Speaker 1 So, y'all know that we're big fans of Cracker Barrel. And this holiday season, I will be sat at their table with a big plate of country-fried turkey.
Speaker 3 And, Brandon, I'll be right there with you, and I'll check it off my Christmas list in the country store while I'm at it.
Speaker 4 It'll make a nice holiday tradition.
Speaker 1 Oh, that's so cute of you.
Speaker 3 Enjoy all the more holiday traditions only at Cracker Barrel.
Speaker 1 On today's Pardon My take, we have our good friend Paul Bissinet on the show, talking some playoff hockey, talking his basically last month being in a hotel room working crazy hours at TNT, some funny stories from that.
Speaker 1 We are going to talk Sixers Celtics game five,
Speaker 1 which was somewhat shocking. In a Sixers blowout, we're going to talk Lakers, Warriors,
Speaker 1 NHL playoffs, hot seat, cool throne, and we have some great FAQs, some big-time questions from the listeners.
Speaker 5 When Cool Creamy Ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce, only at McDonald's for a limited time.
Speaker 6 At participating, McDonald's.
Speaker 1 Okay,
Speaker 1 let's go.
Speaker 1 Now in the streets, there is violence.
Speaker 1 And then I love to solve the property done.
Speaker 1 No place to hang out or washing.
Speaker 1 And then I can't blame all of the songs. Oh, no, we're gonna rock it down to Electric Avenue.
Speaker 1 And then we'll take it higher.
Speaker 1 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Electric. Part of my take
Speaker 1 presented by Barstow.
Speaker 1 Welcome to part in my take. Today is Wednesday, May 10th.
Speaker 1
Wait, hold on. We got to restart.
Hank, you dropped your pacifier right there.
Speaker 1
It's on the floor. Oh, shit.
What are you talking about? You dropped your pacifier.
Speaker 6 He called you a baby.
Speaker 1 Pick up your pacifier so you can suck on it with your binky.
Speaker 2 Last time I checked out, you had to win four games to win a series.
Speaker 1
Oh, he's doing positive. Hank now.
So the Celtics
Speaker 1 or the Sixers kicked the shit out of the Celtics in Boston, game five,
Speaker 1
wasn't really ever in doubt. Probably the best the Sixers have looked this playoffs.
Probably the worst the Celtics have looked this playoffs.
Speaker 1 And we now have a 3-2 Philly lead going back to Philadelphia for game six.
Speaker 1 And PFT,
Speaker 1
I've never seen someone more dejected, more down, more baby than Hank. He didn't speak for the entire second half.
He is in a bad, bad spot.
Speaker 6
I actually have seen somebody more down and dejected than Hank, and that's Hank the last time that they lost. Yeah.
Hank just, this is what he does. He goes into his shell.
Speaker 6 He gets in turtle mode and he pretends. It's funny because like Hank and Max are kind of the same guy when it comes to rooting for the respective teams.
Speaker 6 They both put on this shell of like uber confidence going into games, but it's just to mask deep down a massive, massive fear of losing.
Speaker 6 And so once that gets like a little bit punctured, Hank just kind of like retreats into his shell and just pretends that he didn't say any of the things that he said before the game started. Yeah.
Speaker 6 And so now he's trying to regroup and try to figure out how he can spend this.
Speaker 6 I think he's more comfortable actually coming off a loss going into the next game because he can't even pretend that they're going to stomp the shit out of him.
Speaker 6 Like Hank's back's against the wall right now.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Billy, stop playing with the ball is what Max is telling you.
It's in the picking up on the mic.
Speaker 1 Hank. Yes.
Speaker 1 You just listen to what PFD said. I don't even know if if you're listening to anything because you're zoned out and you're not even
Speaker 1 focused.
Speaker 2 I'm locked in.
Speaker 1 Do you think that you're in a better spot coming off a loss mentally that you can scratch and claw your way back?
Speaker 2
Yeah, I mean, back's against the wall. This team is tough.
This team has been there before. Just got a win, and then you got a home court advantage for game seven.
Speaker 1
I love where we're at. None of what he's saying was what he believes.
He was so doom and gloom. Again, didn't speak for the entirety of the fourth quarter.
Speaker 6 I was waiting for them to get it close.
Speaker 1
They did not get it close. They didn't get it close.
All right, so let's talk about the actual game. Then I want to hear from Max because Max does deserve a little shine here.
Speaker 1
Oh, he doesn't. Okay, Max, why don't you get your shine? After Hank just did that? No, no, no.
Hank's right. It's a four-game series.
Speaker 1 Seven-game series.
Speaker 1 You need to win four games to win a series.
Speaker 1
But this one felt good. Like, I'm going to go to sleep tonight happy.
Like, I'm not celebrating, but, you know, you got to
Speaker 1
enjoy victories. No.
Enjoy victories. Wake up tomorrow morning.
We're on to game game six. We need to close out a series.
Okay.
Speaker 1
But tonight was really tonight was great. Yeah.
I mean, come on. Just, you know,
Speaker 1 let it lose. I mean, everybody showed up today.
Speaker 1
Everybody showed up today. Tyrese Maxey was phenomenal.
Joelle Embiid has been an absolute beast ever since you told me that he wasn't Giannis. Yeah.
Harden, you're right. Egg on my face.
Speaker 1
Like, Harden didn't, he did his job tonight. He didn't need to go for 45, and that's fine.
That's when this team is at their best, when everyone is showing up. Tobias Harris also played great.
Speaker 1
I mean, it was a really, really, really nice game to watch. After almost having a heart attack in the last one, it was nice.
You know, it was fun. We were with the fellas.
Speaker 1
We were playing lottery ball. Everyone was hanging out.
Jake was eating a bunch of popcorn. Sixers were dominating.
Hank was crying. It was a great night.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 Now, Max, I'm curious from your point of view,
Speaker 6 how much do you think Hank's wearing of the insult shirt going into the game played a factor? Did that give you any more motivation?
Speaker 1 I don't give a fuck about that shirt. Hank, I mean,
Speaker 1
look at Hank's face. Like, if you're watching, you should watch on the YouTube right now.
Yeah. Because Hank's face is so, uh, he's, it is, I know you Philly sickos are waiting to look at this face.
Speaker 1 And boy, and like in person, it is, it's so much, it's so nice to see.
Speaker 6 Hey, Hank, I got a question for you. As an ambassador for the Celtics fans, what do you think about your fans booing the Celtics? Was that in the third quarter? Booing the home team?
Speaker 2 You got to use some, you know, you got to get under their skin, get the boys riled up. They did go on a mini sort of tiny run after that.
Speaker 2 So I had no problem with it.
Speaker 1 So
Speaker 1 I have a couple questions for Hank.
Speaker 1 First question, and I don't think this series is over because, you know, Celtics could show up on Thursday night and beat the Sixers, and then it's just everything that happened tonight is washed away.
Speaker 1 So
Speaker 1 Max, even though he doesn't really mean it, because I think he's going to go to bed like jerking off as he falls asleep in his girlfriend's roommate's bed.
Speaker 1
He's so happy. He's like, it's over.
Nothing is ever over.
Speaker 1
I said the opposite. I know what you're feeling.
Just like Nick is smiling and we know he's dead inside. You're doing cartwheels inside, little Max.
No, I mean, it is.
Speaker 1
There are two more games left. There are two more games left.
So let's say this.
Speaker 2 They're going to lose game six.
Speaker 1 They They could.
Speaker 1 Everything's on the table right now.
Speaker 6 Let's say the Celtics lose four right now.
Speaker 1 So I pointed this out to Hank at halftime because a lot of the talk going into this series is like, this is the finale of sorts of the process.
Speaker 1 James Harden, you don't know what he's going to do next year. Like if the Sixers can't get to at least the finals, it's going to be big-time questions going on in Philly and what this team is.
Speaker 1 Underrated, it's kind of the same for the Celtics because Jalen Brown is looming out there and there's been talk about him leaving and find out if he's first team NBA or he's got to be third team NBA on Wednesday to get the Supermax.
Speaker 1 The Celtics, Hank,
Speaker 1 as it stands right this second, again, they could win the series, whatever. But let's say they lose in six.
Speaker 1
It feels like a team that they don't like each other. The way they play is like something's off, and it's not, they are so talented.
And then you watch that and you're like, what is that?
Speaker 1 Yeah, you know, I think they just missed some shots they had a lot of good good looks give us the honest throws are free dishonest no what is it big cat you're yelling at me all stream you're not positive oh yeah you weren't talking you weren't and now i'm talking i'm trying to be positive let's be honest with two games left make your free throws or they make their free throws it's a completely different game they had a lot of open shots in the first half that they just missed make or miss league now give us the other side how bad it is if they lose this series come on hank give me the give me i know you're trying to spin it positive.
Speaker 1 I understand. I appreciate you trying to be positive, but just give me some of like the real what's going through your head.
Speaker 2 I'm thinking about a soul patch in the summer in Chicago. I'm thinking about,
Speaker 2
and I shouldn't be thinking about this. I really should just be saying I'm focused on game six.
Still got two games left.
Speaker 2 And I hate that this was even a thought that crept into my mind before the game.
Speaker 2 But watching the Lakers game last night and them going up 3-1 while the Celtics easily could have been up 3-1, they could have won the series 4-0, 4-0.
Speaker 2 The first game, games one and four were very winnable.
Speaker 2 And so the fact that the Lakers are up 3-1 in winnable games that they could have lost, and the Celtics were tied going into a crucial game 5 didn't have me feeling good. And now I feel even worse.
Speaker 1 What do you think about my comment that maybe they don't like each other? Because it does feel, it's weird seeing a team like that,
Speaker 1 that good, in a game five at home.
Speaker 2 It's just
Speaker 2 fortunate when you had the same team last year and a coach who, in these moments, really, really brought them together and was, you know, he fired them up and kind of yelled at them when they needed to be yelled at.
Speaker 2 And it just seems like that's not happening this year. And
Speaker 2 having two first-year coaches in a row sucks.
Speaker 1 I will back Hank on one point. I do think Emei Udoka
Speaker 1 this team would be playing different because it does feel like their defensive ability and intensity is different, and Emei Udoka got the most out of that. But man, were they bad?
Speaker 1 They were so bad, PFT. Al Horford had zero points.
Speaker 2 0 for 7 from 3.
Speaker 2
But, you know, again, the free throws, a couple of those shots fall. Completely different game.
Very winnable.
Speaker 1
We lost PFT. Oh, damn.
Okay, Hank actually just
Speaker 1 left the room because he had to take a poop.
Speaker 1 And we were waiting for PFT to rejoin. So why don't we just have a talk without him here?
Speaker 1 That was a
Speaker 1 shockingly bad performance from the Celtics tonight, PFT.
Speaker 6
It was dismantling. And I don't know.
I feel like this is going to swing back, though. I think it's going to be Sixers next, and then game seven, anything can happen.
Speaker 6 Actually, I had a question for you, Big Cat. And Max,
Speaker 6 don't listen to this because this is about you and Hank. But objectively speaking,
Speaker 6 who do you think would be funnier with a soul patch, Hank or Max? Because I keep going back and forth. I think Max would be funny because he gives off a vibe that's like
Speaker 6
the logo of a pizza joint/slash slash tire replacement service. Yeah.
That would be very funny. And his like round cherubic face with the soul patch would be very, very funny.
Speaker 6 And then Hank would give off more of like a meth dealer guy. Yeah.
Speaker 6 Like with a like with a big spoiler on the back of his Honda Civic, the guy that you definitely don't want picking up your daughter on a date. That's the vibe I would get from Hank with a soul patch.
Speaker 6 But I think all things being equal, I think Max would be funnier just because he's definitely a beard guy. Hank's beard is just like his face.
Speaker 1 face i think max i think big hairy guy yeah i mean you're he's fat i didn't say that yeah but that's okay it would be it's gonna it would be so many chins he so max would be funnier it would hurt hank far more far far more and that's funny though yeah that's funny right exactly so like in terms of like max can bounce back from it i don't think hank hank might not be able to there was a moment on the stream where hank was lashing out at me and calling me fat and i was like dude you don't think I've seen all the pictures of me being fat?
Speaker 1
It's just like, it completely rolls off my back at this point. You in a soul patch is a fresh new pot of memes that you won't be able to escape.
And he, it like settled in his brain.
Speaker 1 He was like, oh, God.
Speaker 6 You know what he's got to do? He's got to go Jalen Brown and just wear a face mask.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah.
He
Speaker 1 was, it was an all-time, and I actually do agree with you.
Speaker 1 I like, I don't think by any means this series is over because I still think the Celtics have the talent to win game six and then it's, you know, all bets are off for game seven.
Speaker 1
Hank's performance tonight was the biggest baby performance I've ever seen. He did not talk for the entire second half.
It was shocking. He just he turtled.
Speaker 1
Max actually got like mad at us in a moment. Go ahead, Max.
Yeah, I mean, game three was a joke.
Speaker 1 So, so there was a moment during the stream where Max got mad at me specifically because I was rooting for the Celtics to get closer.
Speaker 1 And then I was like, Max, I'm literally just rooting for the over because I knew that like if the, if the, if the lead stayed at like 20, that they would just not play the last five minutes.
Speaker 1
And then it dawned on him. He's like, all right, that's fair.
And then he got mad at Jake for being positive for Hank.
Speaker 1 And I was like, well, I actually texted Jake in the middle of the third quarter to be overly overly like Jake. I was like, be the most Jake you've ever been and tell Hank like every dunk.
Speaker 1 Like, yeah, they cut it to 12. So we were, I was throwing everything at him.
Speaker 1 But yeah, it was,
Speaker 1
he just turtled. He completely turtled.
I do think, like, deep down, he knows that this could be, like, the Celtics could have some big questions going forward.
Speaker 1 And it does feel like they might have made a mistake with the coach, and you could squander what's a wide open playoffs. Again, Thursday could be different, but that was it.
Speaker 1 That was, that's a bad, bad loss.
Speaker 6
Yeah, it's, it's tough. And Hank is, Hank has gotten less mature as this show has gone on.
He's, his maturity is aging in reverse. Yeah.
He's like a, like Benjamin Button, except of his ego.
Speaker 6 It's been a sight to see.
Speaker 1 I like, you're right.
Speaker 6
You're right. The Celtics, if they end up losing the series, there's some tough questions, some things that they have to address.
And it does feel like a wasted year.
Speaker 6 And there's no worse feeling in sports than a wasted year where you know that you've got what it takes and you could win a championship and you just burn out in spectacular fashion.
Speaker 6 That's a pretty bad feeling. I hate that feeling because, I mean, Hank has been fortunate enough to see how many parades, how many does that little asshole have on the sign?
Speaker 6 Like 14 parades since he's been alive.
Speaker 6 He's been fortunate to see a lot of success, but I do think that having a team, and he cares more about the Celtics than he does any other team, having a team that could and should win the championship and then just losing it to Max's 76ers, that will be one that sticks with him for a while.
Speaker 1 Hank is back.
Speaker 1
We had a little conversation while you were gone. Nothing really about you, more about the game.
We'll talk to some X's and O's on the game. I tell when you make this little baby face.
Speaker 1
Oh, no, we weren't talking about you. This is what I want.
We weren't talking about you. We were just talking about the game.
Speaker 1 I actually, well, I did say you were the biggest baby ever, but I said that to your face. How am I?
Speaker 1
Big cat, you haven't been in it. Had a team.
You literally just posted a playoff championship, so you don't know what it's like. I don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 2 I don't need to listen to PFT. I know what he's going to say.
Speaker 1
That's it. I finally got it out of him.
This is what I want. Why don't you lashing out? I just don't like, what the fuck would you have done if you were watching that game? I would have gotten mad.
Speaker 1
I would have tried to change up the momentum. I would have used better body language.
how
Speaker 1 just fire him up i tried
Speaker 1 he did try he did try because there's a there's a rumor on the street that we we did the stream from in here tonight because hank thought it would change the juju and it actually reversed it yeah it's a fact i tried i've had a bad experience in the gambling camera headphones on hank
Speaker 1 he doesn't want he's icing out pft right now
Speaker 6 no hank's not being a baby at all
Speaker 6 hank you're actually handling this do you want me to run it the fly?
Speaker 2 No, no, it's fine, Jake. I know what it is.
Speaker 1 It's fine. He's completely icing up BMT.
Speaker 1
It's fine. It's fine.
Hank can't hang with it.
Speaker 6 If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen, Hank.
Speaker 1 I will say this for you, Hank. Hank's a baby back bitch.
Speaker 1
Oh, that was mean. Oh, shit.
Do you want to broaden headphones? No.
Speaker 1
It's almost over. Being as big of a baby as you were tonight is a play.
Like, you care a lot.
Speaker 2 I know you care a lot about they never were close i was literally waiting like all right they're gonna get it they're gonna get it back they're gonna get it back they're gonna get it back i don't think they didn't probably didn't lead the game maybe in the first three or four minutes and 13 10 was was the last time uh
Speaker 2 10 10 was the last time it was tied they started to score in the fourth quarter and they gave up possession they gave up uh scores every single time on defense they didn't get
Speaker 1 stops on the on the table it's really bad for the audio well he doesn't have the headphones i know but i know that's why when you tell him but every time he bangs on the table it's really bad for the audio.
Speaker 1 Oh, Max, is this what you wanted? You feel good? Oh, no,
Speaker 1
that little lash out did make me feel good. That's all I wanted.
I wanted one little lash out. Oh,
Speaker 1 he's doing the baby face.
Speaker 6 He's doing a silent boom-boo-boom-boo-boom.
Speaker 1 He's going to be saying the words. He is.
Speaker 1 I will say egg on my face because Joe Embiid has been fantastic. And I did say Joe Embiid's not Giannis.
Speaker 1
And we did say to Max that game three was a must-win. They could maybe win this series after losing game three.
Still yet to be decided. But
Speaker 1 Max might have one on all of us.
Speaker 6 Hey, Big Cat, permission to do this real quick? Yeah.
Speaker 6 I think we should do another lottery ball to try to cheer Hank up. Okay, numbers, 17.
Speaker 1 Ooh. Season 10.
Speaker 9 18. That's a false start.
Speaker 1 That is definitely a false start.
Speaker 6
Oh, no, Hank, I said numbers. You couldn't hear it because you don't have your headphone.
So
Speaker 2 how'd I know it was a false start?
Speaker 1 How'd you know it was a false start?
Speaker 2 Because Big Hat didn't say that. Numbers.
Speaker 1 17. 17.
Speaker 1 18.
Speaker 1 16. He beat us.
Speaker 1 One.
Speaker 10 Six. 20.
Speaker 1
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, does this count? Yeah, it counts.
This counts.
Speaker 11 Also, self-reported violation, I guess me and Billy technically had false starts, too.
Speaker 6 Okay. 76.
Speaker 1 All right, so, Billy, you have to.
Speaker 6
No, I said numbers on that one. I took it upon myself.
I requested permission to say numbers so that Hank couldn't hear.
Speaker 1 Yeah,
Speaker 1 he called.
Speaker 1 All right, yeah, that counts. Can people
Speaker 1 do it?
Speaker 2 Anyone can say numbers?
Speaker 1
We'll do it. No, no, we'll do it.
It's good to know. No, it's good to know.
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 A lot of chaos.
Speaker 1
It's chaos. We will do another lottery ball before Hot C Cool Trump.
Okay? No, this is. Yeah, we will.
We will. We will.
For Hank.
Speaker 1 What?
Speaker 6 Hank's so rattled he doesn't even want another chance to win.
Speaker 1
It would be crazy if Hank wants to. We will do another lottery ball.
You know what? You know what?
Speaker 1 Bad idea.
Speaker 6 Bad idea on my part. I no longer think we should do another lottery ball.
Speaker 1 Okay, all right.
Speaker 12 I don't want to do another 19.
Speaker 1 All right, Hank has 17. 18.
Speaker 1 20.
Speaker 6 18.
Speaker 1 Okay. Hank, Jake got 18.
Speaker 6 16. Are your headphones on?
Speaker 1 One.
Speaker 1 Imagine if they lose on Thursdays, it'd be like 10 times worse.
Speaker 1 I'll do six. PFT, what'd you guess?
Speaker 6 16.
Speaker 1 This is official? Yeah, it's official.
Speaker 1 come on hank
Speaker 1 come on hank
Speaker 1 come on hank
Speaker 1 oh 84.
Speaker 1 still a loser still a loser well it's worth big cow was definitely rooting for you there i was i was rooting for you that might have been the first time that might have been the first time he was actually rooting for you because that would have been all-time part of my take moment just put your headphones back on
Speaker 1 he won't do it this is great
Speaker 1 All right.
Speaker 1
Yeah, Joel Mbeat's been fantastic. Tyrese Maxie was incredible as well.
And
Speaker 1 it remains true that PJ Tucker, like, if you look at the box score, PJ Tucker never looks like he does much.
Speaker 1 But if you watch the game, it's crazy how hard he crashes the glass and how he's like in every single play.
Speaker 6 Yeah, and I also think that Celtics defenders, they're always thinking about him. Right.
Speaker 6 Even when he's not setting a screen, they're all in the back of their head, they're like, what if PJ's beside me right now? And that does, that does affect you.
Speaker 1 It's, it's weird that like you can't, you can't leave him, he can hit the corner three, so you can't leave him fully alone for that, but you also can't leave him alone because if you lose him in rotation, like he will go crash the boards and get a rebound.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 6 Yeah. And Joellen Beat had a couple of really nice defensive plays.
Speaker 6 I wasn't able to watch the game with you guys, unfortunately, tonight, but every time he does something cool on defense, I just think to myself, how loud is Max screaming? Get that shit out of here.
Speaker 6 So loud.
Speaker 1
So he was like, this guy's incredible. Did you see it? Like the way he hopped and then he did it.
He was, yeah, he was very excited about that.
Speaker 6 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.
Speaker 6 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.
Speaker 6 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo style chicken paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.
Speaker 6 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.
Speaker 1 I think the Lakers might win the NBA title, PFT.
Speaker 1 I mean, it's tough to stop Lonnie Walker.
Speaker 6 Lonnie Walker is a fucking monster. What a fourth quarter by him.
Speaker 1
15 points. 15 points in the fourth quarter.
These games are tough to stay up for, and then you have a Lonnie Walker fourth quarter. And
Speaker 1 as much as I don't like LeBron, Lonnie Walker's story is an amazing story. And
Speaker 1 you have to root for a guy like that who got, he was, you know, starter at the beginning of the season, got injured, fell out of the full rotation, and then has a moment like that.
Speaker 1 Like, could not miss. It became a Steph Curry versus Lonnie Walker showdown in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 And it feels like the Lakers, with Anthony Davis, if he's playing at his best, LeBron doesn't have have to be the best player.
Speaker 1 And then they have like a bunch of really good role players that can all step up in big moments. They've had Austin Reeves, Lonnie Walker, Rui Hachimura, like D'Angelo Russell.
Speaker 1 They're just tough. And I am officially on scared that LeBron might win another title watch.
Speaker 6 Yeah, so it's tough to stop all those guys and Kobe at the same time because I don't know if you saw RG3's tweet recapping the entire ordeal.
Speaker 1 Oh, no.
Speaker 6 But RG3 said Lonnie Walker's performance in the fourth quarter was out of this world.
Speaker 6
The last Lakers player to score 15 or more points off the bench in the fourth quarter of a playoff game was Kobe Bryant 26 years ago in 1997. Lonnie is 24 years old.
We know it was you, Bean.
Speaker 6
We miss you. Wow.
So, and then, and then, if that wasn't evidence enough, the fact that it was Lonnie's 24 years old, same number as Kobe,
Speaker 6 he also did
Speaker 6 1997, he broke that down. One plus nine plus nine plus 7 equals 26.
Speaker 6
2 plus 6 equals 8, which is Kobe's other number. 2 minus 6 equals negative 4, which is Lonnie Walker IV's number.
That doesn't make sense, RG3.
Speaker 6 And then 24, Kobe's number and Lonnie Walker's age at the same time.
Speaker 6 So I think we can all agree that Kobe Bryant actually won that game for the Lakers, not Lonnie Walker.
Speaker 1 Yeah, he was inside of Lonnie Walker's body, and
Speaker 1 that was Kobe Bryant out there.
Speaker 6 Yeah, but it was fun to watch Lonnie Walker do that and forth. It seems like the Lakers do have guys that just come out of nowhere, and all the Warriors need.
Speaker 6 Maybe Jordan Poole could not suck occasionally.
Speaker 1 So he sucks. And it sucks for him.
Speaker 1
I'm having major stomach issues. Hank's having major stomach issues.
Go ahead. When you come back, will you promise to put on your headphones again? Actually, he has not replied to me.
Speaker 1 He didn't replied.
Speaker 6 Well, he's got Hank's going.
Speaker 1 I would like Max to take that spot. Max, you want to sit in Hank's spot?
Speaker 12 No, he's shaking his head.
Speaker 1 He's got to work the soundboard.
Speaker 1 He wants to work. Then Jake can.
Speaker 1
So he's shaking him off too. I'm getting shakeoffs everywhere.
So, PFT,
Speaker 1 Jordan Poole sucks, and it sucks for Jordan Poole to suck. Follow me along here.
Speaker 1 It sucks for Jordan Poole to suck because every time he sucks, people just bring up the fact that Draymond Green knocked him out. They're like, oh, this probably wasn't good for
Speaker 1 team chemistry. So it's like one thing to suck, but then also to suck so bad that everyone's like, hey, remember that time you got knocked out? That's extra suck.
Speaker 6 Yeah, at least Steve Kerr bounced back after Michael Jordan punched him in the face. Yeah.
Speaker 6
And people are like, yeah, we respect Steve Kerr now because he fought back from getting emasculated by his own teammate. But yeah, Jordan Poole, he just, all he has to do is just not suck.
Yeah.
Speaker 6 If Jordan Poole can figure out a way to not suck, then the Warriors should win the series. But unfortunately, he sucks.
Speaker 1 I mean, last year in their, like, I think the first round and also in the title against the Celtics, like that, he was, remember, he'd have those spurts where he'd just be on fire, and that's what the Warriors are badly missing.
Speaker 1 I mean, they're playing Moses Moody and Gary Payton Jr., like, that, like, Jordan Poole can't even get on the court. And it's, it's crazy to watch.
Speaker 1 And as good as Steph was, he has a triple-double, I think, scoring like 37 points.
Speaker 1 We do have to, like, say that that end sequence when he missed two shots in a row, and then Draymond, like, Draymond was concussed. He actually was concussed.
Speaker 1 He hit his head so fucking hard in the second quarter, but Draymond just driving the lane and then just throwing it to no one.
Speaker 1 And then you get a jump ball and Steph grabs the ball and throws it out of bounds with two seconds left.
Speaker 1 We would make fun of anyone else for doing that.
Speaker 1 So we have to say that Steph Curry, that was pretty bad late game execution by the Warriors where they felt like they had that game and they completely blew it.
Speaker 6
He had a timeout too, right? Yeah, they had a timeout. The Warriors had a timeout.
Steph Curry got the ball, fell down on the ground. They won the jump ball, which was crazy.
Speaker 6
Or at least Steph grabbed the jump ball after Anthony Davis tipped it. So they had the ball.
They had an opportunity to score, and then he just forgot the situation, didn't call a timeout.
Speaker 6 Draymond had a couple of those possessions where he gets ahead of steam going down the court, and you can tell that he's out of control by the time he hits half court, and that he's just going to drive it directly at the baseline.
Speaker 6 Now, this looked like it was a setup play at the end of the game where they were trying to get the ball to Draymond, who was then supposed to do something besides whatever the fuck he did with it.
Speaker 6 I can't imagine that was the design play that they were trying to run. But he sometimes gets the ball going at the baseline and just, you know, he's not going to stop.
Speaker 6 He's going to keep running full steam ahead.
Speaker 1 You know what it is, I think?
Speaker 1 He has a little bit of Ben Simmons not wanting to go to the foul line in him, where late in the game, he's like, he'll drive, and you know, he's not shooting because he doesn't want to get fouled and go to the line.
Speaker 1 So he kind of runs out of options because the defense knows that and they can they you know like they're able to close all the passing lanes in those moments being like he's probably not going to shoot because he doesn't want to get fouled and he doesn't want to go to the line and it makes it that much harder for the Warriors to execute late.
Speaker 6
Yeah, he ends up playing chicken with the baseline. Right.
And the baseline usually wins that matchup.
Speaker 1 Yeah. So
Speaker 1 I do expect the Warriors to win game
Speaker 1
five. Yeah, five.
Game five on Wednesday night. I think I actually might make it my game of the month, but I just don't know.
Speaker 1 Like, they are at the point now where they need Steph to do a triple-double, and they need Clay.
Speaker 1 They need Clay to somehow be old Clay where he hits, you know, five threes in a quarter or something like that to have a fighting chance in this series because it doesn't feel like they're getting much from anyone else.
Speaker 6 I saw an insult stat that I think ESPN threw out there yesterday about Steph Curry. He's 0 for 12 on go-ahead shots with 45 seconds or left,
Speaker 6
45 seconds or less left in the fourth quarter and overtime. Damn.
So he's never hit a shot like that.
Speaker 6 And that does go back to the Kevin Love, Anthony Davis, big man putting the clamps on you on the outside.
Speaker 6 I suspect that they chose that stat because he probably has several go-ahead shots with like 46 and 47 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Right.
Speaker 6 But still, he's never been a buzzer beater guy for whatever reason. But again,
Speaker 6 Steph Curry is not the reason why they're losing these games.
Speaker 1
Yeah, no, definitely not. Hank, we're talking about the Lakers.
You want to chime in?
Speaker 1 I don't think LeBron's even the fourth best player on that team.
Speaker 2 I've talked about it on this show before, but as much as I love watching my teams, I love rooting against LeBron even more. And
Speaker 2 I've had some bad experiences doing that. And last night,
Speaker 2 it just is bad. Like, because I hate the Warriors, and I hate how the Celtics were in close games versus the Warriors in the finals and couldn't close them out.
Speaker 2 And then I'm watching this game last night, and it's like, this is the Warriors. Like,
Speaker 2 they're going to win.
Speaker 2 And then they miss all the shots they were making against Celtics. Raymond Green is making, I mean, that was the worst end of possession I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 2 I don't think they're going to beat the Nuggets, though.
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay.
So you're holding on to the Nuggets.
Speaker 2 If it's the Suns,
Speaker 1 who knows? Yeah.
Speaker 1
Okay. Oh, PFT took off his headphones.
Sorry, I took my my headphones off.
Speaker 6 I didn't hear any of that. I have to just assume Hank was going, oh, my ego is so tied into Boston sports success that when they crumble in front of my face, I don't know what else to do.
Speaker 6 Is that what you said? Was I close?
Speaker 1 Sure.
Speaker 1 I'm enjoying this show very much. Very, very much.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 1 Nick's Heat, Julius Randall, is so bad.
Speaker 1 He really is like, he's so bad. He's so...
Speaker 1 There were so many times where he was like, either he'd be like fade away three or just like lackadaisical pass.
Speaker 1 And then after the game, he said, maybe the Heat just want it more, which I don't think that's going to go over well in the New York crowd. Probably not.
Speaker 1 I can't figure out what Julius Randall does well.
Speaker 6 He's the kind of player that when he plays poorly, you're like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. He doesn't look like he's very good at basketball.
Speaker 6 But then when he goes off, which he does from time to time, you're like, How the fuck did that happen? But he goes off enough to the point where it's confusing.
Speaker 6
But when I watch him play and he's not playing well, it's like, well, yeah, no shit. I don't think that he's very good.
He just, he's a really streaky player, I guess.
Speaker 1 But
Speaker 1
he's injured. He's a little injured, which you got to give him.
I mean, who knows how injured? But yeah, you're right. He's streaky.
And I would say he has a nice spin move when it's working.
Speaker 1 And he can, when he wants to
Speaker 1 guard, he can guard multiple positions.
Speaker 1 But he like like
Speaker 6 talk about bad body language like i think tibbs just left him out there to foul out like he he had his fifth foul with it was like felt like nine minutes left he's like nah i just just fucking end this get go foul out like we'll move on put an obi topping yeah that was his punishment is making him play more yeah that's what tibbs was going for there actually mike greenberg had an interesting take he said that uh the heat were beating the knicks because miami is too hot oh and that that only affects the knicks for some reason They go down there and it's hot.
Speaker 6 And I actually kind of understand what he's saying because we were just down in Miami and we know how Miami is where it does kind of suck to be outside.
Speaker 6 But Greeny was saying that that's the reason why the Knicks are losing the series just because just because of the sun.
Speaker 1 Sun is too hot in Miami. And the heat, I mean, they're just good, Jake.
Speaker 11 Yeah, they're solid. And Jimmy didn't even go off
Speaker 11 by Jimmy's standards.
Speaker 6 But completely, yeah, hit me.
Speaker 11
Stay tuned. Store at Barcelosports.com.
A little teaser for later in the show.
Speaker 10 But yeah, I mean, I do agree with Julius Randle.
Speaker 11 The Heat did not win that game. The Knicks lost it.
Speaker 1
Yeah. And they were just awful down the stretch.
Yeah. They're not.
Turns out they're probably not a very good team. And they beat a worse Cavs team.
Speaker 6 But the series is not over.
Speaker 11 Back to the garden tonight.
Speaker 1 See what happens. Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 6 Also, Jalen Brunson is hurt too.
Speaker 1 Yeah. We should mention that.
Speaker 6 No, they're not playing at 100%.
Speaker 8 So is Tyler Hero.
Speaker 1
Yeah, so is Tyler Hero and so is Jimmy Butler. And, I mean, what was it? It was something like seven offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter for the Heat.
It was just...
Speaker 11 Yeah, they had a bunch.
Speaker 1
They did want it more. Like, I guess Julius Randall should get credit.
Yeah, no, he wasn't. He's not wrong.
Speaker 1 You just never hear a player say that. Hank is physically in pain right now.
Speaker 2 My stomach is shammed.
Speaker 1 I know how you're feeling.
Speaker 6
This is Lamar Jackson. That's the worst.
This is...
Speaker 1 It's just the Celtics have just ruined you.
Speaker 1 I'm sorry for making fun of you, you, Hank.
Speaker 1
No, I'm not. All right, you didn't fall for that.
Max is ready to jump on that and be like, stop that.
Speaker 1 I was just also going to apologize for gloating.
Speaker 1 There you go. That was nice.
Speaker 6 Yeah, Hank, I'd like to apologize too.
Speaker 1 Thanks.
Speaker 6
I was going to call you Marcus. I was going to call you Marcus Shark, but I didn't.
The fact that I thought about it, I'd like to apologize.
Speaker 1 He doesn't have his headphones in.
Speaker 2 Don't lead your brain to science.
Speaker 1
All right, so Thursday night, we are going to. Oh, you're, you're really, he's really lashing out now.
Yeah.
Speaker 6 Go shit somewhere, poop boy.
Speaker 1
Um, all right, so Thursday night, we will stay up for all the games. We've been up a lot.
Uh, we're gonna do a little choose your own adventure for Nuggets, sons.
Speaker 1
The Nuggets, right now, it's in the second quarter. They're up eight.
Uh,
Speaker 1 PFD, you want to start? What means, did he fart on the way out? Did he crop test? I think so. Oh, no.
Speaker 6 What a piece of shit.
Speaker 1 He's the worst.
Speaker 1 I think the Nuggets are going to win by five.
Speaker 1 Okay, I think they're going to win by 12.
Speaker 6
I think it's going to get ugly late. I don't think Devin Booker can keep up the pace that he's been on.
So it's going to be gross. Booker might even get in foul trouble.
Speaker 6
The Suns have no bench, and they're fucked when he's out. So I like Nuggets by 12.
Boom.
Speaker 1 Okay. I also think Michael Porter is going to go off for 30.
Speaker 1
He's got 14 right now. He's got 14 right now.
So that's a little bit of cheating.
Speaker 1 30. But yeah,
Speaker 1 we will be
Speaker 1 potting late on Thursday night
Speaker 1 for any games that could decide a series. Anything else, PFD? We talk all hockey with Biz, so we could just
Speaker 1 leave that. Should we do one more lottery ball now that Hank has left?
Speaker 1
Yeah, sure. Okay, Hank, you ever gotten this? Oh, he's not here.
He's pooping his brains out.
Speaker 1 All right.
Speaker 1 Number 17.
Speaker 1
Oh, Max got 17. 18.
Is this official? Yeah, this is official. Wow.
Yeah. Number two for Hank.
Okay. I'll do six because that's probably what he would have guessed if he didn't get it.
17.
Speaker 6 I'll go 99. Okay.
Speaker 1 This is official. So count this as Hank's not getting this.
Speaker 6 I hope. I hope 17 pops up.
Speaker 1 Here, let me call him real quick and see if he wants to do a number because that would actually be funnier if he got it when he wasn't even here.
Speaker 1 This has been a great show.
Speaker 1 Hey,
Speaker 1 what number do you want? 17 already got taken.
Speaker 1 Are you there, Hank?
Speaker 1 Hank?
Speaker 13 He's going to put the phone up to 40.
Speaker 1
40? Okay, good guess. All right.
You want to stay on the line for it?
Speaker 1 Sure. All right.
Speaker 1 I'm actually rooting for him to get this
Speaker 1 54.
Speaker 1 Damn, Hank.
Speaker 1 54.
Speaker 1 That's tough.
Speaker 1 Damn. All right.
Speaker 6 Oh,
Speaker 6 how many minutes a day do you think Hank spends actually just thinking about numbers?
Speaker 1 Oh, every day. Every day.
Speaker 1 All right.
Speaker 6
Oh, shout out Alex Caruso. Yeah.
First team all defense, NBA. First,
Speaker 6 how should I say this? He's the first Italian American
Speaker 6 to win that award in like 40 years.
Speaker 1 Kobe Bryant,
Speaker 6 yeah, pervert.
Speaker 1 Okay, we have a great rest of the show. PFC's back in studio for Hot Seat, Cool, Throwing for Biz, and we got some big-time FAQs from the listeners, so let's kick it back to ourselves.
Speaker 3 The Pro Football Football Show is presented by the Chevy Silverado.
Speaker 4 Built for the hustle, ready for the game. Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.
Speaker 4 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.
Speaker 4 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.
Speaker 1 Hot seat cool thrown. Henry.
Speaker 2
My hot seat is Will Levis, unfortunately. Oh, no.
It's not really. He's not on the hot seat, but it's more just insult to injury.
Post-draft, there's been a lot of articles and reports.
Speaker 2 People have talked to owners, and it's basically come out. The Colts said they would have taken him if Richardson wasn't available.
Speaker 2
The Titans said they would have taken him at 11 if Skoronski wasn't there. The Ravens probably would have taken him at 22 if they hadn't had Lamar.
And the Panthers asked,
Speaker 2 he said, you thought highly of all three QBs. And he said, no, we thought highly of all four QBs.
Speaker 6 I kind of like that, though. If you're an NFL team and you can always just throw out there, like, we wanted to take this guy on draft night.
Speaker 6 Nobody will remember that if he ends up stinking in like three years.
Speaker 6 But in the chance that he's good, you can always point back and be like, We actually had him, we were going to take him at number 11.
Speaker 6 Before it just went different, yeah, that's what a lot of people did with Lamar, even though Lamar fell like real far.
Speaker 6 Like, Sean Payton, every couple of months, would be like, you know, I stood on the table for Lamar. I mean, we had Bruce Arians on the couch, and he was like, I want Patrick Bahomes.
Speaker 1 We're going to get Patrick Bahomes, right? Yeah, just get it out right away. That way, everyone can look back.
Speaker 1 And when they do the Google, you know, search, you're like, oh, yeah, they actually said they wanted him right after the draft.
Speaker 6 Yeah. And for me, it's real because every quarterback, I just want a new quarterback every year because it's fun.
Speaker 1 It's like a shiny new toy.
Speaker 6
Yeah, exactly. So every year I'm like, I wanted that guy.
Like I won Will Levis and Hinden Hooker this year.
Speaker 6 Last year, I think I also said I won Malik Willis, but nobody really remembers that. So we're just going to pretend that never existed.
Speaker 1 Never said that.
Speaker 6
Never said that. Never happened.
But it's fun to want a quarterback and to say that you want a quarterback with having no real consequences when you don't get that. Yes.
Speaker 1 So I actually, for Will Levis, it kind of sucks to hear this, but also kind of, you know, maybe softens it a little bit to be like, hey, they weren't just passing on me because I put Mayo in my coffee.
Speaker 2 Yeah, but the money side of it puts a little fire in your belly. You can.
Speaker 1
And you can also, I mean, we're Spin Zone Masters on this show. He's a second-round pick now.
He will get to his free agency year faster.
Speaker 1 And he could get paid more money if he has a really good, long career. Jalen Hurts just got paid big, big bucks.
Speaker 1 So that, you know, spin it that way.
Speaker 6 No state income tax either. Yeah.
Speaker 2 Then my cool throne, our darling Jake, Parcel Sports, broadcasting future.
Speaker 2 Jake and the foreplay guys are going to be broadcasting a corn ferry tour in June. Hell yeah.
Speaker 1
Congrats. July 27th.
July 30th.
Speaker 11
Very excited. Just outside of Chicago.
I think you guys might be involved, too.
Speaker 1
I'm sure Hank will be. Yeah.
Definitely Hank will be involved.
Speaker 2 It's a qualifying setup for the Corn Ferry.
Speaker 12 I've got to dive into that.
Speaker 6 Are you thinking that you can make the Corn Ferry tour, Hank?
Speaker 2 You never know.
Speaker 6 How sick would that be? Well, based on my limited experience playing PGA Tour 2K, it's not easy.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 You're going to have to at least test out the course.
Speaker 11 Oh, yeah. I plan on testing it out, too.
Speaker 1 Okay. Jake, do you have your silent
Speaker 1 whisper, gymnast whisper ready?
Speaker 11 Yeah, I mean, we did the mini golf broadcast in February. Maybe that was good practice, but I can't get excited for this.
Speaker 1 Okay. Unless there's a hole in one.
Speaker 11 If there's a hole in one, you should be able to go crazy.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 2 And the tournament is presented by Old National Bank, which is, which I just thought was cool.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 6 That's a good
Speaker 1 history. Strong name for it.
Speaker 2 The old national.
Speaker 1 That was George Washington's bank.
Speaker 6 That bank would never go broke.
Speaker 1 Yep.
Speaker 6 They would punch SBF in the face if you walked in the door. Yes.
Speaker 1 Billy, why don't you raise this out of here?
Speaker 6 What's the Corn Ferry tour?
Speaker 1
It's the tour below the PGA tour. Okay.
So like guys play in the Corn Ferry League. Yeah.
And if they play baseball, certain guys get
Speaker 2 promoted.
Speaker 1 They get their PGA card after playing in the Corn Ferry.
Speaker 12 If someone wins this, maybe they can get elevated.
Speaker 2 Those are the best stories. Yeah.
Speaker 6 If you get, what, five wins on the Corn Ferry tour, then you get your card?
Speaker 2
There's so many ways to play tournaments in the PGA. It's very cool.
Like the qualifying system, it's not like other sports where it's like you just have to go up a certain rank.
Speaker 2 There's so many different ways to possibly qualify to play on the PGA tour.
Speaker 1 Sounds like you're getting some ideas.
Speaker 2 I mean, I'm thinking about it.
Speaker 6 You can stick with the Corn Fairy. I'm all about the live.
Speaker 1 I'm just going to make it to the PGA tour.
Speaker 6 It's live or die for me.
Speaker 11 It's going to be great.
Speaker 1 Yeah, it's going to be awesome.
Speaker 7 Prep starts now.
Speaker 11 Okay. Hole one to part five.
Speaker 1 Yeah, what's the distance?
Speaker 11 Handicap is a seven. It's one of the longest holes on the course, depends, but you can reach it in two if you're a longer hitter.
Speaker 1 If you're not a pussy hitter, what course is it?
Speaker 11 Oh, Glenn View. It's in Glenview.
Speaker 12 Okay.
Speaker 1 Okay. Actually,
Speaker 1 Speak the Devil here.
Speaker 7 Glen Club.
Speaker 6 Okay.
Speaker 6 You know who runs PR for the Corn Fairy Tour?
Speaker 6
It's Tad from the Jaguars. Remember him? He was a PR guy.
He just hit me up. He said, let's get this broadcast.
Handshake.
Speaker 7 Nice. He's excited, Jake.
Speaker 1 Let's get it.
Speaker 1 That was like a private conversation. I don't think anyone who's listening knows who Tad is.
Speaker 6 No, no, no. Tad is.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 6
People around the league know Tad. Trust me.
This is a podcast.
Speaker 1
But the people listening. When you said that, I was like, who, what famous person runs the PR? Tad.
Tad is. Tad.
Tad. Cool.
Tad's got a great name.
Speaker 6 He's the best Tad that you'll ever meet. Yeah, no, he's a great dude.
Speaker 2 Didn't he get us in the pool?
Speaker 1
Yeah, he got us in the pool. Love it.
So there you go.
Speaker 6 Tad. Is that short for Tadworth?
Speaker 6 I don't think so.
Speaker 1 I think it's Taduel.
Speaker 6 Taderick? Yeah.
Speaker 1 Tad Tad. Tadley?
Speaker 6 Tad.
Speaker 1
But I was actually thinking about this. I know we just talked about the playoffs and everything, but Lonnie should be Lonald.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 Or should. Lonnie should be Lonald.
Speaker 6 That should be his name. I was thinking Lonathan.
Speaker 1 Lonathan's good, too.
Speaker 2 I think it's Tadwick.
Speaker 1 Tadwick. No, that's Chadwick.
Speaker 1 Tadley?
Speaker 1 Taddithin?
Speaker 14 It's probably like Theodore.
Speaker 6 Taddison.
Speaker 7 What is Tad? I think.
Speaker 11 Is it Ted?
Speaker 1 No.
Speaker 6 No, it can't be. That would be radical.
Speaker 1 Tad is a male-given name or shortened version of Thaddeus or Thomas.
Speaker 1 And then there's also one that's this looks Irish. T-A-D-H-G.
Speaker 1 Who the fuck knows how to say that?
Speaker 1 Thag?
Speaker 1 Be real pronounced. Be careful.
Speaker 6 Yeah, that was not Mike Tyson on the show. That was just me saying that.
Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 1 Hot seat cooler on PFT.
Speaker 6
My hot seat is Max. Oh.
Max is on the hot seat because you know what's going on this week.
Speaker 1 What?
Speaker 6 The Westminster Kittle Club show.
Speaker 1 Oh.
Speaker 6
The dog show. Oh, no.
Here in New York. Uh, where you remember who won last year?
Speaker 1 All-time winner last year. Which remind me just a Bulldog, wasn't it?
Speaker 6
No, it was Trumpet, the Bloodhound. Oh, yeah.
He was a great, great Bloodhound. First Bloodhound to ever win.
I wish that they would let the dogs defend their titles. Yeah.
They should come back.
Speaker 6 You should have to beat the dog to be the dog. Yeah.
Speaker 1 So, yeah, Trumpet's out this year, but they're out at Arthur Ash stadium yeah we should be like outside this year yeah we got invited um and i was like oh for like you know credentials so we can go behind and they're like no they just wanted to give you tickets i was like no thanks yeah no far way to go to see a dog i think we also got invited for credentials and stuff like that too no i asked they said no oh i got oh you got credentials i saw a different
Speaker 6 tad hooked up all the hookups i no i saw different i thought that we were invited to go out there as because remember that's where hank and i got arrested back in uh 2017 oh at msg yeah at MSG. Yeah.
Speaker 6
So they're out at Arthur Ashe Stadium right now. They had the agility drills last night, which are always fun to watch.
When you see the corgis go through the little sticks,
Speaker 6 doing the two paws, two paws, two paws. I want to see just a full dog combine.
Speaker 1 I also like when they just take a shit.
Speaker 14 That's funny.
Speaker 1
Yeah. When dogs are like, I got to go right now.
Yep. That's like throwing a pick six.
Speaker 6 Or when the judge just like gets right up in them, like a little too close, and the judge is enjoying it a little too much, you know?
Speaker 6 There's some freaks that are dog show judges, some absolute freaks. Yes.
Speaker 12 Okay, and your cool throne?
Speaker 6
My cool throne is Jim Ursay. Ooh.
Because Jim Ursay
Speaker 6 is taking some matters into his own hands.
Speaker 6 There was a report that came out two days ago that the Commanders last year contacted every quarterback in the league, including Patrick Mahomes, to see if they could get them on the Commanders.
Speaker 6 And they allegedly also reached out either to Andrew Luck or to somebody with the Colts to see if Andrew Luck would want to come back. Jim Ursay read this, or somebody told him about it, on ESPN.com.
Speaker 6 And then Jim Ursay tweeted out that this would be clear tampering violation and that he wants the NFL to look into allegations of tampering probably just to fuck Dan Snyder over one more time on his way out the door yeah which I'm I'm all in favor of I think they should probably look into arresting him and putting him in jail for that if that happened
Speaker 6 the Washington football team like that actually was a good thing they were doing yeah why not reach out to every single quarterback yeah I don't mind it at all it's good like yeah everyone you should call Andrew Luck every offseason just be like hey you feel like playing football yeah make them hang up are you done with architecture that's how deals get done so I don't I don't hate it.
Speaker 6 But
Speaker 6 what's the punishment for tampering if it's like
Speaker 1 the Dolphins
Speaker 1
got a pick taken away? Yeah. So it could be severe.
It's usually a fine and a pick.
Speaker 6 The Cardinals did too, right? Yeah.
Speaker 6 Move Max's guy.
Speaker 6
You don't want a pick taken away. I don't want that.
So just we'll reach a compromise, just arrest Dan Snyder. Okay.
And I think that would be fine. I think that would satisfy all parties.
Speaker 6 That's perfect.
Speaker 1 All right. My hot seat
Speaker 1 is our friend Bob Huggins.
Speaker 12 Yeah. He shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 6 Shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 1
He shouldn't have said that. He went on.
Why did he say that?
Speaker 6 He said it twice.
Speaker 1 He did say it twice.
Speaker 6 He shouldn't have said that. Shouldn't have it, Bobby Cole.
Speaker 1 Come on. We love you, Huggy Bear.
Speaker 6 He can't use that word. No.
Speaker 1 That's also like...
Speaker 1
You couldn't use that word for a very long time. No.
That's not like, we're not on like a word transition time. Yeah.
Where it's like, well, you know, he's an old guy.
Speaker 1 Like, no, that word's not good for a long time.
Speaker 6
I don't know if Bob can even play the PC card. Like, oh, the world's gone crazy.
No. I can't even go on the radio.
Speaker 1 I think he actually, like, he released an apology immediately, which I respect that because it is good to, like, just say, like, I really fucked up here. Because you really can't say much more.
Speaker 1 I hope this doesn't get him fired,
Speaker 1 but you can't say that
Speaker 1 on the radio or in life.
Speaker 6 Yeah,
Speaker 6 when does Castellanos play again? Yeah.
Speaker 1 What are you going to say, Billy? I mean, you are.
Speaker 14 Can some guys just get the grandpa card?
Speaker 6
No, I don't think so. I don't think Huggins.
Yeah, the grandpa card, I think, could have been played maybe in the late 90s, early 2000s on that one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 I don't think
Speaker 1 this one works.
Speaker 6 Unless Bob Huggins was like, you know what? I'm gay.
Speaker 1 Yeah. I can say it.
Speaker 6 That's true. In that case,
Speaker 1 that might play. Yeah.
Speaker 14 If he kisses a man. Yeah, if he kisses
Speaker 1
Michael Scott. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but I wish he hadn't said that.
Speaker 6 Shouldn't say that. If he makes out with Mick Cronin
Speaker 6 at the center circle,
Speaker 6 I think we can put that in the past and move forward.
Speaker 1 Also, the radio hosts, like, they're like, isn't Bob Huggins the best? Right after it is like, what?
Speaker 1 Like, it was just a very bizarre thing all around.
Speaker 6 If you have Bob Huggins on the air after 11.30 a.m.,
Speaker 6 you have to be prepared for something like this to potentially happen.
Speaker 1
Yeah, so I wish he hadn't said that. Not good.
Don't say that. I do, I'm not big into like, this guy should lose his job, but the whole thing sucked.
Yeah. He shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 6
Since it's West Virginia, they might not care as much. Yeah.
Yeah. They might say and do all the right things for now, and then they'll be like, we've put Bob through.
Speaker 6 He did the old, like when Riley Cooper went to go to seek treatment
Speaker 6 for saying what he said.
Speaker 9 For saying slurs.
Speaker 1
Yes. All right.
My cool throne is the Chicago Blackhawks. We're going to talk about it with Biz as well, but they won the lottery.
Hank won the lottery.
Speaker 1
He predicted the Blackhawks would win the lottery. Connor Berdard, from everything that I've heard, is next up.
I got a little swept away in the moment. I watched a highlight video.
Speaker 1 There was like a 20-minute highlight video I was watching, and I did buy season tickets. So I hope everyone here likes to go to hockey games because we're going to go to a lot of hockey games.
Speaker 1
I love hockey. I got swept up.
I mean, he looks,
Speaker 1 I know there's a lot of pressure on him, but
Speaker 1 he does feel like a can't miss guy.
Speaker 6 But I've got a trade proposition for you. Okay, put on your GM hat because I'm assuming that the Wizards are going to get Wimbinyama, even though they only have like a 6% chance.
Speaker 6 But let's just just say for this hypothetical, they get him.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 6
I would trade you Wimbinyama for Connor Bedard. Do you accept or no? No.
You don't take that trade.
Speaker 1
Here's why. Because Jerry Reinsdorf is a piece of shit, and he getting Wimpinana would suck.
Like, he would ruin it. He would find a way to ruin it.
I want him to sell the team.
Speaker 1 Once Dan Snyder officially sells a team, we're going to move on to Jerry Reinsdorf for all of our efforts on selling teams.
Speaker 1 No, I mean, I'm very, like, it was the combo of watching it happen.
Speaker 1 Obviously, people thought it was rigged because there was a little bit of a weird thing that happened where they just eliminated the blue jackets before showing the blue jackets.
Speaker 1
And then the Oilers, I was watching the Oilers' national anthem and the pregame and everything. And I got very swept up in it.
And I was like, I'm buying season tickets. Fuck it.
Good. Yeah.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 And we're going to go to a bunch of games.
Speaker 6 I mean, right when it went to commercial break and going into that break, I think it was Kevin Weeks that said, and the Blue Jackets are the first team to move down a spot as the Blackhawks move up.
Speaker 6 I was like, wait, I didn't see that.
Speaker 7 It was very bizarre.
Speaker 6 Where did that come from? And then we came back, and then they did the drawing. So I don't even, did they get to show the Blue Jackets local?
Speaker 1 They did after the commercial.
Speaker 6 After they came back, and then the Blackhawks moved up. And I was like, wait, I thought we already taught what's going on right now.
Speaker 6 At that moment, I was like, this is good for the NHL to have him in Chicago.
Speaker 6 Like, I actually think I'm happy that you got them because having the Blackhawks be good while we're in Chicago is going to be awesome. It's going to be fun to watch.
Speaker 6 But we also got to see an all-time moment together where like 20 years from now, we're going to look back on this night.
Speaker 6
It's going to be part of the lore around Connor Bedard, which is like the NHL rigged the draft for Chicago. Which I'm fine with.
Which, yeah, I mean, don't apologize for
Speaker 6
getting the winning side of this. Yeah, the Ducks.
Ducks.
Speaker 1 Really?
Speaker 6 We're going to have him go be Mike Trout Jr.
Speaker 1 Come on. In Anaheim?
Speaker 6 Come on. No, no, this is a good thing for the NHL, but it's also fun to just be there in a moment in time and know that looking back on it, we're going to be like, I'm going to tell my kids one day.
Speaker 6
Yeah. I'm going to sit Chris down and be like, you know why the Blackhawks just won their fifth in a row? Is because they rigged it for Chicago.
Yeah.
Speaker 6 Also, because the woke NHL wanted to ruin Columbus Day.
Speaker 1 Yes, yes, that's a fact.
Speaker 1 It's, I mean, the Bulls have like a 2% chance, I think, but that would be because now it's two for two, last two drafts, number one pick.
Speaker 2 So I've been giving this some, some, a lot of thought just because the move is happening next month. And it's different in New York because they're
Speaker 2
rivals of Boston teams. I'm going to be a Blackhawks fan, a Cubs fan, Bears.
I will be rooting for all those teams to be successful.
Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm going to
Speaker 1 be more fun when they are.
Speaker 2
People can call me a fake fan, but it's more fun. I've said it about New York a bunch, too, even though they're rivals.
It's more fun living in a city when the sports teams are really good.
Speaker 1 You also are buying stock at the absolute lowest.
Speaker 1
The Chicago sports cannot be worse. They are now back-to-back number one picks.
That means you're a really bad team. The White Sox Sox are an absolute disaster.
Speaker 1
The Cubs are like, they're hanging around. They might make the wild card.
But every team is as bad as it possibly can be. So the only way to go is up.
Turn it around. Or maybe worse.
It is.
Speaker 6
It'll get worse. It's always weird to me that Chicago is in the West.
I always have to remind myself about that.
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah. For hockey.
I mean, remember, Detroit was in the West until a few years ago.
Speaker 6 I thought Chicago was hockey.
Speaker 1 Cowboys NFC East. Yeah.
Speaker 6 Yeah. Arizona used to be in the NFC East.
Speaker 1
That was good. The Tampa Bay Bucks used to be in the NFC Central, which is the north.
Yeah.
Speaker 6 No, I'm very much looking forward to the Black Hawks essentially being good.
Speaker 1
He looks so good. And you guys are going to have to go to a bunch of games.
So I'm not like burning tickets. Like, why'd I do this? I'm ready.
Okay. All right.
Good. Good.
Speaker 1 Billy. Also, wait, real quick.
Speaker 6 If you're the NHL, you should absolutely rig the draft.
Speaker 1
Duh. This is entertainment.
Yes.
Speaker 6
Listen, you're a multi-billion dollar corporation. Do you want your best players to be playing for teams that nobody cares about? Yeah.
No, you don't. You want them in Chicago.
Yeah.
Speaker 6
And like people were saying the NHL doesn't rig the draft. That's why McDavid went to Edmonton.
No, you want Canadian teams to be good, too.
Speaker 10 Yeah.
Speaker 6 That's a historically great franchise.
Speaker 1 Pretty much the only two teams you don't want to be good or don't care about are the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Anaheim Ducks.
Speaker 6 Yeah, I would say the Yotes are probably on that list too, the Coyotes.
Speaker 1
But they're building a new stadium. They are.
So that does count for something.
Speaker 6 And they got Biz loitering around, too.
Speaker 1 Yeah, but Biz will tell us how good Connor Berdard is because everyone says he's incredible.
Speaker 2 I think Columbus could be a kind of a hockey town.
Speaker 1 It could, but we're just saying in terms of the NHL, they don't.
Speaker 1 True. Like it's very clear that the original six is what the NHL, like if they had a dream playoff run, that's what they want.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 6 Columbus, it's a sneaky big city. There are a lot of people there.
Speaker 1 No, I'm not shitting on Columbus. I'm saying the NHL is.
Speaker 6
And I'm sure that they like their blue jackets in Columbus. It's like a sports town.
So, of course, they care about their sports teams.
Speaker 6 But from the business standpoint of the NHL, you should definitely be rigging the draft.
Speaker 6 And if you did rig the draft, you would make sure that your generational talent goes to Chicago and not to Anaheim. Yes.
Speaker 1 Yes.
Speaker 1 Billy.
Speaker 14 My hot seat is everyone in the Northeast and Midwest. We had a very mild winter.
Speaker 1
That's a lot of. That's a lot.
You're talking about the megalopolis. Yeah.
Speaker 14 No, no, not down south.
Speaker 1
Okay. There was a mild.
What about west?
Speaker 14 What about California? Probably to the Mississippi. Okay.
Speaker 14 Some parts of the southeast.
Speaker 6 Okay.
Speaker 7 We had a very mild winter.
Speaker 14 There's a lot of ticks. The winter didn't kill the ticks.
Speaker 9 There's going to be a lot of ticks.
Speaker 14 Tick-borne diseases are no joke.
Speaker 7 You say tick porn?
Speaker 6 Tick-born. It's the tick-borne disease.
Speaker 1 Tick-borne disease.
Speaker 14 Tick-borne diseases.
Speaker 1 Have you been watching tick-porn?
Speaker 1 You did just say tick porn and dick born.
Speaker 6 You just stick your whole head in there and tick porn.
Speaker 14
Yeah, there's this new one, babiosis. Sometimes you might get bit by a tick and just start breaking out in hives every time you eat red meat.
But just be careful out there.
Speaker 9 Do Do tick checks. Get a buddy, get naked, check each other for ticks because it's no joke.
Speaker 1 Now, this is tick porn again.
Speaker 6 Yeah, you just described tick porn. Yeah, it's like it's pretty bad.
Speaker 1 I feel like I've been out in the woods. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 Some type of primal, like monkey
Speaker 2 porn aspect of that that is kind of right up your alley, too.
Speaker 14 Yeah, pick ticks off your friends and eat them like monkeys.
Speaker 1 What do ticks do other than be motherfuckers?
Speaker 6 Well, I mean, it's all about the wolves, man.
Speaker 14 We killed all the wolves, the deer population exploded, and then the tick population population exploded.
Speaker 1 But what do they do? Because I know that they're parasites.
Speaker 6 I think, yeah, but birds eat them.
Speaker 1 Right. Whenever you say, like, let's get rid of this, everyone's like, well, if you got rid of this, then the whales would die, and this would fucking,
Speaker 1 you know, the climate would change. What do ticks do?
Speaker 6 I'll tell you what they do, big cat, is they keep Billy's fertility in check because if it wasn't for ticks and all the weird diseases and rashes he's gotten, there could be untold numbers of Billy footballers running around.
Speaker 1 Can we just like
Speaker 1 ticks?
Speaker 1 What is this?
Speaker 14 I might be wearing a frontline collar this year just because of last season the ticks won.
Speaker 2 Sound like the concussion thing?
Speaker 1 What? All right, here we go. Ticks are a favorite food source for chickens, turkeys, and other ground birds like grouse, a strong and important link in the food chain.
Speaker 1 See, that's they always say the food chain, and it's always bullshit. Because there's no way a chicken, if you gave a chicken chicken or a tick, they would eat the chicken.
Speaker 6 Yeah, they're cannibals or
Speaker 1
corn. If you made the chicken nice, yeah, right.
So, ticks.
Speaker 6 Do you want to be eating chicken that was raised eating ticks? I don't.
Speaker 1 No, I want to eat the chicken that ate chicken. Yeah.
Speaker 6 Double protein. Right.
Speaker 1
That's what you're talking. Yeah.
Yeah. But it's, they always just say the food chain.
Speaker 6
Fuck the food chain. Yeah, I'm anti-tick.
I think as a podcast, we are all anti-tick, right?
Speaker 1 Huge anti-tick. Max?
Speaker 1
No, because ticks kill dogs, so Max is pro-tick. Yeah.
Yeah. I'm done with the dog thing.
Speaker 6 Are you actually mad about the dog thing, Max?
Speaker 1 I actually, last night, I was dog sitting a dog.
Speaker 1
It was nice cuddling. Survive? Yeah, I was cuddling with the dog all night.
I'm a great dog guy. I have pictures to prove.
Okay.
Speaker 14 What type of dog was it?
Speaker 1 Is this like I have a black friend?
Speaker 1 Is this what you're doing right now? That does kind of sound like that.
Speaker 1 You just happened to be with a dog last night that you have pictures with? That happened.
Speaker 6 Look at me hanging out with my cool dog.
Speaker 1 This is awesome.
Speaker 6 Max, you should go to Westminster Kennel Club.
Speaker 1
Yeah. And just so we're clear, Max, you may be done with the dog thing.
We are not.
Speaker 1
Okay. Yeah.
I mean, I know. That's just a fact.
Yeah.
Speaker 6
I mean, there's video evidence. Yeah.
It's not even. I have evidence, too.
It's not, well, you have pictures. We're talking about motion pictures, moving pictures, a video of you ignoring a dog.
Speaker 1 But I have,
Speaker 1 I mean, enough pictures make motion pictures.
Speaker 6 Those could be out of context. We don't know.
Speaker 1 Video could be out of context.
Speaker 1 Video is not out of context. Sounds before you strangle the dog.
Speaker 7 You know what, Max? Wrong.
Speaker 14 Not this weekend, but next weekend, if you babysit my dog.
Speaker 1 No, don't do that. Nope.
Speaker 1 Nope. Nope.
Speaker 7 Then it proves you like dogs.
Speaker 6 Max, there are a lot of pictures of John Wayne Gacy being a funny clown around kids.
Speaker 1 That's true.
Speaker 6 Doesn't show the end of it.
Speaker 1
All right, now I'm John Wayne Gacy. Of dogs.
Dogs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 14 You won't dog sit my dog.
Speaker 1
No. Billy's just wants something for free.
All right, your cool throne.
Speaker 14 My cool throne is former Bills punter Matt Areza. There's been 200 pages of exculpatory evidence that's been released that's kind of cleared his name.
Speaker 1 Yeah, the whole story is fucking bullshit.
Speaker 14 The whole thing's crazy.
Speaker 14
Not going to go into the details, but he got tore down pretty bad. Don't want another Sean Oakman situation.
Hopefully he gets his career back on track.
Speaker 1
I think some team will probably. Punt God.
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6 He is the punt god.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1
It's pretty fucked up. So hopefully he does.
He is on a roster.
Speaker 1 Jake.
Speaker 11 My hot seat is bad football teams.
Speaker 1 I just noticed your shirt, by the way.
Speaker 11 Yeah, that was my cool throw in the barstool store.
Speaker 6 Okay.
Speaker 11 I'm wearing the himy shirt.
Speaker 1 Hanks wearing Celtics. That might be the official end
Speaker 1 of the him. Yeah,
Speaker 1 wait, was it? Was it Ron Butler wearing in the world?
Speaker 1 I mean, it's funny. It's funny, but it's also like, oh, was it
Speaker 6 the Sports Center account last year that said, who's more him? Yeah. I thought it was over then.
Speaker 1 No, him.
Speaker 1 Yeah, him.
Speaker 1 Jake rocking the hemi. I'm just promoting.
Speaker 12 We've got Brickwall Bob.
Speaker 1
Why not go Jimmy Himmler? Oh, wait. No.
This isn't the best promotion
Speaker 1
of our own merch. The Panthers, the Panthers.
We've done better. Yeah, no, I agree.
We've done better. Dude's Himothy McVay.
Speaker 12 White hot playoffs.
Speaker 2 You guys want to describe Jimmy Tross?
Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6
Hank's rocking an awesome shirt. It looks like it's Lucky the Leprechaun just dunking on Ben Franklin.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 That's pretty cool.
Speaker 6 Anti-American, but that's okay.
Speaker 1 Max has Fear the Beard. Some great playoff shirts.
Speaker 8 Sword up arsenalsports.com.
Speaker 1
The Hemi might be growing on me. It's funny.
It is funny. 3-1.
It's one of those shirts that here's the pitch. Here's how I'll do it, Max.
Speaker 1 that him is a shirt you got to buy now because it's going to be a relic in like 20 years like whoa someone's going to be like why do you have a shirt that says him yeah and then you'll be like well you got to understand what 2023 was right yeah everyone was him yeah okay yeah
Speaker 6 i might be using last-minute game time tickets and if i do i might have to rock this to the guard you gotta rock him yeah yeah let them know jake exactly if the when the heat win this series in the next round when come on jake come on jake when they win the series you should have to wear that shirt all series long next series.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 6 Not change it.
Speaker 1 How's the kettle corn going?
Speaker 12 I'm a little behind.
Speaker 1
Oh, interesting. Yeah.
Sounds like it's not the best to eat. No, it is.
Speaker 6
Oh, well, then you should have. But you said all the kettle corn.
Yeah. Yeah.
Sounds like you haven't eaten all the kettle corn.
Speaker 12 I have not eaten all of it.
Speaker 1 Okay. So
Speaker 1 what was your hot seat?
Speaker 11
My hot seat's bad football teams because the NFL announced the announcement to the schedule, and not all teams are guaranteed primetime games. So next episode we'll have the schedule.
Yes.
Speaker 1 And I'm very excited because not all teams will have primetime games. There's going to be teams can have two Thursday night games,
Speaker 1 Black Friday, and there's no Fox CBS. So it just, like, NFC being Fox, CBS being AFC doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 11 Jay Spengles could be on Fox.
Speaker 6 Yeah, they messed around a little bit with that last year. There were a couple of games where I was like, why are, I don't know, the Broncos and the Raiders playing on Fox? This makes no sense to me.
Speaker 6 So it's going to take some getting used to when you see that happen all the time, but at least we've dipped our toes in it, so it's not going to be a total shock.
Speaker 1 I like the Black Friday game, too, because I know that people will make the argument: like the Sunday slate will be weak because there will, you know, there'll be three games on Thursday, one game on Friday, you taking away a bunch of games.
Speaker 1 I kind of like that as like the cooldown for a long Thanksgiving football. Like, having only a few games you have to watch on that Sunday is nice.
Speaker 6
It's nice because that's also big travel day. Yeah, so a lot of people will be able to travel without worrying about missing their game.
Also, it's 500 IQ play by Jeff Bezos in the NFL.
Speaker 6
Make sure people stay home as much as possible on Black Friday. Yeah.
Do their shopping online. That's what they're going for.
Speaker 1 That might be my - one pick of the year, a week of the year, is Thanksgiving week because,
Speaker 1 like, not only the football, but college basketball feast week
Speaker 1
and the food. There's so much.
Yeah, I don't really like it. What do you mean?
Speaker 6
The turtle. I'm not a big eater.
World Cup and Qatar
Speaker 6 has happened at least one time before on that week, too.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 6 True. It's a great spring.
Speaker 11 Friday, we can break down our schedules. Okay.
Speaker 1 Yeah. We're going to break down our schedules.
Speaker 6
I give the schedule makers an A plus for the design. Yeah.
I like the system.
Speaker 1
We'll, we'll maybe draft which weeks. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, we'll draft the best weeks.
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. Um,
Speaker 1 let's go to Biz. Let's talk some hockey with our good friend Paul Bissinet.
Speaker 15 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.
Speaker 15 Only one one Reese's peanut butter lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.
Speaker 15 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.
Speaker 15 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.
Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on our very good friend, Paul Bissinet.
Speaker 1
He hasn't been on for hockey playoffs yet. We thought, let's get this guy on because he's on your TV every single night working marathon shifts, which we want to talk about.
But, Biz,
Speaker 1 we should start with
Speaker 1 you telling me how good Connor Berdard is because obviously that was big news on Monday night. The Blackhawks going from third to one, franchise-altering.
Speaker 13 I saw people tweeting at you like he's already better than Connor McDavid.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Well, I might have asked that question.
I also got a little surprise.
Speaker 13 You got some real bag lickers that follow you on social media.
Speaker 13 You say jump, they'll say, how high, Mr.
Speaker 1 Big Cat.
Speaker 1 I watched a highlight video of him. It was like 10 minutes long, and then I immediately bought season tickets.
Speaker 13 No, that was just game tape from one game.
Speaker 1
Yeah, so I'm in. I bought season tickets.
I'm in. Like, he's, he, is he going to be as good as you're going to get it?
Speaker 13
Well, we know the famous saying. Yeah.
You buy low, sell high. Right.
And it's as low as it can get for the Chicago Blackhawks.
Speaker 13 But just, buddy, the way they're talking about him, it's like getting a Connor McDavid. Like, I mean, who was the guy before him?
Speaker 1 Sidney Crosby, Patrick King.
Speaker 13
Crosby. Yeah.
Yeah. Crosby.
I feel like they spoke about Ovechkin, but like, they're in Russia, right? So you just like really never know.
Speaker 13 But I actually played under 18 against Ovechkin, and I think that he was a year younger than me. And you're like, ah, this guy's a 35-year-old man
Speaker 13 just running around here, shooting the puck harder than I've ever seen. So I was like, this guy's going to come over and light it.
Speaker 13 But as far as they're talking about him, yeah, it should be another Conor McDavid. Did you hear the story about how his shot came to be?
Speaker 1 No.
Speaker 13 Wit was the one who dug it up.
Speaker 13 I guess he like broke his hand in a certain spot at a certain age where the doctor said, hey this is you don't move this like don't get antsy about like stick handling pucks like you can't move your hand because this could like stunt your growth and become a problematic area for you so he literally like he's like a hockey psycho so when the doctor told him that he was like he didn't move his arm but what he did do was he was shooting pucks and he learned how to shoot with just his top hand oh i love that so he was like using his leg leverage so he just but he just like developed strength and a like a flick of the wrist with his top hand that is just like it's like popeye like and it's actually not a bad thing that your bottom hand is very loose and and up and down the shaft very lightly right like just you know and and your bottom hand should always cradle and and that's where the stick handling comes from and the top hand does all the the load and the heaviness so he has this like shot that you know all the big boys who have skated with him because all the hockey nerds always get together in the lab and they travel around skate on the same training rinks in the summer.
Speaker 13 So they have the upper hand and they stay there. Kind of like the, you know, when Jordan used to get these games going and they say his shot is like the best they've ever seen.
Speaker 13
Like it's, it's, it's like insane how he's able, what he's able to do and how he's able to quickly elevate the puck. And he's just, he has a lethal shot.
So
Speaker 13 so it's, it's cool. He's a phenom.
Speaker 1 So what, what other part, like, what would, how do you describe his game? Like his, his attributes, or maybe what is, what is he going to have to work on to be impactful?
Speaker 1 Because he's going to play right away, I would assume.
Speaker 13 Yeah, so I would say that he's like highly skillful, like great hockey sense, like good hockey brain, good playmaking ability too.
Speaker 13 So he's a good passer, but you just always question whether a guy that size, and I would say that I think that he's he's fairly quick, but you never know how it transfers to when you get to like NHL speed because he's only played junior.
Speaker 1 Right.
Speaker 13 So you always just question like, will he have that jump jump in the NHL, which when you lose that, those passing lanes close down a little bit more and, you know, your shots,
Speaker 13
your shot is heavy for junior and beating goalies like crazy like that. But now you got to beat NHL goalies who are way better than junior goalies.
So you just never know if it transfers over.
Speaker 13 And then the last aspect would be size. He's like 5'9.
Speaker 13 So it's fucking,
Speaker 13 did you say nice?
Speaker 1 No, he's 5'9.
Speaker 6 He's perfectly average size.
Speaker 1 But in today's NHL, you can get away with it.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 13 I would say that you, buddy, if you're going to be a first-line center in the National Hockey League, you usually want to be 5'11, 6' around that minimum.
Speaker 6
Okay, first of all, don't buddy me. Second of all, you got the skates on.
That gets you right up to six feet.
Speaker 13 You're an idiot.
Speaker 13 They all get the three inches, buddy. That's a good one.
Speaker 1
His skates are a little bit. He's 5'10.
He's listed at 5'10. But wouldn't you say it is fair to say?
Speaker 13 He's like PFT. He goes on his tippy toes for those measuring jobs.
Speaker 13 He's wearing the three layers of socks.
Speaker 6 No, it's the Nike 270s.
Speaker 1 That's my secret. He's smaller, yes, but similar to the NFL with quarterbacks, the game has changed where it's a lot more speed and it's not as much like big dudes.
Speaker 13 100%. So the counter-argument back is saying the league is
Speaker 13 built now and heading in a direction where it benefits player of his skill set.
Speaker 13 I would compare him to like a messy where it's like, let's see if he could be a little messy out there when he's just doing all these fucking fun little things and he's just lethal and he's like dipping and diving.
Speaker 13 But Mitch Marner, who on my Toronto May beliefs, it doesn't always transfer to playoff hockey as well. So you can have as much regular season success.
Speaker 13 He's like a hundred-point guy and when push comes a shove, the size always becomes a factor at some point.
Speaker 6 So how does that work in the NHL when you have a top-tier talent that's expected to come in, contribute almost immediately?
Speaker 6 Like, is there any conversation they're going going to have of like, let's not move this guy up until it's time for him? And maybe we'll start him elsewhere and then bring him in during the season?
Speaker 13 I don't know. I just feel like he's such a hockey psycho because you could tell he's just fully all the time dialed into hockey.
Speaker 13 So that's how these other greats, like you talk about McDavid and Crosby. So I would say that you don't put the reins on someone like that.
Speaker 13 What Chicago needs to do is they need to go out and get a few crafty free agents who he can play with.
Speaker 13 So he's not like like the crosby when he came in i feel like they got enough guys early where they loaded him up where he could learn and play with players that could make plays so you don't want to put him on an island to where if he's not playing with these skillful players it's going to be a lot harder for him to step in and like continue to gain that confidence because confidence is a big part of it too right you want these kids are he doesn't he doesn't want to have an okay uh first season he wants to win the calder right you know that's how that's how he's tapped so you got to make sure you surround him for success and make sure that you allow the reins to come off and let them go early.
Speaker 13 So because you don't want to, like a guy like,
Speaker 13 so for instance, like the Rangers always like, oh, we got this La Frenier first overall. But it's like, yeah, but they weren't talking about La Frenier like they're talking about Bedard.
Speaker 6 So what about
Speaker 6 some of the other guys around him? Because I understand what you're saying with that one, but the Penguins also brought in some goons when they got Crosby to protect him a little bit.
Speaker 6 Do you think the Blackhawks, should they be looking in the goon department?
Speaker 13 100%.
Speaker 13
Go, go, like, I don't know if Reeves is up, buddy, go pay him $2 million a year for two years. Give him a two-year deal, maybe even a three-year deal.
And you just say, Revo, we're going to give you.
Speaker 13 And if the team's not that great, he's going to get to play a little bit. If anyone goes, if anyone breathes on him, Revo goes up and just, I would sign the two toughest guys.
Speaker 13
I'd go after Delaurier, too. Just put a goon line on the fourth line.
Yeah. And nobody's going to go near him.
I like that.
Speaker 13 And there's still a little bit of that in the NHL, and I feel like the pendulum is swung back in that direction.
Speaker 13 Do you feel like the playoffs have been a little bit more extra violent?
Speaker 1 Yeah, I like that. Awesome.
Speaker 6 Get Wi-Fi on the team. What's his name? What's the guy's real name?
Speaker 13
I couldn't. Wi-Fi.
That's all I know.
Speaker 1 Get Wi-Fi on the team.
Speaker 1 My last question about Bedard in the lottery. Is the lottery?
Speaker 13 Here, I'll give him a double wrister for you. Let me get the lotion out.
Speaker 1 Listen, I'm asking questions.
Speaker 1 There's going to be plenty of time for me to go crazy for him. I was thinking about naming my unborn son Connor, but I was like, that's a lot of pressure to put on Bedard if he's not good.
Speaker 1 But what
Speaker 1 is the draft lottery?
Speaker 13
Yeah, you don't need the Jock Sniffer's phone. You're on Twitter going after him and his family because he didn't leave up to the hype.
So now your son has to live in shame.
Speaker 1 Yeah,
Speaker 1 it was a fleeting thought this morning.
Speaker 1 What is the draft lottery rigged?
Speaker 13 God, so we interviewed Charles Barkley today and we we were joking around about it i would just say having connor bedard in chicago is very good for business yep um
Speaker 13 and you know they were supposed to draft in the third spot and i just think it's convenient i think it's convenient last year that montreal got the first pick you know and it was in montreal the draft you know let's get the let's get them really ex and that's like a that's the mecca of hockey like when montreal's good it's really good for the league and as charles said he goes when he goes man Man, look how good it is for the NBA.
Speaker 13
Now, the Knicks are relevant. The Lakers are relevant.
Yeah. Who are the other big-name teams that are still in it?
Speaker 1 I mean, Boston. Yeah, Philly, Golden State, Philly.
Speaker 13
Yeah, it's like it's good. It's the league's thriving.
And
Speaker 13 yeah, I mean, you don't want Chicago to be bad, but no, I don't think it's rigged. No, I don't think that, no.
Speaker 6 But did you see? Do you see what happened?
Speaker 13 The star thing.
Speaker 1 Yeah, so the star thing, how they say.
Speaker 13 So that star thing is is put on a team or the number where somebody has jumped up. Okay.
Speaker 13 So the thing about the draft this year is if let's say Coyotes would have jumped, if a team would have jumped up in odds, there would have been a star associated to the next pick.
Speaker 13 So it just so happened that every single team up until that point had been drafted exactly where they were slotted.
Speaker 6 Yeah, it is funny to think that there's
Speaker 1 no change.
Speaker 6
Like behind the scenes, that's putting a star on there. It's like, remember, guys, this is rigged for Chicago.
Like, that guy would never be hired.
Speaker 6 They would never have that person in the graphics department making sure to show it to highlight what was being rigged.
Speaker 6 It was just funny how it went to commercial, and before they went to commercial, they said, okay, and the blue jackets are out of it. Go fuck off, Columbus.
Speaker 13 And then, like, in the video, it looked like the Chicago people were already celebrating in the video.
Speaker 13 It wasn't.
Speaker 13 It's like, you're on cue and go.
Speaker 1 Listen, I don't think it's rigged, but it is convenient. And then to add in the fact that you had the star thing and also the Columbus being eliminated before we even saw it, it was weird.
Speaker 1 They didn't pull it off.
Speaker 13 If you look at any of the draft parties, like Columbus's was at a bar, there was the most people. It was so authentic.
Speaker 13 There was probably 500, there might have even been a thousand people at it. Like there was pictures of it online, and they didn't even get to see their card turned over.
Speaker 13
They just got kind of like pigeon-tossed. Yeah.
I feel. But Columbus is an unbelievable market.
Speaker 13 I was hoping that if any of those three teams would have got it, it would have been Columbus because then Johnny Goudreau there and Patrick Linae's there.
Speaker 13 So all of a sudden, they might have been a playoff team for like this underdog market where it's like, yeah, they got a fucking like generational player.
Speaker 1 It would have been cool.
Speaker 6
I love how you say Montreal, by the way, too. Like last night, I think Weeks was saying it.
Montreal. Montreal.
It's really nice.
Speaker 6 What do you call it? Montreal?
Speaker 13 Well, I'm French. I say Maréal.
Speaker 1 Marial. Ooh.
Speaker 1
Ooh, yeah. That's good.
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 13 You want to fucking one-up me, bitch? Yeah,
Speaker 6
I'm going to go. Say it again.
Say it again.
Speaker 1 Mariel. So, so, Biz,
Speaker 1 before we talk about that, tell me that's not beautiful. No, it's beautiful.
Speaker 1 It was beautiful. Before we get to that.
Speaker 13
That's why I can barely say English. I was born French-Canadian, right? And then I switched over in grade seven.
And then
Speaker 13 I kind of suck at both now. I can't even say real, I can't say long, thoughtful sentences in either language.
Speaker 1 I'm kind of 50-50.
Speaker 13 The only time it really pays off is when I go to Montreal on a four-day heater with my buddies and like I'm trying to whisper sweet nothing in a fucking stripper's ear.
Speaker 6
It would be awesome though if when you spoke in French you were just a genius. That would be awesome.
Yeah.
Speaker 13 Yeah, like Beethoven.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah.
So
Speaker 13 oh c'est so belle.
Speaker 13 Like just like
Speaker 13 make girls just soak soaking wet.
Speaker 13 So bill. It'd be like who's the it'd be like a Fabio novel.
Speaker 13 You'd have like I'd have like chicks write me like I was in prison
Speaker 13 like just absolute off-the-chart fans
Speaker 13 like kind of like big cat fans like that that level of psycho fandom you got biz fans too you um so you've been working crazy hours you do have a little chaotic energy right now which i love are you like not sleeping we're we're looking at your you've been in a hotel i just i drank a coke i drank a coke so i'm at a bit of a sugar high okay no but but we just interviewed charles for two we sat down with charles barkley for two hours and and like dude,
Speaker 13
R.A., he used to go watch him play. Like, like Wit just posted a photo.
It was an awesome conversation. We touched it all.
Speaker 13 He was telling stories about how like the dream team, like they were, when they, all these, like, gamblings on the flights, like how, like, I was like, so you guys were just like, like, was it like an IOU system?
Speaker 13 And he's like, no, like every guy was carrying at least 100 grand cash on him. Like, just, you know.
Speaker 13
Surreal shit. It was cool.
Two hours with Charles Barkley. So I'm on a natural high right now.
Speaker 1
I like it. I like it.
So you have been in Atlanta, you've been in a hotel room. Are you like, do you get to hang out with those guys at all? Because you're at the TNT sets.
You're working crazy hours.
Speaker 1 Do you get to like, do you have a relationship with Charles and Shaq and Kenny?
Speaker 13
Yeah, I say what's up. Yeah, they've been, they've been super kind.
You try to give them their space because they're probably like, fuck, I'm a pigeon compared to those guys.
Speaker 13 So you try to be like, you know, be respectful, but they take over when they're in the studio, they have the main room and we get, we kind of get the sofa room.
Speaker 13 But yeah, we usually try to like let them focus on what they're doing and what they're watching because like sometimes you're doing four games in a night or two games in a night so you're trying to like siphon all that information in and stuff like that but other than that yeah we we we interact with them a little bit and charles comes over and wants to josh about the hockey side of it because he thinks playoff basketball even to some degree is pretty boring so yeah
Speaker 1 yeah how big
Speaker 6 he said it on one of the broadcasts yeah he was like i'm watching this game i turn on the hockey yeah he said don't watch the first round of the playoffs on tnt that was great how big is shaq like the first time that you that you meet shaq because he's enormous every now and again and again those pictures go viral it's like shaq charles barkley and the rock and the rock looks like an ant compared to shaq
Speaker 13 he's enormous and like he's a he's a funny guy like whenever he comes in the hockey room he'll come in and he'll act like he's skating
Speaker 13 so he does this like hockey shuffle and he just like i don't know they're just like
Speaker 13 they're like next level funny like the banter. So usually we just shut up when they're in the room so we can have some chuckles.
Speaker 13 And like Shaq will go to like the far toilet in the, in the makeup room and like drop one. And he'll come out and be like, don't, nobody go to the back of the room for five minutes.
Speaker 13 And he like smokes, smokes us out of the makeup room, basically, where you can't use the back. So they just, I couldn't even imagine how big they must be coming out of that massive human.
Speaker 13 Like, I don't even know how it gets down, but they're just like, they're just funny.
Speaker 13
They're funny guys, man. It's, it's, uh, it's a cool interaction.
It's cool watching the pros go at it. And it's been fun.
Speaker 13 Like, the hockey broadcasts have been awesome, and the whole TNT family is awesome, and it's been great.
Speaker 6 We actually heard the other day, we had Yandl on the show, and he was talking about how Whitney clogs every toilet that he uses because he just a crumpler? He's a crumpler, yeah.
Speaker 6 So he's got a real issue. If you had to pick one guy to let take a shit in your toilet, would it be Ryan Whitney or would it be Shaq?
Speaker 13 That's a bizarre question.
Speaker 1 Yeah, who's going to clog it?
Speaker 13
I would probably trust Shaq as he's probably not a crumpler like Wit. But Wit says he's changed his ways on the crumpling.
He used to be a crumpler.
Speaker 6 You can evolve from that? Was he folded now?
Speaker 13
Well, I think he learned his lesson. He used to do it a lot as a kid.
And yeah,
Speaker 13
I think that was the, I only saw a clip of it on the internet. I didn't see the full conversation.
And who was it? I think it was on Game Notes. I wasn't even on the show.
Speaker 6 Yeah, basically, Yandel said that Ryan Whitney uses so much toilet paper every time he takes a shit that every toilet that he uses gets clogged up.
Speaker 13 I mean, I just have never really been sharing a toilet with Ryan Whitney, so I'll have to ask him if he's still crumping it up for you.
Speaker 1 Jack out crumping it up. All right, so hockey,
Speaker 1 let's start with your leafs. Do they count as getting to the second round if they don't win a single game?
Speaker 13 Oh, man,
Speaker 13 I think everybody's getting can, and I think it would, it would, it's almost worse that they got past the first round and then took a massive dump like this.
Speaker 13 I think they, it feels like they came in underestimating
Speaker 13 the Florida Panthers.
Speaker 13 I felt like they, it looks like they felt because they got past the first round, all of a sudden it would just be easy, where like, it's like, no, it gets a lot more challenging and you got to go even more to the harder areas.
Speaker 13
And it's just like they're. The big boys have have, I don't think either of the core four guys have scored a goal so far in the series after three games.
Like,
Speaker 13 I don't know.
Speaker 13 I get playing okay or playing all right, but even the last game, their backs are against the wall. They're down 0-2, and they didn't really play that good for the first 40 minutes.
Speaker 13 Like, it's, they, they laid an egg. And even, even going back to game two, they had the, they had a 2-0 lead.
Speaker 13 And then the second period, they took a massive shit where the best players just made these stupid gaffes of like giving the puck up on their own end when like really they didn't need to and boom boom and all of a sudden they're down 0-2.
Speaker 13 So just
Speaker 13 overall, just I think, I think if they get swept, every single guy is getting gassed and maybe one of the big guys getting traded. So complete and complete implosion.
Speaker 6 So who would you trade?
Speaker 13 I haven't like,
Speaker 13 as a fan of the team, I'm kind of like, I don't really want to go there. I don't want to dive too deep into that yet because like there is a
Speaker 13 slim
Speaker 13
glimmer of hope that they come back and win. I think that they, I think that they have a better group.
They just have to now go on an insane run.
Speaker 13
Only four teams in the history of the NHL have came back from 03. The Leafs in like the fucking 20s or 40s, but it was in the cup final.
They were down 03 and they won the cup. They won four straight.
Speaker 13 The
Speaker 13 Islanders did it in 75, where they were down 03 at one point in the playoffs.
Speaker 13 Who was the other one?
Speaker 1 The Flyers did it to the Bruins, yeah.
Speaker 13 Who did it?
Speaker 1 Was it the Flyers? The The Flyers did it to the Bruins like maybe a decade ago.
Speaker 13
And then in the first round, L.A. did it to San Jose, and then they ended up going to win the cup in 2014.
I don't know if you guys remember that.
Speaker 13
They were down 0-3 in the first round of the San Jose Sharks, and they just rifled it off. And they'd won the cup two years prior.
So it was just this insane fucking thing that they did.
Speaker 13 So
Speaker 13 who knows? Maybe they're the fifth team to do it. And maybe it's just this bizarre run because I don't even think they should have won the first round against Tampa.
Speaker 13 If Vasilewski would have played like Vasilewski, the least would have been fucking done in six games. So I think that if they get swept, everybody's gone.
Speaker 13 And who knows if they go on this improbable run. So we'll talk about who I'm trading after the series is over.
Speaker 6
All right. There was another team that went down 3-0 the other day on Sunday in the game, the Devils Hurricanes game.
Devils went up 3-0.
Speaker 6 You said, game over. Don't even bother playing the rest of the game.
Speaker 12 Game over. I'll go one up.
Speaker 6 I say don't even bother playing the rest of the series. I think the devils are going to come back and win it all.
Speaker 1 How about that?
Speaker 6 You got into a little like back and forth with Taken on that one.
Speaker 13 Because I think that he obviously he has a lot of respect for Rod Brindemore and the Carolina Hurricanes and so do I.
Speaker 13 But you could just tell after the way the game started and then the way that it was going through the first 15 minutes, I'm like, ah, New Jersey has their legs and Carolina's timing's off.
Speaker 13 Carolina is so good at pressuring the puck and then they do so as like a group, whereas whereas like the first guy is getting pressure.
Speaker 13 And sometimes when you pass the next guy, the next guy has got like a little bit of breathing room, but they do it so well in unison that it feels like they're constantly breathing down your neck.
Speaker 13 They're one of the best defensive teams and they're so disciplined. Their penalty kill,
Speaker 13
finally, New Jersey had scored their first power play goal against them. They have this whole season and playoffs against New Jersey.
New Jersey's had like 22 or 23 power plays.
Speaker 13 They finally got their first one and
Speaker 13
scored seven shorthander goals against them. They're even fucking better than them than when they're shorthanded.
That's how good they pressure. But it just,
Speaker 13
they felt like they were off. They didn't have their jump and New Jersey did.
And I said, they're going to run a track meet. And they got that Luke Hughes in there making plays.
Speaker 13 And they just felt in rhythm. I felt the game was over the minute the first period was over.
Speaker 1 Yeah,
Speaker 13
I was truly confident saying that. And then they went on to route them 8-4.
Yeah.
Speaker 13 So I finally got a hot take right.
Speaker 6 So what you're you're saying is you'll know within the first like 10 minutes of their next game who's going to win.
Speaker 13 No, no, I felt that in that game, just it felt right in that game, just seeing what I'd seen. If Carolina was all over them and there were a couple flew goals and you're like, okay, yeah.
Speaker 13 But it's just like, like even defensively, Carolina felt off. And the problem with Carolina is right now,
Speaker 13 if Carolina goes on to win the Stanley Cup, Rod Brindemore should have a statue built in front of the arena of him because he wanted as a player there as a leader, but also the fact that he's gotten everyone to buy in and they've lost three of their top six forwards and they need offense.
Speaker 13 But they got past the Islanders. They won the first two game against New Jersey and put on a defensive clinic.
Speaker 13 Whereas in games where they're off defensively, they just don't have the firepower to keep up with New Jersey.
Speaker 1 They don't.
Speaker 13 They don't have the firepower.
Speaker 13 And then when you're down 3-0 boys, you have to take, you start, especially for a team like that you start to have taking some a few risks offensively and that's when they start to open things up and that's when a team like new jersey starts to eat you alive yeah they can't open things up they can't play that game so
Speaker 16 uh carolina outgame them at home in the first two games where like new jersey couldn't breathe yeah falls here kids are back in school vacations are over and cozy season is officially on you know what that means bombas season is on bombas makes the most comfortable socks ever and they even make slippers, tees, underwear, all crafted from premium materials.

Speaker 1 What about what about the Oilers and the Knights? So they, I mean, it's been a crazy series. Obviously, the Golden Knights killed them on Monday night.
Speaker 1 Do you think this is going to be one of those series that just goes back and forth like this and we'll get to like seven?
Speaker 1 Or have you, from watching it, been like, no, Vegas is that much better than Edmonton?
Speaker 13
I know Yans was busting my ball. So is Wick because I kept, I brought the little nugget.
We sometimes bring nuggets to the podcast. Vegas was the least penalized team during the regular season.
Yeah.
Speaker 13
So overall, they play a disciplined game because they, you know, they, they stay in structure. Like they, they, they play, play the game the right way.
They got the right pieces. Um,
Speaker 13 in the first couple games, they like were dummies and they were in the box, especially in game two. Like, and this, this Edmonton power play is the best power play like the league's ever seen.
Speaker 13
It's, it's incredible. So in game three, they stayed out of the box and they really took it to Edmonton five on five.
And Edmonton laid an egg at home.
Speaker 13 Um, I think game four is going to tell us a lot, lot, but I feel like Edmonton's going to need at least three, four power plays, and their bottom six is going to have to end up playing better than normal and scoring some goals in order to help them get past Vegas.
Speaker 13 The one thing, though, for Vegas now is, though, is they have this Aiden Hill in net. Brissois was doing such a good job in net in last game, and this guy's had two hip surgeries.
Speaker 13 You saw him push over trying to make a cross-crease save, and it looks like he blew out his hip again. But
Speaker 13
they got Jonathan Quick, the guy who was in LA who won two cups and won a con Smythe as their third string. So now he's going to be the backup.
And then they got this young kid, Aiden Hill.
Speaker 13
Aiden Hill used to play in Phoenix. I trust him.
I like him. He's like 6'5 ⁇ , huge wingspan.
He doesn't get too busy.
Speaker 13 So if he's just holding his angle and they're getting the team defense, there's not a lot of net to shoot at.
Speaker 13 So if he can hold the fort for them and they can get consistent goaltending, man, the Knights could could knock off the Oilers.
Speaker 13 But
Speaker 13 I'll never count out Connor McDavid and Leon Dreisidel. Every time they've had maybe like a so-so bad game, they've responded.
Speaker 13 Like they lost game one and then Dreisida, like Dreisidel had four goals in game one of the series.
Speaker 13 And then like he had to bring it again because they had to win game two because they lost game one in a four-goal effort.
Speaker 13
And he had like, I think he had two goals and assists or a goal and two assists. And McDavid had two and one.
McDavid had a shorthanded goal.
Speaker 13 Like those two guys, when they put their will to it, they'll just take over the whole game.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 13
I say Pippen and Jordan. I say the best duo since Pippen and Jordan.
Wow. I think they're going to win a championship.
So at that point, you can say that.
Speaker 6 Is it going to be this year?
Speaker 1 They'd have to win six, but yeah.
Speaker 13
They've had a very, very difficult path. Like L.A.
was no joke. L.A.
was better than them five and five in that series. Their power play saved them in the first series.
Like Leon and Connor.
Speaker 13
If they get out of this series, man, it's going to beat them up even more. And then the next series ain't going to be easy either.
They have a hard path.
Speaker 13 If they can do it, if McDavid and Dreiseidel can drag these guys up there and get it done in that fucking battle,
Speaker 13 what a show.
Speaker 13 I think that would be so good for hockey.
Speaker 13 I'm not giving up on the Leafs, but if they don't win it, I would happy if Wit and you got to celebrate Big Cat.
Speaker 13 If they go to the finals, Big Cat, we want you guys coming to Edmonton to see how crazy these fans are.
Speaker 6 I mean, I bet they're nuts.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 13 Would you guys come up there?
Speaker 1
Yeah, if it works for our schedule, I mean, I have that future ticket. I mean, I have a future ticket.
Hank's give me a face. If I could get there,
Speaker 1 I'm not going to say yes.
Speaker 1 Hank has just given me doubt that I have to have, which I actually appreciate what he just did.
Speaker 1 A maybe. It's a maybe.
Speaker 13 Okay.
Speaker 6
Yeah. International travel is kind of tough.
Got a kid on the way.
Speaker 13
Yeah. We're going to bring it through Pearson.
We're going to give you the full Ryan Whitney experience.
Speaker 6 Yeah. So what happens now? What are the exact terms of the bet in this Maple Leafs Panthers series? Is it you have to go to Daytona Beach?
Speaker 13 No, I think Yance tried to bet that with Witt, and Witt backed out quick
Speaker 13
because he didn't trust Toronto. I bet Yance 500 bucks, which you guys are going to scoff at.
I'm not a big gambler. I don't put the big units like, I mean, do you gamble like Big Cat?
Speaker 13 Do you put the heavy beat down?
Speaker 6 I've been putting down some pretty significant amounts of money recently, but it's not in the, like,
Speaker 6
I think my biggest ticket this year, I put eight grand on the Eagles to win the Super Bowl. Out of solidarity.
Out of solidarity, out of friendship.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 13 That's a heavy tag.
Speaker 6 Yeah, it is. It was a heavy loss.
Speaker 6
And the doink bet. And the doink bet.
Oh, yeah, the doink bet was big, too. I lost
Speaker 6
a lot of money on that. The Kraken.
Let's talk Seattle real quick. Yeah.
Speaker 1 Because
Speaker 6 all the prognosticators and the experts, by which I think meant we mean like two people that we talked to yeah about the kraken everyone counted them out nobody thought the kraken was even going to win uh you know i think whitney said they might win one game against the avalanche right so they win the first round they're up right now against the stars are they flukes or are they for real no they're for real nice they they just so i didn't trust them against the champs either but the champs i thought they were going to get landiskog back maybe he was ruled out then they lost the chushkin which was a massive power forward for them.
Speaker 13
They didn't have Cadre from last year. They just really only had their top line, but still, they were the champs.
The big three for Colorado did everything they could to get him out of that round.
Speaker 13
But Seattle is just such a disciplined team. They don't really get out of structure.
They have all these castaway type players.
Speaker 13 The best way to describe it is they have four second lines, which, yeah, they don't have those top beasts, but every night they have these like constant waves just coming at you.
Speaker 13 So they never really slow the pace of the game down, which that sucks if you're an opposing team because you never feel like you can just like maybe dust it off and transition and slow the pace of the game down.
Speaker 13
They don't take a ton of penalties. They don't give up a lot of odd man rushes.
So you're never really getting those high-end scoring danger opportunities against them.
Speaker 13
And they've been getting great goaltending. Grubauer looks awesome right now because they're not giving up a crazy ton of chances.
And then also when they are, he's making the big ones.
Speaker 13 And then Hank came on the broadcast because he jumps on and off with TNT. And he described it as like a lot of these young, like new school goalies, they drop too fast.
Speaker 13 And Wayne Gretzky loses his fucking mind about it. Cause
Speaker 13 I think Grant Fear, like he would stand up and he would more react to the shot where these guys are used to playing this butterfly style. So he stands up more.
Speaker 13 He's a little bit more reactive and calm before he drops down.
Speaker 13 And Hank thinks it's just because of the way the team allows the shots to come in and the fact that he's not overreacting and dropping every time and allowing a lot upstairs.
Speaker 13 So along with the goaltending play, the discipline, and the fact that they just have all these worker bees, they just, they just, they can outpace you and outwill you.
Speaker 13 And then when they smell blood, they strike.
Speaker 1 All right. So you said something interesting there that I wanted to follow up on because I love like the inside hockey stuff that
Speaker 1 people like us might not see. You said the shots they allow in.
Speaker 1 So on the scouting report before a game, are they saying like, hey, these are the shots we're okay with letting go through and these are the shots that we're not going to let go through.
Speaker 1 And that way it gives our goalie a leg up to know like, hey, you don't have to worry about this type of shot.
Speaker 13 Yeah, or in even some cases, getting through. And like Talkett brought it up on the broadcast and how
Speaker 13 when like. a player on the power play is coming down a certain way, if you're the defenseman in front of the net, you want to make sure you're blocking the far side of the net one
Speaker 13 because you you don't want the goalie to like see the puck and then lose track of it behind your back to go back to the to the far side right and then as the goalie you only have to worry about covering half of the near side net where some of these goalies being 6'5 even if you do drop in that position and you're out enough and you have your angle, it's just going to hit you and there's nowhere to shoot at.
Speaker 1 Right.
Speaker 13 So yeah, like certain teams, they play defense well enough and they understand how they need to defend in order to, where they're willing to allow the, the, the danger, quote unquote danger shots to come from.
Speaker 13 So that's why like, it's fun coming on to talk about this stuff because like in hockey, it's not like basketball where a few guys can get it done. Like you truly have to get it done as a group.
Speaker 13 And like it's each team that's still in playoff kind of has their unique way of getting the wins done.
Speaker 13 in the way their team does it like for instance edmonton how lethal their skill and power play is like they they set an NHL record 56% in the first round execution on their power play.
Speaker 13 It was the most in one playoff series ever. So that's why I said, like, it carried them through the first round where they had a hard
Speaker 13
opponent where Seattle is just like, they're just so disciplined. It's like they're a bunch of monks or something.
Like they're in like a cult.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 13 All for the team.
Speaker 1 All for the team.
Speaker 13 March to the ice. They got that little nightclub on the way out.
Speaker 13 And then buoy the the mascots
Speaker 1 they are trolls maybe they're just oh for the team so it's like a gnome voice that you're doing i like it yeah no you know
Speaker 6 uh is there anything to the rest versus rust debate that we have it in basketball all the time where it's like oh you would rather uh you know you want to get it done four games sweep them get some time off go out to Vegas, do whatever you want, then come back, you're refreshed for the next round.
Speaker 6 Or is there something to a team like being battle-tested in hockey during the playoffs?
Speaker 13 um it's funny you bring that up because i always um i had a couple buddies that played on that la kings team the first cup they won and i think the the
Speaker 13 i think they won every round they only might lost three games all playoffs so they were finishing so fast so they'd have a week off to the next game and they got the eighth seed so there was no expectations and they they were going out like three nights in a row after that just fucking getting buckled and they just had this awesome run where they kept partying and like so when you want to say, getting rest and like maybe having a little bit of fun, I always think that having days off is important during playoffs to rest your body, take the edge off.
Speaker 13 But, like, that was kind of an old school way of doing it. I don't, I don't know if, like, for instance, at the Panthers sweep, they're going to be going to get banged up for three, four days.
Speaker 13 The game has changed where it's more the protein shake. And I don't even think like half the guys drink in the league anymore for crying out loud.
Speaker 13 But, like, that's the, that's the age-old argument for Florida right now. If they sweep, like, they would have, if the other series go seven, I believe they would have nine days off.
Speaker 13 There's a certain thing about keeping your rhythm because they're clearly peaking at the right time. Florida was a team that barely got in and they caught win just after the all-star break.
Speaker 13 And they went on this crazy run. They got goaltending from this like no-name kid who got them to where they were.
Speaker 13 And then now Bobrovsky, the old two-time Vesna winner is playing like the Vesna winner again. So they've just been on this, like, it's like when a team's team's feeling it, they're feeling it.
Speaker 13 They, they look like they're feeling it like when Washington won that cup. Like, didn't you feel like after watching them for a round and a half, you're like, oh, I got that feeling.
Speaker 6 It was when they came back from, they were down 2-0 to Columbus, I think, and then they won game three in overtime.
Speaker 6 That's like when you're talking about the Maple Leafs, if the Maple Leafs win two games in a row right now, I could definitely see them going on a run because, like you've been saying, they've got all the talent in the world, but they look soft in the playoffs.
Speaker 6 They look like they don't have that edge to them.
Speaker 6 But once you start to believe in your team and be like, oh, shit, we could mount a historic comeback right now, that could carry over to multiple rounds right there.
Speaker 13
Oh, if they were to come back in this series, like there would be, I would put, I'm not a gambler. I'd match your 8K bet.
I'd say there's no way they're not winning the cup now. I like that.
Speaker 13 That would be so much mojo. I mean, who did who did it?
Speaker 13 Boston did it against the Yankees. Remember, and they hadn't won the World Series in how long.
Speaker 13 And in that first run where they ended up cracking the long run, they were down 0-3 to the Yankees, were they not?
Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1 there's something about playoffs, all playoffs, where if you can get out of the depths of hell,
Speaker 1 everything becomes a little bit easier.
Speaker 13 Right. And I believe that if like...
Speaker 13 The Leafs would be the team to just lay an egg in the first round, but get by based on skill and a few lucky bounces. Like people forget, you go back to game, I believe it was game three,
Speaker 13 Lightning were up 3-2, and there was a goal that was just lying in the middle between the goalies pads, and the whistle shouldn't have gone.
Speaker 13
And the guy just went over and poked it in, but they'd blown the whistle. So they should have been up 4-2.
So they should have lost that game. And they're lucky to be where they are.
Speaker 13 And then if they got lucky again and all of a sudden rattled off four in a row, only four teams have done it because
Speaker 13 you're going to have to get a lot of bounces along the way, too, man. These games are tight.
Speaker 6 So as a resident Canadian, Biz,
Speaker 6 tell me, how would Canada react to Edmonton winning a Stanley Cup in terms of like,
Speaker 6 would it just be like Edmonton Oilers fans that are really pumped, or would it go all across the country where, you know, Flames fans, Sinners?
Speaker 13
I don't know if Flames fans would be as excited. I don't think hardcore ones.
I think the rest of Canada would be excited.
Speaker 13 I think they'd be happy for McDavid, too, because it's like the second coming of Gretzky, right?
Speaker 6
Yeah. Yeah.
Now, if it's on the other shoe and the Leafs manage to pull it out and they win the Stanley Cup, I'm pretty sure all of Canada would be pissed off at them, right?
Speaker 13 Yeah,
Speaker 13
the Leafs are hated amongst a lot. It's like the, we joke around about the Yacht Club on the broadcast.
It's just like, you know, it's a lot of cake eaters in the bottom seats. Yeah.
Speaker 13 They're sniffing counters and, you know,
Speaker 13 eating their shrimp and caviar in their boxes.
Speaker 13 There's like somebody, I think it was Kobe Armstrong told me a story that they like created this VIP area for like during the games and they were charging like a $30,000 tag for the season and like they got like no buyers to it and then
Speaker 13 so they got back to the roundtable about this proposal and then the one of the heads goes make it a hundred grand sign up and everyone's like what
Speaker 13 and they did it and then they sold it out yes i love that because yeah if you're buying for a hundred thousand then boom that's like a status symbol right there oh yeah oh yeah so yeah i don't know i don't know if he pulled that story out of his ass or maybe it wasn't even him who told me, but that's kind of how it is.
Speaker 13 That's how it rolls there.
Speaker 1
It still counts. All right, Biz, this has been awesome.
I got one last question.
Speaker 7 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself.
Speaker 17 Their platters are a hit every time.
Speaker 7 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.
Speaker 7 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, Hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.
Speaker 7 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.
Speaker 10 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd.
Speaker 7 Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.
Speaker 13 We love having you on. You know, I did a good job of breaking down the whole league and what's going on.
Speaker 1 You did. You did.
Speaker 1 We love having you on. You're the best because
Speaker 1
you talk the game, but in a way people can understand. I think that's why you've been so successful on TNT.
It's great to watch you every night.
Speaker 13 You like when I'm on the board?
Speaker 1 Yo, the board is awesome right over your shoulder? Yeah. It's funny.
Speaker 8 More bored?
Speaker 1 Yeah, more bored.
Speaker 1 So who do you have with it all right now?
Speaker 13 A lot of your fans just say all I see is titties when they get that angle.
Speaker 1
Yeah, there's a little bit. You could see it.
If you look hard enough, you could see it.
Speaker 13 What's the question?
Speaker 1 Who do you have with it all now? After we've been through a full round and a a half, pretty much.
Speaker 1 Give us your winner.
Speaker 13 Let's get behind the leaves, man.
Speaker 1
Let's see if they can go on this one. Come on, come on.
They're dead.
Speaker 6 They're so dead, biz. I bet on them, too.
Speaker 7 They're so dead.
Speaker 6 I want them to win, but they're dead.
Speaker 1 Can Seattle win it all?
Speaker 13 Yeah, I think Seattle could win it all.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 13 I would have...
Speaker 13 My dark horse right now being down 2-1 to Carolina, but it would have been, I would have betted New Jersey down two. I think New Jersey, I still see something in New Jersey.
Speaker 13 I might be dead wrong, but that's probably the dark horse and best odds right now.
Speaker 13 Aside from that,
Speaker 13
I would say Edmonton. Okay.
Edmonton would be my safe money bet.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 6 Follow-up question. Is New Jersey, what part of the country is New Jersey in?
Speaker 13 It's in, like, it's, I guess you call it the northeast.
Speaker 6 Yeah, I guess so. Kind of the south, though.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 What about Seattle?
Speaker 13 Are you guys still hung up on me saying Colorado's in a southern state?
Speaker 6 So many people, when I was talking about the Chicago Blackhawks being my favorite team in the West now, were like, actually, they're in the South PFT.
Speaker 13 I had some people that were defending me. And wasn't there a line that came out on this map that people agree with me because of where some river is?
Speaker 1 I know. But I'm the one who's got all the people
Speaker 1 in the mentions boosting me up.
Speaker 13 No, they were your fans.
Speaker 1
No, I know. I'm saying like they're Biz fans.
Oh, okay. Well, they're our fans.
Speaker 1 To hear that Denver's in the South and be like, yeah, Biz is right.
Speaker 1 You got to drink the Kool-Aid.
Speaker 13 Next time you talk to Deion Sanders, ask him. Just say, what do you think? Because he lives there now, doesn't he?
Speaker 1
Definitely not say it's the South. All right.
Well, then I'm going to.
Speaker 6 He just moved from Mississippi, so I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1 He's from Florida, played in Texas,
Speaker 1
was in Mississippi. Yeah, Atlanta.
No, that's definitely Tropical. That's tropical.
Speaker 13 Is Jake Marsh there? Yeah.
Speaker 6 Jake Marsh is here. Yeah.
Speaker 13 Hey, how about that call, buddy? We were buzzing on the broadcast.
Speaker 1 That's a lot of fun. You got to do it, man.
Speaker 13 Oh, we better next year.
Speaker 13 Did you guys watch the broadcast? I did.
Speaker 1
I think that was. I was there.
I was part of it.
Speaker 13 I know he was there. I was asking the rest of them.
Speaker 6 I saw it. I saw Jake refer to a shot as a snipe, and you really jumped down his throat on that.
Speaker 12 That was Wit.
Speaker 6 Oh, that was Wit. Okay,
Speaker 1 I discovered
Speaker 1 that criticism. What about Biz? So watching that broadcast, like, wouldn't it be cool?
Speaker 1 Like, those guys are so skilled, but if you ever had, like, someone in that game who you played with, that would be awesome. Because then you get a different type of intel.
Speaker 13 What do you mean?
Speaker 1 Like, a guy you might have played in the minors with or something.
Speaker 13 I did play with a guy.
Speaker 1 Oh, really? Oh, you didn't mention it on the broadcast.
Speaker 1 Fuck off, really?
Speaker 13 You're saying I mentioned it that many times?
Speaker 1
How many times? That's probably me more than him. No, it was only like two or three times.
O'Donoghue, one of the best guys. I know
Speaker 1 why.
Speaker 1 You know why it was.
Speaker 10 Marshi.
Speaker 13 Marshi, this guy's trying to call me out. How many times did I say that?
Speaker 1 I probably would have said it more than you. So
Speaker 1
it stuck with me because he was so goddamn good. He was like their whole team.
Kept him in the game. He was their whole team.
Speaker 13
Yeah, he was like the, he was like LeBron. Just jump on, boys.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 Oh, do you have anything on basketball playoffs?
Speaker 13 No.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 1 I was talking basketball with Bitch.
Speaker 13 The only thing I will say is some people are questioning whether Tatum, does Tatum have that dog in him?
Speaker 6 Some people are questioning
Speaker 17 at the end of the game, he turtles.
Speaker 1 Yeah, passes the ball.
Speaker 13 So, he does not have that dog in him?
Speaker 1 He does.
Speaker 1 Does he? He's 25.
Speaker 13 Okay, all right, so I guess we're going to learn a lot in this run, right? Are they up or down to the Sixers?
Speaker 1 It's 2-2.
Speaker 1 3-2 now. Oh, you want to know
Speaker 1 now? Hank? It's 3-2. Yeah, but Hank, do you want to see Boston? 3-2?
Speaker 2 Yeah, Tatum just went for 40.
Speaker 1 Okay, so 3-Boston Boston.
Speaker 13 So he's got a little dog.
Speaker 6 Some would say that Hank may have just jinxed the entire playoffs by putting on a shirt of having Lucky the Leprechaun dunking on Ben Franklin.
Speaker 1 That's just a cool shirt. No, Biz.
Speaker 1 Biz, you can tell us who it is in hockey.
Speaker 1 My take with Tatum is he is a phenomenal, phenomenal player. And I think he is, like, he gets talked about as a top-five player.
Speaker 1
He does take over games at times. I would like to see a little more aggression every now and then to be like, I am the best player on this court.
This is my game. So, who's that in hockey?
Speaker 1 Who you'd like to see just a little bit more like, hey, you're the best out here. Like, go do it.
Speaker 13
Well, I, I mean, I, I, I think it's uh Marner and Matthews. Yeah.
And like, I, I, I've defended them and I think they're incredible players.
Speaker 13 I think that they need to, yeah, they need to find that next level.
Speaker 1
Right. And yeah.
It's not, so it's not a knock that they're not exceptional players. No, it's more like they'll find it.
Yeah.
Speaker 13 And I don't think any of us want to be on the broadcast criticizing anyone, right? But at the end of the day, it's like, what went wrong?
Speaker 13 It's like, well, if the big dogs aren't being the big dogs and they, they're making all the money and they want to be paid like big dogs, it's like, well, who else do we blame?
Speaker 1 Yeah. You know? Yeah.
Speaker 13 So like, and, and keep in mind, like, it's a hard cap league.
Speaker 13 And I think that if each of them were making nine and a half, as opposed to 11 and a half right now, and they had that extra 4 million to go spend on some help, I think it would be a lot more enjoyable.
Speaker 13 Well, at least I would think so, where that's like, you look at Crosby, you look at the Patrice Patrice Bergerons, you look at some of these guys.
Speaker 13 They left money on the table because it's a hard cap league. So if you want to be paid like the big dog, you've got to play like the big dog.
Speaker 1
I like it. All right.
So we'll see you tonight on the TNT.
Speaker 13 PFT, you got a bar.
Speaker 13 What's your
Speaker 13 Marshi, what's your bark?
Speaker 1 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Max, what's your bark? Oh, you just kicked the dog.
Speaker 1 I'm not now.
Speaker 13 Punted it like in
Speaker 13 the
Speaker 13 anchorman.
Speaker 1 Every dog he sees, he does that exactly like that.
Speaker 13 Oh, hey, come to speak of it, I saw him walking in Atlanta the other day.
Speaker 1 Who? Will Farrell. Oh, really? Yeah.
Speaker 13 I didn't bug him. I wanted to, but I didn't.
Speaker 6
Let's reenact this. Let's retell the story, but you saw Will Farrell and you did bug him.
What did you say?
Speaker 13 I would have said, okay, so you guys might laugh. I would have said this, but we were doing the TNT broadcast and they kept putting him on and he had the LA Kings face paint.
Speaker 13
So I would have just stopped him and say, hey, I do the TNT broadcast. I said, we were laughing about you and the face paint with the Kings stuff.
I think that would be a good thing.
Speaker 13
I thought that that would have been a soft opening. And I stopped.
But, buddy, these people, could you imagine having to like
Speaker 13
get bothered like that all the time? No. I just feel like the last thing he wants to do is get stopped right now.
It looked like he was going for a nice power walk.
Speaker 1 That plays, though, because you're kind of.
Speaker 13 He's got veteran socks up to his knees he was just he had a nice little flow going but you're subtly letting him know like hey i'm not just like a random guy like i'm not a pigeon right
Speaker 13 pump his tires yeah saw you on the broadcast hey who knows maybe even like get him on for like a segment yeah like you know it'd be cool to get snoop dog on for a segment or like the other night it was a blowout and wayne was at the game in vegas so like way came he ended up jumping on it was like it's fun you know you get to talk.
Speaker 13 What's what's he seeing? It's cool, it's cool to get the big boys on, you know?
Speaker 6 Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 All right, well, biz, we've been enjoying the hell out of watching you on TNT. Everyone, go check it out.
Speaker 6 Get some rest. I don't want you to work too hard.
Speaker 13
Yeah, you, you, I'm done. I got tomorrow off.
This is the last thing I had to do. I ate, and I'd be lying if I didn't smoke a little before I came on, boys.
Speaker 13 I know I was a bit of a chatterbox, but hey, I gotta, I'd like, I thought you just had a soda.
Speaker 1 You said you had a Coca-Cola, and I was like, oh, that's classic.
Speaker 13 Not, yeah, not the other stuff. Um, what was the last thing I was gonna say? Oh,
Speaker 1 Hey, I know.
Speaker 13 Yeah, the one side's blocked.
Speaker 13 Hey, bark's on the way out.
Speaker 1 Got to be a big dog.
Speaker 13 Marshie, I want to hear that bark. No!

Speaker 1 Facts.
Speaker 1 One of Max or Hank are going to be eliminated on Thursday night from
Speaker 1 this world? Yeah.
Speaker 10 Is that true?
Speaker 1 Oh, I guess maybe not necessarily. This could go seven.
Speaker 6 It's a best of three, right? That's true.
Speaker 1 I want it to go seven.
Speaker 2 Hey, boys.
Speaker 1 Hey. Hey.
Speaker 2 What's the one piece of yard work you're looking forward to doing now that you'll have a yard?
Speaker 2 P.S. This should be a Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 1 I don't think so.
Speaker 6 Yard work?
Speaker 6 You don't like mowing the lawn, Hank?
Speaker 2 I don't know if there's 12 items of yard work.
Speaker 1 Yes, there is, for sure.
Speaker 6 There's a lot of yard work.
Speaker 1 Seeding,
Speaker 6 edging. I love edging.
Speaker 1 I like raking leaves and then making a big fucking pile and then jumping in the pile.
Speaker 14 Weeding.
Speaker 1 Weeding sucks.
Speaker 7 Weeding, but it's so satisfying.
Speaker 1 But you need the little, you need the little knee pad.
Speaker 6 I like just mowing the lawn.
Speaker 11 Yeah. I've never experienced jumping in the leaves.
Speaker 1 Oh, you're up in Florida.
Speaker 6 You have lizards that fall out of trees that you can put in a pile and jump in.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 6
Iguanas. Yeah.
I would say
Speaker 6
I'm looking forward to being able to open a door and then I'm going to have a dog and then I'm going to be like, go outside and use the yard. Yeah.
That's going to be sick.
Speaker 1 Why are you shaking your head, Max?
Speaker 12 We didn't even bring up that you hate dogs.
Speaker 1
I know, but now it's just every time I have a dog. Yeah, Max.
I'm roasted.
Speaker 6 That's a you problem. Yeah, that's a you problem.
Speaker 1 That's a you problem. You made it a you problem.
Speaker 1 You're shaking your you problem? Yeah, well, you
Speaker 6 were the one.
Speaker 1 You've created this narrative.
Speaker 6 Factor fiction. I wasn't the one who did not pet the dog.
Speaker 1 Factor fiction, I was petting Brody the whole night.
Speaker 1 And there was one clip where I wasn't. Underrated thing,
Speaker 1
cleaning out the gutters. Because then when they actually flow for real, you're like, oh, we got a problem here.
And then you get it.
Speaker 6 Nothing better. You unjam the jams.
Speaker 2 You've cleaned out gutters.
Speaker 1 Yeah, I've cleaned out a gutter or even a
Speaker 1 drain. Like in your, if you have like a patio or something and you need to clean out a drain, cleaning out drains fucking rules.
Speaker 2 The YouTube video of the guy that finds
Speaker 2 big
Speaker 2 vlog drains and undrains them is electric.
Speaker 6 Way better than Pimple Popper MD.
Speaker 14 Yes. Exterminating
Speaker 14 if there's a raccoon den.
Speaker 1 No, that doesn't sound fun. No, but when you get them out,
Speaker 1 killing a hive. Or like if there's a chasing a hive, killing
Speaker 2 a bat comes into your barn and bites you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 No, those don't sound fun. Lighting a beehive on fire.
Speaker 6 We're talking about yard work, not becoming
Speaker 6 Hitler to a bunch of raccoons.
Speaker 1
Okay, okay. Come on.
Come on, come on.
Speaker 6 Come on, man.
Speaker 6 I was just talking about killing a raccoon family. Didn't have to take it there.
Speaker 1 What's your favorite yard work? You know, mowing the lawn,
Speaker 1 weeding, murdering a bunch of animals, the basics. Yeah.
Speaker 2
Leads us to the next one. What's up, dudes? What's up? This might have been written by Billy.
Wanted to ask a question my friends and I always ask people when we're hammered.
Speaker 2
What is the biggest animal that each of you could kill with your bare hands? Good question. Justin, FYI, kangaroos have been the most controversial answer.
Love you guys. No one could kill a kangaroo.
Speaker 1 I could absolutely kill a kangaroo. Sub-adult black kangaroo.
Speaker 1 Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 You could choke out a kangaroo. You could absolutely kill.
Speaker 12 No.
Speaker 6 You could choke out a kangaroo. A kangaroo would just run away.
Speaker 1 You would have to. That's a problem.
Speaker 2 Like, what about the legs?
Speaker 1 I've been criticized for this take, but I think I could take down a moose.
Speaker 1
No, definitely not a moose. I do.
I do. No.
Speaker 6 Moose are fucking diesel. I don't know if they're too bad.
Speaker 1 Have you ever seen a moose?
Speaker 14 Have you seen a moose in person?
Speaker 6 Dead twice.
Speaker 1 Yeah, I'll jump on its back and just do fucking bashing its brains in.
Speaker 14 You couldn't fit a moose in this room.
Speaker 1
Even an animal, I could probably kill it. Blue whale.
Yep.
Speaker 6
Yeah, I could kill a blue whale. It would just choke on me.
Yep. Just dive right into his throat.
Speaker 1 Dive into his blowhole. Name another animal.
Speaker 14 Do you think you kill a black bear?
Speaker 2 No problem. Lion.
Speaker 1 Easy. Hippo.
Speaker 6 Easy.
Speaker 1 No, you can kill a fucking hippo, dude. Dude, hippos.
Speaker 1
I would fuck a hippo up. Iowa hippos.
No, dude. Hippos can't even swim.
I'd wrestle to the bottom of the ocean, drowning. Hippos.
Speaker 1 Eagle hornet.
Speaker 6 No, definitely not. The beauty of these is that you never have to actually prove it.
Speaker 1
I think. So I just say that I can kill every animal, and people like Billy get really upset.
The real answer is the best hypothetical ever.
Speaker 6 I think I could kill any bird.
Speaker 6 Name?
Speaker 6
Any bird, yes. Actually, yeah.
Yeah, you can snap a snack.
Speaker 1
Yeah, punch it in the face. I mean, I agree.
I could kill it. There's not an animal I wouldn't kill.
Speaker 6 No, but literally, I think I could kill any bird. Same.
Speaker 1 Yeah. I could kill a moose.
Speaker 14 Prehistoric birds?
Speaker 6 No.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 6 I don't know what prehistoric birds are.
Speaker 14 Giant prehistoric, like, predator birds.
Speaker 1 Dude, if you go low on a moose, I think you could kill it.
Speaker 6
It does have wiry legs. It's got skinny ankles.
Yeah. No, it would fucking dude.
No, but have you? Okay, so I'm...
Speaker 6 I know what Big Cat's doing, which is I like what he's doing. Yeah, because he's pissing off Billy.
Speaker 1 Yeah, it's really pissing me off. I like that.
Speaker 1
There's literally nothing that you can do to prove it. But the reality is...
He's not fighting any of these animals.
Speaker 6 If you look at a moose charging at you, like it's a fullback and you're a wiry cornerback and you just dive at its legs, you break one of those tiny little toothpick legs,
Speaker 6 and then we've got a horse racing situation on our hands where that moose is going to
Speaker 1 step on its throat.
Speaker 6 Yeah, I would just bring a tarp out and then euthanize it.
Speaker 14 Moose are the last mega fauna in North America.
Speaker 1 Okay, well, if they ever come across me, they're fucking dead.
Speaker 6 They're mega fucked. Yeah.
Speaker 1 I'd fuck a moose up so bad.
Speaker 6 Seriously, though, any bird.
Speaker 7 I will kill gladly any bird.
Speaker 2 What about
Speaker 1 put a little cute bird on a moose, two for one? There we go.
Speaker 2 What were the things they invaded? It was like we have 40 wild hogs invading
Speaker 1 black hog down, yeah. Feral hog video where they're in the chopper just shooting them down.
Speaker 2 That's easy for you?
Speaker 1 Easy.
Speaker 6
Yeah, I guess the question is: do you get a gun, too? They didn't specify in this. Yeah.
Again, this is.
Speaker 2 You said you would just beat a moose's head. Yeah, I would.
Speaker 1 This is the easiest hypothetical ever because you can just say it, and then there's nothing that anyone can do. Like, dude, I would love, I would love for a silverback gorilla to test me.
Speaker 1 Oh, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 6 Billy's like, they're probably listening right now.
Speaker 1 They're going to be so mad.
Speaker 2
Sup, Jabronis. Wanted to ask a quick question as we're getting into Glizzy season.
I wanted to ask how Big Cat got into the Nathan's hot dog eating contest. Oh, yeah.
Was there any preparation?
Speaker 2 How'd you feel afterwards and the next day? Is Billy going to enter the contest? Who would win in a Glizzy eating contest among the PMT crew?
Speaker 1 So it was
Speaker 1
the guys who run it, really good guys. No, not Nathan.
The Shays, right? The Shays, yeah.
Speaker 11 You hooked me up with them. Yeah, Rich.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Great dude.
Yeah. So there was a
Speaker 1 writer.
Speaker 1 What was his name?
Speaker 6 Plimpton. Plimpton.
Speaker 1 James Plimpton, I want to say, who would go and play
Speaker 1
different sports and stuff. Maybe that's not his name.
Plimpton is his name.
Speaker 14 Paper Lions? Is that the guy who played for the Detroit Lions?
Speaker 1
Yeah, he played Outfield and George Plimpton. So they were like, we should have a George Plimpton seat.
Like someone from the media gets to be in it.
Speaker 1 Yeah, I trained by eating some hot dogs, but no, I was not.
Speaker 1 Being in that contest, like,
Speaker 1 I was in awe. I've said this before, but I think Joey Chestnut is the greatest athlete of all time.
Speaker 7 I don't think anyone could ever touch what he does.
Speaker 1 It's so fucking hard. Kobiashi,
Speaker 1 he hasn't touched it, right?
Speaker 6 We need to see him head-to-head again.
Speaker 6 Whatever happened to that? We were going to get Joey Chestnut and Kobayashi to do
Speaker 6 Rough and Rowdy, but for hot dogs.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 6 That would be sick. Joey said he's down.
Speaker 1
Let's do it. Let's do it.
But yeah, it was. I ate 12 in 10 minutes, and it was the most disgusted I've ever felt in my entire life.
Speaker 1
I felt like a sausage that was, you know, right before it gets popped for two days straight. Couldn't shit either.
So Joey Chestnut, he drinks after those. He goes out.
Speaker 14 Well, they pull Trigg.
Speaker 1 No, he doesn't.
Speaker 14 Haven't you seen the A Thousand Ways to Die?
Speaker 6 Well,
Speaker 6 there's a time window right afterwards where you can and cannot. So, like, within, I want to say 10 minutes after it's over, if you throw up, it's a reversal of fortune and you don't win anymore.
Speaker 6
They disqualify you. But then afterwards, I don't know.
It's like whatever you want to do at that point. I've been thinking about making the switch full-time to being a brat guy.
Speaker 1 Brats are so good.
Speaker 6
I think I'm off hot dogs this summer. I think I'm brats only.
Brats are so, so good. They're so good.
Speaker 6 Brats are so good.
Speaker 1 They're so good.
Speaker 1
Pigs in a blanket. But I love hot dogs.
Hot dogs are the best. I know that they cause cancer and they make you, it's like smoking a pack of cigarettes.
Speaker 6 I don't care.
Speaker 1 I would rather live a year less with a million glizzies
Speaker 1 than the alternative.
Speaker 6 I'd rather live on my feet than die on my knees.
Speaker 6 I think
Speaker 6 smoking a whole pack of cigarettes is cool. So that's not really an insult to me.
Speaker 1 Eating a full hot dog is cool. Either way, it was a very cool experience.
Speaker 1 I never would want to do it again because the other thing that happened was you get swept up in the moment and everyone's like, you got to dunk, you got to dunk.
Speaker 1 Eating mushed, like wet buns is the grossest texture ever. So, again, Joey Chestnut, all-time athlete.
Speaker 6
I'm going to revise my take because I realize it's grilling season. I love a good hot dog from the grill.
I don't like a pan hot dog. I don't like a boiled hot dog.
Speaker 6 Give me the grilled hot dog.
Speaker 1
I love a filleted hot dog on the grill. Just give me, I want grilled number one.
I want flame pan.
Speaker 12 You have
Speaker 1
pan can be good because you just put so much butter in it. It's like a butter dog.
Boiled far third.
Speaker 6 That's the fattest thing you've ever said. Yeah.
Speaker 1
Not even close, actually. I've said way fat.
Like a boiled dog at a game, though? No. Yeah, but I don't like it.
At a game. At a game, it's different.
At home, it's gross.
Speaker 1
But even that, like, I would rather like wash it down with the water. Like, a hot dog on the grill or on the flat top at a game with onions and peppers.
Oh, so good.
Speaker 1
They're good, but my favorite time to have a hot dog is at a baseball game. Yeah, but they have non-boiled dogs.
You need to feel like
Speaker 1 boiled dogs.
Speaker 1
If you're sitting in your seat, but I'm talking about getting up. Okay.
Yeah, those are the best. Smell those onions? God.
Speaker 1 Hot dogs out
Speaker 1 in the bleachers at Wrigley. Fucking best hot dogs ever.
Speaker 1 Hey, boys, will the whole crew be heading to Chicago office?
Speaker 2 I feel like the only ones who have been talking about moving/slash finding a place have been Big Cat, PFT, and Hank.
Speaker 6 Yeah,
Speaker 6 so
Speaker 14 I'm just going to get out with it. I will not be moving to Chicago.
Speaker 14
I've kind of been in denial about it. Didn't really want to talk about it on the show because it sucks to think about.
And I'm pretty much in denial.
Speaker 6 Did you write a statement?
Speaker 14 Yeah, I did have a statement.
Speaker 6 Is it on NotesApp? Yeah.
Speaker 12 It's on Notes App.
Speaker 1
By the way, we had a verbal notes app. We've obviously known for a while.
Billy was very much invited.
Speaker 1
So it wasn't anything like that. But Billy, if you want to.
Do you want one of us to read the notes out? No, let me just. Does that make it easier?
Speaker 12 I didn't.
Speaker 6 It definitely would make it easier for Billy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 Why don't I read it?
Speaker 6 Why don't I read the notes? And to be fair to Billy, he has
Speaker 6 the only reason he hasn't been verbalizing it is because he just, like you said, he's in denial and he doesn't want to admit it because when he admits it, then it becomes real. Right.
Speaker 6 So it's real now, Billy.
Speaker 1 And we knew, Billy, it wasn't a huge problem that you didn't admit it out loud because we all kind of knew how your brain works. And you're like, maybe,
Speaker 6 like, like, July will never actually happen. Billy would just use his last animal fact at the end of the last show to be like,
Speaker 6 some animals don't move to Chicago.
Speaker 14 Yeah, let me just.
Speaker 1 Do you want us to read it? I'm good. You got it.
Speaker 14 I'm trying not to cry.
Speaker 1
Okay. I believe in you, Billy.
I am also trying not to cry. It's right.
I accomplished that.
Speaker 14 It sucks to say there are various parts of my life that I keep private that impacted this decision. I hope you guys respect the decision.
Speaker 14 Please just remember that I am the only one who can weigh all the factors that impact my life. I will be hanging around on PMT till July and will be blogging on macrodosing.
Speaker 14 I ask people to please respect my privacy in regards to the situation. Look, I wish this was not the case, but it's the reality of the situation.
Speaker 14 And then I have another speech that I realized would be better for the last time I'm on the episode.
Speaker 1 Oh, okay.
Speaker 6 Do you have any pictures in there?
Speaker 1 No. I like that you wrote the speech and added look.
Speaker 1 Yes. Look, look, guys.
Speaker 6 Billy,
Speaker 6 we will miss you in Chicago
Speaker 6
We got your back. I know that you have I don't think people are gonna give you that much shit.
So whatever it's it's a big boy decision. You made a decision.
Speaker 6 I know you got you got other other things that you're working on and It's everyone's decision. So don't stress.
Speaker 1 Yeah, you're good. Everything's gonna work out.
Speaker 1 I what I tell you though and I think this is like something for everyone who's listening whatever decision you make in life, whatever it is, there will be some regrets and some positives on any decision.
Speaker 1
There's no, anyone's like, live with no regrets. There's nothing that you can make.
If you have a big life decision, there will be a small part of you that regrets some piece of it.
Speaker 1 That will always be the case, but you just keep moving forward.
Speaker 2 I also think a lot of people that listen to this show sometimes will like to do, you know, backseat driving on other people's decisions. And it's like, no one knows what's best for you other than you.
Speaker 2 And obviously, you're making the decision that's you have to make it.
Speaker 1
And we fully support you. Yep.
Like, there was, it's not, you know, I don't think you should be ashamed. I don't think anyone should give you shit.
Speaker 14 I mean, you guys are going to do amazing out there, and it's going to provide so much more opportunities for you guys to like, not that you guys aren't at a super high level, but you're going to literally take it to like space level.
Speaker 1 Space level. Like, you guys are just hovering.
Speaker 14 You guys are flying right now, but we're going to go to space.
Speaker 1 You're going to go to outer space.
Speaker 9 Like, literally, you're going to go to outer space.
Speaker 14
It's going to be such a fertile environment for creating amazing content. And I'm going to get so much FOMO.
And I wish the best for you guys. And
Speaker 14 now I'm dipping into my last episode.
Speaker 1
Oh, okay. Yeah.
Well, hold on. Let's just leave this decision to be able to do that.
Leave so someone, Billy. Of course, you'll have a little FOMO, but like I said, I mean,
Speaker 1 every decision,
Speaker 6 there's pros and cons of every decision.
Speaker 1 No one has ever made a decision in their life and like, that was 100% the best thing ever without any, like, hey, what about that part? Oh, yeah, maybe I regret that a little.
Speaker 2 I think, especially with Billy, as someone who also started here super young, it's like people were exposed to Billy when he was a kid, basically.
Speaker 2
And now he's an adult. So it's like things, a lot of things change in those, whatever, six or seven years.
It's not,
Speaker 2 I don't think people should be like, I don't know, that's just something that I went through myself where it's like, I don't want people to treat me the way they treated me when I was 19 because I'm an older person making different decisions.
Speaker 6 Yep.
Speaker 6
Well said, Hank. Very well said.
So Billy, people will still be able to see you on bar stool.
Speaker 1 Yes. I'm not trolling.
Speaker 14 I'll be around.
Speaker 12 All right.
Speaker 1 We watched Billy go through puberty.
Speaker 1 It was a wonderful thing.
Speaker 6 I was pretty far past puberty when I I got to go.
Speaker 1 Oh, I know.
Speaker 1 I was joking.
Speaker 6
Billy, I'll say one thing about Billy. He does goodbyes as well as anybody.
I still remember when Billy went to college the first time.
Speaker 6 And then on our way out, it was like the last day that we recorded with Billy in the studio.
Speaker 6 And he pulled each of us aside separately and gave us like a heartfelt speech about like, good luck out there.
Speaker 6 I can't wait to see what you guys accomplish. It was very touching, Billy, and I'm sure you'll have a great one for us at the end of your run here on PMT.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 Well,
Speaker 1 If the Jets win a Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 Well, also, this was...
Speaker 14 Remember those
Speaker 14 factors that only I could weigh? Yeah, I kind of want to be in New York to watch Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 6 Just one of the lowest. It's on the list.
Speaker 14 It's on the list. I mean, it's not high up there.
Speaker 1 We will never get to see Aaron Rodgers play football again in Chicago.
Speaker 6 That's, yeah, that's hard.
Speaker 1 And yeah, probably not.
Speaker 12 Do you have it on TV? Next year?
Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, okay.
Speaker 6 No, but I.
Speaker 6 do we have the YouTube sign up yet? Yeah. No,
Speaker 14 that was a little bit joking.
Speaker 1 I will be going to a lot of Jets games, though. Yeah.
Speaker 1 But it would be funny if they won the Super Bowl. Yeah.
Speaker 14 And I was here for it.
Speaker 7 But not on the show.
Speaker 2 Or in Vegas.
Speaker 1
Or in Vegas. Oh, no.
Oh, no, Hank. Wait.
Well, no, I'm saying, like, if you were, like, being here for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 You'd want to be...
Speaker 2 In Las Vegas.
Speaker 15 Oh, for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 For the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 If the Jets
Speaker 6 get to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 14 No, that's not a real reason why I make this.
Speaker 1
No, I know. I know you were joking.
I know you're joking. But we will miss you, Billy.
And
Speaker 1 we stand behind you for anyone who's giving you shit, which I think people will be cool about it. I actually do.
Speaker 1 Hopefully. Any others?
Speaker 2
There was one quick story. This is funny.
This is more, not FAQ, but it was a funny story. Funny anecdote.
Speaker 2 Last week, my team was traveling from Toronto to a charity hockey tournament in Pennsylvania, raised $4.8 million for cancer patients and families. Shout out to this hockey tournament.
Speaker 2 Long story short being that Air Canada is airline from hell. Pearson Airport as a whole is a shit show.
Speaker 2 They wouldn't let us check our hockey bags because we didn't get to the airport three hours before the flight.
Speaker 2 After fighting with the entire Air Canada staff, saying if our team doesn't make it there for puck drop, it's going to be a shit show and would fuck up six months of raising money and hard work.
Speaker 2 Keep it short. One guy on my team was like, what if we just go in full equipment through security and on the plane and we don't have to check anything in?
Speaker 2 So that's what they did, and they sent a bunch of pictures of their they're just in full hockey
Speaker 6 are they wearing their skates are you allowed to wear hockey ice skates onto a plane i don't think so i can't imagine you can can you bring hockey sticks on a but the pictures are funny i think you have to check the the hockey bag with the sticks in it i don't think you can have a hockey stick on a plane
Speaker 1 sounds like sounds like yeah you probably can't oh you can no i don't think so you like can't bring a bat on a plane can you it's a weapon you could be used as a weapon you can bat you can bring exacto knives on planes again not what really yeah they yeah
Speaker 14 damn they like reversed actually i may be lying about that yeah i feel that i feel like that would be the last one that they would reverse yeah
Speaker 1 specifically that one yes exactly yeah okay um
Speaker 1 should you do the lottery ball
Speaker 1 yeah
Speaker 1 have you ever gotten it yeah
Speaker 12 no you haven't I got it last night.
Speaker 1
Oh, with the Blackhawks. Yeah, kind of, yeah.
Except those weren't, you know.
Speaker 1 No, that doesn't count.
Speaker 14 TSA in the U.S. allows knives with blades that are 2.36 inches or less in length and carry-on baggage.
Speaker 1 2.8 inches. So that's...
Speaker 14 But think about how small X-Acto blades are. Number seven.
Speaker 6 I think they go up further.
Speaker 1 18.
Speaker 12 99.
Speaker 1
Do you want it? No, there just has... This system is illegal.
This system is illegal. Why is there not giving you a bunch of people? Because Big Cat controls, there's literally
Speaker 1 impossible.
Speaker 2 No, you've been doing it every single time.
Speaker 1 No, I haven't.
Speaker 2 You guys have colluded so that I can't pick 17.
Speaker 6
That was not collusion. We were just talking.
I just said
Speaker 6 you've been, you, I mean, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 All right, I'll give it a beat.
Speaker 1
You could have 17. I'll give it a beat from now on.
Fair.
Speaker 2 All right. You said I could have 17.
Speaker 12 Thank you.
Speaker 1 Do you want it? Yeah. Okay, that was stupid of you.
Speaker 1
What were you going to guess? You have to tell me what you were going to guess. Three.
No, three's not in there. So.
So, what were you going to guess?
Speaker 2 101.
Speaker 1
Y'all, you motherfucker. All right.
I'll take six.
Speaker 1 I'll take 20.
Speaker 1 I want to get 17 so bad. Same his face.
Speaker 1 What was your number?
Speaker 6 99.
Speaker 1 Nice pick, Gift.
Speaker 1 Four!
Speaker 1 You were so close to three.
Speaker 1 You were so close to three.
Speaker 2 I would have picked six.
Speaker 1 Six times. Six times.
Speaker 6 Lonnie Walker.
Speaker 1 I know you would have picked six. You're on six or seventeen.
Speaker 1 There's another one. Oh, that's a couple couple more.
Speaker 6 Yeah, you should keep you should keep jumping around, hanging.
Speaker 1 Yeah, that's smart.
Speaker 1 Moron.
Speaker 1 It's worked this far.
Speaker 6 Love you guys.
Speaker 14 Geese fly in a V-shaped formation because it reduces wind resistance.
