Jokic is good.
Hank, do you have any questions for Russillo? Hank is he's been through a rollercoaster these playoffs. He was very scared of the heat.
Game two got him to a point that we hated seeing where we had to drag cocky Hank back out of him. He's now back to cocky Hank.

He's feeling himself.

But I know he also deep

down, there's a lot of pressure because

like we said, the Celtics have been around for a long

time here in this iteration.

Have not won anything.

Everyone's going to talk about the East being so easy.

He knows how much is

at stake for him personally. He said he might

just disappear from the internet

if the Celtics don't win this series.

So, Hank,

Thank you. he knows how much is at stake for him personally.
He said he might just disappear from the internet if the Celtics don't win this series. So, Hank, get your worries out to Rosillo.
How important is game one? Can they lose game one and still win the series? Yes, absolutely. Because that...
So you're scared. That's how he's just been thinking about game one.
You're terrified. I am thinking about game one all the time.
We need it to start.

You can't win two until you win one.

You're not thinking about one game at a time because you're saying if we lose game one, can we still win?

You're already thinking about game two.

Rusillo, is game one a must win or a can't lose?

Blame pie?

Yeah.

Geez.

Yeah, I don't know.

I don't think it's more important for Dallas for dallas to get that first one oh okay so can dallas win the series if they lose game one yeah what because yeah home court how's that work because no dallas they would lose and they have one can they win chances to get four yeah they've still got you know they've got of them. You can drop one team on the road.
Does anyone here think that one team is severely better than the other one? Team, yes. I'm betting on the Celtics to win easily just so I can get really mad at the Celtics when they don't.
I think the Celtics team is better than the Mavericks. I think Luka is better than everyone else on the Celtics team.
Hank, you raised your hand in the background. You think there's a pretty big gap between Boston and Dallas? Yeah, I do, which makes me scared if, you know, because, you know, in the past, the Celtics have kind of tightened up in some of these big games, and they know they're the better team, and if, you know, somehow they drop one of the games early, then they're going to tighten up.
That's my biggest fear.

They're the better team, and they know that.

But you lose one a game, maybe it's a close game, and all of a sudden things get tight.

Pressure gets turned up.

Pressure creates diamonds, yeah.

In 22, I pick Golden State.

The statistical models were all over Boston.

I mean, some of the models were absurd

how much they loved the Celtics and their chances of winning the finals. And I was like, God, this feels like really dismissive of who Golden State is.
This time around, I don't want to be dismissive of Dallas because I don't know that you can look at any of the year-long stats. They're two completely different teams.
They have bottled up some really good offensive players here in the playoffs. They shut down an Oklahoma City team that you thought, okay, at least they're going to score.
Can you really turn off their offense? Other than SGA going crazy, that game for SGA, that's not supposed to happen. Hit every mid-range shot to start pulling up because he knew he had to do it all on himself because of how good the defense has been from Derek Jones and PJ taking on SGA and the rim protection and Kyrie being like more aware and locked in off the ball and showing like real effort for the first time that I think I've seen in like six years from him defensively because I think he's had some decent moments in the past and where Luka, who's not good defensively, it hasn't been an issue and he hasn't been targeted.
I have a ton of respect for them, but I just feel like Boston can attack them in a way that hasn't happened before. At least in these playoffs, and maybe they figure it out.
But I've just seen too many series, man, where game one happens and then everyone thinks that the rest of the series is going to go the way game one goes. It's just not the way sports work 48 hours later.
And also you'd have to think if Boston's down that because they've been through this before, that has to mean something. It has to mean something that Drew Holiday has been through some of the stuff, not with this group, but all the years that he's been in Milwaukee.
And my favorite thing I've ever learned from this is like when you're down and the other team is close to you and talent that other team should be so motivated to not be blowing the series and look the Minnesota series could have gone a couple different ways if Minnesota just didn't screw up with the basketball down the stretch but Luke is the best closer in the game and that's kind of what you're faced with so if it ends up being a bunch of close games and Boston's not hitting three-pointpoint shots like this could easily go dallas's way but i still think boston has more options than they faced so far if someone on the celtics was going to win finals mvp not named jason tatum or jalen brown who do you think it would be uh i i think because derrick white could probably be somebody they ignore and he hits a ton of threes. But remember, the final stuff becomes like almost Heisman moment-y.
Like whether it's the quarterback Super Bowl thing or it's, hey, leading scorer, best player, whatever. We'll give it to Tatum, give it to Luka.
But there have been other times where I think like Jalen Brown won the Eastern Conference Finals MVP because of the three-point shot, and then I think finding Derek White for that other big three against the Pacers. I think Tatum's clearly more important.
The way other teams defend, they're more worried about Tatum first and then Jalen second. Same thing happened against Miami with Hero on Jalen Brown and then Caleb Martin on Tatum.
Same thing happened against Cleveland where Strew starts on Jalen Brown and Okoro's on Tatum. They actually switched that one because Brown was going off.
And then with the Pacers, they had Neesmith, who's their best equipped bigger wing. He starts out on Tatum.
And I think that should matter somewhat when you're looking at who's actually dictating what's happening in all of these games. Yeah, the finals MVP becomes a popularity vote unless your name's Steph Curry.
Yeah, I still hate the 15 vote so much. I hate that vote.

It's like, yeah, but Iguodala.

You're like, what?

It's such a funny trivia that he –

Right, and then it turns into something.

That he has one finals MVP.

Yeah.

Defense, though.

Defense is important.

Yeah, defense is important.

What about the coaches?

Yeah.

Can you give us a breakdown of strengths, weaknesses of Kidd and Missoula?

I think Kidd's strengths are something where it's like, there's never going to be a moment where he's ever going to be thrown off by any of it, right? He's played in the finals. He's coached a few different stops.
I think the broadcast has done a good job in talking about how there's just this respect that you're going to have for Kidd that you're not going to have for other coaches. You know, pro athletes, I mean, Big Cat knows.
He's friends with tons of them. These guys will absolutely stop listening to you the second they think they should stop listening to you.
And usually that'll start with somebody who will be like, what did this guy do again? He fucking played at West Virginia. Like what?

You know, where the other side, it's Jason Kidd.

And it's not really the X's and O's as much as it's getting the message across to these guys. But I think in a series, the coaches that it's this fine line of like, hey, this is who we've been.

This is who we've been this entire season.

This is where we're at now.

So let's not freak out when Luca burns us on the thing that we want to do

defensively.

Let's not burn through a bunch of different looks just because a guy hit a

three in the corner.

But then I think some coaches are just like,

I had all these plans and I told myself I was going to follow the course.

And now none of the things I was prepping for working out this way. So let's like change everything.
And then the players are like, wait, what the fuck are we doing? Like we mapped this out. We said, these were going to be our rules.
We said, this is how we're going to send help or not send help to Luca. And now TJ Washington hits three shots in the first quarter.
And we're going to start scrambling as if the whole playbook is thrown out. And I don't think kid would would ever be that way and you know Missoula is a tougher scouting report because he just hasn't been around as long and the team is loaded yeah couldn't you say that that's actually a strength of Missoula as well where he has his system and he just keep because like the Celtics when they don't shoot well from three can look like the worst team in the NBA like They've had it a couple times in these playoffs or twice.

But he's like, we're going to keep doing it.

We're not going to just change it because we –

They're not changing that.

Yeah, I think you're absolutely right.

Maybe stubborn is the wrong word there,

but when you think about the body of work here,

you're like, wait, you want me to do something different

because there's going to be a night a few threes don't go in?

I think my biggest issue with the Celtics,

and we've talked about the closing part of it, and there was that Atlanta regular season loss where I was like, are you guys seriously going to do this? Like when they blew the game to Cleveland, and the other part of the lesson here is that we don't really have that many games like this to really even point to. And then with any Dallas bad stretches, we just kind of erase them because you're like, okay, well, they closed the season 12 and three.
They had this incredible defense. So what is there really to critique?

But the analogy that I've used before is if you have a really special score, okay,

and he's getting his 22 shots up a game, you know there's going to be five shots in there

where you're like, what were you thinking on that?

Like, that's just a contested shot.

You missed a read here.

This was too early in the shot clock.

Like, what are you doing? But the problem is, and it's not really even a problem, but like that's almost a contested shot you missed a read here this was too early in the shot clock like what are you doing but the problem is and it's not really even a problem but like that's almost a tax not to get into that topic that's a tax those five shots that you don't love are all baked into the rest of the shots we're like I can't believe he made that or I can't even believe he was confident in his abilities enough to even take this shot especially in a playoff game where you're going to need guys taking really difficult shots because other guys are just not going to be as comfortable and that's what the superstar is tasked with the Celtics from a team standpoint I'll watch all these games and I know they're going to shoot a million threes and they do a great job of just stretching the defense out in all of these different corners but there's also going to be five or or seven threes. We're like, I know you are really three-point happy, and I know everybody has a green light, but that was like 16 seconds left in the shot clock, and you took that one into the break, off a dribble, and you didn't even look at what the defense was presenting you, and you decided that was the best shot, and it was way too early.
So even though their overall shot quality is really, really high, I guess i'm being a little too stubborn with it i mean stubborn again isn't really the right word but being too critical of of the handful of possessions that every team is going to have in every big game you're like what the hell was that but did anybody make you take that bad shot or you just decide to go ahead and take it and that's been the green light part of the celtics team yeah all right last question roback question rhoback.com promo code take 20 off your first purchase q-zips polos hoodies joggers shorts and swimsuits roback.com rhoback.com uh promo code take my last question for you ryan is uh do you have uh numbers that you can share with us uh in terms of in the gym right now what are we currently working with okay obviously uh you always get the injury stuff with me but got uh no excuses you can't do that after you do the Embiid stuff that's fair well if he put up 24 reps at 225 let me know oh Ryan Russillo I'm over it I'm over it always hurt always. Always has a caveat for his bench press.
Almost killed himself building a squat rack in his garage over it. I'm not dying today.
Not dying like this. You should actually do that as a script.
A guy who dies at the end of the movie? No, it's like Lone Survivor, but it's just Ryan Russillo versus squat rack. i've got one for sale if anybody's interested okay what are you squatting these days oh i haven't squatted now for a while i can tell we could tell on your legs over it we could tell i saw i saw those pictures and i we could tell i commented using several burners like yeah we could tell we staple these twigs to rusillo's torso i feel like you passed over that bench press number kind of quick 225 24 times i asked somebody for a spot and then he was like what are you that happens because i was like i'm feeling it today i was like i feel really good today i was like let me see what i could do let's see let's see what happens and i just you know what i did towards the end i was struggling and i went choose to be strong oh strength is a choice that's good mind over matter yeah yeah so i was i was like wait how many more do you have i go hey why don't you just choose to be strong choose strength hashtag it's a great hashtag choose strength yes um speaking of hey what happened with billy football on a few different fronts Where do you want to start? His political career seemed quick.
Derailed.

Yes.

He got. um speaking of hey what happened with billy football on a few different fronts all right where do you want to start his his political career seemed quick derailed yes he got derailed i was i was rude what happened i was rude for billy he was trying to get the signatures necessary to be the republican candidate in new york's third district and uh he ran up against the establishment who challenged all the signatures and they found uh a couple errors in the signatures with like addresses things like that basically they had lawyers billy didn't have lawyers so they just kept suing him and filing court cases against him to the point where billy was like i can't do this i can't pay for it anymore that sucks okay yeah uh the fire fest guy challenged him a fight or was he just trying to promote his brand i think i safe say he's promoting his brand yeah yeah i don't think he wants anything to do with billy i mean i've seen the footage no yeah i i mean well i mean i mean you're billy yeah yeah so i don't know because because fire fest billy just won his first kickboxing match he knocked the dude out so the fire did yeah the fire fest guy wants to kickbox billy is just a he's a prize fighter yeah we can't sanction a kickboxing fight and we also i think after the jose canseco uh fight we made a hard and fast rule don't do the fight business with guys who are known schemers you think the firefest guys can you let's hear him out you are in the fight game though it is true there's always there's always some gray area in there a little bit that is true imagine if the firefest guy kicked billy football's ass i think he'd be the new billy football yeah we'd have to hire him he'd have to get the surname football oh i don't want to see that no i don't want to see that either we shared it on the pod today and i know everybody has to run here but i like to update different confrontations that i have throughout my life because i've gotten a point where i'll just say like hey i think i think you're doing this wrong like instead of stewing and being quiet like how we mostly do and be like you know i gotta worry about myself here a little bit i'm gonna just say hey i was at the equinox in soho and some kid had the rope pull down.
I asked if he was using it. It was on the ground.
And he was using a different attachment on the cable. And he said, yeah, I am going to use it.
And I was like, it's on the ground. And he's like, yeah, I'm using it.
I was like, okay. I already sized him up.
Dickhead probably went to choke across. So I got my timer going to keep my pace lined up with my goals.
And five minutes go by my timer. He hasn't touched the ropes, the rope pull down thing.
So I just grabbed it. He's like, whoa, what are you doing? And I was like, do you realize what you're doing? I was like, do you realize that if everybody did this, like took future accessories and piled them up around them so that you wouldn't have to wait, that would fuck up the entire ecosystem we have here, right? And he still just could not understand.
He could not understand that I thought what he was doing was wrong. So the other night, Wanda Swinger Golf Club, first time since calf tear.
Seventh hole, I'm lining up a putt on the green, par three at night here in LA. And the guy hits right onto the green.
And I go, hmm, that's weird. All right, whatever,.
Par three rules are out the door. Nice shot.
And then I was like, maybe it's a one-off. I blade my tee shot on eight.
He's walking up, sees it goes nice shot. And I was like, wait, what? I'm like, am I actually getting the business from this kid? And then as I walked from the tee box to my tee shot, which is just behind the green, I was going to have to chip up over this mound to get it back on.
I did. Save par.
And as I'm walking down the fairway, he just tees off again and actually sticks it right at the pin. And so then I wait till nine.
I go, what the fuck are you doing? He's like, I'm sorry, sir. I'm just very confident in my abilities.
That guy rules. Right.
And I went like, and he was athletic. He's an an athletic build and i was just looking at him and i thought to your point about sizing people up i was like well if he's that good at golf he can't be tough yeah yeah it's a good point right right yeah yeah if you're really really good like if you're if you hit a couple good shots every now then you can be like, you might be an athlete.
Yeah, the fluid nature of a swing is not a tough guy thing. He's got to practice a lot of golf.
Right. Probably hangs out with other golfers.
Yeah. That's what I said to him.
I go, if you're this good, then you should know what you're doing is kind of fucking stupid. I was like, what do you think? What's going to happen here? And what do you think? I just really wanted to play with you, man.
And like condescending TikTok voice. And I went, all right.
and I was like what do you think what's going to happen here and what he's like I just really wanted to play with you man and like condescending tiktok voice and I went all right and I was like okay and my favorite thing to do is like oh yeah you're right you're right I'm wrong I'm the wrong one here for being annoyed by the shit you're doing and then um as I finished up on 10 I was talking to these other guys because he's like yeah he yelled in my backswing and then his final act of defiance is he hit his t shot off a 10 and as we were walking away from the green he screams for the top of his lungs and his shot was like on the total other side of the green oh i kind of like he's just an asshole there's some good pranks that's that's a good bit i like guy. I kind of want to be friends with him.
Ryan, the story of at the gym, you texted me that because that was the night after the Wisconsin JMU game that we went to. Yeah, speaking of confrontation.
Yeah, the never ending. But when you texted that to me, you were like, I'm hungover, got into a verbal altercation at the gym.
It made me realize one of the best cures for a hangover that no one ever talks about,

getting into an altercation with someone.

Yes.

It gets your blood going.

Adrenaline boost.

It gets adrenaline.

You get like clear, your brain turns clear.

It eliminates all the fog to it.

I like to jerk off instead of that, but yeah.

Smoke weed, jack off,

or get into a verbal altercation in public.

Yeah, it's a safe one.

A safe one, controlled area.

Right, because getting stabbed would probably make the hangover. The hangover part would go away, but then you're going to have different issues.
But I love these little moments because as I've aged, I start to think more of us are aligned. More of us want the right things.
More of us, and I just think we need to develop fuck-up island. Yeah.
Did you ever watch Moonraker and James Bond, the guy just wanted to blow up the whole planet and start over with a bunch of tall, hot blondes. That's aggressive.
But if you just had, hey, you guys want to- If there's another guy that did that. Yeah.
You guys just want to punk each other and get in each other's way, scam systems and fuck everything up for everybody else, make fraudulent insurance claims. claims like here's fuck up island you guys just all live there and you can all deal with each other and all the consequences while the rest of us that don't want to be like that i'll be over here maybe we'll get some more stuff done so that was a perfect ending because you just you came up with fire fest no i came up with billy football's new campaign strategy of fuck up island i think you can't buy houses anymore.
I think you just invented jail. Yeah.
Australia. Yeah.
Future. Reinvented.
Maybe Australia rebranding. Yeah.
All right. Well, Ryan, you're the best.
We love having you on. Hopefully we'll see you soon.
Maybe grit week. So, yeah.
Well, I don't know. Sans boat.
We'll see. Maybe it can rent something.
Maybe Hank will have a lead on something and we can have him captain it. Yeah.
Oh, that would be so emasculating. What if you still had your boat and Hank just stepped onto it? He's like, I'll take this from here, right? Yeah.
Captain Hank's aboard. Don't worry.
Would be tough, but I'd know that Florida training in a second. Yeah.
Oh man. All right.
Thanks, Ryan. Thanks guys.
We're still was brought to you by NCAA college football. It's here.
It's here. You've seen the clips.
You've seen the trailers. The new college football game is here with campus IQ gameplay.
There's an all new composure system, player wear and tear home field advantage, diverse play styles across 134 FBS teams through dynasty. You can create a coach, you can update their abilities, upgrade them, establish your staff, then you can recruit the best talent either straight from high school or you can go direct from the transfer portal.
Me personally, if I was a coach in college football, I would make sure that if I had a five-star recruit on campus, I would know their name and I would say their name to their face if I did a video with them. That's the difference between me when I'm playing college football and some actual college football coaches.
There's also iconic atmospheres, traditions, pageantries, sounds, sights of college football. Home Field Advantage is a gameplay feature informed by unique home atmospheres.
You can pre-order the MVP bundle. You get College Football 25 and Madden NFL 25 plus can't miss rewards and both.
Check it out. Pre-order that MVP bundle.
You get College Football 25 and you get Madden NFL 25. Check it out.
College Football is here. Okay, Henry.
Let's finish up with guys on chicks. Dudes on chicks.
Dude, dude. That's going to rock so hard.
So hard. No, Hank, did you hear that, PFT? He's mocking.
I'm echoing. That was the definition of an echo.
I think that Hank thinks his job is to just tell people why all their ideas are not realistic. Yeah, can everyone who listens to this.
This is insane. Insane.
Please tweet me if you think I should let Hank come to DudeFest because his attitude stinks about DudeFest.

Imagine being on the wrong side of history at DudeFest.

What have I done or said that would suggest I'm on the anti-DudeFest?

A lot.

Just play it back.

Yeah, I'm just trying to iron out your thoughts.

My bad.

Do you want to come to DudeFest? Of course. Are you out your thoughts hey do you want to come to dude fest of course are you sure yes do you want to present a dude fest we should yeah we should we should do uh a dart like a nine darter i've got an idea for the challenge for the start of it i've got an idea from the start of it yeah hank you want to lead everybody and i want to stand with you on a mountain yes I'll name the song uh truly madly deeply do you want to do it yeah I'd love to unfortunately we don't have you got cut again so darts is a great idea Hank you're back in on dude fest Max you want to do truly badly deeply I'd love to okay great that's something where we should pay like we there's certain budgets like big time weightlifter we need to pay for that and uh the guy who whistles we got to pay for him and uh darts we should get a couple professional darters hey pmt guys my boyfriend and i always discuss this would you rather would you rather all of your teams win this year and never again or let it play out as it normally would, both ways you don't know about the choice that would be made? Thanks, guys.
Love the show. Yeah, this is definitely a dude.
There's no way that guy and his girlfriend talk about this. All my teams win.
This is a guy and his buddy. In one calendar year, and then it never happens again.
I know it's never going to happen again. No, you don't.
I don't know that it's never going to happen. You don't know it's going to happen again.
Or that it's never going to happen again no you don't i don't know that it's never going to happen don't know it's going to happen again or that it's never going to happen uh i think you got to take the year it would be a great year well because all right i'm thinking about all all my teams so i'm thinking about my college teams too and i don't think that my college teams are ever going to win a title so i'm basically getting a guaranteed one that i would never get right so the way i'm breaking it down i've been fortunate enough to have cap stanley cup champions nationals world series champions so i would get wizards and commanders but all in the same year and i've i barely remember the redskins in 1991, 92.

I think I would take it.

Sweeping the entire board for an entire year.

I mean, you just, you have that for the rest of your life.

You're like, that year was the greatest year of my entire life.

You know what I would do?

If that happened to me, I would retire from being a sports fan.

Yeah.

I'd walk away on top.

I'd be like, this is, it's been great.

See you guys. But you wouldn't because you wouldn't know.

I'd secretly.

Yeah.

I wouldn't know,'d secretly yeah i wouldn't know but i feel like it might be a move to just say like this is as good as my life will ever get as a sports fan i think i would take it yeah because if you don't take it you're basically trying to say that uh you'll win more over the course of your life otherwise.

I don't, yeah.

But life is, listen, you never know when it's going to end.

And you don't want to be looking back being like,

I never got to see the one team that I really wanted.

The key here is to know that you wouldn't be able to know that that was the end.

Because if you knew it was the end, I think that changes the the whole hypothetical where if you got all your championships in one year but then you knew at the end of that year you would never win another one i don't think i'd take that but maybe if so if speaking from mine and your perspective if we had this year and for you wisconsin football and basketball one if and and women's hockey. And women's hockey.
If James Madison won the national championship in football, in addition to all my other sports, I think I would figure out that something was going on. I'd probably think I'm already dead.
No, you would be like, this is going to keep happening. This is my life now.
It's me's me yeah how it goes Hank yeah before you realize

you're never gonna win again so yeah I think that's the answer as long as you had the ability to not know what was happening because if you knew that you would never ever taste it again I think it would be it would ruin sports for you for the rest of your life if you just what happens yeah if you were guaranteed no but you're not you're still you still don't know what's gonna to happen. True.
Sup, Dadcat, PFT bagger, and handsome Hank. My husband will only buy fall scented candles despite it being a billion degrees outside.
Our house always smells like a brisk October morning, and he says it's to remind him that football exists and is right around the corner. That's heaven.
Is this normal behavior? It's genius behavior. It's genius.
It's really smart.

Even in the summer?

What do you want your house to smell like in the summertime? The ocean. I'd rather...
No, I want to go to the ocean, but I want to smell football. Yeah.
I want to smell leaves, pumpkin. I want to smell football.
Pumpkin in the summer? Yeah. I was thinking about this yesterday.
I kind of wish Football season was In a different part of the year No Hear me out I won't I actually don't want to hear you out I think So obviously fall is the best Because of football season But would the spring be the best because of football season

if football season was in the spring?

And here's why.

We always have the summer going into football season,

and I find myself, I know this is wrong,

trying to wish away the summer,

which is the best season in terms of weather.

I try to wish away the summer to get to football season.

I kind of wish we had summer after football season. no you're wrong you're wrong if you we do have spring football and maybe i just wish we lived in australia i would solve it right the the seasons feel different i i like i like the fact that football it's like a warm blanket over you as the days get colder i I agree, but I'm saying more what if football season started in Thanksgiving and ran Thanksgiving to April and then we had all summer.
So in the spring, if you're watching football on a beautiful, beautiful Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, whenever the games are, you feel like, to a certain extent, you should be doing something outside. That's a fair point.
If you're in the fall and it's getting shitty outside, September and October, though, I'm going to be inside watching football all day, staying warm in my house. But you do have those feelings September and October.
That's why I'm saying keep the winter football. Keep late fall winter football.
Again, this is a dumb idea. I'm only saying this because I found myself wishing away summer, which happens all the time where I'm like, I wish football season would get here.
And you shouldn't wish away summer. But that's just my natural because you have this big dangling carrot at the end of summer that I'm so excited for.
So when's the draft? I don't know. know again this also isn't something i'm hoping would they would change i'm hoping they could like men in black all of us and change it without us knowing i guess it would also matter what sport would take its place in the fall i don't fucking know because if i thought that if there's no sport then it's just we get like the days of baseball for longer.
But think about it. Football started in late October and went till April.
And then it's like summer. Move playoff baseball up.
I like that. September starts in playoff baseball.
I like that. When playoff baseball is over, football starts.
So, yeah, it's not that we don't get fall football we still get a lot of fall football it's just we don't i i just hate wishing away the summer but i find myself doing it all the time i think for the kids out there going back to school you need football on tv yeah no i agree i listen i love the fall i love the you go to college and you're so excited because college football, right off the bat, you don't

have to waste your way through two and a half months of just going to class.

I would love for someone to figure out a way for me to stop wishing away this summer.

Maybe I've got to get a boat.

You should get a boat.

Have Hank captain it.

You try to do that.

What?

You threw that out there last year.

Buying a boat and having you captain it?

Mm-hmm.

Now knowing your boat record. It's immaculate.
I don't want to do this again. I don't want to do this.
Are you a strong swimmer? Yeah. Good.
All right, last one. Not a lot of good ones.
All right, that was the last one. All right.
Yeah, be better, AWLs. Send them in.

Or memes.

Or memes.

Memes be better.

Be ashamed if something happened to Mr.

Be ashamed if memes went back on a pip.

Yup.

That would be a shame.

Memes is never on a pip.

Well, personal pip.

Oh, he's definitely been on a pip.

Personal pip.

Yeah.

You can't. Well, legally, we can't tell him.

Oh, we can't?

Actually, no.

I guess you can.

No, I think you have to.

You have to.

What's the point? Yeah. You're on a secret pip.
He's been in and out of pips. He's like, he's been...
Pipsy hustle. Yeah.
You could count more days that memes is not on a pip. Or more days that he's on a pip than not on a pip.
Isn't that right, memes? Yeah, this is a great conversation.

All right, let's finish up.

Great show, boys.

We made a great show out of nothing going on.

Numbers.

Eight.

Twenty.

Eighteen.

Fifty-six. That was close.

I think I got you.

Hank just took eight for the first time.

I was looking at a picture of Porzingis.

Three.

Who was first, me or Hank? I'll give it. I know.
I mean. I honestly don't even care about this.
You got the jinx. What number would you affect? Psych.
Eight. No, I don't.
If you didn't. I always pick eight.
99, Pug. Max, why don't you care about this? Because you never saw it.
That's a second number. No, it's a stupid number.
I don't have a second number. All right, two.
He said second. I'm not even going to look at it.

It's the numbers going on.
