Felt like 98. Woo! Good job.
Now, 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. Are you going to put your statement in right now? I'm going to win this game.
Right in blood. And we're going to put in, 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.
How about you tell us how it feels to be a champion first? Okay. Well, no.
First things first, you going to return to tennessee next year uh i am the head coach of the tennessee volunteers and the coaching carousel is going to be tonight monday night i as of right now i'm the head coach of tennessee volunteers oh we got it 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 sorry pft but it Fuck. So that's going to have to wait for the next Saturday.
I'm sure there are plenty of pictures of Big Cat eating that you can Photoshop them into. 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. It feels great to finally win the big one.
That's it. I mean, it was a fucking great from the start Listen Virginia Tech sucks I'm really putting myself in a bad spot I'm rooting for you against Virginia Tech I hate the Hokies I've got a long personal grudge against the Virginia Tech Hokies Fuck them Alright 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 You won Right Guess what Hokies You can't bring your keys with you to Pasadena and jingle them around on third down.
You probably can. It would actually be unsafe if they didn't bring their keys.
How the hell would they get home? Do you bring your keys with you when you drive? They're not driving across the country, are they? No, but I mean your house keys. You think you bring your keys with you out to a game when you're on vacation? House keys? As the vacation expert amongst us.
What are we talking about right now? Your house keys. But do you take your house keys with you to a game that you're going to if you're in another state? You say vacation expert like it's a bad thing.
I will gladly retain that title. And yes, duh.
Yeah. Where do you just dig a hole and bury your keys and then head out for a week? No, I typically like- You're saying from the hotel? No, I keep my house keys in like a suitcase or in a backpack when I'm on vacation.
I'm just vacation used to carrying my keys around 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 i don't know if you just have your keys on the bottom line is virginia tech sucks and their traditions are stupid and i won and you and i won congratulations here it is here is uh the post-game press conference right after it happened right now.
Fucking A, man.
I'm pressing.
This game's over.
I can't believe this.
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.
I don't know with who, but week one is tomorrow night.
It's a minor setback for a major comeback, okay? Okay, I won. Congratulations.
Hopefully I fucking won. God damn it.
If I lose, that's going to be so bad. All right, let's get to the next issue.
PFT is a dummy. I fucked up.
You're a fucking shit for brains. Listen, my brains are very bad.
I've never pretended to be good at math. 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 as well.
I've never pretended to be good at math or mental math or anything like that. I took Algebra 2 three times.
I think I got a D plus in it my third time. It's not how my brain works.
We, as a podcast, we've said it, and this is counting Hank, Liam, myself, PFT. The four of us, I guess Billy too, although Billy's sneaky.
Be like, oh, I took all those math. Billy is good at trigonometry and shit.
We have never, 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.
I took one class and I walked out and never went back. Yeah, so we've never been.
Yeah, we're not a math podcast. Billy, don't ruin it.
Stats are for losers. I got a four on AP Cal.
I know, you are that guy. Shut up, you loser.
Billy knows how to enter equations into a calculator. Good job, Billy.
All right, so what happened? So what happened was Peloton was putting together a ride. 89 is not an A.
After we interviewed... A four? TI-89.
Oh. Oh.
Texas Instruments. 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.
on Saturday, we will pay $100 to the NAACP for every person that's there. I post it 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.
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 two and 400 people there on a live ride. That's easy to find.
This is harder to to find you have to go back to the archives and find it and track it down so yeah you know what i think that we'll probably max out two to four hundred people there whatever no big deal i'll match the hundred dollars per rider of anyone that's wearing the buns of anarchy hashtag on the leaderboard now in my head i thought that meant i was going to owe anywhere between two and four thousand dollars which is i feel like a good amount of money right two yeah times 10 now do you think that the extra 90 to bridge from 10 to 100 was that your white guilt yes probably okay i don't care what what it was that got me there probably a lot a lot of white guilt yeah uh but i'm just kidding there that's i followed up people are gonna be like thanks for finally speaking up again 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 and i was like yeah 100 is from axios uh 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 twenty five hundred dollars and then somebody replied i think that math would be twenty five thousand dollars right and i said oh shit fuck fuck shit okay okay i said what i said i can't i can't take it back at that point yeah good call i let's get it listen when you texted it to us on fr us on Friday night, I might have just had an edible, but it did actually take me like 20 minutes to fully comprehend your mistake. So I don't think it was that.
Don't beat yourself up. I would easily make that same mistake where I was like, I had this moment where I was like, PFT is freaking out for no reason.
Dude, 250 people? That's literally two grand. i'd rather be off by a factor of 10 than be off by like a factor of three that just shows i i don't know what i'm doing when it comes to at least i i just forgot to move the decimal point one place that's all i so you you are you are michael scott it is scott's top it is my scott's moment you have i was guaranteed how much what's the total i was watching i was watching the leaderboard on saturday I was like, fuck, I hope that nobody finds this class, 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, and the numbers just kept going up. I think 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. And at 1105, it was $44,500.
Okay. So I owe a lot of money that I don't have.
But here's the good news. I'm going to pay it.
Well, here's the good news. Here's the good news.
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.
Now, I think, have you thought about just paying it and just being a man? Well, I'm going to pay a lot of it, for sure. Okay.
I'm going to pay way, way more out of my own pocket than I ever thought that I would. Next question.
But the fact is, I'm not rich.'t have that money so like i could write a check and it would bounce next question do you think that um have you thought about the idea that having some low-hanging fruit that everyone can always like pin you to is actually not a bad thing because then they won't like no one will be like fuck pft 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 lamp right 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 well but it's still a shield like let's just say billy leaks another dick pic of me hypothetically no you're still the charity guy yeah charity guy. 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. The 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 Barstool Vantalk. 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 it's a great thing yeah so you kind of just re-upping and they're like dude you fucking cheated out of charity yeah that's it's a pretty bad one to be like the person who defrauded the n double acp in the middle of the black lives matter still a shield still a shield so my other idea was 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 on June 5th, because we don't want a cuck 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.
I don't mind that idea. And that i make it a big deal i don't mind that idea because it does give me what i crave the most which is recognition and attention every single year right so i don't mind that yeah it's a personal holiday for your charity i do have a problem with like making sure that i'm still remembering to write a thousand dollar check when i'm what 80 years old? What if you did it quicker than that? What if we did $5,000 a year for the next eight years? That's really fast math.
Is that right? Yeah, right? No. Nine years.
Five times? Nine. We're not math guys.
I'm not math guys for sure. I'm on cash app.
Oh, okay, good. Also, Big Cat, when you told me that, I thought about it and I was i was like that's pretty awesome i'll only have to be paying a thousand dollars a year for the next i think i thought to myself like the next uh four and a half years so i did the exact same in my in my own head i don't know though i like doing the the idea of like having your own holiday of charity it's not a bad idea i i had a couple ideas my first was um 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 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 or the epic epic racism handshake one the drew breeze picture but i'll actually use the one the actual meme that's carl weathers and arnold yep 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 okay nice uh we could sell sheesh wine yeah i've 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.
He got in trouble because he counterfeited labels. Right.
So I could just take existing wine, slap my label on there that says sheesh, and then sell that. It's above board.
Everyone's like, I understand that he did not make this wine. Repurposing wine.
Repurposing wine. Yeah.
Hank, you saw Sour Grapes, right? No. Okay.
all right so should we let billy's scary mind loose yeah billy hit me okay okay 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 wait what yeah no there's a sick truck anyway he wants to buy a home fee okay um so there so we could do a private uh private zoom show thousand a pop, and you take your glasses off so everyone can see.
He's a cam girl?
Yeah.
I proposed the OnlyFans already.
Yeah.
How are you going to stop people from repurposing those images?
Yeah, that sounds like a terrible idea.
Well, that's why I went to a private Zoom show for the unveiling.
Right, but you can just report it. How do you stop people from repurposing those images?
So you know how a Zoom call works? So you can only let certain people in in and then you pay $1,000. And they can screenshot it.
But it doesn't matter because we made the money. Well, no, Bill, you're misunderstanding the whole point.
Then it becomes less exclusive to begin with. You're in debt.
Technically, yes, I am in debt. If I wanted to go into that show, I'd say I'll just wait for someone to pirate it and send the picture.
Or somebody will put a periscope of it. I mean, we just talked to Dana White on Friday.
We won't do it until we get 44.
You don't have the cybersecurity to pull that off.
Okay, we shave your head
and we sell each lock for a dollar.
Billy, your answer to me defrauding
and anti-racism organization
is it turned me into a skinhead.
Okay, next idea.
No, but it's not 100,000 hairs on a head so we can actually make more money. Okay.
Per hair. For your Humvee.
Okay. The extra money.
So sign a porn deal for like browsers or something. Do you just want to watch me fuck? Well, people will pay for this.
Do you have any non-bodily fluid ideas? Yeah, do you have any good ideas? Okay, okay, okay. So, okay, we're going to skip the donating organs.
Because you need your kidney. Yeah, how much for a kidney? You can get like a million dollars for a kidney.
It's way more than what you need. A million dollars for a kidney? You get like $100,000.
Who told you that? I don't know. I just know kidneys are very expensive.
Where? 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. Did you like put up posters on telephone poles of being like, hey, if you've seen my kidney, put out a fucking, uh, some, some cookies and a glass of milk.
But your liver, you can sell parts of your liver cause it grows back. Remember Hercules? Nobody wants my liver.
Okay. I'm going to cut that one off.
Okay. Um, okay.
Here's another one. We do yard work in gold brick.
So we contact someone.
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.
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.
It worked all the time over the summer for constructions.
And then we just overcharged them for all those hours.
We're sleeping because it's technically working. You're talking about the Sopranos.
Theshow job no no you right in yeah right in a couple no-show jobs for my guys i'm actually into that one yeah um wait how many people do you know that we can do this to like how many rich people do you personally that's your job well i can't come up with all the answers i know i know a concrete guy okay all right next um we so there's a certain person who's throwing a lot of money around in stocks we buy a bunch of a very cheap stock and then we tell him it's a really awesome stock he buys the stock and then we sell all the stock really quickly while it's higher okay pump. Pump and dump.
SEC violation, yeah. And then we sell memorabilia.
That works. Okay, what kind of, like fake gaming? I have, so, there's a very well-running van.
Yes. That.
Oh, we could sell Vanny Woodhead. Are we allowed to say Vanny Woodhead? Yes.
Okay, so. No.
No. ESPN owns the copyright.
Yeah, dude. Well, it's been sitting...
Dan Bolzerian owns that. I've been sitting in...
Yeah, Yonkers. Don't say where it is.
They're gonna rob it. Bonkers is pretty big.
It's been bonkers how long it's been sitting somewhere. Yeah, it's been on a construction site for like ages and we could totally sell it.
Yeah, let's sell it. I was gonna sell it without you guys.
Do you wanna sell to sell Vanny? I just don't know where the fucking deed is. I've been looking for the deed because I'm trying to sell it myself.
You can sell a titleless car. Okay, so then Billy, if you can sell it we'll give you a commission.
I will? We will give you 5%. How does that sound? I don't know if you should be handling the numbers.
I have no idea what that means. I own it, so I'll give you 5%.
You own the title, but I paid for half of it. I don't know.
I've been paying for the fucking... I've been paying for the insurance.
So then you guys owe me money. You owe me money for the parking fees.
Parking... Now we're in a Mexican standoff of money owning.
I've been paying $2,000 in insurance every year. Well, it's $40 a day to park in New York City.
It's not in New York City. It's bonkers.
Okay. We should sell it anyway.
There's also no way it runs. No, it does run.
It does run. I ran it the other day.
We're not making... Well, you left me with the van.
What am I supposed to do? Have you been driving it around? No, there will be pictures of it. I don't know.
Billy. Billy's been driving it around.
You motherfucker. What was I supposed to do with it? Alright, so we'll sell it.
That's actually a good idea. So there it is.
That will at least get us somewhere closer. I have another idea.
All right. Yeah.
Keep going. You sell your, see, you do a studding.
Like, you know, with dogs, the stud fee. So you give a stud fee.
For Leroy? No, no, for yourself. Oh, sell my sperm? But like, like stud fee.
So I just, but then he's got kids. Yeah, but you sign it.
Sign it away. Wait, so it's like a Vince Vaughn movie.
I sign away my sperm is what you're saying.
No, it's to procreate.
So like you do it yourself.
Will you be handling the sperm?
No, no, no.
What do I do?
Just jack off into like a cup?
No, you actually meet the person.
Like, you know how dog breeding works?
We use stud feed.
A stud feed for a good people is like $400.
No, it actually is, yeah.
But you didn't go to an Ivy League school.
I didn't. And I'm below five, ten and a half.
But you're a PFT commenter. That's true.
I'm going to say no to... I can't 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.
All right, I actually think the Vandy Woodhead will help us get closer. All right.
And then I have one other idea that actually is a real idea. We should have Cash App always gives away $10 if you put in Code Bar.
So this is not an ad. I just thought of this.
I'm sure people would send you the free $10 to charity. Yeah.
Sign up and send you $10. Okay.
So here's a point that I've reached with myself is 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. Right.
So I thought it was going to be somewhere around, you know, $4,000 tops, which I feel like is still a good amount of money for like some jackass that does nothing but talk about sports to just like contribute right off the bat. Um, I need to pay, I need to pay more than i've i've heard from a few people booger reached out to me yesterday after finding out what i did he wants to contribute uh spencer wants to contribute so matt i could cold call these guys right now and say what can i put you down for that feels very intrusive but well they already told me that they'd pay no i know but like to be like hey hit well the people who said they're gonna pay they'll pay spencer said that he would pay up to ten thousand dollars so in booger booger said that he'd contribute 10 grand too so then i think we i feel like i have to pay 11 000 i have to pay i have to leave away then we go vanny woodhead for probably about five put me down for a hundred yeah i in 1,000.
Put Vanny Woodhead for five. And then that leaves us about five or six.
I bet you people will, if we do Cash App, people want to help out. I offer labor.
I tell you what. Labor.
I tell you what. So that would be 11,000, 12,000 counting big cats.
12,100 counting Hank. Huge, Hank.
Counting Booger, it would be 22,000. Counting Spencer, it would be 32,100.
God damn it, Hank. Hank, I'm going to add your 100.
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.
And we have Vanny Woodhead. And we have Vanny Woodhead.
And we have AWLs. I tell you what.
And the shirts you might sell. I tell you what.
I don't want the AWLs to be on the hook for my bad math. No, they're not.
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. It's not going to us.
It's going to the NAACP. It's going directly to the NAACP.
I'll take care of the difference between what I've already committed and what Danny Woodhead does not make us. Yeah.
So, also, they should probably, knowing how all this charity stuff works, people get sensitive about this, like 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.
Yeah, there's some other stuff, too, with that particular organization where parts of it aren't tax deductible and parts are. Either way, send then if you tweet pft a screenshot we'll tap we'll start tallying that uh yeah how about this use the hashtag in double a c pft there you go and then we'll use that and we'll keep track of it that way so just directly donate to to nba because that's how i'm gonna do it i'm gonna put it i'm gonna send a thousand dollars to nba cp okay i will um put that down right.
Should I call just to confirm? Who do you want to call? Call Spencer real quick. Sure.
I just want to confirm. Do you think we'll make more money if we chop it up, Vanny, and sell the carburetor for so much? That sounds like a lot of work.
Well, I know a chop shop. Well, Billy knows he's getting it commissioned.
Yeah, if you want to sell memorabilia of Van E. 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.
You're saying that people want the parts from this piece of shit van more. No, but think about this.
If I split it up into 200 pieces. Spencer.
Yes. Hey, we're talking through all the ways that we have to raise $45,000.
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.
So can I put you down for $10,000, Spencer? Yes. Whoa.
Okay. Put me down.
What's up, Spencer? Thank you, Spencer. Hey, Big Cat.
What's going on, man? You're welcome. I didn't know Vanny was still alive.
That's good news. Yeah.
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? I can't imagine it's worth much whole. So I think the memorabilia route may be the direction.
Yeah, I think so, too. And it also would give us something for Billy to do so he doesn't do anything stupid.
Yeah, he's getting off on some tangents. It's time to get him refocused.
Although, by doing something stupid, what we're kind of proposing here is, hand billy a bunch of high-powered tools no that's okay oh no dude he knows the chop shop all right he knows the chop shop spencer thank you very much um we'll be in touch about how this whole thing is coming together but uh you you're the best you're the best you've taken load off i think this is something productive that we can all come together and and donate to how about let's just say that we'll donate it you want to donate to the scholarship fund let's do that all right the NAACP scholarship fund done is where this money is perfect all right happy to be a part of it all right thank you thanks man all right boys all right see you see ya um okay so i think we got this. I just want to hit a booger, too, and just confirm with him.
Billy, are you, I think, chopping it up, and then we have to sell it? Because then if you sell a wheel for so much, sell another wheel, it's going to be more than the whole thing. But I think you've got to chop it even smaller.
Yeah, yeah. You have to figure out how to ship all this stuff out.
So all the chop shops, so if you steal a car in New York City, you go to Yonkers to the chop shops. Bonkers, yeah.
Yeah, bonkers. We're not saying the name.
Or if in Manhattan. But you realize that you're- Yeah, you're- Oh, distribution.
Well, just mail it. You will.
Boxes. Yeah, I'll labor.
Yeah, you're going to get money off of this. I know.
I'm going to get this truck. I'm going to get this Humvee.
Okay.
All right, so there we go.
We have Billy.
I actually like this because PFT, we now have Billy focused on something.
This should be a pro bono deal for Billy.
I know.
I know.
At the end, once all the parts are mailed out, then we'll give you a lump sum of whatever
you've earned.
Correct.
Correct.
It's not going to be like you sell a part for $100 and then be like, give me $10.
Right.
Then I'll donate some of it myself.
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. No, these guys don't need a deed.
No, dude. 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 me and make sure dollar for the license plate well if you go to the dmv and get get it officially off of my insurance and that's fine you can you can sell the license plates for yourself 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 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 nwac pft is the hashtag to the scholarship fund we'll add up that and we'll get to this money we'll probably raise more money yeah so i to be clear i'm not counting the money from the awls towards the money that i owe correct i'm going to figure out how to total towards the total that we all raising together.
Anything we make off of Vanny Woodhead, minus Billy's commission, we will donate regardless. We're not going to pocket money off of Vanny Woodhead.
No, no. And if you want to buy a shirt, I think we should do that epic handshake ending racism shirt, right? Yeah.
Boom. Yeah, because we can't count on Billy.
No. All right, let's do our Who's Back of the Week, and then we'll get to Blake Griffin.

Who's back of the week? Hank,
you're back. I am back.
My who's back of the week is Looney Tunes. Thanks for wearing Tennessee
Orange today. I got you.
And you too.
What's your name?
It's Harley. William.
Yeah, check your Pantones,
big cat. Isn't Billy looking for that?
That's closer to Virginia Tech Orange. I'm cutting the Red Bull, and we had jacked.
Okay. It's going to be sick.
Okay. All right, Hank, Looney Tunes.
Who's back? 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.
What? So they're coming out with a new series or season or whatever of Looney Tunes. They're just not going to apparently have like weapons what about wile 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 so we're not we're not doing guns but we can do cartoony violence tnt the acme stuff what about what about all that was grandfathered in i mean what about elmer Fudd having a lisp? Isn't that offensive? Probably.
What about Pepe Le Pew just literally raping everyone?
That's bad.
He is.
Pepe Le Pew is a rapist.
I don't know the answers to that.
I'm sure we're going to find out in the upcoming months.
All right.
My other who's back of the week is Vegas videos.
I guess there's a couple things.
Las Vegas is back in multiple ways.
There was the video that was tweeted out from on on this weekend of the casinos being reopened, and there's just being a million people out and about. No one's wearing masks.
No one's practicing social distancing. So people are freaking out about that.
And then there was today, Sunday, was the anniversary of the Capitals winning the Stanley Cup two years ago. and I was reminded remember the uh pft allegedly having to wear those pants to the party why do you keep saying allegedly i know you tweeted that out too you said allegedly i well so this is what happened 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's a real shame like it's a travesty that this this picture never surfaced and then almost like a bot this person read like a bot he really put 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 and he said i was there too celebrating the cup cup with my uncle he needed pants to get the club.
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.
Yeah. That sounds like someone that was like, you know, trying to push the narrative that you were wearing pants.
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. 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, why is there so much racism in the world and stuff like that? 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. Yeah.
This guy just walked into a hipster coffee coffee shop and they were all talking about how big pft's pants were interesting uh listen so it happened it happened that's a fact 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 you told 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 bands are preposterous. So 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. I have to admit, this would be incredible if I had made up the pants story.
If that's the route that I chose to go. Well, I'm hoping.
The Larry David, remember that story about 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? 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 in these pants. I want to bring attention to this, bring light to this subject and hope that somewhere, somehow, someone can surf as a video.
If you were in the Las Vegas area the week of June 6th, 2017, 2018. There are more cameras in Vegas than anywhere else on Earth, right? I know.
That's what Ocean's 11 taught me. I know.
So there should be some hotel footage. If you work at, where's Hakkasan? That's where the party was.
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. You tell me.
and there should be pictures of me walking through the lobby of the MGM Grand go back to June 7th right? Yep. 2018 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 of me.
I did text my friend Matt who originally alerted me and said I said it's a real shame and he just goes they made JNCOs look like high fashion. They were big pants.
No one hears that. 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 it.
Yeah, fuck it. Go for that.
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? The middle of August, actually. Really? I think like the second.
Right in the middle of the. The second week of August.
Right in the middle of the NBA playoffs. You're going somewhere in June.
You're going somewhere in three weeks. Well, we have a mandated work vacation.
Right. But you're going.
That's a vacation. Well, that's a work.
That's not even my choice. Work forced us to take that week off.
Yeah, Billy. That doesn't really count.
Billy is scabbing hard. Like, he's...
Billy is a very eager scab whenever you leave. Listen, if you guys are going to shame me for vacations and label me as, you know, the vacation guy, it's something I'm just going to have to embrace.
Okay. You're going to make me take a spite vacation.
Oh, no. Don't threaten me with a good time, man.
Oh, no. be gone yeah oh no yeah who's gonna press record exactly daily you trust billy wally bib okay my who's back of the week is conor mcgregor at least conor mcgregor's retirements are back because he retired again kind of out of nowhere people have been speculating who's he gonna fight next we talked a little bit to dana white about that but he uh he tweeted out yesterday that he was officially retiring he's done he asked his mom what kind of house she wanted or something along those lines so conor mcgregor has pulled his semi-annual brett farve and i love it and he has said uh 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 come.
In fact, say, hey, I'm retiring. Now the news cycle is on me.
Yes. So we're waiting on Magic Johnson to confirm with just like a congrats, Conor McGregor.
He had a great MMA career, one of the all-time greats tweet. And then at that point, it's official.
But I'm sure he's not coming back. No way.
In like October. No chance.
Or November. Whenever Khabib's next up to fight him yeah well or if khabib loses the retirement in in the fight game is also just especially funny because you know pro athletes can retire all the time then 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 dollars all you you have to do is fight one more time.
Mike Tyson's about to fight. Yeah, right.
Like, okay. Floyd Mayweather's still got another fight, I'm sure.
Every fighter is retired until they accept their next fight. Yes, right.
Right. It's good to have him back.
He's not big on the Irish goodbyes. All right.
My who's back of the week is football coaches or or college coaches in general, having no idea what goes on in their own program. So Kirk Ferencz, there's a do-to-do at Iowa right now.
There was accusations made that the strength and conditioning coach has said some racist things in the back. Great on the guys speaking up.
Now, Kirk Ferencz has done a pretty good job of listening, it seems like, and being like, we got to get this right, put him on administrative leave. But he did also do my favorite thing that every coach does when he's like, I don't know, I've never heard anything like that.
Yeah. Every coach that has ever coached in college, basketball or football, is the biggest control freak you've ever met they know everything they every every everything that goes on on campus no matter what yeah and i mean i wouldn't be shocked if you were telling me that anyone on any coaching staff like a strength and conditioning coach has crossed the line yeah sometimes they're general they're people that live on the line right of a lot of stuff now this is obviously different to even like approach the line of racism with your own players when you're working them out.
That's a big problem. I don't know if, Kirk Ferencz, how active are college football coaches in terms of – People get mad when we say his name wrong too.
Ferencz? Yeah, I don't know. I say it how I want to say it.
Are they in – You know what, Iowa? We're your shield. You don't even have to be mad about this whole do-to-do.
You can now be mad at us for saying the name wrong. They need to take a page out of the Riley Cooper handbook and just send him away to rehabilitation.
Yeah. Send him to racism camp where he goes and does a 12-step program.
He comes back a week later, and he's not racist anymore. I just love any coach ever trying to use this defense.
He did it very quickly, and I think he moved on again i think he's done a pretty good job of uh of of actually listening to his former players but fuck man it's so funny like like rick patino i just trusted too many people too much no you know everything that goes on all the time that's why you're a coach of a power five program the uh 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.
It's he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said. Got it.
Always fun. All right.
Let's get to our interview with Blake Griffin. 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.

Okay, we now welcome on our very good friend. He is the current Blake of the Year, which we should start there.
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? No, you know, after a lot of reflection and sort of this past year and a lot of time to think, I just feel comfortable with where I am in the world of Blake's and, you know, the best Blake win. That's all I have to say about that.
It sounds like you're confident. Yeah.
That's not really a Blake move to be confident in their Blake-ness. Wait, it's not? I don't think so so i think pretty sure that's one of the that's one
of the founding that's true pillars of of a blake like being quietly 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 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 want
Thank you. we need leaders who are confident in what their name is.
Okay. Now, I've seen a few things going on social media recently from you, Blake.
I want to address them. First of all, let's start with something positive.
I read an article earlier today. It said Blake Griffin spotted outside Joe and the Juice with his abs visible through his T-shirt.
So is that a Blake move to have such like a big six-pack that it can be seen through like basically a sweatshirt um is it a blake move that's a good question again i 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 um and I know that sounds a little bit defensive but I don't know I've worked hard over the past uh you know since my rehab began and um I'm you know I I try to wear tight shirts and like you know showed off a little bit are you are you still injured or no are you back I'm not I'm I'm uh I guess you could say I'm cleared, but obviously our season's over. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Your season's not over. They have that loser practice that they're letting everyone go to.
Yeah, I mean, we do that in the offseason no matter what. Teams get together and have their little mini camps.
Are you not going to go to the loser practice? Are you not going to go to the – I saw that 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 I might have added the saddest thing ever part yeah that is pretty sad I don't know we'll cross that bridge when we come to i got a blake of the year competition coming up that's very important true we're thinking about changing up the rules this time in the blake of the year competition we're not going to tell you how but we gotta we gotta 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 to be fair to keep the rules the same hey i Hey, I mean, whatever you guys want to do. You know, they changed the rules in the NBA to keep people from dominating.
Well, Chamberlain from dominating. So, you know, I'll adapt.
All right, so next thing that we saw you in the press for, do you want to talk about the kickball game? You had a kickball game? How'd you do? I did great. We won 9-5.
I hit two home runs and a grand slam. So, you know, I'm trying to 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.
I think that's the most exhilarating thing I've done've done like recently. Right.
You know, like it was just, you know, the monotony of the quarantine and, and, you know, not seeing anybody. And we finally got some people together, played a little kick, kick ball and, you know, tried to social distance at the same time, but you know, it was more of a, it was an outlet, you know, to, to, for people to let out their frustrations and uh get a little exercise so we were promoting you know a healthy activity yeah how weird is it uh to know that someone's there like taking pictures of you and listening like the paparazzi these are all paparazzi so crazy 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.
There was like a family in like deep, deep in the outfields, like one of those ones where
it didn't have a fence.
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.
So in my opinion, like we, I have a rat.
Yes.
We have a rat in the group and I got to sniff them out.
Whoa.
I feel like it's Frankie.
I think it's Frankie Delgado. I'm reading this article right now.
You think so? He's a star on the hills. He is the one guy that has the most to gain by having paparazzi show up everywhere.
Damn. Remember me? I'm Frankie.
I'm on TMZ. Yeah.
Chandler Parsons, though, too, kind of gains a little bit.
That's true. He does.
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?
First of all, camera angles can be deceiving.
True. Yeah.
I know they did see, like, a chest bump at one point,
but we kind of did the back turn chest bump. Okay chest bump so as not to be face-to-face.
We had a set of rules in place, testing before and after. Not for COVID, just sort of just a testing.
So, you know, we took precautions and we were willing to live with the consequences. So, no, I'm not going to apologize.
Yeah. Listen, sports will find a way.
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? 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. And I think we woke up the next morning and it was out and we like sitting around the group chat um i i did pose the question like do we have a rat in the group and um i'm doing my own internal investigation you you know what you need to do you need to text the group chat and be like i'm thinking about retiring yeah but text wow text everybody but frankie i'm not retiring and then send a text to frankie being like hey I'm thinking about retiring.
Yeah, but 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?
And then just see what comes up in the press.
You've got to leak some bad info.
That's what the Browns did with Condoleezza Rice.
You're like the anti-Kawhi.
Kawhi, we couldn't get anything out of him.
We didn't know until he decided.
You play fucking kickball, and we know that you hit a grand slam. We had tightened this up.
Yeah. Listen, that's just the world we live in.
I choose to go about things differently. And, um, I don't know.
I mean, I listen to guys. That's all I had to say about the matter.
Okay. Well then let's do the last one.
This is the most important one. You were pretty upset, and I think you might have been upset at the wrong person.
The headline is Blake Griffin airballs and bricks shot in pickup game with kids.
Quarantine rust?
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.
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.
I don? Sure. Yes.
Sue me. I'm human.
I have an ego just like everybody else. 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.
They didn't even include the final score. They didn't put the final score.
They didn't put final stats. Every time I got it, besides those two times, I scored.
And literally, I would even have to let him shoot multiple times and get the rebound and shoot again. Just so it wasn't a complete bloodbath at home later.
How many blocks did you have? Of course, they choose not to write that, huh? How many blocks did you have? I had upwards of 15. Yeah, and they didn't include any of that.
I think that's fair for you to be upset about that. If you're going to show the bad stuff, show you posterizing your son.
That's the side of the media that they don't want to show that side of me. The media completely twisted that story and made me look like I was playing bad.
I made my son cry. I agree with you, though.
A guy hiding in the bushes. That's fucking weird.
It's really strange. It's so weird.
I do want to give credit to whoever wrote this story. They don't tell you who writes it.
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. 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.
What was that like? Going
onto the court next to you and saying excuse me sir, I'm Blake Griffin. I just airballed this shot.
Can I have it back? We kind of did like a thing where like I kind of like had to, you know, jog over there to grab it. And we kind of like made eye contact.
And I did give him just like a kind of like a sheepish like, yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, it's me.
It's me. You're right.
It is me, Blake Griffin. You do have a rat, though.
I'm sorry that that just happened. You definitely have a rat.
So we'll help you figure out who it is if you need our help with anything. Can you guys go undercover for me? Yeah.
Absolutely. It's been my dream.
We'll take pictures of the paparazzi. That would be great.
And then we'll make our own headlines. Yes, yes.
I have a real question for you so nba is going to be back uh we already talked the the pistons the pistons would have been in if you if you were played the whole year we all know that because you were you just dominate and just yam on people how for the idiot sports fans and i count myself as one of them how much rust is there and how how long is it going to take for guys to get all the way back to like prime playing you know 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's kind of depends to be honest I think like once once like we've known this was probably going to happen for I would say like or at least I at least I've known for, like, maybe three weeks or so. So, like, I'm sure guys are starting to, like, ramping back up right now.
Then, you know, everybody reports June 21st. You have training camp for literally, like, almost six weeks.
And, you know, you play 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. 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, you know, maybe that holds the guy or holds the team back.
But, I mean, you also have to deal with that in the regular season and postseason normally normal year. So I think, I think it's a really good plan.
I think they put, they put enough time in to allow guys to, you know, be prepared as possible. But yeah, there will be some rust, but I don't think it will be too bad.
Yeah. Do you think there's going to be way more rust on offense than there will be on team defense? Good question.
Thanks. Way more rust on offense than team defense? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, I would say yes.
Okay, I'm asking for over-unders, obviously. What about shooting in a small gym with no fans? Do you think that affects anyone's depth perception, that kind of thing? Might actually be better depth perception because you're in that small gym.
You get the wall right behind you. Right.
How does that affect it? Yeah. It'll be interesting because, like, 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.
These are going to feel like scrimmages. Yeah.
Interesting. It's going to be the guys.
You know what? Carmelo is probably going to be awesome because he loves playing in those gyms. Yeah.
That's true. Yeah.
I mean, 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.
Yeah, the Lifetime Fitness All-Stars.
Right.
Those are the guys I'm going to bet on.
Do you think that – you think the Rockets will have a good run?
Because James Harden, like he can't go to – there's probably like some strip clubs in Orlando.
There are.
But once you hit a few, like you've seen them all.
Yeah, I mean, some guys need that outlet, though.
Some guys are better when they have their vice, whatever it is.
I'm not saying that that is his vice.
You guys said that.
I'm not saying that.
Correct.
Correct.
But you implied it, yeah.
So, I don't know.
Maybe he needs that vice.
Maybe he needs something to help him play at his best level. But he's a good player no matter what.
But yeah, I don't know. I guess we'll find out if that's truly his secret to success.
So Orlando, the whole notion of the league basically taking place in one city, are you kind of glad that you don't have to spend a month and a 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.
But you know, since we're out, like it makes sense not to bring teams who have no chance of, of getting into that eighth spot. I mean, like Washington, even if I think Washington's five game back, five games back from the eighth seed and they're playing eight regular season games.
So, like, they're going to have to run the table, obviously. And is it Brooklyn that's eight? Well, no, 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.
guess – they kind of are back in it sort of, although they still have to do well in such a small period of time. Right.
That's the issue. And then it comes down to like scheduling.
Like what if like their – eight of their – 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 – 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 win because, you know, they're one of the probably presumptive favorites here 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? 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, wow. Right.
It's almost like that came next. You know what I mean? No, I hear you.
You laid the building blocks for the championship. 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? Yeah, I'll probably get one.
Yeah one yeah yeah i don't want to i don't want to speak out of turn but like you know i'm you know we're all obviously still very very close yeah um you know we talk all the time um i'm sure i'll be getting a a call or it'd be the classy thing i don't need like the whole yeah i don't need the whole ceremony but like you know like i think it'll be it'll be nice to go to the parade if they win.
Do you think that whichever team does end up winning the championship should have an asterisk?
Boy, I mean, I think it's always going to have an asterisk just because of the year.
I don't know that it takes anything away from winning a championship,
but just the year is just so insane. It's so messed up.
The lockout year, it was just shorter. But everything still felt the same.
This is just completely different. So I don't know.
I guess there will always be sort of an asterisk, but not in terms of it didn't mean it's a championship. I kind of agree with you on that.
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 have an asterisk too, just because it's weird. This year is just so weird.
No fans, yeah. It's just like this was a weird year.
It's bizarre. You get the weird championship.
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 brings a different a different feel you know and you know me i'm a show pony i like i like a crowd and i like we always say that yeah seat yeah blake the show pony yeah like blake show pony that's actually great rolls right off the tongue 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 uh like even if we're taking out coronavirus but if this is 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 uh off and it feels like I always just feel like it should start on christmas day that's when the nba season should yeah i i completely agree it's just a matter of like you know where are we going to make those games up like that you know i don't see them shortening it to less than like under 70 games you know what i mean i could just because there's just so much money involved i don't know that owners are going to like completely go for that But, yes, I do think that we should push our start date back.
Just because we're competing against college football and NFL football, which is so big, and then also MLB playoffs. Right.
So, you know, like pushing that date back a little bit, I feel like the casual fan of sports doesn't really care about basketball until Christmas anyway. Right.
Yeah. No, there's a diehard NBA fans will care the game one, but it definitely is.
It definitely feels like it's monopolized by football in those first two months. Yeah.
100%. Blake, have you still not gotten a call about Space Jam? Still waiting.
Fired several agents because they couldn't get an answer back. So still, you know, my fingers crossed for reshoots or even if they need like a promo commercial or something, you know.
As long as I can be associated. 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 of Space Jam.
How about LeBron's alpha neighbor?
Oh, okay.
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 you like duh told you guys so where oh when he left houston yeah or when he got traded from houston yeah yeah when he was going to houston no um no no no no no i mean you know i don't think it was like um i don't think it was because of that.
I think Houston felt they needed to make a change. Oh, yeah.
I don't know. I'm not in the front office for the Rockets, so I can't speak to that per se.
Yeah. Interesting.
I think I've successfully asked a Chris Paul question on every single time you've come on this show. Definitely.
So I just want to check that box off. Yeah, it seems to be interesting.
What type of home insurance would you not purchase right now? What type of home insurance? Is this a setup to like a joke? No, it's not. I'm just asking you like if there's a specific company that might advertise a lot on television.
Cliff Paul and Chris Paul. That you would like to slander on our airwaves.
That would be fine. Well, I do love the, well, I don't know, know man that's a good question yeah yeah off the top of my head i just can't think of of one um this is smart because i'll have to check you never know who's going to advertise i'm at with mine and maybe i'll switch companies soon but i But I'll have to do extensive research on what would be a good company.
Yeah. All right.
That's smart. Don't say no to any possible future advertisers.
I like where your hands are. State Farm.
Yeah, right. Exactly.
I like to keep my options open and really do my due diligence and find out what each company is about. Right.
Think about it this way. 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. I'm not just going to start, you know, wheeling insults willy-nilly at companies because, like, you know, I'm trying to be a spokesman.
Yeah. It'd be a bad teammate thing for you to do.
Right. Right.
Yeah. And I don't throw teammates under the bus.
Nope. Never.
That actually is true. Never.
Because this is sarcasm, but Blake is actually a great teammate. He is a great teammate.
Everyone needs to recognize that. Hey, thanks, guys.
Yeah, but I was actually being sarcastic. I know I've been sarcastic for 99%.
Yeah, but you are a good teammate. I don't.
All right, while we're not being sarcastic. There is one guy.
There is one, if you guys have time, I wanted to talk about. Yeah, go for it.
Your brother?
Yeah, least favorite teammate of all time.
Like, wouldn't share his toys growing up.
Like, 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.
All right, so while we're being a little serious for a second,
We'll be right now. What's it been like in L.A.? What's it been watching the last like week and a half, 10 days of, you know, everywhere, everywhere in America is, is having these protests.
And it seems like it's good that, that these are happening, but, but you've obviously been, you know, watching it from the front lines in LA. Yeah.
I like, I did say like, it's, it's very, it's, it was very like discouraging at first, like seeing like, you know, stuff like this still happen. And we're still at this place and still having to protest 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 care and I was talking to coach Casey uh Dwayne Casey and he was talking about I mean he was like he was the fifth black player to play at Kentucky he was the he 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 um he was like you know it back then there was no white people protesting with us there were none so like in that regard obviously we have taken steps forward and it's also been inspiring to me to see how many people are 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. That is inspiring.
Of course, there's always going to be people who are going the opposite way, trying to get a rise out of people or people who are just racist. But I think it has been really cool to see people come together and show the good side of us.
Yeah, I've definitely noticed that too.
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.
I've started to see small improvements.
And you're right, I've seen more people educating themselves,
more people joining the cause and helping to fight and speaking up.
So 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 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 us as a people, us as a country,
as opposed to what are the Clippers specifically going to do about this?
Have you kind of felt that too?
Yeah.
I mean,
I feel like,
I mean,
everybody's sort of been called to,
to share their voice or share their stance.
And,
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. You know, some people post.
Some people go march. Some people protest certain places that they know don't hold the same value.
Some people donate. Some people volunteer.
We all go about it differently. But as long as, like, you're going that direction, like, I think it's an improvement and it's 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.
Like, it's not a competition. Like at the end of the day, if you are working to improve our system, then you're helping.
So like, the only thing I don't love about it is, you know, when, when people are sort of pointing fingers and saying, Oh, this person's not doing enough for this person didn't act quick enough. Like if people are, are going that way, like I feel like we should be a little bit more lenient and, and respect that they are maybe taking their time to educate themselves and figure out exactly how they want to, how they want to go about everything.
Because like I said, people are, are speaking up. and I think that's a good thing.
I agree. I think the least productive thing that we can do right now is shame somebody for speaking up.
People make it a contest. Exactly.
I think it's like the more the merrier at this point. We're all in this together.
If you want to speak up, if you want to help or do anything, that should be applauded no matter what. Yeah.
Yeah. I saw your take here.
You said, I think the least that Roger Goodell and Drew Brees could do is make the Saints sign Colin Kaepernick. That's a spicy take.
I like it. 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 Arians, and that would be just incredible.
I also just kind of threw that out there. One of the best responses is somebody responded with the Jameis Winston quenting at the scoreboard.
I was like, I want to tweet off. Sorry, James.
My bad.
I just fired that off.
I didn't think about your – him just signing there.
So hopefully it didn't take offense to that.
Yeah.
That would be a hell of a – yeah, I'm looking at his tweet right now.
That's pretty awesome.
Yes.
That would be a great quarterback room, though.
Yes.
Is that all for those guys?
It would.
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.
Yes.
Thank you. unbelievable yes um all right i got one last question for you blake we had a friend of yours jensen carp on the show a couple weeks ago very good interview seems like a really good guy but at the end he kind of gave off the vibe that he was better friends with you than we are wow yeah wow so you know what we should do we should have like one know, like remember the newlywed show where you, 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. Oh, wait, wait.
I'm just, I'm getting a text back right now from my source at TMZ. He says that Jensen Karp is your leak, is your rat.
Yeah. So you should probably kick him out of your inner circle.
We would never do that to you.
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.
I can't really speak to that at this moment,
but as soon as we feel comfortable that we have, you know,
come to the right conclusion, I will release a statement.
Also ignore the fact that I just said I had a contact at TMZ. We got to fucking find this guy.
Who do you think it is? Somebody at TMZ? No, I don't know anybody at TMZ. Somebody at TMZ texting you? Nope, nope, not me.
We got to find this guy. What's the reward if we find your rat? Yeah.
I mean, I think we can collaborate on a reward, but I mean... You should think you're dead.
Yeah, I think we can collaborate On a reward but I mean You should fake your death I don't think we can work together You should fake your death Oh boy That's uh I don't know if I can handle that That much responsibility at a time like this Yeah I don't know actually how it would find the rap But I just think you should fake your your death as like a joke. Yeah, I mean, we'll keep that in the back pocket.
Just remember we always have that. We always have that card that we can pull.
Fake the death card. We got that ace in the hole.
Yeah. I mean, you could probably sell a hell of a lot of life insurance after that when you come back.
Yeah, true. Oh, yeah.
What if I took out a big life insurance policy, faked my own death, got the and then i was like hey you guys already gave it to me but i'm alive no backsies i technically get to keep it there's like loopholes in life insurance uh-huh i think that's one of them yeah and you'll do commercials for them if you say no backsies when they give you the money i think you're legally fine or just coughing if you just cough and sneeze all over it they're not going to ask for it back they're like oh that's germ money you got this you got this right um all right well blake we have i will i will let you know when we're going to do it but blake of the year will be happening i think i think late june we'll give a i think what do you think's fair a a three-day window that we will tell all blakes that they got to be ready because because one day is too easy, right? Yeah. All right, so we'll do a three-day.
What was it last year? I think it was a week last year. I think it was a week.
It was like Monday through Friday. Right.
The week was – I mean, it was terrifying. I was on pins and needles.
We have to do it like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Yeah, three days.
So we'll let all Blakes know.
We'll do three days of 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.
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.
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 uh i heard blake shelton was interested oh yeah that's right he's a fellow oklahoman um blake uh blake there's blake lively obviously i don't i know nothing about her but um well you can say she's a blake wasn't that video trey young Young just playing in Oklahoma, like there was just a million people around, kind of crazy? Yeah, that just happened, right? Wait, what was this? Trey Young was playing in a game, and there was like a full crowd there. In Oklahoma, like a summer league game.
Oh, yeah, Oklahoma's been like, not 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.
I'm happy for Applebee's. Oklahoma's a little further back.
Yeah, respect. That's sick.
Yeah, respect. Applebee's and the three Outbacks.
I mean... Yeah, that's so cool.
You guys, yeah, you guys, yeah. Too good for Applebee's and Outback.
No, I love Outback. 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, yeah, probably. Sure.
Did you see that map, Blake? It said that Oklahoma's favorite restaurant was Tim Hortons. See, I completely, I could be out of the loop.
I completely disagree with that. Completely.
Like, there's so many other restaurants that I would say are more Oklahoma favorites than that. That made me wonder, like, who was putting this list together it was the policy institute of statistical studies it was the piss institute so are you saying that the piss institute got their got their numbers wrong i'm not particularly saying that they got their numbers wrong 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 because like i said a native oklahoman tim hortons is just like it's just it's just not what i would associate with being oklahoma's favorite fast food chain what would you say that being said everyone at piss you know if you did your due diligence, then
it's fine. It's fine.
And if I'm
wrong, I'm wrong. I will step up and apologize
to everybody at PIS.
I'll pass that along to the boys in the back.
Okay. All right.
Well, Blake,
thank you as always. Next time
we talk to you, hopefully you pick up quickly
because it's Blake of the
Year season.
Blake of the Year. Blake of the Year 2020 yes asterix thanks oh yeah yeah there's an asterix on this one on this one you said it do you want to win this i don't know i mean now now i'm thinking i might maybe i sit this year out maybe iix.

Literally, Billy is just eye-fucking my jeans right now. Could you do a squat in them? They're nice jeans.
Oh, yeah. You can work out.
They're workout-friendly jeans. I'm not going to do one right now, but I could.
You could run up to, maybe not you, but somebody could run up to a mile in those jeans. Yeah, easily.
Easily, dude. They're sick.
Can you hook me up? Yeah. Okay.
By the way, sell that fucking car. I'm addicted to calling things Virgil's now.
Like using that as a unit of money. Yeah.
Yeah. Virgil Abloh, 50 bucks.
Okay. A thousand Virgil's to charity.
All right. Hank, let's do it.
We got Mount Flushmore of vacation things. So things that suck on vacation because Hank is just off vacation.
We know he didn't have that great of a time. Well, the reason why we want to do this for you, Hank, is because you just went on vacation.
You're vacation shamers. And we wanted to get Hank.
You're trying to start a smear campaign against vacations. 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 in the top of your mind.
We dominate every Mount Flushmore. You go first.
You go first. It's the worst parts about vacation.
And you... I mean, again, I'm sorry that you have to go on all these vacations.
I am too. Knowing how bad they are.
Yeah. You really shut off too this time.
Oh, yeah. We weren't expecting that.
Really? Yeah. You didn't even respond to texts.
No texts. We were like, Hank is gone.
Yeah. That was out of spite.
Hank, how long did it take you to get caught up on the saga that the $50,000 problem was? I was having a great time. I was a little drunk just laughing, laughing, laughing.
Every message I was coming in, I was just slapping my knee. We figured that you would not have any idea what we were talking about.
Okay. 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? And you guys were like, yeah, go for it.
And then, you know, I'm away, I'm waking up, and it's like, just tweet, tweet, tweet. Like, they're chirping you, blah, blah, blah..
I was like, you know what? Okay. I'm not engaging.
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 it's your responsibility to clean up afterwards. Okay.
If it's like a fancy meal that involves several pots, pans, that sort of thing. And you do nothing beforehand, and then you eat it you probably you're probably a little drunk and you're like i'm full like i just want to do nothing and you're like oh yeah hot take i think the people that cook those dinners like they love cooking those dinners so it's not it's not even a chore to them yeah on vacation they think okay 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 for them.
Yes. Okay.
PFT, your pick. My first pick is going to be sunburns.
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 a lot of color. Yeah.
That's a good one. Nothing worse than a sunburn.
All right. My first one, I'll go with 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 anticipation the night before when you're like, I'm excited to go on vacation, but I have to pack. Yep.
That sucks. And then missing your dog.
That sucks. Yeah.
Part of vacation. You only have one.
You only had one. What are you talking about? Billy's going to.
No, Billy's going honorable mention. Oh, okay.
I didn't really want Billy. We have a lot of Billy's brain in this show.
That's a good spin zone on Big Cat's part for forgetting that Billy was going to be the fourth Mount Rushmore. No, I said he was doing honorable mention.
Okay. He just didn't listen.
Did you? No, no. I'm not.
You're waiting until the end. Yeah.
Yeah. No, no.
You're honorable mention. I told him.
Counterpoint to the dog one is the dog upon return is so good. Yeah, but it still sucks to be like, oh, I wish I'd, I wonder what my dog's doing right now.
I want to share this moment. Yeah, right.
Or you see other dogs. Yeah.
When you see another dog on vacation, you're like, yeah, I miss my dog. You feel like you're cheating.
You go on vacation, there's a big lawn. Yeah.
And you're like, my dog would love this. 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 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. Waking up on the- That's a good one.
Waking up on the third day after binge drinking for two days, and it really just all sets in. So bad.
Yeah. But you also- See, you're laughing, but it's like this- No, I know.
It's true, dude. It's like that part's a vacation.
But you also can get drunk again. Yeah.
Right. You're on vacation.
But there's that one day where you're like, oh, man, it hurts. The headache day.
Everything like it hurts the headache hurts yeah so the first couple days you have to sleep the whole day just to be able to make it to catch back up yeah 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 yeah and it it hurts too which day was that for you this last week uh i think thursday i slept all day? I basically just slept all day. I have my friend Wes that does a Heart Factor podcast.
Wes, his whole family rents a beach house every summer. And when he was a kid.
Do you shame him, too? No, it's one week a summer, which I feel like is a perfectly reasonable amount of vacation. Agreed.
You're going to be three weeks this summer. No, one of them is not my choice.
There is nothing I want to do more than come into this office the week of July 4th. Perfect.
We can't. We can.
You're almost like half of Virgil in days of vacation. But you don't shame vacations.
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. All right, Hank, your third pick.
When you are coming back from the beach and you kind of have like a shaved ass from going in the ocean, you have to ride a bike back because you don't, you know, there's no cars. Brutal.
That's true. Yeah, the beach cruiser rash is the big one.
Yes. That's true.
The beach cruiser blues. Yep.
Yep. All right.
PFT, your next pick. I like that one.
Food poisoning. That happens every time you go on vacation? Sometimes if you're in a different country.
Okay. That's what I'm saying.
Sometimes if you go to Mexico, you're not used to the food and water that they used to cook it with there. A lot of times when people travel to Asia or vice versa, they come to the United States from Asia.
The cuisine is different. The water is different.
Everything is different. So you just end up hanging out on the toilet for a couple of days.
Um, that sucks regardless vacation or not food poisoning is the worst. Although you lose a few pounds, which is nice.
Get a kickstart. Um, okay.
Hank, similar to your beach rash, uh, that sand in your shoes, like just being stuck, you can't get all the sand out and it's got that kind of annoying feel to it. 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, that salt water gets a little itchy.
A little pro tip as a pro vacationer. Yeah.
You should only be wearing flip-flops or like Crocs for the entirety of your vacation. Yeah, but what if you have shoes, you need to go to like the bar or something, you get a little sand in it.
Flip-flops. Okay.
All right, and then my last one is- If you want to truly vacation. When you go on a vacation 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 exactly when I want to go in the jacuzzi, when I'm drunk.
And they know. They know that.
Yeah, they know that. And it just sucks.
Your whole day, I want to be able to go in the jacuzzi when I want to go in the jacuzzi, and that's any time. There's absolutely no difference between hanging out in a hot tub at 5 p.m.
and then just chilling in a nice spa at 11. There's no difference to your health.
That's the worst. I agree with that.
When you actually plan your jacuzzi trips, not spur the moment. 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 8am like the too early continental breakfast.
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. And maybe like one fruit that it looks spoiled or when you go when you're out somewhere else in nice hotel and you uh order a full fucking new you're gonna what no yeah keep going 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 like a 19 dollar breakfast buffet is free vacationing done right again not saying anyone's ever done that Hank but that was an all-time move that he did it is wait now what kind of weirdos double breakfast delight what kind of weirdos wake up on time for the continental breakfast at like seven o'clock in the morning and they're like yeah I gotta be the first person down there to grab like a a playing card size box of rice krispies yeah bags yeah yeah yeah um all right hank your last one my last one is uh when you roll up to the ice cream store and as you're pulling up the line is like around oh that's such a good one i mean you obviously dominated this because you are vacation time but that is such a good one there's nothing worse than the ice cream oh it's hot outside everyone's craving you know you made the decision like let's get some ice cream.
You're like, fuck yeah, ice cream. And then if you're far away and you see the line forming, you're like, oh no, please.
Yeah, that can't be it, right? There's got to be a gas leak in the apartment building next door that's not the line for Mr. Whippy.
Right. Yeah.
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. Ah, that does suck.
That does suck. What about when you're staying 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 the bed.
Yeah. That could fuck up in a whole vacation.
You can't charge your phone correctly.
When you're sitting at a hotel and they forget to make you a towel animal.
Oh, yeah.
Come back from the beach to just regular folded towels.
Yeah.
Unbelievable.
They're getting Yelp review from me.
Yeah.
What about in the hotel where actually shout out to like the electronics companies that
sold all the iPhone for accessories to hotels all in one year. Every single alarm clock in every hotel across America went from Groundhog's Day-style 1980s alarm clock to 2009 alarm clock overnight.
And then Apple switched up the plug on it. Yep.
How about when the hotel 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. I guess I'll drink Tecate the whole, you know, vacation.
All-inclusive resorts. Usually the food's not that great.
Yeah. And they water stuff down.
And they water stuff down. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
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 yeah and then you're getting extra water in your tequila your bag being too full on the way back when you can't really repack because you like probably gain that cool shirt yeah or some kind of hat that you drank in all day and you're like i'll this hat forever. And double threat if you've got a sunburn on your shoulder and you're trying to put
that big bag over it.
Oh, man.
When it's cloudy all week and you can't get any dope picks for the gram.
Wait, was it cloudy?
No.
It was actually...
There's some good sunsets.
Did you get any dope picks for the gram?
I have a lot of experience to taste from.
There's been some cloudy days.
All right.
I think that's it.
Do we have anything else that we're...
Oh, fuck.
This should have been one of my top two. When it rains.
Yeah. Just when it rains, when it rains.
Okay. Well, we'll see everyone Wednesday.
We have, will you say something, Billy? I can't get one. Oh, your honorable mentions.
Yeah. We forgot.
Wait, how much time are we? Just one second. One second.
Changing state laws. 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.
So like in Massachusetts, you can't buy beer in gas stations. You already said this one.
And they shut down.
Yeah, but then in Rhode Island, you can't buy beer.
Then in New York, you can buy beer in gas stations, but they shut down everything really early.
And then like in Virginia, it's illegal to have a radar scanner. 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 it, even if you hide it.
So then they search your whole car. They're not allowed to search your car.
No, because they say they have their radar detector detector. No, you're right, Billy.
They can't do that. No, because they're...
Sir, am I being detained? No, they're...
They cannot search in seeds without a warrant. They can search your car
if they have the beeper that says
you got a beeper in there. It's like them seeing
drugs in your car. They can with a radar
detector. They have a radar
detector detector. No, you're right.
I just let them search my car. I have nothing to hide.
Besides a radar detector.
Billy, why don't you
get a radar detector detector? A radar detector detector detector? Yes. But that's also kind of a radar detector.
Billy, why don't you get a radar detector detector? A radar detector detector. Detector detector? Yes.
But that's also kind of a radar detector. Good point.
Wait, was that your only honorable mention? Oh, oh, oh. State law.
That's state law. Yeah, I don't like state law.
It literally is Billy versus the 10th Amendment. Yeah, and then you get to other laws, and suddenly your dog's illegal because of the dangerous dog act or something.
So I just like to stay home, and I'll come to work anytime.
This is way better than a cubicle by any means.
