We had Max Homa actually win a golf tournament. The Reds, the Cincinnati Reds won a series against the Pirates, but still, and one game was postponed for rain, but still it was the upset weekend, PFT.
And the Mavericks won. And the Mavericks won.
And Chris Paul fouled out.

Chris Paul fouled out, but Chris Paul has alerted us to the real issue coming out of this game.

Someone put their hands on his family.

Did you see the video of it?

I did not.

It's like a 17-year-old kid getting kicked out of the game.

And everyone keeps using the phrase, put their hands on, which you shouldn't do at a game.

You shouldn't put your hands on players' families.

But they haven't said actually what happened with it. There was bodily contact and then on mother's day no less oh the kids the 17 year old kid's mom had to escort him out of the stadium and take embarrassing for the mom also verbal meme ryan rossillo sitting in his house in manhattan beach arthur fist watching that video being like he is kind of like he is chris paul's Yeah, he's everything to Chris Paul.
He's Chris Paul's everything. What's the movie? Everything Everywhere All the Time or something? Incredibly close and extremely loud.
That's it. That's Chris Paul next to his TV.
That's Ryan Russell's Chris Paul's love story. It's love actually.
The Chris Paul, Ryan Russell story. We'll talk about NBA.
I think we got to with the Derby. Let's start with the horse racing.
We gotta start with the Derby because Rich Strike I think most people watch Kentucky Derby if you didn't. Rich Strike 80-1 the second longest odds ever in Kentucky Derby history.
The longest being 1913. So think about how far back that is.
Over 100 years. Titanic sunk.
I that was pre-titanic 1912 was the titanic fact check jake either way crazy crazy story if you saw it it was an incredible run that basically every horse ran 1912 there we go every horse ran in a blistering pace and then they all had jelly legs. And Rich Strike, the overhead view that was shared, it was an all-time, all-time Kentucky Derby.

To put it into perspective, 80-1, it's not the same because obviously boxing is two guys,

but everyone always looks to the Buster Douglas, Mike Tyson, the craziest upset ever.

Buster Douglas was 42-1, and Rich Strike was 80-1. I think the bears right now are 80 to one to win the Superbowl.
So anything's possible, but it was insane. Like though, so like to get a little technical on horse racing, Rich Strike was got, was bought in a $30,000 claiming race, which if you don't know what a claiming race is, it's basically every single horse in that race is on waivers to be bought before the race starts.
Those horses like barely ever win another race, let alone the Kentucky fucking Derby. Well, Rich Strike also didn't know that it was going to be racing until the night before the race, because I think it was like the 24th horse.
Yes. And so there were four scratches that brought it up to being the last one.
And it actually, I dug into the numbers a little bit. It was two miles per hour faster.
Rich Strike hit a speed that was two miles per hour faster than any horse in that race in the last 10 years, which is crazy. And he ran 60 feet longer than the runner-up in the Kentucky Derby.
So he ran farther in this race and still caught him from behind.

It was crazy.

It was awesome.

And I love this horse because the horse has like an attitude.

Oh, he's biting every horse.

He's trying to eat another horse right after he won.

He was biting.

Yeah, it was Luis Suarez of horses.

He was trying to bite the other horse.

He was trying to bite the jockey of the other horse.

The guy that was in charge of like corralling Rich Strike and directing him to the winner's circle had to punch him in the face.

Yes.

See you next time. other he was trying to bite the jockey of the other the the guy that was in charge of like corralling rich strike and directing him to the winner's circle had to punch him in the face yes because the horse was biting his kneecap after the victory act like you've been there before rich strike but i i do like i like having a bad boy of horses but if i was rich strike's owner right now you just got to retire this horse you got to be like i'm going out on Rich Strike is going to be pictured in the back of a limo in Vegas with cocaine and hookers.
It should get fat. It should just be put out to stud for the rest of its career.
Never let it race again because you're never going to reach it. Rich Strike is not going to become the new secretary of horses.
No, no, no. Again, I'm trying to think of what it would be.
Like a $30,000 claiming race.

Leicester City.

Yeah, but those races are basically designed, if your horse is not good enough, you put it up in a claiming race because it's lesser competition and it can be bought.

So that's the other part of this.

There was a person who owned Rich Strike, put it in a claiming race, and then the owner bought it in a claiming race for $30,000. A fucking that cashed for I don't know it was millions and it's probably gonna be even more after this but it's such an improbable improbable story the I think it was the trainer was doing an interview after it might have been the owner it uh the day after so Sunday morning and he like didn't know how to stand next to microphones they had to be like hey can you get a little closer because you're standing it was like Ricky Bobby he passed out after the race he was like I can't what planet this isn't earth that I'm on right now like I just won the Kentucky Derby he had no zero expectation for this horse it's it's it's all like in every step of it is crazy because like the owner so horse racing it's it's maiden race and then it goes to claiming then allowance then stakes and there's different grades in all of these so think of it like you know single a double a triple a major league the trainer had never won a triple a game let alone a major league game the or sorry the owner the trainer had only won one major league game he He hadn't won anything else besides that.
And the jockey had never won at this level either. They basically, it's Slumdog Millionaire.
It's like the most improbable story. It's a bunch of guys getting together and just for one day being greater than everyone else.
And the odds are so improbable. I bet every single horse race at Churchill Downs those two days, when he crossed the wire, I audibly was like, who the fuck is that horse? Because I didn't even, you could have asked me before and I wouldn't have been like, you know, like right before the Derby, you can basically rattle off every horse because you've read so much and you've bet so much.
I had no idea who it was. No idea.
Yeah, and I feel like the other owners of all the horses in this race are pissed off. They're probably fucking heated right now, and we're waiting for the other shoe to drop because the horse ran such a good race for being so...
It was an orphan. It was essentially an orphan before this race.
The only race it had won was the claiming race. It lost six other races.
I have a feeling that this horse is going to be trashed in the media over the course of the next week. I disagree.
We're going to see this fucking horse's name dragged through the mud. I just want to say I'm on Team Rich Strike.
Rich Strike is a dog. Hold on.
Horse racing needs a bad boy. Hold on.
And to have a horse that fucking tries to eat the other horses after it finishes, that's what horse racing needs to be appealing to Gen Z. Okay, so here's why I don't think that's going to happen.
There's been a lot of people being like, steroids, that's got to be like, it entered so late, all these things. Remember when the MLB locked out in 1994 and ruined baseball forever? And how did they come back? Steroids? And how did it all work out? Everyone turned a blind eye for many, many years while Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds were hitting dingers left and right.
What happened going into this Kentucky Derby? First of all, it was the first time that they've had the full house. So we had a couple COVID years.
Bob Baffert loomed over everything for mistreatment of horses. There's been some bad stories about horse racing recently.
There's been some deaths in horse racing. Bad vibes going around.
Bad, when it comes to like the Kentucky Derby, you don't want to ever have the biggest day in horse racing when the most casuals tune in, have a story about the greatest guy in horse racing, Bob Baffert, mistreating horses. Wouldn't it be perfect if you have an 80-to-1, a shot that everyone's going to look at and be like, $30,000, we could have bought this horse.
I guarantee everyone was saying that after. I think if there is something wrong here, they're just going to sweep it under the rug because it's the greatest story ever.
It's going to save horse racing. Not that it needed to be saved, but it it's gonna save horse racing this year when you had the bob baffert looming over everything and some bad vibes 80 to 1 fixes everything the other owners are gonna be pissed though that's what i'm saying the other owners and the other owners are the ones good for the sport so they don't realize no but it's not they don't realize it's not like in major league baseball when in 1995-96 you've got you know and attendance going up across the board where all the owners are making money they're all pissed off that this horse came in at the last second like under the night of the moon this horse was entered into the race came off kicked the shit out of them and then tried to eat their horses afterwards they're not going to stand for that I just want to say that I'm on team Rich Strike in.
I think that Rich Strike is going to get unfairly maligned and personally, I don't care. I don't care if there was any funny business behind the scenes.
I personally just like this horse. But it's not going to win the Preakness, so it will go away quickly.
I hope he just retires. I hope he goes off in the sunset.
He's not going to win the Preakness, so it will go away and the owners will have to just deal with it i'm saying if there if you want to stay woke what's the perfect way to be like what a story what a kentucky derby baffert who you get an 80 to 1 longest shot in over 100 years this story of of guys buying a horse for thirty thousand dollars it's the perfect story and i obviously like said, I don't think it's going to save horse racing, but it did for a day. And it's going to lead us all the way to the Preakness where everyone's going to talk about it and hopefully we don't get milkshake ducked by the owner or the trainer.
Yeah, did this horse have bad tweets back in the day? Was he problematic with his Who did this horse vote for in 2016? This horse was in Charlottesville? What. What the fuck? Where the hell did this horse come from? It's a police horse.
Yeah. The ultimate spin zone of this, though, came from Mike Leach.
Did you see what Mike Leach said? I love everybody who has to work their angles into everything, and Mike Leach having a horse racing take was just great. It was perfect.
He said, That horse winning the Kentucky Derby today is a good example of why an expanded college football playoff is needed love it that horse hadn't won all the races leading up but it got its chance and that's what happened it is it's perfect i mean it is umbc it is well it's like mississippi state yeah like getting hot at the right time and somehow beating alabama yeah no it's it's it's a crazy crazy long shot odds every part of the story is nuts. You know, no one except our security guard who, shout out Danny and Mike who are with us in Vegas, they did have a ticket on Rich Strike.
He also had like every horse, but he did say, and I believe this, he went up to the teller and the teller was like, do you know what horse that has literally not one single person has bet on today? Rich Strike. And then he put $20 on it.
And PFT, we talked about, I was like, give me a number for roulette. And you said 21.
There you go. It was 21.
Someone mentioned that. It was like, I should have been thinking higher level.
We didn't tap into that. Because I immediately was like, oh, man, if I put $1,000 on it.
Did you put money on roulette yeah didn't hit oh shit my bad that was because it was the signs were right we just read it wrong correct yeah it's out there it's an us problem it was so crazy in the if you haven't seen the like the aerial view of the run it's it's incredible to watch a great call i don't think you'll ever have a kentucky derby again where the horse that wins didn't have its name said until the last like five seconds it wasn't even set i think yeah the coolest part of the about this is if any horse if the favorite was in that position it still would have been crazy oh yeah no that would have been that would have been a run you see those runs every now and then where a horse comes from the clouds is what they say and like that was that was from the clouds but also 80 to 1 they were selling t-shirts at the churchill downs and they had like 10 horses on each side and so yeah the he wasn't on there it wasn't even on there right right because he was add-on on friday night if you bought it yeah if you bought a kentucky derby shirt you don't even have the winner on the shirt this is a dude incredible this played high school baseball and then maybe a little bit of softball and adult beer league went to the World Series and hit a home run. That's what this is.
It's like that scene in D2 Mighty Ducks 2 where they go to the playground and they play against the knuckle puck kids and they beat the shit out of the American national team. And they're like oh you know what this hockey team made me regain my love for the sport maybe the other horses will be out there at the preakness with a little smile on their little horse faces we should compliment horse racing though here's the real story nobody died yeah nobody died and there wasn't like a 30 minute booth review that took everybody's time where they declared that the winner of the race wasn't actually the winner.
So that's all really horse racing has to do to make most fans happy. But a long shot story is pretty cool.
It is. It gets everyone talking.
Like all the stories afterwards, people are talking about the owner and the trainer and the jockey. Like the jockey.
There's a lot of overtaking in this race. Yeah, but the jockey was racing in like, there's so many different tracks around America.
the jockey was racing in a nothing track and he actually was a good jockey i i saw a stat that he only 10 jockeys had won more races than him in 2021 but he was also there were 65 jockeys that won more money so he was racing he was winning but he was winning in nothing races over and over he'd never won a big big race, though. Right.
The owner had never won a big race. The trainer, I don't think, had ever won a big race.
No, the trainer had won one graded stakes win in 30 years. The owner had never been in an allowance race, which is still a step below stakes races.
It's all nuts, and it's one of the coolest stories. I'm just gonna say it it saved racing it saved racing rich strike that horse will never have a day like this there probably won't be another day like this in horse racing for a very long time triple crown until we get another titanic yeah what if he wins a triple crown no no i mean yeah if he wins a triple crown it will be it would i don't know there would never be a story like this actually there would never would never be a comparable, like, Leicester City would be out the window, which was, what was it, 150 to 1? Yeah, 165.
Like, those... This should be, it could be the biggest thing in horse racing history, actually.
It would be... If it won the Triple Crown.
If it won the Triple Crown, it'd be UMBC going to, like, the championship. I'm taking Secretariat off my number one list of best athlete of all time and replacing it with Rich Strike if it was Triple Crown.
I'm just going to say it. He's my goat horse.
He might already be my goat horse just because I love the theatrics. I say it was like the Draymond Green of horse racing.
We need a bad boy horse. Yeah.
Like the 89 Pistons of horse racing. Yeah.
I hope they call him Richard. That would be kind of cool.
Richard Strike right. If every morning they're just like, hey, what's up, Richard? Yeah.
They're like, hey, what's up, guy? But yeah, that was crazy. What should we go to next? Should we talk NBA? Let's talk some league.
Let's talk some this league. Do you want to start actually with Warriors, Grizzlies that has gotten very ugly, a lot of shots going back and forth.
Broke the code. Which is something that's happening now.
And Ja Morant has claimed that, yeah, he was, that Jordan Poole broke the code on him by lightly tugging on his knee. What is the code? The code is don't tug on another man's knee.
I think it's just knees. Yeah.
You don't fuck with another man's knee. So we were we were at the canelo uh biville fight and i like caught up later and watching the reaction at first i was like did jordan pool like rip his leg in half and then i watched it i was like wait there's there's no way this is what hurt john moran and then people found it so john moran tweeted uh he broke the code and then underneath it people were rep replying dude how about when you like dive bombed into clay and you bang knees like a few minutes before that feels like that might have been when you hurt your knee and then he deleted the tweet it was like a grab and a small pull now unless you thought that he had the ability to like reach into John Morant's leg break the skin grab the patella tendon and then pull patella tendon, and then pull it out like you're tearing spaghetti out of a meatball pie or something like that.
There's no chance he could have actually been hurt on it. But when it's the hand, you don't put your hands on another man's knee.
On the inside of the knee. I think you can touch another man's outside of their knee.
Yeah, you don't reach it under the skin. You don't break skin with your fingers on another man's knee there's i've never let another man touch the inside of my knee the issue is you know it's ever steve balmer do never uh when when you reach out and you grab with your hands it's much more intentional looking than if you were to like bang legs you know like you can always be like oh i don't have the greatest eye knee coordination right but if you're with your hand, then it's very much intentional.
But there was like 0% chance of an injury on that. And it also, it was a situation where we slowed it down and watched it over and over.
It's like, but that's not how it happened. It happened in real speed, not this super, super slow-mo where you can be like, oh my God, what'd he do? And- I think he was intentionally grabbing the leg and grabbing the knee.
Well, the ball was, he was grabbed for the ball. Then he grabbed, you know grabbed something.
I just don't know how that could have hurt him. And it's also all under the umbrella of the Dylan Brooks foul, which was very, very dirty and probably put Gary Payton Jr.
out of the entire playoffs. And also, I saw there was another one where Desmond Bain dove into a guy's knees.
This series has been very chippy, very back and forth. And you saw even Steve Kerr.
I think the quote was, they're like, what's the game plan tonight? He's like, play good defense, play sound defense, get the ball to our shooters, and don't jump at anyone when they're in the air and try to injure them and take them out for the rest of the playoffs. So it's going back and forth between the two teams.
Yeah, I think that if that was actually a play that could have resulted in knee injury, what you see in every NFL game, every play in the NFL, there would be blown out ACLs. Every single one.
I think they're just looking for a reason to get pissed off at each other, which I like. If you have to invent reasons to get mad at the other, that's fine.
Just get mad at them because sports are more fun when you have these combative series where you actually do think, okay, this is my enemy. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to beat them.
And you have a little bit, which is a great storyline. And you go back in the history of the NBA, there's always the young upstart teams that have to go through the teams that have won championships.
Yeah, they got to learn how to win before it feels a little bit like that. And the Capitals.
Yeah. It's a lot like that.
Exactly. But yeah, the back and forth between the coaches, I think is good.
I like it. Yeah.
And there also has been a lot of this going around where I've seen it happen actually in the Bucs Celtics, and we can maybe use this as a jumping off point for Hank to complain about the referees. But people are doing a lot of just slowing down replays of normal inbounds passes where players are defending other players and being like, look, that's dirty.
Look how he steps under his legs when the other guy's jumping in the air. That happens when you're like guarding somebody man to man and they jump for a pass.
And everyone's moving a million miles an hour and everyone is a freak athlete. And it's like, yeah, every time you slow something down, you can interpret it in a way that makes it seem like there was bad intentions.
Like it's dirty. They were doing that to Marcus smart when he was trying to guard Giannis on an inbounds play.
It's like, listen, I get Marcus smart has like a little bit of a reputation and he is kind of a psycho that plays on that border sometimes,

but he's just playing pretty good defense.

Shout out Grant Williams, by the way.

He just straight-up hockey-checked Grayson Allen,

which is something everyone should aspire to do.

So, Hank, the officiating in this series, I think he's been pretty good.

What do you think?

Yeah, no, I mean, I mentioned the rest. I was only specifically talking about the last play of the game

when Marcus Smart clearly got fouled shooting a three, and they called it on the floor, only got two free throws and kind of ended the game basically. I don't like to be the person that's like, oh, the refs suck, the refs decide the series.
It's just not. It's not who you are.
No, it's not who you are. All teams have to deal with referees.
Referees are just trying to do their jobs. Giannis is a fucking fullback that just runs down people's throats and they never call it, but that's just how it is.
I'm not going to let the referees decide whether or not the Celtics win this series. It's on them.
That game was... That last call was bullshit.
I was in the green room with Hank. He was watching on his phone.
He was dying with every possession. I think that game probably hurt because it was very winnable the celtics should have won they were up i think one or two they had a possession they had three missed threes like they got a three got offensive rebound got another look wide open three missed it and then grant williams had a rebound and he just like deflected it out of bounds without anyone being else there and then they lost like they should have and could have have won, and Marcus Markout fouled.
Well, at the end of the day, too, when your team is in the playoffs, it's very easy to blame refs. It's a lot harder to blame your star players, and the story really is Jason Tatum went four for 19.
Yeah, he didn't get off the bus. He did not play well, and these playoffs are supposed to be like Jason Tat tatum's launching pad to being one of those elite elite players who he was in the first round he has been at times in this series but that like that's the story if he plays if he plays just average basketball not even his like you know top level basketball top 10 player in the league if he just plays average they win that game.
Jalen Brown was a no-show game one. Jason Tatum was a no-show game three.
You got to assume that eventually they're both going to, you know, show up and play to win the game. Yeah, I wanted to – when I was watching the replay of that last – the Marcus Smart foul on the three-pointer, I wanted to believe that, like, Hank was just crying about nothing.
Oh, he was. I wanted to think, think, oh, Hank has no point here.
He doesn't know ball. I watched it, and I kind of agree with Hank.
I think it was a shooting foul. I think it's pretty clear.
Now, obviously, when you watch his follow-through, the theatrics afterwards are very funny. He's just throwing both his hands towards the basket, not in a real shooting motion.
He was pumped to get fouled. He was really excited that he got fouled on that play.

But just because you like the fact that you got fouled doesn't change the fact that it

was very obviously a reach-in as you were going to go up and attempt that three-point

shot.

But I also don't want that to distract from the fact that Marcus Smart had maybe the best

intentional missed free throw of all time at the end of the game, where he got the ball

back.

Everyone in the arena knew what he was going to do.

And he still threw him off of the side. He did like it.
I've never seen a player do a hard count on a foul shot before, and that's kind of what he did, and he caught them sleeping, caught it in the air, and then probably should have scored afterwards. That was the most impressive play of the game.
Yeah, it was an incredible intentional miss. The foul for Marcus Smart, I don't know if it was like he was very clearly shooting.
I think the more frustration from Hank's perspective is that they usually call that. That's what it boils down to.
Whether you think he was shooting a three or not, that usually gets called. In any other situation of the game besides the last, whatever, 30 seconds.
Right. So how are you feeling going into Monday? Because the mini-womping is off.
Mini-womping is off. You put that button away.
One thing I'll also say, just shout out to Pat Conton, recurring guest. He does this thing where he catches the ball no matter where it is and just shoots it.
It's unbelievable. I don't know if people have been noticing.
No, no, no, no. But there was one play where he caught it.
It was above his head, and he literally didn't move his hand, caught it and just released. Keep the ball high.
Don't bring it low. It's impressive.
I'll try and identify the video and put it out there. I mean, it's a gutter war.
I said this from the beginning of the series. This was not going to be an easy series to win.
No one thought we were going to win in four or five. We got to win every game from here on.
It's a must win. I think it's just going to go back and forth.
I think it's going to go seven. Didn't we discuss that a mini-womping could be six games if you blew them out? I don't want to disrespect the opponents.
The Bucs are a good team, and any win's a good win, and a series win's a series win. It doesn't matter how many games it takes.
Right, you're not looking ahead to either the Sixers or the Heat right now. I would never do that.
No, never. I don't think the mini-womping, though, can happen because the Bucs did womp them game one.
Yeah. They beat them by 12 in Boston.
That's true. I was talking to a friend this weekend who had questions about the different tiers of wompings and mini-wompings.
We should actually sit down and figure out, put together an encompassing list of like, okay, here's a shit-pumping. Yeah.
Here's an ass-kicking. Here's a womping.
Here's a mini-womping. Here's a gentleman's sweep.
I actually don't know if we want to really get into detail with we can do it another time. I don't know if one of your best players is hurt, a whomping.
Here's a mini whomping. Here's a gentleman sweep.
I actually don't know if we want to really get into detail with we can do it another time. I don't know if one of your best players is hurt.
A whomping is even on the table. I don't think it can be.
Yeah, so the Bucs could never have gotten whomped because of Chris Middleton's injury. Correct.
Well, Mark Smart didn't play a game. That's true.
He didn't play a game, too. But they could get mini whomped.
They could get mini whomped. Yeah.
It's like not all gentleman sweeps are whompings, but not all whompings are gentleman sweeps. If Giannis was out, you can't mini-whomp.
Correct. If your best player's out, whoppings off the team.
I think if your best player's out, the highest you can have is you took care of business. Yeah, you did what you were supposed to do.
Yep. Exactly.
It's still hard to beat teams in this league. Sunday's games, Chris Paul, more like piss Paul.
Yikes. I was actually hoping I...
Bleep that bleep that out I really I was hoping that um we could just let Chris Paul get as many fouls as he wants so he could get a quadruple double so people could be like point god 10 points 10 assists 10 rebounds 11 fouls I think fouls should count differently based on one how many rings you have so his would actually be the exact same on that standard and then two based on your size yeah like it's always weird when a little guy fouls out it's like oh that's so cute I want to pat him on his head yeah it's um I feel good that we we had that conversation we we hashed everything out on on Friday's show where we decided that even though Chris Paul is incredible and does things that are like holy fuck he's just completely demolishing this team by himself from the point guard position. We stayed the course and we said we're not going to relent.
We're not going to give up. He's a choke artist.
Now we just got to go to game five and hope that the Mavs can keep it going, which I don't think they will. I think this is, if I had to predict game five, I think this is a true point God 28-10-6.

He's got the bulletin board material.

Yeah.

And he's, well, they might call him Scott Foster.

Yeah.

If they do, all bets are off, obviously, on that one.

Chris Paul, yeah, we did determine, like, we all agree he's awesome.

But at the same time, he sucks.

Yeah.

And those are my favorite players. Like, he is the best player in the nba who also sucks ass he's the weather yeah if you don't like it just wait five minutes oh that's a good joke yeah there you go so that's that's chris paul that's old school pmt yeah we got it we just got to wait another couple games because i don't i think he's going to show up in game five and then we're going to have to eat some crow and people are going to tag us the other way with rasil i think we probably are gonna break like chris paul in the playoffs if chris paul gets back to the finals we'll break a record for most tweets tagged with rasil myself and you we just have yeah you're right we just have to wait and let chris paul do something hilarious again because it's gonna happen and there's gonna be games you actually, what's great about being an awesome player who sucks is that in a way,

everybody's right about Chris Paul.

Yeah.

Everyone can, at the end of the day, at the end of a season, be like, look, my narrative

this entire time was 100% correct.

He makes all of us feel smarter about basketball.

Yeah, and it is getting tenuous with Russell because I texted him asking him how many of those fouls were bullshit. And he very quickly had a detailed report being like the third, the fifth.
And I was like, okay, makes sense. So we're just going to have to, you know, Tuesday's going to be a big fucking game.
Game five, hopefully the Mavs can show up. And we can.
Hopefully nobody in the crowd breaks the code. Yeah, I mean, that is fucked up.
It is it is um but it's fair you should watch the video because the kid is like 16 or 17 and then chris paul is looking i'm like yelling i'm like he's gonna kill him that would be great a great use of your rule where you can fight a fan yeah if it's chris paul against a 16 year old yes and um the other everybody be like that's a mickey mouse fight yeah and then the 16-old beats him up because he's a foot taller. Yeah.
And then we have the Sixers officially back, which I know Hank is rooting for the Sixers. He's not looking ahead.
He's not looking ahead, but he's rooting for the Sixers. Joel Embiid, like indestructible.
I'm actually, I forgot to tweet tonight, like I'm giving my MVP vote to him. So I'm sending it back in.
It's switched a few times. Has Luka been in the conversation? Luka has been in the conversation on game two.
I took it away from him. Well, you should do it.
After he got ripped. If the Suns win the championship, you've got to give your MVP to Chris Paul.
Yeah. That should be the rule.
That should be the rule. But yeah, the Sixers, it turns out, Embiid is really good at basketball and he's very important to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Yep. This is breaking news.
What's the meme? Nobody cared who I was until I put on the mask. Yep.
That's kind of where we're at with Joel Embiid right now. He gave an all-time suck it to the crowd on Friday night.
Just big-time chop. Blatantly, it was such a good suck it that even on television, they had to replay it over and over just to highlight what a great socket it was and he has usually they turn the cameras away but it's like you know what the kids are probably in bed it's late at night let's just all respect what a great dx this was yes and he's i mean fuck it's fun to watch him play so hank how are you feeling now the fact that you're down and the sixers have even the series you're you're your foe? I bet the Sixers tonight.
We talked about it before tonight, who we're going to bet. I bet the Sixers.
I thought they were going to win. I can't worry about this series.
I think it's two good teams. Whoever comes out is going to be the better team.
But if I had to pick right now, I'd probably still say the Heat. But I hope it's the Sixers.
But, yeah, honestly, it's one of those I'm focused on the Bucs. I would be worried that James Harden is actually playing himself into shape in front of our very eyes.
He actually, yeah. He took it coast to coast a couple times tonight.
Didn't have to stop for breath. Hit the oxygen tank halfway.
He had 31 points tonight. And we're getting to the point of the playoffs where the James Harden defenders are starting to use some stats that actually make sense that the James Harden-Joel Embiid combo this playoffs has been very, very dominant.
So maybe James Harden is going to have a little resurgence. He's another one, though.
We just wait until, like, Game 6. No, Game 7 in Miami.
If they go there a day early. That's what we're saying.
That's it. that's done I I would like to see it it would be good for the NBA if the Sixers advance the next round yeah no disrespect Jake to your heat and your heat culture no but all disrespect because that's all we've been doing but kind of all disrespect at the same time because just for the storylines like Embiid hardened together in a series against like Hank was saying the uh the Celtics um that's going to be good for ratings, and we're ratings watchers.
Yes. Yeah, that's fair.
I mean, the Heat, so I have a stat here. The last two games, they've missed 51 of their last 65 threes.
Can that keep going? I don't know. Well, you know what they say.
Give Duncan Robinson more looks. He hasn't played this series.
He's played one minute, and he's been on this podcast, and he's good luck, and he's a good player, and he's known for making threes. He's got $90 million.
You know what they say, though? It's a make-or-miss league, Jake. But you can't make or miss if you don't play.
Yeah, I know, but I'm saying, like, as a team, it's a make-or-miss league. You start missing.
Yeah, I know. It is what it is.
It was bad. You live by the jump shot.
You die by the jump shot. Two out of three.
Live by the podcast. Bob Ryan was coaching.
That wouldn't be a problem. That's true.
That's true. He would have slept already.
Yeah. So 2-2.

A lot of basketball. Where's your confidence at, Jake?

After game one, it was

at a nine. After game two, it was

at nine and a half. After game three, it was at like

an eight of winning

the series. Now it's down to like

a six and a half, seven. Okay, so still confident.

I think the Heat should still be favored. I don't know

what the Barstool Sportsbook odds, but

I'd assume with two out of three at home, they're probably favored. In the Mars confidence meter, does it ever get to a 10? Because it should have been at a 10 after game two.
You should have been at a 10. But you still have to win 50% of the series.
Yeah, I know. Yes, correct.
What's a 10? When do you get to a 10? Like Jim Boeheim can successfully drive home. Jesus Christ.
Fourth quarter, 0.00. It's like the arrow.
You never actually get there. You're not, I would think that a nerd like you would be a fan of the Elam ending.
Like, isn't that? No, it's cool. No, no, but the whole process behind that is that there's a certain score where the game is actually over.
It's like pickup. Right.
So there has to be a time. Oh, in the middle middle of the game yeah like they're the whole i'm pretty sure the elam ending started that like there's a point in a game where a team can't like statistically come back and i might not understand this at all probably not watch timberwolves yeah elam ending is at the under four or five minute they just no i know that but i'm pretty sure maybe i made that up someone has that where they statistically are like i think it was more so just to speed up they don't do the free throw game at the end yeah yeah um but yeah okay so six so let's shift let's use this as a jumping off point for hockey yeah the big uh matchup capitals panthers two two yep i heard a little rumbling no not1.
Good guys. Ooh, 2-1.
I heard some rumblings that there might be a PMT road trip with Jake and PFT, which would be very good content. You guys going down to D.C.
for what? Next Friday? If necessary. If necessary.
If necessary. So my confidence is at a 10 right now, Jake.
As a Caps fan, I'm fully bought in now. Like, I'm back to thinking that this could be our year.
Ovi is skating like he hasn't skated in, like, two and a half years. He looks healthy.
He's laying people out. That was a shit pumping that we saw on Saturday.
Just an absolute destruction of the Panthers. I'm just, like, fully believing, like, there's a little bit of magic on this team.
It might happen again. So I talked to Jake about it.
like jake would you want to go down to dc on friday if necessary to that game should have put a future in again maybe our maybe our our team over at game time can help us out yeah get jake and i down there on the ice and then jake has jake has already agreed that um the stakes on this series you know we did the whom last time. If the Capitals win, Jake has to try heroin.

Oh, nice.

Black tar.

Stakes are high.

Subscribe to PMTV episode eight.

Do it for the A.W. host, Jake.

I think everybody wants you to see

just with your eyes rolling to the back of your head.

I think we should get you guys,

I think Game Time should try to get you guys

on the glass, the hot girl seat.

I don't know if you saw in Dallas.

It's every playoff, there's one of those. Yeah.
I mean, it goes viral every playoff. Well, that was the seat where the fan in Las Vegas actually flashed Ovi and stuck her tits up against the glass.
You remember that? As he was skating around. One for me, one for...
No, that was MLB, bonk yourself. That was the World Series.
I think it was both of them. I think that was like her thing.
Well, I just remembered that one girl in Vegas because we made a T-shirt out of it. Right.
Which you signed off on. I don't remember signing off.
Bonk. We put a T-shirt with tits? Yeah, with tits on the glass.
We did? Yeah. Yes.
Really? We definitely did. Because it's Ovi holding the cup.
Oh. And then right behind him is this girl in a Las Vegas party dress with her tits on the glass.
I think she's married to Jake Paul. Oh, no, she wasn't.
She was just MLB one. MLB, yeah.
This has been history of tits at games. So I think what you should have to do is after the first period, whoever's losing should have to put on maybe either take off their shirt for the second period or maybe put on a stuff a bra and see if you can get noticed as the tits person yeah it's the tits person that would be hilarious i haven't listen i haven't if the team flips in the third period whoever's losing has to do that whoever's losing has to do it i haven't worn women's clothing in like three years you did have that hot hot streak it was the well it was donna gruden as the old lady It was It was like the second time In like a month Where I I didn't say anything But I I thought I was like Oh this is a trend No you did say it Oh I might have said something Yeah you did say it I was like what's up I got asked to be the bridesmaid In the Dana Beers wedding Right And so I had to wear A nice cocktail dress Classy Classy It was classy But yeah'm down for that jake that would be fun you want to go tarps off who could be who can be the tits guy you know two months ago i didn't think i'd be getting into bets that included heroin dip and tits but here we are yeah break those it's the hat trick i mean i've only okay no heroin i'll take the heroin off the table.
We can say that. Jake was about to say that the dip was the worst.
We'll save the heroin. I was about to say it's the only one I've experienced.
I think like a bra. Wear a bra for the second period.
You know what? We have those. I think Joey and Pat have the fake tits that they walk around.
Have you seen those? Frank slapped them one day. I've seen them, yeah.
Bring those. Whoever's losing has to put them on.
That would be very funny. I don't know if you can get into the arena with actual fake breasts.
It's 2022, bro. You just have to wear them in.
Yeah, you just have to wear them in. Put your hair down.
Jake, I'm down. Shave your face.
Put your hair down. It's also been a while since I've been mistaken for a woman from behind.
Oh, my God. Oh, fuck.
I like this. This would be good.
This would be good content. We can just do the bra.
Just wear a bra on your skin and go shirtless. The goal is just to have someone see you guys and be like, hey, look, look at those tits.
As long as heroin's off the table. It happens in every hockey.
It happens every hockey playoffs. They're like, look at those tits.
They've never seen. It's something about seeing tits in the setting of sports where everyone's like, oh, my God.
My world's a colliding. Did you see those tits? Yeah.
So what just happened over the last five minutes was a master class and part of my tech negotiations where we anchored so hard that now Jake's like, yeah, it's reasonable that I'll just have to be in a a bra. As long as drugs or alcohol are involved.
Okay. Perfect.
You can do them if you want to. The drugs and alcohol? Yeah, yeah.
Right, right. If it makes you feel comfortable getting into the tits.
And there's always the out of running onto the field of play to get out of the bet. Right? Oh, I thought you were going to say the Panthers lose 4-1.
Not to. Yeah.
Yeah. You have to go on the ice and stick a Ukraine pin on Ovi's jersey and then you can get out of it.
Ovi has said clearly that he does not support the war. Let's not get it twisted.
Oh, I can bring a rat. Yeah, you have to throw a blue and yellow dyed rat on the ice at Ovi.
No, we don't attack other players. No, we don't attack their family.
Then we're no better than Putin. No, we don't attack their family.
When they go low, we go high, Jake. You have to touch Ovi's inside of his knee.
No, that's too far. That's way too far.
All right, we'll figure it out. Either way, hockey playoffs have been awesome.
I think I'd rather do the heroin. Okay.
Oh. Yeah, I mean, touch a man's knee.
Yeah, no, you're right. Yeah.
The playoffs have been awesome every night. The Bruins are back.
Hank, 2-2. Cycling some pucks.
Yep. I'm trying to think of one other series.
There's a breakdown. Yeah, there it is.
There's a breakdown. We took a red eye, woke up.
It was like the third period. Game was over.
Time does not exist right now for me and Hank. Hockey playoffs, they've honestly been so confusing to me so far this year because you can't really count on a team being good.
No, every series feels— It goes back and forth so hard. There are blowouts both ways in almost every series.
Yeah, the only—I think I want to say the only series that is 3-0 is the Avalanche, right? Yeah. 3-0 Avalanche.
So everything else has been— Ever since Taylor Luan's tweet. I'm not going to lie.
I watched the first two games. The Predators are 0-3.
Yeah. Yeah.
a little bit so maybe it's kind of good juju for me to just not pay attention. You forgot about home ice.
Means a lot. Alright so Yeah.
Cycle the puck. We'll have Whitney on soon though to break down.
I just got a text. He's here this week? Monday through wednesday we got a packed week all right we'll have whitney on live streams though so oh geez well he no he's a workhorse he's not like biz biz still complaining about that red eye biz was never hank biz was also on tnt biz was on tnt cup checking guys all right let's do uh who's back and then we'll get to max homa'll talk some golf with him, and then we will have Dimitri Bivol on with Billy Football, live from Las Vegas.
If you've noticed that Billy's not here, he is... I basically told him, stay as long as you can in the Bivol camp and get as much content, which means, translation, he'll probably be there for two weeks, and we'll get a blog.
He is... He did already start to make excuses.
That sounded like a Billy excuse, but it turns out it's real. He says that he's trapped in a sandstorm in Las Vegas right now, which I assumed, like anyone else would, that it has something to do with cocaine.
Yeah. Because there's just sand blowing around everywhere.
It's legit. There's a meteorological event happening in Vegas.
Yep. So heaven forbid if Billy Football just gets stuck out and becomes somebody else's problem for the rest of his career.

God forbid.

He has a legitimate excuse this time.

Yes, he is.

He is excused.

Oh, let's go. First one, kind of a serious one.
I've got a lot of tweets, a lot of messages this weekend. Yeah.
Honestly, the past week and month, going back to this new role I have, content development, and what we're going to do with baseball at Barstool. So I'm excited to announce that as of today, we have signed Jake Arrieta.
Let's go. He's our new coworker.
He was on the podcast a few weeks ago. People loved him.
I was down in Austin with him last week. We shot an intro video.
We shot the first podcast episode, which is out today. You got a cupcake? Starting nine.
I did get a cupcake. Also, no cupcake.
Also, no pressure. I was thinking about this.
No pressure. But the best podcast in the world started from Hank flying to Austin.
Someone flying from Chicago and linking up for a first episode in Austin. That's true.
That was the first episode of Pardon My Take. Someday when we become a Jeopardy category.
Actually, they'd cancel that before that. Be like, can't do that.
That was the only. Was that our only podcast ever recorded in Austin? No.
No. The Junk.
Yeah. That's right.
South by Southwest. But yes, I was thinking about that.
There's history. Yeah.
No. And I was down there.
I was kind of going through, giving them some do's and don'ts of podcasting. I was like, I was down here six years ago kind of doing the same thing.
We were planning it out, planning out segments, doing the whole thing. So it's going to be two times a week.
They're going to do interviews. Jake is the fucking man.
Unbelievable. No duh.
I mean, no duh, but it's like we spent the day with him. We worked out.
We ate. It's like he just lives the ultimate athlete.
You know how it is. Kind of like Whitney.
He honestly reminds me of Whitney where it's like he's got the pro athlete. He's the money but he just wants to talk ball but he's just fucking he's the man he golfs chills works out if he deals with his kids and just like wants to talk baseball yeah if you had told me in 2015 that jake arietta would be a co-worker i'd be like oh my god you'd be like i'm gonna make the cubs yeah holy shit uh so make sure you go listen to that starting nine uh they might change the name that's kind of But it's out now.
Go listen. Go support.
Go show some love. Are you saying get rid of the DH? I don't care about the DH.
Did they get rid of it? Oh, no. They added it in the National League.
Okay. Yep.
I'm curious to know what your workout with Jake Arrieta was like. We filmed it.
We were doing snatches. We were doing biceps.
He's a beast. He is a tank.
Did you keep up? I actually did i didn't too bad you know the f45s helped me out yeah what day you on uh i've gone like 10 15 times out of 10 to 15 times oh it's 45 times in the year it's 45 minutes no i've gone three or four days a week since four weeks ago hell yes six pack summer six pack Let's go. No cap actually might happen.
Nope. No cap.
Yes. No.
Yes. No.
It does smell like MF and cap in here. Uh-huh.
Just wait. Wait on it.
I'll be waiting forever. I'll be sitting there.
I'll be Forrest Gump waiting for Jenny to come back. Is tennis.
I don't know how you didn't talk about this, Big Cat, at the top of the show with all the sports things, everything that went on this week. Huge tennis upset.
Never happens in tennis. What tournament? The tennis tournament of the weekend.
Oh, you can't even name it. Jake, Jake, Jake, line.
Don't care. Carlos Alcaraz, not Alcatraz, Alcaraz, 19-year-old, beat Rafa Djokovic and Zverev, who apparently is the number two.
So he beat 1, 2, and 3 on his way to the championship. That's a pretty good weekend for a 19-year-old.
Madrid. That's huge tennis culture.
Being Rafa in Madrid? Come on. Imagine doing that as a 19-year-old.
It's the Madrid Open. What were the odds on him? I need to know in terms of horse racing how big of an underdog this kid was.
I don't know. I gotta look.
Either way, be one, two, and three. That doesn't happen

in tennis. It's worth noting.
Rafa, Djokovic,

Zverev. I don't know who Zverev is, but

Rafa and Djokovic. Number two.
Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. Wasn't he supposed to go on the show?

Zverev? Alcaraz?

Maybe.

Possibly. We've had a list

of tennis people. I think they're like, do you want this

person on? And then Jake was like, he's number two. And we're like,

we probably should. And then we're like, no.
But then we hear Jeannie Bouchard. We're like, yes.
So tennis is back. I mean, big time.
Sports world is on fire because of this kid. It is.
I like the name though. Like that's a very marketable name.
Escape from Alcaraz. This kid might be the baby goat.
Well, let's wait till LeBron says something. No, fuck LeBron.
He still hasn't done his Q&A. Yeah, that's true.
That's never happening. I'm waiting.
I'm going to remind him every week. Still waiting on that Q&A, King.
All right. Is that it? That's it.
All right. PS2.
I've got a couple who's backs. Is that okay? Sure.
All right. So my first who's back of the week is pointless NFL debates because this was going for like all day Thursday, all day Friday.
I saw trickle into the weekend a little bit. And it's people talking about Ryan Tannehill's comments regarding Malik Willis.
Oh yeah. And how they drafted Malik Willis.
And they asked him like, Hey, are you going to be mentoring Malik Willis in the NFL? And he was like, no, that's not really my job to do that. I'm going to try to win the starting position and if he learns from me watching

me then i guess that's a bonus and then people like that's not that's not good teammate that's not a good teamwork mentality and i've got a couple things to say about this first thing is it he's right it's not his job correct to like teach another man how to take your job i don't think there's a a workplace in america where that's your expectation to train somebody to make you unemployed.

Correct.

My second thing,

like looking through all the takes surrounding it, There's a workplace in America where that's your expectation to train somebody to make you unemployed.

Correct.

My second thing, like looking through all the takes surrounding this, is do you really want Ryan Tannehill to show Malik Willis everything there is to know about how to be like Ryan Tannehill? He seems like a decent teammate. Yeah, but like do you – Yeah, I would say that's where I stop.
But if you want a quarterback that's going to mentor your young quarterback

and show him everything that you Yeah, I would say that's where I stop. But if you want a quarterback that's going to mentor your young quarterback and show him everything that you know, I would prefer that it would be a better quarterback than Ryan Tannehill.
Correct. Correct.
I also, what I don't understand is, like, we as a society, I mean, and rightfully so, when you talk about guys in who are excel and win championships and go to that extra level. Like people laud Kobe and MJ and like the true tiger and all these psychos that are so incredibly competitive all the time.
And that's what everyone looks like. Holy fuck.
That's what it takes to be great. And then Ryan Tannehill gives a pretty honest answer of like, yeah, I'm a competitive guy.
I don't want to train someone to take my job. And I was like, whoa, bad teammate.
What? Yeah. How can those two things? I don't understand that.
He's being honest. He's not saying he's going to be mean to him.
He's saying it's the coach's job to coach him, not Ryan Tannehill's job. Yeah.
That's why we sabotage Jake at every turn. Yeah.
Because we know he's coming for a gig, and we're like, not so fast. We're going to get you addicted to every substance.
It'll never happen to you. Including tits.
Yeah, like Tom Brady has definitely had this exact same thought. Right.
And everyone's like, Tom Brady, and rightfully so, is the greatest of all time because he's such a crazy competitor. Peyton Manning, do you know how many years I this is probably because people don't remember like the Peyton Manning Colts and and maybe they were trying maybe this wasn't intentional but they would always just put like someone who if Peyton Manning got hurt the season was officially over that was not counting Jim Sorge years one of my favorite Badgers but like that he Peyton Manning wasn't like oh yeah I'm gonna have a backup that I'm gonna try to you know make sure that if I get hurt like we're gonna be okay I think that's what the problem was in Chicago when you had Mike Glennon Mike Glennon went out of his way to teach Mitch Trubisky everything that he knew about how to be Mike Glennon right and then Mitch goes to Buffalo and then Josh Allen's like here's how you become Josh Allen and now Mitch is good again.
He is. He's back.
My other who's back the week is Drake. Drake's everywhere.
It's all the kids are talking about. Drake was seen in and around Miami for the F1 races.
Are you going to talk about F1? I was. Was he? Yeah, he was at some parties and stuff.
I don't think he went to the actual race. I think I saw him.
You saw Drake? Well, not me. What did he say? I saw a video of him.
Did he recognize you? He definitely went to the race. I thought he was at Churchill Downs.
Maybe he was at both. Oh, you know what? I think they're planes.
That's what it was. That's the video I saw.
I think he was in Miami this week for the F1 events, and then he went to Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby. Wait, when was the F1 race? Sunday afternoon.
Oh, so yeah. Yeah, he was probably he probably took a plane yeah rich people that can go back and forth so uh he also has allen yep that's right he uh he also name-checked ovechkin in one of his most recent songs which is really cool to see and then uh last week on instagram when people were talking about the whole um ja morin's dad carl Carl Anthony Towns' dad thing, Drake slid into the comments and just said that he wanted to defend the players and the players' parents.
Like, we don't need to be attacking them for this sort of thing. And then some guy on Instagram chirped back at him, a guy named Cedric.
Uh-oh. Then Drake replied to him and he said, guess what? I'm going to follow follow your wife on Instagram sounds like she needs a little more excitement in her life he then followed this guy's wife and then DM'd her and he said I'm here for you ma and then they went back and forth it turned into a big thing where this girl ended up writing a reddit post of like today i fucked up because drake

followed me on instagram and is kind of ruining my marriage right now because this guy is down so bad

that he's afraid that drake is actually going to take his wife it's actually great she also

joined twitter for one day posted a picture one picture with her and her husband and one picture

by herself and like got destroyed and then was like i didn't realize like this was twitter was

like this yeah you can't yeah you can't do got absolutely cooked it was like wait a second i have to delete this but drake's also setting a very a very dangerous precedent for any like cucks out there now you have a blueprint as to like how to get drake to fuck your wife you just have to talk shit to him you know come on drake take the bait take the bait yeah follow my wife yeah maybe yeah and be like hey you know what impregnate my wife yeah and then i get money that's actually a good business plan yeah it all started son how were you conceived well i was talking shit to drake it's a great how we met it was a crazy first round between the grizzlies and the timberwolves um okay my who's back is f1 uh miami verstappen shout out hank he had a max par is F1. Miami, Verstappen.

Shout out to Hank.

He had a max parlay.

Max Homa and Max Verstappen to win.

Shout out to the AWL that tweeted at me.

Crazy.

Thoughts on a max parlay, and I said, I love it.

The F1 was...

Inside the mind of a genius right there.

Martin Brundle went viral because he thought he was interviewing Patrick Mahomes,

and it was actually Paolo Bencaro, which was very, very funny. Good to see Paolo was out there without a drink in his hand, I would say.
Those are the best part of the races. F1, great show, great to follow, good, you know, this league, social media drama.
Races kind of take a nap during, but the beginning, they do that every race where he just runs around and just chirps people that are like having conversations and shit. It's so i asked peggy to try to get martin brundle on the show so that would be great if you got him can we just get in the trust tree real quick i can't get into f1 well here's i can't i and there was one i rooted for for seven he passed him that was the only that was it i took a nap and i woke up and i was like wait for seven's in the front and that was it.
I haven't even been able to keep up on the reality show, which is good.

I've enjoyed the first, I think I watched the first season and a half of it.

And I really liked it.

It fell off.

There's all this other live sports on TV.

I can't keep up with it.

It doesn't hold my interest.

I get the celebrity stuff around it is fun to talk about.

I just, I'm trying.

I'm trying real hard to get into it.

No, you're fine because I think that there's been. I like Daniel Ricci Daniel Ricardo.
I root for Daniel Ricardo. Cause I think he's a funny guy, but I don't care.
I still, I still like what he brings to the table, but as for the sport in general, I feel like there's, there's like a large percentage of people in America that got into it for a couple of months. And then they're like, Oh yeah, the actual sport isn't that exciting.
Yeah. No.
And it's's also there's a lot of people now on twitter who are like trying to prove who's the bigger f1 fan i'm just i'm doing it because it's like i'm just i just say push push and then i say fuck vet max for snapping those are basically time tweets yeah because that's my only take on the whole thing or if ferrari wins but i agree like agree. No one passes anyone.

The Drive to Survive is awesome.

I wish I could watch Drive to Survive every day, so I love that.

But the actual races, I agree.

I'm not a big NASCAR guy, you know what I mean, for the same reason.

I can't sit down and watch a whole race. If they were on horses, that would be way better.

Those are the fastest two minutes in sports. And guess what? Cars don't have personality have personality.
You get to bet it, and then you get to bet it again, and you get to bet it again. The problem is, I've tried to bet F1, and it's like, I don't understand.
You just bet one of the top two cars, and then it's just, will one of them pass, and then that's it? Yeah, I think what my issue is, I just don't like cars. I'm not a car guy i've never been interested you go fast which is cool crash mechanics i've never been interested in any sort of that i if they were on horses i would like it if they were in planes i would like it a lot better if they were on motorcycles even i would i would still like that a little bit less trains train do train racing yeah are you kidding me do train racing would be fucking like, one track, and then there's, like, eight trains that start off on their own little mini tracks, and then there's just a giant crash trying to get onto that one track.
Yes, it all converges. The Yankees do that on the scoreboard, the subway race.
Oh, that's cool. Yeah, train racing? Elon Musk, instead of, like, flushing your money down the toilet trying to, like to protect free speech, how about we just build train racing?

We should do train racing.

We should try to figure out the exact same distance and everyone takes a different train

line in the New York City subways.

That's kind of sick.

Yeah.

We should do that.

Train races?

Someone smarter than us figure out the map.

It has to be-

What about tandem bike racing?

No.

Stupid.

It's raining on Friday.

It's raining on Friday.

It rained every Friday.

Literally raining on Friday.

It rained every Friday for a year.

No, but if we could figure out a way, if someone could get a map and be like, here's the equidistance

for every single different line, and we all started the exact same time, and there's some

luck involved.

Oh, there's a lot of luck. But there's also some skill.
Jake, we'll do time trials on the way down to D.C. on Friday.
Yeah. We'll be on the same train, but it'll be time trials.
Yeah. We'll see who can sit at the front of the train.
The farthest part of the front. Maybe let the conductor get you in, put a little hat on me.
Yeah, a little whistle. I started out saying they'll get Jake in there, but then I was like, you know what, I really just want to sit.
Yeah, on his lap. Yeah.
Let me blow the horn. My other who's back is golf.
Hank and I golfed. One out of five down.
I said I was going to golf five times this summer. I hate golf.
It is so brutal. I think I would like it if I golfed all the time, but I don't have the time.
And it just sucks. I think we just got to get you in the simulator.
You get your swing down. You got the putting down.
You got the short game down. Big Cat, no joke, in three holes, hit two, like, gigantic putts.
Like, a 45-yard putt, and then, like, two holes later, hit, like, a 35. High stakes, too.
Foot putt. I keep saying yard.
No, yard. You were right.
Yard, feet, whatever. But, yeah.
Foot. Golf is just, every time I go out, I have fun for a few holes, and then by, like, hole 12, I'm like, all right, I want to go home.
Yeah, I usually have a good amount of fun after the second hole. I start to have a little bit of fun until I get tired.
But there's no worse time in golf than being somebody who doesn't golf, who never golfs, and then going out there to the first tee when everyone can see you as you're hitting off that tee. And people laugh at you.
It's like, I'm sorry, I don't play this fucking sport all the time and you the weight of the world is on your shoulders when you're teeing off on the first yeah we were all bad none of us had played but then we were playing for significant stakes which made it fun but it was also extremely stressful that was fun yeah i had i had a great time big cat on the course was a delight yeah i had i that so hank can attest to this i i think that my job is like a golfer if i could just drive around in the cart and talk shit i was great at talking shit i was talking shit to other people that one guy was really mad at me we let someone play through on a par three and the guy hit it in the sand off his tee shot and i just yelled i was like it's in the sand and he just like like shook his head and then when they came up to the green i just pointed like yep you're in the sand over there and he was so mad at me it was so fucking good did you not need that no i was i was helping him out i was helping him find his ball so yeah golf shit talking and golf i'm a lead at everything else putting and shit talking if i could do those two things and have a great let's all play together this summer sure i I said I'd play five times. I'm going to keep up Everything else, putting and shit talking.
If I could do those two things, I'd have a great time.

Let's all play together this summer.

Sure.

I said I'd play five times.

I'm going to keep up to that.

So that was one.

Loser has to smoke crack cocaine.

Oh, my God.

While standing on top of a train.

Just for fun.

All right, now you got me hooked.

I mean, you're probably not going to lose.

Yeah, that's true, Jake.

P.A.T. and I are golfing.

Jake, we're really bad at golf. And Billy.
I mean, Billy definitely plays not going to lose. Yeah, that's true, Jake.
Pete and I are golfing. Jake, we're really bad at golf.

And Billy.

I mean, Billy definitely plays golf like a football player.

With a baseball bat.

Yeah, he just.

Billy unintentionally does dude perfect on the course.

Billy just puts holes in the fucking fairway.

Okay, Jake, you're who's back.

Let's get to our interviews.

Max Oma and Dimitri Bivel.

My who's back of the week?

The New York Mets.

So this happened late Thursday. We recorded early.
Seven runs in the ninth inning. They won 8-7 on Thursday night.
This could be the season. The first team to 20 wins, and that was one of the craziest comebacks I've seen in an individual baseball game.
They do feel like they've got a horseshoe up their ass. Like, there's something different about this team.
Whereas, they're winning, they've, like, reversed themselves. Because in years past, these are the exact same ways that Mets would find to lose games.
Like, giving up seven runs in the ninth inning. I feel like that's happened nine times over the last five years.
It's mostly just Frank the Tank, like, complaining whenever they lose by one. I can't imagine what would happen if the Mets blew it and what frank would have shot out shout out there's a frank fact checker now well frank who just who just uh scream grabs every one of his tweets because he deletes them now and it's so funny frank frank would probably be happy in a weird way if they were that bad you know like yep you'd be like see i told you how bad that would be i know ball i don't know what we're gonna do in this office if the Mets make the playoffs a deep run that's even a league they are a really good team yes yes okay yeah good yeah that was a great game and they don't even have to grom yeah that's true they're gonna pick up a one of the best free agent signings when he comes back for a week yeah when he comes back okay let's get to our interviews we have max home of first then Dimitri Bivel with Billy football live from vegas before we do that pt you got a quick there's making a sandwich and then there's crafting a sandwich and when i want something perfectly crafted i go straight to boar's head for over a century boar's head has been dedicated to crafting premium deli favorites every ingredient is carefully chosen every recipe made with a purpose their oven gold turkey smoke master ham and ever roast chicken are made from premium whole cuts hand trimmed and perfectly seasoned

last weekend i made the ultimate sandwich oven gold turkey cheese pickles and mustard simple

but unbelievable so next time you're at the deli don't settle get the best boar's head committed

to craft since 1905 discover the craftsmanship behind every bite at boarshead.com okay we now welcome on our very good friend he is now the champion of the wells fargo classic the fifth major as we all know uh it is max homa he just won i't know, I'm not going to say the exact number, over a mil, well over a mil. Incredible round.
And I have to say, Max, let's start here. You did it again.
A weekend where everyone was talking derby, fights, NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, F1 in Miami. No one was watching golf, and you did it again.
It's kind of my M.O. I like it.
I fly way, way, way under the radar. I'm glad this tournament didn't sound like a video game.
And, yeah, I don't know. I'm sneaky.
I saw you guys are doing all the fights, Canelo fights. I saw the derby yesterday.
Everyone's very, very focused on other things other than the golf. And that's, I feel like, when I'm the most powerful.
Yeah. Would you say that you're more of a long shot than Rich Strike or about equal? It's definitely equal.
I can't say I could run quite as clean a race as he did,

but I'd like to say that a couple unknowns got it done on the weekend,

which is the, you know. I can't say I could run quite as clean a race as he did, but I'd like to say that a couple unknowns got it done on the weekend.

It's nice to have a bond with such a gentleman such as Rich Strike.

Yes.

It was so perfect because as most of the tournaments that you're in,

Saturday comes around and people will start tweeting me being like,

yo, your boy Max is doing well. I'm like, what? They're playing golf? Why would they play golf on Kentucky Derby Saturday? And then I woke up today.
How much credit do I get for reminding you that the goal was to win the championship and not just make the cut? Because I did tweet you and I was like, let's go win one today. Yeah, you were up there.
You're right above the guys who tell me they bet money on me to win um that kind of inspiration uh and then the reminder uh it's a big deal because i'm always sitting there on sunday mornings thinking you know what should i be doing today uh should i get 10 10 sounds all right 11 but when somebody tells me go out there and win it it really you know i write it down right take part. It's like right above the guy that says, I bet on you, but then right below the guy that says, get in the hole for your shot.
Because that guy is actually helping you. Yeah.
Yeah, those guys don't get enough credit because they're literally willing to ball into the hole. And every time they yell, the louder they yell, it just seems to go in so much more often.
So we should be thanking them a lot more for sure. So I think we should actually give a lot of this credit to another member of Part of My Take that's not actually here right now.
He's still in Las Vegas. That's Billy Football.
Because Max texted me and Big Cat over the weekend, I think Friday night, please suspend Billy. These videos are fucking gross.
And it was in relation to Billy's most recent snuff film that he tweeted out of animals attacking each other in the wild. I think this one was like a Komodo dragon eating the intestines out of a deer.
It was disgusting, frankly. Has no place on the internet, but I think you could say that that might have motivated you.
That might have given you the killer instinct like Carl Anthony Town, when he watches the gorilla fight video before a game. Maybe Billy just needs to send you, like personally.
Noted killer. Animal.
Carl Anthony Towns. Animal attack videos because you're one for one on weekends that Billy does this.
I wish with all of my heart there was not a link to that, but unfortunately there is. I definitely got some inspiration trying to be the Komodo dragon and not the deer.
Yeah. Cause I real sad.
But yeah, I just think Billy needs like a, there needs to be like a headline, like, Hey, give this three seconds if you want to scroll, but it is just a, I'm going from like a funny big cat joke, a witty pft pun straight into like a cheetah getting its neck throat like out by some boar like it's in your face yeah we've suspended him from posting all animal videos but i think we need to make an exception like at the pga championship i think he needs to tweet yeah a gory animal video at you to get you in that killer we should just text text him. Because you're too nice.
Yeah, we'll text him to you. You need that killer instinct.
All right. I mean, listen, I'll run it for a week.
If I lose the PGA Championship, I'm out. I'm out.
What was going through your head when you almost blew it? Yeah, so many things. What was it? What was it? You were minus nine and Keegan Bradley was minus six.
You six you bogeyed he birdied i was ready to like come into the office i was like oh he's got it we're good and then yeah you just almost choked well i knew i was gonna get blown up especially because i knew you had money on it because i knew you had money on it and second because everybody in the entire crowd was yelling that you had money on it um so i knew that if i lost this not only would it be bad for me uh and and my my golf career would be really bad for my mentions uh via you big cat so that was also maybe that's where the credit should go is to you and and all of your uh i don't even, your henchmen who just like assault me

if I make a bogey.

Yeah.

Oh, all right.

So I got a positive thing for you.

I got a stat for you.

This one's shocking.

Shocked me.

I actually hit up the writer, and I was like, dude, are you sure?

This can't be right.

Since the start of 2021, Max Homa has more worldwide wins than Rory,

Jon Rahm, Spieth, JT, Bryson, DJ, Xander, and Brooks. Yeah, buddy.
You're hot. You are hot.
How many times I've won for someone who never makes the cut. Yeah.
I know. You're hot right now.
There's a stat that I saw, and I'm a big golf stat guy. You know that about me i like to get like elbows deep in the metrics in 2022 your strokes gained ball striking by season is 1.06 which is like the biggest leap of anybody in like the last 10 years over the course of one season what's what's going on there i don't want to point any fingers but that's like that's abnormal that's a huge that's like when brady anderson hit 50 home runs first off uh very impressed i always knew you were elbows deep in the golf statistics game pft you seem like you would love that yep uh second i've always compared myself to brady anderson uh i feel like we are step in step uh the same guy so i just wanted to kind of excel like that but i don't know um just been playing really good golf and uh enjoying it i guess and i got it on the way now so i got dad strength which helps those stats i hear yeah no for sure that was that was a big thing so you you did your gender reveal and it's uh it's a boy right you're gonna have a boy yeah and uh and then you gave an all-time perspective laced uh press conference at the end you're like it's Mother's Day.
It's a boy, right? You're going to have a boy. Yeah.
And then you gave an all-time perspective-laced press conference at the end. You're like, it's Mother's Day.
It's important for me this year. It's for my mom, for my wife who's going to have a kid.
That was really – you really hit every single note that Jim Nance wanted to hear in that speech. Do you think that you have too much perspective now? I'm close.
I'm teetering the line. I'm teetering the line i think i might need to cool it on the perspective but uh yeah sometimes it just kind of comes out you can't really contain when you have all this perspective with the soon-to-be kid uh it's like how do you hold that in yeah you can't you can't i i was hoping though um mother's day know, we all love our moms.
You know, moms are the best. Yeah, yeah, moms are the best.
I love every mom. Every mom.
I do think, I do laugh, though. I was hoping that you would, you know, because you have a baby on the way.
I was hoping that you'd be like, yeah, my wife, she's a dog mom, because that always cracks me up when people are like, happy Mother's Day to my wife who my wife who's a dog mom on that for the six years we've had a kid but i i get it like guys i get it and but like she likes it and i'll do it yeah so for your baby are you adopting or breeding oh man um i'm i'm breeding this one too So I don't think it's the same as the dog. I don't think I'm killing.
You have a lot of people telling me I'm killing dogs in Augusta, Georgia. It's a frightening thought.
But this one, yeah, we bred this one. It felt right.
Yeah. Yeah.
You know, it feels right. Yeah.
Yeah, so we can cut this part because you did tell me what you're going to name your son. The more I think about it, LeBron Homa does not really like, it doesn't roll off the tongue.
We can cut this part though. Would you be able to live if there was a kid named LeBron Big Cat Homa? You had to be linked to that forever? It would be my mortal enemy.
I'd actually, you know what? It would make me live to 150 because I'd wake up every day to try to take that kid down. All right, so I'm putting yours on your life.
You're welcome. Yeah.
We should probably talk about the elephant in the room. I didn't see you use driver on any par threes this weekend.

Do you think my strategy is too forward for golf?

You saw the video.

I was thinking because you mentioned like we had the Kentucky Derby this weekend.

We had all the basketball this weekend.

We had the Dodgers winning two games.

Like so much was going on this weekend in sports. And then you come out there and flex with a driver on par three i just thought that if i did that then it would just it would get so far to the rug they

might not even pay me so uh let you have that moment because you owned it so well and and

according to dave uh portnoy you made two 30 yard putts i saw yeah that is so hard yeah that was hank

actually said 30 yard putts so he was he was giving me credit i think i texted you before i

went out on the round i was like i'm golfing today and today. And you're like, good luck.
And then I think it was maybe an hour and a half that I was just, I texted you back. Yeah.
I was like, this fucking sucks. Golf is the worst.
Yeah. Welcome to hell, buddy.
Is that four more rounds this summer? You got to get in. Do you actually enjoy it? Like when you're out there golfing or are you like, are are you focused in because i remember when we talked to brooks a couple years ago he said that he blacked out between holes like five and 12 because it all kind of like blurs together in a big tournament like this are you just are you actually like focused in on every hole or do you look up and you're like oh shit what happened to my round i guess i'm almost done yeah i i fully focus on all the holes brooks is brooks is better than me and has been able to get away with that one.
If I don't focus for a little bit, that's where it goes real sideways. Do I enjoy golf? It really depends the day, but I think that's for everybody, you guys included.
I think some days you're like, oh, wow, this isn't so bad. And then some days, you know, you want to just quit.
So I'm fully focused. And sometimes if I'm playing bad, that doesn't make it any better.
But I try really hard. Yeah.
And I got to give credit to Hank, who is kind of pseudo swing coach for me, caddy, mentor out on the course. His recipe for literally all my bad shots was like pouring more drinks and giving me more weed so um really caddying yeah that is top tier caddying he was he was just like here smoke more smoke more smoke more i got worse i don't like beer pong when you're drinking you always tell people i'm so much better at this game drinking and i don't think you are but you think you are you are.
And that's big. There's a magic zone for sure.
And I've seen like a medical study on this. Billy actually might have told me about it.
Oh, good. It's like you reach the God mode when you're just buzzed and you're at like that exact level of a .08 because you stop overthinking things.
So if you can keep like at the PGA, I don't want to tell you, you know, you're like obviously as locked in as you've been in a overthinking things so if you can keep like at the pga i don't want to tell you

you know you're like obviously as locked in as you've been in a long time but if you like maintained a 0.08 blood alcohol content throughout the entire tournament i think that's when you're really going to be at your best so my problem is is i love so much going way past 0.08 so like I'm either a zero or I'm above that.

So it's tough.

God mode sounds great, but then I think I need, like, six more. Are you, like, confident going to the PGA? You're like, you know what? This is the year.
This is the year. Well, first I'm going to make the cut.
Yep. And then there are going to be a lot of people with expectations on you this year, Max.
Yeah, I mean, it's in a state where my last name is half of that in Oklahoma, which is – that's going to be an enormous deal. I'm sure the – That's a fun fact.
Now we've got to bet on this. Well, I bet on you every tournament.
It doesn't pay off very well except for days like today. Yeah, but yeah, that's a wild stat right there.
But yeah, I'm going for three mid-cuts in majors in a row, which that hasn't been done in a while for most people. So that's definitely step one.
But yeah, I feel confident. I feel comfortable.
Yeah, I'm excited. I know I played the course once.
It's hard, which should be good for me. I've been playing good on hard golf courses lately.
So, I mean, you never know. Can we ask like a real question, like a question you probably more likely get asked on foreplay or or any of these other like actual golf shows what yeah what changed about you in the last couple years steroids besides the steroids um man what changed i don't know i was actually a real answer i was a really good college player i won national championship my senior year or my conference championship.
I was a good player. And when I got on tour, I tried changing some things to try to be, um, what I thought I needed to be.
And it set me back a while and then it killed my confidence, which I already struggled with a bit. And yeah, um, I've always had a good work ethic and I just feel like I'm on the right track and I'm starting to believe in myself again.
And just like those two things it's been fun because i kind of feel sounds dumb like i know people all live like their high school and college glory days but i just feel like i'm kind of back to that where i go to tournaments expecting to win a bit more um and i don't know i just feel like more comfortable i don't feel i've always struggled with being a little bit insecure about um you know who i'm playing with or whatever but it's starting to get get comfy. Playing with Ricky and Jason Day and Rory McIlroy and all these guys, I don't know.
I just feel like I'm coming into my own a bit. For about a year, year and a half, I've been feeling that.
I'm just trying to let the golf follow that lead. Should we stick with the positive stuff? Did that, did that help? I mean, I'm a little biased, but I really liked the positive stuff.
Okay. All right.
We'll do it. We'll do it.
We'll do it. It kills me.
You're going to kill me early. I'm going to die.
You'll never win the masters because I'll be dead and you won't have the positive guy tweeting at you. Yeah.
I mean, all right. You know what? No.
You guys, negativity on the weekend, positivity in the week. I think that's totally fine.
I like that. We'll go positivity leading into the tournament.
And then all that changes into Killer Max mode, which starts Friday when you watch the animal death video. Yeah.
Okay. I think we could go like, we'll go super positive.
I like being positive about you because I like you very very much and I genuinely am rooting for you especially when I'm betting on you which is every single time but I think we go positive Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday we go sarcastically positive if you start sucking I'm all in on So you know I'm being mean, but you could read it as me being nice. See, I like that because, yeah, speaking of fucking perspective, I'm going to just be able to use my own and decide if it's just truly genuine or if it's sarcasm.
I'm going to go genuine a lot., this seems like a fair compromise. Okay, perfect.
All right, so last question for me because I know you got dinner. Thank you for joining us.

I saw our good friend Scott Van Pelt was looking for some credit because you hung out with

him on wednesday um do you do you back up after that big controversy he had you do you back up do you stand by him what is the controversy i mean he i don't know if we can say it on if we want our podcast to be monetized on youtube we're not allowed to discuss exactly what he said but you saw like you saw the news last

trending yeah okay well listen

um We're not allowed to discuss exactly what he said. But you saw the news last week.
You saw them trending, yeah. Okay.
Well, listen. I'm biased.
Scott's the man. Stanford Steve, also the man.
They welcomed me into their home. We watched five TVs of games.
Scott bought me a Dr. Pepper and a Pop-Tart, cherry flavored.
So I will ride with SVP to the day. It's a lot of sugar.
Do you know how much Scott makes a year? Oh, it's a lot. Yeah, he bought you a Pop-Tart? Well, that's all I asked for because I'm – Because the confidence issue.
You probably were sitting there like they were probably – Scott was probably having a great steak dinner, and Max was like i'll just go with a pop tart he's got his caviar the welcoming present that he gives everyone yeah i i never i've never had i didn't really want to go straight to caviar pop i like pop tarts pop that's too good yeah scott didn't do anything we just were joking that uh there's always that one person who's trending on twitter and it's like, I stand by this person. You can't cancel this person.

Then you try to find the actual original tweet it doesn't exist so um he is i hope he's uncancelable because he's actually a really nice guy he's the best he is the reason why we did that joke is he's the most likable person in the world yeah he, he really is. Even when people bag him on Twitter,

he'll come back and be like,

listen, I'll try to get better.

It's like, man, you're just really cool.

Yeah, well, except for the fact

that he violated his journalistic ethics

by buying you snacks as somebody that he covers.

We can talk about that at J School in the summertime.

Yeah, we'll talk about that later.

Yeah, yeah, new Big J meeting.

Yeah, I'll have a word with him.

Dimitri, I was there.

I was on the call.

It was incredible.

Incredible performance. I want to talk about the actual fight, but I got to ask a was on the call.
It was incredible. Incredible performance.

I want to talk about the actual fight, but I got to ask a very important question first.

How many quesadillas last night after the win?

To be honest, no quesadillas.

It was a burger.

One burger.

I don't have a time to eat two burgers or three.

It was crazy, though.

It was great. You boxed the perfect fight.
And I was, you know, like I said, I was sitting there and I was shocked with how great you were. That's no offense to you, but we're not used to seeing Canelo Alvarez struggle the way he did.
Were you shocked by the scorecard at all? Because I thought you won the fight way more convincingly than the scorecard had it. You know, of course, I felt that I won this fight.
And when I was standing and heard scorecards, 115, 113, on the one second, I thought maybe it's not my victory one, but another second I thought and still. Yes, yes, and still.
There was one moment in, I think it was the fifth round, when you got Canelo with a couple nice shots, a couple nice combinations, and he put his guard down, and he asked you, he said, like, come on, bring it on, hit me again, keep hitting me. and he was almost challenging you to get off your game a little bit and to try to make you too aggressive and you just kind of showed patience you like waited back and you did not play his game and come in for the strikes what was going through your head at that moment because to me I saw that and I was like I think he's just alpha braining Canelo Alvarez right now because it looked like he was just giving himself up he was like hit me yeah you know strategy strategy was not to be predictable and if he asked me to punch him I thought I don't want to do this because he wants to to me he wants me to do it and I thought no I don't want to do what you want to do yeah there was a many times throughout the fight similar to what PFT just said Canelo was on the ropes and essentially asking you to hit him like multiple rounds and you you were very like diligent you did not go out of your game plan.
Was the corner telling you that every round? Like, hey, he's trying to get you to go into the corners with him. He's trying to get you to hit him on those ropes.
Don't go for it. Fight your fight.
You know, in my training camp, coach said to me, don't be too close to him when he's on the ropes because he tried to counter-punch you by right hand or left uppercut and be focused and be accurate and be careful. Yeah, it was exactly what you did.
So, big question.

How much of your win goes to Billy football? How much? I think 30%. That's pretty good.
He taught me through the ball, you know, like right hand. Yeah, activate your shoulders.
I like that. He was also posting some pretty aggressive videos, some animal attack videos over the weekend.
I don't know if you saw those, but those get me amped up. When I watch Billy put a video up there of like an alligator, likeocating a pig it makes me want to fight i actually i actually have a bunch of questions um yeah yeah what was what was going through your head when kenel picked you up oh yeah yeah like when he picked you up i just thought oh he he's a little bit nervous and and he want to show me how he's strong.
But it wasn't good for him because I see he's a little bit tired, and he lost his power. He wastes his power, you know, on this moment.
Yeah. Yeah, no, that was clear frustration from Canelo in that moment that he wasn't able to, to, to get inside and do what he wanted to do.
How, how are your biceps right now? Because you said afterwards and I was watching it. Oh wow.
Let's see it. Let's put, put up in the camera.
So if you didn't see the fight, uh, Canelo just hammer It's good to see. If you can't see.
Can you describe? Yeah, he hammered Dimitri in the biceps all night. And you said afterwards, he's like, he hit my arms, he never hit my head.
But he was going at your arms. For those at home who are listening, if you were to see his arm, or like someone took a baseball bat and just hit him

repeatedly in the arm with a baseball bat he's got you know not only does he have bruises it's probably going to come out black and blue the next two days it's gonna be one of those ones where it's going to be there for a while but it looks like a bone contusion it's it looks real bad from in person take a picture billy and send it to liam so he can put it in the youtube so people can see it.

How nice does it feel like when your

jab is really cooking, Dimitri? When you've got him at arm's length and you just know that your jab's landing, he can't figure out a way. How great does that feel as a fighter? Do you get confidence when your jab is landing so effectively of course you feel confidence every

time when you catch your opponent when you threw on his hand left hand or something else or you give him a punch air not you just air or some your block you you feel confidence every time Yeah, so going into the fight, last night, if we rewound 24 hours ago, yesterday, and somebody had asked you, how confident are you that you're going to win this fight? Where were you at? Were you like 80%, 90%, 100%? You know, I try to believe. I try to believe in my victory on 100%.
I try it. You know, if you don't do it, your training camp is, you can throw it on the trash.
Believe, believe, and I believe in myself. Yeah, so I got to give Billy credit.
Billy was the only one, I think, in the arena that wasn't part of your family or like fight camp that was rooting for you and believed in you. He told us on Friday that you were going to win.
He said that you were going to win because you – I think his reasoning was you cook a really good steak. So not really boxing reasons, but we laughed at him.
So Billy was, he was, he was screaming, yelling for you. Like he was the only one in the crowd.
It was 99.9% Canelo fans and then Billy going crazy for you. So he deserves credit.
Yeah. So being ringside rooting for Boval was kind of dicey because the whole crowd was Mexican.
And I'm very glad that Boval doesn't know what pandejo means in Spanish because that's the only thing I was hearing. And the whole time I was wondering, do you know Spanish? No, no.
Nothing. That probably actually helped.
It probably did help. Yeah, it means champion.
They were saying, let's go, champion. I hate you, champion.
Yeah. You're calling you champion.
Yeah, but Dejo means champion. Yeah.
So what was it like after the fight? What was your post-fight celebration? How crazy was it last night? How was it? My earring, right? I just gave a couple interviews and came in my room and a lot of people came to me, friends, some guys from WBA, from Grand gloves for me. Why you didn't work here? I was texting Taylor.
By the way, shout out Taylor. That's your strength and conditioning coach.
That was probably one of the main reasons. Huge reasons why he was so conditioned late in the fight.
Shout out Taylor. Basically, you spent all night responding to text messages and being just an absolute absolute great guy just responding to all the support he got and I was disappointed because I was told Taylor was like we might go out but you know like I'll text you when we go out so I was sort of just waiting around but I should have I was trying to get here we might go play blackjack later yeah are you going to celebrate tonight Dimitriri, with Billy? Not tonight.
Tonight I should go to Los Angeles. Oh, there we go.
Take Billy with you. Just take Billy with you.
If you want to go home, literally just take him. He goes with you.
Who is the most – did you get any text messages from famous people, from any celebrities that wanted to congratulate you? No. I thought both of you.
From Triple G. Oh, Triple G, yeah.
So you said it after you ruined Eddie's fight in September. It was a little bit of a joke, you know.
Yeah, no. It was funny, but I would assume you'll accept, you want a rematch with Canelo, right? Like, if he wants a rematch? Yeah, we can talk about it.
No problem. If I take this fight, why not rematch? We can talk about it, of course.
I mean, I honestly think it would go the same way, the way that you fight um we know eddie very well now he's got to pay you more let's get you more money yeah why not why not of course more quesadillas more burgers yeah three burgers four burgers what was crazy was the day before the fight um there was talks about canelo fighting usik at 201 did you hear about that yeah maybe someone maybe someone asked him would you like to fight usik and maybe joshua that's like ridiculous ridiculous question a ridiculous answer i think well i i gotta give you credit, Demetri, because there's kind of like an old saying in boxing, like, you know, a great small guy can beat a good big guy, and Canelo's a great small guy. That means you're a great big guy because you – you know what I mean? Like, that elevates you to the next level because you showed it on Saturday night that you're not – it's hard to go up and wait class and you outclassed Canelo on Saturday night in his house.
He said that he thought he was very good. He said that he outclassed him.
He said that he was a show. What's the question? What's the question? Yeah, there was no real question.
I was just saying you're awesome. You say you're very good.
Yeah, I was just saying you're very good in talking about weight classes. Like, I don't know if Canelo can go up when he can't.
You know what I mean? He went up to you and you were better than him. Yeah, but I respect him a lot for Canelo because full weight classes, he was the champion.
It's great. Yeah, you're right.
Canelo deserves all the credit in the world because he fights any weight class and he takes on everyone. So you're right on that, but you were fantastic.
Yeah, I'm still kind of in awe. What do you say, Billy? Quick question.
Which was the belt you wore off him?

Did you wear a belt off him?

No.

No.

No.

Well, I saw you walk into the ring with one belt,

and you walked out with two.

Oh, that was just the one that was up for grabs.

It just was my belt,

and the WBA made the new belt for this fight.

Billy can make you a belt.

Yeah.

The Billy belt.

You're the Billy champion, and take care of him.

He's now your problem.

Yeah.

Thank you. belt for this fight.
Billy can make you a belt. The Billy belt.
You're the Billy champion. Take care of him.
He's now your problem. He's yours.
If you want a guy just to spar with just a punch in the face to get ready for your next fight, that's your guy. Yes.
I got a belt. Yeah, He does.
Did Billy ever show you his fight,

Dimitri?

He should fight against

Jake Paul.

When he went up with the fireworks and everything, I was like, holy fuck, this is awesome. Yeah, it's great and it's fun and it gives me more joy to the fight, you know? Yeah, absolutely.
Well, congratulations, man. I'm terrified congratulations man yeah billy do you have any other last questions i just gotta say yeah yeah oh well that's question uh boval i think you need to for you know the mexican fans you gotta say the true meaning of cinco de mayo after getting it wrong what's cinco de mayo yeah yeah of course how i know what What is Cinco de Mayo after getting it wrong.
What's Cinco de Mayo? Yeah, yeah, of course. Now I know what is Cinco de Mayo.
Yeah, you know I asked this one Mexican guy, I don't want to say his name because he will be mad at me. He will be mad at me.
And he said this is an independent day. but one guy from mexican television asked me what is the cinco de mayo ask it's independent day but he said no this is a war this is a battle when the mexican army won french army yeah we had to make that correction because he unfortunately said on media media.
We're big amount of corrections, holding ourselves accountable. You know what I'm saying? Now we know.
Now we know. All right.
Well, Dimitri, thank you. Congrats again.
And honestly, I was going to say take care of Billy, but we don't care. He he's he is your problem he's your toy yeah thank you make sure you translate that last part yeah yeah yes he's okay yeah yeah he's okay he's okay all right thanks guys appreciate it all right see you guys thanks billy thanks billy job, Billy.
I don't know if I'm getting out of here

because there's a sandstorm. Yeah, that's fine.

I literally told you if you can

just hang out with Dimitri Bivol for as

long as you can and as long as you can write a

blog, you're excused.

You have to still zoom in to

all your other things, but you

if you can do a good story

I need to get home.

I have my dog at home. I'm trying to get home and I can't get home

Look at this

Look like I'm really serious. This isn't a St.
Patrick. Oh, wow.
That actually is a sandstorm

Just be well behaved

I literally behave and be like, we're working. Vegas.
I literally can't leave Vegas. We started too high of a kid.
All right. Let's see you, Billy.
Hey, it's Rhea from Trix in the Office. It's officially mini skort season, and Abercrombie has the ones to go out in.
Their Scarlet Mini is a classic. It's one of those skirts that fits the outfit vibe for any plans and i'm excited to style their new sienna skort it's a little more flirty and it's perfect for date night make plans to go out in abercrombie shop their newest arrivals in store and online let's do our monday reading jake you have it for us yes so this will be my first time reading it through too so i really don't what we're getting into.
Is that an excuse? No. Okay.
Why would it be an excuse? I don't know if you screw up a word. I mean, if I curse.
A lot of pressure. That's why.
Oh, you're reading it verbatim. Oh, yeah.
You're reporting. You're reporting on the post.
You're not acting. This is quotes.
Yep. You're right.
You're right. I get what you're saying.
So the title is, what is TIFU? T-I-F-U. Today I fucked up.
Oh, okay. What does it mean? Today I fucked up.

Nice.

He's reading it.

Yeah.

By spraying Afrin nasal spray up my penis.

Ooh.

Okay.

So I know y'all are confused.

It's mainlining.

I noticed you giggled a little with the penis word there.

It's just anatomy.

I've taken steps on this show from things I used to not say.

We've all got penises.

It's just a matter of fact.

My son learned that.

He watches me in the shower.

He goes, oh, look, your penis.

Yep.

There it is.

So I know you all are confused as to why.

He says, oh, it's so small.

Where is it?

He says, why is mine bigger?

Fuck, shut up.

So I know you all are confused as to why I do that. So I'm i'm gonna explain what my logic was then i'll explain why it didn't work i thought that since it clears up your nose so well it's true you don't even need to explain this logic we got it already yeah like as see we know as former or not former as recovering addicts from afrin i've wanted to inject it in every workforce since it clears up your nose so well, maybe it would clear up the penis in a similar way.
Okay, this is my first question. It's like, what is he trying to clear up in his dick? Chlamydia, clap.
Yeah, does he have it? Stones, you're a stone guy. Oh, there you go.
Yeah, he's probably trying to dissolve some of them kidney stones. Sometimes you get like a weird itch in your dick.
That's also probably an STD. As in widen the inside of the urethra so cum could shoot out with less resistance oh okay he was trying to shoot ropes yeah he was getting he was going he was basically like the water pressure in a hotel he wanted to hack it he's going for velocity he's basically it's like a spider attack you know for a base for a pitcher far as things that like guys care about, that girls absolutely do not care about go being like, yeah, I just really would like to shoot bigger loads.
I'm going to just take a wild guess that this guy might watch too much porn. Yeah, probably.
Cause I don't think any woman is out there and she's like, you know what? He's, he's a nice guy. He's funny.
He's got a stable life. He's got a great job, and he loves me, and he treats me like a queen.
But I just wish that I could choke on his ropes, and they're just too thin. His ropes are like – every single rope is off speed.
I just want a fastball once. I want 99 on the black once.
I want silly string. Basically, I wanted to make some epic cum shots.

Yep.

Okay.

Yep.

So that's, yep.

All right.

Turns out it doesn't work that way at all.

I found out later how Afrin works while doing some research on it.

After the fact, this is just the guys being dudes.

This dudes rock.

It is to read the directions after you've fucked up the installation of everything.

And this is the best example of it because I'm not going to read the directions until after I put this item into my penis. Yes.
When you get sick, what happens is the blood vessels in the lining of your nose get inflamed. They get bigger.
Afrim works as a vasoconstrictor. That means it constricts your blood vessels, makes them smaller, which is why it clears your nose up so well.
Now, here's how a male erection works. Blood flows into your penis, engorging your blood vessels, which is what causes the erection.
Your penis is full of blood. Now, do you see where I'm going with this? What do you think would happen if I vasoconstricted my penis? I'm guessing that you probably just can't get a boner.
I don't know. Yeah.
Me and my girlfriend my girlfriend were gonna have sex i went into the bathroom and sprayed the nasal spray up my dick i was gonna try to surprise my girlfriend with some super intense and strong cum shots hey happy mother's day uh i you know like a lot of places were filled for brunch but i got you something better i'm gonna shoot the Biggest of my life what ended up happening instead was i couldn't get hard well no surprise there my blood vessels were constricted from the afferent my girlfriend is a very sweet person and a very understanding person i apologize i i think i think you're an idiot and she knows that that's one of those situations like my girlfriend is so understanding no no she knows she's dating a fucking labrador retriever i apologized to her for not being able to get hard then she said it was fine and asked me if everything is okay if i'm anxious or nervous about anything i decided to tell her the truth i sprayed afrin nasal spray up my penis i said before that she's an understanding person and she is but this was enough to perplex her she just looked at me with the most confused look on her face she was like what the fuck bro i explained how i wanted to come further she just burst out laughing and was like that's not how that works she proceeded to tease me more about it throughout the night i don't think i'm gonna live to live this one down. Don't use nasal spraying your dick, guys.
And girls, too. I don't imagine that it would do anything good in the vagina either.
TLDR. Sprayed Afrin nasal spray into my penis.
Could it get hard? Girlfriend was perplexed as to why I tried that to begin with. Didn't have sex and she's still teasing me about it.
My ego is now as small as my penis. Yeah, it's tough.
She's Roman. There you go.
There should be a new product for Roman just called Roman Loads. Roman Ropes.
Roman Ropes. Jesus Christ.
It sounds like she is understanding, but this might be one of those things that's so embarrassing. Girls obviously talk about their sex lives with other girls.
She's probably not going to bring this one up to her friends because at that point, that then would require a conversation back to her about, like, why are you dating this guy? Yeah. You know what you need to do is you need to, like, her friends and your friends, you need to convince your friends to do it so then they can all be, like, our boyfriends are idiots.
Yeah. We had a pack.
Yeah. Like, oh, it must be like a TikTok trend or something.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Just, that's what you should say is just like, it's a TikTok trend. And I didn't know that it was going to be bad.
Yeah. And then she'll be like, oh, you're an idiot for following, for believing everything you see on TikTok.
Yeah. You can do any, you can say anything's a TikTok trend.
And next thing you know, you're ripping a man's jeans off of his ass.

Yeah.

It works like that.

It's a great life hack.

So, yeah, just don't spray nasal spray into any other orifice except for your nose.

I'm not even asking that dangerous, as we've seen on the show.

Ears, it sounds like, could work.

Ears could work.

Yeah, like if you get off a long flight and your ears haven't popped yet, and I don't have any other then nasal spray is probably my first go-to hey can i took a red eye no big deal thank you for your service thank you for thanking us i also like how this guy didn't even consider to himself like wait what is the nasal spray going to do once it goes into my girlfriend's vagina yeah that was not no that's never a thought she'll probably squirt he's He's not. He doesn't sound like someone who's thinking about his significant other ever.

All right.

Okay, numbers.

Going for two in a row.

Jake, has anyone gotten two in a row?

Seven.

I don't believe so.

I did, but it was off.

All right.

Remember, I did it on whatever.

I think I did short porch in here, and then we did PMT.

It's bad in practice.

It was an unofficial two in a row.

25.

22. I'm going gonna go with 87 Hank 7 7 7 59 Hank what'd you guess? Third time.

Okay.

Love you guys.

The human body can drink so much water that they don't have to piss.
