Hey, pardon my take listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen, ad-free, on Amazon Music. On today's Pardon My Take, we have a lot of sports, holy shit. What a weekend of sports. We have NBA Playoffs kicking off, Phil Mickelson winning the PGA Championship, Stanley Cup Playoffs. We have our good friend, Paul Bissonette on the show, who actually, if you're watching

on YouTube right now, which please subscribe and upvote every single video on YouTube, that helps us a lot, he's actually sleeping on the couch while we tape this. So he's going to be with us for the entire episode, but he'll only speak in like the middle third. I think what we'll do is, at the end of the show, because at the end of the show we're going to do a one day reading, yeah we'll wake him up, we'll maybe talk a little bit about me being a twice dad now at the end of the show, and we'll also wake up biz. So make sure you tune in for after biz for that.

But yeah, we've got a ton of sports to get to, we're going to get to it all before we do that. A word from our friends at BetterHelp.

You can see a therapist online or phone call 10% off when you put in that code PMT. Today is Monday, May 24th, and I would like to say as a Brooks Kepka fan, I am happy for Phil Mickelson. So am I.

I'm happy for Phil. I'm happy for all the Phil stands out there, of which there are many. Thumbs up. They have been, hey, big cat. Hey, thumbs up. Thumbs up. Thumbs up to Lefty. The Phil Mickelson fan club has been dormant for a long time.

They haven't had a lot of reasons. They've been like the cicadas. And now they're back. It's been what, eight years, 10 years since. A long time. So. They've been a major and the end of that round, it was cool seeing a crowd that size back out on a golf course.

I was trying to think about it because everyone knows our stance on this show. We have our three guys. We root for them very, very hard and we try to slander or libel everyone else. But there is a few people that I think are in the category of holy shit. This is actually awesome. It sucked that Brooks was up against them in the final pairing. But Phil is in that category. Phil and Tiger kind of are those guys where maybe if Freddie boom, boom couples ever, ever

made a run for it, I'd also root for him. But they're in that category of good for golf. It's good for golf, but it's also just fucking cool. It's a cool story. Phil Mickelson is 50 years old. Phil Mickelson won his first tournament, golf tournament, professional golf tournament 30 years ago. He's won a major in three different decades.

He's won a tournament in four different decades. He was, you just referenced it, PFT, that it's been a very long time. It's been so long. Phil hasn't been in the top 20 and 17 tournaments. It's been so long that he had to get a special exemption for the US Open this year because he was 115th in the world. That's how long it's been since Phil has been playing really good golf. And then he shows up and I don't know about you guys, but I was sitting there watching

the entire tournament being like, well, Phil's going to, there's the triple bogeys coming. Like he's going in the drink, something's going to happen. But no, he was just fucking cool, calm, cool, smaller titted Phil Mickelson. I was about to say the only thing I don't like about the new Phil is that he's in too good a shape. His calves are too nice. He doesn't have the man boobs anymore. When Phil was out there dominating with like a nice, a respectable B cup hanging from his

chest. That was cool to watch. But yeah, it's very cool to see Phil back out there. And with the, with the sunglasses that he was rocking this weekend, I don't know where you even get sunglasses that look like that. It looks like something's cool. You know, Pugs sunglasses, the ones that are in all those truck stops. It looks like something that you would get out of there, but Phil pulled it off.

He pulled it off. They're probably very expensive. And he's got a lot. He's got a ton of fans around him and his fans are very drunk individuals, which I like. Again, things that are good for golf. Having a rowdy gallery is something that like I kind of miss people yelling and like being able to hear audibly the slurred words of golf fans in a final round of a major tournament. That's also good for hashtag golf.

It was at the end when the, when the fans, you know, basically swarmed him going up the fairway on the 18th. It was like, Oh my God, it was actually happening. It was coinciding with the tip off of the next game at the Mecca MSG for those who don't know about it. And they were had 15,000 fans there and it really felt like, Oh fuck. Like we were so used to this world where we convinced ourselves, Hey, sports are playing so it's okay.

The fans aren't there. No, no, no. Fans not being there sucked because it was fucking awesome when Phil and, and you know what? Phil is a great like lesson. I think he's one of those guys that everyone roots for because he's always been like good to the fans and he's always been kind of that people's golfer type feel to him. Lefty, Phil, like he's not, I don't think he even has any association with New Jersey,

but every time he golfs in like New Jersey, everyone just fucking drunk and they feel like gambling. Yeah. Yeah. The gambling thing for sure. And like with Phil, it's also, he captured almost an entire generation. He's got like gin Xers film standing next to Phil Mickelson, like what you saw on the 18th hole.

That's burning man for gin Xers. Yes. That's as close as they'll get to like taking drugs and going to a music festival and discovering their inner selves for three days is just like drinking 17 cores lights and then being in the same like square mile as Phil Mickelson is Phil is lefty. That's what it that's what it means to those guys and also like Mickelson. He's a guy that I always get the feeling like he could show up is moving so he's rolling around.

I always get the feeling like he could show up and be good for at least like one round or two rounds. But like an entire four putting it together is cool to see like Phil's a guy that if if he's got a nephew, I assume that his twin brother who's his cat, he has a son or a daughter. He's got a nephew or or a niece and like he catches them smoking cigarettes. Phil be like let your uncle have one show you how it's done. Smoke it all down to the filter in one drag and be like later loser and walk away like peel off.

He's always in a Mustang that wasn't there before. Yes. Yes. He's always got a trick in his bag ready to go. But it was it was cool to see him do it for four days in a row. 50 years old. Yeah. They actually so they were talking about it that Phil basically admitted that he didn't

have the mental toughness slash stamina to compete at a high level for four days straight. So recently he had been playing. He had been forcing himself to play 36 holes a day just to like push himself and he actually had a tweet. Did you guys see like like maybe 10 days ago he had a tweet that was essentially like it's okay to fail, which is kind of cool to see because usually that's such a cliché bullshit that people put online like Gary V's like hey failure is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Shoot your family in the face and see how that feels. But this was he said it. He meant it. And then he went and won the PGA championship. The oldest guy to ever win a major 50 years old. And he was hitting bombs too. He was hitting bombs. He's lefty.

I think 360 yards on the back nine today on Sunday. He's just bombs. Just bombs. So now as it pertains to Brooks I do want to say that as members of team Brooks his knee is ahead of schedule. Our knee is ahead of schedule right now and the open is the one that we've had circled for a long time because that the open is the one that Brooks hasn't gotten yet. Well and it also I mean not excuse guys but his knee is hurting him and he wasn't able

to get all the way low to read putts and the putter is what kind of killed him today in this weekend. So if so facto he probably would have won this tournament by 15 strokes if his knee was okay. And he missed his first three footer of the day that he couldn't get low enough to line up the stripe. Exactly. To aim at the hole.

So he was essentially flying instrument free. You just basically put Brooks he's a jet fighter right. He's used to flying an SR 71 Blackbird spy plane directly through the core of the earth and out the other side and doing barrel rolls the whole time. You put him in like a 1917 biplane with you know two tanks of gas and he still managed to get across the Atlanta. Yeah he was close. Shout out to Brooks.

Great job Brooks. We're ahead of schedule and he's still to be fair Brooks Keppke is still leading on aggregate under par in terms of major tournaments all time. Yes. So still number one. They had that stat where he's like 50 strokes better than the next guy in the last five years where you can say Hank. A lot of AWOs out there this weekend.

Yeah shout out to them Brooks team the team the team the team you're all part of the team and we would never ask you to do what may have happened on the front nine today to fill and have one of you guys pick up when a Brooks's drives put it back down in a better life. We would never ask you to know but it no but do that but we would never ask you do it but I'm asking you know you know you're not you're telling no no we have a we have a now we have now we have it out. PFT is saying do not I'm saying do I speak for the whole podcast when I say do not do it.

Do I speak for the whole podcast when I say please will you do it. Balls in your court quote of the tournament goes to John Rom for me. So I don't know if you guys saw this but he had a tough couple days and he was asked about his round and this was his quote so the person asked like hey maybe not ending it the way you wanted but in your estimation the golf course is this open things up for the leaders to score a little bit this afternoon talking about three over for the championship. He said I don't know and I don't care to be honest. I hit the ball tee to green as well as I could have for most part and barely made any putts

and yeah I'm not really happy to be honest being in the 40th place and finishing bogey bogey like that. I really want to be here right now. I mean clearly the scores are out there it's very doable right now 68 67 is out there as possible. I'd ever chant. I just couldn't make a putt. That was great though saying I don't want to be here and don't want to be busy moving

his foot right now. I just moved his leg up. See if you'll say something in the mic. Biz do you have anything in the mic. You want to say where your thoughts on this is coming up in a minute. He actually was coherent for our interview semi coherent but now he is passed out. If you're watching on YouTube again subscribe on YouTube please and thumb up every single for Phil video.

Thumbs up for left. Yes. Yes. I want to put one in in someone's ear hole real quick. Kyle Porter on CBS. Yeah. I've seen this guy a couple of times. I don't know what his fucking deal is.

Okay. This is what he said. It's going to be wild when two players from different generations stepped to the tee in the final pairing today and the one who has a knee problem horrific fashion sense in a midlife crisis growing on his face is actually not the 50 year old. Hey buddy shut the frick up and I say that because he's elder at the mosaic church of Richardson. He put that in his bio.

No respectfully shut shut the frick up shut the heck shut your frickin shut your heckin frickin mouth. It's honestly like that's kind of a cheap shot. It sounds to me like he's a little bit rooting for injuries. Yes. Also I saw that there were a lot of people coming at the fashion sense of both Brooks and Tony Finau who were wearing Nike golf. Guess what ever heard of their leaked.

Okay. The next fashion wave. You don't even know it. You're actually. Should we call them. I mean they're Chuggy what the Nike hats know the people who think those Nike hats are lame are to care. I think they can't understand fashion outside the box.

So they just want a fucking nice little you know white hat. I think that they can both be Chuggy but you know what sometimes Chuggy is good. Yeah. Fashion forward. Yeah. It's called fashion bro. That's what Brooks said about the off whites. Right.

Yeah. Exactly. I don't I don't like golf journalists getting to decide what's cool as far as fashion goes. We have to take a stand somewhere as a society. Yeah. And when you have. When you have golf journalists deciding what good fashion sense is for clothes and facial hair I think at that point we need to take away their card.

Mm hmm. Agreed. Kyle Porter. How'd her boy. Fucking loser. How'd her boy. Will's Alatoris. All right.

So we have updates from both of our other guys. Will's Alatoris did OK. Also saw him post an Instagram after the after the tournament. He's flying private planes now so that's he's doing great like that's a win. Yeah. Greated. Max so little editor's note on Thursday's podcast we recorded it around four or five o'clock I think I said in the show that Max was minus three tied for 12th.

He was at the time and then whatever happened after that let's just you know what let's just hold that moment in time forever. Max was top 12 on Thursday. He was let's hold that moment of time and we don't have to talk about the rest of the weekend. Well it wasn't actually technically a weekend it was just Thursday and Friday. Yeah. When you're talking about a golf tournament it's all the weekend.

Yeah it wasn't. There was no weekend days for Max this weekend. But he was top 12 at one point. Well actually no I should take that back. Max did have a weekend. He actually had a great week. He got to enjoy his week. He got to go hang out with his family for the weekend.

My favorite thing about about golf when it's played like on an ocean course or near any time it's nearby any body of water is just the answer is always saying now this putz going to break away from the ocean. Yeah. And I don't know if they are aware how gravity works with slopes and things but when they say it's always going to break away from the ocean I believe it but I don't think that's a hundred percent true all the time. It's also I you know the course was windy.

They it was cool. It was cool. It was windy but also it was on the ocean. The whole course. He also said what's his name. Scott which is the Scott that's not Scott. Not that guy. The other Scott.

He got it too hot. He's got it too hot. He was saying that he first of all he told a story about Phil Mickelson and gambling and tried to edit himself by changing the numbers of the units that they were betting against each other. Yeah. But it was obvious all he was doing was just taking away three zeros. Yeah.

So he's like I bet Phil a dollar and then he counter bet me a dollar then I bet him five dollars and then Phil said no let's make it a twenty dollar bet. It's like dude we know exactly you're not you're not masking it the way that you think that you're masking right. But then he also said that yes Phil Mickelson won this weekend but he in fact said that the course was the real winner. It was how it performed on Sunday. Yes.

And we'll see this back in the rotation of PGA championships. The ocean course. The ocean course. Yeah. You can also say the ocean course about like any place. I just like it because it means that it's really nice because usually when it's when they have to clarify that means there's probably I don't know there's probably like three or four courses at this club.

It's the ocean course. Our best page black. Have they ever played anything. Not blue. Not red. Not green. Yeah. No no no.

Black. Black. Yes. Black diamonds. All right. But yeah. Congrats to Phil. That was a fucking awesome story.

That was it's the it's the cheesy like sports rule moment. You know what I mean like watching Phil on Sunday all weekend really sports fucking rule. I do feel a little bit bad that somebody tried to go like Tonya Harding Nancy Kerrigan on Brooks's knee in the crowd. Yeah. But we don't talk. We don't have to talk about that. Just everyone watch yourself less bumping into Brooks more picking up his ball and putting

it in the hole. Yes. No. But yes. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. Okay.

Put it on a tee. Let's before we move on. Oh we have a special delivery pizza. Absolutely Jake. Whatever you want. Jake is delivering us a pizza from Slice. We actually just ate some pizza. We eat every single Sunday night when we're in the studio.

Thank you to Slice. Jake this is a big sausage pizza. Slice works with over 16000 local shops and has saved local pizzerias two hundred fifty million dollars in fees. You can earn free pizza when you order on Slice eight pizza points equals a free large pie. That's awesome. That's like buying a cup of coffee where you get the punch card.

You can earn pizza points by ordering from any of your favorite local shops. It's perfect. Perfect partner for ordering pizza ahead of the game. So download the Slice app. Use promo code take for three dollars off your first app order. I have the Slice app. It's awesome. So anytime you're thinking pizza new places old places anything.

Find it on the Slice app. It's more money for the pizzerias you love and three dollars off your first order on the Slice app with promo code take. You bring up a good point big cat and that's that when you order not through Slice sometimes you're paying more money for the delivery service and not as much money to the nice pizzeria that made your pie for you. Yeah. By the way I have a I have a coffee place to go to and they offer me the punch card every

time I decline. I don't know why but it's just such a fucking like power move that I just have over them. You know they see me almost every day and they're like dude you could get a free cup of coffee for them but in my head I'm like but then I'd have to fucking put it in my wallet and have to remember to bring it out. So every time they offer it they punch it and they try to hand it to me I'm like no thanks. But also you've got like that residual effect in your head of somebody trying to sell you

on like a TJ Maxx credit card every time you check out and you're like no I'm not going to let you I'm not yeah I know that's how they get you when they try to give you that stamp card. I'm not walking out of here with any paper yeah I walked in with no paper I'm walking out with no paper but I don't it's just one of those but we have to maybe when Mount Rushmore season comes we'll do do a Mount Rushmore subtle flexes it feels it feels good I feel like I have one up on them because I'm just like nah but I will see you tomorrow and the next day and the next day probably enough times this week alone to get a free

cup on Sunday but I'm still not going to do it. I recently cleaned up the old wallet and got rid of some stuff that I don't need I had like three different punch cards that were totally filled up that I've just never used even though I've been back to those places yeah because I feel bad claiming them yeah like give me something free I don't know you never know never know you never know alright let's talk some other things let's talk some other sports let's talk NBA let's talk about the watching capital season being over before should we are people asking you to get soggy did you say it was capture no I'd never said it was capture we're not getting soggy we're

getting al dente with pasta the complete opposite of soggy we're going to eat pasta until we puke if you want to join me Hank I think that's true I forgot about that and sure so we gotta figure out a time to do that all right the bottom line is the caps are not a good hockey team they did not deserve to win this series Hank congratulations your Bruins beat a undermanned injured shell of a playoff hockey team good job very proud of you you beat Zidane Ocharo the guy that you ran out of town the guy that you couldn't stand to see a second more wearing the gold black touching stuff in the hatchet wait was this a gentleman sweep it was a gentleman sweep in fact yeah Hank Hank gentlemen shit pump hey good to see you get a win yeah yeah

someone tweeted me the Kevin Malone win gift it's just nice to win one in that yeah that's honestly how I feel you needed so you're now down not quite as bad not historically bad yeah that uh I mean I thought that was going to be a series too no I mean especially the first three games going to overtime and then that was just it that was they just ran out of gas the Russian gas yeah I don't know what happened but yeah I don't feel great about it obviously but at least this was not a team that with the exception of like the immediate aftermath of the Tom Wilson incident where it seemed like the stars were aligning once I actually saw them playing the playoffs I was like this is not it'd be cap if I were

to say that it was caps here yes yes it would be kept and I get to continue to use cap now yes everybody's really excited about oh that's awesome I know you're cap I uh it if if you're going to lose you might what is this okay is he alive sure yeah I'm just making sure that if you're going to lose you might as well lose in like a week yeah I mean I do think that there is something to be said as much as fun it is it is to have your team make a deep run like if your team doesn't have it just be out and be the first team I guess they were technically the second team out but by the by the third round of the playoffs no one will even remember the capitals were in the play you know what we bowed out today

yeah it was a classic bow out all class from the capitals I would have liked to have seen a playoff game in DC with like a full capital one arena that would have been cool yes but yeah just not not a quality should we put a little slice of pizza underneath this is a significant nose and see if you can smell no we're gonna do it after we're gonna do it after his interview okay to wake him up yeah congratulations Hank I will I will fulfill the sought not the soggy sorrow but the pizza bet we figure out when we're doing that we should do that in a live stream yeah hopefully it's Bruins Islanders because oh and you just sitting in the back housing pizza go to Borelli's yeah because I'm gonna root for the Islanders

against the Bruins I want to see Frankie when I would go to the Borelli's for that yeah and just watch you just go to town on pizza although no it's not pizza's pasta pasta although go into Borelli's like yeah that's very disrespectful to puke mr. Borelli's pasta pasta up you think so yes if I eat enough so much I think that's disrespectful I think that's a crime against the that's a bet you got you're gonna need to sit down and you can sit down with him yeah that's a bet okay all right yeah I'm excited for that I'm excited for that all right oh Biz is moving again nope he is staying asleep the best part about Biz sleeping on the couch during this entire show is I guarantee you his hotel room is like two blocks away tops

yeah he was I was in here with him earlier and he was kept complimenting the couch I guess it's such a good couch he was just feeling you out to see if it was okay if he just laid down on it do you think he's like listening to us no well subliminally you think so I'm wake up in a little bit and he'll have our exact same takes he did ask me like seven times who was on the show tomorrow after we recorded our interview let's see what let's see if this what this does okay no he's not picking up his phone I thought maybe he would he would pick up his phone but he's dead to the world should we steal his wallet yes absolutely Jake can you steal his wallet steal his wallet steal his Rolex steal his Rolex steal something

steal something from and then tell everyone about how we gave it to him here we go Jake so everyone can be like oh my god he's getting up oh Jake has his phone he stole his wallet stole his phone he's got a miss call he's got cameo requests we should probably do those is he uh is he password protected yeah okay all right Biz is coming up in a minute he is coherent for our interview with him um let's talk some NBA let's talk some NBA players because we're gonna talk about all the Stanley Cup playoffs with Biz we go through the series and everything where do we want to start with NBA I have a take it's about the Celtics and the Nets okay the Celtics lost fire away that first half though had a great first half they had a chance Kim Walker

played terribly in the second half and the series is basically over sweet maybe gentlemen's sweet but no that's not how that whatever who cares maybe gentlemen's sweet for the Celtics right right um that's not gonna happen okay Kevin Durant they kept saying it during the broadcast like Kevin Durant came to Brooklyn because Brooklyn's cool and he didn't want to go to New York because dude he was proven wrong in the like in one season it's not like he was proven right over time he was so wrong about that they if he was on the Knicks right now they it would be it's already like insane it's already insane everyone's going crazy just just because they're in the playoffs not even that good of a team if Kevin Durant was on this team

people would be going insane they were trying to make Brooklyn and like the Nets and let's let's at least slow down a little bit because our friend Blake Griffin had a great game but they never talk about it plus one on the court they just talk about the big three uh kind of disrespectful they were trying so hard to make it like MSG or Staple Center by showing like the celebrities in the crowd and it was just old giants it was just Michael Strahan and OCU they probably paid them money yes correct like like you talk about trying to make up like at MSG they always do celebrity row where they show the celebrity and it's always Christopher Maloney from Law and Order like no matter what I've seen Christopher Maloney at Knicks games I've seen

him at Rangers games I've seen I'm pretty sure he was at the dog show he's but they always have like natural yeah yeah they always have like natural my rapper this one was just like a block of tickets that they gave to the New York Giants and they're like yeah distribute these as you see could someone please invite Eli yes nope Eli's not coming but it was it was painful how hard they're trying the other thing I had from that game was the first half of Celtics were like oh this could be a series then you remembered like the Nets just trade off possessions where it's like oh here's Kevin Durant you know shooting turn around like 15 footer over everyone here's Kyrie Irving finishing at the rim like no one else in the league here's James Harden you know

hitting threes and getting fouled going to the they they just when they all like all three of them are just so fucking ridiculous I don't and Blake I don't know how and Blake I don't know and Joe Harris I don't know how like you stop him I just don't yeah don't it's it's James Harden also back to being like a little bit chubby yeah he's no he's the number one on their team I said he's the he's the guy who keeps it going because when they he was out they were a different team he's a straw that stirs the drink no but I'm saying like physically his body he's looking good also like he is looking healthy a classical sense like he's got to put on old paintings of people for plus and it is really it's not talked about enough that this is the perfect setup for James Harden

because every single year the playoffs come around and it's like James Harden has to do so much and they call him differently than they do in the regular season and he fails like spectacularly on a public stage now he has Kyrie and Kevin Durant to help him out and he like those guys are the guys and he's somehow like the third piece even though he's not and also Jeff Green who will be in the NBA for the next 25 years probably because he does not age yes his face does not he looks the exact same as he did when he got into the league they've been calling him Uncle Jeff Green for 20 years 20 years ago he was 28 so I'd be a good Jake assignment but I was thinking as I was watching the game because they only talk about how Durant Harden and Kyrie account for like 87%

of all the points like we got to just do the kind of Kwame Brown just add Blake in there yes it's like Blake the old the old Hank Aaron Tommy Aaron yes Tommy Aaron hit hit 13 home runs Hank Aaron hit whatever seven but I think we're gonna start doing that on Twitter and stuff and really get it out there where it's like and put Blake Griffin first correct Blake Griffin the big four Kevin Durant James Harden and Kyrie Irving accounted for 90% of that and like Hank Lockwood and Jake Marsh have combined to win seven games of ping-pong in a row together correct that's congratulations thanks that's also a plus one yes plus one so you have one point right so it's like I think it was 83% for Kevin Durant so it's like 84 plus one when he was on the court they

were winning okay Blake won that game himself that's a fact all right other games there was actually the first round of the playoffs are awesome oh I'm not gonna be I'm gonna be the bigger person and point out cuz I was asleep on Friday night by the time the game like ended but I'm not gonna point out the fact that as cool as Wednesday night was with the playing game you know it'd be cooler as if Steph Curry was actually still in the playoffs because he was the eight seed but now we get the Grizzlies but I'm not gonna point that out point that out that was good good by me right because it would be cool to have Steph Curry in the series against Utah wouldn't I think a lot of people have said that but I don't think that we need to necessarily say

that ourselves um the heat box I think that's going seven Giannis can't you free those yeah well not in 10 seconds yeah I so there are people Chris Middleton maybe he's the guy so there are people that are complaining about the Giannis call but they were like the heat told the ref they're like hey he's taking 13 seconds every time with the ball yeah the ref can't at that point like ignore it and let him go 13 correct rules or rules you filed the yeah we had Christian Horner on on Friday you have to you file the complaint file the complaint and then I think was Jeff Van Gundy brought it up to like when LeBron was shooting free throws and saying he steps over the line every time like before he gets to the rim yeah we need to call him on

that like rules or rules yeah Shaq used to do that without doing that for a long there's chaos um all right so that game that was a great game J but awesome game J but hate it 22 hated poorly but I know jerseys pisses me off oh yeah no Ron our friend Ron said it's or if you know him also is uh uh angelo pal Antonio on this show uh he said it perfectly the heat basically were like hey the Pacers didn't make the playoffs let's just wear their fucking jerseys like it made no sense yeah that not to get really mad but that is essentially like we that's becoming uh like European soccer how European soccer watching European soccer in this office the last few years like you will watch when when troops has arsenal on

you will sometimes watch they'll be wearing teal they'll be wearing red they'll be wearing yellow it's like how how do you have that many colors I think none of these colors are the same and when you're the heat you've got great jerseys already great jerseys wear those and also get three colors to mix and match yeah we sound very old but I don't care I know I agree when you turn on that game the heat and then we're yellow yeah you're like what the fuck is this they made no sense they're Arizona state now if it's like a throwback like when the Lakers were the blue jerseys because it's like those were their old jerseys right one thing but but even I I'm okay with wearing a different color if white is the

main color because then it's like oh okay it's a different yellow just is not their color like if they were in the logo Pants on PMS 137 Jesus the flame it's the color of the flame the flame is yellow fine fine should the flame be white though like isn't white a hotter flame usually they do white hot they went with the saber magically the least hot color of flame as that's bad of the white that's why they lost yeah but the yellow clearly why they lost 137 shout Duncan Robinson shout out a great game yes are the Clippers is Kauai's legacy on the line that's what people are asking yes it is this is a legacy series this is a legacy because if you lose against the same team twice and back

to back years and that team doesn't eventually go on to win the championship we last year they in the bubble they lost the Mavericks in the bubble didn't they I thought they lost to the Nuggets am I wrong I've been wrong you're you're remembering that incredible Luca game I am yes he hit the game winner right that was incredible but I'm pretty sure they lost to the bubble mug okay over yeah my fault that's okay that's okay but yeah yeah no just readjust it okay I'm gonna you still have your pivot foot listen my point remains exactly the same even if my facts are incorrect my takes not gonna change you never you told me that hang on wait I'm where's the camera you told me you were assembling a super team

you said I was led to believe that the Clippers were gonna win three titles in a row when you assembled that team with that defense and you got you get Mr. Big Shot free agent quiet littered Mr. free agent signing of the summer and you can't even get to a finals get out of my face playoff P playoff poo poo yeah got him playoff P you I did see Steve are not seeing a Smith skip Bayless had a great take if you wondered what went wrong in that game by the way skip says I just figured out what I did wrong I ran for an hour before the Clippers game didn't have time to take a shower so put on the Versace robe Lil Wayne gave me for Christmas he's a Lakers fanatic the gold robe jinx me never again will I wear

it during a Clippers game that's three awesome brags in the same take on why the why he got jinxed by Lil Wayne's Lakers robe that's great Luke is awesome I love the Clippers because the Clippers are one of those teams that bring out like the worst takes in media because on paper they should be good so now it's if they're not good if they don't win this series do they hate playing with each other they hate each other who to play off P fuck oh yeah it be like who did quickly turn it like someone's girlfriend got pregnant because it makes those like hey maybe they're just not that good but no no no no they were supposed to be the best this was supposed to be their town now so we have to find a different reason

for why they saw we were led to believe is my favorite take because it's usually the people who did the leading to believe correct that then say they were led to yes we were told that they were going to be a superstar team that would win multiple titles and it's like no you you told us that yeah and then you incepted yourself into thinking everyone else thought the same way you're right but yeah Eric Andre shooting him being like how could you do this exactly I do think that like I have fun watching playoff P fail into playoffs yeah I'm starting to I'm it's not there but I'm getting close picture me actually feeling bad for playoff P I'm not there yet no but picture me bad for playoff P at that

point you and then switching back and forth between feeling bad and making fun of him with my dick in your clip I I didn't watch the I didn't watch our nuggets but this is a matchup nightmare for them so and also mellow mellow fucking putting it to the to the Denver crowd who were booing him I love it CJ to yeah CJ as well so yeah wild very played there now he's playing wait so when you dense them opponent locker room wow same building yes the change a change name now it's ball I feel bad for Jokic because he's gonna be like member that year when Dirk won the MVP but they were still giving out MVPs like during the second round like they physically were and he had to go accept it even though it

already been balanced like that's gonna happen to Jokic so you know what else is wild about Carmella so he played in that same building after he was drafted his coach in college you guessed it buddy Bayhams dad oh wait is it also Jimmy B. Hamster it is yeah oh wild wild crazy wild small world guys all right the Sixers Wizards bullets and the playoffs we call them the bullets the bullets I just love Ben Simmons stat line he that's the also can't shoot free throws that's the most Ben Simmons that line ever he went six points 15 rebounds 15 assists he didn't shoot how do you he's he really is like I he might be the greatest basketball player who cannot score I think I think he's kind of like he's

broken the game you would think that it would be impossible for a guy that is bad at shooting to be an elite basketball player yeah but he's somehow figured out a way to be insanely good at basketball well also not scoring points which is like he's just such a good facilitator yeah he is he is like the apex like there there is that guy who exists in every like pick up basketball game who can do literally everything but shoot the basketball and it's like how does he just jump over everyone how does he like dribble past everyone but he can't shoot he just forgot that part of the game what do you think would solve his because he obviously is like a very good athlete he's got it he's got it in his system he's a great

defender potentially be good at shooting a basketball it's in there somewhere like a hypnotist I kind of like the fact that like I I feel like the Sixers maybe I mean we'll see because they're the one seed and the east is kind of theirs to win obviously the nets are loaded but like maybe they figured it out that like just never expect Ben Simmons to score more than 15 points and you're good he can do everything else it's okay to do everything else yeah he I mean he is an incredible defender and I mean you can't get like a more physically dominating point guard and in like his height and everything so maybe that's just the answer I mean obviously help the Tobias Harris went off but him and indeed though shooting free

throws at the end of the game yeah it's a nightmare yeah it's taken both out yeah that's your two best defensive guys all right and so we've we've waited long enough let's talk about brawn brawn ah that him first of all I think before we talk about LeBron we should make sure Jake can you look up and make sure that LeBron James is healthy and that he doesn't have a serious injury that he's today I would feel bad personally joking about that if he was hurt if he was like in the hospital what's the outcome of that he's okay his Wikipedia says he's alive he should have been suspended for this game by the way for the tequila party that is the funniest part to me because what would what would LeBron James have to do to

get suspended by Adam Silver if like shoot up an airport kill Adam Silver's family I'm silver be like I sympathize with the players concerns over travel but we really and we really need ratings for game one yeah wait so did you see the the theory that it was a Kardashian set up because that's her who which one Kylie Kendall dates Devon Booker and it's Kendall's tequila and she was trying to get him suspended for game one which why would you do game one like the Lakers never win game ones so or LeBron doesn't like that's his kind of this thing yeah believe me I've been on the other side of him when like the bulls used to beat him in game one I'd be like this is the year that was his feeling

to happen yeah and then you just fucking rip your soul out so the injury well CP3 that was such a classic CP3 moment where it's like oh of course he's gonna get injured which I think still will happen but it was a freak thing sucks but he came back and I don't know how injured he is but only to be upstaged by LeBron which I so put this clip like actually put the clip Liam while we're talking about it if you notice so LeBron goes down after a guy who's like a foot smaller than him boxes him out and LeBron's basically dead on the ground sniper shot from the ceiling pretty much dislocated shoulder right so he's got all the eyes on him and then a funny thing happens my man campaign decides you know what I'm gonna step up for my

teammates a little scuffle a little brew ha ha happens around like the elbow three point area right LeBron looks up and he sees oh no all the attention is off of me so the scuffle happens LeBron gets up he walks over to where the scuffle happened and then he collapses again at that exact spot so that everyone then looks at LeBron and his pretty much broken shoulder and I just have to say chef's kiss that was truly the goat of like LeBron you know injury antics which I I'm actually now getting to the point where I love it because it just adds such a funny element to the game and of course people say you guys are LeBron haters yes I'm a LeBron hater but I also admit that he's fucking insane second best player of all time yada yada yada if you can at

least laugh and be like dude this is ridiculous the guy who never gets injured is always getting injured in the most horrific fashion oh I I flipped on LeBron's injury thing in the playing game when he like pulled up when he opened up his eyes and it looked like he was actually dead he LeBron James thought that he was dead yes during the play like it was yeah he got poked in the eye but if you're inside his brain he actually thought either he had been sucked into the vortex and he was playing with a tune squad again or he thought that he was seriously dead and he opens his eyes and it was a miracle and and in his brain it's a miracle that he was able to play in that game in this game I don't think he does it on purpose I think it's just like

part of his nature the asterix this is just what ever since he's been involved with the EPL yeah he's like he's learned he but he's been doing this forever remember when he dove into the cameras watch this watch this ready okay so he goes down yeah and he's writhing and he's writhing in pain and now okay everyone's watching LeBron oh no the camera's going to this fight okay okay wow this fight everyone's looking at this fight LeBron is left dying in the paint and no one is paying attention to him this is tragic LeBron then gets up finds the the energy to just walk over and then gets the exact same spot where the scuffle happened up and he's dead again and he goes back down on his knees where he then has the trainers check him out at the scene of the of the

fight it's just it is the most it was also let's be honest it was it was kind of a borderline dirty plan Chris Paul on the reason did you see that so like Chris Paul grabs him tries to do the Kelly Olenek but Chris Paul is just too small that he can't he's not strong enough to pull his arm out of his shoulder and that's what sent him down onto the ground so like I think you know what I think that's what LeBron was actually saying was the injury I don't think anything to do with the fall I think it was the pull that he was trying to embellish to the point of having it like a stage two separation right I just oh my god I was watching it and it's truly like it I know people always like hey you need to really appreciate living through the LeBron era era I appreciated

that moment when he had the wherewithal to get up and get re-injured in the exact spot where all the action and cameras were mm-hmm that is just truly special and and I know LeBron fans would be like oh you're you know stop talking about his fight he makes it part of his game it's fair game to talk about this because every game he dies and every game he's awesome and he's probably going I I responsibly 1-800 gambler if you have a problem I think the Lakers game two is the lock of my lifetime like I think they're LeBron will answer you don't mean an AD like we said like he forgets that he's a seven footer he thinks he's a mouse he's an elephant the Lakers will be fine in this series and LeBron will start dominating and it will all be for not but that I mean sons like it was

fun to see the sons sons crowd their jerseys back in the playoffs all that stuff and they have a fucking good team their team is awesome I disagree with you I think the sons are gonna win really I think they're gonna win the series I've just been down this path too many times like it's just too many times for LeBron to give up game one and to be like oh there it is the only thing is I think he's met his match with Chris Paul I feel I feel like they're two sides of the same coin when he wants to take over he can't he's still when he wants to be the most dominating player like he what he scored 18 points today like he didn't he didn't push it he took 13 shots he didn't he was hungover big cat and AD was not good AD would like I do think that that obviously is LeBron can

obviously only do so much at his age which is a lot but he does need Anthony Davis to play like peak Anthony Davis and I'm sure that will happen too and then the Lakers will win six or seven and then we'll be like oh well that was fun to think that the sons had a chance no sons are gonna win this is a biz snoring oh do you stop all right the Mecca the Mecca is back Mecca was rocking big time the Knicks fan base it's cool to see this oh just happy to be here wow you think that's cute oh okay well I saw they lost the game today they did yeah they were in it they had a chance to win but isn't that there's so many Knicks fans are like that was so much fun but this is all I don't I didn't actually see any Knicks fans being like this is so much fun I'm just glad to be a saw a person

that was there that was like that was awesome trigger warning away from the game trigger warning for Knicks fans but I'm going to say this isn't the epitome of Knicks basketball being back is to have an awesome player go to the Mecca and just rip the soul out of all Knicks fans like that's kind of Knicks basketball at least since I've been alive so like that's that actually should feel really back it was really familiar yeah familiar like oh this is Reggie Miller or Michael Jordan or Scottie Pippin like this is it this feels good the atmosphere did look cool though like having having the Mecca rocking like that yeah and and the Knicks the Knicks lead the league and and it's been so long since they've had a playoff game and I'm it is fun I'm rooting for them because I

want Derrick Rose to do well and I do love Tom Thibodeau who needs to size up in his Q-zip he needs to like I'm sorry but he needs to he looks like a Pixar villain when he's like squeezed into that thing yeah a little bit he I think like with a slick back hair and the French last name and the hardcore he's basically a hockey coach yeah right right exactly he is he is a hockey coach so I like the suit not fit if Tim's rolled out there looking like GQ yeah that would be concerning to me you the players wouldn't play as hard for Tibbs if you were an outfit that fit I I do think the Knicks are gonna win this series I do think they'll make adjustments and I love that the Mecca has leads the league in dudes rocking jerseys with nothing underneath it's fucking awesome

and it's every age you see eight year olds you can see six year old Wall Street guys they got the jersey on and they got no t-shirt underneath gold chain underneath though gold gold chain is the only thing that's permitted it's something about that look that brings like a spring time summer time playoff energy that I love I just love it also it's been a while since somebody has had to shush the crowd at MSG yeah so I got although Trey Young does need some work on his shushing it was like his shush was yeah his finger was at his forehead it was a weird shush yeah he's covering up the hairline I think yeah but it was weird shush needs work on that but that kind of goes along with having a guy suck the soul out like getting shushed at MSG by an opposing player I

don't know brought back Reggie Miller to me yes yes exactly and Spike Lee looking like how could this happen well it happens all the time it's but it's good that's happening I that's my point I do want them to win I want to see like multiple rounds of play I want to see Nets vs Knicks which I think would only happen in the Eastern Conference final but that would be sick all right and then the Jazz are playing right now I don't know they're the Jazz I mean they should be playing the Warriors but again I'm not gonna say it I'm not gonna say that it was cool that we had that Wednesday night moment it's awesome that we don't stuff curry in the playoffs even though they had the ace seat again not gonna say it F1 Monaco Monaco did we do we give him the PMT Bum I think

so horn yeah we'll take credit for it he pissed in the right toilet he found his lucky toilet and Matt Vester chef Verstappen Max Verstappen took the checkered flag yes and that was talking F1 they're back and then soccer ended today by the way I saw episode 2 yeah or no no episode 4 now okay fucking Renault with the with the contract dispute and then they fucking get Ricardo yeah yeah spoiler alert it's crazy well yeah if you haven't watched yet but he's he's on that team and also the team has totally changed their name yeah I noticed that today when I was looking at the stage I was like I was like where's Renault yeah yeah but it's fun to talk F1 and also I learned what a gearbox is yeah what is a gearbox because I box of gears okay that makes sense I I'm just

so thrilled that I have a new group of fans that I can just pretend I know what I'm talking about and then them get mad at me and then maybe like okay whatever like I didn't even is Red Bull is Red Bull racing bad for F1 no but the the the constructors cup is back on oh yeah that's what they call it my second is it constructors I think it's constructors right do you seriously just look at me like I what do you get when you win the constructor constructor structure standings yeah I'm just out of the cup that's fine it's the table yeah yeah but there's two tables yeah there's the singular table and then there's the team table right team table yeah max per stop and is is on the top of the regular well he's not a great teammate person yeah oh business

weeks ago when we talked about cicadas I said be on the lookout for cicada content because we hadn't had like a cicada resurgence since the blogosphere has really been a thing cicada content is way more fucked up than I thought it was going to be like there's some cicada freaks out there there's waiting to shine there's a guy that's like making action figures of like demonic like characters and comic book characters out of cicada shells it's fucking disturbing of course there's like all sorts of cicada like recipes and like ways to cook them and ways to prepare them and right fun things like that that are kind of gross but like we predicted that I did not think that the internet had freaks that would basically like jack off to cicada porn look up look up the

cicada shell action figures yes it's frankly disturbing is that it who's back yeah who's also man city man city's back yeah they are what they do they won one top of the table for EPL nice man city bitch man city you said soccer ended today who won man city yeah top of the table swans might be coming up next Saturday they play a game to decide if they're coming up at Wembley no big deal all right my who's back is just a woe stat for you there was on Friday no Thursday maybe the 20,000th MLB player of all time debuted which is fucking crazy that if you think about it this goes back to I don't know 1870 or something 20,000 players that's it so if you took every player who's appeared in a single game of major league baseball they wouldn't even come

close to filling a major league baseball stadium when you put it that way it's kind of it's crazy to think only 20,000 players have ever played major league baseball it also puts into perspective just how incredible of a human being Dan Herron is correct because he's one of 20,000 and really like 5,000 who were like really good at baseball and Dan Herron has gotten hits off of what two of those yes maybe upwards of five of those 20,000 was the upper post that he's gotten hits off like 9% of anyone that's ever pitched yeah not really that impressive well it's not as impressive when you realize it like for 75 of like the 150 years of baseball it was pretty much just like the Yankees playing the Dodgers every year there were like three guys named gentlemen that were pitching yeah

guy with three fingers the best player in baseball had three fingers for like a decade yes yeah but that's just a crazy stat 20,000 because you think you I would have guessed way more if I had like if I had no knowledge of it thinking about 150 years of the game being played 20,000 as well 20,000 it was a backup catcher for the Seattle Mariners which is kind of cool he got into he was the 20,000th player to appear in a game does he get does he win anything is it like a supermarket when they're a millionth customer I wonder how many of those 20,000 like only played like less than 10 games yeah just got a cup of coffee cup of coffee such a cool thing to say I actually I saw an article the other week and I wanted I meant to click on it and I feel bad that I didn't click

on it so if somebody could summarize it for me but basically saying like if you get labeled as a middle reliever in baseball you're fucked yeah unless you unless you go out there and you have a streak of like 20 awesome games in a row as middle reliever you're fucked and you're just gonna like move around for the rest of your career and you'll pitch two innings a game like every other game because no one wants to actually pay you like real money you'll never just go yeah you'll never become a closer you'll never become a starter I think cup of coffee in Major League baseball might be the coolest like not like coolest like I was an athlete but not I didn't I wasn't like a star kind of thing to say yeah maybe maybe drafted in in like I don't know maybe

drafted in the NBA or NFL but then then people like what went wrong yeah how come you didn't last cup of coffee in Major League baseball means like you climbed it like you did it you you you went through right there's way more shit way more grinders than right and be and oh my god MLB right NBA or right because it's just like there's so many less people you have to be super talented just to get in right and then you usually flame out right it would also be sick if you were like a running back that scored I don't know like you a backup running back that got in scored a few touchdowns and became like a fantasy must start for like three games to end out a season right and then no one ever heard from you again yes then you'd at least have like a built-in fan base

of guys were like Peyton Hillis thank you for winning the season yeah what's his name Gray Jonas Gray yeah he's on the cover of sports illustrator right yeah yeah slept in yeah Jake who's your who's back I have one did you guys see this Mariners lineup first you're talking about the manners there's like two or three guys that I think are like recognizable names let me see it let me see it I'll tell you Donovan Walton lead off hitter okay Mitch Hannigar Kyle Seeger recognizable yeah Kyle Lewis yeah I've heard of those three then Jose Godoy that's the guy that's that's the 20,000 yeah Jose Godoy right 20,000 Sam Haggerty Jacob Nottingham Jack Mayfield and Justin Don and they had but they had some kid who came up recently who's like supposed to be a

superstar the Mariners are low-key and this is now a direct shot at our friend Spencer Haas who may or may not be trying to get Kwame Brown on the show Jared Kelley the one from the Jared Kelley he's gonna be sick yeah the Mariners are like one of those teams it's kind of like Minnesota sports and the Seattle Mariners you don't really understand the sadness until you actually like look into it a little bit you're like oh shit they haven't been in the playoffs ever since 2001 pretty much never yeah and they and they had Ken Griffey Jr. and Randy Johnson and A-Rod I mean that team was one and they had all those they had Ken Griffey Jr. A-Rod was Tino on it yeah thank you us eat your oh yeah I mean that's later but I'm saying like

they had A-Rod and Ken Griffey Jr. and Randy Johnson and Edgar Martinez all it like the height of their powers those are four Hall of Famers and nothing to show for it mm-hmm that's it's sad so I didn't mean to do that that was a complete tangent I apologize to Mariners fans that's complete assault but it's more actually saying we feel your pain one's last time they went to play us 2001 and what was their record was at the 16 that was yeah they lost the White Sox right in the first round no they lost the Yankees in the ALCS in the ALCS okay never mind they beat the White Sox in the first round maybe the Indians and white socks with you I think you're thinking I think you're thinking of the year they broke the record yes that's right and then

they lost in the first yes they was at the year before 2000 2000 what they was a record 91 71 okay so that wasn't the record no the night it was 01 was 116 116 and 46 holy shit yeah that's insane they had a couple years where they were really really good and missed the playoffs to hundred spikes by bad ones though 116 they lost the AL championship series so they did win around they won around in the playoffs in 2001 and 2000 it's been 20 years I remember I went to I went to a game out there like three years ago awesome great park great food great food yeah great park really cool highly recommend it but I looked up and there was like a banner that said AL West 2001 or whatever it might not even been the AL West then and I was like holy shit is that the last

time they went to the playoffs and it was and this is your sad man they've won like mid 90s really sad I'm sorry times and they apologize when I really know they know no I know but it's very sad yes like say but you know what they probably appreciate the fact that it's brought up because sometimes when you're playing out West on a team that's as unremarkable as Mariners are you kind of you lose that vibe of being like the most lovable losing franchise they have like a coolness factor that's why I can't graffiti should be lovable losers yes and it really is it's more shining a light like when you when you talk about like these certain cities we're like oh yeah it's worth like we always talk about Cleveland or we always talk about you know the bills like but

no there are some there's some really bad ones out there whoo all right enough of that let's do our interview with Paul Bissonette and then we're gonna wake him up and that should be very exciting our interview with biz was brought to you by our friends at Bose you gotta check out Bose Bose quiet comfort earbuds are the world's most effective noise canceling earbuds out there if you're trying to you know maybe block out the noise on the subway if you're going for a run along like you know a lake path or something you know maybe you're just walking down the street and trying to get rid of the noise out there or maybe you're at a busy work I know our work our office is very busy always buzzing it's good to have those both Bose quiet comfort earbuds because

just farted on fumes I literally just farted his entire way into the studio I heard it and then I was like oh yeah I'm getting out yeah I got a little bit it's Paul Bissonette you can probably smell it through your your phone yeah you got caught in the tracksido shorts I try to give it the old is there anything worse there's nothing worse than being like all right I'm doing the right thing I'm gonna fart outside of the room and just having it just I actually give one fuck I wish I would have let it rip right in the middle you should have if you got another one just let it go this is beaming right now he says that he's running on fumes but this is this is biz nasty in his element he's done four streams in four days an Ironman streak some may say I just

never be beaten by anybody hard work I would say Phil Mickelson Paul Bissonette achievement this week now you four straight days kind of like a major yeah yeah but not this is actually technically five and and should we talk about it or is this a sensitive subject because he beat we already talked about it on the show earlier yeah I don't know why you're coming at Brooks we brought you on to talk about NBA so is LeBron James the toughest person in sports I haven't been following any basketball yeah let's talk hockey hockey has taken over the sports universe you are a Twitter account right now you are the person that we were talking about on the show that replies relevant at and talk about talk about hockey why are you talking about but here we are let's

talk about some hockey I actually have some questions where do we start would you want to start with the question we asked right before this whole started this whole whole taping started you looked up you saw the abs closed out the blues I wasn't paying attention is anyone beating the abs I don't know but I tell you what everybody in hockey has been waiting for avalanche gold nights and I think everybody was skeptical whether it was gonna happen Minnesota came in with a bit of a wagon they made a late push in the at the season where everyone was like oh geez are they gonna knock off Vegas I think it's gonna be Vegas Colorado and it's gonna be a juggernaut of a series and we are going to see it you think whoever wins that

series wins a cup I think that those are two of the biggest heavyweights the only I mean we talked about I think last time I came on the show when I predicted that the Philadelphia Flyers are gonna win this family cup you just did that to yourself I don't remember that at all like you just cell phoned it I thought maybe some team from the north would have an easy entry to the final four where they wouldn't have been tested as the abs or gold nights would in the second round what so wait the other sucks at the two best teams get the gold face off in the second round yep and also that John DeVaris got hurt and is probably out do you think he's out for the playoffs I would assume I mean I don't know they said no structural damage but I mean

with concussions and how serious it was and then and then actually there was reports that came out afterward about how his knee had been injured now well yeah his knee probably got injured because look I'm not telling the equipment staff I'm not a trainer what to do but that was that was a lot of dead weight look they went to try to like they picked him up like a puddle they tried to pick him up like he was water and he was just flopping everywhere because he was very concussed it was basically Will Ferrell in in the Flint tropics whatever that movie is like dangling and they're playing origami with the body does that mean when you say no structural damage but he has a concussion where does it what what is part of the structure what I thought

originally they thought that maybe his orbital bone yeah because his knee hit him right in the face right so no structural damage is important but as far as the concussions concerned it could be that could be three to four weeks based on like how that that looked what you think about the fight after because I know there's a lot of people who are very upset about it I think it's partly because it's Corey Perry which I understand and there was a lot of people like what are you doing there's like that's not going to make John Tavares come back but I the way I saw it was it's guys who are competing at a high level playoff hockey emotional you don't know that it was a complete accident and then your initial reaction is we got to defend our fucking guy fair mind you

at the face-off circle Felino said I know it was an accident but I have to do this so so many variables okay so that is then like old-school meatball it's the most hockey thing ever be like hey no hard feelings but I didn't know you sure I didn't know he's sure face no offense all variables considered Felino comes over from Columbus he wants to make an impact first series the captain gets knocked out it happens to a guy who is a bit of a he's a heel Corey Perry yes yes that's what I'm saying it's it's it there are certain guys when they hit someone even if it's an accident you just assume he did it on purpose yeah so he so he wants to implement a little bit of pain to Corey Perry for implementing pain to his team in a sense and on the flip side of that is

when something like that happens in the midst of a game let alone a playoff game the the both benches are completely depleted because they're both concerned about the health of the player in my opinion that Felino fight right off the face-off with Corey Perry completely resets the mindset of both teams the we're right back in the midst this is playoff hockey not to say it didn't happen but we're trying to forget about it as soon as possible so I actually like that I thought the rest of the game was awesome it was very competitive given the fact that something as serious as that and and the game got fucking kind of timed out for what 15 20 minutes as he took the iron pony off the ice it was a kickstarter back in the game it was a kickstarter back into the game

and the fact that he gave the thumbs up on the way out I think let his own team know hey I'm gonna be all right so it was it was very sad in one sense but it was nice to see the game get back going in the other what about the the caps ruin series I'm just gonna assume it's the first intermission right now it's zero zero caps have looked pretty bad with time traveling in their last four periods of hockey but I'm already accepting the fact that the caps will probably lose this game yeah they're like 99% chance gonna lose this series because they don't look like themselves they look old they look they're injured they're banged up they're very banged up thank you okay so that's the spins I was wondering what spin zone I was gonna use but if we were at full

strength and this is a different series apparently oh she's banged up uh-huh and yeah it's just it's not their year so when it comes to Ovi this is their championship he's a free agent it could be yeah it could be not their year Paul Bissonette who said it's the flyers you know what and you could say I took that personally so what happens what happens after the season because Ovi's a free agent going into this offseason he's going to Buffalo shut up I think I probably be okay with that I'd probably be fine with with Ovi going to the Sabres but I don't want to see him play for another team do you think that because he said it's like I either want to play for the Capitals or I want to play in Russia for the rest of my career do you see him going somewhere else

yeah Russia okay yeah I'm fine with that him and Putin team up for like 20 combined goals where what uh where where'd you land on the Tom Wilson shit I know where Whitney was I mean take a guess we're busy well no I think I was in here when it all happened no no no like I'm saying that was another time with Ranger yeah with the Rangers where did you land on I knew we know where you know Whit I landed on the fact that Panera went spider monkey on his back and right and in the heat of the moment he threw him off and I as a Rangers fan yeah I probably wouldn't be happy but yeah I thought I thought that no suspension was the right call and and that was it we moved on yeah and do you think that there's like so it feels like obviously they've phased out fighting in hockey

and part of that's not true well it's definitely different well if you check the analytics well if you check the analytics to this year it it rise like 40% really and people credit it to the fact that it was all this indivision in division play but I think that I think that the hate has has brewed back up in the NHL and you're seeing it in these playoffs and that's why more so than any sport I think that that hockey has like it just rises to another level when it gets the playoff hockey every fucking whistle there's a scrum the hatred is real every series in the first round is competitive on unlike the sick league where it's half the series are 4-0 that's correct yeah that's the one the one sweep of the series that's because the abs are in fact a juggernaut what about this

biz I think that there's more fighting in hockey this year because it's kind of a backlash the players are backlashing against the media because the media has gotten so soft correct when it like you've got the number one's hockey podcast spitting chicklets basically neutering the game and trying to take all the physicality out of it and the players are out there and they're like you know what we're gonna prove to you that this is still a physical game even though the media is trying to drag us in this one direction do you agree with that I can 100% agree you can't play the game on a spreadsheet you cannot that's I mean there's I do think that less fighting the 20 years ago is good but you'll never get it all the way out of the game nor should it be all

you say that half jokingly where the media kind of brought it to this place and obviously concussions are at the forefront right now and everybody's trying to understand what's going on with that but I think that for a period of time everyone was kind of in this like neutral standpoint of like is the game getting a little bit softer should we maybe take out the fighting and it's gone right back the other way but your explanation of the Corey Perry situation you know in that series between the Leafs and the Canadians was the perfect example of like a player's perspective versus a media's perspective where I didn't you know I'm not media members were going why is why is he fighting and what you just saw there's a lot of reasons you had 20

minutes no needs to prove himself right his new franchise to say I'm fucking here and I'm ready to stick up for my teammates on the flip side of that you got a guy in the other team who I would assume most guy in the Leafs locker room hate his guts which most other members in the league hate his guts Corey Perry because he every time he shows up to play in a game he's showing up the win and whether that's landing on the goal he taking a cheap shot here taking a cheap shot there and that was their response and even though it was an accident I thought it reset the tone to the series and I thought it was the right play but that's the part that I think everyone misses what you said the like you got 20 minutes you're just standing around on the ice you know hoping

that John Tveres is okay the Bruins just scored hoping John Tveres is okay and then you got to be like hey guys let's get back into this like it's playoff hockey and that kick started it so I do appreciate your perspective on that I have a question about the Lightning who also that is another series so actually if you actually look at it I think it's going to be as sweep if the Bruins win this that'd be 4-1 if the Lightning win their next one that'd be 4-1 but you're right everything's competitive I think I think the Lightning are only up 2-1 right now that they're up 3-1 too yeah I'm pretty sure I'm 3-1 you've been doing a lot of streaming yeah you've been doing so many streams it's probably hard yeah I think they I think they added a lightning what do you think

about the complaints about the Kutcher of like coming in well now he's hurt but the salary cap because I know people were pissed about it I personally think that you can't complain about it because those are the rules also as a Blackhawks fan the Blackhawks the Blackhawks did the exact same thing in 2015 with Kane so for people who don't know in the NHL the salary cap is doesn't exist for the playoffs so the argument is Kutcher does it exist in any league well no but I'm saying like you can have you can be over the cap in the playoffs well can you get penalized for that in NBA yeah you can't be yeah I think there's like okay I think you have to be under the cap or there's either way the in the NHL you can put someone on long-term you know injured reserve and their

money doesn't count and then sign a bunch of guys and then when you get to the playoffs if they get healthy oh wow now you like I think the Blackhawks were about five million over the cap in 2015 they activate him as the playoffs are kicking off it's 2-1 oh it's in the lightning series oh really are you sure that's a loud 2-1 that is allowed 3 I'm pretty sure it's 3 did they play that I think they played this off yeah they're 3-1 3-1 you missed the game I know some people were complaining see the statistic well Jake doesn't have a microphone right now but Jake right after I said that Jake shook his head he was like factually incorrect should we have a wrestling match right here to solve this well Jake will fuck you up you think

they'll fix that that like salary cap gymnastics I think that yeah I think maybe the next CBA address it there was things that they had to address last time every time there's a few GM's who they they they'll read the whole CBA negotiation and they'll find a way to manipulate it right whether it's like eating you know other teams players that can't be on the lineup in order to gain draft picks and take on that salary I mean the Coyotes have done it a few times they took on HOSA they took on Datsuk they took on the end of Chris Pronger's contract yeah you guys are dominant yeah you found all the loose just a bunch of hall of famers I'm playing a game for the organized yeah Chris Pronger raised their jersey so all right it I've accepted the fact that my

team's not going to go anywhere big cat doesn't have a dog in a fight I think you I did I did Hank is a Bruins guy so I guess technically he's still in but who knows because the Capitals aren't shit and they beat them in the first round. Jake's Panthers are down bad depending on who you believe right so I guess I'm asking who who would be a good bandwagon team for us to hitch ourselves to because I think we said at one point we would be a Maple Leafs as our Canadian team but now it's like now that Tavares is gone not looking so great for them should we stay with them personally I'm going to just go with the sport of hockey because I don't know if you know but like playoff hockey is just different I'm cheering for a respectful handshake line maybe

Vegas because they they delivered your first oh that's true I do owe them yeah yeah slap it around flower I don't like flurry he just he broke my heart too many times there's some there's some history there I could get the avalanche like they they're a young fun team I mean McKinnon what he I think he's I think he's leading the the playoffs and goals right now yeah I don't look at the individual numbers spoken like a guy who never scored a goal yeah seven I want seven goals what was your best you should you should also add like as the years go on no one will know like if you just say no next year when we're doing like I heard I heard I had 12 my no seven and my best one was against the San Jose Sharks and I chased the goal the goal he got

pulled after I scored against the coach was like yo this guy's fucking scoring yeah you're out of here would you do retire set me up walk me through like what was going on in your head for your best goal ever it was the first game after all-star break I was my legs were cramping up because I drank a lot in Vegas and we ended up you know having a good time during that all-star break and then we were in the offensive zone against San Jose I think it was in the first or second period actually and Oliver Ekman Larson set me up in the slot and I just it was the perfect setup and I ended up going to top cheese and it made it three nothing were you meaning to yeah I think yeah I think so in that moment yes and then we have a selling ready to go

we went up we went up three nothing and then here we go and then they scored five on answer and we lost but I had my guy and I scored five on answer oh yeah oh yeah top cheddar there's Niamie getting pulled you're jacked up I had my guy high fives to the bench Todd McClellan water bottle swig get a replay here all right that was all over sick assist boom who's in gold that that's your best goal ever huh yeah Niamie I think yeah yeah I think you want to cup with the struggle box yeah that was this was after so during the Blackhawks runs were you were you just following them around trying to write right on their coattails Patrick Sharp was probably the nicest person of all time give you you guys have had him on spit and check let's know

I don't maybe before I was on he he basically was like yeah you can come hang out and when they won in 13 and 15 just like there was a moment where I was on the bus and it was like the whole team and just me and Kane was like what are you fucking doing here he gave me the what the fuck yeah he was like who fuck brought the blogger I was like which is fair for him but especially because like the media doesn't really wasn't really nice to Patrick Kane did he warm up after yeah yeah big time yeah he's probably like I just called this guy a blog I mean I was that was my entire job then so it was totally there now are you guys playing tummy sticks who DM you you and Patrick Kane I mean I I haven't talked to him in a while I think if I saw him on the

street he would say what's up yeah you saw him during his crazy days to yeah yes yeah he's cleaned her up quite a bit yes I think he has a kid yeah and and no no no it wasn't a set up that was a segue to that we get it you got a chance earlier on the podcast you don't blow as we get it having a kid is means nothing to everyone you don't have any loads we get it gone the rope man heavy is there is there a process to in print in pregnanting a girl like do you get you guys like what's like you definitely a man woman love each other I know but like do you know do you think you're over your father all right maybe yeah but I'm saying it's like when you know you want to get pregnant like you go out together and like drink wine one

night and like you know go for a nice dinner and then you just come home you just raw dog just dump and load after load and just hoping it can that was so romantic is that how it goes yeah and then a light bulb goes off boom yeah I've always wondered like it when you are getting girl pregnant do you know like the second after it happens you walk where you're like are you dropping Peter North loads big heavy ones to Peter North is part of this show he's Canadian he's part of this show Lord we showed him to Scott Van Pelt on one you guys should get him on and ask how he was able to I would I want to know fun around the show because that guy went off the grid like nobody has ever disappeared harder no he pops up every now and then I need

people have pictures people will like take pictures with him like in like Florida I think he lives in Key West Peter North we should we also showed it's hard we showed his heart to Peter King Peter King Peter King actually he ate it like Peter King was like oh that's a cock I know like that's a that's a penis weird that's penis ish Peter we're gonna get back to Paul Bisonette in a second before we do want to talk to you guys about our great great friends over at bird dogs I'm rocking my bird dogs right now it's summertime shorts are back big time Hank told you that last week and when I'm wearing shorts I'm wearing bird dogs every single time bird dogs are the perfect short if you're out there still wearing random shorts that you pick up here

into the fact that you were injured again when you scored a goal to make us realize how tough you are but the Vegas flu is real during the regular season is it real in the playoffs like our teams going out in Vegas no playoffs series all playoff times you guys walk it in yeah you're an absolute degenerate if you're chasing it in playoffs and there's enough times during the regular season where you can kind of unload although on the flip side of that the the year st. Louis went to their cup apparently they were having a blast throughout the entire playoffs getting lit up but usually on the road on the in the in the hotel they had this like a way sweet where you can play all the videos games and stuff and apparently they were getting

buckled big time in their in their road suites wherever they were and even when even when the LA Kings won their cup every time they won a series they were I think the eight see when they won their first time they were going out in Hollywood like three four nights in a row and they would just rip it up so the as far as Vegas is concerned I don't think anybody who's traveling to Vegas right now to win a Stanley Cup is drinking the game has changed a little bit yeah I just like how you say Vegas Vegas organization yeah the Vegas the Vegas organization is is top class Jake what do you think I think it's Vegas but I think it's cool you put your little jake just made you put you in his back pocket speaking of putting back have you

recovered from when I sweated you on was that Wednesday night I beat the fuck out that was live stream one that felt like six months ago I think I was live streamed to I think that was the actually the night that big cat impregnated his wife was 12 hours that's not how should we explain the fact that in girls are not pregnant for nine months yeah yeah no biz like I blew his mind ten months I had no clue because there's no month zero yeah it's ten months I'm tired what else are we gonna talk about all right what other big like takeaways you have from the playoffs I'm drinking a Coca-Cola right now yeah I'm struggling guys as I said for live streams in a row a couple interviews not a bit just carrying this whole sounds like almost like I'm back

it's like listing all the things you did and it's like that's a work week what's the other down to oh mcdavid has not recorded a point I don't that's that's taken over in the game they're playing right now is he no longer mcjesus you that you guys calm that all the time it's like I would think that a player that had earned that nickname would show up in the playoffs it's hard because I mean he's basically having to live live up to gratsky right Jesus actually no gratsky give us give us the rankings of young guys McKinnon McKinnon's awesome Matthews in my opinion and then you're saying mcdavid's number one yeah mcdavid's one because of the skill set I like McKinnon just because he's got this like pitbull attitude to where he just he'll throw

hits and he's just he's like tight bay like he just wants to like step on your throat and I I embrace that in a you know in a competitor and a type of guy that I would want on my team as my first line center perfect biz jinx mcdavid has to assist tonight the Edmonton Oilers are up to I would have put a gazillion dollars on the fact he would have put up a point after getting shut out in his two first games at home yeah that was the easiest bet they were wearing you guys bet that they were wearing the worst bet that no they were wearing the worst sweaters on money on how much does that play in when a team comes out in like their worst alternates because you see the Oilers in game one they were wearing the black with like orange they were that terrible terrible they have

great fucking jerseys and then they go with sometimes you overthink it and it just it just fucks everything up I mean that that is true though like look good play good right like when you're wearing your feel good play good all the time yeah when you're wearing the throwback yachts with the cool fucking the Kachina yeah is that what his name yes okay well they came out with a reverse retro this year which is one of the jerseys they had early on in the organization where it's kind of like the Kachina head what organization yeah I love how you say it I fucking love how you say it yeah that's the good stuff that's why people listen to your podcast there's little things like that I fucking love how you say it that's I'm being genuine right now and it

has the purple on it and I know that's Justin Bieber's favorite color and a lot of these young kids like the purple royalty in the you know in the uniforms now is that another word you like that I say royalty no uniforms organizations and uniforms unique and yeah we came out with a really nice reverse retro I personally think that the Kachina is one of the nicest jerseys in all of pro sports what about a game that was like the the Oilers on Friday night it was 0-0 went to overtime when it's when it's a 0-0 game in the playoffs are both teams just like afraid to make a mistake at that point after like two periods of scoreless hockey it's it felt like everybody was just really really tight I mean those are games where I'm like perfect I fit right in nobody's got a point I

don't got a point this is great everybody's having a great time other than maybe the guys who were expected to get points and at some point somebody gets a point yeah I don't really know how I'm going to answer that. Until that point everybody is equal on the ice what nobody's a minus yeah maybe if you look at the ice time there's a difference but it doesn't matter what is the moment if you can point to it when overtime hockey becomes drunk hockey is it the second overtime is the third overtime because you know that moment where it just becomes like guys are just falling everywhere sliding everywhere it's not like nothing is crisp everything is just falling apart it's just you're hoping you get a lucky goal. I don't know how I can't I don't think

I've ever been part of a game that went to like three or four over times at that point everybody's so tired especially the guys who actually have to roll out there. I'll be quite frank if a game went into like second or third overtime and I was playing in the NHL guaranteed I wouldn't have the ice because there was like a slim chance I would hit it in the third period of a regular season game but yeah I would say at the point of about second overtime which happened in the Carolina Nashville series where Nashville who was getting drastically outshot ended up prevailing where like the team who's working hard and generating all these opportunities and getting stopped yeah at a certain point they're just like holy fuck yeah there's a there's a level of fatigue that probably

becomes a level of drunkenness. Yeah it's a point of it's like a great equalizer somewhere in that second overtime of playoff hockey where it's like it has nothing to do with skill anymore it's just someone's going to get a bounce and that will be the game. That's like a live bet thriller. Yeah it is but it's so much fun to watch like when you're you're like okay this game makes no no sense you're just if you're rooting for a team you're just praying that you get that bounce. Correct and the bounce was in the Nashville game was the fact that Bussin with the boys. Yep Taylor Luan. He was there. You knew his name you didn't need me to. Taylor Luan. And and he was crushing. Will Compton you didn't need his name either. I knew well fuck I talked to Will all the time. Nice. Stop. Stop. But

Taylor never. Well he's just more popular and I did kind of forget his name there off the hop I thought it was it. I thought it was like Tawon or something. Tawon's pretty good. He's got all the tats and stuff it's hard to figure out but anyway. Is there anything that like offensive linemen love more than just yugging beers in hockey games. And getting free tickets and shotgun just probably free beers too. They go to hockey games they become Dana beers. And yeah that's true. But anyway what were you saying about the no clue. That moment changed. That moment changed the whole game. Yeah when he got up it was pure domination by Carolina. He gets up yugs of beer front row center and then kisses his wife and the rest of history. How much do you miss seeing yourself on TV and having Ryan

Whitney be like more like Paul missed the net. Oh I don't miss those commercials at all guys. But you wrote that right. You wrote that line. We were there and we were struggling to find anything and we yeah we came up with that one which was sent to me I think via Twitter or something at one point. So I reused it now. Oh wow. Breaking news because which said that you wrote that. Well I technically did on set. Yeah. You technically wrote it on set. You read it on all your guys material you just think up off. Yeah. Never even never you guys never recycle fan. Billy Billy does that. That's what you're talking about. Where is that guy. Billy football. He's on his room. Springer. He's taking a break. Somebody said oh somebody tweeted at us fraternity leave for

Billy. I thought that was funny but I'm giving them credit not saying that I wrote it. You son of a but you should have kept your mouth shut about that because Whit had us believing that you were like the mastermind behind that whole that whole vodka commercial. I thought I thought on my feet. Are you trying to put me down. I don't want to wrestle. No I think I've already demonstrated. Two on one. Jake and Jake and Jake will fuck you up. He's our pit bull. You were talking about pit bull. You want a piece. Rough and rowdy. You want to sell some thoughts. You want to move some paper views. We should get back in the booth together. We could. We could. Maybe maybe TNT. Maybe they'll be calling for us. Jake. We should send him that tape. Yeah. Oh I have it. I did

have a serious hockey media question for you. Now that ESPN is going to have rights to hockey. They're probably going to talk about it more. It's going to be featured more on the air. I think that they're going to try to hire somebody because what they do at ESPN they'll be like we need to get our own version of Ryan Whitney, Paul Bissonette, and R.A. and Mike Rinelli. Shout out to Rolex. Who do you think they're going to hire and they'll be like this is our spit and chicklets. Well they already have a few people. I think they've got Ray Ferraro and they've got Boucher. Leah Hextal they just hired and I mean Butcher Gross is there. Plenty of people. So what do you mean? I'm just saying I think they're going to bring in somebody new. Somebody like

younger. You can't you can't you can't replicate that magic on spit and chicklets. You can't but they're going to you know they can't replicate R.A. and wit and biz being handled by Rinelli. Shout out to Rinelli by the way. You can't smoke the weed before you go on the broadcast. Rinelli being like you can't do any type of drug or drink alcohol before you hit the button. I actually genuinely appreciate the job that Mike Rinell does because I to book you on this I had to go through a booker. Yeah. Mike Rinell. Yeah. And then he was like what time I was kind of avoided all costs considering the the amount of alcohol I've consumed over the last four days. But I somehow somehow ended up here and I'm holding it together. Last question because I know you

want to you want to take a nap. Give us your Stanley Cup final and champion. The Flyers we already know that. As of right now you can pick anyone you can redo. This is your redo your PMT redo. It's hard because they reset after the infantings depends on who makes it right. So I would I would this we know how playoffs I would say Colorado. Shut the fuck up. Colorado and you just say who's going to win. Colorado and Tampa in the finals. Here we go. Wow. So if in fact they did win this afternoon and we still haven't gone full confirmation Tampa they did they won yesterday afternoon. So it's been more than 24 hours since they went up three one. So I would say Colorado Tampa and that would be good for hockey to to to Southern

markets in the United States. Colorado. Not deep. No they're deep South. You don't consider Colorado Southern Colorado is absolutely based on a North American scale. Colorado is considered no. No it's not it's not North or South. It's West. You know what fucking Colorado is part of the South now. No you wouldn't say North or South for Colorado. You say it's out West. Jake if I took a map of North America and I said Colorado would consider that more South than most of the market. We want I think it's around the middle of North America because in the middle of no he's saying in the middle of the country not North America. You're saying North America. But that includes all of Mexico to I think the Colorado. That's true. Yeah. Fuck Mexico. Mexico's

actually doesn't go all the way to Mexico's in North America. Yes. Yes. OK. Well then forget what I said Central America starts Belize. Yes. So Panama is Panama Central America. Panama is so Guatemala is Guatemala also Central America. All right. That's the best thing about these podcasts. I think half of your viewers probably are listeners probably didn't realize that Mexico was a part of North America. Yeah. But in no way would you call Colorado. I guess if you know I'm with business like I think we should start referring I guess they are like the most skiing destination in America. But we're still going to consider them part of the South. Well and also if you're going to if you're talking from someone like from Calgary Colorado's the South as it gets.

Yeah. So there it is. I meant all the teams in play. They're one of the Southern teams. I saw my brain. I don't. I think what are the are the coyotes of Southern. Yes. But they're a West team. Yeah. West. Southwest is the West is like L.A. That's West. That's West. Yeah. But it's Southern. I would consider it a Southern team as well. OK. So what about I would say I like how you I like how you interpret a map. Anything south of the Canadian border is Southern. Southern is the Southern team. Patrick Watrade that probably gave you your first real life example as to where Colorado is. And you just knew that your goalie was going to a team that was further south than the Canadians. Yeah. And you're like that's the SEC. Oh I do have one last question. So you

gave us your your final. Are you would you feel any pride or are you rooting in any way for the Canadian teams because it has been so long. Like do you. I know you you're you know you're a journalist. You have a podcast that covers the entire league. You also work for an organization. Not a big deal. But if like push came to shove would you prefer a Canadian team as a Canadian to win. I would like to see the Leafs win it but it would suck this year if they did with not fans in the building. Yeah. Because right now in Canada there's currently no fans. Yeah. Which is fucking crazy because you got Montreal Montreal Canadians versus Toronto Maple Leafs. Not one fan gets to see it in attendance. They said there was rumor that later in the series that maybe Montreal was going to

start having fans. But even if it's like 1500 people it still ain't the same. Yeah. Are they going to keep these divisions. That would be fucking cool. So so what I'm hearing is is if potentially if Toronto ends up advancing to the conference final they might use Arizona as like a hub city. So let's just say let's say it happens Colorado Toronto. Well Colorado is going to play at a Colorado but where would Toronto because they can't keep going past the border. Right. There's like a 70 and unless at that point they allow it but they would make a place like a Phoenix their hub city. Well that would fuck up Colorado because then they would be a northern team. Yeah. And Toronto Toronto would be a southern. I mean let's say I mean you go this thing up if you're going to Arizona you got that's

just changes the entire dynamic of what you're playing a southern team from the north. If you're Colorado and and Austin Matthews the connection to there and in Scottsdale Sash Phoenix would be cool. Oh yeah. What's the connection. Well he was born there. Oh I was raised there anyway. There was another thing that happened there. Oh stop it. Oh stop. I thought that's what you were saying. I am sorry. My last last question. When are you going to get your haircut again. I don't know. I actually like it. It distracts from your nose. Is it. You completely checked out. Well you've checked out 25 minutes ago. Does your lady like the hair. She likes it. I might get some cone rolls. You look like the dude who showed up at the start of old schools like I hear for the gang bang. That's you.

That's at the start of the movie. Have you been in a gang bang. I know the answer. All right. Have you been involved in group sex BFT. What do you define as group sex. My left hand and my right hand. What about you big cat. You and Patrick Sharp. On the on the bang bus. Yes. We go find the mill hunter. All right. Thanks. It's very insightful. Jake. Have you ever been involved in the group sex. If this called you up Jake. Hey Jake. I got some group sex for us. Two on one. No back checkers. And we get to be the host of a NHL game on. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Would you sacrifice for the more better in the booth. So what if you knew your performance was going to be played to the masses. What if it had to go on on the on the pardon my take social accounts. Your group sex goes to the masses

but you have Al Michael's career. I should say Marv Albert. You basically have Marv Albert's career because I wouldn't do that. Al Michael's career is very appealing. What if you had a French dip Lisa and Al Michael's career. Would you do it. I don't know. Also. It's tough. It's tough. Yeah. He's right. It would it would like jail you guys as like broadcast parts forever. You can't get closer with a guy than doing that. Yeah. It's true. That would be that would actually be a little group sex. Yeah a little group sex action. I could just. Hey which one which some multiple partners. Which tunnel would you take. Jake. I'll let you pick. The ladies choice. The ladies choice. What a gentleman. Yeah. What a gentleman. All right this. Good talk. Thank you guys. Yeah. I'm sorry I didn't have much hockey. No you fucking crushed

your live streams. Your brain is going to live streams to interview a lot of group sex. Some may say the guy worked this week. Wait for live streams and how many days. Five days. Five days and two interviews. Two interviews. Wow. Coworkin junior. It's a job. Paul Bisson that was brought to you by our friends over at free fly. Brands in his clothing all the time. There aren't too many that I can actually say that I love enough to wear on a consistent basis. But there is one brand that's so comfortable it's become one of my go to's for the last couple years. They make performance clothing using buttery soft bamboo and it feels like clouds. It is the perfect fabric to make clothes out of. I don't know why no other company makes their fabrics out of bamboo but for some reason bamboo is the

softest thing that I've ever put on. I tried one of the sweatshirts the other day. Incredible. My body just melted into it. It's amazing whether you're outside for hitting the gym if you're lounging around around the house. This stuff is it feels like you're wearing a pillow all over your body. It feels like you're in bedsheets just walking around. It's super super comfortable and it's got UPF sun protection built into it since it's bamboo clothing. It wicks away moisture. It won't hold odor and it's super comfortable and you can get 20% off when you visit free fly apparel dot com slash take again that's free free fly apparel dot com slash take. All right. Let's wrap up by the way this clip is so fucking sick of Phil team off the 18th. This is this is what we missed.

Dude's going nuts. Everyone following them 16 years since the last time he won a major. I'm going to go hold this sausage pizza underneath. Wait wait before you do that let's do the let's do the Monday reading real quick. Okay. All right. It's titled sportsmanship not disrespect the real story of what happened after playing table tennis with Hank. Okay. Who's it written by anonymous. You've all seen the clip by now. So I'm not sure how much of a backstory is needed. Oh I think we need a backstory. It was another thrilling three set match against Hank inside stool stream stadium. He was on the winning end of a marathon's first set taking a 25 23 I settled in as the match went on evening the series after a 21 9 second set victory. And then came the third set when I was fortunate enough to take

that one in the series after a 21 14 win. But everyone is talking about a post game handshake when I went up to Hank and shook his hand after the final point. I walked away after turned around and saw that Hank was still down on the ground. So I decided to go back and attempt to help him up. I got in the position to do that. Excuse me. And can I finish. I got in the position to do that. He rejected my offer. And when I walked away with a position I put myself in it did look identical to the Allen Iverson. Nice. Nice pointing it out. Nice pointing it out there Jake. I'm here to tell you that this was absolutely not the intention here. Could I have stayed to the side and offered my arm out. Sure. But that's not what happened. And I get the hoop low over the position. I pride myself

on being a positive person and having sportsmanship every time I compete. And that is what I was trying to do here. I'm sorry that Hank has to be on the other side of this as well. Because as I mentioned before that was not what I was going for. I was genuinely trying to help him up. That's it. More importantly for the second consecutive week we had a $500 Progressive jackpot winner. Congratulations to Steve Colb for catching in and going perfect on his pitch. And that's a deep drive to left field. That's the important part of this. I like how you brought up the Allen Iverson thing. I love that. Well I'm not going to beat around the bush. It did look like it. I think you should also just remind people that you were merely positioning your hips in the most powerful

stance possible so you could lift them up off the ground. Right. I was trying to help him up. You had squared your hips to his chin. I had no problem with anything Jake. Well no I do have some problems but my issue is entirely with like babyface Jake pretending like it was sportsmanship and he was trying to. It was no no no no no no no. Hank no Hank let me read this. He's a psychopath. There was a video that came out after the fact of him practicing. No one on the other side. You scheduled me a match to play beforehand. So he was he's just you're a psychopath Jake. You did what you did on purpose. Nope. You're you're it's all right. If I had no problem with that as a competitor myself I know that's how it is but I don't pretend to be a man in the arena nerdy Jake Marsh when

in reality I'm a psychopath. I am not pretending. Not pretending. Fucking love it. You can take my word. All right before we wake up is to end the show for his number. I had another kid. Grats on the sex. Thank you. It was awesome. Much recommended. If you ever have a chance to have a child or to get a how. How can how do you do that. We already covered that. Yeah. We covered that. No but it's the only thing that sucks and I was talking to Hank about this when I got in the office today is that it's also my who's back of the week should have been people gatekeeping my life being like there's nothing worse than I'll tweet about a Cubs game and they'll be like bro spend time with your family. Like listen guys I got it set up. I spend a lot of time with my family. I love greens

by the way. I love being a dad. It truly is better than anything else. It's fucking awesome. It was the coolest thing ever. Having my son meet my daughter. He did like two minutes after he met her go and get her a dog toy being like here this is this is it. So I think he just thought like he was going to have another Stella. That's honestly that's honestly like the nicest thing ever though because in his brain he thinks that the coolest thing that you can do for a friend his best friend is probably Stella. Yeah. One of them is to get one of their favorite toys. Yes. In his brain he was actually like this is good putting a crown on her and he was very sweet and he was happy and then like five minutes later he tried to poker in the eye I told her he couldn't do that and then

he was like really mad at me. But yeah it was cool. Everyone's healthy mom and baby girl are healthy. How are you. I'm I'm great. Very little sleep but I'm great. I appreciate though everyone's congrats and it was trending on Friday. It really does mean a lot. I know I don't talk a lot about my private life but when I do open it up it's always nice that people are nice. So I really do appreciate that. And also shout out the one Stooley who stopped me on the street on Saturday. I was with my son and he asked for a picture. He looked like a better taller better looking taller version of Billy football. He asked me for a picture. So I was like yeah sure. And he went to grab his phone and he pulled out his phone and out popped a magnum condom. So I was like well

that's cool dude. I was like yeah your life is way different than mine. That guy's the best. He's like oh I didn't mean to do that. Also I thought it was very how are you dude. It was very selfless timing on your part. Yes because Hank was trending on Twitter. Yes. People discussing the the step over her around the world and you immediately yes took that out of the equation. Yes. Like that's that's teamwork as a podcast goes. So in the I know some people were asking like will there be a life part to it for so tight is funny enough. We actually had it planned to tape on Friday at one o'clock. My my my daughter decided to show up on Friday morning. So we're going to wait. We're going to hold off till we're all together possibly later this summer because it

will be better together. We're going to do it over Zoom which would have sucked. So we'll do that guaranteed whether it comes a year from now six months two months. We will do that podcast. But seriously it was an awesome weekend for my family and I appreciate everyone's kind words and yeah being a dad is the best and my son also just broke the picking up the rocks and handing them to me like their pieces of gold record on Sunday morning at the park.
