On today's part of my take, we have recurring guest Rob Lowe on the show. Haven't talked to him in a couple years.
He's got a new podcast out. I think you can go download it.
It's coming out this week. Chris Pratt is his first guest.
He's going to have Magic Johnson on. We get into that.
He's going to get some answers for us. We have Who's back of the week.
We have the Mount Rushmore of stadium pump-up songs, which we're going to. Are we going to allow Billy into that Mount Rushmore? Yeah.
Okay. I'll tell you what.
We'll let him into it, and then we'll decide retroactively if it appears on the graph. Okay.
All right. All right.
Okay. So that's fair.
And then we have a Monday reading. So a packed show for everyone.
Billy's already looking like he doesn't know what to do. All right, we'll get to that later.
We're going to get right back to the show. Have you ever had to put your plans on hold due to symptoms of generalized myasthenia gravis or GMG? Like taking that weekend trip, talking with friends, or enjoying a meal.

That's TreatGMG.com. All right, back to part of my take.

Okay, let's go.

I almost burped.

Boys!

Boys! Now in the street there is violence, and then a lot of stuff, work to be done.

No place to hang out or wash in, and then I can't blame all on the sun.

Oh no, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue, and then we'll take it higher.

Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue. This is part of my take, presented by the Cash App.
Go download it right now. Use code BARSTOOL.
You get $10 for free, $10 to ASPCA. Today is Monday, June 22nd, and if you were listening to the preview, we have settled it.
We figured it out in the, in the space when electric Avenue was playing, Billy will not be involved in the Mount Rushmore today. He will instead do a side Mount Rushmore of lifts.
So lifts as in not like stuff you put in your shoes, not cars you get in instead of an Uber. We're talking lifts as in muscle development for gains, exercises.
We are here. It is Monday.
It is hellscape Sports World. I swear to God, I'm starting to get too woke that this has all been rigged so that we all have to watch soccer, which I don't even hate, but I watched so much soccer this weekend.
I watched enough soccer to the point where I feel like I totally understand the drama going on in the EPL right now. I didn't realize it, but Liverpool, shout out to Liverpudlians

that listened to part of my take,

you guys are getting your first English Premier League

title, and it almost

got taken away from you, like

the Montreal Expos lost in the strike

year. So, congratulations,

you got a result in your derby

against Everton. Man, they wanted to win there.

They did want to win, but they got a result. But yeah, so

Pulisic scored, but yeah, we're here. Life is now just soccer with a little side of horse racing.
That's pretty much it. The globalists will never make a lot of soccer.
Oh yeah, golf. Oh yeah, golf.
Did Brooks win? No. He's tied for the lead right now, but I don't think he's going to win because Tyrell, whatever his last name is, is tied with him, and he's got like 12 more holes left.
The course is a joke this week, and I want to give my fuck you of the week to the course down in Hilton Head, South Carolina, because he's just getting dominated. Take away this course's tour card.
We've got the Travelers, though, coming up. It's a big one.
If you listen to this show, you know how excited we've been. It's a big one.
The fifth major. So excited.
Not a major, but it's big. Yeah.
It's basically bigger than the British Open. I mean, the field that they have every year for the Travelers.
It's a minor major. It's a who's who.
I would say it's a major minor. Yes.
Okay. I like that better.
Either or. Just get excited for it.
So, yeah, that's sports. We're here.
Dak Prescott contract back in the news again. That's great.
I feel like there have been nine updates on the Dak. It's like between Dak Prescott and Jamal Adams to figure out whose contract is going to be in the news.
By the way, we talked a little bit about Jamal on Friday's show. He is the new Antonio Brown.
We all just think that Jamal Adams is now a free agent. I don't want to put him in Antonio Brown.
Antonio Brown is a lot crazier. Not on the mental side.
I'm talking about the fact that he has us all convinced that he's a free agent. Right.
He's still got two years that they can control his contract more, actually, if they just start franchise tagging him. The only other big news I saw was Twitter decided to go.
They went full send, and I'm going to tip my cap to the cancel brigade because they went for the final boss, Joe Rogan, and failed.

And that was funny to watch.

That was a heat check moment by Twitter.

They're like, holy shit, we've been hitting shots from half court.

We've been canceling everything.

Let's see if we can take down Joe Rogan, who has the biggest podcast in the world and can basically just snap his fingers and take his audience anywhere. And they failed, but they tried.
And I had to tip my cap like, hey, shoot your shot. You attempted to take down the biggest guy you could take down for cancel.
Shoot for the moon. Even if you fall short, you'll end up amongst the stars.
It was funny to watch. As our teachers who knew nothing about astronomy used to tell us.
He was trending all day Saturday. I just kept on looking and being like, what is going on here? And I couldn't fully understand what he was being canceled for.
And then I realized, like, Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan would just go and just talk into a fucking tomato can and 10 million people would listen. Yes, he would sell 10 million tomato cans with strings on them that radios just listen to through their windows if you wanted to the thing about joe rogan is yeah he is uncancellable because he would actually let's say that twitter was able to get his contract with spotify canceled right he would just take that ride that wave of publicity go back to what he was doing before and still make a shitload of money, if not more.
He owns his own podcast, and his only boss is Dana White. Yeah.
That is the most bulletproof person alive. Yeah, Dana White would give you a raise if you almost got canceled for something.
That's our new sport, because we have no sports. So shout out to whoever tried to cancel Joe rogan that was you you tried you tried and this is not an endorsement of everything joe rogan has ever said or done but he has a huge fucking audience and he tried you tried he tried it was trending all day and i was just i was so confused what was going on oh how excited are you guys for the sbs tonight huh that's gonna be electrics are uncancelable.
Yeah, so this is what ESPYs decided to do. I didn't even realize they were tonight until Adam Schefter tweeted out earlier today, the ESPYs are tonight.
And that was basically the entire breaking news that he had. They're doing, I don't know, like a virtual ESPYs.
I'm sure it's going to be wonderful. I can't wait.
They did not reach out to me to write any of the jokes for the monologue. So you you know what? I'm canceling the ESPYs.
This actually might be electric. Yeah, who's hosting? I don't know.
Not me. How did you find out that they were happening? Adam Schefter's tweet.
That said, I think Adam just found out earlier today that the ESPYs were tonight, just like us. He's breaking the news going to look this up.
I'm going to look this shit up. Post Russell Wilson, Megan Rapinoe, Sue Bird.
And from a Zoom? Yep. This isn't even when the ESPYs usually are.
No. Why would they change when it was? The ESPYs are reserved for the most sacred day in sports the day after the All-Star game, when there's nothing going on.
I did, I love DSBN trying to, like,

b******. the most sacred day in sports the day after the all-star game when there's nothing going on i did i i love dsbn trying to um like boost whatever they're having people watch now when they did a big hosted by mike greenberg a big sports are coming back like round table yeah where they talked about sports coming back and what it would look like it was like wait but it's not sports aren't actually coming back like i'll see it when i believe it but all i see on sports news these days are every fucking person every every single fucking person who's ever played soccer can play soccer right now and then if you're in a ncaa football weight room you immediately have coronavirus that's pretty much what it's? Djokovic? Oh, yeah.
What did he do? He played in front of people, right? He hosted a tournament in Serbia. Full crowd.
No social distancing. No masks.
Ball boys. The works.
And then a guy that was playing in the tournament got corona and had to put up an Instagram being like, hey, I kind of got corona. And it was like, it wasn't even...
Hey, I kind of got it. It was like, it wasn't a tournament.

It was like a volunteer. Like, he didn't have to play.

And he was like visually like sick and coughing and shit in his match.

I'm laughing, but I shouldn't laugh. Holy shit.

And Djokovic was saying, he's like, no, well, you know,

I know a lot of places haven't dealt with Coronavirus

well, but like in Serbia, we have. We've done a good job.

So we can do this. That's my goat.

Man, didn't he get beat by like an unranked

guy last week too? Well, he's probably sick.

Yeah, that's right. He's probably pretty weak.

No vaccine Djokovic is

Thank you. so he can do this.
That's my goat. Man, didn't he get beat by an unranked guy last week, too?

Well, he's probably sick.

Yeah, that's right.

He's probably pretty weak. No vaccine Djokovic is getting his shit pushed in left and right.

Anti-vax Djokovic.

Billy just got it.

That was a little late there.

It's funnier when you repeat it.

Billy, can you explain the joke?

Okay, so no vac is like no vaccine no back anti-vax okay okay got it got it we buried that one anything else instead of the instead of the richter scale of uh kate upton boobs just have billy explain my shit and just slowly how many minutes it takes billy to get the joke and say it back? Yes. Anything else we got? Anything else that's buzzing around news? We're just waiting for MLB.
We think NBA is going to happen. We think hockey is going to happen.
Clemson football is going for herd immunity. Clemson, which is Dabo's finest move.
Pretty much every football program is going to go for herd immunity. And we're going to have a football season that just every team that already got it out of the way is set.
Those are going to be the ones. I'm surprised Mike Saban has done that.
I think betting is going to be crazy when star players and shit get announced to not play a day before the game. That's what I was saying.
They're going to do the testing. It's going to have to be fucked.
The way they have it set up right now in the NFL is that on Saturday nights, they're going to be testing the players if all goes according to plan. And then they'll get the results back probably within the hour.
And then at the very last minute, they'll have to say which players will be able to play. Matt Berry's going to be so mad.
David Johnson might get a career record in rushing attempts this year. That's going to be funny.
And that's going to flip him out. Watching people get mad when people are sick and be like,

fuck you, you fuck my fantasy team.

So you're going to have to take that into account when you're doing your

drafts this year.

Like, which player is less likely to hang out with all of his teammates?

Who are the biggest losers in the NFL, and you're going to want to pick them

up so they have less of a chance of contracting it?

Aaron Rodgers.

Aaron Hallahan.

Boom. Good point, Billy.
Aaron Rodgers. He's my 1A.
Yeah. All right, let's do our Who's Back of the Week, and then we have Rob Lowe coming up, and we have some Monday readings from Mount Rushmore on the other side of Rob Lowe.
Before we do Who's Back, we're going to get right back to the show. In the mood for something crunchy, saucy, and boneless?

Try Jack's new crispy boneless wings from Jack in the Box, starting at just $5.99.

Get them with honey garlic sriracha or smoke show smoky barbecue sauce.

Enjoy so much more.

All right, back to part of my take.

All right, Who's Back of the Week?

Hank, why don't you start?

My Who's Back of the Week is dunking babies into water. Oh, okay.
Shout out Baptist. This video, I mean, so Ken Jack actually, a coworker, found this video lurking on TikTok, I guess, and put it out on Twitter.
It went viral, and it's this lady. I know it's a podcast.
It is a lady holding a baby, and I kid you not, she basically just gronk spikes the thing into the ocean and then it like floats back up and it's like it sparked a debate on like if this is the proper way to teach kids how to swim. It's a funny if you guys haven't seen the video I'm going to send you the video right now.
She throws a baby into the ocean? She gronk spikes it into like a pool. Okay.
But dunking is back. Pool season, dunking is back.
Oh the food. I was wondering what you're doing.
Yep. Billy's back.
Interesting. So is it similar to those videos that go viral every couple years where there's a priest that gets super aggressive? I think usually it's like an Orthodox priest who's like very intensely doing the baptisms.
The coronavirus baptisms were very funny with the priests with super soakers. Yes.
That was cool. That was great.
Yeah. Oh, this is a very funny video.
Yeah. Good call, Hank.
I kind of want somebody to do that to me. That looks awesome.
I love dunking. Dunking is great.
When you dunk someone, hell yeah. I want Cardi B to just smash me into the ocean.
All right, PFT, who's your who's back? My who's back of the week. I'm going to get a little personal here because I did tweet about it and I put it on Instagram last week a little bit.
Leroy had a very bad end of the week on Thursday. He got extremely sick, was very, very worried about him all weekend long, ended up sleeping on the floor with him a couple nights because he actually couldn't move for a while.
And the fucking dog just made the best recovery that I've ever seen hell yeah any animal ever i would it was it was getting pretty emotional for me on on thursday and friday but leroy seems to be back to normal he is an older dog he's 12 which in mastiff years is like 120 uh so he's an old guy and he's he's been through some shit but he keeps coming out the other side but leroy is officially this week, back to his old self. And I'm very, very happy about that.
Very excited to have Leroy feeling better. There's no worse feeling in the world than having a sick dog because you can't ask the dog, what's wrong? How do I fix it? You just have to snap into parenting mode.
And so I know it's not the same. It's not really real Father's Day, but I felt felt like leroy and i got closer this well that's a great segue because uh who's back of the week for me is uh my co-workers not wishing me a happy father's day but that's fine happy father's day big guy happy father's day i wish you wanted i liked i liked your tweet about being a dad it's fucking awesome yeah it's the coolest that was my support yeah hit the heart button there I loved it.
No, I actually, it was very weird because, like, not to say.

Our coworkers, their hearts in the right place,

but I did get some texts from our coworkers being like,

Happy Father's Day.

I'm like, darn, you're supposed to say that to your dad.

Yeah.

Like, I'm not.

There's nothing here for me.

But it was a nice gesture.

No, that's not my real who's back.

My real who's back is Guy Fieri. Guyieri is back because the city of Columbus has a petition now Columbus obviously not a great dude in history so we're cleaning up history and we're replacing it with real American history and gonna name Columbus Flavortown that would be sick if Columbus's ships were named diners, drive-ins, and dives.
In retrospect, we should rename his ships. Yes.
We should rename everything. I kind of like this, though.
We're going to clean up history, get rid of the bad dudes, and get our real true culture. I mean, if you hate Guy Fieri, then I hate you.
Right. I will die on that hill.
It's impossible not to like Guy Fieri. Yes.
What do you got, Billy? Can I get a who's back? Yeah, you have one in a second. Hold on.
Hold on. You have one in a second.
Guy Fieri needs to come on part of my take. Yes.
He said that he would come on part of my take if I ate 50 of his wings at his restaurant in Atlantic City. Guy Fieri.
We were going to have him on in Super Bowl week, but he was in Fort Lauderdale, and that was a long way away, which also Super Bowl week feels like a long way away. That was a long time ago.
My other who's back is is teenagers in general. The tick tock teens basically registering for K-pop and tick tock teens registering for over a million seats at Trump's rally in Oklahoma.
And then having everyone say like, oh, yeah, we're gonna have a million people there. And then there was like 6,000 people there.
Just listen. If you want to go at someone, just don't go at the fucking teenagers on TikTok.
And they're a scary group. And the K-poppers.
The K-poppers are, they wield the most. All respect to K-pop.
Yes, they wield the most power of any single group on the internet. By far.
The strongest and the in the gun lobbies. I'm including the MFAM.
I'm including the NRA. I'm including SEAL Team Klay.
All the most powerful dangerous armies on the internet. They pale in comparison to the K-pop armies.
So who's the big one? Who's the big K-pop band? I thought the name of the band was K-pop. No, it was Korean pop.
Jeff D. Lowe booked them on Good Morning America at one point.
Shit, we got to get them on part of my take, though. We got to get on their good side.
We're pro-K-pop. I'm actually a huge K-pop fan.
Yes. You're such a big K-pop fan.

That's what it is.

Yeah, BTS.

I love BTS.

BTS is my favorite band in the whole world.

Let's get BTS with BTS.

Name one of their hits.

That'd be amazing.

Their biggest hit?

Yeah.

I like them all.

I can't choose one.

I don't.

It's like choosing your favorite.

Philip Rivers Child.

Boy With Love.

Gangnam Style.

Nope. That's Psy.
Nope. That's K-pop, though.
It It is K-pop That's a K-pop song we all know But we're talking about BTS We're big BTS fans Billy what is your Who's Back of the Week Lacrosse Oh Lacrosse is actually coming back and now you guys are going to all be forced to watch it. And I know Hank's a big La Crosse guy, but La Crosse is sick.

Everyone's been looking at La Crosse wrong.

They have.

La Crosse is just legitimately tribal warfare, the closest thing to primal tribal warfare.

How is it back?

It's back because they're going to be playing when all their sports are playing pretty soon.

This week?

Wait, when is it coming back? I think the PLL is coming back in mid-July. So when all the other sports are going to be back? No, but it's...
Baseball won't be back and everyone's going to be like, what are we watching? You missed the part where Billy said how it was tribal warfare. That's why it's back.
It's back. Tribal warfare.
Tribal warfare is back. Tribal warfare is back.
In form of lacrosse. Yeah, it's actually sick.
Chads versus Brads. No, no, no.
We're taking it back. It's like the Hatfield and McCoy.
Yeah, we're pulling down the Chad and Brads of lacrosse and going back to the original tribal Native American spirit of the game. Okay.
Grow All right. Good.
Grow the game. Nice.

Grow the game.

I used to love playing lacrosse

because I would knock out

like the Chads and Brads

legitimately.

Hank, what do you think?

You say that like

you aren't a Chad and a Brad.

I don't consider myself

a Chad and a Brad.

Right.

Like that's weird.

And like to be like

I would fuck up a Chad and a Brad

look at what you're wearing right now.

Who are you?

Look at what you're wearing.

Even upside down

the final boss of Chad.

Yeah.

Oh my God.

Hold on.
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, dude. Yeah.
Yeah. I thought we were going right away.
All right. We're going right away.
We're going right away. It's our good friend, recurring guest Rob Lowe on the show.
He's got a new podcast, which is called Literally with Rob Lowe. I think I said that correctly.
We're going to get to podcasting. We're going to get to everything else.
But holy shit, I didn't realize you were at our party, Super Bowl. I apologize.
Turns out doing an open air party when there is a tornado slash hurricane in Miami doesn't really work out. Did you survive like a little bit dry or were you just soaked?

Oh my God.

It was absolutely insane.

I mean,

it was,

I thought people were going to be swept away.

Yes.

I mean,

I legit thought people were going to be swept away.

And the,

and the other thing was like,

just the,

the,

the fights were gnarly, man. They were good.
Yeah, yeah. The rough and rowdy is always a good time.
It was a trip. I managed to wiggle my way into the front row, and it was so crowded that it was tough to move anywhere in that crowd.
I was sitting there watching the fight. I turn around, and Rob Lowe is standing right next to me, and I'm wearing the NFL logo hat that Rob Lowe was just on television wearing matters of weeks before.
Can you walk me through the story of how you acquired that hat and why you decided to wear the NFL hat? Yeah, so I have a show on Fox called 9-1-1 Lone Star, and we were about to premiere. It's the spinoff to 9-1-1.
And Fox has spent a ton of money on it. And it's their big hope.
And, you know, so they want me to come to the game and sit there. We're going to be on after the game.
And then they're going to cut to me. And it's basically an ad for the show.
And, you know, I love sports. I'm a football fan.
So I'm down to clown. So I, I get in the car to go to the stadium and Fox has a gift bag of swag for the game.
And I'm thinking I'm going to get a championship hat. Like that's what you get, right? You get like, no, there's no team hat.
There's no championship hat, nothing other than that NFL hat, which, by the way, I thought this is the dopest hat I've ever seen because I'd never really seen one other than on a ref. Yeah.
And so I loved it. In fact, I was texting people the picture on the way in going, how cool is this hat? And then the next thing you know, in like the second quarter, my phone starts exploding.
Yes. Exploding.
And I'm like, oh, they probably just cut to me. But I had no idea that it had become such a thing.
It's so funny. So unexpected.
You got roasted. You got roasted.
But in a fun, like, there's every now and then right the internet has these moments the internet is very cynical it's pretty pessimistic but every now and then there'll be like a good old-fashioned roasting that no one gets hurt and it's just a good time and that and it also kind of plays in to your character in parks and rec where you're positive and it it's like, I'm rooting for everyone to have a good time here. And it was so fucking perfect.
And guess what? It was. What game was it? It was NFC Championship.
Yeah, it was 49. So I had a great time watching the Packers get the shit kicked out of them.
But that was. You're an NFL fan.
You root for all the teams to have a great time. You've won 54 Super Bowls in a row.
That's right. I'm undefeated.
You're just a fan of leagues in general. There hasn't been a Super Bowl that my team hasn't won yet.
It's amazing. I like somebody who said that my favorite player was Roger Goodell.
I mean, they were really funny. I love roasting myself.
It's like when I did my my comedy central roast with Peyton Manning and those guys is like, I love a good joke at my own expense. And there were some really, really, really funny ones coming off of that.
We got more attention than we ever dreamed. Yes.
Yes. So so now flash to current day, you're with us right now and you are wearing a Houston.

Is that an asterisk hat or an Astros hat? It's a Houston asterisk.

OK, good. OK.
That I had made.

I made 7000 of them along with my son, Matthew Lowe, who – we're both huge Dodgers fans. You guys have the same last name? Matthew Lowe.
You never know. Some people, you know, they get married.
They don't have this name. Who knows? I can't keep up with how the last name Brigade is currently – yes.
So Matthew and I made these for our friends, and it became such a thing. People wanted to buy buy them and he's selling them.
So Matthew Lowe's Instagram account, you can get one, but they're hilarious and they're subtle. I get stuck on the street.
People go, yay, Astros. I go, look a little closer.
And then on the back it says, Houston asterisks established 2017. I love it.
So I also love that you get the double take from somebody who thinks that they're your best friend, and then you're like, no, I hate your team. And then they have to kind of just deal with that face-to-face.
Do you think that we should retroactively award the Los Angeles Dodgers a World Series? No, I don't. I don't think we should do that.
I literally think, hence the asterisk, it's like, you know, and I love

Barry Bonds. I don't want to drag him

right now because he's a really good dude.

In spite of what everybody else says, he's always been great to me.

But like, there's sort of

a perceived asterisk

around some of that stuff.

Maguire. Oh, what'd he do?

Andro. There's the

Andro in the locker. Yeah.
Right.

You know, it's the juicing era. It's's like you're not going to take away the guy's you know thing but you kind of go oh yeah it just has that kind of patina to it which i think people already know that that that the the dodgers got bound for 100 percent bound yeah the juicing era though that is the juicing era is probably the most hypocritical that like sports media has ever been in the entire world in the fact that they all made so much money covering maguire and sosa and barry bond's quest and and they all knew and and they all knew and baseball had this big boom when they needed it after the strike and then when it became you know the the congressional hearings and everything and everyone said oh my god i can't believe what are they gonna tell kids fuck that let listen you probably shouldn't have steroids be legal but if you can't look back at juicing air and be like every single player was probably juicing so i don't care all those numbers barry bonds is the best baseball player of all time i have no problem saying that without i don't care if you want to throw in steroids whatever you want to say that you can't erase that you can't take that away that he was if you watched him in his prime he was the best baseball player of all time 100 and and you know there are people in baseball off the record who will tell you everybody was doing a version of what the Astros were doing.
Like if you really if people get really, really honest. But but but but in the sense that, you know, a guy on second base is always trying to steal signs like sign stealing.
And that kind of low level stuff is is baked into the DNA of the game. But the sort of institutionalized.
Yeah. Sign stealing.
Cam. Once electricity becomes involved in the situation.
That's right. It's a problem.
Totally different thing. Yes.
And I love the the the notion of its electricity, high tech algorithms and then a trash can. Right.
Right. It ends.
Yeah. That's that's the ending of the pattern is just like take this bat and then smash a trash can lid for it and then i'll use my ears

to figure it out perfect it's the best way to get get the message across just start banging on a

bunch of loud pipes yeah whenever a curveball is coming well speaking of curveballs like

clayton kershaw he's the one who really got roasted yeah i mean that guy you look you go

and look at those astro home games and he got lit up like it was batting practice, and turns out it was. Yeah, and Hugh Darvish as well.
It was pretty unfair if you're one of those guys specifically. I always thought it was weird how on time Jose Altuve always was, like when he's catching up to a fastball.
It was just weird to me, and Bman too, for the last three years, those, those two guys for sure. So I'll, so I, I waved the Dodger flag over the dugout for a couple of games.
Um, it was really fun and I just liked doing shit like that. And, and, um, so I was over the Astros dugout for the Dodger flag.
I think it was game two. And I decided to turn the flag upside down and wave it sort of into the Astros dugout.
So I was being a little bit of a bitch, you know, on purpose. And the next thing I know, a water bottle comes at my head.
And I look and it's Altuve threw a water bottle at me. was all but he was it was great because again it was like he was kind of being a dick but i was kind of being a dick and it was all good it was all in good fun and competitive but he you know i do we think he was wearing a wire device what did you guys i think so just because it's so fun to imagine that he was that like, he's running down the third baseline.
He's telling people don't rip my shirt off. Cause he's just strapped up.
Like he's Donnie Brasco, like from his nipple to his belly button, just like microphones everywhere. I want to believe that it's true.
Um, but I I'd say it would take a pretty big set of balls to actually wear a wire. It'd be incredible.
It would really be. Well, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Why would it take a big set of balls? Okay, if you're already doing what they're doing and you're worried about crowd... Think of just...
Walk it through logically. Because here's my thing.
If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. So you're banging on a trash can.
Maybe there's a couple games you can't hear it.

You miss it.

I never heard it.

Dude, we banged three times.

It was a curveball.

I don't know.

So the next thing you know,

someone's going to come up with an idea I know.

Let's take the noise thing out of it.

And it's a buzzer.

And then you go, okay,

you got a guy coming around third base,

greatest moment of his life,

greatest moment of his career. And he tells he doesn't't want to take his shirt off.
Cause his wife is shy. It's fucking on his wife.
It's fucked up. She's very modest.
And then the bad tattoos one was, was great too. It's a bad unfinished tattoos.
Yeah. I remember watching it.
I remember like it was yesterday and going something's, and this is before any of the, there was even a whiff of the cheating scandal. And I thought something was really bizarre about his behavior after that walk-off.
He just hit the biggest home run, arguably, in baseball history. One of them.
Yeah. And I thought he was acting really shady.
Yes. Yeah, I mean, it is the logical next step if you are saying like okay what's a better way to signal to somebody then yeah something wireless i actually also think that at some point when you're going up to bat if you're a houston astro and you know that you've got the system worked out you're thinking a lot more about like wait is this trash can sound going to come then you are actually about the game situation like your your mind is just like you know it's focused on that so i wouldn't be surprised if they tried to get a little bit more fancy with it but man i just wish that there had been we had some sort of camera angle that you could see an actual wire across altuvia's chest that would be so great would have been fantastic um so let's talk about your podcast you yeah so what uh in your brain said you know what the world needs another podcast what how did that go down um here's what happened frankly do as i have done podcasts myself yeah i've had such a great time having these unfettered form, meandering, say what the hell is on your mind conversation, because it's the podcasting, as you know, is the only place where you can do that.
Now, when I came up, you could do that on talk shows. Yes, you could do it.
And you would have these great rock on tours come up and talk about random shit. and now it's like you talk for three seconds and then they want you to do a pie fight.
Right. Or get on a skateboard track or something.
Right. And, and so I, and then the other, the part of it was, um, I started doing a one man show and touring the country and just sort of enjoyed telling my stories to people.
And then on the other end of it was like, look, I've been doing this for so many years. I have so many interesting friends.
Like no one's going to talk to Gwyneth Paltrow. Like I am, I've known her since she was 16 years old.
Like I know where the, all the bodies are buried and it's going to be fun. And like, no one's going to talk to Chris Pratt the way I'm going to.
And so that, that was the impetus for it. And I'm loving, loving doing it.
It, we, it comes out on the 25th. Yeah.
I said that in jest because I actually do think like as someone whose job is to podcast it's a ton of fun and right there's a pushback that's happening right now that i understand it that people are like well not everyone needs a podcast and uh celebrities are kind of taking from the smaller podcast but to me it's the more the merrier because one i want to hear those conversations i want to hear the conversations where people can really strip it down and be like, hey, we're friends. Here's our friendship out in the public.
And two, there is an element where we're showing it right now. If you start a podcast, you have to go on a podcast and it becomes an ecosystem where you come on our show.
And so whenever someone starts a new podcast, like i'm not mad because guess what they're probably

going to come on our show to plug it and we get to talk to them and have a good time with that yeah i did it with you know conan and brian's my my partner on on the show and i've we've done each other's shows and it's been really fun and um it's like it's like look if you would be curious to pull up a chair at a dinner I'm having with Mike Myers, then this is the podcast for you. Okay.
Nice. I can get on board with that.
Nice. Love that.
A little tip as you're getting into the game. You always need to get your guest to say something provocative.
Say something that's going to get some headlines. So now I'm going to open up the floor for you to say something provocative that we can take out of context to use.
I already, I already have. Don't you, if you don't think my public perception mind hasn't been cranking through this whole interview going, I'm about to get ruckus by major league baseball and the Houston Astros ownership.
And the headlight be, Lowe accuses them of cheating or whatever. You know what I mean? Rob Lowe designs hat.
What about what's untouchable to Drew Peterson in jail? Will you announce that right now? Let's go. I would play that would play that character forever i mean you know when i get to get into a fat suit and wear prosthetics it's like a get out of jail free card i can kind of do whatever i want to do yeah have you ever considered taking on like the christian bale route where you you accept a role but you have to gain like 70 pounds for it well there's a's a great story going around about the Oscars where Christian Bale was up for lead actor.

And oh, yeah, yeah, it was.

Come on now.

Gary Oldman.

OK, Gary.

So Gary Oldman and Christian Bale are up for the for the same award.

Gary Oldman wins it.

And backstage, Bale's like, so how did you handle the weight? how much how much did you have to eat what regiment were you on he's like what do you mean i wear a fucking fat suit you crazy and christian bale who did not win the oscar and tortured his body and had a miserable experience is like oh and watches the guy walk off with the Hence, fat suit. Yes.
I wanted to quickly bring up an issue that is near and dear to my heart and that we share, we have in common. And I think we need to use our platforms for good and get out there.
You don't know what I'm going to actually say. You're nodding because you think I'm actually saying something serious.
But you and I both are admitted hair dyers.

And I want to get out there and let people know it's okay to dye your hair as long as you're honest about it.

I get the grays around the temple.

I look like Pauline Walnuts.

You've been dyeing your hair since you were 24 years old.

Let's end the stigma now.

Well, look, I'm with you on ending the

stigma but let me be let me be perfectly clear i have been done my hair is not gray other than the temples and it is and it's great and i'm fine with it but i play different characters all the time and it's not appropriate for them to have some weight you're ruining the stigma you're saying that you don't dye your hair for pleasure you do it for for for for work only uh i don't want to ruin the stigma but if i weren't playing characters like during during covid i let it i let it all hang out are you gray right now let's see let's see right now show me the temple no not now no because i'm project. You're preparing for maybe an audition.
You look great. You look great.
You look pretty good for a 41-year-old, right? Do you have someone else diet or do you do it yourself? I have highly trained professionals. I mean, listen, it's like working with my hair.
My whole look is like working with radio isotopes. You've got to be really, really careful.
It's just I am okay. The people who I get upset about are like Coach K, for example, who will not admit that he dyes his hair.
Let's end the stigma. Just say it.
Oh, for sure. If I dye my hair, I tell people.
I tweet like, hey, dyed my hair today because there's nothing to hide. It's just it sucks when I'm 35 and I look like I'm 50 when I don't dye my hair.
It sucks. So, yeah, call me vain.
Call me self-absorbed. I dye my hair and I'm not ashamed of it.
You're never going to get an argument from me about dudes doing stuff to look better. I think more of us should.
Yeah. That's a great one.
That's an awesome point. That's an awesome point.
looking our best. There's nothing wrong with that.
No problem with that. There's nothing.
That's why we love our girls because they do it. Right.
Every girl is raised in a culture where everybody looks good and wants to do this, that, and the other. But guys, let's face you know it's why i started a men's skincare line because there you go because i i i believe that every guy should try to be the best version of himself not just with how they look but with everything manicure and pedicure you know i've had them i feel like it's it's it's there are other things i could be doing with my time okay because Because that's my next hurdle is like I haven't been able to do it, but I know I bite my nails.
I got crap cuticles. They're bleeding all the time.
Someday. The massaging of the foot is very nice.
I haven't had it. So good.
I haven't had it, but I've heard that's the way that you – that's why you want to go. We're just dudes just talking about this.
Yeah. Wait's your, wait, what's your skincare thing? I need to buy that.
Oh, yeah, you'll love it. It's called Profile Cobalt, and you can get it.
Oh, look at you. That's smart to get dudes into it.
Like, we got to talk about a metal or something. Like, I got this new skincare product.
It's called. Murder Face.
Yeah, it's called Hemi 9000. Yeah, exactly.
I exactly i wanted yeah you i can't talk i don't want to show you guys i can't see you serums and things like that no no no guy wants that but um you know cobalt's the shit dude i've i um it's everything that i've learned over the years of going into you know i show up for work and people start lathering my face up with stuff. I never would have done it on my own.
And it's been happening to me since I'm 15. And I think you kind of see the results over all of the years of people doing, I would never do it on my own.
That's the issue. Guys don't do it.
They need to do it. They need to take care of their skin.
Who do you think looks better for their age? You or Paul Rudd? I love, first of all, I love Rudd. We worked together on Parks and Rec.
He was so funny and so hilarious. Frankly, I didn't realize how ancient he was.
I did not realize. I just thought he was a young man.
Turns out he's really old and just looks great. I didn't know that.
Good job deflecting the question. Yeah, really good job.
Right? See? We're going to get right back to this interview with Rob Lowe. Before we do, I want to talk to you about our good friends over at Roman and their nightly defense system they've got for your body.
If you've been dealing with acne, redness, dark spots, or wrinkles, finding treatment that works can be pretty complicated. You need skincare that actually performs, but getting started can be overwhelming.
I don't know if you've ever gone to a pharmacy, if you've walked through a CVS or a Walgreens, tried to figure out what you need to buy for your face, for your skin. It's impossible.
I don't know how anybody ever makes those decisions, but thankfully there's a solution. Roman makes it convenient to get customized prescription skincare that really performs.
Just grab your phone, get on your computer, either one, complete a free online consultation, and you're going to hear back from a U.S. licensed physician within 24 hours.

You also get free unlimited follow-ups with your doctor if you need to make a change to your treatment or if you have any questions. If things aren't getting better, that's right.
It's a free unlimited follow-up visit with your doctor if you need to make any change or if you have any questions about your treatment. With Roman, there are no commitments.

That's get Roman dot com slash barstool eligibility requirements and additional terms apply.

Now back to Rob Lowe. Given in 2020, do you think the politics of uh parks and recreation holds up well the one that i'm more worried about is is uh the west wing yeah yeah do you what do you what do you actually like in a real honest answer like i've seen that where people like oh my god i can't believe uh they glorified anything.
However, it may go down. Do you just step back? You're like, listen, it's a fucking TV show.
What do you want us to do? And it was 10 years ago when I was making the West Wing. I mean, listen, obviously, I knew we were portraying a liberal Democratic administration.
I mean, obviously, I knew that, but I didn't really realize how much of the success of the show. It turns out was because that audience loved it so much.
I assumed everybody loved it. Now with hindsight of a few, you know, 10 years, you realize that there were people like, oh, that liberal show, poppycock, which I never I was never aware of it when we were making it.
I really wasn't. Yeah.
One of my favorite things is when people go back and they try to ruin shows for themselves by thinking of what presidential candidate each character would have voted for. So, like, I saw that with the office a while back.
I'm sure some people did it with Parks and Rec. I actually think that I think you would have voted for Jill Stein.
I think you're a Stein voter. I think Chris Traeger would have written in Leslie Knope.
He would have been a write-in. He would have been a write-in guy.
He'd be like, my vote counts as much as anybody's. And he would have written in Leslie Knope.
Or maybe been like a Mayor Pete word salad where Mayor Pete just throws a bunch of words at you and you're like, I don't know what you're saying, but I love it. optimism i love your positivity yeah if we must try then we must make the effort mayor pete gave off very heavy chris trager energy yes yes he's an indiana guy yes yes yeah he's indy there you go he's probably from Pawnee i i saw that you were doing a show called The Mental Samurai.

Somehow that slipped through the cracks.

I didn't know that that show existed.

Hence,

the touch-up of the gray,

gentlemen,

on the temples.

Mental Samurai, yeah,

it's from the people who created

what's the fucking obstacle course show that's so famous that's been around? No, no, no. American Gladiators.
Thank you. And it's an amazing game show where people have to compete with their knowledge of every aspect of trivia and knowledge while in this NASA-inspired space arm that's subjecting them to Gs.
It's like the craziest, most fun. And by the way, it's so fun to do.
We did it last year, and we're starting our second season. I'm going to start shooting it in about three weeks.
It just sounds cool, the mental samurai. Yeah, the winner is the mental samurai.
You win a hundred thousand dollars or more and you're, and you're the mental samurai and you better know your, you better know everything from what you would, a Mensa member would know to what the third Kardashian's name is. Okay.
So I've always wondered like with Alex Trebek, because he's hosted Jeopardy for what, like 35, 40 years, something like that. Is he really smart by now? Does he retain all that knowledge that knowledge like when you're asking people trivia questions do you retain the answers that you're asking him no unfortunately because there's so much coming at you i think what you do is you go oh that's a question like you know you remember the question so you are would you consider yourself to be a mental samurai i'm really really good in certain areas.
In certain areas, I am a full-fledged mental samurai. And in other areas, I am a mental something else that we can't say because it's politically incorrect.
You're a dummy. Cuck.
You're a dummy. I'm dumb.
Are you actually going to do a Tiger King thing? Was picture just a tease so yeah so ryan murphy and i are talking about doing a tiger king uh uh tiger king show together and um that picture was um sort of a makeup test and um i i it just made that whole thing made me laugh. I loved everything about it.
I love the notion

of me playing tiger King. It's like drew Peterson, frankly, it's the same.
It's in the same vibe. And you know, a lot of times I don't get called on to do those kinds of things, but whenever I do like behind the candelabra or whatever, I just love it.
It's so like freeing. So Ryan and I are, we're working on it,

but,

uh,

we're having some rights issues.

Um,

there's so like freeing so ryan and i are we're working on it but uh we're having some rights issues um there's so many different competing projects carol baskin owns the zoo now yeah but well don't you think uh there's an element where you can't top something that is so so ridiculous like that the the documentary is so ridiculous that how are you going to get even bigger than that how are you going to get even like it's just so unbelievable that even i would imagine if you brought that script to a hollywood exec they'd be like no this is you got to tone it down a little bit yeah for sure and i think the only way to do it is is to do like what was happening behind the scenes of what you saw happening. So you could never regurgitate the big, amazing story beats.
you would have to do you'd have to have a different take on it which is why I was talking to Ryan Murphy

because Ryan has got such an interesting

way of coming about

stories but i i don't i my guess is where we are right now it's not looking as is very good because of the rights situation there got it damn it but uh it would be fun yeah you'd be very good joe exotic yes um when you're playing i have a question i I have a question for you guys. Yes.
What did you think about the Tiger Woods, Tom Brady, the whole goal? I mean, I'm sure you've talked about it a billion times and I probably just missed it. But I was so excited for it because I'm very much into golfing now.
And I thought it was a train wreck. You did.
You didn't like it. Why? I kind of liked the train wreck aspect of it though.
Here's the thing. I'm not a hate watcher.
I, I don't like to hate watch things. I just don't.
I don't. I know that's a whole thing and people love it.
It's just not for me. I don't know.
I'm probably not as evolved as, as others, but I was like, okay, it's South Florida. You know it could rain.
How does Tom Brady's mic go out on the first hole? How does it happen? So you didn't like – Okay, but in their defense, they had to have kind of a skeleton crew of technology. Like you saw it wasn't a ton of camera guys.
They had to reset a bunch, fair that's a fair assessment to start but what then i then i was like then another one and look i know i'm gonna sound like the nitpickiest nitty nitty picker man but like okay so they're teeing off and all of the balls land you know wherever they land in the fairway you kind of know there's, you know, they're going to, and there's like a golf cart parked there with like craft service on it. I'm like, what the fuck is no one paying attention? Is anyone directing this? Yeah.
I think it was, um, it was interesting to watch like superstar athletes, like Tom Brady suck at something. I think a lot of people enjoyed watching Tom Brady really stink it up for the first few holes,

and it kind of made him a little bit more relatable.

And when they missed that high five when Brady hit that putt, and they went up for the high five, and it was so awkward.

But in their defense, it was probably a more well-executed high five

than anything you see between golfers normally.

But I just liked all the weird stuff that was happening over the course of the show,

and it was just good to watch something at the same time as everybody else in America was watching something on TV. That part, I'm totally down.
I couldn't agree with you more. But the other thing is, as much as I love seeing Tom flounder, just because, as you said, it humanizes him.
And all I do is flounder on a golf course. I was like, oh yeah, I have that shot, that, that shank, that hook.
I would have liked to have seen it under better. I just, I just didn't love the way it was produced and, and, and, but I wanted to love it more.
I guess my expectations were really, really high, really high. I think maybe if it had been in california that would have been perfect because in south florida it's going to rain the entire time in the spring and early summer you should take that and i want to hear and i want to hear i mean you know peyton who's a friend and who's just the best and he'd get no one gets it like peyton he he knows he knows what people want peyton man to be and is.
He was genius on it. Funny.
You could feel him taking control of the broadcast actually because his instincts are so good. I think he was like, uh-oh, this is kind of a train wreck.
So he'd be in the cart talking into the camera and sort of narrating, and that part was great. I was surprised that the other guys were sort of seeded their sort of entertainment value, particularly when the play had gone so shitty.
You'd think that at least they would go, well, let's at least entertain people. So you are the Peyton Manning whisperer.
You broke news about Peyton Manning in the past. You're good friends with him.
Is he going to go into television? Is he going to get in the Monday Night Football booth? Didn't they offer him all that stuff and he turned it down? Yeah. Yeah.
You know better than I would. Well, I know, and I don't know anything personally.
I just know what I read. I read that they offered him the Monday Night Football booth.
But here's the thing. What exactly? How much money did they offer him um they offered him money that you read that you read i that i don't remember but it was it was like you know on par with what they signed re-signed romo to do huh who's obviously now the highest paid interesting did you and what did what did the newspaper and the media say why he didn't do it That you read.
Not that you know, but that you read. Here's my – I have an opinion on it.
Oh, okay. We'll do that route.
Okay, so pretend it's an opinion, not a fact that Peyton told you. Okay, go ahead.
And by the way, we actually have never, ever, ever discussed it. Of course not.
Rob just winked at us. I did not.
You're trying to – see see this is what i need to learn as a host yeah you are going to back me in to to click bait yes yeah and then we get you to say something about peyton manning and then we get peyton manning on the show to refute what you said then rob then you have us on your podcast and we can tell the story behind it and we can clear your

good name we've been doing this for a while as you said i know ecosystem you guys you guys know what's going on um as as peyton always says i can't believe my career uh uh insider stuff is being broken by soda pop curtis so what's your opinion on it here's my opinion I grew up

as we all did

with Monday So what's your opinion on it? Here's my opinion.

I grew up, as we all did, with Monday Night Football.

It was an event.

Everything stopped.

I had people over.

Everything rotated around it.

Granted, the world is different.

There's more outlets.

There's, you know, all of that. But the this that's football night in america which is genius is so great is because for whatever reason they've let monday night football go to the dogs and it's been that way for a at least five six seven seasons and they they're they they don't have the cameras they don't have the coverage they don't have they don't have there's no sense of okay here's the real issue there's no sense of occasion they're literally telling you this is monday and this is football but you feel like you're watching a game that could be on any day anywhere of any consequence and it's a disaster i think so the real question is are they going to make monday night football into something more than an afterthought yeah i i think that what you're saying goes back to the nfl's relationship with nbc as opposed to the relationship with espn for like the last 10 years so they've espn and the nfl have kind of been butting heads silently a little bit behind the scenes there's more you know, there's the new streaming rights that are going to come up soon.
The new TV package deal that's going to come up soon. So I think that the NFL has been intentionally not giving ESPN the very best games and leaving that flex option open for Sunday night.
So even if it looks like it might be a bad game, they can fix it, you know. So, yes, Sunday night football has seemed like for sure I agree with you on that and it's it look at it's not just the games although it is the games it's it again it's my it's my same issue with the Tiger Tiger Woods golf thing it's the production it's the quality of the announcers it's the it's the razzmatazz it's the open it's the do they have enough slow-mo cameras you know all of that stuff and they it just feels like it's a literally like an espn2 game so yeah it's like yeah yeah um all right so who do you have you already taped some of your podcasts we're going to air this right before so who who is going to be on um our our first two guests are Magic Johnson, who I've known forever.
And I was actually banned from traveling on the road with the Lakers by Pat Riley. Whoa.
Yeah. Why? Well, don't you think you have to get the podcast to hear that answer? When is it coming out? June 25th? Yeah, June 25th.
Is that what, a Monday? Yes, that's a Monday. So you got Magic Johnson and Chris Pratt.
We're debating who. We don't know which one we're going to air first yet.
No, it's a Thursday. June 25th is a Thursday.
Okay, good, good. So it's not going up against me.
Tell us just a little bit about cards. You gambled too much with them? Yeah.
What were you doing? Were you like an early day Alex Guerrero, and you were trying to feed Magic Johnson with all kinds of junk science on how he could elongate his career? Hey, Magic, rub this cobalt all over your face. Yeah.
Exactly. It was, it was cobalt.
No, I look, I just, I think I was a distraction. I mean, you have to understand I was, I was 22, three years old and a teen idol and, you know, got followed wherever I went by, you know, crazy chicks and the lobbies were packed with all that stuff, and Riley did not want the distractions.
I think maybe a fair question would be, why was Rob Lowe riding the Lakers team bus all the time to begin with? Because he's Rob Lowe. Because I was a massive, massive, massive, massive Lakers fan and always wanted to go on the road when they were playing Detroit or Boston because those were such hell holes and so tough for the Lakers.
And that was my thing. I was either making movies or I was following my favorite sports teams do you ever close your

eyes or like dream about like or just even think daydream about the brat pack days and be like man that was fucking awesome oh for sure i mean it was uh i well because my kids now are the same age i was. Well, actually, my kids are older

now than I was during

the Brat Pack era.

And I do look back on it and go, wait a minute. How the hell did I even survive it? Right.
Because I look at my own kids and their development, and look, they're smart kids, and they're accomplished. They've graduated from big, fancy schools, and they're smart as shit.
But I wouldn't place them with that kind of temptation and insanity that you live through. And very, you know, it's not it doesn't happen to everybody.
But like when you're that guy for that moment, it is very, very crazy. But it's also really fun.
Yeah. Was there were there any clubs in Los Angeles that you were not allowed to get into in those days?

No, they liked me in the clubs.

Oh, they liked me in the clubs.

Are you kidding?

I was good for business.

Yeah.

So the Lakers bus was the only place that Rob Lowe was like persona non grata.

No, the hotel.

It was the hotel.

Okay.

I have one question about Magic that I need an answer to.

Do you have any idea how he crafts his tweets?

I have a feeling that he doesn't actually physically tweet it.

He just texts his thoughts to someone who then tweets it.

But you know him well.

Do you have any idea how the sausage gets made?

Well, I'm going to ask him.

The good news is.

You want to call him? I'm going to ask him. The good news is...
You want to call him?

I'm going to ask him.

Yeah, we could call him right now.

Just FaceTime.

My phone got taken away

so it wouldn't go off during this podcast.

We don't mind if your phone goes off.

We'll just call him.

Oh, look, I'm writing right now

magic tweets.

Now I'm giving you ideas for your podcast. I love it.
I'm going to have you. I'd rather you call.
Can you do? Yeah. Come on.
I want you guys to do my briefing prep because you're clearly better at it than I am. I would never have asked that.
So you haven't interviewed him yet? No. Magic is, I'm interviewing him in three days.
Damn it. All right.
You're not allowed to use that question, though. Well, no.
Call him and ask him. Make sure, reconfirm that you're going to, he's set for three days from now.
And then also be like, how do you tweet? How about this? I will text you or tweet at you. Okay.
Good. And give you the answer.
That's fine. That works.
Yeah. works yeah that works that works i think a lot of people um don't physically tweet i really do i think a lot of people um just have people who just say hey why don't you tweet this out right but i'll find out yes okay perfect and then that will be a great seamless plug that we have the actual hey roblo talk to magic johnson for more with roblo and magic johnson tune in on thursday it's going to be great which lakers superstar went partying with roblo and then went oh for 32 in the finals tune in on june 25th to find out was or you could just run the stat or or yeah was it jamesy? Or you could run the stats.
I feel like it was mustache, old mustache, man. I'm not going to comment, no matter what you say.
Pau Gasol. You've got to think of the era, bro.
0 for 32. 0 for 32.
No, this is the problem. This is how you're going to get me, because you're smart.
0 for 32. Because you know how to Google.
Finals.

It probably was the finals against the Bulls because they lost 4-1.

Hold on.

Oh, wait.

No, but that was a little past your time maybe in terms of when you were partying with them.

Hmm.

I'm not finding it on Google right now.

Shoot.

Thank God.

Ah. All right.
Well, I'll tune in to find out.

James Worthy.

not James Worthy not James Worthy

who was it

just tell us

I know I could tell you

I think you're doing a good job

making this up Rob Lowe

that was actually an incredible

thing to make up

by the way it's absolutely a true story I have a question for you I heard Eric Roth on the podcast Yes Is he going to write the Boner Dog movie or not? Like what's happening? Are you in it? No I don't think we've officially asked you You've never asked me but I'm so down i'm fucking there oh you know what we did we actually haven't uh casted the pubes yet and since you dye your hair it's always beautiful there is you'd be perfect for the pubes i like that yeah so he is gonna wait wait wait wait wait wait a second it's animated i need to i need to run this like i run the rest of my career i I need to know who else, what other creative elements are involved. Like who is lending their voice? Who's attached? Yes.
Who's attached? Adam Sandler. Wait, let's do actually attached.
So we have attached a couple people that haven't actually been attached. Adam's attached.
Adam's attached. Yeah.
Zac Efron is attached. Great.
Topher Grace. Topher Grace is attached.
Jimmy Tatro is attached. David Spade.
David Spade's attached. Eric Roth is attached.
Kevin Garnett is attached. Who else is attached? Who are we leaving now? Dan Patrick is attached.
Dan Patrick is attached. We're attached.
I think that's really it. Matthew Lowe is attached.
All you need. Have you ever heard of Matthew Lowe? Upcoming actor.
Hat designer. Hat designer.
He's attached. Hat designer.
Yep, he's attached. I just know that this is the only way I'm going to get Eric Roth to write dialogue for me.
Yes. He'll do it.
Yes. It's actually a little bit more complicated because he's going to write the script, and he's going to hide it somewhere and then leave us clues.
So we have to find the script that he wrote. But I feel like we're clever enough to find it.
And it's going to be an animated film. It's going to shoot.
We're going to tape all the voiceovers on the same island that they did Firefest on. Let's go.
This sounds like the greatest movie ever made. Yeah.
Oh, I have one last question i just just popped my head tune in rob low with magic johnson you got to run him first now you realize that because we've hyped it up enough but uh that's the plan the plan is absolutely to run magic magic first is there although i'm gonna have to break the news to chris pratt yeah he won't be happy he'll be okay but is there any part of like interviewing magic you get a little nervous that he might uh just like black out for a second and think you're rob palenka and be like fuck this guy yeah that's true that's a thing you see i'm so glad i did this ask that before i you maybe say a rob palenka quote like do rob palenka's press conference where he blamed magic for everything and see like the, the visceral reaction that magic gives you. Well, you know, so before the season got canceled, the Lakers, they do a thing for their long time season ticket holders at the practice facility.
And Jeannie bus, who again, I've known all of this, the Laker family forever asked me to do this bit. So we did this bit where she came out and she said listen this is what we're thinking for this year and rob's got a lot of plans for the for the team and wants to talk to you about some of the players and rob's really got a vision and blah blah and i came out as as palenka and and talked about the team and people people did not understand what the fuck we were trying to do but it was fun not not good enough sports fans because i get it i love it i love it um all right well i'm excited for this podcast i think you're gonna be great at it uh you have our stamp of approval our blessing not that you needed it yeah you have it you have it now i want it yeah you can put it in like the description we'll actually leave a five-star review for you.
Please. And I assume you can get it everywhere?

Like that goes without saying?

Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, anywhere you get your podcasts.

Love it.

So check it out.

It is coming out June 25th.

Rob Lowe, his first interview is going to be with Magic Johnson,

and it is called Literally with Rob Lowe. Literally

with Rob Lowe. Love it.

Literally. Literally.

Thank you. Thank you, Rob.
Who's the guy? Who's the guy?

I just literally, while we were talking, I

scrolled through every NBA Finals. I couldn't find it.

I don't know if I feel

good saying it because he went

over 30. Do you know what I'm saying?

I have to walk a very fine...

Did they lose? They lost the Finals? People are going to find out who it is, though. They lost the finals that year? I believe they...
You know, honestly, I don't... Because...
Because the fucking 80s were awesome. Because the 80s were awesome? I don't remember.
All right. I'm going to put that in.
Fuck it. All right, thanks so much, man.
Thanks, guys. You're the best.
We're going to get right back to the show. Have you ever had to put your plans on hold due to symptoms of generalized myasthenia gravis or GMG? Like taking that weekend trip, talking with friends, or enjoying a meal.
Learn about a treatment option that may help. Visit treatgmg.com to learn more.
That's treatgmg.com. All right, back to part of my take.
Actually, using that roller stuff with the freeze, it just made me think back to when I used to use Icy Hot. You just feel like more of an athlete when you smell a little bit like menthol.
And I think that also had something to do with it. It just gets you in the zone.
I was just thinking this. This popped in my head.
What would be the funniest funniest statue that gets thrown into a river the jaguar statue that the kid got his head stuck in that would be a very funny one uh the ted william statue where he's like taking a kid's he's stealing a child's ball cap yeah disney walt disney i was saying that i said this as a joke last week but i thought that dan snyder was going to build a statue to george marshall just so he could take that down and have that be like a big win for him. Turns out there was actually a statue of George Marshall that got taken down over the weekend.
Got it. So, yeah, I'm trying to think.
We got to find the statue that like – Oh, the Cristiano Ronaldo statue. Yeah.
The one where he looks like a – Ronaldo should have his people take it down and be like, yeah, it's because we're canceling him.

Yeah, well, because of the things he's been accused of.

But the one where he looks like an emaciated seagull.

Yeah.

Let's take down that statue.

You know who could actually get pulled down?

Paul Bunyan.

Really?

Yeah.

Why?

Logging.

Logging, true.

Good point.

Good point.

All right.

We got a Stay Woke, and then we're going to do some Mount Rushmore. PFT, you have a Stay Woke? The Robert Griffin statue.
Yes. Yeah, he advertises for Subway, so did Jared.
Yep. Pull that thing down in Waco.
Yep. So, yeah, we're doing Mount Rushmore right now, or are we doing Stay Woke? No, we're doing your Stay Woke.
Okay, Stay Woke. This comes to us from Kyle Kuzma.
So we talked last week on the show about how the NBA was going to give their players rings

to monitor whether or not they were becoming symptomatic for the COVID virus.

Kyle Kuzma thinks that the rings are actually just tracking devices

to keep tabs in their locations at all points.

But aren't they?

Like, isn't that – aren't they admitting that?

I think they are.

I think the rings do have some sort of GPS.

When you're so woke that you're just maybe reading the manual to the ring.

Yeah.

Like,

Thank you. admitting that? I think they are.
I think the rings do have some sort of GPS on this phone. When you're so woke that you just you're just maybe reading the manual to the ring.
Yeah. Of course it's a tracking ring.
They take all of your vital signs. Yeah.
I love the thought of maybe Brian Windhorst just having like some, he's in a van like it's a heist. He's got this giant monitor pulled up where he's just keeping track of all the dots from the players and who's hanging.
This guy's too close to LeBron. Is it titanium rings? Because someone was tweeting at me saying that if they do get hurt, you can't cut that off.
You can't cut their finger off? You can't cut titanium. Oh, shit.
So if they break their finger below the ring. Yeah, and it swells.
You can't with diamond. Diamond cuts everything.
Diamond cuts titanium? Yeah, it's like rock, paper, scissors, shoot. So diamond cuts titanium.
So who is the big diamond knife salesman that stands to gain from an injury? I think we just wrote Uncut Gems 2. He's not actually dead.
Sorry if you haven't seen it. Shit.
You got to smash the ring with Kevin Garnett's medallion.

I like that.

It did make me stay a little bit woke.

You remember that picture of LeBron James staying at the end of the bench

far away from his teammates?

Yep.

You know how all of last year he tried to trade away all the players

that were next to him?

Knowing what we know now about LeBron James' financial ties to the Chinese government, do you think he got tipped off ahead of time and was like, hey, I have to stay away from people so much that I'm going to try to send them all to New Orleans? That's why he sat out the entire end of the season? Yeah. Okay, that's too much.
That's too much for your brain. Just think about it.
All right, let's do our Mount Rushmore. Mount Rushmore, a stadium pump-up songs.
This is a good Mount Rushmore, Hank. Just stadium songs.
Stadium songs. But do they get you pumped up? There's different situations.
Okay, I don't know if that... So am I pumped? Yeah, now I'm eager to hear what Hank has to say.
Okay, so Hank, why don't you start? And then we'll go PFT, then me, and then Billy will do his four Mount Rushmore lifts at the end. So just sit back.
Like, I just think of songs when you're in a stadium or watching a game, whether it's, like, basketball, hockey, football. When it comes on, you get the most, I guess, pumped up, but, like, excited, happy, whatever.
Okay, I think we're all on the same page. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, hey, hey, goodbye.
Okay, yeah. When that song comes on, it means your team is up.

Is that your first pick?

It's a blowout.

Yeah, I guess I'll do it as my first pick.

Okay.

I had that on my list.

That's a good one.

It's great when the other team takes a pitcher out.

Yeah, if that song comes on, you know you're winning,

and you're just celebrating, having a great time,

taunting the opposite team together.

It's always a good one.

Okay, I like that one.

Probably would have been my first one,

but it's not necessarily a pump-up song so yeah yeah i said it all right my first one

i'm gonna go with sandstorm okay sandstorm always gets the crowd bouncing

man what's the what's the major college football program that you said is that usc

south carolina virginia tech no virginia tech does not they do inner sandman they do inner

sandman yeah uh i don't know who does you should know what virginia tech uses big cat

Thank you. Virginia Tech.
No, Virginia Tech does not. They do Inner Sandman.
They do Inner Sandman? Yeah. I don't know who does.
You should know what Virginia Tech uses, Big Cat. Why? Because they get really pumped up.
But I've never played them at Virginia Tech. You've never gone in their lane? I've never played them at Virginia Tech.
Oh, U.S. South Carolina.
Yeah, thanks. There it is.
All right, my first one, I'll go with Who Let the Dogs Out.

Always Get Pumped Up.

Okay.

Always Get Pumped Up.

Sing along.

Always Get Pumped Up.

And then my second one, I'll go with the Zombie Nation.

The oh, oh, oh, oh.

Seven Nation Army.

Seven Nation Army?

Yeah.

What is that?

White Stripes.

Is that what it is? Yeah.

Is that the one I'm talking about?

Zombie Nation.

Shall henceforth be known as Zombie Nation? No, I think it's two different songs. Zombie Nation is a different thing.
Yeah. What's Zombie Nation? Zombie Nation is like the Kencraft, like zombie.
All right, so I want the 001. You got Seven Nation Army.
Okay. That one's good.
I'm going to Wichita. Wait, wait, wait.
No, no, wait, wait, wait. There's two.
There's two. I don't.
I don't. I want the one that...
Wait, hold on. I got to find it in my head.
Yeah, wait, wait. No, no, no, no.
Stop doing that. Stop doing that.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. I know what you're doing.
I don't think that's a song. I think that's just a natural chant.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah, that's the one I want.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. That's Zombie Nation.
That's Zombie Nation. Yeah, okay.
That's Zombie. Put me down for that one.
Okay. I knew I could find it.
There we go, Billy. Thank you.
I'm taking Seven Nation Army. If that one's becoming available, that was my second pick anyways.
So wait, did you do two? Yeah, I did. Who let dogs out? Who let dogs out? Okay, good.
Can I please do one? No. No.
All right. Seven Nation Army.
I mean, we should give some respect to Seven Nation Army because you do not need even the song going. Just the crowd can start chanting that and everyone joins in.
Is Billy going to do one of his lifts? No, he's going to do it at the end. All right.
I'll go with Thunderstruck. Good choice.
And I'll go with Victory, like Puff Daddy Biggie. The one.
One, two. Okay.

That's a great one.

Okay.

Inter-Sandman.

I'm going to go Inter-Sandman.

Yes.

Inter-Sandman's great.

The intro starts out like nice and quiet, the perfect build.

By the end of it, everyone's just coming to the stadium at the same time when the full song kicks in.

So whether it's Virginia Tech playing it on a Thursday night game in Blacksburg,

that's pretty intense.

And then, obviously, Mariano Rivera.

All right, I'll go with Welcome to the Jungle, Guns N' Roses.

And, yeah, that pumps you up.

That pumps you up.

And then I'll go with the old classic Eye of the Tiger.

Always get you pumped up.

Always get you going.

I have some personal ones I'll do on the honorable mention. my last one i'm gonna go we are the champions after you win a significant title

hearing we are the champions played in the arena is always great what i love about we are the

champions is that even opposing arenas will play it at the end of whether it's a seven game series

if it's a stanley cup final hypothetically in las vegas nevada and you win it on the road i saw it

Thank you. will play it at the end of whether it's a seven-game series, if it's a Stanley Cup final, hypothetically, in Las Vegas, Nevada, and you win it on the road.
I saw it last year in Boston when the Blues won. It stunk.
It stinks for the home crowd, but it's such a transcendental song that they're like, we have to show respect to Queen and Freddie Mercury and blast this. By the way, how much money has Queen and Freddie Mercury's estate hauled in over the years? A lot.
Just from every time that gets played? A lot. Anything that's ever won.
We've got to write a championship song. Hank, your last pick.
Stop, Billy. Jump around.
I'm shocked it made it that far. Yeah, I didn't want to do...
I mean, when that song comes on, you have no choice but to get hype. Yeah.
I thought it was too personal, so I didn't want to go with the personal choices. I mean, they don't just play it at Wisconsin.
No, I know, but that's what you think of when you think of jump around. That's what you think of.
That's what I think a lot of people think of that. I think of Boston first.
Yeah. House of Pain.
Yeah. I think when you think of Enner Sandman, you think of Mariano Rivera, Virginia Tech.
There's definitely teams that have specific. Well, it's synonymous with it, but you should have picked it in your top four.
Okay, sorry. Wow.
Okay, sorry. Wait, you guys do Hang On, Sloopy, Sloopy, Hang On, right? I'll get it.
Ohio State does it. Oh, Ted Nugent's Stranglehold.
The Blackhawks play that. It's a fucking great pump-up song.
I like to move it. I didn't know if the Bulls intro could be counted just because that's specific.
But that one obviously is all-time pump-up. What else? Cotton Eye Joe, the dance remix of it.
Yeah. Kyle Schwarber used to come into Thuggish Ruggish Bone, and that's a great walk-up song.
That one gets you pumped up. Firestarter by Prodigy.
Blur, song two. Yeah.
Anything else? The Outfield, Your Love. Yeah, that's a great one.
Okay. I got a punch.
That's a crazy train. No, no, you're doing lifts, dude.
Iron Man. You're doing lifts.
You're doing lifts. Hell's Bells.
You're doing lifts. Go ahead.
You're doing lifts. Okay.
Deep, heavy squats. Ask the grass.
Ask the grass. Like, super anabolic.
Just get your metabolism going. Get your, like, it's the best way to start a workout and then, like, do something.
Oh, that's your warm-up? No, no, no. Just, like, it's my first work set.
I honestly, like, almost want to, like, do a max squat right now. Like, that, super pumped up but yeah it did it I'm so not a Brad D okay now that killed my vibe uh so like deep squats and then of course Billy frat ball hammer curls dude I'm not even a frat frat guys are assholes go off go to a school that I don't even think it's big enough dude I went to a school with frats and I was with my buddy and we got jumped.
You're all like... I'm sure you did nothing wrong.
You fight ten on like two, you assholes. I'm sure you did nothing wrong.
The frat was actually called Beta. I'm actually going to call them out.
I'm not going to say where they are, but Beta frat, you better get your boys. A bunch of alphas coming through.
Billy definitely tried to steal their keg and all their girlfriends. He's like, dude, what the fuck? Then bicep curls, another one, of course.
Of course. That's like a fun.
You're lifting, having fun. It's a Friday, like arm farm.
So just hit bicep curls and just be an absolute douchebag. Billy, I don't like the fact that you put bicep curls in here.
I know, but it's like a fun... I don't.
That's something that you should make fun of. Oh, we don't have a lift today? Let's go do bicep curls in the NARP gym.
What's the matter? You can't do pull-ups? You can't do rows? Pull-ups are pretty anabolic. Yeah, why don't you do something that incorporates your full body? You gotta throw a bench on there.
Yeah, I gotta throw a bench. And then, um...
Let me And then, let me think. I mean, pull-ups would be a good one, but...
No, I just took pull-ups. I know.
Let me think. How do you not have four, dude? I have...
I thought... Skull crushers.
I'm going to put my last one skull crushers. Because those, like, you hit the tries and the...
It's insane. It's like when you get a sick pump, like, dude, it's like there's no – I don't even like to work out.
You hit your bies when you do skull crushers? You just like to get the good pump. I just, like, I'm addicted to the pump.
Have you watched the Arnold Schwarzenegger when he's coming? He's coming. I'm coming.
I'm coming every day. All day.
I'm coming. He used to do bicep curls until he passed out.
Yeah, the blood rushes to your – like, so much, like, that's what happens. It's awesome.

It's like,

there's no better high

than just having a sick pump.

Like, this is like,

I'm serious.

I kind of agree, dude.

I don't work out,

but I agree.

Just like,

that pump is like,

nothing better.

Dude, I might just start benching.

What about deadlifts?

I don't like deadlifts.

I have a,

my core,

my torso's too long, so I always slip discs. It sucks.
Yeah. So I can't deadlift.
You're also kind of fat now. Yeah.
Well, that's a proven point. You're very fat now.
I work out. Okay.
You know what? A lot of people have a lot worse problems during the pandemic. That's why we put you on the whoop.
But when you take a college football player who's doing workouts every week, four times a week, and then you just say, okay, no more, and then he has to deal with the diet he was eating,

this is what happens.

Thoughts and prayers, Bill.

That sounds very difficult for you.

I know, a lot of people have many more problems.

But I got fat because of corona.

The worst part about this virus

that's killed 110,000 people

is that my gains have somewhat lacked.

My strength has gone up because I don't run.

I just lift.

Okay, never mind.

That's too much about me.

No, no, this is good.

I don't have anything else.

I just eat too much.

I just can't stop eating.

That's why they put me on whoop for my life.

Don't go Jetskings.

The only thing I have a problem with with squats is that if you post a video of your squat online, your form is never good enough for the common sense. I bet I could do one right now that's perfect form and no one will chirp me.
I guarantee you're wrong. We'll do that.
We'll do it after. We'll put it out.
Critique Billy's squat performance. Yes.
All right. We do actually have one last thing.
We have Phil Mushnick's article from the New York Post the other day where he's out against vulgarity. So I'm, I'm so excited that we have this because you have to wonder, we're just talking about Billy getting fat, like the side effects of the pandemic.
One of them being old white baseball writers have no outlet to get mad. Well, here's where they're at.
So this feels good that we can get the anger up on something so trivial and stupid like using the F word. I'm kind of glad that Phil Mushnick has to go through this period with no sports because getting his mind applied to the real ills of our society is what we've been waiting for.
So here's the title. Mets Pete Alonzo, part of sports growing vulgarity problem.
I didn't know it was a problem. I didn't know it was growing, but here we are.
All right. Some wrongs are not difficult to write.
As my friend Mark Morley says, it's not rocket surgery. Okay.
Mark Morley sounds hilarious. Yet and for no good reasons, we sink lower every day by pathetic design.
Meanwhile, the modern marketing and tv content rationale has become it's no worse than this or it's no worse than that what okay where's he going very confused but this is this man the modern help what is the modern tv market getting worse than this worse than i don't know all right but what is it even better than yes we're wondering for example this you know what this sounds like this sounds like somebody texted phil and was like hey phil just start a sentence off with the modern profanity crisis in sports and then let auto complete finish the rest of your column just by clicking the thing that is being suggested to you on your phone he is he's writing something like this would be what would happen if we told billy he needs to have a column within 20 minutes he just throw this out there just asking weird questions you know asking yourself questions all right so but what is it even better than for example the mets and mlb seem to have no problem with the team's traditional marketing slogan let's go mets having added. Having added a vulgarity.
Gasp. Now, cued by young Pete Alonzo, it's LFGM.
Let's freaking go Mets. Let's freaking go Mets.
And this was really started by Tom Brady with his constant LFGs. I can't believe professional athletes swear.
So if he knows the F word is so vulgar and inappropriate that it must hide behind its initial. Why use it? Why not instead lose it? I like that.
Like either. I actually kind of agree with that.
Either fucking say it or don't. So have the shirts that the Mets are saying.
Let's fucking go. Yeah.
They would sell way more of those. Bro, you got to either own it or not.

Don't give me that F.

Go all the way.

To emphasize anything, it now seems as if you have to add or throw in the F word.

Those spray paint armed quote unquote protesters.

That means Phil doesn't really think they're protesting.

George Soros bus ticket holders is what Phil is saying.

Desecrated the outside of St. Patrick's Cathedral, after all.
Couldn't stop with BLM. They stopped it with a large F, and then he had dot, dot, K.
Frick. So it said on the church, like, BLFM? No, it said BLM, and then somewhere else it also said, fuck, leave that out.
I love that Phil is rightfully focusing in on the most important part of the Black Lives Matter movement. Listen, I was with Black Lives Matter, and then they used the F word.
Until they dropped some vulgarity on it. Now, I don't know if I understand their message.
I guess that word is to prove you really, really mean it or really, really care. Or it's just phil fuck you dude that was fun also phil he's writing the like lfgm in this article right right is he ever saying fuck in there or is he just by writing this article phil mustrick has made probably hundreds of thousands of americans think about the word fuck it sounds to me like phil's part of problem.
He's absolutely part of the problem. All right, here we go.
Here we go. We got some drama with the Mets pick, first pick.
Pete Crow Armstrong, the Mets first pick, has already joined the movement. He tweeted, LFGM.
LFGM t-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs, bumper stickers, and even virus masks are now for sale. Reminds me of when the NFL sold framed photos of Marshawn Lynch grabbing his crotch.
Damn. That's a deep shot.
That is... Phil just got over that.
Phil's got... He has like a filing cabinet of grievances he's had in the past that he needs to bring into the modern day.
Like the Marshawn Lynch thing. He probably is still mad about the Randy Moss fake mooning incident.
If you ask me if there's one four-letter word that needs to be gotten rid of in order to cleanse people's eyes and ears in the world of sports, it would be Mets, not fuck. Mets.
Again, it's not rocket surgery. The Mets, MLB, and Alonzo's, and Crow Armstrong's agents can't ask them to cut it out? Question mark.
Or is it protected under the collective bargaining agreement? Now, you know it's not. You know it's not, Phil.
What would a reasonable response be to please, for the sake of common public decency, stop? Waterboarding? Well, no, he answered himself. Go F yourself? Yes, that absolutely would be a response.
Alonzo can't do better?

By the time he retired, CeCe Sabathia, proud family man,

oh no, this is going to take a turn,

seemed unable to speak a sentence without including a string of vulgarities.

I love that he added proud family man.

Rob Gronkowski must have negotiated his Patriot contracts to include bonuses

for cursing and speaking sexual crudities during TV interviews.

Phil does not like the 69 jokes.

Well, dude.

This guy is awesome.

Wasn't Gronk's brother his agent at some point?

Because I can see that being written into his contract.

I love this.

Phil needs to exist.

We need these people to continue to exist.

Weekday Boomer Esiason apparently...

He just missed a word here. Weekday Boomer Esiason.
Is that like saying a Monday morning quarterback? Like a Weekday Boomer Esiason is a second-rate morning show DJ? Weekday Boomer Esiason apparently thinks that crudity is the key to radio rating success. Showtime paired two of the NBA's all-time worst acts, Matt Barnes and Steven Jackson.
I'm shocked Phil's not a fan of those guys. For no other apparent reason than they...
Those guys are great. They're fucking awesome.
Who doesn't like them? Heffing awesome. All the smoke.
For no apparent reason than they had earned very bad reputations and they often said mother effer and the N-word on air.'s the upside for now and later we grow coarser that's a good thing freedom of expression is supposed to leave us all lower would alonzo teach the kids in his life to speak vulgarities he can't do any better dad what does the f stand for go ask uncle rob manfred he said kids are mlb's's top priority. Yeah, there you go.
Think of the children. What a fucking column.
Yeah, how will somebody explain to my child what the F stands for? That's kind of your job as a parent. MLB has a problem trying to grow the game to younger kids and that problem starts with LFGM.
Yeah. Every player should talk like Philip Rivers, and then the world would be a much better place.
I like this guy, Phil. He's a fucking idiot, and I really mean the fucking part.
It would be a shame if people said fuck to him. Fucking idiot Phil.
Mushnick. Mushnick.
Mushnick. Yeah.
Yeah, he's a legend. Every time I see his column pop up online it's always for the same reason which is this column sucks ass he's out there doing it the world needs this guy otherwise we have way too many people to just make sense I agree with that 100% we need shitty columnists shitty columnists make sports more fun while they're trying to make it less fun.

Right.

Exactly.

So, all right.
