On today's part of my take, we've got a twofer for the people, Manny Pacquiao.
We went and interviewed him at his hotel in Los Angeles.
We did a little karaoke.
We did it in front of about 70 people in his crew.
It was intimidating, but fun.
We also have our good friend Paul Bissonet, Biz Nasty, on to talk about the Stanley Cup final, a little hockey talk for the people and other stuff.
As always with Biz Nasty, but more importantly, we have the debut of one of our three or one of our two on-camera interns this summer.
We're about to take over an entire journalism
niche.
Niche.
Niche.
Yeah, we're about to take it by storm.
So we have the debut of him, and you're going to want to follow him.
And he's about to get everyone a whole lot smarter all summer long.
Hot seat, cool throne, guys on chicks, a packed Wednesday show for everyone.
I used to think that sandwiches were just, you know, basic until I realized how easy it is to level them way up.
It's all about starting with the best ingredients.
Lately, I've been obsessed with this sandwich.
Boar's head ever roast chicken, a little smoked gouda, arugula, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze on toasted ciabata.
Just a few simple swaps, and suddenly it feels like something that I'd order at a fancy cafe.
And that's why I always go for Boarshead.
The quality, the craftsmanship, the fresh premium flavors that turn an everyday sandwich into something next level.
So if you're tired of the same old lunch, try upgrading with Boarshead.
Head to the deli counter, grab your favorites, and see just how easy it is to make every bite amazing.
Discover the craftsmanship behind every bite at your local Boarshead deli counter.
Okay, let's go!
Now, in the street, there is violence.
And then I love some work to be done.
No place behind a low-washing.
And then I can't blame all on the sun.
Oh, no, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue.
And then we'll take it higher.
Oh, we're gonna rock down to electric.

Today is Wednesday, June 5th, and Kevin Durant is out for game three.
That's a real shame.
I have a theory about him.
Okay, lay it on me.
Let's go.
Calf implants.
Oh.
This would be a perfect time for Kevin Durant to get calf implants.
He just comes out there.
The total package just needs.
Looking like Ronnie Coleman.
Ronnie Coleman.
Real ones know Ronnie Coleman.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ain't nothing but a peanut.
Looking like
Baby Bro is Big Bro.
Yep.
Looking like that guy from True Life.
You remember that guy?
He was my favorite True Life where he was like
implants.
Well, basically, he was like, I'm the full package.
I just need calf implants.
He was like a meat hole.
I remember that.
Yeah.
That was great.
He couldn't get his legs up.
He was like, I can bench a thousand pounds.
I got these huge biceps, but my legs are skinny as fuck.
Couldn't be me.
Yeah, that sucks.
So, Kevin Durant's out for game three.
I feel like this update is going to just be the update every single game.
Kevin Durant's out for game four.
Kevin Durant's out for game five.
Yeah.
Until they get to game seven, he comes back and saves the Warriors and wins MVP.
Willis Reed moment.
Willis Reed moment for Kevin Durant.
That's what he's hoping for.
I don't think that he's going to play.
I think he's lost the whole series.
I'm starting to agree with you.
Cavs are funny things.
Yes.
They're very tender sometimes.
Wow.
Hey, PFT, Rick Riley joke.
Another Cavs to take down the Warriors.
That's good.
Yeah.
That's really good.
That's good, right?
That was like 2.3.
2.3 boobs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
People don't forget 2016.
Kevin Love doesn't forget.
He can't keep his Cavs together.
What is he?
Sorority Girl?
That's pretty good.
That's really good.
So, yeah, so we have Kevin Durant now for game three.
We're going to talk about some Stanley Cup final with Biz Nasty.
I wanted to quickly, before we get to our new intern, talk to you about Kawhi Leonard, the weirdest man in the world.
So this is, I love when you get to a certain state in the playoffs where guys are now, like, journalists are trying to dig under every rock, find out the true Kawhi.
Let's figure out what Kawhi is all about.
Let's figure out if Kawhi has a personality, dive into the code.
Yeah, turns out he doesn't.
This is the point of the NBA Finals where, like,
maybe Michelle Tafoya, probably not Michelle Tafoya, but someone else is going to maybe
Doris Burke or what's his name
on E60.
Tom Rinaldi.
Jeremy Schapp.
He's going to do a story about your upbringing or something that you went through that was, you know, gets everyone crying and like, man, I can't believe it.
I'm rooting for this guy.
So they're trying this with Kawhi, and a story came out talking about Kawhi's trash talk.
Kawhi is the weirdest guy in the world, which we already knew, but this confirms it.
So I'm going to read this to you.
Did you see this?
I did.
Okay, so.
I'm going to act like I haven't read it.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, give me that.
Oh, man.
Okay.
Really eager to hear about Kawhi.
Okay, fuck.
All right.
You pretend too.
Okay.
Okay.
Heck, are you really excited to hear this for the first time, like me?
Pumped.
Well, maybe there's people who are probably listening to this who have not seen it.
So they talked about Kawhi's trash talk.
They interviewed some guys he played with.
And it starts with: the most he talked was on the hardcore.
And Kawhi was not afraid to let you know what you weren't or that you weren't going to score on him, that you couldn't get past him, or that he would score on you.
Every time the ball went through the net, he just said, bucket.
Bucket.
That was it.
Then we have most people say it like oh i'm about to get buckets on you he was just like bucket layup just one word and then he's like the nba jam announcer yeah pretty much and then he'd be like boom shakalaka he'd be like you're not scoring you're not doing anything or he'd be like no no no he'd just move his feet away and say no and you couldn't score on him so that's why he would say nope nope nope and when he would score on you bucket bucket so he'd literally just walking around saying one word not trash talking just saying nope no bucket he'd be the easiest soundboard ever to recreate.
You remember like the Arnold Schwarzenegger one?
Yeah.
Yeah, just have Kawhi just, nope, nope, nope.
This is a genius way to trash talk.
You left out my favorite.
Well, I'm getting to it.
Yeah, yeah, because it gets better.
We're at the nope, no, bucket part of his trash talk.
You know what?
It's great to keep it this simple because if you're playing against really dumb players, it gets through to them.
Right.
You're not going to lose anybody.
Yeah, this would get under your skin because it's so simple.
So the best part is when he gets rebounds.
If he was grabbing a rebound, he'd say, give me that, or boardman, or boardman gets paid.
That's my favorite.
Boardman gets paid.
If I heard it once, I heard it 50 times.
Boardman.
I'm a boardman.
That's what he said.
Absolutely.
I'm a boardman.
Yeah, I'm a boardman.
Boardman gets paid.
He spoke in phrases like that.
Boardman gets paid.
That was the corporate philosophy of Enron.
I'm a boardman.
Yeah, there you go.
Boardman.
I grabbed the rebound.
I'm a board man.
I love Kawhi.
Well, Kawhi wouldn't sing it.
You know what?
Yeah, that's a good point.
Maybe auto-tune.
Somebody needs to auto-tune Kawhi.
Give him a little spice.
But I love Kawhi.
I hope he never changes.
I hope he doesn't try.
I hope nobody ever gets in his ear and is like, hey, Kawhi, man, we could really take this to the next level if you just kind of like came out of your shell a little bit.
No, I don't want that.
That's what his uncle wants to do.
I don't want it.
They left San Antonio.
They want Kawhi's real personality to shine through.
I don't.
This is his personality, and it's shining through to me.
Boardman gets paid.
Somewhere Ben Wallace is sitting there chiseled, like, yep, Boardman does get get paid.
He's probably pissed off he didn't come up with it.
Boardman gets paid.
One more thing about the NBA I wanted to touch on.
Yes.
There's a big ratings battle going on these days.
Have you seen this?
Yeah.
So NBA ratings are down for the finals compared to last year.
People are saying, well, it's because LeBron James isn't in it.
I guess everybody really wanted to see the Cavs against the Warriors for the millionth year in a row.
Yeah.
But it turns out that they're not counting Canada, which is a problem.
So these are the U.S.
ratings.
And it's a problem because Canadian households should actually count for a more valuable viewer because they're more engaged number one they're all watching in outdoor squares yep so you have to figure every TV that's tuned in has at least like three or four hundred people watching it but in Canada if you're a Canadian going to watch an outdoor square you definitely leave your TV on just for ratings you know just to be polite yeah to be polite and to be accurate yeah and so that you have I would have been watching on this TV well leave it on okay that's a that's a fair counterpoint but I'll also say that Canadian viewers are more attentive than American viewers so products actually the the product placement should sell for higher in Canada.
Right.
Because in Canada, they're so used to only taking two bathroom breaks during a sporting event for hockey that that's their condition.
So, they watch more of the commercials.
Secondly, they're so intrigued by all these cool, innovative products we have down here in America that they haven't seen yet.
So, they pay more attention to the commercials for
health insurance companies and bulletproof backpacks.
Yeah, and let's see, Uber.
Do they have Uber?
Aber.
Aber, yeah.
It's just your cousin's name.
Exactly.
Who picks you up?
No, it's just your neighbor.
When he's driving down the street, you're like, hey, can I, hey, Aber, you need a ride?
Hey, hey, there, friendly neighbor.
Can I?
I only had six butt drives today.
Oh, you're practically stone sober.
Can I guess who's leading this ratings?
Yeah, but we'll bleep him out.
Okay.
It is.
And you know what?
My favorite part about it?
We'll bleep it out, but
it was an NFL ratings
truther.
And now that the NFL is back, he's like jumped from one rock to another, being like, the NBA is dying, the NFL is king.
It's like, but dude, wasn't it two years ago that the NFL was kicking ass?
So I don't understand.
People who chase ratings might be the worst people on the internet.
Better or worse than the guy that chases stock prices.
It's their
neck and neck.
They are the same.
It's one big circle on a Venn diagram.
They don't even care about the sport.
They just care about the next morning, how many people watch, and how can I spin this to fit my exact narrative that I'm trying to throw out there?
Well, you know what?
It's exactly like analyzing sports, except you're just taking it one step further.
So you're like, oh, the NBA is not clutch.
They lack the clutch gene because nobody watches during the finals.
You go to that extent where I think a lot of sports media now, ourselves included, we're probably king of this mountain, is treating sports media like as much of a sport as sports is.
It's the fifth sport.
So I'm keeping, I'm by no means saying that I'm not a part of that issue.
But it is ratings people, they are so like knee-jerk in the moment that if even if they're even the Canada thing, like if you're like, hey, what about Canada?
Like, well,
let me get back to you.
And then they'll just spin it a different way.
Yeah.
Or they'll look at NFL week one and be like, NFL's dying week one.
Like, oh man, nothing happened, you know, no one's watching anymore.
Yeah.
And then the next day, like, it just goes, it's so stupid.
They all have a preconceived notion, and then they just pick apart the ratings that will fit exactly what they're wanting to do, not the other way around.
It's actually pretty awesome.
It's a sweet way way to make a bus.
It is.
I got to be honest with you.
Speaking of
biz and ratings, we have a very special guest to introduce.
Yeah, so
we figured hiring our interns, right?
We have two interns that are going to be on camera.
And a mystery intern.
And a mystery intern that's going to be off-camera.
Yeah, but if you just call him Mystery, it's
way cooler.
Remember
Mystery?
Was it
Mystery the Pickup Artist?
Yeah, yeah.
That guy rocked.
Alpha.
So he was like, I'm going to be just Chris Angel, but for picking up chicks.
I'm going to be a less talented version of Chris Angel, who's more concerned with appearing to get laid.
Wear a bunch of mascara, really throw the chicks off.
I'm going to make my virginity disappear.
Fuck, that guy ruled mystery.
Very cool.
So, yeah, we figured there.
Top 10 soul patch of all time.
Ooh.
Great soul patch.
Him and the guy from Smash Mouth.
And every 90s reliever.
Yeah, that's true.
Pretty much just throw them all into it.
The golden era of the soul patch.
So we figured there was a huge hole in a certain market, and that market is sports business reporting.
So we have hired a Big J journalist, and he is going to do the PMT Sports Biz Minute once a week, and also do some other things that we'll explain after this.
But let's do it, right?
Let's do it.
Kick it over to PMT intern Jake for the Sports Biz Minute.
Good morning.
This is Jake Marsh with a PMT Sports Biz Minute.
Spoiler alert, the legend James Holzhauer's epic run is unfortunately over.
His total raw winnings, $2,464,216, but the government is set to collect about $1.2 million worth in taxes, equivalent to 240,734 bottles of Hoi Feng Fu Sriracha's hot chili sauce.
Although he lives in Vegas, Holzhauer is subject to California state taxes because the show takes place there.
Contestants usually have to wait about four months to get their check, but James got his this week so he can take some pictures with it.
Meanwhile, the MLB draft's opening round is in the books and not to be a party pooper, but only 5.6% of high school baseball players ultimately play at the collegiate level.
But of that select numbers, the odds of playing professionally doubles, about 11%.
Even for the first rounders taken last night in the Secaucus, only 66% of them will end up in the majors.
Meanwhile, according to a lawsuit made by Raptor star Kawhi Leonard, the forward is attempting to reclaim control over a logo he says he created in 2011 after being drafted.
Several years later, as part of an endorsement deal with Nike, Leonard allowed the company to use the logo on certain merchandise.
Now, without Leonard's consent, he says Nike filed for the copyright of his logo and falsely represented in the application that Nike authored the logo.
Since then, Leonard became a shoe-free agent before signing with the New Balance earlier this season.
And while we're on the topic, Toronto Sports Radio host Michael Landsberg says the aforementioned Kawhi Leonard purchased a property north of the border.
His report was corroborated by his guest, David Thorpe, of TrueHoop.com.
Earlier this year, the LA Times reported that Kawhi purchased a $13.3 million Tuscan-style estate in a San Diego County community.
Now, there are no current details on the Toronto purchase right now, but the California home sits on five acres and features a dry bar, home theater, gourmet kitchen, wine vault, vault, sheesh, seven bedrooms, ten and a half bathrooms, and a multi-section pool.
And finally, Apparel Juggernaut Fanatics announced it reached an agreement to acquire the bulk of Steiner Sports, which is mostly known for its memorabilia.
This deal includes Steiner's name, inventory, and some intellectual property, but not the athlete contract, Steph Curry, Aaron Rodgers, just to name a few.
It later expanded into memorabilia, selling autographed items and was sold to Omnicom for $25 million in 2000, but Brandon Steiner remained in charge.
They made agreements with the Yankees, Red Sox, Cowboys, Notre Dame, Syracuse, and many more of Drake's favorite teams to be the exclusive distributor of game-used items.
That's your PMT Sports Biz Minute, this time clocking in at 2 minutes and 34 seconds or approximately 11 and a half patinos.
Mr.
Kat, Mr.
Commenter, back to you.
That's great.
Thank you, right.
Jake Marsh, Capital Jake Journalist.
Our new intern, and he is here.
Unbelievable Sports Minute.
Thank you.
You are going to be our intern all summer.
You are a big J.
You just graduated from Syracuse Journalism School.
From the New House School at Syracuse last year.
Did you see what he did right now?
Yeah,
he added New House.
The New House.
Yeah, like, oh, it's not Medill, it's the New House.
Now, would you say that that is the preeminent journalism school in the nation?
I'd say that it has shown, it has a good history of being very successful for big J's around the country, not just in sports,
everywhere.
Okay, everywhere.
Point of order.
Your journalism school at Newhouse, that is accredited, correct?
Yes.
Okay.
All right, interesting.
I wanted to make sure about that.
Interesting.
So, Jake, you're going to be doing our business reporting all summer long.
You can follow him at PMT SportsBiz, B-I-Z.
What should the people, because we want to crowdsource this a little bit.
So the people can send you tips.
They can send you links.
If you have a pop-up party or something in the city, he will go attend it.
Any kind of new product.
Yeah, if your brand is trying to market something new and you're doing like a guerrilla-style marketing thing in New York, please let us know.
Just with us.

It's going to be fun.
You got to follow because you got a lot of nuggets that are already out there.
You want to give us one of those nuggets that you tweeted?
Yeah, we'll go to one of them.
Okay.
Let me pull it up for a second.
Yeah, sure.
Actually, obviously, of course, the beer chugging among NFL quarterbacks, I believe you guys talked about it on Montalai.
We've got a little rankings in terms of unofficial times between five of the main quarterbacks who participated.
So up top, Tom Brady, 2.71 seconds.
I like how you just went into your fucking, your journalism voice.
That was great.
You just like slipped right into it, but keep going.
Sorry.
So Brady's 2.71, although I did put an asterisk next to it
with Colbert because he left a little bit.
He didn't fully film it.
So actually, he finished it in infinity time because it's still sitting out there.
Yes.
Well, no, probably evaporation.
Couple days.
Yeah, well, that's a lot like Brady to not leave a full vessel of air at the end.
Okay.
Yep.
So right behind him, I clocked in Matthew Stafford at 3.61.
And Stafford actually had a pretty large glass to the restaurant.
Maybe a 16.
I think it was a little bit bigger.
I think the glass that was deceiving, it was one of those small glasses at the bottom.
So, yeah.
Okay, keep going.
Fair enough.
Middle of the pack, your boy, Big Cat, Mitch Trubisky, 4.05.
Okay, not bad.
That's enough to win.
Yeah.
And then below him, Patrick Mahomes, 5.27, though people were saying a little conspiracy because it was in a can.
You don't know how much
truly
delicious.
That's right.
Dead last.
DNF did not finish.
Aaron Rodgers.
Court side of the bar.
Great.
I like this guy already.

I will confirm that I will not be spoiling one of those storied runs in TV game show histories for millions of people.
Because Jeopardy James already lost.
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
Gotcha.
I did say the spoiler alert in the
spoiler alert.
And
when the lady that beats him, when she loses, you will not spoil that.
You forgot a name, PFT.
Yeah, I forgot her name.
You will not spoil Emma's loss of course not okay do not spoil loss all right let's let's do hot seat cool thrown Hank why don't you start us off my hot seat is humanity okay that sounds bad yeah so science good old science came out with a report today and it said that it's highly likely that human civilization will end in 2050.
I saw that.
What am I going to do with my Oregon, Georgia home and home tickets?
That's only like 31 more Super Bowls.
It's actually like, I was thinking doing the mental math.
It's actually great because it's like, you don't have to plan to have kids because it's like, oh, thanks.
they're going to be.
Whoa, yeah.
For you, I guess for you, it's not great.
But you still got, I mean, you still got some time.
Yeah.
I mean, we are fucked.
I'm saying I personally, like, you know, that'd be like a long way down the road.
I don't even have to worry about it.
I can just live it up till I'm 55.
Is it a long way?
Think about it this way, big cat.
Sure.
Yeah.
Your son would be just old enough to begin his career as a podcaster.
That's true.
He'd be just
young enough to get canceled for all the stupid things he tweeted when he was 15.
His podcast would be young enough where it was still good.
Yes, yes.
So, I mean, we are fucked.
Yeah.
We are a
staunchly we are fucked podcast because we are fucked.
Now, that being said, we are pro-humanity.
Yes.
We're fucked.
We're upset because we love humanity so much and we're going to lose it.
We want to fuck humanity.
Recycle.
All of humanity.
Sorry, reduce.
If we get the consent for it.
Reuse.
Stop burning styrofoam cups so much.
Yeah.
They'll figure it out, though, right?
Somebody smarter than us will figure it out.
I always thought, here was the dumb thing I thought when I was growing up, that I thought that they would eventually just figure out a way to spray a new ozone layer into the air.
Turns out that was aerosol cans, and that actually hurts.
It actually did the opposite.
It did the opposite.
But for a while there, that was a good idea by me.
You know what?
All my eggs are now in the Elon Musk basket.
Let's go, Elon Musk.
Get us to Mars, baby.
You got this.
And then my cool throne is the Glenny Balls burger review scale.
So after about a week and a half after it was supposed to come out, the Zach Efron burger video came out on his YouTube channel.
Whoa, what was that shot at Zach Efron?
That was not a video.
No, it's more just for we said on this podcast, like, go check it out on Wednesday.
Oh, we've never said something that we didn't deliver.
I'm just saying, that wasn't a shot at Zach.
That was just saying, like,
we got featured words out of Big Cat's mouth where it's coming out.
We got featured on Zach Efron's YouTube channel, and Hank's upset that it was a coming out of it.
No, I'm not upset at all.
That was just a fact.
We said it was coming out on Wednesday.
I said it was five days later.
So it's out.
It's out.
Now that it's out, how weird was it to be shoving a burger down Zach Efron's throat after meeting him five minutes prior?
It was very weird, but he smelled great, so that kind of helps it out a little bit.
Whole thing.
I mean, rich people just smell better.
They look better, they smell better, they do, you know, they have everything that's better.
You know what?
One thing I noticed when we were out in LA, because we did go into Zach's place, we went into Blake Griffin's place.
No big deal.
We went to Jerry Goff's place.
We saw Dr.
Phil's house.
One thing I noticed from those experiences, rich people don't have locks on their bathroom.
Oh.
Because you don't have to have a lock.
It's like, oh, you walked in on me shitting?
I don't care.
I can buy and sell you.
Yeah, you want to get empowering.
They probably, that's the last thrill that they get is when people walk in while they're taking a dump.
Right.
That's when they actually feel like a normal person.
Yeah.
Like
one of us poors.
They're like, oh, shit, someone walked in on me.
I crap into this big hole in my living room to keep me grounded.
That's actually what Zuckerberg does, to have experiences.
Because, you know, like killing all of the food that he eats and moving to China for a year at a time isn't enough for him anymore.
So he just hires people to walk in on him taking shits.
My other cool throne was Anthony Davis trade rumors.
Go on.
They're just get ready for him.
Oh, okay.
They're coming.
Yeah.
Okay.
Brace yourself.
All right.
I'll let Leroy.
Verbal means
Jon Snow.
Ned Stark.
Brace yourself.
Oh, he has Ned Stark.
Shit.
What's the difference?
One's John and one's.
One Stark's his uncle.
His name's Eddard.
Okay.
Yeah.
Ned.
I got confused when Hank called my hairstyle the Ned Stark instead of the Jon Snow.
Well, it actually is the Ned Stark.
Edard.
Edard.
Okay, I don't think that's his name's Edard.
I've completely put that entire show out of my brain.
How many Edards do you think?
I'm ready for it to be filled with certain dumb shit.
How many kids do you think got named Edard?
Not a lot.
Like, and then they just, like, when they're, like, eight, everyone's like, yo, why isn't your name Edward, dude?
It's like, well, you see, there was a show that everyone was with.
No, but it wasn't, no, but people weren't obsessed in the first season.
Yeah, but you go back and you're like, yeah, Edard is the true king.
People that get lost.
People that start watching the show after season three, like you did, they go back, they watch the rest of them, then they get so obsessed, they fall in love.
Yeah.
They name their kid after them.
Edard.
Speaking Speaking of HBO series, Chernobyl's done.
Yeah.
I haven't seen the finale series.
Okay, don't spoil.
It was all a dream.
Okay.
God damn it.
That would have sucked if it really happened.
Would have.
PFT, what do you got for a hot seat, cool throw?
My hot seat is Schrödinger's cat.
Yeah.
Because scientists have figured out a way to isolate quantum jumps and physics, which would theoretically allow them to intervene to save the life of Schrödinger's cat before it reached the stage of being simultaneously alive and dead at the same time.
Well, we're good.
My humanity
is wiped out.
Well, cats,
my cool throne is Schrödinger's cat.
So because of this, scientists have killed the thought experiment of Schrödinger's cat in the first place, which is a long-standing idea that things can be alive and dead at the same time.
So in conclusion, Schrödinger's cat is both on the hot seat and the cool throne.
Oh, wow.
That was deep.
Yeah.
Damn.
Did you get that?
Did you follow that?
Okay.
All right.
My hot seats are the Atlanta Braves.
I've never really fully understand the Schrödinger's thing.
I just know you guys say it before a a lot of things.
So when you ring a bell for your cat when it's about to eat dinner, then it starts to salivate when it just hears the sound of the bell.
You can train them to basically their mouth waters every time they just hear it.
Catch rule.
Yeah.
Yeah, catch it.
Catch it.
Catch rule.
Gross.
Oh, man.
Hank, are you upset that you didn't get a cat ever?
A little bit.
I would be.
Good.
You could.
You could do the bet again.
Duke's year.
No.
Come on.
Oh, by the way, I've had this idea.
I think it was in the middle of the night.
I was having a fever dream or something.
We need to have a big board where we write down exactly what our current bets are so there's no confusion.
So it's not a bet until it's written down on the board.
On the big board, yeah.
That way, we can't, we don't have to do anything.
We just say off the cuff.
You have to then go actually physically go write it down.
Yep.
So starting with Christian Yelich and his ass eating, that doesn't count.
That doesn't count.
No.
Nope.
That doesn't count.
It's not on the board.
It's not on the board.
Do you see it on the board, Hank?
I don't see a board.
Oh, wow.
Hank point.
I can't believe he agreed to that.
Because I feel like you would have.
Yeah, wow, Hank.
Yeah, you would have wanted to.
Hank just let us out of the bet.
Thanks.
I didn't.
The board did.
Yeah.
Okay.
We're boardmen.
Boardmen get paid.
All right.
So, hot seat Atlanta Braves, because
Dallas Keichel is rumored to go to the Braves or the Yankees, but the Yankees are now a frontrunner because Dallas Keicel has agreed to shave his beard if he's a New York Yankee.
That seems a little bit thirsty, doesn't it, for him to just put that out there?
No, I think you just have to do it.
If you want your pinstripes, you've got to shave that beard.
I don't know, man.
That's the rule.
It's the dumbest rule in all of sports.
What happens if he signed?
I would love to see Scott Boris right now.
Like, if he finds out that Keichel already gave away the beard in the negotiation for free.
Yep.
Like, Boris was licking his chops at throwing that in in exchange for something else.
Like, an extra year of guaranteed me.
Yeah, like, oh, shit.
You took that off.
God damn it, Dallas.
Yeah, that's another variable I can't negotiate now.
Keep your mouth shut.
Peep.
My cool throne is elder millennials, like PFT and myself, because there's a
SpongeBob prequel coming out.
Ooh.
So we're getting in on the SpongeBob game.
Yeah, so we actually will understand this.
We're going to start watching it technically before everybody else does.
Yes, the only problem is it's CG.
So it's like that weird, you know, when you see like the animated porn on certain sites.
Why is that weird?
It is weird.
It's going to be weird to see him like fucking 3D and shit.
Yeah.
Are you going to watch that, Hank?
No.
Okay.
The Lion King looks weird, too.
Like, that looks bad.
It is.
It's too much.
Like, what?
Like, cartoons, anything can be a cartoon, and it's believable because it's a cartoon.
Yeah.
But if it's like, oh, these these lot these lions look real life and they're talking.
It's like...
It's really just...
Why are we making cartoons more real life?
That's just scary.
Yeah.
I agree.
It's becoming like a deep fake almost.
Right.
I don't like that.
You're right.
You're right.
You talked me out of it.
Yeah, I'm out.
I'm out on that.
Although I do like the porn animations that they play before the videos.
Dude, there's been so many recently.
Not that I would know, but there's been so many recently.
What's up with them trying to make porn into games?
Yeah, that's it.
Click this game, this porn game.
And also, sometimes it's a good thing.
My hands are kind of busy right now.
The physics of it, like, the animated porn dude, he's got a dick that's like 50 miles long.
Yeah, I don't want another version of it.
That chick is like 70 pounds.
Like, what is going on out here?
I don't want to have to do another version of fucking that I'm bad at.
Right, come on.
That I could fail at.
Get that out of here.
Go back to the days where it's just someone being like, hey, I live down the street from you.
Yeah, hit me up.
Horny singles in your area.
I don't know about you.
There are always tons of horny singles in my area.
Hey, everybody, it's Vibs, and this is my PSA to remind you that golf season is officially here.
Whether you end up in the fairway or in the woods, fire up your round this spring with the official shot of golf: Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey.
Slip a couple minis in your bag for you and the boys so that no matter how you hit them, you're still having a killer day out on the course.
Ignite the fairways with Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey.
And now, Mandy Pacquiao.
Okay, we now welcome on boxing legend, senator, basketball player, everything, Manny Pacquiao.
Manny, thank you for joining us.
We appreciate it.
I wanted to start by talking about your foundation really quickly.
So, when we were waiting for you to come in here, we were talking to some of your staff, and they were saying you're doing some great stuff building homes.
Can you explain it to our listeners?
Oh, yeah.
I have a Manny Pacquiao Foundation, and we give shelter to the poor in education.
We help poor people
back to the Philippines and not only in the Philippines, but all over the world, as long as we can
help.
So you build houses, I read, right?
Houses, yeah.
We build houses and give it free to the poor people.
Oh, that's great.
That's great.
I was saying earlier before we started taping, you have a lot of friends here.
I think there are maybe 45 people or so in the room with you.
What does everybody do here?
Huh?
Who are your friends?
Can you name them all?
Awesome.
Team Pacquiao.
Can you name everyone?
Team Pacquiao?
What is everyone's friends?
That's a good thing to have in life.
Yeah.
Everyone cheers so they know how many people are here.
There's a lot of people here.
A lot of people here.
Do you roll with this many people all the time?
Do you have this many people all the time with you?
More.
Oh, more.
More?
Jesus.
Times three.
Times three.
Okay.
All right.
So you have a fight coming up July 20th.
You're fighting Keith Thurmond.
He recently said that he's going to make you retire.
So
one, what do you have to say to that?
And two, how much longer are you going to fight?
It's easy to say before the fight a lot of
useless words, plastic like that.
But
this is not the first time that I heard my opponent saying that like that.
But
it's different when we get to the ring.
It will change in the ring.
So all I can say is
I want
him to eat those words.
That's what he says.
Eat them.
Yes.
I like that.
Normally, you're a pretty quiet guy before the fight.
You don't do a lot of trash talk.
You don't really get inside their head that much, but it seems like with this fight, you're taking it a little bit more personally.
Is that fair to say?
Yeah, I'm so
thankful to my opponent saying that because it gives him more
motivation
to focus and to work hard to make sure that
100% condition is.
So, how much longer do you think you are going to fight?
How many more years?
I can still fight a couple years.
I have no problem.
I'm so thankful to God because he gave me this favor, good health,
protected me from all harms.
This is a blessing from God.
Yeah, how do you feel physically?
Physically, thank God for I'm good.
I'm fine.
I don't feel like 40 years old.
It's just a number.
I worked out.
I did a boxing workout for the first time yesterday.
I'm really, really sore right now, and I couldn't fight.
I can imagine after all these years that you're still feeling like
that.
Especially after the fight.
Yes.
Yeah.
I fought for 30-second round, one 30-second round.
That was good for me.
That was done.
That was good stamina, right?
Yeah.
They say everybody has a plan until you get punched in the face.
Is that true?
Like, once you get punched in the face, your plan changes for the fight.
Like, when you're playing with Freddie, yeah.
This is the
boxing.
If
you don't have strength or power,
your opponent will not respect you in the ring.
I've neither.
But if you have power and strength,
then it will change a lot.
Yeah.
Are you ever going to fight Mayweather again?
Oh, that's a question
for him if he will come back.
So
you are challenging him.
You challenge him to a fight?
If he will come back, and why not?
I mean,
after this fight, we can talk about that.
If he going back to
came up from retirement.
Okay.
We need to sell fights.
You've got to say, I challenge Floyd Mayweather, and then we'll get it going.
We'll get it all in the cycle.
We'll get everyone going about it.
25% cuts, him and I.
Yeah, yeah.
I heard a couple yeses when I asked the question.
You just got to say, I challenge Floyd Mayweather Jr.
or Floyd Mayweather Sr.
Who cares?
Fight them both.
Yeah, why not?
Yeah, both.
In a basketball game, maybe.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I like that.
So you brought up basketball just there.
You're a professional basketball player.
Yeah.
You got picked in the first round, 11th.
Did you pick yourself because you own the team?
No?
Yes, maybe a little bit.
So who's your favorite NBA player?
Stephen Gary Durant.
Okay.
Like both of them.
Nice.
Who do you think is the leader of that team?
Both of them.
And Thompson also.
Yeah.
What about
who do you think is the goat, LeBron or MJ?
MJ, Michael Durant.
Okay, good.
Good answer.
That was the interview was about to end if you said LeBron.
Carol's going to get angry.
Yeah, yeah.
So you don't want to see me angry.
I was about to get angry if you said LeBron.
MJ is the right answer.
MJ is.
Yeah.
Easy.
Come on.
We don't even have to talk about it.
But we can if we want to.
Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Are you a LeBron fan at all?
No.
No.
I'm Michael Jordan.
Yes.
All the way.
Love it.
I read that
you do morning runs here with up to 50.
Michael Jordan is
a leadership.
Yes.
You know, that's the most important thing.
As a player, as an athlete, you have a leadership.
Especially in boxing, I have leadership.
Yeah, so why don't you throw it in a box?
There you go.
I mean, in a basketball game, if you're a superstar in the team,
you have to lead your team.
That's interesting because you have a lot of people in your camp on Team Pacquiao.
And so do you find yourself that, like, as a fighter, you're leading that team?
Yeah, I mean,
they're scared, but I'm the one who
encouraged them.
Yeah.
Hey, do you still have the
I don't want to say fat, but the little bit larger guy who lived in the
yeah, who lived in the closet, remember?
for 24-7?
Yeah, do you still have him?
Where is he?
He's um, he's a vice mayor now.
Oh, what is he?
Yeah, vice mayor.
What is vice mayor?
Vice mayor.
Oh, okay, nice.
That's a come-up for him.
He was living, he was sleeping in a room with no, with no windows, and everyone's like, Look at this fat guy,
and now he's a vice mayor.
Yeah, nice, good for him.
Well, if you, when you see him next, tell him I say congrats.
Yeah, yeah,
that's used,
yeah.
Do you still do those morning runs?
Yeah.
Go for runs, and you have like 500 people that sometimes run with you?
Is that true?
Sometimes.
Does anybody ever try to beat you or they just let you take the lead the whole time?
I have
marathon running with me.
Marathon runner
run with me.
Yeah.
Keeps the pace up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's, I mean, so how what's the longest you run?
How many kilometers or miles?
We don't count the kilometers, we count the minutes.
Oh, so how long?
How many minutes?
Sometimes 40 minutes, 50 minutes.
That's got to be tough.
That's a really long time.
How old were you when you got in your first fight?
Professional or amateur?
No, just like in life.
Schoolyard.
I was
like 10 years old.
Did you win?
What?
Did you win?
I fighted two guys.
Yeah?
Did you beat them up?
Two boys and one only.
Oh, okay.
So you can just pretend you won.
No one's going to fact-check.
You won.
Yeah, you won.
Yeah, good job.
Congrats on that one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
When was the last time you were ever afraid of somebody?
I don't afraid of somebody.
Never.
Only I pray to God.
So that's another call out to Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Calling you out.
Not afraid, Floyd or Sr.
What do we have to do?
What do we have to do to get on Team Pacquiao?
Do we have to do it?
Can we be on Team Pacquiao?
Can we get like a jacket?
You have to eat balut and durian.
What is that?
Oh no, we got some groans from the audience.
Jesus.
I've eaten.
With the with
what do we call this?
Raw duck.
Raw duck.
Yeah.
Oh, born duck.
Duck food number three.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cheese and stuff.
You can't do that in Georgia.
And then what's the pay?
What do you pay me?
You know, durian?
Yeah.
Yeah, I've had durian before.
Yeah, it smells very steaky.
You like it?
Yeah, no.
No.
No, no.
But
I would eat it if I could get a nice silk or satin jacket.
Yeah.
So I'm in.
Well, how much do I get paid?
How much do I get paid?
Or just the jacket?
That's how you become a team pakeo.
Okay, 25%, right, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
As we agreed earlier.
Per our agreement.
I'm in for it.
I'm in for it.
All right.
We had some karaoke.
You want to do some karaoke with us?
Yeah.
Karaoke, what's that?
You know, yeah,
you know, karaoke.
We got two songs.
You want to do it with us?
I'm actually a singer myself.
What song is that?
Well, one you know very well.
I think the second one you know as well, too.
We're going to start with Sometimes When We Touch.
You want to do that?
You're giving me a hard time, man.
No, come on.
We got this.
Let's start.
I actually don't know how this goes.
No, no, yeah.
We need you.
You start.
Okay, I'll start.
Okay.
You ask me if I love you
and I choke on my reply.
Let me slid you with a lie.
Yes.
And who am I to judge you?
What do you see or do?
I only just beginning
to see the real
you.
yes
sometimes when we touch
the honesty's too much
I have to close my eyes and hide
you till I die
till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till fear fear me subsidence.
You got this?
You got this next one?
Yes.
Okay, I knew, I knew you did.
Once in all
strategy,
this is batting with my pride.
But through the insecurity,
some tenderness survives.
You're killing it now.
I'm just another runner,
still drop within my tooth
I hate you tonight by spider
Still drop within my you
Sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
And till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear we need subsides I like to break you
and drive you to your knees
At times I like to break through
and hold you endlessly
it, Manny.
There you go.
At times, I understand
you,
and I know how hard you try.
I watched a love command,
and I watched that pass you by.
At times, I think we're lifters,
still searching for a friend,
a brother or a sister,
but in the passion flares again.
Sometimes when we touch,
the honesty is too much.
And I have to close my eyes and hide.
I wanna hold you till I die.
When we both break down and cry,
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
I didn't know you were doing that
Beautiful
Lucy's the obvious choice for a true nicotine pouch connoisseurs that's why they're official nicotine pouch partner at Barstool Sports they go up to 12 milligrams in strength and have unique shape that feels great
We all use the breakers.
They're the only pouches with a hydration capsule inside.
They're a totally new kind of pouch, only available from Lucy.
You pop it it in your mouth, break it with your teeth, and it's instantly hydrated, releasing that nicotine faster, and it's a burst of flavor.
No other pouch has that.
I promise you that.
Gas station pouches get the job done, but once you've tried Lucy, you won't want anything else in your pocket.
Okay, here he is.
Biz Nasty.
And now for something completely different.
Okay, we now welcome on our very good friend.
It is Paul Bissinette, Biz Nasty, the man.
We're talking to him about the Stanley Cup final.
Biz,
I want to start with something that I think you could probably speak to, and that is Dano Char getting his chiclets knocked out, spitting chiclets.
That's Biz's podcast.
That's a little segue there.
His chiclets knocked out in game four,
and not being able to come back on the ice.
Now, can you, you've obviously had your chiclets knocked out.
Can you tell a story about it and how, like, what type of pain is that, and what is he dealing with right now?
I mean, surprisingly, when I got mine knocked out, it wasn't that painful.
It happened against L.A.
when I was playing with the Phoenix Coyotes.
It was at home, and he just, he gave gave me a cheap shot and he ended up getting a two-minute penalty and I ended up pulling out my tooth because he loosened it to the point where I could just go in my mouth and take it out.
And typically when you get high on a guy and you draw blood, it's a four-minute liner.
So I didn't even care about my tooth.
I just wanted to draw four minutes for my team.
So the ref gave me two and I would go up to the ref and I'm bleeding and I have my tooth in my hand.
I'm like, I'm like, that should be four.
And he just didn't want to hear it.
Because, you know, sometimes refs are stubborn and they don't want to be told what the call is.
So I go back to the bench and I showed my coach and my coach just fucking lost it.
And sure enough, they didn't end up changing it.
But I ended up losing my tooth.
And right now I have a bridge in my mouth.
But transitioning to Zedin Ochara,
I kept playing.
So he ended up getting a puck in the mouth.
And Jadino Chara is a tough individual and he's been through a lot.
I'm going to speculate that it's something far greater than just his teeth.
And I would assume it's a broken jaw, because if it was just his teeth, you would have came back to that game in the third period.
And that was their second loss of the series, and both losses have come when they've lost the defenseman in the midst of the game.
Grizzlick went down with that hit from Sundquist from behind, and then, of course, the Dano in last night's game.
But very cool room, and that just shows the type of leader he is.
Like, I don't know if you've seen some of these off-lice clips of him talking.
Like, he's just like the ultimate team guy.
All he cares about is hockey.
He's so professional.
And he went back in the third period and just nanned the gate and the defensive door.
And every time there was a teasy timeout, he would just go by and give guys knuckles and say, you know, we got this.
Keep, you know, keep working.
So very cool.
Just great leadership by Zerdano Chara.
You got your jaw broken, too.
So what's that like?
Can you not play with a
broken jaw?
I've never broken my jaw.
I don't know if you're trying to transition into some sick joke of yours.
No, no, I thought you broke your jaw.
We just knew you had a glass jaw.
I was watching you fight.
Yeah, I assume you've broken everything.
No, yeah, I never broke my jaw.
That was one thing, knock on wood.
I broke my nose like probably 10 to 12.
Yeah, we can tell.
Yeah, we know.
We've looked at you.
We know.
Okay.
Yeah, to best up nose.
We're not saying anything that's not true.
It's just like that's a matter of fact.
Which is bad.
That's not true because you said I was the first one ever diagnosed with cauliflower nose.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
I actually, after I broke my nose it was five times, I had to get surgery on it because I couldn't even breathe out of my one nostril.
and i ended up getting surgery i was off for like two weeks this is in the off season and and i would say six months after getting surgery when the season started back up i've broken it again so i've i've broken it a good i would say 12 to 15 times i still can't breathe out of that nostril that i couldn't breathe out of before when i went in to get uh nose surgery i think the i think the the surgery itself which is standard was supposed to take around an hour and 15 minutes but it took it took close to two hours because when he broke it in order to set it back in place, it had just like like the bone had just shattered and there was all these fragments of bone everywhere.
So he had to go and clean it all up.
He said it was one of the worst ones you'd ever seen.
So I'll take that to the bank and wear it like a badge of honor.
So you were actually knocked out under when they were doing your nose surgery, right?
Yeah,
I was under.
I wasn't because the doctor knew that I was tough enough to handle the pain.
of doing having the reduction while I was awake.
But, you know, I played rugby, not hockey, so I was, you know, a little bit more.
You got to remember, like, I've, I've, I've, like, I've set my own broken nose back in place with my fingers while I've been out, while I've been awake.
The procedure was to help with my septum, which was completely fucked and still is.
So I don't know if you're trying to fucking pat yourself on the back.
No, just, again, stating facts.
But we can always rough and outie.
If you want to get tough with me, I'll take that chubby rugby ass right to the fucking cleaners.
Let's go.
Okay.
Well, are we doing it on ice or on grass?
Because you don't know how to fight on grass.
You need those skates.
That's your little crutch.
We don't need to do it on ice.
Let's do it in a ring at Rough and Rowdy.
I'll have Big Cat sing the anthem for us, and that'll be the last thing you remember, bro.
I'll sing O Canada for you, Biz.
Okay, so how about this?
If I last longer than 30 seconds against you in Rough and Rowdy, that's a win for me.
Because you're way above my weight class.
Hey, buddy, I haven't fought in a long time, so you could actually probably get me with that low center of gravity.
If it was MMA, I could probably take you down.
Yeah, just double-leg your ass.
Um, jumping back real quick to Zidaneo Chara, and uh, I remember a couple years ago, Logan Gator, he took a puck to the face, right?
And he, I think he came back and he played.
Now, if Chara, if he is going to try to come back and play in the rest of the series, what does he do in between games as far as like how do you stay healthy?
How do you get enough energy to play in a hockey game if you can't eat anything?
Yeah, well, that's one of the main problems, right?
And then with how cardiovascular
playing professional ice hockey is and
how intense it is,
I would imagine that he probably can't practice very heavy if, in fact, it is a broken jaw and he wants to play because you got to store all those all those calories and whatever it is.
He's a very healthy guy, like very regimented diet.
So I would imagine that he's going to go over it today and talk to the trainers if it is, in fact, a broken jaw and figure out
what it is he can take down for shakes and stuff in order to have enough energy to even
even play close to what he was playing.
He used to play 30 minutes.
He's down to about 20 now.
But I mean paying 20 minutes with a broken jaw and another thing too is how much can you open your mouth in order to get oxygen in because you can't just do it straight nose if you're playing a sport with horsey.
So you got to become a bit like about a bit like Big Cat and become a mouth breather.
Okay, that was pretty good.
Clean shot.
I wanted to talk about game three.
Obviously, the Blues came back in game 4-1.
That was on Monday night.
But game three, they get run out of
the barn, so to speak.
Bennington gets pulled.
What happens when your team has a goalie that has such a bad night that he gets pulled?
And do you guys talk to him after?
What is that like when a goalie puts a performance like that out on the ice?
I mean, usually after the game,
if I kind of ran into him in the water and saw him, you just go over and say, hey, buddy, don't worry about that one.
That's on us.
Because, you know, the team didn't necessarily play that well either.
So it was kind of a stinked job by everyone.
And he's done so much for their team since January, where
he's a huge piece on why they've been able to turn that thing around and where they are.
So you just got to quickly put it behind you.
Some of the best teams and best players are ones that have very short memories.
I was the type of guy where if I made a mistake, you know, because I wouldn't play much.
And And usually if I did make a mistake, I probably would be out of a lineup for the next couple games, or at least the next one for sure.
So I would sit there all night thinking about it, and I would stress about it.
Even the next day at the rink, you know, I'm walking on eggshells where he's probably mentally tough enough or he spent enough time in the minors and he's kind of just enjoying the moment where you just put it behind him.
And, you know, he had a good bounce back performance.
I wouldn't say he had to do a ton of work in game four.
I think he had 23 shots on that.
He ended up giving up two goals.
But
I still think that Bennington has to steal one game this series where he stands on his head.
And I said that in yesterday's podcast that dropped this morning, that I have a feeling that he's going to go into Boston and steal a game.
That was just my inkling.
That was my hot take, and I think that he can do it.
Nothing much is going to be said to him.
I think that he's mentally tough enough to put that one behind him.
What about him taking a dive?
He took a little dive at the end of
game four.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, he kind of exaggerated
the hook by Marshaw, but for those of you who are wondering how he's going to respond, I mean, you can just go look to his numbers in games following loss.
Yeah.
And they're just outrageous.
I think he's only lost one back-to-back game since becoming a starter in January.
So
he might not even have one.
So you'd have to, I believe it is only one, but I might even be wrong.
I tried to explain that to Hank because he he said the series was over, and I said the blues coming off a loss have been very, very good in the way they bounce back.
And you read all the articles, and it's like the team just has that resolve that they're able to kind of weather a storm where 7-2, first Stanley Cup final game in however many years, 49 years at home.
Do you think that that
adds a little something, like the pressure that the Blues might be feeling because the city is so like crazed for a championship and the team has never won a cup in franchise history?
No, I think they're just kind of living in the moment.
I don't really think that
that's factoring in where it's added pressure.
I think a lot of these guys, I think the pressure is coming in from internally because the Blues core group, I mean, outside of Petro Angelo and, of course, Bennington, that he's 25 and he's made his debut in January.
A lot of these guys know that...
these chances don't come very often and that this might be their last kick at the tan.
So, I mean, two wins away from winning it all or the chance of you never getting to hoist that Stanley Cup.
And there's a lot of good players in that St.
Louis locker room, and they've had a lot of good teams over the last eight to ten years where finally they've been able to get over the hump and get to the finals.
My assumption is that they're going to get the dub done.
I picked Blues in six.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
I like that.
Do you lend any credence to my theory that in the playoffs, you'd rather get your ass kicked, like get smoked six to nothing, than lose a four to three game in overtime because the close loss is so much more demoralizing because you think that you've got it whereas with like a six nothing loss you just say fuck it after you're down four nothing and you know who really cares we'll turn the page on this one I completely agree I said that on the podcast as well it's like almost nice especially in game one it was all Boston and it was it was a slaughtering even though the score was still close St.
Louis wasn't even on the same ice surface as them and then of course followed up with the overtime win when they completely outplayed Boston so it's kind of been that way every other game.
And, you know, for the obvious reason that the series is tied.
And I completely agree because when you lose, let's say, an overtime game, it's a little demoralizing as opposed to when you get slaughtered.
I mean, I think the slaughter fest at home the other night when they lost 7-2, the game is basically over in the second intermission.
So you're just thinking, hey, let's get back to our good habits in the third period here.
Hit the reset button and come back out after game four.
I got a question for you guys.
Yeah, go for it.
You guys got to interview Zach Efron.
Like, that guy's like
Mr.
Worldwide.
Man Rocket.
Man Rocket.
Yeah, big time.
You must just crush pussy like
you guys get to talk to him a little bit on the
outside of the interview about his.
Yeah, he gave us all the tips.
All the tips were like,
do the exact opposite with your bodies of what you're currently doing.
Yeah, he was like fine.
Hey, if you guys really want to get out there, you should star in a hit movie when you're like 18 years old and then be an A-lister and make millions and then guess what?
It's pretty easy.
Well then he said also what you guys need to do to get your bodies in shape is work out twice a day and go vegan or plant-based.
Surf and never go on the internet.
It's everything that we don't do.
Yeah.
And be born hot and with good genetics.
Yes, correct.
That's too.
Well, I was born hot with good.
We were all born hot.
It's called Original Sin.
Yeah.
Another question.
Did I see the Ted Bundy movie that he does?
Yeah, I did watch that.
Did you like it?
I want to get your guys' opinion
I thought it was good.
I liked it.
You know what?
I think I did myself a service by watching it after Zach had already explained it to me because a lot of people were pissed off that it made Ted Bundy look like he was a normal, nice guy.
When, from I guess the point of the movie was to show Ted Bundy from the point of everybody that he had fooled.
Right.
Because that's how the world saw him at the time.
So my brain was poisoned by Zach and his charming eyes.
But I enjoyed it.
I'm very critical on movies and actors.
I'm a a bit of a movie snob.
Whereas, like,
he didn't depict Bundy how he was.
Like, he didn't show any signs of, like, craziness where you see clips of Bundy, like, you could tell he's got a few screws loose.
Where in this one, I'm like, dude, this is just some, like, rocket launcher model who's just, like, yeah, a little bit crazy.
That's the point.
I didn't think.
That's the point, though, because, like, the whole world was, there was, like, a big part of the world that was, like, infatuated with this guy and was like, how could this guy do it?
He's good looking.
He's a lawyer, all this stuff.
So it kind of fucks with your brain.
Zach Efron, yeah, true.
He's not as good looking as Zaph Efron, and I don't think Efron depicted the craziness enough.
Like, you could tell he just didn't have that twitch wrong with him.
Like, you saw the old clips, and you're like, okay, that guy was like, you could definitely tell he was psycho.
I don't know who the fuck that guy was fooling.
All right, well,
I'm a movie review, reviewer, reviewer, and I think your review sucks.
I liked his review because it showed the movie how like most people saw it.
How dumb people saw it.
How dumb people saw it before
he showed his review was like from the point of view of somebody that hasn't spoken to Zach Efron about the movie.
Yeah, or hung at his house and like, you know, been boys with Zach Efron.
So I really liked Paul's review, even though most people would probably hate it.
Yeah, it's like, what would it be like if we weren't friends with Zach Efron and we didn't go to college?
That kind of thing.
That's your movie review.
Sure, yeah.
I mean, I guess I'm a fucking idiot.
Biz,
I want to talk to you real quick about being a big geek guy.
I heard that you.
yeah, well, I mean, when I when I played, I didn't play much.
And when I was on the bench, I was just very aware of what was going on in the ice.
And, you know, these guys play 20 minutes.
They come off, they just, you know, they get their Gatorade or water in them, and they just,
they're in the flow of the game.
They're worrying about them themselves individually and what they have to do in order to help the team win.
Whereas, like, my role is just to go out there and run around, hit guys, and protect guys, and, you know, chirp guys from the bench.
But I would always sit by the door because, you know, when guys are coming off, sometimes they've had a a minute shift and they're exhausted and they can't find the gate latch.
You know, because your fucking, your mind's all squirrely.
I mean, take a, do a 400-meter sprint and then try to think just very logically and like normal.
Very difficult.
So I would always make sure the gate was open and then they had a water bottle in hand if they wanted it right away.
And that was just how good of a team player I was.
And that's probably a reason why I got to stick around.
Whereas in the topic of conversation came up in round two, where Lanisco, the captain for the Colorado Avalanche, was coming off the ice.
And he'd been out there a while, and you could tell he was tired, where
I believe it was on a power play, too, and he couldn't find the gate latch.
So he was on the ice, and he was still inside the offensive zone.
Well, the play ends up becoming very close.
The play continues, though.
They end up scoring.
San Jose hits them with a review on the offside because in the midst of Lanisco trying to find the gate, his feet come back back inside the offensive zone.
So it was called back.
That would have tied the game in game seven of round two against the San Jose Sharks.
They end up getting the goal declined.
The score stays 2-1, and then San Jose ends up going on to hold on and win that hockey game.
And it all came down because they didn't have a gatekeeper.
Yeah.
You are the most important part of a team.
That's what I learned from that story.
No, I'm a part of the team.
And even if it wasn't another guy who gets to play a lot of minutes right by the gate, you got to be aware, let your guy get off the ice, and that ended up costing him.
Kind of a freak play, and there's been a lot of weird ones throughout playoffs with like five-minute majors and hand-pass balls.
So I would imagine that review
on every goal becomes a thing, and also on five-minute majors, where the referee will have an opportunity to look at what happened before throwing a guy out.
You brought up an interesting point, the like like squirrely brain after you get stuck on the ice.
That's one of the greatest things in playoff hockey when a team like tilts the ice and keeps a line out there for an extended period of time and you just know like they're gassed and it's almost like they're trapped.
They can't get out and it just it just kind of like is an avalanche on the other team.
Have you ever been part of the other side where you're caught on the ice in an extended shift and you're like, fuck, how like we got to get out of here.
We got to get out of here.
Like panic sets in because that's a fascinating dynamic that hockey has oh for sure actually happened in chicago funny that you mentioned that and uh it was an i think we were out there for 20 30 seconds and then it was an icing so the rule is is if it's an icing in hockey the defending team can't change so it's it's a it's a rule that they made in order to help provide more offense because obviously there's a tire team now and the team that ice it is at a disadvantage because the Chicago Blackhawks are allowed to throw whatever line they want against us.
Well, of course they picked Jonathan Taves and Patrick Taine and whoever else it was to go against our fourth line.
And I'm 30 seconds on the ice.
I'm gassed.
These other guys can go a minute, but I'm on the dumpster fire.
They end up snapping back the draw and just buzzing in our end for about 45 seconds.
Thank God they didn't score, but it was hell.
It was a Chinese fire drill.
And Patrick Taine and Jonathan Taves pretty much ruined my life for 45 seconds.
And then I was able to finally get off.
And I mean,
transitioning it to baseball, it's kind of like
maybe when a bigger guy hits an extra base hit, and then maybe he thought he could get a triple, and he's kind of like trying to slow down after around second, and all of a sudden his mind's going squirrely because he's somewhat done exercise.
And then it's just a cluster fuck of him running the bases.
And that's kind of similar to what it would be in Hawk.
It's crazy to think about because, like, 45 seconds probably felt like an eternity, even though you say 45 seconds, but 45 seconds on,
you know,
when you're skating around, it's got to just absolutely gas you.
Yeah, I would just yell Spamone, hoping that the ref would just blow the whistle.
Kind of like in
what's the movie there, the basketball movie with Will Farrell.
Oh, you're talking about
he got game.
No.
Close.
Do you remember?
Hey, Joanna Man.
Hey, Biz, do you remember?
Do you remember that scene and he got game when Ray Allen went to the college and Rick Fox is like, hey, here's Bunny and someone else, and then they had a threesome?
Did that ever happen on your college trips?
No, but we get college guys on the podcast and I always ask them if they get teed up on recruiting trips.
And
the consensus is that they bring them out to drink.
And I don't know if
they necessarily teed them up to get a kill, but I would imagine that some of these guys end up getting lucky.
Yeah, of course.
Basketball recruiting, football recruiting is a different skill.
Yeah, that's different.
Yeah.
Could win your national championship.
Right.
And yeah, they're probably getting their wee wee sucked left and right.
Do you get?
Yeah, go ahead.
I was going to say, when you're tired out on the ice, if you've been out there for like 45, 50 seconds, are you looking forward to the opportunity to lay down and take a shot, like to block a shot?
Is that something that you look at as like, oh, at least I get five seconds of rest?
I hated blocking shots.
That was the one thing.
I would rather take a punch to the face than get a puck off the ankle or toe
or anywhere in the lower body.
Yeah, and it's funny because you watch it and because you're wearing so many pads, you think it might not hurt that much, but holy shit, when a guy shoots 100 and it goes right off their ankle, it's so, so painful looking.
Yeah,
they actually, in the midst of my professional career, they invented these things.
I think it was the trainer in Tampa Bay with the Lightning.
He invented these plastic covers that go around where your laces and the side of your boot is in order to help from, one, the potential factor of a blade cutting through and cutting you, because some guys have cut tendons in their foot because of the pressure.
Yeah, from like a pressure cut from a blade coming down on their foot.
Also, it helps for when you block shots with your foot with a puck,
it absorbs the impact.
And this guy is making his face now.
He patented the idea, and he might not even be a trainer anymore.
I actually had one last question, and it's kind of like
about the coyotes here.
So it's a SeatGeek question.
Put in promo code Takei at $10 off your Seat Geek purchase.
Bret Hall,
he was basically on Monday Night Raw on Monday night when he came out.
It was electric.
It was like a Ric Flair promo.
Do you see yourself if the Coyotes get to the Stanley Cup final someday, and maybe you're not the radio guy anymore?
Are you like the legend that comes out and whips up the crowd like Bret Hall?
I would probably have to be as intoxicated as Brett Hall once.
He was so late.
In one dot com class, I
kissed him the chinchilla, YP's chinchilla.
By the way, what a job that YP's done with this run and
getting traction on Twitter.
Yeah.
Each of his videos is getting like half a million views.
Side note before I get to more Brett Hall is
I know Dave
Deport Noise, a very polarizing figure, and if you did you love him or hate him.
Since joining Barstow, I've followed Barstow more closely.
His ability to own the internet in so many different situations is fucking insane.
Well, he was assaulted last night.
Yeah,
he was assaulted.
The NHL has a towel problem.
Yeah, I think you can agree on that.
Whether it's handing them out for free or having you get hit in the eye by them by a guy that's sitting behind you, the Dave Portnoy versus Towels battle is going to be one for the AJ.
Yeah, I mean, you know, Biz, like, the NHL is taking shots to the head very seriously now.
And, like, what if that towel gives him a concussion?
That's not something to joke about.
I completely
completely agree.
I just think it's amazing how everything that went on at Super Bowl with you guys and how you guys had far and above the most impressions at Super Bowl without even being allowed in half of the game.
Whereas Dave, you know, Dave's least favorite sport of the major sports is probably hockey, I would assume.
But because Boston's in the final, he's going to attach himself to it.
Well,
you'd be hard-pressed to find another media outlet that's gotten more traction on the Stanley Cup run, including YP.
And, of course, obviously Chick lets me talk about all the playoffs, but just now Dave and his ridiculousness in the crowd.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Biz, thank you.
We reached our 500th show last week, and we want to say thank you for being a part of the number one sports podcast.
It's been fantastic that you've been able to chip in.
You've been like, in very Biz fashion, you have been the gate guy for this podcast.
I would say Ryan Whitney's been the gate guy.
When I saw the list of how many times each individual has been on, I was shocked to see that Ryan Whitney's Whitney been on 14 times.
Yikes.
Yeah, it's like he's trying a little bit too hard.
He's a funny bastard.
Yeah, I think that you're more the gate guy, though, because he's out there on the ice more often.
You're the guy that comes in just for spurts every now and then.
Yeah, right.
You can't find anybody else.
Or maybe the healthy scratch guy in the suit in the box.
Sure.
Yeah, boys, whatever you need me for.
You know, I'm a team guy.
I'll help wind those pockets full of money.
What are you spending money on, TFT?
Obviously, it ain't closed.
You dress like shit.
You got the worst hair in the world.
No, again, dude,
listen, you don't go off the legs.
All right.
You can just talk about my height.
You can talk about how I'm a little squatty body.
You can talk about just my clothes in general.
That's fine.
But when you come at this mop, we got problems.
Buddy, it's so dry.
You got split angles.
Take care of it.
Listen, I take care of it.
I take great care of it.
And I'll tell you what else.
I don't need a doctor to knock me out just to repair my nose.
Okay.
My doctor looks at me.
He's like, this guy can take some pain.
Yeah, you're the, you're the Costco brand, Fabio.
Ooh, that's fine.
That's fine.
Fabio's a fucking supermodel.
I'll take Costco brand.
Kirkling signatures, you ever had their dark chocolate almonds?
You ever have their pub mix?
Costco's great.
Slice of pizza, 99 cents.
Remember when Chicken Bill broke his nose on
the coaster?
That was awesome.
Yeah.
And I'll bet Fabio didn't need to be knocked out by a chicken chip doctor to get that fixed.
How come Hank never gets to talk on this show?
He can talk if he wants to.
He's just being a little bit of a shy guy right now.
Hank, go ahead.
Biz, I listened to one of your guys' shows last week, and I was a big fan of the way you say Fort Loco.
Yeah, oh, Hank played it for us like a hundred times.
Very funny.
Can you say it for us?
How did I say it?
For local.
You were doing like an advert, like all you young kids that are like young and full of come drinking for loco.
I like for loco.
All right, well, there.
See, I think
I might be a better actor than Zach Epron.
Yeah, say it.
For loco.
Yeah, that's me.
Now, did you ever drink for locos before they changed the formula when it was bullshit?
The stuff with the caffeine and all that stuff?
No, I'm not big into all those crazy drinks.
I just like I used to drink beer, but I got my blood work done, and it finds out
my blood's a little bit allergic to yeast.
Ooh,
what is allergic to it?
I don't know if you guys have ever once got a blood test.
Here goes your love life.
No, I haven't gotten a blood test.
Not all of us get herpes scarce.
It just tells you what foods you're allergic to and that you should lay off of.
And I mean, we all know inflammation is one of the leading causes of disease.
We do, we all know that.
It's a leading cause of disease.
And a big reason why you need CBD and other nice things.
So, good talking, guys.
And, you know, great talking hockey, too.
I know a lot of people probably didn't tune in because they're not hockey fans that listen to your podcast, but the ones who stuck around, I appreciate it.
Love you.
No, they love you.
They love you.
And they love Spit and Chiclets.
So you can check out Biz and our favorite recurring guest, Ryan Whitney, on Spit and Chiclets with R.A., full-time RA, and they drop it twice a week.
So check that out.
Biz, thank you.
As always, we appreciate it, and we'll talk to you soon, man.
See you guys.
All right.
See you, man.

Okay, let's get to some segments.
First up, we have Bachelor Talk, Bachelorette Talk for guys that don't watch The Bachelorette, but Hank watches, so he's going to tell us.
No, I don't.
I saw you tweeting for your girlfriend, Hank.
What?
Yeah.
What?
You think that I took time to tweet something and not tweet it from the PMT Twitter?
Because
it wasn't I know it was Bachelorette.
It was someone else.
Okay.
It was their producer.
That's an aggressive thought that you think I would.
I care that much.
That's a very heavy accusation.
Okay.
Heavy.
But I mean, I guess I appreciate the fact that you think I worked that hard, but
Hannah and Jim.
Don't incriminate yourself, Hannah.
Yeah, really.
Don't be like, you think I was tweeting at night?
Wait.
No, from you.
No, you basically said that I went into someone else's account and tweeted it for them.
You think I'm a good enough boyfriend to tweet something?
All right, you didn't tweet it.
Okay.
But you did watch.
I didn't.
Sure.
Bruins.
Hannah and Jen go to Boston to practice with Jalen Brown and Terry Rosa.
Oh, weird.
That must have been awesome for you to watch Hannah.
Jalen Brown gives Hannah love advice.
What did Jalen say?
I don't know.
That's all the notes says.
When was this filmed?
I don't know.
What did the clip say that you watched?
The clip, I just saw a still of the video, and it said, this is the best advice on relationships that I forget what it said.
Celtic Cloud all year?
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, what point did they film this?
Because that changes everything, right?
Like, if it was in the beginning of the season, they probably were like, hey, this is going to work out.
And then at the end of the season, they're like, hey, guess what?
It's not going to work out because the point guard's going to talk about flat earth and then blame everyone 15 times during the season and it's probably going to all blow up in our face.
And then Gordon Hayward's advice was just have a boy.
Yeah.
Just give birth to a male.
Daddy's always happy.
Jed admits to Hannah that he originally came on the show to become a famous singer, but has since started to see a real future with Hannah.
It's so weird how that happens, right?
Like, you go on the show because, you know, you think that you're doing it for all these selfish reasons.
But then, once a guy sees a woman that he'd like to have sex with, he's like, no, I'm in love now.
Yeah.
I'm in love with shit.
This feeling in my pants, that's love.
Yeah.
And then finally, Luke P body slammed Luke S after the whistle during the group rugby date.
What?
That's yellow.
And the rest
of the guys end up hating Luke P for it.
Wait, Luke P tackled Luke B?
Luke S.
Luke S.
Is there Luke B?
I don't know.
Oh, Luke P and Luke S.
It's two Luke's.
So I guess Luke is the bad boy now, Luke P.
Damn.
Yeah, he's just fucking jacking people up.
Yeah.
Well, sounds like rugby's back.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah, that does.
That's really cool.
Did we win?
Yeah, we came in.
Luke came in second.
Yeah, we came in second.
They should call, what is it?
The what's the room that you go into?
The chamber, the House of Horrors.
No, no, on Bachelor of In.
On the Bachelorette.
The suite.
Fantasy Suite.
Yeah, the fantasy suite should be called the Sinbin.
That's actually a great rebrand for it.
That is.
You could probably get a lot of Middle of America to be like, yeah, you're right.
That is sinful.
Yep.
What they're doing right there.
So The Bachelorette, I feel like this is a boring season.
I feel like I say that every time, but I feel like this is a boring season.
Hannah's whacked.
She is?
Yes.
She's real whack.
Oh, we got Jake Marsh is nodding in approval.
You watch Jake?
Yeah.
No, your mic's not on, so don't even worry about it.
Just nod.
Nod.
Yes, he does.
Confirm nod.
Okay, so that ruins the whole bit because now we are guys that do watch The Bachelor.
Are there any dudes that are on the show that it's looking like they're going to be the front runner to become the next Bachelor?
I legitimately have watched one episode.
The body slam guy.
No, you can't give the guy the guy.
Not the Hank Heaney it, but one of the Luke's.
Yeah, one of the Luke Six.
Probably Luke P.
I mean, it sounds like he's got people's attention.
Yeah.
Okay, Luke P.
Okay.
Got my eye on you.
All right, next up, we have a sorry, not sorry for Freddie Kitchens.
So Duke Johnson wants to to be traded and Freddie Kitchens has to basically lay the smack down and let everyone know he's the boss in town he said
on Duke Johnson he wants to be traded I want to win the lottery it doesn't matter he's under contract he's a Cleveland Brown he's going to be used to the best of he's going to be used to the best of his ability in what benefits the team boom uh-huh way to go Freddy Freddie's at that beautiful point in an NFL coach's career when they're a rookie and they haven't had all the joy sucked out of them yet by like Roger Goodell and Bob Costas reading speeches at halftime too that he can say what's on his mind and not worry about it and he thinks that he calls all the shots yeah it's always great when the new guy comes in town he's like I am the sheriff and he's like actually if the owner wants to decide something he'll just decide it if the GM wants to do something he'll do it if the quarterback wants to do something he'll do it you don't get a say in that Freddie's so naive right now and I love it I love this stage of a coach's career the one I remember the most was probably Rex Ryan.
Yeah.
When he first became a coach, he was like guaranteeing Super Bowls.
He was calling players out left and right, and then his soul just got crushed.
Well, S-O-U-L.
You probably would have liked it if it was S-O-L-E.
Freddie, just a tip.
You have control of basically the special teams and who doesn't make the, like, you have like guys 50 through
58 on the roster.
That's your zone of decision-making.
Everything else, someone else has got it.
But he's also still, he's in the aftermath of Hugh Jackson.
True.
So he's going to get a little bit more leeway, I think, because they're just getting rid of that deal.
Yeah.
All right, we have a stay woke.
This was a stay woke that was a stay woke for about an hour and then completely debunked.
So Nick Wright, friend of the program, recurring guest, not a bad guy,
tried to throw out this conspiracy theory that in the 2015 NBA Finals, there was actually voting for the finals MVP was four for LeBron, four for Iggy, three for Steph in game or whatever, yeah, game seven?
Yeah.
and
because there was a tie, they did a re-vote, and then Iggy won.
So LeBron should have won because he was tied, but they traded votes and they took away all Stephs and gave them to Iggy.
And then he threw this out there, basically trying to.
It's like a split convention in politics.
Yeah, like Nick Rye was like, hey, how can I get LeBron into this finals narrative?
Here we go.
I'm going to go back in time and get him the finals MVP in a losing effort.
And then every single writer who voted on it was like, this is insane.
They literally come around and just take your vote out of your hand, and that's it.
So they weren't trading votes after the fact,
after there was only a plurality that was achieved.
Everyone was like, we sit in different spots, and the NBA literally comes, taps you on the shoulder, takes your vote, and then that's it.
That would have been great, though, if there was vote swapping that took place after the fact.
They're like, Wind Horse, listen,
if you give me your Curry vote so that AI
can win at a later date,
I will give you, when I see you falling asleep on TV, I'll paid you so it buzzes you and you wake up.
And that will be why all of a sudden out of nowhere, you have someone like Mark Spears votes for LeBron for the finals MVP this year.
Yeah.
Ooh, that'd be great.
It's like, what?
What happened here?
I do, I admire it as a fellow LeBron Stan, LeBron sexual Nick Wright.
I like.
We got to get Nick back on the podcast.
You got to keep your guy's name in even when people are forgetting.
Because right now, LeBron's name has been unfairly dragged through the mud for trying to trade away his entire team, faking an injury and feeding his kids alcohol.
And somebody needs to be there to stand on the table for him.
Listen, I genuinely like Nick Wright, and we've been through it.
We fought, and then we made up, and I actually like the guy because I think he's very, very smart and very good at what he does.
But he's in a time of need because this is sad.
This is where LeBron stands are.
They're trying to go back in time and get finals MVP votes like recast.
This is sad.
If you're a LeBron stand, take a moment, have a little self-reflection, and realize Kobe's better than LeBron.
I think what you need to do is remember how good LeBron James is at losing.
He is perhaps the best loser in NBA history.
He will forever be known as being absolutely great at not succeeding.
Did you see his Instagram yesterday?
That was the most basic.
LeBron James.
Fuck social media.
I'm dope in real life.
That was his picture.
The guy who does like 45-story Instagram stories where the dots are so fucking small, they're just a bunch of periods.
Yeah, he's doing Zero Dark30 without doing Zero Dark 30.
Whatever.
Whatever.
All right.
Before we get to guys on chicks, we're going to do a quick Mount Rushmore season is coming up.
It comes up after the NBA finals are over.
So we thought we don't want to hurt ourselves getting right into Mount Rushmore season, so we're going to do a little stretch before we start running.
And it's not going to be a draft, it's just going to be a statement of four.
So it is the Mount Rushmore of voices.
We would like to be the new Siri because Apple has announced they're open to changing the voice of Siri.
Hank, would you like to go first?
Go for it, Hank.
All four?
Yeah, that's what we're saying.
We're not going to go because we don't want to do a traditional Mount Rushmore.
We're just just getting in the practice of it.
This is like spring training.
It's a simulated game.
Yeah, this is like the day one of training camp when they make you run like 300 yards just to make sure you're in shape.
Okay.
Matthew McConaughey?
Good.
All right.
Lee Schreber.
Good.
Morgan Freeman.
That's good.
Basic pitch.
Lil Wayne.
Lil Wayne.
Lil Wayne's good.
That's really good.
I like him except Morgan Freeman.
Okay.
That was basic.
That was just on my.
I obviously had a long list for Mount Rushmore.
I was, you know, expecting someone else to take that.
Okay.
It's a good voice.
Should I go?
Can I go?
Yeah, you go.
You want to go?
You go ahead.
You go.
Oh, no, wait.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
Okay, I'll go.
Okay.
Number one, Patrick Mahomes.
Okay.
Number two, Julie Louis Dreyfus, because she had the hot voicemail in Seinfeld and also everyone.
She might be the number one approval rating of anyone ever.
When you think about it, who has ever been like, I don't like Julie Louis Dreyfus?
Keanu Reeves is getting up there.
He's up there.
He's up there.
I keep waiting for something problematic with him, but I hope it doesn't.
Yeah, the chick from Theranos would be hilarious.
Hi.
I'm here to change the world with a fraud piece of equipment that doesn't actually work, looks like a printer, and will test your blood in Arizona only.
Please submit one drop of blood into your headphone, Jack.
This turtleneck?
Oh, I didn't notice I was just jacking Steve Jobs style.
All right, that was our quick Theranos recap.
You can go watch it.
And then my last one is Al Pacino's Scarface.
Or me as Scarface.
Whatever one of the big cats.
Yeah, whatever they want.
Here's kind of like a four or five 700 and one type deal, Frank Caliendo.
Ooh.
Just mix it up.
Yeah.
Depending on what feature you can.
Confuse people.
Maybe Frank Caliendo doing the Siri voice.
Yeah.
Oh, that'd be good.
That would be really impressive.
Yeah.
Coacho.
Yeah.
That's an obvious one.
That's a good one.
Go Tiger.
You hit the home page.
Well, now I got to figure out between these last couple.
Cardi B.
I would like Cardi B.
Yeah.
What, no?
I don't know.
This phone doesn't have a pussy.
Whoa, you're doing...
Are you doing a Cardi B impression now?
Yeah.
Wow.
That's how convenient.
See that one coming.
How convenient is that?
This is Michael Scott.
He took away the home.
This is now Michael Scott.
He took away the homebuckle.
Michael Scott has taken over the podcast.
Wow.
Out of left field.
Alex Jones.
Did you work on that before this?
Absolutely not.
Okay.
Okay, Alex Jones.
Alex Jones and then John Madden.
John Madden would be good.
John Madden would be really good.
I watched the football life of John Madden the other day.
It was awesome.
What's he up to these days?
He just hangs out.
He's actually part of one of the NFL's committees.
He watches all the games in this man cave with all his friends every Sunday, and then he just hit him up and be like, John, did you think this was good?
He's like, yeah.
That's incredible.
Yeah, it's perfect.
It's perfect role.
You're right.
I've heard that every once, I think eight months or so, he'll have an opinion on a controversial call on a game.
Right.
And how it can be fixed.
Right.
And he's usually right.
He's very useful.
I also threw out their
Gronk would be great.
Gronk would be very, very good.
What was the one we always copied?
Roger Goodell.
Roger Goodell.
Joe Rogan.
Joe Rogan.
Just because he would have less time to podcast and our ratings would do better.
Yeah, that would actually be great if Joe Rogan would do.
Just stop.
Although, no, he'd probably be like, every time Siri's voice is played, it counts as a download.
That's true.
That would suck.
Elizabeth Hurley.
Ooh.
I mean, having your phone ask you if you're from the corner.
No, that's Austin Powers.
That's Austin Powers.
Yeah, but same movie.
Elizabeth Hurley.
She's just like.
Oh, I wrote that.
Austin.
Austin.
Maya Angelou.
Your teeth are simply disgusting.
Maya Angelou would be sick.
She's dead.
Yeah, but you could re-an she said enough words.
Ooh, what about this?
What if your phone just heard your voice enough to the point where it could redo your voice as Siri for whatever Siri needs to do?
Well, your phone is always listening, so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Your phone could probably do it right now.
Terrifying.
You're not talking to yourself.
Yeah.
You don't give yourself a little pump-up speech every now and then?
Like, hey, you got this, man?
No.
Do that all the time.
Never.
You got this, bro.
You can go to this mirror.
Right in the mirror?
Yeah.
And then I just lay in bed and scroll Twitter.
All right.
Guys on checks.
Sup, BBBs.
Yo.
My boyfriend likes a lot of sluts.
I don't know what that means.
My boyfriend likes a lot of slutty pictures on Instagram.
Should I be worried?
No.
You got to at least tell them that you can see it.
Yeah.
He probably reacts to that.
Because sometimes people don't know.
This is one of the things.
Girls...
are much more aware of the fact that you can check what other people are liking than guys.
Yes.
I didn't know that until I followed like six porn stars in one day and everyone was like, dude.
Like, fuck you guys.
What the hell?
I just want to see what they're up to.
Hank makes a great point because his reaction after you tell him that will tell you a lot.
Because if he stops doing it, then he's probably a good boyfriend.
Right.
Because he doesn't want to make you upset.
Well, actually, if he stops doing it, he probably made a Finstagram and he's probably up to more problems.
You'd rather like the devil you know kind of situation.
So you can keep eyes on him?
Yeah, also, the guy's got to be smarter than that.
You got to mix in a few random likes, like just muddy the water as much as possible.
I learned that with the porn star day.
If I'm going to follow a porn star, I also follow like 16 sports media accounts and some male porn stars all in the same day.
Yeah, but even if you're liking a bunch of pictures, if there's one bikini picture and you have a girlfriend, it's like...
What are you doing?
I do agree with the idea of like, let him go so you can kind of monitor.
Like, there's a few episodes of Homeland that were like that.
You got some intel on somebody building a chemical weapons facility and you don't go destroy it.
You wait to see who else interacts with that facility.
Here's a genius idea.
All the Instagram models should come together and form a union and decide that to save all of us out there who are just horny on Instagram liking a bunch of pictures, whenever they put a video up, the cover photo is a boob-boo-boo dog.
So that way, when you see it, you just see the cover photo, and then boom, it's just like some chicken a bikini at the pool.
I like that.
That's a great idea.
Do that for us.
Hey, boys, especially Ned Stark.
A few weeks ago,
does he have a British accent?
No, he actually, it was weird.
He was from Argentina.
A few weeks ago, I went on a date with this guy from Bumble and thought it went super well.
Turns out he thought so too, and actually asked me to his family party later that week.
I told him I couldn't make it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Family party for the first date?
Seems that way.
Wow.
No, no, no.
Second date.
Second date.
Second date.
Still, that's a little wow.
I told him I couldn't make it, and now he's ghosting me.
Am I overthinking the situation, or did I just dodge a bullet?
You might have dodged a bullet, but what if it was your family, too?
What if you guys were like cousins, and you'll never know?
Ah, yeah, that'd be crazy.
If you're like, hey, I have the same family reunion at the same time on Sunday afternoon at the park.
Yeah.
We'll see you guys there.
Yeah, no, you dodge a bullet.
That's second date as a family outing.
That's fucking weird.
He definitely is like one of those
guys who probably lives at his house till he's like 35.
Either that or he absolutely hates his family and he was just using bumble to try to get a buffer zone at the family reunion.
Or he's a genius and he wasn't actually into her, but he doesn't want to let her down the hard way, so that's his go-to move to dump chicks is to be like, hey, we're going to see Nana.
She's on her deathbed.
Cool second date.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, good point.
Sup, boys, especially PFT.
So my boyfriend is trying to grow a summer beard, but it cannot come in fully and looks terrible.
That wait, timeout, that sucks, though, right?
Yeah, oh yeah,
when it's like sup, and you're like, oh, nice.
And it's like, well, actually, I only said sup to you because my bad boyfriend's beard is shitty.
No, that's fine.
Listen, there's one thing I learned earlier on.
That's a brutal bait and switch.
You got to lean into all your weaknesses.
Yeah, that's a brutal bait and switch.
I told him to start using shampoo in his beard, and he said, this is why women can't grow facial hair.
So let me know.
Does putting shampoo in a beard help it grow?
I can say with 100% certainty that it does not.
Does not.
And also, women definitely can grow facial hair, buddy.
They have to shave.
It's 2016.
All the time.
Sup, boys, especially fat dad cat.
Oh.
This summer, I've decided to start letting
sleeping around a lot.
I haven't.
Oh, yes.
BU!
I have an IUD, but I haven't told any guy I slept with that I do.
It's an improvised explosive device.
Yeah, we always get that confused.
What is the.
It's carbon.
IUD.
It's a tuning fork that's inside your uterus, so you can't get pregnant because babies hate the perfect CPA.
I thought she had herpes.
Anyway, I have an IUD, but I haven't told any guy that I slept with that I do.
Every morning after, I ask for a cash app, parentheses, yes, a free cash app plug.
Thank you for that.
Wait.
Yeah.
Every morning I ask after for a cash app from the guys for plan B.
Thing is, I don't need the plan B, and I'm just spending it on things like alcohol and food am.
Yo, yo, am I wrong for this?
Question mark?
No.
Is this prostitution?
No, you're queen.
No, it's not.
None of this is bad.
You are queen.
That is unbelievable.
You figured out an exploitation in the market.
A market inefficiency for guys, which is we're so terrified of getting a girl pregnant that we will not question you demanding money from us.
Yes, you just, you're taking advantage of our stupidity, and more power to you.
That is, this is feminism in 2019.
This is fucking awesome.
Yeah.
Like, that's fucking hilarious.
I actually have a friend that went through this exact same thing about a month ago.
This is probably her.
Yeah.
This is probably her.
So say what's up to Corky if he texts you back.
That's something with that.
Okay, that's it.
All right.
We will see everyone Friday.
We got Paul Rabel.
Lax.
We're making Lax prime time on Friday show.
Very fun interview with him.
And we'll see everyone then.
Love you guys.
We'll take the lead on it.
Talking away.
Oh, wait, no, it's not yet.
No,
let's say I'll stay away.
Talking away.
I don't know what.
Let's say.
I'll say it anyway.
Today isn't my day to find you.
Try it away.
I'll be coming for your love, okay.

Manny, thank you so much, man.
Manny, who's the better singer?
Me or Big Cat?
Better singer, him or me?
Both of you.
Thank you.
There we go.
That's diplomatic.
All right, we're calling you out, Floyd Mayweather Jr.
And especially.
Yeah, we called you out.
Thank you, Manny.
