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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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?
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,
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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?
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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
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.
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
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,
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.

He's the guy that wore the red bandana.
You remember the movie Dumb Money?
Yes!
That was by the way.
Portnoy was in it.
Fresh tweet since 2021.
Whoa!
Dumb Money and the Patriots documentary,
two instances in the last like three months

Yep, true. So yeah, he's back online up. Yeah, pops up. And Johnny Manziel.
Yep, true.
So yeah, he's back online now.
Oh shit.
Which means some weird shit's about to go down.
I want in this time.
Yeah, what's he telling people to buy?
There's no context or anything.
It's just this meme.
So no one really knows.
I'm gonna retweet it.
Yeah.
I'm gonna buy it and then I'm gonna hold it.
I'm gonna retweet it with the eyeballs.
I might even start holding it before I buy it. So this guy is the guy who did the GameStop stuff. Yeah. I'm gonna buy it and then I'm gonna hold it. I'm gonna retreat it with the eyeballs. I might even start holding it before I buy it.
So this guy is the guy who did the GameStop stuff.
Yeah.
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.
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.
Okay, but we're back.
Stonks.
So I'm putting on alerts for Roaring Kitty.
Who's back? Stonks.
He's gonna tell us what to do?
Does he just say what to do and then we all,

He says, I like the stock.
Like, could I, if he likes the stock,
then it's good stock.
Could I DM Roaring Kitty right now

Yeah, please.
Hank, who's your who's back?
My who's back of the week is Rory.
Yeah.
What do you do?
He dominated Quail Hollow, won the Wells Fargo.
Shout out Jake, did a great job. Jake Marsh was on the call. Max played well, finished eighth,
had an eagle in the first hole. Jake called it. That was a great moment. 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
that was like it's not it's not out there official but he's on the did you just violate
HIPAA no he's he's he's doing media stuff at Valhalla with his baby no but oh I'm pretty
sure it's confirmed following birth a child. All right. Congratulations. When did that baby happen?
Eric shared the news Saturday afternoon. So he just had his baby. Congratulations. This is nothing beneficial at all
So, okay. So congratulations on the baby. Yeah, he's gonna his I mean my son turned one today and that was Mother's Day
Sucks. I have the same thing with my first son is,
two years ago was Father's Day, sucks.
You just get robbed of your day.
Swagger jacked.
Big time.
By a baby.
By a fucking baby.
Charlotte the Stingray still has not given birth.
My kids did not, my older kids did not understand
the concept that the presents were not for them.
They're like, but the baby can't open the presents.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
PJ championship Roy won his last start Brooks won his last start before PGA Championship. Roy won his last start.
Brooks won his last start.
Oh, the big three.
OK.
Storylines.
And where is the PGA?
Valhalla.
OK.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

Okay we now welcome on our very good friend, recurring guest, very, very good friend, Julian
Edelman. You're, you're shaking. You're shaking. Yeah, because I have, I'm trying to get, I
have awkward arm angle and I'm using my phone and I'm watching games. 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.
Then you might see my balls because I'm wearing some really short shorts.
Oh, there we go. All right. This is perfect. All right. So Jules is on. Um, we should have,
we should have had you on right after the roast. Obviously you were partying after roast,
but we still wanted to have you on. We also needed to have you on because we need some
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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,
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.
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,
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. So sometimes they, even though So sometimes they even though they're close you wouldn't hear you hear the reaction before you hear the joke
He is the best though
Like it was I was saying I wanted just some mic'd up
Episode of the roast just to him because like his and his roast just him just being Gronk is so fucking funny
He's just the best man. Yeah, he's honestly the most genuine like lovable dude. Yeah, we love him. My last question for me, just who out of the non-comedians do you think
had the best set? And you can't say the ones that we talked about. You can't say Drew Bledsoe
and you can't say- I think Nikki Glaser killed it.
Well, she's a comedian though. Oh wow, that was misogynistic of you.
No, but she literally, I thought I heard jokes for her. Did you say were did you say oh non players was the best
non comedian yeah yeah and you just were like oh that that chick was pretty funny that was
crazy she was I thought she was the best she was the best she was the best yeah but who
of the non-comedians athlete athlete or actor we know it wasn't been a flex so we can scratch that one
Like you fucking keyboard warrior, who are you roasting?
Yeah, um, I can't say Drew I
Thought Tom did well. Yeah, that Kanye joke was good. Yeah about Kim. It was great I also thought like Tom did a good job of at the end like you didn't want him to like he
He did what he should have done being like fuck all of you. I'm Tom Brady
Yeah, you know what I mean? Like that's like you didn't play like like oh like it's kind of like I'm a humble guy
He's like no. No, I'm Tom Brady, which that was what he should have done
dude
The guy wins. It's crazy. We went on a Fox retreat for NFL Fox like all the all the dogs and stuff like Terry how he coached
Tom was out there Burkhardt and we were playing this game LRC
And for 45 minutes Tom's bit was out, you know what I mean? Have you guys played that game?
was out. You know what I mean? Have you guys played that game? What? No, what is it? Like there's three dice and then there's
dots. Oh, yeah. Put it the R. You should pass it right. You
know, left left dude fully wanted in front of everyone.
Everyone's like, oh my God, this it's really true. This guy
wins at everything. It is first introductory. His first
introduction to like the Fox team. You know what I mean?
Like really all of us kind of hanging out and it was just like everyone, everyone's like, Oh my God, is he Jesus? I heard Greg Olsen's
really good at that game too. Oh, he wasn't invited to that. I don't know. You're talking about

We already did an episode.
We did the Pro Bowl when he got Pro Bowl MVP.
You should do, you should be like, hey, tomorrow,
can we do the episode where it was like maybe like week six?
It was Bears-Dolphins.
And he got in, allegedly got in a screaming match with Robbie Gold after the game in the locker room. You should see if he'll do that one.
We got like embarrassed and it was like it was like a real low. It was like Brandon Marshall fights with kicker. You should do that.
Oh, man.
No, I'm not.
Do it. I just like the fact that Brandon Marshall was hanging out at your house and then he walks by and he's also got a football in his hand. Yeah. He's like, yeah,
but it's me, Brandon Marshall, the football player. We're just playing football. Yeah.

And now for something completely different.
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
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
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
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
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
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%.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
That's right. I can't wait. It'll be blast. Thanks for helping me out. Yeah. All right. Well Blake. 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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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?
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.
Pug, what is your hobby?
This should be good.
Pug.
Going for a walk.
Good boy.
Pug.
I think-
I saw the Northern Lights.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
