Speaker 1 On today's part of my take, we've got our good friends Taylor Luan and Will Compton in studio, the busting with the boys, boys.

Speaker 1 Great interview with them. Touch everything.

Speaker 1 We also have some conference finals set. So Hank is going to be on Zoom.
He was... on the wood on the floor for the Celtics beating the Bucs in game seven.

Speaker 1 We're also taping this at halftime of the Mav Suns because we're calling it. We're calling it.
It could be a historic comeback, but we are calling it

Speaker 1 Suns are cooked. Absolutely cooked.
So we have all of that. Before we get to that, though,

Speaker 3 when cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 4 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 4 And then I can't blame all on the sun.

Speaker 4 Oh no, we're gonna rock it down to Electric Avenue.

Speaker 4 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 4 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Elan Trake Avenue.

Speaker 1 It's part of my take, presented by Marshall Sports.

Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take, presented by visible.com/slash pod. Get a limited single line wireless for as low as $25 a month when you go to visible.com/slash pod.
Today is Monday, May 16th,

Speaker 1 and the Suns are dead. The Mavericks are alive.
The Celtics are alive. And the Bucs are dead.
All right, so

Speaker 1 little caveat here. We are taping this at the halftime.
Right now, the score is Luka Doncic, 27, the Phoenix Suns, 27. Chris Paul, one.

Speaker 4 It's actually so much funnier that Chris Paul only has one point than if he had zero points at halftime.

Speaker 1 Yes, one point is hard to do.

Speaker 1 Listen, PFT, we know ball. He's downloading the information.

Speaker 1 Second half, he's going to be going off. He's plugged in.
He's going to figure it out.

Speaker 1 He's just updating it right now. He's updating the code back in the locker room.
When he comes out, it's over for the Mavs.

Speaker 1 But this is, we decided to do this at halftime because either one, we look smart by saying the Suns are deader than dead and this is an embarrassing performance game seven at home, or we will get to relive this as the dumbest thing we've ever done when they come back and have the craziest victory of all time.

Speaker 4 I don't think it's that dumb. I mean, let's say let's say that Chris Paul hypothetically quadruples his output from the first half and he ends up with five points on the game total.

Speaker 4 Yeah, they're done. These Suns are cooked.
The Sun has expired. The Suns, to paraphrase my good friend Meek Mill, the Suns is a disgrace.

Speaker 4 They're a disgrace. I'm going to call it right now.
I'm going to use a hard D-bomb. A disgrace.
What's that, Hank?

Speaker 1 A fraud.

Speaker 1 I love Meek Mill. Okay, so

Speaker 1 here's what we'll do.

Speaker 1 Let's talk Celtics first, then we'll revisit after we watch the first five minutes of the third quarter but the suns are done they're cooked i've never seen i and credit to the mavs by the way the mavs came out with great energy spencer dinwiddie was just hitting every shot i do think it's a combo of like the mavs playing great but also the suns forgetting how to like touch a basketball

Speaker 4 the way that they're playing basketball right now is very strange it's real strange it's like chris paul he tries to run a pick and roll dribbles into a double team kicks it out like directly backwards to jay crowder and hopes that jay crowder just fills it up that's that's what their game plan is right now shocking it's not working.

Speaker 4 Luka Dontric is like straight up tearing them limb from limb.

Speaker 1 Crossing over everyone.

Speaker 4 And he's doing the smug little Luca smirks.

Speaker 4 I don't think anybody has a more condescending smirk besides Hank Lockwood than Luka Dontric does. He's boxing out on free throws and winking at the foul shooter.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 It's very disrespectful what he's doing.

Speaker 4 Our good friend Sam Schwartzeyen actually pointed out that Spencer Dinwiddie has been playing like a fucking maniac since Bitcoin crashed. And his entire contract got converted into crypto this year.

Speaker 4 So he's out there. He knows he has to get another big contract.

Speaker 1 He's really in trouble right now.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he knows he's got to try to get one max deal.

Speaker 1 The Suns career. The Suns are playing like they have Chris Paul and four James Hardens in a game seven.
That's how they're playing right now.

Speaker 4 But what's the conversion rate of a playoff Chris Paul to a playoff James Harden? Because I feel like that's...

Speaker 4 like Stanley Nichols to shrootball.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, and it's also a Chris Paul that was up 2-0 in a series, and I think this would be now the fifth time, and I know there's injuries in there and everything, and there's all these different, but I think it would be the fifth time a Chris Paul-led team was up 2-0 in a series and ended up losing that series.

Speaker 4 I think we need to actually take a step back and rewind through history, go back to when the Chris Paul to the Lakers trade didn't happen because David Stern nixed it.

Speaker 4 I think David Stern accurately knew, like, hey, the league's better when the Lakers are winning championships. Yes.

Speaker 4 I'm not going to let this trade go through just because I know that they'll never win a ring when Chris Paul's on the team.

Speaker 4 I think it wasn't a matter of making a super team that made him step in and put the kibosh on. I think he actually saved the NBA.

Speaker 1 A triumph for guys like us who just live on narratives, and we don't want to give up narratives because they're fun. And look, we know Chris Paul's good, but is he? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's the question that should lead all debate shows on Monday.

Speaker 4 Chris Paul is literally the best NBA player of all time. That is sucked.

Speaker 1 We actually were debating whether we could call Rosillo tonight. I don't think we can.
I think this is going to be a fracture in our relationship for a while.

Speaker 4 I think we've got to wait a couple weeks.

Speaker 1 I think I'm going to have to have another kid, and we're going to have to have another life episode and sit down and just be like,

Speaker 1 here's a tip. Don't get too committed to one player who's 37 years old and chokes in the playoffs all the time.

Speaker 4 I think I might have to go adopt a child to save our relationship with him. I'll name him Chris.

Speaker 4 And I'll get Ryan to help me raise him.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Ryan will be like, oh, that's my son's name, too.

Speaker 4 Is Ryan, is he a Celtics fan? Yes. So that's probably, we'll have to wait until after the Celtics get to the finals and just let him talk about how great his Celtics are.

Speaker 1 Yes, but this is

Speaker 1 going to be tough. It'll be touch and go for a while.
We'll try to have him on at some point in the rest of the playoffs. But

Speaker 1 this will be a, like, I'll text him in a few days being like, hey.

Speaker 1 That'll be it. Like, just a hang.

Speaker 1 You're not going to text him tonight. No, I already texted him.
I texted him in the second quarter. I was like, hey, chin up, dude.

Speaker 1 He's just getting ready to go off.

Speaker 1 I was like, long game. But, all right, let's talk about the game that is final.
The Celtics beat the Bucs. Hank was there on the wood.

Speaker 1 The Bucs,

Speaker 1 you know, incredible series. Incredible series.
Goes seven. The Bucs decided to galaxy brain game seven, saying, let's just leave Grant Williams open, who's a 40% shooter from three.

Speaker 1 He's not a bad, he's a good shooter from three. They left him open all day.
He tied the record for most threes in a game seven with seven. Um, that was, that was wild.
Hank, why don't you tell us?

Speaker 1 I'll let you just go wherever you want to go with your spaz celebrations. Just go off.

Speaker 3 I mean, we can, we can get into the spaz celebrations. It was an unbelievable experience.
Great hospitality shown by the Celtics sitting courtside, obviously, is it was wild, wild sitting there.

Speaker 3 Grant Williams, but it was one of those things where they left him wide open. And every time it wasn't, they weren't bad shots.
It was like, he has to be shooting these.

Speaker 3 He's missing them, but he just needs to keep shooting them because he's wide open. They're not guarding him.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 So he attempted 18 threes in this game.

Speaker 1 But none of them were bad shots. No, they were

Speaker 3 relatively wide open.

Speaker 4 There's only one player that's ever attempted more threes in a playoff game. Any guesses?

Speaker 1 James Harden. Russell Westbrook.

Speaker 4 Russell Westbrook

Speaker 4 on a night that he put up 43 total shots and they still lost.

Speaker 4 That was the record. It still stands, but only by one.
I think he had 19 attempts.

Speaker 4 It was a clinic. It was the Grant Williams game.

Speaker 4 And you have to ask yourself, did Hank's presence at courtside, like when LeBron plays so well because Drake's there watching him, was Grant like, you know what? I'm Team Hank.

Speaker 4 I got to put it on a show for my boy.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it was in these guys' ears. Marcus Smart came over afterwards.
We were sitting next to his agent, came over, took a picture. Great guy.

Speaker 1 I got a question about that. I got a question about that.

Speaker 1 There's a picture. You can find it online.
Hank and Dave.

Speaker 3 Marcus Smart's Instagram posted it.

Speaker 1 No big deal. Marcus Smart posted it.

Speaker 1 Dave did point out on the Twitter that he said that you should take your shirts off. What happened there? Because I'll tell you one thing.

Speaker 1 That picture would be 10 billion times funnier if you both had your shirts off as well.

Speaker 3 Oh, easily. I would have, and I could have shown the six-pack.
He said that after the fact. That was like a post-mostly comment.
That wasn't. Ah, got it.
Like he said it.

Speaker 3 I was like, yeah, we should have. That would have been hilarious, but it wasn't.
Okay. It was a kind of, it was kind of a spur of the moment thing.
The celebrations.

Speaker 3 Obviously, you know, when you're on, when you're in the wood, like, you know, you guys know how it is. We do streams.
People see you celebrating. Yeah, when you're in the wood.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 I was, that was just like that was just a that was as raw emotion as you could possibly have like it wasn't thought about i wasn't like i'm gonna pump my fist it was just like correct excitement leaving my body and simultaneously through both of my hands i have no problem with it though i think like that's it was beautiful to watch i know that you're you're self-conscious about but i don't think that you should be i'm not no i'm telling you you're definitely

Speaker 1 you actually you're so triggered by it you tweeted it after can i tell you actually you tweeted at me well yeah because it was it was shocking. I mean, what, like, what, dude? We, remember when PFT.

Speaker 1 All right, you describe it. You describe it.

Speaker 3 Like, I described it. All right, you describe it for the listeners.

Speaker 1 You tried to do, and you can find it. We'll put it in the YouTube.
Hank tried to do a double fist pump and kind of like a double flail kick. Someone actually nailed it.

Speaker 1 You look like one of Ballmer's cronies when they were doing the like get on your feet dance. And like, that's doing micro, like, Windows 97 was getting introduced.

Speaker 4 That's the old Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Soccer coach. Yeah.
And it was like you lost all control of your body. And can I tell you? I did.

Speaker 1 Can I tell you that this is going to hurt you because the call came from within the house.

Speaker 1 When I keyed in on you celebrating, I got tipped off to it by a close associate sometime in the second quarter. Who? Memes? Nope.

Speaker 1 Stanford Steve texted me. He's like, we got to work on Hank's fist pumps.
And I was like,

Speaker 1 and then I started watching. I was like, what is he doing? He's trying to pull off a double fist pump.
That's never been done before.

Speaker 4 Hank, I know you're thinking to yourself, probably, man, I looked like such a nerd. I'm so embarrassed.

Speaker 1 What a bad visual for me.

Speaker 1 I wish no one had ever seen this. But Hank,

Speaker 4 I don't have a problem with it. I think that you're...

Speaker 1 Man in the arena, man in the wood arena.

Speaker 3 You're supposed to.

Speaker 4 Man in the woods. You're supposed to look like an absolute freak when you're sitting courtside.
I would be concerned if you didn't celebrate like a complete and total dork.

Speaker 4 Like, that tells me that you're a real fan.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and also,

Speaker 1 perfectly normal celebration.

Speaker 1 Heck, it kind of works too because they had, like, if you were someone who was watching and you had no idea what Barstool was, they have Team Hank on the Jumbotron in the second quarter.

Speaker 1 Then you spazzing out. They're like, this guy's got like two weeks to live.
It's great. He's enjoying the hell out of his time.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Listen, I just,

Speaker 3 I think I said it on the show the other day. I'm in denial about that part of it because I was.
Thinking about it.

Speaker 3 Like, it's just ridiculous that people are just like being like Team Hank for no fucking reason. Like, they're asking, like, why are they saying this? I'm like, I don't really know how to explain it.

Speaker 3 And I'm just not going to. Right.
I'm just going to, I'm just going to block that part out of it and just focus on the good parts.

Speaker 3 Focus on, listen, yeah, you make fun of my celebration, which was perfectly normal, but if that's the, if that's the price I have to pay for a victory in game seven on the wood, I'll do it all day.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, that's the thing is in reality, like you've been on a very hot streak recently. So

Speaker 1 us sitting on our couch making fun of your celebration. I think we deserve this.
We deserve that. We got to take, otherwise we wouldn't be.
You're reaching a little bit, but that's fine.

Speaker 1 Oh, it was not a reach, dude. You jumped out of the screen.

Speaker 1 I thought you were going to collapse.

Speaker 4 Hank, sing like nobody's listening. Live like it's heaven on earth.

Speaker 1 You can't even. Love like you've never won before.
Dance like no one's watching. I actually said that when I came in.
You literally can't even clap.

Speaker 4 I've been working on my claps. My claps are totally fine now, but it took some bad film for me to improve on it.

Speaker 4 It was a good thing. In fact, I thank God every morning that I wake up that that bad visual, me clapping like, I don't know, like my hands were butterfly wings.

Speaker 4 I'm glad that came out there because I got to improve on it. I got to watch my own film.
You should look at this as a learning. What would Tom Brady say?

Speaker 1 Stop. Yeah.

Speaker 4 He'd probably say, like, I learned more from my mistakes than I do from my accomplishments. So you've got a lot to learn today.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 No more double fist pumps. And again, Hank, I mean, you're on a hot streak.

Speaker 1 You just got to sit on the wood to watch your team win a game seven where they were like, that had to been one of the best sporting events you've been to because it was. It was never in doubt.

Speaker 1 It basically, the game, I don't want to say it turned, but when Marcus smart stole the ball from yannis with like a second left in the second quarter and then they called the the shooting three from half court it was like from that moment on it was the celtics romp the celtics played like absolute dirt in the first quarter and the fact that they made it out of the first half up by five that like that's 100 true where it's like they played really really bad and won the half by five points like If they just played decent, they're going to win.

Speaker 3 And that's what they did.

Speaker 1 They dominated.

Speaker 4 I did have a lot of.

Speaker 1 And Giannis, Giannis was missing.

Speaker 3 He missed like five layups in the second half.

Speaker 1 He did the third quarter.

Speaker 4 He did. I had a lot of NBA rates.

Speaker 1 He had a lot

Speaker 4 of

Speaker 4 in the first half. It did seem like

Speaker 4 there were some very sketchy calls going on.

Speaker 4 They were trying to work against the Celtics. I would agree with somebody that

Speaker 4 if you're rooting for Boston, you were watching that first half, it seemed

Speaker 4 more than a little fishy. But then at some point in the second half, it almost felt like the refs figured out, like, well, we can't keep this one close.

Speaker 4 It's just not able to happen.

Speaker 1 And it was essentially the Bucs needed just anyone to step up for them, and they just didn't have anyone who stepped up. Like, it was,

Speaker 1 and you know what's so weird is I was looking at it. Giannis, I don't think anyone would argue at this point, Giannis is the best player in the world.
Like, he,

Speaker 1 the series he put on was incredible.

Speaker 3 He had like a triple-double in the first quarter.

Speaker 1 He had 200

Speaker 1 in seven games, he had 237 points, 103 rebounds, and 50 assists. Like, that's just stupid.
So, I don't think anyone would argue that it wasn't like they

Speaker 1 acquitted themselves as well as a defending champ could do. And I'm not even going to get into Chris Middleton injury because you can't talk about, like, what are you going to do? Like, he's injured.

Speaker 1 Like, what are you going to say?

Speaker 1 It's just crazy to think of how much he did and how much he just needed one guy, one or two guys, which actually brings me to a point, Hank. Is the Brotherhood dead? Because Grayson Allen was so bad.

Speaker 1 He had such big, like, I shouldn't be here energy. And he airballed the three in the second quarter.
And you were up his ass. I was watching.
You were up his ass. So is the Brotherhood dead?

Speaker 1 Is the Duke Brotherhood dead?

Speaker 3 I mean, Brotherhood, Brotherhood's forever, but it's like, you know, when you change, it's only when you're wearing the jersey. Let's be honest.
It's only when you're wearing the jersey.

Speaker 3 If you're wearing the jersey, it's Brotherhood. But if you're wearing the opposing team's jersey and I'm on the wood and you airball it, I'm going to let you hear it.

Speaker 4 Did you find him after the game to try to do a handshake line with him?

Speaker 1 No, no. You were giving them business.

Speaker 3 They walked right off. I mean, I don't, yeah, I guess I like people were telling me a lot of videos.
I was vocal. It was one of those things.

Speaker 3 It's like, you know, when you're on the wood, you're involved in the game. You're basically like the sixth man.

Speaker 1 Can we talk real quick? Uh, other pieces, important pieces of the game. Um, piss break in the first quarter.
What happened there?

Speaker 3 I got pretty, pretty drunk last night, woke up today, had it, had a couple of drinks in the morning. So I was definitely like my bladder was, was,

Speaker 3 I needed to go. Yeah.
I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, uh,

Speaker 3 it took me a little while to get into, you know, game mode. I had to really play, play my way into it.

Speaker 4 It was a glaring, glaring absence on the sideline, though.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it stuck out like a sore thumb, and that's actually it was it was one of those things where I was, you know, listen, I was, I was, I got, I sat down in the seats and I was in my head, similar to the jail shit story that people always chirp me for.

Speaker 3 I was like, I have to pee, but I'm gonna wait till the end of the first half. But I was so uncomfortable that I was like, it's gonna be awkward.

Speaker 3 I'm probably gonna get chirped for it, but I'm gonna be 10 times more comfortable once I'm finished.

Speaker 1 It had to be done. By the way, quick update: the Mavericks are now up 41 points.
Holy 41 points. I think we made the right choice.
The Suns is a disgrace.

Speaker 1 Can they actually throw in the White Tower?

Speaker 1 Can the Suns actually just quit?

Speaker 4 I'm telling you, you guys are going to bonk me for it, but they needed AJ Titties at halftime.

Speaker 1 Yes, we are going to bonk me.

Speaker 1 Both things can be true. Yeah, I need to be true.
Both things can be true.

Speaker 4 I'm not afraid of being bonked for telling the truth. And call me horny if you must, but they needed to get sucked off.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 This is horrific. I don't know what you...
Let's see. Let's just get a quick update on the Chris Paul stat line.

Speaker 4 I think he's still got one point. He's got three points.
Three points, all right.

Speaker 1 Three points, two assists, one rebound.

Speaker 4 Stat stuffer. He's got to be doing a bit, right?

Speaker 1 I feel like Chris Paul. I think Giannis had that stat line 45 seconds into the game.

Speaker 4 It's ridiculous what Chris Paul is doing right now.

Speaker 4 You've got Merc, Q, and Sal backstage, like whispering into earphones, being like, okay, now

Speaker 4 throw the ball off JaVale McGee's knee out of bounds.

Speaker 1 It also, I mean, Bob Ryan hates this NBA, but it does prove that, like,

Speaker 1 DeAndre Ayton has also been bad, and DeAndre Ayton is,

Speaker 1 you have to have five guys that can play at the three-point line in a series. You know what I mean? Like,

Speaker 1 you can't play with a center.

Speaker 4 I'm offended. I'm offended.
And going into this game, I texted the group chat this, trying to get what the vibes were.

Speaker 4 I was betting on the Suns, and I said, I'm also betting the over on Chris Paul points

Speaker 4 at 17 and a half. And I was doing it mostly so that

Speaker 4 I would be saving myself either way. So, one, if he did get the over, boom, I bet hits.
I'm happy about that.

Speaker 4 If he gets the under, then it really fuels, it gets me more amped up about my anti-Chris Paul stance. Right.
And so, it did the trick. I'm, I'm, I'm literally angry at Chris Paul right now.

Speaker 1 It is, it's nuts. This is a shocking, shocking game.
Game seven at home, and you're down 39 now. They just cut the lead.
They're on a 2-0 run.

Speaker 4 You'd never hear somebody say like they laid an egg in basketball. It's more of a football term.
Chris Paul is laying an egg right now.

Speaker 1 This is, I, do you blow up the Suns? I got, you got to.

Speaker 1 I don't know what, like this is a loss that will haunt you i went yeah i wonder what what uh brian coxx would say about whether or not you could actually do that yeah well uh can i do a quick monday reading yeah uh billy football just tweeted this 16 seconds ago he said suns question mark more like moons because they're playing ass out terrible

Speaker 1 that's good billy i like that that was it

Speaker 1 Is the opposite of the sun the moon, though? I don't think so. 100%.
No, but

Speaker 1 even for us. The moon lights out.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I like it.

Speaker 1 In terms of the universe, what is the opposite of the sun?

Speaker 1 Black hole. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Black hole sun. This is a singularity.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Hank, we now need to turn our attention. By the way, one last thing about Grant Williams.

Speaker 4 I'll tell you what, they're not playing like Jupiter. Or shit, I fucked that up.

Speaker 4 Rewind. Tell you what, you're a...
Tell you what, big cat. They're not playing like Saturn.
Nice. Because they got no rings.

Speaker 1 Nice.

Speaker 1 Just pretend I didn't fuck you. Jupiter have rings? Huh? Jupiter has moons?

Speaker 4 I think Jupiter has maybe a small ring. A technical ring.

Speaker 1 Like a bubble ring. Like, yeah.

Speaker 1 They've got the Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse.
Right, right, right. Drops from Jupiter.
Great song.

Speaker 1 Tell me

Speaker 1 to fall from the shooting star.

Speaker 3 Should do Mount Rushmore planets.

Speaker 1 By the way, I have a Mount Rushmore idea that popped in my head. Now we're getting just sideways.

Speaker 3 I have worked out a couple too.

Speaker 1 Well, no, I have an idea for how we should do Mount Rushmore this year.

Speaker 3 Oh, boy.

Speaker 1 Yeah. i think we should go i think we should go teams because billy and jake are sitting next to each other we could have the producer team and me and pft team up and we go

Speaker 1 so that way there's three pick three three teams pick each time but it's teams i like that i think it would be i think it'd be a nice variation for it and we should we should give ourselves names yeah and jerseys and jerseys and sell shirts i just i just like you know i'm just gonna throw it out there like you guys are obviously the oldest two the two most valuable people like what happens when you guys just getting like i don't know hank we haven't been on a jumble

Speaker 1 recently. Are we a super team?

Speaker 3 Are you guys? No, we're out there about the big cat and being bad for Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 3 No, you guys being bad. I think

Speaker 3 you guys are going to be so bad that you're going to like, there's going to be like

Speaker 3 dissension between you two.

Speaker 1 I don't think we're going to be bad. I think we're actually going to find out very quickly that we are just dominant left and right.
I mean, we've seen Jake and Billy together.

Speaker 1 That team doesn't work whatsoever. All right.

Speaker 1 Team Hubble was a wagon. Team Hubble was around and won the pizza draft.

Speaker 1 Don't never forget the pizza draft.

Speaker 4 That was the birth of the Team Hank movement was the pizza draft.

Speaker 1 Double out.

Speaker 1 Never forget.

Speaker 3 And it was in his down in his worst place then.

Speaker 1 All right, let's move on though.

Speaker 1 To the more important, pressing topic now. And we're going to talk NHL after the busting with the boys.
So we're going to do all hockey talk then.

Speaker 1 Hank, you now have to face your greatest foe of your life. It's the only person who can just beat you left and right, up and down, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Speaker 4 He's your kryptonite. It's Jake Marsh.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 what are your thoughts going into this

Speaker 1 Eastern Conference final now with Jake Marsh looking at you across the way and just smiling and being like, I hope we just have a good time?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, this is bubble revenge. My thoughts, honestly, and this is going to make it worse.
It's going to be a colder take if they end up losing, but I do think the Celtics are a better team.

Speaker 3 Like, I think this should be a five or six game series win. Wow.

Speaker 3 And I just, you know, heat culture, all that shit. But that was, you know, even the bubble, like, the Celtics team is a much different team than they were in the bubble.
They're way better.

Speaker 3 The heat are basically the same, if not worse. Yes.

Speaker 3 So I feel, oh, nice. I feel, I feel, I feel extremely confident about this game.

Speaker 1 So this series. Yeah,

Speaker 4 I would not feel confident ever going up against Jake Marsh because he's a winner. He'll smile.
He'll laugh. He'll apologize for beating you as he slits your throat.

Speaker 4 It's just, it's so much worse losing to Jake at anything. And I would be very, very afraid if I were you.
I would definitely not be making declarations.

Speaker 4 It sounds like you're declaring a possible whomping. You said five or six games.
That's a potential whomping.

Speaker 3 That is a potential whomping. I also would just like to say, you know, it's just such a shame, such a shame that it's not the Sixers.

Speaker 3 Like, if they were as good as they claim to be all year, everyone was talking all that shit and they were in the Easter Conference Finals and this was...

Speaker 3 Boston versus Philadelphia for a chance to go to the finals, it'd be unbelievable.

Speaker 1 By the way, not to just rip the wound, the fresh gaping wound that the Sixers have, but the one little fun fact that comes out of Ime Udoka going to the Eastern Conference Final, this is now three assistant coaches the Sixers had.

Speaker 1 They're the new Washington Redskins, three, sorry, commanders. They had three assistant coaches in the last seven years that have gone to a conference final.
So, obviously, Mike D'Antoni, he's

Speaker 1 three? Yeah, he was on the staff in 2015, 2016. He went to the Western Conference final with the the Rockets.
Monty Williams, coach of the Suns, who now is laying an egg, was on the staff.

Speaker 1 He went to the Western Conference Finals, went to the finals. And Imei Adoka now is going to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Speaker 1 So as they wrestle with Brent Brown and Doc Rivers, they had three guys who, at least two of the three guys, because you could throw out the Mike Dantoni because I think he was there just for like almost a sabbatical year.

Speaker 1 The other two guys are better coaches than they've had in their former coach and their current coach.

Speaker 4 But Ime is also the only African-American head coach of the Celtics to ever advance to a conference final.

Speaker 1 Big day for Jay Williams. Huge day.
Huge day. Huge for Jay Williams.
Did you see that stat, by the way, Hank, that the Celtics have now been to half of the

Speaker 1 Eastern Conference finals? That's crazy.

Speaker 4 That's disgusting.

Speaker 1 That's crazy. Do you ever, Hank, do you ever just wake up?

Speaker 4 Do you ever just wake up in the morning and thank God that you're a Boston sports fan?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, being home is like the greatest thing in the world. I love being in Boston.
It's a beautiful day. The city is alive, and it's just like, I wish, I just love it here.
Team Hayes.

Speaker 3 Greatest city in the world.

Speaker 4 You must have been like Mother Teresa in a former life to get born. Team Hayes.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And then, could you imagine that guy who has all that getting that triggered over a double fist pump? I'm not joking.
I think you're not going to be able to do that.

Speaker 1 That's the worst part, Big Cat.

Speaker 4 People say, act like you've been there before. Remember when I sprayed champagne during the Capitol Stanley Cup run after they won one game in the finals? And they're like, act like you've been there.

Speaker 4 I'd literally never been there before.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right.

Speaker 4 Hank, you just said out loud, you've been to half the Eastern Conference finals. You, above all, anyone else, should know to act like you've been there before.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I think that's what someone that's been there before does. It's a perfectly normal reaction.

Speaker 1 And now you get your double kryptonite because the Heat, I think, are 2-0 against the Celtics in the Eastern Conference final. And you have Jake Marsh, who's like a billion-0 against Henry Lockwood.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, I'm excited. I'm ready.

Speaker 3 I think if they steal one in Miami, then they'll win the series.

Speaker 4 We'll talk a little bit more about the road trip that Jake and I went on down to D.C., but this is directly relevant to you here, Hank.

Speaker 4 Jake, at one point, looked at me and he was like, you know, like, now that you're in sports, does it, like, the wins mean, like, a little bit less to you when your team does well?

Speaker 4 As he's beating me in the hockey game. So, like, he knows, he knows that

Speaker 1 Jake is.

Speaker 4 I think that you said something along those lines where you were like, it's not as meaningful.

Speaker 4 Now that you're in sports, in the sports media world. Oh, about myself.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Oh, yes. I thought you said I was saying that about you.

Speaker 1 no not no no no no yeah yeah see you're doing it again right now yeah you see no i was just confused i was confused no i said like on what i want to do in my long-term career like you have to become more neutral like obviously i'm always going to rep my teams but living and dying and

Speaker 4 you could care less that you just destroyed pft's will to live exactly no that's that's the message loud and clear yep the biggest alpha in the office yep That's a fact.

Speaker 1 That's a fact.

Speaker 1 Okay, anything else? I mean,

Speaker 1 the Suns game is officially... I mean, it's been over, but

Speaker 1 it's as dead as a team.

Speaker 1 We'd have to look back in history, like, what team has laid this type of egg in game seven?

Speaker 1 At home,

Speaker 1 it's shocking. It's absolutely shocking.
Chris Paul, still three points.

Speaker 4 The biggest egg possible.

Speaker 1 It's crazy. Yes, CP3.
Do you think he's hurt? Should we say he's hurt?

Speaker 4 I think Chris Paul is too healthy. I think that's probably

Speaker 4 confused. His body doesn't know how to react right now because it's like, wait, my left wrist should be hurting right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this might be, I might have to watch this press conference afterwards. It hasn't, I don't, I'm not a big press conference watcher unless it's like LeBron losing in an epic fashion.

Speaker 4 He still hasn't done his QA.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he still hasn't done his QA.

Speaker 1 Also, just spent all Friday the 13th watching scary movies. And there's our LeBron bingo board for everyone keeping scored home.

Speaker 4 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 1 Team Hank is back. Go ahead, Team Hank.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Team Hank is back. He might have not got a who's back.
Game seven hockey, overtimes. Yeah.
Pittsburgh,

Speaker 3 congratulations. I'm calling it right now

Speaker 3 for the Penguins.

Speaker 4 Wow. How dare you?

Speaker 1 That's your who's back?

Speaker 4 Well, it's not an overtime yet.

Speaker 1 Game's still going.

Speaker 1 This is some good who's podcasting.

Speaker 4 La Crosse is back.

Speaker 1 Oh, there's

Speaker 4 back. Sport of the future.

Speaker 3 La Crosse is back.

Speaker 1 Can the Sport of the future be back?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, it's that time of year. It's like whenever the season's starting, the PLL is starting soon.
The college team's in the championship.

Speaker 4 Didn't we pick up some guy in the draft?

Speaker 6 Yeah, the Water Dogs actually had a really good draft.

Speaker 4 What's our grade?

Speaker 6 I give us an A-plus.

Speaker 1 Okay, cool. What about the Whipsnakes?

Speaker 6 Whipsnakes, I mean, as one of the reigning champions in the first inaugural years of the league, they didn't have that good of picks, but I think the Red Wolves are still the Red Woods are still the team to beat.

Speaker 4 Just give me a grade, Billy. I just need a draft grade.

Speaker 6 Give them a B- for the Whipsnakes. Okay.

Speaker 1 Anyone get an F?

Speaker 1 Atlas, Chrome, Chrome. Chrome, Chrome Grand Act.
I do your reaction.

Speaker 1 Can we put out a

Speaker 4 list of our draft grades memes?

Speaker 1 Yes. All right, thank you.

Speaker 4 Just give everybody else a C.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Good job, Hank, with your who's back.
LaClair is back. Thank you.

Speaker 1 PFT, your who's back.

Speaker 4 My who's back of the week is Danny Woodhead. Yes.
My guy, Danny Woodhead, our guy, Danny Woodhead, one of the OG part of my take, recurring guests.

Speaker 4 Maybe the best athlete that we've ever had on this show. He is very close to qualifying for the U.S.
Open in golf.

Speaker 4 Very close.

Speaker 4 He came in, I think, second or third place in the second final qualifying tournament last weekend. So if he finishes, I think it's like top five at the next tournament that he's in.
He's in the U.S.

Speaker 4 Open. Danny Woodhead's going to be playing the U.S.
Open. It's crazy.
I have full confidence in Danny. And

Speaker 4 I sent him a congratulatory note afterwards. I was like, hey, man, this is super impressive.
And he told me, this is honestly the best athletic thing that I've ever done in my life.

Speaker 4 He's better than Tony Romo at golf.

Speaker 1 Right. And it is kind of crazy to think about how many people play golf.
I mean, obviously making the NFL is insane, but he's an exceptional athlete.

Speaker 1 And then to transition and be this good at golf, it's fucking nuts, man.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you see the, I think it was a birdie putt on 17 that he had, had an all-time walk-off celebration on it, walked it in like Tiger Woods.

Speaker 1 Yeah, did a little ass slap.

Speaker 4 Yeah, Danny is a legit golfer. And I sometimes do this, but I tweeted without thinking.
And I said that if he makes the cut at the U.S. Open, I will cut every hair off my body.

Speaker 4 Because the original bet was

Speaker 4 I was going to wait to cut my hair, my long hair, until Danny Woodhead won a Super Bowl. Your Patriots couldn't get done for him, Hank.
So unfortunately, that never happened.

Speaker 4 But if he makes a cut, every hair except for my eyebrows is coming off. The eyebrows,

Speaker 4 eyebrows stay on. Soft.
Why is that soft, Billy?

Speaker 6 Real men take their eyebrows off.

Speaker 1 My eyebrows are.

Speaker 1 If you are going to do every hair, you got to do every hair. That's the best part of my body.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, it is. You go.
I love my eyebrows.

Speaker 4 Everyone knows I've got great eyebrows.

Speaker 1 Just draw them on. Draw them on for a little.
No.

Speaker 4 Eyebrows stay.

Speaker 1 Eyelashes come off.

Speaker 4 I'll cut the eyelashes, but not the eyebrows.

Speaker 1 That would be freaky. Do those go back?

Speaker 1 Sons are down 42 going into the fifth. It's major week, by the way, for golf.
EJ Championship. Yes.
It's Holstein.

Speaker 4 I saw some of the beer prices that they have.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. People were freaking out about it.

Speaker 4 It's going to be tough. There are going to be a lot of angry Oklahomans out there.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 It's like $18 for a beer. Coors Light would never do that, dude.

Speaker 1 Bring in a fucking flask.

Speaker 4 Sneak a flask, yeah.

Speaker 1 It's not that hard.

Speaker 1 Okay, my Who's Back of the Week is the Cincinnati Reds. For the sixth time in MLB history, they had a no-hitter and they lost.

Speaker 4 Not to be the fact-checker.

Speaker 1 Oh, I know that they didn't technically pitch the ninth. Yeah, so it's still

Speaker 4 crazy. It's funny watching all the big J's out there carefully phrasing it.
They allowed no hits. Right.

Speaker 1 And they lost. Because they didn't pitch the bottom of the ninth because they lost.
But all time, like,

Speaker 1 if the red season couldn't get worse, you have this happen where in the eighth inning, they had three consecutive walks and then a fielder's choice double play that they weren't able to, if they had gotten the double play, it would have stayed scoreless.

Speaker 1 But they weren't able to complete the double play. So they lost one to nothing and gave up no hits.

Speaker 4 It's so perfect that it happened to the Pirates, too. I know.
Like the unstoppable force meets the immovable object. Yes.
That's the only team that this could possibly happen to.

Speaker 1 Yes. And my other who's back is my voice.
I got my voice back. I slept, and I got my voice back.
So thanks to everyone who was like, I want to kill myself.

Speaker 1 I want my voice to be back so bad that I actually made a doctor's appointment. How about you like that? I hope I fucking have cancer.

Speaker 1 So everyone who says shit to me, that I can just shove it back in their face. You don't mean that.
No, but it would dunk on all the wood. Knocked on some wood? I'd pull up all the fucking tweets.

Speaker 1 I'd like to knock on that wood. People would be like, I can't stand your voice.

Speaker 1 And I'd be like, fuck you, dude.

Speaker 4 Knock on that wood.

Speaker 1 I got a real problem. No, but I'm back.

Speaker 4 Billy's doing a great job pretending that he hopes that you don't have cancer. Yes, thank you, Billy.

Speaker 1 Billy's like, all right, so is that seat? I'll probably lower it a little because he sits too high. It's right next to the beer fridge, which is sick.

Speaker 4 Like, Loki, that's the seat that I want.

Speaker 1 But I'm going to see a doctor and see what I can do to not lose my voice all the time. But I am back right now.
Felt good, slept. Felt good.

Speaker 1 Feels good to have my voice back. Thank you for everyone who's actually concerned, not people who are just bitching.

Speaker 4 I was never concerned.

Speaker 1 All right. I appreciate that.
But yeah, no, there were some people that got me triggered because it's like, you don't think I care? You think I'm just.

Speaker 1 It would be one thing if I was like partying and like smoking sigs and partying all the time and had no voice. That would be a lot cooler.
A lot cooler.

Speaker 1 I just lost my voice because I don't sleep and we work a million hours. Oh, these Suns fans are so sad.
Get ready to get tagged, PFT.

Speaker 1 As cool as they were when we watched them in the finals, they are very sad.

Speaker 4 The funniest guy in that building right now is the dude that's dressed in the neon orange suit that also put bronzer all over his body. He's just, he went went to the game as a son.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Like dressed up as a son.

Speaker 1 He looks bad. He looks bad right now.

Speaker 1 This is one of those moments where we're watching live as they go through sad suns fans.

Speaker 4 That lady's asleep.

Speaker 1 I would absolutely leave. I don't think there's any shame in leaving because guess what? If the team on the court quits, you can quit too.

Speaker 4 At least you still have Kyler Murray.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you have September and October. Yeah.

Speaker 4 At least, hey, at least you have DeAndre Hopkins is coming back for you guys this year. There we go.
That'll be nice.

Speaker 1 That would be really nice. Yeah.
Big free agent pickup.

Speaker 4 Billy.

Speaker 6 My who's back is Trash Pandas at the Arkansas vs. Vanderbilt College Baseball game.
Oh, I saw it.

Speaker 6 There was a raccoon running through the stands, and one brave gentleman by the name of Grant Harmon just grabbed the raccoon and just held it up for the whole crowd to see.

Speaker 6 It was a pretty awesome moment.

Speaker 4 Grant is such an obvious name for somebody that would be the person to handle the raccoon. It's like it's going to be a Grant or it's going to be a Zach.

Speaker 6 It was reported he had no prior experience grabbing raccoons and he was bitten several times by the raccoon.

Speaker 1 Oh, Jesus.

Speaker 6 And immediately after the game, he had to go to the ER to get his first round of rabies shots, which I bring to the question: why do dogs and other animals have vaccines that are one shot for rabies?

Speaker 6 But when humans might get in contact with rabies, they had to take like six rounds of shots.

Speaker 4 And then you got to get another booster.

Speaker 4 Another booster after that because it's conspiracy. Probably all Pfizer.

Speaker 1 Dogs get rabies vaccines

Speaker 1 like they get them over and over. They get them every year.

Speaker 4 So why don't we do that?

Speaker 1 I think we have one that's just

Speaker 1 Billy.

Speaker 6 Rabies is.

Speaker 1 But if a dog got bit by a raccoon, it also would have to go to the hospital.

Speaker 4 But Billy,

Speaker 4 if you told everybody in America they had to get a yearly rabies shot. Yeah.

Speaker 4 How many people do you think would follow through with that?

Speaker 4 A lot. You think so? No.

Speaker 6 I'm pretty sure pest control guys have to get rabies shots.

Speaker 1 Stephen Colbert would have been commercialized. You all have rabies vaccine.
You're a kid.

Speaker 1 Not me, bro. No, bro.

Speaker 1 Is that not it?

Speaker 4 No, MMR is measles, mumps, rubella.

Speaker 1 I thought there was something

Speaker 4 tetanus? Yeah, tetanus. Tetanus.

Speaker 6 Remember that one time I woke up with a bat in my barn? Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was like,

Speaker 1 I played.

Speaker 1 I played roulette.

Speaker 6 It was like, I'm either going to die of rabies in six months or I have to go to the hospital to get these shots every three months. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But dogs get rabies vaccines every year. You do get your dog.
I think it's every year. You do do that.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but why can't they do that for humans? I think it's every other year that you get the new tag for your dog.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 We should actually, Billy, you should, if anybody on earth should get like a a prophylactic rabies shot, a preventative one just in case, it should be you.

Speaker 1 Do you think anyone's selling fake dog vaccines for rabies?

Speaker 1 That'd be pretty fucked up.

Speaker 1 Probably, yeah. Someone's like, I don't believe in vaccinations for my dog.
So I'm going to, like, there's a black market of you can get a fake test.

Speaker 1 Yeah, for sure. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Um, also, what's the opposite of like a bad beat?

Speaker 1 It's a backdoor cover. Or a lucky win.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 Well, that's what's back.

Speaker 6 If you guys watched UFC on Saturday, black blackovic uh had an absolute backdoor cover when he was uh like the money dog by a long shot and his opponent ray kicks like he's i bet on him i was like this dude jan is gonna win first round he got his ass beat was bleeding everywhere second round raykick just like blew out his knee and it was like oh the craziest comeback win that actually the the the like who there was some famous guy maybe it was jose aldo who broke his leg.

Speaker 1 Cold Rangers. Cold Rangers.

Speaker 1 No, that's a replay. That's a replay.
That's a replay. That's a replay.
No, that's a really bad reason. You're thinking.

Speaker 1 That's a replay.

Speaker 6 You're thinking about Anderson Silver. On your back.

Speaker 1 Yes. Who broke his leg and it was just, well, that fucking sucks if you bet on him.
Also, did you realize that every bad beat, the other side, is a lucky win? Yes. That's true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 That is true.

Speaker 1 It's always bad. It was a bad bad beat.
It was a bad beat. It feels good, right? For the other guy.

Speaker 1 Very bad beat.

Speaker 6 I don't feel that bad because it was MCL, LCL. Those are like a couple weeks.

Speaker 1 What would you I don't feel that bad.

Speaker 6 ACL, if it was like a bad

Speaker 1 donated money?

Speaker 6 No, no, I wouldn't have even mentioned it. But like, you can deal with MCL, LCL.

Speaker 4 It's not that bad. Just walk it off.

Speaker 1 The idea of Billy winning money because the guy like blew out his knee and he's like, I can't take this money.

Speaker 1 This is his blood money. I can't have this.

Speaker 6 Also, my last who's back is Ben Mintz. Ben Mintz is back.

Speaker 1 Literally in the city of New York.

Speaker 6 Yeah, he's back. I can't wait to go home.
How long? I don't know. But the tour is

Speaker 1 three days.

Speaker 6 I can't wait to go back. I think I'm going to give him a tape worm.
I think that's how we're going to get him. Yeah, we have the dozen.

Speaker 1 Everyone tune into the dozen trivia. I think it starts next week.

Speaker 4 Yeah, we're taping the episodes this week throughout the office.

Speaker 1 But Jeff D. Lowe, who most of you probably know, sent an email to everyone telling him what their schedule was, which he had already done.

Speaker 1 And when I came in the office tonight, he's like, yeah, that was just an email for Ben Mintz because he texted me saying, what time is my game on Monday night?

Speaker 1 And he's like, your game is literally the first game at 10 a.m.

Speaker 1 So who's back of the week ben mints me and hank playing each other round one there we go yeah it's gonna be fun talking about rattled pfd is rattled how am i rattled you're trying to figure out who my third third teammate is oh i know who your third teammate is on a scale of one fist pump to two how rattled uh well that's normal that'd be perfectly normal scale but he's very rattled two fist pumps two fist pumps not rattled got it um no two fist pumps and you don't know it's very rattled and and you don't know who it is um okay jake your who's back of the week my who's back is a potential who's back, and it's Drew Brees.

Speaker 1 He hinted that he could be returning to football. He could go back to NBC.
He could be focusing on business and philanthropy.

Speaker 1 Training for

Speaker 1 pickleball. You're just burying golf.
You're burying the story. Coaching his kids.
What, that he's out on NBC? Yeah, because he sucked at his job.

Speaker 1 But I don't think anyone expected him to hint it. Usually when someone hints at they're coming back to play, they're probably going to coach it.

Speaker 1 Well, I think he's probably embarrassed and he's like, shit, I got to figure out what to do.

Speaker 4 He thought that he was going to be Chris Collinsworth next year. And so they're like, well, we already have Chris Collinsworth.
Right.

Speaker 4 So I don't know what you're going to be doing besides exactly what you did last year, which you weren't happy with. So now he's thinking that he might come back to the NFL.

Speaker 4 I actually, I hope that he comes back to the NFL and that he goes to the Dolphins to make up for the Dolphins organization. Right.

Speaker 4 Sorry that we took Dante Culpeper instead of you.

Speaker 1 Let's try to run it back. But I don't know.
Like if you're a Dolphins receiver, to go from a rocket arm of Tua to Drew Brees would be a tough adjustment.

Speaker 4 Yeah, like Drew Brees, he gets down there, he might hypothetically underthrow you by 15 yards in mini-camps and make, like, if you're Tyreek Hill, make you wait around for seven seconds to catch a pass before you run with it.

Speaker 1 Dude, Tua got done so dirty with that clip. How do you do that with OTAs and like there's, you get to decide the highlights.
Somebody, you decide it.

Speaker 4 Somebody in their media department does not like Tua very much.

Speaker 1 I'm convinced it could be one of those, like, oh, that's like that quote about

Speaker 1 the Bengals receiver, Jamar Chase. And everyone's like, oh, he's going to stink.
I'm convinced. Yeah.
It was done on purpose. Tunon.
Love it. Love it.
Yeah. Also, I'm going to put a future.

Speaker 1 If the Heat beat the Celtics, we as a podcast have to put a future on the Dolphins. Yeah, Jake is.
Whoa, whoa, Hank.

Speaker 1 Hank is very confident.

Speaker 1 Hank wasn't listening there.

Speaker 1 You just said

Speaker 3 that I said it, and then I. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 Uh-oh.

Speaker 1 Cut that. We'll cut that.

Speaker 1 You said if the Heat beat the Celtics, then you said when, but if the Heat beat the Celtics, I think we as a podcast need to put a future on the Dolphins Dolphins to win the Super Bowl because

Speaker 1 Jake's destiny was to just beat everyone.

Speaker 4 But I will say running through us all.

Speaker 1 I am not excited to go against Hank right now.

Speaker 1 This is perfect. Yeah, let it out.

Speaker 1 No, he, yeah. I'm scared of Hank right now.
Right. I think we all should be.
Right. Yeah.
Yeah, he almost got me fired because I fucking tweeted that clip of him spazzing out on the wood.

Speaker 3 I didn't

Speaker 3 know that.

Speaker 1 I literally tweeted that clip 15 minutes later. Erica had an email in my inbox being like, what's this clip?

Speaker 1 Like, you know that you can't bash our C-suite employees. And I was like, fuck.

Speaker 4 No, I'm just excited for the AWLs.

Speaker 1 This is, this is what they want.

Speaker 1 Hank, are you afraid of Jake?

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 1 You have to be.

Speaker 4 But, like, it's one of those things where,

Speaker 3 and, and it, again, like, it'll sound worse if they lose, but

Speaker 3 I am riding hyde. I do have some momentum that I don't normally have.
Like,

Speaker 3 I'm going to try and ride it. I have more momentum than usual.
So hopefully that train just runs Jake over.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Let's get to busting with the boys. Great interview.
Before we do that, PFT, you got a quick word from one of our sponsors.

Speaker 7 The Pro Football Football Show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.
Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on very special guests, our good, good friends. It is Will Compton, is Taylor Luan, the boys, coming all the way to New York.
Look, they're doing a little handshake right now.

Speaker 1 So they came all the way to New York from Nashville. We were trying to plan this for a very long time.
It was, you know, a big deal because Will.

Speaker 1 Well, I'll let you take the floor. Will is going to retire from the NFL, and we wanted him to announce it on our show.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 So go ahead, Will.

Speaker 1 This has all been planned. That's all fake news.
What are you? Oh, you're playing. Willie's alive and well.

Speaker 1 Matter of fact,

Speaker 1 dude, you said you're like, I want to come to New York and do a big deal, and we'll do Times Square. I know what I said.
So you're staying in the NFL? Oh, absolutely. Oh, okay.

Speaker 4 If you say that you're retiring, though, it's like a boxer when they say they're going to retire and stop fighting. It just makes people want them more.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 For sure. But we have a platform that if that did happen.

Speaker 1 Wait, but all right. Well, we need someone's retirement so taylor are you gonna do it no god come on now i'm gonna retire from the nfl yeah i'm out i'm taking my main measures man

Speaker 1 you retire right now yeah okay i'm retiring from the nfl okay oh shit you want done all right i am too big cat all right

Speaker 1 will

Speaker 1 ah year 10 baby we're

Speaker 1 so

Speaker 1 we had a pact will we were all gonna retire at the same time oh man

Speaker 1 it's great to see you guys great to have you in the studio what do you think i mean

Speaker 1 Taylor already, like, made fun of us. He's like, I thought the studio would be bigger.
Yeah, I didn't want to do this. I want to start like this.

Speaker 1 And, like, I've always said in my head, when you walk in, because we've had some issues recently, and we've kind of come back from a rocky, from a rocky deal. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I told myself when I walked in, hey, be nice and play nice and have fun. And here I am right before we start.
I go, oh, I thought it'd be bigger. I gave myself a pep talk this morning.

Speaker 1 I just looked in the mirror and I was like, you're for the boys. You're for the boys.
Just remember, you're for the boys. And it wasn't.

Speaker 1 Even though they ripped off literally literally everything you've ever done with your podcast,

Speaker 1 you're for the boys.

Speaker 1 I gave that. No, I said that to myself.

Speaker 5 And now I'm for the boys. I understand that you said that to yourself, but I don't understand why you got to lie to yourself in the mirror.
That's true.

Speaker 1 What? Oh, I'm not for the boys? No, not the boys.

Speaker 4 Why don't you clear that up? Because I feel like a lot of people out there, they see the slogan for the boys, and they're like, wait, what does that mean?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 5 Yeah. Oh, shit.
That's super innovative. That is crazy.
I've never...

Speaker 5 For the boys, what a unique slogan.

Speaker 1 I don't think those three words have ever been put together for me. Wait, sorry, let me do it.

Speaker 1 Hypothetical. hypothetical.
Let's say two days from now. It's Saturday morning.

Speaker 1 Is it for the boys?

Speaker 5 Saturdays are always for the boys.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. All right.

Speaker 5 That's a barstool thing, yeah.

Speaker 1 Are you guys also for the girls or can boys be girls too? Girl dads. Boys can be girls.

Speaker 4 Boys can be girls.

Speaker 1 Girls can be girls. Girls can be boys.
It's 2022. Yeah, we're all girl dads, right?

Speaker 1 So what the fuck? We got to be for the girls. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Are you a girl dad? I don't like this.

Speaker 1 I don't like how this is starting. Will

Speaker 1 this is like

Speaker 1 this is exactly what Adolf Hitler did. He just came in.
He just tried to come in. And that's what you guys are doing.

Speaker 1 We don't have a sentence in. Were you a history major? I didn't get a sentence in.
I was a general studies major. I know a little bit about everything.
Remarkably, I got a little bit of everything.

Speaker 1 I really feel like you guys are coming in pretty strong. And if I stop talking for a minute, all of a sudden you're going to start talking.
And I can no longer gather my thoughts.

Speaker 1 We talked about filibustering. We talked about filibustering.
There's no way Brady Hook made you go to class. Brady Hook absolutely did.
And if I didn't have six AMs,

Speaker 1 can I ask a real question, bro? Yeah, okay. I think let's start the show.
This is a real question. Real quick.
Start the show.

Speaker 1 When things were going bad,

Speaker 1 did anyone in the locker room like, Brady, maybe throw on a headset?

Speaker 1 That's a great point. That is a great point.
Because it's one of those, it's very similar to a fat reliever. A fat reliever comes in, and if he shoves, everyone's like, love this guy.

Speaker 1 The minute he sucks, like Joe Blanton, when he would pitch and he'd give up runs, everyone would be like, you fat fuck. Right.

Speaker 1 Brady Hoke, when he doesn't have the headset on, he's like, leader of men, everything's going well. When he doesn't, it's like, dude, do you even know there's a game going on?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think you answered the question yourself. But I will say, like,

Speaker 1 when he first came in, it was right after Rich Rod got fired and we went to the Sugar Bowl, won the Sugar Bowl, kicked it, boom, it was amazing.

Speaker 1 And then the next year, when things were kind of going downhill a little bit, it was, like you said, at first it was like cute and fun.

Speaker 1 And I think that everyone's going to look around going, seems a little fucked up now. Seems like he should be

Speaker 1 telling us what to do.

Speaker 1 I want to say he was a good coach.

Speaker 1 I mean, he was a good guy. I think it was great to be around.
Well, not backtracking. He backtracked.
Even better person.

Speaker 4 You never want to say that about a coach, by the way. You never want to to be like, you know what? He was a great coach, but an even better person.

Speaker 4 That always means that's code for he sucked as a coach.

Speaker 1 Oh, I didn't say that. That wasn't what I said, right? He retracted the good coach party.
You just said he's a good guy. He's actually a good guy and a good coach.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's doing great at San Diego State. He's back in San Diego State now? Yeah, he's the head coach of San Diego State.
He's had some pretty good years. Boom.
So he's a good coach.

Speaker 1 And he was interim coach at Tennessee, Go Valley. I got you.
So good for him.

Speaker 1 He was at Oregon for a little bit. I think he did well.
He's doing a lot better than Rich Rodriguez is doing now. Those are my two college coaches.
That's true. You know what I'm saying? That's true.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I picked the lesser. So what do you think of Rich? How are are you? I thought Rich was soft.

Speaker 1 I thought Rich was deceived. Thanks, Will.
I'll be honest with you, I wasn't a huge fan of Rich. Yeah.
I wasn't like. There's a lot of people that are.

Speaker 1 Now we're getting some of that. Listen, it was one of those things.
Like I came in. He was a little rough on me my first year and my second.
I red-shirted and then the next year. What does that mean?

Speaker 1 It wasn't rough. What is like a little rough? Because that is a serious question.

Speaker 1 Well, I think when you're a freshman in college, and especially if you redshirt, like you're really, you have zero value to the team at that point. You're like, you're redshirting.

Speaker 1 I was 254 pounds coming in. Picking up a scholarship.
Right. So, yeah, I'm taking a scholarship away.
So it was kind of like, we got to weed out the weak type of mentality.

Speaker 1 Mike Borrows was there, who was the strength coach. He had his own TV show for a little bit.
I think it was on Discovery. And

Speaker 1 it was definitely like a, let's see who's going to quit first five. So they were pretty hard on us our first year.
The next year, things just weren't going well.

Speaker 1 So I didn't get to see like a good, like, I didn't think I ever saw Rich Rodriguez smile when he was at Michigan.

Speaker 1 He had a great job at West Virginia, was doing well at U of A until, you know, things, until deals happened.

Speaker 1 But I just don't think he got a fair shake at Michigan. Because, you know, Michigan, the Big Ten is so caught up in their downhill power offense type deal.
Wisconsin knows all about it.

Speaker 1 And then we bring Rich Rodriguez in after Lloyd Carr, and Rich Rodriguez is spreading.

Speaker 4 He's got five guys, you know, out wide.

Speaker 1 And we're running like no tight end sets. We're only 10 personnel and running like no huddle.
So everyone in Michigan is like, what the fuck are we doing?

Speaker 4 You better win fast if you're going to do that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you got to win. We don't win fast, and it's like this.
And we just didn't have the chance to do that. Like Denard Robinson was a huge get, but he was young, and

Speaker 1 which was fired before Denard really came into his own. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Were you on the team against Appalachian State?

Speaker 1 No, that was 2008 or 2007.

Speaker 4 Is that still talked about?

Speaker 1 It is with any Appalachian State guy that's on our team. Like on the Titans, there was a kid.
What was this kid's name?

Speaker 4 Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 1 That's like their greatest answer ever. I know.
It's crazy to always get brought up. It's wild.
And it is one of those things, like, you don't want to.

Speaker 1 Like, we were playing Toledo my senior year, and we almost lost at Toledo. And it was one of those things, like, fuck, we almost had an app state deal happen right there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you're like, example, like, for every team. Yeah, every team.
Don't be at Michigan in that situation. I know.
But hey, I'll put Michigan right now, though.

Speaker 1 Only hope for the Big Ten.

Speaker 5 I mean, what have you done for us lately?

Speaker 1 Exactly. Do you guys even have the money? He won the Big Ten rivalry like that.
I always won the Big Ten ball. Yeah, we got donkey against Georgia, but that doesn't mean nothing.
LeBron, come on now.

Speaker 1 It means nothing. Nebraska would have lost back.
I have not yet

Speaker 1 been way close to sex.

Speaker 5 But I'm saying, like, guys like Big Cat and I, we needed.

Speaker 1 Don't do this. this.
I'm saying, okay, schools like Wisconsin and Nebraska.

Speaker 5 We needed Michigan to put on a better show in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 And I agree.

Speaker 5 You guys were a great representation of the Big Ten. I was fired up.
I was like, okay, Michigan, these boys got a shot. If they come out not flat, they got a shot, dude.

Speaker 5 And what happened?

Speaker 1 It just, I think, like, I think it like embarrasses. I'm rider die.

Speaker 1 Listen, I'm Ride or Die, Big Ten. We need to get another title soon.
And it might be, it probably is going to have to be Ohio State.

Speaker 1 I'm just being honest.

Speaker 1 I'm a very honest Big Ten fan. When people are like, oh, remember last year when they did the whole COVID thing and they won the tiebreaker with Indiana and Indiana fans were going crazy.

Speaker 1 Like, dude, we got to be in the playoff every year to stay relevant. The Pac-12 is no longer relevant.
0% relevant. Ohio State, as much as I hate them, they are the best chance every year.

Speaker 1 They are.

Speaker 1 They're consistently the best chance.

Speaker 1 I think this year will be a huge determining factor for Michigan. I agree.
As far as being momentum forward. Like you did it once,

Speaker 1 and that might have been a fluke. People are saying, not me, people are saying, if you do it again,

Speaker 1 when I'm finished, I'll exhale.

Speaker 1 If you can do it again, if you can fucking do it one more time, then it's like, okay, now we got something. Now we're ripping it up.
And we have two teams that are relevant, Ohio State and Michigan.

Speaker 1 Then we need to, like, I think the next in line would be a Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 I think Wisconsin would probably be the next in line of those. They've won the most big 10 games besides Ohio State in the last decade.
Yeah, but there's...

Speaker 4 That's one of those stats that Big Cat just carries around with him. I mean,

Speaker 4 that's waiting to bust out.

Speaker 1 That's dude.

Speaker 1 Hardworking, but low ceiling. Yeah.
Not Ohio State, Wisconsin. I feel that way.
I was going to say, what? No, no. Ohio State's nothing like that.
My bad.

Speaker 4 Are you a little bit embarrassed about the Run the Damn Ball t-shirts that got worn last year and then they just got their dicks put in the dirt?

Speaker 1 Whose did?

Speaker 4 The offensive line of Michigan. Right before that game against Georgia, right?

Speaker 1 And then we didn't run it very well at all. Not like, yeah.
Kind of live and die by that sword. Yeah.
I mean,

Speaker 4 I like the way that Michigan was built last year. I like the physicality of the offensive line.
I feel like that's what you have to do if you're Michigan.

Speaker 4 You can't be Ohio State, right? You have to be Michigan and play the type of football that has gotten your program to the way it is.

Speaker 4 I do think that there is something that has to do with culture that gets passed down.

Speaker 4 I don't think that a team can immediately change, even if you have a great coach like they tried with Rich Rod, a guy that'll come in and change entirely what you guys have always been about.

Speaker 4 So I like what you did last year. I don't know if

Speaker 4 that's going to be a type of football that's sustainable moving forward, though, as all the rules continue to get changed to favor the passing game.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think you need to keep that same mentality on the offensive line.

Speaker 1 They won the Joe Moore Award last year, which the best offensive line in the NCA that did not show when they were playing against Georgia. Georgia had, what, 15 guys go in drafts? That's crazy.

Speaker 1 It was unbelievable. Their defense was an anomaly, right? It was like Alabama every other year.
So I guess it's not an anomaly, except for Alabama.

Speaker 1 But I think the only way for that to be sustainable is you just have to get some more speed on the outside. Still be who you are in the run game.

Speaker 1 But if you have more speed on the outside to run a couple thinking, like you can a quick little throw it to this small, fast guy, let him get going, those types of things, you're playing a whole different game.

Speaker 1 Darren Sproll's place.

Speaker 1 Yeah. All right.
So moving off football for a second. How are we feeling overall with the podcast? You guys have been, it feels like you guys are crushing it right now.

Speaker 1 It does feel that way, doesn't it? Yeah. It does feel that way.
It does. It does.
I feel like we've kind of made it.

Speaker 4 Your YouTube numbers are pretty crazy, right?

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, it depends on what crazy is.

Speaker 1 You you know what i mean i mean if we're compared to joe rogan we're definitely not doing anything well if everyone's compared to joe rogan yeah we're not doing shit

Speaker 1 i think you guys no no i mean joe rogan's in a different stratosphere billy's using us as a stepping stone to eventually get hired by joe rogan that dude's in a different that'd be cool stratosphere you think that's possible long game

Speaker 1 absolutely long game son what would you guys say though is like the big thing that it has felt like i i mean maybe i'm way off but it does feel like maybe the last i don't know six months or so it feels like it's hit a spot where it's it's very consistently good every time and you you guys have felt a groove.

Speaker 1 Again, you can tell me that's way wrong, but it does feel that way. Is there anything that you can point to?

Speaker 5 Man, I don't know. That's a good question.
I do feel like we've been hitting a good stride. Like sometimes guests move the needle for you for sure.

Speaker 5 And then when those audiences of other guests watch us, you retain a little bit of them. Right.
And then they kind of ride with you the rest of the time.

Speaker 5 But I do feel like we've been hitting like a good stride.

Speaker 1 Like it's tough.

Speaker 5 I feel like we got a great lineup of guests. PFT, you got to come on.
Big K, you actually got to come to the next one.

Speaker 1 I mean, you you tried to kill me in that fucking bus. When I was on that bus, Taylor, it was no joke.
It was the most perfect day in Knoxville, Tennessee. Like the most perfect fall day.
It was

Speaker 1 probably 59 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, that crisp, beautiful air. You know what I mean? Yeah, it sounds good.
I went in the bus. Bus was like 140 degrees.
Yeah. And I was

Speaker 1 sweating so much. Show them heat proteins.
Dude,

Speaker 1 I have never had a podcast where I was like, I'm actually having a great time, but if I don't drink something right now, I will pass out. Brandon almost did.
Yeah, he did.

Speaker 5 You should complain the whole time.

Speaker 4 Can you imagine the numbers that episode would do if you killed Big Cat on the bus?

Speaker 1 Like, on the bus.

Speaker 4 Watching him die during a podcast.

Speaker 1 Still, yeah, still really. Like, that's how you guys got to think.

Speaker 5 Big Cat would want us to release his episode.

Speaker 1 Yeah. My dad, right here, right now.
I'd hope you guys would release it.

Speaker 4 Yeah, see, you guys are trapped in the old school thinking and mentalities.

Speaker 4 You got to get a little bit more cutthroat and understand that actually hurting your guests sometimes is good for numbers in the outcome.

Speaker 1 hurting our guests physically, yeah, and mentally. And mentally, too.
Mentally, more

Speaker 1 noon right now. Because you're thinking in your head, did I tell him I was going to retire? Yeah, you haven't really perked back up since the beginning.
That is what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 We all retired.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if you returned to the children retired.

Speaker 1 We literally retired four year old.

Speaker 5 If you guys need me to retire, like, I'll find out.

Speaker 1 Nah, we don't want it. It's too late now.
All right, good. That'd be like trying to pay hard.
Go ahead and retire.

Speaker 4 I also think what you guys have discovered.

Speaker 1 I'm gonna fuck football, man. I'll retire right now.

Speaker 1 Fuck this.

Speaker 5 You're fucking done with this game, dude.

Speaker 1 All right, I'm back.

Speaker 4 I ran to these guys at the coffee shop next door before we came into work, and I was telling them that

Speaker 4 they actually found their way into

Speaker 1 a hack of

Speaker 4 a secret way to just get engagement and numbers no matter what in the podcast and content game. And that is to have a strong opinion about a fast food burger location.

Speaker 4 And so playoff Willie over here hates In-N-Out. I actually think that Hank is skipping this interview because he's so triggered by your opinion on In-N-Out.

Speaker 4 He will make us, I think he's made us drive an hour out of our way to get In-N-Out.

Speaker 4 We usually have to get it right after we get off the airplane in Los Angeles, right before we get to the airport when we're leaving Los Angeles. He is obsessed with In-N Out.

Speaker 4 You hate In-N-Out, and now everyone's either mad at you or loves you.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I mean, I think, like, when you had to travel an hour to go get In-N-Out, Billy, were you part of this? Big Cat, were you part of it?

Speaker 1 Probably, yeah.

Speaker 5 I mean, was In-N-Out everything that he sits there and talks about?

Speaker 1 No, In-N-Out to me is the burger's very, very good. The fries are lacking.
And I think it's one of those things that if we lived out on the West Coast,

Speaker 1 I'd do it every now and then, but I wouldn't be like, this is incredible. It's the novelty of it.
Right. Of us going out there and being like, in and out, we don't get it often.

Speaker 5 I agree. It's the experience factor.

Speaker 5 You said a great word, novelty. There's like this novelty factor of going out, seeing the long lines of In-N-Out, the experience.
People were taking shots at me because I compared it to Chick-fil-A.

Speaker 5 I'm not saying Chick-fil-A is an overrated chicken sandwich.

Speaker 1 I'll say that. Yeah, I know you're saying that.
I mean, Popeyes just showed up with a chicken sandwich and dominated Chick-fil-A. Immediately.
People were doing Chick-fil-A. Hang on, hang on.

Speaker 1 Did they dominate him?

Speaker 5 They dominated him for a moment in time.

Speaker 1 So much better, though.

Speaker 1 No, I disagree.

Speaker 4 I think Chick-fil-A is doing pretty well. They're two different types of chicken sandwiches.
Right. One is much bigger.
It's got a lot of extra breading on it. And it's got a different type of bun.

Speaker 4 They're two. You can enjoy both.
I think they're both great sandwiches. I agree.
I don't think that. So Popeyes came in and they did make, they dropped a fucking bomb on the chicken fucking heat.

Speaker 1 They did a great job. They put a nuke.
They're rolling out.

Speaker 4 It was like Glenn Taylor and then Popeyes, the two people responsible for killing the most chickens in America this year. And they created a fucking work of art with their sandwich.

Speaker 4 Chick-fil-A is still good. I'm still going to go to Chick-fil-A like once a week and get theirs.
I don't think I have to choose. And I think that when it comes to the burger debate,

Speaker 4 here's a controversial opinion. I think all hamburgers are pretty good.
For the most part. I don't think that there's like a gourmet burger out there in the fast food game.

Speaker 4 There's not one that I hate. But I think with In-N-Out, it's like

Speaker 4 you pay $4.99 and you get a good cheeseburger. Correct.
I think that's what people like to do.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I think people, yeah, and I'm one of those people as well. If I got five bucks and I see In-N-Out, I would love to go to In-N Out.

Speaker 5 When we go to AZ or when we go to the West Coast, I'm excited to go to In-N Out because of the novelty experience factor of going to In-N-Out with my West Coast boys. Right.

Speaker 5 But you go in the conversation as best tasting burger. We're not talking about all the bells and whistles of everything else.
And I think that's what In-N-Out does.

Speaker 5 Just like Chick-fil-A, incredible service. They got workers out there working all the way out into the highway, dude.
And you're getting your food. They're bam, bam, bam.

Speaker 5 It's great service, great experience.

Speaker 5 The ingredients, yes, very quality. But again, we're talking about a great,

Speaker 5 we're talking about the best tasting burger out there. And to me, In-N-Out is so overhyped.

Speaker 1 Overhyped. Uh-oh.
All right, so Taylor, why don't you, you're sitting there. I just think it's a little bullshit.
Will just, here's what Will's become. He's become a guy that is obsessed with clicks.

Speaker 1 And so he'll say whatever he needs to do to make sure that. Except retire.
Yeah, except retire. Yeah, right.
Like, what would get the most clicks? No, no, no. Retire.
That's only from what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 That's the way I'm about to click. But when December rolls around and he starts talking about playoff Willie all over again, more clicks.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 You know what I'm saying? I think somebody's bummed I pass him and follow him.

Speaker 1 Here's the deal. Oh, baked.
Actually, I think somebody's bummed. I passed him.

Speaker 1 I told you today I was proud of you. I literally said to you.
But now you're going to sit here and call me a clickboy? Oh, you are a clickboy. You're going to call me a clubby boy.
You're a clickboy.

Speaker 1 You're a clickboy right now. Well, I'm going to give you a compliment here.

Speaker 1 I guess I'll give my opinion later. Yeah, yeah.
No, I'm going to give a compliment. I guess I was going to talk about In-N Out Burger, but no, no longer talk about In-Noul Burger.
I felt you guys.

Speaker 1 Go ahead, dude. It's your show.
Burger Debates. You guys are doing a great fucking job here.
It's a good thing. Get a lot of doing your show.

Speaker 5 And I do think, like, when you say last six months, I think one thing that we've done better at is just, I guess, being more consistent on the internet, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Putting our face out there.

Speaker 1 Having more stronger opinions.

Speaker 4 We don't have to go to practice every day.

Speaker 1 Right. Exactly.

Speaker 1 Tell us a little bit.

Speaker 1 Tell us your burgers. I would say that I would agree with that as well.
Tell us your burger. I think that

Speaker 1 the last six months we've done a lot better at being more consistent. And I think I didn't just leave.
somewhere for four months. That's usually what I usually do in the offseason.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 To be around. And then also doing the spring tour.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 the spring tour was a big deal for us so taylor give us your burger take uh it's just that the time's past no no go ahead give it no bullshit

Speaker 1 hang on a load of bullshit will's all about clicks continue burgers okay there's no denying oh dude i fucking knew it i fucking took the trap damn it dude oh you know when someone does something and you and you immediately hit like a sweat like your body like immediately that when you went like that when you went i fucking drenched dude I'm curious.

Speaker 1 When you did that, the fucking heat turned on immediately and went to 110 on me. I'm actually

Speaker 1 wanting to know. I actually want to know.
I'm like, hey, I want to know.

Speaker 1 No, like, I'm not laughing because I want to hear. Let me cool down, dude.
Thank God I'm wearing this Duke Cannon, dude. It really cools my pits.
Thank God.

Speaker 1 When you walk in Inn and Outburger. I don't care.

Speaker 1 How did you not see that one coming? Because I thought. I thought you were genuine.
I thought you were genuine. I thought you were.
Listen, when we were down there, he said he loved In-Out Burger.

Speaker 1 So when Will said he wanted to actually hear, I thought, oh, I'm going to have a teammate in this game. Billy, why haven't you said a fucking word yet, dude?

Speaker 4 It's In-Out Spree trash.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Billy.

Speaker 6 It underperforms, whereas places like Carl Jr.'s, you're like, oh, is this place trash?

Speaker 1 Tell me from a guy that set up a boxing match, dude. I agree with that.

Speaker 1 That set up a boxing.

Speaker 1 Hey, Billy, I think that's a change that was.

Speaker 6 Don't you think if I set up

Speaker 1 matches?

Speaker 1 You grazed his shoulder and he went down like a bad boy. Billy's like memes.

Speaker 1 You grazed your shoulder.

Speaker 1 That was just going to become yelling.

Speaker 4 Taylor, do you think you could beat up Billy?

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, I don't think it's important to have that conversation right now.
It's very good, Billy.

Speaker 1 What do you mean?

Speaker 4 It's the most important thing.

Speaker 1 I think you asked Billy that question to ask. I think you should ask Billy you answer it.

Speaker 6 That's just a toxic conversation.

Speaker 1 Billy took three boxing lessons, and he probably thinks he could beat me up right now, dude.

Speaker 1 Billy,

Speaker 1 how many 225s did you get, though, Billy? I don't, bro.

Speaker 4 That's it? That's Cat.

Speaker 1 Cat, I don't know.

Speaker 1 You really think it's a bad thing? Hey, Billy, he even said nothing to you. Just don't let me know.
I know. You know what, Billy? Let me apologize to you.

Speaker 1 You and I had a great rapport in the hallway. They did this.
I'm still sweating. Thank God I'm not going to be able to do that.

Speaker 1 We'll have your podcast broken up by the end of this. God.

Speaker 1 We're strong.

Speaker 1 We got to go. We're going to do it.

Speaker 4 So, what's your handshake? And at what point do you guys stop being for the boys and start being for the men?

Speaker 1 Don't do that. That's what we do on this podcast.
We're the men. We're going to show over.

Speaker 4 Part of my take. For the men.

Speaker 5 So, you want to know about our handshake? Yeah, boys.

Speaker 1 You guys have got to witness it.

Speaker 1 I'm sure Billy recorded it. He could slow it down, see it a little bit.
It's special.

Speaker 4 I've actually always wondered that. And Will, you might be a better person to ask than Taylor because you've played your career.
You've been a Titan, right?

Speaker 4 So, Will, you've bounced around a little bit.

Speaker 1 How long, you're a journeyman, a veteran?

Speaker 4 How long does it take

Speaker 1 to learn the

Speaker 1 notes? It's got just uncomfortable.

Speaker 4 How long does it take to learn the new handshakes in every locker room that you go into and create your own with your teammates?

Speaker 5 Dude, we're talking like you got to be an athlete to know handshakes? Well, you guys, like, I know you got handshakes with some of the boys, don't you?

Speaker 1 I have a couple handshakes.

Speaker 5 Like, how long does it take?

Speaker 1 It doesn't take that long. You hide you under those glasses.

Speaker 4 I don't think I have any specific handshakes with any of them. Really? I think we do fist pounds sometimes.
We do hugs.

Speaker 1 You know what's an underrated handshake? This one. No, don't do our handshake.
I'm just going to show you. No, no.
The slap and the bump. Oh, slap.
Did I play the slap? This one?

Speaker 1 I think that is the most underrated handshake. Talk about it.

Speaker 5 Oh, I like the like you dab and then you grab them, you hook with the hook with the finger?

Speaker 1 You hook with the finger. I don't like the hook.
I feel like I don't like that as much.

Speaker 4 You guys know I learned a new one to you.

Speaker 1 Give this a feel, Billy.

Speaker 4 Give this a feel. I learned the hand hug.
Do you guys know the hand hug?

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, this is.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, I do like the handhug.

Speaker 1 It's a little more intimate, though. I just like it.
You and I would put the dude

Speaker 1 like this.

Speaker 1 You would think in your head, we're going five.

Speaker 4 We're going five, but you have to know that the hug's coming in.

Speaker 1 Oh, the scissor? Yeah, the scissor. The scissor is nice.
It's sensual.

Speaker 1 But I think the slap and bump, it's the coolest, in my opinion.

Speaker 4 You know what I'm saying? It is because it's got a little extra flare onto it. It does.

Speaker 1 It's just like a handhaffe. does have a lot of it.

This is a textbook. No, this is real.
Psychology, break them down. These are real.
These are real.

Speaker 1 These are real.

Speaker 1 Who wants it first? Who wants to first? Give it to Will. Give it to Will so I know it's coming.
Will, your videos where you're like, hey, buddy,

Speaker 1 can I talk to you for a second?

Speaker 1 Fucking hilarious. When did you come up with that?

Speaker 1 If you haven't seen him, like whenever someone has a bad take or someone does something stupid, Will pretends that he's basically a father talking to his son, being like,

Speaker 1 why don't you come over here for a second?

Speaker 1 When did you start that? I love it.

Speaker 5 I think it's like sometimes you'll read some comments and I'll literally say to myself, like, this motherfucker, like, shut the fuck up. And then I thought to myself, like, how can I handle this?

Speaker 5 Because you know how it is on the internet at times. Like, you'll see comments and you're like, how can I have a little more fun with this? Right.
So that's what I did.

Speaker 5 The whole like, let's take a walk to the panja. Let's get you buckled in.
Like, let's put you in the crib. Let's put you in the car seat.

Speaker 5 The possibilities are endless, but I have a lot of fun with it.

Speaker 5 Like telling people to shut the fuck up. Like, there's...

Speaker 1 God, dude.

Speaker 5 When somebody says something to the person, you're just like, dude, shut the fuck up.

Speaker 1 It's like the best feeling. What's the next place?

Speaker 1 Give the viewer something that's coming up. That you got like a spot you're thinking.
You could bury him. I don't know.
You could bury him. You can press him.
You could bury him. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You could rescue his money.

Speaker 1 Yeah, press him.

Speaker 1 Let's get this for real.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. Actually, like, hey, sweetheart, I'm going to do a bit.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 you're a fucking baby. Why don't you get on this tit? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
That's a good one. Yeah, all right.
And then, ready for yours, Taylor? I am. So

Speaker 1 everyone thinks, no, everyone thinks there's another thing that you guys do that I fucking die laughing every time.

Speaker 1 It's when Will pretends to chug something, but everyone thinks that it's Will being great. Your commentary makes me laugh every fucking time.
Well, that and bring you joy. Every fucking time.

Speaker 1 Does that bring you joy? You're like, slow down, bro. Slow down.
Like, yo, you're a fucking monster. Like, wow.

Speaker 1 And Will, if you haven't seen it, Will, like, chugging videos, obviously, people chug and it's like, oh, fuck, he chugged so fast.

Speaker 1 Will just sips it super slowly, and Taylor's just in the background narrating it, being like, bro, you are a beast. Oh, my God.
I don't think I've ever seen somebody put it down as fast as him.

Speaker 1 I don't think I've had it. I tell you what, I've had so many, I've had two emotions since I've been on this podcast and both so dramatic.
Yes. One just like overwhelmingly anger.
Anger and happy.

Speaker 1 But then I'm like, I'm full of joy right now. I'm going to get you crying.

Speaker 1 I just got a hug. I just got a compliment hug, like, instead of a hand hug.
Yeah, but I was thinking about like what has made you guys pop a little more.

Speaker 1 And I think those type of videos where we get to see you guys maybe be funny, not just on a podcast, but other things has been a big part of it. Because those videos crack me up every fucking time.

Speaker 1 You know what I think? think I think a lot of that and I'm gonna throw one to you Will I think it has to do with Will breaking the stigma.

Speaker 1 There you go a little oopy because I think when it comes to like playing sports there's like a idea of like everything you post is to be cool whether you're getting on a jet or like this is the outfit I'm wearing or something like that Will in a lot of ways and there's other guys that tried to make jokes like

Speaker 1 kind of broke that a little bit and made it like let's try to just be funny right and there's a while there where you're like I'm just gonna throw shit at the wall and see what hits and will I mean Will's found a stride your your boy's still out there treading water trying to find out what my vision is yeah

Speaker 5 because also like going in it like you know not that I'm discrediting myself as a player but when you're actually in it and going in every day like there's a sense of you like walking around and guys seeing like what you post does that happen like what's that like do people like see in the titans locker and they're like are you about to fucking podcast this bro No, I think the boys in the room in the locker room are pretty good.

Speaker 1 Vrabel, he likes to chirp. That's the thing.
It's like going to a team room room room room room. Rabel put your ass on a stake in the team meeting room.

Speaker 5 Bray Bray will be like, let's see what our social media manager is up to this weekend. And I'm just sitting there like asshole tight, like, fuck.

Speaker 1 Yeah. No, he's about to pick something up in mind.

Speaker 4 And you know, the social manager.

Speaker 1 He'll call me like when I was on the team the last night.

Speaker 5 By the end of the year, he was just calling me the social media manager.

Speaker 1 I don't even forget about his name. Oh, that shit was so funny.
Yeah, Vrabel is a... He does his 15-minute bits in team meetings.
Oh, he loves it, dude.

Speaker 1 He loves to sit there and tell jokes. And the thing is, it's like a room that has to laugh.

Speaker 1 The shit he says is pretty funny, but he also says shit you're like, okay, I probably wouldn't give that thing a strong. Oh, you don't shut him out of tune my bikes.
That's fucking hilarious.

Speaker 4 Some coaches have like these motivational tactics that they do. They like, you know, they set up way ahead of time.

Speaker 4 Sean Payton will put like juice boxes in your locker and be like, you got to stay juiced up this week. You know, stuff like that.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Vrabel, it seems like he spends more time like, like workshopping his bits, like writing jokes down before he comes in.

Speaker 1 He's pretty fucking quick, dude. He has got some quick to him, some wittiness.
But there's no, like,

Speaker 1 one thing you got to give Vrabel credit for is he doesn't do like the clichés, like you got to stay juicy type of vibes. You know what I'm saying? He kind of stays.

Speaker 1 His main one is, I played 14 years. Listen, boys, I've been in these rings.
That's a pretty good Trump card to play. Dude, it's a tough Trump card.

Speaker 5 Like, what are you going to say to that?

Speaker 1 And you can't chirp him for too long either. Like, if you, if you chirp Vrabel, he'll chirp back.
Then you chirp him one more time, and then he comes with a fucking haymaker. Right.

Speaker 5 And he could probably try and fight you.

Speaker 4 He could probably beat up like 70% of the locks.

Speaker 1 I texted him the other day, and I i was like hey who are we playing week one and he texted me back and said hopefully not the cardinals and that was like just a massive shot holy shit

Speaker 1 like yo it's tuesday how dark how dark was that oh bro that was like so for people who don't know taylor gave up five sacks no don't do that dude you know it's not five was he had taylor jones had five he had five sacks i gave up two but it was a it was a blood bat the whole game you know that idiots like us watch that and we see that he had five and that he was matched up against you sometimes yeah and we say to ourselves damn Taylor gave that.

Speaker 1 That's pretty much just like Twitter in general, right? It was that one clip, too.

Speaker 1 There's another one with Buddha Baker. Oh,

Speaker 1 to me, that was tough. That's the sort of six sides.
That was in a two-minute. No, that wasn't a sack.
We got the ball from that one. Thank God.
That's still a tough clip to see.

Speaker 1 Hey, the worst part is,

Speaker 1 when I got hit by Buddha Baker doing that, like at that point, I was like, so, like, you want to see a man just unravel, like, watch that game.

Speaker 1 You'll see me just absolutely unravel emotionally and mentally. When Buddha, I turn my shoulders and he catches me and I fly down and I get up just completely defeated.

Speaker 1 And Buddha and Chandler Jones are like walking away, like dapping each other up. And Chandler goes, I told you.

Speaker 1 And they were jogging away. So they were like, dude, this guy.
So what was it? Was it you were coming back from injury? Yeah. Was it not, you know, strong enough? Not, you know, you hadn't.

Speaker 1 I think it was. It was more mental and confidence than anything else.
Like,

Speaker 1 I wasn't as strong or as like,

Speaker 1 yeah, or as like quick. I wasn't as confident in my body and like my body at that point.

Speaker 1 But I was like, so, like, I had to be out there week one, had to be out there week one. And then I got out there week one.

Speaker 1 And after the first series, I was like, holy fuck, like, this is going to be a long day. Right.
And then, sure enough, dude, he took advantage of my ass.

Speaker 4 So if you're working on like the mental side of your game, obviously, like, in the moment. When you hear something like that, you're having a tough game.

Speaker 4 It's, it's tough not to like go into a big spiral, right? It's tough not to go into a bad negative place.

Speaker 4 Is there something that you've like learned from that experience where you can, in the moment, try to catch yourself and try to keep yourself from going like completely checked out?

Speaker 1 That's like, that's the only game in my life I've ever been in a situation where like it's like, hey, I just want to get the fuck out of here.

Speaker 1 That's this and this and this and this. Yeah.
Well, no, right now I feel fine now. Yeah.
The heat's kicked off. We got the cool interview.
Yeah, that's right, guys. I know.

Speaker 1 I'm sitting over here asking Billy for a water. I'm like, searching around for water.
Katie and I are Buddha Baker and Chandler Jones right now. Oh my God.
I'm Chandler.

Speaker 1 Hey, the worst part is the other day.

Speaker 1 I posted something the other day and people kept tagging Chandler Jones. And he commented on my Instagram.
I was like, y'all keep posting, like, tagging me in this stuff. It's a new year.

Speaker 1 And I just commented back and said, hey, don't be the bigger man.

Speaker 1 It makes it way worse.

Speaker 1 It won't even make it worse, dude. And he laughed.
I'm like, God damn. Sure, he's a great guy.
Sure, he's a great guy.

Speaker 4 I'm actually interested to know, though,

Speaker 4 is there something that you can do? Is there like a mental tool that you can use in a game to get yourself to snap yourself out of a bad movie?

Speaker 1 Well, there's been other games where I'm not playing well. It's like, hey, it just is what it is.
You go to the next series and you kind of just play.

Speaker 1 That's never been a huge issue during a game for me like it's been like before a game or after a game type of thing but this game in particular it was just where I was at mentally with my knee where I was at also a little bit physically where I was just like I didn't feel like I belonged out there and like there are points in the year I was telling Willis on our podcast bust one of the boy subscribers

Speaker 1 I was uh telling on our podcast that like at some points last year I'm like how am I blocking these people right these guys got to be terrible if I'm blocking them like even later in the year and so it was just like the confidence was just totally shot the whole year.

Speaker 1 And it started with that week one for sure. So

Speaker 4 in the film room, do you consider just like, were you praying that you would get COVID after that game?

Speaker 1 So you wouldn't have to go to the facility. But that's what I think.

Speaker 4 I would have gone to a bar and just drank out of every glass that was just left behind. I would be like, come on, give me the cocoa.

Speaker 1 Dude, it was actually a really cool thing that Vrabel did after the game. He texted me.
He's like, hey, come see me in my office.

Speaker 1 And whenever you get that after a game, it's just like, oh, fuck, dude. I must have done something wrong or I didn't play well or something.
And I knew I didn't play well.

Speaker 1 So So I was like, oh, I'm about to get chewed out. And I get into Vrabel's office and he's like, hey, I want you to know, like, you didn't lose us that game.
Like, we all played bad.

Speaker 1 We were going to lose a game regardless.

Speaker 6 Like, don't beat yourself up too much.

Speaker 1 Like, it's going to take time. And he was like very cool.
And it was one of those rare moments where Vrabel was like, you know, being like, you know, being nice. Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, I'm actually curious. No, no, I'm curious, and both of you guys can answer this, but like, we as fans, we freak out to everything.
Right. Like, a loss like that,

Speaker 1 we're stupid. We're like, Titans are trash.
Cardinals are the best team in the world. And like, that's for eight weeks that the Cardinals were.
Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 So how, I mean, I know it's, it's, it's cliche that's said to the media, like one week at a time, we don't, we don't get too high, too low. How do you actually do that?

Speaker 1 It never makes sense to me because like I would get so high and so low that it would, I wouldn't be able to do it. You know what I mean? You will not.

Speaker 5 I think like, so not playing, like being on the couch and watching games and then going in and doing it is like it gives you a perspective because before I would get to the Raiders or the Titans,

Speaker 5 you'd sit there and watch games and you'd almost want to tweet something like emotionally or like just saying something. And then you'd kind of, I would kind of resist.

Speaker 5 It's like, well, shit, I might be out there soon. So let me not say anything.
But I think you just realize like you're in such a bubble in the season. It's hard to remove yourself.

Speaker 5 Like when Taylor was talking about social media and stuff earlier,

Speaker 5 there's just like a time where it's, it's kind of like not taking yourself so seriously because we're in a profession where all we fucking do is take ourselves so seriously.

Speaker 1 That's all we do.

Speaker 5 It's just, it's alphas. It's people trying to figure this out.
Like, who's going to be macho?

Speaker 1 Who's going to be the man?

Speaker 5 Yeah, constantly posturing. I got to make the team.
I can't look dumb in front of the coach. Oh, this dude laughed at me.
I hope this person doesn't feel that way since he just laughed at me.

Speaker 5 And then you have the whole internet commenting about it. It's like you're just, you're in such a bubble.

Speaker 5 And if you're like, like when I wasn't playing and then once I, like last, this past year being on the Raiders and kind of enjoying that this could be my last year or my last times playing football and just enjoying it for what it is like the game of football and people trying to bust my balls about not playing and then I'm just like I post pictures of myself standing on the sideline it's just realizing that like shit isn't near as serious as you make it out to be right because because that stuff blows over in those few weeks like after the whole Arizona stuff and the rocky season like there are weeks like you're sitting there talking to Taylor and like There's nothing you can really say with somebody because you realize like they're they're like, you know, you're like, you're like in it.

Speaker 5 You're fucking in it. Right.

Speaker 1 And there's in those situations, there's no way to zoom out. Right.
There's no, and then you're, and then it's not as big of a a deal as you can.

Speaker 5 And now he's months later talking about it in such detail on a podcast because now you like gain perspective about what it actually was. And now next time you do it,

Speaker 5 he'll probably handle situations or in the moment when you're playing bad a lot differently because you realize like, oh, this shit doesn't last forever. Like, I'm just, I'm fucking in this moment.

Speaker 5 I just need to get over the hump right now.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I think a lot of other players probably appreciate the fact that you guys are kind of the ones that are like, I don't know how to say it.

Speaker 4 And like, I've always hear British people say taking the piss.

Speaker 4 And I'm still not sure exactly what it means but it's almost like you're like popping that balloon that everyone's like walking around so uptight like you said everything's super serious in the nfl and then it takes one person to be like wait what the fuck we can still joke about this and then everyone's like yeah kind of deflates and they're like oh god yeah that's it's like refreshing to see that as a perspective but in such like a high pressure situation i feel like it's got to be healthy for a lot of guys to have some sort of outlet like you guys have like i don't know i feel like most players should have burner accounts if they don't have them already yeah it sounds like you guys have a couple issues right now about burner accounts

Speaker 1 i have two burner accounts. Do you actually

Speaker 1 have access to both their Twitter accounts?

Speaker 4 I started a burner account about a year and a half ago, and it changed my life.

Speaker 1 Really?

Speaker 4 On Twitter?

Speaker 1 Oh, man. I just, well, I don't use it to talk shit about anybody.
Before you say anything, I just tweet out all my experienced opinions.

Speaker 1 Are you being dead serious about it? Yeah, but yeah, it was a big thing.

Speaker 4 Billy had to try to hunt it down and figure out who I was.

Speaker 1 Did you figure it out?

Speaker 4 No, because he's a moron.

Speaker 5 Now, do you guys have the burner?

Speaker 1 Is it burner reddit accounts that I'm reading that I'm seeing? No, no.

Speaker 1 These are Twitter accounts.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Burner Reddit accounts.
If you're trying to get your own propaganda out there, that's... That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 This is like the dude's name's Zeke or Deke or something, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's sussing with me.

Speaker 1 Is that what KFC is all wrapped up about right now?

Speaker 4 Yeah, so he's trying to figure out who it is. I personally don't really care.
I'm sure that some people here at the company talk shit about us on Reddit.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. I mean, assume.
Absolutely. But it's at a company completely based around content.
You got to assume there's going to be a way for people to vent probably on Reddit or probably on Twitter.

Speaker 1 Yeah, absolutely. That's what I just said.
I absolutely don't care. Out loud.
From Youngstown Bob.

Speaker 5 Hearing Buzz in the office that Will Constantine just retired from football and PMT, Bob.

Speaker 1 That might get some trouble.

Speaker 1 But honestly,

Speaker 1 having a burger account, I think, is in a way mentally healthy.

Speaker 4 I think it's good to just be able to get the thoughts out there, especially if you're an NFL player and you're expected to always be buttoned up and everything you say is a reflection on the team.

Speaker 1 There's definitely a way you have to be. I never in my life have thought about having another Twitter account or any other account that wasn't me.

Speaker 1 And so the thought of it is like such, it's a crazy thought to me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because it would be all-consuming, like, especially when you guys, like, Kevin Durant has talked about it, and I actually think he's been way better once his burner account got exposed and he was able to just tweet his real thoughts from his real account.

Speaker 1 And he just goes after I think it's hilarious. It is awesome, right? It's awesome.
He just goes after it. Kevin Durant? Yeah.
Yeah, my boy. He follows you.
Yeah, my boy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, he is one of the best players in the NBA, so he does get a little more leeway. Like, you have to be really, really good.
Got to be really good to be able to do that.

Speaker 4 When people say, like, locker room distractions, is there ever actually a distraction? Is anyone distracted by any of these distractions?

Speaker 1 Ooh, I don't know. That's a good question.

Speaker 1 I'm sure.

Speaker 1 I'm sure the answer is yes. Because I'm sure at one point there's got to be something that's like.
I'm sure Antonio Brown at one point was an actual distraction.

Speaker 4 But not because of what he posted online or anything, because he's Antonio Brown, probably.

Speaker 1 Maybe, or maybe he's supposed to lie about somebody, his teammate or something like that. I don't know.

Speaker 1 He did.

Speaker 1 He was kind of a distraction when he was going live from post-game locker rooms when, like, Tomlin was talking to them and he didn't know he was live. Like, that stuff.
I think Juju did that too.

Speaker 1 Right, right, right. Like, that's a bad move.
Yeah, that's a really bad move. That's a move.

Speaker 1 That's exactly what it is. It's just a bad move.
You're right. That's a bad move.
It's not really distracting. Like, if I saw that amount, like, oh, my season's fucked.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 It would just be like, oh, okay. So they don't do that.
What would be an example? Well, I mean, Will, you were on the Raiders at the end of the year. They went through one of the craziest seasons.

Speaker 1 You weren't there when all that stuff went down, but you know, between Henry Ruggs, between Gruden going, getting fired, like all these things, and they start, like, they have a coach change.

Speaker 1 Like, was it, what did you sense when you were in the locker room?

Speaker 5 By the time I got there, like, everybody, like, I've spoken at length about Coach Pisaccio. Like, everybody loved Coach Pisaccio.
He was ready. Yeah, Foxhole got ready.

Speaker 1 We've been on him a couple weeks in a row because Booger told us that, and we, we, he was the man, bro.

Speaker 5 And they have, like, a good locker room, so I, you couldn't really sense, like, any of the distraction that happened prior to that.

Speaker 5 But, like, you know, a good example, like, being in Washington, like when stuff was going down with like RG and Kirk Cousins and RG having his comeback year, but he wasn't playing that well, and Kirk ends up taking over the job.

Speaker 5 He's throwing three picks in a game. Should you go back with RG again?

Speaker 5 Like, there is a lot of stuff to where the medium people write things where if you're not tight in the locker room and in the team meetings, like I think that's what Vrabel does such a good job of: is you're having a team meeting literally.

Speaker 1 We're really gassing Vrabel on this thing. Yeah, but he listens.

Speaker 1 He does listen. He does everything.
What up? But like, I think

Speaker 1 when you do that, you're able to control the narrative or talk about stuff out in the open.

Speaker 5 Whereas on Washington, there wouldn't be a whole lot of team meetings and you wouldn't talk about it. So a lot of news that you would see, you're reading online.

Speaker 5 So that in itself becomes a distraction because you're not necessarily getting it from the headman or from any, you're not getting it direct. You're getting it from other sources.

Speaker 4 Can you confirm or deny a story that we've been told? I won't say who told us this, but in those days in D.C.,

Speaker 4 it was alleged that Colt McCoy was super well liked by everybody, right? And I think that's not far-fetched to say that.

Speaker 1 That's one of Will's best friends.

Speaker 4 Everyone seems to like Colt McCoy.

Speaker 4 And he had a party. He decided he was going to have a barbecue at his house, and he invited everybody.

Speaker 1 He loves barbecues.

Speaker 4 Kirk Cousins was the starting quarterback at the time. And Kirk Cousins got word on the street that there was this party going on.
He got upset because he's the starting quarterback.

Speaker 4 He should be the one having everybody over. He found out that his linemen and stuff were going to go to Colts.
He put the word out that there was a party. Everybody was still going to go to Colts.

Speaker 4 He had to go to Coach Gruden, Jay Gruden, and be like, hey,

Speaker 4 can you tell Colt McCoy to not have his party? Well, first, he said, trade him. Trade him.

Speaker 4 First, cut him or trade him. Secondly, can you tell him not to have his party at the same time that I'm going to have my party?

Speaker 4 And then allegedly, everybody went to Kirk's party for like an hour and then left and had the real party at Colts.

Speaker 5 I was not at either of these parties, and I can't

Speaker 1 was it in the

Speaker 5 hand up, hand on anything?

Speaker 1 Lying.

Speaker 5 I was not at any of these parties, and I do not,

Speaker 5 I wouldn't say confirm or deny, but I don't remember Colt having some barbecue party because, again, I wasn't invited, I guess.

Speaker 4 Would it surprise you to know that that was true?

Speaker 5 You know,

Speaker 5 some stuff would be surprising, but some stuff, no, not surprising.

Speaker 1 I want an answer

Speaker 1 would not be surprising. He's saying that for his podcast.
This is why we should never interview other podcasters because they'll take a whole juicy story and all of our stuff.

Speaker 5 No, it wasn't like guys did love podcasts.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we got to unpack that for a second. What, you guys?

Speaker 1 Real quick? What? Unpack what? The fact that they think we stole their thing because they did one a couple episodes in advance. They don't.
But that's the thing, though.

Speaker 1 They're not chasing us.

Speaker 5 They're not actually trying to, like, they're just joking on us. They're trying to get us.
They're trying to get us. They're trying to divide us.

Speaker 1 They're trying to get their audience.

Speaker 1 There was some guest we had on recently that fucking Will was in the mentions being like, come on my show, please. That's what was it? We will do it.
Where was that? What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 We had a guest.

Speaker 1 They were like, please come on my show. Max.

Speaker 1 Who was it? Oh, Oh, are we talking about Max?

Speaker 5 You were tagged in the same title.

Speaker 1 We asked Max. Take Max, come on, buddy.
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 5 Somebody said he should come on our show, and I responded to it.

Speaker 1 You said that.

Speaker 5 Max, please, please, please. My man, Max, favorited whatever somebody said to him coming on busting with the boys.

Speaker 5 So that's when I reached out and said, yo, you're more than welcome to come on Busting.

Speaker 1 I honestly never have a problem with that.

Speaker 1 No, I don't either. They work with me.
We did colleagues. We did that.
We also.

Speaker 1 How did you guys start? How do you guys see Max hit all the guests? That's right.

Speaker 4 That's the oldest trick in the book. It's to just be like, come on part of my table.

Speaker 1 But it's funny to get you to have to explain it when I don't even need you to explain it because I saw it and I was like, yeah, Mac. I should go on with him.
He's awesome.

Speaker 5 Are we colleagues that you root for?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I've root for colleagues.

Speaker 1 Is that true? Yeah. You root for all your colleagues? Yeah, definitely.
Do we, after this week, do we have a tough table? Let's talk about that for a little bit. I'm going to take a subject.

Speaker 4 I definitely root for everyone.

Speaker 1 Do you really?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Do you see a polygraph? Honestly, I don't.

Speaker 4 I never really root against somebody.

Speaker 1 Are there people you don't, quote-unquote, fuck with in this building?

Speaker 4 Well, there are people that I'm closer with than I'm not closer with.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's fair, but do you get along with everybody?

Speaker 4 I do not shun anyone. There's nobody that I will like walk away from in the hall.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but

Speaker 1 here's my question. And listen, I just, I don't, is this the camera here? I don't know anything.
I don't, I don't know nothing, right? I don't know anybody's real business.

Speaker 1 I kind of tried to play catch up a little bit this week. Why, why you, why would you shun or not shun anything? I just don't want to be around him right now.
I probably, look, I'm

Speaker 1 at the end of the day i'm probably too soft and give too many second chances and i'll i told him to his face on monday i was like at some point we're i'll i'll be fine with you right now i'm just not so like and i there will be a moment like summer's coming up i won't be you know people be out of the office a little bit i i would almost guarantee that by fall time

Speaker 1 like it's not like mush and i will we won't have a relationship that we had before because i considered him a friend so that's the part that people miss like i considered him a friend so that was part of it but we'll be back to a point where like, yeah, you know what, we're, we're not, like, cool, cool, but we're, we're good.

Speaker 1 You know, we'll work together, guys. Yeah, just be, there'll be a blemish.

Speaker 1 There's just a little bit of time that I need to just fucking chill out and be like, I don't really want you, like, sitting near me. And, like, give me, give me like a month, and then I'll be good.

Speaker 1 And I don't, I'm, we're not going to be too much of a dead horse here, but I'm really asking. I'm really asking.
I just want to know.

Speaker 5 I want to know.

Speaker 1 What made you think, okay, I don't, it's just because you're fucking boys with Hank like that? It was a lot of things. It was, it was the fact that I'm very, very tight with Hank.

Speaker 1 I've been working with him for a decade. I also was friends with Marty, and we also spent a lot of time together.

Speaker 1 Marty, Hank, PFT was there for a lot, like all of us spent a lot of time together the last three months. And like I start replaying.

Speaker 1 Like we took him to Madison, rolled out the red carpet, did a whole thing. We sat in Madison at lunch, all PMT and Marty.

Speaker 1 And he spent like a half hour talking about like exes and girls and stuff the whole time he's dating Rhea. Like, so like shit like that, where I'm like, wait, why, why are you doing that?

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? So those kind of moments are like, I just don't, it kind of just bothered me.

Speaker 1 And again, I'll probably be fine within a month, but when I heard and the way I heard, I was like, dude, that's not cool. Like we were, we were literally on the road together for two months.

Speaker 1 And you could have said something then. Yeah, anything.

Speaker 4 So I don't feel like anger about that.

Speaker 1 But when I look back on it,

Speaker 4 it is a sign that like, I don't know, it's a lack of trust maybe because you don't, you're clearly holding something back from people that, like, I share everything with these guys, like, good, bad, whatever.

Speaker 4 It just is what it is. I'm never trying to, like, play a chess match or anything like that.
I feel like once you start playing chess matches with people, you're going to get beat eventually. Right.

Speaker 4 And you're going to make a bad move. And it's just, it's not worth the time and mental effort to do it.
Which is why I'm not, like, I'm not playing a chess match against Marty right now.

Speaker 4 Probably kick the shit out of him in a chess match if that was the case. But

Speaker 4 you play chess like that? No, I'm just, I'm guessing based on Marty.

Speaker 1 But I've been very upset with it. Here's the thing.

Speaker 4 But I've been very upset. I don't feel like that's ever productive.
I feel like there's so many more things that I can be using my mental energy on than like actively trying to

Speaker 4 expend some of that on hating. So directly

Speaker 1 negative energy on it. I actually talked to him on the phone yesterday.
This is breaking news. I talked to him on the phone yesterday for about 20 minutes.
And I was like, dude, like,

Speaker 1 I just told him everything. I was like, listen, man, like, this is why I was upset.
I'm already, we're already four days past it, and I've already cooled down, like, probably from 100.

Speaker 1 If I was 100 mad, I'm probably at like 50 now. Like, Like, that's how fast I cool down.
I'm not a grudge guy. I don't spend time just hating things.
So, I told him that.

Speaker 1 I was like, Look, dude, if you just keep your head down and we kind of stay out of our ways, out of each other's way for a couple weeks, month, whatever, we'll be good eventually.

Speaker 1 So, like, I'm not, I just don't have time to hate people like that. But it was, it was shocking.
It was, it was just the combination of everything fine.

Speaker 1 The way I found out, the fact that I considered Marty a friend, how close I am to Hank, all that stuff, throw it all together, that he sits next to us, that he sits next to Hank, throw it all together, and that's why I had my reaction.

Speaker 1 How, in a way that it would work out, like where you didn't have any anger for Marty, like, what would you have liked to seen happen if they were on us right away? Like, hey, we hooked up. Yeah.

Speaker 1 If Raya and Marty were like, hey, we hooked up.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think I would have. Is that Rhea?

Speaker 1 If I had just had some.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, Hank found out. Hank found out a few weeks before.
Everyone else found out. And he said that he was very mad for 48 hours.
And then he was able to like, you know, calm down.

Speaker 1 We got none of that. You know what I mean? Like, we found out we were at the Canelo fight, and it was like, what's this? And then it was just, you know.

Speaker 1 So, I, yeah, and obviously, Marty doesn't have to tell me, but if he had, I think my reaction would have been a little different.

Speaker 4 If I was in high school, I would have shunned. And I did in high school to like friends that broke up with like their girlfriends and stuff.
It was like, okay, I'm shunning this person.

Speaker 4 This person's no longer invited places. I'm going, things like that.
I just don't, I don't have, I don't have the energy or like, I don't have the desire to do that right now.

Speaker 4 Hank knows I've got his back till the the end of time like i'd rather just focus on like me and hank we're good anything he needs i'm there for him you name it he's got it like and he's and hank's hank's proven like he's been so loyal and we i was actually telling these guys about this earlier like hank in his new job that's why he's not here right now by the way is he's actually he's running the company um but he didn't want to talk about burgers yeah and he wanted to duck you uh hank has gotten a lot of shit over the years like kind of as a joke but sometimes from people that don't understand the joke saying all he does is press record hank is a genius in his own way.

Speaker 4 Like everything he touches works. I think it's a perfect role that he's got.
So I'm very happy to see him. I want to support Hank moving forward.

Speaker 4 I just don't feel the need to, like, I'm not going to go out of my way to just like, I don't have that negative energy to give out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and my shunning is not like it just literally just moves seats. Like, I told Billy he had to go to the thing last night with him.

Speaker 1 It's not like I'm going to just actively be like trying to stop him every spot. Because I don't want to.

Speaker 1 I probably am like a little bit too overprotective of Hank. I'll hand up.
Well,

Speaker 1 I've known him since he was 18.

Speaker 1 If I'm Hank and I'm, if this whole thing goes down in the last 72 hours, like, not just Tom Brady, but it seems like everyone's going to be. Hey, no, you know your lead.
Hank innocence? Damn.

Speaker 1 Good for him. Yes.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's got to be doing his little. I have two more questions because we got to wrap up.
I got to run to the yak. One is for you, Taylor.
Your tattoos. Yeah.
I want to be a tattoo guy. Okay.

Speaker 1 I don't know how to start. Pinterest.
I love your tattoos. Do you? Yes.
No, I legitimately think you have very cool tattoos. Thank you very much.
Honestly, I'd go to Pinterest Pinterest right away.

Speaker 1 Do you care if they have meaning or not? Not really. Yeah, go to Pinterest and then find out what you like.
Can you just become a tattoo guy like that? Like, when did you get your first one?

Speaker 1 I was 17 or 18.

Speaker 1 I missed the boat. Your first one has to have meeting.
You missed the boat? Do you reinvent yourself?

Speaker 4 What's your first one? Your first one has to have meetings.

Speaker 5 You just got to get tattoos in the middle.

Speaker 1 My first one was just my last one. I did this weekend.
I went to this tattoo shop in Arizona and I got old English LeWan, but they put an M instead of a W. So it was LeMan.
Oh, my God. And then...

Speaker 1 The man. My second one was his mustache.
That's cool.

Speaker 1 The third one I got was a Roman Rumble of six from my best friends in high school and a girl's initials who I proposed to from when I was leaving for Michigan. Didn't work out.

Speaker 1 And then, yeah, I just started getting tattoos over and over. Got tribal, and then I was.
Do you have one anywhere? No tattoos. No, Willie doesn't.
He's not a tattoo guy.

Speaker 1 But if you're actually serious. I do want, but I don't know how to start.

Speaker 1 If I were you, dude, I would go to Pinterest and find out what you like. Now, are you a little worried? Because as, you know, both of us fathers of two, have your kids been like, ooh, that's cool.

Speaker 1 I want one of these. Yeah, my oldest daughter wants that too she's like i can't wait to have tattoos like daddy told her when she's 18.

Speaker 1 okay because here's it all the tattoos i got before i was 20 are i'm trying to erase off my body right now right i'm trying to erase them all except for this mustache i i love the mustache that and my right hand man this dude is that's cool i like yeah it's a nice little deal right it's clever um but yeah i'm trying to erase all that

Speaker 4 what's that i'm gonna get a plaid half sleeve eventually a plaid half sleeve yeah well i just tell people like that's my first tattoo that i'm gonna get yeah and then i just say that i'm eventually gonna get it

Speaker 4 and i just never i've I've never seen a plaid tattoo before.

Speaker 1 There you go. That would be original for sure.

Speaker 1 Either of you can answer this, Taylor. You were...
There.

Speaker 1 One, two, or three,

Speaker 1 which interception was the worst from Ryan Tannehill in that game against the Bengals. Oh, my God.
Because they're all like, I was thinking about it. They're like, first play of the game is special.

Speaker 1 Goal line is like really bad. And then like, oh, shit, we just lost the game.
Like, they all have very unique. Holy fuck, that sucked.
Yeah. I think the first one was like, whoops.

Speaker 1 You know what I'm saying? It was like a whoopsy-daisy.

Speaker 1 The second one was a freak interception by the nickel blitzing and the tipping it to himself.

Speaker 1 Yeah, who's got wheels, by the way.

Speaker 1 And then the third one, I, and listen, this is all insurance policy. I don't play quarterback.

Speaker 4 I have no idea how to read defenses.

Speaker 1 Third one is, we got to fucking go win this game. And I don't know if it was an accident or not or what the deal was.
I don't know what the deal with the third one was.

Speaker 1 So which one do you think was the worst, Will?

Speaker 1 Man, either that first or third one. I'll get to get a deep breath.
Like you're about to dissect this whole thing.

Speaker 1 Hey, I'm always a free agent. I was tough.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 I was literally there. Yeah, I played with Ryan too.

Speaker 1 He's a phenomenal guy.

Speaker 1 It sounds like you put a lot of thought into this, actually.

Speaker 4 Like, you've, you've considered.

Speaker 5 No, I'm sitting here thinking about that. I'm thinking that's a good question.
The second one's the, it's the, that one's the bottom. It's either the first one or the third one.

Speaker 1 Because the first one's kind of just like, fuck. Dude, you looked at the dude the whole time.
I know. And I bet you guys that day.
Which is always a bad time when I start believing in you guys.

Speaker 1 Go ahead.

Speaker 5 I was going to say, my thought was like...

Speaker 5 Come on now. Come on, big.
Come on, big. My thought was like, and not even as much on Ryan, but it's like,

Speaker 5 we were running a, the boys, we got the boys running a play action pass with, and one side just two tight ends, and they're staying in the block. There's nothing else to do.

Speaker 5 What do you expect out of Ryan? And then the third down one, the third down one was Tom. Then properly.
Because

Speaker 5 you're trying to go down and win the game.

Speaker 1 What's that? What do you think? It's a pretty regular thing to have a seven-man pro.

Speaker 5 Are you here? Yeah, I know, but first play of the game.

Speaker 1 You're trying to take a shot down field. Everyone thinks Derrick Henry.

Speaker 5 But that wasn't even a shot down field. Everyone.

Speaker 1 Everyone, yeah, there was two reads on that play. It was either AJ or Julio.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I watched it. I'm saying, if if you have a seven-man pro,

Speaker 1 because you're thinking to yourself, it's the first game back Derrick Henry's had.

Speaker 1 Everyone in the world thinks we're giving the ball to Derek first. Derek's out there.
Everyone stays in. Linebackers are shooting up.
That's safety just did something he never does.

Speaker 1 The answer is all three of them. Is that the answer? Well, there was a right answer.
Yeah, there was a right answer.

Speaker 4 Yeah, are you upset that Ryan's not going to teach Malik Willis how to throw 300 seconds in a playoff game?

Speaker 1 I'm not upset about that. For the record, when you guys signed with Barstool, we had a press conference.
We're like, we're not teaching these guys shit. That's fair.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And look how well we've done.

Speaker 1 And look how well we've done. We've actively tried to do it.
It's not our job to mentor these guys. It's not.
But we ended up making it a lot of fun.

Speaker 5 If I could say,

Speaker 1 well, it's like

Speaker 1 if I could. It's like what Ryan's saying about the league.

Speaker 4 Hopefully hanging around enough, like, he'll pick up some of the stuff we do. That's what you guys did with the original.

Speaker 1 I think the sound bite was bad. Yeah, the soundbite was bad.
Honestly, I don't care.

Speaker 4 Like, that's the right answer. That's what you should say.

Speaker 5 Dude, it's not Ryan's job to mentor the young guy.

Speaker 5 It's on the young guys, it's definitely the young guy's job to get as much from the vet as you fucking can because this dude's done it for a long time.

Speaker 1 It's not like Ryan's not gonna,

Speaker 5 you never think I'm going to go out of my way and do like this is in my job responsibility or my job description to mentor somebody else.

Speaker 1 To teach him,

Speaker 5 yeah, the sound bite was tough, but it's like he doesn't, Ryan didn't mean nothing but malicious.

Speaker 1 If I was Ryan, I probably would have just left that one alone. Right, you almost, yeah,

Speaker 1 I would have been like, yep. And then I'd be like, fuck you, Malik.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 If I really felt that way. Like, when I first got to the Titans, Michael Ruse was the left tackle.

Speaker 1 I DM'd him on Twitter and I said, Hey, dude, I would love if you like, and I could sit down and learn the playbook. Never heard a thing, of course, never heard a response.
No, I wouldn't.

Speaker 1 And that's okay. Do you feel stupid sending that? I feel stupider the older I get, too.

Speaker 1 It's the one that keeps biting at the apple for it. Right, yeah, you would definitely be like, You're thinking what's I think.

Speaker 4 You're thinking, like, you're hungry to learn, like, you want to go in there and do all that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm sure you're the veteran too.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you're trying to make him like you, but you don't realize that by him teaching you everything, he's going like he's going to lose money.

Speaker 1 He's quite literally taking money out of his kid's mouth.

Speaker 1 It's his kid's money.

Speaker 1 Kids' mouth. I take his kids money's mouth.
Money out of his kid's mouth.

Speaker 4 If he was like 42 years old, I think it's a fair question to ask Ryan Tanhill, but like he's still kind of in the prime of his career, right? Like, why would he be expected to teach this guy?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 1 that's a tough deal.

Speaker 4 Also, I had a question to ask you. Billy has this theory about the guy that you just mentioned, Derrick Henry.

Speaker 1 So he's a Billy Franklin. Well, I'm with Dick Dad.
Did you bring up the first running back? Why does Billy have a pad and a pen? He's getting first interception. Why does he use an iPad?

Speaker 1 Oh, you wrote it down right now. Yeah, because he had a bad experience with Ryan Whitney earlier this week.

Speaker 1 I know you want to bury him. No, no, no, no, no.
I don't. For the record, Will's trying to bury you.
No, I'm not. No, I'm not.
I want to say that. I want to say that.

Speaker 1 No, hey, don't listen. Don't let him turn it up.
Listen, last time you started playing that game, Dan, what happened?

Speaker 5 Last time you played that game.

Speaker 1 I had to kill myself. Yeah, you had to kill yourself.

Speaker 1 Will have to talk to your son. Yeah, yeah.
That was tough. My son texted him and said, why is my my daddy hanging from the seat?

Speaker 5 Yeah, what a bit you stayed at staying.

Speaker 1 That shit was so funny. That shit was so funny.
You were fucked with me, and I just pretended that I committed suicide, and my son took the phone and was like, why is my daddy dead?

Speaker 1 Nothing says humor like murder or killing yourself. Or

Speaker 1 what you just said.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Billy. And with this,

Speaker 4 no, I had this theory that Derrick Henry has super long legs for his height.

Speaker 6 Like the

Speaker 1 PFT.

Speaker 4 Of his legs, the rest of his body.

Speaker 6 I feel like it's actually detrimental and short yardage between the tackles because people can wrap up his legs more.

Speaker 6 And it's, there's been a couple times where it's like been proven right, but every time he like does well in short yardage, it's like in a sweep or he's bouncing out of the tackles.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 So that's just something to think about.

Speaker 1 If you listen to Buster Corridors,

Speaker 5 this has been talked about in length.

Speaker 1 That's his film. And

Speaker 1 your boy RC brought that up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is Ryan. You guys are talking about Derrick Henry in the hole, no problem.
Go up high on him. Yeah.
I think...

Speaker 1 No, I don't think it matters. I think he's big and tall, and I think a lot of people had

Speaker 1 come at him for that, But I mean, you should say, I mean, I'm not saying anything about that, but I'm just saying you can't take it. You're saying his long legs are detrimental and short yards.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I just think everybody's like, oh, Derrick Henry, like fourth and one.

Speaker 1 Derrick Henry would have been the MVP this year if he didn't get hurt. Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 1 I'm not saying it's bad. Same with me.
Yeah, I would have been

Speaker 1 if I hadn't gotten hurt, I would have to hurt him. That's what I'm saying.
If I'm playing the entire year, I'm probably getting defensive player of the year. You think so? Yeah.
Yeah, why not?

Speaker 1 You can't prove him wrong. RG3 would have won like nine Super Bowls.

Speaker 5 Just like if the Titans signed me were winning the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 You did say that. That's a fact.
You did say that. For the boys.
That's crazy. For the boys.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. Well, we appreciate you guys busting with the boys.
Go check it out. YouTube, podcast.
They're very, very funny. You can go back, listen.
They had Bert on a couple weeks ago.

Speaker 1 They had KFC and Fights on. We've got to come down.
We'll come down. We need you to come down.
Yeah, are you guys actually going to come down? Are you just saying that?

Speaker 4 I might be in Nashville in like three weeks.

Speaker 1 We'll be here. There you go.
Are you really?

Speaker 4 I think so, yeah.

Speaker 1 I think I'm going to be down there. We'll exchange our numbers.
We'll figure it out. Sounds good.
But we appreciate you guys. Everyone, go check them out.

Speaker 1 They are very, very funny, and we root for them because they are our colleagues. Thanks, guys.
Love you. Thank you, guys.

Speaker 1 So, y'all know that we're big fans of Cracker Barrel. And this holiday season, I will be sat at their table with a big plate of country-fried turkey.

Speaker 7 And, Brandon, I'll be right there with you, and I'll check it off my Christmas list in the country store while I'm at it.

Speaker 8 It'll make a nice holiday tradition.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's so cute of you.

Speaker 8 Enjoy all the more holiday traditions only at Cracker Barrel.

Speaker 1 Okay, we're going to wrap up with hockey just to put a bow on it. The final from from Phoenix,

Speaker 1 Dallas, Mavericks, 123, Phoenix Suns, 90. Chris Paul finished with 10 points.
Huge, huge second half.

Speaker 4 They just ran out of time, big cat.

Speaker 1 I don't... I really like...

Speaker 1 I actually am mad at Chris Paul.

Speaker 4 Oh, I am too. I'm furious at him.

Speaker 1 He robbed us.

Speaker 4 I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed.

Speaker 1 Well, no, I'm mad because that was such an ass kicking. That was such an embarrassment that there's a small part of me that feels bad.
And I don't want to feel bad. I want to revel in this.

Speaker 1 I want to have fun with it. But there's a small part of me that's like, holy fuck, maybe everything that we've said as dumb, like kind of a shtick, but not really like, you know, narratives is true.

Speaker 1 Maybe he does stink.

Speaker 4 Well, I mean, all the evidence would point you in that direction. They put a graphic up on TNT in the fourth quarter.
It was sad.

Speaker 4 It was so sad when they were doing the lap around the stadium, not only like with the sad Suns fans, but also just like zooming in on Chris Paul, who I think Chris Paul put on like a full, like his entire street clothes during the game on the sidelines.

Speaker 4 He just got all bundled up.

Speaker 4 But they put this thing up there, I'm pulling up the exact graphic right now, that detailed Chris Paul's history in the playoffs.

Speaker 4 In best of seven series, Chris Paul lost series after leading 2-0.

Speaker 4 2008, West Semis versus Spurs, 2013, West first round versus the Grizzlies, 2016, West first round versus the Blazers, and 2021 NBA Finals versus the Bucs. Add to that list the 2022

Speaker 4 second round against the Dallas Mavericks.

Speaker 1 And there have been a lot of injuries in there and like weird shit, but man,

Speaker 1 it's bad. It's bad.
And the Suns were the best team all year in the NBA.

Speaker 4 I think he was crying on the bench actually.

Speaker 1 Oh, see, he's robbing it. He's robbing us.
Like we needed...

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 this isn't right.

Speaker 4 Let's go to our good friend Ryan Rosillo for comment. Ryan tweeted awesome.

Speaker 1 Awesome. Yeah.
Awesome.

Speaker 1 We're going to give him some time. We'll hopefully have him on again.

Speaker 4 And he hasn't tweeted since then. That was an hour ago.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 it's not good for our boy.

Speaker 4 We're being nice to Ryan.

Speaker 1 We're getting that trending. Be nice to Ryan.
Hashtag be nice to Ryan. All right, let's talk hockey.
Let's start with Friday night. PFT Jake, go down to DC.

Speaker 1 Look like it was going to be an incredible, incredible win for the Capitals, and then it was stolen from you. Overtime loss.

Speaker 1 Thoughts, and give us, just dump it out. Dump out the titties.
You guys look good.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so we were going to the game. We acquired the fake boobs.
We had a swimsuit. Memes ran out, and I think he went to Nordstrom Rack, purchased this very tasteful bikini top for the game.

Speaker 4 We were going into the arena. We figured that the best way to get in would just be to put the boobs on underneath my t-shirt on the way inside.

Speaker 4 Got through the initial line of security. There was a second line of security, one of whom was an AWL that was on the lookout for me.
Fucking asshole. He had me on radar.

Speaker 4 He tracked me in, pulled me aside. And I got like ambushed by like three or four security guards.
And they were talking to me. They're like, so why, why do you have breasts, sir?

Speaker 4 And I was like, well, I mean, I'm not, I'm keeping them under my shirt, and I've got a bikini. I would not have worn the bikini over the nipples if I was just planning on exposing the fake breasts.

Speaker 4 And he was like, what section are you in? Let me see your tickets. He's like, oh, yeah, these guys are definitely going to be on TV.
You need to give us the fake boobs.

Speaker 4 So, we had to turn over the fake boobs, unfortunately, on our way in. We had to improvise and say, Okay, we'll just go tarp soft for the lads.

Speaker 4 And then, Jake, man of his word, true to his word, took his shirt off, was wearing the bikini top for like the first two periods, basically, right?

Speaker 1 Which looked great, he looked awesome, looked great. Jake was glowing.
Yes, I had argued that the backup punishment was worse.

Speaker 4 I don't like taking my shirt off.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I know. I was actually thinking about that.
What's Jake going to do? And you guys both, yeah, man of your words. Um, how though, I mean, I think everyone wants to know.
Post-game,

Speaker 1 we saw the handshake.

Speaker 1 How brutal was it, PF?

Speaker 4 I mean, I knew it was going to be bad.

Speaker 1 We also agreed before the game to do a handshake when they were doing a handshake on. Yeah, we would do a handshake line of our own.
Yes, I knew that there would be a game. I waited a few minutes.

Speaker 4 I didn't do it right when they scored. He didn't do it immediately when they scored.
Part of that was I was laying down fully on the ground in just despair.

Speaker 4 I was like Coach Buds when they hit a three in my eye. I just went, I planked.
I brought back back planking after that. But I stood up, got back to my seat.

Speaker 4 Jake waited an appropriate amount of time, gave me the handshake, and then he went in for the hug. And the hug I was not ready for.
The hug I could not handle in that moment.

Speaker 4 I fully expected the hug to come, but it was much worse in the moment than I had even prepared myself for.

Speaker 1 You thought I was going to be okay?

Speaker 1 No. What did you say? When you get into a great series.

Speaker 4 And it wasn't that great of a series. I still maintain.

Speaker 4 I still maintain. It wasn't that great.
It was a good series. Stop it.
You're right. It was a good series.
I maintain that if that empty net goal goes in on Monday, that the Capitals win that series.

Speaker 4 Jake agrees. Stop it, Jake.
Please stop it.

Speaker 1 Jake, do me a favor.

Speaker 4 It would make me feel, but you want me to feel better, right?

Speaker 1 Of course.

Speaker 4 It would make me feel good if you were an asshole to me about this. I can't do it.
Please, that's what I need right now.

Speaker 1 You can't do it.

Speaker 4 Jake, come on, please. Just say one mean thing.

Speaker 4 Be like, the better team won.

Speaker 1 Your team stunk at game six. Oh, he didn't even mean it.
He didn't mean it.

Speaker 1 What do you want me to do? No, it's not natural. I feel better.
Okay, ready? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Your fans were not locked in in the third period. Oh, and you agreed with that.
Oh,

Speaker 1 two, two, six minutes left. They start doing the wave in an elimination game.
And I'm like, I go to PFT. This is going to result in a Panthers goal.
Your fans don't care right now.

Speaker 1 And he's like, yeah, you're right. It was 40 minutes later.
It was bad.

Speaker 4 We did the wave and we saw it coming. Jake and I both agreed in that moment, like,

Speaker 4 this is not a good omen for us. No.
If it's, you know, like, I don't know, if it's the 30th game of the season or something like that in the second period, spiced it up the wave away.

Speaker 4 I'm not an anti-wave guy. I think the wave's fun sometimes.

Speaker 4 But you got to pick your moments. I think that was started by an Agent of Chaos.
Wow. I think that was started by a Panthers fan that snuck in.

Speaker 1 The five of us there?

Speaker 4 Yeah, all five of you guys. Well, no different from what it's like in Sunrise.

Speaker 1 And it was a bad.

Speaker 1 The game's been selling out.

Speaker 4 That was me. Yeah,

Speaker 4 a lot of red sweaters in the crowd down there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right. I've noticed that.

Speaker 4 I had accepted it at that point. I was like, this is not going to work out.
Vernon Davis was like two seats over from us. You'd see all the blood drain out of his face, too.
He knew it was coming.

Speaker 1 DMs.

Speaker 1 Was your boy Kodak there?

Speaker 4 I did not see Kodak. I was looking for him, and he DM'd me before the game.
He's like, hey, you want to link up?

Speaker 1 Wait, he DM'd you?

Speaker 4 Have a grilled cheese?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 That rocks. Yes.
I didn't know that. Yeah, me and Kodak, like this.

Speaker 4 Me, Meek Mill, Kodak, best friends, all three of us.

Speaker 4 No, he didn't DM me.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. That was one of the

Speaker 1 situations that Bubble was so pumped to maybe be like one away from Kodak. You let yourself believe that.
The time you took a picture with Uzi was like one of the best days of my life. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I was like, there's a chance I might meet him.

Speaker 1 I have a mean combat. Another mean combat.
Oh, now you're just unloading the clip.

Speaker 4 All right, yeah. What just happened was I poked a little hole in the dam, and now it's all flooding out.

Speaker 1 Let's go. So I want to do a squirt change.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 PFT was wearing a caps hat, a caps shirt, a caps shoes, and his lucky caps jeans. I bought a Panther shirt at the NHL store the day before and ended his season.
Wow. Shut the fuck up, Jake.
That's.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's annoyed memes. That's all true.

Speaker 4 Memes chime in.

Speaker 1 Jake also gave PFT a game puck. Oh, that's true.
Oh, yeah. Another little story.
There was a crack in between the bench. Again.
Fortunate for first row behind the bench.

Speaker 1 There was a crack in between the bench and our seat. My phone, beginning of second period, I was taking off my shirt for the bikini.
My phone falls off my lap into the crack.

Speaker 1 The usher's usher's like, we can rip apart the glass after the game, but you have to wait.

Speaker 1 And then when they got my phone after the game, there was a puck there, too. Wow.
So you gave him a puck. I gave him a puck losing through it, and it almost hit an usher

Speaker 1 in the middle of the conclusion.

Speaker 4 Well, I didn't want it. I didn't want the losing puck.

Speaker 1 That's very nice.

Speaker 4 It's just a memory of pain that you tried to give me.

Speaker 4 It was bad, but you know what?

Speaker 4 Tom Wilson being out the entire series, it was just not our year to begin with. Sounds like an excuse.
Jake, shut the fuck up.

Speaker 1 I have a spinzo for you.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 4 And I love Jake. I love him to death.
And he knows that this is all coming from a place of love deep down inside. But it was, it was tough.

Speaker 4 And then after the game, we went out to a bar and I just got obliterated at this bar. Just like absolutely drowned myself.
I ordered the biggest drink.

Speaker 4 It was like, I think they call it like a mega mule. It was a Kiev Mule, but it was about seven times the size of a normal one.
And I drank almost all of it by myself. Lost my jeans.

Speaker 4 I lost my pants in the vote.

Speaker 4 So they just belong to the city right now. Somebody in Washington, D.C.
has my oversized pants, and that's just, you know, you leave everything on the ice in the last game.

Speaker 1 I'm going to take a wild guess and say they just threw him out. No,

Speaker 1 no, no, no.

Speaker 1 Definitely.

Speaker 4 These are sweet. That's a piece of decentralization.

Speaker 1 Do you think the boobs are just in the security office of Capital One? Yeah, that guy's horny. He probably took them home.
Well, also,

Speaker 1 how does someone who's a fan of this show, like, try to do that to us? He robbed. Shame on that person.
He robbed everyone.

Speaker 4 I'm suspending that security guard. You're listening right now.
You seemed like a nice guy.

Speaker 1 Scumbag.

Speaker 4 But you're suspended for two episodes listening to part of my take.

Speaker 1 You know what? I hope that we get a situation where we have the same thing happen in that same arena, and you try to confiscate my own personal breasts, and then I sue you.

Speaker 4 For life. There was another security guard that came over, I think, before overtime started, and he made us put our shirts on, even though

Speaker 4 I was covering two out of my four nipples, so it was

Speaker 4 fine. Exactly.
This is bullshit. It's tough being a guy sometimes.

Speaker 1 Guys getting persecuted. I have a spinzo for you.
All right, hit me. You're not a Maple Leafs fan.
That's true. So the other.

Speaker 4 I kind of was this year.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that is true. Yeah, but the Maple Leafs, the Toronto Maple Leafs, lose game seven.
That was the other notable. We had a bunch of game sevens.
The Bruins lost to the Hurricanes.

Speaker 1 The Edmonton Oilers won while everyone everyone was sleeping. I assume everyone was sleeping.
Very late at night. Connor McDavid.
But the

Speaker 1 Maple Leafs, that was the fifth time in a row, five years in a row, that they lost a winner-go-home game.

Speaker 1 The only reason I'm not saying game seven is because that stupid bubble where it was a five-game series, they lost in the fifth game.

Speaker 1 It is so, so bad for them. They've done it every single which way.

Speaker 1 They haven't won a series since 2004. They now will will be drafting players in this year's draft that will be born after they last won a playoff series, which is incredible.
That's good, though.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I guess. Yeah, in a way.
Yes, you're right. In a way,

Speaker 4 I usually don't put any stock into the old stats that are like, well, the Maple Leafs, when they play against the Kings in the Stanley Cup finals, haven't won a game since XYZ or whatever it is.

Speaker 4 Probably never happened, actually.

Speaker 4 But, you know, like the ones that they always bring out of the history between these two teams, I don't really put that much stock in it, but it's got to be good for Toronto having players that have absolutely no comprehension whatsoever about the history of these teams.

Speaker 1 Yes, it is. I mean, they have now

Speaker 1 10 straight losses in games that could close out a series. Think about that.
So in the last five years, they've been up 3-2 twice and 3-1 another time. They're up 3-1 last year against Canadiens.

Speaker 1 They have had 10 straight losses in closeout games, and that's not even even throwing in the ⁇ like all their recent terrible, terrible string of luck in the last five years. I completely forgot.

Speaker 1 I went back and I looked at their playoff history.

Speaker 1 That game seven in 2013 against the Bruins when they were up 4-2 with 2.5 minutes left and gave up two goals in 31 seconds and then lost in overtime. It's tragic upon tragic.

Speaker 1 They were fighting each other, which I'm actually, I was thinking about it. I'm a fan of that.
I think that at some point you just have to fight each other to iron Iron sharpens iron.

Speaker 1 In the concourse, there were videos. And then they also had the quote, which was kind of taken out of context, but it's still, I ran with it.
Most people ran with it. It was a real quote.

Speaker 1 Let me just pull it up real quick.

Speaker 1 Shit.

Speaker 4 If I'm the Maple Leafs, I got to release a statement. I got to do the Tampa Bay Lightning thing and put out the most sad, pathetic statement about how bad your team is.

Speaker 4 We're going to learn from this. You'll never see a team work as hard as we do.

Speaker 1 Yes, exactly. Sheldon Keefe said after the series, they got a lot more respect in the post-series handshake line from the Lightning than after previous losses.

Speaker 4 That's good. That's improvement.
It's huge. It's baby steps.

Speaker 1 He did go on to say, we're not in the respect game. We're in the winning game.
We've got to find a way to do that. So that is the full quote, but just saying we got a lot more respect.

Speaker 1 Hey, that's a win. You guys, people are respecting how you lose.
They won game eight of

Speaker 1 game eight. They won the.
Yeah. We walked away.
basically. Undefeated in game eight.
The lightning Jake Marston. Yeah, exactly.
Like, we, yeah, you guys played a hell.

Speaker 1 You guys were way better than we thought.

Speaker 4 Jake, did you, did you plan on giving me the full hug, or was that a spur of the moment, though?

Speaker 1 That's, that's out of his playbook. No, spur of the moment.
No, that's out of his playbook.

Speaker 4 A lot of people were saying, like, oh, he's doing the Muscleman thing to you. I was like, no, no, no.
I think this was just like Jake wanted to hug me in that.

Speaker 1 All of the players do that, too. Not all of them, but some of them who have a lot more respect than usual, like they're going for the hug.
You were giving

Speaker 1 the goalies. You were doing always there.

Speaker 4 Double respect. Yeah.
Of course.

Speaker 1 So much respect.

Speaker 1 And then we had the Rangers just beat the Penguins in overtime. Memes, because Hank is in Boston.
Memes is behind the camera right now.

Speaker 1 Memes, I have not seen someone root so much against the team than what you're doing with the Rangers. Every time we watch a Rangers game, you're rooting so hard.

Speaker 1 I thought you were a Penguins fan for a minute. And then I realized, no, no, no, this is just, he's a Diehard Islanders fans.
He hates the Rangers. So where are you at right now?

Speaker 1 Big Kanes fan now. Kanes at four.
They can't lose a home. Raising kids.
So you just really like despise the Rangers. Yeah, I'm not a fan.
Not a fan of their fans. Not a fan of anything they do.

Speaker 1 You know, they're terrible people.

Speaker 4 Their fans are literally just the exact same people as Islanders.

Speaker 1 They're your neighbors.

Speaker 1 No, no. Garbage.

Speaker 1 I don't think we ever mentioned this, but when we did the congrats off

Speaker 1 in our chat,

Speaker 1 memes was like, is anybody going to congratulate me on the Rangers losing? Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 I could tell. You could tell when you're around someone, it's like very personal, and I love it.

Speaker 1 I appreciate anyone who has that type of hate, but it threw me off because I was very confused with how much you were cheering for the Penguins. So you're just a king.

Speaker 1 Like, if the Rangers win the Stanley Cup, rank that on worst things that could happen to you as a sports fan. So Patriots winning, which is like my whole life.
Yep.

Speaker 4 You're a Jets fan.

Speaker 1 Yep. And then...
So much so he wouldn't shake Julian Edelman's hand when he came in the first time. Yeah.
And then. Which was actually a hilarious move.
He just was like, yep, all right. Hello.

Speaker 1 Me and my dad said to each other, we're like, the Rangers are going to win, and it's just going to suck. And all their fans are just going to rub it in the face.

Speaker 4 What would you rather have, the Rangers win a Stanley Cup, or the butt fumble happen all over again?

Speaker 1 Good question.

Speaker 1 Rather kill myself.

Speaker 1 Good answer.

Speaker 1 Butt fumble. No.

Speaker 1 Oh, this is when you know it's really bad that you can't, you're torn.

Speaker 4 Yeah, no, he's having legitimate conversation inside of his own head. No, Rangers.

Speaker 1 Rangers.

Speaker 4 That's worse.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we can't start over with the Buff Fumble. Okay, yeah.
And you know, though, as part of, oh, he's second-guessing that now.

Speaker 1 As part of your job, if the Rangers win a cup, you got to tweet about them a lot. Like a lot, a lot.
I am unbiased, so I will tweet it out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, very unbiased.

Speaker 1 You're like one of those, you know, like Facebook had to, there's like people who had to basically be a moderator on Facebook and take down like violent videos and stuff and they all got like PTSD.

Speaker 1 That's what's gonna happen to you if the Rangers win the Stanley Cup. Yeah, it's like the crying face with the happy face on the mask.

Speaker 1 Like a meme.

Speaker 4 I think if the Rangers win the Stanley Cup memes, you got to go cover the parade for us. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 I actually am going to put you on a tweet count too. Like I want I want like 100 positive tweets on the Rangers.
I want us to be a Rangers.

Speaker 1 Like, part of my take Twitter account and Instagram will be Rangers Central.

Speaker 4 I got a massive future on these Rangers.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So you got to have a cover.
That's the team, right?

Speaker 1 Go Kane.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Go Rangers.

Speaker 1 Yes, you have to.

Speaker 1 I mean, listen, we might. Yeah, I think I'm going to be rooting for the Rangers now, too.
It kills him so much. It's like you with Aaron Rodgers.
Yeah. I know.
I can tell. And it's just, I love it.

Speaker 1 I appreciate it so much.

Speaker 1 This is what sports is about. You got to hate.
When your team's not in it, you got to hate. You got to find a way to hate.

Speaker 1 I hate him so much.

Speaker 1 All right. Well said.

Speaker 4 Just jump on board the They're Better Without Lundquist train.

Speaker 1 That's true.

Speaker 4 Because it's a nice little back-handed conversation.

Speaker 6 He's a very overrated.

Speaker 1 No rings. No rings.

Speaker 4 I actually, Bubba, I know you're a big fan of his. I actually did go to his house one time.
Who? Lundquist's house.

Speaker 1 Why am I a big fan of it?

Speaker 4 Oh, it's a figure, like, you like Kodak Black. You like all these big celebs that we run the same circles with.
But I went to his house one time,

Speaker 4 no, but I went to his house one time, and I was like, hey, I'm pretty thirsty. Do you have anything to drink? He couldn't give me anything to drink.

Speaker 1 Can you believe that? Yeah. You're fucking with me again.
No. No, no, no, no.
Ask him why.

Speaker 4 Why? Because he doesn't have any cups.

Speaker 1 Bam. I got it.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That was Frank Fleming original. That's a Frank the Tank joke.
I mean, the OV with the bag of golf clothes. is the best way.

Speaker 1 I mean, that happened for like 10 years straight.

Speaker 1 That's why we have to, that's why we, to put a cap on this whole podcast, that's why we have to cherish Chris Paul and what he brings to us because narratives that we can just believe in, even though the player is very, very good, Hall of Famer, they're just so much fun.

Speaker 1 They're great.

Speaker 4 I never got the Ovi golf clubs thing.

Speaker 4 He's not a golfer. Like, have you ever seen him?

Speaker 1 What about golfs?

Speaker 4 What about Ovie's screams? He probably killed Putin. Like, the caps losing probably sent Putin over the edge.

Speaker 6 Ovi, the first time he ever played golf, had a hole in one on his first hit.

Speaker 1 On his first hit?

Speaker 4 That's no way that's true. Look at that.

Speaker 1 It's like a gun thing.

Speaker 6 Yeah, no, I swear to God, it's on tape.

Speaker 1 What? Yeah, the first time he's done. No way.
Ever. That's possible.
Ever.

Speaker 6 I don't know if it was his first time ever hitting the ball, but the first golf outing he ever went on, he hit a whole bunch of

Speaker 1 par threes are not hole one. I bet Pelly is too that Kim Trump got like a third.

Speaker 6 No, dude, it was posted to.

Speaker 1 But a par three never leads off.

Speaker 1 That's very rarely hole one.

Speaker 4 Let me find out. I would say never.

Speaker 1 I would say a par three according to

Speaker 1 our pitching putt.

Speaker 1 Also, shout out to Albert Puholst for pitching. No.
No.

Speaker 1 No. Scratch that from the record.
It was very cool. Fat fuck.

Speaker 4 It was very cool.

Speaker 6 According to golf.com, Alexander Ovechkin made a hole in one during his first ever round.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's a little different.

Speaker 4 You said the first swing he ever ever made.

Speaker 1 First swing, first hole, and boom.

Speaker 4 You know, this podcast is recorded, and I know

Speaker 1 your words.

Speaker 6 There was a little hyperbole there, but it's still crazy the first time he ever went.

Speaker 1 That is crazy.

Speaker 1 That is crazy.

Speaker 1 He's a really good golfer. He's a great golfer.

Speaker 6 I don't know if he's a good golfer, but he's a lucky golfer. Oh, he got a hole in one.

Speaker 4 On his first swing. Yeah.
He's a good golfer. Sources are saying.
By the way, Billy definitely did report that Vladimir Putin was dead

Speaker 1 off the air. No, but he said it low-key, so that means that there could be a chance he's not.

Speaker 4 He's John Cena. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Low-key. Putin might be dead.

Speaker 4 I shot him down. Yeah.
Low-key.

Speaker 1 Low-key. Low-key.
What? When does it become high-key?

Speaker 6 When he's high-key dead.

Speaker 1 Oh, he's got to be dead to be high-key dead, or wouldn't he not just be dead?

Speaker 4 Well, like, just the stuff going on. I think when The Rock tweets about it, he's high-key dead.

Speaker 1 Yeah. All right.
Good show, everyone.

Speaker 1 Also, the Flames and Stars are playing, but there we go. There was your mention.
There are a lot of people that

Speaker 1 are going to be aware of that. Why does Shaq have a cowboy hat on right now? Because the Mavericks.
Okay. Yeah.
And the Women San Antonio.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes. Charles Barkley did say that once.
Six. Several times.
Charles Barkley not checked. True.
Yes. All right.
Numbers.

Speaker 1 What's Chris Paul's number? Three, three.

Speaker 1 25. I'm going to go with 13 and get.

Speaker 4 He gets out of play. Oh, it's out of play.

Speaker 1 Okay, no. Oh, is Chris Paul 13?

Speaker 4 CP3. CP3.
But is he?

Speaker 1 Did he? Is he wear?

Speaker 1 I don't know. I'm going to go with.
No, he just chokes. 28.

Speaker 1 What do you got, memes? Did Billy pick 69?

Speaker 1 69?

Speaker 5 No, 68.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 4 No, he's three.

Speaker 1 He is three. I don't know why I'm trying to use three.
Oh, USA. Yeah, there it is.
I'm so smart at sports.

Speaker 4 24. I told you what I meant.

Speaker 1 18. Oh, my God.
You made me win it with a different number. You said win it with a different team.
That's my number. And then I changed it.
Wow. Uh-oh.
Uh-oh. Wow.

Speaker 4 Hank probably would have taken 18. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 He loves that.

Speaker 5 Raccoons have thumbs.

Speaker 1 Really?

Speaker 6 Yeah, watch them just Google raccoons washing their their hands. It's actually freaking nuts.

Speaker 4 Love you guys. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 All right, Putin.

Speaker 4 Long time still.

Speaker 1 Love to guess that ass.

Speaker 1 Joking away.

Speaker 1 I don't know what I'm to say. I'd say anyway.

Speaker 1 Today's Today's another day to find you. Shy it away.

Speaker 1 I'll be coming for your love, oh, please,

Speaker 1 shy it away.

Speaker 1 I'll be coming for your love, oh please. Take

Speaker 1 on

Speaker 1 me,

Speaker 1 take

Speaker 1 me

Speaker 1 on.

Speaker 1 I'll be gone.

Speaker 1 Needless to say,

Speaker 1 I've all said it's but I'll be stole a little way.

Speaker 1 Slowly learning that life is okay.

Speaker 1 Stay up to me.

Speaker 1 It's not better to be safe than sorry.

Speaker 1 Say up to me.

Speaker 1 It's for better to be safe than sorry.

Speaker 1 Say up to me.

Speaker 1 It's no better to be safe than sorry.

Speaker 1 Say up to me.

Speaker 1 It's no better to be safe than southern. Take

Speaker 1 on

Speaker 1 me.

Speaker 1 Take

Speaker 1 me up.

Speaker 1 I'll be

Speaker 1 gone.

Speaker 1 Take

Speaker 1 on

Speaker 1 me.

Speaker 1 Take

Speaker 1 me

Speaker 1 on.

Speaker 1 fire,
