It's Pardon My Take, presented by Barstool Sports. Welcome to Pardon My Take.
Today is Monday, May 1st. And Hank, we should probably just start with you.
Hank, the floor is yours. Hank? PFT is not saying anything.
I want to say that the Bruins season was not a failure. I was trying to say that, Hank, first of all.
He gave me the floor and you just stepped all over. I'm sorry for your loss.
I had the floor. I did not invite you to dance with me.
Hank, we should usually introduce what we're talking about. You always remind people to do that.
So I'm just trying to be helpful. Yeah, but go ahead.
The Bruins lost in heartbreaking fashion after being the President's Cup trophy winner. They had the most wins in NHL history this year.
And I think we said before this series started, it would be a colossal failure, anything less than Stanley Cup. This was a lot less than Stanley Cup.
You lost in the first round to Jake's Florida Panthers. Diehard Jake.
Jake hit you with a really, really very polite celebration. Almost too polite when he won.
So, Hank, the floor is yours. How do you feel about your Boston Bruins being the biggest chokers in the history of the NHL? Yeah, I want to use the Giannis quote and say that it's not a failure.
It's just steps to success. But I don't know how he could say that.
That was a complete abject failure. It just hurt a lot, especially at the end of the game.
Bergeron was going through the teammate handshake line and hugging everyone. It seemed like that might be his last.
It could be it for him. They've had an unbelievable run for the last, I don't even know, over 10 years, since 2011.
And they had their best team of all time this year. It felt like this was going to end.
They made it to Game 7 in the Stanley Cup a couple years ago, lost that. This felt like it was going to be a great, you know, end of the era championship run, most points of all time, most wins of all time.
Would have been the best team of all time president's cup they got the goalie cup whatever the fuck that was pasta got the scoring cup whatever the fuck that's called it's it's the it's complete failure it's the downside of sports fandom because you sit there and you grind with them all year long and you watch all these wins and you think it's a magical cut short. And it's like unfinished business.
And obviously, you know, I am a Bruins diehard, although, you know, it's been seven games. I didn't see this team as the best team of all time.
Hank was saying, as far as I could tell, this team's not that good from what I've watched this year. This was not the team that people watched in the regular season.
Yeah, it's true. All right, so I got spin zone for you, Hank, because, you know, that did suck.
I mean, Game 7 playoff hockey, there's nothing like it in sports. Game 7 playoff hockey, overtime, it is the cruelest thing in all of sports.
It is the feeling you get when you lose lose a game seven i was saying to feidelberg uh uh you know in between periods i was like dude even like the blackhawks runs like i still can can visualize the kings in 2014 beating the blackhawks in overtime in game seven the western conference final the puck like bouncing in and being like wait it's over there's nothing like you just it you sit there and be like how is it over like keep this game going this is not fair there's nothing like it in sports but hank i have something to cheer you up one is president's you know co-trop sorry excuse me president's cup trophy like that that this happens this happens a? And you could just word for word, which I think you should do right now live while we're taping, just copy and paste the Tampa Bay Lightning tweet from 2019 when they had the best record in the NHL and they got swept by the Blue Jackets in the first round. For people who don't remember it, the Tampa Bay Lightning main account tweeted this right after.
We don't have any words and we know you don't want to hear them we understand your anger your frustration your sadness everything you're feeling we get it this isn't the ending we imagined and certainly not the one we wanted thank you for being there the entire way you gotta just tweet that let everyone know you're there for them i'm not there for them you're out of the celtics you got way bigger business to go honestly and this is where it's you know boston people might get mad at me because obviously i am a diehard bruins fans but i am more of a diehard celtics fan this is bad for the celtics this is like as a city as a whole you're both you know top seeds you gotta you gotta put the pressure on in the early rounds, and the fact that the Bruins lost,

it almost kind of, like, sets the tone of, like, anything can happen,

and that's not where you want to be.

You want to be the city of champions.

You want to be, you know, the powerhouse.

Everyone's going to the Stanley Cup finals.

Everyone's going to the NBA championship.

They had a lead.

It looked like, you know, they had a chance to empty net.

Pasta fucking got that goal.

He had, he scored the overtime goal.

It got so lucky, hit the goalies, like like stick when he wasn't even trying to block it oh that's a save but it wasn't okay it was an accidental save it was yeah by mistake he was just in really good position and you could say that it's the curse of Bobrovsky too but Sergei Bobrovsky uh the goaltender for this Florida Panthers team is also the goaltender for the Columbus Blue Jackets when they beat the Tampa Bay Lightning, whose statement Hank is about to crib right now word for word. Now, we should address, Hank, the NHL rigged conversation.
Yeah. Because it seems like there was a script that needed to be followed at the end of this game with a minute left.
Actually, just over a minute left. I'd say about a minute five left.
The graphic flashed on the screen. The score bug updated.
It said goal, Florida Panthers, tie ball game 3-3. Yeah.
Right at the end. It was about five seconds before the actual goal was scored.
It was more than that. It was like 20 seconds.
We were on the live stream.

I was like, why did a goal just flash?

And everyone was like, wait, I didn't see that.

It was like 20 seconds.

You can watch it back clear as day.

They updated the score before the puck went in.

So, hmm, really makes you think on that.

And now if you are a Leafs fan out there, and before this game, Hank,

I told you, I tweeted this out just for the record, that I wanted the Bruins to win because you want to beat the best if you want to be the best you know no easy ways out i didn't want the panthers i wanted hank i wanted the bruins i think all of toronto would back me up on that they were saying we want florida uh but i think what they were really saying they were trying to reverse jinx themselves into saying that we want the bruins that also just to defend tor defend Toronto for a second, there was also a clip where they said, we want Boston. They were just chanting shit.
Covering your bases. Yeah, yeah, right.
They were chanting both. And then the one obviously saying, we want Florida, got put out there.
What are you going to say, Billy? Billy's got something he wants to say. I wanted Hank to win, and I wanted to go through Hank to get to these Stanley Cup finals.
Yeah. I just want to say, what's worse? Regular season success and then losing it all in the Super Bowl with the 18-1 Patriots season or this Bruins collapse? Good question.
I mean, because the first round upset's almost worse than getting all the way to the end. It's definitely the Super Bowl.
Are you thinking right now? No, it's obviously the Super Bowl. I don't know.
I mean, this was the greatest regular season of all time. No, but that was an upset.
This is a collapse. This happens in hockey.
This is not like I'm not just trying to make Hank feel better. This is not on the same level as a Milwaukee Bucs.
This is not on the same level as a one seed losing a 16 this happens every few years like i mean the tempe lightning were the best team in hockey they got swept in the first round i think the abs did it a couple years ago i don't think hank was thinking about the answer that hank was thinking about how he wanted to kill billy yeah like what method he was going to use to kill him in that in that But I disagree with the big cat. I think this is worse than the bucks just because the Bruins.
Yes. Yes.
Because the Bruins were the best hockey team of all time. That all time, but they also, that also was that, that also was a record that is hard.
Like the Red Wings in the nineties had a better record if they had, they had ties back then. So, I mean, well, it's also, it's, it's like the golden state warriors when they had the best record in the NBA.
If they were to lose in the first round, that would be worse than the Bucs losing in the first round. I just think it happens a lot in hockey.
It does. It happens more often.
It just happens a lot in hockey. There's precedent for it.
It happens. – it seems like every couple years.
They showed the graphic the last time a team had the best record and won the Stanley Cup is all the way back to 2013. So it tells you, like, the volatility of the NHL playoffs.
Yeah, and I think it's, like, back to 2007. It's only – I think there have only been one, maybe two Stanley Cup champions that also won the President president's cup trophy which i love that we just go back and forth all the time and now we're just saying president's cup trophy i don't know if it's president's cup the president's trophy we just say both on this show because it's because it's the cup it's because it's the cup because it's the cup don't forget the goalie cup uh because watching that i i know what you're saying like you flash back to the moments when you've watched playoff hockey when when your team has been involved in these overtime games and it in the moment it feels it doesn't feel fun at all it just feels like you're on the edge of your seat but i i do miss that sensation when you're watching playoff hockey it's it's so fun to watch but you really wish you were involved somehow to feel the emotions oh it's like it's like porn in that way absolutely and it really is it is like the overtime in in a game seven there's just no feeling like it because you just sit there if you lose in a game seven overtime you sit there just staring at the tv like how is it over right now how is this finished like they have to be keep they have to play more this is not fair and you go through all the emotions.
It's hard to replicate in any other sport, you know,

other than, like, maybe Joe Carter's walk-off in the World Series.

Like, there's not a lot that could replicate that feeling.

But it's so different in hockey, too, because the game is so fluid

that anything can happen at any given time.

Whereas if you're watching baseball, you know, okay,

this next pitch could be a home run. When your team's not up to bat, you're like, okay, now's the time where I have to prepare myself.
In hockey, it's just like 30-second swings, 15-second swings, back and forth, back and forth. I'm curious to know, Jake, you are a very gracious winner.
You've got a history of being a gracious winner on the show. Is there anything that you'd like to say after this resounding victory? He was just causing a scene.
Yeah, no, it was a crazy series. I'm happy for the diehard Panther fans that I know at home.
I'm obviously not one of them, but they don't get this feeling often. So it's crazy.
Can I make a suggestion? In the spirit of NHL playoffs, and this is the one thing that we love the most about the sport, is the handshake line after every series. I think we should do a part of my take handshake line.
Oh, right now? Hank and Jake. Hank and Jake, yeah.
Please. To honor the boys in the middle.
Please. Let's have a handshake.
Handshake line, guys. Come on.
Get up there. Do it, Hank.
Give a handshake. Hank's getting up.
He's not so happy about this. Jake is already up, ready to go.
Hank took off his hat, and then Jake went in for the hug. Hank shunned the hug.
It's a handshake line, Jake. Well, sometimes they hug.
Sometimes they hug. Going back to your guys' debate, who are the two teams that sparked it this playoff season? What? The Panthers.
Yeah florida runs the world south florida giant killers yeah they are they are giant and fau yeah and miami final four um all right so any last words hank patrice bergeron uh that honestly it's it's sticking with me it's super sad if that's his last game been on the bruins 20 years feels like he should have won more than one cup. He's just been so good for so long, and the fact that he's going to retire is super, super, super sad.
Yeah. Yeah.
One little footnote on this game. The Leafs have the Bruins' first rounder, so that's kind of crazy that the Bruins lost and the Leafs kind of got a double win.
Just if you're like a hockey, if you're a real puck boy. If you're just looking at the draft as well.
You've got one eye on the draft, one eye on eye on the playoffs. Always.
People think it's easy being a Boston fan. It's like it's just not.
Shut the fuck up. I mean, that was a devastating loss.
Yeah. PFT.
It was. I mean, I agree.
I agree. It is devastating.
I've been there. I watched them lose game seven at home too.
But you do have a team that's playing tomorrow night that has, or tonight, as we're taping this tonight, that's the favorite to win the NBA title. But that's pressure.
That's what I was saying the whole time. I know, but there's some nice solace in that, that you can go right to the next thing.
I know, but the Sixers, man, they're... Oh, man.
All right, well, we'll get to that. You had some wiggle room.
I understand that. It's like, okay, you already lost all your margin for error.
Now, if one team loses, you're done with all the playoffs. I get that stuff, but I will stand in and say, shut the fuck up, Hank, anytime you say how tough it is to be a Boston sports fan.
Since this show has existed, I've watched Patriots lose the Super Bowl. I've watched the Celtics lose NBA championship at home.
And I've watched the Bruins lose Game 7. And I just watched the best team hockey team of all time.
Yeah, but I'm just saying. It's not easy.
I think I've watched as many teams lose championships as you have. It has been here for six months.
Wait, Hank. So, I get it.
Also, Hank, you've watched the patriots win two superbowls three over the rams and 28 to three the biggest superbowl comeback of all time yeah we i was talking about the bad stuff i didn't like i was saying all right so everyone you know if you're listening to this right now please say a prayer for for hank lockwood thank you he's going through it i appreciate he's trending Twitter right now, which is very funny. I didn't look into it, but it was 10,000 tweets.
Then it just said, Twitter trend Hank. Are we sure it's not Henrik Lundqvist? It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter. Don't worry about it.
Like I said, sometimes I'll trend on a random day, and it's because Tiger Woods hit a random golf shot in his house in Florida. Doesn't matter.
Hank was trending.

Okay, let's talk some other sports.

Let's talk some other Game 7s.

Steph Curry put on maybe the best playoff performance he's ever had.

50 points.

Game 7 against the Kings.

Never been done in a Game 7 in the NBA playoffs, which is nuts.

Incredible, incredible series. Incredible game from steph the warriors are marching on i i mean that was we're so lucky to get to watch steph i was thinking about it right like we we had the uh a few years ago where we had a nitpick steph curry and we came up with that he chooses mouth guard weird that was the only thing we could find that we really didn't like about him.
I don't know. He is an incredible player, obviously.
I mean, people are saying top 10 all time now. I wouldn't disagree with that.
And I know I might be in the minority here because I think there's a lot of Warriors fatigue, especially if one of your teams has played them in a finals or on the way to a finals I still love watching the Warriors play basketball and I still love watching Steph Curry like I don't I have no hate for him whatsoever and I was watching that game today being like we're so lucky to get to watch a guy like this play basketball because you can't you can't say anything about him you can't say that the refs give him calls you can't say that he plays cheap style of basketball. You can say that he ruined basketball because now every kid wants to be Steph Curry and they're hucking threes from the logo, and that's how the game's played right now.
But you can't say that Steph Curry isn't one of the all-time greats to watch. There's really nothing about his game that you can pick apart and be like, oh, actually, he's not that good.
You put him on this team and he'd suck. No, you put Steph Curry on any team and they would be an instant contender.
And 50 points in game seven cements it. We've got the return of the third quarter.
Well, he already cemented it. He already had cemented it.
But yeah, further cemented it. In my opinion, Big Cat, what we've got coming up right now is a legacy series.
Yes. We've got LeBron versus Steph.
And that's going to be awesome to watch. But we also saw the return of the third quarter Warriors.
And it feels like the third quarter Warriors haven't been a thing in the last couple of years. So I looked up the stats on them.
So the Warriors have been they've been known since about 2014 as being just a team that will slit your throat at the start of the third quarter. And that's how they that's how they differentiate themselves from any other team in the NBA.
They were in terms of plus minus. They were the best team in the NBA from 2014 until 2019 and that's every single I'm not talking about like on aggregate in the 2014-15 season they were first place 2015-16 they were first place all the way through 2018-2019 season they were first place in third quarter plus minus every single year and then they dropped down because they had that injury year where Clay and Stouffer both hurt.
Then they bounced back a little bit, and then they got back to being number one again in 2021-2022. Then this year they sucked again for the vast majority of the year.
They were like a slightly below average team in third quarter. And then tonight they come out, they outscore them by 12 in the third quarter.
I think that what we've seen is the return officially of the third quarter Warriors. And I wouldn't be surprised if this continues throughout the rest of the playoffs.
Well, it was the other crazy thing from this game is that the second, third, and fourth leading scorers on the Warriors team were combined 12 of 44. So that's Wiggins, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Poole.
12 of 44. If you want to just do starters, Wiggins and Klay were 9 of 35.
Imagine having your second and third scoring options go 9 for 35 in a game 7 on the road and then be like, yeah, you actually comfortably won this because you have Steph Curry and he can he basically is just a get out of jail free card for anything that like could bad that could happen to the Warriors like oh we still have Steph Curry I also was thinking about it I know that people don't like the Warriors for many reasons obviously one of them being Kevin Durant Warriors him going there if you don, you didn't like the Kevin Durant warriors, which I'm not going to argue against because it, it was, it was almost unfair at times how good they were. I still loved watching him because I just love like the way the warriors play basketball is fun to watch from as a, as a basketball fan.
But if you were like, I hated them because of that and taking out Hank, he's, he's got PTSD from the the Warriors we were talking about earlier, but taking out that, if the Warriors won the title this year, that would be objectively funny that Steph would have five and KD would have two and Steph would have more without KD than with him, and it's like KD's almost a little barnacle on Steph, the Titanic that is Steph, and his career.

That would be awesome.

I agree.

It would be funny.

And also, if you beat LeBron on the way there

and then came back and won another one next season and had six,

that would be funny.

I think we could root for that, all of us.

I also should just say I'm unbiased, but I do have a future on the Warriors.

But I never really hated – again, we go back to when we were trying to find a way to hate Steph and all we came up with was that he chews on his mouth guard a lot. Like, that was it.
Like, it's just something about him. He is so much fun to watch.
And this game today, you knew while you were watching it, you were watching something special. Hank disagrees with everything that's been said.
No, I'm not. Hank hank's grumpy i'm not even listening okay yeah he's grumpy i so i do put an asterisk on this series because delhi didn't play and delhi is the he's the steph stopper that's what he's got reputation on i would have liked to see what the kings had done with the beam if they had won at 3 30 local time they would have lit you like the beam yeah can you like the beam during daytime? They did it for the first time that the beam ever was lit was during the daytime.
Can you see it during the day? No, you can't. I think the first beam lit in history was, I think they won a road game in Charlotte on like an afternoon, on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, and they lit the beam, and no one knew what was going on.
So I'm happy, though. So the Kings had an incredible season.
They got a lot to build on. You do have to figure out what's going on with Sabonis because there's nothing worse in basketball than watching a guy.
He got the Ben Simmons treatment. They were just basically giving him all the space in the world to shoot 16-foot jumpers, and he wouldn't do it.
He did it a couple times a couple times made a couple but he missed a few um but they have they have a bright bright future i'm very happy i was afraid for a moment they were gonna light the beam out of like being like what a season we'll always remember this season they didn't because i was gonna be like that would have been the end of the beam uh the only other two things i had from this game i fucking love kevon looney so much that dude is, Steve Kerr actually called him one of the best centers. I don't know if I'd go that far, but he had, so after the Warriors went down 0-2, he had in the games 20 rebounds, 14 rebounds, 22 rebounds, 13 rebounds, 21 rebounds.
He averaged 18 rebounds a game in those five games.

He had 10 offensive rebounds today.

He is like every championship team, every team like this needs some of those guys that do the dirty work. And I just love watching him just get every board and hustle for every board.

He doesn't even have like freak athleticism, but he's just, he knows where he's got to be.

And he's always fighting.

And I just love watching it.

And then the last thing, and we'll talk more about it with Dylan Brooks, but Malik Monk, I don't,

All right. But he knows where he's got to be, and he's always fighting.
And I just love watching it. And then the last thing, and we'll talk more about it with Dylan Brooks, but Malik Monk, I wouldn't say this was shit talk, but this was more like a quote that maybe you wish you had back.
After the Game 6 win, which was shocking, because I think everyone thought the Kings weren't going to be able to win in San Francisco. But he said, we knew we could run them with only one day off between games.
It's an even quicker turnaround for game seven. I felt a little more on them.
They were a little tired. We're younger than they are.
Going to try to do the same thing Sunday. Basically being like, these guys are old.
We can do this. And you saw what a championship team looks like and a championship player more than anything in Steph Curry.

Yeah, so the Kings, I think it's safe to say the future is bright in Sacramento,

Northern California in general, but especially in Sacramento

because they're so young and they're fun.

And they're one of the best offenses that we've seen in a very long time in the NBA.

So they're fun to watch.

They're going to be around for a while.

Looney is absolutely a guy that you want on a team

that's going to make a deep run like a dog.

He's a dog.

And then you've got, you mentioned Sabonis.

So we know him originally as Arvita Sabonis' son.

Correct.

Right?

And you remember Arvita Sabonis,

great center from back in the day.

I read a story about Arvita Sabonis

that talked about his whirlwind romance

that he had with Miss,

I think she was Miss Lithuania

that might not even be the right country but one of those eastern european countries and um you know how he asked her to marry him how he left he left an engagement ring on the toilet and then and then she found it and she was like oh are you asking me to marry me and he was like yeah i guess so he never even really like asked her he just put it on the toilet and he's like oh she'll find this eventually so it was it was a blumpkin engagement it was a blunt a full-on blumpkin engagement yeah absolutely uh but yeah credit to the kings kings are awesome i'm gonna be rooting for them because they're fun or maybe there's just like a one-time fling that i had where i kind of fell in love with them for a short time because they were cool for a couple games and the beam was good vibes. But I don't regret it.
I know Hank's thinking because he's grumpy right now. I told you guys about the Kings.
No, he was right, though. I hate it when you guys say what I'm thinking.
No, you were right. You were right.
I'm not going to let him gaslight you. I was wrong.
I said they weren't going to win another game. Yeah, but you were right.
So now you're gaslighting yourself by not gaslighting me. No, you were right.
You were right. I was wrong.
Okay, you were wrong. Another one.
Mark another one for Hank. He's a loser.
Hank, if you have any clutch gene in your life, you'll get the lottery ball today. Even a little bit of clutch gene, he'll get it.
I got a better seat, so. In a little bit of clutch gene, he'll get it.
It'd be so funny if he got it today because he wouldn't even really be that happy this would actually be the perfect day he would get it no no no he would be he would he's already forgotten the bruins he would be the happiest guy in the world whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa what it's i got an hour and 15 minutes left until monday okay all right and then the c time. All right, so let's talk about who the Warriors are playing.
The Lakers, who demolished the Grizzlies on Friday night. It worked out so poetic that before the series, Dylan Brooks said, I wouldn't mind playing LeBron in a seven-game series.
The legacy is there. First time back in the playoffs.
Knock him out right away. That'll be a good first-round matchup for us.
Got knocked out in six games. And then also during that series says, I don't respect anyone until they give me 40.
The Grizzlies lost by exactly 40 on Friday night. We had afterwards LeBron with some all-time social media use he so i don't really know how to describe this emoji i think it's i think it's just trying to swear but bleeping out a swear so he said unlike you little swear word bleeped out these are rap lyrics okay oh these are i'm a grown-ass man big shoes to fill grown-ass pants probably hustle with your pops go ask your parents so he went jay-z song on twitter and then on instagram posted uh if you ever if you ever see me fighting in the forest with a grizzly bear help the bear uh which was awesome and then shannon sharp who gets like a just chill out man of the year maybe we'll put this for a takey uh put this in the nominations jake he commented on lebron's instagram saying i'm pouring honey on you goat illegal to kill a bear unless being attacked so there you go uh yeah he's pouring honey on lebron in this made-up lebron bear weird thing that happened after the game but the lakers are good the lakers are fucking good and, shut the Grizzlies up.
And yeah, I mean, it's going to be an incredible, incredible series watching the Warriors versus Lakers. The real question now is, would you, would you rather pay? Would you rather have $500,000 or have dinner with LeBron James? That's the question.
Now I think that LeBron is his legacy is on the line. Wait, why is that the question? Because Jay-Z.
Oh, that's Jay-Z. Okay.
Yeah, it was a Jay-Z letter. Got it.
But his legacy is on the line. I'm personally putting LeBron's legacy on the line in this matchup against Steph Curry.
So if Steph beats him, Steph goes up to number two all time. It's going to be as far as I'm concerned.
It's going to be fucking awesome. awesome it's every other night it's the only series that's playing every other night the Lakers had five different leading scorers in the series against the Grizzlies which is pretty crazy on a team with LeBron and AD who I think when they won the title in the bubble year it was just basically LeBron AD leading scorers they went Hachimura, LeBron, AD, Austin Reeves, AD, and then D'Angelo, uh, scored 31 on, in game six.
So I, yeah, I like, I'm, I officially have retracted my statement to the Lakers. They are very much live to win the title to go deep.
And now we get to see one of like, if, if, if you told Adam silver, you'd get lebron and steph in the second round like he would be like how much do i pay like this is going to be a must watch every single game nba playoff series that's why i'm a little bit upset about about how the whole scott foster thing worked out because we're deprived of a scott foster nba rigged moment in uh in the warriors game because it wasn't even, there were no like close calls. There was nothing that Scott did to impact that game.
It was purely Steph. I was hoping that we would get an NBA wants LeBron against Steph moment, but we didn't get that.
I'm a little bit upset about it, but yeah, I'm pumped. I'm super excited for the Lakers series against the Warriors.
That's going to be awesome. Yes.
CTV. Also, last thing on Dylan Brooks, he got fined $25,000 for not doing

media availability multiple times,

which rules. No one had

a worse

playoff performance

start to finish than Dylan Brooks.

Could not have scripted worse. He is

a complete joke.

I actually

think he'll have a career, but I wouldn't be shocked if his career is just over because of this like mentally i i know that that's crazy to say but it he he could not have had a worse playoffs yeah yeah no mentally you're right like you can't come back from this the only way that you can come back from this is by putting 40 on lebron which he's not going to do right so i say – and also, I want to get ahead of this. I do not want to be old takes exposed on this because what I'm saying is correct right now, but this could end up very poorly for me.
Anthony Davis looks super healthy, like the healthiest that I've seen him in a long time. Yeah, he's definitely going to get hurt now.
I mean, he gets hurt every game. He gets hurt every game.
But he's so healthy. He's so healthy.
At this moment, Anthony Davisis is so healthy he gets hurt every single game we're gonna say jake two quick things going back to lebron's tweet i looked it up i thought it was interesting that he tweeted during the playoffs he hasn't done the zero dark 30 23 since 2017 yeah which he broke because he liked perfect booties oh really yeah no i was it was one of the the best stories I've ever broke. Oh, really? Yeah.
Oh, that's awesome. He was liking Instagram pictures.
During the playoffs? And he liked an account, Perfect Booties. Yeah.
That was when Instagram still showed you what other people were liking. That might have been in like 2015.
Okay. Yeah.
Yeah, I think it was when- It just used to be such a big deal when he would do the shutdown. It was when the Cavs or the Heat were playing the Bulls in the playoffs.
Yeah. And then second, we have a little bit of seedagami here.
We have one seed represented total. So we have the number one Nuggets, number two Celtics, three Sixers, four Suns, five Knicks, six Warriors, seven Lakers, eight Heat.
For the first time since they went to 16 teams in the postseason, it's one team with each seed advancing. That's very cool.
It's wild back it's wild jake very wild and people like they should reseed it's like opposite conferences yeah yeah no it's wild when you tweeted that i was like that's that's fucking cool that's that's very cool it's also crazy to see the um the difference like if i think it's like if the knicks play the warriors in the finals, the Knicks would have home court advantage. Well, is it by, in the finals, is it by seed or overall record? I think it's overall record.
And there was one other that was crazy. Oh, it was, if the Heat played the Lakers in the finals, the Heat would have home court advantage.
Yeah, that would be awesome. Yeah.
That's crazy. Yeah, so it has been an awesome, I mean, we knew it we knew it going in like I don't I know that there'll probably be some people being like the big takeaway from this but we we everyone who's watching the NBA season knew that like this these playoffs were gonna be crazy we didn't expect the Bucks to lose the heat but in the West we all thought that the you know the Suns the Warriors and the Lakers were probably better than the seeds that they were playing in the first round, and that proved to be true.
This might be the best Final Four ever in the Western Conference. When you look at the four teams that are still left, that's fucking awesome.
The West is so good. So good.
This is a ratings dream. Yes, ratings dream.
All across the board. And we should talk about the Suns and talk about the sons and nuggets the nuggets fucking put it on them uh jamal murray because he was injured for what felt like forever because we last like the last time i think we saw him play in the playoffs was the bubble uh yeah he's really fucking good and i don't think the sons another old takes exposed i don't know what the sons are going to do with Jokic, Jamal Murray, pick and roll.
Like they were just doing whatever they wanted. And it was a great, if you're a Suns hater, which I probably, yeah, I guess I'd say I don't really hate the Suns as an organization.
I just am not a fan of Chris Paul. Chris Paul doing his classic Chris Paul where he's down and losing.
And he toes that perfect line of, is he dirty or is he just like trying to be an extra competitor? I think he's usually dirty. We had that moment too, which is fun where it's like usually just Chris Paul defeated.
I'm going to try to injure someone. But if you look at it, maybe I was trying to make a basketball play.
Yeah. He was diving at knees out there.
It looked like when guys used to try to tackle Gronk back in the day and they knew that they couldn't hit him anywhere above the waist and so they just aimed for his ACL and tried to take him out. That's what Chris Paul was doing to Nuggets players.
So I stand my prediction, which is Nugs and Six. I think it's going to be Nugs and Six.
And if their big three's cooking, then we're in business. I got nothing to worry about.
Yeah, all starters on the Nuggets scored double digits.

Like, they're finally – this is finally the best version of the Nuggets

through many years of having injuries and disappointing playoffs.

I know that you don't want to overreact to one game, but I don't –

like, they looked very, very good,

and it looked like the Suns didn't have the answers for them.

Yep, yep.

Everything's coming up Denver right now. I'm happy where I sit.
Rado. All right, last game.
Knicks Heat. So, the Fleming curse is alive.
Our colleague Frank the Tank is now a Knicks fan, and the Knicks went out and lost to the Heat, blowing a, I think they were up double digits at one point. Early.
Yeah. Jimmy Butler gets hurt.
And the big story was that Jimmy Butler gets hurt in, what was it, early fourth quarter. And the Knicks spent the entire fourth quarter not going after Jimmy Butler, who was clearly hobbled and standing in the corner.
They put Josh Hart on him and standing in the corner being like a decoy. They were playing four and five and the heat outlast them kyle lowry was awesome uh he is like the definition of a gamer heat culture couldn't be more alive i couldn't be more wrong and i hope jimmy butler's okay yeah uh he had a pretty nasty sprained ankle i think they went at him one time after he sprained his ankle and then they just kind of forgot to keep attacking the guy that couldn't move which was an interesting strategy by Tibbs yeah the best part of the game was in the third quarter we got some vintage Kevin Love outlet passes oh yeah like three in a row I don't think that there's a sweeter play in basketball than Kevin Love throwing like a 60 foot outlet pass right on the money there were three of them that that just put him in a spot that only his own player could get and led immediately to dunk our layup.
It was so sick to watch. He's the best in the league at that by far.
I had that as a note. I was like, I just love watching Kevin Love throw outlet passes.
Because if we make it... No, it was just perfect.
They were just perfectly timed, easy layups, full court passes. And that was back to his UCLA dayscla days it was like this guy can outlet pass better than anyone and you saw it like he it was rejuvenized kevin love it is so sweet watching when he does it because it looks like it's actually like almost a cheat code because there's not many guys who can do what he can do when it comes to the the catch rebound, turnaround, perfect pass in stride for an easy layup.

If Patrick Mahomes does this, the media won't shut up about it for a week.

Jake, can we actually make a highlight clip,

just like a compilation of all of Kevin Love's best outlet passes?

I would watch the fuck out of that.

I'm on it.

I'll work on it on Monday.

Yeah, definitely.

But we've got to add to it. We've got to update it.
I'm on it. Yeah.
Kevin Love, best quarterback in the building that day. That's right.
Yeah. So I thought you were going to say the Aaron Rodgers curse.
His bucks got bounced. Well, he was at the Rangers game and they won.
Yeah, he was at the Rangers game on Saturday night. I don't count that.
Yeah. He looks happy.
I get so happy. I got to see it twice, Rangers and Knicks, where they showed him on the Jumbotron, showed him on the telecast, and put Jets quarterback underneath.
And I was like, yeah, this is awesome. This is real.
He's going to love it. I also loved all the clips that they showed of the old fights between the Knicks and the Heat from back in the day, one where jeff van gundy just wraps his entire body around alonzo morning's leg like like an ankle probation monitor yeah just like strapped up trying to hold him back that that might be the funniest sports clip of all time when when jeff van gundy sprints onto the court to try to break up a fight and he ends up just grabbing alonzo morning's and holding on like like winnie the pooh trying

to climb up to to like a uh honey hive yeah getting just ragdolled everywhere and especially

with his hair and just everything it was just so everything about it yeah so funny so good um all

right so yeah that i okay i don't want to piss off nicks fan because i do like watching them get

excited but it would be funny if they got bounced and it was like yet again they got so excited about

Thank you. I don't want to piss off Knicks fans because I do like watching them get excited, but it would be funny if they got bounced and it was like, yet again, they got so excited about one series.
But enjoy the ride. You guys won a series.
That's good. Enjoy the ride.
You're taking baby steps here. Enjoy the ride.
Enjoy the ride. I'm going to poke my head out of the whole Knicks fan when they start getting good.
What? That's disgusting. Yeah.
Hank would never do that. He wouldn't.
But it was kind of like, ah, shit. Billy doesn't get it.
He was saying that because he just did that with the Bruins. No, he didn't.
No, yeah, it's fun. It's like the Knicks fans, it is fun.
But it is also like I think it's fair when people are like, oh, too bad the Knicks fans can't hold a parade outside of Madison Square Garden because they didn't win game one because they do hold a parade after every win. But it is fun.
I mean, it's an electric environment. So enjoy the ride.
It is. And the reason why I was busted on york sports fans in general is just because they have such a big tradition of winning that when they celebrate tiny little things like this it's hilarious it's very funny to see the entire city going nuts after like one home game win but the next you guys don't serious get excited the knicks don't really have a history of winning but they act like they do yeah we were i went on chris long's podcast and and he He was asking who are the Knicks don't really have a history of winning.
But they act like they do. Yeah.
I went on Chris Long's podcast, and he was asking who are the Knicks of football, and unfortunately it is the Bears because it's like there's some history there, and then when you look into it, it's like, well, they haven't really won a lot at all, ever, but they won once, so that's cool. I think the Knicks have won twice.
But, yeah, they don't have really a history of strong winning in in new york i would say the vast majority of the people who are listening to this podcast right now do not remember a time when the knicks were good at basketball you know what it is though it's new york is a basketball city like like new york new yorkers love basketball so i think that's where it comes through and i do appreciate that and love watching that that part is awesome to watch where everyone rallies around the Knicks it's just you got to win this series because there has been a lot of hype and you have home court and Jimmy Butler's ankle might be busted so now you kind of have no excuses like you got to win this series you got a window you got a window to win right now so Jimmy the story is going to be Jimmy Butler's ankle and tomorrow morning it's probably going to wake up and be like the size of a grapefruit. And that's going to be tough to play through.
And then he's going to put like 40 on them on Tuesday night. Yeah, as long as Jimmy Butler just doesn't continue to act like Jimmy Butler.
He's one of those guys where if he's hurt, I'm like, he's not that hurt. Yeah, yeah.

We're finally here.
Sixers-Celtics, game one, Monday night. Max is going through it so bad, PFT, he just keeps saying, like, he's got to play.
He's got to play. He's got to play.
To no one. Like, I just walk into a room and Max is mumbling, he's got to play.
Embiid's got to play to no one like i just walk into a room and max is mumbling he's got to play and beads got to play um so he's max is max is so down bad he's misreading tweets that gets sent to the group chat there was one that said that his knee injury is worse than a grade one sprain that they thought it was and max was like that's fine he's fine he'll be fine that's just a grade one sprain that's not that serious not understanding that they're saying no, no, it's worse than a grade one sprain. They're leaking that news out there to set expectation that he's not going to play for probably at least two games.
So, Max? It's fine. It's fine.
It could just be, you know, wanting to catch Celtics off guard. You know? He was practicing today.
Taking some jumpers. I don't know.
If he doesn't play, it's not fair. How much time did you spend this weekend thinking about your face being completely shaven? The sweep clause is such fucking bullshit.
Just win one game. You agreed to it.
I know I agreed to it because I have to agree to everything. No, that's not true.
Yes, it is. Facts.
They try and get me to do cat pets like every day. I always just say no.
Two months of a soul patch. You can put your foot down.
I put my foot down with Ray Allen. Yeah, well.
That said a lot. Max, this is on the city of Philadelphia.
You guys got to win one home game. You can't blame Joel Embiid for getting swept.
You guys have to pull together and win one game at home. I have a question for Max.
Would you rather have had Joel Embiid go off, go off in that game at the end of the season versus Celtics, basically winning him the MVP? Or would you rather have him, when the three seed was already, they already locked into the three seed. It didn't matter if they won or lost that game.
Or would you have preferred he rests and then he could have played, even if it was just one more game against the Celtics in the playoffs? I don't give a fuck about the MVP. I've said that.
So B. But that doesn't mean anything.
Like him playing in a regular season game. What am I supposed to be like, oh, yeah, one plus one equals two.
If he doesn't play in that regular season game. That's how it works.
That's not how it fucking works. No, that's how it works.
No, it's not. Yeah, that was wear and tear on his knee.
It's just a would you rather, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
There is no would you rather. Fact or fiction.
He's experienced fatigue in playoffs before. Fact.
So don't you think you'd be smart when you're already locked into the three seed? It's a coincidence. It is a bad coincidence that he always...
I feel like the coincidence happens every year. I know what happens every year.
It's like how Trump thought that he thinks the human body is like a battery, and so every time you run or sweat, that's just energy that you'll never get back. That's what Hank's saying for this Joel Embiid thing where it's like, oh, well, if he hadn't played in that game, then he would have at least gotten one game in against Celtics.
No, you did go off though. That was a sick game.
It's science. You might suck if you get swept.
Now, we should also address the clause in the sweep bet because we talked after, that was the last show that we did, so that would be Thursday night. We talked after Thursday.
I don't remember this at all. The Soul Patch bet has two clauses in it.
No, but they're fair. I think they're fair clauses, and I think the AWOs will appreciate these clauses.
Big Cat is my bet. PFT and I aren't even involved in this series.
Yeah, you're making clauses without me being in the room. The sweep bet is a one-sided bet.
It is a one-sided bet, and it is complete bullshit. Sweeps are usually pretty one-sided.
The Sixers are 10-point dogs tomorrow. Would you meet Max halfway and count a 4-1 Sixers win as also in the sweep clause? Yes.
There it is. Deal.
Okay. So there you go.
I just got you an extra game. I'm going to make a graphic for everyone for all the clauses and all the scenarios.
So that's a fair clause that we just added. No, that's a fair clause.
So are you a little bit of, you know, I guess that doesn't really do anything to make it so that the Sixers won't get swept. No.
It just makes it like slightly. The giggle that you get during seeing these things is so sick.
I mean, you said Titletown. I know I said that.
I know I said that. You can't get upset about a sweep clause when you said title.

I immediately walked it back.

Floating around the office on a cloud for the for when Celtics blew game five and the Sixers had advanced like Max was basically on vacation in Puerto Rico just chilling with

a drink in his hand being like oh NBA championship we won because the Celticsics have yet to advance and we have they controlled their own destiny yeah all right so yeah the clauses so they're yeah we pft and i aren't involved in this series we are involved in the bet with you guys but we did point out after you walked out of the room hank pft has to go to his dad's memorial so having a soul patch at that would probably be bad luck.

So he can do the soul.

If he has to do the soul patch, it's after that.

And I pointed out, I guess that I am.

Thank you.

I am going to have my third child at any moment now.

And I said that I, too, would like to do the soul patch after the third child arrives.

And we take the first picture as a full family because I will get fucking murdered if i have a soul patch in that picture i guess fair as well okay so i will still do it if i don't get over 60 which i am rooting for to play because 60 and a half points for for my guy b-ball paul we could do that in one game also what there's an there's an imbead clause as well what there was there was an imbead there was what was it that if imbead doesn't he has to he has to play two games or something what for what like if if if he doesn't play in two games that it doesn't count wait how many players are on a basketball team what when did this clause happen we Can someone back me up? Does someone else remember this? I swear there was an Embiid clause. I mean, if Embiid doesn't play the whole fucking series, it's bullshit.
It's bullshit. Tatum shouldn't get to play.
Okay, will you agree on that? No. Tatum runs his sprints in the offseason.
He's ready for these runs. Hank, will you do everything in your power to make sure that Tatum doesn't play, just in fairness? That's the clause.
No. It's just you've got to win one game.
Yeah, it's really simple. Win one game.
Oh, my God. Whatever.
You had confidence that you were going to win this series a month ago. A week ago.
When the MVP is on the fucking floor fucking you don't care about mvps i'm just saying the best player in the league not playing makes a difference fact or fiction i know you're doing the fucking giggle i know you're doing it you make me laugh you make me laugh you're a funny guy all right so we're set what's the whatever Is there even someone to blame for the injury? Like, how did it happen? Exactly. I think it's because, well, Max has this theory that he knows how to fall, but he always gets injured.
So I don't think it makes sense. No, it's a good theory.
I don't know. It's a good theory.
No, it's not a theory. It's just a fact.
No, Max is like, oh, yeah. And B learned that he needs to fall more so that he won't get injured.
Yet he always gets injured. He was so healthy all year.
Yeah, I was doing some research today. I just typed in Embiid online and was looking at videos, and I was like, oh, here's Embiid at practice.
I was like, oh, fuck, he's at practice. He's probably playing.
He was stationary, literally did not move his legs, just, like, shooting shots from two feet away. He was jumping.
There was minimal air but he those feet were getting off the ground all right i'll say this for a full body cast putting a jump shot i think this is a fair and beat cause if a bead does not play at all in this series and you get swept you you can you can do one month if he does not play a single game in this series that's i agree to that that's fair. I think it was three.
No, I just. What? Wait.
Actually, no, that's the same thing. Yeah.
Wait. No, no, no, no, no, no.
If Embiid plays in one game. I'm going to go back and check the tapes.
I'm going to go back and check the tapes. Okay, you check the tapes.
I think that we said that if he sits three, even if he sits three out of the four. No, I don't think so.
I'm going to check the tapes. I'm going to check the tape.
I'm going to check the tape. Now you're making it worse.
You're going to make an AI version of part of my team. Two months of a soul patch.
This is where the, I will say this though, again, the tough part about being a Boston sports fan is like, the Bruins tonight give me a little less confidence. Yeah.
I'm not going to get ahead of myself.

You'll get sick of my soul patch face after a week.

We'll decide.

Two months is so long.

There is a very real possibility that after a week of seeing Max with soul patch,

we're just like, bets off.

No, no.

We'll decide.

We'll decide.

We'll all have to decide.

How about me and Hank fight instead?

Okay.

Deal. One thing about you.
You right uh nfl draft uh will levis finally got picked he's going to the tennessee titans uh we also saw i mean it was it was crazy that there was it felt like there was a lot of second round big names that went uh where did hendon hook totally played Detroit. Hendon Hooker went to the Lions.
Okay, that's a good pick. We had – yeah, like we said it on Friday that we miss when the draft is all one day because, like, on Saturday you wake up and you're like, oh, yeah, the draft is still going on.
This is still happening right now. But we remind everyone every year that draft grades mean absolutely nothing they're the funniest thing you always want to go and look and find your team and be like how does everyone think we're doing they mean nothing no one knows how these players are going to play uh the the one we always go back to is the 2012 seattle seahawks uh when bleacher reports someone wrote after one of the worst picks in the first round I can ever remember, the Seattle Seahawks didn't draft any positions in need or draft for the future.
Pete Carroll is proving why he didn't make it to the NFL the first time. Not only was Bruce Ervin a reach at number 15, the Seahawks proved they were oblivious to their madness by celebrating their selection.
As if the day wasn't bad enough, Seattle selecting Russell Wilson, a QB that doesn't fit their offense at all, was by far the worst move of the draft with two. With the two worst moves of the draft, Seattle is the only team that received an F on draft day.
Their picks that year were Bruce Irvin, Bobby Wagner, Russell Wilson. Yeah, so the Bobby Wagner thing sometimes gets lost because Bleacher Report doesn't mention that, and their strong take, but Bobby Wagner, one of the best linebackers of maybe forever in the NFL.
And then Russell Wilson, obviously, like, not fitting their system. The vaunted Seattle Seahawks quarterback system prior to Russell Wilson.
I think their backup at the time was – oh, it was a dude from Green Bay. Yeah.
Why is his name escaping? LSU. Now it's escaping me too.
Matt, no. That's going to kill me too matt that's gonna kill me yeah matt flynn matt flynn yeah yeah yeah so so yeah the grades mean nothing but i will say that on paper philadelphia is doing something very smart and that's just drafting every single georgia defensive player because they had the best defense maybe of all time in college football.
Maybe some of those hurricanes defense from the early two thousands were better, but that Georgia defense was so sick, nasty. So they have Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith.
Then they have Kelly Ringo, Jacoby Dean and Jordan Davis. And they got DeAndre Swift and they got DeAndre Swift too.
So they're building, they're building the Georgia of the North in Philadelphia, which is a smart move. I actually think that that's a good draft strategy to have.
I know that Kirby's smart. The way that he scouts players, he learned that from Bill Belichick.
And Bill Belichick's method of scouting players is pick the guy with the biggest ass. And so Kirby is recruiting guys with big asses.
Now Howie's drafting guys that Kirby has already been staring at their asses for three seasons. So the Eagles feel like that they made some good moves just by getting all those guys back.
It's going to be tougher. I guess Jalen Hurts, he has a history with Georgia too as well, but just getting his ass kicked by them for a half.
But I don't know. If if i played for the eagles and i wasn't uh georgia bulldog i'd feel a little bit left out by now yeah i mean it is it does feel like the eagles won the draft again none of this matters i we were gonna have uh our friend old takes exposed on before the draft but obviously our schedule got pretty crazy we i think we should do a mount rushmore with him uh sometime this summer but i was looking he had a he had a nice thread of post-draft grades and everything i'll just read a couple that are proved to everyone like what i would say to anyone who's a diehard fan of their team just go and find the best grade you can find and just go with that because it means nothing and you have no idea how these guys are going to pan out obviously some of these drafts sucked we won't know for a couple years but uh right now in the moment like i know everyone is trashing the lions because yeah probably picking a a running back at 12 is a little weird but you don't know how they're building their roster like they could work out and they could look like geniuses just like picking rus picking Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner, Bruce Irvin.
Worked out pretty well for the Seahawks. But here's a couple of funny ones.
So in 2011, someone from a Houston newspaper wrote, Texans will rue the night they took pizza boy J.J. Watt over Nick Fairley, Houston lover.
That's a pretty good one. There was one that was after the Cowboys took Emmitt Smith.
Emmitt Smith should be a solid, productive player, but he's no game breaker. He's what Herschel Walker has slumped into, a plotting straight-ahead type who won't outrun anyone.
Turned out to have, what, the most yards in NFL history? Of all time. Yeah, of all time.
Great great offensive line, though. Writer Greg Bedard wrote, people are high on Arizona tight end Gronkowski.
I don't see it at all. So there's, I mean, this one was from way, way back.
Bruce Smith, after he was selected by the Bills. Bruce Smith, Virginia Tech.
Smith is a happy-go-lucky guy who tends to be lazy. He also likes to eat.
That guy's in Canton now. So, yeah, pretty much everything that happens after the draft is bullshit.
He also included a Fox Sports poll that said grade the pick. Eagles select Jalen Hurts in the second round pick 53.

It was 47% voted in F.

So any draft instant reaction from the draft means nothing.

So just tell yourself that you have high up.

Like the Bears draft, I basically was like, yeah, they got a couple guys who should be starters,

and they have a lot of upside guys,

and they have guys that should fit Eberflus' system.

And that's all cliches, and that's cliches for a reason. Because I have no fucking idea how it will go.
The draft grades are so funny because they're just basically the guys that are in charge of their website's draft situation. Right.
Grading teams on how smart they think they are themselves. So it's like if you draft according to what I put on my big board, you going to get a high grade right and the people that are making these mock drafts are not nfl gms for a reason because they're not that good at it and so they're giving out awards based on how stupidly they would perform at the draft so it's a big circle jerk everyone's they're just jacking themselves off yeah i do that being said i do have a baby gronk alert oh i think that we I think I've got my guy that I'm going to be calling the next baby Gronk.
And it is another Georgia guy. It's Darnell Washington.
I think that dude, he got drafted by the Steelers. I think in three years, we're going to be like, wow, we were all huge morons for not taking that guy higher.
Because I know he's hurt. Yeah, I know he's been banged up.
And there was another great tight end that they had at Georgia that got caught on a shitload of touchdowns, and he's probably going to go in the first round next year. But Darnell Washington is an absolute freak.
He's 6'7", I think, and like 265. And every time I saw him play in college, I was like, this dude should be in the NFL when he was like 14 years old.
This guy's a freak. Yeah, he's a monster.
It really is just his knees. But like Gronk.
Gronk had the back injury, and that's why he slipped. I agree.
I mean, he's going to be the – and his blocking is insane. So even if he's not a great – like he's not catching touchdowns and stuff, you could be right just by the fact that it's – I love an offense that has a tight end like that where it's like, yeah, we just have an extra lineman out there at all times.
Yeah. He's sick.
Also in other Georgia news, Stetson Bennett got drafted by the Rams. Fourth round.
So congrats to Stetson Bennett. I believe his former teammate, Matt Stafford, is the current quarterback on the Rams.
Yes. Yes.
He actually, they, I think, shared a room freshman together yeah um the other the other funny thing that happened right before the second round my guy jim ursay owner of the colts i still have to buy colt season tickets i forgot about that when the the commanders officially sell um my guy jim ursay tweeted out just basically what if we took will levis with our pick in the second round after they had drafted Anthony Richardson you have to imagine that Richardson was probably not that not that psyched but listen Ursa is going to go gremlin mode you have to understand the sooner you understand that the better if you're Anthony Richardson you're in a very unique situation with a unique owner and the weird thing about it was I thought to myself I would probably do that I would probably take a quarterback quarterback with every pick until I found one that worked. Every year, just get a new quarterback because if you have a decent quarterback in the NFL, you're going to be good.
And then you can fill in the rest of the holes later. And a silver lining to Will Levis might be good that he got drafted the second round.
We mentioned that you're going to be a free agent one year sooner. And he got drafted to a team with a better situation.
I think the Titans, they looked like shit towards the end of the year. They've lost some of their playmakers.
They don't have a lot of help on the outside. But they've got Derrick Henry.
You're going to be asked to run a shitload of play action. Ryan Tannehill looked good in that system.
If Will Levis just kind of fits into that mold and develops, he can develop a little bit slower than you would expect some other guys to. But Will Levis, since he's a second-round pick, he won't be expected to start necessarily in his first year unless Ryan Tannehill gets injured.
That's never happened. But it's a better situation, plus you have no state income tax in Tennessee.
So congrats to Will Levis. You made a lot of money.
Yeah, and I think the Titans drafted a ton of offense this year. So, yeah, they drafted – they actually drafted only offense.
So there you go. Running back, tight end, two tackles, wide receiver.
So they're trying to rebuild that side of the ball. So, yeah, I mean, it sucked for him.
It sucked that he was told to come to the draft and that he was going to be a high pick, and it sucked to watch that on Thursday night for him. But at the end of the day, if he's good and he can prove that he's good, he will have the last laugh, and that's all that matters.
Like, it's coming up to him. Ursae also said that he would have taken him at four, the Colts would have taken him at four, if Anthony Richardson was off board damn that that actually is mean to say to Will Evans because he's like damn how much money or say also did he not say should we do it like a Montana Young situation just just ignoring the fact that Montana was a hall of famer and it won many Super Bowls before Steve Young showed up.
Yeah, that doesn't matter.

Big Cat, all he's saying is just you just have to take Jim Irsay based on his vibes at the time. And his vibe was in the right place.

There was, I actually have a hypothetical for you.

It's kind of like a list, a ranking.

Because Bryce Young, obviously taken first by the Panthers.

The Panthers tweeted out on Friday, we've got our guy Bryce Young essentially. there's a picture of him and it said that he is one of them ones.
And that's a new term. That's a new term.
And I thought that I had to update my big board in my power rankings on which one of these terms is the best. So right now I've got him, number one.
I've got top two and not two, number two. I've got them ones number three goaded four like that five one of one six different seven and then that dude is eight I think different's too low so you think different should be a little higher so maybe we can flip one of one and different yeah built different too I think it's got to be a little bit higher especially because it's used a lot more which makes it funnier because not everyone can be built different although i guess everyone is built different technically like dna wise we're all snowflakes yeah yeah also one of them ones could be taken literally there were 31 ones this year yeah that's first round picks yeah so he is a lot of people who aren't wearing number one.
He's literally one of them ones. One of them ones.
One of them ones. Yeah.
Last two I wanted to just share from old takes photos. I forgot these two.
Just Browns edition from Brendan Bowers. Don't know where you guys would be in 20 years, but I'll be in Canton for Trent Richardson's Hall of Fame speech.
That one was great. And then Hugh Jackson on QB Cody Kessler in 2016 you have to just trust me on this one isn't that the meme like dude source dude trust me yeah just trust me on this one so yeah the draft is fun we love the draft uh there will be teams that we look back and we're like holy shit they got all these guys hopefully it's your team I'll You listening right now, it's your team.
It's specifically your team, except for the Packers. It's not your team.
Shout out Sean Clifford, who had a bunch of tweets being like, go Bears, which I love that. And he also had the worst setup of anyone ever.
They were projecting the draft on a yellow painted wall somewhere in State College for Sean Clifford's draft party. uh he's on the packers now so i hate that's tough yeah has there ever been a projection screen that actually delivers on what it promises to because i haven't seen it it's yeah it's it's basically if you have like a home movie theater right like you have to have like the perfect lightings and stuff but i don't trust it i that's one technology that i never will trust.
It's never going to work. 3D technology in sports will never work.

But definitely the projection screen.

That is, every time I see one of those, I'm just like, give me a TV that's a quarter of that size in high definition.

I'll watch that every time.

That I can turn up the brightness when I'm watching Game of Thrones.

Like, give me that.

Yes.

That's all I need.

Okay.

One more nugget.

Yeah.

Wild meter. Joey Porter Jr.
First pick. yeah joey porter on on the steelers we we called that i think on thursday's show yeah like they they had to do it that was always he was always going to be steeler if he was going to get drafted to another team then the clock would just start on when he would sign with the steelers as a free agent yep yep he had to do it um oh and also uh i love whenever a wide receiver qb combo gets drafted the same team so shout out the chargers because they got max duggan and quinton johnson so that's kind of cool because you just words it's the same way it's the same way you do it when you when you're drafting your fantasy team you're like i'm gonna draft the qb and the wide receiver from the same team that way if they score i get double the points And just completely eliminating from your mind that when you get to the playoffs

and they get shut out in like a snow game, you lose.

But that doesn't matter.

It's fun.

Yeah.

It worked for the Colts and they got Andrew Luck and Kobe Fleener.

Yeah.

They're roommates.

They know each other better than they know themselves.

Yeah.

They're boys.

Okay.

Okay.

Hank, who's back of the week? You, if you have any clutch gene just gonna remind you again my who's back of the week uh is getting duped fake videos although i i don't know this is confirmed duped but travis kelsey was at a concert billy got duped billy got duped a lot of people did hard he was at a concert. He was holding what appeared to be the Lombardi trophy.
I think anyone with a brain would have noticed it was fake, but he chugged a beer off it and then spiked it as hard as he could. And some people thought it was the real Lombardi trophy instead of disrespectful.
I was shaking. If it was real, it would have been even, you know, everyone was comparing.
He wants to be Gronk. Gronk was funny when he tried to, you know, bunt a baseball off it, but that was kind of incidental contact.
He wasn't outwardly spiking the trophy, but it was pretty obviously fake. Very fake.
And Billy said, yeah, got to be honest. This is disrespectful to the game.
We also had the double, the combo of. There was a lot of people that got.
With the Mensa meeting, Will Compton and Billy football being like, this is fucked up. up.
No, no, no, no. As soon as that happened, I was like, okay.
The thing is, it was probably his personal trophy that he was given that's still like a real Lombardi. Every player gets a replica.
What do you mean probably? That to me sounds like it wasn't. Every player gets a replica? Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Really? I don't think that's true. Look, I was reading up on it on it it was definitely a team issued like like the teams usually give out a lombardi to each player on the team okay i don't think that's there's no i think i think the team gets a replica that they get to keep no the team gets the actual one right but this wasn't the actual making i don't think we know i don't think weardi trophy.
No, we know that was not the Lombardi trophy. But do we know if it was a team-issued trophy replica? What does that mean? No, no, like they give out 60 replica Lombardis of the one that they won.
They do? That's what I saw from the thing. I'm pretty sure.
I could be wrong. I saw it from the thing.
I saw it. I was doing some research, some reply guy, reply guy research.
I'm pretty sure. They give the team the replica trophy, and each team gets to keep a replica trophy in their trophy case.
And then there's one. Max, say what you find.
It says, no, players do not all receive their own Lombardi. However, they are given a mini replica of the trophy.
Yeah, so. But I think that's what he was chugging it off of.
Well, Edelman didn't pick up. But.
Still, if it's like, imagine, like, I don't know. Just was like, growing up.
That looked like an exact size trophy. I think it's bigger.
The one that Clark Hunt, the only reason I kind of, in my head, remember this was Saturday night. In my head, we had just seen Clark Hunt come out on stage.
It was 5.37 p.m. that you tweeted.
It was Saturday after 5. Okay, so Clark Hunt dropped off the third trophy that they had in this whole ceremony.
And in my head, I thought it was at the draft, and Travis Kelsey had the trophy that Clark Hunt had just brought out. So, in my defense.
But still, I don't know. You grow up wanting to win a Lombardi trophy.
That was aggressive towards the trophy. Also, Gronk's Gronk.
He runs hard. Travis Kelsey kind of avoids, yards after the catch.
Jules, you're on part of my take right now. We got a question for you.
All right, let's hear it. Does every player get a replica Lombardi trophy issued by the team when you win the Super Bowl? Have to buy it.
Okay, you have to buy it. But you can buy it? You can buy an actual...
Is it full size? ...of the Tiffany's trophy. Okay, because you saw the Travis Kelsey spiking it.
Billy, he didn't sleep after he saw this video. He said football's basically ruined forever.
So we were explaining to him that wasn't the real trophy. But it could be a replica that he bought? It could be a replica that he bought, and then also, does Billy know that it's a new trophy every year? It's not like the Stanley Cup or anything? Yeah, yeah.
Do you use it? He says he knows that. I know there's 56.
Yeah, he knows there's 56. Regardless, they'll just replace it.
Have you bought any of the replicas? haven't i didn't buy a replica trophy i got

i had the ring that was plenty of nothing yeah do you guys buy the replicas some guys i i know some people that have bought it okay okay all right well that helped a lot patrick chung may have bought one okay i'm not ninkovich ninkovich is a guy that probably bought one too yeah can you still buy one

I don't know

so like right when they do like the ring

stuff Ninkovich is a guy that probably bought one too. Yeah.
Can you still buy one? I don't know. So, like, right when they do, like, the ring sizing, so right after you win the Super Bowl, you go back, you clear out the lockers, and then all the football operations people are, like, chasing every guy before they leave to get ring size.

And then you get ring size. And then there's also a catalog of everything that you can buy along with that.

Like I bought my mom a pendant.

Got it.

Or you go buy your dad something, like a pen.

There's a bunch of stuff that you can buy.

And the trophy's on there as well.

Okay.

All right.

That clears it up.

Thank you.

So do you think football can still exist after uh travis kelsey did that yeah but didn't didn't gronk already do that yeah gronk gronk gronk dented one that was an accident oh but that was an accident that was cool all right well thank you jules we miss you all right boys all right see ya he threw the pitch that dented. Yeah, that's true.
Yeah. But so are you okay with knowing that this wasn't the real Lombardi? No, I think it's – I think Will Compton relates because as someone that never – Because you guys don't have brains.
No, no, no. Hey, hey, hey.
So because like – I don't know. I'm not nowhere close to professional football, but like – Will just saw your tweet and was like, oh, I can get numbers by jacking this tweet.

That's exactly what happened.

Wait, wait.

He jacked my tweet.

When did he tweet?

He tweeted after you.

He jacked my tweet?

The Chiefs are cursed.

Jesus.

He really is jacking all this stuff.

Yeah.

But yeah, I think it was not a real part.

All right, here's a second question for you then, Billy. Brian Dable.
Yes. Vaping or not? There's a video from the war room of what appears, people online are saying Brian Dable hitting like a weed pen, what it looked like, but he was like eating a piece of beef jerky.
So I was actually knowing how Brian Dable is, and he's a New Jersey resident. If you noticed in New Jersey bodegas recently, they got horny vapes.
Do you think Brian Dable's going to bodegas? I have not noticed that. You think so? I think he probably lives in a suburb and is not going to bodegas.
I think he's going to Hoboken once in a while. Anyway, you go into these bodegas, they're trying to get try Kratom they're like yo check out these new vapes for getting horny and there's a guys and girls one yeah so he's probably getting horny during the draft and that's a very easy explainable thing I thought it was I think again I I watched both the videos no it was he was eating something yeah I that it's someone sees it online like, oh, look at Brian Dable hitting a weed pen.

But I'm okay with that one.

It's funny to imagine him hitting a weed pen in the draft room,

but there's a 0.0% chance he was.

McDaniels was 100% stoned.

I'm okay with that one.

Some guys smoke weed and it helps them focus.

I don't understand those people.

I don't think NFL coaches are those people.

Well, Mike McDaniels thinks it's a new breed.

Yeah.

Yeah, but you got to be careful, Billy.

Just a little bit of coaching.

When you say 100%, that means 100%.

Thank you. The coaches are those people.
Well, Mike McDaniels thinks it's a new breed. Yeah.
Yeah, but you got to be careful, Billy. Just a little bit of coaching.
When you say 100%, that means 100%. Listen.
Come on. Billy's just shooting tweets off.
We won't even talk about his Katrina tweet. Okay, for the amount of 9-11 jokes there are, New Orleans can deal with one Will Levis Levy tweet.
Like, come on. What was the tweet?

Something about when you can't stop the rush,

you can't have a Levy in New Orleans.

He was, yeah.

I mean, I had no problem with it.

But there were some people who had problems with it. If PFT did it, it would have done numbers.

Oh, here we go.

I would never have done that joke.

Not because of the distastefulness,

because it didn't even work with Levis and Levis. It's close enough, though.
He had to edit it, too? This is what Billy does. This is what Billy does.
When Billy gets in hot water about anything, he's like, no, Will Compton did it. No, PFT would have done it.
If he had done it, if this would have happened, if things would have happened completely differently, then people would have reacted completely differently. No, I'm using the new Twitter edit feature.
So for people who don't get the joke, they'll probably go look at the edited tweet and be like, oh, that's what it means. Listen, Billy, I had your back that I think that there is selective outrage online that you just got to ignore.
I mean, I got outraged by the freaking trophy. Gain slammed.
Well, that was just stupid. I mean, I responded.
I was like, I'm shaking. I saw it and I was shaking.
I just, I got outraged by the freaking trophy against Lance. Well, that was just stupid.

I mean, I responded.

I was like, I'm shaking.

I saw it and I was shaking.

I just I really it kind of pissed me off because like I was.

Yeah, at least you didn't post it on any main social accounts, right?

Who?

We didn't post it on anything, right?

No, we did.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, he's doing numbers. The real story is Travis Kelsey is kind of becoming a villain, which is good because Mahomes is incapable of being a villain.
I still love Mahomes. He wins Super Bowls.
Travis Kelsey will take that for him. I have one other one.
Someone else might have this, so if you do, feel free to speak up. But Feel Good Stories was my other one.
Drew Maggie, Pirates player. Yes.
33 years old, in the minors for like 10 or 13 years or something, something crazy, finally got called up, got a single and a double. First hit was an RBI, got another at-bat in the ninth, hit a double.
And then I was reading an article that said that's probably going to be the only game he plays. Dude, he's batting .500.
him up. That's crazy.
That also feel-good story, the Chiefs fan who got to present a pick. What's his name? James Drows.
James Drows, yeah. That was awesome.
He's the what-happened kid. Yes, that was awesome, awesome moment.
Those are the sports moments. You're like, this is why I fucking watch sports and go go through all this pain uh because of moments like this this is cool that was meme saying something

that i have no idea what the what happened i know who he's talking about yeah yeah there we go score one for me i need to i need to come back after the jay-z boston bruins what happened You just got me in real life

Damn

Alright PFT you're who's back

My who's back is

Max did it so well. Max, use that confidence for the series.
Yeah, no, the Sixers are going to win. I think Tobias Harris goes off for 30 tomorrow.
Okay, there we go. Put it in the sportsbook.
76ers. Okay, PFT.
My who's Back is the NFL schedule because they did the release of the NFL schedule release today where Schefter said, hey, it's going to come out I think next Thursday. But I always love that day where we get officially lead.
The word is leaked to Adam Schefter who then leaks when the initial leak of the schedule is going to happen. So set your clocks.
You're all going to go 11 and 5. Maybe.
No, wait. Sorry.
11 and 6 or 10 and 7 next year. Or if you're Stu Finder.
Those are the kind of two things that you look at. If you're Stu Finder, everyone's going to go.
What do you have? Like 10 and 7? Everyone going 10 and 7? Yeah. It could happen.
You never know. So i i also when i see this come out i i try to

predict what the first game of the season is going to be when you look at which teams play which divisions next year i think i'm going to put my pin in this one i think it's going to be the eagles and the jets oh okay to start the season either that or chiefs cowboys it's always the winner yeah it's usually the winner

okay so

play the Eagles next year

yeah it's usually the winner. Okay, so in that case...
I'm pretty sure the Chiefs play the Eagles next year. Yeah, so there could be a rematch.
I think it's going to be Chiefs-Cowboys then. It's May 11th.
May 11th, I think, is the official date that they set. So get ready.
I can't wait. My other who's back is the XFL because we've got our championship set up.
D.C. Defenders, Kings of the North, going to the XFL championship game that we've been just clamoring for.
So it's going to be the D.C. Defenders against the Arlington Renegades.
I think that's what they are. I don't think they're Dallas anymore.
So that's going to be a big matchup. These two teams don't like each other very much.
Throw the record books out. My D.C.
defenders in the national championship game for the XFL. Pretty pumped about that.
I'm looking at it right now. Oh, yeah, excited for you, PFT.
XFL. That was the XFL in a minute.
I'm looking right now. The Chiefs actually have a loaded schedule to choose from.
It could be Chiefs-Bills or Chiefs-Bengals. So they play the Eagles, the Bengals, and the Bills at home.
So could be any of those three games. So if it has to be – if it's not going to be the Chiefs, is there any chance it could be Bills-Bengals, the prayers for tomorrow game? I think it has to be the Chiefs.
They don't play the Cowboys, by the way. The Chiefs do not play the cowboys i thought they did i thought they do not they're playing the nfc north and my mistake and the eagles because it's 17 games so that's the only other nfc team they're playing so we'll see i think it's i think it's gonna be probably bills right i would guess bills or eagles would Yeah, yeah.
Because the Eagles have all the hype now from the offseason.

Yeah, that's true.

Hopefully the field is in good shape so Max can't cry about it again.

Well, obviously they wouldn't be playing in Phoenix.

No, but they wouldn't be playing in Kansas City,

and the Sodfather might come back just to fuck over the Eagles one more time.

Maybe.

Now you're thinking about it, right? Now you're thinking about it. I'm just thinking about tomorrow night.
Okay. Tonight.
Tonight. All right, my who's back.
It was also going to be Billy's video with the Travis Kelsey. So I'll just say my who's back is me being old because I missed the Jay-Z lyrics.
So, yeah, I'm probably going to get a shitload of tweets about that. That's fine.
I am an old guy. 38.
PFT, have you had the... I didn't recognize it was a Jay-Z lyric right away.
I just could tell from the way he wrote it that he wasn't original enough to think of that himself. I knew it was a lyric.
I like Jay-Z. I don't know his lyrics by heart.
PFT, though, I want to say something scary. I just throw it out there um we're both like about to be 38 and a half i feel like we're now have to start looking at what's coming up yeah what 40 40 yeah we're rounding the corner like i didn't think i'd start thinking about it till i turned 39 but i started thinking about about it this past weekend, and I was like, fuck, man.
Fuck. You know what happens when you're 40? Yeah, you get your...
You get the butt appointment. But I think they have...
I think that my thought all along, I've been thinking about this since I was like 20 years old, that technology will get to a point where we don't have to do that. I'm pretty sure they can do that exam now with like a laser.
a laser okay well pft if they can't come up with something maybe we just do the exam at the same time with the same doctor with each other then it won't be sus yeah if we hold hands while we do it yeah if you have a buddy we'll do it for pm tv yeah we'll do it yeah we'll put it on youtube we might even make a trip out of it like guys trip it's perfect we're gonna do it we'll do it the same maybe we won't do it in the same room we'll do it on YouTube. We might even make a trip out of it, like guys' trip.
It's perfect. We're going to do it.
We'll do it the same. Maybe we won't do it in the same room.
We'll do it the same day. That's a promise to the listeners.
Our big 40 bash. Okay, Billy.
My who's back is classical music. Oh.
Might not sound like the most sexy thing, but apparently at the L.A. Philharmonic, a woman had an orgasm in the middle of Chukowski's Fifth Symphony.
Okay. Yeah, but it's on, like, apparently all these, like, orchestra nerds started tweeting about it, like, and they have it on.
It's funny. Yeah, they have it on Audiophile.
It's actually really funny. I don't know how that happened scientifically.
Just re-describe the sound.

It was a full body. Yeah, do it.
Show us.

Yeah, I can play it. No, no, no.

Do a remix. Do a remix.
No, do a Billy

football remix. I can't.

Yeah, there you go.

Oh, by the way,

talking tennis. It's like the opposite of whatever the brown noise is.
Oh, that's awesome. Yeah.
I don't know how that happens. Apparently it was very moving.
Yeah. It's the G string vibration.
Hitting that high note. Oh, I forgot one other thing for my who's back.
The, the games in Mexico this weekend fucking ruled. I went for a legacy bet today.
I don't know if you saw it, PFT, but the Giants and Padres played in Mexico City, which is 2,000 feet higher than Denver. And on Saturday, it was like a softball game.
There were 11 home runs. It was 16 to 11 was the final score.
The over-under was 20 and a half today. I was like, let's do it.
They didn't even

come close. But they should

play. Every team should have to play

like a series in Mexico City

because it was awesome. And then we

bet the Mexicover

every single one of those.

I like the sombreros that they brought out.

Yep. The Padres

uniforms were sick. So sick.
I love those.

Like the neon colors. Yeah, the city connects.
Mexico City, sneaky high. Yes, very high.
All right, Jake, finish us off. My Who's Back is Dodgeball.
Oh. They're making a sequel with Vince Vaughn.
Oh. So.
Okay. It's a great movie that everyone who listens to this has seen, and it's exciting.
Yeah. Caught my eye.
It's tough, though. It's like Anchorman 2.
Disappointment. Yeah.
2 disappointment yeah yeah no it could flop but like the excitement if it happened we're all gonna watch it yeah and if you don't man 2 is a big letdown just listen to trey wingo's podcast in 10 years yeah wayne's world 2 was the original letdown of those type of movies because they're just so good yeah but i think having the original that the original cast is huge. That is a perfect movie.
Yeah. Yeah, it is.
Yeah. All right, Jake, I'll get into it.
I'll go watch it with you. We'll watch it, yeah.
Yeah. Maybe we'll do in the new office.
We'll do a little dodgeball. Make a dodgeball week.
Yeah. Whoever's making this movie, do a fucking ad deal with us.
Yeah. That is perfect.
We will play dodgeball. 20th Century Studios.
That would actually be awesome if we played dodgeball, but, like, the game was live for the entire week. So you could just peg people in the fucking face all week long.
Also, it's interesting, because in the movie, headshots are legal. Yeah.
No, headshots should always be legal. If you're playing with...
As long as you're not playing with, like, hard balls, like, you should absolutely have headshots being legal. Especially if people are ducking and stuff, and they play cheap, and they, like, put their head into it.
That always sucks. Also, the balls aren't fucking soccer balls.
They're soft. No.
Were you guys playing in the rubber ball era or the foam ball era? Latex. We didn't give a fuck about latex allergies.
Dude, I hate it. Don't play.
That and kickball when they're, like, no headhunting. No.
Fuck yes, there's headhunting. That's the whole point.
The balls are bouncy balls. Yeah.
Go right for that. I got into my first fight on the kickball field because I threw out a guy and he ducked, and then he came over to me and pushed me, and then I got into a fight in fourth grade.
Nice. And I had to be broken up in school suspension.
But it was his fault. You can't duck a headshot.
You can't duck a body shot and turn it into a headshot and then expect vengeance for it. It doesn't look like that.
That's like targeting when they slow it down. It's like, well, the guy had nowhere to nowhere to go i was going full speed out there it's really easy to see with the benefit of instant replay yeah exactly um okay should we get to busting with the boys in studio uh pft you got a couple ads and then we will get to busting the boys in studio yeah before we get to busting with the boys they're brought to you by our great friends at chevy you know we're truck guys through and through and chevy silverado has been a partner with unstoppable grit and determination it's been our most valuable truck our mvt and now the first ever all-electric silverado joins the franchise we got the chance to see this thing and experience it and it is a game changer it's available in 400 mile range and gm estimated on a full charge over 10 feet of length in the bed.

Okay, we now welcome on very special guests, good friends of ours, colleagues. It is Will Compton and Taylor Luan, Bustin' with the Boys in studio.
Hello, boys. What are you going to do? You going to clap? Yeah.
Yeah, clap it up. Clap it up for yourself.
Clap it it up for yourself uh okay so we're taping this hours before the nfl draft hours uh we're gonna run this on monday let's start though taylor i want to hear well will as well your draft memories uh you got picked what was 11th the 11th 11th overall uh we did you go to the draft yes i was in uh radio city okay so talk us through that night because we were talking to carson palmer the other day and he actually it was like 20 years ago so he signed his contract even before he got drafted so he already there was no like anticipation what's going to happen were you going through the whole gambit of i have no idea what's going to happen like what did your agent tell you? When can you go? How late can you go? All that stuff. They told me the earliest I could go is two because the Rams had two picks.
They had number two pick and the 13th pick, and they ended up taking Greg Robinson, who's now in prison. Oh, win for Taylor.
Win for so dub for me. But to go back to my draft night, I'd have to go back to the Monday before that Thursday night draft.
That Monday, the Atlanta Falcons flew to my house in Arizona where I was staying. And they said, hey, if you're there at 6, have your bags packed, be ready.
And I'm thinking to myself, I will be there at 6. Now, who was this? Who came to your house? Dan Quinn? No, it wasn't Dan Quinn.
It was one of the upper dudes that kind of was like the right hand man of the right hand man okay but they sent a flight the guy literally they had a jet that came down to my house and came and came and saw me so i thought this is locked and sealed and then during the draft week i was talking to jake matthews and i was like where do you want to go and he's kind of like putzing around because he doesn't want to tell me and eventually he tells me i want to go to the falcons i was like yo me too so six comes around and uh the phone starts ringing and it's two tables down and it's jake matthews and i was fucking i was hot i was hot for that and another reason that happened on the red carpet but for the sake of time what happened on the red carpet it was mother's day we it was mother's day weekend and so they wanted everybody with their mothers to walk down the red carpet so my mom um gets all dressed up all the other moms are wearing their sunday dress my mom is wearing a a shirt with cleavage all of the cleavage showing and so i'm wearing i might have had a tweet yeah maybe okay but um my we do the red carpet i'm feeling myself i'm in a nice tan suit i got the black color on there i'm literally this is the best i've ever felt my entire life as far as looks go

and i get to the green room i pull open the bird and i i just it's just constant tweets of hey i

want your mom to sit on my face she looks good i'm looking at right now she looks good she knew

what she was doing she knew exactly what she was she was single at the time too i think newly single

so she was she was ready to find a suitor but so i had to deal with that so that's a little bit of

adversity six came along big time adversity i ended up leaving got the cross in there too

Thank you. between the two chiefs there yeah gave birth to you like yeah it's her night yes and so uh i ended up getting pick 11 and i was really upset at the time because i thought there's no way i'm gonna fucking play dude michael ruse was there michael orr was there they just signed michael ordered a four-year deal so i didn't really know what to think and then obviously things ended up working out yeah so it's all good you think that maybe if you had a more heartwarming story of high school like maybe if you're if your mom wasn't around and then some family picked you up and kind of nursed you and trained you how to play football, you would have had all the buzz.
You would have gotten drafted instead of Michael Orr? Wait, PFT. What? That kind of did happen.
That kind of did happen. He did actually live with an adopted family in high school.
When you started that, I was like, I know he's doing Michael Orr. I don't...
I know. I don't think he's doing my core.
All right, so that's my bad. Hand off.
It's all good. That's just journalism.
You should have just done your homework. Since he's wearing the shades, I couldn't tell.
No, I knew. I knew right away.
I knew when he didn't know that you got adopted. But follow up, Taylor.
Why didn't Disney make a movie out of you? That's a good question. That is a good question.
White. There's enough movies with white.
I was thinking it. Will just said it.
That's Will Compton there who said that. Will Compton said that.
Will Compton said that. Will Compton.
We're like, Will Belair. Billy, you saw Billy Washington said, like, absolutely.
As soon as he answered the question. Yes.
But, I mean, so after you get drafted, do you just go straight to a party? Yeah, I went to my hotel room. A handful of people there a lot of alcohol consumed what else a lot of extracurriculars consumed and the next day i was on a southwest flight that early oh that's funny and then i was like c35 on a southwest flight from like lauguardia to bna they didn't put you on the no damn titans weren't rocking with those kinds of funds just yeah amy adams didn't really take over the franchise just yet it was a a dead franchise at the time to say the least yeah can i just say something though uh i'm looking at the draft order here the falcons fucked up they should have taken you thank you you can always say that i'm looking at who was drafted around you i'm going through the top 10 clowny i would that's like a toss up to me you were clowny right yeah uh greg robinson i take you over him As you mentioned He's in prison Blake Bortles That was the correct pick Steel Jaguars Steel Absolutely fleeced They fleeced the entire draft Blake has one of the best Interviews of all time With that woman He's like what would you be doing If you weren't Yeah yeah Sophie Julia Sophie yeah Her Yeah And him saying He would like Wakes up in the morning Takes a piss Or he'd be doing construction And smoking cigarettes.
And he's 100% serious. He's a legend.
Dude, he retired on our show like six months ago because he had just forgotten to tell everyone that he retired. I remember seeing him.
Like we had him on, and we were just like, what are you up to? He's like, yeah, so I guess technically I did retire, and he just didn't tell anyone. Really? Yeah.
I think that's the move. I think that's what a lot of people are doing is kind of just sitting there, and they're going to be like 15 years down the down the road and be like, I'm done.
Yeah, and he said he's like, yeah, a bunch of teams reached out during training camp and he told his agent, like, no, I think I'm retired. He just retired.
Just never signed the papers. No, he signed the papers.
He just didn't tell anyone. That's so funny.
That's so funny. It's perfect.
You had an overall pretty good draft night. I'd say going first round, you're happy.
Your mom gets some camera time. That's awesome.
Will, what was your draft night like? I have to assume pretty glamorous, had some folks over. Yeah, it went about like anybody else sitting at home watching the draft.
You see about 300 people get picked, and then you wonder if the phone rings. But mine's like a casual person watching the draft.
You know, nothing's probably going to happen. You're hopeful.
Yeah, wait. You're hopeful in day three.
Did you think? At the time I was going into it on NFL Draft Scout, I believe I was a fifth-round pick to PFA, preferred free agent. Okay.
So you're hopeful that you're going to get picked up in the fifth, sixth round. Once it gets to the seventh, there's a consensus out there that you'd rather be undrafted than go seventh round because seventh round is essentially an undrafted cat and you don't get to pick your destination.
And mine – I want to say mine was out of Chicago, Washington, and Tampa. But my agent just calls me and says, you're going to be a Washington Redskin.
Like there wasn't – I didn't really feel like I had the – I got the pick. He's like, hey, these are the teams that are interested.
I was like, I mean, those would be sick. I'm kind of thinking about playing with Levante.
Like, man, if I was, like, in the same locker room as Levante, that would be sick. Right, right.
And then he calls, and he's like, oh, you're going to be a Washington Redskin. I was like, fuck, where is Washington? Oh, it's in D.C., not the state of Washington.
It's the capital of the entire country. Marshawn Lynch.
Marshawn Lynch thought he was going to New York City when he went to Buffalo. All right, so honest question, Will, because obviously you didn't get drafted, but was there a moment that you thought, like, all right, this is me.

Like, it's coming up right now.

Yeah. Like, six rounds, six rounds.

Because that has to suck.

Did you have a party?

You didn't have a party, right?

Well, like, and where I'm from, you're always having, like,

our family's always having, like, a barbecue, a get-together.

Right.

So there was people over.

There was people over.

We can call it a party.

There was a number of people there.

Multiple people were sitting, grilling.

My old man's grilling.

We're going to be right back. a get-together right so there's there was people over there was people over you we can call it a party there was a number of people there multiple people were sitting grilling my old man's grilling we're kind of watching in one of my boys basements and they're monarchs yeah yeah yeah he is a legend he's probably rocking i think he's like a new balance or velcro sometimes he hits the velcro shoes yeah um but yeah there were a few times literally day one the chargers called me what That's a prank? That's a prank.
They called me and they're like, Hey, you know, I don't fucking remember what they said. I was just like, I couldn't believe that I was getting some phone call on day one.
I was like, hang on now. That's a different area.
Hey, what's up? It's Will. You got the, you got the right number.
And they, they talked about like liking me. I don't think for the high rounds.
I think teams they start doing their recruiting early right but uh they uh like the first pick in the second round was charges they ended up getting me and titeo okay so then that one kind of goes off and then there's you know you see like uh you start seeing guys that you feel like you're in the crowd with them yeah yeah and guys that you think you're better than go in like the seventh round you're like fuck me man like maybe i'm not yeah who i think i am but uh so yeah there was definitely bitterness when you're when the draft ends and you're like well fuck i guess imposter syndrome is a real thing in the nfl yeah yeah you really believe that didn't uh well we were talking about this on the bus the other day is like when you're getting drafted if you're in those later rounds like that seventh round you'd almost rather be a free agent because you can kind of pick best case, like best situation for yourself. So, Will, did you, was there any moment when you're sitting there with everyone, was there any person in your like draft party, with quotation marks, that was like kept on like being like, are you going to get it? Are you going to get it? Because I always think like those moments are just like, get out of here.
Like your second cousin, get the fuck out of here. Yeah, I think my uncle, my Uncle Chris, he would just fucking ask, hey, you know, who's that from? Who's that text from? And he's just like, yo, shut the fuck up, man.
I want to get drafted too. Trust me.
I want to see my name run down on the ticket. Very badly.
That's like the, yeah, you're like, you want it more than anything. And then when it doesn't happen, you're like, motherfucker.
You're on the phone with the Chargers. And are at the party at the cookout looking over at you like no no no this is the since day three's on Saturday like to get together like nobody was over at the house on Thursday I'm literally just watching I think I made a couple vines that day like fucking it's a good day yeah I made a couple vines like I'm watching the first round like everybody else seeing who goes like that was the draft I think Alec Ogletree was in.
You're hoping backers go in the first round. So that way you're like fucking moving up the list.
Right. So there was no party on day one or day two.
Okay, so let's rip the band-aid off. Tough question.
If the Big Ten Championship game goes different, do you think you get drafted? I don't know, man. Because that was that year.
You know what I think goes different for me on getting drafted? I think if we didn't run, because Coach Bo, we essentially ran the same call every time as even double bracket. Very much a man-oriented defense.
I think if we spot-dropped more, because I learned that I was solid at that when I got in the NFL. I feel like if I was in a system where I was spot- a little bit more versus trying to cover some of these motherfuckers one-on-one, maybe, but who knows? But if I play that game, I think I don't learn offense, defensive terminology, schematics the way I did learning under Bo Pelini.
I feel like he's a mastermind at that stuff. We've talked to Will before about the moment that he realized that coming in as an undrafted free agent, I can actually do this i i feel like i can fit in i can hold my own taylor on your side was there ever a moment speaking of like imposter syndrome where you you come in first round pick highly touted and you start to get to work and you have like a little bit of doubt like oh shit this is way harder than i thought it would be i don't know if i can do this i don't know if there if there's anything way harder than I thought it'd be, but the imposter syndrome of coming in,

I legit thought my first training camp,

I might get cut.

And I had to go talk. Which is crazy.

Which is wild,

because as a first round pick,

you'd have to do so many bad things to get cut.

Yeah, right.

And I would talk to Michael Ruse,

and I'd be like, dude, what do you think?

Do you think I'm going to make the team or what?

And he'd laugh in my face.

And then even when you are playing,

you're kind of always in this situation

where you're like,

when are people going to find out

that I'm actually not as good as people think I am?

Thank you. and he'd like laugh in my face.
And so, and then even when you are playing, you're kind of always in this situation where you're like,

when are people going to find out that I'm actually not as good as people think I am?

And so it's a constant mental battle that you're always dealing with.

There wasn't like one specific,

I guess like the time I figured out I could play

was my first start against the Jags.

Yeah.

It was one of our two wins that year.

So when all these guys get drafted and they go to the facility

and then they're starting OTAs, how quickly on the other side? You guys obviously were in locker rooms for many years. What, 11, Will? Yeah, I think we're going to, what am I? You're on year 11? 10.2.
10.2, 11. Nine for you? Yes.
So Will did actually beat you? Yes. Okay.
If we're talking technical terms? Well, so you are retired. Huh? So you're retired.
As of right now, he's beating me. Okay.
All right. Got it.
That was close. That was a close one.
We almost let one lose there. Thank God.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I appreciate you catching that.
No, no. I got you.
That was huge. Taylor's still fielding calls.
We don't know what's going to happen. Yeah, we don't know.
Okay. Tonight.
So, yeah. Tonight, you might get called.
Yeah. We're going to redraft you.
That'd be outstanding. Could you get redrafted if you were super old, didn't have a contract? How does that work? Could you get drafted if you were never drafted? Could I still get drafted? Oh, that would be sick.
That's a good fucking question. My question was, so these guys all get in the facility, they start OTAs and everything.
How quickly from the other side, when you guys were already established in the NFL, how quickly could you tell the guy we just drafted is real or the guy we just drafted that we like we fucked up i think it depends it depends on the position yeah right so tell me which positions this is offensive line offensive line defensive line linebacker you're kind of you're kind of waiting for pads to come on because you can do anything in underwear like guys are during otas these are in shorts and shirts like doing drills but as soon as pads come on you could tell almost in the. In the first three, four days, you're going to figure out who's going to be who.
That's awesome. Will looks way better outside of underwear.
Yeah, no. I would say Will.
Yeah, not wearing it. Will has always been a neck up guy.
When Will's wearing anything except for underwear, he looks way better. What we say about Will is ankles down, neck up.
Ankles down. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's funny you say that, PFT, because the year that the catch happened when we got i think it was 2014 so i think i started like five games that off season i go in for the exit for the exit meeting and uh my coach coach ko kirk olivadotti he's the linebacker coach for the packers right now but he was like you know you have what it takes to be a starter in this league. And he's like, look, at the end of the day, you're going to win this job, and I fully expect you to win this job next year in training camp.
Not in OTAs. You don't look prettier.
You don't move like everybody else. You're not the prettiest player in shorts and everything like that.
But when we get the pads on, I fully expect you to win this job next year, and you're going to have every opportunity to do it. But don't be surprised if we end up drafting somebody.
Oh, that's a good heads up. It's so fucking strong.
He should have switched it. He should have switched it where he's like, hey, we'll probably draft somebody.
And then you're going to beat this guy. Just to not go in on him just being like, oh, and we're probably still going to draft somebody.
It was more, I think I was asking. He's like, you never know.
We probably could draft somebody. But, you know, he's basically saying you have every opportunity to win, but it's not going to be in shorts.

It's not going to be during your TAs next season.

Yeah, and I always trust people more when they tell me bad news

because they're being honest with me.

They're not just telling me whatever it is I want to hear.

So when coaches are, like, very matter-of-fact,

if they say something shitty about you but also have something that says, like,

I fully expect that you're going to win this job next year,

then you know that they're being honest.

And you know that you can, like, plan accordingly.

Right.

So, like, the fact that you can figure out someone is a guy right away almost,

right, with pads, do you think that teams should maybe, like,

have some of their best players look at guys, like, in the meetings and stuff when they bring them in?

Like, did you ever get leaned on for –

Talking about, like, draft visits?

Yeah, draft.

Not all the way to Russell Wilson who said that he watched every piece of tape for every quarterback ever in, like, two hours. But it's just – it always fascinated me because there's guys – you're doing it, and you're doing it at a high level.
Do you think there's any part of the guys who are making decisions who want to be like, hey, can you just take a look at this guy? Like, let me know what you think. Did that ever happen? I don't think I was ever in that position of drafting.
Do you think that should happen is a better question. I don't think vets care unless they're the quarterback.
Hey, Peyton Manning, come in here. What do you think of this guy? There's been a handful of guys that I've known of that have had that opportunity to go sit in and be like, what do you think of this guy? I've gotten texts from coaches being like, you know this person, yes or no.
And if it's a yes, then they ask about the individual. But I've never been asked to sit and watch film with somebody okay do you think it would work or no it depends on the individual yeah a guy like ben jones the center for the titans for the last seven years that's a guy that could easily go and do that right and can like watch tape and be like yep that guy can help us he's got good ben and does this blah blah blah teachable skills yeah because i guess what it really comes down to is a lot of guys who are playing right now in the NFL will end up being scouts, front office guys.
Why not take advantage of that right now? Because maybe the player doesn't care to give their honest opinion because what if it's a position of players? That's true. Or they have a friend that plays that position.
I think it happens more with veterans and free agency. Like, hey, if a coach is like, hey, I saw you on this team with him.
What's he like in the locker room? Stuff like that. Right.
That that right that makes never like a never like a film thing that makes sense hey will what do you think of this linebacker you know i don't think he's got a step on me or anything like i'm just like a more more brain power but more brain power you know like just get as many you know i guess that would probably also hurt you because you're in the war room and you have like 70 opinions on one right probably paralysis by analysis i think being in the war room would be one of the coolest things to experience yeah i want to be in a war room i don't care which one it is just to be like i'm in the war room yeah i would talk to john robertson about that all the time like every draft i'd be like john can i just like sit in there for the first round and he just cleanly tell me no yeah but i would want to so bad i think i would i think i'd probably make a joke too early in the draft when it's still tense and then that would probably burn it for me. You would definitely like the guy they wanted with the pick before and you would be like, didn't we want him? Yeah.
Like, oh shit. Isn't that the guy we wanted? Yeah.
Didn't we want Justin Jefferson? Yeah. Fuck.
Yeah, they'd be calling the guy on the phone and Big Cat would just be like, sorry, yeah, we were going to get the guy, but he got picked before you but we're really excited about you. Yeah, well, you're fine.
Second choices work out sometimes. Or just rat out the OC, the offensive coordinator, like, hey, coach, I thought you liked that guy.
Yeah. He didn't want you, but I did.
You were just telling me you wanted him over him. Yeah.
He actually told me shit about that guy before. Did you tell me you didn't want this guy? Yeah.
That he sucked? We're going to get back to the boys in a second. But before we do, they're brought to you by GameTime.

And now here's more boys. Well, did it ever get confusing in film study or anything when somebody would talk about linebackers and they'd say, like, here's the Will, and you'd be like, wait,

is that me that they're talking about?

It's just one of them just jokes that's like,

when it's fresh or the very beginning of the year, like, oh, yeah,

hey, Will, you're going to play the mic,

but just don't listen to me when I say Will.

Yeah.

For your brain, that would be confusing.

Would it not?

Like, hey, Will, we're just going to call you.

He's a neck-up guy.

He's going to call you Comp.

Yeah, Comp.

That's a good nickname.

Patel, you end up going to Tennessee, no state income tax.

That's kind of-up guy. He's going to call you Comp.
Yeah, Comp. That's a good nickname.
Yeah. Patel, you end up going to Tennessee, no state income tax.
That's kind of nice. Yeah, it's a dub you don't realize you're getting at the time.
Me, being a general studies major, I never really thought about finances or anything like that. I just thought, oh, bags are coming my way.
Yeah. And then you start to realize that first tax season, you're like, holy shit, we had a huge win here.
Yeah. Yeah.
So you getcks and your your life changes because you're now you're extremely wealthy yeah you're a young guy uh did you have like a finance dude ready to go or were you just like just yeah i was ready to deposit i was i was ready to rip right away i got all that stuff taken care of before did you buy anything cool i bought a van's backpack it had a bunch of quail on it was like on sale for like 12.99 i remember that being my first purchase. You would dummy on East Bay.
Yeah, we're crazy. But I was like, I remember having, I was in camp.
I signed two days before camp and like it takes like three weeks or so for like everything to hit. And my bank account, my Bank of America bank account had $12.50 in it.
And I would check it after every single practice. And then one day Ken Wisenhunt takes us to the movie theater.
Like instead of practice that day, spoiler, we actually ended up practicing that afternoon. I remember going to the movie, hot dogs.
Now I'm eating crazy. And I get back on the bus to go back.
And like all of a sudden the things look like a phone number. And I was like, there was a guy next to me who like legit was like, like because I got drafted was probably going to get cut.
Like one of those tackles. He actually wore 77.
They just took it from him and gave it to me. i was like bro check this out i was just i was just hype about the situation i was so excited never seen that never even didn't know that kind of shit existed and then all of a sudden it was there it was fucking wild i bet you had a moment like not obviously first round money but like you had a moment where you signed something you're like okay this is way better than i ever expected yeah i mean it's this is gonna i guess sound dumb but but also like my first practice squad check was twelve thousand five hundred dollars that's pretty sick and i was like yo this is not a bad life that's one fan's backpack it's a lot of fans like my first big purchase i was driving a uh it was always funny the boys always churched me for it but I would drive this little Hyundai Sonata and then like Trent Williams always had like the fucking he had that shit he had just a fleet of different vehicles he'd drive in that's like he uses like cars like shoes like everyday it's a different car yeah yeah yeah that was rule that was cool yeah god that's so cool that would be so awesome didn't you get body bags for like the suits you were wearing cause you went to like A.
Bank, got to buy one. At the end of my P-Squad year, I got active for one game, the final game.

So I got to travel.

And so your boy Wayne coughed something.

Was it Joseph A. Banks?

Joseph A. Banks.

Yeah.

Your boy Wayne coughed something at Joseph A. Banks.

A little two for one.

If you haven't gotten to Joseph A. Banks, when you get the first Joseph A.
Banks, you get two suits for $500? Yeah. That's sick.
And a tie? Yeah. And another rookie.
I went with another rookie. We went shop because we were both active for that game.
We're like, let's go buy something. We went to Joseph A.
Bank. And right when we walked on the flight, man, like, look at these two boys.
They look like two mannequins right out of the door. You guys just say, hey, we want that one to put it on us? That is the problem with Joseph A.
Bank is you buy it, and then everyone who's got a really, really nice custom suit, they know. They know you're wearing Joseph A.
Bank. That's a Joseph A.
Bank joint. I was like, damn, is it really like that? I thought I was looking nice.
Yeah. Did they let you keep your jersey after that game, the first game that you were active? It's actually here, yes.
Oh. It is here this office yeah it's not in this office but in my uh in my bag out there for you to for the for the washington pick oh yeah number 53 that was my number 53 was my first game worn jersey because i've heard they they charge you for it sometimes if you give it away they do i found the 53 one two years ago this uh uh press a preston he's this guy who collects jerseys, big Tennessee Titans fan, but he found mine on that.
There's like some black market out there where you can just buy all these different game jerseys. And he had mine, 53, and he's like, hey, I got this.
Would you want it? Yeah. And I was like, bro, that'd be awesome.
He's like, can I get one of your Titans jerseys? I was like, yeah, I can do that. I would love to just have my jersey, but yeah, I'll trade you.
But that's how I ended up getting it. But it is here.
Can you power rank the jerseys that you look the sweetest in? Like when you look at yourself before the game, do a little thirst trap. Yeah.
What does Will Compton look like? It's got to be Raiders. Raiders is number one for sure.
Raiders 51. Raiders 57.
Then I think it's – Raiders practice squad. I think it's Titans All-Navy.
Yeah. Like Titans Navy.
And I would say 51 and 53. Yeah, I'd say Washington, the Redskins were last.
I always kind of hated our uniforms. The mustard pants, I was never a fan of them.
Because we'd always have the wraparound stripes. I never really liked that.
And I don't think I was with it like i don't think i was with like you know swagging out and stuff before games i was just always so tunnel vision like man i hope i fucking play good what about what about uh falcons for that uh tryout you look good on that except for the couple balls you dropped the hard part you did drop a couple i dropped one ball and it'll be no it's they loop it back yeah he looped it that's a loop that was so arthur smith texting me and pft a video of will copton dropping a ball in a tryout guys guys guys is arthur not a boy or what he's a boy yeah the best legit we're in this we can talk about it we're. It's me, PFT, Big Cat, and Arthur.
Arthur texted me one morning because you guys were chirping him about his chin. This was two years ago, maybe? Well, I mean, let's fix it.
Yeah, we were helping out a friend by telling him his chin is awful. I talked to you about being honest with people.
Yeah. We were just being honest.
Yeah. We were making sure that get ahead of the story, Art.
The chin's a problem. We've got to fix this fast.
He looks good now, doesn't he? He looks great. He looks great.
And he texts me. He goes, hey, put me in a group chat with PFT and Big Cat.
And I just put, laugh out loud, okay, put us all in a group chat. We've had this group chat for the last couple years now.
And the whole, I feel like the entire thought of the tryout came from the group yes it did because we were trying to tell him how to beat the rams yeah and it was like uh hey have somebody get you got to get aaron donald suspended have him rip somebody's helmet off and beat him with it yeah and aaron donald get thrown out of the game full back yeah and pft was like seems like a job for fullback willie and i was like would you do that i was like yeah he's like could you do a workout right now like are you in shape but i was like nothing that caffeine and toradol couldn't get me through and then that next week is when they call they're like that's so bring me in for a tryout yeah how funny is that yeah he's the best he's he's a great dude and his chin has gotten so much better yeah it has it was did him a massive favor doing we did right exactly like we because you know like you're the head coach of an nfl team probably a lot of guys in the facility who won't say, hey, man, your chin looks like melted cream cheese. We will.
Yeah. And then you fix it.
That's just being a good friend. That's a good friend.
That's a good friend. That's a solid friend.
The ones that will tell you. Something's in your teeth.
You had a booger in your nose. Your chin looks like melted cream cheese.
Yeah, I think our first, we were like, Arthur, just become a COVID mask guy. Just forever.
Just be like the last guy with a mask on. Super lib, yeah.
Super lib. What if you said something like that to Vrabes? Do you think Vrabes would laugh it off? Or do you think Vrabes would actually punch you? Something like what? You got a cream cheese trend? Yeah.
Well, he doesn't. So don't say that.
Don't say that. No, I don't say that.
That was Will again. Mike has a strong chin.
However Has gotten comfortable From a weight standpoint You can tell he's eating well You're on your own That's alright he fired me I can say this dude He has gotten a little comfortable dude You see the vest it's a size bigger every single year Oh no Did he talk to you after you got cut Did he reach reach out personally? Yeah, I sat in his office with him and ran. But you knew it was coming.
Yeah, I knew the minute I had to get surgery the second week of the season, it's over. Right.
In my head, I'm like, they probably should have cut me last year. Yeah.
They made a big mistake. Have you recovered from the graphic that Bezos put out? No.
It was the Amazon graphic. You were in a wheelchair.
Yeah, you were in a wheelchair. And your friend Ben, ben the sinner he had like the cartoon like yeah with like a big bump and birds flying yeah that uh that's something you just can't recover from but amazon i don't know if jeff bezos specifically but amazon reached out to the titans like to apologize and wanted my number and i was like do not give them my number i want to keep wearing this for a while yeah that thing still pops up every single day do me in that damn wheelchair that's okay though no it's a bad photoshop too but in in the content world if you have something that people can just pick on you that's like a win the worst part was i was with all of you in that bar in arizona and we just saw it we saw it live yeah we saw it live oh oh i thought oh i didn't see the wheelchair first I'm on the TV.
I look good. And then all of a sudden, my phone's blowing up, and I'm just getting bodied on the internet.
And it's like, I deserve this. So you guys have been at Parcel now for what, two years? I think we're going on three.
Three? We're going on three? Yeah. Three.
It was three in February. How's the content world working? Are you guys, is it everything you thought it would crack up to be or is it like what's what are the pitfalls what do you i love it i think yeah i think it's more it's better than we thought it would be yeah yeah it's been a it's been a blast have you have you stayed uh i saw you got into it a little bit the other day will with who with the guy who made the joke about uh uh uh doing a podcast on an airplane you called them flying with the fellows yeah you called.
I was actually talking with Taylor about that. I was like, yeah, like, you know, number one, you're not going to hit every joke.
No. And there's times, you know, you either don't drink coffee in the morning or you just roll out of bed the wrong way.
Just on the wrong side. We all have bad days.
Yeah, and you... Except Taylor, he has no bad days.
When you look at the content world, it's not usually, you know, tasteful to go at people when it comes to money. Especially you're making so much.
Yeah. Yeah.
Will does really well. Well, no, you know what it is, Will? Honestly, you can do it, but you have to be that guy all the time.
Like Dave does. Correct.
But Dave is that guy. Right.
Right. Right.
Right. Right.
He doesn't apologize for it. And he's like, I got rich.
Right. I'm rich now.
Right. Because I usually try to find a fun way to chirp back at people because it's not like that person said anything that bad.
I just felt like the shot he was taking, like, oh, this white linebacker who comes in, Dylan Radon's like, they're both going to suck, and then they can do a podcast together. That's like how I read it in my head at the time.
Yeah, I can't believe I caught strays with that. Did you? Well, they're both going to suck.
Yeah.

That's a tough L to take, dude.

Taylor, I've been meaning to ask you about this because we were watching,

I think it was the college semifinal game.

I want to say it was TCU.

That game?

Yeah, TCU versus Michigan.

Michigan, yeah.

You were on the sidelines for that on ESPN, right?

ESPN 2, yeah.

ESPN 2.

It wasn't ESPN.

Our friend Cole Kubelik was down there.

He's the man.

We love Cole.

Love Cole.

And RG3 was with you. We haven't got a chance to meet RG3.
He has an open invite on this podcast. We hope to have him on soon.
But RG3 had to leave at the very start of the second half because his wife was in labor. And he waited until the cameras came back on to show everybody his phone and be like, I got to go.
And you guys were like, oh shit, RG3's wife is in labor. Then she didn't have a baby for like a month after he left.
Yeah. Did he leave you high and dry? Do you think that he was playing hooky? Do you think he left you guys to finish the game on your own? I think privacy is a place for everybody.
Maybe he didn't want to let everybody know for the first month about their kid. Oh.
Maybe that was real. Maybe it wasn't though.
Yeah. Maybe he told a group of individuals at halftime that he had to make a Southwest flight because he booked the wrong flight in the next two hours and he had to leave 30 minutes into the third quarter.
Yeah. Maybe he would much rather be in a situation where his wife calls him and he has to leave.
I don't know. I don't know his truth.
But I think he should come on this podcast and explain it. He should discuss.
He should discuss,

because I think that was also the day where every Southwest Airlines flight

got grounded all across the country.

He also did a genius job of,

because you guys know fathers,

the pregnant wife thing.

We were sitting here being like,

we want to call him out,

but that's a touchy situation.

I had to wait.

He totally disarmed us. We can't start running around the internet being like, show us the baby.
Show us the baby. Like that's a good, good L that you're going to catch right away.
That's a big L. But that's a good awareness for you to know that.
A lot of guys wouldn't see that. No, we kept that in the locker room.
Yeah, that's good. There's certain takes you have to keep in the locker room and not put out there for the public.
Do you guys have anything that, like any takes you guys have been privately discussing? Any of those takes would probably stay private in the locker room. Too hot for the air? Well, you were telling me one earlier, right, Taylor? What was that? You were saying the thing about players in the NFL and drug use.
No. Oh, you weren't? Okay, never mind.
No, I wasn't saying anything. You said something about who's that white quarterback that you weren't a huge fan of in the draft no you said you didn't like oh yeah yeah that was no that was uh jacob i know for sure it was kentucky from fresno state but i love you said something about a guy yeah you just weren't a big fan no i actually said let's be nice to will levis because he's a huge stoolie okay that's what you said and you said i don't give a fuck Nope,'t say i don't care about i said i don't i said i don't trust him you said what did michael raport say he doesn't give a fuck about stoolies i feel the same way that's what you said that's all i said what i said was you said stoolies where i come from that means that you're a snitch and you put mayonnaise in your coffee you just you can't be a trustworthy individual no okay i hope the titans don't take all right, so this is where there's a disconnect here because I think Will Levis is already in the content game.
Yeah. He's good at it.
That's something. I'm seeing Will Levis, and I'm drafting him not only for his quarterback play but for his future ability as a podcaster.
That's a big bar. Now is the team going to get a percentage, a cut of that podcast revenue? If he started the podcast while he was playing for the team and the team helped to put it out, I think that a smart organization would be like, we're going to take some of the ads and then you're going to get...
Maybe that circumvents the cap a little bit. If he's working for the team media department, you can pay him more money for his podcast.
That's a big brain thought. That is a big brain thought.
If there's a situation, he's not really paying out well paying out well. You know, we're driving some good revenue over here.
So at least that kind of offset the cost. Winning off the field, like our friend Bruce Allen used to say.
I'd like to take this opportunity to say I've changed my mind completely about Will Leves. There we go.
I think he's going to be maybe a Hall of Famer. Hall of Famer, yeah.
Hall of Fame person as well. Now, what if we said that he was going to maybe do a podcast at Barstool Sports and take over for two other guys who played in the NFL?

Will, let me walk you through this.

Will Levis is going to be richer than you after tonight.

You can't call him poor.

What's the next thing we say?

He's actually thinking of something mean to say.

What the fuck?

You guys want to talk some Big Ten football?

Let's talk Big Ten football.

Let's talk some Big Ten football.

Let's do it.

Where do you want to start?

Do you think Nebraska has any chance?

Taylor, this is crazy.

I'll answer these questions, Will.

Yeah, it's crazy that he thinks that Matt Rule is the answer here.

Yeah.

Here's what I know after talking with the people at the upper, the upper whatever, upstairs of Nebraska. They had two coaching candidates that they were massive fans of, and they realized that one was going to be a head and shoulders above the other, and one was Luke Fickle.
Was it Luke Fickle? Yeah, Luke Fickle. And then Matt Rule.
And once they found out the caliber that which guy can get to the highest of the program, they chose Matt Rule. I do believe three to five years from now, Nebraska is playing for Big Ten Championship.
Okay. So Luke Fickle, the guy who's actually been to the college football playoff.
And also Luke Fickle was hired before Matt Rule. So that feels like...
We're talking about at Cincinnati. That feels like...
Luke F realize that was told no. He was told no by Alaska.
You guys realize that going to the college football playoff at Cincinnati is way harder. Yeah, but all you got to do is win your game.
You have to win every game. Easy schedule.
Easy schedule. Who else did they schedule somebody hard the year that they made it? Yeah, they far, right? They beat Notre Dame.
Notre Dame's not them. Oh, okay.
Okay, well. They did beat Notre Dame.
What year is this?

This is, what, 2019?

No.

Notre Dame's probably the most fraudulent school in the NCAA.

If Nebraska has that schedule.

Let's talk about it.

Let's talk about it, Taylor.

Notre Dame.

3-9 that year.

That was the year that they probably.

Big Cat.

They went 3-9.

Yeah, on our schedule.

If we're on Cincinnati's schedule, we win that outright.

No chance.

We're in the college football playoff.

Yeah.

Taylor, let's start with that. Big Cat.
They went 3-9. Yeah, on our schedule.
If we're on Cincinnati's schedule, we win that outright.

No chance.

We're in the college football playoff.

Yeah.

Taylor, let's talk about that.

I was really hoping that brush over PSD. You said Notre Dame is the most fraudulent school in college football.

I would say it's close.

Why are you looking at me?

Notre Dame?

I'm just looking for a little help out here.

No, that's Texas.

It's a bold statement.

No, Texas is going to be back, dude.

They got the Manning kid. Notre Dame has like they've they've been in the mix every single year they haven't won the title they need that one difference maker at quarterback who do they

play every year besides usc i mean they they play they usually play a good out of conference like

they played ohio state last year ohio state's not that good anymore dude they're way past their prime

what i've been to the facilities i've seen those players oh yeah i forgot michigan okay yeah i've

See you next time. like they played Ohio State last year.
Ohio State's not that good anymore, dude. They're way past their prime.
What? I've been to the facilities. I've seen those players.
Oh, yeah. I forgot Michigan.
Okay. Yeah.
I've seen those players. No, they're definitely not keeping up with those facilities over there.
Yeah. They had like a giant dunk tank, basically, an isolation chamber that you could go into and just recover at like 10 times the normal speed.
Who? Ohio State. We didn't see that.
We were there. Yeah.
Yeah, I see that we didn't get they gave us the good tour we did a tour of ohio state facilities and uh we got like halfway through and i was like where's urban meyer's uh contract that he wrote to his family saying like he cares about them more than football and uh and what the guy giving us a tour like was like this tour's over he like didn't talk to us oh really yeah what actually happened we were in his office and and they're showing us around his office and he's got the contract yeah and then and then big cat goes up to goes hey guys this is the contract his family fake heart attack and he started taking a picture of it and then i heard one of the guys whisper to the other other coach that was giving us the tour, like, they're making fun of Coach's contract. And then they reacted like he was a cult leader.
They're like, we need to extricate these gentlemen from this facility. He had to make a contract to say that he loves his family, and I was the weird one.
Yeah. I do think there's an argument.
I think there's an argument. This is going to be painful.
But I think there's an argument that Michigan is the most fraudulent team in college football. Oh, all right.
So off that, Taylor. Yeah.
Last year, you go to the college football player for the second year in a row. Yeah, we went to it.
Let's remember that we went to it. You went to it, but it was a failure.
Yeah. You win the next championship.
Yeah, it was a failure. It was a failure.
Michigan lost that game. Michigan lost that game.
TCU did not win that game. Okay.
But still TCU won the game. TCU had a higher score at the end of the game.
Let me see. Wait.
Based on the way the game was played. Who had more points? TCU.
So they, did they win or lose? Yeah, they won. But I'm saying Michigan.
This is like our Max debate. Max says that phillies didn't get no hit in the world series michigan has the has better talent and should have won that game they have better coaches as well however there are there are miscues we had a pick six there is a quarterback running back exchange issue at the goal line that should have been called a touchdown in the first place this is after there's an interception you guys want to you guys didn't even sniff that i'm saying I'm saying when you say we had more talent and we should have won that game but we didn't win it, it's the loser talk.
And you're right. We didn't sniff the Big Ten, but we're not saying we're good.
That's why I'm saying there's an argument for both. We're climbing the mountain.
We are a top four program in all of college football sports. Some are saying Michigan's on the other side of the mountain,

and they never got to the top.

That's ridiculous to say.

We're on the climb.

Willie and I are on the climb.

Have you seen their recent recruiting class?

Okay.

They're number one.

They're over Ohio State.

They're over Georgia. They're over Alabama.

So they should win all their games, especially against TCU.

I'm just saying they're just reloading over and over again.

Hey, they're number one right now early in the recruiting process.

That's all right.

That's okay.

What does that get you if you're number one recruiting?

A lot of opportunity.

It actually gives you a... and over again.
Hey, Big Cat, they're number one right now early in the recruiting process. That's all right.
That's okay.

What does that get you if you're number one recruiting?

A lot of opportunity.

It actually gives you the opportunity when you lose in the college football playoff to TCU.

You say we have more talent.

Better coach.

We have the best strength staff.

We have the best strength staff.

We have the best coaching staff.

And they're going to develop these players.

We're going to win that.

It's huge.

And when Harbaugh leaves, when Harbaugh does that, oh, I'm going to leave, blah, blah, blah, and he finally goes in two, three years, the O-line coach, Sharon Moore, he will be the head coach of the University of Michigan. He will take them to the pinnacle as well.
But what you're also saying is by having, by far and away, the best recruiting class, if you don't win the national championship in the next two years, it's the biggest disappointment of all time. Three years.
But yeah, I'm willing to look into the future like that with you. So what happens if they don't win within three years? Put some stakes on it.
Then what do you want to put on it? Soul Patch. You've got to fire the entire staff.
You've got to rock Soul Patch for a year. I don't think I can even get one.
You look good at Soul Patch. You look like the guy from Smash Mouth.
No, I'm not a Soul Patch guy. Smash Mouth is a good pull, by the way.
That's a great pull. I think you could be a soul patch guy.
Yeah, don't discount yourself like that. No, I'm not going to do that.
Let's do something else. You're big enough to be a soul patch guy.
If you're a large man and you have a soul patch, you're like, that guy plays bass in a new metal band. I'm feeling it as if it's actually going to grow on me right now.
Would you say that Michigan should fire their entire staff? No, I'm not going to say that either. They've got the number one recruiting class in the country.
Right now. But right now they do.
It's early in the recruiting class. The expectations have been raised.
You beat the shit out of Ohio State last two years. The first year that you did it, that was kind of it.
You had to beat Ohio State. You did it.
Now you have to start going deeper. It's been progressive steps every single year.
Well, no, last year was lateral.

No, no, no.

The next year, it's, hey, can you beat Ohio State in Columbus

the first time in 20 years?

Did that.

Okay.

Won the Big Ten Championship outright again.

Now the next hurdle is just get to that final two.

If they get to the final two next year, I'm happy.

Okay.

If they don't, I'm willing to put something on it,

but a soul patch, listen, that's a life-changing experience.

Yeah, well, I mean, you have improved.

It's not necessarily lateral because you didn't lose by 70 this time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that's a life-changing experience. Yeah.
Well, I mean, you have improved. It's not necessarily lateral because you didn't lose by 70 this time.
Yeah. Yeah.
And they also kind of should have won. It should have been an all-Big Ten National Championship.
Yeah. That would have been so incredible.
That would have been so dope. Who would you have gone for? I would have been happy.
I would have been like, look, hang a banner. Big Ten won.
Big Ten won. No matter what.
So, yeah, when we were talking, when was that? We were last year. It was right one big 10 one no matter what so yeah when we were talking when was that we're last year it was right before like friday it was black friday we were talking about how we were talking to big he's got a roof for michigan yeah he's got he just said he wouldn't yeah it's like bro you gotta it's like your game of thrones yeah they came you gotta you gotta come together to be the white walkers well what he doesn't realize is that you in a situation like that if michigan had to the national championship, it's a win-win as long as you just have your spin zone hat on.
Because if Michigan wins, I would have been like Big Ten all the way. And if Michigan loses, I'd be like, Dave, you're a loser.
Yeah. And you can find your way out in one of those situations.
No matter what. Right.
So you got to set yourself up with it, though, with the groundwork. Yeah, you seem like a big insurance policy guy.
Yeah, right. You've always got something in the back pocket.
Listen. You've always got to see a glass half full.
Right. Like, I'm going to find my way out of this.
Right. Would you rather lose in the semifinal game or get to the finals and lose and get blown out like TCU did? Get to the finals.
Yeah, you got it. Because that one week of optimism is going to be so amazing.
It's like the second weekend of March Madness. But it is important to just always have yourself – like every bowl season, I'll always tweet out the records like the first weekend when like Illinois beat someone and SEC hasn't played yet.
And I'm like, SEC, no wins. You just got to get it when the going is good.
And then when the going goes bad, you just disappear. I never said that.
I never said any of that. That's a big thing about the internet.
Big Ten Cat, I don't know who that guy is. Big Ten's always hot at the beginning of bowl season.
Dude, I know it. Believe me, I'm tweeting mad.
I'm changing my Twitter handle. I'm doing all the shit, and then when shit starts to go south, it's like we're focused on the NFL playoffs.
What are we talking about here? College's over I think Michigan wins it next year they've done great with the transfer portal they've had good players come in our running back stayed that J.J. McCarthy he's back he's now got that experience oh yeah you want him back kid's a stud first time he's going to win the whole thing next year.
Okay. Football school, officially.
Oh, it's been a football school. It's the winningest program in college football history.
It was never once a basketball school. No, when I was there, it was definitely a basketball school.
When I was there, it was everything but football school. And they are the winningest program.
Our softball team ripped. Our basketball team ripped.
Hockey team was in the Frozen Four like three out of the four years. And Michigan was smarter than everyone else because in the early 1900s, they just invited the local YMCA to Ann Arbor, beat them, and then they're like, look, another win for the boys.
Did they teach them how to play football? Yeah. There were a couple teams where they brought them in.
Come on over. And they taught you, like, here's this sport that's taking over America.
We're going to practice with you for two days, show you how to play the game, and then we're going to play you and beat you by two. And call it a title.
Call it a national title. Yeah.
They don't ask how. They ask how many, boys.
That's all they do. I actually want to look it up real quick.
1902 Michigan. Let's just pick a random year.
You've already had this thing. No, no, no, no, no.
I'm just picking a random year. Michigan dominated in the 50s.
That was, like, their last time that they, like, dominated it. 97, we won a national championship.
You shared a national title. Week one, 1902, they beat a school called Albion, 88 to nothing.
Hey, I want to ask a question. Throughout the record books, when Michigan and Albion get together, no love lost.
No rival, Albion. taylor don't say anything okay and always they beat buffalo non-major which i think was just dudes from buffalo 128 to nothing in 1901 that's the kind of firepower we're doing we gotta get back to those good old days that's a fucking juggernaut get back to that michigan let's do that again go ahead all right here's the question and i would like everybody to answer too so way we get a majority vote.
If you win a national title and you shared it, would you rather have the coaches national title or the AP national title? Oh, good question. Good question.
Go ahead, Billy. I respect the biz.
Coaches? No, okay. Everybody can have their own vote.
Yeah, yeah. AP.
Coaches. I'd take AP.
I'd go coaches. Three to three.
Oh, shit. I'd take AP, and here's why.
Hey, it's split. When they talk about you, who do you want writing the history of who won that national title? The journalists.
They're going to be like our team. They're going to go with the AP vote as opposed to the coaches.
You really went 3-3? You guys should just split it. This hypothetical.
The hypothetical. You should split it.
You should split it because that never happened. Nebraska won the coaches poll.
No, I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I knew what the question was. Okay.
1997. Yeah.
The thing about Michigan, too, is Michigan has this. The AP's a wooden trophy.
I know what you're saying. We got the crystal.
We got the nice. I know.
It sucks. If you don't go to Michigan, usually people hate Michigan.
Because they literally have it in their song, the leaders and best. I understand why they want the coaches felt some type of way and let Nebraska have that championship.
Do you actually think people hate Michigan? I don't think about them at all. When they get good.
You do. When they get good.
Don't do that. You think about them every day.
No, I don't feel strongly one way. I would have been fine with Michigan winning the national championship this year, but I wouldn't have.
You know what? I wanted them to win it last year when the big dogs showed up. What were they wearing? They were just the run the damn ball shirts, and then they just couldn't run the ball at all.
That was a tough look. Yeah, well, they had a whole NFL team on the Georgia.
No, I think Michigan, when they're good, is hateable because they're elitist. Ohio State, when they're good, they're like scumbags, and they just beat the fuck out of you.
It's a very different hate for everyone else in the Big Ten, I would say. Wouldn't you agree, Will? Yeah, I would agree with that.
How is Michigan elitist? Well, I mean, you just said. You just literally said the leader.
I would say, but we run it down people's throats, dude. We run the damn ball.
Michigan winning. I understand.
I love Jim Harbaugh. I've been a Jim Harbaugh fan for a very long time.
I love him. So it definitely dulls it for me where I'm like, I want him to be successful.
But if you're a two-time Joe Moore award winner, first time ever in NCAA history, that's not elitist, dude. That's just grit and determination.
But I think what PFT's saying is when you just think of

the brand of Michigan overall, you feel like when they're

winning, you're like, oh, all these preppy kids.

Yeah, the Harvard Midwest. All these preppy kids

are with all these hoity-toity boys. I know what he was saying,

Will, and it's unfortunate, but it is kind of

true. Will, would you have won an Urban Meyer?

Do what? At Nebraska?

Yeah. No.
Yeah. You would have won

a guaranteed national title. A lot of blondes in Nebraska.
That would have been a guaranteed national title. He wouldn't have made it a week there, dude.
Yeah, Irvin probably would have left. You know what I mean? There's not enough action going on out there.
All there is in Nebraska is denims. Denim, jeans, and blondes.
Here's one for you, Taylor. October 15th, 1896.
Michigan won 28-0. Who did they play? 1896? Yeah.
Yale. They played a school called Physicians and Surgeons.
Yep. So they're obviously a bunch of Will Compton.
They got all the lab coats in Ann Arbor. They're like, get on down here.
Yeah, hell yeah. They just throw them the ball and light them up.
That seems like a trap game, though. 28, you probably didn't cover the spread in that one.
Yeah, no, definitely not. Probably not at that time.
It's a trap game. It is funny because obviously they were playing football, so you can't really hate on them, but it's just funny to look at some of the names of the teams.
Dude, it's so funny. It's just like, who the fuck? It's not even a school.
What was the name of that school again? Physicians and Surgeons. Physicians and Surgeons.
Yeah, that's fucking wild. They just invited the medical school to come down and get their ass kicked.
That's wild. Good for them to see like they literally saw 200 years in the future.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like you can't really hate it.
It's just more funny to look back and be like, who the fuck did they play? Dude, that's why it's a top 15 public school in the world. They just think like that.
They understand. So that means you're number 15 when you say top 15.
No, I was top 15 pick. 1895 against the Detroit Athletic Club.
There it is. Yeah, that's the YMCA.
That's the YMCA. Imagine how sick that would have been to be on that Michigan team.
Who we got this week, boys? We got the school teachers. Yeah, we just found these guys down the street.
They don't know how to play the game. Hell yeah, boys.
Let's take care of them. So much fucking fun.
Dude, that would be a hilarious movie. Like a Will Ferrell doing that movie.
That's when they invent the forward pass. Yeah.
Something like that. Teddy Roosevelt has to step in.
That's probably why he stepped in at that point, to make football safer. Because you guys were just killing people on the football field.
We were just, hey, let's go back then, man. Will, you're 10.2.
Loading. Loading.2 loading correct we're loading it right always loading did you get any calls from xfl teams no man you know i tried i tried pursuing the xfl that's not true you had a couple dms didn't you i got dms no phone calls yeah i did have that's brutal because when i can't call when i showed the dm uh when i showed that public dm the guy who was working that account was like hey do you mind asking will if he delete that like i don't want that to get back to me and then i get fired and like oh hey it's it's it's free content right now brother yeah yeah uh and my my uh my offer was i'll play in the xfl if we can get the rock on the podcast if the rock will come on the bus uh-huh you know what i mean fair don't you think yeah that's reasonable do you get back to you no we didn't hear anything i would like to publicly sweeten that pot too on the bus.
You know what I mean? Fair. Don't you think? Yeah.
That's reasonable. Did he get back to you?

No, we didn't hear anything.

I would like to publicly sweeten that pot, too.

If The Rock comes on our podcast, I will also play in the XFL.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

Different team than Will, though.

Are you going to play offensive line or tight end?

You don't want to play on the same team?

No, I do.

But I want to beat you again.

So you're not retired.

That was really mean.

I probably play tight end. You beat me.
I probably play tight end You beat me I play tight end You beat me Never What do you No once I beat you once When you were in the Raiders You beat me twice No I Michigan Oh yeah Michigan Nebraska I'm 2-2 We're at Nebraska We're 2-2 Yeah we're 500 against each other You should split a trophy But then if you go into Well if you go to the Boston Bowl, I'm three and two against you. And that is very Michigan of you to invent a trophy to just win it every year against Nebraska.
They're in the worst front ever. I was doing a solid for my friend making sure his school made it to a bowl game that year.
Nebraska. That was me doing the best I could to help his team out.
In their worst stretch ever. It's like, let's, what let's fucking make a trophy let's get this game yeah it's official the like I want to say Nebraska up in the press box called down like hey we don't want no ceremony going on here we didn't agree to this we did not agree to this yeah we created a bowl game and the the FAU actually put the trophy in their trophy case Western Kentucky oh Western Kentucky yeah they played did they play They played.
Did they play FAU? They played down in Boca Raton. Yes.
Yes. Yeah.
Did you guys go to it? No, we sent Caleb on the field. He actually got an interview with the coach like right after the game.
Oh, that's awesome. Yeah.
He wasn't credentialed or anything. He just jumped on the field and then he got kicked off the field.
Michigan, they're freaking supporting it. Yeah.
They're showing it off. It's right next to the Paul Bunyan trophy, the brown jug, all that.
It's in that trophy case. Oh, a little breaking news.
Ravens have agreed to terms with Lamar Jackson. Good.
I didn't want him anyways. Fuck him.
What was the number? Who cares? Too much? Too much? Overrated. He's a running back.
He's a running back that happens to play quarterback. Why would you ever want to agree to a long-term deal with him as your quarterback? Overrated.
Fleeced. Lamar Jackson fleeced the Ravens.
Are you projecting right now? In real time? No, I don't even know what that means. Seriously, Lamar Jackson, he's coming off of eight bouts of IBS.
His intestines are falling out of his butthole every week. He can't throw a forward pass.
He's a running back. His PCL is made out of shredded cheese.
This is coming from a place to hate. Imagine wanting him as your quarterback.
Good for Lamar. I'm glad that he got paid, but if I was the Ravens, that's a lot of money to get to.
Why don't you say what you were telling me outside of here? I wasn't telling you anything. He's like, I would suck a dick for Lamar Jackson.
I said your dick because it's so small. There's another genetic thing he had going on that you didn't like about him.
What do you mean? Uh-oh. You were telling me.
The truth is about to come out. I'm just setting the stage if you wanted to say it.
You said all that other stuff about him. Say what you also said.
I can't believe that you would go there, Will, because that's the fact that you're even thinking about it right now is very racist on your part. Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. That's what he wasn't talking about.
I truly, I love watching your guys' brains work. They operate different.
You guys always do a really good job of finding the three moves ahead. Yeah, you guys do a good job of that.
You owe us money, right, Will? I don't think so. Yeah, you owe us.
Did you pay PFT? What do I owe PFT? For the mini golf? What do we bet? We bet on the mini golf. It was like...
500 each. It was Boston against PMT.
Yeah. I think it was 500 with you.
No, Taylor paid me $500. You owe him $500.
We made a bet right before we have it on film. You have like 10 guys following you with iPhones filming everything that you did.
You got to show me the tape. You owe me 500 bucks.
Yeah. Taylor paid me 500 bucks this morning.
Because he's a gentleman. Yes, great guy.
So do I owe you $500?

No, you owe PFT $500.

And also you robbed us at Arizona Bowl.

But Taylor, I'll never say a bad thing about Taylor.

You, you're a deadbeat.

You do bring up PEDs a lot, but I do appreciate not saying that. Well, it's, you know.

That's good of you, though.

What was it?

That's good of you.

What was it?

What was it?

Smart of you.

All right, so to all Tennessee fans, you know what? Fuck it. I'm going to go for my heart.
I'm going to go for my heart. One of the greatest speeches of all time.
Are you going to cover Will? Are you going to cover Will? Oh, look at that. Look at that.
What a guy. What a guy.
Taylor's a stand-up guy. As soon as I saw you pull out that yellow sheet of paper, I knew exactly what you're doing.
I was like, let's get the fuck off this as quick as possible. You don't even have to pay me back when we're good.
I do have a question for you guys. We haven't.
We haven't. This is a serious question.
I'm not playing chess. I'm not moving.
Don't do this. I'm not doing anything.
Yes. In-N-Out is the best burger.
No, no, no, no, no. Not going to talk about that.
I am curious to know how you guys decided that you were boys and you were going to work together. Was there a moment where you were like, I vibe with this dude? Was there anyone who approached the other person

and said like,

I fuck with this guy,

hard body karate.

Let's do a podcast together.

How did that go?

I'll come in his hole.

Any of that?

Whose hole got came into by the other guy?

Because PFT and I come in each other's holes all the time.

This is,

I think it's another good question for the group.

Like,

who do you think would be the bottom?

Who would be the top? This is a question for everybody. I think Will was like, I want to do a podcast.
Billy, who's the top? Well, how does it work with Jeffree Star? I'll get to that a little bit. Better hold on.
Go ahead. Go ahead, Billy.
It's going to be Will. Will's going to be the top? No, the bottom.
Okay. Oh, power bottom.
That's all you got to say is power bottom. Will does have an ass on him, too.
Yeah, he's got a great ass. He's got a little Buick back there.
You fucking riding that. I love how Billy's the only one that answered.
Let's just keep it at that. Yeah, yeah.
Billy, pretty sus of you to even think about that. People are saying that was sus of you.
I'd never answer that question. Billy, don't.
I'd never answer that question. Don't dignify that with a response.
PFT, would you ever answer that question? I forgot the question already. That's how straight I am.
How did you think it went? No, if I were to guess, I'd say that Will had the idea of, like, you wanted to get into the content game because you said that you were fucking making vines on draft night. No wonder you didn't get drafted people were like this guy yeah he doesn't care about football enough hang on that's a well that's just my vine game's taking some ricochets i don't even know why no the vines were probably great that's my thing is like if the vines are too good i'll be like that guy doesn't care about football we should back up you well that person would have been wrong we would have made wrong judgment that would have been i i would have been a bad gm we had the idea to do a podcast in a van.
Then Will saw it. Yeah.
It's like, oh, this is a good idea. So hang on.
He said, hey, I'm not trying to play chess. I'm not.
I'm genuinely curious how you guys got together and wanted to do a podcast. Yeah, I had the idea of doing a podcast.
I want to say the very first time it might have been talked about between Taylor and myself, he was unsure of it. There was one where i was driving to do some radio interview for tennessee and he's like uh we the podcast came up again he was like i'm down to do it and then when the then when it finally happened we were banged up at some chinese restaurant tell him the truth we were banged what we were high yeah banged up i thought you were drunk but yeah yeah i thought he was high on hch there he goes again.
Give me that $500 back. I'll give you every time we make a reference to your PD.
Pass that back. Pass that through.
We were high at a Chinese restaurant and shook hands. There's only one.
It's starting now. Yeah, that is how it started.
You were high at a Chinese restaurant and you shook hands that's when it that's when it got consolidated so Will wanted to do it and I was like I'm 100% and two days later I left to go to California to train for three months and then I came I think Will called me like halfway through training he's like do you really still want to do this because I'll wait for you because he was like I want to yeah I was like if not I want to get this going because you know who knows if fucking I'll get the opportunities to play. Right.
And so I was like, yeah, I'm for sure done to do it. And then we found the bus quickly after I got back to Nashville.
What year was that? 2018? 2019. What year was Bristol Vantalk? 2017.
2017, okay. You know what's crazy is if you look at when our podcast started and in my NFL career, how fast my NFL career went down.
Yeah, same. In 2019, we started the podcast.
Like two months later, I failed for a PED. The next year, I tear my ACL.
The next year, I get Chandler Jones. And the year after that, I get my ACL again.
It's like, yo, you might owe me some money, Buster. Yeah, and it also is like when you list all that out, it sucks that you were like- It's tough to find this out now on this podcast.
No, this podcast more than anything you also then had a podcast you had to answer to all of those things and that's good to have your own narrative the podcast is the best thing to happen for you it really is so it's your wife not the best know. Okay.
You talking about my wife and two kids over the podcast?

Second best thing?

No chance.

My kids have only spent money, dude.

I'm making a whole bunch of money doing this.

This is awesome.

It does make sense, though.

Like, if you think back to when we started part of my take,

Big Guy got bit by a dog.

Yeah, I did.

Like, right after.

Right through my pinky.

I broke my foot walking.

And ever since then, we've had kidney stones. Yeah, BVT got canceled.
BVT got canceled. I've had, yeah, I broke a rib.
It's been bad. It's been tough.
Podcasting is tough. It hurt my back.
Blew out my back. The only person I've seen not affect is Will Compton.
Yeah. Only positives have happened to him.
Yeah, he just dragged you into his devil's lair. His convoluted web of lies.
I just keep it moving, dude. Bro, you, yeah,

you keep it a band

with the kids, huh?

Keep it going, man.

You keep going.

Are you really upset about that?

About what?

Lamar Jackson?

No, I don't care about him.

Again, that's another guy

that I don't think of at all.

Like, who cares?

Hey, why did you guys

stop doing that?

Lamar Jackson,

at least 180 guaranteed.

Oof.

Nice.

Why didn't you guys

continue doing just

at least 52 a year?

Well, we still do it. We did do it, like, the Super Bowl that year.
I remember Bo came on that. Yeah, every time we go on Grit Week, we'll interview people out of the RV or van.
So we do it whenever we're mobile. Now it's like a nice van though, yeah? No, we have just the RV.
I mean, we've changed. Barstool's had different RVs.
So yeah, I guess it is a nicer rv so the van was only for like a certain like like we bought a van for grit week called vanny woodhead that's right six hundred dollars in queens uh yep that's the hubcap right there very cool um thing was a piece of shit but we loved it and then that started van talk and yeah we did a bunch of interviews out of there which sick. Yeah.
I do remember a couple of those. Because that's when I came across it.
Of course you do. Because Bo went on.
You had it on your little inspo board. No.
Your little Etsy. Like, you know.
I will. These guys.
You know what you guys should do? The bus thing was 100% me. It wasn't.
Will was against. Like, not against the bus.
Oh. Whoa.
Whoa. Whoa.
Will seems to disagree. No, I'm saying.
i always thought that the best part of the production team we were working with at the time when we curated the whole thing he's like hey what do you think about this uh there's this broken down bus out back in this gravel parking lot i was like i don't fuck with it but i feel like when taylor gets here he's gonna fucking love it yeah so i was like let's wait till he gets here he's like oh this is fucking awesome yeah we go out back and then there's like yeah let's get it it was like two thousand dollars and he's like i'll put 10 grand into it if it works awesome if it doesn't i'll just keep in my backyard yeah you know what you guys should do is you should end every show you should get like a slot machine on the bus yeah and then take turns trying to get the slot machine right and then the winner gets a jackpot from it yeah that's a great idea. Is that an original thought? Yeah, but it's really good if one of your producers never gets it.
We're going to start doing fans asking questions like FAQs. Oh, nice.
Nice. Not Bustmore.
That was one of our brainchilds that really came to fruition. I gotta admit, credit where it's too.
That's a funny name. That's a good name.
That's a good name. All right, last question for you guys.
Oh, it's over soon? We can go forever. We can go longer.
I'm extremely uncomfortable sitting in this chair. We got like two hours until the fucking draft show.
I have been so uncomfortable this entire podcast. Yeah, that couch is not great.
This seat sucks dick. I look at Will, I look at Will casually, and I'm like, man, he looks so comfortable.
I'm like pitting out. I keep looking at my shirt like wrinkled from the sweat.
I'm like, fuck, dude. It's a bad seat.
It's a bad seat. Thank you for seeing my truth.
And the couch is held up by paint cans. Yeah.
And this mic, you guys have been in the business for too long to have a mic like this. Let's get some more sandbags.
It's part of the allure. All right.
So last question. So is the last question we need to keep going? Yeah.
Because I want to keep going. Roback.com.
R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com. Use code TAKE for 20% off your first purchase.
Q-Zips, polos, joggers, and shorts. Shorts coming.
Go get your shorts right now for summer. Roback.com.
Use promo code TAKE for 20% off. Do you guys want to guess the lottery ball? That's the last question.
Yes. Also, other last question.
I saw you hit the other day. It made me excited.
It was so fun. It's so fun.
How just we can cut this. We'll just turn off the mics.
But how sick was it to do PEDs? Give me. Here you go.
I'll pay. I'll pay a hundred bucks for that.
For that honest answer, I'll pay. I'll pay for.
I'll pay a hundred bucks. It felt good, right? You got popped.
Go ahead, Billy. Billy just guys running.
Go ahead, Billy. Billy just took- Billy, hey.
No, that's William's mic. You would fucking- You would crush a styrofoam cup right now, dude.
I guarantee you're on something, aren't you? What? You're on the gear. You're on something.
No, no, but I'm just saying- You're on gear, but don't work out. You just do it because it's cool to you.
Isn't that right? You're on like a whole shitload of trend. You know how many dudes started doing Asta after you got popped? Oh, you're a role model, my buddies.
They're like, yo, that's what you got popped for? Let's do it. You know what's crazy is there was a whole bunch of dudes in the UFC that got popped for that too.
Really? You know Austrians 4? Did it work for your boys? Exactly. It doesn't do anything.
It's for osteoporosis. Yeah.
So it's nothing beneficial towards football at all for me. Yeah, I can tell.

And I really,

I really wish.

Oh, man.

I'm sure you can find something.

You just keep fucking

rolling through that one.

When you fucking,

if you're gonna,

yeah.

Will,

that one is still not

computed with Will.

I don't even know what to say.

I don't even know what to say.

If you're gonna do something,

like do it.

Do it.

And then you get like,

like Brian Cushing.

Like what a win for him.

Yeah.

He's fucking,

you know,

twice.

Yeah.

If you're gonna do it,

and I'll see you a story. so Actually, I've been enjoying this more than ever.
Made $300 this podcast. Will, how did you get away with using steroids for so long?

You know, I will tell you a story.

So I tore my PCL in 2016,

and I was back on the field playing in nine days.

I remember the doc I was working with, I was like, there's a notable player that everybody has that's rumored out there to be on the stuff.

And I was like, give me what's in his bag and put it in my knee.

And I injected myself like three days in a row and I was back on the field.

Oh, shit.

That's how Billy-

I did not know that story.

That's how Billy knew.

I think Billy used you as a consultant when he was shooting me up with something.

Yeah, BPC-157.

Yeah.

That's a peptide that is now illegal in the NFL, but dude, I mean-

We all use it so much. I got fired up.
When I saw it was illegal, I was fired up. I was like, oh, hell yeah.
I've been on this train since 2016. You knew that you were doing something right.
BPC is a wonder drug. Everybody was using BPC back then.
Yeah. And then was it last year? Last year, January, it went illegal? Yeah.
I wouldn't say everybody was using it. back then and then like was it last year last year January like it went illegal yeah I wouldn't say everybody was using it not everybody but there was a couple hundred guys I found it because Ben Greenfield was on Rogan's pod talking about it that's when he was talking about doing red light for his balls to raise T levels and he talked about he talked about BPC 157 what? you ever heard of that? the red light for his balls? yeah, so Ben Greenfield, he was on Rogan's podcast, and they were talking about ways to raise your T levels.
One of them was red light therapy on your balls for 15 minutes every day. He also injected his dick with stem cell, turned black and blue.
He would do shockwave therapy to break up his blood vessels. Why didn't he just do HGH? So he was doing- Why didn't he just go to therapy? It sounds like he just hated his dick.
He was doing a men's, like men's health wanted him to do an article and he was basically- Biohacking. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Got it. Big biohacker.
But he also was talking about BPC 157. That's how I learned about it that day.
I was like, fuck, I need to get my hands on some of this. It's not- Because it helps like recover injuries.
Helps with le leaky gut, a lot of good stuff. When I would tear, when I get like a, I had a fucking grade one hammy.
I would inject it right into the fucking tissue like twice a day. And I'd be able to be back on the field sprinting in like five days.
Yeah, I avoided surgery on my arm because Billy shot me up with that. Yeah, tennis elbow is a big one.
Yeah. You'll go into it.
I had an ankle spurt. I would literally put it right in my ankle, and like three days later, it was fine.
See, yeah, I respect when you guys do it, but there was a moment when Billy actually stuck a hypodermic needle into my arm and then injected some mystery chemical into it. That was my point where I was like, the content game has gone too far for me.
The content game has gone too far. Yeah, you were weirdly nervous about that.
Well, I don't think it's weird to be nervous about Billy injecting medicine into your body. Yeah, I get that part.
But I figured I would have like... You would have told me if it was a good issue.
Because it's really not like... I think it should be something that's allowed.
It's like that was the equivalent. Ben was talking about TB500 cocktailed with something else.
That's something that fixes injuries right away, but that's illegal on the banned substance list. Cause that's like, you put it in racehorses, but he had found BPC one 50 70.
He's like, this is a good substitute where it's not on any banned substance list. Your PCL bounce back.
You're ready to play. BPC wasn't in my PC.
I don't know what was in my PCL. I was just like, Hey, I'm willing to like, I'll takes some science yeah I'll actually I'll find this video too and it's varsity yeah yeah BBC like but it literally stands for body protection compound and it helps so much with just like recovery sleep it's amazing dude it really is one of the best things you can talk again Billy Billy's just heard all this are you concerned about a negative feedback loop with that though? about a negative feedback loop with that, though? That if you stop taking it, your body's going to stop producing it? No, because once I found out it was going to be on the banned substance, because the NFL were releasing is like BPC, a starting January, whatever year, is going to be illegal.
Then you just stop taking it. What is this video? What's going on? Just playing a video a video So this is a podcast so there's a strong audio.
Oh some random Video will be shot in his knee And wait like DMX Like that because people watching YouTube don't get to see that Billy Billy BPC is not a compound. That's going to like it doesn't raise testosterone levels.
It't does it's not one of those things you get off and you feel like shit like you literally just take it and you just it just feel you feel better you just feel fucking better that's all that's i i want to feel better inflammation like pain relief looked it up it's incredible it's truly it's one of the no downside yeah no no downside yeah that's how i like all my drugs. All right.
You guys want to guess a number? So this will count officially. Hank's not here.
I really hate this, man. So are we going to double up for today's show? Or is this going to be on Monday? This is going to be on Monday's show.
We'll double up. So Monday's show.
We'll do a regular one. This will count official.
All right. I'll guess numbers.
I'll guess 17. Okay.
18. I'll guess 77.
God damn it. 51.
99. Oh, okay.
Go ahead, Billy. I think there's no chance of 99.
Billy's going to say 69. It hit the other day.
It's hit on fourth. It's at its moment.
It's at its moment. Not only has Hank not gotten it, but J.J.
Watt, when he came on over the Super Bowl, he was like, just guess 99. It's hit twice since then.
Which, by the way, and not too much context, do you want to talk about when we came into your guys' podcast? Yeah, that was awkward. Do you want to talk about that or no? Yeah, no, that was fine.
Yeah. It was definitely a life experience.
It was a good life experience for me. So, I'll set the stage real quick.
It was at the Super Bowl. We just interviewed J.J.
Watt. It was, I think, his first interview since he retired.
And we had a great chat with him. It was wonderful.
And Taylor, you asked Big Cat to bring up, like, why won't you go on the bus? And so Big Cat brought it up. And then J.J.'s like, well, because he's spitting on my brother.
And instantly we're like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. Okay, yeah.
I agree with you that you probably should not go on the podcast. Yeah, we're like, we take your side here.
We love these guys, but then as we're wrapping up, Will and Taylor with five camera guys come through the door and confront JJ, and it felt like we were- JJ thought he was getting trapped, and we're like, dude, we didn't set this up. Well, that's not true because you did say you should come in.
I said you could meet him after. You came in right as we were finishing.
Was he not texting us when we were at the podcast? But I also didn't think you were going to come in with five cameras with five cameras he said you can come back and the people were like i think they're about to be done you guys can go in there obviously coming in the doors we weren't coming into ambush but right yeah you can see how it looks that way but it was cool it was for the better because you guys talked it wasn't for the better and bringing the five cameras in it's kind of like we're we're at barstool's vacation hq like you know like that's a game of content so we wanted to yeah that's just kind of like how... You just feel like that's the norm, so you just kind of bring the cameras.
But it was one of those moments where I think every person to a man in that room was like, this is awkward. Yes.
Like, everyone. Everyone.
Every side of it was like, whoops. Yeah, sometimes there's got to be some conflict before cooperation.
I was like, oh, that's awesome. Because, yeah.
And it was so tough. Will was just like, what's going on you did what during your guys's conversation like he came in obviously he says something on his breath like is this an ambush or something you guys had to like reassure him and then at one point you and jj were talking and then you and will were talking and i was like the fifth man out kind of just waiting for the to get into a conversation and it was so uncomfortable but i was like i gotta get fucking through this yes because at the end of the day i do feel really bad about uh spitting on tj's face i know i said it as a joke and stuff like that before it did actually happen no and i could tell too because we talked about it after there was genuine remorse everything yeah there was genuine remorse and hopefully we're gonna build to maybe someday having the wap brothers on the bus it's almost like i don't want maybe maybe no listen instead of them for it instead of them coming on the podcast just them to know that I'm actually sorry yeah I don't even care if they come on I don't care but I just I care yeah and have we have we officially agreed that you're no longer spitting on anybody's face because I asked you about that I did take a lot of L's for that during that week it was definitely a barstool turn on Taylor vibe.
Will's dinner and then the spitting thing. I'll tell you what.
A lot of good drama. What happened was I was helping coach you through how to apologize for this at the time.
And I was like, well, you said that you're sorry. Are you no longer going to spit on anybody's face? Is that shot out of your bag right now? And you're like, I don't know if I can promise that.
So I think that would maybe go a long way to be like i've learned a lesson i've evolved as a human being in my in my pre-woke phase i was spitting on people's faces now this is a new this is a new taylor we're done spitting there's so many other individuals that that's happened to that you've spit on yeah playing football that's happened more than once but you can turn a new leaf yeah yeah i probably won't spend on anything. Are you retiring? You know what? Let's retire.
That's happened more than once. But you can turn a new leaf.
Yeah, yeah. I probably won't spit on anything.
Are you retired? Probably. You know what? Let's retire from spitting on people today.
Let's retire. You don't want to retire from spitting on people? That's tough to let go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll retire from spitting on people.
Okay, that's huge. I don't know if I believe that, though.
Did you use the PFT fear monger you? Nah, bro. It's all good.
Sometimes you gotta grow what were your numbers again you're 99 99 51 hey that was a fuck 77 that was a fuck move all right hey should we talk about this should we talk about the dinner i'm just kidding no just okay just we didn't do enough content about that uh all right now all right here we go this would be awesome if you guys got it hey we should do something like this you get on 99 that's like well what do you have 51, 51. Name says one.
If you get on 99 51 I just saw 51 pop through 75 Oh close It's such a let down when nothing happens Imagine never getting it A tank Never I bought this machine from China ago. Never gotten it.
You've never gotten it? He's never gotten it. That's tough.
Yeah. Hey, we should do something like this.
Yeah, we really should. We should do something like this.
All right. Thank you, boys.
Appreciate it. We're going to be in Nashville in a month and a half.
We'll come on the bus. Tied and you, we're going to make some fun content.
Yes, it's going to be great. You guys do need to come on the bus.
And it's kind of crazy you guys kind of put yourself. That was kind of our thing.
If we're talking about taking ideas. Actually, I mean, George did ask us to come to the initial one.
He did say that on our podcast. George is such a fun-loving dude.
He really is. And he's really good friends with us specifically.
He called us and he's like, hey, I know you guys didn't want you guys to come, but I invited him anyway. You know what George is.
He's always going to be nice. Has George ever said that he would take over for one of you guys if one of you guys were to die or get kidnapped in a foreign country? Yeah.
Oh, yes. He takes over when Taylor's not on a town.
Has George ever done a dab for you after scoring a touchdown in the NFC Championship game because it was your birthday? No, but I've never asked him. My birthday is in September.
Well, it sounds like he can never do it do you think uh for me do you think uh george is an awl he's originally yes over a boy yeah i think if you if you hit him with true serum should we should we call him no no we don't have to put him on the spot call call him i'll call him i'll call him i'll call him i'll call him you know what he's uh He might still be pissed off at Hank for betting on the Cowboys.

Oh, yeah.

That was bad.

So that's on Hank.

So if he says you guys, it's because of Hank.

Yeah, it's not us.

Who's not gotten a lot involved, by the way.

Did you FaceTime or call?

I just called.

What did you call?

George.

That is my name.

Hey, we need you, brother.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Don't fuck that one.

No, okay, okay.

All right, all right.

George.

No, all I meant was we need an answer out of you. No, no.
Hang on. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Easy, easy. Why are you standing there? George, George, it's Big Cat.
The boys are with us in the PMT studio. We were saying, huh, remember the time when you said that? Hang on.
No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.
All right, so the question is, we're going back and forth because we're talking about how much of a boy you are. Like, as just a good dude.
Just a dude. Yeah, just a dude.
But we were like, what do you think George is more of, an AWL or a boy? Oh, wow. Are you asking me which one I prefer? Yeah, George, big cat in PFT here.
Yeah, yeah. If we were standing facing each other about to fight.
If we were on fire and you had one bucket of water. There you go.
George, you remember when we were standing, facing each other about to fight.

If we were on fire and you had one bucket of water.

There you go.

George, you remember when you were a rookie and we met you downstairs?

George remembers all of it.

Like, if he picks you guys, it's all good.

That was the best night of my life.

Both of us were all on fire.

You got two buckets of water.

Who are you dumping them on?

Which side?

You can only pick a side.

You can't just pick one of each.

No, actually, you do whatever you want. I pick Will and Big Cat Oh Alright Will we're good That's fucked up That's a win That's fucked up Will No that was smart of him Alright alright Alright All the shit with Theo Vaughn You know he's more on Theo Vaughn's side than us After saying that answer He said me So I'm alive I'm dead Guys just a heads up.
Is he getting desperate out of you? AWL or boy, George? It's strictly just because I have hosted both of the podcasts. I did an episode where I host with Big Cat and I've done episodes where I've hosted with Will.
And Taylor also went to Michigan. This is a diplomatic answer.
Also, if I died, then he would just take my spot. Yeah, right.
But, George, so AWL or boy. But one would take two bucks of water.
So just because of how big of a person he is. So like that, I can't only save one.
That weirdly made me feel better. Taylor would probably be like, oh, all you got is water.
I was hoping you had HGH. All right, there you go.
So, George, AWL or boy? Oh, I bet. You know what? Yeah.
There it is. Hey, George.
All right. Love you, George.
You know what? All right. Hell, all right.
It's like, what is it? Might as touch? Last question. Last question.
Last question. King Solomon? Since you saved both you and Big Cat, who would he host for? Say again? Since you saved both me and Big Cat, who would you co-host next to?

I will say my chemistry with Compton is one of a kind.

This has been a great show.

Thank you, guys. It was a piece of shit.

Thanks for guys.

Part of my take.

I'm Taylor Lawan.

This is Will Compton.

Taylor, if you ever-

Please subscribe and rate five stars to bust it with the boys.

Look at me dead in the eye.

If you ever want to fucking leave this piece of shit and join with us, we'll do a three-man podcast.

We're good.

Three of us. All right.
I'll make sure you remember that. Me, you, we'll do a three-man podcast.

Okay.

Wrapping up.

Good show, boys.

By the way, Jake, any comment about the fact that I met the second best tennis player of all time this weekend?

That was awesome.

You ran into Roger Federer from people who didn't see. Yeah, second best.
Just in the streets of Brooklyn. Yeah.
Well, he was at the same place I was eating lunch. Right.
But just minding it, he's very unassuming. Yeah, he seems like a really nice guy, was he? Yeah, very nice guy.
Held the umbrella for me. Yeah, well.
Biggest umbrella of all time. Yeah, I mean, kind of a beta movie.
That's what happens in tennis. The ball boys, when they're sitting, they hold it under the players.
So he was my ball boy. Pretty much he's very nice guy yeah very good looking too very good looking not as good as jokovic but not everyone would be perfect right yeah uh uh okay wednesday who do we oh we have a big hockey guest on wed.
So get excited for that. And we're also going to F1 in Miami.

Let's wrap up the show. Hank, I just want to remind you, if you have a clutch gene, this would be the time.
Have you ever gotten this? I have not. I'm going to take seven.
Oh, that's a false start. That's a false start.
You know that's you didn't jump all the way across the line. Neutral zone and I got back.
No, no, we snapped it. I got back before the snap.
You know. You know.
You know. You know.
Numbers. 76.

You got to pick last PFT. You have to pick last.
So 76 is still up for grabs. Yes.
I'll take 53. Okay.
I'll take 17. Keep in mind the number earlier this episode with the boys, 75.

Don't care. You wouldn't have gotten it.
I'll take 17. Keep in mind the number earlier this episode with the boys, 75.

I'll take 20.

PFT?

When I've gotten it twice in three years.

That's just a skill problem.

Okay.

53.

I'm going to take two.

I'm going to take two.

Oh, my God.

14.

I thought it was 17.

Sean Clifford.

What would you do if I got 17 and won? What's the puku? That is now twice. Two out of the last three Sundays, the 14th is it.
April 16th. Oh, my God.
This thing is easy, Hank. Eels made it some of the deepest parts of the ocean, and no one's really sure how they do it.
Eagles?

Of you guys.

Eels.

Eagles.
