Brooks Koepka Wins The PGA And Calls In, Anders Holm In Studio, Celtics Are Dead And The Nuggets Go Up 3-0

Speaker 1 Hey, pardon my take, listeners. You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.
Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Speaker 2 Man, I'll tell you what, when you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 2 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.
Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 2 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this.
Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 2 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.

Speaker 1 On today's part of my take, we have a awesome, awesome show. Brooks Kepka wins the PGA Championship.
We call him, he is drunk. We're going to talk about the whole thing.

Speaker 1 He was drinking out of the the Wanamaker. Great time.

Speaker 1 The Celtics could be dead. They get obliterated by the heat, down 3-0.
The Lakers are down 3-0. We also have an awesome in-person interview with Anders Holmes.
Really cool discussion with him.

Speaker 1 He's got a new movie out this weekend and talking about workaholics, everything, the comedy scene, everything involved in that. So great, great interview.
Who's back of the week?

Speaker 4 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 4 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 4 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 4 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 let's go.

Speaker 1 Now in the street, there is violence,

Speaker 1 and then a lot of work to be done.

Speaker 1 No place to hang out or washing.

Speaker 1 And then I can't blame all on the sun. Oh no, we gotta ride down to Eli, Trick Iven U.

Speaker 1 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 1 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Elena.

Speaker 1 Welcome to part in my take. Today is Monday, May 22nd.
Hank, heads or tails?

Speaker 1 Tails.

Speaker 1 It's a heads. The Celtics are dead.

Speaker 4 Celtics, tough game tonight, Hank.

Speaker 1 We were going to maybe lead with Brooks. I left it up to a coin for you.

Speaker 4 You didn't really need to ask him to call heads and tails. The heads were going to talk about the Celtics.
Today's we were going to talk about Brooks. But he also got it wrong.
He also got that wrong.

Speaker 4 So, Hank, ever since the Lotto Ball, well, you did win that series against the Sixers, but ever since you avoided the Soul patch, you've had a rough skid here. Down 0-3.
Is game four a must-win?

Speaker 1 Yes. Oh.

Speaker 5 I don't know that

Speaker 5 they're even going to show up, though, to be honest with you.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was shocking. So we had two games we've got to talk about.
Friday night, the Grant Williams game. You were in the building.

Speaker 5 I was in the building. I saw it with my own eyes.

Speaker 1 And so it was the Celtics looked like maybe they were going to win. Grant Williams poked the bear.
He hit a three, and then he poked the bear.

Speaker 1 I love Grant Williams because he does have that confidence, like hits one, three, and he's like, yeah,

Speaker 1 this is my court.

Speaker 4 I'm the guy. Yeah, he talked that shit all the way down the court to Jimmy Butler.
Jay Butt hit him, falls down, gets in Grant Williams' face.

Speaker 4 Grant Williams, they look like they're going to kiss, and I actually think that Grant Williams would have been better off kissing Jimmy Butler than just getting in his face and yelling at him.

Speaker 4 That would have at least thrown him off. Yeah.
And he would have been like, What am I going to do? This guy just kissed me. Instead, he made Jimmy angry.

Speaker 4 And I think everybody watching at home was like, you don't want to make Jimmy angry. We knew it was going to happen after that point.

Speaker 1 And it did. And it did.
And they just basically spent the the rest of

Speaker 1 the regulation going after Grant Williams. Jimmy Butler picked him apart.

Speaker 1 After Grant Williams got into Jimmy Butler's face, the Heat finished the game on a 24-9 run.

Speaker 1 The Heat also, these playoffs, are 6-2

Speaker 1 when trailing by 10-plus. The rest of the NBA is 14-59.
And it's trailing by 10-plus in the playoffs.

Speaker 4 That's crazy to think because it also implies that the Heat go down by 10 points a lot. A lot.

Speaker 4 Like it's pretty frequent that they end up being beaten by 10 points and then they manage to pull it together at the end.

Speaker 4 If I were you, Hank, I would want to fire Missoula right now before game four.

Speaker 1 I don't disagree.

Speaker 5 Get Brad in there.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Counterpoint. This isn't all Missoula's fault.
Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown are all NBA guys, and

Speaker 1 like, what's happening? What's like,

Speaker 1 I think the coach deserves a lot of blame, but you can't have him just be the fall guy when the players are playing like this.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I mean, tonight they shot like seven for 74 from three. You're never going to win games with that type of shooting percentage.

Speaker 1 Is that a Frank the Tank set?

Speaker 5 I think it's pretty close, something like that.

Speaker 4 He's not far off.

Speaker 1 But I didn't even really see

Speaker 5 how much Grant Williams got in his face when I was at the game, but obviously I did notice how they were just basically isolating him, going at him, and scoring on him every single time.

Speaker 5 And Robert Williams had been playing well, and he checked in with like a minute left after it was over, after they just went on this crazy run with Grant Williams in. And that one made no sense to me.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Like that.
No, the coaching's been bad. I agree.
The coaching has been bad, but I'm just saying at some point, it's also the players. Of course.

Speaker 1 And Jalen Brown has not been good at all. Jason Tatum has game two, it felt like he was like, hey, I'm putting the team on my back.
And then that fell apart.

Speaker 3 But yeah.

Speaker 4 I just looked it up.

Speaker 4 The The Celtics are 36 for 92.

Speaker 4 So

Speaker 4 39%. They're shooting 39% tonight.
Okay, that's not bad. It felt like 70 for 70 or 7 for 72.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 You reminded me to throw in the what-if game.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 6 What if Grant Williams never made that 1-3 that made him think he was the best player in the world?

Speaker 1 What would happen, Hank? What would the world look like? Probably 1-1.

Speaker 5 I mean, 2-1 at this point, but yeah, they probably would have had a win.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And so you're pretty down.
And the vibes kind of suck, suck, which are understandable. We do want to talk about Brooks because that was a huge win for us.

Speaker 4 But

Speaker 1 the coin said that we have to talk about the Celtics first.

Speaker 4 There was a timeout that Spolster called. We were watching this live in the gambling cave with Titus, and

Speaker 4 the Heat were up 29 points. The Celtics cut the lead to 29, and Spolster took a timeout to stop the bleeding at that point.
And that's just, that's rubbing it in to Celtics fans.

Speaker 4 Like, this is what a coach does. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 where do you go from here? Because this does feel, you know, no teams ever come back down from 3-0 in the NBA.

Speaker 4 I mean, Boston, I don't think Boston as a city has what it takes to come down from 3-0.

Speaker 1 Do you think, Hank, this is blow-it-up?

Speaker 1 Like, what do you do? Just fire the coach? This is not over. Okay, Jake.

Speaker 1 We actually had some people reply to Hank's, like, this is a disaster tweet on Friday being like, I can't, I'm already pre-mad about Jake saying the series isn't over.

Speaker 1 So, there it is for the folks who are ready for that.

Speaker 4 And the fact that Jake is wearing a Himi shirt right now,

Speaker 6 stored up Barsdalesports.com.

Speaker 1 It was a 30-point game, and we finally got him to say the game was over. Hank, talk to us.

Speaker 1 Where do you go from here?

Speaker 5 You've got to fight. You've got to come back.
You've got to show something.

Speaker 5 Anything.

Speaker 5 You've got to win at least a game, hopefully to.

Speaker 5 If they get blown out in game four, it's.

Speaker 5 Maybe not blow it all up, but it's make some moves. Make some stress.

Speaker 1 Reassess. Reassess.

Speaker 4 I mean, Jake only has to go one and what?

Speaker 4 you have to go one and two, Hank. Or, no, Jake can go one go.

Speaker 6 Hank has to win two games in a row.

Speaker 4 Hank has to win two games in a row.

Speaker 4 Shut the fuck up, Hank.

Speaker 4 Otherwise, Hank's not allowed to golf for a month. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Or he can get out of it with a soul patch. Yep.
He can get out of it. Have you thought about that?

Speaker 4 Would you do a soul patch to not be able to golf?

Speaker 5 Probably not.

Speaker 1 We should also say, because

Speaker 1 the story obviously is, I mean, the Celtics had title aspirations.

Speaker 1 They were in the championship last year, year down 3-0 getting absolutely like killed in game three the heat deserve all the credit in the world they're just fucking good and they play as a team and it's like kind of crazy when we've spent the entire leading up to the postseason then in the postseason like who's really good the heat have now they've they're they're one game away from the nba title and they've lost three total games yeah i'm gonna say right now uh as a nuggets fan i am now afraid of the heat i was looking forward to the heat I was like, give me the Heat in the finals.

Speaker 4 I think the Nuggets could beat the shit out of them because the Nuggets are a superior team. But there's something about the Heat.

Speaker 1 There's just something you can't. They're on fire.

Speaker 4 You can't even put your finger on one thing about them that makes them so good right now. Well, Jimmy.
Jimmy, but Jimmy also didn't dominate tonight like he normally dominates.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I mean, scoring-wise.

Speaker 1 They're all

Speaker 4 like the Heat are just a very good basketball team all around. And if I'm the Nuggets, I don't want to overlook the Heat.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they had the stat. There was a moment in the game where the Heat undrafted players were beating the Celtics overall.

Speaker 1 Because that's just like, they just have guys that are all stepping up and playing within the system. And Heat Culture, I know I declared it dead.

Speaker 1 Probably the dumbest thing I've ever done when they lost to the Raptors. Was it the Raptors? No, the Hawks.
And then almost lost to the Bulls.

Speaker 1 And ever since that moment, I don't think there's been anything stronger in the world than Heat Culture. Yeah.
It is the strongest strain of culture out there.

Speaker 4 More teams should have Heat Culture.

Speaker 1 Yeah, seriously. Go find Heat Culture because it's fucking dominant.

Speaker 4 Hank, I'd like to get a real basketball answer out of you, though. Let's say hypothetically you guys lose game four, so it's a sweep.
Who do the Celtics move on from at that point?

Speaker 1 Missoula. Donned.

Speaker 1 He's already gone, I think, no matter what.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I mean, I don't think, I don't want to move on from Jalen Brown, but I don't know. There's somewhat of a question mark with him.
Like, it feels like maybe he's going to want out.

Speaker 5 I hope he doesn't, but that wouldn't blow my mind.

Speaker 1 It feels weird. Yeah.
It's not like both Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum as players are very good, but together it feels weird. Something feels off.

Speaker 5 Right, and I feel like once the season ended,

Speaker 5 that would come out.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Oh, yeah. There's going to be the athletic is going to write a hell of a post-mortem.

Speaker 1 Eme Udoka fucked everyone's girlfriend. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Bring him back. I don't care how horny he is.
If they had known how bad Joe Missoula was going to be and how bad the season would end, they would not have fired Eme.

Speaker 3 They'd be like, okay, I'm going to look the other way.

Speaker 4 He just fucked one person.

Speaker 1 This is like the scene when

Speaker 1 Tony Soprano gets in the bathroom with Jackie Apriel Jr. He's like, put up your hands, put up a fight.

Speaker 4 Fight like a man.

Speaker 1 That's how I feel with Hank right now.

Speaker 5 This series isn't over.

Speaker 1 We want to pick on him, but he won't even put up a fight.

Speaker 5 The series isn't over.

Speaker 1 He's as doom and gloom as it's possible.

Speaker 4 It's not over.

Speaker 1 Final 128-102.

Speaker 4 There you go.

Speaker 1 Just got to win game four. Yep.

Speaker 5 Then you got Petey DeMarrow.

Speaker 1 Chill in game six. Chill in the bunker.
Game seven, anything can happen. There you go.
If they had Pedro Martinez start his starting point guard, do you think they'd have a better chance?

Speaker 5 Yeah, with those hands. Yeah.
You fucking swan everyone. You get Poppy in the

Speaker 1 pants.

Speaker 4 Have him back down, bam.

Speaker 1 Oh, all right.

Speaker 7 Anything else, Hank?

Speaker 1 No. Okay, I wish Max was here.
Max is flying back. He would have loved tonight.
Yeah, it's really good.

Speaker 1 We should maybe try to call him.

Speaker 4 It'd be very funny, though, if right in A-Rod's face, because he's sitting courtside, Boston did come back from a 3-0 deficit again.

Speaker 1 Listen, crazier things have happened. You can't come back from 3-0 without going down 3-0 first.

Speaker 4 Have crazier things happened? I think this would be the craziest.

Speaker 1 Yeah, in NBA, it would be, right? It's never happened. It's literally never happened in the NBA.

Speaker 4 I guess John Morant with another Instagram gun, that's kind of

Speaker 1 a crazy at all.

Speaker 4 No, I'm saying like two Instagram guns is crazy.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 The second was more like, oh, he's on live again.

Speaker 4 Yeah, the first one was.

Speaker 1 It'd be actually, it'd be crazy if John Morant did like an entire year of Instagram Instagram lives with no guns.

Speaker 4 No guns. By the way, we should say John Morant has now gone, what, a week and a half? Yeah.
Without waving a gun on Instagram Live. Congratulations, Ja.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes. He's cured.
Okay, better news. Brooks Kepka, PGA champion.

Speaker 1 Good job. Good job, all of us.
One of the best

Speaker 1 group teamwork effort by pardon my take as a whole. We had divvied up our entire Sunday.
I was getting negative. Jake was staying positive.
PFT was trying to mush Hovland.

Speaker 1 Hank was after Scotty Scheffler. We just, like Brooks Kepka, that guy is nails.

Speaker 4 He is back. We fought a war on all fronts.
Brooks did his end. Yes.

Speaker 1 He played golf. I guess he did the majority of the work.

Speaker 4 He did a lot of work.

Speaker 4 Max, oh, Max Homa, I think he deleted the tweet. But some, oh, here it is.

Speaker 4 This is from Louis Van Hull. He said, Brooks gets Blake's shout at him, and Max Homa gets spicy meatball and pervert.
This is a conspiracy. And then Max was like, thank you.
Yes.

Speaker 4 Thank you very much for pointing that out. Fair point.
Fair point, Max. But congrats to Blake.

Speaker 4 He was huge when he had to be because for a little bit, it looked like after he made that turn, after the ninth hole, things were a little bit dicey. We didn't know which way it was going to go.

Speaker 4 We didn't know if Hovin was going to pull through. And then the Course came up big when the Course had to, and it ate Hovlin's ball.
Literally.

Speaker 1 The bunker ate Hovlin's ball.

Speaker 4 Shout out the Course. It disappeared.
It disappeared. It got plugged further than anything has ever been plugged before that I've ever seen.

Speaker 4 Harfelt.

Speaker 1 If Brooks, I think Brooks would have won no matter what, but it made it so it was stress-free down the stretch because there was that feeling like right on four or five to start the day.

Speaker 1 I think he had a three-stroke lead, and it was like, oh, this is good. We got this.
And then he had a couple bogeys, and it got back to one.

Speaker 1 And it was some pretty thrilling golf back and forth, especially when Scotty Sheffield made his little late charge.

Speaker 1 But Brooks, the guy is just nailed. So he's a five-time major champion now.
He's won more majors in that stretch than anyone else.

Speaker 1 He also, here's a crazy Brooks Kefka stat.

Speaker 1 He has played in 36 majors. He has been top 10 in 18 of them.
So half of the majors that he's played in, he's been top 10, including five wins. He's been top 25 in 24 of the 36.

Speaker 1 He basically, whenever there's a major, he shows up. He also has 27% of his wins are majors.

Speaker 1 So he just, like, every time, it's crazy. He just, I think he has more.

Speaker 1 Actually,

Speaker 1 that might actually be wrong because

Speaker 1 I think he has five major wins and four tour wins or something like that.

Speaker 4 More majors than more majors than tour.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Well, it's like the nuts. It's almost like the live tour was designed just for Blake Kepka because he doesn't care about the normal PGA events anyways.

Speaker 4 All he wants to do is get paid money to play golf and then show up at the majors, and that's where he really tries to compete. So this is really the best of both worlds.

Speaker 4 Brooks Kepka might be a genius. He gets $100 million to play golf in shorts, do 25% less work.
That's what Billy's really excited about.

Speaker 4 And then just show up for the tournaments that he cares about and dominate. It's crazy.

Speaker 1 He's hacked golf. And it is not to get sappy, but we have a very cool job.
We love our job.

Speaker 1 And these moments where it's like a guy that we root for, a guy that we become friends with, a guy who's become a fabric of this show, to go through the injuries he went through, to have everyone be like, oh, he's done, goes to live tour, to be back on top.

Speaker 1 Like, I was kind of emotional. I was kind of like, this is, and that wasn't just because we all won money on him, but it was very cool to see him get back to the top of the mountain.

Speaker 1 And I don't, so this is probably going to piss off golf fans. And let me just say there's a big, there's a big but here.
So obviously Tiger's the greatest, but, but

Speaker 1 I think Brooks is the closest to Tiger in terms of big lights showing up. Like, like,

Speaker 1 the ice in his veins in these big moments. He's just there.
You know what I mean? Like, I'm not talking about Tiger. Tiger's the best of all time.
Longevity, all the wins, everything.

Speaker 1 He's got whatever, 18 majors, all that.

Speaker 4 That's Jack Nicklaus.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Jack Nicklaus. So, Tiger is, what, 17 or something? 17 or 13.

Speaker 1 Either way. Brooks, though, like, if you're looking for the goal, I think there's been times when it was like Rory.

Speaker 1 And then obviously Scotty Scheffler and John Robin have been incredible the last few years.

Speaker 4 David Duvall for like a year and a half, yeah, like Jordan Speed had his moment.

Speaker 1 But if you're looking for the answer of like, who's the most, who's the guy you can depend on the most in the big moments, it's Brooks Kepka.

Speaker 4 What if Brooks just went nuts and for the next 10 years continued to dominate? Brooks is 10 away from Tiger. Yeah.
I'm just going to say, I'm going to be the first to say it.

Speaker 4 Brooks can catch Tiger Woods' major record.

Speaker 1 I mean, the guy finished second in the Masters.

Speaker 1 That's the thing. It's not a fluke.

Speaker 1 He's back. He's all the way back.
Officially back. And he is like the U.S.
Open. I think would we get him at 20 to 1 today? There's no chance we're getting him at 20 to 1 for the U.S.
Open. No, no.

Speaker 4 In Los Angeles, I believe that's Max's home track.

Speaker 4 Just every course in Southern California, I just say, is Max Max's home track. But yeah, I mean, Brooks, it was awesome seeing him come out Friday.
Thursday, he was a little shaky.

Speaker 4 Friday, he put on a clinic on the back nine. Saturday, he was again.
dominant compared to what other people were shooting. That's the thing.
Like, he finished, what, nine under? Yeah.

Speaker 4 So that's an incredible score for the way that this course was set up with the weather that they had this week.

Speaker 1 They said an 18 handicap would shoot 150 at this course.

Speaker 4 How did they know that? I don't know.

Speaker 1 Someone said that. I just swear.
That's me. Oh, that was you? You said that? No, no.
Oh, I would shoot 150. You're an 18-handicap.
Right around there, yeah. On the windy day, they were saying that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the windy day. I don't know how they fucking know that, but whatever.

Speaker 4 The wind looks shitty.

Speaker 4 Other big story from the PGA championship was Michael Block. Yes.
The PGA club. He was a club pro.
Yes. And he's in Southern California, I believe.

Speaker 4 And he looks like a complete cross between Ryan Rosillo and Blake Bortles. And he dunked a hole in one on the back nine on Sunday.
And that was awesome.

Speaker 1 Which ended up the moment that was. Super significant because he finished tied for 15th, which means he gets to play in the PGA championship again next year.

Speaker 1 Great story. Like one of those, this is a Hollywood story.

Speaker 4 He did cry a lot.

Speaker 1 He was crying a lot.

Speaker 4 Well, Amanda Renner knew what what she was doing in the interview right afterwards because she goes, she goes, look what I have right here. It's a video of

Speaker 4 your home club. And guess what? You know who took this video? It was your son.
And then he started crying. They're like, and guess what? I know your son's sick right now.

Speaker 4 He said that was the best moment of his life. And then he cried more.
And then she goes, and on top of that, guess what? Before you hit the shot, he said, watch this. He's going to make a hole in one.

Speaker 4 Damn. So it was like, it was the perfect golf tears moment.

Speaker 1 and and but that one made sense i was saying like he was crying every day in the post like he cried like every press

Speaker 1 yes he did he's a crier he's a crier he's a dick vermil of golf which i mean i guess you want emotion he was just a great story though it's one of those stories that like you just

Speaker 1 I was actually pissed for a while because they weren't showing him at all because they built him up for three days. And then on the final day, they weren't showing him.

Speaker 1 And it's like, yeah, I want to see Brooks and Hovland, but we don't need to see them like debating with a rules official when we could see a live shot.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and then he forced his way back into coverage by hitting the hole in one, getting the up and down to finish tied 15th. Great dude and a crier.

Speaker 4 Yeah, and he went out Saturday night and he went partying. He went out to some bars that are that are local in the area.
A bunch of people got pictures of him out drinking the night before.

Speaker 4 That just backs up, I think, what a lot of us already know, which is you play golf better when you're hungover. Yes, yes.
He also said you're like, get me the fuck out of the sun.

Speaker 4 I want to get home so you play faster.

Speaker 1 He also said that he had his entire crew had flights for Saturday morning at 10 a.m.

Speaker 4 I love that.

Speaker 1 So he was not expecting to be around the reaction when, yeah, I think he even cried when he when they told him he was playing with Rory the last thing. Yeah.
Guy just cries. He cries.

Speaker 1 It was a very emotional week for Michael Block. But

Speaker 4 he did say afterwards, like, I'm smart enough to know that my life is peaking at this very moment. Yeah.
Nobody ever realizes that while they're in the moment of their life peaking. Yes.

Speaker 4 Because they usually try to ride that wave and they're like, okay, I'm just getting, I'm using this as a launching point.

Speaker 4 He knew in that moment, he's like, that's the best moment of my life right there.

Speaker 1 All-time perspective guy. Yeah.
He had perspective for days.

Speaker 4 And every time I see Amanda Renner on the golf channel or on, what was it, CBS, every time I see her, all I can think about is her saying, and just so you know, it's a four-day tournament, but if you're not in the top half, you get cut on Friday, and then you have to go home and you don't get paid.

Speaker 1 It sucks if Full Swing isn't with Brooks right now. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, we're with Brooks. We have him coming up.

Speaker 4 Liv should do their own full swing. They should.
Where it's just partying, just like DJs, private planes. Yeah,

Speaker 1 there was definitely people were like, oh, the narrative of live golf players not being able to compete. Brooks has proven that wrong.
We also had the greatest hits.

Speaker 1 Branley Chambliss got very upset on set afterwards

Speaker 1 because they were talking about Brooks. I think Brooks has already qualified for the Ryder Cup, which is awesome.
He did it in two tournaments.

Speaker 1 And Branley Chambly was like, yeah, they're playing for their country.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 they had this weird, awkward stare down. So it's good to know that Brooks has everyone pissed off again.

Speaker 4 Brooks is still... He's all the way back.
Brooks is still an American citizen technically.

Speaker 1 I just feel crazy.

Speaker 4 It's a whole swing live tour would just be a public execution

Speaker 4 lining up with a sword. Yeah.

Speaker 1 For anyone, yeah, and Phil Mickelson in just various leather jackets. Yeah.
Oh, I would watch that. Hell yeah.
But no, Phil Mickelson paying off

Speaker 1 the casinos in Vegas.

Speaker 4 Brooks should be. Brooks should be on the Ryder Cup.
I'm going to go one further. Michael Block should be on the Ryder Cup.

Speaker 1 Why not? Why not? Michael Block, yeah. Great, great story.

Speaker 1 Jake, I'm sure you were like all in on the Michael Block story. Yeah, it's really cool.
He's a regular guy. I know he's played in

Speaker 1 majors before, but I mean, to play with Rory, top 15, a hole-in-one playing with Rory. Yeah.
My question is, does his fee go up?

Speaker 1 I think it was $125 for a 45-minute lesson. For a lesson.
Yeah. Yeah.
He's got to, right?

Speaker 4 He bumped that up to $150. He's got it.

Speaker 1 He also sounds like, when he was describing his life, it sounded like the best life ever. He's like, I show up at the course.

Speaker 1 I do some like, you know, different paperwork for an hour, then I go out and do some lessons, then I go back, do a little more paperwork, go out and do some more lessons.

Speaker 1 Then my kids show up at four o'clock and I teach them for a couple hours. He's like, every day ends with my whole family at the golf club.
Yeah, that's amazing. It's like, this guy rules.

Speaker 4 I'm sure that we probably have a lot of club pros that listen to part of my take.

Speaker 4 I'm curious to know what your days look like because from my perspective growing up, the only time I interacted with a club pro was when they were chasing teens off the course. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Just be like, hey, what the hell are you doing here?

Speaker 1 Or fucking the hottest mom.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's probably it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just probably bang some strange and chase kids off the ninth green. Yeah, exactly.
So

Speaker 1 I don't know what else. I mean, it was a great tournament.
It was fun. Brooks in New York, too.
He's won three out of his five majors in the state of New York.

Speaker 4 This is the first time in what,

Speaker 4 two and a half years, probably three years, where Brooks has won not wearing shorts. Yeah.
Who's back of the week? Pants? Pants for Brooks Kepka? Yeah. What's that, Hank?

Speaker 1 You okay, Hank? How does that look? You just think about the Celtics? I took my host back. Oh, no.
Oh, pants? It's going to be shorts. Yeah.
We also had

Speaker 1 Brooks.

Speaker 1 Brooks played.

Speaker 4 Hank sounds so depressed right now.

Speaker 1 It's awesome.

Speaker 1 It's sad. It's sad.
I don't know what's... Because, like, it's actually the saddest place you can be as a sports fan because they're not technically dead.

Speaker 1 So you have to, like, you have to, like, get yourself up off the mat and be like, no, no, no, no, there's still a game to be played.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you're in hospice right now.

Speaker 1 But you know deep down, like, there's nothing.

Speaker 5 And like,

Speaker 5 obviously, not to make it about myself, but, like, I need them to win two games.

Speaker 1 Bad. Soul patch.
Get you out of it. You can play all the golf you want with that sweet soul patch.

Speaker 4 I mean, you saw how fast Max's beard grew back. Maybe yours will grow back that fast.

Speaker 1 Conservatively speaking, how many rounds of golf were you planning on playing in June?

Speaker 1 20? 20?

Speaker 1 Oh, we're going to be doing two-thirds.

Speaker 4 We're going to Austin. We're going to play some golf there.
We're going to go to Nashville. Yeah.
Tight end you. Hank was going to play some golf in Nashville.
A lot of great courses there.

Speaker 3 Fuck.

Speaker 4 Chicago, moving to Chicago later on this week. Some good courses in Illinois.

Speaker 1 Great courses.

Speaker 4 And Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 Damn, I got you in Cog Hill. Someone already hit you up about Cog Hill.

Speaker 4 Oh, Big Cat. Maybe in June, do you want to go to Miami and we can play on Michael Jordan's course? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, cool. Yeah, that would be sick.
And Brooks will come. Yeah.
He actually said that you were watching the game.

Speaker 1 We'll get to Brooks in a minute because we did call in and he called us and he was drinking out of the trophy with his boys. Looked like the most fun ever.

Speaker 1 Last thing about the PGA, PGA, and then we got to talk Nuggets, Lakers.

Speaker 1 I did laugh about Kyle Porter, CBS, had a great tweet. He said, Imagine telling yourself after the,

Speaker 1 I don't know how to say the South Carolina one, Jake, Kiowa.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Kiowa PGA two years ago when the Bryson Brooks video emerged, that two years later, Crushers Captain Bryson DeChambeau would be one of the first to congratulate Smash Captain Brooks Kepka on his fifth major at Oak Hill.

Speaker 1 It's perfect. It is.
It's poetic.

Speaker 4 Although, I still hate Bryson. I I mean, I'll be honest, it doesn't have the same fire that it had a few years ago, but when I'm watching Bryson DeCambeau play golf, I can't help myself.

Speaker 4 I'm just like, look at this fat fuck. Well, yeah.

Speaker 1 Do you know what killed it for me? I mean, I still don't like him as well, but the fact that he got skinny again does kill a little like still fat. I hated his Reuted Bryson.

Speaker 1 That was the peak of Bryson and the videos he would put out and just... So, yeah, the hate has simmered a little bit.

Speaker 4 Well, also, because he's not really a threat to Brooks. Yeah, that's true.
Rivalry's over.

Speaker 4 Bryson's won the PGA championship, but there were no fans around. He basically won the bubble tournament.

Speaker 4 It's like him and the Lakers winning in the bubble. Those didn't count.

Speaker 1 I also did see someone note that Brooks was deliberately walking slower today so that he didn't have to wait long for his shots. Because there was a couple times he would just walk up and just

Speaker 1 hit it right away. It was awesome.

Speaker 3 He was lining up his two footers, too.

Speaker 5 Yeah, that's what he was doing. He was like a gimme putt.
He was giving himself

Speaker 1 a minute just so that he didn't want to get caught with the people in front of him. It wasn't a Hovlin thing.
It was a, he didn't want to be stuck.

Speaker 1 It was basically he learned that he's not going to let any other groups control his pace.

Speaker 1 He'll control himself, so he was walking slow so that he made sure that they never ran up in front of for the golfers in front of him. It's smart.

Speaker 4 That way you're not ever standing over your own shot. You're always doing something.
And then you get up to your ball. You can take your normal approach to it.

Speaker 1 It was actually, it happened when Hovlin had his ball disappear and Brooks was kind of getting iced out. And then the minute he could shoot, he shot right away.
Yeah. It was just ready to go.

Speaker 4 Now, I saw somebody suggest this on Twitter. I think it's a good idea if they did a Ryder Cup, but it was a format where it was live guys against PGA guys.

Speaker 1 Ooh.

Speaker 4 Like, get that rivalry going. Really lean into it.

Speaker 4 If you're the PGA, if you want ratings, if you want to drive, you know, more revenue because you don't want to lose more guys to the Live Tour, come up with this wrestling type shit where it's a rivalry that actually already exists right now.

Speaker 4 But lean lean into it. Have it be like WCW get into a ladder match against all of WWF.
Yes, why not?

Speaker 1 Yeah. This is how we get, this is how golf grows as a game.

Speaker 1 Okay, so we do have Brooks. We call him first, and then we have Andres Holm.
Great interview in studio. Should we talk Lakers nucks? The

Speaker 1 game three on Saturday night, the NBA pulled out all their stops. Scott Foster, who got hit in the face and looked like he had lipstick on for the entire second half of the game,

Speaker 1 They were doing everything they could to make sure the Lakers won that game, including one of the weirdest fouls ever when Jokic got called for his fourth because Anthony Davis' leg hit Jokic's leg.

Speaker 1 But the Nuggets are just too good. They hit every shot.
Jamal Murray was incredible in the first half, and D'Angelo Russell is maybe the worst player ever.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I don't think I've ever done a game of the year.

Speaker 4 I'm going to do a game of

Speaker 4 the year. Okay.
Lakers money line, game four. Okay.

Speaker 4 It's got to happen.

Speaker 1 They've got to have a fight. It's got to happen.

Speaker 4 The NBA will not let LeBron James get swept in this series.

Speaker 1 Do you know that the Nuggets as a franchise have never swept anybody? Anybody. How crazy is that? They've never been to an NBA championship title or finals, and they've never swept anyone.

Speaker 4 I still, I want to say Nugs in six, but I think I'm dialing that back to Nugs and five. I think I was wrong.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 I was right about being wrong about the Nuggets just now, though.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because if the Lakers win game four, then they go back to altitude. LeBron's not going to win.

Speaker 4 He's probably not going to make the trip.

Speaker 1 They also should just play Austin Reeves a lot more and run the offense through him because he's like the only guy who consistently shows up for the Lakers.

Speaker 4 It's puzzling how bad the Lakers have been. I don't want to say they're bad, but how they haven't...
I expected them to step up last night. Yes.

Speaker 4 I expected them to be much, much better at home.

Speaker 4 In front of Jack Nicholson, who, by the way, still looks awesome. Still looks awesome.
Still looks not a day over 30 years old. Might be battling dimension.

Speaker 1 Little Jack Nicholson.

Speaker 4 Yeah, yeah. But yeah, I thought that they would put on a better show at home.

Speaker 1 And especially because Jokic, like, he didn't have his triple-double. He was averaging a triple-double.

Speaker 1 He wasn't even close to it because of the foul trouble. But Jamal Murray just absolutely torched him.
And the Nuggets are just like all around a very good team. Like, they just play great basketball.

Speaker 1 They hit all the big shots. It was crazy to watch that game and just, you knew what was happening in the first half.
You knew that, like,

Speaker 1 I know that it sucks that the NBA has this element to it where you can feel like the refs are clearly trying to extend a series and the Nuggets just were better than the refs.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they were better than the Lakers and they were better than the refs.

Speaker 4 And I've watched every Nuggets game this postseason and a lot of their regular season games too. And every time I see Jeff Green on the court, I'm like, oh, that's Jeff Green.

Speaker 4 He's still in the league.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Like, I know that Jeff Green is on the Nuggets right now, but I have to say it every time he's on the court. Oh, shit, that's Jeff Green.

Speaker 1 He got up for a clean block that was called the foul. Like, got some serious air.
He's, what, 38?

Speaker 4 30? Let's see. He was on that Georgetown team in 2008.

Speaker 1 He got drafted. He might be 36 because he's 36.
He got drafted I think the same year with Kevin Durant.

Speaker 4 Yeah. He's the fifth pick.
He's still in the league.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean nuggets.
Fucking nuggets are good. They're wagging, but again really fucking good.

Speaker 4 I don't know what it is about the heat because I can't put my finger on why the heat are so, so good right now.

Speaker 4 Obviously, Jimmy Butler is one factor, but everybody, if one guy doesn't show up one night, there are going to be three guys that step up in his place.

Speaker 4 It's crazy watching how good the heat have become over these playoffs, and I'm a little bit afraid of them.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, they play great basketball as a team, and they're fucking phenomenally coached.

Speaker 4 Yeah, also, I think Jimmy Butler might have photographic memory because his reverse celebrations, when he taunts somebody back in the same way that they've taunted him, are too perfect. Yes.

Speaker 4 He did the timeout thing that Al Horford did, even got down on the exact same knee that Al did. He mimicked it perfectly.

Speaker 4 I think Jimmy, like, he has, I don't know if it's across the board photographic memory, but I know that if you fuck with Jimmy, it gets seared into his brain. Yes.

Speaker 4 And he will, he will do whatever it takes, come hell or high water, to do that celebration right back in your face.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes, that's facts.

Speaker 1 Okay, anything else before we do who's back? And then we have Brooks, and then we have Anders Holm. Anything else? Going once, going twice.

Speaker 1 Okay. Let's do who's back of the week.
What's up, guys? It's Big Cat here making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey. How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?

Speaker 1 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 1 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt. Age four years in bourbon barrels.
Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 1 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter try proper Irish apple a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 1 So get out there and make your Irish entrance. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Speaker 1 Okay, who's back of the week?

Speaker 5 Yeah, my Who's Back of the Week is Shorts.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. Yeah, nice.
Good who's back, Hank. Good.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 Good job.

Speaker 4 Why are Shorts back, Hank?

Speaker 5 Brooks Kepka just won a major today. He plays on a live tour.

Speaker 5 They're allowed to wear shorts. Big point of controversy.
A lot of people saying no player that wears shorts and plays golf will ever win a major. And Brooks, you know, proved them wrong.
So he did.

Speaker 5 Big day for shorts.

Speaker 4 Huge day for shorts. All the shorts guys out there.

Speaker 1 That's a great who's back.

Speaker 4 Thanks. I love it, Hank.

Speaker 1 Thank you. What about you, Hank? You were in the building on Friday night? Played some golf on Saturday.

Speaker 4 How'd you shoot?

Speaker 5 I shot well, actually.

Speaker 4 Hank, did you mute all notifications on the golf app that you used that used to tell me whenever you'd be golfing?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 4 I haven't gotten any from Hank, Hank, and I'm pissed off about it.

Speaker 1 You shot a 95.

Speaker 5 Shot a 95 Friday. I shot a 90 on Saturday.

Speaker 1 What? Whoa.

Speaker 1 Damn, that'd be

Speaker 1 great. That's a sitting if your game took a step back because you didn't golf for a whole month.

Speaker 4 What if me and Big Cat played so much golf in June that we got better than you and you got rusty?

Speaker 1 You are going to get rusty. You can't go to a driving break.

Speaker 4 No, you can't practice. That's golf.
I mean, I can go.

Speaker 1 No, you can't. You can go, but you can watch it.
Yeah. Okay.
Just for the ambiance.

Speaker 4 Hank was honestly saying that he was going to just go out to a bunch of golf courts and just walk. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just to be near the game be i mean like hank might become an alcoholic like i got nothing else to do just unreliable for the entire month of june no it'll be great

Speaker 5 i'm sorry

Speaker 5 it it won't even be a big deal no i'm sorry hank

Speaker 1 hank i'm sorry it's not your fault hank i'm sorry it's not your fault not over you can get a house shut you can get a soul patch not over

Speaker 5 i'm thank you for making me aware of that

Speaker 1 i don't think you know that though that you can get a soul patch Or, what if you rented a cat

Speaker 4 for the month?

Speaker 1 Two months, two months' rental of a cat.

Speaker 4 If you rent a cat for the entire summer, I'm willing to lose it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, no, all the way from Memorial Day to Labor Day, you have to get a cat. If you got a cat for Memorial Day to Labor Day, that counts

Speaker 1 because he'll fall in love with the cat and he'll have to keep the cat. You can't just give the cat back.

Speaker 4 You can't lose the cat.

Speaker 1 There's no way you'd give the cat back.

Speaker 1 You have a big heart. That would make you a monster.

Speaker 4 That would make you worse than Max.

Speaker 1 You'd be Lena Dunham.

Speaker 1 You'd be Lena Dunham. Let's just win on Tuesday.

Speaker 5 Let's just win on Tuesday.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 PFT, who's your who's back?

Speaker 4 My who's back is the Golden Knights.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Our Golden Knights. Our Golden Knights.

Speaker 4 Up 2-0, 2-0, most dangerous lead in hockey against the Dallas Stars. And how many overtimes did game one go to?

Speaker 1 Four. Four overtimes.

Speaker 1 All of four.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I feel bad for Knights fans and for Stars fans.

Speaker 4 It obviously sucks worse for a Stars fan to watch four overtimes, but most hockey fans, when they're watching that, at some point, maybe in the third overtime, or like, just end it one way or the other.

Speaker 4 Just shoot me, put me out of my misery. Because if you're watching your team play playoff hockey, it's sucks.

Speaker 1 The Panther game went to four overtime. Oh, the Panther game went to four overtime.

Speaker 6 Yeah, this went to one overtime. One overtime.

Speaker 1 Okay, I was thinking about it. Both of their games went to one overtime.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 We've obviously been watching the hockey very closely.

Speaker 1 All four games have been decided in overtime.

Speaker 6 Correct. And the Panthers game one was quadruple overtime.

Speaker 4 Yeah, there was also a very, very funny stat that they showed showed on the TNT hockey show. I don't know if you guys saw this.
Oh, I did.

Speaker 1 That was an insult stat.

Speaker 4 It was an insult stat that they brought out on our good friend Biz Nasty. And just so you guys know, this aggression will not stand towards Paul Bissonet.

Speaker 4 It ranked the number of total points in the NHL that everybody that was on the desk had. I'm trying to pull it up.

Speaker 1 But it's Gretzky, Anson Carter, and Lundquist that he's going to be able to do that. Yeah, Lundquist is a goalie.

Speaker 4 So

Speaker 4 at least Biz Nasty has more points than Henry Lundquist. So it says: number one wayne gretzky 2857 points second place anson carter 421 points

Speaker 4 oh this must be this must be wrong because it says henrik lundquist the goalie has 27 career points okay so biz nasty doesn't have more and then no paul bissinett's number four on this with 22 career points

Speaker 4 that that that can't be right damn i'm gonna email turner and get that corrected that can't be right right no that can't be right Less than a goalie? Damn.

Speaker 4 Anyways, we've been watching a lot of hockey on part of my take. Go Knights.
Go Knights. Let's go Nights.

Speaker 1 We're up 2-0. Yeah.
Huge. Huge, huge.
Huge.

Speaker 4 What if we just won it all?

Speaker 1 Be sick. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Hang another banner in the PMT studios.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 1 Jake is just silently going to win two titles in the spring.

Speaker 4 And Brooks, he's from South Florida, too. That's fucking ridiculous.
And he had two teams in the Final Four.

Speaker 1 This is, I mean,

Speaker 6 I'm not claiming Miami NFAU.

Speaker 1 But you have.

Speaker 1 Yes, you have.

Speaker 6 Well, and throughout the tournament, yes, but I'm not going to brag about them.

Speaker 1 Jim Bayheim was at the course this weekend. Yes, he was.
So that counts as a Syracuse title. Sure.
Pretty much.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. No, Jake, I mean, I think we predicted this, too.
Like, Max and Hank will go

Speaker 1 all-out war. Yep.
And then Jake will just show up and be like, stop it. The series isn't over, even though we're up 4-0.
Jake was

Speaker 1 serious. No, I know.
When you go up 4-0, you're going to be like, who knows?

Speaker 4 They might just play another game no you know what's gonna happen after the game's over you will not see a human being stand up faster with his hand extended for a handshake than jake marsh will it'll be like the second the clock kicks hit zero you're gonna get in hank's face you're gonna stomp on his throat and be like good series thanks for the sweep yeah

Speaker 1 uh all right my who's back is uh rest versus rust debate because

Speaker 1 if Both series do end in a sweep, so it'll be Monday and Tuesday the series would end. The NBA Finals doesn't start till June 1st, no matter what.

Speaker 1 So the Nuggets would have nine days off, and the Heat would have eight days off. What happens when both teams have the rest versus Rust? Who gets rustier? Who gets restier?

Speaker 4 Which team's older?

Speaker 1 I would imagine, oh, I don't know. Because Haslam kind of skews the Heat.

Speaker 4 He does. Jeff Green, he skews the Nuggets.
Did Haslam get in tonight? I don't think that he did.

Speaker 1 I don't think. Average age.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's going to be important to know because that's going to favor the older team.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you're right. I would say they're probably about the same, would be my guess.

Speaker 1 Let's see. NBA teams.
All right. So the Miami Heat are average age 28.7.
Okay. Okay.
And the Denver Nuggets are 27.3.

Speaker 4 So pretty close. All right.
So it's about a year off.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Pretty close. That would favor the Heat.
Fuck.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. And then my other thing.

Speaker 4 That's too long to go. That is.
The NBA should change. They should bump it up.

Speaker 1 It's going to be very weird having.

Speaker 1 I mean, I, for one, I'm going to be happy to finally get some sleep, but that's also just a personal problem what if what do the teams do if they have to spend that many days off do they have like full like uh full contact full like simulated scrimmages in their practices to keep them going our guy stat whole sports sent me the list of them and he was saying like why why wouldn't they just do a couple scrimmages against each other yeah that'd be fun yeah televise them yeah call one of them game one or have i play golf for like a day or two if there's a week off yeah i think was it titus that said that they should do a Celtics Lakers series?

Speaker 4 Yeah. A third place series? That would be great.
To get some ratings.

Speaker 1 A three-game series in that eight-game rest. Yeah, they should have that.

Speaker 4 Awesome. They should have that.
Yes. They'd probably get more ratings.
Oh,

Speaker 1 the ratings police are already doing work. Yeah.
About a Nuggets Heat final.

Speaker 4 Hank, would you want to beat the Lakers

Speaker 4 in a three-game third-place series? No.

Speaker 1 You wouldn't.

Speaker 5 I wouldn't care.

Speaker 1 Oh, I forgot to ask this question at the start.

Speaker 1 How much does it hurt you being down 3-0 knowing that you would be able to make fun of LeBron being down 3-0, but you can't because you're also down 3-0?

Speaker 5 It hurts a lot.

Speaker 5 It hurts a lot.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 5 I'm having no fun.

Speaker 4 Yeah. That's a great quote.

Speaker 1 I'm having no fun. Not even a little bit of fun?

Speaker 5 No, there's no fun.

Speaker 4 What about Brooks? Yeah, come on.

Speaker 5 Brooks was fun.

Speaker 1 Brooks was a lot of fun.

Speaker 5 But then it just, you know, golf is kind of a triggering thing at this point.

Speaker 4 You hate watching him enjoy his time on the golf course so much, knowing what you're going to do. That could have been you.

Speaker 1 What if you have you thought about if you don't golf for an entire month? Like, what if you just

Speaker 1 fall out of love with it?

Speaker 5 That'd probably be productive. That'd be good for

Speaker 1 work. Yeah.
Oh, interesting. Save that quote.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 5 if a person doesn't have hobbies, all there is is work. Yeah.

Speaker 5 I think work-life balance is good, but

Speaker 1 a work-work balance works too. It also works.

Speaker 4 What if you get the old George Costanza and

Speaker 4 you get super smart?

Speaker 4 You start to play the piano. You get other hobbies, and you're like, wow, golf is really

Speaker 1 part of my mind. Work-work balance.

Speaker 1 There's work, and then there's just more work.

Speaker 5 That's what you want.

Speaker 1 No, that's not what I want.

Speaker 4 You can still go on vacation. Yeah.
Golf on vacation. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I want a happy Hank.

Speaker 4 Wait, Hank, do you really like vacations or do you just like golfing while you're on vacation?

Speaker 1 It's a means to an end.

Speaker 5 I like vacation.

Speaker 1 No, I could.

Speaker 4 One gotta go. Hank, one gotta go.
Golf or vacations.

Speaker 1 Hank's the alcoholic at the bar. Huh? Me.

Speaker 1 Hank's the alcoholic at the bar who's like, I only smoke sigs when I drink. I only golf when I go on vacation.
You ever try to go on vacation without golfing?

Speaker 4 It's like trying to poop and not pee.

Speaker 1 It's been happening to me recently, and I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I can't do that.

Speaker 1 I've a few times, like a week, I'll just take a shit, and then like a minute later, be like, wait, I didn't pee. That's go pee.
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 8 It's a prompt to clean off the skid marks.

Speaker 1 No, but no, I'm saying, like, I don't see your own button. I'm not even thinking about it.
And then I'm like, oh, shit, I didn't pee. I got to go pee.
Hmm. What's going on with that?

Speaker 1 Someone, some sign, some doctor tell me I'm okay.

Speaker 4 I don't think you are.

Speaker 1 I don't think I am either. I think it's a problem.
I think my state. It's not even like conscious.
It's just like, whoops.

Speaker 4 A thousand percent. I think I'm batting a thousand every time I poop, I pee.

Speaker 1 Not me.

Speaker 1 My numbers are going down. It's tough.
My other who's back is cold brew because we got to come at Stella Blue Coffee. Cold brew coming.
Announcement on Tuesday. It is so delicious.
Summertime.

Speaker 1 When I think of summertime, I think of summer, vacations, golf, cold brew. So if you can't do the two in the middle, You might as well just do summer and cold brew.

Speaker 4 Live for coffee.

Speaker 1 Yes, exactly, because there's no golf. And if you have a soul patch, you can maybe save a little flavor saver.

Speaker 4 I could use a little cold brew right now. It's hot in the studio.

Speaker 1 It is very hot in this studio. Cold brew, it is super delicious.

Speaker 1 We'll do a round of cold brews on Tuesday before we do the show. It is like

Speaker 1 we made some really fucking good Cold Brew. So get excited.
SellbooCoffee.com on Tuesday. Billy.

Speaker 8 My who's back is Antonio Brown in Pro Football. Oh, he has finally found an owner that will want him to play for them, and it's himself.
So if you didn't know, he owns a AFL team, the Albany Empire.

Speaker 8 They've had been having some difficulties lately. You know how they say some really good players don't make good coaches? Well, some good players don't make good owners.

Speaker 8 He apparently wasn't paying coaches previously, and now he's actually making the best move he could as an owner and is going to suit up and play for the team.

Speaker 4 I like that. That's where this is all leading anyways.
Yeah. Hasn't he fired three coaches in the last month?

Speaker 8 And he's just not paying anybody. Yeah.
Then he's like taking videos of him like paying people. And then there's like restaurants that are being like, the Albany Empire didn't pay their dinner tab.

Speaker 8 And then he's like, it's a big shit show up there in Albany.

Speaker 4 If I was Antonio Brown, the player, I would not want to pay. I would not want to play for Antonio Brown, the owner.

Speaker 4 Is he paying himself to play?

Speaker 1 You think he might actually get in an argument with himself?

Speaker 8 Yeah, he might be a two hats type of guy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Wow.

Speaker 4 Well, hopefully he'll pay this next coach.

Speaker 1 Hey, I'll watch clips on Twitter. Yeah, maybe.
if, maybe. Yeah, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 No, they'll, they'll, you know, that, like, what will happen is he'll play, and then you'll click on one tweet, and then you'll just have your for you just be constant Antonio Brown highlights for a day.

Speaker 4 I will watch at least five seconds as I'm scrolling through Twitter of an Antonio Brown play in this, whatever league it is. Yes, what if he's washed?

Speaker 1 Can you compete with those dudes? I think he'll probably dominate them. If I had to guess, okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 He was in the league, what, two years ago? Yeah. He won a Super Bowl three years ago? Yeah.

Speaker 4 I would imagine he's probably better than he's also insane.

Speaker 1 Yeah, true.

Speaker 1 Also true.

Speaker 8 May have lost a step.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, Jake, finish us off.

Speaker 6 Who's back is Randy Moss picking winners?

Speaker 3 Yes. National Treasure wins the preakness.

Speaker 1 Shout out to the recurring guests. Quite the day for Bob Baffert.
He announced his.

Speaker 1 He did the Jim Valvano. If you can laugh, you can cry.

Speaker 4 Kill a horse.

Speaker 1 Yeah, kill a horse, win a race. It's a full day.
Yeah. It's a full day.
Forget the horse's name that you killed.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you just have a full day in horse racing.

Speaker 4 I'm starting to get out on horse racing.

Speaker 4 Nothing like cools off a nice Saturday that you have if you're having a couple beers, watching sports on TV, like them dragging a tarp out onto a track and killing a horse.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, it wasn't a good scene. It was not a good scene.
The horse racing, definitely, I love horse racing. I always bet horses, but yeah, they got some issues they got to figure out.

Speaker 1 And Bob Baffert being back

Speaker 1 yeah.

Speaker 4 I feel like that's what we have to do to Hank right now.

Speaker 1 He did like the Bafford cycle. See the tarp out.
The Bafford cycles. Kill a horse, win a race.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Hank is...
Just act like a man. Put your hands up.

Speaker 1 Fight.

Speaker 4 Do you want us to get the giant tarp back?

Speaker 1 Fight for your God. That's insane.

Speaker 5 We got to win on Tuesday.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you're not. Yes.

Speaker 5 Pedro game five. Show game six.
Game seven. Anything can happen.

Speaker 4 You got to watch The Town on Tuesday.

Speaker 5 Yeah. Director's Cut.
You do.

Speaker 1 You have to get... Well, Well, actually, no, you probably shouldn't.

Speaker 1 You probably shouldn't watch The Town.

Speaker 5 No, I'll watch The Town.

Speaker 1 Because Missoula is doing that, and it's not working.

Speaker 4 Do you think he watches The Town even when he's sad? He puts on a somber town.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He should watch Hell or High Water or something.
A different bank robbery. Or The Departed.

Speaker 4 If he's going to watch a movie about bank robbery, watch Heat. Yeah.
If you're going to take on Miami.

Speaker 1 Or if you're going to do bank robberies, why don't you just read some of Billy's blogs about Chiefs of Hollywood? Get you in the mood. You know, how to...

Speaker 1 He's probably going to be on the run after this.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I mean, there's got to be another Boston movie that the departed.

Speaker 1 Wouldn't it be crazy if we found out right afterwards, like,

Speaker 1 at some point, like, maybe

Speaker 1 like midway through the Hawks series, Joe Missoula's jiu-jitsu instructor, like, choked him out a little too hard? Yeah. And, like, he lost a little oxygen to his brain.
Permanent brain damage.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they came out and they're like, we should have probably said something about this, but yeah, he went to the hospital because he was fooling around in jiu-jitsu class for too long wouldn't shock me no it would not out of all the headlines you could get after this celtic season that probably wouldn't would be like one of the least shocking i would rather have my coach be addicted to cocaine yeah like real bad cocaine problem than to be getting choked out all the time yes yes yeah he's literally just going his his hobby outside of basketball is to get less oxygen into his brain yes

Speaker 4 Not good.

Speaker 1 He's essentially huffing paint.

Speaker 4 Not good, but watch in solidarity, Hank. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Come on. I will.
Pick him up. Pick him up.
All right.

Speaker 1 We have a great, great call with Brooks Kepka, with the Wanamaker, drinking beers with his boys. And then we have an awesome interview with Anders Holm.

Speaker 9 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One-made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 9 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 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on PGA champion, five-time major champion. It is Brooks Kapka.
Look at it. He's got the Wanamaker trophy full of beer.

Speaker 1 Already.

Speaker 1 I mean, dude, first of all, just congrats. That was awesome.

Speaker 1 That was awesome, awesome, awesome. I mean,

Speaker 1 you're drunk.

Speaker 1 Talk to us about how awesome that was. Talk to us about how awesome that was.

Speaker 1 That was fucking incredible. And all I could think about today, all I heard was Blake this, Blake that.
And all I could think of, I was like, oh, fuck, this might actually really come true.

Speaker 1 Jenna might be in trouble. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah. So both Big Kett and I did hear from Jenna.
She is, I don't think she's super happy with us to the point that you might have to name your son Blake. Why don't we just compromise?

Speaker 1 How about what if the middle name is Blake?

Speaker 1 I mean, I think the first name is up for debate.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.
Well,

Speaker 1 I still think it's up. Okay.
Brooks, I actually have already brokered a deal behind your back because because Jenna, Instagram story, she was like, this is getting too serious.

Speaker 1 You guys got to chill with the Blake. And then she DM'd me and was like, what if he wins the U.S.
Open,

Speaker 1 then I get to name the baby? I was like, deal, because I'll just bet on him again. If he wins the U.S.
Open.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was like, I don't care what you name the baby. I'll just fucking win more money on him.

Speaker 1 So just win the U.S. Open.
Look at that. That thing is full.

Speaker 1 All right, sweet.

Speaker 1 I got two real quick questions I wanted to ask.

Speaker 1 The 11th,

Speaker 1 you just got up there and fired that shot out of what looked like the most miserable lie.

Speaker 1 Did you even take a practice swing? I'm not really sure. It was so bad that I knew I was making bogeys.
So I was just like, wherever this goes, it doesn't really matter. As long as it gets out.

Speaker 1 It was just like, you know how if you ever just try to like hurry something up, you know it's not going to go well.

Speaker 1 So you just try to hurry it up and like just be done with it because you don't want to deal with the deal with what's what's about to happen. So yeah, that was basically it.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I mean, that was awesome. You just got up there and you just manned it out of the bunker.

Speaker 1 You're just doing your taxes in the fucking bunker.

Speaker 1 Exactly, exactly. Same thing.

Speaker 1 Let's get it over with.

Speaker 1 I got all my all my boys are here.

Speaker 1 I love it. Getting rowdy.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I fucking love it. All right.
So the other question I had was, oh, it's not even a question. It's more just like, this is how much of a killer Blake or Brooks is.

Speaker 1 We were texting this morning on Sunday morning, and the last thing you said to me is like, all right, I'll talk to you later tonight.

Speaker 1 And I was like, wait, did he just, did he just basically say he's going to win this whole fucking thing? You had, you just have confidence. You have swag.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. I was just, honestly, I was just really looking forward to drinking out of that thing again.
It's been a while.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 yeah, I mean, honestly, I think we need to really just make this a

Speaker 1 weekly thing at the majors. Every Tuesday we talk.
Yes. Uh-huh.
Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Now that the suspension is over, everything's gone. Boom, Tuesday.
You already know what's happening. Book it.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 we have it.

Speaker 4 We have a standing opening on part of my tech for you the Tuesday before the U.S. open.

Speaker 1 I'm agreeing with you.

Speaker 4 I'm saying, yeah, we've already booked it on the calendar. Tuesday before the U.S.
opened, you'll be on. And then Sunday, you'll be on again.

Speaker 4 So that's five. You've got the Winemaker trophy.
How many beers fit in?

Speaker 1 My guess is 21 beers. Wait, how many beers do y'all?

Speaker 1 2418 in here. Over under.

Speaker 1 They got

Speaker 1 in the hand. Over under.

Speaker 1 Look at that. That's

Speaker 1 this is great. This is basically like what everyone gets to live.
You even have your luggage. Like, are you flying back tonight?

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, we're flying, but we're supposed to fly back in like 30 minutes.

Speaker 1 That's 20.

Speaker 1 The pilot said that they were going to time out at 10.30, but we're pushing.

Speaker 4 I have another trophy-related question because some people were mad that you didn't kiss the trophy when it was presented to you.

Speaker 1 Have you kissed it?

Speaker 1 Yeah, my lips have been on this thing a lot for now.

Speaker 1 It just only required alcohol for my lips to be off.

Speaker 1 The Irish kiss.

Speaker 1 All right, well, dude. I mean,

Speaker 1 is it weird to say that we felt like we so we felt like we won a major today as well? Is that fucked up to say? Because we were rooting harder than we've ever rooted. We had everyone in line.

Speaker 1 Hank was not allowed to say anything. We all had bets on you.
God, thank God for Hank. Thank God Hank didn't say a word.
He didn't say a word. And it was.
Oh, here we go.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, you guys shouldn't feel like you won. Okay.
Honestly, everybody but Hank. Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 1 And we won because of Hank keeping it quiet. Yeah.
And maybe, maybe we'll invite him to Grove.

Speaker 1 Maybe. No, no chance.
He doesn't get an invite. Yeah, okay.
All right. No, no, no chance.

Speaker 1 Just be us, us and Caleb.

Speaker 1 One last real question.

Speaker 1 I know this is like sappy because you're drunk and you just won the PGA championship, but after you won it, was there a moment where you're like, fuck, man, this is like all the shit I went through, the injuries, everything.

Speaker 1 And like, here I am back where I should belong, five majors, you know, in the last, whatever, six, seven years, more than anyone else in that timeframe.

Speaker 1 You're like, yeah, man, I'm still Brooks fucking Kepka.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, honestly, I think I made the point. I laughed at it because I left it short.
And that's honestly the opposite of what I was trying to do. I was really trying to make it, but I was,

Speaker 1 I looked right up after I made it. And I looked right in my caddy's eyes.
And he was there. He was there.
He helped me through surgery. He helped me through everything.
And like,

Speaker 1 there was like maybe a 10-second moment where it was like a flashback at everything from surgery till now. Like, it was, it was pretty cool, honestly.
It was,

Speaker 1 it was pretty special, man. Yeah.
And you're all the way back now.

Speaker 4 All the haters, they can't say anything now.

Speaker 1 Brooks kept good stuff. Yeah, I won't be.

Speaker 1 Honestly, I'm just excited. I've got we've got what P's game tomorrow.

Speaker 1 Dude, this is gonna be a long week for me. Pease game tomorrow, heat game Tuesday,

Speaker 1 Panthers game Wednesday, and then gotta go up and go play the live event this weekend. So, uh,

Speaker 1 yeah, I don't know how well that live event's gonna go. I'll be dead on.

Speaker 1 I got a little, there's a little, I think the drool is starting to dry up right here. I got much passion on, yeah,

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 honestly. If you give me five minutes the second I get off this thing, dude, it's so hard to drink out of that thing.

Speaker 1 I'll bring it to you guys to drink out of, but it's uh, yeah, you'll spill it all over yourself.

Speaker 1 Can you, can you take, can you take a sip on have have one of your boys hold the camera and take a sip before you go here, somebody hold it. Ready? So you legit out of scratch.

Speaker 1 All right, Brooks is drinking out of it. Oh, man.
Oh, he's doing his silly.

Speaker 1 So much.

Speaker 1 Dribble.

Speaker 1 It's a lot of dribble.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 oh, man.

Speaker 1 That's a sign of a good time. Yes.
Yes. All right, Brooks.
I'm very happy for you, Brooks. Congratulations.

Speaker 4 Is it fucked up to say I'm proud of you?

Speaker 1 I'm proud of you. I'm proud of us.
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 Thank you, Brooks. I appreciate it.
Well, I'm happy for myself because I won a lot of money, too. Thank you.

Speaker 4 Thank you.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
I think I finished 40th. I finished 40th.

Speaker 1 How'd you finish 40th? Like, if I were playing this weekend, I got the money of the 40th player. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. okay,

Speaker 1 I'm a bill.

Speaker 1 Even on whip, that's pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty good.

Speaker 4 You got me a car, bro.

Speaker 1 Thank you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, man. Thanks so much, John.

Speaker 1 Anything, you let me know. All right.
All right,

Speaker 1 have fun this week.

Speaker 1 okay we now welcome on recurring guest in studio this time. It is Anders home.
He is promoting his new movie called About My Father. Yep.
Which is he is you are the headliner in that.

Speaker 1 Robert De Niro is below that. Robert.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Robert De Niro.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 1 Obviously, people know him from Workaholics as well.

Speaker 1 So you got the new movie coming out. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I guess I know this is a lame first question, but

Speaker 1 how was it working with Robert De Niro? Because that is one of, there's a very few people, I think, in Hollywood that would,

Speaker 1 we have so much access to celebrities now,

Speaker 1 but there's like, it's Pacino, it's De Niro. Yeah.
It's like maybe Jack Nicholson. You're like, whoa, that's crazy.
Did you have that?

Speaker 3 Yeah, man. I mean, here's what's super duper fucked up is that this is my second time working with him.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 So I did a movie called The Intern like five years ago with him.

Speaker 1 Great movie. Thank you.
Yes. Yeah.
And like, you're in that.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 so did Bob.

Speaker 3 No joke, the like first day back, I was like, please remember me. Please remember me.

Speaker 1 And he was like, hey, how you doing? Oh, fuck.

Speaker 3 It's been a while. And I was like, it has.
I'm like crying.

Speaker 3 But no, like working with that dude. And like, first of all, like, right out the gate when I met him, arms open, hugger.
And you're like, this is cool.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 3 You know, and he's fully, he's not like a huge personality, right? So that's kind of also disarming because a lot of people in that position can be like, this is my set. You kind of feel the vibe.

Speaker 3 He sets the tone in a way that's like,

Speaker 3 just chill, you know, and makes you feel at home and like you can do your thing. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And then I quickly made it my set.

Speaker 1 Yeah, hell yeah. So dominate that.
Alpha. Exactly.

Speaker 4 He's old news. Exactly.

Speaker 1 You're next up.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I was like, I kept being like, where's old news? Is old news in his trailer? Oh, he's taking a nap again? Yeah.

Speaker 4 When you first worked with him, were you, before you got a chance to meet him and see how kind of like low-key and cool he was, were you intimidated?

Speaker 4 Were you like, I have to step my acting game up because I'm going to be in a scene with Robert De Niro?

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, you say that, but then, like, it's futile, right? Like, what are you going to step your game up to to his level?

Speaker 1 You got to cry. No, you're not.

Speaker 3 And by the way, I did have to cry day one on the intern.

Speaker 3 And my like story that I kind of hate to share because it is kind of personal. It's like, I had a homie who just died.
And I was like,

Speaker 1 that's, I'm gonna, that's, if I'm gonna cry, I'm gonna, I'm gonna use that, right? Right.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 was like, like, kind of offset, like right behind, like, something, like, getting ready to go in there. And was like, this is fucking stupid.
My friend would clown me for doing this.

Speaker 3 And then I was just like, yo, do you guys have the stuff you can blow in my eyes

Speaker 1 real quick? Let's do that and then roll. Yeah, I was going to say, is that, would that be like very nice to do to your, you know, deceased friend?

Speaker 1 Or would it be like, hey, you're using him for acting? No, he'd be like, it's like a fluffer. Exactly.
He'd be like, what the fuck are you doing, dude? I'm fucking dead.

Speaker 1 Stop crying just so you can get your scene off. Yeah.

Speaker 4 I always wonder about that, like, how many actors tap into a real emotion in a scene like that. I also wonder, this is probably a stupider thing.
Like, have you ever died on screen?

Speaker 1 Uh,

Speaker 1 uh,

Speaker 4 I don't, I don't think so. I always wonder.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 4 I wonder how actors, like, do that. Do you have to hold your breath for an extended period of time?

Speaker 1 Right, yeah.

Speaker 3 I don't know, man. I will, though, when it happens.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'll think of you.

Speaker 4 Go method.

Speaker 1 And I'll go like, keep holding. Yeah.
Keep rolling. Keep holding.
Yeah, I feel like to cry on command, I don't know. I don't think I could do it.

Speaker 1 I think I would probably just think of like my kids getting old.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like something like that.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 3 I can do it now. I use like a positive, like, uh,

Speaker 1 like

Speaker 3 a positive memory from my past and my parents like cheering it at swim meets and shit that makes me get like the hairs on the back of my neck going and like, you know, you get emotional. Right.

Speaker 3 And so you can't tell. It's just, you start well enough with like that kind of emotion.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Nostalgia kind of stuff. Yeah.

Speaker 4 I would think of the national anthem.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. So this country? Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, any national anthem. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 Just start crying.

Speaker 1 Or John Cena announcing that we killed Osama bin Laden. Yeah.
Thank you.

Speaker 4 Compromise him to the fullest extent.

Speaker 3 Or John Cena just talking about Honda's.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Is that his brand? Or John Cena talking about his dead friends because we had an interview with him where he did that to us and it got really awkward. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 He was like, let's not joke, guys. I know a guy that died recently.

Speaker 1 Uh-huh. And you're like,

Speaker 1 we're like, well, actually, we'll be right back with more beef jerky commercials.

Speaker 4 Let's talk about four hymns.

Speaker 1 You have trouble getting hard. Yeah.
Cena? John, actually,

Speaker 1 the majority of people are dead. Right.
Yeah. Like, by a large margin.

Speaker 3 And we can talk about that all day, or we could fucking move on and talk about the draft and the Blackhawks getting that 17-year-old.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 4 Do you remember when John Cena, when he apologized to the entire nation of China in Mandarin because he called Taiwan a country?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 He just dropped Mandarin on our faces. We're like, like, what?

Speaker 3 Look, man, I'm sure John Cena is a good guy, but what the fuck are you doing, man?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just keep it real.

Speaker 3 There's a bunch of people over there who will buy your shit and give you money, but you don't need them. You're doing fine.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you could be okay. You're doing more than fine.
Woof. So, so this movie, though, it seemed like it was a lot of fun.
Like, it feels, especially, you know, Sebastian being,

Speaker 1 it's his story with, you know, his dad.

Speaker 1 Was it one of the most fun experiences you've had? Because you've done some very fun shit.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, like, look,

Speaker 1 excuse me.

Speaker 3 Hungover.

Speaker 1 We were in Mobile, Alabama. Okay.

Speaker 3 Just kind of post-COVID. So a lot of shit was closed down.
So it wasn't like offset was like the best experience, right? Even though Mobile's got good food and we had a good time.

Speaker 3 I was there for two months, but on set, this dude like Brett Dyer,

Speaker 3 who played my younger brother in the movie, we had a great time.

Speaker 3 David Raishi, who was in succession, he plays Carl. Oh, yeah.
Played my dad. Duda's Dude just lights out, super funny.
Sebastian, super funny. And we just had like a good time.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 You know, Kim Cattrall is like, she plays my mom in the movie. She's awesome.

Speaker 3 And we're all being these kind of like super duper honky caricatures, which is just fun. That is fun.
Yeah. Lean into that.

Speaker 4 Yeah. You mentioned swimming a second ago.
Are swimmers, are they underrated athletes, do you think? I feel like they're freak athletes dude.

Speaker 3 You guys are. No.
Here, I'll tell you what it is.

Speaker 3 When you get to a certain level, like college, right? I swam for University of Wisconsin, where you went. Yeah, yeah.
We might have been there at the same time.

Speaker 1 I think you graduated my freshman year. Okay, yeah.

Speaker 7 But you heard about me? No, of course, dude.

Speaker 1 That's actually why I went. Right, exactly.

Speaker 1 We'll get back to how legendary the swim team was at Wisconsin.

Speaker 3 But even at the collegiate level where people are

Speaker 3 top of the top, right?

Speaker 3 You still have two different kinds of athletes. You have like athletes who probably could have done another sport that are super coordinated that just fell into swimming.

Speaker 3 And when we would like play basketball, they'd be like sick.

Speaker 3 Or like if we'd fuck around in the field house and play like Ultimate Frisbee, they could run like lights out and like make diving catches and shit like that.

Speaker 3 And then you have other people that just have an engine that they can turn on. They dive in the pool, turn it on, and just can go.
Right.

Speaker 3 Their heart is like five times normal size, but they can't jump. They can't run.
They can't do anything but that.

Speaker 1 So like those are CrossFit athletes. Yeah.
Where if you throw them a ball, they can't catch it, but then they can lift, they can like snatch it a thousand

Speaker 3 times.

Speaker 3 And I kind of equate it to basketball where it's like, you got your point guards that are like these freak athletes, but like rarely do you have a center or even sometimes a forward who can like do super duper maneuvers, right?

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 So like, you know, we take all athletes.

Speaker 1 I feel like swimming, you're underselling it because swimming is that one thing that everyone did it, you know, as a kid and it's it's fun and pools are fun.

Speaker 1 And then if you ever try to be like, hey, I'm going to swim like four laps. And they're like, this fucking sucks.
Yeah, yeah. This is so much harder than running or anything.

Speaker 3 Yeah. No, it's, it's tough.

Speaker 1 It's brutal.

Speaker 3 I mean, and you're doing, because it's such a low-impact sport, you can do it twice a day. Right.
So like the conditioning is, is, is crazy.

Speaker 3 When I got to college, I lost 10 pounds, and I was like already like super skinny. I lost 10 pounds just upping the training, you you know, and then I had to like try and get that muscle mass back.

Speaker 1 And I don't know if I ever got there.

Speaker 4 I think I always think of swimmers as being freak athletes just because they have to wake up so early in the morning to go swimming.

Speaker 3 That's true.

Speaker 1 I was late almost every day.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I would be too. You have to wake up so early for swimming.

Speaker 3 It was like a problem. My coach is like,

Speaker 3 what are you doing here? Do you want to be here? I'm like, I do. Trust me.
I just, I'm not a morning guy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 what's the season for swimming? I don't even know that.

Speaker 3 It's winter, but it's super long.

Speaker 3 It's as long as hockey and basketball as far as training goes, but we don't have a zillion games like those guys. I can't imagine going through that.

Speaker 1 And pretty much the best moment of your swim career is probably when randomly during a game against Purdue, they let you go out on the field in the first quarter at Camp Randall. Dude.

Speaker 1 They're like, here's a swim team. And everyone's like, oh, shit.
So I do.

Speaker 7 Yeah, no, it kind of

Speaker 1 like, I know exactly. Like, they do that.
They just roll out every sport throughout the season. That's your part.
All right. You know, it's under five minutes in the first quarter.
Here they are.

Speaker 3 I took a recruiting trip to Kansas because I was thinking about going there. And

Speaker 3 they took us out on the basketball court. That rules.
And we were all wearing like breakaway pants. And I wasn't even there yet.
Right. And it was for like Rock Shock Jayhawk.

Speaker 3 They all sing that song at halftime. And we like tore our pants off and we're in speedos in front of like 20,000 people.
And I was like, dude, I'm going here.

Speaker 3 And then I went to Madison on a trip and I was like,

Speaker 1 nah,

Speaker 3 this is fucking next level.

Speaker 4 This might be a dumb question. It's also swimming related, but are there some pools that are faster than others? Yeah.
How is a pool fast?

Speaker 3 So here's how pool is fast. And

Speaker 3 it comes down to like the depth of the water, right?

Speaker 3 If you have a shallow pool, it's not going to be as fast because if you make like waves and they bounce back up off the bottom of the pool at you, that just can slow you down.

Speaker 3 So you want it to be like at least six to eight feet deep.

Speaker 3 And then also the gutter system.

Speaker 3 If you're on the outside lane and you've got some like old gutters where the waves waves can bounce off of that and back at you uh that's a bummer everybody's pretty much at this point got like the wave eater lane lines that kind of dissipate uh the waves but yeah yeah and but you also joke about it yeah you know you could be like you guys get ready it's a fast pool fast pool fast yeah yeah

Speaker 3 uh people joke about like uh there's a current in lane eight you know so just ride that shit yeah yeah so you and now um you're doing triathlons

Speaker 3 I mean, I did one. I did.

Speaker 1 No, that means you, I mean, that you, you're doing them because you were going to do another one. Uh,

Speaker 3 well, I'm going to do, yeah, so I did the Malibu triathlon last year.

Speaker 1 Um, so you're doing, you are doing triathlons.

Speaker 3 I'm going to do it again this year because I want to make top 50.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that means you're doing

Speaker 1 you're doing triathlons as a hobby.

Speaker 1 You're punishing yourself.

Speaker 3 You're doing this one. It's not that bad.

Speaker 1 No, you're, I don't think you just do one triathlon.

Speaker 3 You keep doing it. Sure, yeah, yeah.
I'm hooked.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, you're hooked.

Speaker 3 You You have a bumper sticker on your car? You have a tattoo? Yeah, I got the like 70.3 on my calf or whatever.

Speaker 1 Wait, are you are you ever going to go to Iron Man? Because Iron Man is

Speaker 1 psycho.

Speaker 3 Yeah, no, that's different.

Speaker 3 My wife wants to do one. She's pretty hardcore.

Speaker 1 That's like a full marathon, right? Yeah, yeah. What's a triathlon?

Speaker 3 I think it's a 5k swim, so like 3.1 swim, and then it's whatever K 112 mile bike is. Okay.
And then it's a marathon, which is 26.2 miles.

Speaker 4 Is there one event that's way easier easier than the others?

Speaker 4 One part is the one discipline?

Speaker 4 Because I would be like, I think I could do the biking.

Speaker 1 Yeah, just pedal really hard and then go downhill.

Speaker 3 I've never ridden a bike for 112 miles, but it doesn't sound fun.

Speaker 3 The swim is always the easiest. It's the shortest distance by far for what it is.

Speaker 3 But you also, if you're like a sick swimmer, like my homie, my teammate, Jamie Burke from Wisconsin, became a pro Ironman, and

Speaker 3 he would kill it it on the swim, but you only get ahead by like

Speaker 3 two minutes if you crush everybody. Whereas on a bike, you can get ahead by like 11 or 15 minutes.

Speaker 4 If you're a beast on the bike, you can make up all that time and then some. Exactly.

Speaker 1 So you're smart to stick with triathlon because that's significantly less. Like Iron Man is just.

Speaker 3 I just do the Olympic distance. So what?

Speaker 1 It's like

Speaker 3 a mile swim or something? It's a mile swim and then like 26 mile bike and then a 6.2 mile run.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's kind of easy. Yeah, that's not crazy.
I could probably do that. I I could do that.
Yeah, no problem. Yeah, sign up, dude.

Speaker 3 By the way, they do a whole like celebrity one the day after, which is a little bit shorter.

Speaker 3 And they keep, they're like, they emailed me the other day. They're like, will you do the celebrity one? And I'm like,

Speaker 3 why would I do that when you guys the day before had the legitimate?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
I kind of want to do it and just die. That would be funny if I died in the swim, but I told everyone,

Speaker 1 I'm doing this and I'm not going to train. I'll be fine.

Speaker 1 And then one of the saddest, hilarious ways to die would be like, oh yeah, he wanted to do a triathlon. He never trained.
And then he just sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

Speaker 3 You know what? I mean, look, you don't have to train for this. You just won't be fast.

Speaker 3 I trained. I was in shape-ish.

Speaker 3 And then I like turned up the training three weeks ahead when my buddy was like, yo, let's do this Malibu triathlon. And I was like,

Speaker 1 okay, yeah, okay, fine.

Speaker 3 I just, I jumped in the water and swam every day for three weeks and then like got on like the Peloton and did hour-long rides three days a week, and then did a little bit of running, and did one 10K before I went out there.

Speaker 3 And then, my buddy the night before was like, I tested for COVID. I'm not going to be there.

Speaker 4 Oh, so it's like, that sounds like that would be awesome if that was, if that was me, yeah, and I could just tell people I'm trending for a triathlon, and then the day before you get COVID.

Speaker 4 Oh, that's, and you're like, oh, fuck, I can't do this triathlon.

Speaker 1 So people who watch your stuff, who watch Workaholics, love you. There's obsessive fans, obviously, which feels great.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 But you also probably can mingle a little bit and not have, like, you know, people paparazzi and shit.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 I'm a really good level. You know, I'm the level where I'll just be out with my kids and someone will shout tight butthole

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 3 my kids wonder what that means. Yeah.
No, my nine-year-old, he's like, Workaholics? I'm like, yeah, that's that.

Speaker 3 Any like embarrassing thing, he's like, is that from Workaholics? I'm like, yeah. Someday you shall understand.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you're going to watch it all. Yeah, my four-year-old will always be like, people ask for for a picture and I'll just, they'll be like, are those your friends? And I'm like, yeah, kind of.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
They're all my friends. Super popular.
Yeah, they're all my friends. Yeah.
Yeah. No, it's a good level, though.
Someday they are going to watch all these videos.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's fine.

Speaker 3 I mean, the podcast I do with the guys, which is like the dumbest fucking thing in the world, I'm like, this I kind of hope my kids don't listen to because they'll be like, oh, you're like a moron.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Like, you really don't understand or know things at all.

Speaker 1 But that's actually, that's the beauty of it because we're very similar similar where we don't know anything. Right.

Speaker 1 And we've gotten very successful with being really dumb and just admitting you're dumb.

Speaker 4 Yeah, if you say that you're dumb all the time, you can never actually be wrong. Right.
This is true. Because you never put out the pretense of you being right.

Speaker 4 Whereas if you're like, I don't know, who's a smart guy? Like Malcolm Gladwell? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or Nate Silver.

Speaker 3 Oh, you think he's smart?

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 4 he puts out like, you listen to this podcast because you know I'm smarter than you.

Speaker 1 That's the vibe that he puts out.

Speaker 4 So if he's ever wrong about like one small thing, everybody's like, this guy's totally full of shit. Yeah.
whereas with us if we're accidentally right about something that's equally as dumb, right?

Speaker 4 They'll be like, holy shit, these guys are geniuses. Right.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Flip the paradigm. And we're Malcolm Guywell is the perfect.
We've said this before, but he's the perfect. Like, there's a lot of people who believe everything he says who are dumb people.

Speaker 1 And then there are a lot of really smart people who are like, well, actually, he's wrong for this, this, and this.

Speaker 1 I'm right in the middle where it's like, I think sometimes he's full of shit, but I can't explain why. Right, right.
Like, I don't actually know how to refute an argument here.

Speaker 3 No, he is one of those guys who can articulate a point in a way that's super convincing and you just go, yeah, that makes sense. But like you really got to listen for like the holes.

Speaker 1 Wait a second. Wait.
But I don't really know why that's a whole.

Speaker 4 One time he said Steve Nash was Nigerian. Right.
And I was like, yeah,

Speaker 4 actually, now that he said it, that makes a lot of sense. Right.

Speaker 1 And then you start questioning yourself. You're like, wait, is he Nigerian? Yeah, actually, no, he's from Canada.

Speaker 3 He's white.

Speaker 1 He's Nigerian. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know what?

Speaker 4 Malcolm Gladwell has great smart people hair.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 4 That's what I think most of it is. You see that guy and you're like, that guy, he

Speaker 4 is so eccentric that I'm sure he's intelligent.

Speaker 1 It's the coffee shop look. Like you see him at a coffee shop and you're like, he's got a lot of thoughts going on in his head.
Right.

Speaker 1 Whereas you see me at a coffee shop and it's like, that guy needs some sleep.

Speaker 1 That guy's here for a lot of coffee.

Speaker 1 There's nothing going on in his brain right now. Yeah.
No, I do love.

Speaker 3 You know what? I do.

Speaker 1 Look, I'm sure he's a smart guy.

Speaker 3 But like, the 10,000 hours thing, he's going to dine out on that forever.

Speaker 1 Ever.

Speaker 3 Because that is the thing where everyone goes, Yeah, that's probably about what you need.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's hot hours.

Speaker 3 People quote it now, and like it's become kind of just like

Speaker 3 it's got a life of its own now. Yeah, people don't know where it came from now.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he just wrote a book, and the premise was, uh, practice makes you good at things. Everybody was like, fuck, that's so true.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 I'm glad someone finally said when you think about it, he's right.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he had the other one where it was like the company, like when you're building a company, once you get past a certain level of employees, it's no longer like a small company, which is just a very, like, of course.

Speaker 1 Right. But when he puts it in his book in science behind, you're like, oh, wow, this guy's a genius.

Speaker 3 Did he do freakinomics?

Speaker 1 That was someone else. That might have been from that.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Because that's, I thought that was a book about like strippers handling like their business and finances. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's like, this is how you get it. Girls.
Yep.

Speaker 4 Freakinomics by Carlos.

Speaker 1 Freakonomics, right?

Speaker 3 I mean, come on.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So. Your career has been fantastic.
You, you, I was listening to an interview you were doing, I don't know, it was like a few months ago, and you came around right at the perfect time for YouTube.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. So do you think about that? Like, like right time, right place? Because there is a lot of luck involved, and we're kind of the same way where it's like, if

Speaker 1 there was a hole in the podcast world that we were able to fill, if you came around six years later, it probably wouldn't have worked.

Speaker 3 Right. I mean, yeah, it's a time and place thing.
And like,

Speaker 3 I feel like if you put in about 10,000 hours.

Speaker 3 No, but basically me and the dudes were doing our 10,000 hours. Me and the Workahawks guys, Blake, Adam, Adam, Kyle, we were doing live comedy.
We were taping videos and putting them on our website.

Speaker 3 And then at one point, YouTube dropped and we were like, oh, cool. We don't have to bring people to us.
We can put something out there for like anyone to click on.

Speaker 3 This can be shared by people we don't even know.

Speaker 1 And by the way, we didn't even like go viral. Right.

Speaker 3 Right. Like we never had like a...

Speaker 3 like Donald Glover sketch crew bro rape right that video that was crazy off the wall out there there were a bunch of people having like videos on the front page of the comedy page of YouTube, which was like the fucking holy grail.

Speaker 3 That was like our Johnny Carson,

Speaker 1 which is so sad. Right, but it also is true.
But it is true.

Speaker 3 It is the thing that like the next day, everybody in their 20s at work would be passing around and being like, did you see this shit?

Speaker 3 So yeah,

Speaker 3 we piggybacked off that Comedy Central sauce through YouTube.

Speaker 3 And the rest is our history.

Speaker 4 It was like the front page of YouTube comedy and the front page of Funny or Die. Yeah.
It's like once you make the front page of Funnier Die. Yes.
I remember

Speaker 4 I was in a group at the time, and we got one thing on the front page of Funnier Die. And I was like,

Speaker 1 I'm a millionaire now.

Speaker 4 And now we sit back and we wait

Speaker 1 to come in. Yeah.

Speaker 4 And you guys, I guess somebody at Comedy Central saw you guys on YouTube.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Walter Newman.

Speaker 4 Slid into the DMs that you guys then ignored for a while. Or you didn't see the DMs go through.

Speaker 3 I mean, look, again, dumbest people. we just we liked making content we were I mean Adam's pretty business savvy and like pretty pretty quick thinking but like we're just we were in our 20s and like

Speaker 1 you know just partying have a good time making videos and weren't super marketing savvy and it did sit there for a few months before we checked our messages and we saw that someone who could change our lives was begging us to meet them but I think that that is probably a little bit lost in today's like internet and comedy scene and everything, whereas you guys were getting into it with, there wasn't like a big end goal of like, we got to do this, this, and this to get to here.

Speaker 1 It's like, let's, we're friends, let's make funny things.

Speaker 1 And there's an authenticity about that that people get drawn to.

Speaker 3 Right. And I will say, like,

Speaker 3 you meet a lot of people in LA who are like, man, I'm here to do it. Right.
I'm really here to do it. But I just broke up with my girlfriend, so I got to take like a month off, you know, or like,

Speaker 3 I do heroin, so I'm not going to make it to that rehearsal and me and the guys like we had a good time and like all that but we definitely had like a schedule where like tuesdays we would get together after work pitch ideas uh we'd pick one i'd go off and write it thursday we'd get together after reading the script and like tighten it and change it and then we would film it on the weekends yeah and to find people who were like down to do that well is tough and it's also like presenting as always having fun and not showing showing that side is actually kind of important.

Speaker 1 Like, you know, we'll be here till like two or three in the morning on a Sunday night. Yeah.
But

Speaker 1 our job is fun. Exactly.
And like people see the fun part, which is important. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because they don't want to see like, they don't want to hear someone complaining like, oh, I'm working so many hours writing comedy or doing a podcast. Yeah.

Speaker 3 10,000 hours.

Speaker 1 Yeah, 10,000 hours. And then you also had...
So the Bang Bus was your big break, right?

Speaker 3 The Bang Bus was not, it wasn't a big break, but it was the one that got them because it was almost like clearly they weren't on Bang Bus.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no. Which would have been cool.

Speaker 3 No, but if you've ever seen a blurred out, no, uh, we did a spoof on bang bus, which was like the greatest porno of the era where like these guys were picking up women and having sex in vans.

Speaker 3 And then the part that like always kind of bummed me out is when they're like, oh, is this where you are? We'll drop you off. And then they like leave the makin' laugh.
And you're like, guys, come on.

Speaker 3 So our spoof was, I'm like, she just blew you.

Speaker 1 Like, what are you? Don't do this.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Take her to a bus stop.

Speaker 3 Our spoof was three guys. We love Bang Bus.
We're going to go pick up a girl and like screw her brains out in the van. And we pick up a girl, cut to us, hyper nervous to even speak to this woman.

Speaker 3 And she's like weirded out and we're like noticing like, oh, there's a new sizzler as we drive by. And then she gets out and after she leaves, we're like, we almost had sex with this girl.

Speaker 1 High five, high five.

Speaker 3 And then everyone in the comments, it was an it enraged people because they're like, are Are you fucking kidding me?

Speaker 1 I would have fucked that girl six ways from Sunday.

Speaker 3 And you're like, Yeah, I'm sure you would from the comments of YouTube, like Playboy.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but the early to mid-2000s was such a weird time for internet porn, yeah, because it was all predicated on like maybe like the illusion that maybe it's real, right?

Speaker 1 Like Wolf Hunter, right?

Speaker 4 It's like, no, this guy wasn't, this guy actually goes to supermarkets and then he goes to the fruit section, yeah, and then he just takes a chick home every day.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's living the life, but it also was a perfect time of the internet where, like, everyone, I mean, the internet was kind of built for like porn and people to be horny online, but there wasn't as many, you know, apps and OnlyFans, all that stuff.

Speaker 1 So I bet you you had a lot of people show up to that video being like, oh, this might, this might be a bang bust for free. 2,000%.

Speaker 1 2,000%.

Speaker 1 You were a bait car for hard dicks. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I mean, we were early on that clickbait, man. But so, yeah, that was a video that.
that got the most clicks, but it also got the most hate.

Speaker 3 And people didn't realize it was a con, half the people didn't realize it was comedy.

Speaker 1 When is the fucking?

Speaker 3 Yeah, where is the fucking? By the way, the fucking would have been funnier, just us actually having sex.

Speaker 1 We'd be like, uh, is that how you do it? Yeah, huh? Where's your dick?

Speaker 4 So that was the one that got you guys the most attention.

Speaker 1 You think that's he has one long pube?

Speaker 1 That's your penis. Oh, whoa, weird.

Speaker 4 Do you think that's what that's what made Comedy Central be like, hey, I want to work with these guys?

Speaker 3 No, we, so we did like a series that took place in an office, and

Speaker 3 it was like pulling pranks on each other and that kind of thing. And then from that, they were like, oh, can you spin this into a show?

Speaker 3 And we were like, yeah. And they were like, here's 50 grand.
Shoot a couple like scenes. And I was like, guys, we should write an entire pilot.
I was like a writer.

Speaker 1 I was the writer guy.

Speaker 3 And I had already written a bunch of like pilots to, you know, as writing samples to get writing jobs.

Speaker 3 I hadn't gotten one yet.

Speaker 3 But I'm like, let's write an entire pilot for $50,000.

Speaker 3 That was a million dollars to us, right? We can shoot a pilot. And so we shot a pilot for $50,000.

Speaker 3 I think we didn't take any money, or maybe we took like $1,500 each just for like bills and that shit.

Speaker 3 But the rest went right into it.

Speaker 3 And we shot essentially what is almost exactly the pilot that everyone else saw. We had to reshoot it because we had like Van Halen posters and like fucking

Speaker 3 make a lobe ultra yeah right and we had to like you know get rid of all that stuff uh and like we use like the black keys we had like music cues that like you can't pay for um

Speaker 3 but then we reshot it and it's funny I wish that somewhere both of those exist so people could see we changed like we did more improvising and the the improv changed but uh yeah it was it's cool do you still think that if you're like a young sketch comedy group that's trying to make it do you think that LA is still the place to be for something like that Or is it become so decentralized now that you can do it anywhere you want?

Speaker 3 Well, I would, I would say, this: like, what do you want to do? Like, what's the end game?

Speaker 3 Because now the end game can just be sketch comedy brought to you by like whatever dude wipes, whatever you want to advertise on your own thing.

Speaker 3 Uh, whereas back in the day, it was like the idea of being a movie star was still a thing, right?

Speaker 3 Like, Adam's like, I moved here, I want to be a movie star, and you're like, great, and then you did it, right? Uh, I wanted to like write movies, I'm doing that. Like, I think now

Speaker 3 people can be like, I want to be a famous Instagram, TikTok, whatever that is. And you can just start there.

Speaker 3 Right. You can go straight to the pros, essentially.
Right. And try and rise to the rank.
So

Speaker 1 it's different.

Speaker 3 I think it's fucking cool. I don't discredit anybody who

Speaker 3 wants that to be their career. I don't look like negatively on like, oh, it's a fucking TikToker nosing like fucking Scream 7 or whatever.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't care.

Speaker 3 I was a YouTube guy. You just do what you got to do.

Speaker 1 Right. Yeah.
Do you, do you,

Speaker 1 do you ever miss like the climb up? And I know that's kind of a shitty question, but like,

Speaker 1 like, there's definitely times where I think, like, oh, man, like, remember when it was like just this building of something that you never knew where it would go? Yeah.

Speaker 3 Well, you guys are at the top of the game, right?

Speaker 1 You guys are

Speaker 1 on the other side. Yeah, we might be

Speaker 1 going down the mountain.

Speaker 7 Every.

Speaker 1 If we're being honest,

Speaker 1 we're both going to be 40 in a year ahead.

Speaker 3 But what's dope is that, like, that's what the journey is because now like i was like the young blood working with like uh older people like jack black ben stiller they come came on workaholics and you know we're like our minds are getting blown like we're working with daniel stern right right then i'm like working with de niro uh and i mean who like a ton of amazing people who i've looked up to i'm doing something with kurt russell that comes out later this year and um

Speaker 3 but now that i'm like 42 and i'm like getting up there myself and i'm working with young bloods who are like dude I like grew up watching workaholics right you go oh like this is a ride This isn't like peaking and then over it's up.

Speaker 3 It's down

Speaker 3 like look at Brian Cox on succession, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah

Speaker 3 Super troopers.

Speaker 1 Yeah, super troopers

Speaker 3 This dude was on super troopers, and I'm not saying super troopers is below him or above him.

Speaker 3 It was a fucking super funny movie, but like it's a a whole ride where like sometimes you're here, sometimes you're there, and now he's on succession and he's the voice of McDonald's.

Speaker 3 Like, you know, it's a good movie. I don't know that that won't happen to me in my 70s.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Right? Yeah.

Speaker 3 All I got to do is keep grinding. And so this year,

Speaker 3 I'm working with De Niro again. Fucking crazy, right? I do, I got a show with the Muppets that comes out this week on Disney Plus.
I'm doing this Godzilla show.

Speaker 3 So like, I'm still checking boxes of things that were like fixtures in my life. Right.
So like the climb, I'm still climbing.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 3 Like Workaholics was a peak of a certain type of thing where I got to make a TV show with my friends that is absolutely my exact type of comedy because it came from our collective brain.

Speaker 3 It's super funny, right?

Speaker 3 I've been part of other comedies where I'm like, oh, this is funny. Is it exactly what I would do?

Speaker 3 No, but like this is what people are going to fucking love more than Game Overman, which people were like, you blew up a dog. And I'm like,

Speaker 3 kind of funny. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Max thinks that's a good thing. But like

Speaker 3 we'll get into it.

Speaker 3 We just wanted to make the bad guy very bad, right? And what's worse than blowing up?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Max is the bad guy. Bad guy.

Speaker 1 They've started this narrative that I hate dogs, which is like the worst narrative. Let me ask about someone.

Speaker 3 So anyway, there's certain different kinds of peaks and valleys, right? Where like, I'm still climbing.

Speaker 1 I'm still going up this ladder.

Speaker 4 I like it. If there was a dog that was sitting next to you on that couch that was just staring at you for this entire interview, just being like, pet me, pet me.
Please pet me.

Speaker 4 yeah and you just ignored the dog the entire time would that make you a bad guy a dog hater that's worse than blowing up a dog actually yeah

Speaker 3 so look that's slowly blowing up this is a long answer

Speaker 3 it it does it does okay and guess what i wouldn't touch that dog what because my wife in her 20s suddenly became allergic to dogs or animals like hair dander whatever and so I grew up obsessed with dogs.

Speaker 3 I had a dog die when I was like nine. And my parents were like, I was like, we got to get another dog.

Speaker 1 We get a new dog now, right?

Speaker 3 And they're like, why don't you do research to see what the perfect dog would be? So for like a year, I'm going to like dog shows at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago.

Speaker 3 I'm fucking like looking at all the best in breeds, and I decide an insane decision, which is that the Chinese Sharpe

Speaker 3 is going to be the dog we should get for our Sharpe.

Speaker 1 Did you? Yeah.

Speaker 3 You can't see this at home. Yeah.
But I'm flying the bird at them.

Speaker 3 I wanted one so bad.

Speaker 1 and I'm a horrible dog because to like the eyes and stuff, whatever.

Speaker 4 Skin infections.

Speaker 3 And then my parents are like, we're not going to get a dog.

Speaker 1 Broke my heart.

Speaker 3 But I was obsessed with dogs. I know everything about all these breeds.
I can like look at a mixed breed and know what it is. And so then my wife becomes allergic to dogs.

Speaker 3 And like to the point where if I pet a dog and I come home, she's like, were you around a dog today?

Speaker 3 And I got to like hop in the shower. So now

Speaker 3 I don't touch dogs. I fucking fucking put my foot out.
If they come near me, I just go, whoosh.

Speaker 1 And people are like, whoa.

Speaker 3 And I go, wife's allergic, can't deal with it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Get it away from me. And now I'm like anti-dog.

Speaker 1 Oh, so you and Max got a lot of, got a, you know,

Speaker 1 something to bond on.

Speaker 3 So I'm with you. My homie had a dog.
Shout out Chauncey, R.I.P. who I loved.
And I used to feed, like, drunkenly feed french fries, like from my mouth, you know, to a pit bull.

Speaker 3 Not the smartest thing in the world.

Speaker 3 But that was the last dog that i like would wrestle yeah you know and now i'm just like karate kicking them yeah i guess that makes you such a good guy that you've become a bad guy because you're just trying to take yeah sometimes you live long enough to become the villain that's a fact

Speaker 11 for sure um all right so i have one last question this has been awesome the pro football football show is presented by the chevy silverado built for the hustle ready for the game chevy silverado is america's most dependable full-size truck whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff the silverado is one ride that's always game ready just like football it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 11 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 1 Okay, so this movie comes out May 26th.

Speaker 3 Would you say 26th or 27th?

Speaker 4 26th is Friday.

Speaker 1 Okay, yeah, yeah. Thank you.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. May 26th about my father.

Speaker 3 I've been definitely tweeting and posting 27th.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 So see it May 27th, and maybe you get like, you're like, wow, why

Speaker 1 did it spike on May 27th yeah yeah

Speaker 1 be sure and see it last

Speaker 1 sorry sorry to interrupt I'm a moron are you uh are you a movie star good question no

Speaker 1 will you be a movie star I don't know that's up to uh

Speaker 3 Jesus Christ no that's up I don't know to star in a movie I think you have to be a movie star right like number one on the call sheet right yeah but do you think is that an aspiration of yours it's not an aspiration but if there is a project uh

Speaker 3 that

Speaker 3 is super cool that I get to be part of, that would be special.

Speaker 1 That'd be fun and cool.

Speaker 3 But I'm not a,

Speaker 3 I didn't move out here and get into this to become like an Adam Sandler or like a Ben Stiller in that regard.

Speaker 1 Jimmy Tetro?

Speaker 3 I love Jimmy.

Speaker 1 Well, he's our guy, and we bought a lot of stock in him like five years ago.

Speaker 3 Oh, like the celeb stock kind of thing?

Speaker 1 No, no, just like becoming friends with some dudes.

Speaker 3 I do have a story about Jimmy,

Speaker 3 but no, if that happens that'd be cool but I'm not chasing that I want to I came out there to be someone who's part of in any way whether it's writing acting directing at some point making something that's like a cultural touchstone yeah you know something that everyone goes dude I watched that movie a hundred times and with Workaholics I think I did that

Speaker 1 so I am still chasing like doing it again that's I mean that's you have great perspective because there I think there is like you you would obviously if someone was like hey we want you to be the main guy in this movie, you wouldn't say no.

Speaker 1 But also knowing, like, what you like to do and not, because if your aspiration is to be an A-list movie star, there's only a few of those.

Speaker 3 And I don't want to, I don't want to be, if someone, if my agents called me and were like, hey, they want you to, and actually I have said no, to being the star of like a movie where I read it and I was just like,

Speaker 3 this ain't it. Right.
Whether it was me or anybody else, Jimmy, whoever, like, this movie's not going to be the one that makes everybody go, fuck, dude, you've got to watch this movie.

Speaker 3 It's so good, right?

Speaker 3 But yeah, if that came along, it would come along. And a quick Jimmy story

Speaker 1 is

Speaker 3 he's on home economics. Yep.
Right.

Speaker 3 I got a call from my manager that's like, hey, there's a pilot. They really like you.
They're out to a guy named Jimmy Tatrow right now. I go, oh, I know him.

Speaker 3 If he passes on it, they're going to offer it to you. So, like, get ready.
And I was like, oh, okay. I read the script.
I'm like, fuck, this is good.

Speaker 3 And I would have played like Topher Grace's brother.

Speaker 1 Topher's on Workaholics.

Speaker 3 I really like him. It was like to play this kind of douchey millionaire

Speaker 3 brother who's got everything and the whole home economics is like the family is everybody's different levels of finances and all that. And

Speaker 1 I'm like, okay, well, fuck. I hope he passes.

Speaker 3 I get a DM from Jimmy, who I kind of know.

Speaker 1 And he goes, dude, hey, man.

Speaker 3 Hey, I just got offered this part.

Speaker 1 Should I do this?

Speaker 3 Oh, I kind of don't want to be tied down to TV. And I hope he's cool with me saying this.

Speaker 1 No, he got me.

Speaker 3 I don't want to be tied down to this show, but it's really good. I think it could be fun.
And I was like,

Speaker 4 yo, full disclosure.

Speaker 3 I go, call me. And then I hit him up.
I go, full disclosure. If you pass on this, someone just called me and said they're going to offer it to me.

Speaker 3 I think you should pass on it

Speaker 3 because I'm keeping it real, not because I want it.

Speaker 3 And it would have have been a great gig for me, but because I think that you are a movie star, and I think that this will tie you down, and you won't have the freedom to do all these things that I think will be banging down your door for you to do.

Speaker 3 And look, you could do the show, and I think you'll fucking kill it. You'll be great, but you'll also be playing a father.
You're kind of young.

Speaker 3 I wouldn't necessarily do that. I'm 10 years older than you.
I think I'm at the point where I'd be like, yeah, I'll have some kids in the show.

Speaker 3 You might get viewed as being older than you are. I don't know if you want to jump ahead because you can play 10 years younger forever.
Like, look at Adam Sandler in

Speaker 3 my buddy

Speaker 3 Kyle Newacek's movie,

Speaker 3 Murder Mystery.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 He plays like a guy with his wife, like as if they're like a brand new couple.

Speaker 1 Right in New York City. I'm like,

Speaker 3 you're 50-something years old. That's like the role of a 28-year-old.

Speaker 3 But 30 years later, we're still allowing these kind of of things because we're like, Yeah, we like Adam Sandler, we want to see him doing the thing that we do in our 20s.

Speaker 3 But I was like, You don't need to handcuff yourself to like having kids yet. Um, and he was like, Okay, cool, like, thanks, I'll think about it.

Speaker 3 And he took the job in hindsight, you know, he's probably making a ton of dough, he wasn't tied down the whole year, and it might have opened up new doors. Uh, but yeah, I was like,

Speaker 3 You're, I go, I've seen you and stuff, you're a movie star, yeah.

Speaker 3 You did a really good job. I'm not a movie star, I think this is where I end up.
I don't think you end up here. But, like,

Speaker 3 I don't know if it was the right decision or wrong decision.

Speaker 3 He's a killer.

Speaker 1 He's super funny, so it doesn't matter. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And it's a good show.

Speaker 1 It's a very good show. Yeah, I mean, I don't watch it.
I've been off of it.

Speaker 4 Yeah, at least one.

Speaker 1 Yeah, multiple Teslas. Cool.

Speaker 4 But he lost all his B's. He's still trying to get over that.

Speaker 1 What is that?

Speaker 4 He had a B colony. He's still pretty broken up about it.

Speaker 3 That's so fucking Hollywood. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Now I'm like, now I don't like him.

Speaker 1 Well, honestly. These are my bees.
Everyone, check out the movie May 26th or 27th, whichever you want.

Speaker 3 No one, June 8th. Yeah.
Check out How to Be My Father. That's not the name of the movie.

Speaker 1 Yeah, about my father.

Speaker 1 Go check it out. We got a screener.
It is very, very funny. Dude, it's fun.

Speaker 3 Oh, you guys saw it? Yes.

Speaker 1 Okay, cool.

Speaker 3 Yeah. So look, Robert De Niro, Sebastian Manascalco, Robin De Niro, Kim Cattrall, David Raishi, who plays Carl in Succession, Brett Dyer, who steals the movie.
Super funny, Plays my brother.

Speaker 3 Leslie Bibb, unbelievable.

Speaker 3 It's a funny fucking movie. You can take your parents.
You can take your kids. It's that kind of movie.

Speaker 1 Italians should go.

Speaker 3 Italians, you might have heard of the movie. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And by the way,

Speaker 3 it's not soft. It's a hard comedy.
Hard jokes, funny set pieces

Speaker 3 get out there. on Christmas Day.

Speaker 4 I like that. Make sure every Italian in America knows Christmas.

Speaker 1 All Italians. Yeah.
Are you sure? You have to.

Speaker 3 If you're Italian.

Speaker 3 We're going to revoke your Italian card if you don't see the movie.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you got to go see the movie.

Speaker 3 Should I have done that?

Speaker 1 As a Norwegian American, is that okay? I'm an Italian father, so I'm allowing that. There it is.
I'm not Italian. I'm one priest.

Speaker 1 Like a priest? No, my kids are Italian. I'm not.
Yeah. So I'm allowed to say it.

Speaker 3 And by the way, we didn't even touch on Madison at all, really.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But what a good idea.
His favorite bar?

Speaker 3 The Red Shed.

Speaker 1 Okay. Yeah.
I was going to say the plaza for me. Plaza's great.
I mean,

Speaker 1 bubble hockey. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think it was Tuesday nights, or maybe Thursday nights, $2 Long Island iced teas, and it was just the worst liquor. And you just get bombed.

Speaker 3 Such a bad thing. Shout out to the Red Shed.

Speaker 3 The building got bought by Wandos.

Speaker 1 Okay, I know Wando's.

Speaker 3 So now they're getting squeezed out. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Well, I'll tell Wando to it.

Speaker 3 So, Wando, please chill. Yeah.
You got a seven-story bar. Yeah.
You drive the biggest cars cars in Madison.

Speaker 3 He's a mover and shaker.

Speaker 1 And we love you. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Like, keep the red shed alive as like a funny, cute kind of like relic.

Speaker 1 But Wando, he needs to do it so he can start paying NIL money. Okay.
Because he'll hit me up every now and then and be like, we got to figure out this NIL money. I'm like.

Speaker 1 What do you want me to do? Yeah.
