Speaker 16 Our sixth ever? Is this our sixth ever?

Speaker 17 This is our seventh.

Speaker 10 Seven? Yeah.

Speaker 18 How is that possible?

Speaker 17 Because the way time works.

Speaker 17 Wait, I'm going to do the math in my head real quick.

Speaker 17 Seven years.

Speaker 14 Seven years.

Speaker 20 Fuck, man. Time is going fast.

Speaker 22 Okay, so that means that...

Speaker 17 Wait, did we cancel the takeies in 2020 due to COVID?

Speaker 22 I don't know.

Speaker 17 I know that we didn't want people to get sick at our side.

Speaker 24 Okay, well, let's talk about this on the other side of the intro because people should.

Speaker 27 I don't know how many people fast forward through the intro.

Speaker 17 Well, let this be a lesson to you if you do. Yeah, you miss gold like this.

Speaker 14 Yeah, important discussions happen.

Speaker 33 Okay, so the takies, the 2022 Takeies.

Speaker 24 We have 26 awards we're giving out.

Speaker 36 A lot of great awards, including podcast listeners of the year.

Speaker 39 Hopefully, the AWLs get it.

Speaker 41 Hopefully, they're listening to all the ads because then that means they will get it.

Speaker 32 And the first ad is our good friend.

Speaker 44 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce.

Speaker 44 Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce, only at McDonald's for a limited time at participating McDonald's.

Speaker 44 No place to hang out or washing

Speaker 44 and then a candle game all on the sun. Oh no, we're gonna rock it down to Electric Avenue

Speaker 44 then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 44 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Elite Trick IV.

Speaker 17 It's part of my take.

Speaker 22 Welcome to Part of My Take presented by Chevy Silverado, the greatest truck ever created. Today is Wednesday, July 27th, and it is the 2022

Speaker 15 Takey Awards.

Speaker 29 Yes,

Speaker 48 the most illustrious awards ever given.

Speaker 21 We are the most important award show.

Speaker 33 Fuck the Emmys, fuck the Oscars, fuck the Espys.

Speaker 51 It's the Takey.

Speaker 17 Respect to the Tony's.

Speaker 19 Fuck them. Respect to the Tonys.

Speaker 52 Yeah, Tony's, respect.

Speaker 29 Respect.

Speaker 40 Any local Emmys, respect.

Speaker 17 Sports Emmys. Everyone gets a sports Emmy.

Speaker 54 Everyone gets nominated for a Sports Emmy except us.

Speaker 56 If you don't want one.

Speaker 17 If you breathe and talk into a microphone at any point in your life, you get nominated for a sports Emmy.

Speaker 29 Except for that story publicly.

Speaker 9 What?

Speaker 57 When they were asking us, like,

Speaker 57 some of the behind-the-scenes people at Barstow, like, we want to go for for sports Emmys, what would you want to get nominated for? And you guys were like, send them the John Cena clips.

Speaker 60 Yeah, we were like, we don't want to get nominated, but if they want to nominate us and only do it on our John Cena interview, we're in.

Speaker 61 They're like, if they get that.

Speaker 57 Like, what was your best interview that we should send for sports Emmys? And you guys were like, send them the John Cena.

Speaker 66 We are actively trying to never be nominated for everything.

Speaker 17 There was also one that people forget, though, Jeff D. Lowe has several Emmys.
He does.

Speaker 59 There was another one.

Speaker 68 I can't remember what award it was.

Speaker 71 They were like, hey, they want to nominate you, and you guys will probably win, but you got to fly out and like.

Speaker 72 Oh, it was like iHeart.

Speaker 56 Yeah, and we're like, nah, no, thank you.

Speaker 17 That was year two of being nominated for best sports podcast on iHeart. And we were like, yeah, no, I'd rather just be at home and not care about what's going on at that particular award show.

Speaker 17 And then they've punished us for the last five years. I'm happy with that.

Speaker 29 Which fine. Yeah.

Speaker 17 I love being a loser.

Speaker 73 Keep that chip on your shoulder.

Speaker 20 Yeah, if we ever win in an official award, like with an award show, that means we've sold That means we've been kidnapped.

Speaker 22 So come save us.

Speaker 17 Yeah, I mean, if you look back through history, they gave Hitler person of the year. Yeah, they did.
Time magazine gave that award to him.

Speaker 17 Awards are overrated.

Speaker 34 They are very overrated. Except the takies.

Speaker 63 Again,

Speaker 29 except for this one.

Speaker 21 The most important award show ever created.

Speaker 76 This is year seven.

Speaker 16 We were just having that discussion.

Speaker 33 Did we skip it in 2020 when there was COVID?

Speaker 77 No, we didn't.

Speaker 29 We didn't.

Speaker 17 We did one in 2020.

Speaker 78 19-year-old of the year was won by COVID-19.

Speaker 79 Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 31 Huge.

Speaker 13 Shout out COVID-19, Coco.

Speaker 31 Yeah, so

Speaker 71 if there was an AWL who had a baby in 2016 and they also listened to the podcast, that means that that kid is now in like second grade.

Speaker 82 Ho. That's scary.

Speaker 83 That's scary.

Speaker 28 That means there's an AWL

Speaker 20 who's going for seven in a row and he's in second grade.

Speaker 57 If you were a freshman AWL in high school,

Speaker 58 you're about to graduate college.

Speaker 29 You're a junior in college, right?

Speaker 84 And if you were in college when you got your first AWL, you probably hate your fucking job.

Speaker 29 That's nice.

Speaker 26 And you're going to get another one, though.

Speaker 11 And

Speaker 20 we'll make a certificate that you can print out and put in your office for the job that you hate.

Speaker 57 Ellie hadn't hit puberty when the first take he said.

Speaker 86 That's true. You didn't have your first pube yet.

Speaker 33 You got your first pube in 2017.

Speaker 87 I was a junior in high school.

Speaker 18 Right. When you got your first pube.

Speaker 89 Right. Exactly.

Speaker 31 So, congrats on getting pubes.

Speaker 4 All right. So let's do it.

Speaker 61 We're going to hop right in.

Speaker 47 We have some guest presenters.

Speaker 5 We have the important Blake of the Year.

Speaker 71 We have the podcast listeners of the year.

Speaker 90 There's a lot of great awards.

Speaker 81 Should we hop right into it? Let's do it. Should we do it?

Speaker 54 Can you put in some dramatic music or something?

Speaker 39 Sure. Yeah.
All right.

Speaker 71 So, so put in some dramatic music here.

Speaker 57 I used to play that song with my friends in a basement and just play Halo.

Speaker 24 What's the song that the lads sing in the bar?

Speaker 23 I wanna stash, I'll be your dream, I'll be your fantasy,

Speaker 93 I'll be your love, I'll be your

Speaker 95 thing that you need.

Speaker 93 I'll love you more with every second, everything that you do.

Speaker 64 I will be strong, I will be faithful.

Speaker 64 I'm counting on a new beginning,

Speaker 9 a reason for living, a deeper meaning is true.

Speaker 98 I want to stand with you on a mountain.

Speaker 98 I want to bathe with you in the sea.

Speaker 98 I want to lay like this forever

Speaker 64 until the sky falls down on me.

Speaker 100 All right, so there it is.

Speaker 24 That's the dramatic music.

Speaker 10 Okay, let's do it.

Speaker 56 Okay, taking number one.

Speaker 101 The award is Worst Collector of the Year.

Speaker 90 A great award.

Speaker 29 This is a new award.

Speaker 32 And the nominees are

Speaker 83 guy at the All-Star game who was,

Speaker 102 this was actually a late entrant.

Speaker 27 The guy at the All-Star game who was trying to elbow a bunch of kids to get a signed ball.

Speaker 17 He came on the scene late, but he made an impact.

Speaker 2 He made a very big impact.

Speaker 104 Logan Paul for buying fake Pokemon cards. He bought $3.5 million worth of fake Pokemon cards.

Speaker 27 He did get refunded, but when he opened the box, it wasn't great.

Speaker 17 Stay woke. That seems like a marketing tool for whatever company he bought them from, being like, look, they were fake.

Speaker 29 And they gave me more money than that.

Speaker 57 No, it was like an NFT. I think it was an NFT.

Speaker 17 Like, don't buy cards.

Speaker 57 Buy these non-fungible tokens.

Speaker 29 Right, exactly.

Speaker 80 You can't fake these.

Speaker 58 They're super valuable.

Speaker 82 We have Darren Revelle for his Martin Luther King collection, which on Martin Luther King Day, he produced.

Speaker 104 He tweeted out, my most cherished piece of Martin Luther King Jr.

Speaker 13 memorabilia are pages from the warden's logbooks from the Birmingham jail in 1963 when he wrote letter from a Birmingham jail.

Speaker 12 King signed in and out of his mail 12 times.

Speaker 107 Now, this is Martin Luther King being imprisoned, and he's signing a document to just receive his mail.

Speaker 15 What an autograph.

Speaker 114 What an autograph. Incredible.

Speaker 17 And I think he said he also had a Rosa Parks rookie card.

Speaker 35 Yep, Rosie Parks rookie card, which was her NAACP card.

Speaker 112 It was her card that she had to have in order to be able to vote without getting killed yes yes and that was the card he had he also uh when he was criticized for this he he he did clap back at everyone saying calling me a racist is cute on this day especially i have one of the largest martin luther king jr collections in the world and some of my closest friends are black he did tweet that it's rare that you get to see that sounds like that you get to see that in real life these days.

Speaker 63 Yes, yes.

Speaker 10 He also,

Speaker 22 it's, yeah, he deleted that one because he realized how stupid stupid it sounded.

Speaker 17 Also, because he probably does not have any close friends that are black.

Speaker 17 Yeah, he's gonna have to produce a black friend and it wasn't like it's like, oh shit, I really, Darren, you've really got yourself in the mud on this one.

Speaker 12 Yeah, the shirt that Malcolm X was wearing when he was assassinated is not counted as a black friend.

Speaker 59 He then went on a Twitter space

Speaker 20 to defend himself.

Speaker 47 It was a Miami Hurricanes Twitter space.

Speaker 2 Let's play that real quick.

Speaker 46 Everybody can get on the same page.

Speaker 18 Sure, I have

Speaker 119 over nine MLK signed items i am a humongous fan of what he's done

Speaker 121 uh and over the last seven years i've collected a lot of things uh it's not only mlk it's a lot of black history i own a rosa parks uh signed n double a cp card so it was pretty shocking today how i was called racist um

Speaker 123 when I am a student and lover of black history and it was, it was, I never expected the reaction that I got today.

Speaker 17 Of course not.

Speaker 100 No.

Speaker 60 This is the best part. Hold on.

Speaker 107 Because he's done.

Speaker 122 I'm sorry if people think that a white man can't enjoy black history.

Speaker 46 I'm sorry.

Speaker 123 I'm sorry.

Speaker 18 I really am.

Speaker 121 I'm sorry if people think that a white man can't

Speaker 122 love Martin Luther King. But to me, that seems pretty counterintuitive.

Speaker 17 And see. Darren is O for his lifetime.

Speaker 18 He is racist.

Speaker 17 Darren is O for his lifetime in expecting the backlash that he receives.

Speaker 29 Yes, yes.

Speaker 17 He not once has ever anticipated people getting mad at him for something.

Speaker 1 So he's nominated for his Martin Luther King collection.

Speaker 22 He also is nominated, double nominee for his check collection.

Speaker 37 So he also has collected famous checks.

Speaker 107 I went through it.

Speaker 16 Some of the famous checks he has is Ted Williams paying for his life insurance, a check from the minor league affiliate of the Yankees to John Elway.

Speaker 61 Does he still have to pay that?

Speaker 57 Because he might still be.

Speaker 22 Yeah, he might still be alive.

Speaker 68 His head might be alive.

Speaker 67 That's true.

Speaker 128 Good point, Hank.

Speaker 129 Jackie Robinson paying rent in his apartment in Brooklyn. Mohamed Atta purchasing a one-way ticket on American Airlines Flight 11, and the Raiders paying John Madden.

Speaker 17 So are you joking about the Mohamed Atta?

Speaker 29 I am, but

Speaker 4 it actually wouldn't be that crazy for Dan Revelle to be like, look at this, guys.

Speaker 74 On September 10th, 2011, Mohamed Atta bought a plane ticket.

Speaker 17 Yeah, this is the first purchase actually ever made by the public investment fund.

Speaker 29 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 19 So he is, he is.

Speaker 105 It's a piece of sports history.

Speaker 15 I'm just saying.

Speaker 86 Dude, if he did that, I don't think anyone could be shocked.

Speaker 17 No, I was like, normally I would understand that that was clearly a joke.

Speaker 86 And I was like, eh, you know.

Speaker 17 Darren's probably listening to this show right now, or at least the part that his friend cut up where we talk about him. And he's probably like, you know what?

Speaker 17 I would actually really like to get my hands on that

Speaker 17 flight out of Logan.

Speaker 59 Yeah, has anyone found the credit card that lee harvey oswald used to buy the gun to kill jfk because i i'm in i'm interested i do like some of his collectibles oh yeah i'm sure absolutely

Speaker 57 some of it's interesting when he bought the viagra bottle from hugh hefner's estate that was kind of cool like some of them are ridiculous but like sometimes he has them for every day yeah like it's like today is like whatever Whatever day it is, he has some type of memorabilia.

Speaker 57 It's kind of impressive.

Speaker 17 I don't think that as a society, we talk enough about the fact that collecting signatures is just fucking weird.

Speaker 17 Especially if you have a picture and you're like, hey, can you write your name on this picture that I have of you?

Speaker 132 Like, what the fuck?

Speaker 17 Who decided that that was something that would be valuable?

Speaker 33 I do think that the selfies have taken the place of it, which is way more meaningful to be like, here is me with this person, not here is me, here is a signature from this person.

Speaker 17 Yeah, hey, will you write your name on this picture that I have of you? Right. It's fucking, it's weird if you think about it from like an abstract point of view.

Speaker 68 Yes, it absolutely is weird.

Speaker 78 Okay, so people forget I have a job here because of him.

Speaker 31 That's true.

Speaker 24 So he has done something positive in this world.

Speaker 26 Thank you, Darren.

Speaker 21 All right, so the winner

Speaker 97 is Darren Revelle.

Speaker 79 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 74 The winner, drum roll,

Speaker 125 is Darren Revelle and his Martin Luther King Jr.

Speaker 42 collection.

Speaker 120 Wow, incredible.

Speaker 61 Over nine pieces of Martin Luther King Jr.

Speaker 52 That is it is it 10? The over-under is set at exactly 10.

Speaker 116 It's got to be 10.

Speaker 71 It has to be 10.

Speaker 56 It might even be 9.

Speaker 61 He might just be lying.

Speaker 10 He just reduced it.

Speaker 20 Yeah, I think he said over 9, and it's exactly at 9.

Speaker 17 If you count each signature when he was getting his commissary while in jail,

Speaker 17 that would count as upwards of 16.

Speaker 31 That's true.

Speaker 20 He's got the documents of the CIA when they plan to assassinate him.

Speaker 11 That's cool. FBI.

Speaker 82 Oh, the FBI, yeah. Same thing.
Probably together.

Speaker 29 Probably all of them together.

Speaker 31 Yeah. All right.

Speaker 66 So that is our first award. PFTE, you are presenting our next award.

Speaker 17 Okay, our second award is the Twitter Reply Guy of the Year.

Speaker 11 Ooh, big, big, big award.

Speaker 53 It was the Twitter.

Speaker 72 Yep.

Speaker 17 Great song that he wrote for us.

Speaker 72 Oh, I would know.

Speaker 68 If I didn't get a tweet from him every morning of a new episode, I would be like, call the cops.

Speaker 138 Where'd he go?

Speaker 139 That used to be memes.

Speaker 57 Memes was the, I mean, memes got basically a job from being essentially a reply guy. Yeah.

Speaker 4 But I do love Just Posta because it's like, wake up, drink some coffee, boom.

Speaker 35 He's like, you know, this part was great.

Speaker 140 He's an all-time AWL, all-time nominee for a reply guy.

Yeah. Like every Barstool show.
It's crazy. Yes.
All right. FSU Brando also nominated.

Speaker 17 Clue Haywood also nominated. Clue Haywood, strong reply guy, maybe the biggest drinker and the only Arizona Cardinals fan in the world.
Yes, that's true.

Speaker 71 And Clue Haywood also has this specific reply guy, very funny Twitter account.

Speaker 104 Everyone should follow him.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 54 if you don't respond to him, like after a few times, he just assumes he's muted.

Speaker 22 It's like, no, dude, I'm never going to mute you.

Speaker 69 Yeah.

Speaker 132 But that's a reply guy thing.

Speaker 17 You'd be like, am I muted? Reply guy mentality.

Speaker 88 Did he tip his cap?

Speaker 63 That's crazy.

Speaker 21 Yeah, very wild.

Speaker 76 The next one, Matt Holiday's son,

Speaker 66 who we saw a picture of Matt Holiday holding his son, which is wild in its own right, after he won the NL championship with the Rockies.

Speaker 51 He was like a two-year-old.

Speaker 140 Matt Holiday's son, Jackson Holiday, went 1-1 in the MLB draft.

Speaker 17 Whoa, like a Major League Ball player's son is also going to play Major League Baseball?

Speaker 68 It's crazy. Let me listen.

Speaker 63 That's not the last wild we got from that.

Speaker 71 We also have the Blue Jays sons.

Speaker 20 So the Blue Jays have Vlad Jr., Beaubuchet, and Kevin Biggio.

Speaker 100 All their swings kind of look like their dad's swings.

Speaker 146 Holy shit. Wild, right?

Speaker 19 Wild.

Speaker 97 That last one was also cool.

Speaker 146 Yeah, it was cool.

Speaker 29 It was wild and cool.

Speaker 75 All right, so the winner of the Wild of the Year.

Speaker 35 It's Derek Jeter's nephew.

Speaker 82 All right.

Speaker 81 Yep.

Speaker 1 He was at both things.

Speaker 56 I still don't know how he got to the Hall of Fame induction and was able to sit front row.

Speaker 41 That's wild in its own right, but it's like, whoa, he's a young kid there, and he's still a young kid, but just a little bit older five years later.

Speaker 17 It's that same kid that was that same.

Speaker 66 I think he's also DJ Premier's son.

Speaker 73 I think DJ Premier married Derek Jeter's sister, I want to say, which is extra wild.

Speaker 67 I'm going to double-check that right now.

Speaker 31 I don't even know who DJ Premier is.

Speaker 148 Yeah.

Speaker 82 Derek Jeter.

Speaker 17 I think that yeah from Billy was just a fact check.

Speaker 64 Yes.

Speaker 29 Derek Jeter.

Speaker 17 I think that's what he meant. Derek?

Speaker 95 Yeah.

Speaker 49 Yes.

Speaker 35 Derek Jeter,

Speaker 88 his nephew is DJ Premier's son.

Speaker 17 Wow.

Speaker 18 Wow.

Speaker 26 That is wild. Double wild.

Speaker 78 And it's crazy that this has happened at the same time as this documentary being released.

Speaker 74 There's too many wilds.

Speaker 66 If everyone, if you need to take a break at this point in the podcast, I would understand.

Speaker 72 Thank you, Cal.

Speaker 37 If you you want to take a pause and just

Speaker 116 let this all sink in.

Speaker 76 Who did you just cap?

Speaker 17 Did you say that to Jeter?

Speaker 26 Yeah, he said thank you, Captain.

Speaker 64 To Jeter.

Speaker 147 To Jeets.

Speaker 81 Yeah, Jets. Yeah, Jets.

Speaker 17 I've never agreed with Rico Bosco about anything in my life, but I love his Derek Jeter takes.

Speaker 79 Yeah.

Speaker 22 He just goes all in on Deterred Jets.

Speaker 111 Overrated.

Speaker 15 Yeah.

Speaker 17 Bad defensive liability at shortstop.

Speaker 70 If he was a Cincinnati Red, no one would know who he is.

Speaker 57 Yeah, he has a massive ego.

Speaker 58 He wouldn't let A-Rod play shortstop.

Speaker 57 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 17 It would have been much better. He ruined the Marlins.
Yeah.

Speaker 82 Yeah. That's

Speaker 52 the proud Marlins.

Speaker 78 I mean, the Marlins hadn't won since 2009.

Speaker 96 No, no, no.

Speaker 17 Jake, that was the joke. Thank you.

Speaker 128 The proud Marlins, Jake.

Speaker 29 Marlins actually beat Jeter in 2007. That's true.
Wild. Wild.
I was on the field.

Speaker 99 You know what?

Speaker 17 That motherfucker took down the statue of the fish.

Speaker 79 Yeah.

Speaker 17 And he no, just play along with the Hank. And that's on Jeter.
And he expelled Marlins, man. He wouldn't let him bring his hookers to games anymore.

Speaker 71 No, ladies,

Speaker 108 those are the mermaids.

Speaker 11 Please.

Speaker 89 Put some respect on their name.

Speaker 78 They were the Marlins mermaids.

Speaker 63 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 40 He didn't take the blank check offer from Marlins, man.

Speaker 67 Okay, next up.

Speaker 17 Suspension of the Year.

Speaker 17 It was a great year in suspensions this year. Great year in suspensions.
We had a lot to work with. Sussies left and right.
We got addicted to suspensions for a brief period of time.

Speaker 17 I feel like I'm still, what's that rule? Like, you have to wait 28 days to break a habit, right? To get something out of your system. So I'm still technically addicted to suspensions,

Speaker 17 but we're working on that. So the suspension of the year nominees are Billy Football for getting sussied for a month.
For

Speaker 17 Billy, do you want to? Congratulations. Do you want to say anything? Any

Speaker 17 like, I'm glad to be nominated speech.

Speaker 92 Anything?

Speaker 87 It really shouldn't be celebrated.

Speaker 29 Oh, okay. All right.

Speaker 100 Well, it is. You're nominated.
You're nominated.

Speaker 17 It was a big suspension.

Speaker 88 Yes. Huge suspension.

Speaker 17 Although we did kind of make Billy into a martyr in a way.

Speaker 68 Well, no, that was Rico.

Speaker 79 Did that.

Speaker 112 He got saved by the Bosco.

Speaker 146 Thanks, Rico.

Speaker 19 Yeah, yes, yes.

Speaker 17 The second nominee is Brooks Kepka. Blake Kepka being suspended from part of my takes Blake of the Year award at the end of this episode, pending appeal.
Yes.

Speaker 17 Now, I'm told there might be an appeal of sorts.

Speaker 41 He has a statement ready to be read when we have the remaining two Blakes on the show to decide Blake of the Year.

Speaker 17 I also think that in much the same way that Billy kind of got... saved and martyred by Rico, Brooks has kind of been saved and martyred by everybody else that's short.
David Faraday. Yeah.

Speaker 19 Charles Barkley in the future.

Speaker 29 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 17 And the third nominee is Calvin Ridley getting sussied from the NFL for a season for putting a $500 parlay on a game.

Speaker 74 Seven-game parlay.

Speaker 17 Honorable mention, Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 17 He might be suspended by the time this comes out.

Speaker 63 We don't know.

Speaker 71 That's true. That is true.

Speaker 6 They're saving this a week before, so if he was suspended, again, our statement on the suspension is, I think it was not enough and pft says it was too much yeah so you just go with whatever you want there yep

Speaker 17 and the winner is for suspension of the year

Speaker 23 calvin ridley oh

Speaker 17 putting a shitty little parlay in wow and didn't even win it didn't even win his parlay he's out for a year we're gonna look we're gonna look back on this i think in 10 years the same way we look back on on how we treated like weed laws back in the 1990s yes especially uh after everyone tweeted those clips of him like like getting tackled and they're like,

Speaker 17 he threw this. Yeah, exactly.
NFL rigged, look at him. He didn't score a touchdown on every single catch that he had.

Speaker 22 Yeah, that Emmanuel Ocho tweet when he's like, look at this.

Speaker 7 And then he looked up the stats and Calvin Ridley had like seven catches for 150 yards and a touchdown.

Speaker 29 I didn't see that one.

Speaker 118 I'm blocked.

Speaker 152 Yeah. Oh, I'm blocked too.

Speaker 68 Okay.

Speaker 28 Next up, worst take of the year.

Speaker 15 Loaded, loaded.

Speaker 29 award here.

Speaker 71 We got some great ones. So we'll start.

Speaker 20 Ben Simmons traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Brooklyn Nets.

Speaker 76 On playing with Kyrie and KD, he said, quote, it's going to be scary.

Speaker 17 So I actually think he was correct about this. He was talking about, he was just expressing his emotions.
He was like, I'm scared to play. I'm scared to play basketball.

Speaker 26 Yeah, right, right.

Speaker 108 Because he's, yeah, he doesn't want to be on the court, but it's going to be scary.

Speaker 17 I'm going to, I'm going to play in the NBA this year. That's terrifying.

Speaker 105 Yeah, yes.

Speaker 17 I would, I would actually say that. They're going to make me shoot.

Speaker 29 That's scary. Yeah, whoa, no.
No, thank you.

Speaker 48 Please.

Speaker 31 Yeah.

Speaker 154 So he, yeah, they never played a game together this year.

Speaker 4 Could have used him in the playoffs.

Speaker 117 Didn't show up.

Speaker 110 The next one, Trista Crick, our former colleague, said during the 2021 NFL draft, are the Bengals having the worst draft of any team?

Speaker 15 That kicker pick was puzzling.

Speaker 82 Now, this is also, mind you, the draft that they took Jamar Chase,

Speaker 3 which turned out pretty good.

Speaker 132 And Evan McPherson

Speaker 17 turned out to be good despite the fact he doesn't have Joe Burrow's phone number. Yeah, and he also watches the halftime shows.

Speaker 82 Yep.

Speaker 31 Yeah, which, come on, how could you do that?

Speaker 77 The next up, Colin Coward.

Speaker 61 You knew he would get in here somewhere.

Speaker 36 He said before the 2021 NFL season, really think Urban Meyer and his staff have nailed this draft.

Speaker 22 So let's have some fun.

Speaker 2 I like the Jags over six and a half wins.

Speaker 107 So

Speaker 74 it actually turned out they only won three games.

Speaker 20 And on top of that, Urban Meyer was fired after week 13 or week 14.

Speaker 140 They were 2-11.

Speaker 145 His last two games in the NFL, they lost to the Rams 37-7 and the Titans 20-0.

Speaker 154 And we have the special. Urban Meyer really figured it out.

Speaker 20 After the Rams game, it was leaked that Urban Meyer said when watching Rams tape, who is this 99 guy on the Rams?

Speaker 61 I'm hearing he might be a problem for us.

Speaker 37 That, of course, is Aaron Donald, the best player, defensive player in the NFL.

Speaker 116 So Urban Meyer did not get the over six and a half.

Speaker 35 He got fired in a total train wreck, kicked a player.

Speaker 19 So, he's a kicker.

Speaker 29 Yeah, didn't do well.

Speaker 125 The next up, LeBron James.

Speaker 81 He said on the Lakers season after

Speaker 117 they got Russell Westbrook and signed Carmel Anthony, he said, keep talking about my squad, our personnel ages, the way he plays.

Speaker 33 He stays injured.

Speaker 20 We're past our time in this league, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 156 Do me one favor, please.

Speaker 40 and I mean, please, folded hands, keep that same, that's the emoji, folded hands.

Speaker 50 Uh, keep that same narrative energy when it begins.

Speaker 4 That's all I asked.

Speaker 17 Hashtag thank you. I actually like the verbal emojis, yeah.

Speaker 89 It was written out in front of me.

Speaker 49 Uh, he uh, the Lakers then went 33 and 49, and we did keep that same energy

Speaker 41 only because he asked us, and he uh, they missed the playoffs.

Speaker 1 And here's here's a great thing about this uh uh uh worst take of the year nominee.

Speaker 136 He then provided one that could be another worst take of the year in the future.

Speaker 81 So he laid an Easter egg.

Speaker 61 It's the take that keeps on giving.

Speaker 32 When they missed the playoffs, he said, I can slash will not miss the postseason again for my career.

Speaker 19 This S

Speaker 35 star, star, star, hurt.

Speaker 22 Okay, back to watching these games.

Speaker 137 So that could be, keep your eye on that.

Speaker 17 I think my personal favorite LeBron James tweet was still the MSG one when he was watching playoff basketball. He's like, man, Madison Square Garden is loud as hell.

Speaker 29 Yeah, loud as hell.

Speaker 23 Yes, yes.

Speaker 4 All right, next up, we have Dan Dokich

Speaker 39 for his

Speaker 75 take.

Speaker 125 Interesting.

Speaker 12 Pacers are praised for picking Reggie Miller over Steve Alford in 1987, yet Pacers have not won a single thing in the subsequent 39 years.

Speaker 61 Would they have won anything with Alford?

Speaker 140 Who knows?

Speaker 68 But what we do know is nothing was won with Miller. That's a good point.

Speaker 71 Yeah, Reggie Miller, bad draft pick by the Pacers.

Speaker 6 Pretty much, I mean, the best pacer of all time.

Speaker 17 How many NBA championships did Alford win?

Speaker 19 Zero. Zero also.

Speaker 29 Yeah, zero also.

Speaker 88 But who's to say? Who's to say? You never know.

Speaker 153 That sliding door, butterfly effect, they could have been the best franchise ever.

Speaker 22 Steve Alford could have been the Jordan killer.

Speaker 15 We don't know.

Speaker 137 We were robbed of that opportunity.

Speaker 2 The next up is Kurt Warner.

Speaker 154 This was before the Bills Patriots game in Buffalo with the crazy weather.

Speaker 11 He said, yeah, yeah, it's football weather, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 20 No one enjoys playing in this, and no one can play their best football in conditions like this.

Speaker 68 But what do I know? I'm a dome guy.

Speaker 5 I'll be here for all the windy action.

Speaker 20 And then the last up is our darling Jake for keeping the Wisconsin Badgers out of his preseason bracketology.

Speaker 1 They ended up getting a three seed.

Speaker 107 He was, they won co-Big Ten champions.

Speaker 27 He couldn't have been more wrong about that.

Speaker 136 So terrible, terrible take for you, Jake.

Speaker 78 Yeah, this is why I like staying neutral because I'm just so bad at predictions. But there was no doubt about this one.
There was not one portion of the season where they had a chance of missing

Speaker 17 correct. But, Jake, it wasn't a prediction.
You said time and time again, wait, now I'm confused. Yeah.
Because your explanation was it wasn't a prediction.

Speaker 19 It was a prediction at the time.

Speaker 17 No, it was a reflection of just your formulae, your proprietary algorithm.

Speaker 78 It was a take at the time.

Speaker 18 Right.

Speaker 78 And the November take was wrong, but I had him in by decision.

Speaker 22 And it should have been so easy if you just put him in.

Speaker 11 I know.

Speaker 78 Just two pieces. Provided a great clip.

Speaker 83 That's true.

Speaker 56 It did. It did.
All All right.

Speaker 157 The winner of worst take of the year.

Speaker 69 Drum roll.

Speaker 126 It's LeBron James. LeBron James.

Speaker 17 Good job, LeBron.

Speaker 145 When he said keep that same energy before the season, and then his team went 33 and 49, missed the playoffs.

Speaker 22 Great take by LeBron. We did keep that same energy, like PFT said, and it was fantastic.

Speaker 17 It was great energy. It was fantastic energy, LeBron.
Thank you for helping us help you make the game of basketball better.

Speaker 57 And now he won't even speak to Russell Westbrook.

Speaker 40 Yeah.

Speaker 108 No, they huddled on the phone.

Speaker 133 Did you see that?

Speaker 115 Anthony Davis, LeBron, and Russ huddled on the phone.

Speaker 9 What was the report?

Speaker 17 It was one phone?

Speaker 29 Yeah, and they talked about how they're going to keep that same energy and hopefully win.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 17 All right, before we get to our next Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boars Head makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 17 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 17 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 17 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 12 Next up, PFT, you got the next one.

Speaker 90 Take it away.

Speaker 17 Yes, the next category is the text meant to be sent to somebody else of the year. There are quite a few of them this year,

Speaker 17 several on this podcast.

Speaker 17 The first nominee is Hanks Jim Selfie that he accidentally sent to Dan, Dave, and Gaz.

Speaker 138 The worst three.

Speaker 49 The worst three people you could ever send it to.

Speaker 89 So all on the same text.

Speaker 17 What's the name of that workout thing?

Speaker 58 F-45. F-45.

Speaker 17 How many days in are you?

Speaker 57 Well, I moved, so I did about 30 days.

Speaker 18 Okay, so about 30 days.

Speaker 17 So like 23.

Speaker 74 Did give or take.

Speaker 1 You did over nine days of F-45.

Speaker 89 Yeah, at least.

Speaker 29 Yes.

Speaker 17 And you have the six-pack.

Speaker 57 It's in progress.

Speaker 21 Loading.

Speaker 17 Yes. Six-pack's there.
It's just underneath the other stuff.

Speaker 134 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 58 It's like a 30-pack right now.

Speaker 85 It's the spinning wheel when you try to go on

Speaker 18 Explorer.

Speaker 17 I'm going to put my cape on for Hank real quick because I've seen that Jim Selfie resurfacing a lot recently. It's always funny.
I laugh every single time that does.

Speaker 17 By the way, if you're listening to this,

Speaker 17 do not send, do not reply to this podcast tweet with Hank's gym selfie.

Speaker 17 But the one that they're using isn't even ⁇ it's a Photoshopped one where your face looks like it's been stung by bees and it's all swollen up.

Speaker 17 Your face isn't really that swollen in the original one. Yeah.
It's one of those where the Photoshop has actually overtaken the original in terms of which one people think is true.

Speaker 134 Correct.

Speaker 63 A little disambiguation.

Speaker 57 I would say that people have actually stopped.

Speaker 57 I haven't seen it as much, so thank you for researching that.

Speaker 29 I appreciate that.

Speaker 17 They're definitely going to stop doing it. Yep.

Speaker 66 Yep. Never send that to us.

Speaker 17 The second second nominee was the weird joke that I sent to Big Cat Hank and Peggy or Booker.

Speaker 29 Weird?

Speaker 17 Yeah, it was a weird joke.

Speaker 25 Well, it was just out of nowhere, and we were just talking about getting a guest, and then you just dropped a joke.

Speaker 17 Yeah, I dropped a joke about hooking up with somebody when you're leaving a bar,

Speaker 17 which was meant to be a ghost-written joke for GetUp to impress Mike Greenberg. Yep.
And boy, egg all over my face on that one.

Speaker 17 Next nominee is Liam Screenshots that he replied, where he screenshotted our own conversation on the the group chat and then sent them back to us on the group chat.

Speaker 17 Yes. And the last nominee is Bill Belichick texting Brian Flores.
Congrats on getting the Giants job, just heard.

Speaker 17 Turns out that was meant for Brian Dable. Brian Flores had to be the one that was like, wait, did you mean to send this one to me? And Belichick said, oh, sorry about that.
And I fucked this one up.

Speaker 71 And I know it's not true, but I just assumed that he in his phone has black Brian and white Brian.

Speaker 151 And he just did the wrong one.

Speaker 29 He did did the wrong B.

Speaker 53 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 17 So the winner is drum roll, please.

Speaker 17 Bill Belichick to Brian Flores wins.

Speaker 17 Winners wins. Made the news.

Speaker 106 Yeah, he did.

Speaker 145 He won a takeie.

Speaker 144 That's big.

Speaker 20 So he accepts this award.

Speaker 20 We'll have to text it.

Speaker 25 We don't have his number, but we'll text it to someone who could maybe text it to him.

Speaker 17 Now, I mean, the big brain theory on this is that Belichick did it on purpose, so that Brian Flores would file his lawsuit so that the Dolphins would get in trouble for trying to tamper with Tom Brady right and everything would fall apart and it's kind of worth it

Speaker 61 yeah it is kind of worth it fantastic Belichick that's the best part about being Bill Belichick anything you do if you do something stupid everyone's like the genius of Belichick yep

Speaker 5 okay great award next one league of the year So League of the Year,

Speaker 113 big year for new leagues and old leagues.

Speaker 20 NFL had a great year.

Speaker 12 They're our first nominee.

Speaker 6 They, you know, it's NFL.

Speaker 70 They should just be nominated all the time.

Speaker 17 NFL is king.

Speaker 68 NFL is king.

Speaker 56 The Live Tour.

Speaker 66 The Live Tour is nominated for League of the Year.

Speaker 145 The Live Tour has made waves in the golf world.

Speaker 38 The new tour out of Saudi Arabia that is gobbling up golfers and sports personalities left and right.

Speaker 12 If they take Charles Barkley from inside the NBA, like, or NBA on TNT, I'm going to...

Speaker 63 People are going to be mad.

Speaker 17 Well, why is TNT going to be like the PGA tour to Charles Barkley and say, you're not allowed to work for us and also for the Live Tour?

Speaker 77 I don't know.

Speaker 17 And I think at some point the PGA Tour is going to have to just say, all right, you know what? We're not going to suspend every golfer that goes to Live for Life for the PGA Tour.

Speaker 22 Well, I just assume that the Live Tour would just give Charles Barkley so much money, he wouldn't do other jobs.

Speaker 17 Oh, he wouldn't want to work.

Speaker 52 He wouldn't want.

Speaker 71 And also, like, they would just be like, hey, how about $300 million?

Speaker 25 You can't do anything else.

Speaker 17 Yeah. I mean, it's a possibility that the Live Tour could just take over everything that we like.
Yeah. And every single branch of

Speaker 82 this podcast. Yes.

Speaker 63 Open for business.

Speaker 140 The PLL is nominated for League of the Year.

Speaker 154 PLL has had a big year.

Speaker 35 No thanks to the Water Dogs.

Speaker 22 Darling Jake did a great job on his call.

Speaker 7 This is now we're taping this before he calls on ESPN 2, which hopefully he did well.

Speaker 47 And this won't be ⁇ this could be a nominee for worst take of the year.

Speaker 88 In retrospect.

Speaker 17 The racial slur was a little over the line. Yep.
I mean, expected during a lacrosse broadcast.

Speaker 127 I appreciated the fact that you didn't leave and you just pooped your pants on air.

Speaker 142 That was nice.

Speaker 94 I'm just going to check this out.

Speaker 29 I can't. It's okay.

Speaker 139 This is going to air after the fact.

Speaker 53 They can't kick you off the air yet. Right.

Speaker 17 Also, is it a coincidence that the PLL had their best year ever after Paul Rabel retired? Was Paul Rabel bad for professional lacrosse?

Speaker 68 Some are saying.

Speaker 16 Some are saying.

Speaker 12 Okay, the last one is Mike Trout's Fantasy League, which made waves after Tommy Pham slapped Jock Peterson in the face

Speaker 61 in the outfield before an MLB game.

Speaker 145 We also now have Mike Trouts Fantasy League commissioned by our good friend Stephen Che, and Dave is in the league now, so it is definitely a nominee for League of the Year.

Speaker 2 Do we have a

Speaker 68 cameo, a person?

Speaker 2 I shouldn't have said that word, bleep that out.

Speaker 90 Do we have a presenter for League of the Year, Jake?

Speaker 78 Yes, this was selected by Hank.

Speaker 29 Okay.

Speaker 160 Hello, my award-winning listeners. It is the 2022 Takey Awards.
I am your host, Claire Hogel. Big thank you to PFT for selecting me to announce this prestigious award.
Bonk.

Speaker 78 I picked the wrong one.

Speaker 149 Oh. Oh.

Speaker 108 All right, cut that.

Speaker 31 So that was a little teaser.

Speaker 146 Wait.

Speaker 144 Oh. Yeah.

Speaker 12 I know I'm cutting.

Speaker 17 Okay, I'm going to pretend like I'm surprised next time.

Speaker 52 Okay, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 31 All right, so we have.

Speaker 79 You didn't pick the wrong one.

Speaker 99 That is it. Wow.
Bad job, Jake.

Speaker 4 All right, this this is the beauty of the Takey Awards show.

Speaker 50 You get to see, we're like Steve Harvey incident, every other award.

Speaker 66 Okay, so was that the correct one?

Speaker 4 All right, so play it again.

Speaker 66 We also have not heard, so we all picked some presenting.

Speaker 57 Paul Monitor Jake just ruined my joke right off the bat.

Speaker 34 We picked some different

Speaker 19 presenters.

Speaker 160 It is the 2022 Takey Awards.

Speaker 161 This is Claire Hogle.

Speaker 118 This is Claire Hogle.

Speaker 160 Big thank you to PFT for selecting me to announce this prestigious award, Bonk.

Speaker 149 Bonk.

Speaker 160 And now the moment that you have all been waiting for. The takey winner of League of the Year is the Live Tour.
Go get that paper, boys.

Speaker 160 He asked me, if he keeps swinging it the way he is, he may just end up on the Live Tour himself.

Speaker 143 So who is.

Speaker 17 Great job.

Speaker 19 Great job.

Speaker 29 Who is Claire Hogle?

Speaker 58 She's a golfer. Okay.

Speaker 86 All right. Yeah, no, I know.

Speaker 29 She's an Instagram

Speaker 29 golfer. I was saying more for the people who don't know because I obviously know who

Speaker 29 is.

Speaker 63 So, wait, wait.

Speaker 15 Does she have

Speaker 15 big brows?

Speaker 63 She's a good golfer. Okay, yeah.
All right, okay.

Speaker 17 Yeah, so that was a false flag bonk on Hank's part. It was a setup piece of shit.

Speaker 4 Okay, so Live Tour.

Speaker 10 Congratulations to Live Tour.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 105 Sorry.

Speaker 66 I'm sorry to ruin the Live Tours moment.

Speaker 78 I thought it was Bonk of the Year, but we didn't even have that.

Speaker 79 Yeah.

Speaker 78 Yeah, I screwed that up. I'm sorry.

Speaker 31 We retired that with PFT.

Speaker 151 He's just one bonk of the year.

Speaker 80 Okay.

Speaker 63 Good job. Live Tour.

Speaker 116 Congratulations.

Speaker 117 They needed some good publicity.

Speaker 113 There it is.

Speaker 90 The takey of the year for League of the Year, the Live Tour.

Speaker 73 All right, next up, PFT.

Speaker 17 All right, the next category is the retirement of the year.

Speaker 17 A lot of people walked away from the game on top. Some people walked away from the game

Speaker 17 in third to fourth place, but it was still tremendous. Yep.
Our first nominee is Coach K.

Speaker 17 He had a great retirement.

Speaker 84 He did. Great retirement.

Speaker 10 18 months. Yeah.

Speaker 54 18-month retirement tour.

Speaker 74 A little more, yeah.

Speaker 17 Two-year retirement tour.

Speaker 17 He's probably announced his unretirement already by the time this airs.

Speaker 17 Our second nominee is Jay Wright. Coach Jay.
Yeah. Coach Jay just, he did it classy, just tipped his hat and said, I'll see you guys later.

Speaker 20 Graceful.

Speaker 17 Tom Brady. Tom Brady retired this year.
People forget that. He did.
And then

Speaker 17 Adam Schefter unretired him. Tom Brady re-retired.
Then Tom Brady re-un-retired himself.

Speaker 107 It was actually great for Tom Brady because everyone did, including this show, show, are like, holy shit, Tom Brady is incredible.

Speaker 102 Look at all these stats

Speaker 76 segment.

Speaker 140 Every show did that, and then he unretired, so he gets to do that again.

Speaker 17 Yeah, it's like if you fake your own death, you get to watch all the nice things people say about it.

Speaker 17 John Cena stopped. Oh, yeah, you had a friend that

Speaker 17 pretended to have a friend that died.

Speaker 148 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 17 The next nominee is Antonio Brown.

Speaker 132 Yeah.

Speaker 17 Great retirement. He rage quit in the middle of Jets, Bucs game.
He just left at halftime, threw his gloves into the stands, had Danny Boy hustle hard, pick him up.

Speaker 132 Our guy, yeah.

Speaker 17 Drove around for a little bit.

Speaker 22 I love doing the takeies because, like, a lot of these, like, I obviously didn't forget that Antonio Brown did that.

Speaker 41 I just, being reminded is fun.

Speaker 61 Yeah. You know what I mean?

Speaker 76 Like, it's a nice look back at the entire year and the craziness that happened.

Speaker 17 I think that we should give some respect to Bruce Arians for managing to not have Antonio Brown freak out for as long as he did. Yes.

Speaker 17 You know, we do give credit to Mike Tomlin for that, for managing A.B. and L'Avion Bell Bell at the same time when both of them were just like way out there.
Right.

Speaker 17 But I think that Arian needs a little bit of credit on this one. Agreed.
So the winner of the retirement of the year is.

Speaker 142 Wait, wait, wait. Before we get to it,

Speaker 17 I want to say something here.

Speaker 17 The person that I got to do this cameo,

Speaker 132 really bad job.

Speaker 53 Oh.

Speaker 17 Really bad job. Okay.
And I think it has to do with his coaching that he's received in the past.

Speaker 149 Ooh.

Speaker 29 Okay.

Speaker 17 Hey, Jake, Joey Baker here.

Speaker 37 Hope you're doing well.

Speaker 163 It's a beautiful day in Michigan. Just wanted to say hello.
It's a great year this past season.

Speaker 163 A lot of success on the court.

Speaker 163 An incredible team, an incredible coach, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Speaker 123 Facts.

Speaker 158 So I hope you're doing well and

Speaker 158 hope you have a good day.

Speaker 29 Just didn't read the script at all.

Speaker 137 Completely, completely went off script.

Speaker 86 Did you think that cameo was for Coach K?

Speaker 29 Because he's like,

Speaker 26 hope you're doing well.

Speaker 17 I have no idea. No, he said, hey, Jake.

Speaker 159 Yeah, that's what you're doing.

Speaker 73 It also is interesting because Joey Baker, in the memories that he listed so eloquently there, when he said a lot of great memories, he didn't say his senior day and his senior, like, you know, walking out on the court because Coach K stole that from him.

Speaker 68 Yeah, so he never had a

Speaker 102 Do you want to read your script?

Speaker 29 Jersey retirement. No, no.

Speaker 56 Yeah.

Speaker 17 No, I think, just know that my script, as always, was incredible.

Speaker 17 And that performance just, it was a slap in the face of college basketball. Yes.
Because the entire sport.

Speaker 31 Yes, yes. So, Coach K?

Speaker 86 Coach K wins.

Speaker 73 Coach K, congratulations, Coach K, what an award.

Speaker 38 Hopefully he displays this prominently in the office. He refuses to give up.

Speaker 29 Yeah. All right.

Speaker 126 Next up.

Speaker 111 Finger of the Year.

Speaker 15 Yeah, loaded.

Speaker 111 You'd think, oh, Finger of the Year.

Speaker 29 What the hell?

Speaker 50 Loaded finger of the year category.

Speaker 142 The first up we have horns down.

Speaker 54 Horns down for finger of the year.

Speaker 74 Remember last summer at the

Speaker 21 Big 12 Media Day, the commissioner said

Speaker 12 that horns down, the symbol could be subject to a penalty against them.

Speaker 32 Let me put it this way, Big 12 coordinator of officials Greg Burke said at Big 12 Media Day, if you do a horns down to a Texas player as an opponent, that's probably going to be a foul.

Speaker 89 It's huge.

Speaker 17 Huge. There's a time and a place for it.
Yes.

Speaker 17 So you're allowed to go horns down when you're not playing against the Longhorns.

Speaker 80 Right, right.

Speaker 106 Next up, we have Urban Meyer at the bar with his finger knuckles deep in a young co-ed's asshole.

Speaker 113 He is finger of the year nominee.

Speaker 135 We have Eli Manning on Monday Night Football, the Manning cast.

Speaker 34 He gave the finger to the listeners.

Speaker 56 All-time moment.

Speaker 155 Double bird.

Speaker 137 How could he do that? Eli, how could you?

Speaker 50 And then finally, we have Raising Canes Chicken Fingers because Raising Canes, one love.

Speaker 41 This actually is not an ad.

Speaker 117 They're not advertising on this specific episode, but we love them so much.

Speaker 115 And I think we ate like 100 of them for the final four in New Orleans.

Speaker 1 Can't wait till it comes to New York City.

Speaker 17 They're really beautiful.

Speaker 29 They are. They are.

Speaker 111 All right.

Speaker 164 Drum roll, please, for finger of the year.

Speaker 100 It's Urban Meyer's finger at the bar.

Speaker 17 Of course it is.

Speaker 55 Knuckle deep in a butthole.

Speaker 17 Now, which one was it?

Speaker 17 Was it middle finger? Was it ring finger?

Speaker 1 I think he was switching back and forth.

Speaker 29 Yeah,

Speaker 29 he was doing both. The whole hand.

Speaker 82 The shocker?

Speaker 56 Yeah, his entire hand is immortalized.

Speaker 17 The Dane Cook super finger.

Speaker 29 You remember that one? Yes.

Speaker 17 The middle two?

Speaker 63 Yes, yes.

Speaker 74 So Urban Meyer, great award.

Speaker 59 He's now won.

Speaker 135 Did he win?

Speaker 61 No, he didn't win the take of the year. That was for Colin Coward.

Speaker 152 So Urban Meyer has one award here.

Speaker 132 That's big.

Speaker 17 Finger of the Year. That's actually, it's a new award, but I feel like this one's going to stick around.

Speaker 61 Yes, yes. And it might be named after Urban Meyer going forward.

Speaker 6 I think that's how impressive his performance was this year.

Speaker 114 Okay. All right.

Speaker 17 Next award is for Southerner of the Year.

Speaker 17 Southerner of the Year.

Speaker 17 Part of my take. The first nominee, the Colorado Avalanche.
Yes. Won the Stanley Cup.
Big, big performance in Southerners.

Speaker 17 The second nominee is Brian Kelly and his whole family. Yep.
My family.

Speaker 17 Third nominee is Ben Mintz. So here at Barstwell Sports, we haven't had anybody from the South.

Speaker 17 And it's been a big, glaring hole in our coverage for a long time, especially considering the big stuff that Mississippi's doing.

Speaker 17 And so when we got Ben Mintz, I dare say the entire company changed.

Speaker 51 Yep, I would say so, too.

Speaker 17 I think we've all become a little bit more like Ben Mintz and the direction that he's sent this organization in.

Speaker 17 If you know anything about the Barcelona Sports organizational chart, it goes Dave number one, Hank number two. Ben Mence three, Erica four.

Speaker 57 Yep.

Speaker 40 And it's, you know, when someone's like, we're going to go international, when we hired Ben Ben Mintz, we went national.

Speaker 29 Finally.

Speaker 132 Yeah. It was beautiful.

Speaker 17 Look at what the stock was when Ben was hired. Correct.
Probably compared to what it is right now.

Speaker 29 Correct.

Speaker 101 Correct.

Speaker 29 Yes.

Speaker 17 And then the fourth nominee is

Speaker 17 Cam Smith. Yes.
The Deep South. Yeah.

Speaker 17 Australia in it, Mike.

Speaker 29 Yes.

Speaker 39 Now Live Tour

Speaker 29 golfer.

Speaker 17 The open champion.

Speaker 12 Wait, he's not on the Live Tour.

Speaker 22 He's joined the Live Tour.

Speaker 70 No, that was just

Speaker 6 hasn't been confirmed.

Speaker 29 Maybe by now.

Speaker 56 It has? Maybe by now.

Speaker 17 I think he's going to join the live tour.

Speaker 57 What are your stances if he has at this point?

Speaker 17 I think that they paid him too much. Yeah.

Speaker 68 I think they paid him too little.

Speaker 19 There it is. Yeah.

Speaker 12 If you're looking for guidance, there it is.

Speaker 150 All right.

Speaker 17 And the winner is.

Speaker 29 We have a cameo here.

Speaker 63 Yes, we do.

Speaker 118 Hi.

Speaker 166 I'm Brandon Walker of BarcelonaSports.com. And I thank you guys for having me.
I am here to present the Takey Award, the 2022 Takey Award for Barcelona for the Southerner of the Year.

Speaker 166 That's the Southerner of the Year.

Speaker 166 I'm in the beautiful wilds of Mississippi right now. I'm enjoying life.
It's wonderful out here. You can hear the bugs.
And the Southerner of the Year is...

Speaker 147 All right,

Speaker 166 okay.

Speaker 166 Southerner of the Year is Ben Mintz.

Speaker 118 Yes,

Speaker 166 and that's that's deserved. That's well deserved.
He certainly works hard. He doesn't have decup titties.
Congratulations. The 2022 take here.

Speaker 166 The 2022 takeie to Ben Metz. Ben Mentz.
That's who won that award.

Speaker 58 Thank you.

Speaker 29 Congratulations. That's my ass!

Speaker 11 You threw a chair.

Speaker 62 I think.

Speaker 15 A lot of bugs.

Speaker 116 A lot of bugs in that video.

Speaker 17 I don't know if Ben's actually going to find out that he won this award because

Speaker 17 he works that hard, hard, just nose down.

Speaker 66 Yeah, it's going to take probably, I'd say, around Christmas when we take a little break, he'll find out that he won the award.

Speaker 22 But much deserved Southern of the Year.

Speaker 145 He deserved it, and

Speaker 81 he was great.

Speaker 68 Yeah, we finally have arrived in the South.

Speaker 17 Thank you, Mincy.

Speaker 61 Thank you, Mincy.

Speaker 84 All right, before we get to the next award, PFT, you want to do a quick ad?

Speaker 17 Yes, but before we get to the next award, I want to talk to you about Roman. They've got a brand new product out there.
When I said the name of the product, Billy popped straight up in his seat.

Speaker 17 It's about testosterone. We're going to talk talk tea, folks.
Testosterone affects a lot of aspects of men's fitness and health, from sex drive to muscle and bone mass.

Speaker 17 The experts believe testosterone plays a huge role in our body's natural function. But men's testosterone starts to deplete with age, which is why it's important that you support it early.

Speaker 17 Roman tea support is meant to help men maintain their body's natural testosterone production with a proprietary supplement formulated by Roman's in-house doctors.

Speaker 17 Roman tea support contains a blend of six six nutrients, including ashwanga to support healthy testosterone levels, magnesium to support muscular health, vitamin D3, that's a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a role in bone health and supports several cellular processes, and zinc, an important trace mineral in the body that plays a role in muscle development.

Speaker 17 Roman tea support is not testosterone replacement therapy. It's not TRT.
It's not meant to treat people with testosterone deficiency syndrome.

Speaker 17 GetRoman.com slash PMT to get 15 off your first order of roman tea support that's get roman.com slash pmt get roman.com slash pmt

Speaker 126 okay next up

Speaker 74 dad slash grandfather of the year award big one this year uh the first nominee let's start off very hot one uh odell beckham jr's dad's odell beckham senior uh if you remember when he was on the browns and disgruntled odell beckham

Speaker 61 released a video on YouTube that said Odell Beckham is always open for the Cleveland Browns in 2021.

Speaker 22 It was also titled, Once You Clicked On It, Every Missed Opportunity, Odell Was Open.

Speaker 71 It was just a breakdown of all the times that Baker Mayfield didn't throw it to Odell Beckham Jr.

Speaker 40 And it was so well done and over the top because he used Everybody Hurts by R.E.M.

Speaker 73 as the song choice.

Speaker 47 And it was just a beautiful, beautiful video of Baker Mayfield refusing to throw it to Odell Beckham.

Speaker 17 And then he got his son a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes, he got his son to Super Bowl.

Speaker 84 Some may say that was after LeBron tweeted free OBJ, but either way, all-time dad move.

Speaker 12 Next up, we got Jim Boeheim.

Speaker 77 Jim Boheim, who somehow got, this could have been wild, somehow got both his sons on the Syracuse roster.

Speaker 29 That's wild.

Speaker 17 I don't know how. It's crazy, too.
Yeah. Because it's so wild that they're his kids that he raised.
Yes.

Speaker 17 And now he's also coaching them on a university team where usually that just goes to the best players, but it turns out that his two sons are two of the best players.

Speaker 29 Correct, correct.

Speaker 56 Correct. Wild and awesome for a dad.

Speaker 4 The next up is Coach K

Speaker 66 because his grandson, who wildly was on the Duke roster.

Speaker 110 I don't know how that happened.

Speaker 52 He's a wild driver.

Speaker 2 Wild driver, he got pulled over, arrested for DWI with Paolo Bencaro in the car.

Speaker 117 And Coach K, for some reason, that just disappeared.

Speaker 15 I went and I looked, and he actually said in the moment, right the day after, he said, We're reviewing a legal matter involving two members of the men's basketball team.

Speaker 6 Any further actions as a result of this situation will ultimately be determined by the vice president/slash director of athletics and university officials.

Speaker 59 So, he basically was like, Look, this is not in my hands.

Speaker 92 This is now in the athletic department's hands.

Speaker 68 So, good for Coach K to put that in the athletic department's hands.

Speaker 68 I think it probably came down to the assistant director of athletics, Debbie Severino.

Speaker 22 She probably had the decision, who is also Coach K's daughter and the mother of Michael Severino, who got pulled over.

Speaker 4 So, but good job by Coach K. He was like, you guys handle it.

Speaker 130 Hey, quick question, big cat.

Speaker 17 When it goes down to the athletic department, how much of the Duke Athletic Department is financed by the basketball team?

Speaker 150 I don't know.

Speaker 40 Yeah, it seems like

Speaker 55 I just imagine that the way it was handled internally when Coach K was like, I'm not going to deal with this.

Speaker 7 I'm going to elevate it to the people above me who happen to be my daughter, who's the mother of the player in question.

Speaker 12 Debbie Severino probably just washed Michael Severino's mouth out with soap. Well, and was like, all right, there's your suspension.

Speaker 17 He was basically saying,

Speaker 17 no matter what the police choose to do, I promise you the punishment in my house is going to be even more severe.

Speaker 80 Yes, yes.

Speaker 109 And then the last up, Herschel Walker, who I think is running for Senate in Georgia.

Speaker 7 And he just has new kids come out of the woodwork every other day.

Speaker 68 He has one son that everyone knew about, and then three more

Speaker 71 that have appeared.

Speaker 17 In the last like three months.

Speaker 31 Yeah. So he's down there.

Speaker 66 Probably a couple more coming.

Speaker 103 Yes.

Speaker 17 My brother hit me up the other day. He's like, yeah, five more on the way.

Speaker 137 Yeah, Dad of the Year.

Speaker 155 Yeah, yeah. Let's order another five spot for Herschel Walker.

Speaker 26 Dad of the Year. All right.

Speaker 12 The winner, we have a presenter. This seems like a conflict of interest.

Speaker 71 No, we didn't get it.

Speaker 29 No.

Speaker 157 So Hank was supposed to

Speaker 66 get someone.

Speaker 56 Who are you going to get, Hank?

Speaker 133 You want to say?

Speaker 17 Matt Jones.

Speaker 31 Matt Jones.

Speaker 68 Okay, our good friend Matt Jones?

Speaker 134 No.

Speaker 11 Other Matt Jones.

Speaker 89 The other Matt Jones.

Speaker 17 Which Matt Jones?

Speaker 57 He happened to, I was just kind of looking through the basketball section, just going for someone reasonably priced. Coincidentally, he was a member of the 2015 national championship.

Speaker 29 Oh, that's such a shame. That's such a shame.

Speaker 101 I know.

Speaker 17 Damn. Hank, do you have a speech that you'd like to give on Coach K's behalf?

Speaker 1 Yeah, because Coach K is our winner.

Speaker 56 Dad/slash grandfather of the year.

Speaker 57 Let's let Jake

Speaker 57 read the script.

Speaker 29 No,

Speaker 40 we didn't read PFT. All right, fine.

Speaker 29 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 57 Yeah, I mean, I think, listen, everyone has to deal with tough stuff. Kids are kids, and Coach K.

Speaker 68 22.

Speaker 64 I mean,

Speaker 9 yeah, kid.

Speaker 88 Yeah, he's a kid.

Speaker 58 Billy's 23.

Speaker 17 Yeah, and Billy faces consequences on this show.

Speaker 57 Yeah, and you don't think he got

Speaker 165 worse consequence? Absolutely.

Speaker 22 Billy only drives drunks on days of end with Y.

Speaker 79 Okay, that's fucked up.

Speaker 95 That's not cool.

Speaker 10 Okay.

Speaker 57 But no, I'm sure he's honored with this award.

Speaker 57 He's probably won more awards than any coach in the history of college basketball, considering he's the greatest coach of all time, most wins of all time.

Speaker 57 And so I'm sure he appreciates it.

Speaker 12 He's got two takeies, and I would like, Jake, if you could maybe send this.

Speaker 57 And he's a 2015 national champion. That was kind of

Speaker 17 the emphasis on the takeie award. Not as many ACC championships as Roy Williams since Roy's been in town, though.

Speaker 17 Just think about it.

Speaker 34 So, Jake, can you figure out a way to send both those certificates to Durham?

Speaker 25 Make sure they go to Coach K's office.

Speaker 167 I'll do my best.

Speaker 22 He has both of those now.

Speaker 56 Two-time winner. Wow.

Speaker 127 Congratulations, Coach Kay.

Speaker 9 Wow,

Speaker 70 what a year for him.

Speaker 68 Okay, PFT, your next one you got.

Speaker 17 Our next one, we've got Beef of the Year. Beef of the Year.
Surprise, surprise, our first nominee, Beef of the Year.

Speaker 17 Speaking of Coach K, big cat versus Coach K for taking him down, eliminating him, ruining his retirement.

Speaker 29 I did do that.

Speaker 17 Spreading the good word around New Orleans. Yep.
Like you were basically the Westboro Baptist Church.

Speaker 26 Yep. Yep.

Speaker 17 But for Coach K, showing up, picketing his last appearance, sending out flyers. Our second nominee is Aaron Rodgers versus Vaccinations.
Aaron Rodgers has gone on a crusade against vaccinations.

Speaker 153 He hates them. Hates them.
He hates them.

Speaker 17 Aaron Rodgers will never fucking put a needle in his arm unless it's going to draw two lions on it in front of the solar system with ink.

Speaker 9 Okay? That's correct.

Speaker 17 Third nominee, Kyler Murray versus the Arizona Cardinals team's social media accounts. I kind of forgot about this until last week.

Speaker 17 It's so weird that this is how he's handling his contract stuff and not being happy with not making the playoffs. He's like, I'm going to unfollow my employer on Instagram.

Speaker 51 Yes. Is this the future of Beefs, Billy?

Speaker 87 I think it might be Bugs. I think they're going from beef to bugs.

Speaker 92 What do you mean?

Speaker 70 Oh,

Speaker 70 don't eat the bugs.

Speaker 7 Green bugs. Got it.

Speaker 68 Yeah, I'm not eating the bugs.

Speaker 99 Cricket flower.

Speaker 17 I've had cricket flower before. Oh, okay.

Speaker 68 I noticed that you've become more of a beta.

Speaker 17 Yeah, I'm a gay bug. Shout out to Adam Friedland.

Speaker 17 Our fourth nominee is Jokic Brothers versus the Morris Brothers. That was...

Speaker 20 Awesome.

Speaker 17 That was a great beef because I don't think America knew that much about the Jokic Brothers before this happened. And it turns out that they're sweet.

Speaker 68 They're awesome. Yes.

Speaker 56 And they also, I think they didn't have, I think they had an egg avatar or like a no-name avatar.

Speaker 63 Yes, they did.

Speaker 17 And they were just. And they shared an account.

Speaker 55 Yeah, they shared an account.

Speaker 7 They're just like, we will come and beat your ass.

Speaker 17 Yeah, I think they're probably the scariest people in America right now. Next nominee is Nick Sabin versus John Cena.

Speaker 12 I think that's actually a misprint. I think it's Nick Saban versus Jimbo Fisher.

Speaker 117 Yes, it is.

Speaker 20 That makes way more sense.

Speaker 132 Nick Saban.

Speaker 17 You know what? Fuck it. Nick Saban versus John Cena.

Speaker 26 Yes.

Speaker 17 The beef. Who could forget?

Speaker 4 Yeah, one of the biggest beefs we had this year.

Speaker 17 I'm on Team Sabin.

Speaker 108 I'm going to go with our guy, Cena.

Speaker 82 Okay.

Speaker 17 Next nominee.

Speaker 58 He's had a tough year. Yeah.

Speaker 12 Skip Bayless versus Stephen A.

Speaker 17 Smith. There was a lot of back and forth going on.
Who begged who to join whose show? Who's Batman? Who's Robin?

Speaker 17 It's funny that we can actually have the Batman-Robin debate. about the guys that invented the Batman-Robin debate about basketball.

Speaker 29 Correct.

Speaker 17 And then they got a nasty little divorce. They're seeing other people right now, but they're still madly in love.
They ended up sewing.

Speaker 17 They patched things up at the end, and one day they will get back together. As we've said on the show, I believe it should be the day that LeBron James retires.

Speaker 17 They should get together and debate his legacy. Yes, absolutely.
That's what we need. Pay-per-view.

Speaker 17 And our final nominee, Urban Meyer versus Accountability. Yes.
Urban Meyer versus Accountability. Mad beef going on there.
Urban Meyer hates accountability.

Speaker 17 Accountability has not been seen in a room with Urban Meyer in at least five years.

Speaker 112 You remember he called his entire coaching staff losers, who he hired.

Speaker 17 Also, Aaron Hernandez killed two guys when he was playing for him

Speaker 17 at Florida. Correct.
And Urban Meyer was like,

Speaker 29 buddy's a pretty big red zone threat.

Speaker 133 Yeah,

Speaker 41 he is a matchup nightmare.

Speaker 133 He is.

Speaker 17 And so our Beef of the Year award winner for the 2022 Takey Awards is.

Speaker 17 Urban Meyer versus Accountability.

Speaker 96 All-time beef this year.

Speaker 10 A double winner.

Speaker 17 They slugged it out. Yeah, wow.

Speaker 54 Coach K and Coach Urban. Yeah.
Big year for both of them.

Speaker 7 Urban Meyer now has as many takies as he does NFL wins.

Speaker 17 That's huge. And you know what? I'm sensing a theme between these two guys.

Speaker 17 The only two guys on this list that enjoy faking injuries to avoid accountability.

Speaker 89 Yes, yes.

Speaker 22 So Urban Meyer, huge takeie for him.

Speaker 56 Okay, next up, the comeback meme of the year.

Speaker 68 Big year for memes making a comeback.

Speaker 71 We had the rock shut up, bitch, reply that has made a comeback from the WWE attitude era.

Speaker 153 We have the Hitler meme, which we kind of actually were, I think we're the only ones that brought it back.

Speaker 17 But it did numbies.

Speaker 41 It did do numbies.

Speaker 66 We have Harambe, our sweet prince.

Speaker 2 And then we have the, hey, Kev, how was your weekend meme from the office?

Speaker 41 Again, that might have been our own doing.

Speaker 145 Memes is addicted to it, but that's okay.

Speaker 90 This is really the memes of the year war.

Speaker 17 Memes finds something that works, and then he's like, okay, I'm going to do this all the time.

Speaker 79 And it always works.

Speaker 89 It always does numbies.

Speaker 150 All right.

Speaker 34 The winner, do we have a guest presenter? We do not.

Speaker 33 Billy, why don't you do it? Because

Speaker 70 you were going to have a guest presenter.

Speaker 16 But some of these people didn't get back to us in time.

Speaker 6 No fault of ours.

Speaker 87 So the winner of this year's meme comeback of the year award.

Speaker 38 Yes.

Speaker 53 Harambe.

Speaker 120 Yeah, Harambe.

Speaker 29 Yep,

Speaker 81 sweet, sweet prince.

Speaker 127 Brought the Bengals all the way to Super Bowl.

Speaker 87 Couldn't finish the job, but it was his spirit that carried them all the way there.

Speaker 17 If you look at it on a sliding scale, for grading on a curve, the Bengals losing in the Super Bowl is worth, like, that's a dynasty.

Speaker 17 That's worth at least four Super Bowls in the Rams conversion chart. You know, like, one Super Bowl for Los Angeles doesn't mean shit.

Speaker 169 The Pro Football Football Show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.
Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 87 The Island Boys.

Speaker 100 They're on island time.

Speaker 87 They might get back to us by the time it.

Speaker 29 Yeah, true.

Speaker 21 They will. True, true.

Speaker 80 Okay.

Speaker 17 They better not say anything bad about Hank this time.

Speaker 63 Yeah, that was fucked up.

Speaker 151 They called him a bitch.

Speaker 17 Well, they didn't call him. They sang it.

Speaker 133 Yeah, they did.

Speaker 94 Hank is a bitch.

Speaker 59 The island boys.

Speaker 17 I told them specifically not to say that about Hank.

Speaker 58 Yeah.

Speaker 106 And then they went and did it.

Speaker 128 They're just, you can't,

Speaker 68 you can't cage an island boy. You can't.

Speaker 14 The songbird.

Speaker 126 Okay, next up, PFT.

Speaker 136 What do we got next?

Speaker 17 Next up, we got got that dog in him, Haver of the Year.

Speaker 17 Who got the most dog in him this year?

Speaker 17 Our nominees are.

Speaker 132 Pat Bev. Yeah.
Patrick Beverly definitely had that dog in him in the play-in tournament.

Speaker 17 Yes. Second nominee, DK Metcalf.

Speaker 132 Got that dog in him.

Speaker 66 Yeah, he does. Trying to have a threesome.

Speaker 100 Foursome

Speaker 53 ladies.

Speaker 9 Yes.

Speaker 17 Next nominee is Joey Chestnut.

Speaker 29 Got that dog in him.

Speaker 17 He does.

Speaker 71 He just broke the cherry pie record.

Speaker 11 Ooh. Yeah.

Speaker 131 Dog. Yeah, dog.

Speaker 9 Dog.

Speaker 17 Next nominee is Zach Wilson. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 63 Because he's got that dog in him. He's put that dog in other people, too.

Speaker 131 Putting that dog. Yeah, it's the dog.

Speaker 29 He's got that dog in there.

Speaker 10 Allegedly, right, Billy?

Speaker 118 Allegedly.

Speaker 17 And And so the winner is, Billy, you actually have a cameo for this. Sorry, Billy, you have, you hired a presenter for this award.

Speaker 63 Yes.

Speaker 170 Hey, congratulations, Zach Wilson from Jake March, man. You got no quit in you.
That's outstanding. A heck of an award for pardon my take.
Man, you won this thing. You kept going.
You didn't stop.

Speaker 170 Persistence is the key, and that's how you do it. You ASAG got a lot of dog in you, man.
You get after that stuff. You need to make sure that you keep doing that.

Speaker 170 When you're wrestling an alligator, you don't quit when you're tired. You go and tell alligators tired.
So you keep rolling, man.

Speaker 170 Always remember that hard work can beat talent when talent doesn't work hard. Congratulations again.

Speaker 61 It's great that he has no idea what

Speaker 69 that was the coach from the famous clip, Bob Green.

Speaker 67 Yes. Oh, my God.

Speaker 17 Fantastic. It's always low-key an an insult when you tell somebody like, hey, hard work will beat talent when talent has worker.
They're basically saying you suck.

Speaker 88 Yeah.

Speaker 17 But maybe if you try hard enough that you become annoying.

Speaker 110 Someone will quit. Yeah.

Speaker 17 They'll get sick of playing against you.

Speaker 74 Yes.

Speaker 34 Someone at some point is going to quit and you'll be there to fill that void.

Speaker 17 That was basically what every single coach I've ever had in any sport has told me.

Speaker 23 Yes.

Speaker 70 It is kind of a sneaky diss.

Speaker 159 All right.

Speaker 55 Before we get to the next one, PFT, you got another ad.

Speaker 171 Yeah, but all protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One-made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 171 Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 171 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 171 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.

Speaker 5 Hey, next up, we have the Friend of the Year award.

Speaker 126 Yes, yes.

Speaker 54 So first nominee for Friend of the Year, Urban Meyer, who's already won, he's going to gobble up every award.

Speaker 95 He is nominated for Friend of the Year because he gave Tim Tebow a job, who he didn't need a job, but he gave him a job, had him come to camp, not a distraction.

Speaker 12 Tim Tebow decided 10 years too late that he should be a tight end.

Speaker 109 Didn't make the team.

Speaker 17 He also

Speaker 17 had a friend that was going through some really difficult times in Columbus, which is why he stayed overnight after the Thursday night game.

Speaker 68 Friend everywhere.

Speaker 17 He was trying to lend a helping hand, big cat.

Speaker 80 Yes.

Speaker 12 Next up, we have John Cena from our famous interview with John Cena, who had a friend pass away.

Speaker 12 And we send our condolences again to John Cena. because it was not funny to joke about anything death-related because he had a friend pass away.

Speaker 76 So that's a a good friend, John.

Speaker 17 Regardless of the fact that he was wearing a superhero costume.

Speaker 115 Correct, with purple gloves.

Speaker 54 And then finally, we have Jameis Winston's trainer for Friend of the Year because he's just there and he's,

Speaker 67 I mean, at some point, like, you can only whip a guy with a towel and throw, you know, pool noodles at his head.

Speaker 41 That's Friend of the Year.

Speaker 61 Yeah.

Speaker 64 No,

Speaker 17 I don't understand how he's coming up with the different exercises.

Speaker 17 You just know that his trainer has to be thinking every hour of every day that he's not with Jameis Winston, he's planning new exercises for Jameis to try. Yes.

Speaker 17 Say, okay, we're going to put bees in your pants next time. Yes.

Speaker 20 I'm going to shoot you with a paintball gun.

Speaker 10 Oh, yeah, and her husband died.

Speaker 117 That'd be a proper way to go out.

Speaker 19 Yeah. For sure.

Speaker 64 All right.

Speaker 150 All right.

Speaker 157 Next up, we have the longest injury recovery of the year.

Speaker 84 Some people had some trouble with injuries this year.

Speaker 55 The first nominee is Kawhi Leonard, who...

Speaker 34 I still don't even know what he injured.

Speaker 86 Did he tear his ACL? I think he tore his ACL.

Speaker 17 But people just completely forgot that Kawhi Leonard was even around.

Speaker 22 Yeah, when everyone did their top 10 players, Kawhi just got forgotten because that's just every other year he's just gone for the year.

Speaker 125 Zion Williamson, who was injured for the year,

Speaker 10 looking quite healthy

Speaker 68 in his recovery.

Speaker 17 Not missing many meals.

Speaker 1 Yep. Was injured this year.

Speaker 50 Ben Simmons, who had the double injury.

Speaker 165 He was taking time off for mental health, and then he hurt his back.

Speaker 61 And everyone thought he was going going to play, and then he just didn't play.

Speaker 68 So, uh, congrats to Ben for being nominated.

Speaker 34 And then, finally, Stephen A.

Speaker 68 Smith, who is actually recovering right now as we speak from a lot of injuries.

Speaker 22 So, he tweeted, Appreciate the love I've been receiving from everyone who's missed me on first take.

Speaker 141 I'm out because I'm rehabbing from shoulder surgery, partial tear, rotator cuff, and bicep, along with frayed labrum plus a bone spur.

Speaker 109 Aging sucks, but it is what it is.

Speaker 68 Back next month.

Speaker 26 This is just crazy because, in like in dog years, Stephen A.

Speaker 12 Smith missing a month of first take is like 10 years.

Speaker 51 Yeah, it's crazy because Stephen A.

Speaker 17 Smith, he should just say, I don't want to work in August. Right.

Speaker 139 That's what this means.

Speaker 117 Your mouth is a long way from your shoulder, Stephen A.

Speaker 89 Smith.

Speaker 80 Yes.

Speaker 2 Okay, so the winner, we have a guest presenter for this.

Speaker 175 All right, the Tankies are here again.

Speaker 175 And I am proud to announce the winner of the longest recovery from an injury

Speaker 17 this season.

Speaker 175 A man

Speaker 175 who has no heart.

Speaker 175 A man

Speaker 4 who is literally scared of playing.

Speaker 175 A man

Speaker 175 who wishes that he had a hammock for the sidelines because he does not intend to ever play.

Speaker 175 Yes, that's right.

Speaker 175 I am talking about Ben Simmons. Congratulations on your Takey Award and enjoy a season in that drama box shithole, the Brooklyn Nets.

Speaker 161 Oh,

Speaker 175 what a team.

Speaker 71 And that is our good friend Frank the Tank, who, when I hit him up asking him for that video, he just replied, just about to have pizza, so we'll have to wait.

Speaker 49 But he did get it to it.

Speaker 29 That should be

Speaker 78 a nominee for our next category. What?

Speaker 48 Oh, for Alpha of the Year? Yeah.

Speaker 29 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 49 He does alpha everyone.

Speaker 34 So congratulations to Ben Simmons.

Speaker 68 Okay, next up, Alpha of the Year PFT.

Speaker 17 Yes, it was a big year in Alpha Ying.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I'm actually looking at some of the nominees right now. I don't like this.

Speaker 17 Yeah, so

Speaker 29 I don't know

Speaker 17 what direction we're going to go, but I do know that two of the nominees are kind of tied together. Big Cat got alpha a lot this year.
Yeah. That's fine.
It happens.

Speaker 17 But one of our nominees would say, a true alpha knows when to concede.

Speaker 17 And that's Dan Campbell, who's nominated for Alpha of the Year. Yes.

Speaker 17 And then the other two that I mentioned, Ryan Fitzpatrick, alpha you by simply thumbsupping one of your texts to him saying, hey, we're going to be in Ashburn, Virginia tomorrow.

Speaker 17 We're interviewing Coach Rivera. Would love to interview you too.
And he thumbs up it.

Speaker 29 He thumbs up it.

Speaker 126 But he came on the show. Yes, he did.

Speaker 17 The other is Kevin Durant for leaving you on red.

Speaker 3 He is just constantly thumbs up me.

Speaker 17 Yeah, thumbs up you all day. Yep.
The other nominees are Mike Greenberg for taking everybody's show at ESPN and simply running the station by himself. He is a true alpha.

Speaker 17 And then Jake Marsh, our darling Jake, is also nominated for Alpha of the Year just for excellence in the field of being an alpha.

Speaker 76 His alpha just seeps out at all times.

Speaker 31 When he hit me.

Speaker 17 When he hit me with the hang the banner. Yeah.
Just casually.

Speaker 17 It cuts so deep.

Speaker 37 Or when we played tennis and he just let out that let's go, and it was just like, oh, God.

Speaker 132 Yep.

Speaker 17 When he does anything to Hank.

Speaker 75 Yep.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Whenever he has any interaction with Hank, period.

Speaker 78 Oh, the Celtics beat the Heat.

Speaker 148 That ended it.

Speaker 72 Yeah, but I mean.

Speaker 29 Facts.

Speaker 17 You somehow managed to alpha him when he hit you in the nuts. Yes.
Because everybody was like, Hank, what the fuck?

Speaker 132 Yeah, right.

Speaker 49 That's way over the line.

Speaker 103 Yes.

Speaker 17 Also, could have been nominated for Slap of the Year. Yeah.

Speaker 80 Coming up soon.

Speaker 17 So Alpha of the Year, again, it's Ryan Fitzpatrick, Kevin Durant, Mike Greenberg, Greenberg, Jake Marsh, and Dan Campbell. And the winner of the 2022 Alpha of the Year drum roll.

Speaker 132 Our darling Jake.

Speaker 98 Yeah. Jake wins again.

Speaker 17 Jake. Yeah, you're welcome.
It's an honor.

Speaker 78 Back-to-back years now.

Speaker 29 Oh, see, that's casual alpha right there.

Speaker 56 I didn't even know it was back-to-back.

Speaker 93 I had no idea.

Speaker 29 Honestly, I'm not even sure. So I might have gone wrong there, but

Speaker 17 no, now you're going to look at him and be like, oh, yeah, I was right about that.

Speaker 111 Yeah, actually, three years now.

Speaker 165 Sorry.

Speaker 29 Not three years.

Speaker 78 You guys didn't start this joke until me and Hank.

Speaker 17 Oh, yeah, when you outfit him with the step over.

Speaker 95 No.

Speaker 78 But yeah, it's an honor. Thank you to AWLs.

Speaker 79 And yeah.

Speaker 17 What's the secret, Jake, to being a true alpha?

Speaker 78 Just keep your head down and be myself. And you guys just think I'm an alpha.
Well, you are.

Speaker 29 Yeah. There's no thinking.

Speaker 17 It is the fact. You just said the secret to alpha is being an alpha.
Yeah.

Speaker 139 You're an alpha. I agree.
Through and through. All right.

Speaker 35 Great job, Jake.

Speaker 73 Congratulations.

Speaker 59 Next up, we have Slap of the Year, which I'll throw in nominee Hank slapping Jake in the nuts.

Speaker 129 That absolutely should be a nominee for Slap of the Year.

Speaker 20 We also have Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.

Speaker 3 Whatever happened to all those people who thought that was fake?

Speaker 19 Billy?

Speaker 11 What happened to you?

Speaker 48 What happened to you?

Speaker 87 His tour sold real well.

Speaker 29 Oh, really?

Speaker 56 It did?

Speaker 60 And he talks about it all the time, right?

Speaker 57 Chris Rock, one of the biggest comedians of all time?

Speaker 29 Yes, Hank.

Speaker 137 You wouldn't believe it.

Speaker 83 There was that one show show where everyone was like, see?

Speaker 76 And it was all secondary tickets that he didn't get a dollar from.

Speaker 17 I just think it's bullshit that Hollywood is now blackballing Will Smith for the slap. Yeah.
If they were smart, they would put Will Smith on everything now because Will Smith is hot.

Speaker 29 Yes, real hot in the streets.

Speaker 117 Jock Peterson for getting slapped by Tommy Pham.

Speaker 6 So actually, this should be Tommy Pham's award if he wins.

Speaker 61 Tommy Pham slapping Jock Peterson in the outfield before a game over a fantasy football fight.

Speaker 22 We have video evidence.

Speaker 157 I I mean, that's a story. Jake,

Speaker 102 put that in your calendar.

Speaker 16 Can you just remind us that story like

Speaker 27 November 7th?

Speaker 54 Just give us a reminder.

Speaker 22 Remember when two Major League Baseball players got in a fight over fantasy football and one of them slapped the other?

Speaker 17 It was really, it was a fight over using hyper-aggressive gifts in a group chat. about fantasy football.

Speaker 28 Yes, and a little waiver wire, too.

Speaker 29 The injured stashing list, yeah, the stashing.

Speaker 80 And then

Speaker 12 we also have Juwan Howard when he smushed my coach, Greg Gard in the face.

Speaker 125 Well, he slapped, he smushed Joe Krabenhoff.

Speaker 117 Did he slap Greg Gard?

Speaker 100 No, I think he just smushed Krabenhoff.

Speaker 17 He smushed, but it was.

Speaker 17 We're going to count that as a slap.

Speaker 9 Yeah, that's a slap.

Speaker 176 All right, the winner of Slap of the Year, big year for slaps.

Speaker 13 It's Tommy Pham.

Speaker 100 Tommy Pham wins Slap of the Year.

Speaker 109 I mean, just

Speaker 107 an all-time story.

Speaker 66 One of the best stories we've had in a long time

Speaker 4 that still is hilarious just thinking about it.

Speaker 66 I can't wait for November 7th.

Speaker 47 That will be official Tommy Fam Day.

Speaker 17 I do think that slapping has made a comeback recently because you've seen a lot of those. I think it's Russian fights that they have or Russian slap competitions where they stand at the same table.

Speaker 17 I still don't know the rules of that because every time I watch it, there's a guy that just like uses his whole body and slaps the shit out of a guy.

Speaker 17 And then another guy that just goes like straight arm, 45-degree angle, casual slap, and that guy always loses.

Speaker 127 I love slaps.

Speaker 101 Slaps are great.

Speaker 36 They're like, you know,

Speaker 137 you can't really get that hurt from a slap.

Speaker 31 It's also just a very, like, once you get slapped, you either have to go full out fight or you just have to eat it and walk away.

Speaker 17 I would rather get knocked out with a punch than slapped really hard, disrespectfully.

Speaker 87 The slap suggests you're lesser, not worth punching.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 134 Brad, that's true.

Speaker 22 I'm not going to waste my fist on this.

Speaker 29 I'm just going to go open hand.

Speaker 159 Okay, next up.

Speaker 68 We got a few more.

Speaker 17 Next up, up, we have trend of the year.

Speaker 17 The trend of the year this year in 2022. The first nominee is taking your salary in Bitcoin or in crypto.
That's real hot. A lot of guys took all their salary.

Speaker 17 I think Russell Ocoom was patient one on this, but I know Spencer and Dinwiddie did it. A few other guys have done it.
Yep. I'm taking my salary here at part of my taking apes.
Yep.

Speaker 17 So I get three apes an episode and a couple slurp juices. The second nominee is.

Speaker 112 I get Ascoin.

Speaker 12 Ascoin? Yeah, that's all I get.

Speaker 17 I got mine last year. So much Ascoin.
In Cum Rocket. Yeah.
In Cummies, the market really tanked. There was a Cumbubble that popped.

Speaker 17 Ripping Pants is nominated for Trend of the Year. Ripping Pants from the Back.
Billy got his pants ripped off multiple times. Once while talking to a girl, once while

Speaker 17 at a boxing match, right?

Speaker 17 I got my pants ripped off. My balls flew out.
Billy put my balls on TikTok. And there have been a couple other pants rips going around in the office.
Will Compton got one pant leg ripped.

Speaker 76 Yep.

Speaker 17 Next nominee is Cap.

Speaker 17 Cap. Trend of the Year.
Everyone's saying Cap.

Speaker 4 Big trend.

Speaker 17 The kids are saying Cap, left and right. It's the year of the Cap.
Yep. And then the final nominee is the Crying Face filter.
Yes. On Snapchat.

Speaker 17 That was real hot. It was.
For the whole year.

Speaker 6 And it still kind of fucks me up every now and then when I see it and I'm like, wait, is that person actually crying?

Speaker 3 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 72 Nope. Filter.
Yep.

Speaker 6 It's actually a great time to be a crier.

Speaker 117 For sure. He's like, no, that was the filter.

Speaker 17 100%.

Speaker 17 Mr. Borrelli's living large.
Yes. Yes.
The winner of Trend of the Year

Speaker 17 is Ripping Pants.

Speaker 105 Ripping Pants, Billy.

Speaker 29 Holy shit.

Speaker 17 Congratulations.

Speaker 34 Hell yes, Billy.

Speaker 17 Billy,

Speaker 17 you are the

Speaker 17 Pied Piper of the Pants Rip.

Speaker 40 He brought it to us.

Speaker 66 I remember we were in Vegas and he said, hey, I need you to rip my pants.

Speaker 7 And I was like,

Speaker 69 okay.

Speaker 16 And then it was one of those moments I trusted Billy and it went dummy viral.

Speaker 87 I'd like to shout out the original video. I saw people ripping pants.
It was a bunch of dudes drinking beer in a basement.

Speaker 7 Fuck yes. And one of them.

Speaker 17 They were all a good trend start.

Speaker 87 They were all wearing jeans, and one guy was leaning against the bar, and his friend grabbed his pants and ripped them.

Speaker 7 What? But they were

Speaker 127 harder than some of our clean rips. I think we originated the clean rip.

Speaker 87 This guy got tossed around like a ragdoll while he was trying to rip off his friend's pants.

Speaker 56 Yeah,

Speaker 76 the first pants I ripped of yours were very old jeans, and you're like, these will rip.

Speaker 66 I also, I love the people who just can't enjoy a good pants ripping, and they're like, it was pre-cut.

Speaker 117 I also love the people who are like, that's so fucked up.

Speaker 63 How would you do, like, how could you do that?

Speaker 72 Just really, really great gamut of internet that we have with the pants ripping.

Speaker 87 We're paid professionals. Don't try this at home.
Yeah, that's a fact.

Speaker 79 That's true.

Speaker 134 That's a fact.

Speaker 4 Okay, next up, we got

Speaker 19 four left.

Speaker 10 This is the fourth to last.

Speaker 32 This is ratio of the year.

Speaker 157 So very

Speaker 47 prestigious award.

Speaker 88 Do we know who won it last year?

Speaker 24 Was the guy who said he didn't come on his cats?

Speaker 47 That was a couple years ago.

Speaker 108 So I didn't fuck my cats.

Speaker 78 Last year we had five nominees. All five were Kevin Durant.

Speaker 149 Oh, okay.

Speaker 78 So the winner was

Speaker 78 his interaction with Shannon Sharp. Y'all drunk uncle out here lying again.
When did I say this, Shannon Sharp?

Speaker 158 Wow.

Speaker 78 I'm trying to see the context.

Speaker 78 It was deleted.

Speaker 25 This construction sucks.

Speaker 134 It was deleted.

Speaker 20 All right, so good segue because Kevin Durant is nominated only once this year.

Speaker 126 He had, there was someone named Cuffs the Legend on Twitter said Kyrie needs a better team around him.

Speaker 20 Kevin Durant quote-tweeted it and said, Kyrie needs a better team around him.

Speaker 107 And then a picture, very funny picture of a dude just sitting on his phone in an empty apartment room with no furniture.

Speaker 69 Oh, wow.

Speaker 27 Very funny tweet.

Speaker 116 That ended up having 37,000 retweets.

Speaker 40 And the original tweet only had 39 retweets.

Speaker 132 Incredible.

Speaker 35 Incredible ratio.

Speaker 74 The next up, we had, so we had Mike Florio on, and we found one that he got ratioed on.

Speaker 59 And then I went and I looked.

Speaker 22 He's been ratioed many times.

Speaker 71 But actually, the most ratio, the biggest ratio he had was his steak picture.

Speaker 117 Mike Florio is the last person, our good friend, last person to enter the world and honestly give a steak picture expecting good results.

Speaker 88 Nothing good happens.

Speaker 22 He said, trying this again, I needed to give steak Twitter something to chew on.

Speaker 126 Wagu strip, 18 ounce.

Speaker 27 It looks like tuna, the way he cooked it.

Speaker 142 It has

Speaker 29 over 1,200 quote tweets, and only 52 tweets.

Speaker 55 That's also another thing about the ratio.

Speaker 33 The ratio has now changed where it's really about quote tweets.

Speaker 31 Like the quote tweets are what gets you.

Speaker 35 The next up is the Chicago Cubs for trading away everyone who won a World Series in 2016.

Speaker 22 And then the day after the trade, they said, here's our starting lineup for tonight.

Speaker 69 And that had 1,200 quote tweets.

Speaker 17 i also wrote here's this here's tonight's starting ratio underneath that one and i got 13 000 likes their original tweet only had 2 000 likes incredible so yeah that was a good ratio i'd like to see a i'd like to see an inconsequential team out there just like make up a starting lineup yeah include their one so the the pirates could probably do it if they put o'nil cruise o'nil cruise and then just made up every other name around and be like here's tonight's starting lineup yeah Probably nobody would even notice.

Speaker 34 Yeah, and I'm not a ratio guy, but that was a thrilling ratio to be a part of.

Speaker 35 You just be like, here's your starting ratio.

Speaker 17 I'm not a ratio guy, but what I am, counter-ratio guy. Yeah.
I like to reverse. I play the reverse card of Nuno.

Speaker 86 Yeah, I like to do the credit card that says your ratio has been declined.

Speaker 89 Ratio declined.

Speaker 17 I also like putting the picture of the ref in soccer, doing ratio check. Yeah.

Speaker 17 Doing VAR and then ratio denied.

Speaker 29 Red card.

Speaker 137 Those are great.

Speaker 59 We have Annalyn McCourt, who is,

Speaker 107 I don't know why she's famous.

Speaker 1 Is she an actress, I believe?

Speaker 27 She put out a video when Ukraine and Russia, the war started there.

Speaker 117 She said, Dear Mr.

Speaker 37 President Vladimir Putin, and in her video, she basically was like, I wish I were your mother, because if I were your mother, I would have hugged you and

Speaker 136 raised you correctly with so much joy in your life and everything here.

Speaker 102 I'll actually play a little bit of it because, well, let's wait.

Speaker 31 Let's go.

Speaker 24 So she had 113,000 quote tweets.

Speaker 24 113,000 quote tweets.

Speaker 17 She probably made up like 5% of Twitter that day.

Speaker 107 It was something else.

Speaker 33 Okay, and then finally, our last nominee is Stuart Mandel, who is a writer at Sports Illustrated, I believe.

Speaker 155 I don't know where he writes, but when it was announced that we had a bowl game, Barstow Bowl game, he wrote, business is business, but at least ESPN is not a notoriously misogynistic company.

Speaker 67 If you are familiar, these guys have all the fun or something, whatever the book title is.

Speaker 17 Yeah, those guys have all the fun.

Speaker 22 Have all the fun about ESPN in the early days.

Speaker 38 Also, they've had stories like as of like last year about the misogyny there.

Speaker 22 He had 559 quote tweets on his and only 15 real retweets.

Speaker 17 That's incredible.

Speaker 80 Yeah, really nice.

Speaker 35 All right, the winner of the ratio of the year.

Speaker 61 Drumroll, please.

Speaker 15 It is.

Speaker 2 Annalyn McCord.

Speaker 17 Congratulations, Annalyn.

Speaker 56 Her open letter to Mr.

Speaker 54 Vladimir Putin and here to accept the award is Annalyn McCord.

Speaker 177 Dear President Vladimir Putin,

Speaker 177 I'm so sorry that I was not your mother.

Speaker 177 If I was your mother, you would have been so loved, held in the arms of joyous light.

Speaker 177 Never would this story's plight the world unfurled before our eyes, a pure demise of nations sitting peaceful under a night sky.

Speaker 97 If I was your mother, the world would have been war.

Speaker 100 All right, you get the gist.

Speaker 60 So she went on and on about fantasizing about Putin being Putin's mother.

Speaker 82 She was like, if you had these titties,

Speaker 17 you would not be invading Ukraine. Yeah, she would be.
You would be a peaceful man.

Speaker 27 I love it too because it's not only the ratio of the year, but it might be narcissism of the year to be like, if I was your mother, I would have stopped all war.

Speaker 17 Yeah, it's also fucked up like towards Putin's actual mom. Like, how do you know she wasn't a nice lady?

Speaker 106 Yeah, she could have been great.

Speaker 17 That's low-key misogynistic. It's like blaming Putin's mom for everything that he's done.

Speaker 18 Right, right.

Speaker 108 That's true. That's a very good point.
Billy.

Speaker 87 Putin's mom lived through Stalingrad.

Speaker 151 Oh, wow. Yeah.
She's a tough woman.

Speaker 132 So she's, yeah.

Speaker 17 I would trust Putin's mom to raise me before her. Yeah.

Speaker 80 Okay.

Speaker 62 Let's go to the next one.

Speaker 22 That was a great one.

Speaker 35 Ratio of the Year.

Speaker 108 Emily McCord.

Speaker 22 Congratulations.

Speaker 17 Great honor. Congratulations.
The next award is an annual award that we do. The Preemptive Take of the Year.
Yes. Award.
Preemptive Take of the Year.

Speaker 17 So we're calling her shot for what the Take of the Year in 2022/2023 is going to be.

Speaker 146 Hank.

Speaker 45 give us your preemptive take of the year.

Speaker 153 It can be someone else is going to say this, or you could actually have the take.

Speaker 108 Do you want me to start?

Speaker 101 Yeah, I'll start.

Speaker 147 Okay.

Speaker 151 Thanks, Hank. He's just lost for words right now.

Speaker 117 Here's my take.

Speaker 12 I think that we are going to get a one-on-one sit-down interview.

Speaker 25 with Dan Orlofsky and Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 60 And he is going to set him straight on how to not be horny.

Speaker 114 That's great.

Speaker 108 I want that.

Speaker 31 I need it.

Speaker 3 I'm going to call my shot.

Speaker 63 It's way outside the ballpark shot.

Speaker 34 And I think the chances are maybe less than 1%,

Speaker 56 but I'm going to call it. That's my preemptive take of the year.

Speaker 17 So Dan Orlofsky, according to his rules, it would be like, Deshaun,

Speaker 17 don't ever go to a room by yourself. Don't ever be in the same room as a woman.
Yep.

Speaker 17 The thing about Deshaun, though, have we considered, like, it might not be a woman thing. It might just be like a massage thing.

Speaker 22 Yeah, it might be a massage. He might have just

Speaker 14 too much massage porn.

Speaker 17 Like, it might be a hand is a hand. Yeah.

Speaker 29 You know what he'll do?

Speaker 17 Deshaun Watson to get around that, he'll make a milking table for himself that he'll bring with him like he brings his towel. Yeah.
Face down, can't see what's going on underneath the table.

Speaker 17 If you've seen.

Speaker 22 That would actually be the perfect Dan Orlovsky.

Speaker 22 They're sitting, I'd imagine they're sitting in a giant room very close together, and he just takes Deshaun Watson's hand.

Speaker 6 He's like, look at this hand.

Speaker 101 This hand can do everything for you: throw a football, jerk you off, everything.

Speaker 20 Anything, and he maybe even just shows him the motion, too.

Speaker 17 I mean, according to Dan, if you're just hanging out with bros, jacking each other off, that's actually good. Yes, that's saving your marriage.

Speaker 145 Yes, that's absolutely saving your marriage.

Speaker 22 So, yeah, Dan Orlofsky interviewing Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 86 I like that. PFT, why don't you go so we give Hank another?

Speaker 157 Oh, you got yours?

Speaker 17 Okay. Okay, why don't you go ahead, Hank?

Speaker 57 I think this is the year that LeBron responds to Skip.

Speaker 64 Whoa.

Speaker 95 Tries to cancel.

Speaker 29 Whoa.

Speaker 57 Tries to get him off the air.

Speaker 71 How bad is this construction, by the way?

Speaker 29 Really bad.

Speaker 99 Okay, all right. So I thought last year.

Speaker 19 It's really bad.

Speaker 66 I thought last year what LeBron was doing with Westbrook

Speaker 11 was

Speaker 17 three feet away from the studio. Because he brought Westbrook in to kind of serve as a human shield against Skip Bayless.
Yes. Knowing that Skip would go after Westbrook instead of going after LeBron.

Speaker 17 Little did he realize that that just gave Skip Bayless fuel to to be like, look who LeBron brought in.

Speaker 57 And here's why. Skip's going to start going after Bronny Jr.

Speaker 149 Oh.

Speaker 57 And then LeBron's going to be like, that's a bridge too far. Time's up.
He's going to try and times up Skip.

Speaker 53 Okay.

Speaker 17 I like new media.

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 17 Got it. He's going to new media him.

Speaker 95 Yeah.

Speaker 150 All right.

Speaker 106 Fair enough. Okay.

Speaker 127 Billy. This construction's driving me shit.

Speaker 167 I was about to say, should we open the blind and tell him to stop?

Speaker 17 Yeah, Billy, you work construction. You can talk to these guys.

Speaker 147 Okay.

Speaker 45 Billy's gonna go get this construction stopped.

Speaker 58 All right, Billy.

Speaker 78 Good luck. By the way, Billy won this category last year.

Speaker 64 I'm gonna go out

Speaker 78 by his take being 2022 is going to be sick.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 78 That was the winner. Literally?

Speaker 29 That's what he said.

Speaker 39 That was a great call by him.

Speaker 78 Hank actually had a good one. It was a nominee.
The NCA will be defunct within five years. Now with the conference realignment,

Speaker 29 actually,

Speaker 146 Hank.

Speaker 56 Okay, what was mine?

Speaker 78 It was Mike Florio and Max Kellerman were the other ones. Max Kellerman said Tom Brady's falling off a cliff.
Mike Florio with Richard Sherman's agent and COVID.

Speaker 147 I don't know the context of that one.

Speaker 29 Okay.

Speaker 72 That sounds, both those sound right.

Speaker 12 I don't know why, but they both sound like they happened.

Speaker 73 PFT, yours.

Speaker 103 Mine.

Speaker 17 It's time for Bill Bilichek to retire.

Speaker 149 Oh,

Speaker 130 it's time.

Speaker 17 Has the game passed him by?

Speaker 110 Wow.

Speaker 68 I feel like you've been saying that.

Speaker 17 Wow. I've never said that.

Speaker 29 I guarantee you.

Speaker 17 No, you're projecting.

Speaker 63 Wow.

Speaker 17 You're projecting.

Speaker 58 Wow. Because there's no shadow of a doubt in my mind.

Speaker 17 We know that Tom has won the divorce. He won a Super Bowl.
Mac Jones, I'll put it this way. If Mac Jones is not the answer this year.

Speaker 162 He is.

Speaker 17 If he's not,

Speaker 17 I think we're going to have the conversation. Bill, is it time to go coach lacrosse?

Speaker 57 I have some savory metrics for you about Mac Jones if you want them.

Speaker 58 Yeah, hit me.

Speaker 148 Let me pull him up.

Speaker 17 Two DUIs.

Speaker 9 Nope.

Speaker 79 No.

Speaker 17 More DUIs than...

Speaker 153 There's an Alabama, whatever.

Speaker 17 More DUIs than complete passes against the Bills in their Monday night football win against them.

Speaker 79 Oh, shit.

Speaker 57 Never mind. I don't have them.

Speaker 79 I can't find the tweet.

Speaker 87 Saliencio Solimente Ahora.

Speaker 94 Whoa.

Speaker 29 But we got an hour.

Speaker 63 That's not going to be enough, but that's good. You'll go back out there.
Yeah.

Speaker 103 I like that. No mas.
Way to go, Billy.

Speaker 29 Billy Space. Oh, Harry.
Speaker of the Year award.

Speaker 57 Joe Barrow, 520 passing attempts, 4,198 air yards. Mac Jones, 521 pass attempts, 4,260 air yards.

Speaker 17 Air yards. I love it.
I love it.

Speaker 17 I love air yards. Yeah.

Speaker 31 Air yards is a great stat.

Speaker 4 That's two falls apart in air yards.

Speaker 82 Yeah.

Speaker 13 I'm two and on, but yeah.

Speaker 63 Okay, who hasn't gone?

Speaker 66 Jake, Billy, preemptive take of the year.

Speaker 78 A team that a PMT member roots for will win a championship.

Speaker 29 Oh, okay. Well, I'm out.
Never know. Celtics.

Speaker 58 Yeah, I'm out.

Speaker 108 The Celtics have to win. We have so many opportunities.

Speaker 94 Yeah, I know five opportunities.

Speaker 29 100% out. U.S.

Speaker 19 Men soccer.

Speaker 29 Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 17 Congratulations.

Speaker 19 There we go.

Speaker 155 Maybe the sky will go back-to-back.

Speaker 162 Yeah.

Speaker 9 I'm out.

Speaker 132 Just circle back on this.

Speaker 22 There's actually, like, if you could parlay against all the Chicago teams, it would be a lot of fun.

Speaker 78 Keep in mind, Big Cat. If Ohio State wins the college football playoff, you're going to count that.

Speaker 63 Oh, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 68 That is Big Ten, yeah. Might win.

Speaker 79 You're right. You're right.
Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 71 I was like, that's sad that

Speaker 151 Hank has to win it.

Speaker 17 Or, I don't know, Republicans probably taking the house back for Billy.

Speaker 29 Yeah, Billy.

Speaker 87 Shut up, Billy. Just one, I was just lib of the year.

Speaker 62 Red wave, baby.

Speaker 29 Red wave.

Speaker 72 I was still live of the year.

Speaker 22 No, you weren't.

Speaker 165 You're not lib of the year.

Speaker 29 But yeah, I got

Speaker 88 participation.

Speaker 64 Yeah, you did nominate.

Speaker 17 Billy's the only person that can be simultaneously MAGA and Lib. You're like the libbest MAGA out there.

Speaker 87 Well, I'm just the worst of both sides.

Speaker 29 Yeah, you are.

Speaker 74 You are the worst of everything.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 66 Okay, Billy, your your preemptive take of the year.

Speaker 167 Did we review past takes?

Speaker 107 Yeah, you won last year.

Speaker 14 2022 is going to be sick.

Speaker 9 Hmm.

Speaker 38 It's been pretty

Speaker 29 sick.

Speaker 39 Maybe not for you personally.

Speaker 87 Okay, it was sick till like the last month may have not been sick, but it was sick before that. Yep.

Speaker 56 I'm going to go.

Speaker 31 It was really sick for you before that.

Speaker 56 I know.

Speaker 64 I know.

Speaker 132 I'm going to go.

Speaker 167 I'm not going to say it's 2023

Speaker 87 is probably going to be

Speaker 76 say that it's going to be the year of just

Speaker 116 normality.

Speaker 9 Oh,

Speaker 17 a return to normalcy.

Speaker 88 Nice. I think we're going to get

Speaker 1 that.

Speaker 73 And that is in conjunction with the Red Wave?

Speaker 29 No. Oh, okay.

Speaker 17 I think that means that the Patriots are winning another Super Bowl.

Speaker 112 I just love the idea of Billy, like when he was out with the La Crosse Bros that fateful night, and he was like, they're like, dude, don't you have to work tomorrow?

Speaker 67 He's like, no, no, no, dude.

Speaker 6 I already said 2022 is going to be sick.

Speaker 10 Like, it's good.

Speaker 29 they know

Speaker 69 entertaining clients clients yeah all right good job good preemptive takes all right um we have a winner no we we picked a winner last time it was billy i don't think we should pick a winner right now i mean that was clearly the best one i think we have to wait yeah we have to wait

Speaker 63 yeah we have to wait

Speaker 56 i hope it's billy normalcy would be good normalcy would be great all right It is time.

Speaker 1 Before we do this, let's go to an ad and then we'll intro Blake of the Year, which is we have the two competing Blakes and it's phenomenal.

Speaker 178 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 178 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 178 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 178 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a a home gating celebration.

Speaker 178 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 128 Okay, let's do it.

Speaker 42 Blake of the Year.

Speaker 12 Okay, it is now time for one of the most important takey awards given.

Speaker 145 I'd say it's the most important.

Speaker 164 It is the Blake of the Year award.

Speaker 12 Just to refresh everyone's memory, we've done it different ways.

Speaker 52 We did who can answer the phone faster.

Speaker 108 Last year, we did the ping-pong ball draft that I think was maybe the low point for this show in general.

Speaker 29 I think the low point for recorded audio.

Speaker 155 Yes,

Speaker 56 it was tragic how that went.

Speaker 2 But this year, we have Blake Bortles and Blake Griffin are good friends.

Speaker 85 Blake Bortles is, is he the, did you win last year, Blake?

Speaker 179 I did, yeah, I did.

Speaker 71 Yeah, yeah, so you are the defending champ, Blake of the year.

Speaker 125 Um, and you'll notice there is not a third Blake this year.

Speaker 142 It is Brooks Kepka.

Speaker 83 He has been suspended because he joined the live tour.

Speaker 40 Upon appeal, upon appeal, he has given us a statement.

Speaker 113 I'm going to say right now from this statement, we can decide as a community here whether we should lift his appeal for next year, but he is suspended for this year.

Speaker 76 He wrote, following my suspension, I scheduled my honeymoon to keep myself distracted, but I'd like to say I made sure this was a Blake of the Year type year for me.

Speaker 49 I competed during the year, didn't throw a touchdown, didn't throw down a dunk for an entire year, nor did I win, but I got a Supermax deal, as Blake would say, to help my team win.

Speaker 34 I hope to win within the near future since I only have to now beat 47 people every weekend.

Speaker 125 So that is Brooks' official statement.

Speaker 35 I think personally we should unsuspend him for next year's Blake of the Year.

Speaker 66 I'll let everyone decide, though.

Speaker 17 I'll consider it time served, in my opinion. I'm going to vote with Big Cat.
I say that Blake is welcome back next year.

Speaker 134 Yeah.

Speaker 4 So you guys, Blakes, what do you think?

Speaker 29 Go ahead, Blake.

Speaker 180 I think

Speaker 180 it's a compelling argument.

Speaker 180 I think you guys are right. I think there has to maybe possibly be one one caveat, and that's that we get to fly on the live jet.

Speaker 72 Yep, smart. I like that

Speaker 46 tournament.

Speaker 46 I mean, you know, it's words are great.

Speaker 180 I like to see people live it out. So if we can go watch him, you know, play a tournament, fly with him, all that, just to make sure he's living up to Blake code.
Yeah.

Speaker 180 You know, I'm, I'm, I'm willing to allow it.

Speaker 18 Okay. I like that.

Speaker 47 Yeah. What do you think, Blake?

Speaker 179 Yeah, I agree with everything that's said.

Speaker 179 I'd like to be on that plane as well.

Speaker 18 Maybe if he threw us a party, I think that would maybe make up for some of the things that have happened.

Speaker 179 But I'd welcome him back with open arms.

Speaker 145 Okay, so a party and a trip on the live jet, and then he's officially unsuspended.

Speaker 17 Yeah, you got to show him love. You know, you got to bring him back to the lightness with a little bit of your love.

Speaker 82 Yes, yes.

Speaker 47 Okay, so it is a two-man race this year.

Speaker 47 Before we do it, so how we're going to do it is PFT has come up with some trivia that we are going to give the Blakes,

Speaker 68 and we'll decide Blake of the Year from that.

Speaker 61 Let's first go with Blake Griffin

Speaker 137 before we start the trivia.

Speaker 2 Anything you'd like to say about your past year and how everything went?

Speaker 180 Yeah, sort of honestly,

Speaker 180 man, not to get too dramatic, but everything sort of went downhill after last year's Blake of the Year.

Speaker 46 I

Speaker 180 had a had a rough year, fellas, and I think it started with those ping-pong balls.

Speaker 95 Yeah.

Speaker 180 Now I can't even look at a ping-pong ball without thinking of the devastating loss, but I will say this.

Speaker 180 It's an honor to lose. If I have to lose to somebody, I'd rather lose to a Blake.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 17 We did go see you in the playoffs this year, Blake.

Speaker 17 It was game four.

Speaker 17 And you were.

Speaker 64 Oh, cool.

Speaker 123 I played that one.

Speaker 11 Yeah, you did.

Speaker 19 I was about to say, you were hustling.

Speaker 17 You were on the ground like all the time.

Speaker 180 Thanks, man. Just trying to bring the grit, grit, you know, to the name Blake, make up and make the other Blakes proud.

Speaker 134 But, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 82 It was nice. Yeah.

Speaker 74 All right.

Speaker 174 And Blake Bortles, your year as champion, Blake of the Year. How'd it go?

Speaker 179 The Blake of the Year competition last year was probably the high point of my year.

Speaker 179 I didn't throw a touchdown pass or dunk or win a golf tournament this past year, but you know, things are looking to turn around this year, I think.

Speaker 17 Yeah, yeah, I mean, you did play in the NFL, though. Like, you were you were on the Saints.
I got your jersey. I'm maybe the only person in America that got it.

Speaker 179 I did. I was on a couple sidelines last year, so we'll uh, we'll see if anything comes from that.

Speaker 180 This kind of begs the question: is uh, is there a curse? Is there a blank of the year curse?

Speaker 134 That's fair to ask, yeah, yikes.

Speaker 23 Let's not think about that, let's not think about that.

Speaker 29 probably not

Speaker 157 Yeah, okay, all right Let's get to the trivia decide Blake of the year this year

Speaker 34 this this Blake will have an entire year to revel in the fact they're Blake of the year.

Speaker 61 People will be calling you Blake of the year

Speaker 34 Yeah, we got to re-record the intro so the Blake of the year will end up having the intro to part of my take it is our biggest honor that we give out.

Speaker 88 And it doesn't come lightly.

Speaker 41 You have to do everything that all Blakes should do and act like a Blake at all times.

Speaker 137 So without further ado, PFT, you have our trivia.

Speaker 17 Yeah, so we're going to do some Blake trivia right now, and that's how we're going to decide this.

Speaker 17 So we'll go one at a time. There are three questions.

Speaker 17 Just an opening statement from each of you. What's your stance on the Saudi Public Investment Fund?

Speaker 17 Blake Griffin.

Speaker 180 Why am I always going first? I've gone first every time. I'd like to cherry pick off other people's answers.

Speaker 180 Sorry, say the question again.

Speaker 17 What is your stance on the Saudi Public Investment Fund?

Speaker 180 Oh, man, you know what?

Speaker 180 Politics, especially today,

Speaker 180 are such a tough topic. And, you know, I have enough trouble keeping up with

Speaker 180 the politics in our own country.

Speaker 180 So it's tough for me to say, you know, I don't know that I know enough about that topic to truly speak on it.

Speaker 180 and

Speaker 180 I think that

Speaker 180 there's good and bad with everything.

Speaker 118 Okay.

Speaker 65 And,

Speaker 180 you know,

Speaker 180 it's tricky. So, you know, God bless America.
God bless everyone.

Speaker 180 Okay.

Speaker 29 Great answer.

Speaker 82 Good answer.

Speaker 49 And Blake Borough,

Speaker 116 same question to you.

Speaker 17 Where do you stand on the Saudi Public Investment Fund and Mohammed bin Salman?

Speaker 179 I think that was well well said, Blake, and I couldn't agree more.

Speaker 143 All right, you guys, Ty

Speaker 11 one to one.

Speaker 10 Good to answer.

Speaker 17 This is Ty.

Speaker 17 Next question.

Speaker 17 This goes to Blake Bortles. Blake Bortles,

Speaker 17 how many people has Matthew Broderick killed?

Speaker 103 Is it A, none, B, one,

Speaker 139 C, two,

Speaker 72 D, all the above?

Speaker 179 I'm going to be honest. I don't even know who Matthew Broderick is.

Speaker 124 Oh, wow.

Speaker 48 Ferris Bueller.

Speaker 23 Ferris Bueller.

Speaker 46 Okay.

Speaker 179 Well, in that case, I think I'd say

Speaker 179 C2.

Speaker 118 Yes, he interrupted it.

Speaker 10 He got it. He got it.

Speaker 21 Wow. Holy shit.

Speaker 4 He has killed two people.

Speaker 157 People forget that.

Speaker 64 Wow. What an answer.

Speaker 40 In a car accident in England in like the 80s.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 95 Well, yeah.

Speaker 63 All right.

Speaker 17 Blake Griffin, next question for you.

Speaker 17 What is the difference between a sea lion and a seal? Is it A the nose? B the ears.

Speaker 86 C, the penis.

Speaker 139 D,

Speaker 134 all the above.

Speaker 46 Um.

Speaker 181 Can you read those again for me?

Speaker 17 The nose,

Speaker 17 the ears,

Speaker 159 or the penis?

Speaker 180 I'd say the, well, not the nose.

Speaker 180 I'd say the ears.

Speaker 124 Yeah!

Speaker 162 Got it.

Speaker 125 That's a fun fact.

Speaker 17 Sea lions have external ears. Seals have internal ears.

Speaker 132 Wow.

Speaker 46 Yeah.

Speaker 19 2-2.

Speaker 17 Wow, this is crazy. This is crazy.

Speaker 53 Okay.

Speaker 17 Next question.

Speaker 18 This is crazy.

Speaker 34 This is crazy.

Speaker 17 Next question.

Speaker 139 Blake Griffin, complete the lyric.

Speaker 17 Yes. Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis.

Speaker 17 But it's just the

Speaker 180 Christ,

Speaker 180 I, and it's just the Christ.

Speaker 96 Yes, yeah,

Speaker 123 calling me.

Speaker 158 Yes,

Speaker 10 Yes, you nailed it.

Speaker 139 All right, Blake Bortles.

Speaker 17 Blake Bortles, your chance to respond. Complete this Drake lyric.
You got to be nice for what to these

Speaker 65 when I get three words.

Speaker 162 Complete the lyric, Blake.

Speaker 17 Okay, that one was a joke.

Speaker 19 That one was a joke.

Speaker 17 I won't make you say that one. We're tied 2-2 still.

Speaker 4 No, no, it's 3-2.

Speaker 168 No, no,

Speaker 132 Blake's whole thing was just a setup to get Blake.

Speaker 49 All right, so it's 3-3.

Speaker 35 3-3. It's 3-3.

Speaker 159 I'm going to give, you know what?

Speaker 17 We're going to give Blake Bortles credit for the correct answer.

Speaker 100 Yeah.

Speaker 86 Because you could see he knew, but

Speaker 17 he didn't want to act like he knew. Yeah, but you knew.
Because, like, is it racist? No, I don't know.

Speaker 103 Yeah.

Speaker 101 3-3.

Speaker 17 So we're going to go to a tiebreaker here. Wow.

Speaker 17 Blake Bortles, name every team that blake griffin has played for in the nba

Speaker 179 can i get a total

Speaker 149 yeah give him a total yeah total sure

Speaker 29 three total number yeah yeah

Speaker 180 three uh three three

Speaker 181 clippers

Speaker 181 yep nets yep

Speaker 117 He's trying to forget this as well, so it's fine.

Speaker 179 This was a one-year stint, the one I'm missing?

Speaker 180 No, no, no, multiple, multiple years.

Speaker 123 Do I answer these?

Speaker 69 No, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 180 No, I know I don't answer them.

Speaker 179 And

Speaker 86 you got it.

Speaker 180 Is there a time limit?

Speaker 21 No, he has literally forever.

Speaker 136 We did the ping pong balls last year, so

Speaker 181 half under pace.

Speaker 179 I'm struggling. I don't know.
I'm going to guess and say the Suns.

Speaker 29 Good guess. What was it?

Speaker 17 You give off Suns energy.

Speaker 132 It's the Pistons.

Speaker 23 It's the Pistons.

Speaker 179 Blake, I'm sorry. I knew that.

Speaker 29 Yeah, Detroit Pistons.

Speaker 123 I'm sorry, buddy.

Speaker 95 Yeah.

Speaker 120 No way.

Speaker 46 No.

Speaker 17 I mean, Blake might be on the Suns. He might be part of that KD trade package that he wants.

Speaker 29 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 15 Never know. That's true.

Speaker 27 I think we should give him a point for each one.

Speaker 48 So it's five to three Blake Bordles.

Speaker 17 Well, here's what we'll do.

Speaker 17 Because what I'll say is that Blake Bortles' career, he's played for twice as many teams as you have, Blake Griffin. So

Speaker 17 we can just reduce the fraction and say that you can tie Blake on this answer if you get four of the six teams that Blake Bortles has played for.

Speaker 56 And if you get all of them, or five out of six, you're the winner.

Speaker 180 Five out of six, I win.

Speaker 58 Yeah.

Speaker 46 Okay. So

Speaker 181 five teams.

Speaker 29 What'd you say?

Speaker 29 He's only played for five teams.

Speaker 17 Oh, yeah. You played for one of them twice.

Speaker 105 Okay.

Speaker 29 All right. So five teams.

Speaker 180 I know that one.

Speaker 23 That was a test.

Speaker 180 We got Jacksonville.

Speaker 75 Yep.

Speaker 180 We got the LA Rams twice.

Speaker 53 Yep.

Speaker 180 We got the Green Bay Packers. This was right around the time we were doing the Blake of the Year last year.
Yep.

Speaker 180 And, well, I mean, PFT kind of gave this away. Saints.

Speaker 137 Yep.

Speaker 180 And I believe we had a stint in.

Speaker 82 I'll give you a hint.

Speaker 15 He gave everyone.

Speaker 2 No, no, it's a hint. He gave everyone COVID.

Speaker 65 Denver.

Speaker 64 Denver.

Speaker 126 Congratulations to Blake Griffin for winning Blake of the Year trivia.

Speaker 73 This is tails.

Speaker 89 This is heads official quarter.

Speaker 88 It is a

Speaker 45 official quarter.

Speaker 79 I don't know what year it is.

Speaker 10 2013.

Speaker 74 Oh, oh my god, I pulled this off my I pulled this off my desk randomly.

Speaker 66 What does that quarter say?

Speaker 17 This quarter says

Speaker 29 Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 64 Wow. It's a Mount Rushmore corner.

Speaker 77 It's a Mount Rushmore corner.

Speaker 65 That is perfect.

Speaker 72 That's beautiful. All right, here we go.

Speaker 3 That meant nothing to you guys.

Speaker 68 All right.

Speaker 56 It meant a lot to us.

Speaker 47 Here we go. He is called Tails.

Speaker 164 This is for Blake of the Year 2022.

Speaker 63 It is Tails. Wow, congratulations, Blake.

Speaker 64 Stiffen has won 2022 Blake of the Year.

Speaker 132 What it calls Tails never fails.

Speaker 149 Wow.

Speaker 52 He's emotional.

Speaker 115 He's emotional, folks.

Speaker 157 First, let's hear from the loser.

Speaker 48 Let's let Blake Griffin catch his breath here.

Speaker 174 Blake Portals, a one-year stint as Blake of the Year.

Speaker 111 What are you going?

Speaker 61 What are you thinking about right now?

Speaker 179 It hurts, I think, most importantly, but at the end of the day, Blake's a valiant competitor.

Speaker 179 He put a lot of hard work and time and energy into this, and I don't think there's anybody else I'd rather see win this award than him.

Speaker 29 Wow.

Speaker 82 What a classy guy.

Speaker 63 Well said.

Speaker 156 Blake, our winner, our Blake of the Year.

Speaker 73 He's won now, I think he's officially a dynasty, three out of the last four years.

Speaker 31 That's right. Yeah.

Speaker 157 So, Blake Griffin, how are you feeling?

Speaker 180 I mean, honestly,

Speaker 180 hats off to Blake.

Speaker 180 A lot of people don't want to remember the Pistons,

Speaker 180 my stint on the Pistons, and that being his downfall,

Speaker 180 you know, doesn't seem fair. He's a great guy, great competitor.
And like you said, it's always fun to go against a Blake.

Speaker 180 With that being said,

Speaker 180 you know, hopefully this is the beginning of

Speaker 180 a new journey, you know, a new chapter.

Speaker 180 It's always

Speaker 180 a big thrill.

Speaker 180 I needed this.

Speaker 64 I needed this.

Speaker 180 I'm just, I'm thrilled, man. I almost switched to heads after you said it was a Mount Rushmore quarter.

Speaker 180 And I'm glad I stuck with my original choice. Shout out.

Speaker 180 You know, always sticking with your gut.

Speaker 29 Thank you, guys.

Speaker 180 Thank you to the

Speaker 57 AWLs as well.

Speaker 65 Yeah, there it is, sir.

Speaker 17 I just want to say, I'm going to get ahead of this.

Speaker 17 All the people out there, because I'm sure there'll be a few, say this was, it was a Mickey Mouse Blake of the year because you're only competing against Blake Bordles in this one and not Blake Kepka.

Speaker 17 I remind you you that I believe for the first two Blake of the years, these are the original Blakes. Yes.
So don't bring that Mickey Mouse shit to this.

Speaker 180 Yeah, and also shout out Liv for taking away a competitor and upping my chances by 17%.

Speaker 56 Yes, that's true.

Speaker 33 Last question for you, Blake Griffin.

Speaker 156 So you've won the Blake of the Year.

Speaker 54 What do you think this is going to mean for next season?

Speaker 4 You think maybe Steve Nash actually plays you or what?

Speaker 180 I don't know that he's a

Speaker 180 AWL, so I don't know that this helps my case though,

Speaker 180 but I'll be in conversation if I do end up back there, but you know, free agency, so who knows, who knows Ruby?

Speaker 71 That's true. That is true.

Speaker 108 Okay, so I mean, we're hoping that it's a big year for both Blakes.

Speaker 2 Again, thank you to both of you guys.

Speaker 4 Our favorite award to give out at the Takies.

Speaker 155 Blake Griffin, I expect you to, you know, be the best Blake that you can be for the next year because this is important.

Speaker 61 People will see you and they'll be like, there goes Blake of the Year.

Speaker 68 That's a heavy crown you're wearing now.

Speaker 180 Yeah, honestly, one of my favorite things to hear from people,

Speaker 180 just walking down the street, people shout out Blake of the Year. And that's the thing I always turn around and give a fist pump.

Speaker 180 People could say anything and I might, you know. I might not hear it, but you hear those words, Blake of the Year, and

Speaker 180 you know you got a

Speaker 180 quality person on your hand.

Speaker 29 Yes, that's a fact.

Speaker 17 I love that. You're a great ambassador for Blakeness, so thank you.

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 34 All right, fellas, thank you so much. We appreciate it.
And yeah, next year should be interesting when we have a three-man race again.

Speaker 55 I can't wait to get on that live plane.

Speaker 180 Oh, dude, that's going to be sweet.

Speaker 123 Thanks,

Speaker 180 thanks to Blake, by the way, to agreeing to that.

Speaker 123 Has he agreed yet?

Speaker 86 Yeah, oh, yeah, no, he'll agree.

Speaker 17 He's officially agreed.

Speaker 149 Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 157 All right. Thank you, guys.

Speaker 180 Amazing.

Speaker 179 See you guys.

Speaker 19 Thank you, guys.

Speaker 157 Okay, that's the takeies.

Speaker 1 Good job, everyone.

Speaker 18 How about that? Yeah.

Speaker 17 Blake Griffin returns. The dynasty's back.

Speaker 130 Yep.

Speaker 17 And that means also

Speaker 17 pay attention to the start of the next show because there might be a different intro.

Speaker 133 Yes, yes.

Speaker 108 We don't have any more awards, right?

Speaker 17 Nope. Love you guys.
Bill, you got an animal fact?

Speaker 87 Chocolate cows give chocolate milk.

Speaker 33 Jake, is that all the awards?

Speaker 29 I believe there's one more.

Speaker 137 Oh, what would that be?

Speaker 78 That would be listeners of the year.

Speaker 120 Oh,

Speaker 17 podcast listeners.

Speaker 12 Jake, why don't you intro this one with the nominees and we'll sit back and see who might win.

Speaker 78 All right, we have four nominees for this final award of 2022. First up, the six-time defending champion award-winning listeners from Pardon My Take.

Speaker 17 I think they're bad for podcasts. Wow.

Speaker 17 Too dominant.

Speaker 78 We'll see if they can keep the streak alive. Next, we have Aaron Rodgers, a listener of the Joe Rogan podcast.
Nice.

Speaker 29 Probably, yes. Nice.

Speaker 79 Next,

Speaker 72 The Bodega Hive.

Speaker 29 Oh. Oh.

Speaker 17 Actually.

Speaker 58 Yeah.

Speaker 81 When did we do this?

Speaker 1 We put this together a couple months ago.

Speaker 17 Yeah, we did.

Speaker 19 All right, well, all right.

Speaker 64 We made one mistake.

Speaker 67 We made one mistake. One mistake.

Speaker 78 And lastly, we have the Comeboys.

Speaker 149 Oh. Oh.

Speaker 29 Oh, shit.

Speaker 148 Shit.

Speaker 11 Stop. Okay.

Speaker 78 So it was an alcoholic.

Speaker 17 Does that nominee convey to the Friedland podcast?

Speaker 31 I think it's over.

Speaker 66 I think so it's just us

Speaker 154 the AWLs versus Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 29 That's it. Should we flip a coin?

Speaker 58 Yeah. Flip a coin.

Speaker 70 What do they get?

Speaker 64 Heads or tails?

Speaker 29 We shouldn't do it. This would be devastating.
We should actually do this.

Speaker 96 We should actually do this.

Speaker 96 Oh, my God.

Speaker 95 Holy fuck. I'm freaking out.

Speaker 66 Okay, so

Speaker 49 what's heads and what do we give the AWLs tails?

Speaker 31 We preached him.

Speaker 35 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 68 It just won for Blake.

Speaker 17 I'm going to look up right now. Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 78 I made you dislike Aaron Rodgers even more. Now we have a reason.

Speaker 49 If he wins this, if he steals this from our AWLs,

Speaker 17 well, I mean, there were four nominees, now there are two. It's kind of like a playoff.

Speaker 64 Yeah, he probably won't win.

Speaker 29 No, you have a spin.

Speaker 78 If Aaron Rodgers wins, Mickey Mouse.

Speaker 11 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 53 I don't know.

Speaker 117 Yeah, I think we should actually do it.

Speaker 64 Yeah, I think so too.

Speaker 94 I think we should actually do it.

Speaker 165 Let's actually make them earn.

Speaker 19 This is actually okay. You fucked yourself up.

Speaker 34 All right, so full transparency.

Speaker 2 This was not planned, and we were going to give it to the AWLs.

Speaker 137 But now I think we have to do this.

Speaker 134 Yeah.

Speaker 29 We have to earn it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this will be their greatest test.

Speaker 17 You remember when Aaron Rodgers called Tails twice in a row? And like the first time the coin didn't flip, it landed on Tails and they had to do it again? Yeah. That was awesome.

Speaker 29 All right. So

Speaker 57 who's going to

Speaker 63 see it? We're going to call it Tails for the AWLs.

Speaker 23 IPO with the phone?

Speaker 29 Yeah, I can predict the phone. The proof of the coin.
Right here.

Speaker 22 Or here, come stand over here so PFT can see it with me.

Speaker 17 Yeah, I want to witness this.

Speaker 167 Oh, my God.

Speaker 87 I think a loss would actually be good for that.

Speaker 29 Oh, Billy.

Speaker 29 Jesus Christ. All right, suspension, dude.

Speaker 17 It's Aaron Rodgers and Billy Football as Joe Rogan podcast.

Speaker 178 I think a loss would be good because then

Speaker 72 they won't take it for the next one. I'm nervous.
I'm very nervous.

Speaker 57 Okay. I disagree wholeheartedly.

Speaker 12 All right, but you agree with the coin flip?

Speaker 67 Yes.

Speaker 58 Yeah. It's got this.
All right.

Speaker 154 So it's tails for the AWLs.

Speaker 54 I'm going to flip it.

Speaker 150 I'm going to catch it.

Speaker 29 Hopefully, I'm going to flop it.

Speaker 84 I'm going to flip it actually right. Oh, my God.

Speaker 70 I'll flip it right on the

Speaker 36 table.

Speaker 22 All right, so I won't even put it on my hand. Okay, just

Speaker 52 gonna slap it on the table. Okay, all right.
All right.

Speaker 52 Oh, God.

Speaker 150 Oh, shit. Wait, wait.

Speaker 17 AWOs have tails.

Speaker 148 AWLs have tails. Okay.

Speaker 87 Oh, Jesus.

Speaker 87 Oh, God.

Speaker 87 It's there.

Speaker 87 It's down. Oh, no.
Yes. Yes.

Speaker 87 Fuck you.

Speaker 96 That's all. Oh, my God.
That was electric.

Speaker 95 Oh, my God. That was

Speaker 10 seven-time championship.

Speaker 29 Seven. Wow.

Speaker 4 Award-winning listeners.

Speaker 34 Hang that bear. That was the hardest fought one you've ever had because it literally was up to chance.

Speaker 17 That's got to be the worst loss of Aaron Rodgers' career.

Speaker 101 Oh my God.

Speaker 20 We need to immortalize this coin.

Speaker 151 We should frame it on the tails.

Speaker 111 Holy fuck.

Speaker 17 Tails doesn't fail, baby.

Speaker 49 Thank you to everyone listening.

Speaker 16 This is the best job ever.

Speaker 41 You know that.

Speaker 31 But fuck, man.

Speaker 17 I say that.

Speaker 57 Memes has texted. He's not listening.
He just heard the screams. He goes, Hank got the ball.

Speaker 24 Like I said, this wasn't planned.

Speaker 17 I say it at the end of every episode, most episodes.

Speaker 17 I do love you guys. We all love you guys.
Thank you very much for the time. We know that you have a lot of other choices.
Thank you for listening to Pardon My Take. Seven years in a row.

Speaker 106 Seven years.

Speaker 17 I'm very humbled by this. I love it.
I love saying how humbled you are. When you're receiving an award.
Yeah. You should be humbled.

Speaker 17 The AWLs should be very humbled by being crowned seven-time champion.

Speaker 7 It's, I mean,

Speaker 116 we say it all the time, but like, it is the truth, and we do love doing this show.

Speaker 22 And, you know,

Speaker 117 doing this for, what, seven years now is fucking crazy.

Speaker 22 You know, not every show is the best.

Speaker 129 There's been ups and downs, but we love doing it.

Speaker 54 We love everyone who listens and interacts with us.

Speaker 153 And holy fuck, you guys beat Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 115 I love you even more now.

Speaker 141 But I don't know how I could love the AWLs more. You just beat Aaron Rodgers.
Yeah.

Speaker 72 I never beat Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 17 The only thing is, like, if they had lost that, oh, I would have been devising.

Speaker 27 Well, yeah, I would have just tweeted the PlayStation tweet right now, and everyone would be like, wait, did he actually get hacked?

Speaker 2 Because it's like the middle of the day on a Thursday.

Speaker 17 Also, if they had lost it, everybody would hate Aaron Rodgers along with you.

Speaker 29 Yeah, but people's days would have been ruined. Yeah, years ruined.

Speaker 137 You heard what happened to Blake Griffin.

Speaker 29 He didn't change all of their bios. Yeah.

Speaker 78 Loyal AWLs have six AWS

Speaker 29 and one.

Speaker 31 Seven in a row is insane.

Speaker 77 Oh, my God.

Speaker 74 All right, numbers.

Speaker 145 Hank, no pressure, but if you did get the number here, that would be the most electric episode we've ever done.

Speaker 148 20.

Speaker 29 20?

Speaker 10 No, seven. Yeah, I was going to say, why not seven?

Speaker 57 Six. 69.
If it's 20 odd.

Speaker 78 26.

Speaker 56 Make sure it's plugged in. All right, I'll go 27.

Speaker 17 91.

Speaker 11 They could have actually lost. No, no, no.

Speaker 172 81. 81.

Speaker 130 They could have lost. I know.

Speaker 17 That was like the first time.

Speaker 37 I also thought the flip was bad.

Speaker 74 I was like, oh, no, that didn't flip very much.

Speaker 146 Oh, 12.

Speaker 149 Ariel. That's so close.

Speaker 95 That's Ariel.

Speaker 65 God damn it.

Speaker 95 Motherfucker, he's fighting back.

Speaker 29 All right.

Speaker 10 See everyone on Friday.
