We could get a little loopy here because we just watched 12 hours of basketball non-stop.
My eyes feel like they're going to fall out of my head. I love every second of it.
That's not a complaint. It is more of an explanation if my words don't work correctly.
We could do without overtime, though. Those are the seconds I could do without.
Overtime is a sword to the stomach if you have any sort of action because you never win an overtime no never it's always dogs go to die dogs die there unders go to die there um we do have we should probably talk about i i want to i want to listen that villanova game was tough to watch yeah for our guy max and uh we we went through the de paul game last night uh let's all just go around the room and say something nice about max he's powerful i am proud of how max fought in that game best hair on the podcast oh nice jake he makes watching march mat march basketball so much more you can say march madness well it's not march madnessness. Okay.
Well, it is March Madness. It's March and we got Madness.
Well, that's next week. Yeah.
Yeah. Champ week.
Okay. Memes.
He's strong. Yeah.
Max, say something nice about yourself. Pass.
Okay. What is Pug? Ask Pug for something nice.
Pug's not in here. Yeah, just text him, though.
Yeah.

Send him a text.

Max, I also admired how you fought tonight.

We had subdued Max.

What did you call yourself?

Mundane Max?

Mundane Max.

Tried to tone it down a little bit.

The fire escaped, but that's fine.

Some of the fire is good, I think.

But I'm proud of the way that you held your own against Rico.

Yeah.

You did a good job.

And you fought hard, Max. And here's something else, Max.
Yeah, this is sad. Okay, all right, all right, all right.
Here's something else, Max, that I'm going to say. Do you know the movie What About Bob? Have you ever seen the classic What About Bob? No.
Bill Murray. Bill Murray.
Classic movie. 70s? 80s.
Shut the fuck up, Hank. Thank you.
Here's just the just the premise so forget about what about Bob but it's essentially like when you walk around and everyone is like that guy's crazy that guy's crazy and finally you have something happen where everyone's like no maybe he's not crazy Max Kyle Neptune sucks at coaching basketball you are not crazy he got absolutely worked by Shaka Smart the fact that he didn't call a timeout with 30 seconds left in the game when his team like eliminate the fact that maybe you say hey let's let the boys play we have something drawn up his team was staring at him looking for direction the point guard brought it to where they usually call the timeout and he was like nah just keep playing that guy is not a good basketball coach Jay Wright would have won that game it was disgusting and Shaka Smart I know it didn't count but the play that he called the fact that he had the ball inbounded past half court timeout to a perfectly drawn up play for the buzzer beater that didn't count but still that was the disparity in coaching so you're not crazy max kyle neptune's gotta go yeah i yeah i i watched it all year that's we lost five games by two by one possession every time we had a chance to win a game win a game we didn't do it unless it's against de paul like it was which that was tough that was a tough fight i'm not gonna say the cal neptune uh was looking at the spread but i will say the way he reacted when that shot was waved off when they they spent like three minutes reviewing the uh the last second shot by marquette turns out it was maybe on his pinky i't know. I still don't know whether it was on his pinky or not.
I think his salary is going to cost a lot more than whatever bet he must have had on that game. Which is why I'm not saying that he bet on it.
I'm not saying that, but I'm saying that he acted like a man who did after they waved that off. The look on his face when he found out he was going to overtime, utter disappointment.

He did not call a timeout on their last attempt in regulation to win the game.

He did, however, call a timeout in overtime down six points

with an opportunity to cover the spread.

He called that timeout, but he didn't call the first.

I'm just saying.

I'm not saying, but I'm saying.

Does that make sense? Not going it yes hank his facial hair is impressive pug oh nice max here's another spin zone for you uh i think with what happened against de paul and the fact that we've had a few bid steal bid stealers going down um i think you would have probably been out no matter what, and it would have sucked to have to get your hopes up after a win and then watch on Sunday and they don't announce Villanova's name. We've dominated Providence this year.
Okay, but I'm still saying. We beat them by 25 and then 15.
Yeah, that actually does suck because Providence was incredible against Graydon. If we beat Providence and go to the Big East final, you can't keep us out.
Yeah, that was a big upset. The good news is you had low expectations tonight, though.
So you didn't get hurt that bad. Yeah.
Providence played very, very well, beat Creighton. We also had NC State taking down Duke.
John Shire, hot seat. Maybe.
He was sweating on the sidelines. Well, as classic Duke fans, they were immediately just talking about how awesome their recruiting class is.
It was also classic Duke because after the game, they did post the final score on Twitter. Yep.
But they locked the comments. Yep.
Classic college shutting down free speech in America. A little bit of that going on these days.
They ended up unlocking the comments can unlock a comment yeah well everyone was i mean myself included i i just quote treated and said turn off turn back the return the replies back on cowards yeah i i kind of wish that they just left it locked so that we could continue to roast them for it yeah no it's way worse to when when you post the final score without posting uh without opening up the comments that's worse than not posting the final score yeah that's saying like i know you're about to make fun of me right don't do this right i'm soft and i need to i need i need a safe space away just don't even post the final well no that would be a problem too i i think it's better that they just don't post the final score than if they post it and then shut it down i think we're going to get to a point with social media that like teams are going to start doing like final score graphics you know how there there sometimes will be sponsors attached yeah they're going to be like final score graphic sponsor attached here's this child's go fund me you know they have cancer and they'll tag the child yeah so the child gets all the replies because because for some reason it's such a hilarious thing that these social media accounts whether or not they don't post the score or they turn off the replies, who the fuck cares? If you run the Duke account, you don't have to read the replies. Yeah.
Just post it and just go on with yourself. Yeah, what is the issue with it? They just don't want people seeing, they don't want their fans to have to read those replies? It's crazy.
It's like the softest thing ever. I don't understand it's like what what why not just post it it happened so uh yeah we had some we had some great basketball we had some crazy finishes um i'm trying to think of what else what i mean kansas lost last night kansas down bad it's weird seeing kansas and duke eliminated in the first round of their tournaments because usually kansas is like that is the bill self invitational most in most years in the big.
Yeah, we had St. John's advancing.
And I saw several times during the game, Rick Pitino does, in fact, talk to the referees. I think he may have pulled the wool over eyes on that one.
But yeah, good for St. John's.
Big East tournament's been very fun so far. Big East tournament's been a lot of fun.
Johnny Fanta texted me. He was, by the way, great job by John Fanta pumping up Red Panda.
That was great. Just two of the best people in the world in one clip.
But Rick Pitino said after the game, we have to play a different style in March, and it's called racehorse basketball. It takes the pressure off of you and allows you to play freely.
They also asked him how he can beat UConn, and he said, well, I need six of their guys to get COVID. Yeah.
Makes sense. We also had a very weird encounter after the Providence game.
A reporter asked if Kim English is married because he's hot. So that was weird.
What else? My Badgers might be back. They look good today.
That was crazy. They didn't miss.
They hit every single three. They didn't miss.
The Badgers were on fire. They did the one thing.
You don't want to play these Badgers. They did the one thing that's going to get me back in.
They started hitting threes again. Yeah.
Because I think in the month of February, they were like 15% from three points. And today, they just hit everything.
There's one point it was 80-40 against Scott Van Pelt's Maryland Terrapins. And yeah, I'm going to fall back in love, which sucks.
Yeah. Maryland looked awful.
Yeah. They've looked pretty bad.
They looked bad even when they won against Rutgers, but they managed to pull it off. Maryland, bad team.
Wisconsin, good team. Ohio State, good team.
Yeah, Ohio State's hot. Ohio State's real good right now.
This is Indiana. Yeah, they do it big.
Indiana's starting to reel off some wins. Yep.
Get some teams peaking at the right time. Yep.
What else? The Atlantic 10 was nuts. Yeah, so Loyola.
All four top seeds are out. Wow.
It's nine versus five and six versus seven in the semis. Yeah, Dayton loses.
So that's where you would have been maybe screwed, Max, because that whole conference just got fucked. You get to the Big East tournament, you're in the dance.

You mean the final?

The Big East final, you're in the dance. Yeah.

Yeah.

They also robbed from us the moment that we would have had on Sunday where we had a live

camera on Max as they announced the bracket.

And then if Nova hadn't made, then we would have gotten to see Max.

There's going to be a small part of him that's still.

Maybe.

Yeah, if I were.

I'm retired from March.

Oh, okay.

Retired from March.

Hank, what do you think about Duke losing?

You didn't really chime in.

Are you going to be a Duke fan this year or no?

This year, it's main event time.

It's main event time.

March Madness.

No, Cooper.

Cooper Flagg.

Yeah.

They didn't even try to take a three. Is that his nickname, main event? Yeah.
Main event. Main event time.
March Madness. No, Cooper.
Cooper Flag. Yeah.
They didn't even try to take a three. Is that his nickname, main event? Yeah.
Main event. It's main event time.
It is. Yeah.
I mean, fuck, I love this week so much, and it's just such a blur. It is.
It's so long. It's so long.
Starting and just chaos everywhere. I do feel beaten down by March already.
Oh, yeah. March won the first round against me.
That's a 10-7 round. Yeah.
That's a rare, rare 10-7. My body feels already broken, and we're two days in.
And, yeah, tomorrow we get to do it all again, and it's even better matchups and better games because, you know, you have all the teams like in the SEC who had buys, double buys. Big Ten had double buys.
We're getting everyone involved. We've got some semifinal games.
We're getting everyone involved tomorrow. It's going to be great.
Yep. We also had some NFL news.
Yeah. Bears are back, right? Keenan Allen.
I think Keenan Allen's a really good player. All right.
He has a hard time staying healthy. You have to say that whenever you talk about Keenan Allen.
But when he's playing, he's been consistently one of the better receivers in the league for, it feels like, 10 years. I can't be upset by people doing the same thing I do where if someone else, if you don't root for the Bears and they trade for Keenan Allen, you can easily be like, he's 32, he's old, he's injured.
That's fine. Ryan Poles is setting up Caleb Williams.
He's's gonna have the best setup for any quarterback that's ever like stepped onto a bear's yeah i got a question for you big cat so this is maybe the first time i remember a team being all in when they're about to draft a rookie quarterback they're not though you don't think the bears are all in no because they still have a shitload of cap space they didn't use it all so they're not all in yet they're partially They're partially. Are they all in your ass? No, I think they're a year away from being all in.
I think next year, I think the way that Ryan Poles is structuring this roster, like he didn't go nuts in free agency. The best free, you want a nice cliche, best free agent signing by the Bears? The one that you don't make? Jalen Johnson.
Okay, yeah. Keeping him on your team.
Turning guy. Yeah, keeping him on your team.
But yeah, I think they're setting up for Caleb Williams, and I think they'll probably trade the ninth pick now so they can get more picks because we don't have a ton of picks. But yeah, I like Keenan Allen.
Keenan Allen's really good when he's healthy. He's very, very good.
I know he's injured a lot, but he's very good when he's healthy, and now he doesn't have to be number one. He can be number two to DJ Moore.
To me, the big question is, who is Justin Herbert going to throw the ball to? Do we feel bad for Justin Herbert? No, I think it's memes meme. It's Adam Silver, but it's Jim Harbaugh's face.
Get ready to learn handoff, buddy. They're going to play some man football and just hand it off, hand it off, hand it off.
The Chargers need to reset everything. They do.
They were in cap hell. So they lost.
They traded Keenan Allen. They cut Mike Williams, right? Yeah,iams got signed by i don't know bosa restructured his contract yeah austin eckler gone so yeah they're gonna look totally different it's gonna be weird seeing the chargers next year but i still think they'll be good uh patrick mahomes congratulations you have a good wide receiver again got holly Brown.
Yeah, he's going to have like the best year ever.

Him teaming up with Kadarius Toney, Thunder and Lightning.

Actually, two Lightnings.

He's going to be incredible.

Also, shout out Patrick Mahomes.

He's reached the final step of a franchise quarterback, Super Bowl winning quarterback.

He's opening up a steakhouse.

Oh, good for him.

That's really it.

Like, you know, when you finally have made it.

You have to.

Renos, Elways.

You got to have it.

Is he going to have a signature dish, which is like swimming in ketchup a ketchup poke steak yeah ketchup comes as a side yeah a bottle of ketchup at every table hey do you want the sauteed mushrooms or do you just want the hinds yeah yeah they're they're naming it uh 1587 prime so it's kelsey and mahomes together that's good yeah but that does that feels like the actually i should say the final, final step is the steakhouse failing in like three years. Car dealership next.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then car dealership.
But, yeah, congrats to him. And then we had Aaron Rodgers found out really quickly that there's a difference between being hated by NFL fans and then hated in the political space because almost instantly after the news came out that was reported first by PFT, uh, by Leroy, there was a story that he's a Sandy Hook truther, which may, I don't know if it's true or not, but if you are a Sandy Hook truther and you don't think it happened, you're the biggest scumbag piece of shit on earth.
Yes. So here's, I agree's aaron rogers statement because he did post on twitter he said as i'm on the record saying in the past what happened in sandy hook was an absolute tragedy i am not and have never been of the opinion that the events did not take place again i hope that we learn from this and other tragedies to identify the signs that will allow us to prevent unnecessary loss of life my thoughts and prayers continue to remain with the families affected along with the entire Sandy Hook community.
Heart emoji and then hashtag. Hashtag nothing.
Makes you think, right? That does make me think. I like how he included his little signature hashtag nothing at the end of this very serious post.
So he's saying that it didn't happen, that he's never said that. It was like a CNN reporter that claimed that he said that to her and that there was another person that he said that to.

So I don't know what the truth is.

Aaron says he didn't say it, but one thing Aaron Rodgers has not denied yet

is that he's running for vice president.

So he went out of his way to make a statement denying that he said this

about Sandy Hook, has not denied that he's considering being RFK Jr.'s

running mate, and they're announcing the vice president for that ticket,

I think, next week in Oakland, California, in Northern California,

which is where Aaron Rodgers is from. Not from Oakland, but the area.
I think he's going to do it. I think he's going to run for vice president.
It's going to be hilarious. I don't know if he's going...
Is he going to retire, or is he going to try to do both? That's the real question. I still don't think he's going to do it.
No don't think so no i think that i mean aaron rogers likes attention he's so a lot of attention the i thought about this the ultimate out for aaron rogers right now he has the best opportunity in his mind presented in front of him on a silver platter right now which is to come out and say once again the new york times got it wrong fake news media right i'm not running for vice president right yeah and I think he would love to take that win yeah I just don't I just I don't understand it I I wonder if the Jets are quietly freaking out or they're like this is ridiculous there's no way it would be so I have a feeling that if you like I have a feeling there Rogers probably text texted the Jets front you know Joe Douglas and Robert Salah, and been like, hey, don't worry about it. There's just news, and I love being talked about.
I don't know. I mean, he loves being talked about.
We spent all season when he was injured talking about him. Yeah, so again, like we said on Wednesday's episode.
If you were signing up to be the vice president, you would have to have run that by the Jets at some point already. And you would only.
You can't just announce that and then talk to your organization. And you'd only do it if he was running for vice president with Trump, I would actually think there would be a chance.
Because you wouldn't do it if you had no chance of winning. Have you seen his record in the postseason? I'm just saying.
It would be like a. What's the word I'm looking for like which is fair no i know i want the takes i'm also thinking like we were talking about the jets history of quarterbacks it would be like you can't get any worse than this you finally think you have your guy after all these years you go out you spend like a full calendar year being like next year we're going to get aaron rogers you put on a full court press you you give in to all the Packers trade demands you finally get him you're like we got our guy finally the Jets have our quarterback the missing piece Super Bowl he comes in you get his wish list of players his former teammates you bring all of them in you go out of your way you pretty much make him the head coach of your franchise And then he gets injured after four snaps, five snaps.
And then the entire season, he's like, I'm going to come back. I'm going to come back.
And you're like, well, maybe we can do it this year. Maybe we can do it this year.
And then he just strings you along and he never comes back. And then that next offseason, you're like, well, next year, we've got everything in order.
This is the year that we win a Super Bowl. We have a quarterback.
And then he leaves you to run for vice president and gets 3% of the popular vote. That would be the ultimate Jets quarterback storyline.
It would. It's sad to say.
And I say this as a fan of a team that has our own long history of having shitty quarterback news. Like, we have a very sad tradition, Washington, of quarterbacks since, I i feel like 1991 but this this can't be topped if this actually happens that would be the worst would be done he'd be done as a human being just this conversation is making me uncomfortable just this conversation uh okay uh sam howell's gone yes sam howell's gone hold on let me do the uber eats ad read real quick uber eats when tuning into all the conference tournaments this weekend turn to uber eats for all your delivery needs uber eats is more than just food from your favorite restaurant i'm talking groceries convenience items and alcohol whether you need dog treats peanut butter st patrick's day decorations or beer or maybe all four uber eats can deliver almost almost anything uh what are you guys gonna order this weekend uber eats maybe soon cheeseburger cheeseburger i feel like it's a good cheeseburger weekend i like that salads ice cream i'm gonna get some ice cream so get grocery alcohol and everyday essentials in in addition to uh the restaurant food you love so in other words get almost almost anything with uber eats for alcohol.
You must be legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly.
Product availability varies by region. See app for details.
Uber Eats, you can get almost, almost anything. Yeah, Sam Howell gone.
Sam Howell gone. I realize.
Seahawks. Yeah, he's a Seahawk.
I can picture him in a Seahawks uniform. I think that's, it's actually, I think a good trade for both sides because we got a third rounder and a fifth rounder for sam howell we did give up a fourth and a six i believe okay we just like moved up in the draft um but i think it's a good trade for the seahawks too they have a he fills their drew lock backup position very nicely yes and uh i realized right after we traded him i i just recently purchased a sam howell jersey the most the most expensive one that you can get why would you do that because i'm a moron yeah well you're gonna draft a quarterback i just like it so then you start doing the math and and reading the tea leaves does that make it more likely that the uh commanders end up drafting jaden daniel that's what my instant knee knee jerk reaction was it was jaden daniel's move because if they were getting drake they're getting Drake Sam Howell and Drake May are good friends that would make sense like oh yeah you want him to be comfortable you have an emotional support quarterback right exactly you have a setup so yeah I think Jaden Daniels I think it might be Jaden especially because we got Marcus Mariota I feel like his style of play yeah run the same offense yeah sure sure so I can i can get i can talk myself into jane daniels very easily very he's very exciting one thing about jane daniels he has no desire to run for public office yet yet that you know of that i know of yeah is that going to be like a question that uh that gm start asking prospective quarterbacks at the Combine, like, do you think Sandy Hook actually happened?

Yeah.

Do you have any ideas or imaginations of power?

Yeah.

Delusions of grandeur.

Delusions of grandeur would be a good way to put it, yeah.

I don't think he's going to run.

I think Sam Howell, that was a good trade, I agree.

Yeah.

I think you'll actually get to play a little. He might.
He might. And he's a fine young quarterback.
Also, Mason Rudolph got traded to the Titans. So it is now firmly Russ versus Kenny.
Yep. Which, at least it's a little bit more clear.
And the Titans got a receiver, too. Who'd they get? Oh, they got, what's his name uh Calvin Ridley yep yeah so good job Titans putting a little something around Will Levis so I heard a theory today on on ESPN Chicago Big Cat I'm curious to hear your take of this uh the fact that Justin Fields hasn't been traded yet there's some speculation that Ryan Poles last year made a mistake in trading too early making move too early yeah when you can wait till closer to the draft or maybe a little bit after the draft in some cases uh if you're in like training camp and he thinks that justin fields value is going to get higher as you get closer to the draft maybe if you package him with with one of the picks yeah maybe yeah sure maybe he's playing chess yeah i mean there's listen this is a tough time right now just trying to get your wrap your head around there's a lot of factions in bear fandom there's a lot of people who think that justin fields is staying they have a lot of people who think that caleb is bad that you gotta trade all this stuff there's there's theories that ryan poles and justin fields have put this whole thing together.
They sat down and he was like, hey, first thing you're going to do is unfollow the Bears on Instagram and then we're going to get everyone talking about it. Then I've got a real nice puff piece coming out from Caleb Williams saying how much he wants to play for the Bears.
Oh, Caleb Williams was at the golf game today, so people were like, oh, he doesn't care. Golf game, I said.
I told you I was going to be a little loopy. My words weren't going to work.
The golf match. He was at the golf game today so people are like oh he doesn't care golf game i said yeah i told you i was gonna be a little loopy my words weren't gonna work the golf match he was at the golf game today and people were freaking out about that i just got there's an ace on 17 not impressive did he see it he's also wearing a t-shirt oh is that a problem t-shirt was he wearing a backwards hat oh jake has a problem with it what's the problem with him wearing a t-shirt at At a golf tournament? Who the fuck cares? It does go against the decorum of Sawgrass.
Yeah. Doesn't matter.
Think about the decorum, Big Cat. What's he going to wear behind the podium? Is he going to show up in a dress again? I want my quarterbacks to stop sticking out and start sticking it in.
Stick it. What was it? What was LeBron's? Stop fitting out.
Start fitting in. Fitting in, yeah.
I'm fine with crying, but you have to wear a golf shirt to a golf man. That's where you draw the line.
That's the line right there. Yeah.
Until I heard Jake say it, I was getting ready to just go all in on Caleb Williams being a classless piece of shit, but hearing the words come out of his mouth, I'm like, you know what? I don't care. There's a lot of t-shirts at a golf match.
I don't think so. Yeah.
Golf match. Not, but like it's TPC sawgrass.
Come on. Let's see.
I'll tell you this, but I didn't, I didn't dream of wearing a non-colored shirt when I played there. Didn't dream of it.
If you're inside the ropes, people got to be comfortable. Let's see.
All right. I'm looking up Caleb Williams.
Yeah. PFC is wearing a comfortable golf shirt.
It's Roback. That's true.
This is crazy.

This is where you draw the line. This is your this is how you're in.
I hit a hole in one.

Roback.

Facts. Is it?

You were playing golf.

Yeah.

That's different. Out of golf course.
Alright, I'm counting

in the picture with Caleb

Williams. There is one

there's three

sweatshirts

three t-shirts, and it looks like actually four t-shirts. I mean, this guy is fitting.
No one's dressed up nice at this fucking event. I'm literally looking at a picture right now.
There's three guys in sweatshirts, and there's four t-shirts I'm looking at That's crazy Come on Jake Come on It's Friday too If it was Sunday maybe you'd have an argument It's Friday At TPC That's not on Caleb That's on the tournament If you have a dress code you have to enforce it for everyone Stupid tournament That's not on Caleb. That's on the tournament.
If you have a dress code, you have to enforce it for everyone. Stupid tournament.
That's not my fault. Excitement is rising.
He's walking. Wait, I'm pausing.
I'm going to count the t-shirts. I got one.
I got two. I got three t-shirts in this screen grab.
There's t-shirts everywhere at this thing. of here you guys you got you golf guys are just too many rules too many rules max play this is all gonna suck if they somehow don't draft kale Williams and I spent two months just defending him just non-stop yeah some franchise that's my quarterback franchise is gonna get some some runoff defense from you yeah they're definitely I'll I'll write a report for whoever drafts him.
I'll be like, here's how you defend him against people like Jake, who are mad about... Jordan Spieth's not even wearing a golf shirt.
Jordan Spieth stunk. Yeah, he was.
That would be sick, though. He stunk today.
Max played really well. Max is in the thick of it.
Three back, right? Shut our guy, Max. Yep.
I'm just focused on hoops. Golf can wait.
Golf has a time, and it's right after March Madness and going to Augusta. That's when golf season starts.

Yeah. Yeah.
And he goes, I just want to be on a winning team, was his response, which I thought was rude. I mean, I've always been, when people are like, oh, you could have Patrick Mahomes.
It hurt for like three or four years. And then I had the realization, like, if we had Patrick Mahomes, he would have just been hit by a bus.
Something bad would have happened to him. Yeah.
Injury year one, probably. Crossing Michigan Ave, just being like, bus hit him.
Patrick Mahomes is dead have just been hit by a bus like something bad would have happened to him yeah injury injury year one probably crossing Michigan Ave just being like bus hit him Patrick Mahomes is dead yeah it's something weird like something would have fallen from the L and hit him in the head you know what I mean something would have broken his neck somehow in a weird way we would have not gotten lucky with him either they're good dudes man happy for him I you know I'm a Chicago guy sports Chicago sports through and through but I support those guys because it's so much fun to watch a team win sometimes well it also it sucks it's just it's hard yeah you've also we struggle with this because when you become true friends with some of these guys like you're rooting for them because they're your friends yeah I want to see them do also they're not competing against me right that's like the same thing I talk about in stand-up when someone gets mad that someone's career takes off. You know, like all this internet hype about Matt Reif, all these people mad at him.
It's like, he's not taking your fans. Right.
What do you care? I never understood that. It's like, this is not a competition, man.
Right. That guy's got a separate thing.
The Bears and the Chiefs have no beef. None.
So it just doesn't mean anything to me. So I like watching them succeed.
I'm happy for those guys because they're legit. They've always been cool to me.
So I like them. Do I wish the Bears were better? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
I wish we got our shit together and could do something. Yeah.
Might be next year. Caleb Williams.
Yeah. I think Caleb Williams is the man.
I do too. But I don't know if this is just like a crush just like everything else where I'm like Don't care.
I know. I'll'm gonna do it again i did it right i did with fields i'm gonna do it again i did with mitch this is just like relationships where you're like she's great dude he lawless all your friends are like i don't know man with caleb it's like i i think a lot of people want to find reasons to hate him but recently his interviews he's been doing he seems like just a good dude i don't i don't see any reason to hate.
I mean, I just think he, you know, you're going to get, when you're the top, you're going to, everyone wants to shoot at you. So everyone's going to want to criticize everything.
So that comes with the territory. But I'm a fan.
I'm in on the dude. I think he's the man.
Here's the thing, too, is that I explain it when everyone's like, what if Caleb Williams sucks? Like, what do you mean? I'll just be back to where I've been. Been there before.
Been everywhere. Yeah, it's like getting into a warm bath.
Right. I know the feeling.
It's fine. It's like a new stepdad coming in.
You're like, maybe this one doesn't suck. I don't know, dude.
We'll find out. And what if he does suck? We'll just get another one.
Fine. Yeah.
We'll just reset the clock. Another bill coming through the house.
Yeah, no, I think he could be a great answer. So we'll find so we'll find out i mean i'm i'm still you know i'm still rooting for for the bulls right now too i want i'm still on my train oh shit i still love him that's yeah uh wait so have you met taylor swift no you're not that close of friends no i just don't impose yeah it always is tough to be in like i want to hang out with them i don't really i mean this sounds rude it's just i don't care i don't impose.
Yeah. It always is tough to be in like, I want to hang out with them.
I don't really, I mean, this sounds rude. It's just I don't care.
I don't know how to say that without sounding mean. It's just like Travis came out to LA a week ago.
We played golf and I don't know. It's like old school with me.
It feels like when we first met. Right.
Like it's the same guy. Right.
This is the only thing I ever cared about. When people become super famous or super successful or something big happens the same thing with gillis like i've known shane for a minute and i love i'm so proud for his success right and he's the same cat right that's to me that's all that matters yeah if you're the same guy you know you don't compromise the the people that you really still you know have relationships with from the past that's all that's all that matters and travis is the same way it just i'm not going to be like hey can i come to the game and sit in i don't want to do that yeah i have no business doing that the big question is how quickly did you hit them up after they won the super bowl um i'm trying to think of a real answer and a comedy answer at the same time okay i think i i actually think i hit them like three days later two or three days that's a good time respectable i think like a half week is an appropriate congratulations like before the parade yeah probably it's probably yeah probably yeah right i think three days is probably what it was i can actually look but it's like seven days for a bad loss is what i always go off funny dude i don't do bad losses i don't say anything really never no way nothing i don't want to even acknowledge it.
I'll wait a week and just be like, hey, sorry, man. No, see, it's like my buddy runs, a good buddy of mine runs Steph Curry's Entertainment Company.
He runs their television and film division. And he's got two little boys.
They're like my little, you know, my godsons, you know. And they were like, we're going to go watch Steph play when they come they come to LA.
And I said, Oh, this is going to be great. So we're up in the box and the warriors lose.
And one of the sons was like, is Steph going to come say hi? And his dad was like, I don't think so. But yeah, he's like, can we go say hi to him? He's like, I don't think so, but yeah, I think we're gonna, I think we'll talk to Steph another time yeah do you go to chiefs games i've been to a few yeah the playoff one this year seemed like it would have been a crazy scene yeah i've been to a few i just i went to um arrowhead's awesome i went to we were in denver and i took my wife's family to a game and pat was nice enough to set us up in his box um with his family and the first time my wife's parents have ever been in like a suite or anything it was just to like see him they're so excited was awesome they were like so stoked about it and i don't know it was a nice little family moment but uh we watched them play the broncos and then one more game and that's all but over the years i've gone to a few games that is the best though like having like other people get to share and like the cool perks yeah it is you get it's like it's like to you know it's like uh you take kids to disneyland and you see it's like you see the parents smiling because they're watching yeah the kids it's like they're living through them again it's so cool but when people adults are there alone without kids no bueno yeah I have a hard, steadfast rule.
I don't get that thing. The Disney adults? It's so cool.
But when adults are there alone without kids, no bueno.

Yeah.

Yeah. I just, dude, I have a hard, steadfast rule.

I don't get that thing.

The Disney adults.

It's weird.

Dude, I live in California.

I live in Southern California.

When I see all these people that have like yearly passes and I'm like, you guys have kids?

Yeah.

And they're like, no.

And I'm like, okay.

Yeah.

I don't think we can talk anymore.

Isn't there like a Pleasantville neighborhood in like Florida that like they built like

a Disney community?

Just for Disney adults?

I haven't heard about that, but it wouldn't shock because the disney adults are they're real freaks i'm pretty sure there is it just scares me they care so much about disney world too they'll like write detailed reviews right it was that one guy that one dude there was a columnist that wrote an article about like how um what was the one that they changed was it splash mountain they changed it because it had some like racist shit from the south in there. Yeah.
So they changed some of the characters, and this guy wrote this long op-ed piece about how it ruined the immersive experience that he loves as a Disney adult. And the picture of the guy was this big, fat, 350-pound guy wearing Hawaiian shirt, the prototypical Disney adult.
But I do love the fact that like tentpole cultural phenomenon like disney world or whether it's like a big massive show you get people that are the biggest nerds that care about it so much but they actually end up protecting whatever that piece of art is sure so like they're the watchful guardians of disney world making sure that it remains pure and well it's like they would say the same and to give them credit for devil's advocate they say the same thing about you guys in this world right yeah you're disney nerds for sports that's true no every time it's the same thing that's fair every time i'm like oh the swifties are psychos and i'm like wait i do that literally every sunday my happiness is dependent on another like group of guys except my thing is made for grown-ups and Disney is made just for children. That's true.
Sports are made for adults, right?

Kids can... like group of guys except my thing is made for grown-ups and disney is made just for children that's sports are made for adults right kids can love them but entertainment on that high level of professional sports that's for adults right to enjoy yeah for kids to be there too you're making me feel better yeah kind of yeah but also like sports are also made for kids and so like when i get worked up if they change a mascot i'm like what the fuck bring back the old oh you get mad about that piggly mascot yeah well because what the like the commander like the commanders they change their name every couple years i'm like this new name sucks bring back you know bring back the redskins i miss that i think we're gonna go full loop in society we're gonna go back to it'll be even more racist than the redskins yeah somehow they'll find a way you know what i mean we've gone so far away we'll loop right back.
I don't know. Chief Wahoo, the Indians logo, like that one lasted for a very long time.
Because he was awesome. Yeah, but you saw it.
You're just like, oh, yeah. When someone pointed it out, you're like, oh, yeah, I guess.
Yeah, it was embarrassing. I guess that is true.
Yeah, but you know what? I think it's like our teams. It's like Blackhawks.
They've got the okay to keep being Blackhawks. Yeah.
The Illini got the okay. Yeah.
I think if you get the okay, then it doesn't really matter what anybody says. Obviously, Cleveland didn't want to fight hard enough to keep Wahoo their guy.
Yeah. And that's on them.
That's a reflection of the city. You got to fight.
Bad sports town. Yeah, dude.
What can I say? That's on you guys, man. All right.
So you're in a new movie too i am we're uh we're the number one movie on amazon prime video i kept trolling when we were doing press um because they don't want you to say amazon they just wanted you to say prime video okay but i would constantly be like when we were doing foreign press i was just talking i would talk about my relationship with bezos and all that stuff and you could tell the pr people were like please don't do that please stop doing that yeah because i was like i'll call him now i like i'll ring up the b right now but no yeah it's on prime video it's me john cena zach efron jermaine fowler me efron jermaine fowler um play best friends as as you know like childhood best friends and we cause trouble as kids like we do you know when you break light stuff on fire, ruin stuff. And then we use an alibi.
We make up a name. Ricky Stenicki.
That's the name of the movie. And then we've used him as an alibi our whole life.
To get out of shit, to go to World Series games, to go golf trips. And finally our wives and girlfriends are like, where is this guy? Who is this? So we have to hire an actor, John Cena, to play this fake character.
Oh, I like it. It's cool.
Zac Efron's the man. Yeah, he's a good dude, man.
Everybody on it was cool. It was actually like an easy shoot we shot in Melbourne, Australia.
And Pete Fairley directed it, the guy that did Dumb and Dumber, something about Mary. How long were you there for? It was about two months, I think.
Oh, wow. And then my mom, my family came out, which was I was like I want you know when are we ever going to be back right so um I took them down there and we traveled around a little bit and uh I had a blast I I the movie's fun man it's cool so are you do you think that you're inching towards maybe being like the lead role in a big movie no I would be big for gingers not if I still have red hair yeah yeah would.
Would you dye your hair? You'd be up there with Andy Dalton, just the king of gingers. He's pretty good looking.
Yeah. I mean, I just think they're never going to make a ginger a lead.
Even when I see people buy our merch, me and Bobby Lee's podcast, when people buy our merch and they have my face on there, I'm still like, they're not going to wear that outside though, right? Because my head's on it. is an orange head on it you know what i mean it's just i always get self-conscious that i'm like they don't want to wear my shit with my head on it orange guys something about orange men they just it's hard to lead a movie yeah but i feel like you might be the guy i highly doubt it in all ginger cast yeah like willow except for ginger disgusting dude who wants to watch that? Has anyone in Hollywood been like, listen, you're very talented, but there's a ceiling to what you got because of- I think I had somebody tell me one time that they tested me on a pilot and they asked about toning down my hair.
Because they were like, it's just way too much. Just nerf it? But it is, dude, on see right when you go like watch these movies it's memorable i'm so bright it's like i'm the

brightest dude in the room it makes you stand out yeah but that's bad dude you want to blend

in a little bit something especially if like imagine if i'm doing like a murder scene or a

death scene and the orange bobblehead comes in who did it no i think i'm just going to continue

where i'm at right now and i keep making stuff i don't really i don't really have the drive to be

I don't really i don't really have the drive to be i don't need like the star of the film right

also that's kind of dead yeah it is movie stars are gone man it's basically just uh tom cruise

that's it we're working on a we're i'm working on something right now that is a uh like a buddy

comedy thing like that i can do you know like a duo thing that i'm totally into that is like a buddy comedy thing.

That I can do, you know, like a duo thing.

That I'm totally into.

Right.

But like a single the movies about me type of shit?

No way, dude.

I don't even want that, really.

I want it now.

You do?

Yeah.

Dude, ever since you guys left and came to Chicago,

you really need that fame bump again, right?

No, for you.

No, I want it for you.

Oh, I thought you said for you.

No, I want it for you.

I want it for the ginger community. I want to be like, hey, yeah, we know Santino, friend of ours.
He is like the king of an entire generation. Yeah.
If Bill Burr can't do it, I don't think I've got a shot. Yeah, although he did.
You're right, because he did like once he shaved his head, he started to get more roles. That's right, dude.
You got to shave your head. Then he gets old dads and all this stuff.
Yeah, you're stuff yeah you're right they're like saying we want you as the star of a romantic comedy and we're gonna pay you 40 million dollars but we want you to dye your hair let me stop you right there yeah you had me at 40 million yeah your head off yeah yeah whatever you want i'll lose a limb for 40 million dollars bill called me like uh a couple months ago i don't even know how long ago it was but it's a very like a very burr phone call. Because he was like, I picked up.
I'm like, hey, man, what's up? He goes, hey, how old are you? Didn't even say hi. Nothing.
How old are you? I go, I was 39 at the time. So it was right before my, it was actually months ago now.
Because I said, 39, I'll be 40 in October. And he goes, 40, you can play my son.
And I was like, I think so. And he goes, okay.
And then he hangs up. There was no, it was straight up just like, I need this information.
I don't want to chit chat. That's all I need to know.
I don't want to look it up online. Yeah, so I think he's joked about it before in the past.
It would be rad if we did something where he played like an older brother so yeah and i was like that we could do a two-hander with that i would probably be able to get away with in hollywood as leads you know what i mean and then you'd have to have the love interest and all that stuff be actually attractive people to stare at yeah yeah he's the best on the phone he calls me uh like maybe twice a year just to bitch about like a play in a football game yeah and i'm like what once i was like why why are you calling me he's like none of my friends are watching this game i know you are yeah you're watching every he'll just be like i literally will pick up and it'll just be like i fucking hate when cornerbacks the ball's thrown 10 yards out of out there and they're doing a celebration yeah and then just be like that'll be it yeah he's like all right cool he's good at uh he he's um i love bill he's just he's an interesting creature man he's like his own he's like his own little enigma and he's kind of like a guy i can't put my finger on i don't really know how he moves you know like yeah i see him it's always good to see him but i don't know if it's it's always good to see me yeah you don't yeah he keeps you on your toes yeah he does yeah always but that's what makes him kind of brilliant yeah i mean i think he also is just such a busy consumed dude you know what i mean that he's like he's doing he's he's doing something right i love his podcast though his podcast is it's very hard to do what he does yeah which is just sit down and just scream into a microphone like an hour and a half dude guys like us we need someone else you know what i mean like i need someone else to bounce with i don't want to just talk alone i'll i don't know i'd lose myself yeah he's

like the definition of dudes will literally start a podcast and say go into therapy yeah right i'm

just gonna i'm gonna use all of america as my therapist but it's great because they'll like

make himself laugh and they'll like stop and they'll just be like you're just you're just in

a room by yourself right now and it's fucking rock i think that's his that's his that's his

writing too i bet you he that's kind of got to be his process for like writing and creating i would

imagine is talking it out talking it out talking it out and then putting it down on paper yeah that seems like his rhythm anyway because he's not a guy who's gonna like have a crew of writer you know what i mean like there's a lot of famous guys that we know that have teams of writers or they have a clique of dudes that are always kind of around taking notes writing and there's nothing wrong with whatever whatever your process is but i feel like he's just he is such a lone you know lone eagle he's like out doing his thing and then that's how he kind of probably put shit together so i about that writing you had a great special on netflix cheeseburger that's right in the fall yeah uh was awesome everyone should go watch it when you finish a special is there a little bit of like Are you like all right I was done with that material or is there a feeling like fuck now I gotta go back and I gotta reinvent an entire hour yeah you do I mean you have to throw that away I mean there's no rules to it but like we all kind of adhere to the same thing I mean it's an unwritten we just you dump it right it's kind of like that not everyone there's dudes that still do their stuff and that's whatever you want to do. I mean, there's no rule to it.
But culturally, I think most standups throw it away. Start on a new hour and you slowly piece it together.
Like now I'm doing at the end of the month, I start Houston and I'm doing just clubs. I'm going to get it, get away from theaters for six states, six, seven dates just to massage this new hour that I've got.
before I go into theaters in the fall or anything like that so i'm doing six just six cities just trying to feel it out totally different markets it's like houston tampa san francisco i just want like the polar opposite markets i was talking to my agent i was like put me in places where i'm not going to get the exact same crowd every time right so these were kind of the best that we came up with to be like i want different cultural socioeconomic vibes different parts of cities

but yeah like i just think about it and like if i ever if i had if i was a comedian i did a like

sick hour and put out a special i'd be like i don't want to do it again like everyone watch

that forever yeah well remember when i was that remember when i put that out it was done yeah

it was so awesome you want to be done but also uh it's hard starting again you'll you'll have like little nuggets of stuff and then you start to massage those and then you slowly but surely peel chunks from that and that but it's daunting there's tons of moments in between where you're it sucks it sucks dude it's got to be in my mind how like if an athlete is injured and they're training again because they know they're better than what's happening. Right.
They're like, dude, I'm so much better than this. I don't know why I can't put it together.
Right. It's just the restrictiveness is there.
So then slowly but surely after time, you're like, OK, great. Now I've got 15.
Great. Now I've got 25.
Now I've got 30 that I like. And you shave down and add.
And then it's a great process. I think the beginning is the most painful when you're building.
But also when it starts to click, ugh. It's got me the best feeling, yeah.
Well, when they're still new to us. Right.
When they're new to you, they're phenomenal. And you get that pop.
Do you try to have a theme for your new stand-up when you're working on it? Is there one thing that you think about and you're like, I'm going to build my set set around this one topic i think it happens kind of organically but like uh this one's gonna be all about hamas no no no this one's uh this one honestly is probably gonna be a lot about um health my health and fan like my stuff that's going on with me like uh i i just had this I'm just having such a weird chunk of time in my life where like people in my family who got sick or stuff that happened to people I know and then I had this weird herniated disc that led to this MRI that showed this this um hip impingement and all this other shit that was going on and I had to go through all and then I had to get my heartur was messing up, and then I had to go get on medication. It was like everything happened at once.
Yeah. It was like I was cruising along, and then everything happened once.
And then so I put away booze. I put away certain foods for a little while.
I'm back on the booze. This is scaring me because we're the same age.
Well, it's like. Yeah, 40.
We're both 39. It happened out of nowhere, man.
Fuck. Your late 30s happened, and then you just accumulate injuries for the rest of your life.
It's like you wake up one day, your knee hurts, and you're like, well, I guess my knee's going to hurt until I die. Yeah.
Oh, I feel like we just golfed on the sim a little bit, and my back is killing me. I was like, I shouldn't have done that.
Why am I doing this? I didn't stretch. Because when I play golf, I stretch a lot.
I get ready for it. This was dumb.
This was me sitting on planes coming here, and then that was the dumbest thing I could have done. But you do get, yeah, your body starts to slowly tell you this is no good anymore.
You don't really get to do this anymore. But you have a good swing, though.
It's okay. It's not bad.
I've been playing some good golf. I like that people go sometimes online.
They find my handicap, and then they just get online and talk shit. What's your handicap? I'm a, uh, I'll tell you what I am.
So am so you know this is when everyone says what their handicap is get the gin out give me the app yeah give me the app whenever someone i'm a 2-2 index so that's pretty good pretty damn good 2-2 is pretty good yeah i'm all right but it's like people talk shit online they love to talk shit oh that's all golf golf is the worst talk shit because it's impossible to prove it because you're like when am i going going to play you, guy in West Virginia? Yeah. You come to my club.
I'll bet a grand straight up. You're like, dude, get out.
I'm not playing some lunatic from the internet. We got a guy here, Riggs, who foreplay podcasts, and they do great golf stuff, but he started a series where he's just calling out haters and he's golfing with them.
Smart. Yeah.
That's the move. I wanted to do – I actually thought because of all that nonsense i thought about um creating kind of like a charity event where it's like come play guys that you talk shit about and the money that we earn from it will be donated to a charity of my choice i like that that for me was a way to justify doing any of that dance like putting up with their bullshit yeah so film it have a crew of celebrities who golf take on dickheads that just want to play them and then that money to charity.
And to be a charity that the guy hates. 100%, yeah.
Like something that he's really not going to want to get. Something he's going to get, like kid cancer.
Something that guy really, he wants cancer to win every time. That's how we'll propose it.
Yeah. It's going to be a fair fight here.
Right. I just started talking about it not too long ago because I'm doing this, you know i can talk about it a little bit but i'm in the middle of negotiating with live uh to go do start a network with them oh yeah yeah you were out there we missed you when you were we won dude i won the pro you did yeah we won it me pat perez uh eugenio uh chikara was our was the two you do one pro on nine and the other pro on the back nine.
Yeah. And then Titus O'Neil, who's an ex-wrestler.
And then I'm drawing a big blank. You won the whole thing? Yeah, we won.
We got the plaque sent to us not too long ago. I'm pretty proud it's in my office.
Were you a little bit nervous? Because we played in that same, but it wasn't on Pro-Am Day, right? It was like before the Pro-Am. You guys played the day before.
Yeah, day before. Yes, that's right.
It was a scramble, all of us against Brooks Koepka, which was- No, thanks for the invite on that. Would have rathered that, but that's all right.
You can come next time. I want to.
They're going to do another one here. I love that, dude.
I think they're in here in September. But we were nervous because we all kind of stink at golf, and we thought we were playing the Pro-Am Day, and we thought there would be people that would be lined up for our shots.
We were actually thinking we were going kill somebody because they stand really close to the tee off. Were you nervous at all? Not really.
I mean, not really. Honestly, it's also you're with pros, so ironically enough, it takes the heat off of you.
It's like you don't feel pressure. I felt pressure on the first tee.
Then after that, I didn't even think about it because the pros are doing their thing, and you're really watching the pros. almost like you're just getting to hang with them yeah and if you did hit a bad shot nobody gives a shit no one's thinking about it you're really just everyone's just watching what the pro is doing i was i wasn't worried about hitting like a bad shot i was worried about hitting a shot that would kill someone yeah kill someone like shank it so bad that it goes to the side what are you gonna do yeah you know what i mean it happens people do get hit by don't stand there yeah yeah especially when an amateur is going yeah that's your fault have you seen that clip of that girl online that that woman she hits a girl off the tee and she tees it up again and she hits it to the exact same spot little kid is like make it stop oh yeah it's i that's why like we went to riv i just went and uh was following Homa around Riv when he was out there.

And it is funny how people lean their heads over the T-Boc.

They'll lean their heads over the rope, literally.

And I was watching this guy do it, and I thought, well, I'm not going to stop him, and Homa's not going to hit him.

But how annoying is some dummy's head right in your sight line?

He's leaning over the rope.

That's why they have to put the rope.

If they didn't put ropes, those savages would like hug them while they're swinging. Yeah.
We got a very important question about this. Yeah.
You're walking with Max Homa the whole time. Not all of it.
I walked nine. Some of it.
Yeah. Did anyone call him a pervert? No.
Okay. Why? Does that happen? We had a problem.
Max is a good friend of ours. We started calling him a pervert on this podcast.
Because he's Italian. He's Italian.
Yeah. And then all of our listeners started calling him a pervert on this podcast because he's italian he's italian yeah and then all of our listeners started calling a pervert on the golf course and then we had a moment where max was like hey it's not really me like but my caddy is so sick of it like can you tell everyone to please stop yeah so we had to do like you gotta stop we had to make an order like if you do it you're a scumbag so it's good's actually worked.
No one did it at real. Because it got really bad for a while.
He was like, he'd be in a big tournament and people would be like, what's up, Max, you pervert? It was more like, I don't think you'd want to say anything to him. He was not giving me the what's ups at all because I think he was having a tougher day.
I don't think you'd want to check him on that day. He looked pretty pissed.
He he wasn't like uh he wasn't doing any like the the the niceties yeah he was not in a good mood that's the worst part about golf like even the professionals they go out there and they have a day and there's like what's going on and you and they and they see you staring at them and it's got to be annoying golf's got to golf's got to be shit too in the regard where if you're the if you're the guy if you're like the guy and you know the other dude you're playing with he just knows that everyone's watching you and doesn't you know are watching him and not not looking at your shit yeah that always messes with my head where you're like this poor dude it's like no attention given to him he makes good putt no one cares right that sucks to me they're what they're only watching the other dude yeah to, the funniest guys at a golf tournament are the ones that,

well, first of all, they wear spikes if you go to watch your favorite golfer play.

You're like, I'm going to put my shoes on so I get good traction on this course.

And then if there's a ball that goes slightly off the fairway,

seeing everybody sprint to that ball to get a good spot to watch the next swing.

It's so funny watching these grown men just sprint down a golf course.

Just to get his clothes.

And the cop has to push them physically away to be like, dude, chill out. Yeah.
Chill out. He needs to hit.
It's more annoying to me when someone is hogging their space and their phone is right in their fucking face. Yeah.
I hate that, dude. Yeah.
What are you doing with that footage? What are you going to do? Breaking down like the swing. Yeah.
You can post it and be like, hey, I noticed you dropped your hands a little bit too early. Yeah.
It's like a concert. When people have their phone on a concert, it's like a concert video is the worst footage ever.
And it's going to sound like... Yeah, it sounds terrible and you watch it back and you're like, why did I do this? You're taking it to post online to be like, look where I was.
Yeah. So that other people can see where you were.
I get it. Take a picture.
Put your phone away. Yeah.
Like I never got that. I just didn't enjoy it.
I'm above it you're with your kid take a photo video that's cool but there's adult men that are there all day with it recording all day long uh shame on if you're gonna do that just get a gopro on your head that's cooler seriously to me it's cooler way cooler if you got a head and the body brace one where you or the camera that's up that looks up at people so it's like just their nose is all you see yeah it's all fucked up i'm cool with if you're trying to do something unique with it but it's just the same dude on his phone following guys all day i think it's creepy shit yeah so you can go home and you put on your your apple vision pro and then you get to relive you get to like live the day again on your couch andrew santino is being brought to you by three chi the premier place for cannabis products they've just launched their new line of true strains vapes and gummies that give tailored cannabis experiences.

I saw Max was working out yesterday, hitting the gym. I did some squats yesterday here in the office, some power cleans, loaded up with some Optimum Nutrition afterwards.
In fact, the only thing Max ate all day yesterday before the pancakes was a protein shake. Yeah, the scoop of Optimum Nutrition right after my workout.
And it got him ready to go. Max absolutely crushed those 18 pancakes.
And he doesn't even feel bad today. He said he felt like he had a normal dinner last night.
And probably because the optimum nutrition was working his body out, his muscles were building, he used all that pancake for fuel. But optimum nutrition is delicious.

Can we just watch TV together? Like it puts you, it's very cool.
There's some cool stuff that you can do on it, but I also feel like it's like probably two years ahead of its time where there's not enough stuff to do. Sure.
You can watch like the same four videos. But the tech looks amazing.
I had an, somebody gave me a somebody o'connor uh who opened for gillis he bought me um an oculus the the original oculus yeah and i loved it because it was the beginning of the pandemic and we played golf together yeah because he was in new york and i was in la so we'd get on at night i'd tell my wife i'd be like i'm gonna go i'm gonna play golf in the in the front room and she'd be like oh god exactly yeah so she would take videos of me like an idiot yelling and laughing into my oculus playing golf with those guys but after that wore out I was over it fast yeah I was like ah dude I don't know anymore just it's a little like distract it's just I don't need it yeah I got over it there's nothing that this does so much better than like my computer or my phone I already have enough screens in my life well you watch porn on it though no you can't watch porn that's the thing throw that thing in the trash yeah i know what does that work it is the ultimate porn guy thing yeah that's what that's for that's the first thing i did in the oculus yeah literally the first thing was like i want to see what it looks like so i've got one of the videos the 3d videos or whatever they're all immersive and amazing Then the second or third time, completely over it. Right.
Completely. Then you start to get really picky about the details.
You're like, that looks so stupid. She looks like her shoulder looks massive because the angles are so weird.
Yeah. So you get over it.
It just doesn't, I don't know. And then you imagine yourself wearing the Oculus in a room just like jacking off with

this big helmet on.

You're like, this is sad. Well, I would take videos of myself and watch it back later jerking off of the Oculus on.
You have to. Watch your game tape.
I'm critiquing my form. Yeah, I just wanted to see my form, dude.
The old 22? You got to get shallow on that stroke, dude. What's the dumbest thing you've bought now that you have some money? I don't know that much.
I just a couple bucks. The dumbest thing I probably bought in the recent years was...

Well, this... you've bought now that you have some money i don't know that much i just a couple bucks the dumbest thing i probably bought uh in the recent years was um well these were dumb this was a stupid i bought these in new york i got suckered into buying these travis scott shoes how much are

they i don't even know i don't i they were expensive as shit they were more than they

should be every every guy i feel like goes through an expensive shoe phase and they're just like why

did i do that i like shoes i love you too but i didn't mean to want i this is how dumb i am

Thank you. should be every every guy i feel like goes through an expensive shoe phase and they're just like why did i do that i like shoes i love you too but i didn't mean to want i this is how dumb i am i have the travis scott golf shoes of these like they make them in golf shoes these ones and i love the ones that's my favorite shoe to walk in um and i was like oh well i want to get the um i want to get the regular ones that aren't the golf shoes and then so i saw the ones that i have have that aren't golf shoes.
They're street shoes. And then the guy was like, yo, you know what's really dope is these black ones.
And he was chatting with me and he was a fan and he was cool. So I kind of got, you know, I got like enamored with the conversation.
And then he took me up to the front desk. And I think they were like, I don't even know, 700 bucks or something absurd.
That's crazy. Yeah, like when I say expensive shoes, like I would buy like $400 shoes.
I'd be like, why? I'm not even wearing them. This is the dumbest thing I've bought in a long time.
This is probably- They look good though. Well, I'm wearing them every day now because I'm like, I'm getting my work done.
That's the thing. It's like, I have all these shoes and then I found out like I would just wear the same shoes every day.
I'd wear the same comfortable pairs every day. Yeah.
Yeah. Just look at the other ones and be like, what? I'm going to wear them because I paid too much for them.
So this this is the i haven't done something this dumb in a long time overpaid for something so stupid but i felt like if i didn't buy them i would look lame yeah in front of this cool dude yeah you know what i mean it's like oh it's reverted right back to like junior high right yeah we're just like well if you don't jump i mean we're all jumping but if you don't jump it's not a big deal yeah i don't jump i'm a bitch dude i have to jump they like tell you the price and then you're like uh no thanks and you take it back that's a bad moment i can't do it right i got that happened to me with pillows when i was in new york i was buying pillows right and i get up to the cashier and she scans them and they were like 250 pillows and i was just like fuck i'm gonna look like such an asshole if i just say no these pillows are too expensive today so i was like yeah sure i'll buy 500 pillows. Insane.
On a whim. And then the pillows sucked.
And then I had to live with them for like five years because they're $500 pillows. The pillows always suck at that price point.
Yeah. They can't be good.
There's no way they're good. They've boosted it up to make you feel like they might be special.
Like these are no special than the regular Jordan 1 Lowe's. It's the same shoe.
Yeah. There's literally no different.
Yeah. It's just Travis Scott put his name on it and they're a little cooler looking.
suckers oh i'll tell you actually i'll tell you some dumb shit i did when i was back here and we played the chicago theater um uh i i wanted to take my wife and get her uh like a like a purse a bag she wanted this color of a bag and so we went down like on michigan avenue and just as a surprise i was like there's a, I think a color bag that you like at Gucci. And she was like, really? Seriously? And I was like, yeah.
And she's like, that's, we're not buying a Gucci purse. I was like, it's a little bag.
It's not like a crazy, it's a time. This is the color you like.
And we go in there, same shit. This is how much of a loser I am.
There's this like really like smooth, suave gay dude. Who's just like, you know, he was like, oh, I love your hair.

Like, look at the color.

The color goes good against this.

And he's showing me Gucci shirts and jackets.

And I'm like, oh man, that's not, I don't really, I'm good on all that.

I just want to get out of the purse.

Then sure enough, 20 minutes goes by.

He's got me buying a Gucci shirt jacket.

I've never owned anything by them.

I bought this thing.

I didn't look at the, I gave him the card. We were were chatting i didn't look at the receipt and how much it costs we get back to the hotel immediately to my wife i go i'm going back tomorrow and returning but here's how much of a pussy i am i wouldn't go back to the michigan avenue store no you can't i went all the way out to schaumburg yeah you can't because i'm a bitch yeah i'm a bitch bitch.
I went to Schaumburg to return it because I felt so much weird guilt that I was like, he'll see me. He'll think I'm a loser.
Yeah, no, you can't. But I had no intention on buying it.
I got like fooled. I got like bullied into buying it.
And immediately when I saw it, I think it was like five grand or something. I don't even know.
But I literally was like nervous and I felt so uncomfortable. I was like, I got to buy it.

He's like almost making you,

but he's like putting on my shoulders.

He's like, Oh my God,

look at the way your shoulders sit in this.

And I was like,

I bought the jacket.

Then of course I returned it to Schaumburg.

I felt so,

but the relief I felt when I returned it.

Oh yeah.

Oh,

it felt so good seeing it come off my credit card.

Yeah.

I was panicking.

I was like,

I'm never going to wear that anyway.

Yeah.

At least got a couple of people that see those shoes and they know what's up with the shoes and they're like, hey, I like your shoes. Teenagers.
Yeah. But that's, that's good.
I've had a couple like 17 year old boys, like young dudes are always like, yo bro, I love those shoes. I'm like, thank you so much.
I'm, I bought them on accident and I'm 40 years old. I feel like a fucking moron.
Stay young. I don't do much, though, in that regard.
I won't buy too much crazy shit. So I have to ask, because you're wearing the sweatshirt.
I know you were in Curb a few years ago. You're not in the new season, are you? No, I've watched some of it.
This is actually from my good buddies, Malbin, you know, the golf company. You know Malbin.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They did a Curb collab for the new season, and I was up at the Preserve.
I golfed at the Preserve with malvin for their bing crosby adidas collab thing and he my buddy was like hey dude we're putting out a a curb collab and it's pretty limited on who we're giving them to with the larry stuff and the first thing i was like when i got home i was like if i don't get that stuff i'll kill you yeah i want all the curb shit you need it yeah it's so sick no i did uh a couple seasons ago the new one's great though i was i watched it on the plane on the way to new york how how fun was it doing when you when you did curb i mean you make you made larry break right yeah dude it was a great that was like one of those moments of my life where um you know like validates you as a comedian where you're like that guy thought that was funny i'm good yeah i can die a happy man i made him break in the in the in the room and then on set when we did it in the room you know the audition is um you just he gives you a character and they give you a little baby character breakdown it's probably like i don't know four or five sentences and then you take from that enough to make your own improv your own world and i improv the world i was originally going to have the role of the um it's the episode where the guy has a dog named adolf i don't know if you've seen that yeah yeah the german uh yeah shepherd named adolf and then as soon as i read the character he loved it and then he goes uh it's not it's not gonna work and i was like really i thought we were having like i made he was we were laughing he goes yeah yeah no do you you don't look uh you don't look you don't look the part at all it's the ginger yeah he's like you don't look like a nazi kind of guy he's like i wanted to make him a little bit look with that like blonde hair yeah i think he's like it's just not gonna work the ginger thing isn't gonna play and i was bummed and then he was like no no we're gonna get something else so then he made me go back in the hallway and read for uh the plumber who make who fixes the toilet at latte you know latte larry's Yeah. And I came back in after like 15 minutes and we just riffed and he broke a few times.
And it just like, my heart grew four times. That's incredible.
Yeah. It was like a comedy on the way home.
I, I vividly remember pulling out of his studio driving and I call my wife and I was like, I've only done this maybe twice to her. Been like, I'm so sure that I got this if I don't I have I have no idea about my career right because it went so well he was like we were humming that'd be like I don't know how he wouldn't want to give this to me yeah there was nothing it was flawless it was like the rhythm was great he was bouncing I was listening I wasn't stepping on his you know stepping on his uh retorts or improv so I was like it was so smooth and of course you know that afternoon they called they were like okay they want you in like three days that's incredible yeah it was huge man and i would assume that you were a big fan of the show massive as you were coming up and now you're on the show yeah i mean he's i think he's you know i'm not you know i don't know how to say this without sounding like a dick but like i'm a much bigger fan of him than seinfeld like i i think his line of what what sein was, was that's why Curb was so great.
Yeah, right. It was like the version of Seinfeld that I wanted more was that.
Right. More so than the other thing that Jerry did.
And, you know, he's great, but it's like Larry's Seinfeld is what Curb is, and that's what I always wanted it to be. Is it true that he just doesn't, like, Curb, I feel like, maybe I read this somewhere, but like, he'll'll just decide, like, oh, I'm ready to do a new season, like, out of the whim.
He took breaks, yeah. Yeah.
He was allowed to do whatever he wanted. I mean, obviously, he's a legend, so why would they say no? Right.
What executive in their right mind would be like, I don't think we're going to be able to do it anymore? Right. It's like, especially because HBO, you know, that's kind of like, it's like this.
This is like Fantasyland. It's like you're making what you love.
Yeah. And they get to decide.
They're not answering as much to corporate sponsors like ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox. They've got sponsors.
Right. HBO, they can kind of do as they please.
Yeah. So I think they were more apt to let him fly free.
I don't know personally, but I imagine he just would get busy and tired and be like, I'm not ready to put something out. Yeah.
It's rad, dude. That's the dream world.
That's what we all want is to be able to go, I'm not going to give you something unless I really want to give it to you. Otherwise, it's going to be shit.
Right. And then you're all going to be bummed.
Yeah. You don't want to pump it out.
So the take a break thing is cool. I think more TV should either just do a limited amount of seasons or just take a break and maybe revisit it or who knows.
Not too long of a break, though, because there's some shows where they take such a long break, I forget they exist. Like, I forgot there's a new Game of Thrones.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, like some of that.
It's like, how am I going to know what's going on? Yeah, that's tough. Well, that also takes so long to shoot those shows.
Yeah. That's the other problem is, you know, well, that'll be replaced by AI.
They'll replace all of us and it'll be all AI anyway. Yeah, wait, were you on strike? Yeah, I mean, don't yeah were you picketing no dude no I'm not even ashamed the sun with you yeah I can't be outside yeah you're probably the one guy in the union who's like yeah look I'm not coming me Conan yeah they're like all right that makes sense I put sunscreen on when it rains I swear to god I'm like it might you never know if it pokes through no I didn't go out and pick at the thing i i you know not to sound like a dick i just i was like i'm i voted to strike right i did the thing right i wanted to yeah let's i said yes yeah i i don't want to go out there every day i just didn't feel like i was it was necessary for me to be out there every day it was crazy the the story about them cutting all those trees in the shade.
So funny, by the way. Yeah.
Heavy props to how funny that was. Yeah.
They cut the trees so the picketers couldn't get shade every day. Yeah.
I thought that was so funny. It was just like, yeah, just guerrilla warfare.
Well, it was also a writer's strike, and I haven't been in the writer's union for a long time. I was in it for a little bit when I wrote this pilot, and then when the actor's strike happened, it was in solidarity already, so it was kind of like they had already made the noise that they needed for justification for the strike.
Actors were just being like, yeah, let's get get them what they want so we can work. Right.
Get these people everything they want. Let's go.
Like, yeah, come on, man, get over. And also a lot of it was shit that was a little bit needed.
I mean, like the the the the amount of money that some of these executives are getting versus what the residuals would pay out for these writers or actors dude it's a joke yeah i sent a screenshot yesterday david spade um because you you see what you're getting in your residuals you know it like sends you a email or whatever and it was it's literally one cent and it's for his show lights out on comedy central that we did and i was like thanks a lot man really appreciate this like this is gonna this is gonna help us out this month and he was like you know like he has any control but like the fact that sometimes you'd get 26 cent checks is like right give me a fucking break right what am I why am I what am I gonna do and also that means to me the executives that did the buyouts or the sell throughs I'm sure they got you know 50 60 grand right and each little idiot like you got you know, a shekel. Yeah.
What was the AI thing that they were talking about where, like, if you showed up as a background actor, the studios would then have the rights to use your face? Yeah. Like AI to put them in different scenes or something like that? They were trying to dupe, yeah, they were trying to dupe background actors to just reuse them in other backgrounds of other shows.
Oh, that's crazy. Yeah.
They wanted to reuse background. Here was my thought on it.
I said, okay, background acting is a nightmare. It's super hard.
You're treated like shit. They should be treated better.
They kind of cattle call these people in. They bully them around.
And, you know, it's just, it's in your 15 hour days or 12 to 14 hour days. So it's, it's not fun.
It sucks. It fucking sucks.
And you're getting to learn sometimes, but I do think they're not treated great all the time. I'll be honest.
I've been on sets where they are, but I said, if that's the case that they want to propose AI to them, we'll maybe give them a huge check to use their likeness for a limited amount of time just in the background, but then have subsidized a program where they can come to set and then learn and not have to be in the background, but like shadow and follow and learn and watch because a lot of people just want to learn. A lot of people that do background, they just want to know how everything works.
How the sausage is made. Yeah, they want to see the insides.
Right. And I thought, you know, who am I? But I just proposed in my own little stupid world of people I've talked to.

I said, what if they pay them a big fat check and said, we'll use your likeness for six months after that. There's a new contract.
So you will be used AI background, but there's a subsidy program that the union would do to let them come to set, watch an entire series filmed so they can learn everything. I mean, granted, I don't know who, if people would want to do it, but i thought that's a better use of their time yeah than standing there you know for 12 hours a day

being where a lot of times you can't even see them that they're that they're filler you know

so it's almost like i think you can service both worlds but i get it once you enter the world of

ai you're fucked yeah it's over i mean i read some of the ai scripts that people were trying to put

out they stink yeah they're robots aren't funny yet no they're not there do you think robots can

ever get to a point where it's like they can write new original comedy i don't know man i get i get

Let's get started. of the ai scripts that people were trying to put out they stink yeah they're robots aren't funny yet no they're not there do you think robots can ever get to a point where it's like they can write new original comedy i don't know man i get i get scared about it well i mean people are always going to want people but but i i mean i don't know i mean look at what's on your fucking desk i mean that's kind of like the looming future of like he's returning it and i don't like it like i don't but you're but i think a lot of people that get it do love it yeah and it'll slowly catch on.
The thing is, the last two years have been Silicon Valley executives giving testimony, being like, we need to be very careful with AI. AI is scary.
AI could end the world. And it's like, dude, you're the one that's making the AI.
Can we just not do AI? No, it's already there. Can we just say, bad idea? Someone will do it.
Put it in reverse? Don't you know, though, if it's released to the public now, it means they've had it for a decade yeah that's true they've already had it the government's not gonna like let something come out like this unless they've already been tooling with it and regulating it behind our backs and then finally going all right give it to the idiots now it's fine to give it to them now yeah i mean you hear those stories from like you know dude look at how long it took them to admit aliens. We actually have proof of unidentified objects.

Yeah.

Now, after 30 years of them being like, shut up, you idiot. There are no aliens.

Stop it.

And then now they're like, yeah, what are you going to do?

They're there.

Big deal.

The craziest part of that story was that, and this might be like the biggest story ever,

that aliens exist, and that it was Tom DeLonge from Blink-182 that got the government to admit it. Yeah, dude.
I know. He's like big on pushing it, huh? Yeah.
Huge. He's the one that got like the Navy to release the videos of the UFOs.
There are aliens. Yeah.
And then everyone was like, oh, Taylor Swift has a new boyfriend this week. That's pretty important.
Right. That was a plant.
Right. That wasn't actually real.
They don't have a real relationship. That was just to get the focus away from Tom DeL and the alien yeah he's too close god bless dude good it was a good it was a good meetup dude that's a good distraction it worked really well yeah uh well this has been great yeah i have one last question yeah roback question r-h-o-b-a-c-k.com promo code take 20 off your first purchase q-zips polos hoodies joggers shorts everything ro, promo code TAKE.
Are you going to move to Austin like every other comedian in the world? No, dude. No, that's not for me.
If I was going to move anywhere, you know, we were going to make a shift to New York. We couldn't.
Family stuff, like, it just didn't work out. Yeah.
We couldn't. And then if I was going to go anywhere outside of L.A., it would be Chicago or New York.
Come work in this'm work in this office yeah dude i know but then i have to drag bobby you know because our podcast is doing great and it's like well he can't leave he won't leave la yeah he refuses to leave la because i told him well we can relocate to somewhere fun let's try something new but the pod is doing better than it's ever done so he doesn't want to leave yeah and look at this like you guys had you have to like physically make everyone agree on being in the same place yeah because the zoom shit wow it's not the same yeah it's whack it doesn't work you need to be together so as long as me and the bobe are going to be doing our show we'll be in smelly yeah you guys have been doing a lot of like live podcast tours too yeah we do we do we have four left we do like uh canada we do windsor and niagara falls and then we end in vegas on 420 when you do those do you do like a whole different show or is it just a live podcast we do and we do stand we have an opener and then we each do stand up we do like 20 to 30 minutes of stand-up so the so you get like an hour and some change of stand-up up top and then we do another hour and some change of bits from the show that's awesome audience involvement it's so much fun man it's so stupid and free and you know they get involved and we do trivia questions and uh we do scene readings with them and it's i mean the fans it's it's been the coolest thing to see this transition of like they're stand-up fans but then they also want to be interactive in that world of the bad friends yeah weird world we're going we're going to abu dhabi in may oh shit we're doing bad friends in abu dhabi we've we've been offered to do live shows but like we always struggle with like what are we gonna just do do the podcast like in front of everyone like that kind of sucks you gotta give people more smartless does it bateman and those guys but they bring out a big name guest right yeah right you'd have to just bring out a big athlete and and and play some kind of game with them that people would want to see yeah you know like put get aaron rogers out there to we also have like consciously been like let's not do live tours and then like in 20 years when we want to like cash one big check we'll be like reunion tour oh that's smart like rolling stones yeah we're like hey one time only we were gonna do one in new york but it was gonna be at a james dolan arena and james doan has banned Barstool Sports from any place that he owns. Yeah, so he shut it.
We had it set in everything. He closed it down.
It was whatever comedy festival it was, like the New York Comedy Festival. But Dolan is the Knicks.
Yep. He owns a lot of shit.
Right, but the Garden is a separate company. He doesn't own- I think he owns it all.
Yeah. He does? He can ban people from MSG.
I'm pretty sure he can ban anyone. Because MSG owns a ton of other venues.
I didn't know that he was the head of that. Oh, because we sold like a sell the team shirt.
Yeah. And he got mad like instantly, like 20 minutes later.
How can we make it up to James Dolan? I don't know, but I respect the fact that he has this big grudge against our entire company. That's a big grudge.
Where he's like, I'm going to use my power and not let them perform at any venue that i own does portnoy and him have a thing did that happen no it was we sold we did sell the team shirts sure and then we he emailed the guy who bought our company in 2016 uh he emailed him within 20 minutes and was like what is this and then that was it and then we also had what we one of our guys did hiss at him publicly like he was walking on the street and he went, I got arrested at the dog show at MSG, so that put me on his radar a little bit. Yeah, dude, but you get hissed at once in a while.
Yeah, you get hissed at. It's going to happen.
I will say for everything that James Dolan, he seems like not the best guy in the world, I would say that being a rich guy and then making a band and making people go see your band, that rules. Yeah.
I would do that if I had his money. Well, that's like Corey Feldman, right? He's back with a band now.
I think it's cool when you get rich and successful, and then you just want to have a band. Right, yeah.
Yeah, we should start a band. Sure, yeah.
Let's do it. CFT has a band.
I got a band. Actually, now that you say it, like, yeah, that's kind of what I do.
Yeah. You have to come watch my band when I'm putting it down.
But yeah, it's like an owner buys a team it's like i just fucking coach the team too yeah well what do you do after that point when you own like i saw the woman that owns the kings or as a partner in the kings she gave the pope uh king's jersey yeah that's cool that the pope is probably like thank you the pope probably has a closet filled with the stupidest shit jerseys but i just think jerseys is so funny at one night he takes off the robe, he's sitting there and he's like, maybe I put on the jersey. He throws on the Sacramento jersey.
Aaron Fox, he's pretty good. And he's doing like...
He's zero-stepping? Yeah. He's doing the kid countdown where he's like, three, two, one.
Yeah. All right, well, everyone check out Santino when he's on the road.
His new movie out, Bad Friends Podcast. got a last question yeah so i saw the video that you did with bobby bobby atolf how do you say her name oh yeah bobby all talk all talk it was very funny so fun while you were shooting it were you like this is exactly the right way that i was hoping it was going to go because she's used to making people feel uncomfortable you made you made her feel uncomfortable.
Well, because it was like, I just, I don't even know how to explain it, but they wanted me to like do teacher standup. That was the bit.
And then I said, no. And then the producer was like, well, what do you want to do? And I was like, I want to go, I like golf.
If I'm not working, I want to play golf. So I was like, let's play golf.
At least I can go hit balls. Because my days are so stacked.
I'm like, it'd be nice to just go hit balls, and then she can do an interview like that if you want it somewhere. So they made a few phone calls, and we went to the range.
And I was there like 40 minutes before her because she was late. So immediately when she was late, as I was hitting balls, I thought, I'm going to puppeteer this whole interview.
I'm going to drive this entire thing. I just was making up my mind as I was hitting balls.
I didn't think about it before then. Until then, she was late.
And when she showed up late and I started giving her shit about it, her response immediately put me in gear. It was like I didn't really do it.
The universe was like, this is how this has to go. Because as I thought about controlling the interview just to give her shit, she played into it well she played into it enough where i couldn't stop i like i started i started once i started i was like oh dude i'm gonna this is what i'm gonna do the whole time it was so good it was so fun to do man we're trying to do something else because i think you know it's an interesting play the way she does it yeah she did a good job and she was mean to bobby lee yeah i saw that tennis so i said i'm gonna get her back a little bit like i have to go there and defend you for her even though i talked shit about him to her yeah i still was like you know just fucking with her a little bit i felt like it was the necessary thing we stand up for our partners man yeah did you see the the one comment afterwards that made me laugh so hard there was uh you you said the funniest bit was when you were talking about your assistants and you're like, I pay the woman assistant less.
She's way better, but I pay her less because you have to. Someone commented, they're like, if women get paid less, they should have to pay less taxes.
No, I didn't see that. And someone responded, they're like, yeah, that's how taxes work.
By the way, it's just the IRS commenting. It's an IRS bot.
Yeah, just so you is exactly but you crushed that dude that was so fucking fun yeah that was that was awesome we're gonna we'll figure some other stuff i just want to make more golf content fun stuff because to bring more fun to golf because of people's perception we have an idea that we've been floating around with it you might want to yeah with us we're going going to, me, PFT, and Hank are going to eat an eighth of mushrooms, and then we'll have someone dressed as Toad in the foursome, and we'll just see how it goes. Oh, shit.
It's a big idea. If you don't want to eat the mushrooms, you could be Toad.
No, I'd be down for the mushrooms. Oh, okay, all right.
I'm more down for the mushrooms in golf than I am for Toad. Yeah, yeah.
But I do think- But just watching it just unravel. I like that.
I think to throw a wrench in that, you should have a lot of characters from- Just popping out of the woods? Popping out of the woodwork. Yeah.
I think that's what we were saying initially was like we all get dressed up. The caddies all get dressed up.
You're somebody in the Mario universe. So I actually agree with this even more.
I would love to do it if all of us played a Mario character. Yeah.
Yeah. That would be more fun if we're all somebody,

because then you're going to embody the character.

Yeah, then you have to talk like Luigi. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, no.

Triple bogey.

Good Wario playing golf.

All right, so you're in.

I'm in for sure.

We've got you attached.

Let's do it.

Perfect.

I'll do it.

That sounds rad.

All right, thanks so much.

Thank you, boys.

Andrew Santino is brought to you by Proper 12.

It's St. Paddy's Day weekend.

It's almost arrived.

Proper number 12 is here to remind you practice makes proper.

Proper 12 is brought to you by a true Irishman,

Dublin 12's own, the notorious Conor McGregor.

Proper 12 pays homage to Conor's Irish hometown roots,

a rich and smooth blend of golden grain and single malt

aged four years in bourbon barrels.

Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Pour the roar of the St. Paddy's Day with a proper green tea shot made with smooth and rich proper Irish whiskey.

Tell them I want a proper green tea shot.

That's why I'm starting my St. Paddy's Day this weekend.

On Saturday morning, we're going to be out on a boat.

Hank and I hitting the high seas of Chicago, celebrating St. Paddy's Day.

Love it.

Dying the river.

Dying the river. And we're going to start first drink of the day.
What's it going to be, Hank? A proper green tea shot? Yep. Proper green tea for the boys.
Celebrating St. Paddy's with the original rich and smooth proper number 12 or new crisp and fresh Irish apple.
Okay. Fire Fest of the week.
I want to hear from memes, too, Fire Fest. Yeah.
Yeah, memes are struggling. You know what know what memes why don't you start with your fire fest so we did the 24 uh pancake challenge memes you were the big loser by the way i was thinking about this morning it dawned on me that we had the joke like no one cares about your fantasy team and then we had dingers only which was a lot of fun and then we're like let's just do all of them i don't know if we want to do pancakes next year i don't really know i don't even know who was on my team i think you got to pick one guy it was untrackable it was untrackable we played ourselves with this pancake league because i was like wait can i even name one guy on my team yeah i picked all tackles yeah i think i think jake had the right idea which was draft just people that we know from the show.
Yeah. But I think we do one person.

One person.

One person, Pancake League.

Just get all the pancakes.

All right, so memes.

I left at like 1130. You had like seven pancakes left or hours.

How did the rest of the night go?

You just kept on saying there's no room.

There's no room when we tried to get you to eat.

Yeah, so there was no more room left. And 12 15 hit i took a big bite threw up oh and made room made room and then finished the last two did you throw up on the live stream no i had to run to the bathroom oh i told you you could pull trig at that point yeah he kept getting up and everyone was like don't don't want to puke i was like i want to go home yeah yeah i think that was fair the the um eating challenges are always the same it's always like in your head you're like that's not that hard and then the minute you get into it you're like this fucking sucks memes treated the same way he treated the stand-up thing which he was just like uh it's gonna be fine yeah but then he got there there was no plan of attack.
He ate, what, seven pancakes, hit a wall? Mega wall. Mega wall.
Hit eight. I mean, do you want me to do an eating competition to prepare for next time? Yeah, there is really no preparing for it.
It's more the only preparation. The only preparation is to say this is going to suck and not I'm going to eat it in three and a half hours and I'm going to go hamburger mode and dominate this.
He also might have drank 400 bottles of water. Oh, that's not good.
I was calling him the water boy. It did make you thirsty.
I think the preparation next time is just getting mentally tough. Read the art of water.
It was the banana. He kept just being like the banana.
The banana. It was you strawberries.
Yeah. You fucked him with the strawberries.
I think the strawberries were delicious. No, I think he was really good.
He was trying everything. Yeah.
He was trying to get our boy back. I was willing to baby bird it.
At the end, I was willing to chew it and then spit it into your mouth if that would help because I was sick of just sitting there watching memes being like, come on memes, do something. It's also tough when you're you know i'm sure the viewers feel the same way when you're watching someone with just one little pink yeah you're like easy yeah just eat it eat it yeah but when you're on the inside you're like you can't like i want my body's gonna explode just eat it we're doing the hockey fan thing like what if you just ate it instead of shoot it we were just like yeah come on it's right there just.
Mind over batter. You can do this, Meme.
Yeah, we were sitting on the couch being like, I never would have fumbled that ball. No.
Easy. Too much prize.
Just hold on to the ball. Just eat it.
What are you doing? Meme, did you think about eating it? I did think about eating it. The only regret was initially stopping it after the eight.
Yeah. Yeah, that was tough.
So, yeah, I like the, like, it was funny content, especially because we had Max freaking out next to him while memes was in hell. But I do think for future fantasy leagues, we have to do it where we can actually track it and care about it.
Yeah. That was our mistake.
The pancakes, we had no idea who won, how they were winning. The updates were just like, okay, Jake did a great job updating, but it was like okay we got i got six this week okay so a couple a couple other ones we could do touchdowns touchdowns that's easy to track easy just punt yards just everyone gets a punter um an injury league you draft one guy that you think is going to get injured we also already have a competition during football Yeah, good point.
Good point. And we bet every Sunday.
So there's really – But we don't need to do – we don't need to replace this with anything. Yeah, like I think dingers only was an idea that's going to last because that idea is we want to learn more baseball players and we don't have anything really going on during the summer.
So that one counts. But, yeah, yeah i agree the it is pancakes only might be uh might be a thing of the past and stand up and stand up hank fire fest yeah i two fire fest both both minor nothing crazy what'd you do with your tree i stored it in a closet i made some space oh Oh you did have space yeah you as you were kind of saying that to me like kind of a light bulb went off i had to move some things around so i but it was good it was a very i had been putting off basically completing my move into my condo which i moved into in june like i got 80 85 in and then i was like all right i'm good and then i was like you know eventually i'll finish this off.
And finally, I moved the tree, and then I was like, I'm doing it. I ordered some stuff.
I ordered a chair, different rug, ordered those to my old apartment in Hoboken, which I realized today. And then I lost the remote for my TV in my bedroom somewhere.
Oh, you're fucked. So two nights in a row, I've just been like this thing where the fuck is it's funny to think that like hank might have a lady friend over at the apartment she's like looking for towels looking to use a shower and then she opens up a closet and a tree just falls on her different different closets but yeah of all the fire fest losing your remote might be number one yeah like that is it just, you feel so helpless and you're like, I can't, what am I going

to do?

You need to get it.

You need to get on.

I have all my TVs on, on an app now on my phone.

Yeah.

It's like one TV.

You think it's easy.

And like sometimes, you know, I'll just put on like a, a golf video or something and fall

asleep.

And, and then, but you know, last night I got back at, at two 30 and I was like, I'll

just fall asleep.

But then once you don't have the remote, you're like, oh, I could just watch and I'd fall asleep. Yeah.
Then I was up to like four. That's brutal.
It's tough. That's brutal.
You know what else is brutal? I'm going through this right now. My remote is out of batteries.
And then- Damn. That one's easy.
Damn. I'm just too lazy to look for batteries.
And then you do the thing. I've done the thing where I- Do you have an Xbox controller nearby? I don't, but you take the batteries out and then you rub them in your hands real quick.
Warm them up. I sat on batteries like an egg the other night.
I was like a bird trying to warm up the battery. You put it back in, it works again.
So until I've lost all recourse, like trying to MacGyver my way into having electricity, I'm going to stay downstairs. I'm going to watch TV.
And then once all other options have failed, then I'll go upstairs, find the batteries, and now new remote. Yeah.
What about the TV you could put on your head? Oh, no, that's in the office right here. I'm taking that back.
Yeah. I'm the same thing.
I just keep going back and forth between my TV remote and my Xbox controller. Oh, yeah.
And it is the most infuriating thing ever. It is.
Because whenever I want to do the other thing, the remote is never and it's yeah it's also extra infuriating when you realize that we live in 2024 and if you just went on amazon you could have batteries in like four hours you get enough batteries to last your life yeah i could order it's so easy you can order so many batteries on amazon that you get put on like a terrorism watch list right and it's very easy to do but until i there's also something nice i feel like i've gone out and like hunted for my own dinner when i'm able to like restore electricity to the battery real quick yeah i'm out of the bat i'm out of the uh like not having battery game just because with all the the toys for kids we just have a drawer that has like 300 batteries yeah you know what max remind me tomorrow morning i'll bring in some batteries for you the battery drawer solve it easy okay yeah i literally live above a grocery store that has a million batteries i it's easier for me to bring them in for you i got you i got you bro i got you no problem uh okay pft your fire fest uh yeah my fire fest of the week this is a this is a weird one um but i've got a car filled with yaramir yager bobbleheads that i'm trying to get rid of. So if anybody out there is interested in getting some.
I'll take one. You want one? Yeah.
Okay. 500 bucks.
What's the catch here? There's no catch. There was a truck that got hijacked today.
All the commemorative Yarmir Yager bobbleheads. The Pittsburgh Penguins were having Yarmir Yager bobblehead night tonight.
For everybody that bought a ticket, you're going a bobblehead and the truck got hijacked and so somebody is holding these bobbleheads high or i actually think i i allowed myself to to wander a little bit on this one i don't think the bobbleheads existed i think maybe i i think that maybe there were no bobbleheads and the penguins are like fuck it's bobblehead night we forgot to order these things forgot to order yeah it's jesse smollett yeah jesse smollablehead night yeah and they're like well we don't have oh yeah the cops uh we called the cops they're looking into it right now yeah find those bobbleheads so if they were real because i like your theory but if they were real i saw a lot of people saying imagine the guy who goes and hijacks a truck and thinking he's getting a bunch of TVs and it's a bunch of bobbleheads. I completely disagree.
Bobbleheads are commemorative bobbleheads are pricey these days. People love that shit.
I think that was a targeted truck to hijack. A thousand percent.
Yeah. When he just described it, that wasn't like a coincidence.
No. That was a Pittsburgh super fan trying to recreate the town.
Yeah, it's the town.

Yeah.

It's like two yinzers parked underneath the Heinz Field with just a truck to like, who's

got we taking?

Yeah.

And they just got it.

And those will go for a lot of money.

I think I saw a couple on eBay already.

Yeah.

So, yeah.

Yeah, they were on eBay for like 300 bucks.

Yeah.

That's not.

Listen, if these are fucking stolen bobbleheads, that price should be 3000.

Yeah.

This guy's going to... already yeah so yeah yeah they were on ebay for like 300 bucks yeah that's not listen if these are fucking stolen bobbleheads that price should be 3 000 yeah like i guess i'm gonna make a lot of money off this it actually it makes me want to buy one more knowing that it's stolen yeah a stolen yamir yagir bobblehead is something that i lust for can you imagine if they did um instead of a bobblehead it was just a bobble mullet and just the mullet part of his hair bobbled back and forth, blown in the wind.
That would be cool. That'd be sick.
Maybe that's what it is. If they are real, we should purchase one.
Yes, agreed. So if you're a listener, and chances are, I think probably the person that would hijack a truck of Yarmir Yager bobbleheads is probably an AWL.
It might even be the dude who's like, I'll hijack this truck, and I'll offer it to the guys, and I'll get an internship. Yeah.
A free internship. And let me say this, if you can produce a thousand Yammer Yager bobbleheads, we will give you an internship.
Absolutely. If you can give us one of them, we'll bring in for an interview.
No, because that could be a lot of people could find it and buy one. We need a thousand.
But if you're the guy that guy that did it yeah then you should be able to produce a thousand true yeah easy easy okay maybe even a picture of all of them and then we'll definitely not the picture no we'll start the conversation this is start the conversation if you can get us the picture we will not you not get a job or an interview if you get the picture. We start the conversation like, damn, that's a lot of bobbleheads.
Boom, conversation over. I want a picture of a thousand bobbleheads next to today's Pittsburgh Sun-Times newspaper.
Yep. Proof of life for these bobbleheads.
Okay. My FireFest, before we do FireFest, part of my cheesesteak is delivery and pickup only restaurants brand, brand bringing your craveable cheese steaks and loaded fries.
We're now live in all 50 states across 1,500 locations. Order now at pardonmycheesesteak.com.
Also available on Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash. We had to talk really quickly about the Africa Bowl and the Pardon My Cheese Steak getting put on everyone's helmet, the sticker.
Shout out Billy. Shout out Donnie.
That was incredible. It was.
Last Chance Uganda is a great series. It's some of the most compelling stuff I've ever seen.
And credit to Donnie because everything that he does is awesome. But Billy was really the perfect person to bring on for this.
And if you haven't seen the clip yet, there's an all-time clip of Billy in the aftermath. Let's just say Pete Prisco would not be happy with Billy and the way that he reacted to losing a football game.
All Donnie series are great, and he always finds the side characters and random people that become the stars of the video. So that was kind of Billy in this one.
And as I saw the clip that PFT's talking about beforehand, it's unbelievable. And then I watched the whole video, and there's like 20 other moments from Billy in the video that are just jaw-dropping.
I don't even know how to describe it. He was like roid-raging on the sidelines, yelling at the refs, yelling at Donnie.
The crowd was laughing at him. They didn't know what was going on.
His other players were scared of him. I think he was passionate.
He cared about the guys. No it was it was it was billy billy in his prime prime form he gave a great pump up speech yeah yeah so shout out pardon my cheesesteak and billy and donnie the pardon my cheesesteak africa bowl but yeah i was watching it just as a fan that i for you know obviously i knew the part of my cheesesteak but i got sucked up in it and they're like all right we got we got ready and then the boys started they started decaling all their helmets and cleats with part of my cheesesteak stickers yeah a very surreal funny moment the part of my cheesesteak sticker on the cleat it was my cause my cleats but just for part of my cheesesteak yeah it was it was incredible it was awesome to watch i asked billy about about the clip of him crying yesterday i asked him if he wanted to like get in front of it if there's any things that he'd like to comment some so to some additional context that he'd like to add to the clip and he thought about it and he started crying again thinking about the loss we cried he cried in the post game interview too like they were which i like a game and he was like yeah listen you can't our fault you can you can like billy's got his detractors out there for sure he's got some people that love him too i i personally love billy but um there's no better bill no better Billy than when he actually cares about something.
And he actually deeply, deeply cared about this game. And it was, he ended up making great content out of it.
Yes, he's amazing. He did.
Okay. My fire fest is, this is the first St.
Patrick's day that I'm back in Chicago since I retired from St. Patrick's day.
And I have the most FOMO possible. You can just go out.
Come out on the river. I want to, but I just can't because then it's just, it's the, it's the, it's the time lost getting drunk.
Cause I know I won't be able to stop myself and I, there's games on and then, you know, kids waking up early. I'm going to throw a weird, weird idea out there, big cat.
Um, there I'd end up doing drugs. There's this place that has sports and beer, and it's called a sports bar where you can do both.
Yeah, I know. I know.
But that's not it. It's not the I can't watch.
I know I could watch games somewhere. It's the fact that if I was like, I'm going out for St.
Patrick's Day, there's no stopping. That sounds like it.
The only stopping is not going out. And I have F fomo because i used to love going out on saint patrick's day in chicago it was the best i don't believe it it was the best also i planned out my entire saturday yeah no i'm gonna hit the river early and then i'm gonna go to like two bars and then i'm gonna go back to my house at like 2 30 in the afternoon order way too much food delivered to my house and i'm gonna watch basketball it's the best yes do like house parties in the morning bars in the afternoon fucking best um also it's just march and uh i just forgot because we you know we stream all of nfl and it's fun and it's good vibe march is war it's war it's just such a different feel to it than nfl's uh sunday streams we will be streaming all the the games so you can watch us basically nonstop the next three weeks.
But I just forgot we did the pancake stream Wednesday night with the hoops and I just forgot that it's like, I mean, Max had some moments where I thought he was going to kill himself or possibly quit. I had some moments where I was very upset.
So it's just a reminder that that if you're watching us just remember that anything that's said between the white lines we don't count max was apologizing to us after like dude you don't have to apologize like immediately after this is this is a totally different beast march there there march brings out the worst in everyone in the moment once the game's over there's no apologies necessary we say shit we don't think or believe we just we react my favorite was right after the Villanova game Max just put his hand out and started shaking everyone's hand in the room apologizing yeah like the second the whistle blew it's like Max we this is not our first time watching you watch sports yeah and he uh you left the room for a little bit and he turned to me and hey he Hank, he goes, respectfully, respectfully, like the most aggressive, respectfully ever.

Respectfully, I'm not doing this.

I'm not doing this tonight.

Respectfully.

He stole my phone.

And then you came in, PFT, and you're like, who antagonized Max to get him to this point?

And then Max just turned.

He's like, fuck you, PFT.

I was like, PFT, you see?

No one's doing anything.

It's literally just he exists, and we exist in the same room as him. Max looked at me.
He was like, why are you standing up? Yeah. I was like, I just came back in the room.
I just walked into the room, Max. But it's fun.
Go back to where you came from at one point. Yeah, they are my favorite streams.
They produce just hilarious moments. And I want to give a disclaimer to everyone watching that if you're like, oh, these guys are assholes or mean to each other yes that might be true but just know it's not actually deeper than that it's literally in the moment you know what i love about march is it's it's like a series with all the different teams that you find yourself rooting for or getting i don't want to say falling in love with it's more like you have a bunch of one night stands with a bunch of different teams that you deeply care about for like two hours yeah and then you just move on to the next one but a really special game in march will have you thinking about that one team and it'll make like a lasting memory for yourself yeah jelly walk remember when i rooted so hard for marquise noel yeah and and the best part is to uh to further that analogy you'll like have an incredible one night stand with the, and then the next day you'll bet them again, and they suck, and you'll be like, what? It's like almost turning on the lights.
You're like, what did I just do? Yeah. Yeah.
We bet on Missouri first half yesterday. It looked like they didn't know how to play basketball.
I wish that there was a plan B for me watching that game. Yeah.
Or I could just flush it out. That was a tough one.
I rode with you. was a quintessential wednesday night uh conference championship week we're betting just because it's on tv it's fine not realizing these teams are just the worst teams in the country yeah they have not won it missouri finished the season without winning a conference game yeah but they almost got that 33 and a half all right jake finish us off yeah also very excited the next few weeks best time of the year.
Yep. When I was in Florida for the golf tournament, I went to the wrong hotel.
Oh. Oh.
They didn't have a reservation. You minced it.
Kind of. They sent an updated email saying they changed hotel reservations for us, and I missed that email.
Oh. But it's all right.
Learning experience. So when you showed up, were they just like, this doesn't exist? You just don't exist.
Oh, that's brutal. Yeah.
Yeah. It's all right.
It's March. That's tough.
Everything will be okay. I keep telling myself that.
It's March. Max, we're taping this Fyre Fest in the morning.
Do you want to leave a little nugget for the Villanova game? We'll obviously talk about it at the start of the show, so you already heard what happened, but let me just get your confidence level and maybe a prediction right now

so that we can go back and laugh.

No, it was a disappointing year.

It was a disappointing year.

Oh, it's over.

Yes.

Wow.

Didn't show up.

Didn't show up in the Garden.

It's a place where we have excelled

so many times in the past.

Now I'm rooting for Villanova

so we can be like,

Max never believed.

Max is... You know what though?

Max is slowly learning.

Slowly. Slowly, but he forgets

it pretty quickly. He said last night

afterwards, he's like, tomorrow

talking about Marquette versus

Villanova, he's like, I'm not going to get angry.

Low expectations, low pain.

That's what I keep telling myself.

We'll see what happens when the ball's tipped. It's going to be 8-2 Marquette and you're going to be

yelling. I feel like you will have assaulted Rico.
Yeah. The Rico factor is a real, real problem.
Rico has reached the point where you're like, it's rent-free now, Max. Yeah.
Rico's rent-free in your head. It just bothers me that he just has...
Your head is an open house. No.
What you say, Max, is correct. It does bother me as well because he just has every...
Max's head is a library. When it's your team, he roots for every team.
When it's your team that he's rooting against for no reason, it irritates you. And he'll just text me out of the blue.
You made a Twitter video at him this week. I did.
Rico kind of owns this whole podcast. He does.
That's me. Listen, Rico, he's a content machine, and he's a guy that you either love or you hate.
Sometimes spelled.

Our full phone in Northeast. It's one thing if me and PFT are going at it about the Eagles commanders.
Right. Those are our teams.
But the fact that I – Rico, if you were to look at our text messages, it's only Arizona Diamondbacks against the Phillies. He's a diehard Diamondbacks fan.
Yeah, you can't.

Like, I never feel bad about, like, needling you during bad games for your teams

is because I've been in that seat many, many times.

Game seven of the World Series Cubs-Indians, Dave came dressed up as Steve Bartman.

Oh, no, he had game six, he was Steve Bartman.

Game seven, he had a full Indians uniform.

So it's like, I wouldn't do it if I hadn't been in there. Rico's not been in there.
He doesn't have a team. He has every team.
Yeah. No, yes, yes.
He doesn't care about anything. He cares about phone numbers.
Okay. Rico's definitely jacking off to this.
Yeah, we just did everything for him. All right, numbers.
40. Oh, I'm going to call him.
Oh, that's a great group of kids. Yeah.
Three. Max, what's your number? 20.
Oh, okay. 18.
Max and I have been in a little war just going back and forth with our numbers. Aaron Rodgers has denied being a Sandy Hook truther, so that's good.
What was Aaron Rodgers? All right, so eight. right, so eight, what's your number, memes? Um, uh, three.
Okay, I will take, what was Yager? You was 68? I'll take 68. 99, Pug.
Oh, there he is. Four.
Fuck. Fuck.
What? What memes? He's got three. He had But that really isn't That's not closer than any other number No, somebody told me to pick four Oh Oh no Brutal I forgot about this Brutal No memes Oh no It was a girl on a dating app She matched with him and said Hey, you don't have to match with me but pick four memes oh I
