On today's part in my take, we recap the NBA playing games, we have Hot Seat Cool Throne, some FAQs for you, and Craig Robinson, you might know him as Daryl from The Office, stops by. First guess we've ever had on to do an impromptu song, that happened, it was awesome, a little jam session. Yeah, tune in for that. We're recording this portion before the game, so Nets won by 10 and KD had 55. And Ben Simmons had a triple double, turnovers, bricks, airballs. Cavs Clippers, moneyline. Cavs Clippers, moneyline, there you go, from Henry.

Before we get into all of that, we're brought to you by our friends at Coors Light, it's a hectic time of year, between weddings, graduations, spring sports and more. We're busier than ever right now and sometimes we forget to take a second for ourselves. So this season, take a second to enjoy an ice cold Coors Light because you deserve a beer that's made to chill. There's only one beer out there that's literally made to chill and that's Coors Light. The mountains on the bottles and cans even turn blue when your beer is cold, that way you always know when it is time to chill, when you need to hit the reset button. Just open up a Coors Light, it's mountain cold refreshment made to chill. I love to have a Coors Light. When the sun starts

Thank you to Coors Light, our favorite beer in the entire world. Okay, let's go. It's a part of my take. It's a part of my take presented by Varsity Sports. Welcome to part of my take presented by Coors Light. Today is Wednesday, April 13th and the

playing games fucking rule. So we're doing this all from home. The rest of the show is in studio, but we decided for the listeners, you know, we're huge ball is life. We watched all the playing games so we could give everyone a recap of Glue Girl and Pat Beverly and the Nets and everything. Yeah, I mean, I think I think Skip Bayless said it best, whatever happened to Lagann James. That's the that's the real storyline. But no, you're right. Like Pat Bev, this was the Pat Bev game. I fucking love that guy. He's the best. He's the absolute best. He's the best agitators, the best pest. He could be a good hockey player. He's he's fun to watch, man. And this was personal for him. You saw like a play in peace said before the game talked about in the last show that this

was not going to be Pat Beverly against the Clippers. Pat took that personally. I was thinking about it because it really was like, you know, how whenever Patrick Beverly does something, it's like, oh, Pat, Pat Bev moment, right on Twitter. We had like a thousand of those in one single game tonight. The reason why he is so great and like so much fun to watch, we as fans always are like, we wish that the guys that we rooted for, they obviously care, but that they cared like so personally as much as we do. And he is like the epitome of that he cares more than any fan that's in there. He cares so so much that he like was motherfucking Steve Ballmer. He was yelling at every single player. Like it was so personal for him. And it was so

much fun to watch. And he and Anthony Edwards put on a goddamn show like Anthony Edwards, one of one of, I also love when players have a heat check and it goes so poorly. Anthony Edwards had that run in the fourth quarter where he was like dunking, hitting threes. And then they had a four on one where he just had like, I don't know, three full seconds with no one around him. And he completely airballed the three. And I was like, that's my guy because in life, you got to take heat checks. And he took a heat check and he missed with an airball, but it doesn't matter because he had a hell of a game. And it was so much fun to watch the Timber Wolves. Like the crowd was insane, everything, all of it in the Clippers. Like the Clippers are the

same team as they always are. They're just the same team. Like playoff P plays really well for a while. And you're like, damn, this guy's so good. And then they give up a lead in the fourth quarter and the team with like younger guys who are more exciting and want it more end up beating them. It just, I feel like I watch the Clippers every year, the same exact story every single year. So back to your point about, about Pat Bev being the guy that, that tries as hard as fans think that they would try if they were in a game. He's not a, he's not a guy that you want like necessarily to be a featured player on your team in a series. He's not going to go out there and win a series by himself, but the play in game is the perfect environment for Patrick Beverly,

because it literally is just like one game, go out and give everything that you have. And that's like the, that's the antithesis of what the, what the Clippers are and what they've been made out of. Paul George had a couple of nice shots. He played, he played pretty well. He, I don't think that there's any player in the NBA that travels as much as Paul George, like dads across America. We're screaming at their television, just throwing shit out there being like, they don't call carries, they don't call it, they don't call steps anymore in this, in this game. More than travels, he's pushoff P. He just pushes off on every single possession, which I mean he, he, there's something about Paul George, like when you watch him play, you're like,

damn, that guy's really good, but it doesn't really mean anything. Like when you, like even the, the fucking three that he hit at the end, when they're down like eight or whatever, and it was just a beautiful, like he launched a perfect shot from, I don't know, 40 feet. It was like, yep, that's, that's playoff P right there. That's, that's playing P and the Clippers now have to go fight for their lives in the Timberwolves. I, it felt like justice that both of the seven, like the teams with the seven seed, was it with the wolves? Wolves with seven, right? Yeah. The seven, right. It feels like justice, like when that happens, because I love the playoff playing game. I think last year I poo pooed it. I was like glued to my

television tonight. I still like part of me feels like it would be so wrong if like a seven seed ended up missing the entire playoffs. Oh, for sure. But it, but it's great that it played out this way. You were glued to the TV. The fans were glued to the court. Arod was spilling Tito's and sodas everywhere. The environment, I love the environment in Minnesota. And after the game, I think Carl Anthony Towns was the one that they interviewed. It could have been Anthony Edwards, I'm not sure, but one of the guys said like, I think, I think this is the first game that we've had all season that's been on television. I don't think that's entirely correct. But I know what he's saying, like it's the first time that I've been exposed as a fan to like watching Minnesota Timberwolves,

a home game that gets that lot. I'm, I'm actually pumped for that series against the Grizzlies, because I think the teams are very similar in terms of like the Grizzlies were always the team, even when they, when they kind of stunk, that would sneak into the playoffs. And they're the team that would like give the two seed or the one seed absolute hell in the first round, because they played so hard. Them against the Timberwolves, I'm glad that we get to see Minnesota and that home stadium a few more times this postseason. Now, as for the woman that glued herself to the court, the attempted gluing, I did a little bit of research on what she was protesting exactly. What happened?

She, so the woman, so this woman, yeah, P.F.T. will tell you exactly what she was doing, but this woman, the game stopped for a minute. A woman basically just like covered her hand and it looked like Elmer's glue, like like the glue that you use when you're doing a project in kindergarten, not like actual epoxy or gorilla glue that might actually have a chance of sticking. And she just slapped her hand on the floor and was laying there. It was an all time visual when Patrick Beverly, another Patrick Beverly moment was standing over her in a security guard and they're like, what the fuck are you doing? And her palm print was on the baseline. Well, she stopped the security guard. She was like, no, don't you can't you can't take me off

my hand stuck to the court. You're not going to be able to move me at all. I don't know what kind of glue or ever to set in. And it only works if you're if you're literally gluing like a bunch of little tiny stars to a piece of paper. It would have been it would have been great if she were protesting animal abuse with something that was literally made from Seattle, Sue's grandson. You know, like, I think it was Elmer's, which I don't believe is made from horse hooves, but she was protesting the Timberwolves owner, Glenn Taylor. He has a farm and on his farm. It's a chicken farm. He sold the team to A-Rod, though, didn't he? He technically still he's like doing one of those transition like, you know, how the will ponds are kind of like around the Mets.

He's doing a transitional thing where in 2023 is when A-Rod and Mark Laurie finally take over. But it is kind of funny because it's like they're Glenn Taylor's. You could have done this. I guess the Timberwolves haven't been in the playoffs a lot, but you could have done this at any point that he owned the team's no last like 25 years, which she was protesting wasn't just a chicken farm. She was protesting the fact that he very recently had to kill a bunch of chickens because they all got bird flu. And so she she's going to be shocked when she finds out what it is a chicken farm does with the chickens, even when they're not sick. But that's what that's what she was making a statement about. It was it was very funny, like her pretending that her hand

couldn't move off the court. And then the handprint that was left afterwards, it looked like a CSI episode. It was just a crazy environment. I loved watching. Yeah, it was insane. And yeah, you're right. Like, I don't know her protest. This is I bet you, Pete is going to come out and speak against her because the one thing I've learned about all these protests is Pete has got got a shit together and these like rogue animal people always make Peter look bad because she looked like a fucking moron with her hand glued to the like, but do you think there was some meeting beforehand where she's like, All right, I could run on the floor. Everyone's done that. What if I glue myself to the floor with glue that will take 60 to 90 minutes to set in and is literally

only used for paper mache, not body parts to wood. It's not even wood glue. Like she'd use wood glue. I'd have been like, Hey, good try. Good effort. It still wouldn't work. But at least it would have been the correct glue to get yourself on the on the floor. It doesn't even really work for construction paper. The only thing that's meant for it. It's like subpar. She would have been better if she had a glue stick that she smuggled in and tried to use one of those things. I don't think that there was a meeting because to have a meeting, you have to have friends. And she didn't really strike me as somebody that has a vast network. But I think you're right about PETA that they get it's almost not like they have their shit together, but they get jealous. They have like their warlords. PETA

is a warlord. So if anybody is protesting animal rights, and they're not under the purview of PETA and not being monitored by PETA, then they're like, Nope, they're not part of the tribe. Sorry, we don't. Yeah, we don't know what she's doing. Yeah, it was it was all the time. We also should mention D'Angelo Russell was like incredible. I loved like the Timberwolves have a bunch of young talent. And it was like each guy picked a spot like, All right, I'm going to carry the team. And except for Carl Anthony Towns, who I actually like, he has to feel terrible right now because the game changed when he got when he fouled out. Like it was it was a direct court. There was two runs that happened in this game. One was the glue girl gun run, where she glued herself to the the

floor and the Timberwolves finished the second quarter on a hot run. And then the second was in the fourth quarter, when Carl Anthony Towns, who had a horrendous game, complained about every foul horrendous game, like everyone who's like, who criticizes him and says that he should be so much better than he is. And he's soft and all these things. Tonight was not a night that he proved the naysayers wrong. And then he gets fouled out. And the Timberwolves make a run and win that game. I don't if you're Carl Anthony Towns, I don't need you shouldn't even shower. She's go get in your car and be like, All right, we're in the playoffs. I'll try again on Saturday. I think he had three assists, four turnovers, five rebounds, six fouls and three for 11 from the field.

Yeah, not a great night for him. And now a little sneak preview of later on this morning on Undisputed, are the Timberwolves better without Carl Anthony Towns? Is the question many people are asking? Sure. I'm signing up for where you're going to say Hank? I'm seeing some narratives about people like kind of kind of roasting the Timberwolves for celebrating the fact that they won the game. And LeBron posted a bunch of crying emojis immediately after the TNT coverage was showing like Pat Beverly throwing his jersey in the crowd. NBA on TNT was roasting them like, this is no different. Obviously, it's it's new, the playing tournament is new, but this is no different than an MLB team celebrating like

the Divisional Round, an NFL team. Like this is a round of the playoffs. The NBA made this a round of the playoffs. If you win at home, you should celebrate. Not only that, but let's let's give a shout out to and LeBron didn't even make the playoffs. What's he crying emoji? I'm sure Hank would keep that same energy if LeBron had celebrated a playing tournament win, right? Yeah. Or Minnesota AWLs. Minnesota. You can't even make the playoffs. So that's not a problem. But they are, the Minnesota franchises can absolutely, whenever we say like, oh, Buffalo or Cleveland, Minnesota sports have taken the cake. Like now that Atlanta's won a couple, you know, with Georgia and the Braves, Minnesota is an absolute factory of sadness. The Timberwolves

had Kevin Garnett, who is a top 75 player of all time. They went to one Western conference final with him. Like the twins have lost because I've been in a little bit of a fight with the twins Twitter because they don't post their losses. People, and I actually feel bad because twins fans are like, dude, we've lost 13 straight playoff games. I think that's right. 13 straight playoff games, which is almost impossible to do. And I think they've all been to the Yankees. The Vikings are the Vikings and Kirk Cousins is their quarterback. And they're the state of hockey in the Minnesota wild, just losing the playoffs in the first or second round every year. So if you're a Minnesota fan, celebrate like this is a championship because it has been that bad

and they deserve a young, fun team like this. You just wish Carl Anthony Towns a little bit better. But Anthony Edwards, Anthony Edwards, when he dunks, he dunks so fucking hard. He's, he wants to kill the rim. It's, I love it. I love watching him play. He wants to be made, by the way. That's Tom Kreen made. Remember that for the resume. Tom Kreen coached Anthony Edwards at Georgia. He's also a guy that likes to get his eyes above the rim. I feel like every time I see him throwing down, he's like staring down into the basket, which is always cool to watch. Where are you saying, calling him aunt? I have is a fucking cool thing. I have it on mute, but TNT is just cooking, cooking them. Like they're here. I can't have it on mute, but they're like going

replays of them celebrating and like posting like people's tweets and stuff, laughing. No, I don't care. I don't care. Yeah. You can't tell a franchise to act like you've been there before when they have absolutely not. Not only that, but sports is about enjoying the ride. Like you, only one team wins. What the fuck are we doing? You, you have to enjoy the ride. You have to enjoy these moments. If you don't, there's no reason to be a sports fan. Like you imagine, telling Minnesota win the title. Imagine, imagine telling Minnesota Timberwolves fans like, Hey, don't celebrate until you get to NBA finals. It's like, what's, what are you going to do? Why would you ever show up to anything? There's no, you would never have joy.

I have friends from Minnesota and it's like literally, I actually remember when KG, they went to the Western Conference final because I was in college at the time and, and it was like, we've never like, well, we've never had this and they never had it again. Like that's what happens with Minnesota sports. So fuck that. Fuck all the haters, Minnesota fans, justice for you. Enjoy the hell out of the night. If I were you, I'd watch every single replay of Anthony Edwards dunks and Patrick Beverly screaming at everyone in Carl Anthony towns, fouling out and complaining about fouls. One quick thing about LeBron, I don't want to make this playoffs about LeBron, but he's going to definitely try to make the

playoffs about him. Did you see he also tweeted like two hours ago, he said, I'm sitting here after watching the WNBA draft the other day and wondering why the hell do these young ladies have to stay in school for four years before being able to go pro. I'm confused. There's no way. There's no way he watched the WNBA draft. There's a 0.0% chance. If he was watching the WNBA draft, he would have tweeted it during the WNBA draft, not 24 hours later being like, just a thought I've had on my mind recently. Well, it was my thoughts. It was taco Tuesday today. His brain was elsewhere. He was thinking about dinner all day. Then he probably had, I'm going to check his Instagram, see how many stories he had to put up while he was cooking

taco Tuesday today. But yeah, I mean, yes, I did see what LeBron had. I have LeBron notifications set up on Twitter. There's no way that's the best way to use the platform. Nobody's no way. Speaking of LeBron, the Cleveland Cavaliers at least advanced farther in the playoffs than he did. Yes, that's well, yes, that's true. They're now going to be playing on Friday night. Let's talk about that game. I have a series of the year bet. A series of the year. Interesting. I'm doing a season of the year with the Pirates, but series of the year, series of the year bet. I mean, I don't have it right because the fact that you just did it with that transition. What were you going to say, Hank? What's your guess? What was your guess?

Well, I was confused because when you said that, I looked in like there wasn't series odds for the Celtics one. So my guess was the Warriors, but I didn't feel great about it. But clearly, with the way you just set this up, it's not. I don't think it's good for me. No, I, well, I guess it's depending on if you think I'm bad at my series of the year bets. I think the Celtics are going to beat the Nets. I watched like that game tonight. Kyrie didn't miss a shot for three quarters. And the Cavs were shooting 40%. The Cavs didn't play a good one. Yeah. Kyrie Irving played perfect basketball. Kevin Durant was, you know, obviously Kyrie Irving was going off, but they were doubling him. So he was, he was facilitating more than he,

you know, usually does. He could probably, Kevin Durant could score 35 any night he wants. But I watched that game being like the Nets just don't have any defense and the Cav like the Nets are playing perfect and the Cavs are still in this game. You, that game made no sense when you're watching it, the way the Nets were playing, they would be up 20 and you'd be like, game over. They're up 40 to 20 to start after the first quarter. And then because they can't play defense, the Cavs would just keep coming back. I, Hank, I'm sorry, but I, I think that the, the Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving Nets have been vastly overrated and everyone's scared of them. I think the Celts are going to beat them in six. I mean, your bet minus one 15. I like that a lot. I think the Celts are

way better in terms of team basketball. They're a million times better. Kevin Durant's like probably the greatest like pure score probably of all time. And he took over in the fourth quarter, going against that's never fun, but I agree with you that the Celtics are way, a way better team. And they have way better defense. Obviously they don't have Robert Williams, but still like their team defense should help with that. And, and I agree. I'm with you. The Nets have to play perfect basketball. They have to have Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving play perfect basketball. And I, I wasn't like, I didn't have an opinion on this series before tonight, obviously, because it wasn't set. But when I saw that it was like, it's PFT, I think it's minus one 10 Celtics to

win the series. And I was like, what's going on here? I think you're insane. Actually, I think that the Nets are going to womp the Celtics. I really, I really do. I think it's going to be a wampan because they, yes, it's going to be WHOMP, a wampan, IAN, apostrophe. When they want to play well, they can play well. They are the rare team that I think the switch can be flipped on. And so the Celtics, but, but they couldn't even flip it tonight because the Cavs kept on coming back. They did though. They were flipping it on and flipping it off. You could, you could pinpoint the moment. You can't do that against a good team. You can't do that against a good team. The Cavs have their, like their best players are injured and they still almost won the game

because they're scrappy as fuck. And they're a great team basketball team. So that's why they kept it closed. The Celtics minus Robert Williams have their best players. Like I, Oh, listen, I don't think, I don't think, I'm going to wait to, I'm going to look at it more. So I'm not going to release it yet. I'll release it. If I release it, it'll be like on Friday. I just don't, I, I saw that line and I was like, what are, why is everyone, because, you know, obviously the conversation going into this weekend, last weekend was like everyone's trying to avoid the nets. And I get it. Obviously the nets are way better than the bowls right now. The bowls are fucking complete garbage. So the bucks were smart to do that. I just don't, I,

I don't know. I have a prediction. So also playing into my prediction here is I do think that Ben Simmons is coming back. I think that he's ready. I think that they're, they've just been waiting to get him back out there. You saw him. Let me ask you this, a guy that is going to be out for the remainder of the playoffs. Do you think he would sit directly in the middle of the bench wearing a neon green leprechaun Notre Dame mascot uniform with shorts? That was like, that's Ben Simmons. I think I would love it if he comes back. He's not like they're not going to know how to play with him. And by the way, I've never noticed this about Ben Simmons night from like the waist up. He's not like an enormously tall guy. His shins are

gigantic. His shins were like half a foot taller than anybody else that was sitting down on the side. His knees were so high. It's crazy. I mean, he's a very tall guy, six, 10. I do think that he's going to come back. I think that he's ready to come back. Here's, here's the other thing that made me think that this might be a series of the year bet after the game. I think it was, was it Bruce Brown said this when he was like, we're going to just attack them because they don't have Williams because he's hurt still. And Kevin Durant then went and corrected him. It was like, whoa, whoa, like that's, I think he said like that, that's crazy. Like every game is going to be tough. This is going to be a difficult team. I, I don't know. I just, they had like the number

one round. Again, Rob Williams being out is, is bad, but he was one part of the Celtics, the second half of the season, like have played unbelievable team basketball and unbelievable defense. Like they're, they're going to be absolutely like ready to fight. It's not going to be, it's not going to be a wamping. A wamping is, is cap. It's no knock on, it's no knock on Katie. They're clearly incredible. I just don't know how defensively they can play seven games and like get stops when they need to. I, I trust the Celtics to get a stop before I trust, trust the Nets, the watching tonight's game, the calves, the, the Nets should have beaten the calves by 40 and they should have been over

after the first quarter she's been like, all right, this game's over. And they just, the calf just kept on coming back. And I guess maybe it's more scrappy calves, but I just watched. I was like, what the fuck? I think it's scrappy calves and they kept coming back, but it was never, it never felt super close. It never felt like the Nets were in any real serious danger. They'd be, you know, within like five, six points, whatever that was, but every single time that it got that close, then that's just, they flipped the switch again. I think, I think the Nets are just that good. And Hank, I'm okay. You don't think it's going to be a wamping. I think it's going to be a wamping. I think it's not going to go seven. That's what I mean. I think

it's Nets and five, Celts and five, Nets and six. So if it doesn't go seven and your team and the Celtics win, I'll stop saying cap forever. And likewise you have to stop saying, I want to nip that in the bud. I hate hearing you say cap. All right. Did you see the commercial where the dude says cap and then the late in the ladies like, Oh, and I was like, Oh, that's part of my take. Yeah. Like they just stole our bit, but it's not a bit because PFT says it. No, no, I brought cat back. Yeah. That game though, obviously, I mean, Kyrie was insane. It was insane to watch him. What did he end up from the field? He was at one point, he was 11 for 11. 12, 15, three of six from three, seven of seven from the line.

That's crazy. He was so, so good. And like I said, Kyrie or Katie didn't even like have to assert himself offensively until the very end, but it is scary. He is. He's the best score in the NBA. He is the best score in the NBA. What about our friend Blake is Blake? Where's his health at right now? Blake issues, boys. He's getting nice. He's getting nice doubt. All the Blake's are. Yeah, we are the only Blake that's doing well right now is the original Blake in Bortles because you just know even if he's not playing on a team, he's just happy. Well, because he's, yeah, you know, he's doing awesome because he's unemployed and it's about to be summertime. That's awesome. You can't, you can't have a better career than that. That's the

goal. I did talk to Blake Griffin a couple of days ago. Yeah, he's ready to go. So let's put him in, put him in coach. Let's get him in. Let's get him some minutes. Let's get him some, it's playoff basketball time. You need people out there doing the hard shit and Blake's ready to go. Yep. Yep. Couldn't have said it better myself. Bring, put Blake in, give Blake some minutes. He's a spark plug that that might be what the Nets need to toughen up a little bit. He's going to go out there and Blake's going to give you six hard fouls. We got to go to one of the games. Yes, we should go to one of the games. We absolutely will go to one of the games. So I'm not, I'm, I'm holding back my series of the year bet until Friday. I'm going to decide, but that's the way

I'm leaning. I just, I saw that price and I was like, even if it goes seven, I would trust the Celtics at home over the Nets. I don't, PFT, you think it's a wampant? I think it's a wampant, guys. I don't care where they play the games. You can play it anywhere. You play in the Hoosiers gym. You play, I don't care. Jake, any cool things that you, do you think Patrick Beverly was maybe yelling too much? Well, it was awesome. But like, I understand why people are mad. Also, they got Minnesota fans are going to come after you because you forgot the Minnesota links that won fourth WNBA titles since 2011. That's LeBron's fault. He should have reminded everyone tonight. He would if LeBron had any cooth, he should have tweeted Minnesota fans. Why are you celebrating like

this? You got a dynasty in the WNBA. That would have been, that would have been a tweet I would have gotten behind from LeBron. Right. Also the Grizzlies versus Timberwolves logos are way too similar in terms of colors. I don't know if you've seen them side by side, but it's interesting. I do think that the, well, I miss the old Grizzlies uniforms. Those were maybe the best in sports. They wear them sometimes. Yeah. It's always so cool when they do. And I always think Bryant Reeves, big country Reeves, that's what those old Vancouver Grizzlies remind me of. I do think that the Timberwolves have awesome jerseys though, very underrated uniforms. Yeah, they do. I'm excited. The playing game, good job, Adam Silver. Like I said last year,

I'm pretty sure I shit on it because I am like deathly afraid of a team. I'm going to look it up right now, but like the idea that a team could win, let's see, the, the, yeah, like, like for instance, the, the Timberwolves, the idea that the Timberwolves could somehow miss the playoffs, and they have 12 more wins than the Spurs, that would like piss me off to no end. Do you know what I mean? That would be, that would make me so angry to be like, how is that? How can you have that happen when a team like the Spurs are 34 and 48 and could make the playoffs? Guess what? Ball don't lie. Don't lie. So we got the results we wanted tonight. Like that was a, those are good games. The two home teams won. The two higher seeds won. Hank, you are now in a,

it's Hank versus Frank. You're in a, you're in a fight to the death with Frank Fleming. Well, I think me and Frank are probably on the same page that the Nets are bad. So that, that part is good. I also have way humongous amount on the Pelicans to make it to the playoffs, which means they have to win today as you're listening, and then beat the Clippers, which is a revenge game for our, our bet versus them in New Orleans. So I don't know about that now. Now that it's all, now that it's all kind of played out, well, it's like they played at the end of the regular season, they could have clinched a playoff, but if they got smoked, hopefully that doesn't happen again. Yeah. I don't feel great about it.

I don't feel great about it. They had to play on Wednesday night and then fly to LA. Yeah. Yikes. Wednesday night in New Orleans, and they had to fly to LA right after the game to go play the Clippers. Anything can happen. But it's, but it's playing P. Yeah. He's, come on. And either of those teams is just going to get smoked by the Suns. So that's actually the best part of tonight is that the Timberwolves didn't deserve to get smoked by the Suns like that. They can, they can win a couple of games against the Grizzlies. The, the playing against the Suns would have been very, very bad because the Suns are that good. Cavs might be the heat. Hank, you. Hank, you're just going to. This is Hank. Just this is Hank chasing his bet.

We saw it. Dude, there are scrappy as fuck. Hank is the, Hank is the dog in the fire sipping the coffee, just being like the calves could beat slim fill in team. And they almost beat them tonight. Imagine if they had Jared Allen, like, but they didn't really, almost like they didn't really keep it close. They were like two possessions away in the fourth quarter, but they never took the lead. No, but it was close-ish. They covered. They did cover it easily. It's true. Yeah. All right. I just, Hank will, I know what you're doing and you're, you're, you were right about the Cavs when you put a bet on them earlier this year. I think that's what you want is to be acknowledged that you were correct about the Cavs. You were,

you were, you were the only person in all of media across the board. Yeah. But you were still right even though you were wrong. You're really, you were more right than anybody else was about the Cavs. So I think you can take your victory lap on that, but like, let's not get delusional here. That might be my series of the year, but they might not even, they might not even make the playoffs. We'll cross that region. We get there. That would be perfect though. If they didn't make the playoffs, Hank could always say forever, like that Cavs team would have beaten that heat team. Yes. If they just got, if Jared Allen came back, which is he coming back? I love Jared Allen. I don't know. He was questionable and then he was ruled out. I probably not going to be back full

strength either way, but if they win on, what is it, Thursday, then I think I'll be back for Miami. Friday, Friday. Yeah. All right. And the, and 330 is your game on Sunday, Hank. I'm at 630. So it's NBA playoffs and we're, we credit to us. It's one o'clock in the morning. Bubba and memes are still at the office. So is Evan. We're, we're, we're in playoff mode. Yeah. Shout out to boys for getting the YouTubes up early. Yes. All right. Let's go to the rest of the show in studio.

Well, we have to bring it up. I thought it was a fire fast. Yeah, we got a couple of days. We can't sit for that long. Hank, I just want to say before you walk us through what's been going through your mind and how you feel, I just want to say I'm on your side on this. I don't know what you're talking about and neither do you listen. So, yeah, so let me explain it. So I was sitting minding my own business at home on Monday night. I was actually putting my kids to sleep and I get a text message.

You're a father? You have a father too? I got bothered by you, Hank, with this text message. Sorry to your one kid. That's two. Trolling. Well, actually, it's three. Hank's not. Billy and you too, because now I have to worry about what you're going to text to everyone. So, four. This is Hank lashing out right now.

Oh, big time. He's about to get contentious. I don't like this. Oh, no. Yeah, Jake's nervous. So there was a text message thread that Caleb, our great colleague, Caleb, started six years ago at the Super Bowl. It was me, Caleb, Dave, Gazz, and Hank. We were at the Super Bowl. I think it was probably after a late night of drinking. It was 3.23 in the morning. He texted everyone, good night, fam. I texted one love because I love you guys. And name the group. Name the group, fam. No text messages on that group chain for six years. Flash forward to last night

and Hank sends us a picture of just a sweaty face staring deep into our souls. His sweaty face. And it says F 45 day one check mark. And we're all like, huh? And I actually didn't even, I looked at it. I was like, oh, this is weird. And then I just kept on doing what I was doing. And then an hour later, Hank was like, whoops, I meant to send this to my family. And since then, yeah, it's pretty much the worst people you could ever send a text message to. Me, Dave, and Gazz. The internet has memed you. And I'm uncomfortable with you in the room. I submitted an HR complaint because you snitch unsolicited. Because you're my boss now. And you work on the third floor and the power structure is so

off that you send me. There is no power structure. Nothing has changed. You sit on top of us. Yeah, you sent us, you sent me a picture that made me feel uncomfortable. And then you tried to silence me by calling me a snitch. That's fucked up. It is a snitch move. I did because you turned him into HR. You said all that on the street. When I turned him into HR, I actually just went upstairs and was like, where's HR? And they like just pointed in the corner. And I just said out loud, I'd like to file a complaint against Hank and then walked back downstairs. Hank does send the corner office upstairs. No, I said, I sit with HR. So I took the complaint and just fucking this is corruption all the way down. So Hank, I'm uncomfortable being around you,

but I guess I have to power through credit to me. I feel like you should be supporting, I don't know, like again, no, I don't want that picture. Caleb, I blame, I'd say 48% of the blame is on Caleb. 48% of the blame is on loud Sean for spiking my phone, which forced me to get a new one, which when I turned it on, all the messages like repopulated, but only from Saturday night. That was the last time my cloud updated, which was who cares. It was a day's worth of meaningless text messages, but this group text, the PMT group text, my friends from home, and my family group text didn't show up. And I was like, whatever, new phone, new phone blues. I texted this group literally just to make sure things were going through. And then yeah, I worked out.

Again, new phone. So I was sweating and I didn't think the flash was on. Like I'm not used to my flash or my selfies being on. It's a shocking picture. So I typed in FAM because that's what my family group text is called. And I don't know. Again, I wasn't factoring in this fucking Superbowl crew from six years ago typed in FAM. Whoa, you say that, like, that's your FAM. It's not my FAM. Yeah, it is. It's not. That FAM was the first time I ever hung out with the company as a whole. You know what? That was probably post-second slices at the House of Prime Rib. Yeah, House of Prime Rib. And you doubt that's your family or your FAM. It was my family. And you just, I mean, I'm just, I don't know. The best was that Hank text me after

on the side. Either way, I went back and texted. And when I realized that it was those three, I like pretty much, I got paralyzed from embarrassment. Once I realized it was Gaz, like I said earlier, like if it was, if it was maybe Caleb and Big Cat, like you probably would have posted it, but maybe wouldn't have, or like I could have talked you out of it. Gaz probably definitely would have, Dave probably wouldn't have just because he wouldn't have known what was going on. And like Caleb wouldn't have like, but the fact that it was all three of you just like piling on was just, I knew it was no shock. Hank sent me a text after he's like, I haven't felt like this in a really long time. And it just made me so happy because it's like,

this guy, he's been promoted to vice president of bar stool sports. He's literally our boss. Executive vice president. And he's still, and, but it's nice because we can do like a throwback 2014 Hank embarrasses himself. You just, when you thought that the suit had gotten, you know, you'd graduated. I don't think it was anything to be embarrassed. I thought you looked good. You looked like you were in shape. What's just such a weird picture. I'm scared. Like it wasn't, like I, I wasn't thinking, like when you take a selfie, sometimes you take a picture and I don't know, again, I don't know what I was thinking. I don't know what I was doing. I thought I was sending it to my flesh and blood. Yeah. I was actually turning and sending it to literally.

Good job. How was it? Like, I understand how it's here's me playing paddle tennis. I understand my wordal score. It's like, just, it's family shit. It's not like, it's, I don't, I don't really drop in that much. Like it's, I'm probably the least active and never do it again. They're kind of like, you know, why don't you ever update us? I'm like, I don't really have much update. I'm like, Oh, I worked out. Like, here we go. Yeah. That was my biggest question because I understand how the mishap can happen, but the big question is why, why are you sending your family sweaty photos of yourself after working out? It was just like, I, you know, here, what, here's an update. Like I don't play wordal.

I don't like, I'm not like. Also it didn't prove that you worked out. It just, it could be like your air conditioning couldn't have worked. Like you weren't at the gym. You were just sweaty and scary. I actually listened. It was a mistake. Like it wasn't something I really thought out it was just like, here's a quick little text message and no one's going to see it. And the memes were very funny to my family. And then yeah, fucking we had, that's where it's like, I regretted anything I've ever done to help memes. I regretted it in the past two days. Moon memes were blacked out, but most blood in the water. It's all over when he sees a new meme template, just hit the internet. It's like over for a while. Like his timeline was like a hundred

tweets. Yeah. Imagine memes just like Nils. I don't know. I think he might live with his parents. He's like, mom, like clear my schedule. I got memes to me. There's going to be a couple of things he works in. One, he's going to do, he's absolutely going to do the Vin Diesel, the goodbye to Paul Walker with it. He's probably going to work in a Castellanos here or there. But I think that when I first saw it, it came through on, on my radar from Tom Farnelli. Yeah. No, because it's interesting. Hank, it came through sports. I thought it was a sports podcast. Well, you were working out Tom 45 Tom Farnelli sent it to us and I looked at it and he said, they're probably going to hear this. That's the worst part. And I was saying, I don't understand why Hank is down

bad. And I checked Twitter like 20 minutes later and I was like, oh, oh, now I get it. But I thought like this might be just a sneaky way of Hank letting everybody know that he was in the gym. Yeah. Like that's pretty cool. No, but like it's worse because it's day one and like, yeah, who knows if it's going to last and now it kind of has to last because like, you better get that six pack buddy. In 30 days, we were going to be like, what day? Like I, which I guess isn't the worst. Like it's forcing me. It's kind of like, I've been publicly shamed to continue working out, which is probably good for me, but just just really, really bad, really, really embarrassing.

Like I just like, I was laughing so hard last night. No, I didn't move from my couch and I tried to just tweet through it. Like I tried to just, you know, yeah, the, bet the Padres Giants first five innings over and just like tweet about that a bunch. Yeah. Yeah. Don't really matter. Oh no, there's like 10, 10 runners left on base, second and third every single inning for both teams. It was, I think that was, I think that was the last thing I talked to Hank last night. He just texted me. He's like, I really need five runs in these first five. Yeah. Which you should have done is just go on. That would have been a good, a little bit of like, you should have just gone on a,

on a retweet spree and played ratio defense like Adam Schefter's playing. There was no positives where it's just, you just retweet everything and then you can't be ratio. I had nothing to read. There was, there was no one in my corner. There's no one like, oh, this is funny or like, do you look good? It was just like, what the fuck? I had a million memes. Most of them from inside the house. Yeah. The call is coming from inside the house. All right. Well, I mean, you know, it shit happens. Congrats on the workout. Hank, you, I also, I also take Hank, Hank is now at the point between the coach K, like the fact that he works like a nine to five and has to put on a suit every day. And this picture, he, this boy needs a Celtics to win the

title. Like we have now somehow gotten into a, it's never happened in the history of this podcast where people should actually be rooting for Hank's teams because they need doing this on purpose. No, I'm not. I'm not. We've never been on a course. This is literally uncharted territory versus a podcast. You're so, you're such a winner. I've talked about it. I'm not bad. I'm great. Was it down bad? I'm up good. You're up good. Well, at least your favorite quarterback wasn't planning on coming back to play for the Dolphins as a team owner. That would have been tough. Wait, so is that a story? Well, I saw the rumblings of that story. I mean, there's about as good. What? Like you just, you just live in fantasy land. Like Dan Snyder is going to sell a team.

Tom Brady is going to play for the Dolphins. Come back to earth. He went after me being a dad. Now he's coming after you. This is exactly what happened. Tom Brady was going to take those meetings. He was going to come and play for the Dolphins. He was going to get Sean Payton to be the head coach of the Dolphins. He hates the Patriots so much and you personally so much that he wanted to stay in. Like you're just literally fan fiction. I'm telling you, I'm telling you why you and your dad are just right fan fiction because the Brian Flora is lawsuit. Florio does borderline on fanfic. Sometimes he, he had a tweet today about Aaron Rogers is going to miss OTAs and it's like I fell for it. I was like, Oh, is he going to hold out? No. And he hold out. That's, that's

what's beautiful. The NFL does need like a what if guy and he's the ultimate what if guy. Like, Oh, they're already mad at each other. But you could also spin that to be like Bill Belichick actually released that text message. No, listen to me. I'm not even listening to anything you're saying. Bill Belichick sent that text message to Brian Flores telling him like, Oh, congrats on the job. That whole thing. He sent that to him so that Brian Flores would then sue prompting Tom Brady to not be able to play for the dolphins. There it is. That actually adds up. If it were something that happened, that would, but again, you're writing fan fiction because it all makes sense. Well, it's, it's we're in a lull right now. NBA playoffs have been fully started, you know,

baseball just started. We haven't gotten to hockey playoffs yet. So you, you know, posting gym selfies and getting mad about Tom Brady hypotheticals is what we have to do for content. Why? I feel, am I wrong? Or did hockey playoffs start before something happened this year? I don't know what, did they have a break? My internal clock has been so thrown off. I agree. It always used to start a week before the trucker convoy. They don't start till March. I mean, May, May, like first or second is the first hockey. So it's going to end after NBA? Yeah, I guess so. Although they do it a lot faster. Remember the NBA gets in that stretch where it's like, three games, three games, like three days off. Yeah, they take forever off. All right. Well,

let's, let's, let's get to hot seat. Cool throne. Good news is brought to you by better help. Hank, if you, you did say a lot of things online last night, that would make better help a natural sponsor for you. I was feeling suicide. Better help is online therapy that offers video, phone and even live chat sessions with your therapist. So you don't have to see anyone on camera if you don't want to. That's great. That's nice. You don't have to post your, you don't have to have your face just staring through your therapist's soul on camera. But seriously, better help. You take care of a lot of things in life. You know, my eyes were popping if you have no one said that, but they were people. People don't always

realize there's symptoms like headaches, teeth grinding, even digestive issues can be indicators of stress. We all deal with stress. You got to make sure that you take care of your mental stress shows up in all kinds of ways in a world that's telling you to do more, sleep less and grind all the time.

Oh, you're just leaning into this. No, not actually though. This is just nice. It was funny, but then he did the guy had a good response. Alec bomb. I don't know if you guys saw the clip. Yep. Made a bunch of errors. And then when he was walking off the field, he said he fucking hates this place. And so yeah, talking about Philly's a Philly's player. He's a Philly's player. He had three errors on the night. He said I fucking hate this place. I was like, you know, in a all in on crazy turn of events because there was a lot of lip readers. I love when lip readers get going on

the internet because it's it's kind of like the dress, you know, which one you see or what was Yanni or Laurel. People were saying he he was saying, let's get out of this or something like this position. Yeah, position. People were trying to say that he actually in his post game like the reporter asked him, he's like, yep, I said that. It was a moment of like anger. And I had the quote. Yeah, give me the quote. I said it. Emotion's got the best of me. Do I mean it? No, it's a frustrating night for me. These fans, they just want to win. They're great. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. And I think that actually ingratiates him to Philly even more. I think actually the more that the more you think Philly, the more you love it. Right. I think it's

totally appropriate. Even Philly fans probably even people from Philadelphia say, I fucking hate this place. Right. But that just means that you know Philly so well. Yeah, you love each other. Right. It's it's a love hate relationship, but it's at the same time. Yeah. No, I was actually kind of like, I saw his response like, holy shit, that was because he could have easily, easily said he said something else. And it just becomes a, you know, a story that everyone talks about. He completely like, this is a PR 101 masterclass. I said it. I was emotional. I don't mean it. Move on. And it's like, yep, I actually like this guy. The truth will set you free. Yeah. I think Philly will respect that. Yeah. In fact, like just just based off what I saw on Twitter

last night, all the Philadelphia fans that were applying to the story were like, yep, he gets it. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. All right. Your cool throne. My cool throne is Nikolaj Jokic. Yeah. He, it appears it's not official, but a bunch of the, I mean, the MVP NBA is just weird. All the writers like say who they voted. So people, you know, put it together and realize Jokic is going to win again. I was looking at the list. Like we should, we should try and get Jake a vote one of these days. But I have a question for everyone. He like the ringer has 12, 12 votes. Really? That's entirely too many votes for the ringer. We're still voted for him. They all go to Jason Tatum. I would, I would vote for Jokic. I would vote for Jokic if I had a vote.

He had a ridiculous year and he plays with like no one. I voted for Embiid personally. Do you want to have a debate? I think it, I, Embiid wins matter. They have like pretty much the same amount of wins matter though. Not as many as last year though. Who? Jokic. Yeah. I know he's playing with like complete scrubs and, and the wins matter thing doesn't really work when Embiid didn't play with Simmons for the whole, yeah. Cause he didn't play with Simmons. The hardened got hurt. I'm, I'm just, I'm, I'm just debating on their side, but yeah. There's been a very hard push for Embiid. I, I just think Jokic just played with like no one

and he does everything. Um, but what I was going to say is there, the MVP like debates to me or might be for professional sports, they mean nothing. Like I don't remember, do you remember any MVPs? Uh, yeah, you remember some, but you don't remember. Oh, like it's not something like, oh, I remember that. You remember who wins. I don't know. I remember, I remember Carson wins. Got two MVP votes in 2017. There you go. Uh, 2010. Any MVP. Give me any MVP from any league, Hank. See, this is my point. This is my point. I think it was LeBron. Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan. Okay. Dirk. I don't know. Maybe it was, yeah, it could have been Dirk. LeBron James. LeBron. I was right. 2008. That was right before he left. 2008.

Miami. Any MVP. LeBron. No. It wasn't KG. This is my point. It wasn't Paul Pierce. Kobe. Kobe. I was, I would have got there. I was going to get there. Yeah. I was trying to think of who else would have been involved. Then you go back and be like, Oh, they were, of course, but I'm saying like in a certain seat, who's the NFL MVP in 2008? Brady Manning. Peyton Manning. That was bull. Who is the MVP in 2012? Any MVP? This is just a game called. Drew Brees. It was, I'm not looking this up. I know. I just looked up LeBron. I think it was Adrian Peterson. Wasn't that his year? It might have been. Let's see. I'm looking up right now.

Adrian Peterson. Yeah. All right. So there we go. I guess we do remember some. MVP's matter. MVP's matter. I just like, I don't know. There's something about, I think, like Jake said, it's at, at the end of your career when you're like, that guy's a three-time MVP. That, then it matters. Like, Steve Nash has two MVPs. It's good during a player's career too, so that you can make the argument. If you're getting into a debate, if you find yourself in a situation where Hank, you're arguing against the entire city of Philadelphia, it would be good for you if Jokic won the MVP. Yes. Yes. All right. Good hot seat, cool throne, Hank. Good job, Hank. Hank's back, guys. Hey, you guys are the real MVPs. Nice.

Who said that? Kevin Durant. Durant. The 2013 season. I think that's right. Do you remember who he was talking to? 13. The reporter? No, his mom. No, I think it was his sheet, obviously. No, it was his mom. Yeah. Hank's. I thought you were talking about the reporter. You're the real MVP. You're the real MVP, Hank. Yeah. 14, 2004. Mr. Vice President. Damn. All right, P.F.T., your hot seat. My hot seat is Dan Snyder. For real this time. Oh. Legitimately, Dan Snyder, you crusty old bitch. You energy vampire. You piece of shit. I'm just falling to the Alex Jones thing where he yells at the camera. But there was a report that came out of Congress where Congress has been looking now into Dan Snyder's finances. Wow. They caught the fucker

and here's why I think that it's real, okay? Because I've fallen into this trap literally every time. I'm talking right now. Who's talking? Hank, you had your turn. You had your turn, Hank. Now it's my turn. Hate this. Hate this. Hank, mute yourself for the rest of this conversation. So as we discussed when John Gruden got busted with those emails, right? Correct. And Adam Schafter was reporting on it. He pulled the clean sweep. He insulted females, minorities, and NFL commissioners. Yes. That's it. That's all the protected classes. He's the owner. Shut the fuck up, Hank. Dan Snyder has now been busted. Sexual harassment. He's been busted for persecuting minorities. And now the clean sweep. Roger Goodell has been implicated too because some of the ticket funds that Dan

Snyder was misallocating actually came underneath Roger Goodell's tickets under his name for tickets that he was given to games. And so now it's like Roger Goodell's name is front and center in this. I think Dan Snyder is done. I think that mother fucker is done. I think he's going to get curb stomped by the rest of the owners and also it's been proven through the other books that have been released now, the documents that have been sent to Congress that he was taking money out of the pockets of Jerry Jones out of all the other owners. And if there's one thing like you can have 40 sexual harassment claims against you, if you take money from the other owners, that's when they're going to do something about it. Or maybe they won't. If it's the doomsday clock, it's never

been closer to midnight than it is right now. I'm fucking pumped. I'm going to have a parade when Dan Snyder goes when he's done. I cannot wait. Get the fuck out of here, you crusty old five foot five bitch. Fuck you. I hate you. Die of natural causes, but quickly. Okay. Jake is not happy. Jake is not happy right now. I mean, I'm rooting for you. It doesn't sound like you are. I am. I just how many like how many times this guy just have to skirt by before we're like, Hey, he's just never going to go away. What's the difference between John Gruden and Dan Snyder? People actually like John Gruden. Hmm. Well, Dan Snyder also owns the team. Yeah, he owns the team. Right. But he's a big difference

there. Another big difference is Dan Snyder is taking money from other owners who are the ones that get to decide whether or not he stays in the league. I'm rooting for you. I just don't think I just the guy survived everything. He's a fucking he's a zombie. He's a zombie owner that will not die. So it's more like I just don't I never he gets out of everything. You gotta double tap him. He gets out of everything. He's done. He gets out of everything. I would I would literally give anything for anybody in the world besides name anybody in the world. I would rather they be the owner of the Martian Commitment. Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Well, maybe maybe he would stop invading other countries. If you can quote card. Yes, I would PFT wants put out rather

Dan Snyder. Putin. Putin is never Jane. Yes. Oh, 100% OJ. Yes. I've guaranteed Dan Snyder just killed more people than OJ. You think so? Through grief, sorrow and stress. That's almost killed me multiple and that fucking stadium. It's a death trap. Falling apart. I would rather live in Kiev than spend all my days and nights underneath the summit columns of FedEx Field. It's a death trap. People are going to die. I'd still probably pick Lando Landover, Ralph John, Maryland, actual war zone personally. You haven't been to FedEx Field, have you? I mean, personally, I would rather pick Ralph John over getting bombed every day. Well, it's the same thing mentally. Okay. My cool throne is water and hydration. I'm in a battle

right now against water Twitter, which I didn't know was a thing. But maybe you guys can help me out because there's a mystery that I've been meaning to ask you guys about in the internet in general for the last several months. I've got a neighbor seems like a nice guy. It's a guy and a girl. They every two weeks, they get a delivery of six, five gallon water cooler sized jugs. So like ones that you might find in your office when you're talking about not betting the over in the Rams chiefs game. And they have been getting these delivered every other week. And I've been trying to figure out what the fuck is going on their house. I had a water salesperson come to my door last night when they were dropping off all the water for my

neighbor and the water salesperson was like, Hey, just curious. I'm selling water to your neighbor. How much water do you drink? And I was like, I don't know. She was like, where do you get your water from? I was like the tap. I just comes out of the faucet. It's free. And she was like trying to sell me this water. We ended up not buying any. But I've been trying to figure out what two people could use 30 gallons of water for every two weeks. And now that water Twitter is like 30 gallons every two weeks. Yeah. 30 gallons. And they're like, that's a normal amount of water to be drinking if you're drinking just over a gallon a day. Well, why don't we ask? There's only one guy on this show that works out regularly. So Hank.

I've been drinking a lot of water personally. I'm looking it up. I don't know. What's the difference between like, how do you convert leaders into into gallons? These people have to be just like COVID crazies who don't leave their apartment, who are still in lockdown. I see them a lot. But why not just use the tap water? No, I that that I can't answer because I drink tap water. But yeah, I don't big animals. Oh, maybe they could have they could have a do they have any animals? They have cats? I don't. I haven't seen maybe they have fish fish that could be getting tap water or they're getting bottled water for the fish. That could be they don't trust the tap water for their frogs.

It'll turn gay. They have a whole straightest frogs in America. Hardcore Alex Jones today. They could be filling a fish tank. They get over and over and over again with fresh, like tap. Maybe they have a lot of flowers. Jake drinks the most water. Yeah, like anyone. I drink a lot of water. I don't know how much. Yeah. Is that a lot? You've been working out? Oh, no. Oh, I feel like I feel like big water has has poisoned our brains and told us that we need to actually be drinking more than we need to. Like the whole thing. If you need to drink a gallon of water a day, your water is definitely something you should be drinking. Yeah. No, I know that. But I think I think most people can get by drinking like 32

ounces of water a day and getting the rest from their food. How many is this? 32 ounces? I drink 20 ounces. No, 32 ounces is definitely not enough. I probably drink four to six. What are you talking about? But you probably also drink like other drinks over the course of the day. Your coffee has water in it. It's mostly water. But I definitely drink more than 32 ounces. That's three cups of water. You could probably drink a half a gallon of water a day. Get the rest of it from your food and your other parts of your diet. So they just like water. I guess they just really fucking like water. People who drink a lot of water, who just water guys. That seems like overkill to me. But what do I know? I'm not a water. I have water with me on the go everywhere.

Yeah, literally everywhere. Drink a beer, water. Yeah, that's how you do it. That's true. Yeah. They're alcoholics. They're constantly mixing in waters. Yeah, never hung over. All right, my hot seats. Wait, what was gonna be my hot? I was gonna figure out how I was gonna fucking do this. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Oh, my hot seat is Coach Cal. Because there was a tweet yesterday that said that Coach Cal was meeting with the AD of Kentucky to figure out his like sevens package that went viral. And it turned out obviously it was fake. The person was just making it up. It was a troll account. But it was so believable that Cal got asked about it. And then Coach Cal's wife also released an Instagram video, which is very funny of her dog just like

going to the bathroom in the driveway being like he's not going anywhere. But it makes me think like if a joke like that can be believed that much, he's truly on the hot seat. This is how it begins. It is. Maybe it was put out there by, I know that their family is very active on Twitter and I would never fuck with the Calipari family on Twitter because they're good at it and they'll roast you. But if they had like a burner account, they could put out the terms as like a trial balloon to see how everyone reacted to it. And then maybe they take the fake account. Was it Ballsack Sports? No, it was Mark Fisk Hoops who has like 300 followers. He tweeted non-player movement news per an SEC source. I'm told there's a meeting scheduled later today between John Calpari and

Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart regarding the head coach's future and expectations moving forward for the program. Interesting. And it got like 150 retweets and a bunch of likes. So people, this is, this is how it begins. Because if you did this tweet about Bill Self, it wouldn't be believed. Well, maybe because of the violations, but you know what I mean? Like there's a believability. Maybe is it like Mark Few? They did lose to St. Peter's. So, huh, he might be on the hot seat. Yeah, I know that's it. It was the Athletic Premium Plus edition. You only get if you pay the $500 a month for the extra subscription. Yes. My cool throne is LeBron James because LeBron has been freed of another coach. So congratulations to him. If you're keeping track

at home, which I am, that would mean that LeBron, if we're going to count the interim head coach that he had, I think in 2005, LeBron has gotten six coaches fired in his career. Well, there have been six coaches fired while LeBron was there. Yes. So the only ones who've survived is Tyloo because he left Cleveland, LeBron did, and Spolstra, who's a very good coach. But yeah, I don't know why we don't talk about LeBron James as a coach killer more because Frank Vogel got a raw, raw deal. He basically, he won a title two years ago in the bubble. Everyone applauded him, said that, you know, their defense was incredible, which it was. And then LeBron got all his friends to be on the team and then got injured. And it was like, Frank Vogel, you fix this. And to be clear,

I think that that title does count towards Vogel's titles because it's tough to keep a team like that together in a bubble environment. It does not count for LeBron. It's a Mickey Mouse title when it's for LeBron. I'm just wondering when, when does that, does that conversation ever happen that LeBron might get guys fired? Do you hear who he wants next? Himself? Mark Jackson. Oh my God, please. I didn't hear that. I want Mark Jackson. I also saw Stephen A. Smith said that he could fix the Lakers, but they can't afford them, which would be unbelievable. That's actually true. Stephen A. Smith was the GM and Mark Jackson was the head coach. That if LeBron wants, I would, I would, I would maybe be a LeBron fan. If he got, if he could figure that out,

I would be a fan of the Lakers. I actually think that Stephen A. Smith is right that the Lakers can't afford them. No, I don't think that's in their budget. I had such a flex. So just be like, yeah, I would do it, but I could fix that. They can't afford me. I had a dumb idea before we started taping today. I floated this one. I hear curious to see what you guys think. Would it be possible for LeBron James to hire his son as head coach and thereby ensure that LeBron James Jr. gets to play on the Lakers? Like he becomes a player coach and gives himself minutes. Why don't we go one further? Why doesn't he hire his daughter for the first female head coach in the NBA history? That would be touching. We're breaking barriers. We're doing everything. Also the first toddler

head coach in the NBA history. Well, also, I mean, she, she drinks a lot of wine. She does. That's an issue. He does. He keeps her drunk. Yes. I was actually just reading back on that story the other day where he was like, yeah, my daughter doesn't really like the wine. She says it tastes like rocks. And it's like problem number one is your daughter drinks wine. Problem number two is your daughter knows what rocks taste like. Rocks are part of her palate. But yeah, LeBron, coach, killer, summer saying I'm not, he's on my cool throne. So any LeBron fans can't say that we're hating on him right now. I'm simply asking, he's freed, which is nice out of the wrath of Frank Vogel. Everyone knows Frank Vogel very similar to like a Bobby Knight type, choking people

and throwing chairs. But yeah, Frank Vogel, I actually probably, Frank Vogel is probably like relieved because that's got to suck to have had that job this year and have basically everyone conspiring against you. And it's like, dude, I won a title two years ago. We also got fired via tweet. Yeah, you didn't even make it to his meeting. He found out online. There was a great quote that LeBron had though, they asked him about how this year came together. And he said, the reason we were not very good together is we weren't on the damn floor together. Yeah, that's the number one damn thing. I actually think that's new segment alert, the number one damn thing, the number one damn thing. It is funny because I mean, they didn't have, I think I saw

stat like they were the only team that didn't have 100 minutes of the same starting five, which is kind of crazy. But you could also make the argument like Steph missed a bunch of time, Draymond missed a ton of time, Clay missed a ton of time, Warriors are in the playoffs. He also had a great spend zone when he was talking about whether or not the season is a failure. And he was just kind of holistic with it. He was like, it's not really a failure because we got to learn together and grow together and spend quality time as men together. So can that really be a failure? Yeah, that's right. Like could Hank's text message be a failure if we just brought the fan back together? I just scrolled my timeline and I saw his picture like 16 times. This is actually

reminiscent of, I don't want to say the name, Norm. That happened. So that was all over my timeline too. I mean, Hank, if you want to make this go away, you just post a dick pic. And everyone's just talking about Hank's hog. No one's talking about your face anymore. Hank's drinking some water. Count that to the ounces. All right, Jake. Jake, Jake, has this been the most uncomfortable part of my take? It's up there. I mean, we're having fun. It's all good. It's fun. Not a bad way. You can't play by Miss Billy. Yeah, I know. You miss Billy's calming presence next to you on the couch. Billy is a glue guy because we can all just make fun of him. So he is. He's a lightning rod. Yeah. Okay, Jake, go ahead. My hot seat is Angel Hernandez.

So the notable MLB umpire has had an interesting start to the season. He's missing balls and strikes, which is obvious. And he's also dancing behind the plate just in the middle of that. I saw that. What was that? I think he's just feeling himself. Yeah, I'm okay with that. Listen, Major League Baseball always needs at least one umpire for us to talk about and to be like, oh, it's this guy. Sports are more fun when you have like a Joey Crawford like in basketball that you can point at. Joe West. You're like, look at this game. It's the Joe West show. It's Angel Hernandez show. It's good to have one of those guys. In fact, I think that when we do inevitably make the switch to robot umps, we should keep Angel Hernandez around as like a controlled variable

where we can show how much better the robot umps are. And if Angel Hernandez is lucky enough to come to your city on a certain night, the tickets probably go up for that game because people will want to see the umpire. Yes. No, that's been my take for a very long time that robot umps will ruin everything because we won't get to have guys like Joe West that we can complain about. Right. Like if any minor league umpire did this, they'd have no shot at making it to the majors. Yes. Yes. It gets a little bit of an immunity. My cool throne is things being wild. We had a wild incident in the NL West last night. We had two twin brothers pitching against each other. Tyler and Taylor Rogers. What? Yeah. One of them got the loss. One of them got the save.

What? Wild. Wait. So they weren't really pitching against each other. I mean opposing teams. Were they in the game at the same time? Second time that will be history. Were they in the game at the same time? I mean that's impossible. Right. Not wild. Not wild? No. I thought they were opposing starting pitchers. I mean you look at the box score. It says L. T. Rogers save T. Rogers. They look identical because they are identical. But they're identical twins. Yeah. That's back to wild. That's back to wild. I didn't realize they're identical. Jake, you can't just bury the identical. I said it. Oh, you did? Maybe I didn't. I don't know. But it's the second time in MLB history that two twin brothers pitching the same game in the first time for opposing teams. Okay,

that's wild. Yeah. I'm going to say certified, stamp it wild. Especially if one was pitching during the same inning. But that never happened, right? They weren't pitching the same innings as each other? No, because there are three pitchers that came in after. Wait, did you just bang? You can't do that. That's my brain. What's yours? I don't have one. I thought you had one. Boom. Well, I say kaboom, but the heat announcer does that. It's not mine. Wait, the heat announcer says kaboom? Yeah. So what's yours? I don't have one. You need one. Eventually. Wait, early in my career. Wait, blap. Bang is yours. No, it's my brain. I'm my brain. Yeah, you said bang. And I was like, what? You can't do that. You need to have one. Eventually. Right.

You need one. Okay, right now. Natural. Natural. Natural. I like kaboom. That's the heats. I'm about to say kaboom. So MF loud. Right on your forehead. You need one. Okay. Splash. I feel like that's someone's. Yeah. We're about to get some. We'll see. We'll see. You should can you do this noise? Oh, Hank, that was cool. Can you do that again? Dude, you're back. You started doing that in the mic. That was awesome. Do that one more time. Four three. That's a great sound effect. Dude, that fucking rules. How do you do that? That's why I, that was, I spent a lot of time in school doing that.

Yeah. Trying to figure it out. Hank, one time we, we need to have like your former teachers on the show to interview them. That would be, that would be, and I would, I would be interested to hear that. It would be, um, it would be great. I mean, you know what they would say. I like, yeah, he spent the entire class in the back of the, in the back of the room with his finger down his throat. It would be, it would be put on the list. You literally just put on the list. The, it would be great. It would be, he didn't put, he's not putting his finger in his mouth. I'm flicking my cheek. Yeah. He's flipping his cheek. It would be great if Jake like got to, got like a big NBA gig and was like, well, there's one condition. Hank's coming with me

and whenever there's a big shot, he's going to have to do the sound effects. Or you can just pre-record it and they can. No, no, no, no. I can teach you, Jake. I'll teach you. No, it's got to be live. Yeah. Has to be live. Fair. Okay. Good. Let's get to our interview with Craig Robinson. We got FAQs on the other end before we do that, PFT. Yeah. Before we get to Craig Robinson, he's brought to you by Simply Safe. You guys know that I love the break in protection that my Simply Safe home security systems give me, but it's not always outside forces that you need Simply Safe's protection from.

Thousands of dollars in damages to his kitchen and home are worse. Luckily, Joshua has a comprehensive Simply Safe system equipped with everything to prevent break ins and smoke detectors that sniff out the fires. He startled awake to the sound of a 95 decibel alarm from his Simply Safe base station. Seconds later, he got a call from Simply Safe professional monitoring.

It is Craig Robinson. You may know him as Daryl from The Office, but we know him as his new show, Killing It, Out on the Cock, April 14th. It's on the cock, right? That's her. It is on Peacock streaming April 14th, Killing It. Welcome to The Office, man. Also, I should say one of the smoothest voices in the world. Well, thank you. How you doing, man?

Thanks, brother. I appreciate you. I'm great. How about yourself? We're doing great. We're doing great. So Killing It, out on April 14th. We're going to run this tomorrow, so it'll be out the next day. The show is a lot of snakes. I saw that part. What do we say to people? So essentially the show, the premise is a guy's going out, he's down on his luck, and he's participating in a snake capturing chase for money. Yeah, he's a bank security guard turned python hunter. So he loses everything. He loses his car, burns up, loses his apartment, and he loses his job. And so he gets in this Uber. He's going after the American dream. He really wants to start this salt palm metal farm to sell these salt

palm metal berries. And he looks up to this Uber driver, and she's crazy. I played by Claudia O'Doherty, amazing, actress, comedic. And then Hilarie Asus, and then he finds himself having to well, he agrees to join this snake hunting contest. That's the elevator pitch. You're welcome. I mean, I like it. Yeah. Did you have to interact with real snakes? Yes. We had real snakes where the American Humane Society was on present every time we had those. We had fake snakes, and we also had the CGI, which blew my mind when I saw the CGI, because I was like, well, I didn't work with that snake. How is it there? It was amazing. Do the snakes have names when you're working with them on set,

like the ones that you're handling? They do. I didn't catch them, you know, because they had the handler, so he would show us all of that. But yeah, we had a few days at all. You know, he's a real big snake guys, Dwight Howard. He's got like 25 snakes. Oh, somebody just told me he had 500. Oh, 500. I don't know. I might be wrong. It's a lot. It's a lot. He named some of them. One is a lot, so yeah. They have to earn their names. I have a longstanding theory that if you can't trust anyone who owns a snake as a pet, because that and that's biblical. Like the snake is, bro, snake showed up on what,

day seven and was in fucked everything up. Now, you've kind of fucked it up. Yeah, for the snakes. But I'm saying it's a bad rap though, sometimes snakes get a bad rap because of the Bible and Indiana Jones. And I when I met a snake for the first time, I ended up touching it. I was in Australia at this with my band. We was at this animal sanctuary and upholding snakes. And I was like, this is the snake means you no harm. You've been you've been afraid of snakes for all this time just because you saw a movie or heard of biblical stories. Yeah, they are scary. I think the snake from the Bible gets a bad rap. He was just trying to spread knowledge. You're like, imagine if we hadn't eaten that apple, there would be no TV show.

There would be no Craig Robinson. Yes, yes. Very true. But I do think that if you own a snake as a pet, it's like, why can't it just own a cat or a dog? Yeah, those are those are totally fine. I recently held a snake on a talk show and it was I held a couple of them. But there was this one, it's called a corn snake. And it's the number one snake pet. And it's adorable. And I'm thinking about getting a couple adorable because if you own a snake, like imagine getting tickled by a hot dog. Okay, that's not a good thing about that. That wasn't something that was going to sell me. What are you thinking about? Just think about laying back, closing your eyes.

So like a dog. I just I just heard myself. Yeah, like a dog's unrequited love for you. Loyal companion or tickled by a hot dog. That's a tough one. But this if you own a snake, it's like people own monkeys too. You just counting down the days until the monkey rips your face off or the snake gets lost in your house and you can't find it. That's just going to happen. True that. True that maybe. But true. Yes. I don't think the same way that like if you have a snake, it's going to attack you. I just think that if you own a snake, that's kind of pre crime where a police officer. Yeah. If my neighbor owns a snake, I'm just going to call 911 on them. Right. Something's going to happen eventually. I want you guys to be close

by. Pre crime. Yes. A snake guy with Tom Cruise on that ass. Yes. Yes. Right. Speaking of getting tickled by hot dogs, that's actually a good segue. I want to talk to you real quick about about Sausage Fest, the movie that's Sausage Party. Sausage Party. Excuse me. Sausage Party. That's a different thing. Different thing. It's pretty similar like Sausage Party, the the supermarket orgy scene in Sausage Party. Yes. You were Mr. Gritz. You did the voice of Mr. Gritz. Correct. That's maybe the most disturbing piece of cinema that I've ever seen. Bro, you know, I haven't heard the outtakes or the extras, but if there are extras and if Mr. Gritz is in those extras, we should find them because the things that we were saying

that didn't make the movie. Oh my God. Yeah. Forget about it. So they get you in the booth and they're just like, okay, you're participating in a giant orgy with other like snack foods. They creep you up a little bit. No. You go in there. Yeah. And you just act a damn fool. That's the most fun you could have at a job. How often is it annoying that people are like, hey, Daryl, all the time? No, no. You like it? I mean, I know it's coming from love and, you know, I do like it because you get like sometimes you have people you've never expected some foreign dude, you know, right? Look like he's all to himself. He's like, oh, you know, it's amazing. Yeah. So it's, uh, it's pretty dope. And, you know, if I need to disappear, I can do all that.

Yeah. I mean, it's kind of a weird, like I would imagine there's sometimes it's like, hey, I do. I've done a lot of other things, but then you also on the flip side, you, you're part of one of the most iconic TV shows of all time. I'm very grateful, man. It's, it's, uh, it's like having friends everywhere you go, you know, so it's all good. Yeah. I do have one bone to pick with the office, with your character on the office. Maybe you can help me out on this. Talk to me. Um, what was it exactly that you're in Jim's company actually did? Because I couldn't figure that out. Athlete. Yeah. Yeah. You worked in sports. That's the answer. Athlete. Yeah. We lead athletes. And then you hang out with athletes too sometimes. Hang out with them. You sign them. Uh huh. And you lead them.

Yeah. You lead them. I like that. That actually didn't sound that different than some agents. Yeah. I just got the script. It was like, okay, we're doing this. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's, yeah, it's, what, what, what's your favorite episode that you were part of? Oh man, let me see. Great question. Um, I think, you know, uh, when I told Mike, he had on lady clothes. Yes. Yes. When you had to do a scene with Steve Carell, that was just like Christmas. And, and the fact that I was in so many scenes with him and that, that, that one was, uh, you know, blew my mind. It blows my mind. I'm a part of it. Yeah. So to, you know, go in and go toe to toe with Carell's, uh, uh, that's a good look. And I saw that you,

you did comment not recently, maybe a couple of years ago, that you would be in if they did a reunion. Do you think that's ever talked about? It's people tell me about it. I never hear, hear anybody from the cast, but I'm, I'm just waiting to hear Greg Daniels speak on it. If he speaks on it, then it'll be real. Then we could, you know, cross that road. But yeah, I'll, I mean, the servers I'm in. Yeah. The, the, uh, bar would be so high, but I think everyone would like jump at, you know, I would be so pumped. But yeah, you have to get the right, you know, the writers correct. And, uh, I'm sure there's a billion stories that if, if they were to do it again, you have to do it like a special or like a movie. Yeah. Yeah. We, uh, we've had

Brian Baumgartner on the show a couple of times. He kind of gave us like a little bit of insight as to what the secret life of Kevin might have been behind the scenes, because you probably seen some of the theories out there. There's just some crazy shit. Super fans of the show. I have not. They dive. Well, some people think that Kevin was like a secret genius. Yeah. That's like, you know, he's an expert poker player, but he's also dumb as shit when it comes to doing accounting. Did you have it? Like, what was the internal motivation that you had behind Daryl? Did you come up with like your own backstory? Or were you just like, I'm Daryl. The beauty of Daryl was actually like, what Daryl says is what he means all the time. Right. No nonsense. But did you have

anything like in your head that was your own backstory at all? Or were you just like, I'm going to show up and do it? I probably did at the time. I don't know anymore. Well, because there's always a backstory, but I don't remember. I just, I don't remember. I feel like I'm letting you down. No, it's okay. I mean, sometimes those, those super fan theories are just so far out there. Is it just secret life of Kevin or do they do other people? I'm going to look it up right now. I'm just going to, I'm going to Google Reddit theory Daryl office and see what happens. There'll be something for sure. What, you've worked a lot with Seth Rogen. Is he as high as he seems? No. Really? No, I mean, he likes to get high. I don't think he's as high as, I don't see him high

a lot. Yeah. What was your favorite project you worked with? I loved pineapple express. That was one of my favorite movies. I loved it too. Food's still warm. You know, this is the end was pretty, pretty, pretty dope to be a part of. We were in New Orleans for like two and a half, three months. Just did that kill you? Because we actually, we just came back from New Orleans. We're there for the final four. And I said that being in New Orleans for four days felt like 40. Bro, I was there just for shooting, killing it. I was there from mid-October to mid-February. And I didn't have any alcohol. Really? Yeah. How? I don't know. I just, I was like, I'm not drinking. I would be dead if I, because between the food and the schedule, it would have been a problem. It's,

it's a city unlike any other because it's like, they're not only the culture, but the food. And then we were joking. Like I got back and I was like taking my son to school and I was like, man, I wish I was just drinking a beer standing in the middle of the street with like a, you know, like fresh off a bullet gumbo. You know, it's super dangerous down there now. Yeah. Like super dangerous. Like my car got stolen, my rental car, you know, just like. What happens when a rental car gets stolen? I don't, you know what? I don't know. They didn't tell me if they found it or not. You just called and you're like, Hey, it's gone. Can I get another? Pretty much. But no, you have to go get a police report. Yeah. Turn that in and then about two weeks later,

I got another car. You just gave me a great business idea. What? Just continually rent cars and be like, Hey, it got stolen again. Let me get it. Let me get another one. Yeah. Then you drive them all to Mexico and sell them. Give me another, give me another over and over. I think that's pretty flawless. You're welcome. So the first time I remember watching you was knocked up when you played the doorman, right? That was that was a really good use of a cameo because it was short. It was sweet. But I remember watching and being like, that guy's funny. That guy's naturally funny. Was that all scripted out? Was there any improv to it? It was a lot of improv. Essentially, though, the top half of the monologue was

appetite written and bottom half was we had improvising stuff. And and then it gave me a huge shot of confidence because I was throwing stuff out there. And then, you know, they say, they'll tell you to get something again for safety. And then Jeff was throwing my lines back to me. He's like, Oh, pregnant bitches run around the club. So, uh, yeah, that was definitely some improv, heavy improv going on. Yeah, it was great. It showed like a little bit like you were being very funny, but also there was like a little bit of motion coming from the doorman. Nobody ever thinks about how the doorman thing. Right. Exactly. Yeah. Nobody does. I got a dumb question. So you've done a bunch of commercials. Pizza Hut was one of them. Do you just get to eat free pizza

when you're there? I think we got some coupons coming. But uh, no, no, I want to do a video where I'm like, Hey, I'm gonna see, see how this Pizza Hut works out. And then I walk up and they're like, yeah, eight 99. Yeah, right. It doesn't matter that you're in the commercial. Good for you. So they don't like, I just assume they take good camera. Okay. Cause I was gonna say, I assume I show up to a pizza commercial and it's just Pizza Hut all day. And that's, I guess you have to work too. That does happen. Yeah. Cause you're doing, you know, takes. So you gotta eat the pizza. But uh, you know, no pizza, I'm fine with it. And I think they are giving us some coupons or something, but if they can go either way, it's fantastic. Yeah. I'm glad they're taking care of you. I don't

want that. I don't want that relationship to sell at all. However, I was dismayed as maybe too light of a word. When I ordered the triple treat box, which you were promoting, you know what I'm going to say? I heard there was no levels. It doesn't come in the drawers. Oh my God. What the fuck? That's why you're ordering. Somebody tweeted me like, what the fuck? I have no idea. I have no idea what goes on with that. Cause like watching you in the commercials, you've got the thing and it's got the drawers and it's the triple treat. And I'm like, I want that. Craig looks so happy eating out of the drawers. And then it's drawerless by the time it shows up. I was very disappointed. I don't know what to tell you

and I did bring into their attention. So I hope it works out. That would actually make me very happy if you fixed that problem. I told them I had an idea for doing a commercial where like, oh shit, like you see a brick go through a dominoes and I'm like, no one outpieces the hut and then drive off. I like that. Yeah. You kidnapped Papa John? Yeah. Oh, the kidnapping. Oh, that's a whole nother level. Yeah. Papa John would probably be down. Just beat the shit out of Papa John. Yeah. There'll be a lot of people like, yep, that makes sense. Exactly. So you mentioned your band. Are you still like touring with the band? Yeah, we got a show May 4th at the Troubadour in LA, part of this Netflix comedy festival thing,

but absolutely, man. We get out there when we can. It's actually been a couple of while between gigs. I've been busy there busy, but my band is beyond fantastic there. Everyone has their own band in the band. We're like a super group that comes together like Voltron or something. So what do you like if you had to pick, not saying you have to pick, but like acting or music, which one is like your true passion? I would go with the band. Yeah. I had to go all the way. I feel like music, most musicians are people who have musical ability, who do other things. Like PFT is a great guitar player. And I bet you if it was like, Hey, you could trade all this to be like in an all like, you know, top 10 band.

Forget about it. I'd probably trade it all. I'd trade it all just if I could learn. And I understand. I'd be like, go for it, dude. That's, that would be sick. Yeah. The song, the Dunder Mifflin, the people, the people person's paper people. Yeah. That is a jam. That's like, have you thought about taking me? Yeah. Can you sing it? Just go. Yeah. I think that have you ever like considered just changing the words to it, not being about a fictional paper company and just making it into a hit? I'm not. I think it's good enough. Wow. It's so smooth. Yeah. I want to just keep it like it is. Yeah, I guess. This is me trying to like, like organize a whole like people want the office to reunite because they want to go back

in time to feel the way that they felt about it the same time they first watched it. That's what I'm doing with that song right now. I want to go back and listen to it again for the first time. Do you have your acts here? I do have a guitar down here. Yeah. Oh, is it, is it acoustic? Acoustic. Bust it out, man. Let's do a little song. There you go. So, why not? What do you want to sing? Purple Rain. Oh, he went great to like expert mode there. What do you want to do? Oh, one of the best songs from the best artist of all time. Real quick. Why not? Why not? Gotta put it on him there. Who would you say are your favorite artists of all time? Wow, man. That's deep. Good, deep. Michael Jackson, man. Yeah. Michael Jackson.

Prince, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Sam Kinnison. That's a good, that's a pretty good fucking list. What are you, are you searching how to play it? No, what key do you want to play then? Let's go B flat. B flat. Okay. Have you ever played Purple Rain? I have, a long time ago. Did you need the lyrics? Uh-uh. I only want to see you laughing in the Purple Rain. Purple Rain, Purple Rain. Purple Rain, Purple Rain. Purple Rain, Purple Rain.

Purple Rain, Purple Rain. I only want to see you, baby, in the Purple Rain. That's beautiful. Yes. That's beautiful. I mean, that was off the top. That's fucking sick. That was uh, thanks, bro. Thanks. Nice, uh, nice skills there. I heard a little funk. I mean, you picked it in B flat, which is tough to do and make it sound nice and open. All right, right. You know, couldn't play the open chords on there. It was a little high for me too. I was like, I mean, that was fucking awesome. You do have a smooth voice. You have a gift. Yeah. Appreciate it. Get it from my mama. Um, so I don't know where to go from that because we never had someone just,

you know, drop a perfect rendition of Purple Rain on our face. Um, what do you like doing better? What do you like doing better? Uh, live action shit or animated stuff? Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Well, they're both like, you know, was like choosing between your kids, but the animated man, you get to do a lot of, you know, you get to go big and go crazy. I got this, this movie coming out April 22nd called, uh, The Bad Guys. And it's like Tarantino for kids, man. That's pretty dope. Wow. Tarantino for kids. Yeah. And I got a stupid character named Mr. Shark. He's a master of disguise. So it was like, it's, uh, it was stupid. It was so much fun to make. Yeah. But then the live action, you know, that's his whole, that's a whole nother beast. It's just

two different beasts. Um, so serious question for back to the office real quick, like in terms of your career and what it did for like the trajectory of your career. Cause you know, reading a little about you, it wasn't, you weren't like someone who was day one, you know, like 16 years old doing standup comedy. So what, what did it do for like, was that the moment where you're like, okay, this is actually now a career. Now this, I was part of a hit. I was a very likable character on a huge TV show. Like did that catapult you? Yes. Absolutely. The offices, uh, I would consider that my, my big break. Um, I was on a show before that called Lucky that you probably haven't heard of, but it was John Corbett and Billy Gardell

myself and, uh, John Corbett was a, was a gambler. And actually, do you remember that? Yeah. It was on FX and we had, it was, dude, we had, I'm talking about, we were talking about critics, darling. I had a, like 30 clips of a newspaper things or whatever. It was like, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, you know, everybody loved it. And then I forget how it happened. Some kind of politics happened and we got canceled after one season. But, uh, that was a huge, beautiful lesson because I didn't save a dime from it. I was just ready for the second season. And then I got, uh, Billy Gardell called me, Hey man, no, no, I think Mark called me first, my manager right here. He said, Hey man, they canceled the show. And then, uh, the, the two got a Robin Mark Cullen who

the brothers who are, who wrote the show. Hey man, they let us go. And by the time Billy Gardell called, I was like, I got it. But I was holding on to my chair. I could not believe it. But I was, I was at a party for, okay. So it was the shield and then lucky came on. And then, uh, there was a show, uh, Nip Tuck. So we went to the premiere of Nip Tuck, president of FX. Look to me in the eyes and go, you got nothing to worry about. So I'm, I'm like, it's, oh, now that's when I felt like I made it. That's what I felt. So then once that happened, ever since then, I haven't had that feeling. I was always feel like the bottom could come out at any time. That's, I mean, that's actually a blessing in disguise. Super blessing. Cause now, now I don't spend money. Yeah. You

know what I'm saying? Yeah. Is there, is there a show that you've worked on where you thought it was going really, really well, and then you watched the final version and you're like, this didn't turn out the way that it felt in the moment. No, but that would, that would be my act, my comedy act. Or like a certain joke sometimes. No, the shows, it's, it's hard, man. Cause, cause, uh, you get on a show and it's so, it's so much, you know, good morale. Everybody's like, this is, oh, this is good. It's always positive. You know, you get out there and sometimes it hits, sometimes it doesn't. So it's hard to, uh, it's hard to tell. I just go in and do the best work I can and keep it moving. Do you, do you always watch the stuff that you do or is it just, it's

done? I have not always, I try to, you know, but there are some things that I have not seen. I have not seen the full movie walk heart yet. Oh really? That's a great one. That is a great one. Good. Good. There you go. You don't have to see it. We'll be checking it out. There you go. All right. So I have one last question. It's a rowback question. Go to rowback.com. We actually have rowback gear if you guys want any. Rowback? Yeah. R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com. Use code take for 20% off your first purchase on, uh, rowback.com. All right. So the new show, killing it out on Thursday on Peacock. Um, what would you say, like, so this is first season. Are we getting a second season? Your mouth to God's ears. You know, we got to see, I guess how it, you know,

debuts and people stick with it. We need people to watch it. We need people to watch it, watch it all the way through. Whether you love it or hate it, if you love it, wonderful. If you hate it, watch it anyway. Just let it play. Yeah, just let you just cue it up and let it play. What about, leaving goes away. You got a pet snake at home, pet dogs at home, just turn it on and leave. What about if people have snakephobia? Should they watch it? Maybe those are the people that turn it on and walk away? I know. I get it. Like, some people, some people can't watch because it's not so much, so many snakes all the way through and all of that, but that is the, you know, the center of it, but it's not, it's hard to explain. Have people actually reached out to you?

Have you been like, dude, I support you, but like, I can't watch this? Somebody tweeted that they could, I love Craig Robinson, but I can't look at the snakes. So that's a perfect case of just turn it on and walk away. Turn it on and walk away. Just keep it running. And tweet that you watched it. And tweet that you watched it. It's, it's, it's, you know, people are going to do what they want to do. They want you to do the elevated pitch. They want you to come out and say, why should you see this? I don't know. I just, we have fun making it. It was very challenging. I loved every minute and, and it's, it's got some great moments and I, you know, I hope you all

enjoy it. Yeah. I need a new TV show. So I'm in. Awesome. It was a pleasure jamming with you. Likewise, brother. Thank you. Thank you all very much. Thank you so much. We appreciate you stopping by.

All right, let's finish up FAQs, Hank. Yep. Give it to me one more time. I love it so much. You want to know the other one I would do? I don't know if you're going to be able

to hear this, but this would get people going. The many talents. Oh, my back hurts. Oh, yeah. I have seen you do that before. And you're cracking your fingers, right? Crack your neck. Oh, man. Oh, fun stuff. I feel like the bubble one would be appropriate for a free throw. All right, Jake, maybe learn how to do it first and then we can talk. No, I think like that's a three. Okay. Yeah. Splash. Yeah. It's a wet sound effect. I'm implying that the jumper is wet. You got that? That's basketball. Nice. Hank's lashing it. Hank knows ball. Hank knows ball. What's up, Coach K. Killer, Mr. Cometer, Honk, Billy Pigskin and Jake. How often are you guys recognized out in public? Is it just at sporting events or do you get recognized in normal places

as well? Sporting events are normal. Like I'm thinking through my head of when I go out in public the most. It's like sporting events or sports related as well. Number one, it's two things. One is when, when we're going somewhere that everyone knows we're at, it's obviously way different. Like when we're in the New Orleans for the final four, it's like nonstop, but that's also sports and people know we're there in terms of like regular just walking around. I don't know. I probably like, I walk like six blocks from the train to the office maybe once, maybe once. Like that's average is like one time a day when I'm walking that walk. My favorites are when I ran into a guy yesterday actually that I was out on the trail and the guy

holds up his phone as I'm walking past him and he's like, I'm listening to you right now. I was like that when he's actually got part of my take playing while they see me. That's always good. One time actually I was at a restaurant and this girl came up and she was like, hey, are you post Malone? That really, that really set me back. It is nice to get recognized because our fans are the best. So the only time it ever, I mean we've said this before, the only time it ever sucks is when someone tries to take a picture without saying hello, then you feel a little bit like a zoo animal. But that very rarely happens. Usually it's just a what's up, what's up, and then it's, you know, fun or sometimes people will ask me like a construction site by my house. The dudes

will ask me for a pick and I think I'm like 0 for 7 on picks I've given them. So I stopped walking that way. I mean, Mames is just continuing to troll me. He picked these. FAQ, will Hank return to full participation in upcoming Mount Rushmore season or is he still butthurt about the pizza topics? Hashtag double alls. Yeah, I'll be back. You guys ruined the sanctity of the, you know, competition forever. It was awesome. So I feel bad for the listeners, but yeah, it's after it's in July. Yeah, I have a motion for this year is Mount Rushmore's. I think that we should do them. Yeah, what? No, no, I'm, what? Okay, is there, every year you have a motion that's we shouldn't vote. No, I mean, but go ahead. I know we can vote. I'm just saying we do it the Chicago style

where you take the names off. Okay. And then it's a big reveal. I mean, it's, that works. I don't really worry about the voting. Well, some, yeah, I mean, once you guys cheated, it's like the whole system is broken. You guys broke. Don't even worry about the voting. Who cares about the vote. I know I literally don't care about the voting, but every year you come up with a rule that like tries to change the voting. Hank cares very much. I know you I'm done. You guys broke my will to care. That's, that's actually put that on our resume. Are you ever that's fucking huge 19th. So that'd be the 19th. That's huge. Like killed coach K broke Hank's will to care. Are you ever gonna made him a suit, which congrats on the promotion,

President Barclay sports. Thanks. You're fired. What's Dave like as an employee? Are you ever going to have Tim Woods back on for more D&D? Yes, absolutely. I see that. It's we're, we're just now getting to like a little bit of a slower time. The footballs from September to the end of March Madness is chaos. Now we will get to do, we have a couple, like we have some weird interview we're doing next week that should be great. So yeah, we're going to start doing some different interesting things for sure. I always loved him. It's not just the, the actual act of playing Dungeons and Dragons, just his personality in a room is kind of like it's rejuvenating. Yes. Makes me feel like there are good people in this world. Effervescent. Effervescent, positive.

Yes. Can you just read the Ray Allen tweet again? Yes, no problem. It's, well, I feel most of it. It's I'm getting there. Picture me. Hold on. Let me find one. Yeah, you don't want to, you don't want to ruin it. I don't want to ruin like that would be trying to quote Shakespeare. All right, I'm going to, I'm going to introduce you. And now Big Cat reading the Ray Allen tweet where he talks about the clitoris. I'm getting there. Wait, I'm actually getting there. All right. I'm getting there. When you masturbate, think about my tongue or your clit and switching back and forth from my dick to my tongue. I just, I want to have him on just to ask him. Like it would be so awkward because he, we think about this

tweet far more than he's ever thought about. No, I actually don't. I think if you fire up the tweet like that, you think about it all the time. Every now and then. It might be cathartic for him because he, he's probably never spoken about it. He could help me with what I'm dealing with. Let's see if he's, is he on Twitter still? He might not even be on Twitter. That would be legendary if he just deactivated. I'm looking Ray Allen right now for people and there's no verified Ray Allen's. So he might have just been like, I'm out. I can't. No, it's like, I think it's like Sugar Ray 20 or something. Sugar Ray 20. I would love to have Ray Allen on, and it would basically be all questions about that. I can't find him.

Hi, Fit Cat. Fit Hank. Oh no, that's funny. Hi, Fat Cat. Dude, he deleted his Twitter account. Fit Hank in pervft. Get it? When the heck are you guys going to do another 24 hour stream? Never. Oh, we should do one. No, never. Well, so this year we're combining training camp and grit week. So it's going to be in August. Maybe we do one in May. Maybe we do a 24 hour stream in May. Why? This is. Corporate Hank's got to know that. I had fun. I think we should do it. I can do it. I'm just not drinking a beer an hour. Yeah, no, you don't have to do that. I'm not drinking it. I'm not eating a hot dog an hour. That set me back. Billy will be running a marathon again. He'll be running two marathons. One of the most impressive things. It really was. But yeah, we'll

we're not going to guarantee anything. We're not going to commit to anything, but we'll talk about it because that was fun. It was just guys hanging out. Remember when you guessed that card? Yeah. Buster Posey. That was the highlight of my life. I mean, some of these questions, I don't know. This is memes. What's the most difficult lesson you've learned while building barstool slash PMT? Most memes. Nice try. That's that was a rod. Sometimes we learned that if we tried too hard, you just you burn out. We got to think of the macro versus the micro sometimes when you're developing a show like this. No, um, I don't know any just consistency, consistency, consistently fucking stupid. I would say the hardest lesson.

Oh, I guess I guess one of the hardest lessons you just got to like eventually get to a point where you realize that there's just going to be people who don't like you. That's hard to deal with when you start, especially like early barstool when it was very small and it was like it felt like, you know, everyone was in on like the joke and then it's like you get bigger and bigger. It's like, all right, some people are not going to like you from the outside. Some people aren't going to like you from the inside. Some people listen to this podcast and probably hate us and they just hate listening. And then they, you know, comment all day about how much we suck, but it's just like getting over that and being like, your opinion doesn't matter,

because it just doesn't anymore. It is weird to get to that point because there's, it's human nature to read what people say about you. And then when there's enough people that say negative things and if you're a show that has a lot of listeners, it's just natural that there will be a significant amount of people that might not like what you say or disagree with you or don't like you personally or whatever. And it's very, it goes against everything in your body to be able to not listen to what they have to say. It took me probably like about two years to get to the point where now I literally don't care. If somebody has constructive criticism, that's completely different and that's valid, but you have to like be able to differentiate between the two.

And sometimes I wonder, are the people that comment on Twitter different from the people that comment on Instagram and the people that comment on Reddit? Like Twitter is the worst. Twitter is useless. I think Twitter is the best. Yeah. I think Twitter is not bad. I think Reddit is like, you can't find a podcast show, anything that doesn't devolve into, we just don't like this anymore, like critiquing it. That's the platform. That's the nature. And I don't even hold it against anyone. It's like, if you comment on something and consume it for long enough, you're just going to poke holes in it. It is what it is. I think most the people commenting probably still like it. No one wants to read everyone be like, these guys are the best over and

over. That's just the nature of the internet. No one's going to be like, oh, let's read an entire thread about how much these guys rock and how funny they are. It's just not going to happen. Would you listen to this show if we were talking about the NBA, for example, and we thought every player was good? Because guess what? Every player is pretty good in the NBA, for the most part. Except LeBron, coach killer. Yeah, and NBA. What was your corporate hank? You've gone from literally an intern to the C-suite at this? Not true. He's actually Emperor of Barstels, where I keep promoting him throughout this show. Thankfully, I got publicly roasted in my entire life, broken down when I was 20, 21 years old, and I had to get over. I got shit on over and

over and over again, and I had the, if you care, you're not going to be able to work here. I, thankfully, have been over that for a long time, and I feel like even nights like last night, like I've had so many of them, it's embarrassing, but I don't lose sleep over it. It goes back to the first question that we did with FAQs about getting recognized in public. People are mean online. They just are, because they can be faceless, and they don't have to like stand behind anything. They can just be mean. I've never had a single bad interaction in person. No one has ever come up to me and been like, you fucking suck. You know what I mean? It just doesn't happen. So that's how you kind of just gauge your life off. It's a sliding scale, and it's

like, that's one bad thing, but there's a million good things. Who cares? There was one guy at LSU. I was never going to be all good. I was walking around before the LSU Alabama game, and he just goes, hey, PFT. I looked over and he goes, you suck. But I was too drunk to care. And I was like, okay, respect. I like, if I was getting booed going to restaurants, I think I'd probably be like, oh, something, something bad's happening. But that hasn't happened yet. You just show up and everyone just starts heckling you. That was a good question memes. That was a good question memes. Is that it? Yeah. Okay. Are you good? Are you sure that's it? Yeah. I'm fine.

Can we get one more wet sound? All right, numbers, numbers. Six, 25. By the way, a hippo can eat 150 pounds of grass in a single night. Oh, about 150 pounds. Okay, thank you for the clarification. That's a lot. 22. Uh, 90, 90, 90. Like it. Strong number. Walter B 69. I'd love every second. 30. Love you guys. Uh, talking away. No, I don't know what I'm to say. I'm say anyway.

Two days and not a day to party. Shying away. No, I'll be coming for your love of cake. Shying away. No, I'll be coming for your love of cake. Take on me, take me on I'll be gone in a day or two Needless to say, I'm all set in

But I'll be stowing it away Fairly learned this life is okay Stay up to me It's no better to be safe than sorry Stay up to me It's no better to be safe than sorry Take on me, take me on I'll be gone in a day or two

All the things that you say Yeah, these are the right things Just to clean my worries away You all think I'll stop to remember Will you shine away? We'll all be coming for you anyway Will you shine away? We'll all be coming for you anyway

Take on me, take me on I'll be gone in a day I'll be gone in a day
