Speaker 1 On today's part of my take, we have special guest

Speaker 1 LeBron James and the Toon Squad versus the Goon Squad. And Michael Jordan.
And Michael Jordan. Oh, now spoiler.
Spoiler. We review Space Jam 2.

Speaker 1 I think either you have seen it because you're a big LeBron fan or you're a parent, or you're never going to see it. So there will be spoilers, but who the fuck cares?

Speaker 1 It's funny to joke about this movie. We went to the movie theater, old-fashioned, raw dog in its style.
We're going to recap all of that.

Speaker 1 We have a ton to recap in terms of the NBA Finals, Colin Morikawa, a little F1 talk, who's back. Great show for you on a Monday.

Speaker 1 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce, only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 1 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 1 No place to hang out the washing,

Speaker 1 and then I can't blame all on the sun. Oh no, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue,

Speaker 1 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 1 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Elaine Trake Avenue. It's Pardon My Take presented by Farm Stool Sports.
Welcome to Pardon My Take presented by Molson Coors, TimeForThatBeer.com.

Speaker 1 If someone had told you that you need to get a beer after the pandemic is over, well hold them accountable and go to timeforthatbeer.com right now and they will buy you a beer at a bar.

Speaker 1 Today is Monday, July 19th,

Speaker 1 and the Milwaukee Bucks are one win away from an NBA title. We have a series now, big cat.
We do. And so the stat that you always look at is the team that wins game five, they have a 72.5%

Speaker 1 chance of going on to win the NBA Finals if they go up that three games to two. Right.
So it was the pivotal game five. And it was a crazy game.
And the last one.

Speaker 1 The last two games have been, honestly, some of the best basketball that I've ever seen played in my entire life. They've been so fun.

Speaker 1 And game four was crazy and weird and like, you know, flops and all that. Game five was just an incredible game played by both teams.
The shot making was off the charts. The Suns didn't even play.

Speaker 1 You know, a game is good when the losing team actually played really well. They just didn't play as good as the winning team.
The Suns, I have a stat for you. I saw this tweeted out.

Speaker 1 Ralph Michaels was who tweeted it out. Teams that shoot over 55% from the field, over 65% from three, and over 90% from the free throw line have lost just once in 32,180 games since 1995.

Speaker 1 On Saturday night, that was the second time ever. That's insane.
The Suns shot over 55% from the field, over 65%

Speaker 1 from three-point, and over 90%

Speaker 1 from the free throw line. They shot 13 for 19 from three and lost the game.

Speaker 1 It's mind-boggling. And if you watch that first quarter, you're like, the Suns are going to absolutely trounce the Bucs.
And the Bucs just kept on punching back.

Speaker 1 And their big three, which I think we can call it now, right?

Speaker 1 Their big three all stepped up. They are the big three.
So it was Giannis, Middleton, and Holiday.

Speaker 1 They are the first team in the NBA Finals since 1985 to have three guys go for 25 points on 50% shooting in the same game.

Speaker 1 The last time it happened was James Worthy, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Magic Johnson. Pretty good.
Oh,

Speaker 1 you've heard of them? Yeah. Ever heard of them? Yeah, it was crazy.

Speaker 1 Like I said, the shot making was insane. Drew Holiday was the guy.

Speaker 1 I love Drew Holiday because

Speaker 1 he picks, and I went and looked back. He picks one game every series where he's like, I'm just going to be awesome offensively.
Like, his defense is always great.

Speaker 1 I think people actually, you know, we joked about the Chris Paul injury. I think a lot of it has to do with Drew Holiday's defense.

Speaker 1 Or sorry, if you're Ryan Hollins, Drew Holiday, I don't know if you saw that.

Speaker 1 He tweeted in the middle of Drew Holiday going off, saying, I told you guys to respect Drew Holiday.

Speaker 1 You can always use the classic speech-to-text mess me up for that one. That probably was it.
Is he the only person on earth named Drew J-R-U-E? It's an awesome name. It is a great name.
I like it.

Speaker 1 It's a fantastic name. But so, Drew Holiday, one game every series.
So this is their fourth series, obviously, in these playoffs.

Speaker 1 One game every series, he just decides he's going to shoot over 60% from the field. And you can look at it.
He's actually actually done it. And so it's, I love guys like this.

Speaker 1 They're like, they're the what-if guys. They're the

Speaker 1 Joe Flacco elite guys. Like, hey, at some point, they could just put it all together for that one moment and they become something just totally different than what we expect.

Speaker 1 Joe Flacco's moment was, it lasted for five minutes. It was very, yes.
Well, you know, so Drew Holiday.

Speaker 1 These are my stats. I found these stats.

Speaker 1 So in his four games, these playoffs, in each series, literally one in every single series, his fuck you games, I'm going to just be awesome. He's shooting 63% from the field and 56% from three.

Speaker 1 In the other 18 games, he's shooting 37% from the field and 27% from three. You know what the difference is in those games?

Speaker 1 So I read a little bit about Drew Holiday yesterday, and his dad is like his biggest cheerleader. His dad is the opposite of John Moran's dad, who's his first hater.

Speaker 1 Drew Holiday's dad is always like, you need to be more aggressive. You're the best player on the court.

Speaker 1 So his dad gasses him up like once a series, and he gets frustrated if his son isn't playing up to the very lofty standards that he has, which we'll discuss more in Space Jam 2 review.

Speaker 1 But his dad just like gasses him up and is like, you got to go off, Drew. You're the best player on the court.
And then, you know, once every week or so, he's like, you know what? My dad's right.

Speaker 1 I am pretty good at basketball. And if you're a fan, you love those type of guys because you can always be like, hey, what if tonight's the night?

Speaker 1 What if tonight's the night that Drew Holiday decides it's the night that he's going to shoot 60% from the field. And he did that on Saturday night, and that was a difference.

Speaker 1 And then obviously he makes the biggest play of the game with the steal of Devin Booker, and then the lob pass to Giannis, which I don't know if you guys agree, but in the moment, I was actually shouting out loud, don't pass it to Giannis, because all they're going to do is follow him.

Speaker 1 But clearly, that's why we're sitting on the couch, and these guys are playing in the NBA Finals, because it was an incredible, it was a gutsy play, and it was an incredible lob.

Speaker 1 And then Chris Paul is Chris Paul with the dirty foul. Okay, well, Ryan Rossari

Speaker 1 is really having a tough week. Okay,

Speaker 1 I'm officially out on Chris Paul. I'm team fuck Chris Paul for life now.

Speaker 1 Unless he has like a big turnaround and fixes everything about who he is, I'm team fuck Chris Paul because that foul on that Alley Oop is like the dirtiest thing that you can possibly do.

Speaker 1 It's the precisely it's you know what? But it's also so Chris Paul. You know what makes me mad, though? It's the Suns guy.
Yeah, I do.

Speaker 1 I love the Suns, but fuck Chris Paul because if that same thing happened to Chris Paul, Chris Paul would call the police on the person that shoved him in the back.

Speaker 1 He'd be taken off in a stretcher. Yeah.
So

Speaker 1 if a really tough guy made a foul like that, you'd be like, oh, you know, he's kind of, he pushes the line sometimes. He sets the tone.
No free buttons. Yeah, exactly.
He sets the tone.

Speaker 1 He's just known as a mean dude. You can play dirty, and people are just like, oh, you're just mean.
You're an enforcer. But you can't do that if you're a wimp.

Speaker 1 And Chris Paul is the definition of a wimp. And you can't try to injure the team's best player with that dirty ass move.

Speaker 1 I'm out on Chris Paul. I can deal with him all the theatrics and the flopping and stuff.
That's funny. That stuff can be very hilarious to me sometimes.
But you can't be both at the same time.

Speaker 1 But this is Chris Paul.

Speaker 1 The Denver Series Chris Paul is Chris Paul in that. When he has it all going, there's no one like him in terms of controlling a game and doing everything.

Speaker 1 But the downside to Chris Paul, the haters of Chris Paul, which I'm putting you in the category now, will say I think I'm a defender of the game. He flops.

Speaker 1 He is

Speaker 1 sometimes known for cheap shots. And he has not come up in big moments.
And this last week has been like all the bad side of Chris Paul.

Speaker 1 And I have to wonder if it, I mean, Ryan Silla named him his son like a week ago. And now he's got to live up to those expectations.

Speaker 1 Well, and also he has to carry the weight of LeBron James on his shoulders, coming to the games, openly rooting for him.

Speaker 1 LeBron James is basically treating Chris like his son. I love the Disney pettiness of putting

Speaker 1 the reviews, which we will get to of Space Jam underneath LeBron. I don't know if you saw that.
No, I didn't see it.

Speaker 1 It was amazing.

Speaker 1 I thought it was Photoshopped. I saw it was Photoshop.

Speaker 1 At first, they showed him on the sideline, and then they went back to him, and it says LeBron James stars Space Jam, a new legacy, 31% Rotten Tomatoes,

Speaker 1 4.1 out of 10 IMDb, 38%

Speaker 1 Metacritic. Yeah, I did see that.
It's also tough for LeBron that that picture of that dunk, like the greatest dunk of all time, with Chris Paul doing a cheap play, and he's in it.

Speaker 1 And Adele gasping. Yeah.
Adele and Rich Paul. They're dating.
Didn't know that. I was saving that for the review, but

Speaker 1 shout out to Rich Paul. Shout out to Rich Paul.

Speaker 1 Yeah, LeBron sneaking in his tequila, which actually was the greatest marketing ever.

Speaker 1 It's against the law in Arizona. That was genius.
That shirt was loud as hell. It was.
It was definitely a party shirt. Yeah, that was the Dan Flash's special.
Yes, absolutely. absolutely.

Speaker 1 But Chris Paul, like the head of the NFL PA or the NBA, whatever, like both. That's got to be bad if one of your star players is promoting another brand.

Speaker 1 Like if he sets the precedent, that's going to be a bad thing. I agree.
So a lot of people were calling me a narc online because I questioned the sons to rebellion

Speaker 1 whether or not that was legal.

Speaker 1 There are kids that were watching the game, Big Cat. It came on at 9 p.m.
Eastern Time, but that means that it came on at 6 p.m. Pacific time.

Speaker 1 A lot of kids still awake watching that, watching their hero. And the fact that he was going BYOV, I don't know.
I just don't know if that was appropriate for the children.

Speaker 1 On a real note, though, like that is maybe the coolest thing that LeBron James has done is be a BYOB guy. Yeah.
I love that. Yeah, everywhere.
B-Y-O-Hole tequila box.

Speaker 1 Yeah, everywhere should be B-Y-O-B. Agreed.
Speaking of Revellion, let me just throw this out there. He said, sons and four guy trying to pivot his fame to sons lost four guy.
That's fucking awesome.

Speaker 1 Boom.

Speaker 1 You can try to match Revelle's wit. His anti-comedy is some of the best comedy in in the world.
Yes. It really is.
Like, you have to really,

Speaker 1 you have to be sick in the head and poisoned by the internet, which I count both of us to be in that category to be like, wow, actually, that's funny in a totally not funny way.

Speaker 1 I think my favorite one of those is when Katie Ladecki won that race, and he said, Katie Ladecki Terriot. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's pretty good. But yeah, the big three of the Bucs needs...

Speaker 1 I mean, Giannis has been incredible, incredible.

Speaker 1 But Chris Middleton, like, their half-court offense is basically Giannis can bully DeAndre Ayton, and if that doesn't work, Chris Middleton is just going to make a shot where he's completely guarded and his shot-making is off the charts.

Speaker 1 And then Drew Holiday having that type of night, he's played great defense all series. This is the other part that I love is that, you know, it was actually a real thing.

Speaker 1 The Bucs, when they traded for Drew Holiday, a lot of teams thought they were going to try to get Chris Paul, and they made the decision they wanted Drew Holiday instead of Chris Paul.

Speaker 1 Now, I don't know if Chris Paul would have gone to Milwaukee, but it pays off in this series, and I love those storylines where you have two guys,

Speaker 1 they could have feasibly taken either one, and they went with Drew Holiday, who's been playing better than Chris Paul in this series.

Speaker 1 The crazy part about Giannis is when he does get the ball in the low post against Aiton, who is a massive human being, Giannis looks so much bigger. Yeah.
His arms are so much bigger.

Speaker 1 His wingspan, I don't know if he actually has a bigger wingspan, but the way that he moves makes eighten look tiny and he's yannis is so alpha like he does he just goes at guys like when he just goes at them and you know he'll either do a spin move or just you know pirouette on the baseline he just he just goes at everyone and i don't know how you how you make a player that can stop yannis i don't know like unless you figure out a brand new type of defense that hasn't really been experimented on and that works i don't know like there's you have to grow somebody from the age of like 13.

Speaker 1 you have to identify okay this person is going to be seven feet tall. We need to get them working out in this specific way to put on upper body mass and then just have them wetting threes all day.

Speaker 1 It's the

Speaker 1 Reggie Evans clip is going viral again this week of him when Giannis first came in the league asking, How old are you? And Giannis is like 20, and you can see Reggie Evans be like, 20? Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 And like shocked about it. Yeah, there's really, there's no way.
There's no human being out there that's like Giannis at all. And he's very likable, and he's fun, you know, to

Speaker 1 watch. And

Speaker 1 I don't root for the Bucs, but it's hard not to root for a guy like Giannis,

Speaker 1 which

Speaker 1 the long way of saying is I can't wait for America to tear him down in the next couple of years.

Speaker 1 Well, I would say for right now, he's definitely the best superstar athlete in Wisconsin by far, the best leader of any professional sports franchise, most dedicated to the state

Speaker 1 of anybody that's playing there right now. This is the week.
I heard that Aaron Rodgers got his house deep cleaned this week, which probably means means putting it on

Speaker 1 the market, I would say. I heard, this is a true thing.
I heard that Aaron Rodgers was taking Spanish lessons with his lovely bride, and they canceled their Green Bay Spanish lessons that they were.

Speaker 1 Oh. So might not be in town anymore to Habla de Español.

Speaker 1 I just started going French there. That's okay.
I have to work on the rest of it. It's all languages of love.
They're all Latin. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, I don't know. The Bucs,

Speaker 1 should we give them their flowers? They've still got to win one more. I actually think it's weird, but like the Suns are, like, game six, this series has been fantastic.

Speaker 1 I think I wouldn't be shocked if the Suns are able to win, because that game was so well played on both sides. Again, it didn't feel the stakes are so high.

Speaker 1 They lose game five, but I didn't walk away from it being like, man, the Bucs just killed the Suns. The Suns played incredible.
They just came up short. The Bucs played the perfect game.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they did. They did.
They actually did. On the road.

Speaker 1 And Hank was saying when we were watching it, he was saying that you thought that the Bucs were going to win that game the entire time, and then the Suns would win in game six.

Speaker 1 You still feel like the Suns have a shot? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's what would be the most fun

Speaker 1 for Chaos Project. Well, if you're Adam Silver,

Speaker 1 you're thinking about making the call.

Speaker 1 Two world wins. Whoever the opposite of Scott Foster is.
Hey, Giannis.

Speaker 1 Giannis, turns out, was hanging out, has been identified as a close contact of his brother who is out with COVID.

Speaker 1 We're going to have to hold him out while he tests negative at least three times over three days. Guess what? He He can come back for game seven.
A little movie, hypothetical. That's interesting.

Speaker 1 If I was Adam Silver, I would be looking very hard at that scenario very strongly. Yeah, I mean, the Bucs have just,

Speaker 1 Giannis is just out of this world right now. And he's like, yeah.

Speaker 1 It's funny, too, because everyone wanted to make DeAndre Ayton the new Shaq. And it's like, you're watching him.
He's Giannis. I did.
I think that's a good thing.

Speaker 1 I'm not saying that's you. I said baby Shaq.
The world wanted to make that. And it's like, but Giannis is the guy who's physically.
They're obviously very different games.

Speaker 1 but in terms of physical dominance and like stat sheet dominance, that's very close to Shaq. I actually think that Giannis is just, he's just baby Giannis at this point.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because like he plays a completely different game than Shaq did. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Ayton is more of like a guy that doesn't really wander further than 10 feet out from the basket and he dominates the paint. So that's why I thought baby Shaq for Aiton.

Speaker 1 And it's just Giannis is just being Giannis. And Pat Conaton, he's been awesome.
He actually has, he tries so hard and now he's making shots.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 speaking of Giannis, though, I wanted, wanted to just,

Speaker 1 the media loved his quote. I don't know if you saw it.
Yeah, I was just going to bring that up. Okay, so if you missed it, Giannis had a quote after game four.
He said,

Speaker 1 I think it was a media day and off day. He said, when you focus on your past, that's your ego.
When you focus on your future, that's your pride. When you focus on the present, that's humility.

Speaker 1 And everyone's like, this is incredible. Am I the only one who's that quote makes no sense? I don't really understand how you can focus on the exact present all the time.
But no, not even that part.

Speaker 1 The future is your ego. The past is your pride.

Speaker 1 Past is. No, because you can also, ego and pride are very similar things.
Right. But you can be like, I did X, Y, and Z.
I've accomplished this much. That's who I am.

Speaker 1 That's why I deserve to feel good about myself now. That could be called either pride or ego.
And then if you think about the future, but what you want to accomplish.

Speaker 1 The future being like, I deserve this. That's your ego.
Are you thinking I deserve this? Are you thinking I've done this so I get this?

Speaker 1 I think it was just a quote that was engineered in a lab to make every youth basketball coach

Speaker 1 just like have their heads explode and be like, I'm going to get this tattooed across my chest. He dropped it at the perfect time.
He did.

Speaker 1 I just, I thought that the pride and ego thing should have been swapped. I get the sentiment.
It's essentially he repackaged.

Speaker 1 What is it? Yesterday.

Speaker 1 What is it? Yesterday

Speaker 1 is given. Given tomorrow is earned a gift, and today is a present.
Present is due every day. It's forgotten.
No, it's tomorrow's a gift. Live, laugh, and live, laugh.

Speaker 1 Dance like no one's watching. Success isn't owned.
It's leased. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Got it. Dance like no one's watching.
Live, laugh, love.

Speaker 1 Tomorrow is a gift. Today is a present.

Speaker 3 Today is a gift. That's why we call it a present.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's

Speaker 1 fucked. Oh, God.

Speaker 1 Damn it.

Speaker 1 Wait, no, I got it. I've got it.
I found it. Right.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery.
But today is a gift. That is why it's called the present.
There it is, Jake. Thank you.

Speaker 1 Champagne for all my real friends and real pain for all my sham friends. Yes, I like that.
I like that. I bought a book of toasts the other week.
It's amazing. I just sit there.
It's honor to honor.

Speaker 1 It's the perfect toilet real quick. If you can't come honor, what is it?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 That's a real toast that everyone who's 20 years old old thinks it's the funniest thing ever. I remember I thought it was funny.
If you can't

Speaker 1 honor, if you can't. All right, now I'm sorry.
To have and to honor. If you can't come in or come on or something, look, all right, to honor.
Oh, here we go. Not safe for work.

Speaker 1 All right. Yeah, every time I see the not safe for work tag.
Oh, to valor, to honor, to getting honor, to staying honor. And if you can't come in or come on.
Yeah, there you go. That was sky stuff.

Speaker 1 We're on 19 years old. It's like, dude, that is the funniest thing that's ever been made.

Speaker 1 and you say it once in like a mixed crowd and like nope yeah that's not funny uh but yeah yannis's quote like he's this is the yannis love fest and he deserves it he he really does like it it's uh he's been incredible and that quote was awesome they still got one to go i also think

Speaker 1 i think the most amazing part of that quote was that he just he just thought of saying that in the spur of the moment somebody was like tell tell us how you remain humble and he like thought about it and gave a thoughtful answer plant that ended up sounding like poetry almost.

Speaker 1 It might have been a plant, but you could see him thinking about what to say. It's like,

Speaker 1 you should be like, you are a Greek philosopher, to be honest. That's amazing.

Speaker 1 I also think the way the Bucs are doing it, because

Speaker 1 it's the opposite of everything that they were the last few years, where they were kind of the frontrunners, best team in the regular season, get punched in the mouth in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 Remember, they won those first two games against the Raptors, and then the Raptors made an adjustment, and they never made a counter-adjustment.

Speaker 1 The Bucs' entire playoffs

Speaker 1 this year has been counter-adjustments and fighting back. Giannis gets hurt.
It's just been fantastic to watch. I was thinking about it all the way back to game one of the playoffs.

Speaker 1 Remember when the Heat went to overtime with him? You're like, oh, this is going to be a tough series for him. And it's just, they're a completely different team.

Speaker 1 And game six in Milwaukee at night, the Brewers were going to play that night game. As first reported on part of my take last week with Christian Yelich, they've moved that game to, what, 3:30?

Speaker 1 For Christian Yellich. He'll hit a home run.
We're 19 away, boys. So Christian Yelich will probably be at the game chugging at least a full beer.

Speaker 1 Yes, hopefully hitting a couple home runs during the day. Yep.
Also, shout out to the reporter. Did you see this that asked

Speaker 1 Devin Booker, who's sitting next to Chris Paul there doing the joint interview, and he said, How sorry do you, or how bad do you feel for Chris Paul right now?

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 Devin just like looked at the guy, and Chris Paul looked over at him like, you better not fucking answer that question. Yeah, he goes, how frustrated are you for Chris Paul?

Speaker 1 That's a great question. It is.
Great question. Take some balls to ask that question.

Speaker 1 I have some a woe number that's not going to really translate to a podcast, but I'm going to say it anyway.

Speaker 1 And I want to want to just preface it with saying, my neighbor told me this, so if it sounds really stupid, blame him. If it sounds great, it's all my credit.
Your neighbor, J.J. Reddick? No, not J.J.

Speaker 1 Reddick. Okay.
My neighbor told me this about the Bucs. He's a Bucs fan.
Okay, so he said

Speaker 1 they crunched the numbers, and this is going to be a tattoo. Someone's going to tattoo.
A lot of people are going to tattoo this in Milwaukee if they end up winning on Tuesday night.

Speaker 1 The Bucs, this playoffs, are going to go a perfect sequence of four wins, two losses, two wins, a loss, two wins, a loss, two wins, a loss, two wins, two losses, and four wins.

Speaker 1 It's exactly, it's four, two, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, two, four.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Again,

Speaker 1 I prefaced it. Did you hear the preface? 4-2-2.
I said that this could be very stupid.

Speaker 1 And it probably is, but someone's going to get a tattoo of it. And I want to just say, shout out, that's a cool tattoo.
I feel like I'm missing something, though.

Speaker 1 What makes it a perfect sequence of numbers? It's exactly, it's

Speaker 1 a race car. It's a race car.
Oh, it's a Palandron. Palendron.
Okay, there's it. Same, same forward.
You got it?

Speaker 1 I probably didn't didn't say it correctly, but that's it. Yeah.
They're going to end both. They're going to end the playoffs.
They're going to start the playoffs with four straight wins.

Speaker 1 They're going to end it with four straight wins. MBT.
Now there's no way that's going to be a win. It was exactly 2-2-1-2, 1-2, 1-2-2.
Okay, so palindrome. Yes.
Got it. That's a cool tattoo.

Speaker 1 That would be a cool tattoo. It was mushed it.
It would be a cool tattoo. It just mushed it so hard.
Like, look at it written out. I wrote it.
I just mushed it so hard. See, that's kind of cool.

Speaker 1 Why don't say if it happens? Yeah, I know. You just mushed it from head.
How do you want me to fucking fight?

Speaker 1 You probably should have held it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we're going to go. I don't care.
I want to get ahead of it. Now it's definitely not going to happen.
Get that tattoo right now. Someone get that tattoo today.
No one gives it.

Speaker 1 Just send it to us. No one gives it.
I'll give you a $100 gift card to the barstool store. Jeff Fisher had a lot of palindromic records as well.
That's true. No one says anything.

Speaker 1 Again, I said it was, listen, blame my neighbor. If it was stupid, blame my neighbor.
I said that right at the beginning. Oh, I don't think it's stupid at all.

Speaker 1 Then I get the credit. I think it's stupid that you said it today as opposed to saying it after they won on Tuesday.
Well, I'm calling my shot, I guess. You know what, though?

Speaker 1 Our podcast is going to be so chock-filled with show on Wednesday that a stat, even that fun, probably wouldn't have had a chance to get it. Yeah, exactly.
We wouldn't have been able to sneak it in.

Speaker 1 So there you go. Someone get that tattoo today, $100.
I will send you a...

Speaker 1 Because you can always explain it away if you don't. How many numbers are in that? One, two, three.
This is my friend Tessa. Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.
Eleven numbers, okay.

Speaker 1 Eleven numbers.

Speaker 1 That's wild. Yeah, that is wild, huh? And oh, here's another one: four, and then the middle number's one, and the last number is four.
That's Milwaukee's area code. Now, that's cool.

Speaker 1 So that's hidden in there. In there.
So, what you're going to have to do is you're going to get the numbers, and then you're going to get those either outlined in green or bolded. Yes.

Speaker 1 So it really pops up. Yes.

Speaker 1 What's the longitude-latitude points of that? It's that exact.

Speaker 1 Did you say logitude?

Speaker 1 Longitude.

Speaker 1 What's crazy? Logitude is zero.

Speaker 1 There is no logic behind this. All those numbers, that is Milwaukee's exact logitude.
Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 Hey, I don't know. It's stupid.
It's stupid. Billy, I thought you'd like that.
You like that? All right, cool.

Speaker 1 Anything else about this game? I'm excited

Speaker 1 for game six on Tuesday.

Speaker 3 To PFT's question earlier, in 2020, there were 119 baby boys named J-R-U-E.

Speaker 1 So that's going to be the next Jalen. Jalen, yeah.

Speaker 1 17 girls. Yeah, so Jalen Rose was like the first Jalen.
Now everybody that's getting drafted in the NBA is named Jalen. Can you look up 10 years ago how many babies were named Drew?

Speaker 1 Because I would expect it would be on an upward trajectory.

Speaker 1 Like two.

Speaker 1 You got it? 11. Okay.
Yeah. All right.
So we're building something. I can't wait.
It's like AMC. Yeah.
We're going to have to find. It's a cool website.

Speaker 3 You can do every year and every name.

Speaker 1 Do

Speaker 1 you have to comment on Dorothy's?

Speaker 1 Did they make any Dorothy?

Speaker 1 How else would you say? D-O-R. He doesn't even know it.
Yeah, there are none. With a Y or an E-R.
D-O-Y. I've never seen it.
D-O-T-H-Y.

Speaker 1 An A, you said? E-A. Oh, E-A.
Wow.

Speaker 3 I feel like I've seen that before.

Speaker 1 Really? At a strip club? Dorothea?

Speaker 1 Dorothea.

Speaker 1 Give me a Dorothy.

Speaker 3 Dorothy, what year?

Speaker 1 This year.

Speaker 3 2020.

Speaker 1 Like, think about a baby Dorothy.

Speaker 3 There are 559 baby girls named Dorothy.

Speaker 1 Wow, that's really not that. Give me a status update on Agnes.
What was the AGNES? What was the thing that... 182.
Wow, that's a dying name. Hardknox is coming up.

Speaker 1 There are more Drews than Agnes is now.

Speaker 1 We've crossed that line.

Speaker 3 No, it was 119 Drews.

Speaker 1 Okay, well, next year. Especially after what we saw happen the other night.
Probably a lot of babies conceived in Milwaukee last night.

Speaker 1 What was the Hard Knocks bit? Who did that when they were talking about babies? Antonio Cremardi? No, no, no, no, not that one. Ah, fuck.
I can't even.

Speaker 1 That was actually a rip-off bit from a comedian that was like, you ever meet a baby named George or something like that? But who was it? Who did that? I forget.

Speaker 1 I want to say, fuck.

Speaker 1 Riley. No, it wasn't.
It was the offensive corner. Who's the guy

Speaker 1 who got in the fight in Pittsburgh? Todd Haley. Todd Haley.
It was him. He was definitely him.
So Todd Haley was a little bit more than a hundred. He was repurposing old bits for hard knocks.

Speaker 1 What about Hit Me With a Joan? How many Jones we got cooking now? J-O-N.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 171 boys, 137 girls.

Speaker 1 Oh! Some boys are taking the Joan. Wow.
That's interesting. All right, let's get to some other stuff here.
Very cool, Jake.

Speaker 1 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 1 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boar's Head premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 1 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo style chicken paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy monster cheese are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 1 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.
Okay, Colin Morikawa. Oh boy, that was...
He was insane. It was dominant.

Speaker 1 Wins the Open Championship.

Speaker 1 What did they call him after? Like the Golfer of the Year? Yeah, you win the Golfer of the Year

Speaker 1 title. Yeah.
It's an awesome...

Speaker 1 It's a low-key, great, great trophy. I actually, there's a part of me that thinks I would rather win the Open Championship than the Masters.
Yeah. Nah.
No. It's just so much classic.

Speaker 1 It sounded good coming off your tongue, and then I was like, nope. Did you hear how much class you sent me? Yeah, I did.
For a second, I was into it, and then I was like, nah, I still do it.

Speaker 1 Just because

Speaker 1 for so many years, after the fact, you just get to hear Scottish people address you as the open championship winner. Yeah.
And that's just a badass thing to hear. He was awesome, though.

Speaker 1 So Colin Moricawa went bogey-free in the final round of both of his major wins, basically saying he's the only player in the last 25 years to win multiple majors with bogey-free final rounds.

Speaker 1 He was incredible. It was pretty much a no-doubter.

Speaker 1 There was a moment on Saturday where he fell back.

Speaker 1 I want to say he fell back three strokes and then he was like, nah, I'm good. And then just took over and did it all.
And he had a nice speech after. Good guy.

Speaker 1 It's a good guy.

Speaker 1 Did he thank us? He didn't. Well, kind of.
It was kind of understood. No, but did you hear his speech? No.
He said, we don't do it enough where we look to the people next to us and just say thank you.

Speaker 1 So he did kind of thank us. Yeah, we were next to him.
Yeah, he said thank you. You know what? You're welcome, Colin.
You're welcome, Colin. Colin does seem like a good guy.

Speaker 1 He would definitely be in our golf crew if we had space for him.

Speaker 1 We can't open it up for everybody. And I think he's a good person to root for.
We root for him absolutely every time, unless it's one of our main dudes that are about to win.

Speaker 1 And I'll tell you what, Brooks Kapka. What's the award that they give to a player that shoots the lowest round on Sunday? Yeah, they should.
Because Brooks gets

Speaker 1 the golden. He just ran out of time.
The golden spikes. Yeah, he ran out of time.
And then we had two insane stories with our other two guys. Will Zalatorus got hurt, which I felt bad for.

Speaker 1 He had to withdraw. He also missed that putt, so we hope he gets better.
And then Max Homa, the craziest story of all weekend, he made the cut.

Speaker 1 No one saw it coming. Yeah.
No one saw it coming.

Speaker 1 I tuned in on Sunday morning. I was like, wait, what? What are you doing here?

Speaker 1 It was like a normal wake-up for me. I woke up at like 10.30 a.m.
and Max Homa was teaming up at the Open Championship. I was like, I know that guy.

Speaker 1 Are you sure you're not supposed to be in the crowd? I was like, that's Max, the guy that's on Twitter, right? Holy fuck, he's a golfer? I just assumed.

Speaker 1 I think what happened is that he probably shared a private jet with Colin. so they probably just let him make the cut no matter what.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 TV graphics were so confused, they put him as Max Homer for a little bit. Really? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I love that.

Speaker 1 Congrats to our guy, Max Homer, for making the cut.

Speaker 1 It was good. It was a good moment.
I feel bad for Uost Husan.

Speaker 1 Dude, Oostahusen. No, what is Francesca call him? Francesca calls him Uosten.
Ustahusen.

Speaker 1 Oost the Husan. Because he is Mr.
Saturday. He's Mr.
Moving Day.

Speaker 1 He always shows up at the top of the scoreboard for about an hour on Saturday afternoon. He's the major's version of Tony Fee now.
He's a bridesmaid. He's always a bridesmaid.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's just leveled up Tony Fee now. It sucks.
Every single... Yeah, it sucks for him.
And then Bryson, good job, good effort, dude. What'd you finish? Like 60th? Well, he also had...

Speaker 1 He tied Brooks for the Golden Spikes Award on Sunday. There's also some.

Speaker 1 It's not just Brooks. So people are like, hey, it's Brooks versus Bryson.
Did you see Justin Thomas?

Speaker 1 He commented on

Speaker 1 an Instagram post that basically said,

Speaker 1 I'm trying to find it right now. It was saying, like, you know, repeating everything that Bryson had said.

Speaker 1 And he was like, I can't believe the mad scientist didn't figure this one out or something like that. Like, essentially making fun of him.
Oh, here it is. I got it.

Speaker 1 Never would have thought swinging at 135 plus miles per hour, it'd be hard to drive it straight. You'd think Mr.
Physics would know that. Yeah.
Nice, Justin Thomas.

Speaker 1 Welcome on the show anytime.

Speaker 1 I've started to weirdly respect Bryson for being just such a world-class. Take out getting soft.
No, no, no, no. I'm not in a good respect way.
J.J. Watt all over.
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 Just as Hank is very

Speaker 1 mad. Maybe respect's the wrong word, but like, I'm almost admiring.
I don't know. I feel bad for him.
I don't know how much. I do.
5%. 5% is not a lie.
I don't.

Speaker 1 I feel 0% bad for him, but I just keep wondering, like, how much further can he go? And he always finds he's really good at being a prick. Oh, yeah.
He is amazing at it.

Speaker 1 And, like, do you know how big of a dickhead you have to be to get fired as a client or as like a spokesperson for somebody? Like, they're paying him money, right, to be their sponsor.

Speaker 1 And they're about to. And they're making his clubs for him.
Yeah. And they're about to fire all of it.
They're about to fire him.

Speaker 1 Like, the guy that they went out and begged to be a part of their team and be like the face of Cobra drivers. They're like, fuck, we can't work with this guy.
Yeah. He's unworkable.
He is not,

Speaker 1 he's never happy. That was the quote.
He's an eight-year-old. He He said he's an eight-year-old.
He is never happy.

Speaker 1 But yeah, shout out Colin Morikawa. Awesome.
Yeah. Awesome.
And

Speaker 1 I do time ever playing Lynx golf. He played the week before the Scottish Open and then wins the Open Championship.
And it was

Speaker 1 something about the British Open, I think it's just the timing of it is always such a nice pleasure. Like you finish.
Like he won it at one o'clock, and then I was like, okay. Cool.
Done for the day.

Speaker 1 Like, gonna go for a walk. That was nice.
It was also, I think it was on the anniversary of the Jean Vandevelde meltdown at Carnusti. Yes.

Speaker 1 I just like every time I tune in for the Open Championship, I need to see just a picture of him standing in that black water with his shoes off, thinking about hitting the ball out of it.

Speaker 1 And his trousers all the way up to his knees. His trousers, and then Mike Tarico being like, oh no, he's not going to do this.
What is going on? He's not. Somebody needs to slap some sense into him.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 I think

Speaker 1 that's the most hilarious meltdown of all time.

Speaker 1 I think we did this for Mount Rushmore season, by the way, starting soon.

Speaker 1 I think we did the moments that we wish Twitter existed for. That was a big miss.

Speaker 1 Because that would have been an all-timer. It was incredible.
Like, he's standing in the water on the 18th hole. He had a three-stroke lead, I think, going into it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's going to hit this out of the water. Get a six, and that's all you need.
And he's trying to hit the ball out of the water until his caddy slaps him.

Speaker 1 He also had a great spin zone afterwards when they asked him about melting down. He was like,

Speaker 1 What is everybody making a big deal about this for? Like, it's a game.

Speaker 1 It's a game of golf. It's a sport.
Yeah, no one's, I don't care. I'm not going to care tomorrow.
And then Jack Nicholas was like, oh, he's going to care. Yeah, he's careful.

Speaker 1 Call that to Coach K.

Speaker 1 You lose, just say, it's a game. It's a sport, you know? It's a sport.
It's not life or death.

Speaker 1 All right. A little F1 talk.
It was electric. Also, we have a this league moment.

Speaker 1 I don't know if.

Speaker 1 So, Max Verstoppin, who I think we're going to have on the show eventually. Ain't no stopping.
We're fans of his. Well, we're fans of the sport.
And he's the best at the sport right now.

Speaker 1 All-time salty Instagram post after. So he got crashed by Lewis Hamilton in the first lap.
Lewis Hamilton goes on to win. Afterwards, Verstapen posts: First of all, I'm glad I'm okay.

Speaker 1 It was quite an impact at 51 Gs, but feeling better. Obviously, very disappointed with being taken out like this.

Speaker 1 The penalty given does not help us in any way and doesn't do justice to the dangerous move Lewis made on the track.

Speaker 1 Watching the celebrations after the race while still in the hospital is disrespectful and unsportsmanlike behavior, but we move on.

Speaker 1 he basically could have just summed it up with stay classy Lewis Hamilton. And that's that's a tough look no matter what.
Is he mad that he watched a television while he was in the hospital?

Speaker 1 No, he's mad.

Speaker 1 Well, he is an all-time like hyper-competitive guy, which is good because that's why he's one of the best drivers, if not the best driver right now in the world.

Speaker 1 But part of being hyper-competitive to a sick nature is that you can't lose well. And so he's mad that he was in the hospital and and they were celebrating and they didn't stop the sport for him.

Speaker 1 Okay. You're disrespecting Lewis Hamilton right now, by the way.
Why?

Speaker 1 Max is the best right now. He hasn't won shit.
I know. But right now, he's number one in the leading board.

Speaker 1 I mean, constructors are up three points. Mercedes is right on their ass.
Yeah, but Lewis Hamilton brings home championships.

Speaker 1 Did I stutter? No, I'm just saying, like, you're

Speaker 1 one. He's one.
You're being disrespectful. Yeah, I guess.
I mean, Lewis Hamilton's the go, but Max Verstoppin is the best race car driver right this second. want to say car? That's fine.

Speaker 1 It's like a Brady Rodgers argument we're having here. But he's leading right now.

Speaker 1 Right now, yeah. We'll see at that instance.
Right now.

Speaker 1 Lewis Hamilton wins championships every year. I actually took Lewis Hamilton's side.
I thought that he rubbed racing.

Speaker 1 My favorite part about it is they call it a racing incident, which I really do think, similar to how they're rebranding shark attacks, like a bang-bang targeting call that

Speaker 1 isn't targeting, but it's like, hey, the guy moved at the last second and they hit helmets. It's a football.
It's a football income. A football incident.
No, it's a football incident.

Speaker 1 The refs should just come out and be like, listen, I looked at the tape. Football incident.
Play on. Well, that's what they do after a catch.
It's like, is there an act common to the game of football?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Football incident.
Football incident. Football incident happened.
Let's keep playing.

Speaker 1 And so my whole thing is I can't get up for the F1 races in order to watch them live because I'm still not caught up yet. So now I feel like if I watch a race,

Speaker 1 it's a spoiler alert because they're going to talk about stuff that happened in the races like the last couple weeks. So I need to step my game up a little bit.
So wait, which is.

Speaker 1 You need to push, push. I do need to push on the viewer channel.
You know what? That's what I'll do tomorrow. Push, push.
That's what I'll do tomorrow.

Speaker 1 Yeah, just I'll. You know what? When you fire it up, call me and I'll just say push, push.
Push, push, push, push. Which is the Canadian billionaire's son that I'm rooting for? Lance Stroll.

Speaker 1 The guy, wait, because there are two of them. There's one guy that's on Williams.

Speaker 1 I want the shitty one. Lance.
Oh, I don't know what the other one's called. Lance Stroll's the only one that matters.
Lance Stroll? Finish Nathan.

Speaker 1 His dad's like a

Speaker 1 billionaire, like, evil.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's the one that I want. His dad is the guy that anyone on Twitter with a Rose avatar next to him wants a guillotine.

Speaker 1 Yeah, okay. Guillotine then.
You're right. I'm a Lance Stroll guy.
The other guy only got his job because his dad's a billionaire. Not Lance Stroll.
Yeah. Earned, not given.
Yeah, earned, not given.

Speaker 1 So you thought I was disrespectful to Lewis Hamilton? A little bit, yeah. I mean, you're just like talking like Max Russapens got the championship, you know.
You're right.

Speaker 1 Today changed everything. Yeah.
I can't. It's.
The standing, they're not up by a lot. I had to say that.
Did they change everything? Did they change everything? You were talking about it. I was like,

Speaker 1 am I wrong? Or is like they're a very close lead between one and two? And Chandler has won all the championships in the past. So why

Speaker 1 win this year? Going into today, if that crash doesn't happen, Verstapen's got a better car. He won, you know, he was sitting pole position.
He probably wins, and that's a different story.

Speaker 1 But you're right. So it's a statue today.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I have no problem with it.

Speaker 1 It's a fucking racing incident. Guess what? Guys race.
You race hard. I do like whenever someone is just,

Speaker 1 whenever someone's at the top of their game and they're so competitive and they just can't, like, they become the sorest losers possible.

Speaker 1 It's actually... kind of fun to watch because

Speaker 1 Max for Stopping, yeah, has probably been in that exact spot on the other side where he's pushed someone or crashed someone. He's like, hey, Rubbin's racing.
Was that was a British F1 race?

Speaker 1 British Grand Prix. Do they all take place in weird time zones? Or is there ever one that like Boston? Yeah.
And Canada, I think.

Speaker 1 That will be like the episode two, like, because all the episodes kind of go the same way, but it will be the beginning will be like Max Verstapen doing that, and then it will be like the end of it will be the British and him getting it fucked over.

Speaker 1 You know what we should do? Like, when they do come to the United States after the race, we should just write what the next F1 Drive to Survive episode should be. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then just see how close we get it. I do.

Speaker 1 It is kind of fucked up in your head now, like, with the way television works, is you watch something live and you're like, I can't wait to watch that in six months. You know why?

Speaker 1 They'll be kept because when they show it in six months, it's going to be different cameras. Yeah.
The cameras are going to be shot at like a different frames per second.

Speaker 1 And they have the announcer do, like, do a new announcing of every single event, which is kind of sick. Have you ever figured that out till like halfway through the first season?

Speaker 1 I was like, why is this announcer so locked in on the race between like 10th and 11th? It's like, oh, you idiot. He redoes all this.

Speaker 1 Have you ever DVR'd a game that you were at and then gone home and watched it? Yeah, that's fun too.

Speaker 1 Dude, the best part about being a sports fan is going to a game and then watching Sports Center after. And I'm like, oh, that's sick.
I was there. And so I used to do this back in college.

Speaker 1 I went to a couple of Washington football team games back then.

Speaker 1 And we would watch the game at the stadium and then we'd go back and we'd play the commentary and then be like, See, you hear what the Nature's saying right now? Hear what Mark Slaith is saying?

Speaker 1 I said that to you like two hours ago. Yep, yep,

Speaker 1 I spotted that. Yep.

Speaker 1 Only other thing I had before we get to who's back was Yankee fans just, this is the second time this year where it seems like Yankee fans are just walking around with baseballs in the stadium.

Speaker 1 Yeah, which is still so confusing.

Speaker 1 Was there any video that showed the player getting hit with the ball? Because I've only seen the aftermath. No, I haven't seen that.

Speaker 1 And when it happened, I was like, oh, that's a scummy thing, but maybe it's,

Speaker 1 you know, a home run ball. He throws it back, whatever that happens.

Speaker 1 But then I remembered that, wasn't it earlier this year that there was a delay in the game because there were baseballs on the ball yeah it was like are Yankee fans just showing up to Yankee stadium with baseballs in their pocket I mean if okay

Speaker 1 first of all we have two Yankee fans on the couch is that a thing it's not a thing but you sometimes do it happens no people bring balls to the game like

Speaker 1 balls out of games yeah

Speaker 1 disavow those yeah yeah so first of all I was gonna say we disavow the throwing of baseballs at players on the field however

Speaker 1 however that was a fucking hose that that guy has. Like, that's Rookie of the Year.

Speaker 1 That's the intro to Rookie of the Year where he just drills somebody in the outfield. Was it right after a home run

Speaker 1 or no? I think it was in the middle of just nothing. I'm not sure.
Okay, because I do think there's like a,

Speaker 1 I don't know, maybe call it one minute after a home run that if a ball hits a, like, that's not, I don't know if he necessarily meant to do that. He threw it back.
But guys throw balls back.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the guy that hit, the guy that hits back. Wait, but that makes no sense because they were in this.
Wait, wasn't that? It wasn't. Wasn't that at Yankee Stadium?

Speaker 1 That might have been a Red Sox fan that when Stanton was running around, or maybe that was a fancy. Also, I disavowed my comment.
I was going to get back into the infield. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I disavowed my own comment because now that I'm thinking about it, the Red Sox were in the outfield, so that makes no sense.

Speaker 1 I might reavow your comment because there's a chance that maybe the Red Sox hit that home run ball at the end of the previous inning, and that guy still had it.

Speaker 1 It was still kind of like burning a wall on his glove. And if that happens before the next day,

Speaker 1 before the next day. No, because then he meant to do it.

Speaker 1 You got one minute. You got one minute to throw it back, and that's it.
Shout out to guys at Wrigley who bring a ball.

Speaker 1 They bring a ball in their gloves, so if they catch an opposing team's home run, they keep that one and throw the other one back. Smart move.
Yeah, I got it.

Speaker 3 It was in between the sixth inning. The ball was tossed up into the stand, and

Speaker 3 chance immediately began for the fan to throw the ball back.

Speaker 1 Okay, so

Speaker 1 Verdugo threw it up. Probably him, yeah.
Okay, now this gets murky because there were eight

Speaker 1 throw it back. Everyone that said throw it back, that's inciting.
The Bronx Zoo. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They also were playing the game through like a

Speaker 1 straight-up downpour. Yeah, so bizarre.
They called the game, and so he actually hit him. Looked like there was going to be a fight for a second.
Now that fan is banned for life from all ML30s, should

Speaker 1 all 30 parks. That's actually a huge flex.
Yeah, what if they get a new

Speaker 3 if the Rays move to Montreal?

Speaker 1 Wait, but I'm not sure. No, wait, think that's true.
Is that a thing that's going to happen?

Speaker 3 I think there were talks of it.

Speaker 1 I think you're confused, though. When I say that's a huge flex, I'm saying for the fan.
Yeah. Yeah, like that's the greatest thing to be able to say, like, hey, I cannot go to any baseball game.

Speaker 1 If you're going to get banned from one, get banned from all because then you're the guy who's like, hey, hey, Joe, you want to go to a game? No,

Speaker 1 I cannot. Which sports do you think would be the coolest to say you got banned from all the arenas for?

Speaker 1 Cross. I think it would be football.
Don't have to ever go.

Speaker 1 I was going to say because then that just, like, I'd rather be watching Red zone on sundays with scott handson yeah with scott handson yeah but then like sundays like if if the wft go to the super bowl that sucks no again i think i'd rather watch it on tv i don't know there'd be there's certain games you'd like to maybe go see in person i mean the chances of them going to a super bowl yeah that's true that's fair um all right let's get to who's back of the week who's back of the week is brought to you by our friends at what's up guys it's big cat here making my irish entrance with proper number 12 irish whiskey how do you make an irish entrance you ask?

Speaker 1 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 1 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt. Age four years in bourbon barrels.
Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 1 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 1 So get out there and make your Irish entrance. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.
Who's back of the week? Hank. I have a couple who's backs.
My first one is the Kells Brothers. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Kelse brothers. Kelsey's.
Kelse brothers. Kelsey.
Kelsey's. Kells.
Kelsey's. Apparently, everyone has been calling Travis and his brother by the wrong name for their entire career.

Speaker 1 It's his brother Jason. It's pronounced Kelse.
Kelsey what? Yeah, there's like a TikTok.

Speaker 1 Travis Kelsey was saying that he's like, yeah, people just always call me Kelsey, so I went with it, but it's pronounced Kelsey. It's too late.

Speaker 1 If you let me get away with calling you a certain name for like a year, I'm not changing it. Also, just not.

Speaker 1 He sucks now. Whoa.
No, I'm just saying, like, if you told me the Chiefs have Travis Kelse, I'm like, well, they're not going to win anything. It's a rebrand.

Speaker 1 Kelsey is like, Travis, like, I don't know. It's got some swag to it.

Speaker 1 No offense to his name, but yeah yeah like Tyrod Taylor was great until he changed his name to Tyrod you know what's interesting so you're not going to respect that you're just going to keep going with Kelsey listen yeah I think

Speaker 1 if you're asking any man over the age of 30 years old if you've been pronouncing a name a certain way for longer than five years they'll never change it never I still call him John Wooten

Speaker 1 but the question is there's one person in this room that should probably change the pronunciation. Will he?

Speaker 1 Billy? No, just kidding. Jake?

Speaker 3 Yeah, if I ever called his game, I'd make sure to.

Speaker 1 What if you're calling like when we're in the gambling cave this fall?

Speaker 3 I will take that as seriously.

Speaker 1 So you will call him Travis Kells?

Speaker 3 However, it says in the pronunciation guide in the game notes.

Speaker 1 Whoa, that's a little.

Speaker 3 That's the point of it.

Speaker 1 Interesting. So you think that everyone has just gone, like, has read that? You think...
What's... Break it down for me real quick.

Speaker 1 Is the pronunciation in the game notes wrong, or is it that people are saying this is just what his name is? We're going to say it this way.

Speaker 3 I think sometimes the SID or the communications specialist just puts it out there without confirming with the player.

Speaker 1 Ah!

Speaker 1 And it just snowballs from there. Yeah.
So you're calling that person lazy. No.
So there is a patient zero in the Kells Kelsey doot-to-do. Yeah.
We've got to find that guy and have him hung.

Speaker 1 I actually think that this is... It's bullshit.
Something to me smells like there's an ad deal out there.

Speaker 1 I feel like there's an ad deal lingering under the surface. I haven't figured out exactly what it is yet, but you have you have two brothers that are playing the NFL.
Are they going to open a bar?

Speaker 1 Maybe, maybe, yeah. Like Kelse Bells or something like that.

Speaker 1 So they've been in the league for so long, both of them playing at a very high level. All their teammates call them Kelsey.
All of them. Like Patrick Mahomes is like, what's up, bro?

Speaker 1 Your name's Kelsey. Like, he made like public statements.
Tyreek Hill said the same thing, too. Like, you have not told me that this is how you pronounce your name.
I like this.

Speaker 1 There's, I'm just saying, something's happening. I smell either a Kimmel incident or I smell some sort of sponsorship lingering under the surface.
And who created TikTok?

Speaker 1 Chinese. No, Patrick Mahomes' brother.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Connect all the dots. LeBron James.

Speaker 1 All right, Hank. My other one, I don't know if this was PFT's, but if it was, you can take it, JaVale McGee.
Yeah. Yeah.
I love it. He's all the way back.

Speaker 1 Dude, JaVale McGee, he's on the Olympic team now. He is the funniest athlete of all time, I think.

Speaker 1 He might be my favorite NBA player because there will be times when he is the best athlete on the court.

Speaker 1 And then five seconds later, he will look like he has never played the sport of basketball before. And he does something that nobody else in the history of the game has done.

Speaker 1 Like try, like he loot, he'll do a 360 dunk on somebody, and then on that next defensive possession, have the ball hit him in the stomach and get trapped in his pants. He's a great addition.

Speaker 1 He's a great addition to Team USA. He's so.
They needed something like this, and now they have it. There's a chance that they don't meddle.

Speaker 1 I was thinking about it. I think they're actually going to win the gold.
I think they're doing a little rope-a-dope.

Speaker 1 This is a great rope-a-dope if it involves the game. I heard a story.
A little birdie told me that the boys are maybe having some fun in Vegas.

Speaker 1 Okay. So they're maybe

Speaker 1 doing some drinking before games. And that might be why.
They're playing drunk? No, they're just, you know, they were out the night before.

Speaker 1 It's a tune-up. They're not taking this seriously.
Once they take it seriously, they'll beat everyone. That's a dangerous attitude to have.
That's what I heard. It's a global game now, baby.

Speaker 1 That's what I heard.

Speaker 3 I got the Barcelona Sportsbook. Gold medal odds.
USA still a heavy favorite at minus 250. Spain's next at plus 600.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I just, I can't, I won't believe it until I see it. It would be very funny if we didn't meddle.
Yeah, it would.

Speaker 1 It's the U.S. soccer.
U.S. soccer.
Like,

Speaker 1 if we're not going to be good at something,

Speaker 1 be the worst. Be really shitty.
Yeah, be so bad that we can make fun of it.

Speaker 1 Well, that dovetails perfectly because my who's back is U.S. men's soccer.
We won our group stage in the CONCACAF Gold Cuff Tournament of Friends Championship. So that's a trophy.

Speaker 1 So we got another trophy. We beat Canada 1-0.

Speaker 1 I feel like we should be beating Canada by way more than one goal. But you know what? A win's a win.
You know, we parked the bus. Yeah, we did.
We got that early goal.

Speaker 1 We scored in the first 20 seconds of the game, and then nothing happened for the rest of the 90 minutes. My other who's back

Speaker 1 is football guys are back, and Vanderbilt specifically. Their coach, Clark Leia, Clark Lee, I don't know how to pronounce it.
He was a defensive coordinator at Notre Dame.

Speaker 1 He took away every single number from every single player in the program. He said, we're going to earn everything in this program.

Speaker 1 Lee shared when asked why his players don't have numbers on their jerseys.

Speaker 1 Until we understand that we rent those numbers, we don't own them, until we are ready to work within them and leave them better for the next person to wear them.

Speaker 1 That will come, and I'm not going to put a timeline on that. I love it just because Vanderbilt,

Speaker 1 no offense to Vanderbilt, but what I'm going to say is going to be offensive. Their peak in terms of like being a football program is to maybe start

Speaker 1 4-0 against weak opponents and then get really excited for Alabama and lose by 50. Yeah.
That's the best that they're looking for. I was going to say, like,

Speaker 1 being less than a touchdown underdog in an in-conference game is a massive win for Vanderbilt. Yeah, like six and six in the Liberty Bowl.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's an amazing season. Yes.
Yeah, so

Speaker 1 it actually just occurred to me that while they're doing this football guy stunt where they're taking away all the numbers from players in practice, that's probably going to make it quite a bit more difficult for coaches to evaluate how good the players are.

Speaker 1 They'll pop off the tape. Can you imagine watching tape from the scissor lift, looking down? Well, probably not because he's where he came from.

Speaker 1 But watching that film and trying to identify who's who and just not being able to tell who your good players are and just fucking yourself over for an entire year because you gave.

Speaker 1 You know what, though? They're all going to be equally good because you gave them this stunt. They're all going to be trying to earn that number.
Vanderbilt's back.

Speaker 1 All right, my who's back is the Beatles. I was watching Paul McCartney's got a new documentary on Hulu.
I think they also have a new Beatles documentary coming out in like a month.

Speaker 1 And also, who's back is, I didn't realize this until I tweeted that I was watching on Friday night.

Speaker 1 There's, I guess, a large part of, not a large part, but I would say a decent amount of the internet has now just co-opted the take that the Beatles suck. And it blows my mind.

Speaker 1 It was one of the first true times that I was getting mad. I was, I felt like an old guy being like, you guys don't respect anything.

Speaker 1 Because it's like,

Speaker 1 music is subjective. You can say you, you don't like, personally like the Beatles.
You could say you don't listen to the Beatles. All those are acceptable things.

Speaker 1 But saying they just suck is crazy. What do you think is crazier saying the Beatles suck? Would that be like saying Drake sucks, hypothetically?

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, shit.
I didn't mean to walk you into that. No, no, well, because I went through this.
Yes. I went through this myself about a year ago, year and a half ago.

Speaker 1 I realized, like, hey, maybe I just haven't given Drake a shot. But it's just such a try-hard.

Speaker 1 And I listened to it. I was like, not you, dude.
No, I'm saying. No, Beatles.
I get it.

Speaker 1 But I know where maybe that person was because when I saw the person tweet at you, I was like, that is the dumbest thing to say, that the Beatles suck. And objectively,

Speaker 1 you cannot like it. Right.
But the Beatles.

Speaker 1 Music that is occurring right now would not happen if it wasn't for the Beatles. Right.
And yeah, that's actually very similar to what I went through with Drake.

Speaker 1 And if I can change, and you can change, we all can change. I was just shocked.
It turns out, like, popular music is... typically popular for a reason.
Right.

Speaker 1 It was just bizarre because I never even

Speaker 1 thought that that was a thing people were now now running with that like the Beatles fucking suck. I it's just such a weird thing.

Speaker 1 I think it's just looking one guy did it looking for attention, got the attention, and now a bunch of people just do it for that same attention. I think I'm gonna become a music sucks guy.

Speaker 1 You know what? Music is just trash. Again, it's subjective.
You listen to music? Yeah. Try hard.
I'm not. The Beatles are not in my top 10 bands.
They're not in my top 20 bands.

Speaker 1 To say they suck is crazy. It's crazy.
You got a John Lennon impersonation, PFT? No. No, don't.
No. At my back.

Speaker 1 All right. Jake, you got a who's back? Yeah.
Is that too soon?

Speaker 3 The Toronto Blue Jays with the emphasis on Toronto. Oh, they're returning July 30th for the first time since pre-COVID.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 to the city. Yeah.
And the country. Very good for the city.
Vladi's fat ass back. They call it the six PFT.
The six? Oh, I know they call it the six.

Speaker 1 You can get the da-da-dizz up there. It's a good one for that pop, that codeine.
Absolutely. Good one, Jake.
And then, Billy, you got something?

Speaker 1 The PMT bump is back. Yeah.
Not only did Colin Morakawa win, but Christian Yelich hit a home run. And Dave Jouse won.
Yeah. The Mets had,

Speaker 1 I think, a couple ejections in the first inning. He coached the rest of the game.
They had an unbelievable comeback today. Well, so he also went onto the field last Friday, I think, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, he's been on the field a couple times. They've had a couple

Speaker 1 fights. He is the best bench coach in Major League Baseball at stepping in between the manager and the umpire.
Yeah. He's really quick on that.

Speaker 1 And he always knows where the camera is, I think, unintentionally, but his back always goes to the camera. So you can see very clearly this is a Jaft special.

Speaker 1 I also, just speaking really quick of the Mets, our colleague Frank the Tank, if you were ever to get a tweet framed or put one into, what is it,

Speaker 1 what's the library in D.C. that holds everything? That's the Library of Congress.
Library of Congress.

Speaker 1 I think that Frank's tweet about the Mets

Speaker 1 would be the one that he did. I mean, he does 100 a night, but hold on, I got to find...
Oh, I'm so cursed, everything I touch is cursed, but the second cursed, he fucked up, and it's C-U-T-S-E-D.

Speaker 1 So he has typo in the second cursed.

Speaker 1 It's actually like

Speaker 1 it's better than Shakespeare. I'm so cursed, everything I touch is cursed, and he spells that cursed incorrectly.
Yeah, it's that's how cursed he is. Yeah, I was like, that's, it's just, it's special.

Speaker 1 He also said Michael Con O for toe. As in, like, oh for four or whatever it would be, and then, like, two seconds after you tweeted that out, Confordo hit a home run.

Speaker 1 Fleming curse strikes again. All right, uh, I think it's time.
Let's do the Space Jam 2 review. PFT, you have a couple ads before we get to it.

Speaker 1 Before we get to Space Jam, I want to talk to you guys about undies. I love meundies.
Miundies, quite simply put, is the best underwear you will ever wear in your entire life.

Speaker 1 It's something that you wear that you can't see, but it can make or break your day, depending on whether or not you've got a comfortable pair of undies on.

Speaker 1 Underwear is the most important item of clothing that you wear, and me undies are designed to be the softest thing that you've ever worn. Their signature micromodal fabric literally grows from trees.

Speaker 1 Sustainably sourced undies say less. They offer different cuts from different butts, ranging sizes extra small to 4XL.
They got classic colors. They have adventurous prints as well.

Speaker 1 My entire underwear drawer is literally meundies, top to bottom. It's a great feeling.

Speaker 1 Open up the underwear drawer and you don't have to choose between your good underwear and the ones that last until the end of the laundry cycle. The ones that you would rather not have to put on.

Speaker 1 The last-minute underwears, you don't have any more of those. I have nothing but Miyundis in my underwear drawer, and it's the best decision that I've ever made in my life.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Space Jam 2, the review. Not two, not a sequel.
What do you mean? It's a new legacy.

Speaker 1 Oh, it's not even called Space Jam 2? No. Space Jam, a new legacy 2.
Space Jam a new legacy. They didn't make a lot of references to Space Jam 1 in

Speaker 1 Space Jam 2, which I'm just going to call 2. Before we talk about the actual movie, should we talk about Billy's performance? Yeah, I think we should.

Speaker 1 Also, yeah, we'll do that, and then we'll get into spoilers. So you can still listen to this if you haven't seen the movie and you're planning on going to see it.

Speaker 1 Everyone in the movie dies. Yeah.
And then Tony kills Christopher. Oh, I had people get really mad at me about that.
Well, you're on the Jersey Shore. I'm sure they would.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So it gets disrespectful. Good.

Speaker 1 Billy. Billy.

Speaker 1 Billy. His assignment.
Let's be fair. We gave him an assignment.
We did give him an assignment. He brought in

Speaker 1 six people's worth, five people's worth, because he forgot Jake's orders of Chipotle into the movie theater in his pants.

Speaker 1 And the best part was he did this while Hank and PFT walked into the movie theater with backpacks on.

Speaker 1 And it was, I don't think he realized it until afterwards. Like, you didn't need to do that.
He loaded up his cargo pants. It was a great performance by you.
We ate burritos inside the movie theater.

Speaker 1 Well, also, Big Cat, let's set the stage outside when he was loading up his pants with the Chipotle.

Speaker 1 He was doing so directly in front of the giant window that was right in front of the ticket taker so they could see Billy sneaking all this stuff.

Speaker 1 He was just putting burritos into his pants, full burritos, one after the other. And then there was a guy that was standing outside in line who was just staring at Billy, mouth wide open, saying,

Speaker 1 that guy's a genius. And I think my exact quote was, please don't encourage him more.

Speaker 1 Because, again, PFT and Hank had huge backpacks that they walked in with, and no one said anything. Also, let's just put yourself in that guy's mindset.

Speaker 1 Like, he sees somebody putting burritos into their pants, and he's like, That's fucking brilliant. I never thought pants were burritos.

Speaker 1 Great job, Billy. Also, I think what made it look even better was the outfit that Billy was rocking.
So, he's got the camouflage. The four Ravens, yeah.
Yeah, the camouflage cargo shorts.

Speaker 1 You had a wolf sweater. Oh, no, no, no, no.
Those are pants. Oh, cargo pants.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. Wait, no, no, do they unzip? Do they unzip? No.
Are they convertible?

Speaker 1 You don't see cargo pants often these days. He's got the thong sandals on, too.
Yeah, this is great work. Pants and sandals is a wild combination.
Billy does it all the time.

Speaker 1 It's so easy.

Speaker 1 Like, what? I hate putting on socks.

Speaker 1 But you put on the pants. Well, I had to get the cargo.
Yeah, that's true. That's true.
At least you're not wearing those weird toe shoes to get the cargo.

Speaker 1 I'm very disappointed on the state of movie theater security nowadays. Yeah, there's like four people working these days.

Speaker 1 I think any business they can get. Yeah, exactly.
In high school. Times have changed.

Speaker 1 It was nice going back to a movie theater. I think it had been, what, two years all of us have been there.

Speaker 1 I think all of our last movies was 1917. Yeah.
Yeah, 1917 or Knives Out. I couldn't remember.
But I don't know which one came after. 1917 came after? I don't know.

Speaker 1 It was, though, nice. It was a reminder, like, still got it.
You know, like when you shoot a shot or you, like, run a mile and you're like, ooh, I still got it.

Speaker 1 I finished every single one of my snacks, including a burrito, before the movie started. And I sat back and I was like, yup, still got it.
Because there's, I mean, who doesn't do that?

Speaker 1 Where you get the large popcorn, a candy, and maybe another candy, and you sit there for the first 20 minutes and you just go to town. And then the movie starts.

Speaker 1 You're like, well, I'm all out of snacks. It was very, you did not feel secure walking in a movie theater with backpacks.

Speaker 1 Nobody even bothered to look inside your backpack at all so we get up there we start eating our snacks uh we watch the movie after the movie's over everybody leaves i notice that billy is rummaging through his seat and i can't figure out why he's getting like his flashlight uh uh app out and really shining it underneath the seat trying to move the cushions around he had lost his wallet in the seat and the search for the wallet went on so long that it had emptied out entirely the employees were walking into the movie theater to clean things out they saw billy had moved because it was one of the big chairs yeah yeah, they were clinical chairs.

Speaker 1 Billy had pushed it out of the aisle and was crawling underneath it. They're like, sir, sir, are you okay? Sir, can we help you? Let's do a little remodeling over here.

Speaker 1 And so then two people had to come help Billy look for his phone inside of his chair, or excuse me, his wallet inside of his chair. And Billy, what happened? Where was your wallet?

Speaker 1 It was at the front desk. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it wasn't there at all. That's good performance.
I think you need to bring back chain wallets, Billy. Yeah, I think I will start wearing a chain.
Yes.

Speaker 1 All right, so the movie itself, how should we do this? Because

Speaker 1 I don't know where we have not said a word to each other about the movie since we walked out of the movie. Can I come clean with a confession? Well, I have one too.
Want to say at the same time? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Three, two, one. I can't do that.
I need to fall asleep for like.

Speaker 1 You did? I was dozing. I was trying so hard, and then it was one of those things where the harder you try, like, I dozed off.

Speaker 1 I missed probably like the, I I woke up at halftime when Michael Jordan came in. Michael B.
Jordan. And I think

Speaker 1 I missed the first half of the game. I got God on that.
I was like, holy shit, this movie's awesome. MJ's in it.
You thought that MJ was coming? I don't know. I saw that coming a mile away.

Speaker 1 Dude, I was like, this is incredible.

Speaker 1 Well, because I also like, I wanted, it was actually a great, it was a great psychological test on everyone, because if you're an MJ fan, you're like rooting it for it to actually be Michael Jordan.

Speaker 1 So then you can be like, oh, LeBron needed Michael Jordan in this movie. That's why LeBron would never do it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it would have been great, though, if MJ had come in and LeBron got benched for the second half. Yes,

Speaker 1 all right, so I actually

Speaker 1 hate to say it, I didn't hate it. I kind of liked it.
That was what my confession was. What? Okay, so I think that part of the reason why I didn't hate it is my dad's brain.

Speaker 1 Like, I now, I think my brain has been warped from watching cartoons all day where, like, I can watch a cartoon now and be like, I can see how this is funny to a kid. So, that's part of it.

Speaker 1 And then at the end of it, it's like, it's a father-son story. So, it made me got me a little sappy.
It wasn't great, but I didn't, I didn't hate it. It was good.

Speaker 1 I can turn my brain off and watch this. And I'm like, oh, they're the cartoons that I recognize.
And the Looney Tunes are funny. I love it.
They're fucking funny.

Speaker 1 Looney tunes are objectively hilarious. When they do their Looney Tune shit,

Speaker 1 it's always funny. That was the best part.
When like Bugs Bunny is just whipping out a piano from behind his back and playing it, that's awesome.

Speaker 1 When Wiley Coyote is running into a wall, I will watch that every time and laugh at it. I have a couple of big bones to pick with LeBron James, though.
Oh, he's a terrible actor. Number one, horrible.

Speaker 1 He fucking killed Bugs Bunny. Okay.

Speaker 1 Bugs Bunny is dead. Wait.
At the end, that was not, but Bugs Bunny is not alive.

Speaker 1 That was a hallucination on LeBron James' part because he was drinking too much wine before he dropped his son off at nerd school. That was not the real Bugs Bunny.
He fucking killed Bugs Bunny.

Speaker 1 Bugs Bunny sacrificed his

Speaker 1 fucking killed Bugs Bunny. No, well,

Speaker 1 but LeBron let it happen. Yes, that's like the leader of the team.
Yes, thank you, Hank.

Speaker 1 It's the exact same situation. It's him passing the lunch

Speaker 1 from the end of Tale of Two Cities, where that guy switches his body with Charles Darnay and gets executed for him to be the hero.

Speaker 1 That's what Bugs did, and LeBron James signed off on the script. He fucking murdered Bugs Bunny.

Speaker 1 I was more mad that I think it's just lame whenever a movie does like we killed this guy and then he's not dead. Yes.
That fucking drives me. Stranger Things.
So that was stupid. That was stupid.

Speaker 1 Yes, Stranger Things. Exactly.
You know what I actually think went into this script?

Speaker 1 I think that LeBron James might have a nerd son.

Speaker 1 And I think that

Speaker 1 LeBron James's entire reason for making

Speaker 1 Space Jam 2 a new legacy

Speaker 1 was to show his son that he loves him, even though his son doesn't want to be a basketball superstar. Yes, if you've watched any of LeBron's videos and Instagram, I have not.

Speaker 1 Rice Maximus, his middle child.

Speaker 1 Like, if you watch that movie, you're like, fuck, that kind of sucks.

Speaker 1 You just don't think I'll ever be good at basketball. He is good at basketball, though.
But he's not as good as Bronny Jr. He's a tank.
The videos I've seen, he's kind of a beast. I was surprised.

Speaker 1 He's like Kendrick Perkins.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he wears the glasses and he is smaller because he's a little brother. But then in his grade versus kids his size, he's a beast.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but that movie, if you watch that movie, if you're him, you're like, wait, dad, do you not think I'm good at basketball? Okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 I had no idea about the the family dynamic, but I think it's a direct message.

Speaker 1 He decided most dads will be like, hey, son, I want you to do what you love, and I'll support you in whatever endeavors you want.

Speaker 1 LeBron James is like, I'm going to make a multi-hundred million-dollar full-length feature, Space Jam 2. Yeah, and the plot will center around my love for my hypothetical nerd son.
Yes, yes, yeah.

Speaker 1 No, he's

Speaker 1 that's a tough watch for Bryce. He definitely is gonna, that's gonna hurt his ego in terms of what his future future ego or past

Speaker 1 pride um

Speaker 1 the Don Cheadle character I think I finally understand how NFTs work because like he was just doing he was making NFTs in that computer right uh algorithm yeah al G rhythm algae rhythm that guy algor

Speaker 1 wait

Speaker 1 Al G rhythm his name was Al Rhythm yeah and the initial was G right got it okay yeah NFTs algorithms as far as I know like Don Cheadle's character is just he was God right yes he was he was Morgan Freeman in in whatever that movie is.

Speaker 1 Bruce Almighty. Yep.
He was God,

Speaker 1 but then he got beat at the game that he controlled. Yeah.
He's a terrible guy. And LeBron tried to go at Don Cheadle's character, and Don Cheadle, I wrote down this line of dialogue.

Speaker 1 He said, I'm the king of this domain. I'm not your coach.
Kind of a subtle dig that LeBron is uncoachable because he just berates all of his coaches.

Speaker 1 He had some good digs at him. Who? Cheadle.
Yeah, I know. LeBron.
LeBron's a bad thing. That part was pretty well written.
He's not a good actor, right? Where Don Cheadle was like,

Speaker 1 yeah, wait, your dad left again? Kind of his MO, like he did in Cleveland, Miami, Cleveland again. Yep.

Speaker 1 And when he was like, we lost to the greatest of all time, he's like, the jury's still out on that.

Speaker 1 Who do you think

Speaker 1 was the MVP of the Toon Squad? Because I noticed right when the momentum changed. Granny.
That was when I was.

Speaker 1 No, I was going to say that third quarter, because they come back in the third quarter. I thought Granny was a superstar.

Speaker 1 Wiley coyote's move of duplicating the basketballs to cut the lead he cut the lead from like a thousand and thirty

Speaker 1 to three hundred to a thousand and thirty to a thousand he that was that third quarter was a monster quarter i wiley coyote probably put up i don't know what the fuck he that must have been he must have put up 700 points in that time i think those are assists though because i think Roadrunner scored the basket because Roadrunner brought the ball

Speaker 1 no Roadrunner was with the feed yeah Roadrunner was assisting with the feed but that's Wiley Coyote's machine.

Speaker 1 And he was also scoring himself. Remember, he put the feed on top of the button? Yeah.
So then he hit the button, and then the basketballs went shooting out. There were a couple things.

Speaker 1 That multiplier was genius. I love that machine.
I thought it was the second coolest machine that was in the entire movie. The coolest was just the normal ball feeder that LeBron James had.

Speaker 1 on his court at his house where he just said ball and a ball would come out to him. I want that.
Yes. I want that so bad.
Yes.

Speaker 1 But it was, I mean, the Tooton Squad, he needed to be bailed out by the Tooton Squad. They put together an incredible second half, third quarter especially.
Like, that was...

Speaker 1 LeBron needed every little bit of help. He needed...
That was...

Speaker 1 My greater point is like Kyrie Irving, 2016 finals, Wiley Coyote, this game. I would also like to say that they should never make cartoons 3D ever.
Yeah, ever. Agreed, it's weird.

Speaker 1 And I think they even did probably a better job in this than most movies do when they try to do it. Like, remember when The Simpsons went 3D, how fucking bizarre that was? Yep.

Speaker 1 It's never going to look good. It's never going to look good.
Yeah, it's like. It's like they're trying to make

Speaker 1 cartoon pictures

Speaker 1 gross. Yes, you don't add that extra dimension to it.
You just don't do it. Some things.
It's like going from 4K cameras to the 8Ks on the fans.

Speaker 1 Sometimes things are just better the less you see of them. And cartoons are one of those things.
All right, so I kind of liked it. I could see why kids would like it.
It's a kids' movie.

Speaker 1 I will pick apart a couple other things, though.

Speaker 1 Does LeBron just not care about concussions anymore? Because I counted, he got concussed like 15 times. Yeah, on one play.

Speaker 1 Well, that play, and then he also got concussed when he ran into force field. He was absolutely concussed then.
So he got concussed.

Speaker 1 He also got concussed a bunch of times when he was hanging out with Bugs Bunny. I just, that's a bad message to send.

Speaker 1 He, I counted at least 15 concussions that LeBron had, and not one person checked it out.

Speaker 1 I think that in the instance where he got hit in the head like multiple times by the balls right in a row, right in a row, he's probably making the argument that he probably was seeing seven rims after that and was aiming for the middle one.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 1 Notorious PIG was awesome. The rapids.
Just the Toon Squad.

Speaker 1 I think that's really what it ended up being is like, the movie, LeBron as an actor was not great.

Speaker 1 The movie was silly, but anything that the Looney Tunes does is fucking hilarious, and I just, I love them.

Speaker 1 You don't see them very often because you're not, we're adults, but when you do see them, you're like, man, they're fucking funny no matter what age you are.

Speaker 1 I think that it might even be underappreciated by

Speaker 1 the kids these days, or even kids that are Billy and Jake's age, because you guys had SpongeBob as your go-to cartoon. That's what Looney Tunes was like for us.

Speaker 1 I think we need to reintroduce the kids to old school Looney Tunes stuff because I think it holds up. I think they should do a Looney Tunes jackass.
crossover. Like Looney Tunes does jackass.

Speaker 1 Because I could see them getting into these kind of hijinks all the time. I love Looney Tunes.
I simply

Speaker 1 do. I used to watch hours and hours.
I forgot how much they rule. The second that I saw Bugs Bunny on the TV or on the movie screen, I just immediately felt like a nice wave coming over me.

Speaker 1 Like, oh, yeah, I remember when I was nine. Yeah,

Speaker 1 when he did the classic draw a tunnel in the side of a mountain, I was like, yep, that always plays. I will always fall for that trick.

Speaker 1 I think that Wet Fire is one of those nicknames that is wasted on a sub-average player. Wait, who? You think Clay Thompson is a sub-average? No, I think in that game.
Oh, got it. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Wet Fire was not. He was neither.
He was very wet. He was never fire.
Right. He was too wet.
Right. So, like,

Speaker 1 they put him in a fucking bucket. Yeah.
He got absorbed by the giant red hairy guy like a mop. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You can't.

Speaker 1 It's like Darantula being wasted. Yes.
It's a sweet-ass nickname, and I feel like it was wasted on a terrible player in this game. The dame dame time was the best.
Yep.

Speaker 1 Why did they just make it dame time all the time? Yeah. They should have.

Speaker 1 Diana Taurasi, I felt like that was a little misogynistic. They're like, oh, if you're a girl boss, you also are a snake.
Yeah. That doesn't make sense to me.

Speaker 1 Well, the girl boss thing was, yeah, that was definitely implied. They also didn't really do any favor.
They made it.

Speaker 1 Usually, if you're making a celebrity into a cartoon, you make them more attractive. Right.
They made her less attractive. Right.
And Rich Paul's character. Lola.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What about her?

Speaker 1 She was an all-star. She was great.
She was insane.

Speaker 1 Rich Paul's character,

Speaker 1 that sucks for him.

Speaker 1 He was a bitch. Yeah.
He's dating Adele now, though. Yeah.
Is that really that much of a come-up? Yeah. Because, like, Adele was, I think she was fucking Chet Hanks not too long ago, right?

Speaker 1 Chet Hanks is awesome.

Speaker 1 What is she talking about? That's a downgrade. I know.

Speaker 1 I know. I know.
Because if you're Rich Paul, you got to be like, damn, this guy, this amazing human being, like, she's definitely going to go back to chet at some point.

Speaker 1 She's missed that chet dick. It's true.

Speaker 1 They probably just broke up for White Boy Summer. Once you leave Chet, you never get wet.

Speaker 1 Don Cheeto, by the way, he's the NSA.

Speaker 1 Wait, is he the NSA or is he an NFT? I know, well, though, he creates NFTs. I think he is an NFT.
He is an NFT, but he also is the NSA when he had that thing where he's like,

Speaker 1 if you have a camera on your phone or computer, I'm watching.

Speaker 1 I was like, oh, that's cool. That was one of those things that if Sony had tried to put this out like three years ago, North Korea would have shut it.
Yeah, it was, that was scary. I saw that.

Speaker 1 LeBron, you're watching this.

Speaker 1 What's up with Don Cheeto's little sidekick, the little clippy character that he had? I kind of like that. What was Pat supposed to be? I don't know.

Speaker 1 I think, like, he looked like just a floating monitor. Computer mouse, yeah.
Something. You guys, Billy, what did you think, Jake? What do you guys think of the movie? I loved it.
Okay, there we go.

Speaker 1 It was kind of, I did miss. There was no like Monstars and some of the the stuff from the first movie, but it was like pretty cool in its own way.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, they did do it was this it was the first movie, just

Speaker 1 you know, they changed it to today's day. They threw in all their old franchises just to get a little

Speaker 1 boost.

Speaker 3 Yeah, got a little Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, yeah, nostalgia.

Speaker 1 Yeah, didn't expect that. LeBron making himself a Hufflepuff move is such a Ravenclaw move on his part.
Like, he's not a Hufflepuff. Yeah.
He's not. He's just simply.
He's a Slytherin.

Speaker 1 He's a. Wait, what did I say? Ravenclaw? Yeah.
You think he's Slytherin? Yeah. I don't know.
I think he's Ravenclaw.

Speaker 1 Embrace the World. What was the line in the movie? Nerd Much?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Nerd Alert. Nerd Alert.

Speaker 1 I also want to say that I don't think that any of the actual cartoons' voices are the original voices of the Looney Tunes. Well, they're probably all dead.
They're probably all dead, right?

Speaker 1 I don't think Mel Blanc is kicking anymore. But, like, you can hear it occasionally.

Speaker 1 The best Bugs Bunny impression is still not Bugs Bunny. Right.
Especially after LeBron James killed him. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I can't believe they brought him back.

Speaker 1 Taz is the best. I fucking love Taz.
Wild card to the max. You just never know what you're going to get for him.
He's just going to take the game and flip it upside down. Spins it, spins it around.

Speaker 1 I like the Martian. The Martian really is the scene here of the whole thing.
He was a scene stealer. He was

Speaker 1 a comedic relief. Yeah.
Showing up just because of the flag. See, that's what I'm saying.
Like, that stuff. Looney Tunes is so funny.
It really is.

Speaker 1 Bugs Bunny planning Earth and then Marvin the Martian showing up the next

Speaker 1 movie would have been way better without LeBron James. Oh, absolutely.
I just know LeBron. I think LeBron made a great movie, actually, besides all of the scenes that he was in.
Right, right.

Speaker 1 Good job, LeBron. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's exactly. That's probably the best way to review the whole thing.
Outside of LeBron, this movie was a 10 out of 10. Yep.
And that's not us hating because, you know what?

Speaker 1 LeBron was in the movie, so we're judging it in its totality. I'm going to say it's a decent watch.
Yeah, it's not a great piece of cinema. But, well, it's for kids.
It's for kids. It's for kids.

Speaker 1 We're not the intended audience. And people will be like, well, the original Space Jam was.
No, the original Space Jam was up there with, you know, The Godfather, Citizen King,

Speaker 1 all those movies. What was the original? The movie buffs movies.
Yeah, I think that the original one also had a stronger supporting cast of human actors

Speaker 1 than this one did. Maybe LeBron James doesn't get along that well with his teammates.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 But there was definitely a time when they were first starting to assemble the Toon Squad, and they were getting all the shitty cartoons that couldn't, they were all goofy.

Speaker 1 And I was just thinking to myself, when this was being written, this was when LeBron James was dealing with his shittiest teammates on the Lakers. And this is absolutely how he felt.
Yes.

Speaker 1 And this, like, that guy right there. That's Kyle Kuzma.
Yeah, that could be Swaggy P. Yeah.
I don't know if they actually played together, but I don't know.

Speaker 1 Anything else from the movie? It was good to go to a movie theater. It really was.
Wasn't Chris Paul supposed to be involved with the secret stuff bottle? Like, remember, he was drinking.

Speaker 1 I think that was like LeBron called him up, was like, hey, Chris, I'll publicly tweet about you twice during this series. Tell everybody that I'm rooting for you.

Speaker 1 If you can drink Chris's secret stuff on the sidelines, remind people I'm in Space Champ 2. You think he was supposed to do that if he had made it farther in the finals? Yes, LeBron.

Speaker 1 He definitely would have been drinking this series. Absolutely.
But it actually would have been steroids.

Speaker 1 So, just like it would have been one of those you can't he can't you can't uh give him a penalty for drinking steroids if he says it's steroids it would have been funny if when lebron james was in human form he had done or it was in cartoon form he had like they put the jersey on him and he had done the thing before the game where he was stretching out his pants except there was nothing underneath yes you know when he was getting ready on his dick like yogi bear just completely flat.

Speaker 1 All right, anything else? Billy, you got a recap? Anything? Yep.

Speaker 1 Oh, also, only the classic LeBron. I love how you suck for half the movie.
Classic. That's actually,

Speaker 1 you get King LeBron hater. Like, you've just, you've taken over for me.
Like, you did it. Classic LeBron just

Speaker 1 come up clutch in the end of the

Speaker 1 fifth grade game. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Also, scary to have Avon Barkstale as your cash. That came out of nowhere.

Speaker 1 The move when Avon Barkstale is like, you got to choose basketball or video games. That was like, oh, okay, well, so, yeah, I chose video games like every other kid.

Speaker 1 had made if you had made the decision though at that point that you were gonna play basketball you'd be just LeBron that's true

Speaker 1 I like how in the very emotional scene when LeBron just stops the game and just hugs his child on the court and like explains to him like hey I'm sorry for being a bad dad I like how that the entire message of that scene was the real life LeBron James If he's ever a bad dad, he's only a bad dad because when he was younger,

Speaker 1 he had to be so focused and so excellent as a child so that he could end up giving his children enough free range to make choices that he would be, therefore, able to be mad at. Yes.

Speaker 1 So he's like, it's because I worked so hard that you're able to do all this cool stuff that sometimes I don't know how to handle you being able to do cool stuff. So that's on me.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 He also wanted to get himself deleted from his son's video game forever.

Speaker 1 True. Good point.
And he wrote his oldest son as an idiot. Like, Bronny Jr.
was a, was, was a bimbo. He was a mimbo in that movie.
I thought he gave, like, he got good, good, good shout-out.

Speaker 1 No, he was like, he got hit by the ball twice at the beginning. Remember that? But that was just because he was that was meant to knock him down a peg when he was talking shit about the nerd song.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but he was like, oh, he probably never cracked a book. That was kind of what was implied on that.
It kind of made it seem like Bronny's, like, he's the athletic and funny one. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, Billy, recap.

Speaker 1 So, about

Speaker 1 w F one, right? What is this push-push thing? Like, what is oh, they just say it in the in the ears to like in the driver's ear when he's they're saying like you can pass the guy in front of you.

Speaker 1 So they say push-push. Oh, word, word, push.
And then that uh quote about Kelsey was actually from Buzzin' with the boys. Oh.
Yeah, so that's where that came from.

Speaker 1 And that's actually pretty wild because like I've seen Jake like look up everyone's name. Like the fact that they have and there's like YouTube channels like to four principles and names.

Speaker 1 The fact that this has gone so far

Speaker 1 would go to PFT's point. And also,

Speaker 1 speaking of Vanderbilt football, you know who is probably the most famous Vanderbilt football player? Sarah Thomas. Aaron Rodgers' brother.
Well, Jay Cutler was pretty good there for a while.

Speaker 1 True, but recently. You didn't know Jay Cutler went there? Pretty recent.
I was like, what? When did you get there? You didn't know that Jay Cutler went there? 2006? Got traffic.

Speaker 1 Didn't Satan go to Georgia, Aaron Murray? No, yeah, Aaron Murray went to Georgia, but you're thinking of Aaron Rodgers'

Speaker 1 brother, Jordan Rodgers. But yes, it would definitely be Jay Cutler.
Perfect. And also, we

Speaker 1 were watching. Perfect.

Speaker 1 I was

Speaker 1 perfect.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but like, that's a good idea. But Jay was on the show like a month ago.
I know, but I forget.

Speaker 1 By far the most famous. I remember him Bears.
I think he was asking about you, actually. Yeah, he was.

Speaker 1 Anyway,

Speaker 1 we had Boomerang growing up. So we did watch all the Looney Tunes.

Speaker 1 Wait, wait, wait. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Boomerang was like... I remember that app, yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, yeah. So, like, also on the planes and stuff, they'd only play Looney Tunes.
Like, yeah. We need a new.

Speaker 1 I'd be down for more Looney Tunes. How about this? How about one night on Grit Week, we get really stoned and watch Looney Tunes? Looney Tunes.

Speaker 1 We make Looney Tunes memes like we did with SpongeBob that one time. Also, how do we not give Bugs Bunny MVP?

Speaker 1 Again, I think it was Wiley Coyote. That's who I vote for.
No, I changed the outcome of that game. I think that it was a legacy situation for Bugs.
He literally killed himself. He was like,

Speaker 1 I'm going to have to kill myself

Speaker 1 in order to protect LeBron James' ego. That was so sad.

Speaker 1 And all he wanted was his friends to be around. That's right.
And then he wins the game, and all his friends get to come back, but he doesn't.

Speaker 1 There's actually some Christ-like tendencies with that story of Bugs Bunny that I think need to be explored.

Speaker 1 Yeah, do you think it's just an allegory for the Bible? Well, it could be Christ, or like I said earlier, it could be like the Charles Darnay Tale of Two Cities ending.

Speaker 1 Is that it? Yep. All right.
Grizzly bears are as fast as racehorses. Whoa.

Speaker 1 99. They should let them fucking get away.
185. 69.
99. 8.

Speaker 1 18. Bang.
Damn, Jake. Jake just gave us some money.
Is that your first one? Second. Wait.
Second. Oh, no.
Billy. No, wait.
Billy continued whenever Jake equals him is so funny.

Speaker 1 But didn't you have 18 before

Speaker 1 last time? And now Billy's doing an extra stopping where he's like, this is not fair.

Speaker 1 This is not right. He's guessing.
You can't have two and a half.

Speaker 1 No, no, I'm not. I'm not.
I've won on 69 twice and you've won on 18 twice. Yeah.
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's what we're saying. Good recovery.
Perfect. Good recovery.
Perfect. Way to go, Billy.
I'm actually excited. Billy is pumped that whole time.
I'm so happy for you. Love you guys.

Speaker 1 Today's not a day to find you.

Speaker 1 Shy it away.

Speaker 1 I'm often coming for your love, okay.

Speaker 1 Shy it away.

Speaker 1 I'm often coming for your love, okay.

Speaker 1 Take

Speaker 1 on

Speaker 1 me,

Speaker 1 take

Speaker 1 me.

Speaker 1 on

Speaker 1 I'll keep

Speaker 1 on

Speaker 1 changeless to say

Speaker 1 I'm all set in

Speaker 1 but I'll be stooling away

Speaker 1 Say up to me,

Speaker 1 it's no better to be saved than sorry.

Speaker 1 Say up to me,

Speaker 1 it's no better to be saved than sorry.

Speaker 1 Take

Speaker 1 on

Speaker 1 me,

Speaker 1 say

Speaker 1 me.

Speaker 1 I'll keep

Speaker 1 putting

Speaker 1 it in.
