Speaker 1 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Electric. Part of my Trick Avenue.

Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take. Today is Monday, May 1st.

Speaker 1 And Hank,

Speaker 1 we should probably just start with you. Hank,

Speaker 1 the floor is yours.

Speaker 1 Hank?

Speaker 8 PFT is not saying anything.

Speaker 1 I was trying to say that Bruins

Speaker 1 was not a failure. I was trying to say that

Speaker 8 you just stepped on. I'm sorry for your loss.

Speaker 9 I had the floor.

Speaker 9 I did not invite you to dance with me.

Speaker 8 Hank, we should usually introduce what we're talking about. You always remind people to do that.

Speaker 1 So I'm just trying to be helpful. Yeah, but go ahead.
The Bruins lost in heartbreaking fashion

Speaker 8 after being the President's Cup trophy winner.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 This was a lot less than Stanley Cup. You lost in the first round to Jake's Florida Panthers.
Die hard. Jake hit you with a really, really.

Speaker 8 A 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?

Speaker 9 Yeah, I want to use the Giannis quote and say that it's not a failure. It's just steps to success.
But

Speaker 9 I don't know how he could say that. That was a complete, abject failure.

Speaker 9 It just hurt a lot, especially at the end of the game. Bergeron was going through the teammate handshake line and hugging everyone.

Speaker 9 Seemed like that might be his last, you know, it could be it for him.

Speaker 9 They've had an unbelievable run for the last, I don't even know, over 10 years, since 2011.

Speaker 9 And they had their best team of all time this year. It felt like this was going to, and they made it to game seven in the Stanley Cup a couple years ago, lost that.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 8 Would have been the best team of all time.

Speaker 9 The President's Cup. They got the goalie cup, whatever the fuck that was.
Pasta got the scoring cup, whatever the fuck that's called.

Speaker 1 It's the complete failure.

Speaker 1 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 ride and then it gets cut short and it's like unfinished business.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 1 But Hank was saying, as far as I could tell,

Speaker 1 this team's not that good from what I've watched this year.

Speaker 9 This was not the team that people watched in the regular season.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Hank. All right, so I got spin zone for you, Hank, because I'm, you know, that did suck.
I mean,

Speaker 1 game seven, playoff hockey, there's nothing like it in sports. Game seven, playoff hockey overtime, it is the cruelest thing in all of sports.
It is

Speaker 1 the feeling you get when you lose a game seven. I was saying to Feidelberg,

Speaker 1 you know, in between periods, I was like, dude, even like the Blackhawks runs, like, I still can

Speaker 1 visualize the Kings in 2014 beating the Blackhawks in overtime overtime in game seven, the Western Commons Final, the puck like bouncing in and being like, wait, it's over?

Speaker 1 There's nothing like, you just,

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 Trump, sorry, excuse me, President's Cup trophy. Like,

Speaker 1 this happens. This happens a lot.
Okay?

Speaker 1 And you could, just word for word, which I think you should do right now live while 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Thank you for being there the entire way. You got to just tweet that.
Let everyone know. You're there for them.
I'm not there for them.

Speaker 1 You're out of the Celtics. You got way bigger business to go.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 9 This is bad for the Celtics. This is like as a city as a whole.
You're both, you know, top seeds.

Speaker 9 You got to 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.

Speaker 9 You want to be the city of champions, you want to be you know the powerhouse. Everyone's going to the stand in the cup finals, everyone's going to the NBA championship.

Speaker 9 They had a lead that looked like you know, they had a chance to empty net. Pasta fucking got that goal.
He had he scored the overtime goal.

Speaker 9 It got so lucky, hit the goalie's like stick when he wasn't even trying to block it.

Speaker 1 That's a save,

Speaker 9 but it wasn't. Okay, it was an accidental save.

Speaker 8 Yeah, by mistake, he was just in really good position. And you could say that it's the curse of Bobrovsky, too.
Sergei Bobrovsky,

Speaker 8 the goaltender for this Florida Panthers team, is also the goaltender for the Columbus Blue Jackets when they beat the Tampa Bay Lightnings, whose statement Hank is about to crib right now, word for word.

Speaker 8 Now, we should address, Hank, the NHL rigged conversation. Yeah.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 The graphic flashed on the screen, the score bug updated. It said goal, Florida Panthers, tieball game 3-3.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Right at the end, and it was about five seconds before the actual goal was scored that.

Speaker 1 It was like 20 seconds. We were on the live stream.
I was like, why did a goal just flash? And everyone's like, wait, I didn't see that. It was

Speaker 1 like 20 seconds.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 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?

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 But I think what they were really saying, they were trying to reverse jinx themselves into saying that we want the Bruins.

Speaker 1 That also, just to defend Toronto for a second, there was also a clip where they said, we want Boston. They were just

Speaker 8 covering your bases.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, right. They were chanting both.
And then the one obviously saying, we want Florida

Speaker 1 got put out there.

Speaker 8 Billy's got to be a bad guy. I wanted Hank to win, and I wanted to go through Hank to get to these Stanley Cup finals.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 10 I just want to say, what's worse? Regular season success and then losing all in the Super Bowl with the 18-1 Patriots season or this Bruins collapse?

Speaker 8 Good question.

Speaker 1 Good question.

Speaker 10 I mean, because the first round upsets almost worse than getting all the way to the end.

Speaker 1 It's definitely the Super Bowl. What are you thinking right now? No, it's obviously the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I don't know.
I mean, this was a great

Speaker 1 regular season of all the time.

Speaker 1 No, but

Speaker 9 that was an upset. This is a collapse.

Speaker 1 This happens in hockey. This is not like.

Speaker 9 It's not different when it has one game.

Speaker 1 I'm not trying to make Hank feel better. This is not on the same level as the Milwaukee Bucks.
This is not on the same level as a one-seat losing a 16. This happens every few years.

Speaker 1 Like, I mean, the Ted Tambay Lightning were the best team in hockey, and they got swept in the first round. I think the Avs hit it a couple years ago.

Speaker 8 I don't think Hank was thinking about the answer to that. Hank was thinking about how he wanted to kill Billy, like what method he was going to use to kill him

Speaker 8 in that moment. But I disagree with the big cat.
I think this is worse than the Bucs. Just because the Bruins.
Yes, yes, because the Bruins were the best hockey team of all time.

Speaker 1 But they also, that also was, that also was a record that is hard. Like, the Red Wings in the 90s had a better record if they had ties back then.
So, I mean.

Speaker 8 Well, it's also 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.

Speaker 1 I just think it happens a lot in hockey. Like, it does happen.
It happens in the future. It just happens more often.

Speaker 1 It just happens a lot in hockey. So, I don't, like, it's just not.

Speaker 1 There's precedent for it.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 the volatility of the NHL playoffs.

Speaker 8 Yeah, and I think it's like back to 2007.

Speaker 8 It's only, I think there have only been one, maybe two Stanley Cup champions that also won the President's Cup trophy, which I love that we just go back and forth all the time.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 9 It's because it's the Cup.

Speaker 1 It's because it's the Cup. Because it's the Cup.
Don't forget the goalie cup.

Speaker 1 Piquet, watching that,

Speaker 8 I know what you're saying. Like, you flash back to the moments when you've watched playoff hockey, when your team has been involved in these overtime games, and in the moment,

Speaker 8 it doesn't feel fun at all. It just feels like you're on the edge of your seat.
But I do miss that sensation. When you're watching playoff hockey,

Speaker 8 it's so fun to watch, but you really wish you were involved somehow to feel the emotions.

Speaker 8 It's like porn in that way.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. And it really is.
It is like the overtime in a game seven. There's just no feeling like it because you just sit there.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 they have to play more. This is not fair.
And you go through all the emotions that it's hard to replicate in any other sport,

Speaker 1 you know, other than like maybe Joe Carter's walk-off in the World Series. Like that's, there's, there's not a lot that could replicate that feeling.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 I am 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?

Speaker 9 He was just causing a scene.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, it was a crazy series.

Speaker 6 I'm happy for the Die Hard Hard 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.

Speaker 6 Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 I think we should do a part of my take handshake line.

Speaker 1 Oh, right now?

Speaker 8 Hank and Jake.

Speaker 1 Hank and Jake, yeah, please.

Speaker 8 To honor the boys and blades.

Speaker 1 Please. Let's have a handshake.

Speaker 8 Handshake line, guys.

Speaker 1 Come on. Get up.
Do it. Do it, Hank.
Give it 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.

Speaker 1 Oh, Hank took off his hat, and then Jake went in for the hug.

Speaker 8 Hank

Speaker 1 Hank shunned the hug.

Speaker 1 It's a handshake line, Jake. Well, sometimes they hug.

Speaker 1 Sometimes they hug.

Speaker 6 Going back to your guys' debate, who are the two teams that sparked it this playoff season?

Speaker 1 The Heat and the Panthers. Yeah, that's true.
Florida runs the world.

Speaker 6 South Florida Giant Killers.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they are. They are officially Giant Killers.
And FAU, yeah. And Miami final seeds.

Speaker 1 All right. So any last words, Hank?

Speaker 9 Patrice Bergeron.

Speaker 9 Honestly, it's sticking with me. It's super sad if that's his last game.
Been on the Bruins 20 years. It feels like he should have won more than one cup.

Speaker 9 He's just been so good for so long, and the fact that he's going to retire is super, super, super sad.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 Just if you're like a hockey, if you're a real puck boy.

Speaker 1 If you're just looking at the draft as well. You got one eye on the draft, one eye on the playoffs.

Speaker 8 Always. Yeah.

Speaker 9 People think it's easy being a Boston fan. It's like, it's just not.

Speaker 8 Shut the fuck up.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 that was a devastating loss. Yeah, PFT.
It was. I mean, I agree.

Speaker 8 I agree. It is devastating.
I've been there.

Speaker 1 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 has,

Speaker 1 that's the favorite to win the NBA title. But that's pressure.

Speaker 8 That's what I was saying.

Speaker 1 I know, but it is a nice, there's some nice solace in that, that you can go right to the next thing.

Speaker 9 I know, but the Sixers, man, they're.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. All right.
Well, we'll get it.

Speaker 8 You get some wiggle room. I understand that.
It's like, okay, you already lost all your margin for error. Now,

Speaker 8 if one team loses, you're done with all the playoffs.

Speaker 8 I get that's tough, 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.

Speaker 8 Since this show has existed, I've watched Patriots lose the Super Bowl.

Speaker 9 I've watched the Celtics lose

Speaker 9 NBA championship at home,

Speaker 9 and I've watched the Bruins lose game seven, and I just watched the best team

Speaker 1 of all time.

Speaker 9 Yeah, but I'm just saying,

Speaker 1 it's not easy.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think I've watched as many teams lose championships as you have.

Speaker 1 As many for six months, wait, Hank. So

Speaker 8 also, Hank, you've watched the Patriots win two Super Bowls over the Rams and 28-3, the biggest Super Bowl comeback of all time. Yeah.

Speaker 9 I was talking about the bad stuff. I didn't

Speaker 1 say. All right, so everyone, do you know, if you're listening to this right now, please say a prayer for Hank Lockwood.
Thank you. He's going through it.
I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 He's trending on Twitter right now, which is very funny.

Speaker 1 I didn't look into it, but it was 10,000 tweets. Then it just said Twitter trend Hank.
That was all. Are you sure it's not Henrik Longquist? It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter. Don't worry about it.

Speaker 1 Like I said, it doesn't. 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.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's talk some other sports. Let's talk some other game sevens.
Steph Curry put on

Speaker 1 maybe the best playoff performance he's ever had. 50 points.
Game seven against the Kings. Never been done in a Game 7 in the NBA playoffs, which is nuts.

Speaker 1 Incredible, incredible series. Incredible game from Steph.
The Warriors are marching on.

Speaker 1 I mean, that was, we're so lucky to get to watch Steph. I was thinking about it, right? Like,

Speaker 1 we had a few years ago where we had to 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.

Speaker 1 I don't posture. Like, he is an incredible

Speaker 1 player. Obviously, I mean, people are saying top 10 all time now.
I wouldn't disagree with that.

Speaker 1 But I, and I know I might be in the minority here because I think there's a lot of Warriors 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.

Speaker 8 You can't say that the refs give him calls. You can't say that he plays a cheap style of basketball.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 We've got the return of well, he already cemented it.

Speaker 1 He already had cemented it. But yeah, well,

Speaker 8 in my opinion, Big Cat, what we've got coming up right now is a legacy series.

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 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

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 And that's every single, I'm not talking about like on on aggregate. In the 2014-15 season, they were first place.
2015-16, they were first place.

Speaker 8 All the way through 2018-2019 season, they were first place in third quarter plus minus every single year.

Speaker 8 And then they dropped down because they had that injury year where Clay and stuff were both hurt.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 They were like a slightly below-average team in the third quarter. And then tonight they come out, they outscore them by 12 in the third quarter.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 1 Well, it was the other crazy thing from this game is that

Speaker 1 the second, third, and fourth leading scorers on the Warriors team were combined 12 of 44. So that's Wiggins, Clay Thompson, and Jordan Poole.
12 of 44.

Speaker 1 If you want to just do starters, Wiggins and Clay were 9 of 35.

Speaker 1 Imagine having your two, your second and third options, scoring options, go 9 for 35 in a game seven on the road and then be like, yeah, you actually comfortably won this game.

Speaker 1 Oh, because you have Steph Curry. And he basically is just a get-out-of-jail free card for anything that like could be bad that could happen to the Warriors.
Like, oh, we still have Steph Curry.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 If you

Speaker 1 didn't like the Kevin Durant Warriors, which I'm not going to argue against because

Speaker 1 it was almost unfair at times how good they were. I still loved watching them because I just love, like, the way the Warriors play basketball is fun to watch as a basketball fan.

Speaker 1 But if you were like, I hated them because of that.

Speaker 1 And taking out Hank, he's got PTSD from the Warriors we were talking about earlier.

Speaker 1 But taking out that, if the Warriors won the title this year, that would would be objectively funny that Steph would have five and KD would have two and Steph would have more without KD than with him.

Speaker 1 And it's like KD's like almost a little barnacle on Steph, the Titanic that is Steph and his career. That would be awesome.

Speaker 1 That would be fun. I agree.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 1 I also

Speaker 1 would root for that.

Speaker 1 I also should just say I'm unbiased, but I do have a future in the Warriors. But I've never really hated.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 you were watching something special. Hank disagrees with everything that's been said.

Speaker 9 No, I'm not. No, Hank's grumpy.
I'm not even listening.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 8 Yeah, he's grumpy. So I do put an asterisk on the series because Deli didn't play, and Deli's the Steph Stopper.
That's what he's got his reputation on.

Speaker 8 I would have liked to see what the Kings had done with the beam if they had won at 3.30 local time.

Speaker 1 They would have literally.

Speaker 8 Can you light the beam during the daytime?

Speaker 1 They did it for the first time that the beam ever was lit was during the daytime. They wanted to.
You want to see it during the daytime? No, no, you can't.

Speaker 1 I think the first beam lit in history was, I think they won a road game in Charlotte

Speaker 1 on like an afternoon, on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, and they lit the beam and

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You do have to figure out what's going on with Sabonis because there's nothing worse in basketball than watching a guy.

Speaker 1 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 of times.

Speaker 1 He made a couple, but he missed a few.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 they have a bright, bright future. I'm very happy.
I was afraid for a moment they were going to light the beam out of like being like, What a season. We'll always remember this season.

Speaker 1 They didn't because I was going to be like, That would have been the end of the beam.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I don't know if I'd go that far, but he had, so after the Warriors went down 0-2,

Speaker 1 he had in his 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And then the last thing, and we'll talk more about it with Dylan Brooks, but Malik Monk, I don't, I wouldn't say this was shit talk, but this was more like a quote that maybe you wish you had back

Speaker 1 after the game six win, which was shocking because I think everyone thought the Kings weren't going to be able to win in

Speaker 1 San Francisco.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 We're younger than they are. Gonna try to do the same thing Sunday.
Basically being like, these guys are old. We can do this.

Speaker 1 And you saw what a championship team looks like and a championship player more than anything in Steph Curry.

Speaker 8 Yeah, so the Kings, I think it's safe to say the future is bright in Sacramento, in Northern California in general, but especially in Sacramento because they're so young and they're fun.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 1 Correct. Right?

Speaker 8 And you remember Arvita Sabonis, great sinner 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.

Speaker 8 That might not even be the right country, but one of those Eastern European countries. And

Speaker 8 you know how he asked her to marry him?

Speaker 8 Wow.

Speaker 8 He left an engagement ring on the toilet

Speaker 8 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 blump 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 this is just like a one-time fling that i had where i kind of fell in love with them for a short time because they're 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.

Speaker 8 I told you guys about the case. No, he was right, though.

Speaker 9 I hate it when you guys say what I'm thinking.

Speaker 1 No, you were right. You were right.
I'm not going to let him gaslight you.

Speaker 9 I was wrong. I said they weren't going to win another game.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but you were right.

Speaker 9 You're gaslighting yourself by not gaslighting.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 8 seat.

Speaker 1 A little bit of clutch gene, he'll get it.

Speaker 8 It'd be so funny if he got it today because he wouldn't even really be that happy.

Speaker 8 This would actually be the perfect day he would get it.

Speaker 1 No, 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.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 9 I got an hour and 15 minutes left until Monday. Okay, all right.

Speaker 1 And then the Celtics sign. All right, so let's talk about who the Warriors are playing.
The Lakers, who demolished the the Grizzlies on Friday night.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 First time back in the playoffs, knock him out right away. That'll be a good first-round matchup for us.

Speaker 1 Got knocked out in

Speaker 1 seven games or six games. And then also during that series, he says, I don't respect anyone until they give me 40.
The Grizzlies lost by exactly 40 on Friday night.

Speaker 1 Uh, we had afterwards LeBron with some all-time uh 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.

Speaker 1 So he said, Unlike you, little swear word, bleeped out. These are rap lyrics.
Okay. Oh, these are.
I'm a grown-ass man.

Speaker 1 Big shoes to fill, grown-ass pants, probably hustle with your pops, go ask your parents. So he went, Jay-Z's song on Twitter and then on Instagram posted,

Speaker 1 if you ever see me fighting in the forest with a grizzly bear, help the bear,

Speaker 1 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 takeie,

Speaker 1 put this in the nominations, Jake.

Speaker 1 He commented on LeBron's Instagram saying, I'm pouring honey on you, goat. Illegal to kill a bear unless being attacked.
So,

Speaker 1 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 they shut the Grizzlies up.

Speaker 1 And, yeah, I mean, it's going to be an incredible, incredible series watching the Warriors versus Lakers.

Speaker 8 The real question now is,

Speaker 8 would you rather have $500,000 or have dinner with LeBron James?

Speaker 8 That's the question now. I think that LeBron is...

Speaker 8 His legacy is on the line. Let's see.

Speaker 1 Wait,

Speaker 8 why is that the question?

Speaker 1 Because Jay-Z. Oh, that's Jay-Z.
Okay.

Speaker 8 Yeah, it was a Jay-Z Larry. Got it.
But his legacy's on the line.

Speaker 8 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 awesome. As far as I'm concerned.

Speaker 1 It's going to be fucking awesome. It's every other night.
It's the only series that's playing every other night.

Speaker 1 The Lakers had five different leading scores in the series against the Grizzlies, which is pretty crazy

Speaker 1 on a team with LeBron and A.D., who I think when they won the title in the bubble year, it was just basically LeBron, AD leading scores.

Speaker 1 They went Hachimura, LeBron, AD, Austin Reeves, AD, and then D'Angelo scored 31 in game six. So,

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 I officially have retracted my statement that the Lakers aren't, they are very much live to win the title, to go deep. And now we get to see one of, like,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 8 That's why I'm a little bit upset about how the whole Scott Foster thing worked out, because we were deprived of a Scott Foster NBA-rigged moment

Speaker 8 in the Warriors game. Because it wasn't even, there were no close calls.
There was nothing that Scott did to impact that game. It was purely Steph.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 1 But yeah, I'm pumped.

Speaker 1 I'm super excited for the Lakers series against the warriors that's gonna be awesome must be tv also last thing on dylan brooks he got uh fined twenty five dollars for not doing media availability multiple times which rules he no one had a worse no one had a worse playoff performance start to finish than dylan brooks like could not have scripted worse he is a complete joke and uh like a run like i actually

Speaker 1 I think he'll have a career, but I wouldn't be shocked if his career is just over because of this, like mentally. I know that that's crazy to say, but

Speaker 1 he could not have had a worse playoffs.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 So I'd say, and also,

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 Like the healthiest that I've seen him in a long time.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's definitely gonna get hurt now.

Speaker 8 I mean, he gets hurt every game. He gets hurt every single day.
He's so healthy. He's so healthy.
At this moment, Anthony Davis is so healthy.

Speaker 1 He gets hurt every single game.

Speaker 6 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 3023 since 2017.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 which he broke because he liked Perfect Booties. Oh, really? Yeah, no, it was one of the best stories I've ever broke.
Oh, really? Yeah,

Speaker 1 he was liking Instagram pictures during the playoffs. And he liked an account perfect booties.
Yeah.

Speaker 9 That was when Instagram still showed you what other people were like.

Speaker 1 That might have been in 2015.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I think it was when it used to be such a big deal when he was

Speaker 1 shut down. It was when the Cavs or the Heat were playing the Bulls in the playoffs.

Speaker 6 Yeah. And then second, we have a little bit of Sidogami here.

Speaker 8 We have one seed represented total.

Speaker 6 So we have the

Speaker 6 number one Nuggets, number two Celtics, three Sixers.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 9 That's very cool. It's wild.

Speaker 1 It's wild.

Speaker 1 Very wild.

Speaker 6 And people are like, they should reseed. It's like opposite conferences.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, it's wild. When you tweeted that, I was like, that's fucking cool.
That's very cool. That's actually cool.

Speaker 1 It's also crazy to see the

Speaker 1 difference. Like, if I think it's like if the Knicks play

Speaker 1 the Warriors in the finals, the Knicks would have home.

Speaker 6 Well, is it by in in the finals? Is it by seed or overall record?

Speaker 1 I think it's overall record.

Speaker 1 And there was one other that was crazy. Oh, it was

Speaker 1 if the Heat played the Lakers in the finals, the Heat would have home court advantage. Yeah, that would be awesome.
Yeah, crazy. Yeah, so it has been an awesome.
I mean, we knew it going in.

Speaker 1 Like, I don't, I know that there will 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 going to be crazy.

Speaker 1 We didn't expect the Bucs to lose to the Heat, but in the West, we all thought that the

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 1 So good. And the ratings.
Dreams. Yes, ratings dreams.

Speaker 1 And we should talk about the Suns and Nuggets. The Nuggets fucking put it on them.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's really fucking good. And I don't think the Suns, another old takes to expose, I don't know what the Suns are going to do with Jokic, Jamal Murray, pick and roll.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But if you look at it, maybe I was trying to make a basketball play.

Speaker 8 Yeah, he was diving at knees out there.

Speaker 8 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 aim for his ACL and try to take him out.

Speaker 8 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 threes cooking, then we're in business.

Speaker 8 I got nothing to worry about.

Speaker 1 Yeah, all starters on the Nuggets scored double digits. Like, they're finally, this is finally the best version of the Nuggets.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And it looked like the Suns didn't have the answers for them.

Speaker 8 Yep, yep, things are everything's coming up Denver right now. I'm happy where I sit.

Speaker 1 Rado. All right, last game.
Uh,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Uh, early. Yeah, Jimmy Butler gets hurt.
Uh, and the big story was that Jimmy Butler gets hurt in,

Speaker 1 what was it, early fourth quarter? And the Knicks spent the entire fourth quarter not going after Jimmy Butler, who is clearly hobbled and standing in the corner.

Speaker 1 They put Josh Hart on him and standing in the corner being like a decoy. They were playing four on five and the heat outlasted them.
Kyle Lowry was awesome.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 8 Yeah, he had a pretty nasty sprained ankle.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 The best part of the game was in the third quarter. We got some vintage Kevin Love outlet passes.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 They were like three in a row.

Speaker 8 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 just...

Speaker 8 put him in a spot that only his own player could get and led immediately to a dunk our layup. It was so sick to watch.
He's the best in the league at that by far.

Speaker 1 I had that as a note. I was like, I just love watching Kevin Love throw outlet passes because

Speaker 1 it was no, it was just perfect. It was, they were just like perfectly timed, easy layups, full court passes.
And that was back to his UCLA days.

Speaker 1 It was like, this guy can outlet pass better than anyone. And you saw it.
Like, he it was rejuvenized.

Speaker 1 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 the rebound turnaround perfect pass in in stride for an easy layout if patrick mahomes does this the media won't shut up about it for a week jake can can we actually make a uh a 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 i bet you were talking on monday but yeah yeah definitely but we got to add to it you got it we got to update it i'm on it yeah um yeah kevin love was quarterback in the building that day

Speaker 1 That's right. Yeah.
So I thought you were going to say

Speaker 8 the Aaron Rodgers curse. His Bucs got bounced.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And I was like, yeah, this is awesome. This is real.
He's going to love it.

Speaker 8 I also loved all the clips that they showed of the old fights between the Knicks and the Heat from back in the day.

Speaker 8 Including the one where Jeff Van Gundy just wraps his entire body around Alonzo Morning's leg, like an ankle probation monitor. Yeah.
Just like strapped up, trying to hold him back.

Speaker 8 That might be the funniest sports clip of all time when Jeff Van Gundy sprints onto the court to try to break up a fight and he ends up just grabbing Alonzo Morning's shin and holding on like Winnie the Pooh trying to climb up to like a honey hive.

Speaker 1 Yeah, getting just ragdolled everywhere, and especially with his hair and just everything.

Speaker 8 It was just so perfect. Everything about it.
Yeah. So funny.

Speaker 1 So good.

Speaker 1 All right. So yeah, that

Speaker 1 I, okay. I don't want to piss off Knicks 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

Speaker 1 one series. But I'll

Speaker 1 be able to get excited. Enjoy the ride.

Speaker 8 You guys won a series.

Speaker 1 That's good. Enjoy the ride.

Speaker 8 Enjoy the ride.

Speaker 1 Enjoy the ride.

Speaker 10 I'm going to poke my head out of the whole Knicks fan when they start getting good.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 9 That's disgusting.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Pink would never do that. He wouldn't.

Speaker 8 But it was kind of like, ah, shit.

Speaker 9 Billy doesn't get it.

Speaker 1 He was saying that because he just did that with the Bruins.

Speaker 1 No, he didn't.

Speaker 1 No, yeah. It's fun.

Speaker 1 The Knicks fans.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 8 It is.

Speaker 8 And the reason why I was busted on New 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.

Speaker 8 It's very funny to see the entire city going butts after one home game win. But you guys in this series, get excited.

Speaker 1 The Knicks don't really have a history of winning.

Speaker 8 But they act like they do. Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 they don't have really a history of strong winning in New York.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 1 You know what it is, though? It's New York is a basketball city. Like

Speaker 1 New York, New Yorkers love basketball. So I think that's where it comes through, and I do appreciate that and love watching that.

Speaker 1 That part is awesome to watch where everyone rallies around the Knicks.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Like you got to win this series.

Speaker 8 You got a window. You got got a window to win right now.

Speaker 8 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.
But

Speaker 1 20 on them on Tuesday night.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Let's talk some NFL draft recap and other stuff this weekend.

Speaker 1 Okay, before we actually talk NFL draft,

Speaker 1 how are you guys both feeling, Hank and Max? We are, it's, it's D-Day.

Speaker 1 We've been looking forward to this moment for months, and we're here. We're finally here.
Sixers, Celtics, game one, Monday night.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Like, I just walk into a room, and Max is mumbling, he's got to play, and beats got to play. Um, so he's

Speaker 8 Max is so down bad. He's misreading tweets that get 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.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 They're leaking that news out there to set expectation that he's not going to play for probably at least two games.

Speaker 1 So, Max?

Speaker 1 It's fine. It's fine.

Speaker 2 It could just be, you know, wanting to catch Celtics off guard.

Speaker 2 You know? Oh, no.

Speaker 2 He was practicing today,

Speaker 2 taking some jumpers. I don't know.

Speaker 2 If he doesn't play,

Speaker 1 it's not fair.

Speaker 1 It's not fair.

Speaker 9 How much time did you spend this weekend thinking about your face being completely shaven?

Speaker 2 The sweep clause is such fucking bullshit.

Speaker 1 Just win one game. You agreed to it.
Win one game.

Speaker 2 I know I agreed to it because I have to agree to everything.

Speaker 1 No, that's not true. Yes, it is.
Facts.

Speaker 9 They try and get me to do cat pets like every day. I always just say no.

Speaker 2 Two months of a soul patch.

Speaker 1 Just put your foot down. I put my foot down with Ray Allen.
Yeah, well.

Speaker 1 That said a lot.

Speaker 8 Max, this is on the city of Philadelphia. You guys got to win one home game.

Speaker 8 You can't blame Joelle and Bi for getting swept. You guys have to pull together and win one game at home.

Speaker 9 I have a question for Max.

Speaker 9 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?

Speaker 9 Or would you rather have him when they when the three seed was already they're already locked into the three seed it didn't matter if they won or lost that game or Would you have preferred he rest and then he could have played even if it was just one more game against the Celtics in the playoffs?

Speaker 1 I don't give a fuck about the MVP.

Speaker 9 I've said that so B.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 that doesn't mean anything.

Speaker 2 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 right now?

Speaker 1 That's how it works. That's not how it fucking works.
No, that's how it works. No, it's not.
Yeah, those wear and tear on the game. So would you rather, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 There is no would you rather.

Speaker 9 Factor fishing. You've experienced fatigue in playoffs before.
Fact. Fact.

Speaker 9 So don't you think it would be smart when you're already locked into the three-seed game?

Speaker 1 It's a coincidence. It is a bad coincidence that it happens every year.
I know it happens every year.

Speaker 8 It's like how Trump thought that he thinks that 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.

Speaker 8 That's what Hank's saying for this Joelle 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 the Celtics.

Speaker 1 No, you did go off, though.

Speaker 9 That was science.

Speaker 1 You might suck if you get swept.

Speaker 8 So 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.

Speaker 1 I don't remember this at all.

Speaker 8 The Soul Patch bet has two clauses in it.

Speaker 1 No, but they're fair.

Speaker 8 I think they're fair clauses. And I think the AWOs will appreciate these clauses.
Big Cat is.

Speaker 1 PFT and I aren't even involved in this series.

Speaker 9 Yeah, but yet you're making clauses without me being in the room.

Speaker 2 The sweep bet is a one-sided bet. It is a one-sided bet, and it is complete bullshit.

Speaker 1 What is it? Usually, pretty one-sided. The Sixers are 10-point dogs tomorrow.

Speaker 1 Would you meet Max halfway and count a 4-1 Sixers win is also in the sweep clause? Yes. There it is.

Speaker 2 Deal. Okay.

Speaker 1 So there you go. I just got you an extra game.
So it's going to make a graphic for everyone for all the clauses and all the scenarios. That's a fair.

Speaker 1 So that's a fair clause that we just added.

Speaker 1 No, that's fair clause. 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.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 8 It just makes it like you're.

Speaker 1 The giggle that you get during when you're seeing these things is so sick.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 you said Title Town.

Speaker 1 I know he said that. I know he said that.

Speaker 1 You can't get upset about a sweep clause when you said Title Town.

Speaker 2 I actually immediately walked it back.

Speaker 9 Floating around the office on a cloud for the, for when Celtics blew game five and the Sixers had advanced.

Speaker 9 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 Celtics have yet to advance.
And we have.

Speaker 4 They controlled their own destiny.

Speaker 14 Yeah. All right.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, the clauses. So they're, yeah.

Speaker 1 Piety and I aren't involved in this series.

Speaker 1 We are involved in the bet with you guys, but we did point out after you walked out of the room, Hank, Piety has to go to his dad's memorial, so having a soul patch at that would probably be bad luck.

Speaker 1 So he can do the soul. If he has to do the soul patch, it's after that.
And I pointed out

Speaker 1 that

Speaker 1 I am going to have

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 9 I guess fair as well.

Speaker 1 Okay, so I will still do it if I don't get over 60 and a point, which I'm rooting for Embiid Paul to play because 16 and a half points

Speaker 1 for my guy Beeball Paul. We can do that in one game.

Speaker 2 Also,

Speaker 2 there's an Embiid clause as well.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 2 There was. There was an Embiid clause.

Speaker 1 There was? What was it?

Speaker 2 That if Embiid doesn't...

Speaker 1 He has to play two games or something.

Speaker 1 For what?

Speaker 2 Like, if he doesn't play in two games, that it doesn't count?

Speaker 1 Wait, how many players are on a basketball team?

Speaker 1 When did this clause happen?

Speaker 2 We talked can someone back me up? Does someone else remember this? I swear there was an Embiid clause.

Speaker 1 I mean if Embiid doesn't play the whole fucking series, it's bullshit. It's bullshit.

Speaker 2 Tatum shouldn't get to play.

Speaker 1 All you got to do. Okay.
Will you agree on that? Hey, no. Make sure that

Speaker 9 Tatum runs his sprints in the offseason. He's ready for these runs.

Speaker 8 Hank, will you do everything in your power to make sure that Tatum doesn't play, just in fairness?

Speaker 9 That's the clause. No.

Speaker 1 It's just, you got to win one game.

Speaker 9 Yeah, it's really simple.

Speaker 1 Win one game.

Speaker 9 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Whatever. You had confidence that you were going to win the series a month ago.

Speaker 13 A week ago.

Speaker 2 When the MVP is on the floor, you don't care about MVPs.

Speaker 2 I'm just saying, the best player in the league not playing makes a difference. Fact or fiction.

Speaker 1 I know you're doing the fucking giggle. I know you're doing it.

Speaker 1 You made me laugh. You made me laugh.
You're a funny guy.

Speaker 1 All right. So we're set.
What's the

Speaker 1 whatever.

Speaker 9 Is there even someone to blame for the injury?

Speaker 10 Like, how did it happen?

Speaker 9 Exactly.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 2 No, it's a good theory.

Speaker 2 I don't know. It's a good theory.

Speaker 1 No, it's not a theory. It's just a fact.
No, Max is like, oh, yeah, Embiid learned that he needs to fall more so that he won't get injured, yet he always gets injured. Oh, he was so healthy all year.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I was doing some research today. I just typed in Embiid online and was looking at videos and it was like, oh, here's Embiid at practice.
I was like, oh, fuck, he's at practice.

Speaker 9 He's probably playing. He was

Speaker 9 stationary.

Speaker 9 Literally, he did not move his legs, just like shooting.

Speaker 1 Like, that's something. Two shots from two feet away.
He was jumping.

Speaker 13 There was minimal air, but those feet were getting off the ground.

Speaker 1 All right, I'll say this for a full body cast putting a jump shot. I think this is a fair Embiid cause if Embiid does not play at all in this series and you get swept,

Speaker 1 you can do one month. If he does not play a single game in this series, that's fair.
I agree to that. That's fair.

Speaker 1 I think it was three. No, I just.

Speaker 2 What? Wait, actually, no, that's the same thing.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wait, 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.

Speaker 2 I think that we said that if he sits three, even if he sits three out of the five.

Speaker 1 I don't think so.

Speaker 1 I'm going to check the tapes. I'm going to check the tapes.
I'm going to check the tape because

Speaker 2 now you're making it worse.

Speaker 1 You're going to make an AI version of pardon my tapes.

Speaker 2 Two months of a soul patch.

Speaker 9 This is where the, I will say this, though, again, like.

Speaker 1 I can't wait to see you with a soul patch.

Speaker 9 The tough part about being a

Speaker 9 Boston sports fan is like the Bruins tonight give me a little less confidence. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Like I'm not going to get ahead of myself.

Speaker 2 Like two months.

Speaker 12 Like you'll get sick of my soul patch face after like a week.

Speaker 1 We'll decide. Two months.

Speaker 1 So long.

Speaker 8 There is a very real possibility that after like a week of seeing Max with a soul patch, we're just like, benefits off.

Speaker 9 No, no.

Speaker 1 We'll decide. We'll decide.
We'll all have to decide. How about me and Hank fight instead? Okay, it's you.
One thing about you.

Speaker 1 All right. NFL draft.

Speaker 1 Will Levis finally got picked. He's going to the Tennessee Titans.

Speaker 1 We also saw, I mean, it was crazy that there was, it felt like there was a lot of second-round big names that went. Where did Hennon Hooker go? I actually totally

Speaker 1 did the line.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's a good pick.

Speaker 1 We had,

Speaker 1 yeah, like

Speaker 1 we said it on Friday that we missed when the draft is all one day. Because on Saturday, you wake up and you're like, oh yeah, the draft is still going on.
This is still happening right now.

Speaker 1 But we remind everyone every year that draft grades mean absolutely nothing. They're the funniest thing.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 The one we always go back to is the 2012 Seattle Seahawks.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Pete Carroll is proving why he didn't make it to the NFL the first time.

Speaker 1 Not only was Bruce Irving 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Seattle is the only team that received an F on draft day.

Speaker 1 Their picks that year were Bruce Irvin, Bobby Wagner, Russell Wilson.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 And then Russell Wilson, obviously, like not fitting their system. They vaunted Seattle Seahawks quarterback system prior to Russell Wilson.
I think their backup at the time was,

Speaker 8 oh, it was the dude from Green Bay. Yeah.
Why is his name escaping? LSU.

Speaker 1 Now it's going to kill me.

Speaker 1 Matt. That's going to kill me.
Yeah. Matt Flynn.
Matt Flynn. Matt Flynn.
Matt Flynn. Yeah, yeah.
Matt Flynn after the flying

Speaker 1 game against the Lions.

Speaker 8 Yeah. So, so yeah, the grades mean nothing.
But I will say that on paper, Philadelphia is doing something very smart.

Speaker 8 And that's just drafting every single Georgia defensive player because they had the best defense, maybe, of all time in college football.

Speaker 8 Maybe some of those Hurricanes defense from the early 2000s were better, but that Georgia defense was so sick nasty.

Speaker 8 So they have Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, then they have Kelly Ringo, Jacoby Dean, and Jordan Davis.

Speaker 1 And they got DeAndre Swift.

Speaker 8 And they got DeAndre Swift, too. So

Speaker 8 they're building the Georgia of the North in Philadelphia, which is a smart move.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 And Bill Belichick's method of scouting players is pick the guy with the biggest ass.

Speaker 8 And so Kirby is recruiting guys with big asses. Now how he's drafting guys that Kirby has already been staring at their asses for three seasons.

Speaker 8 So the Eagles feel like that they made some good moves just by getting all those guys back.

Speaker 8 It's going to be tough for, I guess Jalen Hurts, he has a history with Georgia too as well, but just getting his ass kicked by them for a half.

Speaker 8 But I don't know. If I played for the Eagles and I wasn't Georgia Bulldog, I'd feel a little bit left out by now.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, it does feel like the Eagles won the draft again. None of this matters.
We were going to have our friend Old Takes exposed on before the draft, but obviously our schedule got pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 I think we should do a Mount Rushmore with him sometime this summer, but I was looking.

Speaker 1 He had a nice thread of post-draft grades and everything. I'll just read a couple that are prove to everyone.

Speaker 1 What I would say to anyone who's a die-hard fan of their team, just go and find the best grade you can find and just go with that because it means nothing.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But right now, in the moment, like I know everyone is trashing the Lions because, yeah, probably picking a running back at 12 is a little weird, but you don't know how they're building their roster.

Speaker 1 Like, they could work out and they could look like geniuses, just like picking Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner, Bruce Irvin worked out pretty well for the Seahawks. But here's a couple funny ones.

Speaker 1 So in 2011, the someone from uh 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.

Speaker 1 There was one that was

Speaker 1 after the Cowboys took Emmett Smith. Emmett Smith should be a solid, productive player, but he's no game breaker.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 yeah of all time

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 everything that happens after the draft is bullshit.

Speaker 1 He also included a Fox sports poll that said grade the pick. Eagles select Jalen Hurts in second round pick 53.
It was 47%

Speaker 1 voted in F. So any draft instant reaction from the draft means nothing.

Speaker 1 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's system.

Speaker 1 And that's all cliches, and that's clichés for a reason because I have no fucking idea how it will go.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 So it's like if you draft according to what I put on my big board, you're going to get a high grade. Right.

Speaker 8 And the people that are making these mock drafts are not NFL GMs for a reason because they're not that good at it.

Speaker 8 And so they're giving out awards based on how stupidly they would perform at the draft. So it's a big circle trick.
Everyone's, they're just jacking themselves off. Yeah.
I do, that being said,

Speaker 8 I do have a baby Gronk alert. 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 at Starnell Washington.

Speaker 8 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. Yes.

Speaker 1 I know he's injuries. He's knees.

Speaker 8 He's been banged up. And there was another great tight end that they had at Georgia that got caught out a shitload of touchdowns.
And he's probably going to go in the first round next year.

Speaker 8 But Darnell Washington is an absolute freak. He's 6'7, I think.
Yeah. 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.

Speaker 8 This guy's a freak.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 and his blocking is insane.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 8 Yeah, he's sick. Also, in other Georgia news, Stetson Bennett got drafted by the Rams.

Speaker 1 Fourth round. Fourth round.

Speaker 8 Congrats to Stetson.

Speaker 8 I believe his former teammate, Matt Stafford, is the current quarterback.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes. He actually, they, I think, shared a room freshman year together.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 8 The other funny thing that happened right before the second round, my guy, Jim Ursai, owner of the Colts, you still have to buy Colts season tickets.

Speaker 8 I forgot about that when the commanders officially sell.

Speaker 8 My guy, Jim Ursay, tweeted out just basically, what if we took Will Levis with our pick in the second round?

Speaker 8 After they had drafted Anthony Richardson, you have to imagine that Richardson was probably not

Speaker 8 that psyched. But listen, Ursay is going to go gremlin mode.
You have to understand the sooner you understand that, the better.

Speaker 8 If you're Anthony Richardson, you're in a very unique situation with the unique owner. And the weird thing about it was, I thought to myself, I would probably do that.

Speaker 8 I would probably take a 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.

Speaker 8 And then you can fill in the rest of the holes later. And a silver line to Will Levis, might be good that he got drafted in the second round.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 But Will Levis, since he's a second round pick,

Speaker 8 he won't be expected to start necessarily in his first year unless Ryan Tanhill gets injured. That's never happened.
But it's a better situation. Plus, you have no state income tax in Tennessee.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 So congrats to Will Levis. You made a lot of money.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And I think the Titans drafted a ton of offense this year.
So, yeah, they drafted,

Speaker 1 they actually drafted only offense. So there you go.
Running back, tight end, two tackles, wide receiver. So

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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. It's

Speaker 1 also him.

Speaker 8 Ursay also said that he would have taken him at four. The Coles would have taken him at four if Anthony Richardson was off the board.

Speaker 1 Damn, that actually is mean to say to Will Levis because he's like, damn, how much money? Ursay also, did he not say, should we do it like a Montana Young situation?

Speaker 1 Just ignoring the fact that Montana was a Hall of Famer and it won many Super Bowls before Steve Young showed up.

Speaker 8 Yeah, that doesn't matter.

Speaker 8 Big Cat, all he's saying is just, you just have to take Jim Ursai based on his vibes at the time. And his vibe was in the right place.

Speaker 8 There was, I actually have a hypothetical for you. Okay.
It's kind of like a list of ranking because Bryce Young, obviously taken first by the Panthers. The Panthers tweeted out on on Friday:

Speaker 8 we've got our guy, Bryce Young, essentially. There's a picture of him, and it said that he is one of them ones.

Speaker 8 And that's a new term. That's a new term.
And I thought that I had to update my big board and my power rankings on which one of these terms is the best. So right now I've got him, number one.

Speaker 8 I've got top two and not two, number two.

Speaker 8 I've got one of them ones, number three, goaded four, like that, five. One of one, six, different,

Speaker 8 seven, and then that dude is eight.

Speaker 1 I think difference too low.

Speaker 1 So you think differently a little higher?

Speaker 8 So maybe we can flip one

Speaker 1 different. Yeah, built different too.

Speaker 1 Like, that's, yeah, 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.

Speaker 1 Although, I guess everyone is built different, technically, like DNA-wise.

Speaker 8 We're all snowflakes, yeah.

Speaker 6 Also, one of them ones could be taken literally. There were 31 ones this year.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this year. First-round picks.
Yeah, so he is. A lot of people people aren't wearing number ones.
He's literally them ones. He's literally

Speaker 8 one of them ones.

Speaker 1 One of them ones. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Last two I want to just share from Old Tech Supposes. I forgot these two.
Just Brown's edition

Speaker 1 from Brendan Bowers.

Speaker 1 Don't know where you guys will 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.

Speaker 1 You have to just trust me on this one.

Speaker 6 Isn't that the meme like, dude, source, dude, trust me?

Speaker 1 Yeah, just trust me on this one. Trust me on this one.
So yeah, the draft is fun. We love the draft.

Speaker 1 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 say right now, you listening right now, it's your team.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And he also had the worst setup of anyone ever.

Speaker 1 They were projecting the draft on a yellow painted wall somewhere in state college for Sean Clifford's draft party, and he's on the Packers now, so I hate him.

Speaker 8 That's tough. Has there ever been a projection screen that actually delivers on what it promises to? Because I haven't seen it.

Speaker 1 It's, yeah, 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.

Speaker 1 That's one technology that I never will trust.

Speaker 8 It's never going to work. 3D technology in sports will never work.

Speaker 8 But definitely the projection screen. That is, every time I see one of those, I'm just like, like, give me a TV that's a quarter of that size in high definition.
I'll watch that every time.

Speaker 1 That I can turn up the brightness when I'm watching Game of Thrones. Like, give me that.
Yes. That's all I need.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 6 One more nugget. Yeah.

Speaker 5 Wild meter, Joey Porter.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. First pick.
Yeah, Joey Porter.

Speaker 1 On the Steelers.

Speaker 8 We called that, I think, on Thursday's show. Yeah.
Like, they had to do it.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 1 Yep. He had to do it.

Speaker 1 Oh, and also I love whenever a wide receiver QB combo gets drafted the same team. So shout out the Chargers because they got Max Duggan and Quentin Johnson.
So that's kind of cool.

Speaker 1 It's the same way. It's the same way you do it when you're drafting your fantasy team.
You're like, I'm going to draft the QB and the wide receiver from the same team.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But that doesn't matter. It's fun.

Speaker 8 Yeah. It worked for the Colts, and they got Andrew Luck and Kobe Fleener.

Speaker 1 Yeah, roommates.

Speaker 8 Oh, they've got, they know, they know each other better than they know themselves.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're boys. Um, okay.

Speaker 7 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One-made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

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

Speaker 9 Uh, my whole week.

Speaker 1 You, if you have any clutch sheen, just gonna remind you again.

Speaker 9 My who's back of the week is getting duped, fake videos. Although,

Speaker 9 I don't know if this is confirmed duped, but Travis Kelsey was at a concert.

Speaker 1 Billy got duped.

Speaker 9 Billy got duped. A lot of people did.

Speaker 9 He was at a concert. He was holding what appeared to be the Lombardi trophy.

Speaker 9 I think anyone with a brain would have noticed it was fake, but he chugged the beer off it and then spiked it as hard as he could.

Speaker 9 And some people thought it was the real Lombardi trophy instead of disrespectful.

Speaker 1 I was shaking.

Speaker 9 If it was real, it would have been... even the, you know, everyone was comparing he wants to be Gronk.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 1 Very fake. And Billy said, yeah, gonna be honest, this is disrespectful to the game.
We also had the double, the combo of

Speaker 1 people that got with the Mensa meeting, Will Compton, and Billy Football being like, this is fucked up. No, no, no.
And as soon as that happened, I was like, okay.

Speaker 10 The thing is, it was probably his personal trophy that he was given. That's still a real Lombardi.
Every player gets a replica.

Speaker 8 What do you mean, given? What do you mean, probably? That to me sounds like it wasn't.

Speaker 1 Every player gets a replica?

Speaker 10 Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 1 Really?

Speaker 10 Look, look, look, I was reading up on it. It was definitely a team-issued,

Speaker 10 like, the teams usually give out a Lombardi to each player on the team.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 There's no...

Speaker 8 I think the team gets a replica that they get to keep.

Speaker 10 No, the team gets the actual one.

Speaker 1 Right, but this wasn't the actual

Speaker 1 trophies.

Speaker 10 I don't think we know enough about the Lombardi trophies.

Speaker 1 No, we know that was not the Lombardi trophy. But do you know if it was a team-issued trophy, replica that I? What does that mean?

Speaker 10 No, no, like they give out 60 replica Lombardis of the one that they won.

Speaker 1 They do?

Speaker 1 That's what I saw from the thing. No, I don't.
Billy, I'm pretty sure. This is like

Speaker 1 from the thing.

Speaker 9 I saw it.

Speaker 10 I was doing some research, some reply, guy, reply, guy, research.

Speaker 1 Billy, pretty sure. Let's see what it is.
It goes like this.

Speaker 8 They give the team the replica trophy, and each so one gets to keep a replica trophy in their trophy case.

Speaker 1 When Clark Hunt, then

Speaker 8 there's one.

Speaker 10 Max, say what you find.

Speaker 2 It says, no, players do not all receive their own Lombardy. However, they are given a mini replica of the trophy.

Speaker 1 A mini replica. Yeah, so

Speaker 10 but I think that's what he was chugging off of. Well, Edelman didn't pick up.

Speaker 10 But there's, I'd say, still, still, if it's like, imagine, like, I don't know, just was like, growing up.

Speaker 9 That looked like an exact size trophy.

Speaker 10 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 i i we had just seen clark hunt come out it was 537 p.m that you tweeted

Speaker 10 it was saturday it was saturday after five okay okay so uh we're coming to 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 hunted just brought out so in my defense defense.

Speaker 10 But still, I know. You grew up wanting to win a Lombardi trophy.
That was aggressive towards the trophy. Gronk, like, also, Gronk's Gronk.
He runs hard.

Speaker 10 Travis Kelsey kind of avoids contact yards after the catch.

Speaker 1 Jules,

Speaker 1 you're on part of my take right now. We got a question for you.

Speaker 15 All right, let's hear it.

Speaker 1 Does every player get a replica Lombardi trophy issued by the team when you win the Super Bowl?

Speaker 15 Have to buy it.

Speaker 1 Okay, you have to buy it. But you can buy it?

Speaker 15 You can buy an actual

Speaker 15 Tiffany's trophy.

Speaker 1 Okay, because you saw the Travis Kelsey spiking it.

Speaker 1 Billy was, he didn't sleep after he saw this video. He said football is basically ruined forever.
So we were explaining to him that wasn't the real trophy, but it could be a replica that he bought.

Speaker 15 It could be a replica that he bought. And then also,

Speaker 15 does Billy know that it's a new trophy every year? It's not like the Stanley Cup or anything?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I use it. He says he knows that.

Speaker 10 I know there's 56.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he knows there's 56.

Speaker 15 Just replace it.

Speaker 1 Have you bought any of the replicas?

Speaker 15 I haven't.

Speaker 15 I didn't buy a replica trophy. I had the ring.
That was plenty enough.

Speaker 1 Yeah, do you guys buy the replicas?

Speaker 15 Some guys, I know some people that have bought it. Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.
Well, that helped a lot.

Speaker 15 Patrick Chung may have bought one.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 15 Ninkovich is a guy that probably bought one one too. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Can you still buy one?

Speaker 15 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

Speaker 15 all the football operations people are like chasing every guy before they leave to get ring size.

Speaker 15 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 pendin.

Speaker 1 Got it. Or you go buy

Speaker 15 your dad something, like, you know, a pen. There's a bunch of stuff that you can buy, and the trophies on there as well.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.
That clears it up. Thank you.
So are you, do you think football can still exist after Travis Kelsey did that?

Speaker 15 Yeah, but didn't Gronk already do that?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Gronk's Gronk

Speaker 1 dented one. But 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true. Yeah.
But so are you okay with knowing that this wasn't the real Lombardi?

Speaker 10 You know, I think it's, I think Will Compton relates because as someone that never has brains.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. Hey, hey, hey.

Speaker 10 So because like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 1 Will just saw your tweet and was like, oh, I can get numbers by jacking this tweet. Oh, he.
That's exactly what happened.

Speaker 10 Wait, wait, wait. He jacked my tweet.
When did he tweet?

Speaker 1 He tweeted after you. He jacked my tweets.

Speaker 1 The Chiefs are cursed. Jesus.

Speaker 8 He really is jacking all this stuff. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But yeah. Well, I think it was not a real.

Speaker 9 All right, here's a second question for you then, Billy. Brian Dable

Speaker 9 vaping or not?

Speaker 1 So I heard.

Speaker 9 There's a video from the war room of what appears.

Speaker 9 People online are saying Brian Dable hitting like a weed pen.

Speaker 9 What it looked like, but he was like eating a piece of beef jerky.

Speaker 10 No, 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.

Speaker 1 Do you think Brian Dable's going to bodegas?

Speaker 9 I have not noticed that.

Speaker 1 Yes. You think so? Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 10 Okay. Anyway, you go into these bodegas.
They're trying to get you to try Kratom. They're like, yo, check out these new vapes for getting horny.
And

Speaker 10 there's guys and girls won. Yeah, so he was probably getting horny during the draft.
And that's a very easy, explainable thing.

Speaker 9 I thought it was. Again, I watched both the videos.

Speaker 9 No, he was eating something.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Someone sees it online. It's like, oh, look at Brian Dable hitting a weed pen.

Speaker 9 It's funny to imagine him hitting a weed pen in the draft room, but there's a 0.0% chance he was.

Speaker 1 McDaniels was 100% stoned. I'm okay with that one.
Dude,

Speaker 10 some guys smoke weed and it helps them focus. I don't know.

Speaker 9 I don't think NFL coaches are those people.

Speaker 10 Well, Mike McDaniels he thinks the new breed.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Yeah. But you got to be careful, Billy.
Just a little bit of coaching. When you say 100%, that means 100%.

Speaker 1 Listen.

Speaker 1 Come on. Bill is just shooting tweets off.
We won't even talk about his Katrina tweet.

Speaker 1 Okay, for the amount of 9-11 jokes there are, New Orleans can deal with one Will Levis levy tweet.

Speaker 1 Like, come on. What was it, tweet?

Speaker 10 Something about when you can't stop the rush, you can't have a levy in New Orleans.

Speaker 9 It was, yeah.

Speaker 1 It was, I mean, I had no problem with it. Yeah.
But there were some people who had.

Speaker 10 If PFT did it, it would have done numbers.

Speaker 8 Yeah. Oh, here we go.

Speaker 8 I would never have done that joke. Not because of the distastefulness, because it didn't even work with Levis and Levi's and Levy's.

Speaker 10 It's close enough, though.

Speaker 1 He had to edit it, too.

Speaker 1 This is what Billy does.

Speaker 1 He edits it.

Speaker 1 When Billy gets in the middle of the day,

Speaker 14 he's like, no, Will Compton did it.

Speaker 8 No, PFT would have done it. If he had done it, if this would have have happened, if things would have happened completely differently.

Speaker 8 People would have reacted completely differently.

Speaker 10 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 feature and be like, oh, that's what it means.

Speaker 1 Listen, Billy, I had your back.

Speaker 1 I think that there is selective outrage online that you just got to ignore.

Speaker 10 I mean, I got outraged by the...

Speaker 8 Freaking trophy gain slammed.

Speaker 1 Well, that was just stupid. I mean, I responded.
I was like, I'm shaking. Because I saw it and I was shaking.

Speaker 10 I just, I really, it kind of pissed me off.

Speaker 8 At least you didn't post it on any main social accounts, right?

Speaker 1 Who?

Speaker 8 We didn't post it on anything, right?

Speaker 5 No, we did. Oh, memes did.

Speaker 1 Oh. Yeah.
I mean, Travis Kelsey. I mean,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Travis Kelsey will take that for him.

Speaker 9 I have one other one. Someone else might have this, so if you do, feel free to speak up.
But

Speaker 9 Feel Good Stories was was my other one drew maggie

Speaker 9 pirates player yes 33 years old in the 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 a another at bat in the ninth uh hit a double and then i was reading an article that said that's probably gonna be the only game he plays dude he's batting 500 keep him up that's crazy that yeah also feel good story the chiefs fan who got to present a pick was it what's his name?

Speaker 1 Who goes?

Speaker 1 James Drows. James Drowse.
Yeah, that was.

Speaker 1 He's the what happened kid. Yes, that was an awesome, awesome moment.
That's like, those are the sports moments. You're like, this is why I fucking watch sports and go through all this pain

Speaker 1 because of moments like this. This is cool.

Speaker 9 That was meme saying something that I have no idea what the what happened thing.

Speaker 1 I know who he's talking about. Yeah.
Yep. There we go.
Score one for me. I need to come back after the Jay-Z Heatler.
Boston Bruins. What happened?

Speaker 1 You just got meat in real life. Damn.

Speaker 1 All right, PFT, you're who's back.

Speaker 1 My who's back is a bit of a mess. That was Max.
Did it sooner? Max, Max. Use that confidence for the series.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, the Sixers are going to win. I think Tobias Harris goes off for 30 tomorrow.

Speaker 1 Okay, there we go.

Speaker 1 What about Sportsbook? 76ers.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 But I always love that day where we get officially

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 1 Maybe...

Speaker 8 No, wait, sorry, 11 and 6 or 10 and 7 next year. Or if you're a Stuff that you look at.

Speaker 1 If you're a Stu Finer, everyone's going to go, what do you have, like 10 and 7? Everyone going 10 and 7?

Speaker 8 Yeah, it could happen. You never know.

Speaker 8 So I also, when I see this come out, 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

Speaker 8 I'm going to put my pin in this one. I think it's going to be the Eagles and the Jets.

Speaker 1 Ooh, okay.

Speaker 8 To start the season. Either that or Chiefs, Cowboys.

Speaker 9 It's always the winner.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's usually the winner.

Speaker 8 Okay, so in that case.

Speaker 6 I think the Chiefs play the Eagles next year.

Speaker 1 Yes,

Speaker 1 it could be a rematch.

Speaker 8 I think it's going to be Chiefs, Cowboys, then.

Speaker 1 It's May 11th. May 11th, I think, is the official date that they set.
So get ready.

Speaker 8 I can't wait. My other who's back is

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 defenders against the Arlington Renegades. I think that's what they are.

Speaker 9 I don't think they're Dallas anymore.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 Pretty pumped about that.

Speaker 1 I'm looking at it right now. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Excited for you, PFT. XFL.

Speaker 1 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...

Speaker 1 They play the Eagles, the Bengals, and the Bills at home. So it could be any of those three games.

Speaker 1 So if it has to be,

Speaker 8 if it's not going to be the Chiefs, is there any chance it could be Bills Bengals, the Prayers for Tomorrow game?

Speaker 1 I think it has to be Chiefs. They don't play the Cowboys, by the way.
The Chiefs do not play the Cowboys. I thought they did.

Speaker 1 They do not. They're playing the NFC North

Speaker 1 and the Eagles because it's 17 games. So, that's the only other NFC team they're playing.

Speaker 1 So, we'll see.

Speaker 1 I think it's going to be probably Bills, right?

Speaker 8 I would guess Bills Bills or the Eagles. The Bills would be electric.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 Because the Eagles have all the hype now from the offseason.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true. Hopefully the field is in good shape so Max can't cry about it again.

Speaker 1 Well, obviously they wouldn't be playing in Phoenix. No, but they would be playing in Kansas City and the Sod Father might come back just to fuck over the Eagles one more time.

Speaker 1 Maybe.

Speaker 1 Now you're thinking about it, right?

Speaker 2 Now you're thinking about it.

Speaker 1 I'm just thinking about tomorrow night. Okay.
Tonight. Tonight.

Speaker 1 All right, My Who's Back.

Speaker 1 It was also going to be Billy's video with Travis Kelsey. So I'll just say My Who's Back is me being old because I missed the Jay-Z lyrics.
So, yeah, if those,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 8 I didn't recognize it was a Jay-Z lyric right away.

Speaker 9 I just could tell from the way he wrote it that he wasn't original enough to

Speaker 1 make it himself, so I knew it was a lyric. I like Jay-Z.
I don't know his lyrics by heart. PFT, though, I

Speaker 1 I want to say something scary that I just throw it out there.

Speaker 1 We're both about to be 38 and a half. I feel like we now have to start looking at what's coming up.
Fuck. Yeah.
What? 40. 40? Yeah, we're rounding the corner.

Speaker 1 Like, I didn't think I'd start thinking about it until I turned 39, but I started thinking about it this past weekend, and I was like, fuck, man.

Speaker 1 Fuck.

Speaker 8 You know what happens when you're 40?

Speaker 1 Yeah, you get your

Speaker 8 butt butt appointment.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure they can do that exam now with like a laser. Okay, well.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 If you have a buddy. We'll do it for PMTV.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we'll do it.

Speaker 8 Yeah, we'll put it on YouTube. We might even make a trip out of it.
Like, guys, trip.

Speaker 1 It's perfect. We're going to do it.
We'll do it the same day. 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.

Speaker 10 My who's back is classical music.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 10 Might not sound like the most sexy thing, but apparently at the LA Philharmonic, a woman had an orgasm in the middle of Schachowski's Fifth Symphony.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 10 Yeah, but it's on, like, apparently all these like

Speaker 10 orchestra nerds start tweeting about it, like, and they have it on.

Speaker 9 It's funny.

Speaker 10 Yeah, they have it on an audiophile. It's actually really funny.
I don't know how that happened scientifically.

Speaker 9 Just redescribe the sound.

Speaker 10 It was a full body. Yeah, do it.

Speaker 5 Show us.

Speaker 1 Here, I can play it.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. Do a remix.
A remix. No, do a Billy Florida.
I want to remember.

Speaker 5 I can't.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1 Oh, by the way, talking to me.

Speaker 8 I'm not sure what the brown noise is.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's awesome. That's awesome.
Yeah. I don't know how that happens.

Speaker 10 Apparently, it was very moving.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 8 The G-string vibration in that high stage.

Speaker 1 Oh, I forgot one other thing for my who's back.

Speaker 1 The games in Mexico this weekend fucking ruled. I went for a legacy bet today.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 20.5 today.
I was like, let's do it. They didn't even come close.

Speaker 1 But they should play. Every team should have to play a series in Mexico City because it was awesome.

Speaker 8 And then we bet the Mexicover. Yeah,

Speaker 8 every single one of those. I like the sombreros that they brought out.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 8 The Padres' uniforms were sick. So sick.
I love those. Like the neon colors.
Yeah, the City Connect. Mexico City sneaky high.

Speaker 1 Yes, very high. All right, Jake.
Finish this off.

Speaker 6 My Who's Back is Dodgeball.

Speaker 1 Oh. They're making a sequel with Vince Vaughan.
Oh.

Speaker 6 So,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 9 Anchorman 2.

Speaker 9 Disappointment. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I know. It could flop, but like the excitement if it happened.

Speaker 1 We're all going to watch it. Yeah.

Speaker 9 And if And Command 2 was a big letdown.

Speaker 8 Just listened to Trey Wingo's podcast in 10 years. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wayne's World 2 was the original letdown of those type of movies.

Speaker 9 Because they're just so good. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But I think having the original letter.

Speaker 9 That is a perfect movie. Yeah.

Speaker 1 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 what we'll do in the new office, we'll do a little dodgeball. Make it dodgeball week.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Whoever's making this movie, do a fucking ad deal with us.
That is perfect. We will play dodgeball.

Speaker 1 20th century studios that would actually be awesome if we played dodgeball but like the game was live for the entire week

Speaker 1 so you could just peg people in the fucking face 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 they play cheap and they like put their head into it.

Speaker 9 That always sucks.

Speaker 1 Also, the balls aren't fucking soccer balls.

Speaker 1 They're soft. No, were you guys playing in the rubber ball era or the foam ball? Latex.

Speaker 9 We didn't give a fuck about latex allergies. Dude, I played it.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 14 Yeah, go right for them.

Speaker 8 I got 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 like a fight in fourth grade.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 It doesn't look like that.

Speaker 1 That's that's like targeting when they slow it down. It's like, well, the guy had nowhere to go.

Speaker 8 I was going full speed out there. It's real easy to see with the benefit of instant replay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 Okay, should we get to busting with the boys in studio?

Speaker 1 PFT, you got a couple ads, and then we will get to busting the boys in studio.

Speaker 16 Man, I'll tell you what, when you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 16 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.
Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 16 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this: Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 16 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on very special guests, good friends of ours, colleagues. it is Will Compton and Taylor Luan busting with the boys in studio.
Hello, boys. What are you going to do?

Speaker 1 You're going to clap? Yeah. Yeah, clap it up.
Clap it up for yourself. Clap it up for yourself.

Speaker 1 Okay, so we're taping this hours before the NFL draft. Hours.
We're going to run this on Monday. Let's start, though.
Taylor, I want to hear, well, Will as well, your draft memories.

Speaker 1 You got picked, what was it, 11th? The 11th overall. 11th overall.

Speaker 1 Did you go to the draft?

Speaker 4 Yes, I was in Radio City.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So he already, there was no like anticipation of 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?

Speaker 1 How, when can you go? How late can you go?

Speaker 4 All that stuff. They told me like the earliest I could go is two because

Speaker 4 the Rams had two picks. They had a number two pick and the 13th pick.
And they ended up taking Greg Robinson, who's now in prison.

Speaker 1 Oh, win for Taylor.

Speaker 4 So dubbed for me. But to go back to like my draft

Speaker 4 night, I'd have to go back to the Monday before that Thursday night draft. That Monday, the Atlanta Falcons flew to my house

Speaker 4 in Arizona where I was staying. And they said, hey, if you're there at six, have your bags packed.
Be ready. And I'm thinking to myself, I will be there at six.

Speaker 1 Now, who was this? Who came to your house? Dan Quinn?

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 The guy literally, they had a jet that came down to my house and

Speaker 4 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?

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 And the phone starts ringing. And it's two tables down and it's Jake Matthews.
And I was fucking, I was hot.

Speaker 4 I was hot for that and another reason that happened on the red carpet, but for the sake of time.

Speaker 1 What happened on the red carpet?

Speaker 4 It was Mother's Day. It was Mother's Day weekend.
And so they wanted everybody with their mothers to walk down the red carpet. So my mom

Speaker 4 gets all dressed up. All the other moms are wearing their Sunday dress.
My mom is wearing a

Speaker 4 shirt with cleavage, all of the cleavage showing. I'm gonna look it up, right?

Speaker 1 And so I'm wearing... I might have had a tweet.
Yeah, maybe.

Speaker 4 Okay. But

Speaker 4 we do the red carpet. I'm feeling myself.
I'm in a nice tan suit. I got the black color on on there.
I'm literally, this is the best I've ever felt in my entire life as far as looks go.

Speaker 4 And I get to the green room, I pull open the bird, and it's just constant tweets of, hey, I want your mom to sit on my face.

Speaker 1 She looks good. I'm looking at it right now.

Speaker 8 She looks good. She knew what she was doing.

Speaker 4 She knew exactly what she was doing. She was single at the time, too.
I think newly single. So she was ready to find a suitor.
But so I had to deal with that. So that's a little bit of adversity.

Speaker 4 Six came along, big time adversity.

Speaker 1 I ended up leaving. She got the cross in there, too.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 She doesn't even go to church.

Speaker 4 She's not doing inside. She doesn't even go to church.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah.
If anything else,

Speaker 1 she was doing her thing. She was doing her thing.
It was her drive night, too. She was doing her thing.
She was resting in between the two chiefs there. She gave birth to you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's her night. Yes.

Speaker 4 And so

Speaker 4 I ended up getting pick 11, and I was really upset at the time because I thought, there's no way I'm going to fucking play, dude. Michael Ruse was there.
Michael Orr was there.

Speaker 4 They just signed Michael Orr with a four-year deal. So I didn't really know what to think.
And then obviously... Things ended up working out.
Yeah. And so it's all good.

Speaker 8 You think that maybe if you had a more heartwarming story of high school, like maybe if 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.

Speaker 9 You would have gotten drafted instead of Michael Orr?

Speaker 1 Wait, PFT. What? That kind of did happen.
That kind of did happen.

Speaker 1 He did actually. I had a little

Speaker 1 family

Speaker 1 in high school. In high school.

Speaker 1 I mean, when you started that, I was like, I know he's doing Michael Orr. I don't know.
I know. I know

Speaker 1 your ass are.

Speaker 8 All right, so that's my bad.

Speaker 1 Hand up. It's all good.

Speaker 1 If that's just journalism, you should have just done your homework.

Speaker 5 But since he's one of the shades, shades, I couldn't tell.

Speaker 1 No, I knew. I knew right away.
I knew that he didn't know.

Speaker 8 Why didn't Disney make a movie out of you?

Speaker 4 It's a good question. That is a good question.
White.

Speaker 5 There's enough.

Speaker 1 There's enough movies in white. I was thinking it was just.
There was Will Compton there who said that? Will Compton? Will Compton Will Compton? Or like Will Bel Air.

Speaker 4 Billy, you saw Billy was shaking his head like, absolutely.

Speaker 1 As soon as he answered the question.

Speaker 1 But I mean, so after you get drafted, do you just go straight to a party?

Speaker 4 Yeah, I went to my hotel room.

Speaker 4 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

Speaker 4 that early no that's funny and then i was like c35 on a southwest flight from like la guardia to bna they didn't put you on the no damn titans weren't rocking with those kinds of funds just yet 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

Speaker 8 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 is drafted around you. I'm going through the top 10.

Speaker 8 Clowny, I would, that's like a toss-up to me. You were clowny, right? Yeah.
Greg Robinson, I take you over him. As you mentioned, he's in prison.

Speaker 8 Blake Bortles, that was the correct pick to the Jaguars. Seal.
Absolutely fleeced. They fleeced the entire draft.

Speaker 4 Blake has one of the best interviews of all time with that woman. He's like, what would you be doing? She's named.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Sophie Juliet.
Sophie, yeah, her.

Speaker 4 Yeah. And him saying he wakes up in the morning, takes a piss, or you'll be doing construction and smoking cigarettes.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I remember 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?

Speaker 4 Yeah. Just on, I think that's what the move.

Speaker 4 I think that's what a lot of people are doing is like kind of just like sitting there and they're going to be like 15 years down the road and be like, ah, I'm not.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And he said, he's like, yeah, a bunch of teams reached out during training camp and he just told his agent, like, no, I think I'm retired.

Speaker 4 And he just retired.

Speaker 1 Just never signed the papers no he signed the papers he didn't tell anyone that's so funny

Speaker 4 that's so funny that's perfect

Speaker 5 you had overall a 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 had some folks over yeah it went about like anybody else sitting at home watching the draft uh 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 like you know nothing's probably going to happen you're hopeful yeah wait you're hopeful in day three.

Speaker 5 Did you say that?

Speaker 5 At the time, I was going into it on NFL Draft Scout. I think I was, I believe, I was a fifth-round pick to PFA, preferred free agent.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 5 So you're hopeful that

Speaker 5 you're going to get picked up in the fifth, sixth round.

Speaker 5 Once it gets to the seventh, you know, everybody is, there's like 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.

Speaker 5 Right.

Speaker 5 And mine, I want to say mine was out of Chicago, Washington, and Tampa. But

Speaker 5 then 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.

Speaker 5 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.

Speaker 5 Like, man, if I was like in the same locker room as Levante, that would be sick.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 5 And then he, yeah, and then he calls and he's like, oh, you're going to be a Washington Redskin. I was like, fuck, where is Washington?

Speaker 5 Oh, it's in D.C., not the state of Washington.

Speaker 8 The capital of the DC.

Speaker 1 Marshawn Lynch. Marshawn Lynch thought he was going to New York City when he went to Buffalo.

Speaker 1 All right. So,

Speaker 1 honest question, well, 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.
Like, fifth round, sixth round?

Speaker 1 Because that's got to, that has to suck. Did you have a party? You'd have a party.
Well, it's like,

Speaker 5 and where I'm from, you're always having, like, our family's always having like a barbecue, a get-together. So there's, there was people over.
There was people over. We can call it a party.

Speaker 5 There was a number of people there. Multiple people were sitting grilling.
My old man's grilling. We're kind of watching it at one of my boys' basements.

Speaker 1 Dad's there, Monarchs.

Speaker 5 Your dad's a legend. 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.

Speaker 5 But yeah, there were a few times, literally day one, the Chargers called me.

Speaker 1 What? That's like a prank.

Speaker 1 That's a prank.

Speaker 5 They call 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.

Speaker 1 I was like, hang on, no, this is a different area code right here.

Speaker 1 Hey, what's up? This is Will.

Speaker 5 You got the right number. And they talked about liking me.

Speaker 1 I don't think for the high rounds.

Speaker 5 I think a lot of teams, they start doing their recruiting early.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 5 But they, like the first pick in the second round was charges. They ended up getting me in Titayo.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 5 So then that one kind of goes off. And then there's, you know, you see like

Speaker 5 you start seeing guys that you feel like you're in the crowd with and picked up. Yeah.
And guys that you think you're better than go in like the seventh round. You're like, fuck me, man.

Speaker 5 Like, maybe I'm not who I think I am. But so, yeah, there was definitely bitterness when you're when the draft ends and you're like, well, fuck, I guess.

Speaker 4 Imposter syndrome is a real thing in the NFL. Yeah.
Yeah. You really believe that.

Speaker 4 Didn't uh well we were talking about this in 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 then you can kind of pick best case like best situation for yourself.

Speaker 1 So Will, did you

Speaker 1 was there any moment when you're sitting there with Everett? 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?

Speaker 1 Are you going to get it? Because I always think like those moments are just like, get out of here. Like you're a second cousin.
Get the fuck out of here.

Speaker 5 think my uncle, my uncle Chris, he would just fucking ask, hey, you know, who's that from?

Speaker 1 Who's that text from?

Speaker 1 And then he's just like, yo, shut the fuck up, man.

Speaker 5 I want to get drafted too. Trust me.
I don't want to see my name run down on the ticket. That's exactly.
That's like the, yeah. You like, you want it more than anything.

Speaker 5 And then when it doesn't happen, you're like, motherfucker, bro.

Speaker 8 Are you on the phone with the Chargers? And are people at the party at the cookout looking over at you?

Speaker 5 No, no, no. This is the, since day three is on Saturday, like the 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.

Speaker 1 Like, fucking. It's a good day.
Yeah, I made a couple vines.

Speaker 5 Like, I'm watching the first round like everybody else. Seeing who goes.
Like, that was the draft. I think Alec Gogletree was in.
You're hoping backers go in the first round.

Speaker 5 So that way you're like fucking moving up the list. Right.

Speaker 5 So

Speaker 5 there was no party on day one or day two.

Speaker 1 Okay, so let's rip the bandaid off. Tough question.

Speaker 1 If the Big Ten Championship game goes different, do you think you get drafted?

Speaker 5 I don't know, man.

Speaker 1 Because that was that year.

Speaker 5 You know what I think goes different for me on getting drafted? I think if we didn't run, because Coach Bo,

Speaker 5 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.

Speaker 5 I feel like if I was in a system where I was spot-dropping a little bit more versus trying to cover some of these motherfuckers one-on-one, maybe, but who knows?

Speaker 5 But if I play that game, I think like I don't learn offense, defensive terminology, schematics the way I did learning under Bopolini. Because I feel like he's a mastermind at that stuff.

Speaker 8 Yeah, we've talked to Will before about like the moment that he realized that coming in as an undrafted free agent, like I can actually do this. I feel like I can fit in.
I can hold my own.

Speaker 8 Taylor, on your side, was there ever a moment, speaking of like imposter syndrome, where you come in, first-round pick, highly touted, and you start to get to work and you have like a little bit of doubt.

Speaker 8 like, oh, shit, this is way harder than I thought it would be. I don't know if I can do this.

Speaker 4 I don't know if it was like anything like way harder than I thought it'd be, but the imposter syndrome of like coming in, like I legit thought my first training camp, I might get cut.

Speaker 4 And I had to like go

Speaker 4 which is wild because as a first-round pick, like 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?

Speaker 4 Like, you think I'm going to move the team or what? And he'd like laugh in my face.

Speaker 4 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?

Speaker 1 As they think I am.

Speaker 4 And so you're all, it's a, it's a constant mental battle that you're always dealing with.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 What, 11, Will? Yeah, I think we're going up. What am I? You're in year 11? 10.2.
10.2, 11.

Speaker 1 9 for you? Yes. So Will did actually beat you.
Yes. Okay.
If we're talking technical terms? Well, you are retired.

Speaker 4 Huh? So you're retired. As of right now, he's beating me.

Speaker 1 Okay, all right. Got it.
That was close. That was close.
He almost let one loose. Thank you.
God.

Speaker 1 I appreciate you catching me. Yeah, no, no, I got you.
That was you. Taylor's still fielding calls.
We don't know what's going to happen. Yeah, we don't know.

Speaker 1 Okay, so yeah, tonight you might get called. We're going to redraft you.
That'd be insane.

Speaker 8 Could you get redrafted if you were like, if you were super old, didn't have a contract?

Speaker 1 How does that work?

Speaker 5 Can you get drafted if you were never drafted? Like, could I still get drafted?

Speaker 1 Oh, that would be sad. That's a good fucking question.

Speaker 1 My question was, so these guys all get in the facility, they start OTAs and everything.

Speaker 1 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 was like we fucked up?

Speaker 4 I think it depends. It depends on the position.
Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 So tell me which positions exist in the middle of the day.

Speaker 4 Offensive line, offensive line, defensive line,

Speaker 4 linebacker.

Speaker 4 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, doing drills.

Speaker 1 But as soon as pads come on, you could tell almost almost anything.

Speaker 4 In the first three, four days, you're going to figure out who's going to be.

Speaker 1 Will looks way better outside of underwear. Well,

Speaker 4 yeah, no, I would say Will.

Speaker 1 Yeah, not where we're going.

Speaker 4 Will has always been a neck up guy.

Speaker 8 When Will's wearing anything except for underwear, he looks way better.

Speaker 1 So, what do we say about Will's? Ankles down, neck up. Ankles down.

Speaker 5 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.

Speaker 5 That offseason, I go in for exit, for the exit meeting. And

Speaker 5 my coach, Coach KO, Kirk Olivadatti, 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.

Speaker 5 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.

Speaker 5 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.

Speaker 5 And you're going to have every opportunity to do it. But don't be surprised if we we end up drafting somebody oh that's what but

Speaker 8 this guy is so strong dude he should have switched it he should have switched it where he's like hey we'll probably draft somebody and then you're gonna beat this guy yeah just to not go in on him just being like oh and we're probably still gonna draft somebody uh 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 mtas next year 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.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 like the fact that you can figure out someone is a guy right away almost, right?

Speaker 1 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 and have it like, did you ever get leaned on for

Speaker 5 like draft meetings?

Speaker 1 Yeah, draft visits?

Speaker 1 Not all the way to russell wilson who said that he watched every piece of tape for every quarterback ever in like two hours uh 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 will you that ever happen i don't think i was ever in that position of drafting or like do you think that should happen is a better question i don't think i don't think vets care unless you're like the quarterback like hey payton manning like come in here what do you think of of this?

Speaker 4 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? Yeah.

Speaker 4 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. Right.
But I've never been asked to sit and watch film with somebody.

Speaker 1 Okay. Do you think it would work or no?

Speaker 4 It depends on the individual. 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 now.

Speaker 1 And can like watch tape and be like, yep, that guy can help us.

Speaker 4 He's like, good Ben, it does this, blah, blah, blah, blah. Teachable skills.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because I guess what it really comes down to is a lot of guys who are playing right right now in the NFL will end up being scouts,

Speaker 1 front office guys. Why not take advantage of that right now?

Speaker 5 Because maybe the player doesn't care to give their honest opinion because what if it's a position of

Speaker 8 a friend that plays that position? Yeah.

Speaker 1 And they're trying to play.

Speaker 5 I think it happens more with like veterans and free agency. Like, hey, if a coach is like, hey, I saw on this team with him, what's he like in the locker room? Stuff like that.

Speaker 1 Right. That makes sense.

Speaker 5 It's never like a never like a film thing.

Speaker 1 That makes sense.

Speaker 5 Hey, Will, what do you think of this linebacker? You know, I don't think he's got to step on me or anything like that.

Speaker 1 I'm just like a more brain power.

Speaker 1 It's just kind of dumb but more brain power you know like just get as many you know opinion I guess that would probably also hurt you because you're in the war room and you have like 70 opinions on one guy probably paralysis by analysis right 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 Robinson about that all the time like every draft I'd be like John can I just like sit in there the first round and he'd just cleanly tell me no yeah that 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 you would definitely like the guy they wanted went the pick before and you would be like didn't we want him yeah

Speaker 1 oh

Speaker 1 isn't that the guy we wanted yeah didn't we want justin jefferson yeah damn or they'd be calling yeah they'd be calling the guy on the phone and big cat would just be like sorry yeah we we were going to get the guy but he got picked before you're really excited about you yeah well you're fine yeah second choices workout or just rat out the like the oc the offensive coordinator like hey coach i thought you liked that guy yeah yeah yeah he didn't want you but i did just telling me you wanted him over him.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Didn't you tell me you didn't want this guy? Yeah. That he sucked.

Speaker 8 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?

Speaker 5 It's 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 That probably, for your brain, that would be confusing. But would it not be like, like, hey, we're, we're.
He's a neckup guy. He's a nickup guy.
I'm just going going to call you comp. Yeah, comp.

Speaker 1 That's a good nickname. Yeah.

Speaker 8 But tell you, you ended up going to Tennessee, no state income tax. That's kind of nice.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's a dub you don't realize you're getting. Yeah.
At the time. Like me being a general studies major, I never really thought about finances or anything like that.

Speaker 4 I just thought, oh, bags are coming my way.

Speaker 4 And then you start to realize that first tax season, you're like, holy shit, we had a huge win here.

Speaker 8 Yeah, so you get your first paychecks and your life changes because you're now extremely wealthy. You're a young guy.

Speaker 8 Did you have like a finance dude ready to go or were you just like just

Speaker 4 direct deposit and I was ready to rip right away. I got all that stuff taken care of before.

Speaker 8 Did you buy anything cool?

Speaker 4 I bought a van's backpack. It had a bunch of quail on it.
It was like on sale for like $12.99. I remember that being my first purchase.

Speaker 8 My bank was a dummy on East Bay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, crazy.

Speaker 4 But 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.

Speaker 4 And my bank account, my Bank of America, America bank account had $12.50 in it. And I would check it after every single practice.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 I remember going to the movie, hot dogs, not eating crazy. And I get back on the bus to go back.
And like, all of a sudden, the things looking like a phone number.

Speaker 4 And I was like, there was a guy next to me who like legit was like, because I got drafted was probably going to get cut. Like one of those tackles.
He actually wore 77.

Speaker 4 They just took it from him and gave it to me. And I was like, bro, check this out.

Speaker 4 I was just hype about the situation. I was so excited.

Speaker 4 Never seen that. Never even didn't know that kind of shit existed.
And then all of a sudden it was there.

Speaker 1 It was fucking wild. I bet you 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.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I mean, it's this is going to, I guess, sound dumb, but also like my first practice squad check was $12,500.

Speaker 1 That's pretty sick. And I was like, yo,

Speaker 1 this is not a bad life. That's one fan's backpack.

Speaker 1 It's a lot of fans backpack.

Speaker 5 Like my first big purchase, I was driving a, it was always funny. The boys always chirped me for it, but I would drive this little Hyundai Sonata.
And like Trent Williams always had like the fucking.

Speaker 4 He had that shit.

Speaker 5 He had just a fleet of different vehicles he'd drive in.

Speaker 1 That's like he uses like cars like shoes. Like every day, it's a different car.

Speaker 4 Matches outfit type stuff.

Speaker 1 Yeah. God, that's so cool.
That would be so awesome.

Speaker 4 Didn't you get body bags for like the suits you were wearing? Because you went to like

Speaker 4 Joseph A. Bank got like buy one.

Speaker 5 Yeah, so at the end of my Peace Squad year, I got active for one game, the final game. So I got to travel.

Speaker 5 And so, you know, know, your boy Wayne coughed something.

Speaker 5 Was it

Speaker 5 Joseph A. Banks? Joseph A.
Banks.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Your boy Wayne cough something at Joseph.
A little two for one.

Speaker 1 If you haven't gotten to Joseph A. Banks, and like you haven't been, you know, when you get the first Joseph A.
Banks, you're like, you get two suits for $500? Yeah. That's sick.
Mandita? Yeah.

Speaker 5 And another rookie, I went with another rookie. We went and shopped because we were both active for that game.
We're like, let's go buy something. We went to Joseph A.

Speaker 5 Bank, and right when we walked on the flight, man, like, look at these two boys. They look like two mannequins right on the store.

Speaker 5 You guys just say, hey, we want that one to put it on us?

Speaker 1 That is the problem with Joseph A. Bank is you buy it, and then everyone who's got a really, really nice

Speaker 1 custom suit, they know. Yeah, they know you're wearing Joseph A.
Bank. That's a Joseph A.
I'm like, damn, is it really like that? I thought I'm looking nice.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Did they let you keep your jersey after that game? The first game that you were active?

Speaker 5 It's actually here, yes. Oh, it is here.
In this office? Yeah, it's not in this office, but in my bag out there

Speaker 5 for the Washington pick.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 5 number 53.

Speaker 5 that was my number 53 was my first game worn jersey because i've heard that they they charge you for it sometimes if you give it away every time they do i found the 53 one two years ago this uh uh press preston he's this guy who collects jerseys big tennessee titans fan but he found mine on that there's like some you know 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.

Speaker 5 He's like, can I get one of your Titans jerseys? I was like, yeah, I can do that.

Speaker 8 I 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 the sweetest in like when you look at yourself before the game do a little thirst trap yeah

Speaker 1 raiders

Speaker 5 raiders is number one raiders raiders 51 raiders 57.

Speaker 5 then i think it's practice squad i think it's

Speaker 5 Titans all Navy. Yeah.
Titans Navy. And I would say 51, then 53.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I'd say Washington, the Redskins were last. I always kind of hated

Speaker 5 our uniforms. The mustard pants.
I was never a fan of them. Because we'd always have

Speaker 5 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

Speaker 5 swagging out and stuff before games. I was just always so tunnel vision.
Like, man, I hope I fucking play good.

Speaker 1 What about Falcons for that

Speaker 1 tryout? You look good on that. Except for the couple balls you dropped.

Speaker 5 The hard part.

Speaker 1 You did drop a couple balls.

Speaker 1 I dropped one ball and sales no it's did they loop it back yeah he looped it that's a loop that was so arthur texting me in pft a video of will cockton hey dropping a ball in a tryout guys

Speaker 5 guys is arthur not a boy or what's that he's a boy yes the best legit we're in this we can talk about it we're in this group chat 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 yeah he's like well i I mean, we were, let's, we were doing him a favor.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we were helping out a friend.

Speaker 8 You know how I told him, I was telling him his chin is you know how awful. I talked to you about like being honest with people.
Yeah, we were just being honest,

Speaker 1 that's what I was saying. Like, we were making sure that, like, get ahead of the story art.
Like, the chin's a problem. We got to fix this fast.
And he looks good now, doesn't he? He looks great.

Speaker 1 He looks great.

Speaker 5 And he texts me, he goes, Hey, put me in a group chat with PFT and Big Cat.

Speaker 1 And I just put laugh out loud, okay.

Speaker 5 Put us all in a group chat. We've had this group chat for the last couple of years now.

Speaker 5 And the whole, I feel like the entire thought of the tryout came from the group chat.

Speaker 5 Because we were trying to tell him how to beat the Rams. Yeah.
And it was like,

Speaker 5 hey, have somebody get, you got to get Aaron Donald suspended, have him rip somebody's helmet off and beat him with it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Aaron Donald get thrown out of the game. Will it fullback? Yeah.

Speaker 5 And PFD was like, seems like a job for fullback Willie. And Art's like, would you do that? I was like, yeah.
He's like, could you do a workout right now? Like, are you in shape?

Speaker 5 And I was like, nothing that caffeine and tortol couldn't get me through. And then that next week is when they call.
They're like,

Speaker 1 bring me in for a tryout. Yeah.

Speaker 5 How funny is that? Yeah. He's the best.

Speaker 8 He's a great dude.

Speaker 1 And his chin has gotten so much better. It has.

Speaker 4 We always did him a massive favor doing it.

Speaker 1 We did. Right.
Exactly. Like, we, because, you know, like you're the head coach of an NFL team.

Speaker 1 Probably a lot of guys in the facility who won't say, hey, man, your chin looks like, you know, melted cream cheese. We will.
Yeah. And then you fix it.

Speaker 4 That's just being a good friend.

Speaker 1 That's a good friend. That's a good friend.

Speaker 4 That's a solid friend. The ones that will tell you.
Something's in your teeth. You had a booger in your nose.
I think we told him.

Speaker 1 Your chin looks like melted cream cheese. Yeah, I think our first, we were like, Arthur, just become a COVID mask guy, just forever.

Speaker 1 Just be the last guy with the mask on. Super lib, yeah.
Super lib.

Speaker 8 What if you said something like that to Vrabes? Do you think Vrabes would laugh it off, or do you think Vrabes would actually like punch you?

Speaker 1 No. Something like, what, you got a cream cheese trin? Yeah.
Well, he doesn't. He does.
So don't say that.

Speaker 14 Don't just say that.

Speaker 1 No, no.

Speaker 1 That was Will and I.

Speaker 4 Mike has a strong chin. However, Mike has gotten comfortable.

Speaker 1 Oh. From a weight standpoint.
You can tell he's eating well.

Speaker 4 I mean.

Speaker 1 You're on your own. Oh, no.
Oh, no. That's all right.

Speaker 4 He fired me. I can see this, dude.

Speaker 4 He has gotten a little comfortable, dude. You see, the vest gets, it's a size bigger every single year.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, dude.

Speaker 1 Did he talk to you after you got cut? Did he reach out personally?

Speaker 4 Yeah, well, I sat in his office with him and ran.

Speaker 1 But you knew it was coming.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I knew the minute I had to get surgery

Speaker 4 the second week of the season, like it's over. Right.
In my head, I'm like, they probably should have cut me last year. Yeah.
You know, they made a big mistake.

Speaker 8 Have you recovered from the graphic that Bezos put out?

Speaker 1 Where it was the Amazon graphic.

Speaker 8 You were in a wheelchair.

Speaker 8 And your friend Ben, the center, he had like the cartoon rapper over his head with a big bump and birds flying out.

Speaker 4 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 to apologize and wanted my number.

Speaker 4 And I was like, do not give them my number. I want to keep wearing this for a while.

Speaker 4 That thing still pops up every single day, dude. Me in that damn wheelchair.

Speaker 1 It's a tough one.

Speaker 4 It was a bad Photoshop, too.

Speaker 1 But in the content world, if you have something that people can just pick on you, that's like a win.

Speaker 4 The worst part was I was with all of you in that bar in Arizona. I know.
And we just saw it.

Speaker 1 So far. We saw it live.
Yeah, it was all like, oh,

Speaker 4 oh, shit. I didn't see the wheelchair at first.
I was like, oh, 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.

Speaker 4 And it's like, I deserve this.

Speaker 1 So what are you, you guys have been at Barcelona now for what, two years? I think it was one of those. Three? Are we going on three? Yeah.

Speaker 5 It was three in February.

Speaker 1 How's the content world working? Are you guys, is it it everything you thought it would crack up to be? Or is it like,

Speaker 1 what are the pitfalls? What have you done? I love it.

Speaker 4 I think it's more. It's better than we thought it would be.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 It's been a blast.

Speaker 1 Have you stayed? I saw you got into it a little bit the other day, Will. With who? With the guy who made the joke about

Speaker 1 doing a podcast on an airplane. You called it boar.

Speaker 4 You were bored flying with the fellas. Yeah, you called them boar.

Speaker 5 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.

Speaker 5 And there's times where, you know, you either don't drink coffee in the morning or you just roll out of bed.

Speaker 1 You saw on the wrong side. We all have bad days.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you, except Taylor, when you look at the content world,

Speaker 5 it's not usually, you know, tasteful to

Speaker 5 go at people when it comes to money. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Especially you're making so much. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Will does really well. Well, no, you know what it is, Will? It honestly, you can do it, but you have to be that guy all the time.
Like Dave does it. Correct.
But Dave is that guy. Right.

Speaker 1 Right, right, right. Like, he doesn't apologize.
He doesn't apologize for it. And he's like, I got rich.
Right. I'm rich rich now.

Speaker 5 Right. Because I usually try to find a fun way to chirp back at people because it's not like he said anything.

Speaker 1 That person said anything that bad.

Speaker 5 I just felt like the shot he was taking, like, oh, this white linebacker who comes in, Dylan Redon's, like, they're both going to, they're both going to, they're both going to suck, and then they can do a podcast together.

Speaker 1 That's like how I read it in my head at the time. Yeah.

Speaker 4 I can't believe I caught strays with that.

Speaker 1 Did you?

Speaker 4 Well, they're both going to suck. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's a tough L to take, dude.

Speaker 8 Taylor, I've been meaning to ask you about this because we were watching, I think it was the college semifinal game. I I want to say it was TCU.

Speaker 4 Yeah, TCU versus Michigan.

Speaker 8 Michigan, yeah, you were on the sidelines for that on ESPN, right?

Speaker 4 ESPN too. Yeah,

Speaker 8 it wasn't ESPN. Our friend Cole Kubalik was down there.
He's the man. We love Cole.

Speaker 1 Love Cole.

Speaker 8 And RG3 was with you. We haven't gotten a chance to meet RG3.
He has an open invite on this podcast, so we hope to have him on soon.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 4 And you guys were like, oh, shit, shit rg3's wife is in labor then she didn't have a baby for like a month after 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 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

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 1 He should discuss.

Speaker 8 He should discuss because I think that was also the day where every Southwest Airlines flight got grounded all across the country.

Speaker 1 He also did a genius job of like, because you guys know father's like the pregnant wife thing. Like we were sitting here being like, we want to call him out, but that's a touchy situation.

Speaker 1 so we like he totally disarmed us yeah like we can't be like start running around the internet being like show us the baby yeah show us the baby

Speaker 8 like that's a good good l that you're gonna get that's a big l yeah it's but that's a good awareness for you to know that yeah a lot of guys wouldn't wouldn't see that no we kept that in the locker room yeah there'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 too hot for the air well you were telling me one earlier, right, Taylor?

Speaker 4 What was that?

Speaker 1 You were saying the thing about players in the NFL and drug use?

Speaker 1 No. Oh, you weren't?

Speaker 4 Okay, never mind. No, I wasn't saying that.

Speaker 4 You said something about who's that white quarterback that you weren't a huge fan of in the draft?

Speaker 1 No. You said you didn't like that.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was

Speaker 1 Kentucky. Jake Knight.

Speaker 4 I know for sure it was Kentucky.

Speaker 1 Kayner from Fresno State. That's who I love.

Speaker 4 You said something about a guy that you just weren't a big fan of.

Speaker 1 No, I actually said, let's be nice to Will Levis because he's a huge Stoolie.

Speaker 4 Okay, that's what you said.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and you said, I don't give a fuck. Nope, didn't say that.
I was like, I don't care about anything. I said, I don't.
I said,

Speaker 1 I don't

Speaker 1 trust him. You said, What did Michael Ratport say? He doesn't give a fuck about Stoolies.
I feel the same way. That's what you said.

Speaker 4 No, that's not what I said.

Speaker 8 What I said was, you said Stoolie's where I come from.

Speaker 1 That means that you're not. You're just

Speaker 4 put mayonnaise in your coffee. You just can't be a trustworthy individual.

Speaker 1 No, okay. And I hope the Titans don't take it.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 Like, that's something I'm seeing Will Levis, and I'm drafting him not not only for his quarterback play, but for his future ability as a podcaster.

Speaker 4 That's a big point.

Speaker 5 Now, is the team going to get a percent of a cut of

Speaker 5 that podcast revenue?

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 If you're just, if he's working for like the team media department, you can pay him more money for his podcast.

Speaker 4 Yeah. That's that's a big brain thought.

Speaker 1 No, that is a big brain thought.

Speaker 5 You know, he's he's not, if there's a situation, he's not really paying out well, you know, we're driving some good revenue over here, so that kind of offset the cost.

Speaker 8 Winning off the field, like our friend Bruce Allen used to say.

Speaker 4 I'd like to take this opportunity to say I've changed my mind completely about Will Levis.

Speaker 4 I think he's going to be maybe a Hall. He's probably going to be a Hall of Fame.

Speaker 1 Hall of Famer, yeah, 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

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You can't call him poor. What's the next thing we say?

Speaker 1 He's actually thinking of something mean to say.

Speaker 1 What the fuck?

Speaker 1 You guys want to talk some Big Ten football?

Speaker 4 We can talk Big Ten football.

Speaker 1 Let's talk some Big Ten football. Let's do it.
Where do you guys want to start? Do you think Nebraska has any chance? Taylor,

Speaker 1 this is crazy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's crazy that

Speaker 1 he thinks that Matt Rule is the answer here. Yeah.

Speaker 4 I think, here's what I know after talking with the people at the upper, the upper, whatever, upstairs of Nebraska.

Speaker 4 They had two coaching candidates

Speaker 4 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?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Matt Ruhl.

Speaker 4 And once they found out the caliber, that which guy can get to the highest of the program, they chose Matt Ruhl.

Speaker 4 I do believe three to five years from now, Nebraska is playing for Big Ten Championships.

Speaker 1 Okay, so Luke Fickle, the guy who's actually been to the college football playoffs. And also, Luke Fickle was hired

Speaker 1 before Matt Rule. So that feels

Speaker 5 at Cincinnati. That feels like

Speaker 1 Luke Fickle was told no.

Speaker 4 He was told no by Nebraska.

Speaker 1 You guys realize that going to the college football playoff at Cincinnati is way harder.

Speaker 5 Yeah, but all you got to do is win your games.

Speaker 1 You have to win every game.

Speaker 4 Easy schedule. Easy schedule.

Speaker 8 They scheduled somebody hard the year that they made it. Yeah, they far, right?

Speaker 1 They beat Notre Dame.

Speaker 4 Notre Dame's not them.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. okay well it did beat

Speaker 1 what year was this this was uh what 2019 no notre dame is probably the most

Speaker 1 fraudulent school in if nebraska has that schedule let's talk about it let's talk about it taylor

Speaker 5 three and nine that year that was the big greatest that was that was the year that they probably big cat they went three and nine yeah on our schedule if we're on cincinnati schedule we win that outright no chance we're in the college football playoff yeah well taylor let's talk about that you said i was really hoping that brushed over peter you said you said notre Dame is the most fraudulent school

Speaker 8 in college football. 20?

Speaker 4 I would say it's close.

Speaker 1 Why are you looking at me? Notre Dame?

Speaker 4 I'm just looking for a little hope out here.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 that's Texas. It's Bold State.

Speaker 4 Texas. No, Texas is going to be back, dude.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but you got the Manning kid. Notre Dame has, like,

Speaker 1 they've been in the mix every single year. They haven't won the title.
They need that one difference maker at quarterback.

Speaker 4 Who do they play every year besides USC?

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 they usually play a good out-of-conference, like they played Ohio State last year.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, I forgot Michigan. Okay.

Speaker 4 Yeah. I've seen those players.

Speaker 8 Yeah, no, they're definitely not keeping up with those facilities over there. Yeah.

Speaker 8 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?

Speaker 4 We didn't see that. We were there.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, I don't think we saw that.
We didn't see that.

Speaker 8 They gave us the good tour.

Speaker 1 We did a tour of Ohio State facilities, and we got like halfway through and I was like, where's Urban Meyer's contract that he wrote to his family saying like he cares about them more than football?

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 the guy giving us a tour was like, this tour's over. He didn't talk to us.
Oh, really? Yeah.

Speaker 8 What actually happened, we were in his office and they're showing us around his office and he's got the contract on his wall.

Speaker 8 And then Big Cat goes up to him and goes, Hey guys, this is the contract. Yes.

Speaker 1 Fake heart attack contract. And he started taking a picture of it.

Speaker 8 And then I heard one of the guys whisper whisper to the other coach that was giving us the tour, like, they're making fun of Coach's contract.

Speaker 8 And then they reacted like he was a cult leader. They're like, we need to extricate these games.

Speaker 1 He had to make a contract to say that he loves his family. And I was the weird one.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 I do think there's an argument. I think there's an argument.

Speaker 5 This is going to be painful. But I think there's an argument that Michigan is the most fraudulent team in college football.

Speaker 1 Oh, all right. So off that, Taylor.
Yeah. Last year, you go to the college football playoff for the second year in a row.

Speaker 4 Yeah, we went to it. Let's remember that we went to it.

Speaker 1 You went to it, but it was a failure. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was a failure.

Speaker 4 Michigan lost that game.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 Michigan lost that game. TCU did not win that game.

Speaker 1 Okay, but still, TCU won the game. TCU had a higher score.
Wait, we had a higher score at the end of the game. Let me see.
Wait, based on the game, the way they got the game. Who had more points?

Speaker 4 TCU. So did they win or lose? Yeah, they won, but I'm saying Michigan.
This is like our Max

Speaker 1 Max says that the Phillies didn't get no hit in the World Series.

Speaker 4 Michigan

Speaker 4 has better talent and should have won that game. They have better coaches as well.

Speaker 4 However, there are miscues. We had a pick six.
There was a quarterback, running back exchange issue at the goal line when that should have been called a touchdown in the first place.

Speaker 4 This is the first time. After there's an interception.

Speaker 4 You guys didn't even sniff that.

Speaker 1 I'm saying

Speaker 1 when you say we had more talent and we should have won that game, we didn't win coaches.

Speaker 1 Losers didn't win that game.

Speaker 5 And you're right. You're right.
We didn't sniff the big ten. But we're not saying we're good.

Speaker 1 That's why I'm saying there's an argument for the market. We're climbing the mountain.

Speaker 1 It's not frogs. We're climbing the mountain.

Speaker 4 We are a top four program in all of college.

Speaker 1 Some are saying Michigan's on the other side of the mountain and they never got to the top.

Speaker 8 That's ridiculous to say.

Speaker 1 We're on the climb. Willie and I are on the climb.

Speaker 4 Have you seen their recent recruiting class? Okay. They're number one.

Speaker 1 They're over Ohio State. They're over Georgia.
So they should win all their games.

Speaker 4 Especially against TC? I'm just saying. They're just reloading over and over again.

Speaker 5 Hey, they're number one right now, early in in the recruiting process.

Speaker 4 That's all right. That's okay.

Speaker 8 What does that get you if you're number one in recruiting?

Speaker 1 A lot of opportunity. It actually gives you the opportunity when you lose in the college football playoff to take a look at the business.

Speaker 4 And we have the best safety.

Speaker 1 We have more talent. I was just saying

Speaker 1 better coaches. We have the best strength staff.

Speaker 4 We have the best strength staff. We have the best coaching staff.
And these guys, they're going to develop these players. We're going to win that in the next three years.
So HPF.

Speaker 1 And when Harbaugh should have been a win.

Speaker 4 When Harbaugh does that, oh, I'm going to leave, blah, blah, blah. And he finally goes in two, three years.

Speaker 4 The O-line coach, Sean Moore, he will be the head coach at the University of Michigan. He will take them to the pinnacle as well.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 4 Three years. But yeah,

Speaker 4 I'm willing to look into the future like that with you.

Speaker 8 So, what happens if they don't win within three years?

Speaker 8 Put some stakes on it.

Speaker 4 Then, what do you want us to put on it?

Speaker 5 Soul Patch. You got to fire the entire staff out.

Speaker 1 You got to rock the Soul Patch three years. I don't think I can even make it.
I don't think I'll be a good one.

Speaker 8 You look good at a Soul Patch. You look like the guy from Smash Mouth.

Speaker 4 No,

Speaker 4 I'm not a Soul Patch guy. Smash Mouth is a good one.

Speaker 1 I think you could pull it in. That's a great pull.

Speaker 5 I think you could be a Soul Patch guy.

Speaker 8 Yeah, don't discount yourself like that.

Speaker 4 No, I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 4 Let's do something else.

Speaker 8 You're big enough to be a Soul Patch guy.

Speaker 8 If you're a large man and you have a Soul Patch, you're like, that guy plays baseball.

Speaker 4 I'm not going to look at it as if it's actually going to just grow on me right now.

Speaker 5 Taylor, would you say that Michigan should fire their entire staff if they went no more?

Speaker 4 No, I'm not going to say that either.

Speaker 1 Well, they've got the number one reporting in the country. Right.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 right now they do. It's early than the expectations have been raised.

Speaker 1 You beat beat the shit out of Ohio State last year. Twice.
The first year that you did it, that was kind of it. Like, you had to beat Ohio State.
You did it.

Speaker 1 Now you have to start going deeper.

Speaker 4 It's been progressive steps every single year.

Speaker 1 Well, no, last year. Beat Ohio State.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 Now the next hurdle is just get to that final two. If they get to the final two next year, I'm happy.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 4 If they don't, I'm willing to put something on it, but a stall batch. Listen, that's a life-changing experience.

Speaker 8 Yeah, well, I mean, you have improved. It's not necessarily lateral because you didn't lose by 70 this time.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And they also kind of should have won.

Speaker 4 It should have been an all-big 10.

Speaker 4 It should have been an all-big 10 national championship. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That would have been so dope. That would have been so dope.
Who would you have gone for?

Speaker 1 I would have been happy. I would have been like, look, hang a banner.
Big 10 won. Big 10 won.
No matter what.

Speaker 4 So, yeah, when we were talking, when was that? We were last year. It was right before.

Speaker 1 It was Black Friday. It was Black Friday.

Speaker 4 It was Black Friday. We were talking about how we were talking to Big Eddie, right?

Speaker 1 He's got a roofer. He's got a roofer of Michigan.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he's got to. And he just said he wouldn't.
Yeah. And it's like, bro, you got to, it's like your Game of Thrones.
Yeah, the Game of Thrones. You got to come together to beat the White Walkers.

Speaker 1 Well, what he doesn't realize is that you, in a situation like that, if Michigan had gone to the national championship, it's a win-win as long as you just have your spin zone hat on.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you can find your way out of one of those. No matter what.
Right. So you got to set yourself up with it, though, with the groundwork.
Big Eddie realized.

Speaker 4 You seem like a big insurance policy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right. He's always got to be aware of that.
He just got

Speaker 1 listened.

Speaker 5 You always got to see a glass half full. Right.
Like, I'm going to find my way out of this.

Speaker 8 Would you rather lose in

Speaker 8 the semifinal game or get to the finals and lose and get blown out like TCU did?

Speaker 4 Get to the finals. Because

Speaker 4 that one week of optimism is going to be so amazing.

Speaker 1 It's like the second weekend of March Madness. But

Speaker 1 it is important to just always have yourself, like every bowl season, I'll always tweet out the records like the first week in when like Illinois beats someone and SEC hasn't played yet.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, SEC, no wins.

Speaker 1 You just got to get, you got to get it when the going's good. And then when the going goes bad, you just disappear and say, I never said that.
I never said any of that.

Speaker 4 That's the biggest thing with the internet.

Speaker 1 Big 10 cat. I don't know who that guy is.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 Big 10's always hot at the beginning of bowl season.

Speaker 1 Dude, I know it. Believe me.
I'm tweeting like 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.

Speaker 1 What What are we talking about here? College football season's over. Yeah.

Speaker 4 I think Michigan. I think Michigan wins it next year.

Speaker 1 They've done great with the transfer portal.

Speaker 4 They've had good players come in.

Speaker 4 Our running back stayed. That J.J.
McCarthy, he's back. He's now got that experience.

Speaker 4 Oh, yeah. You want him back.
Absolutely. Kids a stud.
It's first time. First time.
He's going to win the whole thing next year. Okay.

Speaker 8 Football school, officially.

Speaker 4 Oh, it's been a football school. Never.
It's the winningest program in college football. History.

Speaker 8 It was never once a basketball school.

Speaker 4 No, when I was there, it was definitely a basketball school.

Speaker 4 When I was there, it was everything but football school.

Speaker 1 And they are the winningest programming.

Speaker 4 Our football team ripped. Our basketball team ripped.
Hockey team was in the frozen four like three out of the four years.

Speaker 1 And Michigan was smarter than everyone else because in the early 1900s, they just invited the local YMCA to Ann Arbor Chicago. Beat them, and then they're like, look,

Speaker 1 another win for the boys.

Speaker 8 Didn't they teach them how to play football?

Speaker 1 There were a couple teams where Detroit YMCA. They brought them in.

Speaker 8 And they taught you, like, here's this sport that's taking over America.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 1 We call it a national title.

Speaker 4 Yeah. They don't ask how, they ask how many boys.
That's all I'm going to do.

Speaker 1 I actually want to look it up real quick. 1902, Michigan.
Let's just pick a random year.

Speaker 4 You've already had this thing.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no. I'm just picking a random year.

Speaker 5 Michigan dominated in the 50s. That was like their last time that they dominated it.

Speaker 4 In 97, we won a national championship.

Speaker 5 You shared a national title.

Speaker 1 Week one,

Speaker 1 1902, they beat a school called Albion 88 to nothing.

Speaker 1 Hey, dude, I want to ask a question. Throughout the record books, when Michigan and Albion hit teas, no love lost

Speaker 1 to Albion.

Speaker 5 And Taylor don't say anything.

Speaker 1 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 were doing.

Speaker 4 We got to get back to those dudes. That's a fucking jump.

Speaker 1 Let's get back to that, Michigan.

Speaker 4 Let's do that again.

Speaker 1 Go ahead.

Speaker 5 All right, here's the question. And I would like everybody everybody to answer too, so that way we get a majority vote.

Speaker 5 If you win a national title and you shared it, would you rather have the coaches national title or the AP national title?

Speaker 1 Oh, good question.

Speaker 1 Good question. Go ahead, Billy.

Speaker 8 I respect the biz.

Speaker 1 Coaches?

Speaker 1 No, okay.

Speaker 5 Everybody can have their own vote.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 AP.

Speaker 1 Coaches.

Speaker 5 I'd take AP.

Speaker 1 I'd go coaches. Three to three.
Oh, shit.

Speaker 8 I'd take AP, and here's why. Because

Speaker 8 when they talk about it, who do you want writing the history of who won that national title? The journalists.

Speaker 8 They're going to be like our team. They're going to go with the AP vote as opposed to the coaches.

Speaker 1 You really went 3-3? You guys should just split it. This hypothetical.
The hypothetical because

Speaker 1 we should split it because that never happened.

Speaker 5 Nebraska won the coaches poll.

Speaker 1 Or won the coaches. No, I know.
I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I knew what the question was. 1997.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 The thing about Michigan, too, is Michigan has as much. AAP is a wooden chip.

Speaker 1 You got the nice point.

Speaker 5 I know.

Speaker 1 It sucks to be.

Speaker 4 If you don't go to Michigan, usually people hate Michigan. Because they literally have it in their song, the leaders and best.

Speaker 4 I understand why they want the coaches, felt some type of way and let Nebraska have that championship.

Speaker 8 Do you actually think people hate Michigan? I don't think about them at all.

Speaker 1 When they get good. You do.

Speaker 4 When they get good. You do that.
You think about them every day.

Speaker 8 No, I don't feel strongly one way.

Speaker 8 I would have been fine with Michigan winning the national championship this year, but I wouldn't have.

Speaker 8 You know what I really I wanted them to win it last year when the big dogs showed up what were they wearing they're just the run the damn ball shirts and then they just couldn't run the ball at all that was a tough look yeah they had a whole NFL

Speaker 4 on the Georgia no I think

Speaker 1 Michigan and 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 yeah how is Michigan elitist well you mean you just said you just literally said the leader

Speaker 1 i would say we but we run it down people's throats dude we run the down michigan i understand i love jim harbaugh i'm a i've been a jim harbaugh fan for a very long time i love him so it it definitely dulls it for me where i'm like i want him to be successful but if you think

Speaker 4 more award winner first time ever in nca history that's not elitist dude that's just grit and determination but i but i think what PFT's saying is like 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Harvard of the Midwest.

Speaker 5 all these preppy kids are with all these witty toys.

Speaker 4 I know what he was saying, Will, and I it's unfortunate, but it is kind of true.

Speaker 8 Will, would you have wanted Urban Meyer?

Speaker 1 Do what? At Nebraska? Yeah, no. Yeah.
You would have won her. That would have won.

Speaker 4 A lot of blondes in Nebraska.

Speaker 1 That would have been a guaranteed national cornhole. He wouldn't have made it a week there, dude.
Yeah, Urban probably would have left.

Speaker 5 You know what I mean? There's not enough action going on up there.

Speaker 4 All there is in Nebraska is denims, denim jeans, and blondes.

Speaker 1 Here's one for you, Taylor. October 15th, 1896, Michigan won 28-0.
Who do they play?

Speaker 4 1896? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yale. They played a school called Physicians and Surgeons.
Yep.

Speaker 1 It's a bunch of

Speaker 1 cuts. They got a bunch of lab coaches in Ann Arbor.
They're like, get on down here. Yeah, hell yeah.
They want to play it. They just throw them the ball and light them up.

Speaker 1 That seems like a trap game, though. 28.

Speaker 8 You probably didn't cover the spread in that one.

Speaker 1 Yeah, probably not.

Speaker 4 Probably not. Probably not that as a trap game.

Speaker 1 It is funny because obviously, like, 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 this. It's so funny.

Speaker 1 It's just like, who the fuck?

Speaker 1 It's not even a school.

Speaker 4 What was the name of that school again?

Speaker 1 Physicians and surgeons.

Speaker 4 Physicians and surgeons.

Speaker 1 I literally

Speaker 1 invited the medical school to come down and get their ass kicked. That's wild.

Speaker 4 Good for them, dude, to see, like, they literally saw 200 years in the future.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 4 Dude, that's why it's a top 15 public school in the world.

Speaker 1 They think like that. They understand.

Speaker 8 So that means you're number 15 when you you say top 15.

Speaker 4 Nope. I was top 15 pick.

Speaker 6 1895 against the Detroit Athletic Club.

Speaker 1 There it is. Yeah, that's the YMCA.

Speaker 1 Imagine how sick that would have been to be on that Michigan team.

Speaker 1 Who we got this week, boys? We got

Speaker 1 school teachers and stuff. Yeah, we just have these guys down the street.
They don't know how to play the game.

Speaker 1 Hell yeah, boys. Let's take care of them.
So much fucking fun.

Speaker 4 Dude, that would be a hilarious movie.

Speaker 4 Like a Will Farrell doing that movie. That's when they invent the forward pass.
Yeah, like something like that.

Speaker 8 Teddy Roosevelt has to step in. That's probably why I stepped in at that point to make football safer because you guys were just killing people.
You had to football.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you were just players.

Speaker 4 Let's go back then, man.

Speaker 8 Will, you're 10.2.

Speaker 1 Loading.

Speaker 8 Correct. Loading.
We're loading it, right?

Speaker 1 Always loading.

Speaker 8 Did you get any calls from XFL teams?

Speaker 5 No, man. You know, I tried pursuing the XFL team.

Speaker 1 That's not true.

Speaker 4 You had a couple DMs, didn't you?

Speaker 1 I got DMs. No phone calls.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I did have a DM.

Speaker 5 I had a call. When I showed the DM,

Speaker 5 when I I showed that public DM, the guy who was working that account was like, hey, do you mind asking Will if he can delete that? Like, I don't want that to get back to me. And then I get fired.

Speaker 5 And I'm like, oh, hey,

Speaker 5 it's free content right now, brother.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5 And

Speaker 5 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.

Speaker 5 You know what I mean? Fair.

Speaker 1 Don't you think? Yeah, he's reasonable. Did he get back to you?

Speaker 5 No, we didn't hear anything.

Speaker 4 I would like to publicly sweeten that pot, too. If The Rock comes on our podcast, I will also play in the XFL.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Different team than Will, though.

Speaker 8 Are you going to play offensive line or tight end?

Speaker 5 You don't want to play on the same team?

Speaker 4 No, I do. But I want to beat you again.

Speaker 1 So you're not ready? That was really mean.

Speaker 4 I probably play tight end. You've beat me.
I play tight end.

Speaker 1 You've beat me

Speaker 4 never.

Speaker 4 What do you?

Speaker 4 No, once. I beat you once when you were in the Raiders.

Speaker 4 You beat me. You beat me twice.
No, Michigan. Oh, yeah, Michigan.
Nebraska. I'm two.

Speaker 1 I'm at Nebraska.

Speaker 4 We're two and two. We're 500 against each other.

Speaker 1 It's just split a trophy.

Speaker 4 But then if you go into.

Speaker 4 Well, if you go to the Bustin Bowl,

Speaker 1 I'm three and two against you.

Speaker 1 That is very Michigan of you to invent a trophy to just win it every year. Against Nebraska.
They're in the world.

Speaker 4 I was doing a solid for my friend, making sure his school made it to a bowl game that year.

Speaker 1 Nebraska.

Speaker 4 That was me doing the best I could to help his team out.

Speaker 1 In their worst stretch ever. It's like, let's...
Yeah, you know what? Let's fucking win.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's official.

Speaker 5 I want to say Nebraska up in the press box called down, like, hey, hey, we don't want no ceremony going on here.

Speaker 1 We didn't agree to this.

Speaker 5 We did not agree to this.

Speaker 1 Yeah. We created a bowl game and the FAU actually put the trophy in their trophy case.
Western Kentucky. Oh, Western Kentucky.
Yeah. They played F.
Do they play FAU?

Speaker 8 They played down in Boca Cretan. Yes.

Speaker 5 Yes. Yeah.
Did you guys go to Western?

Speaker 1 We sent Caleb on the field. He actually got an interview with the coach right after the game.
Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, he was like, and he wasn't credentialed or anything.

Speaker 1 He just jumped on the field and then he got kicked off the field.

Speaker 5 Michigan, they're freaking supporting it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're showing it.

Speaker 4 It's right next to the Paul Bunyan trophy, the brown jug, all that. It's in that trophy case.

Speaker 1 Oh, a little breaking news. Ravens

Speaker 1 have agreed to terms with Lamar Jackson. Good.

Speaker 8 I didn't want him, anyways.

Speaker 4 Fuck him. What was the number? Who cares?

Speaker 1 What was it? Too much?

Speaker 8 Overrated.

Speaker 1 He's a running back.

Speaker 8 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?

Speaker 1 Overrated. Fleeced.

Speaker 8 Lamar Jackson fleeced the Ravens.

Speaker 5 Are you projecting

Speaker 1 real time?

Speaker 8 No, I don't even know what that means.

Speaker 8 Seriously, Lamar Jackson, he's coming off of like

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 1 It's coming from a placement. Imagine

Speaker 1 that.

Speaker 8 Imagine wanting him as your quarterback.

Speaker 1 It's coming from a placement.

Speaker 8 I mean, good for Lamar. I'm glad that he got paid, but if I was the Ravens, that's a lot of money to you.

Speaker 5 Why don't you say what you were telling me outside of here?

Speaker 8 I wasn't telling anybody.

Speaker 1 He's like, I would suck a dick for Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 5 Yeah, there was another.

Speaker 8 I said your dick because it's so small.

Speaker 5 There's another genetic thing he had going on that you didn't like about him.

Speaker 1 What do you mean? Uh-oh. The truth is about it.
You were telling me the truth is about him.

Speaker 5 I'm just setting the stage if you wanted to say it. You said all that other stuff about him.
Say what you want to say.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 4 That was what he wasn't talking about.

Speaker 5 I truly love watching your guys's brains work. They operate different.

Speaker 5 You guys always do a really good job of finding the three moves ahead.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you you guys do a good job of that.

Speaker 1 You owe us money, right, Will? I don't think so. Yeah, you owe guys.

Speaker 1 Did you pay PFT?

Speaker 5 What do I owe PFT?

Speaker 1 For the Mini Golf?

Speaker 1 What do we bet?

Speaker 8 We bet on the Mini Golf, it was like $500 each. It was busting against PMT.
Yeah. I think it was.

Speaker 1 Taylor paid me you. No, Taylor paid me $500.
You owe him $500.

Speaker 8 We made a bet right before we have it on film. You have like 10 guys following you with iPhones, filming everything that they did.

Speaker 1 You got to show me the tape.

Speaker 8 You owe me $500. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Taylor paid me $500 this morning.

Speaker 8 Because he's a gentleman. Yes.

Speaker 1 Great guy. So do I always.

Speaker 1 500? No, you owe PFT 500. And also, you robbed us at the Arizona Bowl.
But Taylor, I'll never say a bad thing about Taylor.

Speaker 1 You're a deadbeat.

Speaker 4 You do bring up PEDs a lot, but I do appreciate it.

Speaker 1 Well, it's, you know.

Speaker 1 That's good of you to. What was it? What was it? That's good of you.
What was it? What was it?

Speaker 1 Smart of you to see the business. All right, so to all Tennessee fan, you know what? Fuck it.
I'm going to go for my heart. I'm going to go for my heart.

Speaker 1 One of the greatest speeches of all time. Oh, you're going to cover Will? You're going to cover Will? That's right.

Speaker 1 Look at that. Look at that.
What a guy. What a guy.
Taylor's a stand-up guy.

Speaker 4 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, Will.

Speaker 1 We're good.

Speaker 8 I do have a question for you guys because

Speaker 8 we haven't. We haven't.
This is a serious question. I'm not playing chess.
I'm not moving money.

Speaker 1 Don't do this.

Speaker 4 I'm not doing anything. Yes, In-N Out is the best burger.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 8 I'm 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?

Speaker 8 Was there anyone who approached the other person

Speaker 8 and said, I fuck with this guy, hard-bodied karate. Let's do a podcast together.
How did that go?

Speaker 1 I'll come in his hole.

Speaker 1 Any of that?

Speaker 8 Whose hole got came into by the other guy?

Speaker 1 Because PST and I come to each other's holes all the time.

Speaker 4 This is, 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.

Speaker 8 I think Will was like,

Speaker 1 I want to do a podcast.

Speaker 4 Billy, who's the top?

Speaker 1 Well, how does it work with Jeffree Jeffree Star?

Speaker 4 I'll get to that in a little bit.

Speaker 1 Hold on.

Speaker 1 Go ahead. Go ahead, Billy.
You're all right. It's going to be Will.
Will's going to be the top? No, no, the bottom. Okay.
Oh, Power Bottom. That's all you got to say is Power Bottom.

Speaker 4 Will does have an ass on him, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's got a bunch of people. He's got a great ass.
He's got a Trump.

Speaker 4 He's got a little Buick back there.

Speaker 1 You're fucking riding that.

Speaker 4 I love how Billy's the only one that answered. Let's just have it.
Keep it answered.

Speaker 1 Yeah, keep it right. Billy's the only one that.
Yeah, Billy, pretty sus of you to even think about that. People are saying that was sus of you.

Speaker 4 I'd never answer that question. Billy, don't answer that question.

Speaker 1 I'd never dignify that to respond.

Speaker 1 Don't dignify that response.

Speaker 1 PFT, would you ever answer that question?

Speaker 8 I forgot the question already. That's how straight I am.

Speaker 5 How did you think it went?

Speaker 8 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 making, you're fucking making vines on draft night.

Speaker 8 No wonder you didn't get drafted. People were like, this guy cares.
He doesn't care about football enough.

Speaker 5 Hang on, that's a what? That's just my vine game's taking some ricochet there.

Speaker 1 I don't even know why.

Speaker 8 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 here.

Speaker 17 Well, that person would have been wrong.

Speaker 1 He would have made wrong judgments.

Speaker 8 That would have been, I would have been a bad GM.

Speaker 1 We had the idea to do a podcast in a van, then Will saw it. Yeah.
He was like, oh, this is a good idea.

Speaker 5 So hang on. He said, hey, I'm not trying to play a chess.
I'm not.

Speaker 8 I'm genuinely curious how you guys got together and

Speaker 1 wanted to do a podcast.

Speaker 5 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.

Speaker 5 There was one time where I was driving to do some radio interview for Tennessee. He's like, the podcast came up again.
He was like, I'm down to do it. And then

Speaker 5 when it finally happened, we were banged up at some Chinese restaurant. I'm telling the truth.

Speaker 1 We were banged. What? We were high.
Yeah, banged up. Chinese restaurant.

Speaker 8 Banged up. I thought you were drunk.
But yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I thought he was high on HGH. There he goes again.

Speaker 1 I'll give you a $500 back.

Speaker 8 Every time we make a reference to your PDF, I'll give you $100.

Speaker 1 Yeah, go ahead. Pass that back.

Speaker 4 Pass that through. There you go.

Speaker 5 And then we, yeah, we were high at a Chinese restaurant and shook hands.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no. There's only one.
There's only one. Okay.
It's shutting down.

Speaker 5 Yeah, it is how it started.

Speaker 8 Yeah. You were high at a Chinese restaurant and you shook hands.

Speaker 5 That's when it got consolidated.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 He's like, do you really still want to do this? Because I'll wait for you. Because he was like, I want to.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I was like, if not, I want to get this going because who knows if fucking I'll get the opportunities to play. Right.

Speaker 4 And so I was like, yeah, I'm for sure going to do it. And then we found the bus quickly after I got back to Nashville.

Speaker 1 What year was that? 2018.

Speaker 1 2019?

Speaker 8 What year was Barcelona Van Talk?

Speaker 1 2017.

Speaker 4 2017. You know what's crazy is if you look at when our podcast started in my NFL career, how fast my NFL career went down.
Yeah, same.

Speaker 1 Like in 2019, we started the podcast.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 It's like, yo, you might owe me some money, bust.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and it also is like

Speaker 1 when you like list all that out, it sucks.

Speaker 4 It's tough to find this out now on this podcast.

Speaker 1 No, but more than anything, you also then had a podcast. You had to answer to all of those things.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 And that's good to have your own narrative.

Speaker 1 Taylor. Yeah, that's

Speaker 5 the podcast is the best thing to happen for you.

Speaker 4 Yes. It really is.
I think it is the.

Speaker 1 So it's, so your wife not the best thing? No. As far as for you know okay, second my wife you talking about my wife my wife and my wife and two kids over the podcast

Speaker 8 My kids have only spent money dude I'm making a whole bunch of money doing this makes sense though that like if you think back to when we started part of my take big guy big guy got bit by a dog yeah like right after right through my pinky I broke my foot walking and ever since then or 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

Speaker 4 The only person I've seen not affect is Will Compton.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Only positives have happened to him.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he just dragged you into his devil's lair.

Speaker 4 He's always his convoluted web of life.

Speaker 5 I just keep it moving, dude.

Speaker 4 Bro, yeah, he's keeping a band with the kids, huh?

Speaker 1 He just keep it going, man.

Speaker 4 He keep going. Are you really upset about that?

Speaker 4 You know, Lamar Jackson?

Speaker 1 No, I don't think I'm going to go.

Speaker 8 Again, that's another guy that I don't think of at all. Like, who cares?

Speaker 5 Hey, why did you guys stop doing

Speaker 4 Lamar Jackson at least 180 guaranteed?

Speaker 5 Nice. Why didn't you guys continue doing just a least 52 a year?

Speaker 1 Well, we still do it. We did do it like the Super Bowl that year.

Speaker 5 I remember Bo came on that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, every time we go on Grit Week, we'll interview people out of the RV or a van. So we do it whenever we're mobile.

Speaker 5 Now it's like a nice van, though, yeah?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, we have just the RV. I mean, we've changed.
Barstools had different RVs. So, yeah, I guess it is a nicer RV.

Speaker 5 So the van was only for like a certain, like,

Speaker 1 we bought a van for Grit Week called Vanny Woodhead for $600 in Queens.

Speaker 1 Yep, that's the hubcap right there. Very cool.

Speaker 1 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 was sick.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I do remember a couple of those because that's when I came across it because of course you do. Because Bo went on.

Speaker 1 You had it on your little Inspo board.

Speaker 5 No.

Speaker 1 Like your little Etsy.

Speaker 4 I will ask guys.

Speaker 4 You know what you got to do? The Buzz Thing was 100% me. It wasn't.

Speaker 4 Will was again, like, not against the Buzz thing.

Speaker 8 Will seem to disagree.

Speaker 1 No, I'm saying

Speaker 14 I always thought that the bus part was the best part of the show.

Speaker 5 The production team we were working with at the time, when we curated the whole thing, he was like, hey, what do you think about this? There's this broken down bus out back in this gravel parking lot.

Speaker 5 I was like, I don't fuck with it, but I feel like when Taylor gets here, he's going to fucking love it. Yeah.
So I was like, let's wait till he gets here.

Speaker 1 He's like, oh, this is fucking awesome.

Speaker 5 We go out back and then Ted's like, yeah, let's get it. It was like $2,000.
And he's like, I'll put $10,000 into it. If it works, awesome.
If it doesn't, I'll just keep it in my backyard. Yeah.

Speaker 8 You know what you guys should do is you should end every show. You should get like a slot machine on the bus and then take turns trying to get the slot machine right.

Speaker 8 And then the winner gets a jackpot from it.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's a great idea. Is that an original thought?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but it's really good if one of your producers never gets it.

Speaker 5 We're going to start doing

Speaker 5 like fans asking questions like FAQs.

Speaker 1 Oh, nice. Nice.
Nice. Mount Busmore.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Mount Busmore is known. Yeah.

Speaker 4 That's like one of our, that was one of our brain trials that really came to fruition. Mount Busmore.

Speaker 8 I got to admit, like credit words, dude. That's a funny name.

Speaker 1 That's a good name. That's a good name.

Speaker 1 All right, last question for you guys. Oh, it's over soon? We can go forever.
You guys know, like, we can go longer. I'm extremely uncomfortable sitting in this chair, bro.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to tell you the fucking draft show.

Speaker 4 I have been so uncomfortable this entire podcast.

Speaker 1 This seat sucks, dick. I look at Will, I look at Will casually, and I'm like, man, he looks so comfortable.

Speaker 4 I'm like pitting out.

Speaker 1 I keep looking at my shirt.

Speaker 4 It's like wrinkled from the sweat.

Speaker 1 It's a bad seat.

Speaker 4 It's a bad seat. It's a bad seat.

Speaker 4 Thank you for seeing my truth.

Speaker 1 And the couch is held up by paint cans.

Speaker 4 Yeah, and this mic, you guys have been in the business for too long to have a mic like this. This is a more sandbag.
Part of the allure.

Speaker 1 All right, so last question, Rose.

Speaker 4 So is the last question or are we going to keep going?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I want to keep going.

Speaker 11 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boar's Head is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 11 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 11 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, Hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration to upgrade your spread visit your local boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd boarshead committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 uh do you guys want to guess the lottery ball that's the last question yes also

Speaker 5 other last question i saw you hit the other day it made me excited it was so fun it's so fun

Speaker 1 How, just, we can cut this. We'll just turn off the mics, but how sick was it to do PEDs?

Speaker 1 Give me. Here you go.

Speaker 1 I'll pay $100 for that. For that honest answer, I'll pay for

Speaker 4 $200 right there.

Speaker 1 But it felt good, right?

Speaker 12 When you got popped. I'm going to show you guys running.

Speaker 1 Go ahead, Billy. Billy, just took my hand.

Speaker 1 No, that's the way. That's right.

Speaker 4 Billy,

Speaker 4 you would crush a styrofoam cup right now, dude. I guarantee you're on something, aren't you?

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 4 You're on the gear. You're on something.
No, no, but I'm. You're just on gear, but don't work out.

Speaker 1 You don't just do it because it's cool to you.

Speaker 1 Isn't that right?

Speaker 4 You know, throw like a whole shitload of trend.

Speaker 10 You know how many dudes like started doing Asta after you got popped?

Speaker 1 Oh, you're a role model, my buddies.

Speaker 1 They're like, yo, that's what I got popped for?

Speaker 4 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 for?

Speaker 5 Did it work for your boys?

Speaker 4 Exactly. It doesn't do anything.
It's for osteoporosis.

Speaker 4 So it's nothing beneficial towards football at all. Yeah, I can tell.
And I really, I really

Speaker 1 keep fucking rolling through that one.

Speaker 1 If you're gonna dog, if you, yeah, Will's still, that one is still not computed with Will.

Speaker 1 I don't even know what to say. I don't know.

Speaker 4 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 fucking, you know.

Speaker 1 Twice.

Speaker 4 If you're going to do it, you might as well get something out of it. I just wish if I was, no matter what, going to get popped up, like, I might as well do something.

Speaker 1 Right, right. You didn't get your money's worth.

Speaker 1 Well, you are now, every time we bring it up. Yeah, you guys

Speaker 1 enjoyed. It's more than ever.

Speaker 4 Made $300 this podcast.

Speaker 8 Will, how did you get away with using steroids for so long?

Speaker 5 You know, I will tell you a story.

Speaker 5 So I tore my PCL in 2016,

Speaker 5 and

Speaker 5 I was back on the field playing in nine days.

Speaker 5 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.

Speaker 5 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.

Speaker 8 Oh, shit.

Speaker 8 That's how Billy knew.

Speaker 4 I did not know that story. That's how Billy knew.

Speaker 8 I think Billy used you as a consultant when he was shooting me up with something.

Speaker 5 Yeah, BPC-157.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 5 That's a peptide that is now illegal in the NFL, but dude, I mean, we all use it.

Speaker 5 I got fired up. When I saw it was illegal, I was fired up.
I was like, oh, hell yeah.

Speaker 1 Like, I've been on this train since 2016. You knew that you were doing something right.

Speaker 4 BPC is a wonder drug. Like, everybody was using BPC back then.
And then, like, was it last year? Last year, January, like, it went illegal?

Speaker 5 Yeah. I wouldn't say everybody was using it.

Speaker 4 Not everybody, but there was...

Speaker 5 A couple hundred dollars. 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

Speaker 1 he talked about BPC 157.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 Have you ever heard of that? The red light for his balls?

Speaker 5 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.

Speaker 5 Yeah, he also injected his dick with stem cell. Turned black and blue.
He would do shockwave therapy to bring these blood vessels.

Speaker 1 He was HGH.

Speaker 8 So he was. Why didn't he just go to therapy? It sounds like he just hated his dick.

Speaker 5 He was doing a men's, like, men's health wanted him to do an article, and he was basically

Speaker 1 big biohacker.

Speaker 5 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...

Speaker 5 Because it helps recover injuries, helps with leaky gut, like a lot of good stuff. When I would tear,

Speaker 5 when I get like a, I had a fucking grade one

Speaker 5 hammy, and 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.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I avoided surgery on my arm because Billy shot me up with that.

Speaker 5 But Dennis elbow is a big one.

Speaker 5 You'll go right into it.

Speaker 4 I had an ankle sprain. I would literally put it right in my ankle.
And like three days later, it was fine.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 That was my point where I was like, the content game has gone too far for me.

Speaker 1 The content game has gone too far.

Speaker 5 Yeah, you were weirdly nervous about that.

Speaker 8 Well, I don't think it's weird to be nervous about Billy injecting medicine.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I get that part, but I figured like I would have like.

Speaker 8 You would have told me if it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 Because it's really not like you know, I think it should be something that's allowed. Yeah, it's like that was the equivalent like Ben was talking about TB500 cocktailed with something else.

Speaker 5 Like that's something that fixes injuries right away, but that's illegal on the banned substance list because that's like you put in racehorses. Right.
But he had found BPC 157.

Speaker 5 He's like, this is a good substitute where it's not on any banned substance list.

Speaker 8 Your PCL bounce back. You're ready to play.

Speaker 5 BPC wasn't in my PCL. I don't know what was in my PCL.
I was just like, hey, I'm willing to, like, I'll do whatever it fucking takes me.

Speaker 1 It takes some math, some science.

Speaker 5 I'll actually, I'll find this video, too, and it's varnished.

Speaker 1 You guys keep talking. I'll try to find this video.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Yeah.
BPC

Speaker 4 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 do.

Speaker 1 Billy, let's talk again. Billy, Billy's just heard all this.

Speaker 10 Are you concerned about a negative feedback loop with that, though?

Speaker 10 No, no, if you stop taking it, your body's going to stop producing it.

Speaker 4 No, because

Speaker 4 once I found out it was going to be on the banned substance, because the NFL were releasing, it's like BPC starting January, whatever year, is going to be illegal. Then you just stop taking it.

Speaker 1 What is this video? What's going on? She's playing a video.

Speaker 8 So this is a podcast, so there's a strong audio.

Speaker 1 Oh, some random...

Speaker 2 The video of Will getting shot in his knee.

Speaker 1 Hey, wait, you put like DMX.

Speaker 1 Show the listeners what I'm saying. BPC isn't like that.
Even people watching YouTube don't get to see that.

Speaker 4 Billy, Billy, BPC is not a compound that's going to, like, it doesn't raise testosterone levels.

Speaker 4 It's not one of those things you get off it and you feel like shit. Like, you literally just take it and you just, it just feels, you feel better.
You just feel fucking better. That's all it is.

Speaker 4 I want to feel better.

Speaker 4 Inflammation is just

Speaker 4 pain relief.

Speaker 1 We've looked it up.

Speaker 4 It's incredible. It is truly, it's one of the best.

Speaker 1 No downside. Yeah.
No, no, no downside. Nothing.
We'll find out a long time. Yeah, that's how I like all my drugs.

Speaker 1 All right, you guys want to guess a number? So this will count officially. Hank's not here.

Speaker 1 So are we going to double up for today's show?

Speaker 6 Or is this?

Speaker 9 This is going to be on Monday's show.

Speaker 1 We'll double up. It's a a Monday show.

Speaker 6 We'll do a regular one.

Speaker 1 This will count official.

Speaker 1 August numbers, August 17.

Speaker 8 Okay.

Speaker 8 I'll guess 77.

Speaker 4 God damn it.

Speaker 5 51.

Speaker 4 99.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Go ahead.

Speaker 5 I think there's no chance of 99.

Speaker 1 Billy's going to say the other day. It hit the other day.
It hit on fourth.

Speaker 1 It's at his moment. It's at his moment.
Not only has Hank not gotten it, but JJ Watt, when he came on over to the Super Bowl, he was like, just guess 99.

Speaker 8 It's hit twice since which by the way uh and not too much context do you want to talk about when we came into your guys's podcast yeah that was awesome JJ do you want to talk about yeah no that's fine yeah it was it was definitely a life experience it was a good life experience for me so it was I'll set the stage real quick it was at the Super Bowl we just interviewed JJ Watt it was I think his first interview since he retired and uh we had a great chat with him it was it was wonderful and uh 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 JJ's like well, because he spit on my brother.

Speaker 8 Yeah. And instantly we're like, oh, yeah, that makes sense.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I agree with you that you're probably on your side here. We love these guys.

Speaker 8 But then as we're wrapping up, Will and Taylor with like five camera guys come through the door and confront JJ. And it felt like we were.

Speaker 1 JJ thought he was getting trapped. And we're like, dude, we didn't set this up.

Speaker 4 Well, that's not true because you did say you should come in.

Speaker 1 I said meet him after. Like, you came in right as we were finishing.

Speaker 4 Was he not texting us when we were at the camera?

Speaker 1 But I also didn't think you were going to come in with five cameras.

Speaker 5 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 in to ambush back.

Speaker 1 Right. You can see how it looks that way.
But it was cool. It was for the better.

Speaker 4 You guys talked to me. It wasn't for the better.
And bringing the five cameras in. It's kind of like

Speaker 4 we're at Barstool's vacation HQ. 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.

Speaker 4 So you just kind of bring the cameras in.

Speaker 1 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. But everyone.

Speaker 1 Every side of it was like, whoops. Yep.

Speaker 4 Sometimes there's got to be some conflict before cooperation.

Speaker 1 Awesome.

Speaker 1 And it was so tough.

Speaker 1 Will was just like, what's going on now?

Speaker 1 You did what?

Speaker 4 During your guys' conversation, like he came in. Obviously, he says something under his breath, like, is this an ambush or something? And you guys had to like reassure him.

Speaker 4 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 to get into conversation.

Speaker 4 And it was so uncomfortable, but I was like, I got to get fucking through this. Yes.
Yes, because at the end of the day, I do feel really bad about spitting on TJ's face.

Speaker 4 I know I said it as a joke and stuff like that before. It did actually happen.

Speaker 1 No, and I could tell too, because we talked about it afterwards. There was genuine remorse.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there was genuine remorse. And hopefully, we're going to build to maybe someday having the Watt brothers on the bus.

Speaker 4 It's almost like I don't know. Maybe.

Speaker 1 Maybe. No, listen.
I'm not sure if I can do it. Instead of them.

Speaker 4 Instead of them coming on the podcast, just them to

Speaker 4 know that I'm actually sorry.

Speaker 1 I don't even care if they come on. I don't even care if I just.
I care.

Speaker 4 And have we we officially agreed that you're no longer spitting on anybody's face because i i asked you about that it did take a lot of l's for that during that week it was definitely a barstool turn on taylor vibe

Speaker 4 will's dinner and then the spitting i'll tell you

Speaker 8 what happened was like i i 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 are you no longer going to spit on anybody's face is that is that shot out of your bag right now and you're like i don't know if i can promise that and so yeah 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 tailor 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 i probably won't spit on anybody are you retired probably

Speaker 1 so here you go you know what let's retire

Speaker 1 let's retire from spitting on people today probably let's retire from you don't want to retire from spitting on people That's tough to let you know.

Speaker 4 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll retire from spitting on people.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's huge. I don't know if I believe that.
Doesn't he fearmonger you?

Speaker 4 Nah, bro, it's all good. Sometimes you got to grow, dude.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 what were your numbers again? You're 99.

Speaker 4 99. 51.

Speaker 4 Hey, that was a fucking move.

Speaker 8 77? That was a fucking move.

Speaker 1 All right. Hey,

Speaker 1 should we talk about the dinner?

Speaker 5 I'm just kidding.

Speaker 17 No, just gay, just dude.

Speaker 1 We didn't do enough content about that.

Speaker 1 All right. All right, here we go.

Speaker 1 This would be awesome if you guys got it.

Speaker 8 Hey, we should do that.

Speaker 1 Taylor's got 99. You get on 99.
That's a good good one.

Speaker 1 51, 51.

Speaker 6 Niam says one, IV.

Speaker 1 Oh, I just saw 51 pop through.

Speaker 1 75. Oh, close.

Speaker 5 Man, it's such a letdown when nothing happens.

Speaker 1 Dude, imagine never getting it.

Speaker 1 A tank? Yeah, never.

Speaker 1 You guys have all hit it? I bought this machine from China three years ago. Never gotten it.

Speaker 4 You've never gotten it? He's never gotten it. That's tough.
Yeah. Hey, we should do something like this.

Speaker 1 We really should. We should do this on it.

Speaker 1 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. Titanium, we're going to make some punk content.
Yes, it's going to be great.

Speaker 4 You guys do need to come on. 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, we did.

Speaker 1 Actually, I mean, George did ask us to come to the initial one.

Speaker 4 He did say that on our podcast.

Speaker 17 Yeah. So.

Speaker 5 George is such a fun-loving dude.

Speaker 1 And he's really good friends with us specifically.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 8 Yeah, but 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?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, he has.

Speaker 1 He takes over when Taylor's not.

Speaker 1 Has George ever done a dab for you after screwing a touchdown in the NFC championship game because it was your birthday?

Speaker 5 No, but I've never asked him.

Speaker 1 My birthday's

Speaker 1 in Spotify. It sounds like he can never do it.
Do you think he did it for me?

Speaker 5 Do you think George is an AWL?

Speaker 1 He was originally, yes. Over a boy? Yeah, I think if you hit him with True Serum.

Speaker 5 Should we call him?

Speaker 1 No, no, we don't have to to put him on the spot

Speaker 1 I'll call him

Speaker 1 I'll call him

Speaker 8 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 so that's on Hank.
So if he's if he says you guys, it's because of Hank.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's not us.

Speaker 8 Who's not gotten a lot of vote on?

Speaker 1 Who's the next time or call?

Speaker 5 I just called.

Speaker 15 What'd you call?

Speaker 5 George.

Speaker 1 That is my name.

Speaker 5 Hey, we need you, brother.

Speaker 5 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 1 Don't want to go. No, okay, okay.

Speaker 1 George.

Speaker 5 No, all I meant was we need an answer out of you.

Speaker 1 No, no, hang on, whoa, whoa, whoa, easy, easy. Why are you still? George, George.
It's Big Cat.

Speaker 1 The boys are with us in the PMT studio. We were saying, huh, I remember the time when

Speaker 1 you were talking.

Speaker 5 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 far as just a good dude.

Speaker 1 Just a good dude.

Speaker 5 Yeah, just a dude. But we were like, what do you think George is more of? An AWL or a boy?

Speaker 5 Oh, wow.

Speaker 15 Are you asking me which one I prefer?

Speaker 1 Yes, George. Yeah, like if we're a big cat and PFT here.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 If we were standing facing each other, about to.

Speaker 1 If we were on fire, who if you had one bucket of water? There you go.

Speaker 8 George, you remember when you were rookie and we met you downstairs last time?

Speaker 5 George remembers all of it.

Speaker 8 Like, if he picked you guys, that was the best night of my life.

Speaker 5 Both of us were all on fire. You got two buckets of water.
Who are you dumping them on? But you decide.

Speaker 1 You can only pick a side. You can only pick a side.
You can pick one of each. No, actually, you do whatever you want.

Speaker 1 i pick will and big cat oh all right will we're good

Speaker 1 that's

Speaker 1 up

Speaker 1 all right that's a win that's fucked up will no that was smart of him because all right all right all right all right

Speaker 4 all the shit with theo vaughn you know he's more on theo vaughn side than us after saying that answer well he said me so i'm alive hey guys i'm dead guys just a heads up this is getting desperate out of you

Speaker 15 awl awl or boy joy he just picked it he picked strictly just because i have hosted both of the podcasts with big i did an episode i hosted with big cat and then i did episodes I've done episodes where I've hosted with Will.

Speaker 15 And Taylor also went to Michigan.

Speaker 1 Diplomatic answer.

Speaker 8 Also, if I died, then he would just take my spot.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right.

Speaker 5 But, George, so AWL or boy?

Speaker 15 But Juan would take two bucks of water. So,

Speaker 15 just because of how big of a person he is.

Speaker 1 So, like, that I can't, I can't only save one guy.

Speaker 4 That weirdly made me feel water.

Speaker 1 Taylor would probably be like, oh, all you got is water.

Speaker 1 I was hoping you had HGH. There it is.
All right, there you go.

Speaker 5 So, George, AWL or boy? boy?

Speaker 1 Hold up, Big.

Speaker 1 There it is.

Speaker 4 Who would he host for?

Speaker 15 Chagan?

Speaker 6 in the streets of Brooklyn. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, he was at the same place I was eating lunch. Right.
But just mind, he's very unassuming.

Speaker 1 Was he? Very nice guy. Held the umbrella for me.
Yeah, it's all well.

Speaker 9 Biggest umbrella of all time.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, kind of a beat of it.

Speaker 6 That's what happens in tennis. The ball boys, when they're sitting, they hold it under the player.

Speaker 1 So he was my ball boy. Pretty much.
Yeah. Yeah.
No, he's a very nice guy. Yeah.
Very good looking, too. Very good looking.

Speaker 9 Eagles? Love you guys. Eels.

Speaker 1 No, but like, literally, they might go into the center of the earth.
