Today is Monday, May 6th. And boys, I don't even know where to start because we have so much things to talk about.
So many things happening in the sports world. Let's see.
NBA. NHL.
Horse. Boxing.
Boxing. F1.
Well, the price is at F1. You want to start with the price is at F1? Everyone tuned in for in for this podcast this is what people want here because i got personally offended on behalf of of america yes with these prices i don't i don't know if they were priced in euro dollars or whatever someone's gonna be so mad tuning in no fuck that they're just an f1 this is what i'm mad about we're not going to talk a single bit about f1 no we're going to talk about the concession stand prices main lobster rolls how much you think those run i saw it 280 dollars yeah yellowfin tuna poke 170 prawn 290 dollars the fruit refresher in the fruit refresher it's got pineapple watermelon stone fruit some things i can't pronounce kiwi and coconut 190 uh Do you know what the craziest part about this is? The menu that you just listed with those prices, it was $1,000 to even get into that spot.
Yeah. So $1,000 cover to get a fruit refresher for $200.
The fruit refresher was the worst. It was sweet, though.
Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, it's nuts.
So the wings, $190. How many wings do you think you get for $190? Probably six.
I'm guessing eight. I think they give you eight because they don't want to give you six because that looks like a half order.
Yeah, true. They give you eight to 10, and it's $190.
Those better be the best wings ever. I'd actually pay that for wing nuts.
Your wing nuts, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
By the way, I would love to see Ed and Alicia down at Miami F1 just cooking it up in the kitchen. They'd probably get a winning car.
Yeah. Get it gassed up.
All right. So the biggest story in my mind, and there's a ton we're going to talk about, is Anthony Edwards and what he did on Saturday night in Denver against the defending champion Nuggets in game one.
Obviously, a lot of series left, but Anthony Edwards is appointment television. Anthony Edwards is him.
Anthony Edwards is the next upcoming superstar in the NBA. I know we talked about superstars when it came to Jalen Brunson.
I think the playoffs is when you start to see, like Jalen Brunson is doing something, these playoffs, that will get him to superstar level if he continues to do it. Anthony Edwards is 22 years old and what he's doing uh through the first five games in these playoffs for him have been just out of this world yeah he's awesome he's dunking on people he's hitting the mid-range jump shots he's bringing a lot of energy too also the team that he's on around him he's like the perfect piece that he's developed into on that team as their star when you got gobert and then you've got not naz reed who we had the Nas Reid game on Saturday at the end of the game.
Bacon in threes. And everything.
He's in the Jelly Fam. Yeah.
Naz Reed, him and Jelly Walker go, like, way back. Yeah.
He was awesome to watch. He was awesome.
Yeah, you mentioned that. And no offense to Carl Anthony Towns.
He's a very good basketball player. He does foul a lot, and he gets fouled out a lot.
I think he actually didn't get fouled out in this game but he was close he was like they're like all right let's just put him on the bench then maybe we'll bring him back in at the end but no offense Carl Anthony Towns he's he's a good very good basketball player one quote afterwards and I understand what he was doing he was trying to be a good teammate but he said uh everybody talks about the big three the me rudy and ant combo but we really have a big 15 very nice sentiment he's talking about the team i don't think anyone's talking about the big three in in minnesota they're talking about anthony edwards yeah i don't it's anthony edwards cat is like he's he's developed he's the rare superstar that might he was like a star when he got league. Yeah.
He might just fade out into being a great piece. Yeah.
Some big time Bosco energy from him. Great.
Big three. Yeah.
But yeah, Anthony Edwards has been just absolutely incredible. And, you know, he was good the last two years.
It's not like this is he just has like all of a sudden shown up. But what he's doing is taking the next step.
And I said this a couple weeks ago. Watching a guy take that next step like while you're watching it.
And you can just point to it and be like, oh, my God, this is different than the last couple years. Is one of the most like enjoyable experiences in sports.
So I went back. Look, for his first two years, numbers were good.
but he was averaging 26 points per game, three and a half assists, and four rebounds in his playoff games, 46% shooting. This year through five games, he's averaging 33, five, and eight with 53% shooting.
It is this next step. He is going to another level that seems like he is taking the NBA by storm.
Again, the Nuggets are the defending champs. I think this is going to be a long series.
But he has no fear, and he's an absolute killer, and people are throwing around the MJ comparison. And it doesn't feel forced.
It's not crazy. No, it doesn't feel forced.
You know what I mean? He's got a lot to do.

He has to win one ring first.

Of course, but he's 22.

Yeah, and he's got that killer mentality to him.

The list of players that have scored 35-plus in three straight playoff games at age 22 or younger,

Lew Alcindor, you might know him.

He is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Anthony Edwards. Pretty crazy list there that Anthony Edwards is now on.
And, yeah, it's awesome to watch. In Minnesota, we've talked at lengths about Minnesota sports tragedy.
It's one of, if not the number one city in terms of shitty things always seem to happen in minnesota where their

teams are always good but they're never great and they like you know the twins with their losing what would they lose 15 games in a row or something yeah it was crazy that that it lasted like decades yeah the vikings we know their history the wolves the fact that they had kevin garnett they won they went to one western conference final they didn't win a series since this year.

It's nice that this fan base gets to wrap their arms around a 22-year-old up-and-coming superstar in Anthony Edwards. Sadly, we have to put to bed the narrative that the Lakers gave the Nuggets the best matchup.
Yes. I think we can officially say not true.
Not true, Mike. Yeah.
I know that we liked watching the sweep and then the gentleman sweep and we're like, damn, these games are fun. Turns out the Timberwolves are a little bit better than the Lakers as a basketball team.
Yeah. Kind of feel a little vindicated.
I know that they did fire Darvin Ham, which Lakers fans wanted him to be fired. I totally understand that.
He wasn't a good coach. But going back to the original point, I never thought the Lakers were the second best team in the NBA only behind the Denver Nuggets.
Also the Celtics. Yeah.
Well, no, but people were saying they were, like, if the Lakers just didn't have to play the Nuggets, they would have won the last two titles. Celtics are by far the best team in the NBA.
There's no chance that they lose. Hank's got his cockiness back, but yeah, that was a crazy game one.
Like, it was to see them punch them in the mouth. And even the way it started, it was like 18 to 4 before you could even blink.
And then the Nuggets came back, and the Nuggets were up late. And then it was just Nas Reed and Anthony Edwards, no fear.
Yeah. These young Wolves.
And I love when the Wolves – I love the Wolves' colors. Like, I feel like they've done a good job of doing the retro current jersey mix.
Yeah, they don't do the muted colors. You get the bright greens, the bright blues.
Yeah. It feels good.
It feels fun. We also had a James Harden legacy game over the weekend.
So the Clippers. The Clippers.
James Harden went out there, and he went 5 for 16 from the field minus six plus minus 16 points dropped 16

on him and they lost yeah the the clippers um good thing for james harden and paul george uh

and we'll get to this in who's back that i think this was the night that drake released one song

and then kendrick lamar released like two on top of his head yeah um because the clippers just went

out sad on friday night and then we had all these sports on saturday and sunday and people just kind of forgot oh yeah the clippers are one of the biggest uh sports disasters they're they are a disaster franchise i think charles barkley said i've been rich i've been poor yes i've been skinny i've been fat but the clippers have always sucked. Put perfectly.
That's it. I mean, that's exactly right.

Like, the Clippers just can't get out of their own way ever.

Some things never change.

Yeah.

It's comforting a little bit.

It is.

And the Mavs look awesome.

And, I mean, I think the Thunder are still in the playoffs.

They haven't played in so long.

Yeah, they're still around.

They're hanging.

I mean, I like watching the Thunder.

They're very fun.

They're very young.

But this feels like the fact that they beat the Pelicans so fast and it was like not even eventful games. I even tweeted, I was like, are the Thunder going to ever play again? Because it feels like we haven't seen them in forever.
But the Mavs, I mean, Kyrie seems happy. Kyrie seems awesome.
He seems loved. Yeah.
I think that's going to be a great series, though. I think the Thunder are gonna win but the mavs i mean they they they have i feel like they played the clippers a bunch and uh luke even said like this was personal so just taking out the clippers not having to worry about will kawaii play for the rest of the playoffs which i'm happy to have that discourse out yeah i'm just happy to be done with the clippers shit yeah right can we officially say like this is the end of the clippers shit that we have to deal with i was i was happy to be done with them their shit what like five years i think i'm done with their shit yeah i think the next iteration of the clippers it'll take a while for us to get over their shit too but like this team as it's currently formed and the expectations that came along with it i think we're officially done with the shit yeah like we could go we could go back six years and i think that exact same thing remember when blake yeah that was awkward yeah blake i was like i think i'm done with their shit that iteration of shit because that's that's basically the every clippers iteration is just like they're fun for a little bit and then you just get tired and you're like okay that's it yeah was baron davis that was one of the eras maybe yeah it's just i was done with their shit then we're done with their shit um hank are you ready for round two now that the we should talk about game seven magic calves uh this series was maybe the most disrespected series game seven game series in nba history because they played every game on nba tv i think they played three 1 o'clock games because game one, game four, and game seven were all 1 o'clock on the weekend.
They played game seven at 1 o'clock Eastern on Sunday afternoon. Why did they do that? Why did they move it back just out of respect? I think it was because of F1.
I think F1 was on ABC. So they took it away.

But the Cavs did survive.

This is one of those series

that it was, as the series went on,

it felt like

the Magic are young, they're fun.

Well, they're fun-ish. Palo's

very fun. The rest of the team

can't really shoot that well. But they're

going to be heard from later on

in the next few years. The Cavs were desperately, they need to win this series because if you remember the calves tanked to get this matchup so if they lost this series it would have been a disaster for them they go down huge in the first half they come back and win uh evan moble mobley had like 16 rebounds uh the calves are i feel like the calvess are actually better whenever Jared Allen or Evan Mobley is out and they have one true center and they don't have to play this two-center thing.
What is your level of worry for the Cleveland Cavaliers? LeBron James not walking through that door. Yeah, probably a 0.01.
Yes, cocky. They'll probably maybe win one game and have like a historic shooting night like the Heat or something but this should be a four one or four oh you do the heat series he do live rent-free in your brain like anytime a game goes bad for the celtics you're like oh it's the heat all over again no but the calves the calves aren't a threat the fans were chanting we want boston that you don't want boston that especially after tanking to get the magic and then having to go seven games with them i would say they should have like maybe they shouldn't have lost this game but it took an otherworldly performance from mitchell yeah second half they were down what 18 points yeah they were early on the very slow start they were down 18 points and then our buddy wagner franz franz had a not not his best night not his best night shooting couldn't really make or excuse me me best afternoon shooting I think he's been injured okay yeah we'll go with that I was well I was going deep into magic uh trying to to do my research but I remember before the series started reading up about it and it was like he he got injured a couple months ago and his shot has been very flat since so he hasn't been able to get the same lift So we'll go with that because he's a friend of the program.
I would say, Hank, yeah, one game that Donovan Mitchell goes nuclear because the Celtics do have the tendency to maybe take their foot off the gas for a game here or there. But, yeah, come on.
It's the Cavs. Come on.
4-1. They did go.
They went further than LeBron. That's true.
This is a dub for Cavs fans. First series that Dan Gilbert's ever won as an owner without LeBron James.
Yeah. So this is probably, it goes back to pre-LeBron that the Cavs have gone this far without LeBron.
Yeah. So it's not even, come on.
So LeBron's never, LeBron's never been out of the playoffs before the Cleveland Cavaliers until this moment.

Correct.

That's a win.

Hang the banner, Cleveland.

Yeah, as long as he's been playing.

Yes, that's a fact.

Yeah, this is, come on.

Bloodbath.

Bloodbath.

What is a bloodbath?

Is that a whomping?

We're talking five games max?

Five games max, point differential is going to be like triple digits.

Couple digits.

Triple digits.

Trip. Do the math on that.
So that means you're going to win a game.. Couple, couple, triple digits.
Trip.

Do the math on that.

So that means you're going to win a game.

You have to win a game by like 40.

Yeah.

30, 30, 30, 30.

So that's 120.

So you're going to win three, four games by 30.

Yeah.

I don't know what the math will be, but yeah, it'll be combined.

The four wins.

I wonder if triple digits.

Triple digits.

Bloodbath is worse than whomping, in my opinion.

Yeah, bloodbath is.

Triple digits is a hell of a...

That's a hell of a call.

What are you going to do if you don't get it?

Nothing.

Yeah.

I don't think...

I think you guys are safe.

I think Habs fans even...

Our guy Ohio State said that...

He said it perfectly. He was like, I'm not going to get

excited about one win. I'll only let

myself believe if we win two games.

And then he was like, but if we win game

one, then that changes. But I don't

the Cavs have to win two

games for me to be like, ooh,

okay, something's going on here. And not a lot of rest

either for them. No.
Yeah. How have

you guys played against him this year?

Better that we lost the Magic twice. So I

was rooting for the Cavs. Oh,

and the whole Florida thing. Maybe it's just a

and so on. either for them no yeah how have you guys played against him this year uh better that we we lost the magic twice so i was i was rooting for the calves oh and the whole florida thing maybe it's just a it's not the heat it's it's florida it's not the heat it's humidity yeah so you had i i want to believe hank i want to lean into the whole like triple digit series victory but also this would be just such great tape if they beat you like looking back on everything on everything you've just said.
Yeah, I mean, there's just no way.

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah, it's cocky Hanks.

You're right.

We have to embrace – we asked cocky Hank to come back,

so when cocky Hank makes a proclamation, we have to be like, credit to you.

Hank's right.

It's the Cavs.

Yeah, it's the Cavs, dude.

You got this.

Porzingis is probably fine.

Don't even play him.

Let him get healthy.

Well, he's going to miss a minimum of several games yeah minimum a minimum of several games um the other thing we should probably talk about and we're gonna we have jerry o'connell coming on to uh talk about his knicks but we didn't talk about it on thursday because we had a lot of stuff going on and we also we were taping before the full uh the everything that came out after uh but pat bev had a pretty bad thursday night he is a co-worker of ours we love pat bev um i will start with the the reporter thing i didn't think it was that bad people were reporters love defending reporters yep pat bev's been doing this all year subscribe to the pod it's very easy to hit one button uh people making it like a uh misogynistic thing crazy you've been doing it to guys too the original tweet said said this to a female reporter yeah it singled it out which like in the the short video clip that you saw it looked bad yeah but if you know that he says that to every single reporter he's been saying it all year and you can you can say's Bush League. That's fine.
But he is an eccentric guy who's been saying that all year. I have no problem with it.
What happened was the snowball of people being like, now I have to talk about this reporter like she was just hit by a bus. And being like, she's the finest reporter we've ever had.
I can't believe Pat Bev would do this. This is disgusting.
Whatever. I just didn think he's been doing it all year like it's it's just subscribe to the pod it's very easy he probably shouldn't throw a basketball at a person that's what i think really set off the win after a female reporter yeah went after he threw the ball i think the first one was at a female fan yeah and the second one hit the guy next and by the way great catch the guy.
The guy that got it the second time. You shouldn't have given the ball back.
Yeah. That was your mistake.
And then he threw it again. That lent itself to all sorts of digging into what Pat was up to that night.
Yeah. That was a mistake.
It was a mistake. He's probably going to face some sort of discipline for it.
The reporter thing, I think that it's definitely fair for somebody to be like, I don like that he says this to every reporter agree it gets old yeah you can have that take yeah 100 not going to argue with you yeah but i don't think it was like targeted to that one person right but you can't go out losing a playoff series like that and then throwing a ball at a fan a couple times he would probably tell you yeah i fucked it up and then uh my favorite is draymond talking about pat bev on his pod yeah being like i can't believe like pat's one of those guys you got to watch out for it's like you're you're literally draymond green tweet of the week was uh i i'm sorry for not saying this person's handle because i don't have it in front of me but he was like this is like osama bin laden bringing down isis tape yeah draymond talking about no class yeah the uh yeah i think he probably have thrown that ball. I'll say it.
I'll go as far as to say that you probably shouldn't throw things at fans because it opens up a pretty bad Pandora's box when it comes to fan player back and forth. And he's going to get fined.
He probably will get suspended. But it it was telling how many people were just like ready to to retire pat bev and just totally kick him when he's down it's like okay you can do that that's fine he's a friend of ours we're not gonna kick a friend when he's when he had a moment that's very regrettable uh but people were lining up to to go after pat be Well, they had like a long list of receipts

about everything they hate about Pat Bev.

Right.

It's like now I get to unload the clip.

Okay, Pat, not everybody likes Pat Bev.

I'd say that the majority of the NBA

probably doesn't like Pat Bev unless he's on their team.

Right.

And then they fucking love the guy.

Right.

And I like Pat Bev.

Right now, Pat Bev.

I'll stand up and say I like Pat Bev.

Pat Bev's on our team.

If Pat Bev was on Bleacher Report. Oh totally we'd be singing a totally different tune love although i actually i still don't think i'd have a problem with the reporter thing i i would i would stay true to what we're saying is don't throw balls at uh fans yeah but what happens is when you throw balls at fans then everything becomes fair game yeah and the way that way that you conduct yourself in the locker room afterwards, then it's like, oh, that's also weird.
Here's the thing. Next time we have Pat Pat Vaughn move, we'll ask him this to his face.
I don't think he's a great loser. He doesn't really lose well.
No. No.
Wait, now, if he had won, then... That's a good thing, though.
Yeah, show me a good loser. I'll show you a loser.
If he had won that game, then the narrative would be he was simply giving a souvenir to a fan twice in her face. Yeah.
The second one was to a guy. I think he missed.
I think he was aiming. And, okay, I'll say this.
Shouldn't have thrown it at the woman. That was bad because I don't even think she was looking.
The second toss, when the guy threw it back to him and Pat Bev chucked it at him, that guy was, I believe, wearing a jersey with no sleeves underneath. I think that's fair game.
Because you think he might be a player. Well, just any, yeah, I mean, any guy who goes no sleeves, jersey, like, you're kind of saying, hey, I'm in the mix.
I thought it was Pat Connaughton. You're hoping if you go to a game with no jersey with the jersey no no t-shirt underneath you're hoping the coach accidentally puts you in the game pat bev was just like here let's try it out buddy also shout out to the guy that was standing next to the girl that got hit with the ball the one that didn't catch the second one yeah because that guy was ready to fight after the second ball was thrown he's like i'm gonna act like that almost hit me and take it personally yeah go try to charge.
Pat Boe. There also was a weird story that he was ready to fight after the second ball was thrown.
He's like, I'm going to act like that almost hit me and take it personally and go try to charge Pat Bev. There also was a weird story that he was banned from ESPN after, which was not true.
Again, it was weird because it was like everyone was – I get it. Pat Bev is not liked by a lot of people, and everyone's just trying to kick him while he's down.
Just don't throw balls at people. Jake, as our resident nerd reporter how disgusted were you by pat pev saying subscribe to the pod uh not disgusted at all i think the only part where i had a little bit of an issue is he pushed the mic away oh never touch never touch a mic don't do that mic don't do that that mic's not yours that mic's espn property yeah but no wait jake do you subscribe to the pod yes i do okay all right good then you can answer we actually next time we should next time we have pat bev on we should unsubscribe in his face and see if he ends the interview you probably throw something yeah that would actually be great actually i i refuse to interview pat bev until he subscribes to part of my take that's facts that's what espn should do fight fire with fire just be like you're not coming on our show unless you subscribe to our entire network yeah espn plus every single thing that stephen a smith is on yeah you have to subscribe to until you have tried to watch a game and been logged out six times fuck that i hate it i fought that battle earlier today i fought it saturday i fought it friday i fight that every day my my life revolves now around me waking up coming to work doing this show and then when i'm trying to watch a game on my phone fighting with the espn website for two hours trying to get logged in through my cable subscribe i have no problem paying so much money to watch live sports just let me watch it i would pay double to espn if it just i do because I think I pay my cable and my – Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure.
I definitely pay double. I would pay more on the app just if it worked.
Right. Every time.
Right now I feel like I'm almost getting a bargain because I paid $9.99 a month or whatever to not be able to watch it. I'm just like, oh, that's the cost of doing business.
And there's some random games that just won't, no matter what, won't even play. Yeah, oh, if you don't want to watch this, well, here's a second division Welsh rugby game that's on now.
That one works just fine. Yeah, yeah, you want to watch some, like, max softball? I actually kind of do sometimes.
Yeah, hey. Sometimes I just want to see a ball move across the screen.
I noticed that you're trying to watch the Cavs magic on your phone. Instead, would you care to tune in for bass fishing for bass fishing yeah hey we have this Sam Houston State basketball game from December you want to watch that again you know what if Pat Bev had just said to the producer from ESPN I'm not answering your question because your app fucking sucks yeah I think we'd all there'd be a groundswell of support for Pat Bev let's go Pat um but yeah I I subscribe to his pot because we'll see what he has to say i don't think he's i don't think i've done a new episode with rome yet but also shouldn't have thrown either ball second ball i'm okay with just because the guy didn't have sleeves he caught it shouldn't shouldn't throw in the first ball not good and then he may or may not have should have touched the should have touched the mic fine with that rudy gobert touched all those mics and then the world shut down you never know facts you talking about rudy gobert big three big three yeah big three of the big three of the big three fame uh yeah so we did have to talk about that because uh we like i said we didn't see the we recorded before the microphone thing we did see the best i actually there were two clips going around because i saw just the one where he got it back and threw it at the guy yeah you didn't see what happened before i didn't see the woman when i saw the woman one after we taped i was like oh that's that's not good yeah yeah you shouldn't do that the first time i saw it we were watching the game live and i thought i saw something streak across the street the screen and so i texted liam blutman and i was like hey can you find this clip i think something got thrown he sent back to me it was just pat chucking the ball at the guy with no sleeves i was like oh yeah uh thanks for saying that not gonna post it okay yeah thank you appreciate that um okay hank you were in the house game seven on the ice i was in the house Shout out to game time.

Okay, so Hank, you were there. Set the scene.
We're going to talk to Biz in the Maple Leafs side of it, but set the scene. Hockey fans are the best.
There's no better atmosphere than... You just compliment yourself? Well, yeah, but when you're in a stadium when it's just hockey fans, Game 7, tension's high, people are going nuts.
You love that Pasta got called out after Game 6, said Pasta needs to show up, and him hitting the game-winner in overtime was beautiful to see. People are not giving us any chance against the Panthers.
I don't know why, but I think it's going to be good revenge from last year. They have that top of mind.
They blew that series. They're the underdogs, the scrappy underppy underdogs it's just great time to be a boston sports fan it's alternating alternating nights this week bruins celtics bruins celtics bruins that's pretty good for you seven days straight you're gonna love that did you see the stat about the maple leafs of uh the teams that have never played an nhl game in the month of june the kraken, they've been around for what? Two, three years? Three years.
The Wild. Okay.
The Blue Jackets. They have Anthony Edwards.
The Arizona Coyotes aren't even a team anymore. Don't exist.
And then the Toronto Maple Leafs. That's the full list of teams that have never played in June before.
1967. They won 11 of them or something before that? Yeah.
They've got a lot of banners. They've got a lot of banners.
Swayman and the stats, the goalie stats of Swayman's series. Well, Wohl got hurt.
He didn't play. Turned out to be true.
He was the difference maker. He was the key to the series.
He nailed it. Wohl getting hurt in a meaningless goal in the last second of game six was so Maple Leafs.
The other thing that was so Maple Leafs was them scoring in the third period and being like, this time's different, and then the Bruins scoring like 60 seconds later. Like, no, it's not.
This is not different at all. And then the game-winning goal, that pass was insane.
It was beautiful.

All the way down the ice, off the board, right to Pasta, finishes it.

I have to imagine that they know their rank,

and they know where the different parts of the ice, where it bends around.

Like, okay, there might be a spot that's different in each arena that might carry them off different ways.

That was intentional, completely intentional.

It's like old Italians playing bocce.

Yeah, they know the court.

Yeah.

I asked for Leafs fans to tell me how they're feeling after the game i'll just read a couple um that i thought were good uh preston said it's like when you buy 50 50 tickets you know you have no chance but can't help but think maybe this time is different it's never different never that's a pretty good uh explanation this one was good braden mccarthy, imagine getting your balls kicked in so much that it eventually kind of feels right.

That's what it feels like.

Sickos.

It's like, oh, I can't get off unless I get my balls kicked in.

And then the Nacho Man said, it's the same thing every year.

Deep down, we all knew we were going to come back just to lose in the most heartbreaking fashion possible.

And the last one, Berezin's Loose Helmet said said we are so numb you could bottle our blood and use it as prescription painkiller yeah you have to wonder if if toronto fans just secretly hate the spring yeah like hate hate the month of may hate the month of april because they associate it so closely with losing hockey games like everybody else is pumped for april and may It's one of the best times of year. It's like summer's basically here.
Yeah. It feels good.
Not Maple Leafs fans. They're like, oh, yeah, when it's 72 degrees outside, that's when I actually feel the worst in my entire life.
Yeah. And it felt like, especially last year, the Bruins going up 3-1 and losing.
Like, this was – the Leafs finally had the team – like, the Bruins have been fading still. You just can't do it.
Same result. Yeah.
Same result. Now you're going against the Panthers, Hank.
Revenge. Revenge.
Underdogs. We also had the Stars and Knights, which was an incredible series.
Great series. Seven.
Stars win in Game 7. I'm addicted to betting unders in Game 7s.
I'll just say that. Because teams other out too much they just don't score uh but you don't want to make the first mistake that was our guys uh whitney and biz and ra they they are they know their puck because i remember having the conversation with with wit like two weeks ago by the way congratulations he just had his third child uh he was, the stars and knights will be an absolute bloodbath of a series.
And either team could win the Stanley Cup, but they have to face each other in the first round. And when the knights went up 2-0 in Dallas, I was like, oh, he doesn't know puck.
And then it was exactly what he said. It was just an absolute war of a series.
And both teams are really good, but the Stars were a little bit better. Yeah, it's like the Avs and then these two teams, the favorites to win out of the West.
So Dallas is doing the same thing. Hank, both your cities.
Dallas has got the Mavs and the Stars going every other night. Yeah, New York as well.
The Rangers look good. Yeah, the Rangers.
They look really good. Boston, New York, hockey and basketball.

Wow.

At the same time.

The conference finals would be incredible.

Just going back and forth between the two cities.

Switch.

Night after night after night.

And Colorado.

And Colorado's got it as well.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Damn.

Rich keep getting richer.

That'd be pretty fun.

It's time-lapse season.

It is.

Oh, I love a good time-lapse.

Yeah.

Got so many options. They put the wood down.
Then they put the ice down. Then the wood down again.
Then they speed it up. That shit gets me going.
Big time time-lapse. What else we got? Kentucky Derby.
Yeah. The horses.
We had a great time on Saturday. Had a great time.
Remember Spuds Through the Horse? Spuds Through the Horse. Spuds Through the Horse.
Right, Jake? It was fun. yeah.
Memes remembers that too, yeah. Spuds through the horse.
Hey, don't use the crop on them. Oh, shit.
That's from PFT's party. Me, Jake, Memes, Shane, Pug, we were all there.
PFT was a great host. Great host.
Thank you, Jake. Pug shut the party down.
Pug and Shane stayed up until the wee hours of the morning. They were spuds through the horse.
They were spudding. You guys wouldn't get it.
It's an inside joke. Yeah.
Sounds awesome. Yeah, it's great.
I'm happy for you guys. Sounds like you had a great time.
Fantastic time. You were there? Yeah.
I was there. And you know what? I showed up with my daughter, had her dressed to the nine.
She had a hat on, a purse. Fucking great.
She came to PFT's house and she just goes, can we look at all the rooms? And I was like, okay. And then we just went and opened every door in his house.
She was like Dwight Schrute at the house party episode, going around testing structural integrity. We looked at every room.
It was fucking nuts. I was dressed as a horse.
I didn't expect anybody else to show up in costume. Titus was the first one over, and he came over dressed as a jockey.
Yeah. And we looked like the slowest jockey-horse combination ever.
He was like twice my height. Also- That would never work.
I don't know if you ate the cupcakes we brought, but I'm going to need them back. Yeah, I did.
Okay. They're all gone.
Yeah, because we brought cupcakes, and then we didn't eat any, and my daughter woke up this morning. She was like, where are our cupcakes? I was like, no, we brought them to a party she's like but what why why don't we have the cupcakes now yeah um but yeah uh spuds are the horse yeah we'll always have that you guys want you guys want us to tell you the inside jokes what's the horse it's at one of the two of your expenses yeah but you have to guess which one it's me no he actually didn't talk about you guys at all yeah no i texted uh these guys before i was like i'm just gonna say spuds are the horse we didn't come up with an inside joke damn but it hurt for a second didn't it no i was curious yeah i was thinking about it i do we did have a moment where it was just the it was me jake memes pug pft shane and we're just like isn't it nice not having Hank and Max here? It was nice.
The vibes were good. Yeah.
There was no secret hatred in there. Good time.
I bet it was worse. Yeah, I missed you guys a lot.
I actually did. But, yeah.
So, the Kentucky Derby was thrilling. Imagine having one of your favorite guests in Randy Moss on the show, asking him for long shots, him saying, oh, this horse that actually has the same name as myself.

You should maybe think about it and then not betting.

Yeah, it's tough.

It's tough.

Dan was, you just can't.

I was just so, I never win the Derby, but to have it be Mystic Dan and just sit there and people were tweeting me being like, Mystic Dan, you must have bet it. Nope.
Not even thinking about betting it. Fierceness with an all-time choke job.
Ah, that was an awesome finish. It was great.
Three-way photo finish. Yeah.
Crazy, crazy. Mystic Dan.
I felt bad for our guy Rapoli, strong Italian. But yeah, I really wish I had bet that horse.
What did they do before before the photo finish was there just a guy up in the booth with binoculars and he was like i think this horse was fast i think the photo finish was like that was the first photo ever it's like people always make the mistake of saying that porn is the is the seed that grows like every single bit of video technology yeah it's actually gambling and horse yeah horse racing it's like we got to figure out a way to tell who won this horse race and then a guy invented a camera yeah pretty much what are you gonna say max jason worth looked incredible he did look cool with his hair incredible i was by the way max i put so much money on his horse doorknock to finish in second just a uh a philadelphia horse coming in second would have been amazing i mean he's also a gnat yeah but you know he's he's a philly. He didn't even like being a gnat when he was a gnat.
He's a philly. He's a philly.
It was a great event. Great party.
Kentucky Derby is the beginning of summer, it feels like. Mm-hmm.
Unbelievable race. Mystic Dan.
Fuck. So now is the conversation, like, could he win the Triple Crown? Now you have to immediately pivot to that.
No, because he's got to go up against Baffert. Yeah, that's right.
Baffert's going to steal the show. I hope Baffert wins two-thirds of it.
Yeah. No.
And then it's always big ass. Yeah.
Yeah. We'll have Randy Moss back on, and I'm going to, like, we wrote down he did win the Oaks.
Yeah, he gave us the first and second place in the Oaks. Yeah, so people who listen, they know that Randy Moss knows his horses, but the fact that he did say Mystic Dan, and I was basically, what's his name, Kieran McColkin from Succession, just looking at the rocket blow up and putting my phone back in my pocket.
Mystic Dan won, and I just looked at it. It was like, everyone's tweeting me that I, not only did did Randy Moss tell us but his name is Dan and I just put my phone in my pocket and I was like alright I'm just going to go about the rest of my day.
Yeah I mean it does feel like an easy win that you should have had. If there was a horse named Hank the easiest.
If there was a horse named Hank Hank definitely would have bet on it no matter what. Well there was a horse named Hank.
He was one of the worst horses ever. Dave named one of his horses Handsome Hank.
Was he good? He fucking sucked. Did they? Remember that one race that he, it actually was.
Still running. It was like 25 seconds before he finished.
Did they put it down afterwards? Did they pull like a. It was a French horse.
A cricket the dog and just shoot it? Yeah, it didn't last much longer after that. No, he was a bad horse.
Handsome Hank. It was tough.
Okay, anything else from Sports Weekend before we do Who's Back? Canelo fight was awesome. It was...
Brooks. Oh, did Brooks? Brooks won.
Yeah, we can steal the Who's Backs. That's fine.
He won, but it was a stacked field as far as the Live Tour goes. The leaderboard looked good.
This is the first weekend where I've looked at a Live leaderboard and then looked at the PGA leaderboard and been like, well, this just isn't even close. Yeah.
Well, this would burn also my who's back. But Hank, would you, as the number one live head here, would you like to have a statement about them using fake tweets in the broadcast? Yeah, not great.
I don't know why they would do that. Maybe just because of the the time difference there wasn't a lot of people tweeting about live so they had to just come up with something but they used a real twitter account jjmhabbs and they posted a tweet saying let's go smash gc get on that podium make it happen bk and then then when you look up his Twitter account, he's a diehard Vikings fan,

and he's never tweeted anything like that.

Did he respond to it?

I don't.

I'll look.

Yeah, check out his timeline, see if he addressed it.

But, yeah, what are you doing, Hank?

You got to get your guy.

You need to tweet.

Yeah, you should be the only one that's featured on those.

Like, you need to set a reminder for yourself to tweet. Yeah, you should be the only one that's featured on those.
You need to set a reminder

for yourself to tweet

every single time Liv is playing.

All I know

is we would never do this over at PGA Tour Live.

No, we wouldn't.

Wells Fargo this week.

Brooks won his fourth event. That's a record,

by the way. All-time record.

Last

tweet from JJM Habs is from 2023 talking about jaron hall yep like so probably not him yeah probably not him that did this uh yeah it's uh that's a bad look it's a bad look when you have to astroturf social media just cut the segment entirely or just like create don't even put like create a fake like app that you're posting it from there's a million there's a million social media apps you can just be like this person said this like what who knows what is twitter tiktok like where they said it from what muhammad bin salman should do is just literally pay people to tweet about hank anyone to tweet about hank you just schedule one For the next tournament, like loving the action. Yeah, you let live down.
Because you, Hank, people don't know this about Hank. He loves live so much.
We'll be sitting in the gambling cave, and he'll make someone change the TV, and they'll just be like, oh, there's a tournament going on in the middle. Like we were watching horse.
What were we watching on Thursday? Oh, we were watching. Sixers.
We were watching game six.

Nick Sixers.

And all of a sudden, it looked like a video game popped up on the TV.

It was Hank watching live golf.

Yeah, we've got six TVs.

If it's on, I'm going to throw it on.

He actually did that.

He took off Bruins Leafs game six.

Because he wanted that to be a loss.

I just wanted it to be a loss.

He didn't want to see them win.

That is false.

Put it on live. Yeah, so you should really consider tweeting about Liv and get that bag, Hank.
It all worked out in the end. Did you see Phil Mickelson's threat that he has? No.
He's pretty much on behalf of everybody else that's on the Liv Tour. Phil Mickelson is threatening a boycott of major tournaments if they don't go ahead and make exemptions for the best players on the Liv tour because those exemptions they're running out so if you won a pga championship three years ago that doesn't necessarily last for a lifetime i don't know what the different rules are for specific majors but feels like what would it look like if just none of us showed up at the next one and all protested i don't think that phil ran that by everybody else i think that's just phil shooting from the.
Carl Anthony Big Three vibes. Yeah, he's like...
Yeah, me, Brooks. Me, Brooks, Bryson.
Jon Rahm. We're just not going to show up.
All of us. Can you imagine? You couldn't even call that a championship.
I mean, he's trying to make something happen. Not without Lefty.
I think Phil is just... Because he had the whole live controversy a couple years ago.
He's just looking for his next thing. Well just he he kind of enjoyed being the bad guy right and he's like yeah i'll be a fucking bad guy like he bought the leather jacket he's what what is he gonna return that leather jacket he's the bad guy he's bad guy you can't go back you can't face turn right uh okay slice it anything else from from the sports weekend was a great great sports weekend it's an incredible sports weekend i oh i i have a new who's back we are going to get to uh the roast of tom brady at the end yeah i got another who's back too okay so we've reloaded our who's back let's do that ever had one of those days when it's just too cold to keep working nah neither has ariat ariat work jackets and boots are packed with all the cold stopping waterproof protection you need to get the job done under any conditions so you can take any job out there and always deliver check out Ariat in your local workwear retailer or visit Ariat.com slash work to get 10 off your first order when you sign up for email and weather whatever in Ariat work Gear.
Who's back of the week is Rat Beef.

Yes.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar had a very busy weekend.

Drake released a track, Family Matters, Friday night.

Kendrick Lamar released a diss track basically 30 minutes after.

Yeah, he gave them no time.

Instant response.

And then Kendrick did the back-to-back and dropped another track the next day. Calling him a pedophile.
Calling him a pedophile. Calling his whole crew pedophiles.
A lot of bad stuff. Also said that he had an 11-year-old daughter, which people are saying that Drake actually said it.
Drake planted it. Ooh.
And basically caught him in a lie. Like, put that out there that he has an 11-year-old daughter.
Kendrick took the bait, said it. But does Drake receipt for that that he planted that you would think that if you're pulling sort of like mastermind scheme that you would have like here's the evidence of how i planted it right now i need i need a i need someone to battle rap pft and talk about chris fuck that fuck you don't want that smoke i'll just put chris on the track i'll put chris on

the track and fucking destroy you but uh with with the pedophile thing on friday night when kendrick responded said uh you've got an 11 year old daughter plus you're pedophile then drake just posted on instagram i'm definitely not the father of an 11 year old daughter uh did not address the did not address the big one yeah he also yeah he said in he put out a song tonight the heart part six where he said if i was a pedophile i'd have already been arrested which you know there's definitely pedophiles you never want to say if i was no he spent like three quarters of the response just being like i am not a pedophile i'm so much not a pedophile at one point i think he said i'm too famous to be a pedophile oh which is i don't know if drake reads the news no if he's much of a newshound no and studies what happens in in modern day politics and entertainment yeah no famous pedophiles yeah he also brought up millie bobby brown by name even though kendrick hadn't that's just like an internet thing that oh so he yeah kind of said like it's weird like your guys relationship is weird what's going on here so so kendrick was like you're a pedophile and drake was like no i'm not i'm just friends with millie bobby brown right when she was 17 he was like it's not no that wasn't pedophilia uh i just liked her as a friend nothing happened i did see one guy who's uh drake stan be like uh all you idiots need to look up the age of consent in uh canada which is that's good that's good good defense don't do that yeah that's one thing you don't want to google what are you planning a vacation don't do that all right so i have a question um because i'm admittedly washed old uh but i've seen everyone talking about it and i've at least tried to keep up also i'll say quickly before drake his first song he put out friday had subtitles which was great oh yeah for all for all raps is it i should just write letters back to each other they should just they should just tweet at each other so when i say i know what you're saying hank because it does it does take you some time to like listen back back back rehear every single line being able to read it real time is definitely easier to understand all the like double entendres but also isn't that kind of a try hard move to like spell out what you're saying so that people can read it i don't know like isn't half the fun like digging in on your own and listening back to it?

Spelling it out, that's great for people like me that like to listen to Drake on mute and don't actually enjoy his music that much.

But doing that feels like you're really rubbing it in everyone's face

as opposed to letting people do the work for themselves.

As someone who does subtitles for every show I watch, I appreciate it.

Well, it's not Peaky Blinders.

It's a diss track.

Well, but it's still hard to follow everything that's for me personally anything um that that one line the you're trying to strike a chord and it's probably a minor a minor that's pretty good that was good that's good all right so i have a question just said d sus who that's another chord i have a question for you and anyone can answer this answer this. So I've tried to follow along.

Tell me if this is the, like, too long, didn't read for people of my age and stupidity and also washed and not understanding any of this. essentially from what I understand

everyone

or most people in the rap world

kind of don't like Drake

and Kendrick Lamar is just the first

craziest Everyone or most people in the rap world kind of don't like Drake and Kendrick Lamar is just the first craziest, most accomplished person to finally just say it out loud. And everyone's like, yeah, dude, we've been thinking this for a long time.
Well, it started with the Metro Boom and Future album, which was basically just a diss album and that was the first feature that was the first

kendrick lamar feature that kind of broke everything open uh but yeah it seems like everyone's coming out rick ross all the rappers right like it feels like drake is losing this even though there obviously are diehard drake fans and be like no he's he's doing great but it it feels like kendrick lamar is Drake is responding to to kendrick lamar but kendrick lamar is the way he's uh dropping these things is basically he's speaking for a lot more people that just haven't said anything to drake in a long time which has to be the worst feeling ever to be like someone's dropping a diss track at you and it's essentially talking for a bunch of people being like we've been saying this shit behind your back, and now we're saying it out loud. And then Drake can only come back at Kendrick Lamar, but it's like, wait, does everyone hate me? That's got to suck.
I think Kendrick's your favorite rapper's favorite rapper. Right.
And Drake is, the thing that Drake always has over everybody is like, I'm way more successful in terms of money, in terms of charts, in terms of songs that are played in clubs that people listen to. Drake will always point to that.
And again, I'm very new to this too. So I'm just beginning to wrap my head around the history of the two of these guys going back and forth.
But I feel like anytime you make a song that's in response to somebody calling you a pedophile and your response is, nuh-uh, I think you lost right and the and also the smartest person the real winner of this entire beef is j cole because j cole was in it and then he went on stage and he was like no i'm kind of a pussy so i don't want to do this and then everyone was like this guy's a pussy so he's my he's my new goat he's the goat he's the goat for recognizing that he did not want to be anywhere involved. Involved in this.
Yes. Is my assessment accurate-ish? So then if what I'm saying is somewhat accurate, how is anyone saying that Drake is winning? Just that Drake stands.
Because, again, there can't be a worse feeling than having someone drop a diss track against you and essentially be like, the whole world is saying this, but I'm finally the guy who can say it because Kendrick Lamar has enough status, power, crazy enough, all those things to finally say it. And everyone's like, yeah, he's right.
You lost. He lost.
It's basically everyone like, everyone kind of hates you, and we're finally going to say it. That sucks.
The one thing you can point to that Drake did a flawless execution of on Friday night, he just kept calling him short. Yeah.
And that's a good bar. That's worse than pedophile.
You can't come back from you're short because he has receipts of you being short.

Right.

They're called pictures.

Right.

And no matter what, I could break somebody down.

And then if they just respond with, yeah, but you're short, I'm like, fuck.

Yeah.

How do you know?

Yeah.

And then you lose.

Kendrick should probably, so Drake faked an 11-year-old so that Kendrick would talk about it.

Kendrick should fake a murderer or pedophilia so that he'll stop talking about him being short it's true it's way more preferable just get it that way yeah you're a pedophile well at least i'm not short that's what drake should have said yeah what were you gonna say max i there it's interesting that that's the thing that you you took from that what the short yeah obviously i'm joking about the short. Oh, okay.
I just wanted to make sure that was clear. But it does hurt.
But you can always say. We don't actually think being short is worse than being a pedophile, Max.
Is this your first show, Max? Nope. Okay.
All right. So how does this end? Somebody's got to die.
Yeah, I don't think anyone's going to die. Knock on wood um i knocked on it for you i feel like kendrick's gonna release another song and it's probably gonna be just even more shit that people don't like about drake i hope he keeps doing it i hope this is now kendrick lamar's entire career we're just like every week he has a new song about drake being a pedophile is is this going to like affect drake's like legacy future it feels like we're getting to the point where people are turning on him.
Again, I'm very much not in the know, but just reading a little bit of the tea leaves, people are coming out and being like, yeah, what he's saying, everyone has thought this for a long time. Yeah, but he lost.
Pusha T bodied him, too too back in the day, and that didn't really affect him. So if he just keeps doing hits.
Putting on music, yeah. He's still going to be the biggest guy.
He's going to need an eight-pack. He's going to have even better abs.
He's just not going to have as many features. He's definitely walking around his house right now not happy.
No. Very upset.
And it feels like Kendrick's walking around his house being like, I've got him. Got him got him got him well drake's whole thing is that kendrick's manager is actually the father of his child so that's probably not the best oh that one hurts that hurts yeah yeah that definitely hurts but you can also just lie that's what's great about rap beefs is you can just make something up and if you say it then everyone's like oh's not his kid.
Okay. That would be wild if Drake had it.

Because that was the push of T1 when Drake's first child.

Hiding a child.

Adonis.

Got it.

Man.

So that's PMT gets beefy with it.

Yeah.

Also tough, yeah.

The one of Kendrick's tracks was just like an entire verse talking to his child being like, your dad's a piece of shit.

Damn. Like, I'm sorry, your dad is your is your dad yeah i think there were multiple verses yes yeah it was like sorry it was each kid one was each kid and then one was to his mom being like i'm sorry that your son sucks oh my god it was pretty bad again j cole winner yeah winner and i i think i i'm gonna say kendrick lamar is winning right now.
For sure. Yeah.
Yeah, I think in the song he put out, that Drake put out on Friday, he said, like, this will be my last response because I'm going on vacation. So pretty much like out of office.
Oh, yeah. This most recent one was like an out of office reply that he sent.
Yeah, in the last one, didn't he say, like, are we done yet? Yeah, are we done? I think this is over. I think we can all agree we both won.
Yeah. Co-winners.
Drake's just waiting for someone to break this fight up. I mean, the cover art that he had on the most recent one, which is just a picture of Drake's house with all the sex offender tags.
Yeah. You're on the sex offender registry looking at it.
That's tough. It's pretty bad.
Okay. Pretty bad.
All right. Well, thank you, Hank.
Appreciate it. PFT, you're who's back.
My who's back of the week is Baby Gronk. Oh,k oh yeah because he releases top 30 teams that he might go to uh i don't know if he has any actual offers i'm gonna guess that he doesn't right he had 30 teams it's probably way more than 30 yeah like 60 so we narrowed it down from 60 to 30 and it's just every good football team out there so baby gronk's dad wants to know where you think baby gronk's gonna go i could see him just i could see baby gronk going to uh like an alabama or georgia or texas but his dad just like pays for his tuition and then he tells his son to try to walk on and then it's like baby gronk's first practice yeah and he never actually plays football yeah he just shows up and he's like baby gronk giving giving water to the tight ends i like georgia tech made it there.
That's a big dub for Georgia Tech. You got to throw a couple in there.
I was actually expecting like a Vandy. Yeah.
You always got to throw Vandy in there. Maybe his grades are good enough.
Yeah. But besides that, yeah, it seems like Georgia Tech, big, big win for South Carolina being featured on this list too.
Okay. That's pretty cool.
Michigan State. Yep.
That's good for that program. I mean, if you're Georgia Tech, you should probably offer baby Gronk a contract.
Yeah, why not? Right? Like that's probably going toigan state yeah that's good for that program i mean if you're if you're georgia tech you should probably offer baby grunk a contract yeah why not right like that's probably going to be the one that he chooses one of yeah what like a school should offer him right now nebraska's on there that's good that's good for them we'll probably be like that's worth a couple that's my guy yeah um all right my uh who's back of the week is baseball ums back again we We had on Saturday the White Sox and the Cardinals played through.

They had a three-hour rain delay to come back for the bottom of the tenth.

Bases loaded two outs, and the umps saw four pitches,

including a strike three call to end of the game that was not a strike

and was essentially like, I want to get the fuck out of here. But they waited three hours for the ump to do that.
Umps rule. Umps are awesome.
Umps rule. They've had a banner year in umpiring so far.
They really have. The fast ejections.
They're back. They're all the way back.
Aaron Boone getting kicked out for something a fan said. Yeah, it was Angel Cabrera just doing Angel Cabrera things nonstop.
Yeah, it was Hernandez. oh yeah yeah cabrera's a golfer i always on hell i always screw that one up cb buckner was the name of this uh yeah was this ump it ruled uh jake your who's back of the week my who's back of the week is jj watt he's hinting at a possible return he said at his charity softball game i told d'amico last year don't call unless you absolutely need it but if you ever do call i'll be there i knows not to call unless he absolutely needs it but this is the last year i'll tell him that do you think they absolutely needed it against the ravens maybe maybe didn't get the call then i don't know what's going maybe it's like will anderson gets hurt they call jj and he comes in halfway through the season i don't know if I like this because it's like he's basically saying that

don't call unless I can be the hero. Yeah, if you need somebody to save you, you can reach out.
JJ hasn't played in a while. I don't think he's going to be that good.
In defense of JJ, so I don't really love the like, oh, I'll do it only if I'm the hero here. But if I were aj watt or tom brady i would definitely spend three or four years hinting at comebacks because that's fun he said that this is the last year he's going to train to be in shape like that that's fun though to just be like well i could you know just so that people could tell like i it's a it's an egocentric move but i think i think you kind of have to do it if you're that good.
He should have done it with the Steelers last year. I know.
Filled in for TJ. Yeah.
Yeah. So he might come back to the Texans.
I guess so. Maybe.
What if it's just for literally a one-day contract? Yeah. Retire.
Retire as a Texan. It would rock, though, if he came back for a playoff game and had three sacks.
Wow, then Ravel wouldn't have done that thing for his last game. Oh, that's true.
Oh, yeah, cut off all the special needs kids. Good point.
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay, good who's back. Let's do our interviews.

Why'd you hesitate when you said it?

I was going to say good friend or best friend, but I did that for Jerry O'Connell,

who's coming on after you.

So that felt redundant.

It is late.

Biz is, for people who say biz doesn't work, it's 140 where he is right now.

He just got finished doing Game 7 TNT.

Yeah, staring at tits.

I was staring at tits behind the Dallas Stars head coach all night.

You guys see those?

Yeah, there's some honkers.

Yeah, those are nice tits.

And then you did Chicklets.

Go listen to Chicklets.

And now you're doing this with us.

I guess I wanted to start with your Wonderwall, Jacob Wall. Because after all, you're my Joseph Wall.
Joseph, yeah. Sorry.
Do you think you cursed the Leafs singing that song before game seven and then having him not play in game seven? And also are you feeling as a Leafs fan yet again you look like a fool and your season it just evaporates in the most embarrassing sad fashion yes I feel like I cursed them I feel like I'm a mush I feel like I should separate myself from the team and then maybe they'll have some success but now I say that they haven't had much success for a very very very long time including against the boston bruins who they haven't beat in a playoff series since 1959 um it's crazy because toronto is also the most valuable franchise so not to say they can just go spend more money on the cap but they have all these resources and try to make themselves better and they just haven't been able to find a way to do it and they're cursed yeah and and the goalie getting hurt did he actually get hurt in the last point one second of game six they haven't came out and announced it but i would assume that's where he injured himself which is crazy because like what if they

don't go up to nothing then maybe they don't get sloppy in the last 15 seconds to allow an easy backdoor play and then maybe he's not sprawling out to try to preserve the shutout well in that case he still would have but i don't think they would have been as lazadaisical is the word yep That is the word.

It was six on five in the dying minute.

And it felt like they were kind of fucking around a little bit because william nylander had made it to nothing yeah whereas if it was one nothing you you have to bear it out you gotta block shots and stand the lane where there probably would have been a defenseman there so just the fact that they went up two and then broke down defensively on the six on five

he has to sprawl out he must have pulled something not a word was talked about this by the way um and then all of a sudden an hour and a half before puck drop Merle's and it comes in our group text and says Wol's not playing I just heard from an agent that he he pulled something and got injured in game six.

And I'm like, shut the fuck up, Murr.

You stir in the pot.

So he was pretty adamant about it so i took to twitter and i said i just heard the worst fucking rumor going but i'm not even gonna give it the oxygen just to kind of stir it up a little bit well all of a sudden all these insiders start texting me they're like you heard about wall and i'm like they just haven't dropped the bomb yet because they haven't gotten the clearance so as soon as they come out for warm up is the first guy would have been Samsonov where people would have been like who the fuck is Joseph Wall why isn't Wall walking out of the tunnel but now because I'm tweeting all that they probably got pressure and then Elliot Friedman finally drops the bomb that all three goalies were on the first bus for the Toronto Maple Leafs to dress and potentially take warm-up. So the minute that that hit the airways, all of a sudden, people became aware that their starting goalie, who played out of his mind and who has ice in his veins, was not going to play game seven after that fucking sprawl out where the shutout was broke with 0.01 seconds left.
Yeah, it's crazy. That's how long we're talking here.
But considering game seven played out the way it did, it wasn't a goaltending issue. It was the fucking one big dog in particular, in my opinion, laying a big egg who makes 11 million bucks,

and then obviously all the other fucking soap opera bullshit that went on through the first round with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

William Nylander, who is a 100-point player for the Toronto Maple Leafs,

plays all 82 games coming into playoffs.

All of a sudden, he's not available for game one.

He missed the first three games of the series

because I guess he got hit a certain way and he was dealing with like migraines and shit he couldn't see properly so the fact that he didn't sit out the last couple games after what had happened it happened just to be cautious right no played the full 82 he was also trying to get his 100 point he ended up with 99 and also austin matth Matthews was on the 70 goal chase, which hasn't happened in how many other years. So I felt like some of the, maybe the personal achievements were taking priority at the end, which you don't want.
Anyway, they lose William Nylander first three games, and then all of a sudden he's back game four. All right, awesome.
Marner's been playing like shit. He's going to fucking wake up.
We got Willie back. We got Austin Matthews, obviously.
And then halfway through that game, Austin Matthews down the tunnel. The 69 goal scorer, giggity, this whole season is now down the tunnel.
And then he misses the next two games because I think that he ended up, they haven't came out with it yet, looked like he fell down with uh with mcavoy and probably a first or second degree mcl knee sprain so he ended up playing game seven but he came through with a big assist william nylander got the goal when william nylander played he played great but mitch marner didn't show up he makes too much money i think he's gone and i that they might let the coach go. So I know I just went long-winded about this shit show, but I think if they're fully healthy the whole series, they win it, and now it's just going to be a fucking gong show.
And you talked about the 2-0 lead. It's interesting because we've always said on the show, 2-0, most dangerous lead in hockey.
That's what you always say growing up.

I heard, I think Weeks he said this.

He said that 3-1 was actually the most dangerous lead.

So in your opinion, what's worse?

Well, you motherfucker.

You're trying to trick me.

No, no, no.

Two goals.

Now you're trying to say is a 2-0 lead better than having a 3-1 lead? Yeah, which is the most dangerous lead? They're both two goals. I thought you were trying to fuck with me there.
I would probably say the 3-1 because the other team already has a cookie. Like maybe their offensive player already got one so they're feeling it.
Whereas, yeah, 2-0, like everybody's dry. Nobody's got any confidence built up.
So I like the 3- one yeah yeah the three one is a worse lead to have okay so what last thing on the leafs because i want to talk about some other series and we have the second round now fully set um what like do you just as a lease fan you just expect this every year like is there any fix is there ever going to be a different outcome yeah i think that i think they have to build for for hockey playoffs any team that's in the playoffs right now big cat you look at like how their back ends built and you know how how deep their forward lines are like at the end of the day buddy i don't know if there's like a soccer team or a basketball team to compare it to but we're in a hard cap system and they got four guys who are making a lot of fucking money right and one of them is john taveras he was the captain they brought back and got back from the islanders remember that was that was big yeah yeah he's sleeping in the uh in in the maple leafs uh bed yeah that was a picture that came out but he's from Toronto. He wanted to play for the Leafs.
And he didn't tell the Islanders at the end of his contract that he wanted to move on. He's like, no, and they assumed he was going to stay.
Long story short, they signed him as a free agent, and he's making $11 million. I think on a Stanley Cup team, he's a third-line center.
So they got these four guys making half of what the cap is, and, buddy, how many times do you think they scored three goals this series, and they're known as this offensive team with these fucking offensive powerhouses? Right. Hockey gets hard in playoffs.
You need that money to spend on big defensemen who are going to fucking hold people away from your net. It's a physical game.
These guys fizzle out every fucking time come playoffs. One fucking power play goal, Big Cat.
That's crazy. In 23 to 25 chances.
The Oilers do that rolling out of bed. Bro, the fucking Oilers could send four guys out there and have a better power play.
The Oilers over the first round series against the LA Kings the last three years have had a 50% power play. That's insane.
50% clip rate. Best power play playoff or best playoff power play we've ever seen.
That's insane. Lethal.
Lethal. You got Shaq Hyman, the net front guy in the power play for the Oilers.
Shaq Hyman, baby. The other Game 7 we watched, and I gave you guys credit earlier in the show that we just taped because you and Witt said this.
They were like, the Knights and the Stars could both win the Stanley Cup, but they have to play each other in the first round. It's going to be a war.
And it was a war.

It looked like it was going to be easy for the Knights, and it was a war, and the Stars

end up winning.

So two questions.

One is, how is this going to be like for the Stars in the next round?

Was that a beat-up series where it's going to be tough against a team like the Avalanche?

And then I also want you to explain to us your rivalry with the Glassbanger.

All right, let's go into the hockey first, and then we'll talk about Glassbanger. I love it.
Dallas, yes, that's going to take a lot of wind out of their sails. That was a big boy series.
Both teams built to win the Stanley Cup, and then Vegas even loaded up at the deadline. I call them the cap circumcisors because that Mark Stone, their captain, who's an unreal playoff player, he's their heart and soul guy, good 200-foot game, crafty in front of the net, going to the net front and taking punishment, that's where you're going to score your goals come playoff time.
The last three years went on long-term IR. So then that money doesn't count against the cap for the end of the season.
So they're able to go make these deadline moves to add these big pieces. So by the time the playoffs roll around, they got like a hundred to over a hundred million dollars in cap money on the ice, but because they snuck them in with the LTIR money, anyway, they found a way to manipulate the system.
And it just so happens that Mark Stone ended up getting injured on the same time in the last few years, and then boom, game one, he's ready to go for playoffs. So anyway, so Dallas had to go up against these guys who ended up getting the eighth seed.
Dallas had home ice. They dropped the first two games of the series to the defending Stanley Cup champions who are built like a wagon.
They go on the road, and they ended up winning the next three. So at the end of the day, they had to fucking power through this very physical series where it was hard to get to the net front, hard to create anything, and they found a way to grind through it with a few young studs in their lineup, this Stankhoven kid, and then I think a superstar has been born in Wyatt Johnson.
He's just this young kid on an entry-level contract, and I think that he helped them pull through the series. He ended up getting a clutch one in Game 7, but now they've got to go face Colorado.
I got Dallas in 7 again, but that's why I don't think Dallas, who's a Stanley Cup team, can get to the finals because they've got to go through the juggernaut, which was the Vegas Golden Knights. They squeak one out 2-1 in Game 7.
Now they've got to go against the high-flying offense of the Colorado Avalanche, whose third line's playing unbelievable. Their goaltenders figured out.
They've got an awesome back end with Cale McCarr, the modern-day Bobby Orr, and then Nathan McKinnon. This guy is worth the price of admission, boys.
I think that he's just as exciting to watch as McDavid. And any time they're on the ice, even if you don't know the game, you're like, that guy is just better than everyone.
Why does he just kind of take it from his own end and go to the other end and just do whatever the fuck he wants? And it's going to be be an unreal series against dallas well earned who are built strong in every position they're deep but that's gonna it's gonna be a wagon of a series too what about the glass banger though he's just this obnoxious fan who when the play is in the end like there he was on espn he has this saying a sign that's a big white sign that says bang on it and he holds it up against the glass and he stands up and he's in a full white suit and if the play comes near him he'll start fucking body checking the glass and he bangs on the glass and there's other people behind him in the section that are trying to enjoy the game and every time it's going on he's making it about him. He's the – He's a pigeon.
It's pigeon behavior. Like the fans around him don't like it, and then he brings a hooker to every game.
Brand new hooker. Last game, game five, I think he brought a girl, 9K he said he spent on it.
I saw that tweet. He'll come on your podcast and talk about it.
Listen, we would never platform a guy that sits in the front row and brings prostitutes to games. He makes it all about himself.
That's not what this, that's not what part of my takes about this. So that's why I'm going after him, but maybe they gain steam from him.
Maybe he's that fan that they like and he's in the away goalie. Maybe he's distracting the away goalies.
Yeah. So some people have strong opinions about him.
Other people see my side of it, but I don't know. It's just crazy to me, and yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I love the rivalry. You go back and forth with him.
I just see it. It's just like, you know, it's one of those things you click on the tweets to see where it started, and you'll just go back like 10 tweets, and you'll just be like, they've been fighting all day all day yeah there's allegations that i think you made that he doesn't actually pay for his tickets do

we know about that there's yeah he's a trust fund baby so there's an old man seat so he's spending

all his old man money bringing prostitutes to the game spending 9k a pop and like and then tweet me

out pictures with her like with the middle finger in her mouth at me like after the game honestly

i respect both sides in this beef it's a great rivalry it is it's a great rivalry uh all right

So now that we're it set let's start with the west we get the final four in the west uh who do you have coming out and i'm like you i mean you watch every single game uh you're you're plugged in you're on tv you're doing a great job what has been like the surprising x factor so far you can name any of the four teams um so i think that uh i think that dallas is going to come out of that series we just talked about with colorado and then i think that edmonton is going to steam rule vancouver where vancouver has lost their starting goal tether thatcher demko who's an all-star. I talked to another goalie guy, Brian Boucher, and he compared him to the McDavid of goalies of how big he is and how he can move so athletically.
But he pulled something, which I'm hearing was in the last 10 seconds of a game where they'd already won. So kind of similar to what we just talked about with Joseph Wall.
He he's probably going to miss this next round maybe he's going to be back halfway through another one of vancouver's stars is not playing very well he's kind of buckling under the pressure of playoffs much like uh who i talked about on on with the leafs and uh they just don't have enough weapons to go against edmonton edmonton is is a fuck. Their power play is ridiculous.
They have a solid D. Their goaltender is very competent.
But then their first two lines. Right now, they've separated Connor McDavid and Leon Dreisaitl.
And Dreisaitl is actually performing just as good as McDavid. He's actually better in playoffs.
Not only does his numbers show that, but when you watch him out there, it's just sheer dominance. So they have two lines, two first lines right now going full head of steam.
And Vancouver's only got one. And that other guy, it's been a disappearing act.
And I also like their bottom two lines better than Vancouver. So just, I think it's going to be a five game series and then it's going to be mcdavid against mckinnon again wait round two no you said the stars are going to win or are sorry if if that ends up happening yeah if that ends up happening yes sorry yes but now there's like i might there's other people who are picking colorado to win this that series right like they might even be might even be statistically favored in the series.
But Dallas has home ice, and that's why I went with Dallas in seven. Yeah.
Okay, so Edmonton is the best chance for the Cup to come home to Canada. It is, and we talked about the punishment you take, especially going against Vegas, now Colorado.
They breezed by L.A. five games, and I think they're going to do five games against Vancouver.
Way easier matchup than any of those two other teams. They'll be rest fresh, yeah.
And then I just think – I think that – Oh, your mic just went out. Wait.
Or was that – No. I heard it too, yeah.
I'm back. Yep, you're back.
You're back. We'll keep that in.
That just shows how gritty you are right now. But because of that path, and I think that, yeah, Edmonton moves on.
I think that's awesome for Canada, and that easy path helps. Yeah.
And then out of the east, the Rangers look like they're unstoppable right now. I don't know how much of it was the cap stinking in the first round, but game one against Carolina, their power play looks just as good as Edmonton.
It's insane. I think they scored in like 10 seconds on a power play today.
It just seemed too easy for them. Yeah, nice set plays.
Their power play and penalty kill were lethal all season. I want to say they were top five in both categories.
And LaViolette has really taught them how to adapt to what the game is and to be way better defensively where they outnumber you on pucks. Outside of Adam Fox, who's a stud, he's like a little magician out there.
He helps run their power play. He's a power play one guy.
And when the puck goes to him at the point it doesn't go to die it goes to another quality play being made the other five guys are just these big brutes kind of like we talked about with vegas with dallas with like florida who's a juggernaut too they can box you out of the net front let shesterkin see his business and if shesterkin's seeing it he's seeing it, he's stopping it, and he's out of his mind in his own right. He's one of the best goalies in the world, this Russian kid, Igor Shosturkin.
They love him. They love him there.
So they're not Fugazi's this year is what you're saying. They're not.
No, no, they're the for realsies. I think they're going to beat Carolina in six games.
And, yeah, like we talked about their power. their offensive movement is really nice and it matches well and bodes well against Carolina who they're playing against, who they play man on man defense.
One of the only teams in the league, if not the only team to play true man on man. So basically you get in the D zone and you lock up with your guy.
so they're all of them are so athletic and're long, and they're good with their sticks, and they all time themselves properly with the other guys. They are so good in their D zone.
They allowed a league low average 26 shots against per game, unreal PK. But the way that the New York Rangers move and how they kind of set pick plays and they're able to create separation and skillful enough where they can make a move and beat a guy, I think that that plays well against the Carolina Hurricanes.
So they got them in a lot of different areas. Power play, their penalty kill, which scored two goals in itself against your fucking Capitals, that AHL team.
And they just have everything going for them. I think that they're a stronger team and they got bigger weapons.
And Carolina's got to win game two. If not, because they already dropped game one.
And also Anderson let in that shaky goal. So the goaltending edge definitely goes to the Rangers.
And then going to that other series, if you guys want to transfer over yeah long series for boston uh florida is built to win a stanley cup they got goaltending their d are awesome they're deep they got unreal uh uh scoring and uh and they're physical too so i think they're they'll probably beat up on boston uh i actually had it going to seven just to give b Boston the credit, but Boston just not deep enough down the middle. They got Charlie Coyle and the Zaka.
None of them had a goal in the first series and Max Domi got put at center ice and he was fucking beating them on draws like crazy. So the centerman for, for I, for Florida, I think I'll eat those guys up and, uh, yeah.
And then it would be Florida, against new york i got florida and i don't need to go into why wow okay i like that what about what about the stanley cup so i think that it will be edmonton florida that would be my guess that's so is that the longest is that the longest flight uh canucks probably yeah no it'll be canucks canucks but edmonton have to go well we shouldn't do geography with you no don't do that is florida the south florida's the south boys okay i think florida's i think florida's just florida is vancouver the south no vancouver's uh that's pacific northwest but it's the south of canada no yeah i think no yeah the border as far as well toronto is probably all of it's on the border yeah there's no northerners in canada right are you being serious that was kind of a biz comment big cat well i mean edmonton and calgary aren't so i live in the summer like i'll eventually retire in victoria and that's actually crosses over so i'd be curious to know if victoria is the lowest point of canada wait so you consider it the southern tip is that uh is it just all nhl players there there are jamie ben's from there who plays for the dallas stars uh tyson berry there. No, but I'm saying in the summer, is it just

everyone goes there?

No, Vancouver would be more

of the hot spot. That's where I do hang

out more of my time now,

but Victoria will be where I retire.

It's a little bit quieter pace.

I got the golf club there.

I'm a pretty simple guy.

In NBA terms, when a team gets bounced,

it's like, okay, Cancun on three.

See you guys in Mexico.

That's what we used to do. We used to go on an end-of-the-year trip

Thank you. I'm a pretty simple guy.
Well, like in NBA terms, when a team gets bounced, it's like, okay, Cancun on three. See you guys in Mexico.
That's what we used to do. We used to go on an end-of-the-year trip, all the single guys.
It was awesome. Was it Cancun? No, I've never been to Cancun.
I would do a Cabo. Yeah.
Cabo was one. Yeah.
I like going there. It was a quick flight.
Vegas was kind of my spot because it was Phoenix, Vegas, and I was in my my vegas days i was obnoxious still am but but really obnoxious yeah going to clubs and like doing bottle service and all that shit i guess i guess all kids maybe do at least this time or in this stage that stage in their life yeah you you're you're busy guys so we understand you probably aren't listening to uh pmt right now um but we did have Yans on on Friday. He's the best.
Would you like to talk about a story he told? About the one where I went and met the girl and she had the boyfriend there? Yeah. Yeah, what happened? I mean, I hope I could do it justice retelling it.
I did so on the pod. Like a lot of this time I'm trying to process it and I got to talk about it like the next day where I'm like yo I just went to like have a drink with a girl and next thing you know I thought like maybe her fucking boyfriend was gonna have a gun to my head you know like you're just trying to go through every scenario in your brain so I had been like I like followed this girl on Instagram and we'd been talking a little bit and like we exchanged numbers and'd been communicating for six months.
Nothing back and forth. I'm a horrible texter to begin with, but kind of like, hey, I might be coming to Florida soon.
Let's get together. And like, oh, okay, cool.
I think we'd FaceTimed a couple of times. So you kind of run it through your crazy text.
She wasn't hitting me up all the time either. She would never be like, never be like hey you're not paying attention to me so anyway six months to go by I finally go down there to film the handling business a show that's a good name TNT yeah fun and I get to hang out with the hands we get to do it with Matthew Kachuk and I was I was gonna invite her to dinner but I didn't and I told them about ah no she's not going to come, I want to go meet her later for a drink so finally she's like okay here here's the pin drop I'm at the tin roof and after I was done having dinner with him I went and met this girl and I walked in didn't see her at first I go to the bathroom I come back over and I can see her at the bar and I walk over I say hey how you doing and then and then she's like hand in hand with this guy like I kind of didn't catch it as early as maybe I should have and I was like oh hey and you could tell the look on his face I look back to to her I'm like oh like like is this your boyfriend and she no no and then like he walks away we're getting a water I'm like hey like you're just holding hands with the guy like if it's your boyfriend like you you know all good and, all good.
And she's like, no, no, no. So we go outside.
I sit down, and I was like, hey, listen, you don't owe me anything. Like, if that's your boyfriend, like, we can all just chill, and I can leave soon.
And then she's like, no, no. He walks over, and I'm, like, kind of stunned again.
And I'm like, is this your girlfriend? And he's like, yeah. And I'm like, oh.
So they start kind of talking, and then we kind of start making small talk and then it's so uncomfortable my heart's racing like crazy and he walks away and i'm like i'm like what the fuck is going on i'm like uh it's a it's pretty bizarre when one person's saying that you're dating and the other isn't like what what am i getting myself into here and then she goes we're not dating like and kind of starts making some excuse and then like after a few more minutes he walks back over i get talking with the table beside me because i'm like hi and like this is an insane situation and she like walks off with him yeah just like and then like i just kind of sat there and finished the rest of my joint and then walked out to get an Uber. And then as I'm waiting for my Uber, they both walked by, and I was like hand in hand, like out of the bar, like probably to go fuck.
And I'm like, hey, all right, see you later, guys. Have a great night.
Good meeting you. And then just get in my cab and go home.
It might just be like a kinky thing that they have where she wants to make him jealous so she hits Biz up. And then next thing you know, the romance is rekindled.
That's one theory. That's one theory.
Somebody said that maybe it was like one of those ones where the guy wants to be in the corner cranking it off while you're keying off on his old lady. And then when the guy gets there, they call the audible or something.
Yeah. Yeah, we don't want, yeah.

Like you didn't meet the swinger.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's a lot better looking on TV.

And I could see the bulge in his pants and I don't look impressed.

Then what were the other theories?

Like that I thought maybe that he had showed up like unbeknownst in the midst of my travel where oh she got jammed up or maybe he had to like find my phone or whatever yeah came over and it's just like oh shit like perfect storm um but yeah to my there were there were tons of theories going around about as to how i walked myself into this but like i guess it's like well then don't go fucking meeting girls on on you know on instagram yeah no come on but but i don't i don't go out a lot anymore i got this raya app fired up there's there's some good looking girls on there but i just you know why are you laughing because you talk about raya every time we hang out yeah well and also you have uh when did when did we last hang out when did we last talk about it you were talking about raya last time you were in the office yeah you're like are you probably asking what you got what you got going on i'm probably like oh later i'm gonna meet up with a riot yeah and you got me trying to do detective work for you oh my god that girl got me going. The cheeks, Miss Cheeks from the rough and rowdy.

This text me a screenshot of a rough and rowdy ring girl.

He's like, find her for me.

I was like, dude, I don't know.

I tried.

I texted.

I made a text.

I was like.

You guys are coworkers.

I figured maybe you guys would have interacted.

Sandy Cheeks.

What's up to Sandy Cheeks?

Sandy Cheeks, if you're listening, Biz would like to take you out on a date. Okay? That's fair.
Yeah, but I was like, the best was you just texted me like- Did she win the competition of best ring girl? I think she did, but then like three days after- Her arse was a joke. Three days after- That thing was a joke.
Three days after you texted me out of the blue, you go, anything on this? Yeah. Yeah, I'll give her half my shit.
Oh, fuck, Biz. You're the best.
All right, I got one last question because it is late. That's it.
I kind of like chatting with you. All right, we can keep chatting.
I got another question for you. Yeah, let's keep chatting.
I didn't want to. Who's been the best ring girl? Who's the goat ring girl for Rough and Rowdy? Sandy Cheeks is up there.
She's on the Mount Rushmore. Yeah.
Hot Wheels has fought and been a ring girl. Yeah.
Who? Hot Wheels. Who's that? She does both.
She's a ring girl, and then she fights. And she beats the fuck out of people.
No shit. We call those in hockey the Swiss Army Knives.
Yeah. A fucking guy kills He plays power play.
He blocks shots. He wins the wall battles.
The guy does it all. The Swiss Army Knife.
Yeah. No, she's the goat.
I want to ask you, though, about body checking Shaq. When you put him into the wall in the TNT studio, did he know that was coming? Yeah.
Shaq Hyman knew that was coming. I told him, don't be skating through my neutral zone, or I'm going to clog you up like the Dallas Stars are going to clog you up.
Because I was impressed when you checked him, he looked at you like, that was harder than I thought it was going to be. He said, he asked me, go, hey, we're going to do a little video here.
And I said, you want me coming through the middle? Put you right through the gauntlet, Shaq. And I think that we broke a few studs in the wall,

and then the ceiling started breaking.

So he's a big man.

I think Hank was in the shitter, and he felt this big thing.

He thought there was an earthquake in the studio.

Hey, how pissed are people going to be if the Blackhawks win the lottery

on Tuesday night?

Oh, my God.

I actually hope they do. I do.
I love – like I like the Patriots dynasty. Like I loved how everybody was – the flake gate.
Like people lose it. Like I have – like I don't care that much.
I care more about the script writers in the NHL continuing to hit the sound of the park because there's been – it was an insane regular season for hockey. Right.
Like like the amount of i think there was eight teams down the stretch fighting for the president's trophy like all these crazy records that had not been broken or done in a while like kucherov and mcdavid uh hitting 100 assists and then all the off-ice shit like the fucking like you name it every two weeks there was something going on we kicked it off we kicked it off with the Babcock stuff. Meanwhile, unreal quote from Jim Montgomery after they won game seven.
He said that he got a call from, I forget who, as a pep talk. And then Babcock as well to give him advice about how to go.
Babcock was the coach who got fired. Yeah, yeah.
And he used to coach the Leafs. So they were talking on the phone.
He was getting like intel. So I said, I go, well, I ended Babcock's season and then he helped end mine.
So I guess we're even. Yeah, yeah.
Who would you say is the best coach that's still around in these playoffs? Oh, God, that's a great question. Great question.
Thank you. You guys always guys always ask great questions thanks and i appreciate you guys allowing me to be long-winded early about describing these teams right because i bet you a lot of your listeners don't know fuck all about hockey so i try to get in the weeds about what we talk about how how they win and how to do it um coaches uh uh paul maurice with florida he's like a fucking poet like every time he hits the desk like it's like he just nails it he's so well spoken uh he knows how to like manage his group and he's a good puppeteer and he's good with challenging their mentals like challenging knowing what what buttons to push and when and how to motivate the group and how to use the media to do so I think Jim Montgomery is a great coach I think it was wild to see such a good coach I think as far as winning percentage in your first two seasons with a team his might be the best ever with Boston and how much they like him and respect him in the locker room and how he's you know able able to motivate them they They lost their two best centers and still almost won their division and finished with well over 100 points this year.
But he almost lost to the Leafs in that 3-1 fashion again. He could have easily just been fired next week, where now he's off to the second round.
But he's a good coach. Pete DeBoer, who just won for Dallas, is 8-0 in Game 7s in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
8-0, buddy. This guy is as cool as a cucumber.
I actually lost to him in junior in the second round when I was playing with the Owen Sound Attack. He went on to win, I believe, a couple OHL championships, but Memorial Cup with Mike Richards as a captain with the Kitchener Rangers and he's always had the same assistant coach spotter so they've worked well together where they've gotten to the NHL here's another crazy fucking one for you I want to say every game seven that the Vegas Golden Knights have been a part of, he's been involved in because he was with them when they first started and then he got axed, which I thought was a bad call.
They fired him too early. And then he was in San Jose, or maybe he was in San Jose first.
I might be getting the teams wrong, but he was involved against a series against the Vegas Golden Knights, And then now he's in Dallas. He was with them against them again.
Wow. But he's survived all these crazy game sevens and he's eight.
No, and he's had some amazing groups. Um, and he's just an unreal coach.
He's just never won his cup. He's never got his cup.
So he's got to get it. He's got to, I think, I feel like he deserves it.
And I feel like, Hey, it could be his year with that group that he has. Knobloch's a young coach who doesn't have any NHL experience with the Edmonton Oilers, but it was McDavid's junior coach.
So when all that drama was happening at the beginning of the year, all of a sudden they fire their coach, and then they bring in his junior coach. It kind of put him in a bad spot where maybe he did have something to do with it and had a say in it,

but he said that he didn't.

But everyone's like, oh, yeah, the best player in the world,

his junior coach gets hired with no NHL experience, and you didn't.

But since then, he had the best record in the NHL to finish the season,

and he's handled himself awesome with adjustments that he's made.

So he's kind of this new young blood head coach. He he's that's very lebron of him what do you mean i mean lebron just like handpicks coaches like he'll get a coach fired and then bring in a new one i think that uh i think their gm there um oh god biz think of it he was with the detroit red wings forever you got this steve eiserman No he's there now I know I know Sergei Fedorov Mike Babcock is it Ken Holland Ken Holland oh yeah so he won all those cups as a GM with I'll tell you a cool story about ask me about the Dallas scouts after but he's over in Edmonton now because he's already formed these unbelievable groups and knows what it takes so I feel like he's done a good job of picking McDavid's brain from an like not too much like McDavid ain't running show but understanding what they need in order to win yeah I think he's done a good job of communicating with them so he's done some of the trades and moves that he's made to like bringing over over Ekholm and how he's he got Evander Kane who's a big piece he's only making like I think four and a half million bucks it was a risk bringing him in brought in Corey Perry so um love him but like this is all NHL drama shit where when he was having all of his success in Detroit I I think contract time came up for the Detroit scouting staff

who had been pulling diamonds out of their ass in these late rounds

where they were getting these generational players like Datsuka, Zetterberg.

The list goes on of deep picks that they got that went on to be Hall of Famers

and generational talent where contract time was up,

and I don't think they paid him or they weren't offering the scouts

We'll be came back. I mean, think eventually with an offer and they said too bad, too late.
And he went over to that. They all went over to jim nill and dallas drafting is fucking unbelievable they they picked off ottinger robertson and uh hasken in the same fucking draft in the first like 35 picks they got fucking wyatt johnson boom they got the stankoven kid boom they don't fucking miss these guys uh thomas harley out of nowhere like he's like a fifth rounder boom another one all guys in their lineup so i just love the behind the weed shit lining up i don't i don't dig for it i'm just kind of like the goof who like now because i got like the podcast people that kind of just open up and tell me these stories where i'm like what that's kind of crazy why wouldn't he just have paid him like he was picking them off all these gems like now jim nill's getting all these treats where in a hard cap era having guys on entry level deals making 900 grand playing like wyatt johnson that's how you win cups look at when chicago did it when they had patty kane and paves on that's how they got their first one yeah i think those guys were still on entry level yeah and no i mean you're what you're saying is like it is the interesting part of sports the the construction of a championship team is awesome everything so many dynamics it's crazy how hard it is to win yeah and there's so many talented people in hockey and that's what makes it awesome and uh as far as all all the other coaches to have gotten where they got to now like rob brindamore in carolina he um he won a stanley cup as a player and when i say that this guy didn't cheat the game he he won't even eat a carb he's like the guy from globo gym like you know he is he shows up every day from like in a military sense he did as a player and he does it as a coach and he's instilled such a winning culture in Carolina that it bleeds through his players.
It's wild how, how teams take on the identity of their coach. And I think that from what I'm hearing behind the scenes, Ron Francis, who I think he won a cup with in Carolina and who's like, he's a hall of famer he went to seattle i heard that they were trying to pick him off because carolina is known as a bit of a cheap organization and a head coach like rob brindamore would make five i let's say berube doesn't sign with the leafs i bet you they'd be prepared to pay him five and a half six million a year so I heard that as a head coach and they, woo, woo.

Yeah.

Pay the scouts.

Yeah, pay the scouts.

So there was rumors that he was going to pick them off in Seattle, and I think those have been shot down because basically it's coming to a point

where Carolina is going to hand over whatever he kind of wants.

And they should.

They'd be idiots not to.

So the list kind of goes on with these awesome head coaches. Yeah, yeah.
oh oh oh to rick talkett rick talkett was on the panel with me with tnt i can't forget my boy rick talkett that was a shattered culture in in canuck land and they have these they had good pieces so he got in there at the end of last year and turned them in from a non-playoff team and figured out the issues and bringing in other amazing coaches like Adam Foote, who won the Stanley Cup with Colorado. He's his D coach.
He's got Mike Yeo there, who's been around a long time. He's got the Sedin brothers helping out as well as Sergey Gonchar.
So he assembled this awesome staff to come in and help work with all these players and fix all these problems and they went on to win the pacific division now they're off to the the the second round and but they're going up against mcdavid and a juggernaut in the oilers i don't think they're going to beat him but he did a masterful job in helping re-establish the culture as a head coach in such a amount of time, and he's going to win the Jack Adams, in my opinion, and should, by how he went and fixed the problem, to win a division that has Vegas in it and Edmonton in it. Yeah.
So I think it was the second hardest division to win, and he won it, and it's a reason that they got an easier opponent in the first round. And he did a great job in the first round as coach.

And I think he's going to win coach of the year.

So I'm glad I didn't forget my boy.

And he's best boys with Waino.

And he helped kind of with the friendship.

And they extended their arms to me.

And I feel forever indebted to be able to, like, work on the panel

and get to have work with them and then hear all these incredible

behind-the-scenes crazy stories of how it all works and how it all worked in the past. Yeah.
Biz, what is a Canuck? Well, it's like a whale on the crest, but lingo, it's just like a Canadian. Oh, there's a Canuck.

By the way question for you Maxie

How many of those

2,000 tickets

Thank you. I did watch the game.
Yeah, a couple sodas kept me up. By the way, question for you, Maxie.
How many of those 2,000 tickets ended up on the game time map for Knicks fans to find their seats? Bing bong. Those were for first responders? Those were for first responders in Philadelphia.
Jerry, we love first responders. We love first responders.
We love first responders. And also prayers to DeMar.

Even if they sell their tickets on the GameTime app, more power to them.

Yeah.

Bing bong.

First responders, Jerry.

Jerry, you got to remember first responders saved DeMar Hamlin's life.

Facts.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Yes.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Shout out to first responders.

Yes. But also shout out to Maxie's Villanova for being the entire New York Knicks squad.
Bing bong, Maxie. Jerry.

He's coming for you. He's with the Pacers first.
Yeah. Jerry, Jerry, you mentioned game time.
Hey, let me ask you something, Maxie. Back to Maxie.
Hold on a second. Back to Maxie.
If the owners give away 2,000 tickets, does that like mess with the inflation? Just like a Bidenomics or something? Bing, bong. First responders.
First responders. If you don't like the 2000 tickets, you don't like first responders.
How'd that brick in for chicken work out for you? Bing bong. Yeah.
This is a Raising Cane's podcast. Bing bong, Raising Cane's.
Jerry, you mentioned game time. You mentioned Raising Cane's.
Nothing makes me laugh harder than Jerry O'Connell going harder for our sponsors

than most of our employees.

You were tweeting about DK Horse yesterday.

I appreciated it so much.

You know, I got to tell you, full disclosure, all AWLs and how is everybody.

And Maxie, I do want to say that series could have gone anyway I mean it was like down to the last couple seconds and it was listen as a Knicks fan it really is quite shocking that we made it out I mean it's just not how it goes we're like the Maple Leafs congrats cocky. We're like the Maple Leafs of the first round,

so we don't even do it. But it's so funny about that DK horse app.
I mentioned earlier, I was in

New York. My dad, who is a man of a particular age, loves the ponies, loves the horses.
We've

been to the Kentucky Derby a number of times. And yesterday he was laid up in hospital and we were

watching the Derby. And I got to tell you, man, being you man being in awl i was like dad there's this app called dk horse and we can bet this and yesterday he was laid up this is not a joke he was hooked up to a heart monitor okay and he won a couple of races and you could see on the heart monitor as the horses were coming down the stretch.
It was like beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. And that's why I posted that thing about DK Horace and blood flow.
By the way, DK Horace saved my father's life. Yeah.
That's a fact. That's a fact.
It kept him going. What I also love about you is how you always talk about, you know, if your team is playing against, like, Hank's team or against Max's team, you're on the talk and you do, like, a little sidebar to your audience and you're like, everybody say hi to Philly Mays, say hi to Max.
I'm curious to know, like, how your audience reacts to that because you're trying to hype them up for it do they know who max is and if not how do you explain it to them okay so a lot of awls will not know this because they don't have um uh what do they call it like regular tv like um stay like cable what do you call regular tv yeah like cable yeah yeah um uh broadcast television you know um unless you're max and then your direct tv goes out with two minutes left in the game in game six couldn't get any any points in the last two minutes and you couldn't get direct tv bing bong maxi um No, so no one what um part of my take is or the fact that i'm on there so when i shout out uh maximilian galenti and his sixers they have no clue what i'm saying i mean it's like it doesn't mean anything to them yeah what jerry when i when i congratulated jerry on his hole in one uh they were like friend Jerry got a hole-in-one. They had no clue what I was talking about.
Speaking of that show, can we talk through the yellow shirt? The yellow shirt. I wore a yellow shirt, and I posted about it.
Did I? What about the yellow shirt? Well, it was a really bad shirt. You're you're a good looking guy what were you trying to do were you trying to maybe bring yourself down so us mortals can be like oh we could look like Jerry O'Connell if we just put on the worst yellow shirt possible um I um I have to have 150 I do 150 episodes a year so I have to get like 150 shirts and some of them I just order online, and when they come in, I mean, I'm just

out of clean clothes, you know?

Yeah, it was the color of like a

peep, like a marshmallow peep.

Yeah.

Hey, Maxie,

I see you.

What's going on? Are you crying? Just like Nick

Sirianni at the National Anthem?

Bing bong. We're on the off-season.

It's going to be a big off-season. Jerry, are you...
Hey, question. I got a question for Maxi.
Bing bong. Hey, Maxi, Coach Sirianni, he's not calling defense.
He's not calling offense. What is his role? Bing bong.
He's going to be a leader of men. We got to see what happens this year.
I'm back in on birds,, back in on the Sirianni train. Leader of men.
Oh, by the way, oh God, I didn't tag Max in that Dove Climmon posted that workout video of the Eagles. I mean, they look pretty good.
Yeah, strong. We still need a deep dance.
Strong. First team to lift in the offseason.
Jerry, are you nervous at all about the Pacers? Because we really want it to be you versus Hank,

and we want you to come and watch a game with us.

I do.

I'm very nervous about the Pacers.

There's a history there.

I was actually, believe it or not, this is not a bit,

I was at that Reggie Miller game, that choke game,

and it actually shaped me.

It made me put sports in perspective um i was depressed for months after that and still to this day it's it was like a traumatic experience it was a nightmare so i mean i i gotta say i i think the pacers actually i know this is terrible to say as a nix fan and nix fans are going to come for me but i think we just get the yips when we're around them you know it's a bummer it's like uh it's like uh it's like the Sixers or the Phillies or the Eagles in the final game bing bong yeah so Jerry you're not overlooking the Pacers what you're saying um not only am I not overlooking the Pacers, hey, listen, guys, we've also come this far without Julius Randle.

I mean, this is like, this is incredible.

This has been a lot of fun.

I'm not, exciting time to be in New York's van.

Rangers are clicking.

It's like 94 all over again.

But listen, you guys are also fans of franchises that have been through it. I don't get my hopes up there's a great New York bar here in Los Angeles I gotta give it a shout out it's called 33 taps if you are a New York fan you gotta come to it it is I've never seen the only place I've seen more Knicks fans is at the garden itself it was so electric to just be in a different town and go to your hometown bar it's such a fun time it's such a friendly vibe there's no there's no there's no fighting or anything it's great what uh are you kneeling in the dirt right now yeah i am i was getting a cramp of my legs because i was trying to show my car off and i was squatting and i got like a sick cramp in the back of my leg and my uh my meat flappers what did you call them max Maxie? Bing bong.
What did you call them? Your meat curtains? Big hangy clackers. Big meaty clackers.
Big meaty clackers. Big meaty clackers.
Bing bong. Yeah.
So, Jerry, were you at MSG? You know what? I got to tell you something. Bing bong, friction boy.
You should put it inside. It feels much better.
Bing bong. Yeah.
in feel those sugar walls enough with that friction bing bong maxi i see you did you go to a game did you go to msg no i didn't um i have kids i have a wife i mean i can barely make this zoom i had to lie about this zoom i'm like hiding in a park people probably think i'm a predator it's um i'm kneeling on my hands and knees in a public park you look so uncomfortable crazy i hope your wife has like a private detective that's following you around she's like i think he's lying about where he's going can you follow him and see what he's up to and he's just parking his car at an angle in a park and then getting on his knees screaming into a phone i think he's on uh i think he's on only fans you you do look like you're doing a weird photo shoot right now by yourself if you're if you walked by you'd be like why is this guy doing a photo shoot with his car i'm a i'm an influencer in the wild um what else max it was it was a good series max i mean i'm kind of i'm kind of ribbing you it really could have gone it either way it was always down to the last couple seconds i i i i will say this um because my buddy um ryan who's the boss i don't know if you remember last time i was on here he's a big boss so we can't say his last name ryan did help me out with some of these uh phillies facts um the guy i said right the guy from don't say what company he works for don't please like i'm not even kidding because i'm talking about like meat flappers and everything and i don't want to coming back to him he's like got stockholders to deal with and stuff right but um he's he's got a real job for a real place um he um he he helped me write

some of these he's he's like such a huge Philly fan and I gotta tell you I do have such respect

for those Philly fans they really they um they're just such ride or dies they they really are i mean then it's it's an it's it's an incredible talent to play for which is why i gotta tell you which is why i i think that tobias really screwed you guys i don't think he is really a good fit in philadelphia at. He'll never play as a sixer ever again.

So that's good.

Yeah.

And he shouldn't.

You know, it's pretty easy.

If you play in a town like Philly and you show respect, the town will respect you back.

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

Even if you're going through tough times.

And I believe it cost you the series with the Knicks, personally. You're not wrong.
Jerry, how do you feel about the return of cocky Hank? It might be Knicks-Celtics in the Eastern Conference Final. He should be cocky.
I know you guys are talking about the NBA, but this is a football podcast. Remember that.
This is a football podcast, first and foremost. And Drake May, I don't know.
I wouldn't be too cocky with that footwork. Bing bong, Hank.
Yeah. Yeah.
Don't get too cocky, Hank. This is a football podcast.
He's right. He's right.
All right, Jerry, I have one last question because I know you got to go watch a movie with your – Is it a Roback question? It's a Roback question. Is it Roback? I know you got to go watch it.
R-H-O-B-A-C-K. R-H-O-B-A-U-K-C-E.
Roback. However they spell it.
By the way, of all your sponsors that I shout out, that Roback spelling, that's the weirdest. What's the deal with that? Bing bong, Robach.
The Robach question, R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com, promo code TAKE, 20% off your first purchase, Q-Zips, Polos, Hoodies, Joggers. I know you have to go.
It's like a spelling bee. I know you have to go watch the Ryan Gosling movie with your supermodel wife.
I know. Yes.
Yeah, you do have to go do that. But I had one question.
And listen, not a former supermodel. Once a supermodel, always a supermodel.
I don't want to hear any of that former supermodel stuff. You said that to me! I did.
Just to let you know how cool Big Cat is, everybody. I said I gotta go see this Ryan Gosling movie.
tickets, and my whole family's excited, and I have to go sit there and make me look like I'm into it. And then I lied and said I had to work Zoom that I had to come to.
I said, I got to go see this movie with my... He said, with your supermodel wife, and I wrote forward supermodel, and Dan Katz wrote, what's a supermodel? What was a supermodel? It really made me laugh.
That's facts. That's facts.
Put some respect on her name. My last question is, so we have a side text, me, you, and PFT, and you'll send us stuff that you see on Instagram.
And the last three or four things you've sent us on Instagram have been luxury condos in Chicago. Are you thinking about moving and maybe maybe joining powers maybe avengers like you you come to the office every day oh man i gotta tell you um it's just uh that gold coast area of chicago for some reason it's in my algorithm right now uh just like um anything going on with sixers or or drake may's footwork, it just comes into my feed all the time.
And some of those apartments look gorgeous. I mean, I would love it.
Yeah. I mean, listen, I'm here in L.A.
Everybody else is leaving. Yeah.
They call it the Viagra triangle. Yeah.
All right. Well, we should maybe just get you an apartment and be like, you got it.

Okay, let's wrap up with the Tom Brady roast.

On Netflix.

Sunday night.

It was fantastic.

I'll say that as a whole.

It was fantastic. I think we talked about a whole, it was fantastic.
Um, we, I think we talked about it on Thursday or Friday show. And I was like, the litmus test is, will there be a karate instructor joke? And there was almost instantly by Kevin Hart.
Uh, so it felt like it was truly like, no, nothing was held back. There was a lot of jokes about Giselle.
There's a lot of jokes about his divorce, Alex Guerrero, all that stuff. Hank, from your perspective, how did you feel seeing all the guys back together? You even had the weird Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick toast, which if you notice, Belichick did not shake his hand out.
He didn't want any part of it. He didn't want any part of it.
I respected that he didn't want any part of it. He had to go up there, but he did the bare minimum.
But tell us, how did you feel? I loved it. I thought it was very funny.
It was good to see the boys back together having a good time, laughing with each other. Gronk.
Busting balls. Belichick being there was great.
I thought he actually did really well considering, you know, he's Bill Belichick. He's not the most outgoing guy.
Gregarious. Yeah.
His joke about how it's the roast of Tom Brady. If you missed the roast of Bill Belichick, it was called the dynasty on Apple TV was great.
And Amendola, like Amendola took some shots at him in the dynasty and he made sure to get back at him being like you know you had 200 yards next year 250 yards yeah yeah i think that's the reason bill showed up was just to roast danny amandola that hurt him more time yeah you could tell that hurt him yeah also gronk was awesome the best gronk was awesome because gronk very obviously wrote his own material yeah which is the most gronk thing ever and all all his material was like, Kevin Hart is here. He's gay.
Julian, you're gay. Tom, you're gay too.
Julian, you're really gay. Remember when Tom went to Tampa and then he had a 1,300-mile dick to fuck Bill Belichick while Julian spit on it? Yeah, Julian was- That was gay.
Lubing it up because, Julian, you really gay. And Tom, you were so gay.
And also Gronk just, I said afterwards, I would pay money for an inside the NFL type show of just Gronk mic'd up throughout that entire roast, ISO cam on him, because no one in the world has ever had a better, I don't know why I'm laughing, but this is funny face yeah rob gronkowski he would look around at everybody while he was laughing to see if somebody was going to interpret the joke for him right but he does seem like the best guy to go to a roast with ever jules crushed it jules was really good yeah jules was awesome um i thought nikki glazer was the best because anytime you have a roast, like the professional

comedians, you could just see why they're professional comedians.

Their delivery is just different.

She was fantastic.

I thought Ben Affleck was the weirdest and worst.

It was really strange.

He was like, you fuckers at home have the nerve to comment on Tom Brady.

It was a Tom Brady roast and he spent 10 minutes yelling about like an anonymous bills fan yeah it was so bizarre i don't know what that was he was he was definitely the lvp roaster um surprised with no bill burr yeah bill burr would have been good he probably would have been great he probably respected tom too much to do it that was that was the weird thing is like there was a bunch of comedians there that didn't really have connections i know you have to fill it with comedians but yeah bill burr would have been great um yeah uh tom brady i think had the best joke of the night though which one kim kardashian in the front row yeah he's like she's uncomfortable to be here yeah because her kids are at home with her dad yeah and she And she was like, why the fuck did you say that? Yeah. That's a good joke.
She kind of looked, but she kind of looked at him. She liked it, yeah.
She kind of was like, we're going to fuck. I also like how they just booed.
They booed the fuck out of him. Booed the fuck out of her.
Yeah. Bledsoe was actually, Bledsoe was probably the best non-comedian, non-Julian Edelman roaster.
Jules, we're going to give number one, non-comedian. I also, because his Alex Guerrero line was good, too.
Randy Moss, redneck. Yeah.
I also love the Bill Belichick got up there and for no reason just started roasting his offensive linemen. Yeah.
Like, no one was talking about about matt light and he was just like let me get

some in on matt light he did a solid five minutes it's like he just got back into coaching yeah it

was great it was great just like breaking down film you i had to tell you to shut the fuck up

so many times yeah i was surprised no one did a willie mcginnis uh fight joke that was weird yeah

uh they probably didn't want to get beat up i i could actually see tom brady taking this

as like all the criticism all the jokes to heart and being like i fucking hate everybody now yeah like i despise all you guys there was a couple moments where i was like is he gonna it felt uncomfortable in the room they made one robert kraft massage joke and tom said shut it down i don't i don't know if that was a bit or if that was real i think that would have been real yeah. Yeah.
Because they didn't make another one. Yeah.
And yeah, there was a couple divorce jokes. Who did the one? Someone talked about karate instructor.
I can't remember how it went, but it was. Beating your ass while eating your wife's.
Yeah, but eating your wife's ass. Yeah, that's right.
I think that was Nikki Glaser, right? Yeah. Yeah, I think it was.
She fucking rocked. And right off the bat, I kevin hart at the start made the first karate instructor joking he was like yeah you thought didn't think anything was weird when she she's been a white belt for five years the i'm just happy because it feels like roast might be back like that was a legitimately very good roast yeah it was a little long and there was a couple people that probably uh didn't need to go up there but for the most part like we watched the whole thing we were laughing the whole time yeah it was good i thought it was very good and hopefully roasts are back roasts are back i would have liked to see eli come out instead of peyton that would have been good there's a reason nick foals wasn't invited yeah he hates nick foals he's about in in the documentary.
He probably told people because any time they brought up the Eagles,

it was about the Eagles team, nobody said Nick Foles.

Yeah.

Brady was like, there's two things you can't joke about,

Robert Kraft's massage therapy,

and then don't say the fucking words Nick Foles.

Yeah.

And then someone did make some Philadelphia jokes.

I think Brady made some Philadelphia jokes at the end,

and Max was just like, terrible.

They were pretty funny.

You didn't get the one about Kevin Hart.

Whatever.

Yeah, it was a Kevin Hart joke.

And Brady did a 9-11 joke.

He did, yeah.

It was a Drew Bledsoe joke.

But it was, yeah, two Jets hitting Drew Bledsoe.

Yeah.

Which is the whole reason Brady got in was because that game was delayed because of 9-11.

Yeah.

It restarted.

Bledsoe gets hurt.

Now we have Tom Brady.

Yeah.

I bet you that was pretty cathartic for Drew Bledsoe.

Oh, yeah.

Just sit there and watch everyone roast him.

He was like, I fucking hate you.

Yeah.

He probably does.

Yeah.

He probably really does hate him.

So overall, pretty good.

Yeah, I thought it was great.

And fights. Fights was there.
Our guy fights was there. What do you think about Tom Brady's look now? You think he looks good? I think he looks great.
He looks like the Fox graphics when they do the animations of the players. The cartoon ones? But he's that all the time.
Somebody put it perfectly. He looks like gay Tom Brady.
Yeah. It's a little weird.
I think it looks great. Okay.
I mean, yeah, it's a little weird. I think it's pretty cool that about half the roasters have been on the show.
Yeah, there were a lot. There were a lot of them.
I would have liked to see Shane go up there. Comedians, athletes.
Yeah, that's true. We do have a ton of those guys.
Shane would have been great. Let's think.
Jules, obviously. Gronk.
Willie. Jeffrey Ross.
We've never had Randy. Bert and Tom.
Yeah, we need to get Randy. Well, we've had Randy Moss.
We've had Randy Moss on the show, yes. It would have been great if Randy Moss, our Randy Moss was there.
Andrew, right? Yeah. Andrew Schultz.
Yep. Dana.
Dana, yeah. Yeah, he did.
He got his 60 seconds.

Peyton.

Yeah.

Rich Eisen, who got... Rich Eisen definitely was like, make sure the camera's on me.

A lot of camera time.

Yeah.

A lot.

But yeah, good roast.

Roasts are back.

I'll have Kim on the show, too.

I will have Kim on the show as well.

Yeah.

We won't make any jokes about Kanye.

But maybe we will, because that was such a hot look he gave Tom Brady. We also might talk about Taylor Swift.
Yeah, that was a hot look. She definitely was like, we're fucking later and I'm going to be angry about it.
I'd like to watch. A lot of OJ jokes too.
A lot of OJ jokes. OJ caught a few strays.
Yeah. And Aaron Hernandez.
Oh, Aaron Hernandez got roasted. The biggest stray of the night was Antonio Cromartie.
Yeah. Nowhere.
When Tom was like, my career has lasted this long when I started this happen. And Antonio Cromartie only had one kid.
And you have to, I think like Antonio Cromartie kid jokes, you have to really be an NFL fan. Yeah.
It was a room of a lot of comedians who were like, huh? Cromartie's at home with a living room of 10 kids and he's watching this thing like this is awesome everyone's making fun of Tom Brady yeah and then he just takes a straight and all those kids like was it me are they talking about me yeah uh all right good show boys we got a very special guest coming Wednesday by the way very special legend of the game uh so when we talked about master's a lot. Okay.
Max, have you ever gotten this? No. Shane and Pug, how awesome was the party? It was awesome.
Without Max and Hank there? Party was awesome. PFT's house is awesome.
Pug. Pug.
PFT's house is awesome. Again, I went to every single room.
Pug is the man. Pug was the guest of honor by far there.
Yeah. Shane was trying all new stuff, having a margarita.
Yeah. He had tequila for the first time.
I made a malortarita. Shane's not a real human being.
He's basically like, he's Encino man. He's never had McDonald's.'s he's not a real human being he never had chipotle until like two years ago or a year ago yeah is that weird yeah he doesn't have chinese food what was he what were you picking shane what was shane picking out of his food the other day he was picking something out of his food what don't you like you you didn't like something you're just picking it all out it's like rice or something i don't know what food i can't remember you're just picking the costa rican yeah maybe like peppers and stuff yeah you didn't he didn't like peppers but there were bell peppers it was bell peppers and like sauteed onions he's like i don't like onions yeah yeah uh okay numbers 8 26 3 18 Let's go 12 for Tom Brady
