Speaker 42 Huge surprise.

Speaker 41 I'm going to reveal the.

Speaker 2 Today is Friday, July 18th, and it is the ninth annual Takey Awards.

Speaker 51 Woo! All the boys are suited up.

Speaker 63 We look great.

Speaker 41 We look great. We really do.
Got the ties on. Hank's rocking the bow tie.

Speaker 64 Hank looks like Peewee Herman.

Speaker 41 Extra saucy. Yeah.
Peewee Herman, all-time handsome guy. Yeah.
Great dude. You look really good.
All the boys in the booth, too.

Speaker 41 The big concerning thing was Memes has been wearing the suit all day, which kind of creeps me out a little bit.

Speaker 60 He came to work in the suit.

Speaker 59 He looked like he was going to court.

Speaker 66 He's for a custody battle.

Speaker 41 He looks like a guy that your office brings in to fire people. Yes.
Like an outside consultant to be like, you're fired.

Speaker 68 A cold, heartless man. Yeah.

Speaker 30 Who just comes in, no, no emotions.

Speaker 41 Puts you on a pip.

Speaker 70 Just see you. See you, buddy.

Speaker 29 All right, so we have 25 awards we're giving out.

Speaker 60 If this is your first takeies, welcome.

Speaker 20 We do this every single year, this week, every year, when there's no sports going on.

Speaker 53 We have,

Speaker 2 you know, a year that we look back at the past year.

Speaker 54 So it's also kind of confusing because it always, the takeies kind of go from July to July.

Speaker 75 So we're looking at that.

Speaker 48 That

Speaker 70 time.

Speaker 41 One thing I always like about the takeies, though, is the time frame of it because this is what the calendar should be. Right.

Speaker 41 Like, the calendar should start football season starts the year, and then we have a sports calendar that ends at the end of the NBA playoffs, the Stanley Cup playoffs, and that's the year.

Speaker 41 That's the year of review that we do. Shit, you know what? I just realized we didn't do something.

Speaker 76 What?

Speaker 41 We should have done in Memoriam.

Speaker 10 Oh, well, we could do it at the end of the year.

Speaker 41 How about we just do it off the top of our heads?

Speaker 42 Okay.

Speaker 9 Bill Walton.

Speaker 41 That's a great one.

Speaker 77 Rob Ford.

Speaker 3 Rob Ford. That's a good one.

Speaker 40 I watched that documentary last night. Yeah, it's really good.
A few years ago. Really good.
Yeah. In Memoriam.

Speaker 10 Bob Barker.

Speaker 41 Was that this year?

Speaker 69 No, I had no idea. Okay.

Speaker 41 Is he still?

Speaker 41 Dead. He's dead.
He's for sure dead, right?

Speaker 10 He's alive. Bob Barker? Bob Barker.

Speaker 78 All right.

Speaker 41 Probably still alive.

Speaker 79 Hmm.

Speaker 41 O.J.

Speaker 56 O.J. was this year?

Speaker 41 That was in Adam Schefters from this year, right?

Speaker 10 That's right. Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 56 Anyone in the booth have a death that they.

Speaker 30 The years kind of blend together, boys.

Speaker 66 David Bowie.

Speaker 49 Oh, for sure. Yeah, yeah.
David Bowie.

Speaker 10 Yeah, R.I.P. Yep.

Speaker 81 R.I.P. David Bowie.

Speaker 76 The Queen?

Speaker 41 That was a couple years ago, because remember they made it.

Speaker 82 That's close enough.

Speaker 29 That's close enough.

Speaker 41 They made us do like a minute of silence before opening kickoff for the Queen.

Speaker 23 Yeah, that's close enough, though.

Speaker 41 Yeah, I think that's about it. Yeah.
I think it's everybody that died.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 37 All right.

Speaker 30 So before we get to the takies, obviously some big news announced on Thursday.

Speaker 37 Fox Sports Barstool Collab.

Speaker 30 Pretty exciting stuff.

Speaker 59 I'm sure there are some people who are like, hey, how's this going to change this show or any shows?

Speaker 34 I'll say right now, it's not going to to change this show at all.

Speaker 83 We made sure of that.

Speaker 30 It's going to be a great, like, this is very different than

Speaker 20 the ESPN partnership back in 2017, the faithful Barstool Van Talk.

Speaker 30 Fox is a very willing partner.

Speaker 70 They're very excited. We're very excited.

Speaker 23 They believe in us.

Speaker 87 We believe in them.

Speaker 30 A lot different than what we went through with the ESPN.

Speaker 66 So

Speaker 54 what is it going to look like, though?

Speaker 30 So we have the college football show that we've been doing for a very long time.

Speaker 34 That's actually not going to change.

Speaker 89 We are going to, the only change on that is we used to go on the road six to seven times a year.

Speaker 90 Now we're going to go still on the road six times a year, but we are going to do it in conjunction with big noon kickoff.

Speaker 36 So we're going to have the Barstool College Football Show take place right next to big noon kickoff, right before big noon kickoff, but it's still going to be the same show.

Speaker 81 So it's going to be the same show.

Speaker 73 There'll be seven or so shows from studio, six or so shows from location.

Speaker 30 Dave's going to go on big noon kickoff.

Speaker 84 So that's very exciting.

Speaker 36 I think there's a couple dates that he can't make that I might have to go on big noon kickoff.

Speaker 92 So that will be that.

Speaker 34 That's the college football portion.

Speaker 30 And then also there will be a TV show that will run out of this office, the Chicago office, from 7 to 9 Central every morning, Monday through Friday, on FS1, which is going to be Barstool.

Speaker 81 It's going to be an ensemble.

Speaker 38 So PFT will be on it from time to time.

Speaker 58 I'll be on it from time to time.

Speaker 30 But it's not going to take away from what we do here.

Speaker 41 It's going to be, yeah, it's going to be a mix of everybody in this office and people that might not be in this office right now that might stop in.

Speaker 41 It's just going to be a big melange of people that work here at Barstall.

Speaker 41 And yeah, I don't expect to be spending a full-time job's worth of time going on the show, but I'll try to make it on like once a week is what we discussed, something in that neighborhood.

Speaker 41 And that way it's not going to cannibalize Pardon My Take.

Speaker 30 Yeah, and I think the tonight probably won't go on at the same time just because we don't want to be like, oh, they're just doing Pardon My Take on TV, but we will both appear on the show weekly.

Speaker 41 We keep that for you guys.

Speaker 65 Yeah, we keep that for you.

Speaker 41 That's just for you.

Speaker 41 The only show I think it could cannibalize is Wake Up Mincy.

Speaker 49 I'm concerned about that.

Speaker 51 Let's move to the afternoons.

Speaker 41 Okay, well, that's good.

Speaker 10 So we're good.

Speaker 41 Well, it's going to preempt Wake Up Mincy.

Speaker 66 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 Okay. But I'm excited.
It's actually

Speaker 30 very odd feeling because we've been through this and we've been through the congratulations and I'm always that that maybe jaded me a little of like, hey, there's no congratulations until it starts happening.

Speaker 88 Kind of like when people congratulate us on the book.

Speaker 3 Oh, remember, we got to write a book.

Speaker 41 We haven't started, though.

Speaker 27 I did have someone congratulate me when we were doing the baseball stream the other night on the restaurant, and I appreciated that guy.

Speaker 41 That's good.

Speaker 37 He's like, Congrats on the book and the restaurant.

Speaker 47 Yes.

Speaker 41 I actually think, think about it this way. Every single day that goes by, it's going to be harder to quit the book.
Like, there's never going to be an easier time to quit the book than right now.

Speaker 41 Right now? Right this very second. It's only going to get harder.

Speaker 98 Do you?

Speaker 23 I mean, listen, AWLs better promise to buy this book.

Speaker 99 They better promise.

Speaker 41 Because I'm promising to write this book, right? Yeah.

Speaker 19 We need a promise off.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 34 You promise to buy it.

Speaker 41 We'll promise to write it. But I'm pumped about the TV show.
It's going to be cool to get back on the air a little bit. And you're right.
Fox Sports, they want to work with us.

Speaker 41 We want to work with them. They're going to let us do us, which is a very cool thing.
They trust us. Ball's in our court.
Go fuck around. Do whatever you want.

Speaker 41 I'm excited to share the airwaves with Colin Coward. Yes.
I really am. Yes.

Speaker 53 Who might be up for a takey.

Speaker 41 He might be up for a takeie. He might be up for a takey.

Speaker 57 But yeah, it's exciting.

Speaker 37 It's big for Barstool.

Speaker 30 And my excitement is like, it's just different than it was 2017, but I think it's better because, like I said, this is a partnership that feels like it can work because they wanted us and we're like, hey, let's do this instead of trying to beg to get

Speaker 91 a time slot at 1 a.m.

Speaker 41 Yeah, and if you are an AWL that owns a gym, if you own a gym, we're going to need every television on FS Corridor morning. That's on you.
First of all, congratulations on owning a gym.

Speaker 41 That's fucking sick. You're probably in really good good shape and hot.
So that's cool. But we need you to have our TV show on Monday through Friday, 7 to 9 century.

Speaker 91 After you watch all part of my take on YouTube and listen to it on all your podcasts.

Speaker 10 Correct.

Speaker 41 Correct. But we're counting on you guys.
Yeah.

Speaker 57 So, yeah, it's not like, hey,

Speaker 37 boomers in the fall are now going to be on FS1.

Speaker 23 No, no, this show is not changing at all.

Speaker 19 I made sure that was a very big sticking point.

Speaker 27 We love this show. We've learned through the years that this is our audience.
We love you guys.

Speaker 70 We'll see if you win a podcast listener of the year, but we love you guys so much, and we don't want to change any of that.

Speaker 19 This is in addition, so we're excited for it.

Speaker 8 Hank, are you excited? Very excited.

Speaker 41 Hank, does this make Tom Brady your coworker?

Speaker 40 Yeah, I think it does. Yeah.

Speaker 22 Your peer?

Speaker 40 He might be involved in the show later, too.

Speaker 10 In this show? Yeah.

Speaker 101 In today's show.

Speaker 102 Takeies. Oh.

Speaker 9 No way.

Speaker 50 Okay.

Speaker 103 You say he might be and he's not?

Speaker 10 He might be. He might be.

Speaker 95 Okay. That would be very funny.

Speaker 23 We need to start doing that.

Speaker 53 Be like, hey, listen, this is the ninth annual takeies.

Speaker 30 You want to do something special?

Speaker 40 Dr. James Andrews.

Speaker 30 LeBron James might be involved in this.

Speaker 106 Actually, can I tell you a funny story?

Speaker 31 So we have guest presenters.

Speaker 34 I tried to reach out to Dr.

Speaker 54 James Andrews for Injury of the Year.

Speaker 23 Did not get you. Which one?

Speaker 60 The one that we had on nine years ago, who correctly diagnosed Kyle Schwerber's injury.

Speaker 108 I emailed him. Yeah.

Speaker 29 Professor, have not heard back.

Speaker 66 We should revisit that, though. I did make the effort.

Speaker 41 We should have him on again. Yeah.

Speaker 66 We should absolutely have him on again.

Speaker 99 That will be in the book. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 40 Did we we do that with Aaron Rodgers or we almost did it with Aaron Rodgers?

Speaker 41 A different guy named Aaron Rodgers? I think we talked about it. Yeah.

Speaker 40 I think we almost did it.

Speaker 87 I think we did it the exact right amount of times once.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 48 Because if we had just done an entire podcast where every single day we had a guest name that was similar to a famous person, people would get mad.

Speaker 41 I think so. Yeah.

Speaker 97 Okay.

Speaker 41 PFT, you're surprised? Yeah. So last night, if you watched the Takey Awards, Shane, or excuse me, the Espy Awards, Shane Gillis hosted, and he did the monologue at the start of it.

Speaker 41 I thought it was pretty funny. I thought he told some pretty funny jokes.
Shakespeare's incredible. Shane's a funny guy.
Shout out, Lil Sass.

Speaker 41 Our dear friend Lil Sass wrote some of the jokes for him, which I thought was very cool. So I know how these award shows go.
I know that he probably wrote a lot of jokes that didn't get included.

Speaker 41 So I reached out to Lil Sass this morning and I asked him if he had any leftover jokes.

Speaker 110 Oh, nice.

Speaker 41 And I got some leftover jokes from Lil Sass that were meant to be on the Espes, didn't make the cut, maybe too spicy for TV.

Speaker 41 And I want our good friend Zach to do the opening monologue.

Speaker 47 Oh,

Speaker 72 for the takies.

Speaker 38 I love this.

Speaker 41 With Lil Sass's jokes. So, we have an opening monologue this year.
And Zach has not read these. I just now, as I'm talking, sent him the jokes.

Speaker 41 So, this is going to be Zach reading Lil Sass's jokes for the first time.

Speaker 38 And that's so perfect because Zach actually

Speaker 27 did a Daniel Day-Lewis method act this morning where he, much like Lil Sass, woke up at 11:30 in the morning.

Speaker 95 He did, yeah.

Speaker 41 He was a little bit late this morning. Yeah.

Speaker 112 This is my first time reading through these jokes, and I am happy to present them to you guys.

Speaker 42 Okay, okay.

Speaker 9 Great.

Speaker 3 What about the part about the

Speaker 77 deplorable move on my end?

Speaker 112 I can't apologize enough to anybody who, everyone who is here at the scheduled time,

Speaker 112 I want to apologize for not

Speaker 112 respecting your time to the best of my ability, and it's not a good move, and I couldn't be more... Anything you guys need me to do to make up for it, I'm willing to do.

Speaker 112 And I'm sorry for being late today.

Speaker 48 What did I say to you, though?

Speaker 112 Don't do it again. No, that's not what I said.

Speaker 70 Well, I did say that, but I also said

Speaker 95 if we fired people for sleeping in, Hank would have been fired a thousand times.

Speaker 113 Fact.

Speaker 41 And he did walk in the room and give the best apology of all time. And instantly, always.

Speaker 54 For people who don't know, so we had a commercial day today.

Speaker 37 We had a tape bunch of commercials.

Speaker 95 We're here at 8 a.m.

Speaker 23 was the call time.

Speaker 60 Zach, what happened?

Speaker 114 Did your alarm not go off?

Speaker 77 I didn't plug it back in.

Speaker 94 So you have your phone?

Speaker 41 He's got a plug-in alarm clock next to his bed. So

Speaker 112 it's Alexa, but I use the top volume on it. So usually I can't tell her in the morning, Alexa, cut off the alarm because she can't hear me because she's going so loud.
So I pull the plug out the back.

Speaker 101 Every morning.

Speaker 10 Yes.

Speaker 2 So you yell at Alexa every morning.

Speaker 34 She doesn't listen and then you have to pull out the plug.

Speaker 112 So I just go to plug usually.

Speaker 77 And I pulled the plug. I didn't re-plug.

Speaker 94 Why does she use your phone?

Speaker 112 Not loud enough.

Speaker 40 You got to go too alarming. I'd like to.

Speaker 100 I came in and Hank goes, as a sleep-in guy, Zach is a quintessential sleep-in guy.

Speaker 95 He like, no, he, it was a Spider-Man meme.

Speaker 40 He's like, I know Zach he's also a sleep people were like freaking out being like Zach I was like I you know I think he's gonna be all right I can tell like that's a guy that just slept it like police was on the way to Zach's apartment did we did someone go and wake you up well no we brought someone there his building wouldn't let them up and then they were like basically only if a police comes and says we you know have to go check will they let someone in our security guard is a is a cop and has a friend that's a police officer so like we were sending someone there to find out got it So, we were very relieved when you came in this morning.

Speaker 112 I'm so sorry you guys went through that this morning. I was unaware of that aspect.

Speaker 41 I agree with, like, the alarm clock situation. We talked about this a couple weeks ago.
The alarm clocks aren't annoying enough anymore. They're too relaxing.

Speaker 115 What would have gone through your face? What would have gone through your head if you saw a police officer at the door to wake you up?

Speaker 115 You would have been.

Speaker 112 I would assume

Speaker 112 first thought I would have known.

Speaker 112 Do I know what time it is when I meet the cop at the door

Speaker 112 it's time to time to go yeah if there's a cop okay it's laid out yeah is it is it is there just a police officer or is there someone else accompanying the cop that I would recognize

Speaker 77 we had said someone else because I was worried for that reason okay I didn't want you to be too concerned what was the worst text message you had in your phone uh the worst text message I had in my phone there was some okay are you okay are you alive and I was like oh my goodness gracious yeah this is not good it's a bad feeling terrible feeling max got mad at like 920 I just fired off a text.

Speaker 91 You said, Are you coming in?

Speaker 112 question mark and max was like that's gonna kill him that one i that one i was in the uber and i was like okay well uh my time here was very short i appreciated all the opportunity and i've i've i knew i'd fuck it up but i didn't know it'd be this soon i tried to get him not not to send it because i i knew that you would have that one was going to set you off

Speaker 41 it's all right we love you zach it's all right it's just don't do it again all right yes sir so zach Maybe maybe start the show with a monologue. Welcome, everybody, to the 2025 Takeies.

Speaker 41 I'm your host and presenter, Zach, and then just rip into the jokes.

Speaker 112 I would like to welcome everybody to the 2026 Takeies Awards.

Speaker 112 Warm welcome. Let's get things started here, gentlemen.

Speaker 112 51 if you count the 17 million in his transfer portal.

Speaker 41 51 if you count the 17 million his

Speaker 102 his

Speaker 112 Shohei Otani became the first player ever with 50 homers and 50 steals in a season.

Speaker 118 Okay, that's good.

Speaker 118 Transfer.

Speaker 121 Transfer.

Speaker 74 Tough read.

Speaker 10 It's on me.

Speaker 112 Shadora Sanders slowed to the fifth round in the draft because teams were worried he would be a distraction in the locker room. But luckily, the Browns needed a distraction from their distraction.

Speaker 112 Anything to pull focus from the ankle monitors.

Speaker 10 Nice.

Speaker 22 Love that. Yep.
Love that.

Speaker 112 How's everybody doing tonight? Everybody feeling good? Feeling loose?

Speaker 10 Everything takes?

Speaker 47 Hell yeah. That's awesome.

Speaker 10 I love that for you guys.

Speaker 112 Let's take it up here.

Speaker 112 Angel Reese spoke out online against the WNBA after a bad call from the officials.

Speaker 112 Bold move considering she could face up to 25 push-in fines.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 41 Yeah, I think that was supposed to be bucks, but it auto-corrected push.

Speaker 10 Okay, if I'm guessing. Yeah.

Speaker 112 Kylie Jenner and Timothy Chalamay went to the NBA finals together. Kylie said it was rude how players were coming up to the couple being flirtatious all night.

Speaker 112 But in Kat's defense, he didn't realize Timothy had a girlfriend.

Speaker 47 That's good.

Speaker 10 All right. I like that one.

Speaker 41 It's a good one.

Speaker 112 Mike Tomlin looks like he washes his eyeballs with soap every morning.

Speaker 10 That's right to the point.

Speaker 122 That's the closer, right?

Speaker 10 Yeah, that's great.

Speaker 92 Good job, Zach. Good job, Zach.
Good job, Zach. Good job.

Speaker 82 Great monologue.

Speaker 29 Great monologue. It was cool seeing

Speaker 41 his name in the credits. Yeah, that was funny last night.

Speaker 81 Might have been misspelled.

Speaker 77 That's okay. Yeah, that's fine.

Speaker 68 That's fine. They added an extra L to him.

Speaker 99 I think, actually, they probably did that on purpose to fuck with him.

Speaker 30 Great Espoo. Shane is the man.

Speaker 19 Robert Salah in 2022, Robert Salah and the Jets are keeping receipts on those that mock the team.

Speaker 59 He said, I'm going to be more than happy to share them when it's all said and done.

Speaker 56 Robert Salah finished with a 20 and 36 record and was fired after five games this year.

Speaker 41 Unceremoniously.

Speaker 101 Rent came due.

Speaker 89 Zach Rosenblatt said in 2021, Daniel Jones still has a lot to prove, but

Speaker 56 I think it's safe to say he's a lot better than Jalen Hurts.

Speaker 93 That one came due this year in a big, big way.

Speaker 75 Adam Coffler two years ago said Jameer Gibbs is the stone-cold worst pick the Lions could have made at 12, but whatever, Dan Campbell.

Speaker 23 In two seasons, Jameer Gibbs has 3,190 yards from scrimmage and 31 touchdowns

Speaker 10 in two years.

Speaker 41 Pretty good. Pretty good start.

Speaker 84 We also had this famous one.

Speaker 91 Maybe you guys can tell me who wrote this.

Speaker 30 Man, Bronnie, definitely better than some of these cats I've been watching on league pass today.

Speaker 95 Shit, lightweight, hilarious, four crying face emojis.

Speaker 41 Just my thought as a sports junkie, regardless of my own sport I play.

Speaker 30 That was LeBron James in 2023.

Speaker 19 Bronnie averaged 2.3 points per game and 0.7 rebounds.

Speaker 36 And then finally, for the rent came due section of this, which none of these are eligible to win, but I thought we'd have to say them.

Speaker 56 Deion Sanders.

Speaker 55 A year and a half ago said in a response to a tweet that said, tell your son, stop acting like he the coldest one out there when he put up a four and eight season.

Speaker 60 Deion Sanders said he will be a top five pick.

Speaker 78 Where your son is going, L O L O L O L O.

Speaker 64 I got time today.

Speaker 78 L-O-L-O-L-O-L-O.

Speaker 41 It's a lot of out louds. Yeah.

Speaker 62 It got community noted.

Speaker 18 He wasn't a top five pick.

Speaker 107 Top five for five rounds.

Speaker 8 He was, yeah, top five rounds.

Speaker 22 Top five rounds.

Speaker 23 All right, so this year's takes, and then we will get to the winner.

Speaker 19 We have our good friend Peter Schrager, who before the season last year said, Aaron Rodgers is my pick for the 2024 NFL MVP.

Speaker 36 What he's about to do for the Jets fans this season is something even he couldn't grasp or foresee.

Speaker 93 Memes,

Speaker 38 did he do that for you?

Speaker 55 That first drive against 49ers.

Speaker 138 Thought we were in the Super Bowl. That was it.

Speaker 3 That was great.

Speaker 106 We also had

Speaker 58 new Bears punter Tori Taylor said he got this text from Caleb Williams.

Speaker 30 Hey, you're not going to punt too much here.

Speaker 60 The Bears were the second

Speaker 91 highest team in punts with 82 in the 2024 season.

Speaker 41 I like the confidence. I like the confidence from him.
Also, memes, let's not forget that Aaron Rodgers is top five in virtually every category. Does that justify Peter Schreger?

Speaker 138 He was better stats than Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 30 I think I had to throw a couple of these in here because I also had some really bad takes about the Bears.

Speaker 139 Obviously, last season, you could just, I mean, you listen to this show, I had some really, really bad takes.

Speaker 48 But Nick Wright also said in August,

Speaker 26 the Chicago Bears were his pick to go to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 77 We had Albert Breer

Speaker 55 last summer said, I think Gerard Mayo's a special coaching prospect.

Speaker 70 I think he has special qualities.

Speaker 41 He does.

Speaker 40 What type of special qualities?

Speaker 42 That's true. That's true.
Special

Speaker 41 is a wide spectrum. Yeah.

Speaker 19 And then Kurt Signetti on Indiana versus Notre Dame, we don't just beat top 25 teams.

Speaker 59 We beat the shit out of them.

Speaker 91 They lost and they were down 27 to 3 in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 41 At the time, he was correct that they had done that. Well, except for Ohio State.
Also, he, I mean,

Speaker 41 he did have, he was the king of making scores look better at the end of these blowouts.

Speaker 141 Yes, yes.

Speaker 30 But the take of the year is going to actually come from a one subsect of topics here, and it's Max.

Speaker 48 You're going to be happy about this.

Speaker 77 There were a lot of takes about the Philadelphia Eagles this year.

Speaker 37 So here are the official nominees for take of the year.

Speaker 95 We had Nick Wright during the Super Bowl.

Speaker 54 He said Chiefs down 10, which means finally the game can start.

Speaker 37 It's a weird part of the dynasty that they're totally unable to play well in Super Bowls until they're down exactly 10 points, but it's verifiably true.

Speaker 133 The Chiefs lost the game 40-22, and we're down 34-0 and 40-6 after being down 10.

Speaker 30 Bobby Spence said, I honestly believe when all is said and done, Saquon's biggest regret of his career will be signing with Philadelphia.

Speaker 35 That's a tough one.

Speaker 58 Skip Bayless also said, Saquon Barkley to Philly does not scare me one bit.

Speaker 89 And then we had finally the last two nominees.

Speaker 100 The Eagles are going to miss out on hiring Bill Belichick because they're too big of cowards to fire Nick Siriani.

Speaker 78 True.

Speaker 88 That was from App Barstow Jordy.

Speaker 104 And then finally, the winner of Take of the Year.

Speaker 10 Drum roll.

Speaker 71 It goes to our new colleague, Colin Coward, who said

Speaker 6 before the Super Bowl this year, the Eagles may not get into the red zone against Kansas City.

Speaker 91 And then the Eagles scored scored 44 points and had 345 yards total offense.

Speaker 19 That is our winner for take of the year.

Speaker 6 Listen, if Coward has said may not get in the end zone, that's one, may not get into the red zone against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 41 Now, to be fair, they did score a couple touchdowns where they didn't get into the red zone.

Speaker 63 That's true. They did have a long touch.

Speaker 41 From beyond the 20-yard line.

Speaker 2 They did have a long touchdown, but they also had a field goal where they got in the red zone.

Speaker 65 That's true.

Speaker 17 But yeah, that is our winner for take of the year.

Speaker 100 That is so, so abysmally bad.

Speaker 41 And I love Colin. Yeah.
I do. But this is an honor, honor, Colin.
I hope you appreciate it. Yeah.

Speaker 38 Come collect your takeie in person.

Speaker 40 He's got to be double digits.

Speaker 99 Oh, yeah. He's definitely won a lot of takeies.

Speaker 40 Yeah, he's got a lot of hardware.

Speaker 117 Yeah. All right.

Speaker 38 Next up, PFT.

Speaker 41 Okay, so we have the Just Log Off of the Year Award. I believe we started this a couple years ago.
A relatively new addition to the Takeys. And the nominees for Just Log Off of the Year are

Speaker 41 RG3 for his ongoing feud against Ryan Clark.

Speaker 32 Ooh, that one's a spicy one.

Speaker 41 RG3

Speaker 41 for for deep-throating the croissant at the Olympics. Yep.

Speaker 66 That was.

Speaker 51 We couldn't.

Speaker 70 We were shocked when we were putting together a ticket that happened this year.

Speaker 41 Yeah, that felt like it was a while ago. And the final nominee for Just Log Off of the Year Award, RG3

Speaker 41 for his post regarding Angel Reese, where he posted an image that nobody had seen for the world to see and then said that Angel Reese's inner circle was contacting him to discuss how she's jealous about Caitlin Clark while he asked people not to bully Angel Reese.

Speaker 41 Okay. Three great nominees this year.

Speaker 8 Who's going to win?

Speaker 41 The winner of the 2025 Takey for Just Log Off of the Year Award

Speaker 41 is RG3.

Speaker 10 And it was a tie for all three of them.

Speaker 49 Oh, it was a tie.

Speaker 41 So great all-around performance, historical year, big numbers. We might not ever see him again.
Just put the phone down once in a while.

Speaker 113 I actually think we will.

Speaker 16 Yeah, we will.

Speaker 38 Do you think that he, like, at any point, was like, hey, maybe I should just chill out?

Speaker 41 No. Just log off? No, Twitter.com.
I live for this. Okay.
That's RG3. He likes interactions.
I think sometimes he pokes the hornet's nest and he enjoys the swarm.

Speaker 10 Okay.

Speaker 48 RG3 with the second takeie given away today.

Speaker 66 All right, we have next up, bet of the year.

Speaker 3 Very important category.

Speaker 20 We actually should go through our history of the takies and see how many different awards we've given.

Speaker 68 Because we have some repeats, but we have a ton that are just we have a list

Speaker 40 yeah we do it's like 150.

Speaker 41 anyone could be nominated for anything i woke up in the middle of the night last night in a cold sweat panicking because we are not doing southern of the year this year ah i was like oh shit we forgot that one but that makes it more illustrious that you don't you don't know when what what year your award may come up right like if you're doing the oscars and there are no good movies right you could just be like we're just gonna do best best uh cinematography we'll do best costume design we're not doing best picture You all suck.

Speaker 102 Yeah,

Speaker 30 you should be able to change it year to year, and there should be an award like it was an okay movie of the year.

Speaker 41 Yeah, there were no good documentaries this year, so we will not be giving that award out.

Speaker 4 Yeah, movie I'd like to most jerk off to.

Speaker 41 That's now that's an award. That should be an Oscar award.

Speaker 49 Get fine.

Speaker 103 Yeah, Swordfish.

Speaker 41 That's a good one. Good call.

Speaker 75 All right, bet of the year.

Speaker 23 We have some really good nominees.

Speaker 53 We have,

Speaker 26 first off, the K-State burrito guy who tweeted: if K-State loses to BYU, I'll shove a beefy five-layer burrito up my ass.

Speaker 108 BYU won the game 38-9,

Speaker 91 and then he went on to shove the burrito up his ass.

Speaker 104 And BYU tweeted Liv Moss as their final score.

Speaker 41 That's fourth meal.

Speaker 38 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 100 We have next up the FSU poop guy who really set the tone for Bets of the Year this year

Speaker 130 when he said that if Florida State loses to Boston College this weekend, I will eat dog shit out of a red solo cup with a spoon and post a video of me doing it.

Speaker 137 Book it.

Speaker 19 Florida State lost 28 to 13 to Boston College.

Speaker 34 He did not.

Speaker 53 He actually deleted his account.

Speaker 55 He's a coward. He's a fraud.

Speaker 37 We should never forget.

Speaker 41 It was a disgrace. He ruined Florida State's season.
Yep.

Speaker 58 Next up, we have the Travis Hunter-Heisman bet by all of us.

Speaker 75 Good job, David. Good job.
Yep.

Speaker 74 Good job, nominee.

Speaker 63 Great bet.

Speaker 107 We also have Hank saying he could dunk.

Speaker 41 This was a good bet.

Speaker 49 Well, defined good.

Speaker 38 I got in good shape.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 51 Well, actually, that's funny because the next nominee is Hank saying he'd have a six-pack.

Speaker 40 This was old.

Speaker 56 You've been saying it a lot.

Speaker 40 I almost had a six-pack at one point in the dunk bet.

Speaker 51 Okay, and then finally, Hanks saying he could outdrive PFT.

Speaker 41 This was a bad bet.

Speaker 40 This was a really bad bet. Really dumb.
You kind of bullied me into it, and I regretted it every day ever since.

Speaker 41 It was on the heels of losing the dunk bet, and you had to try to reclaim your masculinity at that point. Yeah.
I understand. You were under pressure.

Speaker 42 Okay.

Speaker 41 But hey, eight yards. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Not bad. Could have been a lot worse.

Speaker 47 Could have been a lot worse.

Speaker 10 Good bet. All right.

Speaker 61 Bet of the year.

Speaker 30 The winner is

Speaker 102 K-State burrito guy.

Speaker 66 He shoved a full five-layer burrito up his ass.

Speaker 56 He wins the takeie for bed of the year.

Speaker 41 Salute to that guy. Great follow-through on his part.

Speaker 27 I remember seeing it and I was like, wow, he did it.

Speaker 139 Okay.

Speaker 24 I don't know if we actually wanted this, but okay.

Speaker 41 Yeah, when you crap out a seven-layer burrito or what was it, five-layer? Five-layer. Five-layer that you shove up your ass.
Does it look different than if you had eaten it? Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 41 I feel like it's probably pretty similar.

Speaker 21 This, though, this is the bet of the year because it was right off the heels of the FSU poop guy, and he basically was like, this is how it's done.

Speaker 30 At K-State, we shove food up our ass when we say we're going to win a game and then lose that game.

Speaker 41 Emaw.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 24 Every man a Wildcat. All right.

Speaker 29 Next up, PFT.

Speaker 41 Our fourth award of the night is a very special one. It is the 17th best quarterback of the year award.

Speaker 41 17th best quarterback in the NFL. And last year, who won?

Speaker 143 Dak Prescott.

Speaker 41 It was Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott won the 17th best quarterback of the year award.

Speaker 41 He is nominated again. And the nominees for the 17th best quarterback of the year of 2025 are Geno Smith, Dak Prescott,

Speaker 41 Daniel Jones, Joe Flacco,

Speaker 41 Kyler Murray, Bryce Young, Tua.

Speaker 41 And Sam Darnold.

Speaker 63 Great pack.

Speaker 41 Great pack of nominees this year. And we have a special video over the 17th best quarterback of the year award.

Speaker 99 Excited for this. Excited for this.

Speaker 144 I heard

Speaker 145 PFT and Max talking about Takeys.

Speaker 144 Yeah.

Speaker 145 College football top personality.

Speaker 76 What do you beat on Andy Staples?

Speaker 76 Dave's not weighing it. No Cornelli.

Speaker 145 Big Cas really impressed.

Speaker 145 This is a bit.

Speaker 76 What are you doing?

Speaker 76 One.

Speaker 144 have you been sent here?

Speaker 145 I only sent myself. I overheard Max and PFT talking 17 minutes ago.
Why do you know 17 minutes?

Speaker 76 CJ, do you agree he's been weird?

Speaker 76 I feel like Martin's always been kind of weird.

Speaker 145 I guess speaking of 17,

Speaker 145 Dak Prescott finished eighth in the 17th best quarterback award takeie.

Speaker 76 So that's pretty cool.

Speaker 47 What are you doing?

Speaker 76 Why are you telling me the results of the tanks?

Speaker 145 Because I'm an informant.

Speaker 145 And I support you.

Speaker 76 I look out for you.

Speaker 124 How long have you been here?

Speaker 137 Right here. No, no, no.
How long have you been here?

Speaker 76 November.

Speaker 145 I've had December 2023. And you've been my greatest ally.

Speaker 76 You've never informed me of anything before.

Speaker 144 That's untrue.

Speaker 145 Last week I gave you roughness info.

Speaker 145 That's just because I was ignoring the group chat.

Speaker 140 Yeah.

Speaker 145 I tell you things here and there.

Speaker 75 He didn't announce a winner.

Speaker 10 He didn't didn't announce a winner.

Speaker 41 That was quite a conversation. It was a nice peek behind the scenes.

Speaker 95 Peek into the air.

Speaker 41 And for everybody that says Brandon Walker, he's different. He plays a character when he's on the air, I think that's a pretty good conclusion that he's not.
That was good.

Speaker 41 But the winner of the 17th best quarterback of the year is Geno Smith.

Speaker 10 Oh, Geno!

Speaker 52 Geno did it. Let's go.

Speaker 41 StratzDak did finish in eighth place.

Speaker 103 Okay.

Speaker 65 So something to show

Speaker 41 for next year.

Speaker 65 Very close.

Speaker 51 Okay, next up.

Speaker 34 Congratulations, Geno Smith.

Speaker 16 Next up, we have the Can't Win the Big One

Speaker 28 of the Year

Speaker 9 Award.

Speaker 68 I said that wrong.

Speaker 108 Can't win the big one.

Speaker 41 No, it's the Can't Win the Big One Award of the Year.

Speaker 67 Award of the Year.

Speaker 134 The nominees are

Speaker 24 Caitlin Clark. Can't win the big one.
Cannot win the big one.

Speaker 114 Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 108 Didn't win the big one. If we're doing this year, he can't win the big one.

Speaker 41 What have you done for me lately?

Speaker 51 Connor McDavid

Speaker 35 has not been able to win the big one.

Speaker 30 Sadly.

Speaker 95 And Arch Manning, Texas quarterback.

Speaker 41 Yeah, did you see that his grandfather signs all his texts to him?

Speaker 117 Archie? Oh.

Speaker 41 After every text that he writes, that's cute. I thought that was nice.
That's very cute.

Speaker 90 We have a guest presenter for the Can't Win the Big One of the Year award.

Speaker 54 Max, can we bring in our guest presenter?

Speaker 148 It's time for the takies.

Speaker 98 And I'm here to announce a big award for for Big Cat, you know?

Speaker 148 And it's the award for

Speaker 98 choking in a big game.

Speaker 116 Choking on the spotlight.

Speaker 33 Yes, that's right.

Speaker 98 The guy who can't win the big one. And whoo!

Speaker 40 Slam poetry.

Speaker 98 You know, you just can't win a big one. Best player, but can't win the big one.

Speaker 148 Great irregular season, but can't win the big one.

Speaker 98 Booked him on campus. And there's only one person that could be Connor McDavid.

Speaker 10 Oh,

Speaker 47 Connor, Connor.

Speaker 98 Always the bridesmaid, but never the bride.

Speaker 33 As he watched the

Speaker 98 Panthers once again go for a victory ride, as Lord Stanley continues to bask in the sun of Florida and the Oilers just wallow, wallow, wallow. Ah, yes, Connor McDavid.

Speaker 98 Once again,

Speaker 98 he can't win the big one.

Speaker 98 And Wit,

Speaker 119 oh, well.

Speaker 43 Just think.

Speaker 98 Wit wins no matter what. One of his teams wins the Stanley Cup.
I know he liked being in Edmonton, what he liked being in Florida, but

Speaker 98 Connor McDavid just can't win the big one.

Speaker 116 And he gets the takey.

Speaker 98 Well, that's something he got. He won the takey.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 98 But he can't big one.

Speaker 98 Can't big one. Way to go, Connor.

Speaker 106 Way to go. A couple things.

Speaker 51 Thank you to Frank.

Speaker 84 I booked that cameo.

Speaker 107 You can go book Frank the Tank on cameo.

Speaker 142 I was able to secure that.

Speaker 83 I just thought of the idea we should, we should, this might be mean, but like, what if we did a hidden camera and we rewired Frank's house for the clap on, clap off lights?

Speaker 41 That would be such a good prank, yeah.

Speaker 41 Yeah, put it to his blender.

Speaker 37 Also, for this award, it's Groundhog's Day because he did win this last year.

Speaker 36 And it's also Groundhog's Day because for two years in a row, I asked our good friend Ryan Whitney to be the guest presenter and he declined to the point where I actually called him and I was like, hey, I have a favor to ask for you.

Speaker 133 And I asked him and he was like, dude, you asked me this last year.

Speaker 39 I said, no. I was like, oh, fuck.

Speaker 77 Yeah. I just forgot.

Speaker 69 He just keeps not winning the big one.

Speaker 41 Well, this is a big one, but it's not the big one. Yeah.
Right? So he can't win the big one. Maybe until he gets traded.
Maybe until he's a free agent and he signs with an American team. Yeah.

Speaker 41 Maybe then he'll be able to win the big one.

Speaker 43 Yeah.

Speaker 30 Whitney did say that if they don't get to the finals next year, he will

Speaker 23 guest present for the Can't Win the Big One award.

Speaker 41 If they don't even get to the finals.

Speaker 66 If they don't get to the finals.

Speaker 41 I mean, they're going to get to the finals again.

Speaker 22 They might, they might, they might not.

Speaker 22 Okay.

Speaker 37 We ready for our next award? Yes.

Speaker 25 You might have someone on who can actually accept this award.

Speaker 41 So this is a very special new award, never given out before in the history of Part of My My Take. It is the Part of My Take Citizen of the Year Award.

Speaker 41 And this is maybe the biggest honor that we give out. Yes.
Because it means that you've gone above and beyond as a citizen. And we have some great nominees.

Speaker 41 We have Paul Bissinette, our great friend, for taking the defense of all the staff at the restaurant, getting into a fight with the Irish travelers, and

Speaker 41 kind of getting bootfucked in the face outside the CVS. Yep.

Speaker 41 We have Steph Curry nominated for Citizen of the Year Year for his performance in the Olympics, delivering the gold medal to the United States of America in the gold medal game. Yep.
Great game.

Speaker 41 Good job, Steph. We have Bonnie Blue nominated for a citizen of the year.

Speaker 50 Why?

Speaker 41 I'm not sure. That was not my addition to the nominee list.
Okay. But she's made a lot of people very happy.
Yep.

Speaker 8 It's about community service. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 51 She serves the community.

Speaker 41 It's C-U-M-M

Speaker 41 Idity service. We have the Saints Defense has been nominated for Citizen of the Year for giving Mike Evans 10 more yards on the last catch of the season.
Oh, wow.

Speaker 41 And letting him continue the streak of 1,000-yard seasons. Okay.
Okay. A lot of good nominees.

Speaker 41 And this year, the Citizen of the Year Award

Speaker 41 goes to

Speaker 41 our dear, dear friend, Paul Bissinette.

Speaker 113 Yes.

Speaker 100 Let's let him in.

Speaker 150 We have Paul Bissinette here.

Speaker 41 Thank you for your service, Paul.

Speaker 41 Congratulations.

Speaker 128 Guys, I didn't realize it was this intense.

Speaker 51 We have Paul Bissonette here. He has won Citizen of the Year.

Speaker 51 Congratulations, Paul.

Speaker 58 You are Citizen of the Year for the 2025 Takeies.

Speaker 128 Well, you know, you mentioned yesterday via text I thought that was going to happen. And you gave it to me originally.
I didn't realize you guys had an annual award show for it.

Speaker 128 And I remember like gambling it away. Remember, I was trying to promote gambling, which I suck at.

Speaker 128 And I put it on the, I believe, the Nordre Dame Fighting Irish QB to pass for a certain amount of touchdowns, a certain certain amount of yards.

Speaker 128 I think it was a three-leg parlay, and I don't think one of them hit. So I completely mushed the fighting Irish.
So I thought I actually lost Citizen of the Year. No,

Speaker 9 my hand.

Speaker 147 Gave it right back to you.

Speaker 49 Yeah.

Speaker 128 Okay. Despite my horrible gambling efforts and trying to draw attention to DraftKings, I still get to retain the award.
So

Speaker 128 if I have to, do I have to give an

Speaker 51 oh, yeah, speech, please, please, please.

Speaker 128 I just thank the people at Barstool, man. What a company to work for.

Speaker 128 Just, yeah, I'm just grateful to be a part of this crazy pirate ship, obviously you guys included. And, yeah, I'll dedicate it back to Barstool.

Speaker 121 Okay,

Speaker 9 what about the people of Houston's?

Speaker 51 Yeah, what about the people of Houston's to find staff, fine family establishment?

Speaker 128 Well, that's a given.

Speaker 128 I thought I said that very clearly in my post-game comments when through the officer body cams, where I fully tire pump the staff and saying it's one of the best restaurant establishments on the the planet.

Speaker 128 As far as like price point, consistency, the way they handle the efforts, people told me that I was wrong in saying it was like

Speaker 128 military-like.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 10 Or did I say that?

Speaker 41 Militaristic? I think you said militaristic, but I think you're referring to their discipline.

Speaker 128 The discipline. Yeah.
And I just marvel at it. And it's why I frequent there.

Speaker 128 And especially at the end of playoffs when I was like completely gassed, like going 10 months to full season where the last thing I want to do is cook or do groceries.

Speaker 128 Like, guys, I was going there like nine times a week.

Speaker 128 I think I have a Houston's addiction.

Speaker 41 Well, yeah, you stopped going there, and then you got gout. What does that teach you?

Speaker 151 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 128 So I would always get the steak there, the filet. I would do the traditional salad and then, and then followed up with the fillet with the potato calcone or sometimes the baked potato.

Speaker 128 Sometimes I'd go to the rice if it wasn't a certain time where they made the calcone or baked potato available. I think that's before five o'clock.

Speaker 113 But yeah, what a speech.

Speaker 128 But going back to it, I think there were other elements that were

Speaker 128 hurting my gout. I read something recently that like glucose intake has a lot to do with it, where I don't drink alcohol anymore, but like my treat is I drink pops.

Speaker 128 Maybe a couple pops a day. And I was shocked, though, that, you know, even at 40, I wouldn't be able to do at least a couple Coca-Cola's.
People told me to go to Diet Coke. I fucking hate Diet Coke.

Speaker 128 So, but I've cut out pop. I've cut out a lot of sodium intake, and I think it just kind of brings it all back to Houston's.
They saved my life.

Speaker 49 Yeah, I think they saved my life.

Speaker 41 I admire how the links that you're willing to go to to say that it's not the two steaks a day that cause the gout. It's got to be something else.
Yeah.

Speaker 128 Well, I've been threatened by the carnivore society. Yeah.
If I blame it on red meat.

Speaker 143 It's a bad society to get threatened.

Speaker 128 I'll have a fucking red dot on my forehead if I blame the red meat.

Speaker 47 That way.

Speaker 24 I'll get sniped.

Speaker 128 I'm in Jackson, Wyoming right now. The last thing I'm going to do is blame

Speaker 128 steak or any type of red meat to blame for anything.

Speaker 9 That's smart.

Speaker 128 They're hardcore out here.

Speaker 113 That's smart.

Speaker 51 Well, Biz, citizen of the year, incredible title.

Speaker 54 You mentioned at the beginning here, you've never seen a takeies.

Speaker 56 You didn't know we were doing this every year.

Speaker 30 This is our ninth annual takeies.

Speaker 9 Did you want to stick around for just one more award just so you can see how it goes?

Speaker 128 I would love to. Okay, I was also going to ask you guys quickly, though, you got to go to that golf tournament in Tahoe.
Like, that must have been an unreal experience. Shout out to Joe Pavelski.

Speaker 75 Yes,

Speaker 75 Badger.

Speaker 128 He's a Wisconsin. Badger.
One of the most well-liked guys to play the game.

Speaker 128 And I would probably say top 10 who never won a Stanley Cup where people, even from other teams who rooted for other teams, would say, ah, I wish Pavelski would have got one.

Speaker 128 I wish Joe Thornton would have got one.

Speaker 128 Ovie would have been on that list if he wouldn't have won one, but he did.

Speaker 62 Maybe next year we'll do a takeie for giving away a Stanley Cup.

Speaker 41 That's very nice. Yeah.

Speaker 41 Yeah. That's great, Paul.
I also think it was a big win for the NHL over the NBA to have Pavelski beat Steph Curry. Yes.
That's huge for the sport.

Speaker 128 Big hockey's on the rise, man.

Speaker 9 Hockey's on the rise.

Speaker 10 It's on the rise.

Speaker 128 Hockey's on a heater, as we always say on the podcast, the last two years. And on top of that, boys, we're heading into an Olympic year.
Yeah. All this Four Nations nonsense, whole nonsense.

Speaker 8 Yeah. Stakes are going to be added.

Speaker 75 Yeah, they are.

Speaker 51 All right.

Speaker 60 So, Biz, you're going to stick around for this next award.

Speaker 51 Can you maybe do whatever the award ends up being?

Speaker 100 Can you do an acceptance speech for that?

Speaker 142 Because that was such a great acceptance speech for Sins of the Year.

Speaker 42 All right, great.

Speaker 51 All right, so the next award is Exhibition Win of the Year.

Speaker 102 So this is

Speaker 51 who had the best win in an exhibition game that ultimately did not matter.

Speaker 41 One that was just kind of for fun. Yeah.
Laughs. Yeah.
And nobody took too much. Who the fuck cares?

Speaker 47 Okay. Right.

Speaker 10 No one remembers.

Speaker 128 Who doesn't even remember an exhibition game?

Speaker 152 Right.

Speaker 61 So, like, we want to let everyone know, like, hey, these wins, like, hey, this was the best exhibition win.

Speaker 29 It doesn't really matter at all, but we're giving a takeie.

Speaker 51 All right, so the nominees are Shaq OGs in the NBA All-Star game.

Speaker 33 Huge win for Shaq OGs.

Speaker 41 What an exciting game that was. Who could forget? I think there were four teams.
Yeah. And they emerged the champion.
Yeah. I mean, it's like March Madness, but

Speaker 41 for the NBA, it was an incredible experience. And I think we all remember where we were when Shaq's OGs won.
Yep.

Speaker 128 What was the final score?

Speaker 153 No, no.

Speaker 43 No, no. Don't care.

Speaker 128 Geez, isn't that an important detail about this award?

Speaker 10 Well, this is the exhibition of the year.

Speaker 107 It's the game that literally does not matter.

Speaker 128 Okay. Yeah.
You guys also said that about the Four Nations.

Speaker 10 Okay, so here we go.

Speaker 51 Next up, we have Team Manning in the Pro Bowl.

Speaker 108 Team Manning won the Pro Bowl.

Speaker 22 I don't know which Manning it was.

Speaker 10 If it was Peyton or Eli.

Speaker 82 Yeah, I see.

Speaker 41 I think it was Cooper.

Speaker 51 Next up, we have Mexico versus U.S. Mexico won that game in the CONCACAF final exhibition of the year.
And then finally, the last last nominee is Team Canada in the Four Nations.

Speaker 51 And the winner is Team Canada in the Four Nations.

Speaker 41 That was a great exhibition match.

Speaker 51 All right, and Bish, you promised that you do an acceptance speech, so accept the award of Exhibition of the Year for Team Canada.

Speaker 128 I actually was, I kind of was ahead of the antsy days.

Speaker 47 Saw it coming.

Speaker 135 Caught on after Team Manning, you caught on.

Speaker 128 That might have been the smartest thing that's ever happened.

Speaker 110 Like,

Speaker 128 It ain't the Olympics.

Speaker 61 We all know that.

Speaker 128 But don't act like they weren't playing for something. They were playing for pride.

Speaker 51 They were playing for exhibition win of the year, which they got.

Speaker 38 So accept the award. Do you accept?

Speaker 49 I decline. No!

Speaker 10 I decline.

Speaker 118 I decline.

Speaker 150 Biz Idiot is gone. Biz Idiot is gone.

Speaker 41 So by declining that award, you're admitting that Connor McDavid can't win the big one.

Speaker 41 Because you just said that's, I'm not accepting it, exhibit, blah, blah, blah. It's not a big one.
Oh.

Speaker 128 Double jumping. I have a phone of friend here.

Speaker 41 I'm trying to do a really nice thing by acknowledging the beautiful, beautiful state of Canada.

Speaker 143 Phone a friend.

Speaker 128 Should I call Conor McDavid, even though he would never?

Speaker 110 I can try.

Speaker 128 He's like, oh, I thought I had your number blocked.

Speaker 137 Okay.

Speaker 137 Gotta go.

Speaker 128 Oh, he supplied me with all my weed at the writer cup. Oh, my God, dude.
I couldn't even fucking think straight there.

Speaker 75 Nope, that's not it. I just said it to you.

Speaker 49 Okay, thank you.

Speaker 128 Thank you for your patience.

Speaker 128 And what's the question?

Speaker 51 Do you accept the exhibition

Speaker 95 win of the year take on behalf of Canada?

Speaker 124 Aldi.

Speaker 128 Aldi, it's Biz.

Speaker 128 So I'm being presented an award right now

Speaker 128 on behalf of Canada. I have to accept on behalf of Canada.
Keep in mind, this may or may not be a trap, okay? Just keep that in mind before I ask it.

Speaker 128 Would you accept an exhibition win of the year on behalf of Canada in the Four Nations tournament?

Speaker 128 An exhibition win? Yes, exhibition win of the year.

Speaker 128 If you were being offered that award, would you accept on behalf of Canada or would you decline?

Speaker 125 I think you got to say yes on that. Yep.
Pump the boys' wheels. Got to go.
Busy, busy. No, I don't know.

Speaker 125 Or what do you say? Do you say no? I think you say yes, biz.

Speaker 110 You got to go. You got to say yes.

Speaker 8 No, but you got to go.

Speaker 8 I don't even know what you

Speaker 128 because I decline because I feel like they're trying to discredit the victory that Canada had by calling it exhibition. It wasn't exhibition.
The boys were playing for keeps. So fuck you.

Speaker 128 We were playing for keeps. This is not an exhibition.
I'm declining.

Speaker 140 Oh, an exhibition game. Oh, yeah, no.
We're in the off-star.

Speaker 125 No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It wasn't an all-star game.
It wasn't an all-star game. It was a Four Nations Cup that four competitive hockey teams played to their best ability.

Speaker 143 That's right, Russia.

Speaker 125 That team Canada won the Four Nations Cup. That's what that was.
It was not an exhibition. It was not an exhibition.
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 125 I thought they were saying, like, give a little grief a little award for this. No, no, no, I don't think so at all.

Speaker 128 I agree with you. And thank you for being there.

Speaker 124 That's off the rocker, Paul.

Speaker 140 That's off their rocker, Paul.

Speaker 128 So on behalf of Old V.

Speaker 125 I'm excited because I said an award. I just heard award.

Speaker 137 I never got awards.

Speaker 125 I've seen everyone in my life get awards around me my entire life, but I'm not an award guy.

Speaker 128 That's why I asked if I could phone a friend, and you were the second person I thought of. Who did I say originally?

Speaker 2 Connor McDavid.

Speaker 128 Oh, I said Conor McDavid, but I knew that he wouldn't answer.

Speaker 125 Yeah, you can't be, you can't be doing that. I was just literally cleaning the cabin air filter in my little whip here, Honda.
And all of a sudden, my daughter's youngest with me.

Speaker 125 She's like, Yeah, dad, your phone's ringing. I said, okay.
She's like, okay, I'll answer it. I'm going to see who it is.
And she grabs them. I said, who is it anyway?

Speaker 125 Who's cooking with us? She goes, it's Biz. And I said, gotta go.
Pass the phone.

Speaker 140 You're not answering this when I go.

Speaker 10 All right, well,

Speaker 128 I love you too, buddy. Great seeing you at the Writer Cup.

Speaker 128 I couldn't fucking see straight for a few days. I don't know what you brought over there.
We were hitting straight gas, but I appreciate you, brother.

Speaker 125 Whenever the boys buzzed over there for the barn for us, going for the little mission for us, so that was beauty. But yeah, that was an absolute light show.

Speaker 125 That was a good rip rip and a half it's always good it's always good during the day but it's even better at night just hanging with the boys real deal talking it out having a class with the boys pumping and grinding right that's what it's about pumping and grinding baby i love you good good to see you biz good to see you buddy love you

Speaker 51 all right so so we declined we declined all right so that was perfect because that was uh canada's two greatest minds coming together trying to work out a puzzle trying to work out a two-piece puzzle to figure out if they should accept the exhibition of the year award or not.

Speaker 41 Biz, what do you call it in the NHL when it's like halfway through the season and you take a week off before you get back for the second half and the playoff push? What's that called?

Speaker 128 Oh, just, I mean, like all-star breaking.

Speaker 143 Oh, so it was the all-star game.

Speaker 41 Okay, so it was the all-star game.

Speaker 75 Gotcha. Okay.

Speaker 128 No, they canceled that and then now they replaced it. And then now they actually canceled next year's in Long Island.

Speaker 128 And then that's why people think that the Islanders got the first overall pick as like a sorry because I think that was part of the agreement for them to take state-funded money to help build the arena.

Speaker 128 So

Speaker 128 I love a tinfoil hat conspiracy just as much as the next guy. So shout out to Matthew Schaefer and the Islanders, man.

Speaker 128 He was on our podcast. The kid carved me for $45.
Yeah, he was great. He was great.

Speaker 154 So I don't think you need a merge job.

Speaker 128 Frankie Borrelli and the Islanders.

Speaker 128 I might hop on the wagon with the fisherman.

Speaker 118 All right.

Speaker 51 Biz, thank you.

Speaker 51 Official scoring. He is accepted Citizen of the Year.
He has declined Exhibition Win of the Year.

Speaker 130 Appreciate you.

Speaker 2 We love you.

Speaker 34 And congrats on Citizen of the Year.

Speaker 128 Love you, boys. That was awesome.

Speaker 118 Okay,

Speaker 71 what an award that was.

Speaker 30 I mean,

Speaker 41 very un-Canadian to decline an award.

Speaker 54 So we have the official scoring.

Speaker 60 Citizen of the Year award has been accepted and the Exhibition Win of the Year award has been declined.

Speaker 54 But we are giving it to Canada, so it will just...

Speaker 66 it will just stay out in the open.

Speaker 41 I guess we'll keep it. Yeah.
Hang on to it for them. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 33 So did we win Four Nations?

Speaker 41 Yeah, congratulations to us.

Speaker 110 Congratulations to to us.

Speaker 16 All right.

Speaker 139 That was so funny, just Biz and Oldie.

Speaker 77 Like,

Speaker 139 I could watch them.

Speaker 59 We got to get them in an escape room.

Speaker 41 A reality show together. Holy shit.
Yeah, if they were on. Talking it out.
If they were on an amazing race together, trying to navigate their way across Florida.

Speaker 67 Oldie just saying, I heard the word award and I blacked out.

Speaker 41 He's never been an award guy.

Speaker 92 He's never been an award.

Speaker 82 Everyone else sweated him around him.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 22 Not him.

Speaker 126 If you thought Goldenly Bread and McDonald's chicken couldn't get more golden, think golden.

Speaker 155 Because new sweet and smoky special edition gold sauce is here.

Speaker 127 Made for your chicken favorites.

Speaker 64 I participating McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 142 Okay, PFT, are you up?

Speaker 41 I am, yes. Another award.

Speaker 41 And the winner of the I Can't Believe They Put All That In Their Mouth of the Year award is RG3, Robert Griffin III.

Speaker 150 Congratulations.

Speaker 41 Just enjoying a nice croissant on the balcony with his lovely wife, Greta.

Speaker 21 Still an outrageous.

Speaker 89 I think if we look back at that picture,

Speaker 87 it's the cupping of the croissant balls.

Speaker 41 It's the cupping, it's the passion in his eyes, too.

Speaker 10 Yeah, the mouthful, the cupping.

Speaker 77 It's everything. He felt it.

Speaker 63 He felt it.

Speaker 23 I've never done anything weird with my cats.

Speaker 21 I promised myself I wasn't going to make apology videos after last year's thing.

Speaker 19 So I'm just trying to be as short and honest with this as possible.

Speaker 36 But just in case you didn't get what I said, I did not have sex with my cat.

Speaker 41 The Streisand effect.

Speaker 67 Yes, he is the Ratio of the Year forever winner.

Speaker 37 So, Ratio of the Year, nominees, we have Representative Josh Williams from Ohio, who said, I am proud to introduce the OHOIO

Speaker 104 sportsmanship act to make flag planting at midfield a felony in the state of Ohio behavior that incites violent brawls and puts our law enforcement officers in danger has no place on the football field this got 16.4 million views 32,000 replies

Speaker 53 for this this take after Michigan won at the shoe and then decided to plant the flag.

Speaker 41 Back in the day, we used to build statues of guys planting flags at midfield.

Speaker 25 That's a fact.

Speaker 57 That's a fact. We have the Hollywood Reporter Hollywood meet your new A-list from

Speaker 58 staggeringly talented TikTokers to the Instagram stars we can't look away from.

Speaker 96 These are the names who will and should be dominating the business of new and old media.

Speaker 91 And it's just a picture of a bunch of TikTokers.

Speaker 55 I can't name any of them except I think Brianna's in there.

Speaker 41 Maybe Josh Richards. Rizzler?

Speaker 55 Rizzler's not in there.

Speaker 41 Oh, that's a bullshit list.

Speaker 31 25,000 retweets, probably all of them quote tweets, and 7,000 replies.

Speaker 160 Pretty good.

Speaker 48 7,000 replies.

Speaker 53 We have

Speaker 37 Katy Perry.

Speaker 95 When it was announced that Katy Perry had donated all the revenue she has made from her album 143 to the victims of the California Fire.

Speaker 3 She was quote tweeted by Liam Fenty, the wildfire victims, and it's a clip from the hit movie Super Bad, which is, I'm going to play the clip real quick.

Speaker 145 Are you fucking serious?

Speaker 158 Seven bucks?

Speaker 34 Yep, so that was a big-time ratio.

Speaker 130 The quote tweet ratio always hurts.

Speaker 30 Tyrese Halliburton, who Ben Stiller said

Speaker 5 during the Knicks Pacers series,

Speaker 30 Tyrese Halliburton said, Howie pulled up to Game Six in all black fit.

Speaker 83 Ben Stiller said, good thing he brought his duffel for the flight to New York for what he was alluding to as Game Seven.

Speaker 104 And Tyrese Halliburton said, nah, was to pack y'all up.

Speaker 68 And that one ratioed the fuck out of Ben Stiller. Packed him up.

Speaker 24 Packed him up.

Speaker 53 And then finally, our last nominee is Kevin Durant

Speaker 69 replying to Emmanuel Acho when Emmanuel Acho had his legacy formula.

Speaker 19 And Kevin Durant, so the legacy formula was championships one divided by teams played forward equals player legacy.

Speaker 3 So Steph has a 4.0, Braun has a 1.3, and KD has a 0.4 legacy rating.

Speaker 89 Yep.

Speaker 30 Kevin Durant replied, according to the great Kevin Durant's legacy formula that was created in the best labs at MIT, Emmanuel is the worst linebacker of all time.

Speaker 27 You sure want to listen to this guy about greatness.

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 41 I think that we should have an award for equation of the year. Yeah.
The legacy ratio has changed the way that sports talk is done.

Speaker 21 He had 73,000 likes compared to Emmanuel Acho's 10,000.

Speaker 41 Really good.

Speaker 56 Okay, and the winner is

Speaker 114 Kevin Durant. Yeah.

Speaker 10 Good job, David.

Speaker 51 Kevin Durant for his legacy formula, formulated the Kevin Durant legacy formula that was created in the best labs at MIT, and he ratioed the fuck out of Emmanuel Acho.

Speaker 41 In the great words of Kevin Durant, there's no relax, champ. No relax when I'm on Twitter.
I'm on 10 until the second I close the app. You relax.
Love it. Love it.

Speaker 20 So congratulations, Kevin Durant.

Speaker 156 Please come on the show to accept your award.

Speaker 41 Next up, we have the AI Video of the Year award. Now, some of these might be controversial because we're still not 100% sure on if they were AI or not.

Speaker 41 The first nominee for AI Video of the Year goes to the kangaroo trying to get on the airplane. Oh.
The emotional support kangaroo.

Speaker 10 I remember that one.

Speaker 75 Lil Joey.

Speaker 41 Hank thought it it was real.

Speaker 99 So did you.

Speaker 41 The next nominee.

Speaker 41 The whale is being cleaned off by heavy machinery. Heavy machinery.
Heavy machinery.

Speaker 4 Heaviest machinery.

Speaker 41 Full-on crop dusting. Whales are huge.

Speaker 41 So it made sense. And stable.

Speaker 124 Yeah. And stable.

Speaker 143 The power washing of whales.

Speaker 41 The dog diving video that we all saw and love.

Speaker 40 I think I tweeted this one too.

Speaker 21 Well, I tweeted at you and said, is this real?

Speaker 41 The dog weightlifting video from the Olympics. I did not see that live when it happened, but it was an incredible display of strength from the dogs.
Correct.

Speaker 41 And then the lady diving and sinking an entire boat has been nominated. She's actually been doing that a lot.
It happens over and over again. If you see that lady coming, you're on your boat,

Speaker 41 you tug the other way.

Speaker 8 Almost every day.

Speaker 41 And Hank, we have a guest presenter for this?

Speaker 40 Very special guest presenter. Okay.

Speaker 40 I alluded to it earlier in the show. Is it Mayor Peter?

Speaker 40 Nope.

Speaker 34 Was that AI?

Speaker 120 No, that's real.

Speaker 149 Hey, everybody. Tom Brady here, seven-time Super Bowl champ.
And apparently now, take you presenter. Life comes at you fast.
First off, big shout out to my guy, Hank. I know you're a massive fan.

Speaker 149 I appreciate the support over the years,

Speaker 149 even when it borderlines on obsession. And don't worry, Hank, I'm going to come on the show eventually, right after you figure out how the internet works.

Speaker 149 Seriously, how many times is this going to happen, man? Send me a text. Brady, look at this kangaroo getting on a plane.

Speaker 119 Hank, buddy. Oh, you text him?

Speaker 149 That thing thing is faker than my retirement for the first time. You know who else isn't getting on a plane anytime soon? Tiffany Gomez.
Bing bong, Hanky.

Speaker 149 All right, let's get to it. The nominees for AI video of the year are the dog diving in the Olympics video,

Speaker 149 the kangaroo boarding the airplane video,

Speaker 149 and the whale barnacle cleaning video.

Speaker 149 All incredibly fake, all incredibly watched by Hank multiple times.

Speaker 149 And the takeie goes to

Speaker 149 the whale AI video.

Speaker 149 Congrats to everyone who contributed to that beautifully fabricated undersea lie. Enjoy the rest of the takeies.

Speaker 149 And Hank, seriously, if it's M4K and makes you say no way, it's probably not real, Champ.

Speaker 10 Wow. Thank you, Tom.

Speaker 40 Thank you, Tom.

Speaker 72 That's incredible.

Speaker 40 Incredible. He's going to come on.
That was really cool.

Speaker 106 He texted you.

Speaker 41 Why haven't you asked him on text?

Speaker 40 I have many times. Okay.

Speaker 22 Okay.

Speaker 54 Before we do the next Takey Award PFT.

Speaker 127 Now in theaters, Spinal Tap is back. Time to make some noise.

Speaker 73 He sneezed himself into a plebeians. Spinal Tap 2

Speaker 47 continues.

Speaker 161 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 161 Only one Reese's peanut butter lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 161 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 161 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.

Speaker 73 Security was called.

Speaker 51 And then finally, Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul. Remember that fight?

Speaker 137 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 41 That was awesome. I kind of.
I kind of remember that.

Speaker 57 It was on Netflix.

Speaker 55 Yeah, Jake Paul has basically spent nine rounds being like, I don't want to hurt Mike Tyson.

Speaker 34 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 84 Great fight.

Speaker 135 The winner of the fight of the year

Speaker 31 for the 2025

Speaker 111 Takey Awards is Nick Tarnasky.

Speaker 139 It was the best. It was the best.

Speaker 138 Okay, PFT, you have our next award.

Speaker 41 The next award goes to the GM of the year.

Speaker 41 The General Manager of the Year award nominees are Brick Johnson, General Manager of the New York Jets.

Speaker 90 Nico Harrison.

Speaker 5 Remember when he GM'd?

Speaker 41 I do remember. Via Madden.
Incredible. Nico Harrison, general manager of the Dallas Mavericks, pulled off the trade of the year.

Speaker 24 He got the number one pick.

Speaker 41 Got the number one pick. Cooper Flag, A.D.
Now I'm hearing Braun wants to go there. What an exciting movement that would be.

Speaker 41 Joe Schoen from the New York Giants.

Speaker 66 Ooh, yeah.

Speaker 41 For not being able to sleep at night anymore and still GMing.

Speaker 133 Yeah, having Saquon Barkley have a career year right in his face, right in his division, and then win a Super Bowl title.

Speaker 41 Rob Palinka from the Los Angeles Lakers for accepting a meeting with Nico Nico Harrison and saying, yes, please, thank you.

Speaker 154 Yes.

Speaker 41 And then Joe Dumars from the New Orleans Pelicans. He's just been an all-around great GM.
Yep. The General Manager of the Year for 2025 award goes to

Speaker 41 Nico Harrison. Wow.
Securing the number one overall pick, Cooper flag, the future of the draft, and getting rid of some guy.

Speaker 40 He wasn't that good.

Speaker 41 Yeah.

Speaker 35 I forget who it was. Fuck Nico Harrison.

Speaker 9 But also.

Speaker 40 I think how unbiased the committee is. Yeah, very unbiased.

Speaker 41 I also think that Brick Johnson got hosed on this. He did.
It probably should. Should we give it a Brick Johnson?

Speaker 62 Yeah, let's give it a Brick Johnson.

Speaker 41 Brick Johnson gets on.

Speaker 60 Nico Harrison. Ha ha, motherfucker.

Speaker 62 We're Brick guys.

Speaker 63 We punked you.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 25 Nico, I can't wait to see Nico's face when he's listening to this show and he thinks he won and then he didn't.

Speaker 41 Hey, Nico, trade proposal. You get the General Manager of the Year award and then you have to give it back.

Speaker 105 Ha!

Speaker 41 You receive nothing.

Speaker 95 Absolutely nothing.

Speaker 34 Brick Johnson deserves this.

Speaker 41 He does.

Speaker 95 I mean, whenever you can be a GM from Madden.

Speaker 41 His name is Brick Johnson.

Speaker 30 His name is Brick Johnson.

Speaker 36 And he's definitely a Stoolee.

Speaker 41 Yes. 100%.

Speaker 97 Okay.

Speaker 34 Next up, we have Injury of the Year. So this is kind of a sad one.

Speaker 76 Yep.

Speaker 30 Don't love celebrating injuries. We don't celebrate.

Speaker 71 Don't root for them.

Speaker 41 We do watch them on repeat.

Speaker 142 Yeah, but there was a lot of injuries this year, so we need to at least talk about them.

Speaker 30 The nominees are Jason Tatum.

Speaker 19 For his torn Achilles. Yeah.

Speaker 104 Any thoughts?

Speaker 40 Minor setback for a major comeback. He's already rehabbing.
He's looking good, working hard.

Speaker 10 Tyrese Halberton for also a torn Achilles.

Speaker 99 Any thoughts? No.

Speaker 78 Okay. Good.
Well said.

Speaker 41 You're in a much better position.

Speaker 29 Yes.

Speaker 115 Well, the ankle, I had an ankle and a foot.

Speaker 71 Which one was the drunk walk?

Speaker 115 The foot was the broken foot was the drunk.

Speaker 35 That's all the same. Funk.

Speaker 65 What was the ankle?

Speaker 115 The ankle was when I was at the AWL's bachelor party.

Speaker 10 Were you drunk?

Speaker 82 So they were both drunk walking.

Speaker 47 I could have been drunk walking.

Speaker 51 And then finally, we have Anthony Richardson for being tired that one time.

Speaker 23 Yep.

Speaker 41 He was very injured.

Speaker 62 Took himself out of the game.

Speaker 51 All right, we have a guest presenter for this award.

Speaker 19 So let's go to it.

Speaker 155 All right, very excited to present the Injury of the Year award at the Pardon My Take 2025 Takeies. I think this is my fourth appearance on Pardon My Take.

Speaker 10 Not quite as many as Jerry, but who's counting?

Speaker 155 No, I'm kidding. I love you, Jerry.
I love you, Jerry. With teammates, you're my guy.
House call this fall. Check it out.
But anyway, Injury of the Year. It's presented to Max Delente.

Speaker 67 Yeah.

Speaker 155 World Series regional runner-up. Never made it to the World Series.

Speaker 106 Might have been a little too heavy.

Speaker 155 Is what it is. Nobody's counting.
Is what it is. They're just kids.
He was a little kid. They're just kids.
Still fat now, but it is what it is.

Speaker 105 Injury of the year.

Speaker 155 Got drunk

Speaker 155 with Jackie tables. No surprise.
Hurt, tripped his foot. You know, hey, some people say it's hard to walk and chew gum at the same time.

Speaker 155 I guess it's hard to have, you know, too many and walk home and make it home safe. You couldn't do that, Max.
No surprise to me.

Speaker 115 But yeah, you and Jackie, maybe find new friends.

Speaker 155 Find yourself hanging out with people who do better for you, push you. But Injury of the Year, Max Delente, your first,

Speaker 155 you know, pretty bad. I think the ankle was tore up a little bit.
Not as bad as you tore up your hero Shane Victorino's sunglasses. What a fucking fumble that was.

Speaker 155 And you're talking to a guy who fumbles. So yeah, Injury of the Year, 2025, Max Delente.
Congratulations. You finally won something.

Speaker 155 You couldn't make it to the Little League World Series, but you took it down. Wait a minute, Max.

Speaker 118 Oh, congratulations, Max.

Speaker 10 Best presenter yet. Erico Bosco.

Speaker 41 He makes a good point, Eurico. He couldn't make it to the World Series, unlike the guys that we all remember, like Big Al, who hit all those dingers in one of the spot.

Speaker 115 No, he was a Little League World Series legend, for sure.

Speaker 77 Absolutely.

Speaker 115 I wish that I could have done that.

Speaker 30 Monet Davis, who won the whole thing.

Speaker 23 Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 65 That's incredible.

Speaker 26 She was the best. She was the best.

Speaker 115 She was the most talented Little League World Series winner ever.

Speaker 10 Ever. Ever.
Ever. Number one.
Yeah.

Speaker 123 Okay.

Speaker 41 Shout out to the umpires there, by the way. They do a great job.
Excellent job.

Speaker 57 Max, do you accept?

Speaker 10 Of course I accept. Love that.

Speaker 115 Yeah, no, it's an honor to win a takeie no matter how you're going to do it.

Speaker 115 I wish I didn't break my foot, but I'm happy that I got some hardware out of it for sure.

Speaker 40 And you never had to do the pitching thing, so it worked out.

Speaker 9 Well,

Speaker 77 I will do the pitching thing.

Speaker 10 Oh, okay.

Speaker 49 Sure. I will.
Sure.

Speaker 115 I've been talking, whatever.

Speaker 120 We don't have to talk about the pitching thing.

Speaker 115 It's not going well, but

Speaker 115 He just kept, he was like, he was like, Big Al didn't make it.

Speaker 10 Big Al didn't make it.

Speaker 52 That's what got distracted.

Speaker 115 That Rico gets mad when people say that Big Al was the easiest.

Speaker 47 Keep all this in.

Speaker 43 Monet Davis.

Speaker 30 We don't run seamlessly here.

Speaker 76 It's been 20 years since then.

Speaker 162 We haven't been too strong in the last few years.

Speaker 104 Love Lee Corso. Still alive.

Speaker 61 Joel and Biede.

Speaker 41 Still alive. Still alive.

Speaker 22 Right?

Speaker 38 He is? Max?

Speaker 115 Yeah, no. There was just a great article that came out on Joel and Biede.

Speaker 124 Okay. Regarding.

Speaker 92 Still alive.

Speaker 72 Being alive?

Speaker 115 Yeah.

Speaker 115 Being alive and thriving.

Speaker 121 Okay.

Speaker 115 And people are mean to him.

Speaker 52 Oh.

Speaker 10 Oh, no.

Speaker 71 And then

Speaker 57 finally, last up, another Philadelphia legend, Bill Cosby.

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 41 Bill Cosby. Yes.

Speaker 66 So the winner, do you have a guest presenter?

Speaker 41 For Still Alive Person of the Year Award, there is a guest presenter.

Speaker 49 Okay.

Speaker 10 Oh, wow.

Speaker 26 This is huge.

Speaker 116 What a gap.

Speaker 127 Death is nothing to joke about.

Speaker 127 The fact that Burton MyTake has this award tells me that they have achieved zero personal growth. I mean, one time I knew a guy that died.
Not funny, but congrats to Bill Cosby.

Speaker 127 He is the winner of Still Alive Person of the Year.

Speaker 38 Wow, that was John Cena.

Speaker 41 John Cena joined us. It is nothing to joke about.
He's right.

Speaker 102 Yeah, but Bill Cosby has won the Still Alive Person of the Year.

Speaker 130 It would be a real shame.

Speaker 41 Fantastic. Good for Bill.
Hope that this award comes with all the trimmings of the past award winners.

Speaker 57 Yes, yes.

Speaker 90 Enjoy it for an entire year or maybe less.

Speaker 101 Or maybe less.

Speaker 40 Maybe less.

Speaker 81 Okay, PFT, you're up.

Speaker 41 Next award is for Pope of the Year. The Pope of the Year award.
The nominees are Mark Pope

Speaker 41 from the University of Kentucky.

Speaker 24 Pope Leo.

Speaker 41 Wow. The American Pope.

Speaker 41 Pope Francis, the not-American Pope.

Speaker 154 Okay.

Speaker 41 Not nominated for still alive person of the year.

Speaker 41 The broken Pope bobblehead that you got as a gift, big cat that got smashed.

Speaker 41 and put back together again.

Speaker 59 Right there, Shane. Shout out to Shane.

Speaker 10 He got me that bobblehead that broke.

Speaker 41 And also nominated Mike Francesa.

Speaker 49 Oh, sports pope.

Speaker 41 Sports Pope. Great job by Mike.
Had a great review of the Superman movie recently. If you haven't checked that out, give it a look.
The winner of the 2025 Pope of the Year Award is

Speaker 92 Pope Leo.

Speaker 79 Wow.

Speaker 92 We got a Pope.

Speaker 41 We got a Pope.

Speaker 122 Dawah.

Speaker 137 Pope.

Speaker 47 Wow, Pope Leo.

Speaker 41 Chicago Pope.

Speaker 47 I kind of wanted him.

Speaker 118 I want him to just talk English more.

Speaker 37 That would be great. Just more viral clips and maybe some tweets from Pope Leo.

Speaker 41 And he definitely watched the hot dog eating contest, right? Absolutely. First Pope to ever do that.

Speaker 77 Absolutely.

Speaker 94 I just would like a little more.

Speaker 10 Just a couple tweets. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Here and there.

Speaker 41 I liked it when the old pope used to accidentally tag the saints. Yeah.
That was always good for a laugh.

Speaker 97 That was great.

Speaker 38 Okay, next up, we have the Just Chill Out Man of the Year award.

Speaker 18 This is a very important award.

Speaker 81 Someone who maybe got a little too excited about something.

Speaker 34 Just chill out, man.

Speaker 41 Just chill.

Speaker 81 We have Daryl Dussette.

Speaker 59 Why is he nominated?

Speaker 93 Memes?

Speaker 138 Daryl Du Set got mad at NFL players trying to participate in flag football.

Speaker 72 Ah, that guy, the quarterback.

Speaker 62 Yes.

Speaker 10 Yes, the quarterback.

Speaker 9 Who could have forgot?

Speaker 114 Who could have forgotten Daryl Doucet?

Speaker 40 Household name.

Speaker 41 He's right, though. Yeah.

Speaker 43 No.

Speaker 41 Patrick Mahomes is nowhere near his level. He's not good at football.

Speaker 55 Mel Kuyper for his takes on Shador Sanders on draft weekend.

Speaker 41 That was good. He almost cried.

Speaker 29 He almost cried.

Speaker 54 We have Elon Musk when he got upset about Trump.

Speaker 41 Yeah, he got upset about the Epstein files. Just chill out.
We already said.

Speaker 57 No one cares. He's innocent.

Speaker 156 Innocent person of the year.

Speaker 19 I don't know if you listen to that part of the show, Elon, but he's innocent person of the year.

Speaker 34 Trevor Ogilvie, the guy who lost the golf fight to Nick Tarnasky.

Speaker 41 I think he may have already received his award.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 64 And then we finally have Jerry O'Connell at the Beck Gala for screaming into Hank's ear, which actually wasn't why Hank lost his hearing.

Speaker 55 It was his ear not popping.

Speaker 121 Yep.

Speaker 40 But he also was rock hard and just thrusting in my face.

Speaker 75 That might come up later.

Speaker 41 Enjoying sports. Hank should be nominated.
Just Chill Out Man of the Year. Your ear was fine.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 10 Okay.

Speaker 59 The winner of the Just Chill Out Man of the Year award is

Speaker 41 Mel Kuyper. Mel, congratulations.
Congratulations. You really laid your emotions out on the line this year.
It was a great bit of television. I hope you've chilled out since then, though.

Speaker 55 Yes, you spent an entire weekend getting upset about Shadora Sanders falling in the draft to the point where, I'll say this: it was great TV.

Speaker 60 I was glued to it.

Speaker 23 I've never been more glued to a fifth round of the NFL draft watching him.

Speaker 124 Oh, breaking news.

Speaker 52 Breaking news. Breaking news.

Speaker 40 Nine-time NBA All-Star Damian Liller is finalizing a three-year $42 million contract to return

Speaker 40 Trailblazers sources tell ESPN.

Speaker 10 Wow. Wow.

Speaker 41 It's coming home.

Speaker 56 That moves the needle 0%.

Speaker 41 This feels like he's retiring. Yeah.
Like he's going to get paid for three years to not really do all that much. Yeah.

Speaker 40 Yeah.

Speaker 40 Three-year $42 million NBA is basically nothing.

Speaker 10 Ashtray Marlowe. Yeah.

Speaker 40 Yeah.

Speaker 120 Tabby's not the Celtics.

Speaker 41 But he's still getting paid by the Bucs, right?

Speaker 113 Yeah. Probably, yeah.

Speaker 41 Yeah, so he didn't need to to get paid that much.

Speaker 49 Yeah. Good for him.

Speaker 40 You're saying that wasn't even breaking moves worthy?

Speaker 103 No, I'm just saying it doesn't.

Speaker 10 Who cares? Yeah.

Speaker 95 Mike Francesa, who cares?

Speaker 41 Yeah, he's just getting paid to go back home.

Speaker 60 Like, I guess maybe the Trailblazers will make the playoffs at least once in his last three years.

Speaker 66 Well, he's not going to play this year, so last two years.

Speaker 88 That would be nice.

Speaker 152 Maybe he'll want, you know what?

Speaker 49 He'll hit one big shot. They're just signing old guys.

Speaker 10 They're just going old.

Speaker 10 He'll hit one big shot.

Speaker 77 Huge.

Speaker 41 The next category for the 2025 takeies: the preemptive take of the year award.

Speaker 83 Okay.

Speaker 41 Preemptive take of the year award. So we're going to go around and we're going to give our preemptive takes.

Speaker 83 This is a take that we will then grade later.

Speaker 25 We don't remember what our takes were last year, but that's okay.

Speaker 89 That's how the show runs.

Speaker 41 Big cat, what is your preemptive take of the year nomination?

Speaker 54 My preemptive take of the year

Speaker 103 in the year 2026, it will be so the back half of the next year's turkeys.

Speaker 33 The tush push will be banned.

Speaker 41 Feels like I'm not saying I want it to be.

Speaker 38 Yep.

Speaker 51 But that is my preemptive take.

Speaker 34 I'm staking my reputation on it.

Speaker 33 I think it will be banned.

Speaker 87 I think that more teams will start complaining.

Speaker 41 And I think that the NFL wants it banned. Yes.
Even though it is a wet dream of a play.

Speaker 23 Yes.

Speaker 51 Max, I am on the side of the tush push.

Speaker 107 I do not want it banned.

Speaker 34 I'm just, this is my preemptive take of the year.

Speaker 115 I just feel like that's not a very hot take. What do you mean?

Speaker 10 We've done it every year.

Speaker 115 Everyone's talking like it's going to come out next year.

Speaker 40 That's a chalky preemptive take.

Speaker 147 Okay.

Speaker 38 Sorry, guys. I didn't know I was going first.

Speaker 107 I had to fucking go fast.

Speaker 29 I'll come back around. It's snake draft.

Speaker 41 You might be right. Yeah, you might be right, though.
Yeah.

Speaker 146 Okay.

Speaker 10 Hank.

Speaker 40 My preemptive take of the year: Shador Sanders

Speaker 40 is going to lead the Cleveland Browns to a wild card spot and make the playoffs.

Speaker 154 Wow.

Speaker 41 That's a good take, Hank. That's a good take.
That's a good take. I appreciate somebody going out there for

Speaker 40 maybe an injury. I think we did it with the NFL schedule release.
I think after like week four, he's not going to start.

Speaker 40 Something's going to happen. Maybe Flacco gets injured.
Shador steps in.

Speaker 40 Leads him to glory. Okay.

Speaker 34 I have a new preemptive take. Okay.

Speaker 67 This is a hot take. All right.

Speaker 36 The Philadelphia 76ers will make it to the Easter Conference Finals.

Speaker 10 Whoa. Wow.

Speaker 22 Now that.

Speaker 29 Is that not crazy?

Speaker 41 Here it is.

Speaker 40 The opposite of Chalk. Yeah.

Speaker 41 Still alive. Yes.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 101 memes

Speaker 138 uh just so we're on record my preemptive take was right last year which was i said the 76ers were going to implode oh

Speaker 10 the trade of ball george you're dead right

Speaker 138 do you know anyone else's uh not off the top of my head

Speaker 138 you just remember that one okay uh so i have an nba or and an nfl one okay go both uh so nba is kind of wild i think nicola jokic is going to force a trade out of denver at the end of the season to the chicago bulls whoa Number one Serbia population in America.

Speaker 138 Wow.

Speaker 10 That's just a wild one.

Speaker 72 I love that.

Speaker 84 And then NFL.

Speaker 7 Fun fact, too.

Speaker 141 That's a fun fact.

Speaker 138 The Washington Commanders are going to miss the playoffs.

Speaker 116 Duh.

Speaker 138 And Jaden Daniels is going to finish dead last out of the 2024 QBs in that draft class.

Speaker 41 You're such a piece of shit, memes. Wow.

Speaker 110 Wow.

Speaker 92 Okay, Matt. It's a good take.
Like,

Speaker 41 I respect you putting your balls out there, memes.

Speaker 40 Thank you. You got a split booth.

Speaker 75 Honestly, like...

Speaker 40 One of them thinks he's going to be

Speaker 40 all-time great. One of them thinks he's going to fall off a cliff.

Speaker 41 Well, I mean, listen, I don't want memes to hear this, so just between the three of us, the fact that he's going after Jayden Daniels like that, kind of racist.

Speaker 41 Kind of racist, memes. We would never say such a thing about Justin Fields.

Speaker 138 You had him as bad question mark.

Speaker 41 Question mark. It was a question.

Speaker 42 We're having a conversation.

Speaker 41 It's a question.

Speaker 10 Douche.

Speaker 115 I read the Joel Ellen Biad article last night, and I went to the DraftKings Sports book to place this preemptive take of the year.

Speaker 119 And then I read a little bit further in this article, and I took it away, the bet away.

Speaker 115 But I will be saying that Joel Embiid will be winning the MVP.

Speaker 72 Wow.

Speaker 50 Wow, MVP.

Speaker 10 Well, that's not really.

Speaker 95 He's won one. He's 70 to 1.

Speaker 38 Has he ever been to the Easter Conference Finals?

Speaker 10 It sounds like mine is a little crazier than yours.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 115 We can look at the odds of that. But then I went back.
I was going to make the bet, and then I went back, and then it says that he will not be returning until he's 100%, and he will not be

Speaker 115 prioritizing the regular season this year, which made me second-guess that take a little bit, but I'm going back to my original idea. It's like when you're

Speaker 115 in school and you're taking a test, you all got to go with your gut. And my gut said that Joel Ellen Biet is going to win MVP this year, and I'm sticking with Joel Ellen Biet will win the MVP.

Speaker 28 Okay.

Speaker 41 I mean, that's a wild take on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Speaker 41 Down year for the East. Yeah, I could see it.
Zach?

Speaker 112 My take is that

Speaker 112 I watch a a lot of Commanders football back home because my mother and my brother are Commanders fans, so we're house divided there.

Speaker 41 Suppose Zach's mom, how are you doing?

Speaker 41 Respectfully, of course. Respectfully, yeah.

Speaker 112 So I do have a lot of fun watching Jaden Daniels play football, and I think that he's going to defy the sophomore slump and have a fantastic season. Love that.

Speaker 41 Got all his guys coming back.

Speaker 51 Are you guys going to say anything about that? That was way chalkier than my take.

Speaker 49 Terry, no, he's right.

Speaker 82 That's a great take. That's crazy.

Speaker 41 Zach, that's an awesome.

Speaker 51 Jaden Daniels is still going to be good?

Speaker 41 Zach's mom knows that. That's crazy.

Speaker 38 Hank, back me up here. That's not a great take, Zach.

Speaker 122 Well, no, it's a good take.

Speaker 41 It's a really good take.

Speaker 40 It's a newcomer of the year, right there.

Speaker 10 It's a good strong take.

Speaker 41 I love it, Zach. We got Fast Debo, probably Terry, probably.

Speaker 41 Sky's the limit.

Speaker 112 He may do it the entire season with a smile on his face.

Speaker 40 He might, yeah. And no.
What about girls? Will he get a girlfriend?

Speaker 10 That would be a hot take.

Speaker 41 There was a video that came out the other day, Hank.

Speaker 75 Yeah.

Speaker 41 I don't know if it's real or not.

Speaker 41 But he was having a good time with Juju.

Speaker 151 Ooh.

Speaker 41 Yeah, real good time.

Speaker 41 Are we like cousins or something? I would like...

Speaker 40 No.

Speaker 41 What, memes?

Speaker 10 What are you laughing about?

Speaker 138 Nothing, nothing. I thought you were going to say he was having a good time at a fast food restaurant with Debo.

Speaker 47 Nope. Nope.

Speaker 41 He was not.

Speaker 121 Okay, yours.

Speaker 124 My take.

Speaker 41 Hey, do you have one?

Speaker 160 I'm kind of scared to say mine because it's in the same vein as last year's.

Speaker 10 Last year,

Speaker 132 we'll remember that.

Speaker 119 Well, I was going to refresh you.

Speaker 41 Last year I said Gus Edwards would lead the league league in rushing touchdowns.

Speaker 160 Okay. And I couldn't have been more wrong.
So I'm going to go Omarian Hampton, Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Speaker 47 What about Najee?

Speaker 53 Don't Nebanai.

Speaker 41 Oh, Nebana. Allegedly.
There's no I in Najee.

Speaker 30 Also, let me just toss him one more preemptive take.

Speaker 56 I think this is the year that Shane's going to start liking onions.

Speaker 69 No.

Speaker 41 He sleeps with an onion.

Speaker 65 Could. That's true.

Speaker 124 Could.

Speaker 91 I want you to storm out so bad.

Speaker 10 All right.

Speaker 41 My preemptive take of 2025, 2026, I truly believe this, by the way. I think that the situation that Caleb Williams is in right now

Speaker 41 is the best situation in the history of second-year quarterbacks. It might be.
In the entire NFL. Think about it.
They short up the offensive line.

Speaker 41 Big weakness from last year, right? Spit. They got rid of Matt Eberflus.
That's good for six wins right there.

Speaker 41 They finally have a GM and a coach that are lined up on the same contract.

Speaker 41 They've got an offensive wizard at head coach who's got a bag that's deeper than the Mariana Trench.

Speaker 49 Oh, bars.

Speaker 41 And he's just a good quarterback.

Speaker 8 He's still got the physical tools.

Speaker 41 The physical tools were there. He had a good season last year.
Statistically, it was okay. Not as bad as many of the haters said that it was.

Speaker 41 This is the best setup possible for a second-year quarterback in the history of the NFL. Do you know what you just did?

Speaker 103 What?

Speaker 133 You just made me almost go to six and a half out of 10.

Speaker 29 I didn't, but you almost made me get there.

Speaker 41 I'm at a 10. I'm out of 10 on Caleb.

Speaker 35 I like that take.

Speaker 10 Okay.

Speaker 34 Good takes of the year. Preemptive takes of the year.

Speaker 63 All right, we got three left.

Speaker 22 We have Bonk of the Year.

Speaker 70 We have Blake of the Year.

Speaker 48 We have Podcast Listeners of the Year.

Speaker 41 Three huge awards. Massive.

Speaker 62 Huge, huge awards.

Speaker 9 Next up, Bonk of the Year.

Speaker 53 The nominees are

Speaker 20 the entire internet for Sidney Sweeney breaking up with her boyfriend.

Speaker 124 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 18 And also the soap thing.

Speaker 41 And also, Hank, you should probably try to get with her.

Speaker 151 Yeah. I am.

Speaker 40 I'm actively. You should.

Speaker 69 We have J-O-C, our good friend Jerry O'Connell, for not wearing underpants and being rock hard in Hank's face during the Celtics Knicks game at the Beth Gala.

Speaker 41 Pretty incredible.

Speaker 95 Pretty incredible.

Speaker 84 PFT,

Speaker 101 for whatever you said.

Speaker 41 For the whole thing.

Speaker 8 Steve Smith, kind of a story we forgot.

Speaker 49 Yeah, noted.

Speaker 113 Yeah.

Speaker 85 Noted.

Speaker 5 One of the best times.

Speaker 40 How about PFT for when he tweeted Casey Anthony is back?

Speaker 41 She's so back. Yeah.

Speaker 103 She is so back, huh?

Speaker 113 She looks good.

Speaker 81 She's looking good. Steve Smith, let's just read the text real quick.

Speaker 70 This is with the guy that he cocked.

Speaker 30 Or no, sorry, this is with the girl that he was having sex with.

Speaker 83 He was having sex with a married woman.

Speaker 26 She said, take me deep down your throat like you kind of like...

Speaker 55 Or no, so he said, take me deep down your throat like you kind of like you wanted to suck me off.

Speaker 139 She wrote back, I did. I would have gagged on it,

Speaker 104 but I had to come come home.

Speaker 139 He said, You enjoy it. You like to feel it.

Speaker 39 She said, I like feeling it deep in my wet pussy.

Speaker 139 He replied, Me too.

Speaker 20 Letting you taste,

Speaker 3 though, would be a turn-on.

Speaker 69 I would have shot my nut all inside your pussy. She wrote back, I love making you come.

Speaker 139 I enjoy it more when you come inside me. He replied, noted.

Speaker 41 Wasn't there some IUD rearrangement that went on in that, too?

Speaker 41 Yeah, I think he stirred things up a little bit.

Speaker 135 Oh, man, noted.

Speaker 30 That is very bonk-worthy.

Speaker 37 And then our final nominee for Bonk of the Year is Shannon Sharp, just for everything.

Speaker 41 The Instagram Live, everything.

Speaker 49 Everything.

Speaker 9 All right.

Speaker 14 The winner of Bonk of the Year for the 2025, pardon my take-takeys, is

Speaker 94 our good friend Jerry O'Connell.

Speaker 41 Jerry, congrats, buddy. All right.

Speaker 60 And he is here to accept his award.

Speaker 116 Wow.

Speaker 146 Wow.

Speaker 158 What an honor.

Speaker 158 I got to tell you, I didn't,

Speaker 158 it's an honor to have this. I want to thank the Academy.
And by the Academy, I mean the three of you and Max and Zach and Memes.

Speaker 158 But, you know, I wasn't expecting to be aroused when I got there. And then when the Knicks came back.

Speaker 158 from 20 in the fourth quarter and Hank was next to me and Hank was dressed like a cowboy.

Speaker 137 I just,

Speaker 128 I got to move for a second because actually I'm sitting next to my daughter right there.

Speaker 140 I got so,

Speaker 158 I got so fucking rock hard and excited because the Knicks were going to beat the Celtics

Speaker 124 and they did.

Speaker 158 And I just couldn't believe it. And just blood started flowing everywhere.
And you know what? At first, when you said I got the bonk of the year award, I was kind of ashamed.

Speaker 158 But no, now I'm proud and I'm excited. And I just want anyone to know, or any man, I'm sorry to assign gender, who's feeling not like vital, not alive.

Speaker 76 Just let Mr.

Speaker 158 Bing Bong, Mr.

Speaker 144 Bing Bong, flow through your

Speaker 158 bloodstream, through your veins. And there's nothing quite like it.
So I accept this award for Bonk of the Year. And I'm really excited.
Now let me go sit down next back.

Speaker 128 Back to my daughter.

Speaker 143 Congratulations, Sherry.

Speaker 158 You hear what I said, honey? Honey, I'm on part of my take. Hello, testic testing.
Yeah.

Speaker 137 I'm a bomb to the earth.

Speaker 137 She'll never know.

Speaker 128 Her mom will never know. It's great.

Speaker 159 Yeah, it was a good one.

Speaker 158 I would have preferred it if maybe if it had something to do with Tiffany Gomez.

Speaker 52 But

Speaker 158 since I was rubbing up on Hank, I just want to say

Speaker 124 Hank and I have

Speaker 158 a thing now.

Speaker 159 We have a connection.

Speaker 110 It's a fact.

Speaker 57 It's a lifelong connection.

Speaker 158 And Hank, honey, I'd like you to meet your new dad. His name is Hank.

Speaker 105 That's your dad.

Speaker 158 He's going to teach you golf.

Speaker 140 We're a modern family, Hank.

Speaker 137 You and I. We're a modern couple.

Speaker 52 Get with it.

Speaker 158 Be cool with it, Hank. I know you're like a little weird about stuff like that, but just be open.
All right.

Speaker 124 Be open to the universe.

Speaker 137 Say hi to your new dad. Say hi.

Speaker 137 All right.

Speaker 51 Thank you, Jerry. Fucking kids.

Speaker 158 You believe this shit?

Speaker 51 Yeah, you're the best, Jerry. Thank you.
We can't wait to see you.

Speaker 130 Camp Barstool. Love you, Jerry.

Speaker 122 Love you. Love you.

Speaker 147 All right. Bye.

Speaker 61 That was incredible.

Speaker 75 That was great.

Speaker 143 That's our guy.

Speaker 41 That was great. I like that Mr.
Bing Bong isn't something that lives inside Jerry's brain. It's actually his dick.

Speaker 57 Yeah.

Speaker 41 He's Mr. Bing Bong when it gets hard.

Speaker 96 Oh, I'm so happy we didn't tell him that he was winning that award.

Speaker 83 We need to do that with more of these winners.

Speaker 30 Just bring them on and just be like, hey, you won this award.

Speaker 73 Jersey Jerry Biz,

Speaker 32 Jerry O'Connell.

Speaker 8 It's been a great takeies. Yeah.

Speaker 61 And now we have one of my favorite awards.

Speaker 83 We have the Blake of the Year Award, one of the greatest awards that we give out every single year.

Speaker 37 This is our eighth time giving out Blake of the Year.

Speaker 78 So let's get to Blake of the Year.

Speaker 164 This college football season, we are feeling the cheesiest with Cheez-It, the ultimate irresistible football watching snack.

Speaker 12 Cheez-It brings 100% real cheese and deliciousness to every game.

Speaker 164 Fuel your game day cravings with cheesy, crunchy, salty deliciousness. And fuel your Cheez-It fandom at Cheez-It.com.
Use code STOOL25 for 20% off your order.

Speaker 34 Okay, it's time.

Speaker 54 Probably the most important take you we give out every single year.

Speaker 27 It is the Blake of the Year time.

Speaker 95 Blake Bortles, Blake Griffin, Brooks Kepka,

Speaker 83 they are all nominated for Blake of the Year, and we're going to do it like we've done it a few times before, old school style.

Speaker 20 We are going to send a Zoom link to all three Blakes.

Speaker 85 They've been given a window.

Speaker 53 So I told them there's a three-hour window that we could decide Blake of the Year.

Speaker 156 So they're at least aware because this was a time zone disaster.

Speaker 54 Blake Griffin's in Hawaii.

Speaker 3 Blake Portals is in Florida.

Speaker 23 Brooks Kepka's in Northern Ireland.

Speaker 41 Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, the big storyline at home is, can Blake win the big one? Yeah.
Because Brooks Kepka has not won. He's not.
And that weighs heavily on him.

Speaker 66 So what is the actual tally?

Speaker 8 Do we have, I think it's, is it four for Blake Griffin and three for Blake Portals?

Speaker 41 I think Griffin's got four. So he's going to

Speaker 41 one for the thumb for for him. This is going to be a big one.
This would be just dominant. Yep.
Dynasty.

Speaker 41 But yeah, we don't know.

Speaker 41 Can Brooks Kepka, can he kind of dig himself out of that hole? He only cares about big tournaments. Yeah.
This is the biggest tournament of them all. Yeah.
And he still has that.

Speaker 41 glaring empty space on his mantle.

Speaker 54 It would be a shocker if he wins this.

Speaker 54 I think every year, if you had to release odds, it's like Blake Griffin minus 150,

Speaker 67 Blake Bortles probably plus 120.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 67 Brooks Kepka Kepka, 40 to 1.

Speaker 41 Yeah, I would say that's fair. I mean,

Speaker 41 there's a lot of doubters out there for Brooks Kepka. Is he even a Blake? People are starting to ask.

Speaker 23 Some people then also reverse it and say him not caring about this makes him the most Blake.

Speaker 41 I would say that that is 100% accurate. Like when he didn't call in for about two hours, I think it was like two days.
He was in Portugal, I think.

Speaker 41 Yeah, that's the most Blake move that there is, but unfortunately, this is the way that we decide the award. Yep.
And yeah, made the best Blake win.

Speaker 66 All right, so what do we have, memes?

Speaker 138 It's four to three, and it does look like Blake Griffin has won all phone calls and Zoom calls.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 10 Wow.

Speaker 23 There was a time that Blake Bordle was like, yeah, he lost by like a split second.

Speaker 8 That was a heartbreaker for him.

Speaker 99 All right, so here we go.

Speaker 38 We have the zoom up.

Speaker 94 We have all three Blakes on one text chain.

Speaker 5 Are you guys nervous?

Speaker 53 I'm always nervous.

Speaker 68 I'm very nervous.

Speaker 40 I'm started a timer. What do you guys, what do you guys got for over-under on time?

Speaker 114 Cool shirt, Hank. I think we're going to have our first Blake.
Hey, you too. I think we're going to have our first Blake within a minute.

Speaker 130 I also like, this also is one of those things. Did you send it?

Speaker 9 Are they?

Speaker 22 No, I haven't.

Speaker 38 Like, is your Zoom set up?

Speaker 51 Sometimes you have to update.

Speaker 34 These things matter.

Speaker 41 Are you connected to Wi-Fi?

Speaker 77 Yeah.

Speaker 40 I feel like Blake is the only one. Blake Griffin is the only one that would remotely have a Zoom set up.

Speaker 41 He trains. Blake Griffin trains for the Blake of the Year.
That's reps.

Speaker 75 That's why he's got four.

Speaker 41 He's the only one. He puts it in his calendar.
He preps. He stays close to the router.
Remember the year that he sat close to the router? Yeah. To get the better Wi-Fi?

Speaker 6 Five to three would be a commanding lead.

Speaker 101 Yeah,

Speaker 40 this is going to be Blake Griffin.

Speaker 9 But a four to four would be an incredible

Speaker 71 turn of Blake of the Year.

Speaker 41 I think 4-4, obviously, what a storyline that would be. 5-3, you start to have the

Speaker 41 starts to feel like Brady Manning.

Speaker 40 And if it's Brooks, we're going nuke.

Speaker 124 Oh,

Speaker 66 we should get champagne.

Speaker 41 I think we got a party. Yeah, we have a party.

Speaker 75 Yeah.

Speaker 151 All right.

Speaker 23 You guys ready? Count me down.

Speaker 49 Five. Four.

Speaker 67 Started five.

Speaker 49 Three.

Speaker 41 What do you want me to say?

Speaker 19 I want to start at 20.

Speaker 49 30.

Speaker 49 31.

Speaker 154 Meme said it.

Speaker 43 29. What did Meme said?

Speaker 115 Meme said he thinks it's going to be within five seconds.

Speaker 120 I think 23 seconds.

Speaker 41 25, 24, 23,

Speaker 77 22, 21,

Speaker 43 20,

Speaker 124 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 13, 12, 11, 10,

Speaker 137 9, 8, 7, 6, five, four,

Speaker 137 three,

Speaker 137 two,

Speaker 137 one,

Speaker 137 six.

Speaker 137 Woo!

Speaker 51 It's been sent.

Speaker 107 That was awesome. And now we wait.

Speaker 41 You guys countdown should have been on the Mount Rushmore seas.

Speaker 41 Ooh, yeah. That was awesome.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 154 Oh, shit.

Speaker 82 Oh, my God. Oh, dear God.

Speaker 118 Fuck it. 12 seconds.

Speaker 82 Oh, wow.

Speaker 116 12 seconds.

Speaker 40 Oh, no.

Speaker 79 Oh, no.

Speaker 79 Oh, no.

Speaker 137 You win.

Speaker 82 You win.

Speaker 52 Blake of the year. Blake of the year.

Speaker 153 Is it just me? Yeah.

Speaker 51 Blake Bortles joined about two seconds after you.

Speaker 41 That's five.

Speaker 6 Oh, my God.

Speaker 51 Can we get Blake Bortles in here?

Speaker 50 That's five.

Speaker 79 Five.

Speaker 118 All the way from Hawaii.

Speaker 51 From way downtown.

Speaker 137 Blake was right there.

Speaker 51 Blake Bortles again is second place.

Speaker 153 Can you hear me?

Speaker 43 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 41 You came in second by like two seconds.

Speaker 66 It was that close.

Speaker 153 It's devastating, dude.

Speaker 126 It's just devastating.

Speaker 51 I mean, Blake Bortles, you have to ask yourself, it feels like every year we're in this exact same spot where you join the Zoom and Blake Griffin's already here.

Speaker 165 Yeah, I think it just comes down to like, I'm bouncing my head off my ceiling. Like, this is just as good as I get.

Speaker 41 Yeah, it's like running into Patrick Mahomes every year. That's right.

Speaker 165 There's no way around it. Seconds just got to be where you live.

Speaker 79 Oh, man.

Speaker 75 All right, Blake Griffin, you are now a five-time Blake of the Year.

Speaker 51 Blake Bortles has three championships.

Speaker 130 This is the separating one. Like, it was four to three.

Speaker 9 We were saying beforehand, if it went four to four, you'd be like, hey, we got a real rivalry.

Speaker 16 Now you're peerless.

Speaker 55 You have no peers.

Speaker 107 You have five of them.

Speaker 153 Listen, I put in the work. I flew out to Hawaii.
I've been holed up in a house in Hawaii for the past two weeks waiting for this.

Speaker 153 Oh, my God.

Speaker 153 It does feel good. I would like to talk about Brooks.

Speaker 153 What's going on?

Speaker 110 Yeah.

Speaker 41 But we were saying this is the most Blake thing that you can do, arguably, is just not care. Not care.

Speaker 110 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 61 Yeah.

Speaker 57 I don't know if he'll join.

Speaker 62 He is in England. He's about to play in the Open Championship.

Speaker 30 Maybe next year we'll find a different weekend that he's not this many time zones away.

Speaker 23 But yet again, it's Blake versus Blake, and Blake has won.

Speaker 153 Blake always wins.

Speaker 41 Would you say this, is this the hardest one that you've had to win, being in Hawaii and all?

Speaker 153 Yeah, I think just like, you know, you can become complacent sometimes. And I think,

Speaker 153 I don't know, I, I just, every year I know Bortles is bringing it.

Speaker 153 We don't really have to worry about Brooks, which is kind of nice.

Speaker 129 Yeah.

Speaker 153 So I don't know. Wasn't it like two seconds last year as well?

Speaker 41 Yeah. Yeah.
I think this is the fastest one.

Speaker 51 Yeah. So, so Blake Bortles, are you, you have lost back-to-back years,

Speaker 10 maybe four seconds total that has separated you.

Speaker 54 Is there anything you can do? Are you going to train?

Speaker 142 Is there like, are you just like, hey, this is what I have?

Speaker 23 Like, I'm just going up against the monster.

Speaker 165 Yeah, it's definitely, it's going to be an obstacle to overcome. I just, I don't know how much better I can get.

Speaker 41 I've maxed out my potential.

Speaker 165 You know, the first 15 minutes of this window, I was staring at my phone. Then I got briefly sidetracked by children.
And then I locked back in and couldn't have clicked on the link any faster.

Speaker 49 That's do we have

Speaker 41 to make sure that Zoom was updated? Was that good to go?

Speaker 153 Yeah, I was on a Zoom call earlier today.

Speaker 165 Everything was fine. I mean, everything was ideal for a win today, and

Speaker 153 I lose again.

Speaker 41 There will be people who ask, is it time to change the format of Blake of the Year? Because Blake Griffin's been so dominant on the phone. I don't know if we're ready to have that conversation yet.

Speaker 41 Should we go back to the lottery balls?

Speaker 153 That was fun.

Speaker 10 Yeah, we could.

Speaker 41 We could do seating for next year.

Speaker 49 Yeah, we could do seating.

Speaker 153 I'm open to switching up the format. Okay.

Speaker 41 I mean, could you imagine if the one versus 16, if Brooks Kepka somehow beat Blake Griffin in the first round next year? Yeah. That would be incredible.

Speaker 153 That's a true Cinderella story.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think our odds were exactly right.

Speaker 90 We said beforehand, our odds are Blake Griffin minus 150, Blake Bortles plus 120, Brooks Kepka 40 to 1.

Speaker 51 And it feels like that just proves true every year.

Speaker 41 I mean, it's also kind of unfair. He is playing in a major this weekend.
Yeah. So he's, you know, he's probably on the course grinding.

Speaker 153 Well, isn't it? He's in England. Isn't it like 8 p.m.
there?

Speaker 29 Yeah, it is 8 p.m. Yeah, the English.

Speaker 52 He's like five hours grinding.

Speaker 129 I mean, on the course grinding.

Speaker 10 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 130 Blake Bortles, have you finished your house?

Speaker 153 Yes.

Speaker 165 It's complete.

Speaker 79 We're living at it.

Speaker 34 Are you sad that your construction guys are gone?

Speaker 165 I am. Yep.
I think they

Speaker 165 I made friends with them. I'd bring beer, and I think that could have caused it to take six to eight months longer than it should have been.

Speaker 165 But I enjoyed our Friday afternoons together, so I wouldn't have changed it.

Speaker 41 Blake Bortles, did you hear any of the interview with Trevor Lawrence that we had this week? Because he had nothing but the nicest things to say about you.

Speaker 165 I did not. I missed it.

Speaker 165 How'd it go? Trevor's the man.

Speaker 155 Yeah.

Speaker 41 He just said that your reputation was pristine in that locker room. He could still feel your presence in there.
So he actually said he might cut his hair if he wins the Super Bowl in a tribute to you.

Speaker 9 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 165 I mean, if I could, I'd have his hair and I'd trade in a heartbeat with him. Mine is shaved, you know, by default.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 2 He also said that he would let us stay at his house without him there.

Speaker 129 Wow.

Speaker 51 Yeah, which is something you, Blake Griffin, we never asked you that, would you let us stay at your house without you there?

Speaker 153 Yeah, I'm in Hawaii. You guys want to pop over to the house?

Speaker 49 Perfect. Swing by the crib.
Perfect.

Speaker 19 Yeah, because Blake Bortles did do that once where he forgot we were coming over to stay at his house and he's like, oh, just here's the code.

Speaker 86 I'll be back in like five hours.

Speaker 30 And we just hung out at his house waiting for him.

Speaker 153 That's I mean that's a true Blake right there I mean shirt off shirt off your back house off your property.

Speaker 124 Yeah

Speaker 165 You guys have filmed a whole music video on the back walkway by the time I got home.

Speaker 41 Yeah, Blake Griffin have you thought about legacy yet?

Speaker 153 I've I've

Speaker 153 it's sort of been washing over me. I've been thinking like do you do the thing you get try to get six and then retire like Jordan?

Speaker 153 Although you can never truly retire from being a Blake, I don't know. I'm just soaking it up right now, to be honest.

Speaker 51 Yeah, okay, all right.

Speaker 57 Last question for both of you.

Speaker 66 Um, I don't know if you saw the news that uh we're writing a book for the 10-year anniversary of Pardon My Take.

Speaker 23 Uh, you guys are both gonna have to write at least one chapter.

Speaker 153 All right, well, chat GPT will be on it.

Speaker 137 Yeah,

Speaker 137 you Blake Portals, can you write a chapter for us?

Speaker 165 No, I mean, you remember my research in work ethic towards the book club that we had for a short period of time.

Speaker 165 I can give you a sentence.

Speaker 110 Okay. All right.

Speaker 118 A sentence.

Speaker 38 I'll take a sentence.

Speaker 41 You just talk to our ghostwriter for five minutes and he writes the chapter.

Speaker 153 Why don't we each give you a sentence and then we just we don't know what the other one's writing and we hope that those two sentences flow together.

Speaker 92 Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 41 Yeah, we'll finish Blake Griffins and then it's choose your own adventure to read Blake Bortle's section. Turn two pages.

Speaker 118 All right. Well, thank you, boys.

Speaker 51 We appreciate it so much.

Speaker 56 We love doing this award.

Speaker 54 And

Speaker 67 we'll keep the Zoom open for Brooks Kepka.

Speaker 24 He'll probably never arrive.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 66 We'll see if he does.

Speaker 51 Congrats again to Blake Griffin. Five-time Blake of the Year, back-to-back champion.

Speaker 130 Is it three in a row?

Speaker 10 Is it three in a row?

Speaker 153 No.

Speaker 129 Two in a row. Blake's won.

Speaker 153 No, is it?

Speaker 153 You won.

Speaker 165 Three times ago. You've won two in a row.
Yeah.

Speaker 129 Two in a row. I've won two in a row, yeah.

Speaker 153 Blake won those.

Speaker 153 2023 Blake of the Year.

Speaker 79 Yeah.

Speaker 59 So next year's going for a three-peat.

Speaker 39 That's historic.

Speaker 165 Yeah, we've got to break that up.

Speaker 41 Well, next year's, is that the 10-year anniversary? Yeah. Of Blake of the Year?

Speaker 107 Nine-year. I think we didn't get it.

Speaker 41 Nine-year.

Speaker 41 Okay. All right.
That's going to be a big one. That's going to be the diamond one.

Speaker 95 Yeah, because there's been eight Blake of the Years.

Speaker 23 Blake Griffin has five.

Speaker 18 Blake Portals has three.

Speaker 54 Never been a three-peat.

Speaker 54 Wow.

Speaker 41 I got to say, the real winner is the listeners because this was a great competition. Yeah.
Like, neck and neck. Fair fight.

Speaker 40 I feel feel like shout out to the AWLs. Yes.

Speaker 41 Yeah. No losers in this one except for Blake Portals.

Speaker 9 Well, and Brooks Kepka. Yeah.

Speaker 153 There's two losers. Yeah.

Speaker 137 Yeah.

Speaker 51 All right. Thank you, boys.

Speaker 38 Should we just stay on till Brooks joins?

Speaker 49 Yeah, we'll stay on till Brooks joins.

Speaker 8 We'll let you guys go. Yeah, we'll see you guys.

Speaker 102 See you guys.

Speaker 57 Congrats, guys.

Speaker 153 All right.

Speaker 118 Oh, there he is.

Speaker 153 Why is this happening every time I'm overseas?

Speaker 5 So, Brooks Kepka finishing in third place in Blake of the Year for yet another year.

Speaker 62 The timer was up.

Speaker 6 I think you joined, let's see, you joined a solid

Speaker 69 17 minutes after Blake Griffin won the award.

Speaker 153 I'm not surprised Blake won.

Speaker 153 Are we shocked?

Speaker 107 He's got five now.

Speaker 109 He's joining us.

Speaker 107 Five, and Blake Bortles has three, and you have zero.

Speaker 56 We said beforehand, we put the odds at you,

Speaker 9 I think you were 40 to 1 to win this.

Speaker 153 Yeah, I think it was a longer shot.

Speaker 101 Yeah.

Speaker 153 As a gambling man, I think it was a lot longer.

Speaker 75 What do we have to do to get competitive next year?

Speaker 153 I really think we

Speaker 153 maybe do this while I'm on the same time zone.

Speaker 8 Okay. That's actually not the same thing.

Speaker 82 That's the only way we've got to do this.

Speaker 153 We've got to push it back a week.

Speaker 41 Okay. Do we push it back or do we move it forward?

Speaker 153 I got to figure out what I'm doing next year. I gotta look at the schedule.

Speaker 47 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 51 I still think we should try to do it all three Blakes in the same place.

Speaker 57 We gotta maybe figure that out because it would be

Speaker 153 some kind of competition or some kind of something where we're all together. Yeah.
That's the first.

Speaker 52 But

Speaker 153 hey, props to Blake for winning. Wow.

Speaker 128 What an effort.

Speaker 41 It's just been an incredible run for him. Where were you when you saw the text and what went through your head?

Speaker 153 The same thing that usually goes through. God, I am so late in this.

Speaker 56 Was there even a small percentage of you that was like, hey, maybe I just got lucky this year?

Speaker 153 Ah, I was hoping, but there's, yeah, I'm an idiot.

Speaker 43 I don't know.

Speaker 154 17 minutes later. Yeah.

Speaker 41 I mean, I think that saying, I forgot is a completely acceptable reason.

Speaker 153 Yeah.

Speaker 153 I think it is.

Speaker 153 You know what's funny? I looked at my phone and I saw the

Speaker 153 text that was like, hey, it's open.

Speaker 153 We're good. All right.

Speaker 153 And I was like, okay, all right, great. And I felt like I literally checked my phone five seconds later and then, boom, here I am 17 minutes late.

Speaker 110 You blacked out.

Speaker 51 Yeah, because I sent the text right at the beginning of the window saying, hey, we are now officially open for Blake of the Year, just so you guys were all aware.

Speaker 69 And then, yeah, it just, you blacked out.

Speaker 22 And

Speaker 153 I'm going to blame it on the bad Wi-Fi.

Speaker 52 Okay.

Speaker 153 That's the excuse I'm going with. That's what I'm going to stick with.

Speaker 51 Good excuse. You also have a fair excuse.

Speaker 56 You are literally playing in a golf major this week, and the other two Blakes are currently unemployed.

Speaker 30 So

Speaker 81 that's a big difference.

Speaker 153 I do have that going for me. Yes.
I do have that going, that I'm still an active participant in a sport.

Speaker 41 How are you feeling about this weekend?

Speaker 153 I feel good. I feel good.
I swear

Speaker 153 if I win this week. We're going to have to organize all the Blakes get together.
All of us get together. Because we're coming coming to Chicago, I think, soon.

Speaker 135 Yeah, I actually, I'm going to say this right now.

Speaker 33 I think if you win the Open Championship, you win Blake of the Year this year.

Speaker 92 I think Blake Griffin should agree to that.

Speaker 2 I think Blake Griffin should agree to that.

Speaker 10 Hold on, I'll call him real quick.

Speaker 41 I think he would say that's fair.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I'm going to call him real quick.

Speaker 10 That would be great.

Speaker 41 Bordos might get upset because Bordeaux was about two seconds after Blake Griffin this year. He didn't win, so he doesn't

Speaker 42 close.

Speaker 153 Yeah, I'm going to say that I definitely called first. It's just the Wi-Fi battle

Speaker 27 blake we're talking to brooks right now literally just called in two minutes ago this is this is this is 100 your your call i do not want to force you into anything but i have proposed the idea that if brooks kepka wins the open championship this weekend he officially gets your blake of the year title this year are you willing to do that

Speaker 9 100

Speaker 9 okay

Speaker 137 so he's got a chance he's got a redemption

Speaker 41 i'm not dead i love it he's not dead You're playing for something bigger than yourself this weekend.

Speaker 10 Oh, absolutely. You're playing for Blake.

Speaker 153 I'm playing for all the Blakes.

Speaker 166 I would like, at some point in the interviews, I would like acknowledgement.

Speaker 110 Okay, yeah, yes. That's fair.

Speaker 146 That's totally fair.

Speaker 129 That's totally fair.

Speaker 128 I think it literally might just be a mic drop.

Speaker 153 I got to acknowledge at least Ricky Elliott, my caddy.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 42 It could be like the

Speaker 166 course interview, but, you know, the press conference or something.

Speaker 142 Yeah, he just said in the press conference.

Speaker 51 He said it doesn't have to be on the course, it can be in the press conference.

Speaker 153 Whatever, I literally would just say Blake Griffin and then walk right out.

Speaker 62 Yeah, no, you just all you got to say is, and this means that I'm now Blake of the Year.

Speaker 130 Thank you to Blake Griffin for so generously giving me this opportunity.

Speaker 153 Verbatim, that's what it'll be.

Speaker 110 Okay, all right, all right, we're good.

Speaker 51 Thank you, Blake.

Speaker 47 All right, later. I mean, what a story, right?

Speaker 41 What a story this would be.

Speaker 100 Yeah, Blake of the Year is not, we've decided it, but it's still open.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 50 Oh, man.

Speaker 10 I worked so hard.

Speaker 41 I'll tell you what, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicholas, Arnold Palmer, they've never won a Blake of the Year on the same day they won a major. Yeah.
No,

Speaker 120 that's very true. Yeah.

Speaker 42 I mean,

Speaker 153 that would be the, if I won this week, that would be the seventh major.

Speaker 152 Yeah, you got it. You got to hold up seven and have everyone be confused.

Speaker 132 They'd be like, what the fuck?

Speaker 105 He's only got six.

Speaker 75 No, he's got six.

Speaker 128 I've never wanted to win a golf tournament so bad.

Speaker 110 All right.

Speaker 51 Well, Brooks, thank you. You're the best.
Best of luck this week. week, and we're rooting for you hard.

Speaker 128 Yeah.

Speaker 153 No, I'm rooting for myself very hard right now.

Speaker 22 All right. All right.
See you, man.

Speaker 153 All right. See you, boys.

Speaker 118 Okay.

Speaker 10 I think we're done, right?

Speaker 124 Yep.

Speaker 22 No. Oh.

Speaker 49 No, we're not.

Speaker 139 And I was actually thinking about it as well because we have to write this book and AWS do have to buy it now that they've won nine in a a row.

Speaker 156 But it's like, it's pretty crazy, especially in the media business and everything that goes on, and it's a hard business to be in.

Speaker 36 And there's people who lose their jobs, get their jobs, new shows, all this stuff,

Speaker 55 to do the same show with the same guys for nine years and still love it just as much as day one.

Speaker 3 And that's really the truth.

Speaker 26 Like, we love coming in and working together, and we love doing a really stupid podcast for all of you that listen and watch.

Speaker 34 And can't thank you enough because you guys are you you you are the reason why we have uh this and you are the reason why we did get we do it every single day for you guys and uh if it weren't for your support uh none of this would be possible and we do not take that for granted a single day and so well-deserving nine-time AWLs out there.

Speaker 66 There's a lot of you out there that are nine times.

Speaker 51 And even if you're a five-time, six-time, three-time, one-time, doesn't matter.

Speaker 133 We thank you so, so much from the bottom of our hearts that you listen and you participate and you enjoy the show because we're going to keep making it for as long as we can.

Speaker 40 I'd like to hear from the one-timers. Yeah.

Speaker 49 Uh-huh.

Speaker 9 It's probably interesting to see. Probably really confusing episode

Speaker 40 of a one-timer

Speaker 40 is actually one I'd like to be interested to hear.

Speaker 41 I want to hear from somebody that this is their very first episode of Part of My Take that they're listening to.

Speaker 41 Someone's girlfriend.

Speaker 40 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 103 Yeah.

Speaker 41 Shout out to you. You just won an award.
Hit us up.

Speaker 51 We promise not to sick Zach on you.

Speaker 66 Zach, lady killer, lady stealer.

Speaker 40 That's a fact.

Speaker 156 Hank, do you have anything you want to say to the nine-time AWLs?

Speaker 40 Love you guys. Love seeing you guys out there.
Supportive, you know, say mean stuff online, but they're always nice in person.

Speaker 62 Well, why'd you throw it

Speaker 10 a grip online?

Speaker 143 This is the Spotify wrapped all over it.

Speaker 122 Yeah, what the fuck, dude?

Speaker 51 Why'd you say the mean stuff online?

Speaker 38 No, I don't.

Speaker 40 That's how I feel about it. It's like sometimes people are like, oh, like people are people are mean.
It's like, I've never had a bad interaction with an AWL in person, and that is all that matters.

Speaker 41 But also, I appreciate that they do give us shit sometimes. We fuck up a lot.
So we're human. When we fuck up, make fun of us.

Speaker 139 I also don't think we know the full strength of the AWLs because we don't weaponize them.

Speaker 64 You know what I mean?

Speaker 41 We don't. Memes does occasionally.

Speaker 48 Memes does occasionally.

Speaker 53 But we know you're there and we love you.

Speaker 69 And even for the people that aren't online, who aren't responding or commenting, we love you and we appreciate you so much.

Speaker 133 And you're heard and seen as well.

Speaker 91 Max, you want to say something to the AWLs?

Speaker 115 No, I was just, Memes was just talking about whether he weaponizes the AWLs back here.

Speaker 10 Oh, he does. Yeah.

Speaker 53 Yeah, he does.

Speaker 115 But yeah, no, they're the best. I love seeing you guys out in the wild all the time.

Speaker 115 It's funny, though, because probably the number one thing that I get is fuck Hank.

Speaker 115 So, yeah, so that's great. And I love you guys.
I've only haven't been here for nine years, but the time that I've been here has been great.

Speaker 40 Hopefully there's nine more years in the future.

Speaker 122 Yeah, and more. And more.

Speaker 72 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 41 And if you do see memes out in the wild, just make sure to give him some advice on the lottery ball. Yeah.
He appreciates it always.

Speaker 41 But

Speaker 41 it's a very lucky thing that we have. And

Speaker 41 so doing this job changed my life, changed Big Cat's life, changed Hank's life. And from the bottom of our hearts, we really do appreciate you guys, and we love you very deeply.

Speaker 21 Very, very much.

Speaker 24 Very, very much.

Speaker 27 And you guys deserve this award because you are year in and year out.

Speaker 133 We see the numbers.

Speaker 10 You're there. And you deserve it.

Speaker 10 Okay.

Speaker 49 We're going to do a quick, quick Fire Fest.

Speaker 48 Before we do that, Piety, your last two ads, then we'll do lottery ball, and we'll send everyone on the way

Speaker 39 Incredible takeies. I love doing this takeies show.

Speaker 42 The Action Pact.

Speaker 55 A lot of guest presenters, guest acceptors.

Speaker 23 I still am laughing about

Speaker 133 the Canadian summit of Oldie and Biz.

Speaker 41 Should we accept this award now? I don't know. It seems like it's a two-faced deal.

Speaker 47 I don't know. Okay, busy, busy.

Speaker 78 They're great.

Speaker 167 Hey, guys, it's Rhea from Chicks in the Office. Abercrombie denim is everything right now.

Speaker 10 Okay, Firefest real quick. Hank.

Speaker 40 Not too bad. More of an ice fest.

Speaker 41 Ice Fest.

Speaker 40 It's nothing crazy, but just drunk purchase. That was

Speaker 40 one of the probably top, top tier, worst drunk purchases I've ever made. I think I bought a bean bag once drunk that was like four times too big than I thought, and it filled up.

Speaker 40 I lived in a loft, it filled up my entire loft space.

Speaker 114 You ever break one of those?

Speaker 132 A bean bag? Yeah.

Speaker 124 No. Yeah.

Speaker 77 It's pretty good.

Speaker 91 Shout out my college friend, Tommy.

Speaker 69 He cut one out of anger, and it literally takes forever to clean up.

Speaker 40 Yeah, that sounds like a nightmare. But over 4th of July break, our co-worker, Francis, made a video.
He's like, I bought this ice maker. It makes like clear cubed ice.

Speaker 40 And I was blasted I don't even remember ordering it but I like you know clicked the link ordered one for myself I came home I was like Francis what is this and he's like it was like 400 bucks too he was like it'll change your life it's the best ice you'll ever have if you drink old fashions which I don't and I don't really drink like I don't make drinks at my house

Speaker 40 And but he's like, if you drink old fashions, it'll change your life. It's these big

Speaker 42 clear ice cubes.

Speaker 83 You don't drink the drink that you need it for, but you still.

Speaker 40 Correct. Okay.
This is after I bought it. I was like, I got home.
So why did you saw the package? Because I was drunk. I really don't know.

Speaker 40 I like, I came home, didn't know what it was, opened it, and I was like, oh, I think Francis posted a video about this. I was like, Francis, what is this? Like, is this ice going to change my life?

Speaker 40 He's like, yeah, it's great for old-fashions. It's like the, you know, the ice, the big ice cubes that you'd buy at a cocktail bar.

Speaker 42 Okay, super clear.

Speaker 40 And I now am the owner of one of those.

Speaker 41 And you don't use it?

Speaker 40 I have used it. It takes eight hours to make a single, it takes eight hours to make four cubes.

Speaker 10 Four cubes?

Speaker 47 Eight hours?

Speaker 41 You could just get an ice tray with four cubes in it and put that in the freezer.

Speaker 40 That's cloudy cubes, though.

Speaker 79 That's

Speaker 10 got you there.

Speaker 41 And guy like you that needs your cubes clear, that's just not going to cut.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 40 So that I've just been, I've thought about returning it, but it's like, what am I? Am I going to return something? Probably not.

Speaker 40 Am I ever going to use this?

Speaker 117 Doubtful.

Speaker 40 I have just been making ice like every day and just putting them in my freezer so I have big cubes, but really, I thought it was like, oh, this will be cool to have. It's not.

Speaker 40 It's pointless.

Speaker 65 Can I put you on a different ice maker?

Speaker 40 I might have to become an old-fashioned guy. No, no, no.
No, but Hank,

Speaker 10 I have an ice ice.

Speaker 147 I have

Speaker 10 four ice makers. Listen to me.

Speaker 122 No, hear him out.

Speaker 114 Hear me out.

Speaker 135 Hear him out.

Speaker 16 You have a four-cube eight-hour maker.

Speaker 41 I used to sell ice makers, by the way.

Speaker 65 Of course you did. Yeah.

Speaker 41 Hank, I've got an ice maker that will change your life. This thing, it's like the sonic ice, and it's on your countertop.
It's soft. It's chewy.
It makes it really, really fast.

Speaker 41 It makes probably like six or seven glasses at a time. Is it cloudy?

Speaker 41 No, it's okay it's clear but it's the tiny soft little pebble ice the nugget ice and you can get that on your countertop for the little little price of about 300 bucks i got one ahead of thanksgiving this year had some people over it was the biggest hit i can't go and do four figures on ice i think you haven't seen financially i'll i does your refrigerator not make ice oh no it does oh i was gonna say like what are we talking about

Speaker 41 cloudy ice though the one that you bought you said was like 400 bucks i'm i'm selling you one for 300 bucks wait so i've been just using cloudy ice yeah sorry so cloudy.

Speaker 10 Oh, fuck.

Speaker 41 Getting air bubbles everywhere. Yeah.
Damn it. No, this will change your life, Hank.
Get the soft, get the pellet ice. Text me.

Speaker 40 I'll shoot you a text this week when I'm drunk, and then maybe you do that pitch again, and I'm in.

Speaker 41 I'm probably just going to send you a link at like 12:30 on Friday night. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 34 Friday. Yeah, don't do Saturday.
He's going to be watching UFC.

Speaker 42 That's true.

Speaker 41 Well, Friday is also a weekday, so I don't know if he's going to be drunk. That's true.

Speaker 10 Cold Cups game.

Speaker 136 Okay, so you're going to be drunk.

Speaker 41 Good Fire Fest. Great Fire Fest.

Speaker 64 Can you please make a video of you making the ice?

Speaker 34 I'd like to see them.

Speaker 40 Do you want a time-lapse? Yeah. Eight-hour time-lapse.

Speaker 41 Can you put a GoPro inside as it freezes?

Speaker 124 Yeah. Well, yeah.

Speaker 40 I've had some failed missions. I'm like two for four on successfully making it because it makes it over the course of eight hours, but if you don't take it out in a certain amount of time, it melts.

Speaker 40 And so, like, you have to time it up perfectly.

Speaker 41 How many old-fashions is Francis drink?

Speaker 40 I guess a lot.

Speaker 40 I have literally never, I've drank it in old-fashioned, maybe with you. Like, you've ordered one.
I'm like, hey, I'll get one of those too. I have never made one.
I don't even know how to make one.

Speaker 40 And I don't want to make one. I don't even like old-fashions.

Speaker 91 Wait, why don't you just set up the ice maker before you go to bed and then when you wake up?

Speaker 40 That's what I've been doing, but the timing sometimes.

Speaker 87 Oh, 10 hours sleeping.

Speaker 40 No, or it's less. Yeah.

Speaker 10 Okay.

Speaker 41 It sounds like a job for the cream team.

Speaker 62 Give Zach the ice cream.

Speaker 40 I also don't, but I have like eight cubes in my freezer. I'm good.
I'm cubed up.

Speaker 41 So you freeze the cubes.

Speaker 41 Then you move them to your freezer, and then they stay in the freezer. Yep.
Do they get cloudy in the the freezer? Nope. They stay clear.
Yeah. All right.
That's a good purchase.

Speaker 124 Nope.

Speaker 80 Okay.

Speaker 41 My Fire Fest of the Week is spider-related. Hank, you might be interested in this, or you might have some advice for me.
I was down in my basement the other day, and I was taking a big shit.

Speaker 41 And as I'm taking the shit, I see a giant spider that's walking across the floor. And I'm in the position where I'm physically shitting.
There is shitting happening at this point, so I can't get up.

Speaker 41 I'm just looking at the spider as it's crawling across the floor. It was big, it was brown, it looked mean.
I took a picture of it, and it just keeps walking.

Speaker 41 And all I want to do is get up, grab it with some toilet paper, and then flush it because this thing is fucked up.

Speaker 41 But I'm shitting, so I'm at the point where I actually can't get up and do that.

Speaker 41 By the time I finally end taking the shit, the spider has disappeared disappeared behind my sink it's nowhere to be found so I took a picture of the spider there are websites that you can go on to where you can upload pictures of a spider that you took and it'll identify what kind of spider it was okay

Speaker 41 it's a brown recluse oh I had a brown recluse in my bathroom I had every opportunity to kill it and flush it

Speaker 41 and it's somewhere now it went away What do I do? Spider expert?

Speaker 40 Yeah, I mean, I have, I got, I got some ammo, like firepower, if you want to keep it strapped in your bathroom.

Speaker 40 Shout out to my dad, he got it for me. It's like a big

Speaker 40 spider-repellent spray gun.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 40 That, you know, whenever I, whenever there's a sign of a spider, I just go out and just fire away.

Speaker 42 Is it spray or is it spray?

Speaker 41 It's spray.

Speaker 10 Okay.

Speaker 40 And it's, it's strong spray.

Speaker 41 Kills them on contact. Well, my problem isn't that I'm afraid of killing the spider.
I'll kill the spider.

Speaker 40 This is like it's preemptive. Like, I spray every corner.
Like, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm on the offense.

Speaker 40 No, no, outside. Outside, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 40 It's been a two-year battle, but I think I'm.

Speaker 41 You spray the outdoors with spider repellent? I think it's like we better stay inside.

Speaker 134 You're just carpet-bombing your balcony.

Speaker 10 Yes, okay.

Speaker 40 My problem, though, is well, they're outside on the other side, but it's like if they want to come towards my balcony, they're going to be like, nope.

Speaker 41 So I went looking for the spider after I finished taking the shit in the bathroom. I looked everywhere.
I opened up the medicine cabinet. I looked under the sink.

Speaker 41 I saw that there are pipes that aren't necessarily fully fitted to the wall. So there's a small gap that a spider could easily go into.
I think the spider might have just gotten out of town.

Speaker 41 I think it just might be like living in my walls right now. Shit.
Waiting to come out. Yeah, that's scary.
Scary.

Speaker 95 You have to move.

Speaker 41 I think I have to burn the house down. Yeah.
It's going to be like Vesuvio.

Speaker 53 Yeah, you got to. Oh, my God.

Speaker 41 Yeah, it was not a pleasant experience.

Speaker 62 Why didn't you act?

Speaker 41 Because the spider had me hostage. I had poop that was literally coming out of my butt.
At that point, you know, Big Cat, you're a poop.

Speaker 40 You could have used your legs.

Speaker 69 I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm a hand in the trash bag guy.

Speaker 41 Yeah, but you know, like, when you're taking, when the poop is happening. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What am I going to do? Walk across the room and just drag a trail with me?

Speaker 135 If you had known it was a brown recluse, would you have done that?

Speaker 29 I would have pooped on the spider.

Speaker 53 So now you know.

Speaker 75 Now it can't get you.

Speaker 49 Except for when you sleep.

Speaker 41 If anybody has to. Every single night.
And Blake.

Speaker 23 Blake would probably fuck the spider up.

Speaker 41 Blake would fuck that spider up. He'd eat it.

Speaker 111 He's a good boy. Yeah.

Speaker 74 What happens if you get bit by a brown?

Speaker 14 Oh, it's not fatal.

Speaker 34 Cause significant localized tissue damage and require medical attention.

Speaker 40 I can't have that.

Speaker 41 I've been bitten by a brown recluse before.

Speaker 65 Oh, so you're fine.

Speaker 41 Yeah, maybe I'm immune like Spider-Man.

Speaker 124 Yeah, you're a survivor.

Speaker 24 Okay.

Speaker 57 My Fire Fest.

Speaker 41 Lifespan one to two years.

Speaker 115 Yeah, so maybe who knows?

Speaker 40 Sweet him out. Maybe he's two years old.

Speaker 10 It could die.

Speaker 115 It's at least going to be gone in one to two years.

Speaker 77 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 10 That's a great point.

Speaker 51 If it was a baby, you got two years.

Speaker 41 Still alive person of the year, the brown recluse spider that was in my house.

Speaker 22 All right, my fire fest is pretty simple.

Speaker 83 My body is broken.

Speaker 99 I'm too old for some of this shit.

Speaker 139 I did tweet that I was thinking about retirement.

Speaker 19 Not retirement from this show, but retirement from our physical challenges.

Speaker 55 We played, we did a six-hour stream on Tuesday night.

Speaker 31 How many swings did we take?

Speaker 40 200-ish.

Speaker 18 200 plus.

Speaker 57 And then the boys played softball on Wednesday, rallied for a big win, but oh my God, I can't walk right now.

Speaker 9 So I'm done.

Speaker 41 It was a lot of twisting. It's just the.

Speaker 41 How are the hands?

Speaker 85 Hands hurt so bad.

Speaker 62 How's the the back?

Speaker 77 Back hurts so bad.

Speaker 21 How's the legs? Got a weird thing.

Speaker 88 I made an error in the first inning in our softball game and I felt a little like twinge in my knee.

Speaker 24 And then thankfully I don't move fast, so I don't think I re-injured it, but I don't know what's going on there.

Speaker 54 Yeah, my body's broken.

Speaker 47 I don't know what to do.

Speaker 53 I think I need to retire from sports.

Speaker 67 We need to just be a walking guy.

Speaker 41 We got to get one of those cryo chambers. Dude,

Speaker 20 I got to start stretching because I did the same thing I did every single time.

Speaker 104 When softball ended.

Speaker 37 I just got in my car, went home, got out of my car in my garage, 10-minute drive, could barely stand.

Speaker 41 That's the thing. You never stretch after physical activity.

Speaker 140 Yeah.

Speaker 59 Proud of the boys, though. Big win in softball.

Speaker 139 We've rallied because

Speaker 139 it was looking bad because I couldn't hold a bat.

Speaker 9 Holding a bat hurts right now.

Speaker 115 Yeah, I had to be, I wore one batting glove because I just couldn't do it. I had too many blisters on my hand to raw it all.

Speaker 41 That's a sick look, though.

Speaker 10 No, it's a bad look for softball.

Speaker 41 It was kind of like Michael Jackson. It was kind of a sick sick look.

Speaker 131 Zach, do you want to finish this off?

Speaker 58 You go to Firefest?

Speaker 112 Very quick, Firefest. My FireFest is showing up extremely late today and getting a text message from Big Cat at 9:30 saying, Are you coming in today?

Speaker 112 And then not knowing what to say to that and just thinking, like, all right, well, it's over.

Speaker 55 You're not. It's not over.

Speaker 30 Quick, I know we don't have to talk about it, but you did go on the date and it went well.

Speaker 112 I did go on the date. It did go well.

Speaker 10 Love that.

Speaker 150 Here's all you need for Lily Cap.

Speaker 62 Was she pretty?

Speaker 112 I would say, yeah, 100% PFT. She's very pretty.

Speaker 41 I do have one question about the date. What did you wear on the date?

Speaker 112 I just went...

Speaker 112 Black shirt. Black shirt, black pants,

Speaker 112 these shoes.

Speaker 41 Just love it. Sneakers.
Keep it simple.

Speaker 22 And it was a long-ish date.

Speaker 42 It was a couple of hours. Yeah, love that.

Speaker 38 Good for you, Zach. Thank you, BK.

Speaker 106 Excited.

Speaker 62 Will there be a second date?

Speaker 112 There will be a second date. Let's go.

Speaker 41 Yes, let's go, Zach.

Speaker 118 Fuck yes.

Speaker 41 That's our guy. Do you have any thoughts on what the second date activity is going to be? Arcade.

Speaker 33 This is when you hit her with the arcade.

Speaker 41 They already did the arcade.

Speaker 110 Oh, yeah, that's right. Arcade was day one.

Speaker 122 Yeah, they went on two dates.

Speaker 8 Hit her again with the arcade.

Speaker 61 Back-to-back? Just be like, we're an arcade couple. We're either arcades or nothing.

Speaker 41 Well, he did say that of all the games that they played at the arcade, they ended up tied. So now you got to be like, we got to go back and figure out who's winning the arcade.
Yeah.

Speaker 112 No, I think she might be up one on the arcade.

Speaker 10 Oh, no. Okay.

Speaker 112 She might be up one.

Speaker 113 You let her win.

Speaker 112 No, I was trying to win.

Speaker 137 In full transparency, I was trying to win.

Speaker 62 All right. Happy for you, Zach.
Good job.

Speaker 80 All right.

Speaker 92 Memes, have you thought about

Speaker 103 what this would be when we're doing the takeies numbers?

Speaker 72 99.

Speaker 10 Wow, Max took it.

Speaker 138 I'll take nine for our fans.

Speaker 67 Okay.

Speaker 115 Actually, Pug, I don't want 99. No, you already said it.
Yeah,

Speaker 62 you already said it. Scumback.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 115 We give up numbers all the time.

Speaker 10 Oh, scumbag.

Speaker 10 He doesn't want it.

Speaker 38 He's not accepting it. Yeah.

Speaker 29 He's not accepting it. Scumback.

Speaker 115 Pug, that was my way of

Speaker 115 my offense for you.

Speaker 41 I don't want your sloppy second.

Speaker 47 Oh!

Speaker 10 Okay,

Speaker 115 I swear to God, I did that to beat memes to getting it so that I could give it a bad game.

Speaker 128 You were always going to give it back.

Speaker 115 That was the goal.

Speaker 128 100% goal.

Speaker 47 Scumbag.

Speaker 154 I don't know.

Speaker 115 I swear to God, because you don't have the headphone, so

Speaker 115 you can't play the offense, so I was playing offense for you.

Speaker 9 Scumbag.

Speaker 53 No, you can't do that. Can't do that.

Speaker 77 Nope.

Speaker 77 He already said it. He already said it.

Speaker 6 Pug, you got 99?

Speaker 128 I'll go with a 99. Those are cast.

Speaker 10 Those are count. It counts.

Speaker 154 It counts.

Speaker 8 Matt Stray, we do pass numbers.

Speaker 82 We pass numbers on the package.

Speaker 154 Fuck off.

Speaker 75 Wait, Pug, you're the president.

Speaker 41 You get to decide. Does it count?

Speaker 120 He wants it.

Speaker 72 Great point.

Speaker 128 I'm democracy, so if the people vote,

Speaker 47 Pug has 99.

Speaker 41 That's the majority. Zach, put your hand up.

Speaker 110 Thank you.

Speaker 110 Bullshit.

Speaker 9 Okay. Then it counts.

Speaker 77 All right.

Speaker 5 So Hank has three.

Speaker 14 Memes has nine.

Speaker 107 Pug has 99.

Speaker 107 Nope.

Speaker 10 I'll go

Speaker 68 11. Six.
6. 6.

Speaker 10 I'll go 11.

Speaker 9 Okay, that was mean.

Speaker 41 I'll go 61.

Speaker 116 30.

Speaker 44 21.

Speaker 66 Memes, have you thought about what this would be if you win the lottery ball on the takeies with number nine?

Speaker 77 This would be incredible.

Speaker 41 Kind of a dickhead move, honestly, stealing the Thunder away from the AWL.

Speaker 109 Yeah, the AWL should get nine.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 138 I'm an AWL fan first.

Speaker 27 You were. You're kind of obsessively.

Speaker 49 I like our fans, unlike Hank.

Speaker 10 Took off his headphones.

Speaker 110 Hank doesn't have his headphones. He does not give a fuck.

Speaker 71 They're laughing at him right now.

Speaker 137 Look at that face. That head turned.

Speaker 110 We're laughing at him.

Speaker 118 He doesn't have no idea.

Speaker 122 82.

Speaker 41 Love you guys.

Speaker 143 What'd you say?

Speaker 147 I like our fans. I'm like Hank.
