Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue. It's Part of My Take, presented by Barstool Sports.
Welcome to Part of My Take. Today is Wednesday, May 24th, and the Boston Celtics are off the floor.
They're off the mat. They have won a game in the Eastern Conference Finals.
It is 3-1, and also just a heads up to all AWLs, our wonderful producer Henry Lockwood has not slept in two days, and he is borderline drunk on the lack of sleep, and we're loving it. Hank, I'll let you go first because you're on cloud nine.
Yeah, I feel good. I feel excited.
You know, I was obviously procrastinated my packing, so I was doing all of that last night because the movers were coming this morning. Was finished at 3, but then I just couldn't fall asleep.
And then I was worried about falling asleep at like five or six and missing like falling asleep to the alarm and having people knocking down my door. So I stayed up, haven't slept.
I was really tired. I was really like going through the motions and then the adrenaline of that win.
I'm just I'm buzzing. I'm absolutely buzzing.
Max is jealous. PFT is mad for no reason.
What do you mean I'm not mad for no reason? PFT has a reason. I've got a reason to be mad.
Because you're the biggest sucker in the history of gambling. I can't feel bad for you for making those bets and losing.
You deserve to lose that bet. No, no, listen.
You should not feel bad about me losing. I agree with that 100%.
In fact, if I lose this bet, people should relish in not feeling bad for me pvd bet 12 that what was it 12 000 to win like 106 no no all right hank math has never been your strong suit you're not a world-renowned educated person ten thousand dollars to win eleven hundred dollars it's an 11 percent investors panthers and heat to to win they're both up 3-0 both up 3-0 i'm'm not, they weren't one at the time at the time. Now, now they're up three, one.
I'm not worried. In fact, Hank, I'm glad this happened and I'll tell you why, because what we're getting right now with Hank is pure.
A hundred percent uncut delirium from Hank. Yeah, we're getting, we're getting, we're getting Hank at his most cocky because he won one game.
You're down 3-1 in the series. And now you have hope.
Not only hope that your Celtics will win, you have hope that you'll be able to golf. And there's nothing I would like more and the listeners would like more than to see that hope get absolutely fucking crushed out of your body on Thursday night.
He does have hope. I love that you've got hope right now, Hank.
Look at those eyes. I love those eyes because they're full of hope, wonder, infinite possibilities, infinite amounts of golf in the month of June and it's about to be taken away from you on Thursday.
I'm so glad that you're happy right now. Deep down.
But you know that's not true. Deep down.
You're going to have to sweat that fat. You want to have a whisper off? It's fucking true, you piece of shit.
Deep down, Hank does think... Just because you're born in Boston doesn't mean that you're a fucking winner at everything.
The Celtics are significantly better than the Heat. They're the more talented team.
Game three was a complete fluke. But, again, water always finds its level.
Someone's going to have to win a 3-0 series in the NBA eventually. It was exactly reminiscent of the yankees and red socks game three they lost like 19 to 8 got absolutely blown out i was at that game i actually are you just doing a dave portnoy recap video was he there too yeah he's been he's just been saying this non-stop the last three days it's true i was thinking about i remember going to that game we had like our seats were back and we stayed and we were like, I remember Hideki Mets that we had home run and we were standing like behind home plate because everyone left.
And it was like the season's over. I have so much promise, so much hope, so much talent.
They're blowing it. They're choking it.
They came back. They won.
They shocked the world. First team to ever do it.
Why not us? It is fitting that this started right in A-Rod's face too. And Jeter.
And Jeter. Yeah, both of them.
Courtside. Jake almost creamed his dockers when they showed Jeter.
Yeah, that's true. That's a fact.
Jake did come. So, Hank, in terms of the game, credit to the Celtics because halftime, it looked like it was going to go the same way.
It would look like the Heat were, you know, the game started. The Celtics came out to a lead.
Then the Heat started playing well. They had like a 10-point lead at one point.
It look like the heat were you know the game started the Celtics came out to a lead then the heat started playing well they they have like a 10 point lead at one point it felt like the heat were going to just make the Celtics quit and the absolute reverse happened in the third quarter they killed them and I think they scored 38 points Tatum got caught fire and yeah I mean listen back to Boston game five are you saying that that one's a guaranteed win you gotta win game five yeah okay so that's a must win it's yeah you know if you lose you're out right the fact that you paused on that it really shows the Lex well no I'm just trying to I was trying to think I'm only focused on Hank. Hank honestly feels like this one win.
But now he asked you a question about this something. The way that Hank's acting.
I was thinking about myself, and it's like, don't think about yourself. Think about the team.
You would think that Hank just won the series tonight, the way that he's acting right now. You're down 3-1.
Who's up 3-1? It's perfectly set up for a gentleman sweep. The true gentleman sweep.
Three games. You let the other team win one, and then you knock him out.
I'm going to do something I don't really do. Sorry, Billy.
Billy was rooting for the fucking Heat tonight. Well, Billy was rooting for less work.
He found out halfway through the first quarter. He's like, wait, if the Heat win this game, we don't have to record late on Thursday? And we're like, yeah.
And then he put on a Heat shirt and was going nuts. I'm going to do something that I don't often do, and I'm going to thank you, PFT.
You're welcome. I appreciate you because you were the one that made the golf bet.
And when the Celtics were down three, nothing instead of doom and gloom, we're down three, nothing. There's no way when this series, I had to will myself to convince I had to listen back to Monday show.
I had to convince myself right Monday show ended and then the wheels started turning. Yeah.
And I was looking at knockoffing for a month and I had to convince myself, right, Monday's show ended, and then the wheels started turning. Yeah.
And I

was looking at not golfing for a month, and

I had to convince myself that they

could win two games. And once I did that,

I realized they

can win four games, and that's where I'm

at right now. I don't think it

wouldn't happen if it wasn't for the bet, because it's like

winning four games is a

big thing

to overcome. It's like they just need to win two, and if they win two, they're winning four.
And everyone in this room knows this. I actually agree with Hank.
This is a must win for the Heat. Game five, you can't let them win because not only will Hank get off the golf bet, which nobody wants except for Hank and maybe some groundskeepers in the greater Chicagoland area that would make a fortune off Hank this summer.
But also, I know for a fact that if it's 3-2, they're going to win four, and I'm going to lose my bet. Well, the pressure goes back on the heat.
Hank's going to doink me. I think we're going to get doinked again.
Hank and I agreed. The Celtics are going to be heavily favored in Game 5.
They should take care of business at home on paper. And then, in my eyes, Game 6 becomes Game 7, because if it's three, three going back to Boston, the Celtics should win the game again.
I'm wrong a lot. I've been wrong plenty of times before on the show, making things.
So logistically, that's where my head's at. Why are you pointing? You were five and a half.
You were, I said six and a half or six. I said seven and a half.
It's eight. Yeah.
Oh, wow. Yeah.
So the Celtics should take care of business. I don't like you pointing at me in my mind game six could be game seven yeah so Jake does that make game five game six yeah so that yeah game four must win for the heat well not necessarily game six is the must win which is game five Max is we also have Max who's very upset that Hank found his mojo yeah Max is a scumbag though because he likes to likes to be like, I'm rooting for you, Hank, I'm rooting for you, Hank.
And then you hear him be like, I was at no point where any of my I'm rooting for you, Hank's genuine. Like, zero.
It's not like I was pretending. Obviously, I'm not rooting for the Celtics.
Why the fuck would I be rooting for the Celtics? Did you bet on them last game? Oh, I did. I did bet on them last game.
See, this is what I love. I love how cocky Hank is right now.
This is perfect. I'm just asking questions.
That was a good impression of Max that you just did. Sounded like a dying alien in a movie.
No, we're getting pure, unfiltered, straight from the source, Henry Lockwood right now. There's no restrictor plate on his brain.
It's the same. It goes back to my packing.
You can do it ahead of time. You can be proactive and get it done at a normal time.
Or you can wait until the last minute. We have no time left.
Celtics were crassing. Facts against the wall.
You get it done. Hank is a professional crassinator.
Celtics were like, we're not going to win a game until we absolutely have to. Yep.
Right now they will. Which is me.
I'm not going to pack a box. Jake.
Jake. Yeah.
Nine o'clock the night before. Hank, what did you say before the game? You said Missoula went down to Miami and he put two suits in the ceiling.
Yeah. He left the suit in the ceiling and said, we'll come back and pick this up game six.
Yeah. Yeah.
And he doesn't wear a suit. But Hank, it would have to be seven games.
And also he doesn't wear a suit. Nope.
we'll come back and pick this up game six yeah yeah and he doesn't wear a suit but hank it would have to be seven games and also he doesn't wear a suit nope we'll come back back up game six so he's gonna put the suit on game six which has to wear a whole again he does not wear a suit and then and then wear it again game seven no he's gonna leave a suit in miami so that he can have it after they win game six on the way back home to wear a suit so he going to wear a shirt on the sidelines and then a suit on the plane. There might be a number of listeners who are lost in this entire car.
Well, this show really, so are we, but what Hank was getting, he combined two great coach stories, one of which Pat Riley, he left a one. He said, we're only packing one suit for this trip because we're not going to need two.
We're closing it out in one game. And then there was another instance a couple years ago where a coach left like a thousand bucks in the ceiling.
That was the Celtics. It's like, because we're going to come back here and we're going to get a thousand bucks back.
But Missoula is taking it to the next level. He's leaving a suit behind in the ceiling.
And again, does not wear a suit. We should just keep reminding Hank that.
Jake, there are reports that Tyler Hero has been cleared for all basketball-related activities. First of all, I don't know what basketball-related activities means.
Secondly, is there any chance that he plays in this series? Probably not. The target was always NBA Finals should they get there.
So I would say no.

How the fuck do you not play in this game if you're healthy?

Because he's not cleared to play in the basketball game.

He's cleared for basketball activities.

That means he's like fucking play.

Well, I don't think he hasn't played in three weeks.

And I know you think that you could just like roll out and play in an NBA game.

But I think that probably has something to do with it. Billy could.
I just don't like the attitude. Yeah.
Billy did not care about this series two hours ago. No.
And then a 15-minute Zoom post-game Thursday changes his whole stance. Which he doesn't have to be there for.
I thought we were going to live stream it and record really late. Billy was upset that he was going to have to work four days this week.
No. No, I just wanted to beat some traffic.

Got it. So you wanted to leave.
You still can do that.

Memorial Day traffic. You can still

do that. I know.
I'm very happy. Alright, Hank.

Well, congratulations. Thank you.
It's good to

see some fire from you. Yeah.

I mean, you

are temporarily back.

Because you were the saddest

sack the last few shows. And it's going

to be so great when you lose. Which again, when you're down 3-0, I do truly, fundamentally, at my core,

don't understand.

And when you're down 3-2, you just never need to sleep again.

This Hank is the best Hank.

Also, I think if the Celtics win game five, but the Heat win game six,

Hank won't be as mad because the golf is that. That's not true, Jake.
I care about the Celt it i think that's a big part of it no no no well then why don't we extend the bet make it make it uh if it's three to two then you don't golf and what am i getting in return for that i don't know you tell me i'm gonna think about that deal but uh i'll get back to you on if I think that makes sense. It's not a bad strategy by PFT because you're not thinking straight about anything.
But I think I think the straightest when I'm not thinking straight. That's true.
Hank, you do have to not sleep. I play a draw.
I play a draw. For some reason.
Starts left, comes right. When you fall asleep at night, that's when the enemy takes over.
Yeah. Sleep Hank is you sleep yeah you ever think about that i mean i've always wondered why i'm dumb in that i mean i sleep a lot i like to sleep i love i do love to sleep i always wondered why it's an all-time quote just that's the best because you're basically trapped in your own brain where you're

thinking about why you're dumb but you can't figure out because you're dumb yeah it's because you turn your brain off every night for too long it takes a while to reboot again yeah stop sleeping hank with no sleep you haven't even yawned which means you like broke through the wall no i yeah that's the it's the adrenaline yeah yeah you're like brooks at the panthers game yeah All right.

Congratulations, Hank.

Series is...

Congrats, Hank.

You can't say series is on, but it is on. Oh, it's on.
It's on? It's on. Oh, it's on.
It's on. Max? Like, we've just forgotten everything that has happened in this series because of one quarter of basketball.
No. Like, no.
Like, the Celtics played well in the third quarter, and then the Heat were like, all right, we'll go win game five. I mean, the Celtics had...
Like, the Heat... The Celtics had well in the third quarter and then the Heat were like all right we'll go win game five I mean the Celtics like the Heat the Celtics had leads in the fourth quarter before this yeah no but like we everyone everything that has been said about this series are that is that the Heat are a different team the Heat are are resilient they are like for talking quarters Mac fact fiction the Celtics won the fourth quarter in games one two they'd be up three one three-one.
Yes, but that is the difference between the Heat. You can play with both sides.
Now we got a true battle of the brains. I'm just going to sit back and watch these two Titans cry.
The Heat are going to win in game five. Spolster needs to bring one suit to Boston.
One suit. One suit.
One polo and pants. One polo and pants.
Okay, other series. The Los Angeles Lakers.
Wait, Pat Riley needs to go to Boston with one suit. Yeah, one suit.
He will be there. He only brought one suit.
The Los Angeles Lakers got swept. LeBron James.
First half. Throwback performance.
Laid it all on the line. 31 points.
Ran out of gas. And the Nuggets were just better.
They were the better team. They are going to the finals for the first time in franchise history they went to the finals as an aba team uh first sweep in franchise history 44 playoff series first time they swept someone uh and yokich is now he's averaging a triple double and he has eight triple doubles in these playoffs i'm the Nuggets.
They're just fucking really good. Is that the all-time record, too, for triple-doubles? I think he tied Wilt.
Yeah. I mean, every record is Wilt.
Might have passed him. Yeah.
But the fact that he did it only playing four games a series is kind of crazy. Yep.
And then he— It actually was like a—as far as sweeps go, that was kind of a fun series. Yeah.
Every game was pretty close and fun.

The Lakers were not bad.

Right.

The Nuggets are just, they're a wagon right now.

Yeah.

I would like to admit that I was wrong.

Nugs and six is what I kept saying.

I was wrong about not being right enough about the Nuggets.

Yeah.

So hand up.

I didn't realize just how great they were.

I knew they were great.

Didn't know they were great, great like that.

And Jokic is just, he's a story that everyone should be rooting for.

He's a guy who drafted in the second round. A case of Rito took his draft moment, was overweight, worked himself into an MVP shape, you know, like playoff, playoff, you know, bad playoffs the last couple of years.
They did go to the Western Conference final in the bubble, which we don't count. But getting through that wall, getting to the NBA finals, the Nuggets look like the best team in the playoffs.
They've looked like the best team for long stretches of this season. I'm happy for him.
Hank, have we made any progress? You're our point man at Taco Bell. Any progress on them bringing back the Quesarito if Jokic wins NBA finals MVP? I'll circle back.
Okay. Get it for us.
Yeah. Put a pin in that one one link back with me um i would like to see that it's a delicious menu item but yeah i'm i'm very impressed with nuggets i i grow more and more fond of them each and every day they're fun they're so fun to watch jamal murray by the way he he might have had a better series than yokich did he was he was phenomenal and he's getting to the point now where he's getting so good in the playoffs that people will forget that he videotaped himself getting his dick sucked.
I did forget that. Yeah.
I tried very, very hard to forget. So he's getting to that point, though.
You have to do a lot in America to make people forget a sex game. Yeah, he's doing it.
He's getting to that point. Yeah, good for him.
Yeah, I'm happy for him. I'm happy to see him overcome that.
Aaron Gordon was like, you know, Orlando or Aaron Gordon. Like, he was awesome.
He found something shooting threes. KCP played well.
KCP is a very good player. Jeff Green still in the league.
Yeah, KCP is one of those guys like, hey, maybe the Lakers probably should have. He won a title with the Lakers, Half title.
Yeah. Not a real title.
I'm also addicted to Jokic horse content. It's the best.
It is. Watching Jokic do the chariot behind the horse, which I almost feel worse for the horse when they're dragging Jokic's big ass behind them than when Jokic is riding them.
But there's so many awesome pictures of Jokic standing next to a horse. Yeah.
And you're like, that's a miniature horse. Oh, no, wait.
Yeah, Jokic's just an absolute monster. He's just the biggest dude ever.
That's like what he does every offseason. He goes back to Serbia and just hangs out with horses.
Yeah. That sounds like a pretty cool life.
And his brothers. Yeah.
Who are badasses. His brothers throwing Michael Malone up in the air after the game.
Awesome. That was amazing.
Also, Jokic getting, I don't know if you saw this moment, but when they were, it's always great whenever a team wins on the road and they get the emptied out arena and it's like, it feels like they've conquered like territory where it's like, it's just them in there. Yeah.
But Jokic was handed a shirt. He started to put it on and he immediately was like, this is like a large and I'm a triple XL and the clip of him, like they're handing the trophy and he's trying to put it over his head and he just bailed on it.
He's like, no, not going to work. I like we always talk about the silent arena after like a Steph Curry three on the road.
Yes. There was a great moment right after the game was over when the Lakers announcer had to announce that the Nuggets just won the Western Conference finals.
And it was the saddest thing ever. It was like, congratulations to the Denver Nuggets.
Yes. Western Conference champions.
He did the voice where it's like, please stop throwing objects on the court. Yep.
Yeah. Very serious.
Oh, Hank. Hank is woken back up.
The Blakes. We forgot about that.
Oh, yeah. There you go.
Yeah. We had a meeting at the Blakes tonight.
Yeah. There we go.
Down in Miami. Thinking about that when we were talking we're talking nuggets lakers good callback hank we saw we saw brooks he was he was sitting courtside brooks looks tired he looks like he's ready to go to sleep him and hank handshake and then he was also at the peas game yeah he was at the peas game yeah we'll talk about that a little bit later and uh and blake griffin was also there so we had to know did they say hi to each other they did in fact they did dap each other up before the game started and since jenna was there too we might have had three blakes yeah in about like two square feet yeah we need to get the curb your enthusiasm footage like someone's got to have that like a picture video of it happening what does that have to do the curb curb their enthusiasm like solve the oh okay yeah yeah it's hard to decipher what you're saying but you we get it eventually yeah that's i mean that's i feel like that was a big everyone knew that well kind of you're talking about a guy who got acquitted of a murder and and wanting a footage of a dapok i thought he was talking about the music plan yeah me what I thought.
But no, we get it. We follow you.
Yeah, we're on the same wavelength. We're one team, one heartbeat.
Hank, this will get you excited. Talk about LeBron James getting swept.
That's incredible. Jordan, when he got swept, he did in three games.
Yeah. It took LeBron four.
Yeah, I mean, I don't have much to say about that. We can't lose 4-1 one and I can't really be danced on his grave.
He's old. He's washed up.
So it's not it's not the way it was. He's just you know, he's going to retire.
Well, he's not going to retire. That was classic LeBron to basically be like, oh, I got swept.
Let me talk about retiring real quick so that the story then becomes LeBron might walk away instead of LeBron got swept. I thought I thought it was a little classless, distasteful for LeBron to tease his retirement on the day of his best friend Carmelo Anthony's actual retirement, which I have to admit, I thought he retired like a year ago.
Well, at least. I don't know if you know this, but LeBron knew about that a week ago.
He did. Yeah.
He did the video when they made the video. Yeah, that was.
But yeah, LeBron 0.0% chance he doesn't play at least another game of basketball in the NBA. Has he missed like 100 threes in the fourth quarter, this playoffs? It was 100, yes.
It was exactly 100. Like 73.
That's actually how they decided the series. First to miss 100 threes.
Yeah, he's not retiring. No, he's not.
There's no way he's retiring. LeBron.
There's a couple things that make it so he is not retiring. One, could you ever in a million years see LeBron James not doing a retirement tour? No, he's going to require a gift from every team that he visits on the road.
He's going to ask that they retire his jersey number. Yeah.
He's going to pull out all the stops. It's going to be.
It's going to be a big thing. It's going to be a big thing.
Two, Bronny is playing at USC. He still wants to play with Bronny.
He can't retire if he wants to play with Bronny. Three, retirement tour.
PFT, guess where the All-Star game is? The NBA All-Star game is in 2025. LeBron James is from, I forget where he went to college.
He is from Cleveland. Akron.
He's from Akron. Is it in Cleveland, Ohio? It is not.
It's in Los Angeles. Oh, okay.
So LeBron James, the 2025 All-Star game, I'm assuming they'll rename a trophy after him, something like that. That will be the LeBron Fest.
That's what's going to happen. He's going to play two more years.
There's no chance. This is ridiculous that he would even say it.
Well, let's also say that LeBron played this game injured. He did.
an injury that many people thought nobody could even walk on so that after you can set your watch uh if it's chris paul or if it's lebron james losing in the playoffs within about 18 hours you'll get a story about how injured they were now lebron was hurt i mean he's he's old he's played a full season he's probably banged up a little bit but the story started to come out right afterwards he's going to take some time off he's going to tease retirement he's old. He's played a full season.
He's probably banged up a little bit, but the story started to come out right afterwards. He's going to take some time off.
He's going to tease retirement. He's going to say, you know, I don't know if I want to go through this rehab process, playing another season is especially grueling.
And then he's going to be like, you know what? I'm going to lace it up for another year. Yeah.
And then he'll be back. And he, look, I know that we're not the most pro LeBron podcast.
I hate it when stars do that. What? Just tease retirement and then come back at the end.
Oh, yeah, yeah. We're not the most pro LeBron podcast, but what he did at the first half last night was special.
He's 38 years old. He's not the LeBron.
He played, I think, all but four seconds on Monday night. It was pretty insane that he was able to throw it back for that he did run out of gas but he's 38 years old the the lakers like found something very special in austin reeves uh ruey hutchimura played great all these playoffs the big question is anthony davis like you needed anthony davis to be the alpha because lebron is 38 years old and he wasn't that guy on both ends.
I also have something funny for you, PFT that I just,

I,

I love. the alpha because LeBron is 38 years old and he wasn't that guy on both ends.
I also have something funny for you, PFT, that I just, I, I like, I was having a debate with our friend Kirk Minahan about top 10 players of all time. It's a take that I'm brewing for later on some other, some other day I'll, we'll do like our worst takes or the takes that will get us in the most trouble.
But anyway, I think LeBron's in there. Yeah, no, he is.
He is. That wasn't the take.
I went and I looked at the top 75 all time. The list they made the other, like whatever it was two years ago when it was seven 50 anniversary.
Where's Anthony Davis on the top 75? He is, he can't be that high up, right? 74. Yeah.
Or he's like 76. Thanks, PFT.
I'm going to say... Fair, fair, fair.
Yeah, turn your mic off, bitch. 71.
53! That's crazy. That's crazy.
That's insane! So when they put him on that list, that's people in a room just thinking to themselves, imagine Anthony Davis trying to get deed up by Pistol Pete and dunking on his head. That's why they put him that high on the list.
Imagine how far Anthony Davis would rock one of Bob Cousy's layups. Yeah, exactly.
This is just looking at Anthony Davis, the freak athlete, and then comparing him to old players that were, by any objective stretch, much, much greater NBA players than Anthony Davis was. It's just 53, and, like, yeah, I mean, he had moments in these playoffs.
He had some games. He had a 40-point game.
He played great defense at times, but, like, he was not what the Lakers – the Lakers needed him to be special. They needed him to be the guy.
And he wasn't. Yeah, he wasn't.
Yeah, he was 53. He wasn't.
He was healthy though. He was.
That was nice to see. What about, what about the rest of the supporting cast? Schroeder.
You like Schroeder. Yeah.
I actually think what the, what the Lakers should do, the key to their season this year was getting rid of Westbrook. They need to resign Westbrook and then trade them away again.
Yes, I would agree. And then vibes just skyrocket.
They should maybe try to do that with Chris Ball, too. Yes.
We also had, at the Lakers game, we're already starting the rumor mill because LeBron said he was going to retire, but we also had a player there who LeBron might play with again. So Kyrie Irving was at the Lakers game Yeah, that's right.
And that will start the rumor mill. Look, I don't want, I'm not a LeBron fan, but I don't want him to retire because he's fun.
It's fun. And from a pure basketball standpoint, watching him put in 31 in the first half and being like, I'm going to empty the tank trying to will my team to not get swept was special.
And it's fun to watch. For all the LeBron stans out there, and also LeBron haters.
So I guess in this threesome I'm thinking about right now, I'd say Shannon Sharp as a lover, and then Nick Wright as a lover, and Skip Bayless as a hater. When LeBron James retires, they're still going to do like two years of content about what LeBron would have done on that night if he had been on that team yes oh yeah you can't quit LeBron cold turkey yeah you have to wean yourself off him he will they will have tweet alerts on and if LeBron tweets about any game that will be the lead story yeah that'll be their take on it uh it was there were some people saying it was disrespectful to the Nuggets how much attention was being paid to the Lakers guess what the Lakers it's well on's LeBron.
It's also like you talk about the losers when the winners go on. I've never understood when people get upset about that.
You have more time to talk about the Nuggets. They're playing in the NBA Finals.
They have another series. When a team loses and gets swept, like if the Celtics had gotten swept tonight, we would have talked about the Celtics.
That's how it works. You talk about the dead corpse and the team that's living and goes on you have another day to talk about them yeah like john john wasn't saluting jackie onassis as she walked down the street she was saying bye to her dad i just hate that shit i hate when people like oh you don't talk about yeah the winners get to keep playing yep we're gonna talk about them the nuggets have two full weeks where and we are we led with the nuggets here we talked about the nuggets before the lakers but the nuggets have two full weeks where they get praise and they deserve it they're fucking special team uh i did also um now i'm starting to i'm i'm ditching i'm getting into the like saying way too many nice things about lebron uh he he gave a quote that was anti-yanus which i appreciated because i i liked him saying this i i don't think he was like subtweeting Giannis or anything but it was interesting seeing it he said when asked about it about the season he says I think it was okay I don't like to say it's a successful year because I don't play for anything besides winning championships at this point in my career you know I don't get a kick out of making a conference finals appearance I've done it a lot yep nice brag fair and it's not fun to me to not be able to be part of getting to the finals but we'll see we'll see we'll see then he talks about his retirement but i appreciate that lebron was being honest when he's like i'm not fucking playing basketball at 38 years old to be in a conference finals yeah no i i think that's he's 100 right about that like of course he's not he's not going to be going out there and putting his body through all that shit right just to lose again right he wants to win i respect that about lebron say what you want about him he's always wanted to win he's never he has there have been maybe one or two games where uh he's come up and just laid a complete egg in the playoffs but for three against dallas was a game four yeah eight points eight points.
But for the most part, LeBron James, he competes when he's out there and when he's not flopping. But I'm going to miss talking about him when he's gone.
But he's not gone. He's not gone yet.
Everybody out there is getting faked out by the LeBron retirement thing. If LeBron James retires from the NBA, I will also retire from the NBA.
Okay. Actually, let's go one further.
If LeBron James retires from the NBA I will also retire from the NBA okay I actually let's go one further if LeBron James retire if LeBron James doesn't play a single more single uh more basketball game I had some bad sentence Hank help me if he quits no no Hank go ahead you got it if LeBron James doesn't record a stat in anba game ever again okay nice pft i think you and i should have to wear lebron jerseys for an entire month make it a year fine it's a year a year i'll wear lebron jersey for a year let's do a month a month we'll do a month no then why don't you get a cat you you fucking pussy? What? Yeah, you heard what I said. I put I rest a cat.
A month. A month.
We'll do it for an entire month. I will also.
No, you know what? We'll get cats. Fuck it.
I will read The Godfather. I will read The Godfather, and I will get a cat.
I will not get a cat. I will wear a LeB james jersey for every nfl sunday next year oh that's easy no like you gotta do more i'm getting a cat i wear it for all nfl season every day every day and get cornrows for a month i will get why cornrows why not lebron james has he ever had cornrows all right's nothing to LeBron.
I will go bald. I will go bald.
What does that mean? You are going bald. No, but my hair's growing back.
Oh, nice. Congrats.
Who's back of the week? I will. No, I'll wear a LeBron James jersey.
For the entire NBA season. For the entire NBA season.
There you go. And I'll get a cat.
Yep. But I also will not get a cat if he sits out next year.
Yeah. Because I think he could sit out next year and then play with Bronny.
Maybe come back and play for the Wizards. We also could just say he'll always come back.
Yeah, that's true. Barry Sanderson.
Yeah, keep pushing that off. Okay, yeah, so those are the stakes.
Bronny's mom's hot, by the way. LeBron's wife? Yeah, well, Bronny's mom.
Yeah. Savannah is her name.
Can you say her name? name she has a name she's bronnie's mom that's her most savannah that's her most important job she's savannah yeah savannah good-looking girl woman woman with all due respect knock it out the park why what do you know that clip no oh my god it's so funny we mean why mark jackson i don't know i don't know the context but he literally says i'm knocking out the park i'll do respect about lebron's wife yes it's i'm gonna play it it's it's i would not knock it i would i would hit a sack fly i i i have a take to you had it ready to go all of that talk was that his wife, Savannah,

had a sinker ball

and a fastball as a high school softball

pitcher. I tell you

what. And you know what I was thinking, Mike?

We've had this running debate

whether Mark could put into play

against an average major league...

Wait, they're actually talking about softball.

Yeah, hey. Well, I never heard this part of it.

We'll cut this. Hey.
I've only heard this part. Ready? I've only heard this part.
Ready? Because of her sinker. Thompson for three-woah go.
Kevin loved the rebound. I'm shocked you downplayed Savannah.
He said she was all city. James again from downtown.
And I hit out the park. No question.
With all due respect. So I miss.
Context matters. Context matters.
Wait. That just ruined it.
So you've just been living in a world where Mark Jackson said on national TV, I will fuck LeBron James' wife. He would have been killed.
I've only heard the Cooper goes, I think you're downplaying Savannah. And Savannah and I would knock it out the park with all due respect which without the softball context is the funniest quote of all time and now I just ruined it for myself and probably other awl probably not but I guess that makes more sense would you hit Savannah out of the park would you knock her out of the park you admit it makes sense now I'd hit a dribbler to the mound.
Hank? We've lost him again. Okay.
I would say, by the way, Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy, I don't know if they like basketball anymore. They complain nonstop.
Yeah. And I know that sometimes it's good because they're saying things that the NBA doesn't want to be said and all that.
But, like, they really don't.

Like, there's times where I'm like, do these guys even want to be here?

They just get frustrated with the officiating.

With everything, though, with load management, with the officiating,

with fouls, with, like, everything.

You get old fast.

It's crazy. You get old fast watching sports.

Everybody becomes a boomer.

Yeah.

I just, I used to love those guys.

And now I'm like, they're just, they feel angry half the time.

I love how Mark Jackson always calls Jeff Van Gundy coach.

Yeah.

I do like that part of that.

I don't you dare anyone tweet saying you didn't talk about hockey. We did.
Yeah. We just talked.
The nights. Hurricane.
Just talked. We said them.
I don't know. I mean, I've been watching all the series.
It's fun to watch playoff hockeys, but it's hard when it's 3-0. Yeah.
And the Panthers, like the Hurricanes, they played a very good game the other night. And they just won nothing.
Yeah, Bob was sick. Brick wall Bob.
He has like 67 straight saves, so he's been on fire. I think it might have been our friend Paul Bissonnette.
It might have been somebody else on that desk. When it went to overtime the other night, they said it was Stars Nights, and can't have you can't have a night with no stars and they were saying the stars were going to win that's just not true you can have a night with no stars easily but you can't have well yeah if you live in a city with with air pollution yeah but you can you can they meant the other thing which is you can't have stars with no night well technically the sun the sun's a star

fuck yeah the other thing, which is you can't have stars with no night. Well, technically the sun.
The sun's a star. Fuck.
Yeah. What are you, Neil deGrasse Tyson? Hank has made us all a little bit hot.
Yeah, I got contact. It's hot in here.

And in the back in the back of my head i was like we're gonna flash forward 12 hours and he'll still have okay well we're on uh my hot seat do you have anything yes pants oh okay good it's getting hot out short season um my other hot seat i guess yeah and then I guess I'll say it this way my cool throne is me uh because I'm I'm a mature looking gentleman I tweeted and said I'm wrapping up my 20s couple weeks I'll be 30 so this Celtics money line tonight was the game of my 20s put a decade on the line borderline overwhelming response to people saying I thought you were already way older than 30 oh you're distinguished some could look at as an insult I look at as a compliment because I'm a mature older gentleman that's also internet age like people have known you for 11 years now it's 10 years as well yeah yeah and it's been but i'm saying like they've known

you watched you probably 10 years this week yeah that's a really long time uh yeah so cool throwing me all right great job is this our 10-year anniversary me and you yeah wow what's the 10-year anniversary gift jake can you look that up the traditional one i mean i tried i diamond I was hoping Big Cat was going to ride with me.

Hank, I tried. Diamond.
I was hoping big.

I was going to ride with me.

Hey, I've explained this time and time again.

It doesn't matter.

I just want to write about it.

You've talked about it.

I fucked up.

Tin or aluminum gifts.

Oh, get him some.

Symbolize strength and longevity.

Hank, I actually just got this for you.

It's the part of my take koozie.

I know. So what'd you get me? I got you a 10.
He's pulling it out of his pocket. I lost it.
Okay. Jake, you got one? Extra one? Not on me.
Okay, so good hot seat, cool thrown, Hank. Thank you.
Great job, Hank. I really don't want you to ever sleep again.
Like, I don't want to. You know what this is like? I'm fading.
This is like the Dwight Schrute when he gets concussed episode. Yeah.
He's so nice. I don't want you to go back to just regular Dwight.
I love this. Hank.
You're fading. Yeah.
Did you drive today? No. Oh, I was gonna say you're asleep behind the wheel.
No, thank God. Okay.
We got an tomorrow we do you're not gonna make it yeah well what are you doing tomorrow morning uh we gotta shoot shoot what a video we gotta shoot what kind of video is it at a golf course and hank hank so i'll just say it it's got it's gonna come out soon it's's for a giveaway. And we're going to shoot at a golf course.

No teasers.

I literally need to shoot one shot, PFT.

And Hank keeps in planning this.

He's like, yeah, we'll play like three or four holes.

I'm like, no, no.

I need to take one shot.

I'm going to take one shot.

And then we're getting in the car and going to work.

Yeah, but like, you know, show business.

It's like you got to take multiple takes.

See?

He's been doing this the whole time.

He's like, we'll do like three or four holes He's been doing this the whole time where he's like,

we'll do like three or four holes.

I'm like, no, no, no.

One shot is all I need.

Hank needs to take zero shots.

Hank himself needs zero shots.

He's going to take shots.

He's going to take a shot.

You're going to play a full nine.

No.

I'm telling you, this golf bet, it's heavy in importance. oh yeah more than the self yeah no i don't give a fuck oh about golfing oh i would i would go to caddy school okay i already thought about it dft it's not gonna happen uh my hot seat is the europa conference final in soccer because nolsy's going that's right bitch nolsy's you guys know nolsy no Nolsey is the Europa Conference final in soccer because Nolsey's going.
That's right, bitch. Nolsey's going.
You guys know Nolsey? No. Nolsey is the West Ham fan that at their semifinal match, it was against AZ Alkmaar.
Okay. Their fans are the ultras.
They're like big time hooligans. Yeah.
After the game was over, the ultras tried to storm the West Ham friends and family family section in the stands and this one big british unit this absolute lad stood on the stairs like it was at the 300 at thermopoly bridge fighting them all off punching these guys in the face keeping this it's probably like 24 30 guys how do you spell him uh nolzy his name is chol, but they call him Nolsey, which is a perfect name for him. Okay.
K-N-O-L-L. This fucking unit was just up there swinging, punching dudes in the face, knocking them all back.
The video went viral. West Ham, my team, my club, they reached out to him and they bought him tickets to go to the final match next month.
They're sending him there as an official fan representative. This dude is awesome.
But I'm sure that if you look deep enough into Nolsey's internet history, I'm guessing you might find something bad. I don't know.
I don't know that for a fact, but I know how these stories go. Just appreciate Nolsey in the moment.
Okay, so I searched Nolsey because I wanted to watch the video, and the first video that popped up was so Nolsey didn't actually do anything and just got battered. Haters.
And it's just a video of, I think, Nolsey getting his ass kicked. That's a bad angle.
Look at the other one. It's the best angle because it's the one from above.
Look at the other one, though. Okay.
You'll see Nolsey just defending. He's defending the wall.
Got it. Nolsey's a fucking lad.
That one bummed me out because it was just an older guy getting fucking worked. Yeah.
Well, even if he did just get worked, he still put his body on the line and protected everybody else that was in the stands. Yeah.
Shout out Nolsey. Okay.
Shout out Nolsey. You're an absolute lad.
Okay. And then my cool throne is Thursday night football ratings because the NFL announced that they are flexing weeks 12 through 18 Thursday night football 13 through 17.
I read 12 through 18. Jake's right.
Probably. I don't think there's a Thursday game on week 18.
All right. Whatever, Jake.
Sorry. It was mine too.
Dude knows he's getting 13 through 17. Watch the other one.
You haven't watched the good angle. I'm seeing a picture too.
He's got a black guy. No, but you watch the other end.
Yeah, yeah, because he fought 40 guys. Okay, all right.
I'm trying to find the other angle. I'm going to wait to resume this until you find the good video.
I don't know where the other angle is that shows Nolsey protecting everyone. Just search Nolsey on Twitter.
It looks like the fake news has gotten a hold of the Nolsey story. No, no, Nolsey.
Oh, yeah, all right, so I'm seeing the other angle, which is kind of the bad angle but yeah he did a good job knows he beat the fuck out of it's hard it's hard to erase what i saw first knows he's a lad uh so weeks 13 through 17 are now eligible to be flexed on thursday night football they're going to give teams a minimum of 28 days notice before the decision is made that feels like a lot of guessing to be like oh one month from now this game will be better than the game that we have in its place so the ones that are eligible to be flexed dallas at seattle pittsburgh at new england san francisco at seattle the rams at the saints and the browns at the jets so at least one of those will be flexed my favorite uh argument when this this up was the football writers are like, won't anyone think about the fans that are planning their schedule to go to away games? It's like, yeah, okay. There's probably a couple hundred that we're going to go to a late season Thursday night game away.
But how many millions of people are going to watch a game on TV and we might get better football? Yeah, so that's what it boils down to. But I do feel bad.
You probably want to put – Also, they're telling you right now don't plan to go to that game. So my idea for announcing NFL schedules in a perfect world just for TV purposes if there were no fans in the stands would be Sunday night after the afternoon slate before the night game starts on Football Night in America.
At that point, they announce what the games next week are going to be. And then if you lose, guess what? You have something to watch that show for because there's nothing worse.
If you lose on Sunday, you avoid the highlight shows like it's the plague. But if you watch that for the selection, for the schedule unveiling for the next week.
I love it. Oh that would be so awesome so awesome i predict right now um ram saints that's gonna be flexed what is it seahawks cowboys see dallas at seattle i could see the cowboys sucking this year i hope so doesn't that feel like they do that yeah hank can't have it all yeah uh steelers at new england They're going that one.
49ers at the Seahawks. I could also see the Seahawks sucking this year.
Yeah. And then the Browns at the Jets.
They're going to want to put Rodgers on primetime. Okay.
My hot seat, similar football, is the dogs trying to make a roster because they changed the kickoff rule again, fair catches, which college football already has. I'm fine with it.
I don't care. Yeah.
The only bummer is that we're not going to see any returns at all. Yeah.
I mean, we'll see some still because if you kick it to like the 10, they might return it. They've been gradually phasing that out of the game.
Yeah. Yeah.
Which is, it does suck a little bit, but I also, it already happens in college football. So I'm always like of the belief that if it's, if it's a rule that happens in college football, they make it the NFL.
I'm okay with it. Cause my brain was already split halfway down where it's like, you know, you'll watch a college football game.
And there was the first couple of years where it happened. And I'm like, why are they fair catching it? Yeah.
My brain is adjusted. You know what? They fair catch a kickoff.
I will know what's going on. We're always going to have the Corderell Patterson return with the Skycam.

Yeah.

That's really when kickoffs.

That was the last great kickoff that we got to see.

Yeah.

They're just going to end up pooch kicking it to the 20 and they're going to cover and they're just going to fair catch it every time.

Yeah.

But what if they miss the pooch kick?

Exactly.

And then they get to return it.

It could be squib kicks.

The return of the squib.

There's an art in that.

Okay. And then my cool throne is Carmeloelo anthony we alluded to it but he retired uh legendary career oh jake thank you mellow all right thank you mellow three-time gold medal winner yeah american hero um people were talking maybe retire his number for the nuggets he does wear the same number as yokich someone had the good idea on Twitter that they should just make 15 the best Nuggets player.
Yeah, it's like number 10 in soccer. Right, exactly.
I do think he might get retired. I wouldn't be shocked if the Knicks retire his number.
They might. Because what, Hank? Go to like the second round once? Yeah, he was the best Knicks memories in the past 30 years.

Yikes.

He picked the Knicks, though, over.

Because the member after LeBron, Bosh, Wade, Summer, and everything.

Mel wanted to be with the Knicks.

He wanted to be with the Knicks.

He picked the Knicks.

That was the I'm Coming Home.

We talked to him about that video.

I think there weren't a lot of people picking the Knicks. You know what?

USA Basketball should retire his number. How about that? Maybe they won't.
I just know that Knicks fans do love Melo. He picked him.
Yeah, you should retire numbers for winners. Not like nice guys that you're like.
Okay. Syracuse retired.
He won a championship. He won a championship.
But yeah, Melo was he I actually think that they like Jeremy Lin to his numbers are retired. Yeah, I know.
Jeremy Lin was like really good for a month. Chris stops.
What about him? They loved Chris stops. Yeah, but he didn't.
He ended very poorly in the playoffs. Did it? And very we're doing second round.
Whatever. I'm not.
Actually, you know what? Hank's right.

It would be weird if the Knicks retired his number.

I'm not basing it on what he did.

I'm saying because he picked him, and no one's picked the Knicks.

Pick me trophies, yeah.

Okay, but I wouldn't be shocked.

Maybe I'm way off.

Knicks fans love Mel.

I wouldn't be shocked either.

I'm just saying it's soft.

Okay. Now, what happens next year if, let's say the lakers making a little postseason postseason noise done down the stretch they need another body let me see there's an injury get on the phone get mellow there nicks mellow is going to be bodying people at lifetime fitness that's what i'm looking forward to yes he should still treat he should play as much basketball he should play more basketball except just casually at the gym pick.
Okay, I'm just going off of a tweet from NBA Central. Should the Knicks retire? Carmelo Anthony's number.
Most people are saying no. Okay, so there you go.
No. I will change my take.
No. No.
Yeah, I agree with that. Even though he picked him.
I just think they have a special place in their heart because he did pick him when no one picked him. What did he wear on USA Basketball? I don't know.
I think he might have worn seven. Carmelo Anthony, USA Basketball, number seven.
They should retire at 15. 15? Okay.
Carmelo Anthony also retires as maybe the coolest thing you could say about someone. He was a walking bucket.
That's what everyone will say. And I also saw a video today that made me very sad and feel very old.
It was some guy on Instagram talking to an AAU team, and they were asking him who Melo is, and they all were just saying LaMelo ball. Yeah.
And that hurt me. That is sad.
Yeah. They should know better.
Yeah. That's bad parenting.
Yeah. Stay mellow.
Okay. Billy.
My hot seat is Italians. Turns out there was recently a crisis meeting in Italy because the price of pasta has been too high.
Ooh. So they had a pasta meeting.
I don't like the sound of a crisis meeting in Italy. I would have liked to see this pasta meeting.
I know. I just think it's hilarious.
Yeah. A bunch of guys standing around like the pastas.
You got a pasta problem. You have to have a pasta riot, pasta rebellion.
Hank, why are you eating yourself? Worry about yourself. I just looked over and you were gnawing on the inside of your finger.
I have a little blister from golf. I'll just get rid of the skin.
Fuck off.

Too much golf.

Okay.

I thought you were trying to bite off your tattoo.

I saved a mean comment during the kickoff thing because I wasn't trying to be contentious.

But if the NFL didn't have kickoffs, your best Chicago player of the last 40 years was a kick returner.

I agree.

I'm not saying.

But they found out that kickoffs are pretty dangerous.

I want football to last forever. All right.
That's why I didn't say anything. I feel like we're on the other side of the delirious mountain.
Well, you're calling me out like I'm just existing. Well, I looked over and you're going like this.
This is weird. This is weird.
You don't worry. You know, your hands are soft.
You got Billy hands. You got Billy hands.
My hands are callous. Oh, we don't want you to do this again.
Like, I don't understand why people. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Well, that went to the.
All right. Good hot seat, Bill.
Yeah, go ahead. Cool throw.
Cool throw. Jets, Alan Lazard had to leave OTAs and Aaron Rodgers.
They both thought they were hurt. It turns out Alan Lazard just got hit in the nuts, and Aaron Rodgers, I think, was trying to take some time off to chill.
Got it. Okay.
That's cool. I thought he had a calf injury.
Yeah. So we were supposed to worry, and then we're not worried.
Yeah, we were supposed to worry. Now we're not worried.
He had a tender little calf, though. Yeah, well, everyone thought Lazard got seriously injured, but they didn't say that he came back to practice.
But they were like, he got carried off. It turns out he just got hit in the nuts.
Got it. That's pretty cool.
Got it. Okay.
Go ahead, hot seat. Cool throw.
My hot seat is birds. Okay.
There was a bird sitting in the infield of the guardians and it got hit and died and there was uh some pitcher was warming up in the outfield drilled a bird with a curveball killed the bird too two days ago yeah so not great uh horses of the sky horses of the sky carson winchett played baseball yeah and sticking with the animal theme by cool throne squirrels squirrel a squirrel was running along the wall of Yankee Stadium yeah rally squirrel and it fell off yeah it fell off now the fans it looks so funny it's a bad look for New York sports fans they were terrified of this squirrel. Probably retire his number.
Yeah. I like this thing.
Jeffrey Marr would have snatched that squirrel up in his glove and crushed it to death. Look at this.
Oh yeah, they were scared. Bad podcasting, but it's the fans.
Their jaws are on the floor and it's a squirrel, slow motion, running on the wall on the short porch and he fell. Down he goes.
Okay, good, cool thrown. Before we do, Jimmy Tatro and Daniel Ricard.
Wait, Hank has another point to make. Fun fact.
No, this is actually just a fun little stat. The Celtics had a team outing at Topgolf after their afternoon film session.
Maybe all their whacking golf balls help relieve their stress. That's just a fun fact.

It is a fact.

It's a fun fact.

I mean, top golf is fun.

Do you have any last words, Hank?

Because we're going to say goodbye to this version of Hank.

I assume you're going to sleep at some point.

I'm going to miss this guy.

Yep.

So maybe say goodbye to the AWLs.

We don't know when we'll see delirious Hank.

I won't sleep on Sunday night. I'll be ready to go Monday.
oh you're not gonna sleep now on sunday on purpose yeah smart for what if there's no game there will be a game there will be you just guaranteed a game seven you guaranteed it right when this game ended he's like we'll see you Monday night. Game seven is guaranteed Henry Lockwood right now.
Yeah, fuck it. PFT is going to be shitting himself.
I will. PFT knows the second I saw that tweet.
I will shit myself. If the Celtics win.
You deserve it. Okay.
Yeah, that's fair. I do.
I do. This is a bet that will make me no friends.

It'll just make me hopefully 10% richer.

It's called math, Hank.

It's called compounding interest.

It's called investing in your future.

Never mind.

Don't lay it off.

You already went after Devin Hester.

Go ahead.

Come on.

Do it.

No, no.

I was thinking, I was trying to pick PFT apart.

You can't.

Yeah.

I'm unpickable.

You can't bite me like I'm your hand.

Okay.

No, nothing.

Nothing.

Okay.

Hank's, he's reached, he's, Tank's empty right now.

You could bite him.

Hank won't bite me.

You deserve to lose.

That's all I'm saying.

Okay. All right.

Let's kick it to ourselves.

Okay, we now welcome on our very good friend, recurring guest, Hollywood star, Jimmy Tatro. No, you're a Hollywood star.
Jimmy, let's start with that. What is life like now that you are a Hollywood star?

Everything has changed.

I think the hardest thing about being a Hollywood star has been just completely replacing my friend group with more star power.

And, you know, I'm not really that good of friends with all these new friends, but, um, but they're better. Yeah.
They're, they're, they're cooler friends. So, you know, it's, it's, it's been necessary to just cut all of the friends and family closest to me.
Um, but that's, that's just part of the biz. That's part of the Hollywood biz, you know? Yeah, it just happens.

So you are on with us because The Machine is coming out this weekend.

You play a young Burt Kreischer, our friend Burt Kreischer.

So let's talk about the movie first.

When you signed up for this, so you're playing Burt Kreischer,

who's in the movie.

It's his life.

It's his story

did he sit you down and he was like this is what you have like this is how cool you have to act like you you need to look like this you need to do this because it's my life to be honest no he didn't even do that even a little bit like i i think i would have liked him to do that a little bit, but he just fully trusted, I guess, every part of the process. So, no, he didn't actually tell me anything that I should be doing or like mannerisms or anything.
But it was a little weird being on set with a guy that you're playing while he's there because Cause you're just like, I'm trying to act like you. Like I had a, I had like a little thing in my lower lip to make my lips look more like his.
And he was like, what's that thing? I'm like, this is to look like you. And he was just like, uh-huh.
Yeah, did you have to put on weight for the role? No, I actually did ask the director that. I was like, so I'm not going to get big for this, just so you know.
And he's like, no, it's fine. You're like a college version of Bird, so I don don't think you need to actually put on any weight.
I was unwilling to do that. Oh, really? So wait, is this going forward? Because you are a big Hollywood actor.
You won't do even the other way, like Christian Bale and the Machinist. You you're not going to do that well i'm not i'm not not down to do it i'm not down to do it when i'm playing burt kreischer okay fair you know if it was if it was a role where it was like this guy is you know you gotta get big for it i would i would i would probably do it but to play young bert in the machine it was it didn't feel like the right the right one yeah i mean to go method acting for bert would actually be pretty easy you just get you get hammered all the time and go on every podcast in america yeah so i'm kind of i kind of did go method then in that sense because you know we were just out there in serbia um just drinking the whole time uh bert is like definitely it was a blast to do the movie with bert and he's definitely um what your parents would call a bad influence but in a great way it seems like because he always seems like he's having the best time ever he is he really created like such a fun environment on set that was just so no one was stressed out um because it's you know he kind of is in a position where he sets the tone like if you're the lead of the movie it's kind of your job to set the tone and he's just so friendly and uh personable and like just funny that it just created a really just a really fun environment on set and he just was like on set like so what are we doing after this what's the move yeah i like that what was it like in serbia how are the serbian people um serbia was interesting you know um the the the people were nice um it was like a very interesting place i love going to places like one of the cool things about this job is like you go to places that you probably would never otherwise go um and so i got to spend like two months in serbia just being immersed in the serbian culture seeing bus ads of nikola yokic everywhere you go it was fun is that why you don't like it that much is because it reminds you too much of yokic uh no you knew we were gonna get here that's the entire reason I asked the question about Serbia.
Yeah, you knew we were going to get here. It's actually credit to us to get almost 10 minutes into the interview without talking about how washed your king looks.
The franchise, really. This is coming out when? Tomorrow? Either Wednesday or Friday.
So it'll be over. So, no.
So by the time this comes out, the Lakers, it will be 3-1. LeBron had a great game last night or the night before.
I forget which one. AD really came through.
And we needed that. I mean, be honest.
You thought that this this year was special you thought that after you beat the warriors it's like this team and they looked really good they they ever since the trade deadline they looked really good um and now they're just flaming out in spectacular fashion the nba is trying to rig the games for the lakers and they're not good enough to win uh where are you at with the future? Because again, LeBron's looking old. Yeah.
You know, it's been a tough, it's been a tough three games. It's been frustrating because it felt like every game we had so many opportunities to win it and we just kept blowing it over and over again um i still think there's a chance right now maybe that's maybe that's wishful thinking but i think if anyone's gonna do it it's this squad um see here's the thing All season, every game I've been to and watched, I've been like,

if we just played defense, we'd be good.

First half, neither team played defense during the regular season.

We'd be winning.

Second half comes around.

We continue to not play defense.

The other team plays defense.

We lose.

So it seemed this all season like we have a pretty straightforward solution. And I don't, you know, I just don't know what's been going on these last three games.
I thought we were on a good roll. And then, yeah, it's tough.
It's tough. It is starting to feel like like uh the nuggets are looking a little too good yeah now would you if if you do end up getting swept or even say it's 4-1 would that be so bad that you then put lebron below kobe in your all-time lakers because i know right now you have LeBron above Kobe.
So how would that shake out?

Yeah, so, no, I think if LeBron pulls this off,

he'll make his way into my top Lakers category.

But for now, I mean, I still don't put him above Pau Gasol.

Oh, wow. That's spicy.
Now, could you consider this season to be a moral victory, though? Say it again? Is this season a moral victory? I mean, you got all the way to the Western Conference Finals. Nobody thought that was going to happen.
Like, good job, Lakers. I think it is.
I mean, I don't think it's a bad result. Even if we don't make a miraculous comeback and win this Nugget Series in seven, I don't think it's a bad result.
I still think it's impressive. That's loser talk.
This is great coming from a Lakers fan. Yeah, that's loser talk.
It's not a failure.

This season's not a failure.

This is the once proud Los Angeles Lakers.

Hey, we got swept in the Western Conference final.

It's steps to success.

It's steps to success.

To what?

Winning a title when LeBron's 45?

No, that was just me quoting Giannis.

It would be great, though, if the Lakers hung a banner that said Western Conference finalist. Won a game.
Maybe. I, look, I respect the shit out of LeBron.
It's just when he, it's just the complaining about the foul calls that I have a,

I have a hard time with,

you know,

maybe if,

if there was a little rest of that,

I would be more willing to include him in that.

My top Lakers category,

but yeah,

it just makes it a little tough.

Yeah.

Austin Reeves is definitely in there though.

That guy is the best.

Austin Reeves.

I swear to God, if we fucking trade Austin Reeves,

I'm going to be so pissed off. We need a guy like Austin Reeves.

Yeah. He's, he is, he is a glue guy.
Are you at the point in your A-list celebrity life that you get free

courtside tickets to the Lakers? Like, have you been,

I assume you've been shown on the Jumbotron, right? Is that the official made it in L.A. moment? I actually have not been shown on Jumbotron.
But it's funny you ask. I did actually have to turn down courtside tickets to the game tonight, which I'm pretty,

pretty devastating to be honest.

But I'm just simply not in LA and it was, it wasn't going to work,

but that was Bert.

Bert invited me to come with him and I, and I had to say no.

And I, I'm still, I'm, I'm kind of mad.

Just thinking about it.

If you lose, it's your fault then.

Yeah.

You could have been there.

You could have made a difference.

That's true. Well, that's the thing about, about courtside seats is you lose, it's your fault then.
You could have been there. You could have made a difference.
That's true.

Well, that's the thing about courtside seats

is you actually can

kind of make a difference.

My friend has the tickets

that are right in front of the

basket where they shoot free throws.

And in that seat,

you can have a big

impact on the game. If you stand up

and scream some shit when they're shooting pre-throws, they'll hear you 100%. So it is a lot of pressure.
But no one on the court is that into it at Lakers games. I feel like people just are trying to look so cool on the floor.
I've always thought that a fan could really create a lot of chaos if they just brought a whistle into an NBA game. If you're sitting courtside and you have a whistle, you can actually stop the other team from winning.
If it's coming down and there's like 30 seconds left, they're trying to get their last shot off, you blow the whistle, yeah, you get kicked out, but that's a defensive stop. Right.
You'd get to blow that whistle one time before you get booted. So you'd have to really be strategic about when you blow.
Yeah, like a fast break. Or game seven.
Yeah. It's a home game.
There's two minutes left. You got to bring that whistle out.
You got to be waiting for just the right time, and you can actually win a championship for your team. Wow.
This is true. But do you think that if you blew a whistle,'d get banned for life or probably yeah but but you get a championship like this is this is a sacrifice that you would make or it could totally backfire and like they could call a technical foul on the fans because that can happen i'm pretty sure they can do that which would be nuts i think like you know you've seen times when like fans have gotten unruly and the coach has to come out and like they'll give like a warning it happens in college basketball where they'll give like a warning to the student section i maybe they would be like yeah that fan maybe what you do is you wear the other other team's colors and then you blow the whistle and then you just mass confusion false flag yeah yeah you get you could actually

win two technical foul shots for your own team yeah something i've wanted to do for years and

maybe now that i say this someone will someone will steal the idea but there's two seats right

next to the lakers bench where you're literally like it's like lakers lakers lakers fan and i

want to get that seat i want to buy that seat and i want to figure out what uniform they're wearing that day and i want to get the warm-ups the jersey and just be on the floor just pretending i'm part of the team joining the huddles you know just trying to get my hand in there for uh for a few things on free. I love that idea.
I've actually had that idea of not for basketball, but for college football. If you just put on a pair of khakis and a team-issued polo, there's like 200 people on the sideline.
You could easily just run out there and just be like, yeah, he's one of the grad assistants. No one knows who he is.
It would work. I think that would 100% work for football because there's just so many guys.
There's no way the coach knows all those names. Yeah, exactly.
Just hanging out. If they ask, just say, I'm the transfer.
That always works. Yeah, exactly.
I'm the new guy. Oh, you're the new guy? Oh, cool.
Yeah, look at these plays I got drawn up. Um, since we since we've last had well we've had you on a few many times but uh the first time we had you on it was like right before everything's kind of taken off for you uh like this is a dumb question but i'm just curious like the last five years of your life has it been like holy shit i can't believe all the things i wanted have are now happening home economics you've been in a couple big time movies like it's it's happening it's all happening in front of our eyes um i definitely feel um like grateful for for where i'm at but i think you know it's it's it's weird like from my perspective it just seems like i've just been kind of slowly cruising and making progress and making progress it hasn't seemed like there's been like a significant like you know jump at any point um it just seems like i don't know like i've just been grinding and working hard and like, it's cool to, it's cool to see big things start to happen.

But from my perspective, it's just been like a slow and steady grind.

Yeah.

Have you, have you had, have you had people in this sucks to ask, but like fans of your YouTube back in the day being like oh dude you sold out oh yeah well first it was you guys yeah well you did yeah i totally did um but uh no it's it's honestly pretty cool like a lot of my fans from my youtube will come up to me on the street and just be like hey man i'm really proud of you and Oh, thanks dude. I had a dude come up to me the other day.
He was like, dude, I've been watching you since I was six. And I was like, yeah.
Yeah. Like how old are you? He's like, I'm 19.
And I was like, wow. Yeah.
I mean, I guess the math works,

but that doesn't really make me feel bad.

You know what, he was six?

Yeah, his brain has been molded by you.

Yeah, I'm like, where are your parents?

He's like, I've been watching since I was six,

and he's just wearing a flat-brim hat.

Bro, you skipped my childhood, dog.

That's awesome. We actually had, we had, uh, Andrew's home on the show and he was talking to us about his, uh, kind of behind the scenes where he was being offered the home economics job.
If you turned it down. And then he said, he DM'd you and was like, the way he put it was very funny.
He was like trying to talk you out of it, not talk you out of it because i think he wanted he wanted that gig and i think he said like jimmy you will this this i don't want to say that this spot is beneath you but you have unlimited potential and it wouldn't be the worst thing if you if you turn this down let me have this one and then you go off you'll be a big star he was actually like so cool about it and he was literally the worst person i called him for advice i was trying to figure out if i should do

the show or not and i knew that he had done like a network show um and he's also like a guy that

makes his own stuff so i called him to be like hey i just wanted to like get your opinion on on you

know your experience doing a network tv show and he was like dude before this goes any further

I'm sorry. called him to be like hey i just wanted to like get your opinion on on you know your experience doing a network tv show and he was like dude before this goes any further i gotta just be honest with you i've been told that if you turn this down they're gonna offer it to me and i would love to do it with that being said uh and then he just like had an honest conversation about about how you know how he felt about the whole thing um but it was just really funny like the one dude that i called for advice on like should i do this or not was like if you don't do it i'm gonna do it and i want to do it so did you did you think like was there a little bit of guilt when you said i'm gonna do it i there was a little bit because i was like i could feel that he really wanted to do it and i'm over here like um so so yeah i hit him up i was like i was like hey man just uh let you know i did i did decide to do it said, dude, that's great.
Super happy for you.

That's so funny.

Hey, is Real Bros of Simi Valley, are we getting another season?

I do have some news.

I can't – it's unofficial right now. But there is – I will have some official update in the next like couple months.
Something is coming. It's so crazy because when we first interviewed you, we were in LA and Hank, our producer, was like, I think you guys got to interview Jimmy Tatro.
We admitted it. We didn't really know you.
You didn't know us. And then since that moment, like, Real Bros of Simi Valley is, like,

maybe my favorite show.

And so, and I know you're going for the cycle.

I think you're trying to get it on the fifth different streaming platform.

Yeah.

So, but, yeah, I want, I need another season.

Like, it is such a fun.

It's one of those shows that you watch and you're like,

how is this not the most popular show?

Because it's that funny.

I know. Believe me, there's been a lot of frustration.
watch and you're like how is this not the most popular show because it's that funny i know

believe me there's been a lot of um frustration with um the what's it called the people that are in the position to make more happen yeah um and we've We finally found a way to make more I think that's as much as I can say it's been a journey but we do have because we just had such a great idea for how to bring the thing to a close and there was just like so much left to do and I'm very excited and I will you guys will be the first to know when I'm allowed to actually say what it is I like that and Hawk will be like what like 85 years old in this last season it it'll be great. He will be very old.
Yes. He is definitely older than Xander at this point.
Yeah. I don't want to give too much away, but Hawks' story is a big part of where we're going with it.

Hell yes.

I can't wait.

That's going to be awesome.

What's next for you?

Have you reached a point where you're getting superhero Marvel movie calls?

Are you going to be a big action star next?

I'm still waiting on my superhero role.

I think I just want an excuse to get in really good shape. and realistically

if I don't book

like an action

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I'm still waiting on my superhero role. I think I just want an excuse to get in really good shape.

And realistically, if I don't book an action or superhero role,

I'm not going to be that disciplined.

I'll exhibit some discipline, but I'm not going to go all the way

unless I really need to.

So I'm just waiting on my call to be in some type of superhero universe. That's all I want.
Would you rather be in Thor 9 or would you rather be in Fast and Furious 14? Whoa. Honestly, just because I feel likeris hensworth is such a perfect door

that anyone who comes after him is just going to get endlessly shit on i'd go fast 14 i think you'd be good in fast and furious they could get you in good shape for that too and i think in fast and furious you get more uh you get more of these moments yeah that good. When you turn dramatically and the camera slides in and you say some shit like, Daddy's got to go to work.
You know? I think you just nailed the audition. I just want my dramatic turn moments, you know, where you just turn over your shoulder and just say some corny shit.
Yeah, that would be good. Are you willing to get on the gear for one of these roles? Because that kind of is the secret of Hollywood.
You just get on a shitload of steroids? Oh, I don't know, man. I don't know.
That's a bad answer, Jimmy. I mean, the guys are, execs are watching, you know, the execs of all these major, you know, production companies.
They all are AWLs. They're like, oh, so Jimmy Tatro won't get fat.
He won't do steroids. This guy won't do anything.
Okay. All right.
I'll do it. Okay, good, good.
I'll do it. Maybe share some with us.
Yeah, I'll do it, and I'll let you guys guys i'll slip some under the table we'll all just be on our on our 10th podcast together just all looking fucking massive jacked up as hell yeah we'll have the instagram like uh ads and be like 10 tricks that jimmy tatro used to be in fast and furious 14 and it's like all these ridiculous workouts and really the it's, well, yeah, he got on steroids. Yeah.
It's like the nine of them are things that have nothing to do with actually getting jacked. Just like every, like all these routine podcast guys that are like steps to success, up cold plunge fucking journal affirmations do

5 000 push-ups and i'm like at which point are you making money you're not doing anything you

haven't said one thing that it brings in any kind of income they're just like write down my goals

talk to my wife that's what it'll be it'll be just affirmations journaling cold plunge

Thank you. write down my goals talk to my wife that's what it'll be it'll be just affirmations journaling cold plunge cold brew steroids and then five other things that don't matter yeah the best is is mark walberg's secret for getting in shape well besides like waking up at 2 30 in the morning every day or whatever when he plays golf he sprints fromints from shot to shot.
So, yeah, he plays speed golf. Like, he'll hit a shot, and then he'll run up to his next shot and then hit that one.
He might be lying. The more I'm thinking about it, this might just be a big lie.
And he also has somebody else drive his clubs around for him. So he's not even carrying his own bag.
He's just out there hitting shots and running up to his next one. Can you imagine how much it would suck to play with him?

Yeah.

Yeah, that would be bad.

Well, that would be fast.

Yeah, there he goes.

Yeah.

Golf is, like, meant to be a game that you get away and, like, relax. And he's just, how fast can I do this?

Sprinting.

He's like, steps are getting in shape.

Sprint on the holes. Wear municipal clothing.
That's pretty much it. And gloves are working out.
Yeah. All right.
Well, Jimmy, this has been awesome. All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars.
One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's. Only one Reese's peanut butter lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter.
And only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and three grams of sugar. One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick me up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout one also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake maple glazed donut and blueberry cobbler find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com uh okay the machine out this weekend uh what what is like are you gonna go see it? Do you see movies that you're in? Do you watch the movie you're in? Yeah, I watch them.
A lot of people, a lot of actors don't. Like, a lot of people are uncomfortable, like, going and seeing their thing.
I think it's helpful. Like, I see a lot of, like, when I go and watch stuff, I learn a lot about myself and my own performance.
And I also just enjoy seeing it with a, with a group of people and kind of feeling the reaction. But like you can, you know, when you watch your movie or you're in theater with people, you can kind of like, you know, you can see things in your performance where you go, I'm not going to, not going to do that worked.
Almost like watching game film. Yeah, yeah.
That's got to be a weird out-of-body experience. Will you actually go to a movie theater? That would be crazy.
That's, honestly, when you're at a premiere and you're expecting to see it, it's more like, oh, this is what we're doing here. It when you're like in a movie and then you see a trailer for your movie beforehand and you're there to see something else and all of a sudden your face is on the screen you're like like i was on a plane one time and someone was watching 22 jump street like two seats in front of me like right there and it was the scene where i'm like running into a, into a field goalpost.
And I was so tempted to just tap him and be like, Nailed that one. Watch it.
You're watching a movie, you're watching a guy and then you sit a cap on his shoulder and you turn it and it's that guy. It's like do behind the scenes dvd commentary for yes the entire time that he's watching it yes what movie what movie that you've been in has been the best movie to watch and what movie has been the worst um what movie has been the worst um the movie that's been the best was honestly this this movie was well 22 jump street is probably my favorite movie that i've been in that i that like to watch like i would recommend watching 22 jump street um objectively this movie i was like very pleasantly surprised at how much i enjoyed it like i knew it was going to be funny.
It was really funny on paper. But it's so big.
It's a really big, fun action comedy. I want to see more movies like this.
I'm excited for everyone to see it. I'm excited for you guys to see it.
I think you'll really enjoy it. I like yeah i said to bird it's better than i thought it was gonna be that's so mean that's like when people say see me in public and they're like oh you're not as fat as i thought you were no you're actually you're you're just dad jacked yeah yeah i do have a pose that i can like pop some muscles it's just when i do it like i need to sit down and uh take a breather for like 10 minutes after but i got it i have it i can flex it the um the director of this movie is named peter atencio he like really took the script was great like the way they turned the story into a movie um the writer kevin beagle did a really good job of that but um what peter was able to do um like he just really elevated the whole thing to like a level that wasn't really it didn't feel this big on the page and then you see it you're like oh fuck he made this like a it feels like a huge like a massive like a superhero movie almost i like it i'm excited to watch it and um want to say, like, I can tell by our conversation that you actually think the Lakers are going to come back.
I'm going to tell you right now they are not. So let me be the first to just let you down as easy as possible.
It's over. You might win a game.
It's over. I don't know.
You know? I just – I don't know. Yeah.
There's no way to know for sure. All we know right now, at the point that this has come out, is that the Lakers have begun their comeback.
It's currently 1-3, and we don't know what's going to happen after this. You know, but things are looking good based on their last game.
I really like it. This is going to be great.
A nice sweep. You know the Nuggets have never had a sweep in the history of their franchise.
So, at least you're part of history. They've never been swept a team in the history of their franchise.
Wow. So, history.
Have they ever been in the conference finals? They have, yeah. It's interesting you brought that up because it was in the bubble, which we also agreed didn't happen.
Yeah. So you memory hold it.

That's another thing that we've always disagreed on.

Aren't these the same four teams that were in the bubble?

Yes.

Yeah.

So this one counts.

The bubble didn't.

But so have you come off of your stance on the bubble not counting?

No, no, no, no.

Because when the Nuggets win the series,

it just proves that this is the team that would have won in the bubble if there had been fans in the bubble. Yeah.
Okay. And then in the Eastern Conference, we can flip it.
The Eastern Conference just further proves the Heat were the better team, even though the bubble didn't count. Yep.
Yep. Yep.
You see what we did. Yeah.
So if that works for you guys, you know, you roll with it. But like I said, you know, right now I said, it's one in three and, you know, we'll see what happens in game six.
I can't wait for this sweep to happen. And you just, Oh man, we're going to flip this.
You're just going to put that clip? Yep. It's going to be, look what a great actor Jimmy Tatro is.
He convinced himself to believe that the Legos had a chance. Or is Jimmy Tatro losing his mind and just not accepting reality? Yeah.
We have multiple ways to spin this. We're going to have a whole section of clips.
Just choose your own adventure. Jimmy Tatro has lost reality.
All right, man. Well, thank you as always.
We love having you on. We love that you're part of this show.
And hopefully we see you soon. Yeah, I'd love to see you guys soon.
All right, man. We'll let you know next time we're in California.
Hell yeah. Oh, no.
We'll see you soon yeah i'd love to see you guys soon all right man we'll let you know next time we're in california hell yeah we gotta see oh oh no we'll see you when the real bros news comes out yeah and we want a cameo you guys you guys can have your cameo i actually have you guys in another script that i wrote so we'll talk more about that i I'll be in New York in July. So I'll be sure.
We're moving to Chicago. So then you'll come see us in Chicago.
You just take a flight from New York to Chicago. You're moving to Chicago? Yeah, we're opening a big warehouse.
You'll have to come and show us your skills because we have a whole basketball court. Oh, perfect.
Love it. Yes, yes.
Maybe we'll do like a bubble championship there. Well, we all know who's going to win.
Yeah, Mark Titus, who is going to be moving to Chicago as well and play to Ohio State. So that will be perfect.
We'll see. All right, we want the cameos, though.
I want to be in real bros. Even if I'm just, like, a dude at the skate park,

and you just, like, have to freeze it and be like,

wait, was that PFT and Big Cat?

That would make my world.

Okay.

It's doable.

It's doable.

Okay, love it.

Amazing.

Thank you, Jimmy.

You're the best.

See you, Jimmy.

Bye.

As we progress through the season, every fan knows that big wins are hard to come by

and tough losses are even harder to accept. But you know what isn't hard to accept? Discover.
Believe it or not, Discover is accepted at 99% of places that take credit cards nationwide. You heard that right.
99%. So make a good call for your wallet and get Discover.
Based on the February 2024 Nielsen Report, learn more at discover.com slash credit card. And now here's Daniel Ricciardo.
And now for something completely different. Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest, recurring guest, third time on, is Daniel Ricciardo.
We're here in Miami, F1. First of all, great to meet you in person.
We interviewed your teammates. They were saying that you've been lifting a lot and your arms look jacked.
Can I see real quick? Yeah. You look pretty jacked.
You look pretty good. Yeah, I look good.
You only do the biceps? Yeah. Yeah, just every morning before breakfast.
Just pump out 10 kills. Yeah.
So the big question, I know this has nothing to do with racing, but you went to the Met Gala, and we still don't know what happens at the Met Gala. Can you tell us what happens in the Met Gala? Because, like, every year we see all these famous people dress up, then they go into this building and we don't hear anything else.

So can you tell us what happens in the Met Gala?

Yeah, it's like this pretty dark basement down there.

Well, firstly, good to see he's in the flesh.

This is real.

It's cool.

He's beautiful as well in person.

Thank you.

Appreciate that.

You didn't say anything about our arms. He's a huge uh pft i think he dodged the met gala question because something happened i got you i got you big cap all right so it's um no it's kind of cool because well i think that's why it's kind of nice is there's no like media in there you're not allowed to take photos and stuff and like you're not bringing a plus one.
So you're kind of forced to like mingle and just talk to people that, especially in my world, like there's not many people in there that I know I've come across before. So I really enjoyed like kind of just making new friends, so to speak.
So that was fun. So what happens? You kind of, everyone's kind of standing, cocktails and you go in, sit down at your table.
People are still kind of standing, moving around. It's not very formal.
Like, it feels formal, but it's not. Yeah.
And that's kind of nice. Like, everyone's kind of just there, like, moving table to table, seeing friends, people they know.
It's just like a big kind of conversation. Then, I'm trying to make this fast.
Then, like, they'll have a performer go on. So Lizzo went on.
She was awesome. Okay.
people are dancing yeah they're kind of like they're at the table yeah yeah exactly okay so it's a big wedding for rich famous people yeah i saw anne hathaway came over introduced herself she's a massive fan of yours yeah that's pretty cool who's the who's the coolest person that you met there that that, that moment was pretty, um, it was pretty funny because, well, it was cool for sure. And funny.
Cause I was like looking at her waiting cause she was up next to like, kind of do the photo thing. And then I was, I was like, I guess I go up next.
So she was there and then she kind of looks, she's like, Oh, Daniel Ricciardo. And I was like, Oh, I don't have to wait.
Yeah. And then I was, I was probably, I would have loved to see my face.
I was probably just like this. Yeah.
But yeah, I was kind of, I think for me, especially going there first time, I'm like, yeah, no one's going to know who I am. Right.
And then like for her to kind of call me out, I was like, oh, this is really unexpected. So she was sweet.
So has it been weird, like having Drive to Survive, the success of the show show like have you noticed that people recognize you so much more in america now and like you're a celebrity in america because i'd imagine before the show you were a lot more anonymous when you came to the states right yeah like very anonymous and now it's yeah that's yeah pretty much and it's funny i find new york is actually a place i'd probably get recognized most like around the world and maybe it's because it's fairly international i don't know but yeah new york is is a place where i get noticed a lot and yeah even there like at the at the gala yeah like there's like people who even if they didn't know me they're like oh yeah like i know who you are kind of yeah thanks yeah you know my name yeah did anybody ask you to do a shooey um that's actually a great question great question so i did no because i feel like i did oh i was um i saw trevor noah and i was actually he was really nice to me he was like show me the ropes so we hung out quite a bit that night and i did a shooey with him on his show the last time i was there so that's why I knew there was like some Shoei relation yeah shout out Trevor yeah shout out Trevor yeah I mean it's it's been cool to see F1 grow here in the United States and I saw I saw an interview that you did last week where you said that you've you've been humbled recently whereas I think you said before you were a selfish driver or whatever don't you have to be selfish to be a driver is that't that kind of like a trademark of like you, if you're not selfish when you're trying to be the fastest person on the track, then what are you doing out there? Right? Yes. True.
Not wrong. I think it's, um, and it's kind of not to take, I mean, there's still that selfish part or element that you need.
Like absolutely. Like you can't, you can't't race fully selfless yeah um you just won't you won't take those it's kind of take the edge away you can't like weigh people okay yeah yeah yeah you bought me dinner last night yeah sure yeah like it's you can't be like that so i think yeah the the humbled thing was like the last couple years were a bit more of a struggle for me for sure and And it was, you know, you go through your whole career like I'm the best, I'm the best and I'm invincible and this and that.
And yeah, there's obviously moments where you aren't. And I think, you know, I probably had more of those moments the last couple of years.
So that's where I was like, OK, it was more just sort of awareness as well to know that, yeah, OK, there's things I need to work on. And if I do want to truly be call it invincible, then these are my weaknesses and that's what I have to address yeah so in that interview too you talked about maybe not a regret but like maybe it was a mistake to leave Red Bull how how is that like the last few years when you left and then coming back it's you know it's been a journey and it's been weird to you know watch the the different teams and stuff so are are you like mad at yourself or are you just like, Hey, this is a learning process is what is what happens in sports? Yeah.
Not mad at myself. You know, I think I'm kind of at that.
Um, yeah, kind of that point as well, where I see things, I feel like everything happens for a reason. And I feel like these, these last few years all made me, you know, and it wasn't all bad.
Like there was some good moments. Don't get me wrong, but yeah, it's kind of like, it made me see things with a different kind of perspective.
It made me mature, made me appreciate things in a different way. So now going back like full circle to Red Bull, and even though I'm not in a, in a race seat at the moment, it's, it's like, oh, like, yeah, this is, this is the family.
Like, this is where, you know, I, I'm happy to come home to and where I feel like I truly belong. And, you know, it's, yeah, it's like, so I don't, I don't regret it because at that time I really felt like I needed to see something else.
And it's like, you know, you think, yeah, grass is always greener. And of course you're young and you're hungry and you want to just go and try and take every opportunity in front of you.
But, uh, but now where I'm at, I'm like, yeah, I'm so happy to be back. It's a cool story.
I mean, it's, I think everyone has those moments in life where they, you know, take a risk, do something different and they're like, Oh, maybe this was better. So right now you're, you're the third driver.
What does that look like day to day, week to week? Like what is, are you doing the same prep as them them are you like doing the same schedule as them yeah so I'm I'm like preparing all their meals in the hope that one of them is slightly tarnished but I mean actually no like I am enjoying this like little bit of time off for now and yes the hunger's still there but I'm like I'm okay with where the year's at and having. And yes, watching the races, I do feel a bit like antsy and the adrenaline gets spiked, but I'm, yeah, kind of just happy being, let's say patient.
But yeah, I'm doing like all like the meetings and that, and I'm doing simulator when I'm back in the UK with the team. So like staying sharp enough, but still giving myself some time off to, yeah, just kind of reset myself.
You got to realize like we are the biggest backup quarterback fans in the world like we think that is the dream job in any in any sport like all sports being the backup quarterback so like maybe stupid because you obviously are more competitive than we are and like you have the inner drive but seems like a sweet gig like I'd take that gig it is. Obviously, you're doing more than hang out.
But backup court, like, we have Chase Daniel, a backup quarterback in America. He's thrown, like, I don't know, maybe, like, 200 passes.
And he's made, like, $50 million. In, like, 15 years.
Yeah, pretty good job. Nice gig.
Yeah. Yeah.
So, it might be, you know. It's a Daniel fit.
I know you want to get back in there. I know you want to get back in there and I want to see you back in there, but it seems like it might not be the worst year possible.
Absolutely. Like I, when I, when it was like, I knew kind of deep down that I needed this year off and I needed just to like step away from the sport a little bit.
Um, you know, moments last year, I was like, I can't kind of keep going through this and that and um yeah like so it was very risky in terms of a lot of people's eyes like if you remove yourself from the sport then you'll never come back like it's such a risk not many drivers have kind of had a sabbatical or whatever and come back but i knew that it was like just for me the best thing and i already feel like kind of like lighter fresher i feel like re-energized I'm I don't know and I think as well you never I would never would have given myself this perspective to see kind of from this angle with this time so I know like if I get back in the car I'm like oh yeah like why was I doing it that way like I would do this and even just like maybe it's the people people around me. Yep.
Do that to cut these things out, focus on this area. So like just with the way the season is, you just don't get the luxury of time to really have that evaluation.
Yeah. Yeah.
So deep down inside, you probably, you still feel like you're the best driver in the world, right? There is, there is certainly a very big part of me, which still feels that, but I know that like i'm kind of holding myself and this is maybe like to keep that fire there is like i still want to prove that to myself like i believe it but i want to go out there and like prove it again to myself so i'm not going to go and like blow my horn and make too much noise for now but uh yeah i i feel i feel there's certainly an element you tell us when you want us to start blowing your horn we'll be ready to go so like you you tell us like hey like maybe end of the year being like yeah go time let's get the pr machine going we'll be all over that yeah it's kind of like uh you're you're a bills fan stefan diggs he stayed on the field at the afc championship game to watch the celebration so that he would have that feeling inside him like

I want to get better I want to remember this feeling so that I want even more to like work harder in the offseason overcome everything every time you see somebody on the podium that's on your team that's not you you're probably thinking like yeah that's gonna be me that's gonna be me one day yeah it's honestly that like what you said there is very very accurate like a Like a lot of us, I think, think like that. And yeah, you kind of want to put yourself in a in a bit of like a painful situation.
Yeah. Yeah.
Give you that drive. And actually, I met Steph at the gala as well.
And he was cool. We chatted a bit.
And I think he's coming to the race this week. Oh, nice.
Yeah. So you went to a Bills game this year, right?

Yeah.

Which game did you go to? But I still haven't been to Buffalo. Okay, so you went to which game? I went to MetLife.
Oh, that was a bad game. Yeah, I know.
That was a really bad game. Yeah.

Give him a call. Will he pick up? On my phone.
Yeah, with it. He'll pick up for me.

You can actually ask him that. Be like, when are you going to pay the guys the $15 million? Should we see if he picks up? Yeah.
Do you have the phone? Should we see if Josh picks up? Yeah. And if he doesn't, he'll probably pick up for me.

Like where it's just like, what is he doing? Oh, it worked out.
It's like a spin move into a hurdle, into a jump, into a lateral pass. Into a throw, yeah.
All at once, yeah. It's electrifying to watch.
Smashing all the buttons. So you've got to get to Buffalo.
Yes. So that's, and especially the beauty of this year and having now this time off is I'm like, I've got bucket lists that I'm ticking off.
And that is one thing. I'm like, if I don't get to Buffalo this year, because if I'm on the grid again next year, I could be, it could be five more years down the track.
Yeah. I don't want to wait that long.
So we'll go with you. Yeah.
You're going to go with you. Yes.
Because I remember you guys, i go we're going together yes we're gonna get pinto ronda to squirt we'll squirt ketchup on him and everything i don't know if you ever seen that but the whole video the bills mafia yeah wait what the delegate's incredible pinto ron is a guy a bills fan he before every game he gets a uh two hamburger buns stands underneath a van and then And like we've done it before, like five people just squirt ketchup and mustard all over him. It's the fun.
Yeah. How have I not seen this? He gets covered.
It's incredible. We got to do that with Pinto.
And so we would be the. Yeah, yeah.
We squirt it all over. Okay.
Yeah. And they have this station where you take bowling balls and you fill the bowling balls with liquor, and then you take a shot out of the bowling ball.
I think that's how COVID COVID started. Out of like the finger holes.
Yeah, yeah. It's kind of gross, kind of awesome.
Yeah, it is. People think it was Wuhan.
It was actually Buffalo. Okay.
All right, so we have a present for you. I know you got to run because you got a busy schedule.
I know. I wish I could talk longer.
So you were nice enough. You did send us a party shirt.
It was, I'm not going to lie. It was not, it was like a, it was like a cocktail hour.
It was a bad party shirt. It was the one you didn't want to have it.
So I got, I went down to the mall downstairs. Yeah, we should do party shirts.
Ooh, that's your party shirt. That's actually, I think this is a pretty sick party shirt.
Yeah, it is interesting. Interesting.
Is this, I feel like this is a long sleeve number. It is.
Yeah. Do you prefer short sleeve? I don't know.
Is it a party shirt? If it's a long sleeve, you tear the sleeves off. Yeah.
You could tear the sleeves off. Is this a part? Am I wearing a party shirt right now? It's no, because it's not, you don't have buttons all the way down.
Oh, that's more of like, you're going golf in that shirt. Yeah.
Okay. Yeah.
All right. I love the, what are they called again? Are they?icans? Flamingos? Flamingos.
Pelicans. You didn't know what flamingos were called? You're so Australian.
You're probably like, what is that? Is it a pink spider? Does it kill you? No, it's not Australian. Everything's a spider to you.
I feel like this is something I'll wear at a wedding. Oh, that's a good party shirt, though.
Yeah, it's a good party shirt, though. There's a lot going on.
Yeah, it's better than the party shirt you gave us. I would say we both need to do some work yeah i think i think you went to kohl's and you bought like a 15 shirt off the rack yeah it was like urban outfitters i'm gonna give you guys a real swanky real obnoxious nice one okay okay i like and i know i've said that before but i really need to live up to my word now all right so josh owes us 15 million you owe us owe us a party shirt.
One of you could swap, too. Josh could give us the party shirt.
You could give us $15 million. That's fine.
You guys settle it between the two of you. Most important, sorry.
When are we going to Buffalo? Do we know the schedule? What's going on? They release schedule next week. Yeah, they did the schedule release last week.
I really look forward to this. Wings, everything.
We'll do it all. And what alcohol are you drinking out of the bowling bowl? I think they do like, it's like a cherry liquor.
They pour it for you. Oh.
So it's a whole station. I don't think you can make demands.
You just drink what they put in there. And like we're, Buffalo, we love Buffalo to the point like, we've actually made the joke.
Did you watch the Pablo Esc the pablo escobar show on netflix maybe not the subtitles one yeah yeah either way he like when when all hell broke loose and he's like i'm going back to like home and like everyone will protect me there we've always made the joke if like shit hits the fan we'll just move to buffalo and like the people of buffalo will protect us from everyone else that's that's buffalo so we're gonna do earth people. So we're going to do it.
I love it. All right.
Well, good luck rest of the season. Thank you.
You let us know when we need to hit the button. We're going to hit the Daniel Ricciardo button.
Yeah. He's back and he's going to win them all.
So sign him. You just let us know and we're on it.
All right. I'm going to be even more jacked by that point.
Hell yeah. Get strong as shit.
Can you get too jacked for a race car though?

Probably.

Yeah.

But I'm not there yet.

I'm still pretty lame.

You got some room.

All right.

Well, thank you so much, man.

Great to see you in person.

Likewise.

Thanks, man.

You're even more beautiful.

Thanks.

Thanks, man.

Hey, it's Rhea from Trix in the Office.

It's officially mini skort season and Abercrombie has the ones to go out in.

Their scarlet mini is a classic.

It's one of those skirts that fits the outfit vibe for any plans.

And I'm excited to style their new Sienna skort.

It's a little more flirty and it's perfect for date night.

Make plans to go out in Abercrombie.

Shop their newest arrivals in store and online.

Okay, let's wrap up with some FAQs. Hank? Yo.
Hey, Dad Cat, tall PFT and no golfing Hank. False.
My question... We're taping this, by the way, before the Celtics heat game for...
False. So, the Celtics won.
Celtics won. Easy.
Game of your 20s. Game of the decade.
Easy. It's my game of my 20s.
Which decade? My 20s. Okay.
Which only has less than three weeks left? Three weeks? Less than a week. Or no, less than three weeks.
You don't know when your birthday is. Moving? No, but like, you know, moving sometimes it gets the memories going.
You get in like a weird, weird kind of like. Yeah, you think your birthday's in May.

It's actually in June.

Nostalgic. And I've just been like, damn, I'm almost in my 30s.
And then I realized I had never loved a bet as much as I loved the Celtics tonight. So shout out to everyone that rode with me.
Yeah. Hank, I'm rooting for you.
You want to know why? Because I think it'd be much, much funnier if you lost the golf bet after going down 3-1 than if you just got totally swept. Yeah, I mean, I think if you lose your minus sign maniac parlay, I don't even know what you should have to do.
I like that name for it. It's an investment, Hank.
I'm getting 11% back return. You've been hanging out with Billy too much.
It's insane. No.
There's nothing. Think about it.
That is nothing. I'm riding with Jake.
I put $10,000 on the Panthers to close it out on the P's.

Go P's.

Love the P's.

And parlayed that with the Heat, closing it out at some point against the Celtics.

As long as they win the series.

Both, they're going to win.

They're going to win.

If they don't, you've got to run back the soul patch.

Maybe even cut the hair.

Whoa.

Yeah.

And that's too much because $10,000 and losing the hair. Yeah.
Maybe I could sell the hair for $10,000 to a rich cancer patient. My question with being on the internet is your career.
Which piece of content has been the hardest to explain to your family, friends, and loved ones? Saw a video of Big Cat kissing a dude in the lips and can only imagine that conversation with the in-laws. Thanks.
Yeah. I have a few, but.
Yeah, there's. Pissing my pants.
There's a bunch to choose from. Pissing my pants.
Definitely up there. My wife isn't a huge fan whenever I take off my shirt.
That's just kind of just not a huge fan of me taking off my shirt on camera. Does she like try to avoid it, but then still see stuff? No, she's just like? I told you I don't love it when you take off your shirt.
And I'm like, well, I told you this is my job. She's like, fair.
So that kind of ends up. She's probably just like, I don't want you putting the goods out there for other people.
So that's just for me. Yeah.
It's, it is a beacon for women to start, you know, flocking towards me whenever they see my large nipples. Yeah.
I would say, uh, probably the time I and dark i ate horse shit on camera that was that was a tough one to explain away no i'm doing this i'm doing this satirically this was uh this is a bit i was eating horse shit as a joke yeah but i kind of had to do it when you when you explain to somebody the reason why you ate horse shit was so the capitals could win the stanley cup and then it happened then it takes a little bit of sting out of it that that visual is still going to be out there for the most part i would say family is very very supportive because you can't do this job without that um but i have like uncles like in-laws like you're at you're at thanksgiving is there ever like hey like i saw it like the i saw you piss your pants like what was that about yeah they kind of just expected at this this point. I would say there's definitely a part of me that knows that I've talked about safe drug use.
And that will make it a little difficult when I have that conversation with my children. Because they'll be like, don't do drugs.
They'll be like, well, what about the time you said that you like to do mushrooms and coke and weed and all this? Like, that was old me. It was a it was a bit don't worry about it it was a deep fake yeah maybe I'll just like fake an injury and be like yeah all those drugs that's why your dad can't walk the thing is I'm pretty sure that if we're talking parents our parents laugh at the stupid stuff you guys like my parents would laugh at the stupid stuff you guys did on camera your parents probably wouldn't like watching watching the stupid stuff, but they'll laugh at the stuff that we did.
That was just as bad. It's just like seeing your own flesh and blood do it.
They're very supportive. Oh yeah.
My, my direct family super supportive. When I got arrested, that was like a every family party for a few years was like, do you got arrested? Like, yeah.
Like what was that about? It's like, uh, yeah, the MDMA suspension, the MDMA thing was tough to explain. I had a hard time with that one.
Yeah, the drugs, that's what I'm saying. It's just, listen, you really can't do this job unless you have a great support system and I think my support system.
Mine was eating the hot dogs with no hands. Oh.
Yeah, that's why Billy didn't do it. He didn't want his dad to call him gay.
Yeah, you had to go deep into it saying, you know, I had eight minutes to make my target score easier. There's a lot of explaining to do there.
Oh, since Jake talked there, the Ray Allen tweet definitely. I got hit up a few times about that.
Ray Allen tweet. My mother has never been more upset with anyone other than you.
Did she blame me for that? Oh, yeah. That's okay.
I'll take that. I'll take that.
Yeah, the Ray Allen tweet did not go great.

I'll say that.

My mom doesn't usually text me.

When she does, it's usually like she'll send it in the context.

It's like, yeah.

Yeah, that's not great.

Yeah.

When I said a couple weeks ago that I was going to have a baby after Hank won the lottery ball,

I got a couple texts from people that I usually don't get texts from

asking me what was going on with that. was that was difficult yeah it's tough to explain yeah i will have a kid yeah there's a hard and fast no tattoos and no motorcycles rule in my family good thing you've never gotten a tattoo i got one on the bottom of my foot oh yeah yeah and then you called me and said you have to reimburse me i was like what if i can't If I can't get this off.
Why no tattoos? It's just a thing. I don't know.
I did feel bad for you in that moment. Do you have a cousin that has tattoos and a motorcycle? No, just people have died on motorcycles.
I felt bad for Billy in that moment because he was very mad, but he called me and was like, you have to pay for the tattoo removal. And I was like, I literally had nothing to do with this.
It was like a totally separate piece of content. He just called me and wanted to vent.
But yeah, it rubbed off, right? Yeah. I took a sandpaper and I just rubbed it off.
Because if they... What? No, it was on the bottom of his foot.
If any of them saw that tattoo, I'd be disowned. I don't know.
It's just like one of those things. For having tattoo on the bottom of your foot? It's just, I don't know.
Okay, so... What about you, Hank? Is there anything that you've done on camera that your family's been like, what's going on with this? Yeah, a lot.
I'm trying to... You cut your finger off with a drone.
Cut the finger off with a drone. That actually is when my mom started to turn on Dave.
I don't think she was the biggest fan of Dave early on, especially with how kind of mean he was to me. She didn't like that.
But he took me to the hospital and was looking after me. And my mom, after that, was like, oh, he was super helpful that day.
Here's one that will probably start conversations, but I had a really bad thought when I was going home last night. Intrusive thought.
Intrusive thought. PFT, the Bears and Commanders play week five Thursday night football.
They sure do. We should make it a tattoo bet.
It's the dumbest. It will be the dumbest game ever to have a tattoo bet in.
Why would you say that? Why would you say that out loud for the first time on a hot mic?

This is a conversation that should have happened off the air. We'll table it.

We'll table it. But what happened was I was going home and I was just laughing to myself.
Because tattoo bets reached a peak when fantasy football got big 15 years ago. But to just be like, why do you have that tattoo? It's like, well, the like six and 11 bears lost to the five and 12 Washington commanders a week.

Five. Like, why do you have that tattoo? It's like, well, the like 6-11 Bears lost to the 5-12 Washington Commanders a week 5 2023 season.
The dumbest reason to get a tattoo. We'll table it.
I'm in. Okay, I'm in too.
I'm in. We should also make shirts for it going into it.
Like the inaugural PMT will have a pissed off major tutty like facing off against a giant bear.

Yes.

That'd be sick.

Yes.

Tattoo bet for week five Thursday night football.

Yeah.

It just means more.

I mean, it's pretty good.

I don't want to rain on your guys parade, but I'll say this question.

I'll call it foreshadowing for that tattoo bet.

Oh, hey, big cat PFT, Mr. Titletown and Hank's dad, Jake.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH closer to doing the draft. I have to admit, I miss playing fantasy baseball.
I'm a little bit bitter that the league hasn't started yet. We're going to start it.
I should be knuckles deep in fantasy baseball right now. We're going to start it within the next four months.
If it doesn't start by the All-Star break, I'm starting my own league. So we had the idea, and people can tell us, sound off in the comments, let us know.
Week of July 4th, we will have a new Dungeons & Dragons episode.

Would people be upset if we just had an entire podcast

that was just us doing our draft?

Sound off in the comments, because I think that's what we should do.

All-star break.

Worst of.

Just literally have, let's be like, all right, with the first pick,

I'm taking this, Mike Trout, and then like, all right, PFTft you're up yeah no visuals yeah we should we should do it with no reminders whatsoever of which players have been drafted yeah and just see if we can fill out a fancy roster just by naming current players it would be one of the worst episodes we've ever done but i kind of i kind of like the idea sound off in the comments sound off in the comments because that would be a horrible oh terrible but it would get good because it's so bad. And I think it's like if you're in a spot, you know, God willing, you're just getting shit face having a great time for the job of the week.
If you're sitting in an office somewhere like, yeah, why not just listen to a baseball draft? Yeah, exactly. It'd just be us saying names for two hours.
Correct. Probably longer, actually.
Sup, fellas. How did Brooks Koepka get into the bleak of the year running?

Oh, good question.

So the first time we interviewed Brooks, it was right before he played at Bethpage, right?

Yes.

For the U.S. Open.

Yes.

Which he won.

Yes.

PGA 2019.

PGA 2019.

Thank you, Jake.

Very cool.

2018.

Thank you, Hank.

Even cooler.

Very cool.

Got him.

Owned Jake.

Bethpage 2019.

Oh! Reversal. Wait, who got owned? Who got owned? You might have done it there.
No. It wasn't Shinnecock.
We interviewed him before the- Beth Pidge is 2019. Oh, shit, Hank.
Damn. Oh, my God.
You should get tattooed. Fuck you, Jake.
Sorry. Jake is your daddy.
He's your daddy. He's your daddy.
So, we interviewed Brooks, and we were talking about his mentality for golf, and he was just saying that he kind of blacks out between holes, what, like 8 and 15 he plays, and he was just very chill. And so in the interview, Big Cat and I looked at each other, and Big Cat goes, I think he's a Blake.
I think this guy's a Blake. And so we just started calling him Blake from that point on.
And his name is close enough. And he just has, yeah, he's just a chill dude.
Like the epitome of Blake's Blake Griffin and Blake Bortles are two dudes that are professional athletes and make millions and millions of dollars and are better at their job than like 99.9% of the world. But they're also just regular dudes that are awesome to be around.
Yeah. That's the definition of a Blake.
And Brooks was so chill last night at the Peas game. Yeah.
Just hanging out, just being relaxed like a Blake. Hyper chill.
It was insanely chill. It was Columbian night.
Yeah. Just not blinking.
That's how chilly was. There's actually another foreshadowing question.
This is some crazy FAQs. Oh, no.
Sup, father of 3Cat, PFT, Hank, Billy, Jake, and Max Vick. Have you had any ideas for the show? Oh, my God.
Max Vick. It took me a few seconds there.
Yeah. He's fast.
Yeah, that's right. He's fast.
He's a game changer. Have you had any ideas for the show? And he murders dogs.
That you thought would be awesome? Does not have herpes, though. Do not murder dogs.
But ended up being a complete flop. Wait, say it again.
Have you had any ideas for the show that you thought would be awesome but ended up being a complete flop? Yeah, I'd say our first idea for the show, where we decided that we would play air horns in between segments and limit the interviews to four good minutes. And tape it in the morning.
Yeah, and tape it in the morning. That lasted a week.
We interviewed Chris Long and we didn't ask him a single question. Our Saturday shows were, when we tried to do Saturday Let's Get Weird, that was, we realized, hey, we already talked a lot.
We don't really need to just add a Saturday show. That was a bad idea.
Shout out to Dave Walls that we're going to get him back on. yeah yeah we do have to get him back on but yeah I would say the the first iteration of this show where we decided we were going to tape it like eight in the morning and uh yeah that was stupid that was very stupid of us I will put my hand up and say that I believe it was my idea and I definitely advocated for doing the Blake of the Year lottery ball idea.
Oh, yeah. That was a dumb one.
That was a dumb one. Really bad.
Yeah, that was a really dumb one. I was like, oh, it'll be so long, it will be funny, and it actually was beyond painful.
Encouraging Billy to do his QB bracket every year? I actually love the QB bracket. Yeah, no, that's good.
I love the QB bracket. I wish we could do it every day if you don't love the qb bracket then you should not be listening to the show i love the qb bracket uh yeah i think that's yeah that's probably the majority of them jake what about you say something bad about part of my take what's the worst idea we've ever had i didn't know you guys did saturday morning shows it was like two i was so out out on those.
It was so stupid of us. Because it also, it was back when we were just starting, and it would fuck up our download numbers, too.
Because it would be like. I might have just made that up.
You could have. Yeah, actually, Hank might have made that up just to get us not to do it.
But yeah, that was one where it was like, you know, we don't need to do this four times a week. We talk six to eight hours every single week.
I was like, well, Friday afternoons. I was like, no.
Yeah. Yeah.
That was the seedlings of vacation Hank. I'll say this.
And it's exciting because, you know, as long as we've been doing the show, I feel very similar to how I do in summer 2016, where it's got a fun summer in front of us, and then it's going to be an unbelievable new opportunity, and we're just going to grind. Oh, yeah.
I'm so excited. Like, just the change of scenery, getting into a new studio, new office, like, everything has me pumped up.
I can't wait. New life.
And it's like, but there's still some time. Yeah.
Yeah. Have a nice summer, and then we're going in.
Summer 16, it was a movie. movie It really was Summer 16 hit different Changed every summer It did It did Changed everything Billy's smiling Because he's thinking about Donald Trump Yeah Both of them New world order He's thinking of Donald Trump And Harambe Wrestling Pokemon Go Yeah Is that it? Yeahtery ball numbers.
Where are we, Jake? Do we have someone who's going to build us this machine? I still have to look through the submission. Because I have it envisioned in my head, and it's enormous.
And it's cool. Yeah.
And Hank wants it to come out of the floor. That would be sick.
That would be so sick. He's like, what if we had to come out of the floor? It would be sick.
That would be so sick. There's no way that's happening.
No, but it would be so sick. It would be fucking sick.
He's like, what if we had to come out of the floor? That was like, it would be sick. That would be so sick.
There's no way that's happening. No, but it would be so sick.
But it would be fucking sick. We just had like a trap door in front of the- In Austin Powers, that's what would happen.
Just produces one number. You're talking about like an air pressure machine that goes underneath the floor.
Like as it comes out, smoke billows out. Yeah.
And then it's like bigger than Big Cat. Yeah, we like have like The Undertaker come out pretty much every single episode.
Mm single episode. Yeah.
Also, congratulations to Max Homa, better late than never. Yeah, that was- He got the lottery ball.
But he had gotten it already. Yes, he has.
All right. But he still deserves an applause.
Yeah, he still deserves it. Yeah, yeah.
Good job. Yeah.
That was such a sad round of applause. You guys didn't join me.
Yeah, no. Wow.
He won the lottery ball. If you're not saying the number in this room, I don't count it.
Okay. I count everyone.
I count it all. I got it.
I got it. Wait, that means that Max has beaten Hank.
Yes. He's tied with me.
Max has beaten Hank. He's guessed the lottery ball for three months.
Yeah. But he has.
But he has. Okay.
Numbers. 26.
67. 55.
We'll go 29. Wait, where's Memes? Memes is out this week, so he would guess two.
He guesses one. We'll give him one.
Has he gotten it? He has never gotten it. 20.
What was your guess, Hank? 29. 18.
What was your guess, BFT? 55. It's for winning my game of my decade.
Which he didn't win?

I like that game of my decade.

Not the decade.

It's smart.

It's not your decade.

It's his decade.

Everyone's decade starts...

75.

Everyone's decade starts a different time.

There was no year zero.

75.

Vince Wilford.
