Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 let's go!

Speaker 1 Now in the street there is violence

Speaker 1 And I not like the sound of perfectly done

Speaker 1 No place to hang out or washing

Speaker 1 And then I can't blame all on the sound Oh no, we're gonna rock it down to Electric Avenue

Speaker 1 And then we'll take it higher

Speaker 1 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to

Speaker 1 Electronic take

Speaker 2 presented by Barstow Sports.

Speaker 1 Welcome to Part of My Take. Today is Friday, February 3rd, and Tom Brady has retired again.

Speaker 1 This time,

Speaker 1 because Hank broke his heart.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's back-to-back retirements. Two consecutive retirements for Tom Brady.
He's the goat at that, too. Not a dynasty, but a nice little run.
He is officially retiring this time.

Speaker 2 Last time, I think he said he was walking away from the game. Yeah.
Taking some time away from the game, being with his family. This time, it sounds like it's official, official.

Speaker 2 He cried a little bit in his retirement video. He said you only get one emotional Instagram post, and he used that up last year thanking Hank and the Brady 4.

Speaker 2 So there will be no more thanks to Hank for all the support throughout the years.

Speaker 2 He says it's because you can't get two of those, but I think we all know he's not posting another thank you to Boston sports fans because Hank broke his little heart and drove him out of the NFL by turning his back on him

Speaker 2 in his very last career game.

Speaker 1 I have a little fact or fiction list play real quick. Hank, it's your favorite game.

Speaker 1 Factor fiction, Tom Brady played 23 years in the NFL

Speaker 1 with only one true retirement. We're not counting last year's retirement.
Fact or fiction.

Speaker 6 Fiction.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 He didn't play 23 years in the...

Speaker 6 No, the second part is fiction. What do you mean? He's had two retirements.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but this is the real retirement.

Speaker 2 You can't do both fact and fiction.

Speaker 2 You're either pregnant or or you're not pregnant.

Speaker 6 Factor fiction, Tom Brady retired last year.

Speaker 1 Okay, but he didn't. No, he didn't because we all knew it was fake and he came back.

Speaker 2 Hank, can you look up what the definition of retirement is for me? Actually, Jake, can you check that out?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think he submitted his retirement. No, he didn't.
No, he actually didn't.

Speaker 1 Factor fiction: in the 23 years that Tom Brady played in the NFL, you defended him for 22 out of the 23 years. Fiction.
What? 23 out of 23. Oh, okay.
Interesting.

Speaker 1 That is fiction.

Speaker 2 I'm going to take Hank's side on that one. Hank defended Tom Brady not for 22 years.
He defended him for 22 years and 51 weeks

Speaker 2 of his NFL career.

Speaker 1 And then in the last possible moment, when Tom Brady looked up at the wall

Speaker 1 and when he was like, who's still on this wall?

Speaker 1 Tom Brady was,

Speaker 1 or Hank was standing next to Tom Brady with his jorts and Dak Prescott jersey on. He's like, hey, buddy, and just stabbed him right in the heart and then twisted it.

Speaker 1 And Tom Brady said, if I've lost Hank, I've lost everyone. I'm retired.

Speaker 6 Factor Fiction, I got a couple for you. Okay.
Tom Brady's greatest winner of all time.

Speaker 1 I'd say maybe.

Speaker 2 Genghis Khan was pretty good.

Speaker 6 Factor Fiction. I won the bet.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 2 The Cowboys bet. Yeah, if that makes you sleep better at night.

Speaker 1 Well, no, you didn't.

Speaker 1 They're not in the Super Bowl. But they.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, wait. Oh, wait.
Oh, oh, wait, you just.

Speaker 2 Did you bet on the Cowboys that week, or was it just your future?

Speaker 8 No, I guess.

Speaker 1 No, it was both. He doubled down.

Speaker 2 No, no, no, he just said that it was just the future. It was just the future.
That's pathetic. Yeah.

Speaker 2 You sold Tom Brady.

Speaker 3 You sold him out.

Speaker 1 You guys are trying so hard to get out of here. You sold him out for

Speaker 6 two weeks' salary.

Speaker 2 I don't know what to do with me.

Speaker 6 I just love the time.

Speaker 1 That's pathetic.

Speaker 1 The guy loves football. He's one of the greatest competitors of all time.
And for some reason this year, something changed where he's like, I'm walking away from the game officially.

Speaker 1 What could have changed? Oh, maybe Hank. turned his back on him.
What did he do?

Speaker 2 With friends like Hank, who needs enemies, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 All All right, so Hank, we won't make it about you.

Speaker 3 Listen, Tom Brady,

Speaker 1 it does feel like he's officially retired this time. Would we say you said 25% chance he comes back? I still think he could come back, yeah.
The only reason I feel like he might be fully retired.

Speaker 6 There's crazy injuries.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but the only reason I think he might be fully retired this time is he did always say in all these interviews that he was going to play to 45. He's 45 years old right now.
He'd be 46 next year.

Speaker 1 So maybe he's done, he's proved it all. And this year obviously

Speaker 1 wasn't really fun for him. So So, new chapter.
What were you going to say, Jake?

Speaker 2 Retirement. Noun.
The action or fact of leaving one's job and ceasing to work. Okay, so did he come back to work or did he just leave?

Speaker 3 But he ceased to work. No.

Speaker 1 No, well, for the offseason.

Speaker 2 At the time, he ceased to work.

Speaker 1 Well, no,

Speaker 2 it was for the offseason.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was, yeah, I mean, he was probably training.

Speaker 6 Did he do off-season workouts?

Speaker 2 Not during February.

Speaker 1 Idiot.

Speaker 2 So he'll be back on Selection Sunday again.

Speaker 1 He is the greatest quarterback of all time. I know that there's now debates going around.
Joe Montana was 4-0 in the Super Bowl. Tom Brady was 7-3.

Speaker 1 I don't think anyone will ever win seven Super Bowls again. I know that

Speaker 1 we've said this. Patrick Mahomes would be the best challenger, but then when you think about all of it, Patrick Mahomes would have to play till he's in his 40s.

Speaker 1 Tom Brady won three Super Bowls after the age of 38. He also would have to have his team's going to turn over like two or three times.

Speaker 1 It might have been four.

Speaker 1 It's just the longevity part. It feels like it's going to be almost impossible to duplicate.

Speaker 2 It's crazy to think about that Patrick Mahomes, where he's at in his career right now, is about maybe a sixth of the way, maybe a little bit further than that, about a fifth of the way through what Tom Brady's entire career was.

Speaker 2 Tom Brady had three separate Hall of Fame careers in his 20s, in his 30s, and in his 40s. He's the best football player of all time.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 2 wait, now I need to have the internal debate. Is Tom Brady the best quarterback of all time, or is he the best football player that played quarterback of all time? I'd say both, actually.

Speaker 1 He did have three separate Hall of Fame careers, which is crazy. So if you look at it from 2000, 2006, obviously,

Speaker 1 not the total yardage, but he basically had Troy Aikman's career with three Super Bowl titles, two Super Bowl MVPs, Troy had one.

Speaker 1 From 2007 to 2013, he had Dan Marino's career with

Speaker 1 they both had

Speaker 1 two, or Tom Brady went to two Super Bowls, Dan Marino went to one.

Speaker 1 Tom Brady had two MVPs, Dan Marino had one. Tom Brady had two passing touchdown leader years.
Damarino had three. And then his last

Speaker 1 years, 2014 to the end, he had Joe Montana's career. We had four Super Bowl titles, three Super Bowl MVPs, five Super Bowl appearances.
Joe Montana only had four. It's crazy.
And it's insane.

Speaker 2 Now, for the second half of his 40s, he's going to have Greg Olson's career.

Speaker 1 Yes, exactly. Which I don't, people were getting mad for Greg Olson.
Greg Olson came on this show. He said it a million million times.
He knew what was going to happen when he signed up for it.

Speaker 2 I also think that there's a decent chance that Greg Olson fins Tom Brady off somehow because he's that good and he's a proven commodity now. And

Speaker 2 you can think, yeah, it's Tom Brady, and he'll probably approach it with the same dedication he approached football with, and he'll probably be outstanding at it and be one of the best broadcasters.

Speaker 2 But I think that there's a chance that they work something out behind the scenes because they like Greg Olson and they don't have to pay Greg Olson. Tom Brady on the beach.
Tom Brady money.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, that's not going to happen on the beach.

Speaker 2 No, no,

Speaker 2 they would move Tom Brady. They would trade Tom Brady like how they traded Al Michaels back in the day.
Tom Brady goes to CBS, takes Romo's spot. Romo comes to Fox.
He's on the B team.

Speaker 2 That's my dream trade. Who says no?

Speaker 1 Okay. I also, I wouldn't be shocked if Tom Brady is somehow involved in the Super Bowl broadcast this year.

Speaker 1 It feels like you're already paying him this much money, like whether it be pregame or maybe he's in the booth for a little bit.

Speaker 1 Why wouldn't you do that? If you're Fox, why wouldn't you use the guy who you're paying millions and millions of dollars with who just retired? Fox basically gets an exclusive if they want.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I don't know how that works with his contract. If they start paying him now, or if it's a thing where his contract ends with the NFL, with the Bucs, and then he becomes a broadcaster.

Speaker 1 I don't know if it's the money now, but I think the FTX.

Speaker 2 I think

Speaker 2 he'd probably sign up for doing something for the Super Bowl. Yeah.
It'd be good to have it. It would feel like a Super Bowl with Tom Brady around.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he played in 18% of the Super Bowls that have ever been played.

Speaker 3 He's pretty insane.

Speaker 2 Didn't he play in like half the Super Bowls of his career?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 if you take out injury, what are you going to say, Billy? I have some more Tom Brady crazy stats.

Speaker 10 I was just going to say, are we sure Tom Brady's going to be a good broadcaster?

Speaker 1 No, I mean, we don't know. Yes.

Speaker 10 Because he's a millionaire who's been dating supermodels for the past 20 years, and he also knows the game.

Speaker 2 He's married to his wife. Not anymore.

Speaker 10 Knows the game to a way that he probably can't even convey to other people.

Speaker 2 So I just want to stop you real quick. Do you think that dating supermodels makes you bad at being a broadcaster?

Speaker 10 Well, no, just being relatable to everyone in America watching.

Speaker 2 Do you think Stephen A. Smith is relatable to anybody?

Speaker 1 Tony Kornheiser watched great on Monday Night Football. He's been dating supermodels for his whole life.

Speaker 2 Kornheiser, fucks.

Speaker 10 He might get on the broadcast and people be like, he's just

Speaker 1 got a dick like a baby's arm holding an apple. I got a...

Speaker 1 Yeah, what?

Speaker 3 Tony Kornheiser?

Speaker 1 What are you talking about? Slay King.

Speaker 6 People hate Tom Brady because he's successful already.

Speaker 10 But if he gets on there and he's not like...

Speaker 1 You're just kind of an asshole.

Speaker 1 You're not totally wrong, Billy, because he's unproven. I think it's more, Tom Brady knows more football than probably anyone out there.
It's just his personality.

Speaker 1 Like, is he going to show his personality?

Speaker 1 Is he going to be like gregarious, you know, a guy that you want to tune in and listen to him call a game? That's the real what if.

Speaker 3 Because do we know Tom Brady's personality?

Speaker 1 Yeah. What if he's what is it?

Speaker 6 Electric. Winner.

Speaker 1 Winner. Yes.
Winner. Yeah.
He is a winner. Winner.
Charismatic. Supermodel looks.
All right. I.

Speaker 1 Are you counting Kevin Bonner maybe writing tweets during the game? No, I mean, everything I've seen from Tom, and I've seen it all, he's great.

Speaker 10 What happens if someone tries to bust his balls on the broadcast and he just responds like angrily and like doesn't like take jokes?

Speaker 1 I think

Speaker 1 he's hyper, he's hyper, hyper, hyper-competitive.

Speaker 6 We've seen him in his quarterback mode. He's hyper-competitive because he wants to win.

Speaker 1 Why are we acting like he's not competing?

Speaker 6 Why are he going to be like a normal dude?

Speaker 2 Why are we acting like we haven't seen him doing the match and like just mic'd up busting balls of people? I think he's going to be a natural fit

Speaker 1 i'm just saying

Speaker 2 fox is in a good spot right now and greg olson's doing a good job so i don't know if they're going to have to move him off i think that they're definitely giving fox something to think about now greg olson is definitely i don't know if if greg's olson if olson's asked to step back to the beat team he'll do it and he'll be great at that i'm just saying fox is in a good spot right now i don't think i don't think that it's a tough like position for i don't think they're i think it's gonna be tom brady because they're paying him so much money you can't pay him that much money and then be like,

Speaker 1 he's not, Greg Olson's keeping the job.

Speaker 2 That's why there's the possibility of people on Twitter might be like, we want Greg Olson.

Speaker 6 Fox people do not care.

Speaker 2 That's why there's a possibility that trade, like Al Michaels was trading

Speaker 2 the rights to Oswaldo the bunny to go to the ABC properties.

Speaker 1 No, Tony Romo might just be cut.

Speaker 1 He might not be traded.

Speaker 2 They might just cut him. Would you take on Tony Romo's cap right now? That's a big cap hit.

Speaker 1 What if you take on Tony Romo's? What if they trade Tony Romo for Tom Brady straight up and then they just cut Tony Romo? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Get him off the books. Yeah, his expiring contract.
Maybe move him for an asset. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, so Tom Brady crazy stats. There are a bunch.
It is mind-blowing.

Speaker 1 Hopefully, we don't have to do this every year.

Speaker 1 If he comes back this year, it's going to get annoying. Wouldn't you agree, Hank? No.
He would become the Brett Farr.

Speaker 2 How many times did Farr do? Like three or four? Frank. Yeah, it was every year.

Speaker 2 It was every year that he was like, oh man, I don't have any money. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So he's going to come back.

Speaker 2 Spend all my money on litigation, Percocet.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 I don't have any money. Let me hit up the.

Speaker 1 I love it.

Speaker 6 Everyone just, you know, all the highlights come back. Everyone's gassing up Tom.
Like, I got no problem.

Speaker 1 So here, you're going to like this.

Speaker 6 We should just do this annually anyway.

Speaker 1 You're going to like these crazy stats. So Tom Brady has more Super Bowl wins than any single franchise.
He has seven. The Steelers and Patriots both have six.

Speaker 1 He is fifth all-time on playoff games one. So that's versus franchise as well.

Speaker 1 So the Patriots have 37 cowboys niners steelers packers all have 36 tom brady has 35 which is pretty fucking insane that's playoff wins all time uh he has more playoff games than oh because okay yeah the bucks yeah yeah he has more playoff games uh than 13 teams total So he just like all these franchises, Tom Brady is better than all these franchises.

Speaker 1 He has more playoff wins than the Browns, Jets, and Saints combined as franchises. You can do that combo with a lot of teams.

Speaker 6 Jets have been around for a while.

Speaker 1 A while. A while.
That's crazy. And the Saints won a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Here's a crazy one.

Speaker 1 If the Lions,

Speaker 1 for the next seven years,

Speaker 1 didn't get the one seed, but won the Super Bowl, so seven years in a row they won the Super Bowl, they would have the exact same amount of playoff wins in Super Bowls as Tom Brady.

Speaker 1 So they have to win seven straight to equal Tom Brady's career.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, he's the best of all time. I don't think that there's any.
You can't argue it.

Speaker 2 The people that were making the Joe Montana argument based on Super Bowl, I think even they have to give up at this point. Tom Brady is the best football player.
He's

Speaker 2 without question the best leader of football teams. He doesn't have any.

Speaker 2 I think what hurts him is when you think of other quarterbacks, you can point at exact throws and be like, look how otherworldly this guy was.

Speaker 2 But with Tom Brady, he was just incredible for a long time.

Speaker 2 Hank, why are you struggling?

Speaker 6 He felt like the entire 2008 season.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 2 he had nice passes to Randy Moss, but I'm saying he doesn't have like that many signature moments where he does something incredible that nobody else can do with their arm. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, that's fair.

Speaker 1 It's the argument of like who has better arm talent. Yeah.
Obviously, Tom Brady doesn't win that contest.

Speaker 2 I'm saying that he's the greatest football player of all time.

Speaker 2 I'm not trying to denigrate his career.

Speaker 2 I'm just saying he was that good with his mind and knew the game inside and out that he didn't have to have like Mahomes-type wacky plays, throwing the ball left-handed, underhand, behind his back, blindfolded.

Speaker 2 He was just an outstanding quarterback for a long, long period of time. And there's actually, he is, you could also make the case he's like the walking epitome of the butterfly effect, too.

Speaker 2 When it comes to his career, he did it all on his own. He earned it all on his own once he started playing, obviously.
And he worked his ass off.

Speaker 2 And he's obviously, you know, to be committed for all that. But for him to even get to the place where he ended up is kind of crazy.
So he got passed up 198 times in the draft, right?

Speaker 2 Anybody could have. The Patriots passed on him five times in the draft.
So he could end up in any other city playing. He only got in

Speaker 2 because Mo Lewis knocked out Drew Bledsoe

Speaker 2 in a game that had been postponed because of 9-11

Speaker 2 because

Speaker 2 the government funded Osama bin Laden and his fight against the Russians who invaded Afghanistan because

Speaker 2 of the Cold War, which existed because Hitler invaded Stalingrad in the wintertime, which happened because of World War I, which happened because Gavrilo Princip got assassinated or assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

Speaker 2 The assassination of the Archduke

Speaker 2 immediately led to Tom Brady's career in the NFL.

Speaker 2 But I'm joking about that, but obviously there's a lot of stuff like the tuck rule, crazy stuff that happened in his career that launched him off.

Speaker 2 He is the walking embodiment of of the butterfly effect and taking that and running with it and without a doubt forging the best NFL career of all time.

Speaker 1 The last crazy Tom Brady stat I have, this is from Tucker Boynton, who I think used to work here. Yep.

Speaker 1 Great stats guy. Yeah, he's a great stats guy.
He dug deep into this one, and it's mind-blowing.

Speaker 1 Tom Brady retired never having taken a snap when his team was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

Speaker 1 So including the postseason, 15,906 snaps, each with the possibility of winning the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 That's insane.

Speaker 6 And I think that's why, you know, people hate me because I'm a Patriots fans. People hate Patriots fans.

Speaker 1 No, they hate you because you're a detestable person and you have a terrible attitude and

Speaker 1 you're a troll. Regardless.
Yeah. The reason people hate

Speaker 6 Patriots fans is because they're cocky, but it truly felt for 20 years, my entire life growing up from when I was nine till I was whenever he retired, 27

Speaker 6 or whenever he left the Patriots, you knew they were going to be in the divisional round, and you were just wondering if they were going to be in the Super Bowl or not.

Speaker 6 And that's like, you know, it sounds cocky, but it's like that happened every single year. And like you just said, we were never, he was never mathematically eliminated.

Speaker 6 It was like clockwork.

Speaker 2 Your tweet yesterday pissed me off, though, when you were like, Thank you to Tom Brady for turning an entire region of America into winners.

Speaker 1 He did.

Speaker 1 I mean, his career is.

Speaker 6 He instilled winning into the entire New England region.

Speaker 2 And it's not like. That just makes me so mad to people.
But it's true.

Speaker 2 I know it's true, but it also pisses me off.

Speaker 6 Obviously, I miss it and we talk about how the season has been tough and stuff, but it's like, it's not,

Speaker 6 those memories last forever. I will always appreciate Tom.
I'll always love Tom no matter how much you guys try and gaslight and troll me.

Speaker 2 We gaslighted the last 10 minutes talking about how he is dick.

Speaker 1 No, I know, but you're trying to act like we don't have.

Speaker 6 You're trying to get in the way of our relationship.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, you got in the way of Tom Brady's relationship with you by stabbing him in the back.

Speaker 2 Pickett, I've noticed that we've spent the last 10 minutes talking about how great of a quarterback Tom Brady was, and Hank has spent zero time giving any facts about how great Tom Brady was, how much he loved him.

Speaker 2 He's just been mad at us.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I just and he also bet on the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 He bet on the Cowboys against the Bucs and

Speaker 6 a heartfelt, heartfelt thank you.

Speaker 2 Your heartfelt thank you was Tom Brady made me an alpha male.

Speaker 1 Tom Brady retires with Henry Lockwood being one 1-0 against him in his last game.

Speaker 6 That's also a fact. I did bet on the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you did. I'm going to check.

Speaker 6 Yeah, you did. I know you did.
I don't think I did.

Speaker 1 I know know you did. I don't think I did.
What are you going to say, Billy?

Speaker 10 To Hank's point, exactly a year ago today, published a blog, Craziest Tom Brady Statistics.

Speaker 10 New England's population from when he started his first game to retired today has increased by 3 million and has been like has a significant population boom compared to the rest of the country.

Speaker 1 So. Is that true? Yeah.
Huh.

Speaker 10 New England's population, it was something that someone pulled up from his first startup. Is that two,

Speaker 6 Max?

Speaker 1 What's that? Title Town.

Speaker 1 We're coming.

Speaker 1 They're next up. He may have indeed

Speaker 10 the population boom.

Speaker 1 Philly's next up. Yeah, I mean, it's crazy.
There's not ⁇ it's crazy. He is the best quarterback of all time.
It will be very hard for anyone to top that.

Speaker 1 Kyle Trask is now the starter for the Bucs as of right now.

Speaker 2 I do agree with Stephen Che that they should let Kyle Trask hand-select his next offensive quarterback. That's going to be important to get Kyle Trask into a system that he loves.

Speaker 2 Now, you ready for this murderous row of quarterbacks in the NFC South? That division's next up. Forget about the AFC West.
The division of quarterbacks is the NFC South.

Speaker 2 You have Kyle Trask, Desmond Ritter,

Speaker 2 Sam Darnold, ish, and maybe Jameis.

Speaker 1 And maybe Jameis or Andy Dolphins.

Speaker 2 If they're lucky.

Speaker 1 It will be interesting, like the ripple effect of this year.

Speaker 1 Because everyone thought Raiders, they thought Niners, they thought Dolphins. Now, where does Aaron Rodgers go? You know, I saw Devontae Adams tweeting about, you know, him coming to the Raiders.

Speaker 1 There is a piece off the table. And

Speaker 1 there were some people who were thinking, like, oh, Tom Brady's retiring because those three teams I just mentioned don't want him. I don't know.
I feel like the Niners.

Speaker 1 I mean, Jimmy Garoppolo, Kyle Shanahan said Jimmy Garoppolo is not coming back.

Speaker 1 They're into the abyss of Trey Lance and a torn UCL of Brock Purdy.

Speaker 2 Maybe Jimmy's not coming back because Kyle knows that Tom Brady's going to be there and he doesn't like having Jimmy Garoppolo around.

Speaker 1 So what do you think? So you said 25% chance? Yeah. So he's just going to retire and unretire?

Speaker 6 I think until there's five games played in the season.

Speaker 6 There's a 25% chance.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 He'll probably, I mean, he will stay in shape. It would be funny if Tom Brady got super fat.

Speaker 1 How fucking awesome would that be?

Speaker 2 If he gave up the entire TB12 lifestyle, started housing burgers and ice cream.

Speaker 1 He is going to

Speaker 6 do that and doesn't go more into the

Speaker 1 plastic surgery.

Speaker 1 Oh, Hank, he's going to have a very weird retirement. He's going to be plastic surgery, dating like random chicks all the time, the TB12.
He's going to do some weird shit.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 The way that Hank said that, you could tell that Hank knows.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no,

Speaker 1 he's going to be unrecognizable in 10 years.

Speaker 2 There's nobody that's ever had just a touch of plastic surgery.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because you get it, and then you're like, I got to get some more to even out this side.

Speaker 2 Just have a little plastic surgery as a treat.

Speaker 1 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 10 Billy. I think he's going to end up playing pickleball.

Speaker 1 Okay. I could just see him doing that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, retired people love that sports.

Speaker 1 In that new pickleball league. Yeah.
Because isn't he?

Speaker 1 Billy's calling a shot. All right, there we go, Billy.

Speaker 2 What if he decides to host Jeopardy just to piss off Aaron Rodgers? Like, I'm better than you at this. That would be very funny.
If you're a Jets fan,

Speaker 1 I know you're probably happy today, right?

Speaker 2 Because Tom Brady's done tormenting you. He'll never be around to hurt you again.

Speaker 2 But, Billy, as a Jets fan, would you have wanted Tom Brady to play on the Jets?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 10 Yeah, why wouldn't you?

Speaker 10 Because honestly, growing up watching him so much as a quarterback at one time, I used to study him, and I'd get so mad when he'd win, but it was just awe-inspiring to see the meticulous devotion to his craft, his mechanics.

Speaker 10 If you were playing quarterback and not watching Tom Brady and how he prepared, how he played, how he made checks of the line, how he held himself, then you weren't like.

Speaker 1 He also has three times the amount of wins, playoff wins, is the Jets franchise.

Speaker 6 I think 30 Jetson record against the Jets and a 90 and 22 record against the AFC East.

Speaker 1 Oh, God,

Speaker 2 if you're a Jets fan, you probably fall into one of two camps. One, a logical Jets fan that will say Tom Brady is, even if he's 45 years old, is the best quarterback that we've had shit probably

Speaker 1 ever. Yeah,

Speaker 1 probably ever.

Speaker 2 And then there's the illogical Jets fans who I love who would be like, fuck that guy. I hate him.
He's made my life hell for the last 20 years. Get him out of my face.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, his whole career is insane. That's why I was saying, like, you know, Mahomes is awesome, but what it will take for anyone to get seven Super Bowls is just insane.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 The dedication, the longevity, the like the teams turning over, that's the part.

Speaker 1 Like, if you're, and I'm not saying Mahomes can't do it, but you, if Mahomes were to do it, he has, that whole team has to turn over like three times.

Speaker 1 He's going to have guys like Travis Kelsey would be retired for 10 years by the time that Mahomes is chasing it.

Speaker 2 And the trick with Tom Brady, one of the reasons he was able to do it was because Giselle was making more money than he was. He was able to, at times, take less money.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. He was.

Speaker 2 For a couple points, he was the highest paid quarterback in the NFL, but there were a lot of years where they restructured and he put off payments because he could afford to do that.

Speaker 2 Patrick Mahomes, I don't know if the TikTok money coming in is good enough from Jackson to support him and his family, but that's going to be tough to manage when you're making like $500 million with the Coastal Contract.

Speaker 1 Joe Burrows due for a big contract. We'll see what he does.

Speaker 2 Does he owe us any money? Does he owe us 10%? I think he does.

Speaker 1 I think he should probably just wet the beak a little bit.

Speaker 2 Or a shopping spree? Yeah. We still need that.

Speaker 1 All right, other things. So we're getting ready for the Super Bowl.
We're going to be in Arizona all week. Sunday's show will be taped from Arizona.

Speaker 1 The only other thing I had, because we did all of our Super Bowl storylines from on Wednesday's show, we did miss. Everyone corrected us.
We knew we were going to fuck it up. Dick Vermeal.

Speaker 1 Dick Vermeal is the quintessential. Took a long time off, came back and won a Super Bowl with the Rams.
Bill Parcells was the other one.

Speaker 2 Parcells is pretty good. I think we mentioned him.
Bruce Arians. You could also say he stepped away, came back, won a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so I mean, that was one that we knew that we just were fucking it up in the moment.

Speaker 1 But that's the beauty of the show. We say a lot of dumb shit.
Speaking of dumb shit being said, I got a question. What the hell is going on with the Cowboys?

Speaker 1 So, have you guys seen the quotes that are coming out of the Cowboys recently? I've not.

Speaker 1 Jerry Jones, I think it was like three or four days ago, said he wants Mike McCarthy to coach the Cowboys as long as Tom Landry. Tom Landry coached the Cowboys for 28 years.

Speaker 1 Stephen Jones today said he wants Dak to be their quarterback for the next 10 years. I don't know what the Cowboys, it feels like.

Speaker 2 If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Speaker 1 It feels like everyone's about to get fired because why else would you talk like this?

Speaker 2 It sounds like Jerry's doing the thing, sometimes old people do this, where they're layering a statement inside their other statement by saying i want him to coach for as long as tom landry implying that he wants him to be as successful as tom landry right which would mean that he would then be the coach for that long also if you know anything about jerry jones and the way that he treated tom landry that's not exactly a great sign for mike mccarthy well he's got he's got 26 years until that happens but jerry jones like locked him out of the building yeah took his key card

Speaker 2 the legend of the organization lost a whole bunch of cowboys fans until he started winning again like saying i want him to be my tom Landry,

Speaker 2 that's not necessarily a good omen for Big Mike. Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 But it is weird stuff coming out of Cowboys camp. I just like those two statements together.
I was like, huh? Yeah. That's a little weird.

Speaker 2 I've got one thing I just want to bring up real quick because I've been thinking about what I'm going to do for the Super Bowl. You've got your massive future, right? Yep.

Speaker 2 I don't know what Hank's going to do.

Speaker 1 Hank's probably going to try to double down on the Cowboys.

Speaker 6 Probably.

Speaker 1 I had an epiphany.

Speaker 2 I had an epiphany this morning.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I need to be a good friend.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 2 Would a good friend root against his buddy to lose $200,000?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, no, you're a good friend.

Speaker 2 Hank.

Speaker 2 I think it's impossible for me to, in good conscience, root against you

Speaker 2 when you have that much money on the line.

Speaker 1 I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 So I've decided, I'm going to, what was your bet that your initial future?

Speaker 1 It's $8,500 to win $192,000.

Speaker 2 I'll put $8,500 on the Eagles. Ooh.
I'll put $8,500 on the Eagles.

Speaker 1 I won't hedge.

Speaker 2 So that's the other thing. If you hedge,

Speaker 2 you're a mistake. Big cat, if you decide to hedge,

Speaker 2 I'm going to then put $17,000 on the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's fair. No, I'm not going to hedge.

Speaker 2 Okay, so I'm going to ride. I'm going to put $8,500, not your stakes, but...

Speaker 1 I like my team. I like the team.
My team is on the floor.

Speaker 2 As far as I'm concerned on this podcast, we have to have each other's back. Yes.
Football is family.

Speaker 1 You and I. You and I have to be afraid of the family.

Speaker 1 Football is still a mistake. No, everyone.
Listen,

Speaker 2 I'll be the crunchy granola mom of the family. I've got enough nipples for everybody.
Come in. Have a suck if you want to.
We'll all feast together. We can ride.

Speaker 1 It's just a big, it'll be a fucking, the energy will be top-notch, and Hank will just be sitting there rooting for the Gatorade bath and rooting against us.

Speaker 2 But the second you hedge.

Speaker 1 No, I'm not going to hedge. I'm not going to hedge.
I'm not going to hedge. I might live hedge, and I'll be sitting next to you, so I'll tell you if that happens.
But I'm not going to hedge.

Speaker 1 Like, if the Eagles go up

Speaker 1 big in the first quarter, then I might be like, all right, right, now it's worth, you know, a little bit, but no pregame hedge. There we go.
Friend. None.
None. Thank you, PFT.

Speaker 2 Hank. Hashtag good friends.

Speaker 1 Would you like to wear maybe a Jalen Hurts jersey on the stream?

Speaker 6 Definitely not going to do that, but I'm also not going to bet on the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 Oh, thank you.

Speaker 6 I'm just going to find a, I'm going to go prop hunting.

Speaker 1 We all go down together. We all go down together.

Speaker 2 Here's what's going to happen.

Speaker 2 Hank's not going to bet on the Chiefs, but he's going to have... a look of contentment on his face when the Chiefs start scoring touchdowns.

Speaker 1 Yo,

Speaker 1 he's going to be like, I'm not betting on the Chiefs. I'm just going to go prop hunting.

Speaker 1 I have Patrick Mahomes over 400 yards, Patrick Mahomes over three and a half touchdowns, Travis Kelsey, two touchdowns.

Speaker 1 It's going to be just, you know, Eagles team total under, you know, 10, alternate team total under. Like, he's just going to do that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I'm just going to, you know what? I'm not going to bet on the on the Chiefs, but I'm going to bet on the Empire State Building to be lit up in red and white after midnight tonight.

Speaker 7 No, again, like, I love you guys.

Speaker 6 You guys always are trying to be divisive and turn everyone against me.

Speaker 7 I love you, too, Hannah.

Speaker 6 I hope you win your future, big cat. Thank you.
That's all I'm going to say about that.

Speaker 1 Okay. I appreciate it.
All right. So

Speaker 1 before we do our interviews, we had two great interviews, Josh Dumel and Corey Kispert.

Speaker 6 Hottest guy that's ever been on the couch.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Corey Kispert is pretty good looking. Agreed.

Speaker 1 Were you here for that? He is hot.

Speaker 2 I wasn't here. He's a very good-looking man.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 He is very good-looking. And we gave him some advice during the interview.
And looking at his recent stat line, it looks like he's actually been following. He's been following the advice.

Speaker 2 We Know Ball.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. I have the robot question for you.

Speaker 1 How many rounds of golf are you going to be golfing in Arizona?

Speaker 6 During Super Bowl week when we're working, zero.

Speaker 2 What about after?

Speaker 6 I'm taking the week off after Super Bowl week, a little PTO, if that's allowed, if you guys approve it.

Speaker 3 No, it is, yeah.

Speaker 6 And I'm probably going to play like

Speaker 6 what's 72 plus 18? 90?

Speaker 1 90 rounds. 90 holes.

Speaker 2 Holes of golf. That was good mental math.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 So any days that you're doing 36?

Speaker 6 We're planning. We're still going through the plans with the boys.

Speaker 6 I have a friend that lives out there. A couple of my other friends are coming out.
It's a little boys' golf trip. Probably going to do 36 on Tuesday.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 When do we tape the show for Wednesday? We will have, so after the Super Bowl week, we have obviously Monday's show will be live from Arizona after the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 We'll have a show on Wednesday, and then we have Dungeon and Dragons coming on that Friday.

Speaker 6 Well, if you know, that's obviously if you guys approve the PTO, if you say, no, I have to work Tuesday, I obviously will.

Speaker 1 I like having you on this show.

Speaker 2 I've decided to take your PTO request under consideration.

Speaker 2 And so we're going to have the boys in HR take a look at it and just make sure you've dotted all your I's crossed your T's.

Speaker 1 It just feels like 36 holes is a lot of holes.

Speaker 1 Are you in shape? Super Bowl abs are here, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, kind of. Let's see them.

Speaker 6 No,

Speaker 6 don't defile me. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Objectify me. Super Bowl's 10 days away.
That's true.

Speaker 1 You've got 10 days to get the abs going.

Speaker 1 Listen, I told Prisco I was going to get abs. Unfortunately, they have not shown up yet.

Speaker 3 Look, listen, big cat.

Speaker 6 You're spending all your free time with your kids. I don't chirp you for that.

Speaker 1 Just because I don't have kids, I like to spend my free time playing golf.

Speaker 1 I don't know

Speaker 1 what's wrong with that. Well, I mean, yeah, you're right.
Free time. Like, two kids is a lot, isn't it?

Speaker 1 Yeah. So

Speaker 1 Tuesday,

Speaker 1 you're going to play 36 holes.

Speaker 6 If you guys approve.

Speaker 2 I approve. I have not yet approved yet.

Speaker 1 We got to both turn the key. Yeah.
Actually, I'll let you know after the Super Bowl. Yeah, because if the Chiefs win, you're working on Tuesday.
That's a fact. That is...

Speaker 1 That's a fact.

Speaker 1 Tuesday, you're working.

Speaker 1 If the Chiefs win, you're flying back to New York just for Tuesday's show. If the Eagles win,

Speaker 1 you can get a month off.

Speaker 2 If the Chiefs win, how about what if if Hank just did the podcast himself? Oh, Hank Tuesday?

Speaker 6 I don't think that's good for anyone.

Speaker 2 Wait, Billy's about to say Hank and me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm down. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I would like to hear Hank do a two-hour solo podcast.

Speaker 2 Hank's corner.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 So it's set. We'll find out.

Speaker 1 We will be in Arizona, though, on Sunday.

Speaker 1 And it's going to be an awesome week. It's going to be great.

Speaker 1 We have some pretty big interviews lined up, some pretty big guests. We also have an awesome interview coming Monday that we've already taped.

Speaker 6 A little teaser. Live if people like the bowling stream, we're doing live mini golf on Wednesday.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that sounds like fun.

Speaker 1 Jake, how are you feeling after the bowling stream?

Speaker 2 Uh, so far, still good. Get to my firefest.

Speaker 1 Okay, all right, okay, Max.

Speaker 6 Okay, I was watching back. Oh, sorry.

Speaker 1 Feel great. Also, shout out to everyone who watched.

Speaker 2 The numbers were awesome.

Speaker 1 Insane, like almost half a million people.

Speaker 9 Insane.

Speaker 6 I was watching back and skimming through, and

Speaker 6 Jake, in the very beginning, when his ball wasn't spitting back to him, him, they came over and like opened up the thing and Jake saw the inside and he was like genuinely like, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 He's like, wow, guys, did you see this? It is cool.

Speaker 1 It was so funny.

Speaker 1 It was fun. We're definitely going to next year's punishment.
We realized, and this is a testament to the AWLs, like... A lot of people were just like, hey, I had it on in the background.

Speaker 1 It was cool to hang out with you guys all day. So we will make sure that whatever the punishment is next year is something similar that people can just hang out with us all day.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it was a lot of fun.

Speaker 6 And if you missed it, PMTV, YouTube, we're going to put a full recap out, I think, later today because we need a couple extra time to edit. Okay.
There's a lot of people.

Speaker 7 A couple holes in there.

Speaker 1 Golf holes. No.

Speaker 1 I'm locked in. Super Bowl week, Super Bowl week.

Speaker 2 But the second that game's over.

Speaker 1 What if I want to play golf a Super Bowl week with you?

Speaker 6 I would be like, we have no time.

Speaker 1 Okay, but what if I said, let's

Speaker 1 you know what? This fucking job, screw it. Let's play some golf, Hank.

Speaker 6 I would help you set that up. Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. Maybe we'll play some.

Speaker 1 All my clubs out there.

Speaker 2 I'm going to be busy working, so I'm not going to be able to do it, Hank. But best of luck to you.
Mini golf Wednesday.

Speaker 1 Yeah, mini golf Wednesday.

Speaker 2 All right. Yeah.
Listen, if you do what you love, you never work a day in your life. That's facts.

Speaker 6 That's how I feel. That's facts.

Speaker 2 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 2 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 2 My personal favorite: the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, Hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 2 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 2 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Okay, here he is, Josh Dumo.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest.

Speaker 3 It is Josh Dumel. He's got a new movie out.

Speaker 1 It's called Shotgun Wedding. It's on Prime Video.
Go check it out now.

Speaker 1 Thank you for joining us in studio. We have a couple issues we've got to get to.
So we're going to get to the Vikings thing.

Speaker 1 Shotgun Wedding. Let's talk about it.

Speaker 1 I took A-Rod's side in the breakup with J-Love. So I don't know where you want to go from here, but

Speaker 1 I am a former intern at the Corp, A-Rod's company.

Speaker 1 I'm a ride-or-die A-Rod guy, so this might not work out, me and you.

Speaker 8 Well, listen, I was there when it was going south. Oh, no.
We were shooting this when it was.

Speaker 8 I mean, I don't know it well enough.

Speaker 8 I didn't ask her too much about it. Yeah, yeah.
But listen, yeah, he's an amazing baseball player.

Speaker 1 I don't know what he's like. Okay, that's good.
That's respect. I don't know what he's like in a sack.

Speaker 8 Yeah, yeah, that's respect.

Speaker 1 I don't know if that's what this is about.

Speaker 1 I don't know. We don't know.
You know, people break up for all different types of reasons, but as long as you respect them, we can move forward, me and you. I could respect him.

Speaker 8 Of course, I can.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 2 Maybe he was too good in the sack.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Maybe

Speaker 1 away. Probably.
Yeah. Yeah.
He's just, he's, I mean, he's a beast.

Speaker 8 He's carried a big bat.

Speaker 1 Yeah, look at him. He's just, I mean, he's built like a gun.
He can handle that libido. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Some wild bucks are just meant to roam free.

Speaker 1 Exactly.

Speaker 1 Exactly. So, wait, so did you,

Speaker 1 this movie, Shotgun Wedding, go check it out on Prime Video. Did you, like, getting into,

Speaker 1 is it hard to play a fake relationship with someone like J-Lo, who's super famous, like star?

Speaker 1 Everyone knows J-Lo, and getting into that, like, we need to make it seem like we're intimately know each other.

Speaker 8 Well, that was, that was the main thing for me when we first,

Speaker 8 I don't know, you may or may not know the circumstances surrounding me getting this job. I'm not even sure I'm supposed to talk about it, but.

Speaker 1 Wait, what shot?

Speaker 8 This one.

Speaker 3 Like, shotgun wedding or acting in Jotung?

Speaker 1 Shotgun shotgun. Oh, okay.

Speaker 8 What are the circumstances? Nah.

Speaker 1 We'll cut it. Don't worry.
We'll cut it.

Speaker 8 It's the whole Army Hammer.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 That's wild. Well, credit to Josh Dumel.
He doesn't eat people.

Speaker 2 Was that, yeah?

Speaker 1 Was that weird for you? Like, when Army Hammer... Oh, God, I know that.
I shouldn't have brought it up.

Speaker 2 When the report came out and they're like, well, we can't have a cannibal on set. Were you like, you know what? I feel like I'm the non-cannibal version of Army Hammer.

Speaker 3 You're the best out there.

Speaker 1 Did the next person.

Speaker 8 I was pissed off they didn't come to me first. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Your agent should market you as being like, Josh Dumel has never eaten a person well i've never even thought about i'm definitely more age appropriate yes yes that's so you know what though i like you josh because that you did the thing that i love whenever guests sit down they're like i don't know if i should talk about they just went and said it yeah like yes i mean yeah it happened we can't you know it happened it happened who knows what the real story is behind it all yeah you know uh but so you get to ask to answer your question when i was When I met with them,

Speaker 8 they said they like me for this role. They want to get on a Zoom with the director with J-Lo.

Speaker 8 And will you, are you? I read the script, like the script. And so I sat with her over Zoom and I said, exactly what you just said is that if we don't, if the audience doesn't buy us as a couple,

Speaker 8 it'll never work. So you need to trust me and I need to trust you.
And let's just focus on what are like, let's just be like...

Speaker 8 start there and then all the craziness can ensue from that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 How do you do that with somebody that you're playing a character who's madly in love with your co-lead?

Speaker 2 Do you get to know each other before you start shooting do you hang out together do you experience things together to start developing that chemistry or is it just like we're going to put you in a room well go for it yeah i mean it's it's not always so easy some girls are much easier to get to than others and she's real

Speaker 8 down to earth she really is jenny from the block in a lot of ways she's still that big superstar but you know when you get down to it she's very accessible she's easy to communicate with it was never it never felt like i was trying to get through all that other stuff it was very easy on on the set.

Speaker 8 And that's what,

Speaker 8 that's why I just, I love the girl. I love the girl for that.
She's, you know, she's, she is who she is, but she's also still, you know,

Speaker 8 able to be a normal person. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So you've had a, you've had a long career. You've been doing it for a long time.

Speaker 1 Is there a moment where you like look back and say, wow, I've, because actors, it's not, you know, there's some guys who, you know, will be a flash in the pan or you'll see him and then it's just, you never hear from them again.

Speaker 1 What is it about you that has that longevity?

Speaker 8 I don't know, man. I feel like I'm still trying to claw my way.

Speaker 1 Really?

Speaker 8 And I don't think I ever really believed I belonged in the business for so long, so I had to work a little bit harder.

Speaker 8 I remember my first time on

Speaker 8 all my children here in New York back in 99, my very first job. I was fucking terrified.

Speaker 8 Because I knew that I stepped on, I remember getting on camera on, you know, on the stage and the camera's rolling. And all I could think about was, oh my God, everybody back home is watching this.

Speaker 8 I'm on TV right now. And everybody knows that I'm not an actor.
I'm just fooling. They're going to think I'm a fraud.
And I felt like that for years.

Speaker 8 And I think that I just had to work my way through it.

Speaker 1 So I had to just bust my ass, I guess. I don't know.
Yeah, because everyone thinks of acting as, you know, like the glitz and the glamour. But, you know, you guys.

Speaker 8 work very hard to have that longevity to be in all these shows movies everything yeah and i really do like the process i'm not in it for the fame i i mean it's nice, but it's truly for me.

Speaker 8 It's the process of making it that

Speaker 8 I think that I'm able to kind of exercise a lot of demons. Because in this business, it's easy to answer your question.

Speaker 8 There's a lot of pitfalls and traps that you can fall into, which I've been very close to falling into many times.

Speaker 8 that can derail your career quickly.

Speaker 2 Cannibalism.

Speaker 1 Cannibalism is one of them. It's one of them.
Big no-no.

Speaker 2 Good on you for skipping that one.

Speaker 8 It's not looked lightly on in the news. Yeah, no.
It's frowned upon.

Speaker 2 Is there any particular role or type of role that you want to get into that you want to try your hand at in the future?

Speaker 2 Maybe some other demon you want to exercise or some type of character that you haven't gotten to play yet?

Speaker 8 I never really know until I read it, to be honest.

Speaker 8 I've been able to do a lot of different things.

Speaker 8 And the truth is, when we're talking about, like, this is almost therapeutic for me in some ways.

Speaker 8 Like, for me, when I first started doing it, I was terrified and I didn't know if I could do it or if I belonged here.

Speaker 8 But the more I worked on things, and when I had to go to the darkest places in some of these parts that I played, I found it to be like cathartic in a weird way.

Speaker 8 Because you got to go to these places you would never otherwise look at. You know, the shadows of your personality rather than just like the, you know, the

Speaker 8 cute little happy parts of it. Yeah.

Speaker 8 And that, I think, is what I,

Speaker 8 you know, in a lot of ways,

Speaker 8 it's a way to sort of

Speaker 8 experience things that I never would have otherwise done.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I'm hearing the Joker.

Speaker 1 I'm hearing the Joker. The Joker would be great.
I mean, it's probably not going to happen, but how far into the depths and shadows did you have to go for win a date with Tad Hamilton?

Speaker 8 Not very deep.

Speaker 3 But he was dealing, that character was dealing with some stuff.

Speaker 1 You should have gotten Kate Bosworth, not Topher Grace.

Speaker 8 Really? Yeah.

Speaker 1 He was an asshole.

Speaker 8 Agreed. Maybe not in the long run.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 2 I think she made the right choice for the movie.

Speaker 1 No, I don't know.

Speaker 8 You don't ever want to trust a movie star, man.

Speaker 1 No, I don't know.

Speaker 1 All right, so we got to talk about the Vikings. Okay.

Speaker 2 Yes, sir.

Speaker 1 Do you want to apologize to us? Because we were right about the Vikings all year long, and Vikings fans were always coming at us being like, oh, we're 13 and 4. Like, we're really good.

Speaker 1 Like, no, no, no, no. Nuh.
Uh-uh. We actually were going to get a tattoo of Kirk Cousins on our asses if the Vikings won a Super Bowl.
Really? Because we were that convinced that the Vikings

Speaker 8 were not

Speaker 8 a Super Bowl caliber team. Yeah, I mean, I think that you're probably right, especially now in retrospect, because they were,

Speaker 8 I'll put it this way, they made big strides.

Speaker 8 We won games, we typically lose this year.

Speaker 8 They're usually a team that blows the lead rather than comes back in the end and wins it. That's just kind of their MO.

Speaker 8 So I think Kevin O'Connell did a great job sort of getting these guys to believe.

Speaker 8 The problem is that,

Speaker 8 and I would even say Kirk Cousins had a good year.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he did.

Speaker 8 I have been down on him his whole, like, I've talked a lot of shit about Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 1 We have two years.

Speaker 8 But I got to say, the guy played pretty well. The problem is he's like Dak.

Speaker 2 He's got a cap, and

Speaker 8 he's never going to take you all the way. He's going to do something stupid in the end.

Speaker 8 He's going to check down when you got to go when you're on fourth and nine or whatever they were.

Speaker 2 You're doing our episode from three months ago.

Speaker 8 It's like, you got to know the situation. And he always seems to make those little mistakes, even though he had a great year.

Speaker 1 You know, the defense sales

Speaker 8 stats terror. And then there's the defense.

Speaker 8 And the Vikings' defense is usually solid, like really good.

Speaker 8 But for whatever reason, this year, they just were not.

Speaker 8 And we have the players.

Speaker 8 They got rid of the DC, so we'll see who they bring in.

Speaker 2 I will say something nice about Kirk Cousins, and I have not admitted this on this show before. I think that Kirk Cousins can win a Super Bowl.
You do?

Speaker 3 He needs to to have

Speaker 1 backing up Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 2 I was going to say, he needs to have Josh Allen make his way over to Minnesota.

Speaker 2 No, I think that he could if he had a great defense. If he had a great defense, he could win the most boring Super Bowl of all time.

Speaker 2 He's not going to go out there and beat somebody in a shootout on his own. That's not really, that's not how I see Kirk Cousins operating in the playoffs because he doesn't really take chances.

Speaker 2 You said it. He'll check down.
He's a very good quarterback, very nice guy.

Speaker 2 but i think if everything was perfect around him including like an all-world defense yeah then he could win a score yeah they have the weapons on offense for sure

Speaker 1 um

Speaker 8 yeah and i think that if we get that if we get that same defense we usually have there's a i i mean listen anybody can win this thing with the with the right you know ingredients it just helps when you got a quarterback that makes big plays and it also

Speaker 1 helps when the the biggest problem is that he gets a lot of money kirk cousins gets paid a lot of money i wish he was as good as his agent man Yeah.

Speaker 2 I mean, I think he's first team all-money earner in NFL history. He's maximized.
He plays the game the perfect way to get paid a shitload of money, but then on the other hand, he gets all that money.

Speaker 2 And now you can't really go out and spend big on multiple defensive players.

Speaker 8 No. And

Speaker 8 yeah, I think that he,

Speaker 8 I don't know, I just feel like he's, what was I going to say?

Speaker 3 You were a quarterback, right?

Speaker 8 I was.

Speaker 2 How do you analyze Kirk Cousins' game as a quarterback?

Speaker 8 Well, listen, I'm nowhere near as good as he was, obviously.

Speaker 1 We don't know that. We don't know that.
We don't know that. Okay, pop quiz.

Speaker 2 It's fourth and eight, and you have Justin Jefferson running downfield. You also have a tight end that's at the line of scrimmage who's about to get tackled for a two-yard gain.

Speaker 2 It's make or break play on your season. Who do you pass the ball to?

Speaker 8 Well, you're going to throw it to Justin Jefferson all day. You're pretty good.

Speaker 1 That's more better than him. That's my problem.

Speaker 1 My problem is

Speaker 1 that

Speaker 8 he's got the skill. He's got the talent.

Speaker 8 He makes the throws. He can make all the throws.
It's just things like that. It's like, dude, and who am I? He did have a guy in his face.
He needed to get rid of it, but you still got to throw it

Speaker 8 at least to where the guy's got a chance to catch it. You would have made that throw.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty confident you would have made that throw. I don't know, man.
You would have sidestepped, sidearm, sling it, touchdown.

Speaker 8 Who do you think's the best quarterback in the league right now? It's Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
I don't even think it's a debate.

Speaker 2 Or Joe Burrow.

Speaker 1 I don't think Joe Burrow's up there now.

Speaker 1 But I mean,

Speaker 1 Joe owns Patrick Mahomes. He does.
But Patrick Mahomes is special.

Speaker 8 That's the thing. Well, he's special, but I mean,

Speaker 1 there's that.

Speaker 8 What would you rather have? The guy who can make all the crazy plays or the guy who's able to elevate, like a Brady, who can elevate the players around him and win championships?

Speaker 1 I think Mahomes can do both.

Speaker 8 I think he can, too. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, I just...

Speaker 8 But Burrow's pretty impressive.

Speaker 1 No, Burrow's incredible. And maybe it's like one of those things where

Speaker 1 kind of like a Brady Manning where, you know,

Speaker 1 Mahomes won a Super Bowl early enough in his career that he's not going to have that Manning, you know, that stretch where it's like, Can you win the big one?

Speaker 1 But there was a time period where Manning would have the regular season, and then Brady would have the postseason.

Speaker 1 So, maybe there's something there where it's like Mahomes will put up the numbers and Burrow might win the titles. I don't know.

Speaker 8 Yeah, that'd be interesting. It's interesting, and it's hard to find those quarterbacks.
He's not, there's nothing flashy about his game, really, but he just seems to make the

Speaker 1 plays. It is hard to find those quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 He just seems like with Mahomes, he does, he runs around a lot and he makes incredible plays that you don't see anybody else make. With Joe, he just kind of never gets to the point where he has to.

Speaker 2 He never looks like his hair's on fire. No.

Speaker 1 He always looks like...

Speaker 2 He's unflappable. Yeah,

Speaker 2 every single step, every move that he makes, it's like he was planning on doing that before the play even started.

Speaker 1 So what type of Vikings fan are you? Are you doom and gloom? Like every year it's going to be the same? Or are you like...

Speaker 3 No, I believe we are.

Speaker 1 You believe this year?

Speaker 8 I always believe it's our year. And this year, I think we were inching.
I thought that Zimmer took us.

Speaker 8 he left the team better than where he found it yeah and i think koc is now taking it to another level now we just got to figure out how to figure that defense so were you like this year you were like yeah we're 13-4 we're good yeah but we got our asses kicked too many times yeah really trust it i didn't trust them but i knew that if things came together at the right time we had a chance it is it is funny because I think the Vikings,

Speaker 1 weirdly, if they had lost maybe one or two more games, they would have been talked about differently. Where it's like, oh, you know what? They're building the right thing.

Speaker 1 They're going in the right direction because I do believe that. They have a ton of talent.
It's just that when you go 13 and 4, everyone expects like, you're one of the best teams in the league.

Speaker 1 And it's like, we all kind of knew that they weren't. So in a weird way, if they had gone 10 and 7,

Speaker 1 the season would have been looked at differently. You know? Yeah.
Like, hey, step in the right direction, still got some things to work on. No one expected him to win at all.

Speaker 1 But when you get to the 13, 14 wins, everyone starts putting pressure on him.

Speaker 3 Right, right.

Speaker 8 It's hard to be 13 wins with the worst defense in the league. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They were the lowest, like 32. Wow, shouldn't Kirk Cousins be the MVP?

Speaker 2 This might be as good.

Speaker 1 That's a good, that's a good argument.

Speaker 8 I just don't know what happened there on that defense. I think it was it, their scheme? I don't know.

Speaker 1 They were just bad. They made Daniel Jones look incredible.
They made Daniel Jones a lot of money. And the Eagles.

Speaker 8 Yeah. And there's a good example of what a good defense can do.
Right, exactly.

Speaker 2 The good news for the Vikings, you didn't lose in heartbreaking fashion, in truly like classic heartbreaking fashion. Like we usually do.
There was no Blair Walsh.

Speaker 8 No. Yeah.
And I mean, this fucking team, I can swear here.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you can say whatever you want. Shit, fuck, motherfucker.

Speaker 1 This team,

Speaker 8 every year finds a new way to break your heart. Yeah.
This year didn't feel like it. I think we all kind of, like you said, knew that

Speaker 8 unless things really came together perfectly, we weren't going to, we were not. I think the four best teams are in there right now.

Speaker 8 Yeah. Diners, Eagles, Bills, Bengals.

Speaker 1 I know. Chiefs, Bengals.

Speaker 2 I mean, the win that you had against the Bills, that might have been your Super Bowl this year. That was an awesome game.

Speaker 2 That was the type of game where, if you're not a Vikings fan, you wish that maybe you temporarily could have been a Vikings fan for that one weekend.

Speaker 8 Yeah, that was a good one. And then the Colts game.
Remember that comeback game?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 8 It was an exciting year.

Speaker 1 Yeah. 33-0.

Speaker 1 But we should have never been down 33-0.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 That's also good point.

Speaker 2 You let Jeff Saturday's offense put up 30. Well, no, there was some like defense and special team stuff that happened that game, too.
But yeah, what a great second half that was.

Speaker 1 Do you hate Aaron Rodgers as much as I do? We can find common ground there.

Speaker 8 As a Packer, but I like, I mean, I know him, and he's a good dude.

Speaker 8 But

Speaker 8 I was not upset to see him.

Speaker 8 I was hoping they weren't going to make the playoffs just because I didn't think they deserved to be there. He had his worst year I've seen him play.

Speaker 8 But he's so good.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Hell of a quarterback.
Football.

Speaker 1 Like being a human being, no. Really?

Speaker 8 Yeah. You know him? No.

Speaker 1 I mean, we've interviewed him. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It wasn't my

Speaker 3 cup of tea.

Speaker 1 What are you going to say about me when I leave here? Oh, we're going to trash you up. Like, this guy took J-Lo's side in the breakup?

Speaker 2 It's bullshit. The easiest way to get into Big Cat's heart is to just be like, fuck Aaron.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you could have just, yeah, he blocked. Fuck Aaron or something.
Aaron Gonzalez in prison.

Speaker 8 Does this help? When they lost that game to the Lions at the end of the season, I said, I tweeted or instant story to whatever it was. I said,

Speaker 8 hey, Aaron, now you can R-E-L-A-X.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 yes, that's big.

Speaker 8 You know, now he's in the back tolerance. Yeah, you're going to have to see him at Pebble Beach next week or two or two.

Speaker 1 Tell him I say. You'll play golf with him.
I'll say Big Cat says hello. Yeah, fuck fuck you.

Speaker 1 No, that's exactly what I would say. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I heard a little birdie told me a story that this would make our relationship even stronger.

Speaker 1 Your ex-wife, Fergie, you were in Italy filming something, and she would come and bring tins of dip for you. She would.

Speaker 1 That's a guy's guy. I like that.
Holy shit, that's a guy's guy.

Speaker 8 You know, when you're in a place, where was that, Italy?

Speaker 1 I don't know. You tell me, it's your life.

Speaker 8 I do remember bringing like a, she had this giant duffel bag, and there was like 30 cans of cold pictures in it.

Speaker 1 That's awesome. Wow.
I love that. I love that.
That's true love.

Speaker 8 Yeah. Thank you for supporting this terrible habit.

Speaker 1 Yes. I just heard that story and I was like, I fucking love Josh Chamel.
That's fucking cool.

Speaker 2 Did she bring that from the United States or did you buy it over there?

Speaker 8 No, no, no, from the U.S. because they didn't sell it there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's like you're in prison. She's like, what is my, what does he need?

Speaker 8 It was like a conjugal visit.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I did that.

Speaker 2 I was visiting my friend in Qatar for the World Cup, and he asked me at the last minute hey can you bring a bunch of zinn for me and so i packed a whole bunch of zin in my backpack and then i got there and i got to the got to the apartment they were staying at and then they showed me like online it's like one of the most illegal things that you can do in qatar is you don't smuggle zen

Speaker 2 but i didn't know any better so i wasn't like nervous i wasn't sweating it out going through customs yeah yeah how did you get your coke there uh in the zen packets oh yeah i see the little thing on top

Speaker 2 oh you look for the fastest camel and then you go up to him and you know something wedged up his ass.

Speaker 1 Where are we at with Draymond Green?

Speaker 8 Still hate him? Oh, Draymond. Fade on sight?

Speaker 1 We'll defend you.

Speaker 1 So for me, we don't know when you were married.

Speaker 3 It actually was after you guys had already broke.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we'd already been divorced. Yeah, and Fergie did the national anthem and Draymond Green laughed and

Speaker 1 you came at him, which I, that's a fucking respectable move.

Speaker 8 I was like, I don't know, man. I mean, he's a hell of a player, but I don't know.
He just feels like.

Speaker 1 It was a low-class move by him.

Speaker 8 yeah i don't know all right i mean listen it wasn't her best work yeah but that's okay but i've seen her crush this that's what i was like what are you doing yeah she's crushed the the national anthem right but i don't know and you know

Speaker 8 i probably was not a good move for me to go after the golden state warriors i'm never gonna win that yeah i'm never gonna win that but we they got me good i took a hard l on that one it's it's uh you know with shannon sharp and going after the grizzlies like we should just be like hey draymond you know if you see any of us in the street it's hands hands

Speaker 8 on Joshua's back.

Speaker 8 He's pretty big, man.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, no, we get our ass. Probably kick my ass.
Yeah, no, for sure. Kicker.

Speaker 8 I just can't win this one.

Speaker 1 I'd go down honorably.

Speaker 3 You could take Clay out.

Speaker 8 You could take him? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Oh, Max definitely could take him.
He's a Philly scumbag. It's light work.
Yeah, I got him. I got him for sure.

Speaker 2 You could take Clay or Steph. I feel like you've got them.
You're a football player. They're a basketball player.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, no, Draymond.
Draymond would be done.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you got, yeah. I like that move, though, to have her back.

Speaker 8 Like, I do have her.

Speaker 1 I mean, she's the I love Ferg.

Speaker 8 We still have a great relationship. Um, she's the mother of my kid.

Speaker 8 You know, I just felt like you don't need to do that, right?

Speaker 3 She's already getting

Speaker 1 enough.

Speaker 8 Um,

Speaker 1 so yeah, it was a respectful move.

Speaker 2 Thank you. I got an acting question for you.
I've asked this to a bunch of different people that have come in on this show about

Speaker 2 dying on screen. Have you ever died in a movie?

Speaker 1 Um,

Speaker 2 oh, yeah, what's it like?

Speaker 1 Uh, I had a brutal death in him.

Speaker 8 It was a series on Hulu with James Franco called

Speaker 8 112263.

Speaker 8 And I got strangled to death by him, I believe,

Speaker 8 with this telephone cord. And it was just like, this is the worst character I've probably ever played.
And

Speaker 1 yeah.

Speaker 8 I mean, there's been a few of them, I think.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I would have

Speaker 2 just like stop breathing, keep your eyes open. I would want to blink.

Speaker 1 My eyes open. It was like a.

Speaker 8 I was like, right, the camera's right here.

Speaker 1 Blood coming out.

Speaker 1 See, I'd breathe. I would breathe.
I would fuck up with the eye body.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was cool. That was cool.
That was really cool.

Speaker 1 Is there like when you wake up in the morning, you look in the mirror, you're like, yep.

Speaker 6 Got it.

Speaker 8 Less and less, my man.

Speaker 1 No, come on.

Speaker 1 You're aging well. Aiding fast.
No, you have to though when you walk in a room you're like i know that everyone's looking at me and they're like oh that guy's hot

Speaker 1 i mean i did it yeah when did you realize for the first time that you were hot yeah what was the first moment you had a hot moment where you're like wow i guess this is what it's like yeah someone complimented you like yeah i guess i am really hot this is this is good

Speaker 1 second grade second grade okay yeah that makes sense no but seriously you you know it you walk in a room people look this guy's hot man uh

Speaker 8 It's helped me to a certain point, but it is fading fast.

Speaker 1 No. I mean, we're both getting gray.
Oh, I'm very,

Speaker 1 I get roasted.

Speaker 8 I got some gray pubes now.

Speaker 8 It's all going south.

Speaker 1 But the gray is distinguished.

Speaker 1 That's the thing is like, especially, like, I feel like a lot of Instagram culture, TikTok culture is like, you know, like daddies, you know, you're, you're, you got the daddy energy.

Speaker 1 Oh, hey, thank you. Yeah.

Speaker 8 It's the, uh, it's the, uh, I keep my T levels high.

You get the gray hair. It looks good.

Speaker 2 Has it been a curse to be good looking?

Speaker 8 Um,

Speaker 8 how do I answer this without sounding like an asshole? No, do it.

Speaker 1 No, you're high. We've already said it.

Speaker 2 We've already said we've just dude, you're a smoke show. Listen.

Speaker 1 You're smoke bro.

Speaker 8 Listen, it's helped, it's helped me get to a certain point,

Speaker 8 but I also know that that's not going to last. You know, yeah, I'll use it for what I and part of, you know, I've wanted to stay in this business based on what I can do.

Speaker 8 And so it helped me get in the door for sure.

Speaker 8 But

Speaker 8 I also know that

Speaker 8 it's going to go away real quick, too. And I got to have something else to stand back on.
So

Speaker 8 does that answer your question? Yeah.

Speaker 1 What was the question?

Speaker 2 Like, is it a blessing and a curse?

Speaker 1 What was the worst moment of being hurt?

Speaker 2 Having to answer questions like this

Speaker 1 about being hot.

Speaker 2 No, I would love to, I don't get asked that nearly as much as I used to.

Speaker 1 You are pretty hot, though. That hair is fine.
Thank you. Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's good. It's good.
Listen, I'm trying to hold it.

Speaker 1 I hate it because I was like, oh, wow. Wow.
Now, that's unfair.

Speaker 1 That's unfair. What is because you're growing a mullet, but you're hot.
So, like, the mullet will look good.

Speaker 1 They're cool, aren't they? Yeah, but most mullet wearers are wearing it because it's like they're trying to distract people from what's going on in the face. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Like, you don't see a lot of dudes that are really good looking with mullets, and you're just doing it for you're appropriating mullet color.

Speaker 8 I had the best mullet in high school.

Speaker 8 My basketball photos, I've got this short, sort of spiky hair with a long-ass mullet in the back.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was the look.

Speaker 2 Old school mullet.

Speaker 1 It was like hockey hair.

Speaker 2 Before it was ironic mullet.

Speaker 1 Before

Speaker 2 a thing, it was legit.

Speaker 1 Are you the most famous person from North Dakota? I don't know.

Speaker 1 You must be, right? What else? Who else is in North Dakota?

Speaker 1 I don't know. Who gets slept on more, South or North?

Speaker 8 North Dakota gets slept on. You think so?

Speaker 1 Oh, God, yeah. I feel like I always think of North Dakota, not South.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 The Bison. South, the Bison.

Speaker 1 That's really what it it is.

Speaker 1 It's all I got. Yeah.

Speaker 8 The Bison.

Speaker 3 Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, right?

Speaker 8 That's South Dakota. Yeah.
We got UND hockey, which is really good. Yep.

Speaker 8 Carson Wentz.

Speaker 1 That's no longer a good thing. No, it is.
Carson Wentz is from South Dakota, isn't it? North Dakota. No, I'm trying to help you here, Josh.
Carson Wentz from South Dakota.

Speaker 3 No, he's from North Dakota.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm trying to help you here, Josh. Give me nine conversations.
I still believe in Carson Wentz. No, you don't.

Speaker 2 No, no, no, no, Josh.

Speaker 1 No, we'll give you conversion one. We don't want no.
You don't want it. The Colch made a big mistake.

Speaker 1 No, no, no.

Speaker 8 Well, you know, the Colts did a good job by bringing in Matt.

Speaker 2 I think the Colts did the worst thing imaginable by making me root for him as a Commanders fan. Yeah.

Speaker 9 It was bad. You don't want Carson Wentz.

Speaker 2 You don't want to root for Carson Wentz. No.

Speaker 1 I do. It ruined.

Speaker 2 It ruined at least two months of my life. You have to just

Speaker 1 flush out.

Speaker 8 You're a Commanders fan? Yeah, I'm a Commander's fan.

Speaker 1 Oh, regrettably. You have to flush 2017 out of your mind.
It's never coming back.

Speaker 1 I've made this mistake so many times. All the way through college.

Speaker 8 The He lost some confidence. Yep.

Speaker 3 And you think

Speaker 1 you're like, somewhere in there, that guy's still there.

Speaker 8 Look what he did last year in Indianapolis.

Speaker 8 That team could have gone deep.

Speaker 1 They lost to the Jaguars in week 18.

Speaker 2 It wasn't his fault.

Speaker 8 It wasn't all his fault.

Speaker 2 It was a lot of his fault.

Speaker 8 You don't jump ship on somebody that quickly. And I think that they did.
And I think that if they'd have stuck with him, they would have continued to play well this year.

Speaker 2 But what happened this year, though? Did you watch it? He got hurt right away.

Speaker 8 Yeah, he started a little slow. One and two.

Speaker 1 It took a month. But so did Joe Burrow.

Speaker 8 He was one and and three to start the year.

Speaker 2 Trust me, you don't want it.

Speaker 1 He made it through 35 interceptions this rookie year.

Speaker 2 I'm trying to help you. You don't want it.

Speaker 8 I do. You know.
I'll take him on the Vikings, man.

Speaker 2 Here's something. I would trade for Kirk Cousins.
I would take Kirk Cousins back in a heartbeat.

Speaker 1 Would you, you would, you would keep, you would, you would, you would rather have Kirk Cousins with Carson Wentz. Oh, my God.
Yeah. I would take Carson.

Speaker 2 I would get a Kirk Cousins tattoo of his face on my face. Josh.

Speaker 1 This is bad. To get him done.
It's a good thing you're so high.

Speaker 8 He's a Philly fan right here. What do you think?

Speaker 1 Oh, he's. Oh, you guys are.

Speaker 1 No, Carson Wentz is absolutely trash.

Speaker 1 Really? Come on now. He's bad.
He's bad. You guys are getting out tanked on your own show right now.
Yeah, no, which is a hell of a thing to see.

Speaker 3 He's getting.

Speaker 1 I mean, this is a hell of a take.

Speaker 2 The problem with Carson Wentz is like he will make you think there is that little kernel of true Carson Wentz still inside of him. Right.
And then he's just sad.

Speaker 2 It's just, it's very sad watching him play football.

Speaker 8 Can I tell you what I think happened there? Yeah. He came off, he started off his career on fire,

Speaker 8 got hurt.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 8 Was having an MVT, MVP type season.

Speaker 8 Foles comes in, wins it for him, finishes the job.

Speaker 8 The next year, I think they draft Jalen Hurts, right?

Speaker 1 No, it was the following year. So I think they stuck with Nick, or they had Nick Foles the backup again the next year.

Speaker 8 And I think that he didn't have a great year or something. He was sort of like teetering.
Then they drafted Jalen Hurts.

Speaker 8 And I think Jalen Hurts, because he is such like a alpha, probably intimidated him a little bit and and knew that there was somebody sort of breathing down his neck.

Speaker 8 Didn't play well, which is on Carson.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was going to say, if you're the guy, it shouldn't worry you.

Speaker 8 That's the one thing about him. I wish he had a little bit.

Speaker 8 He's not as much of

Speaker 8 an alpha as I'd like to see him be.

Speaker 8 But he is a

Speaker 1 hell of a quarterback. Oh, man.

Speaker 1 But then this year, dude, this is hurt.

Speaker 3 And this year he gets hurt. So then he

Speaker 1 gets in.

Speaker 8 He gets hurt. No,

Speaker 8 then he gets traded to Indianapolis. They go like, they win like, what, 10 games in a row or something?

Speaker 8 They were playing really good football and then fell apart the last two games of the season. Put it all on him, get rid of him.
Then they bring in Matt.

Speaker 1 Matt Ryan.

Speaker 8 Ryan. Matt Ryan.

Speaker 1 Which was like, that's a lateral move at best.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but the problem with your take is the whole basis of your take is built on the year that he was with the Colts and he wasn't able to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, the worst team in football, to get to the playoffs.

Speaker 8 It happens.

Speaker 8 Listen, it wasn't a great way to end the year. No, it was not.

Speaker 1 No, it wasn't.

Speaker 8 But you can't put all that on him.

Speaker 1 A lot of it, though.

Speaker 8 I put it on the ownership for getting rid of him so quickly. Give him another shot.
You get him all that money.

Speaker 2 But then he goes to D.C., and then he plays poorly.

Speaker 8 He starts one and two, gets hurt.

Speaker 2 He gets hurt. Heineke steps in.
The entire team plays better with Heineke at the quarterback. Then they take Heineke out at the end, put Wentz back in, and he looks just as bad as ever.

Speaker 2 And then at this point, trust me, I'm just trying to protect you. You don't want this.
You You don't want Carson Wentz.

Speaker 2 I was about to say that I wouldn't wish Carson Wentz on my worst enemy, but he is exactly what I would wish on my worst enemy.

Speaker 2 I hope all my worst enemies have to watch a full season of football with Carson Wentz.

Speaker 8 I still believe that he's got some good football on him.

Speaker 1 No, if you could take one thing away from our time together, just try to quit this part of your life.

Speaker 1 It's bad. It's a bad.

Speaker 1 Again, thank God you're so hot because...

Speaker 1 The Carson Wentz love is not good.

Speaker 2 It's good to know that you're flawed just like everybody else.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's a major red flag. Like, if this was a date that we're on.

Speaker 8 If this was like a date, you would never see me again.

Speaker 3 When you said Carson Wentz, I'd be like, I got to go to the bathroom.

Speaker 1 I would have gone out the back.

Speaker 1 Like, we're done here. Ladies, ladies, he's a 10, but he still believes in Carson Wentz.

Speaker 1 That makes him a zero.

Speaker 8 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Well, Josh, this has been awesome, man. Go check out the new movie, Shotgun Wedding, Prime Video, with J-Lo.

Speaker 1 And anytime you want to come back and talk some ball. I would love to.

Speaker 8 This is a lot of fun, you guys.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. And Rascilla is going to get mad that you came on this show because we always cuck his guests.
Yeah. Have you hung out with him? I have.

Speaker 2 What's he like?

Speaker 8 He's a great dude. Yeah.

Speaker 8 So I had him, he did a little bit for the opening of Buddy Games 2, where Dak Shepard's character dies, and we have all these.

Speaker 8 If I'd have known you guys, I would have asked you to do it, too.

Speaker 1 Thank you. Appreciate that.

Speaker 8 But so all these various news outlets are reporting on the death of this up-and-coming actor. played by Durfee, Dak Shepard's character, who wasn't available for the second one.

Speaker 8 That's why we had to kill him.

Speaker 8 But anyway, he did a little spot for us on that.

Speaker 1 So, like, is he as big as he looks on pictures?

Speaker 8 So, he looks pretty jacked, doesn't he?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but he's not that big in person.

Speaker 8 I saw him early days on ESPN.

Speaker 8 We've just stayed in touch since then.

Speaker 6 He had a great head of hair.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he did. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I was just always wondering, is he like, he talks about lifting weights? Like, he can't be that jacked in person.

Speaker 8 I don't, I haven't seen him for a while. I haven't seen him in person for a while.

Speaker 2 What was his contractor status on that movie?

Speaker 2 Because he's got a a thing against taxes i don't know if you if you withheld those or what if it was just all paid to him what he didn't make any money oh yeah oh okay that's fine

Speaker 1 nice oh he probably wrote it on free i just asked a bunch of favors yeah that's you well next time you use it might be coming to you guys yeah i'm in i'm in

Speaker 8 also wiz khalifa is from north dakota he is oh i didn't see that one come all right well he's not from there he was stationed his parents were stationed at the air force base in my hometown minot oh wow he went to memorial junior high okay so there you go how about about that?

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. He plays for the Washington Wizards.
He played for Gonzaga.

Speaker 1 Deep tournament runs. He is in his second year in the NBA.
It is Corey Kispert in studio. And also,

Speaker 1 did you just come from practice? What's going on here? Yeah, I got the socks tucked into the sweats and just came from shoot around.

Speaker 1 Well, actually, walked from MSG, so I got a little, you know, New York in my nostrils. Oh, okay.
You did shoot around and then you just walked right over. Now, how'd you shoot and shoot around?

Speaker 1 Shot great. Love playing in Madison Square Garden, and that place is what we call a shooter's gym.
Okay.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 2 What are the top three shooters' gyms in the NBA?

Speaker 1 Personally, I think it's the garden. I think it's Philly.

Speaker 1 And then as a wizard, I think it's the Great Capital One Arena. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Great spot. Great spot to watch a game.
Fantastic. So you do your, I mean, I'm looking right now.
You have,

Speaker 1 you're shooting 50% against the Knicks this year. So I don't know if that game was at home or on the road, but yeah, okay, all right.
I'm going to, I'm going to back you up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, I'll back you up what you're saying right now.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 3 you do shoot around.

Speaker 1 How does an NBA day go?

Speaker 1 I have a lot of other questions about Gonzaga and everything else, but I am always curious, like, because I think we're idiots where we think, like, oh, yeah, you get to just go show up and play basketball and, like, hang out, and then you go to like a sick steak dinner, and then you wake up and you just play basketball again.

Speaker 1 It's awesome. So, like, I mean, the NBA, first of all, like, normal days, the normal weeks have seven days, you know, but the NBA has four days of the week.

Speaker 1 It's practice day, travel day, game day, and off day. Just four days.
Okay. So, like, which day do you want to know? Do them all.
Do them all. Game days are light shoot around what we just did.

Speaker 1 It's super like basic. How How many shots?

Speaker 1 I bet I get up

Speaker 1 100? 150?

Speaker 2 Kobe would have gotten up four.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was going to say Larry Bird, I think, took 1,000.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you should do more than that. But that's fine.

Speaker 1 It's not working. If you're cool with where you're at in the league, that's cool.

Speaker 2 I have actually a dumb question. We can get back to it because I am interested in the day and the life stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 But why don't you shoot more in games? Well, he's not practicing enough in shooter. That's probably it.
I think it's going to shoot more in shooter round.

Speaker 2 I guess I mean this in a respectful way, I think. Maybe you can take it as a fence, but you have a very high percentage.
You shoot, what, like 42% from three? That's right.

Speaker 2 But you're shooting four times a game. You should shoot more than four times a game.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you and my mom have the same advice. Yeah, that's great.
That's the key. I think you and Jerry Kisper have a great eye for basketball.

Speaker 2 I'm like the annoying hockey fan that's in the stands.

Speaker 1 Shoot it, shoot it, shoot it, shoot.

Speaker 2 Shoot it. You should shoot more.
That's my coaching. If you want to take it, I don't know.

Speaker 1 Maybe

Speaker 1 small higher appearance. I'm going to take any coaching I can get.
So I appreciate it. Shoot more.
Yeah. Thank you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, day in the life. Day in the life.
Shoot around where I don't shoot enough. It's early in the morning.
Clearly, clearly.

Speaker 1 And then head back to the hotel, breakfast, brunch, lunch, nap, and then back to the arena for a game. It's just very regimented.
Yeah, yeah. What time do you show up before the game?

Speaker 1 What time do you have to get to the arena? Probably like three hours before the game. Oh, that sucks.
Does that mess? I show up right before.

Speaker 2 Does that mess with your dinner schedule?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, I'm eating dinner on game days, like, at... 10:30, 11 o'clock.
Yes, you just, why don't you just show up? What I would do is the game's at 7.30.

Speaker 1 I'd eat dinner at like 6, and I'd roll in at like 7.15. I mean, you guys, you guys.
You always have the anthem. It takes a while.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, five minutes ago, you guys were giving me shit about not working hard enough, so I just got to get to the game as early as I can.

Speaker 2 You got to start grinding earlier. Yeah.
You just wake up at like 3.30 in the morning.

Speaker 2 Actually, you should do that.

Speaker 2 You should bank a bunch of videos of you shooting and like Lifetime Fitness, just wetting everything, and just schedule tweets to go at 3.30 a.m. Be like back on my grind again.

Speaker 2 Using old footage.

Speaker 1 Oh, that idea. So we know travel day and off day.
Do you love to practice? I like to practice. I think that's the.

Speaker 1 Mark that. He said, like, not love.
Not love.

Speaker 1 Do you enjoy it? Yeah. I do enjoy practice.
Okay.

Speaker 3 But not in love with practice. Not in love with practice.

Speaker 1 I'm in love with practice. Yeah.
Well, why are you in love with practice? I just love practice. You just love the grounding and getting

Speaker 1 it. Give me any sport, any hobby.
We practice podcasting, but that's just called conversation.

Speaker 9 I love to practice.

Speaker 2 Love it. What about if

Speaker 2 you didn't have to practice? What if you could just show up on game day and you shoot 80% from three, and now you're taking seven threes a game?

Speaker 2 If that was like your normal game, would you practice even if you didn't need to?

Speaker 1 If that was my normal, if I could show up to a game and not practice and shoot 80% on seven shots, I would not practice. Doesn't look practice.
I don't think I could do that, but if I could, I would.

Speaker 1 So is practice, though, in the NBA, is it hard? Like, was it harder at Gonzaga than it is in the NBA? It was 1,000 times harder at Gonzaga than it was at the NBA. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I think anybody who played at a big-time college would tell you that as well. Yeah.
Well, you're counting Gonzaga as a big time college.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, I know we haven't you know, made a final forerunner or anything, but

Speaker 1 I think you're familiar with our game. It's a new blue blood, yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 How much harder would it have been if you played in a real conference?

Speaker 1 Ooh.

Speaker 1 I think it would have, you know, no, the WCC is also a much improved conference. It is.
And it is making its way into the ranks for sure.

Speaker 1 You know, and that's all I have to say about that.

Speaker 1 How much is that argument like?

Speaker 1 Because it happens every year. Yeah.
And I actually want to give Gonzaga credit. You guys have, Mark Few in the program, you guys have started scheduling some really good non-conference games.

Speaker 1 It feels like every December now, Konzaga's playing, like, basically pick like four out of the top 10 teams are playing it.

Speaker 1 But January, February, when you know, like, all right, we can Pacific or Pepper, like, we're going to just roll in and we're going to beat them.

Speaker 1 Is there any credence to like not being as sharp when it comes to tournament time, knowing that you've just been wasting everyone? Yeah, there is.

Speaker 1 and it's one of those things that's kind of just out of our control for more for more like for lack of a better you know term like we have to play who's in front of us and we're in the conference we're in and we're not the athletic director so we can't change conferences and can't negotiate stuff like that and but yeah it wears on you man like you have to like truly like

Speaker 1 almost like be like practice so so hard during like January and February because you know that you're gonna go into those places and more often than not like wax them yeah and it's all it's always funny, too.

Speaker 1 The Gonzaga seasons, I love college basketball. It's like, all right, you just got to hope that like basically the game at BYU or the game at St.
Mary's, they can pick them off to give them

Speaker 1 a little bit of a scare. Yeah, it's usually like those.
It's usually like at home against St. Mary's, on the road at BYU, and then maybe there's like a five-point game at San Francisco.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's kind of that season. Yeah, and that's all you can do.

Speaker 2 Is it hard to play in that St. Mary's gym?

Speaker 1 I actually really like it. Yeah, it is.
Shooter's gym. Yeah, shooter's gym.
That is a shooter's gym. It's just nothing behind it.
It's just a wall. Yeah, it's just a wall.

Speaker 2 I've always heard that it's way easier to shoot if you have that wall because it gives you that depth perception check. That's correct.

Speaker 2 As opposed to having like a big field house where it's just a bunch of empty nothing like the Alamo Dome in San Antonio. It sucks to watch basketball there.

Speaker 2 But I imagine in a stadium like that, it's probably more difficult to play.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it kind of sucks to play too, especially as a shooter. Like you kind of have to...

Speaker 1 You have to get there early and you have to shoot and you have to work hard and then it's kind of a guessing game from there, really. Yeah.
On the depth perception with that huge

Speaker 1 gap in the back. Yeah.

Speaker 2 uh did you ever get invited to adam morrison's bunker

Speaker 1 i've never gotten that invite i've only heard stories we it started here yeah really yeah yeah it was our fake news it was like our third month doing the show we've been doing the show for seven years now we had kyle wilcher on and he mentioned uh adam morrison as a bunker and then it just blew up and then adam reached out to us we become friends with him now because we i like felt bad because he's like i don't have a bunker everyone thinks i'm a psycho he's like i just have a room that locks and has a shitload of guns and a lot of like provisions and stuff yeah that's a bunker that's just a room yeah yeah right right to be clear it's not a bunker it's not a bunker no no but we've become friends but so you never got to go to adam morrison's house i have never been in adam morrison's house damn we should redo this part and say you have seen his bunker wait no i mean this seems does does he have a problem with you why don't you get to

Speaker 1 no i love adam adam adam i think he really like likes me and it's uh

Speaker 1 apparently not yeah apparently not really not doesn't like me that much but um i think it's part of a part of a room that locks and has provisions and guns and yeah and blankets is like you don't just invite everybody that's true and it's underground and only like five people know about it but again to be clear not just a rooker not just a room not a bunker does kyle wilcher have a bunker i don't think wilch has a bunker no yeah i think he uh is a little bit more like of an above-ground guy what about drew timmy does he have a bunker he seems like a bunker guy drew could be very easily turned into a bunker guy i have a bunker guy you have some problem with drew you i have you guys you obviously come on you know you listen uh i love drew timmy's game i do think his shoulders are a little too small that's whatever that's nothing you can do about that that, right?

Speaker 1 It makes his head look pretty big, doesn't it? Yeah, it's just like disproportional.

Speaker 1 This is also flashbacks because I bet on you guys against Baylor in the national championship game, and

Speaker 1 they were better. They were better that day.
When you're up, or when you're down, 10, 15 to Baylor, and Drew Timmy goes and slams it, and he does a little mustache dance.

Speaker 1 Did anyone in the huddle be like, hey, bro, we're fucking down in the national championship? Chill out. I fought that battle all year long.
Okay, all right.

Speaker 1 No, but this is the battle I fought was like, I'm like,

Speaker 1 like my leading style on that team was like buttoned up, straight laced, like it's when it's the game, we're like, we're business. And Drew is like the exact opposite of that.

Speaker 1 Like he's doing the mustache thing.

Speaker 1 He's got the hair flopping around,

Speaker 1 like talking trash and doing whatever. And like I didn't, I kind of fought him on that for a long time, but then I realized like he has to do that in order to play well.
Okay.

Speaker 1 And so maybe he was kind of tricking himself into like... like flipping the switch and getting going a little bit.

Speaker 1 And I'm okay with him doing it during the like I actually think that's a great answer because most teams, you need both styles. You need a guy who's a little bit more like braggadocious.

Speaker 1 You need a guy who's maybe a little lead by example. It was just when they were down like 10.
Yeah, you guys were down 10. I was just like, dude.
I mean, it rubbed a little bit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, and I get it.

Speaker 2 Have you ever seen the TikTok of the sad sorority girl who's dancing and she's crying? She's wiping like that. That's when you did the mustache thing down by 15.
That's all I could think about.

Speaker 2 And that's pretty good.

Speaker 1 He is a phenomenal basketball player. Like, would you play one-on-one with him? I would imagine that if you tried to play one-on-one with him, he'd just go in the post and beat you with a bill.

Speaker 1 He has so many money. Fakes pivots and shots.
Yeah, up and under and all that stuff. Yeah, that's what he does.

Speaker 1 And he likes to think he's a guard, but I mean, that's where the money's made down there. It is fun watching him play.

Speaker 1 And like, he's one of those guys that he feels like we've lost a little bit of it with people going to the NBA after a year. And it's fun when a guy stays around like that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, you think of like, I mean, he's like the Perielis of Gonzaga. These guys are just like, wait, he's still there? Yeah, he's still there.

Speaker 1 And the crazy thing is, I mean, I don't want to speculate for Drew, but he has another year. Oh.
oh, yeah. I like that.

Speaker 1 The availability, he has the eligibility for one more year. So you could see him in a Gonzaga uniform for a fifth year, which would be nuts.

Speaker 2 You guys got some like NIL money up there?

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm sure he does.

Speaker 1 I like

Speaker 1 I was so pissed because my senior season was the year before the NIL stuff started kicking in.

Speaker 1 And so I got to see everyone kind of setting up their stuff and getting ready to make them deals. And Drew's capitalized for sure.

Speaker 6 I would love that.

Speaker 2 I would love if Drew Timmy stayed around another year after this one.

Speaker 1 Just let him stay forever.

Speaker 2 Just do the the mustache for another year.

Speaker 1 Just keep flicking the mustache for one more year.

Speaker 2 That's great.

Speaker 2 There was a clip that went viral of your former teammate, Jalen, saying some nasty stuff about you, about how he didn't like you when you first joined the team. Did you like him right off the bat?

Speaker 1 I mean, I thought we were cool. That kind of took me by surprise a little bit.
The clip did. Yeah, why didn't he like you? Well, I mean, I mentioned it.

Speaker 1 My leadership style on that team was kind of straight-laced and buttoned up. And when it's go time, it's go time.
And then when practice is over, the game's over, we can chill.

Speaker 1 he was another one of those guys that didn't like really operate like that. And he came in, and he was like the basketball star and the football star.
You know, everybody knew who he was.

Speaker 1 And I was kind of spent that time, I guess, like feeling it out a little bit and kind of seeing what he was really about. But Jalen was like the most team-oriented, selfless.

Speaker 1 like really amazing point guard as a freshman for us that year and it helped us a ton so he won me over pretty quick how how sweet was that shot against ucla yeah i mean i don't think they credited me credited me with the assist but i want to to take credit for that.

Speaker 1 Oh, let's do that. Let's make sure you get the credit.

Speaker 1 Perfect pass. The perfect pass.
Right in the pocket. Right in the pocket, one dribbling up.

Speaker 2 Was that like a 10-foot, 15-foot pass? Yeah, probably.

Speaker 1 I was out of bounds, took it out, and probably threw it to the free throw line. And you hit him in a perfect spot right after the basketball.

Speaker 1 We were running low on time, and he had to take, you know, catch it in stride. And, yeah, I mean,

Speaker 1 I don't think he would have made it without that great of a pass, but he might have done something different. I'd agree.

Speaker 1 Listen, don't be worried about losing that because the bubble championships don't count. Yeah, they're the Nimmicky Mouse, right? Yeah, Yeah, right.
Yeah, they don't count.

Speaker 1 It kind of was like a you'd rather actually not win that one, to be honest. No, you wouldn't.

Speaker 2 I'll tell you why you'd be on podcasts like this, and we would just be like, that doesn't count.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we'd be like, you didn't win a real title. Have you interviewed anybody from Baylor? But from now on.
Yeah, it's got true. I think we told him it was a title.
Did you tell him?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think it was, but like, dude, it doesn't count. I mean, it's just, our hands are tied.
That wasn't like there were no fans in the stands. Yeah, yeah.
They had to like

Speaker 1 cut the football stadium in half. It was a weird feel.
Right.

Speaker 2 Was it easier to shoot with no fans in the stands or was it harder?

Speaker 1 Like, are you talking at like the Final Four or just general?

Speaker 2 Just in general, like, not having fans there. It was probably a weird environment, an environment you'd never played in before.
Was it like eerie? Did it make it

Speaker 1 really eerie? But it felt like you were just working out on your own, like a practice.

Speaker 1 So once you kind of got over the crowd noise getting pumped in, it was just like you were in there on a random Tuesday night.

Speaker 3 Yeah,

Speaker 1 it was a very, very weird time watching that entire tournament. And yeah, you don't want to win bubble championships.
So

Speaker 1 let's make a headline.

Speaker 1 I like headlines. So So that way you can get in the news and we can get in the news.
So you've been in the NBA for a year and a half. Just how overrated is LeBron? Oh,

Speaker 1 but what?

Speaker 1 We can't really credit him with that bubble championship. No, I'm talking about that.
Is that what we're going to say on this? Definitely not a win there.

Speaker 1 Okay, just for him, because I have a teammate who won that title as well, and so I'm going to give credit to him. Have you seen his ring?

Speaker 1 Who? The teammate. Yeah, Koos? Yeah, have you seen his ring? I have not seen his ring.
Interesting, right?

Speaker 1 Maybe ask a follow-up question like, hey, dude, you want an NBA title?

Speaker 1 I've never seen your ring.

Speaker 2 Probably because he wears gigantic sweaters over top of it.

Speaker 1 You can't see his fingers in the pink sweater. Are you kidding me? Yeah.
Just ask those questions. Well, so, how overrated is LeBron? Yeah, how overrated?

Speaker 1 Can I not comment on that? Yeah, all right, fine. I'll ask a real question.

Speaker 1 Who is the person outside of LeBron that you have played against that you were like a little bit starstruck the first time? Steph. Yeah.
That makes sense.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, that's the guy that, like, I grew up watching, and

Speaker 1 he changed the game. And the person that every three-point shooter is going to follow for the rest of their rest of time.

Speaker 1 So the first time I played him, and just kind of took a minute to,

Speaker 1 once the ball went up, to really lock in. Did he cook you?

Speaker 3 Huh? Did he cook you?

Speaker 1 Yeah, there was a play in the first game where I came off a screen. It wasn't like even on offense.
He came off the screen and I pumped faked and took a dribble right and he just took the ball for me.

Speaker 1 I kind of just looked around and I was like, damn.

Speaker 1 It's just like,

Speaker 1 time to snap snap in Corey. Come on.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 Would you say that his defense is underrated?

Speaker 1 I would say his defense is underrated.

Speaker 2 One of the more underrated players, I think, defensively in the NBA.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. You see his stature and his

Speaker 1 side, his height, and you kind of think you can go at him, but he does a really good job. He's got great hands and steals.
It's a ton of steals for them.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I got probably a dumb question, but does anybody ever call bank in a game?

Speaker 1 Yes. It happens in the NBA.
Oh, yeah. I tried to the other day, actually.

Speaker 1 I had like a, we call it a grenade, like a end of the shot clock, ball, catch the ball, you guys got to put it up. And it was kind of fading away and threw it up and kind of saw it was trailing.

Speaker 1 I was like, bank. Kind of a quick one.
Missed it, but I called it. I tried.
That should be a rule. Yeah.

Speaker 2 So players have done it like to you. If they shoot.
They'll say like bank.

Speaker 1 It's never happened to me like as I'm guarding somebody, but like I know that guys are just like, they'll bank a shot in. They'll be like, I actually called that.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Who's who's talked the most shit to you so far?

Speaker 1 Or are you someone guys don't talk shit to?

Speaker 1 Well, I kind of generally try to stay out of the way i mean i'm only a year and a half in right and like i don't have the the the pedigree behind me to actually talk shit um but do people come at you

Speaker 1 no oh it's kind of like for me it's been an experience of like

Speaker 1 you don't mess with me i don't mess with you like i'm open to talking shit 100 yeah but i i think to to answer your question like joe ingalls sneaky that rules he's sneaky trash talk like i mean he does little stuff like he'll walk he walk like i wear an arm sleeve during the game and he walked behind me and and, like, just randomly just pulls it all the way down.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like, literally, like a week of his walking by, just like the little kind of like old Wiley Vet, like old head stuff. I like that.

Speaker 2 I also like that you're open to it, though. Like, you, maybe there should be one guy.
There's like a Tinder for just finding another guy to talk shit to you during a game.

Speaker 1 Do you have like a, what other, like, like, what other NBA guests do you guys really like that can talk shit to? Deal? They would probably know that this is going on.

Speaker 1 Like, Griffin, you should be like, I don't think you're the real Blake of the year. Oh, that would actually be very.
I'm more of a Bortles guy. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 If you actually said to him, like, in the middle of a a game, I'm more of a Bortles guy, it would fuck him up for like a brief second because that would be totally unexpected for some for another player to just say that, like, I'm, yeah, I've always been a Bordles guy.

Speaker 1 You've always been a Bortles guy, just that. Uh-huh.
He would definitely have like a second, like, what the hell's going on? Done. We got to figure out when you guys are playing.
That's great.

Speaker 1 Oh, that will be maybe say maybe really March 28th. March 28th.
Circle it on the calendar. Is it in Boston or is it in D.C.? It's in Boston.
Home. All right, okay.
For you guys. Oh, nice.
Nice.

Speaker 1 Home turn. I like that.

Speaker 2 We'll make like like a poster going into it, like the showdown

Speaker 1 in D.C.

Speaker 1 Kiss Blake.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Fake Blake.
Fake Blake. Yeah.
I like that. So, all right.
Here's a random one. So, congrats on getting engaged.

Speaker 3 Thank you.

Speaker 1 You're a twin, and your fiancé's also a twin. Yep, that's correct.
That's wild. Yeah.
Yeah, I don't really know what else. Yeah, I listen to you guys quite a bit.
I know you have some twins.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, you've kissed your sister on the lips as adults.

Speaker 1 um no actually it's different you actually don't apply that's not an identical twin yeah right your your fiancé has kissed her is her sister on the lips as adults because why wouldn't you try to kiss yourself it'd be a weird that'd be kind of a like a like a huge like brain explosion thing yeah sure right i think deep down people want to do that i've seen that picture of a rod yeah

Speaker 1 kind of like checking himself out yeah you love yourself you want to try to kiss yourself you're like oh you're you're looking attractive today but so you're excited.

Speaker 1 So then, now have I by like the like, have I now kissed my fiancé's sister as well? Yeah. Like, is that does that math work out?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't know if it's not like Eskimo, but it's like, yeah, yeah, like you're not. What's that in math? You're like F A equals B, B equals C.
Yeah, transitive property.

Speaker 1 Transitive property of twins. So that means you guys are definitely going to have twins.
So, no, like, well, I thought so too, but fraternal, fraternal twins are like genetic,

Speaker 1 but they skip a generation more often than not.

Speaker 1 So, my mom's mom has twins in her family, okay? And then it got to me, and so my kids probably wouldn't because it skips.

Speaker 1 And then, identical twins are completely random, they're completely like random in nature.

Speaker 2 So, you're gonna have grand twins, grand twins.

Speaker 1 Oh, you'll have a shitload of grand twins. You could have a lot of grand twins.
Oh, that's fun.

Speaker 2 That's actually great for you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if like one family has like three sets of twins, has six kids, three sets of twins, that'd be yeah, wait. So, um,

Speaker 1 have you ever well, your fiancé's a twin?

Speaker 1 Have you ever seen your sister-in-law and been like, she looks hot today? Because I like my fiancé.

Speaker 1 That's something that I've actually really had to

Speaker 1 wrestle with.

Speaker 1 It's a deep thought.

Speaker 2 It's an unspoken thing, but it's real. Like, you find your future sister-in-law insanely attractive.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and they are.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 they are

Speaker 1 genetically identical, you know?

Speaker 1 I can't remember. See, that's different, though.
No, No, you really

Speaker 1 love it. Love is more than that.

Speaker 1 You lust her. You lust her.
Whoa. Hard.

Speaker 1 You love looking at her.

Speaker 3 This is, yeah, you would.

Speaker 1 You would have given me so much. Yeah, I mean, you wouldn't get these questions anywhere else.
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 I'm good.

Speaker 2 A different variety of the twin question. Did you guys bond over being twins? Yes.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. 100%.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. That was kind of a, yeah.
So

Speaker 1 I have a follow-up to the twin question. I don't know if you know this, but

Speaker 1 I said on the yak yesterday, Corey Kispert's coming in and Roan, who did a video in Idaho for some reason, I think it was last year. Met my sister.
Yes. Yep.

Speaker 1 Who is the head of the Idaho Potato Commission? My sister? Yeah. No, I think she was working for a company that was doing their marketing for that.
Okay, so she marketed for potatoes. Yes.

Speaker 1 Okay, maybe not as cool, but still cool. So she's she's just a potato marketer? In that instance, yeah.
Yeah, it was like a contract they were on. Is her job just like, hey, remember french fries?

Speaker 1 Yeah, french fries are good.

Speaker 1 Are you more of a mashed or a baked person? You know, like got mashed? Like, it's like a you know, the ad campaign.

Speaker 1 Okay, so Ron kind of me here because he was like, Yeah, she's the head of the Idaho Potato Commission. I was like, Holy shit, this is the Kispert family has just success everywhere.

Speaker 1 NBA got player, it actually sounds worse. It sounds like she's a liar, yeah, and that she's a Dela Center resume, yeah.
But that's yeah, potatoes. So she was, she was, she was with big potatoes.

Speaker 1 She was, she was, uh, yeah, she was with Big Potato.

Speaker 2 Okay. Do you like potatoes?

Speaker 1 I love potatoes.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 1 Are you part of Big Potato? I am not. However, I'm not a part of Big Potato.
I don't live in Idaho.

Speaker 2 Do you have a nickname?

Speaker 3 Do you have a nickname?

Speaker 1 I actually do not.

Speaker 2 What about the Big Potato? Oh.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Or the French fry? The French fry? Not from France, but I do like French fries.

Speaker 3 I like the big potato.

Speaker 1 Big potato? The curly fry? You got a little curly hair. Mr.
Potato Head? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That works.

Speaker 1 So I saw your nickname was Kiss. That can't be it, right? I mean, that's just a shortened version of my last name.
Right, which I guess if you did the if you did the thing, yeah, right, that works.

Speaker 1 I like that.

Speaker 2 Kiss of Death. Kiss of Death.

Speaker 1 Kiss of Death. That's actually named my fantasy football team.
Yeah. How'd you do?

Speaker 1 We don't care. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 And neither do I, honestly.

Speaker 2 It's been a while since we've gotten somebody naturally on the We Don't Care about you.

Speaker 1 Don't tell us.

Speaker 2 So seriously, you should shoot more, though.

Speaker 1 Okay. Big time.

Speaker 1 So I wanted to ask you,

Speaker 1 as a Northern Virginia, fellow Northern Virginian,

Speaker 1 why aren't you the fan of the Wizards? Why aren't you the national fan of the Wizards?

Speaker 1 Do you want the actual answer?

Speaker 2 Yeah, please. Okay, I'll give you the actual answer.
Where do you live, by the way?

Speaker 1 I live in Arlington. Okay, cool, cool.

Speaker 3 So I tried Colony Pizza.

Speaker 1 I was born in Colony Pizza? Colony Pizza. Cool.

Speaker 2 I was born in Herndon.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 2 Folks live in McLean now, so I've been in Northern Virginia my entire life.

Speaker 2 I grew up going to Wizards games all the time. Okay, of course,

Speaker 2 my, yeah.

Speaker 1 Were you like a Gilbert Arenas, Cron Butler,

Speaker 1 before that?

Speaker 2 Like Michael Jordan, going back in the day, Rip Hamilton, like, goes way back, Chris Weber, Rasheed Wallace. We've had some great players.

Speaker 6 So, you like our classic jerseys?

Speaker 1 You see those?

Speaker 2 Yeah, the classic ones are good. I also like the Bullets jerseys.
I remember going to Bullets games, too.

Speaker 2 My real answer is I have a policy, and that's that I don't use any of my headspace thinking about the Washington Wizards at all until it's after the all-star break, and if you guys are above 500.

Speaker 2 Because I've learned so often,

Speaker 2 I've learned so often rooting for the team that they can get out to some hot starts, and then I'll just, you know, I'll get into the team.

Speaker 2 I'll start watching all these games, and then there will be that swoon. I'm not saying that that's what you guys are doing right now.

Speaker 2 I'm saying what my brain has learned throughout history is I have a finite amount of real estate up here. I'm very dumb, and there's only a few things I can keep track of at the same time.

Speaker 2 Like, I just forgot who Sean McVay was last week. So, like,

Speaker 2 my brain's at a one-in-one-out policy right now. Okay.
And the Wizards, if you guys get above 500 after the All-Star break, then you will not find a bigger Wizard supporter in the world than me.

Speaker 2 So that's, I guess that's just kind of my line in the sand. That's how I've always felt about it.

Speaker 1 Okay, okay. I mean, I think that's a real, that is a real answer.
I'll take it.

Speaker 2 But I do think that you should shoot more. I think if you shot more, more wizards.

Speaker 1 Maybe we'd be

Speaker 1 500 and then, yeah, I mean, that math checks out. Shoot more, win more games.
And PFT is a fan. And then

Speaker 2 I will be the biggest Wizards fan in the entire world.

Speaker 1 Because we don't, I mean, we don't really have like that, you know, trademark, like, big-name fan that's like always courtside hanging out. And I think that'd be a great little slot for you.

Speaker 2 Do you have courtside tickets tonight?

Speaker 1 I do not have courtside tickets tonight. I'm still on my rookie contract.

Speaker 2 Do any of the Wizards people that came with you have courtside tickets? I would go to a courtside game tonight if it wasn't.

Speaker 1 But it's also in the garden. Like, you know, you got to be like the D.C.
family.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you got to go to the, yeah, you got to go in D.C.

Speaker 2 Okay, I promise you at some point this season, I will go to a Wizards game in D.C.

Speaker 2 and I will be prominent. I will be loud and proud for D.C.
I promise that'll happen. Promise accepted.

Speaker 1 That's huge.

Speaker 1 That's huge. What's the best game you've played in the NBA?

Speaker 1 Last season against the Warriors. How many points you scored? 26.
Yeah, see, you should shoot more. Yeah.

Speaker 2 You're really good at shooting.

Speaker 1 Yeah, why wouldn't you have a little confidence? Oh, yeah, okay. In your shot, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Do you not? Are you lacking confidence? Do you need us to push it? I'm very confident. Well, I mean, I wouldn't mind a little positive vibes from the Fellows.
Hey, listen, Corey.

Speaker 1 You're pretty good at basketball. Oh, thanks.
Yeah, so you should play it. That means a lot.
And shoot more.

Speaker 2 What's the most you've ever made in a row?

Speaker 1 Threes in a row? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just like anytime randomly. Yeah.
Yeah, probably in the 40s or 50s.

Speaker 2 That's that's so sad.

Speaker 1 You did that.

Speaker 3 You had a game at Kentaga, did you not, where you hit like...

Speaker 1 That was nine. Nine is my career hiding.
Yeah, yeah. Who was that against? Virginia.
Okay, yeah, the chip on the shoulder. Yeah.
So what did Tony Bennett tell you? So

Speaker 1 he told me one thing and I took it another way. Okay.
Took it per the LeBron. I mean the Jordan took it personally.
Yeah, like when you said

Speaker 1 you aren't attracted to your sister-in-law and we took it like

Speaker 7 a fucker. Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 That's the same thing. Right.

Speaker 1 He basically like took me into his office when we were when I was getting recruited there on a visit and he was like, hey, listen, man, like we got we have kind of this

Speaker 1 this race between you and another guy. We don't really know who to offer.

Speaker 1 You know, like we're kind of leaning back and forth. We're not really fully committed.
We don't know if you're good enough to play in the ACC, like a bunch of different stuff.

Speaker 1 And then I went to Gonzaga and it was completely different. The visit was like, hey, you're our guy three, four years down the road, you're going to be one of the best to ever play here.

Speaker 1 And it like immediately sold, it sold me. So I took that conversation with Tony Bennett as, I don't think you're good enough.

Speaker 1 And then obviously my senior year rolls around and we play in them and the chip on the shoulder game. I loved it.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 I think that's legit, though. He did not, he could have been more strongly recruited.

Speaker 1 And like, have you guys ever had any interaction with Tony Bennett at all? Never.

Speaker 1 He might be one of the nicest people on the face of the planet, like one of those really almost obnoxiously nice people. Yeah.
And so it was hard to take it that way.

Speaker 1 It was hard to like morph that in my mind, but sure enough, it worked. Nine threes.
Nine threes later.

Speaker 2 It's good that you didn't go there because his advice coaching you would have been like, hey, just don't shoot the ball.

Speaker 1 Yeah, just crit shooting more. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get back on defense. Pass the ball.
Yeah, maybe you guys should be on the coaches of coaching staff at Virginia.

Speaker 2 Maybe they'd score a couple points occasionally. Yeah, it'd be nice.
It'd be nice.

Speaker 6 Where else did you get recruited by?

Speaker 1 The last three were Gonzaga, Virginia, and then Notre Dame. Did you take a recruiting trip with Duke? No.
Okay, good. Good.
Yeah, I know you and you and Coach came a pass, don't you?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was actually just wondering how bad his breath smells because it probably smells.

Speaker 1 We beat Duke. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 So after the game, did he try to scold you or reprimand you? No, it was you?

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 it was a quick walk off of the court. It was like

Speaker 1 the quick, firm handshake, and he's out. Okay, because usually he'll try to ask the other guys.
The students that are in the middle of the day, can I come in here? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Can I come and tell your guys that they've got to be classier? Stuff like that.

Speaker 2 He also likes to pick one guy out that just kicked the shit out of him and then stop him in the handshake line. And he'll do the thing where he stops and he puts his hand on his head.

Speaker 1 He'll pat him on the chest like, I'm really proud of you.

Speaker 2 And he'll be like, I'm really proud of you for doing that. You're a credit to basketball, but you're too good of a player to do X, Y, just don't do that to us.

Speaker 1 And he leans in, he's like, I'm going to have you killed.

Speaker 1 And then that's how it always ends. Yep.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Speaking of DC sports, curious to know, do you hang out with other DC athletes?

Speaker 1 Not really.

Speaker 2 Do they win? They show up to games.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you kind of give them that game. Yeah, a little game, respect game, a little head nod, stuff like that.
Yeah. Yeah.
You ever make it in this league?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 You go to other DC sports?

Speaker 1 I love the Caps. Yeah.
Love the Caps.

Speaker 2 Best game in town. Besides the the Wizards, I mean.

Speaker 1 But yeah, of course. But yeah.

Speaker 2 Best game in town. Going to Caps games is so fun because the crowd fills up with all the red.
The red. They get into it.
Just watching OV has been fun this year. Yeah, it's been great.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 they've done a great job supporting us and we support them. And

Speaker 1 going to their games, it's crazy on a Wednesday night in the middle of January, it's going to be all red and it's going to be sold out and the energy in there is going to be great.

Speaker 1 And even if they're, you know, start of the season was a little bit of a struggle for them. Yeah.
Like it's still, the support doesn't waver.

Speaker 2 That's awesome. That's what Wizards games could be like.
That's what it could be. If you just shot more.

Speaker 1 If you just came to games.

Speaker 1 You know, the meme? Like,

Speaker 1 what the world looks like if this happens, and it's all the futuristic stuff? It's what the world would look like if Corey Kispert shot more. All the world's problems would be solved.

Speaker 2 Acon City.

Speaker 1 Acon City.

Speaker 2 It would be incredible. Wow.

Speaker 1 The economy would be back. We'd have, you know, everyone would be happy.

Speaker 1 The sun would be shining. All we just need is Corey Kispert to shoot more.

Speaker 2 Advice taken. Yeah.
I actually have a serious basketball question for you. Let's go.

Speaker 2 It seems to me that there's a big difference between playing basketball as, I don't know, like an 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13-year-old, and then you hit your growth spurt.

Speaker 2 I never did, so I don't know the answer to this question. Yeah, tough.

Speaker 2 And then you get big all of a sudden, your shooting stroke has to change entirely because you're no longer just bending your knees down to the ground and

Speaker 2 heaving up a two-handed shot. You have to learn how to get the ball above your head for the first time, which is a completely different shot from anything else that you've been taking.

Speaker 2 Was that a struggle for you, or did you get better at shooting? Was it easier for you once you got taller and now you're shooting above your head?

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, the key is to like try to do the right thing when you're really young. When you're really young.
So my dad played college basketball and he shot the ball just like I do.

Speaker 1 So I learned from him and he kind of ingrained the right form. And so when I did get bigger, it was like a super easy transition.

Speaker 1 Things almost got, and I could step back further and shoot it with accuracy from deeper. Yeah.
So you were just trying to build the groundwork.

Speaker 2 When you were younger, you were shooting like you were a tall person already.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, yeah, like a kid version of it, sure.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you can tell when you're watching like little kids play basketball which ones are like being taught to you know get their elbow in and like not actually just throw it up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, and that was you,

Speaker 1 yeah, that was me. How fun was it to dominate when you were like 12 years old? It was pretty sweet, yeah.
Watching, like, it's it's it's one of my, it's a really kind of funny and cool thing to do.

Speaker 1 Is like when I go home with the parents, like watch some like, you know, uh, like, like young videos of me playing basketball, I'm like, yeah, man, like, I was a beast. It was awesome.
Look at me.

Speaker 1 I go on those eight-foot rims. Like, that was sweet.
Yeah. What I would give to go back and just, like, you know, relive that day.

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, there's probably kids out there who are talking about it the reverse way. Where, like, I got crossed, I like got my ass kicked by Corey Kispert.
He's in the NBA now.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? Like, like, when I was 12, like, I feel like it works both ways. People are telling tales that way, too.
Could be. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, so this has been awesome.

Speaker 9 I have one last question.

Speaker 1 Will you shoot more? Yes, just for you guys. Great question.
Great question.

Speaker 2 We're trying to pump you up for a penny.

Speaker 1 I feel like I'm just like ready to have a great game tonight.

Speaker 1 Listen, we're now Corey Kispert guys because when we heard that you listened to the show, we're like, all right, well, we're going to defend him, and now it's going to be, we're going to get all compile all your stats.

Speaker 1 We're going to become like, we'll respond to tweets being like, LaFraud, Corey Kispert, actually better with all your stats, but we're going to need to get the numbers

Speaker 1 to do your job. Yeah,

Speaker 1 the PER and like all these things. The advanced

Speaker 1 true shooting percentage.

Speaker 3 Kispert's actually the best player has ever played in the NBA.

Speaker 2 You know how they do like expected goals in soccer?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Just expected points for Kispert.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if Corey Kispert took 12 threes a game, he would actually average like 40 points. And the Wizards would be above 500.

Speaker 1 And PFT would come to games.

Speaker 2 We'd be constantly talking about the Wizards on this podcast.

Speaker 1 You have no idea.

Speaker 2 It would be the biggest topic.

Speaker 9 Oh, I have one last question.

Speaker 1 Is Gonzaga ever going to win a national title? Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 But when? Soon? But soon?

Speaker 1 That's the different question. Are you sure? I think that

Speaker 1 we had a really, obviously a really, really, really good shot when I was there, and my senior year was about as close as we're going to get for a while, I think. But

Speaker 1 I think we're going to win one. It is crazy you guys are getting like top recruits stealing those from the Blue Bloods.
So that's.

Speaker 1 I mean, we are a Blue Blood, so who's showing it from Hill? That's true. You guys are the Blue Blood of the Pacific Northwest.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes, yes. We got that corner of the map.
Yes.

Speaker 1 All right, well, Corey, best of luck rest of the season and appreciate you. And we're going to look forward to you going up against Blake and getting in his head.
Yeah, more of a Borals guy.

Speaker 1 Thank you, guys. Thanks for being my coach today.
And I'm looking forward to the advanced analytics to come.

Open.

Speaker 6 Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 I actually have.

Speaker 1 Hold on. Let's.
So a writer last night hit me up. I almost had to skull fuck this guy.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 1 He explained the situation. Then he handed me the contact information.
So should we give this guy a call?

Speaker 2 We should.

Speaker 2 I've been tweeting at the United States Bowling Congress all morning.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 2 You know what? I told him. I said, I will ask nicely once.
They did not respond to me.

Speaker 1 I'm done being nice. All right.
Hold on. Let me find this guy.

Speaker 2 Gloves are off.

Speaker 1 It was very funny because I was like, I asked this bowling writer, I was like, who the fuck should I

Speaker 1 skull fuck? And then he was just like, here's the guy. Nice.
Like, okay, cool.

Speaker 2 Is there any cooler job in the world than being a bowling writer?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 What a sick job that is, huh?

Speaker 1 I'm going to call this guy right now. Let's see.

Speaker 3 Let's see. All right.

Speaker 1 Call.

Speaker 1 Let's see if we can get him on the phone. Give him a little piece of our mind.

Speaker 3 A little Lenny Dykstra?

Speaker 1 Yeah, little Lenny Dykstra, right.

Speaker 1 Hopefully he picks up.

Speaker 8 He's probably been expecting my call.

Speaker 8 Let's go fuck him.

Speaker 1 Let's just, if he doesn't pick up, just Jake put a reminder. We'll just call him on every show until he picks up.

Speaker 2 We need answers.

Speaker 2 He's ducking us.

Speaker 1 Oh, this motherfucker. Okay.
I'm not going to say his name because I don't want everyone else to call him, but I will. We will be calling him, and we will get justice for Pete Weber.

Speaker 2 I think we need to put the pressure on them online, too. Tweet at the United States Bowling Congress.

Speaker 1 Let Pete bowl. Let Pete bowl.

Speaker 2 Pete needs to be bowling.

Speaker 2 It's bad for bowling if Pete Weber is not in. What is it again? The U.S.
Open. Open.
In the U.S. Open.

Speaker 2 The most prestigious tournament of the bowling calendar year. Let Pete Bowl.
That's a fact.

Speaker 1 Okay. Firefest of the week.
Hank.

Speaker 6 I just packing packing for Arizona I had to get a new suitcase last night and it's it's just big and packed the the the suitcase is big yeah you've already packed I'm leaving I'm going to Boston for the weekend and not to Arizona

Speaker 1 staying Arizona you're not here tomorrow no oh

Speaker 2 I was gonna be in the office tomorrow I was thinking that we could do like an extra like small part of my take that would come out on Saturday.

Speaker 1 Also, just maybe like a meeting to get us prepped for the Super Bowl.

Speaker 6 You won't be here. We had one of those.
You missed it earlier.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 7 Interesting.

Speaker 1 All right. So you won't be here tomorrow.
You got it.

Speaker 2 So Hank's Fire Fest is that he goes on so many vacations that he had to buy a bigger bag.

Speaker 1 Bigger bags. To pack.
He goes away for so long.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry, Hank. Sometimes I have fire.

Speaker 6 Like last week, I opened my heart and soul for the people.

Speaker 1 What was it again? I forget it.

Speaker 6 I didn't have a charger.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. No, you're a psycho.

Speaker 2 That was tough. Did you get a charger?

Speaker 1 No. I see what.
Sorry.

Speaker 2 I got to put some money in the chargers. Fuck, I said it again.

Speaker 6 And I opened my heart and soul, and it's like, you know, know, sometimes you don't have great fire fests.

Speaker 1 Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Good fire fest. I had to use my raise to buy a huge suitcase.
Yeah. So I could go on extended vacations.
All right. I'm sorry.
It's not a good fire fest.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 6 I'm just, you know, I was going through

Speaker 6 what trials and tribulations I went through this past week, and it was like, damn, I need to pack a lot of golf shit and a lot of work shit, and it's going to be negative 20 in Boston. Yeah.

Speaker 6 And I'm going to be gone for two and a half weeks. The suitcase isn't big enough.

Speaker 1 My fire fest is I have to get a trailer for my boat that I bought. Oh, man.
It sucks. That's terrible.
So shitty. Yeah.
I didn't actually buy it.

Speaker 1 What

Speaker 1 boats you got?

Speaker 2 Yeah, Billy, it's like saying, my Firefest, I need to open up a new bank account because all my money is not covered by the FDIC anymore.

Speaker 1 Boats are cool. Boats are cool.
Confirmed. Boats are cool.
Yeah, you know what's really cool?

Speaker 2 Having a friend with a boat. Yeah.
That's real cool.

Speaker 1 We've actually, there's been some talk about Hank PFT and I going in on a boat from Lake Michigan.

Speaker 2 Doing like a boat timeshare timeshare program. Yeah,

Speaker 1 we might be in.

Speaker 2 A Maritime Share. We should call it that.

Speaker 1 We're going to have to buy Hank a beeper.

Speaker 1 Hit the hip. Golf courses, lakes.
We're going to have to be able to, I mean, what if there's an emergency? He's like a surgeon. It's like Tom Brady unretires while you're on the golf course.

Speaker 1 It would be like we are a surgeon going on Hank on to have nothing.

Speaker 6 Beepers. I don't think you guys realize how

Speaker 6 my life is just this show and then

Speaker 6 barren wastelands.

Speaker 1 Oh, so you don't do anything else on the third floor?

Speaker 6 No, I do the show, but like I'm saying like outside of work.

Speaker 2 Wait, but Hank, I thought you did a lot of other stuff at Barstool besides just part of my take now.

Speaker 6 I'm saying outside of work. Obviously,

Speaker 6 there's a lot of work stuff, but outside of it, like Big Cat's always talking about his kids. No one gives him a shit for that.

Speaker 6 I talk about golf one time, and it's like I'm the worst person in the world.

Speaker 2 I like how golf has become Hank's child.

Speaker 1 It also is really just probably harder.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it probably is.

Speaker 1 In reality, it's just that you don't have anything to troll with us on right now. So you you use a lot of energy for the cowboys.
Now, you need a break.

Speaker 7 I'm not a troll, right?

Speaker 2 You're not a troll. Definitely.

Speaker 1 Why would you even say that if you're not a troll?

Speaker 2 Because you just said you're out of stuff to troll on.

Speaker 1 You brought up a troll. So you said I'm not a troll.

Speaker 2 After you said you're out of stuff to troll.

Speaker 1 Oh, I don't check the tape.

Speaker 1 I didn't say I had to troll.

Speaker 6 I need to go to therapy because of how bad you are.

Speaker 1 Better help.com.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 2 Hank, do you want to do a ride tomorrow?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 You don't? I don't.

Speaker 2 I thought you didn't have anything else. I thought your life was a barren way.

Speaker 1 I'm going to be in Boston.

Speaker 2 Is there any room for a bike?

Speaker 1 Do What I'm calling wasteland?

Speaker 2 Bulletin board material for pickleball.

Speaker 1 Oh, there we go. Yeah, we are going to have a pickleball.

Speaker 6 No, they already accepted losing and they're going to put no effort into it.

Speaker 1 Well, no, we don't.

Speaker 2 We either accepted winning or not caring about it if we lose. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's a pretty fail-safe way to go about life.

Speaker 2 It's the absolute best.

Speaker 1 If we lose, we're just going to be like, well, we never care.

Speaker 2 It's a stupid sport for Borks.

Speaker 2 But if we win,

Speaker 1 next week. Still got it.

Speaker 2 Young Bucks don't know yet.

Speaker 4 I mean, he just said he's going to a Call of Duty event. What does that even mean?

Speaker 1 You are?

Speaker 1 A military event? I was way too.

Speaker 1 Wait, what?

Speaker 6 They do Call of Duty live events called a Land.

Speaker 1 And you're going to one?

Speaker 2 It's in Boston. As a spectator?

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 6 I mean, I know some people, and it's like the Boston Breach is the

Speaker 2 organization.

Speaker 1 You are going to an event as a speech.

Speaker 6 I was invited.

Speaker 2 You're going to have like a hot dog in a soda and sit in an arena and watch a table of people on a computer play video games.

Speaker 6 I talk about the things that I like to talk talk about and I get roasted for it.

Speaker 1 I like Call of Duty.

Speaker 6 Fucking sue me.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to do it. It's a hobby.
There's nothing fun with that. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 Say that to them, Jake. Say that to them.
It's a fun hobby.

Speaker 6 Go play your fucking string machine.

Speaker 2 Is he talking about guitar? Or a guitar? Yeah.

Speaker 1 String machine.

Speaker 1 What's your fire fest?

Speaker 2 Esports are very popular. My firefest is, I guess I play a string machine, and that's a really dorky thing to do.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 2 I don't really have any great Fire Fest this week. My big Fire Fest is really for America.
Can I put America in my Fire Fest?

Speaker 3 No, I mean.

Speaker 2 Because you guys are letting a Groundhog ruin your day today. Punks of Tony Phil saw his shadow, so he goes back in his little cave, and now we get six more weeks of winter, right?

Speaker 2 Be a fucking man.

Speaker 2 I'm going to put on shorts right in that little rat fuck's face. I'm going to wear shorts all next week.
You know what? This is how much of a man I am.

Speaker 2 I'm going to put on shorts and t-shirts all next week. I know it's 30 degrees right now.

Speaker 2 I haven't looked at the temperature to see see what it's going to be in New York City next week, but I'm going to wear shorts and short-sleeve t-shirts just to show that little wannabe Greta Thurnberg telling me, oh, the sky is falling, that I'm a man and I can make my own decisions and wear shorts any day of the year.

Speaker 8 Listen, all next week and the week after.

Speaker 1 Phil

Speaker 1 hasn't ruined my day. I just hope he gets hit by a fucking bus.
He's a fraud bitch. Your tweet this morning made me laugh.

Speaker 3 I mean, he's a bitch.

Speaker 1 I hope he fucking dies.

Speaker 1 Have you seen his father? I wanted to see Phil.

Speaker 1 I'm preying on Punk Satani Phil's downfall.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he is a bitch. And if you let a groundhog dictate your day,

Speaker 2 I don't know if I can help you.

Speaker 10 He invested in heating oil stocks before he made his decision.

Speaker 6 Punksatani Phil did it.

Speaker 10 Just like check out where he's putting his money before he makes a decision.

Speaker 1 Damn.

Speaker 1 Pumping dumps, bro.

Speaker 2 Punks of Tony Paul.

Speaker 1 I'd put a bullet in that fucking rat's face.

Speaker 10 Big winter, bro.

Speaker 2 I would just sit on it. You could kill a groundhog just by sitting on it.

Speaker 1 Kick it.

Speaker 2 Kick it in the face.

Speaker 10 Bill de Blasio killed the only good groundhog.

Speaker 1 That's true.

Speaker 2 Wait, so shouldn't we all be applauding Bill for his efforts? Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, because Terminal.

Speaker 10 He killed the good one, and now we got this one who's corrupt.

Speaker 1 Also, Frank told me he tried to get rid of soda and salt in New York City.

Speaker 2 No, those are facts. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So we can't have that.

Speaker 1 All right, I don't have a fire fest either. I actually have a very awkward moment after Hank has shamed me for having a sales.

Speaker 6 At least I don't deflect. Yeah, at least I don't deflect.
At least I try and dig deep.

Speaker 1 I put effort in. Okay, so my fire fest is you can't call me a father or two anymore because my son keeps waking up, so we're putting him up for adoption.
Just kidding.

Speaker 1 I'm having another child, so thanks, Hank, for making me feel like a shithead for being a dad. But yeah, I'm having another child.

Speaker 6 So congrats, I won't shake it. Thank you for it.

Speaker 1 Father of three loading. Congrats.

Speaker 1 Thank you. Everyone here knew it.
So Hank was just really nice.

Speaker 2 I don't know if I'm supposed to say congrats

Speaker 1 as I've

Speaker 2 congratulated you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, three is also weird because no one cares about three. No, but let me put it like for the podcast.

Speaker 2 Congrats for the podcast. I've already said we do our congratulations in private because we're good friends.
Yes.

Speaker 1 So another another son. So I'm going, boy, boy, girl, boy.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 that's it. Three is three is the stop point.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 I thought it was going to be Big Cremardi over here.

Speaker 1 I thought it was a good time. Pull out, right?

Speaker 2 I just go for the butt.

Speaker 1 I just go.

Speaker 2 I just go in back door.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, I'm very excited, even though Hank has tried to shame me all podcast. But I'm very excited.

Speaker 1 Number three, so father of three, I can finally be the true LeBron tweet that I have been mocking all these years.

Speaker 1 I'm I'm going to find this LeBron LeBron treatment.

Speaker 6 I appreciate and support you pursuing your passions. I think we all should do that.

Speaker 1 My passion is having children. Yeah.

Speaker 6 I mean, you're the horniest guy on the show.

Speaker 2 That's confirmed.

Speaker 7 Proven.

Speaker 2 Confirmed.

Speaker 1 Or I'm the only one who actually isn't shooting blanks.

Speaker 2 This definitely goes.

Speaker 9 Also could be proven.

Speaker 2 This definitely goes on the bonk list, by the way.

Speaker 6 Having a third child.

Speaker 2 Yeah, having a third child.

Speaker 6 I also put on.

Speaker 1 I might name this kid Hank and shun him for my entire life, the third. Big cat just.
Just like Henry and just never talk to him. That would actually be an awesome move by me.

Speaker 2 Our name, LeBron, yeah,

Speaker 1 LeBron catches the ball.

Speaker 1 Well, that's not horrible.

Speaker 1 I don't skull fuck for pleasure. I skull fuck for purpose.
For results. Yeah.
I do end up coming eventually from the skull fuck.

Speaker 1 But yeah, I'm having a third child, so Hank completely ruined this announcement.

Speaker 1 It's not really a big announcement. I feel like having the first child is a big announcement.
Third child, he's going to be a fucking chill-ass dude. And I'll make sure that.

Speaker 6 I am the third child. I also have the same exact Yeah, we know we can tell the energy that you family set up boy girl boy.

Speaker 1 Okay, wow

Speaker 6 Look how I turned out fantastic

Speaker 1 Man

Speaker 2 Can I put a future third son is can I put a future on your son

Speaker 2 if he's gonna follow in like Hank's footsteps here

Speaker 2 I'd like to put a future on him to to win a major championship like like they did with Rory. I just have a feeling this kid's gonna be a strong golfer.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm gonna podcast my balls off. It also means that we'll have another life advice episode at some point with Titus and Rosillo.
So, yeah, early June. We'll do that.
We'll go back to the well.

Speaker 2 What if he has the same birthday as your first son, wasn't it, June?

Speaker 1 Yes. Wow.
That'd be wild. Yeah, that would probably be...

Speaker 1 Actually, that would probably be good. Just double up.
They would hate that.

Speaker 2 They would hate that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 10 Are you purposely conceiving for the offseason?

Speaker 1 I mean, there's, yeah, I mean, it's nice not having children during football season.

Speaker 3 Yes, I am a football guy.

Speaker 1 That is my favorite. That's a football guy of the year.
I should win football guy of the year.

Speaker 2 That's a fact. I think more football players, more coaches should prevent their players from having sex between January and, let's call it mid-April.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm not, yeah, it's a fact. I'm not trying to fuck up the football season.

Speaker 10 That's fucking sick, bro.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's the type of sacrifice I make for this show. Others won't, you know, step away from the golf course for 36 holes.

Speaker 7 No, if you guys need me, I'm there. Let me know.

Speaker 1 So, yeah. All right, that's the announcement.
Again, it's not really third kid. It's like, people are like, oh, you're having another kid.
But I'm done at three. Four gets weird, I feel like.

Speaker 1 No offense to anyone who's part of four. Fake? Really? One of four as well.
Well,

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm not going to say what I was about to say.

Speaker 2 Were you one of those families?

Speaker 1 You don't want.

Speaker 2 I mean, you're going to say it.

Speaker 1 Well, if your mom's that hot, like,

Speaker 1 you're going to have to have four.

Speaker 2 I didn't even notice. I thought she was just a lovely lady.

Speaker 1 You pulled that out of me, Jake.

Speaker 3 Hank, that's got to be on the list.

Speaker 2 Your next step would have been, I'm not going to say it, but if I was going to say it, this is what I would say.

Speaker 1 Your mom's hot, is what I would say.

Speaker 1 Okay, Billy.

Speaker 1 That's a compliment, by the way. She's a very nice woman.

Speaker 2 She is.

Speaker 2 I'm going to stay 100% honest.

Speaker 1 Put it on the bunk list because that'll be funny to read in a year. Jake's mom is hot.

Speaker 6 Confirmed. If you're that hot, you have to have four kids.

Speaker 1 Billy.

Speaker 2 First Fire Fest.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, both of them.

Speaker 10 Yeah, bowling, just sore in the weirdest places. Like places I've never been sore in my life.
Like the top of my side of my hip is weird.

Speaker 1 Okay. Just weird.
Okay. And my hands.
Maybe you should hit the gym. Well, your hands is in a weird place to be sore bowling.

Speaker 10 But just like from holding such a heavy hand.

Speaker 1 Well, you have soft hands.

Speaker 3 Right.

Speaker 2 This is true.

Speaker 1 This is confirmed.

Speaker 10 This is true. Second thing:

Speaker 10 trying to get into war, basically getting close into war mode. Okay.
In a little bit of a fight limbo right now.

Speaker 1 But your war mode is loading.

Speaker 2 It's loading. It's committed.

Speaker 10 We're putting in the hours. And don't know if this is officially happening, but trying to get this fight together.
Something's coming on for March 3rd. And,

Speaker 10 you know, it's really weird because we're heading into the weekend. And war mode could unravel really quickly.

Speaker 10 It's the first weekend's the hardest for getting into war mode where you're just like doing the whole month sober, getting into war mode. so

Speaker 2 time's closing in i did hear from billy mcfarland this morning what do you say he's down to fight you yeah all right now what we have to do is we gotta we gotta figure out the negotiations and i i'm extricating myself from that process i don't want a crap where i eat i'm gonna let you figure that out As long as it gets straightened out, there's a possibility it could happen on March 3rd, and he would be fighting for the honor of the Bahamas.

Speaker 2 He wants you to help man like a pop-up food truck if you lose. I told him you'd be fine with that.

Speaker 1 No, and if Billy wins, he's going to give all his money to the people of the Bahamas.

Speaker 2 Again, I'm extricating myself from the negotiation.

Speaker 3 Other Billy is.

Speaker 1 No, both the Billies. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 It's a battle for the people of the Bahamas.

Speaker 2 The good people of the Bahamas that sacrificed so much and got so very ripped off.

Speaker 1 And I just wanted to say thank you, Billy, for

Speaker 1 donating your future winnings to the people of the Bahamas.

Speaker 3 Other Billy is. That's a huge part.

Speaker 10 Part of his restitution.

Speaker 2 That's a huge

Speaker 10 other restitution.

Speaker 2 We've got a great name and logo for it. Firefist.
How cool is that?

Speaker 3 Billy versus Billy.

Speaker 2 And then Billy versus Billy, you get the orange tile with a blood spatter on it as the logo for it. How sick would that be?

Speaker 10 So we're going to skull fuck him. Look, the guy is coming into the social media realm right now, and I think he could be the next Andrew Tate, and I need to stop him before he reaches those heights.

Speaker 2 Okay,

Speaker 2 it's Billy's version of going back in time to kill baby Hitler. Exactly.

Speaker 10 So if you look at what he's doing, he's developing a lot of youthful minds and trying to turn them into the next generation of the people.

Speaker 6 So you want to expose him to an audience of millions.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right. Give him a break.
And take him out because you say, like, don't be like this. But after he's like,

Speaker 6 even if you win the fight, he will still be able to use all those.

Speaker 1 And he'll have more eyes. Yeah.

Speaker 2 No, but Billy's going to be like, see this chill bro that I actually secretly like.

Speaker 3 Don't be like him.

Speaker 10 No, I'm going to beat his ass. Going to skull fuck him.
So it's going to be sick.

Speaker 1 Do you think that this is going to be a good thing? What is that going to accomplish? We'll go more than 10 seconds.

Speaker 10 Yes.

Speaker 1 It would be funny if Billy McFarlane took a dive. I mean,

Speaker 1 by the time Billy got in the ring, the guy just took a dive.

Speaker 3 You know what would be funny?

Speaker 2 If he hosted this in the Bahamas and then he made people buy a bunch of tickets for it and then he just didn't show up at the last second.

Speaker 2 But that's not going to happen because we're going to make sure that it happens. And it's going to be, if it happens, it will be in West Virginia.

Speaker 2 And it was funny because he got back to me today and I floated the idea to him. I was like, what about our Billy, Billy versus Billy?

Speaker 2 Because Ja Rule apparently has no interest in funding Billy McFarland.

Speaker 2 Billy McFarland was like, oh man, but I like Billy. And I was like, yeah, Billy likes you too.

Speaker 1 I think that there's a buddy Roman.

Speaker 1 I don't like him at all. Talk that shit.

Speaker 1 Talk that shit, Champ.

Speaker 10 This is going to be a public execution.

Speaker 2 Warm, let's go, champ.

Speaker 10 He's going to be a Christian in the Coliseum, and he's going to get fed to the lion.

Speaker 1 Let's go. For the people.
You're a lion. Yeah, I'm a lion.
Each kneecaps.

Speaker 1 Cardinal me versus Pungsatani Phil. Yeah.

Speaker 1 If Pungsatani, I'm calling him out right now. If he wants to get in the ring with me, I will fuck him him up.
Just stomp him.

Speaker 1 Imagine that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that'd be sweet. You guys killed the fucking...

Speaker 1 What are they? What are they? The rats. Rats?

Speaker 2 Yeah, just put it.

Speaker 2 They're actually marsupials and they lay eggs. Green.
I know. I just want to see Billy get really mad about that fake animal.

Speaker 1 All right, so warm up loading. So no one offer Billy a free beer this weekend if you see him.

Speaker 10 Absolutely not. Don't do that.

Speaker 1 Absolutely not.

Speaker 2 Don't. Not even if it's really, really cold and refreshing looking.

Speaker 10 Actually, I think I could easily, like, I'm going after this. The last two years i've been honing in my skills these hands are more dangerous than they were oh man

Speaker 10 wow yeah wow that's really dangerous it's it's been how many how many months of vacation can we put you down for after you win this fight zero i'm actually taking no vacation before the fight so when you guys are on vacation except maybe going to the bahamas to film some like background stuff i i don't think i'm going to do that just so you guys know that's not why i'm doing this yeah uh me wearing the part of my cheesesteak trunks going in it's going to be a fun time it's definitely going to be a rough and rowdy.

Speaker 3 You're going to want to see.

Speaker 1 Okay. Love it.
Guaranteed.

Speaker 1 But it hasn't been signed yet. No.
We'll get that done.

Speaker 2 Wipe that smile off his face.

Speaker 10 Yeah. Dude, I'm going to knock him off the internet.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, seriously. Well,

Speaker 2 that's what I wanted to do to Ravel, but they wouldn't let me fight him.

Speaker 10 Like, literally.

Speaker 1 Well, I thought you were scared to fight Ravel.

Speaker 2 No, you made people think I was scared of Ravel

Speaker 2 because for some reason you didn't want me to fight him.

Speaker 1 And I wasn't the one who decided. Yes, you did.
No, it was.

Speaker 2 You told me that.

Speaker 1 It was above above me.

Speaker 2 Believe me. I don't know about that.
100%. I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 I could find the text. It was not me that decided.

Speaker 2 When I first said that I wanted to fight Ravel, you told me that you didn't think it was a good idea.

Speaker 1 He would win because he wins all of those interactions.

Speaker 2 No, I would beat the fuck out of him. I'd beat him 11-0 and knock him out the internet.

Speaker 1 You think Ravel would beat me? No.

Speaker 1 You're not understanding what I'm saying. When I stopped him 11-0, he won because he just basically showed up and was like, I'm a sad sack.

Speaker 2 No, but it's different backing a poor sad sack down to the post nine times as opposed to like punching his lights out.

Speaker 1 Right, right. He's got a quick hands.

Speaker 2 I would beat the fuck out of here.

Speaker 1 I know he would. He somehow like squirms his way into getting more publicity.

Speaker 2 That's why I wanted to wipe him off the internet. He'd have to delete his Twitter if I beat him.

Speaker 1 That would be the stakes.

Speaker 2 Oh, he wouldn't do that. I would not.
What if we offered him a million dollars if you beat me if he loses?

Speaker 1 Again, I wasn't the one who decided you can't fight him, so you got to talk to the people who decide that. Why didn't you fight him?

Speaker 2 I wanted to. I don't think you.

Speaker 6 Big Cat thought he was going to lose.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 2 Big Cat and Dave.

Speaker 1 Dave didn't want to. No, but

Speaker 2 you and Dave were both like, no, we don't want to do this.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, I don't want to give him a platform. That's a fact.

Speaker 2 But we'll give Billy McFarlane a platform.

Speaker 1 I had nothing to do with that. You decided that.

Speaker 2 I want to beat the fuck out of Darren Revelle. And I would smash him.

Speaker 2 I would smash his nose in. I would make him.

Speaker 1 You've already given Billy McFarlane a platform. What are you talking about?

Speaker 2 I would make him cry. I would beat the shit out of Darren Revelle.
That's all I'm saying. And so.

Speaker 1 Some people said you were ducking.

Speaker 2 Don't do that.

Speaker 2 I said yes to the fight.

Speaker 2 I say again, in case there's any dispute, anytime, any place, you don't even have to pay me. What about March 3rd? Yes, I will fight Darren Revelle March 2020.

Speaker 6 I said anytime anytime.

Speaker 10 You would be the undercard.

Speaker 2 You would.

Speaker 1 Damn it. You did that to yourself.
You did that to yourself.

Speaker 2 You would definitely be the undercard, that's the question.

Speaker 2 Are you serious?

Speaker 10 That is true. That is true.

Speaker 2 I would.

Speaker 10 Can you find him another rough rowdy?

Speaker 2 Anytime, any place. Yes.
Anytime, any place. Okay.
In the street, in the hallway,

Speaker 2 at his office. I'll show up, beat him up at his office if he wants to.

Speaker 2 Anytime, any place.

Speaker 1 I will beat him up.

Speaker 2 That's a fact.

Speaker 1 Maybe.

Speaker 1 You don't have to say me. Jake.

Speaker 9 Jake, you're firefighting.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so just an update on the recovery. I think it's all out of my system now.

Speaker 1 Took a while.

Speaker 2 Physically, shoulder, lower back are meh. I felt worse, though.
Meh.

Speaker 1 Official diagnosis, meh.

Speaker 2 I felt more sore after my first squat McGinnon with the crew.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 So.

Speaker 2 I think the wrist guard helped. My wrist did not hurt at all.

Speaker 1 I mean, your performance at the end was stuff of 30s. 188.
188 and 9.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just blasting through it.

Speaker 2 You think if you go back to the bowling alley right now, you'll be a good bowler?

Speaker 1 Probably. Yeah, a lot of practice.

Speaker 2 Yeah. You got good at the end.

Speaker 2 It could be a 200 one day.

Speaker 1 Yeah, 188 is a fucking diesel score. Thank you.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so hopefully a few more days and I'll be good by the time we head to Arizona.

Speaker 1 No question.

Speaker 2 Also, another basketball game tonight.

Speaker 1 Oh. Friday night.

Speaker 2 Sienna, first place in the Mac at Manhattan on ESPN 3.

Speaker 1 Mac.

Speaker 2 The other MAC. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 So it should be a fun game.

Speaker 3 You got to make sure that doesn't confuse people.

Speaker 1 Yes. Mac.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it is. I will bet the over.

Speaker 2 Trey. ESPN Trey? Yeah, that sounds good.
ESPN Troi. Yeah, so tune in tonight, 7 o'clock.

Speaker 1 Love it. Love it.
And if you don't tune in, you're a scumbag.

Speaker 1 Numbers, Hank, have you ever gotten this? 69.

Speaker 7 17.

Speaker 2 Shout out to AWL Nick. He notified me that the 45 ball, which was the last show, was used on yesterday's yak.
So do we want to confirm that it was put back?

Speaker 1 Oh, okay.

Speaker 3 We weren't here.

Speaker 1 Right, okay. So I don't know if it's in there or not.
All right. So

Speaker 2 there might be 98 balls.

Speaker 1 I'll go 51. Is that the one you did last time? 51?

Speaker 11 I don't know. I think he did 31.

Speaker 1 No, I think he did 51.

Speaker 2 I'm going to go 70. Do you want me to pull the tape? Yeah, just figure out what she guessed.

Speaker 2 Also, shout out to listener Alex Grawl. Alex Grawl, he was listening to our podcast a couple weeks ago while he was operating

Speaker 2 an automatic saw and cut his fingers off by mistake because he was apparently laughing at our podcast. So we sent him a care package.
He just got it.

Speaker 2 So shout out to him. I hope your fingers, I hope the reattachment surgery was successful.
Yes. He's going to find out probably in the next couple days, I would imagine.

Speaker 2 So I would like it if your fingers worked in the future.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Hank, wait, have you ever gotten this? No.
Okay.

Speaker 1 That's too bad.

Speaker 1 What was your number, Hank? 17.

Speaker 3 PFT, what was yours?

Speaker 2 7D.

Speaker 1 7D? I'm 51. 21.
18.

Speaker 6 And it was 31, Jake. Or 51.
It was 51. I did 151 on 31.
1.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so I'm sure if this is 98 or 99 balls, but

Speaker 2 61, 61.

Speaker 1 81.

Speaker 2 81.

Speaker 2 Damn, my reciprocal.

Speaker 1 81.

Speaker 2 Too bad, Hank.

Speaker 2 Love you guys.

Speaker 1 Days are nothing to find you. Shine away.

Speaker 1 Oh, I've been coming for your love of gay.
