Welcome to Pardon My Take presented by 3cheek.com. Go to 3cheek.com.
Use code pardon for 5% off your order. Today is Monday, March 8th, and you are listening to the number one Brooklyn Nets podcast in the world.
I love the Nets, man. The Nets, they've always been my team.
We're crazy for them. We live right down the street.
They're the hometown guys. I'm pumped.
I'm very excited to have the Nets to root for now because they are, like going into it, they're the most hilarious team by far. Yes.
And then they added somebody who's even more hilarious but in a different way

right you can't root against a team that's that's comprised of Kyrie Irving James Harden Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin it's rare that you get like obviously I uh I I wanted him to go to the Bulls but I think the Bulls are probably a year away from being title contenders uh but one year Yeah, one year. One year away from being title contenders uh and i still have actually enjoyed watching this bulls team and i have high hopes for them to make the playoffs but the nets are very very far and away my second team now because i'm just rooting for blake griffin i actually don't i don't care really for the rest of the team it's really just i'm rooting for the Blake Griffin portion of the Brooklyn Nets and maybe a little bit of the Joe Harris and a sliver of the Kevin Durant if he comes on this podcast and the Kyrie Irving too because like yes he's ridiculous and he's a he's a weird guy but he's entertaining like him walking around the arena before every game burning sage I love that stuff like if you're if you're going to be a team that's like a super team, at least have these big personalities on them.
The Warriors were great, but I think their problem was most people liked the Warriors. The only reason that people didn't like them is because they were looked at as being a little bit unfair and taking some of the fun out of the game, knowing who was going to win going into every season.
But they didn't have that actual personality hate thing going on. This team, you either love them or you hate them.
And now I'm going to hate to love them and love to hate them. Jake, I need you to make us a pie chart.
I think we need to do win shares. We need to divvy up who we're actually rooting for on the Brooklyn Nets.
I think right off the bat, it's 70% Blake Griffin.

Yeah.

70% Blake Griffin.

I'd go even higher than that.

80% Blake Griffin.

I'm going to give 5% to Joe Harris.

4% to DeAndre.

Yeah.

I'm going to give...

Yeah, yeah.

4% to DeAndre Jordan.

I'm going to give 4% to Kevin Durant.

I'm going to give 4% to Steve Nash.

One less percent than Joe Harris. 3% to Kevin Durant.
Are you writing this down, Jake? Sorry. What is he doing? What are you doing? He just dropped all his notes.
He just dropped all his notes. I'm going to give two to Kevin Durant, but that can be bumped up to ten if he comes on the show.
I'm going to give two to Steve Nash, but he's got to be dribbling a soccer ball. DJ, what are you? DJ gets four.
I'll just listen back. Yeah, okay.
We're going way over 100. But I'm going to give five to James Harden.
Fat James Harden, though. It depends on his BMI.
Yes. So he can earn.
It's like equity. He can earn more of the rootability.
It's incentives in his contract. Every five pounds he puts on, he gets another percentage.
The fatter he is, the more we're into it and also i'm gonna add more percentage to james harden uh if he does some hilariously bad things in the playoffs like if he misses a shot and then blake has to save the team that would be anytime he gets to be blamed i'm in on that i would say five percent to katie and then add one percentage for each of his burners that we doxed. And then three to Kyrie

and five I would say 5% to KD and then add 1% for each of his burners that we doxed. And then 3% to Kyrie and 5% to Mike D'Antonio because remember that time we sat next to him? He ate a salad.
He ate a salad and he was drinking a white wine. We didn't talk to him, but we sat next to him.
We knew it was him. And also I saw him once in Brooklyn.
I said, what's up, coach? And he just nodded. And I think he was freaked out because, like, why would anyone call him coach him coach on the street well they don't have a coach in brooklyn right it's depending on what day of the week it is they cycle that around i'm really hoping that blake goes there and then he can just immediately play like old blake again yes change of scenery will be good for him he's gonna dunk for the first time since 2019 mark my words oh yeah 2021 is the year of blake griffin dunking he's gonna dunk in the first game can you read that back to us jake well i missed the first half billy can you read that back to us do you have it billy what okay he's looking at big butt accounts on instagram right i uh yeah so we are now rooting for the brooklyn nets uh for blake do we can't now i'm gonna just offer something up there and i we were gonna bring it up whenever he comes back on the show, which hopefully will be soon.
Did you guys see the New York Times article where it was podcasters picking their favorite podcast? Blake Griffin picked Dax Shepard. Excuse me? Yeah.
No, I didn't see that. Yes.
I actually saw it. It was actually saw do you know what I did

when I saw

I saw it on Friday

someone tweeted it at us and I just closed

my computer and I was like nope not gonna look

not gonna ruin my Friday I don't want to

think about this it hurt my feelings

so much so profoundly

that I just pretended it didn't happen

it's disgusting and I don't have a subscription

so I couldn't go back and read it

he's been on the Dax Shepard podcast right

I have no idea maybe not maybe it's't happen. It's disgusting.
And I don't have a subscription, so I couldn't go back and read it. He's been on the Dax Shepard podcast, right? I have no idea.
Maybe not. Maybe it's one of those things that's just him trying to get on the show.
Yeah. Yeah, that could be it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you're right.
You're right. It was probably just a joke.
Yeah, it's classic Blake. That's Blake.
You know what this is? Yeah. He's got a new show coming out where you prank the prankers.
He knows that we're pranksters. Yeah.
He's pranking us. And he was like.
Yeah, okay. You almost had us, Blake.
What's the number one rule for Blake of the Year? You can't try too hard. So if he had said us, that would have been a try hard move.
And everyone would have been like, oh, you're just trying to win Blake of the Year. No.
He's going to neg us with Dax. This is classic Blake.
You have to know him to get it. Are we going to go to games? Probably not.
I'll go to a game. I've been offered Nets tickets before and I'm like do I have to? I don't know.
Yeah sure I'll go to a game. Fuck it.
Why not? Hank you want to go? No Billy that wasn't an invitation. Yeah we'll go to a game.
We'll go to a game. Oh you know what I just remembered? I I just remembered this So me and Blake have had this thing Where after every single show that he does Every interview that he does with us We talk about like Hey, have you listened to the new Dax Shepard podcast? And then we joke because neither one of us has listened to it And we both think it's probably bad Very funny And so him saying that That was like actually a wink and a nod to us Very funny You probably don't get the joke That's how funny he yeah it's so funny yeah so i'm not i didn't hurt my feelings that's funny he's a funny guy i really did it was it was almost like i was uh what's his name in succession when the rocket blows up and he's just like not gonna look at this that's what i called giamatti no what's his fucking name kindle culkin culkin yeah what was no it wasn't kind of Culkin.
Brian Culkin. No.

It's Kieran Culkin, but what's his fucking name?

The guy that jacks off to the lawyer's voice.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Fuck.

What is his name, guys?

See, that's the problem with succession. How do we not know who's the name?

Roman.

Roman.

The theme song is so good that you don't really absorb any of the actual names of the characters.

How many guys do you think have gotten laid by just playing the theme song on a piano at a party? Gotta be a few. At least, yeah.
At least two. Gotta be a few.
More than one. Because I feel like that is the new, hey, you know what, I know how to play? It's like playing Freebird on your guitar.
Like, I know how to, oh, I fucking know how to play Secession theme song, and everyone's looking at you. I'm actually shocked that there hasn't been a rap song that comes out that samples that as the backup track.

It would be fire.

Yeah, it should.

What?

There was.

Oh, it was fire?

It was kind of disappointing, to be honest.

Okay, well, then some, as far as we know, there hasn't been one, so it's open for anyone else to do it.

Right?

Yeah, agreed.

For our years.

For our elder years, right? Okay, what else we got? College basketball. Hank, did you see the poll I put up? Shocking results.
I did not. Over 30,000 people want Coach K fired.
Wow. So I put up a poll when they were getting the shit kicked out of them by UNC.
I said, should Coach K retire after this game or after the ACC tournament?

So that's different.

That's different.

That's not firing.

Or sorry, retiring.

When should he retire?

Retire.

I actually agree with the first statement you made.

I would look very hard at firing Coach K if I was Duke right now.

But people want him to retire.

They want him gone.

I don't know if he's earned the right to make that decision about when he retires.

Yeah.

Season's not over.

ACC tournament.

He doesn't even care.

That was – he didn't care.

No fight.

Yeah, it was bad.

Sad.

It was – they laid down and died.

Yeah, they did.

Yes, they did.

Do you think he is no longer in touch with the youth of America?

I mean, he's an older guy.

I think he's done a good job bringing in, you know, the Nolan Smiths,

the younger coaches, to stay in touch with the younger guys instead of trying to be like, you know, how you doing, fellow kids? It's a tough year, man. So you're saying he doesn't communicate with his players anymore? No, he's fucking old, dude.
He's an old man. What exactly does Coach K do these days? He inspires.
He gives wisdom of teaching the greatest basketball players in the world. What, other teams? You're right.
He does like to teach other teams. He coached USA Basketball.
All the pros, any player that comes to Duke, he can be like, hey, all your favorite players, I coached all of them, and they all love me because I'm Coach K. What other coach can say that, PFT? I don't know.
I don't see Coach K walking away. I see the Duke Board of Regents.
I'm just going to make that up. they're gonna have to sit in the institution that's what the institution is gonna have to see Illuminati yeah actually do you think that you think coach K here's how he can save his job we all talk about how he takes the D away from players you're not allowed to wear the D he needs to paint over the K on the court he should not have that initial he should not be not only be allowed to dye his hair.
Yeah, that's right.

Go gray.

Go gray.

Mix it up a little bit.

Do the opposite of Colin Coward.

That would actually work.

Yeah, it probably would.

Because, like, Roy Williams definitely is that.

If he went gray, you would be like, wow.

Well, I mean, it's a great opportunity.

Don't make fun of him.

Yeah, it's a great opportunity to teach your kids, like, look at all these gray hairs

you've given me this year.

I was great until this group of players really screwed me up. Yeah.
his best player is not on the team anymore. So, what do you expect? They were better without him.
Are you going to say he quit? No, he just made a business decision. Don't use that Q word.
He made a business decision. What other big news did we have from the weekend? Jake, do you want to give us the rundown? There was chaos.
CBS Sports Minute. Sorry about the Vermont.
So there was chaos in the mid-major conference tournament world. On Saturday, five number one seeds lost in their conference tournament.
Today, another one lost too. Uh-oh.
It's all a blur. There's so many games.
James Madison. James Madison.
Yep. That's who it was, yes.
So, there's chaos on that end. Bad week for Dukes all around.
This time last week, we were talking about how Michigan might be the best team in the country. Then they lose.
Yep. Baylor is now back to full strength.
They kicked the crap out of Texas Tech. Illinois is the best team.
Illinois is probably the last number one seed. And at the end of this, Gonzaga is still the only undefeated team last year.
I love, by the way, how Jake, you stress enunciation, pronunciation about everything. You said earlier today the worst thing you can do is mispronounce a player's name on a broadcast.
And you've just been around college basketball so long that you hit the strength really well. I love that.
Length and strength. It's the only time that you ever hear it pronounced that way.
I also saw that, did you see Travis Ford, coach of St. Louis, complain about gym playing time? No, I didn't.
It was very good, petty college basketball shit. So the A-10 tournament was playing in...
It was half Richmond, half ECU. Yeah, so they played in two different gyms.
So St. Louis had to play St.
Bonnie's in the gym that St. Bonnie's had played in the night before.
Okay. St.
Bonnie's was the one seed. Yeah.
So they probably should, like, they also were getting to wear white jerseys, and like, you didn't. But he kept on complaining that that's why they lost.
They got more time. They were used to it.
Yeah that there's something about a college basketball i mean i guess it's college football too we we always laugh about that but college uh men's basketball and college football coaches scorned they feel like the world has screwed them over and they get so so upset and upset, and they sound so petty, and it's awesome to watch every time.

I am enjoying the rivalry that's starting to bubble up between the Big 12

and the Big 10.

Not a rivalry.

Well, you hear people be like, you know, the Big 10's got – they're deeper.

They've got a lot of boys there.

The Big 12, the teams at the top are better than teams at the top of the Big 10.

Disagree.

We'll find out soon enough.

Yeah, because Gonzaga will probably win it all.

Yeah.

Which I'm –

They have to get in first.

Shout out to the Pac-12.

They have to get in first.

Technically, right now, as of this podcast recording,

there's only five teams who have punched a ticket.

Yeah, true.

Good point.

Five auto bins.

You know what? I'm setting the law down right now. If Gonzaga does not go to the Pac-12, actually, within the next five years, they're on a fraud countdown.
You're on a fraud countdown. Four teams, sorry.
Starting right now, would you say five years and an acceptable time limit for them? Yes. Anything longer than that, and you're doing it for your Mickey Mouse game.
You know what? I'm going to give them... So I'm going to actually say they can go to the Mountain West.
Okay. Because the Pac-12 is tough for them because of the football.
They don't play football, I don't think, in Gonzaga. Not well.
If they go to the Mountain West, I'll start to think a little bit more. You know, Utah State, San Diego State.
Seems like a lateral move. Boise, Colorado State.
No, but at least there are some good teams there. They have to play some of the big boys.
I think Mark Few is scared of Mick Cronin. I'm scared of Mick Cronin.
Probably. And, yeah, I mean, he's probably actually scared of Dana Altman.
He should be, by the way, he's the new January, February, it should be Altman, right, Jake? Yeah, I guess so. He's Oregon every year.
They do this. Where it's like, they look bad.
16 as a 12. Oh, sorry.
Last tournament. It's fine.
12-5 game. That's fine.
I don't give a fuck. Wisconsin's.
You know what? Give me the stat. I don't want to hurt your feelings.
No, no. My feelings aren't hurt.
Give me the stat, though. So, Bo Borowski, who's a Big Ten official.
I don't complain about officials, by the way. I just listen to stats.
Wisconsin is 16-11 this year. 2-8 with Bo Borowski on the floor donning the stripes.
14-3 without him. Wow.
Wow. The end of that game was just painful to watch.
Yeah, we're talking about the Iowa-Wisconsin game. It was horrible.
I mean, this is a problem. I don't want to be accused of stealing our friend Rosillo's take, even though it's a take that I think everyone with a brain should have but he does say it more eloquently but review in NBA and college basketball has ruined the watchability of basketball games because it just the last five minutes take forever and they look at every little piece of the game and did it go off this guy did this guy like they were reviewing oh man his shoulder kind of went into his chin is that a flagrant it was unwatchable they need to dial it back they need to make very specific rules of what you can and can't review like i i actually don't mind the uh which person deflected this ball out of bounds the only problem with them using in this game was it was after they had done three reviews already, and so it's like, oh, God, here comes another one.
But the stuff where it's like what part of the body made contact with what part of the other guy's body, that's too much for me. Here's what I want.
I want there to be a shot clock. I want there to be a shot clock on reviews because not only would it speed it up and make it, like if you can't figure it out within 30 seconds stop right but we'd also get the beautiful moment which happens sometimes in college games when if you can think back far enough when there were fans in the stands and they would and and a good student section would fake someone out on the shot clock if we could fake out a ref being like five, four, three, two, one,

he's got 10 seconds left, would be the greatest moment ever.

That'd be great.

Or they could go, you know how they always use those TVs

that are like the size of the R. Kelly TV

or the Michael Scott plasma screen on the wall?

If they could go to actually using screens that were like even half that size.

And if you can't tell what happened on a seven-inch TV, you can get as close to it as you want. If you can't tell what happened on the 7-inch TV, call on the court stance.
Yeah. It was impossible to watch the end of that game.
It was. It was terrible.
Or just have it be, you know what? It should be like 10 random fans in the front row, and they get a buzzer, and they get to decide. Okay.
Majority rules. I like that.
It makes it even harder to win on the road. I also like, I feel like Luca Garza is, uh, he, maybe he's eating his way out of Iowa.
He's, he's put on some pounds this year. He's announced they're retiring his number immediately after the game.
Here's the problem. Luca Garza.
I do not like Luca Garza. Uh, but it's a moment where it's like a spider-man meme because my hatred for luca garza is pretty much everyone else's hatred for every white guy at wisconsin yep so i realize i have to simmer it down because i can't be vocal be like fuck that he's not that good he's just fucking tall and he's like oh yeah he plays fundamental whatever fuck that i'm just telling on myself yeah so i'm going to let it pass.
He's a great player. A big guy that looks like he orders extra mayo and everything.
Frustrating to play defense again. He doesn't play defense.
Also, no, frustrating to play defense against because he's very sweaty. And every time you try to guard him, you look like that scene in Long King Polly where your face just slides down his big wet arm.
He's a monster. He's a huge

huge person. Also, Wisconsin should

only be allowed to have a Davison

or a Bohannon on the floor

at any given time. They can't be

allowed to have all these guys

out there. What do you mean? I'm just saying

you should only be allowed. It's kind of like the

Duke theory. There should be one guy that you

hate on the floor at any given time.

No, Iowa's got the Bohannon. His brother went to Wisconsin.
A player like that. Wait, I had one other college thing.
Oh, Illinois was very impressive. That was very impressive.
And Oklahoma State won without Cade Cunningham at West Virginia. So it's the Cade Cunningham theory.
Your best player's out. You actually play better.
Bryce Harperthesis. Interesting.
But he's also different than Jalen Johnson. He's number one pick in the draft.
I'm very woke about Cade Cunningham. Yeah.
He just, every game that I've watched of his, which admittedly is probably less than 10. I know one of them that you're referring to.
But every game that I've watched with him, he does something where I'm like, well, that was laughably hilarious. Well, he did like four of them

in the game we watched together

against Texas.

Against Texas.

Yes.

There was that one.

I think that's totally...

If you can't make a take on a player

based off of one game that you've watched him,

I don't want to live on it.

That's fair because I think that's

when I established my baseline take

and then every other time I've watched him,

I've been like, prove me wrong.

Right.

And he hasn't proved me wrong yet. Right.
Is Oklahoma State allowed in, Jake? Have they decided that yet? As long as the NCAA doesn't make a ruling, the appeal will pen through. Through.
That's smart. Okay.
Because that would be crazy if they wouldn't let him in. The NCAA could do it over the next five days, but that's crazy.
And then maybe Gonzaga would steal their bid if they didn't win the WCC. BYU could be that bid stealer.
All I'm saying is I can't believe people are opting to watch an interview of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle when Oregon is finally at full strength. That's actually – strength, excuse me.
That's John Rothstein. John Rothstein tweeted that out.
Yeah. I love him on Twitter.
He's the best. He's the best.
All right, so speaking of basketball, we're watching the NBA All-Star game right now. They've ruined it with the Elam ending, which, Billy, thank you for explaining that to us.
Why are you not giving the right person credit? Oh, Elam. Elam should be getting the credit.
Jason Elam? Nope. You? You did that.
You didn't explain it. Billy was like...
Plus 24 entering the. No, Billy was like, it's like playing pickup.
You go first to 21 when you play pickup, except in this, the number's different. Yeah.
That made perfect sense. So the actual game, I still don't understand why they're doing an all-star game, but the dunk contest happened.
Who won the dunk contest? I have no idea. Simon Simmons, the guy from Portland.

Okay, the guy that jumped really high.

That's a made up.

That guy.

The guy that looked down at the rim as he jumped.

We fixed the, before we did the show.

Anthony Simons.

Oh, I thought his name, that's why I thought it was made up when he said Simon Simmons.

I was like, that's not a real name.

Simon Simmons.

I was just doubling, I was hedging the correct pronunciation.

Simon Simmons.

Simon Simmons sounds like a caddy. I was like, that guy doesn't exist.
Simon Simmons. Yeah, Anthony Simmons.
Penny Simmons. Right, but it only has one M.
That's why it may have looked like Simon. Got it.
So we came up with a fix to the dunk contest because they've done all the dunks. They need to just make the dunk contest.
It should be themed every single year. So, like, one year it should be who can dunk from the farthest away.

One year, what did we say?

The highest rim.

Highest rim.

The heaviest ball.

Heaviest ball.

Who can dunk with the most clothes on.

The worst shoes wearing.

So, like, someone's dunking in Timberlands.

High heels would be great.

Roller skates.

Yeah.

Imagine if someone dunks in roller skates.

Ice skates.

Ice.

Yeah.

Uh-huh. Yeah.
Who can be wearing the pair of pants that fits the worst? Do that. Have it be a theme year.
Oh, in a suit. If they're all wearing suits, I would watch that.
Yes. Naked.
A dress. Can you do it naked? Mm-hmm.
Because that's scary. I probably would not watch that.
Yeah. What? You fall on your penis? That would hurt.
Way more injured. That would hurt.
Imagine falling right on your dick. And it just mushed up.
If you don't think a little bit of clothes stops all kinds of injuries, you're crazy. I think they should do a rebounding contest.
Yeah. And listen to this.
Well, I know they do the bunting contest in the Korean All-Star game for baseball. They should do a rebounding contest where it's like Jokic, but he's got a blindfold on.
And so there's somebody just shooting bricks. It's like, oh, it's Ben Simmons.
Have Ben Simmons be like the all-time shooter guy. And then Jokic is just in the paint with a blindfold on hearing and feeling where the rebound is going to go.
See how many people can get rebounds. Like you get 20 rebounds to try.
See how many you can get out of 20. That'd be sick.
I like that. I'd watch that.
So, yeah, Mike Greenberg's dumb rules. We just fixed it.
But, yeah, I really don't understand. Like, the all-star games, they just don't.
Baseball's really the only all-star game that really actually works because you can't not throw hard. You know what I mean? And it's one-on-one.
It's just like no one's even playing. I guess if they just had Steph Curry just shooting from half court for three hours, that would be better.
I like that. When he was doing the three-point contest, which he won easily, that contest should just be renamed the RU Steph Curry contest.
If you're Steph Curry, you win. Congratulations.
What if it was East versus West again, and the winning team got more salary cap room for the next year? Ooh, that would be cool. Then people would play hard? That would be very cool.
Yeah. Because you can't do the finals home court advantage.
Right. That doesn't really work out that well.
They get one extra mid-level exception. Yeah, there you go.
One extra guy. Veteran, yeah.
What if they made him play handball? Sure. All-star teams.
Yeah. Best athletes in the world.
Handball players. All right.
Let's do who's back. And then we got Guy Fieri.
Very excited about this interview. Nothing happened in football this weekend, right? Oh, Russell Wilson just really wants to be traded.
Yeah, that's still kind of like bubbling out there. Yeah.
Josh Gordon caught a touchdown pass in the fan-controlled football. Oh, he did? A Hail Mary.
A walk-off Hail Mary good for him that's significant yeah the russell wilson thing it feels like he really wants to get traded even though he hasn't fully said he wants to get traded but for someone who hasn't said trade me he's done everything else i saw somebody put the theory out there i don't have the name in front of me it was a tweet that i saw a couple days ago but the theory was like what if the bears sent uh a shitload of picks to the texans texans send deshaun watson to seattle russell wilson sends or uh seattle sends russell wilson to chicago done three-way trade done i think everybody's happy whatever i don't care jack easterby pretends that he's reloading this is the best like three weeks of my life that russell wilson could potentially be a bear yeah it's really the best um all right let's do who's back the week we're gonna get right back to the show spring fest and ego days are here at lowe's right now get a free select ego 56 volt battery with purchase of a select trim, or mower kit.

All right, back to part of my take. I got a couple.
First one is our guy, Bryson DeChambeau. What did he do? Math.
I know it's on a Bryson podcast. He did a math.
He did have an unbelievable drive. He drove it like 360 yards over.
Yeah, but he didn't win. Over the lake.
No, he did win. Fuck.
But then what happened? So he must have gotten at least an eagle on that hole, right? I don't know, but all I gotta say is that the video was electric if you watch the video, it's tough to not smile and be like wow, that was a cool shot. I had a perfectly easy time watching it and not smiling it.
This is we're gonna get're going to do a segment about Trevor Bauer later, but someone did point out to me that liking Trevor Bauer and hating Bryson DeChambeau is very contradictory. So I'm trying to deal with that in my head.
I also saw that there was one instance where Bryson, he hit his approach shot past the green into the rough and because there was a sprinkler head near his foot he was like I get relief from the sprinkler head and then he got to take his drop essentially on the green as opposed to in the rough because technically he understood that rule meanwhile Lee Westwood has to hit the ball out of a divot that Bryson probably made himself three days earlier on the fairway. It doesn't make sense to me.
You know what? Forget it. That was a stupid thought by me.
We're Brooks Koepka guys. We're homosexuals.
We're not going to do anything else. Who's back is Tom Wilson being a scumbag? Oh, yes, he is.
You took mine, except it was the NHL's hatred of Tom Wilson. Oh, got it.
There's never been... I can't remember what year it was that I argued with our colleague Nate and his entire argument was Tom Wilson's never been suspended from a regular season game.
And then since then, it's like, how many games has he been suspended? Well, so I went back, I looked at the stats of Tom Wilson and this is a new Tom Wilson that we're dealing with right now. In fact, under the NHL's own laws, they're not considering his passing fractions because he's been squeaky clean the last year and a half, two years.
Got it. So it's been a couple years since he's been suspended.
Yeah. He hasn't been suspended for this type of play since 2018.
It carries over, obviously. No, because it was so long ago.
I don't even remember the last time this happened. So how many suspensions did he have? Hank's just upset because he beat the shit.
Well, no, I think if you're a scumbag and you get suspended for being a scumbag, and then two years later you do a scumbag move, it should carry over. Two years later, Hank, think back to yourself two years ago.
You didn't even have a dog. You were a completely different person.
You lost the plot here. No, I'm just saying people change over the course of two years.
But he hasn't. He's the same guy.
If I still didn't have a dog, then your argument would be correct. He's still doing it.
No, he's clumsy. He's very clumsy.
Yeah. It just keeps happening to him.
But it hasn't happened for two years. Oh, wow.
Okay. Whatever.
The other thing I was going to say is that I do like the NHL season. I haven't murdered anyone in two years.
Where the Bruins play the Capitals like every other day. It's kind of fun.
It is. I do like that aspect of it.
Because every time that there's a series. Like who we play tonight.
Oh, the Capitals. There's some bad blood that develops over the course of those games.
If anything, the NHL should be thanking Tom Wilson for making the game relevant right now because people are talking about it. I also learned that I just have no idea what an illegal hit in hockey is.
And you can see it. Because people were playing, they were showing the replay of it, and people were like, this guy's a huge scumbag.
And I was like, I'm sure that there's something that's egregious about the hit, but it looks no different to me than hits that I see like 10 times a game. Yeah, no, it's hockey Twitter debating hits is always fun.
Yeah. Because you can just really argue whatever way you want.

Exactly.

And speaking of scumbag hits, Peter Jan, all-time bad beat,

if you had Peter Jan this weekend,

he, like, need his opponent with 30 seconds left in the fight that he easily won.

He didn't need to do it.

He just need him in the head.

Why?

He got DQ'd.

I don't know.

He said his corner, he said he looked over his corner and was like, should I hit him? And they said yes, even though the ref was like, he's down, he's on his knee. And so he just said he was listening to his corner, but he just like, fuck the guy up.
He did the Mortal Kombat finish him. Literally.
PFT, I'm looking at his timeline right now. The only time he hasn't been suspended was literally just last year.
Last year, no suspensions. In a COVID shortened year.
But the. But the year before that, it was at the start of the year.
Oh, okay, okay. So essentially that's an extra year.
I'm scrolling down. It's like 2018, 2016, 2017.
But if you look at how the NHL judges suspensions, they're not taking into account those hits. And this is probably my favorite part about Tom Wilson,son is that the capitals video staff has been cutting up clips of tom wilson not hitting people dirty nice and sending them to the league office for the last couple years being like look he's learning he's not doing what you would think that tom wilson would be doing they made like a highlight clip of him laying off people's heads that's smart and don't get me wrong if tom wilson played on the penguins i him.
Yes. I would be probably leading the charge to get him kicked out of the NHL.
But he doesn't. And that's just a fact.
I, God, I miss fucking fans in the stands so bad. Brent Seabrook retired officially on Friday.
And I was at Game 7 2013 when they beat the Red Wings in the second round. Overtime game 7 goal.
I watched the clip back and I got chills and I almost got teary eyed being like remember life with fans in the stand? Remember going to a sports game? You know what I was thinking about? You remember bar hopping? You remember like sometimes we used to do this Billy you've probably never done this. No he actually hasn't.
You just turned 21. But what we used to do back in the day, you would go out with your friends to a bar, and then you'd be like, oh, my friends are at this other bar that's like a five-minute walk.
Then you'd go to that bar later, and then you'd go to another bar, and then someone would say like, hey, you want to do karaoke? And then you'd be like, no, I just did karaoke last week, so you'd go to a different bar. And then you'd go to another bar, and then at 2.30 in the morning, you'd all go home, and you'd be hammered, and it would be awesome.
And then then at two 30 in the morning, you'd all go home and you'd be hammered and it would be awesome.

And then you'd wake up in the morning with pictures from all these different bars you were at with other people.

It was honestly amazing.

He's confused.

He doesn't know what this is. That's a lot of you can move around.

And then you'd have to go back to one of the bars because you left your credit card.

One of them.

Yeah.

And you didn't know which one it got.

Close my tab out.

Were they all crowded?

I'm honestly super excited to leave my debit card behind at a bar for the first time in a year and a half. Alright, do you have a who's back or that was it? Well, that was one of mine.
So, the other one's going to be who's back is the United States emasculating British royalty because Megan and Prince what's his name? Did an interview with Oprah Charles? No, Harry. No, Charles is I think he's the one that's dying the one that always looks like he's a corpse that's the one that I it was almost a Laker Dan situation I bashed him in front of troops last week and then he like had emergency surgery on his heart that guy's no chance he's actually alive yeah no he's that Al Davis level.
Yeah, it's bad. Where it's like when Al Davis sat last year, it was like, dude, I think you're actually dead.
It's bad. But so basically Oprah was doing an interview just being like, spill the tea.
It was just a tea party. But Prince Andrew tea.
That's another time we've emasculated the British, by the way. And so they had Megan talk about all the behind-scenes dirt.
It looked really bad for the British royalty. And it's just kind of a nice throwback to the last couple hundred years.
It's so bizarre to me that they even still have a royal family. But I'm almost to the point where I think that America should just have a king and queen, too.
Because instantly people will care more about our king and queen than the British king and queen. Well, we do.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Ed Ogeron and Lola Bunny would be a great combination.
Are they officially? The old Lola Bunny. They're officially divorced? Mm-hmm.
God damn it. Okay.
What were you going to say, Hank? About them? Just the monarchy in general general is a very confusing concept.

I get it, but I don't get it.

It's Prince Harry.

No.

Yeah, Harry and Meghan.

Harry.

And then William and Kate, right?

Prince Harry could have...

It could have been a five-minute interview

and been like,

listen,

it sucked being a ginger

in the royal family.

People didn't respect me.

End of story.

And if your name's Harry

and you're going bald,

you've got to get plugs. Well, no, he's not going bald he's very his brother oh yeah his brother's very bald this is in the back yeah oh they had a nice angle especially in the back they had a nice angle you got it like he did the carlos boozer like spray to the front of it yeah yeah um all right my who's back is just joe linardi and in bracketology and blind resumes i fucking love it i've been eating it up i'm looking at brackets every day up and down he still is in his bunker he actually was

like nothing has changed for him he was already doing covid protocols for the last 20 years him

and adam morrison were the two most prepared people going into 2020 it's incredible so he's

just sitting in his basement getting ready on his grainy like half the time it doesn't even come in clear, but he's just in there.

That's the charm of it.

Breaking it all down.

Yep.

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, incredible so he's just sitting in his basement getting ready on his grainy like half the time

it doesn't even come in clear but he's just in there that's the charm of it with him though like it would look weird if he was in hd and he had all these like touch screens behind him and he turned into steve kornacki all of a sudden like i like the old school throwback eight-bit joe linardi there's something comforting about that i have a theory though i think jo Joe Lenardi is secretly miserable because in 2021, it's the Mel Kuyper theory, right? Mel Kuyper was the king forever because he was the only one who was doing it. Now there's a shitload of people who do draft stuff.
Todd McShay is, I'll say it, way better than Mel at the job, right? I think Joe Lenardi is just constantly looking over his shoulder. Like, there's going to be a kid someday that comes and just nails it every single year.
And if I slip up, if I put BYU on the 9th seed and they end up being a 10, it's curtains for me, Joe Linardi. Jeff D'Lo and I were thinking about doing bracketology on the website next year.
Exactly. See? And if you get it perfect, it will be a story.
I mean. No, but I'm serious.

Sure.

Yeah.

So I think it has to be secretly miserable to be Joe Linardi because he's got one thing.

He's been doing it forever.

And if some kid who's got like a stronger calculator comes along and figures it out, he's going to be screwed.

So is it a conflict of interest for him to be an employee of a college that he's evaluating, but also the head of this evaluation department? That's also Jeff's biggest issues is when St. Joseph's is on the bubble.
Yeah, but he always puts him in. Exactly.
It's like A-Rod, no offense, it's like A-Rod commentating on ESPN on baseball. On what? I'm just saying it's a conflict of interest because he's...
Of baseball in general? No, because A-Rod has business relationships with the Mets, right? No. What team is he...
I think you're using it for Jessica Mendoza. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
But A-Rod would have stayed at ESPN. I don't know.
If he had bought the Mets, I don't think so. You don't think so? No.
If he had actually bought the Mets, Probably not. Not that I care.
I mean, it would have been funny if he tried to and commentated his own games. But alright, so you're going to do it, Jake.
Bracketology next season? Yeah. Sure.
Okay. Also, Jessica Mendoza left the Mets job, so scratch that.
Okay. But she left ESPN.
Jessica Mendoza will leave Mets job. She will shift her focus to her broadcasting role for ESPN.
Oh, okay. So that was a conflict of interest.
Yeah. All right.
Billy, you got a who's back? I have two who's backs real quick. College baseball is back.
Absolute electricity. You know, BC scored nine runs in the bottom of the ninth to come back and win.
It was insane. You know, like the two-lane pitcher, you know, just all the posturing.
Like Virginia Tech has a home run hammer. It's pretty electric.
Shout out to Jared Karabas, who's been covering it. Like, it's so electric.
The home run hammer? Go off about that. What is the home run hammer? If you hit a home run, you get to take a sledgehammer and slam it while your whole team's around you hyping you up.
That is pretty cool. That is so hype.
That's electric. That is so hype.
I got to hold a sledgehammer at senior night. It was pretty cool.
Dude, that's so hype. Anyway, also.
I also like the sound that the ball makes off the bat in college. I would like to see a baseball game, like a major league baseball game, where they just overdub the ping instead of the sound of the wood on the ball.
It's so much better. And anyway, good old-fashioned ass whooping is my other who's back.
Tim Elliott during the UFC card was beating up his opponent,

and he was over him, and he was like, he brought up,

he was like, I heard you beat up a woman in 2008.

Well, what are you going to do?

Are you going to do the same thing?

It was just pretty hype.

That is hype.

That's super hype.

Yeah.

So old-fashioned ass-whooping is back.

Yes.

And sledgehammers.

Yep.

Yep. And ping.
Ping. Yeah.
Okay. Jake, you got anything? The chills.
Every time March Madness theme song plays on CBS, I just get the chills. It is nice, yeah.
It's the best. Time of year.
I think that it officially starts, too, when we get Arch Madness. When Arch Madness is played, it always feels like, okay, here we go.
When CBS starts shifting from NFL to college basketball, that's when you know it, too. Yeah.
Mid-February, Sunday afternoon. And then we still have Gene Steratore telling us the rules on a Sunday afternoon.
He was a Big Ten official. Yeah, no, he is.
I love that part about it. And also, when you first hear the CBS music, you know that the Masters music's coming next.
Uh-huh. You know that that's about to happen.
You're about to hear Jim Nance. Hello, friends.
It really is. Again, I think we've talked about this, but having March Madness back this year, I'll never get over last year.
Ever. I will be on my dying bed.
I was entrenched in a program that could have been a Cinderella team. It got snatched away from us.
I did, by the way, have my first winning day in probably forever today.

So watch out.

I'm getting hot at the right time.

Positive odds.

At the right time.

Yep.

Watch out.

Let's go.

The war yesterday.

I went 11-12.

23 games.

That's an insane amount.

I had an opinion on.

It's just a battle.

I mean, never out of it.

But some of those, you don't really have an opinion on.

Oh, I had an opinion on every single one of them.

You're just looking at the matchup. I had an opinion.
I feel like this number is a big number. I do the same thing every Saturday morning.
At 11 o'clock, I just stare at the whole thing. And I go down.
I'm like that, like that, like that, like that. And then I'll go back.
And I'll make sure I didn't miss any injury stuff. Sometimes I still do.
And if I end up with 23 plays, I end up with 23 plays. So how many games are on day one of the NCAA? 16 games? Well, there's four on Thursday.
It's not that ridiculous because I definitely have opinions on 16 games. No, I bet every single game.
You've got to bet every single game. Yeah, of course.
Every single game. If you have a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
All right, let's get... And the Bed Bath & Beyond brawl and good old-fashioned ass kickings.
What is that? There's just a fight in Bed Bath & Beyond. Hell yeah.
Yeah, when they try not to accept that 20% coupon that you have that's like seven years old. I love it.
How else are you going to settle that? Bed Bath & Beyond, not a fighting store. Oh, yeah, it is.
Billy, you've never been there when they have, like, that KitchenAid mixer and there's just one of them left.

People get real pissed off about that.

I also think it's kind of like Ikea where Ikea and, like, Bed Bath & Beyond are miserable couple stores.

So, like, there's already tension.

You go in with tension. So if anyone steps to you, it's on right away.
You're not happy to be in bed, bathing on a Saturday. Top three fighting stores.
Well, Walmart's number one. Yeah, Walmart's definitely up there.
Publix. I would say a Crystal Burger post 1 a.m.
It had to be a department store. Okay, Waffle House.
Walmart, not a department store. Yeah, but Waffle House.
Walmart. Who? Who? A Lowe's.
Yeah. Home Depot? No, Home Depot runs a tight ship.
They run a tight ship. You can't fight in Home Depot because it's all Olympic athletes that work there and they'll kick your ass.
You could just throw Sam's Club, Costco into one. Home Depot, there's a lot of camaraderie.
Yeah. Everyone's helping each other.
You've got a guy that's next to you telling you about the tools that you're looking at and making suggestions. There's like a gold medalist that's showing you where the fucking wood nails are.
It's crazy. Yeah, it's patriotic.
Everyone wants to help each other at Home Depot. sure.
Actually, I would say like a party depot or a party city. Yeah.
Probably has a lot of fights. Maybe an old school.
Now, this is dating us, Billy. Don't make fun of us.
But like a Toys R Us. Yeah.
Could get a little. A hobby lobby.
A hobby lobby maybe right after church. Tractor supply.
Yeah. Uh-huh.
UFC gloves store.

Ah, a fight shop.

Yeah, a fight shop.

I mean, the answer is easy.

GNC.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Although that's kind of like Home Depot.

Got bros just helping each other out.

Yeah, but then the guy tells you something.

He's like, no, I already read that thread on bodybuilding.com for bodybuilding.com.

Dude, I remember I went into a GNC when I was like, I don't know, probably 19 years old,

trying to get gains. and I walked in.

I was like,

I'm looking for something that like,

I'm looking for something that like, I'm looking for something that like, I'm looking for get gains. And I walked in.
I was like, I'm looking for something that I can put on muscle and cut fat. And the guy goes to me dead serious.
He's like, all right, yeah, I'm going to get you these things. They're round and they usually are black and they're in different sizes and you have to lift them repeatedly and i was like

yeah and he's like i'm talking about weights dude you gotta fucking lift weights i'm like god damn it it's just so sad all right cool you fucking own me man and then i ended up buying a bunch of creatine uh all right let's do uh guy fieri uh wait how'd you pronounce that creatine no fieri Fieri.

Creatine? Creatine?

There's people in this office who are... Wait, how'd you pronounce that? Creatine? No.
Fieri. Fieri.
Fieri.

Creatine?

Creatine?

There's people in this office who are... It's great getting to this point of our career where we have 19-year-olds in the office and

they're...

They're discovering creatine.

They're like, ooh, creatine.

Like, yeah, dude, you're just going to feel bloated.

Yeah, you're going to shit through a keyhole.

You're going to be able to poop through a screen door. And Billy's just prescribing it left and right.
I'm going to get a little Sasquatch jacked by the end of... Okay.

Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest.

Long overdue.

We've wanted him on the show for a very long time.

It is the one and only Mayor of Flavortown, Guy Fieri.

He's here.

Tournament of Champions is debuting on Sunday night, March 7th.

Sorry, March 7th. I got my dates right.
Check it out on Food Network, you can also watch it on Hulu, Guy we are so excited for this interview and I actually, we just said it before we started, my first question is, I got into the office at around 845 walking behind me was someone with huge bags of food from your restaurant. Now, was this specially for us, or do you give food to every podcast you go on? Well, considering that you're the only podcast that I'm on today, it's only for you.
Perfect. Perfect.
It was something special to see at 9 in the morning. Just so you know, I sent you like four kitchens worth of food.
Yeah. So I know that there's got to be a bunch of folks around there that are hungry.
And being in this food industry my whole life, I know that there's nothing worse than talking about food and not getting to taste the food. So I wanted to make sure that you were all taken care of and more to come.
Now, this is a great – this Flavortown kitchen has been unbelievable. You know, our industry has been hit so hard, and I know you all highlight food on a regular basis, and love Dave and his work of his pizza reviews.
I got to tell you, the industry got hit so hard, the industry's had to pivot and change, and I think that the guests and the consumers are out, you know, the people are out there eating are realizing that delivery and to-go are such a great new medium. You can't, you know, there's not enough seats.
A lot of restaurants aren't even open for in-house dining, especially on the East Coast. And it's just not, they're just not going to make enough money on doing it on 25% occupancy.
So everybody has really switched gears into delivery. So having a bunch of restaurants around the country already and wanting to expand that, we said, listen, let's find some restaurant partners that have big kitchens and have staff that they want to keep employed and keep working.
And let's set up some Guy Fieri, you know, American Kitchen and Bar, some Flavortown, and make it available across countries. So we're at 150 locations, 25, 30 cities now, and expanding.
So I'm glad, and I hope you guys enjoy it. Oh, yeah.
Some of my greatest hits. I loved it.
And that's a genius idea, like taking places that already have the infrastructure that need people, have people that might not have enough work at the time, and then them an opportunity to continue working as a restaurant and shut down that's very cool i had i think this is the first time i've ever had like half a bacon cheeseburger and a cubano sandwich for breakfast yeah i had a wing at 9 a.m before 10 a.m uh and it was hot and i was like how does guy how does this happen as you said we need to hang out more often yeah we need to hang out more often. I need to get you in a championship diet here.
This is how we do it. I mean, we roll out early with the bacon, mac, and cheese, the Cuban sandwich, some big poppers, and a few wings, a little queso dip.
This is – we should – it's probably going to be dangerous if we hang out, though. I don't know.
It's going to hurt. Almost too much flavor, I think, in one room.
Do you ever get sick of sick of talking about food you know i could throw it right back to you guys and say do you ever get sick of talking about sports or ever get sick of talking about you know crazy things or you know no i mean it's it's what's in my blood it's what i've always done it's what i love and and anything all things and everything that have to do with food i mean i i read menus uh like novels. You know, I sit there and I went to – we were just at a Cuban restaurant in Florida the other day.
And I'm sitting there and I made my decision about what I was going to have. And my wife said, well, what are you doing? And I said, well, I'm just reading the rest of the menu.
She goes, what are you reading? And I'm like, well, I just want to see what, you know, what they're talking about here with these things, these descriptions. And why did they put that menu item there and not here? You know, no, this is what I, you know, it's what I do.
It's what I enjoy. I read cookbooks for fun.
So it's, no, never get sick of it. And the great thing is, it's kind of just like the world of sports as well.
It's never the same thing tomorrow. You know, it's just evolving forever.
You'll never know it all about it as well. That's my other favorite thing.
It's new every day. You really have to have a passion for it, considering I'm sure that everybody that talks to you, they just want to talk about food.
That's like the first thing that they bring up. So you have to actually be in love with it to be able to continue like this.
This has been your life for the last, what, like 35, 40 years. You really have to be like zeroed in on it and really enjoy it to continue to do what you're doing.
Well, it's kind of like when someone comes up and talks to you about something. It's nice to talk to people that know something about it.
It's when they come in and they go, oh, I hate that kind of food. And I go, why? Well, because I hate vegetables.
All right, I don't know that we're going to talk much. You're not coming off on a foundation of reality.
That makes it a little difficult to engage. But the world has changed about food, or at least our world has in the United States, has changed about food dramatically, especially and unfortunately, we've had the pandemic, but you got to find the silver lining out of things.
And people really learned more about food. I think in this last year, they've learned to cook better.
I know that for a fact. They've learned to accept different styles of food because they've had to and different cultures of food.

And I think when you open up your mind, when you open up your palate to food, I think you open up your mind. I think you open up and say, oh, let me understand about this type of Eastern European food or this Indian food or this, you know, this culture of food or wow, this preparation style.
You know, why is this done? And I just think it's – food represents a lot more than just the consumption of calories or consumption of proteins. It's a consumption of the – it's an experience.
Like eating a bacon, mac, and cheeseburger in a studio at 8 o'clock in New York. Yes.
So the one thing that I love about you guys is that you are you, and I mean that in the way that you are authentic to yourself and you make food fun. And you were talking about, you know, correlating to us talking about sports.
When we started this podcast, we kind of always said, well, let's have fun with it. You know, it shouldn't be serious.
When you started Triple D, did you have that as a conscious decision? Like, hey, I'm going to be something for the people, for the common people.

Or was it I'm just following what I love and eventually it's going to work out?

I guys, I wish I could remember that far back when I started Triple D.

I, you know, as you guys get older, you'll start to realize you start to lose some of that connection.

It evolved.

First, what it started as is and I honestly like the first year or two years that we did it, I'm like, well, this will go on a couple of years, you know, and then we'll be done. And then all of a sudden I realized, oh my God, this country is so huge.
This world of food is so much bigger than I even imagined. And this will happen forever.
I mean, I'll be doing this thing in a walker, trying to get my son Hunter to figure it out now, you know, put on some weight kid and, uh, you start, you know, dry, you know how to drive a stick shift. You're gonna have to take over in a few years.
It's what it has become. What it always was for me is here's a great chance to show all these small little restaurant owners, these mom and pops.
And I'm a mom. I was a mom and pop restaurant at the time.
Hey, here's a great way to give them a ton of attention, send a bunch of people to them. And maybe this can help.
Well, I didn't have any idea what the impact would be. I mean, I zeroed.
I mean, if I thought it was going to be this big, it was 10 miles long. And so that's been an amazing side of it.
And now what it is, is to continue that, but also to not have any boundaries.

You know, it's kind of like me being on your show today.

I mean, how awesome to talk about food on, you know, on this great sports podcast.

But you guys talk about everything.

I mean, you guys have become worldly in that respect.

So I think that it's in that same idea.

Have fun.

Be genuine.

Respect the, you know, respect uh the program treat people great um and don't and don't establish it and don't take yourself too seriously and don't get too rigid and be flexible on what can happen you kind of think those are been some of the that's been the recipe for us you've definitely brought like a relentless positive energy to food television which is was missing, I think. You know, sometimes it gets like a little stuffy.
It gets a little full of itself, especially in like the food criticism realm. And so I think people naturally gravitated towards that.
And my favorite part of any Triple D episode is right after you take the bite, figuring out which level Guy Fieri is going to react to. Excuse me, Guy Fieri.
Because there are three levels, right, in my opinion. I love these theories.
This to me is like a little drop after PFTs. The first, when you think something's good, not great, you take the bite and you look at the person, you nod, and you're like, that's out of bounds, man, as you're chewing, right? Theory number, the second one is you take a bite

and then you just put your hands on the table

like you're LeBron coming out of the game

and needing a quick breath.

Like you just start breathing as you're thinking about it

and you just kind of get lost in your brain, right?

And then the ultimate Guy Fieri compliment

is when you take a bite and then you tell the camera like,

I'm going to need a minute to process this. And then you go in for bite too, as the camera is like panning out from you.
Would you say that's like, that's a fair assessment of like the three levels of how much you like something? Well, I, I think you've got, I think that your guy impersonations are spot on. And matter of fact, if you could cover a couple of shows next Thursday for me, it would really help open my schedule up.
There are differences of exclamation and exuberance and contemplation. First and foremost, if I don't like it, you don't see it.
Oh, I think. OK, so here's my theory.
I think if you don't, you aren't harsh on people, which I actually love because it's supposed to be fun. But I think your tell is when you say something's the real deal, you're just literally saying it's real.
And that's the baseline of niceness. So it's probably not great, but it's real.
It's the that's the baseline of niceness so it's probably not great but it's real it's actually fit it's tangible you are touching it it's the real deal that's that's the that okay i don't really like this but i'm gonna say something nice to you i've never been psychoanalyzed on triple i've never had it broken down like this i mean this is actually really going um hey guys i'm gonna i'm tell you what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna start paying better attention to this because you don't know what the hell you're talking about it's asked all the time first thing i just tell people is one i won't bullshit you if i don't like it i don't i don't like it there's a difference about us on this this podcast okay okay actually yeah um i'll tell you i'll tell you what it is though different things affect you at different times like sometimes you'll really get in i've been watching uh someone turn that pot down for me please uh i've been watching um 30 on 30 the espn i've just just been watching all of those. I just watched the Ali, Larry Holmes, the final fight in the 80s.
I mean, gosh, I remember that fight. I remember the whole things.
But I just now I get to a different age where, like, I'm really interested in all the complexities of what was going on. So I think that there's different times that different foods strike you different ways.
Also, there's something on top of it about where you are, where you are recently, where you're in headspace, on and on and on. So I can't say that there is a definitive explanation to say, this is the thing that I specifically do when I have that feeling.
Whatever is coming out at the time that I say it is what is really going on. And sometimes when I have to do this, I'm trying to figure out what the hell I'm going to say.
What word you're going to make up. So do you have – No, no, no.
It's not – listen, it's the weirdest thing. I don't have any of these words.
I don't say crunchification because I'm trying to be funny. Okay, I don't make this shit.
I mean, I say whatever. Thank God I have great editors because there are more – there's more smack talk going on than you could ever imagine.
That if the blooper videos – I don't know if you've ever seen the bloopers that happen at the end of the show. Yes.
That stuff's for real. And that's picking, they'll send me 30 of them and say, okay, which one do you want at the end of the show? Because it's somebody falling over, something getting knocked over, somebody cussing, you know, a dog barking, whatever, the lights go out, whatever.
So there's always crazy stuff that happens, but no, to get to your whole thing. It's, it's not, it's not, uh, there is one thing that does happen sometimes.
And they don't show it as often because it takes a lot of time, but sometimes I'll walk off set. I'll take a bite of something and I'll take off on a walk.
Just need some time to be alone. because i have to get myself away from the food because i'll shove more in my mouth oh okay but they don't always show you and it's a different and it's a weird animal you know because it can chop off the the tail end of the you know which might be the final bite line but you don't have that much time yeah you know because it goes only 22 minutes long with commercials so um but a great question we're gonna get back to guy in a second but before we do this interview is being brought to you by whoop whoop billy when you say i have to take a piss the mic can pick you up i know you're not wearing your headphones i i know i know you're whispering it uh billy'siss Break is brought to you by Whoop.
We love Whoop. I'm wearing my Whoop band right now.
It's a health and fitness tracker that quantifies and tracks personalized data like sleep, recovery, strain, and more. Not to brag, but I had a 93% recovery this morning.
So you know what I did? I went to the gym. Went to the gym for the first time in like three months.
Went into a physical gym, lifted weights, went for a run. I knew I could do it because I was wearing my whoop and it told me that my body was prime, it was recovered, and it was ready to work out.
And each day when you get up, whoop gives you a recovery score based on your sleep, your respiratory rate, your resting heart rate, and your heart rate variability. This score will let you know how to approach your day, whether you should push yourself or if you should take it easy.
The way it works is you wear the Whoop band around your wrist all day, and the band connects with an app on your phone. It automatically measures your heart rate, your calories, and your activity levels throughout the day, so you don't ever have to start and stop for workouts.
There's also a built-in sleep coach, so it'll tell you how much sleep you should be getting based on your expected activity level for the following day. It also tracks your four sleep cycles, awake, light, REM, and slow wave sleep.
We've been wearing our bands for a couple months now, and it's been awesome to track our sleep and our activity during quarantine. Whether you're looking to sleep better, if you're training for an event, or if you're just trying to build healthier habits, WHOOP can make you smarter.
It can help you make smarter lifestyle choices and help you perform at your best. And you've seen them on TV.
You've seen NFL athletes wearing them. You've seen NBA athletes wearing their products.
You've seen golfers wear them. They use them to track spikes in respiratory rate.
That can be an early indication of infection. so if you're trying to stay healthy you're

monitoring your health a great way to do that is by wearing whoop and right now whoop is offering 15 off when you use promo code take at checkout go to whoop w-h-o-o-p.com enter take at checkout save 15 whoop at check or whoop.com take at checkout 15 off and now here's more guy fieri So while we're on the sayings, what comes first?

You actually try something on a flip-flop or you get served something in a trash can lid because I think you have to do one of the two whenever you say something could be good on a flip-flop it's so good you could eat it on a flip-flop and then when it's so much food serving in a trash can lid I think eventually if you do this show for as long as you want to do this show, you have to do one or the other. The people need it.
I think that it's probably, and I was just in Florida shooting Triple D and I wore flip-flops the entire time. And I'll tell you, are you guys flip-flop guys? Not really.
In the summer. Oh.
Have you ever tried Oofs? No. O-O-F-S.
The Bomb Flip. I'm going to send you some.
Okay. The Bomb Flip.
Bomb.com. But I wear those because they got great art support.
And so I'm there. And the joke is every time someone sees me in flip-flops, they'll say to me, would you eat that on a flip-flop? And I don't know where that came from, guys.
I was saying that the food was so great that even on my flip-flop, which I've been wearing, it would still be great. That was the whole reason for that stupid line, that crazy line, is because it was like, this would even be good on a flip-flop.
And you don't know what you're going to say. Like Flavortown.
Flavortown never started as – Flavortown was a one time I said it, and I said this looks like – I think it was a pizza. I said it looks like the manhole cover in Flavortown.
Harmless. Yeah.
I'm walking through the airport. I got my film crew with me we're going to shoot triple d somewhere and someone goes the man oh flavor town i'm like yeah flavor town other people said flavor town and i said to chico who's my number one camera guy my dp i said what's the flavor he goes remember you said the thing about the pizza the flavor town so then we brought it up again i some guy had a plate.
And I said, it looks like a bus, the steering wheel of the bus in Flavortown. Oh, jeez.
That was it, man. It blew up from there.
Hot tubs in Flavortown. That's where it was born.
I'm not kidding you. And it now has taken on too well.
Now we have Flavortown Kitchen. So it's a whole other world.
I mean, it's something that's just so much fun to say. Right.
Like, if you take a bite of something that's really spicy and you're like that is flavor town baby like you feel you feel better after you say yeah when you see a big pot of something you're like that's a hot tub in flavor town that's my favorite when you do that but see that and i'm glad you guys you get it because you have your own vernacular and your own words and sayings and your double entendres that you guys play. And I'll tell you, it is a way to explain that a big, hot Dutch oven of, you know, cassoulet and you go like, you know, right there, that's the volcano of Flavortown.
Your mind can go, oh, crazy, big, over the top, must be delicious. You know, something Guy Fieri would eat.
Oh, that's a triple D. You know, that has its own little place.
So it's become its own little descriptive style and attitude. But it's fun.
And I, listen, you guys hit the nail on the head. I love, I'm positive.
I believe in the better opportunities that we have than the worst. And I think that, you know, like this pandemic we've been facing, we found the chance to rally as a country and support one another and, and, and find the better, you know, and there's so many people have done that have lost so much and have been through such terrible times that I'm just happy that someone can hear Flavortown or order Flavortown, or can have this podcast and make somebody smile or make somebody not think about the terrible shit that's going on and keep it on the upswing because that's what we got to do.
For sure. You got to find the silver lining.
Yeah, definitely. I actually have – I've got two suggestions for you.
You can take them or you can leave them. Please.
The first would be I know you do run into that experience time and again where you don't exactly know what to say to somebody about their food if you don't like it. I know you say you don't put it on the air.
But what I say, if I'm eating food in front of somebody that made it for me, I don't want to offend them. I say there's a lot going on in here, a lot of flavors going on in here.
And it's not a lot. It can be totally true.
And you can hate the flavors. but if you say like man there's a lot going on in here it's not really an insult but it's not also lying to their face you know and you've got a great vocabulary and a great style about it and you're very you know that's that's the right way to treat people everybody they made it and gave it to you because they intended it to make you happy you know they didn't go like hey let me see how bad i can screw this up and see if this guy will choke it down.
So that is a great way to say it. And there's been several times, more than several, there's been hundreds of times when I've had a chef make me something and it hasn't worked and I've just looked right at him and said, chef, this doesn't work.
Now I'm a chef, so I have that right to say that and I do it with the utmost respect if I think they can handle it. If I don't think they're ready to handle it, then I've got nothing to prove to do this.
I'm not going into shame people. I'm not a food critic.
I'm not in that realm. That's not my style.
That's not my energy. But if I do think that I could explain to them maybe something where they took a misstep or something might have happened, then I'll do that.
But there's no reason shaming people and making people feel bad,

especially about food.

That's like having some guy play music on stage and go,

you're playing in the wrong key.

You know,

who would do that?

Nobody does that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The,

the second suggestion that I had,

cause I've started to deal with a,

with heartburn over the last,

I don't know,

six,

seven years of my life.

And I,

I really suck at getting it under control because I love eating all the foods that give me heartburn. Why not like combine them and do almost like if you're making chicken wings, do a Tums dry rub on the outside or like sprinkle it on like seasoning.
So you combine the Tums with the hot food that you're about to eat. Have you ever tried something like that? You got a lot going on here.
Yeah, I do. A lot of big flavors.
But give it a thought, guy. I feel like it's solving a problem before it starts.
I shot a place one time on Triple D and they had these ice cream machines and they made all these crazy styles of ice cream. And I told the guy the same thing.
It's like, man, I get harpern all the time, especially after all the indulgent food I eat. I said, let's make some Pepto-Bismol ice cream.
So we made it. We went and got Pepto-Bismol.
And it actually wasn't bad. For anybody that has heartburn, if you could think, what would be more soothing than something coating your stomach, making you – that's super ice cold? Yeah.
It didn't sell, though. It didn't sell at all.
It had a lot of big flavors going on and there was a lot a lot of effort a lot of good effort not exactly not winning the game with this one um i i don't know how that would actually at all be possible to put uh any type of any antacid on and i did some great roll-age commercialsAid commercials. And I'm a big, I love spicy food.
I love all levels of food. And I love wine.
I love all the things that participate in heartburn. And all I will tell you is typically it has to do with diet.
And that's about as all I can tell you. Yeah.
Is what you eat and when you eat it. So think about that one.
I have to ask this question. You are a diehard sports fan, Raiders, Warriors.
What does Mark Davis order at P.F. Chang's? I know Mark.
I know. Mark's a wonderful guy.
Yep. Mark's a wonderful guy.
I think Mark would play it. I think Mark would play it right up the middle.
I think he would go orange chicken, chicken fried rice, egg roll. I think he'd go right up the middle.
I don't really see him diversifying it. Now, Gruden, on the other hand, Gruden, my brother, he's a food.

He's into food.

He's been on Triple D with me.

He's a food guy.

He'd go wherever I took him.

If I wanted to take him out of P.F. Chang's and we wanted to go down the street to some funky little Thai joint where there's only two tables and you've got to get it and eat it out of a plastic container, out of a styrofoam container in the back of the 68 Camaro, you know, sitting on the hatchback, he'd go for anything.
And then round two if we wanted to go to the next place. So he's a little bit more on the wild side of the culinary spectrum.
And you and Gruden, I would imagine, just sit there just complimenting the food in the most hyperbolic way possible. And it's just the most fun of all time because both you guys have that enthusiasm.
Coach to me is, and we talk on a regular basis, is one of those guys that if you want to find the positive aspect of what's going on in the world and how to look at the upside of the down situation.

God, that guy, he wrote the book, man. He wrote the book.
And I'm so happy. I've been, love the Raiders, die hard.
The Vegas move was so tough for me, as it was for everybody here in Northern California. But having gone to college at UNLV, graduated the year we won the NCAA, a running revs, that was the only thing that was going to make me at all OK.
You know, we left Oakland and we went there. But we have a better stadium and more on and on.
But no, he is the king of bringing the good energy and looking at things the right way. And, boy, he's had some challenges.

You know, you guys know it better than me.

But it's great.

We're on an upswing.

I mean, we are going in the right direction.

We are getting collected and unified.

And I think the stadium, I think Vegas is great for us.

I mean, you guys didn't ask all this.

But I'm super passionate and super excited.

I have a restaurant in the stadium, which I could listen. I've been disappointed about not being able to open on time or have an issue or whatever.
God damn. I was so bummed.
We were so ready. We trained and trained the staff.
We were ready to go. We didn't get to open.
And it's, it's the sexiest stadium in North America. Allegiant Stadium.
You, you know, look at the look in your eye. You've seen it.
You've driven Pat. Yeah, bro is right.
It is Vegas. Here's what Vegas has always been.
And I thought it was so crazy. People say, oh, I can't bring major sports to Vegas because of, you know, people.
No, you know what? It's the best place to go for sports because you got great accommodations. I mean, I've been I've been to so many Superbowls and I've stayed in some really bad hotels because the city can't handle them.
The, the, the load, you know, the millions or the thousands and not millions, the thousands of people that come there. And so you're displaced and all this kind of stuff that happens.
Vegas is perfect for it because it can handle the hundreds of thousands and people love to come around the stadium. They may not go to the game, but they love to come to the energy of the stadium.
So in just so many different aspects, it's great. And the stadium is beautiful and the Raiders deserve it playing in Oakland, you know, playing in that stadium for, for a long time.
It, they needed a refresh and this is tough move, but, but, but positive in a lot of ways. So guy, I know you got to go.
You're busy guy. You have to come back on.
You have to come back on for a minute. I'm down any time.
We don't have to have anything to talk about. We have a million other questions that we'll leave, but I had one last question.
Do you ever get weirded out when you see people in public who are dressed exactly like you? Because you do have impeccable style, and there's a whole group of men that I think just cosplay as Guy Fieri all the time. Their life is now your fashion, your style.
Does that weird you out a little? The Halloween costumes, I think, were the one when it really, I kind of had to go, hold on a second. It's the greatest form of flattery.
I give it the You know, Elvis did it right. Still to this day, these people are still out there, you know, doing the impressions of the king.
The only time that it doesn't sit well with me, and this is the saddest thing I can ever tell you, and it bums me out like you don't even know, because listen, if you want to blonde hair and tattoos and you know go for it you know what i this is kind of how i ended up so it is what it is but please don't tell people that you're me and then have them buy you drinks and take your picture because i'm not kidding kidding you guys. This is no bullshit.

In the thousands of people sending me pictures to my address.

I don't know if they find the address.

And saying it was so great hanging out with you in Las Vegas.

And would you sign the picture?

And I have to write back to people and say, I'm sorry.

This is not me.

It's a different guy.

And I'll send them an autographed picture of me, but they're not in it. And it breaks my heart because why do people like that? Why make people think that that's such a shitty thing to do.
So I, that just kind of, but that's the only thing that bums me out. Otherwise I run into the, what they have Fiat Fiaticon in New York, all the all the you just wait fiat icon by the way if we hadn't had covid it might have happened this year oh we're in we're in yeah i'm there we're in show up and i'm gonna have the best guy fiat non-guy fiat outfit and people like man you really look like him and they're not gonna know it we're in we're in i love it yes that sounds like the like the best time ever.
New York city will be renamed flavor town for a day. When you do that, wouldn't that be the funniest to go there and they think it's, are you, but I'll have a bad accent or something.
I'm going to make it work. You watch.
I'm going to film it. All right.
Well, you got to stop by the show when you do that. And we got to talk for like an hour and a half.
Cause we'll do a 24 hour marathon. Yes.

All right, let's wrap up. We've got a couple segments.
First up, we've got Just Chill Out Man for Trevor Bauer. Trevor Bauer told reporters that on Saturday in a spring training game, he pitched an inning using only one eye because he likes to challenge himself.
I like it. It's no different than using a batting donut take a couple practice cuts at spring training i love the trevor bauer makes people upset he really makes people upset and even hardcore like i know people who are baseball fans that also get it you know and when i say get it meaning baseball has to figure out a way to get younger and more fun and faster and you can share their highlights.
And they still get pissed off about Trevor Bauer. Yeah.
He is an internet troll. Right.
He's an internet troll. Come to real life and him doing stuff like this.
I don't think a single person out there was like, this is a really smart thing that Trevor Bauer did. Trevor B Bauer is if Reddit was a human being, he would be Trevor Bauer.
And everybody absolutely got so mad about this stunt that he did. And I personally don't really care one way or the other.
So I find it hilarious. And I also don't talk about it.
Yeah. People would talk about it.
I'm pretty sure that somebody else would have noticed, although it's spring training. The closest cameras are located like 300 yards away.
Correct. And they're in like Ken Rosenthal's Motorola Razr.
So you can't really see the clarity of the picture like you would like to. But yeah, I don't believe him that he did.
Maybe he threw one pitch. I do not care.
Maybe there was a gnat in his eye for one pitch. Right.
It's just one of those funny things that it's funny to see and it's funny to laugh about. And Bauer just makes people mad And I like that He should try doing it on LSD like Doc Ellis did That would be cool If you want to talk about the most Impressive athletic feats of all time I'd say throwing a no-hitter on LSD Is probably number one and number two But Big Cat, isn't he like the Baseball version Bryson DeChambeau? We've already talked about this, Hank.
I don't care. The duality of man.
Also, okay, I have many different – I can hold three different thoughts in my head at once. Using your Luka Garza logic earlier, you'd think that you would also have to support Bryson.
No, because I like Brooks and I only rep one and a half golfers. Max, sorry, until you win a major year half golfer.
So, wait, what if Trevor Bauer pulled a Brooks though? Or what if you pulled a Bryson and he put on like 60 pounds worth? Yeah. Just like, of just like water weight and muscle? That would be very funny, right? But the difference between Trevor Bauer and Bryson is Bryson uses stuff like math.
Trevor Bauer uses stuff like upvotes. So he does not approach the game from the same nerd perspective that Bryson does.
And also I think Trevor Bauer doesn't complain about the rules the way Bryson does. Bryson's a big, like, this is not fair.
Oh, like, I had a little bit of the sniffles during the Masters. I don't know, Tank.
Don't get on. Trevor Bauer throwing.
I'm a hypocrite, okay? Him throwing the ball over the center field fence was way cooler than Bryson DeChambeau hitting a golf golf ball over water the the end of the day i'm a hypocrite and i do not care i like who i like uh all right we also have uh pr 101 for the washington football team also i have a stay woke on it go ahead pft this is your story so i i microdosed for the very first time in my life on friday morning and uh i'm not going to say that that directly contributed to me seeing this entire web of online lies coming together, but I'm not going to say that didn't help either. So I started to notice that over the last two days, there were a shitload of accounts that had been created in October of 2020 that were all tweeting things about Dan Snyder, like great job, Dan Snyder, the NFL, what it means to be a diverse organization.
Great job, Dan Snyder be the change that you want to see in the world. I see you great job to the Washington football team.
Dan Snyder gets it. Everybody else at the NFL league office should take notice.
And I was like, wait, now it is possible that lots of women unanimously across the board are independently tweeting good things about Dan Snyder. But I did some digging on it, and it'll shock you to find out that there are more than likely hundreds of bots that were all created around the same time to just heap praise on Dan Snyder right when the Jeff Bezos takeover of the Washington football team started to get their very first, like, the first bubblings of it started to the surface.
Right. So, so yeah, Dan Snyder, essentially somebody in the Redskins organization paid for a shitload of Twitter bots to just do nothing all day, but tweet praise for Dan Snyder.
Huh? Interesting. So my real stay woke is you found this and I initially thought like so regular brain dan snyder did this

he had a bunch of bots tweet nice things about him uh second what's the second brain where it's like you know that meme universe brain universe brain jeff bezos did this to set dan snyder up and then fucking Galaxy Brain,

PFT has done all of this.

I'm right there with you. I created all these accounts so that Dan Snyder, to uncover it, make Dan Snyder look bad so Jeff Bezos would buy the team.
Also, to add on to Galaxy Brain, actually, I guess Galaxy Brain should come before Universe Brain. Whatever it may be.
No, it comes after. Universe is smaller than the Galaxy.
Right. Is it a coincidence that this all happened after burner gate no no i'm saying like to catch a burner it turns out you have to think like a micro dosing so i think that okay i think that creating the burner and developing that part of my brain last week made me more in tune with the universe uh-huh when it comes to burner.
Maybe one with the Burner account.

It was a brilliant plan. Billy set that up.

I do think that's Dan Snyder

because here's why.

Dan Snyder works

harder on

ways to seem like a good person

than he would have to work

to actually be a good person. That's kind of been

his MO throughout his entire tenure of ownership. this is right out of his playbook and you

knew that to waste a bunch of time trying to cheat it's like the guy that that puts in so much time

trying to figure out the answers on the test huh when you could have just spent that 30 minutes

studying huh and you knew that listen he thinks the lady doth protest too much i'm flattered i'm

flattered that you would think that this would be something that I would do very flattered interesting alright we're going to finish up the show I did have one last segment drunk text from Billy at 1.30 in the morning saying I love you guys I thought it was sweet within two I replied, no one else is going to say it, Billy. So I will love you too.
I just want to say it to me sober. Love you guys.
Like drunk. Anyone can get a little drunk with their bros and start texting all their other bros being like, I love you guys.
You get a little sentimental. And then when I said that to Billy, when I saw him today, he's like, dude, my fucking college friends get me so drunk.
Like, it was their fault. They're like, dude, you've changed.
They made me drink. Billy, how blue were the mountains on Friday night? So blue.
Yeah. So blue.
So blue. Responsibly.
You were responsibly saying, I love you too, Billy. I just like to do it sober.
We're at the sober sex portion of our relationship. I'm different.
I love Billy when Iy when i'm drunk no i i it's billy we can fucking have just like baloney breath and still fuck no okay it's fine i'm like it'd be fucking oh three o'clock in the afternoon on a saturday we're both a little bloated we'll fuck no i'm still i'm still leaving billy's house to take a dump we're not we're not we don't fart in front of each other billy i'm cool every monday every single monday i swear to god i'm like i am not going to tell billy that i love him this weekend and then friday night at like 12 30 i'll kiss him with makeup on i always do and then all my friends are like bro you said you wouldn't all right let's watch the end of the game here we go we're gonna get fucked unless we hit this shot hank oh we're fucked by the elam ending that's such bullshit oh that's such bullshit did they add all the points up yep oh we need this three yeah and so we need what'd you get 319 yes alright boom I was about to I was about to put a curse on Jason Elam's house. Okay, wait.
Oh, what an ending. So I know that's game, but why are the numbers so...
Did they score all those points in the fourth quarter? Yeah, 170 to 150 in the fourth. But that's what they were doing before.
No, that's just one quarter. So they scored, what is that, 320 points in the fourth quarter.
Yeah, that's why they call it the Elam ending. Why would they switch it? What do you mean? It's because he was always a good kicker, and he would kick at the end of the games.
Yeah, because he was the king of three-pointers, so they want to make it as scoring as possible. Give me number eight.
32. 18.
99. 59.
He has 8. 8.
8.

This is usually the time of the show.

Individual mouse sperm are bigger than elephant sperm.

75.

Love you guys.

Damn.
