Today is Monday, May 9th, and it was the weekend of upsets. We had them all.

We had Rich Strike 80 to one Kentucky Derby. We had Dmitri Bival win against Canelo Alvarez on Saturday night. We had Max Homa actually win a golf tournament. The Reds, the Cincinnati Reds won a series against the Pirates, but still. And one game was postponed for rain, but still it was the upset weekend PFT. And the Mavericks one and the Mavericks one and Chris Paul fouled out. Chris Paul fouled out. But Chris Paul has alerted us to the real the real issue coming out of this game.

Someone put their hands on his family. Did you see the video of it? I did not. It's like a 17 year old kid getting kicked out of the game and everyone keeps using the phrase put their hands on which you shouldn't do at a game. You shouldn't put your hands on players, families, but they haven't said like actually what happened with it. There was bodily contact and then on Mother's Day, no less.

The kids, the 17 year old kid's mom had to escort him out of the stadium and take him out of there. Sing for the mom. Also verbal meme. Ryan Rosillo sitting in his house in Manhattan Beach, Arthur Fist watching that video being like he is kind of like he is Chris Paul's mom. Yeah, he's everything to Chris Paul. He's Chris Paul's everything.

What's the movie? Everything everywhere all the time or something incredibly close. Yeah. And extremely loud. That's it. Right. That's all next to his TV. That's that's that's Ryan Rosillo's Chris Paul's love story.

Yeah, love. Actually, yeah, the Chris Paul Ryan Rosillo story. We'll talk about NBA. I think we got to start with the Derby. Let's start with the horse race. We got to start with the Derby because Rich Strike. I think most people watch Kentucky Derby. If you didn't, Rich Strike 80 to one, the second longest odds ever in Kentucky

Derby history, the longest being 1913. So think about how far back that is over a hundred years. Titanic. Yes, sunk, sunk. I think that was pre-titanic. I think it was 1912 was the Titanic. Was it? Check, Jake, either way, crazy, crazy story.

If you saw it, it was an incredible run that basically every horse ran. In 1912, there we go. Every horse ran in a blistering pace and then they all had jelly legs and Rich Strike. The overhead view that was shared. It was an all time, all time Kentucky Derby to put it into perspective. 80 to one, it's not the same because obviously boxing is, you know, two guys, but everyone always looks to the Buster Douglas, Mike Tyson, the craziest, you know, upset ever Buster Douglas was 42 to one.

And Rich Strike was 80 to one. I think the Bears right now are 80 to one to win the Super Bowl. So anything's possible, but it was insane. Like, though, so like to get a little technical on horse racing, Rich Strike was got was bought in a $30,000 claiming race, which if you don't know what a claiming race is, it's basically every single horse in that race is on waivers to be bought before the race starts.

Those horses like barely ever win another race, let alone the Kentucky fucking Derby. Well, Rich Strike also didn't know that it was going to be racing until like the night before the race, because I think it was like the 24th horse. Yes. And so there were four scratches that brought it up to being the last one. And it actually, I dug into the numbers a little bit. It was two miles per hour faster. Rich Strike hit a speed that was two miles per hour faster

than any horse in that race in the last 10 years, which is crazy. And he ran 60 feet longer than the runner up in the Kentucky Derby. So he ran farther in this race and still caught him from behind. It was it was awesome. And I love this horse because the horse has like an attitude. Oh, he's biting every horse. He's trying to eat another horse right after he won. He was he was biting his Louis Suarez of horses.

He was trying to bite the other. He was trying to bite the jockey of the other. The the the guy that was in charge of like corraling Rich Strike and directing him to the winter circle had to punch him in the face. Yes, because the horse was biting his kneecap after the victory. Act like you've been there before Rich Strike. But I do like I like having a bad boy of horses. But if I was Rich Strike's owner right now, you just got to retire this horse.

You got to be like, I'm going out on top. Rich Strike is going to be pictured in the back of a limo in Vegas with like cocaine and hulkers. It should get fat. It should just be put out to stud for the rest of its career. Never let it race again because you're never going to reach. It's not Rich Strike is not going to become like the new secretary. No, no, no, he again, like I know I'm trying to think of what it would be.

Like a thirty thousand dollar claiming race like those. Like Leichester City. Yeah, but those races, those races are basically designed. If your horse is not good enough, you put it up in a claiming race because it's it's lesser competition and it can be bought. So that's the other part of this. There was a person who owned Rich Strike, put it in a claiming race and then the owner bought it in a claiming race for thirty thousand dollars,

a fucking ticket to cash for, I don't know. It was millions and it's probably going to be even more after this. But it's such an improbable, improbable story. The I think it was the trainer was doing an interview after. It might have been the owner the day after. So Sunday morning and he like didn't know how to stand next to microphones. They had to be like, hey, can you get a little closer? Because you're standing. It was like Ricky Bob.

He passed out after the race. He was like, I can't what planet this is an earth that I'm on right now. Like I just won the Kentucky Derby. He had no zero expectation for this horse. It's it's it's all like in every step of it is crazy because like the owner. So horse racing, it's it's maiden race. And then it goes to claiming then allowance, then stakes. And there's different grades in all of these.

So think of it like, you know, single A double A triple A major league. The trainer had never won a triple A game, let alone a major league game. The or sorry, the owner, the trainer had only won one major league game. He hadn't won anything else besides that. And the jockey had never won at this level either. They basically it's it's slumdog millionaire. It's like the most improbable story. It's a bunch of guys getting together and and just for one day

being greater than everyone else and the odds are so improbable. I I mean, I bet every single horse race at Churchill Downs those two days. When he crossed the wire, I audibly was like, who the fuck is that horse? Because I didn't even you couldn't you could ask me before. And I wouldn't be like, you know, like right before the Derby, you can basically rattle off every horse because you've read so much and you've bet so much. I had no idea who it was. No idea.

Yeah. And I feel like the the other owners of all the horses in this race are are pissed off. They're probably fucking heated right now. And we're waiting for the other shoe to drop because the horse ran such a good race for being so on. It was an orphan. It was essentially an orphan before this race. So and I just won one race. The only race I won was the claiming race.

It was lost six other races. I have a feeling that we're this horse is going to be trashed in the media. Hold on. Over the course of the next week. I don't see this fucking horse's name dragged through the mud. I just want to say I'm on team Rich Strike. Rich Strike is a dog. Hold on. Horse racing needs a bad boy. And to have a horse that fucking tries to eat the other horses after it

finishes. That's what that's what horse racing needs to be appealing to Gen Z. OK. So here's why I don't think that's going to happen. There's been a lot of people in like steroids. That's got to be like what you know it entered so late. All these things. Remember when the MLB locked out in 1994 and ruins ruin baseball forever. And how did they come back steroids. Yeah. And how did it all work out.

Everyone turned a blind eye for many, many years. Well Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds were hitting dingers left and right. What happened going into this Kentucky Derby. First of all, it was the first time that they've had the full house. So we had a couple of COVID years. Bob Baffert loomed over everything for mistreatment of horses. There's been some bad stories about horse racing recently. There's been some deaths in horse racing.

Bad vibes going around bad when it comes to like the Kentucky Derby. You don't want to ever have the biggest day in horse racing when the most casuals tune in, have a story about the like greatest guy in horse racing, Bob Baffert mistreating horses. Wouldn't it be perfect if you have an 80 to one? A shot that like everyone's going to look at and be like $30,000. We could have bought this horse. I guarantee everyone was saying that after.

I think they're going to if there is something wrong here, they're just going to sweep it under the rug because it's the greatest story ever. So it's going to save horse right now that it need to be saved. But it's going to save horse racing this year when you had the Bob Baffert looming over everything and some bad vibes, 80 to one fixes every other owners. They're going to be pissed though. That's what I'm saying. The other owners and the other owners of the one is good for the sport.

So I don't realize. No, but it's not. They don't realize it's not like in Major League Baseball win in 1995, 96. You've got, you know, ticket prices and attendance going up across the board where all the owners are making money. They're all pissed off that this horse came in at the last second. Like under under the night of the moon, this horse was entered into the race, came off, kicked the shit out of them and then tried to eat their horses afterwards.

They're not going to stand for that. I just want to say that I'm on I'm on team rich strike in this. I think that rich strike is going to get unfairly maligned. And personally, I don't care. I don't care what if there was any funny business behind the scenes. I personally just like this horse. But it's not going to he's not going to win the preakness. So it will be it will go away quickly.

I hope he just retires right. But he goes off in the sunset. It's not he's not going to win the preakness. So it will go away and the owners will have to just deal with it. I'm saying if there if you want to stay woke, what's the perfect way to be like? What a story. What a Kentucky Derby Baffert. Who you get 80 to one longest shot in over 100 years.

This story of of guys buying a horse for $30,000. It's the perfect story. And I obviously, like I said, I don't think it's going to save horse racing, but did for a day. They should be just going to lead us all the way to the preakness where everyone's going to talk about it and we'll get. Hopefully, we don't get milkshake ducked by the owner or the trainer. Yeah. Did this horse have bad tweets back in the day?

Was he problematic with his political? Who did this horse vote for? This horse was in Charlottesville. Yeah. What the fuck? Where the hell did this horse come from? It's a police horse. Yeah. Yeah. No, the ultimate spin zone of this, though, came from Mike Leach. Did you see what Mike Leach?

No, I love everybody who has to work their angles into everything. And Mike Leach, having a horse racing take was just great. It was perfect. He said that horse winning the Kentucky Derby today is a good example of why an expanded college football playoff is needed. Love it. That horse hadn't won all the races leading up, but he got its chance. And that's what happened. It is. It's perfect.

I mean, it is UMBC. It is. Well, it's like Mississippi State. Yeah. Like getting hot at the right time and somehow beating Alabama. Yeah. No, it's it's it's a crazy, crazy, long shot odds. Every part of the story is is nuts. You know, no one except our security guard who shout out Danny and Mike, who are with us in Vegas. They did have a ticket on Rich Strike.

He also had like every horse, but he did say, and I believe this, he went up to the teller and the teller was like, you know what horse that has literally not one single person has been on today? Rich Strike. And then he put 20 bucks on it. And PFT, you know, we talked about, I was like, give me a number for roulette. And you said 21. Oh, there you go. It was 21. Someone mentioned that. It was like, we should have, I should have been thinking higher level.

We didn't tap into that. Yeah. I immediately was like, oh, man, if I put a thousand bucks on it. Yeah. Did you ever want to roulette? Yeah, didn't hit. Oh, shit. My bad. That was because it was the signs were right. We just read it wrong. Yeah. Yeah. It's out there. It's a us problem. It was so crazy.

And if you haven't seen the like the aerial view of the run, it's it's incredible to watch a great call. I don't think you'll ever have a Kentucky Derby again, where the horse that wins didn't have its name said until the last like five seconds. It wasn't even set. I think, yeah. The coolest part about this is if any horse, if the favorite was in that position, it still would have been crazy. Oh, yeah. No, that would have been that would have been a run.

You see those right every now and then where a horse comes from the clouds is what they say. And like that was that was from the clouds, but also 80 to one. There were selling t-shirts at the Churchill Downs, and they had like 10 horses on each side. And so, yeah, he wasn't on there. It wasn't even on there. Right. Right. Because he was add on on Friday night. You bought it. Yeah. If you bought a Kentucky Derby shirt,

you don't even have the winner on the shirt. This is a dude. That's incredible. This is a dude who played like like high school baseball. And then like maybe a little bit of like softball and adult beer, beer league went went to the World Series and hit a home run. That's what this is. It's like that scene in D2, Mighty Ducks, too, where they go to the playground and they play against the knucklepuck kids.

Yeah. And they beat the share of the American national team. Yeah. And they're like, oh, you know what? This hockey team made me regain my love for the sport. Maybe the other horses will be out there at the preakness with a little smile on their little horse faces. We should compliment horse racing, though. Here's the real story. Nobody died. Yeah. Nobody died. And there wasn't like a 30 minute booth review that took everybody's time

where they declared that the winner of the race wasn't actually the winner. So that's all really horse racing has to do to make most fans happy. But a long shot story is pretty cool. It is. It gets everyone like all the stories afterwards. People are talking about the owner and the trainer and the job like the jockey. There's a lot of overtaking in this race. Yeah. But the jockey was racing in like there's so many different tracks around America, the jockey was racing in a nothing track.

And he actually was a good jockey. I saw a stat that he only 10 jockeys had won more races than him in 2021, but he was also there were 65 jockeys that won more money. So he was racing. He was winning, but he was winning in nothing races over and over. He'd never won a big race, though. Right. The owner had never won a big race. The trainer, I don't think it ever went a big race.

No, the trainer had won one graded stakes win in 30 years. And there had never been an allowance race, which is still a step below stakes races. It's it's all nuts. And it's it's one of the coolest stories. Say I'm just going to say it. It saved racing, it saved racing. It's like that horse will never have a day like this. There probably won't be another day like this nor it's racing for a very long time.

Triple crown until we get another Titanic. Yeah. What if it was a triple crown? No, no. I mean, yeah. If he went to Triple Crown, it would be it would. I don't know. There would never be a story like this. Actually, there would never be a comparable like Lester City would be out the window, which was what was 150 to one. Yeah, but even that five like those.

This should be this. It could be the biggest thing in horse racing history, actually. It would be if it if it won the Triple Crown, if it won the Triple Crown, it'd be UM UMBC going to like the championship. I'm taking Secretary off my number one list of best athlete of all time and replacing it with Rich Strike if it went to the crown. I'm just going to say it. He's my goat horse.

He might already be my goat horse just because I love I love the theatrics. I say it was like the Dremont Green of horse rate. We need a bad boy horse. Yeah, like the 89 pistons of horse racing. Yeah, I hope they call him Richard. That would be kind of cool. Richard every morning. Yeah, they're just like, hey, what's up, Richard?

Yeah, they're like, hey, what's up, guy? But yeah, that was crazy. What should we go to next? Should we talk NBA? Let's talk some. Let's talk some league. Let's talk some of this league. You want to start actually with warriors, grizzlies that has gotten very ugly. A lot of shots going back and forth broke the code, which is something that's happening now.

And John Morant has claimed that. Yeah, he was the Jordan pool broke the code on him by lightly tugging on his knee. What is the code? The code is don't tug on anyone's another man's knee. I think it's just knees. Yeah. You don't fuck with another man's knee. I. So I was we were at the canal

Bival fight and I like caught up later and watching the reaction. At first I was like, did Jordan pool like rip his leg in half? And then I watched it. I was like, wait, there's there's no way this is what hurt Joe John Morant. And then people found it. So John Morant tweeted. He broke the code and then underneath it. People were replying, dude,

how about when you like dive bombed into clay and you bang knees like a few minutes before that feels like that might have been when you hurt your knee and then he deleted the tweet. It was such a it was like a grab and a small pull. Now, unless you thought that he had the ability to like reach into John Morant's leg, right, break the skin, grab the patella tendon and then pull it out like you're I don't know, like you're tearing spaghetti out of a meatball pie or something like that. There's no chance you could have actually been hurt on it.

But when it's the hand, you don't put it. You don't put your hands on another man's knee on the inside of the knee. I think you can touch another man's outside of their knee when it's when it's. Yeah, you don't reach it under the skin. Right. Don't break the skin with your fingers on another man's knee. There's I've never let another man touch the inside of my knee. The issue is no one's ever Steve Ballmer.

Never when you reach out and you grab with your hands. It's much more intentional looking than if you were to like bang legs. You know, you can always be like, oh, I don't have the greatest I need coordination. Right. But if you're doing it with your hand, then it's very much intentional. But there was like zero percent chance of an injury. And it also it was a situation where we slowed it down and watched it over and over. It's like, but that's not how it happened.

It happened in real speed, not this super, super slow mo where you can be like, oh, my God, what do you do? And I think he was intentionally grabbing the leg and the ball was he was grabbed for the ball, then he grabbed, you know, something. I just don't know how that could have hurt him. And it's also all under the umbrella of the Dylan Brooks Val, which was very, very dirty and probably put Gary Payton Jr. out of the entire playoffs. And also like I saw there was another one where Desmond Bain dove into a guy's knees.

Like this series has been very chippy, very back and forth. And Steve, you saw even Steve Kerr. I think the quote was they're like, what's the game plan tonight? He's like, play good defense, play sound defense. You know, get get the ball to our shooters and don't jump at anyone when they're in the air and try to injure them and take them out for the rest of the playoffs. So like it's it's going back and forth between the two teams.

Yeah, I think that if if that was actually a play that could have resulted in knee injury, what you see in every NFL game, every play in the NFL, correct. There would be like blown out ACLs, every single one. That's it was kind of I think they're just looking for a reason to get pissed off at each other, which I like my life. You have to invent reasons to get mad at the other. That's fine. Just get mad on because sports are more fun when you have these combative series

where you actually do think, OK, this is my enemy. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to beat them. And you have a little bit, which is a great storyline. And, you know, you go back in the history of the NBA. There's always the young, you know, upstart teams that have to go through the the teams that have one championship. Yeah, they got to learn how to win. And if you feel, yeah, it's like a little bit in the capitals.

Yeah, it's a lot like that. Exactly. But yeah, the the back and forth between the coaches, I think is good. I like it. Yeah. And there also has been a lot of this going around where I've seen it happen actually in the Bucks Celtics and we can maybe use as a jumping off point for Hank to complain about the referees. But people are doing a lot of just slowing down replays of normal in balance passes where players are defending other players and being like,

look, that's dirty. Look how he steps under his legs when the other guy's jumping in the air. That happens when you're like guarding somebody man to man and they jump for a pass and everyone's moving a million miles an hour and everyone is a freak athlete. And it's like, yeah, every time you slow something down, you can interpret it in a way that makes it seem like there was bad intentions. Like it's dirty. They're doing that to Marcus Smart when he was trying to guard

Giannis on an inbound play. It's like, listen, I get Marcus Smart has like a little bit of a reputation and he is kind of a psycho that plays on that board or sometimes. But like he's just playing pretty good defense. Check shout out Grant Williams, by the way. He just straight up hockey check, Grayson Allen. Yeah, so something everyone should aspire to do. So Hank, the officiating this series, I think it's been pretty good.

What do you think? Yeah, no, I mean, I mentioned the rest. I was only specifically talking about the last play of the game when Marcus Smart clearly got fouled shooting a three and they called it on the floor, only got two free throws and kind of, you know, end of the game, basically. I don't like to be the person that's like, oh, the rest sucked. The rest has had the series, like it's just not.

It's not who you are. No, it's not who you are. You got all teams have to deal with referees. Referees are just trying to do their jobs. Giannis is a fucking fullback that just runs down people's throats and they never call it. But that's that's just how it is. Like, I don't I'm not I'm not. I'm not going to let the referees decide whether or not this

health is win this series. So it's on them. That game was that last call was bullshit. I watched I was in the green room with Hank. He was watching on his phone. He was dying with every every possession. I I think that game probably hurt because it was very winnable. The Celtics should have won there up.

I think one or two, they had a possession. They had three missed threes. Like they got a three, got an offensive rebound, got another look. Wide open three missed it. And then Grant Williams had a rebound and he just like deflected it out of bounds without anyone being else there. And then they lost like they should have and could have won. And and and Marcus Mark outfoul.

Well, at the end of the day, too, when when your team is in the playoffs, it's very easy to blame refs. It's a lot harder to blame your star players. And the story really is Jason Tatum went for for 19. Yeah, he didn't get off the bus. He did not play well. And we've this is that these playoffs are supposed to be like Jason Tatum's launching pad to being one of those elite, elite players who he was in the first round.

He has been at times in this series, but that like that's the story. If he plays if he plays just average basketball, not even his like, you know, top level basketball, top 10 player in the league. If he just plays average, they win that game. Jaylen Brown was a no show game one. Jason Tatum was a no show game three. You got to assume that eventually they're both going to show up and play to win the game.

Yeah, I wanted when I was watching the replay of that that last the Marcus Smart foul on the three pointer, I wanted to believe that like Hank was just crying about nothing. I wanted to think like, oh, Hank has no point here. He doesn't know ball. I watched it and I kind of agree with Hank. I think it was a foul. I think it was a shooting foul. I think it's pretty clear now.

Obviously, like when you watch his follow through the theatrics afterwards are very funny. I was like just throwing both his hands towards the basket, not in a real shooting motion like he was pumped to get fouled. He was really excited that he got fouled on that play. But just because you like the fact that you got fouled doesn't change the fact that it was very obviously a reach in as you were going to go up and attempt that three point shot.

But I also don't want that to distract from the fact that Marcus Smart had maybe the best intentional missed free throw of time at the end of the game where he got the ball back. Everyone in the arena knew what he's going to do. And he still he threw him off this time. He did like I've never seen a player do a hard count on a foul shot before. Yeah. And that's kind of what he did. And he caught him sleeping, caught it in the air

and then probably should have scored afterwards. It was that was the most impressive play of the game. Yeah, it was it was an incredible intentional miss. The foul for Marcus Smart. I don't think I don't know if it was like he was very clearly shooting. I think the more frustration from Hank's perspective is that they usually call that that's what it that's what it boils down to. Whether whether you think he was shooting a three or not,

that usually gets called. And any other situation of the game besides the last whatever 30 seconds. Right. So how are you feeling going into Monday? Because the mini wamping is off. Mini wamping is off. You put that button away. One thing I'll also say to shout out to Pat to the content recurring guest.

He's he does this thing where he catches the ball no matter where it is and just shoots it. Yeah, like it's an unbelievable. I don't know. I don't know what people. No, no, no, no. But this is like there was one play where he caught it. It was like above his head and he literally didn't move his hand. Caught it and just released the ball high.

Don't bring it. It's impressive. I'll try and I'll try and identify the video and put it out there. I mean, it's a gutter war. I said this from the beginning of the series. This was not going to be an easy series to win. Yeah. No one thought we were going to win in four or five. We got to win, you know, every game from here or not. It's a must win.

But I think it's just going to go back and forth. I think it's going to go seven. Didn't we discuss that a mini-wamping could be six games if you blew them out? I don't want to disrespect the opponents. The Bucks are a good team and we just any any wins a good win and a serious wins a serious win. It doesn't matter how many games it takes.

Right. You're not looking ahead to either the sixers of the heat right now. I would never do that. No, never. I don't think the mini-wamping they'll can happen because they did the Bucks did want them game one. Yeah. They beat him by 12 in Boston. That's true. I was I was talking to a friend this week and who had questions about the different tiers of wampings and mini-wampings.

We should actually sit down and figure out, like, put together me and do a list of like, OK, here's a shit pumping. Yeah. Here's an ass kicking. Here's a wamping. Here's a mini-wamping. Here's a gentleman's sweep. I actually don't know if we want to really get into detail with we can do it another time. I don't know if if one of your best players is hurt

or a wamping is even on the table. I don't think it can be. Yes. So like the Bucks could never have gotten won because of Chris Middleton's injury. Correct. Mark smart in play game. But that's true. You didn't play game two. But they could get mini-wamped. They could get mini-wamped.

Yeah. It's like not all gentlemen's sweeps if you want things, but not all wampings or gentlemen's sweeps. If you honest was out, you can't mini-wamp. Correct. You have your best players out. Wampings off the table. I think if your best players out, the highest you can have is you took care of business.

Yeah. You did what you were supposed to do. Yep. Exactly. It's still hard to beat teams in this league. Sunday's games, Chris Paul, more like Piss Paul. Yikes. I was actually hoping I bleep that out. I really, I was hoping that we could just let Chris Paul get as many fouls as he wants so he could get a quadruple double. So people could be like, point God, 10 points, 10 assists,

10 rebounds, 11 fouls. I think fouls should count differently based on, one, how many rings you have. So his would actually be the exact same on that standard. And then two, based on your size. Yeah. Like it's always weird when a little guy fouls. I was like, oh, that's so cute. I want to pat him on his head.

Yeah. It's I feel good that we had that conversation. We, we hashed everything out on, on Friday show where we decided that even though Chris Paul is incredible and does things that are like, Holy fuck, he's just completely demolishing this team by himself from the point guard position. We stayed the course and we said, we're not going to relent. We're not going to give up. He's a choke artist.

Now we just got to go to game five and hope that the Mavs can can keep, keep it going, which I don't think they will. I think this is if I had to predict game five, I think this is a true point, point God, 28, like 10 and six. He's got the bulletin board material. Yeah. And he's what they might call in Scott Foster. Yeah. If they do, all bets are off, obviously, on that one. Chris Paul, we did determine like we all agree he's awesome.

But at the same time, he sucks. Yeah. And those are my favorite players. Like he is the best player in the NBA who also sucks ass. He's the weather. Yeah. If you don't like it, just wait five minutes. That's a good joke. Yeah. There you go. So that's that's Chris Paul. That's old school PMT. Yeah, we got it. We just got to wait another couple of games

because I don't I think he's going to show up in game five. And then we're going to have to eat some crow and people are going to tag us the other way with recilivators. I think we probably are going to break like Chris Paul in the playoffs. If Chris Paul gets back to the finals, we'll break a record for most tweets tagged with recil, myself and you. We just have to. Yeah, you're right. We just have to wait and let Chris Paul do something hilarious

again, because it's going to happen and they're going to be games. You can actually what's great about being an awesome player who sucks is that in a way, everybody's right about Chris Paul. Yeah, everyone can at the end of the day, at the end of a season, be like, look, my narrative this entire time was 100 percent correct. He makes all of us feel smarter about basketball. Yeah. And it is getting tenuous with with recil because I texted him asking him how many of those files were bullshit.

And he had like very quickly had a detailed report being like the third, the sixth, the fifth and like, like I was like, OK, make sense. So we're just going to have to, you know, Tuesday is going to be a big fucking game. Game five. Hopefully the Mavs can show up and we can hopefully nobody in the crowd breaks the code. Yeah. I mean, that is fucked up. It is. It is. But it's fair. You should watch the video because the kid is like 16 or 17.

And then Chris Paul is looking at him like yelling. I'm like, he's going to kill him. That would be great. A great use of your rule where you can fight a fan. Yes. If it's Chris Paul, it gets a 16 year old. Yes. And the other everybody be like, that's a Mickey Mouse fight. Yeah. And then the 16 year old beats him up because he's like a foot taller. Yeah.

And then we have the Sixers officially back, which I know Hank is rooting for the Sixers. He's not looking ahead. He's not looking ahead, but he's rooting for the Sixers. Joe Bede, like indestructible. I'm actually I forgot to tweet tonight. Like he's I'm giving my MVP vote to him. So I'm sending it back in.

It's switched a few times. Has Luca been in the conversation? Luca has been in the conversation on game two. I took it away from what you should do after you got ripped. If the Suns win the championship, you got to give your MVP to Chris Paul. Yeah, that should be the rule. That should be the rule. But yeah, the Sixers turns out Joe Bede is really good at basketball. And he's very important to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Yep. This is breaking it. What's the meme? Nobody cared who I was until I put on the mask. Yep. That's kind of where we're at with Joel and Bede right now. He gave an all time suck it to the crowd. Yeah, on Friday night. Just big time chopped right like blatantly. It was such a good suck it that even on television,

they had to replay it over and over just to highlight what a great suck it was. And he had to turn the cameras away. But it's like, you know what? The kids are probably in bed. It's late at night. Let's just all respect what a great DX this was. Yes. And he's I mean, fuck, it's fun to watch and play. So, hey, how are you feeling now? The fact that you're down and the Sixers have even the series.

You're you're you're faux. I bet the Sixers tonight. We talked about it before before tonight, who we're going to bet. I bet the Sixers, I thought they were going to win. I can't worry about the series, you know, I think it's two good teams. Whoever comes out is going to be the better team. But if I had to pick right now, I'd probably still say the heat. But I hope it's the Sixers.

But yeah, honestly, I just it's one of those like I'm focused on. I'm focused on the box. I would be worried that James Harden is actually playing himself into shape in front of her very eyes. He actually, yeah, he took it coast to coast a couple of times tonight, didn't have to stop for breath, hit the oxygen tank halfway. He had 31 points tonight, and we're getting to the point of the playoffs where the James Harden defenders are starting to use some stats

that actually like make sense that the the James Harden, Joel and Bede combo, these playoffs has been very, very dominant. So maybe Joel, maybe James Harden is going to have a little resurgence. He's another one, though. We should wait till like game six. No, game seven in Miami. Yep. If they go there a day early. That's what we're saying. That's it. That's done.

I would like to see it. It would be good for the NBA if the Sixers advanced the next round. Yeah, no disrespect, Jake, to your heat and your heat culture. No, but all disrespect, because that's all we've been doing. But kind of all disrespect at the same time, because just for the story lines, like Embiid Harden together in a series against like Hank was saying, the Celtics, that's going to be it's good for ratings and we ratings watchers. Yes. Yeah, that's fair.

I mean, the heat. So I have a start here at the last two games. They've missed 51 of the last 65 threes. Can that keep going? Well, you know what they say, give Duncan Robinson more looks. Yes, he hasn't played this. He has not played. One minute. Yeah. And he's been on this podcast and he's good luck and he's a good player.

And he's known for making threes. He's got 90 million dollars. You know what they say, though? It's a make or miss league, Jake. But you can't make or miss if you don't play. Yeah, I know. But I'm saying like as a team, it's a make or miss league. You start missing. Yeah, no, they went. It is what it is. It was bad. You live by the jump shot. You die by the jump shot.

Two out of three and live by the podcast. Bob Ryan was coaching. That wouldn't be a problem. That's true. He was a stretcher. Yeah, two, two, a lot of basketball. Where's your confidence at, Jake? After game one, it was at a nine after game two was at nine and a half. After game three, it was at like an eight winning the series. Now it's down to like a six and a half.

OK, so still confident. I think that he should still be favorite. I don't know what the Barstil Sportsbook odds, but I assume with two out of three at home in the in the March confidence meter, does it ever get to a 10? Because it should have been out of 10 after game two. Like you should have been out of to win 50 percent of the series. Yeah, I know. Yes, correct. But what's a 10?

When do you get to a 10? Like you like Jim Bayheim can successfully drive home. Jesus Christ. Fourth quarter, zero point, zero, zero. It's like the air. Fuck. You never actually get there. You know, you're not. I would think that a nerd like you would be a fan of the elemending.

Like, like, isn't that? Oh, it's cool because no, no, but the whole process behind that is that there's a certain score where the game is actually over. It's like pick up. Right. So there has to be a middle of the game. Yeah, like the whole I'm pretty sure the elemending started that like there's a point in a game where a team can't like statistically come back. And I might not understand this.

I don't probably not watch Timberwolves. Elemending is that the under four or five minute they just know. I know that, but I'm pretty sure maybe I made that up. Someone had that where they statistically are like, I think it was more so just to speed up, they don't do the free throw game at the end. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, so six. So let's shift.

Let's use this as a jumping off point for hockey. Yeah, the big matchup. Capitals, Panthers, two, two. Yeah, I heard a little rumbling. No, not to two. Oh, what is it? Two one, two one, two one. Two one. I heard some rumblings that there might be a PMT road trip with Jake and PFT, which would be very good content.

You guys going down to D.C. for what? Next Friday, if necessary, if necessary, if necessary. So my confidence is at a 10 right now, Jake as a Caps fan. I'm fully bought in now. Like I'm I'm I'm back to thinking that this could be our year. OV is skating like he hasn't skated in like two and a half years. He looks healthy. He's laying people out.

That was a shit pumping that we saw on Saturday. Just an absolute destruction of the Panthers. I'm I'm just like fully believing like there's a little bit of magic on this team. It might happen again. So I talked to Jake about it. I was like, Jake, would you want to go down to D.C. on Friday, if necessary, to that game to put a future in again? Maybe or maybe our team over at game time can help us out.

Yeah. Jake and I down the ice and then Jake has Jake has already agreed that the stakes on this series. You know, we did the whopping last time. If the capital is when Jake has to try heroin. Oh, nice. So black tar. Stakes are high. Subscribe to PMTV episode eight.

Do it for the W.L.S. Jake, I think you guys want you to see just with your eyes rolling to the back of your head. I think we should get you guys. I think game time should try to get you guys on the glass behind the hot girl seat. I don't know if you saw in Dallas. It's every every playoff. There's one of those. Yeah. I mean, it is.

It goes viral every playoff. Well, that was the seat where the fan in Las Vegas actually flashed Ovi and stuck her tits up against the glass. As you remember that as he was skating around for one for. Yeah. No, that was MLB. Bunk yourself. That was the series. Oh, I think she was. That was like I just remembered that one girl in Vegas

because we made a t-shirt out of it, right? Which you signed off on. I don't remember signing we put a t-shirt with tits. Yeah, with tits on the glass. We did. Yeah. Yes, because it's Ovi holding the cup. And then right behind him is this girl in a Las Vegas party dress with her tits on the glass.

I think she's like married to Jake Paul. Oh, no, she wasn't. That was just MLB one MLB. Yeah, OK, this is this has been history of tits at games. So I think you guys should what you should have to do is after the first period, whoever's losing should have to put on maybe either take off their shirt for the second period or maybe put on a stuff of bra and see if you can get noticed as a tits person.

Yes, the tits person, that would be hilarious. I haven't listened. I haven't. And then if the team flips, then the third period, whoever's losing has to do that. Whoever's losing has to do it. I haven't worn women's clothing in like three years. You did have that hot and hot streak. It was the one of Gruden as the old lady. It was it was like the second time in like a month where I I I didn't say anything.

But I I thought I was like, oh, this is a trend. No, you did say. Oh, I might have said something. You did say what's up. I got I got asked to be the bridesmaid in the day in a beer's wedding. Right. And so I had to wear a nice cocktail dress. Hats you. Hats you. It was classy. But yeah, I'm down for that, Jake. That would be fun. You want to go tarps off?

Who could be who can be the tits guy? You know, two months ago, I didn't think I'd be getting into bets that included heroin, dip and tits. But here we are. Yeah, those is the hat trick. I mean, I've only. OK, no heroin. I'll take the heroin off the table. We can say that Jake was about to say that the dip was the worst.

We'll save the heroine. I was about to say it's the only one of experience. I think like a bra. We're off for the second period. You know what? We have those. I think the Joey and Pat have the have the like fake tits that they walk around. You know, if you've seen those, Frank slapped them one day. I've seen those.

Whoever's losing has to put them on. I don't know. That would be very funny. I don't know if you can get into the arena with actual like fake breasts. It's twenty twenty two, bro. You just have to wear them in. Yeah, you just have to wear them in. I put your hair down, Jake. I'm down. Shave your face.

It's also been a while since I've been mistaken for a woman from behind. Oh, my God. Yeah. Oh, I like this. This would be good. This would be good content. Just we can just do the bra, just wear a bra on your skin and go shirtless. The goal is just to have someone see you guys and be like, hey, look, look at those tits. Yeah. As long as heroin.

It happens in every hockey. It happens every hockey playoffs when they're like, look at those tits. They never seen. It's it's something about seeing tits in the setting of sports where everyone's like, oh, my God, my world. Did you see those tits? Yeah. So what just happened over the last game all the time over the last five minutes

was a masterclass in part of my tech negotiations where we anchored so hard that now Jake's like, yeah, it's reasonable that I'll just have to be in a bra. As long as drugs or alcohol are involved. OK, so perfect. You can do them if you want to. The drugs. Yeah, right. Right. If it makes you feel comfortable getting in there and there's always the out of running onto the field of play to get out of the bet. Right.

Oh, I thought you were going to say the Panthers lose four to one. Not to. Yeah. Yeah. So you have to go on the ice and stick a Ukraine pin on Ovi's Jersey. And then Ovi has said clearly that he does not support the war. You have to throw. Let's not get it. Or I could bring a rat. Yeah, you have to throw a blue and yellow dyed rat on the on the ice at Ovi. Not that. No, we don't.

We don't attack other players that we're no. No, we don't attack their family. Then we're no better than Putin. No, we don't attack their family. We write when they go low. We go high, Jake. You have to touch Ovi's inside of his knee. No, that's too far.

It's way too far. All right, we'll figure it out. Either way, I think that's been awesome. OK. Oh, yeah, I mean, touch a man's knee. Yeah, no, you're right. Yeah. The playoffs have been awesome every night. The Bruins are our back. Hank, two, two. Cycling some pox. Yep. The I'm trying to think one other series.

There's a breakdown. There it is. That was a breakdown. Well, no, it's it. We took a red eye. I woke up. It was like the third period game was over. Time is does not exist right now. How do you live? They've honestly been so confusing to me so far this year

because you can't really count on a team being good because every series goes back and forth so hard that are blowouts both ways in almost every series. Yeah, the only I think I want to say the only series that is 3.0 is the avalanche, right? Yeah, 3.0 avalanche. So everything else has been ever since Taylor Luan's tweet. I'm not going to lie.

They they are the first three. Yeah, yeah. And they got smoked and then I kind of, you know, wrote them off a little bit. So maybe it's kind of good juju for me to just not pay attention. You forgot about home ice. Yeah. Means a lot. Means a lot. All right, so we'll be though.

Yeah, cycle the puck. Yeah, we'll have Whitney on soon, though, to this week down. I just got a text. He's here this week, Monday through Wednesday. We got a packed week. All right, we'll have Whitney on last rooms, though. So oh, geez. Well, you know, he's a workhorse.

He's not like Biz. Biz still complaining about that red eye. Biz was never Hank. Biz was also on TNT. Biz was on TNT. Cup checking guys. All right, let's do who's back. And then we'll get to Max Homa.

We'll talk some golf with him. And then we will have Dmitri Bival on with Billy football live from Las Vegas. If you've noticed that Billy's not here. He is, I basically told him, stay as long as you can in the Bival camp and get as much content, which means translation. He'll probably be there for two weeks and we'll get a block. He is, he did already start to make excuses.

That sounded like a Billy excuse, but it turns out it's real. He says that he's trapped in a sandstorm in Las Vegas. Right now, which I assumed, like anyone else would, that it has something to do with cocaine. Yeah, it's like there's just sand blowing around everywhere. It's legit. There's like a meteorological event happening in Vegas. So heaven forbid if Billy football just gets stuck out

and becomes somebody else's problem for the rest of his career. God forbid he has a legitimate excuse this time. Yes, he is. He is excused. All right, before we get to who's back. Core's light is always back. It's the hectic time of year.

There's playoffs every single night. You got weddings, graduation, spring sports coming up. You're busier than ever. And sometimes you need to take a second for yourself with an ice cold course light. There's only one beer that's literally made to chill. And that's core's light.

The mountains on the bottles and cans even turn blue when your beer is cold. That way you always know when it's time to chill. Mountain cold refreshment made to chill. Core's light is cold, loggered, cold filtered, cold package. It's literally made to chill. It's as crisp and refreshing as the Colorado Rockies. Perfect for a moment to unwind.

When I need to sit down, I'm actually looking forward to this weekend. No travel, sitting down on a Friday night, watching some playoff hockey, watching some playoff basketball, having an ice cold, ice cold. Core's light, the greatest beer ever created. When you need a second for yourself, reach for the beer that's made to chill, get core's light, deliver straight to your door

with Drizzly or Instacarp by going to core's light.com slash take, celebrate responsibly. Core's Brewing Company, Golden Colorado, core's light.com slash take. Check it out. It is the best beer of all time. We love core's light. All right, Hank, who's back?

I have a couple. Oh, first one, kind of a serious one. I've got a lot of tweets, a lot of messages this weekend. Yeah. Honestly, the past week and month, going back to this new role I have, content development, and what we're going to do with baseball at Barstool. So I'm excited to announce that as of today,

we have signed Jake Arietta. Let's go. He's our new co-worker. He was on the podcast a few weeks ago. People loved him. I was down in Austin with him last week. We shot an intro video. We shot the first podcast episode, which is out today.

You got a cupcake? Starting tonight. You got a cupcake. Also, no pressure. I was thinking about this. No pressure. But the best podcast in the world started from Hank flying to Austin,

someone flying from Chicago, and linking up for a first episode in Austin. That's true. That was the first episode of Pardon My Take, someday when we become a Jeopardy category. Actually, they'd cancel that before that. That was the only podcast ever recorded in Austin? No.

We went to South by Southwest. But yes, I was thinking about that. There's history. Yeah, I was down there. I was kind of going through, giving them some do's and don'ts of podcasting. I was like, I was down here six years ago kind of doing the same thing.

We were planning it out, planning out segments, doing the whole thing. So it's going to be two times a week. They're going to do interviews. Jake is the fucking man. Unbelievable. No dub, but we spent the day with them. We worked out.

We ate. It's like he just lives the ultimate athlete. You know how it is. Kind of like Whitney. He honestly reminds me of Whitney, where it's like he's got the pro athlete. He's got the money, but he just wants to talk ball. But he's just fucking, he's the man.

He golfs, chills, works out, deals with his kids, and just wants to talk baseball. Yeah, if you had told me in 2015 that Jake Ariad would be a co-worker, I'd be like, oh my god. He'd be like, I'm going to make the cubs? Yeah, holy shit. So make sure you go listen to that. Starting nine, they might change the name.

That's kind of TBD. But it's out now. Go listen, go support, go show some love. Are you saying get rid of the DH? I don't care about the DH. Didn't they get rid of it? Oh no, they added it in the National League. OK, I'm curious to know what your work out

with Jake Ariad was like. We filmed it. He was, we're doing like snatches. We're doing biceps. He's a beast. He is a tank. Did you keep up? I actually did.

I didn't do bad. You know, the F-45 has helped me out. Yeah, what day are you on? I've gone like 10, 15 times. I don't. 10 to 15 times. Oh, it's 45 times in the year. It's 45 minutes.

No, I've gone three or four days a week since four weeks ago. Hell yes. Six back summer. Six back summer. Let's go. No cap actually might happen. Nope. Yes.

No. Yes. No. It does smell like MF and cap in here. Just wait. Wait on it. I'll be waiting for that forever. My other who's back to the week.

I'll be waiting for Jenny to come back. Is tennis. I don't know how you didn't talk about this, big cat at the top of the show with all the sports things, everything that went on this week. Huge tennis upset. Never happens in tennis. What tournament?

The tennis tournament of the weekend. Oh, you can't even name it. Jake, Jake, Jake Lyne. Don't care. Carlos Alcaraz. Not Alcatraz, Alcaraz. 19-year-old beat Rafa, Djokovic, and Svarev, who apparently is the number two.

So he beat one, two, and three on his way to the championship. That's a pretty good weekend for a 19-year-old. Madrid. That's huge tennis culture. Rafa in Madrid? Come on. Imagine doing that. Is the Spanish open?

It's the 19-year-old. It's the Madrid open. What were the odds on him? I need to know in terms of horse racing how big of an underdog this kid was. I don't know, I got to look. Either way, beat one, two, and three. That doesn't happen in tennis.

It's worth noting Rafa, Djokovic, Svarev. I don't know who Svarev is, but Rafa and Djokovic. Number two. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I wasn't supposed to go on the show. Svarev? Alcaraz? Maybe.

Possibly. We've got a list of tennis people. I think they're like, do you want this person on? And then Jake was like, he's number two. And we're like, we probably should. Yeah, then we're like, wait, no, no. But then we hear Gene Bouchard like, yes. So tennis is back.

I mean, sports world was on fire because of this kid. It is. I like the name, though. Like, that's a very marketable name. Escape from Alcaraz. This kid might be the baby goat. Well, let's wait till LeBron says something. No, fuck LeBron.

He still hasn't done his Q&A. Yeah, that's true. That's never happened. I'm going to remind him every week. Still waiting on that Q&A, King. All right, is that it? That's it. All right.

PSD? I've got a couple of who's backs. Is that OK? Sure. All right, so my first who's back of the week is pointless NFL debates. Because this was going for like, all day Thursday, all day Friday.

I saw Trickle into the weekend a little bit. And it's people talking about Ryan Tannehill's comments regarding Malik Willis. Oh, yeah. And how they drafted Malik Willis. And they asked him like, hey, are you going to be mentoring Malik Willis in the NFL? And he was like, no, that's not really my job to do that.

I'm going to try to win the starting position. And if he learns from me watching me, then I guess that's a bonus. And then people are like, that's not good teammate. That's not a good teamwork mentality. And I've got a couple of things to say about this. First thing is he's right. It's not his job.

Correct. To teach another man how to take your job. I don't think there's a workplace in America where that's your expectation to train somebody to make you unemployed. Correct. My second thing, like looking through all the takes surrounding this, is do you really

want Ryan Tannehill to show Malik Willis everything there is to know about how to be like Ryan Tannehill? He seems like a decent teammate. Yeah, but like do you? Yeah, I would say that's where I stop. But if you want a quarterback that's going to mentor your young quarterback and show him everything that you know, I would prefer

that it would be a better quarterback than Ryan Tannehill. Correct. Correct. I also, what I don't understand is like we as a society, I mean, and rightfully so, when you talk about guys in sports who are excel and win championships and go to that extra level, like people laud Kobe and MJ and like the truce Tiger

and all these psychos that are so incredibly competitive all the time. And that's what everyone looks like. Holy fuck. That's what it takes to be great. And then Ryan Tannehill gives a pretty honest answer of like, yeah, I'm a competitive guy. I don't want someone to, I don't want to train someone

to take my job. And I was like, whoa, bad teammate. What? Yeah. How can those two things, like I don't understand that. He's being honest. He's not saying he's going to be mean to him. He's saying it's not his, it's the coach's job to coach him,

not Ryan Tannehill's job. Yeah, that's why we sabotage Jake at every turn. Yeah. Because we know he's coming for a gig. And we're like, not so fast. We're going to get you addicted to every substance. It'll never happen to you. Including tits.

Yeah, like Tom Brady has definitely had this exact same thought. Right. And everyone's like Tom Brady, and rightfully so. It's the greatest of all time because he's such a crazy competitor. Peyton Manning, do you know how many years? This is probably because people don't remember

like the Peyton Manning Colts. And maybe they were trying. Maybe this wasn't intentional. But they would always just put like someone who, if Peyton Manning got hurt, the season was officially over. That was the gym. And I'm counting Jim Sorgi, who I love. The gym's Sorgi years.

One of my favorite badgers. But like that, Peyton Manning wasn't like, oh yeah, I'm going to have a backup that I'm going to try to, you know, make sure that if I get hurt, like we're going to be OK. I think that's what the problem was in Chicago when you had Mike Glennon. Mike Glennon went out of his way to teach Mitch Trabisky

everything that he knew about how to be Mike Glennon. Right. And then Mitch goes to Buffalo. And then Josh Allen's like, here's how you become Josh Allen. Bad habits, yeah. And now Mitch is good again. He is. He's back.

My other who's back the week is Drake. Oh. Drake's everywhere. It's all the kids are talking about. Drake was seen in and around Miami for the F1 races. Which, by the way, are you going to talk about F1? I was. Oh, yeah.

Was he? Yeah, he was at like some parties and stuff. I don't think he went to the actual race. Oh, I think I saw him. You saw Drake? Well, not me. What do you say? I saw a video of him.

Did he recognize you? He definitely went to the race. I thought he was at Churchill Downs. Maybe he was at both. Oh, you know what? I think they're planes. That's what it was. That's the video I saw.

I think he was in Miami this week for the F1 events. And then he went to Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby. Wait, when was the F1 race? Sunday afternoon. Oh, so, yeah. Yeah, he was probably there. Maybe he went. He probably took a plane.

Yeah. Rich people. They can fool that sort of thing. They can go back and forth. So he also has. Realon. Yep, that's right. He also named Chack Dovechkin in one of his most recent songs,

which is really cool to see. And then last week on Instagram, when people were talking about the whole John Morant's dad, Carl Anthony Towns' dad thing, Drake slid into the comments and just said that he wanted to defend the players and the players' parents. Like, we don't need to be attacking them for this sort of thing. And then some guy on Instagram chirped back at him,

a guy named Cedric. And then Drake replied to him. And he said, guess what? I'm going to follow your wife on Instagram. Sounds like she needs a little more excitement in her life. He then followed this guy's wife and then DM'd her. And he said, I'm here for you, Ma. And then they went back and forth.

It turned into a big thing where this girl ended up writing a Reddit post of, like, today I fucked up because Drake followed me on Instagram and is kind of ruining my marriage right now. Because this guy is down so bad that he's afraid that Drake is actually going to take his wife. It's actually great. She also joined Twitter for one day, posted a picture,

one picture with her and her husband and one picture by herself and, like, got destroyed. And then was like, I didn't realize, like, this was Twitter was like this. Yeah, you can't just jump on it. You can't do that. You can't do that. You can't jump on it.

It just got absolutely cooked. It was like, wait a second. I have to delete this. But Drake's also setting a very dangerous precedent for any, like, cucks out there. Now you have a blueprint as to, like, how to get Drake to fuck your wife. You just have to talk shit to him.

They're like, come on, Drake, take the bait. Take the bait. Follow my wife. Yeah. Maybe, yeah, and be like, hey, you know what? Impregnate my wife. Yeah. And then I get money.

That's actually a good business plan. Yeah. It all started. Son, how were you conceived? Well, I was talking shit to Drake. It was great how we met. It was a crazy first round between the Grizzlies and the Timberwolves.

OK, my who's back is F1. Miami, Verstappen, Shadowed Hank. He had a Max Parley. Max Homa and Max Verstappen to win. Shout out to the AWL that tweeted at me. Crazy. Thoughts on a Max Parley. And I said, I love it.

The F1 was inside the mind of a genius right there. Yeah, Martin Brundle went viral because he thought he was interviewing Patrick Mahomes. It was actually Paolo Bencaro, which was very, very funny. Good to see Paolo was out there without a drink in his hand, I would say. Those are the best part of the races. I don't F1, great show, great fall, good, you know,

this league, social media drama. Races kind of take a nap during. But the beginning, they do that every race where he just runs around and just chirps people that are like having conversations and shit. It's so funny. I asked Peggy to try to get Martin Brundle on the show. So that would be great if you got him.

You kidding, we just get in the trust tree real quick? I can't get into F1. Well, here's the thing. And there was one pass. I root for Versapin. He passed him. That was the only. I took a nap.

I took a nap and I woke up and I was like, wait, Versapin's in the front and then that was it. I haven't even been able to keep up on the reality show, which is good. I've enjoyed the first. I think I watched the first season and a half of it. And I really liked it. It fell off.

There's all this other live sports on TV. I can't keep up with it. It doesn't hold my interest. I get the celebrity stuff around it. It's fun to talk about. I'm trying. I'm trying real hard to get into it. No, you're fine, because I think that there's been.

I like Daniel Ricardo. I root for Daniel Ricardo because I think he's a funny guy, but I don't care. I still like what he brings to the table. But as for the sport in general, I feel like there's a large percentage of people in America that got into it for a couple of months. And then they're like, oh yeah, the actual sport

isn't that exciting. Yeah, no. And it's also, there's a lot of people now on Twitter who are trying to prove who's the bigger F1 fan. I'm doing it because I just say push, push. And then I say, fuck, vet max for stopping. Those are basically time tweets, because that's my only take on the whole thing.

Or if Ferrari wins. But I agree, no one passes anyone. The Drive to Survive is awesome. I wish I could watch Drive to Survive every day. So I love that. But the actual races, I agree. It's like, it's kind of, I mean, I'm not a big NASCAR guy. You know what I mean?

For the same reason, I just can't sit down and watch a whole race. If they weren't on horses, that would be way better. And those are the fastest two minutes in sports. You get to, and guess what? Cars don't have personality. And then you get to bed it again. And you get to bed it again. And the problem is, I've tried to bet F1.

And it's like, I don't understand. You just bet one of the top two cars. And then it's just, will one of them pass? And then that's it. Yeah, I think what my issue is, I just don't like cars. I'm not a car guy. I've never been interested in like mechanics. I've never been interested in any sort of that.

If they were on horses, I would like it. If they were in planes, I would like it a lot better. If they were on motorcycles even, I would still like that a little bit less. Trains. Trains? Do train racing? Are you kidding me?

Do train racing would be fucking sick. Just build like one track. And then there's like eight trains that start off on their own little mini tracks. And then there's just a giant crash trying to get onto that one track. Yes, it all converges. The Yankees do that on the scoreboard, the subway race.

Oh, that's cool. Yeah, it's like the 400B. Elon Musk, instead of like flushing your money down the toilet trying to like protect free speech. Wait, we should do train racing. How about we just build train racing? We should do train racing. We should try to figure out the exact like same distance

and everyone takes a different train line in the New York City subways. That's kind of sick. Yeah, we should do that. Train races? Someone smarter than us figure out the map. Like it has to be. What about tandem bike racing?

No, stupid. It's raining on Friday. It's raining on Friday. It rained every Friday. It literally rained on Friday. It rained every Friday for a year. No, but if we could figure out a way if someone could get a map and be like,

here's the equidistance for every single different line. And we all started the exact same time. And there's some luck involved. Oh, there's a lot of luck. But there's also some skill. Jake, we'll do time trials on the way down to DC on Friday. We'll be on the same train, but it'll be time trials. We'll see who can sit at the front of the train.

The farthest part of the front. Maybe let the conductor get you in and put a little hat on me. Yeah, a little whistle. I started out saying they'll get Jake in there, but then I was like, you know what? I really just want to sit and conduct. Yeah, on his lap. Yeah.

Let me blow the horn. My other who's back is golf, Hank and I golfed. And one out of five down. I said I was going to golf five times this summer. I hate golf. It is so brutal. I think I would like it if I golfed all the time, but I don't have the time.

And it just sucks. I think we just got to get you in the simulator. You get your swing down, you got the putting down, you got the short game down. I was fucking, I was, I was, I was missed the putts. Big Cat, no joke. And three holes hit two, like gigantic putts. Like a 45 yard putt.

And then like two holes later hit like a 35. High stakes, too. Foot putt. I keep saying yard putt. No, yard, you were right. Yard, feet, whatever. But yeah. Foot. Golf is just every time I go out,

I have fun for a few holes. And then by like hole 12, I'm like, all right, I want to go home. But yeah, I, I usually have a good amount of fun in like the, yeah, after the second hole, I start to have a little bit of fun until I get tired. But there's no worse time in golf than being somebody who doesn't golf, who like never golfs,

and then going out there to the first tee when everyone can see you. Correct. As you're hitting off that tee. And people like laugh at you. Like, I'm sorry, I don't play this fucking sport all the time. And the weight of the world is on your shoulders when you're teeing off on the first tee.

We were all bad. None of us had played, but then we were playing for significant stakes, we had fun, but it was also extremely stressful. It was fun. I had, I had a great time. Big hat on the course was a delight. Yeah, I had, I that.

So Hank can attest to this. I think that my job is like a golfer. If I could just drive around in the cart and talk shit, I was great at talking shit. I was talking shit to other people. That one guy was really mad at me. We let someone play through on a part three and the guy hit it in the sand off his tee shot.

And I just yelled, I was like, it's in the sand. And he just like, like shook his head. And then when they came up to the green, I just pointed like, yep, you're in the sand over there. And he was so mad at me. It was so fucking good. Did you need that? No, I was, I was helping him out.

I was helping him find his ball. So yeah, golf, shit talking and golf. I'm a lead at everything else, putting in shit talking. If I could do those two things and have a great time. Let's all play together this summer. Sure. I said I'd play five times. I'm going to keep up to that. So that was one loser has to smoke crack cocaine.

Oh, my God. While standing on top of a train. Just for fun. All right, now you got me hooked. I mean, you're probably not going to lose. Yeah, that's true golf. Jake, we're really bad at golf. And Billy, I mean, Billy, Billy definitely

plays golf like a football player with a baseball bat. Yeah, he just. Billy unintentionally does dude perfect on the course. He like brings a tennis rack holes in the fucking fairway. OK, Jake, you're who's back in the list. It's our interviews, Max Oma and Dmitri Bival. My who's back of the week. The New York Mets.

So this happened late Thursday. We were poured early. Seven runs in the ninth inning. They won eight to seven on Thursday night. Just this could be the season to the first team to 20 wins. And that was one of the craziest comebacks I've seen in an individual baseball game. They do feel like they've got a horseshoe up their ass.

Like there's something different about this team, whereas they're winning. They've like reversed themselves because in years past, these are the exact same ways that Mets would find to lose games, like giving up seven runs in the ninth inning. That I feel like that's happened nine times over the last five years.

It's mostly just Frank, the tank, like complaining whenever I can imagine what would happen if the Mets blew it and what Frank would have shout out. Shout out. There's a Frank fact checker now. Well, Frank, who just who just screen grabs every one of his tweets because he deletes him now. And it's so funny.

Frankly, Frank, Frank would probably be happy in a weird way if they were that bad. See, I told you how bad that would be. I know ball. I don't know what we're going to do in this office if the Mets make the playoffs a deep run. That's seemingly great. They are a really good team.

Yes, yes. OK, good. Yeah, that was a great game. And they don't even have to grumble. Yeah, that's true. They're going to pick up one of the best free agent signings when he comes back for a week. Yeah, when he comes back.

OK, let's get to our interviews. We have Max Houma first, then Dmitri Bival with Billy football live from Vegas. Before we do that, Peter, you got a quick sponsor.

And now here is Wells Fargo Champion, Max Homa. Okay, we now welcome on our very good friend. He is now the champion of the Wells Fargo classic, the fifth major. As we all know, it is Max Homa. He just won, I don't know. I'm not gonna say the exact number over a mill, well over a mill, incredible round.

And I have to say, Max, let's start here. You did it again. A weekend where everyone was talking Derby, fights, NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, F1 in Miami. No one was watching golf and you did it again. It's kind of my M.O. I like it. I fly way, way, way under the radar.

I'm glad this tournament didn't sound like a video game. And yeah, I don't know, I'm sneaky. I saw, you know, you guys are doing all the fights, Canella fights. I saw the Derby yesterday. Everyone's very, very focused on other things other than the golf. And that's, I feel like when I'm the most powerful.

Would you say that you're more of a long shot than Rich Strike or about equal? It's definitely equal. I can't say I could run quite as clean a race as he did, but I'd like to say that a couple unknowns got it done on the weekend, which is nice to have a bond with such a gentleman, such as Rich Strike. Yes.

It was so perfect because as most of the tournaments that you're in, like Saturday comes around and people will start tweeting me being like, yo, your boy Max is doing well. I'm like, what? They're playing golf? Why would they play golf on Kentucky Derby Saturday? And then I woke up today, how much do you,

how much credit do I get for reminding you that the goal was to win the championship and not just make the cut? Cause I did tweet you and I was like, let's go win one today. Yeah, you were up there. You're right above the guys who tell me they bet money on me to win.

That kind of inspiration. And then the reminder, it's a big deal. Cause I'm always sitting there on Sunday mornings thinking, you know, what should I be doing today? Should I get 10? 10 sounds all right, 11. But when somebody tells me go out there and win it, it really, you know, I write it down.

I take part. It's like right above the guy that says I bet on you, but then right below the guy that says, get in the hole for your shot. Because that guy is actually helping you. Yeah. Yeah, those guys don't get enough credit cause they're literally willing to ball into the hole.

Every time they yell, the louder they yell, it just seems to go in so much more often. So we can, we should be thanking them a lot more for sure. So I think we should actually give a lot of this credit to another member of Pardon My Take that's not actually here right now. He's still in Las Vegas. That's Billy football.

Because Max texted me and Big Cat over the weekend. I think Friday night, please suspend Billy. These videos are fucking gross. And it was in relation to Billy's most recent snuff film that he tweeted out of animals attacking each other in the wild. I think this one was like a Komodo dragon eating the intestines out of a deer. It was disgusting, frankly.

Has no place on the internet. But I think you could say that that might have motivated you. That might have given you the killer instinct like Carl Anthony Towns. When he watches the gorilla fight video before a game, maybe Billy just needs to send you like personally. Noted killer. Animal, Carl Anthony Towns.

Animal attack videos because you're one for one on weekends that Billy does this. I wish with all of my heart, there was not a link to that. But unfortunately, there is. I definitely got some inspiration trying to be the Komodo dragon and not the deer. Because I'm real sad. But yeah, I just think Billy needs like a,

there needs to be like a headline like, hey, give this three seconds if you want to scroll. But it is just a, I'm going from like a funny Big Cat joke, a witty PFT pun straight into like a cheetah getting its neck thrown out by some boar. Like it's way too in your face. We've suspended him from posting all animal videos. But I think we need to make an exception.

Like at the PGA championship, I think he needs to tweet a gory animal video at you to get you in that killer. We should just text them. Because you're too nice. Yeah, what's texting to you? That's the thing, like you need that killer instinct. All right.

I mean, listen, I'll run it for a week. If I lose the PGA championship, I'm out. I'm out. What was going through your head when you almost blew it? Yeah. So many things. I knew that. What was it?

You were minus nine and Keegan Bradley was minus six. You bogeyed, he birdied. I was ready to like come into the office. I was like, oh, he's got it. We're good. And then yeah, you just almost choked. Well, I knew I was going to get blown up, especially because I knew you had money on it.

Because I knew you had money on it. And second, because everybody in the entire crowd was yelling that you had money on it. So I knew that if I lost this, not only would it be bad for me and my golf career would be really bad for my mentions via you, big cat. So that was also maybe that's where the credit should go is to you and all of your, I don't even know,

your henchmen who just like assault me if I make a bogey. Yeah, all right. So I got a positive thing for you. I got a stat for you. This one's shocking. Shocked me. I actually, I hit up the writer and I was like, dude, are you sure this can't be right?

Since the start of 2021, Maxoma has more worldwide wins than Rory, John Rom, Spieth, JT, Bryson, DJ, Xander, and Brooks. Yeah, buddy. You're hot. You are hot. How many times I've won for someone who never makes the cut? Yeah, I know it's your, well, you're hot right now. There's a stat that I saw and I'm a big golf stat guy.

You know that about me. I like to get like elbows deep in the metrics. In 2022, your strokes gained ball striking by season is 1.06, which is like the biggest leap of anybody in like the last 10 years over the course of one season. What's going on there? I don't want to point any fingers, but that's like, that's abnormal.

That's a huge, that's like when Brady Anderson hit 50 home runs. First off, very impressed. I always knew you were elbows deep in the golf statistics game, PFT. You seemed like you would love that. Yep. Second, I've always compared myself to Brady Anderson.

I feel like we are step-in-step the same guy. So I just wanted to kind of excel like that. But I don't know. Just been playing really good golf and enjoying it, I guess. And I got hit on the way now. So I got dad strength, which helps those stats I hear. Yeah, no. For sure, that was a big thing.

So you did your gender reveal, and it's a boy, right? You're going to have a boy. And then you gave an all-time perspective laced press conference at the end. You're like, it's Mother's Day. It's important for me this year. It's for my mom, for my wife, who's going to have a kid. That was really, you really hit every single note

that Jim Nance wanted to hear in that speech with all the. Do you think that you have too much perspective now? I'm close. I'm teeter in the line. I'm teeter in the line. I think I might need to cool it on the perspective. But yeah, sometimes it just kind of comes out. You can't really contain.

When you have all this perspective with a soon-to-be kid, it's like, how do you hold that in? Yeah, you can't. I was hoping, though, Mother's Day, we all love our moms. Moms are the best. Yeah, yeah, mom's the best. I love every mom.

Every mom. I do think, I do laugh, though. I was hoping that you would, because you have a baby on the way, I was hoping that you'd be like, yeah, my wife, she's a dog mom, because that always cracks me up when people are like, how do you Mother's Day to my wife who's a dog mom? Oh, on that, for the six years, we've had a kid.

But I get it. Guys, I get it. Are you mad at me? And but she likes it, and I'll do it. Yeah, so for your baby, are you adopting or breeding? Oh, man, I'm breeding this one, too. So I don't think it's the same as the dog. I don't think I'm killing.

You have a lot of people telling me I'm killing dogs in Augusta, Georgia. This is a frightening thought. But this one, yeah, we bred this one, felt right, but. Yeah, yeah, you know, it feels right. I can't answer that. Yeah, so I, we can cut this part, because you did tell me what you're going to name your son.

The more I think about it, LeBron Homa does not really, like it doesn't roll off the tongue. We can cut this part, though. Would you be able to live if there was a kid named LeBron Big Cat Homa? You had to be linking that forever. It'd be my mortal enemy. I'd actually, you know what?

It would make me live to 150, because I'd wake up every day to try to take that kid down. All right, so I'm putting yours under life. You're welcome. Yeah, we should probably talk about the elephant in the room. You didn't, I didn't see you use driver on any par threes this weekend. Do you think my strategy is too forward for golf?

What, you know, do you saw the video? I was thinking, because you mentioned, like we had the Kentucky Derby this weekend. We had all the basketball this weekend. We had the Dodgers win in two games. Like so much was going on this weekend in sports. And then you come out there and flex with a driver on part three. I just thought that if I did that, then it would just,

it would get so far to the rug. They might not even pay me. So I'll let you have that moment, because you owned it so well. And according to Dave Portnoy, you made two 30-yard putts. I saw how that is so far. Yeah, that was Hank actually said 30-yard putts. So he was giving me credit. I think I texted you before I went out on the round.

I was like, I'm golfing today, and you're like, good luck. And then I think it was maybe an hour and a half that I was just, I texted you back. Yeah, I was like, this fucking sucks. Golf is the worst. Yeah, welcome to hell, buddy. Is that four more rounds this summer you got to get in? Do you actually enjoy it?

Like when you're out there golfing, are you like, are you focused in? Because I remember when we talked to Brooks a couple years ago, he said that he blacked out between holes like five and 12, because it all kind of like blurs together. And a big tournament like this, are you just, are you actually like focused in on every hole? Or do you look up and you're like, oh, shit,

what happened to my round? I guess I'm almost done. Yeah, I fully focus on all the holes. Brooks has better than me and has been able to get away with that one. If I don't focus for a little bit, that's where it goes real sideways. Do I enjoy golf?

It really depends the day, but I think that's for everybody you guys included. I think some days you're like, oh, wow, this isn't so bad. And then some days, you know, you want to just quit. So I'm fully focused. And sometimes if I'm playing bad, that doesn't make it any better. But I try really hard.

Yeah, and I got to give credit to Hank, who was kind of pseudo swing coach for me, Caddy, mentor out on the course. His recipe for literally all my bad shots was like pouring more drinks and giving me more weed. So... That is really good, Caddy. Yeah.

That is great. Top tier, Caddy. He was. He was just like, here, smoke more, smoke more, smoke more. I don't hope because I kind of like beer pong. When you're drinking, you always tell people I'm so much better at this game drinking.

And I don't think you are, but you think you are. And that is like, that's big. There's a magic zone for sure. And I've seen like a medical study on this. Billy actually might have told me about it. But it's like you have, you reach the God mode when you're just buzzed

and you're at like that exact level of a 0.08 because you stop overthinking things. So if you can keep like at the PGA, I don't want to tell you, you know, you're like obviously as locked in as you've been in a long time. But if you like maintained a 0.08 blood alcohol content throughout the entire tournament,

I think that's when you're really going to be at your best. So my promise is I love so much going way past 0.08. So like, I'm either a zero or I'm above that. So it's tough. God mode sounds great, but then I think I need like six more. Are you like confident going to the PGA? You're like, you know what?

This is the year. This is the year. Well, first I'm going to make the cut. Yep. And then there are going to be a lot of people with expectations on you this year, Max. Yeah. I mean, it's in a state where my last name is half of that in Oklahoma,

which is that's going to be an enormous deal. I'm sure the man. That's a fun fact. Now we got a bet on this. Well, I bet on you every tournament. It doesn't pay off very well, except for days like today. Yeah. But yeah, that's a wild stat right there. But yeah, I'm going for three mid cuts and majors in a row,

which hasn't been done in a while for most people. So that's that's definitely step one. But yeah, I feel confident. I feel feel comfortable. Yeah, I'm excited. I know I played the course once. It's hard, which should be good for me. I've been playing good on hard golf courses lately.

So I mean, you never know. Can we ask like a real question, like a question you'd probably more likely get asked on foreplay or are any of these other like actual golf shows? What what changed about you in the last couple of years? Steroids. Besides the steroids. Um, man, what changed? I don't know. I was actually a real answer.

I was a really good college player. I won national championship my senior year on my converse championship. I was a good player and when I got on tour, I tried changing some things to try to be what I thought I needed to be. And it set me back a while and then it killed my confidence, which I already struggle with a bit.

And yeah, I've always had a good work ethic. And I just feel like I'm on the right track and I'm starting to believe in myself again. And just like marrying those two things has been fun because I kind of feel sounds dumb, like I know people all live like their high school and college glory days, but I just feel like I'm kind of back to that

where I go to tournaments expecting to win a bit more. And I don't know, I just feel like more comfortable. I don't feel I've always struggled with being a little bit insecure about, you know, who I'm playing with or whatever, but it's starting to get comfy like playing playing with Ricky and Jason Day and Rory McRoy and all these guys. Like it's I don't know, just feel like I'm coming into my own a bit and for about a year or year and a half, I've been feeling that.

So I'm just trying to let the golf golf kind of follow that lead. So should we be, should we stick with the positive stuff? Was that, did that help? I mean, I'm a little biased, but I really like the positive stuff. Okay, we'll do it. We'll do it. We'll do it. Positivity. It kills me. You're going to kill me early.

I'm going to die. You'll never win the Masters because I'll be dead and you won't have the positive guy tweeting at you. Yeah, I mean, all right, you know what? No, you guys, negativity on the weekend, positivity in the week. I think that's totally fine. I like that. We'll go positivity leading into the tournament

and then all that changes into killer Max mode, which starts on Friday. Yeah. When you watch the animal death video. Yeah. I think we can go like, we'll go super positive. I like to be in positive about you because I like you very, very much. And I, you know, I genuinely am rooting for you, especially when I'm betting on you, which is every single time.

But I, I think we will positive Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. We go sarcastically positive if you start sucking. Yeah. So I'm all in on that. Yeah. So you know, I I'm being mean, but you could read it as me being nice. See, I like that because, yeah, speaking of fucking perspective, I'm going to just be able to use my own and yeah. And decide if it's just true, genuine, truly genuine, or if it's, you know,

sarcasm and I'm going to go genuine a lot. But I like this seems like a fair compromise. Okay. Perfect. All right. So last question for me, because I know you got dinner. Thank you for joining us. It's crazy that you, you know, win a tournament the fifth major and then you hop on with us. We really, really appreciate it.

Roback question, RHO, BACK use code take 20% off for your first purchase. I saw our good friend, Scott van Pelt was looking for some credit because you hung out with him on Wednesday. Do you do you back up after that big controversy had you back up? Do you stand by him? What is the controversy? I mean, I don't know if we can say it on if we want our podcasts to be monetized on YouTube. We're not allowed to discuss exactly what he said.

But you saw like you saw the news last week, you saw trending. Yeah. OK, well, listen, I'm biased, Scott's the man, Stanford, Steve, also the man, they welcomed me into their home. We watched five TVs of games. Scott bought me a Dr. Pepper and a pop tart cherry, cherry flavored. So I will ride with SVP sugar.

Do you do you know how much Scott makes makes a year? Oh, it's a lot. Yeah. He bought you a pop tart. Well, that's all I asked for because I'm because the confidence issue. You probably were sitting there like they were probably. Scott was probably having a great like steak dinner and Max was like, I'll just go with the pop tart. He's got his caviar welcoming present that he gives everyone.

Yeah, I never I've never had I didn't really want to go straight to caviar pop. I like pop tarts. Pop tarts are good. Yeah, Scott didn't do anything. We just were joking that there's always that one person who's trending on Twitter. And it's like I don't I stand by this person like you can't cancel this person. And then you try to find the actual original tweet and it doesn't exist. So he is I hope he's uncancelable because he's actually a really nice guy.

He's the best. He is with the reason why we did that joke is he's the most likable person in the world. Yeah, he really is. Even when people may like bag him on Twitter, he'll like come back and make lists and I'll try to get better. It's like, man, you're just really cool. Yeah, well, except for the fact that he violated his journalistic ethics by buying you snacks as somebody that he covers.

We can talk about that at J School in the summertime. We'll talk about that later. Yeah, you big J meeting. Yeah, I'll have a word with him. Yeah. Yeah. But Max, thank you. We really do appreciate it, man. You are the best and enjoy your dinner and, you know, get drunk.

I will do that. Thank you guys for having me. Really appreciate you guys. You guys are the best. That's why I'm doing this. And also, please just continue to suspend Billy and he can send me one video. OK. All right, cool. Perfect.

And now here is Dmitri Bival. And now for something completely different.

OK, we now welcome on a very special guest is Dmitri Bival off of his huge win against Canelo Alvarez Saturday night in Las Vegas. He has joined with one of his long time members of his crew, Billy football. Best friend. Best friend, Billy football, Dmitri. I was there. I was on the I was on the call. It was incredible, incredible performance.

I want to talk about the actual fight, but I got to ask a very important question. First, how many quesadillas last night after the win? To be honest, no quesadillas. It was a burger, one burger. I don't have a time to eat two burgers or three. It was crazy, though. It was it was great. You you you boxed the perfect fight.

And I was, you know, like I said, I was sitting there and I was shocked with how great you were. That's no offense to you, but we're not used to seeing Canelo Alvarez struggle the way he did. Were you shocked by the scorecard at all at all? Because I thought you won the fight way more convincingly than the scorecard had. You know, of course, I felt that I won this fight. And when I was standing and heard a scorecard, one 15, one 13 on the one second,

I thought maybe it's not my victory one, but another second. I thought and still yes, yes, it's still there was one moment in. I think it was the fifth round when you got Canelo with a couple of nice shots, a couple of nice combinations, and he put his guard down and he asked you, he said, like, come on, bring it on, hit me again, keep hitting me. And he was almost challenging you to get off your game a little bit and to try to make you too aggressive. And you just kind of showed patience.

You like waited back and you did not play his game and come in for the strikes. What was going through your head at that moment? Because to me, I saw that and I was like, I think he's just alpha braining Canelo Alvarez right now because it looked like he was just giving himself up. He was like, hit me. Yeah, you know, strategy, strategy was not to be predictable. And if he asked me to punch him, I thought I don't want to do this because he wants to to meet, he wants me to do it.

And I thought, no, I don't want to do what you want to do. Yeah, there was many times throughout the fight, similar to what PFT just said, Canelo was on the ropes and essentially asking you to hit him like multiple rounds. And you, you were very like diligent. You did not go out of your game plan. Was the corner telling you that every round like, hey, he's trying to get you to go into the corners with him. He's trying to get you to hit him on those ropes.

Don't go for it. Fight your fight. And, you know, in my training camp, coach said me, don't be too close him when he on the ropes because he tried to counter punch you by right hand or left uppercut and be, be on, be focused and be correct and be careful. Yeah, you, yeah, it was exactly what you did. So a big question. How much of your win goes to Billy football?

How, how much? I think 30 percent. That's pretty good. No, he, he, he taught me through the ball, you know, like right hand. Yeah. Activate your shoulders. I like that. He was also posting some pretty aggressive videos, some animal attack videos over the weekend.

I don't know if you saw those, but those get me amped up when I watch Billy put a video up there of like an alligator, like suffocating a pig. It makes me want to fight. I actually, I actually have a bunch of questions. Um, yeah, yeah. What was, what was going through your head when Cal picked you up? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Like when he picked you up. Ah, I just thought, oh, he, he's a little bit nervous and he want to show me how he's strong, but it wasn't good for him because I see his little bit tired and he lost his, he, he weighs his power, you know, on this moment. Yeah. Yeah. No, he was, that was clear frustration from Canelo in that moment

that he wasn't able to, to, to get inside and do what he wanted to do. How, how are your biceps right now? Because you said afterwards, and I was watching it. Oh, wow. Let's see it. Let's put, put up on the camera. So if you didn't see the fight, uh, Canelo just hammered. Can you describe?

Yeah. He hammered Dmitri in the biceps all night and you said afterwards, he's like, he hit my arms. He never hit my head, but he was going at your arms for those at home who are listening. If you were to see his arm or like someone took a baseball bat and just hit him repeatedly in the arm with a baseball bat. He's got, you know, not only does he have bruises, it's probably going

to come out black and blue the next two days. It's going to be one of those ones where it's going to be there for a while. But it looks like a bone contusion. It's, it looks real bad from in person. Take a picture, Billy, and send it to Liam. So you can put it in the YouTube so people can see it. How, um, how, how nice does it feel? Like when your job is really cooking, Dmitri, like when you've got him at

arms length and you just know that like your job's landing, he can't figure out a way. How, how great does that feel as a fighter? Do you get confidence when your job is landing so effectively? Of course you feel confidence every time when you catch your opponent, when you throw on his hand, left hand or something else, or you give him a punch air, not you, just air or some block, you, you feel confidence every time. Yeah.

So going into the fight, uh, last night, if we rewound 24 hours ago, yesterday, um, and somebody had asked you how confident are you that you're going to win this fight? Were you at, where were you at? Were you like 80%, 90%, a hundred percent? I, you know, I try to believe, I try to believe in my victory on 100%. I tried, you know, if you don't do it, your training camp is, you can throw it on the trash, on the trash, believe, believe.

And I, I believe in myself. Yeah. So I got to give Billy credit. Billy was the only one, I think in the arena that wasn't part of your family or like fight camp that was rooting for you and believed in you. He told us on Friday that you were going to win. He said that you were going to win. Cause you, I think his reasoning was you cook a really good steak.

Um, so not really boxing reasons, but we laughed at him. So Billy was, he was, he was screaming, yelling for you. Like he was the only one in the crowd. It was 99.9% Canelo fans and then Billy going crazy for you. So he deserves credit. Yeah. So being ringside rooting for Boval was kind of dicey because all the Mexican, the whole crowd was Mexican.

And I'm very glad that, uh, Boval doesn't know what Pendejo means in Spanish because that's the only thing I was hearing. And I was the whole time I was wondering, I wonder if, like, do you know Spanish? No, nothing. That's good. That probably actually helped. It probably did help. Yeah.

It means champion. They were saying, let's go champion. I hate you champion. Yeah. You're calling, just calling you champ. They help me. Yeah. So what was it like, uh, after the fight, what was your post fight

celebration? How crazy was it last night? Um, I just gave couple interviews and came in my room and a lot of people came to me, friends, uh, some, some guys from WBA, from Grand, uh, gloves for me. Why you didn't work here? Oh, well, I, so no, what happened was I was texting Taylor, by the way, shout out Taylor, that's your strength and conditioning coach. That was probably one of the main read, like huge reasons why he was so conditioned

late in the fight. Shout out Taylor. But, uh, basically, uh, you spent all night responding to text messages and like being just an absolute great guy, just responding to all the support he got. And I was disappointed because I was told Taylor was like, we might go out, but you know, like, I'll text you when we go out. So I was sort of just waiting around, but I should have, I was trying to get here. We might go play blackjack.

Yeah. Yeah. You're going to celebrate tonight, Dmitri, with Billy. Not tonight. Tonight I should go to Los Angeles. Yeah. Oh, there we go. Take Billy with you.

Just take Billy with you. If you want to go home, literally just take, he goes with you. Play blackjack with my friends. Who is the, uh, the most, did you get any text messages from famous people, from any celebrities that wanted to congratulate you? Um, from triple G. Oh, yeah.

So you, you said it after you, you ruined Eddie's fight in September. Um, it was just a little bit joke, you know, it was funny, but I would assume you like, you'll accept a re, you want to rematch with Canelo, right? Like if he, if he wants to rematch, yeah, yeah, we can talk about it. No problem. If I take this fight, why not rematch? We can talk about, yeah, I mean, I, I honestly think it would go the same way. The way that you fight.

Um, we know Eddie very well now. Well, he's got to pay you more. Let's get you more money. Yeah. Well, why not? Why not? Of course. More quesadillas.

More burgers. Yeah. Three burgers, four burgers. What was crazy was the day before the fight. Um, there was talks about Canelo fighting Usik at 201. Did you hear about that? Yeah. Maybe someone, maybe someone asked him, would you like to fight Usik and

maybe Joshua? How do you think I would go? Like that's like ridiculous. But ridiculous question, a ridiculous answer, I think. Well, I, I got to give you credit to meet you because there's kind of like an, an old saying in boxing, like, you know, a great, great small guy can beat a good big guy and Canelo is a great small guy. That means you're a great big guy because you, you, you know what I mean?

Like that, that elevates you to the next level because you, you showed it on Saturday night that you're not, it's hard to go up and wait class and you, you outclassed, you know, Canelo on Saturday night in his house. The show welcome this, you know, the question, what the question? Yeah, there was no real question. I was just saying, you're awesome. You say you're very good. Yeah, I was just saying, you're very good in talking about weight classes.

Like, I don't know if Canelo can go up when he can't, you know what I mean? He went up to you and you were better than him. Yeah, but, but I, I respect him a lot for Canelo because full weight classes. He, he was the champion. It's, it's great. Yeah, you know, you're right. Canelo deserves all the credit in the world because he fights any weight class and he, he takes on everyone.

So you're right on that, but you were, you were fantastic. Yeah, I'm still kind of in awe. What are you going to say, Billy? Quick question. Which was the belt you wore on him? Did you win a belt? No, no, no. Well, I saw you walk into the ring with one belt and he walked out with two.

Oh, that was just the one that was up to grabs. It just was my belt and the WBA made the new belt for, for this fight. Billy can make you a belt. Yeah. Make it the Billy belt. You're the Billy champion and take care of him. He's now your problem. Yeah.

So take wherever you want to go with him. If you want a guy just to spar with just a punch in the face to get ready for your next fight, that's your guy. Yes. You know, I got a belt. Yeah, he does. Yeah, take his belt. He does.

Did Billy ever show you his fight, Dmitri? He should fight against the. Jake Paul. I know that's your good fight. All right. I got one last question. Roback question. Use promo code take for 20% off your first purchase.

RHOBACK.com. Be honest. Now that you've won, Dmitri, Canelo's entrance was really fucking cool. Right? Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, like mine. We can go there and wait when he went up, when he went up with the fireworks and everything, I was like, Holy fuck, this is awesome.

Hey, it's great. And it's it's fun and it's it gives me more. More enjoy to the fight, you know. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Well, congratulations, man. Yeah, Billy, do you have any other last questions? I think he's got to say. Yeah, I got one last question.

Boval, I think you need to, for, you know, the Mexican fans, you got to say the true meaning of Cinco de Mayo after getting it wrong. What's Cinco de Mayo? Yeah, yeah, of course. How I know what what is Cinco de Mayo. Yeah, you know, I asked this one Mexican guy, I don't want to say his name because he will be. He will be mad on me and he said this is independent day.

But one guy from Mexican television asked me what is the Cinco de Mayo? I asked it's independent day, but he said no, this is war. This is a battle when the Mexican army, one French army. Yeah, we had to make that correction because he unfortunately said on media, you know, we're big on corrections, holding ourselves accountable. You know what I'm saying? Yes. So good job. Now we know. Yes. Now we know. Now we know.

All right, well, Dimitri, thank you. Congrats again. And honestly, I was going to say take care of Billy, but we don't care. Just he's he is your problem. He's your toy. Yeah. Thank you. Make sure you translate that last part. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's OK.

He's OK. All right. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. I'll meet you. Make it back. See you guys. Thanks, Billy. Thanks, Billy. Good job, Billy. I don't know if I'm getting out of here because there's a sandstorm. Yeah, that's fine.

Like, I'm literally serious. This isn't a St. Patrick's. Oh, wow, that actually is crazy. Sandstorm. I literally just be well behaved. Like, OK, I literally can't be big. We started too high of a key.

Yes. So this will be my first time reading it through too. So I really don't know what we're getting into. But is that an excuse?

No. OK. Why would it be an excuse? I don't know if you scrub a word. I mean, if I curse a lot of pressure, that's why you're reading it verbatim. Oh, yeah, that's a reporting on the post. You're not exposed. Yep, you're right. You're right.

I get what you're saying. So the title is what is Tifu T.I.F. Today I fucked up. OK. What does it mean? Today I fucked up. Oh, nice. He's reading it. Yeah.

By spraying Afrin nasal spray up my penis. Oh, OK. So I know you all are. It's a main line. I noticed you giggled a little with the penis word there. It's just it's just anatomy. We've all got. I've taken steps on the show from things I used to not say.

We've all got penises. It's just a matter of fact. My son learned that. He's always speedy. He watches me in the shower. He goes, oh, look, your penis. Yep. There it is.

So I know you all are confused as to why. Oh, it's so small. Where is it? He says, why is mine bigger? Fuck, shut up. So I know you all are confused as to why I do that. So I'm going to explain what my logic was, then I'll explain why it didn't work.

I thought that since it clears up your nose so well. You don't even need to explain this logic. We got it. I read it again. Like as we know, as former or not former, as recovering addicts from Afrin, I've wanted to inject it in every office. Since it clears up your nose so well,

maybe it would clear up the penis in a similar way. OK, this is my first question. It's like, what is he trying to clear up in his dick? Oh, chlamydia, clop. Yeah, does he have it? Stones, your stone guy. Oh, there you go. Yeah, he's probably trying to dissolve some of them kidney stones.

Sometimes you get like a weird itch in your dick. That's also probably an SCD. As in, why didn't the inside of the urethra, so cum could shoot out with less resistance? Got it. OK, he was trying to shoot ropes. Yeah, he was getting he was going. He was basically the water pressure in a hotel.

He wanted to hack it. He's going for velocity. He's basically it's like a spider attack, you know, for a base for a pitcher. As far as things that like guys care about, that girls absolutely do not care about go being like, yeah, I just really would like to shoot bigger loads. I'm going to just take a wild guess

that this guy might watch too much porn. Yeah, probably. Because I don't think. OK, we got it. I don't think any woman is out there and she's like, you know what? He's he's a nice guy. He's funny. He's got a stable life. He's got a great job and he loves me and he treats me like a queen.

But I just wish that I could choke on his ropes and they just they're just too too thin. His ropes are like his his every single rope is off speed. I just want to fastball once. I want I want 99 on the black once. I want silly string. Basically, I wanted to make some epic cum shots. Yeah, yeah. So that's yeah.

All right, turns out doesn't work that way at all. I found out later how Afrin works while doing some research on it. After the fact, this is just a guy's being dude's is dudes rock when you get is that read the directions after you've fucked up the installation of everything was. And this is the best example of because like I'm not going to read the direction until after I put this item into my penis. Yes. When you get sick, what happens is the blood vessels

in the lining of your nose get inflamed. They get bigger. Afrin works as a vasoconstrictor that means it constricts your blood vessels, makes them smaller, which is why it clears your nose up so well. Now, here's how a male male erection works. Blood flows into your penis, engorging your blood vessels, which is what causes the erection. Your penis is full of blood.

Now, do you see where I'm going with this? What do you think would happen if I vasoconstricted or vasoconstricted my penis? Me and my girl guessing that you probably just can't get a boner. I don't know. Yeah. Me and my girlfriend were going to have sex. I went into the bathroom and sprayed the nasal spray up my dick. I was going to try to surprise my girlfriend with some super intense and strong cum shots. Hey, happy Mother's Day.

I, you know, like a lot of places were filled for brunch, but I got you something better. I'm going to shoot the biggest load of my life. What ended up happening instead was I couldn't get hard. Well, no surprise there. My blood vessels were constricted from the affrin. My girlfriend is a very sweet person and a very understanding person. I apologize. I think, I think you're an idiot and she knows that. That's one of those situations like my girlfriend is so understanding.

No, no, no. She knows she's dating a fucking Labrador retriever. I apologize to her for not being able to get hard. Then she said it was fine and asked me if everything is okay. If I'm anxious or nervous about anything, I decided to tell her the truth. I sprayed affrin nasal spray up my penis. I said before that she's an understanding person and she is, but this was enough to perplex her. She just looked at me with the most confused look on her face.

She was like, what the fuck, bro? I explained how I wanted to come further. She just burst out laughing and was like, that's not how that works. She proceeded to tease me more about it throughout the night. I don't think I'm going to live this one down. Don't use nasal spraying your dick guys and girls too. I don't imagine that it would do anything good in the vagina either. TLDR, sprayed affrin nasal spray into my penis.

Could it get hard? Girlfriend was perplexed as to why I tried that to begin with. Didn't have sex and she's still teasing me about it. My ego is now as small as my penis. Yeah, it's it's tough. She's Roman. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. There should be.

Yeah, there should be a new product for Roman, just called Roman loads. Yeah, Roman, Roman ropes, Roman ropes. Yeah, Jesus Christ. It sounds like she is understanding, but this is this might be one of those things that's so embarrassing. Like girls obviously talk about their sex lives with other girls. She's probably not going to bring this one up to her friends, because at that point that then would require

a conversation back to her about like, why are you dating this guy? Yeah, you know what you need to do is you need to like her friends and your friends, you need to convince your friends to do it so then they can all be like our. We have her idiots. Yeah, we have a pack. Yeah, like, oh, it must be like a tick tock trend or something. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, just yeah.

That's what you should say is just like it's a tick tock trend. And I didn't know that it was going to be bad. Yeah. And then she'll be like, oh, you're an idiot for fall for believing everything you see on tick tock. Yeah, you can do any. You can say anything is a tick tock trend. And next thing you know, you're ripping a man's jeans off of his ass. Yeah, it's just it works like that.

It's a great life hack. So yeah, just don't don't spray nasal spray into any other orifice, except for your nose. That's not even that dangerous. That's right. You see on the show. Yeah. Years, it sounds like could work. Years could work. Yeah. Like if you get off a long flight and your ears haven't popped yet

and I don't have any other remedies, then nasal spray is probably my first go to. Hey, can I take a red eye? No big deal. Thank you for your service. Thank you for thanking us. I also like how this guy didn't even consider to himself like, wait, what is the nasal spray going to do once it goes into my girlfriend's vagina? Yeah, that was not. You know, that's never a thought.

She'll probably squirt. He's not. He doesn't sound like someone who's like who's thinking about his significant other ever. All right. OK, numbers going for two in a row. Jake, has anyone gotten two in a row? I don't believe so. No, I did. But it was off. All right.

Remember, I did it on whatever I think I did. Short porch. Short porch in here. Then we did PMT is that official. Yeah, it was an unofficial two in a row. Twenty five, twenty two. I'm going to go with eighty seven. Hey, seven, seven. Seven, seven.

Fifty nine. Huh, Hank, would you guess? There's seven. OK, love you guys. The human body can drink so much water that they don't have to piss. All certain types of rats love to chug beers. I'm talking away. I don't know what to say.

I'm saying that you wait. Today's another day. I'm calling you. Shut me away. I'll be coming for your love. I'll be coming for your love. I'll be coming for your love. I'll be coming for your love.

I'll be coming for your love. I'll be coming for your love. I'll be coming for your love. I'll be coming for your love. I'll be coming for your love. Something needless to say. Someone said, it's about be some little way.

Slept, learning my life is OK. Say after me. Life's no better to be safe than starving. Drink on me, drink on me Drink on me, drink on me Drink on me, drink on me You're gonna drink on me Oh, drink on me, stay

It's an awful, just to claim that the reason why You're all the things I've got to remember You're shining on me I'll be coming for you anyway Drink on me, drink on me Drink on me, drink on me Drink on me, drink on me Drink on me, drink on me

Drink on me, drink on me Drink on me, drink on me Take on me
