Welcome to part of my take presented by visible.com slash pod. Check it out now for single line wireless for as low as $25 a month. Wednesday is Wednesday, May 11th and I don't even know where we want to start the Sixers are dead again.

Yeah. Sixers are still dead. Here's a fun stat. I looked this one up because I got sick of hearing people say that 70% of the time the team that wins game five in an NBA series wins the series. Well that's true. We like to get like like elbow deep in the numbers on part of my take and if you look at it that that is a correct stat, but the more important stat is 83% of the time that

a series is tied two to two that winner of game five goes on to win the series and honestly like I would bet that both of these teams that won tonight are probably going to win game six. Yeah. Yeah. It feels like I mean, I could see the Sixers maybe rallying at home, but the Suns and we're I think they're down at half or maybe it was one point game at half. Then they just went nuclear on the Mavs in the third quarter, 33 to 14.

I thought we were going to get a Chris Paul narrative because he wasn't dominant Chris Paul and we're going to be able to dunk on everyone. We're going to have to wait for that. But yeah, I agree with you. Like it feels like the Sixers and both the Mavs got pushed around a little bit, beaten a wamping, a mini wamping inside of a game and game six is going to be tough for them to rebound. Yeah.

Both of these teams that won tonight, if the heat and the Suns win their game six, convincingly, I'll call that a gentleman's wamp. I think like the series, like, yes, the other teams have won a couple of games, but never once I feel like the Sixers or the Mavericks like had the ability to win the series, obviously with the Sixers is for different reasons, mostly injury related, but we still can stick with the Chris Paul thing because if you look at the way he played tonight, here's what we can do. We can say that's not going to cut the next round.

Yes. I like that. Yeah. Cause I mean, we're, there's six minutes left in the game. If four points, nine assists, which is obviously very good, but that's not going to cut it. Not going to cut it. Listen, you're going to play a big boy team in the next round. Okay.

And this performance, it's not going to cut it. It wasn't the best night of NBA basketball when the most exciting thing was Chuck and Kenny going to the video board, which I don't know which team you guys are on. LeBron said Chuck won, then skip went over the top, which was great skip. Skip Bayless. He was like, LeBron, you're wrong. Kenny won. Like disagree.

Skip is so committed to it. He disagrees with LeBron's take of who won. Wait, wait a second. So he were, he responded to LeBron and LeBron, yeah, exactly. So he, so he sub tweeted him. Now that's interesting because I think that skip Bayless may have just given himself up there. I just realized this.

Yeah. Bayless doesn't follow anyone on Twitter. Yeah. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no. People on Twitter. No, he's got burners. No, no, no, no, no. This is proof skip Bayless has burners.

Bad news. They showed LeBron's tweet on the TNT show. Fuck. I thought I was cracking open. I know. I wanted to be right. Like I realized it and I was like, I've got a mission now for the next like three weeks, which would be to find skip Bayless's burners and see what the takes that he puts out on

the burner. The ones that like he doesn't think are ready for prime time yet, the ones that he's testing out. I still think he might have burners. I still think he might. I just didn't want, I wanted you to be right, but I also don't want you to get dunked on for being wrong in this respect that they did, they showed LeBron's tweet on the Jumbotron chuckled about it, blah, blah, blah, which is what LeBron wanted in the first place.

So I listen LeBron's tweets were better than the games tonight. So people are like, Hey, all you do is mention LeBron. Sorry. LeBron won the MVP. LeBron won my baby Bron of tonight. He won my sixth man of the night tonight is the guys here's, here's how it goes. It goes the guys that are on the desk at TNT, then skip Bayless, then LeBron six man. Yeah.

Yeah. Like what do you want us to do? You want us to break down two blowouts? I think, I think Kenny still kind of had him. Actually, I think it was almost, it was actually a tie. I'm going to say that I really do think it was a tie. Yeah. I mean, that even is worse that the most exciting part of the night was a tie video board.

The only other thing I was thinking when I was watching this son's game is I think Aten might be the one guy in the league right now where he can, when I watch him play, I'm like, why is he always just play like this? Yeah. It feels like he should be able to dominate any game that he's in. So he's, he's a looks incredible or looks like he's never touched a basketball type of guy. Like some games he'll shoot and you'd be like, what was that?

Like he'll miss the rim and the backboard. I think in honor of tonight's just, just awful games, we should, we should award the second weekly Billy football game ball of the night. Yes. Somebody who probably didn't watch it. Actually, how about Billy, you and Jake award a co-game ball and if you guys both select the same person on the count of three, then that person wins it. And if they don't, then the, nobody wins the game ball.

Okay. And hockey wins, hockey wins the game ball for the night. I like this. By the way, just before they, you guys think about it, I've lost my voice again. I said I wasn't going to lose my voice for a month. It actually gets better as the show goes on because we go back in time. This one, I can't explain. I just haven't been sleeping.

It wasn't yelling. I've literally slept like four hours every night for last five nights, but I'm going to sleep tonight. So I apologize to everyone. You guys ready? Is it basketball only? No. Just who won the, won the night.

I'm just going to say, I, I feel like Billy, that's my kind of hint. I'm not going to spoil it, but I think we can say the same person. Oh, I know. Can I say it? Yeah. Let's go. Three, two, one. Aaron judge.

Aaron judge. Yes. He's pretty much like eight in size. Yeah. He, what did he even do? I didn't even see. Did a walk off through on home. I mean, I, it was, it was kind of a sec.

He, it was a fucking Liam likes moon shots. I obviously hate the Yankees, but. Second deck. It was a long shot. Did, did Sterling realize that it was a home run? Yeah. So if you saw my tweet, he didn't do anything incorrect, but he was unusually not excited about it.

Oh. I think I should put on the break. He's very cautious. Yeah. But hey, he didn't mess up. That's what we're going to focus on. Oh, the other, the other NBA game ball the night you should go to the rat that showed up at the Nets mats game because it got it allowed everybody on Twitter to make the same

joke at the same time, depending on what party you voted for in DC. So some people are a rat on the field. I didn't know that Biden was there and then other people like a rat on the field. I didn't know that McConnell was there. It was great. It was just seeing the, seeing the timeline all sync up like that to make the exact same joke. Just based on the preferences.

That's what Twitter was made for. That's why Al Gore invented the internet. Yeah. Some, some good old political humor, bringing everyone back together. Um, I did a bad job of start, uh, Jake, do you want to talk about your heat at all? Except that was, I think the definition of heat culture, by the way, seven guys, seven guys, double digits, seven guys, double digits, Jimmy Butler has shown up and pretty much every single playoff game, this, this post season so far, like obviously the two games

in Philly were not ideal, but he still played well. Um, remember that iconic bubble photo of him just looking gas like I've seen heat Twitter people just posting that after every game because that's what he's been doing for this team. And one other guy show up. And like I said, uh, last show, uh, weird stat about them, them not hitting threes. They started to fall tonight. And it was what I tell you, Jake, maker, miss league,

talking Robinson, one of three, four points. But hey, that's one of three, four points more than he's had this whole post season. They gave him a shot. That's a fact. Make or miss the league. So I reeled a ball the night. Oh, okay. Sure.

Plot twist. Seth Jarvis had an amazing dominating performance, uh, because the Bruins blew him out. Um, and now Carolina is the series three to two. Oh shit. Jarvis. Yeah. Well, he, he's the guy who just put a couple of smackeroos on those Bruins.

What, what positions he play? He's a center. Billy texted the group and he's like, I'm going to maybe go to this chick. Let's stream. I'm going to try to get more into hockey. Like what? I like that. No, it's like if you're getting a girl and she knows that sports is a big part

of your life and maybe she didn't grow up as sports fan. She's like, let's watch sports in her together. And then she's basically, ooh, ooh. Yeah. It's basically a preview, uh, great interview with Ryan Whitney. Billy got embarrassed at the end of the interview. So he's like, I'm going to fix this. I'm going to start watching hockey.

So next time biz or Whitney comes in, I have a question for them. He's taking steps to self-improvement. I appreciate that. Oh, oh, the one other thing that I had from tonight's game, the ref that stares into the camera on the replay reviews. Can we get literally any other ref on the court to be in charge of looking at the camera and announcing that he just creeps me out. He creeps me the fuck out.

Like just don't, don't stare directly into the camera. Cause I always feel like he's about to be activated and by crypto. Like his eyes are going to turn bright red or go into like demon time. Yeah. It's also the weirdest angle. It's the weirdest angle. Like it's cause it's below them and that's just a bad angle to begin with. I agree.

It creeps me out. And he like turns his body to the side, but he keeps staring. Like it's like he's doing blue steel turning away. But that should be the next demon time or one of the next demon times. It should be, it should be that ref as he's announcing it. Like a flagrant too. Yeah. Yeah.

Like the ref, um, kicking someone out of the game. Yeah. Like I, when they kick Draymond out and he announces it and the crowd goes crazy. I'll put a word in. All right. Beautiful, beautiful. Um, Hank, anything about your Bruins? Uh, no, I watched nights and they got smoked.

Okay. Nice. And then like I was, I was all jazzed up, like ready to go. I was believing in, in, in awesome Bruin culture and there was nowhere to be found. Yeah. And then the Leafs are, are back, which means that's where they're perfectly set up to lose. And, uh, I mean, we might have to game of the year, the lightning and game six.

To reverse jinx it. Well, no, if this street continues where they haven't lost back to back games, like, right? Yeah. But I was thinking that you gain, you game of the century. It that, that reverse jinx is it. And then the Leafs win. Yeah, maybe we got to figure that out.

But, um, I'm down. Uh, anything else we have? I just, I just think I feel bad for Leafs fans, even though they won tonight, because we've gotten a taste of what it's like to root for the Maple Leafs in the last week of the playoffs. And it can't be easy. It's one of those things like it is your family ever been like, you know, you're growing up, oh, try this, you'll like it.

I promise. And then you take it, take a bite. You're like, you know what, just not for me being like a Leafs fan. I can tell instantly, like why, why does anybody in Toronto do this to themselves? You can just not it's even though they won again, it was an electric game, electric third period. But this is just something like that's a hard opt out for me. The, what I've learned about Leafs fans being come so far since 2018, PFT.

What do you mean? What before the caps one? That's true. But, but when the caps would lose, they would lose like in, in just dominant fact, they would get dominated. They would get shit pumped right big games after having all the expectations. They wouldn't like drop a three to one series. They wouldn't be in control of the series.

It would just be frustrated and you'd hang on to the very end. And then the penguins would come onto your home ice and beat you like seven nothing. The Leafs fans are as I count myself as one these last week, this last week and a half with my futures. But the Leafs fans, I've noticed it's this very, it's this bipolar-esque confidence and fear of doom at all times that can't be good for your emotions. Like when they were down two O tonight, it was just like, this is same old Leafs, we suck, we suck, we suck.

Then they, they got the lead three, two and it's like, we're back. And then they, like, it's just a constant. Like, I, like, I think the Leafs are good, but I also expect the worst to happen at all times. It's very bizarre because most teams, it's either you expect the worst to happen or you have that confidence, not both at the exact same time. So I feel like with the Leafs, they don't really expect the worst to happen in the moment, but after the fact, they're like, Oh my God, I can't believe we did this again.

It's almost like, if you were to ask a Leafs fan in the off season, what's going to happen, they'll probably say that they'll probably say like, I think we got a great team, but you know, it's the Leafs. But in the moment, in the middle of a playoff series, it seems to me like they're very optimistic, like in the games, like this is the team, this is the team. And then they always get surprised by it. They, they always get Lucy pulling the football and Charlie Brown. Yeah, it's, it's a wild time.

And we're going to talk more about that with Ryan Whitney. So we got coming up, we got Celtics bucks, we've got Warriors. We got more hockey talk Hank getting tweeted by Tom Brady, Ryan Whitney, FAQs. Let's kick it to ourselves back in the studio. PFC, do you have something going on tonight? Oh yeah, Bubba, thank you. The ghost of Manhattan is taking to the skies tonight. I'll announce it right here.

I've got a very important mission. I was doing this on Twitch the last couple of weeks. I hunted Putin last week on my flight simulator. Tonight, Wednesday night, I'm going after Coney. I'm taking Coney out recruiting trip. We've got Coney. Well, he's got his child soldiers. My mission is going to be to try to kill Coney while killing as few

of his infant soldiers as possible. And then if all goes well, I will then take them over like Daenerys Targaryen and they will become my army of child soldiers. Well, good luck. We're rooting for you. After the Caps game. Yeah, on Twitch. OK, kick it to ourselves back in the studio.

And unfortunately for the Bucks, the bear actually was Al Horford. So everyone thought, like, don't wake up Yanis, he'll go nuclear. Turns out that Yanis poked Al Horford. We saw the clip. Al Horford's sister actually tweeted it being like, that's when I knew the Bucks were fucked. Al Horford just doing the head nod like, yep, yep, you'll see. And we get Al Horford with his greatest playoff performance ever.

30 points. Absolutely dominating. Doing it at all, too. Threes, dunks, defense, yeah, defense, like post moves. And now we got a 2-2 series, a great series, by the way. Just a great, great series. Unbelievable game. Seemed like one that they were going to lose, one that was slipping away. Jalen and Jason weren't playing, you know, they're they're a game.

And thank God I was playing his his a game and put the team on his back. Like he was taking big shots. He was making big shots. He was the go-to guy and he just had an unbelievable performance. He'd fucking punched, punched Yanis in the face with his elbow. That was incredible. Jason Tatum didn't have a great game, but he also had one of the coolest shots ever where he was like

maybe six inches off the ground, completely vertical or horizontal and did like a finger roll from from seriously like one foot off the ground. Yeah, but that was that was a hell of an answer by the Celtics. And now we got a three game series, baby. Home court back on. Yeah, there you go. Jason Tatum had like he he had a very weird game. He was like really good in spurts and then really confusing in other spurts.

It was like all over the map. Passive, yeah. He ended up having like a statistically great game if you just look at the numbers. But if you every time I looked over and watched him play, I could the numbers kept going up. But I was like, I don't recall him ever ever dominating or ever being like a total scoring threat.

I think it's one of those things where he probably feels a lot of pressure to be the guy. And then when Al Horford became the guy, that helped like relax Jason Tatum. And he just knew that he had to get some possessions and score a couple of points. But like Al Horford taking that role last night was huge. And that was the reason they want that was that was probably

the quietest 30 points that I've ever seen. Yeah, no, you're you're absolutely right, PFT, because it was not if you look at his stats, you're like, oh, you had a good game. But if you're watching the game, there were moments in the game where you're like, why is Jason Tatum not forcing it here? Why is he not like he's the best player the Celtics have? Why is he not taking over?

And Al Horford did. And you're right, it kind of unlocked Jason Tatum. Maybe that's maybe Al Horford's the alpha. Al Horford, he's Batman. Jason Tatum's Robin, Jalen Brown, the Joker. Yeah, I don't know. Like, because they can play. What does it put?

Fast Pace P. What is his name, nickname? Fast P.P. Fast P.P. Alford's Catwoman. Yeah, and shoot on the road. Who who's who's like the most dominant old looking guy in the NBA right now? Because Al Horford in that performance last night, he's definitely up there.

I was going to say Alex Caruso. Alex Caruso. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he looks kind of old. PJ Tucker is a really old looking guy. Every time I see PJ Tucker play, I'm like, this dude, if an old dude comes out there wearing like a T-shirt underneath his jersey, you know, he's just out there to foul the fuck out. Yeah, yeah.

The I was going to say, it was crazy that Al Horford's only 35. For some reason, because those those Florida Gator teams were so long ago. Joe Keems, you know, retired Corey Brewer. I don't even know when he retired as a long time ago. But Al Horford is, you know, out there dominating. It was crazy to see Philly almost ruined his career. Well, like Philly fans, they did. They still hate that contract because they're like,

didn't they pay Al Horford instead of Jimmy Butler? Yeah, it was something like that. Whereas like a combination. Yes. Yes. Yes. So they went, he got benched by Oklahoma City basically for playing too well when they were trying to rebuild and people thought that he was getting benched because he was bad, but it was more like we don't want to win games. We don't want you to try hard.

Like we're just going to put you on the bench and let the young guys play. But yeah, he's he's back in the best way possible. Yep. So series on series on seven games still. I got six. Actually, no, seven. Do you in your hot seat cools run? Do you have anything that was tweeted at you last night? You want to talk about it now? We can talk about it now because I didn't really watch the first half at all.

Like I was on. I was in the mind of Hank last night. If you missed it, Edelman and Tom Brady both tweeted in support of Hank, which was what we didn't really talk about on the show. Obviously, there's a lot of drama going on with my ex-girlfriend dating someone else in the office. You know, it's not I I've known about it for a while. Like I'm not as upset about it as a lot of people on the internet were. And where it was like trending. There was everyone tweeting about it, talking about it all day yesterday.

You guys have my back, which I appreciate. A lot of people reached out to show their support, which I appreciate, but not in a way that's like, I need, you know, I need the support. Like I'm down bad. I was fine. But it's cool to see how loved you are. It is. It is. Like that's where it's like, you know, I don't I'm happy it happened kind of because it's like, yeah, you get, you know, the people that you care about

showing their support for you. And then on top of it, if it was like a trade machine where it's like, you know, on one side, you have to deal with your ex-girlfriend for four years, dating Marty Mush, but on the flip side, you get Julian Edelman and your hero showing you unconditional support and love. Like I'm clicking trade every time. So it was it was like, there was a lot of people talking about it. It was like team Hank was the thing that was on Twitter.

Julian Edelman tweeted team Hank. And then like five minutes later, Tom Brady tweeted cosine hashtag defend the wall, which was a reference to getting arrested form. And yeah, I was like, I couldn't I was truly like floating. Like I my heart was beating like out of my chest. I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't watch a second of the Celtics first half. Like I was just like on a different planet. Just, you know, the emotions took over me.

It was it was somehow in a situation that wasn't ideal that I didn't really want to happen. Like it ended up being one of the greatest nights of my life. I have to assume that that all is forgiven with Tom Brady. Now with the like four days, like is he going to acknowledge Boston sports fans? He's essentially your biggest fan. Yeah. The question is like, is there are you a bigger fan of Tom Brady or is Tom Brady a bigger fan of Hank Lockwood?

I don't know. I think the moral of this whole situation is like loyalty. And and we we stuck by Tom when he was in a tough spot and he's paying it back by sticking by me when I'm in a tough spot. And that, you know, same with you guys and all the support you show me, like loyalty is is an important thing and it means the world. It is the thing. Yeah. I just told Bubba before he came in here, I would I would take a bullet for you. Yeah, I would get shot for you, not in my head or my chest,

but like almost in the other body part. No, I mean, it's either leg feet, not to get sappy, but like loyalty to your to the people you're closest with means everything to me. And so showing it and getting it shown back is it's everything. I also think it was it was just so one of those things where it's like, we're in a simulation. This is so preposterous. This is so funny where it's like that was kind of my it was just a good kind of like bow on the whole thing where it's like, yeah, yeah, it's dramatic.

Yeah, people are interested, but it's like, it's not that serious. Like we can kind of joke about it and like just kind of move on. Like, I think there's obviously when when things get heightened to this level, like the psychos come out and like people just start, you know, taking it over the line. And it's like, from my perspective, it's like, like I said, if you could have told me this, even when we were dating, that this was a possibility. Like I might have, I might have, I might have, yeah, no, seriously.

I think like that it would have like, you know, four years is four years. But like Tom Brady has been my hero for 20 years. Like I have better, I have better memories, better, you know, more love. Like it's just one of those things where it's like we're all about, yeah, we're all about perspective on the podcast this week. Yes, I like that. It was, it was an incredible moment. Yeah, you are very, very much loved.

And now Tom Brady, kid, did you hit him up for maybe some of that sweet money he's getting? Because what was the final tally for 10 years? Three hundred seventy five million dollars, according to the New York Post. He deserves it all. He deserves the work. I mean, how much of that? Like you kind of your brand boosted him up. They're like, wow, Tom Brady.

OK, we were going to give him like nine years and three hundred fifty million. Let's tack that 10th on there. He's team Hank. He it is it is crazy that Fox is like, hey, whenever he's ready. But it it also is the it's the only move they had. It was that or Peyton Manning. Like Fox loses Joe Buck and Trey Akeman. Tom Brady is the guy.

I think he's going to be great. How funny how funny would it be if he sucked, though, if he went up there and he was just like stumbling over his words going to be great. Oh, of course he is. Yeah. I was thinking about what if he was a Jason Witton, but then I remember that Tom Brady is such a competitive psycho. That he will, like, just spend all his time studying. You can do tapes.

Yeah. No, he's going to. I'm sure he'll be very, very good because there's no way that Tom Brady wants to go in the booth and have everyone clown his ass. I think that that Peyton Manning as an individual is going to be better than Tom Brady, but Tom Brady is going to have a much better staff around him. And so on a whole, his broadcast will be much, much better known as a dynasty. Well, Peyton's also his broadcast is not as difficult. Yeah, because it's not.

It's a it's a side view that you can you can tune into that doesn't have to like you don't have to carry a blowout the same way. I I hope that the Manning cast goes off ESPN and they actually go to Fox so that people can opt in like choose. We can get that debate going like continue it for the next 10 years. Yes. Peyton or Tom. Yes. Yes. The other NBA game.

We'll talk about hockey in a second. The other NBA game. I don't know about you guys, but I watched the first half. The Warriors looked terrible. It was very funny that Steph hit his 500th playoff three in a half where they I think they made like two out of like 20 or something, something crazy. And I was like, you know what, I'm going to go to sleep. I'm going to try to get some rest because I know that the Warriors

like crazy run is going to happen. Eventually it's just I don't really want to wait up for it. I waited up actually all the way through, like halfway through the third quarter still hadn't come, went to sleep, woke up, looked at the score. I was like, yep, that's exactly what I expected. They won the game at the very, very end. Yeah, it was like the last 10 minutes of the game. That's when the Warriors became the Warriors and scored 39 points in the fourth

quarter and Mike Brown had to fill in for Steve Kerr, who is out in health and safety protocols. If I'm Mike Brown, I would become like the first coach ever to hold out in training camp as a head coach next year for the Kings to ask for a raise. Yeah, like you've proven you probably deserve more money than the Kings are throwing at you right now. Want to know in the playoffs. He's won.

He's won more playoff games than the Kings this year. I'm saying he's won more playoff games than this year as a head coach than the Kings have won in like a decade. Probably since like 2008 would be my guess for that stat. But yeah, the Warriors just, I don't think that they can shoot any worse than they did for the most part last night. Dude, they're just, well, also John Morant was out. Well, yeah, that's a big deal.

Yeah, but I, so I have a Warriors future. I'm rooting for them. I'm very nervous because Clay Thompson, like he can have a couple of games where he looks kind of like old Clay and then he has games where it's like, is this guy played basketball before both offensive and defensively? I obviously it's injury and coming back, but there were a couple of moments where I was like, whoa, Clay, Clay just keeps missing. And he's done it a few times in these playoffs where it's like,

he just keeps missing shots that old Clay Thompson never missed. You know the stat that we were talking about a couple of years ago with James Harden and how he demonstrably plays worse in cities that have high strip club populations? Yeah, I wonder if that's the same thing for Clay Thompson and places that have dispensaries like our states that have legal marijuana. Yes. Yes. That's probably true. I would imagine.

But that series feels like it's over, especially without John Morant, which sucks because he was playing so well. I think he was averaging 38 points a game all time. You guys weren't one. They were all time bad shot at the end of the game by Jaren Jackson, Jr. Like they was great defense. He but they couldn't. They didn't have to shoot it.

He had three people around him and there was like 17 seconds left. It was it was a clear sign of like your star player that usually takes games at the end of takes shots at the end of games is not not there. I think it was like Jaren Jackson was so pumped up because he's like, this is the Jaren Jackson game where I get to be myself. I get to show what I can do at the end of the game. And so he like he had a rush of blood to the head and he's not used to closing out games in that situation.

So he's like, you know what, I've kind of been on fire in terms of, you know, like on a scale of how good Jaren Jackson can be. I'm the most good that I've ever been in a game. So let's just go for it. Let's just put it up because everything's going in. And more than that, he was probably just pumped to be in the game and not fouled out at that point because he's he's been a he actually hasn't done it in this Warriors series.

But remember the Timberwolves series? Yeah, he was just fouling out in like 20 minutes every night. Also, I love what Dreymon's doing with this podcast where he goes into the locker room. He essentially records in the building. I think he might actually be in the building before the game's over. So you get the emotional Dreymon. You get like like 50 percent of on the court Dreymon, whereas like most players, if they do a podcast, I don't know,

I haven't listened to too much of Duncan Robinson's recently, but he's probably not like flipping out about people right after the game and like screaming about like what just happened in the game. Dreymon still has that emotion in him when he records, which is like that's actually like when we do a podcast right after Big Cat suffers a horrible, horrible loss. Yeah, you can hear it. And you can hear it in the voice. And like I love hearing Dreymon like I don't want to hear like analytical Dreymon.

I want to hear Dreymon like trying to get into fights on his podcast. It's raw. It's really like a press conference on steroids. Correct. It's a press conference where he gets asked himself the question. Now, is it bad for journalism, though, that Dreymon saving the real stuff, keeping it from the print and like the hardworking reporters who are in deadline aren't getting the real stuff and he's saving it for his own podcast. It's worth considering. Maybe that's the future that every could be every locker room afterwards.

Instead of having to meet the press, you literally just have to go live on Periscope for 10 minutes and answer questions in the chat. Yeah, that would be cool. I like that. Next thing you know, we got Steph Curry answering like tits or ass or like in and out of five guys. Jake, I'm just curious from your perspective as a as a play by play guy, Tom Brady coming into the booth.

Is that going to be intimidating for the play by play guys? That's kind of a bird cart. Yes, filling filling the shoes of Joe Buck. Do you like him? Yeah, he's great. Oh, no way. I walk right into that one. They'll definitely do a bunch of practice broadcasts. And by the time week one of whatever two season, three seasons, it's going to felt like they've been together forever.

Yeah, I want to know what simulated games are going to do. They got to pick some crazy ones. Yeah, throw everything at him. Full YouTube games is what I used to do in college. Kevin Burkhart. I mean, Tom Brady is such a psycho competitor. I wouldn't be shocked if he's like, Kevin Burkhart, you have to live in my house for a month.

Yeah, like you have to you have to do everything with him. Put your hands on your brown. Yeah, yeah, I got to get I got to get Alex Guerrero's hands on you. It's so cool for you. You know what I really want to hear? Actually, they should. Here's what Fox should do if they're smart. They should record all the simulated games that they're doing and have Tom

Brady call a game where Tom Brady is playing in it. They should do the NFC. It was at the NFC championship game with the one against the Rams. The divisional game against the Rams and playoffs and have Tom Brady analyze Tom Brady or do the Thursday night football against the Bears, where he didn't realize it wasn't it was fourth down. That would be smart seeing him like explain what was happening. And then drop that as like either a teaser where you could watch

like the week before the regular season started just to get yourself in like football is back mode or just put pay per view. Well, that's a good point, but because there's going to come a time where he has to criticize a friend. Yeah, so he should do. So Tom Brady, we know you're listening. What up, Jules? We know you're listening to. Dude, just do a little teaser.

Love you, Jules, on Twitter, where you're basically announcing that moment and be like, this fucking idiot doesn't realize it's not fourth down anymore. You got to be better than that. Yeah. Yeah. OK, yeah, I like this. All right, hockey. We're going to get into a lot of hockey with Ryan Whitney,

but the tit bet is officially on. Yeah, emotions are still raw right now. You'll hear it a little bit with me and Whit. I told Whit we met up after we did the podcast. I was mad at him last night, but that's just, you know, why? Fog of war, because we talked about we talked about it. You'll have to hear good tease, though, Hank. You'll have to hear it in the interview.

It's bombs will fly. Yeah. What? Yeah. What would the YouTube title be? Ryan Whitney and PFT at each other's throats. Yeah, Ryan, both your faces are super red. Yeah, Ryan, Whitney, coming out of your ears and PFT fireworks. Big Cat gives Billy football, Dave, a Tesla. PFT threatens to.

Oh, you know what? I did threaten to kick him off the interview last night. You could do PFT threatens to expel Ryan Whitney from part of my take. Nice. Ban him for life. Yes. So do the Tesla thing. Yeah, just David Dobrik and always plays. Yeah. So when I got into last night, it was all just like we're watching the stream.

I'm invested when I watch capitals games way more. So if you ever see me watch like a commander's game, I have like a little bit of detachment from it because I have no expectations like ever and I can laugh at it with the capitals. It's one team that I've always cared about and actually like felt the impact of the game as it's happening. I get stressed out. So I got mad at Whit because Whit was betting against the caps, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

I went to a dark place last night because we were going to win the game. We're up by one goal with two minutes left. Goalie was pulled and I was just in my mind. It was 3-1 already. Yeah, I counted as a win. That's fair. That's yeah. But it's not because we played kind of like ass last night. I think we got like 16 shots. It was just it was not great.

I think we had five power plays and got four shots total. I don't think that's good that you got to start yelling. Shoot the pop. Shoot the pop. We need to shoot more. That's the thing is like we used to shoot all the time. We don't shoot that much anymore. But yeah, now the now the tit bets back on. So Jake and I will be in the barn.

Yes, Jake, are you ready on Friday? That'll be fun in D.C. We got to get the fake. We got to figure out what we're going to do with the fake tits. Right. So it'll be the the bed is if you miss Monday's show. PFT and Jake are going to try. We're going to try to get them on the glass. So behind the net behind the behind the bench and shadow game time.

Go download the game time app. And I think you guys should we should figure out what the tits are. If the the team that's losing, that person has to do it. Like, so if the game changes or if they tie it back up, tie means you can stop. But if it's like the Panthers score one minute into the game, PFT puts on the tits until they until it's time scores. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to be we'll bring a bra to actually.

I think you should be. I think you should have to keep it on for a tie until the lead changes. So if the like, say the capitals go up one nothing. Wait for it. The Panthers are one one. You have to keep it on until the Panthers are up to one. I like I'll take that. That's a big change for one. Well, that's because here's the only reason I'm saying that is

I don't know how many times we'll have a shot on you guys. So we want to maximize that. So I'm actually seeing like my worst nightmare come to fruition in front of me, because the way that this is all potentially going to play out is, you know, we got Game Five down in what's the name of the city that you play in? Sunrise and Sunrise Broward. It's a strip mall.

Grassmills get your nails done. You city get your nails done there, get a pliable. So they're going to win. I've already I've already convinced myself that that the Panthers are going to win in Game Five, and it's going to be three, two. It's going to go back to D.C. And then Jake is going to win in my face, because that's what Jake does. And then he's going to give me the like

firmest handshake ever and say congrats on a great series. Well, we did say we have to do the handshake after a guard. Jake and I are at each other's throats right now. I but I will do a handshake line with him, regardless of the outcome of the series. Yeah, it's the hard hour. As much as anyone can be at Jake's throat, I'm at his throat, which means I'm not like holding doors for him. The other games, Penguins just dominated the Rangers.

Again, we're going to get to all of it. I don't know what else. I mean, the avalanche looked like the best team in the world right now. It does. It is a stark contrast when you see every series is competitive. Then they just took care of business, swept swept the Predators. Yeah, I'm just upset with the Rangers because I was mostly just looking forward to the narrative of like they can win a cup now that Henry. Henry Lundquist is gone and he was holding them back.

That was going to be a fun thing that we could all talk about. And that would really piss off Rangers fans, too. But they look they look real, real bad. They they just like, I don't know. I don't know how to judge effort when I'm watching hockey because I've never really played hockey at any any sort of level whatsoever. And they all look like they're trying hard all the time out there. But it seemed like the Penguins had a level of effort

that the Rangers weren't even approaching. Yeah, they were trying harder. They were trying harder. Yes. They skated harder. Yes. Yes. I agree with that. All right. Should we do Hot Sea Cool Throne? Then we got Ryan Whitney in studio for like an hour. We're going to talk some hockey and then we will finish up with some FAQs. We're brought to you by our friends at Raising Canes.

Yeah, some things he's part. Brady would go to jail for you. Yeah, I do. I actually think maybe he'll sign me the iPod. Oh, yeah, I was talking shit about Apple products last week. This is probably the greatest Apple product ever invented, but they announced today that they're discontinuing the iPod. Not sure why.

See, yeah, I think, you know what? I think they were great. I think they were. I think they they were selling like virtually no iPods these days because nobody nobody buys an iPod, but I think they I love the iPods. I think they just announced that they were going to discontinue them so that people would go out and buy them knowing like, hey, this is the last chance that you're going to have to buy an iPod.

They'll be able to get some off the show. I can't think of anything better than an iPod. Yeah, how are you all of your music? All of your music on your phone. On your phone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I once got my sister's hand me down pink iPod Nano and that was fire. Yeah, even though it was like bright pink, I got teased for it.

It was sick. My favorite iPod thing was back way back in the day. Like I'm talking 0607 when the iPod like one or two came out. It would break. It would like freeze. And the only way to unfreeze it, I'd just chuck it against the wall and it would always work. It was like it was you felt like a tech guy because you're just like, all right, my iPod's broken.

My least favorite iPod memory was when those clowns, you too, got got forced onto all of our iTunes. That was awful. I had one of the iPod nanos that didn't have a screen. And oh, yeah, knowing how to navigate around that and just knowing where songs were like I I'm basically a genius. Like I'm Elon Musk for my level of knowing like I would landscape and I would know like I have to click this, this and this

to get to the songs I want. You felt like like a blind person walking through hallways like we knew knew exactly where the doors were. Yeah, yeah. And then my cool throne is Will Leviss. Oh, yeah. Kentucky football guy of the week. I think we talked to him about coming on. I don't think he actually came on, but he's a big A.W.L.

He's a one football guy of the week. He went viral for a bunch of stuff. We talked about him last year. CBS Sports put out their latest mock draft. He's number one. Wow, we got to get him on. Yeah, yeah, he's a huge, huge male guy. Yeah, he's one who ate the banana.

Wait, what do you do with the banana? He ate the banana with the with the peel on. And then he puts mayo in his coffee. Yeah. So all the respect in the world of this guy. Shout out to Will. Yeah. He's like the. No pressure. He you love when an athlete gets to a high level

and they're also still a troll. Yeah, like that's what he is. I respect. I love the I love it so much. It's in his blood, which yeah, I respect that. That's that's who he is as a person. It's his championship DNA. So recurring guest will love us. I think it's Levis. Is it Levis?

I think it's Levis. I think it is. It is. Okay. Levis. Yeah. He's a recurring guest. He just doesn't know it yet soon to be on the show. Well, I think we were going to have him on. And then I think they like lost a couple of games.

And I was like, yeah, yeah, but it doesn't matter now. Yeah, these are these are really the only mock drafts that I truly trust are the ones that come out right after the actual draft, looking ahead to next year. Yep. I think they always get that exactly. Exactly. Especially the value, especially this year. They got it right. Yeah.

All right. PFT, your hot seat. Cool. My hot seat is farting. Oh, yeah. Farting is on the hot seat because there's a Brazilian defender. He's a soccer player. His name is Marcelo. And he played on Leon. It's a friend, a French league and team, which is their league number one.

And he got he got booted from his team. He actually got cut and his contract terminated earlier this year. Everyone thought it was because he was acting. He was like laughing and stuff in the locker room when his captain was giving a big pump up speech after they suffered a pretty bad loss. Turns out what was really happening was Marcelo was just continuously farting and laughing at his own farts

in the dressing room as his coach and as his or excuse me, manager, as his manager and as his captain was addressing the team. And apparently he was farting so loudly and laughing so loudly that they just straight up cut him from the team. So I think I think like context matters here because if it was if he was farting like silent but deadly and then laughing at the smell, that's an asshole move. Yes, I agree with cutting a player for that.

Yes, if he's farting loudly and it sounds funny, like funny is funny. You can't cut a player for laughing at funny sounding farts. Yes, I agree. I mean, Eli Manning would have been cut. Exactly. Right. I say, yeah. In that case, I say Hogo bonito. Yes. Continue to fart, continue to laugh. It's like, you know, you need sometimes also after a bad loss, you need to break it up a little bit in the locker room afterwards.

A fart in the middle of like an impassioned speech is objectively a hilarious move, especially after you lose. And everybody's probably really down on themselves, feeling bad. If you if you fart in that training room afterwards, it kind of it it it makes the loss. It puts in a perspective. Yeah, is what it does. But you are right.

If it's bad smells, bad smell guys, when they're told they're a bad smell guy and they continue to be a bad smell guy, yeah, worst of the worst. Yeah. You know what? His teammates should have joined in. That actually seems like it would be a great scene out of Ted Lasso. Yeah. After a bad loss, one of the guys farts. Everyone looks at him kind of funny.

And then the next guy farts pretty much before you know it, everyone on the team is farting. That's team building right there. And someone likes a match and they all die. That's camaraderie. Yeah. Yeah. End of the end of the season. Yep. That's actually how they should end the entire series of Ted Lasso.

Yeah. And then there's actually no, they fart, light a match, everyone dies. Then there's a weird provision in the whole like league rules that if you, everyone dies at one time, you win the league. I like that. I like that. So always believe. And what is it? Believe, believe and then his wife gets back together. Yeah. And then my fox is dead corpse.

Yeah. She took a turn. She farts on his corpse at his funeral at the end of her eulogy for him. It says, I have always loved you, Ted. Yeah. And then they ship, they ship his body back to America. But in the casket is a bunch of cocaine. Ozark season six. It's beautiful. Yeah. We got it. That's really beautiful.

I can't help. How's Hollywood not just tired us to happen to our brains? We just I still think that it would be a great idea if we just found a way to do a movie where it just meshed all the movies together. Just a fucking mash of them all. That's not a bad idea. Yeah. Everything is popular right now. Right. And this is set in South Korea and one

soccer the last soccer player to fart gets executed by a guy to mask. Yes. Yes. This is like it would all or like even if you do actors, if you just do mashups for actors like Tom Cruise is or no, sorry, Tom Hanks is like getting off the boat in Normandy. He's getting bullets everywhere, people dying. Then all of a sudden he catches a football and he starts running. And that's the start of Forest Gump. And then Tom Cruise flies over him in the F-14 and strafes.

Yeah. All the soldier, all the German soldiers using modern technology. Right. And that's that's now Top Gun four. I love it. Three. Yeah. Just mash them all. It's beautiful. Movie mash. My cool throne is Andrew Luck. Because I think you guys told me this, that when you went to the steakhouse, St. Elmo's Steakhouse in Indianapolis, he doesn't eat steak. He eats chicken. Correct.

And that's how you knew he was not going to be an elite quarterback. He was a very good quarterback for a while. Nervous bird. Nervous bird. As we alluded to earlier, I only trust mock drafts that occur immediately after the draft. Last year's number one, Sam Howell, now a current Washington commander, said that he also doesn't eat steak. So it might feel like a red flag. And it is a red flag because, like, if you want to start in the quarterback,

yes, you want, he better be just chugging copious amounts of mayo if he's not eating steak, if he wants me to like him. But yeah, I could spin zone it in a way that's like, what if he's just waited his entire life and deprived himself of steak until he wins a Super Bowl? And that's like his goal. Right. That could be like a motivating that would be very, very motivating. But apparently like no steak whatsoever.

That's that's very strange to me. As I started quarterback, I don't like it. Yeah, it's it also let me just be clear. Eating chicken is fine. It was specifically going to a steakhouse and ordering chicken is a psycho move. I have no problem with eating chicken. I think that you have to. Man's got to have a steak every now and again.

Right. Right. Exactly. Got to have a steak. Got a man's got to have a steak. All right. My hot seat is Huskier dudes, because it is officially T-shirt weather. And I tweeted something today about solidarity with all my guys who have to go. It's the one day a year where you basically switch abruptly from your sweatshirt to your T-shirt.

You're not ready for it. You got to get out that T-shirt, black T-shirts, double XL, triple XL, always size up. But it's just a terrible feeling. So shout out to everyone there. We're we're going through it right now. That first few days, we're like, I haven't worn a T-shirt in six months. Yeah. I'm doing it right now.

Solidarity, black T-shirt. It sucks a lot. Maybe a good move would be just make sure you have an undershirt on underneath the T-shirt. You've been out of the game for a while. It's a little sweaty. Make sure you've got something to soak that up. Maybe even like tank top or a wife beater season. Yeah. And I and you also just need to find that one T-shirt that's very comfortable

and just run that all throughout the summer. Don't be worried about wearing the same type of T-shirt. It's like, obviously change your T-shirt, but if it's the same, who cares? How do we feel about long sleeve T-shirts and shorts? It's good when it's. But that's got to be like 60 degrees. I also think that's like a 25 year old and under move. Yeah. But it's 60.

It's like 60 degrees at the beach, bonfire. Yeah. But yeah, it's great bonfire weather. Yeah. Yeah. And then my cool throne is this podcast. Good. Our relationship with Chad Kelly. Good. Oh, hell yeah. Chad Kelly sent me a jersey. I don't know why he sent it to me.

He wrote big cat love and respect, brother swag. I've I don't know why he sent it to me, but Billy, I'm going to gift it to you. Shows how much your loyalty is gone. Didn't you get blocked by him? Yeah, but I then meet. Well, OK, I think I know what's wrong. He's been trying. I was wrong. No, nothing's wrong. He's back with us. Yeah.

What's wrong? I you've been his biggest fan. Right. I something must have happened. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't. He was trying to get me to help promote a coin with him. OK. Oh, crypto. Yeah. And you wouldn't do it. Boon coin. OK. So I shout out Boon coin.

I think we're now good. I can accept the jersey. I think he actually has a new business because it came with a bunch of stuff called Blasey Susan. I think it's a weed dispensary in Colorado. I think those are separate packages. No, it was all together. Really? Yeah. Maybe they've sent us shit before. OK, so maybe it was not Chad Kelly specifically.

But then that makes no sense. Is he part of Blasey Susan? I'll look at it. They've been sending us shit for a while. If I had to bet, I would say that Chad Kelly is more than likely involved in some sort of legal marijuana. I'm going to find out Blasey Susan, but either way, we're back. We're back with Swag Kelly.

Feels good. Boon coin. Yeah. This is I will get Billy is so triggered right now. Yeah, Billy wants, you know what, like a jersey from Swag Kelly to Billy would mean way more than a tweet from Tom Brady to Hank. I mean, I literally wore a Swag Kelly jersey like last weekend, not this weekend, the last weekend. Dirty season. Yes. Now you can wear this one.

Yeah. Perfect. Toronto, Argonauts. All right. What's your hot seat? Cool. Jerome, Billy, my hot seat is the mob. Now, I originally heard this from a dealer in Vegas, but apparently a bunch of mob bodies have because of the lowering levels of water in Lake Mead, a bunch of mob bodies have been washing up because the water levels are lower.

Jimmy Hoffa. Yeah. They didn't find Jimmy Hoffa, but just hot seat. The mob, they should have been working on water conservation efforts. That would be hilarious. That would be a great episode of the Sopranos. The mob goes green. That would be excellent. So going to Almond Farmers.

Yeah, I thought you were about to say that the mob is on the hot Almond. He said Almond. I just when Billy mispronounces things, sometimes I just I let it fly. It's an A. Say it again. Almond. No. OK. How do you say the Almond Brothers? The Almond Brothers. Almond. You just said Almond.

So just put it. Dude, I'm so confused. Put that D on Almond. Almond. Yeah, there you go. That's how you say the nut. Why I say for Almond. What? Well, I see the A.L. in my head and I say A.L. It's just all I could not agree more. Yeah, you just get stopped at the A.L.

Yeah, I'm like Almond. I thought you were going to see the mobs on the hot seat because Gunna is getting arrested under Rico. And Young Thug and Young Thug Bob. I think we need to fill in if you really want to dive into that. That's not very P of the FBI James Harden somehow. They're all in a record label, which is now being considered a gang being investigated for a murder in 2015.

Young Thug apparently rented the car that the killers used. And they basically used the Rico case to tie the entire the entire organization together. We should get busted on a Rico. But James Harden is always with them. So that's where it's like the like when he's at the recording studio and until five a.m. before practice, like he's with. Could you imagine if we get Jake to like commit a felony

and then we all get recalled? Well, no, we've definitely committed felonies on this podcast before. I actually transported a gun across state lines for that skit that we shot down in Houston as a Canada boys. We bought a handgun. You bought a gun. Billy frog to content. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't have the gun anymore.

I turned it in legally. Wait, Jake did too much dip inside of a stadium. Yeah, that'll be funny if we all got recalled for Jake. Yeah. But wait, if I did something in Uber that big cat paid for. Is that? Yeah. Yeah. That's Rico. That's Rico. Yeah, we're a scale. It was high noon.

Was it high noon involved? No. OK. What did you do in an Uber? Well, James, it was. No, it wasn't James. No, that was a joke. Just. Yeah, totally. Open the classic.

It's a joke that won't totally get you freaked out tomorrow when people are like, I know what you did in the Uber. And you're like, what? What did I do? Two other hot seats. Brett Farve is part of a two twenty four million dollar lawsuit by the state of Mississippi for him misallocating welfare funds. And my last are you a cop is the queen because Prince Charles, for the first time ever, delivered the queen's speech for British Congress ever.

Oh, is she dead? Is is the queen on the hot seat? Yeah, I'd say so. Yeah. Where is she? I'm on Queen Watch officially now. I'm on I'm tracking two things currently. Help me out out there. One, the queen's presence and her whereabouts. And two, when LeBron James is going to have that fucking Q&A.

Yep. And my cool throne is Mike Tyson. All his charges from beating up that guy on the plane were dropped. And the UFOs, because there was recently a really good UFO picture. Also, I think Congress is having open testimony from like intelligence officials. And yeah, people from the Department of Defense about UFOs. Jake, my hot seat is FIFA. The game is no more. E.A. Sports and FIFA are dead in twenty twenty three.

It's being rebranded as E.A. Sports FC. Doesn't have the same still FIFA. It's still FIFA. It's always it's FIFA. Fair FIFA is the game now. Cool throne is Nickelodeon. We are now getting Nick games in the regular season for the Christmas Day game between the Broncos and the Rams is going to be on Nick.

This scheduling thing, they just are just doing like a game a day now. Well, yeah, Christmas, they're taking over Christmas from the NBA. But I'm saying the schedule release on Thursday doesn't mean as much anymore. So it means a lot. But I, I unironically love the Nick broadcast of football games. I think there should be a Nick broadcast every single weekend. Well, you won one game should be on there. You like no eagle?

Yes, I got approval. But yeah, I think it's nice. Like you you can opt into it. You don't have to watch the game with the slime. I have an option of watching a game with slime and watching a game without slime. I'm going to slime. Dude, I was I was actually bummed when we when they had the Nick broadcast in the playoffs this year, because like my son is starting to get to the age

where like he'll literally look and be like, where's the football? And it absolutely would keep his attention longer if they had slime. So I'm looking forward to it. And then he's going to just think about the generation of football fans that grew up on. Yeah, they're going to get. Yeah, it'd be so confused. Yeah, we're a young slime life.

Slime every touchdown. Yeah. Why as hell? That's us. I get that reference. I saw some of those tweets last night. I did a cursory like what's going on. So are we I want to know where we stand as a podcast. So are we are we free going off?

We were just talking about getting paled, memes paled me. Yeah, it is the most disrespectful thing to have someone give you like she's like, OK, pal, that's that's fighting words. Yeah, I said I said I'd rather get slapped in the face. I'd rather get some somebody spit in my face to then pal me. Yeah, it's like Billy football, bro, embodied me in the span of 10 seconds. And I feel like that's basically giving me a hug opposed to.

Yeah, what's up, pal? Pal is. Yeah, you're basically saying like, I don't like you. I want to fight. Look, can you pass the salt? OK, pal. You're just like, no problem, pal. We're about to ruin dinner. You've been sluggered. No, sluggers sluggered. We're talking. That's like, we can't even talk about.

I think it's a knife fight at that point. Well, unless you're talking about like a 12 year old in his like baseball uniform, well, that's what I'm saying. Like as a man, as an adult male, if you get sluggered. Yeah, but what if it's a 12 year old who just went over for four with four case, you're like, then that's funny. You're like, oh, yeah, I'm teaching him a lesson. Sluggered the scrub.

Yeah, sluggered. All right, so you guys speaking of beef, PFT and Witt have beef. Yeah, we're not talking. Oh, yeah, let's get an opinion. By the way, we're not talking about a fucking hole in his pants with his horn staring right at me. Hitting me, Billy. Let me see, Billy.

What the hell? Billy. You might as well pal me for the rest of a turn to your holes. Talking to Mike, Billy. Jesus Christ. It's a rip. There's two levels of cloth. These are part of my take.

Great. He's buying some pants. Billy's doing them, Billy. I didn't realize there was a hole until you just said. OK, well, I'm telling you to get some new pants. He's lying. I told him five minutes before this interview, there's a hole. I looked out for him.

Well, I meant like I didn't realize until I sat down here. Wow. So he just made that up. Hot start. PFT and I. So Jake maybe hasn't heard this or Billy, I'd like their opinion. PFT. I want to hear the whole thing.

I didn't watch. PFT Enormous Caps fan. We were having a great discussion watching the game. We had the volume on Penguins Rangers, but my pens were smashing the Rangers. So he said, all right, let's go third period. That game's over. We'll go volume for cat caps. Now I'm rooting for the Capitals, actually.

Like I want them to win. We were talking beforehand about another. That is bullshit. You said before the game even started that you were rooting for the cats. No, no, no. Yes. Can I speak? Well, you're telling me why?

No, I'm not. I said, I think the cats are going to win. Then we both agreed. We'd love one more Crosby Ovechkin matchup. Correct. Unfortunately, it can't happen until the conference finals. We thought it was second round, but the way they. Oh, it can?

Yeah. They're seated in different ways. We're still unclear about that. We don't know. I don't host the hockey ball guys. There were nine different opinions in the room at one time being like what the next matchup is going to be in the next round. So either way, we're watching the game and the caps are kind of playing horrific, but

they're up to one. So 12 shots on net. They're winning. They got to hold down the fort. Now I picked the Penguins win. Then I had Zebenijad shot bet. So I'm feeling it. I'm two and all on the night.

I'm feeling it. You're hot. You'll say when you're hot, you're getting things coming to your brain. You're feeling it and your bets are firing. Seeing everything. So I said, guys, the Panthers are going to tie this game up. Everyone here bet next goal Panthers. I go, I want the Capitals to win.

When the Panthers score, I'm all in on the caps. PFT lost his mind. You're doing this to fuck with me and my life. And my livelihood. You are legitimately. My livelihood. My livelihood. He thought I did it on purpose.

I often am saying, talking about my livelihood, discussing, that's a word I use a lot. You're a livelihood guy. You have a great vocab and you actually took it personal, whereas I was just feeling a bet. No, here's what happened. If you had bet on the cats before the game and you're rooting for that game in my face, I understand that. I get that.

That's part of the game, right? That's what you do on streams. You have two people going at each other. This to me felt like livelihood when the caps were up two to one in the third period. And you were like, you know what we're going to get? That's right. I'm going to go live bet. It's going to be, it's going to be the Panthers score the next game.

And he pointed it in my face. And then you're right. What you just said. I didn't point your face. No, no, no. The biggest part about this was you, you rounded up the troops. No, I took it. You're like, Hey, everybody else, let's all bet on PFT to lose.

And then after I was like, wait, this is fucked up. Then you like, okay, you know what I'll do just for you. They score that goal. Then I'll bet. I think this is all in camera. So revisionist history for PFT's basically bizarre because you, I might as well pal you right now. Okay, pal.

Your story's wrong. I'll say this. Billy, don't you laugh. You're basically, you're basically instinct Billy over there flashing Whitney. Billy's legit tugging himself off through the hole. It's a real hole to finish off the story. The Panthers. I'm feeling it.

I'm making winning bats and then the Panthers are out shooting them 28 to 12. I'm like, they're going to tie it up. It was nothing personal towards my buddy and my pal PFT. And then I did say I want the capitals to win and they didn't. So I'm not getting blamed for a game that the caps played like shit at home and really didn't deserve to. I'm simply only blaming you for vibes. That's it.

And I admit a hundred percent. Like I'm, I'm very salty this morning. I woke up this morning with a hockey hangover where I didn't even drink less. I had a beer in overtime. I'm waking up this morning feeling like absolute dog shit because my team lost an overtime game and I'm emotions are running wild right now. But this is why we watch. Right.

Well, so I, I think you, I think you were kind of fucked up in the moment. If you were using your good juju to beat PFT, but I also think PFT, like when I get mad about a bet, I can move on about 10 minutes after I get very, very mad for 10 minutes. So I don't think PFT should carry it to today. Is that fair? Like you kind of. But it wasn't even fucked him, but the gambling, the gambling, the gambling game is just like every man for himself.

I know. And I get, like you saw. I'm winning tonight. I'm thinking about like during March Madison, Rico tried to shake my hand after I had a terrible loss. I'm not fucking shaking your hand. Now I'm a scumbag moving. I'm a Rico rider.

Yeah. And then can't shake his hand. And then 10 minutes later I was like, all right, I've settled down. I'm good. Like we moved on. I shouldn't have played with your hair after they tied it up. I'm sorry. Small difference.

Like this wasn't a bet that I lost. It's like the team that I care about. So. Right. But you can't carry it. That's true. That's true. I'm fully admitting that I'm carrying it right now.

I don't know how long, but that's what I'm feeling. Well, let's talk about the fact that after the game ended, he just sat there in silence for an hour. I'm like, is this guy going home and finally still be like, see, uh, I was like, oh, shit. Get your laptop. Wait. So let's start with this. What you got to do after a loss.

You just got to collect your thoughts for a good long while. Let's start with this series. Is it. Is that like that? Because the way the Capitol's loss was horrific, losing, you know, giving up a goal with two minutes left, then losing an overtime at home to basically put like a stranglehold on the series. Do you think that that's, that's curtains for them?

I actually don't because as PFT and myself said last night, they have a goalie. They found a goalie. You know, it was going into the series, it's like, who are they going to play? They got two different tenders. Well, this Samsung off last night and every game pretty much has been really solid since he came in. So I think that for them to be able to like know they can hold the Panthers to whatever, two, three goals, they scored like four and a half goals a year all season.

Right. So I was going in the playoffs. I was like, I don't, I picked them to win this series. But I said, I don't know if they could continue to just score at will in the playoffs. Everything changes. So I think the Capitals can at least force game seven. They got to, they got to at least show up to play and get more than 15 shots next game. So when you say everything changes, I agree.

Playoff hockey always used to be right. It used to always be just take the under like teams, play defense guys, block shots guys play more like the teams play more conservatively. They try not to make as many mistakes. What's going on this year? Because it's basically the opposite. It used to be every time we get to the playoffs, you can just basically bank on like two, one, three, two games.

Yep. And now it's just every night, everyone's scoring. So the league changed this year, maybe a little bit last year, we're scoring exploded and like watching as many games and reading articles, it's like no one really has that much of an explanation as to why, I mean, the talent's unreal, the game's faster, quicker. The playoffs is staying the same, I think because of all the penalties called. So like people's complaint right now is that it's not even, it doesn't even feel like hockey some games where, you know, most of the time in the playoffs, you're hoping for 46 to 50

minutes of five on five hockey, maybe two or three power plays for each team. And then you're going to see a real winner based on five on five. It's turned into just survive five on five, wait till you get a power play. And now teams, power plays are so good. You see the Panthers, they have five forwards on their power play. Most teams are at least just one defenseman. So I think that the scoring staying up has a lot to do with the power plays and also just the game's good right now.

Yeah. I think hockey's, I think the ratings are up. Shout out to our boy, Biz Nasty, talking about them big old titties in Dallas on TNT. So they're getting, they're getting. Took over beat NBA on that Thursday night. Did they? No, well, the NBA didn't have any games last Thursday because NHL was on TNT. Just kicked them off the fucking.

Exactly. There we go. And they had Barkley on the other night and he's talking about series. He's talking about Crosby, Ovi and the Maple Leaf. So hockey's in a good place and the scoring being up, it is odd during the playoffs. You're used to these defensive battles, but I think it's good. I think it's solid. I'm into it.

So at the end of that caps game, there was one moment where we almost put it away, where we almost made it a three to one game and it was a empty netter at the end. I think it was Hathaway that shot it. I forget who shot the puck, but it essentially bounced off the post, outside the post, didn't go in. That translates to an icing comes back to the other end of the ice. Is that something that like coaches tell you in the playoffs, like, don't take empty net shots because the risk reward is not that great?

No. So funny enough, back in the day when I was growing up, when I was playing pro, if you were up a goal. You played pro. Yeah. Nine and a half years over here and then a year in Russia. So yeah, thanks for remembering. When I was playing pro, Billy Powell.

No, you are. No, you are. You boxed the guy who took a dive. We just said he technically was a pro boxer. You know, you have my license. We were a pro trainer for the guy the other night, the beat Canelo. So back then when there was a one goal lead and you had the puck, if you went for the goal and iced it, your entire team would shame you.

It was like a game of thrones. Shame, shame. You're a scumbag if you did that. You're like yourself. You should try to get a goal. We got to make sure we're not giving up face off down the other end. Don't ice the puck. Don't ice the puck.

Then I'm going to say it was two, three years ago. Obviously analytics becomes a thing and people start doing the research and figuring out the math. I'm a math guy, but not that big of a math guy. I have no idea how it works. But now they know the metric system. Now they know this is an ounce. This is an eighth.

This is a gram. Now they know that you're supposed to literally go for it. So it doesn't matter how many times you ice it because the times that you can actually hit the net and put the game away, outweigh the ability for that team to win a face off, go D2D or actually score. So now any time you're up a goal, you're going for it. So the other part that's interesting, I feel like this has been a change. Teams now pull the goalie with like four minutes left.

Yeah, that's crazy to me. Crazy. And when you're down two goals, I could see three and a half, maybe four minutes. But was it last night? I think they pulled it over 3.30 and they just need one goal. But PFT said once they got control in the offensive zone and they're snapping around. That's when PFT is like, oh, shit, this is too much time.

So yeah, if you pull them early and all of a sudden in the neutral zone, they're snapping around and you're fumble fucking the puck. And all of a sudden the other team puts it away and there was so much time, it looks bad. But if you can get in the zone, tire the five guys out there, tire them out and you got six. Over time, you're going to get at least a couple of great hits. Yeah, it was just a matter of an inch.

Exactly. The puck missed by an inch. Less than an inch. We're having, thank you, we're having a different conversation. And we're talking about a 3-1 series. And we're probably actually, so Biz actually went at it online with your guy, Keith Overman. I know you're a big fan of his. Yeah, me and Keith, we vacationed together in the summer.

We walk our dogs together, he's got those like dead dogs. He's doing advertising for, that guy's a legit piece of shit. But I still love him. That's why we go on this cute little vacation. We rent the house in Nantucket. It's beautiful. I had to mute him just because every day it was like, this dog's about to die in 45 seconds unless you pick it up.

And I was like, God damn it. Yeah, I was helping him make those tweets. But, but, but it was a gun to a dog's head. I will personally kill a smoking crack out of a pipe and 65th street. Get here right now. I'm actually meeting him for lunch after the time you said hi. So, so he was going at it with Biz nasty. And he was, I guess, Biz was saying that T.J.

Oh, she knows Susie for him. Where are we at on that? I'm pretty sure rarely does the entire hockey Twitter community agree on something. So you're never going to get a hundred percent. But basically everyone sees that as a clean hit. Unfortunately, Bennett had his stick in his glove kind of up near his chest. So the point of contact kind of hit his, hit his hand, which is against his check. Then the guy hit his stick, like hit himself in the face with his own stick.

And the guy got crushed. I mean, sometimes you gotta have your head up, cutting through the neutral zone. Get off the train tracks. Right. Yeah. You don't want to get run over. And oh, she runs people over. It was a great hit.

Yeah. It was a great hit. And unless you keep the old man. Big, big hits in hockey are the best. We were talking before you don't think Canada is going to win the Stanley Cup. You're a Maple Leafs hater. You're an Edmonton Oilers alum. Yeah. I once an oiler, always an oiler.

But that wasn't the best time of your career. No, but still, still, big cat. I'm going to, I'm going to choose to remember the good things about Edmonton. Not getting screamed at and called a piece of shit scumbag. Fuck head as I'm walking to the ice. Actually, so I don't know if they still have it. But at the old arena, Rexall Arena, we'd come out of the locker room and I don't know like how you got the tickets, but there was a big long bar that you walk by.

So all the fans are drinking. Now, granted, every year were last place. I'm like, oh, my God. So I got traded there and Dustin Penner at the time was the whipping boy. And I knew for a fact, I'm like, this is going to be me at some point. I'm a tall, not physical defense is getting it ugly. So Penner, as we're sitting there, waiting to go up before the big oilers emblem door opens and you walk out for the ice.

He's like, you want to see me get completely crushed when these doors open. I'm like, what do you mean? The door's open. They're like, Pat, are you fat? Fuck you. I was like, oh, shit. It's before his nose even got out of the doorway. So I was like, oh, boy. So then as time went along, it turned into me. I'm walking on the ice like, when do you suck your big ear prick?

I was like, Jesus Christ. But credit to you because you are still an oiler alone. So I explain it like this, Edmonton. Now, granted, CFL is there, but that doesn't count. It's a fake league. They have one team, one pro team. There's over a million people there. And they've had so much success with Gretzky, Messier, all the glory days.

So being there and being as bad as we were, I witnessed the most loyal, passionate fan base. Now, every team's fan base can say that. But Canada, there's nothing else going on. It's the flames and the oilers in Alberta. I just want them to have success because since I mean, they went to the finals in 0-5 or whatever it was. Since that 0-6, they've been horrific.

Right. They made the playoffs maybe once, I think, maybe twice. First round pick after first or first pick. I think four first overall picks they have. Then they got right side on. And then like, it's just they, if they can't figure it out, it's kind of crushing to the fan base that I no care so much. So I decided to hop on board.

Tonight, I'm sending them a video. It'll be on the big screen. I'm going to get them all fired up a little bit. I'm going to say, you guys better scream for this team as loud as you used to scream and call me a cunt as I was walking on the ice. Maybe we can drop the cunt ball. I'm sorry for that.

But they hated me. But I've just risen above that to really kind of be an oiler for life. I love it because I just bet all the Canada teams. I told you before, after retiring Coach K, I was like, what's my next challenge? Oh, it's the impossible, bringing a Stanley Cup to Canada because it hasn't happened since 1993.

So I'm in on the Oilers. I'm in on the Flames. You hate the Leafs. I don't, yeah, I hate Leafs fans, which is actually funny because it's like I'm just talking about how passionate the Oilers fans are. Right. Oilers fans have more, they're more down to earth.

They're like Western Canadian people. I say people from Saskatchewan are the greatest people in the world. Ontario people can be pricks. And I love Ontario. Check out the score bet. But they're just very cocky about the Leafs for no reason. Oilers fans are like, we suck.

We haven't done anything in so long. Leafs fans are acting like they got four cups in the last 10 years. They haven't won the cup since 67. They haven't got out of the first round in 20 years. Right. They should be lovable losers by now though, right? But that's what I'm saying.

They're not like Cubs fans before the World Series. They're cocky. You're like, dude, why are you cocky? You have nothing to be cocky about. I said Yankees fans right now. Yankees fans are a joke. Is that you, Jake? Yeah.

And Billy. He's got a hole in his pants. So I think if you actually look at Maple Leafs fans, if they could show a little humility and kind of admit that they're the joke, I wouldn't hate them as much. And they are a joke because they lose every year. I also think that's on a sliding scale for Canada.

It's like the biggest pricks in Canada. They're basically like Seattle, like Seahawks fans. You know, like they're a little bit arrogant. But they're still like. They're the biggest pricks, but they still won't pal you. Right. Right. They'd never do that.

They would never, ever do that. But they'd fucking not. They'd rather kill one of old men's deaths. I also think they're kind of overcompensating sometimes for how miserable it's been. Because it's a difference. Like the Oilers have not been in the playoffs. The Leafs have been in the playoffs

and just lost every time. That's a different lesson. 3-1, with Leeds. So I'm very excited. Now, by the time you guys are listening to this tomorrow, is this coming out tomorrow? Yeah. So we'll know what happened.

But tonight's game five in Toronto is must watch TV. So I can't wait to check that out in Tampa. I think they're going to get it done. I just think the Leafs have this vibe about them that. So this stat's unbelievable. This stat kind of explains a lot. In the, I think it's the Austin Matthews error. If not, it's a little before that.

But Maple Leafs recently, while leading, while down in the series, they're like seven or eight and three, while tied in the series, they're about 500, say, eight and eight. And when leading these series, they're one and nine. So it's more of like, it might be a legit mental thing. It's like having a three leg parlay and you just can't close it.

Right. You know? And they're up against the opposite, where the lightning, I don't know what the exact stat is. But I think Biz said it, like the last three years, they've never lost back-to-back playoff. 15 or 16 and all. It's crazy.

It's nuts. And so it's at the point now, if you're not betting them after a loss, it's like you're giving away free money. Yes. What about our good friends in New York Rangers? I just kind of wanted to feed them the floor. The biggest bougey scumbag. Another fan base that tries me fucking crazy.

It's because you talk to Avery in the office and you talk to Glenny Balls in his fucking stupid 50 jerseys he wears, they had nothing to say last night when I said, guys, you have one cup in 82 fucking years. And they act like they're God's gift to Green Earth. I actually used to hate the Islanders fans for the bullshit they gave to the Vars when he signed in Toronto. I like them more than Rangers fans out.

Jacob, are you a Rangers fan too? No, he's a Panthers fan. He has a real piece of shit. Oh, jeez. He's from Miami. He's the Yankees Panthers, like 49ers fans. Dolphins? Yeah.

You're from Florida? My Trico. I'm sorry to hear that. So Rangers, I'll say this, they have a pretty bright future, whereas I think everyone of their fans kind of thought maybe next year or two years from now, it's like we're competing for the cup. Well, everything kind of got pushed up a little

because of the success they had, whereas now it's like, we're going to beat the Penguins easily. It's like, you're going against Sidney Crosby. They're acting like Crosby is this no-name scrub. He's one of the best players of all time. And they really treated him with zero respect. And what has he done this year? He's been the best player in the ice.

Right. Right. And he's, yeah. And he's just served and done nothing. Right. I kind of, I understand what happened to the Rangers fans because they were so bad last year. Tom Wilson ended their entire franchise, basically,

at the end of the season. They fired everybody. They kind of had to rebuild a lot of pieces. They came in this year and then they so massively outperformed expectations earlier that they're like, fuck it. It rushed everything. This feels good.

This feels good. So they rushed. And you can be like, oh, the fans rushed having expectations. But they actually rushed things in terms of how they built their team. They kind of got some short-term loans, right? Well, they trade a lot for Andrew Cobb, who's a UFA, so they're probably going to lose him out.

And he's really good. He came from Winnipeg. I mean, once they signed Panarin, it was kind of everything was going to be a little rushed up to begin with. They also probably had no idea this Adam Fox was going to be one of the best defense in the league. He wins the Norse.

So things did go a little quickly. It was more about Rangers fans, to me, not being like, oh, wow. You know what? It's happened a little early, so I don't expect much this year. But I know we're on the right path. And let's try to give it a run. It was like, no, we're going to win the cup. It's like, what are you talking about?

Yeah, there was a lot of that. Eight months ago, you guys were, you said you weren't even going to make the playoffs. Right. So it's just, it's cocky fan bases. And now fans make the game so especially, you guys know that. But some of them drive me crazy. So the one fan base that deserves to be cocky,

well, maybe not because they don't have like prolonged success, but they look like the best team, the Southern franchise of Colorado. Yeah, business favorite Southern state. They're, they're, I mean, it's crazy to look at the landscape. I know the, I know the Penguins went up 3-1 last night. But almost every other series is very competitive. 2-2.

2-2. And then you have the, the avalanche that just took care of business and absolutely fucking trucked the predators. Are they like, how are they getting stopped? I don't know. I, I don't know if they can be stopped. The one thing that would worry me is their goal tending, maybe staying healthy.

We saw Kemper get the stick in the eye in game three in Nashville. And then he had to leave. I think it's Francois or François, I can't say his name. He's a silly sider. He's a lefty goalie. He came in. I like that silly sider. Yes, because you come down, you're used to shooting high glove

and then all of a sudden that's his blocker. It's a silly side thing. They're wackos to begin with. They're like billy, billy should be a goalie. Goallies are, goalies are crazy. Fucking lunatics. They're out of the mind. So they went and made a big deal this summer

for Darcy Kemper, who's a great goalie. He's now going to be okay. They said his eyes just swollen. Thank God it looked like he might have got it legit to stick in his eye, which was scary. But apparently it's swollen. He'll be ready to go game one of the second round. How John Beats playing with the orbital bone fracture.

Oh, I saw game four of the Bruins. So hockey tough. No, listen, listen, game four of the Bruins. Bergeron got a cut on his eyes, bleeding everywhere and he tried to stay out for the five on three. And I was with a friend. He's like, there'd be an MRI machine on the fucking court if this was the NBA right now.

What would happen if somebody in the stands like, tried to hug a player's mom? What would happen then? What if like a fan in the stands tried to hug a hockey player's mom? Is that okay? She'd probably fucking boot him right in the nuts. Unless it was a fan of like her son's team,

like Ryan O'Reilly's mom was in the stands. If a blues fan came over and tried to hug her, if a wild fan came over and tried to hug her, she'd probably just straight up ball tap. She'd say, take a height. Take care of herself. She's like, my son's a blue. So the abs are the best team in the league.

The Panthers went on this crazy run to actually take the president's trophy from him, which is a good thing. Very rarely does the president's trophy, the regular, she's a champ, win the cup. The abs have every single making, every making of just a complete wagon, right? They have superstar talent at the top.

And even last night, Nathan McKinnon, one of the best players in the game, said in the interview, he said, right now, Kayle McCartner is the best player in the league. He is a fucking treat to watch every single game. He's doing things that I've never seen before, really done. Like he's the McDavid of defensemen.

And I think Biz might've mentioned that originally, but it's like he's walking guys at the blue line. His shot's amazing. He also has the ability to light guys up. So you've seen offensive defensemen. Like when I had one good year offensively, I didn't touch a soul. This kid every year produces a point per game

and then is running people over. I just think it's gonna be hard to beat them because of how, like, well, how much depth they have. So like even at the top, that's what I'm talking about, the bottom, their bottom players are good. They play hard, they play fast. And you gotta do that to win a cup. You have to have- Four lines.

You have to have at least a couple of games where your fourth line gets one of those dirty ass goals. And like when shit's not working for the top line. And there's gonna be nights when McCarr and McKinnon get shut out and then that's when that third and fourth line shows up. Another big storyline for the abs is Nasim Khadri. Three playoffs in a row, he's been suspended.

He plays on the edge. He's one of those guys that makes teams good because he's a dirty rat player that's also really skilled, but he can't control his temper. This year, he's also a UFA. So he probably knows if I get suspended again, it might cost me some money this summer. He has to just keep us cool, right?

He's actually one of those guys that they need to win the cup. Because he's that second level behind McKinnon and McCarr and Rontan. But they are the favorites, no doubt. If you're going up against them, I mean, you have to try to get him. Well, no, but if you're prime Ryan Whitney

playing in the games, you have to try to get under a skin, right? Have to. Try to get him to do anything to get suspended. Have to try to piss him off to at least have him just throw an elbow. I think the suspensions have basically all been hits to the head.

And just try to get him to do. If you could piss him off enough, maybe he's going to go after you and throw a dirty hit. Right, yeah. What about the altitude in Denver? We always talk about the altitude when it comes to football. It's actually true.

We never do it in Denver. We never do in hockey. I think it's because it's indoors and people are like, oh, air doesn't exist. Yeah, the air doesn't travel indoors. It's you. You have masks the entire time. Is that a thing?

It's a COVID thing. It actually is. Although funny story, I remember my first game there. We were skating in the morning. My buddy's like, dude, the altitude fucks you up. The altitude messes you up. And I was like, Jesus Christ.

I'm like, this is kind of bad because you're skating around in the first period. Usually you're like, they came out hard. They always had good teams and you'd be huffing wind. And then one guy's like, you don't think it was the 15 beers

that you guys had last night that has anything to do with you guys huffing wind right now? I'm like, oh, I guess that is a good point. But the entire air part of it is true. At the beginning, at least once you get used to it, it's okay. Yeah. But if you're there for the series, I think.

Yeah, you get used to it. You're there for a couple of years. But if you're flying and play, it's going to hit you. Have you ever thought about, does this ever happen in the NHL? Like somebody takes a razor in their hand like they're in WWE and they like cut themselves real quick to make it look like they got shot to the head.

No, but I wouldn't put it past the player in the playoffs who takes a puck or a stick to the face, or it couldn't be a puck. A stick to the face goes down and then just tries to scratch away to get blood. Oh, that's flopping. No, it's not. It's game and chip to get another two minutes.

Oh, okay. Flopping would be when that guy fucking said that his knee, well, who was that pool? It broke the code. That's a flop. When you tweet out the guy broke the code and then delete the tweet when they realized you actually hurt yourself.

Dude, you know, you never touched the inside of another man's knee. The best thing I have a hole in their pants like Billy football. You keep looking at it. It's staring right in the face. It's in my eyeball. It's literally in the same level too.

What would happen in an NHL game if somebody lightly touched the inside of your knee? Is it on site? On site. Drop the gloves. Want to go buddy? I'd still rather that than somebody pal me. Yeah.

What's the worst place to get hit by a shot? I think I asked you this last night on the stream. Yeah, nuts. Nuts for sure. You know, if you got those long dog balls that hang out of the cup and you catch a puck in the balls, you're fucked. But then once we said about, you know,

having a cup and it should be protective, top of the laces is awful. You know, you go out to block a shot. I actually- Like the shin ankle? So karma, I would flamingo occasionally flamingos are saying where you get on one leg to try to maybe hopefully not block the shot.

And then what happens is when I do it, I flamingo and then if I hadn't done it, it would have hit my shin pad but it hits the top of my feet and fucks up my feet. Actually, the way all my injuries began, I took a puck off the top, broke my big toe. It was pretty painful and it started fucking up how I walked. So you didn't flamingo? I got one in the mouth too, knocked teeth out.

That sucked. Was that kind of cool in a weird way though? Like when you actually get to spit the tooth out? No, because I actually, it pushed these two teeth in, my two front teeth, it pushed them in. So I came off the ice at the end of the game and this was in the minors and the guy said, the doctor, the dentist is there.

He's like, listen, put your mouth guard in, go home tonight, wear the mouth guard because that's how the teeth are supposed to be obviously sitting in shape. This is not a good dentist. This is perfect. I know, I was like, this is Wilkes-Bert Petsivay and I'm like, that doesn't make sense but,

all right, whatever. So I put the mouth guard in, I go home and then like three in the morning I wake up, I have a massive headache. I go in the bathroom. I look, I just take the mouth guard out and the two teeth just came right with it. So I was looking at the mouth guard

with my two front teeth sticking out. I was like, what the fuck? This guy tried to invent Invisalign. Yeah, I think his whole plan was, I'm gonna have this kid scarred for life, pulling his two, these teeth are like this long dude. When you take them out, the roots go up to your nose. So I couldn't believe it, just looking at it

but that's for dentists in Wilkes-Bert, Pennsylvania. That's the story. Oh my God, that's, yeah. That doesn't sound like it's what you're supposed to do. All right, so what series do we miss? Oh, Hurricanes. Hurricanes, Bruins, yeah. Feels like, it felt like the Bruins were dead.

Tutu now, thoughts. I've been on the Hurricanes a little bit this year in terms of saying great regular season team, unreal coach, they love Brenda Morey's intense, intense dude, but they don't have in my mind a cup contending team because they don't have a superstar. And you saw them play a team game and Aho's an awesome player, enslave it on D's, great.

They lost Freddie Anderson who could have been up for the Vezna, that sucks. So they don't have him right now but the first two games they used their entire team to win and they won easily. But what happens is you go back to Boston, Boston made some lineup changes. They threw the Chris Wagner

and who they'd sent to the miners, he's physical. They sent them in basically to go to capitate someone. They're like, we're getting pushed around. I was with a guy at home who doesn't even really watch hockey but he'll watch the playoffs. He's like, the Bruins aren't even, they don't even hitting anyone. Like I'm used to the big bad Bruins.

They've changed their game. So they made some lineup changes but the reason I bring up Carolina and I don't have any superstars because what happens, Marshawn takes over the series. So he had awful game one and two but because he's a superstar, a level player that the Keynes don't have,

he's able to take over win game three, game four he had five points. And now it's a complete series because you look at it like, I think the Bruins will probably lose game five because they really struggle and Carolina's got a great like home ice advantage so the fans are good. But I still don't know,

even if they get by the Bruins, they don't have what it takes because they don't have a game breaker. They don't have a Marshawn. They don't have a Kutcherov, Stamco's, Headman. They're just, even Ovechkin, it's like you need a next level star to win a Stanley Cup, I think.

Yeah. The Keynes, ironically enough, kind of one, one years back when they beat the Oilers without a star, there was a lot of great players. Stahl. But yeah, he was young. You could argue that they didn't have a superstar though.

Look at that, he didn't think I had that in my brain. Oh, I knew you did. Come on. I knew you did yours. It was Stahl. It was Jordan. It was Eric. Eric.

That's why I said the last name, not the first. Well, there's three of them that played like 20 years. I know, I know. Fuck. But yeah, I think that'll probably go seven. Who's most likely to win the Ryan Whitney Award this year? Guy who got traded from a team that then wins the Cup. Oh, man.

Probably Tyson Jost. Although Tyson- Do you hit him up? Is there like a club? No, I just, I leave my number in every locker and say when you're traded and then the team that trade you wins the Cup, come down to my house. We'll play some golf.

We'll have a drink and I'll walk you through this. I'll walk you through this. We'll laugh that we'll then turn into a cry and be like, no, it's no big deal. Don't worry, man, don't worry. You won't be upset about this in 20 years. You won't think about this every time the playoffs start. What was I saying?

What was I just talking about? We were actually gonna do, we had an idea. We were thinking of like episodes that we could do that like we could bank and run in the summer and one of the ideas that we tossed around was like talking to guys who got traded from championship teams. Because it's like, I don't- It sucks.

And obviously you played pro. So like that's 0.0001% of the population. You're better than everyone else like that. But did you get a raise from that? No, everyone asked me that and I wouldn't even have wanted to run. No. I think baseball does that.

Yeah. Were you rooting against them at the end? You had to have been a little bit, right? Yeah, it's so weird. I think deep down I was, but I'm not gonna lie. Like a lot of those guys I played in the minors with and I was super happy for them. But watching game seven against the wings,

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't rooting for them. Yeah, because you- It's just like, it's natural to be like, I can't- Like fuck these guys. And then when the wings, when the penguins were like closing it out, Max Talbot, two goals that game. We played together in the minors and we were same draft and everything.

I went down to my room and I was just like, oh my God. Like I was crying. I can openly admit I was like, I can't believe all of my buddies are raising the cup. And last year we'd also lost to the wings. So I was experiencing kind of both. I mean, it could have been worse. You could have been Marion Hossa,

who in the end got three with Chicago, but he left the penguins to go to the wings and then lost to the penguins. So it was tough. But I mean, looking back now, it's like people say that you have a ring. I'm like, I wouldn't even have wanted the ring. No.

I had nothing to do with it. The only thing I'd do with it is they got Koonitz, who's one of the best players because of my ass got shipped out. What you don't need to do is you need to just wait maybe like 10 or 15 more years. And then eventually people's minds will just put you on that team.

Oh no, that's already happened. Like the 85 Bears, you could have like a guy who played in the 90s like, oh, you're on the 85 Bears? Like it just happens over time. Like there's, who are we doing it? Oh, Jeff Schwartz for, remember, I think we had Jeff Schwartz on our, I talked to him once.

I was like, so it was like to win a Super Bowl. And he was like, I wasn't on those teams. Like the Giants. Yeah. It's like, all right, cool. Like I just kind of thought you weren't. Yeah, on the other side of it though, Biz was on a cup winning team.

People were like, you weren't on that team, right? There's no chance. We were like, no, I was on that fucking team. But you're in the picture, right? The beginning of your picture where they go back and they look at that team. There's Ryan Whitney right there. That's the team that we'll be on.

Yeah, and then in the DVD, I just like fade away and coon it's his face goes in. And that's how we got it done. But no, yeah, it sucks. And the funny thing about that is like, we'll do the meet and greets or check let's it be. We'll be like, man, it was great. You won that cup.

And I'm like, yeah, it was awesome. I don't even correct him now. It was so sick. I got buckled. You know, it was great to have the stream last night. Actually, this was this was Ryan's first time watching a stream with Frank Tank. I know. No, no, no, no.

Well, you got to experience his jokes for the first time. Like, yeah, I hadn't heard some of those. Yeah, well, he also tuned in. I put on the stream like five minutes into it and in what was just stuck between Frank and Stu. And he just had, you know, you maybe hadn't had a drink yet and your face. I texted him. I was like, oh, my God.

Well, by the way, I came in for one night. I didn't even really like talk that loud. I didn't think I have no voice. Merle's is like, you were sitting next to Stu and Frank the tank. I'm pretty sure you don't even realize you were just screaming over them. Right. Yeah. Right.

Frank's jokes were hit. It was it's like what we talked about at the Nets game where he had like a new audience for the first time. Yes. He hit him with the, what time is it? It's six past Igor. Yeah. That was great. Remember that? And he hates the range. That was great. Hates them.

But, but classic Frank the tank last night. I'm high five and I'm as the penguins continue to score. And after the game, he's like, I actually bet on the range. Yeah. Of course. Of course. But you were high five me as we scored. Never want to scratch ticket. No. That's what he claims.

Yeah. I mean, he literally, we then went, he claimed it like a year ago and then we went and bought like 10 of them and he won five bucks. And like, there you go. So we're like, all right, I want to scratch it. What we was talking about how like Frankie, Frankie would kill himself if it meant that

it would prevent the ranges from ever winning a cup. And then Frank the tank was like, yeah, that's right. I would. And then Whitney was like, wait, I was, Oh, this is I was talking about Frankie, Frankie Borelli, not you. And he's like, Oh, well, yeah, I would do it too. And I was like, Frank, what's your middle name?

Frank's like, it's Earl. Yeah. He's Frankie. Yeah. Frank the tank is also Frankie. I was like, PFT, do you know that? He's like, no, brand of me that worked out. And then all of a sudden tank went into, and also my middle name is Earl like the show. My name is like, what is going on right now?

Yes. Yes. Yes. He's, he's one in a billion. We got a couple of those guys run around. All right. So who was your, who was your pick before the playoffs? The lightning. I, I said, I won't pick against them till they don't win. That's smart. So I'm, I'm not changing.

I'm on the lightning. I'm on the lightning, but I'm going to be very surprised that the abs don't win the Stanley Cup. I think Maple Leafs are going to win this series. Next, next series, people are already saying the winner of Blues, Minnesota, which is very unfair. They had to play two of the best teams in the league.

They play Colorado. A lot of people are saying whoever wins will beat Colorado. I don't see it happening. I also need, I need Edmonton and Calgary because then I at least have one Canadian team in the Western Conference Final. I need Calgary to lose because I have to get my ears pierced if you're pierced, if they go for it.

You had a hoop ring. No, I'm getting a straight Barry Bones cross earring. Oh, okay. That works. Yeah. I think I'll be able to pull it off actually. That works. Mar from home alone with a hanging, hanging earring. That would be nasty. What about the whole debate that we were having last night

about the NHL being rigged? Because I think that you're insane for not thinking, I was telling them like, what does the NHL want? NHL would prefer to have caps versus penguins. One last showdown between OV. Can I give my PSA to last night? And Whitney was saying, there's no chance that any ref could ever get on the, on the horn with the league

and be like, oh, call it this way. You're misrepresenting me again. You're disinformation. This is like after, like, like four years after the Blackhawks were good, they still were on fucking 45 NBC games, you know, every Sunday. That's because they're an original six big market. My whole point to everyone, and I took the NBA out of this,

so anyone listening, NBA can be rigged. It probably is. When people say that the league wants things to happen and makes things happen, I am not denying the fact the league probably wants Crosby Ovechkin. And in the NFL, the league wants whatever, Rogers, Brady, whatever. They're not doing anything.

They're not calling referees on the side and saying, hey man, you got to make sure that the penguins win. Like people who say the league is making things happen in these games are out of their fucking minds. They have holes in their pants. Here's what I always say to it, like it's fun to do and it's fun to talk about rigged and conspiracies, right? But anyone who actually believes it,

do you know how many people would have to be involved and how many people would not be able to say anything? Like it's crazy. It wouldn't be a sports take in the world from fans. But it's a little bit like you can, you can affect the outcome of a series without affecting directly the outcome. Like for instance, if it were the NBA, you say,

okay, we need to call the game a little bit tighter. We watched the film from the refereeing in the last game and there was a lot of hand checking going on. So we need to make sure that that's going to be a point of emphasis in this next game, which then indirectly affects the team that you want to win. I think that happens naturally in a lot of sports. I did not include the NBA.

The NBA is rigged. Tim Donahue, that story went on the rug so quick. Yeah, I don't think the commissioner's saying that. It's crazy. There's no way. It's crazy talk. Because they would have to say it. This is where macro don't say it.

This is not, there's no way they're actually saying like, there are refs that call games poorly or like it will affect the game. But I don't think a commissioner's like, hey, we need to, it's a joke. It's a fun joke to believe in. But I think some people believe it. Like that guy.

I think that it's more likely than you think it is. Because all it would take would be like one director officiating or one official. That's like the go to hatchet guy for the league. That's willing to throw his entire career away. Not only the entire career, the entire league. Literally the league would cease to exist if they were like the actual league offices

is dictating who wins. But there are Rangers fans who are probably like, the league wants Crosby to win. It's like people are absolutely out of their mind to think that. You don't think that an official has ever been told? No. By like his boss who's reviewing the tape, right?

Maybe there were a couple penalties that didn't get called the game before. And those were actual missed calls. You don't think that an official could be like, this next game we need to make sure that we call it tight and that we make sure that we don't allow guys to like, hold Crosby through the neutral zone or something like that because we missed a couple of those calls last time.

Knowing that the end result would be, it's more than likely that Crosby would then advance to the next round and then more ratings on television. I'm not gonna say they might not at times be like, hey, you're missing a lot of holds. I don't think they're bringing up. Like Crosby didn't get any, like last year in the four games though,

oh, others got swept. Connor McDavid didn't draw one penalty. He's the best player in the game. If it would have ever happened, it would have been last year, there would have been like maybe game four call a penalty on McDavid. And it still didn't happen.

I am not in the camp of the leagues making calls to officials who then calling referees to be like, hey guys, we gotta make sure Pittsburgh wins this game. I agree with that entirely. I'm not saying that it's that blatant or that obvious. I would just say that there are ways that it can happen where you protect the superstars.

Well, I think protecting the superstars happens on it. So I think that's just a general referee bias that happens in all sports that you're gonna call a Tom Brady differently than you call Mike Glennon. That's just human bias. I don't think there's anything rigged about that. It's just like, why does LeBron never fall out?

Or like, why, you know, like, because it's LeBron and they call it a little bit differently. Like they will give, we always talk about like, oh, an MVP gets certain calls that everyone else doesn't get. I think that's absolutely true. But I don't think it's like a specific, hey, we gotta make sure this happens for the league.

Perfectly said. All right, I have one last question. It's a rowback question. RHO, BACK, use code take for 20% off your first purchase. Do you have any questions, Billy, for Whitney? Wow. Are you fucking serious? You didn't come with one question?

Oh my God, is this a joke? No, it's not a joke. Billy's choking right now. Jesus Christ. This is tough to watch. Hey, guys, sweet interview. How are you enjoying, how are you enjoying your Saturday? How are you enjoying my Saturday?

It's fucking Tuesday, bro. What? Holy shit, Billy? Billy, what was that? How are you enjoying your Saturday? I was totally unprepared for this. Billy's just choking. Just talk to him like a person.

Okay, I actually have another piece of evidence that there may be bias in certain sporting events. What? The scoring on the canalable ball fight. Total boxing. Boxing is a totally different boxing. If you say boxing is rigged, I completely agree with you. That is a totally different situation.

Like, that's such a nice Saturday look right now. Yeah, it is such a nice Saturday look right now. Why are we working? Why are we here, Billy? Boxing? I've just been in Vegas for a week. And I've finally been feeling a little regular. Billy, boxing is 100% rigged.

I even said it on the broadcast. I was like, I'm going to try to score this how I think they are, because I know they're going to give everything to Canelo that's 50-50. And they did. Yeah, but this is a huge hole in Billy's pants. You try to score it like a, that's like, they're like professionals.

You don't know how to score a fight. No, I was just saying who won the round. Like, I was just going along with them doing who won the round. And I was saying every 50-50 round I would give to Canelo just because I figured that's what they're doing. They ended up 115-113. The best I got to was 116-112. And I was doing everything like.

So Canelo got busted on that. Yeah, no, he showed. No, no, he was very close. If Canelo didn't, if Bivale didn't win the 12th round, it would have been a draw, which is a joke. They're so rigged. They were basically giving everything. Because Bivale won that fight no matter what.

Easily, yeah. Two piece them. Yeah. It was insane. Probably because fucking you were there and you fired him up so much. He's like, I got a win, so I never see this kid again. Saturday night, though.

Yeah, what are you up to tomorrow? Yeah. Oh, I'm watching football. Go to church. November, right? Go to church. How many rounds of golf you playing this summer? Is your elbow OK?

My elbow's great. I had surgery. That's awesome. I love golf guys who are like, got to go get surgery so I can just keep playing golf. I did every possible thing to not get surgery. I did PRP. I did physical therapy.

I didn't play golf for three months. You didn't play for three months. I was driving you crazy. Yeah. And then I came back and was still injured. And then I got another MRI. The guy's like, sorry to break. I was like, the fact I'm getting fucking surgery for golf.

Yeah, right. That's very funny. What the fuck, dude? Have you got the surgery yet? Yeah, I had it in November. Have you tried peptides? I did those. I did those post-surgery.

Oh, you did? Yeah, I think they actually helped the recovery a lot. You could have maybe done that before the surgery. I was getting like, I was getting like, what are they called, IVs and stuff with all that stuff in there? Listen, getting surgery from a golf injury is so pathetic. And I remember being done with hockey and all. I had seven-foot ankle surgeries and wrist surgery.

I was like, I'm finally done. And then I had a torn tendon in my elbow. Like, this is a joke. Right. But now that I'm back, we're really busy till the cup ends. July, August, I'll play 50 times. And you are, could you ever get, have you played in a program? I play in the program at a tournament in Boston.

It's no longer a tournament with Tony Fina. That was fun. He was a good guy. But those programs are weird. Like, people pay huge money to play with a pro. It's kind of like the pro is getting ready for the tournament. He doesn't want anything to do with you. Right, right, right.

So I play in like tournaments with my buddies and stuff, but not like programs. What's the best route you ever golfed? 65. Wow. So at 65 last year. How many, how many, how many Mulligans did you take? I took three breakfast balls.

So I guess it was a 72. How many balls do you take onto a course? Like knowing that you're going to lose some. I always have like five balls in my bag. I took 20. And you lost them all? All of them. Because I also.

And you had a caddy to go searching the desert. Well, I'm also like, if I hit it, we were playing a scramble. So I'd hit it like in the sand trap and I just wouldn't go get that. I actually think that. You're like, go get that one. No, he wouldn't get it either. I was like, you were buying Mulligan cards. The caddy would be like, oh, should I get it?

I'm like, no, just leave it, dude. I've never finished a round of golf now that I think about it. A lot of people want golf to be 14 holes. They say 14 is exactly right. Either I quit before it's over or I just lose all my balls. Or you get blacked out because it's Saturday. I lose all my balls. I'm just like, I'll drive the cart and hop in.

14 is right. Front seven, back seven. That's what people say they want. I like that. Also a question about golf etiquette. I was doing this thing and it worked. Every time Elio went to take a pot, I would go and pick up his ball and replace it.

Oh, yeah. So yeah, you like basically mark your ball with a cracker, like happy Gilmore, and then eat the cracker and not know where the ball goes. Like, why are you touching my ball? Like, you let me touch your ball. You can stop me. If anyone's listening, and if anyone's listening, you guys have about 2 million listeners.

It's crazy. I want to, I don't know why they're over in Asia and whatever they have. But why in America do we not have night golf? Yeah, night golf. And I understand the cost of like the lighting entire course. But you can get a short, you know, a 4,000, 5,000 yard 18 hole course. So they're all short par 4s or par 3s and play golf at night. Tea off at 10 o'clock with your buddies.

I want to invest in it. Somebody write me on Twitter. This is the father of two talking right now. Because you know, you can squeeze out. It's like, just let me play at 9 p.m. When the kids are asleep, wife's asleep, everything's good. I know, I'm like, but I'll still play at noon and then back at 10 p.m. I think too many people would just be pissing all over the course at night.

It would just be a free for all. Like, you get out there at night. I mean, people piss all over the course during the day, too. Yeah, usually. But you go to lunch. Billy doesn't even need to pose pants. He goes right through the hole in his pants. Night golf is great.

I love night golf. It's awesome. Just going to top golf in general at night, where you get to see the ball like flying against the night sky. Well, speaking of that, is Brandon Walker's video fake? No, it's real. So why did it come out that? Oh, we added it.

We added the fake one. We made it look fake. Oh, OK. So that was real. Yeah, that dude can pound it. He can pound it at night. It does look different. Yeah, he said he has no other game, though.

Like he said, he can just crawl. Yeah, he's a big moron. Imagine him trying to chip a ball. I love Brandon. Why don't they do like nighttime golf tournaments? Like, why doesn't the PGH Tour have a nighttime event? They did the Tiger. Remember the Tiger Phil, like in, like, oh, six or something?

Phil had lost 30 million the night before in Vegas. Yeah. Talk about a fucking fall from the graces. Oh, Jesus Christ. They say like 50 million dollars in two years. 40 million in four years, they said. It can happen. And that Billy Walters, that legendary gambler,

is coming up with a book. And I think some of the Phil stories are going to be ugly for him. Let's not shame people who lose. No, also, you have to judge it compared to his earnings, too. Like, Phil Mickelson, he could afford to lose 40 million dollars. Let's just say it can happen to anyone. I don't know if anyone can. Who lost 40 million in this show?

Big Cat? No, I didn't lose 40. But like, comparatively speaking, you can lose a lot. Oh, yeah, I've lost a lot. Yeah. But I haven't lost a lot. By the way, I don't have to cry. But the way that Big Cat said, I don't know if I've lost 40.

Yeah. Definitely implies that he's lost at least one. Sometimes I think about it like if I ever wrote a book, I could sell books just by actually sitting down and like doing the math and trying to calculate my career losses. Your wife immediately divorces you. Yeah, I never want to think about it. Well, I told you the story.

When I lost $6,000 to Elio on the golf course, she's like, you lost $6,000? And I was like, yeah. But I could have lost $10,000 if I didn't hit two awesome putts. So really, I'm up $4,000. And she's like, that's not how it works. I'm like, that's exactly how it works. That's a gambler's mind.

That's exactly how it works. That's how gamblers do it. All right, Whit, thank you. You're the best. Anytime, boys. Anytime. I'm going to need you back on before the cup. Yeah, maybe me and Biz will come in here together.

Yes. During the cup. That would be great. We did that. That feels like 10 years ago. Yeah, I know. We need to have both of you. That was awesome.

Those are two hours. Yeah, I love it, boys. I love it. I appreciate it. And all you guys keep crushing it. How come you never invite our A's? What do you mean? You never invite our A.

You guys never invite our A. How am I going to invite some of you? You're show, you dummy. That's also true. All right, he's invited. All right, please.

Henry? Yes. Do it. Hey, thick cat, fighter pilot, PFT, King Honk, Dip Guy, Jake, and Camp Edge 275, Billy. Nope, that's not what that person is. Billy, you had zero pounds last Tuesday. What did you all want to do as a career prior to Bar Soul

and what led you into podcasting? I want to be an astronaut. Yeah, I mean, you go back far enough like baseball player. I think that was my first. I think I want to be a baseball player when I was like six. I went for Halloween as just like a kid with a bat for five years in a row. Yeah.

I got really into selling used dogs for a while in Austin. That was kind of my thing. I really just didn't know what I wanted to do. You know, everyone gets to that point in their late 20s where they're like, all right, what am I going to do? Is this going to be my career? So yeah, I mean, I didn't really have. I wouldn't say I had many dreams outside of anything.

I thought maybe I'd go to law school, then I was like, I'm not smart enough. Thought maybe I'd go to business school. I took a GMAT class and I just spent the entire time gambling in the back row. Yeah. In college. In college, they gave me one of those placement tests

because I was a junior and I was still undeclared for my major because I didn't know what I wanted to do at all. The Rex Ryan. Yeah, the one that he scored was an estate record in the history of Maryland for problem solving. No, they were just like, okay, fill out all these questions. And then I had the widest variety of possible jobs that I could be in.

And so I was like, well, this made me more confused about what I want to do. And I just wanted to get a degree. And then I'm like, I'll figure it out afterwards. And then I think for a while I wanted to be a comedy writer. And I started doing a little bit of that. You lose track of time when you work with a team. Sometimes it's hard to get everybody on the same schedule.

Then I think a lot of people just throw up their hands and they get an office job and they're like, okay, I guess I need to make money, which is what I did. Yep. And so then I was, you know. That's what I hated. That's what I hated. Pig office, Hank.

And then, you know, one thing leads to another and sometimes you find your way back to the thing that you love to do. Billy still wants to be a finance bro deep down. No, my, my OG list was NFL player. Number one, if that didn't work out, Navy SEAL number two. And then wait, just so everyone knows, you'd still give it all up to be a Navy SEAL.

Yes. Which you can right now. Then I think probably wouldn't pass the background check. You've been hanging out with the Russians for too long. No, but yeah, that's true. No, but number three was then Army Ranger. If I could be a Navy SEAL. And then I think I didn't have any plans under number four.

Great job shutting Pivot down for that question. That was very discreet. Anyway, but like realistically, before the pandemic, I wasn't even asking about Putin. I was like, I was like, I was like, who texted him after the game? Shut up before the shut up, shut up, shut up. Stop, stop, stop.

Don't make him say, I wasn't asking about Putin. I mean, realistically, before the pandemic, I was on track to be in real estate finance, probably a mortgage broker. You're on track. I was. And then I literally, then I was just like, I didn't make it.

I was like, fuck it. I would love to just see a different sliding doors, sitting down and trying to make the biggest purchase of your life and Billy football is sitting across from your table, the table being like, all right, here's what we can get you into. Billy's like, you're fixed. Billy's like, listen, this, I know that this school

or this home that you're looking at is really close to the school that you want your kids to go to. I know it checks off everything that you need, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, but I found this other sick one that's got a chicken coop. Yeah, I was, I was actually more packaging my family. Yeah, Billy would have been the perfect, perfect guy to help bring the entire world to its knees in 2008

with subprime. You would have definitely been like, I'm just fucking rolling it. Killing it. Like the times will never stop. I got six houses and I don't even pay a dollar on it. Dude, you like working during that, right? I was actually watching a movie about that the other day.

Loki, you don't even need a job to get this loan. Bro, all you need to do, all you need to do is just have a credit card and you can get a $6 million house. I'm finishing up my senior year at the University of Oklahoma. So I'm about to graduate pretty nervous for the upcoming year. Wanted to ask you guys, what's one best piece of advice you could give to someone graduating college? I think we've started with Billy.

Yeah, we started with Billy. Make sure you graduate. Yeah, that's good. That's number one. I think we talked about this on one of the life episodes. But I'm a big proponent. Before you graduate, go take a road trip with all your boys. Just hop in the car.

It doesn't matter where. But you will always remember that. Like go pick a weekend. Just go anywhere. And you'll have a fucking awesome time and you'll remember it forever. My best advice would be, you're going to be in the same class as a lot of people

that go on to do what seemed like really impressive things within the first couple of years after graduating. Maybe they get a job in a sector that pays them a lot of money. Don't compare yourself to them. You're going to feel like you have to compare yourself to them. Be like, why is my career not necessarily at the same level as this person's?

That person just found themselves in a different situation. It doesn't mean anything for the course of your life. What you do in your 20s can be ultimately inconsequential to what happens for the rest of your life. So don't rush into being an adult too quick. Like for instance, when Billy becomes a Navy Seal at 33, he'll be like, it doesn't matter that I podcasted through my 20s.

Exactly. Billy, why did you have Navy Seals ahead of Army Rangers? Oxide was a really good swimmer. I'm a very good swimmer. Still. Like I was in middle school, I was sick of swimming, but then I got bored because basketball was cooler in high school.

And I was like, I want to play basketball. Right. OK, I want to just be running around in bathing suits with a bunch of dudes. Right, but you'd be doing that a lot in the Navy Seals. They're not in Speedos, though. Can we figure out a way to get Billy to go to Bud's training for a week?

That would be an incredible video. Chef Donny did it. Yeah, like let's have you do it. I think that there's like a decent chance that Billy would die. I want to see him drown, the part where they make you drown and then revive you. I can hold my breath for 50 yards in a pool.

It'd be great if then like glass shatters, they bring Billy out to revive him and then me and PFT show up and we just grab everyone off of him. This is how he wanted to go out. A Navy Seal. Press F to pay respects. I'm going to give memes of C minus for picking some of these questions.

Very basic. This one, though. Subdad of 2Cat, PF3C, Handsome Hank, Best in the Office, Jake, and Billy Feetball. What are the plans for the show when Big Cat moves to Chicago? Oh, good question. Oh. I'm going to quit.

So part of my take is, I think, what, eight months from now? Yeah. No, no, I haven't moved for another year. You have one year to listen to the show. And then everyone's leaving. And Big Cat's also going to quit doing the show. Yes. I'm actually going to become a Navy Seal.

So the show is going to end. And I'm going to, yeah, I'm going to become a rocket scientist. Everything will work out. Yeah. Trust. We don't know exactly. Yeah. We'll figure it out.

The times and the locations and when things are going to happen that's still kind of up in the air right now. But I can tell you that part of my take will continue. Yes. Don't worry about it. This is why you make sure you graduate. That was a joke. OK.

I'm missing the joke. Yeah, what's the joke? Because we're quitting and he's going to need to find a job. Oh, OK, yeah. You know what? Oh, so we had already moved on to saying, don't worry, guys. We're still going to do it. It was a joke.

Billy, fortunately, he's got an education he can fall back on. Part of my take will continue. We're going to be fine. There's a, I love you, Billy. I will say, like, there's a pretty good chance I'm going to move to Chicago. Yeah, but there's no, nothing said in stone. Right.

And there's no pressure. I, you know, there's, it's, it's, we're going to, we're going to, it will always be a priority for me and for PFT and for everyone in this room. So no matter what, we'll figure it out and we'll be OK. And yeah, we'll be OK because we, we are very, we're very proud people about our content. So we'll never do anything that will make that suffer.

I think that would be the best answer. Don't you worry. That's it. Yeah. All right. And just the verbal meme, it's all the AWLs sleeping at night and it's Billy getting all the knives in his back, taking it for you.

Just remember, while you're sleeping, Billy's out doing, God knows what to my Uber rating. Yeah. Remember when Billy got kicked off Uber? So when you, yeah, that's, here's the thing about Billy is that, like, even when he's trying to make a joke about something, he's literally telling on himself or doing something that kicked off Uber. You got suspended from Uber for like a year.

Oh, no, that was Hank. My bad, that was Hank. Sorry, Billy. That joke was a good joke. That was a good joke, Billy, but it was just, it was like, you'd said it after the part where we were joking about it being over. With the timing. I was working on timing.

I didn't have a good place to interject. I didn't know where that was going. Billy's coming off a long weekend right now. You thought it was his first Saturday show. Oh, yeah, you know, you know, because the what Ryan Whitney ending was something else. You should have seen a Hank. Let me ask Billy to ask a question to Whitney.

And he just goes, um, uh, uh, so how's your Saturday? And we're like, what? Tuesday. No, I should have asked him why hockey players don't play in Canada. Like the good ones that they win. But retrospect, uh, if you want to hear about my time in Vegas, beer and clothing in Las Vegas blog, the next American blog, bloggy, not blog vol is airing on Barstool Sports.

It should be up by the time you hear this. It's a good piece of writing. Billy, can I just say something for real? It's the Mexican American blog vol. Billy, I like blogology. Or what was it? Blogology. Yeah, I'll break the calligraphy.

I'll break the character real quick. I was very proud of you for like the entire Dizon fight and everything you did. You did great content. I was an awesome thing. I'm just really told me Billy was scared to drink and I was so proud. Yeah, wow.

Yeah, I was in Vegas for a week. But yeah, no, you were, you were tested like Billy football was tested and he passed the test. And he did a great, great job with all that. I was going to suggest putting you on that medication that makes you throw up if you drink alcohol. Like just something to get into your stuff. We should get him that Caleb got that stomach surgery

because he had like a bad stomach, not the Rex Ryan stomach surgery, but if Caleb throws up, he dies. What? Yeah, you didn't know that? He could die if he throws up. That's terrifying. Yeah. That would, if I had that surgery,

I would just throw up from the stress. Yeah. About thinking about not throwing up. So we need to get that for Billy. OK. Why? So then you can't drink to the point of having to throw up. Wait, well, I'm not going to fucking make you get a surgery.

You don't need Billy. I don't know. We should make Billy. We should make you get the shin lengthening surgery to get you up to like six foot seven. In Billy's defense, I did also just say that we're going to have him do buds training and kill him. So you're fair to be like, I don't want this surgery.

That's how we would want to go out. Yeah. All right. Numbers. I'm going to go 17. 8, 22. That's 17. I'm going to go 21.

What? 25. 69. Here about my 69 is my new number. Blackjack Hot Street in the next Great American Bloggology. What is that? Oh my god.

Oh my god. 21. No fucking way. I'm on the greatest hot streak ever. I'm on the greatest hot streak ever. Holy shit. 21. Rich strike.

Yeah. Dude. Just so you know, Billy, you're not moving to Chicago with us. I know. Just kidding. That was a joke. Love you guys. Hell yeah, Billy.

What a hot streak. Oh, I'm taking this hot streak to Barstool Icasino and Hoboken Blackrock. We're going to be there on Wednesday night. Greenrock. Blackrock is a real estate company. Isn't Blackrock the company that like kills people? No, it's Blackwater.

That's Blackwater. Blackrock is buying up all the houses and making people. They are also killing people. Yes. Got it. Killing Middle America. I can't believe that was fucking 21. Yeah, that's crazy.

Do you have an animal fact, Billy? Yes. Unspade ferrets will die if they don't get pregnant. Love you guys. Damn. They'll die of stress. Yeah, it's a big time bonk for ferrets. I'm talking away while I'm the one I'm to say I'm saving way.

Today's another day to find you, shying away while I'm coming for your love of cake. Take on me. Take me on. I'll be gone in a day or two. Needless to say, I'm all the same here. But I'll be stolen a little way further than my wife is OK. Say out to me, it's no better to be safe than sorry.

Take on me. Take me on. I'll be gone in a day or two. How things that you say is delightful just to play my worries away. You're all things I've got to remember. You're shying away. I'll be coming for you anyway. You're shying away.

I'll be coming for you anyway. Take on me. Take me on. I'll be gone in a day. I'll be gone in a day.
