We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue. And then we'll take it higher.
Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue. Presented by Barstool Sports.
Welcome to Pardon My Take. Today is Wednesday, April 12th, and we've got NBA playoffs.
Kind of NBA play-in game. We're watching OT right now.
There's 35 seconds left. Live it up, PFT.
We have NBA playoffs. it no so it's uh they were very specific about this in the early game it's not a playoff game it's technically a non-regular season game so these stats don't count towards the playoffs they don't count towards the regular season it's its own thing it's no man's land the timberwolves are right now down by three points with 35 seconds left in overtime.
This game sucked.

This game, the fourth quarter was was so bad i think everybody out there with a pulse that's ever seen basketball or heard of the state of minnesota before knew that the timberwolves were going to give this up the lakers were going to come back the nba david stern was going to figure out a way for for LeBron James to advance to the playoffs well and it's not even the Lakers playing well the T-Wolves just they were so hot from three for the first half they were lights out they were playing a great game everyone was like Rudy Gobert who now we can play five out we've got all this flexibility Carl Anthony Towns is playing great even though just kept on giving him fouls. And every time he had to sit, the Lakers would crawl back.
And then we got to the fourth quarter and they scored a combined 31 points in the fourth quarter. The Timberwolves scored 12 points.
The Timberwolves didn't score. They scored their last field goal with six minutes left in the game.
The next time they scored was Anthony Davis. This is how dumb the game was.
The Lakers go up by three with a second and a half left. Memes tweets it from the Pardon My Take account, game winner.
Anthony Davis fouls Mike Conley shooting a three from basically behind the basket. The Tibberwolves hadn't scored in fucking six minutes.
Danny fouls Mike Conley shooting a three up three with one second left. They get three foul shots.
The first barely made it. Oh, he was nervous.
The second and the third were both extremely shaky from Conley, even though Conley played awesome tonight. This was a great game for Mike Conley.
That was awesome. Former teammate of Mark Titus.
He hasn't mentioned that. Yeah, also, I took a piss next to Ed Sheeran one time.
But yeah, Mike Conley played basketball with Mark Titus. Great game, legacy game, under the bright lights of the play-in tournament for Mike Conley.
And the Timberwolves scored with 0.1 seconds left on the clock. And then they didn't score until overtime with a put-back layup.
We almost just got double overtime there for a second. Oh, you're a little ahead of me, shit.
I hope we don't get good double overtime. Don't stream snipe Hank.
Yeah, damn, you stream snipe me, Hank. And now it's probably going to happen when we get the live reaction.
I don't know what's happening. I'm watching on my computer.
So I'm a cord cutter like all the new kids. But yeah, this game, this game.
Oh, man. Oh, shit.
You're right. We almost did.
They bricked a number another three. This game was so bad, though.
This game was revenge for everyone who said, why would you watch March Madness? It's just a bunch of dudes missing shots and throwing the ball out of bounds because there was that sequence where the Timberwolves just missed every shot, and then, like, LeBron threw one out of bounds. There was the loose ball foul.
Like, everyone just sucked. And here's my thing with the play-in tournament.
I like it in theory because more basketball, more fun. These teams suck.
These teams aren't going to, like, I need a play-in tournament team to win a title for me to start respecting the play-in tournament. Because the NBA playoffs, like, historically are the, you know, the top seeds are usually the teams that you see at the end of the whole thing.
You know what I mean? We're just deciding who's going to go get – maybe the Lakers will – ESPN will tell us tomorrow the Lakers, watch out for them. They're going to take down the Grizzlies.
Maybe the Hawks are going to go after Hank Celtics. I don't think so.
Like, the Heat were so bad tonight. We'll get to them in a second.
But, like, at the end of the day, these teams are just not, none of these teams are going to win a title. Well, the eight teams in the play in tournament are not going to win a title.
So people forget the reason the plan tournament was basically started much like Harry Potter and the goblet of fire got admitted to the tri wizard tournament as a fourth wizard. They wanted to get Zion Williamson into the playoffs, his rookie year.
So they were like okay tell you what let's have let's have the pelicans we'll do we'll do like a special thing where the pelicans can technically play some some playoff games and get ratings on it also the nba just wants another event to slap a sponsor on so they're like okay it's the play-in tournament presented by at&t that's another five $5 million. Well, it also was built in as, you know, credit to the NBA for actually trying to get tanking to stop, which they've made measures to, you know, like flattening the top three picks in the lottery and everything.
So the play-in is part of that where you can still be in the playoffs and you shouldn't tank if you're one of these bad teams that's under 500 that could be in the 10th seed. But the Mavericks pissed all over that this year.

So, like, the Mavericks, like, after watching this game,

the NBA should stop their investigation against the Mavericks

because the Mavericks were like, hey, we'd rather a draft pick

than play in this play-in tournament.

And I agree with their decision.

Yes, 100%.

Yeah, absolutely.

You think the Thunder are going to get lucky, win win two games and then get to the NBA finals the thunder are the only team you could say well they're getting reps young team shea like they're getting reps next year chet they're getting right you can always flip it where it's like well that team needs some needs some reps. That's big time playoff pressure for them.

A lot of guys who haven't been there.

Well, the Pelicans are doing the exact same.

The Pelicans are just like Zion is not going to play because of reasons.

And just trust us on that one.

Did you see he released a statement today?

He said he feels good, but he's not going to play until he feels like Zion again.

Yeah.

So you remember when he was coming back from, I don't know, this is like four injuries ago,

where they had him practicing on like a special trampoline like a small floor a soft floor zion's just never going to be healthy and uh he said that he's sick of this shit and he would like to play and he is healthy but he's not himself right now so that's just basically zion being like yeah you know i'd really like to but they pay me anyways so why would i exercise if they're going to give me money? Right, right. So it looks like this game is over.
Hank, do you want to tell us this game's over? Is it officially over? You're faster than us. No, it's not over yet.
Okay, well, let's just say the Lakers have advanced to play against the Grizzlies. Maybe they can beat the Grizzlies.
Oh, they just showed Rob Lowe slash Rob Palenka uh watching his team the playing game four four number one picks in this playing game that's how you know it was official I have a fun fact yeah so this is now the first time that all four teams from California have made the NBA playoffs okay so that that's off of my other fun fact that I was throwing did I throw it out to you guys yesterday i can't remember i it's so late that i've lost my mind i'm not in this is football shape we're not in football shape this is also the first time since the mavericks became a franchise in 1981 i want to say that no teams from texas made the playoffs oh wow yeah wow so it's like a reverse of all those companies that moved to texas like twitter all that first joe rogan we're going back yeah yeah yeah exactly all right so the lakers have advanced the t wolves let's say let's let's do some positive spin zones for the t wolves okay one i think they're better without rudy gobert yeah like legitimately you you can make the case on defense that they need somebody like that to protect the rim, but on offense, they are. I don't think it's even a debate right now.
They work better with the exception of the last six minutes of the game. They work better on offense without him.
Two, you get a home game now. Wolves are undefeated in home play-in games that will be electric three i don't think anthony will uh anthony uh edwards can play worse than he played tonight he was so so bad oh for nine from three three for 17 shooting look lost out there respect to him for he kept shooting at least he's like one's one's got to go in at some point he's the And then it just never went.
I tweeted this out, but you remember how when you were in, like when you were playing basketball when you were in elementary, middle school, and the coach showed you a hoop, a basketball hoop, and then put two balls inside of it? It was like, look how big this rim is. You should be able to make these shots easily.
That's what they needed to do for Anthony Edwards tonight because he was so bad, so so bad so bad and kept shooting so there's your spin zone like and you have luca garza on the bench who's ready to go he would he was not dressed tonight but uh dennis schroeder did the the three-point celebration right in luca garza's face i feel like that was a little too much because like what can luca do yeah he's not out there. Hopefully we can get some protesters gluing their hands to the floor in Minnesota.
That would be nice. Run that back.
So Friday night we'll find out who the Timberwolves play after tomorrow's games. Let's talk about the other game, the death of heat culture.
Jake, it's over. And I'm not trying to just be a prisoner of the moment, but they got absolutely bullied 63 to 39 on the rebounds, absolutely bullied.
And in a reverse, like how we just said, Anthony Edwards couldn't play worse. I don't think Kyle Lowry could play better.
They got the best Kyle Lowry game and they still lost. Uh, I, I was like, I thought the heat were gonna win I still believe in Heat culture I think it might be dead they got absolutely bullied yeah uh Clint Capella had more offensive rebounds than the Heat did as a team Clint Capella was awesome tonight Clint Capella had an all-time stat line he was two for three from the floor 0 for four from free throws and 21 rebounds yeah yeah Yeah.
Yeah. I bet on him to get a double double tonight.
Would have been nice to spread some of those stats around a little bit, but yeah, he was, he was a beast and it got off to a weird start because the, the article came out quoting people from the, the Hawks front office that they were open to shopping everyone, including Trey young before the game started. And so this was like trey young revenge game on his own his own franchise essentially being like fuck you i'm gonna show you what i can still do um yeah it was it was a great game quinn snyder did a great job quinn snyder i think we can say like very good coach if you need if you need one guy to win you one nba game with like an average roster quinn snyder's probably best guy out there to do it.
He's a very good coach. The Hawks are the play in champions.
They are three and oh, all time in play in games. So they deserve that crown.
Um, a couple other things I was thinking about it. So 63 to 39 on rebounds.
I think that's the third largest, point mark 24 point margin you can have so i was thinking i wrote them all out this is this sounds very stupid it's one in the morning i think 43 19 is a bigger margin oh yeah yeah no and i think 94 69 is also a bigger margin and then 63 39 i've talked about this before with like 14 point games in football there are some scores that are way more than 14 points i would say like 10 to 24 um pretty big 14 point margin but not as big no the yeah not as big as 9 to 23 9 to 31 17 31 17 is another big one yeah. Anytime you can jump double digits, that's more than 14 points.

Yeah, yeah.

So that's my quick power rankings of 24-point differences.

So it's 43-19, 94-69, 63-39.

Again, this is one in the morning thought.

I literally wrote them all out.

I wish you could see my computer right now because I was writing them all out, and 33-9 was like, well, that's early in the morning thought no it's i literally wrote them all out yeah i wish you could see my computer right now because i was writing them all out and 33 9 was like well that's early in the game they'll they'll catch up you know it feels large but you're like that can't be the end of the game yeah no all numbers are not 69 25 93 69 whatever fucking jake oh wow jake jake's with a fact. Jake's spicy tonight because his heat's stuck.
93.69.

Yeah. Jake, what do you want to say?

Your heat culture... Jimmy Butler had like a tweet that

like a

post-game comment that sounded

like a fan tweeted it with like three

followers. He said, come Friday

we have to play the legit exact

opposite of how we played tonight.

Yeah, I mean... Pretty good summation.
good offensive rebounding by atlanta was insane i have a question jake basketball if you let's pretend you're the basketball gym let's pretend you're you're pat riley do you think having a roster with the only powerful bam is a power forward playing center. So when you put him at center, your other two power forwards are Kevin Love, who we love, and Udominus Haslam, who's 55 years old.
Do you think that might be a roster construction issue? I've always believed in Pat Riley. He always seems to be making the right moves.
So it seems like this is going to be a hardcore reset after this year obviously mr 305 is departing so i think there's a lot of pressure on him to reshuffle some things over the summer yeah i mean in in pat riley's defense like udonis haslam got old fast you know like no one's thought you saw that one coming you thought you could rely on got him a rock and get you some rebound retirement yeah he might come back next year i i'm not going to believe that he's retired until he actually retires it but it was one of those things i was looking at the the box where i was like huh like i love haslam great like who wouldn't want to have his career where you can just basically hang out on a team for the twilight of years and just be a guy and, like, hang out?

He hasn't played in, like, five years.

I know.

I know what I'm saying.

It's been a long twilight.

So did Mack McClung, dude.

It was the last game of the year.

But in reality, you probably want your power forwards to not be Udonis Haslam and Kevin Love in a play-in game. Or have Bambi your power forward and have a center.
That could also work. Sounds like you're saying or any game.
Or any game. Or any game.
Or any game. I guess Cody Zeller's also on the roster, which is always a fun name to say.
Shout out Charles Barkley for telling people

just don't watch the first round of the Eastern playoff games.

That was awesome.

I'm sure his bosses were very happy to say that.

They were.

They were happy.

His bosses?

Yeah.

In what way?

Because he does the West.

Oh, I thought that TNT was going to be broadcasting the Eastern games. Don't they always do the West? I think it switches.
Do they do both? They do the Western Conference Finals. I don't know how the first round.
The first round, I think they kind of bounce around. Those are going to be on TNT.
It's going to be Charles Barkley doing the halftime show. And he's like, just do yourselves a favor.
Don't watch the first round of the playoffs. I love it.
That's why people love charles barkley he's being honest and he's the only person in sports media that can get away with that type of comment not get in trouble for it i feel like and but but it was back to what my the playing game talk like these teams aren't going to go anywhere i know that people are going to try to tell us the lakers are going to go somewhere. They're not going to go anywhere.
And you can quote this and tweet it, whatever.

The Hawks aren't going to go anywhere.

The Heat, the Bulls, the Raptors aren't going to go anywhere.

It's just a fact.

I just think there's no chance that the Hawks can do what they did tonight against the Celtics on the glass.

It's just not going to happen.

No.

And they don't play defense.

The good news is if the Heat do make it to the playoffs. And the Celtics do.
Yeah, the Celtics do play. If the Heat do make it to the playoffs, they're going up against a team that can't rebound at all in the Milwaukee Bucks.
Wait. Shit.
I forgot they have Giannis. That's going to be.
I mean, I don't want to watch i mean i don't want to watch that i don't want to watch that uh hank your scared meter for the hawks is it it can't be zero uh i mean if it can't be zero then it's one okay that's fair well it can't be zero just because like we'll get we'll give them one game just because it's the nba you never know what's going to happen. Maybe they win a home game, Celtics in five.
If it goes six, something went seriously wrong. It can't be zero just because I've learned when Max's Sixers were the eighth seed and took down the Bulls when Derrick Rose got hurt, you could always have an injury.
So it can't be zero. Yeah.
But that's really the only thing i think we already have we already have the

hand injury oh yeah thank you would you say like if you stay fully healthy it's gonna be whomping i think even if jalen or jason doesn't play it's gonna be whomping i think it's gonna be one it's gonna be four one and trey young has one insane game yeah he's gonna talk so much shit that so much shit. That feels like...
But it could be 4-0. They could just lock him down.
Yeah, this is... I mean, we'll see.
I mean, the Heat... Maybe the Bulls will play the Heat, Jake.
That would be fun. See who can go get mascot by the Bucs.
I think we're all in agreement now. Just give me the Celtics, the Buc, and give us all the popcorn.
Oh, damn. That was way worse than my 94-93.
Celtics and the Sixers, and we can watch whatever happens on the show. Whatever happens.
How much popcorn are you talking about here, Jake? Kettle corn. I'm going to hold you to this.
A lot. Kettlecorn.
That's dangerous. That's dangerous for your teeth.
You can't eat a ton of kettlecorn. That's also not popcorn.
It's Cavity City. You don't eat kettlecorn when you're watching sports, Jake.
I don't remember the last time I ate any popcorn watching sports. But yes, it's not sold.
You eat kettlecorn when there's a little dish of kettlecorn just in the kitchen. You're like i'll just grab a little hand yeah no knock on good but you can't sit down and eat a whole bag of kettle corn i've done it yeah you can at like king king richard's fair you're just going to like you know an old an old an old renaissance fair just crush some kettle corn but that's not a little more salt that's like that's like holiday food you have it around the holiday.
What do you mean? Renaissance was the original sport. You don't some kettle corn.
But that's not a little more salt. That's like holiday food.

You have it around the holiday. What do you mean?

Renaissance was the original sport. You don't eat

kettle corn when you're watching sports on TV.

How about that? I'm going to change that

if the Celtics play the Sixers.

If the Celtics play the Sixers,

you need to eat an entire bag of kettle

corn for every day. Yep.

You said give me all

the popcorn, Jake. Give me all the kettle corn.
One full bag of kettle corn. Can't be a small bag.
Has to be like a real bag of kettle corn every single game. Okay, now I'm rooting for Celtic Sixers.
Just watch Jake eat kettle corn. I don't even want to watch the games.
I just want to watch Jake eat his kettle corn and get sick of kettle corn. And we do get Lakers grizzlies which will be fun i'm excited for that and you know what i'll listen to enough people tomorrow on tv and i'll probably be like watch out for the lakers because they just trot everyone out to be like the lakers could do something and then i'll just be like fuck it maybe the lakers could do something they mightzzlies.
I could see them winning that series. The Lakers, I think the Lakers are sneaky good.
The NBA is kind of rigged. I can take this back if the Celtics win the championship.
But like that game was, there's some NBA games when you're like, you just know what's going to happen. It didn't matter what happened the whole game.
You just knew the Lakers were going to win. The Lakers are good.
They beat a Timberwolves team that some people were saying could win the NBA title this year. No, you never said that.
You never said that. I said could.
No, no, no. They beat a team.
I want to defend you. Some media members that don't know ball were saying that the Minnesota Timberwolves could win potentially two series.
Yeah, because you never said they could win the title. You said you bet on them to win the title because they could win two series and then you could hedge out.
Yeah. You didn't even bet on a team that you thought could win the title.
No, no, no. They definitely can't win the title, but I did bet on them to win the title, and I still think that was a good bet.
Value play. Yeah, Grizzlies, Lakers.
But, Hank, you're right your put your tinfoil hat on what does the nba want more than anything in the second round six or celtics so jake can eat all his kettle corn and lakers warriors so we can have steph first lebron one last time before lebron retires yeah i mean what they really would like would be another Celtics-Lakers finals. Talk about race.
That would be sick. But if you lost to LeBron, Hank, you would actually...
I don't want to say, but you'd have to. You'd have to kill yourself.
Retire? Yeah, I'd retire. I'd retire.
There's nothing you could do. I'd retire.
You'd retire from life. All right.
Let's kick it to ourselves. Back in studio, we have an awesome interview with Adam Richman in studio as well.
Really fun guy. You probably remember him from Man vs.
Food. Basically did the job we all wanted to do.
And yeah. And back to us, Hot Seat Cool Throne.
I used to think that sandwiches were just, you know, basic until I realized how easy it is to level them way up. It's all about starting with the best ingredients.
Lately, I've been obsessed with this sandwich, boar's head ever roast chicken, a little smoked gouda, arugula, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze on toasted ciabatta. Just a few simple swaps and suddenly it feels like something that I'd order at a fancy cafe.

And that's why I always go for Boar's Head.

The quality, the craftsmanship, the fresh premium flavors that turn an everyday sandwich into something next level.

So if you're tired of the same old lunch, try upgrading with Boar's Head.

Head to the deli counter, grab your favorites, and see just how easy it is to make every bite amazing. Discover the craftsmanship behind every bite at your local Boar's Head deli counter.
Okay, Hatsi Coutron. Henry.
Hatsi's love. Oh, no.
I don't like that. Taylor Swift and her boyfriend broke up.
Yeah, it's tough. Although.
Swifties all over the world are breaking up with their boyfriends now in solidarity. Isn't this good thing, though? Because it means that we're going to get some bangers out of Taylor Swift.
There's nothing like a good Taylor Swift breakup album. I had a little debate with our colleague Kelly Keegs, who is, I think, number one.
Noted Swiftie. Noted Swiftie.
Very funny. Love working with her.
Taylor's the problem. I mean, didn't she have that as a lyric, too? Yeah, it's me.
Hi, it's me. I'm the problem.
She is the problem. She is emotionally not vulnerable enough, so every time she breaks up and everyone's like, oh, my God, it's so sad.
No, no, no. Taylor's the problem.
Of course. Of course she is.
Yeah, she did admit it, but this is a good thing. I'm telling you, if you're a fan of music, having a Taylor Swift break, you know what? It's about to be another sad girl autumn.
That's fine. It's going to be great.
I like Taylor Swift. The leaves are going to turn.
What's that mean for the summer? It means single girl Taylor. You know what we should do? What we should do is- That's fun.
We should try to get Billie with Taylor Swift and just have Billie break her heart so we can get more bangers. On the drive to the 405, we spent like two hours talking about ways we'd be terrible boyfriends to Taylor Swift to make her have the best album.
Yeah, just like completely emotionally neglect her and just drive her insane. See, I think she does that to her boyfriends.
No, no, but we'd play it back. Now you'd fall in love and then she'd break your heart.
No, no. And then she'd spin it.
Leave her at the date and don't pay the bill. Start dating her mom.
You're just being a scumbag. Yeah, you should be a scumbag to Taylor.
I'm going to call her right now. She's going to date Pete Davidson.
It's going to happen. That's kind of tacky for her.
Nah, I think she went from a British actor. Single girl summer.
He's the perfect rebound for her. Maybe hook up, not date.
She'll be photographed with Pete Davidson. She's not going to date.
She's not going to date. You know what we should do? This will be our viral clip for this show.
All right, who you got? Taylor Swift or Beyonce? It's Taylor Swift easy. Nah.
It's so easy. It's all day.
It's so easy. I'm scared of the Beyonce.
That Coachella performance, Taylor can never. You can't.
No one can name a single Beyonce song. Lemonade.
Single ladies? Who runs the world? I'm just trying to get people mad at us. Girls.
Girls. No one knows a single Beyonce song, right? No idea.
No idea. Isn't she, like, old? Yeah, she's super old.
Taylor Swift, much Taylor Swift much better vocalist wait single ladies Rihanna or Beyonce it's Beyonce yeah to the left to the left all the single oh oh oh if I was a boy all these single all the single ladies. Oh, you're singing ladies.
All the single ladies. Tell one song.
Under my umbrella. Ella.
That's Rihanna. That's Rihanna.
Don't. Rihanna trumps all of them.
I'm aware, Hank. We're trying to go fucking viral here.
I will say it's a legacy tour right now for Taylor Swift. She's in the middle of her tour right now.
She's in Tampa this weekend. New York, I think end of May.
So like maybe the fans this weekend who are going, we'll just get like an extra banger. Here's my point.
I, I like Taylor Swift. I don't want the Swifties to come after me.
I know they're very passionate. I just like, she, she clearly is, you know, breaking up with these guys and then having everyone be like, Oh, poor Taylor.
She is not letting herself become emotionally vulnerable and finding love love should trump all and it's fine if she wants her career over love that's great but don't cry me a river when you're like you know 70 years old by yourself taylor not that she will be no i mean i'm very scared of the swifties very if you can tell i'm very i'm couching all my language i don't i don't know who out there would disagree with you about that because she's very clearly, yeah, it's probably tough to date Taylor Swift. Yeah.
She's just too tall. Lana Del Rey is the true goat, though.
That was unnecessary. Lana Del Rey? No, I love Lana Del Rey.
She just got engaged. Oh, no.
Yeah, she had a breakup. Damn.
She just dropped a new album that was killer after the breakup. There's a tunnel under Ocean's Boulevard.
You know what? In the spirit of solidarity amongst dudes, I'm sick of dudes having their hearts broken by Taylor Swift. That's what I'm saying.
As guys, we should all band together and say we should go on strike from dating Taylor Swift. And the Swifties are so strong.
It's kind of a joke, but there's definitely...

She has such a big fan base,

even if it's 1% of 1% of the diehards

that are like,

Taylor Swift broke up with her boyfriend,

I'm breaking up with mine.

That 100% has happened all over the world.

Yes.

Likewise, all dudes,

if you're a real dude,

you're not dating Taylor Swift this summer.

I stand with...

What's his name?

Joe Alwyn. Joe Alwyn.
He's's gonna release the best movie of all time yeah there you go go joe allen go i just found out who you were like two days ago but i've been a big fan for life i didn't even know his name i just wrote taylor swift and her boyfriend broke up it's just sad that that that walk down cornelia street will never happen again no. All right, your cool throne? My cool throne is Jon Rahm's dad.
Yeah, Hank, you're stealing all of mine. Oh, my bad.
That was going to be my cool throne. Sorry.
You killed him. Can I take it? You killed him.
I have another one. I have another one.
So cool throne is Jon Rahm's dad. Turns out still very much alive.
So shout out John Rahm's dad.

I think he hugged him right after the Masters. He did.

So I got confused because Jim Nance was talking about how it was Seve Ballesteros' birthday.

Seve, obviously, major champion, Spanish golf icon.

And I was probably looking between screens at the time, and my brain morphed that all

into one story.

So John Rahm's dad is still very much alive. Early front runner for still alive person of the year you Florioed him yeah so yeah I mean yeah Florio's with Terry Terry Bradshaw he killed Terry Brad at some point when Terry Bradshaw dies Florio will have been the first to report it that's true hopefully hopefully Mr.
Rahm has a a long life ahead of. Can see his son win several more green jackets.

Yeah.

But still, allow us to be the first to report that John Rom's dad is not dead.

No, allow us to be the first to congratulate John Rom's dad on not being dead.

Yeah, congrats.

Yes, that's a huge thing.

You did it.

A lot of people die all the time.

You didn't.

Yep.

So think about that.

Survivor.

Yeah, absolutely.

Tough as nails. Of fake deaths, as reported by this podcast.
He survived that shit. Yep.
Okay. Another cool thing was baseball.
Yeah? The pitch clock has been great. I've been a pretty known baseball hater probably since the existence of this podcast.
I played it a lot growing up. Got super bored watching it as I got older.
But I'm getting into it. I like the speed of the games it makes a lot more watchable it's i've watched more baseball this spring than probably the entire last two years combined they also changed another rule that goes along with the pitch clock rule which is uh they're extending beer sales into the eighth inning now which is huge because the game moves so much faster people were getting cut off earlier now you could also make the argument that well the eighth and ninth innings go by faster so they should cut off the beer sales earlier because not the same thing not us we would not make that argument but i think the brewers were the first team to extend beer sales makes sense into the yeah to the eighth inning so have you ever seen that that list when they do oh yeah do the 20 drunkest cities and towns in America? And I think 14 or 15 of them are in Wisconsin.
Yeah, no, they do a heat map of the drunkest people in America, and it's just bright, bright red in all of Wisconsin. Yeah.
People from Wisconsin aren't allowed to compete in a bunch of Mexican drink beer-chugging competitions. When you go down there, it's just like there's signs, no one from Wisconsin.
I think that's a joke, but yeah. No, I saw a picture of the sign.
Right, but it's like a resort joke? Yeah. No, it's real.
They have licensing, and it's a rule. It's a regulated body.
I don't know if Wisconsin still has this law, but for the longest time, the law was if you're with your parent, you can drink can drink in the bar. Yeah, I think it was over 18.
You could drink in the bar with your parent under 18. You could be in the bar with your.
Yeah. So in Texas, I was a bartender down there for a little bit.
You might have seen me in the in the Roadhouse commercial. But the law was that you can serve a drink to a kid as long as their parent orders it.
So you can serve it to the parent and then the parent can then hand the drink yeah to the child and then they can drink it how it should be done yep how it should be done uh what was wait what were you talking about oh the baseball baseball is it is awesome it goes by so much faster the game has it's what spent what does it feel like 20 years that we've been talking about how to fix baseball, and the answer's been steroids,

but now they've figured it out that you don't have to just do steroids.

Yeah, you can just make the bases slightly larger.

And just go faster.

Yep.

Double Rays, greatest team in MLB history.

The what Rays?

Double Rays.

I respect history.

Who picked them?

That was my cool throw.

So they're 10-0 right now.

Two teams have gone 13-0.

That's the record they're going for.

They're my World Series team.

Yeah.

I put a future on them.

Let's go.

See you next time. That was my cool throne.
So they're 10-0 right now. Two teams have gone 13-0.
That's the record they're going for. They're my World Series team.
Yeah. I put a future on them.
Let's go. Let's go race.
We probably just jinx them. They're probably going to lose tonight.
They're playing the Red Sox. Maybe Hank did that on purpose.
I also put a future on the Cubs at 100-1, but whatever. I think they're going to go.
No, no. All right.
Never mind. I've talked myself into the Cubs being scrappy enough to make the playoffs.
They're going to be sneaky. Not bad.
But I've now upgraded them to sneaky might make the playoffs. I like that.
We've gone up the ladder. I like tuning in and catching a stray Blue Jays game every now and again just because of all the sons they have on that team.
Yeah. And they've got...
I don't know if Biggio is starting for the Blue Jays or not, Kevin. But I saw him the other day.
There was a highlight of him leaning into pitches. So they show how they do the overlay of Bo Bichette and Dante Bichette and all the Suns, the Guerrero comparison where they show the swings back-to-back.
They showed Kevin Biggio leaning into a pitch just like his dad used to do. That's awesome.
He's going to be the next great player to get hit by pitches because his dad was fucking elite at it. I love it.
What were you going to say, Billy? I was just going to say going to the game now, since it's shorter. I used to like how a baseball game used to be a whole day activity.
Oh, see, I like that it's like a two and a half hour game is perfect. It was just like a good excuse to get away.
You just got to drink more beforehand. Yeah.
That's all. You got to get drunker.
Spend more time at the bar before the game. Also, the Cubs have the beer bats this year, which is sick.
If you put beer in a bat, I'm going to drink it. Also, I was going to use this as one of my cool thrones, but the Orioles, they are Team of Destiny vibes because they have the dong bong.
So I don't know if you guys seen this. After they hit a home run, they come back in the dugout, and they have a beer bong filled with water, and you hit the dong bong.

I love that.

That's incredible.

That's like the turnover chain was great, and then everyone's going to try and copy it.

It's not going to be as great, but the dong bong is unbelievable. The dong bong is fantastic.

I don't want to pick on anyone in this room, but if I were going to,

I'd say Philadelphia is a joke of a city for not being able to come up with the Dong Bong first. They win the World Series with the Dong Bong last year.
Oh, I thought you were going to say because they did a ring ceremony for coming in second place last year. I didn't know that.
They did a ring ceremony. Yeah, they gave everybody rings.
And on the ring, Big Cat, you know how when you win the World Series, I mean, Hank, you can probably relate to this. Big Cat, you can relate to this because we've all won World Series recently.
On the World Series ring, they typically have the scores of the games of the World Series. In this instance, they have the scores of all the games in the NLCS.
Oh, so not the no-hitter? There's no way this is a new thing. There's definitely teams that have done this.
I legit got sent.ant is the thing. I thought it was, oh, this is a funny fake thing.
Ha ha ha. I didn't even give it any mind.
It's an onion article. You want a pennant, not a ring.
Yeah. I get it.
I get it. There should be a pennant ceremony.
There's no, I need to do some research because I haven't done any. Do some research.
I know for certain that this is just a normal thing that all of a sudden this year people are trying to make a big deal. I wouldn't know.
We would have talked about it if any other team did a second-place ring ceremony. Max, Max, Max.
All right, I have a couple questions for you, Max. True or false, you guys win the World Series with the Dong Bong? True or false, you probably win the World Series with the Dong Bong.
They had the Red Sox rally song. No, true.
True or false, the Dong Bong should have been something that happened in Philadelphia first. Yeah, probably.
True or false, you got no hit in the World Series. False.
Okay. True or false? No, true or false, you stole the Red Sox rally song for your team.
You couldn't even have an original one. It wasn't a no-hitter.
It was a zero-hitter. We've established that.
But, yeah, the Dong-Bong rules. You guys should all check it out.
The Orioles are a very fun, young team that has, like, it's always awesome whenever a franchise that hasn't been good for a very long time has, like, all their good prospects seem to come up at the same time. That's the Orioles right now.
Adley Rush's awesome i might you know that one sandwich you always crave the one that just hits every single time for me it's a simple yet perfect combination boar's head oven gold turkey sliced thin piled high on fresh sourdough with a sharp cheddar crisp lettuce tomato a little mustard, and just a touch of mayo. Simple, but the flavors unreal.
And that's the thing. When you start with quality ingredients, you don't need to do much.
Boar's Head is my go-to because every bite tastes like it was made just for me. Premium cuts, incredible flavor, and that perfect balance of freshness.
So next time you're at the deli, do yourself a favor. Ask for Boar's Head and build your ultimate sandwich.
Trust me, you'll taste the difference. Head to your local Boar's Head deli and experience the craftsmanship behind every bite.
My hot seat is bars. Putting bars on the hot seat because YouTube just announced how much it was going to cost to do the Sunday ticket next year.
Oh, so this is it's moving forward. If you have YouTube TV, it's going to be three hundred forty nine dollars for a season.
Three hundred eighty nine dollars for a season if you bundle it with Red Zone. So, Billy, that's a steal.
It's it's actually not that much different than the direct tv prices from the years before but where it's going to get crazy for bars is i don't know if you guys know many bar owners or bar managers yeah no it sucks for them they're going to have to figure out how to get youtube on all their tvs at once and they are going to be completely lost week one of next year what's that hank well no that's not that's a brings up a good point do they have to have eight accounts is there going to be like because couldn't you then hypothetically do that in your own house with multiple tvs he bars have to pay a different like when bars buy direct tv they have to pay a different price than everyone else because they they're broadcasting for multiple people at once. Right.
So if you're

an industrious young person

out there and you're thinking of maybe

how you can make money next year,

just show up like two hours early to

a bar on Sundays and be like, I'll be

your YouTube TV consultant

and I'll figure out how to get all these games and all

these TVs. Because bar owners, week one,

it's going to be a shit show. What was the price?

It's $349 per season. $249 if you purchase before June 6th, and then $389 early if you bundle it with Red Zone.
My math isn't exactly right because obviously there's some weird like the Germany game and then there'll be like the Saturday games, but it comes out to about like $1.30 a game, which is the greatest deal of all time.

Yeah, but I thought I dropped the 80 for the YouTube TV, and I had all the games, I feel like.

Or I'm totally wrong on that.

You might have just been doing streams.

Yeah.

Bleep that out.

People get mad if you give up their shady streaming service.

You had the local.

You have whatever's like on CBS or Fox, which is one game.

There really is nothing like the war to X out all the pop-up ads when you get one of those streams. Oh, yeah.
It's got to go so fast. Yeah.
You're like, ah, fuck, fuck, fuck. And then you got the chat on the side.
The old school Justin TV guys know about the chat on the side. We were watching a San Diego Padres game in Lake Charles, and it was using one of those streaming things.
And just a giant black stripe across the center you couldn't even see the batter yeah or the pitcher or the catcher you were just going off like where the camera was falling watching a walk-off home run with a giant black stripe across the center of the screen was electric yeah it was so fun the other big problem with this is going to be that um i think uh recurring guest warren sharp pointed this out youtube their uh service, is about 54 seconds behind. It's got a lag behind reality.
So people are going to be watching on all different. Yeah.
Shit's going to get spoiled. We got to figure this out.
We thought that with Amazon Prime Thursday nights. It wasn't really the case so maybe they'll fix

it but there was no other what like you people couldn't but you can still watch these games yeah

but sometimes streams were still ahead but if everyone is on the same stream it doesn't matter

what he's saying is like you can watch your local team on regular tv yeah and youtube tv's behind

yeah and so it's gonna be a problem yeah it's gonna be the most chaotic that's how i used when

we first moved to new york i used to watch bears games on my xbox and it was like i'd be like

I'm going to go ahead and so it's gonna be a problem yeah it's gonna be the most chaotic that's how i used when we first moved to new york i used to watch bears games on my xbox and it was like i'd be like a series like a full set of downs behind yeah so it's gonna be crazy the week one if i'm so dumb though that if i see this i'm gonna watch the local game and i'm gonna think i have an edge in live betting no be like well it hasn't gone out on youtube yet yeah yeah fuck okay okay all right uh all right my hot seat is uh ugga 11 so i don't know if you guys saw ugga 10 uh also known as k uh q q q u e uh has retired so ugga 10 is the greatest ugga of all. Ugga 10 won back-to-back national titles.

Ugga 10 went 84-15 as the mascot of the Georgia Bulldogs.

It also evaded Bevo the Longhorn.

It also evaded Bevo the Longhorn.

The only other Ugga that could be potentially in the GOAT debate is Ugga 3,

who went 71-32 and also won a national title.

But I think it's Ugga 10 in a rout. Now Ugga 11.
How do you follow Ugga3 who went 71 and 32 and also won a national title but I think it's Ugga10 in a route now Ugga11 like how do you follow Ugga10 they have to clone Ugga10 it's it's crazy Ugga10 was the goat Ugga mascot he saw the the greatest years of Georgia football I also just started going down a little rabbit hole uh of the Uggas uh Ugga let's see, eight. That was a sad one.
He went four and two and then got cancer. And his epitaph on the, they all have like their gravestones, I think, in the stadium.
His was just he never had a chance, which is pretty sad. It's pretty sad.
Ugga four, not in the goat debate, but still a very good Ugga he was uh the dog of the decade that's pretty fucking cool yeah because he went from 81 to 90 uh what was the other one that was great uh i believe it was uh oh i'll go i'll go five was the one who bit the auburn player yeah so there's some notable uggas out there and there there was also, Oh, I'll go one was just damn good dog. Yeah.
Hell yeah. Like that.
That was great. And then I'll get two is not a bad, not bad for a dog.
Oh, that's, that's, that's so mean to Ugga too. Yeah.
Like what that you can't, you can't follow up with damn good dog. You can't have, ah, he was okay.
I just got, I just got really sad when I read, I'll go, uh, eight. He never had a chance.
That's brutal. It's true, though.
What is he, 4-2, though? 4-2. That's a pretty good record.
Yeah, 4-2. So he died mid-season.
I think he came in mid-season and died after the season. But, yeah, Ugga 11 has its...
I don't know how you follow that. I'm saying you have to clone it.
You can't just pass the torch immediately. You have to get a hair.
You have to get some DNA, clone Ugga 10, and then run that back. Yeah.
The worst – Ugga 1 went almost 50%, a little over 50%, so 53 and 48. You could say he was the worst Ugga overall record-wise.
He was. So that's tough.
Numbers never lie. Damn good dog though in his epitaph.
All right. My cool throne is white NBA players.
So I don't know if you guys saw this. Deli.
A comedian by the name of Carl Tart joined a random league for fantasy basketball. Carl Tart is an African-American.
He joined a random league for fantasy basketball and drafted only white guys and won the league. Wow.
Yeah, pretty impressive. Well, they can shoot like Joel Embiid.
He had Luka, Tyler Hero, Corey Kispert, Porzingis, Vucevic, Bogdanovich, Sabonis, Valanchunis. I mean, he just all white.
Austin Reeves. He didn't have Caruso.
Caruso needs to be on there. I was waiting for Caruso.
TJ McConnell, Laurie Markkinen on his bench, Dante DiVincenzo on his bench. You see Kispert? He had Kispert on his starting lineup.
Yeah, dude, Kispert's shooting the lights out. Yeah, so shout out Carl Tartt.
I mean, what a – he won the league. Yeah, congratulations.
A bunch of white dudes. That's why – I never would have thought that would work in basketball.
Yeah. I did that one year in fantasy football where I had, like, Danny Woodhead and all those guys, you know, all the white guys.
Tough to win fantasy football with all white guys, but still I would imagine that it would be much, much harder to win fantasy basketball. Yes basketball yes yes now i need to try to do fancy hockey league where he has all black guys yeah uh pk subhan is retired yep yeah he sure is um yeah okay all right yeah he's gonna try that also uh covet is over so cool to run we did it guys we did.
They released a statement being like it's over. Sweet.
The White House released a statement being like the national emergency is officially over. Hell yeah.
I don't know. There has to be at least one fucking loser in like probably New York City who just now is going to leave their house.
Yeah. Thank you, Joe.
Thank you, Joe. We appreciate it.
There's one Montessori school. I think it's in New York where they still have the kids that are masked up like 24-7 or at least while they're at school.
And at lunchtime, they're not allowed to talk to each other. Whoa.
They're not allowed to sing happy birthday in class. Yikes.
So we did it. We did it.
COVID's over. Yep.
COVID is over. You're welcome, America.
Finally wrestled that bitch to the ground. Can't believe it's weirdest, longest three years in terms of like, I don't remember.
Someone was talking about the bubble championship in the NBA. That feels like 100 years ago.
That never happened. Yeah, right.
The bubble championship? Never happened. I don't know what you're talking about.
Well, this is also prime, like all the memories you get from three years ago and people doing throwbacks. This was like peak.
Oh, these last month was when it was the first month of COVID when it was kind of fun. It was like Snow Day, Tiger King 2.
All the celebrities singing Imagine to each other. Actually, that's when COVID really was over.
Yeah, that was. COVID never had a chance once Wonder Woman started to sing John Lennon.
The second week of COVID was second week of COVID was actually kind of fun. Because it was like, it is cool.
We don't have to go to work. I had a great time until summer.
Then it was kind of annoying. Yeah.
Not bad. The best part about COVID was I got to watch Game of Thrones all the way through for the very first time.
It was worth it. COVID was worth it.
Because that's a great series. Yeah, I won three national titles.
Worth it. Alright, Billy.
The dozen started in COVID. Yeah.
I came back. Oh, yeah.
Alright. Fucking COVID.
Okay, pros and cons. Wait, does that mean...
Three national titles. PFT got to watch Game of Thrones.
Does that mean that Billy's off the show now? Yeah, that's it. Your watch has ended.
Yeah, thank you, Billy. You got us through three tough years of American history.
You did it, man. You did it.
My hot seat's the Dalai Lama. Yeah.
He was being a creep. He was.
Being a creep boat. He asked a little kid to suck his tongue.
I did the research. It wasn't a mistranslation.
Nothing got lost in translation. It was just as creepy as it sounded.
Just suck my tongue. It also, if he's Dalai Lama.
How old isai lama how old is on dalai lama i think he's 87 okay so like old people when they get to that age they they forget when they're in public or when they have cameras on them he's definitely asking dudes to suck his tongue in private oh yeah that's not the first time that it's ever happened he's he's been asking people to suck his tongue for years yeah i. I just if the Dalai Lama asked me to suck his tongue, I

probably would do it just because like what if you

get what if you get Nirvana?

What is the Dalai Lama? So the Dalai

Lama is

like I know

he's like for anyone

wondering out there, you know, a

guy. He's the religious leader of

Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism.

So I thought Buddhist can't speak.

No, those are the monks. He's the religious leader of Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism.

I thought Buddhists can't speak.

No, those are the monks.

Those are monks.

Monks are monks.

Monks are sometimes Buddhist.

Yes.

But there's those monks.

Hank, this is crazy.

When the Dalai Lama dies, they believe in reincarnation.

So they have to go select a new Dalai Lama.

It's kind of like Ugga, actually.

They have to go select a new Dalai Lama. And they do it is um they get like a bunch of nominees and then they uh the other llamas the other heads of this religion and then they put these old artifacts that used to belong to the dalai llama in front of the kids and then the kid has to be like oh i recognize this thing and they're like oh it's the reincarnation of the previous.
That's probably exactly what they do with Ugga, actually. They take the old chew toys.
So they put the Dalai Lama's tongue on the table? So I would be like, oh, I recognize this. I should get people in the mix.
I try to do that. I think that if you're if you're this kid, you know, much like if the tree at the Masters had fallen on you, you have the best lawsuit of all time on your hands.
If I'm this kid, I just demand to become the next Dalai Lama. Yes.
Like he selected me. That tongue selected me.
That's what I'm saying, though. If the Dalai Lama asked me, I mean, it's a kid, so it's fucked up.
But if you ask me, a grown adult, I probably would suck his tongue just to see if I got something out of it. Yeah.
What if I just had eternal peace? Maybe one tongue. Maybe we should just look into the whole selecting old people to be leaders of religion for life and make them never have sex because it turns them into creeps.
Maybe that could cross a couple of different religious platforms. Wait, hold on.
Hold on. Hold on.
I'm just saying. Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on.
Are you saying that someone who has, complete and total power and basically never gets second guess might be taking advantage of their power? I would never say that. Okay, all right.
Never said that. He also has a notes app, his apology.
Yeah, that was sad because that was like, dude, I thought that you'd think that the Dalai Lama's got something better than the notes app. Yeah.
But, yeah, total creep move, weirdo, and he definitely does it in private. You don't wake up at 86 in however many months he is and be like, today's the day I'm going to see if someone wants to suck my tongue.
Yeah. I mean, if you're going to become the Dalai Lama, you would hope that if you have it.
You just get chosen. Yeah.
He never had a choice. If you're chosen as a Dalai Lama and you've you've achieved eternal life you've achieved nirvana you should have a piece of technology that's one step up from like a relief pitcher that gets busted for domestic violence like the notes app should not be your go-to at that point when was the first llama buddha buddha was the first llama uh now billy i have a question for When you saw Dalai Lama asking for his tongue to get sucked,

how quickly in a matter of seconds or minutes,

if you want to go minutes.

I checked the flight logs.

No, were you like Joe Biden sniffs hair?

Oh, it was very quick.

It was about 10 seconds.

It was about 10 seconds.

Listen, I know your playbook.

I got you.

My Cool Thrones gamers.

Turns out a bunch of gamers hacked the Pentagon and got special files.

That feels bad.

Yeah.

That feels not good.

Like, as a joke?

Yeah.

That's not like hackers.

They got into an argument.

What are gamers saying?

Well, it was first they found out that...

You either die a gamer or you live long enough to become a hacker.

I would imagine most hackers are gamers.

That's true.

Oh, for sure.

Yeah.

Basically, in a gaming discord, two gamers got into an argument about uh political issues so one of them just hacked the pentagon and got files that supported his side of the argument that's awesome and leaked a ton of documents that now have been spread across the world respect yeah and he won the argument those are our documents and i bet you he changed that guy's mind he probably did yeah definitely that's how all internet arguments end yeah you always change the other person's mind when you fight with them online yeah if you just if you produce enough facts you eventually the person that you're fighting with they come over to your side today's the day i'm gonna go online and change everyone's mind says everyone who talks about politics on twitter every day i dare somebody to debate me on whether or not John Rahm's dad is dead because I will win that fucking argument. The 600th tweet about this subject will finally sway that.
All right. Jake.
My hot seat is parade celebrations. Senator Richard Blumenthal fractured his femur at the Yukon parade.
Oh, no. After a fellow parade goer tripped and fell on him.
He got up and finished the parade, but then got surgery. How heavy was that person? That's a femur.
That's a tough bone to break. Yeah.
Unless he was weak. Does he got weak femurs? I don't know.
Does he have a femur problem? That was the Democratic update from Jake. Live of the year sure uh my cool throne is me i'm putting myself on the cool throne because elon just tweeted final date for removing legacy blue checks is 420 that's so funny so do you get it yeah so are you gonna redouble your blue check okay but like you guys might have to do it okay all.
Probably not. What if you wake up on 420 or 421? You already sold out.
You'll sell out again. Once you sell out, you sold out.
Billy just got one. Oh, Billy, you just paid for a check? I can explain.
Jesus Christ. This motherfucker paid for Twitter.
I did an experiment. I did an experiment.
I got a grow. Oh, it's a bit.
No, no. was a bit It was an experiment I wanted to see if the Engagements did go down So I did this experiment where I grew A Sasquatch In a bucket of water You know those figurines I did day over day And looked at the engagement for each post.
Similar post is just a picture of a thing growing in a bucket. And every time it grew, people would be like, oh, look, progress.
And it was doing consistently through a couple days. And then one day, the engagement was terrible on it.
Do you think that's because eventually people were like, okay, we get it. Billy's got a figurine in a bucket.
But I kept growing. And then you twitter blue and then i was like and i bought twitter blue and the engagement went back up to the numbers i was doing before huh so i was like i'm not saying i won't buy twitter blue i'm saying i'm gonna wait to see if he takes it away i think that's what i don't want to risk it no that's my point it's like i'm gonna just keep i'll keep playing this game of chicken if he takes it away and it like, I need this for my job, I will buy it.
But I'm not going to. I'll play the chicken with him.
That's fair. I might just wait to see what the prevailing sentiment online is.
And if enough people are making fun of people that buy Twitter Blue, then I won't buy it. But it does hurt your engagement currently.
Even though you still have it, the fact that you're not paying, it hurts your guys don't have to worry about that but like hank did it call you a sellout pft

oh i know but somebody forced hank also had a blue check mark at one point yeah people forget

got it taken away instantly yeah i did that like three times and then the last time they wanted

the verified mentions tab the last time they did it your twitter bio was unverified check mark on

me and then we got

an email asking us if people wanted to get verified and you said yes i couldn't get rid of it hank i tried so very hard they mean nothing though instagram now instagram used to be the instagram was hard like it it took me a long time to get verified i tried to go through the proper channels why did you want to get verified on instagram versus twitter hank chicks okay well god damn it he just i've been working on this story for two years he just went and said it but now anyone can buy it so it's worthless yeah it used to be worth something for chicks but it's not even about that like right i tweeted something yesterday about now they're gonna think i bought it which is actually worse i tweeted something about the hockey game and i can go past the character limit. That part sucks.
10-minute videos. No, that part sucks.
I can tweet this whole segment. Dude, people, I like Twitter threads.
There's like an allusion to it. Like, what is he going to say next? Yeah, but if you're like 20 or 30 over, it's nice.
Very important thread alert. Yeah.
I want to know what, like, oh, I'm waiting on bated breath. Is, is he going to really say that he, uh, emotionally cheated on his girlfriend and owes her money? Like what's going to happen next? Yeah.
You remember the, uh, the siren that goes off at the start of a very important thread. And then at the end you can just, my favorite is when you skip the entire thread and just go to the end.
And at the end the guy's like, so therefore I did not come on my cat. Yeah.
Never was near my cat. I also can post full length 1080p like graphic animal videos.
Okay. That's probably worth it then.
That's the best. That actually is sick.
Okay. Good hot seat.
Cool throne, everyone. 420.
That's so funny. That is so funny.
All right. Let's get to our interview.
We have a great interview. Adam Richman.
You might remember, man versus food. Guy is electric, has a wealth of knowledge about everything, had a great time with him in studio.
Before we do that, PFT, you got a quick word from one of our sponsors. Hey, it's John Gruden.
If you know me, you know I love nerding out on stats, baby. And when it comes to impressive stats, I think Chevy Silverado is the undisputed champ.
We're talking best-in-class, 430-pound-feet of standard torque thanks to a Turbo Max engine, the most functional bed of any competitor, including an available multiflex tailgate, and capability ready to take on any challenge. Think of it this way.
If Silverado were a rookie quarterback hitting a combine, it would be game over. I mean, capability, versatility, and strength, that's MVP status.
So head to Chevy.com and score huge with Silverado today. Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest.
It is Adam Richman. You may remember him from Man vs.
Food. He is now on the History Channel, and he has a bunch of new shows yeah watch the food that built america uh you have watched the is it toys that built america as well toys that built america two seasons of that sunday nights 9 8 central is food that built america uh mondays at 10 with peyton manning it's called the greatest of all time and rebels that built america That's awesome.
Thank you, man. Because I was reading all the things you're doing right now.
I was like, these all sound like shows I want to watch. Thank you, man.
Yeah, they definitely don't suck. Like most people, I dig history, but when it's these really cheesy AV squad reenactments where everything feels like the Hall of Presidents at Disney World or whatever, no one learns anything anything and everyone just kind of tunes that garbage out and to to actually like have be part of a show where like that's kind of gritty and real and like you see dr kellogg giving his brother orders through the bathroom door while he's dropping a deuce i was like hell yes this is real this is the real shit and like that's really what happened so so what's your from all your history channel stuff that you've been doing, working on, what's your favorite story or episode that you've done thus far? That's a great question.
You know, this season is actually really dope because, and fitting that I'm here with my fellow stoolies, that we go into sporting goods a little bit. And people are like, well, why is it in Food That Built America? People don't realize Wilson, Rawlings, they all started because of the surplus leather that they had at slaughterhouses.
In fact, the milk bone started because of surplus milk at a slaughterhouse. The same inventor that would go on to invent margarine and unleaded gasoline got a bunch of milk, dehydrated it, saw that his dogs were kind of into it, made a biscuit.
They couldn't give a shit. He molded it into the shape of a bone, and they almost took his fingers off.
And that was the milk bone. But I think that the thing with the sporting goods episode, I didn't realize that fans used to think that players were kind of like pussies if they wore gloves and they didn't catch the ball barehanded.
So guys were buying work gloves, putting cotton wadding in them, and painting them flesh-toned with fingernails So it looked like they were catching it. And I was like, you know, screw tradition.
Hockey was traditionally played without helmets. Doesn't make it a good idea.
But I also love and we were talking about your incredibly delicious coffee. Not paid to say it.
Thank you. No, I'm just kidding.
Not paid to say it. We can get you paid.
I'm breaking stones. But the thing is, we were talking about the name and that's the thing I love this season.
We talk about Chick-fil-A and Popeyes. And I never really knew the story.
I never knew that Chick-fil-A started as a menu item at Waffle House. Oh.
I never knew that Popeye actually, the big owl who created it, he actually got sued by the whole Mel Blanc thing. And he said, no, no, no, no, no.
It's about Popeye Doyle, the Gene Hackman character in French Connection. What? He's like, yeah, that's it.
Same thing with Curtis Candies. Babe Ruth tried to sue him for the candy bar.
He's like, no, no, no. Baby Ruth is about Grover Cleveland's baby daughter, Ruth.
Oh, my God. That's smart.
Genius. And I didn't even know this.
One of the cats, this is from this season. The peanut butter episode is really, really, really good.
And not just for like single guys who have a dog. I'm saying that the peanut butter episode is actually really kind of enlightening.
And that one of the dudes who built Peter Pan was screwed over by the government and by his partner. And he pivoted and created Skippy.
And to this day, he has never paid the J.M. Barry estate one freaking penny for the name peter pan that's crazy that's crazy yeah good for that guy right isn't there a crazy story behind how cornflakes were invented 100 and it involves the kellogg's the one guy dropping a dookie while his brother's talking but it's the truth dr kellogg had the battle creek sanitarium michigan and it wasn't like sanium, meaning like people losing their sanitary.
But it was meant to be like a place to go for wellness. And he also had like his fixations against red meat, masturbation, the whole thing.
In fact, there's a movie called The Road to Wellville where Anthony Hopkins plays that kind of character. But anyway, he would make them do marches.
Anyway, the short version is this. His younger brother, the younger Kellogg, was the real innovator.
And they would make this kind of mush, this sort of grain mush, like this paste. Well, some of it had been left on a roller overnight.
And he cranked it in the morning when it was dry and it made these flakes. And people loved it more.
So he said, screw it. Happy accident.
Let's keep making it. And people were loving it.
Well, there was one executive named cw post whose company sent him there to like chill out and not be an angst ridden fuck and can i say that yeah sorry and i apologize to a and e network you know how we do and no and so cw post stole the formula and he created post them and there was this big race and actually between the two kelloggs that's what created cornflakes the k was actually created Postum. And there was this big race.
And actually between the two Kelloggs, that's what created Corn Flakes. The K was actually from his signature.
Coca-Cola, that's the accountant's signature. And it's kind of wild when you see these little tiny things like I never knew.
I never knew before doing this show that Hydrox not only came out before the Oreo, but the name comes because they wanted to try to evoke purity because they had been fired from nabisco and these guys like screw you guys and they wanted to evoke purity so they took water hydrogen and oxygen became hydrox and like this season is like like that's awesome yeah i mean i just always don't know them as shitty oreo right yeah right they were the first versus the NCAA tournament. Yeah, right.
But this is like all these things that happen out of accident. They were the Kwame Brown of Oreos.
Yeah. Exactly right.
Kwame's gonna come after you. Yeah.
Is he? Yeah. He goes after everyone.
He's about that life. Yeah.
Really? You don't want to fuck with Kwame. Yeah.
No, I apologize. That should be a beef that I'd like to see.
No, I would like to formally apologize. No, you crossed the line.
Apology. Oh, wait.
How about the rapper Kwame with the polka dots? No, no, no, no. Listen, we got listen.
we'll hop in with you. No, I'm on Kwame's side.
No, no. Kwame Brown is Hydrox.
I'll be in there with you. We'll go back to back.
Can I go Brady Quinn? Can I go Colt McCoy? Yeah. With Corn Flakes, I've always wondered about those because when they came out, people were like, God damn, these things are delicious.
But Corn Flakes objectively suck, don't they? they have about four seconds where they're it's kind of like big league chew right yeah and and even that's like the sickest story it's actually fitting to talk about it that was in uh i had done a show for history channel called adam eats the 80s but even big league chew that was a that was a relief pitcher for the portland mavericks owned by bing russell whose 16 year old son kurt russell for the team. There's that movie, Battered Bastards of Baseball, is about it.
But this dude saw a bat boy chewing some, like, shredded black stuff, and he knew his mom. He's like, Todd, I'm going to break your arm.
What are you doing? Your mom would kick your ass if she knew you were chewing tobacco. He's like, no, no, no, no, no.
It's licorice. I shredded licorice.
And that's where they had the idea they said why did you do that he said i want to feel like i'm in the big leagues and then so this one guy rob nelson turns to bob nelson whichever you call him they call him nelly turns to jim bouton may rest in peace and former yankee pitcher says what about shredded chewing gum what would you call it he goes i don't know big league chew and they made the first batch in the kitchen of a lady named Candy Field. She's still alive.
She still lives in Portland. And her son is Todd Field, who just directed Tar, the one from Cate Blanchett.
He directed in the bedroom. It's the crazy, all these stories about the food is nuts.
That's amazing. But when Corn Flakes came out, was it a revelation? Were people like, oh, my God, was food so bad in America at that time that this was like a holy shit moment? Like flakes, 100%.
Well, because remember, back in the day, most breakfasts were usually leftovers. The idea of a breakfast industry was really not heard of.
And like food safety. The crazy thing is that it wasn't until the 80s, which we really hit in this season with like Reagan said you could advertise directly to to children and you have like this arms race between General Mills and Kellogg's.
So suddenly General Mills does Cheerios. Kellogg's has this crappy cereal called OKs where the pieces are O's and K's.
So the guy says, screw this. William Lamoff says, no more K's.
Let's just do the O's and let's make them fruit flavored. He chooses the toucan.
Ironically enough, a toucan has no sense of smell, but because of the colored loops. And what's crazy is fruit loops don't have an individual taste.
Your mind makes you think that the orange tastes like orange and yellow tastes like lemon or banana. No, that's not true.
All bullshit. They all taste exactly.
Now, next you're going to tell us that green M&Ms don't make you horny i mean they make me horny yeah they do they absolutely scientific fact why they nerfed her yeah they took away her high heels and her butt yeah yeah but like that's only if you're like rubbing one out to the actual animated but if you're out there who do that no i don't know man i've been seeing some like newscasters get pretty salty. We want our go-go boots on our faceless candy.

Give me my fucking hot M&M back,

and then give me the Lola Bunny with the ass.

So how do you have all these facts in your head now?

Because you know everything.

It's very thoughtful of you to say that, man.

I guess I really love the culinary anthropology of it,

and the thing is I'm a third-generation American. My grandparents came here with neither pot to piss in nor window to throw it out of and you read about like wrote like like the woman who ran totino's right she and her husband had like so many jobs she busted her ass she actually this is a true story she wanted a loan for a pizzeria no one in america knew what a pizza was she had to make a pizza bring it to the guy at the bank for him to try the pizza to get the loan that must have blown his mind right exactly not like you know like in that movie yesterday like imagine being the first fucking person to hear someone play let it be yeah like the first person to try pizza so he naturally writes her a loan but people forget she was so poor during the depression she used to hide and go back in her schoolyard after everyone left to find orange peels to eat the little bit of pulp off of.
That's how hungry she was. And she went on to become the very first executive in the entire history of, I believe it was either Pillsbury or General Mills at that point, and made millions of dollars In fact, everything, even the Gino's pizza roll became like under the Totino's brand.
And it's just this like, I guess I really love like the individual stories. Like, I didn't know that famous Amos discovered Simon and Garfunkel or that he was an agent with William Morris.
I didn't either. That he got his first, the first three people that cut him a check to open the first famous Amos store at that sketchy end, the sketchy end of sunset, at the eastern end of sunset where shit gets a little real.
Yeah, it's like, it was Helen Reddy, Marvin Gaye, and everyone's favorite mixologist, Bill Cosby. Oh, man.
Rolled him a check for the cookies. That's crazy.
That is wild. Isn't it nuts? Yeah.
I mean, you've already blown my mind like seven times with the facts that you've just dropped on us. Thanks, man.
So I'm looking forward to watching that. What would you say would be the one food, if you were to zoom in on one, that really represents America? What a great question.
Great question huh thank you the lo mein microwavable dinner oh okay yeah tv because the 80s was such a shift remember we had reaganomics so it was a switch to supply side economics tons of money floods the market first decade that has two two parents working so you have latchkey kids able to let themselves in. Cocaine.
You have an F. Okay, yeah.
My big shoulder pads. That did happen, yeah.
Big shoulder pads. Yeah, I mean, vice, exactly right.
Hair, crazy hair. Crazy hair, right.
So then the other thing is you have advertisers, advertising directly to children. You now have a kind of modality that the kids can cook with.
Like parents didn't want kids working with flame and knives and stuff, but a microwave, you put the damn thing in, you press a couple buttons. So a latchkey kid suddenly had agency and could say, I want to eat this.
I want to eat that. So the microwave technology changed it.
And I feel that like the microwave dinner, as it has changed, like as certain flavors, like back in the day, it was like a little fat fucking Brooklyn.lyn my mom would buy stouffer's lean cuisine because she was working a bunch of jobs and it was just easy and she knew calorically i wasn't really pummeling my body with garbage but now you find like all tortellini and and artichoke bottoms and you know curries and all kinds of things it's incredible and it's but it's a direct correlation

to where american tastes are at the time like swanson only created the turkey dinner because there was a surplus of turkeys he had too many turkeys and didn't know what to do with it yeah isn't it true like there's i listened to an interview i think it was our guy eddie who did it uh with dog walk he he interviewed a guy who had uh was a butcher and he said that like ham used to be the meat and then turkey

just completely took over for ham

sometime in the last like 20 years well you know how it is it's like the funniest thing is we did an episode uh early in march called flight of the buffalo wing right and everyone always assumes it's the anchor bar in buffalo we come to find there was a black man named john young who lived on jefferson which was essentially the black main Street in Buffalo. He was doing a version of what people in D.C.
know as the mumbo sauce wing. So if you're going to compare like the hot wing is hot, sour butter, whereas hot, sour, sweet is the mumbo sauce wing.
And then when racial violence gripped Buffalo, he and his family went to Tulsa and then Chicago and then the Bellissimos got the credit. But what's even crazier is that wings were considered shit.
Wings were the thing used for soup, the things used for a sauce. Right.
No one wanted it. And then this simple thing made it this incredible bar snack and it never was a big thing.
Like you were talking about that ham turkey substitution. As we learn more things, you know, when I grew up, people were eating veal.

No one cared.

Then suddenly this cruelty thing and our knowledge of veal changed.

And then we wanted a different protein.

And I think, I don't know.

I think what's also crazy is to see how we've been manipulated.

Yeah.

There's an episode about booze.

And we talk about the Moscow mule.

And what's crazy is this guy is like, how in the fuck do I sell a Russian spirit to America in the middle of the Cold War? And so he goes to a bar in Hollywood. The owner of the bar is making his own ginger beer.
And he's also just started hanging out, dating, sleeping with this actress who's just inherited a copper mine and a copper fortune. So he says, listen, let's make the drink with your ginger beer, your copper mugs, my vodka and a lime.
And then we're going to make this thing. And he was one of the first people to have one of those instamatic Polaroids.
So he would go to all the bars in Hollywood going, I'll give you a picture that you could take home to your wife if you try serving my drink it's wild yeah things change just based on how they're being marketed yes good marketing firm behind it like you'll buy you'll buy anything and you won't even know that's why you're doing it it's crazy like i read that lobsters used to be peasant food 100 lobster was served to prisoners 100 why did that change i forget the story well the funny thing was is is even a law on the books in Maine that you can't feed lobster to prisoners more than three times a week. So they're essentially cockroaches.
They are. They have the exact same neurological system as a cockroach.
And they used to just wash up in mounds. And that's exactly why they were considered poor people food.
Like I'm from Brooklyn. You drive over the Bell Parkway and you would see people fishing off the Bell Parkway and people would go, oh, how ghetto, how gross, how whatever.
It's like, they're not paying for dinner tonight. How ghetto is that? But the thing was, because it was so plentiful and because it was understood to sort of be a bug of the ocean, no one cared about it.
Once it became less available and once other chefs started going, oh, this is a flavorful they gentrified bugs yeah they gentrified bugs you're not wrong and that's that's kind of the crazy thing and now it's a felony to rob someone's lobster pot yeah and there's a rule you have to make the door of a lobster pot biodegradable so if a lobster goes into an abandoned pot it's not like a death sentence they can still get out. But it's this deeply beloved thing, but it's a really cool thing that you know that.
And it's even wild when you begin to realize how, like for example, Pepsi folded before World War II because Coke got the contract for sugar. And it was only after the war that someone revitalized the PepsiCo brand.
Herman Lay said that potato chips were an essential thing. And he got the contract that a bunch of chip manufacturers went down.
Hector Boyardi, spelled B-O-I-A-R-D-I, who then of course changed it to Boyardi. He used his canning stuff to make rations for the U.S.
Armed Forces in World War II. So you begin to see how the little historical things change.
That's crazy. I mean, it's fascinating.
So in terms of your career, Man vs. Food, I know that's a thing of your past, but we all loved it.
Thank you, man. We loved the show.
Thank you, bro. I actually got upset with you when you lost all that weight.
I just wanted to get that out in the open. I did write a blog being like, fuck Adam Richman.
Why'd he lose all this weight? Like, you were supposed to be the guy that we all looked up to because you had the dream job. So bygones be bygones on that.
But yeah, I wasn't upset. Was it that? Because I was still eating.
I just wasn't eating like that while I was losing weight. Yeah.
I just remember you took a cover photo. Well, no, I took a centerfold, but that wasn't why.
So they have a thing in Manchester at Old Trafford where Manchester United plays every two years called Soccer Aid. And it's celebrities and former pros from England versus celebrities and former pros from the rest of the world playing soccer on the pitch, like on television.
And I played a whole bunch in my youth youth and so i dieted for two years with the sole goal of playing for soccer aid so that was my goal that wasn't about you know like fat shaming it wasn't about no i know it wasn't i was a stupid blog i was just like you have the dream job go back and eat because i i used to watch your show and be like that looks like an awesome well that was the that looks like an awesome place well that was the thing even while filming man versus food man versus food nation when i did had that kind of discipline it made me aware a of how many calories those things were but like my cheat meals were like built into my schedule yeah so i just i'd work out i'd do a shake and then like go to a place and have like because i knew basically i would take a bite in like three different focal lengths. They would do a two shot of me and the chef.
One where they would follow the burrito up from the plate. One where it's a wide shot of me biting the burrito.
And one of me doing it and then like jizzing and like, oh, it's so good afterwards. So I knew that I had at least four bites.
So generally speaking, if you're keeping a low diet, four or five bites of like a mega like king kong burrito yeah you're good so so so how did you how'd you get into that it like was that your idea i auditioned okay oh you never had done a food challenge before my final screen test i um i went to yale for my drama degree and i got signed by agency totally i, have you not heard the dorky-ass facts of it spraying out here? Totally. Totally.
And I lost my glasses. No, I mean, I say that lovingly because we couldn't sniff an Ivy League school.
No one in this room. I'm the first member of my family.
Oh, yeah. Billy went to Williams.
He counts that as an Ivy League school. But like I say, I'm lucky to have have done it but i got signed by agents out of the school and uh i read this book called the renaissance soul life designed for people with too many passions to pick just one and it was really like i liked it because it wasn't like esoteric hippy dippy bullshit it was much more like real exercises that like made you answer there was no like i'm not sure you had to have a definitive answer about things and i'm not kidding you i did this reverse flow chart exercise and it came to television travel food host and so i'm not kidding because i had it wait that that job didn't even really exist when you took that test well yes and no right because i think guy was doing triple d you had paula dean's sons were doing a show called road tested at that point I think Bourdain maybe was doing Triple D.
You had Paula Deen's sons were doing a show called Road Tested at that point. I think Bourdain maybe was doing stuff.
Yeah, and like, you know, Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern, obviously. I mean, granted, you know, Tony, it was about his voice, not really where he went.
Andrew was eating, you know, sautéed panda taint, and it was its own thing. And he's just so erudite, and it comes from this food background.
I wouldn't shit, know i was this this actor and i had played god of joan of arcadia and i had been on you know guiding light and things like this but um i've been working in kitchen since i was 13 years old and so i got the audition and they said bring in something to eat describe the flavor there was a big board like it was a handwritten like read like one of those restaurant intros i used to do and then um it was a casting director named barbara barna so i i i came in and i bought like uh i brought a mole burrito because i figured mole is kind of interesting to talk about and i have a photographic memory so i read the the read and she said feel free to go back and i was like no give me two more seconds no i got it and then i just did it straight down the barrel and she said, feel free to go back. And I was like, no, give me two more seconds.
No, I got it. And then I just did it straight down the barrel.
And she's like, well, what? And, you know, naturally you have to play possum a little bit. Oh, do you need a safety? Sure, let me get a safety.
I'm here in front of Katz's Deli, right on the corner of Ludlow and Houston Street in New York City. Now, even though it was originally across the street, it now is in its new location where it's been for hundreds of years.

Even the sign in the window comes from the advent of neon.

When Herman Katz actually asked the neon person, what do you want in the sign?

And he said, Katz's that's all.

That's exactly what it says.

But today, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

That was awesome. Right?

So then I came in and the final screen test after, you know, they had to check my references, make sure I wouldn't BSing.

They had to see all these things and taste my food and this, and the other and this is God's honest truth last screen test cats is deli I couldn't afford a cats a sandwich my boys and I used to split them and I went in the day before and I interviewed everybody I could Mario Batali was there Dean Winters who played Ryan O'Reilly on Oz was there so I took that as a good omen because I really was a big fan of his. But I interviewed everyone.
I bought a T-shirt and I took it home. I cut the collar out of it.
And I was I'm telling you, I was so broke. And I washed it.
Five dollars worth of washing and drying to make it look old. And I wore a black hoodie and they told me they wanted an intro.
So I of did what i was just doing there you know no less than four u.s presidents have actually eaten here reagan roosevelt you know carter clinton in fact two russian prime ministers and john glenn asked for the pastrami right here on the launch pad now the funny thing was the show was supposed to be called pig out and i said fuck that yeah and so it so it was Valentine's Day, 2008. I'll never forget it.
And I said, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But I'm here not for nostalgia.
I'm not here to give you a history lesson. I'm here to take on the double Reuben challenge, a massive double Reuben of pastrami and French fries.
And I'm going to fuck it with my face and the whole thing, whatever. I do and then i go that's right it's a new valentine's day masker here in the lower east side of manhattan and this one is man versus food and if you think that i'm reading this off a cue card i'm just a big fan or i'm a big fan of cats's and i unzip my hoodie and i open it up i go this is my actual t-shirt big fan and i walk oh and then i go oh and then i said that excuse me i flipped it and then i said this i go this valentine's day massacre is man versus food and food it ain't your day i turned on my heel and i walked in and dan adler who went on to become my showrunner looks up from the monitor with this look like miyagi at the end of karate day same shit different toilet i was like you need a safety he's like nah and art god bless him our camera guy you know who reminded me of every tailor every jew has ever had anywhere you know oh that's good you know we no one did it in one paper that's wonderful that's wonderful i was like yeah whatever and ironically enough i was working in sports tv at the time i was working at msg television and that was supposed to be my first day.
And I called my director, shout out Kyle Carney, who was doing Hockey Night. And I'm like, Kyle, I just face fucked this gigantic Reuben and fries.
And I feel like I'm going to. He said, I've never heard gluttony used as an excuse to get out of a job.
He's like, you can go home, start tomorrow. And it's crazy because they used to give me shit when I told them.
I said, I'm going to have a show. And they used to, oh, where's our TV star PA? Where's our logger? Because that's what I started doing was logging games, anything at the Garden.
So Liberty, Knicks, Rangers. I did some Devils games and stuff like that because Stan Fishler, the the maven was there and then literally the I showed him the sizzle and come to find that New York episode when I finally went back to Katz's my PA was the wife of the director who used to break my balls oh that's perfect they should have known I mean anybody can spend five minutes with you and be like this guy should be a television food what a nice thing to say man yeah i mean it means a lot yeah you obviously care about a lot and also the fact that i'm a big fan of y'all i appreciate you're exceptionally gifted you've got to be on the mount rushmore of eaters it's like you you and joey chestnut are definitely up there wow um billy football billy football and michael douglas yeah he'd be on the mount rushmore well joey, Joey does this thing.
If you watch the San Jose episode of Man vs. Food, so when I met him, like, fuck bowing, I walked into the room and I lay prostrate at his feet, like child's pose, like arms at my side at his feet.
And he's like, dude, like, I've watched. He's like, you know what it's about.
It's like that focus where it's not about the food. And I and if you watch i stole something from him that like some story producer gave the most they called the get down in my belly shake down shimmy and i was like bitch i'll fight you in the street but i watched joey i think i just unplugged myself but joey joey throws himself he throws his body downward like his rib cage toward his pelvis really hard but he's literally just shaking the food down but the other thing is he takes one more bite than any human does like so i can sit there and take like four good bites of a burrito but he's got that like fifth bite like i think he's got that extra alien mouth jaw strength yeah crazy

it's nuts and and the bites like come from his like back of his head like from his spine it's just it's like full pac-man hinging and i don't know how he does it did you not see was it last year some guy tried to like stunt on him or to protest and joey ox-collared to shit because Joey wanted to be a cop.

Yeah.

Took him down.

Took him.

I mean.

Kobayashi could never.

Dropped. hunt on him or to protest and joey ox-collared the shit joey wanted to be a cop yeah yeah and took him down took him i mean kobayashi could never drop she could never he's like 90 pounds that whole thing he did with the whole like hanging on the fence and stuff i mean if anyone knows joey you know what a warm like a truly warm humble self-effacing guy he is and uh no he's the best and he's also i i was actually lucky enough to compete in it one year a word yeah the uh pita threw fake blood on me i was on the end of the stage but joey i like i actually do and people think i'm joking when i put him like with like mj ali tiger but who's better we were on the bus all the competitors and he was just like holding court, like the reverence

that everyone has for him. Who's better?

It was insane, yeah. Who is, I mean

to me, like everything

there is like that alpha and omega

like I was lucky enough to have Bourdain

as a mentor and to have Andrew Zimmern as a

mentor and like I still, my voice

it was funny, I walked in the building

you know, I play guitar and I

was listening, there's a solo I'm desperately trying

to learn from a pretendrous song called

Boots of Chinese Plastic

Thank you. it was funny i was i walked in the building um you know i play guitar and i was listening there's a solo i'm desperately trying to learn from a pretender song called boots of chinese plastic and bourdain used to love super tramp used to love the pretenders and i was like listening to him and it's so interesting when you see like how you whether it's like youtube people or social people where you see like little bits of him but yeah like there are those people like like the sean whites of the world like the mj yeah and they command a room and they command yeah just by their presence yeah he is he is the goat so doing man versus food what was your favorite what's the one you look back and you're like killing it today bro yeah um you know of all the challenges the only one that i would legit like go back and eat as a meal in alaska and i'll never forget my mother's like i really don't like the name of this challenge it was called the kodiak arrest but what was so dope was right it's not exactly a galvanizing name like oh boy am i excited to distend my asshole and my aort at the same time but what's so cool was um before the chef got really really drunk and if he listens to this brother you know you were in the bag i go where do you get the crab he goes like this and opens the blunt the front blinds of the window he goes that boat i said where do you get the salmon for the salmon cakes he walks over he asked these people in a booth excuse me can i just show adam something and they're like if we get a picture whatever so then he lifts the thing he goes that boat i said what about the berry cobbler he said two stop lights down half a mile down the road there's a berry farm and that was the thing it was like it wasn't a lot of one whatever it was it was a bunch of crab legs it was house-made reindeer sausage which i'd never had before which is freaking delicious they have a house-made mustard that's top four mustards lifetime whoa um the berry cobbler which is again like having something sweet at the end of all that savory was really bomb the the salmon cakes they were good they were just little crunchy oily whatevers but having a little bit of something different to keep your taste buds interested that was really cool and the quality is ferocious like i'll put it this way of all the places where i did a challenge the only i haven't been back to that many i've been back to one and a million yeah in austin where i did the breakfast taco challenge um just because juan mesa is just the best family is the best the food's amazing food's amazing.
It's totally affordable, totally non-pretentious. They always have a seat.
He treats every, like it's not because I'm the meat puppet on TV. Juan Mesa would meet a cab driver from Midtown and embrace him like a long lost brother.
It's that kind of thing. Everybody in the line, he'll come up to you.
He'll slap your hand. Yeah, you know, he gets you with a slap.
Best handshake in Texas. He got best handshake i he did they actually did like a poll there's a there's a plaque by the door best restaurant i mean i believe it i've shook the man's hand five times and every time that heel to heel shit like guys like buddy rich bang like it's but yeah there and at humpy's alaska nail house when i filmed fandomonium at arctic Man's cold-ass cousin, a whole lot less like fatty Instagram girls and fishnet,

just lots of snowmobiles.

Yeah.

And they have a halibut taco there

that is one of the most extraordinary.

Like, I've sent multiple chefs there,

and they can't figure it out.

It's, like, just done on a plank, very fresh fish,

no very little sauces and stuff.

Amazing.

The Acme Oyster House in New Orleans orleans great place great place to go that that was tough to watch though they're watching a person eat how many oysters was 150 oysters your face no it was 180 it was it was 15 dozen is that 180 or 150 i'm not a math guy hanks are math guy you're the yell guy come, but I did drama. Down the street, they were discovering a cure for cancer.
I was rolling around being an amoeba. I think that's 180.
15 dozen. That sounds right.
15 dozen. Is it 180? Yeah.
180. Thank you.
Yeah, my math score wasn't as good as my verbal. But the, yeah.
No, well, first of all, Lucien, who runs that place, love him. And to be a dirty old man with a successful business in the French Quarter, mean and i mean like his sense of humor was he was a very cool guy but like the hustler cubs across the street so he's like you did 180 here how many gonna eat across the street and i was like as long as they don't taste like the ones but he literally he would do foul stuff like he like popped an oyster on camera and then like he knew how to cut it he He's like, you got to open it up.
I was like, man, come on. We're 830 on a Wednesday.
We're out the oyster when it ends. Yeah, exactly.
He's like sliding his finger in the oyster. He's like looking at it, man.
Damn, I should call her. But you know what the thing was? This is the truth.
And I'm so glad I get to share this on PMT, man. Because I know that like people have their association with Barstool and stuff, but you guys always make me laugh and always make me smile.
Appreciate it. I think in the past couple of years, smiles and laughter has been in pretty short supply, so I'm very grateful for y'all.
So I beg your pardon for my little brief Dick Flute solo. No, one thing that I remember was, so I was up to 11 dozen.

And they used to have like a little compound bucket in case i had a reversal of fortune but dan adler now bear in mind this guy's like a dear friend clearly a genius went on to do to create doomsday preppers 90 day fiance love after lockup that's dan adler the guy i auditioned for for man versus food and uh danny had been off the road he came back so this was like i'm pulling i said danny you know you're leaving on a w i refuse to have you come in or you know so the bucket was like i don't know kind of like where you are right now like i don't know what would you say about seven feet eight feet eight you know whatever i didn't want to say out loud hey danny move the bucket over especially because it was like a bachelor party next to me if you watch this one guy screams and i pretend to fucking stab him with my fork so they were there and then i i saw it and i got the 11 they bring the 12 dozen thing over and i went come so far i can't stop now and because of the similarity to the song lyric i turned to these guys and we went to change this love and slowly all of acne starts going i want to know what love is i want you to show me and like i'm so so hyped i'm sitting there pounding oysters i want to feel love it i'm just pounding it meanwhile dan's losing his mind that we can't clear the song everyone stop singing i'm like keep singing and i'm standing up so if you watch the episode after the 11th we switched to time lapse and we cut in because i was getting so in so we get close to the i didn't even realize i'm dusting him so now i have maybe a dozen and a half everyone calms down and i'm like and like dan stops everybody everyone booze him like he's the guy who took the beach ball away before the concert yeah you know oh so sit there and there was one drunk guy by the door like right by the street door and he just stands up i want to know what love is and it would starts again and i get those last six so then after that i knew i had it and like it was just that was horrible and i will say this um i was dating a girl from alabama she broke my heart in about a million pieces. My first time actually going out, my PA Patrick is the best wingman in history.
We went out to the casino there. I met this girl.
We're talking. And all of a sudden, some cock-blocking some bitch, I still don't know who he is, walks past me and goes, careful, girl.
He just had 180 oysters. Oh, no.
That's a great line, though. Or it could mean you're just really horny.
But that's what he that's i think what he meant i don't think he meant like he's gonna jackson pollock out his asshole and to be fair 50 50 yeah yeah why not both exactly exactly you got in defense of that guy that's a line you can't pass on right exactly like yeah and the show hadn't aired yet the show no one knew what it was so these guys were like wow i didn't know i was getting a floor show they had just started airing the commercial and i'm doubled over after that challenge in my hotel room i'm sitting on the porcelain throne and i hear those cheerleaders going man versus food i was like shut the fuck oh that's so great so so was that erin andrew's sister is in. Oh, in the- The redhead, that's her sister.
So was that the worst one or was there one that you think about all the time? Every spicy one sucked. And the one, I lost one spicy one in the entire time I did MVF and it was the Munchies, a fire in your hole, very subtly named Munchies 420 Cafe.
And they were lovely people. And I think, because I said something on something on hot ones but the truth of the matter is we did hear on his mic he said let's just add the whole bottle let's just blow them out and the thing is ghostly extract is toxic they literally weaponize it in police grenades in india and the thing is there's a difference between something that's hot and something that's dangerous right the best the best spicy challenge, best.
And I mean best in terms of like it was a true challenge and it was still good. It was called the, ironically enough, special number two at Orochan Ramen in Los Angeles.
If you like spicy ramen, it's delicious. Like the guy's noodles are great.
He's an MMA fighter. So he was like real funny.
We were like talking about like locks and arm bars, tracks in the kitchen and shit. And he's actually a, he actually brought the noodles over.
He snuck them in his clothing from Japan when he brought them over and he really cares. But it was so spicy.
It was good. So you wanted to keep eating it, but so spicy, my tears burned, my piss burned, my snot burned, but it was good so you wanted to keep eating it but so spicy my tears burned my piss burned oh my god burned but it was still like a true challenge versus something that's just going to be doused like this one chip thing where it's just so much extract there's no flavor there's one here in new york city um brick lane the foul curry challenge and that one's really funny because i thought i beasted it.
There's a bar called, I think it's called the Golden Blue, I think, like down in the village. My boys and I went to go play pool afterwards.
I put the quarters in, like, and I went down to push the quarters into the thing. I went down and I couldn't get back up.
I was like. So all they saw me was, like, sink below the pool table.
They're like, fuck you go, man. we dealt with a spice challenge on this podcast one time, actually Billy did it it was at the Buffalo Wing Factory in Northern Virginia and similar to your point no he didn't win, food won food dominated him food dominates him we basically recreated your show but food always wins was it the after effect or you yawed y'all we think that they did what the guys did to you because once the cameras came out we think that they said to themselves all right let's fuck with this guy and then billy ate you ate what three wings no i literally ate half a wing and then as you said it hit me and i was like this is you start hiccuping no it's like this is weapons grade in my face and i burnt for 24 hours all over my face.
I got a little bit on my wrist and it just burned for hours. People forget.
So capsicum is an oil. And that's why the best thing we'll want in your mouth is chew some bread and spit it out.
But it's so intense. If you watch.
So one of the spiciest things, and this was all about Macho Pride, why I won.

In San Antonio, I did this burger challenge called the Four Horsemen.

And it had like actual full ghost chilies on it.

Not an extract, three whole peppers on it.

Not to mention habanero sauce and all this other shit.

I was punching the table like so hard, like I was losing my mind.

I finished it.

They gave me a popsicle and I ran it over my forehead. Kind like schmaltzy tv stuff but also it was cool if you watch later on in the episode i have a streak across my forehead that's the exact width of the popsicle and it's because the oil is so caustic the one that almost like really like turned me into phantom of the opera in santa clara where i got in trouble for elbowing somebody like the cops came and stuff like this i was like don't fucking touch me when i'm eating like i'm eating and i'm eating hot stuff please don't shake me don't elbow me right what's wrong with you and so after you ate this challenge this stuff you had to leave the sauce on your face and hands for five minutes and i'll never forget this so i had done this like a schmuck like what i'm doing what i'm doing listener is adam is grabbing his fingers as though he's uh i don't know doing something on only fans and like that little teardrop fingertip together thing and then pulling the sauce off what i did inadvertently was rub the sauce into my cuticles and i was couldn't bend my fingers my hand swelled so bad i was trying to sign autographs and stuff afterwards and thank god our makeup artist is very devout and her church group had come and there was a dermatologist i was like as a jew i want to say thank you to your church group and he had to go to the like there was a public's something or a Kroger and he got cortisone, like prescription strength cortisone and aloe to put on my face.
But if you watch, yeah. Oh, if you watch, I look.
That's torturous. Like a tomato.
Like when you do those challenges, I would imagine, how quickly would you do them back to back to back? Because like I question, you do something like that and it's like, I don't want to eat forever. The first 10 episodes, everyone's like, I could do what you do.
The thing is, could you do those first 10? So remember, I'm tomato ketchup. No one knows who I am, cares who I am.
No one expected the show. When I got picked up, they had a show with Dahani Jones, who played for the Jets and the Bengals, called Dahani Tackles the Globe.
They had one called Bridget's Sexiest of Eaches with Bridget Marquardt though one of hef's three girls with holly and kendra it was bridget was the sort of the the older of the three of them but lovely person and and obviously they had andrew zimmer and they had tony so who's player to be named later you know i like came along in the draft like knowing who i was and uh suddenly it popped off but in the beginning it was travel shoot shoot challenge travel or shoot challenge shoot the very next day so there was no downtime eventually once the show had a little bit of accolades and the tail could wag the dog a little bit i could say i need a recovery day right or i need a prep day but back and never, oh my God, I'll never forget the first real challenge I ever had to do on camera. The pilot was in Memphis and we did a thing called the Kooky Canuck.
It was called at the time the Bigfoot Lodge, but it was a burger roughly the size of a bar stool cushion. And it wasn't, oh, fitting.
And it wasn't badly made. A really wonderful cook there and everything.
You you know he is canadian so it's called the cookie canuck now but it's just so much of it and i didn't know how to do challenges yet and so i had to do this i finished the challenge and the very next day i had to show up to gus's fried chicken and try to like go yeah i'm so excited to have fried chicken and pie and then it's like me a second. Let me go into the bathroom for the fourth time in an hour and have a brown baby.
And I'll be right back. That's crazy.
And that was the thing. Well, luckily, like the walking and the coffee, like I came in ready to fight Klitschko.
I came out ready to fight Pacquiao. Like I was like, I looked so much better on camera by the time I did the intro read.
Because I had ground beef up to my nipples when I started, I finished I was like vegan I was like ready to go it really is fascinating because it was one of my favorite shows when it came out I I was talking to memes about this yesterday and we used to both plan where we would go eat in cities based off places that you had gone so it was a fantastic show if you haven't watched it go watch old episodes of it thank you you're also doing stuff you got. Is it your own YouTube channel that you're on? Because I saw one video where you claim to have come up with the best hangover cure of all time.
Oh. And I'm very interested to know about this because I've been, as a scientist, trying to figure that out for the better part of 15 years.
I keep getting close, but I'm not there. Yeah.
That video I think you're referring to on Hot Ones, Sean, who I love, he's a good buddy of mine. So I recently joined the First We Feast Complex fam.
I have a podcast with them called The Meals That Made Me. But on the first Hot Ones I did, Sean said, what's your hangover sandwich? And it was based on, so basically, you know, you're going to need starch, you know, you're going to need fat and you know, you're going to need a little bit of salt, just generally speaking.
It's why like back in the day, bacon, egg and cheese, French fries, a fountain Coke. And I was usually right as rain, a couple Tylenol.
And I was usually pretty good, but no, my, my hangover sandwich was you do eggs and sun-driedried tomatoes mozzarella and i put in a sam adams cream stout i don't know why that was the one that always worked and once the alcohol kind of cooks off it has this kind of i don't know malted thing that really goes down well and then i put it on like a bagel or a roll um but there was just something about it where it didn't go too rich or too sweet or too whatever um i'll tell you this though i do have and i guess i may as well tell because people who gatekeeper kind of you know dick blisters anyway spicy challenge hack okay and this is the truth oh it's it's billy needs if you want to my my my sound my woman cameraman Tom Dodson pissed me off to no end. He was always funnier than me, funnier than everybody on the crew.
And he used to refer to getting hickory hole or rings thing. You know, he would burn out the leather Cheerio.
I could do this all day. And so the way to avoid hickory hole before you do anything spicy, eat a banana and eat a small thing of white rice.
And then I would do something like, you know, pink bismuth, which is Pepto Bismol, but something to coat. But I would do the banana is the crucial thing.
I learned it at Flying Pie in Boise, Idaho. They have the triple habanero explosion.
And the guy's like a lovely human being, super duper yogi, whatever, lovely human being and his staff really cares. I said, how do you eat this though and not have to retire your asshole to science? And they said the banana, apparently something about the banana and the potassium encapsulates the capsicum so you have a good exit strategy and that's the thing your body's going to produce acid to break down whatever you eat but if what you eat comes down caustic you have acid and acid you have oil and oil and it's too much and the thing is dairy is good here but dairy is the absolute worst in your stomach huh so that's why i found if i did a did a banana, before I did hot ones, before I did hot ones, I did a banana, I did a small thing, and I did a shot of the Pepto.
And then I came in and I just did it. Your mouth is going to hurt.
And if you're nervous about that, you can bring some Ambasol, but whatever. But like, yeah, that's the thing is just how is it going to feel in your stomach? Yeah.
Yeah. Dairy is good if you swish and rinse it out but the best thing you can do hot dog bun i don't know why maybe it's because it's so spongy and starchy but an old hot dog bun like not an old one like i'm not saying like for the grazed papaya like but i'm saying you do that you do it you spit it out it's actually like a sponge and it takes all the capsicum at you wow all right because otherwise you're gonna go back you'll be giving birth to red crayons all day yeah did you have to like roll with your own did you have like a kit that you brought with you on the road like I need that I can't do quilted northern I gotta I gotta go like five ply I love that okay so no I should have but one so I'm sure you guys know on sets right you say i'm going 10 one if you have to pee and 10 two if you're dropping you know taking the browns to the super bowl and uh so that's the way you politely just say you know oh where is where is so and so he's 10 one you know and that's what you say so i had been taking these fat blockers kind of like the prescription strength of Ally.
We were filming in Hawaii at Giovanni's Shrimp Truck, but we had

filmed... You know, and that's what you say.
So I had been taking these fat blockers, kind of like the prescription strength of Ally.

We were filming in Hawaii at Giovanni Shrimp Truck,

but we had filmed the day before at this place called Moose McGillicuddy's.

And this woman was doing this challenge,

had like 12 cheeses and 900 eggs and every sausage

and probably a stick of butter.

I had a few bites of it.

And like if you've ever taken a fat blocker, you you know when when something's going on you remember the olestra chips the olene chips back in the people forget about those the wow chips they're marketing you had to bring an extra pair of underwear zero fat and there was a label on the back that says yeah we'll cause anal and people still bought them because like i can't believe this is zero fat yeah yeah and it's like it's zero fat but it goes right through you so the thing was yes i it was a it was a one and done and i usually was pretty good about it and you know you're sauteing shrimp and oil and butter and stuff like that and i just remember saying to danny like i gotta go check on the 10 200 is the 10 22 in there like fuck 10 2 i was like is the 10 2000 i gotta go check on the 10-2000. And I went back and forth, and I just remember I kept going, and I said, no, we have, and I remember my sound guy knew what I was doing, and he kind of covered for me.
He's like, no, we have this piece of editing equipment, and Adam's kind of responsible for it because he's the executive producer. By the way, Eric Beeney, I love you with all of, he's a two-time Emmy winner for HBO 24-7, Road to the Winter Classic.
Oh, yeah. He's a big hockey guy.
Like, literally, Sid the Kid took off his jersey and gave it to Eric. He's like that kind of quality human being.
But straight up, like, Eric was like, no, Adam has to do this. And I remember I said to the trailer owner, I'm like, I used up your teepee.
I'm sorry. He's like, no, man, that's what it's there for yeah i said just thank you for having enough yeah oh man it's an issue but you know nothing nothing everybody always wanted to talk to me about my puke my ass with this by that the other and i always felt rough and like one of the things that was really nice is what you said and i know it probably sounds like some sappy bullshit but you have to remember prior to the pandemic i say this as a restaurant kid you know my pop had me working in places when i was 12 um is prior to the pandemic that was the worst time for independent restaurants 2008 was when we came out and with the recession and everything it was the hardest time for mom and pop restaurants and every place on man versus food did 80 to 300 percent more business oh that's awesome and it was because people like you believed in me and believed what we did and so literally i got a text from mike emerson from pappy's barbecue in st louis he's like my brother i just wanted to tell you i could draw a direct line from the day you walked in my front door to me being able to live in hawaii yeah that's very cool that's so awesome and a nicer guy there is none if you've ever been to St.
Louis, Papi's Barbecue, get there early, order everything. Because they sell out.
They sell out. Those are the best type of places.
Dude, the president of Real Madrid had to make a call to get his kids some barbecue. Oh, my God.
Facts. That's incredible.
So, I mean, this has been awesome, man. We really appreciate you coming by.
So is your coffee, bro. Where are you roasted? It's roasted actually in New Jersey.
Are you a big coffee guy i am a big coffee we were talking about this and you told me to save it for the yeah yeah but so i want to hear this because that's what i was gonna ask because your coffee is genuinely good like again i already gave my one dick flute solo on course cost money you know you have to go i did think about like probably some chubby chasers may want to do something. Like if I got like a sponsorship from like Hexclad or Calphalon, if I did like an OnlyPens, just my.
Because I know I look a little bit like Fred Savage on a bender. Like people look at me, go Fred Savage looks terrible, but Jay Leno looks great.
And I figured like me, like just naked with like a saucepan or something like that. Some chubby chaser is going to be like score yes um but no so basically one of the best things is you know not to be like all like john cougar mellencamp ain't that america but i do love this country very much my dad was a vet my grandpa my uncle um i'm i used to be chairman of the board of the armed forces foundation i work with um what do you call it clear path for veterans out of syracuse so getting to really see the country's the best so i was like what are my passions so i deliberately in every city i went to um a coffee roaster a comic book shop a bookstore a record store and some kind of like streetwear a local men's store and even if i didn't buy anything i met people cool like that were cool that would like tell me about oh

this is a dope show it's like what connection do I have to St. Louis and suddenly I'm at this really cool like indie rock thing next thing I'm at this house party next thing I'm at a magazine launch and then I have this t-shirt and like so coffee's been really big and there's a chef in Hawaii meeting Alan Wong, and he has a coffee list.

I'd never seen that.

I'd only seen a wine list.

He's like, why not? I know the aftertaste of everything you've eaten. I could pair the perfect coffee to finish it.
Oh, that's great. And like, I didn't get a boner, but I definitely like, I didn't go full six to midnight, but I felt a heartbeat in it, you know? And so I bought a bunch of airtight containers and I would cut the bag and i have them and if you look in my kitchen i have a bunch of them in these airtight containers and i am going to pick up so you have dark medium and light which is your favorite uh i like the medium the big cat blend but i also like the light what made you what made you roast uh coffee so i've always loved coffee i have two soon to be three kids and so coffee became like uh not only just what i enjoyed but also like i needed it like constantly copy so yeah it was uh and i was like why not and and my dog stella she's uh 11 about to be 12 you know not gonna last forever dogs don't live forever so i figured there's a cool way to start something such a long long time to be to be gone, such a short time to be there.
Yeah, exactly, exactly. I don't know that lyric.
Yeah, I don't know. It's impossible to play guitar with a half finger.
Yeah, I have no idea what you're talking about right now. I don't know.
It's just Stella Blue Coffee. Yeah, you're so ungrateful and alive.
I think it's really good. I'm going to give you a good mar marinade because I really love the taste of this.
If you took your dark roast and you did equal amounts cold, if you took London broil, one of the cheapest cuts of meat, it's very healthy food. It's very lean, but not very marbled.
And I used to do this like on the come up and my friends couldn't believe it. Equal parts, black coffee, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, red wine, three smashed garlic smashed garlic cloves salt and pepper put it in a ziploc and you could even uh you put a straw like a ghetto cryovac yeah like you zip it except for a straw don't suck up the liquid because it's disgusting but you do this and you zip it leave it there for a few hours and you can just sear it but the acids they denature the meat and they tenderize it so much and the coffee when you cook with coffee it has that rich kind of chicory without being chicory but that campfire kind of note and the soy keeps a little salt but without getting too intense it's worth a try that's good i'm gonna try that because then you could do it's less what i used to do that and slice into little things and make wraps withitas and shit.
I like that. Really good.
I like that. Well, I appreciate you saying that the coffee's good because that's all I want is people to like the coffee.
Last question. Yes, sir.
All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.
Only one Reese's peanut butter lovers protein bar is made with Reese's Peanut Butter, and only one Hershey's Cookies and Cream Protein Bars is made with Hershey's Cookie Bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar. One Bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout one also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake maple glazed donut and blueberry cobbler find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com uh we do have a cheesesteak pardon my cheesesteak you're not we're not gonna make you eat it oh um you can have a bite you're allowed to take a bite you're allowed to take a bite we got We got two of them.
So we have our own cheesesteak. We wanted you to- How did you- That's awesome.
So yeah, we have ghost kitchens around the country. We actually have a food truck across the street.
So it's a little cold, but we would like you to try it and just tell us who it is. I would be honored.
And if you don't like it, we're going to cut it. And we also want you to watch Billy try to eat one as fast as he can.
Yeah. You can just tell him.

You can critique his own style. Holy moly.

So what do I have?

Do I have whiz?

Whiz wit?

Yeah.

I think you should have the regular.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, hell yeah.

So Billy's going to also eat one as fast as he can.

Oh, and you're not cutting him.

You just go full on.

Yeah.

Okay.

Do you have any advice for Billy as he tries to eat this as fast as possible?

Because he needs all the advice that you can give him.

Do you have a beverage? Do you have hot sauce? I don't have a't have a beverage and he doesn't want hot i don't want hot what condiments do you like because the thing is that you sometimes the addition of a different flavor or a different consistency like when i did a cheesesteak challenge i was like hating life for a bit and then just like adding in ketchup or whatever you had to change it up yes exactly quick these don't look too bad like this and the other thing is it's the first 22 minutes that you have before like your stomach starts sending alerts oh that's interesting i have a couple questions about the big texan oh yeah please yeah i did the first that was the first episode that aired wait wait Billy, let me ask your first question for you that you're definitely not going to ask. Is it a good, is it a good strategy to drink three beers right before you try to eat this big steak? No, it is a terrible story.
How did you do it? Not drinking three beers. No, honestly.
So, um, I would do, and it's funny you mentioned the big Texan. This is very, this is very perfect.
Like, this is a true Ain't That America moment. So I would do, and it's funny you mentioned the big Texan.
This is very perfect. This is a true 8th America moment.
So I had done other challenges before, and I lost in Memphis. We did Columbus, Austin, Amarillo, Chicago.
I won in Columbus with the Dagwood, lost terribly in Austin to the Don Juan, and then Amarillo was, and I'm telling you, my exec producer called me.'s like we really need a W today really because you know that's the legitimizing thing so someone I had read some stuff that leg leg workouts and back workouts yeah really help they really help like like gun your metabolism so what I first did was and this is the truth I will take every book I put my my shoes the gideon bible there were phone books back in the day in my suitcase and i would do shoulder loaded squats and bent over rows in my room and then and this is the truth my little weird hotel in amarillo i ran in the parking lot and i started doing those line touches like like like basketball teachers the line drills yes someone said suicide yeah so someone thought there was like a meth addict in the parking lot and the cops came and they said there's some guy running around and he's touching the ground and i'm like no i have to eat a 72 ounce steak later the other thing that um danny one of the two brothers taught me again using condiments to fight what's known as flavor fatigue but also some alcohol alcohol is not bad. He goes, take a sip of red wine before a beef challenge.
It will make your mouth almost crave the red meat, and it will make more saliva. Helps you, and it's the truth.
That does help. Billy, what's your fastest you ever had a part of my cheesesteak? I think I did it in a minute 32.
All right, so we're trying to break to break yes all right i'll pull up the timer you ready to go well i let adam take a bite first and let us know got it can i cut it to the middle you can do whatever you want yeah i want to try the middle but all the good stuff is oh it looks delicious though yeah there's water here we got some water very good really really good okay we'll that on quote card. Yep.
Adam Rischman said, best cheesesteak he's ever had. He can't talk right now.
That's what he said. That's what he said.
That's what he said. I see it.
No, seriously. You know what I like? That the onions are not cooked beyond all recognition.
They have a little bit of crunch still. Yep.
Yep. That's what I tell him.
Some are caramelized. Some are crunchy.
I like that some of the meat has that char in the crunch and sometimes a little bit more of a tear yep personally i go for them cut in half because i'm a savage but really really good okay good bread um and i like that the the heat of the meat like they must put the whiz on right at the end. Yeah.
So the whiz stays nice and...

All right.

Get the seal of approval.

This is really impressive.

You guys did a great job.

All right.

Thank you.

All right, Billy.

All right, Billy, you ready?

I'm going to start the clock.

Oh, wait.

Can I get a napkin?

I feel a...

Yeah.

Can you get a napkin?

A very bukkake kind of thing.

Yeah.

All right.

Remember, just...

It's a three or four bite swallow,

and if you need to,

if you're feeling full,

this is what I...

I'm not kidding.

Joey just would throw his body down, and it does legitimately force the food down. I was, so when you're talking about before you knew how to do a food challenge, what were some of those things that learned? Stalling.
Like, like, what did you learn? Don't answer that. I really don't know how to do a food challenge.
I just eat it. I just eat it.
We're aware. No, it's fair.
I learned some shit. Like, so, okay.
Joey taught me I would drink a gallon of water in five minutes, either the morning of the challenge or the night before, because then through breathing, pissing, respiration, perspiration, the water is gone, but your stomach is stretched out. So that was a really big one.
But a gallon of water in five minutes, I mean, be careful. You drown yourself.
And the other thing that my doctor was really concerned about was it's how I recovered from challenges. That's why everyone's like, you must get so much ass.
You're going around. I see girls kissing you during the challenges.
Number one, you never feel less sexy than when you're doing a food challenge. number two that my crew were the ones gallivanting and kicking it i was on a treadmill doing the baton death march because my my doctor had given me these cleanses and he said i need you moving right away so i would go to the hotel gym my head on the freaking console walking at like 1.5 mile and they're like yo man the waitress is so cute they're like where are was adam where'd adam go i'm like you can go how long would you walk for i would have to do bare minimum three to four miles after each thing my doctor was like because i i need you to a get it out of your system safely but i also need to get your heart rate up because he didn't want any kind of atherosclerosis and the truth is let's let's face it right and people like i just wanted to do well and do right by my mom like whatever and and people would say you're the top of my office death pool how the fuck aren't you dead yet i can't wait yeah like can i have the show when you die of a heart attack it's like dude i don't know you yeah go like go eat hot death and so that was the thing i never wanted to give people the satisfaction so leg workouts back workouts stretching your stomach with that and the other thing is if you know you have a challenge of a certain type um don't eat that thing so like I love nachos and that's why they waited till the very last man versus food challenge to give me a nachos challenge because they knew I was gonna lay waste to it and they they knew that I wouldn't do nachos for like a month.

All right, ready, Billy?

You got it, Billy.

Ready?

Here we go.

I believe in you, Billy.

Got this, Billy. You got this.

You got this, Billy.

Three, two, one.

All right.

How's that thing?

He's going.

Oh, that was a big bite.

Get that side bit.

He's getting it.

Get that side bit.

Yeah, here he goes.

Also, we should have mentioned that Billy has a deviated septum, so when he does this, he can't actually breathe.

Same.

Get that side bit, because it's got liquid. Listen to him trying to breathe right now just swallow he's not breathing oh oh uh are we gonna have a reversal no no no time i think i can't breathe yeah you can't i know when you can't breathe billy's also real hopped up on benadryl right now yeah and also just really wants to impress you so this.
So this is a big moment for him. Go easy on the water.
Go easy on the water. Because that's the other thing.
People forget the water hits the bread and it expands in your stomach. Oh, it's tough, Billy.
All right, Billy. He's crushing it.
He's crushing it. Yeah, he's doing a good job.
Almost half down. There's a half.
There's a half. There's a half.
How much time are we in? Time check. 49 seconds.
So I don't think we're breaking records today, but that doesn't matter. This is a hard thing to get down, though.
Yeah. It is.
The bread is doughy. It's good, but it's doughy.
Go, Billy. Go.
Go, Billy. Billy probably didn't even work out this morning.
Go, Billy. Go.
Billy, you probably should have hit the gym. Oh, Billy, you could get it.
1-10. What a savage.
By the way. Yeah.
Don't eat the bottle cap, Billy. It's literally, it's a head right next to the body.
Wow, that is, that's the Helsinki technique. Dude, I got to tell you this.
Anyone who's willing to actually do it will always have my respect. Yeah, oh yeah.
Because you get a bunch of like, you know, the Monday morning quarterback. It's the man in the arena.
Yeah. It's the man in the arena.
like Teddy Roosevelt said. Yes.
Billy, yeah. Billy, shake it down.
That's it. That's it.
That's it. All right, Billy, beat two minutes.
You're at 140. That's it.
House it. House it.
Push, push, push. Yeah, come on, Billy.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Yes, sir. I love how a bunch of guys could be in a room.
Let's see that open mouth. Let's see that open mouth, Billy.
Oh, my God. Good job, Billy.
I'm proud of you. I'm very proud of you.
I love that there was a Twitter account called Dirty Man vs. Food Quotes because they showed us how many things we say in this thing that are disgusting.
You can really describe food in all the ways that you describe stuff. Bravo.
Oh, yeah. Oh, he's struggling.
No, he's got it. He's got it.
This is the flu game right here. Yeah.
Like home stretch. Is there any adrenaline that kicks in when we're doing a challenge? Absolutely.
Oh, my God. It's funny.
Great, great question. So I boxed for a hot minute, and, like, I hate losing.
I'm deeply competitive. Absolutely.
Absolutely. By the way, hot job, Billy.
There we go. 201.77.
Still not easy. Seated.
Seated low. Because that's the other thing.
Yeah. You have to be like seated like at a normal chair where you sit low and your knees are above.
It's kind of like the squatty body. Yeah.
It's like not a good thing. I did stand it at the kitchen when I got one.
I will say that. Yes.
Sick. I did one.
That was awesome. I did a wing challenge in Boulder once and they put me at one of those like high top tables.
Yeah. and your legs are kind of holding you up on those chairs and it didn't was that the 50 wing challenge i think billy did that oh yeah yeah um western tavern yep what a great place you guys are like great challenge i enjoyed that one shout out to erin peacock one of the loveliest managers she's so nice to us uh really great there but yeah i there's chicken to the egg.
I did a big challenge at LBI in Jersey. And that one, you know what I did? And that's what I wish I had done for all my big quantity wing challenges.
I stripped all the meat off the bone first. Yeah.
And then I was just taking like skull bandit pinches of meat and dunking it in blue cheese, just like a total fatas and like oh like just you know joey fat one you know crushing it good i'm surprised you believe in condiments when doing the food challenge i hear a lot of people don't do condiments because it overloads without question i guess for me so this is a funny thing and i saw a meme someone giving me shit was like starts starts time to eating challenge, spend seven minutes talking about flavor. But the thing was Pat Young, who was the president of the network, actually mandated that he said, I do not want to see you dunking buns in water.
I don't want to see you like a competitive eater. Right.
He said, if it's a big sandwich, I want you to eat it like it's a big sandwich. It's a big bowl of pasta.
Eat it like you would eat a bowl of pasta. It of pasta it's just a really big one he said because if we make it look delicious the people that love pasta would go oh man i would i would run a train on a big thing of ravioli you know what i'm saying and that was the thing like and i and the funniest thing was my buddy jason i love my friend jason bear from college i love him dearly he called me with like a death threat in the middle's like, okay, here's the deal, asshole.
You either have to tell me how to make pulled pork or tell me where I can get pulled pork in Brooklyn at 11 o'clock. Because I have a pregnant woman that just watched the show.
And she demands pulled pork. And if you don't, our friendship is over.
But that's the thing. So, yeah, like I would love if you watch the Hartford, Connecticut Challenge.
It was me and this guy, the great Moomsy. And he was a real competitive eater and he was dunking the crust in water and he was doing this.
I will say this, though. He is the only time I've given myself license to actually like pull the trigger because it's so bad for your throat, for your teeth, whatever.
But like only there's only that one time in St. Louis where it happened kind of on camera and the one thing they didn't have and it's funny because the owner of the restaurant will let me live it down a great place i highly recommend if anyone here is a fan of the blt sandwich maybe the best blt in christendom at crown candy kitchen in st louis andy karanzas family's been running it since the turn of the century last century and the seats like the booths are hollow so it's a lot of dairy and right before I didn't really feel good I shifted and I popped off a fart and it echoed like in timpani and his wife was sitting behind me and she's like oh like that I think that definitely threw me off my game because it was like, poof, like it kind of hit like a low bass note.
Like I was like at an EDM festival, wait for the drop. And it was just like, poof.
And then she said, oh. And then like I just started like, like everything malfunctioned from then on.
And I was like, I need the bucket. And it was just pure milkshake.
And I remember a cousin of mine and again this guy is like buff secret service agent never did a food challenge in his life i'm like my man's right here and was just saying you should have done all vanilla you should never have done eggnog it's like what do you know yeah right that's two gallons of milk yeah that's two gallons of milk no one needs bones that strong yeah yeah maybe jim harbaugh yeah jack wilshire yeah exactly yeah well adam this has been awesome man ever go check him out on the history channel uh we will i'm gonna watch that show yeah it's been very very fun we really appreciate you stopping by man yeah hopefully you guys dig dig rebels they show the old seasons too so you get to enjoy me at all the various weights i've been during the pandemic when i got over 300 and now but yeah man it's i'll tell you this man you're not i've been pushed to do a sauce a restaurant or something since man versus food and i haven't and it was doing this show that kind of got me off my ass to do it because you see how many chips were stacked against all these people and how they actually went out and just did the damn thing and it's so impressive yeah so impressive like you know true with kathy got those chicken breasts by accident because they didn't fit the trays on a delta in-air flight meal and he took it and created this multi-billion dollar business like what what inspiration like right here a right here, Stella Blue Coffee. Yeah.
Like, you went and did the damn thing. You're not some, like, hipster in the village bitching about the coffee.
You went out and made some great stuff. And I applaud anybody like you.
Lots of talkers. Very few doers.
Yeah. You know? Appreciate it, man.
It's here for the fucking doers, man. Yes, absolutely.
Well, thanks so much, man. Really appreciate it.
I got you. I'd love to come back.
I'd love to cook for you guys. Yes.
Yes. Absolutely.
Seriously, I had a big green egg sent to me by my boy Dave Rose, and it cracked in transit. You guys have a, well, it's a red egg in the hallway.
You're just sitting there. Can I come back and cook for you guys? Yes.
Yes. I'd be honored if you guys are down.
Yes. Absolutely.
No challenges necessary. Anytime.
I mean it in earnest. I would love to.
Yeah. Love it.
Thanks, man. Thanks, man.

Okay, let's wrap up. Max, what did you just send us? Astros? That would be the 2021 ring ceremony for the ALCS champion, Houston Astros.
Did so just cut this part. Cut this part out of the podcast.
I mean, you asked. You asked.
I can't. It's a paywall, so this could be a fake.
I couldn't get to it to it either. Yeah, no, I clicked on it.
It's a paywall. I'm trying.
You can't verify anything. It took me to the homepage.
If you can verify. This is a lie.
It took me back to the homepage. I can't read it.
I tried to click on it, too. For instant access, subscribe now.
25-cent spring sale. Are you getting a cut of this, Max? All it says is Astros collect more baseball diamonds during ring ceremony.

Didn't they just win a championship?

This was 2021 when they lost.

How do you know that?

Because when I first opened it, it worked.

But now it's not.

No, it's not working.

I can't.

I'll find another side.

Find another one.

Find another team.

Some fuzzy match.

Because the Astros also, we don't respect the Astros organization.

They cheated.

Find a real team.

This is bullshit. And also, they already

won a World Series. Yes, which makes

it even worse for them. They beat you.

So them having a ceremony after they had already

won a World Series recently makes it

even more so that

the normality of it.

No, it means that

you got no hit in the World Series by

a team that had a second

place ceremony for themselves. It's everyone.

It's just the most recent

pennant winner.

I don't know about that. That's facts.
Find another one. Yeah.
I will. I will.
I will find another one. You have 20 minutes.
Deal. Done.
Easy. Guys on chicks.
Hey, guys. I've been dating my boyfriend for over a year, but I hate when we watch sports with his friends.
Whenever someone on one of their teams does bad, someone yells, what a waste of cum. At first, I didn't think much of it, but they will say it in large crowds and it's embarrassing.
Is this normal guy behavior? Usually a load your mom should have swallowed. Yeah, you should have been dribbling down the side of your mom's leg.
Yeah. That sort of thing.
Now, I guarantee this is what happened. One time one of their friends made that joke just amongst the fellas and it got a good laugh and then they're just trying to recreate that magic every single time and when when they're in a bar with new people around it's like a brand new audience for a stand-up comedian so they're trying to you just have to get them going back to the same bar over and over again and eventually they'll stop saying it also if he's the one and you get married you have a family all that stuff like you won't have to deal with it eventually he'll he'll like go once a month to go hang out with his friends and they'll make the calm jokes and it's not going to be every day at your house just do that this one's great help all caps i think my boyfriend is using chat gbt to write my sweet messages and good morning texts at first i thought he was so thoughtful and taking time to write me short poems and messages but then i learned about chat gbt worst of all he wrote my grandma a poem and she is in awe of his writing how do i address this with him is this a red flag uh just guys being dudes we do have a resident plagiarist here that might be able to weigh in on this billy? You're talking about me? Yeah, you've used chat GPT to write all sorts of things.
No. I've used it when I said I'm using chat GPT.
Okay. Do you think that this is, is this person lying? I think this guy's a goddamn genius.
Okay. And I wish I used it myself.
Do you remember when Russell Wilson used Google? Pretty much the same thing to write a love note to Ciara.

That was very, very funny.

He just, he Googled the description of a beautiful woman.

It's like how to describe a beautiful woman.

And then he wrote a poem to Ciara using the first Google result.

Yes.

That came up from that.

And then I think she posted it online.

And then the entire internet called him out on it. That was yes russell wilson is pretty much a robot uh breaking moves i'd like to issue an apology to max this raised ring is so sad he sent us the Rays in 2020 American League Championship,

which was a bubble year.

And Kevin Kiermaier's quote is so sad.

He said, these are American League champion rings.

And he said, the rings are beautiful.

There's no other way to put it.

All of us were blown away by them.

They're about as sexy as a ring could get without being a World Series champion.

That's tough.

Max? Yeah, I was just going to go down until you guys mentioned it because every single team has this ring ceremony. Well, I issued my apology.
Do you accept it? I accept your apology. Anyone else in this room? I don't want to apologize.
I wasn't really that critical. I didn't say no one else has done it.
I just said it's the first I've seen. I don't apologize.
I'm going to go back and check the tapes here. Because I know that you were like, oh, I know for certain that we would be roasting these teams if this happened every year.
I don't want to apologize because it was funny. If I saw it, I would definitely roast it.
But I do want to apologize for getting the facts askew, a tad askew. You know what? The facts were correct.
The fact remains that it's soft to do a ring ceremony for a second place finish. I was misinformed.
So I was not wrong about anything. And I apologize for nothing.
Have the Red Sox lost a World Series? Good question. No.
Fuck. Is there? Not since I've been alive.
Not since I've been alive. Fuck.
By the way, that girl can put those messages into ChatGBT and ask ChatGBT if ChatGBT wrote it, and it'll be able to tell you. All right, don't be a narc, ChatGBT.
I know you're listening. It's ChatGPT, right? GBT.
Yeah, are you saying GBT? Chi. GPT.
GBT. Are you saying P or B? I'm just saying it fast.
Are you saying P or B? P. Okay, all right.
Like context could tell you that. How? Because it's a P.
Yes. Okay, all right, whatever.
What if it was a B, though? I bet you there was chat B, chat B, chat GBT. It just sounds the same when you're saying it fast.
Chat GPT. Chat GBT? Yeah.
I said B. P.
I said B. Cell phone, cell phone.

Chat, chat, chat GBT?

Chat GBT.

GBT? GBT.

Billy's inventing a new letter.

Okay, I'm not like pronouncing.

Use promo code TAKE at chat 3GB.

Sure.

GPT.

There it is.

Chat GBT.

You're good. You're good you're good all right next one all right we got two good ones to end it hey pft dad cat and honk my husband always feeds our garbage disposal he'll sometimes make a point to throw extra food down there and say things like eat up big guy before he turns it on is this normal yeah that's funny yeah that is funny i don't know if it's normal but i i'm gonna start doing this i have the garbage disposal with the top you know not it's not a switch yeah and i like it because it just feels like i'm doing like manual labor i'm like ah there you go see you bitch you know that pit in star wars that would eat things in the desert? Yeah.
When we saw that movie, my dad was like, look, we have one at home. And it was the garbage disposal.
I like that. Man, that was cool.
That was a good dad joke. Scared of the sink.
I think he killed Boba Fett. I was looking at houses the other week, and there's this one house that had the switch for the garbage disposal.
Like the one that you turn on to you flip it and the thing starts rotating.

It was like right at belly level next to the sink where you would definitely accidentally turn it on.

Yeah.

And that's my worst nightmare.

I think that's like the scariest thing ever is to get your hand stuck in a

moving garbage disposal.

Oh,

it's scary to just even put your hand in a garbage disposal when it's not

moving.

When it's not like what happens if it just starts moving.

Yeah.

You have to set up like cone traffic cones around the switch to make sure nobody accidentally hits it yeah while your hands in there that's that's a funny move all right last one okay hey guys i recently got engaged to my long-term boyfriend he is great but there's something he does that has always struck me as odd and I'd like your thoughts on whether I should generally be concerned.

Generally, all right, fuck that up.

Generally speaking, he's a serious rule follower, and this applies to having a child out of wedlock.

Because of this, he always uses condoms during sex.

He's very strict about this, and I haven't really had a big issue with it.

The oddity comes after we have sex.

He is so neurotic about the possibility we'll get pregnant that when we're done, he always takes the used condom and fills it with water from the faucet to see if there are leaks.

Do you think this is potential serial killer behavior or just a harmless quirk of an otherwise great guy in love of my life? Sounds like a crime scene investigator. Didn't Drake used to, wasn't there a story that he put hot sauce in the condom? Yeah, you always hear about when they do the NBA Rookie Symposium.
They teach players, like, you throw away your own condoms and make sure that they're not accessible for anybody else. Right.
No, condoms work. But filling it up after? Wait, are they married, you say? They just got engaged.
Engaged. Yeah, you got to.
It's psycho. Because once you're engaged, then it's like if you have a baby that's you're good it's good you're happy that you're having a child right it switches not like oh shit what are we gonna do it's like no you're you're good you're having a family yeah tell them to relax also as a woman as a woman you should be on the pill don't we all agree with? You really can't trust guys with birth control.
Yeah, that's... This guy should be doing everything that he can to stop using condoms.
Yeah. Instead, he's becoming more into condoms.
Yeah. That's a red flag.
He's got a condom fetish. Remember, I was talking about it earlier today when Jameis tried to say the best condom,

and he like, or combo tandem, and he said condom, like the best condom in the NFL.

Yeah, a sex problem.

Yeah, a sex addiction.

Also, very weird part about this is he's putting the used condom on your faucet

that you probably use to wash your hands.

That's your pissing sack.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What are you doing?

That's where you piss. Don't put your jizz there.
Yeah. Yeah.
What are you doing? That's where you piss.

Don't put your jizz there.

Yeah.

You can't cross streams like that.

And then how do you dispose of the condom?

Just throwing away water balloons?

He eats them.

Oh, yeah.

That'd be great.

You throw them across the room.

That'd be a fun prank.

Oh, shit.

This is why the pull-up method is just so much more effective.

It's the best.

Yeah, it works 100% of the time.

You know where the semen's going.

Yeah, never have a problem pulling out.

Yeah, you know exactly. Every last drop of cum is accounted for when you pull out.
Yes, that's true. All right.
Hank, lottery ball, you ever gotten it? Nope. Hank, somebody ran the numbers on how likely it would be for you to pass me for the tattoo bet.
It's like 25% chance that I'm going to what? I ran the same numbers 0% chance because Hank's well he's never got yeah he's never gonna get it yeah the bottom line is I'm 25 times more likely to win this bet than you are I 100% don't give a fuck so take that take those for Well, That's some math right there baby

You're also 0% a world renowned educated mic drop

I like that

His birthday was 4 slash 9.

Yeah, what was Hank's guess last time?

Hank, you don't know shit about Seve Ballesteros.

Was it 96?

What did he guess last show?

96, I want to say.

Checking.

What did you guess, Hank?

Just say. Oh, yeah, he guessed 96 when he false started.

Steve Wheatcroft.
