It's part of my take isn't about our sports. Welcome to part of my take presented by getroman.com slash take get ten dollars off when you choose a monthly plan. Today is Wednesday, May 4th. May the 4th be with you. And I mean, you have to say it and we have wall to wall playoff action. Holy shit, my head's spinning so many games, so many. Let's give it up, though, for Hank and PFT for the PMT sweep tonight.

Small claps, because I don't want to wake Stella. We're doing this after all the games via Zoom. It was very mean, which you just did to our favorite son, Jake. Why? Well, because he's a Panthers fan. Oh, well, well, since he recorded. Yeah. Yeah. Last night. Yeah. All right. So yeah, there we go. That's yeah, clap it up.

Everybody wins. Good job. Um, yeah, great night of playoff action. I don't even know where we want to start. I mean, should we start with basketball and go to hockey? We have a ton of hockey with biz. Yeah. Should we start with basketball?

Let's start with a let's start basketball night. I think the people want to know Hank's thoughts right now. He was the one that said he's not even thinking about the panic button. Turns out Hank was right. Turns out making 23 pointers in the game is a good thing. And you win most of those games when you're able to do that. Yes. Yeah, I was I was traveling and by the time I got to my hotel

on the front of the TV, the game was over. So that was always a nice, a nice thing to when you like, I was worried you'll hear about it coming up later on in the episode. But for my sources on the ground inside the building, they said Grant Williams locked up Yanis. So they said a million threes. Many wamping still back on. I mean, that was that would help for many wamping because like PFT said,

the cells just hit everything. Jalen Brown was incredible. Al Horford was incredible. Jason Williams, Grant Williams. Like they all, although Grant Williams did try to legitimately arm bar Pac Connitan, like he actually tried to snap his elbow in half. It was killing clinic. Yeah, yeah.

But it was that was what you expect. I mean, I think we all said it on Sunday when the Bucks won game one, we're like, this is going to be a seven games theories. Both these teams are really, really good. And you expected an answer like this from the Celtics tonight because they're a really fucking good team. And now we get to watch it like counterpunch when it goes to Milwaukee for game three, which is, I think on like Saturday, Tuesday.

Yeah, Saturday. When they said that, they're like, we'll see a Saturday in Milwaukee. I was like, wait, what day is it? Is it Thursday? That's actually insane that we have to wait that long for it. But I think what we saw in game one, like the Celtics aren't going to shoot that poorly as they did in game one. They're probably not going to shoot as good as they did tonight again in game three.

So it's like somewhere in the middle and obviously like the Bucks. I think I saw somebody tweeting about like hypotheticals about what would happen if true if if Chris Middleton had played today. And they're they're like putting in his stats of the game, his probable stats. That's a level of stat like like the deep analytics that we've reached now where you're able to run like probable simulations if Chris Middleton had played tonight. He didn't play and they got smoked.

It was just that was in itself a wamping. It's it's when you have two really good teams will get to the Grizzlies as Grizzlies had a great answer tonight as well. When you have good teams at this point in the playoffs, like it's hard. It just you always expect that answer, especially at home. And I I actually like looked at the line beforehand and I was smart enough to be like the Bucks is a total trap. Do not bet the Bucks, but I didn't have the balls to be like,

yeah, the Celtics are going to want them. But I feel like I get half credit for being like, do not bet the box. No, big cat, as someone who gambles as much as you do, you should know like that. Feel free to count that as a win. Yeah, it's straight up win. That should be worth a unit. I just didn't have the balls to pull the trigger, but I knew right away. I was like, that's pretty much the same line as Sunday.

After the Bucks beat them pretty soundly. That makes no sense. Yeah, it's like jazz music. The most important notes are the ones that they don't play. The most important bets you'll ever make are the ones that you don't put in at the last minute. Yeah. So I mean, this this is Saturday night. What is Sunday Tuesday?

Whenever Saturday, 3 30 Saturday, 3 30 in Vegas. It'll be a noon. Oh, jeez. That's early. That's early. 12 30. Yeah. Make sure you buy the fight this weekend on the zone.com slash Barstool. Make sure you buy that link. You can hear us call the fight. Hank, you feeling good now?

You feeling back? I feel good. I feel back. Like you said, you're going to hear about some of my fears. Nightmare I literally had last night. That is washed away. Many want things back on. OK. The other note I have is that I wish fucking NBA home team for white. Agreed. It pisses me off.

Agreed. But it is what it is. I like the green jerseys, though. I think the green jerseys in Boston always play. I think they play in Boston. The black ones, I don't think you should ever wear those at home. The the I think it should be. You should have two jerseys for the playoffs. And then during the regular season, you can do the alternates and that stuff.

But it's like you have your home jerseys away, jerseys. And you want your home jerseys at home away, jerseys away. Nike ruined NBA jerseys because there's like every team has 15 jerseys and they all wear like these weird jerseys. We talked about this last year. Remember when the heat we're just wearing the Pacers jerseys? Yeah, they just ruined it.

They there's each team should have at most four jerseys. The all time funniest is when you see the Knicks in the playoffs and they're wearing they're literally wearing a jersey that has Michael Jordan on it. Yeah, they're black and they wear the black jersey. The black court. That's one of the worst looks ever when the Knicks do that. Yeah, you don't get more cocked as a Knicks fan and then tuning in to watch your game or your team maybe win a playoff game.

And Michael Jordan is just staring in the face still. Gary Vee probably like sees that and he's like, I want to just shoot myself and my whole family and then go make millions. Imagine. Imagine for a second. All right. So next game, Grizzlies Warriors. Great, great answer by the Grizzlies. The Warriors shot so, so bad. It also was like the I poke cheap shot game of the century.

Everyone got their eyes poked Dylan Brooks. I think Gary Payton is probably going to be out for the rest of the playoffs. That was that the way I judge like, and I think they actually should just take this for flagrants going forward. I judge it's the only thing that you can make an analogy to pick up basketball and not sound like a douchebag. But I basically judge flagrant fouls. Would this foul start a fight in a pickup basketball game?

That one would have started a fight instantly. That's the one instantly. Not not in everyone who's played pickup basketball knows there's difference. There's there's the drawing back and forth chest to chest. These guys aren't actually going to fight. And then there's the fight that would have Dylan Brooks. What he did to Gary Payton. It was like a double whammy in the air in his back.

Terrible foul. Yeah, it was awful. That's that's literally as dirty as fouls get in basketball. I can't even think of one that's worse than like the undercut is pretty bad. But this is like this is like the undercuts evil, evil cousin. This is the wild Luigi of undercuts where you're getting the guy from the back and you hit him in the head. You know, I'm just like, yeah, I think he's got a broken elbow.

So that should be here's what they should do. Adam Silver, if you're listening, I know you pay attention to all the social media. That should be a flagrant three. That's a flagrant three. And if there's a flagrant three, here's the rule. The other team, they get to pick which one of your guys is kicked out of the game. No, I was going to say if it's flagrant three, it should not only be kicked out, you can kick anyone else out of the game,

but you should also, if you advance, you should get to pick a player of the same stat levels to then be on your team for the next round. I kind of as the guy that got hurt. Yeah, right. Right. Like he like you lost Gary Payton, Jr. You should know that you should be a warrior's confine. They can find someone in on the Grizzlies roster that has like you can maybe maybe make a rule.

It's got to be within like, I don't know, like 15 percent of their usage rate or whatever, and you get to pick that person and that person is on your team. If you advance, you could. Yeah, you could do that with the current player in the league. You could do that with someone who's entering the draft already, or you could take that player's dad. So Gary Payton comes back in place for your team in the next round. By the way, what I didn't even see it.

But was there like, were people hating on John Morant's dad? I went to look for John Morant because he got poked in the eye and I was trying to see what was happening with him. And like all the tweets, it was one of those situations we talk about with Twitter where you can't find the actual tweet like the bad tweet. All you can find is people defending against the bad tweets. So it was like, don't come at John Morant's dad. I couldn't find where like the epicenter of this started.

But that seems like an absurd thing to even start tweeting about being like, fuck, fuck this dad who's like super supportive and always there for his son. Yeah, it didn't make any sense to me. It's the one where 99 percent people are in agreement on something. We should do that. Actually, we should just pretend like somebody was talking shit about like, well, you believe all the haters out there that say that Deuce Tatum isn't that cute. Well, here's the thing we got.

I think we've said it. Maybe we haven't, but we have a live stream that we're going to do an overnight sleepover live stream that we're going to do at the end of May. And we're going to do grit week in August. So just get your plans ready. But the live stream, we got to kill a guy like we did with Tim Tim Allen last time where he's just trending when everyone wakes up. And I think we got to do that, too, where we just basically like defend someone

and get him trending and be like, why would anyone say anything bad about this person? Invent fake outrage. Who's somebody that that can never be hit? Weird. I was like, I won't let them cancel Scott Vampel. Yeah, like I was like, you you've come for a lot of people, but I will stand up and I will not let them cancel Scott. Scott didn't do anything wrong. I think if you if you gave us all truth, sir,

and we would say one night in college, we probably tried that. The context looks bad in this situation, but you have to understand the full scope of what's going on. Yeah, yeah, like I know you guys. I personally, I'm a personal friend of Scott Vampel, and I'll just say this right now. I've never known a more stand up guy in my life. This is totally out of character.

Well, I can't defend the man's actions. I know that he's better than this and he'll learn from this situation. All right, maybe not Scott, because he would get upset. But someone, someone we have to do it for. That'd be very funny. Jake Marshall. Yeah. Yeah. So Grizzly's great answer. John Morant, I like he just hovers.

I don't understand it. He he doesn't he jumps up and he just doesn't come down. He he does like six moves in the air every time he gets in the air. Ty, he's one of those players that like time moves slower when he's there. It's like him. Kyrie Irving actually is one of those guys to when they get around the basket. It's almost like they've already planned out the four things they're going to do in the air before they actually put the ball up

gently off the backboard. It's just insane. It's crazy. So that one goes to one one. Well, we should quickly talk about Jake's heat. Nice game one performance and beat out. But I mean, that's you got to take care of business, right, Jake? Yeah, Tyler here, a great game from him off the bench and still no Kyle Lowry.

So they continue to be disrespected and they continue to take care of business. I love it. Everyone's disrespecting the heat. No one picked the heat against the 76ers this series. I want I want Jake first Hank so bad. Yeah, I do too. It might that might actually be what ends the podcast. Yeah, it would be so great to watch our two bosses. Yeah, just going at it head to head.

Is your microphone taped to your stand? I know we're talking about this. Maybe it was off the air the other day. But like if you poke the top of it, like would it fall? No, I got I have it balanced using a system of the simple machines. No, no. So like, watch, tapping it right now, not falling. I've got it. I've got a wedge system.

I've got a pulley system all in one. And it's because somebody stole my mic clip, so I had to improvise. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for it. No, it's OK. You're seeing Hank. Hank's no, Hank's going to I'm going to get written up. Yeah, you're going to get written up and you're also going to probably like there will be a new mic stand at your door tomorrow morning,

but you also have to pay for it with a bill. Yeah, I actually added on overnight postage to this. That'll be coming out of your paycheck. And then the Sun's that was a classic game that if you didn't watch that game and you woke up and saw the box score, you're like, whoa, tight one. But it was just the Mavs decided to like make a furious run to try to cover the spread and the Sun's also like started playing

super, super slow at the end of the game. That wasn't really close. The Sun's handle business pretty easily against the Mavs. Yeah, I think what we've learned from from this series is the most important Suns in order for me. I've got Booker number one, eight and number two. McGee number three. Oh, Chris Paul, number four and then Crowder, number five.

OK, so let Michael Bridges, number three for me. Over McGee is deep is deep is what over Javail McGee. Yeah, his defense is incredible. Then I'll go McGee. Who is then I'll go J Crowder. Then I'll go Chris. So Chris Paul, six man of the year. There we go. Congrats, Chris.

We find listen, people say that nobody respects Chris Paul on this podcast. We just gave him the award that some said should have gone to Steph Curry. Yeah, congrats to Tyler Hero. He actually did win the award tonight. But that was that was also such a funny thing because who cares about the sixth man of the year? But I'm I follow so many people on gambling Twitter and it was so apparent that I just missed the memo that everyone before the season started

bet on him because it was the most reaction I've ever seen for six man of the year. There were just tweets all up and down my timeline being like cash those tickets. So I can't where the fuck did I miss this? What a weird thing to bet on, too. It's so funny. Speaking of which, last thing on the NBA and we'll talk hockey. LeBron coming at the voters tonight. He I'll read his tweet.

He said, Joe, so damn tough. There's no way Joe should even have been in most improved player talks. He won that award. The guy is a flat out star and always has been real basketball brains. No, not the majority of dweebs who don't even watch basketball on those voting ballots. Yeah. Well, you should also add to that that brain was the emoji for Brains. Yes, no basketball brain, not dweebs. I love LeBron James on social media, man.

It's the best. He's he's basically like living the college sorority life that he never got to because he went straight to the NBA between between his emoji game and then the egregious amount of Instagram stories that he puts up. This guy is he's no different than like a 22 year old in Tridel. It's it's incredible. And just going after the dweebs. Who do you think the dweebs?

I mean, he's probably talking about we're so low. Yeah, well, I would say probably Goldsbury too, right? Yeah. These are guys we all love. But like, you know, I think of those three guys, I think dweebs big time. Wendy, Wendy, dweeb, big time, dweeb. Who's when I love Wendy? Yeah, when Horst?

Oh, I was trying to set you up for one. Hey, I was throwing you an alley up on that one. All right, let's go to let's talk a little hockey. And then we'll go to Hot Sea Cool Throne back in studio and then biz. Also quick announcement, the PMT slot machines have launched in New Jersey. So we're doing a giveaway. If you opt in and bet a total of two hundred dollars cash, you get a PMT hoodie. PMT special opt in get risk free

wagering on PMT slots up to fifty dollars in casino bonus. They got our logo all over it. They got Larry. It's awesome. Check it out. The slots are live now in New Jersey in the Barstool Sportsbook. Part of my take slots. Who would have thought? What a world. I fucking love it. Hockey. I mean, the caps.

Let's start with the caps. There you go, PFT. They shocked the world. They shocked the world. They shocked me a little bit. You'll hear later on this episode. We talked to biz. I I'm having a hard time believing in these caps as of eight hours ago.

Right now, I'm almost fully back. I'm like seventy nine percent of the way back to declaring that these caps are different, that these caps it's our year again. It was it's I mean, it's impressive what they did. They missed Tom Wilson. He was out for almost the entire game after he scored. Somebody took a cheap shot at him, probably, which is just disrespectful. And then we we lost Carlson at the end, too.

I hope he's OK. But it was it was a great game. Like we kind of ran into a hot goalie again, but we kept going and we ended up, you know, scoring empty net or at the end. But then we were putting all the pressure on him the second, third period. So like I'm I'm dangerously close to believing again. And I yeah, I'm excited. I'm like fully excited now. I was I was bummed out going into it.

Now I'm like, you know what, we can win this series. And, you know, as good as I think the Rangers are, it would be incredible for one last penguin's cap series with these guys that have gone out so many times. You get the two bands going at it one last time. That's what I'm hoping for. But, you know, can't look ahead. Big Cat, you know that, like a one game at a time.

And it was funny, because when we do talk to Bizz, you'll hear us. Like he was talking up Florida, how good they are. I was I was having a conversation in the kitchen earlier. It was maybe yesterday talking about the Stanley Cup playoffs. Like and someone was like, yeah, it's wide open. And then they got corrected. They're like, except the caps, they're not going to win. And I was like, oh, OK, then boom, there they go.

That's the best part about hockey playoffs. Yeah. Yeah. So if there's one thing that the capitalists know how to do, it's it's to make the best regular season team in the NHL go home early. Usually do it to ourselves. But we know that we know the roadmap right now. So it's it's actually kind of refreshing to a certain extent to be like the team that is disrespected with zero expectations.

Right. What's whoever on. And here's a little Saber Matrix for you, Jake. I think you'll probably appreciate this one. The caps went on a three O run after they showed Kodak Black on the Jumbotron at the game. Wow. Wow. I guess it's bad luck charm. I don't know. I just saw. I know they've been known as the comeback cats this season.

I saw they were like thirty four, oh, and one when leading entering in the third this year. I don't I don't know if they're if they're the comeback cats. I think Kodak Black is the one that specializes in that building. Mm hmm. OK. We also had like a classic game one Penguins Rangers three over times.

Louis Deming, who the announcers just kept on saying his name because he's the back. He's the backup goalie for the Penguins that came in and shut the door on them because their starter got hurt. They just like Louis Deming, Louis Deming. What a game. But also if you're a Rangers fan. I mean, it's over. I don't want to say it's over, but it's the worst feeling.

You can't lose a triple overtime game and they got screwed. If you're watching the game in with three minutes left in the regulation, they got they scored a goal and that was called called for goalie interference. But it was very clear that the Penguins player pushed the Rangers player into the goalie and they then go to overtime three over times at home where everyone like at the end is like, you know, a drunk guy just fumbling around on the ice and they lose. I there's no worse feeling than having committing. I think it was six and a half hours.

It's made close to seven hours. No, no, no, sorry, six hours, six hours of your time, five hours, whatever it was of your time into a hockey game and coming away with absolutely nothing like the worst feeling. At least you have the like ref screwed us card. You have the NHL rig card big time because not only was that penalty very questionable, but also I think they only called one penalty in the entire game on the Penguins. So you can always go back to that and be like, we got fucked over.

It's us against the world. I feel bad for Rangers fans. I really do. Like that's it's so demoralizing to lose a double or triple overtime game in playoffs. And this is what we talked about last week on the show, which is your bodies are not ready for these long games. And to have it happen in game one, that sucks. It'll suck the soul right out of you.

And it was against the backup goalie, too. And if you're in the building, guess what? Oh, yeah, they stopped selling beer after the second period. So you have to just be sober. You're no, no, no, no, no, not hung over hung over hung over the end of this game. Yes. Yes. No, they need to change the rule. I know Fidelberg, our colleague always has ahead of it. He has overtime insurance peers when it gets to the third period of a playoff game.

Which is genius. He just loads up and he's then at the end, if it doesn't go to overtime, he just has to chug them. But who the fuck cares? Some teams should figure out a way like, I don't know if you have to prove that you didn't drive to the game, but like, figure out a way to keep serving beer into overtime because you lose your home like advantage because everyone's exhausted and hung over and cranky.

Yeah. So just sneak a flask into the game. That's all you have to do. And say, yeah, overtime flask. And then the one of the funniest moments of the night. And then we'll we'll go to Hot Sea Cool Throne. The avalanche just shit pumped the predators and our good friend, the boy, Taylor Luan, who, by the way, Taylor and Will are hopefully going to be coming to the office next week.

Will texts me, we're going to have both of them on, which would be great. But the predators tweeted to two zero. And he just quote treated and said, Nashville, hockey town. And the predators were like, no, no, no, we're down to zero. And by the time they had replied, they were down three zero. And then like two minutes later, they're down four zero. I think the first period was five, nothing avalanche. And it was just like, it happens so I mean, it happened like an avalanche.

It was just so great for him to just have to like sit there and be like, wait, fuck, what, what happened? I thought we were up to nothing. Like I caused this I caused it was the most dangerous lead in hockey. But the other way around, because that's why he needs to be at these games. Well, I'm going to, I'm going to defend them here. It if you're down to zero, you need to say zero to. Yeah, it was it was the official team account.

They tweeted out to zero. Yeah, that's not the right nomenclature. Correct. That's not what you're doing. You don't say you're down zero to put. You feel like it's nothing to zero. You'd say to nothing them to bad guys. Right. But it just said to zero. So Taylor's like, oh, fuck, right.

To zero. No, you have to do zero to your team. Your team's score goes first. Yes, it's only in tennis. What? You never talk. You never talk to a friend and be like, oh, we're down zero to always. Yes. We're down to. Yeah. Like we just lost. We just lost the game 14 to 17.

Yes, it's true. Oh, yeah. I guess from an analysis standpoint, whenever somebody on TV or the radio is saying that they always lead with the winning score, right? Yeah, they say the teams. Yeah. Yeah. Or they'll say like the predators are trailing to nothing. Yeah. Right. But yeah, I think we should just normalize always saying your team first,

no matter what, like, I don't know if you guys saw, but the Cubs lost one to three tonight and there was a fight in the bleachers and the guys were so gassed out. It was it was literally slow motion in real life. You know what my favorite part of that fight was? I don't know if you caught this, but there's a guy in the background and he's politely asking the old dude to stop kicking the other guy in the head and he's wearing a positive vibes only hat. Well, he's. Yeah, I mean, that's that's those are our guys.

And and also I like Bill Burr yelling twist his dick. So it was literally Bill Burr's doppelganger. I don't know what it would be, voice doppelganger, doppelganger. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if there's a name for it. It's fucking 1245 in the morning. OK, anything else? Great night. Great night of sports.

Anything? What else you got? We have such things in the Yankee game. Sorry. Yeah, yeah. They they hit a home run. Aaron Judge hit a home run and the guy in the outfield for the Blue Jays caught it and then he handed it calmly to the young man behind him. There was there was a national around. And then John Sterling on the call was like, and that'll be out number three.

Yeah, yeah, that and look at that father giving his son a baseball. There was one person who quoted you, though, on their timeline. It was that video. And then me tweeting about the Cubs fight in the bleachers. And it was like Canada versus US. And I was like, yeah, I'd take US in this. Like, do you see that fight? That was awesome.

Those guys were in the they were literally in the hallway in inception fighting. Like it was fucking sick. The I think it was an official team account of the Blue Jays tweeted out like a young Yankees fan is crying in the outfield as a Blue Jays fan hands him a home run ball. And I got so excited reading the first part of the sentence to see like just a weeping Yankee fan kid out there. And then it's like, oh, no, they're just being Canada.

Nice. Yeah, too nice. Oh, what do you think? You think you think that you think that that would happen in the Bronx? They fucking throw the ball off your face. They throw the kid into the outfield. If I would give it to a Blue Jays fan, if he if a Vlad Jr. home run, we don't want you in the Bronx Zoo. Fine.

Not bleacher creature. One more thing, just as a public service reminder to any anyone in the D.C. area, because the Capitol scored in the last minute, you get free McNuggets tomorrow. Don't forget that. It was a nugget minute. Huge could have could have used one more goal for the over, but whatever. I would be nicer than the McNuggets. It almost happened.

OK, let's get the hot seat cool drone. Then we got biz and biz staying on for guys on chicks. OK, before we get to hot seat cool throne, we are presented by our friends at Chevy. Chevy Silverado. It's the strongest, most advanced, dependable, hardworking, everything that you can think of that you need in a truck Chevy provides. It's the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever. You might not think you're a truck person, but you really are.

There's nothing better than driving a truck in the summertime, hauling wood, tailgating, taking the boat to the lake. All of it is done with the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever. Also, we are still running our deal. If you go to a Chevy dealership and you whisper in the salesperson's ear and say PMT or take, they will give you $100 off. A free cup of coffee, full tank of gas. That is the part of my take guarantee with the Chevy Silverado.

The strongest, most advanced Silverado ever. You want this truck. It's advanced, dependable and hardworking, just like you. Again, if you don't think you're a truck person, you probably are. You just don't know it yet. And there's only one truck for you. It is the Chevy Silverado, the greatest truck ever created. Check it out now, the new Chevy Silverado, the most advanced Silverado ever.

OK, hot seat, cool throne. We're back in the studio. We have biz coming up. We are where everyone's flying everywhere. Billion and Hank are about to board a flight. So that's why we started the show on Zoom. And we're going to do guys on chicks with biz in a second as well. Hank, hot seat, cool throne.

So this is before Hank knows if he's down to or not. So if he sounds happy and then with the start of the show was down, that is why. Can I just say something? I'm concerned. I literally had a dream. Oh, no. I had a dream of Celtics loss and I was pissed off. Like I woke up pissed off and then I was like, wait, it's one nothing still. OK. So I don't. So we'll see. I mean, this will be interesting

because the start of the show, we know the answer. That's very Marcus smart of you to like wake up pissed off because of something that hasn't happened yet. Yeah, I woke I was it was it was weird. It was like my alarm went off early and then I went back to sleep. You know, when you go back to sleep for like 30 minutes, you have the most insane dreams. Yes. And then you wake up like what the fuck just happened and they're very vivid.

I woke up like pissed off. How did you lose the game? I don't remember. I don't. It's inception. You don't really remember the specific details. Paul obviously isn't like for you then. Well, if you were if it was, you would dream the actual place. I break down the film of my dreams. Yeah, got it.

Well, speaking of hot seats, my hot seat is John Sterling. Yeah, I think this is a bit at this point, actually, because I don't know if you guys have seen and they're funny videos, but it's like a meme format. It's like the juice ball era was crazy where they just show clips of like home runs, but it'll be someone bunting and then it cuts to it turning into a home run. Yeah, I thought that this was happening with John Sterling,

where people were like video shopping, editing, making a wrong call. But I think it was real. No, it was very real. And it was totally for the third time. It wasn't even close. Well, no, he's blind. Here's what I'm going to say. He's blind in his defense.

John Carlos should have thrown the ball back in because it was confusing that he didn't. It was also really did. It was extra confusing that the lady in the booth was like, Susan Waldman was put the call on this respect. That's very disrespectful. What the call? Roger Rogers in the box. I remember that of all the dramatic things I've ever seen.

That's really I didn't grow up like like watching the Yankees on TV or listen to on the radio. So but but she was like the ball didn't go out. She was like she has to like walk him through the calls now. It's like he has a seeing eye dog. Jake, what? I mean, what do you put the call in? This one, two. Swung out in the air to right.

Back goes Stanton on the track, a wall leaping and she is gone. It is a home run. Oh, they're all waiting and why are they waiting? Because Stanton caught the ball and coming off the field is Chapman. Stanton never threw the ball back in. No, Stanton just rocked Chapman of a home run. Wow, what a play by by Stanton. So that was the call.

Giancarlo Stanton made a great catch at the warning track all at the wall. Jake, this is a legend of the game. He's your hero, I'd imagine. One of them. What are you going to do? It's time to take him out back and shoot him in the face. No. Metaphorically. It may.

Maybe. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yes, yes. I think his contract's up at the end of this year. He needs to he needs to he needs to quickly like make the decision so he can say that he's retiring and everyone can just pre he preys on him so that he doesn't have to deal with like what's going to probably happen a few more times. He needs the retirement tour. Yeah, is what he he is actually somebody who is in need of retirement.

Correct to turn turn all the negatives into positives this year. With the lockout, we're not even a month into the season. Yeah, I know it's it's it's bad, Jake. It's it's going to get worse. I'm not saying he needs to step down or retire. But but probably just shouldn't be doing play by play. That's it. By the way, it's not me.

No, that's as close as Jake will get to saying he needs to step down or retire him literally saying I will not say that. Jake, you know, you need to do Jake is you need to create a correct call account for him where because, I mean, there are a lot of calls in a baseball game. Yeah. So you should just tweet out everything he gets correct. He's probably 99.9 percent. Right. Maybe. Right.

It's just no, probably not. Definitely not. No chance. And now also, every time I see a clip and hear his voice, I'm like, what hilarious thing is about to happen? So yeah, it's it's getting it's like late Francesa, where it's like you become a parody of yourself. It becomes more clicks. Yeah, but it's true.

People remember it. We'll remember this was hilarious. Oh, he's very funny, but I don't think Francesa in the end was funny. But then he also was so funny, then he made them take down the Funhouse account, which was like posting all the clips like he was so mad that people were roasting him that he was like, he like got it taken down. Right. Francesa was funny for everyone.

Just like John Sterling is funny for everyone. But I don't think Francesa was happy that he was being mocked. I don't think John Sterling is happy he's being mocked. Now, he's a very nice guy. Oh, I'm sure a great guy. Do the Yankees play? Do the Yankees play the Phillies this year? Because I actually think the Castellanos could end John Sterling's

career on an incorrect drive to left field. Oh, I feel like the East always plays the East. So probably or at least they always play the Mets. It's it's bad, Jake. You got it. You got to have a statement ready to go. Me? Yeah. Yeah, this is on you. It's on behalf of the profession.

Yeah, it's absolutely on you. You're not only like you stand up for journalists, but you're also a Yankee fan. So OK, Hank, your cool throne. My cool throne. I have a couple. First one is the Met Gala. Mm hmm.

I know you guys are galani acts. Huge. Yeah. Galaxy. So I'm just curious, you know, what your favorite looks. Who was who was the winner? Blake Lively. Blake Lively is a vibe. The Statue Liberty dress.

Actually, Blake Lively. I think the woman yelled it's a moment, which was very funny. It's giving me. Yeah. I heard Eric Adams ended gun violence. He put a stop gun violence on the back of his jacket, the mayor of New York City.

So that's it for that. No one's ever going to get shot again. And a fellow ended racism. He ended gun violence. Now, what is the Met Gala? We figured out what happens inside the Met Gala. We've been working on this for about, what, five years? Fundraiser for the Met Gala.

Yeah. OK. It's just rich people just showing off how rich they are. I kind of, I like the Met Gala for that reason. It does give us like one moment a year for us to be like, look at these absurdly out of touch rich people. Yeah. It's almost like cartoonish.

Yeah. People get very upset about it. I like the people that get upset about people that don't follow the trend or whatever the theme is. Oh, what was the theme? Nice dress, but not the right theme. What was the theme? Being rich.

Jared Leto, that was a look. So it turns out it wasn't him. Oh. It was someone else. Either way, I think, yeah. I thought the same thing. Yeah. The Met Gala, something else, something else.

Kardashian Slade. Frederick Robinson. Robertson. Robertson, OK. Then my other cool throne was academics because James graduated. Yes. Yeah.

Congrats, James. Congrats, James. Inspirational. What a scholar. That could be me one day. Need him on the show, but good job, James. Congratulations. Unbelievable, unbelievable accomplishment.

He did, it did was, look. Anyone who goes to the NFL is like, I'm going to keep going to school when I'm making millions. Deserves all the credit in the world. I would not do that. That's what I'm saying. Yeah.

And well, yeah, you just got a job at Barstow and dropped out of college. Right. Right. Like, yeah. It's crazy. How does it live? Yeah, I know.

So it's crazy that these guys, like anyone who finishes college after making millions, they deserve all the credit in the world. That's what Hank always says. Now the CEO, he says, fuck your business degree. You don't need that. Yeah. You know who also didn't graduate college?

Kobe Bryant. Dwight Howard. Well, Bron. Michael Scott, yeah. KG. All right, Pifty, your hot seat cool. I just looked this up. The theme for the Met Gala this year was the Gilded Age,

which is just, yeah, just rich people. Rich people from a different time. Yeah, let's pretend that we were rich back when rich people had it even better than they have it today. Yeah, time traveling is rich people to other rich people. When was the Gilded Age for those I might not know? The Gilded Age, when everything was gold. Yeah, I think it was around the turn of the century, maybe.

No? 1870 to 1900. OK, that's close. Yeah, that's turn of the century. OK, Pifty, your hot seat cool. OK, my hot seat is Hugh Jackson because the NFL just conducted an investigation to Hugh Jackson's claims that he was paid to throw games.

And they concluded that, no, it's literally impossible to tell whether or not Hugh Jackson was intentionally losing games or if he was just being Hugh Jackson. Since there's such a big body of work behind him to establish the fact that this is what Hugh Jackson does. That's tough. It's like the lines are so blurred between being shitty and throwing games, we can't make a decision here.

Yeah, there's not a jury in the world that would convict Hugh Jackson of doing anything intentionally, much less losing games, which is what he would normally do. Poor Hugh Jackson. But Hugh Jackson did succeed in what Hugh Jackson does best, which is getting his name in the news for like three weeks. Well, all he has to do with that is just text Mike Silver. That's true.

He's got, yeah, he's got a pretty big. It's like pleading insanity. It's like Hugh Jackson. He's just charged with being Hugh Jackson. Right. You can't charge him with incompetence. Yes. My hot, excuse me, my cool throne is unknown substances

in your workout supplements, because that's what Deodor Hopkins is saying happened to him. He's, he got suspended for six games next season, which is going to be the first six games of the year. Remember when I said on Thursday night, there's something weird going on. Something weird going on. I did say that, did I not?

I was like, there's something weird going on, the fact that getting all these receivers, they have Deandre Hopkins. We were trying to figure out if Hopkins was going to be hurt going into next season. Turns out he's just going to be out going into next season. And so he's working hard to find out how this could have possibly happened.

And his defense, it looks like it's, it's landing on like, well, I tested, I tested negative in October and I tested negative in December. So how is it possible that I could have tested positive in November of last year? So his team is, is working very diligently. Was it three different steroids? Dude, I'm telling you that never added up

cause I saw Albert Brewer wrote something after he got suspended being like it was like the absence was why they pursued all these wide receivers and did these, all these strategies. I felt it. I don't know what, again, I thought I didn't say it was PEDs, but I felt something was up. I thought maybe the injury wasn't healing that fast.

Either way. That's what it sounded like to me. It makes sense now. They just got like a bunch of fast dudes. It makes total sense, but he was saying like, he's taking a holistic approach to his recovery, which means he was probably taking all sorts of shit from weird yoga moms.

He was probably doing like the herbal thing that has like all the, the goop. He was doing the Gwyneth Paltrow recovery. And I don't think that she labels her products correctly. Yeah, Billy. Thoughts Billy, steroids. He was recovering from a knee injury. He was probably using some sort of HGH or something

to help heal it. By accident. Allegedly. The HGH that got slipped into Gwyneth Paltrow's candle. I think you should be able to use steroids for injuries. That part should be legal. I don't understand why HGH isn't legal yet. I feel like we've had enough studies on it where.

Classify as an injury. Surgery. Any type of surgery, you can use HGH for like a month. HGH can mess up your pituitary gland and also increase risk of cancer. If you have a tumor or any cancerous cells, it'll increase cancer production. Yeah, I don't know anything about HGH,

but I'm just gonna take a wild guess that the drug that makes you feel young and strong again probably has some side effects. That's usually how life works. Yeah, like. Anything that's awesome actually sucks. Yeah, anything that gives you the ability to turn back time is just gonna kill you sooner.

I was thinking about that the other day. Name one thing that's good that people love that isn't actually bad for you. Exercise. No, you can get hurt. We don't love it. Playing sports, that's fun. Get hurt.

You can get hurt. Sometimes you won't get your degree for five years. I like to walk. You like walking? Yeah, I do. I walk. Actually, Big Cat does make us walk around a lot. I walk.

I love walking. No, you don't. Dude, look at my fucking Fitbit. I'll show you my steps. You don't remember when we first moved to New York and every time we'd wanna go somewhere. Yeah, because getting in cabs is crazy. So that's getting in cab or let's take a subway.

No, I'm public transportation. But Big Cat, you're like, oh, it's only 20 minutes. Let's just walk. Yeah, walking is the best. You control your own destiny. You don't have to deal with Ubers or trains or anything. You are your own transportation. Walk.

There you go, that's your answer. All right, my hot seat is Ball Sacks because Luca got hit in the Ball Sack on Monday night by Jay Crowder and that is like, just off the top of my head, like the 15th nut shot we've had in the NBA playoffs. You saw Robert Williams got, Robert Williams, he almost died.

Yeah, they had to cut to commercial break because he like fell down on center court. I was like, oh my God, is he dead? And then he came back and he's like, no, he's got hit in the nuts. It's also very funny because I had, I tweeted like, oh, Robert Williams got that like deep in his belly feel and some verified Twitter account,

woman retweeted me as like, is this real? And it was like 150 replies of dudes being like, yes, very real. Like it's just very funny. Women don't realize that childbirth is not that hard when you've gotten hit in the nuts and your like balls feel like they're gonna explode and your stomach feels like it's gonna like cave

inside of itself. It's an immediate reaction. Much worse than a period. Much worse. It completely debilitates you. Much worse. It's like having like all of your periods at once. So he, so, but this has been like a, it's not a,

yeah, it's a pandemic because everyone's just kicking each other in the balls. I really do think the NBA like what would, Adam Silver is probably the number one commissioner to listen to the fans and like do things that the fans want to do to make the sport more fun. If you get a flagrant one, you should get to kick the guy in the, in the balls back

in center court. How awesome would that be for fans? To kick them. Yeah. Well, that's what happened last night. J Crowder kicked Luka Donch. It's in the nuts. So I feel like when we were growing up,

did some people wear cups when they played basketball? No. Never. Absolutely not. I think it happened in like the 90s. No. I think that there was a moment where they wore cups. No.

That sounds like you wore a cup playing basketball. No, I never wore a cup playing basketball. I'm saying like, I'm saying like professional athletes. No. Cups in general are just an awful invention is what I'm getting at because like, if you've ever been hitting the nuts when you wear a cup, it's a different type of hurt.

It actually, it hurts kind of the same, but it hurts a little bit more. Well, if it's, if it hits dead on your, there are like, see, I'm playing baseball. You've definitely had a moment where it's hit the cup like perfectly and it's like, ooh, nothing happened. That was awesome.

That's a great feeling. The catcher. Yeah. The catcher. That's really the only position that I think should wear a cup. But yeah, we needed a new rule to deter this happening, which I mean, you telling me that you wouldn't like,

be a little extra excited to go to a game, being like tonight I might see a guy just get smoked in the nuts. What if we went the other way? Like Jackass. So Jackass in the NBA. It is, it is funny to see whenever it happens. It gives all of us a nice little laugh.

If it happened more, that would almost be better. What if it was like, almost broke up this podcast? Yeah. Yeah, it's true. If you get hit in the nuts, then it's not a foul. The penis is not a part of the body. Yeah, that would be bad.

Cause then Traymond would just like, he would just be grabbing dude's dicks. Deli Hall of Famer. All right. My cool throne is Reds fans. The Reds are, let me see what their record is. It's actually 3 and 19.

3 and 19. They might have, they're on pace to have the worst record ever. I don't know if that's actually true, but 3 and 19 is so, so bad. And they're trying to lose. And a Reds fan posted yesterday saying, during the Friday, May 6th game against the Pirates,

I will be scaling the wall to defecate in the bed of the Toyota Tundra. If anyone can take photos of me, I'd appreciate it. Also, if anyone's down to also shit in the bed of the truck, meet me under the smokestacks in the top of the fourth inning, cheers. I just like that Reds fans are fighting back.

This is how you fight back. This is how democracy works guys. Get out on the streets, make a stink about it. I do, I kind of in a weird way, respect what the owner of the Reds said. Think that they're scumbags, but they said, like when the fans were having an outcry before the season started,

they said, well, what are you gonna do? Go watch a different team. No, you live in this neighborhood. You're gonna come to our games and you're gonna like it. At least they're being honest because I think that there are a lot of baseball owners that are intentionally not trying to win games and they have that mentality of like,

we're the only game in town, you have to come see our games. At least by him saying this, they're being honest and maybe it will make people go shit in their trucks. And I'll go one further. I hadn't thought about this until right this second when you said that, that you respect his honesty even though they're being dickheads.

I wouldn't be surprised if they saw the Bengals go to the Super Bowl and they're like, people are in a good mood, we can be real fucking assholes right now. Yeah, we can get away with it. They're just excited about the Bengals. We can get away with it, yeah. The town's happy in general.

Right, like so we can get super-villain. We'll use the Bengals' wake and just be complete assholes because it's like the only time that they can't complain about the Bengals. Yeah, that is super-villain shit. But yeah, the Reds, three and 19 is insane. The next closest team is the Royals seven and 14. But three and 19, what does that work out to, Jake?

Quick math. I think I saw on pace for 22 and 140. Oh my God. Holy fuck. Oh my God. Oh my God. That's, yeah, I just did it, yeah, it's 22 wins. There has to be a minor league team

that could get more than 22 wins in a season, right? I'll do you one further. The Savannah bananas probably could. Dude, yeah. Hold on, I saw a tweet the other day. There's a Mexican team that could absolutely fucking beat them because it was, it was basically the entire top of the lineup was guys who have played in the MLB

and guys who recently played in the MLB, they absolutely could beat the Reds. What? I'm looking for it. Phil Buster. And they have some like good veterans on their team too. I think they're dealing with injuries. They have Tommy Pham, you've heard of him, Mike Moustakis,

Joey Vado still there. I don't know. Yeah, I mean- Bring back Adam Dunn. Yeah, bring me, yeah, the big donkey. Get all the old guys back. Chris Sabo back, Eric Davis. I bet you like a Reds legends team

could probably get more than 22 wins. Yeah, I mean, that's so, so bad. 22 wins. Just imagine being the guy that picked them to make the World Series. Did you? Yeah, you never know. It's a long season.

I picked the Mariners, I think they're in first. That's never gone bad for them. Well, they'd be buying or selling at the trade deadline, the Reds. That's interesting because they don't really have anyone to sell really. Well, they're also doing- Do you want Joey Vado's corpse?

They're doing the thing where if fans show up with trash bags on their head or like kind of shirts that are making fun of the team, they like kick them out. Well, that's what happens. If you don't let people exercise their first amendment rights to show up with bags on their heads,

they're just going to go further and take a shit in your Toyota Tundra. Yes. All right, here it is. I found it. Top five hitters in the Monclova lineup were Keon Brockston, Josh Redick, Addison Russell, Chris Carter and Pablo Sandoval.

They're better than the Reds. Yes. Easily. It's so crazy. They should just, that's fucking insane. All right, Billy. My hot seat is Quebec. There's a bunch of polar bears that are surrounding Quebec

and they had to shoot one recently. Just interesting that there's polar bears invading a city. Like they're teaming up, like they're laying siege to the city. There's a bunch of polar bears just like Roman and Quebec. And cahoots with the truckers. They might be.

This is like Freedom Riders, like King's Landing all over again. Exactly. Damn. And my cool throne is Minnesota and Canada. The reason why they can't land good free agents to make their hockey teams good is because of taxes. That's why I found out.

Also all time scumbag move by that Minnesota player last night. As a wild fan and watching the first game, I might as well just rip that ticket up and fucking throw it in the trash. Yeah, let's save that. Let's bring it up with biz, but it was an all time scumbag move. We'll get his take on it.

Jake, your hot seat, cool throne. My hot seats, Charles Barkley. He doesn't know how to tie a tie. I don't know if you guys saw this video from a- How is that possible? He wears a tie literally every day. Yeah, Ernie Johnson corrected him. The skinny part was longer than the thick part.

And Ernie Johnson called him out last night. Whoa. Did he have it like tucked into the bodies? Yeah, I think it's because of where he was sitting. You couldn't really tell unless he called it out. So. There are certain things, like as maybe we can do it as a Mount Rushmore

in a month or two, but like that you have to be able to know how to do as a man. Otherwise it's like throwing a baseball, tying a tie, changing a tire. You don't have those. I'll be honest. I didn't learn how to tie a tie until senior year of college.

Really? Yeah. Until I consistently had to start wearing sneakers. And we're just talking regular time. Bow tie, fuck bow ties. No, no. Billy actually tied my bow tie the other day. You clip on a bow tie.

Are you the thing where it's got the strap that goes around and you buckle it in? Dude, that- If you get like the legit bow tie that's weird. Jake, you never had to take like a class that wasn't a class at Syracuse? We didn't have to start dressing up until like senior year we weren't on camera.

Jake, can you remind me? As much. When we're all back next week, can we got to make a video that just is simply how to tie a bow tie? I don't know how to do that. No, I know, but just have us being like, please subscribe to Pardon My Take.

Cause I feel like the how to tie a bow tie videos always get the most, like that's immediately what people do because no one knows how to tie a bow tie. It should be a documentary of us walking to men's warehouse, purchasing one of the bow ties that you clip on and just saying subscribe to Pardon My Take. Yes, yes.

Billy did a good job. Sneaky is not that hard. Yeah, but you also, I mean, you, you needed a, like we pulled up how to do it. But it was a lot simpler than I thought it would be. Yeah, I still, I just give up right away with bow ties. All right, Jake, you're on. Also speaking of reminders, did you have to mine yesterday?

Yeah, Jeffery Tubin. So we have to jerk off with Jeffery Tubin? Yeah. The whole group has to just reach out to him. If I were to guess, If I were to guess it- The group had to jerk off with Jeffery Tubin. It was a year ago when Jeffery Tubin came back on CNN

and they did that interview where they were like, so you, so you masturbated on a Zoom call and he was like, yes, yes, I did. And I think at that point we're like, we need to, we need to jerk off with Jeffery Tubin. So should I tweet him right now? I'd be like, hey, Jeff, you down to jerk off with me and the boys?

And that's what you guys wanted. I've got some time. Bring a cookie. Yeah. Wait, someone has to do it. Let's just figure out who has to tweet it from their personal accountant. I can't put any context because it has to be

till you wait, we wait till tomorrow morning when people get to this part of the show. Let's do a ball game. Okay. Ball game. What are we gonna do? Closest to it has to tweet at Jeffery Tubin. Okay.

Closest to it. And it- Yes. Yeah. He's gonna complain about TNT, but yes. We should recreate that viral video where it's like, are you watching porn alone? And then it's like, no, with my boys.

Okay. Yes. Yes. We'll include this. So he's about to sit down. And then we'll get to biz and we'll do the ball game with biz and he's got to tweet it. That would be, oh man, if he loses.

My cool throne is umpires admitting they were wrong. Umpire in the Mets game, Chad Fairchild. He went up to the picture and he's like, my be. And this is timely because Joe S obviously didn't admit he was wrong about it. Admits he's never wrong. Yeah. Yeah.

He like, he looked at him, made eye contact and gave the pat to the belly. The universal sign. So we should give the spotlight to umpires who do well. Agreed. The only poop on the ones who make bad calls. The only problem with that, Jake, is if you admit that you're wrong one time,

you have to admit that you're wrong every other time. Right. That's true. You can't take, like that's why I kind of in a weird way appreciated Joe West's response, which is never give in, never back down. I won't snitch on myself. If the call was correct in my heart,

it can't be incorrect on the field. Exactly. That's essentially what Joe West said. He said, feelings are never wrong. It's the opposite of Ben Shapiro. Yeah. Shout out to this umpire who admitted he was wrong. Listen, feelings don't care about your facts

if you're Joe West. So good. All right. Let's get to our good friend, Paul Bissinette. Okay, before we get to biz, very, very important. Saturday night, Dizon and Barstool Sports are partnering together for an exclusive broadcast of the Canelo vs. Beavall fight this weekend,

Do you go by Wayno? Just got off a Zoom call with Wayno. He is fired up. He says he feels like he's playing in these NHL playoffs. That's how pumped he is for our first playoff broadcast which starts Thursday. On TNT. Right, because ESPN started.

Thank you so much, Billy Football, who just got me a glass of water. Great assistant you have here. Do you call him Wayno? Yeah, I call him Wayno. That's cool. Yeah, you know. So, BizNasty are spitting chiclets.

They got coverage of all hockey playoffs, best hockey podcasts in the world. That's not even up for debate. He's here in studio. So, Biz, we want to talk playoffs. We have to do something though first. So, do you remember that guy on CNN? Jeffrey Tubin, the legal analyst who got caught jerking off

on Zoom. Yeah, I heard the story. So, for some reason, we decided last year, yesterday, he came back to CNN. So, a year ago in a day. And we told Jake, in a year's time, write down a reminder that we should all see if Jeffrey Tubin wants to jerk off. You know, have like everyone jerk off on their own,

but like as a group kind of thing. Okay. Like on Zoom. Yeah, not in the same room as each other. We're not sick of it. But you guys can see each other from the waist up. Yeah, ideally. Eye contact only.

So, we decided that someone in this room has to tweet at Jeffrey Tubin and be like, hey, Jeff, you down to jerk off. Well, you have the most followers, so it should be you for sure. No, no, no, no, hold on. Did I pass you? Yeah, yeah, for sure.

How many do you have? You had like a million in like 1998. I just, I'm not as active as I used to be. I just like, I don't like, I got, I just. You were like the first milli hockey player. Yeah, but I also used to just go crazy on it, and tell people to fuck off and suck on my ball bag. And like, I didn't give a shit what I was.

You can tweet Jeffrey Tubin. All right, so you're in this. The loser has to say, hey, Jeffrey Tubin, wanna jerk off with me and the boys. The last guy to come, is that the loser? No, I think we're all winners. It's not about, it's not a competition. It's just camaraderie.

Well, you just said the loser. How have the rules been established as to you would lose this competition? Or because the person who would lose the competition has to be the one that initiates the jackoff session. So it's ping pong balls. It's totally random. We're guessing ping pong balls.

The loser of the ping pong ball, so the person who's closest to the number that comes up, has to tweet, hey, Jeffrey Tubin, you wanna jerk off with me and the boys, and can't talk about it until tomorrow when this show comes out. I'm not doing that. Why? You might not lose.

For whatever reason, what if TNT's like, why are you asking the dude? Actually, no, that means he's my, technically my co-worker, because I work for TNT. Is that why you guys brought this up? That's what he did initially. He jacked off in front of his co-workers.

Biz, guess number one. You can guess number one. There's like, what are the chances you get number one? I'll put, I'll say 99. Do you wanna say 99? Yeah. All right, so get memes in here, because he's got all of our numbers.

We texted memes. This is fucking, I guarantee this is rigged. Look at Billy football. He has no clue what's going on. Here's the number. Are you wearing the same outfit as yesterday? Yes, he is. Who's up second?

No, we all texted our numbers over. So memes has them all. So someone's gonna lose. I wanna get up and see this machine, because I think you guys are gonna try and fuck me. Are you picking 99 and on our way? Oh no, it's 87. Oh no.

Who's closest memes? What were the numbers? Billy. No, no. Billy did 69? That means biz is closest. 99. Wait, closest has to do it?

Yeah. Oh, I thought it was farthest away. No. This game sucks. Do you wanna do farthest away and do one more spin? No, I wanna get on to moving to questions about hockey, not me tugging off on a Zoom call with my coworker. All right, one more spin furthest away.

That's fair. One more spin furthest away. All right. So if it's, now if it's like two, you're gonna lose. I'm gonna say 67. 11, who's furthest away? Billy. Also biz.

Billy is. Oh, I changed my number. I changed my number. Too bad, Billy. Tweet it out, buddy, do something around here. Other than fucking play tummy sticks with the liver king. I don't think your mic's on. You're just a lot of sorts.

How can we can change his number? Yeah, we let him, because he's our guest. Okay, I'll tweet it out. All right, so tweet it out. We don't want this to get fired. Yeah, tweet it out. Well, I might get fired. No, no, you'll get fired.

From what? You don't even have a job. Tweet it out. Just tweet it as simple as possible. Hey, Jeffrey Tubin, you wanna jerk off with me and the boys. We're paying you in bone marrow from now on, now that your buddy's at the liver kick. What I love about this developing Billy versus Biz rivalry

is like a year ago we tried to get Billy to fight Biz and Billy was like, no, no, who kicked my ass. Now Biz really wants to do it and Billy has been talking like he will fight you. And rough and rowdy, I think there was an official challenge thrown down. My whole theory is, is I don't think I wanna fight somebody or I know I don't wanna fight somebody

who it's not like a genuine hate. And I just can't hate Billy. He's just too likable of a guy. We have a lot of- Spend a little time around him. You know, I like it the way it is right now. I like the relationship of when I see him just when I come here to get interviewed

and we don't really communicate that much. I'm saying have him travel with you. Have him shadow you for a week and you guys will fight. Maybe we should actually make a bet between podcasts. We got the Florida Panthers and then because you guys are a capitals podcast, whoever wins that first round series. Nope.

And if we lose, maybe we send Grinnelli as your guys assistant for a week. Nope. No bet, okay. All right, so let's talk hockey. Let's talk hockey. Thank God. Let's do it.

Let's talk hockey. What do you have on the line this year because I know you're wearing a Maple Leafs jersey off a awesome 5-0 drubbing of the back to back champs. Of the lightning. They didn't look ready to play. Rumor has it that some of the Tampa Bay Lightning, they were out in Toronto on Saturday.

What? Getting after it, maybe trying to get their peckers wet. I don't know who, I don't know who, but they looked like they were very sluggish. It looks like they didn't take Toronto seriously at all in game one in Toronto. And Toronto came out with their eye on the prize. They know what's at stake.

And I said going in, they need to look at this from like a David versus Goliath standpoint. And they got to put all their chips on the table and they did that in game one. I expect a massive, massive push from Tampa in game two here. But if Toronto can lock it up in game two and go back down to Tampa up 2-0, I think they're sitting pretty in order to knock off the champs.

And my main point about the Tampa Bay Lightning, I just think they're fucked out. You know when you've just been fucking all night long and finally it's 6 AM and the sun's coming up and you're like, I'm blowing dust. They went back to back, man. They did a bubble championship. That's a lot of games.

A lot of games, a lot of hockey. A lot of like, your central nervous system can only handle so much, right? And then on top of that afterward, they're fucking crushing 60,000 boudlates for the next month. So your body can only handle so much. So I think that the Tampa Bay Lightning are done. So how does that work?

When a team goes to like a playoff road game and they've got two nights, so you said they went out on Saturday night. The game was on Monday night. Does that, do they usually stay in like those two nights? Or is it like, I can understand being like, hey guys, let's not go out and get mangled the night before the game.

But I feel like two nights before, most teams would probably do that, right? I would, first of all, I just, I heard it from a little birdie, you know, a little chirp chirp. I don't know if it's exactly true, but two nights before, even regardless, if it's playoff hockey, you're staying in, you're putting one, your belly button around 11,

then your lights out. That's it. That's it. Nice little ambi and cocktail and good night, Jim Kite, right? All right, so the Leafs, so could it come home? Could it go to Canada?

Cause I bet heavy Calgary, a little bit less than heavy Tampa, and then after that, Edmonton. So I have all three teams, but like, tell me, which one of those three teams has the best chance? I would probably put, I would probably actually put Calgary

maybe a little bit ahead of Toronto, especially given their first round matchup, although much like Edmonton and LA, I haven't given LA the respect they deserve. Calgary has drawn Dallas. Dallas has a one-line team. They got good goal-tenning, a good back end, but they're fucking boring to watch.

Their fans are hardcore down there in the Big D. But they had that magical run a few years ago where they just kind of found a way and put it together with guys like Jamie Ben and Tyler Sagan, who I'm sure you're familiar with being a Barstool employee in the fact that he crushed half of Boston. But if they can get that secondary score and go, and Calgary, they haven't had much experience

or success in the playoffs, but as far as Calgary's lineup, they locked in their number one goalie this off season, that Markstrom, he's an absolute stallion sweet, who's, I think he had nine shutouts. They play an overall unreal team defense. They are big and mean on the back end, and then they have that one top line,

who just lit up the NHL the entire season. Johnny Goudreau, Lindholm, and then Matthew Kitchuck. I don't know if you guys know Walt Keith Kitchuck, who played a long time in the NHL, one of the best American-born players. He had two kids, Brady and Matthew, one of which is playing in Calgary, and he had a career year and he's gonna get fucking paid.

So Calgary, from an overall team standpoint, they've been a wagon all year. I have a lot of trust in them, but much like the Leafs, they have that mental hurdle they gotta get over. They gotta get past that first round, and then all the pressure comes off, and then I think that both of them can go on runs.

Calgary looks good. So with the Leafs, how much weight is carried like the history in that jersey of knowing that, hey, this team is stunk in the playoffs for, you know what, the last like 30 years? Longer, longer. I don't think they've won the cup in 70 years. They haven't been out of the first round,

and I wanna say 17 or 18 years. I would view the Toronto Maple Leafs quote unquote curse, and I just, I don't exactly know what to tie it back to, but when Boston went as long as they did without winning that World Series, what was the curse and the fact that they traded away? Bay Bruth.

Bay Bruth, was that the curse? Yeah, the curse of the Bambino. Curse of the Bambino, right? At this point, I feel like the Leafs have been cursed for whatever reason, they just like, they got a limp dick come play off time. They need the C-bomb special to get themselves going, and that's why I think once they get past this first round

and these new wave of players who have kind of assumed all this pressure from the history of the Leafs, I think then it's gonna propel them to have confidence and just kind of focus on the hockey side of it. 1967, I had that right, not a big deal. Oh, you knew it exactly. I know puck. All right, so best goalie in the playoffs.

Well, you gotta give it to Vazolesky because he hasn't been knocked off the throne, and that's just going back to Tampa, and the reason I say that, and remember I talked about like the central nervous system and fucking like having to be like on nonstop, he's relied upon so heavily in those back-to-back playoffs where they won both.

He didn't lose back-to-back games one time. He gave him five goals last night. Yeah, that's fine. So next game, game two, Leafs Tampa, if he were to lose, that would be the first time in the last, you know, that's crazy. Three playoffs years that he's lost back-to-back games as a goalie. I wanna say that even with the two runs that he's did

and not losing in back-to-back games, that had never been done. I don't even know if it'd been done in one Stanley Cup fight. Yeah, that's a crazy stat. Yeah, and to play every game, he is just a horse. He's a freak. He's the best goaltender in the world,

although I say that based on championships and body of work. If I had to pick an alternative to a guy who has not proven himself, and I don't even know if he's ever played a playoff game, I don't think so, Igor Shisterkin with the New York Rangers, this kid's very special. I think he also, they say that he's, I wanna say Wayne even said this,

so don't list- Wayno, Wayno, Wayno. He's, it was either him or somebody else mentioned, he thinks the game like Wayno. Normally goalies just concern themselves to stop in the puck, but some of them are smart enough to understand the way that the defense and offense shifts and where they need to be in order to stop the puck.

Apparently Patrick Wah was one of those guys where when he got to Colorado, he would, I think he was roommates with Adam Foote, and he would structure how they should play little by little throughout his time there till when they led into playoffs, about just basically telling the guys, stand here, do this, I'll stop it from these angles,

and they work together in order to win two championships in Colorado when he was there. So some guys in net just have a very special brain, and they're saying Igor Shisterkin, not only with his skill set, he's gonna win the Vezna this year, but he also just thinks the game, and that's why he's able to be so good.

So the Rangers, I feel like the Rangers have a very sneaky good team. Yes. Like they have, I put a future on them, I put a future on the Leafs, but I feel like, I feel more confident in the Rangers caps. Not the Caps. No, I mean, I'm rooting for the Caps,

but I'm very also, I'm realistic about the Caps opportunities this postseason. So the Rangers were one of those teams where you were like, hmm, on the cusp, but I really liked their deadline moves. They brought in Andrew Kopp, who was over in Winnipeg, who's a great utility guy who can go up and top the top lines.

They got a great back end. Of course, you guys know Adam Fox, he ended up winning the Norris last year, but they got a good back end, incredible goal tending, and then they have really good guys up top, and then a very well balanced forward line. So my only thing going in though, so I picked Pittsburgh to win the series

because of two things, loyalty, they ended up drafting me, and that's where I got to play my first NHL game, and of course, skate on the same line as Sidney Crosby for six seconds, until he noticed I was there, and then he fucking be lined off the ice. And Rangers have had Pittsburgh's number all season long.

I think in the three games, they only scored one goal at even strength, and in the last game, there was a bit of a heated battle of the regular season between the two teams, and then Igor Shisterkin, as they were signaling the crowd, there was a bit of a riff still going on with Pittsburgh, and he was giving them the wave goodbye.

And I just, bulletin board material is not something you want to give of Kenny Malkin and Sidney Crosby and Crystal Tang, who have been the cornerstone of the core group of Pittsburgh, who have won three championships in their tenure there, and the fact that Rangers pummeled them in the regular season.

I just think that it gives them a little extra oomph in order to go fucking knock off a superior team in New York. Okay, so you said something interesting there. I want to ask, in terms of playoffs, who has the deepest team? Because I always think that the star talent matters, but Hockey, you have to be able to put out

three and sometimes four decent lines that can all do things, because you can't just rely on one line. Yeah, so there's two redonkulous wagons this year. So you got the Florida Panthers, who four unreal lines of offensive driving forwards, great back end, they made a couple of additions at the deadline, won that Ben Chirot for Montreal,

who will help out their top four, and then they just got Aaron Eckblad back, who before he ended up going down, was probably top five for the Norris, and then you look at their goal tending, but Brovsky has been shaky the last couple of years, ever since he got his big contract, came over from Columbus,

but they also have Spencer Knight, so they also have that one-two punch, which you're seeing a lot more with NHL teams. They're not just relying on this one goalie system, you're seeing it in Minnesota when they ended up picking up flower at the deadline. I mean, the examples go on and on and on for NHL teams who have two guys in that.

The other wagon out west, down south, is Colorado. South here. Yeah, the big southern state there. They were kind of the head and above favorite all year, and everybody thought they were gonna win the President's Trophy, but the Florida Panthers ended up rattling off without Aaron Eckblad,

like 13 wins in a row to finish off the season in order to overtake and win the top team in the league, but I think that the West, playoff-wise, is an easier road to the cup. Therefore, I'm gonna lean towards saying the ultimate wagon and the deepest team in all of the NHL is the Colorado Avalanche, and I give them the nudge because of their back end.

That's one of the best decors I've seen in a long, long time, led by a guy who, I don't think people are willing to give him the Bobby Orr title quite yet, but Cale McCarr is easily the next Paul Coffey. We hadn't seen a defenseman who's able to drive traffic like him. The way he's, he's essentially stepped in as the Conor McDavid of the back end.

They're these new video game type players where they just, everything's just moving at a higher rate, and they are just freaks of nature, and he's probably gonna score 30 goals as a defenseman. What? Four or five times. Damn. He would have hit that mark this year

if he wasn't a little bit banged up. I think he did miss some time, but they have a very, very good team, and Joe Sack has done a hell of a job by building them, and of course, led by Nathan McKinnon, one of the guys who comes on our podcast all the time. I love that. We're gonna get back to Paul Bissonette in a second,

who have ever won the President's Trophy have ever went on to win the Stanley Cup, and it's been a while since a President's Trophy winner has even reached the final. And, I mean, being a Caps fan, you should know that the most. How many years in a row? For a while, I thought it was just us.

That had happened all the time. Turns out, it's a long season, and if you play at a high level all season, it's more about once you get to playoffs, I'm sure, you get a hot goalie, you get streaky, you start playing with confidence, you get an edge to your team. That makes a little bit more of a difference sometimes.

And also, the NHL has done such a good job, and there is criticism with the hard cap in certain area. I mean, agents in particular, because they want more money for their clients, and rightfully so. But it's just created so much parity where you look at the NBA playoffs, like even this year, I believe every one through four seed

in each conference advanced. There was not one upset. That's sick league. Yeah, sick league. That's rarely the case in the NHL, and I appreciate that about the league. There's no guarantees, no layups. So, yeah, I think that the one cool thing, though,

is when you do win the President's Trophy, I think the team ends up getting 250, 300K to divide through the players. So, it's a nice little night out with the fellas in the summer. I think each guy sees about 20 grand. That's not bad. Yeah, for some guys who are making league minimum,

or 800 grand, after taxes, escrow, the whole kit and caboodle, I think you make maybe 350 grand of that. It's a nice little weekend with the boys in Vegas. It's not bad. Let's talk cheap shots. So, last night, Minnesota Wild Jared Spurgeon, is that his name?

Spurgeon gave a cross check to the back of Achilles tendon. If Tom Wilson does that, how many games suspension are we talking about? I think that he's going down to San Quentin. Yeah. Is that still a prison? They'll kill him. They'll bring out the tarp, like a racehorse,

put him down on the ice. I know the Caps are gonna get pumped in the series by the Florida Panthers, but I said it would be nice if we could have a clean Tom Wilson hit that just erupted the Twitter internet. And everyone's like, kill him. Locked this guy in prison,

and the director of player safety's like, you know what? That was a clean hit. That's what I want to. I think that the Parros, who is the one who's in charge of all that, has done a good job, in my opinion, of keeping the integrity of hockey.

There's a strong voice online that wants to soften the game a little bit, so anytime there's anything remotely close to something that was borderline, they go nuts and suspend this guy for life and get all the dirty players out of the game. Those are people who just don't understand how fast these games are going, in my mind.

Correct. There are certain points where you can point to it and be like, all right, that was a dirty hit that was like, there was intent, all those things. Those have to be out of the game. But bang bang plays, when people are like, look, you can see him launching, and it's like, dude, you just slowed it down.

You slowed down a play that was happening at like 30 miles an hour. And I don't know what that Achilles said to the guy. Wait, so what happens? What did that Achilles say to Spurgeon? Was he talking about his fucking pizza in the middle in the first period? I don't know if he deserved it.

I mean, that to me, just watching it as a casual fan, it's like that's one of those plays Big Cat was talking about where there's intent there. Yeah, no, that was a dirty play. He was trying to injure him, right? That was a dirty play. Yeah, I think his wires crossed and he may be hearing that from player safety now.

What happens though after, like what happens in game two is you're in the locker room, you know, you have to suspend disbelief here. You're starting, or you're on the third line for a playoff team and that happens. What do they say to Biz? No, so that's actually a really good question, Big Cat. Thank you, good question.

Let's give him a round of applause, everybody. Let's keep the energy high in here. Let's keep it high. Stand up, playoffs! Billy, did you send the tweet? What exactly do you want me to say? I mean, hey, Jeffery Tubin, want to jerk off with me and the boys.

Oh, you guys gotta do his thinking for him too. Yeah, this is crazy. No, I had a draft, hey, Jeffery Tubin, do you want to come jerk off with the boys? Yeah, that sounds good to say. That works, right to the point, right to the point. Okay, Paul, Jim, go ahead. Yeah, tell him I'm not involved though

because I already rang one out this morning, so I wouldn't be able to even get the thing up right now unless you showed me some real sick shit. Okay, hey, Jeffery Tubin. I need some mascara dripping or something. Come jerk off with the boys, but not Biz Nasty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But not Biz Nasty, he's busy.

Tell him we'll do it at work when I see him on Friday at the Turner Studios. So going back to your question, so if I saw my teammate accept a cheap shot, in the regular season, things are completely different than playoffs. There's really not as much at stake, and in fact, in the regular season

was when you want to beat down your point. In a playoff round, you're going to have to just keep his number and at some point, hopefully you can get retribution, but now saying that, it's just impossible because even in that series clinching win, if you're up a couple goals towards the end, you can't go out and take a penalty on the guy

because you might end up costing your team. So that's the time of year where you just have to really accept it, not let your ego get in the way and just kind of focus on the ultimate prize. Yeah, I hope that it occurs naturally during the course of the game where you can get a good shot on them.

And get in the back of your mind. Where you can get a clean hit, but if that's what you're going out thinking of during your shift, I mean, I think you're already behind the eight ball. So it's hard, man. It's the game within the game. That was something that certain players

didn't have to deal with. That was particularly what I had to worry about. But once again, I can't just go out there in a playoff shift and then end up taking a penalty to get back at a guy because it could end up costing my team and then next thing you know, I'm in the press box. Okay, follow up question. How much in a playoff atmosphere do you,

let's hypothetically say we gamble on these games, how much do you think home ice and the crowd should be taken into the calculation of which team you're betting on? I know obviously last line change and you could tell me about that. Like, does that matter at all? I know people mention it.

Like matchups do matter at home. So in certain cases, yes, in certain cases, no. Like there's been teams like, I remember New Jersey a few years ago, they ended up, they won like 80% of their road games during playoffs. But then I believe they were also losing a lot at home. So for some teams, it doesn't matter.

As far as the matchups are concerned, like let's use the Edmonton LA series as an example. You have two of the best players in the world in Connor McDavid and Leon Drysidle. Philip DeNoe who came over from Montreal and ended up signing a big ticket this off season with LA is known as one of the best shutdown centermen's in the league. He doesn't necessarily produce a ton of offense.

Well, at least before this year. And when they get to go home in LA, I would imagine either him or Copa Tarr are out there every single shift against the big boys, just shadowing them. And I'd never even really noticed them that much. But then we had Nathan McKinnon on the podcast. We said, who's the hardest guy for you to play against in the

expecting he would say one of the big names. And he goes, honestly, man, he goes that Philip DeNoe. He just, he's just one of those guys were on the defensive side of the puck. He just knows how to irritate you. He's always got to stick in the right place. His body positioning is great. He's good on face offs.

So in some cases, those line matchups and home ice advantage is huge, especially at the fact that LA ended up getting game one in Edmonton on a goalie gift from Mike Smith. So it's like, you guys are fricking asking unreal questions. We're all over the place with the hockey breakdown. I'm pumped for that.

Who doesn't love Stanley Cup players? They're fucking electric. So what about the crowd though? The second part of that question. Like, do you think, do you think it matters? I know it matters. So in other sports, I don't think it really matters much in football anymore in terms of NFL.

College still matters. I think it does in terms of like snap counts and things like that. Yeah, but if you look at the actual numbers, it has decreased significantly. Like, the home advantage in football is not what it used to be, at least from a point spread perspective, 20 years ago.

Basketball, you could make the argument. College basketball, for sure, because they're just kids. Baseball, yeah, you get the bottom of the ninth. I never knew with hockey like. I also think it depends on which team what they're able to handle adversity-wise, especially in the moment. Like, let's say they're on the road and they're up to nothing,

and the other team's pressing, and all of a sudden, they get that first one, and the crowd's going fucking nuts. The towels are waving. Like, you can visually see some teams where they're arseholes pucker up, and they are just on the ropes. Much like in boxing, right? So it depends on the teams in which players have been there and how they're able to really control their emotions

and that type of setting. Some guys are incredible at just blocking it all out, and they are just zoned in on the game. You could ask them about things that happened, from the crowd perspective and how loud it was, and they wouldn't be able to tell you. And then there's guys like me where I'm like, holy shit, this building is buzzing right now.

So it's all really personality and team-based. What about coaching? What's more important in terms of coaching in the playoffs? The guy that's like, he's right on top of all of his shit with the line changes, with some substitutions, things like that, or the guy that is able to get his team like, pissed off, ready to go play with a lot of energy. I think most of these coaches want their teams prepared

and have had sustained success in all areas of their game going into playoffs, like whether it's power play. But yeah, the motivation factor should be coming from within the guys in the locker room, not the head coach. I think that as long as he's keeping a calm demeanor and focusing on his execution of his game, it's a lot though, man. Like hockey, football, you could also

go in with a game plan and have all these plans drawn up. Whereas hockey, it's just like if there's so much changing and shifting, maybe guys going down to injury, it could be a game where it's a lot of special teams. So how are you going to manage the energy of your bench and maybe spreading out that ice time to your penalty killer so they're not gassed to when you get through that wave of penalty kill?

So that's a deeper question and we could spend hours on it. So who's the best coach? So right now, if you had to put your money down, because I never played hockey, so I don't really know. All I know from hockey and what the coach's input is is the game plan going and the lines being paired. Like I remember Quinville would always, the Blackhawks would always start slow in series.

And then they would always turn a corner. And it felt like it was partly his coaching where he would line pairings and everything and they would finish series strong. You know what I mean? They were down 2-1, I think, to the lightning and the Stanley Cup, things like that. Yeah, so I mean, I just mentioned it

when I was answering in PFT's answer. It's like that's what makes him so successful is throughout all that chaos and maybe the pressure of, oh, no, we didn't start good. He's just seeing the situation and how it's playing out and he's making his adjustments and staying calm. Yeah, maybe sometimes you see him get a little bit red and fired up and trying to poke certain guys.

I'm sure if you asked for Stig, you'd have a couple funny answers for you as far as what, how Quinville would try to get him going individually. But yeah, these guys, they're so experienced and they've seen it all. So even those slow starts, I don't think that he's hitting the panic button.

Who's the best? It also doesn't hurt when you're playing with the house's money and he already has as many championships as possible. As far as head coaches going into these playoffs, I really like Craig Barube. I liked it the way that he talked. He's very just direct and stern and especially when they had that run when they ended up winning it,

they allow access into the locker room. So he'll just go in and beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Like let's fucking go. You fucking come on, yo. Pressure, pressure. Let's go wake the fuck up. Clap and you're out. Not like, not talking for 15 minutes.

Everybody knows their assignments and what needs to be done. That was established throughout the regular season. He doesn't, it could be very black and white. It doesn't need to be fucking 15 minute Rue Ross Beach in and out of the locker room. I like Craig Barube. Brunette, is it Andrew Brunette?

If you can Google it. I hope I'm not butchering his name. He took over for Quinville, which was a very difficult situation at the beginning of the year with the Florida Panthers. And they had all these expectations. And then the Quinville situation happened with what had happened in Chicago.

He was released and Andrew Brunette took over. And he may in fact end up winning coach of the year where he was pegged as an assistant where he was able to galvanize the group. They didn't skip a beat after the firing. It didn't shake up the core at all. And they just kept on winning and doing exactly as planned. Yeah, so we gotta write Andrew Brunette.

Yeah, Andrew Brunette. With that series, the capitals and the Panthers. I'm of the mindset, it's probably gonna be like five, six games. We're probably gonna get wonked in this series. Yeah. The Panthers are so good. And it feels like this is not a great caps team,

especially like goal tending is a big question. We haven't figured out, we've had like two and a half years, haven't figured out what to do there. Give me just like some sliver of hope. Like, what's the percentage? Give me like 10%, 15%, 20% chance that we can beat the Panthers. Well, I mean, you got two goalies who are decent.

They just haven't been able to sustain it. Well, that's the thing. They're both decent, but they both suck when they get put in. So it's like, it's always, we got one guy and oh, the other guy, he's playing really well in practice, let's toss him in. And then he sucks in the games.

And one of them can catch lightning in a bottle and stand on his head and it's a seven game series. So who knows? The stand on your head. I just, I think that the back end is a little weak from a, you know, giving up scoring chances standpoint. And then when you mix that in with the goal tending, it's sometimes it's, you know, you don't want to be having

barn burners against the Florida Panthers because they live for those up and down track meet style games. I guess the only hope would just be that they bring their experience and they get a lot of heavy lifting from the guys up front, like Backstrom, like Ovi. Tom Wilson's going to have to be a factor.

I said, if they got a swing and chance, Tom Wilson's going to have to fuck shit up in game one. He's going to have to run, run through the wall and really, really shake things up and maybe get them off their game and rattle them. I would kill for another playoff. It's so fun when your team is on this like magical run, you get so amped up, you get so wrapped up

in the environment. It's, it's maybe the most fun playoff run that you can make in sports. So your one opportunity here to win this series is the fact that Florida has to get over that mental hurdle and all the expectations in the world are on them after the regular season. They just have a lot of pressure.

A lot of pressure. A lot of pressure. What did you say? Did you ever get circumcised for the Leafs when you said, like if they get bounced in the first round? I'm trying to remember. I played the fifth. I, I, I, I talked to my doctor and he didn't advise that.

He said that that could be a very dangerous and painful procedure this, this late in life. Is that your doctor was your girlfriend? No, no, I actually, Billy, Billy's my doctor. I actually did. I advised him, no. They did not, they did not recommend you take a look at it. Yeah.

I don't think you take, give it the rest that needed. Got it. I'll get reason. If I try, it would look like Lenny Kravitz is scarf. Oh, all time scarf. I'll get, I'll get uncircumcised if they win the cup this year. How about that?

I'll get it back. What I did was I pushed the bets back and I got a couple going right now. So I'm big on the Calgary Flames. Yes. And everybody who's listening, I don't know if you're aware of the Battle of Alberta. So Edmonton and Calgary have had this

ongoing ravelly forever. And you know, you get fucking Rick from Red Deer who's rooting for Edmonton and you get whoever from Calgary. And it's just like, it's a very heated battle. So there's a great chance, unless Edmonton fucks us up, that they will meet in the next round. It should be great for my bet.

And if Calgary goes farther in playoffs, then Edmonton, who's Witt's team, Witt has to get a left earring. And we already have like a little Pink Whitney cross for him. He has to get his ears pieced and wear that around. I didn't know what we said. I think we said a full month. And if Calgary ends up getting bounced

and Edmonton goes farther, I have to shave the top of my head, like basically like I'm going bald and I have to keep it for a week on national television. Wow. Yeah, that's a tough one. That is a tough one. That's high stakes.

At the time, I thought Edmonton was going to miss playoffs. And they just have went on the second half run. Mike Smith caught fire. They got, they fired their coach and the new coach took over and they just went on this absolute tear. They signed Evander Kane also, who was having some off ice issues,

but he seems to be loving it there. So they have really, really made a strong push. And the bet has turned into a coin toss. And Daryl Sutter's definitely on the list. He's got two cups. For what? For as a coach. Yeah, so he had the full off season.

He took over last year and he was unable to fix what the problem was. He is a brilliant hockey mind who won a couple cups with the LA Kings. That was one of the years they got the eighth seed and they marched all the way to the final and just dominated everyone. Jonathan Quick.

Jonathan Quick. But as far as Sutter's concerned, he had the whole off season. He knew the chemistry of the team. He came in and he really molded the group. I said in preseason, I said, I thought they were missing playoffs. And after watching him for the first two weeks

of the season, I'm like, holy fuck, Sutter's got these guys tuned up and ready to play. And the one component is they're buying in. He's the type of coach that after a few years, he's got a shelf life because every day is the most intense day ever. You could be on a 10 game win streak and he's more intense than he was

at the beginning of the win streak. So he- Like Nick Saban, yeah. Yeah, he's like Nick Saban on Juice. All Bama players say that the worst practice in the season is always when they're playing the worst teams. Like his Nick Saban, when you're playing Auburn,

he doesn't have to be an asshole, but when you're playing Mercer or Jacksonville State, he goes crazy on it. Like if you want to be on Sutter's bad side, you would have a kid born in the midst of the season. If you knock up your wife and she's gonna give birth during the course of the season, you might as well just fucking ask for a trade.

What happens if you're gonna have a kid like during the Stanley Cup playoffs? He takes it away and doesn't want- Put it down the river Nile. He doesn't want any distractions. Drops it off at a firehouse. He's rossed it off at a local firehouse, yeah. We'll pick that, but you pick that back up

after we win this cup. Yeah, exactly. All right, I have one last question. Then we're gonna do guys on chicks. So you gotta stay for next week. I love it. I love these little games you guys play. Have I done a pretty good job of breaking down the league?

No, I guess. Can I get a fucking round of applause and let's keep getting me high? So we intentionally scheduled you. Yeah, we intentionally scheduled you to come on the show early in the week so you wouldn't be burned out through your three live streams

that you're gonna be doing in what, two podcasts? I think sometimes you guys forget that I'm coming from out west and right now this is really nine o'clock in the morning. Biz tried to get credit yesterday. He was like, I took a red eye and it was like crazy and like you guys all gotta respect that. It's like, you're getting paid, right?

If there's two guys at the company that can insult me about work ethic, it's you two. Because you guys work your ballbags off, you're doing three podcasts a week and you're traveling all around North America. So, but I also don't take Adderall or any type of performance enhancing drugs. Red eyes do fuck you either.

I'm clean. Yeah, all day. Why are you wearing glasses all the time? Not a drug guy. Because my baby blues are too piercing. All right, last question. And then we'll do guys on chicks. Roback question.

We got some polos for you. We got some Q-zips for you. You fancy yourself a little bit of a golfer. Go to roback.com. Use code TAKE for 20% off your first purchase. R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com. Code TAKE 20% off your first purchase. Give us the Stanley Cup final and your win.

And your winner. I think this is a year where the favorites get to the top. I think it's gonna be Colorado and I think it's gonna be Florida and I think it will be the most electric Stanley Cup final of all time. If that does happen, because both of those teams are extremely fun to watch

and I think that that would really, really put the league in a great place after having such an amazing regular season. I'll reinforce this. I love the parody in the National Hockey League and I think a lot of hockey fans do. So Florida versus Colorado battle for the South? Battle of the South.

Yeah, it will be incredible. Who gets to claim Southern franchise? That sucks though. You picked the fucking favorites. Yeah, you just said you love the parody. Yeah, you know what I'm going for. Well, because of that parody, Colorado got bounced last year.

All right, back up. They ended up getting bounced by Vegas and then Vegas ended up getting bounced by Montreal, who was- I love how you say Montreal. And Vegas. Like, munch. Or was it Montreal? Yeah, Montreal.

Montreal final. Yeah, and it was the worst final ever. So I'm hoping this year the good teams actually get there and they put on a show. So, all right, so I'll let you have a backup. Like, the Zany pick. Let's go, let's actually go, if I'm going crazy, crazy. Let's say Rangers out of the East.

And let's say, it can't be Nashville. Let's go St. Louis out of the West. St. Louis. So even in both of your picks, no Canadian teams get to the finals. Well, you said crazy. Calgary for me is a top Western team. They're in between crazy and predictable.

Yeah, so his backup pick was not the second most likely. It was just like, I'm going to get fucking weird with it. Yeah. St. Louis is another team where it was very iffy at the trade deadline. They had a horrible back, not a horrible back end. Let me take that back.

The back end was struggling a little bit and they were missing a piece on the left side. Cam Jansen up coming on, say they need to make a move on the Spittin' Chickle's podcast. And then they did and they got Letty, which not a huge name, but it just filled a hole. And ever since then, they've just been on this massive roll. Towards the end of the season, they were winning 80%

of their games, if not more. And then they ended up, one thing that does suck is the playoff structure in which that the teams play in division and unless you get, of course, the first seed and then you play the wild card. But so now you've got Minnesota and St. Louis who are, I think, second and third place in the conference playing in the first round.

It should be, they should see them one through eight in the conferences. Is that how they do it in the NBA? I agree, yeah. Yeah, it's easier to do it that way. But everyone listening to this, you're going to have a friend that asks you at one point after the first round is coming to a conclusion.

Your buddy's going to say, I forget, do they reseed in the Stanley Cup playoffs? They don't reseed. They don't. And another one that you're going to be familiar with is the fact that they wanted to create these indivision rivalries and make sure that they at least got one of those big impactful series.

And going back to when both Pittsburgh and Washington were in their heyday, they would always meet in the second round. Where it would be so much cooler if they would have met in the conference finals. It just has a little bit more of that allure. But I can understand why they do it. And then to contradict myself, you

may, in fact, get that battle of Alberta out west if both teams advance from the first round. So in some ways, it's good. In other ways, it's like, well, I don't want to see the second or third team knocked off in the first round because of the way they seed everything. So that's one thing that they might have to change. R.A. and Witt also mentioned doing 1 through 16.

And you might even have Eastern teams traveling out west to start playing. That's crazy. I don't like that. Which would be wild. I would be OK if they ended up switching the patterns up. What do you mean? Well, where one year, maybe the champs, they get to decide.

Maybe it's a case of. I like the call out. I think that would be very cool. The call out would be cool. If you did a draft, if you had both sides, don't switch. Don't do East and West. Like, that's weird.

I think I like two different sides. But if you had the top four seeds decide there, or like one, two, and three, gets to decide who they want to play. Yeah, yeah. And then four just plays whoever it's on. It would be the first seven teams selecting, starting with the first team. They would get to pick their opponent,

and then all the way through. And then obviously, eight and nine would already know by the time the seventh pick went. But that would be an option. I don't mind the East versus West either, and then do the two, three, two type series. It would just create so much chaos, and playoff matchups that we'd never seen before.

But from a traveling standpoint, an energy level standpoint, after playing a two game season, maybe not the right way. But I definitely think they should go back one through eight, East and West, and then reseed after the, so I know we've rambled on enough about seeding, we can move on. Yeah, so I had one last, last question

about the actual playoff. So we touched on the ping wins a little bit. Let's talk championship window for them. Is this the end of their championship window, or how much longer do you think they have to be as good as they once were? I think this is the last dance. They're, you know how they had the one for,

this is there, they got that trio, they've already won three Stanley Cups together. I think the trio of LaTang, Malkin, and Sid, they might be the only three guys that have played as many games as they had for an organization with the same amount of accolades or like winning the Cups and all the hardware they have. I just don't know with the cap

if they're gonna be able to afford all three of them because LaTang and Malkin are up for contracts. So that's another reason why I picked them as opposed to the New York Rangers. I just, I think that they're well aware of what this is and this will be the groups last time together and they're gonna go on a nice little run. Okay, business sticking around for guys on chicks.

What does Wayno call you? Shithead? Dum-dum? I don't know. I don't remember what he calls me. Cabana Boy? Yeah. Hey, you?

Yeah. Chief Powell? Does he call you Powell? That's when you really don't know someone's name. He calls me Biz. Yeah. Does he always wear the cardigan? He calls me Bizzo.

Is he like strictly cardigan even off the air? No, he wears a lot of Gucci. That makes sense. You ever ask him about Polina? I think we're gonna change the subject. No, I don't. Well, that's guys on chicks. No, I have respect for my coworkers.

I do too. I don't, I don't. You don't jack off in front of them. I don't force my coworkers to send out tweets to other people about pugging one off on a Zoom call. Everyone in this room says hey, how are your kids doing? You can't say that to Wayno?

Hey, how are your kids doing? Well, I mean his kids, Trevor and Ty are usually around. Yeah. One was in the Cubs organization. Yeah, he was a good ball player. He does a little bit of acting on the side now. I actually knew them before I knew Wayne. Oh, really?

Wayne was coaching the Coyotes all the way up until the year before, he was there the year before I got there. And because the market was down, he kind of kept it as a mansion near Old Town. So his two kids and my other buddy, Joey Superstein, were living in this mansion and they would be throwing ASU ragers there every weekend.

So after home games, like we would go out to the club a little bit and then we would go over. It was the fucking best time of my life. Now, did you tell Wayne like, hey, I partied at your house a lot of times? I've, I've, I've joked about him. Yeah. He and Joey Superstein used to go over there

and get dirty with it. He got our cornholes left. Yeah. No, but no, his kids are awesome. And they, you know, the one, the one kid tie, he runs the Wayne Gretzky hockey school. So they travel around and, you know, Trev, he was a ball player and then now,

now he's been doing some acting on the side. He was actually in the, that the reboot saw movie they did with Chris Rock. Oh, wow. He was, he was a police officer of that one. So he, we actually had him as our e-bug for the chicklets cup as well. So the whole family, yeah, as far as his kids are concerned,

they've been very good to me. And, and, and they were one of the reasons I ended up getting on TNT. Cause when Wayne got hired, they go, dad, you got to get biz on there with you. He knows what he's doing. And like, well, first of all, no, I didn't. Yeah.

You were, they were wrong. So they lied to their old man for me. And that's how I got the TNT gig. Did he get in for as e-bug? Oh yeah. He played one half and he was just gassed. Really? Yeah.

I think he, maybe he was hacking a few Nikes that week before he got that. That e-bug for the ducks was awesome. That last, last game of the season. Very cool. I don't know. Emergency backup goalie. It's just a random fucking dude who usually is like,

works on the rink or something. And it is not a professional player. Okay. So I feel like every sport should have this. Yes. So for, for football would be the kicker. Yeah. It could be kicker.

It'd be even better if it was a quarterback. Putting like a running back. Imagine a guy just getting smoked. I would love, switch my answer to running back. Yeah. I'd love to see a random dude out on a basketball court, just like get blown by and like not, not even be able to dribble.

Because they would get pick pocketed right away. Yeah. Well, I mean, that would be part of the criteria. He would have to be this guy who was like lighting up the YMCA. Yeah. Maybe like low level college. Yeah. Some guy who can commit to like driving there and you know,

texting his buddies being like, I think tonight's my night that I actually get in. And then for baseball, what would it be? Would it be? The catcher would be very funny at baseball. Yeah. Yeah. They can call in all the signs and stuff.

Just getting drilled. Yeah. Just getting drilled. Yeah. So and, and I actually love it about hockey is, you know, they, they, they have this e-bug situation and usually once a year, a guy, a regular Joe off the street gets addressed in NHL game, although this guy almost had a jam.

We had a panic attack. Yeah. He was breathing all heavy and it was great to his stats. I think, I think he had three shots against and he saved two of them. So that's pretty good. Pretty good numbers. Yeah. He only got one goal.

All right. We have a, we have a video editor here who is. Who's an e-bug? Yeah. For like the rangers or others. That's incredible. Yeah. So funny too. Cause he was wearing, he worked in, he was in Dallas.

So he was wearing the ducks jersey, but he had a Dallas face mask on. Yeah. Cause he like, well, you know, is for, you know, lives around Dallas. So it's just for the ring. It's, it's not for each team. Well, the most famous one is David Ayres and you guys, you know, that whole story of when he was an e-bug in Toronto and then Carolina needed one and he went in and then he stood on his head and ended up

beating the Leafs and he was the Leafs e-bug and you know, the Leafs have been the butt of a lot of jokes with their, their, losing to an e-bug. Yeah. And then they lost to an e-bug. So they were, they were getting dragged through the mud. All right. Guys on chicks. Hey, BizNasty. I'm a college junior about to go into my senior year.

I've been hooking up with this guy for basically the majority of the school year. It's been going really good. Somewhere along the way, I think that I low key caught feelings from him. And I think that's a good thing because it feels like he probably did too. Neither of us have really talked about what to do next. He's graduating and got a job. Yay. However, last weekend after we finished having sex, he accidentally called me Katie, which is his ex, his ex's last name.

I haven't brought it up and not sure if I should or not. My question is like, am I being, am I playing myself right now or what the hell do I do? Please help me. I'm actually really conflicted and don't want to stop anything. So yeah, go Leafs, by the way. I'm just curious as to the timeline, like was it like as, after he nutted, he was like, ah, yeah. Like what did, how did it all go?

Thanks, Katie. I don't know. I also think as a rule, after we finished having sex, you get like you get one, I think. I think you get one where you can screw up a name like that because it is hard if you've been in a relationship and then you go to another relationship, like you get used to, you know, saying one name. I think you get it once and then if you ever do it again, then it's over. And I think if you're not official, it's it's hard when you bring that up

and you're bitching at them. It just reminds them of, oh, this is exactly why I'm not in a relationship. I don't want anyone to be able to to hold anything over my head. So I think I think he gets the pass one pass. I think he gets the pass and and that's it. I think she's describing how the human emotion works actually perfectly. That's kind of what we're designed to do. She's like, so I've been having sex with this guy pretty consistently

for the last six months. Now I'm starting to like him. I think that's kind of like what you're engineered to do as a human. I think she's probably just that's normal, which he's going through. But just if I were her, I would just let just pretend it never happened. Just bury it way, way, way deep down inside, unless it happens second time or keep it inside and then box it up until the next time you have sex and then hit him back with it. Yeah, yeah. Oh, that was so great.

And then maybe see how he reacts. And then if he and then if he's the one being like, hey, why are you calling me a different name and say, oh, I don't want to date a hypocrite, see a punk. Oh, there you go. Or you could just hang on to it for a long time until you need something until there's a situation. Yeah, no, actually, you're right.

You this is actually an ace card that he's given you the sea of punk. Though I would I would bury it deep down below, start the relationship, allow it to affect the relationship the entire time and then eventually I don't understand. I was on stabbing with a fork like when he wants to go play golf instead of like going to your mother's birthday party, be like, hey, you remember that one time that you called me Katie in bed and then boom, he's going to punk. Yeah, remember that time you gave me the cream pie and then called me Katie?

Yeah, yeah, you're coming to mom's pick up some flowers to while I get ready. Oh, yeah, I signed you up for a foot rub, too. Can you elaborate on why Canadians prefer missionary while Americans gravitate towards doggy? Is that true? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know the other way around so you can both watch hockey. Well, I like missionary just because I like kissing.

I like doing the French bomb bearing my smoocher, bearing my four Z deep inside. Um, your smoocher. Is this how the TNT show goes usually? No, we don't talk about sometimes you throw in a few dick jokes. I like to make out and kiss while I'm doing it. Yeah, I don't mind doggy. I just know it's good.

I switch it around. You're a passionate man. Those are those are my two go to dog. The eye contact. You're like you're like Leo and Rose on the Titanic. Yeah, just like to stare at you. Yeah, I'm making out and staring into their eyes and making sure that everything's good.

Everything good. Yeah, you're happy. Are you happy? Can you feel anything down there? No, OK, all right, let me use my finger. But yeah, no, I'm but who gave you that poll? I mean, that might be a made up thing. I mean, now that seems and you're also going to stick with it.

In America, like it's been probably a decade since I haven't done it doggy style inside these borders. I usually like the doggy style passport. That means we're flipping over. I like the doggy style when you got your foot on their face. You know, you kind of go around. What? It was a fucking joke.

Big Canada feet on their face. Hey, guys, summer beach question for you. When is the time to? No, let's talk to Jake about about what he likes better. Are you are you here? Let's pass on my go. Are you you went to college pretty close to Canada? Are you from that?

Jake, are you an anal guy? I'm not. Have you ever? Have you ever? Have you ever licked a girl's asshole? Have you ever sucked the fart out of a girl's ass? No, you've never licked a cornhole. No, no leather Cheerios. I'm not a big I'm not a big anal guy.

You know, Jake's a Jake's a Panthers fan. You are my hometown team. I could have been better this season, but I'm going to be better these next few weeks. I wish I'm glad I wish these guys came better prepared. What did you make of the Kodak black incident in the box when he was grinding his cock? And yeah, I think he's an anal guy.

Oh, yeah, you think things happen at bad teams games, but the Panthers they're good. Well, it takes a while for them to like they're good, but you're not like they're a good franchise. Right. Good. Yeah, right. Like the Reds thing we talked about earlier. Yeah, they have to have a few seasons in the consciousness to be like, that's a good franchise.

Yeah, Jake, what if you like what if you met the girl of your dreams and she wanted to stand up 69, but she was holding you and you were off the ground? Would you be cool with that? I don't know. Yes. Yes. I'll answer for Jake. Yes. Yes. Good question, though, Biz. Was Kodak black actually having sex with that girl?

I never did. I think he was getting an over the pant rub where. Yeah. Just a brand. So it's super grimoire. So, yeah. So when you're in the American Hockey League, you're not making that show dough. And we used to sometimes go to the show clubs.

I would not do this, but I would have teammates who would they would go to the bathroom at the strip club, they would take their underwear off, put their dress pants back on, and then they would get lap dances. Because when you're getting that rub, they would be able to come just. So they would do it. So that is out with that's the funniest old hockey.

And then they would go back and they would have come pants, though. They would have come in there, but they would go back and they would put their boxers on. And then they would they know, they wouldn't be feeling the wetness of the come on their dress pants. Yeah, but then these guys are savages, hockey trick. Total savages. Yeah.

What one of which ended up, well, I guess we won't go there because we had to take it off the podcast because he got a little bit of trouble. Hey, my boyfriend is a hockey guy. He always references to sex as getting in the crease. And it's really annoying. What are some things that could try to get him to stop? I I've never heard that term.

And I don't know. Tell him to stop saying it. What are you about tape to tape? Just tell him it's a fake hockey. Yeah. Oh, you. Oh, we got to give him a new hockey. Yeah, we got to give him something about the penalty box. Yeah. The Sin Ben. Oh, there you go. I want to get in the Sin Ben.

I like that. I don't I don't really have anything for you guys up this one. I think I gave you guys enough ammo with asking Jake if you want to. You know, that one will keep me going for a while. Maybe we can take that one. What do you think, Jake? What should be the new term for sex in relation to hockey? It's time to go.

No, you know, no, Craig McTavish. We're going no helmet tonight. Top cheddar. Oh, I like that, Craig McTavish. We're going scoring zone. Oh, OK. Yeah. The red line. Power play. Yeah. That time of the month, we're going to hit the red line. Yeah. Red line and dump it in.

I mean, we could do you could tee up the conference finals regardless, because we love you when you come on and everyone loves you when you're on. And at that time, I'm sure our bet, my bet with Whit would have played through. Yeah, I think you'd look good bald. You'd have to grow the mustache out a little bit, I think.
