And the New York Rangers are one game away from the Stanley Cup Final. Let's go.
Congratulations, New York. Now we are taping this about four hours before the game starts.
Yeah, Hank just shook his head. Was that mean? I just got vibes.
I got vibes right now coming from the New York Rangers. They feel like the team of destiny.
They got the hottest goaltender on the planet. They need to get things done in six games or less or or else they're going to be going up against Justin Bieber, who has a concert scheduled for MSG on the night of Game 7.
And something's got to give. I actually take it back.
I'm shaking my head. Because I think one of the Rangers fans in here was telling me that the Rangers and Celtics basically win and lose consecutively.
Oh, so far in these playoffs. Yeah, if the Rangers win, or at least recently, maybe the last series or two.
So if the Rangers win, that means the Celtics will win. No, but the last Rangers loss was the last Celtics loss.
A week and a half it happened, yeah. But that's like five or six games.
So if you're a Rangers fan and you lost this game, sorry, because that sucks to start the show with that but we do think they're gonna win i think they're gonna win they won i the crazy thing is and this kind of goes against like what i what i've been thinking and my whole logic behind putting that future on the rangers but i think biz nasty talked me into considering the rangers as being like a team that will get outplayed all the time yet still somehow find a way to win i I kind of like those are fun-ass teams to root for. Yeah, they are.
They could have won on Sunday, even though they just got the shit kicked out of them. Right, exactly.
I agree. They're the scrappy dog left in the fight.
We do have a final on the other side. The Colorado Avalanche sweep the Edmonton Oilers.
They're in the Stanley Cup final. The Cup is not coming home to Canada.
I apologize to all of Canada for not being able to do that. But maybe you did one better, though.
Maybe you brought a title back to New York. Yeah, well, or I gave them wit in exchange because he got stuck in Canada for an entire, like, three days, it felt like.
That's tough. Yeah.
He's like the guy from the Terminal, Tom Hanks. Yes, the late Terminal.
He became a national Canadian news story. Right.
No, Ryan Whitney is our Brittany Griner. Yes, exactly.
Free him. Free Ryan.
It also brings up the worst stat in sports if you're a hockey fan, Canadian hockey fan. The America has won a Gray Cup more recently than Canada has won a Stanley Cup.
Sorry. We had the Baltimore Stallions in 1995.
We don't have a team in the CFL anymore. We haven't had a team in the CFL for 25 plus years, but that's a crazy stat.
The Canada, the last cup they won, I think it was 93 Montreal,

the 95 Baltimore Stallions won a great cup more recently

than they did win a Stanley Cup.

And the Raptors and the Blue Jays, MLB and NBA.

Right.

Yeah.

Right.

That's tough.

Right.

We were more saying like America's stealing Canada's thing.

Yeah.

We basically kidnapped the Stanley Cup.

Right. And it's just been down here.
They're well within their rights to start a war. It's not Canada's thing.
Yeah. We basically kidnapped the Stanley Cup.
Right. And it's just been down here.
They're well within their rights to start a war. It's not a Canada's thing, though.
Canada's thing would be hockey or NBA or MLB, because that's what they've won more recently. No, but I mean, like, the Stanley Cup, that belongs to Canada.
And we just win it every year. It's tough.
We got your leader. Yeah.
I am the captain now. Yeah.
Billy, what were you going to say?

Nothing.

I was going to say lacrosse is also a Canadian national sport.

Okay, very good. Billy, why don't we do this right now?

How was your trip to Albany?

Because we haven't seen you since then.

I actually, do you know what happened?

Billy was out on Sunday.

He had something else.

We already had known about it.

But we were texting on the group text about dinner.

And I realized after about a half hour i was like wait oh yeah billy's not here today because why has he not chimed in it was very odd like i noticed you gone by the fact that your absence in the group chat for dinner was the first moment i was like where's billy i appreciate that yeah you're that's where your voice is always heard you were we were deciding like where are we gonna eat and we didn't get any text we didn't have anybody give our game ball to yeah someone's gotta be decisive yeah yeah all right so how was it it was great i mean jake and i had an awesome time i mean uh lacrosse was something that i was very into in like middle school and early high school and i just saw so many people and saw so much stuff that just like kind of had me a little starstruck there's certain things that like get me a little starstruck and it's like seeing all the players i watched play like in uh some of the like east coast dies which is a youtuber used to teach you how to string your stick and it was just like it was being like disneyland i saw that you strung your own stick you basically you knitted right? It's basically knitted. I knitted, yeah.
How did that work out? Honestly, it was like riding a bike. I strung it up.
It was like I hadn't forgotten. So the netting, it held, the integrity stayed true, and you didn't have any mishaps with your stick at all where you tried to throw a shot that just popped out? I mean, it wasn't perfect.
It could definitely have used some more hold. Is't that throw? I didn't channel it as much as I should have and didn't have enough hold.
Okay. So overall, though, good experience.
Awesome. And you're maybe low-key kind of a pro lacrosse player.
No. I mean, those guys are just like seeing being on the sidelines.
Seeing on the sidelines lacrosse up close, like especially at that level, you can truly see. And this doesn't come through a lot of the old broadcasts with PLL's doing a great job broadcasting it.
The legit violence that occurs during a game. Like guys hitting each other with weapons, stuff that hasn't been seen since like tribal warfare.
Jake, that's very eloquently put, Billy. Jake, can you walk us through the shot heard around the world? Yes.
Jake stepped up. Now, have you ever played lacrosse before? No, I have not.
Ever? I have held a stick. We have a mini water dog stick in here somewhere.
I've held that. You're counting that as your only lacrosse experience prior to this weekend? Yes.
Okay, so you stepped up, and net and he was basically like try to get one past me and was it your first shot i'll be honest it wasn't my first i believe it was my fourth ever shot of a lacrosse goal and what happened i made it and billy couldn't stop it correct and how did billy react to that probably saying like dude i saved nine of 10. But he didn't stop this one.
Correct. It was a sick shot, though.
I'm sure watching the replay of it, you're like, man, that was nice. I think everybody watched that and thought the same thing.
Like, wow, Jake, you are way better than Billy at lacrosse. I mean, the one shot online has me making one and him not even getting a shot off.
It's true. It's very true.
Billy, how mad were you just knowing all the videos and tweets that you were going to receive when Jake made that shot on you, Top Cheddar? I'm getting worse at my job because I don't take the bait anymore. What's that? You didn't take the bait when you responded right away when I tweeted out the video and you're like, that was one of nine times and I saved all the other ones.
Yeah. i just honestly looking back it was such a great time memes and i memes and i were doing one-on-ones you say he's not taking the bait right now taking the bait smart memes and i were doing one-on-ones and just beating the shit out of each other more he was beating the shit out of me with a pole yeah you got mad at memes i didn't get well memes i mean you can even see it now.
It's like the bruise is turning like that yellowish, greenish color. But we were going at it.
It was fun. And at least you shot.
And Duke was there. You threw a shot 100 miles per hour? Yeah.
I mean, I would have broken 100. I need to get back on the radar gun.
But I shot it in 97 after six years of not playing lacrosse, and that was pretty awesome. Yeah.
Okay, so good trip. I'm trying to think what else.
We have game three coming up. In the Avalanche Oilers series, that was the best four-game series that I've ever seen.
Well, the Edmonton Oilers played the best five-game series beforehand. It's crazy how good those games were.
Although the couple of them, one of them, I think game two, the Avalanche killed them. Game one and game four were great.
There were so many exciting games, but unfortunately we only got four games worth out of it. And I think, listen, I was doing some reading on the goalie for the Oilers last night, Mike Smith, who is maybe my new favorite player in the NHL.
Because he sucks, but he's occasionally awesome, but he really sucks.

So he's like if Jameis Winston never really put in training effort.

And I was reading an article about him from Puck Daddy,

and he put it the perfect way.

He said, to watch Smith play is to watch the embodiment of a Reddit comment where every third word is capitalized and misspelled.

Just crazy, crazy watching him play.

Like soft goals, incredible saves,

and I'm just sad that we're going to have to bid this series goodbye like too soon.

I wanted to see more games between these two teams,

and especially to get the analysis of Paul Bissonette with his head shaved.

Unfortunately, they signed off for the season.

And Bissonette asked you with his head shaved next to Wayne Gretzky as he was trying to

give serious hockey analysis.

He was actually doing a pretty good job of it, but I just kept getting distracted by

the fact that his head was completely shaved.

Yeah, no, it was fantastic.

Yeah, I mean, the problem with this series is I never felt like the Oilers ever really

had a chance, which sucked. Like, that's the only part.
The Avalanches are very, very good. They're very exciting.
I like the Edmonton Oilers-Calgary series a little bit more just because it was back and forth more. I think the Avalanche won game 2-4-0, which was a dud, and they won game 3-4-2.
But Monday night was a great game. Overtime.
Anytime there's elimination, overtime. Fantastic.
And the Avalanche looked like the best team. If they don't win it now, that's a big disappointment.
Big disappointment. Huge disappointment.
All right, so we have game three, Celtics. Hank, you're ready to go.
We talked about it a little bit with guys on chicks. We also have the Live Golf Tour, which are we going to be fans of the Live Golf Tour? It feels like the Super League.
I think fan yeah you're a blood money guy i don't get whitewashing it well it's like i don't know i don't know i definitely it's like you know comment to the comments back to that but like there is you know not all sports leagues are are like you know the most stand-up leagues i i'm struggling to true identify one that like beheads people the NBA, this is again a comment of a comment of a comment. Goodell would probably cut somebody's head off.
Yeah, true. This one's probably the worst.
There are people that will point out the business that the NBA does with China is not exactly clean money coming in.

They were talking about oligarchs owning soccer teams and stuff like that. I think those are all fair things to say, but this is just straight up cut and dry.
The kingdom being like, hey, we'll give you more money than you're making now to come play golf over here. I actually think that the outcry wouldn't be that bad against it.
if when Phil Mickelson made his comments back in November,

he wasn't so like cut and dry about what he was getting in bed with. When he was like, yeah, they're bad guys, they're scary guys, they cut guys apart with bone saws and cut gay people's heads off.
But it's an interesting opportunity. If he hadn't spelled out all of his reservations right up front, I feel like people would be more inclined to let more inclined to kind of like let it slide and be like, hey, we understand Phil, you know, Phil spends a lot of money.
Yeah, he needs a lot of money. He needs the money and the $25 million to the winner of the first tournament.
I feel like they should have spent a little bit more money on the graphic design of the teams, which I don't even really understand that there's 12 teams or whatever within this league. Wait, there are? They released teams and team logos, and they're truly the most basic, disgusting logos you've ever seen.
And also, why did they come up with... What is Liv? What is it? Liv Laugh Love? Yeah, I don't understand.
It's kind of weird to be talking about beheadings and stuff and then have the golf league called Liv. Yeah, it's like me thinks the lady doth protest too much.
And I of the i think the nightclub in miami i think of like a weird super bowl it's also very funny that they have ari fleischer as their spokesperson for the tour like if there's if you're looking for a guy that has a history of ignoring violence committed by saudi arabia you could do a lot worse than ari fleischer yeah he's he's out there with his uh bisonette haircut at. He's going to blame the Iraqi tour instead.
Yes. These are the guys that we really need to go after.
So who's playing it? Dustin Johnson, Phil, Kevin Na, Taylor Gooch. Taylor Gooch.
They got the Gooch. Gooch had a quote of just like, I'm dumb.
I just hit ball and hole. Don't ask me about it.
I kind of respect that. It is a strategy.
Like, if you're gonna you gotta either say essentially, the money's too good or, like, I'm so stupid I don't even understand it or you could do the, Phil did the wrong thing where he's like, it's not that big a deal what they're doing. Yeah, I'll give you the players and I'll give you the captains and their team names.
Okay. Okay.
Dustin Johnson, four aces. Now he probably needs a lot of money too for certain things.
Graham McDowell, Niblix. Niblix? Ian Poulter, the Majestics.
Niblix sounds like a terrible like British candy bar. I was going to say like a shitty corn breakfast cereal.
The Majestics but Sticks is S-T-I-C-K-S. Okay.
I don't like that. Kevin Na, Iron Heads.
Okay. That's kind of cool.
Yeah. Louis Oosthausen, Stinger.
Not even Stinger, it's just Stinger. Just Stinger.
Okay. Martin Kamer, the Kleeks.
Kimer, yeah. Kleeks? It's Kymer.
It's K-A-Y. The Kleeks?

Kleeks.

Kleeks.

C-L-E-E-K-S.

I don't know what a Kleek is.

It's a shitty vegetable.

Peter Wichel.

Yeah, nailed that one.

Jake.

I don't even know who you're talking about.

Uline.

The Crushers.

Cool.

That's a cool name.

That's like what I would have named my soccer team when I was eight years old. Yeah, exactly.
Phil Mickelson, the High Flyers, but high is spelled H-Y. Okay.
All right. Sure, go for it.
That's why. Sergio Garcia, Fireballs.
Okay, that's cool. Never win a majors.
Yeah, Fireballs. Siwon Kim, Smash.
Just Smash. Just Smash.
Like that. That's cool, yeah.
Taylor Gooch, Tork. Okay.
I don't know about that Tork And Wade Ormsby Punch I like Punch The logos for these are so bad though I have the reason for the live Roman numeral for 54 Number of holes in each tournament That's why I kept on thinking of the Super Bowl They're doing like a start for most of them too, which is going to be weird because you'll have guys teeing off on par fives or par threes. It's going to be strange.
Where is it on TV? I don't know. Is it on TV? I assume that.
Streaming on YouTube, Facebook, and livegolf.com. I would love to send Billy to be our correspondent for the Live Tour, just because you probably have the highest probability of a journalist being killed covering that tour.
If they paid us a bag, would you guys say no to advertising? Let's talk turkey. Wait, can I get some emojis? That's the whole point.
Everyone's got a price. Exactly.
I will go there if I get all the emojis. I'll sell Billy up the river.

I'll send him over to... Billy would definitely

come back and be like, low-key, these guys are kind of chill.

You guys got a bad...

I think you're misunderstanding what they're doing.

The propaganda would work on Billy.

Actually,

Prince Ben Salmon has

put forth a lot of efforts to

modernize the way that they're doing business

right now. For example, women can drive on certain days of the week.
He invited Ellen over for a dinner. Low-key, he's kind of accepting.
They've got great wrestling events. No, I'm going to be a total sucker for when, like, if I do go there, they're going to go show me all of their, like, exotic animals that they have, like the tigers, lions, bears, falcons.
Alright, well, listen, if we can figure out how to get you there, I would absolutely sign off on that. Bossman Hank? Go cover the Liv.
They got to pay us. Yeah.
Which then becomes, I mean, I guess. No disrespect to Jake.
Because Jake would obviously be much better at covering an event or a sport like this. But also, we don't want you to be killed, Jake.
Yeah, I'll pass this one to Billy. I mean, if Liv was smart, killing Billy would be great publicity.
Absolutely. Because we'd have to talk about it.
Like, we'd have to give them air time. Be like, yeah, they killed Billy.
Yeah, and then we'd probably do like an entire serial podcast where we try to find out who's responsible for Billy's death. Yeah.
It's us. It's us for knowingly syndicative.
It would drive headlines. I'm actually so down to go, like traveling internationally.
Of course. I mean, they probably do like really cool, what's it called? You're already doing it.
They don't even need to waste any time trying to indoctrinate him. He's done.
He's ready to go. I think that they're going to do something that will make the scoring a lot lower.
Because they need to attract eyeballs so they can be like, wow, they're setting records out here. They should make the courses easy.
Make the holes a little bit bigger. Yeah.
But if they play on just a regular course, not like a difficult course, they'll all score very low. Yeah.
I'm telling you, make the holes bigger, though. Yeah.
That'd be sick.

Hank.

My hot seat is umpires.

Okay.

We had the controversy, obviously, last week with PFT and his son's Little League team and him getting kicked out for cussing at an umpire. I mean, also, you're leaving out the fact that he just left the game for about 10 minutes right when it started.
And the cross. And I've never seen this happen before.
Then last night, or two nights ago, in the Maryland game, obviously, the College Baseball World Series is heating up ago in the Maryland game, obviously the college baseball world series is heating up in the Maryland super regional game. Uh, one of the worst calls I've ever seen.
The ump basically called a runner out for basically running into the first baseman, but the first baseman was in his way because it was a bad throw. So the first baseman had to basically go into the runner's way, and they collided.

The umpire called the batter out, and then a run scored at the same time,

and technically he probably scored before the contact happened.

He called the runner out, even though he was just running down the line,

and then he called the person that scored out

because he said it happened before the play

or it happened after the contact happened, which wasn't true.

Maryland ended up losing.

It was a terrible, terrible call.

Brutal, brutal, brutal call, and now their season's over. Can I play devil's advocate here? Can I back the boys in blue? Now you're backing the boys in blue.
Because it was... Different tune a couple summers ago.
This wasn't a high-level Little League game. This was a professional college game, okay? And it comes with higher-level umpires.
And the rule, by the rule, it's not about him running into the first baseman. The rule was that in the final few steps when you're going down the first baseline, you have a specific channel that you have to stay in.
And then you can make the choice to leave that channel or stay in it. He was actually never in that three- that two foot channel and so by the rule it's the right call but it's a shitty rule because anyone that watches that play is like this dude should have been safe at first base he didn't do anything wrong but if you if you want to get into like the screenshot police of it and see exactly where the runner was apparently by the rules of college baseball it was the correct call but it's a shitty call and it's a shitty rule it's a rule that should never exist because it did fuck maryland out of a chance to tie that game michigan got screwed too it's just more more baseball i feel like it's just more uh chances to be upset at the umps and you see the umpire the guy was uh that was what i was gonna say there's two there was a kid that hit a home run he was basically watching the ball go and the umpire got behind him basically like pushed him to keep going yep just kind of kind of crazy crazy stuff in the umpire world just you know and i feel bad for umpires i was literally umpire everyone says there's an umpire shortage going on right now because the dad's like pft but it's called accountability hank i've never seen that called.
Right. I feel bad for umpires, but they're on the hot seat.
These are some crazy calls, and they're getting put in the spotlight. It's not good.
Yeah. My cool throne is gaslighters, cheaters, and liars.
Ooh. iMessage.
Oh, Billy. Billy had that one.
Billy just said yes. Yeah.
Billy's pumped. There was an Apple event, and they were rolling out their new features.
The iMessage app in iOS 16 is getting a new undo send feature as well as the ability to edit chats you've already sent, and mark threads is unread. So RIP to all the young people out there who are going to be getting gaslit or say, like, I never said that or edit things.
That could have saved you if only that feature had come out i know a couple months ago i know i 45 day one the could have been never existed the feature is good but it's also going to drive everyone insane it's like whenever you go good well because why would you undo send anything i mean pft sent uh oh yeah last night by accident to peggy that was very weird well it was to everybody right but peggy was included But if we saw that and you undue sent it, I don't know what that... That's what I'm saying.
So it's similar to... I'm just going to screenshot everything now.
When someone tags you in an Instagram reel and then deletes it, and then you go... Or like a story and deletes it, and then you see that they tagged you but then deleted it, it drives you insane.
Right. That's what it's going to be now.
It's going gonna suck so it's good for the the specific chance that you might send something bad it's bad for every other instance yeah i would have loved to have had that last night it's a weird text it's a weird text yeah want to read it can we read it yeah we'll read it we'll read it so it's kind of misogynistic well no because okay all right so'm going to say that. So I'll give you the history behind the text because it's not misogynistic.
Wait, can I read it first? Yeah, let me read it. Let me read it.
Yeah, yeah, read it. Read it.
Say you've chased after grosser things than that after a long night at the Parker house. Whoops, wrong text.
Yeah. Okay.
So sounds bad, right? Yeah.

However, Hank, this was because our good friend, Diana Rossini was going on get up in the morning

and greenie texted her the rundown for the show. And occasionally she'll hit me up if she's like,

Hey, can I get a one liner for this? And so I was like, yeah, you should say that to greenie

or you should say a live look at greenie chasing after another show on espn that comes available so i was trying to send her one liners whoops sent it to the wrong text message couldn't be me couldn't be you reverse misogyny reverse misogyny yeah i was making well yeah i guess that was yeah kind of misogynistic but that's but she said it on the air so the joke made the air there we go, beautiful I'm basically a TV writer again for get up it's funny because she only hits me up when she has something that she thinks she wants me to write something that will make Greeny laugh and I only do it because I'm making Greeny laugh by osmosis. Did he laugh? By proximity.
Greeny never laughs at himself. Did he laugh at your joke? Oh, yeah.
I think he did. I think he did.
Okay. Me and Greeny are basically best friends.
So, Cool Throne. That was your Cool Throne.
It was. Yeah.
Thrones? Thrown. Okay.
Oh, just one. Oh, Fathers.
Actually, I had Fathers on my Cool Throne as well. Yeah, yeah.
We have great rollback Father's Day gear. Everyone loves our rollback gear.
My dad loves it. My grandfather loves it.
Got to get them some great polos. And then we also have some merch.
We have some Top Gun merch. So go check it out.
And also new dad hats that I just have releasing that just is very simple. It's got like a dad hat with just a recliner on it a dad hat with uh like a pin a golf hole have you thought about doing a dad hat here with another dad hat oh yeah we got that oh a hat with a hat there you go hat with the hat put a hat on a hat hat with just a football on it hat with just a baseball on it it's just kind of you can just if you're a dad you know that the less words better.
Just wearing a hat that has a little football on it.

It's like, dude, I'm in football mode.

Don't talk to me.

I like that.

Yeah.

All right.

Your hot seat.

Cool.

Okay.

My hot seat is Disney adults.

Oh, there's a post on Reddit that's been going viral.

Am I the asshole for not having catering at my wedding?

So this is, I'm going to read this out loud here.

I'm a 28 year old female and my fiance, male 30, just got married two months ago and we had her dream wedding. Everything was perfect.
And I mean everything. My parents and his parents helped us pay for a great chunk of the wedding.
So we would be debt free. And we are so eternally grateful for that.
The issue arose about a month and a half ago when my aunt started posting on Facebook about how disappointed she was with the whole ordeal and a few guests sided with her. Background, my fiance and I are huge Disney fans and we traveled to Disney World as much as we can throughout the year.
Disney is such an important part, not only to us, but also our marriage. The issue was with our decision to not offer catering services or bar services at our wedding due to routing the money towards having a wedding Minnie and Mickey Mouse appearance at our special day.
The cost to have both Minnie and Mickey for a good chunk of time, 30 minutes, was almost exactly what our parents allotted for a catering budget. So we scheduled an appearance during our first dance and our wedding photos for going serve food though there were plenty of facilities at the venue where people could eat so now her parents and all their family are very very upset with them for electing to choose the money meant for food at the wedding on mickey and minnie mouse and i say it's their wedding well let them do what they want i i also think that if you're a disney adult i thought by the way you were going to uh talk about that clip did you see that clip where the the people tried to get engaged oh yeah and the guy they took the thing away running it was like do it over a year yeah in the middle of the engagement well they had hopped a fence to get there yeah but still like he could have just waited seconds we know if you hop a fence at a park sometimes that you know goes without saying yes yes can end poorly yes um all right so he if you're a disney adult everyone in your family knows that yeah like so what are you gonna you know what i mean like you expect something like this to happen at a disney adult wedding you're already going to a disney wedding everyone should be like hey we, we're not getting cocktail wieners tonight because Mickey and Minnie are showing up.
The only thing I would be disappointed about is their negotiating skills, which is like your entire catering budget only got you 30 minutes with Mickey and Minnie. I think that you can stretch that dollar.
Maybe do, maybe Stagram. Mickey shows up for 30, then Minnie shows up for 30.
That would be smart. Maybe throw in a Pluto.
I feel like there's also a marketing opportunity to go out and buy or make your own Mickey and Minnie costumes and then just send Billy and Jake out to weddings as Mickey and Minnie. Sounds like they're making absolute killing off this.
Well, and also, why wouldn't you just buy the costumes yourself? Because you're probably going to want to fuck in them anyway that's a good point too you they should have already had these costumes on deck correct is the entire issue um but yes i would be disappointed if i was a guest at the wedding but i would probably i'd probably just leave early yes anyways if that yes my cool throne is the wave because the wave came back last night where at the edmonton game and the wave came back and then they Where? At the Edmonton game.

And the Wave came back, and then they ended up losing the game just like the Capitals did,

which is disappointing for Canadian hockey fans

to participate in that type of behavior during the big game.

Very disappointing, yes.

I would not have expected that,

but I guess the cool throne is the curse of the Wave.

Yes.

It's still here.

So in the playoffs, again, in the regular season,

wave all you want. In the playoffs in the third period, maybe cool it on the wave yeah yeah i'd say so that's probably not the best time to do the wave uh my hot seat is uh leonard furnette and deshaun watson because we got bad angle pictures going around uh deshaun watson i don't know if you saw but mike florio our our uncle slash father mike florio tweeted out a picture of deshaun watson he's got looks what looks like a very small penis and then um leonard fournette looks very fat everyone's giving him the eddie lacy treatment he's tweeting a nude i don't think no it was him in his uh in a massage parlor no it was him in his his his pants his browns pants um leonard fournette looks uh great i i don't know why people are going after him.
He's our colleague, Barstool Lenny, but he does maybe a little chunky. Do you see the Deshaun Watson? I saw the Leonard Fournette.
I haven't seen it. Oh, I'm looking at the Deshaun now.
Yeah. I feel like Florida did that on purpose.
He's got athlete dick. Yeah, right.
No, he does. He's playing a sport.
Sometimes it turtles a little bit. Yeah, all the blood goes to your muscles and not to your penis and also he probably just got done being jacked off somewhere so he probably has a small little dick at the time uh i did see there's there's a new accusation against deshaun i i'm about ready to say like i've seen enough and that i i feel like deshaun watson should not be allowed to play this's tough because— Until they figure out what's going to happen with the civil suits, because this is now 24 women with strikingly similar details about what's happening.
And at the very least, if you've listened to his lawyer recently, his lawyer has kind of pivoted to being like, yeah, listen, Deshaun likes to get massages and who amongst us has not gotten a happy ending. So how can we, how can we judge the consensual agreement between Deshaun and the massage therapist, which is a far cry from being like Deshaun was just getting massages.
I don't know, man. I feel like, I feel like Deshaun Watson, he's, uh, the, the stats are piling up against him.
Yeah.

No, it's definitely the pivot that the lawyer has made where it's like,

yeah, happy endings aren't illegal.

Like, wait, what?

It's like you were telling me that this was just about body maintenance a second ago.

Yeah.

So they're slowly just, you know, they're changing the goalposts on us.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Surely.

I don't know what's going to happen this year,

but I feel like Goodell is about to make a decision soon, right?

Yeah.

Or whoever his high counsel is right now.

Well, and that's Baker playing for the Browns would be very interesting.

It would be.

Yeah.

My cool throne is college football just because I'm officially now ready

for college football.

It happens right around now.

I think people probably saw I tweeted.

I'll tweet.

I can't wait for college football.

That's when a college football thought pops in my head.

And this is right around where it's like I'll just daydream and be like, I can't wait for a Saturday college football that's when I when a college football thought pops in my head and this is right around where it's like I'll just daydream and be like I can't wait for a Saturday college football and then I'll just tweet it so you'll probably see those every now and then pick up but god damn it I can't wait for college football and the NFL but college football obviously starts a week earlier so it always feels a little more attainable you know what I mean yeah so I was talking to people the other day and they were like, who do you think is going to be the top four going into the preseason next year? Just off the top of my head, Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson. Clemson will be back.
And what? We want to say... Well, USC's putting together something.
So we might have a new team in there. no, USC, I don't think USC will be there just yet, but they've gotten a lot of transfers.
Yeah, Georgia, they've gotten a lot of transfers and they've gotten some talent and like, I don't know, there's a lot of buzz right now. I am theoretically excited about college football, but I got a little bit less excited when I did my top four and it was Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, and Clemson again.
yeah i don't even care about that i just want to watch fucking i want to watch purdue versus northwestern on a saturday morning you know noon that's all that's all i want i could just die with that billy hot seat cool throat my hot seat is mile bridges of the hornets he posted on his instagram story some dirty soda in the styrofoam and a blunt so So he claims it was pink lemonade, but it was very obviously probably some sort of scissor. How do you know that? Because why would you put in a styrofoam cup? Sometimes, I don't know.
Sometimes you go to a gas station. That's all they got.
He also tweeted a couple days ago, I got emotions I'm trying to suppress. Coincidentally.
And didn't he tweet something out last night trying to clarify it? Wait, so rappers rap about lean all the time. That is true.
Macklemore got addicted to lean. A lot of rappers have got addicted to lean.
He's following in Macklemore's footsteps, it sounds like. Macklemore is your example? Yeah, no, this is- No, he's right.

He's right.

Little Wayne?

No, no, Macklemore.

Billy's like, hit rapper, Macklemore.

He rapped about it in one of his songs.

Yeah, no, Eminem also got really into that sort of thing.

Billy's top five rappers list is actually Will Compton's, but totally unironically.

Macklemore, Eminem.

Macklemore, Ryan Davis. All those guys.
Oh, it's Ryan Davis. Wait, wasn't it Macklemore featuring Ryan? Ryan Lewis.
Ryan Lewis, my mistake. That was a weird relationship.
All right, your cool throne. My cool throne is Aaron Donald.
Aaron Donald got a new contract, $95 million, largest non-quarterback contract in NFL history. I love that he was, like, the whole announcement, like, he's back.
I know that he said he was going to retire, but did anyone ever think he was going to retire? He just won a new contract. Right.
So a couple things. Once again, the Rams are just pretending that the salary cap doesn't exist.
Correct. And then the other thing, when I first saw this, I thought, like, Patrick Mahomes is already kind of underpaid.
Oh, yeah. So he signed that $500 million contract, what, two, three years ago? Yeah, something like that.
And it's crazy to say with a $500 million contract, but if you look at what the other big money being spent around the league is going to right now, it's like, you could very much make the argument that Patrick Mahomes should not have signed that deal I wonder if there will be a quarterback that does like the LeBron type deals where it's like two years max money I can just keep dipping into more and more I guess obviously you know the NFL it's a it's dangerous sport but quarterbacks are protected and there's not I don't know it'd be interesting to see if anyone tried to do that i feel like maybe on a quarterback's second or third big deal they could do that so like if you you know you play out your rookie contract maybe you renegotiate three or four years into it and then you get like another four-year deal on that and then after you already get that money guaranteed then your next one's like a two-year deal yeah then you start hopping around you can rip it up at any time i'm sure my homes will rip it up i mean they've ripped up rogers like a million times so yeah that will probably end up happening but you're right it is it does feel like he's underpaid already especially knowing how good at golf he is he could he could do like a john elway situation yep where he just uses golf as leverage maybe the live tour there was i mean they can't compete with the live tour they can can. Tony Romo should probably renegotiate with CBS and be like, I'll go on the Live Tour.
The Live Tour could honestly, it would probably be worth their while to try to pay Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, or Tony Romo.
Or Tony Romo would play on the tour. Or Danny Woodhead.
Or Danny Woodhead. Let's get Danny Woodhead some Saudi money.
Yes. I would love that.
That's sweet, sweet Saudi money. Alright, Billy, you're done.
Jake. One of my hot seats was the Los Angeles Angels on a 12-game losing streak, and they actually just fired Joe Maddon five minutes ago.
Oh, damn. Yeah.
Breaking moves. Figured I'd throw that out there.
Another hot seat is singing the National Anthem because the new trend is using it with a saw. I don't know if you guys saw this.
The Oakland Athletics had someone play the National Anthem with a saw. Yeah.

I've seen people perform like that on the subways before.

You can actually get some good tone out of a saw.

Interesting.

He's just trying anything to get people to the games.

That's also how the Live Tour will play the National Anthem.

True.

My cool throne is Rasheed Wallace.

LeBron has a new assistant coach.

Excuse me.

Future guest LeBron has a new assistant coach,

and his name is Rasheed Wallace.

Joining the Lakers coaching staff.

I love that.

Yeah.

I'm going to go good move. Yeah.
I think to a certain extent, you want to build your coaching staff with people that are fun to hang out with. And Rasheed Wallace would qualify as that.
Your assistant coaches should definitely be the intermediary where you want to hang out with them, and they also hang out with the head coach. good cop bad yeah right thing right and then i also saw steven a smith got mad at russell westbrook because he went to the introductory press conference for ham the new coach of the lakers and steven a smith was mad at at russ for being at that press conference for like making it about himself somehow i don't know steven a smith is he's grasping a.
He needs a nap. He does.
He needs a nap. He needs to just take a day.
Listen, Stephen A. Smith, if you need me to write some stuff for you for your appearances on Get Up, I'm happy to do so.
He needs a nap. He needs a nap.
Okay, let's get to our appearance with Kentucky Sports Radio. We got some calls.
We got some hot seat talk. Great time with them.
And then on the other side, we'll do some guys on. All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars.
One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's. Only one Reese's peanut butter lovers protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter.

Talk Radio 1080. This is Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Now, here's Matt Jones. Guys are up.
Okay, welcome in. The best day of the year for us.
Yes, we are not Matt Jones. We are the podcast part of my take.
I am Big Cat. I'm here with PFT.
We got our whole crew in the studio. Like legitimately, this is the most fun day that I have at work, I think, for the entire year.
This is our seventh year doing this. Seventh year.
Kentucky Sports Radio takeover. We appreciate it.
Three administrations. Yeah.
Three of the three presidents. Matt Jones is, I don't know why he keeps asking us back.
The people, some people hate us. A lot of people love us.
But we're here today and we're going to do something very, very important for the people of Kentucky. We are the podcast that has hosted once, like PFT said, once a year for six years is our seventh year.
And every year we've pushed to have Coach Calipari on the hot seat. This is the year we officially back our guy call and we take him off the hot seat

and we plead with the state of

Kentucky and the people

of, is it Louisville?

Lexington.

Lexington.

We need to get Coach Cal

a new contract today.

Well, I think, Big Cat, the thing is

we can admit when we're wrong about it today.

So it doesn't matter how dug

in we've been on something.

If the facts change and Thank you. Well, I think, Big Cat, the thing is we can admit when we're wrong about a take.
Yes. Right? So it doesn't matter how dug in we've been on something.

If the facts change and things come to light that are undeniable, we will change our take.

Because we learn.

We evolve.

And Coach Calipari is a guy that I think has earned a lifetime contract.

And they say he has a lifetime contract, but I'm looking at the details.

He's already two years into a 10-year contract right now.

Three.

We'll be right back. earned a lifetime contract and you know they say he has a lifetime contract but I'm looking at the details he's already two years into a 10-year contract right now three three years this is the completion of his third year at the end of three years coach Kyle yeah he needs I think like a double lifetime contract I don't think he's got the security that he needs to be successful as a coach there I think that Brad when you lose Calipari, it's one of those things where he's not comfortable because they essentially threw his family out of town.
Make him the guy. Let him know.
Give him the commitment and say, listen, Coach Sal, I want you to stick around. I want your family to be here.
And give him two lifetime contracts. So I couldn't agree more, PFTft i want to get into the numbers with the people and and people can can call in and discuss this with us it will be our hot button topic of the day how many years so so instead of is coach cal perry on the hot seat it's how many years should we extend him because right now right now coach Cal has seven lame duck years.
You're staring right in the face of it. Seven years where he might.
How can you recruit? How can you recruit when you have seven years left on your contract? Let's get him ten more years on top of that. Let's do some stats, though.
Okay, yeah. I've got a lot of stats for you.
You start. I'll just bounce off with you.
Okay, so first of all, Coach Cal's got his haters out there, but if you look at the actual numbers in 2021, they were the fastest SEC team on average to score 10 points in a game. That's good.
Now tell me this, Big Cat. When you start a half, that's a lot on the coaching and how the coaching staff has you prepared to get out the gate to jump out on them.
That's a fact. So they never called a timeout on the road in the first 15 minutes of any regular season game.
And that's something that you can't say about other teams. No.
So when you talk about Kentucky fans, I actually think Kentucky fans are on the hot seat. Yes.
I think they're on the hot seat. Agreed.
Because it might be said you're not even a basketball school anymore. Yeah, because Coach Calparari is like, he knows what he's doing.
He uses his timeouts well. I also saw a stat.
PFD, this is a stat. Cal, when he uses the timeout, did you see the same stat? I'm pulling it up right now.
That's why I'm filibustering. Yeah, yeah.
No, when he did call a timeout. Yeah, there we go he made it count so kentucky had the highest win percentage when jim calipari was calling these timeouts he had they had the highest win percentage in the sec in games where they called a timeout while trailing that means that when he does use the timeouts he's he's using them effectively i would say that's a a very solid metric in terms of the impact that a coach has on an in-game adjustment.
I absolutely agree. I also have a stat for you.
The best, 10 best starts by winning percentage in coaching college basketball history, and I'm judging starts to your career by the first 29 seasons. Coach Cal Perry, he is ahead of Mike Krzyzewski, who I think everyone said was this legend, the GOAT, whatever you're going to say.
He is literally ahead of him. There's only one other guy active.
No, there's no other guys active that are ahead of him. The list is Adolph Rupp.
You ever heard of him in Kentucky? Yeah, that's right. Your legend, John Wooden, Jerry Tarkanian, Roy Williams, Fogg Allen, Dean Smith, then John Calperi.
All right, we are back. It is part of my take over on Kentucky Sports Radio.
You know, Big Cat, I'm just reading up on the most recent Kentucky news here. And you talk about all class.
John Calperi tweeted out this morning. It's Calpiri.

John Calpiri tweeted out this morning.

Actually, very classy thing.

Very classy thing.

So they just lost Keon.

Keon Brooks, I believe, right?

Keon Brooks Jr.

And so they lost him to Washington.

He just tweeted out, Keon gave his best to our program was loyal improved every year was a great teammate i have great respect for washington and we'll be rooting for them and keon unless we have to play them i don't think that you'll find a classier statement from a coach that's fact that has lost a player to another division one school to the transfer portal than what coach cal is putting out right there and honestly you can't blame the player either washington is a great basketball school spencer hawes pacific northwest is on the up and up i mean you look at the great uh products they put out markel fultz markel fultz isaiah thomas spencer hawes spencer hawes i mean they are they're the new powerhouse right now so it it's no shame in losing a player to the University of Washington.

Agreed.

The purple rain is back.

Yep.

Okay, we're going to go back to the calls.

I think we have Harvey, who we've never actually talked to,

but we've heard is a legendary Kentucky sports radio caller.

Harvey, are you there?

Yeah.

How are you doing, Harvey?

I feel like I'm meeting a hero because we've heard so much about you um how's it going uh it's going good but uh I've been listening and uh I wanted to put this out to all the listeners I've been a fan for the uh Kentucky Wildcats In fact, when I'm 85, okay, I played basketball on a dirt floor. And I go way back to Bill Spivey, Wawa Jones, listening to them on a dry cell battery when there was no electricity, things like that.
But what I wanted to address was Coach Cal. Okay, now listen, I have watched him for years as long as he's been there.
I think that he picks his players by their energy. I'm talking about their aura energy, their spiritual energy.
I think that he reads on this like maybe other people do, and it's like what you call a vibe, a feeling, or energy, and everyone in the universe has that energy and is connected to the universe and i know people might think i'm crazy but it's called your aura or spiritual signature and if you can see it you can tell exactly if a person's going to play good, if he's going to respond well.

I just think that he reads people, and that's how he selects the people that he wants to

play and the ones he wants to sit on the bench.

I agree with you.

Yeah.

I agree with you.

You're not crazy.

You're absolutely right, Harvey.

I'm curious, because you sound like a guy, you understand this type of thing, this type of spirituality. What's your vibe? What's your read on Coach Cal himself? My read on Coach Cal, I've never got to get close enough to him just from seeing him on TV.
But you have to really work on transcendental energy, and I haven't got that close enough to him, but I would read him that he is really concerned more about the individual than their aspect for playing. The playing comes second.
And the first is the individual himself himself and he wants to produce a good individual out of that young person yeah i yeah harvey i couldn't agree more basing you know vibes how the game's gonna go now harvey i've heard a ton about you like i said it's great that you're calling in um i heard you're a bird man you you love birds what's going on in the bird world these days oh i know what you're i know about the crows yeah uh the crows will talk to you they will leave you gifts uh birds here's the whole thing is that uh every person has a. Their voice has a frequency.
And if you can figure out what frequency or what energy you're promoting toward the animal kingdom, plants or anything, you communicate through that frequency. It's not the audible frequency that humans communicate, but it's your feelings, the same thing, your energy feel, your aura.
We're all connected. Yes, I agree.
I agree 100%. That's how human beings, their body language towards dogs, especially, you can walk into a room and create an instant bond with an animal.
They understand things that I think sometimes we get lost in because we try to pay too close attention to the words that are being spoken and not enough to the general energy that's being communicated back and forth. So what's an example of a time that you've interacted with an animal and you've just put your vibe out there and you've befriended it or you've connected with it on a level that you

previously didn't expect that i am uh it's when they actually want something from you like a gift or you're feeding them it's it's you promoting your necessity toward their necessity and they pick up on those vibes or that energy. It's, like I say, we're all connected, and it's what necessity is there at the time that you're promoting yourself to them.
Now, Harvey, as a bird guy, we had someone call in a couple years ago and point out the fact that the Louisville Cardinal has teeth, and birds don't have teeth like that. Does that bother you when you see that, when you see Kentucky play Louisville and you see the Cardinal center court or midfield, and it's got these big old chompers that make no possible sense? That's all, you know, something.
It's all about money and promoting this or promoting that. But when you get down to it, I just look at the spirit of the bird or the individual.
I don't worry about those other unnecessary facts. I just try to pick the truth out of everything.
Yeah. Harvey, as a guy who's also done a lot of drugs, the guy over in Louisville, Rick Pitino, he was very close with Papa John.
Papa John always gave me some bad vibes. What kind of vibes do you get from Papa John? I never eat Papa John's.
I hardly ever eat pizza. I'm just the old beans and potato person myself.
Ooh, beans and potato. I like that.
I like that. That's efficient.
So, so Harvey, how about, let's talk about Kentucky football because the vibes have changed there. Uh, how do you, how do you see the team doing this year and what would you maybe like what what

changed in the last few years to make the you know the boys have a lot of success on the field

well i think the main thing is that uh they're losing the people that the younger players look

up to to follow in their footsteps and try to be as great as they are they're losing all those people

I don't think Kentucky's football is going to be as good this year as it was last year because they've lost a lot of good people, and all these other ones, they don't have any standards to go by. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's interesting.
Harvey, tell me a little bit about growing up playing basketball on the dirt floor. What was different about the game back then? Was it harder to play defense? Was it harder to fall down on? Would it scrape you up? What was that like?

Well, actually, I was raised in an orphan's home, and they couldn't afford a gym. So I think that it made us a lot better playing on a dirt court with a round hoop.
We didn't even have a net. And then when we got invited to play at other schools like hazard or uh caney creek or other different places paintsville uh we excelled because man here we are on a floor that it's responding and the dirt floor wasn't for as forgiving you know if you had a pebble or something down there, you know, well, wow, there goes your ball.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah, no, that's a great point. And I can see it's like, you know, taking practice cuts in baseball with a leaded donut, you step up to the plate, and it's much easier to swing that way.
It's kind of the same thing. Yeah, shooting with no net is very difficult.
Do you think maybe Coach Calpiari should implement some of those rules and have the boys practice on a dirt floor? No net. Maybe no net, and that way when they get into the gym, the game seems a lot easier.
Hey, that might be a good tune to go by. You know, I wouldn't mind talking to Coach Cal sometimes, but he's out in his, I could say Never Neverland, but I'm just old Joe down here in the valley, you know, reading the plants and talking to them, the crows and everything.
But you know what? I know where I'm going and I know what I am. So that's the whole essence of life.
I love you, Harvey. I just want to say, like, I'm in love with you.
You're the man, Harvey. What was the reading the plants? What are you doing, like, day to day? Because, you know, we live in New York City.
We don't get to be around nature very often. So what are you doing on a day to day when you're talking to the crows and reading the plants well i walk by i have a big flower garden i have three gardens i walk by and i can you don't touch them but you use your energy feel like if you're caressing or like rubbing your hand over the back of an animal you don't have to touch them because they have their energy feel.
You have yours. And if you're compatible, which you're already connected by the universe, they feel you.
They communicate with you. Your hands will tingle.
Whenever you do this, you'll get a little tingling feeling, and you will understand and feel that love, that unconditional love that they're giving to you yeah we need to get back out in nature that's all i'm learning do you have a particular plant that you vibe with the best like your best friend of a plant well all plants are friends to me but i like the red clover because it's a blood thinner. It's a good blood.
It constitutes a lot of good factors in your blood, and it grows taller than a lot of things in the pasture, and it stands out. And that's a spiritual signature right there.
These plants that stand out, they're crying out to you look at me look at me I have something to give to you just like all these ladies that are dressing beautiful and all this stuff and you see they're standing there look at me look at me it's all there you just have to read the signs you know yeah well Harvey this has been incredible we really appreciate you calling in do you have anything else you wanted to get off your chest or anything you wanted us to talk about for the rest of the uh the show today no I'd just like to say that uh I think that uh Cal and this team might go might might do better than last year.

And I'd just like to say I'm a veteran.

I'd like to say God bless America.

Love that. Thank you.

God bless America.

God bless you, Harvey.

God bless you.

And I'm putting a future on the Kentucky Wildcats right now

because of the vibe check on Harvey.

That's all I needed to hear.

I love that, Harvey.

So I appreciate it.

Be well, Harvey.

Be well.

I have one last question for you, Harvey. What is your favorite beach in Kentucky? My favorite what? Your favorite Kentucky beach.
I live near Lake Cumberland. If I go down there, I like to go down, sit, and watch, and just watch nature, you know.
Love it. Love it.
Well, thank you, Harvey. We appreciate it.
We're going to take a break, but be well, and hopefully our paths paths cross again yeah uh matt texted me and asked me if i'd call in so i hope that somebody has learned something because if if we're not learning something daily then we're going backwards agreed 100 percent and guess what when kentucky wins the national championship next year it will be because of this call and your vibe check on how they're going to do. So I'm putting the future in.
I'll split the money with you if we win. Okay, that's great.
Alright, thank you. I love y'all's show.
I love this station. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Harvey. Alright, let's take another break.
We'll be back in a minute to finish up Hour 1 of Kentucky Sports Radio. Thank you, Harvey.

Listen, we know how to pronounce names names Levis We've also heard Levis but Levis was what Shannon said So that's what I'm going off of Will how do you pronounce your last name? First question Levis Damn PFT apologize Owned What's up man? It's been I feel like We've needed to have you on the show on Pardon My Take for forever, and this worked out perfectly that you can call into Kentucky Sports Radio. How are you feeling? How's everything going? You're the number one pick in Mel Kuyper's next year's mock draft.
What are the vibes, as we've learned from Harvey? Well, first I've got to say thanks so much for having me, and I've been able to meet and talk to a lot of really, really cool people, but being an AWL and a fan of you guys for so long, I've never been so jacked just to talk to somebody. I actually met Tom Brady, one of my idols, last week, and I'm just as nervous talking to you guys as I was to him, which is kind of funny.
You're doing great, sweetie. Yeah, it's going really, really well right now.
We're all back on campus working out, and it's been good to see the guys and get things going and yeah seeing all the mock drafts is pretty cool as pfg said we know historically that all those are 100 accurate so that's pretty cool to kind of have that kind of in the back pocket now but no i mean it's a lot of cool kind of energy right now and vibes but you kind of just got to put all that outside noise behind you and just focus on the main thing and uh the main thing right now is just working with the dudes. Yeah, I mean, you're totally correct.
Sam Howell, he was ranked No. 1 in the first mock draft that came out.
We all saw how this actual draft went. He was the best quarterback in the entire draft.
He happened to get taken in the fifth round. But, yeah, you're No.
1 right now. And I think it's safe to say that we're throwing our support behind you, Will.
How has your nutrition been going this offseason? Because I've been a fan of yours. It's funny, you say you're nervous talking to us.
I'm nervous talking to you because as a big time mayo boy myself, I like putting mayo in everything. I put mayo in my eggnog.
I put mayo in my mac and cheese. You changed the game though.
You put mayo in your coffee. And I'm curious to know, like, has any, have there been any, um, any pushback on your diet this off season? Are you incorporating mayo into any other meals? Yeah, I've made sure to talk down and sit with my nutrition and make a plan for this off season to how I want to go through with, um, my eating habits.
And we've made sure to kind of find a plan that allows me to have mayo in my diet as frequently as i can while taking sacrifices elsewhere so i can continue with that which is which is really good going to continue to put that on all sandwiches i have and the occasional cup of coffee as well but um i do think it's a it's a staple of where it has gotten to me as far as i have so far with uh with my body and my physical performance so it's worked so far and I'm going to keep doing it. I love that.
Built by Mayo, Will Levis. That's a nice tag for you.
I do think that Mayo gets a bad rap a lot of times. People like to thumb their nose at Mayo and be like, oh, it's the worst condiment, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
I think that Mayo is one of the – if you don't like Mayo on a turkey sandwich, you're a psychopath. Yeah, and it's like people that say that too, it's like isn like all aioli technically mayo too and like all these like fancy people try to say like oh i got this aioli for my side or whatever i'm like dude you're it's fancy mayo like don't call it anything more than what it is like it's it's delicious stuff and people should just accept that yeah that's a matt jones word for mayo it's yeah it's when he's when he's uh in the south of fr summer.
No, mayo is, someone decided online that mayo was bad, and then it just went from there. It's kind of like the same person who decided avocados are the greatest thing online, and then it went from there.
It just starts with one person, and then we get to a point where people are shaming mayo. It's like, mayo on a sandwich is good.
It's undeniably good. It's absolutely good.
If you don't like it, if you want to call us mayo boys, we proudly stand as mayo boys. Undeniably a top three condiment.
So versatile. It's just people against big mayo, but I'm going to stand behind the movement and stay strong with my position on the subject.
Now, what about the bananas? So have you been eating bananas? You went viral for that. I honestly can't tell if you're a psycho or you're really good at trolling the internet, which I guess you could just be both.
But are you still eating bananas with the entire peel on? Yeah, I'd say I'm definitely a little bit of both. Definitely a psycho.
I think anyone close to me can tell you that but um yeah when that all came out it was pretty crazy and um just tell the story real quick and i put on my tiktok a video of me just eating like a completely uh brown banana and just eating it whole peel and all didn't think much of it and then when i when i got the starting job last year i think some fan tried to like troll me on Twitter and was like, this is your starting quarterback? Going and doing this? Nonsense? And it actually backfired and got me a lot more good press than anything, which was pretty funny. Seeing the guys on SEC Network on SEC Game Day or whatever, Feinbaum and Tebow eating bananas with the peels on, it's kind of like, I'm over here.
It's kind of like, what have I done? So it's kind of a crazy little thing that's happened and I definitely from time to time do still eat the bananas with the peel on that makes it even better by the way the fact that it was you weren't like the starting quarterback when you did it you weren't looking for attention I mean you were making a tick tock but you were truly eating the banana and someone found it after the fact damn I'm I'm even more team will Levis now Kentucky's gonna go SEC championship you thinking maybe maybe SEC championship this year that's that's the goal that's that's what our hearts are set on and that's what the um what's been established from day one of the offseason and I mean listening to Harvey uh call in earlier I mean the fans who say that we're not going to be as good as last year that we're lacking the leadership from a senior standpoint, I'm definitely going to be stepping in and making sure that I'm the guy for the team and we definitely have other guys that can do that. But, hey, motivation, especially from our fans who are doubting us, is as much motivation that we can get.
Yeah, I think Harvey, his heart's in the right place, right? So he's just concerned. And I guess if you're Harvey, this is probably – like college sports has got to be very difficult for you having any optimism because every year there's a lot of turnover, so you're going to lose some leadership no matter what.
What steps can you take proactively to comfort people like Harvey to send good vibes out there? What are you doing to increase the vibes of the team? I think everyone just needs to kind of take a chill, Phil, and just let the guys do what we've been doing. Obviously, Coach Stoops, since he's brought the program to where it is, we've been able to bring it to a new level, and we're just trying to increase that standard, and we're coming in every day to making sure that everything that we do is in line with that standard.
So, I mean, it's worked so far, and I think as long as we just kind of keep working the way that we have been, then things are all going to work out. So you guys have been – I mean, Kentucky's had a good couple years here in football.
Just one small, small piece of advice, just from something I gained earlier in this show. Have you considered talking to the grass at all? Just putting the vibes out there? A hundred percent.
And I think that playing on a lot of grass fields, we're turf here at Kentucky, but we practice on grass and I make sure to go out there, do my barefoot walks and get in tune with the the nature and the grass is definitely something that I've been impressed in since I've been to Kentucky you hear about the Kentucky bluegrass and how well everything's been kept and it is it is nice to go out there and kind of talk to the ground and uh and uh make sure that you're in line with uh with your surroundings and I do think that that's something I can implement more into my preparation routine I love it one thing we like to do when we host Kentucky Sports Radio every year is we like to just bash Louisville to ingratiate ourselves with Big Blue Nation. So this year you put up a 50-burger on Louisville.
You had an incredible game. You had four rushing touchdowns, 14 for 18 passing, like pretty much a perfect game.
Like they stink, right? Like we're going to roll over them again next year? Yeah, and it's so funny. I mean, I know you guys like poking fun and trying to get people going with Coach Call and Calpierre and all that.
What are you talking about? Louisville. Yeah, exactly.
But when I first got here, it was just funny when you're talking, like from an outsider's perspective, it's always been Louisville. And it's like the one thing that someone from Louisville will always chomp at the bit at is to wait for a Yankee to come down here and pronounce it Louisville and just to kind of stab you and say, hey, it's Louisville.
And I've kind of taught myself to have that gargle in the back of my throat whenever I'm pronouncing it just to not piss them off. But, yeah, it's a fun fun rivalry and even though I've only been a part of it for this past year we're going to do everything we can to make sure that we have the same result this year as last year yeah so yeah so there you heard it bulletin board material Will Levis is going to kick the I almost swore there but we're on radio kick the s out of Louisville Louisville correct yes Louisville I love it um and so i'm reading about about you here will it says that you're a finance major is that correct that is correct so what i mean what what does that mean for your day-to-day like that sounds like it's uh it's more of a challenging major than a lot of other football players have if they're going to go like an easy route because we've got we you know billy also studied finance billy football i'm sure sure you're familiar with his body of work.
And you saw that negatively impacted his on-the-field performance in college. Are you concerned you're spending too much time in the classroom? Yeah, Billy and I are a lot more similar than I guess I'd have thought of.
I mean, both being quarterbacks and both being finance majors, I call myself the D1 version of Billy. Yes, Willie football, yeah.

But no, I mean, I got my undergrad at Penn State,

got my finance degree in three years,

doing my master's in finance as well here.

And yeah, I mean, just do whatever I can to do well in school,

but don't know, my focus right now is playing ball as long as I can,

but doing whatever I can to make sure that that backup plan is in place.

And in terms of just how I use it in my everyday life, I give my teammates some excellent investing advice. I find the cheapest kind of cryptocurrency I can find and just tell them to buy as much of it as possible.
And it's always worked out except for a couple times and a couple gripes with some teammates at this point. But I'm not a personal financial advisor.
I make that clear to them. So I take all my advice with a grain of salt, but make a couple bucks for some people here and there, the least I can do.
Yeah, hypothetically, and I'm not going to hold you to anything, but just hypothetically, if you were to say one really bad crypto coin that I should buy right now because it's dirt cheap, what would that be? Oh, get back on the Shiba Inu train, man. I mean, it's just last summer.
I think it got some hype earlier this year, but it's always going to come back up. Stocks and crypto only goes up, as we all know.
That's true. You're going to make a lot of money.
You are not a finance professional. Yes.
Hey, it's Ria from Chicks in the Office. It's officially mini-skort season, and Abercrombie has the ones to go out in.
Their Scarlet Mini is a classic. It's one of those skirts that fits the outfit vibe for any plans.
And I'm excited to style their new Sienna skort. It's a little more flirty, and it's perfect for date night.
Make plans to go out in Abercrombie. Shop their newest arrivals in-store and online.
How many years do you think Coach Sal should get extended for? That is the hot topic we've been discussing all show today. So I heard you guys throw out the number, I think it was 18, right? Yeah, 17 years, 10 years on top of his current seven.
Yeah, and I really like the logic too behind being able to recruit those one-year-olds so that they know in 18 years time they're ready to go. But I mean, just being able to see what Coach Cal has done, I think that he deserves the largest contract in college basketball history.
Excuse me. And I think 17 might not even be enough.
I think if we get into the 20s and he's coaching well into his 70s, possibly even 80s, 90s, who knows? I mean, the success can only keep going, and I hope that they can keep them as long as possible.

And I know that there's been some shortcomings in the last couple years in terms of the fan standards. But, hey, if we can get one or two more championships in those next 35, 40 years, I think it could be awesome.
Here's what I think we should do. This is almost like a little human centipede action.
We're going to create a website called extendcal.com. And that's going to basically be promoting the fact that Cal Perry is going to need at least 17 years to do the job at task.
And then what we're going to do is we're going to sign you, Will, to an NIL deal from extendsal.com. And then we're going to pay you to promote the the website and then we just go in a big circle and everyone in big blue nation wins i think we just fix kentucky athletics it fixes the football team it fixes the the basketball team everything i one one slight adjustment i'd like to make to the extend cal train that we've got going on here is you know we keep talking about like lifetime contract that sounds a little morbid.
It's like you can't wait to fire the guy. It's almost like you can't wait until he dies.
Why don't we give him a lifetime and after lifetime contract where he's, you know, ghost Cal is almost the head coach emeritus. Well, it also assumes that Coach Cal Papari is going to die, and we don't know that for a fact um maybe we do that yeah go ahead maybe keep maybe keep it in the family yeah keep it in the family yeah Brad yeah have Brad come in and have that guaranteed and it's just I think if we have the Cal Perry name here in Kentucky for the for the rest of history then things can only go well guys we're brainstorming right now I mean what's what's the buzz in the news? It's the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Why don't we just make the Calpapari's monarch at Kentucky? They should be. So no matter what, it stays in the family name forever, and we keep winning draft picks, the NBA lottery.
We keep doing all these big things that will keep Kentucky relevant. I like this.
I think it's a monarchy. They can start breeding corgis and selling those.
I think that if you're going to select a king of Kentucky, you could do a lot worse than the Calpiari family. Right, exactly.
So, Will, this has been fantastic. We appreciate it.
Best of luck this season. Hopefully we'll see you at some point, and we've got to have you back on before the draft, and we'll be rooting for you, man.
100%. Appreciate you guys.
Thanks so much for having me on. Go Cats.
All right, go Cats. Love it.
You said it. All right, that was your starting quarterback, Will Levis.
Levis. Awesome, dude.
Awesome, awesome, dude. All right, we're going to take one more break.
Sorry, we have a couple more breaks, but let's take a break. When we come back, we'll get back to the phone lines.

Part of my takeover, Kentucky Sports Radio, I think we have on the line one of our favorite callers. We talked to her last year.
Edie, are you there? Hey, sup edie how are you doing i'm doing just fine okay excited to hear you guys again i love it i love it so what's going on in in edie's world do you have any uh any new news or anything that we can catch up on with you um well matt jones doesn't like for me to mention it, but I've been trading NFTs and crypto and stocks. Yeah, how's that been going? Do you have any recommendations? What do you think about the Shiba Inu that Will Levis just gave us? I personally don't hold Shiba Inu, but that's not to say it won't go up.
I don't actually hold lot of crypto most of mine is into nfts which is where i've done pretty good at i love it wait so what hold on why is matt jones trying to silence you an entrepreneur who's making money hand over fist he's a democrat big cat oh is that's going on? Is he the liberal media trying to shut you down? I think he just doesn't understand how NFT concepts. Yeah.
And he gets mad because he says that I'm trying to shield my projects on the phone, on the radio, or whatever. Well, Edie...
I think that's what he gets upset about. Edie, let me tell you something.
Matt Jones isn't here right now, so let's go. Pump everything you got.
Let's hear it all. All right.
We have Psycho Kitties. Okay.
We have the Mad Hair Society. Okay.
We have Psycho Molly. Okay.
We have the Lazy Horse Race Club.

Okay.

Now, are these specific NFTs? Those are my major blue chip projects.

Okay.

Can I hear a little more about Psycho Kitties, please?

Absolutely.

So the Psycho Kitties and the Psycho Molly's are actually part of a collection by Ugonzo and Genius,

who actually have art in art galleries and sell pieces. The Mad Hair Society is also part of that, and it's going to be a play-to-earn game where the Psycho Kitties fight the Mad Hair Society.
But right now, the Psycho Kitties and the Mad Hairs, they're the males of the collection. There's $10,000 10K each, so that's 20K.
The psycho mollies, there's only 10K of those. So there's 10K of those males that ain't getting laid.
Okay. So, Edie, I want to step in real quick because you mentioned one thing that I feel like I'm more drawn to, the Lazy Horse Race Club, you said.
Now, is that one of those NFTs where you can buy an electronic horse, and then you own that horse, and then you can watch it race? Because if it involves gambling as well as NFTs, I feel like that's a real good way to make a lot of money real fast. Yes, and the game just dropped, as they say, a couple weeks ago.
It dropped Derby Day, and we actually met a bunch of the other investors that hold the Lazy Horse NFT at the Kentucky Derby. So if you own one of those Lazy Horses or Lazy Ponies, you will race it in the Metaverse on the Oculus.
And they will also have a casino, too, that you can go in. It's part of Lazy World.
If you have one of those NFTs, we also have in-real-life racehorses. So if one of those racehorses that we own is racing, say, at Keemlin, I can show my NFT and I i can get in free go back to the stables where the horse is held watch the race everything for free have you and if the okay in real life horses win first second or third then we get a drop of the lhrc token i like this so how much how much does one of these NFT racehorses cost? Because I've been wanting to get into the racehorse game for a while.
Right now, I'd have to check the floor, but I'm guessing about $100 you could get one. So Edie, we've got to take a break in a minute.
Where can people find all these? I want to buy a Psycho Kitty. I want to buy a real racehorse in real life and then NFT and then have them meld.
Where can we find it? Okay, so crypto.com through their DeFi wallet and on Abyssin Bay. And you can also follow me, CoolChick, K-E-W-L-S-Chick.
And I'm following you guys on Twitter also. But I host spaces on Twitter and help people got them through setting up their wallets and everything.
Like a shaman for NFTs. I love it.
We're going to hop into space Edie. We appreciate your call.
Thank you so much. I'm going to tweet it out right now.
Be good. Alright, we're back.
Half hour left. Thank you again to Matt Jones, Shannon, everyone at Kentucky Sports Radio for letting us host today.
We are Pardon My Take. Do we have Buck? Do we have Buck, Shannon? Yeah, Buck is on.
What's up, Buck? Buck. Yeah.
How's it going? Can you hear me? Yeah. Welcome back, Buck.
Yeah, it's going to be hard to follow, though, the psycho kitties and the talking crows and the ghost cow yeah well hey listen you're up yeah what do you got for us get into it well you know cal i think he's been trying to hire matt as an assistant coach since he's been there matt keeps turning him down because he you know i mean he can do more good as a senator Yes, that's you know his focus is on yeah well matt is real good at being like you remember that guy baghdad bob the guy that used to work for saddam hussein and he just always be like everything's fine iraq is fine we're winning this war that's kind of what matt's role is for this for the state of kentucky i think he does of it. Yes, absolutely.
I don't think he would let gas get to $6 a gallon. I mean, you know, people's recycling cigarette butts down here right now.
Yeah, gas is a big problem. What else you got going on? Any big plans for the summer? Well, I've got involved in the off-road community, so that's what I've been been spending a lot of time uh promoting the off-road business here in eastern kentucky what is that yeah explain that well the state created an 18 county board 18 counties created a board and we're trying to do a trail system like the hatfield mccoy trail system in west virginia okay and you.
That's what we're trying to get in eastern Kentucky to Tyre County where people can come here and ride and see the beauty of what we got here. I think West Virginia does a good job marketing because that's a famous feud, the Hatfields and the McCoys.
Do you have any hollers or any towns or trails named after famous murders that you can use to promote it? I don Well, I don't think there are any murders or anything that they've named them after. You know, we've got some interesting ones, you know, Horse Creek and Flatlick, you know, Pigeon Roost.
What about naming it like Patino versus Lasting Long in Bed?

Oh, yeah.

That's one of all-time rivalries.

That would be a great name for a hauler.

We'd just have to pick the short one out.

Yeah.

Rick versus Italian Restaurant Floors.

Yes, yes. One of the greatest rivalries.

Careful, you might get stuck.

Yeah.

The Alfredo sauce isn't our specialty.

Always hike with a partner. It gets muddy out there.
You don't want to be stuck out in the wilderness. Yes.
Absolutely not. So what are you doing? Are you driving? What are you driving when you're going off-roading? I've got a couple of side-by-sides.
I've got a Kawasaki and a Honda and a Can-Am. Wow.
I love it. I i mean this actually sounds legitimately very fun so um that's a very cool project what do you what do you think about uh our idea that we need to take coach cal peri off of the hot seat and put the kentucky fans on there well i you know the cal has done an extraordinary job i mean you guys have have covered the bases with it.
I mean, how many coaches can brag about having all those number one draft picks? I mean, the fans in Kentucky, I guess we need to lower our expectations. I mean, most people around here expect a championship every year or a Final Four at least.
Yeah, I think that's a fair thing to say. I feel like Kentucky fans have been, you've held your coaches to too high of a standard in the past.
Listen, you're Kentucky. You're not the University of Washington.
You're not going to be out here competing for national championships every year. You've got to take competing in the SEC, getting off to those good first-to-ten-point leads.
Focus on the positive. Accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative. And just change the vibes a little bit.
So holding to a different standard, I think it's time to just recalibrate expectations. Winning isn't the only thing if you're a real Kentucky fan.
I think the real Wildcat fans understand that. Oh, yes, certainly.
You know, I think that we have done so well, you know, in the past that it kind of gets your expectations up there, and that's kind of what's got us off kilter. You know, we expect to win.
You know, we expect to be the best. So maybe we are in the wrong, what uh what would you say you know maybe just root you know to make the tournament if you qualify for the ncaa tournament every year i think that you know it's the old saying if you don't expect too much from me you might not be let down yeah i mean you know people could cheer for an nip tournament win or championship.
I mean, you know, you know, we don't have to always sit your side so high, you know, on the national stage. Of course, I think maybe that's why we get such players, such good players here.
And that's another thing. You know, these guys are kids.
They're 17, 18 years old. I don't want to be too hard on them.
I know they're doing the best they can. Yeah, they're just kids.
I say that all the time. When they miss free throws, they're just kids.
That's absolutely a fact. Okay, so, Buck, anything else you want to talk to us about? I mean, the floor is yours.
We love having you on. Love reconnecting with you.
Well, it's a tough time down here in Clay County. I mean, gasoline's almost as high as moonshine.
I don't know what what people's gonna put in their car or drink here lately yeah well yeah it's probably a good thing that you you have to pick one now either get loaded on moonshine or go for a drive but not both at the same time yeah you go for a drive or you go for a crawl i mean it's your choice i mean either one you know is you know pretty good either, true. I know.
Gas is, it's outrageous right now how high it's getting. Are you someone, we've had the debate before, are you someone that waits until you get all the way to empty to then fill it back up, or do you fill it back up a couple times when you're at half just so that you can always kind of convince yourself that you're not spending, you know, $100 at the tank? i'm not going to lie to you i've not been to town in two weeks oh so it's been limiting your mobility the gas prices yeah i don't really uh have a preference there i never know how much gas is in my vehicle it don't move much what about what about this idea? What about starting a gas station that has prices that are just crazy, crazy high? I'm talking like $9, $10 a gallon.
That way people can drive by, take a picture of it and post on social media and be like, dang, look at this crazy gas price I just found. And then you open a gas station across the road that sells it for the regular price.
So seems cheap that's a heck of an idea around here i'll tell you uh you know but i don't think anybody's going to sell be selling much gas we're about ready you can play marbles out here in the middle of the road yo okay i mean that's not so bad either traffic has slowed down a lot yeah everyone getting no traffic everyone grab a bicycle all right well buck thanks so much for calling in we really appreciate it and we wish you the best of luck on working on that off-roading that sounds very cool once it's finished we're going to come down we'll ride a motorcycle around Kentucky absolutely absolutely we'd love to have you guys down here take you up a holler I love it I want to go to a holler I to a holler. I will go in any holler.
Yep. You show it to me.
I'm a holler guy. I'm sure there's a lot of UK fans that love to take you up a holler right now and maybe leave you there.
Oh. I don't want to go in that holler.
Listen. I want to come out of any holler I go into.
Now, I just heard from at Bucky Hooves, Bucky Small Hooves on Twitter.com, pointed out that Ted Bundy spent some time in Kentucky. So maybe we named the four-wheeler trail the Ted Bundy Memorial Trail.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, anything's possible. We've got some killer trails.
Yeah, there you go. All right, Buck, thanks so much.
We appreciate it. Thank you, guys, man.
Thank you for having me. All right.
I'm giving Buck the call of the day, by the way. That's a good call.

Yeah, Buck is the man. I love Buck.

I love holler talk, too. I think we've debated

that on this show. What is the difference

between a holler, a valley,

a hill? I want to know.

It's very intricate. That's the Don Franklin

Auto call of the day. Thank you to

Don Franklin Auto.

Shannon, you want to do a couple calls real quick before we take

our last break? Yeah, let's do one more. Let's do Kentucky Joe.
Kentucky Joe, how you doing? Oh, pretty good. It's been a while since I heard you all on here.
Yeah, about a year. Y'all doing all right up in New York City up there with all the gasoline and everything? Yeah, we're doing okay.
Yeah. Yeah.
You know, listen, it's a tough time when you look at the gas prices. It's hurt a lot of people's pocketbooks.
But we're in New York City, which helps. You know, as you know about New York, we do have the best bourbon up here.
We've got the best barbecue in the world. The most delicious gas.
The most delicious gas. Smells the best up here.
The fastest racehorses. So, you know, small comforts that we can take in these times.
Let's see, is Strike Rich going to win the Belmont? Ooh, good question. Yeah, the Belmont doesn't have a lot of hype this year because obviously he sat out for the Preakness.
Are you you know what I'm very excited for, Kentucky Joe? I'm being Lexington for the Breeders this year, which is one of my favorite weekends. The fact that it's back at Keeneland has me so excited.
Are you a big horse guy? Yeah, I kind of helped a few people a few years back. I picked She Dares the Devil for the Kentucky Oaks.
I wrote a little song about it. Oh, let's hear it.
Can you do it? Huh?

Can you sing it for us?

No.

I'll tell you what I'd like to do is sing a song called Slam Dunk

about UK basketball next year.

Okay.

Go off.

Yeah, let's do it.

That's S-I-M-p-l-i-s-i-f-e.com slash pmt okay let's wrap up we got guys on chicks henry before he gets the parts for uh the wood of game three nervous i am nervous very nervous uh pretty fucking nervous. Okay.
But are you worried? No, I'm just nervous. I'm excited.
Butterflies. Not worried? No.
Nervous. It is crazy how...
You guys know how it is when you're going into a championship game. It's like, there's nerves.
There's nerves. But you're never worried, yeah.
Game three is very... It's a pivotal game.
Very, very significant. Pivotal game.
Pivotal game. As long as it's not a blowout, though.
Even if it's a close loss, they can bounce back. I don't like that.
I don't like this. This is bad.
You're already bargaining. It's got to fight.
You're entering the bargaining stage. That means that you've just been delivered the bad news that you're going to die, and you're just trying to get your way out of that.
The narratives, the public narratives, it's like the internet and you guys, everyone flip-flops so hard. Game one, it was like the Celtics are going to win the championship, and then the last three days it's just been Draymond, Draymond, Steph Curry, Draymond, Draymond, Steph Curry.
Pick a side. I've actually, if you listen to Monday's part of my take, Hank, I said that anyone who decides that one team is significantly better than the other is just making it up at this point right so I I don't know how that's anti either team well they're both really fucking good you've got and I can't make sense of this series you also have the the public perception now I think swung so hard after the Draymond game where you know that the refs are going to make a statement early they're like we can't let what Draymond with the triple block, he was a lead blocker on that one play, with some of those clips going viral, the referees are going to be like, we can't let Draymond embarrass us again.
Yeah, no, there's definitely going to be... It's going to be officiated differently.
Okay, guys on chicks. Sup, Canada boys.
My boyfriend... Tough day for Canada.
My boyfriend refuses to have a bank account or use a credit card. He says he likes the old school feel of whipping out a wad of cash with a rubber band around it.
We do not have a safe in the house, and he refuses to tell me where he's hiding all the cash. Where should I look? I love this, by the way.
I know that we've discussed this before because Billy's afraid of cash. I think having not too much cash because you don't want to have so much cash that that if you lose it if you lose your wallet you're like fuck this really hurts that's kind of the thrill though yeah but i like having a like certain amount of cash on me at all times because it just it feels nice to be off the grid yeah i was walking around nashville last weekend and i i stopped by the atm before i went there and there's no real rhyme or reason to it because every place in Nashville takes credit cards and debit cards but I just wanted to have cash on me as I was walking around you know what it also is great for it's great when you're um like at a bar or going out to dinner and you're maybe like splitting the check or whatever like maybe you leave early and just throwing like way too much cash on the table being like, here, take this.
Yeah. I also love not having to do the split the check thing.
Like here, here's a hundred bucks. I'm good.
You know what a great power move is too. If you're out with friends, if you have cash on you, you can always like, you can tip someone that's not usually tipped in front of other people.
And then they're like, wow, that's a, that's a great move. What a class act.
What about New York city money? Yeah, exactly. Like exactly.
Like you tip a doorman just for doing their job. Thank you, sir, for keeping us safe.
But what about when your girlfriend tries to rob you, which this girl is clearly trying to do? Yeah, that is what is happening. Although.
Where would you hide it? Mayonnaise jar in the backyard. Under the hole.
Under the. Where did Tony.
It was under the trap. No.
It was. It was under the bird feed? If you have a surplus of bird feed and corn in the backyard, put it in a bag, shrink wrap it, and then put it underneath there.
I always think that it's cool when I see in movies that somebody puts it in a plastic bag, they zip it up, and then they put it in the toilet, like in the tank of the toilet. What I do...
I don't hide money, but I do hide candy around my house. I'll put it in the toilet, like in the tank of the toilet.
What I do, I don't hide money, but I do hide candy around my house.

I'll put it in my shoes.

From yourself or from your son?

From everyone besides myself.

You know, that's addict behavior.

Oh, yeah.

It's Genie Sax.

Yeah, when you have somebody that's hiding.

Yeah, Genie Sax or somebody that's hiding vodka in different drawers.

Yeah, mine is just, my vodka is just Reese's Pieces.

Pop-Tarts. And I'll just like, sometimes I'll put on shoes and be like, whoop, whoops, there's candy in here.
That was a mistake. I saw a story of a lady that found like $35,000 in a couch she bought on Craigslist and returned it.
Oh, what a sucker. And she got like $1,200.
What an idiot. Drives me crazy.
Well, counterpoint, if you find that much cash and you don't return it somebody's gonna come looking for that cash but they're gonna come looking either way it's no country for old men i i think the story no if you return it i think the story at that point is fine and it's settled her real mistake was then going to the news like and being like look i found this cash and then i gave it back to the person because now the person that had that much cash on their couch, their spot's blown up. Yeah.
If they come looking for the cash, they're still coming looking. Right.
But they're not going to be like, oh, they're going to come murder you. I think the move is to give it back, but give back like half.
Be like, I found 15,000. Yeah.
Just don't give it back. And then get murdered.
Yeah. Then they show up at your house.
Because they're like. Just say we gave it back.
When you're talking about the people... The person that's missing the cash is going to show up because...
Right, and then you say I gave it back. But to who? The police.
And they'll be like, what? They're not going to the police. What? You're tipping the cops out? No, he's actually right.
They won't go to the police. They're going to come to you, even if you return it or didn't return it.
Let's say you did return it. You say you gave it to the police.
If you didn't return it, you say you went to the police. How does that change anything? I just don't think that anybody in their right mind, their first reaction, they're going to get beat up or whatever's going to happen.
You know what? I'm going to go hand this to the police. What I don't understand is when people, can I just, now that we're on this topic, I don't understand whenever I see a video of a person like out boating in like Miami and they find a brick of cocaine and they return that.
That makes no sense to me. Keep that shit.
Right. How would anyone know? Exactly.
Well, then it's like you got to get rid of it. That's a little bit different.
No, you don't have to get rid of it. Up your nose.
Yeah, but like, yeah, I guess. Can I have a party? Yeah.
Oh, no. You got to get rid of these party i gotta figure out a way if anybody knows a way to make all this marijuana disappear yeah like i'd like for it to go up and smoke and somebody but what if you found 10 kilos like 10 bricks well there you have maybe a couple back and then keep a couple you want to try and yeah whatever no i would not i would not give that back honestly no you would try and sell it yeah No, I wouldn't.
No, I that's how you get murdered you not try to sell it billy what would you do where like if if you were looking for cash in your house where would you keep it or if you were looking for a place to store your cash under my mattress yeah or whatever suspects that or or in the mattress oh no actually i used to put valuables in the back of my mattress. Yeah, or whatever suspects that.
Or in the mattress. It's also back to your back.
Actually, I used to put valuables in the back of my dog crate. Oh, that's pretty good.
Because then you'd have to crawl in with the dog together. No, that's a good one.
What if your dog destroys them, though? Just be smart about it. Yeah, just be smart.
Tell your dog, please don't touch that. Hey, guys, bedside.
Also, your valuables are like, what is the most valuable thing you own? It's like a tomahawk steak. Yeah, it's in the freezer.
Put it in the dog crate. The dog crate.
All right. Nice pair of Oakleys.
Hey, guys. Bedside dilemma.
Shady Rays. I've lived with my, true.
I've lived with my boyfriend for about two and a half years, and I've always slept on the right side of the bed. All of a he wants my side but i don't want to budge whoa technically he did buy the bed so it is his bed but i've inhabited it now for this long it is next to the window and he does not and he does get more hot than i do temperature wise which is the reasoning for the switch who do you guys think should keep the right side? Lanayo, hope you answer this.
Have a great weekend. This is psycho.
I've got a definitive answer on this. When you go on a vacation, that's when you switch sides.
It's like you're doing something weird, something funky out of the ordinary. Let's get exotic.
I'm going to sleep on the right side of the bed tonight. Now, in your home, the answer should always be that the person that has to wake up first in the morning they sleep closer to the door to the bathroom yeah yeah exactly yeah so you don't have to like walk around the other person yes the bathroom i also think you can't switch until you move like you can't switch in a house that you've been sleeping if you have a side that you've been sleeping on, the window to switch is when you move.
Correct. You cannot switch, like, just one day switch.
That's crazy. Correct.
It's also a power move to be like, I bought the bed. Like, what's she going to do? Buy herself a bed? Yeah.
That is true. She's been like, this is my bed.
I bought it. I get both sides.
I think the important thing is you establish your side and you stick to it i think i think the get up early person should be close to the door now there is an exception like if you have a like a really protective uh man in the relationship that's like i have to put myself in between the door and and my woman at all times but the bottom line is you have to you have to pick a side and then you stick with that side you stick with it forever and again if maybe you can i could maybe think about switching if you move and it's like a whole new room and a whole new setup but even that i don't know you got a side and you stick with it that's just what you do that's crazy hey this is stephanie my boyfriend is backpacking through europe with a couple of his friends. Should I be worried he will cheat on me? Or is he a beta cuck and I should dump him if he doesn't? Thanks.
Yeah, definitely the second option. When he gets back, be like, yo, how many STDs he got? Yeah.
Oh, zero. Zero? Peace.
You pussy. I want a man that can get laid.
I think it all depends on the friends he's with. Like, if he's with party guys, he's going to cheat on you.
That's just a fact. If he's with, like, outdoorsy guys who are like, oh, we're – when you say backpacking through Europe, there's two different ways that could go.
That could just be a bender through Europe where they're going city to city, or they could literally be backpacking through like the swiss alps if they're doing that

you're good what'd you say yeah i would say that that's probably accurate and question when he gets back and be like hey what did you do while you were there and if he gives you like more than two different museum brochures and he's like oh i went here um then he's probably fine if he doesn't have any museum brochures.

He was fucking.

All right, last one.

Hey, PFT, fat cat.

Damn.

Rude. he's probably fine if he doesn't have any museum brochures he was fucking all right last one hey pft fat cat damn rude rude mean best in the office jake billy bubba and memes rude wow uh my boyfriend and i were fucking last week and shrek was on in the background the sex was going great until my boyfriend came and he said i'm coming in in your swamp.
Is this normal? I knew swamp was going to be involved. Yeah, that's, I mean, sometimes you get caught up, you know, like a real sexy song is on.
Maybe your sex is a little bit different. If you're watching Shrek, then, you know, sometimes it's part of the immersion.
Depends if you did the voice or not. Yeah.
You also just need also just need to go along with it. Yeah.
Come in your swamp. And then you go, and then you got to just go.
And, and when you go to the bathroom, just be like, I'm going to go drain the swamp. Like that.
Just keep it going. I would have said, hello, donkey.
Oh man. Yeah.
Do you ever, ever when you're watching a movie, the craziest thing when you're watching a movie and you fall asleep and then you start dreaming about that movie? That's wild. Kind of similar, but not exactly similar.
I think it's fine, though, to kind of get so into the movie that you're watching that it becomes part of the sex. I just stopped watching Peaky Blinders for a while.
Why? Because I was having some violent-ass dreams. Really? Yeah, I was going to sleep and murdering people with a bunch of my bros.
Damn. Who'd you kill? I don't remember.
I just remember waking up being like There's another season, right? Holy fuck. I think there's a season and a movie.
Actually, it comes out on Friday. Doesn't it come out on Friday? Oh, it might.
Or like comes out on BBC. I don't know.
Because it comes out on BBC first. Well, the woman, the main character, she died in real life, I believe.
Yep. The mom.
Yes. Rose.
Polly. Polly.
I feel like most shows. Great fucking actress.
Most of these shows should just be limited to two seasons. Yeah.
Because the first season is always one where everyone's like, holy shit, this is awesome. And the second season is like, oh, it's not as good as the first.
It's also just really hard to remember. Like I started watching season three of Barry, which is a hilarious show.

And I watched, like, the recap and all that stuff.

And I still was like, I don't remember anything.

It feels like five years ago I watched this.

June 10th.

June 10th.

Beautiful.

Wait, so that is.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's Friday.

Hell yes.
