Today is Monday, May 22nd. Hank, heads or tails? Tails.
It's a heads. The Celtics are dead.
Celtics, tough game tonight, Hank. We were going to maybe lead with Brooks.
I left it up to a coin for you. You didn't really need to ask him to call heads or tails.
Yeah, that's true. It was heads.
We were going to talk about the Celtics. Tails, we were going to talk about Brooksoks but he also got it wrong he also got that wrong so hank ever since the lotto ball well he did win that series against the sixers but ever since you avoided the soul patch you've had a rough skid here down oh three is game four a must win yes oh i don't know that you sure they're even going to show up though to be honest with you.
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.
I was in the building. I saw it with my own eyes.
And so it was the Celtics looked like maybe they were going to win. Grant Williams poked the bear.
He had a three, and then he p bear uh i love grant williams because he does have that confidence like hits one three and he's like yeah this is my court i'm the guy he talked that shit all the way down the court to jimmy butler jay but hit him falls down gets in grant williams face 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 Williams' face. 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. 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. 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. And it did.
did and they just basically spent the rest of uh the regulation going after grant williams jimmy butler picked him apart the after grant williams got into jimmy butler's face the heat finished the game on a 24-9 run uh the heat also these playoffs are six and two when trailing by 10 plus the rest The rest of the NBA is 14-59 when trailing by 10-plus in the playoffs. That's crazy to think because it also implies that the Heat go down by 10 points a lot.
A lot. It's pretty frequent that they end up being beaten by 10 points and then they manage to pull it together at the end.
If I were you, Hankank i would want to fire missoula right now before game four i don't disagree get brad in there okay counterpoint this isn't all missoula's fault jason tatum and jalen brown are all nba guys and like what's happening what's like it's 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 yeah i mean tonight they shot like seven for 74 from three you're never gonna win games with that type of shooting percentage is that a frank the tank stat i think it's pretty close something like that he's not far off. But I didn't even really see 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.
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., and that one made no sense to me. Yeah.
Like that. No, the coaching's been bad.
I agree the coaching's been bad, but I'm just saying at some point it's also the players. Of course.
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.
But, yeah. I just looked it up.
The Celtics are 36 for 92. So it's 39%.
They're shooting 39% tonight. Okay, that's not bad.
It felt like 70 for 72. Yeah.
You reminded me to throw in the what-if game. Oh, yeah.
What if Grant Williams never made that one three that made him think he was the best player in the world? What would happen, Hank what would the world look like probably 1-1 I mean 2-1 at this point but yeah they probably they probably would have had a win yeah and so you're you're pretty down and the vibes kind of suck which are understandable uh we do want to talk about Brooks because that was a huge win for us but but the coin but the coin said that we have to talk about the Celtics first um there was a timeout that Spolster called. We were watching this live in the Gambling Cave with Titus, and 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 rubbing it in to Celtics fans.
Like, this is what a coach does. Yeah.
So where do you go from here? Because this does feel, you know, no team's ever come back down from 3-0 in the NBA. I mean, Boston, I don't think Boston as a city has what it takes to come down from 3-0.
Do you think, Hank, this is blow it up kind of? Like, what do you do? Just fire the coach? The series is not over. Okay, Jake.
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.

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

And the fact that Jake is wearing a Hemi shirt right now.

Store it at BarstoolSports.com. It was a 30-point game, and we finally got him to say the game was over.

Hank, talk to us.

Where do you go from here?

You've got to fight. You've got to come gotta come back.
You gotta show something. Anything.
You gotta win at least a game. Hopefully two.
If they get blown out in game four, it's... Maybe not blow it all up, but it's...
Make some moves. Make some serious moves.
Reassess. I mean, Jake only has to go one and what you have to go one and two Hank or no Jake can go he got to win two games in a row Hank has to win two games in a row math but shut the fuck up otherwise Hank's not allowed to golf for a month yeah or he can get out of it with a soul patch yep you can get out of it you thought about that? Would you do a soul patch and not be able to golf? Probably not.
We should also say, because the story obviously is, I mean, the Celtics had title aspirations. They were in the championship last year, down 3-0, getting absolutely killed in game three.
The Heat deserve all the credit in the world. They're just fucking good.
And they play as a 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. I was like, give me the Heat in the finals.
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.
They're on fire. 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. Yeah, I mean, scoring-wise.
They're all, 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.
Yeah, they had the stat, there was a moment in the game where the Heat undrafted players were beating the Celtics overall. 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.

Probably the dumbest thing I've ever done when they lost to the Raptors.

Was it the Raptors?

The Hawks.

The Hawks.

And then almost lost to the Bulls.

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.

More teams should have heat culture.

Yeah, seriously.

Go find heat culture because it's fucking dominant. 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? Missoula.
Dund. He's already gone, I think, no matter what.
Yeah, I mean, I don't want to move on from Jalen Brown, but I don't know. There's somewhat of a question mark with him.
It feels like maybe he's going to want out. I hope he doesn't, but that wouldn't blow my mind.
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.
Right, and I feel like once the season ended, that would, that would come out. Yeah.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
There's going to be, the athletic is going to write a hell of a postmortem. Email, email, fuck everyone's girlfriend.
Yeah. Bring him back.
I don't care how horny 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 fired Emei.
They'd be like, okay, I'm going to look the other way.

He just fucked one person.

This is like the scene when Tony Soprano gets in the bathroom

with Jackie April Jr.

He's like, put up your hands, put up a fight.

Fight like a man.

That's how I feel with Hank right now.

The series isn't over.

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

The series isn't over.

He's as doom and gloom as possible.

It's not over.

Final 128-102.

There you go.

He's got to win game four.

Yep.

Then you got Petey tomorrow.

Chill in game six.

Chill in the bump.

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?

Yeah, with those hands.

Yeah.

You fucking swan everyone. Get Poppy in the paint.
Long fingers. Have him back down Bam.
All right. Anything else, Hank? No.
Okay. I wish Max was here.
Max is flying back. He would have loved tonight.
Yeah, it's a real shame. We should maybe try to call him.
It'd be very funny, though, if right in A-Rod's face, because he's sitting courtside boston did come back from 3-0 deficit again listen crazier things have happened you can't come back from 3-0 without going down 3-0 first have crazier things happened i think this would be the craziest yeah in nba it would be right it's never happened it's literally never happened in the nba i guess john morant with another instagram gun that's kind of well that wouldn't be at all no two Instagram guns is crazy Yeah But the second was more like oh he's on live again Yeah the first one It'd be crazy if Ja Morant did like an entire year of Instagram lives with no guns No guns By the way we should say Ja Morant has now gone what A week and a half Without waving a gun on Instagram live? Congratulations, Ja. Yes, yes.
He's cured. Okay, better news.
Brooks Koepka, PGA champion. Good job.
Good job, all of us. One of the best group, like, teamwork effort by part of my take as a whole.
We had divvied up our entire, like, Sunday. I was getting negative.
Jake was staying positive. PFT was trying to mush Hovland.
Hank was after Scotty Scheffler. We just, like Brooks Koepka, that guy is nails.
He is back. We fought a war on all fronts.
Brooks did his end. Yes.
He played golf. I guess he did the majority of the work.
He did a lot of work. of work uh max oh max homa i think he deleted the tweet but uh some oh here it is um this is from louis van hull he said brooks gets blake shout out at him and max homa gets spicy meatball and pervert this is a conspiracy and then max was like thank you yes thank you very much for pointing that out fair point fair point max uh but congrats But congrats to Blake.
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.
We didn't know if Hovland was going to pull through. And then the course came up big when the course had to, and it ate Hovland's ball.
Literally. The bunker ate Hovland's ball.
Shout out to Kors. It disappeared.
It disappeared. It got plugged further than anything has ever been plugged before that I've ever seen or felt.
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 we're around 4 or 5 to start the day. 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 and it was it was some pretty thrilling

golf back and forth especially when Scotty Sheffield made his little late charge uh but

Brooks the guy is just nailed so he's a five-time major champion now he's won more majors in that

in that stretch than anyone else uh he also here's a crazy Brooks Koepka stat he has played in 36

I'm sorry. He's won more majors in that stretch than anyone else.
He also, here's a crazy Brooks Koepka stat. 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. He basically, whenever there's a major, he shows up up he also has uh 27 of his wins are majors uh so he just like every time it's crazy he just i think he has more actually that might be that might actually be wrong because i think it's i think he has five major wins and four tour wins or something like that more majors than more majors yeah well it's like it's.
Well, it's like the live tour was designed just for Blake Koepka because he doesn't care about the normal PGA events anyways. 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. Brooks Koepka might be a genius.
He gets $100 million to play golf in shorts, do 25% less work work that's what billy's really excited about and then just show up for the tournaments that he cares about and dominate it's crazy he's got he's he's hacked golf and it is not to get sappy but uh we have a very cool job we love our job and these moments where it's like a guy that we root for a guy that we become friends with a, 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. 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. And so this is probably going to 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 i think brooks is the closest to tiger in terms of big lights showing up like like the the the ice in his veins in these big moments he's just there yeah you know what i mean Like I'm not talking about Tiger.
Tiger's the best of all time. Longevity, all the wins, everything.
He's got whatever, 18 majors, all that shit. That's Jack Nicklaus.
Yeah, Jack Nicklaus. So Tiger's what, 17 or something? 15, I think.
Either way. Brooks, though, if you're looking for the guy, I think there's been times when it was like Rory, and then obviously Scotty Scheffler and Jon Rahm have been incredible the last few years.
David Duvall for like a year and a half. Yeah, like Jordan Spieth had his moment, 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 Koepka.
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. Brooks can catch Tiger Woods major record.
I mean, the guy finished second in the Masters. Like, that's the thing.
It's not a fluke. He's back.
He's all the way back. Officially back.
And he is like, US Open, I think, what would we get him at? 20-1 today? Like, there's no chance we're getting him at 20-1 for the US Open. No, no.
In Los Angeles, I believe that's Max's home track yeah just every course in southern california i just say is max on his home track but uh yeah i mean brooks it was awesome seeing him come out friday thursday he was a little shaky friday he put on a clinic on the back nine saturday he was again dominant compared to what other people were shooting either that's the thing like he finished what nine under under? Yeah. So that's an incredible score for the way that this course was set up

with the weather that they had this week.

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

How did they know that?

I don't know.

Someone said that.

I just heard that.

That's me.

Oh, that was you?

You said that?

No, no.

I would shoot 150.

You're an 18 handicap.

Right around there, yeah.

On the windy day, they were saying that. I don't know how they fucking know that but whatever the wind looks shitty uh other big story from the pga championship was michael block yes the pga club he was a club pro yes and so he's in southern california i believe and he looks like a complete cross between ryan rusillo and blake bortles and he dunked a hole in one on the back nine on Sunday.
And that was awesome. Which ended up being super significant because he finished tied for 15th, which means he gets to play in the PGA championship again next year.
Great story. Like one of those, this is a Hollywood story.
He did cry a lot. He was crying a lot.
Well, Amanda Renner knew what was doing but in the interview right afterwards because she goes she goes look what i have right here it's a video of your of 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 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 know your son's sick right now. 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. Damn.
So it was like, it was the perfect golf tears moment. But that one made sense.
I was saying like he was crying every day in the post. Like he cried like every press conference.
Yes, yes, he did. He's a crier.
He's a crier. He's a dick for a meal of golf, which, I mean, I guess you want emotion.
It was just a great story, though. It's one of those stories that, like, you just – 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, 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 when we could see a live shot.
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.
Yeah, and he went out Saturday night and he went partying. He went out to some bars that are local in the area.
A bunch of people got pictures with him out drinking the night before. 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 i want to get home so you play faster he also said that he had his entire crew uh had flights for saturday morning at 10 a.m i love that so he was he was not expecting to be around the reaction when yeah i think he even cried when he when they told me he was playing with rory the last day yeah guy just cries yeah he cries it was very emotional week for michael block but he did he did say afterwards like i 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 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 he knew in that moment he's like that's the best moment of my life right there.
All time perspective guy. Yeah.
He had perspective for days. And every time I see Amanda Renner on the golf channel or on 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.
It sucks if Full Swing isn't with Brooks right now. Yeah.
Well, we're with Brooks. We have them coming up.
Liv should do their own Full Swing. They should.
Where it's just partying, just like DJs, private planes. Yeah, there was definitely people were like, oh, the narrative of Liv Golf players not being able to compete.
Brooks has proven that wrong. We also had the greatest hits.
Branley Chambliss got very upset on set afterwards

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.

And Branley Chambliss was like,

yeah, they're playing for their country.

And they had this weird, awkward stare down.

So it's good to know that Brooks has everyone pissed off again.

He's all the way again. Brooks is still.

He's all the way back.

Brooks is still an American citizen.

I just.

It's crazy.

Full swing live tour would just be a public execution.

Yeah.

Winding up with a sword.

Yeah.

For anyone.

Yeah.

And Phil Mickelson and just various leather jackets.

Yeah.

Oh, I would watch that.

Hell yeah.

But no.

Phil Mickelson paying off the casinos in Vegas.

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.
Why not? Why not? Why not? Michael Block, yeah. Great, great story.
Jake, I'm sure you were all in on the Michael Block story. Yeah, it's really cool.
He's just a regular guy. I know he's played in majors before, but to play with Rory, top 15, a hole-in-one playing with Rory.
Yeah. My question is, does his fee go up? I think it was $125 for a 45-minute lesson.
Oh, for a lesson. Yeah.
Yeah, you've got to, right? You bump that up to $150. He's got it.
He also sounds like when he was describing his life, it sounded like the best life ever. He's like, I show the course 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 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 i'm sure that we probably have a lot of club pros that listen to part of my take 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 just be like hey what the hell are you doing here or fucking the hottest mom yeah that's probably it yeah just probably just probably bang bang some strange and chase kids off the ninth green yeah Yeah, exactly.
So 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.

This is the first time in, what, two and a half years,

probably three years, where Brooks has won not wearing shorts?

Yeah.

Who's back of the week?

Pants for Brooks Koepka?

Yeah.

What's that, Hank?

You okay, Hank?

What does that look?

Just thinking about the Celtics. I took my who hood back.
Oh, no. Oh, pants? It's going to be shorts.
Yeah. We also had Brooks played.
Hank sounds so depressed right now. It's awesome.
It's sad. It's sad.
I don't know what's... Because it's actually the saddest place you can be as a sports fan because you're not technically dead.
So you have to get yourself up off the mat and be like, no, no, no. There's still a game to be played.
Yeah, you're in hospice right now. But you know deep down there's nothing.
Obviously not to make it about myself, but I need them to win two games. Bad.
Soul patch. Get you out of it.
You can play all the golf you want with that sweet soul patch. you saw how fast Max's beard grew back.
Maybe yours will grow back that fast. Conservatively speaking, how many rounds of golf were you planning on playing in June? 20? Oh, we're going to be going to some great golf.
We're going to Austin. We're going to play some golf there.
We're going to go to Nashville. Tight end you.
Hank was going to play some golf in Nashville. A lot of great courses there.
Fuck. Chicago, moving to Chicago later on this week.
Some good courses in Illinois. Great courses.
And Wisconsin nearby. Damn, we could have got you in Cog Hill.
Someone already hit you up about Cog Hill. Oh, Big Cat, maybe in June do you want to go to Miami and we can play on Michael Jordan's course? Yeah.
Okay, cool. Yeah, that would be sick.
And Brooks will come. Yeah.
He actually said that. You were watching the we'll get to brooks in a minute because we we did call in and he he called us and he was drinking out of the trophy with his boys looked like the most fun ever uh last thing about the pga and then we got to talk nuggets uh lakers uh i did laugh about kyle porter cbs had a great tweet he said imagine telling yourself after the, I don't know how to say the South Carolina one, Jake Kiowa.
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 Koepka on his fifth major at Oak Hill.
It's perfect. It is poetic.
Although I still hate Bryson. 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 DeChambeau play golf, I can't help myself. I'm just like, look at this fat fuck.
Well, yeah. 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.
Still fat. I hated his roided Bryson.
That was the peak of Bryson and the videos he would put out. So, yeah, the hate has simmered a little bit.
Also because he's not really a threat to Brooks. Yeah, that's true.
Rivalry's over. Bryson won the PGA Championship, but there were no fans around.
He basically won the bubble tournament. It's like him and the Lakers winning in the bubble.
Those didn't count. 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 hit it right away.
It was awesome. He was lining up his two-footers, too.
That's what he was doing. He was like a gimme putt.
He was giving himself a minute just so that. He didn't want to get caught with the people in front of him.
It wasn't a Hovland thing. He didn't want to be stuck.
It was basically he learned that he's not going to let any other groups control his pace. He'll control himself, so he was walking slow so that he made sure that they never ran up for the golfers in front of him.
It's smart. 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. It was actually – it happened when Hovland 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 instant. He's ready to go.
Yeah. 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. Like, get that rivalry going.
Really lean into it. If you're the PGA, if you want ratings, if you want to drive 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, but lean into it have it be like wcw get into a ladder match against all of wwf yes why not yeah this is how we get as how golf grows as a game uh okay so we do have brooks we call him first and then we have uh andres home great interview in studio should we talk lakers knucks? The 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, 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. 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.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever done a game of the year. I'm going to do a game of the year.
Okay. Lakers money line game four.

Okay.

It's got to happen. They got to have fight.

It's got to happen.

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

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.

I still want to say Nugs in six, but I think I'm dialing that back to Nuggs in five. I think I was wrong.
Yeah. I was right about being wrong about the Nuggets just now, though.
Yeah, because if the Lakers win game four, then they go back to altitude. LeBron's not going to win.
He's probably not going to make the trip. 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.
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.
Yeah, I expected them to be much, much better at home. And for a Jack Nicholson, who, by the way, still looks awesome.
Still looks awesome. Not a day over 30 years old.
Might be battling dementia. A little Jack Nicholson.
But yeah, I thought that they would put on a better show at home. And especially because Jokic, like, he didn't have his triple-double.
He was averaging a triple-double. 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. 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, 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.
They were better than the Lakers and they were better than the refs. And I've watched every N 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 he's still in the league yeah like i know that jeff green is on the nuggets right now but every i have to say it every time he's on the court oh shit that's jeff green he got up for a clean block that was called a foul like got some serious air he's what 38 30 let's, 38, I think? Let's see.
He was on that Georgetown team in 2008. He might be 36 because he got – yeah, he's 36.
He drafted, I think, the same year with Kevin Durant. Yeah.
He's the fifth pick that year. Still in the league.
Yeah. I mean, nuggets.
Fucking nuggets are good. They're a wagon.
But, again, I – They're really fucking good. I don't know what it is about the heat because i i can't put my finger on why the heat are so so good right now obviously jimmy butler is one factor but everybody if if one guy doesn't show up one night there are going to be three guys that step up in his place it's it's crazy watching how good the heat have become over these playoffs and i'm i'm a little bit afraid of them yeah i mean they play great basketball a team, and they're fucking phenomenally coached.
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.
He did the timeout thing that Al Horford did, even got down on the exact same knee that Al did. He mimicked it perfectly.
Yep. 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. And he will do whatever it takes, come hell or high water, to do that celebration right back in your face.
Yes, yes, that's facts. 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 twice uh okay let's do who's back of the week nashville get ready for one of the biggest parties of the summer in music city barstool nashville is hosting the summer fest block party on friday may 16th and saturday may 17th outside of barstool nashville on second ab south we're closing down the street and putting up a huge music festival stage for a star-studded lineup of artists,

Get your tickets now on BarstoolNashville.com. Okay, who's back of the week? Yeah, my who's back of the week is shorts.
Oh, okay, yeah, nice. Good, who's back, Hank? Thank you.
Good job. Why are shorts back, Hank? Brooks Koepka just won a major today.
He plays on the Live Tour. 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 proved them wrong. He did.
Big day for shorts. Huge day for shorts.
All the shorts guys out there. That's a great who's back, Hank.
I love it, Hank. Thank you.
What about you, Hank? You were in the building on Friday night. Played some golf on Saturday.
How'd you shoot? I shot well, actually. Hank, you're in the building on Friday night, played some golf on Saturday.

How'd you shoot?

I shot well, actually.

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

Yeah.

Oh, I know.

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

You shot a 95.

Show 95 Friday.

I shot a 90 on Saturday.

What?

Whoa.

Damn.

That'd be so shitty if your game took a step back because you didn't golf for a month. What if me and Big Cat played so much golf in June that we got better than you and you got rusty? You are going to get rusty.
You can't go to a driving range. No, you can't practice.
That's golf. I mean, I can go.
No, you can't. You can go, but you can watch.
Okay. Just for the ambiance? Hank was honestly saying that he was going to just go out to a bunch of golf course and just walk.
Yeah. Just to be near the game.
I mean, Hank might become an alcoholic. I got nothing else to do.
It's just unreliable for the entire month of June. No, it'll be great.
I'm sorry, Hank. It wouldn't even be a big deal.
No. I'm sorry, Hank.
Shit. 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. Thank you for making me aware of that.
I don't think you know that, though, that you can get a soul patch. Or what if you rented a cat for the month? Two months.
Two months rental of a cat. If you rent a cat for the entire summer, I'm willing to.
Yeah. All the way from Memorial Day to Labor Day, you have to get a cat.
If you got a cat for Memorial month. Two months.
Two months rental of a cat. If you rent a cat for the entire summer,

I'm willing to...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, all the way from Memorial Day to Labor Day,

you have to get a cat.

If you got a cat from Memorial Day to Labor Day,

that counts.

All right.

Because he'll fall in love with the cat.

Yeah.

And he'll have to keep the cat.

You can't just give the cat back.

You can't lose the cat either.

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

You have a big heart.

That would make you a monster.

That would make you worse than Max.

You'd be Lena Dunham. You'd be Lena Dunham.
Let's just win on Tuesday. Let's just win on Tuesday.
Okay. PFT, who's your who's back? My who's back is the Golden Knights.
Yeah. That's our Golden Knights.
Our Golden Knights. Up 2-0.
2-0. Most dangerous lead in hockey against the Dallas Stars.
And how many overtimes did game one go to? Four. Four overtimes.
And like all of four. Yeah, I feel bad for Knights fans and for Stars fans.
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, are like, just end it one way or the other.
Just shoot just shoot me put me out of my misery because if you're watching your team play playoff hockey it sucks the panther game went to four oh panther game went to four yeah this went to one overtime okay both of their games went to one overtime yeah yeah we've obviously been watching the hockey very closely all four games have been decided in overtime correct and the panthers game one was quadru Yeah, there was also a very, very funny stat that they showed on the TNT hockey show. I don't know if you guys saw this.
Oh, I did. That was an insult stat.
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 Bissonette.
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 but there's but it's gretzky anson carter and and lundquist yeah lundquist is a goalie so at least at least biz nasty has more points than henry lundquist okay so it says number one wayne gretzky 2857 points second place ansson Carter, 421 points. Makes sense.

Oh, this must be wrong.

Because it says Henrik Lundqvist, the goalie, has 27 career points.

Okay.

So business have more.

And then, no, Paul Bissonette's number four on this with 22 career points.

Fuck.

That can't be right.

Damn.

I'm going to email Turner and get that corrected.

That can't be right, right?

No, that can't be right.

Less than a goalie?

Damn.

Thank you. That can't be right.
Damn. I'm going to email Turner and get that corrected.
That can't be right, right? No, that can't be right. Less than a goalie? Damn.
Anyways, we've been watching a lot of hockey on part of my take. Go Knights.
Go Knights. Let's go Knights.
We're up 2-0. Yeah.
Huge. Huge, huge.
Huge. What if we just won it all? Be sick.
Yeah. Hang another banner in the PMT studios.
Yeah, I mean, Jake is just silently going to win two titles in the spring.

And Brooks, he's from South Florida, too.

It's fucking ridiculous.

And he had two teams in the Final Four.

I mean, I'm not claiming Miami and FAU.

But we have.

Yes, you have.

You've claimed FAU.

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

Jim Boeheim was at the course this weekend.

Yes, he was.

So that counts as the Syracuse title.

Sure.

Pretty much.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, Jake.

I mean, I think we predicted this, too.

Like, Max and Hank will go all-out war.

Yep.

And then Jake will just show up and be like,

the series isn't over even though we're up 4-0.

Jake would be –

No, I know.

When you go up 4-0, you're going to be like, who knows? They might just play another game. No.
What's going to 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 hits zero, you're going to get in Hank's face.
You're going to stomp on his throat and be like, good series. Thanks for the sweep.
Yeah.

All right.

My who's back is rest versus rust debate because if both series do end in a sweep, so it'd be Monday and Tuesday, the series would end.

The NBA finals doesn't start till June 1st, no matter what.

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 rustier? Which team's older? I would imagine. Oh, I don't know.
Because Haslam kind of skews the Heat. He does.
Jeff Green skews the Nuggets. Did Haslam get in tonight? I don't think that he did.
No, I don't think so. Average age.
Yeah, that's going to be important to know because that's going to favor the older team. Yeah, you you're right i would say they're probably about the same would be my guess uh 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 so pretty close all right so it's about a year off yeah pretty close that would favor the heat fuck yeah uh okay and then my other that's too long to go that is the nba should change they should bump it up it's going to be very weird having 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 do the teams do if they have to spend that many days off? Do they have like full contact, full simulated scrimmages in their practices to keep them going? Our guy Stathol Sports sent me the list of them and he was saying like 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. I play golf for like a day or two There's a week off

Yeah

I think

Was it Titus that said

That they should do a Celtics-Lakers series?

Yeah

A third place series?

That would be great

To get some ratings?

A three game series in that eight game rest?

Yeah

They should have that

They should have that

Yes

They'd probably get more ratings

Oh the ratings

The ratings police are already doing work

Yeah

About a Nuggets-Heat final

Hank

Would you want to beat the Lakers

In a three game third place series?

No

All right. Ratings police are already doing work.
Yeah. About a Nuggets heat final.
Hank, would you want to beat the Lakers in a three-game third-place series?

No.

You wouldn't?

I wouldn't care.

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

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?

It hurts a lot. It hurts a lot.

It hurts a lot.

Yeah?

I'm having no fun.

Yeah.

That's a great quote.

I'm having no fun.

Not even a little bit of fun?

No, there's no fun. What about Brooks?

Yeah, come on.

Brooks was fun.

Brooks was a lot of fun.

But then it just, you know,

golf is kind of a triggering thing at this point. You hate watching him Enjoy his time On the golf course So much Knowing what you're That could have been you What if you Have you thought about If you don't golf For an entire month Like what if you just Like fall out of love With it That'd probably be Product That'd be good for For work Yeah.
Oh, interesting. Save that quote.
Yeah, I mean, if a person doesn't have hobbies, all there is is work. Yeah, it's true.
I think work-life balance is good, but a work-work balance works too. It also works.
What if you get the old George Costanza and you just, you get like super smart.

You find, so you start to play the piano.

You get other hobbies and you're like, wow, golf is really taking up a big part of my mind.

Hank's going to do a work balance.

There's work and then there's just more work.

That's what you want.

No, that's not what I want.

You can still go on vacation.

Yeah.

You just hang golf on vacation.

Yeah.

I want a happy Hank.

Wait, Hank, do you really like vacations or do you just like golfing while you're on vacation? It's a means to an end. I like vacation.
No, I could. One got to go.
Hank, one got to go. Golf or vacations? Hank's the alcoholic at the bar.
Huh? Me. Hank's the alcoholic at the bar who's like, I only smoke cigs when I drink.
I only golf when I go on vacation. You ever try to go on vacation without golfing? It's like trying to poop and not pee.
It's been happening to me recently, and I don't know what's going on. Yeah, I can't do that.
I have a few times, like a week, I'll just take a shit, and then like a minute later, I'll be like, wait, I didn't pee. That's psycho.
And I'll go pee. Yeah, I don't know.
don't know to clean off the skid marks no but no i'm saying like i don't i'm not even thinking about it and then i'm like oh shit i didn't pee i gotta go pee what's going on with that someone some some doctor tell me i'm okay i don't think you are i don't think i am either yeah i think it's a problem i think my my entire life. It's not even like conscious.
It's just like, whoops. A thousand percent.
I think I'm batting a thousand every time I poop, I pee. Not me.
My numbers are going down. It's tough.
My other who's back is cold brew because we got it coming. It's still a blue coffee.
Cold brew coming announcement on Tuesday. It is so delicious.
Summertime. 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. Live for coffee.
Yes, exactly, because there's no golf. And if you have a soul patch, you can maybe save a little flavor saver.
I could use a little cold brew right now. It's hot in the studio.
It is very hot in the studio. Cold brew, it is super delicious.
We'll do a round of cold brews on Tuesday before we do the show. It is like we made some really fucking good cold brew.
So get excited. Sellbluecoffee.com on Tuesday.
Billy. 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 an AFL team, the Albany Empire. They've 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. 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.
I like that. That's where this is all leading anyways.
Yeah. Hasn't he fired three coaches in the last month? And he's just not paying anybody.
Then he's taking videos of him paying people, and then there's restaurants that are being like, the Albany Empire didn't pay their dinner tab, and then he's like, it's a big shit show up there in Albany. If I was Antonio Brown, the player, I would not want to pay.
I would not want to play for Antonio Brown, the owner. Yeah.
Is he paying himself to play? I don't know. He might actually get in an argument with himself.
Yeah. He might be a two hats type of guy.
Yeah. Yeah.
Wow. Well, hopefully he'll pay this next coach.
Hey, I'll on twitter yeah maybe if maybe yeah no no at least half 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 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? He can't compete with those dudes. I think he'll probably dominate them.
If I had to guess. Okay.
Yeah. He was in the league what? Two years ago? Yeah.
He won a Super Bowl three years ago? Yeah. I'd imagine he's probably better than...
He's also insane. Yeah.
True. Also true.
They've lost a step. Yeah.
All right. Jake, finish us off.
Who's back is Randy Moss picking winners? Yes. National treasure wins the Preakness.
Shout out to the recurring guests. Quite the day for Bob Baffert.
He announced his. He did the Jim Valvano.
If you can laugh, you can cry. Kill a horse.
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.
Yeah. You just have a full day in horse racing.
I'm starting to get out on horse racing. 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.

Yeah, no, it wasn't a good scene.

It was not a good scene.

The horse racing, definitely.

I love horse racing.

Always bet horses.

But yeah, they got some issues

they got to figure out.

And Bob Baffert being back was, yeah.

I feel like that's what we have to do

to Hank right now.

He did like the Baffert cycle.

Bring the tarp out.

The Baffert cycle is kill a horse win a

race yeah uh yeah hank is just act like a man put your hands up fight do you want us to get the get the giant tar pack fight for your guys saying we got a win on tuesday yeah and you're not yes pedro game five show game six game seven anything can happen you gotta watch the town on tuesday yeah director's cut

you do

you have to get

well actually no

you probably should

watch it tonight

watch it tonight

watch it tonight. You probably shouldn't watch the town.
No, I'll watch the town. Because Missoula's like doing that and it's not working.
Do you think he watches the town even when he's sad? He puts on a somber town? Yeah. He should watch like Hell or High Water or something.
A different bank robber. Or The Departed.
If he's going to watch a movie about bank robber, watch Heat. Yeah.
Or if you're going to take on Miami. Or if you're going to do bank robberies, why don't you just read some of Billy's blogs about Chiefs of Hawks? Yeah.
Get you in the mood. He's probably going to be on the run after this.
Yeah. I mean, there's got to be another Boston movie, The Departed.
Wouldn't it be crazy if we found out afterwards, like at some point, like maybe midway through the Hawks series, Joe Mazzola's jujitsu instructor choked him out a little too hard. Yeah.
And he lost a little oxygen to his brain. Permanent brain damage.
Yeah, they came out and they're like, we should have probably said something about this. But yeah yeah he went to the hospital because he was fooling around his jujitsu 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 shock 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.
Yes. Yeah.
He's literally just going. His hobby outside of basketball is to get less oxygen into his brain.
Yes. Not good.
He's essentially huffing paint. Not good.
But watch in solidarity, Hank. Yeah.
Come on. I will.
Pick him up. Pick him up.
All right. We have a great, great call with Brooks Koepka, with the Wanamaker, drinking beers with his boys.
And then we have an awesome interview with Anders Holm. Before we do that, our takeover, right, PFT? It's a takeover by our good friends, Turo.
We love Turo. Hank just used Turo this weekend.
Had a great time in Boston. Turo is the world's largest car-sharing marketplace.
And with Turo, the best part is you can book any car that you want for just about any occasion from a community of local hosts across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Book an SUV for a road trip, something easy and affordable for getting around on vacation, or you can test drive an EV.
I know we've got some listeners in Australia. I want to see a listener in Australia that's using Turo.
I think we have one out there. Use Turo if you're thinking, if you're down under, if you're thinking about driving from Sydney to Queensland, let's say.
Yeah, you, I'm talking to you, Bruce. Book it through Turo.
Okay. You can book that SUV.
You can even get a vintage car. You can get something classy for a special event or for a photo shoot.
And every single trip is backed by liability insurance. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply.

We're going to be moving to Chicago.

I don't have a car yet.

I might get involved in the Turo scene.

Let's go.

That might be how I do the bridge car once I move out there until I buy my first car.

I want to be using Turo.

You guys should use Turo, too.

Find your drive.

Forget boring rental cars at Turo.com.

That's T-U-R-O.com.

Find your drive at Turo.com. And now now here is PGA champion Brooks Koepka okay we now welcome on PGA champion five-time major champion it is Brooks Koepka look at he's got the the Wanamaker trophy full of beer uh already I mean mean, dude, first of all, just congrats.

That was awesome.

That was awesome, awesome, awesome.

I mean, you're drunk.

Talk to us about how awesome that was.

Talk to us about how awesome that was.

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. Jenna might be in trouble.
Yeah. Yeah.
So both Biket 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? How about, what if the middle name is Blake? I mean, I think the first name is up for debate. Okay.
All right. All right.
I still think it's up. Okay.
Brooks, I actually, I've already brokered a deal behind your back because Jenna Instagram story, she was like, this is getting too serious. You guys got to chill with the Blake.
And then she DM me and was like, what if he wins the U.S. Open? 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, I don't care what you name the baby.
I'll just fucking win more money on him. So just win the U.S.
Open. Look at that.
That thing is full. That's awesome.
All right, so wait. More.
I got two real quick questions I wanted to ask. the 11th, you just got up there and fired that shot out of what looked like the most miserable lie.
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. It was just like, you know how if you ever just tried to hurry something up,

you know it's not going to go well.

You just try to hurry it up and just be done with it

because you don't want to deal with what's about to happen.

So, yeah, that was basically it.

Yeah, I mean, that was awesome.

You just got up there and you just manned it out of the bunker.

You were just doing your taxes in the fucking bunker.

Exactly, exactly.

Get it over with.

I got all my boys hurt here.

I love it.

Again,

Thank you. the in the fucking bunker exactly exactly get it over with i got i got all my all my boys are here i love it getting rowdy yeah i fucking love it all right so the other question i had was um oh it's not even a question it's more just like this is how how much of a killer blake or brooks is uh 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.

And I was like, wait, did he just basically say he's going to win

this whole fucking thing?

You just have confidence.

You have swag.

Yeah, yeah.

Honestly, I was just really looking forward to drinking out of that thing again.

It's been a while.

And, yeah, I mean, honestly, I think we need to really just make this a weekly thing at the Major. Just every Tuesday we talk.
Yes. Uh-huh.
Yes. Yeah.
Now that the suspension is over, everything's done, boom. Tuesday, you already know what's happening.
Book it. Yeah.
U.S. Open.
We have a standing opening on part of my take for you the Tuesday before the U.S. Open.
I'm agreeing with you. I'm saying, yeah, we've already booked it on the calendar.
Tuesday before the US Open, you'll be on. And then Sunday, you'll be on again.
So that's five. You've got the Wanamaker Trophy.
How many beers fit in? My guess is 21 beers. Wait, how many beers do y'all have? 18 in here? They got an interest in here.
Over under. Look at that.
That's... Count it.
Count it. This is great.
This is basically what everyone gets to live. You even have your luggage.
Are you flying back tonight? Yeah, we're flying, but we're supposed to fly back in like 30 minutes. It's funny.
The pilot said that they were going to time at 10 30 but we're pushing it's like

i have another trophy related question because some people were mad that you didn't kiss the trophy when when it was presented to you have you kissed it yeah my lips have been on this thing a lot it's just been it's just that it's just only required alcohol for my lips the irish kiss um all, well, dude. I mean, is it weird to say that we felt like...
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. Hank was not allowed to say anything.
We all had bets on you. Thank God for Hank.
Thank God Hank didn't say a word. He didn't say a word.
Oh, here we go. We're spilling beers.
Yeah, no, you guys should feel like you won. Honestly, everybody but Hank should feel like you.
We won because of Hank keeping it quiet, and maybe we'll invite him to Grove. No, no, no chance.
He doesn't get an invite to Grove. Yeah, okay, all right.
No, no chance. That's fine.
Just be us and Caleb. One last real question.
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, 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.
You're like, yeah, man, I'm still Brooks fucking Koepka. 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 uh i looked right up after i made it 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 there was like uh maybe a 10 second moment where it was like a flashback to

everything from surgery till now like it was uh it was pretty cool honestly it was uh it was pretty

special man yeah and you're all the way back now all the haters they can't say anything now

Thank you. from surgery until now.
It was pretty cool, honestly. It was pretty special, man.

Yeah, and you're all the way back now.

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

Brooks Koepka is officially back. Yeah, I won't be.

Honestly, I'm just excited.

We've got what?

P's game tomorrow.

Dude, this is going to be a long week for me.

P's game tomorrow.

Heat game Tuesday.

Panthers game Wednesday.

And then got to go up and go play the live event this weekend.

So, yeah, I don't know how well that live event is gonna go I'll be dead on I got a little there's a little I think the drool is starting to dry up right here I got my passion on yeah yeah 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.

I'll bring it for you guys to drink out of.

But, yeah, you'll spill it all over yourself, too.

Wait, can you take a sip on – have one of your boys hold the camera and take a sip before you go?

Yeah, here.

Somebody hold it.

You legit got a stretch, I'm telling you.

All right, Brooks is drinking out of it.

Oh, he's spilling so much. He's doing so much.
That's a lot of dribble. Oh, man.
That's a sign of a good time. Yes.
Yes. All right, Brooks.
I'm very happy for you, Brooks. Yes, we are.
Is it fucked up saying I'm proud of you? I'm proud of you. I'm proud of us.
No, no, no. I appreciate it.
Well, I'm happy for myself because I won a lot of money, too. So thank you.
Thank you. Yeah.
I think I finished 40th. I finished 40th.
How did you finish 40th? I'm like, if I were playing this weekend, I got the money of the 40th player. Oh, yeah.
Okay. I finished 40th.
I'm a ball. Yeah.
bro yeah even on that's pretty good yeah pretty good you got me a car bro thank you yeah all right man thanks so much anything you let me know all right have fun this week and now for something completely different okay we now welcome on recurring guest in studio this time. It is Anders Holm.
He is promoting his new movie called About My Father. Yep.
Which is he is. You were the headliner in that.
Robert De Niro is below that. Robert.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know who that is.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Obviously, people know him from Workaholics as well.
So you got the new movie coming out. Yeah.
I guess, I know this is a lame first question, but 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, we have so much access to celebrities now. Right.
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 yeah man i mean here's was super duper fucked up is that this is my second time working with him okay so i did a movie called the intern like five years ago with him great movie thank you yes yeah and like you're in that and uh so did bob i'm sorry but no no joke the like first day back i was like please remember me please remember me and he's like hey how you doing oh been a while and i was like it has i'm like crying uh 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 yeah 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 he sets the tone in a way that's like uh just chill you know and makes you feel at home and like you can do your thing yeah um and then i quickly made it my set yeah yeah hell yeah exactly yeah he's old he's old news exactly you're next up yeah i was like i kept being like where's old news his old news in his trailer oh he's taking a nap again yeah when you 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 yeah were you intimidated were you like i i have to step my acting game up because I'm going to be in a scene with Robert De Niro?

Yeah. Yeah.
You say that. But then it's futile, right? What are you going to step your game up to? To his level? You got to cry.
No, you're not. By the way, I did have to cry day one on The Intern.
And my story that I kind of hate to share because it is kind of personal is like's like I had a homie who just died and I was like,

that's,

I'm going to,

that's if I'm going to cry,

I'm going to,

I'm going to use that.

Right.

And,

uh,

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 doing this. And then I was just like, like yo do you guys have the stuff you can blow my eyes real quick let's do that and then roll yeah i was gonna say is that it would that be like very nice to do to your you know deceased friend or would it be like hey you're using him for acting no he's like it's like a fluffer exactly he'd be like what the fuck are you doing dude i'm fucking dead stop crying just so you can get your scene off yeah 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 uh uh i don't i don't think so i was i don't know i wonder how actors like do that do you have to hold your breath for an extended period of time right yeah i don't know man i will though when it happens yeah yeah i'll think of you go method and i'll go like keep holding yeah keep rolling keep holding yeah i i feel like to cry on command i don't know i don't think i could do it i think i would probably just think of like my kids getting old yeah yeah like something like that right i can do it now i use like a positive like uh like uh a positive memory from my past my parents like cheering it at swim meets and shit that makes me gets like the hairs on the back of my neck going and like you know you get emotional right and so you can't tell it's just you start well enough with like that kind of emotion.
Yeah. Nostalgia kind of stuff.
I would think of the national anthem. Oh, yeah.
Of this country? Yeah. Oh, cool.
No, any national anthem. Yeah, yeah.
Just start crying. Or John Cena announcing that we killed Osama Bin Laden.
Yeah. That would be good.
Compromising to the fullest extent. Or John Cena just talking about Hondas.
Yeah, yeah. Is that his brand? Or John Cena 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 he was like let's not joke guys i know a guy that died recently uh-huh and you're like oh that's we're like well actually we'll be right back with more beef jerky commercials fucking let's talk about four hymns yeah you have trouble getting hard yeah you know john're the majority of people are dead right yeah like by a large margin 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 yes do you remember when john cena when he he apologized to the entire nation of china in mandarin because he called taiwan a country yes he just dropped mandarin on our faces we're like what look man i'm sure john cena is a good guy but what the fuck are you doing man yeah just keep it real 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 yeah you'll be okay doing more than fine um so so this movie though it seemed like it was a lot of fun like it feels especially you know sebastian being it's his it's his story with you know his dad um was it one of the most fun experiences you've had uh because you've done some very fun shit yeah i mean like look excuse me hungover um we were in mobile alabama okay 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 mobiles got good food and we had a good time uh i was there for two months but on set this dude like brett dyer uh who played my younger brother in the movie we had a great time uh david reishi who was in.
Oh, yeah. He played my dad.
Dude is just lights out super funny. Sebastian, super funny.
And we just had a good time. Yeah.
Kim Cattrall, she plays my mom in the movie. She's awesome.
And we're all being these kind of super-duper honky caricatures, which is just fun. That is fun.
Yeah. Lean into that.
You mentioned swimming a second ago. Are swimmers, are they underrated athletes, do you think? No.
I feel like they're freak athletes. Oh, I think you guys are.
No. Here, I'll tell you what it is.
When you get to a certain level, like college, right? I swam for University of Wisconsin, where you went. We might have been there at the same time.
I think you graduated my freshman year. Okay.
Yeah. But you heard about me? Yeah, of course, dude.
Of course. That's actually why I went.
Right. Exactly.
We'll get back to how legendary the swim team was at Wisconsin. But even at the collegiate level where people are top of the top, right, 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. And when we would like play basketball, they'd be like sick.
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. 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 their heart is like five times normal size but they can't jump they can't run they can't do anything but that so like those are crossfit athletes yeah if you throw them a ball they can't catch it but then they can lift they can like snatch it right thousand pounds 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 yeah uh so like you know we take all all athletes i feel like swimming you're you're underselling it because swimming is that one thing that everyone did it you know as a kid and it's fun and pools are fun and then if you ever try to be like hey i'm gonna swim like four laps and they're like this fucking sucks yeah this is so much harder than running or anything yeah no it's it's tough it's brutal uh 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 crazy.
When I got to college, 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.

When I got to college, I lost 10 pounds and I was like already like super skinny.

Uh, I lost 10 pounds just upping the training, you know?

And then I had to like try and get that muscle mass back.

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

I think I, I always think of swimmers as being freak athletes just because they have to wake

up so early in the morning to go swimming.

That's true.

I was late almost every day.

Yeah.

I'm like, I do. Trust me.
I'm not a morning guy. Yeah.
What's the season for swimming? I don't even know that. It's winter, but it but it's super long right it's as long as like 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 and pretty much the best like moment of your swim career is probably when like randomly during like a game against purdue they let you go out on the field in the first quarter at camp randall dude they're like here's a swim team and everyone's like oh shit so i do yeah no it kind of is like it is i know exactly like they do that they just roll out every sport yes throughout the season that's your perk all right you know it's under five minutes in the first quarter here they are i took a recruiting trip to kansas because i was thinking about going there and uh 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.

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.

And then I went to Madison on a trip and I was like, nah, I'm going here fucking next level this might be a dumb question it's also swimming related but are are there some pools that are faster than others yeah how is a pool fast so here's how pool pools fast and and it's it comes down to like the depth of the water right if you have a shallow pool it's not gonna 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 so you want it to be like at least six to eight feet deep uh and then also the gutter system if you're on the outside lane and you've got some like old gutters where the 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 water's going fast yeah yeah uh people joke about like uh there's a current in lane eight you know so just ride that yeah yeah so you and now um You're doing triathlons i mean i did one i did no that means you i mean that you you're doing them because you were gonna do another one uh what i'm gonna do yeah so i did the malibu triathlon last year um so you're do you are doing triathlons i'm gonna do it again this year because i want to make top 50 that means you're doing you're doing triathlons as a hobby uh you're punishing yourself doing this one it's not that bad no you're i don't think you just do one triathlon you keep doing sure yeah yeah you have a bumper sticker on your car you have a tattoo yeah i got the like 70.3 or whatever wait are you are you ever gonna go to iron man because iron man isman is psycho. Yeah, no, that's different.
My wife wants to do one. She's pretty hardcore.
That's like a full marathon, right? Yeah, yeah. What's a triathlon? 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 is there is there one event that's way easier than the others uh what do you like you mean one part is one discipline because i would be like i think i could do the biking part just pedal really hard and then go downhill yeah uh i've never ridden a bike for 112 miles but it doesn't sound fun i the swim is always the easiest it's the shortest distance by far for like what it is right uh but you also if you're like a sick swimmer like my homie my teammate jamie burke from wisconsin became a pro iron man and uh he would kill it on the swim but you only get ahead by like two minutes if you crush everybody whereas on the bike you can get ahead by like 11 or 15 minutes if you're a beast on the bike you can make up all that time and then some exactly so you're smart to stick with triathlon because that's significantly less like iron man yeah i just do the olympic distance so what it's like like it's like a mile swim or something it's a mile swim and then like 26 mile bike and then a 6.2 mile run oh that's kind of easy yeah that. Yeah.
That's not crazy. I could probably do that.
I could do that. Yeah.
No problem. Yeah.
Sign up, dude. By the way, they do a whole like celebrity one the day after, which is a little bit shorter.
And they keep, they're like, they email me the other day. They're like, will you do the celebrity one? And I'm like, why would I do that when you guys the day before had like the legit.
Yeah. You want to compete i kind of want to do it and just die that would be funny if i if i died in the swim but i told everyone like i'm doing this and i'm not going to train i'll be fine yeah and then like 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 you don't i mean look you don't have to train for this you just won't be fast right i trained i was in shape ish uh 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 uh okay yeah okay fine i 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 110K before I went out there.
And then my buddy the night before was like, I tested for COVID. I'm not going to be there.
That sounds fake. That would be awesome if that was me and I could just tell people I'm training for a triathlon and then the day before you get COVID and you're like, oh, fuck, I can't do this triathlon.
So people who watch your stuff, who watch Workaholics, love you. There's obsessive fans, obviously, which feels great.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you also probably can mingle a little bit and not have people paparazzi and shit.
Yeah, yeah. I'm a really good level.
You you know i'm the level where i'll just be out my kids and someone will shout tight butthole and uh my kids wonder what that means yeah uh no my nine-year-old he's like workaholics i'm like yeah that's yeah any like embarrassing thing he's like is that from workaholics i'm like yeah someday you shall understand yeah you're gonna watch it all yeah my my four-year-old will always be like people ask for a picture like those your friends and i'm like yeah kind of yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah they're all my super popular yeah they're all my friends yeah yeah no it's a good level though someday they are gonna watch all these videos yeah it's fine i mean my the podcast i do with the guys which is like the dumbest fucking thing in the world i'm like like, this I kind of hope my kids don't listen to because they'll be like, oh, you're like a moron.

Yeah.

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

But that's actually, that's the beauty of it.

Because we're very similar where we don't know anything.

Right.

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

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.

We're going to be wrong right this is true because you never put out the pretense of you being right whereas if you're like i don't know who's a smart guy like malcolm gladwell yeah yeah or nate silver oh you think he's smart well he he puts out like you listen to this podcast because you know i'm smarter than you that's the vibe that he puts out yeah so if he's ever wrong about like one small thing everybody's like this guy's totally full of shit yeah yeah whereas with us if we're accidentally right about something that's equally as dumb right they'll be like holy shit these guys are geniuses right yeah flip the paradigm we're malcolm godwell 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 and then there are a lot of really smart people who are like well actually he's wrong for this this and this 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 no he is one of those guys who can articulate a point in in a way that's super convincing and you just go yeah that makes sense. But you really got to listen for the holes.

Wait a second.

Wait.

But I don't really know why that's a hole.

One time he said Steve Nash was Nigerian.

Right.

And I was like, yeah.

Actually, now that he's said it, that makes a lot of sense.

Right.

And then you start questioning yourself.

You're like, wait, is he Nigerian?

Actually, no.

He's from Canada.

He's white. He's white.

Yeah.

You know what?

Malcolm Gladwell has great smart people hair.

Yeah.

That's what I think most of it is. You see that guy and you're like, that guy, he is so eccentric that I'm sure he's intelligent.
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. Or you see me at a coffee shop and it's like, that guy needs some sleep.
That guy's here for a lot of coffee. There's nothing going on in his brain right now yeah no i do love you know what i do look i'm sure he's a smart guy but like the 10 000 hours thing he's gonna dine out on that forever ever because that is the thing where everyone goes yeah that's probably about what you need yeah that's a lot of hours people quote it now and like it's become kind of just like uh it's got a life of its own now or yeah people don't know where it came from now yeah he just he wrote a book and the premise was uh practice makes you good at things yeah everybody was like fuck that's so true yeah yeah i'm glad someone finally said when you think about it he's right 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 right it's no longer like a small company which is just a very like of course right but when he puts it in his book in science behind you're like oh wow this guy's a genius did he do freakonomics uh that was someone else that might have been from that yeah because that's i thought that was a book about like uh strippers handling like their business and finances yeah it's like this is how you get it girls yep freakingomics by cargy b right i mean come on yeah um so your career has been fantastic you you i was listening to an interview you were doing uh i don't know it was like a few months ago and you came around right at the perfect time for youtube yeah yeah so do you think about that like like right time right place because there is a lot of luck involved.
We're kind of the same way where it's like if there was a there was a hole in the podcast world that we were able to fill. If it came around six years later, probably wouldn't have worked.
Right. I mean, yeah, it's a time is in place thing.
And like, I feel like if you put it in about 10,000 hours. uh no but i basically me and the dudes were doing our 10 000 hours me and the workaholics guys

blake adam kyle uh we were doing live comedy we were taping videos and putting them on our website and then at one point youtube dropped and we're like oh cool we don't have to bring people to us we could put something out there for like anyone to click on this can be shared by people we don't even know uh and by the way we didn't even like go viral right right like we never had like a uh like uh donald glover sketch group bro rape right that video that was right crazy off the wall out there um 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 that was like our johnny carson right which is so sad right but it also is true but it is true 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 um so yeah we we piggybacked off that comedy central saw us through youtube um and the rest is our history it was like the 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 funny or die yes i remember i was college humor college humor yep i was in a group at the time and we got one thing on the front page of funny or die and i was like let's be nice i'm a millionaire now yeah and now we sit back and we wait red share to come Yeah. And you guys, I guess somebody at Comedy Central saw you guys on YouTube.
Yeah. Walter Newman.
Slid into the DMs. Yeah.
That you guys then ignored for a while. Or you didn't see the DM come through, right? Dude, I mean, look, again, dumbest people.
We just, we liked making content. We were, I mean, Adam's pretty business savvy and like pretty quick thinking.
but like we're just we were in our 20s and 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 it's like let's we're friends let's make funny things yeah and there's an authenticity about that that people get drawn to right and i will say like uh 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 uh i just broke up my girlfriend so i gotta take like a month off you know or like uh i do heroin so i'm not gonna 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 it's tough and it's also like presenting is always having fun and not showing that side is actually kind of important like you know we'll be here till like two or three in the morning on a sunday night yeah but our our job is fun exactly like people see the fun part which is important yeah because they don't want to see like you they don't want to hear someone complaining like oh i'm working so many hours writing comedy or doing a podcast yeah 10 000 hours yeah 10 000 hours and then you also had so the bang bus was your big uh break right which i the bang bus was not it wasn't the big break but it was the one that got them because it was almost to be clear they weren't on bang bus no no no which would have been cool 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 are picking up women and having sex in vans 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'd like leave them naked laugh and you're like guys come on so our spoof was i'm like she just blew you like what don't do this yeah take her to a bus stop our spoof was three guys we love bang bus we're gonna 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 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 high five high five and then everyone in the comments it was an enraged people i love because they're like are you fucking kidding me i would have fucked that girl six ways from sunday and you're like yeah i'm sure you would from the comments of youtube yeah play boy 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 like no funner right it's like no wait that 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 yeah he's living life. But it also was a perfect time on 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 only fans, all that stuff.
So I bet you had a lot of people show up to that video being like, oh, this might, this might be a bang bus for free. 2000%.
2000%. You were a bait car for hard dicks yeah i mean we were we were early on that clickbait man yeah but so yeah that that was a video that that got the most clicks but it also got the most hate right and people didn't realize it was a half the people didn't realize it was comedy when is the fucking uh yeah where is the fucking by the way the fucking would have been funnier just us actually having sex is that how you do it where's your dick so that was the one that got you guys the most you think that he has one long pube that's your penis oh whoa weird do you think that's what that's what made comedy central be like hey I want to work with these guys no we so we we did a series that took place in an office.
And it was 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? And we were like, yeah.
And they were like, here's 50 grand. Shoot a couple scenes.
And I was like, guys, we should write an entire pilot. I was like a writer.
I was was the writer guy and i had already written a bunch of like pilots to you know as writing samples to get writing jobs uh hadn't gotten one yet um but i'm like let's write an entire pilot for fifty thousand dollars it might have been that was a million dollars right right we can shoot a pilot and so we shot a pilot for 50 grand i think we didn't take any money or maybe we took like 1500 each just for like bills and that shit um but the rest went right into it uh 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 oh that's the worst make a little 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 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 improvising and the improv changed. But yeah, 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? Well, I would say this. What do you want to do like what's the end game 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 uh whereas back in the day it was like the idea of being a movie star was still a thing right like adam's like i moved here i want to be a movie star 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 uh people can be like i want to be a famous instagram tiktok whatever that is and you can just start there right right you can go straight to the pros essentially right and try and rise to the rank so it's different uh i think it's fucking cool i don't discredit anybody who wants that to be their career i don't look like negatively i'm like oh it's a fucking tiktoker now he's in like fucking scream seven or whatever yeah i don't care i was a youtube guy you just do what you got to do right yeah do you do you uh do you ever miss like the the climb up and i know that's kind of a shitty question but like there's definitely times where I think like oh man remember when it was like just this building of something you never knew where it would go well you guys are at the top of the game right you guys are the top we might be going down the mountain every if we're being honest we're both going to be 40 in a year and a half 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 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 but now that i'm like 42 and i'm like getting up there myself and i'm working with youngbloods 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 it's down uh like look at brian cox on succession right yeah uh super troopers yeah super troopers this dude was on super troopers and i'm not saying super troopers is below him or above him it was a fucking super funny movie but like it's 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 like you know it's a good I don't know that that won't happen to me in my 70s yeah right yeah all I gotta do is keep grinding and so this year I'm working with De Niro again fucking crazy right i do i got a show with the muppets that comes out this week uh on disney plus hell yeah this godzilla show 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 right like 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 it's super funny right uh i've been part of other comedies where i'm like oh this is funny is it exactly what i would do no but like this is what people are gonna fucking love more than game over man right which people were like you blew up a dog and i'm like kind of funny yeah um max thinks but like uh we'll get into it yeah um we we just wanted to make the bad guy very bad right and what's worse than max is the bad guy bad guy they've started this narrative that i hate dogs which is like the worst narrative let me ask you this about someone, like, like there's certain different kinds of peaks and valleys, right? Where like, I'm still climbing. I'm still going up this ladder.
I liked 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, right? Please pet me.
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. I ignoring it that's slowly blowing up this is a long answer 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 i had a dog die when i was like nine my parents were like i was like we got to get another dog we get a new dog now right 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 i'm fucking like looking at all the best in breeds and i decide an insane decision which is that the chinese sharpieay is going to be the dog we should get for our house.
Did you? Yeah. You can't see this at home, but I'm, I'm flying the bird at them.
Uh, I wanted one so bad and I'm a horrible dog cause to like the eyes and stuff, whatever. Skin infections.
And then my parents are like, we're not going to get a dog. Broke my heart, but I but i was obsessed with dogs i know everything about all these breeds i can like look at a mixed breed know what it is and so then my wife becomes allergic to dogs and like to the point where if i pet a dog and i come home she's like were you around a dog today and i gotta like hop in the shower so now i don't touch dogs i fucking put my foot out if they come near me and i just go and people are like whoa and i go wife's allergic can't deal with it yeah get it get it away from me and now i'm like anti-dog oh so you and max got a lot of got a you know yeah something to to bond.
My homie had a dog, shout out Chauncey, RIP, who I loved.

And I used to feed like, drunkenly feed French fries like from my mouth, you know, to a pit bull.

Not the smartest thing in the world.

But that was the last dog that I like would wrestle.

Yeah.

You know, and now I'm just like karate kicking him.

Yeah.

I guess that makes you such a good guy that you've become a bad guy

because you're just trying to take care of your wife.

Yeah, sometimes you live long enough

to become the villain.

That's a fact.

That's a fact.

For sure.

All right, so I have one last question.

Okay, so this movie comes out May 26th.

Would you say 26th or 27th 26th is a friday okay yeah yeah thank you i don't know yeah yeah may 26 about my father i've been uh definitely tweeting and posting 27th yeah yeah so see it may 27th and maybe you get like you're like wow why is it twice why did it spike on may 27th yeah yeah be sure and see it last sorry sorry to interrupt i'm a fucking moron are you uh are you a movie star good question no will you be a movie star i don't know that's up to uh 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 yeah but do you think is that an aspiration of yours it's not an aspiration but if there is a project uh that is super cool that i get to be part of that would be special that'd be fun and cool but i'm not a um i didn't i didn't move out here and get into this to uh become like an adam sandler or like a ben stiller in that regard jimmy tetro uh i love jimmy well he's our guy and we bought a lot of stock in him like five years ago oh like the celeb stock kind of no no just like with him. I do have a story about Jimmy.
But no, I, 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.
times and with workaholics i think i did that uh 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 but also knowing like what you like to do and not because if your aspiration is to be an a-list movie star yeah there's only a few of those and i don't want to i don't want to be if someone if my agents call me and we're like hey they want you to and actually i have said no uh to being the star of like a movie where i read it and i was just like 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 it's so good right um but yeah if that came along it would come along and a quick jimmy story yes is he's on home economics yep right uh i got a call from my manager that's like hey there's a pilot uh they really like you they're out They're out to a guy named Jimmy Tatro right now. I go, oh, I know him.
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. And I would have played like Topher Grace's brother.
Topher's on Workaholics. I really like him.
It was like to play this kind of douchey millionaire brother who's's got everything and the whole home economics is like the family is everybody's different levels of uh finances and all that and i'm like okay well fuck i hope he passes i get a dm from jimmy who i kind of know and he goes dude hey man hey i just got offered this part should i do this oh i kind of don't want to be tied down to tv and i hope he's cool with me saying this no 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 yo full disclosure i go call me and i hit him up i go full disclosure if you pass on this someone just called me and said they're gonna offer it to me i think you should pass on it because i'm keeping it real not because i want it and it would 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. 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. 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.
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 my buddy Kyle, Kyle Newichek's, uh, movie, um, murder mystery. Yeah.

He plays like a guy with his wife, like as if they're like a brand new couple.

Right.

In New York city.

I'm like,

yeah,

you're 50 something years old.

That's like the role of a 28 year old.

Right.

But 30 years later,

we're still allowing these kinds of,

cause we're like,

yeah,

we like Adam Sandler.

We want to see him doing the thing that we do in our twenties.

But I was like,

you don't need to handcuff yourself to like having kids yet. Um, and he was like like thanks i'll think about it 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 you i go i've seen you and stuff you're a movie star yeah you did a really I'm not a movie star.
I think this is where I end up. I don't think you end up here.
But like, I don't know if it was the right decision or wrong decision. He's a killer.
He's super funny, so it doesn't matter. Yeah.
And it's a good show. It's a very good show.
Yeah. I mean, I don't watch it anymore.
And I think he bought a Tesla off of it. Yeah, at least one.
Yeah. Multiple Teslas.
Cool. And he's got it.
But he lost all his bees. He's still trying to get over that.
What is that? He had a bee colony. He's still pretty broken up about it.
That's so fucking Hollywood. Yeah.
Now I'm like, now I don't like them. Just kidding.
Well, Anders. These are my bees.
