5th?

It's like the 7th or 8th day of the quarantine.

The apocalypse is upon us.

Thank you. It is Wednesday, March 24th, 5th.

It's like the 7th or 8th day of the quarantine.

The apocalypse is upon us.

PFT, you were in a bad mood.

Not a bad mood, but you were in a down mood to start.

I said, are you ready to go?

And you're like, yeah.

So let's talk it out.

Let's get it out before we get to some sports news.

I mean, I was in a bad mood because we're only like two weeks away from the Kill your grandparents challenge. And like I there's people that I really like that are a little bit older.
But you know what? They told me that it was OK. So I'm just trying to see things from their point of view.
Well, I have no grandparents left. So what do I win? Well, no, it's kill your grandparents.
So I have to find somebody's grandparents to kill. OK, so but I don't have so I don't have grandparents either.
We're like playing laser tag and i don't even have the vest on so if you come up i'm just trying to figure out get how i'm going to kill someone's grandparents if i'm not allowed to leave

my house so i mean life finds a way so i'll figure it out life does find a way uh i think we're just

going to just go back and forth with our mood so like sunday i was pretty down today you're pretty

down we just gotta we gotta find that ying and the yang you you go down i'll go up i go down you go

I don go up. I go down, you go up.
We'll figure it out. Hank will just stay relatively high and playing video games for the next three months and we'll be good.
Stay medium. Shout out Jim Zorn.
Yeah. I did see somebody like right after our show was released, a guy that I follow on Twitter, burrito br Shits, tweeted like that feeling when you tune into the sports comedy podcast and they're more depressed than you are.
Yeah, dude. I mean, listen, I'll bring the energy today.
You pick me up on Sunday. Let's start with some Cam Newton news.
Cam Newton gets cut from the Panthers, officially over. It is a little weird when something like that happens because Cam Newton like was the Panthers.
Do you know what I mean? The Panthers obviously haven't been an organization for that long. It's Jake DeLome, it's Cam Newton, and Cam Newton was the heyday of the Panthers.
He was an MVP, and he also never had a really good wide receiver besides Steve Smith and got screwed out of probably some great years of his prime carrying a bad Panthers team to the Super Bowl in 2015 and now it's all over and what did the Panthers do right after they signed a wide receiver for like the second most money they've signed a wide receiver for in the last 10 years that is funny yeah the best wide receiver he's played was probably Ted Ginn. Well, Steve Smith, yeah.

Well, Steve Smith, yeah.

I'm not counting him.

He was already there before him.

But they got Ginn.

They got Devin Funchess and Kelvin Benjamin.

Kelvin.

And that's about it.

Ray Carruth was in the overlap there.

So they had in 2015, Cam Newton won the MVP of the NFL,

throwing for 35 touchdowns and running for 10 touchdowns. He took the Panthers to a 15-1 record, and his wide receivers were Ted Ginn, Devin Funchess, Corey Brown, and the 33-year-old Jericho Cotterie.
That's incredible. Like, just put that out there, and whenever someone – and I know Cam is kind of a polarizing figure sometimes because he does make it about himself a lot, but who cares? He's an unbelievable player, and he had an unbelievable career, and they did him no favors basically his entire time with the Panthers.
I was looking through it. There's a guy – I went through like every single year of Cam Newton and who were his wide receivers.
So the first few years he had Steve Smith, but he also had a guy.

There was a year of 2014.

His receivers were Kelvin Benjamin, Jericho Cotterie, Corey Brown, and Brenton Burson.

That's a real guy.

That's a real guy.

He also had a year where he had Kelvin Benjamin, Devin Funchin funchess curtis samuel and russell shepherd all real guys that played with that stuff yeah i i wish that we had been doing our chris bermans for that like i'm not a i'm not a perfect person would have been pretty solid to do that like they're just flowing off the tip of my brain right now but yeah he's cam is uh it's like always a bridesmaid never a bride in terms of the receivers that they brought in. It's a big 27 dresses guy at the podium too.
But yeah, they signed a good wide receiver all of a sudden. And now Cam is like, he's on the receiving end of business decision right now.
The Panthers are moving on. It's crazy.
They got a fifth round pick for Kyle Allen. I'm sorry, Kyler Allen.
He was more Kyle than Kyler Murray, so he took the ER. And so they got a fifth-round pick for him, and now they couldn't get anything for Cam Newton because of the coronavirus not making it possible to have a reputable physical done on a quarterback.
So they couldn't trade him for anything. And so now he's just kind of going to to test the free market and there are a few different destinations that I would like to see Cam at just for just for the excitement of all of it all right let's go through them I also should mention that um in in very Bears like fashion they traded for and are paying Nick Foles when they could have just waited and not traded for Cam Newton and just signed him so that was very classic like ryan pace probably saw that cam newton got cut and was like wait how that can happen like i didn't know that was a possibility he just never saw that coming never ever saw that coming and now it's uh it's just it's just perfect that that happened so where would you like to see him patriots number one patriots number one still like to see him in Chicago.
Like, why not? Why not bring him to Chicago? And Jameis. Yeah.
Yeah. Collect them all.
Actually, that's a big time John Gruden move. I could see Gruden going after him because Gruden probably fell in love with Cam Newton watching him in the booth on Monday Night Football.
That's what Gruden does is if he broadcasts a couple of your games where you play well, he instantly will fall in love with you and remember you for always and forever for being that guy that dominated. I'm sure that he made a connection with him when he was doing Gruden's quarterback camp thing where he'd sit him down in the room that was just filled with a bunch of VHS tapes and just watch film for five minutes and just start orgas orgasming spontaneously because the only one person that John Gruden didn't love was it was Jimmy Klassen.
Jimmy Klassen because he like made an excuse. He was like yeah I made a route adjustment and my wide receiver didn't see it.
He's like sounds like you're blaming somebody else. He also didn't like Jay Cutler because John Gruden was friends with mark trussman so that was a very like he was very apparent and very like uh open about his hate for how that all went and i think i remember exactly when i realized john gruden just loved every quarterback no matter what it was the case keenum monday night football game with the texans when he was saying the case keenum was a ninja and he could see him like being a franchise like, okay, wait, hold on a second.
John Gruden just likes everyone. This doesn't make sense.
You realize that you're kind of the sucker. Jaws.
Jaws, I remember at one point, fell in love with Brody Croyle. And at that point, I knew, yeah, Jaws just likes quarterbacks.
All-time name, though. All-time name.
I think he was 0-10 with the Chiefs. So Cam Newton to the Patriots.
Cam Newton to the Raiders would be interesting. How about Cam Newton to the Broncos? Ooh.
Yeah. Throw that out there.
He kind of fits the John Elway mold. He's tall.
Very tall. He's got a good arm.
John Elway tends to like more, shall we say, ham and eggs type of players.

What do you mean?

And Cam Newton.

I think he likes guys that are like coach's sons.

Like how do you mean?

Like explain it.

John Elway tends to like guys that he would set up to marry his daughter.

Oh, okay. So you're saying if he wouldn't want cam newton in his house i i'm not saying that i'm just saying john elway is the kind of guy that he likes a quarterback um that walks in the door and you're like oh uh that guy he is a coach on the field okay so char also, I like that.
How about Cam Newton going to the Bucs and backing up Brady? That would be nice. Yeah, hell yeah.
I'd love to see that. I'd like to see maybe the Redskins, maybe the R-Words, collect all the old Carolina Panthers quarterbacks.
You're getting your guys in the door. You're installing your system.
Why not? Yeah, that one makes sense. Or how about Cam Newton? Actually, what about Cam Newton to the Texans? Because Bill O'Brien wants to kill Deshaun Watson.
So you might want a backup plan there. That's pretty good.
Yeah. Or Cam Newton to the Houston Roughnecks.
They just lost PJ Walker. There you go.
There you go. So Cam Newton cut.
Is there any other NFL news that's going around? I mean, I feel like – actually, I know what the other NFL news is going around. I don't know who started this rumor, but all of a sudden I looked on Twitter on Monday and people were like, please, you can't cancel the NFL season.
I was like, who started this? Why are we talking about this? Don't even talk about it. If you talk about it, then that means it's a chance that it can be canceled.
So don't even bring it up. I mean, I think we started that rumor with Billy Football.
Getting everybody prepared saying we can't lose football season. No, we can't.
So that scared the shit out of me when I saw that. That was the scariest thing I've seen in a while.
That's a big wake-up call. But the markets are opening back up.
We're going to get the markets going again. So I think NFL season will be okay, but if for no other reason than to protect Billy football senior year and ensure that we have an NFL season, stay inside for now.
There was some other – I saw you tweet about this today, about how the Falcons assembling nothing but first-round picks is like a great strategy. Did they get another first-round pick? Well, they got Laquan Treadwell.
And I actually think that I'm the GM of the Falcons because I have long been in favor of this strategy with my thoughts of Kevin White being an all-time first rounder and Shane McClellan also having a first round grade even though he was not a first round talent. Like if you draft someone in the first round, they could suck for five years.

But when it comes to trading them, I'm like,

yo, that was a first-rounder.

Like, at one point, Mel Kuyper had him in the first round.

So it's somewhere in there.

I'll take a chance on that.

Like, give me Darko.

He was a lottery pick.

I'll take a chance on that because at some point, someone believed that he was better than Carmelo Anthony.

So I'm definitely able to trick my brain.

If you have that first round next to you,

Thank you. You just happen to pick up those guys four years later after they've already kind of washed out a little bit.
So you capitalize on that where you're not spending money. It's tough to do if you pick first overall.
I think if you just pick first overall, you just take whoever Stephen A. Smith is less likely to scream at you for drafting.
So you just kind of minimize your risk in that way. But, yeah, I'm with you.
They should actually get Kevin White. Yeah, they should.
He he's out there he's out there to be had so i would love for him to get for him to hop on the uh falcon stream but yeah i'm i i watched the falcons made a hype video where it was roger goodell announcing all the first rounders basically saying like there's it's a combination of us sucking and us being like we'll just buy everyone else's trash to get this many first-rounders. But the hype video got me so pumped up, and I walked away from it thinking, there is no chance in hell anyone is stopping the Atlanta Falcons next year.
It's also kind of a risky move for Dan Quinn because you're collecting a bunch of people that could be called coach killers. Yeah.
A bunch of first-round picks that have kind of washed out a little bit. So that's the last person that you want around if you're Dan Quinn.
There's one other piece of NFL news. I don't know if you saw this.
This was on Reddit. Somebody sent me this link today from EaglesNation11, a longtime poster on NFL Reddit.
He ran the numbers, little sabermetrics for you, and he calculated the correlation between Mitch Trubisky's passer rating and the number of strip clubs per capita in the state in which he's playing. So kind of the James Harden thing.
And using the data, he found that there was a strong positive correlation between, I think, the amount of strip clubs per city, but there's no correlation between the strip clubs per state that he pays in.

So I don't know.

Does he really love to kiss titties?

Well, so this person, I like what they're doing.

I like the thought because that's quarantine brain.

Like I need something to do.

But anyone who knows anything knows that the NFL,

like they don't travel until Saturday afternoon and then they don't do anything.

But I like the thought. Yeah, that's a good point.
It kind of pokes a hole in it. Like they literally go from their facility, fly into the other team's city, do their meeting, do their dinner, go to sleep.
I'll tell you what, my brain is ruined in terms of graphs right now. I can't read a graph unless it's in logarithmic scale.
Right, and it's in deaths. It needs to be deaths over time.
Give me deaths and give me a curve that gets flattened somehow, like I guess the arc of Mitchell Trubisky's passes. Or if you're Clay Travis, just give me one day where the deaths go down and then you can declare victory.
Yeah. That, you know what we should start doing? Like a little Corona virus positivity.
The following people did not die yesterday of Corona virus. And then just list five people who are still alive.
I was, I was thinking actually about tweeting out at some point, just being like a CC clay Travis, a hundred percent, a hundred percent of people on earth die. So it kind of puts coronavirus in perspective how pussy it is that's no that's that's a really good point and it's like yeah are we going to get are we going to get upset because a couple dozen thousand people pass away not me i'm a big picture kind of guy and when you look at it the following people are still alive james winston Bill Murray.
Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks is still alive.
We don't know. Bob Barker.
Well, is he? Yes, he is. Tommy Lasorda.
Yes. That's what we should do.
A little coronavirus positivity going today. Tommy Lasorda is still alive.
Tommy Lasorda. I would imagine coronavirus gets on Tommy Lasorda and it just dies immediately on impact because it's just too much marinara.
It's just like it soaks in the marinara and the coronavirus becomes some delicious meatballs. Tommy's just like, I'll kick your ass, virus.
I don't want that smoke. Alright, quickly, before we do Hot Seat Cool Throne, we have to talk about everyone's Skype backgrounds in the sports world, even in the business world, too.
If you do CNN, everyone has their Skyping in from their kitchen, from their living room. So we're basically getting a peek into every single person's home the last couple weeks, and it's fascinating to look at.
So big picture, I just had one note at first, PFT, and I'll let you go from there. But I think it's a big-time try-hard move, like Orlovsky I think I saw, to have like the blatant I have kids thing where you're like, look at this.
Like, oh, my kids did a hand hand paint on this football or look at this picture of my perfect family at the beach where we're all wearing white linen clothes like get that fucking shit out of my face i i know what you're trying to do as a family man myself people look at you differently when you're a family man they give you the benefit of the doubt they're like hey that guy can't be a serial killer he has kids but i'm not buying it get the kid stuff out dan orlovsky has several game balls but most of them aren't actually game balls they're just footballs with his kids handprints on them so he is constantly reminding people watching him hey if you're going to tweet at me about running out of the back of the end zone just remember you're doing that to a father of three yes however many kids that he set up. So actually, you know what Dan should do? This just occurred to me.
If I'm Dan Orlovsky, he likes to joke about the whole running out of the back of the end zone thing. His background should just be him like behind the end zone.
And then to his right should be the end zone. And then to his right again, should be like the 5, 10, 15 yard line.
So he's just permanently in the back of the end zone when he's on TV. But yeah, so Dan in his setup, he's got a few game balls.
He's got a picture of an NFL player wearing number 69. That's Jared Allen.
That's an homage to the back of the end zone. So he's like, hey guys, I'm making the joke before you can make the joke.
Okay. All right.
I thought it was just an homage to mutual oral sex, which would have been cool too. No.
He also has – his most prominent commemorative football celebrates a 300-yard passing game that he had against the Patriots. So I looked it up.
They lost that game 31-24. That's okay.
The Colts against the Patriots. That's not bad.
You put up 24 against the Pats. You also have, for example, Will Brinson, who we consider a friend.
He just basically threw a bunch of shit behind him on his desk. He is the classic case of a guy who wasn't ready for the intrusiveness of a home camera every single day and being under like house arrest because his stuff, like get a shelf, dude.
He has no shelf. It's just random things that are tossed on his desk and he looks like, you know what he looks like? He looks like a hoarder and that's coming from a hoarder.
You don't want to look like a hoarder. Well, it's extra funny for Will because I think he did a show every single day from his house.
Yeah. So he's used to it.
But I mean, that's exactly what I would do. I've noticed that it's a copycat leak big time and just about everyone has books behind them.
A lot of people own books. And I think it's because you want to make people think that maybe you could be a lawyer if you read enough of those books and that be careful what you say about me because I'll sue you.
Maybe a little subtweet of Mike Florio. I don't know, but there are a lot of bookshelves out there.
Yeah, there are. It's definitely, when you do the bookshelves, it's a show-off move.
Like, hey, I read. I do appreciate guys like Nick Wright, though, that did not see this pandemic coming whatsoever.
And it's so clear that much like us, like Nick lives in New York City.

So his apartment probably isn't that big.

He's just sitting like on the wall in his kitchen and threw a couple things up on the

wall being like, hey, here's my office.

But if you I bet you if you took a step back, he's like, like his kids are eating breakfast

like two feet away from him because we're all live in New York city and you can't possibly have an apartment bigger than that. Yeah.
He just has a Royals world series ticket, a fake world series ticket. And then a giant Patrick Mahomes super ball champion, fake newspaper.
So it's just all Kansas city stuff. I guess the LeBron James real doll is just off screen like maybe it's folded up in the closet going like lips to feet on that one I don't know just got folded up or something actually I bet the side of the door on his door frame instead of like marking his children's height it's just LeBron how tall he's been saying LeBron James is year over year so now it's like Le james six foot nine 320 pounds yeah now that i'm looking at this i think that's just his refrigerator i think he's sitting in front of his refrigerator he's just got a big like that's he's got an apartment that's not so big but the refrigerator's huge yeah you know like well in new york city sometimes you'll go into an apartment if you're looking for apartments like this place is a box but check out the sub-zero and you're like all right fuck man i might have to i might have to rent this place because the refrigerator like did you see that refrigerator it's a little thing in new york that can really can can uh reel you in so the next one i had here was mike greenberg so mike greenberg uh he's in his house he's got a couple books behind him they're the ones that mrs greenberg has white listed for him they don't contain sexual content so he's in his house.
He's got a couple books behind him. They're the ones that Mrs.
Greenberg has whitelisted for him. They don't contain sexual content, so he's allowed to read those ones.
The ones she hasn't burned yet for him. And then there's probably the biggest big J flex of all time over his left shoulder, which is the Northwestern Syracuse game ball in a game that he didn't play in, but it's called the pros ball.
P R O S E ball.

So it's a matchup between the biggest journalism schools in the country.

Um, and I guess Northwestern won that one by 30 points, but they're not credited

anymore as a journalistic institution.

They got their, their, uh, big J taken away, but green is prominently displaying

that one.

And he's got an Emmy.

I should actually look up.

What do you think Mike Greenberg won an Emmy for?

Probably get up.

Thank you. Green is prominently displaying that one.
And he's got an Emmy. I should actually look up.
What do you think Mike Greenberg won an Emmy for? Probably Get Up. No, he probably did some, like, journalistic, like, E60, Bob Lee-type journalism story.
Best ad read. No, his name is – Yeah, go ahead.
Mike Greenberg's name is Michael Darrow Greenberg.

His middle name is Darrow.

Darrow?

Like the media artist? D-A-R-R-O-W.

Oh, wow.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Okay.

And what do you want an Emmy for?

This is, by the way, for people who don't...

Just a little behind the scenes.

This entire segment was based off of Greeny's.

This is BFT.

It's like... I like how you're like, and next up, we have Greeny.
It's like, dude, that's what you wanted to talk about. I wanted to touch on Greeny real quick.
I've been looking at all these backgrounds this week. It's been a source of great entertainment for me.
I've been looking at them, and I'm kind of roasting them in my head, and then I realize mine is the most shit. Yeah, we all have shitty guys.
Oh, yeah. I mean, let's power rank ours.
Mine sucks. It's an empty wall.
Mine's a wall with a half of a window. You've got an empty wall? Yeah.
Yeah. I should just put one giant book behind me.
I read two guys. The only other one I had was Seth Wickersham has the guitar on the wall, which is a classic guitar guy move to be like, hey, guys, ask me if I play guitar.
Here it is. Yeah, actually, what Seth Wickersham has, it's a big time set up your man cave for the job you want, not the job that you have, because he's got a big Bruce Springsteen picture behind him.
And then his guitar that he has up there is a Bruce Springsteen model Telecaster. telecaster oh wow huge j move on his part to be paying homage to the boss yes hell yes peter king is lapping it up the other one that i had flagged here is mark to share i actually think he has the funniest setup for an at-home office because it's i looked close at it because i was like this is the most generic i used to be a baseball player setup of all time and once you zoom in i'm 99 sure it's a green screen and espn imagined what mark to share his home studio would look like if you had one yes yes because it looks like it's a a cubicle at espn so i think what they did they might even have have taken a picture of his cubicle at ESPN and then green screened it into his house.
No, no, no, no. I think that it's like a computer animation.
I don't think it's a real picture. I think that they set somebody down and they're, they were like, Hey, imagine if you were designing a grand theft auto side mission where you had to break into Alex Rodriguez's house and steal a centaur painting.
And then they just came up with that. Zoom in on it because I'm pretty sure.
Yeah, I know what you're saying. The baseball looks like it's fake.
Yeah, and they basically were like, all right, so what are his likes? Baseball? The Rangers? But not too many books. The Yankees? Yeah, that's about it.
ESPN. Yeah, put a camera up there just to make it seem like he's a world traveler.
All right. There's no underwear.
We know you like the free ball, Mark. Mm-hmm.
This is what quarantine does. We have to just sit there and look at other people's backgrounds and judge them.
And we're judging all of them. So just so you know, if you have a background, we're judging you.
Shannon Sharp also just has his dog with him a lot. Yeah, I like that, though.
I like that. You can't control your dog.
And he does it from his kitchen, which I actually think is a little subtle troll of Skip Bayless for not talking to his celebrity chef brother. So just getting in his head a little bit.
And his dick microwave. Exactly.
Yeah. He's like, can you see the microwave behind Shannon? That would be great.
Yeah, I think you can. Oh, no, that's the hood on his oven.
All right, let's do our hot seat cool throne. Before we do that, it's brought to you by Bud Light Seltzer.

Okay, Hank, what's your hot seat cool thrown?

I keep forgetting you're there because of your background.

That's you.

My hot seat is Kimye, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West.

I'm sure you guys were already all up to date on the drama.

Oh, yeah, big time.

Actually, to be honest, I kind of was catching up on everything

Thank you. Kim Kardashian, Kanye West.
I'm sure you guys were already all up to date on the drama. Oh, yeah, big time.
Actually, to be honest, I kind of was catching up on everything today. I still am not fully sure what's going on.
But they basically just got roasted for posting like Kim Kardashian three years ago, posted a video slandering Taylor Swift. Like all of their fans were roasting her.
And then apparently the real video came out. I guess someone that like hates Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were just like, fuck this.
I'm going to leak the real video. And then Kim Kardashian tried to defend it, looked like an idiot.
She's getting ratioed. She's getting roasted.
And tried to be like, it was insensitive of Taylor to bring this up during coronavirus. People just dragged her for basically everything she said.
Hank, what's really going the keeping up with kardashians is debuting at a new time new new day on thursdays that's episode one thursday and they put that tweet out today and i was like oh okay so it just happened to have drama that went viral and had everyone talking about it the kardashians know no shame if they do something it's clearly it's like a two you'll you'll find out what they're doing two moves later that's all it is wow yeah they release it themselves they even though they look bad they don't care think about it they have an entire like like enterprise built off of a sex tape so they yeah there is no shame though there is no they will go all the way to the lowest possible spot if they even look like you start shaming they don't care no i'm saying they they will look like assholes to go viral they don't care yeah i feel like i'm in dupe now hot seat me yeah well i baba brought up a good point which is you have to really fuck up to get ratioed on a tweet if you have 22 million or no, 64 million followers. Yeah.
And it was like she was doing crazy numbers. Yeah.
So she, I mean, it's not a bad spin zone to be like, hey, why is everybody mad at me? Shouldn't we all be mad at the old people for not killing themselves selectively? And, and then my cool throne is the cat cave Derby. Big cat.
I don't know if you were going to bring this up. Did I just steal that from you? No, no, you didn't.
It has been very electric day by day. Uh, you do it every single day from, from the cat cave.
Yeah. That's my cool throne.
It's, uh, today was a little bit of controversy because I turned up the electricity without telling anyone.

I probably should have let betters know,

but you know what?

My track, my rules.

And I also, I bought,

this is what Quarantine Brain's doing.

I bought an eight-track, eight-lane track,

and I also bought a Bugle.

Okay, that's nice.

Yeah.

Now, is there any particular horse

that's better than the others?

No, it's nice.

Yeah.

Now, is there any particular horse that's better than the others?

No, it's actually been Kenny the White Horse has been a little bit better, but Kenny has won four times.

All the other horses have won, though.

Have you named all the horses yet?

Three out of four I've named.

That's kind of messed up.

Well, the brown horse, it took a while. I was naming him slowly.
horse is actually gonna be named spiral ham breaking news wow wow kelly martin our friend kelly martin named the brown horse wow that's that's big of you did she do we get a big guest out of that out of that trade-off just talked her off the ledge so oh that's nice okay who was your cool throne hank that was my oh yeah that was your cool throw

what's yours pfts uh my hot seat is i'm gonna say dude perfect i'm putting dude perfect on the hot seat i don't know if you've seen them recently uh but they were showing off the gong that they have in their dude perfect uh warehouse that they do all their trick shots in on the first take and it says proudly made in Wuhan right on the big gong there.

So many people are asking, warehouse that they do all their trick shots in on the first take and and it says proudly made in

wuhan right on the big gong there so many people are asking is dude perfect responsible for all the stuff that's going on the world i didn't i would never say something like that but um there's been a lot of chatter uh heavy chatter that's been picked up on the internet wow seems fair Yeah, my other hot seat is excuses.

Just in general.

It was definitely Cody.

Yeah, Cody. Yeah.
Cody was like, I got this cheap gong, dude. It's no big deal.
Like sometime in, I would say probably late December, early January. Yeah.
Yeah. That's when they got it imported for sure.
We'll do two day shipping. Make sure that it's got everything on it.
My other hot seat is excuses. And I think you guys can relate to this, but as we're all sheltering in place, we have no excuses to not do anything.
And it's tough. If somebody just asks you to do something, you can't be like, no, I have plans or no, that doesn't work for me.
I've got other stuff to do. It's like, no, you have to say yes to most things.
Everyone knows. Everyone's all in the same boat.
And it stinks not having any excuses. My only excuse I could possibly make is like, oh, I'm taping part of my take or I have to take Leroy for a walk.
That's about it. Just tell me, PFT, just have a kid.
Kid is always the ultimate excuse. I can always just be like, yeah, he's napping.
Sorry. Or PFT, just say you're streaming, and it sounds like you're doing something, but you're really just playing video games.
Like, oh, I got to stream. It's just like I'm taking a piss.
I got to stream for a couple hours, yeah. I pee every two and a half hours, so that's getting into my bathroom schedule right now.
Tell people that you can see the recession coming and you're pinching pennies so you're paying by the minute on internet. Yeah, that's a good one.
I'm working on my charts, on my stock charts right now. So I'm going to time the bounce back really well on this one.
My other hot seat is the rest of the CAA. Actually, I don't even know if Liberty University is still in the CAA or not.
Liberty, I don't know where the fuck Liberty is. I think they might be independent.
They're FBS, but they are going back to school. And Hugh Freeze, who has a lot of experience coaching from a hospital bed, is getting ready to whip these boys into shape.
So I think that they might come out of the gate real strong next year are really, really, really bad. One of the two.
They're in the Atlantic sun conference. Okay.
Who could forget? Good. That's a real conference.
My cool throne is having sex with your roommates. So the city of New York slapped a hard no on ass eating season.
They said, don't eat ass. It's bad.
It's bad for you in these trying times. And if you're going to have sex with somebody, have it be someone that you live with right now.
So that way it's not like you're going out there and cross contaminating other people's roommates. So after about like a couple of weeks, just look at your roommate and shrug and be like, we have to do this for our own sanity and for safety, public health.
Yeah, it's a good point. It's a good point.
All right. My hot seat is doing nothing is on my hot seat because as I found this past weekend, doing nothing makes doing nothing not fun anymore.
It's killing doing nothing. Like doing nothing is what I live for.
I live for the weekends where I can sit and do absolutely nothing. But now that doing nothing is our job, doing nothing sucks.
So it's ruined doing nothing for me. Yeah, you're right.
Doing nothing is traditionally an escape from doing something. Right.
And if we don't have anything to escape from, then doing nothing becomes our doing something. Right.
And now doing something is our escape from doing nothing. Right.
Yes, exactly. So this past weekend, I did absolutely nothing, but it was no different than all my other weekends.
Like I don't do anything anyway, but it sucked because it was escape from doing nothing. That's tough.
Sucks, sucks. And then my cool throne is us, PFD, because if you had seen Jake Marsh reported earlier today that both of us have canceled our dog walks due to the CDC guidelines, but we are paying our dog walkers full salary.
We're not like the Sixers cutting 20% or some of these other organizations that have to be shamed into paying their employees. We paid our employees without any publicity whatsoever.
We just had our intern slash he's now a full-time worker tweeted out for us and then also blog it for us. We're also paying Jake Marsh a full-time rate in these times.
I actually don't know how Jake got that scoop, but he asked me for comment and I didn't want to comment on the record. I just retweeted every quote tweet about it.
But yeah, I mean, credit to us. I think we're doing the right thing.
We didn't have to be bullied by the internet into doing it. We elected to do this on our own.
In fact, my dog walker, I don't even have a regular full-time dog walker because I only use our dog walker when Leroy, like if I'm out of town or something like that, something comes up and I'm not able to let him out. But I'm just going to start Venmoing him every week, Venmoing him cash.
And he'll be like, why is PFT sending me cash right now? I'm sorry. I'm going to be cash apping him cash.
And he'll be like, why am I getting this cash? It'll just be a nice little bonus for him. Yeah.
I, my dog Walker email was like, just still need walks. And I was like, no, but you need money.
Here it is.

That's exactly how I phrased it. And then I said, why don't you tell me how awesome I am? And they're like, dude, like you're supposed to do this without praise.
And I was like, oh yeah, my bad. I'm sending my weed guy money.
Everyone gets money. Yeah.
I'm sending everyone money. Just, just out of the goodness of my heart.
I'm keeping the economy going by myself myself thank you big cat I'm tipping I tip everyone even though I don't go anywhere but in my mind if I went somewhere I would tip them extra that's huge it's huge all right let's get to our interview we have st. Louis Blues head coach Craig Berube on the show live in person we taped this before coronavirus swept.
So if we sound happier, that's why. It was actually a world where March Madness still existed.

Okay, here he is, St. Louis Blues head coach, Craig Berube.
Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. It is the head coach of the St.
Louis Blues, defending Stanley Cup champions, Craig Berube. Now, coach, can we call you coach? Yeah, sure.
All right, I feel like that's the way to go. Coach, I want to let you know before we start that you are allowed to swear on this podcast because I did some research and you like to swear.
Would that be a fair assessment? In the right situation. I don't mind it.
Let me give you a situation real quick. If a fan tapped on the glass and said, hey, coach, can I get a selfie with you in the middle of a game? Would you say no or would you say fuck no? To be honest, I wouldn't even look back.
There it is. I would ignore it.
Yeah, I found a clip of right before you guys took the ice for game seven of the Stanley Cup. Can I read you the quote that you had for the pump up for the boys? Can I read it to you? You can read it.
Okay, you said, pump it up here. We're here for a fucking reason because we're a fucking good hockey team and we're going to fucking come home with a cup here tonight.
Let's fucking go. I got pumped up just watching that.
A lot of F-bombs. Yeah, yeah.
Do you ever walk out after you give a pregame speech, you're like, shit, that was a lot of swearing by me. Whoops.
I don't even think about it before I even go in there, to be honest with you. It happens.
I come out and just feel it and talk to the team, whatever I feel is needed at the time. At that point, I didn't think there was really much to say.
We're in Game 7 of Stanley Cup Final. Let's go.
So they were ready. Yeah.
So the season, obviously, incredible season, ends with the Stanley Cup lifting the cup. But it starts with you taking over as interim head coach and you guys being the last place team as late as January 3rd.
How the heck did you guys turn that whole thing around? Was there a moment? We always talk about the beginning of a championship DVD. Was there that moment that you can think back and be like, that's where it all clicked for the team and we kind of turned everything around i would say mid-december um right around christmas time we went on a road trip out west played edmonton vancouver and calgary i believe and that was a great trip i thought we played excellent hockey um we didn't get as many wins as we wanted to if i think back maybe we won one out of out of three only but we're playing real solid hockey and the way we needed to play to win and to get on a roll.
And then Binnington came up. He was up with us already and we started him in that Philly game and he played really well and kind of like I thought that, you know, his next start, he won again.
So now the team started to really believe in what was going on, and it really boosted the confidence of the team. And we just rolled from there.
We had a lot of good players. There's a lot of good players in there.
And once we really started to come together as a team and play for each other on the ice, it doesn't matter what you do off the ice. You can be buddies with your teammates and do all this shit, but if you don't play on the ice, you won't win.
You won't go anywhere. And once that started to come, we rattled off 11 in a row.
I knew we were pretty good. What typically comes first, being really tight with your guys on the ice and then developing those friendships outside of the rink or being boys off the ice? Then you come in and you're able to kind of use that relationship that you have to be i think i think all the guys nowadays they they all know each other you know that's it's funny how the league is really formed the nhl players association has really tightened up these players like they all know each other they're all buddies so when you get a team they're already know half of know each other already so they're already tight off the ice yeah but you got to get that tightness on the ice and that team and and we really stress team first mindset with with our group and they really

you know took it and ran with it you know they're they they do a good job of that of staying in that

and as coaches we got to remind them and we got to keep harping on it and bringing it up but

that to me is the biggest thing yeah have you noticed like ryan whitney and paul bisnet these are two guys that should hate each other but you listen to their podcasts are all buddy buddy it's sickening it's gross like business he's not someone that should be anyone's friend all of a sudden he's like cuddling up with yeah it's gross true so going back to that so so what you're saying there when when the league has become guys know each other better, friendly with each other, when you were playing, I would assume it's very different. And I'm wondering how that played into you were an enforcer, 3,000 penalty minutes.
I think it was 241 fights. That position, the enforcer, has kind of gone away from today's NHL.
Is that part of the reason why, that guys know each other more and fighting is just not as prevalent? No, it's changed the way the game's played and how it's thought of, first of all. And, you know, I don't really – I mean, I think it's gotten better, to be honest with you.
I think Gary Bettman's done an excellent job of that, of turning this game – changing the game, I guess. You know, there's still fights in the game and things like that, but it's not as important as it was when I played.
So when I played, it was really important. It was a big part of the game.
You look at Gretzky, he's always had Dave Siminkle, Marty McSorley, wherever he went, he had somebody around him because you just needed that comfort and a guy to look after stuff in the locker room, on the ice, things like that.

That's not there anymore.

If there's a fight on the ice, it's just out of emotion.

Guys, you know, something happened and they get after it.

But when I played, you weren't buddies with the other teammates.

And if your coach saw you talking to a guy on the other team

or talking to a guy even before the game, they were pissed off. Really? And you they come up and tell you and say what are you doing like you know we don't need that you know so it was this different mindset back then it's in that all sports were like that yeah and then it's all all sports have changed you know they're just that's the way it is did you know when you were going into a game like all right this is the guy i'm gonna have to fight tonight no matter what like no matter what happens I'm gonna have pretty much like there was always you know when you were going into a game, like, all right, this is the guy I'm going to have to fight tonight? No matter what? Like, no matter what happens, I'm going to have to fight him.
Pretty much. Like, there was always, you know, every game I played, I loved it when there was nobody.
I actually could relax. Right, right.
Enjoy the game a little bit. But, you know, every team we played, there's always a couple guys, and you knew you were going to get into it with them for the most part.
Would you scout them? Would you be like, all right, this guy's got a deadly left, kind of stay away from him? The whole team did, basically.

All the guys would talk about it before the game.

Well, watch his left.

He's got a big right hand punch.

But you knew anyhow how he fought and what was going to happen.

I didn't really watch tape on it at all,

but I know there's guys that have done that.

Yeah.

Did you always like fighting?

I don't really know if I ever liked it that much.

I mean, I just did a lot of it.

I mean, even growing up, I did a lot of it. Like as a kid, you know, I grew up with 15, 20 cousins around me every day.
And you know what's going to happen? You're going to get in fights. And that's the way it was.
So I kind of grew up, you know, in that mindset. And, you know, as a player, I needed to do that to play in the NHL.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have played in the NHL. So I read a story that when you were 16, you won a tough man competition.
Now, was that your coach told you to do it? Or you just were like, hey, I want to fight in this tough man competition? No, it was pretty much him. I went to Williams Lake, BC, played junior hockey.
There was a 16-year-old. And after the season, he asked me what I was going to do.
I said, I'm going to go back home to my hometown with my family and stuff he goes well I got this so you think you're tough I'd like you to fight in it so I said okay because you know I just didn't you didn't say no or I I didn't anyhow and during the year I was doing a lot of boxing because he had he had us boxing a lot and working with guys you know fighters and things like that to learn how to handle yourself. And it was actually really good for me, anyhow.
And so how it worked, I said, well, who's going to train me? And he goes, I am. I said, oh, yeah? He says, yeah, you're going to come over every afternoon, 4 o'clock.
We're going to go down in the basement, and we're going to put the gloves on, and we're going to go at it for a while, and then my wife feed you dinner and you can go home. I'm not lying.
That's what we did and his two boys were watching there like young kids like seven years old or whatever and me and the guy's name was John Van Hortuck. We'd go in his basement, put the gloves on, no headgear, no mouthpieces, nothing and spar for an hour or so and I'd go up and have dinner and that was it.
That probably did lot for you though yeah oh no it definitely did he he's a big part of why i'm here today like our wide played in the nhl for sure he he groomed me as a young kid and and got me to you know become that kind of a player and that's how i was gonna play so we have a tough man type of uh league that we actually own and we have pay-per-views it's called rough and rowdy we no joke this week had someone drop out of a fight that was a hundred thousand dollar prize purse do you think you want to maybe pay-per-view get back in there i'm done with a hundred thousand i'll spar with you i'll spar with you in the basement we Well, get ready. You can kick my ass every day.
I'm too old now. What if it was against another coach? Ooh.
Like what would do in the age range or age bracket? We won't make you fight a 21-year-old. Who would you – do you think you're the toughest coach? I don't know.
If we had to say like every coach gets in a big fight and it's almost like Royal Rumble. We throw everyone in the ring.
Who survives? Oh, I'll probably come out of there. Yes, hell yeah.
I like that confidence. Barry Trott seems like he'd be tough to knock out just because he's got that volcano neck.
I like that confidence. I like that confidence a lot.
Do you ever, when you're coaching, because it's always funny, the NFL and Major League Baseball, the coaches don't have to wear suits. Do you ever think like, hey, why the hell do I have to wear a suit behind this bench? Yeah, we always talk about that.
But in the end, I think it's important to look good back there. I don't know about being in track suits or baseball is different.
And NFL is different too. It's just different.
I think hockey, a coach being in a suit back there, it looks good. Track suit would be awesome.
Track suit, yeah. If you had a nice velour gold chain maybe going.
Or you go casual, go t-shirt and some JNCOs. Think about it.
That'd be sweet too. Think about it.
John Tortorella wears a sweater and his suit now. Yes, that's true.
A nice high turtleneck. Yeah, he looks like he's going to a Christmas party.
Like a movie producer or something like that some warm them ranks are cold yeah uh you you mentioned gretzky a while ago i'm curious to know where you fall on the side of the debate of uh greatest goal scorer of all time is it the great one or is it the great with the number eight one well you know gretzky's for me he's the greatest um like what he's done, it's hard to knock that, but number eight in Walsh is, he's right up there for goal scoring. I'll tell you what.
In an era, to score as many goals as he does in this era of hockey and the goaltending is ridiculous. Like, this guy is an amazing player.
Really is. So you get the interim head coaching job you win the stanley cup you never get officially the head coaching job until after the season so when you sit down with the front office did you just laugh like was it just like a good hearty laugh like come on guys like no what's the negotiation here i just want a stanley cup i talked with our gm before that you know and it was all going to be worked out.
We just left it as it was, which was the right thing to do, I think, at the time. Yeah.
I mean, it's happened twice in hockey, and it's a hilarious idea that you – I mean, you coached the entire season, essentially, but you were still the interim head coach winning the Stanley Cup. Yeah, and I was fine with it, to be honest with you.
I wasn't really too worried about it or paid much attention to it at all. I really didn't.
If you guys go on a losing streak, will you go back? Like slap the interim back on? Let me earn it back? I guess you never know. I mean, was it a little bit of a concern that maybe you'll stop being as hungry now that you're no longer the interim head coach? Concerned by me? Yeah.
Not by me. Yeah.
I don't know if they thought that. Well, you did it too with the Flyers when you took over the Flyers and mid-season you guys had to bounce back.
Is there something about your coaching style that can get more? Because we talk about it all the time with football coaches. You'll get an interim head coach, and usually the team will have a nice bounce because they're fighting for their jobs and they want to play for this new guy.
Do you think that there's something in your style that brings that out of guys where they start maximizing their potential? There could be. I mean, I try to demand the most out of our players, like every individual and the team.
So I push. I mean, but, you know, being the head coach now, I don't really coach any differently than I did last year.
I feel like I bring the same kind of mindset this year. You obviously got to do things differently at times to change things up and stuff like that and motivate.
But for the most part, my style has not changed one bit. Yeah.
Now, it says that you're a very honest guy, a very honest coach, maybe sometimes a little too honest. Or at least the guys, they always know where they stand when you're talking.
Have you ever found that maybe sometimes you don't have to be as directly honest if it's a guy that can't handle that type of coaching? Are you just going to be who you are no matter what? Well, I mean, you've got to approach probably every player a little bit differently, but you can really get after some players that can handle it, but you've got to know which players can handle it. And if you see them start to well up you just say okay that's enough yeah I mean I read that you're you're considered a players coach and I'm I assume that's a compliment that you like like to know you know whenever someone says a players coach that means that the coach is just very in tune with their players yeah I mean I I try to I think I understand all the guys I try to have conversations with them on a daily basis and know what they're doing, not only in hockey, but in life and their families and things like that.
But at the same time, they know that I demand a lot from them, and this is how you've got to play, or you're probably they know they know what they they know what they need

to do and what's the mana to them but uh i'm very approachable i mean i want my players to come talk

to me about anything yeah one of the things i like the most about hockey is is the nicknames

that get handed out to players it's either in my experience it's usually like a stir like it's a

greg stir or like it's something with an o at the end like a gordo or something like that

is there a flow chart that you have to go to to decide who's a stir,

who's an O?

We just make them up.

Yeah?

What was yours when you were playing?

Chief.

Chief?

Never like Rubes or Berube?

I mean, you have a – it ends with a vowel so that you get –

Well, I had the nickname Chief when I was a young kid,

so like it's kind of always been my nickname. And that comes from First Nation, right, in Canada? Yeah, I have some.
So I'm very ignorant on the lineage there, but that's pretty cool, and I'm sure that's a lot of pride for you to have that heritage and be in the NHL. I grew up with a bunch of native reserves around where I live, playeded a lot of hockey and ball with all those guys growing up.
And as an adult, when I was older, hockey and ball. So I grew up with all those guys.
When you say ball, what? Fastball. Fast pitch.
Fast pitch. Baseball? Yeah.
Okay, got it. You're not on Twitter.
Is that for a specific reason? I don't have any social media. Do you hate social media? I don't know if I hate it.
I just don't deal with it. I don't have no time for it.
Sounds like you hate it. You've got to do the old coach thing like the snap face.
Yeah, I just don't need to do anything. I don't need to talk to anybody about that stuff or be on it or even socialize that way.
Yeah, there's really limited – Yeah, you hate it. There's a limited upside for a coach to be on social media, I would think.
Because no matter how good you're doing, you're going to have 90% of people out there talking shit about something that you did. So there's a lot of negativity.
No, I mean everybody's got their own opinion and I just – whatever. I don't need to hear it.
You just want to fight them them there's no way for you to fight somebody online you do all like all like all i care about is our team yeah that's it you don't care about going viral it's kind of cool though it's kind of cool no here's a good question uh what's the difference between a tough guy and a dirty player uh i would say like a dirty player somebody that you, you know, does things out there. So when I played, if somebody hits somebody from behind, he does it, you know, on a consistent basis, uses a stick a lot, you know, things like that.
That's considered a dirty player. A tough guy is somebody that probably, you know, if somebody wants to fight, answers the bell, steps in for in for his teammates you know handles all that kind of stuff that would be considered a tough guy i've always wondered from a coach's perspective how you handle a player on your own team that might be kind of pushing those boundaries or starting across those lines because you like a certain amount of aggression you want your guys to be tough you want your guys to play physically but like if he starts to cross the line how do you how do you deal with a player like that and kind of like try to draw him back without changing his playing style well we we really our team's not very penalized to be honest with you we're like one of the top uh least penalized teams in the league so and we play hard we're probably right up there with the most physical team in the league so uh we don't allow our guys to take penalties.
I mean, there's no reason to. There's no reason to, you know, hit people from behind or, you know, use your stick wrong.
You can play hard and be physical and be clean at the same time. So we really try to preach that part of the game.
I don't want to be in a penalty box very often. And our guys do a pretty good job.
You guys, part of winning the Cup, you know, you guys were a very physical team, very powerful team. The NHL has kind of gone back and forth, like, in terms of generations and how it ebbs and flows, even five years ago with teams being a little smaller, more skilled.
Do you think that, like, being this powerful, bigger team wears down on opponents? It can. I think it's whatever, you know, as an individual or a coach is how you look at the game and how you want to play the game.
The way I want to play the game, we need size and strength and being physical. Opposed to, like, you know, there's a lot of teams that have a lot of skill and they're fast and they're dangerous and they're good teams.
That doesn't mean they can't win that way. You can win both ways.
I mean, the St. Louis Blues choose to try to do it this way.
Like Washington Capitals, they're a big physical team and that's the way they play. It's interesting though, just watching it go back and forth.
I just remember one of my favorite quotes of all time was Ryan Getzlaff in the playoffs against the Hawks and he was like no team can sustain this amount of physical punishment and the Hawks were just better and they beat them and the Ducks and it was like yeah they can because they're better and it was like a lot of skilled guys that play a skilled game, less of the physical trying to check but But you guys have kind of pushed it back the other way, which I love when sports go back and forth between strategies. I think the Hawks, though, they beat us out in 2010 for the Cup, and I was with the Flyers then.
It was a good series, but I didn't think they were a small team at all. I thought they had good size.
They had some big players that played heavy. I the hawks won cups you know everybody looks at patrick kane and duncan keith who are on the smaller side and are great players uh but you know tase is a heavy player he's a big guy he plays heavy uh host is a big guy play heavy yeah they had a lot seabrook's a big guy plays heavy uh you know the bufflins and the lads all these guys they had they had a lot of heavy guys in their lineup i love that phrase play heavy like hey go out there and play heavy but they had some smaller guys with great skill and like patrick kane's a great player yeah can you take a skilled team that might be smaller faster and and turn them into a more physical team heavy heavy team i love just yeah you can't like let's play heavy tonight you can look at me and hank and liam you can have players that aren't overly physical and hit everything and say but they play heavy it's just winning puck battles that's what it boils down to using your body winning puck battles having heavy sticks that's what i mean by heavy hitting the rice bucket yeah Getting your forearms.
Is heaviest state of mind? Yes. Sounds like it.
It is. I mean, you look at the Detroit Red Wings team when they're good.
90s, like a little later in the 2000s, 2008, 2007, 2009, they were a heavy team, but they weren't very big, but they had heavy sticks and they won a lot of stick battles. That's all all they want yeah is there a guy in in today's game that younger you would have liked to go out there and fight like somebody right now yeah who i would like to fight yeah oh i don't know i don't really think about fighting boys do you ever think about like maybe if the if we could change the rules and like there's there's always there's always a guy on every, every game we play that I'd probably like to grab.
Yeah, right. Or how about a coach? I'm not going to say names.
What if we did like instead of overtime, coaches fight instead of ice? I'm not involved with the coaches at the end of the other team, really. Okay.
I don't really. Do you do the stare down, though? I love the stare down from hockey bench.
I don't even look over there. Or the yell back.
Have you had a moment where you've just been screaming at the other coach? No. I bet you I could find one.
You couldn't find one. Could I find one? I think you could probably find one.
I don't even look over there. Or like you're yelling over the glass.
It's like Twitter over there. You don't even look at that shit.
Yeah, you're getting spittle on Pierre. Yeah.
Yeah. Fuck that.
I'll wipe his head off after. You just look over and you see the other coach, and it's just a big Twitter logo, and you're like, it doesn't even exist in my life.
Just blinded, just see red. You mentioned earlier that there were some times that you'd be playing, and you'd usually know who you would have to fight that night, but sometimes there were teams where you could take a little break.
Was there ever a guy that came up to you and tried to start a fight with you, and you knew that you would just damage him so badly that you just had to laugh and say, hey, buddy, we can't do this for your own safety? That's a cool thing to say. I love that.
Like when a soccer guy does the... I've had to drop the gloves with a few guys because of a situation on the ice where everybody was kind of going at it back in the day called five-on-five line brawls.
And I've grabbed, you know know our guys grabbed me who's not a fighter and he's not very big and stuff and i didn't do nothing right you just look at him like come on man that could this is not fun it's like a fly buzzing i'm helping you yeah i like that that's a badass i'm off the hook yeah uh do you think you say the word in a given day the word fuck or the the word boys more? Boys. Boys.
Yeah. I mean, that's such a hockey one-on-one.
Like, everything's boys. Come on, boys.
Let's go, boys. Pick it up, boys.
But it's close. It is close.
Play heavier, boys. Come on.
What the fuck, boys? Yeah. I like that.
Boys. We have this ongoing debate on this podcast.
Where does an upper body injury start, and where does a lower body injury start? I would say an upper body is waist up. Waist up.
Lowers, waist down. What about hip? Let's call it in between.
In between. All right, so when they announced like someone's got a lower body, do you know what they have? Yeah.
Okay. Oh, on the other team? No, no, no.
On your team. You always know.
Yeah. I know.
Man, I was kind of hoping that the doctors just wouldn't tell, like the doctors played dumb and was like, it's a lower body. We're not telling you what it is.
No, the doctors don't talk to us. The trainers, our trainer, medical guy tells us exactly what it is.
I thought maybe just knew and the player was just like it hurts up here and like oh if that's upper yeah he's got a youper well do you ever get you ever get scared that you're gonna accidentally let it slip that it's like a knee when you're trying to say it's a lower body no you're you just say lower upper yeah that's it okay that's smart um i have one last question seek e question promo code take we're with craig berube he is the coach of the St. Louis Blues.

What do you bench?

Just randomly.

Just asking.

Just no reason.

What do you bench?

I could probably get about $275 up there. $275? Maybe.
Do we have a bench press close by? Oh, Big Cat, there's one right behind you. Oh, I didn't even see this.
Okay. Well, yeah, we could get 275 on this bar.
Let's fucking go, boys. Try to fucking put up some weight.
I'm not warmed up. 275 is good.
That's not bad. Very impressive very impressive.
I'm an older guy now. Do you ever do stuff like that just to show the boys on the team that you still got it? I go to the gym every day and work out in there.
What percentage of players on the team do you think you could bench press more than right now? Oh, I don't know. Probably not very many.
I'm sure there are a few. There are a few that can't play up.
These guys are in good shape. They work out a lot.
Bennington's got noodle arms. Well, the goalies maybe, yeah.
Goalies are a different breed, right? Yeah, they don't have to do too much. What do you do psychology-wise with a goalie? Do you leave them alone? Yeah, I leave them alone.
I love that about goalies. Goalie coach will talk to them.
Everyone, if you ever talk to anyone. I say hi to them.
I'm a bye, and that's about it. Seriously, if you ever talk to any hockey player, they're like, yeah, goalie's just different breed.
We just let them do their thing. I have one last question for you.
I'm not going to make you predict a back-to-back Stanley Cup for the St. Louis Blues.
I know you're thinking that you will win, but who do you think is coming out of the East? Oh, I don't know. There's a lot of good teams.
Look at the Flyers right now they're on a roll man they're right there they're playing some great hockey boston's obviously tampa there's too many good teams to pick wash you know thank you i just wanted to hear you say like there's a lot of good teams that it's tough you just want to get give yourself a chance you got to get in there and then anything can happen in this league you know everybody sees that it's all like that you know what i mean um playoffs are different you get on a roll and you keep going i mean you never know yeah so there's two there's so many good teams like it's tight it's close oh really is last last last question playoffs is there ever a time when you're in the playoffs and you see a guy and you're like, dude, like boy guy boy buddy pal maybe do a little shaving because your playoff beard is disgusting like the guy who really can't grow a playoff beard sydney yeah do you ever do that like hey tighten that up because it's making us all look bad or do you just let it go i don't really say nothing of what they do they want to have they want to have some facial hair or not it doesn't matter to me the anti-yankees that's what you are they can do whatever they want yeah i'm not i'm not concerned about that i'm just concerned about their play yeah that's probably smart yeah that's probably why you're a coach how you play on it yeah just play yeah you know whatever you're you're you know how you want to look, you know, your hair doesn't matter to me so much.

Just get out there and move your feet.

I worry about playing, how you're playing.

That's all that matters.

Move your feet.

That's right.

Play heavy. You say that all the time.

That's part of it.

Move your feet.

Skate.

Get out there and skate heavy.

Keep your stick on the ice.

That's a big one.

Get your stick on the ice.

Eddie O. always teaches that.

Good things happen when you keep the stick on the ice.

Hit the net.

Four check.

Shoot it. Cycle the puck.
Do you ever find yourself actually screaming shoot it during a power play like everybody else does you shoot shoot the puck come on shoot it like way outside i'll tell you a funny story so larry robinson you know the great defenseman he works for he works with our organization so when i took over as a coach last year he came in and we just wanted him around because, you know, taking things over. And he's done this.
He's taken over a team, the Devils, in term and they won a cup. He's the other one.
So he's a very smart guy and has a lot of great insight and things like that. Great guy.
So we brought him on the bench because we wanted him out there and just, you know, get things going helps and he's somebody's screaming on the bench shoot that's larry robinson he screamed shoot when we had the puck in our own end oh i love it that's a true fan we love to yell shoot that's what we do so do i i didn't have to yell it yes you have to you have to um all right well coach thank you so much this has been awesome i would say best of luck but i don't like the blues so that's a lot problem i'll just go out there and try to play as heavy as you can you got it thanks for having me on guys i appreciate it was awesome that interview with craig bruby was brought to you by me undies i'm wearing my me undies right now the best part about me undies is my underwear drawer is always full because i'm on that plan.

Okay. Let's get to some segments.
Quick show announcement as well. We have some, what are you going to say, Hank? What are you going to say, Hank? You go first.
I'll go off second. Well, I was going to say Billy football was back on Monday.
And good news is Billy football might be back once a week to do a little deep dive into different subjects that we give him. So get ready for that.
We're going to do some different quarantine stuff to keep everyone happy and excited and interested in the show. So we're going to have him once a week.
And we also are going to be releasing some of the Barstow Gold,

some of our better interviews, right?

So we're doing that for the people because it's quarantine time.

Everyone's locked in their home.

So we're going to do that so that the people can hopefully enjoy that.

What were you going to say, Hank?

Well, first, also on top of that, we're doing Tiger King on Friday. And we released Exotic Joe, Tiger King, LSU, and Cincinnati Bengals shirts.
They're sick. They're the best shirts we've ever made.
I'm confident in saying that. I am confident in saying they are the greatest shirts we have ever made.
I'm addicted to saying Exotic Joe. I can't stop saying it.
It's like one of those mental blocks in my head. I can't stop.

You want to go to Exotic Joe's stripper joint.

These shirts are so good that I'm going to buy them.

I can get them for free, but I feel guilty taking them.

So I'm going to pay money to get them instead.

And then my other question was, since we just did Berube

and with the NHL and NBA, if the seasons get canceled, are the Raptors and the Blues, what happens? They're defending champs still. Are they dynasties? Do they become dynasties? Yeah, they're two-time defenders.
It's weird. I don't know.
I don't feel comfortable with Canada having back-to-back NBA championships.

Yeah, it's weird. It is weird.
I don't think they would feel good about that either. Canada would probably give it back and say fair is fair.
They have to do it. Give it to the Bucs.
They have to do it. They have to figure out a way to do it.
Let's not give up hope. Let's not give up hope.
All right. So first up, we're going to do Mount Flushmore in a second, but we did promise to everyone that we were going to this summer get upset at the NFL 100 list because the NFL 100 list, if people remember, they released the list in December when we were balls deep in sports, balls deep in football.
We didn't have time to get upset about it, so we put it on our calendar. We said, we're going to get upset about this sometime in July.

Well, guess what?

Life has different plans because the coronavirus popped up and we have no sports. So we're going to get mad at it now.
So once a week, we're going to get mad at a different position group. This week, we're going to get mad at tight ends.
Now, the NFL 100 list that they came up with, they have five tight ends on it. Mike Ditka, Tony Gonzalez, Rob gronkowski john mackie kellen winslow senior and judging by how they've done these lists they always try to get at least two guys from like history basically like historical guys who their numbers clearly like tony gonzalez puts john mackie and mike dicka's numbers to shame but the is different.
So they kind of pick the guys who invented the position, so to speak. I actually, I don't know if I have any really gripes in it.
I tried to find a gripe. I think my gripe, I'm mad that I can't get mad.
No, I'll give you a gripe right off the bat. They just gave us a group of tight ends.
They didn't rank them. So I'm mad that you didn't have the balls NFL to list them numbers one through five in all time best tight ends in NFL history.
So I'm mad about that because it's kind of a cop out on their part. I'm also mad because I went to the website.
I was looking at their list and I'm mad that we're not going to get to see the NFL 100 logo anymore. That they're going to take that away from us.
So I'm pretty mad about that, I guess. I'm pretty mad about what I'm not going to get to see.
I don't mind what they're doing, putting some of the legends in the game. But in the spirit of getting mad, I feel like you should only have one player on this list who revolutionized the tight end position.
You don't have three different guys that – I would say give it to Kellen Winslow. Kellen Winslow is the guy that revolutionized the tight end.
John Mackey, I'm going to put him in the pile of, oh, he played against plumbers and doctors. Well, okay.
So if you put, like, Tyler Eifert on his team, then he probably would have had, you know, 2,500 receiving yards and 30 touchdowns in a year. So he's the one that I'm going to get mad at, and it's mostly because I just never watched him play.
Okay, so I'm going to end up at the same place as you, but I'm going a different route. I actually think Kellen Winslow should be on there, or you also think he is, but he didn't revolutionize tight ends.
I think Mike Dicca, I actually looked through it. Mike Dicca came on the scene two years before John Mackey.
Mike Dicca was the first tight end to ever have 1,000 yards receiving in a season. John Mackey never did that.
And Mike Dicca was also the first tight end to be voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. So I think if you want to do, like, who revolutionized the position, he's the guy.
Kellen Winslow was an incredible tight end in the next era. So I think John Mackey, if I had to pick, and again, I don't really have a gripe with this, but if I had to pick, I would take out John Mackey and I'd put in Antonio Gates.
Hey, that's what I had to. I don't mind having Ditka on the list either because I don't't look at dick as being the guy that revolutionized the position and that might just me be being an idiot but i look at dick as being like the guy that that did it all who's still very much a part of the game the guy that farts on national television the guy that's on me bone wore a cool vest the guy that smoked so many cigars in his office that they had to change the windows after he left.
And also, yeah, he was a badass tight end way back in the day. So I have no problem with Dick being on that list.
And they had Collinsworth called him a no brainer. And that's a big time pot calling the kettle black situation.
He farts on me too. He farted on me that time when he took my shirts.
Mike Dick in 1961 had 56 receptions and 1,076 yards. I mean, no tight end had ever done that.
And so John Mackey didn't even have 1,000 yards in his career in any single year. So I think he gets in as the revolutionary guy, and then you keep Kellen Winslow, and you maybe and you maybe add Antonio Gates but again I don't have a problem with it because I also was watching John Mackey highlights and he was a beast like he was ripping off 50-yard touchdowns which didn't happen back then either so I guess they did an okay job with the tight ends I think I think my actual gripe here is that they did a good job it it leaves me no place to get angry well yeah i'm sure mackie was good don't get me wrong i just never watched him so um he's the easiest one for me to take i watched today so i tony nice he's tony gonzalez i thought he's just too handsome to not put on this list well tony gonzalez also like a stunning guy tony gonzalez definitely uh is one of those guys that that had two things going against him one he came right before rob gronkowski the best tight end ever and two he never won a super bowl and that was kind of always a knock because he was the guy for the chiefs for so many years he was he was a pro bowler 14 out of 17 seasons that's insane.
That's insane. He was like – he put up insane stats basically every single year, and he just – I feel like the fact that Gronk came right after him and everyone was like, oh, my God, look at Gronk.
And also, you know, the tight end position changed a little with Jimmy Graham and Antonio Gates and Jason Witten. I feel like Tony Gonzalez doesn't get as much credit as he probably deserves.

I like you tossing Jason Witten into that equation.

Jason Witten's stats, dude, are actually pretty impressive.

When you actually look at all the tight ends,

I think he's second all-time in tight end yards.

Yeah, because he's had 720 yards receiving for 19 years.

But he's got 13,000 receiving yards.

And so instead of... Because he's had 720 yards receiving for 19 years.
But he's got 13,000 receiving yards and 72 touchdowns. So Antonio Gates has the most touchdowns as a tight end with 116.
But yeah, Jason Witten is right. He's a compiler.
He'd be right after that next list of Ozzie Newsome and Shannon Sharp and those guys, and then it would be Jason Witten. Disagree.
I have Jason. Now I'm mad.
Jason Witten is on my third or fourth tier of tight ends in the lower pantheon of all-time great tight ends. No, man.
He's better than that. You're thinking about Jason Witten Monday Night Football.
I'm not. I'm not thinking about it.
I've banished that from my brain. I did the eternal sunshine of a spotless mind procedure and had that portion of my brain removed, thank God.
But if you look at his stats, what is the season that he – how many yards receiving did he have in his best season? He is absolutely a compiler, but there's definitely something to be said for a guy who does it for that long and does it at that level. I think you can absolutely say like you can have the Gronks who have incredible careers and Gronk's not even a good example for this.
Like Terrell Davis, it would be a good example for it where he was unbelievable for like three or four years. Let's see, Jason Witten, I'm looking at it right now.
Jason Witten had four – he's had 4,000-yard-plus seasons. So he's at – One, two, three.
He's at four. And he's come pretty damn close.
He's had two other ones that were above 900. I think Jason Witten is – if you go Antonio Gates, Ozzie Newsome, Shannon Sharp, then Jason Witten is right below that.
Disagree. I'm going to throw a flag on that one.
That's fine.

Third tier? Embrace debate. He's in my

third tier. Solid third tier guy after

I'm looking at these stats, but still like most of the season

it's like 600, 700,

900, 700, 700, 600,

500, 900. He's second all

time in tight end

receptions, second all time

in tight end yards,

and fourth all time, or sorry, fifth all time in tight end receptions, second all-time in tight end yards, and fifth all-time in tight end touchdowns. It's pretty damn good.
Right. Yeah, he's certainly been doing it for a long time.
To put a recap on this, this was good sports debate. I feel alive again.
This is what it's there for. It's good to get us.
It's good to get mad about stuff. I got mad at Bill O'Brien the other day, and it was awesome.
It was awesome to be mad at somebody. Here's another fun little stat when I was looking through all this stuff.
It's incredible to think about how much bigger like Gronk and even Tony Gonzalez were than like a Mike Dicca. Mike Dicca was 6'3", 228 pounds.
So Mike Dicca was basically like my height and weight. And then Gronk is 6'2".
That's still pretty big. It's still pretty big.
It's still pretty big. But Gronk is 6'6", 270.
Like he is a monster of a man compared to Mike Dicko. I'm sure we can obviously do this throughout all of NFL.
But imagine if you put 6'6", 270 Gronk in like 1961. What he would do to the NFL.
He'd probably go to Woodstock and die. No, Mike Dicke would still be – like he would still – that's still very big, but he would be considered undersized for a tight end now.
Oh, for sure, yeah. Most people in the NFL right now would be like Darren Sproles would be an average height running back back in 1961.
I do also think it brought me back to the story that Gronk told us about when

he got the call from Roger Goodell and he thought it was a prank.

And so I remember he was just like,

hello.

Yes.

And he made Goodell call him back like three times.

I think when Dick got this call,

his wife probably took it and Dick was like,

who cares?

Just hung up on him.

Yes,

absolutely. Absolutely.
Yeah. He's like, Oh, this isn't, this isn't our, this isn't like the golf reservation.
Like, like call me when the local country club is back open. So, so Mike can get out of the house.
But I think Dick likes having, having stuff to not care about, like just being able to alpha stuff, people call him up and like paying him a compliment. He's like, I don't care.
This is not important. Because then if you get elected to the all-time NFL 100 team and you get to alpha that list, then you're just alpha-ing history, which is pretty cool.
Although I'm hoping Coach is quarantined somewhere far away because he's up there in age. All right, should we do our Mount Flush more before we do guys on chicks? We're going to do – Yeah, I'm very excited about this one.
By the way, we had – it was great results on Twitter. It really got everyone buzzing.
I got ratioed real hard. The part of my take Twitter got ratioed real hard.
It was almost great to, like, get ratioed and just be like – I didn't even look at it. I was just like, let it just happen.
It's fine. So we'll keep doing that.
We're going to do our, we're going to pick our worst four of something and then tweet it out. Like it's regular Mount Rushmore.
Hank had the idea for today. It's Mount flush more of worst types of water.
Right. Okay.
Well, someone, someone DM me, you should do like water brands, and I realize there's not enough water brands,

so we should just do water.

I like the broader ones.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So PFT is going first, right?

Yep.

Okay, so PFT goes first.

Yeah, because we were just going down the line of youngest to oldest.

Okay.

My first one, I'm going to go with

tidal waves.

Tidal waves.

Tidal waves, awful.

Awful water.

Imagine if you could surf one and say that you surfed a tidal wave.

Yeah, that'd be sick for one guy.

Yeah, but imagine that one guy.

I'm going to say overall, tidal waves, not a fan.

Yeah.

All right.

I'm going to go with... Some say tid, not a fan.
Yeah. All right.
I'm going to go with.

Some say tidal waves.

Some say party wave.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm going to go with toilet water,

but with some remnants of, like, the person who's been there before.

That type of toilet water, oh, my God.

The grossest.

The grossest type of water.

And that's the one nice thing about not being in the office right now.

You don't have to walk into a bathroom and be like, oh, man, okay.

Yeah.

Thank you. The grossest, the grossest type of water.
And that's the one nice thing about not being in the office right now. You don't have to walk into a bathroom and be like, Oh man.
Okay. Yeah.
I will go with a vodka. That's in a water bottle that you water.
Damn. I had that.
I had water that is actually vodka. Yep.
Yeah. That's actually, that's, that's how I had it written too, but Oh sure.
I'm sure you did. shout out marie's claret get your goose on get your goose on and then right underneath that i have hot faucet water oh yeah so like if you're going like you're already at the point where like i'm just gonna do tap water and then you turn it on it's like piping hot it's just it's just it's like not water it's disgusting yeah i agree with that hank there's a there's a big difference between hot faucet water and water that you boil in a pot on your stove yes absolutely um do you guys think that you could tell the difference between the water that comes out of your kitchen faucet and the water that comes out of your bathroom faucet no no in my in the house that i grew up in i think i could okay um yeah but no i think it's all probably the same um all right my next one i'm gonna go with uh like a little bit of water on your seat when you sit down that's the worst and you get that like feeling of like did i piss myself did i shit myself and then you and then you can't real quick if you get up everyone's like, look at that guy.
Look at the back of his fucking pants.

Or like when you sit on a cushion that has soaked up water like before and you didn't realize it. Or like if you're like, yeah, if you're sitting on like a lawn chair with a little bit of water on it and it just like it gets in your ass crack.

You're like, oh, that sucks.

Yeah.

If you sit down on like some metal bleachers at a football game and it's been raining maybe a couple hours before. That is an awful feeling.
Awful feeling. Awful feeling.
Hate that water. All right.
My next one, I'm going to go with hot dog. No, PFT's got two.
I got two. Oh, yeah.
Are we lost in the snake? I mean. What a great tradition.
I've got hot dog water the remnants of hot dog water that's disgusting that is the grossest thing that you've ever said in your entire life so delicious what drink it all oh my god big cat stop stop it right now that's like nutrients in it you did not You don't actually drink hot dog water. No, I don't actually drink hot dog water.
But I'm saying it's not the worst. That's the Chicago equivalent of juicing.
On a diet. Cleansing.
Next one is going to be icebergs. Hate icebergs.
Whatever they've ever done for anyone. We need them.
You need them, dude. you need them for the climate they're the nature of coolers no but that's fuller ice caps yeah but icebergs are part of that no they come off birds are just ice caps that's how they start of icebergs combine yeah yeah the ice icebergs are ice caps one day were ice caps they break icebergs they're just uh where do you think they come from killers ice icebergs satan they break off it's a sign of a bad climate they're terrible terrible yeah so then exactly so then you should hate icebergs too they should all be intact yeah they should stay attacked all right my next one i'm gonna go with my turn no shut up hank no damn it's it's Big catch.
Oh, yeah,. No damn it's big.
Oh yeah. I'm sorry.
I'm honestly, I'm looking at, I'm looking at the order that our videos and I'm getting fucked up. Yeah, we know.
Um, how about acid rain? I don't even know if that exists. I feel like that's a complete fake thing, but I think it would suck if we had acid rain.
Chernobyl. Agreed.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that sucks.
I've been hearing about acid rain since I was a little kid, so I'm sure it exists somewhere, and that would be awful to get caught in. It would suck so bad.
Hate that water. Now it's my turn.
Right? Yes. Yeah.
All right. Rain.
Rain? Yeah. And cardboard water is my last one.
Oh, that shit sucks. Like box water.
Box water, whatever it's called. Yeah.
That shit sucks. Disgusting.
Okay. But just rain.
Rain. I mean, who likes rain? This is kind of australians they had a party in a festival when it rained in australia this is so it was so depressing yesterday this was raining it was just like there i mean you can't even go outside anyway but it's like who likes rain who likes rain this is like going back to to the uh roasting of people skypes pft just wanted to talk about mikeberg.
I think you just picked this so you could talk about rain, to roast rain. Me? Yeah.
You could have just been like, dude, it sucked that it rained yesterday. If we could have skipped this whole thing.
No. That was third on my list.
I really racked my brain and then I was like, you know what water sucks? Rain. Okay.
Rain All right. My last one is water in your shoe.

That sucks so bad.

You get that little squish going, and you just got, like, wet socks for the rest of the day.

That's a day ruiner, big time.

You're just a water on your clothes-a-phobic.

Well, I mean, there's certain – I can deal with water on my shirt.

I can deal with water on my hair.

I can deal with water maybe even, like, on my kneecaps. But shoes and ass, no thank you.
Fair. My last one is going to be brackish water.
It's the mix of fresh water and salt water. So kind of a tweener.
Is that English? What's your deal, dude? Fish or fow foul. Yeah, no, yeah.
It's like pick a lane.

Yeah, it's not full salt water, Hank, but it's also not full fresh water.

It's a mix.

So it's just like, it's just shit water.

It's you going up to the Taco Bell and getting like Mountain Dew, Pepsi,

and going down the line.

Yes.

Actually, no.

I would say it's like you going to the drink fountain

and mixing regular Coke with

Diet Coke.

I can drink Diet Coke.

I do that on Mountain Dew and Baja Blast.

Lockwood's Delight.

Lockwood's Delight.

The only other one I had was the lead water

that brought down the Romans.

That probably sucked.

That's not good.

They invented aqueduct. That's not good.
I don't know about that. I would say –

They invented aqueducts, though.

Yeah.

Kind of a –

Very good.

There you go, Hank.

Eye for an eye situation.

True.

That's exactly right.

What about the water that's in the bathtubs at Hilton Hotels

when the maids don't forget to unplug it

and you have to stand in the shower for two seconds before unplugging it?

Brutal.

Peter King.

Waterloo. Yeah.
and lukewarm water at a water fountain after a workout that's maybe the worst water i can't believe i didn't pick that that's a really bad when you're like like if you're playing basketball and then you go try to take a drink and it's it's like almost borderline hot but lukewarm and it's just disgusting or that's bad hotel water in the shower that doesn't get hot enough yeah damn there's a lot of bad water out there yeah what about water at a hotel that you thought was free and then you start drinking it and you looked at it's not free at all it's actually 15 dollars charge it the company. They collected it off the rim of a volcano.
Five people had to die to bring you this water. Company water.
You think that's free, buddy? Man, you're fucking... You're all about death today, man.
We got to pick you up. I know.
What the fuck? That time you've been like, we're all going to die. Tommy Lasorda is still alive, though.
Yes, as far as we know, at the time of this recording, 9.33 p.m. Eastern Time.
Oh, man. It's like a, do you know how your friend's depressed? He keeps freaking up death.
What about water with like a Band-Aid in just a band-aid floating in it that's pretty bad water what about what about your last drink of water yeah that's that's a pretty bad one too that's a really backwash yeah yeah no like right before you die he's yeah oh no h, why'd you have to go there?

Sup, boys, especially Mr.

35.

I'm currently stuck quarantined with my cheating ex-girlfriend in our one-bedroom apartment that we share a lease on until July.

It's been bad, but the quarantine makes it significantly worse.

I wonder why.

Any advice on ways to make this suck any less?

Just some background.

Neither of us can afford to move out and have two separate places as we just graduated college last night fuck it out i think now's the time where you rediscover true love like we talked about on monday's show this this could be here's an actual it's meant to be for you guys yeah here's an actual thought though just and kind of fucked up but just start coughing and say you might have the rona she probably won't be there for very long and if she does then maybe yeah yeah maybe it was meant to be yeah the old saying there are no atheists and foxholes there's uh there's no one no one's not horny in a quarantine.

Yeah.

As Mark from Love is Blind's mom said,

if you let something go and it comes back, it was meant to be.

My friend had a wedding two weeks ago,

and then the groom bailed on the bride the morning of.

Had to call off the wedding of more than 200 people.

Now they are talking again and likely getting back together. What should I do? You did a good job.
You talked her through it real quick. This is one of those situations where everyone has at least one friend who loves the drama and loves to be in the crazy relationship and you just got to spot that friend and let them be let them do their thing they probably are going to get married divorce get married get divorced do like a renewing of their vows a billion times over just let it happen let it happen and let them have it fair enough uh all right last one so i'm gonna read this in an english accent because it's an english girl this should be good sup guys i'm in english with an american boyfriend parentheses awl who has been working in london we've been together about a year and when we both started to work from home a week ago and we went to my family home in the countryside.
In that week, all flights to USA have been canceled and yesterday the government banned us from leaving home unless essential. My boyfriend is quarantined for at least a month with my...
All right, fuck that. My boyfriend is quarantined for at least a month with my parents and younger sister.
He's only met them once or twice. How do I come out of this without him thinking my family are lunatics and vice versa? How do I stop him ordering expensive cheeses to give my parents as a thank you? How do I make it through the month in a small house with nobody knowing we have sex has the potential to be a great bonding experience or disaster.
I'm spending a small fortune on international tech. So please help me.
Oh, wow. So shout out to her.
All right. So right off the bat, the whole spending a lot of money on cheese, that's just a currency issue.
If you're in a foreign country, you don't understand how your currency translates to their dollar or their pound or their euro or whatever it is. So you just spend money like it doesn't mean anything.
So you just need to remind him that the money that he's spending is actually real. Otherwise he's just going to keep doing it.
And this is one of those ones where I feel like you just have to keep telling yourself this is the start of a great love story. Like you'll tell your grandkids about this when you're sitting on a porch.
And if that's not the case, you'll probably just break up. It will be messy and you can just move on, But we'll still be alive.
Tell your girlfriends about the time that you got to bang a circumcised guy for a month.

Mm-hmm.

It would be fun.

Uncircumcised.

No, if he's American, probably circumcised.

Oh, he's American, she's British?

Yes.

Oh, I didn't follow that part.

Yeah, there you go. So you your weekend away from the anteaters all right that's it great all right uh we'll see everyone friday make sure that you watch tiger king tiger king tiger king we're gonna try to get someone on hank are you gonna you can hit up doc yeah you are oh yeah.

LeVar Ball? Yeah, hell yeah. It's an old throwback style interview.
We did it via Skype. So it was hectic to say the least.
It was fun. Yeah, I don't think we asked one real question, which is exactly what you'd expect for a LeVar Ball interview because I don't think he would ever answer a real question.
No, he looks at that as a sign of weakness. Oh, you want to talk to me? All right, We'll see everyone Friday.
