Speaker 1 Whether it's true if he

Speaker 1 won in kickball when he played a huge game that made headline news on just Jared.

Speaker 3 Really, just Blake versus TMZ. That's been the big rivalry.
Very funny.

Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take presented by the Cash App. Go download it right now and go into their Twitch channel, twitch.tv/slash cash app.

Speaker 1 Leave your cash tag and they're giving away free money every single time they go live on Twitch. Today is Monday, June 8th, and the Tennessee Volunteers are national champions.

Speaker 3 Felt like 98. Woo!

Speaker 1 Good job. Now,

Speaker 1 full disclosure, we're taping this three hours before kickoff. I am so scared.
So, so scared, but I also feel confident that I'm going to win. I'm going to win.

Speaker 3 Are you going to put your statement in right now?

Speaker 1 I'm going to win this game. Right in blood.
And we're going to put in,

Speaker 1 should we do it right now, Hank? Where whatever happens, we're going to put in the last 30 seconds of the game into this moment.

Speaker 6 How about you tell us how it feels to be a champion first?

Speaker 1 Okay. Well, no,

Speaker 3 first things first, question from the press. Yeah, yeah.
Are you going to return to Tennessee next year?

Speaker 1 I am the head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers, and the coaching carousel is going to be tonight, Monday night.

Speaker 1 As of right now, I'm the head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers.

Speaker 3 Oh, we need to order a Papa John's pizza and take a picture of you eating a sad Papa John's like Urban Meyer just in case you lose.

Speaker 1 Sorry, PFT, but it's actually cheat day was yesterday. Fuck.
So that's

Speaker 1 what you're the next.

Speaker 3 I'm sure there are plenty of pictures of Big Cat eating that you can Photoshop him and take.

Speaker 1 I am the head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers. We're going to find out if I still will be the head coach of the Volunteers on Monday night.
But, Hank, yes, it feels great. Five years coaching.

Speaker 1 It feels great to finally win the big one. That's it.
I mean, it was a fucking great game. I dominated from

Speaker 1 the start. Listen, Virginia Tech.
Now I'm really putting myself in a bad spot.

Speaker 3 I'm rooting for you against Virginia Tech.

Speaker 1 I hate the Hokies.

Speaker 3 I've got a long personal grudge against the Hokies. Fuck the Hokies Tech Hokies.
Fuck them.

Speaker 1 All right, so we're going to put in, let's put in the clip right here. This is me right after the game, win or lose, but we all know I won.

Speaker 3 You won. Right.
Guess what, Hokies? You can't bring your keys with you to Pasadena and jingle them around on third down.

Speaker 1 It would actually be unsafe if they didn't bring their keys. Because the fact that that's a road

Speaker 3 do you bring your keys with you when you drive? They're not driving across the country, are they?

Speaker 1 No, but I mean your house keys.

Speaker 3 You think you bring your keys with you out to a game when you're on vacation?

Speaker 1 Hey, house keys.

Speaker 3 As the vacation expert, what are we talking about right now?

Speaker 3 But do you take your house keys with you to a game that you're going to if you're in another state?

Speaker 6 You say vacation expert like it's a bad thing. I will gladly retain that title.

Speaker 1 And yes, duh.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Where do you just like dig a hole and bury your keys and then head out for a week?

Speaker 1 No, I typically like. You're like a hotel?

Speaker 3 No, I keep my house keys in like a suitcase or in a backpack.

Speaker 1 You're just used to carrying my keys around.

Speaker 3 It's a weird move to go out like to a restaurant in a different city or different state and bring your house keys from 10 hours away.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you just have your keys keys on you.

Speaker 1 The bottom line is: Virginia Tech sucks and their traditions are stupid.

Speaker 3 And I won.

Speaker 1 And you won. I won.
Congratulations. Here it is.
Here is the post-game press conference right after it happened, right now.

Speaker 1 Fucking A, man.

Speaker 1 I'm pressing. This game's over.

Speaker 3 I can't believe this.

Speaker 1 No one's there. No one's there.
Biggest game of my life, and I fucking throw an egg. People are calling for my job.
I'm playing week one tomorrow.

Speaker 1 I don't know with who, but week one is tomorrow night.

Speaker 1 It's a minor setback for a major comeback, okay?

Speaker 1 Okay, I won. Congratulations, hopefully, big deal.

Speaker 3 Damn it, if I lose, that's gonna be so bad.

Speaker 1 All right, let's get to the next issue. PFT is

Speaker 1 a dummy.

Speaker 3 I fucked up.

Speaker 1 You're a fucking sh-

Speaker 3 Listen, my brains are very bad. I've never pretended to be good at it.

Speaker 1 Explain it though, because I actually don't think that your brain's that bad because it took me a really long time to figure it out.

Speaker 3 I've never pretended to be good at math or mental math or anything like that. I took algebra two three times.
I think I got a D plus in it my third time. It's not how my brain works.

Speaker 1 We as a podcast, we've said it, and this is counting.

Speaker 1 Hank, Liam, myself, PFT, we, the four of us, I guess Billy too, although Billy's sneaky be like, oh, I took all those maths.

Speaker 3 Billy is good at male calculations. We have never

Speaker 1 ever been even in the same room as calculus. Calculus has never been in the same room as us.
Not a textbook, not a formula. I've never even seen it.
We went to one class and and I walked out. Yeah,

Speaker 3 we've never been. Yeah, we're not a math person.

Speaker 1 Billy, don't ruin it. Stats are for losers.

Speaker 3 I got a four on AP Calf.

Speaker 1 I know, you are that shit. Shut up, you loser.

Speaker 3 Billy knows how to enter equations into a calculator. Good job, Billy.
All right. So what happened? So what happened was

Speaker 3 Peloton was putting together a ride. 89's not an A.

Speaker 1 After we interviewed TI 89. Oh.
Oh.

Speaker 3 Texas Instruments.

Speaker 3 After we interviewed Booger McFarland on Friday as part of my take, Peloton put together a ride, and there was another company called Axios, I believe, who said for everybody that signs up for this ride that had already taken place, but they're like, if you replay this ride at 11 a.m.

Speaker 3 on Saturday, we will pay $100 to the NAACP for every person that's there. I posted because we always do a Saturday ride.
I said, let's do this, and it's going to raise a bunch of money for charity.

Speaker 3 And then just like on a whim, I did the calculations and I was like, well, like, you know, On a typical Saturday ride, we get anywhere between 200 and 400 people there.

Speaker 3 On a live ride, that's easy to find. This is harder to find.
You have to go back through the archives and find it and track it down. So, yeah, you know what?

Speaker 3 I think that we'll probably max out 200 to 400 people there. Whatever, no big deal.
I'll match the $100

Speaker 3 per rider of anyone that's wearing the Buns of Anarchy hashtag on the leaderboard.

Speaker 3 Now, in my head, I thought that meant I was going to owe anywhere between $2,000 and $4,000, which is, I feel like, a good amount of money, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, times 10. Now, do you think that the extra $90 to bridge from 10 to 100, was that your white guilt?

Speaker 3 Yes, probably. I don't care what it was that got me there.
Probably a lot of white guilt, yeah. But

Speaker 1 people are going to be like, thanks for finally speaking up, big cat.

Speaker 3 I followed up on this, right? And somebody was like, to be clear, if I have that hashtag in my leaderboard tag, $200 total is going to the NAACP, 100 from Axios, 100 for me. Right.

Speaker 3 And I was like, yeah, 100 is from Axios. They're the company that set it up.
So if there's 250 people on the leaderboard, on the Buns of Anarchy leaderboard, I'll personally give $2,500.

Speaker 3 And then somebody replied, I think that math would be $25,000. Right.
And I said, oh, shit, fuck. Fuck shit.
Okay.

Speaker 3 I said what I said.

Speaker 3 I can't take it back at that point.

Speaker 1 Yeah, good question.

Speaker 1 I sketch it. Listen, when you texted it to us on Friday night,

Speaker 1 I might have had just had an edible, but it did actually take me like 20 minutes to fully comprehend your mistakes. So I don't think it was that.

Speaker 1 you don't beat yourself up. I would easily make that same mistake where I was like, what is why? I had this moment.
I was like, PFT is freaking out for no reason.

Speaker 1 Dude, 250 people? That's literally two grand.

Speaker 3 I'd rather be off by a factor of 10 than be off by like a factor of three that just shows I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to math. At least I just forgot to move the decimal point one place.

Speaker 3 That's all I do. So

Speaker 1 you are Michael Scott.

Speaker 3 It is Scott's top. It is my Scott's test moment.

Speaker 1 You have

Speaker 1 guaranteed how much of the title?

Speaker 3 I was watching the leaderboard on Saturday morning, and I was like, fuck, I hope that nobody finds this class.

Speaker 3 Although it goes to a good cause, I'm still thinking I've committed myself way, way too far into this that I can't afford.

Speaker 3 And the numbers just kept going up.

Speaker 3 I think people were just, people that don't even know me were adding hashtag buns of anarchy into their profile so that I would have to pay $100 per person, which is fine. I'm happy to do it.

Speaker 3 And at $11.05, it was $44,500

Speaker 3 was the amount that I owe. So I owe a lot of money that I don't have, but

Speaker 1 I'm going to pay it. Well, here's the good news.
Here's the good news.

Speaker 1 We have brought in one of the greatest minds of our time, Billy Football, who has made a list for you of things you can do to pay this off. Okay.

Speaker 1 Now, I think, have you thought about just paying it and just being a man?

Speaker 3 Well, I'm going to pay a lot of it for sure.

Speaker 3 I'm going to pay way, way more out of my own pocket than I ever thought that I would.

Speaker 3 But the fact is,

Speaker 3 I'm not rich. I don't have that money.
So like I could write a check and it would bounce. Next question.

Speaker 1 Do you think that

Speaker 1 have you thought about the idea that having some low-hanging fruit that everyone can always pin you to is actually not a bad thing? Because then they won't, like, no one will be like, fuck PFT.

Speaker 1 I think he's an asshole. They'll be like, fuck PFT.
He just didn't give the money he said he was going to give to charity. You basically give them a layup.
Right.

Speaker 3 So that is, that is a shield. It's a good point and it's a shield, but I actually think that it's probably the worst shield that I could have.

Speaker 1 But it's still a shield.

Speaker 3 Like, let's just say Billy leaks another dick pic of me, hypothetically.

Speaker 1 No, you're still a charity guy.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but if that happens, then I'm still the charity guy, but the shield is, that's PFT. Fuck him.
He said that he would give $50,000 to fight racism and didn't. I don't know, dude.

Speaker 1 A shield is pretty good, though, because it just gives people a go. It's kind of, you know, what's been our greatest shield? It's Barcelona Van Talk.

Speaker 1 Everyone always goes right to it, and they're like, Get your fucking show canceled after one episode. I'm like, I don't care.
Yeah, please talk about that. It's a great thing.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so you kind of just re-upping, and they're like, Dude, you fucking cheated out of charity.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's it's a pretty bad one to be like the person who defrauded the NAACP in the middle of the Black Lives Matter.

Speaker 1 Still a shield, still a shield. So, my other idea was, and we'll get to Billy's, but I do, I know you don't want to do this, but I think having a Bobby Bonilla day where every day

Speaker 1 on June 5th, because we don't want a cock D Day, June 5th is PFT fucked up the math and owes more money than he could pay right away, Charity Day, and you just pay in like $1,000 installments for the next 45 years.

Speaker 1 I don't mind that idea. That would make it a big deal.

Speaker 3 I don't mind that idea because it does give me what I crave the most, which is recognition and attention every single year.

Speaker 3 So I don't mind that. But it's only personal holidays for your charity.
I do have a problem with making sure that I'm still remembering to write a $1,000 check when I'm, what, 75, 80 years old?

Speaker 1 What if you did it quicker than that? What if we did

Speaker 1 $5,000 a year for the next eight years?

Speaker 3 That's really fast math. Is that right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, right? No.

Speaker 3 Nine years.

Speaker 1 Five times. Nine.
Nine.

Speaker 3 Not math guys for sure. I'm on cash out of it.

Speaker 1 I'm on cash out. Oh, okay, good.

Speaker 3 Also, but Cat, when you told me that, I thought about it and I was like, that's pretty awesome.

Speaker 3 I'll only have to be paying $1,000 a year for the next, I think I thought to myself, like the next four and a half years.

Speaker 1 So I did the exact same math wrong in my own head. I don't know, though.
I like doing the idea of like having your own holiday of charity.

Speaker 3 It's not a bad idea. I had a couple ideas.
My first was just like go back to the well and sell shirts that just say racism with a clown nose on it. Just clown nose, just clowning on racism.

Speaker 1 Yeah, or you could go extra Michael Scott and like the be like PFT's Peloton charity drive to end racism that he couldn't pay, like make it a really long title and then have people buy that shirt.

Speaker 3 Or the epic racism handshake one, the Drew Brees picture.

Speaker 3 But I'll actually use the one, the actual meme, that's Carl Weathers and Arnold dapping each other up at Predator, and then I'll just sell that t-shirt and then all the proceeds will go to the NAACP.

Speaker 1 Okay, nice.

Speaker 3 We could sell sheesh wine. Yeah.
I actually got inspired from watching Sour Grapes last week because it dawned on me, the guy didn't get in trouble because he counterfeited wine.

Speaker 3 He got in trouble because he counterfeited labels. Right.
So I could just like take existing wine, slap my label on there that says sheesh, and then sell that. It's above board.

Speaker 3 Everyone's like, I understand that he did not make this wine. Repurposing.
Repurposing wine.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Hank, you saw sour grapes, right?

Speaker 6 No.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. So should we let Billy's scary mind loose you? Yeah, Billy, hit me.
Okay, okay.

Speaker 3 So actually, before you made this mistake, I saw this really cool truck I was trying to make money for, so I actually had some ideas already on it.

Speaker 1 Wait, what?

Speaker 3 Yeah, no, there's a sick truck. Anyway, he wants to buy a Humphrey.
Okay. So we could do a

Speaker 3 private Zoom show, $1,000 a pop, and you take your glasses off.

Speaker 1 So everyone can see the cam girl? Yeah, yeah. Or we just

Speaker 3 propose the OnlyFans already. Yeah.

Speaker 6 How are you going to stop people from repurposing those images?

Speaker 1 Yeah, that sounds like a terrible one.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 But that's why I went to a private Zoom show for the unveiling.

Speaker 1 Right, but you can just

Speaker 1 report.

Speaker 3 You know how a Zoom call works, so you can only let certain people in, and then you pay $1,000.

Speaker 1 And they can screenshot it. Right, but it doesn't matter because we made the money.

Speaker 3 Well, no, Billy, you're misunderstanding the whole point. Then it becomes less less expensive.
But you're exclusive to begin with. You're in debt.
Technically, yes, I am in debt.

Speaker 6 Like, if I wanted to go into that show, I'd say, I'll just wait for someone to pirate it and send the picture out.

Speaker 3 Or somebody will put a periscope of it. I mean, we just talked to Dana White on Friday.
We know we want to do it.

Speaker 3 We won't do it until we get 45,000.

Speaker 1 You don't have the cybersecurity to pull that off.

Speaker 3 Okay, we shave your head and we sell each lock.

Speaker 1 So I wait.

Speaker 3 Billy, your answer to me defrauding an anti-racism

Speaker 3 organization is to turn me into a skinhead.

Speaker 1 Okay, next idea.

Speaker 3 No, but there's a hundred thousand hairs on a head so we can actually make more money per hair for your Humvee. Okay.
The extra money we've so sign a porn deal for like for like brassers or something.

Speaker 3 You just want to watch me fuck? Well, people would pay for this.

Speaker 6 We're looking at non-bodily fluids.

Speaker 1 Yeah, do you have any good ideas?

Speaker 3 Okay, okay, okay, okay. So, okay, we're going to skip the donating organs

Speaker 1 because you get a because you really need your kidney.

Speaker 3 Yeah, how much for a kidney? You could get like a lot of, like, a million dollars for a kidney. It's way more than what you need.
A million dollars for a kidney.

Speaker 1 You're getting a hundred thousand. Who told you that?

Speaker 3 I don't know. I just know kidneys are very expensive.

Speaker 1 Where?

Speaker 3 I lost my kidney when I was seven because I didn't have any money. And they said, Oh, bet your kidney.
I was like, okay.

Speaker 3 Did you like put up posters on telephone polls being like, hey, if you've seen my kidney, put out a fucking

Speaker 1 cookies and a glass of milk? But you want my kidney will be.

Speaker 3 You can sell parts of your liver because it grows back. Remember, Hercules? Nobody wants my liver.

Speaker 3 I'm going to cut that one off.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay, here's another one.

Speaker 3 We do yard work in gold brick. So, like, we contact someone.
So, remember, Kyle Long was like, whenever you guys come over, I got some yard work to do for you. Okay, so we go to Kyle Long's house.

Speaker 3 We're like, okay, we're going to do some yard work for you. Put something in with cement.
We sleep next to the cement while it dries. We're watching it dry.
It's called gold bricking.

Speaker 3 It worked all the time over the summer for constructions. And then we just overcharge them for all those hours we're sleeping because it's technically working.
You're talking about the Sopranos.

Speaker 3 This is the Soprano.

Speaker 1 It's a no-show job.

Speaker 3 No, no, no, you sleep.

Speaker 3 Write in a couple no-show jobs for my guys.

Speaker 1 I'm actually into that one. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Wait, how many people do you know that we can do this to? Like, how many rich people do you personally do?

Speaker 1 That's your job.

Speaker 1 Well, I can't come up with all the stuff. Who do I know?

Speaker 1 I know a concrete guy. Okay.
All right.

Speaker 3 So there's a certain person who's throwing a lot of money around in stocks. We buy a bunch of very cheap stock, and then we tell him it's a really awesome stock.

Speaker 3 He buys the stock, and then we sell all the stock really quickly while it's higher.

Speaker 1 Okay. Pump and dump.
SEC violation. yeah.

Speaker 1 And then we

Speaker 3 sell memorabilia.

Speaker 3 That works. Okay, what kind of like Facebook game? I have

Speaker 3 there's a very well-running

Speaker 1 van. Yes.
That

Speaker 1 could sell Vanny Woodhouse.

Speaker 3 Did you wheel out to you say Vanny Woodhouse?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
So

Speaker 1 ESPN owns the coffee. Yeah, dude.
Oh my fucking excited. Well, it's been sitting.
Dan Bulzarian owns that. I've been sitting in

Speaker 3 my. Yeah, it's been sitting.
Don't say where it is. They're going to rob it.

Speaker 1 Bonkers is predicting. Bonker.
Then bonkers, how long it's been sitting for it?

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's been on a construction site for like ages, and we could totally sell it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, let's go. I was going to sell it without you guys.

Speaker 3 Do you want to sell Vanny?

Speaker 1 Yeah. I just don't know where the fucking deed is.

Speaker 3 I've been looking for the deed because I'm going to sell it myself. You can sell a title-less car.

Speaker 1 Okay, so then Billy, if you can sell it,

Speaker 1 I will take... We'll give you a commission.
I will? Yes.

Speaker 1 We will give you

Speaker 3 5%. How does that sound?

Speaker 1 So if I sell it. I don't don't know if you should be handling the numbers.

Speaker 1 I have no idea what that means. I own it, so I'll give you

Speaker 3 5%. You own the title, but I've paid for half of it.

Speaker 1 Okay, okay. I don't know.
I've been paying for the fucking

Speaker 1 fees.

Speaker 1 Lesser than you guys owe me money. No, no, no.
You owe me money for the parking fees. Parking fees.
All right, now we're in the message standoff of money owning. All right, I've been paying

Speaker 1 $2,000 in insurance every year.

Speaker 3 Well, it's $40 a day to park in New York City.

Speaker 1 Okay. A couple of others down in New York City is in bonkers.
Well, it's

Speaker 1 okay. All right.
So, uh, we should sell

Speaker 1 the way it runs. No, no, it does run.

Speaker 3 It does run. I ran it the other day.

Speaker 1 We don't.

Speaker 3 Well, you left me with the van.

Speaker 1 What am I supposed to do?

Speaker 1 Have you been driving it around?

Speaker 3 No, there would be pictures of it.

Speaker 1 No, it's not.

Speaker 1 Billy. Billy's been driving it.

Speaker 3 Billy's been driving it around.

Speaker 1 You motherfucker.

Speaker 1 What was I supposed to do with it? All right, okay. All right.
So we'll sell. So that's actually a good idea.
So there it is. So we have, that will at least get us somewhere close.

Speaker 1 I have another idea. All right.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Keep going.

Speaker 3 You sell your C, you do a studding. Like, you know, with dogs? The stud fee.
So you give a stud fee.

Speaker 1 For Leroy?

Speaker 3 No, for you. Oh, sell my sperm? Yes.
But, like, like, stud fee.

Speaker 3 So I give it to you.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but you sign it. Sign it away.

Speaker 1 Wait, sounds like a Vince Vaughan movie. I sign away my sperm is what you're saying.

Speaker 3 No, it's too procreate.

Speaker 1 So you do it to me. Will you be handling the sperm? So I just, what do I do?

Speaker 3 Just jack off into like a no, you actually meet the person. Like, you know how dog breeding works? You stud fee.
A stud fee for a good

Speaker 1 $400. No, it actually is, yeah.
But you didn't go to an Ivy League school.

Speaker 3 I did. And I'm below 5, 10 and a half.

Speaker 1 But you're all PFT commenter. That's true.

Speaker 3 I'm going to say no to spurs. I can't

Speaker 3 imagine a bunch of anonymous little PFTs running around. We should do an auction, like the wine auction thing.
Can I be the auction guy? Sure.

Speaker 1 All right, I actually

Speaker 1 Woodhead will help us get closer. All right.
then I have one other idea that actually is a real idea. We should have

Speaker 1 Cash App always gives away $10 if you put in Code Barcelona. This is not an ad.
I just thought of this.

Speaker 1 What I'm sure people would send you the free $10 to

Speaker 1 $30. Yeah.
Sign up and send you $10. Okay, so

Speaker 3 here's a point that I've reached with myself: I need to pay more money than is comfortable for me personally to pay because I fucked up and I need to own that to a certain extent. Correct.
Right.

Speaker 3 So I thought it was going to be somewhere around $4,000 tops, which I feel like is still a good amount of money for some jackass that does nothing but talk about sports to just contribute right off the bat.

Speaker 3 I need to pay more than anybody else. Now, I've heard from a few people.
Booger reached out to me yesterday after finding out what I did. He wants to contribute.

Speaker 3 Spencer wants to contribute.

Speaker 3 So, Matt, I could cold call these guys right now and say, what can I put you down for?

Speaker 1 That feels very intrusive, but.

Speaker 3 Well, they already told me that they'd pay.

Speaker 1 No, I know, but like to be like, hey, hit it. Well, the people who said they were going to pay, they'll pay.

Speaker 3 Spencer said that he would pay up to $10,000. So in Booger Booger said that he'd contribute $10,000 too.

Speaker 1 So then I think we...

Speaker 3 I feel like I have to pay $11,000. I have to pay.
I have to pay.

Speaker 1 Then we go Vanny Woodhead for probably about $5,000.

Speaker 6 Maybe down for $100,000.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I'll put in $1,000. We'll put Vanny Woodhead for $5,000.
And then that leaves us about $5,000 or $6. I bet you people will, if we do Cash App, people want to help out?

Speaker 3 I offer labor. I'll tell you what.
Labor. I tell you what.
So that would be 11,000, 12,000 counting big cats, 12,100 counting.

Speaker 1 Huge Hank.

Speaker 3 Counting Booger, it would be 22,000 counting sponsor.

Speaker 3 It would be 32,100. 100.
And God damn it, Hank.

Speaker 1 Hank, I'm going to add your 100.

Speaker 3 I'm going to add your 100 later, Hank, to make this easier. So that means that we have approximately 13,000 left to make up.

Speaker 1 And we have Vanny Woodhead.

Speaker 3 We have Vanny Woodhead.

Speaker 1 And we have AWLs. Tell you what.
Tell the shirts, you might say. Tell you what.

Speaker 3 I don't want the AWLs to be on the hook for my bad math.

Speaker 1 No, they're not.

Speaker 3 If they want to contribute, that's awesome. And I think that we should set something up for them to contribute to.
And if it's in your hearts to do so, I would encourage that.

Speaker 3 It's not going to us, it's going to

Speaker 3 go directly to the NAACP.

Speaker 3 I'll take care of the difference between what I've already committed and what Danny Woodhead does not make us. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 also, they should probably, knowing how all this charity stuff works, people get sensitive about this, like

Speaker 1 how it goes through. They should actually, if they want to screenshot their donation to NAACP so they can claim it on their taxes instead of sending it to you, then you send it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, there's some other stuff, too, with that particular organization where parts of it aren't tax deductible and parts are. Either way,

Speaker 1 and then if you tweet PFT a screenshot, we'll start tallying that. Yeah, how about this?

Speaker 3 Use the hashtag NAACPFT. There you go.
And then we'll use that and we'll keep track of it that way.

Speaker 1 So just directly donate to NAAT, because that's how I'm going to do it.

Speaker 1 I'm going to send $1,000 to NAACPFT.

Speaker 3 I will put that down.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 3 Should I call, just to confirm? Who do you want to call? Call Spencer real quick? Sure. I just want to confirm.

Speaker 3 Do you think we'll make more money if we chop it up,

Speaker 3 Vanny, and like sell the carburetor for so much? Ah, that sounds like a lot of work.

Speaker 1 Well, I know a chop shop. Well, Billy knows he's getting a commission.

Speaker 6 Yeah, if you want to sell memorabilia of Vanny Williams, so you're saying, Billy, that the parts of the van are more valuable than the nostalgia of someone that likes the show wanting to get this piece of shit van.

Speaker 6 Well, you're saying that people want the parts from this piece of shit van.

Speaker 3 No, but think about this. If I split it up into 200 pieces, Spencer.

Speaker 3 Yes. Hey, we're talking through all the ways that we have to raise $45,000.

Speaker 3 I'm going to contribute at least $11,000, and then we're going to sell Vanny Woodhead, and then whatever doesn't come from that donation and Vanny and whatever you wanted to kick in and whatever Booger wanted to kick in, I'm going to cover the rest of that.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 can I put you down for 10, Spencer?

Speaker 1 Yes. Whoa, okay.

Speaker 1 What's up, Spencer? Thank you, Spencer.

Speaker 1 Hey, big cat. What's going on, man?

Speaker 1 I didn't know Vanny was still alive. That's good news.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 do you think we would get more money out of chopping Vanny up and selling it for parts to people can buy a piece of it? Or do you think just selling it whole?

Speaker 6 I can't imagine it's worth much whole.

Speaker 1 So I think the memorabilia route may be the direct. Yeah, I think so, too.
And it also would give us something for Billy to do so he doesn't do anything stupid.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he's getting off on some tangents.

Speaker 1 It's time to get him refocused.

Speaker 3 Although, by doing something stupid,

Speaker 3 what we're kind of proposing here is like hand Billy a bunch of high-powered tools.

Speaker 1 No, that's okay. And tell him to disassemble the channel.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, dude. He knows the chop shop.

Speaker 3 All right. He knows the chop shop.
Spencer, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 We'll be in touch about how this whole thing is coming together. But you've taken the best.
You've taken a load off. I think this is something productive that we can all come together and donate to.

Speaker 3 How about let's just say that we'll donate it. You want to donate to the scholarship fund?

Speaker 1 Let's do that.

Speaker 3 All right, the NAACP Scholarship Fund. Done.
Is where this money is going to be. Perfect.

Speaker 1 All right. Happy to be a part of it.
All right. Thank you, Spanish.
Thanks, man. All right, boys.
All right. See ya.
See ya.

Speaker 1 Okay, so I think we got this.

Speaker 3 I just want to hit a booger too and just confirm with him.

Speaker 1 Billy, are you, I think chopping it up and then we have to sell it?

Speaker 3 Because then if you like sell a wheel for so much, sell another wheel, this is going to be more than the whole thing.

Speaker 1 But I think you got to chop it even smaller than Chicago. You have to figure out how to ship all this stuff out.

Speaker 3 So all the chop shops, so if you steal a car in New York City, you go to Yonkers to the chop shops.

Speaker 1 Bonkers, yeah. Yeah, bonkers.
We're not saying the name. Or if in Manhattan.
But you realize

Speaker 1 that we'll just mail it.

Speaker 1 You will. Yeah, I'll labor.
Yeah, you're going to get money off of this. I know.

Speaker 3 I'm going to get this truck.

Speaker 1 I'm going to get this Humvee. Okay.
All right, so there we go. We've had Billy.
I actually like this because PFD, we now have Billy focused on something.

Speaker 6 This should be a pro bono deal for Billy.

Speaker 1 I know, I know.

Speaker 6 At the end,

Speaker 6 once all the parts are mailed out, then we'll give you a lump sum of whatever you've earned.

Speaker 1 Correct.

Speaker 6 Correct. It's not going to be like you sell a part for $100 and then be like, give me $10.

Speaker 1 Right. And then, no, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 Then I'll donate.

Speaker 1 It all has to be out. It all has to be sent out.
And you also still have to find the deed because I think you have to say that.

Speaker 3 No, these guys don't need a deed.

Speaker 1 No, dude.

Speaker 1 I'm saying I do so that I don't get my license. I need the license plate at least.
Okay. So I need to go to the DMV.
You got to go to the DMV for me and make sure sure a dollar for the license plate.

Speaker 1 Well, if you go to the DMV and get it officially off of my insurance, then that's fine.

Speaker 1 You can sell the license plates for yourself.

Speaker 3 I'm just, I also need a camera on Billy when he's walking into this chop shop and he's like, hey, would you like to chop up this car for me?

Speaker 1 That's not cool. Okay.
All right. Yeah.
No cameras. All right.
Let's let's get to uh I think we got a good solution though. So if you're going to donate NWACPFT is the hashtag to the scholarship fund.

Speaker 1 We'll add up that and we'll get to this money. We'll probably raise more money.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so to be clear, I'm not counting the money from the AWLs towards the money that I owe.

Speaker 1 Correct. I'm going to face that.
Towards the total. Towards the total that we're all anything we make off of Vanny Woodhead

Speaker 1 minus Billy's commission, we will donate regardless. Like we're not going to pocket money off of Vanny Woodhead.

Speaker 3 No, no. And if you want to buy a shirt, I think we should do that epic handshake ending racism shirt, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Boom.
Yeah, because we can't count on Billy.

Speaker 1 All right, let's do our who's back of the week, and then we'll get to Blake Griffin.

Speaker 7 I'm not going back to college to be your friend. I'm going so I can get Uber One for students.
It saves you on Uber and Uber Eats.

Speaker 7 I'm there for $0 delivery fee on cheeseburgers, up to 10% off smoothies, and 6% Uber credits back on rides. Just to be clear, I'm there for savings, not whatever you think college is for.

Speaker 8 Get Uber One for students, a membership to save on Uber and Uber Eats. With deals this good, everyone wants to be a student.
Join for just $4.99 a month. Savings may vary.

Speaker 8 Eligibility and member terms apply.

Speaker 1 Who's Back of the Week? Hank, you're back.

Speaker 6 I am back. My Who's Back of the Week is Looney Tons.

Speaker 1 Thanks for wearing Tennessee orange today. I got you.
And you too, Hank.

Speaker 3 What's your name? Harley.

Speaker 1 Billy Williams. Harley David.

Speaker 3 Yeah, check your pantons, big cat. That's actually

Speaker 1 looking to be.

Speaker 3 That's closer to Virginia Tech Orange.

Speaker 1 I'm cutting the Red Bull, and we had jacked.

Speaker 3 Okay, it's going to be sick. Okay.
All right, Hank, Looney Tunes. Who's back?

Speaker 6 Looney Tunes is back, but there's one little distinction. They're not letting Elmer Fudd.
They're not showing any guns, any gun depictions, any weapons? They're just taking them out.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 6 They're coming out with a new series or season or whatever of Looney Tunes. They're just not going to apparently have weapons.

Speaker 3 What about Wiley Coyote? What's he going to do? Like, just set up humane traps for the Roadrunner, or is he going to get on some fucking rockets for the rest of the day?

Speaker 6 So we're not doing guns, but we can do cartoony violence, TNT, the Acme stuff.

Speaker 1 What about all that was grandfathered in? What about Elmer Fudd having a Lisp? Isn't that offensive?

Speaker 3 Probably. What about Pepe Le Pueblo just literally raping everyone?

Speaker 1 That's bad. He is.

Speaker 3 Pepe Le Pueb is a rapist.

Speaker 6 I don't know the answers to that. I'm sure we're going to find out in the upcoming months.
My other who's back of the week is Vegas videos. I guess there's a couple of things.

Speaker 6 Las Vegas is back in multiple ways. There was the video that was tweeted out from on this weekend of the casinos being reopened, and there just being a million people out and about.

Speaker 6 No one's wearing masks. No one's practicing social distancing.
So people are freaking out about that.

Speaker 6 And then there was, you know, today, Sunday, was the anniversary of the Capitals winning the Stanley Cup two years ago. And I was reminded, remember, the

Speaker 6 PFT allegedly having to wear those pants to the party.

Speaker 3 Why do you keep saying allegedly? I noticed you tweeted that out, too.

Speaker 1 You said allegedly.

Speaker 1 Well, so this is what happened.

Speaker 6 It was not alleged at first. First, I was just like, oh, good times, good memories.
Hilarious story that PFT had to go wear pants. I just tweeted it, it's a real shame.

Speaker 6 Like, it's a travesty that this picture never surfaced. And then, almost like a bot, this person read read like a bot.

Speaker 1 He

Speaker 6 really alerted me to something fishy that might be going on. He sent a picture, a selfie of him in PFT.
The picture conveniently cuts off right above the waist.

Speaker 6 And he said, I was there too celebrating the cup with my uncle. He needed pants to get in the club.

Speaker 6 He went to the same gift shop apparently right after, and the lady was like, nope, just sold the last pair of pants we have. They were huge, though, so they wouldn't have fit.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 That sounds like someone that was like, you know, trying to push the narrative that that you were wearing.

Speaker 3 It is a crazy coincidence that this person's uncle dealt with the same thing I did, and he couldn't buy the pants, the very pants I had just purchased.

Speaker 6 And the fact that the lady at the counter, this is like those tweets when the people are like, my two-year-old daughter just asked me, like, why is there so much racism in the world and stuff like that?

Speaker 6 The fact that the lady at the counter said, nope, just sold the last pair of pants we have. They were huge, though, so they wouldn't have fit.

Speaker 3 Yeah, this guy just walked into a hipster coffee shop, and they were all talking about how big PST's pants were.

Speaker 1 Interesting. Listen,

Speaker 1 it happened.

Speaker 3 It happened. That's a fact.

Speaker 3 In fact, Hank, you were alerted to the pants before I even made a big deal out of them from your friend who doesn't even know me, who saw me at the party and was like, PFT's pants were preposterous.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 you told the guy when you saw him, he's like, oh, I'm friends with Hank. You're like, can you do me a solid and text Hank right now saying PFT's pants are preposterous?

Speaker 3 I have to admit, this would be incredible if I had made up the pants story, if that's like the route that I chose to go.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm hoping. I mean,

Speaker 6 like the, you know, the Larry David, remember that story about like they, they solved the murder case because they went through footage of Larry David and they found out that the guy was at a Dodgers game.

Speaker 6 I'm hoping, and someone tweeted, they're like, somewhere there's a bachelor party where there's like 10 pictures of PFT in the background on these pants.

Speaker 6 I want to bring attention to this, you know, bring light to this subject and hope that somewhere.

Speaker 6 Yeah, like someone can surf as a video.

Speaker 6 If you were in the Las Vegas area,

Speaker 6 the week of June 6th, 2017,

Speaker 1 2018.

Speaker 3 There are more cameras in Vegas than anywhere else on Earth, right? And that's what Oceans 11 taught me. So there should be some hotel footage.
If you work at, where's Hakasan?

Speaker 3 That's where the party was.

Speaker 3 Whatever is at the MGM, I think it's MGM. If you work at the MGM Grand, go back to June 7th, right? Yep.
2018.

Speaker 3 And there should be pictures of me walking through the lobby of the MGM holding the pants up and breaking them because they're so preposterously big that my finger just snaps a belt loop off them.

Speaker 6 I did text my friend Matt, who's originally lairding me, said, I said it's a real shame. And he just goes,

Speaker 6 he said they made Jenkos look like high fashion.

Speaker 3 They were big pants. No one hears that.

Speaker 3 I'm just going through my own head of if there's anything that I could have potentially been pictured doing that I don't want to be put out there on the yeah fuck it go for it that'll that'll be my shield if something like that happens yep yep okay good who's back Hank glad to have you back yeah thanks glad to be back I really missed it in New York last week no way that you're happy to be back when's your next vacation uh the middle of august actually uh really i think like the second week.

Speaker 3 Right in the middle of the second week of August. Right in the middle of the NBA player.

Speaker 1 You're going somewhere in June. You're going somewhere in three weeks.

Speaker 6 Well,

Speaker 6 we have a mandated work vacation.

Speaker 1 Right. But you're going.
That's a vacation.

Speaker 6 Well, that's a work.

Speaker 1 That's not even my choice.

Speaker 6 Work forced us to take that week off. Yeah, Billy.
That doesn't really count.

Speaker 3 Billy is scabbing hard.

Speaker 3 Billy is a very eager scab whenever you look at it.

Speaker 1 Listen, if you guys are going to shame me for vacations and label me as the vacation guy, it's something I'm going to have to embrace.

Speaker 6 Okay. You're going to make me take a spite vacation.

Speaker 1 Oh, no.

Speaker 3 Don't threaten me with a good time, man.

Speaker 1 No. Oh, no.

Speaker 3 Hank's going to be gone. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Who's going to press record? Exactly.

Speaker 1 Billy. You trust Billy? Wally Bibb.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 My who's back of the week is Conor McGregor. At least Connor McGregor's retirements are back because he retired again.
Kind of out of nowhere.

Speaker 3 People have been speculating who's he going to fight next. We talked a little bit to Dana White about that, but he tweeted out yesterday that he was officially retiring.
He's done.

Speaker 3 He asked his mom what kind of house she wanted or something along those lines. So Conor McGregor has pulled his semi-annual Brett Favre.
I love it.

Speaker 3 And he has said, no one was really like asking him either. No.
He just, whenever there's a fight that he feels that he can upstage, he just always likes to

Speaker 3 say, hey, I'm retiring. Now the news cycle is on me.

Speaker 3 So we're waiting on Magic Johnson to confirm with just like a congrats to Conor McGregor. He had a great MMA career.
One of the all-time greats tweet. And then at that point, it's official.

Speaker 3 but I'm sure he's not coming back in like October

Speaker 1 or November. Whenever Khabib's next up to fight him, yeah, well, or if Khabib loses.

Speaker 1 The retirement in the fight game is also just especially funny because, you know, pro athletes can retire all the time and like think about it again, but it's a fighter retires, and then it's literally like they put in front of them, hey, here's a check for $15 million.

Speaker 1 All you have to do is fight one more time. Mike Tyson's about to fight.
Yeah, right. Like, okay.
Every single one. Joey Mayweather's still got another fight, I'm sure.

Speaker 3 Every fighter is retired until they accept their next fight.

Speaker 1 Yes, right, right. He's a good to have him back.

Speaker 3 He's not big on the Irish computer.

Speaker 1 All right, my who's back of the week is

Speaker 1 football coaches, not or college coaches in general,

Speaker 1 having no idea what goes on in their own program. So Kirk Forens having a, there's a doot to do at Iowa right now.

Speaker 1 There was accusations made that the strength and conditioning coach has said some racist things in the back. Great on the guys speaking up.

Speaker 1 Now, Kirk Frenz has done a pretty good job of like listening, it seems like, and being like, we got to get this right. Put him on administrative leave.

Speaker 1 But he did also do my favorite thing that every coach does when he's like, I don't know, like, I've never heard anything like that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Every coach that has ever coached in college, basketball or football, is the biggest control freak you've ever met. They know everything.
They know everything.

Speaker 1 Every, every, everything that goes on on campus, no matter what.

Speaker 3 Yeah, and I mean, I wouldn't be shocked if you were to tell me that anyone on any coaching staff, like a strength and conditioning coach, has crossed the line a few times.

Speaker 3 They're people that live on the line of a lot of stuff. Now, this is obviously different to even approach the line of racism with your own players when you're working them out.
That's a big problem.

Speaker 3 I don't know if Kirk Ferenc, like, how active are college football coaches in terms of people get mad when we say his name wrong, too.

Speaker 1 Ference? Yeah, I don't know. I said it.
I say it how I want to say it.

Speaker 3 Are they in.

Speaker 1 You know what, what, Iowa, you wear your shield. You don't even have to be mad about this whole doot to do.

Speaker 1 You can now be mad at us for saying the name wrong.

Speaker 3 They need to take a page out of the Riley Cooper handbook and just send him away to rehabilitation. Yeah.
Send him to a racism camp where he goes and like does a 12-step program.

Speaker 3 He comes back a week later and he's not racist anymore.

Speaker 1 I just love any coach ever trying to use this defense. And he only did it for he did it very quickly and I think he moved on.
And again, I think he's done a pretty good job of

Speaker 1 actually listening to his former players. But fuck, man, it's so funny.
Like Rick Patino, I just trusted too many people too much. No, you know everything that goes on all the time.

Speaker 1 That's why you're a coach of a Power 5 program.

Speaker 3 The strength and conditioning coach did issue a statement where he just said that he never said anything like that. So it's like, we've got a blanket denial going up against multiple.

Speaker 3 It's he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said.

Speaker 1 Got it. Always fun.

Speaker 1 All right, let's get to our interview with Blake Griffin.

Speaker 3 Before we do that, PFT, you got a quick ad. Yes, I want to talk to you guys about our good friends over at Omaha Steaks.
I just got my Omaha Steaks delivery. Have you guys gotten it yet?

Speaker 3 It is wonderful. Yes.
It's one of my favorite days of the year. And it's great for Father's Day.
Big Cat, is this your first Father's Day or is it your second? First.

Speaker 3 I thought that you were caught like you were a newborn.

Speaker 1 No, no, it was right Father's Day. When was Father's Day last year?

Speaker 3 Well, it's

Speaker 3 all of our first Father's Days now that we've adopted a Tampa Bay Devil Rays pitcher. And Omaha Steaks is an awesome Father's Day gift if you're looking for a fashion.

Speaker 1 This is my first Father's Day.

Speaker 3 Congratulations, Big Cat. If you're looking for a great gift to get dad, look no further than Omaha Steaks.
Dads are so hard to shop for. I never know what to get my dad.

Speaker 3 I always just get like whatever the last thing I bought for myself was. I'm like, okay, I like this.

Speaker 1 Yeah, or whatever,

Speaker 1 whatever biography was released, sports biography was released that year.

Speaker 3 I got him the Muhammad Ali biography twice. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The GOAT one. Yeah.

Speaker 9 The pro football football show is presented by the Chevy Silverado, Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game, Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 9 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 9 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 3 And now, Blake Griffin.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on our very good friend. He is the current Blake of the Year, which

Speaker 1 we should start there.

Speaker 1 Blake of the Year competition is coming up. I think it's going to be held in the next two or three weeks.
Are you getting nervous at all about that?

Speaker 1 No, you know,

Speaker 1 after a lot of reflection and sort of this past year and a lot of time to think,

Speaker 1 I just feel comfortable with where I am in the world of Blakes.

Speaker 1 The best play to win. That's all I have to say about that.

Speaker 3 It sounds like you're confident. Yeah.

Speaker 3 That's not really a Blake move to be confident in their blakeness yeah it's wait it's not i don't think so i think i'm pretty sure that's one of the that's one of the found founding

Speaker 1 pillars of of a blake just like being quiet

Speaker 1 and being blake yeah confident all the time even if things aren't going well yeah yeah and especially a time like this we need confidence and we need we need um you know

Speaker 3 we need leaders who are confident in in what their name is okay uh now i i've seen a few things going on social media recently from you blake i I want to address them.

Speaker 3 First of all, let's start with something positive. I read an article earlier today.
It said Blake Griffin spotted outside a Joe in the Juice with his abs visible through his t-shirt.

Speaker 3 So is that a Blake move to have such a big six-pack that it can be seen through basically a sweatshirt?

Speaker 3 Is it a Blake move?

Speaker 1 That's a good question.

Speaker 1 Again,

Speaker 1 I seem to subscribe to the thought that any move I do is a Blake move because I am a Blake. And I'm not sure that you guys can quite speak to that because you've never been a Blake.

Speaker 1 And I know that sounds a little bit defensive, but I don't know. I've worked hard over the past,

Speaker 1 you know, since my rehab began. And

Speaker 1 I'm, you know, I try to wear tight shirts and

Speaker 1 show it off a little bit.

Speaker 1 Are you still injured or no? Are you back? I'm not. I'm

Speaker 1 I guess you could say I'm like cleared, but obviously our season's over. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, your season's not over.

Speaker 1 They have that like loser practice that they're letting everyone go to. Yeah, I mean, we do that in the offseason no matter what.
You know, teams get together and have their little mini camps.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 are you not going to go to the loser practice? Are you not going to go to the.

Speaker 1 I saw that Shams because I was looking to see if the Bulls maybe snuck in and they're like, actually, the other eight teams are going to, or nine teams, whatever it is, going to have like a mini camp together, and it's going to be the saddest thing ever.

Speaker 1 I might have added the saddest thing ever part.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that is pretty sad. I don't know.

Speaker 1 We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I got a Blake of the Year competition coming up that I got to be awesome.
It's very important.

Speaker 3 True. We're thinking about changing up the rules this time in the Blake of the Year competition.

Speaker 3 We're not going to tell you how, but we got to add a new wrinkle to it because, frankly, your performance last year put you so head and shoulders above the other Blakes that I'm not sure it'd be fair to keep the rules the same.

Speaker 1 Hey, I mean, whatever you guys want to do, you know,

Speaker 1 they changed the rules in the NBA to keep people from dominating. Well,

Speaker 1 Chamberlain from dominating. So,

Speaker 1 you know, I'll adapt.

Speaker 1 All right, so next thing that we saw you in the press forward, you want to talk about the kickball game? You had a kickball game? How'd you do? I did great. We won 9-5.

Speaker 1 I hit

Speaker 1 two home runs and a grand slam.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 find that competitive outlet anywhere I can. You were quoted here.
It said, at one point, Blake kicked a grand slam and yelled, that's the most exhilarating thing I've ever done.

Speaker 1 I think it was, that's the most exhilarating thing I've done like recently. Right.
You know, like it was just, you know, the monotony of the quarantine and, you know, not seeing anybody. And

Speaker 1 we finally got some people together, played a little

Speaker 1 kickball, and, you know, tried to social distance at the same time, but, you know.

Speaker 1 It was more of a, it was an outlet, you know, to, to, for people to let out their frustrations and get a little exercise. So we're promoting, you know, a healthy activity.
Yeah. How weird is it

Speaker 1 to know that someone's there like taking pictures of you and listening? Like the paparazzi. These are all paparazzi.
It's so crazy.

Speaker 1 It's so crazy because we were just like, it was just a random field kind of tucked away. And like there was other people out there.

Speaker 1 There was like a family in like deep, deep in the outfields, like one of those ones where it didn't have a fence.

Speaker 1 So like we saw some people, but like at no point did you ever see anybody. Also, they knew they knew like who the captains were, like who picked teams.
What?

Speaker 1 So in my opinion,

Speaker 1 I have a rat. Yes.
We have a rat in a group, and I got to sniff him out. Whoa.

Speaker 3 I feel like it's Frankie. I feel like it's Frankie Delgado.
I'm reading this article right now. I think so.
He's a star on the hills.

Speaker 3 He is the one guy that has the most to gain by having paparazzi show up everywhere.

Speaker 1 Damn. Like, remember me? I'm Frankie.
I'm on TMZ. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Chandler Parsons, though, too, kind of gains a little bit.

Speaker 3 That's true. He does.

Speaker 3 I'm looking at this. No masks.
It looks like you're within six feet of each other. Would you like to apologize to Mike Florio?

Speaker 1 First of all, camera angles can be deceiving. True.

Speaker 1 I know they did see like a chest bump at one point, but we kind of did the back turn chest bump

Speaker 1 so as not to be face-to-face.

Speaker 1 We had a set of rules in place

Speaker 1 testing before and after.

Speaker 1 Not for COVID, just sort of just a testing. Yep.

Speaker 1 so you know, we took precautions and we were willing to live with the consequences. So, no, I'm not going to apologize.

Speaker 3 Yeah, listen, sports will find a way.

Speaker 1 Yeah, how weird is it, though, like when you leave and then you see it hit the internet and you're like, what the fuck is going on?

Speaker 1 Like, is it, do you ever tell the paparazzi, like, hey, guys, maybe just give me a second? Like, I'm playing kickball here. No, I had no idea they were there.
I had no clue.

Speaker 1 And then, like, I think we woke up the next morning and it was out.

Speaker 1 And we, like, sitting around in the group chat. Um,

Speaker 1 I I did pose the question, like, do we have a rat in the group? And

Speaker 1 I'm doing my own internal investigation.

Speaker 1 You know what you need to do? You need to text the group chat and be like, I'm thinking about retiring.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but

Speaker 3 text everybody but Frankie, I'm not retiring. And then send a text to Frankie being like, hey, I'm thinking about retiring.
What do you think about that, Frankie?

Speaker 3 And then just see what comes up in the press. You got to leak some bad info.
That's what the Browns did with Condoleezza Rice.

Speaker 1 You're like the anti-Kawhi. Kawhi, we couldn't get anything out of him.
You know, we didn't know until he decided you play fucking kickball, and we know that you hit a grand slam.

Speaker 1 We need to tighten this up. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Listen, that's just the world we live in. I choose to go about things differently.
And

Speaker 1 I don't know. I mean, listen, guys, that's all I have to say about the matter.
Okay, well, then let's do the last one. This is the most important one.
You were pretty upset.

Speaker 1 And I think

Speaker 1 you might have been upset at the wrong person. The headline is Blake Griffin, airballs, and bricks shot in pickup game with kids.

Speaker 1 Quarantine Rust, question mark, and you quote treated it and said, alternate headline, grown man hides in bushes to secretly record a dad and his kids at the park.

Speaker 1 I'm going to side with TMZ here. I think they got the headline correct the first time.
You bricked and you airballed and you were embarrassed.

Speaker 1 Was I embarrassed? Sure. Yes.
Sue me, I'm human. I have an ego just like everybody else.

Speaker 1 But I will never admit that it's okay to record a dad and his kids at the park playing a game of basketball, which I won, by the way.

Speaker 1 They didn't even include the final score.

Speaker 1 They didn't put the final score. They didn't put final stats.

Speaker 1 Every time I got it, besides those two times, I scored.

Speaker 1 And literally, I would even have to let him shoot multiple times and get the rebound and shoot again, just so it wasn't like a complete bloodbath at home later. How How many blocks did you have?

Speaker 1 Of course, they choose not to write that, huh? How many blocks did you have?

Speaker 1 I had upwards of 15. Yeah, they didn't include any of that.

Speaker 3 I think that's fair for you to be upset about that. Like, if you're going to show the bad stuff, show you posterizing your son.

Speaker 1 That's the side of the media that they don't want you.

Speaker 1 They don't want to show that side of me. Yeah.
The media completely twisted that story and made me look like I was playing bad.

Speaker 1 I made my son cry.

Speaker 1 I agree with you, though. A A guy hiding in the bushes.
That's fucking weird. Weird.

Speaker 3 It's really strange.

Speaker 3 I do want to give credit to whoever wrote this story. They don't tell you who writes it.

Speaker 3 I assume that it's just like a robot that gets his orders from the guy that's always drinking Starbucks coffee on the show.

Speaker 3 I don't know who writes the articles, but this is a great sentence right here. Blake airballed one shot so poorly, he had to go sheepishly collect the rebound from a dude on another court.

Speaker 3 What was that like? Going like onto the court next to you and saying, excuse me, sir, I'm Blake Griffin. I just airballed this shot.
Can I have it it back?

Speaker 1 We kind of did like a thing where, like, I kind of had to, you know, jog over there to grab it. And

Speaker 1 we kind of like made eye contact, and I did, I did give him just like a kind of

Speaker 1 like a sheepish, like, yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, it's me.

Speaker 3 It's me.

Speaker 1 Uh-huh. You're right.
It is me, Blake Griffin. You do have a rat, though.
I'm sorry that that just happened.

Speaker 3 You definitely have a rat. So we're going to, we'll help you figure out who it is if you, if you need our help with anything.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Can you guys go undercover for me? Yeah, absolutely. That's been my dream.
We'll take pictures of of the paparazzi. Oh, that would be fun.
And then we'll make our own headlines. Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 I have a real question for you. So NBA is going to be back.

Speaker 1 We already talked that the Pistons. The Pistons would have been if you were played the whole year.
We all know that because you would just dominate and just yam on people.

Speaker 1 How, for the idiot sports fans, and I count myself as one of them,

Speaker 1 how much rust is there and how long is it going to take for guys to get all the way back to like prime playing

Speaker 1 shape? Because I always just assume, like, dude, you're a professional athlete. You should be fine day one.
Yeah, I mean, I think it kind of depends, to be honest.

Speaker 1 I think, like, once, once, like, we've known this was probably going to happen for, I would say, like, or at least I've known for like maybe three weeks or so.

Speaker 1 So, like, I'm sure guys are sort of like ramping back up right now. Then, you know, everybody reports June 21st.
You have training camp for literally like almost six weeks.

Speaker 1 And, you know, he plays some regular season games. Like, I feel like once they get to the actual playoffs, like, I think guys will be fine.
The only thing I'm really worried about is like injuries.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? Like, guys are going to come back. And, you know, some guys are going to have like little nagging things.
And like, you know, it's going to kind of suck that,

Speaker 1 you know, maybe that

Speaker 1 holds a guy or holds the team back. But I mean, you also have to deal with that in the regular.

Speaker 1 you know, regular season and postseason normally in a normal year. So

Speaker 1 I think it's a really good plan. I think they put

Speaker 1 they put enough time in to allow guys to be prepared as possible. But yeah, there will be some rust, but I don't think it will be too bad.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Do you think there's going to be way more rust on offense than there will be on team defense?

Speaker 1 Good question. Thanks.
Way more rust on offense than team defense. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I would say yes.

Speaker 3 Okay, I'm asking for over-unders, obviously.

Speaker 1 What about shooting in a small gym with no fans? Do you think that affects anyone's depth perception, that kind of thing?

Speaker 1 Might actually be better depth perception because you're in that that small gym.

Speaker 3 You get the wall right behind you. Right.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 How's that affect it? Yeah. It'll be interesting because, like,

Speaker 1 you know, some guys are like game players, you know what I mean? And part of that is like the adrenaline of the crowd, like just like everything that goes into it.

Speaker 1 These are going to feel like scrimmages. Yeah.

Speaker 3 It's going to be the guys.

Speaker 1 You know what?

Speaker 3 Carmelo is probably going to be awesome because he loves playing in those gyms.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, he's a, he's a, there's got, you know, like the guys who are just like pickup guys, like they just dominate pickup, but then in the game, they don't like quite play the same way.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the Lifetime Fitness All-Stars. Right.
Those are the guys I'm going to betting on.

Speaker 1 Do you think that

Speaker 1 Rockets will have a good run? Because James Harden, like, he can't go to... There's probably like some strip clubs in Orlando once you hit a few, like, you've seen them all.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 1 some guys need that outlet, though. Some guys are better when they have, like, their advice.
Whatever it is. I'm not saying that that is his vice.
You guys said that. I'm not saying that.
Correct.

Speaker 1 Correct. But you implied it.

Speaker 1 yeah so i i don't know maybe he needs that advice maybe he needs something to you know help him play at his at his best level but i mean he's a good player no matter what but yeah i don't know i guess we'll find out what if that's truly his um

Speaker 1 his uh you know secret to success

Speaker 3 so orlando the the whole notion of the league basically taking place in one city are you kind of glad that you don't have to spend like a month and a half in orlando i mean obviously we play to like win a championship so i'd much rather be able to try for that.

Speaker 1 But, you know, since we're out, like, it makes sense not to bring teams who have no chance of getting into that eighth spot.

Speaker 1 I mean, like, Washington even is, I think Washington's

Speaker 1 five games back from the eighth seed. Yeah.
And they're playing eight regular season games. So, like, they're going to have to run the table, obviously.
And

Speaker 1 is it Brooklyn that's eight? Well, no, they have seven or eight.

Speaker 1 They have that weird rule that if you're within four games, they're going to let you play a three-game series where the nine-seed has to beat the eight seed twice and the eight seed only has to win once so that's so they guess like they kind of are back in it sort of although they still have to do well in such a small uh period of time right that's the issue and then it comes down to like scheduling like what if what if like their

Speaker 1 eight of their

Speaker 1 five of their eight games are like against like you know, the top teams and they, I don't know how they're going to work out scheduling, but you know, it just kind of like

Speaker 1 kind of it's kind of weird but again i think they did like the best job they could given the circumstance if the clippers uh win because you know they're one of one of the probably presumptive favorites here in in the stretch do you think that they will put the championship banner to the left or to the right of your clippers jersey that's in the rafters um i would i guess i would prefer it to be

Speaker 1 I guess I would prefer it to be on the right of mine. So it's like you look up, you see my jersey hanging up there, and you're like, wow.
And then you look over and you're like,

Speaker 1 wow. Right.

Speaker 1 It's almost like that came next. Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, I hear you.

Speaker 1 You laid the building blocks for the champion.

Speaker 3 You're reading it left to right in chronological order. Blake Griffin, he essentially won them a championship.
Do you think you'll get a ring?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I'll probably get one. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't want to speak out of turn, but like, you know,

Speaker 1 I'm, you know, we're all obviously still very, very close. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, we talk all the time.

Speaker 1 I'm sure I'll be getting a call.

Speaker 1 It'd be the classic thing. I don't need like the whole, yeah.
Yeah, I don't need the whole ceremony, but like, you know, like,

Speaker 1 I think it'll be, it'll be nice to go to the parade if they win.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 Do you think that whichever team does end up winning the championship should have an asterisk? Oh, boy.

Speaker 1 I mean, I think it's always going to have an asterisk just because of the year.

Speaker 1 I don't know that it takes away away the, like, it takes anything away from winning a championship, but like, just the year is just so insane. It's so messed up.

Speaker 1 Like, the lockout year was just, it was just shorter, but everything still felt the same. Like, this is just completely different.
Yeah. So I don't know.

Speaker 1 I mean, I guess there'll always be sort of an asterisk, but not in terms of like it wasn't, it didn't mean it's a championship, you know?

Speaker 3 I kind of agree with you on that.

Speaker 3 I think that every sport played this year, regardless of if the season is shortened or not, like if it's college football and they start on time, the NFL starts on time, they should should have an asterisk too, just because it's weird.

Speaker 3 This year is just

Speaker 1 no fans, yeah. And it's just like this was a weird year, it's bizarre.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you get the weird championship, though.

Speaker 1 Yes, I mean, we play for the fans, you know what I mean? So, when they're not there, I know they're watching on TV, but it's just it brings a different feel, you know.

Speaker 1 And you know, me, I'm a show pony. I like, I like a crowd, and I like

Speaker 3 that, yeah.

Speaker 1 C, yeah, Blake the show pony, yeah, Blake, Blake, Showpony, Griffith, yeah,

Speaker 3 that's actually a great one.

Speaker 1 Will you, uh, there's been also talk about the season, the next season, maybe they're shifting the dates. Would you be in favor of having an NBA season start later?

Speaker 1 Like, even if we're taking out coronavirus, but if this becomes a new norm where you guys start in late December and maybe have a little more compacted season, but at least you get that extra month and a half off, and it feels like I always just feel like it should start on Christmas Day.

Speaker 1 That's when the NBA season should start.

Speaker 1 I completely agree. It's just a matter of, like, you know, where are we going to make those games up? Like, you know,

Speaker 1 I don't see them shortening it to less than like

Speaker 1 under 70 games. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Just because there's just so much money involved, I don't know that owners are going to completely go for that.

Speaker 1 But yes, I do think that we should push our start date back just because we're we're having we're competing against college football and NFL football. It's just so big.
And then also MLB playoffs.

Speaker 1 Right. So,

Speaker 1 you know, like pushing that date back a little bit. Like, I feel like it's I feel like the casual fan of sports doesn't really care about basketball until

Speaker 1 Christmas anyway. Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, there's die-hard NBA fans who care the game one, but it definitely is, it definitely feels like it's monopolized by football in those first two months.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 100%.

Speaker 3 Blake, have you still not gotten a call about Space Jam?

Speaker 1 Still, still waiting.

Speaker 1 Fired several agents because they couldn't get an answer back. So,

Speaker 1 still, you know,

Speaker 1 my fingers crossed for reshoots or,

Speaker 1 you know, even if they need like a promo commercial or something,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 that's messed up. I always like to be associated.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's messed up that they haven't reached out to you about that. You would be a natural fit as like LeBron's goofy neighbor, like the Kramer Space Jam.

Speaker 1 How about LeBron's alpha neighbor? Yeah. Oh, oh, okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What, Blake, I don't think we've talked to you since we haven't talked to you in a while when the entire Chris Paul falling out in Houston thing happened. Were you like,

Speaker 1 duh, told you guys so?

Speaker 1 Oh, when he left Houston. Yeah.
Or when he got traded from Houston. Yeah.

Speaker 1 When he was going to Houston. No.

Speaker 1 No, anything. No, no, no, no, no.
I mean, you know, I don't think it was like.

Speaker 1 I don't think it was because of that. I think Houston felt they needed to make a change.
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 I'm not in the front office for the Rockets, so I can't speak to that per se. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Interesting. I think I've successfully asked a Chris Paul question on every single time you've come on this show.

Speaker 1 So I just want to check that box out.

Speaker 1 Seems to be.

Speaker 3 What type of home insurance would you not purchase right now?

Speaker 1 What type of home? Is this a setup to like a joke?

Speaker 3 No, it's not. I'm just asking you, like, if there's a specific company that might advertise a lot on television and Chris Paul that you would like to slander on our airwaves, That would be fun.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 I do love the, well,

Speaker 1 I don't know, man. It's a good question.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 that's a good question.

Speaker 1 Off the top of my head, I just can't think of

Speaker 1 one.

Speaker 3 This is smart because I'll have to check. You never know who's going to advertise

Speaker 1 with mine, and maybe I'll switch companies soon, but I'll have to do extensive research on what would be a good company to go with.

Speaker 3 Yeah, all right, that's smart. Don't say no to any possible future advertisers.

Speaker 6 I like farms.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, right. Exactly.

Speaker 1 I like to keep my options open and really

Speaker 1 do my due diligence and find out what each company is about. Right.
Like, think about it this way.

Speaker 1 If you had bashed Kia back in the day, that would have been a lot of less money in your pocket, you know? Right. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm not just going to start wheeling insults willy-nilly at companies because, like, you know,

Speaker 1 I'm trying to be a spokesman.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it'd be a bad teammate thing for you to do.

Speaker 1 Right. Right.
Yeah, and

Speaker 1 I don't throw teammates under the bus. Nope, no.
Never.

Speaker 1 That actually is true. Never.
Because this is sarcasm, but Blake is actually a great teammate. He's a great teammate.
Everyone needs to run.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was actually being.
I know I've been sarcastic for 99% of this. Yeah, but you are a good teammate.

Speaker 1 All right, while we're not being sarcastic. There is one guy.
There is one guy if you guys have time I wanted to talk about.

Speaker 3 Yeah, go for it. Your brother?

Speaker 1 Yeah, least favorite teammate of all time. Like,

Speaker 1 wouldn't share his toys growing up. Like,

Speaker 1 wouldn't drive me places when he got his driver's license. Like, just one of the shittiest teammates of all time.
That's the only teammate I'll throw under the bus. There we go.
That's fair.

Speaker 1 All right. So while we're being a little serious for a second, a little serious, though, we were talking earlier in the week.
There's been obviously a lot of real-world things going on.

Speaker 1 And I appreciated

Speaker 1 your take on it that basically there's a lot of good things that are happening right now.

Speaker 1 What's it been like in LA? What's it been like watching the last like week and a half, 10 days

Speaker 1 of, you know,

Speaker 1 everywhere, everywhere in America is having these protests. And it seems like it's good that these are happening, but you've obviously been watching it from the front lines in LA.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I like.

Speaker 1 I did say, like,

Speaker 1 it was very discouraging at first, like, seeing,

Speaker 1 you know, stuff like this still happen and and we're still at this place and still having to to um protest and and argue for for you know rights civil rights for all really like that's really what it comes down to but at the same time like it's been super inspiring seeing so many people like

Speaker 1 care and i was talking to coach casey uh Dwayne Casey, and he was talking about, I mean, he was like,

Speaker 1 he was the fifth black player to play at Kentucky. He was the,

Speaker 1 when he was eight years old, schools just got integrated in Kentucky, and he had to go like live through a lot, a lot of like, you know, BS. And

Speaker 1 he was like, you know,

Speaker 1 back then, there was no white people protesting with us. There were none.
So like, in that regard, obviously, we have taken steps forward.

Speaker 1 And it's also been inspiring to me to see how many people are being like, you know what? I need to like take the time. I need to like listen.
I need to learn. I need to educate myself.

Speaker 1 Like that's, that is inspiring.

Speaker 1 And man, of course, course, there's always going to be people who are, you know, going the opposite way, trying to get a rise out of people, or people who are just racist.

Speaker 1 But I think it has been really cool to see people come together and,

Speaker 1 you know, show like the good side of us. Yeah, yeah, I've definitely noticed that too.

Speaker 3 I was bummed out for the first three or four days that all of this was going on. I just didn't see a way that things were going to get better.
And I've started to see little things.

Speaker 3 Like I've started to see small improvements. And you're right, I've seen like more people educating themselves, more people joining the cause cause and helping to fight and speaking up.

Speaker 3 So that it's been a little bit heartening to see that. And this must be very different for you compared to back in, what was it, 2015 when the whole Donald Sterling thing happened.

Speaker 3 And I guess you guys wore your jerseys inside out or your warm-ups inside out. I feel like this conversation that we're having right now is more about like...

Speaker 3 us as a people, us as a country, as opposed to what are the Clippers specifically going to do about this. Have you kind kind of felt that too?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, I feel like, I mean, everybody's sort of been called to

Speaker 1 share their voice or share their stance. And like I said, so many people have.
The only thing that I don't particularly love is that like people support and people do things in their own way.

Speaker 1 You know, some people post, some people go march, some people

Speaker 1 protest certain places that they know don't hold the same values. Some people donate, some people volunteer.
We all go about it differently. But as long as like

Speaker 1 you're going that direction, I think

Speaker 1 it's an improvement and it's a positive. And I feel like sometimes we as people sort of sit back and be like, oh, this person is not like they only did this or they only did that.
Like I'm doing this.

Speaker 1 Like it's not a competition. Like at the end of the day, if you are working to improve

Speaker 1 our system, then you're helping. So like the only thing I don't love about it is.

Speaker 1 you know, when people are sort of pointing fingers and saying, oh, this person's not doing enough or this person didn't act quick enough. Like

Speaker 1 if people are going that way, I feel like we should be a little bit more lenient and respect that they are maybe taking their time to educate themselves and figure out exactly

Speaker 1 how they want to go about everything.

Speaker 1 Because, like I said, people are speaking up, and I think that's a good thing.

Speaker 3 I agree. I think the least productive thing that we can do right now is shame somebody for

Speaker 1 speaking up, make it a comment. Exactly.

Speaker 3 I think it's like the more the merrier at this point. We're all in this together.
If you want to speak out, if you want to help or do anything, that should be applauded no matter what.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 I did see, I saw your take here. You said, I think the least that Roger Goodell and Drew Brees could do is make

Speaker 3 the Saints sign Colin Kaepernick. That's a spicy take.
I like it.

Speaker 3 I was just thinking that maybe the Bucs could sign Kaepernick and then they could do hard knocks and it would be Brady, Gronk, Kaepernick, Bruce Aryans, and that would be just incredible.

Speaker 1 It's like, you know, I also just kind of threw threw that out there.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 one of the best responses is somebody responded with the Jameis Winston

Speaker 1 gig

Speaker 1 squinting at the scoreboard. Yes, yes.
I was like,

Speaker 1 I want to tweet. Oh, sorry, Jameis.
That's my bad.

Speaker 1 I just fired that off. I didn't think about your

Speaker 1 him just signing there. So hopefully we didn't take offense to that.
Yeah, that would be a hell of a.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I'm looking at his tweet right now. That's that's pretty awesome.

Speaker 3 That would be a great quarterback room, though. You had all four of of those guys holding one.

Speaker 1 Unbelievable. Yes.
All right. I got one last question for you, Blake.
We had a friend of yours, Jensen Karp, on the show a couple weeks ago. Very good interview.
Seems like a really good guy.

Speaker 1 But at the end, he kind of gave off the vibe that he was better friends with you than we are.

Speaker 1 Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wow. So.
You know what we should do? We should have like one, you know, like, remember the newlywed show where you, you,

Speaker 1 I'll, um, I'll pick like 10 questions. I'll send them to you both, and then we'll reveal who knows me better through those 10 questions.

Speaker 3 Oh, wait, wait, I'm getting a text back right now from my source at TMZ.

Speaker 3 He says that Jensen Karp is your leak, is your rat. Yeah.
So you should probably kick him out of your inner circle.

Speaker 3 We would never do that to you.

Speaker 1 I mean, obviously, I'm going to have to take this information and put it into my own internal investigation, like I've been saying.

Speaker 1 I can't really speak to that at this moment, but as soon as we feel comfortable that we have,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 come to the right conclusion, I will release a statement.

Speaker 3 Also, ignore the fact that I just said I had a contact at TMZ.

Speaker 1 We gotta fucking find this guy.

Speaker 1 Who do you think it is?

Speaker 1 Somebody at TMZ? No, I don't know anybody at TMZ.

Speaker 1 Nope, nope. We gotta find this guy.

Speaker 3 What's the reward if we find your rat? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, I think we can collaborate on a reward, but I mean,

Speaker 1 I think we can work together.

Speaker 3 You should fake your death.

Speaker 1 Oh, boy, that's

Speaker 1 I don't know if we don't know if I don't know if I can handle that much responsibility at a time like this.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't know actually how it would find the rack, but I just think you should fake your death as like a joke.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, we'll keep that in the, we'll keep that in the back pocket for maybe later on. No, but just remember, we always have that.
We always have that card that we can pull. Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 Fake the death. You got that ace in the hole.

Speaker 3 Yeah. I mean, you could probably sell a hell of a lot of like life insurance after you come back.

Speaker 1 Yeah, true. Oh, yeah.
What if I took out like a big life insurance policy, faked my own death, got the money, and then I was like, hey, you guys already gave it to me, but I'm alive. No backsees.

Speaker 1 I technically get to keep it. There's like loopholes in life insurance.
And I think that's one of them. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And you'll do commercials for them.

Speaker 1 If you say no backseas when they give you the money, I think you're legally fine.

Speaker 3 Or just cough on it. If you just cough and sneeze all over it, they're not going to ask for it back.
They're like, ooh, that's germ money.

Speaker 1 You got this. You got this.

Speaker 6 Right.

Speaker 1 All right, well, Blake,

Speaker 1 we have,

Speaker 1 I will, I will let you know when we're going to do it, but Blake of the Year will be happening,

Speaker 1 I think, late June. We'll give a, I think, what do you think is fair?

Speaker 1 A three-day window that we will tell all Blakes that they got to be ready? Because one day is too easy, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah. All right, so we'll do a three-day.
What was it last year? What was it last year? I think it was a week last year. Yeah, I think it was a week.

Speaker 3 It was like Monday through Friday.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the week was, I mean, it was terrifying. I was on pins and needles.
We have to do it.

Speaker 3 We'll do it like Tuesday, Wednesday, three days.

Speaker 1 Yeah, three days. So

Speaker 1 we'll let all Blakes know. We'll do three days of

Speaker 1 you have to be ready for Blake of the Year. And may the best Blake win.
So good luck. We won't talk to you until then.

Speaker 3 One last question for you, Blake. Is there any other Blake that you would like to nominate? We're trying to narrow the field down.

Speaker 3 Right now, we're still looking at the same Blakes as last year, but if you have any other nominations as a Blake, you are entitled to bring somebody else into the convo.

Speaker 1 I heard Blake Shelton was interested. oh yeah that's right um he's a fellow oklahoman um

Speaker 1 blake uh blake there's blake lively obviously i don't i know nothing about her but um well you can say hand she's a blake wasn't that video trey young just playing in oklahoma like there was just a million people around kind of crazy yeah that just happened right

Speaker 1 Wait, what? What was this? Trey Young was playing in a game and there was like a full crowd there in Oklahoma.

Speaker 6 Like a Summer League game.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Oklahoma's been like, like, my parents still live there.
Oklahoma's been like sort of back for a while now. Like, they've been going to restaurants for like a month.
Nice.

Speaker 1 I'm happy for Applebee. Oklahoma's a little further back.
Yeah, respect.

Speaker 3 Yeah, respect. That's good, dude.

Speaker 1 Applebee's in

Speaker 1 the three outbacks.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 that's so cool. You guys, yeah, you guys, yeah.
Well, too good for Applebee's and

Speaker 1 I love outbacks.

Speaker 1 The only time we've ever been to Oklahoma City was we went to a Chili's and our waitress offered us mushrooms, not like the kind you eat with your food portobello no the other kind within like i think it was right after we got our drinks she's like you guys you guys want to want some boomers and we're like uh

Speaker 1 yeah probably

Speaker 3 sure did you see that map blake it said it said that oklahoma's favorite restaurant was tim hortons

Speaker 1 See,

Speaker 1 I completely, I could be out, you know, I could be out of the loop. I completely disagree with that.
Completely.

Speaker 1 Like, there's so many other restaurants that I would say are more Oklahoman favorites than that. Like, that made me wonder, like, who was putting this list together?

Speaker 3 It was the Policy Institute of Statistical Studies. It was the Piss Institute.
So, are you saying that the Piss Institute got their numbers wrong?

Speaker 1 I'm not particularly saying that they got their numbers wrong.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying it made me wonder how they judged this competition or how they what type of measures they're going to to get these statistics. Okay.

Speaker 1 Because, like I said, a native Oklahoman, Oklahoman, Tim Hortons, is just like

Speaker 1 what I would associate with being Oklahoma's favorite fast food chain.

Speaker 1 What would you say? That being said, everyone at Piss,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 if you did your due diligence, then it's fine. Okay.
It's fine. And if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
I will step up and apologize to everybody at Pitts.

Speaker 3 Okay. All right.
I'll pass that along to the boys in the back.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.
Well, Blake, thank you as always.

Speaker 1 Next time we talk to you, hopefully you pick up quickly

Speaker 1 because it's Blake of the Year season.

Speaker 1 Blake of the Year. Blake of the Year 2020.
Yes. Asterix.
Thanks.

Speaker 1 Oh. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Yep. There's an Asterix on this one.
You said it. Damn.

Speaker 1 Do you even want to win this?

Speaker 1 I don't know. I mean, now I'm thinking I might, maybe I sit this year out.
Maybe I retire and come back next year. Yeah.
Asterisks. All right.
Thanks, man. Appreciate it.

Speaker 10 Lucy's the obvious choice for a true nicotine pouch connoisseurs. That's why they're official nicotine pouch partner at Barstool Sports.

Speaker 10 They go up to 12 milligrams in strength and have unique shape that feels great.

Speaker 10 We all use the breakers. They're the only pouches with a hydration capsule inside.
They're a totally new kind of pouch, only available from Lucy.

Speaker 10 You pop it in your mouth, break it with your teeth, and it's instantly hydrated, releasing that nicotine faster, and it's a burst of flavor. No other pouch has that, I promise you that.

Speaker 10 Gas station pouches get the job done, but once you've tried Lucy, you won't want anything else in your pocket.

Speaker 1 Literally, Billy is just I fucking my jeans right now. Could you do a squat in them? Get nice jeans.

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah. You can work out their

Speaker 3 workout-friendly jeans.

Speaker 1 I'm gonna do one right now.

Speaker 3 You could run up to

Speaker 3 maybe not you, but somebody could run up to a mile in those jeans.

Speaker 1 Yeah, easily. Easily, dude.
They're sick. Can you hook me up? Yeah.
Okay. Okay.
By the way, I... Sell that fucking car.

Speaker 3 I'm addicted to calling things Virgils now, like using that

Speaker 3 as a unit of money.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Virgil Ablo, 50 bucks.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 A thousand Virgils to charity.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Hank, let's do it. We got Mount Flushmore of vacation things.
So things that suck on vacation, because Hank is just off of vacation. We know he didn't have that great of a time.

Speaker 3 Well, the reason why we want to do this for you. You guys are vacation shamers.
You just went on.

Speaker 6 Smear campaign against vacation.

Speaker 3 We wanted to give you an opportunity to dominate a Mount Flushmore for a change because you just got done with your vacation. So it's fresh.
It's

Speaker 1 flushmore. Okay.

Speaker 3 You go first.

Speaker 1 You go first. Okay.
So it's the worst parts about vacation. And you, I mean, again, I'm sorry that you have to go on all these vacations.

Speaker 6 I am too. Like, I, you know.
Knowing how bad they are.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You really shut off, too, this time.
Oh, yeah. We weren't expecting that.
Really? Yeah, you, like, didn't even respond to text.

Speaker 1 Hank is gone. Yeah,

Speaker 1 that was out of spite.

Speaker 3 Hank, how long did it take you to get caught up on the saga that like the $50,000 problem was?

Speaker 6 Oh, I was having a great time. I was, you know, a little drunk, just laughing, laughing, laughing.
Every message I was coming in, I was just slapping my knee.

Speaker 3 We figured that you would not have any idea what we were talking about. Okay.

Speaker 6 No, that was just, you know, that was a spite. I was hoping you guys would respect my privacy.
You know, I asked in advance, like, hey, can I take a couple days off?

Speaker 6 And you guys are like, yeah, go for it. And then, you know, I'm away.
I'm waking up, and it's like, just tweet, tweet, tweet.

Speaker 1 Like, they're chirping you, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 6 And I was like, you know what? Okay.

Speaker 6 I'm not engaging.

Speaker 6 When someone else, like, when you're on a vacation where it's like a lot of cooking, a lot of in-the-house stuff, and someone else or like another couple cooks, and then you eat the meal, and it's a really good meal, and you know that you, it's your responsibility to clean up afterwards.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 If it's like a fancy meal that involves several pots, pans, that sort of thing.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 And you do nothing beforehand, and then you eat it. You're probably a little drunk, and you're like, oh, I'm full.
Like, I just want to do nothing. And you're like, oh.

Speaker 3 Yeah, hot take. I think the people that cook those dinners, like, they love cooking those dinners.
So it's not even a chore to them.

Speaker 1 Yeah. On vacation?

Speaker 3 They think cooking great the the like give and take that they put out to you is we made this dinner so it's in the social contract that you'll clean it up when in reality they fucking love making it that was like a little mini vacation on their vacation forum yes okay pft your pick uh my first pick is going to be um sunburns

Speaker 3 sunburns on a vacation it can ruin like two and a half days of your trip right there if on day one you get cooked now a sunburn on the last day is kind of alpha you go back to the office everyone's like damn everyone's like you got you got a lot of color yeah um that's a good one nothing worse than a sunburn um all right my first one i'll go with uh

Speaker 1 just just packing and overpacking i've never not overpacked for a vacation you use like pack 15 t-shirts you use three of them and it's just the worst because you're just lugging around everything also just the the anticipation the night before when you're like i'm excited to go on vacation but i have to pack yep that sucks uh and then missing missing your dog.

Speaker 1 That sucks. Yeah.
Part of vacation. You only have one.

Speaker 3 You only had one.

Speaker 1 What are you talking about? Billy's going. No, Billy's going honorable mention.
Oh, okay. I didn't really want Billy.
We have a lot of Billy's going to be a little bit more than a moment.

Speaker 3 That's a good spin zone on Big Cat's Park for forgetting that Billy was going to be the fourth Mount Russian.

Speaker 1 No, I said he was doing honorable mention. Okay.
He just didn't listen. Did you? Yeah, no, no, I'm not.
You're waiting till the end. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. You're honorable mention.

Speaker 1 I told him.

Speaker 3 Counterpoint to the dog one is the dog upon return is so good.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but it's almost gonna be like, oh, I wish I'd, I wonder what my dog's doing right now.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I want to share this moment.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 Or you see other dogs. Yeah.
When you see another dog on vacation, you're like,

Speaker 3 you feel like you're cheating.

Speaker 1 You like go on vacation. There's a big lawn.
Yeah. And you're like, fuck.

Speaker 1 My dog would love this. Yeah.

Speaker 3 My second pick. Wait, Billy.

Speaker 3 My second pick is going to be the trip back from a vacation, whether that's driving back from the beach, getting on a plane, and doing the whole like drive to the airport, get on the jet, fly back, cab ride home after the vacation it's so anticlimactic you just wish that you were still on that trip yes yes okay

Speaker 6 uh waking up on the that's a good one waking up on the third day after like binge drinking for two days and it really just all sets in so bad yeah but you also see like you're laughing but it's like this no i know

Speaker 1 where you also like can get drunk again Yeah, right. But then

Speaker 6 there's that one day where you're like, oh man, like this is like it hurts.

Speaker 1 The headache hurts.

Speaker 3 Yeah. So the first couple days.

Speaker 6 You have to sleep the whole day just to be able to make it to the next back up, yeah.

Speaker 3 The first couple days you can kind of play it off and you're like, let's keep this train rolling. But usually day three, you're fuzzy, your brain's not quick, and it hurts too.

Speaker 3 Which day was that for you this last week?

Speaker 6 I think Thursday I used to just sleep all day.

Speaker 1 I slept all day.

Speaker 3 I have my friend Wes that does a Hard Factor podcast.

Speaker 3 Wes, his whole family rents a beach house every summer. And when he was a day, you shit him too? No, it's one week a summer, which I feel like is a perfectly reasonable amount of vacation.
Agreed.

Speaker 1 You're going to be three weeks this summer. No,

Speaker 6 one of them is not my choice.

Speaker 6 There was nothing I want to do more than come into this office the week of July 4th. Perfect.

Speaker 1 We can't. We can.

Speaker 3 You're almost like half a Virgil in days of vacation.

Speaker 1 But yeah, we can't. And you don't shame vacations.

Speaker 3 Well, Wes used to call this the beach flu, is what I'm saying, which is a great trick to play on kids. It's like, oh, you get sick when you go to the beach.
Beach flu.

Speaker 1 All right, Hank, your third pick.

Speaker 6 When you are coming back from the beach and you kind of have like a shafted ass from going in the ocean, you have to ride a bike back.

Speaker 1 Ah. Because you don't, you know, there's no cars.
Brutal.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the beach cruiser rash is a big one.

Speaker 1 Yep. That's true.

Speaker 3 They call it the beach cruiser blues. Yep.

Speaker 1 Uh-huh. All right.
PFT, your next pick.

Speaker 1 I like that one.

Speaker 3 Food poisoning.

Speaker 1 That happens every time you go on vacation?

Speaker 3 Sometimes if you're in a different country. Okay.
That's what I'm saying. Like you go to sometimes if you go to Mexico, you're not used to the food and water that they used to cook it with there.

Speaker 3 A lot of times when people travel to Asia or vice versa, they they come to the United States from Asia. The cuisine is different.
The water is different. Everything's different.

Speaker 3 So you just end up hanging out on the toilet for a couple days.

Speaker 1 That sucks regardless. Vacation or not, food poisoning is the worst.
Although you lose a few pounds, which is nice.

Speaker 1 Get a kickstart. Okay, Hank, similar to your beach rash,

Speaker 1 that sand in your shoes, like just being suck, you can't get all the sand out, and it's got that kind of annoying feel to it.

Speaker 1 There's nothing worse than that, just having like a little too much sand in your shoes, maybe on your legs, gets a little itchy.

Speaker 1 that salt water gets a little pro tip as a pro vacationer yeah you should only be wearing flip-flops or like crocs okay for the entirety of your yeah but what crocs you know you what about what if you have you know shoes you need to go to like the the bar or something you get a little flip-flops okay um all right and then my last one is you want to truly vacation when you go when you go on a vacation to a and you're at a hotel and there's hours on the jacuzzi that sucks when it's like jacuzzi can't go in the jacuzzi past 9 p.m it's like that's that's exactly when i want to go in the jacuzzi when i'm drunk and they they know yeah they know that yeah they know that and it just sucks your whole day like I want to be able to go in the jacuzzi when I want to go in the jacuzzi and that's anytime there's absolutely no difference between hanging out in a hot tub at 5 p.m.

Speaker 3 and then just chilling in a nice spa at 11. There's no difference to your health.
So that's the worst.

Speaker 1 I agree with that.

Speaker 1 When you actually plan your jacuzzi trips, not spur the moment.

Speaker 3 My last one is going to be along the same lines of you're staying in a hotel and you miss the continental breakfast because it ends at like 8 a.m.

Speaker 3 Like the two early continental breakfasts, you go down, all that's left is like two hard-boiled eggs, a watered down cup of apple juice, and like a lukewarm cup of shitty coffee. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And maybe like one fruit that it looks spoiled.

Speaker 1 The last fruit. Or when you go,

Speaker 1 when you're out somewhere else, a nice hotel, and you order a full... You fucking knew you're going to...

Speaker 1 What? No, yeah, keep going.

Speaker 1 When you order a full breakfast, and then when you finish your full breakfast, you then go to the buffet and just grab a croissant off the top, and then you get charged for another full breakfast.

Speaker 3 Like a $19 breakfast.

Speaker 1 I think that the buffet is free. Vacationing done right.

Speaker 1 Again, not saying anyone's ever done that, Hank, but that was an all-time move that he did. It is.

Speaker 1 What kind of weirdos? Double breakfast delight.

Speaker 3 What kind of weirdos wake up on time for the Continental breakfast at like 7 o'clock in the morning and they're like, yeah, I got to be the first person down there to grab like a

Speaker 3 playing card size box of rice krispies.

Speaker 6 Old bags.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, Hank, your last one.

Speaker 6 My last one is when you roll up to the ice cream store, and as you're pulling up, the line is like around the corner.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's such a good one.

Speaker 1 I mean, you obviously dominated this because you are a vacation guy, but that is such a good one. There's nothing worse than the ice cream.

Speaker 3 It's hot outside.

Speaker 1 Everyone's craving.

Speaker 6 You know, you made the decision, like, let's get some ice cream. You're like, fuck yeah, ice cream.

Speaker 6 And then, like, you know, you probably, if you're far away and you see the line forming, you're like, oh, no, please.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, that can't be it, right? There's got to be like a gas leak in the apartment building next door. That's not the line for Mr.
Whippy. Right.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 What about when you go to a hilarious restaurant that's got a funny name and you want to buy one of their t-shirts that's like kind of dirty, kind of sexual, and you get one of them and then your buddy gets a funnier one than you.

Speaker 1 Ah, that does funny. That one sucks.
That does suck.

Speaker 1 What about when you stay in a hotel and the outlets next to the bed are not right? Like if they're maybe missing an outlet or it's behind

Speaker 1 the bed? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That could fuck up a whole vacation. You can't charge your phone correctly.

Speaker 6 When you're staying at a hotel and they forget to make you a pillow uh a towel animal

Speaker 1 come back from the beach to just regular folded towels.

Speaker 3 Unbelievable. They're getting a Yelp review from me.
Yep. What about in the hotel where actually shout out to like the electronics companies that sold all the iPhone 4 accessories to hotels

Speaker 3 all in like one year.

Speaker 3 Like every single alarm clock in every hotel across America went from Groundhog's Day style 1980s alarm clock to like 2009 alarm clock overnight.

Speaker 3 And then Apple switched up the plug-on. Yep.

Speaker 1 How about when you're like the hotel bar or like maybe the tiki bar down by the beach doesn't have your favorite beer? And you're like, oh, we only have two kinds of beer. And you're like, fuck.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I guess I'll drink Takate the whole

Speaker 1 vacation.

Speaker 3 All-inclusive resorts.

Speaker 3 Usually the food's not that great.

Speaker 1 Usually it's all usually

Speaker 3 singular beer.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 So likewise with that, if you're at an all-inclusive resort and you don't have any cash to tip, like the first night that you're there, then you become the asshole that everyone hates, and then you're getting extra water in your tequila.

Speaker 1 Your bag being too full on the way back when you can't really repack because you like probably gained that cool shirt or some kind of hat that you drank in all day, and you're like, I'll wear this hat forever.

Speaker 3 And double threat if you've got a sunburn on your shoulder and you're trying to put that big bag over it.

Speaker 1 Oh, man.

Speaker 6 When it's cloudy all week and you can't get any like dope pics for the Graham.

Speaker 1 Wait, was it cloudy? No, it was actually, there's some good sunsets. Did you get any dope picks?

Speaker 6 I have, you know, a lot of experiences to take pictures.

Speaker 1 It's been some cloudy days.

Speaker 1 All right, I think that's it. Do we have anything else that we're oh, I fuck.

Speaker 3 This should have been one of my top two. When it rains.
Yeah. Just when it rains.

Speaker 1 When it rains.

Speaker 1 Okay. Well, we'll see everyone Wednesday.

Speaker 1 We have... Were you going to say something, Billy? I can't get away.
Oh, Your Honorable Mentions. Oh, shit.
We forgot to say that. Wait, how much time are we? Just one second.

Speaker 3 What's it?

Speaker 3 Changing state laws.

Speaker 3 Like the changing state laws. Love you guys.
Like getting arrested in Virginia with a radar scanner. Okay, so like there's different laws in different states.

Speaker 3 So like in Massachusetts, you can't buy beer and gas stations and they shut down.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but then in Rhode Island, you can buy, you can't buy beer and then in New York, you can buy beer and gas stations, but they shut down everything really early.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 3 like in Virginia, it's illegal to have a radar scanner.

Speaker 3 So if you're driving through Virginia and you're totally legal with your radar scanner through all the other states, if you're driving through Virginia and you get pulled over, they know you have to have it, even if you hide it.

Speaker 3 So then they search your whole car.

Speaker 1 So they're not allowed to search detector.

Speaker 3 No, because they say they have their radar detector detector.

Speaker 1 No, you're right, Tommy. They can't take that.

Speaker 3 No, because they're... Sir, am I being detained?

Speaker 1 No, they're.

Speaker 1 They cannot search and see without a warrant.

Speaker 1 No, they can't.

Speaker 3 But they have the beeper that says you got a beefer in there. It's like them seeing drugs in your car.
They can with a radar detector.

Speaker 1 They have a radar detector detector. No, you're right.

Speaker 3 I just let them search my car. I have nothing to hide.

Speaker 1 Besides a radar detector.

Speaker 3 Billy, why don't you get a radar detector detector? A radar detector detector detector.

Speaker 1 A radar detector?

Speaker 3 Yes. But that's also kind of a radar detector.

Speaker 3 Good point. Is that wait? Was that your only on home entry?

Speaker 1 Oh, and then

Speaker 1 that's state law. Yeah, I don't like state law.

Speaker 3 It literally is the Billy adverse 10th amendment. Yeah, and then you get to like you get to other laws, and suddenly your dog's illegal because of the Dangerous Dog Act or something.

Speaker 3 And then, so I just like to stay home and I'll come to work anytime. This is way better than a cubicle by any means.
