Speaker 1 On today's part of my take, we have Christian Horner. You're probably saying who? Or you're saying, actually, that's awesome because you've watched the Netflix series Drive to Survive.
Speaker 1 He is the team principal of Team Red Bull.
Speaker 3 They're like the best NASCAR team in the world, right?
Speaker 1
Yeah, F1 Racing, Monaco this weekend. Awesome interview.
One of those interviews where he started and he was like, who the fuck are these guys? And by the end, I think we were best friends.
Speaker 1
So, very interesting. We're getting into new sports.
We're going to talk a little about NBA playoffs, LeBron seeing triple.
Speaker 1 NHL playoffs are back.
Speaker 1 Well, I keep saying back, but they've been here.
Speaker 3 Well, no, now they're officially back because the regular season is now over.
Speaker 1
Oh, yeah, that's true. Good point.
Good point. Tim Tebow's fat ass
Speaker 1
and Fire Fest of the week. We're going to do it all.
Before we do that, a quick word from our friends.
Speaker 4 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 3 At participating, McDonald's.
Speaker 3 Now in the street, there is violence.
Speaker 3 And I'm not loud to solve the problem.
Speaker 3 No place to hang out or washing.
Speaker 3 And I'm not getting to blame all of the sun.
Speaker 3 And then we'll take it higher.
Speaker 3 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Elite Trick Avenue.
Speaker 1 It's part of my take presented
Speaker 1 Barstool Sports.
Speaker 1 Welcome to Part of My Take presented by New Amsterdam Vodka, the official vodka of Barstool Sports. Today is Friday, May 21st.
Speaker 1 And
Speaker 1 go team. You know?
Speaker 3 I actually don't think that the name of this podcast is part of my take anymore.
Speaker 1 Oh, no.
Speaker 3 It's not. It's Martian My Jake.
Speaker 1
Oh, no. It is.
It is your guys's. Jake Marsh.
Speaker 5
I joined two years ago. You guys started this in 2016.
I'm just a role player.
Speaker 1 No, it's just your podcast. What we've seen.
Speaker 5 I'm helping on the side.
Speaker 3 Thank you for giving us permission to have it still be our podcast out.
Speaker 1 Thank you, sir.
Speaker 3 It's a torch update with a podcast, and Jake is the alpha, and he just kind of cemented it. Well, I mean, we can go back and
Speaker 3 start with what happened today.
Speaker 1 Yeah, so for people who didn't see stool streams,
Speaker 1
Hank has created Frankenstein. He's created, well, I think it's Dr.
He is Dr. Frankenstein.
Speaker 3 Is that correct? Yeah, and Frankenstein was the monster. The The monster.
Speaker 1
He's created a monster. So he created stool streams.
It's fantastic. It's great.
You see people in the office competing. You can win money on the Play Barstool app.
No big deal.
Speaker 1
But unfortunately, it's gotten away from him because he keeps playing Jake Marsh in ping pong. And Jake Marsh is the most accidental alpha I have ever seen in my entire life.
Today he did a Ty Lou
Speaker 1 Allen Iverson step over of
Speaker 1 Hank
Speaker 1 trying to help him up like he was injured or something.
Speaker 3
That's what makes Jake the true alpha is because none of this is intentional. It's all natural to him.
Like,
Speaker 1 lions don't.
Speaker 3 Lions don't watch an antelope run across the prairie and think to themselves, I have to prove that I'm a lion, so I'm going to go kill it and eat its butthole.
Speaker 3 They just do it because it's part of their nature.
Speaker 1 Well, Jake, in this analogy, Jake is a lion. He eats the antelope, and then he says to the antelope, good chase.
Speaker 3 Yeah, he's like, sorry.
Speaker 1 Good chase, dude.
Speaker 1 As I eat your heart out.
Speaker 3
He's choking it out. He's like, I really hate to do this.
Yeah, this is just a really good race that we had.
Speaker 1
Yeah, I didn't mean to catch you like that and rip you to shreds. You're really good.
You're really fast.
Speaker 1 Yeah, if I wasn't going to eat your heart out right now, I would expect you to totally be getting up from this and running away. This would be
Speaker 1 what do you, what? What? I mean,
Speaker 1 you won't say it's spend too much time on it, but Hank, what is
Speaker 1 are you okay?
Speaker 3 Hank's down bad, down real bad.
Speaker 1 Are you okay? I'm, I'm,
Speaker 1 I don't know. Okay.
Speaker 1 Yeah, I, I,
Speaker 1 the first one was bad, but it also, I think, Hank in his head was like, this is great for stool streams. That's just Jake's undercover psycho we never knew.
Speaker 1
And he was able to compartmentalize and move on. This one feels really bad because it's the second one.
And again,
Speaker 1 the step over of another man's dead body.
Speaker 3
And it's also the fact that it's a visual. It's not a video that you have to watch.
It's just just a picture. The picture's worse because you can Photoshop a picture.
Speaker 1 Correct.
Speaker 1 Well, no, this is the perfect picture. It doesn't need any photoshop.
Speaker 3 I saw He Who Shall Not Be Named made a pretty good Photoshop out of it.
Speaker 1 He added in P.
Speaker 3 Oh, no.
Speaker 1 Little golden shot. So you're not seeing it.
Speaker 5 Seeing in that picture.
Speaker 1 He's doing.
Speaker 1 Yeah, he's peeing. Billy's photoshopping.
Speaker 1 Oh, my God. From the fucking
Speaker 1 Billy stopped drinking for one second, woke up from his drunken May, and was like, oh, shit, I got to make this picture even worse for him.
Speaker 3 What's crazy is that Jake has effortlessly accomplished everything that Billy had set out to do, which is become the new alpha of the show and take all of her jobs.
Speaker 3 Jake didn't even try to do it, and he's accomplished it.
Speaker 1 Are you?
Speaker 1 I'm sorry,
Speaker 1 I'm legitimately scared of Jake.
Speaker 6
Well, here's what I'll say: the funny thing is that I'm going to say is that in the first one, I think it was just a genuine outburst of emotion. Yes.
Wasn't really at me. It was just to the world.
Speaker 6
I'm the best in the office. I'm the best one here.
Just tell me.
Speaker 1 True, yes. All right, Jake.
Speaker 6 And this one,
Speaker 6
I fell to the ground. I had played two matches.
People aren't talking about that. I had to play two matches, fell to the ground, and exhausted.
Speaker 1 Scheduled a match with PSD.
Speaker 1
We're on the same round. I'm telling you, we're not okay.
We're not okay.
Speaker 6 We are not okay.
Speaker 6 You don't need to scream.
Speaker 6
I fell to the ground. I was exhausted.
Yes. Catching my breath.
Jake came over, shook my hand, which was whatever.
Speaker 6 Walked away, then was talking to the cameras, had this little smile on his face as he's walking back, does the Jordan shrug, and then steps over me.
Speaker 1 So it's, you know. no, actually,
Speaker 1
I'm going to throw a flag. He did the Allen Iverson step over, then the Jordan shrug.
Absolutely not. Celebrate
Speaker 1 the truth to this story, please.
Speaker 3 Okay, well, real quick, I do want to say, Hank, in Jake's defense, there was a blog that just went up on the website, and the headline is great. Jake wrote this.
Speaker 3 The headline of this blog is, Sportsmanship, not disrespect.
Speaker 3 The real story of what happened after playing table tennis with Hank, in which he included all the necessary pictures and clips again explaining.
Speaker 1
Accidental alpha and featured it, mind you. He featured it.
So accidental alpha. I have no access to feature.
Accental alpha. Okay.
Let me explain.
Speaker 1 Yes. Go ahead.
Speaker 5 What you don't see in the picture, because it's cut off, is me offering my arm out.
Speaker 1
Yeah, I think that's worse. I think that's worse.
I was trying to have a bad thing. To pick him up off the ground.
I mean, he wasn't dead. I wasn't trying to be a good man.
And you're not teammates.
Speaker 1 People who know me know that I think it'd be possible to get a lot of people.
Speaker 6 You don't see people after the game finals, the Stanley Cup. Like, you don't see teams picking players up.
Speaker 1 That's the biggest ritual in the hockey playoffs. Handshake line.
Speaker 6 No, but like I'm saying, like, Adam Morrison, like, you didn't see UCLA players coming over to Adam Morrison, like, picking him up off the ground.
Speaker 1
Well, when they shook hands afterwards, they definitely did. We shook hands, Jake.
We did that.
Speaker 7 We had already shaken hands.
Speaker 3 I had to help you out, Hank.
Speaker 1 All right, well, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's just.
Speaker 1 We have sports we've got to talk about.
Speaker 3 I do appreciate, though, that Jake included the scores of the 21-9 match and the 21-14 match in the recap. I had forgotten the score.
Speaker 1 Also,
Speaker 3 it was the most obvious thing in the world that Jake was going to make a B-line over to Hank to shake his hand twice.
Speaker 1 No, I mean,
Speaker 1
God forbid I show double sportsman. I show double sportsmanship.
Who does? Wouldn't that cancel out your sportsmanship? No, it doubles it down.
Speaker 1 Double sportsman. Okay, I like it.
Speaker 5 Jokes aside, people know who's not.
Speaker 1
No one's joking. No, no, no.
We have not joked once. We're yet to tell a joke on this episode.
Speaker 1 So I'm a good person.
Speaker 3 I went to thehealthy.com and I looked up how to fix a broken relationship, eight expert tips where it goes through: Do you have a broken relationship? Signs of a broken relationship.
Speaker 3 You're not talking to one another. I was in this room with you guys for about 50 minutes, an hour,
Speaker 1
very few words. 2FT texts me, he's like, This is pretty tense.
Yeah. I was like, I'm not coming in.
Speaker 3 One of you has shut down. I feel like Hank's on his phone right now
Speaker 3 when we're trying to do a show.
Speaker 1 Is your relationship worth it?
Speaker 1 How to kill a man and get away with it?
Speaker 3
Is your relationship worth saving? Is the next question. Oh.
I think that's what you guys need to decide.
Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't know if it is.
Speaker 3 I don't know.
Speaker 1 They haven't said anything. And it looks like it isn't.
Speaker 6 Yeah, no, I mean, we got to make it to the...
Speaker 1 Again, you should fake a pressure.
Speaker 6 The other thing is that we're not talking about how it's still the regular season. It doesn't mean anything to the
Speaker 1 tournament's.
Speaker 1 Good spin zone, hey? Two weeks to go. Thank you.
Speaker 1 You haven't even lost.
Speaker 3
It does say you likely won't make it if your partner is physically abusive. So I don't know.
Jake is borderline. And Jake does keep saying, like, I'll change.
I swear it'll never happen again. Right.
Speaker 3 And he's then
Speaker 6 just triple sportsmanship me next time.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 3
Yeah. Triple sportsmanship.
Just like punch him.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 5 I would never do that. That's not who I am.
Speaker 1 No, I know.
Speaker 1 I'm sorry, sir.
Speaker 1
All right, let's talk about some sports. You guys are going to figure it out.
We'll be fine. Jake, you're an alpha.
Enjoy it. I mean, you're electric.
You're an electric factory. Yeah.
Speaker 1 Am I sad that I've lost a friend in Hank forever? Yeah, a little bit. But I've also gained a father figure in Jake.
Speaker 5 No, you guys are my mentors.
Speaker 1 Thank you. Thank you.
Speaker 1 Hank.
Speaker 5 You guys have done a lot for me.
Speaker 5 So let's not spin that.
Speaker 1 I'm legitimately scared of you, so I don't know how to respond.
Speaker 3
Jake, what would you like us to lead the show off with today? We have Tim Tebow talk. We have hockey, and we have basketball.
Your choice.
Speaker 5 Your guys' show.
Speaker 1 No, pick one. Pick one.
Speaker 1 You have to pick one. Pick one.
Speaker 3 As your boss, I'm telling you, you have to pick one. Yeah.
Speaker 5 Brooks tied for the lead.
Speaker 1 Bro.
Speaker 1 Yes. What else?
Speaker 1
God damn. All right.
So Brooks Keppka tied for the lead, looking great.
Speaker 1 He had a bad start, too. I think he double-bogeed the first.
Speaker 3
Yeah, well, he had to play himself back into shape. Yeah.
And that's what he did. He was, people were talking about the angles and the chubby belly and the picture that came out on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 But it actually does say something about golf that you can play yourself into shape on one hole.
Speaker 1 Yes. So Brooks is back.
Speaker 1 I just, man,
Speaker 1 like him being in the contention this week would be awesome. But not only is Brooks playing well, I'm pretty sure Max is
Speaker 1
tied for 12th right now. Okay.
And will he hold out an Eagle? Tied for 12th right now.
Speaker 3 He hold out an Eagle
Speaker 3 on a par five, I think.
Speaker 1 All three of our guys are 12th or better.
Speaker 3
It's incredible. I was asking Max this the other day.
Is there a name for if you get a hole in one on a par five? Because I know it's an albatross if you get a double eagle, right?
Speaker 1 It's an un. It's an Kim Jung un.
Speaker 3 I was thinking that we could name it. And I suggest
Speaker 3
a super Max. Yeah.
For Max. You should just try to squat on that name for it.
But I don't know if there's an actual golf term or not for it yet.
Speaker 1 Yeah, so the
Speaker 1 what is it, Kiowa? Kiowa? Kiawa. Kiowa?
Speaker 1
It's going to be windy. That's all I keep hearing.
That's all I keep telling people. Like, hey, you see that wind? Talking about that wind.
Speaker 1 What are you laughing about? Oh, just that confidence. Oh, okay.
Speaker 1 It was funny.
Speaker 1
All right. Next topic.
Jake.
Speaker 1 Playing. Okay, playing game.
Speaker 1 I hate LeBron. I love him.
Speaker 1 Let me finish. Let me finish
Speaker 3 around him last time.
Speaker 1 I hate LeBron, but holy shit, is he so fun to like everything about him? The theatrics. The first half, he's so passive.
Speaker 1 and i there was a moment where it actually happened in two possessions he passed up a layup and took like a fadeaway eight footer and bricked it and everyone was like oh lebron like is he okay and then in the next uh possession he went down the court and won like fast break and you're like oh lebron woke up and then he ended up hitting that three
Speaker 1 which should have been us A nine? Well, because he shot it on three rims.
Speaker 3 No, he was seeing three rims. And that post-game press conference, that was laugh out loud, funny.
Speaker 3 That's when I officially turned on LeBron because he had that line ready to go. He had watched Rocky.
Speaker 3 I think it's a line from Rocky, like, you see three guys, or I'm seeing three guys, Mick, hit the one in the middle.
Speaker 1 Hit the one in the middle.
Speaker 3 It's a line from Rocky, and he had it ready to go.
Speaker 3 And actually, if we're actually going into LeBron's brain and seeing through his eyes, shouldn't that make it easier to hit the shot if there are three hoops?
Speaker 1 Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1
But it should have counted. I think it went in.
Did it go in? No, it went in one. Yeah, no, I don't know, though.
Speaker 3 No, he said he shot at the one in the middle. It went in the
Speaker 1 overlapping, so it could have been...
Speaker 1 I figured it's like
Speaker 1 the left-hand hoop is halfway
Speaker 1 in the middle hoop, and the right-hand hoop is halfway in the middle hoop as well. So it's like a Venn diagram.
Speaker 1 Well, and that star would have bricked. Did he brick two?
Speaker 3
and hit one. I think so.
Okay. Either that, or he didn't say if they were side by side.
Maybe they were on top of each other and it went through all three.
Speaker 1 That would have been a nine-pointer.
Speaker 3 Right. It could have been a nine-pointer because it could have also been a all-star game where they bring out the big hoops.
Speaker 1 Yeah, or it could have been like the rims were just slightly off a little bit. You know what I mean? So he was kind of seeing three.
Speaker 3 I mean, seeing three is also a sign of being intoxicated.
Speaker 3 She might have been a little bit more. Even she was the night before
Speaker 3 she was with Drake doing a little unvaccinated party.
Speaker 1 I think,
Speaker 1 and I know that game was awesome.
Speaker 1 I stayed up for it. Not saying I'm a hero, but I did.
Speaker 1 I think LeBron drinking the night before with Drake proved my point that that game didn't really matter. Because, like, there's no way if that was a real playoff game,
Speaker 1 elimination game, he's going to be out drinking with Drake tonight.
Speaker 3 Well, what he's done is he's become the reverse Skip Bayless of himself because he builds in his excuses at the time, too.
Speaker 3 So, while Skip was saying if they don't win by at least 20, which they didn't, so technically the Warriors won, it would be a disappointment.
Speaker 3 LeBron saw that and he's like, Well, I'm going to go out with the most famous person in the world, have my picture taken, be like, oh, dang, I didn't think that they were going to get me out at the club with my guy Drake.
Speaker 1 Out with Drizzy. They caught me sipping.
Speaker 3
I was trying to have a low-key night with Drizzy, and they got me. And then, and then he's got his excuse just in case they do lose.
But the poke in the eye from Draymond,
Speaker 3 I would have loved it if he had come out wearing an eye patch, like a Mike Zimmer for that last shot. That would have been hilarious.
Speaker 1 So, Draymond needs a little credit because he was awesome defensively. I also, Draymond's three-point shot is like a bad joke at a party.
Speaker 1 Like, Like, whenever he takes, like, the Warriors can be going rolling, and then he'll take his three-point shot that looks like he's got a piano on his back, and it will just be record scratch.
Speaker 1 Like, ooh,
Speaker 1
he shouldn't have done that. But he has to keep taking him because they leave him wide open.
And he was great.
Speaker 1
Steph was obviously fantastic. Steph's so much fun.
Steph, also, if you saw afterwards, I think LeBron said I was seeing triple, and Steph was like, come on, dude. Yeah.
Speaker 1
Like, get the fuck out of here. CJ.
CJ McConnell online. Yeah.
Speaker 6 Aimed for the middle one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 aimed for that middle one. And then
Speaker 1 I think, unfortunately, the Lakers are going to repeat.
Speaker 3 You think so?
Speaker 3 They're going to have trouble with the Suns, I think.
Speaker 1 That sucks so bad for the Suns. They haven't made the playoffs in forever.
Speaker 1 So I said that right after the game, and some people were like, dude, the Suns are really good. I agree the Suns are really good.
Speaker 1 But if you're the Suns, if you're a Suns fan, you can't tell me that you are pumped about the fact that you have your best team in 15 years and you happen to match up with the defending champions and LeBron James for your first-round matchup.
Speaker 1 That's terrible.
Speaker 3
Right, right. That's not ideal, but I do think that the Suns are good enough to, they can win.
I'll borrow a phrase for myself. They could win this series.
Speaker 3 They need to get back in their team building exercises. I think go with what
Speaker 3
worked for you in the bubble. Just get it.
Get sucked up.
Speaker 1 Get it sucked off.
Speaker 3 Get the team sucked going.
Speaker 1
Yeah, member Jake's going to be number one. Or is he last? I think he's going to go first.
He's got to go first.
Speaker 1 So the Lakers, the reason why I think they're going to... It's basically LeBron is going to, what you saw in the second half, when he's,
Speaker 1 even though he's never going to be 100% again, he just decides, like, oh, yeah, I remember I'm LeBron, and I can go to the room whenever I want, and I can dominate this game.
Speaker 1 And then Anthony Davis, when he, Anthony Davis,
Speaker 1 like,
Speaker 1 he needs, he's, what's the old, there's an old like children's story, the elephant that's scared of the mouse. Is that something? Morton here's a who? Maybe.
Speaker 1 Anthony Davis, like half of, half of the games, he just forgets that he's a seven-footer and better than everyone. Like in the first half, he forgot that he was seven feet and better than everyone.
Speaker 1 And then the second half, he was like,
Speaker 1 oh, yeah, I'm seven feet and I'm the best guy here.
Speaker 3
Well, sometimes the mark of a true alpha is knowing when to concede. True.
And when Alex Caruso is on fire, you feel
Speaker 1 like the crucio. So as long as Anthony Davis remembers that he's seven feet tall and
Speaker 1 awesome at basketball, and LeBron, you know, decides like, hey, remember, I'm LeBron.
Speaker 1 I don't know. It's weird to say a seven seed, and the Lakers have looked bad at times, and they, when they look bad, they look really bad, but I don't know.
Speaker 1 Like, are you really going to bet against LeBron right now? They also didn't play for like LeBron and Anthony Davis didn't play combined for like the whole regular season. Correct.
Speaker 1
Right. So, I, so I don't think the seed matters.
No, it doesn't. Right.
It doesn't matter. It just matters.
I mean, a game seven, but then you have to ask, like, how many fans?
Speaker 1 Right. Yeah.
Speaker 3 Well, I think, I think by this weekend, it'll be like fully open or next weekend.
Speaker 1 Arizona seems like a seed.
Speaker 3 In L.A.? Yeah. Arizona, yeah you can
Speaker 1 all
Speaker 1 the world the world the wheels come off at least in Massachusetts hell yes um all right so the we have the setup now oh yeah the the grizzlies beat the spurs um that was great everybody watched that that was fucking awesome the only comment i'll ever have about the grizzlies is they're they're
Speaker 3 they're the same team but i'm a rider they're the same team year to year and they're a team that's like kind of nasty kind of tough yeah and grit and grind yeah grit and grind and my only other comment is that I missed the Vancouver Grizzlies uniforms.
Speaker 3 Bring those back.
Speaker 1 Yes, they have worn those a couple times this year.
Speaker 1 And also, Pop,
Speaker 1 I know that it's cool to be like the
Speaker 1 funny,
Speaker 1 like, older genius, but his look is, it's gone real far.
Speaker 3 He embraced this quarantine.
Speaker 1 And the thing is, like... This Aaron is like just this whole everything.
Speaker 3
Pop's also been around barbers. Like teams have barbers that stay in quarantine with him to get their their hair cut.
So, he doesn't really have an excuse.
Speaker 3 He's just, he, I think a lot of guys, once they hit their 60s, they're just like,
Speaker 3 I am not getting any hotter at this point.
Speaker 1
But, so we have first round this weekend. I'm very excited.
I think it's going to be great. Uh, we talked about the heat and the bucks.
I think that starts on Saturday.
Speaker 1 So, that's like the bonus of all this is, you know, the game, usually it's the first week of May, first weekend of May, when we have like the start of all these playoff series.
Speaker 1 So, we have eight games on Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 1 I think, I mean, Mavericks and Clippers are going to be great. Hank, do you give your Celtics a chance against the Nets?
Speaker 6 No, I think we might get a game or two.
Speaker 6 I think it's going to be.
Speaker 6
I've re-watched The Last Dance recently. I know everyone talked about it during the pandemic.
Ad nauseum, but unbelievable documentary.
Speaker 6 I think it's going to be like when Jordan faced the Celtics, like his first year or whatever in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 Tatum's going to have a couple games.
Speaker 6 Yeah, he's going to have a couple crazy games, but the better team will win.
Speaker 3 So what changed between today and like two days ago? Because you were feeling pretty confident.
Speaker 1 Was I? Nah. Oh, that was against the Sixers.
Speaker 3 You were saying that you could be the Sixers. We would beat the Sixers.
Speaker 6 I'll say that right now.
Speaker 3 If we were playing the Sixers, we'd beat them.
Speaker 1 Mark.
Speaker 1
Oh, no. All right.
Can we get this off the TV? Yeah, the TV. We were replaying stool streams.
I think we know what we're doing. We were doing well.
We were doing well. This is the you, though.
Speaker 1 What are you talking about? This is the you written all over. How is it me? I don't control this.
Speaker 3 Just, yeah, can we just turn that TV off?
Speaker 1 Nah, actually leave it on. Actually, just leave it on.
Speaker 3 Bubba, if you want to turn one of these cameras cameras and put it on the TV so we can have a live stream going for all the people that are watching.
Speaker 1
So I'm okay. Oh, it's just a graphic.
Oh, so they're not going to show the game? No. All right, good.
Speaker 1
Yeah, so Sunday, we're going to just say the Wizards beat the Pacers. Sure.
I don't know. I don't know.
The Pacers won by like 30 points in their game. Okay, we'll say the Pacers beat the Wizards.
Speaker 1 Yeah, that sounds better. All right, so the Sixers and the Pacers.
Speaker 1
I'm very excited for the Suns-Lakers. That's 3.30 on Sunday, which, yeah, it's going to be great.
A lot of sports sports all weekend.
Speaker 1 Anything else in NBA before we ask Jake where we can go to next?
Speaker 3 I'm good on NBA.
Speaker 3 No, actually, I want to go back because I was telling you that if there was a good play-in game, you would like the play-in format. And last night we had a good play-in game.
Speaker 1 Yeah, it was, but
Speaker 1 I stand by the fact that I don't need to see a 33 and 39 team play an extra game to see if they get in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 Right, but if all it gave us was the Lakers playing
Speaker 3 LeBron James hitting the legendary eye shot.
Speaker 1
Yes. I just think that do 8-9.
I'm cool with 8-9. LeBron James.
This 7-10 thing is stupid.
Speaker 3 LeBron.
Speaker 6 8-9, Sudden Death.
Speaker 1 One game.
Speaker 1
Yes, exactly. 8-9, Sudden Death one game.
One game in the bubble. Yes.
Yes, exactly. I mean, this is a very atypical year because you have the defending champs being the seven seed.
Speaker 1 How many times do seven and eight seeds win in the NBA playoffs? Very rarely.
Speaker 3 Has LeBron put up an Instagram post about that shot yet?
Speaker 1 To his former self?
Speaker 5 Yeah, he definitely.
Speaker 3
He's like, I was seeing in the future. My eyes were so screwed up.
Past LeBron. He thinks that was his Willis Reed moment.
Yes.
Speaker 3 He might actually come out and lay an egg in this series because that one shot
Speaker 3 was so emotionally draining.
Speaker 1 Yes, that's true.
Speaker 1 All right, let me do a quick ad read.
Speaker 3 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.
Speaker 3 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.
Speaker 3 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster 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 3 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.
Speaker 1 Jake, next topic.
Speaker 5 Let's go with the mayor's bet update. A great double overtime game.
Speaker 1 Okay, Hank, this is good for you. This is great, actually.
Speaker 3
This is good, Hank. Hank, Hank, congratulations on a big overtime win.
I'll be the bigger man and congratulate you immediately.
Speaker 6 Not to be a downer, but there was a big stream at the office last night. I just didn't get invited to it.
Speaker 1 Oh.
Speaker 3 Yeah, it was mostly for like
Speaker 3 big content names
Speaker 3 on the stream. Jake, were you there?
Speaker 1 Jake, were you there?
Speaker 7 I was not. Were you invited, though?
Speaker 3 I was not.
Speaker 6 But yeah, it was a good game. I watched it at home by myself, and I was happy the Bruins won.
Speaker 1
I just hope that at this point, the Bruins and Caps go seven games and every game goes. I can't do it anymore.
Also, Ogu's fall apart. I'll always fall in apart anymore.
Speaker 3
So after it was over, Samsonov had a great game for the most part, except for the very end. Ovi screamed at him after that last goal.
I saw, I looked up what the translation was.
Speaker 3 According to the lip readers online, of which there are many, he told Samsonov, don't sleep tonight, bitch.
Speaker 3 So I don't know if Ovi's going to kill him.
Speaker 1 He might be dead.
Speaker 3 Yeah. One of Putin's guys might have come into the room last night.
Speaker 1 That's a tough one.
Speaker 1 teammate. Yeah, sleep.
Speaker 3 Don't sleep, bitch. Am I crazy?
Speaker 6 I always remembered the pronunciation being Samsonoff.
Speaker 1 That's a different. Yeah.
Speaker 6
Oh, okay. It is a different person.
Different person.
Speaker 6 Every time they say it, I'm like, was there a mandate where all of a sudden the announcers have to really enunciate the su
Speaker 3 Samsonov? It's a different guy. Yeah, yeah, I can see how that would be confusing to a casual.
Speaker 3 I actually do think that the best way to turn the series around right now, because like two overtime losses in a row, it's not the same as just two regular, you know, three-period losses where you lose by a group.
Speaker 3
It's emotionally draining. You have to come out, and I think Tom Wilson has to get into a fight.
I think he has to try to fight Marshawn.
Speaker 1 Well, this, let me ask you this, must win or can't lose.
Speaker 3
It's a can't lose. I thought about that.
I thought about it. And what's really starting to make me upset is...
Speaker 3 I have to start mentally preparing myself for this might be Ovie's last season because he's a free agent.
Speaker 1 And you have have to eat Olive Garden until you puke. Yeah.
Speaker 3 I did say I would stop using that's cap if the Caps came back and won. So that's on the line.
Speaker 1 No, I'm a Caps fan.
Speaker 3
Officially on the line. I figure that's a good way to get people around me.
I will stop using Dats Cap.
Speaker 3 Effective game seven or game six, whenever we win this thing, I will stop using that's cap for the rest of my life.
Speaker 3
I will never say those words again. Okay.
That's my solemn
Speaker 1 See you.
Speaker 1
Other series, Avalanche are awesome. I love their uniforms, too.
I think they were wearing like throwback uniforms last night. They look sick.
Speaker 1 And speaking of uniforms, the Oilers, they wore the worst uniforms that they have, and you can't do that in the playoffs. You can't bring out your worst sweater.
Speaker 3 Which ones were they wearing in the playoffs?
Speaker 1
They were wearing the black ones with like the orange silhouette. Yeah, I don't like it.
You can't do that.
Speaker 3 Especially when you have one of the best regular uniforms ever.
Speaker 1 Right. Blue's an orange.
Speaker 3
Blue and Orange is a great color combination. It's the playoffs.
Except for the Mets.
Speaker 1 We're going to have Biz on on Sunday night, so we will do some in-depth hockey talk, we promise.
Speaker 3 So, did you hear what Patrick Sharp said on the broadcast? I'm hot.
Speaker 1 I have three rings.
Speaker 3
He's like, I've got great hair. I've got a lot of championships.
Big Cat's taking a picture of me right now at home, probably. And
Speaker 3 he mentioned the fact that you can just jam the goal with a bunch of players. And I asked Ryan Whitney and Biz Nasty about that.
Speaker 3 These are two scholars, and they both said that they are not aware of a rule that would prevent an entire team from playing the stack and just laying on each other's backs and blocking the game.
Speaker 1
So there it is. Figure it out, people.
Do that.
Speaker 1 Park the bus.
Speaker 1 All right.
Speaker 1 Next topic, Jake.
Speaker 5 No hitters are happening every day.
Speaker 1
Oh, too many. Oh, my God.
Does it play a game? I'm sick of them.
Speaker 5 You think who's going to throw tonight's no-hitters?
Speaker 1 It's just like...
Speaker 3 I think there'll be two tonight.
Speaker 1 Yeah, probably.
Speaker 5 No lot of day games.
Speaker 1 The fact that the Yankees haven't five night games. It actually bums me out because the only
Speaker 1 the Cubs had for a long time, it was like one of the only records the Cubs had.
Speaker 1 Well, that and having the longest drought, like World Series drought, but they had the longest time period of not being no-hit. Cole Hamill's no-hit him, I think it was like 2014, 15, 15 maybe.
Speaker 1 And it would have been an awesome record to have right now. Because it was like, it was like 25, 30 years or something.
Speaker 1 In today's game, it would be like, holy shit, that would be the cool no no the new no-hitter to be like, we haven't been no-hit.
Speaker 3
Right. I actually think that throwing no hitter no-hitters have gotten, it's like Chugi now.
Yeah. It's like kind of overdone.
It's lame.
Speaker 1 Hank's shaking his head.
Speaker 3 You don't think it's choogie, Hank?
Speaker 6 No. Just everything you say.
Speaker 1 What? What?
Speaker 3 Everything I say is choogie?
Speaker 3 Yeah, I work for Barcelona.
Speaker 7 It's like Jaymond Green shooting a three.
Speaker 6 You know, it doesn't look natural.
Speaker 1 It's choogie.
Speaker 3 It's chuggy AF.
Speaker 1 It's honestly Chug.
Speaker 1 Yeah,
Speaker 1 it's cringe. Want to hit this cousin? That was big yikes.
Speaker 1 Big yikes.
Speaker 3 I don't know about that one, Chief, when guys are throwing no hitters out there.
Speaker 1
I don't know. What is it? What was the old one that you made me say like two years ago? I don't know about that.
That one, Chief. Yeah, that one, Chief.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 All right, but seriously, like, no hitters are lame now.
Speaker 1
Yeah, no, they're not cool. And guys strike out too much.
Guys don't fucking hit for contact. They're trying to hit home runs.
Speaker 3
I actually think it's man the shift. It's gotten selfish to the point where like your defense isn't getting the reps in, so fielding percentage is down.
Yeah. The seams are bigger.
Speaker 3 They added an extra seam on the baseball this year. All right, here's anyone can throw.
Speaker 1 Here's what they should do: they should not count
Speaker 1
no-hitters if you get any outs with the shift. Yeah.
That shouldn't, like, that's, that's, that's part of the problem.
Speaker 1 And the shift.
Speaker 3 I wonder if Tony LaRussa would ever get mad at a pitcher in any circumstance
Speaker 3 for throwing a no-hitter.
Speaker 1 Tony LaRussa getting mad at
Speaker 1
his own players and then defending the other team for throwing at him. He's just goofed up.
He's all goofed up. What are you going to say, Liam?
Speaker 7 I saw it's on pace to be the lowest batting average of all time.
Speaker 1
Yeah. It's the shift.
It's the fact it's launch angles, it's balls, it's everything. There needs to be no no more, no more
Speaker 3 hitters.
Speaker 1 I got thrown off there because Hank did the
Speaker 1
and I was wondering. No one's gonna hear that.
So you're just they're gonna not hear this, they won't hear that now.
Speaker 6 Well, the one you just did, yeah, me doing it.
Speaker 1 Yeah, we're about to throw it out to hear this. All right, next topic, Jake.
Speaker 5 All right, I got one more notable one. We got our first look.
Speaker 1
I like this, actually. He's like our little reality.
He keeps keeps it moving.
Speaker 5 We got our first look at Tim Ocho Cinco Tebow.
Speaker 1
Oh, I like that name. That's fucking chunk.
Also,
Speaker 3 so. Big boy.
Speaker 1
Well, most people saw that and was like, hey, that's a fat ass. Tim Tebow's kind of fat.
I saw it and I was like, how dare you, Tim Tebow, taking Blake Bortle's number?
Speaker 1
85? No, I thought he took five. No, Ocho Cinco.
No, he wasn't. He took 85? No, he was just so big.
Speaker 1 Oh, shit, I didn't see the eight.
Speaker 3
You could only see the five on his back. The eight was on his side.
Fuck. What I took from it.
Speaker 1 I was wrong. I'm wrong.
Speaker 3
I think Tim Tebow is kind of a Trojan horse deal. I think he might end up playing quarterback.
Because if you saw the handshake that he put on the other guy, that is a quarterback's handshake.
Speaker 3
He put his hand out to introduce himself as they're walking away. They shook hands.
He jerked the guy's hand a little bit.
Speaker 3 Alpha him, Jake, knows about that, the old Trump one, where he put him off balance just for a second.
Speaker 3 And then as the guy got a little off balance, Timmy patted him on the back and gave gave him like reassurance it was it was like the entire encapsulation of how to become a natural alpha in about 0.5 seconds flawlessly executed
Speaker 3 Tim Tebow seen it Tim Tebow I think is gonna
Speaker 1 if I were Trevor Lawrence I would sleep very very cautiously yes you know Urban loves him he loves himself some Tebow
Speaker 1
we have one last topic let's talk before we get to Christian Horner. So if you have not watched Drive to Survive on Netflix, I just binged it.
I think PFTU just started it as well.
Speaker 3 Shot two apps.
Speaker 1
It's fucking awesome. And I think we're going to dip our toe into a little F1 content.
Not go crazy, but we're going to do it a little.
Speaker 6 It's foreshadowing, but I think I agree with the end of the interview. We have to go and be there in person and
Speaker 1 see what's going on.
Speaker 6 And then we can talk about it going forward.
Speaker 7 All it took.
Speaker 6 Otherwise, we'll just come across as frost.
Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true. You got to get it there.
Speaker 1 And you got to go to the mecca, which is Monaco, right?
Speaker 3 There have been a couple times this week when we've been talking about this interview and the the scheduling of it, and I've just tossed out there, like, we should probably go to Monaco.
Speaker 1 Monaco, yeah. And if any,
Speaker 3
if anybody had said, like, even kind of as a joke, yes, let's go, it no longer would have been a joke to me. And I would have been like, yeah, we're doing it.
Let's buy a plane ticket. Yeah.
Speaker 3 I would like to go to Monaco. We need a yacht.
Speaker 5 Next year in 2022, they're doing a track right outside Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, guys. Come stay at my place.
Speaker 1 Sure thing. Absolutely.
Speaker 3 And if you need us to do any gardening for you, can we use the toilet?
Speaker 1 No, we'll just. My mom will cook for you.
Speaker 3 We'll do any chores,
Speaker 1 anything you need us to do.
Speaker 1
We'll be a good hooker. But it's awesome because if you haven't watched it, so F1, I was skeptical.
I had heard people talking about it, and then we got this interview booked a couple weeks ago.
Speaker 1 I was like, Let me just start watching this. And it was one of those things that you watch and you can't stop watching because, yes, it's about racing, but it's also the drama is crazy.
Speaker 1 And like, the tracks are cool, the scenes are cool.
Speaker 1 They've done Netflix or whoever created Drive to Survive did the perfect hack of if we show enough aerial shots of cool sceneries, like people are going to like this show no matter what.
Speaker 1 And then you throw in everyone hating each other, like the infighting, the little petty wars. It's this league on steroids.
Speaker 3
For me, it's mostly about the optics of success that just emanate from Formula One race. Yes.
So like if
Speaker 3 we talk about Formula One, I think that people will just be like, those guys are sophisticated as hell. Right.
Speaker 3
If you just say, like, I'm a big Formula One fan, I love Team Ferrari. People will be like, that guy is rich.
And Michael Shesman, he probably owned several Ferraris. Yep.
Speaker 1 Michael Schumacher. He's the GOAT.
Speaker 3
Yeah. No, no doubt about it.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 So, well, Lewis Hamilton might be.
Speaker 3 No, I think Schumacher.
Speaker 1 Yeah, we are.
Speaker 3 This is the conversation right now.
Speaker 1
Yeah, this is incredible. Everybody's like, fuck those guys are wealthy.
And they were talking about Monaco? Where even is that? This is crazy.
Speaker 1 Yeah, we exude class.
Speaker 3 So, yeah, be uh i'm gonna try to watch f1 this weekend i actually think that that is probably the only race in the world that i would get kicked out of monaco monaco just well not not for anything that i did i probably wouldn't be admitted but you you can't even i like
Speaker 1 any other motivation i don't want to say that you're now making us look poor but you are because you don't even have to get admitted to monaco you can just watch the race on your yacht well i don't think i'd be admitted in the vicinity no dude we'd have our yacht i've actually been.
Speaker 1
I know. We wouldn't need to buy it.
You don't buy tickets. You watch it from a fucking rooftop or your yacht.
Speaker 3 I just don't think. I think I don't have the Monaco look.
Speaker 1 We'll get it.
Speaker 3 We'll find it. And the other motorsport, it's like that guy should probably be competing.
Speaker 1
What's breaking news? Fredo is trending. I don't know.
People are using a slur again.
Speaker 3 Is it about Maradona's doctors?
Speaker 1
Oh, no, it's just Chris Cromo. Oh.
Okay.
Speaker 1 I was like, uh-oh.
Speaker 3 Uh-oh. Did you hear that about Maradona's doctors? What? They killed him.
Speaker 1 Why?
Speaker 3
I don't know. They're trying to figure it out.
Fuck. The case is like going to court.
They're being charged with homicide. They killed the goat.
Speaker 1 Shit.
Speaker 3
Messi probably had something to do with it. No.
Messi wants goat status.
Speaker 1
No, no, no. Messi loves Maradona.
It's probably Ronaldo.
Speaker 1
All right. So I cannot recommend it enough.
Drive to Survive on Netflix. It's awesome.
Like, I, again, I was skeptical because I'm not a big racing guy, car racing guy, but it's way more than that.
Speaker 1
It's everything. So just pop it in.
There's three seasons right now and Monaco on this weekend. And we're going to talk to Christian Hoyner right now.
Speaker 1 Before we get to Christian Horner, 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 with crisp, fresh notes of apple.
Speaker 1
So get out there and make your Irish entrance. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.
Okay, here he is, Christian Horner.
Speaker 1
Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. It is team principal of Red Bull Racing Formula One, Christian Horner.
They're actually teaming up with Cash App as well, which is a sponsor of ours,
Speaker 1 working with you guys. You guys are at Monaco
Speaker 1
right now, and you have the race coming up on Sunday. We're excited to have you on.
I want to just tell you beforehand that I'm a die-hard F1 fan as of a week and a half ago.
Speaker 1 I binged all three seasons.
Speaker 1 Fantastic.
Speaker 1 So I guess my first question is: what made you go with the spray tan for season three after season one and two?
Speaker 8
Well, that was, you know, being locked up at home for a couple of months. So you get out in the garden a bit.
And the first time I've been in one place for, you know, for that period of time.
Speaker 8 So there were benefits to this pandemic.
Speaker 1
Okay. All right.
All right. I just had to ask that.
All right. But seriously, so for people, our audience probably isn't the biggest F1 fans.
Speaker 1
If you want to go watch Drive to Survive, it's awesome on Netflix. There's three seasons out.
Can you explain to us
Speaker 1 what Monaco means to the F1 world
Speaker 1 and what they should expect to watch when they're watching this weekend?
Speaker 8 Well, Monaco is a big one.
Speaker 8 All the races have the same points, but this is the big one. Every driver, every team wants this on their CV.
Speaker 8
It's over 70 years old, this race. The track's largely unchanged.
It's an insane circuit. There's no overtaking here.
So qualifying is everything. But you're racing through a tunnel.
Speaker 8 you're running around the harbor you're going through where the market would be past the casino um so it's an iconic race and when people think formula one 90 of them will also think monoco and i'm a diehard formula one fan in the last two days so i've seen
Speaker 3 a couple of the episodes i followed along a little bit i know that you have uh in your last couple races finished in second place i saw that you were saying that you expected a good result this weekend um in american media what we like to do is we like to make people guarantee victories, and then that gives us a lot of headlines and generates buzz for us.
Speaker 3 So, would you like to guarantee a victory this weekend in Monaco?
Speaker 8
No, no, I'm not gonna get, you know, we're very British, so we're very reserved. We don't, you know, we don't talk about guaranteeing anything.
So, um,
Speaker 8
so no, we're uh, we'll totally understate it. We'll put all the pressure on Lewis Hamilton and try and beat him on uh Sunday afternoon.
But
Speaker 8 look, it's it's really tight between the guys at the front, between Lewis and uh, Max. There's nothing been much between them,
Speaker 8
the first four races. This race, the driver makes a difference.
And it's going to be about getting the qualifying, right? Because then you can weave like hell and keep the guy behind for 70 lakhs.
Speaker 1 All right, so I'm actually very curious about this. The
Speaker 1
driver versus the car. Like Lewis Hamilton is the GOAT.
Whenever we're discussing sports in America, we like to do the GOAT. Max Versappin's going to be world champion.
That's what everyone says.
Speaker 1 I believe it as well. How much of it is the driver and how much of it is the car? Like, if you put Max or Lewis in a bottom-tier car, would they be on the podium or is it impossible?
Speaker 8
No, they wouldn't be on the podium. It's impossible.
But, I mean, the car is a big influence. It's probably about a third, a third, a third if you split it up between car, chassis, engine, and driver.
Speaker 8 So,
Speaker 8 you know, that's probably about the, you know, the split.
Speaker 1 Okay, that actually helps a lot because I always, I'm watching these, you know, these episodes and I'm wondering, like, you know, obviously the financial part of the sport is interesting because if you spend more money, you have more resources, you have a bigger team.
Speaker 1 But what, like, the fine details on the car, are those things that you have to, you're thinking of in the offseason and you're just hoping it works when you get into testing and you get into the season?
Speaker 8
No, look at, I mean, we don't make things up as we go along. We, we do a huge amount of simulation.
We do a
Speaker 8 massive amount in the virtual world. We pretty much live in the matrix.
Speaker 8 And so when we turn up at a track, you know, the driver's tested the updates, he's tested the car, the engine, everything.
Speaker 8 And the reality versus the virtual world is getting so close now in that simulation that that's how we develop these cars. Yeah.
Speaker 3 Can you remember when you were growing up? I know you grew up in a motorsports family. Do you remember when you fell in love with going fast?
Speaker 8
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Speaker 8 A long time ago you know we had a the the house i lived at in the countryside there was a hill outside uh
Speaker 8 uh you know at the back of the uh at the back of the garden and um there was a road and it was about you know we used to make like a soapbox to go down the the the hill there and and of course it had no brakes or anything like that and it was all about who could go the quickest um
Speaker 8 and uh
Speaker 8 So yeah, I was probably about eight, nine. That's where I fell in love with speed.
Speaker 8 So what Evil Knievel was was a big factor in my life as well?
Speaker 1 Evil can evil, and and the full guy.
Speaker 8 I mean, he was he was a big influence on my younger careers.
Speaker 3 So, so the influence was like you loved to go fast, and then you also weren't afraid of crashing from time to time.
Speaker 8
No, I'm so you want to jump things, you want a hot girl next to you in the pickup truck. Um, Dukes of Hazard, they were a big influence on me as well.
18.
Speaker 1 Yeah,
Speaker 1 yeah,
Speaker 8 all those classics, yeah.
Speaker 1 Um, so I'm the sport is so fascinating to me. And like I said, I've been a die-hard fan for a week and a half now.
Speaker 1 When we're talking about American sports and you talk about teams and teammates, you obviously are expecting teammates to work together.
Speaker 1 This sport's obviously a little different that the teammates are competing against each other. Is there, how do you, how do you like,
Speaker 1 you know, as basically the head coach of this whole system, how do you get them to work together, but also know that at the end of the day, they're really racing each other?
Speaker 8 I think there's a big difference between American sport and European sport because in America you say a teammates, they genuinely like each other, they give each other the ball, they'll play with each other,
Speaker 8 they work for each other. Call a teammate in Europe, they fucking hate each other
Speaker 8 because it's the one guy that's going to kill his career.
Speaker 8 So they play team, but the reality is they both want to beat each other. And so my job is to try and keep them both pointing in the right direction and score as many points for the team as they can.
Speaker 1 And is there ever a time where you will say, like either mid-race or before the race, hey, look, you have to take one for the team here. You have to help
Speaker 1
Max get to the podium. You have to do, we're not expecting you to win this race.
We want you to help him win this race. Is there any element of that?
Speaker 8 There will be because, you know, at some point, you've got to pick your best chance of success. So, you know, Max is probably the most likely guy to obviously win their championship for us.
Speaker 8 And we've got a great driver in Sergio Perez. And obviously, at some stage, his role will be to say, right, okay, we've got to help Max win this.
Speaker 6 Yeah.
Speaker 8 So, but we're nowhere near that stage. We're only four races in and focused on giving both drivers the best chance that we can.
Speaker 8 It's usually the last sort of 25% of the championship that that will happen.
Speaker 3 How have things changed in sport, given the popularity of the Netflix series? Because I imagine that it's been exposed to
Speaker 3 a massive audience that might not have ever heard of you guys before. Have you noticed like different fans out at the race, more fans in general?
Speaker 8 Yeah, look, we've noticed a massive, massive change since Netflix came along. I mean, I'm very popular with the older generation now.
Speaker 8 So, all the older viewers that seem to have been attracted to myself.
Speaker 8 But it's fantastic that we're reaching this whole new audience and that
Speaker 8
Netflix is putting Formula One in front of people that wouldn't have naturally watched Formula One. And then they want to find out what's going on, what happened.
You know, this is a soap opera.
Speaker 8
And so they have to tune in and watch the sport. And then, you know, they get more and more engaged.
So for us, it's fantastic. We have a growing audience in the U.S.
that's going crazy.
Speaker 8 We're bringing in a lot of U.S. sponsors like Cash App, like Oracle,
Speaker 8 and ExxonMobil, you know, AT ⁇ T, some great brands. And,
Speaker 8 you know, that's all because of the popularity that's growing. And Netflix is a big part of that.
Speaker 1
Yeah, I mean, I'm a test case for that. I had no idea what F1 was, and then I watched it.
You'd have never heard of me before.
Speaker 8 No,
Speaker 1 exactly. I didn't.
Speaker 1 And I actually want to throw this out there because I think the greatest humble brag, I don't know if you intended this to happen, happened in season one of Drive to Survive when you were at home with your family and your wife's sitting next to you, and they just didn't mention the fact that I was like, wait, is that ginger spice?
Speaker 1 And then I realized it was. So,
Speaker 1 you know,
Speaker 1
we're 36-year-old guys who grew up on the Spice Girls. So that was kind of a cool twist that we didn't expect.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 Who was your favorite?
Speaker 1 Ginger Spice. Wait, respectfully.
Speaker 1
Yeah, congratulations. Respectfully is what I meant to do.
Respectfully, respectfully. No, thank you.
Yeah.
Speaker 8 Okay, we're very British about that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 Yeah, you've done well for yourself. Yeah.
Speaker 8 Thank you. Yeah, no, I like to think she's punching above her weight, but it's probably me that is.
Speaker 3 If you guys have to go out to dinner, if you have to make like a last-minute reservation, whose name are you dropping?
Speaker 3 Are you going to say you or her depends where we go depends where we go but usually usually her name works a bit bit more than mine does imagine that opens some doors for sure yeah yes how does it work uh if you're if you're growing up over in europe and you want to and you're into formula one how do you decide which team to support that's always been like fascinating to me when it comes to more individual sports it's like how do people get attached to a driver or a team usually it's through a driver isn't it it's either through nationality like when i was growing up nigel mansell was a big big, you know,
Speaker 8 big name for me, British guy,
Speaker 8
drove with his, you know, a lot of heart. And he was up against somebody like Edin Senna, you know, who had a massive following in Brazil and South America.
So 90% of the time it's the driver.
Speaker 8
And that's what the U.S. needs.
We've got to get a decent American driver running in Formula One.
Speaker 8 And as soon as that happens, I think the U.S.
Speaker 8 will just take off even more. We've got a new race coming in Miami next year, which is going to be super cool.
Speaker 8
So, you know, our presence in the U.S. is growing and growing.
We just need a U.S. star.
Speaker 8
We've got a youngster that's only, I think he's 14, 15, Jack Crawford, American kid, and he's doing going to be a big name. He's going to be a good one.
I love it.
Speaker 3
It's a good name, too. Yeah.
Has it ever worked the other way? Because I know that you've heard of some F1 drivers coming over, trying their hand at NASCAR.
Speaker 3 Has there ever been a major NASCAR driver that's crossed over and tried to compete in F1?
Speaker 8 I think NASCAR drivers, they come and have a go, but they haven't actually raced.
Speaker 8 And likewise, the other way around, I think Montoya was the guy that went the other way.
Speaker 8
And he did a pretty decent job from what I could see in NASCAR. But it's like they're two different worlds.
It's like, you know, we have rugby, you've got American football, you know, and,
Speaker 8 you know, we've got soccer or football and you've got soccer. It's,
Speaker 8 you know, there's cars and tracks, but it's Formula One is a different challenge to anything in the US compared, for example, like the Indy 500.
Speaker 1 Right.
Speaker 1 Dumb question. When a crash happens, obviously the first thing you're thinking about is the safety of the driver and making sure everyone's okay.
Speaker 1 After everyone's okay, are you like, oh shit, that's a lot of money. Like, that's a lot of money that we just lost on that car.
Speaker 8
Exactly. Especially this year with a cost, we've got a financial cap.
So we're restricted to $145 million.
Speaker 8 And it sounds like a lot.
Speaker 1 On a car?
Speaker 8 But yeah, on the car, right? So we can't go over that.
Speaker 8 You know, last year we'd have been spending about 195 so we've got we've had the reduced our costs significantly for this rule this year so somebody crashes the car that's expensive and and so yeah as soon as the guy's all right you're thinking how much did that cost yeah right that little fender bender so speaking of the restrictions the financial restrictions are you do you think that's good for the sport that there's going to be more parity and uh overall the health of the sport will be better knowing that you can't just spend the most money and win the championship yeah i think it's i think it's good i think it's ultimately a positive thing you just want to make sure that people are all playing by the same rules it's like you know they're all different entities so i mean ferrari make road cars and race cars so if luigi's designing a front wing is it for a former luan car or a f60 ah you know yeah you know so you just want to make sure and i think they've got a good um they have got uh you know quite a good process in place and you know everybody's everybody's setup setup is different.
Speaker 8 So it's a new challenge this year.
Speaker 8
But I think ultimately it's a good one. It's going to take a couple of years to settle down.
But I think it's healthy for the whole sport.
Speaker 1
I like that about you, by the way, that you are not afraid to be like, hey, that's illegal. I'm going to protest that.
Has anyone ever come up to you and been like, you're a snitch?
Speaker 1 Like, why are you doing that? I think it's great. I think it's awesome to watch because you're basically like a coach.
Speaker 1 We're going to take every, we're going to use every advantage we have.
Speaker 1
We're going to expend every resource to try to win this race. And if that's like, hey, this guy missed the yellow flag, we're going to say it.
But has there ever been any backlash?
Speaker 8
You know, people always have opinions, but my job is to push the limits. If I don't do that, then I'm not doing my job properly.
If I say, yeah, it's okay. You guys take the yellow flag.
Speaker 8 We'll give you that win. Right.
Speaker 8 You know, so underneath that British. exterior is a competitive American interior.
Speaker 3 There's a shark.
Speaker 1
Well, I like that. I like that too.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 What's the most expensive part on your car right now?
Speaker 8 The fleshy bit in the middle with two arms, two legs.
Speaker 1 I was like, wait, what? What is that? I'm not a big car guy.
Speaker 1 What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 Does it make a difference? And we've definitely entered like the stupid question portion of this interview right now.
Speaker 1 Well, yeah, because the beginning car has really great journalism by us.
Speaker 3 Does it matter if your driver loses 10 pounds the week before a race?
Speaker 8 Yeah, it does actually, because, you know, we want the drivers to be like jockeys.
Speaker 8 They've got to be a consistent weight over the weekend because we balance the car because it's a combined weight between the driver and the car.
Speaker 8
So if the driver loses, you know, 10 kilos, then we're in trouble because, you know, if he hasn't told us. So we're constantly weighing these guys.
They get weighed after breakfast.
Speaker 8 They get weighed before they get in the car. They get weighed after they get out of the car because
Speaker 3 they spend more time on the scales than anybody else i know because we have to have them at a consistent you know weight yeah so how does that work over the course of a race because i would imagine if you're competing in uh austin texas or miami it's going to be a hot out it's a long race probably lose a lot of water weight over the course of it is the car then handle differently because of that It won't handle differently, but we have to take that into account with the weight that we start with.
Speaker 8 So the driver, you know, somewhere like Singapore will lose two kilos, you know, through through just sweating um so you have to compensate that with the weight that you put in the car for the you know for the end of the race so since we're an american sports podcast uh this probably won't get picked up but uh you know internationally but who do you hate the most on the circuit
Speaker 8 Who do I hate the most in what in Formula One?
Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 You can just say whatever, because like no one will
Speaker 1 ever write.
Speaker 1 We're very small.
Speaker 8
I love everybody. Yeah.
I love everybody. I don't have any enemies.
Do you
Speaker 1 do you, though,
Speaker 1 you know, the other, the guys on the other teams, do you have any relationship off-camera or, you know, maybe go out to dinner at the end of the season? Or is it true, like, hey, this is a rivalry.
Speaker 1 I want to beat you, and
Speaker 1 I'm not going to be friendly with you no matter what.
Speaker 8 Look, it's not, we're not playing chess with each other. I mean,
Speaker 8 it's a rivalry. And
Speaker 3 I am a great believer that you know you can't fake things you know it's it's real so yeah i won't be spending christmas with toto wolf that's for sure yeah what what about toto because i i know that you've had a little back and forth with him recently you hired away a bunch of his top guys right and he's upset that you're spending money do you feel bad for paying his people more than he was going to pay them not at all Not at all.
Speaker 8
He's a cheap guy. You know, he should have paid them more in the first place.
They'd have never left.
Speaker 1 That's a fair point.
Speaker 8 what's what's the size difference between like a red bull racing team and one of the lower teams like in terms of just general staff i think what we're on the bigger end obviously i mean we're one of the bigger teams i mean he's uh sorry uh compared to a mercedes they're bigger they're probably the biggest team probably by followed by ourselves mercedes over a thousand people just on the chassis we're probably about 800 850.
Speaker 3 i think terrari are quite similar wow that's a lot of people and when was the last time you got the itch to just say, fuck it, I'm going to drive?
Speaker 8 Probably about 25 years ago.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 8
No, look, I started my life as a driver. That's how I started.
And I quickly recognized that my talent was not behind the wheel.
Speaker 8
So, but it was a great education for me. I love driving the cars.
I love, you know, I drove here in Monaco. I drove in the category just below Formula One.
Speaker 8 And it was a great education.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 So So this is a really stupid question, but I respect the fact that you pull off being a pinky ring guy.
Speaker 1 Was that just
Speaker 1 has that been your whole life? You've been a pinky ring guy?
Speaker 8 Well, what is the definition of a pinky ring guy to you guys? I mean, over, you know, obviously,
Speaker 1 I think it's just wearing it with confidence because I've always wanted to rock a pinky ring and I've dabbled, I've put it on, and I just don't feel confident.
Speaker 1 Where I see you, and I'm like, that guy, he's confident in his pinky ring.
Speaker 8
Absolutely. I mean, I think you should give it a go.
I mean, if you came over here and you didn't have one,
Speaker 8 we'd think you were slightly old.
Speaker 1 How long have you been rocking it? Your whole life?
Speaker 8 Yeah,
Speaker 8 I think 18.
Speaker 1
Since I was 18. That's an early start.
Pinky ring.
Speaker 3
Now it's like part of who you are. Yeah, it's part of you.
You know what?
Speaker 8 Nobody's ever asked me that question in my life before. So
Speaker 8 that's a new one. I like that.
Speaker 1 We pride ourselves on doing that on this podcast. Whenever we have a guest.
Speaker 1
I would assume we're a little different than the F1 media. Yeah.
So wait, speaking of age, you you know, for people who don't know your backstory, you took over Red Bull at a pretty young age.
Speaker 1
You four world titles. Was, you know, was that looking back on it, were you like, man, this is not easy, but like, this is awesome.
I keep winning world titles.
Speaker 1 And now the last few years have been a little more difficult with Mercedes.
Speaker 8 Look, I mean, I came in. I was 31 when I took on the job.
Speaker 8 You know, we worked really hard to get into a championship position.
Speaker 8 We then won the championships for four years in a a row i think i was the youngest guy to to win a formal one championship as a team principal and then we've you know then mercedes came along with their juggernaut and they've they've they've been they've raised the bar you know they've done an amazing job the last seven years and and we've been fighting to get ourselves back into a competitive position you know we're we're getting there you know this year we're getting pretty close to them and that that's great that's great for the whole team it's great for honda it's great for our partners it's great for the sport to suddenly have two guys at the top of their game going going head-to-head.
Speaker 3 Do you have any superstitions on race days? Any patterns that you do all the time?
Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8
I've got loads. I had them from when I was driving.
So
Speaker 8 nobody listens to this podcast today.
Speaker 1
No one. It's just us.
I'm not going to get help. We're not even recording.
Okay.
Speaker 8 I've got two I can probably share with you. I have a lucky pair of underwear.
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 8 You know, that's won several races and championships.
Speaker 8 And
Speaker 8 I have this really bad one of
Speaker 8 I have like a lucky toilet at each track we go to.
Speaker 8 And I have to make sure that I go for a pee in that lucky toilet before the race.
Speaker 8 Now, if that toy, if there's like in Brazil, most places it's okay because we've got our own motorhome and it's fine. But somewhere like Brazil, 25 toilets, 24 of them are empty.
Speaker 8 And the lucky one is full. You look kind of weird hanging around the toilets waiting to go to your lucky toilets.
Speaker 3 No, I get that.
Speaker 3 So they bring the same toilets. It's like Kim Jong-un,
Speaker 3 his toilet train that they drive around.
Speaker 1 They take the toilet everywhere.
Speaker 8 I mean, we go to different rate. You know, when we come to Austin, I'll pick one, you know, one toilet and get, okay, that's my lucky toilet for the weekend.
Speaker 1 Does your team, does your team? Oh, does your team know?
Speaker 8 They change it from race to race. I don't take the same one to every comprehensive.
Speaker 1 But does your team know, like, hey, where, where's Christian? Where's the boss? Like, oh, he must be held up waiting for his lucky toilet.
Speaker 8
I don't know about that. You know, so, well, you guys are the only ones that know about this superstition.
So, you know, they wouldn't have a clue.
Speaker 1
Okay. Oh, okay.
I'm very curious about the toilet.
Speaker 3 How do you decide which one is going to be the one that week?
Speaker 1 Does it just speak to you?
Speaker 3 Guys, guys, sorry. This is going to be the last question.
Speaker 1
Okay, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is a good one to wrap up.
Speaker 8 That's miserable. I was enjoying this.
Speaker 8 Well, look, I might try a few during the different practice sessions, and the one that we're the quickest in, I will then adopt for the rest of the weekend.
Speaker 1
Ah, perfect. The fastest toilet.
That is unbelievable. Well, exactly.
Christian, I know you're a very busy man. We appreciate it.
Hopefully, this wasn't too painful for you. We try to do something.
Speaker 8
Look, I enjoyed it. You guys should come to a race.
You should come and find about the world of Formula One.
Speaker 3 I would love to go to Monaco this weekend.
Speaker 1 Is there a too fat for driving the car and too tall? Because I think I don't even think I would fit in the car.
Speaker 8 No,
Speaker 8 I think, unfortunately,
Speaker 8 you fit both of those categories.
Speaker 1
The XL car. If you got an XL car, I'll come to a race.
All right.
Speaker 1
Okay, no problem. All right.
Thanks so much. Good luck this weekend.
Speaker 8 All right, all the best.

Speaker 1 Hank.
Speaker 3 I mean, we talked about it. Do you have anything to be upset about?
Speaker 1 Hank. You also want to match this.
Speaker 1 Oh!
Speaker 1 Wait.
Speaker 1
I'm trying to do it. It's just so much worse.
Every time he tries to help you, he can't help it. It gets so much worse.
Speaker 3 And he just alphaed me, too.
Speaker 1 Yeah, he did.
Speaker 1 Because Hank beat you.
Speaker 3
It's okay. I swept Hank last time.
I wanted Hank to have some confidence going into this match against Jay. Yeah.
Speaker 6 No, but yeah, I'm just down. Down
Speaker 6 really bad. Not getting invited to live streams, the live streams that I put on, just getting dominated in.
Speaker 6 This kid, Brendan McGrath, though, he just DM'd me that he was one point away, again, from winning $500 today.
Speaker 3 So
Speaker 6 I'll dedicate my Fire Fest to him.
Speaker 3 That is
Speaker 3
great for the if you had played just like a little bit better, he would have got that money. I know one more point.
That's tough.
Speaker 1 Is that it? Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3 Okay, my Fire Fest of the week. I'm sorry, Hank.
Speaker 3 Should we just have all of our Fire Fest? Should we just donate them all to Hank for this week?
Speaker 1 I'm sorry, Hank.
Speaker 3
Because I think what I'm about to say just like pales in comparison to what Hank is going through right now. Yeah.
It's like showing up to a funeral with a stubbed toe and being like, oh,
Speaker 3 my pinky toe hurts.
Speaker 1 I didn't do anything, but I'm just sorry
Speaker 6 for your loss. Well, you put the broadcast.
Speaker 1
I did not. I did not.
Come on, please. I wish I had.
I just tweeted it.
Speaker 6 Couldn't have been. I mean, I don't think the broadcast, I don't even think the moment was over before PFT tweeted it.
Speaker 1 I was sitting in the booth just going recording. Someone get that for my personal use right now.
Speaker 6 His disgusting ass computer tweeted a pic video, like a screen recording, like a HG.
Speaker 1 Is your computer disgusting?
Speaker 3 It's got some dust on it, sure.
Speaker 3 I mean, who doesn't? It's used.
Speaker 3 I use my computer. I work on it.
Speaker 3 Sorry, Hank.
Speaker 1 You're good.
Speaker 3 I also did you a favor because I didn't want people harassing you, asking you when the show was going to come out tonight, because that's something that I know really gets under your skin.
Speaker 3 So I told them to not harass you specifically and instead ask Jake, your boss, when the show is coming out. I didn't do that to get any thanks from you, nor do I expect any.
Speaker 3 But I just want to say I was looking out for you and maybe put some respect on my computer screen.
Speaker 1 I will not.
Speaker 7 Okay. I'll do no such thing.
Speaker 6 Hank,
Speaker 1 if I could boop you like a dog, I would.
Speaker 3 It's not your fault. It's not your fault.
Speaker 6 I could use it. I could really use it right now.
Speaker 1
Boop. Yeah.
Jake, Jake, boop him. No.
Jake, boop him.
Speaker 3 Yeah, Hank just said that he could use a fish.
Speaker 1
Give him a quick boop. Just a quick boop.
Just a quick boop.
Speaker 1 Oh, it's so bad. It's so bad.
Speaker 5 He gave me a finger that's better than what he gave me in there when I was trying to help him up.
Speaker 1 PFT, what's yours?
Speaker 3 My Fire Fest of the week is that
Speaker 3 Tom Brady leadership the hell out of me.
Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. I forgot.
Speaker 3 Tom Brady turned me into a Tom Brady believer yesterday.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 3 So I made a cheap joke about him losing money in Bitcoin.
Speaker 1 It was a cheap joke. What? It was a really cheap joke.
Speaker 3 I just said it was. I know.
Speaker 6 I just.
Speaker 3 Okay, reiterated. Do you want to do my Fire Fest, Hank?
Speaker 1 Do you want me to? Yeah,
Speaker 1
yeah, sure. Okay.
All right. All right.
So, Tom Brady.
Speaker 6 I did a really, really, really bad joke.
Speaker 3 I did. Per usual.
Speaker 1 I did.
Speaker 3 Oh, wow. Hank, you're not allowed to say that.
Speaker 7 I thought you wanted me to do your firefighters.
Speaker 3 No, you're not allowed to say that because Tom Brady is the only one who's allowed to judge my jokes anymore. So I made a bad job.
Speaker 1 I want to get out of this room so bad right now.
Speaker 3
I made a bad joke and Tom Brady said that SMH, I've seen better from you, PFT. Over here, we just buy the dip.
And at first, I was like...
Speaker 3 A little offended by it, but then I was like, wait a second, Tom Brady just said that he's seen better from me. So he expects more out of me.
Speaker 3
And then I started to expect more out of myself because Tom Brady, the legend, sees more in me than I do in myself. Right.
And I realized I am basically Julian Edelman right now. Yeah.
Speaker 3 Like he just leadership the hell out of me.
Speaker 1 He got you. He's going.
Speaker 3
Now Tom Brady is my leader. Correct.
He's a winner. Yeah.
Speaker 1 You're ready to go. I'm ready to roll.
Speaker 3 Shoot up for the Bucks.
Speaker 1
I'm ready to roll. Ready to roll.
Ready to roll.
Speaker 1 Sorry, Hank. You're good.
Speaker 3 Sorry that you're feeling.
Speaker 3 Sorry that you're lashing out at me. And I'm sorry that Tom Brady has never interacted with you on Twitter, even though you went to jail for him.
Speaker 6
That's not true. I think he thanks us every year.
He did a few days ago on the anniversary.
Speaker 1 Did he? Yeah.
Speaker 3 Okay, I'll just look it up on his Twitter account. It should be there, no problem.
Speaker 6 I think it was an Instagram comment if you really want to get nitty-gritty.
Speaker 3 Are you one of his high school friends or one of his college friends when he says it's like having high school? Okay.
Speaker 3 No, it's not online.
Speaker 1 I think you're family.
Speaker 1 Who knows? All right, my Fire Fest is pretty simple.
Speaker 1 I realized this week, because it's nice, it's getting warmer.
Speaker 6
I'm starting to get... Oh, that's the other thing.
I'm fat. I'm skinny and I'm fat.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 6 So, riddle me that.
Speaker 1 What? Riddle me that.
Speaker 3 How are you skinny fat? I don't think you're fat.
Speaker 1 Let me see your stomach. I'll show you offline.
Speaker 1 We have to like...
Speaker 1 Hank, you need to get a room that blocks all of our cell phones so no one can take pictures and no one can send anything. And just, we'll do it there.
Speaker 3 Well, Hank's lashing out at people online. He's saying how much money Quiggs would have in his account if he didn't sell his Dogecoin.
Speaker 1 Hank's how is that a lash out?
Speaker 1 You're just mad, Hank. I'm just stating that Hank, it's okay to be mad.
Speaker 3 Oh, when he sold his Dogecoin, Hank, it's okay to be mad.
Speaker 6 Oh, I thought that's how much money he had.
Speaker 1 Let it out.
Speaker 3 I didn't realize he sold it.
Speaker 1 Let it all out, Hank.
Speaker 3 Hank, you just want to roast us for the rest of the show?
Speaker 7 No, I think you guys are doing great.
Speaker 1 Thanks, Hank.
Speaker 1 All right, my Firefest is: I need to, I need to up my grill game. I I suck at grilling.
Speaker 7 I realize that.
Speaker 1 Sucks.
Speaker 1 As a guy, as a dad,
Speaker 1
you got to be better at grilling. I'm not bad.
I'm just not
Speaker 1 all the way there. You know what I mean? Like, I'm the guy who can cook a steak well, but like, if you give me...
Speaker 3 Medium plus.
Speaker 1 Yeah,
Speaker 1 medium rare plus. But if you give me chicken, I get nervous and I'm over going to undercook it, so I overcook it every time.
Speaker 3 Yeah, chicken's a tricky little bird. I hate a nervous bird.
Speaker 1
Yeah, right. So I need to up my grill game.
So anyone anyone who's got tips for me,
Speaker 1
like, what do I got to buy? What do I got to do? I don't know. Whatever.
Just give me some tips.
Speaker 3 Start easy. Start with hamburgers.
Speaker 1
No, I know how to cook them. I'm saying, like, I want to up my game.
I want to become like, holy shit, how do you cook that on the grill? That looks incredible. Yeah.
Speaker 1 Okay, so I need someone to tell me how to like really up my game.
Speaker 3
Here's what you do. It's like a little hack.
You cook it in the oven. So I assume you can like set a temperature, roast it for a little bit.
Speaker 3 If it's like a steak, if it's like a nice piece of I don't want this.
Speaker 1 This sounds too much.
Speaker 3
No, you don't, it's easy. You just cook it in there, then you take it out to the grill, and the grill's hot as shit.
And you just put it on each side for a little bit.
Speaker 1 Yeah, but I don't want to.
Speaker 3 And then you tell people it's grilled.
Speaker 1 But then, oh, okay.
Speaker 3
And then you're like, see, look at this. And it's got the grill marsh sous and then a nice crust on the outside.
I don't know.
Speaker 1
I'm just open to any. I know barbecue Twitter is a terrible place to be, but I am coming to you and saying, please help.
And I'm ready to go.
Speaker 1 I'm ready to become the guy who can really be proud of his grilling. Jake.
Speaker 5 I can't get this certain Peter Griffin laugh out of my head.
Speaker 1 What is it?
Speaker 1 How?
Speaker 1 Peter!
Speaker 5 That's been stuck in my head. I've been humming it all week.
Speaker 3 So your firefest is that you're too happy.
Speaker 1 Yeah, that's when...
Speaker 1 When something's stuck in your head.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 I have, I mean, dude, I walk around with Elmo
Speaker 1
playing in my head all the time. And Bluey, right? Yeah, but Elmo is the worst.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 So.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Okay.
That sounds like a pretty good week. No, I mean.
Pretty bad. Anyway, let's send everyone on their website.
Speaker 3 Pretty bad, too, it sounds like.
Speaker 1 18.
Speaker 3 Give me
Speaker 3 8 again.
Speaker 6 Andres Karolinko.
Speaker 1 What's that? 47.
Speaker 1 Hank, please get that. 73.

What's an 8? What's that? 8? 89. Looks like a 9.
No, it does not qualify. It does not qualify.
Speaker 1 What's going to be a six?
Speaker 1 What's going to be a six?
Speaker 1
46. 46.
A one-off. Hank on.
Speaker 1 Come on. Just like in play Boston today.
Speaker 3 That's your extra point.
Speaker 1 That's not right.
Speaker 1 That's not right.
Speaker 5 46 first timer.
Speaker 1 Oh. Do I want to add it? Is that 47, Hank?
Speaker 5 Animal Sloss Journalism or not.
Speaker 6 The worst part is that I have been doing in order, just counting up.
Speaker 6 And I don't know if I did 46 or 45 last time.

Speaker 1
Good for you, you too. We'll do without me, baby.

But for you, you don't wanna do it without me, baby. Like a damn sorry pie.
I've lost my mind. I spent the night crying on the floor of that room.
Speaker 1 She's so bad that I really don't get it. I'm gonna burn you.
