Speaker 1 Experienced. On today's part of my take,

Speaker 1 we've got the winners of the weekend, Max Homa off his Wells Fargo victory, the fifth major. We also have Dimitri Bivo with Billy Football, his longtime trainer.

Speaker 1 Great two interviews, winners of the weekend. Great sports weekend.
We had hockey playoffs, NBA playoffs, Kentucky Derby, big fights. Max played in a golf tournament that no one watched.
We did it.

Speaker 1 Wait, I said I was going to be positive to him.

Speaker 1 Max won a golf tournament that was huge, huge, and he's the man. We're also going to do who's back of the week.
We have a Monday reading read to us by our darling Jake.

Speaker 1 A great, great Monday episode after a great, great sports weekend.

Speaker 5 And we're when Cool Creamy Ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce.

Speaker 5 Say howdy, partner, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch Sauce only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 5 No place to hang out on washing.

Speaker 5 And then I can't game all on the sun. Oh, no, we're gonna rock it down to Elite Trick Avenue,

Speaker 5 and then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 5 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Elene Trick Avenue.

Speaker 1 Today is Monday, May 9th, and it was the weekend of upsets. We had them all.
We had Rich Strike 80-1, Kentucky Derby. We had Dimitri Bivil win against Canelo Alvarez on Saturday night.

Speaker 1 We had Max Homa actually win a golf tournament.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 2 And the Mavericks won.

Speaker 1 And the Mavericks won. And Chris Paul fouled out.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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,

Speaker 2 the 17-year-old kid's mom, had to escort him out of the stadium and take him out of the middle.

Speaker 1 Embarrassing for the mom, also, verbal meme, Ryan Rossillo sitting in his house in Manhattan Beach, Arthur Fist, watching that video. Being like

Speaker 2 he is Chris Paul's mom.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he is everything to Chris Paul. He's Chris Paul's everything.
What's the movie? Everything everywhere all the time or something?

Speaker 2 Incredibly close, yeah, and extremely loud.

Speaker 1 That's it, right?

Speaker 2 Chris Paul next to his TV.

Speaker 1 That's Ryan Rosillo's Chris Paul's love story. Love, actually.

Speaker 1 The Chris Paul, Ryan Rossillo story. We'll talk about NBA.
I think we got to start with the Derby.

Speaker 2 Let's start with the horse race.

Speaker 1 We got to start with the Derby because Rich Strike,

Speaker 1 I think most people watched Kentucky Derby if you didn't.

Speaker 2 Rich Strike, 80-1.

Speaker 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

Speaker 1 sunk.

Speaker 2 I think that was pre-Titanic.

Speaker 1 I think it was 1912 was the Titanic. Fact check, Jake.
Either way, crazy, crazy story. If you saw it, it was an incredible run.

Speaker 1 Basically, every horse ran. 1912.
There we go. Every horse ran in a blistering pace, and then they all had jelly legs.

Speaker 1 And Rich Strike, the overhead view that was shared, it was an all-time, all-time Kentucky Derby.

Speaker 1 To put it into perspective, 80 to 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.

Speaker 1 Buster Douglas was 42 to 1, and Rich Strike was 80 to 1. I think the Bears right now are 80 to 1 to win the Super Bowl, so anything's possible, but it was insane.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 to get a little technical on horse racing, Rich Strike 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.

Speaker 1 Those horses

Speaker 1 barely ever win another race, let alone the Kentucky fucking Derby.

Speaker 2 Well, Rich Strike also didn't know that it was going to be racing until like the night before the race, because I think it was like the 24th horse. Yes.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 Rich Strike hit a speed that was two miles per hour faster than any horse in that race in the last 10 years. Right.
Which is crazy. And he ran 60 feet longer than the runner-up in the Kentucky Derby.

Speaker 2 So he ran farther in this race and still caught him from behind.

Speaker 2 It was awesome. And I love this horse because the horse has like an attitude.

Speaker 1 Oh, he's biting every horse. He was trying to eat another horse right after he won.

Speaker 2 He was biting. It was Luis Suarez of horses.
Yep. He was trying to bite the other horse.

Speaker 2 He was trying to bite the jockey of the other horse.

Speaker 2 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 because the horse was biting his kneecap after after the victory.

Speaker 2 Act like you've been there before, Rich Strike. But 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.

Speaker 2 You got to be like, I'm going out on top. Rich Strike is going to be pictured in the back of a limo in Vegas with like cocaine and hookers.
It should get fat.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 It's not, Rich Strike is not going to become like the new secretariat of horses.

Speaker 1 No, no, he, again, like, I know, I'm i'm trying to think of what it would be like a thirty thousand dollar claiming race like those licester city yeah but those races those races are are basically designed if your horse is not good enough you put it up in a claiming race because it's 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 thirty thousand dollars a fucking ticket to cash for i don't know it was millions and it's probably going to be even more after this but it's such an improbable improbable, improbable story.

Speaker 1 I think it was the trainer was doing an interview after, it might have been the owner,

Speaker 1 the day after, so Sunday morning, and he 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 10.
It was like Ricky Bobby.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 It's, it's, it's all like, and every step of it is crazy because, like, the owner, so horse racing, it's maiden race, and then it goes to claiming, then allowance, then stakes, and there's different grades in all of these.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Or sorry, the owner. The trainer had only won one major league game.
He hadn't won anything else besides that. And the jockey had never won at this level either.
They basically,

Speaker 1 it's Slum Dog 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.

Speaker 1 I mean, 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...

Speaker 1 You couldn't, you could have asked me before and I wouldn't have been able to, 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.

Speaker 1 I had no idea who it was. No idea.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 And we're waiting for the other shoe to drop because the horse ran such a good race for being so on. It was an orphan.
It was essentially an orphan before this race.

Speaker 1 And I just.

Speaker 1 The only race that it won was the claiming race. It lost six other races.

Speaker 2 I have a feeling that this horse is going to be trashed in the media

Speaker 2 over the course of the next week.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 And to have a horse that fucking tries to eat the other horses after it finishes,

Speaker 2 that's what horse racing needs to be appealing to Gen Z.

Speaker 1 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, what, you know,

Speaker 1 it entered so late, all these things.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 There's been some bad stories about horse racing recently.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 the greatest guy in horse racing, Bob Bafford, mistreating horses.

Speaker 1 Wouldn't it be perfect if you have an 80 to 1, a shot that like everyone's going to look at and be like, $30,000, we could have bought this horse. I guarantee everyone was saying that after.

Speaker 1 I think they're going to, 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.

Speaker 1 Not that it needed to be saved, but it's going to save horse racing this year when you had the Bob Baffert looming over everything and some bad vibes. 80 to 1 fixes everything.

Speaker 2 The other owners are going to be pissed, though. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 The other owners and the other owners are.

Speaker 2 No, but they don't realize. It's not like in Major League Baseball when in 1995, 96, you've got...

Speaker 2 you know, ticket prices 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.

Speaker 2 Like under the night of the moon, this horse was entered into the race, came up, kicked the shit out of them, and then tried to eat their horses afterwards. They're not going to stand for that.

Speaker 2 I just want to say that I'm on team Rich Strike in this. I think that Rich Strike is going to get unfairly maligned.

Speaker 1 And personally, I don't care.

Speaker 2 I don't care if there was any funny business behind the scenes.

Speaker 2 I personally just like this horse.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 he's not going to win the preakness. So it will go away quickly.

Speaker 2 He just retires. I hope.

Speaker 1 Right, but he's not 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,

Speaker 1 if you want to stay woke, what's the perfect way to be like, what a story, what a Kentucky Derby, Baffert who?

Speaker 1 You get an 80-1, longest shot in over 100 years. This story of guys buying a horse for $30,000.
It's the perfect story. And

Speaker 1 obviously, like I said, I don't think it's going to save horse racing, but it did for a day. They should win.

Speaker 1 And it's going to lead us all the way to the preakness where everyone's going to talk about it, and we'll get, hopefully, we don't get milkshake ducked by the owner or the trainer.

Speaker 2 Yeah, did this horse have bad tweets back in the day? Was he problematic with his political?

Speaker 1 Who did this horse vote for? This horse was in Charlottesville. Yeah.
What the fuck? Where the hell did this horse go? It's a police horse.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 No, 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

Speaker 2 having a horse racing take was just great. It was perfect.
He said, that horse horse winning the Kentucky Derby today is a good example of why an expanded college football playoff is needed. Love it.

Speaker 2 That horse hadn't won all the races leading up, but it got its chance, and that's what happened.

Speaker 1 It is. It's perfect.

Speaker 1 It is UMBC.

Speaker 2 It is. Well, it's like Mississippi State.
Yeah. Like getting hot at the right time and somehow beating Alabama.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, it's a crazy, crazy long shot odds. Every part of the story is nuts.
You know, no one except our security guard who

Speaker 1 shout out Danny and Mike who were with us in Vegas, they did have a ticket on Rich Strike.

Speaker 1 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, you know what horse that has literally not one single person has been on today?

Speaker 1 Rich Strike. And then he put 20 bucks on it.

Speaker 6 And PFT, you, you know, we talked about, I was like, give me a number for roulette. And you said 21.
Oh, there you go. It was 21.
Someone mentioned that. I was like, we should have,

Speaker 1 I should have been thinking higher level. I didn't tap into that.
Because I immediately was like, oh, man, if I put a thousand bucks on it. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I put money on roulette. Yeah, didn't hit.
Oh, shit. My bad.
But that was because it was. The sides were right.
We just read it wrong. Correct.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's out there. It's an us problem.

Speaker 1 It was so crazy.

Speaker 1 If you haven't seen the aerial view of the run,

Speaker 1 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 five seconds. It wasn't even set.

Speaker 1 I think.

Speaker 7 Yeah. The coolest part about this is if any horse, if the favorite was in that position, it still would have been crazy.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 6 They were selling t-shirts at the Churchill Downs, and they had like 10 horses on each side. And so

Speaker 6 he wasn't even on there. Right.

Speaker 1 Right, because he was add-on on Friday.

Speaker 6 If you bought a Kentucky Derby

Speaker 6 shirt, you don't even have the winner on the shirt.

Speaker 1 This is a dude who played

Speaker 1 high school baseball and then maybe a little bit of softball and adult beer league

Speaker 1 went to the World Series and hit a home run.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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 a little smile on their little horse faces.

Speaker 2 We should compliment horse racing though. Here's the real story.
Nobody died. Yeah.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 So that's all really horse racing has to do to make most fans happy. But a long shot story is pretty cool.

Speaker 1 It is. And it gets everyone talking like all the stories afterwards.
People are talking about the owner and the trainer and the jockey. Like the jockey.

Speaker 2 There's a lot of overtaking in this race.

Speaker 1 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 uh 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 race though right the the owner had never won a big race the trainer i don't think had ever won a big race no it's either the trainer had won one graded stakes win in 30 years and the owner had never been in an allowance race which is still a step below stakes races it's it's all nuts and it's it's one of the coolest stories say i'm just gonna say it it saved racing it saved racing with the 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

Speaker 1 it would i don't know. There would never be a story like this, actually.
There would never be a comparable, like, Leicester City would be out the window, which was what was 150 to 1?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but even then.

Speaker 2 165. Like, those.
This should be.

Speaker 2 It could be the biggest thing in horse racing history, actually. It would be.

Speaker 2 If it won the Triple Crown.

Speaker 1 If it won the Triple Crown, it'd be UMBC going to the championship.

Speaker 2 I'm taking Secretariat off my number one list of best athlete of all time and replacing it with Rich Strike if it won the Triple Crown. I'm just going to say it.
He's my goat horse.

Speaker 2 He might already be my goat horse just because

Speaker 2 I love the theatrics. I said he was like the Draymond Green of Horse Race.

Speaker 1 We need a bad boy horse.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Like the 89 Pistons of Horse Racing.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I hope they call him Richard.
That would be kind of cool. Richard Strike.
If every morning, yeah, they're just like, hey, what's up, Richard?

Speaker 1 Yeah. They're like, hey, what's up, guy?

Speaker 1 But yeah, that was crazy. What should we go to next? Should we talk NBA?

Speaker 1 Let's talk some league. Let's talk some of this league.
You want to start, actually, with Warriors, Grizzlies, that has gotten very ugly. a lot of shots going back and forth.
Broke the code.

Speaker 1 Which is something that's happening now. And John Morant has claimed that, yeah, he was that Jordan Poole broke the code on him by

Speaker 1 lightly tugging on his knee.

Speaker 2 What is the code?

Speaker 1 The code is don't tug on anyone's, another man's knee.

Speaker 2 I think it's just knees. Yeah.
You don't fuck with another man's knee.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 we were at the Canal Bivil fight, and I caught up later and watching the reaction. At first, I was like, did Jordan Poole like rip his leg in half? And then I watched it.
I was like, wait,

Speaker 1 there's no way this is what hurt John Morant. And then people found it.
So John Morant tweeted, he broke the code.

Speaker 1 And then underneath it, people were replying, dude, how about when you like dive-bombed into clay and you bang knees like a few minutes before?

Speaker 1 That feels like that might have been when you hurt your knee. And then he deleted the tweet.

Speaker 2 It was such a, it was like a grab and a small pull.

Speaker 2 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 it out like you're, I don't know, like you're tearing spaghetti out of a meatball pie or something like that.

Speaker 2 There's no chance he could have actually been hurt on it. But when it's the hand,

Speaker 2 you don't put your hands on another man's knee.

Speaker 1 On the inside of the knee. I think you can touch another man's outside of their knee.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you don't reach under the skin. You don't break the skin with your fingers on another man's knee.

Speaker 1 I've never let another man touch the inside of my knee.

Speaker 2 The issue is, no one's ever Steve Ballmer do you? Never.

Speaker 2 When you reach out and you grab with your hands, it's much more intentional looking than if you were to like bang legs.

Speaker 2 You know, like you can always be like, oh, I don't have the greatest I-knee coordination. Right.
But if you're doing it with your hand, then it's very much intentional.

Speaker 2 But there was like 0% chance of an injury on it.

Speaker 1 And it also... It was a situation where we slowed it down and washed it over and over.
And it's like, but that's not how it happened.

Speaker 1 It happened in real speed, not this super, super slow-mo where you can be like, oh, my God, what'd he do?

Speaker 2 I think he was intentionally grabbing the leg and grabbing the leg.

Speaker 1 Well, the ball was he was grabbed for the ball, then he grabbed

Speaker 1 something.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And also, like, I saw there was another one where Desmond Bain dove into a guy's knees. Like, this series has been very chippy, very back and forth.
And you saw even Steve Kerr, I think the quote was:

Speaker 1 they're like, What's the game plan tonight? He's like,

Speaker 1 play sound defense,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 it's going back and forth between the two teams.

Speaker 2 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,

Speaker 2 there would be like blown out ACLs, every single one.

Speaker 2 I think they're just looking for a reason to get pissed off at each other, which I like.

Speaker 2 If you have to invent reasons to get mad at the other, that's fine.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 And you have a little bit, which is a great storyline.

Speaker 1 And, you know, you go back in the history of the NBA, there's always the young, you know, upstart teams that have to go through the teams that have won championships.

Speaker 2 Yeah, they got to learn how to win.

Speaker 1 And it feels like

Speaker 1 the Capitals. Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's a lot like that. Exactly.

Speaker 2 But yeah,

Speaker 2 the back and forth between the coaches, I think, is good. I like it.

Speaker 2 And there also has been a lot of this going around where I've seen it happen actually in the Bucks Celtics, and we can maybe use this as a jumping off point for Hank to complain about the referees.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 And everyone's moving a million miles an hour and everyone is a freak athlete.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 2 Like it's dirty. They were doing that to Marcus Smart when he was trying to guard Giannis on an inbounds play.

Speaker 2 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 like, he's just playing pretty good defense.

Speaker 1 Shout out Grant Williams, by the way. He just straight up hockey checked Grayson Allen.
It's just something everyone should aspire to do.

Speaker 2 So Hank, the officiating this series, I think has been pretty good. What do you think?

Speaker 6 Yeah, no, I mean, I mentioned the refs.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 I don't like to be the person that's like, oh, the refs suck, the refs decide the series.

Speaker 6 It's just not.

Speaker 2 It's not who you are. No, it's not who you are.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 1 But that's just how it is.

Speaker 6 I'm not going to let the referees decide whether or not the Celtics win this series.

Speaker 6 It's on them.

Speaker 1 That game was...

Speaker 1 That last call was bullshit.

Speaker 1 I was in the green room with Hank. He was watching on his phone.
He was dying with every possession.

Speaker 1 I think that game probably hurt because it was very winnable.

Speaker 6 The Celtics should have won. They were up, I think, one or two.
They had a possession. They had three missed threes.

Speaker 6 Like, they got a three, got an offensive rebound, got another look, wide open three, missed it. And then Grant Williams had a rebound, and he just

Speaker 6 deflected it out of bounds without anyone being else there. And then they lost.
Like, they should have and could have won.

Speaker 6 And Marcus Markot fouled.

Speaker 1 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 4 for 19.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he didn't get up the bus. He did not play well.
And

Speaker 1 these playoffs are supposed to be like Jason 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

Speaker 1 that's the story.

Speaker 1 If he plays just average basketball, not even his

Speaker 1 top-level basketball, top 10 player in the league, if he just plays average, they win that game.

Speaker 6 Jalen Brown was a no-show game one. Jason Tatum was a no-show game three.

Speaker 6 You got to assume that eventually they're both going to show up and play to win the game.

Speaker 2 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 Hank was just crying about nothing. Oh, he was.

Speaker 2 I wanted to think, like, oh, Hank has no point here. He doesn't know ball.
I watched it,

Speaker 2 and I kind of agree with Hank. I think it was a foul.
I think it was a shooting foul. I think it's pretty clear.

Speaker 2 Now, obviously, like, when you watch his follow-through, the theatrics afterwards are very funny. How he's just throwing both his hands towards the basket, not in a real shooting motion.

Speaker 2 Like he was pumped to get fouled. He was really excited that he got fouled on that play.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 Everyone in the arena knew what he was going to do. And he still, he threw him off of the side.
He did like, I've never seen a player do a hard count on a foul shot before.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was an incredible intentional miss.

Speaker 1 The foul for Marcus Smart. I don't think ⁇ 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.

Speaker 1 That's what it boils down to.

Speaker 1 Whether you think he was shooting a three or not, that usually gets called.

Speaker 6 In any other situation of the game besides the last, whatever, 30 seconds.

Speaker 1 Right. So, how are you feeling going into Monday? Because the mini whomping is off.

Speaker 6 Mini whomping is off.

Speaker 1 You put that button away.

Speaker 6 One thing I'll also say, just shout out to Pat Contin, recurring guest. He does this thing where he catches the ball no matter where it is and just shoots it.
Yeah. Like it's an unbelievable.

Speaker 1 I don't know if people have been noticing past.

Speaker 6 No, no, no, no, no. But this is like, there was one play where he caught it.
It was like above his head and he literally didn't move his hand, caught it and just released it.

Speaker 1 Keeps the ball high. Don't bring it up.

Speaker 6 It's impressive.

Speaker 6 I'll try and identify the video and put it out there.

Speaker 6 I mean, 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.

Speaker 6 We got to win every game from here on. It's a must-win.

Speaker 1 I think it's just going to go back and forth.

Speaker 2 Didn't we discuss that a mini-wamping could be six games if you blew them out? I don't want to disrespect the opponents.

Speaker 6 The Bucs are a good team, and

Speaker 6 any win's a good win.

Speaker 6 And a series win's a series win. It doesn't matter how many games it takes.

Speaker 2 Right, you're not looking ahead to either the six or the heat, right?

Speaker 6 I would never do that.

Speaker 1 No, never.

Speaker 1 I don't think the mini whomping, though, can happen because they did the the Bucks did whomp them game one yeah they beat them by 12 at home in Boston that's true I was I was talking to a friend this weekend who had questions about the different tiers of whompings and mini whompings we should actually sit down figure out like put together me encompassing a list of like okay here's a shit pumping yeah here's an ass kicking here's 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 if one of your best players is hurt a whomping is even on the table i don't think it can be yeah so like the Bucs could never have gotten whomped because of Chris Middleton's injury.

Speaker 1 Correct.

Speaker 6 Marcus Smart didn't play a game.

Speaker 1 But that's true, he didn't play game two.

Speaker 2 But they could get mini-wamped.

Speaker 1 They could get mini-wamped. Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's like not all gentlemen sweeping. It's whompings, but not all whompings are gentlemen sweeping.

Speaker 1 If Giannis was out, you can't mini-womp. Correct.
If your best player's out, whompings off the table.

Speaker 2 I think if your best player's out, the highest you can have is you took care of business. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You did what you were supposed to do. Yep.
Exactly. It's still hard to beat teams in this league.

Speaker 1 Sunday's games, Chris Paul, more like Piss Paul.

Speaker 2 Yikes.

Speaker 1 I was actually hoping I. Bleep that out.

Speaker 1 I was hoping that

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's,

Speaker 1 I feel good that we had that conversation.

Speaker 1 We hashed everything out 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.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 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, point God, 28, like 10 and 6.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 Like, he is the best player in the NBA who also sucks ass.

Speaker 1 He's the weather.

Speaker 1 If you don't like it, just wait five minutes.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's that's a good joke.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there you go. So that's Chris Paul.

Speaker 2 That's old school PMT.

Speaker 1 Yeah, 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 Rasilo.

Speaker 1 I think we probably are going to break, like, Chris Paul in the playoffs. If Chris Paul gets back to the finals,

Speaker 1 we'll break a record for most tweets tagged with Rasilo, myself, and you.

Speaker 2 We just have to, yeah, you're right. We just have to wait and let Chris Paul do something hilarious again because it's going to happen.

Speaker 1 And there there are going to be games.

Speaker 2 You can actually, what's great about being an awesome player who sucks is that in a way, everybody's right about Chris Paul. Yeah.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and it is getting tenuous with Rousseau because I texted him

Speaker 1 asking him how many of those fouls were bullshit. And he had like very quickly had a detailed report being like the third, the sixth, the fifth.
And like, like, I was like, okay, makes sense.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 2 Hopefully nobody in the crowd breaks the code.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, that is fucked up. It is.
And it is.

Speaker 2 But it's very, you should watch the video because the kid is like 16 or 17. And then Chris Paul is looking at him like yelling at him like he's going to kill him.

Speaker 1 He should. That would be great.

Speaker 2 A great use of your rule where you can find a fan. Yes.
If it's Chris Paul against a 16-year-old.

Speaker 1 Yes. And the other.

Speaker 2 Everybody would be be like, that's a Mickey Mouse fight. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then the 16-year-old beats him up because he's like a foot taller. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then we have the Sixers officially back, which I know Hank is rooting for the Sixers.

Speaker 2 He's not looking ahead.

Speaker 1 He's not looking ahead, but he's rooting for the Sixers. Joan Bede,

Speaker 1 like indestructible.

Speaker 1 I'm actually, I forgot to tweet tonight. Like,

Speaker 1 I'm giving my MVP vote to him. So I'm sending it back in.
It's switched a few times.

Speaker 2 Has Luca been in the conversation?

Speaker 1 Luca has been in the conversation on game two. I took it away from him.
What you should do is after he got ripped.

Speaker 2 If the Suns win the championship, you got to give your MVP to Chris Paul.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That should be the rule.
That should be the rule. But yeah, the Sixers.
Turns out Joel Embiid is really good at basketball, and he's very important to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 He gave an all-time sucket to the crowd on Friday night. Just big-time chop right, like blatantly.

Speaker 2 It was such a good sucket that even on television, they had to replay it over and over just to highlight what a great sucket it was.

Speaker 2 And he has to say 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.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 your foe. I bet the Sixers tonight.

Speaker 6 We talked about it before tonight, who we were going to bet. I bet the Sixers.
I thought they were going to win.

Speaker 6 I can't worry about this series.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 But I hope it's the Sixers. But yeah, honestly, it's one of those, like,

Speaker 6 I'm focused on the Bucs.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 Didn't have to stop for breath. Hit the oxygen tank halfway.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 makes sense that the James Harden, Joel and Bede combo these playoffs has been very, very dominant. So maybe Joel, maybe James Harden is going to have a little resurgence.
He's another one, though.

Speaker 1 We just wait till game six. No, game seven in Miami.

Speaker 1 If they go there a day early,

Speaker 1 that's it. That's done.

Speaker 2 I would like to see.

Speaker 2 It would be good for the NBA if the Sixers advance to the next round. Yeah.
No disrespect, Jake, to to your heat and your heat culture.

Speaker 1 No, but all disrespect, because that's all we've been doing.

Speaker 2 But kind of all disrespect at the same time.

Speaker 2 Because just for the storylines, like Embiid Harden together in a series against, like Hank was saying,

Speaker 2 the Celtics, that's going to be, it's good for ratings, and we are ratings watchers. Yes.

Speaker 7 Yeah, that's fair. I mean, the heat.
So I have a stat here. The last two games, they've missed 51 of the last 65 threes.

Speaker 1 Can that keep going? Well, you know what they say.

Speaker 2 Give Duncan Robinson more looks.

Speaker 7 He hasn't played this now for 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.

Speaker 1 He got 90s. You know what they say, though? It's a make-or-miss league, Jake.

Speaker 7 But you can't make or miss if you don't play.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I know. But I'm saying, like, as a team, it's a make-or-miss league.
You start missing. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 It is what it is. It was bad.
You live by the jump shot. You die by the jump shot.
You got a three.

Speaker 1 Live by the podcast shot.

Speaker 6 Bob Ryan was coaching. That wouldn't be a problem.
That's true.

Speaker 1 Surely he would have slept already.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 2-2.

Speaker 2 A lot of basketball. Where's your confidence at, Jake?

Speaker 7 After game one, it was at a nine. After game two, it was at at nine and a half.
After game three, it was at like an

Speaker 7 eight of winning the series. Now it's down to like a six and a half.

Speaker 1 Okay, so still confident.

Speaker 7 I think the heat should still be favored. I don't know what the Barcelon sportsbook odds are, but I'd assume a two out of three at home

Speaker 2 in the March confidence meter. Does it ever get to a 10?

Speaker 2 Because it should have been out of 10 after game two.

Speaker 7 Like, you should have been out of the still have to win 50% of the series.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I know. Yes, correct.
But what's a 10?

Speaker 1 When do you get to a 10? Like, Jim Boeheim can successfully drive home.

Speaker 1 Jesus Christ.

Speaker 7 Fourth quarter, 0.00.

Speaker 2 It's like the airflow. You never actually get there.

Speaker 1 You're not your way there.

Speaker 1 I would think that a nerd like you would be a fan of the Elim ending. Like, isn't that...
No, it's cool.

Speaker 1 No, no, but the whole process behind that is that there's a certain score where the game is actually over. Yeah, it's like pickup.
Right. So there has to be a

Speaker 1 in the middle of the game? Yeah, like the whole... I'm pretty sure the Elimending started that like there's a point in a game where a team can't like statistically come back.

Speaker 1 And I might not understand this thing at all. You probably not watched Timberwolves games.

Speaker 7 Elim Ending is at the under four or five minutes, they just no, I know that, but I'm pretty sure maybe I made that up.

Speaker 1 Someone has that, where they statistically are like. I think it was more so just to speed up.

Speaker 7 They don't do the free throw game at the end.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, so six. So let's shift.
Let's use this as a jumping off point for hockey. Yeah.
The big matchup, Capitals, Panthers, 2-2.

Speaker 1 I heard a little rumbling. No, not 2-2.
Oh, what is it? 2-1. 2-1.

Speaker 1 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 DC for what, next Friday?

Speaker 1 If necessary.

Speaker 1 If necessary. If necessary.

Speaker 2 So my confidence is at a 10 right now, Jake, as a Caps fan. I'm fully bought in now.

Speaker 2 I'm back to thinking that this could be our year. Ovie is skating like he hasn't skated in like two and a half years.
He looks healthy. He's laying people out.

Speaker 2 That was a shit pumping that we saw on Saturday. Just an absolute destruction of the Panthers.
I'm just like fully believing there's a little bit of magic on this team. It might happen again.

Speaker 2 So I talked to Jake about it. I was like, Jake, would you want to go down to DC on Friday, if necessary, to that game?

Speaker 1 Should I put a future in again?

Speaker 2 Maybe our team over at Game Time can help us out. Yeah.
Get Jake and I down.

Speaker 2 And then Jake has Jake has already agreed that the stakes on this series, you know, we did the whomping last time. If the Capitals win, Jake has to try heroin.

Speaker 1 Oh, nice.

Speaker 2 So black tar. Stakes are high.

Speaker 1 Subscribe to PM TV episode 8. Do it for the AWS, Jake.

Speaker 2 I think he wants you to see just with your eyes rolling to the back of your head.

Speaker 1 I think we should get you guys. I think Game Time should try to get you guys on the glass behind

Speaker 1 the hot girl seat. I don't know if you saw in Dallas.
It's every time. Every playoffs is one of those.
Yeah. I mean, it goes viral every playoffs.

Speaker 2 Well, that was the seat where the fan in Las Vegas actually flashed Ovie and stuck her tits up against the glass as you remember that as he double barred from A1 for.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, that was MLB, bonk yourself. That was a very good thing.
I think it was serious. I think she was like a fan.

Speaker 2 Well, I just remembered that one

Speaker 2 girl in Vegas because we made a t-shirt out of it, which you signed off on.

Speaker 1 I don't remember signing.

Speaker 1 We put a t-shirt with tits? Yeah, with tits on the glass. We did? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yes, we did. We definitely did.
Because it's Ovie holding the cup.

Speaker 2 And then right behind him is this girl in a Las Vegas party dress with her tits on the glass.

Speaker 1 I think she's like married to Jake Paul. Oh, no, she wasn't.

Speaker 6 She was just MLB one.

Speaker 1 MLB, yeah.

Speaker 1 This has been history of tits at games.

Speaker 1 So I think you guys should, 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 stuff a bra and see if you can get noticed.

Speaker 2 As the tits person.

Speaker 1 Yeah, as the tits person. That would be hilarious.
I haven't, listen, I haven't. And then if the team flips, then the third period, whoever's losing has to do that.
Whoever's losing has to do it.

Speaker 2 I haven't worn women's clothing in like three years.

Speaker 1 You did have that hot hot streak.

Speaker 1 It was the

Speaker 1 Donna Gruden as the old lady.

Speaker 1 It was like the second time in like a month where I

Speaker 1 didn't say anything, but I thought, I was like, oh, this is a trend.

Speaker 2 No, you did say it.

Speaker 1 Oh, I might have said that. Oh, you did say it.
I was like, what's up?

Speaker 2 I got asked to be the bridesmaid in the Dana Beer's wedding. Right.
And so I had to wear a nice cocktail dress. Clatchy.

Speaker 1 Clatchy.

Speaker 2 It was classy. But yeah, I'm down for that, Jake.

Speaker 1 That would be fun.

Speaker 2 You want to go tarps off?

Speaker 1 Who can be the tits guy?

Speaker 7 Bro, two months ago, I didn't think I'd be getting into bets that included heroin, dip, and tits. But here we are.

Speaker 2 Break those. It's the hat-trick.

Speaker 7 I mean...

Speaker 2 I've only... Okay, no heroin.

Speaker 1 I'll take the heroin off the table. We can save her.
Jake was about to say that the dip was the worst.

Speaker 1 We will save the heroin off the table.

Speaker 7 No, I was about to say it's the only one I've experienced.

Speaker 2 I think like a bra.

Speaker 2 We're a bra for the second period.

Speaker 1 You know what? We have those.

Speaker 1 I think

Speaker 1 Joey and Pat

Speaker 1 have the fake tits that they walk around. You know, have you seen those? Frank slapped them one day.
I've seen them.

Speaker 2 Bring those.

Speaker 1 Whoever's losing has to put them on.

Speaker 1 That would be very funny.

Speaker 2 I don't know if you can get into the arena with actual fake breasts.

Speaker 1 It's 2022, bro.

Speaker 6 You just have to wear them in. Yeah, you should have to wear them in.

Speaker 1 Put your hair down, Jake. Jake, I'm down.
Shave your face, put your hair down.

Speaker 2 It's also been a while since I've been mistaken for a woman from behind.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. Yeah.
Oh, fuck.

Speaker 1 I like this. This would be good.
This would be good content.

Speaker 2 We can just do the bra. Just wear a bra on your skin and go shirtless.

Speaker 1 The goal is just to have someone see you guys and be like, hey, look, look at those tits. Yeah.
As long as heroin's. It happens in every hockey.

Speaker 1 It happens every hockey playoffs when they're like, look at those tits. They've never seen.

Speaker 1 It's something about seeing tits in the setting of sports where everyone's like, oh my God.

Speaker 1 Did you see those tits? Yeah.

Speaker 1 So what just happened

Speaker 2 over the last five minutes was a masterclass and part of my take negotiations where we anchored so hard that now Jake's like, yeah, it's reasonable that I'll just have to be in a bra.

Speaker 1 As long as drugs or alcohol are involved. Okay, so perfect.

Speaker 1 You can do them if you want to.

Speaker 1 The drugs and the alcohol. Yeah, right, right.
If it makes you feel comfortable getting into alcohol.

Speaker 7 And there's always the out of running onto the field of play to get out of the bet, right?

Speaker 1 Oh, I thought you were going to say the Panthers lose four to one. Lot two.

Speaker 6 You have to go on the ice and stick a Ukraine pin on Ovi's jersey and then

Speaker 2 Ovi has said clearly that he does not support the war.

Speaker 2 Let's not get a 12.

Speaker 1 I could bring a rat. Yeah, you have to throw a blue and yellow dyed rat

Speaker 1 on the ice at Ovie.

Speaker 2 No, we don't attack other players that we're no better than

Speaker 2 we're no better than Putin. No, we don't attack their family.

Speaker 2 When they go low, we go high, Jake.

Speaker 1 You have to touch Ovie's inside of his knee. No, that's too far.
It's way too far. All right, we'll figure it out.
Uh, either way, hockey playoffs have been awesome.

Speaker 1 Yeah, okay. Oh,

Speaker 1 yeah, I mean, touch a man's knee. Yeah, no, you're right.
Yeah, um, the playoffs have been awesome every night. Uh, the Bruins are back, Hank, 2-2.

Speaker 1 Cycling some pucks. Yep.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to think what other series is.

Speaker 2 There's a breakdown.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there it is. That was the breakdown.

Speaker 1 We took a red eye, woke up, it was like the third period. The game was over.

Speaker 1 Time does not exist right now.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 No, every series goes back and forth so hard. There are blowouts both ways in almost every series.

Speaker 1 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...

Speaker 2 Ever since Taylor Luan's tweet.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 1 I watched the Predators 0-3.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Yeah.
And they got smoked, and then I kind of wrote them off a little bit. So maybe that's kind of good juju for me to just not pay attention.

Speaker 1 You forgot about home ice. Yeah.
means a lot. Means a lot.

Speaker 1 All right, so what,

Speaker 1 though?

Speaker 1 Yeah, cycle the puck. Yeah, we'll have Whitney on soon, though, to break down.
I just got a text. He's here this week?

Speaker 6 Monday through Wednesday.

Speaker 1 We got a packed week. All right, we'll have Whitney on.

Speaker 6 We have live streams, though.

Speaker 1 Oh, geez. Well, he, no, he's a workhorse.
He's not like Biz. Biz still complaining about that red eye.
Biz was on. He was never, Hank.
Biz was also on TNT.

Speaker 1 Biz was on TNT. Cup checking, guys.
All right, let's do who's back, and then we'll get to Max Homa.

Speaker 1 We'll talk some golf with him, and then we will have Dimitri Bivol on with Billy Football, live from Las Vegas.

Speaker 1 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...

Speaker 1 Translation, he'll probably be there for two weeks and we'll get a blog.

Speaker 2 He is,

Speaker 2 he did already start to make excuses. That sounded like a Billy excuse, but it turns out it's real.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 Because, like, there's just sand blowing around everywhere. It's legit.
There's like a meteorological event happening in Vegas.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 Yes, he is. He is excuse.

Speaker 2 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 2 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 All right, Hank, who's back? I have a couple. Oh, first one, kind of a serious one.

Speaker 6 I've got a lot of tweets, a lot of messages this weekend. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Honestly, the past week and month, going back to this new role I have, content development, and like what we're going to do with baseball at Barstool.

Speaker 6 So I'm excited to announce that as of today, we have signed Jake Arietta.

Speaker 1 Let's go.

Speaker 6 He's our new co-worker. 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.

Speaker 2 You got a a cupcake starting nine.

Speaker 6 I do a lot of colour. You got a cupcake.

Speaker 1 Also, no pressure. I was thinking about this.
No pressure, but

Speaker 1 like 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.

Speaker 1 That was the first episode of Pardon My Take.

Speaker 1 Someday, when we become a Jeopardy category, actually, they'd cancel that before that.

Speaker 1 That was the only

Speaker 2 podcast ever recorded in Austin?

Speaker 1 No, we went

Speaker 1 to my Southwest. But yes, I was thinking about that.
There's history. That's history.
Yeah, no, when I was down there,

Speaker 6 I was kind of going through, giving them some do's and don'ts of podcasting. I was like, this is, I was down here six years ago kind of doing the same thing.

Speaker 6 We were planning it out, planning out segments, doing the whole thing.

Speaker 6 So it's going to be two times a week. They're going to do interviews.
Jake is the fucking man. Unbelievable.

Speaker 6 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. It's kind of like Whitney.

Speaker 6 He honestly reminds me of Whitney, where it's like he's got the pro athlete, he's got the money, but he just wants to talk ball, but he's just fucking

Speaker 1 the man.

Speaker 6 He golfs, chills, works out,

Speaker 6 deals with his kids, and just like wants to talk baseball.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if you had told me in 2015 that Jake Ariada would be a co-worker, I'd be like, oh, my gosh.

Speaker 2 You'd be like, I'm going to make the Cubs?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Holy shit.

Speaker 6 So make sure you go listen to that. Starting nine.
They might change the name. That's kind of TBD.
But it's out now. Go listen.
Go support.

Speaker 1 Go show some love. Are you saying get rid of the DH?

Speaker 1 I don't care about the DH. Didn't they get rid of it?

Speaker 6 Oh, no, they added it in the National League.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 2 I'm curious to know what your workout with Jake Arietta was like.

Speaker 6 We filmed it. We were doing like snatches.
We were doing biceps.

Speaker 1 He's a beast.

Speaker 6 He is a tank.

Speaker 1 Did you keep up?

Speaker 6 I actually did. I didn't do bad.
You know, the F-45s helped me out.

Speaker 1 Yep. What day are you on?

Speaker 6 I've gone like 10, 15 times.

Speaker 2 Out of? 10 to 15 times.

Speaker 1 Oh, it's 45 times in the year.

Speaker 6 It's 45 minutes.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 6 I've gone three or four days a week since four weeks ago.

Speaker 1 Hell yes.

Speaker 2 Six-pack summer. Six-pack summer.

Speaker 6 Let's go. No cap.
Actually, it might happen.

Speaker 1 Nope. No cap.

Speaker 6 Yes.

Speaker 1 No. Yes.
No.

Speaker 2 It does smell like MF and cap in here.

Speaker 1 Just wait. Wait a minute.

Speaker 1 My cap. I'll be waiting forever.

Speaker 1 My other movie, I'll be four scump waiting for Jenny to come back.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 What tournament?

Speaker 6 The tennis tournament of the weekend.

Speaker 1 Oh, you can't even name it.

Speaker 6 Jake, Jake, Jake, line.

Speaker 1 Don't care.

Speaker 6 Carlos Alcaraz, not Alcatraz, Alcaraz, 19-year-old, beat Rafa, Djokovic, and Sverev, who apparently is the number two. So he beat one, two, and three on his way to the championship.

Speaker 2 That's a pretty good weekend for a 19-year-old.

Speaker 1 Madrid.

Speaker 6 That's huge tennis culture.

Speaker 1 Beating Rafa in Madrid? Come on.

Speaker 2 Imagine doing the Spanish Open as a 19-year-old.

Speaker 7 For the Madrid Open.

Speaker 2 What were the odds on him? I need to know, in terms of horse racing, how how big of an underdog this kid was.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I gotta look.

Speaker 1 Either way, beat one, two, and three.

Speaker 6 That doesn't happen in tennis. It's worth noting.
Rafa, Djokovic, Varev. I don't know who's Varev is, but Rafa and Jokov.

Speaker 1 Varev's number two. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, one, two, three.

Speaker 1 Alcaraz?

Speaker 1 Maybe? Possibly. We've had a list of tennis people really.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and then we're like,

Speaker 1 no. But then we hear Genie Bouchard like, yes.

Speaker 6 So tennis is back. I mean, big time.
The sports world is on fire because of this kid.

Speaker 2 It is. I like the name, though.
Like, that's a very marketable name. Escape from Alchariz.
This kid might be the baby goat.

Speaker 1 Well, let's wait till LeBron says something.

Speaker 2 No, fuck LeBron. He still hasn't done his QA.
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 That's never happening.

Speaker 2 I'm going to remind him every week. Still waiting on that Q ⁇ A, King.

Speaker 1 All right, is that it? That's it. All right.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 I saw it trickle into the weekend a little bit, and it's people talking about Ryan Tannehill's comments regarding Malik Willis and how they drafted Malik Willis.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 And if he learns from me watching me, then I guess that's a bonus. And then people are like,

Speaker 2 that's not a good teammate. That's not a good teamwork mentality.
And I've got a couple of things to say about this. First thing is he's right.
It's not his job

Speaker 2 to like teach another man how to take your job. I don't think there's a workplace in America where that's your expectation to train somebody to make you unemployed.

Speaker 1 Correct.

Speaker 2 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?

Speaker 1 He seems like a decent teammate. Yeah, but like, like, do you.
Yeah, I would say that's where I stop.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 Correct. Correct.
I also, what I don't understand is

Speaker 1 like we as a society, I mean, and rightfully so, when you talk about guys in sports who are excel and win championships and go to that extra level, like

Speaker 1 people

Speaker 1 laud Kobe and MJ and like the Truce Tiger and all these psychos that are so incredibly competitive all the time.

Speaker 1 And that's what everyone looks at, 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.

Speaker 1 I don't want someone to, I don't want to train someone to take my job. And everyone's like, whoa, bad teammate.
What? Yeah. How can those two things exist? Like, I don't understand that.

Speaker 1 He's being honest.

Speaker 1 He's not saying he's going to be mean to him. He's saying it's not his, it's the coach's coach's job to coach him, not Ryan Tannehill's job.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 Including tits.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Do you know how many years? This is probably because people don't remember the Peyton Manning Colts. And maybe they were trying.
Maybe this wasn't intentional.

Speaker 1 But they would always just put someone who, if Peyton Manning got hurt, the season was officially over. And I'm counting Jim Sorgyl.

Speaker 1 One of my favorite Badgers. But

Speaker 1 Peyton Manning wasn't like, oh, yeah, I'm going to have a backup that I'm going to try to make sure that if I get hurt, we're going to be okay.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 And then Mitch goes to Buffalo, and then Josh Allen's like, here's how you become Josh Allen.

Speaker 1 Bad happens.

Speaker 2 And now Mitch is good again.

Speaker 1 He is. He's back.

Speaker 2 My other who's back of the week is Drake. Oh.
Drake's everywhere. It's all the kids are talking about.

Speaker 2 Drake was seen in and around Miami for the F1 races, which, by the way, are you going to talk about F1?

Speaker 1 I was.

Speaker 1 Was he?

Speaker 2 Yeah, he was at some parties and stuff. I don't think he went to the actual race.

Speaker 7 Oh, I think I saw him.

Speaker 1 You saw Drake? Well, not me. I thought that was a

Speaker 1 video of him.

Speaker 2 Did he recognize you? He definitely went to the Drake.

Speaker 6 I thought he was at Churchill Downs.

Speaker 1 Maybe he was at both. Oh, you know what?

Speaker 2 I think they're planes. That's what it was.

Speaker 7 That's the video I saw.

Speaker 2 I think he was in Miami this week for the F1 events, and then he went to Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby.

Speaker 1 Wait, when was the Sunday race? Sunday afternoon. So, yeah.
Yeah, he was probably. Maybe he went.

Speaker 1 He probably took a plane.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Rich people.

Speaker 1 He could afford that trip. They can go back and forth.
So he also has. Jay Allen.
Yep, that's right.

Speaker 2 He also named Check Dovechkin in one of his most recent songs, which is all really cool to see.

Speaker 2 And then last week on Instagram, when people were talking about the whole John Morant's dad, Carl Anthony Town's dad thing, Drake slid in the comments and just said that

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 And then Drake replied to him and he said, guess what? I'm going to follow your wife on Instagram. Sounds like she needs a little more excitement in her life.

Speaker 2 He then followed this guy's wife and then DM'd her and he said, I'm here for you, ma.

Speaker 2 And then they went back and forth.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 Because this guy is down so bad that he's afraid that Drake is actually going to take his wife. It's actually great.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 And then was like, I didn't realize like this was Twitter, was like this.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you can't just jump on it. She jumped on it and just got absolutely cooked.

Speaker 6 It was like, wait a second, I have to delete this.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 They're like, come on, Drake, take the bait, take the bait. Follow my wife.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Maybe, yeah, and be like, hey, you know what? Impregnate my wife. Yeah.
And then I get money.

Speaker 2 That's actually a good business plan.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It all started.
Son, how were you conceived? Well, I was talking shit to Drake.

Speaker 2 It was great how he was.

Speaker 1 It was a crazy first round between the Grizzlies and the Timberwolves.

Speaker 1 Okay, my who's back is F1.

Speaker 1 Miami Verstappen shout out to Hank. He had a max parlay.
Max Homa and Max Verstappen to win.

Speaker 6 Shout out to the AWL that tweeted at me. Crazy.
Thoughts on a max parlay. And I said, I love it.

Speaker 6 The F1 was inside the mind of a genius, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Martin Brundle went viral because he thought he was interviewing Patrick Mahomes, and it was actually Paolo Bencaro, which was very, very funny.

Speaker 1 Good to see Paolo was out there without a drink in his hand,

Speaker 1 I would say.

Speaker 6 Those are the best part of the races. I don't.
F1 great show, great to follow, good, you know, this league, social media drama.

Speaker 6 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 funny.

Speaker 1 I asked Peggy to try to get Martin Brundle on the show, so that would be great.

Speaker 2 We got him. Can we just get in the trust tree real quick?

Speaker 2 I can't get into F1.

Speaker 1 Well, here's the thing.

Speaker 2 I can't.

Speaker 1 There was one time.

Speaker 6 I rooted for Versabin. He passed him.

Speaker 1 That was the only thing that was. That was a nap.
I took a nap and I woke up and I was like, wait, Versabin's in the front, and then that was it.

Speaker 2 I haven't even been able to keep up on the reality show, which is good. I've enjoyed...

Speaker 2 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 like the celebrity stuff around it is fun to talk about.

Speaker 2 I just, I'm trying, I'm trying real hard to get into it.

Speaker 1 No, you're fine because I think that there's I like Daniel Ricardo.

Speaker 2 I root for Daniel Ricardo because I think he's a funny guy, but I don't care. I still, I still like what he brings to the table.

Speaker 2 But as for the sport in general, I feel like there's, there's like a large

Speaker 2 percentage of people in America that got into it for a couple months and then they're like, oh yeah, the actual sport isn't that exciting.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, and it's also, there's a lot of people now on Twitter who are like trying to prove who's the bigger F1 fan.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Those are basically time tweets because that's my only take on the whole thing or if Ferrari wins, but I agree, like, no one, no one passes anyone. It's the drives to survive is awesome.

Speaker 1 I wish I could watch Drives to Survive every day. So I love that.
But the actual races, I agree. It's like, it's kind of, I mean, I'm not a big NASCAR guy.
You know what I mean? For the same reason.

Speaker 1 I just

Speaker 1 wanted to sit down and watch a whole race.

Speaker 2 If they were on horses, that would be way better.

Speaker 1 Well, and those are the fastest two minutes in sports.

Speaker 1 And guess what? Cars don't have percentage. And then you get to bet it again, and you get to bet it again.
And the problem is I've tried to bet F1, and it's like, I don't understand.

Speaker 1 You just bet one of the top two cars, and then it's just,

Speaker 1 will one of them pass, and then that's it?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think what my issue is, I just don't like cars.

Speaker 2 I'm not a car guy. I've never been interested.

Speaker 1 They do go fast, which is cool. Crashes.

Speaker 2 Mechanics. I've never been interested in any sort of that.
If they were on horses, I would like it. If they were in planes, I would like it a lot better.

Speaker 2 If they were on motorcycles even, I would still like that a little bit less.

Speaker 1 Trains?

Speaker 2 Train? Dude, train racing?

Speaker 1 Are you kidding me? Dude, train racing would be fucking sick.

Speaker 2 Just build 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.

Speaker 1 Yes, it all converges.

Speaker 7 I think you do that on the scoreboard, the subway race.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's cool. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, train racing.

Speaker 2 Elon Musk, instead of like flushing your money down the toilet trying to like protect free speech, wait, we should do train racing. How about we just build train racing?

Speaker 1 We should do train racing. We should try to figure out the exact like same distance, and everyone takes a different train line in the New York City subways.

Speaker 2 That's kind of sick.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we should do that.

Speaker 2 Train races?

Speaker 1 Someone smarter than us figure out the map. Like, it has to be.

Speaker 6 What about tandem bike racing? No.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Stupid. The weather.
It's raining on Friday.

Speaker 1 It's raining on Friday. It's rained every every Friday.

Speaker 1 It's literally raining.

Speaker 2 It's rained every Friday for a year.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Oh, there's a lot of luck. But there's also some skill.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 We'll see who can sit at the front of the train.

Speaker 1 The farthest from the train.

Speaker 2 Maybe let the conductor get you in, put a little hat on me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, a little whistle.

Speaker 2 I started out saying, like, they'll get Jake in there, but then I was like, you know what? I really just want to sit on his lap.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Let me blow the horn. My other who's back is golf.
Hank and I golfed. And one out of five down.
I said I was going to golf five times this summer. I hate golf.
It is so brutal.

Speaker 1 I think I would like it if I golfed all the time, but I don't have the time. And it just sucks.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 1 The cat, no joke, in three holes, hit two,

Speaker 6 like a 45-yard putt, and then like two holes later, hit like a 35-yard.

Speaker 1 High-stakes. Foot putt.

Speaker 6 I keep saying yard putt. No, yard.
You were right. Yard, feet, whatever.
But yeah. Foot.

Speaker 1 Golf is just, every time I go out,

Speaker 1 I have fun for a few holes, and then by like hole 12, I'm like, all right, I want to go home.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I usually have a good amount of fun in like the, yeah, after the second hole, I start to have a little bit of fun until I get tired.

Speaker 2 But there's no worse time in golf than being somebody who doesn't golf, who like never golfs, and then going out there to the first tee when everyone can see you correctly as you're getting off that tee and people like laugh at you it's like i'm sorry i don't play this sport all the time and you the 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 it was fun yeah

Speaker 1 i had it i had a great time big cat on the course was a delight yeah i had a i that so hank can attest to this 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.

Speaker 1 I was talking shit to other people. That one guy was really mad at me.

Speaker 1 We let someone play through on a par three and the guy hit it in the sand off his T-shot and I just yelled out. I was like, it's in the sand.
And he just like shook his head.

Speaker 1 And then when they came up to the green, I just pointed. I was like, yep, you're in the sand over there.
And he was so mad at me. It was so fucking good.
Did you guys need that?

Speaker 1 No, I was helping him out. I was helping him find his ball.
So yeah, golf, shit talking and golf. I'm a lead lead at.
Everything else, putting and shit-talking.

Speaker 1 If I could do those two things and 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.

Speaker 1 Loser has to smoke crack cocaine. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 While standing on top of a train.

Speaker 1 Just for fun.

Speaker 1 All right, now you got me hooked. I mean, you're probably not going to lose.
Yeah, that's true. He and I are a golfer.

Speaker 2 Jake, we're really bad at golf.

Speaker 1 And Billy, I mean, Billy definitely plays golf like a football player. With a baseball bat.
Yeah, he just.

Speaker 2 Billy unintentionally does dude perfect on the course.

Speaker 1 He like

Speaker 1 holes in the fucking fairway.

Speaker 1 Okay, Jake, your who's back on the list gets our interviews. Max Oma and Dimitri Bivil.
My who's back of the week?

Speaker 7 The New York Mets. So this happened late Thursday.
We reported early. Seven runs in the ninth inning.
They won

Speaker 7 eight to seven

Speaker 7 on Thursday night. Just this could be the season.
The first team to 20 wins, and that was one of the craziest comebacks I've seen in an an individual baseball game.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 It's mostly just Frank the Tank complaining whenever they're going to be able to do it.

Speaker 7 I can't imagine what would happen if the Mets blew it.

Speaker 1 And what Frank would have done.

Speaker 1 Shout out. There's a Frank fact-checker now.
Well, Frank, who just

Speaker 1 scream grabs every one of his tweets because he deletes them now. And it's so funny.
Frank and Frank.

Speaker 2 Frank would probably be happy in a weird way if they were that bad.

Speaker 2 He'd be like, see, I told you how bad they would be. I know ball.

Speaker 1 I don't know what we're going to do in this office if the Mets make the playoffs a deep run.

Speaker 7 Best team in the league, right?

Speaker 1 They are a really good team. Yes.
Yes. Okay.

Speaker 1 Good. Yeah, that was a great game.

Speaker 2 They don't even have DeGrom.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true. They're going to pick up 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.

Speaker 1 We have Max Homa first, then Dimitri Bivil with Billy Football Live from Vegas.

Speaker 8 Before we do that, Piety, you got a quick pro football football show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.

Speaker 8 Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck. Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready.

Speaker 8 Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done. Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 it is Max Homa. He just won, I don't know, I'm not going to say the exact number, over a mill, well over a mil.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 No one was watching golf, and you did it again.

Speaker 1 It's kind of my M.O. I like it.
I fly way, way, way under the radar.

Speaker 1 I'm glad this tournament didn't sound like a video game.

Speaker 1 And yeah, I don't know. I'm sneaky.
I saw, you know, you guys are doing all the fights, Canela fights. I saw the derby yesterday.
Everyone's very, very focused on other things other than the golf.

Speaker 1 And that's, I feel like, when I'm the most, most powerful.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Would you say that you're more of a long shot than Rich Strike or about equal?

Speaker 1 It's definitely equal.

Speaker 1 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, which is, you know,

Speaker 1 it's nice to have a bond with such a gentleman, such as Rich Strike. Yes.
It was so perfect because

Speaker 1 as most of the tournaments that you're in, like 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? What?

Speaker 1 Why would they play golf on Kentucky Derby Saturday? And then I woke up today.

Speaker 1 How much do you, 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you were up there. You're right above the guys who tell me they bet money on me to win.

Speaker 1 That kind of inspiration and then the reminder, it's a big deal deal because I'm always sitting there on Sunday mornings thinking, you know, what should I be doing today?

Speaker 1 Should I get 10th? 10th sounds all right. 11th.
But when somebody tells me, go out there and win it, it really, you know, I write it down.

Speaker 1 I take.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, those guys don't get enough credit because they're literally wheeling the ball into the hole. And every time they yell, the louder they yell it, it just seems to go in so much more often.

Speaker 1 So we can, we should be thanking them a lot more for sure.

Speaker 2 So I think we should actually give a lot of this credit to another member of Pard My Take that's not actually here right now. He's still in Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 That's Billy Football because Max texted me and Big Cat over the weekend, I think Friday night.

Speaker 2 Please suspend Billy. These videos are fucking gross.

Speaker 2 And it was in relation to Billy's most recent snuff film that he tweeted out of animals attacking each each other in the wild.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 I think you could say that that might have motivated you. That might have given you the killer instinct, like Carl Anthony Towns, when he watches the gorilla fight video before a game.

Speaker 2 Maybe Billy just needs to send you, like, personally, noted killer.

Speaker 1 Animal

Speaker 2 animal attack videos because you're one for one on weekends that Billy does this.

Speaker 1 I wish with all of my heart there was not a link to that, but unfortunately there is.

Speaker 1 I definitely got some inspiration trying to be the Komodo dragon and not the deer. Yeah.
Because I'd be real sad. But yeah, I just think Billy needs like a,

Speaker 1 there needs to be like a headline like, hey, give this three seconds

Speaker 1 if you want to scroll. But it is just a.

Speaker 1 I'm going from like a funny big cat joke, a witty PFT pun, straight into like a cheetah getting its neck throat like knocked out by some boar like it's way too in your face 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 text him because you're too nice yeah we'll text him like 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

Speaker 1 uh what was going through your head when you almost blew it yeah um so many things um

Speaker 1 what was it what was it you were minus nine and keegan bradley was minus six you bogey 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 going to get blown up especially because i knew you had money on it because

Speaker 1 I knew you had money on it. And second, because everybody in the entire crowd was yelling that you had money on it.

Speaker 1 So I knew that if I lost this, not only would it be bad for me

Speaker 1 and my golf career, it would be really bad for my mentions via you, Big Cat.

Speaker 1 So that was also, maybe that's where the credit should go is to you and all of your, I don't even know, your henchmen who just like

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I actually, I hit up the writer and I was like, dude, are you sure? This can't be right.

Speaker 1 Since the start of 2021, Max homa has more worldwide wins than rory john rahm spieth jt bryson dj xander and brooks yeah buddies you're hot you are hot

Speaker 2 how many times i've won for someone who never makes the cut yeah i know it's you're well you're hot right now there's a stat that i saw and i'm a big i'm a big golf stack 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

Speaker 1 the same guy. So I just wanted to kind of excel like that.
But I don't know.

Speaker 1 Just been playing really good golf and

Speaker 1 enjoying it, I guess. And I got a kid on the way now.
So I got dad's strength, which helps those stats, I hear. Yeah, no.

Speaker 2 For sure.

Speaker 2 That was a big thing. So you did your gender reveal, and it's a boy, right? You're going to have a boy.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 That was really, you really hit every single note that Jim Nance wanted to hear in that speech with all the, do you think that you have too much perspective now?

Speaker 1 I'm close. I'm teetering the line.

Speaker 1 I'm teetering the line. I think I might need to cool it on the perspective, but

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 It's like, how do you hold that in? Yeah, you can't You can't.

Speaker 1 I was hoping, though,

Speaker 1 Mother's Day, you know, we all love our moms. You know, mom's the best.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, mom's the best. I love every mom.
Every mom.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Because that always cracks me up when people are like, Happy Mother's Day to my wife, who's a dog mom. I've done that for the six years we've had a kid, but I get it.
Like, guys, I get it.

Speaker 1 But, like, she likes it, and I'll do it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 So, for your baby, are you adopting or breeding?

Speaker 1 Oh, man. Um,

Speaker 1 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. Uh, you have a lot of people telling me I'm killing dogs in Augusta, Georgia.

Speaker 1 Uh, which is a frightening thought. Um, but this one, yeah, we bred this one.
Uh, it felt right, but but uh,

Speaker 1 yeah, yeah, you know, it feels right.

Speaker 1 Yeah, um, so I we can cut this part because you did tell me uh, what you're gonna name your son. I, the more I think about it, LeBron Homa does not really like it doesn't roll off the tongue.

Speaker 1 We can cut this part, though.

Speaker 1 Would you be able to live if there was a kid named LeBron Big Cat Homa? You had to be linked with that forever. It'd be my mortal enemy.
I'd actually, you know what?

Speaker 1 It would make me live to 150 because I'd wake up every day to try to take that kid down.

Speaker 1 All right, so I'm putting years on your leg. You're welcome.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 We should probably talk about the elephant in the room.

Speaker 1 You didn't, I didn't see you use driver on any par threes this weekend.

Speaker 1 Do you think my strategy is too forward for golf?

Speaker 1 You saw the video.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 you 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 far yeah no 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.

Speaker 1 I was like, I'm golfing 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, welcome to hell, buddy.

Speaker 1 You got four more rounds this summer. You got to get in.

Speaker 2 Do you actually enjoy it? Like when you're out there golfing, or are you like, are you focused in?

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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 I guess I'm almost done.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I fully focus on all the holes.

Speaker 1 Brooks is better than me and has been able to get away with that one. If I don't focus for a little bit,

Speaker 1 that's where it goes real sideways. Do I enjoy golf? It really depends the day, but I think that's for everybody,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And sometimes if I'm playing bad, that doesn't make it any better.

Speaker 1 But I, I try really hard. Yeah.
And I, I got to give credit to Hank, who is kind of pseudo swing coach for me, caddy, uh, mentor out on the course.

Speaker 1 His, his recipe for literally all my bad shots was like pouring more drinks and giving me more weed. So that is really caddying.
Yeah. That is

Speaker 1 top tier caddying.

Speaker 1 He was. He was just like, here, smoke more, smoke more, smoke more.
I got harder because

Speaker 1 kind of 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.
And that's like, that's big.

Speaker 2 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. But

Speaker 2 it's like you have, you reach the God mode when you're just buzzed and you're at like that exact level of a 0.08 because you stop overthinking things.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 God mode sounds great, but then I think I need like six more.

Speaker 2 Are you like confident going to the PGA? You're like, you know what? This is the year. This is the year.
Well, at first I'm going to make the cut. Yep.

Speaker 2 And then there are going to be be a lot of people with expectations on you this year, Max.

Speaker 1 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 majority of the money is.

Speaker 2 Now we got to bet on this one.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But yeah, I'm going for three mid-cuts and majors in a row, which

Speaker 1 that hasn't been done in a while for most people.

Speaker 1 So that's that's definitely step one. But yeah, I feel confident.
I feel comfortable.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 2 Can we ask like a real question, like a question you'd probably more likely get asked on Foreplay or any of these other like actual golf shows?

Speaker 2 What yeah, what changed about you in the last couple years? Steroids. Besides the steroids,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And when I got on tour, I tried changing some things to try to be

Speaker 1 what I thought I needed to be. And it set me back a while.
And then it killed my confidence, which I already struggle with a bit. And yeah, I've always had a good work ethic.

Speaker 1 And I just feel like I'm on the right track. And I'm starting to believe in myself again.
And just like marrying those two things, it's been fun because I kind of feel sounds dumb.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And I don't know. I just feel like more comfortable.

Speaker 1 I don't feel, I've always struggled with being a little bit insecure about, you know, who I'm playing with or whatever, but it's starting to get comfy.

Speaker 1 Like playing, playing with Ricky and Jason Day and Rory McElroy and all these guys, like it's, I don't know. Just feel like I'm coming into my own a bit.

Speaker 1 And for about a year, year and a half, I've been feeling that. So I'm just trying to let the golf, golf kind of follow that lead.
So should we be, should we stick with the positive stuff?

Speaker 1 Was that, did that help?

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm a little biased, but I really like the positive stuff. Okay, all right.
We'll do it. We'll do it.
We'll do it.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean.

Speaker 1 All right. You know what? No.
You guys. Negativity on the weekend, positivity in the week.
I think that's totally fine.

Speaker 2 Okay, 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I think we could go like, we'll go super positive. I liked being positive about you because I like you very, very much.

Speaker 1 And I, you know, I genuinely am rooting for you, especially when I'm betting on you, which is every single time.

Speaker 1 But I... I think we go positive Thursday, Friday.
Saturday, Sunday, we go sarcastically positive if you you start sucking. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So you know, I'm being mean, but you could read it as me being nice.

Speaker 1 See, I like that because, yeah,

Speaker 1 speaking of fucking perspective, I'm going to just be able to use my own and

Speaker 1 decide if it's just true, genuine, truly genuine, or if it's, you know, sarcasm. And I'm going to go genuine a lot, but I like, this seems like a fair compromise.
Okay, perfect. All right.

Speaker 1 So last question for me, because I know you got dinner. Thank you for joining us.
It's crazy that you, you know, win a tournament, the fifth major, and then you hop on with us.

Speaker 1 We really, really appreciate it.

Speaker 9 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One-made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 9 Only one Reese's peanut butter lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 9 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 9 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.

Speaker 1 I saw our good friend Scott Van Pelt was looking for some credit because you hung out with him on Wednesday.

Speaker 1 Do you

Speaker 1 back up after that big controversy he had? Do you back up? Do you stand by him?

Speaker 1 Was the controversy?

Speaker 2 I mean, 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 year.

Speaker 1 You saw him trending, yeah. Ah, okay.
Well, listen,

Speaker 1 I'm biased. Scott's the man.
Stanford Steve, also the man. They welcomed me into their home.

Speaker 1 We watched five TVs of games.

Speaker 1 Scott bought me a Dr. Pepper and a Pop-Tart,

Speaker 1 cherry-flavored.

Speaker 1 So I will ride with SVP until the day. A lot of sugar.

Speaker 1 Do you know how much Scott makes a year?

Speaker 1 Oh, it's a lot. Yeah, he bought you a Pop-Tart?

Speaker 1 Well, that's all I asked for because

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 2 the welcoming present that he gives everyone

Speaker 1 yeah I never I've never had like I didn't really want to go straight to caviar pop tart I like Pop-Tarts Pop-Tarts are good yeah Scott didn't do anything we just were joking that there's always that one person who's trending on Twitter and it's like I don't I stand by this person like I you can't cancel this person then you try to find the actual original tweet and it doesn't exist so um he is I hope he's uncancelable because he's actually a really nice guy.

Speaker 1 He's the best.

Speaker 1 He is the reason why we did that joke is he's the most likable person in the world yeah he really is even when people may like bag him on twitter he'll like come back and be like listen i'll try to get better and it's like man you're just really cool yeah well except for the fact that he violated his journalistic uh ethics by buying you snacks as somebody that he covers We can talk about that at J school in the second.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we'll talk about that later.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. New Big J meeting.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 I'll have a word with him. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But Max, thank you.
We really do appreciate it, man. You are the best.
And enjoy your dinner and, you know, get drunk. I will do that.
Thank you guys for having me.

Speaker 1 Really appreciate you guys. You guys are the best.
That's why I'm doing this. And also, please just continue to suspend Billy and he can send me one video.

Speaker 2 And now for something completely different.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. It is Dimitri Bivil.
Off of his huge win against Canelo Alvarez Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Speaker 1 He is joined with one of his longtime members of his crew, Billy Football. Best friend? Best friend, Billy Football.
Dimitri, I was there.

Speaker 1 I 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?

Speaker 1 To be honest, no quesadillas. It was a burger, one burger.
I don't have time to eat two burgers or three.

Speaker 1 It was crazy, though.

Speaker 1 It was great.

Speaker 1 You boxed the perfect fight.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Were you shocked by the scorecard at all? Because I thought you won the fight way more convincingly than the scorecard had it.

Speaker 1 You know, of course, I felt that I won this fight. And when I was standing and heard score cards, 115, 113, on the one second, I thought maybe it's not my

Speaker 1 victory,

Speaker 1 but another second.

Speaker 1 I thought, and still. Yes, yes, there's still.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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?

Speaker 2 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 just giving himself up. He was like, hit me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you know,

Speaker 1 strategy was not to be predictable.

Speaker 1 And if he asked me to punch him,

Speaker 1 I thought, I don't want to do this because he wants to

Speaker 1 to me, he wants me to do it. And I thought, no, I don't want to do what you won't do.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there was 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.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 in my training camp, a coach said to me, don't be too close when he on the ropes, because he tried to counterpunch you by right hand or left upper coat and be

Speaker 1 be on, be focused and be

Speaker 1 a correct

Speaker 1 and be careful. Yeah, you yeah, it was exactly what you did.
So, uh, big question: how much of your win goes to Billy football?

Speaker 7 how much?

Speaker 1 I think

Speaker 1 30%.

Speaker 1 That's pretty good.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 he taught me through the ball, you know, like right hand. Yeah, activate your shoulders.
I like that.

Speaker 2 He was also posting some pretty aggressive videos, some animal attack videos over the weekend.

Speaker 2 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 like suffocating a pig.

Speaker 6 It makes me want to fight.

Speaker 1 I actually, I actually have a bunch of questions. Um,

Speaker 1 Billy, yeah, yeah. What was what was going through your head when Canelo picked you up? Oh, yeah,

Speaker 1 yeah, like when he picked you up.

Speaker 1 I just thought, oh, he he's a little bit nervous and he wants to show me how he's strong, but it wasn't good for him because I see he's a little bit tired and

Speaker 1 he lost his power.

Speaker 1 He wastes his power, you know, on this moment. Yeah, yeah, no, he was that was clear frustration from Canelo in that moment that he wasn't able to get inside and do what he wanted to do.

Speaker 1 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 it put up on the camera.

Speaker 1 So, if you didn't see the fight,

Speaker 1 Canelo just hammered.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 in the next two days.

Speaker 1 It's going to be one of those ones where it's gonna be there for a while, but it looks like a bone contusion.

Speaker 2 It's it looks real bad from in person.

Speaker 1 Take a picture, Billy, and send it to Liam so he can put it in the YouTube so people can see it.

Speaker 2 How, um, how how nice does it feel like when your jab is really cooking, Dimitri? Like when you've got him at arm's length and you just know that, like, your jab's landing, he can't figure out a way.

Speaker 2 How

Speaker 2 great does that feel as a fighter? Do you get confidence when your jab is landing so effectively?

Speaker 1 Of course, you feel confidence every time when you catch your opponent, when you throw on his hand, left hand or something else, or you give him a

Speaker 1 punch air, not you, just air or some

Speaker 1 block.

Speaker 1 You feel confidence every time.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so going into the fight, last night, if we rewound 24 hours ago, yesterday,

Speaker 2 and somebody had asked you, how confident are you that you're going to win this fight?

Speaker 1 at, where were you at?

Speaker 2 Were you like 80%, 90%, 100%?

Speaker 1 You know, I try to believe

Speaker 1 I try to believe in my victory on 100%. I tried, you know,

Speaker 1 if you don't do it, your training campus, you can throw it on the trash.

Speaker 1 on the trash

Speaker 1 believe believe and i i believed in myself Yeah, so

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So not really boxing reasons, but we laughed at him. So Billy was, he was up, he was screaming, yelling for you.

Speaker 1 like it 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 baval was kind of dicey because all the mexican the whole crowd was mexican and i'm very glad that uh baval doesn't know what pandejo means in spanish because that's the only thing i was hearing and that was the whole time i was wondering what i wonder if like do you know spanish no at all

Speaker 1 nothing

Speaker 1 That probably actually helped. It probably did help.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it means champion. They were saying, let's go, champion.
I hate you, champion. Yeah, you're calling just calling you champion.

Speaker 2 So, what was it like after the fight? What was your post-fight celebration? How crazy was it last night?

Speaker 1 I just gave a couple interviews and came in my room, and a lot of people came to me, friends,

Speaker 1 some guys from WBA, from Grant,

Speaker 1 Gloves, who made

Speaker 1 why you didn't work here. Well, I so no, what happened was I was texting Taylor.
By the way, shout out Taylor. That's his strength and conditioning coach.

Speaker 1 That was probably one of the main reasons, like huge reasons why he was so conditioned late in the fight. Shout out, Taylor.
But basically,

Speaker 1 you spent all night responding to text messages and like being just an absolute great guy, just responding to all the support he got.

Speaker 1 And I was disappointed because I was told Taylor's like, we might go out, but you know, like, I'll text you when we go out.

Speaker 1 So I was sort of just waiting around, but I should, I was trying to get here. We might go play blackjack later.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Are you going to celebrate tonight, Dimitri, with Billy?

Speaker 1 Not tonight. Tonight, I should go to

Speaker 1 Los Angeles.

Speaker 1 Oh, there we go. Take Billy with you.
Just take Billy with you. If you want to go home, literally just take he goes with you.

Speaker 2 Who is the most. Did you get any text messages from famous people from any celebrities that wanted to congratulate you?

Speaker 1 From Triple G.

Speaker 1 Oh, Triple G, yeah. So you said it after you ruined Eddie's fight in September.

Speaker 1 It was a little bit joke, you know. Yeah, no, it was funny, but I would assume

Speaker 1 you'll accept you want to rematch with Canelo, right? Like, if he wants a rematch, yeah, yeah, we can talk about it. No problem.
If I take this fight, why not rematch? We can talk about it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Of course. I mean, I honestly think it would go the same way, the way that you fight.

Speaker 1 We know Eddie very well now.

Speaker 1 He's got to pay you more. Let's get you more money.
Yeah, why not? Why not? Of course.

Speaker 1 More quesadillas.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 maybe joshua

Speaker 1 how do you think that would go like that's like ridiculous But

Speaker 1 ridiculous question, a ridiculous answer, I think.

Speaker 1 Well, I got to give you credit, Dimitri, because there's kind of like an old saying in boxing: like, you know, a great, 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, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Like, that that elevates you to the next level because you, you showed it on Saturday night that you're not, it's hard to go up in weight class, and you, you outclassed, you know, Canelo on Saturday night in his house.

Speaker 1 That he outclassed them in his TikTok.

Speaker 1 No, the question.

Speaker 7 What the question?

Speaker 1 Yeah, there was no real question. I was just saying you're awesome.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 He went up to you and you were better than him. Yeah, but I respect him a lot, of course, Canelo, because four weight classes, he was the champion.

Speaker 1 It's great. Yeah.
No, 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

Speaker 1 you were fantastic.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm still kind of in awe. What do you say, Billy? Quick question.
Which was the belt you won off him? Did you win a belt off him? No. No.
No.

Speaker 1 Well, I saw you walk into the ring with one belt and he walked out with two.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Billy can make you a belt, yeah, make the Billy belt.

Speaker 2 You're the Billy champion, and take care of him. He's now your problem.
Yeah, so take yours wherever you want to go with him. Do whatever.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 Yes,

Speaker 1 you know, I got a belt.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he does. Yeah, take his belt.
He does. Did Billy ever show you his fight, Dimitri?

Speaker 1 He should fight against

Speaker 1 Jake Paul.

Speaker 1 He thought that to be a good fight.

Speaker 1 I got one last question. Rowback question.

Speaker 1 Be honest, now that you've won, Dimitri,

Speaker 1 Canelo's entrance was really fucking cool, right?

Speaker 1 When

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, of course.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 like mine, quick and go drink, and wait.

Speaker 1 When he went up with the fireworks and everything, I was like, holy fuck, this is awesome.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 it's great, and it's

Speaker 1 fun, it's fun, and

Speaker 1 it's it gives me more

Speaker 1 enjoy to the fight, you know? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Well, congratulations, man.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Billy, do you have any other last questions? I just gotta say, yeah, Billy,

Speaker 1 yeah, one last question. Uh, above all, 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?

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, of course. Now I know what is Cinco de Mayo.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you know, I asked this one Mexican guy. I don't want to say his name because he will be

Speaker 1 abusing me. He will be mad at me.
He will be mad at me. And he said, This is Independent Day.
But one guy from Mexican television asked me, what is the Cinco de May? I asked, it's Independent Day.

Speaker 1 But he said, no, this is a war. This is a battle when the Mexican army won French army.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 We had to make that correction because he unfortunately said that on media, you know, we're big on corrections, holding ourselves accountable. You know what I'm saying? Yes.

Good job, Billy.

Speaker 1 I don't know if I'm getting out of here because there's a sandstorm. Yeah, that's fine.

Speaker 1 I literally told you if you can just hang out with Dimitri Bivel for as long as you can and as long as you can write a blog, you're excused.

Speaker 1 Like, you have to still zoom into all your other things, but

Speaker 1 if you can do a good story.

Speaker 1 I need to get home. I had my dog at home.
I'm trying to get home and I can't get home. Look at this.

Speaker 1 Like, I'm literally serious. This isn't a St.
Patrick's. Oh, wow.
That actually is crazy.

Speaker 2 Sandstorm.

Speaker 1 Just be well-behaved and be like,

Speaker 1 working.

Speaker 1 I literally can't leave Vegas.

Speaker 1 We started on too high of a key.

Speaker 1 See you, Billy.

Speaker 4 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 4 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 4 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 4 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 4 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead Deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Let's do our Monday reading. Jake, you have it for us?

Speaker 7 Yes, so this will be my first time reading it through, too, so I really don't know what we're getting into, but is that an excuse?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 2 Oh, you're reading it verbatim.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. You're reporting.

Speaker 2 You're reporting on the poster 96.

Speaker 7 quotes yep you're right you're right okay i get what you're saying so the title is what is tiffu t-i-o today i fucked up oh okay what does it mean today i up nice she's reading it yeah by spraying afrin nasal spray up my penis oh okay yeah so i know y'all are concerned

Speaker 1 i noticed you giggled a little with the penis word there it's just it's just anatomy

Speaker 7 we've all got i've taken steps on the 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 always watches me in the shower.

Speaker 1 He goes, oh, look, your penis.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 1 There it is.

Speaker 7 So I know y'all are confused as to why.

Speaker 1 He says, oh, it's so small.

Speaker 1 Where is it? He says, why is mine bigger?

Speaker 1 Fuck, shut up.

Speaker 7 So I know y'all are confused as to why I do that. So I'm going to 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, this is true.

Speaker 1 You don't even need to explain this logic. We got it already.
I know, I get it. Like, as Sue, we know.

Speaker 2 As former, or not former, as recovering addicts from Afrin, I've wanted to inject it in every orphan.

Speaker 7 Since it clears up your nose so well, maybe it would clear up the penis in a similar way.

Speaker 2 Okay, this is my first question: is like, what is he trying to clear up in his dick?

Speaker 1 Oh, chlamydia, clap.

Speaker 2 Yeah, does he have it? Stones.

Speaker 6 Here, stone guys.

Speaker 2 Oh, there you go. Yeah, he's probably trying to dissolve some of them kidneys.

Speaker 1 Sometimes you get like a weird itch in your dick. That's also probably an SCD.

Speaker 7 As in widen the inside of the urethra so cum could shoot out with less resistance.

Speaker 2 Got it. Okay, he was trying to shoot ropes.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 He was getting, he was going, he was basically like the water pressure in a hotel.

Speaker 6 He wanted to hack it.

Speaker 1 He's going for velocity. He's basically, it's like a spider tack, you know, for a base for a pitcher.

Speaker 2 As 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.

Speaker 1 I'm going to just take a wild guess that this guy might watch too much porn. Yeah, probably.
Because I don't think anybody.

Speaker 2 I don't think any woman is out there and she's like, you know what?

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 they're just too, too thin. His ropes are like

Speaker 1 every single rope is off speed. I just want a fastball once.

Speaker 1 I want 99 on the black once.

Speaker 2 I want silly string.

Speaker 7 Basically, I wanted to make some epic cum shots. Yep.

Speaker 1 Okay. So that's, yep.
All right.

Speaker 7 Turns out, it doesn't work that way at all. I found out later how Afrin works while doing some research on it.

Speaker 1 After the fact, this is just a guy's being dudes. This is dudes rock.

Speaker 1 It is to read the directions after you've fucked up the installation of everything.

Speaker 2 Well, and this is the best example of it because it's like, I'm not going to read the directions until after I put this item into my penis.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 7 When you get sick, what happens is the blood vessels in the lining of your nose get inflamed. They get bigger.
Afrin works as a vasoconstrictor.

Speaker 7 That means it constricts your blood vessels, makes them smaller, which is why it clears your nose up so well.

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 7 Now, do you see where I'm going with this? What do you think would happen if I vasoconstricted or vasoconstricted my penis?

Speaker 1 Me and my girl.

Speaker 2 Guessing that you probably just can't get a boner.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Me and my girlfriend were going to have sex. I went into the bathroom and sprayed the nasal spray up my dick.
I was going to try to surprise my girlfriend with some super intense and strong cum shots.

Speaker 2 Hey, happy Mother's Day.

Speaker 2 You know, like a lot of places were filled for brunch, but I got you something better. I'm going to shoot the biggest load of my life.

Speaker 7 What ended up happening instead was I couldn't get hard. Well, no surprise there.
My blood vessels were constricted from the afferent.

Speaker 7 My girlfriend is a very sweet person and a very understanding person. I apologize.

Speaker 1 I think you're an idiot and she knows that. That's one of those situations like my girlfriend is so understanding.
No, no, no. She knows she's dating a fucking Labrador retriever.

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 7 I decided to tell her the truth and I sprayed affrin, nasal spray, up my penis. I said before that she's an understanding person and she is, but this was enough to perplex her.

Speaker 7 She just looked at me with the most confused look on her face. She was like, what the fuck, bro?

Speaker 7 I explained how I wanted to come further.

Speaker 7 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 going to live this one down.

Speaker 7 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 afraid nasal spray into my penis. Could it get hard?

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's tough. She's Roman.
Yeah. There you go.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 There should be a new product for Roman, just called Roman Lodes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Roman, Roman ropes. Roman ropes.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Jesus Christ.

Speaker 2 It sounds like she is understanding, but this might be one of those things that's so embarrassing. Like, girls obviously talk about their sex lives with other girls.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 You know what you need to do is you need to, like, her friends

Speaker 1 and your friends, you need to convince your friends to do it so then they can all be like, are

Speaker 1 idiots. Yeah.
We had a pass. Yeah, like, oh, it must be like a TikTok trend or something.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's right. Yeah, just that's what you should say.
It's just like, it's a TikTok trend, and I didn't know that it was going to be bad. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And then she'll be like, oh, you're an idiot for believing everything you see on TikTok.

Speaker 1 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's just, it works like that.

Speaker 2 It's a great life act.

Speaker 2 So, yeah, just don't. Don't spray nasal spray into any other orifice except for your nose.
That's

Speaker 7 not even asking that dangerous. That's what you see on the show.
Yep.

Speaker 1 Ears, it sounds like, could work.

Speaker 2 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 remedies, then nasal spray is probably my first go-to.

Speaker 1 Hank and I took a red eye no big deal.

Speaker 2 Thank you for your service.

Speaker 1 Thank you for thanking us.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 No, that's never a thought.

Speaker 2 She'll probably squirt.

Speaker 1 He's not. He doesn't sound like someone who's like,

Speaker 1 who's thinking about his significant other ever. All right.
Okay, numbers.

Speaker 2 Going for two in a row. Jake, has anyone gotten two in a row?

Speaker 7 I don't believe so.

Speaker 1 I did, but it was off. All right.
Remember, I did it on whatever. I think I did

Speaker 1 short porch in here, and then we did PMT. It was unofficial.
Yeah. It was an unofficial two in a row.

Speaker 7 25.

Speaker 2 22. I'm going to go with

Speaker 2 87.

Speaker 1 Hank.

Speaker 6 Seven.

Speaker 2 Seven? Seven. Seven.

Speaker 1 59.

Speaker 2 Huh. Hank, would you guys?

Speaker 6 35.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 6 Love you guys.

Speaker 1 The human body can drink so much water that they don't have to piss.

Speaker 2 Certain types of rats love to chug beers.

Speaker 2 I don't know what

Speaker 2 to say. I'm saving
