The crown is yours today is Monday, May 13th and PFT. Let's correct some overreactions. The nuggets are in fact not dead. The nuggets are good at basketball. They didn't forget how to play. I actually, so we, like it felt like a lot has happened
Starting point is 00:04:09 in the last three days of the playoff world. And the number one story is the Denver Nuggets evening the series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. And what we said last week, like this is the first time the Nuggets are gonna have their back against the wall in the last year and a half of playoffs. And turns out they answered the bell and they looked awesome. And Nikola Jokic, who is the best player in the world, who you saw the little doubters creeping out of their holes and being like, Ooh, Nikola Jokic shouldn't get his third MVP. He had a
Starting point is 00:04:42 masterclass on Sunday night. Yeah. and Friday night they played really well too. The overreaction was, I think it was somewhat warranted though, because they looked like shit in the first two games. Michael Malone even said, you know what he did? He went home and he put together a compilation tape of all the talking heads talking shit about the Nuggets. And he was like, I didn't do that because I hate those guys. I did that because they were right.
Starting point is 00:05:04 So he actually, credit to Michael Malone for respecting the biz and given Stephen A Smith all the credit for turning around it was so bad in fact it like Stephen A Smith I don't know if you saw this but after the game the most recent one where they went up I guess after Friday's game Stephen A Smith said yeah I was wrong and I apologize whoa I've never heard Stephen A Smith back. Whoa Yeah, that is crazy But I think when we talked about it we were at least just saying what we've seen which was the nuggets looked like shit They look lost timber look timber wolves look awesome, which they did through two games and then they found out
Starting point is 00:05:38 Yeah, okay. We can actually play with these guys that went on Friday gave them a lot of confidence It's a weird series because we haven't had a home team win yet. Correct. It's been business trips all around. And Jokic was incredible all weekend long. He had in the two games, he had 59 points, 21 rebounds, 16 assists in those two games. Tonight, especially. It feels like they, you don't want to say they solve something because this series will go back and forth and now you get the counterpunch from the wolves. But Jokic basically, especially with the Murray pick and rolls, was like, oh, I'm just going to stop before I get close to the rim and neutralize Rudy Gobert and shoot these floaters that are there.
Starting point is 00:06:20 And he was so awesome. And then it also helps that Aaron Gordon played out of his mind. 11 for 12 From the field was hitting everything like when Aaron Gordon plays like that Everything opens up because now when you're doing pick and rolls when you're cutting to the rim. He's standing out there He's gonna he's gonna shoot and he's gonna make it and the Wolves defense and and the worst part for the Wolves tonight And I don't want to listen I understand it's emotional for fans when your team is in the playoffs, and you've also got guys that you've ridden for for a while.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Last week I joked about Carl Anthony Towns making the, people talk about the big three, me, Ant, and Rudy Gobert. And I was like, I don't think people talk about that as a big three. Tonight is why, because Carl Anthony Towns was fucking dog shit and Anthony Edwards was incredible and they wasted a 44-point night from Anthony Edwards because he Rudy go bear and Carl Anthony towns were not good
Starting point is 00:07:15 Well, yeah Rudy go bear wasn't great tonight, but the the Nuggets did their worst damage when he was off the court Yeah, but when he went out was you have two quick fouls and he went out and they went on a huge run. It was like a 24 to six run 24 to four run something like that is because Rudy wasn't on the court. Carl Anthony towns. I don't understand how a guy his size still doesn't know how to play in the post like he gets he's in the post. And if there's if it's Aaron Gordon one on one Aaron Gordon can D him down if they send a double team, he panics and looks completely lost. He was 5 for 18 tonight. And like I said, Anthony Edwards was out of this world.
Starting point is 00:07:51 I don't know if there's an actual conversation to be had, but it feels like Nasried should be playing more, especially later in the game. And maybe tape sitting Gobert or Carl Anthony Towns. But remember that was game one, right? Nas, when you came out there and just lit shit up. This is the frustration of Carl Anthony Towns. He has all the ability in the world, but then you have nights like tonight
Starting point is 00:08:13 where it's like, if you wanna be a big three, you can't go five for 18 and waste a 44 point performance from your best player, Anthony Edwards. I'll put it this way, if I was cat size, I would be the best basketball player in the history of the world. Edwards. I'll put it this way, if I was cat size, I would be the best basketball player in the history of the world. Yeah. I really would.
Starting point is 00:08:28 And the Nuggets didn't shoot out of this way, they shot like 57%. Yeah, they shot really well. And they had the role players playing well on the road. Yeah, Aaron Gordon, that's what we always say. That's the theme of this series, as we always say. And I know a game isn't won or lost in one moment, but I do actually think that the game was lost
Starting point is 00:08:44 for the Wolves with 48 seconds left in the first half. Anthony Edwards hit a three to cut the lead to seven, 48 seconds left. They went to halftime. They were down 15. Yeah. I'd say that the game was over when Jamal Murray hit that shot at halftime. That was just like they fought all the way back because they went down in the second quarter and like, okay, we can in the half down seven. That's great And he's like what the fuck just happened somebody do the stats on that for me If there's a buzzer beater before halftime in a game 55 footer 55 footer
Starting point is 00:09:13 I bet you that team goes on to at least cover the spread. Yeah in the second half I do think that I think the wolves will have a good answer on Whatever game Tuesday night. Yeah, maybe Rudy Gobert just has to have another kid. Well, maybe they need to have just like another three day break and then it's, and then it flips back. Yeah. Cause I, this series is buckle up. That's what I'm going to say. Buckle up for this series. I was just very impressed by the nuggets. And I know that they, they shouldn't be doubted because they won a championship, but they won it somewhat easily. And that's a credit to them. That's not saying it was an easy path, a path, but this was their first like real test of these, of the playoffs in the last couple of years. And it's like, holy shit. They answered it. And they answered it resoundingly were for real. And we like, we're not going to go down
Starting point is 00:09:59 like punks. Hank, you had something that you looked like you were going to say earlier. What do you think you went back scared about the Nuggies. You moved up to the mic. Yeah, I mean, if I, the Nuggets are the scariest team in the West. You're right. Left in the playoffs, period. Yeah. Do you think the Wolves will, where do you think this series is going to go?
Starting point is 00:10:16 I think it's going to go seven. I think it's going to go six. Really? You think the Nuggets have it in the next two? Unfortunately, they just figured it out. I hope the Wolves win in six. The fact that Stephen A. Smith apologized concerns me. That would concern me deeply, deeply,
Starting point is 00:10:31 if I was a Timberwolves fan. Stephen A. Smith could run somebody over in his car if he was driving it blindfolded, and he'd be like, that person shouldn't have been in the intersection. Well, it's why the Nuggets are the team you want to face the least, because they have the most experience,
Starting point is 00:10:43 and this is that time of the playoffs where experience matters, and the Nuggets are the team you want to face the least because they have the most experience and this is you know that time of the Playoffs where experience matters and like the Nuggets just do not care like they're not worried about you know The pressure of game five or six or seven because Jokic is you know the team leader and he doesn't care Yeah, kind of bounces off that whereas like Anthony Edwards is 22 the Thunder are super young even you know The Mavs don't have experience this deep in the playoffs So that's why you know thinking about championship, if you were to do that, you'd rather play one of those younger, more inexperienced teams. But that's why I think the Nuggets, they're going to roll from here on out.
Starting point is 00:11:14 It was a fun weekend reminder that Jokic is the best player because the way he plays and the pace he plays and the decision making that he, like he just puts the defense into such a bind when he's on that no one else is really like that. And his passing right off a pick and roll. Right. Yeah, it's just a big, he's a big question that you have to answer. In the shooting before you get to the rim, like figuring out exactly where he can take apart a defense with the defensive player of the year and really go bare and just seamlessly doing it
Starting point is 00:11:46 It's just he's an incredible and Hank said that he that he doesn't really care But Jokic actually would have seen from in the last two games. He very much cares No not care like I you saw him a couple times out there getting really heated up Like he deeply cares about this team and he wants to win. He might yeah when he gets home He might be like, oh shit I wish I was you know in a horse stable back in in Serbia for the next two weeks But when he's out there with his team he definitely does care and wants to win very badly No, that's not what I meant at all obviously cares. He's the best player in the world
Starting point is 00:12:14 I meant more about like the pressure of You know games they get later in the series doesn't feel That I'd agree with so he doesn't care if it's game seven or if it's game two. Yeah, he does He feels like it's the finals or if it's the first round the same guy every time and it's a killer But with younger teams, I mean even the silent even in Celtics in the past Like you can kind of see teams pucker up a little bit Yeah as the pressure is nothing but success for the Celtics in the past though Something like that rank the four teams out of the West scary
Starting point is 00:12:44 Who are you the most scared of and the west. Scary, who are you the most scared of? And then all the way down to who you're not scared of at all. Nuggets won. Nuggets, Timberwolves, Thunder. Really? What if Kyrie steps unlucky? Kyrie has gotten smoked in every single game he's played against the Celtics. I think since that happened. Since he stepped on. He's playing out of his mind right now. Yeah, no, he's really good. I just think the the matchup versus thunder would be probably harder for the Celtics in the maps. We actually
Starting point is 00:13:17 did a bad job. The most important story out of the NBA playoffs this weekend is one that happened on Thursday night right after we got done recording. Somebody had their phone out and played porn during Lucas press conference after the game. Yes. It was actually the first time a lot of those reporters had ever heard porn. Yeah, they're like, my god, what the fuck? I wish Jake Marsh was in the room at that time. Is there is there is there a cat in distress? So what do you think? What do you think the root cause of that was? My theory is that somebody clicked something and opened up like Safari on their phone. and the last time they had been on Safari
Starting point is 00:13:49 Yeah, they were watching porn private. They forgot to close that out or maybe they accidentally opened up a private tab Yeah, and it was still open from last time. Yeah, sometimes I've heard that like when you close like if you and I've heard that if you have it open and you Close Safari like you know if you have a open and you close Safari, like you know if you have a YouTube video and it will still like be on your home screen to press play. Oh, were you? Yeah, yeah. I've heard that that could happen.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Was it James Brown video that you watched? Little Damp Lips, DampLips.com. Little brunette bitch sucking her trainer's cock. I'll find it for us. Hank, why don't you, let's do an experiment. Maybe pull something up on your phone, and then press play, and then see if it shows up on your home screen.
Starting point is 00:14:30 James Brown was... It was definitely damplips.com. It was damplips.com, and it was... Little Brunette. It was Sexy Little Brunette. Okay. Wait, hold on. I'm trying to find it. Oh, he deleted it, obviously. trying to find it. Obviously, we got to find it.
Starting point is 00:14:49 If I were him, I would never delete that. Yeah, no. Leave that up. It stays up. Well, let people have the fucking link. Listen, I'm a man. Yeah, the. Are you doing it? Are you doing it? All right. Hank is giving you a test right now. So press play Is not showing up
Starting point is 00:15:10 Do you have like that covenant eyes app where you're not allowed to watch porn? Oh Nope, there it is What is it? Oh, it's right there. It's right. Okay, so so now hit it and see if you can get it to play Yeah, okay was that was that fart porn? No, it was sound like a fart that I don't trust people though that don't X out right away or sexy little brunette bitch sucks. Is that me when I have to? Traders big cock. I don't trust people who don't X out right away.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I agree. You have to X out right away. The minute. The minute you call it, you're just like, what am I doing? If you don't get that, I'm saying no, that's no, no, no. That's what happened. Yeah. That's, that's, that's what I'm saying. So you close it out, walk us through what you just did. You, you're watching. Yeah. Okay. You finish some closed it out. You close out. What do you mean close it out? Like you just shut your phone and it just stays on the home. I, I, I know what you're talking about if you watch like a YouTube watching and I close it Yeah, and then I close my phone like I'm done. Yeah, but it's still amplips is still up on your phone
Starting point is 00:16:11 Yeah, mm-hmm. Got it. Why do they have the shared a Twitter button on porn videos? I mean, there's some people who probably want to share Yeah, and why do they have a comment section in porn videos people got to sound off the comment section. I give some tips I love the the porn comment section you get the real takes down there. Who is she? Yeah. Anybody have a name? Yeah. At? Can someone give it at? I hope it devolves into like goat conversations down there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is the goat. This is why she's my goat. Yeah. By the way, Steve, skip bail us or Stephen Smith apologizing makes me think that Stephen or skip bail us is like, he is not as popular as Stephen Smith. I think that debate is over. You think you think Stephen a won the breakup?
Starting point is 00:16:56 He won the breakup, but I think skip bail us one. Uh, if you want to say like who stayed true to themselves, the skip is still just firing Crazy takes with no remorse. He had one that I'm mad that we didn't come up with When Frank Vogel got fired for the from the Suns He said Frank Vogel led the Lakers to the 2020 championship since then he's already been fired twice Shows you how the league viewed the Lakers bubble title Mickey Mouse. Yeah, everybody else Frank Vogel getting fired twice shows you how the league viewed the Lakers bubble title, Mickey Mouse. Yeah, everybody else. Frank Vogel getting fired twice. God damn, that's good. Mickey Mouse. Good detective work. Also, that makes me think that how Skip Bayless has lost two consecutive breakups. You would agree that also Shannon Sharp has been just next level.
Starting point is 00:17:39 So it's like Skip Bayless is good luck Chuck, where if you get with Skip Bayless, then your career is about to absolutely take off I like as soon as you get done not having to talk to skip Bayless anymore Life becomes so much better skip Bayless try to make a manual at show popular challenge. Yeah level impossible Um actually skip if you want to be an intern on part of my take. Yeah, we'll take you I'll take you on we were looking for a Cowboys fan. Mm-hmm. That'd be great. Uh We should got what if we got Tiff fucked up with Skip Bayless? Will you do that to Ernestine? I don't know if Ernestine exists.
Starting point is 00:18:10 No, she does. Does she? Yeah, oh yeah. They don't sleep in the same bed during the week. Yeah, I don't know. Who takes those videos? Ernestine. It might be Ernestine. Either Ernestine or Wiz Khalifa. That's it. Yeah. Right That's the only two options little Wayne little Wayne my bad He's best friends with little Wayne. Yes, I was close Wait who does with Wale what he's with like swallet is he roof of the Steelers? He's a Pirates fan He is All right. All right. I knew he was a sports fan. But yeah, Lil Wayne's Packers fan. Yeah, look, there's Ernstine right there Right there on the on the screen. I don't
Starting point is 00:18:49 Right there. I wish we should talk about the last week because if I speak it will be in big trouble Let's talk about the Thunder and Mavs I'm might be out on the Thunder Okay, they're young. They're fun. SGA is awesome They're young. They're fun SGA is awesome Chad is awesome. I love Lou Dort even though this might not have been the best Lou Dort game because they were like Hey, let's what if we just did UFC to Luka all game Lou Dort just delivered like a perfect knee to the midsection on one of those plays and Lucas like I know we said that He he lets you know he's hurt. He he's actually hurt now because they just keep hurting
Starting point is 00:19:26 So I think that two things can be true about Luca one is he complains about everything Yeah, and the second is he's also tough as fuck also Max told us after the show on Friday He was like when you guys were talking about Luca being the new Big Ben I was just silently being like, please don't bring up and bead and bead is the new Big Ben. That was our fault Yeah correction that good point. Good point max I'm out on the Thunder for one reason they can they can win me back. I Thought that was so fucking lame that they did hack a lively with six minutes left. Yeah down five Yeah, it was a five-point game and they started doing hack a shack on Derek Lively who I love. I
Starting point is 00:20:06 always root for the guy who gets hacked to prove them wrong. And he did. He went eight for 12 from free throws. You're the one seed and you're down five in the fourth quarter with six minutes left and you have SGA and one of the best players in the NBA and you're doing fucking hack a hack a lively. Also come come on man Lively has become one of my favorite players one of my favorite role players in the NBA Yeah, he works so hard on defense, but that he's fun to watch and when you do there was one time when Chet was chasing him Around the court yeah, like he was playing tag Yeah And like lively had to run out of bounds and run back in bounds and Chet was just like running out with his arms outstretched
Starting point is 00:20:42 Like pay pay lapue trying to catch the girl cat It was very funny to watch, but you're right, I root for the guy that is being singled out as big a shitty free throw shooter. And it just ruins the flow of the game. The end of the game, it was a great game, and then it just got clunky, and we're going the free throw line, and again, it's six minutes left, you're down five.
Starting point is 00:21:01 I don't wanna see this happen in basketball again, where it's like, this is what the analytics tell us We got to just start following this guy play the game out and haters of the NBA will say we only have to watch the last Two minutes of the game those which are the best parts usually of a game. Yeah, and they're taking that away from us Yeah, it just I don't know. I again they can win me back But I I think even Thunder fans probably were a little disappointed in that because you're the one seed you have a really good team You have a lot of young, awesome players that are learning how to play in the playoffs, and then you're doing this bullshit
Starting point is 00:21:30 with six minutes left. We also should shout out PJ Washington, who's like the best player ever. 27 points. So this was the first time that Kyrie and Luca have played together on the Mavs, and one of those two is not the leading scorer on their team. Yeah, he's been incredible. He's I think everyone graded that an F trade when he got traded from the Hornets, but he's been awesome. And then Kyrie in one on one situations at the end of the game. I don't know who else. I mean, maybe you'd say Jokic one on one situation,
Starting point is 00:22:00 but like, he's got to be top three in terms of you need a basket. Just let Kyrie do whatever he's got to do and he'll get it. I think, yeah, I don't know if he'd be number one, but he'd definitely be number one in terms of guy that I like to watch play basketball with all in his hands one-on-one at the end of the game. And they were actually playing decent defense. He's just so good. You know what he's really good at? And I know that Steph Curry did this a few times, but I think Kyrie's better. The pretending to pick up your dribble move. Yeah. And you have to watch Kyrie and you have to watch him in slow-mo to watch every time that
Starting point is 00:22:30 he does it because he does like nine different moves every time you think he's doing one move. Right. But he'll pick that hand up and put it next to the ball and take it away so fast that it just gets a defender to just make one small move, hesitate for a second, come up to try to block a shot or get in his way and then he's past you but he does that It's so smooth and so fun to watch Yeah, especially when he he like does three between the legs two behind the back spin move floater in the lane with his left hand Yeah, it's poetry. It's incredible and I
Starting point is 00:23:00 So I'm I'm gonna let the Thunder maybe win me back because they are so young and so fun to watch, but that pissed me off. You're the one seed. You're a good basketball team. You're a really good basketball team. They thought they had something. I just, it just ruins the flow of the game and Derek Lively proved that he was up for it.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Yeah, so what's his free throw percentage normally? Let's find it. You said he's eight for 12, right? But you know it's some, you know it's some some ner- I bet you the guys on the thunder are like, this is bullshit. We don't want to do this. Yeah, it's a nerd. There's a nerd. It's a nerd. We haven't, we have a nerd in the building in Oklahoma city. Right. And he's, and he's got too much power. So we got to figure out how to get this nerd out of here. Uh, all right, Derek Lively. And this is taking a lot for me to defend a Duke player like this. He's 50%, 50.6% in his career from free throw.
Starting point is 00:23:51 But he is also again, watching him, especially on the defensive end. He's a fun player. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the Mavs are they look good. They look good. Not scared. They're number four on Hank's scared of teams. Yeah. OK, Hank, would you like to talk about your game? Yes, I'd love to. Feels like Jason Tatum listened to everyone. And by the way, we weren't the only ones. I think actually we were probably the nicest of the things that were said about Jason Tatum,
Starting point is 00:24:16 because there was a lot of people who were like, he's just flat out not the guy. Yeah, haters. If you remember, our answer to the question was yeah. And he was awesome on Saturday night. Yeah, he's playing super aggressive wasn't hitting really hitting his threes but still driving to the hoop got 30 points the hard way. Also, he's an incredible rebounder who doesn't get enough credit for that and they need that with Chris stops out and he's an incredible playmaker. He gets double triple teamed every time he's good
Starting point is 00:24:43 at you know, getting the getting the rock to his teammates. Great drew holiday game. First time I feel like he really like showed up big in the playoffs and you can definitely notice how different the defense is without porzing. It's like getting him back. You know, they're going to need him back fully healthy, but he could be back next game, right? Yeah. We're at this several. Yeah. They should say him till next year. It's like, it's not, oh it's yeah, it's necessary, but, but but you know in the beginning of the game when Horford is the biggest guy in the lineup It's it's just a it's a different defense But so what if the Cavs win the next one at that point are you like get get Chris stops back?
Starting point is 00:25:15 Yeah, you might you might start having those conversations. You might start having those conversations if he's fully healthy you might The proverbial you. You. Yes. I have a question for you about the Celtics. Are the Celtics going to go an entire playoff? Let's say they go to the finals. I think they'll be in the finals. We don't know what's going to happen in the finals.
Starting point is 00:25:38 But will they be the first team to ever get to the finals without playing a single memorable playoff game. It's crazy. Every game is either they kick the shit out of the opponent when their two losses are they got the shit kicked out of them. They haven't played in one like big fourth quarter moment yet. And that's not a knock on them because they're really, really good. I saw a stat they had a 20 point lead in 52% of their games this year. So it's not like, it's not their fault that they're just better than everyone, especially in the East. But isn't it crazy? Like they haven't had, I know you're watching it differently, but every single game they've played so far in the playoffs have just been laughters one way or the other. I mean it's only two two losses but that's just what it's been. Yeah I feel like there's probably like a Warriors maybe the
Starting point is 00:26:27 Warriors runs but even the losses were probably closer because that's that's been the two weird. Yeah it's weird right. Right it's not even dominated every other game. Right so Pigcat I have a question for you. Yeah. If you were a Celtics fan actually Max I have a question for you. Oh yeah boss. Massachusetts? Max. As a Celtics fan would you be concerned at all going into the finals if you haven't played any close games because you don't know how to win close games? No. You want me to apologize for beating the shit out of teams?
Starting point is 00:26:55 Or getting the shit kicked out of you by teams? That's fine. You want me to apologize for winning? People lose games. Teams lose games. Put it on a quote. I'll let the West go battle it out game by game. We just keep winning over here in Boston. Fuck it.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Max is really fucking good at being in Boston. Yeah, he's really good. He's from Massachusetts. Yeah, no, it's not even a knock on the Celtics. They just haven't... The next sixers series was like every single game was a war. Even the next Pacers obviously today wasn't. But like there's been some memorable games in these playoffs and Celsius have just not been part of any of them because they're just so much. They're so much better. Right. Right. It's not their fault. And the two losses are weird.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Two losses where they got the shit kicked out of them. So you think that would you be I guess it doesn't matter. But it's weird to think like they could get to the oh, I don't get the yeah at all right At all it doesn't matter and they're they'll smoke whoever wins the next Pacers Would you rather be smoke or the Pacers the next so you want the next one? Are you saying that because the Knicks have like two people left? No, I just love beating New York little brother mmm also there's no a little revenge for the In season and season tournament. Yeah, we could forget Yeah, but if you played the Knicks, then you'd also get to do the double duty of after you beat him be like here come the excuses You're like you're already doing that ahead of time where it's like I want to play the Knicks because they will make
Starting point is 00:28:23 Excuses for not having any players, which by the way, that's a legitimate excuse I think if you're the Knicks if all your players are injured But then you get to you just have it's like a car that he just doesn't change the oil like you just you just roll The tires out and he's rolling on the rims and he's like, alright, let's just keep going I got another 20 miles in this thing. He wanted to keep his starters in the fourth quarter, too He felt like it tonight Like as long as I've known big cat was you know when the Tibbs was the Bulls coach and he's always said it But he just runs people out. So this is the discussion now with the Knicks and I
Starting point is 00:28:58 It's I don't know if you guys saw but I weighed in in the fact that it's just you can you can look at this However, you want to look at it because Tibbs does run his guys very hard. I know that no Knicks I think were in the top 10 in minutes played this season. So he maybe has figured it out a little bit. But they're gassed right now and they're gassed because they have injuries so it's like a chicken and an egg. I don't think that he specifically has caused this situation that the Knicks are in where it's like Julius Randall hurt his shoulder on a like going like Jaime Hawkez play, which was weird. OG's always hurt and he was traded halfway through the season, so he didn't even get the
Starting point is 00:29:41 full Tibbs treatment. Brunson, you could say, he was like 14th in minutes, and he's clearly not 100%. He doesn't seem like he has the same burst in the last couple of games. But you have to play him. But you have to play him. And then Josh Hart, yeah, he's been played to death, and he looks gassed. But again, he has no one else to play. So in a weird way like Yes, Tibbs does do that He plays his guys really hard and he always is playing like in the middle of February He's like you guys got to go as hard as possible But I think this one situation like it's kind of just fluke injuries and I don't I don't know if you can blame him 100% for this. Yeah, if it's a shoulder you can't like that stuff happens people get hurt. I think Bogdan had a
Starting point is 00:30:24 Wrist already when he showed up shoulder, you can't like that stuff happens. People get hurt. I think Bogdan had a, a wrist already when he showed up. So I don't know which I get. I, and then Mitchell Robinson is kind of injury prone too. So I don't know. He does. It's crazy not to say like Nick's fans who would say like Tibbs is completely blameless in all of this. That's nuts. He does. He does play his guys hard. I don't think that he caused these injuries this time. It was the Warriors, right? Where they had all those injuries in the NBA finals that one year.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Yeah. And play and Kevin Durant. Yeah, play and KD. Yeah, like just- Nobody was like, Steve Kerr treats his guys like shit. Yeah, it's like those guys played a shitload of extra games every single year and their summer didn't start for like an extra three months because they went to the finals. It sucks to watch the Knicks run out of gas
Starting point is 00:31:06 I don't know. Maybe the mecca is the great equalizer because it does feel Was that your phone still open? Sorry. Yeah, my bad I just think it's funny that we have to pull up a random porn video and went straight to Brazilian fart porn. Yeah We also should give credit to the Pacers because the Pacers played great. I mean, that three on Friday night from Nemhart was incredible. Yeah. That was a total don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot. Holy fuck, he shot it and it went in.
Starting point is 00:31:37 And the first quarter, that first quarter, you're right, probably doesn't happen at the Mecca. Right. But it happened. It happened today. And- And T.J. McConnell, by the way. Oh. But it happened. It happened today. And and TJ McConnell, by the way. Oh, so fun to watch. Play him. I've got I got a quote from I think it's from heart. He said TJ McConnell is annoying little shit. Love it. But he said that in like an endearing way. He's like,
Starting point is 00:31:56 I think that's how people talk about me too. Yeah, I love watching this guy play. But it's he's make t shirts with his face annoying little shit. He uh, it does feel like the Pacers are the worst team right now for the Knicks to just lose everyone because they push the pace. They're young and they do have depth. And so it's, I mean, they, they deserve a lot of them. They could not miss today and they held serve at home. I don't think they've lost a home playoff game. So I, they're fun to watch. I mean, they're young and they're fun. Like they score, they score, they score again. They're playing good defense too. Again, I don't know how much of that is the Knicks just not having anybody to play basketball, but they don't, they traditionally don't play
Starting point is 00:32:36 defense. Now they're playing a little. And I think that Jalen Brunson is one of those guys that will just never admit that he's hurt, even though he's clearly hurt. Yeah. And it's, he even said after the game, he asked if he has less burst and he said, I'm fine. I'm fine. When you got to say I'm fine twice, you're just the I'm fine dog. Yeah. In the burning house. This is fine. Yeah. But he, Jalen Brunson will never make an excuse. He just, he kept on saying that. He's like, why would I say that we're shorthanded? We just lost. You know who really lost? They were actually not the Knicks was Villanova. Yeah, Villanova took a bad out today. All their guys. Yeah, Dante DiVincenzo was incredible on Friday night.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Wasn't able to do it. They look tired. They look very, very tired. And that is partially Tibbs. But again, I don't think the injuries were like, I don't think you can point to all of them. And then people bring up like Derek Rowe, I got a bunch of those replies like I don't even point to all of them and then people bring up like Derek Row I got a bunch of those replies when I'm saying Derek Rose was gonna get in He shouldn't have been in the game that he got injured the first ACL injury Derek Rose was gonna like his body was not able to handle the NBA like he a smaller guy playing He had ankle injuries before he got to the NBA like it sucks
Starting point is 00:33:42 It sucks that it that it happened that way But I don't think Tibbs was the reason why Derrick Rose had injuries. Counterpoint's a fun narrative. Well, he shouldn't have been in the game. That was the part. It was against the Sixers in that first round matchup and he was in the game, we were up like 20,
Starting point is 00:33:55 and it was like, why are you in the game? But if you ask me, if he wasn't in the game that specific time, would Derrick Rose just never tear his ACL? I would probably say that's a far-fetched dream that you have. Yeah, if you dig into the numbers, there's definitely some loophole, but I do like Hank simplifying it down to like, it's a car and he's not changing the oil. Yeah. No, he coaches hard. I'd rather have him as my coach than not. He's a fucking great coach.
Starting point is 00:34:20 And he always has teams overachieving with with guys like that shouldn't be doing what they're doing. And that's kind of the story of this Knicks season. They've been the only thing I'll say to Knicks fans I don't like is them using Julius Randall as like if we had Julius Randall they fucking killed that guy last year and he sucked. But they like remember they ripped down his poster and they were like fuck him get him out of here. He sucked in the playoffs. Yeah, he's bad fans. But you, I don't think they're bad fans, but you can't say like, oh, but if we had Julius Randall after last year, when you're like, get him off our team, they're fake fans.
Starting point is 00:34:54 No, they're not. They're not fake fans. They win one game. Bing bong Maxie. They're not fake fans. I think the X fans are some of the best fans. Maxie think that this is like a badge of honor for the Sixers Like you beat the Knicks up so bad that they're not even able to get to a next series
Starting point is 00:35:08 Well, you hurt Mitchell and beat hurt. I mean just being a little bitch back here. He was like, oh, you're Julie's friend Who's hurt last year? So that's why oh he was playing the entire playoffs last year, but you hated him No, but nobody knew that he was hurting he was playing hurt and then everybody's like, oh, that's our guy Okay, fine. That's a fair. We're back up. Yeah, they put the poster back up. Yeah, no Julius Randall's fun. He's really just Randall fucking blows But we're giving excuses to people who are playing hurt We're not giving a season I love this we're saying that people found out that he was hurt. Okay, that's fair. That's fair That's a fair. That's a fair. He was hurt. Did you tell everybody that he's hurt? That's true I love max and memes going this is what to expect on April Fool's Day and part of my take next year
Starting point is 00:35:55 Yeah, max and memes podcast memes you do you do realize from the outside looking in it's like you they Know fan base was meaner than they were to Julius Randall last year. And then to be like, well, if we had Julius Randall. Yeah, no, everybody was mean. Very mean. And then they found out that he was hurt and they were like, uh. Did anyone issue like a My Bad? Full page ad maybe?
Starting point is 00:36:19 Yeah. Was there like a whoops? Sorry. We moved on. It just, you know, next season. Act like it didn't happen? You think he forgets that that happened? No, definitely not, but. Justops. Sorry on it. Just oh next season act like it didn't happen you think he forgets that that happened No, definitely not but Story like his like wife watching them rip down his statue or a poster
Starting point is 00:36:35 Somebody there should be one guy spike leash should apologize to him. Yeah, we need someone to apologize just so that everyone else can move on Cuz I guarantee you he has not moved on. No. He's probably faking this playoff so that he doesn't give you little shits anymore joy in your life. True. Memes? No, he was doing so good before he got hurt too. Yeah, because he wanted to break your heart.
Starting point is 00:37:00 He was, but then that's not playoffs. He wanted to give you all the hope because you treated him so badly Last year no, he's fine. He loves New York So we got I don't know there's gonna be I mean Hank calling Nick's fans fake fake fans another Say what you want about Nick fans, but they are they're legit fans They don't abandon the team and years of sadness the Mecca still sells out when they sucked. I think Hank's just looking at Rico and just being like that's all next week. He's a fan of himself. No, I Rico's a real next time that's But there's there's plenty of people that just hop on now that we're in the playoffs every every team that does well has a bandwagon
Starting point is 00:37:39 That's the dead sports. I Don't know. I think I think it's more than I've been to the Mecca for Celtics games when the next sucked and it was like 50% Celtics fans. I don't know. I think there's, I think Nick, I think New York is like a true, true basketball city. So when they're like good, you, you obviously see it more, more boisterous, but like those are, those are real basketball fans. Yeah. Maybe it's not real Nick fans. Got it. I love it. We're gonna get, I hope we,
Starting point is 00:38:07 it's probably not gonna happen, but I want Nick Celtics just to see how much Hank pisses off the entire set. It's good. It's what he does best. Get it going. Okay. Should we talk some hockey?
Starting point is 00:38:21 Hank, the Bruins have just gotten beat up with some cheap shots. A lot of cheap shots star players that one. Not HL isn't doing anything. Wait, but we got to give credit to who's the guy who cheap sharded? No, no. I will not say is that it. No, no, no. Here's why I got to give credit. It took like 17 slow, like alternate angle shots for people to fully see the fact that he punched Marshawn. He did a really good job with that shot. It was a great cheap shot to the point we had to wait for the alternate angle to come out which was I think the next day.
Starting point is 00:38:56 We didn't get the actual angle of him throwing the punch until later. All we saw was the glove kind of emerging from behind his body. So if he fooled high definition, like 75 inch plasma TVs, he definitely fooled the refs that were watching that happen in real time. So he got away with it. He definitely punched my face. Now there were a lot of people that were throwing around a retaliatory clips response clips online to all the cell, all the Bruins fans that were complaining that showed Marshawn punching people in the face with a gloved hand from earlier in the series. So it's like I think Marshawn
Starting point is 00:39:28 would probably do something like this too but he was just on there was also another hit that that he had at the end of the game where Marshawn dove head first into somebody else's head and they made head-to-head contact which also might have been the reason why it was out today with a concussion. So it might not have been from that cheap shot. Although he was definitely concussed, but they brought him back in the game afterwards. Yeah, absolute cheap shot. And then, I mean, you have to, I agree with the cheap shot. He, he sucker punched him, but in terms of cheap shots, he did such a good job of hiding the sucker punch that we weren't able to figure
Starting point is 00:40:04 it out for a while. I don't know. I, something's fishy with the NHL and this Panthers team. I can't, I can't put my finger on it. I don't understand why, but that happened. And it's like, you know, why does it take the next day for the camera angle to come out? Cause it existed. They could have, they probably had it. Toronto probably had it in real time. They didn't suspend them, which is crazy. And then today, same guy cross-checked Charlie Coyle into Swainman so he couldn't block the shot and then hit a goal in. Clear as day goalie interference. I'm not a hockey head, but they reviewed it. He cross-checked a guy into the goalie, which interfered from the goalie being able to save the goal and they didn't call it and
Starting point is 00:40:47 Then the Bruins challenged it lost lost the challenge So they came back on a power play and I was like the Bruins didn't have a shot for the next seven minutes It felt like I didn't watch the game on Friday night I just saw a bunch of people tweeting from our own company being like why is the crowd so silent? I thought it was one or two tweets. I mean it's it's it's the lulls of a hockey game. Bad sports style? I was just asking I again I did not watch the game so I have no idea. It was rockin. It was rockin today. Yeah, and the playoffs to get a bunch of fake fans bandwagoners. Yeah. Come in don't know when to cheer
Starting point is 00:41:22 You don't see them throughout the regular season. Yeah, I'm a fake Bruins fan. I don't I don't I have no problem saying that but the Bruin the the people that are fans of the Bruins and go to the games are die hard so probably more than any other sport in Boston like there's you know, the percentage of usually is the case for fake fans versus die hards and like the Bruins true Bruins fans are eat live breathe, breathe, die. Would you say that that hit was, would you say it's a dirty play? The sucker punch? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Yeah. That's interesting because your own coach said that it wasn't dirty. Oh. He said it was outside the lines, but it wasn't dirty. Outside the lines? Yeah. But not dirty? But not dirty.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Wait, so. I don't know what the difference is. So there's inside the lines play. Yeah, that's normal hockey play. Normal hockey play. Good hockey play what the difference is so there's inside the lines play Yeah, it's normal hockey player normal hockey play good hockey plays what they say there's outside the lines, huh? Then there's dirty then there's dirty afterwards and then is there anything after that scumbag? I think after that maybe scumbag move dangerous cheap shot assault. Yeah Horrifying act of violence. Yeah, would be next up after that. So oh wow So this is kind of a loophole. Like this is the new, this is the new moneyball for hockey.
Starting point is 00:42:29 We need to build a hockey team that knows how to play outside the lines but never dirty. But not dirty, yeah, just up to that line. Wow. You want to go right up to the line of playing outside the line. Yeah. Does that make sense?
Starting point is 00:42:42 We should actually do some research on this and we should try some outside the lines plays on Hank, but never get dirty. Not dirty. We won't get dirty. And just see what happens. Yeah, see what happens. Oh yeah. So yeah, you say, you say see what happens, which is essentially the Bruins response after
Starting point is 00:42:58 that alleged cheap shot that was outside the lines. And then nothing really happened. No one really took a run at him. There was, there was some scuffling. I mean, what are you supposed to do? You're down in the series. You like, you can't just be given up penalty minutes. They did take a couple penalties that were clearly just like rage hits essentially. Yeah. That one period rocked. I love Pat Maroon by the way. But they're, they're down in the series. They got a scratching cloth or everything. They
Starting point is 00:43:23 get the NHL is trying to rig a Panthers Rangers Eastern Conference finals. They much have that then Bruins Rangers Yeah, it's it's sad. What is that? What are they rigging that for? Anti I'm trying to figure out They wanted Hurricanes Panthers. No, they want they want Panthers Rangers. Okay, but the Hurricanes won this weekend. So maybe they want Hurricanes Panthers. Yeah, they want Hurricane traditional hockey towns, right? Raleigh. Now, speaking of that series, Rangers fans legit the Mecca the right the Rangers games are memes, memes. We you were you were out on a bachelor party
Starting point is 00:44:03 this weekend. So you were not here on Thursday night, but one underrated part of This show is memes hatred for Rangers fans is actually maybe stronger than his love for any of his own teams So where are you right now because they look awesome. I know they lost in overtime Was it overtime? Yeah overtime on Saturday Where are you? I'm at the point the I said the Hurricanes. It wasn't over time. I don't think no it was it was yeah They won power play goal with like three minutes left. Yes, I was watching I forgot it
Starting point is 00:44:39 Yeah, the Rangers are really good, but the Hurricanes goalie is playing absolutely dogshit this entire series So it's like one of those you know I Don't think the Rangers are definitely good. I don't think they're so you're not worried I'll be worried if it's like the Rangers are very good to Oh against the Panthers next series That's worry worry level maximum and and what a whole range the home ice advantage for them that was Yeah, what if the Rangers best best left in the play? Yeah, what if the well? Yeah, especially since the Coliseum is gone Wait say that again
Starting point is 00:45:18 You heard what I said Hank said the Rangers have the best home ice advantage I said especially since the Coliseum is gone and you sold out now the Canucks the best home ice advantage, I said, especially since the Coliseum's gone and you sold out. No, the Canucks, the Canucks is probably up there. Okay, so, but you're, what are you going to do if the Rangers win the cup? They're not going to win the cup. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:35 That's, I want him there. That's a great place for us to have him. They're not, they're not, they're not, they're not, they're not winning the cup. I want him there, no, I'm saying I want him in a spot where he's, he's basically saying to himself there's zero percent chance. They can win the cup and if How could you say a team that's up 3-1 in the second round has a zero percent chance to win the cup They've got one of the best parade if they win. Yes. Yeah, you have to cover that one of the best goaltenders They've got probably their best goaltender ever. Oh
Starting point is 00:46:01 I like that sir the pot. Okay. Wait, so memes. Why do you hate Rangers fans so much? They're just the worst. They're just the same as like Yankee fans. You know, they just think they're the best of all time They've won one Stanley Cup in like the last hundred years and they just think they're the fucking shit But they have won a Stanley Cup more recently than the Islanders. Yeah, who cares one for in a row I also love the idea of memes walking past MSG and looking at it one night being like this is the best place on earth And the next night he walks past I mean, it's a basketball
Starting point is 00:46:34 Yeah, it's a Billy Joel Stadium. Yeah, yeah, Billy Joel Nicks I Fucking hate the Rangers everybody on the bachelor party was Rangers fans. So like they every they were just all celebrating I was like this sucks Sounds like fun. Yeah The stars look good and then now the the shocker of the play We're watching it with what eight minutes left the Oilers look like they might lose this game or two There have been two knocks are just gonna be pain. Are the Canucks a team of Destiny?
Starting point is 00:47:05 So many close goals here. I don't know. Would we consider them a team of Destiny right now? The way Biz described them last week when he was on was like, no one expected him to be here. They won a very tough division. And everyone's like, nice story, but they're not going to win at all.
Starting point is 00:47:21 I think they might be a team of Destiny. I do love their home crowd, too. Yeah, and the Canucks have one of the scariest propositions in all sports is that if they get to the final and don't win the cup, they'll just burn their whole city down. That's true. They've done it multiple times.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Yeah, they love to tear it. Also, I was going to say, if they don't win the cup, then they know that they're not going to get another chance at it for like 15 years. Yeah. Like Edmonton, if they lose in the Stanley Cup this year, they're going to be like, this fucking blows. But we've got McDavid, we'll be back, good young players.
Starting point is 00:47:54 If the Oilers lose this round, that would be a big disappointment. Yeah. Big disappointment. Yeah, so it looks like the Canucks might win this game. We'll update it as we go along in the show. Hank, do you think there's any chance that the NHL leadership in Toronto is fucking the Bruins because you guys beat the Maple Leafs every year in the playoffs Potentially look into that
Starting point is 00:48:17 Yeah, I could see that Also that were the little payback couldn't can they just have Toronto beat you guys in the playoffs every now and again I'm trying to help you out. I'm trying to connect some dots for you Yeah, I mean that I tell if they were smart if they were like the NBA they would they would have had a Canadian Stanley Cup Final at this point. I just want one team. Yeah, I wanted like it has like it has to happen I want to believe sort of Canada be the greatest it would be the greatest Yeah, I do not care such a fun series doesn't matter what two teams. Yeah, right right now. I don't care Who wins but I just it would be nice to have a Canadian team in the Stanley Cup finals here
Starting point is 00:48:57 Yeah, when's the last oh, I guess the 1990 no no last in it last in it the Canadians right weren't they in the bubble Didn't they lose to I want to say the bubble I want to say they lost to this is gonna test our hockey knowledge memes you want to help me out here no Want to help me memes lightning? I think they lost the lightning right in 2021 was maybe it was the year after the bubble Yeah, yeah, we're it was a very forgettable one because the Lightning smoked them. And I feel like there were no fans. So that was also like hockey with no fans might be.
Starting point is 00:49:31 We got over football with no fans, because it's still football. But hockey with no fans feels so weird. Wait, it was the Lightning and the Canadians. They're both in the East, right? Oh, yeah. But wasn't there a? Yeah, no, but I think they did a weird bubble thing, right? Those are
Starting point is 00:49:47 two Eastern teams. I know that is. All right, we got to figure this out. Because they just you think they just took away divisions because of I don't I can't remember. means looking at that Stanley Cup finals. We're going here. We need a goal here. This is bad. All right, here we go, boys. I'm gonna find this. I'm gonna find this. Yeah, it was. Someone say something. Yeah, I remember, it was weird.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Yeah, cause they did the pods. Remember they did the pods? Yeah. There was that weird system. Because they had to finish out the playoff. Yeah, it was just weird fucking. Oh, it was the Canadian shit. The Canadian teams had a different.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Yeah. Oh yeah, because they had different COVID restrictions, so they had to play in their own pods and then come... That's right. That's a weird... That's a question you'll get wrong in trivia. God damn, that would have been so awesome though if they had won the Bubble Championship through the Canadian pod and then everybody would be like, yeah, Canada won it, but it's really Mickey Mouse. Yeah. And then yeah, the Canucks when they burned the city down when they lost the Bruins
Starting point is 00:50:48 I'm looking right now the Senators played the Ducks in 2007 and The Oilers lost the Hurricanes in 06. Yeah fucking someone's got a win one What do what's the problem? This is ice. Oh Oh Mrs. Ice I know I need a goal too. They've had like five like shots that should have been goals. 40 shots! Mrs. Ice can't lose although it would not on Mother's Day. Yeah but it would also be perfect. They're meant for each other. Mrs. Ice lost on Mother's Day. Oh by the way I feel like we're getting a goal. We have to we have to missus ice. She can't lose this Okay, let's do can we get her seen off the TV
Starting point is 00:51:32 She's been staring at her. She's an industry plan. What did not real put damp lips back up No, these are just more pictures of earnest, what are you doing max stop? I thought you wanted more I thought you wanted more. I thought you wanted more. Put Sydney Sweeney up with it. Remember that time you just started searching for her? I wasn't searching for her.

Which I've never had more FOMO because I'm just convinced as a lifelong loser, if I don't get it like the minute it happens, I'm the guy who's gonna jump on and then lose everything. But I sat and watched for weeks where it just kept on going up. I was like, God damn it.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Is that back up? I don't know. Because I still have some. I really, really wanna be in on this one. I really, really wanna nail this one. Yeah, so just, oh no, that looks like it's still down. Yeah, it's still down. Okay.

Yeah. Touching stuff. Jake doing bing bong maxi for Max Homo was awesome. Yep. Yeah. It was great. stuff. Jake doing Bing Bong Maxi for Max Homo was awesome. Yep. Yeah. It was great. But Rory, I feel like he's the king of winning the championship right before major. Then everyone talks about him. It's a major week. Right. He's going to win a major and then he like misses the cut. So who's back? Rory fooling fooling us about him being back. Yeah. Scottie Shepard saw his night as baby. He has had his baby. Scottie Shepard's had his baby. Congratulations. He had his baby right before Mother's Day. I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure there was it was I saw a tweet

Starting point is 00:57:07 And they had a good point. Because I sat him on the present, and I tried to show him how to rip the wrapping paper. Didn't do anything. And then my other two kids were like, see, we told you. And then they opened all his presents. Your daughter's like, is this Chuck E. Cheese? Yeah, it was a master class by them.
Starting point is 00:57:22 They dominated me on that one. I've never understood that meme with the guy that's holding out out his hand for the butterfly and he says is this something? Yeah, I'm talking about that but it seems like that's your daughter with every is this Chuck E Cheese? Is this Chuck E Cheese? Did you see an update on Chuck E Cheese? They're getting rid of the original Chuck E Cheese mascot in almost all their locations. What? Yeah. Why? The scary one. Oh The super scary rat. Yeah, the rat one. Yeah. No, I think they're just phasing it out. Maybe sign that they're going out of business.
Starting point is 00:57:50 That I got to get there and do my part and keep Chuck E. I might hold Chuck E. Cheese. Look at this, Chuck E. Cheese animatronic band will be phased out by the end of this year. It is scary. You know what this means though? This means that they're going to have to get rid of the actual mascot, meaning that there are going to have to get rid of the actual mascot.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Meaning that there are going to be hundreds of these animatronic, scary mascots to purchase. We got to buy one. We have to buy one. We need one of these. Yeah, we need one of the Chuck E. the Charles Entertainment cheese mascot. I will get back in my auction phase. I had one briefly where I was just trying to buy stuff when Dominic's an old grocery store in Chicago was going out of business trying to
Starting point is 00:58:25 Buy like carts and stuff this this we got to get this if someone wants to gift us one great Otherwise, we'll do it the old-fashioned way and we'll figure out a way to get it. We need one in the office Yeah, we need one when you walk in the office because then it's Chuck E Cheese Every fucking time we come here we come here almost every weekend. It's Chuckie. That's a problem solved right? Yep. All right What was yours back? Rory that was like one of those always sunny skits where we zoom out. We're like, oh Hank, you're still here Rory's back. He won the Wells Fargo Jake Max Scotty Shaffer Scotty Shaffler won his last start before

Starting point is 00:59:17 Love it. Let's get some fucking wagers going. I don't know. What? Let's think about reloading on the live thing, but probably not. Yeah, you gotta take the baby bump, right? You're gonna feel like an idiot if you bet against Scotty. Oh, my God. They missed an open netter. This is ice. This is the worst. This is ice has two minutes for glory. It's on Mother's Day. Is Mrs. Ice like watching intently on a laptop? Has to be.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Has to be. Has to be. She rips her shirt off afterwards. Alright, so who's your pick to win? Brooks. Okay, smart. Good man. We'll do some golf stuff this week. We'll figure out We'll get some I I kind of like that they got the PGA Championship earlier, but it always does sneak up on me. Cause remember how it used to be PGA Championship was last and no one would care. They're like, fuck it, we're going to hop the line. Oh, oh, oh, Mrs. Ice. That's a good goal.
Starting point is 01:00:16 Mrs. Ice, she did it. Let's go. Mrs. Ice, what a fucking goal. All right, PFT, your who's back. My who's back of the week is horse racing. Because it is Preakness week where- We'll have Randy on. We're gonna have Randy on Mystic Dang, going for the second leg of it. And we talked a little bit about Secretariat on Friday's show
Starting point is 01:00:38 and about how Jason Kelsey thinks, always retracted his, this horse did steroids take, and then horse people went after him on Friday. I had a little bit of time on my hands. So I got on a flight. I was on my way to New York and I just thought, let me just do some research about a good old secretary or a good friend secretary. See if these claims against him have any merit to them. A couple of things. Secretary when horses, when they're elite, like secretary, they typically go on to have fruitful children, right?
Starting point is 01:01:10 Yeah. Right. Their comm is worth millions of dollars. Yeah. Secretary had 663 children. I don't know what you call them. He had 663 ponies. That's a fucking lot of child support.
Starting point is 01:01:23 Get well, no, he's actually deadbeat dad Okay, and one of his daughters was just found like in the woods somewhere And they had to rescue her and then now she's still alive Jesus crying She's almost dead But she got rescued and she had to be adopted by a foster agency because secretary such a piece of shit anyways He had 663 children guess how many of his kids won a triple crown race out of 663? And he was probably being bred to the fastest. I don't want to say zero to ruin this for you. I'll say five. Zero. Ah, the answer is the answers. Uh, zero of them. One to me for not saying
Starting point is 01:01:58 zero. Actually, that's wrong. Oh, one. Okay. Whoa. The answer is one. Whoa. I said five. Yeah, you said five. One of them won two legs, not the Kentucky Der whoa. The answer is one. Whoa. I said five. Yeah, you said five. One of them won two legs, not the Kentucky Derby. And then one came in second place in the Derby. Got it. So his genes, not that strong. Some people will be like, oh, but down the line, if you follow the trail enough, then you'll
Starting point is 01:02:17 see that his grandkids' grandkids won some Derbys. Yeah, question, big cat. Question, do the steroids his secretary so clearly took during his horse racing time, do they carry in his semen? No. Oh! They don't. Isn't that interesting? Interesting.
Starting point is 01:02:36 It's very interesting to me. He also, did you know that Secretariat, his legendary time at the Preakness, obviously the Belmont was the one that he won by 16 links. The race that he won at the Preakness, it's still, it's a track record, or it's one of the track records. It was at the time, it actually got lowered like 40 years after he ran in that race. They went back like seven years ago and there was a secret committee that met in Maryland, went back and reduced his time by like a second and a half. Yeah, they met in secret and they changed his times way after the fact. That's bullshit.
Starting point is 01:03:14 And this is also part of what Jason Kelsey was saying was like, we have gotten faster, bigger, stronger in everything, but not horse racing? Well, Jason Kelsey was talking about his heart mostly. Yeah, but he was saying that part too. I was making the point that every mile time has, like mile times have gradually gotten better over the years. Yeah. 100 meter dashes, 200 meter dashes.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Yeah, he said something like this too, like every sport has gotten better except horse racing. So I went back and I looked at the records, and yes, he still does hold that time at the Belmont and he holds that time at the Kentucky Derby and that's an anomaly in horse racing. Most of them have been improved upon since then. Right. Not Secretariat's time. Wow. Not Secretariat's time. He also, this is the other thing about Secretariat, I found out that a bunch of people would buy winning tickets for Secretariat. They would bet on them and then they wouldn't
Starting point is 01:04:04 cash in the ticket later because they wanted to have the ticket. It was a bunch of Darren Ravella's going out. Ricky Henderson. Ricky. Yeah. Essentially. Remember when he got, he got paid a million dollars for his first contract and framed it. Yep. Yep. And he also lost a bunch of races. This is what we don't talk about with Secretariat. We only talk about the wins with this fraud. He lost, I think three or four times and they had an excuse ready after every single loss. One time they were like, oh he has an abscess in his mouth. He had herpes. He had horse herpes and they blamed his loss on that. One time he had uncontrollable diarrhea. Another time they just tried to blame a horse for bumping him too hard and tried to get that horse disqualified.
Starting point is 01:04:41 So there's a lot of stuff with Secretariat that the more we look at it, the more questions need to be asked about old Secretariat. Okay. So this is great because we can now say, I think we should, as a podcast, we should say Flightline is our goat. So Flightline is a horse that won the Breeders' Cup two years ago. I was at it. Flightline was injured as a three-year-old so wasn't able to race in the Kentucky Derby He raced six times and he just killed everyone so he never lost never lost He lost a bunch and also it's a great one because people will be like when when people ask us who our goat is the You know
Starting point is 01:05:21 Casual fans will say secretariat or maybe even American Pharaoh will say someone would even race in the Triple Crown flight line He was an incredible horse or we could go like old school with it and say man of war Yeah, man of war is a great horse and it's sad because man of wars all his accomplishments are overshadowed by a horse That's having seconds taken off his time like 35 40 years after he ran the fucking race Yeah, I think we can all agree is bullshit. So Yeah, again, I think Jason Kelsey was on the right track and I can't wait to ask Randy Moss what his thought Yeah secretary being a fraud were yeah And we'll also we got to use this as a way to get Jason Kelsey on who has recently followed Max
Starting point is 01:06:01 Nice work Max play cool. Yeah Are you are you like second-guessing every time you send a tweet like what if Jason sees this? Do you think he followed because of what we said? No, it was definitely not a sympathy follow Do you think it was just he sure knows your vibe? Yeah, I will say this has nothing to do with this podcast I'll say this about max guys love max guys do love my dudes are fucking in love and I fucking love dudes one thing about max Guys fucking love him. I fucking love dude. Yeah Uh, all right, so I'm going with flightline. I watched him at the Breeders Cup classic
Starting point is 01:06:36 He killed everyone like nine nine lengths. Yeah flight lines a good one And that's the best horses in the world man of war though. All right, well, we'll ask Randy. Okay? Yeah, we'll say who's your goat? I just like to picking a horse that didn't race in the Triple Crowns cuz everyone's like who's flight line? Mm-hmm, you don't you don't know hitting me. You don't know horse also selfishly. I saw him in person and I was wowed Okay, I like this is gonna be great to have Randy on yeah, and we should use this to try to get Jason Kelsey on Yep, and like no podcast is defending you more than this. No, like the more you look into Secretariat, the more it stinks to high heaven. Also at the time when he was winning all these races,
Starting point is 01:07:13 people were writing about what a welcome escape this was to distract literally in Sports Illustrated, which was a good magazine at the time, said people are enthralled and we're so happy with secretary because he's distracting us from the Vietnam War yeah and Watergate Helen Keller situation yeah was secretary even real hmm wait secretary was mute no there's yes super it's superhuman super larger than life yeah the this would be great story arc if we got Jason Kelsey. We did an investigation with him. And we ended up having to go to a farm and watch horses fuck.
Starting point is 01:07:50 And so we were sitting there watching PNV with a Kelsey. That would be really nice. That would be nice. Let's finish this story arc. Great. That's a great Who's Back. My Who's Back is a simple one. It's the Detroit Pistons picking fifth in the draft. Yeah. So we had the lottery on Sunday. Weird time for it or
Starting point is 01:08:12 no? I think it was a weird time. They usually used to do it like on a Tuesday night, a half time of one of the games. I think maybe because this draft doesn't really have anyone of note. Although I was talking to someone, they said that this draft doesn't really have anyone of note. Although I was talking to someone, they said that this draft doesn't have like obviously a Wemba Nyama or a Zion Williamson, but they're like, there's some really good players. It's just, you're basically taking a guess one through 14. Like one of one or two of these guys can end up being incredible, but they could be the 10th pick, not the first pick. It feels like the safe bets are guys like clinging. Yeah, is a safe bet.
Starting point is 01:08:46 So I'm working out. Don't know if he's going to work down in this office yesterday. Don't know if he's going to be a superstar, but he's probably going to be a good NBA player. Uh, and then that's pretty much the safest pick. Yeah. Uh, uh, uh, Duke, uh, the guard shit is named Jeram. Yeah. Um, but the Pistons, I feel bad for Pistons fans. The Detroit Pistons. Now this draft is a weird draft. Like we said, there's not a surefire franchise player, which makes it even funnier that the Hawks won it. That's very Atlanta sports to have a 3% chance to win this draft. And they did. You used all your luck on this draft. But the Pistons,
Starting point is 01:09:23 two years ago, the Pistons won 23 games. They were third worst in the league. They got the fifth pick last year. The Pistons won 17 games worst in the league fifth pick this year. They won 14 games worse than the league fifth pick. That's insane. Yeah, it's crazy. That seems like a sick joke. I feel bad. But again, like you said, this draft is kind of a crap shoot. You could get a good player. You might end up getting, yeah, one of the ones that develops into being a great player. But the fact that that's happened again, just, I mean, you should try winning more games?
Starting point is 01:09:56 Yeah, try winning more games. Also, in DC Sports, this is the third team that has the second overall pick. Yeah, I saw that. I was rooting for you to get the first pick. Yeah, me too. Well, I last year it was like at the end, it became a coin flip between us and the Spurs because the way the numbers shook out, that would have been the nice one to get. But we've taken two LSU players and baseball took one baseball and then Jane Daniels, obviously in football.
Starting point is 01:10:18 I don't think there's anyone from LSU that's projected to go that high, but we fuck it. Let's just do it anyway. By the way, talking baseball, Paul skeins did make his debut Against my cubs. He was I feel like he had the perfect Awesome prospect debut where he pitched I think it was like four innings three earned runs and seven strikeouts That's I feel like that's that that means he's gonna be really good. Yeah, the first two batters you were like Oh my god, this guy's gonna be the best pitcher who ever played. And then it's like, all right, well, he's
Starting point is 01:10:47 going to have to learn how to pitch. They're on a load management, but also he's going to have to learn how to be craftier, but holy shit, can he pitch. Are you saying that the Wizards should draft Livy Dunne? Yes. Yeah. That would fit.
Starting point is 01:11:02 A reporter did say that although Paul Skeen's only lasted four innings, Livvy Dunn, whole game. Oh, she stuck around? The whole game. Good, she's a good sports down. Complete game, complete game. Yeah, complete game from Livvy Dunn. All right, let's get to our interviews.
Starting point is 01:11:15 We've got great interviews. We've got Julian Edelman and Burlake Bortles, and then we'll finish with embrace debate and a twist on the lottery ball machine.

I'm trying to navigate both. Just put it on the coffee table, put it, just rest it up against something on the coffee table. You probably got it.

Starting point is 01:13:39 tips on podcasting because, um, you, you momentarily for a day took over the one spot and made everyone aware of it. So congrats on that. Thank you. Thank you guys. You know, I just trying to follow in the founding fathers that, you know, helped me put me in this situation. You guys, I mean, you guys probably on your show and you know, we're going to take that data and we're going to try to learn from it and make our, make our show completely better every single day. You know, it's just a starting point. It's actually funny because I remember like three or four years ago, you're like, Hey, can we get your entire subscribers list? And we gave it to you. Um, now it all makes sense
Starting point is 01:14:16 that you just did it that way. No, but gave his name's awesome. It's, it's actually incredible what you've like grown it into because I watch it all the time. Your Ernie Adams interview was incredible and it feels like a very... Darn shirt. I'm going to give you a genuine compliment. It's hard, I think, right now. We've gotten very lucky because we started a podcast before everyone had a podcast. It's hard to hop into the podcast game right now and be unique and you've done that. That's a credit to you.
Starting point is 01:14:44 I appreciate it. That means a lot really coming from you guys. Yeah. Um, you know, it's been fun. It's it, I didn't, you know, I, we just did this thing. I wasn't, we weren't trying to do anything, but it's just, it's been fun to get to like learn how to ask questions. You know, when you watch guys shows like you're, I listen to you guys all the time. I listen to other people in the industry, the McAfee's and the Colin Cowers and see how people deliver like information and how they deliver them like their, their, their knowledge.
Starting point is 01:15:13 And it's been fun to be able to like work that. And I've, I've seen, you know, it helped me with TV and stuff. So it's been a fun, creative outlet. Yeah. Did it without dating the most famous woman in the world. So congrats, No shortcuts for you. Facts. Facts. Facts. Yeah. You still could. All right. So we have a bunch of questions, but let's start with the roast. You did incredible. I told you no pressure before because I wanted you to feel the pressure because we were expecting
Starting point is 01:15:43 a lot out of you. We had you as one of the highest ranked non comedians You did a great job. What was it like though the entire event like being there and more than anything What was it like sitting next to grunt because we? How many of grunts jokes did he get like how many do you understand it felt like he didn't understand anything first off? Yeah, you called me the night before the, was it the night before? Night before. Yeah. And I was, did I give you any of my jokes? Did I run any by you? You didn't, but you were like, I was like, listen, we're like, you have to perform because if you don't like we expect a lot out of you and you, you delivered big time. No, it was, I was super, it was super nerve wracking to do this whole thing because you're
Starting point is 01:16:26 jumping in and you guys are good, funny speakers and you guys have been in that, that, that kind of world. Like we're still, I'm still new to this stuff. So like when you're sharing a stage like Kevin Hart and Jeff Ross and the Nikki, like those, you can see how professional they are. So the whole night I was watching teleprompters and stuff, seeing how, you know, like Ron Burgundy came out and he didn't say anything on his teleprompter. And then he get back into it. Like I was watching the behind the scenes stuff. So I was super nervous for this whole thing, went and performed at the comedy store.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Uh, the Thursday before with Jeff Ross, which was awesome to get that rep. Because I never really told jokes on a stage, which is completely different than doing a Q&A or speaking at a motivational thing. I've done those public speakings. When you have to go out and actually execute something while you're doing that, to try to get a laugh, it's hard.
Starting point is 01:17:22 So I was super nervous at the store. I was shaking, telling my jokes. Yeah, hard. So I was like, super nervous, nervous at the store. I was like shaking, telling my jokes. Thankfully, we had like, there was like a group of like 15, like, frat boys that like knew exactly who I was. They were like athlete fans, you can sell so they got some laughs and you can see where you could like, pause the joke and not pause the joke. So it was cool to get get that rep and then when we get on the night before you know now you're in the the green room and our green room was me Randy Gronk and coach and Everyone's kind of like we were all kind of it was like it was a it was like before game, bro Like guys were like sitting there in corners practicing their jokes It like it was fun. And then
Starting point is 01:18:06 you know, go out and do it. And you had to like judge, like I can't drink really before my my jokes because I don't want to get too sloppy up there and something you know, like you gotta and then after you start drinking it was it was fun. It was a fun night. Yeah. And it was good to see like a lot of people in that building. You guys know what I'm talking about craft bill and and Tom all in all the building. Like never thought I'd see that again. Yeah, that was, it was cool to see. You should, you said Wes Welker gone up right before you and then like halfway through his set, just pulled him off stage and be like, I got this Wes just taking over for him. He probably wouldn't like that though. Yeah, we did have
Starting point is 01:18:42 you very high. We thought Drew Bledsoe did a good job, too He was like great way to open it. Yeah, you know that that's gotta be some pressure and he's a he's a great sport You know like with how he I mean that's gotta be it's such a crazy. Yeah Yeah, it's dynamic. It's like this this guy is responsible for your career going Absolutely sideways when he thought it was gonna go perfectly and then you have to show up and make fun of them for being so much better than you. Yeah. But he did a really good job. I thought, I thought he was, he opened the gates. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:19:12 So, um, about Gronk. So Gronk gets up, we can all agree Gronk killed it, right? Yeah, he crushed it. Gronk killed it. Um, it's okay to say gay again. I think that's like five of, five of Gronk's jokes were like, Jules is here. He's gay. Tom Brady, you're so gay. Remember that time Tom fucked bill Belichick from Tampa with a
Starting point is 01:19:30 1300 mile. Yeah Yeah, that was gonna be my question like so when Tom Brady fucked Bill Belichick with a 1300 mile cock and then you sucked it and lubed it up the entire way from Tampa to Boston. It was in your mouth. Is that true? No, that wasn't true. That was a good joke. That was, that was, that was a pigment of his imagination. Now getting back to Gronk and watching, cause like I said, you can see where the prompter and the jokes and stuff, you know, I'm sitting there watching Gronk and like he, he's starting, he's doing his bit and then all of a sudden I, he starts, he just starts going off his dome. He's like,
Starting point is 01:20:09 he improv, like I want to say half of this stuff. And like, it was like, I was like, I'll get back to you. And then he got back onto it. It was like, it was so funny. I mean, it was Gronk. Yeah, it was Gronk through and through. Absolutely. Um, all right. So what were you surprised? No one, uh, roasted you for steroids. I was, I was, I was too. I was like, if I were up there, I would say that'd be the first thing I'd do. I w I w I thought everything was on the door when Kevin Hart opens up with the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor. I thought we were just fucking floodgates open. Yeah. Yeah. So when, when that was like one of the first jokes where you're like, Oh shit, we are really saying everything. Or did you guys think that
Starting point is 01:20:47 there were going to be boundaries? It made me feel so, it made me feel so good that like, all right, he went there. So I'm not, I guess mine's not going to be that bad. He won't, you know what I mean? He was actually a great teammate play by Kevin Hart because he set the stage where he's like, he knew we were nervous about saying certain things. So he hits them to let them know like this is what it's going to be. And in a weird way, like you probably escaped the best out of everyone because the meanest joke anyone said about you was like, you're obsessed with Tom Brady, which is like, I don't know. There's a, there's millions of men out there who they could say that about.
Starting point is 01:21:23 So it's like, okay, yeah, I, I, I, I want to be him. Yeah. I don't know if I want to be him, but why would you ever bite the hand that fed you bro? Yeah. You want to be inside? Because of Tom Brady. Yeah. I'm not afraid to say it. It's a quarterback league. You're a dependent person when you're a receiver. Yeah. You know, it's smart of you to own it like that Absolutely. So the whole situation with Bob Kraft Bill Tom all there together at once It seemed awkward when when Bob came out on stage like like Bill didn't really want to be taking a shot he had to be like talked into it did anybody hang out and talk afterwards or
Starting point is 01:22:03 Did they like go their separate ways? What was that like seeing all of them together if they hung out later? It was pretty political. You guys know that goes. Yeah. Like those guys are pros at that. They know how to address rooms. They know how to read situations and stuff. Like it was, I mean, it was what it was. I didn't, I didn't see them at the after party. They left. Mr. Kraft came for a second and hung out for a little while, but Bill, he wasn't there. So there wasn't really any interaction. Yeah. You're, you're that I saw. You're like a, a childhood divorce being like, I don't know which, like who I should be seen with or who I should be.
Starting point is 01:22:43 I'll give you this one. Like we're in the green room and we're all telling like war stories, having fun. Coach is talk telling us about, you know, a rookie skin or something that he loved back in the day and we're all like huddled up talking and you know, craft walked in and you know, they, they played it. They played it right. I mean, but it was like, it was like what you just said. I, I wanted, I got up and walked away. I was fucking, I didn't know what to do. I walked away. I went to the bathroom. I just didn't want to be in any kind of question
Starting point is 01:23:14 asking or anything from, you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So was craft drunk when he came to the after party? Cause he had like four shots. He had a bunch of drinks when he was on stage. I'm making them like, I don't know. Is this guy got a tolerance of a tank or what? I don't know. I didn't notice any of that. Mr. Craft. He's a fun. He's a funny guy. So the other one, your running mate, Danny Amandola, I think he got maybe the meanest joke of the whole time. And it felt like Belichick might've just showed up just to get that in on him. What did Amandola say afterwards? Cause that was brutal. It did feel like it was like, that was a real one.
Starting point is 01:23:49 I mean, now you get, now you guys get a sense of that's how Bill's sense of humor was. And that's how he would humiliate people like in, in, in the film room. You know what I mean? Like, Oh, that's a, that's a great 250 yards. Yeah. Moss had that. That's a good half for him. You know, that's how he would get on guys during film. Like it was awesome to see that. I mean, they knew it was all fun and games. They actually kiss it out. OK, that's cool. And they were cool. I saw them. They're good. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:18 The other guy he went after, which I thought was just really funny, was it was it Matt Light? Yeah. Yeah. Matt Light. Yeah. And he just started like roasting Matt Light. and Matt light was in the back just like I did not expect anybody say my name at all tonight but that I felt like that was Bella check just going back to the day of like okay I'm gonna I'm gonna rip this guy a new asshole because I know that he fucked up on film so I get to humiliate him in front of the entire team kind of the same we know what Danny but like
Starting point is 01:24:52 There's a different thing with Matt light for sure because Matt light I actually just had him on my podcast We'll be launching that here soon, but like Matt was like the biggest prankster Like ever like he had balls of steel like he would go above and beyond to do a, like to get a prank in like a crazy, like with Bill with everyone with the, you know, that was Scarnecchio like, like the coaches, like he was a bad-ass on the field and he was one, you know, he played for 12 years.
Starting point is 01:25:18 He's like one of our leaders, but he was not afraid to make a fun of the environment with like these crazy pranks, which you guys can listen to them on games with names coming out soon. You know, the matte light episode, it'll be good. I love that. I love that. Um, what, what about, uh, I have to ask this question because it came up like four or five times. Did Brady not really shower with the guys? Yeah, Brady took this. I mean, I've seen him a couple of times. He was a shower pill guy. We always saw, Oh, Brady took the shower pill. Meaning didn't shower, just walked
Starting point is 01:25:48 out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That felt like a recurring theme. Like, dude, why don't you take a shower with us? Which is a very funny thing when you take it outside of the world of a football locker room where it's like, you're mad that your, your buddy won't shower with you. Yeah. I mean, that's half the jokes are in the shower. Yeah, you gotta shower with the guys. You gotta shower with the dudes. That's where the real bonding happens. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:12 You gotta shower with the dudes. Like when Brady did shower with you, were you like, holy shit, we gotta act on our best behavior because Brady's naked right there. No one is off limits in the shower, bro. Like if you're walking into the war zone But Brady would do this one thing where he would get in the corner shower and he'd have to he'd have to shower heads on it on him Fucking serious, are we serious here Tom? You gotta have two shower heads. Did you ever fucking people waiting? Did you ever have a moment where you where Brady like walked in the shower one day like once a month and you're
Starting point is 01:26:45 Like fuck I haven't shaved my pubes in a while. No, but I did there's this there's this one time Where I was showering and I used to shave my ain't my legs like just to my calf And I had hella hairy thighs because I had to get my I like to get my ankles taped with no pre-wrap I wanted it on skin You know what I mean? I go in there and Sean spring starts making fun of me because bro what the hell you what are you doing like he would make fun of me in a locker room all the time and then one time I always the shower and I showed him like a a springs I trimmed all the way up look he goes Edelman don't you ever talk to me in the shower. He started making fun of me. I was like, Oh, what the fuck am I doing? It was like it was 14th year. We felt the veteran Sean spring. I was like
Starting point is 01:27:31 second year in the league. You'd make fun of me all day. It was funny. Yeah. You got a shower. Yeah. Shower moments are fun. Yeah. Yeah. Was it after, would it be after like a special game that Brady would be like, you know what? I'm going to shower the boy, give him, give him a treat. Well, I mean, He had to shower in away games away games you have to shower, right? Yeah, that makes sense That'd be gross if you don't think he just wanted to go home and shower like it is He probably had like the craziest shower at his house like something insane where he has like So he's got his rated water. Yeah, so when the schedule would come out you would you would circle all the away games being like nice I'm gonna get shower with Brady these days. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:08 So good. So good, bro. All right. Serious question. Uh, cause we haven't had you on since it happened, but the dynasty doc, it was a little crazy. Uh, we had Belichick's back. It felt like a very slanted against him. When you were watching it, were you like, I lived half of this and it's not exactly how it went. I mean, yeah. I mean that, that it was, I don't know. There, it was pretty click baity where they just wanted to go over everything that, you know, you that people want to see that they hated us for a long time and they fed it and it is what it is you know what I mean. They just kind of like brushed over like the great
Starting point is 01:28:52 games that we had like the Troy Brown game where Tom throws the interception they're about to lose against San Diego Troy strips like there we didn't see any of that stuff like right I don't know, but it's also, it's, it's Hollywood, you know, they, they gotta do it. They gotta do to make it sell. So yeah, no, it's, it's hard to do a documentary. Like there, there's definitely something to be said. Like you can't do a documentary where it's just like, Oh, they won and then they won again and then they won again because no one, everyone be like, well, what the fuck? We want to see the other stuff. Yeah. But it did feel like more other stuff than, yeah. The crazy thing is we all did those interviews and that's when bill
Starting point is 01:29:30 was still under the team. So I think he had to do it. Yeah. That's what we were saying. It's like Mr. Krabs asked him one day, you know what I mean? Yeah. But it's been really awesome to see because of all this stuff, Bill's kind of opened up just to go out and do some of these TV things. And he's been doing stuff with McPhee and you know, it's been cool to see him open up a little bit and show people like, yeah, I'm not, I'm not. Yeah, I'm an asshole, but it's fun. It's, you know what I mean? Like it's, yeah, yeah, yeah. Football coach. Look how much information I know. Yeah, yeah. He knows a lot. He's a genius. Yeah. So, um So yeah, in the documentary, uh, Pat or Hank was saying that there's not enough like Patriots porn. It feels like they,
Starting point is 01:30:11 they did make a documentary almost more for the Patriots haters because there are more of them than there are Patriots fans. Uh, but there was one part that featured you that was like just pure Superbowl Patriots porn. When you made that catch against the Falcons and then you immediately jumped up, you're like, nah bro, I caught it right in the defender's face. He was like, no, you dropped it. You're like, bro, I caught it. And it was just like a nice little back and forth there.
Starting point is 01:30:33 When you, when you watch that play on replay, when you see replay of it, do, do you pause it and rewind it and rewatch it again? Cause if I were you, I would just, I would watch that shit all the time. Be like, look what I did. No, not at all. I honestly, it's a lucky play. Like I don't like, I like watching plays that like I got blown up or something and I hung on the ball.
Starting point is 01:30:52 I can't chance to lit me up. Like I always liked that play, but not, not really. That game, that was a bad route. So I don't like that play. Oh, you fucked up bad process. Good result. I, I, I bananaed my route. It's a it's a it's a middle read and you know with cover five You got to go to the near up right of the the post
Starting point is 01:31:12 You know what I mean? If it was covered if there is one safety then you take it to the numbers and it becomes more like a fade But right here you're trying to put pressure on the two on the two high safety So, you know you you want to really try to get him the, the defender he's got inside leverage. I want you got to, you got to like, I've been aided my route. You got to make them feel like you're hitting that, that bow route. And then he undercuts and then you get, you get open and I just kind of, I mean, it was, it was a bad route. So I don't like it.
Starting point is 01:31:41 Who's that? Oh, it's Brandon Marshall. What's up, the Mars. How are we doing buddy? She's hit me up. Literally hit me up on Thursday. 30 minutes before. I was like, Hey bro, I'm staying at your house from a Thursday to Monday. It's cool. I'm like, sure. He's a real show. He did the same thing with us. Be March. He came to the Chicago office and then like four days later he was still coming in. I was like do you work here now? He's like no I'm using your podcast. I was like oh okay cool. This is rocky. Hey rocky. What's up rocky. Big cat. Y'all was making me meals and everything.
Starting point is 01:32:14 I know you're welcome back. Yeah. Yeah. Anytime. I walk in jewels house first off this house is like the best house I've ever seen in the world. He's super rich. But I thought you were retired. Why are you still talking football? You got a bow route. You talk about that route in the super. He keeps on asking about the catch. I hate that play because I little read. I didn't bop my guy to the bow route. I put in my route. That's like the coach. That's like one thing you can't do. This is so it was like our 97th play. Like we had a 97 play game for offense, which you're, you're cooked. And they literally ran out of gas. So wait, this is, this is
Starting point is 01:32:57 like so Belichick of you though, because it makes me think that at one point Belichick might've brought up that catch the next year and been like Edelman, this is how it is. Not how you run the route. Even though it was like, nah, he never did that. That would be very, I've always wanted to watch film of the super bowl. Do you break that down and learn from it? Cause like it's a new team the next year. Do you even know what I do? I, during super bowl time, I watched the NFL network and like, they always have, you know know like the old games on and I just watched old games like the TV copies cuz a I've never seen really a lot Of the TV copies when I was playing And he it's good to reference like for like it brings up my memories back like oh shit
Starting point is 01:33:39 Yeah, I remember that situation this game right here then it's good for like when I talk TV and yeah You know talk to you guys and stuff. So it's, I like, I'm a fan of the game. So you watch all these, the old cutups are crazy. Like then you get the AFC champion or championship week. They have all the old AFC championship weeks and stuff. I think it's fun. Yeah. One last question about the documentary. You were going to tell us why Malcolm Butler was benched for the super bowl. Oh yeah. I have no clue bro. So no one knows. I was away from the team bro. I was so mad actually because I had told my ACL that year. Yeah. You're with us. Yeah. I remember I was with you. It was like I couldn't even go to
Starting point is 01:34:16 the team hotel. Like they put me out in this other team up to this is the family hotel. I got was so pissed man. I had to like go 45 minutes. Yeah. Part of the show. Yeah. Even know why. Yeah. Even know why. I remember you came on radio and I was like, how's it going? How the guy's feeling? And you were just like, I don't know. Like I'm not with them. I'm not allowed to be with them. It's fucking. Yeah. They're, they're like, they were, they were in the game, bro. Yeah. Um, all right. So we have to ask you and you have to, you have to pump up Hank. He's not super excited about Drake may and partially your fault, right?
Starting point is 01:34:50 You know what? I, I, he's been growing on me. Drake's been growing on me. Okay. I liked the whole basketball, rented out, basketball, gym night of dudes, a competitor. I heard he was like one of the best. I heard he was the best golfer at, uh, that one visit where they were going to top golf with the teams and stuff. Like he went up and he's got like, this is nothing to do with football. When she liked him to not be excellent at golf. That like, you know, the competitive dudes that like to compete when it's like a, a hairy situation. Those guys aren't scared of that, that moment. Now I'm not saying that guy's there, but like those little stories, if you, I don't know if they're coming out of nowhere, I've started to hear them more.
Starting point is 01:35:31 Yeah. Sitting at the, he sat with the people today at the Bruins. Yeah. Not, not, he sat in, he sat in like the regular seats at the Bruins, didn't sit in the suite, man of the people. Okay. And it's ultimately, I mean, it's, it's it's this is the this is not just you know on him you know this is on you know now Wolf who's the general manager you got to get him playmakers we got
Starting point is 01:35:54 you know that this is also on the developmental of you know the coaching staff you know Van Drake or the new OC they have like this is that's gonna be his job they brought in Ben McAdoo so he's gonna be like probably working with the quarterback and help developing this guy. So, you know, it's a team effort when you have a young quarterback and I never really got to experience one. Yeah. What about the allegations again from Hank that he throws a very heavy ball? Heavy. The ball looks heavy in his hands. I like he's he's big though. Yeah, so you think he has a heavier ball? No, I mean I gotta I gotta catch it. I'll let you guys know I'm gonna go check out a camp Yeah, I'll give you a little update on it. Okay, I gotta go catch it, you know, hey, I threw a drew blood
Starting point is 01:36:38 So I was about to say yeah, that was all my god. He was throwing thousand miles an hour. Yeah Yeah, if you ask him to do that or was he just like, here's a catch here, it's going 90 miles an hour? No, we were literally, we did the podcast and then we went out in the backyard and we were drinking wine. He's a big wine guy, you know, a double back I think is his wine company.
Starting point is 01:37:01 And there's a ball there and we just started throwing. I was like, I want to catch Drew's ball. I want to see how it feels. And it's that dude's got the centrifugal force on his ball. Those are like big handed guys. When the, when the ball speed is spinning fast, you know, and he could just flick it. Is it, I mean, he can still, he's 50 years old. Yeah. Is it weird? Yeah. Is it weird when you, when you, when you're hanging out with a guy like Drew Bledsoe cause you never played with him, but it's like kind of going back to like the divorce with, with your divorced child with Robert Kraft and in Belchick when you, when you meet Drew Bledsoe, you're like, Oh, uh, it's like your long lost
Starting point is 01:37:39 brother. Like we had the same dad. We know we, we, we were born under the same thing, but we never really like bonded, but know we were born under the same thing, but we never really like bonded, but you have like all these common things. 100%. And you know, Drew was around a lot. He would always, I saw, I met him early in my career and you know, he, well, you guys don't realize Drew Blutso was like the biggest guy in new England. You know what I mean? Like he was the guy people loved him here and they still do. And you know, with how he's handled that whole situation, that's the real Patriot way right there doing, we used to have a sign on that said mental
Starting point is 01:38:15 toughness, doing what's best for the team when it may not be best for you. Walk by it every day, you know, and, and he, he's an example of that, you know, he, a lot of guys could have handled that situation a lot differently and he seemed you know just from hearing stories and talking with guys He was always a good teammate. Yes, he was a little thing He seems like he's got he's got a good head on her So it's funny cuz it's like do your job, but in his case his job was to no longer do his job Yeah, but he did that job really well But I'm just telling you guys the guy's like 50 years old And when you see him, he looks like a number one draft pick
Starting point is 01:38:50 Shorts no, he was in jeans, but he was flinging that like he's just a big burly like white man Yeah, you know like a country mountain man I've got uh, just like an idea that just came to me. You're talking about like I got to catch Drake's ball You should do like Dave does pizza reviews. You just do ball reviews Yeah, you just catch a ball from somebody and then you rate the ball. How good was that ball? That's not a bad idea Yeah, you could even throw in some like blind like just like obviously you got to catch people's balls Current NFL is but like doing like a throwback blind ball catching video where it's like, oh, I think that was like I think I was blood. So his ball. Oh that might have been an Elway
Starting point is 01:39:30 Yeah, smoked right in the face Could you tell the difference just if you were blindfolded and you caught one of Brady's balls and then we blindfolded you caught one of Jimmy G's balls. Could you tell I mean? you wouldn't be able to catch it, but if, if there was a situation or scenario where you could actually do that, where I could see, but like, maybe they're behind the net, like the, you could feel the ball. Yeah. You could definitely feel the ball is different. Oh, like I could feel a difference between Hoyer's ball. You could feel the difference between Jimmy G's ball, cams ball. Yeah. You can feel a difference.
Starting point is 01:40:04 And then Tebow came in. I wouldn't even let him throw to me because he goes opposite speed. I don't want to get used to that other force. Yeah. Who had the nicest balls? You know who actually threw a real catchable ball? Brian Hoyer did. Yeah. Axel. He had a little little pat thing. He threw a real catchable ball. Malik used to throw a real heavy heavy like hard ball. Yeah, hard ball. He had a arm. Yeah, he had an arm. But yeah, that's good. I like that ball reviews. I got some draft analysis for you.
Starting point is 01:40:39 If you could, like, if you're looking at these three prospects, which one really jumps off the page to you in terms of how they're going to fit in the NFL, give your experience, Cooper de Jean, right? McCaffrey, Luke McCaffrey, and then lad McConkey. Are those all white guys? Right? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I Which one of those guys reminds you the most of you oh They are white they are all white yeah, none of them none of them none of them cuz They're all kind of big and I that corner guy is like like a way faster than I ever was Yeah, and then the McCaffrey he's taller. He's like more like Ed. He's like his dad his body types was. Yeah. And then the McCaffrey, he's taller. He's like more like Ed. He's like his dad. His body type's different. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So well,
Starting point is 01:41:29 Jules, I got one last question. Thank you again. It's been awesome. We love having you on every time. Uh, it is the row back question. R H O B A C K.com promo code take 20% off first purchase. Q's, it's polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, rollback.com. We will hopefully see you maybe grit week, which we haven't announced yet. Yeah. Is Chicago? Or you guys are coming here? Possibly. Possibly. I actually asked- I gotta get out to Chicago. You do. You do. I asked Jules, I was like, where are you gonna be in August? And he's
Starting point is 01:41:59 like, you mean like, will I be in America? And I was like, okay, let's start there. Yeah. Like, will you be in America? He's like, yeah, I think so. All right, cool. Us too. But- That's travel month. That's right before the season. You know, you got things going.
Starting point is 01:42:11 Yeah. You gotta get a thing out, then clamp down, football season in, you gotta buckle in. That's true. 25 weeks. All right, so, row back question. The last question I had for you was,
Starting point is 01:42:24 we kind of skirted by it, but like how many jokes do you think out of let's say a hundred did Gronk actually process? Uh, I, he knew them all. No. Yes. I actually had a joke where I was going to incorporate Gronk because he gets a rap for being, it was like, it was, this is one of the jokes that I was going to was this is one of the jokes. I was going to have grunk in on it. I would have been like, you know, everyone has this big old thing out for grunk that he's, you know, kind of a dumb like a simple guy, a dumb dumb. And it's not true.
Starting point is 01:42:56 He's actually a savant with numbers. Watch grunk with 69 minus 37 32. That's right. Wrong. The same number of teams that rather lose and have a conversation with coach Belichick. That's right. Wrong. The same number of teams that rather lose and have a conversation with coach Belichick. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah. Should have done that. I know. But you would have had to, he would have had to nail that 32. Yeah. Is that why you didn't do it? No, he would have got it. I'm telling you right now. Grunk knows numbers, bro. I think,
Starting point is 01:43:19 I think he just knows 69 based math. Like he knows 69 minus any number. This guy, he can count, dude, I'm telling you, whenever we used to talk calling tracks, like whenever we, I would always bust his balls. Like, yeah, watch what's square root of this Gronk 144. You like 12 dude. Like he really knows numbers pretty well, dude. Listen, he, I think he, I think he is smarter than people give him credit for. He did not understand Kevin Hart's three fifths joke. That one he didn't get. Cause you forget this was on live TV. So they had that one. They went to Gronk like seven or eight times. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes the speakers are in front of you or they were in front of you.

It was Bears-Dolphins.

Okay, we now welcome on our very, very, very good friend, recurring guest, pardon my take, legend is Blake Bortles. We figured we have to have him on before we do Blake of the Year in a month and a half. Get him prepped. We were talking before, you noted we always have Bortles with us in the background with his Jersey. Um, and
Starting point is 01:49:29 PFT mentioned that we have the saints, the Packers, uh, we don't have a Broncos one. Now the question to you is, should we get a Broncos Blake Bortles Jersey or should we get the guy who had to start that game because you gave everyone COVID. Kendall Hinton was also not my fault. I couldn't, I was thinking about that when you mentioned it though. I don't know what number I was in Denver. Did you ever, you didn't get, did you play, you didn't play a game? I never dressed because I got there. I was inactive for like the first two or three weeks. And then I was on practice squad and then for like 45 minutes, I was going to start against the Saints and then
Starting point is 01:50:10 I got blamed for everybody getting COVID. Yeah, Kendall Hinton got to start. You did you did have five you had five. Well, yeah, okay. So when you go to Denver, and like the punter or the kicker has number five, are you like, Hey, uh, can I get your number? Oh dude, at that point in my career I would, I was fine wearing like Mike Winchell 20. I didn't care. Um, all right. So, uh, first of all, I just want to say apologies for, uh, that Bruins Panthers over cause we were texting before and you're like, yeah, I'm ready to go. I'm just sitting on my couch watching, hoping for goals. I don't know anything about hockey. That's, that's basically everyone at this time of year where it's like, yeah, I'm ready to go. I'm just sitting on my couch watching, hoping for goals. I don't know anything about hockey. That's, that's basically everyone at this time of
Starting point is 01:50:47 year where it's like, Oh, let me turn on this hockey game. They score goals and then it's the playoffs. It's like, fuck, this sucks. They did. It's tough. I've gotten murdered. I've lost. Like I love hockey. I don't know a ton about it. Like I know kind of the basics and obviously the rules and I've gotten to know guys that are playing and the stars, of the league. I listen to Spittin' Chicklets here and there. So it's kind of where my knowledge comes from, but I'm just donating money at this point. What have you been up to recently? I feel like we haven't heard from Bortles for a long time. Are you picking up any new hobbies? I'm trying things out. I'm trying just random things, hoping to find
Starting point is 01:51:22 something. Play golf will always be a hobby of mine. I got two little kids who are doing that, still building the house. That's hopefully going to be done here soon. And then outside of that, just random stuff. I played tennis a couple of times. I found out that wasn't for me. I'm into just trying things. I'm working on getting into maybe some jujitsu or something. I'm going to see how that goes. I'm looking the just trying things. I'm working on getting into maybe like some jujitsu or something. I'm gonna see how that goes I'm just I'm looking for stuff. Wait tennis is is very boring. I I've found it Dude, it wasn't and it was also like our daughter plays tennis. So it was like, alright, let me see if you know I'll do this too so we can like play together and I did it for like an hour one day
Starting point is 01:52:02 And I think I made contact with 50% of the balls and was dead tired in like 35 minutes. And it's like, yeah, I'll play pickleball. Yeah, every time I play tennis, I'm just like, I'll play for like 10 minutes. And then the thought will cross my head and be like, this would be so much sicker if it was home run derby. Yeah, 100%.
Starting point is 01:52:19 We were just looking. Because every now and then you accidentally hit one like out of the fence. And it's just like, I'd rather do that. Yeah, you're like hit one like out of the fence. It's just like I'd rather I'd rather do that Yeah, you're like, holy shit. I'm strong. I Also just can't serve which like you just can't play if you can't serve Yeah, I can hit it hard, but I just I can't hit it in that square Yeah, I think about says they say it's like a really good cardio workout, but it's not at all if you stink at it
Starting point is 01:52:40 Yeah, you're just getting started then it's like just the most boring standing around thing ever. Oh, you're just one and done every time. Yeah. All right. So the other thing I was wondering, we have, all three of us have new quarterbacks on this show, PFT, Hank and I. You were a new quarterback at one point. What should we, if we ever meet our new quarterbacks, what should we tell them? The Blake Bortles, hey, this is what you do if you're drafted high and you have an entire city
Starting point is 01:53:07 expecting things out of you. So who do you, I mean, you have Caleb Williams. I actually got to meet cause he was training like 10 minutes from our house here in Florida. Awesome kid. Yes. PFT has Jaden Daniels, Jayden Daniels stud and Hank has Drake may yeah in New England. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I mean the I feel like the young it's changed so much. Like it was it used to be come and sit hang out like the Aaron Rogers deal. Like that was kind of supposed to be what I did. And you know, ended up playing earlier than expected, which was great and learned
Starting point is 01:53:47 a lot through experience and a ton of failures. Um, and then I feel like my homes has kind of just changed the game on the expectations of how you're supposed to play right away. Um, if you ever meet them, I don't know, tell them you love them and he's doing great. That's good. That's good advice. Just positivity, man. kids going through a lot. It's probably not gonna go great right away and you know, let's stick to it Keep working. You'll be fine. Yeah, what was it like like just getting started with the Jaguars? Like when you go into the building, what attitude did you have to have like going people have expectations?
Starting point is 01:54:22 Obviously cuz you're drafted so high. Do you come in like yeah I'm the fucking shit. Do you actively have to like check your own ego sometimes. I would imagine there's probably guys that have done that you know whether coming off the Heisman's are just highly touted dudes throughout their entire career for me coming into the NFL was the first time there was really ever any expectations on me. Like I was the second quarterback at UCF in our recruiting class and still getting drafted third overall and going into Jacksonville. That was kind of the first time that there was ever anything expected of me right away.
Starting point is 01:54:57 So that was different, but I mean, it's all just new. It's a totally different game, especially I feel like the college and the NFL games are so different in all aspects of it. And I mean, at the same time, you're walking in at 2021 22 years old, and those guys in there that are married with kids. And it's like, I have no experience of how to handle these kind of people outside of talking, talking to my parents and my parents, friends, I don't know how to talk to parents. You know, some of that, some of that stuff's new, but, you know, I'm sure all those dudes would be fine. They've gotten so good and so mature. Um, I deal with
Starting point is 01:55:31 media and NIO shit and all that. So I'm sure they'll all do great. Have they retired your Jersey at UCF yet? No. I got inducted into the hall of Fame two years ago. Okay. But I don't think there's only a couple like Dante, Culpeppers, they well, I guess they're like suit. Because I mean, there's 120 kids on a team, right? They can't start taking numbers away.
Starting point is 01:55:56 But I guess they hang them up. I think there's a couple numbers that are hung up around the stadium, which I guess maybe Ring of Honor. We need that. It will come. We'll come to that day. If they ever, if they ever decide to do it, let's, let's put some pressure on them. Like, what are we doing here? Let's get bored. We'd have up in the land. A weekend and celebrate. It'd be great. Yeah. They need to respect you. They need to, they need to hang your banner. Hi. Um, did you know that we got a national championship banner? Yes. Sure. Did you know that you had the highest yards per carry, excuse me, third highest yards
Starting point is 01:56:29 per carry of any quarterback ever in the history of the NFL? No. No, I didn't. Who? Is that an actual stat? Yeah, I think you finished with like 6.3. Mike Vick only had seven yards per attempt. Hmm.
Starting point is 01:56:44 Yeah, only, dude. Could you imagine? Me and Mike Vick's similar seven yards per attempt. Hmm. Oh, my dude. Could you imagine me and Mike Vick's similar athletic ability? Yeah. No, they need to put some respect on your name. That's the great Blake Bortles. This is the Blake Bortles Hall of Fame pitch that we're going to start working on. Yeah. We're going to make a whole pamphlet of it.
Starting point is 01:56:57 Yeah. Third all-time yards per carry. It's a good start. Yep. Yep. The boat. That also is a good... I mean, you can't say anyone else is the boat boat should have beaten the New England Patriots in Gillette in the postseason and gone to the Super Bowl that got ripped from your hands. Yep
Starting point is 01:57:11 Absolutely, that's going in there to out do would been rockless burger got everyone coven and got Kendall hinting a start That's right. No for guys. Yeah, actually one bullet point just should be did not give the entire Broncos contrary to popular belief. The, uh, again, Walter Payton man of the year finalist. Yep. That's right. Yep. The year of the, uh, that was a year Jared played in the Superbowl. New England beat him like score 10, seven, 13, seven. Thank you. Yeah. That was your Chris Long gave the entire world water.
Starting point is 01:57:42 And so he, he won. The entire continent of Africa with clean water. We all thought we had a chance of winning that year for, you know, fundraising for our local community. No chance, no chance. I ha I forgot to tell you, uh, and I want to hear your perspective of it. I ran into your, uh, agent when we were in Indy for the combine and I was, I had met him a couple of times before. So I said hello to him and I was laughing cause I was like, what was it like for you guys when Blake just accidentally retired on our show? And they were like, yeah, that kind of sucked for us. Like we just got a bunch of calls right away. And he said, he was like, Blake told us specifically, he's like any calls you get, I'm not talking to
Starting point is 01:58:23 anyone else. I'm talking to the part of my take guys. So I want to say thank you. And also was that your perspective of it that your agents were like, what the fuck, dude, why'd you do that? They, I mean, we had had, they called when I went to New Orleans, the last stop I was on was kind of like the last rodeo. And it was kind of like, I was, I was staying in shape. I was still throwing. So I kind of felt obligated to like take the call, you know, whenever it came, but it came like the day before Christmas.
Starting point is 01:58:52 And what year was that? 21, 22? Yeah. Well, it's somewhere in there. Right around, it was like two days before Christmas. And we got little kids at home. Like we're starting to build stuff, you know, for the set out for Christmas presents.
Starting point is 01:59:04 And my agent calls and he's like, hey, he's got a call from New Orleans. And I was like, yeah, yeah, let's just, you know, we'll maybe just see what happens next year, see if we hear from anybody. And, you know, it was like, no, like they really want you to come, they'll guarantee your contractor, this or that. And I was like, all right, you know, we kind of owe it to ourselves to go do this. So we did it. And then obviously the year ends and like a month later,
Starting point is 01:59:27 I think they signed Andy Dalton and I guaranteed his money. So it was just like, all right, that's not the road. We're going to go down next year. So like, let's get out of that. And I was just like, I'm done, I'm done. And I remember him telling me, I was like, do I have to announce? Cause you used to have to like put in papers to retire.
Starting point is 01:59:42 And it was like a whole thing where they got rid of that. And it was just, if you're not on a roster for I think 12 months, you're just considered retired was what I was told. I was like, Yeah, let's just go that route, dude. We'll just hopefully nobody says anything for a year. And then all of a sudden, I'll just be officially retired. And then I PFT asked me a question when I was talking to you guys. And I just accidentally said it. Now we're officially retired.
Starting point is 02:00:09 It's a common law retirement. If you're not on a roster, then legally. Yeah, you're just done. Yeah. But so what did your agent say after you came on PMT that time? Were they like, wait, dude, that wasn't the plan? Yeah, it was just like, well, you know, just kind of out the window went the quietly retiring now. So, you know, it's a thing. And then of course, after like it was either right around that time or maybe just after like there was calls from two or three teams like, Hey, like to have you come in. And it was just like, no,
Starting point is 02:00:35 yeah, go listen to pardon my take. Yeah. And the fact that you like confirmed, I kind of knew you dude did that. But the fact that you told your agents like specifically, like anyone who hits me up, just tell them, I'm not going to talk to him because I'm I'm doing it all on part of my take. Thank you. Because that that was where it all started. Yeah. First real interview I ever did or it felt like was with you guys at the Super Bowl. We tell us 14. Well, hold on. Sorry about that. Well, hold on. Yeah. I want the story about that. But I have to just say that there was another interview that you did before that. And I also talked to your agents about that. The famous Cribs episode with Sophie Julia. They
Starting point is 02:01:14 mom's favorite. They also told me a story that, uh, you did that episode and you didn't really tell your agents and they like had to put out a million fires after it. Cause you just had a bunch of like sponsorships and everything in your house wasn't the sponsorship. Open your fridge and they're like, what the fuck, like we just took money from these other people. There's no body armor. There's no monster. Yeah. That was it. The product placement wasn't great. It took me a couple years to understand the the ramifications and the significance of being an NFL quarterback I was I lived like I was still playing in college for the first year or two Yeah, that rocked there was it there was the interview that you did with us the first time
Starting point is 02:02:00 I'll tell this story. We might actually have to cut this part out, too, but I remember you had done a lot of media. You're like, yeah, I trust these guys I'll talk to them for a little bit and we asked you about the london games that the jaguars would always play in And you're like, yeah, it's crazy over there like when you ask for a They mean that they're asking for a cigarette and then after we we got off the call me and big cat talked to we were like I don't I don't think he said anything bad But I think that it would not be a good look for Blake to have him saying that word out there
Starting point is 02:02:29 So we quietly took that part out of the interview to have your back on it just to spare you like a small headache But I don't think anybody I don't think we've ever told that story. Oh, we have that we took that out But yeah, I appreciate you guys The dumb stuff that I used to say a lot that I've tried to say a little less. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it wasn't, it is what they said is the word they use over there. Yeah. It's crazy. I just remember like the first time going over there and here and like, oh, and after the first, I mean, I was 22 years old and leaving the country for the first time in my life, going to play football in London, playing in Wembley Stadium and, um, like unbelievable
Starting point is 02:03:07 experience, super cool. But like we, the first year I went, we flew out, we played sensei and then flew out after the game. So we were there the entire week. So we had a ton of time to go out and do stuff and get dinners and hang out and, um, like hearing somebody say that, like, can I bum a ****? It was just like. Yeah, what are you saying? No. Straight. It's like it's flying her cigarette. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah. Blake, I don't know if you're aware of this, but Hank and I have been going through a similar thing recently where we've noticed that we're starting to lose our hair and we're
Starting point is 02:03:45 wondering if you had any welcome to the club any advice for us shave it and grow beard but yours I mean your hair has been Hank you look good where's it going in the front or the back there's a little spot in the back I see yeah he's losing in the back it's tiny it Yeah, he's losing in the back. It's tiny. It's not even really noticeable right now to anybody except for Hank, but it's definitely. But they got those just go to Turkey. That's what we're saying. Yeah. I said I would go with them and I get a Brazilian butt lift because I'm not losing my hair. Blake, would you come with us if we went to Turkey? Yeah, I'll go. I just, I mean, I feel like Brian Erlecker paved the way.
Starting point is 02:04:25 Like I used to always, like my thing was, which I held on to it for a while. Like I was obviously losing hair and I finally got pure. I don't know if I ever told you guys, like I shaved my head for the first time because I was playing, I was in LA playing for the Rams and I found this barber and I went like four or five times and I was like,
Starting point is 02:04:41 hey, you know, just give me the white boy fade on the sides and take a little off the top. And after like the fourth or fifth time, he just, and I didn't really know the guy all that well, it's had to the 45 minutes I spent with him for the haircut. He goes, dude, you need to just shave your fucking head. Yeah, I think you're right. It's time to shave it. He just, you know, kind of bullied me into shaving my head. You used to be elite. We we've talked about this. You used to be elite at the helmet off hat on like no, not even you were so fast with it. It was probably, it's probably put that in the combine. That'll go on the pamphlet. Yeah. No one ever took their helmet off and put their
Starting point is 02:05:14 hat on faster than Blake Portals. There was a quick like, cause what, like if you're balding as a norm or especially like being like, I'm six foot five. So walking around like nobody really sees it. But you go to play football in front of a stadium of however many people, everybody's above you. So me and my guy, George, and the Jacksonville equipment room had just an unbelievable assembly line of helmet to hat switch off. It's perfect practice. All right, Blake, this is a very random that this happened when we had you on, but Hank got a DM over the weekend that he's going to have to read to you and
Starting point is 02:05:52 we need you to address some allegations that you actually threw out there. I don't know if you know what this is about. It has something to do with you being on vacation and maybe someone coming up to you and talking to you. Yeah. Well, they were talking about, you know, should we ask Blake on? And I saw a DM this weekend. I was like, I think he's on vacation and maybe someone coming up to you and talking to you. Yeah. Well, they were talking about, you know, should we ask Blake on? And I saw a DM this weekend. I was like, I think he's on vacation because some random guy DM me and said, was on vacation this weekend. And I happened to be at the same resort as Bortles. After mustering up the balls to say something to him with my brother-in-law,
Starting point is 02:06:17 I asked him how he likes his chances for this year's Blake of the year. He said very slim and his claim was because Blake Griffin cheats. So Blake Griffin, when the when it used to be Blake Griffin has the greatest Wi Fi of all time. When you guys used to call and it was the first to answer, I swear to God, I could not have answered any quicker. And Blake Griffin was beating me by half a second. Yeah. So his Xfinity or AT&T or whatever he's got is just a lead. Yeah. So his X finity or AT&T or whatever he's got is just elite. Yeah. So wait, do you remember this guy coming up to you and asking you this? Yeah, it was yesterday.
Starting point is 02:06:51 It's so funny that someone just, I mean, what is it like, are you like, what the fuck dude? Like this is, or is it cool that someone's like coming up to you and being like, Hey, I've been meaning to ask you Blakely year. How you feeling? So, I mean, it's honestly probably one of the more, most frequently things I get at, like I would say people ask me more about Blake of the year or PMT related stuff than anything football related, but we were sitting at the pool Friday, maybe. And, uh, my fiance was like, Hey, like, I think that guy's like taking pictures or videos of stuff over there. And she was like, I think I send that to barstool. And I said, yeah, but like, I don't think they'll post me like over here lounging with my belly out in the pool. Like, I don't think that's kind of up there alley of stuff to do. So
Starting point is 02:07:39 the fact that he actually reached out to Hank, that was pretty great. Yeah. Yeah. What about, um, do you have any advice for Blake Griffin in retirement? Blake to play, which I saw he, uh, he just retired right last in April. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome, dude. Congrats. What a career. Um, no, I'm sure he's got it figured out, but he's, he's in the golf. He's talented. He can do all kinds of stuff. I got, I got no advice for Blake. I'd actually like to hear some advice from him. Yeah. Yeah. I mean Blake of the year is going to be big this year. Yeah. I mean if we get Brooks to I mean he's already he leads the world and live victory. So he might as well retire. We get all three of us retired. It'd be great. It's a Blake retirement tour. Yeah. Yeah. We go have a full on golf tournament for the Blake Blake of the year We're talking about what to do for Blake of the year One idea that was thrown out there was to get everybody together Yeah, and to do maybe maybe some sort of a I don't know if it's a golf tournament But it would obviously Brooks would have to take a severe handicap in that
Starting point is 02:08:39 He's making play like left-handed. Yeah, so good left-handed. I think he's probably really Are you good? like left-handed. Is he still good left-handed? I think he's probably really good left-handed. Are you good? Not as good as I should be being retired, but. What's your handicap? I think I'm a seven something right now. Oh, that's good. That's good. Yeah. That's really good. Came in second place in a member guest last week. So I got that going for me. And you're competing in the Barstool Classic, right? When it's in Florida. Yeah, hopefully. If, uh, if Riggs ever lets me in. Oh, did that not get taken care of? No, I don't know.
Starting point is 02:09:12 All right. I'm on it because I remember when you hit me up, it was very Blake Portals of you. You're like, Hey, um, is there any way that I could get in? I was like, dude, are you really asking me like, we'll do anything to get you in this? Like your, your Barstool royalty. you really ask me like we'll do anything to get you in this like your your Barstool royalty do we I like I think I set an alarm because it went live at like 11 or 12 a friend of mine who are playing a bunch of tournaments and stuff with was like hey they got the virtual classic going on here Josh Scobie you remember that name kicker for the Jags he like facilitated the whole thing he belongs to the club where the tournament's at and I was like all right yeah let's all right, yeah, let's get in. So I like fully signed this up like two minutes
Starting point is 02:09:47 after it started. And it was just like, you're on the wait list. We'll let you know if you get in. And that was when I texted you. Wait, so what, what, what, what, uh, what club is there or where, what city is it in? It's in Jackson. It's like deerwood, like closer to downtown Jackson. All right. I'm sending a text right now to make sure this gets done to the top of the line. You have to be in it. You have to be in it. You can't have a Barstool classic. I tried to go about it the right way. No, but you shouldn't have even done that. You're too humble, but you can't have a Barstool classic in Jacksonville without Blake Bortles. That's not a real classic. Yeah. I mean, maybe they just, you know, extra team in the field.
Starting point is 02:10:25 I don't want to take somebody's spot and rightfully registered, but I think if we, after this interview, someone will probably volunteer to give up their spot, but we don't need to do that. You're just in. We'll figure out a way you're in no matter what. No matter what. Can't wait. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:10:38 And then yeah, stay tuned for Blake of the year. Cause we want to figure out a way to get everybody in person for it. Do it. Yeah. Anything but lottery balls. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we're doing it. Do you want to pick a number? Yeah. 19. All right. 19. This is Blake only down max. I can't believe you guys actually brought this thing to Chicago. 67. 67. All right, Blake, I have one last question. Wait, I just got a text back.
Starting point is 02:11:10 Absolutely. Can you send me his information? I'll get his information. All right, we're in. Yes. We're in. Yes. That's a no-brainer.
Starting point is 02:11:18 All right, Robak question, r-h-o-b-a-c-k.com, promo code take 20% off your first purchase, cues, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, rollback.com. All right, so you mentioned at the beginning, you're still building your house. Are you still doing some construction personally? Are you doing some cosplay? Are you getting over there and just getting with the guys every now and then?
Starting point is 02:11:37 Yeah, I'm a locker room guy at the house. I don't know anything. I ask multiple questions every time I'm over there. I retain half the information and I bring beer on Fridays. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. What a dude. Yeah. That's instead become good friends with like the guys that Fred, which they're like kind of all gone now. Although the guys that like framed the entire house got close with the framers, which felt like my people. And then, uh, so now we've moved on the drywall. There's a bit of a language barrier going on now, but we're overcoming through Budweiser.
Starting point is 02:12:09 And then I think we're close to meeting the roofers. I met the roofers, great dudes. And then I'm looking forward to hanging with the painters. Yeah, this might be why it's taking so long is they just wanna keep hanging out with you. Which yeah, it's really backfiring. Cause like in my mind, I was like, dude, hang out with them, buy beer, like they'll love you. They'll do it the right way. But
Starting point is 02:12:28 I think that I think, yeah, you're exactly right. I think they're just kind of procrastinating out for the hangout. Yeah. Like why would I ever, why would I ever finish a job if every Friday I got free beer and got to hang out with Blake Portals? Yeah. That's either, either they think you're too nice of a boss or they just love hanging out with you. Yeah. Yeah. One of the other, I'm either getting taken taken advantage of which I'm sure is probably the more likely option or you know, we did play There was a guy awesome dude. His name's 95 because he was born in 1995 Electrician they call 95 but guys were great They crushed everything they did wiring and everything throughout the house
Starting point is 02:13:02 I brought a football one day and we just had a catch and it just like stopped work. Everybody stopped what they were doing from the house, our house, the houses around. And next thing it felt like you were at just gym class in sixth grade and we're just playing a 15 way of catch. I love that. That's amazing. Yeah. I would never finish that house ever, ever ever know you it's probably good for you, too You're learning Spanish. Yeah, it's a blast We went over there today the guys just lay and haven't necessarily met anybody by name in the drywall department But they had the Spanish music bump in and it was just you know It really set us up for a good night because you walked in it was like I yeah
Starting point is 02:13:43 We're going to Mexican tonight margaritas. I love it. I love it. Um, all right. Well, Blake, we'll talk in about a month and a half for Blake of the year. We've got to figure it out. Um, and then I'll make sure that you're set up with, uh, the Barstool classic. I'm excited to see you win that thing. Look forward to it. I can't, don't you, uh, like top three teams go in there, like a championship that he that they do out in Arizona Yeah And this is gonna be the start of the championship DVD this like little segment on the podcast being like this is what it all Came out and you're gonna win the whole thing

Thanks again, man Appreciate it always great talking to you great talking to you guys talk soon Thanks again, man. Appreciate it. Always great talking to you. Great talking to you guys. Talk soon. Blake Bortles is brought to you by Chevy. As everyone knows, this is a Chevy truck podcast. The greatest trucks ever built and our good friends at Chevy have been a big part of the part of my take story. Silverado helped us dig the biggest hole ever dug in Ohio during grit week. Silverado partnered with us to give college fullbacks all the rightful recognition that they deserve with the Lowman Award and then they also
Starting point is 02:14:47 powered our non-stop cross-country trip to the Super Bowl in LA behind the wheel of a Chevy Silverado. Silverado has been a part of part of my take throughout the years. Chevy Silverado long-time awesome partner of the show. It's a truck with commanding and unstoppable grit, legendary capability, dependability too. It's very very comfortable. It's an awesome truck. it looks great, it's the perfect truck for tailgating. If you're thinking about tailgating, get ready for next football season, get yourself a Chevy Silverado.
Starting point is 02:15:15 Find out for yourself, like so many other AWLs, head to Chevy.com, check out all the Chevy truck grit, build your own Silverado. For do-it-yourself projects, to road trips offseason adventures to tailgates Whatever your thing is it all starts with a Chevy truck Okay, let's finish up the show. You have an embrace debate for us PFT. Yes. I have an embrace debate It's a good discussion that I think we should be having it's from Ed Latimore I had Latimore former professional boxer. Okay. He had this take on Twitter slash X. Something a lot of men don't like to admit.
Starting point is 02:15:49 All of your hobbies and ambitions are to attract women. Nature doesn't care how much personal fulfillment you get from them. Those things are cool, but they're coincidental positive externality to the prime objective to keep the species going. Every hobby that you have is designed to attract women. Factor fiction. I mean, my only hobby is gambling. Do you think women are attracted by flight simulators? No, serious question. No, no, more than gambling. That's a good embrace debate. Yeah, I think flight simulator would definitely get you I mean gambling has to be the least attractive thing to a woman if you're good at it
Starting point is 02:16:28 Yeah, if you're good, no, but that's a good point Hank like really good gamblers. They are they're swimming in it Yeah, I don't I that's my only hobby. So I don't know what I would be Take women are attracted to the fact that shot at 89 today some There are some how'd you shoot on the back nine? Good one. Do we have the least amount of hobbies as a podcast? Let's see I have zero you have no hobbies vacations. Nope. Yeah, that's a good hobby Yeah, I would be attracted to a woman max yelling at sports on TV is in the hobbies. That's job
Starting point is 02:17:02 Yeah memes. What's your hobby I'll call duty okay yeah video games no don't do that memes your hobbies helicopter parenting a turtle what's Shane's what didn't you just sometimes memes just like does he just doesn't speak you know I think he just does I also think memes doesn't understand like common phrases like helicopter parenting you've never heard that no Like someone who's just a parent who's like obsessive about their child to a point where it's unhealthy oh That makes sense. They're always how they're always like flying over them being like what oh what is what are they doing? What's mr.. Pear doing did he eat his poop again?
Starting point is 02:17:43 Yeah, probably he's a fucking dumbass turtle who can't pick games. Yeah. I recently got into zoology. Okay. Shane, what's your hobby? Well, we know what your hobby is, but what's your hobby you can say? You know. I don't even know, man. Work. Do you want us to say your hobby then sure combos?
Starting point is 02:18:15 Ft your hobby is guitar That is meant to attract women. I play guitar too. It's done a very poor job I think Guitar and flight seem like the flight simulator cancels out the guitar, but your guitar your your number one hobbies guitar You're really good at guitar. I'm no don't say that you are think that I'm really good at guitar You are really good at guitar. I think I'm a I'm a slightly above average guitar player player And then I am a chicks love guys who play guitar, but I'm a below average flight simulator player So what would be oh pug, Pug has entered.
Starting point is 02:18:46 Pug, what is your hobby? This should be good. Pug. Going for a walk. Good boy. Pug. I think- I saw the Northern Lights.
Starting point is 02:19:00 So this guy's only, I think the only hobbies that he's talking about is guys who work out a lot and Then guys who are like into fashion Maybe well, he's a boxer. So maybe his hobby was just beating people up Yeah, and that is like designed to get you can protect them Let me Google what hobby shing girls love guys that catch big fish attractive to women hobbies cooking, exercise, so ant, ant, outdoor recreation, ant, dance, ant. But I've also heard people say, like, isn't cooking feminine?
Starting point is 02:19:34 Yeah, but I think that's something like, girl, if you're like a really good cook. Like, this guy would say that cooking, I don't think cooking is feminine, but a guy like this would say that that's feminine. Yeah, politics, and pets. Yeah, I guess pets, OK? Photography, and Hank, you do photography.
Starting point is 02:19:52 Art, and sport. I'd assume that's playing the sport, not sitting on our asses watching the sport. You think that's attractive? We run some pickup. Yeah, I mean, we don't have any. I think maybe I could say we're we are probably pretty funny guys. Yeah, but that's not a hobby. No, it's not. So yeah, we have nothing. We have literally nothing in this podcast in terms of hobbies. So this guy is this guy wrong? I think the
Starting point is 02:20:24 vast majority of guys do hobbies because they just they want to do something Besides work. I think it's only I think he's just talking about people who exercise that's their hobby and Like it's exercising and like owning a boat those are the having money. Yeah, those are the attractive things to women gambling golfing flight simulators helicopter parenting turtles combos called going for walks Max Clogging toilets. I don't know
Starting point is 02:20:56 Complaining to your deli guy. Yeah, that's probably clog your shower drain too with all that fucking hair Oh, you probably shit in your shower. Ah You the waffle stop. I mean, this is wait what who told me there was a Was it Mel Gibson? Someone said that Mel Gibson takes a shit in every shower. He goes into Every hotel he goes into he takes a shit Funny rumor though takes a shit. No, there's a thing called the waffle stomp. It might just be an online thing. I don't know if people actually do, but people say that they do it. Do you want to know what it is? I'm going to give people the opportunity
Starting point is 02:21:35 to stop the pie. I know exactly what it is where you shit on the drain and then you stomp on your shit. That's on the drain to push it it down Shane is ferociously agreeing with you right now about the Mel Gibson. Oh The waffle style is it a thing to get a dictionary thing? Yeah, Mel Gibson does it do people actually do that? I don't know. That's a hobby. It's like a dictionary would be a hobby Max a lot of people have my back about the deli situation saying very very was too much Shut up about the deli situation saying very very was too much shut up they did they were like that's a fucking that's offensive to say very very to a deli man people were saying everything no they said that mostly you probably saw like three tweets being like oh yeah big cat you're right
Starting point is 02:22:17 nearly that's about right yeah it's like I think it might have been too by the way I got a shipping confirmation I completely forgot that we ordered you a cheese slicer. So that's going to be a giant box arriving. Yeah, we got that for you. Ready. Yeah. Okay. That's the show.
Starting point is 02:22:36 Let's do numbers. We got a little twist here. Max and I have, I don't know how long this tradition will last, but we've started a tradition. We're going to at least do it one more week where we just decided we were bored on Thursday. We did 40 free throws and the winner got the loser's number on Sunday night show. So now we set a line, credit to me for being a great odds maker. I set the line at four and a half. I missed the last free throw to only beat Max by four. So he did beat me.
Starting point is 02:23:09 I beat him. Out of 10? It was out of 40. I did beat him. I beat him by four, but the line was four and a half. It was a very fair spread. What was the number made? Don't worry, yeah.
Starting point is 02:23:20 I think we made like 32. We actually shot so bad that we made Pug and Shane leave and then come back and pretend that we had just started, we were on our last 10 free throws and we're like, all right, so I've made 28 out of 30 and Max, it was bad. Whatever, the camera came on, we shot like shit. So anyway, Max has my number here. So I get to select a number.
Starting point is 02:23:41 If it hits, it counts as Max's win. Okay, I'm alright with this happening one time. This can't be a normal thing because I'm matched up against Max now. I can't have Max beating me. You can't be giving Max extra turns without my permission. PFT, if Max wins with my number, do you know how much I have over him for the rest of our lives? Like, it would be the biggest Mickey Mouse.
Starting point is 02:24:06 Like, you can't win without my number. Win, win, win. Think about it. He's put himself in such. No, don't care. And then I'll reverse it because I've already won. So if I win with his number,
Starting point is 02:24:15 also PFT, I promise you I will not lose again. Okay. I will not lose again. Okay. So we're gonna do at least one more time. I will not. And the line's always four. No, the line goes, so since I lost, it's now three and a half.
Starting point is 02:24:28 I'll win that. And if I win, then it goes back to four and a half. If he wins with my number, that's the biggest cock move of all time. Win. Yeah, you know what I've done, PFT, here. I put us in a very good spot. Max knows it, too.
Starting point is 02:24:43 Yeah, oh, he knows. He's fighting it right now, but he knows it. He knows it. Well, oh he knows. He's fighting it right now but he knows it. He knows it. Well I mean I'm not fighting anything and nothing's happened yet. And the reverse is true that if I won with Max's I would spin it and be like you can't win on your own. I have to take your number to win this. He's fucked.
Starting point is 02:24:59 He's so fucked. He doesn't realize what he's done to himself alright so I'm gonna select my number just regular and then it will be yours okay all right numbers 28 46 three I was I thought you were gonna pick 20 and I didn't want that 99 bug. 21. I'll go with 1. Okay. Losers Hank. Max have you ever gotten this? 46. No PFT have you ever gotten this? Not yet.
Starting point is 02:25:38 What was your number PFT? 45! Oh no Hank! So close So max just he couldn't even get it with two numbers. Oh what a loser Dude he's got how many numbers you need to be able to get this probably you can't even do it with two I take a hundred Loser how many times have we drawn the lotto ball here 76?
Starting point is 02:26:05 It was I guess that was guess you said it very assertively Wait, I want to just do one This doesn't count for anything other than just for my own fun here max pick a number that it won't be I'm not going pick One number that it won't be I I'm not going to pick one number that it won't be nope Come on max this is for the people pick one number pick one number No one number that it won't be no why won't you do this you're being a baby three, okay? 47 Wow Hank you were on it. 47 and 45.
