We went all, it was great to talk hockey with him, but also we got in the mind of his career and having to fight a bunch of guys, very fun interview, get excited for that.
Starting point is 00:00:35 We have Dak Prescott getting paid, we have Hot Seat Cool Throne, we have Guys on Chicks, it is Wednesday, and we're brought to you by our friends at 3C, 3C is the industry leader in Delta HTHC products, all products are formulated by a biochemist made in the U.S. with USA Grown Hemp, 3C's Delta 8 is a federally legal version of THC and is a more functional alternative to marijuana.

Starting point is 00:02:15 run down to electric avenue. Welcome to part of my tape presented by 3CHI.com, that's the number 3CHI.com, use code PARDON at check out for 5% off your order. Today is Wednesday, March 10th and DACPRESS.com got paid, pay DAC, big time paid. Good for him, monster paid, very good for him and it's actually like maybe the best contract that's ever been signed. For him or for the Cowboys? For a player.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Right, it is front loaded, he's getting like $60 million this year. $66 million, the minute he signs, $75 million this year, $95 million guaranteed against injury and then like $126 million that's guaranteed otherwise, like they basically have to cut him to not, so it's like $126 out of the $160 million is guaranteed and it's four years. What do you think happens when you sign your contract and you're due $66 million, how long after you sign on the dotted line are you allowed to be like, where's my money? Does that direct deposit hit immediately? Do they give you a check?
Starting point is 00:03:29 I think it does, I think it hits immediately and then you just have the money. What if you sign it and then you have to wait like a week and a half for payday? No, I think it comes right away, I think you press a button and it's just like Jerry Jones has a button on his desk, direct deposit. Just like the Mr. Burns thing where it opens up the floor except you fall into the Scrooge McDuck vault of just gold coins. What do you even buy right away? If I'm Dak, probably a mouthpiece.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Probably a personality. Yeah, probably a bodyguard and go to Panama City Beach and try to make up for some past mistakes. Right, some wrongs. Yeah, exactly. No, but it's good for him. He bet on himself. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:04:07 I always root for any guy who bets on himself. Wait, wait, what was the personality thing? His color is gray. When he came. One of our best interview, we are, we have talked about doing a worst of, the first worst of of all time on a podcast. I think we should do it this year. I, listen, I think Dak Prescott's a nice guy.
Starting point is 00:04:27 There are certain people who come on the podcast who are, it's clearly a PR hit and they're just here to, you know, pitch their product, Aaron Donald, you know, like, and then move on. And we were like, I think one of the first questions you asked him was, uh, what's the deal with your name? Did you know that you have a porn star's name? Yeah. And he was like, uh, I'm actually just here to talk about yogurt.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Yeah. Get back to that. Well, and, and we also had some history. The Dak, to his credit, had no idea about when we were supposed to interview him at the Super Bowl in Minnesota. That's right. And he stood us up and we spent like an hour trying to get into this building and then he stood us up.
Starting point is 00:05:05 But either way, hell hath no fury like a podcast or scored. I'm happy for Dak Prescott. He's a great player. He bet on himself. He deserves the money. It's awesome for him. I don't understand. Like, so there is obviously an argument to be made.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Like if you don't think you have the guy, uh, paying him a lot of money will screw you up, but the Cowboys are, they don't win anyway. And they also, if you want to point to one thing they screwed up, it's probably Ezekiel Lee. It's contract, right? Yeah. Like Dak Prescott dessert. That's the going rate for quarterbacks right now.
Starting point is 00:05:36 You want to have the argument, where does he rank in the top 10 or top 15? That's fine. But that's the going rate for a quarterback that is above average. And that's Dak Prescott. Yeah. I think at the time with Ezekiel Lee at Dak was, I don't remember exactly where Dak was in his contract, but it felt like the jury was still out. You didn't know how good Dak was going to be.
Starting point is 00:05:54 So I can kind of, I can argue this both ways. So I guess that's what I'm going to do. Uh, the first opinion, let's pick sides. Well, well, I could see that. Here's the thing. I see it both ways. And the way that I see that it's good is depending on how I'm currently defining the MVP award so that it best suits my current argument, you could make the argument that Dak is an
Starting point is 00:06:14 MVP guy because you saw what happened when he went out last year. And I asked the team, the team just stunk like Andy Dalton is probably an average backup. So, uh, he, Dak goes out and he comes in. The team just goes to absolute shit. So the take, I wonder, I'm sure this has been made, but as first as Chris Bessard says, the first that I know of, I'm making this take, is Dak the first injury that actually got him paid because that injury, what you're right, like Andy Dalton, the Cowboys were not the same.
Starting point is 00:06:43 They have a ton of weapons around them. They drafted CD lamb. They have a Mari Cooper. They have a Zika Elliott. They couldn't do anything. And you'd have to think like, did they watch that and say, wow, Dak Prescott's probably better than we thought. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:59 I think it in a way did get him paid. The only other guy I can think of is Drew Brees, maybe. Yeah. When his shoulder got hurt and then he became a free agent and he kind of had his pick of the litter. Granted, he wasn't making as much money as he probably would have, but like becoming a free agent turned out to be a good thing for Drew Brees at the time. But with Dak, it's like, yeah, maybe that's the blueprint, like break your leg early in
Starting point is 00:07:19 the season when you're about to become a free agent. And then that way you, uh, you limit your risk of having a catastrophic injury later on. And so I think there's a thing that happens in the collective conscience of like injuries where when a guy gets injured, you're like, oh my God, this could be it for him. Like that, you know, when you franchise tag a guy, it sucks because he could be injured and that could be it. Injuries aren't like that anymore.
Starting point is 00:07:43 If Alex Smith can come back from his leg almost falling off, like the injuries aren't the same as they were 30 years ago. Like it's not, uh, who is it? Mickey Mantle who stepped on a sprinkler and that was it. That doesn't happen anymore. You know what you don't hear anymore? You never hear a guy being like, I blew my knee out. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Like your dad, your dad's friends will be like, yeah, it's pretty good. Then I blew my knee out or I threw my arm out and then that, that's as far as medical science went at that point. It's like, okay, his leg doesn't exist anymore with Dak. It became very clear last year and I'm always going to be a little bit of a hater on Dak just because he's a division guy and I don't want to see him succeed as much as some other people do. But I think if we're doing quarterback tears, which you have to do, by the way, tune into
Starting point is 00:08:23 Billy's bracket of draftable quarterback. Oh, you're actually going to do it? Uh, yeah. We had a little discussion about that earlier today. Nice. Uh, but if we're doing tears, I would say that Dak is a, he's a great, very good quarterback. So he's like the best, very good quarterback. Give me a number.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Give me the tier number. He's the best, very good quarterback. But give me the, give me the, I, I, that is how I usually rank. I, well, I rank sucks and good. Right. And so I, I actually think he's the worst, good quarterback. Oh, I, I actually think that he's an average, good quarterback. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:54 I put him a little bit high. I would put him at like number seven, number eight. Okay. Yeah. That's right around where my cutoff is though. Okay. Remember the, the Matt Stafford line was always my good sucky quarterback. So yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:04 I think he's the, he's a great, very good quarterback. And this is the going rate for a free agent, great, very good quarterback. And next up is, well, Aaron Rodgers wants a, a recommitment from the Green Bay Packers. Josh Allen. Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are going to get paid a ton of money. Wait. When we first had Josh Allen on, did we say an extra? Now, we're going to have a big, big change for providing services, pumping up his draft
Starting point is 00:09:25 stock. We get, what was it? Two and a half percent of his lifetime earnings. You know what? Let's just say two percent. Two percent. Let's be nice about it. We'll cut a little off.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Okay. We'll give the, we'll give the point 5% to charity. He's going to pay, he's, yeah. The, the next quarterbacks, it's got to be, it's got to be pretty awesome when Dak Press got gets paid and you're one of the next guys. Yeah. And you're like, Oh, this is nice. It keeps going up and up and up.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Aaron Rodgers is probably already pissed off about his, his contract. Yeah. He wants the recommitment. So you can look at it that way, but then I was thinking, you can also look at it from a different perspective. And that is what you get when you have your owner being Jerry Jones. So the extension, you okay? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:06 You got the wrong hole? Wrong hole. Sometimes it's wrong hole. You goofed it? Wrong hole. Yeah. Which hole you want to put it in? So with Jerry Jones, anytime he, I think his perspective on this was that this is like
Starting point is 00:10:23 Jerry's opportunity to pat himself on the back for drafting a good quarterback that no one liked. So in a way, like Jerry is proving himself correct by being like this guy that I found was the fourth round. Nobody else wanted. He was like the eighth or ninth graded guy from all the scouting services. I took a chance on him. I saw something in that kid.
Starting point is 00:10:43 I drafted him. Look at me. I was so right. I was being paid the most guaranteed money of any quarterback to ever play. It's like Obama putting the Medal of Honor on Joe Biden. He's like look what a great vice president I picked. Yeah. Look, he's a Medal of Honor award winner.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Well more than anything, it's just this is, you see every team has this issue where it's if you have a quarterback that is a little bit better than good, you're going to have to pay him. And there's no other, I went through this when the Bears were paying Jay Cutler and everyone was like, well, you can't do that. Well, yeah, you have to. Like you either have to, you can't. When you have a quarterback that is a little bit better than average or a little bit better
Starting point is 00:11:22 than good. I'll say Dak is better than good. You have to pay him. You can't. Like it was never even an option in my head. Yeah. Ben Denucci is not the guy that's going to take you to the Super Bowl. As much as I hate to say it, it's not in the cards.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Dak is, I mean, you could win a Super Bowl with Dak. Does he fall into that category for you? Is he a confetti quarterback? Confetti quarterback. That's the question. I can picture it. I don't know. Because it's not even on Dak.
Starting point is 00:11:46 It's more just that I just don't trust that Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones will do what's right for the rest of the roster. Right. Mike Payne. Mike McCarthy, not a confetti coach. I know he's won a Super Bowl, but this iteration of Mike McCarthy, he's a confetti kick coach. Depends on how many watermelons. Will he be smashing watermelons next year?
Starting point is 00:12:07 Yeah. This is the reason I would love to play for Jerry Jones, because he would do stuff like pay you a shitload of money if it made him feel good. Also, let's be real, Jerry's getting to the end of his line here. He's probably in the mindset of, you can't take it with you. I can either spend all this money on my players and go balls to the wall and really try to get one more Super Bowl, or I can just give it to my idiot son and have him fuck everything up for me.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Yeah. Jerry's giving his money away. Jerry's spending like a sailor on shore leave. Well, I don't know if that's, do you think that that's really how like, I think they're just going to, they're going to spend to the salary cap over here? I think Jerry wants, he wasn't going to save any of this money anyway. The Saints would beg to differ. You can do, the salary cap doesn't exist in the NFL.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Right. No, I'm saying he was going to spend no matter what. Right. He's very, he's got more than enough money. If Jerry Jones likes you and you play on the Cowboys, there's no job in America that has better job security besides maybe being an employee at Barstool Sports where nobody gets fired. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:04 That is true. Billy's still here. He's still very much in this room right now. But yeah, good for that. Nice to Billy. I'm glad for Dak as a Washington football team fan. I'm not super excited because he's definitely the best quarterback in the division. There I said it.
Starting point is 00:13:19 I know that's controversial. Although Joe Judge did give a, no, his Gettleman gave a ringing endorsement of Daniel Jones today and he said, you know, not all, not everyone is great at their job after two years. But Daniels are good. But Daniels are good. That's a fact. I'm still, I'm still a believer in Daniel Jones. I'm still buying stock.
Starting point is 00:13:38 It's cheap. It's very cheap right now. But yeah, this was going to happen. I don't know. I guess I'm just never really shut like, I think the Dax deal was better than I expected just by the fact that it's four years. Like I'd rather have Dak Prescott's deal than Patrick Mahomes. Oh, yeah, 500 million.
Starting point is 00:13:55 That's a lot of money though. It is. But it's all, it's not all guaranteed. It's 10 years. Like Dak Prescott, if he's good for these next four years, can get paid a ton of money again when the salary cap goes back up, when TV deals, when, you know, like old, he basically is giving himself another shot at it, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Like, maybe Patrick Mahomes ends up with more money career wise than Dak Prescott probably will. But Dak Prescott at least has another shot at it. No state income tax in Texas too. That's also, like we joke about the after taxes thing and you're right, nobody likes the after taxes guy, but you always have to throw that in there just to, just to sprinkle it into the conversation. The state income tax guy, that's the smart version of the after taxes guy because it
Starting point is 00:14:37 actually does make a big difference if you play in Texas. Yes. I don't know how they figure that out in terms of how many games you play on the road, how many games you play at home. Yeah, you have to, I think you do have to pay it on the road. On the road games. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:50 So that actually does make a difference in the 17 game season. Yes, absolutely. Definitely year to year. Yeah. Although when you have that much money, I don't even know if you, do you even see it? You probably just, I actually, if you had, if you had 66 million, I would ask for them to like print out a receipt, like a bank, like almost a ATM receipt and be like, just show that to me.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Oh my God. Every time I was at the ATM, if I was withdrawing like $40, do you want receipt? Absolutely. Yes. And then I'd leave it very delicately, like on top of the trash cans that people can leave it. Let someone see this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:24 All right. Other news, Myers Leonard. Whoops. Uh-oh. Jimbo of the century. Yikes. I, this is, I'm actually shocked. You know what?
Starting point is 00:15:34 I'm shocked that this doesn't happen more often. What did he do, big cat? So he used, he dropped a K-bomb, a slur, a Jewish slur on a live stream of Warzone. Yep. And yeah, it was, it was actually crazy because you can, you see it happen. You see him almost see like, oh, that was probably wrong. And then like five minutes later, he takes a phone call and then gets off the stream. He's like, I got to go.
Starting point is 00:16:02 My wife needs me. No, dude, you just, you just fucked yourself over. Yeah. It was, it was a hard K-bomb too. Very hard. There was a wind up for it. He took like a breath. It's, I liken it to, this is a deep cut, but the line that Uncle, Uncle Cracker delivers
Starting point is 00:16:16 in Cowboy by Kid Rock, the smash hit, where he takes a big breath and goes, but now I'm just blunt. Like he, he winded up for that. He was ready to go. And if I could put it in, in Warzone terms, if he was dropping bombs, he wasn't using an RPG. He was using a SIGNA. There you go.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Hank will get that. He, he uses that word. That came out. It was Papa John asks Papa John has spent 20 months trying to get the N word out of his vocabulary. Way to take my hot seat, big guy. Well, I mean, it's appropriate for this, is it not? It's very similar.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Like Myers Leonard will need 20 months to get the K word out of his lingo because that definitely was effortless. Yes. It's not something that if you use the K word, then you use it all the time. It's not something that you, that you sprinkle into a conversation occasionally. That wasn't the first time he was like, Oh, I'm going to try this new word out on Warzone. Right. He probably says it while he's eating breakfast.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Yeah. It's a very. Passing that salt. Yeah. K word. It's a very casual thing for him. Obviously. I don't, I actually don't know anybody that you, I don't think I've ever been in a room
Starting point is 00:17:18 when somebody's dropped a K bomb. Have you been in a room when someone dropped the N bomb? Yes. Ooh. Yes, I have. Several times. By yourself? No, no.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Oh, okay. Definitely not. Definitely not. But you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know anybody that uses that. It's weird that it was so casual for him to just like bring it up. Yeah. No, he uses it very often.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Very often. It's something that he's happy to use. The general thumb, if you're going to insult any sort of nationality or any sort of ethnic group, just stick to us Italians, Irish, Scandinavians. I don't know if you can even do that anymore though. The real question is just, you know, what style is going to go for his apology video? Yeah. Him and his waist.
Starting point is 00:17:59 No tap. No tap. 100% no tap. I don't know, but like when you're, you put a little yamacan as dog, he, like my dog Jewish. He considers himself a streamer, so I think he's going to have to do some type of like, you know, apology YouTube video, like coming clean. And that's, that's really the question.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Nine reasons why you shouldn't say the K bomb. Yeah. And then the YouTube thumbnail is going to be him with like his hands on his cheeks, man. I think his mouth open wide. Do you think he's going to go the route? Like I didn't even realize anyone was watching, which doesn't actually, isn't an apology because that's really what, that's the, the crazy thing about like 2021 and people streaming
Starting point is 00:18:34 and, and they, they let their guard down because they're streaming and they don't realize that people are watching. And if you play video games for, I don't know, if you play his video games, it's all star breaks. So he's playing video games for six hours a day. He then slips into the conversational words that he uses in private. Yeah. Well, he's going to have to do something maybe with the team.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Oh, he'd actually, you know what he's going to do? He's absolutely going to put out like an Instagram post that has his words, like a notes app, but with a picture in the background, the words will be like cursive and it'll be like really fancily done photoshopped, but he's going to have to do something with the team because correct me if I'm wrong, but there are probably a few Jewish people who are Miami Heat fans. Yes. I would say so.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Can you confirm? Yeah. There's probably Jewish people who are fans of every team. There's probably one in this room. Yeah. Oh yeah. What are you, I mean, he's got to go, but he's also got to stay because every word you say, every word you say in a hot mic matters.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Yeah. If he had said this fucking care, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't help too that he's got a very memorable name because not a lot of people named Myers. No. Really? And the hair. And the hair doesn't help at all. I didn't recognize him.
Starting point is 00:19:45 All right, so. Leonard Myers was definitely tons of Leonard Myers. Yeah. So he's definitely going to, he's going to dye his hair back to brown. Has to. You can't continue on. It's already been done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:56 That's step one. He's probably going to have his wife next to him if he does the video because she was involved in it too when she called him. I don't think that was his, I don't think that was his wife who called him. But he's going to be like, I think, I think you, wait, you thought that was his wife? That's what he said, right? Yeah. But that wasn't his wife.
Starting point is 00:20:09 That was his age. You just fucked your career. He's going to have to continue with that lie. And so he'll like have his wife in the background. It's going to be, the Myers Leonard Apology Tour is going to be one for the, for the record books. Maybe a, was it a long, there's a deep drive into left field. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:25 He's going to have to do something like that. Go to Puerto Rico for summer. Maybe you can put someone in the back of his jersey or something. We can say Billy. You know those trucks near masses, queer garden, got to like get bot mitzvah today. Yeah. Is he going to convert? You think so?
Starting point is 00:20:41 That would be hilarious. That would be very hilarious. But probably wouldn't happen. Yeah. Probably not. I'd say no. Not going to happen. PR like little PR 101 cover.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Yeah. Okay. Here's what you have to do. Get circumcised. On air. On air. Yeah. On your stream.
Starting point is 00:20:58 On your stream. Yeah. So no other way. Figured it out. Well, how has he been playing this year? Poorly. Poorly. I don't think he's played a lot.
Starting point is 00:21:06 I looked up his stats because I saw he averaged six points a game for his career. But this year he's down to like three points a game. Yeah. He hasn't been playing for a while too. I think he's been injured. Oh. Yeah. Cmiers.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Take it easy. I mean, I don't feel bad for him. Again, if it had felt like that was a stretch for him to say that, but he really did, it did feel like he said that a lot. That's the thing is like, I don't understand how it could be a stretch to like accent. Oops. That one slipped. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Yeah. Who amongst us hasn't done that? Anything else? We've got conference tournaments. The Barstool Sportsbook app will be live in Illinois starting on Thursday at noon. So, get ready for that. Can't bet on Illinois in Illinois, but can bet everything else. Jake, did you have any conference tournament like teams that you thought were going to
Starting point is 00:21:50 win? I think the popular pick this week is going to be Yukon in the Big East. Yeah. I love the Yukon's back. They're the three seed Villanova lost their best player unfortunately last week, Conor Gillespie. Did you know that there was another Archie Diakono? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:04 That's crazy. They are the plumlies of Villanova. I was fully out. It's like the Duncan's of Vermont. I don't know if you tweeted this or you earned it. Who knows that? I don't know what that is. You retweeted something?
Starting point is 00:22:12 What the fuck? Uh-huh. If you retweeted something like this, but I always thought his name was Archie Diakono. Yeah, I know. His name's Ryan. Yeah. That's crazy. Just get ready.
Starting point is 00:22:22 If Yukon goes on a run, James Bookknights, the guy to look out for, Kemba Walker, she's going to appear, and Creighton's been dealing with some off-the-court issues too with the coach. Oh, what happened there? He's back. They reinstated him. I'm not going to get into that. He went on a war zone live stream.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Yeah, he used the PLA and TAA. So you have the one seed without their best player. You have the two seed dealing with some issues in Yukon. Yeah. Coach Hurley. Okay. I mean, I love Danny Hurley. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:48 AOC is going to show out. Danny. Oh. Always does well at MSG. That's true. Yeah. It's her hometown. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:56 I love Danny Hurley. Duke is currently playing with Nobine, the ACC. Yeah. By the time this podcast is out, their season could be over. Probably not. B.C. is awful. Probably not. I'll just say that if Duke does lose tonight, Coach Kay should consider letting himself
Starting point is 00:23:10 on fire like a Buddhist monk on the sideline. He should retire. He has won four games this year and they fired their coach two weeks ago. He should retire then. If Coach Kay loses this game, Hank, retire? No. Come on. Hank, you have a, I believe, a 10-2 lead right now.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Let's go. What's that? Most things lean basketball. The game's on. Oh, it's on. I think it's more than that. Turn in front of us. I hope it's more than that.
Starting point is 00:23:32 10-6. Excuse me. Okay. Let him get hot for a run. This to me is, this week is how you separate the casuals from the real fans. You should get hype for conference championship week. I think conference championship week oftentimes is better than the actual tournament. Like I liked it.
Starting point is 00:23:49 I liked the tournament more because it's just everything about it, but there are more games on Thursday and Friday, a conference tournament week than there are in the tournament. Plus, I think it helps that you know that it's not going to be the last game of the season. Yeah. It's wall-to-wall action. You know that it's the best. It's not final.
Starting point is 00:24:05 It's not like the end of the road, whereas the NCAA tournament that's always looming in the back of your head. Like, well, I'm not going to see that team anymore. And you also get the scrub teams that have no, like the only way they get in the tournament is they somehow finish the run. Yeah. Thursday. Which Duke will do.
Starting point is 00:24:19 The Jerry McNamara. Yeah. Thursday, Friday, Saturday are those three days and they're the best. They're the fucking best. This is the best time of year. This is March. We have John Rostin on, on Monday. Very excited about that.
Starting point is 00:24:30 They should have. And March is on Wednesday. They should have to get people ready for this fucking ridiculous NCAA tournament. Yeah. You're mad. You're big mad, Hank. They should have done it this weekend as well. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:24:42 Like they should have done it Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Oh, to get our bodies ready for it. I'd break it to Hank that the sweet 16 is Saturday and Sunday. And he was very upset. No, Monday. It's Monday, Tuesday. It's the, it's the Monday, Tuesday. That's upsetting.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Right. But there's no, there's no Thursday, Friday. Right. On the second week. That's awful. I had to reschedule my vasectomy again this year. Yeah. It's, it's, they are making us quit more cold turkey than they ever have going Monday, full
Starting point is 00:25:11 action to Tuesday. No action. Yeah. People are going to, it's going to be crazy. It's going to be bad. Jonesing. This is when we need Mac football, spring Mac football. Well, we just draw a game on a Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Yeah. They should, they should put some FCS games during the week. CBI. Is the CBI happening this year? I love those tournaments. I don't think so. Those tournaments are crazy. The NIT is happening with 16 teams in Dallas.
Starting point is 00:25:33 I think I told the story, but I, I, the moment I realized that I, I probably am not cut out for the real world was, I was, I was taking a GMAT class to take the GMAT for business school. Uh huh. And I did so poorly on it because all I was doing was sitting in the back of the class following the CBI and the NIT. It was like Oregon State was CBI still up in the air. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:58 And I was like, you know what? It really is infirmary. Which one was the tournament that had the golden pineapple? Is it the CIT? Yeah. Yeah. That was the one that was even worse than the CBI, right? And the, in the championship is two games, right?
Starting point is 00:26:08 Isn't it? They play, it's something so weird and awesome. So yeah, that's the best time of the year. Way, way back in the day, right when text message technology first started to come out. This is back in like 2001, 2002. I signed up for text alerts for, it was like the upset alert from the CBS Sports Minute, whatever it was called. And they would text me in class if there was an NCAA tournament upset in progress.
Starting point is 00:26:33 And by the time I would get the text, I would turn on the game and the game would have been over for five minutes already. Yeah. CBI, I count very low. They toned a beach floor to seven hours ago. Hell yes. All right. So I'll be betting on that.
Starting point is 00:26:44 That will be great. Yeah. Those are, I have to like look up the year in the game. It was, I think it was Oregon State, can't remember who they were playing and it was so bad that I was following that. So yeah, that was a lesson, you know. Yeah. If you're going to be bad at something, be so good at being bad at it that you make a
Starting point is 00:27:02 career out of it. Right. And also just realize that you don't have the aptitude or the ability to take tests anymore. Yeah. Or be a serious person, be a real human being in this world. I learned that and that was it. We're anti-standardized tests on this podcast.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Dude, could you imagine taking a standardized test right now? No. No, I don't want to. I should probably do that. Do a Scantron. We should probably take like a, not even because you know, some people are like, oh, we did the fantasy football, like ACT or SAT. No, I think we should take, like at some point this summer, we should take like a ninth grade.
Starting point is 00:27:37 This is a big future. History class. Test. The SSAT. You know, something that's so, that's the Myers Leonard version. Like a eighth grade math class. Test. SSAT.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Billy just got it. Yeah. They'd make you take it in high school. Okay. And the Myers Leonard version. Is that the one where now if you get like a 1600, that's really just an F? That's the FJT. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:01 They changed all the scores. They inflate. It's basically like when we did our three-point contest and made every three-point or a thousand points and we have the record now. Or like what football does when you score one point. Yeah. Seven. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:15 All right. Let's get to our hot seat cool throne. It is brought to you by our friends at Coors Light. Coors Light is the one to chill. Everyone's tweeting me. They're Coors Light. The mountains were blue this weekend. Love to see it.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Coors Light is the best beer out there. It's the chillest beer. It's the coldest beer. Coors Light Seltzer also. You can save some rivers. But Coors Light, it is perfect time. March Madness, best time of the year. Bars are back open.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Grab a Coors Light. Get those mountains nice and blue. Chill out. You can, you know, maybe it's Friday of the tournament. You want to watch it home. Sit on your couch. Chill out. The best beer to chill out is Coors Light.
Starting point is 00:28:52 It is mountain cold. Mountain cold just always sounds great. Mountain cold is the best beer out there. Mountains on the bottles and cans even turn blue when your beer is cold. Make sure you tweet me those blue mountains. I will retweet them. I love seeing those. It made me thirsty once.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Yeah. No, I had one right away. I feel like we should do a contest where the person with the bluest mountains is doing something. Yeah. We'll send you a case of Coors Light. Billy will send you a case of Coors Light. So go get Coors Light and Coors Light Seltzer delivered straight to your door with Drizzly
Starting point is 00:29:21 or Instacart. Tweet us, uh, hashtag Coors PMT lottery with a picture of your Coors Light, a Coors Seltzer and a lottery ball number for a chance to win a PMT Coors jumpsuit, which are awesome. We have the new jumpsuits. So celebrate responsibly Coors Brewing Company, Golden Colorado and Fort Worth, Texas. Thank you to Coors Light. All right. Hot Seed Cool Throw in Hank.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Uh, my hot seeds Alabama and Georgia. Ooh. Why? Damn. Uh, Rush Props, classic coach from two days, two days, uh, there's leaked audio of him basically like snitching and saying exactly, you know, how much Georgia and Alabama are playing, paying players. That Nick Saban's money guy is a Bayer, Bryant Junior, who owns a bank in Alabama.
Starting point is 00:30:08 And so whenever he needs money, he goes through Bayer and that's how they like launder and like get the money to pay the players. That to me sounds like bad operational security. If you're Nick Saban and you have to have like a secret bag man, you got to do better than Bayer Bryant Junior who owns his own bank. Yeah. That's a little too on the list. Although that is kind of untouchable right in Alabama, right?
Starting point is 00:30:27 Like no one's going to go after that. And like how do you not going to find a jury in Birmingham, right? Yeah. And if you own a bank, it must be super easy to like, you know, move money around. I'm going to go ahead and now I do think everyone, you know, people find out that Alabama and Georgia are cheating and paying players like what it's probably not even a real bank. It's probably just, just a building that has a lot of cash in it. And then it looks like a bank, but when you drive through, you get a special card from
Starting point is 00:30:51 Nick Saban that you put in the machine like, here you go, here's your payment. Everything I thought is a lie. I know they paid Georgia players 90 to 150 K to sign with them. Unbelievable. This is also the coach. By the way, if you don't remember two days, he invited his mistress to a high school game with his wife in attendance as well on reality television. This guy's a gem.
Starting point is 00:31:15 I mean, that's, he also got fired for something. I think. Yeah. No, his, his, his rap. He's got a rap. He's absolutely crazy. So there is a chance that they know this is like, who knows. Way for him to stay in the, in the headlines.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Yeah. But yeah, that was just heartbreaking stuff. My entire, you know, worldview on college football has changed. And then my cool throne, I have a couple. First one is Avatar movie. Oh, it's coming out like 2032. No. So well, there is like 10, they're supposed to make like 10 sequels.
Starting point is 00:31:39 This is a crazy move by James Cameron though. He's re-releasing Avatar in China on Friday and attempt to reclaim the highest grossing movie ever. So if they just make 7.4 million more dollars, then they get to, you know, up themselves over Avengers end game, which apparently you can do. That's cheating. Remember when people would get, people got like depressed after Avatar because they wasn't the real world.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Oh yeah. I remember that. They wanted to be in that world. That was the most blatant like publicity stunt ever. Yeah. And then the leak is like people are killing themselves because the world's not Avatar. Yeah. Cause there can't be like these tall blue people running around and sucking off a tree of life.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Can't James Cameron just like rent out a movie theater and play Avatar and sell one ticket for 7.5 million dollars to himself? That would be smart. Yeah. That's what I would do. Yeah. Although he probably would make more than that. Releasing it in China, right?
Starting point is 00:32:30 Yeah. Probably. Right. Then my other cool throne is cocaine bears. Hmm. So this is a tweet. I don't follow. Not earlier.
Starting point is 00:32:38 I just, you know, just a movie, a must see, I'm already slapping a must see on it. So Elizabeth Banks is to direct a bear centric thriller, Cocaine Bear for Universal. The film is based on true events from 1985, 175 pound bear, accidentally consumed over 70 pounds of cocaine that was dropped from a plane by a smuggler. The exact details of the film are under wraps. Are you sure that this is about cocaine? Because there's an actual story that don't ask me how I got this far down into the rabbit hole.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Or you can say it's for work now. There's a bear in Washington, the state of Washington, that drank like 70 beers that were left behind at a campsite. And the name of the, it drank certain types of beer and didn't drink like the Bush Light. The only beer that it drank was called Cocaine. Corse Light. Cocaine. Oh.
Starting point is 00:33:28 So it looks like cocaine. But this is a different bear. Maybe that's a sequel. No, this bear is real. I talked about this bear on my first deep dive. Oh. Yeah, it's real bear. So what happened?
Starting point is 00:33:39 A drug smuggler. No, but what happened to the bear? I heard he had a great time. Well he got very high, then he got very low. He just listened to some EDM and talked a lot. He died. Oh. Just grinded his teeth down.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Yeah. At one point. Wait, would they like give it a more, you know, better ending? Couldn't get a dick hard. It'd also be a great 3430 name for the Sam Hurd story. Yeah, that's true. Although, yeah, I mean, he was, it was a lot of cocaine that he got busted for. I think it was probably more than 70 pounds.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Yeah, it was a significant amount, a significant amount. Is that it? That's it. Okay. I mean, it too. Okay. Well, you only had the one hot seat. Right.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Yeah. It was asymmetrical. I guess my hot seat's still racism because Papa John is, he got his 18 month chip for not saying the n-word for the last year. 20 month. Oh, 20 months. 20 months. Good for him.
Starting point is 00:34:32 He's got one of those apps that you use to track your sobriety, where you're like, just pushes a button. He's like, didn't say it today. This weekend must have been tough. Like Papa John watching the All Star game, if he could get through that, you can do anything Papa John. Yeah. And yeah, he's like, he's one of the final bosses where like, we will know that racism
Starting point is 00:34:51 is cured officially when Papa John gets his three year chip. He always looks so oily. Oh, he is. He's just, he looks like he uses olive oil for his hair product. Yeah. I kind of appreciate that. He's his own pizza. I think, did I tell you about the time I met him at the Super Bowl?
Starting point is 00:35:07 This was back in San Francisco, I think, no, it was in Arizona. So it was before I worked for Barstool. But I met him and I took a picture next to him and he was just standing next to me breathing. And it's the most off-putting thing ever to stand next to Papa John. He breathes like this. I'm gonna do an impression. Yeah, that's how he just walks around all the time. He's got like cheesy bread stuck in his throat.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Yeah. It was very Jose Canseco-like. Yeah. Do you think they'll serve him? Before he took a dive. Yeah. I was gonna make a joke, but it's too borderline. So I won't say it.
Starting point is 00:35:42 But it must be racist if like your three most famous products as an industry. Wait, what was the joke? I would... It was more borderline than saying that Papa John couldn't watch the NBA All-Star game? Yeah, I was gonna say... And putting it in everyone's head? No, well, a little bit. Yeah, because I was gonna say...
Starting point is 00:35:54 That was pretty online. He doesn't... Probably on the subs that he sells only offers oil and not the second condiment. That's how much he is willing to stay away from that word at all costs. Got it. Got it. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Anyways, my other hot seat is Top Shot. Top Shot's on the hot seat. There's other reasons why it's on the hot seat that I don't really understand. All I know is my career as a stock is... We're nearing the moon. We're in lunar orbit right now. But Rob Gronkowski is making his own NFTs. Nice.
Starting point is 00:36:25 So is Buddha Ben. Yeah, that's true. Shout out Buddha Ben. This is how you know that the bubble has not yet begun to burst when Rob Gronkowski gets in as an early adopter. He's probably just selling his memories. Yeah. He's probably just like, I'll sell you this memory I have of a sweet night that I had
Starting point is 00:36:40 in Scottsdale. He's probably just selling the number 69. Like if you NFT 69, right? Can't you sell it? Yeah. That's actually... That's a great idea. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:50 I think that's what he's doing. Probably. Someone will buy it. I will. You got another one? No. Just those two hot seats. And then my cool throne is chivalry.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Chivalry is on the cool throne because Burger King in the United Kingdom had a nice message for everybody on International Women's Day, which was yesterday. They tweeted out a woman's place is in the kitchen. And then they followed it up with reasons why we need to encourage more women to become chefs because they're underrepresented apparently at the top of the line chef levels. But it was a choice. It was an interesting choice to start out International Women's Day. They were doing the right thing.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Shout out to Burger King. Shout out to King. Would like to see a whole row of family of burgers built around it eventually, but you just got the King for now and that's fine. But it was one of those things where it's like, you know what they were going for and you know that they had like a series of meetings leading up until that week and everybody was bought in. They're like, this is actually a great idea.
Starting point is 00:37:45 It's going to get a lot of attention. See, I like to imagine it was just a rogue person who was like, fuck international women's day and then they were like, quick, we got to think fast. What's our follow up? And that's what they did. That would actually be brilliant. Yeah, it was a rogue intern who's like, I just want to tweet my terrible thoughts on International Women's Day.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Yeah, that would that would be the best handling of a PR crisis like that that you could ever match. And now if that's even if that didn't happen because they got blowback because I think they probably could have done it a different way, they should just say that's what happened. Yes. And just go with that because then they get all the credit in the world for spending some fast. I like that.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Or just take my advice and build an entire royal family around it. So it's not just the king. Give him like an old, give him an old stodgy queen that hates the new woke Papa John. Hmm. There it is. That's what I would like to say. Yeah. I mean, the king and queen or there is no King Billy.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Can you stop reading the mic real quick? The you it's not your it's not Billy's fault people. It actually is not Billy's. He's got a deviated. Buckled. Buckled septum. But I was just noticing it. So I said, but the yeah, the king and or not the king, but Phillip, whatever his name
Starting point is 00:38:58 is, I still think that if you fuck the queen, you're the king. That's I totally agree. It feels like they're getting dragged every single. But you know what? What happens is we wake up because of time zones. You miss all the, you know, English, like England reacted to it. There was all the good morning Britain clips, but by the time we woke up, it was already gone.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Yeah. It's like, I hate that when I wake up in the morning, everybody's pissed off at Pierce Morgan for something. Like what did he do? Yeah. Oh, seven hours ago. Okay. Well, that's 10 years ago.
Starting point is 00:39:30 No one cares anymore. Right. Exactly. All right. My hot seat is Peter King because he said in his whatever his columns called now that the bears are screwed in the quarterback department, barring a miracle. I'm just saying, Peter, you're fucking screwed, dude, because I still got interest running on your burgers.
Starting point is 00:39:48 So just want to remind you. We should just call him the hamburger on this podcast. Yeah. And we should just keep it a tally of how much money he owes me. You know what? Imagine if we had used that money for Bitcoin, be through the roof at it, add it to the tab. I heard that inflation was the thing that was happening. It is.
Starting point is 00:40:06 It is happening. So we're sure we better get paid. My cool throne is anyone who was desperate for more Manning content because Eli Manning now has a show on ESPN plus two. Great. What's it called? Eli's world. Eli's place.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Oh. I don't know. It's Eli's. Yeah. I mean, Peyton's place is a thing. Cooper has his thing on Fox. Now Eli has a show. It's great.
Starting point is 00:40:33 I love this. All the Mannings. Dude, one Manning just go full in and become like a commentator on Monday Night Football. Yeah. They're kind of teasing us a little bit, aren't they? It's bullshit. I've seen some of the Peyton Manning stuff and he's pretty good. No, he's funny.
Starting point is 00:40:47 The Peyton's place of stuff is funny. I've laughed at it and this is going to make me sound stupid, but I usually learn something and it makes me feel good after watching. I want more Peyton Manning. So he's doing the right thing, I guess, keeping us at arm's length. And now Eli's like, hey, can I get my own show too? Like, he's going to spin off, essentially. We're doing a spin off for Eli where he's going to walk us through all his fake memorabilia
Starting point is 00:41:07 that he sells. Be like, this is going to appreciate in value because I've got my son throwing my helmets down the stairs every four hours. But yeah, we need more Manning stuff. So we have it. Billy. My house was the SEC, the Royal Family, but now the Bears. Kyle Long will be returning to the NFL.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Not the Bears though. But that's why they're on the hot seat because he doesn't want to go back to them. Well, yeah. That's fair. So I'm just on the hot seat. I don't even think you're on the hot seat. I think that's actually just, it's smart for Kyle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Do not want to be on the Bears. It's very smart and it is, it's not a good look for the Bears. I mean, what, what, what has been a good look? It's not, I don't think it's, I don't think it's a good or bad look. It's just the Bears. Yeah. It's like Ron going to the box. I don't think it's necessarily a bad look, but it's just, it's just, no, he, he, but
Starting point is 00:41:59 Kyle's been very vocal. He does not, he's not a fan of Matt Nagy. Kyle's not a fan of Matt Nagy. He's been very, very clear about that. I see. So it was never even in like, it was, it was never even in my, uh, the realm of possibilities for him to go back to the Bears. I think Kyle has firmly entered the realm of, he's a guy that we're rooting for to get
Starting point is 00:42:17 a ring no matter what team he ends up on. Correct. Or another Pro Bowl. Add another Pro Bowl to it. Okay. Um, my cool throne is GameStop, GameStop is rallying again, getting back up there and pretty, going pretty crazy. And uh, yeah, I found that most of my investing success comes just from stocks that I forget
Starting point is 00:42:37 to sell. Mm hmm. So I forgot to sell GameStop. I've got diamond strong hands. These things are rock hard and, uh, it shot up what in the last week, 70%, 100%, something like that. Just keep going. All I know is that between that and my doge, I am, again, lunar orbit.
Starting point is 00:42:54 It's pretty sick. Yeah. Let us know when we're on the moon. Cool throne. Mother nature. A hawk killed one of my hens. That is all. You want to talk about that?
Starting point is 00:43:02 No. Now, is this a situation similar to your frog where we have to ask what? No, I woke up this morning and a hawk. You're like, oh, my chicken got fucked to death. What a crazy night that was. It's not allowed. Why are there all these feathers in my bed? I woke up this morning and there's a hawk that uses the same kind of condoms I do.
Starting point is 00:43:24 A hawk swooped down and got one of my hens. Did you watch it? Did your hens crawl under your ass for warmth, like Christopher? Cosette? No. Billy, did you sit down? I'm serious. I'm serious.
Starting point is 00:43:35 Are you okay? Did you see it happen? No. I didn't see it happen. I just saw all the feathers. So you were being negligent? Yeah. Honestly, it was because I didn't let my dog out.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Yeah. I was going to say, what's the point of having a dog if you can't protect the hens? Well, sometimes the dog doesn't do well with the chickens. What does that mean? It just depends on the morning. What does that mean? Like, sometimes he'll go after the chickens. Has he killed the chicken?
Starting point is 00:43:54 No. He's not killed the chicken. Has he attempted to kill a chicken? No. He's barked at a chicken. Never tried to kill a chicken. Okay. He's a very well-behaved dog.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Okay. So. Didn't he shit in the office like six times? No. He was a puppy. And I was coming into the studio and I had a lot to handle. I said, Spire, can you please watch my puppy while I record? And he was a puppy inside.
Starting point is 00:44:17 So it ate the entire chicken and flew away with it? One time. Oh, yeah. It ripped it up. Hawks attacked from the sky and then they hit on the... Oh, I don't know how birds work. No, but like, falcons will swoop and hit things out of the air. Air to air.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Okay. Hunting where it's hot. So your chicken wasn't flying around 30 feet in the air is what you're talking about? No. Okay. Because I snipped its wings. Yeah. Oh, that's not...
Starting point is 00:44:42 No, no, that's very loud. Okay. Yeah. And you also cut your dog's tail, right? Andy? No, no, no. I did not crop my dog's ears. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:50 At all. You know something's definitely legal when Billy says it's very loud. Yeah, it's very loud. No, it's... People do it. All right. Let's get to our interview. We've got Paul Bissonette.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Before we do that, PFT, you had a quick word from our friends at Raycon? Raycon. Yeah. I don't know about you, big cat, but I feel like I'm always looking at a screen. I don't even check my screen report anymore because it's not good. Nothing good has ever come from looking at that report that your computer sends you, that your phone sends you. But I look at my screen now more than ever and whether you're an avid news watcher or
Starting point is 00:45:19 if you're in serious need of a distraction, unplugging yourself is easier said than done. That's one of my favorite ways to rest my eyes and still get the content that I'm itching for. Put in my Raycon wireless earbuds and I listened to something great. What have you been listening to? Anything good? I've been getting... I was listening to Queens of Stone Age today because I went back into Iron Paradise and
Starting point is 00:45:41 back in the gym. There you go. I got heavy into Supertramp this weekend. Very underrated band. Boston's put out a new single. I've been listening to that on repeat. Sounds crystal clear. It sounds awesome on my Raycon wireless earbuds.

Starting point is 00:47:21 Paul Bissonette. How bad was that commercial? It was great, are you kidding me? Time for a harder shot. My only complaint is that they don't play it enough. Yeah, it should have won an end to your order. That's the worst part of the commercials during the NHL playoffs, they legit recycle four commercials so like everybody hates your guts by the end of the first one.
Starting point is 00:47:40 Right, now we had Witt on and Witt gave us a little sneak peek behind the scenes and said that you wrote that line about yourself, to Paul Bissonette, is that true? Everybody had said it to me before and when they originally said it I was like, okay that's kind of funny. That is funny. I mean spitting hot fire and then all of a sudden we went there, I think there was a bit of a disconnect to like, they were kind of like, say what you would say on the podcast and we're like, yeah that ain't gonna fucking fly on NBC buddy, I talk about chicks eating
Starting point is 00:48:08 my hoop, like if you guys want not anymore. How many kills you got Witt, not anymore. So biz, it's good to have you in studio, great to see your face. Great seeing you guys. Want to talk a little hockey? And then we have some important business at the end. Well fucking PFT was all over me about this, Tom Wilson hit, crying me a river, listen, it sucks for everybody involved.
Starting point is 00:48:29 I'm sure Tom Wilson doesn't want to be sussied seven games, I'm sure he doesn't want to forfeit over 300K in salary, that's a kick in the dick. And hockey players don't get paid a lot. And then Carlo was banged up, he had to go to the hospital, you know, you don't want to see guys getting up. So how much of that hit was kind of in retrospect, like the hit itself was, yeah, by the letter of the law, not clean, I'll say that it wasn't clean, but do you think he would have gotten anywhere near seven games if the outcome of the hit wasn't, you know, a trip to the hospital
Starting point is 00:48:59 and all that? No, I mean, you know, they obviously get a little bit of time afterward to absorb like what happened to the guy, like obviously a trip to the hospital ain't gonna be good, especially for Tom Wilson. Listen, he plays on the edge, it has benefited him greatly because he is a fear type of player out there where everybody's got their head on a swivel. He plays on that line where like, I can't really defend what he did because like I played in an era where I think that that would have flown and it was starting to get weeded out
Starting point is 00:49:25 just because of like everything they were talking about with the headshots and they're like, hey, like player safety here, let's try to eliminate that. So you know, it's just for the new style of game, you just you just can't do it. Now, you know, I'm an old school type of guy, I would have probably got up and tried to take a run at them and fucking grabbed them. But well, you wouldn't, you wouldn't have been on the ice. That, that's a fact. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:47 So, but from what I understand, the problem is he does play on the edge. He is, uh, had a bunch of bad hits, but he doesn't seem like a bad guy, whereas like a Rafi Taurus is just a scumbag bad guy. Oh, come on. Okay. That's one of the best teammates I ever had. Yeah. He tough to defend, especially the last one when he was in San Jose, and I think he was
Starting point is 00:50:09 already on his last straw, and it was in preseason and he legit took a guy's jaw off. Right. I think you can go YouTube it. And I think he got to end up getting like 41 games. That's more than a sussie. Yeah. That's a sussie and a half. A major sussie.
Starting point is 00:50:25 That's a sussie and a half. Yeah. That's a double sussie. Triple sussie. Like Tom Wilson, it seems like guys respect him, but he does play on the edge. Um, I think that, uh, I think that guys in his own team love having on their team. I think that most other teams, I mean, they're supposed to hate them and, and that's what is, is, is slowly fading away from the game in my opinion is that genuine hate.
Starting point is 00:50:49 You're seeing more of it this year, especially maybe in the North division, um, in the NHL just because they're kind of stuck in their own, their own eight, eight to 17 division right now. So it's a fucking guillotine bloodbath, lower the cage, you know, undertaker out of this casket type shit. Hell in the cell. Hell in the cell, baby. What happens if you're one of those teams in the North and you have an Austin Matthews
Starting point is 00:51:09 or you've got a Connor McDavid, you got a young star that you need to protect. There's always going to be a place in the game for a guy like Tom Wilson. Let's put it this way. If Tom Wilson would have done what he did to Connor McDavid, he probably would have got a full year sussie because I think, I think it's getting to the place where they got to really protect those guys. Now, um, just, uh, as far as like protecting the stars, I think that most teams who have guys like that have done a good job of surrounding them with, with a little bit of meat, as they
Starting point is 00:51:37 say. Yeah. Like you look at very good teams like Las Vegas, well, they got Rivo there. You look at, um, Washington, they got Tom Wilson, who I think that I think if push came to shove, you probably would fight, um, uh, Rivo, but even going towards Toronto, they picked up, uh, Wayne Simmons in the law at the off season, who can handle his own business. They had Kyle Clifford there last year. So I still see, see a very relevant position for, for guys like the Ryan Reeves and the
Starting point is 00:52:05 NHL, because, you know, you look at any of these rosters that have made it to the finals, the last how, how many every year, every year is like they always seem to have a guy with them. One guy. Yeah. What, uh, I saw Whit took back his comment. Here's a, can I hop in there? Just a prime example, Tampa was having a hard time giving over the hump.
Starting point is 00:52:23 They had Bogosian, Luke Shen and Pat Maroon as big meaty guys to be able to handle that type of play. If it ended up going there and it did a little bit. Yeah. It doesn't even have to be, I think your point is it doesn't have to be like the traditional goon. It's got to be bigger guys who can handle it when need be distractions, distractions. That's when we, when we won the Calder Cup, like we had our fourth line, it was me, Josh
Starting point is 00:52:45 Gratton. Wait, what is that? Is that a real thing? That's, that's when the Hershey Bears play against the, uh, willing nailers. So is that below or above like West Bank or Reno arena or Reno, uh, smoke another one, uh, with, with KB swag dropping the pocket centerized with Moondog doing laps. I love it. It's, it's Nick and KB on each other's shoulder skating as one of the, uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Wait, so. It's kind of like in the outfit that, uh, not, not semi-pro, what was the figure skating movie? Oh, it's a glory. Yeah. Wait, so finish the Calder Cup when you won the Calder Cup, sorry. We all remember that. It's a real thing.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Yeah. If you have it, if you're one of the handful people that haven't seen this Calder Cup. In Manchester. Yeah. So it was a match Vegas as they call it, not far from, from, uh, Boston. I love when that, whenever like a city like is the worst ever, there's like Vegas on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Yeah. There was one club and during our time there, I believe somebody got stabbed at it and so like nobody was going. Yeah. So it was, it was a bit of a rough scene in match Vegas. So survival of the fittest. Who's this? Hank.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Hank. Hank with a haircut. Yeah. Don't mind us. Oh, let's see it. Debut it on air live. Ooh. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Nice. Oh, no. She shaved the beard. When do you, uh, when do you deploy to basic training? Do we still do fresh cuts? I think it's a nice haircut, Hank. I'm not going to make fun of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Oh, it's okay. This is quite a luck you all have. Well, he just put this on me. Yeah. We all look great, Hank. I don't know. I got sunburn at the, the, the Pink Whitney Cup. We all know.
Starting point is 00:54:14 I'm struggling. Um, all right. So Witt did take back his comment. He said when he was on two weeks ago, he said the Blackhawks have no chance of making the playoffs. No, I, by the, probably the most surprising team and especially after they got off to that dog shit start, that new goalie, Kenny and pronounce his name, he's playing well. And yeah, they just, they're just finding ways to win.
Starting point is 00:54:32 Like, I mean, they just hung around with Tampa Bay, uh, the last, last three games they played a triple header. Hell in the cell. Hell in the cell action, but mind you, they were up three nothing and Witt sends out the tweet saying like, you know, forgive me, Chicago. And then he completely mushed the Hawks six unanswered by the Tampa Bay Lightning to finish the hour. So that's Ryan Whitney.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Thanks so much. Hey, I actually have a real hockey question. What the hell's up with the Buffalo Savers? That seems like a situation where they've been bad for a really long time and they have Jack Eichel and they still aren't good. It's like they had to have too much juju going for the Buffalo bills and they sucked it all out of the savers. That can happen.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Yeah. Kind of like the Monstars and Space Jam. Well, it happens when there's not one, when they don't have four teams in the city because it's just, it's, they don't really know how to spread the love. So Tampa is just stealing all the love. Yeah. It's true. But seriously, what is it?
Starting point is 00:55:24 Are you going to be good? It's just one of those organizations right now that that seemed a little bit cursed. And you know, I would imagine that it's going to have to get a lot worse before it even gets better. And that's saying a lot. Yeah. I, you know, I feel bad for Jack because I mean, he's a good player and sometimes when there's like, I guess not enough weapons around, it gets a little bit stressful and it's hard
Starting point is 00:55:46 to carry the load. And they're not saying it's just, you know, there's a few other guys, Sam Reinhardt's had a great start to the season this year. Well, it could have been that good. But they're still too good to get better. They have to get. No, they're really bad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:00 But they're still too good to get better. They have to get worse to get better. They're broken. They're broken. They're broken. Organization. Yeah. I mean, they, they, they, they, they need to fix, fix a lot of problems.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Like it's not good. I don't, I don't know how else to summarize it without beating a dead horse. I genuinely feel bad for this organization because it ultimately comes down to the fans and we know they're just as crazy as, as Bill's mafia. And they've been waiting a long time since to, to, to repay, to repay the rest of the teams in the league for the foot in the crease, but not all. So the new schedule that's out this year, you see teams playing almost like baseball type series against other teams where they play like back to back.
Starting point is 00:56:39 What is different about playing a team like twice in a row? Would you prefer to play the same team two times in a row, three times over the course of a week? Or do you like cycling around and skipping around through the schedule? I think that it would be very wise just from a hockey related revenue standpoint, as far as not burning fuel and wasting all this time hopping around places and especially for teams in the West who have to travel so much, go to a place, play two games. I, I, I think, I mean, uh, Coyotes played the St. Louis Blues seven times in a row this
Starting point is 00:57:09 season. That's pretty fucking awesome. I mean, it was. Seven games here. Yeah. It created so, so much hate. It was a dream and it made for a fun series. It actually went to seven.
Starting point is 00:57:19 Uh, I think that they should at least be playing two games and Jonathan Taze was a guy who has been harping on this for a while. And you know, normally when it's a guy of that stature saying it, it gains a little bit more steam, but I hundred percent think they should adapt it, especially, especially within teams of your own division. Like if you're going to California, yeah, go play the Kings for two, go play Anaheim for two and go play San Jose for two and come home. Well, it's like, you know, basketball and hockey, they don't play the same schedule
Starting point is 00:57:48 as baseball 162, but it's half of that. Why not just when you go play two, right? Like no one complains about a baseball series because it's just something we're used to. Yeah. It would be cool if there was a hockey series. You gotta play two games and sometimes you'll, you'll play like a back to back while you're, you'll play in Edmonton and then you'll travel to Vancouver that night and then you're like playing the next day where it's like, why couldn't we just have banged out a back to back in Edmonton
Starting point is 00:58:09 and save ourselves the, the cost of fuel, the, all the other green, getting a, going green too. Yeah. Business green plan. I like this business green deal. I think that they are going to adapt it moving forward. Sometimes it just takes a situation like this to force the hand where I think they're seeing enough positive feedback from it, including the, the North division, which, you know,
Starting point is 00:58:29 I think it was a good experiment for one year. I think it's going to eventually go back to, to all. It does seem like we're segregating the Canadian teams a little bit. Well, they're doing that because of the border situation. Right. No, I, I totally get that, but I, I don't understand why it took hockey so long to get to this point where they're doing serious because maybe you can tell me a downside, but if you get teams playing against each other twice a row, there, these little mini
Starting point is 00:58:50 storylines that build up, it generates more interest in those games. Like you said, you save on travel costs. You get to unpack your suitcase in a town occasionally. Like, I don't know. Yeah. You might get to hit up the cactus club waitress that you did before in Edmonton or Calgary. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:05 You get to, yeah. You go on a date on a day date with the person that you made that. Yeah. Maybe a little sober sex. It'll make for, for a better relationship because maybe the follow-up day, you gain a little bit closer next, you know, it's like instead of changing it up the next day on the road, you're, you know, you're snuggle fast. Don't you?
Starting point is 00:59:20 Do you like the Canadian division because it guarantees that a Canadian team gets into the final four, which like, you know, they haven't won a cup in what, how many? 90? Probably older than 90. Yeah. Definitely. I think it was what, 93, 92? I think, I think that it's, it's, it's been really good for this year.
Starting point is 00:59:34 Yeah. It's good to see Toronto's got success and LeafsNations. It's buzzing. Uh, you know, I mean, they still got to, they still got to get past the first round. I don't think they've done so in the last 15 or 16 years, so this is a, a starving fan base that is seeing a better opportunity to, to yes, get out and they don't have to try to get through Boston. Right.
Starting point is 00:59:52 So is this the Leafs year? I sit on the podcast at the beginning of the year. I truly believe with the pickups that they made and, and adding Joe Thornton's experience to maybe calm the young guys down in a sense of deflecting media and keeping it more positive during stressful times. Yes. I think that they're going to win the Stanley Cup. I am a, I'm all on board.
Starting point is 01:00:10 They're my Canadian team. Are we allowed to have a Canadian team? You can do whatever you want. I feel like you should. As America. As the number one sports podcast, you could probably do whatever the fuck you guys want. Okay. Well, Toronto, the Maple Leafs, the Leafs are my Canadian team.
Starting point is 01:00:23 I do want to see them, if it's not going to be the Caps, I'm absolutely rooting for them to win it all. I think they're a fun team. Who's your Canadian team big gap? Probably the Flames. I like that. I like the stadium. So they just, you know, that they just picked up Daryl Sutter, right?
Starting point is 01:00:35 As the new coach. And they're coached mid, mid season here. Okay. Of Kings fans. So Daryl Sutter is, is a hard nose coach. We actually just got his brother on. There was six brothers who ended up playing in the NHL. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:48 They're, yeah, they're an all time hockey family. Yeah. So Daryl Sutter was off for six years, ended up coaching in San Jose with a guy named Dean Lombardi, where after six years of him just completely not coaching, Dean Lombardi hired him as the LA coach midway through the season and then yet winning two cups with, with LA. So he's been on the shelf for another three years and Calgary has been under performing so they end up hiring him, but he's a hard, hard nose coach. That, that series in, I want to say it was 2014, the Western Conference finals when the
Starting point is 01:01:18 Kings scored on a game seven overtime goal at the United center. Remember that? That sucked. Was it? Yeah. It was 14. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:30 They, they won in six. They beat. No. No. Are you sure? I'm talking about in the Western Conference finals. Yes. They beat New York in the cup.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Yeah. Who did they beat? All that's right. They scored a game winning goal, overtime game seven goal at the United center. Yeah. That was an insane series. Really sucked the air out of that. That was a kick in the dick too.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Um, yeah. He's, I like the hard. I feel like they pass. I feel like hockey passes around the hard nose coach guys. Like it's like, oh, towards this career to whip everyone in shape and then in three years everyone's going to hate his guts and they're going to have to go somewhere else. Yeah. He's lasted quite a long time in Columbus based on his shelf life as usual.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Yeah. Right. Like he's, he's, he's expired milk at this point. We should do, you guys should do a draft list of who the hardest nose coaches are. Well, give us some more guys. Oh, in the NHL right now. Babcock kind of. Well, yeah, but he kind of, he got canceled for being a little too hard.
Starting point is 01:02:24 He was playing mind games. Right. Right. He was, he took hard nose to an extreme level. Yeah. He was strapping guys up to lie detector tests in the room and stuff like that. Really? You know when saving silver men when they're in the guy lights, yeah, it's like, I could
Starting point is 01:02:38 actually see a hockey coach doing that again, a polygraph, like he doesn't know how to read it, but he pretends that he does. So it's those two, would you put trots up there? No, trot, I would know trots is a good dude. He's just very system oriented. So Laviolet, I think he's, I think he's more of a player's coach and a hard nose coach, although you guys have talked probably about dry island on here, haven't you? Dry island.
Starting point is 01:03:02 So dry island was something. So during the Philadelphia Flyers, during some of their peak years there when they had Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, and then Chris Pronger came on board, I think that they were known at the time as a bit of a party team where they like to have a fucking good time and get after it. So I, the coach ended up proposing, but not consulting the leadership group about this dry island. So it's like everybody who wants to stop boozing at a point in the season till, till I believe
Starting point is 01:03:30 the end of the year was going to join dry island. So you would go write your name on the board. So a few guys at the leadership group like Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, they were like, no, like Richards is a throwback old school player. So he's like, no, I'm going out and I'm battling for 60 minutes and I'm grabbing a fucking beer after the game. So he never got on dry island. So he never, he never joined dry island.
Starting point is 01:03:50 I don't think, I'm not sure if Jeff Carter did or not, but it was just, I think it was part of the respect factor, the fact that he didn't consult them, that he was going to do it, which, which rubbed them the wrong way a little bit too. And, and ultimately I, I don't, I don't want to say this is the final straw, but it ultimately, they, Jeff Carter ended up getting traded in the off season of Columbus. Mike Richards ended up getting sent off to LA. Well Jeff Carter ended up in Los Angeles with him because he was over Columbus in about six weeks and they got two cups together.
Starting point is 01:04:22 So that's, that's like alcohol persecution. It was like the prohibition in the flyers locker room. If your coach says like, we're going to form dry island, it's totally voluntary if you want to sign up for this. It's like, it was like this, it's voluntary, but if you're not on it, right? Dumb, dumb, dumb. Yeah. The DU Islanders is the other group.
Starting point is 01:04:41 Yeah. I wonder if, I wonder if anyone took themselves off dry island, like went and erased themselves off dry island. Hey, are we going to, are we going to applaud the DU Islanders there? No, I'm curious. I'm actually curious about dry island. You do a little clip. Snap out.
Starting point is 01:04:53 He's got his mouth full. What happens though, if you're on dry island and you fall off the wagon, fall off the motorboat, whatever you call it, like if you get caught having a beer? Well, I think that that might have been part of the issue too, where there were guys on dry island who were actually, you know, sneaking a few cocktails. Maybe they were going for a, for a piss on the team flight and they were doing one of those mini pink Whitney's on board. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:14 Those weren't a little, a little crown and co except Pirelli's. Buy some pink Whitney's. Nice plug. So, so wait, give me your, give me your final four. Give me the, the biz stone cold lead pipe locks for the final four. You haven't talked about this on your, no, it's just, it's just hard early on because I feel like when teams peek a little bit too early, it's, it's a, it's a negative thing. I think that Vegas, it might be Vegas this time.
Starting point is 01:05:42 They're getting very good goal-tenning from flower right now. They got a wagon of a team up front. They just get contributions deep down the lineup and they got a solid back end. They got a couple of young bucks. They got that Shay Theodore. So they're my team in the West. Obviously I love my coyotes. I'm just trying to be realistic about this.
Starting point is 01:06:01 They're not in the playoffs, right? Are they, are they, are they going to make the playoffs? I think the Yotes are going to get that four spot in the West. So, so you know who knows, maybe they can knock off the big boys. I would probably have to say Tampa. I would say Toronto. And who else, who else should I pick? The Flyers?
Starting point is 01:06:26 Yeah. Let's go with Hazy Squad. Let's go with the Flyers. Yeah. Why not? They're technically right now outside looking in 12, seven and three. Yeah. They're, they're two points back, but it's also weird because everyone's got different games played. Like they've played two less games than the penguins, the capitals and the islanders. We've really dove into this hockey talk.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Yeah. Let's, let's transition here. Fighting talk. Yeah. Well, I was going to transition to just say, how are you? I'm doing good. I'm doing good. I'm, I'm, I'm growing up day by day, slowly. Um, why are you laughing over there?
Starting point is 01:07:00 Hey, I was a late bloomer, man. I was immature for a long time and I'm trying to figure this thing out. Yeah. So you're no longer immature. No, I'm like still, yeah, still immature. I'm, but I'm ahead of Billy over here. That's true. Yeah. That's not saying much.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Billy's 22. Oh, 36. 36. Yeah. But yeah, that is true. Wait, you're 36. Jesus. He's in 1985.
Starting point is 01:07:18 Wait, see, I look older. When, when, when, when, when's your birthday? 85, March 11th, coming up in a few days. Oh, so you're not 36 yet? No, I'm turning 36 in a few days. By the time this comes out, maybe I'm 36. Wait, big cats older than you? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:07:31 Wow. So is PFT. He's, he's having a little midlife crisis. And I've got a kid and he's, he's got, PFT's got a little quarter life crisis where he's pretending he's 28. Yeah. Things are, things are great, man. Very, very, uh, fortunate to be associated with Barstool.
Starting point is 01:07:45 By the way, I think we should plug the Pink Whitney cup that we had today, not to try to drive. No, do it. Do it. Plug it. Go ahead. How's Jake? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:52 What are, what are. You called it, right? With Jake? Jake is unbelievable. He loves you. I love Jake. Yeah, he had the nicest things to say about you on the way back. I'm, I'm, hey, listen, I think we talked about it.
Starting point is 01:08:03 And should we break it to him now, Jake? Is he in here? No, he's not in here. Oh, he's not. So. Well, I'll break it to you guys. So, um. This room is not that big.
Starting point is 01:08:10 You forgot what Jake looked like. No, I thought he was hiding behind that monitor over there, but he's going to be joining us now. He's going to be leaving you guys. Jake would never. That's not even a funny joke because Jake would never do that. He's going to become our antelope. It's payment for Billy, Colin, Whit, Buddy.
Starting point is 01:08:25 Okay. So then let's get to that. So are you going to fight Billy football at Ruff and Rowdy? No, we were playing Tommy Sticks today at the, at the. Oh, he's too nice of a guy. He's too nice of a guy. I tried to keep him away as best as I could. They're just too much of life.
Starting point is 01:08:38 Speaking of betrayal, I was going to say, the chemistry between Billy football and PFT on the coaching bench today was. Was it good? Hot seat, hot seat, big cat. Oh, okay. That's fine. They can go off and do anything they want.
Starting point is 01:08:52 We had a. Reverse 69. A 222 year old. Reverse 69 actually. We had a great rapport going. He was part of my front office. I was the coach. Billy was our general manager.
Starting point is 01:09:01 We're not going to spoil what happened, but Billy and I had a great time coaching hockey. I love hockey. I like, I'm so mad. I played basketball growing up like. I think we should put tucks on the bottom of those boots and see him out next year. I will learn to skate to play in the cup next year.
Starting point is 01:09:16 A hundred percent. Okay. How did you get a tan today when you live in Arizona? Because we were standing direct. Me and Jake, we were a buzzing man. That guy was so good. He was so good at remembering all the names. And even when they threw him a curve ball,
Starting point is 01:09:28 where it was just like random draft. So he had to like figure out all the names beforehand. Talk about a professional. Oh, yeah. That's what happens when you don't have any head trauma. That's zero. Yeah. He's the goat.
Starting point is 01:09:38 He was, he was here. I think he's saying the fact that if you don't have CTE, you're able to remember and put much more prepared. Yeah. No, no. Like just pulling names out from the back of your brain. It was also Billy's way of casually reminding you that Jake didn't play contact sports.
Starting point is 01:09:52 That's what Billy wanted to try and he wanted to brag. And he wanted to brag when you guys know him better than I do. No, he tries to be all like, oh, Jake's just a nerd. Because Jake actually, you know, you probably have it. Well, no, Grinnell does a good job for you guys. But like you have people in your life who just constantly let you down. And then you have people who always come through.
Starting point is 01:10:12 Jake always comes through, Billy constantly lets me down. So he does think that he has reach on you. Therefore, he could take you. When was the last time you were in a fight? That's the problem. Last time I was in a fight, I believe, was my last ever professional game. And I was like, Bambi out there.
Starting point is 01:10:26 I'd actually, so I tore my, what was it? I tore my right ACL halfway through the year, ended up trying to come back because I knew that was going to be my last year at that point. And I tried coming back one game. I knew it wasn't stable enough. So I took another month to like get it strong enough to wear a brace and then finish the season on.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Didn't get certain. Well, sure enough, I come back a few games before playoffs. We're in San Jose and I get hit from the side in the second period and I feel my other one go. And I go over to my trainer and I'm like, hey, I think I just tore my other ACL. And he was like, no. And we went off after the second and he moved it around.
Starting point is 01:11:07 And he's like, yeah, you just tore your other one. So I was like, but I knew it was my last game. It was emotional. The coach came in and I had that coach in junior and we'd also want to call their cup together, not to go back to the fact that, you know, I want to call their cup, not a big deal. But, you know, I knew it was going to be my last game.
Starting point is 01:11:25 So I went out there and finished the game and I was like, Bambi, because I was falling over because I had no ACLs. And I ended up fighting a guy, Zach Stortini. They used to call him Huggy Bear in the NHL a little bit. But he's a tough customer. And I would probably give him the edge. And that was my last ever professional fight.
Starting point is 01:11:41 And I don't, I mean, I've grown up enough to not have to be fighting in bars and shit now. So you were fighting on two torn ACLs. That's fucking crazy. Yeah. Huggy tough. Well, it was, it was like, it was sad. I was like, this is going to be my last ever hug.
Starting point is 01:11:55 It's all over. And, you know, I had no idea what was going to happen with my media career. It was kind of just like your livelihood has been stripped from you. And you're like, oh, shit, like, I got to restart this whole fucking thing. Did you sit in the locker room for a while with your pads on?
Starting point is 01:12:07 No, I, uh, no, not, not really. I actually hurried up and got on change and put some ice bags on because I was so swollen. You know, I looked like, I looked like the fucking Michelin man with all these ice bags on me. But, uh, no, did you get, did you get surgery on both at the same time? No, I still haven't gotten surgery on my right,
Starting point is 01:12:26 but I got MCL on my left and, and I used the, is this the patella tendon? Sure. Yeah, that's the one. And then that, that to fix my left one. So that was the last, that's another reason why I would be nervous to get in the ring. I got to get my legs strong again before I do anything.
Starting point is 01:12:41 That's pretty badass though, to be like, I've been just been walking around on a torn ACL for the last five years. So surprisingly, a lot of soccer players play on torn ACLs. And the craziest thing about the soccer guys is they're not allowed to use braces either. Wait, soccer guys play in torn ACLs? Yeah, because if you're, if you're able to,
Starting point is 01:12:58 to, to get the muscles around it, I think they call it prehab. To where, before you actually get ACL surgery, what they recommend doing is allowing the swelling to completely go down and to retrain the muscles around it before you end up going under the knife. Because if you do it right away, it just, it's a, it's not as clean as a recovery.
Starting point is 01:13:18 At least that's what they told me. And that's what a lot of people have heard. So that's why I was, the prehab thing seemed like a good idea. I just didn't realize I was going to tear the fucking other one when I tried to make a comeback. Soccer players, tougher than you might think. Yeah. I don't know if that's true though.
Starting point is 01:13:32 That soccer player is playing in torn ACLs all the time. Well, I tell you this, there's enough of them out there that have done it before and they've actually done it without a brace because you can't use braces and soccer. This is why, this is why Billy and, and Bizz can't fight. They are the same person. Yeah. Like that was a Billy fact.
Starting point is 01:13:46 Yeah. Yeah, I'll put it this way. Just throw out a fact that like we can't say. Ask troops. I bet your troops would know. I don't, I, I highly doubt that like world-class soccer players. I love Billy facts. Don't get me wrong.
Starting point is 01:13:55 Play on torn ACLs. That's a fun fact. I might be wrong and if I'm wrong. But we don't know how to, yeah, we can't, we can't prove that or deny it. Yeah. I know that soccer players have come back from surgery in three weeks on a meniscus surgery and played.
Starting point is 01:14:07 Okay. That's, that's different meniscus. You guys could just go back and forth with facts that like no one can really prove. So wait, who was your fight against your last fight? I'm just going to look it up. Oh, Zach Stortini. Stortini.
Starting point is 01:14:17 He was playing the most pathetic part about it was they had an AHL team in San Jose and they draw unbelievable for the NHL. They sell it out most nights, but they get like 200 people for AHL games. So I, I, my last game was played from like 200 people. Okay. I'm watching your last fight.
Starting point is 01:14:35 You're squaring the guy up. You're eating a couple of rights. I got beat. Let's see. You got a, you got a good hold on his jersey there. Swing. Do you miss balance? Do you miss just mixing up?
Starting point is 01:14:46 No. Chucking some nucks. No, not really. Not anymore. Would your adrenaline be just like racing after a fight? So the, so what sucked about fighting was I was, I wasn't like a natural fighter. I kind of had to start doing it because I wasn't really good
Starting point is 01:14:59 enough as a player to where I had to add it to my bag. So I would, I would just get nervous because I had to fight all these guys who were tougher than me all the time, but yet I knew I had to do it in order to survive and potentially get to the NHL. So that, so my pregame nap, it sucked. I was nervous. I had a shitty feeling on my stomach the day of games.
Starting point is 01:15:19 And, and you were always the guy like, so was there, were you ever on a team where there was another guy like you that could maybe take a little bit of the load off? Or was it just always, hey, it's biz. Like when, when, when we got a fight, biz is coming out to fight. No, so my last, my, or sorry, when we won the Calder Cup, not a big deal for the third time this episode.
Starting point is 01:15:38 We had a guy named Josh Gratton who was, was like a super heavy. So having him on the team is nice. Although I was still willing to go. What? Conom is super heavy. No, no, it must have been amazing to have him. So it's like, oh, well, he can go do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:51 To have anybody else at least as equally as tough as you is nice because you can split the load and most sometimes teams wouldn't even engage because they were like, hey, these guys got a couple of mutants on their squad. So we won't even bother. Hell yes. Like the ass brothers. I, I talked to other guys though who did the job
Starting point is 01:16:08 and they wouldn't get nervous. Really? Yeah, they could just do it naturally. And what, what, how many times did you fight right off of the face off? Those are my favorite. Like, hey, you want to go buddy? All right, let's go buddy.
Starting point is 01:16:20 And just boom, drop the gloves right off the face off. Yeah. Because I wasn't a relevant enough player to where I was out there getting in the mix most nights where some nights in the NHL, I would legitimately play two minutes. So they would send you out. They'd be like, all right, biz, get out there. You know what you got to do.
Starting point is 01:16:35 Yeah. At that point, it didn't have to be told to me. Right. And then, and then fighting in the league became more, more irrelevant for, especially for guys who couldn't contribute offensively and who were just knuckle draggers as what I would consider myself at that time. Now this is fascinating to me.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Sorry for all the questions. But was there ever a time where a guy wouldn't go? Like you, you just were sent out there ready to go. And he just, he just turtled. Fell down, maybe. No, just before he wouldn't even go. He just, because you know. You can say no to a fight.
Starting point is 01:17:05 Yeah. Yeah, not, not often. Sometimes it would, but it's for different reasons. There's like a psychological momentum shift, at least what some coaches think. And I believed in it too. Whereas when you had the lead, you never wanted to engage because you wouldn't want to lose a fight
Starting point is 01:17:22 and then potentially lose that momentum. Some people think that's the dumbest thing ever. Like what does that have anything to do? But if it's a, let's say it's a home crowd and you're up, you're on the road, right? It's their home crowd and you're up 3-1. And all of a sudden you lose the fight. Their whole crowd is going nuts.
Starting point is 01:17:36 Sure. Sometimes the energy will put another team on their heels. I just think that maybe your team is a little bit mentally weak, if that's going to be a deciding factor. Although there's been cases in my NHL career. I remember I had a really good one against Jay Rose Hill. He played for the Philadelphia Flyers. He's a lefty too.
Starting point is 01:17:52 He's tough as nails. I would probably give him slight edge in that one too, but he was smart about it. So he got out there against our captain Shane Doan and he kept taking runs at our skill guys. So at that point we were up 3-1. I look at our coach and I say, I fucking go on this guy. Like I can't let this, this is embarrassing.
Starting point is 01:18:10 I look like a clown right now because he's rubbing my nose and shit in my own building. So we had a pretty good dust up. I mean, PFT, you could be the judge of that. And I still think it was a good scrap. I don't think that the fight lost momentum, but we ended up losing 5-3. They scored 4 and answered.
Starting point is 01:18:29 So that's a sign. Yes, you're right. So you're up 3-1. You guys both got a couple of shots in there. One thing I love about like a really good fighter is, you know, you have to have that grasp of the jersey. So you can kind of control him with your jab hand. And then even if you get beat,
Starting point is 01:18:43 if you have a good grasp of that, you can pull the guy down. So he hits the ice like right before you. And then it looks like you won. And then maybe you get a shot on him or he's down, even though you get knocked out. Yeah, most traditional hockey viewers and who have watched enough fights,
Starting point is 01:18:57 you can usually vote on who won the fight, who got the best clean shots in. You talked about that reach and grab, though. Yeah, that's an important aspect, right? Because that's everything as far as what your balance is off the hop. And there's a funny one you can watch. And I call it poke and the bear. But I fought Ryan Reeves in St. Louis
Starting point is 01:19:17 to where we got off to a horrible start. And he got the no from his coach, probably, because he's like, we have momentum. I don't want to give it up. And there's no point in fighting you right now. You're probably a liability on the ice. So I gave him a little kick in the back of the leg. And sure enough, on that fight, I went into grab and I missed.
Starting point is 01:19:36 But Reeves got such long arms, he got me clean. And he just started wailing to where I'm like, no! And you started it, yeah. And I looked like a clown because I poked the bear. But I agree with you, that first grab is so important because it's everything as far as your leverage. And if you miss and the other guy gets it, look out, you're going to be eating a knucklesack.
Starting point is 01:19:57 Yeah, he got control. You're pretty good in that. Oh, right in the back of the head. And then body slam. The body slam. Yeah, that was pretty emasculating. He threw me through the earth's crust. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:03 I do like that you sit there. And then he gave it the belt after and the home crowd with absolutely fucking bananas. So like in that Bruins capitals game from a couple of days ago, one of the young guys in the Bruins went after Ovi. Trent Frederick. Yeah. And Ovi kind of shook him off and was like,
Starting point is 01:20:18 I'm just not going to, I'm going to stand here. I'm not going to move, but I'm not going to fight you. I think Ovi probably heard some of the criticism from the playoffs a couple of years ago when he fought the young kid on Carolina and just like broke his face. So sometimes you get these ultimate skilled guys that go Vechkin and Ovechkin's a bear.
Starting point is 01:20:35 He's like 240 pounds. I mean, he is a mammoth of a human being. So he's so skilled and good. Normally those other guys he's lining up against aren't fighters either. And if they were going to pick one, it ain't going to be against Ovi because they don't want to fight a Russian bear.
Starting point is 01:20:52 So this Shvechnikov poked the bear, as I said earlier, and Ovi just cocked him with a hard right. And that's pretty much been the only noise that Ovi's heard since as far as guys challenging him. This Trent Frederick guys trying to make a name for himself, but Ovi ain't bothering himself with a guy probably of Trent Frederick's caliber, at least to this point. And I don't know if you guys saw the cup check afterward though.
Starting point is 01:21:15 He stuck him in the nuts and got a $5,000 fine, which I think Ovi's got that in his fucking cup holder in his car. Putin just slid the black card. Yeah, he gave him the black card. Yeah, that's a real thing, right? Yeah, I don't want to be starting rumors here. I have heard from a decent amount of people that yeah, Putin gives out this like special black card
Starting point is 01:21:35 to a bunch of hardcore Russian athletes who make the country proud. Yeah, it could be a complete myth, but I think we should just roll with it because he's having a fucking bad ass. Have you seen Putin's like hunting lodge that's basically an entire, it's like $3 billion? It's a whole reason why there's like a big-
Starting point is 01:21:53 It looks like a Louis Vuitton signal. Well, not only that one, but there's like this whole, you've obviously seen it on the, I think it's on the Caspian Sea, and he keeps saying that it's not his house. And it's like, it's insane. It's a whole country, basically. The whole house is made of marble and gold.
Starting point is 01:22:08 It's the most insane thing. From above, it reads VP. There's like all these tunnels. There's actually an underground ice rink. He has an underground ice rink. There's a big hill, and underneath it is an ice rink. And you've seen his game. He's pretty nice out there.
Starting point is 01:22:20 Yeah, dude, he scores like seven goals. Okay, so I don't know if Whit has ever told this story on your podcast. This is unbelievable, where he was playing in Russia. He showed up to the rink one day, and there was these metal detectors, and never was like that. He was like, what's going on here?
Starting point is 01:22:36 And I think there was a Russian player at the time going into the building, and he kept asking him, and I don't think he got an answer before they got into the building, but then ultimately, when they're walking in together after going through these metal detectors, he was made aware that he was like, Putin, Putin. So Putin had rented out the ice at this building
Starting point is 01:22:55 that they played out of, and there was a bunch of people in the crowd, and it was just Putin on the ice, and he was skating around, no goalie, no nothing. And he would just skate down the ice and put the puck in the empty net, and these people who were asked to be there would stand up and start clapping for him.
Starting point is 01:23:10 I love it. I, you know what? But the players were not allowed to go through the ice to watch. The only way Whit could get out there is he went to where they used to, saw the sticks, to where I think the Zamboni entrance was, to where you get a look at what the hell was going on.
Starting point is 01:23:24 So there was about 400, 500 people in the crowd. Putin was just skating down to the other end after he picked it up out of the net. Score another one, and the same people would just keep cheering. Okay. So I'm not a Putin guy. I think he's a bad guy. Oh, I mean, no, I, I, I, I, yeah, no, I mean, he's evil, right?
Starting point is 01:23:39 But that type of story, Now we're dead, we're dead. No, but that type of story, though. You're knowing ya, Hank. That type of story is so perfect, because if I had that type of money in power, I would do the exact same thing. I would, I would like invite a bunch of 10-year-olds over
Starting point is 01:23:55 to my house and just swat their shit into like the third, third row. That's what Justin Bieber does, right? He hires people to suck at basketball. Yeah, right. Like that would, that actually, like I would, I would build up a baseball field and I'd have fucking, I've actually said this to Krabis.
Starting point is 01:24:10 I was like, if I paid you a million dollars a year, would you just throw me fucking meatballs and I'd send him to the moon? And, and he's like, when I have to pretend I'm trying, I'm like, yeah, a million dollars a year. He's like, yeah, I'd do it. And they're like, okay, that's what I would do.
Starting point is 01:24:21 If I could do that and have him just like, actually be mad and throw his glove and just fucking moonshot, moonshot, moonshot. I haven't really given it any thought as to what I would do if I had that obscene amount of money. It'd be incredible though. But just Billy, what, Billy, what would you do if you had that much money?
Starting point is 01:24:36 I'd buy a shitload of qualms. I don't know. I'm sorry, Jose Canseco. I'd probably buy a farm somewhere. Just chill. Maybe, oh, I want a Highland cattle. I want a, I want a herd of Highland cattle. Look it up.
Starting point is 01:24:48 It's sick. You're like, you super furry cattle. Oh, okay. Like, like nice looking cattle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, wired hair pointer type dogs and have like goatees and shit. No, dude, they're sick.
Starting point is 01:24:57 Okay. We'll take your word for it. Just do some gentleman farming. That sounds awesome. Yeah, I would get, you know what I would do? I would get one of those couches that Doc Anil had in Tiger King. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:08 That's purchase number one. The huge, the room that's just a couch. My entire house would just be couches. I think, I think Kanye did a good job. And I think it's going back to what Billy said, the farm aspect. Didn't he buy a place in Wyoming and he has these crazy vehicles that can,
Starting point is 01:25:22 they can go on water, land. What else can they fly to? Yeah. Yeah. They can do a bunch of shit. And I think you bought it from overseas and you got to like import it. And it's a, it's a quite a bit of cash.
Starting point is 01:25:34 That's actually not, it's not a bad one. And then write sick beats and drop some fire. Yeah. That's good life. All right. Last question. So the row back. This has been fun, by the way, boys.
Starting point is 01:25:43 It's great to see you. So we have the row back question. We're going to give you some free row back gear on the way out. Do you have, do you wear a row back? It's actually very, very, you're going to like it. You're going to love it. The row back question promo code PMT
Starting point is 01:25:56 for 20% off your first purchase. R-H-O-B-A-C-K dot com. And for our guest today, we'd like to give you a row back performance Q-Zip on us. Do we have that? We have that. Somewhere in the studio. It's somewhere in the studio.
Starting point is 01:26:09 So actually that's part of the fun is you got to find it in this studio. The row. Oh, well, we can give you that too. There's a bunch of stuff we can give you. Do you like our, that's the last question. Do you like our studio? What do you like?
Starting point is 01:26:21 I love your guy's studio. It has a lot of character. I would love to be able to sit down with the Spit and Shackles podcast and do it live. It's just, I think that, you know, me living in Arizona, it's not, not ideal. I just feel like we have so much more rhythm when we end up meeting up together wherever we are.
Starting point is 01:26:36 Like we just went to Florida to Jupiter. Yeah, it looks fun. Yeah. Oh, it's blast. I mean, it's just like the flow is so much better. We live in this, well, during the last year, I don't think we really had a choice anyway doing, and then we've gotten good enough on Zoom,
Starting point is 01:26:51 but there's something about being together. Yeah. How about this? Here's my last question. What advice do you have for JJ Watt moving to Arizona? Do you want to give him some of the, some of the biz nasties tips of the trade? We're going to find this row back for you.
Starting point is 01:27:04 I think that, I think that Arizona and Scottsdale area, mainly is, is one of the best places to live in the country. It's been very good to me. I'm really, really grateful that when I was put on waivers that they picked me up because I don't think I could have ever seen myself moving to Scottsdale, Arizona. And for eight months of the year, it's unbelievable. But my advice for JJ Watt would probably be just be,
Starting point is 01:27:28 stay away from, I mean, he's married, right? He's got a girl. Yeah, yeah. I would say it's probably the sugar daddy capital of the world to stay away from the thoughts. Got it. Got it. That's good.
Starting point is 01:27:39 I mean, there's a lot of. Don't bring your girl around, Paul Bissonette. Yeah, that's all right. I got a girl now, guys. Yeah, he's grown up. Yeah, farmers only. Oh, here we go. Here and here is your rowback.
Starting point is 01:27:50 What size do you wear? Double XL. Thanks, Billy. Wait, why don't we give him a size that he actually is? Am I going to be joining you with the cycle or what? Yeah, let's give him an XL. You're an XL. L, L, L.
Starting point is 01:28:00 Yeah, he can rock an L. All right. So there it is. A parting gift. Well, how many podcasts have you gone on to give you a parting gift as you go from rowback, R-H-O-P-A-C-K. I haven't done a live podcast since probably the last time
Starting point is 01:28:12 I was in here, maybe. Well, no, you just said you did one in Florida last week. Well, yeah, but my own podcast wouldn't give you anything. Spittin' Checklist's best podcast out there, number one in Canada, not a big deal. Yeah. They got a Calder Cup winner, a guy who got traded from a Stanley Cup team.
Starting point is 01:28:28 Quebec Peewee Championship. Yep. In 97, went one. And maybe the most gregarious racquantour of all time in rear-at. He's won more Stanley Cups than probably anyone in the Stanley Cup. That's true. He's been with a lot of cups.
Starting point is 01:28:43 So one thing about RA is the forest scump of the hockey world. We're in every single Stanley Cup celebration. He's behind the scenes, just getting a picture in there. I think he's got one with, I know Detroit, he's got a picture with Darren McCarty. And then they pigeon-tossed him out of the room and a couple other.
Starting point is 01:28:59 But it's been a fun dynamic, man. He's such an interesting guy. And like I said earlier, I'm just grateful to be part of this Barstool family. Walk me through real quick the Tochi's incident that happened. And have you guys recovered from that? And also, is Memes ever coming back? Memes got deleted off Instagram.
Starting point is 01:29:14 He broke too many rules. He's in purgatory right now. I think what Gazz is trying to work out is a 30-day suspension. So we hope that Gazz can get him back. We've got to get him back. Yeah, he's one of a kind. So Tochi's? The Tochi's incident was just RA rubbing his Tochi's on wit.
Starting point is 01:29:31 And sometimes RA's is a little bit oblivious. And now has wit. It's got some fungus that he can't get rid of. Wait, was he was rubbing his foot on RA's foot? RA has sandals on. And he just like picked his Tochi's and then went. And then he gave him the fish hook. And then he gave him the fish hook in his mouth.
Starting point is 01:29:53 It was like absolutely minding when he did it. But then you watch back on the replay and you're like, holy shit. Wit is now living in a bubble in quarantine. So he can't. A new coronavirus was created. We can never do a live podcast anymore. Oh my god. Because RA ruined it.
Starting point is 01:30:06 Billy, thank you for not ever doing that to us. Yeah, you probably will. You guys thought you had it bad. Yeah. No, we don't. Billy's fine. Thanks for having me, guys. This was awesome.

Starting point is 01:32:19 So we should maybe think of some new ideas. If any AWLs have ideas for the end of Wednesday shows. What are you going to say, Billy? Bring back jimbos. That's a Friday thing. Friday's working to it. Yeah, maybe. Kind of blended jimbos in a firefest we could.
Starting point is 01:32:32 Yeah. Just something to keep on your mind. Or some more real stuff, you know? I don't know. Yeah, I agree with you. Do you have some voicemails or something? Who knows? Ooh.
Starting point is 01:32:44 Hey, fellas, when should the women start paying when they first start seeing a guy? I've been on four dates now with one guy, and I'm feeling pretty bad that I haven't offered to pay once. All you have to do is to reach. Just make me think that you're attempting to. That's really what guys are looking for is the gesture. I think it's one.
Starting point is 01:33:02 I think like after four dates said, four dates, I think like somewhere in the next few, and it doesn't have to be some crazy, you know, big dinner. But yeah, I would throw down once. I feel like the schedule is the guy pays for the first few dates. Maybe after a couple of them, you do the fake reach for the tab. The guy still pays. And then when you have dinner at one of your homes,
Starting point is 01:33:25 a lot of times that's the first time where the girl's like, I want to make you dinner. So you're Burger King. I'm Burger King. Well, because there are women out there who are great chefs. Right. Sometimes unappreciated. Right.
Starting point is 01:33:35 That's true. But that's when you. 20%. That's when you load up on the wine. That's when you load up on a nice dish. And that's your way because you're putting your heart and soul into it. Yeah. I like that.
Starting point is 01:33:44 Depends on who chooses the restaurant. Oh, also kind of true. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you chew, yeah. If she's like, hey, I want to take you out or, hey, let's go here. Yeah. Okay, Billy.
Starting point is 01:33:55 That's a good addition. Hey, Big Cat MD Ribs, Mr. 35 and Ria's BF. My boyfriend of two years listens to every one of your episodes on his way to work. We've been living together for a few months and he had the same job for the same amount of time. Well, he wants to move somewhere closer so he can match his commute to your episode length. He says that he hates not having to you guys to listen to on Tuesdays and Thursdays because he listens to half on his way to work and the other half on his way home on Monday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
Starting point is 01:34:23 He's actually looking it up. He's actually looking up houses and new jobs that would make it so he can listen to your episodes every day of the week. Is this normal? Please help. We just need to go a little longer for him. Either that or on Tuesdays, Thursdays, listen to the yak and macro dosing. Or just put it on half speed.
Starting point is 01:34:40 Yeah, put it on half speed. We'll sound drunk. We can go a little longer for this guy, but I like that. I like the commitment to get a little bit. I mean, he's just asking to get a shorter commute, which is a good thing no matter what. So I don't think he has to say it like, hey, I'm doing it because of PMT. Just say, hey, shorter commute is better. Period.
Starting point is 01:35:00 Yeah, that's what's kind of messed up about podcasting is back in the day when you used to drive to work, you would have a rhythm going. So I knew that I would start my drive right when what's his name was going to be playing the parody song on Mike and Mike in the morning. Joaquin, I think Joaquin was going to do his trivia, sometimes a buster only. And then by the time I would get to work, it would be immediately at like the second commercial break. But now you can't you can't time anything out that way.
Starting point is 01:35:24 Yeah. Well, you could just listen to Greeny all day every day. That's true. Greeny is always there for you. Yeah, he's always on. My recommendation is just turn Mike Greenberg is always on at any hour of any day. So just listen to that. Yep.
Starting point is 01:35:36 He's like the eternal flame. Hey, guys, specifically big cat. My boyfriend constantly drips pee on his boxers after peeing. It's like he doesn't know how to shake. I think it's disgusting. But every time I bring it up, he just shrugs. What can I do to get him to stop? Wait.
Starting point is 01:35:50 So this guy's walking around his boxers all the time specifically for me. How did how did she know that I have that problem? I don't know. You look like a small drop of pee on the front of your box. I mean, I do. I guess he is charged. I got pissed on me all the time. You really do.
Starting point is 01:36:07 Yeah, I just get in and get out. I don't. I'll do maybe one shake. Yeah. Sometimes I do will no hands. Yeah. Yeah. So guilty is charged.
Starting point is 01:36:17 I would say don't shame him. It's just a little pee. And guess what? He's efficient. I'm an efficient guy. And it's sterile. Yeah. He's listen.
Starting point is 01:36:24 If you're a man on the go, you don't always have time for the third shake. Right. Or like that guy that we talked about a couple of weeks ago that uses toilet paper to wipe his dick after he pees. That guy is slow, lazy. He's always late to shit. Yeah. What are you doing?
Starting point is 01:36:35 Wiping your dick again? Yep. It's also like sometimes when you turn a shower off, but some says leaking out. Like sometimes the pee is done. It just you have no choice. It just comes out five minutes later. Are you OK, Hank? It just leaks out.
Starting point is 01:36:47 Yeah. Right. You just get a little pee leak. Have you had a test recently? Yeah. I like that. Just leaking a little pee over here. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:54 So I'm just walking and just, you know, just flying out. Diary out of your dick. Yeah. It's more of an efficient mail if you just have a wide urethra that's always constantly I actually can't hold my bladder at all. Just when you have a child's bladder, we all know that comes out. Yeah. Uh, that was I mean, I was making a joke that you just that was rude.
Starting point is 01:37:16 Well, you have a child's bladder. Yeah. I mean, you do. Are you saying you don't have a child's bladder? I was, you know, I was trying to, you know, would you say that you have a strong bladder? Yeah. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:25 I don't know. My piss is hard. My piss is hard. Yeah. What do you go? You go balls to the wall. We were in a stream strength competition. Oh, so you got a wide hole.
Starting point is 01:37:38 And I just push hard. Maybe you got, maybe you got a jacked up prostate. Maybe you got, you swole. Do you pinch the end like a hose? So it's. Yeah. No, actually I put my finger on the tip on the tip. I just dig deep and bend my knees a little bit and just go hard.
Starting point is 01:37:53 We should invent a penis cork that just like it stays in place all day. You have them already. What? Your stones. Yes. Well, yeah. But that's like, that's coming from inside.
Starting point is 01:38:02 They don't, the stones don't block the pee. I'm saying some of that goes in the end. Just like a, like a wine bottle. You cork it up or like a champagne bottle. So that you don't just leak. You go to the bathroom and you shake it a couple of times and. Are you still, are you still stoned? I'm stoned.
Starting point is 01:38:17 I, yeah, I have an ultrasound actually. When? Next week. I'm going to have to do a gender reveal for my kidney stones. Damn. But yeah, they're going to, they're going to figure out because they're not sure if there's one that's. That's at the same places that the sex me.
Starting point is 01:38:29 Embedded. Just go two for one. Yeah. You know what? That's actually, it's similar to that except if they want to destroy the kidney stones, they have to go up there and then shoot a laser like Armageddon. Break them up and then apparently that is, they've told me that that would be leakage city afterwards.
Starting point is 01:38:43 So I'm, I'm trying to avoid that at all costs, but I think I'll be good. I think the stones are small enough. I can piss them out. All right. Two more. Hey, buff cat, PFG and honk. My boyfriend recently got laid off from his job and moved to Colorado. He broke up with me shortly after getting laid off and said,
Starting point is 01:38:58 he needed time to grow as a man. What should I say to get him to return to the northeast? And is it normal for guys to pick up and move after losing their job? Thanks. Yeah. Guys are always on the lookout for that one point in life where they can just do something. We're like, sometimes it takes kicking the ass to make any sort of move. Getting fired is the perfect opportunity to do something like that.
Starting point is 01:39:17 And plus once you go to Rado, you don't come back. Yeah. I think you gotta let him go and never, never worry about him again because he, when he said he wanted to, what was the quote? He needed time to grow as a man. He just wants to fuck. So just I find someone else who respects you and treats you the way the queen, as the queen that you are.
Starting point is 01:39:37 And when you, if you were to come back from Colorado, he wouldn't be the same. He'd be different. He'd be wearing sweaters like what Hank's wearing right now. He'd have like a flat brim hat on all the time. I like that sweater. No, it's a great sweater. I'm just saying it's a very Rado sweater. I like that sweater.
Starting point is 01:39:52 Thank you. I'll save it for firefest. What? It's been a weird day for me. Why? What happened? All right. I'll just say it early.
Starting point is 01:40:00 I got a haircut and the amount of gas that I've been receiving. Oh yeah. I made everyone clap for you. That was uncomfortable. But then, yeah. So I walked in, big guy was like, everyone clap for Hank. Which was like, you know, that was kind of funny. But then I've been walking around and everyone's like, stop me.
Starting point is 01:40:11 I mean, like, oh my God. That means your hair was terrible. Right. Yeah. Right. And no one told me. You're on the other side. Hank, I'll be real honest with your new haircut.
Starting point is 01:40:19 It's a decent haircut. It's a great haircut. Well, it's a decent haircut. The fact people are freaking out about that totally normal, decent haircut is like, wow. I really must have looked like Barb from Home Alone before. Right. Yes.
Starting point is 01:40:33 Right. All right. Last one. So you're mad that we didn't say anything. But I thought you'd kind of given up. I thought we all just couldn't go to Barbados. To be honest, I thought it was just like, you know, it's coronavirus pandemic.
Starting point is 01:40:45 Like, you were just kind of hit throwing in the towel. I was more going for like, look at my sick flow, which no one really understand. Oh, no. See, I gave it a, I was more, it's like, I'm going to give Hank space because he just doesn't care anymore. So I'm going to let him do his thing. And like, once you wore the pants into the studio,
Starting point is 01:41:00 that was really the turning point. Yeah. Rhea absolutely hated it. And I was like, no, it's cool. She's like, no, I'm not going to pretend to be nice. Like, I hate it. Yeah. And she was like, you know, proven right.
Starting point is 01:41:10 Yeah. Does Normie recognize you? Yeah, of course. You see, like, I better behave myself because my real dad's here. Yeah. The fuck up stuff dad is doing. Did he go rock hard for you? Of course.
Starting point is 01:41:20 Oh, that's been happening recently? Uh-oh. You just gave me a look like, yeah. There's, there's, you know, I've been doing some, some testing and it's like. Oh, no. Oh, no. What?
Starting point is 01:41:31 We experimented on. We've been jerking him off. No. Rhea was gone last week and the humps were like, significantly higher. So I think he just, like, it's something about a girl being around or not being around. I don't know if dogs can.
Starting point is 01:41:42 I don't know, man. Yeah. And you know, I'm just looking at this. I'm looking at the stats, the numbers, like Rhea's come home and he hasn't been humping like crazy. Rhea was gone. He was going nuts on his fucking hamburgers. So you got to be like, yo, Norm, like, that's your mom, dude.
Starting point is 01:41:55 Yeah. I just threw some porn on and he stopped. All right. Last one. Sup boys, especially Curry ruined PFT at Curry ruined. Huh? I don't know. My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year now.
Starting point is 01:42:07 Whenever he sees me, he will always say, hello my sweets and a baby boys. And I've always found it to be cute and endearing. We recently went to visit his parents. COVID safe, of course. Who cares? Well, actually we care. Yeah, don't.
Starting point is 01:42:20 Yeah, but, but, No, but who cares for this? Yeah, who cares? Like I don't. You didn't need to add that in there. I care that you do it, but I don't care that you added it in this. Upon arriving, we were greeted by his parents. What are we going to send the police?
Starting point is 01:42:33 Like, well, actually, if you send guys on chicks in recently and you haven't told us that you were COVID safe, we have sent the police to your house. Wait, so your boyfriend's dick leaks, but is he wearing a mask while it leaks? Upon arriving, we were greeted by his parents and more importantly, his childhood dog. Wait, greeted?
Starting point is 01:42:51 That seems like that wasn't safe. As the dog went to greet him, I overheard him say, hello my sweets. In the same exact tone and voice to his 12 year old border collie. I didn't pay much mind to it, but he kept saying it across the whole weekend repeatedly. Also, he didn't say it to me once while we were there. It has been bothering me ever since.
Starting point is 01:43:10 Am I like a dog to him? Should I say something or should I just let it go and forget it? No, so I think guys just have kind of two modes, stuff that you really like and stuff that you don't really like. And if it's something that you really like, you have like one go to thing. Yeah, this is actually a huge compliment. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:26 This is like, he loves you as much as he loves his dog. That's a huge compliment. It might not sound like it to you, but it actually is the nicest thing that we can ever do. If he did it to a cat, different story. But a dog, come on. Let it fly. Does he pick up your shit?
Starting point is 01:43:43 That would be a major scent move. That would be very, that would be too far, too far. All right, Billy. Alberta, Canada is the largest population in the world that is rat-free. I did know that actually. I knew that. They actually have fines too.
Starting point is 01:43:58 Yeah, no rats. Yeah, they have fines. It's like, I think someone brought a rat, like a bunch of rats and the guy had to go to jail. Yeah. That's a fucked up move. Now I'm doing Billy facts back to Billy. That's a fucked up, like going to Alberta
Starting point is 01:44:08 and bringing your own rat. Yeah, 99. 18. 8. 77. I actually got 77. The lottery machine right. No.
Starting point is 01:44:15 It didn't count. No, it doesn't count. 32. It doesn't count. I said it didn't count. No, me too, actually. Five times in a row. Eight, 24.
Starting point is 01:44:23 Eight, eight. Oh, wait. That's 99. It's 99. It's 99. Did you get that? It's 99. Did you get it?
Starting point is 01:44:30 I'm two in a row. Oh my god. No way. Holy shit. No way. No way. I always say 99. Wow.
Starting point is 01:44:39 Wait, that's not 66. Let me see that. Holy fuck. Let me see it. Let me see it. Let me see it. I mean, the line on the bottom. Line on the bottom.
Starting point is 01:44:43 Line on the bottom. Yeah. It's 99. That's 99. Wow. I'm two for two in my last two. Welcome to the club. Yeah, you did two for two, right?
Starting point is 01:44:51 No, just welcome to the club. Oh, OK. Yeah. Who's in the club? Me, Liam, Billy, and Jake. What are the odds of that? Wow. Getting two in a row.
Starting point is 01:44:59 Two in a row. Well, it's a 1 in 99. No, don't say you're stupid. This is not. Thank you. This is, I tell you what, this guy's about to get hot and gambling. This guy's about to get hot and gambling
Starting point is 01:45:10 at the right fucking time. Love you guys. I'd say anyway, today is a night and day to find you. Shying away, oh, I'll be coming for your love of faith. Shying away, oh, I'll be coming for your love of faith. Take me, take me, oh. I'll be gone after one day. Needless to say, our odds are dead.
Starting point is 01:46:13 It's about me, it's a little way. Slowly learning that life is OK. Say up to me. It's no better to be safe than sorry. Say up to me. It's no better to be safe than sorry. Take me, take me, oh. I'll be gone after two days.
Starting point is 01:46:50 I'll be gone after two days. I'll be gone after two days. Take me, take me, oh. I'll be gone in a day. I'll be gone in a day. It's part of my take presented by Barstool Sports.
