And Scottie Schaeffler has won the master Scottie Schaeffler who was once referred to by his friend Henry Higgs. Is that his name? Maybe I might have screwed that up. He said Scottie Schaeffler is about as boring as they come in the best way. Congrats. Yeah, Scottie Schaeffler's cousin. What a legend. What a legendary performance. We won't forget just because of it being so extremely forgettable. We'll always be like, you know what? This was the masters where Sunday was meaningless. He played well at the

start of the round. It looked like he was going to get in some trouble early. He's good at scrambling. I've learned a few things about Scottie Schaeffler today. One, he's good at scrambling. Yep. Two, he went to high school with Clayton Kershaw and Matt Stafford. Same high school 15, 20 years later. They actually, it is literally the fun fact that has outlasted all fun facts. We thought it was going to be Antonio Gates or Jimmy Graham or maybe even Chris Hogan playing lacrosse. No, no, it is Clayton Kershaw and Matt Stafford because during the broadcast on Sunday, they found a way to work that in. And it actually, recurring guests, Mitchell Schwartz pointed out, Scottie Schaeffler, kind of a loser that he doesn't have a teammate of his that also

won a huge major championship, a Super Bowl or World Series. So that's true. He was a little, maybe, maybe there is somebody that went there, but he was just such a nerd that he wasn't friends with us. Yes. Yes. But yeah, it's, he's a very forgettable guy, except this is important for me personally. Fun fact about Scottie Schaeffler. He's deathly afraid of heights. Oh, representation matters. Yes. I like to think that maybe we did our part here on this show recognizing it as a legitimate concern. Scottie's finally free to be himself. Yes. Let that freak flag fly. Congratulations, Scottie. The fourth thing I had about Scottie Schaeffler is he just reminds me of every dude I've ever met from the Dallas, Texas kind of area where it's like you're 25, but you look like you're 35 and

you got married when you were 23. And you just got your shit together better and you're really good golfer. Yeah. That's every guy I've ever met from Dallas. He looks like a medium good accountant. That's pretty good at golf. Yeah, like some, some dude you meet who went to TCU and he's 25, he's got a, he's already got a kid, a wife, and he's like, like way progressed in his career as an accountant. He's like, fuck, he's got his shit together. I actually think that most people get into the field of accounting. They, it's kind of like one or the other, how much are you going to maximize your accounting ability versus how much are you going to maximize your golf playing ability? Right. He just probably sucks at numbers. Right. He just hates math. So

he could have been that guy. He could have been that guy. And I'm talking to a specific guy who's nodding his head right now and being like, yup, that's me. And that's not a knock. No. It's like for some reason, maybe it's just the people I've met from Dallas. They all have their shit together a lot earlier in life. And it feels like they're just older at a younger age. Yeah, he was probably a caddy when he was 20 years old in like the summer after his sophomore year. And he started his 401k with like $2,000 that he made then. That compound interest. So we were robbed from a few things on Sunday. One, we were robbed from any drama, but more importantly, we were robbed. Cam Smith, it felt like he was going to maybe compete even to a point like, I don't know,

somewhere in the back nine, he got it to three strokes and then he went right into the drink. He'd birded 11 and then he birded 11 and then he went in the drink. And but we were really robbed of PFT doing an Australian accent for the beginning of the show and probably for the next like six months. Honestly, every time Cam Smith was going to be in the news, I was rooting so hard for Cam Smith, number one, because he's Australian. And you could have done the accent. I could have done the I really just have a soft spot for Australia. Anyone that's listening to the show for any period of time knows that to the mullet and the mustache combo. I'm pretty sure that like there's rules at Augusta National. They're like the Yankees. Yeah, where if you show up wearing

that if it's if you're not competing in a major tournament, they just show up there with a mullet and that dirty blonde mustache, they're allowed to shoot you. The security force at Augusta is allowed to put you down like a dog. He was he was a fun guy to root for was not meant to be. There is a little bit of a witch hunt, however, that we can do on Scottie Scheffler. Oh, I'm sure Scottie's a nice guy. I'm sure he's like a nice guy. Everyone seems to like him. No one has a bad move about him. About as boring as they come in the best way. That was from one of his good friends, Henry Higgs. I didn't nail that name. So on Saturday, he hit I think was on 18 hit his drive into the woods. Yep. And he had to like crawl and need some branches to find it. And he said that

he was looking for, I think a title is seven. And the ball that he said that he found clearly had the number six on the side of it. So there are a lot of golf solace. Now, if we were to rewind like six years back to when it was legal for people to like call up and report rule violations, because I guess the USGA just like deputized every American that was watching TV to be like auxiliary officials. Some people were saying that it's not the right ball, that maybe he signed an incorrect scorecard on Saturday. So Rory. So Rory might be. So cast my bet because I did the thing when you're watching a tournament where you're like the guy who's winning. Like he can't win. Like he can't win like this. So you just bet everyone underneath him. Yep. And it turns out

he just wins like this. He just went even though he four punted on 18. He four punted on 18. Under's club got got absolutely ruined. Rory, by the way, had the shot of the tournament probably on 18. He went bunker to bunker. And then Sir Nick Faldo completely ruined it. Some like the fact that they get to watch it before us. And then he says, watch this. He's like, you wouldn't believe this. Like, well, actually, we do believe it because you told us it was going to happen with the gallery blew up. The gallery was screaming. He was like, oh, you're not going to believe what just happened. And it's like, no, we can believe it because guess what? You told us it was going to be incredible. And then it happened. And then Nance like one upped him with Morikawa. The next

one is like, oh, you want to spoil it? I'll spoil it, which really it was just basically a dick measuring contest between the two of them who could spoil it more. And the only people that lost was like the millions of people at home trying to gain any type of drama out of Sunday at Augusta. Yeah. Yeah, they really ring that out. I don't think that if Nick had had not, excuse me, Sir Nick Faldo had not ruined it. I don't think that Jim Nance does it. I think you're right. I think he was just like, OK, you did it. I'm going to have my shot at it. Yeah, like we can both play this game. Also, I mean, Max almost hunted down Tiger. They were neck and neck. We got to talk about Max on Sunday. Well, Max made the cut. That's a big deal. Max made the cut at him at

Augusta. He guaranteed he's going to make the cut. Positive vibes worked. I was just, I felt like Gary V on steroids on Friday. I was just looking for memes about positive thinking. I tweeted him a Winnie the Pooh meme at one point being like, this got to work. But he made the cut. I think next year, our strategy should not be to put so much onus on making the cut because I think Max thought the tournament ended after he made the cut. Yeah. Because the way he played after he made the cut. And again, we did positive vibes only, but now we can speak honestly. The way he played after he made the cut was disgusting. And he should probably turn in his tour card. He was neck and neck with the greatest golfer that's ever played the game. He was really, we've always talked

about the pressure. He talked about the pressure that you feel when you're playing next to Tiger Woods. And he was. He was playing next to Tiger. So he only lost to Tiger by one stroke. Think like one behind or a head. That's what I mean by next to. They were not around him. They were in the same area. They could see each other. The line of sight was clear. And he had a lot of pressure on him and they max proof the course. They don't allow cell phones. And that's Max's biggest strength. Yeah. He did own up to it though. He said afterwards. So on Saturday, he played poorly and we're like, it can't get worse than this. And he went on Twitter and was like, guys, guess what? It's not going to get worse than this. He said, today was a bummer, but tomorrow I get to play

the final round at the masters. And that's pretty damn cool. Even if positive vibes only has ended after Friday, I'll be shooting under par tomorrow. Let's get it. Hashtag golf, uh, narrator voice. He did not shoot under par. What did he shoot? Like fucking 10 over, 10 over. Yeah. Take away the one. Yeah. He almost shot on their par. He did cut. He did say maybe the worst prediction of all time afterwards. So shout out Max for that. I, listen, Max is our friend. Um, as, as much as he embarrassed this podcast on Saturday and Sunday, all weekend, just getting dragged. Like I was, we could talk about tiger in a second, but I said something about tiger and people were just like, what about your boy Max? Like, dude, I didn't, I didn't sign up to defend his terrible golf. That's bullshit.

I did positive vibes to get him to Saturday and Sunday. What he does after that, that's not part of the deal, but I'm going to, I'm going to help out Max. I have, I've had worse predictions. I'm sure there's many, many, but someone reminded me of it. I think is, I think it's, uh, I can't remember his Twitter name is Karen something Karen a two six. Yes. So, uh, on, on, uh, December 20th, 2020, someone tweeted me bucks to the Superbowl and I quote to you and I said, no, they're frauds. They ended up winning the Superbowl, not only getting there, but winning it. So see Max, we all have bad predictions. Yeah. I've never had one. Yeah. I'm pretty good about that. I knew that Max was going to, it was all written ahead of time. We knew what was going to happen.

Max made making the cut his Superbowl and I'm very proud of him. He won his personal Superbowl. Now next time, I think next major, let's see if we can shoot at par or underneath in the third round and then we'll let the chips fall where they may on Sunday. Yeah. But we got to, we got to like ease our way into this. It, it, once it happens, it happens all at once. Scottie Scheffler had not won a PGA tournament until this year. Now he's won like four out of six. Yes. And I, the dude is insane right now. I do think we should probably go back to just being mean to him. He seems like he performs better when he's playing like the NFT open and shit. So we got to just go back to that. Well, how long until the next major? This is where Max goes on a little run.

Yeah. He's, yeah. The next week, when all the guys who competed for the masters are like, no, I'm taking a week 19th PGA championship. That's going to be the fifth major. Where is it? Tulsa. Oh, he's going to suck. He's going to be terrible. And then the U.S. opening in June is in Boston. He's going to be terrible in that too. Yeah. Brookline. Excuse me. He's going to be fucking awesome. I feel like he's going to be terrible. Pencil in like the, uh, the weekend of the NBA finals, whatever weekend that's going to be in. That's when Max is going to win some bullshit tournament. Yeah. We'll be watching game one of the NBA finals and people will be tweeting us like, dude, what about your boy Max?

There's a fucking golf right now. It'll go into like quadruple overtime. It'll be the best game instant classic ever. Max is going to like shoot bogey golf on his, on his last 18 and win the tournament back into it. But we got to get our mind right. We'll be fine. We love Max, even though he sucks. We love him. We do. We genuinely like, you can love someone when they just suck at their job. Billy's here. That was, that was, that was too easy. I set myself up for that. I'm sorry. Billy doesn't suck at his job. We also love Will Zell Taurus. Yes. And he played well on Sunday except another heartbreak. He not finishing top five was just, I had the friends, the friends of the program by, uh, bet. Whereas Willie Z Brooks, who Brooks actually didn't,

he withdrew from the masters. He beat Bryson. He beat Bryson. So did Sandy Lyles and Brooks was also clearly not feeling a hundred percent. He's basically still on one leg. It's, it's again, I don't want to go back and pass here, but like the fact that Brooks even tried to play is hero. Like, come on. I saw Tiger doing his fake limp. Brooks could barely walk. He got taken out in an ambulance. You didn't see that on Friday. So Brooks will be fine. But yeah, the, um, that the, the bet was Will Zell Taurus, Max Homo or Brooks Kepka combined. One of them has to finish top five. So that's just how my weekend went. Will Zell Taurus has maybe the best golfer forehead then of all time. When he takes that cap off, it's worse than Stuart Sink. When he takes

the hat off, it's just like a pasty forehead. He's got literally like a two-tone. It looks like the ice cream that you dig into where it's like vanilla on top and then caramel second layer. Yeah. That's like his forehead is gradient. I, can I ask a question about Scotty Schaffler, because we should probably, I mean, we're going to talk to Scott Van Pelt. So big, big weekend for Scotty's. Would you, would you qualify him as a Haas? He might be a Haas. No, I don't think he's a Haas. John Rom is a Haas. He's a beast. He might be a Haas, dude. He's a Haas. I don't think he's a Haas. I've got the Haas looking his eyes. You know what? He might be a Haas. He's a big boy. I think he's a, I think he's a Bubba. I think he's a big Bubba. No, if you chip in, like he chipped

in and don't even celebrate, like that's a big Haas energy. I think so. He was locked in. John Rom, by the way, like dude, you got to find a better shirt. Like Bubba's are, I mean Bubba, Bubba fucking has the like hover cart. You're not going to see Scotty Schaffler on like a hover craft rolling around the 18th green like Bubba. You're right. I probably won't see that. No, but he does. You know what I'm talking about? Scotty Schaffler has. Then he do that to Bubba Watson do that. Yeah. Yeah. The golf boy. Scotty Schaffler has like, it's like a little bit of, he almost kind of looks a little bit like Jim Tomi. Like a little bit of a Haas country strong. He's got the big face. He's a little Adam Dunn-ish. Yeah. He's definitely, oh, you know what he

looks like? He looks like that dude from the video that kept going viral this week and the guy that stepped out and did the country line dance. Shuffling his feet around a little bit. No, that guy is way more of a Haas than Rico. Yeah, though it didn't look like Scotty Schaffler at all. It looked like Rico. But yeah, Scotty Schaffler. He looked like Spieth's older brother and they're both from Dallas. Like he looked like, yeah. So we should talk. If he was from Fort Worth, I would say he's a Haas. But you know what, like he's actually New Jersey. New Jersey should claim him. He should claim him. Jersey hasn't had a lot of dubs recently. He's a Haas. I think I'm going to tag him with Haas. I bet on him and I was like, you know, watching him very carefully and he had

big Haas energy. He was the way he was like not celebrating and just dialed in. And then a quote came out today that he said he broke down in his wife's arm this morning crying and he said he didn't think he was big enough for the moment. And so to do that and then to come out and just be fucking. She looked him in the eyes like you're a Haas. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's actually exactly how it happened. He also had like there were people, golf, Twitter, like when I step into golf, Twitter, it's it's scarier than stepping into like UFC, Twitter, soccer, Twitter. There were though some pictures of like his follow through that I guess was bad form. That's Haas energy where it's like not people like this is the guy leading the Masters and his

hands were all fucked up and everything. But he was just crushing. He's got a very compact swing is what they were saying about him. And there were some golf like purists that were saying that his swing is not good. So that's not it's not like sustainable for him to do it. It's been sustainable for the last month and a half. That's that's pretty good. He's on a very hot streak. So before we talk about Tiger, let's talk about our hypothetical and it's brought to you by our friends at TaylorMade.

Head over again, TaylorMadeGolf.com slash Barstool Sweeps right now for your chance to win big. I'm going to get some TaylorMade clubs. I'm going to start golfing

again, probably not, but I'm going to try. I'm going to try. I'm going to play two rounds of golf this summer, which is huge. There's a nine hole course that right, right near me, bro. I play, I play the black tips. Is that what it is? No, that's just say, just say play for the tips. I'll say the tips. Yeah. But I'm going to try to play golf again because I do love playing golf. I just don't have any time to do that. But TaylorMadeGolf.com slash Barstool Sweeps. And we bring this up because once I have my TaylorMade clubs, we could really do this hypothetical. The hypothetical was Scotty Schaeffler stepping up to the 18th tee box at Augusta with a five stroke lead. Is that right? Five stroke lead. It's a par four. He's got to hit a eight to win the masters. And the hypothetical was

could an average golfer step up under the exact same circumstances and get an eight to win the masters. I thought it was nine. Nine was to tie for playoff. Oh, that's a big difference. Yeah, you said a nine though. But I think it's, I think it's, now that I'm doing the math in my head, we're adjusting the rules. Well, no, yeah, no, we're not adjusting the rules. We're adjusting the scores. I mean, I got to, I got to recalibrate my calibrating. I said I would hit 13 if lucky. Most people said no, no chance with the pressure with everything with the, with the golf with the, what the one guy say, all you got to do is get on the right plane of the green at Augusta. And you could play bogey golf. He said that he played so much on video games. He'd be able to do it.

You have to, you think you can putt your way to an eight on the 18th hole? I think I could do it, by the way. 25% yes, 75% no. No chance. I could, I could do it. I got the clutch, Gene. I could do it with a putter. It's got to hit it. I would putt every single shot. Four or 65 yards. I've simulated the hole. I did like the guided walkthrough of the hole on YouTube a few minutes ago and checked it. It's mostly downhill from the start. Then it goes uphill later, but I'm just focused on a downhill part. I need to know some things about the conditions. Is it like today? Perfect conditions. What am I hitting? Like a Pro V one? No, it'd be a Taylor man. It'd be a Taylor mate. I go, I go putter off the deck, off the tee box. Off the tee? No, off the deck.

In golf terms, it means no tee. Yeah. And then, then I just go putter the entire time. I end up hitting eight, maybe nine. I honestly, I think I could do it. Which shot do you get to the green on? My putter. No, but like, how many putts do you have from the green? I think I get to the green. I have to two putts. So when you hit your putter, you hit your putter, what, 100 yards? Like 50 to 70? So 50 to 70 means if you hit it 70, you get to the green in seven shots. And then a two putt for the nine. Okay, all right, got it. No, I also, pin placement matters. Is the pin, is it, is it attackable? No, it's Sunday pins. All right, if the pin's attackable, if it's center green, I think I could do it in eight. If it's back right, that might be an eight

or a nine. I think I could do it. All right. I know I can't do it. We've tried this before. And we pulled it up. We pulled it up. Watch PMTV, which will be out on Tuesday, on the YouTube channel. Subscribe. By the way, the YouTube's are out right away. So if you're listening right now, you can go watch us. We went and pulled up the footage and it was a 265 yard hole that you did it in. Four 65 is a little bit different. Well, it wasn't a 285 yard hole. It was, I had already hit my driver like into the woods off the tee. Like 100. And then Tony Scheffler was like, bet you can't make it from here on out in like nine strokes or less using just your putter. And this is also not Augusta. I'm pretty good hitting my putter for distance. That's

probably my strong, honestly, like if I tee off with a driver, I might as well just throw my ball into the woods. Yeah, it's a negative. Even though I do it all the time, like when I'm golfing, I'm going to take, I'm going to let the big dog eat off the tee, even though it's going to bite me in the ass. I just go putter the entire time. I think I go 13. I would, I documented, I'd slice it into the woods. I would hit it into a tree. Then I hit it out onto the fairway. Then I'd probably have to smoke a bowl because my nerves would be going crazy. We'd have to take a time out. Sir Nick Faldo would have to like ruin the Sopranos that asshole. Then I'd hit one good shot. Piece of shit. Yeah, piece of shit. One good shot. Then I'd just go bunker, bunker,

maybe like, oh, like a, sorry, a sand wedge that I can't hit for shit for five yards, then another one on, then I'd put like five times 13. So my strategy is basically just designed to avoid all the hazards. If I get in the bunker, I'm fucked. But if I just hit the, I was looking at the fairway too, I was like, okay, there's shot one, there's shot two, shot three, I'm going to have to split these bunkers. That's going to be tricky. I don't think you know how far I can hit my putter big cap. I've watched it. My putter game. I watched you do it. It was eight shots on 265 yards. But I had to also recalibrate my last couple of shots because I was on the green. Right. But that, but the greens on a gusts are pretty hard. So it'd roll. No, I'm, yeah, you'd roll back off

and you'd have to hit it back on. I don't know. I feel like I was saying, I don't, I legitimately don't think if you started on the opposite edge of the green as the whole, I don't know if you could nine putt. Yeah. No. And by the way, this was not, you're not factoring how much harder a regular green is versus the green. You're acting like it's a hypothetical where it's like, could you, you're acting like it's one of those hypotheticals where it's like, could you get seven yards on a carry in the NFL? This is completely different. It's completely different. But the best part is it was, it was not said in shtick. It was like an honest moment where we're like, yeah, I could do that. I could do it. I could do it. Yeah. Easy. I mean, they let dude

perfect desecrate and piss all over the course. Letting me try this at Augusta, I feel like would be way classier than that. Three more years and we'll probably be on Augusta. So we should talk a little tiger. Tiger went from, could he actually win this thing on Thursday? And don't, listen, I had the thought and I know a lot of people said the thought. So I don't want the goalposts to move. I had tiger fans up my ass. I said that watching him on Sunday was a little depressing because he was clearly like injured and he was playing the worst he's ever played at Augusta. I get the counterpoint like just having him out there is great. And it was, but that went quickly from watch out for tiger to I'm just happy he's alive. Well, he can still play one round,

but it turns out that there's a lot of walking turns out that there are hills and sht that you need to move your ankles on. And yeah, so he's just sore, very, very sore by the day after it was over. He was like meeting with his family trying to walk up those hills after 18. He looked like, like he wanted to cut his own leg off. Yeah. It, yeah, it looked painful. And that was my point was like, it's not fun watching him in pain, like struggle. I think there was a stretch. I think it was four, five, six or something where he had never went bogey, bogey, bogey at Augusta there. And he did that on Sunday. So I listened. I get that a lot of people are just very happy. He's back. I count myself as one of them. I also would love to see him back like competing and not

in pain. It does mean that he's probably going to play and he, I think he already said he's going to play at the British open, the open, the open championship, excuse me, maybe the U S open more tigers better. Yes. I did though. I, so I was watching it. I was getting depressed, watching him limp around. And so I just went instead and looked up some tiger stats to make me feel good. So I just threw a couple out there in 1997. So today's masters was very boring. In 1997, Tiger won the masters by 12 strokes. Yep. He was minus 18. The second place was minus six. They had the, I think that was when they had the special on before too. Yeah. Jim Nance. Yeah. He was, that was his first, that was his first major tournament win. He had a nine shot

lead going into Sunday. He was so good in that tournament that they had to change the entire course because they said, well, tigers are going to win every single master's tiger for 20 years. Yes. He, uh, he in, sorry. Oh, he won seven majors by three shots or more in his career from 1997 to 2009 in majors combined. Tiger went, uh, 134 strokes under par. The second person in those like majors combined 1997 to 2009 was Phil plus 99. Think about that. Pretty incredible. 134 under par combined. The second place person was plus 99. And the last stat, which is awesome, is he has, he's third all time in European tour wins with 41 and he's never played full time on the European tour. That's insane. That's awesome. That's my tiger fund stats. The difference was

this time we kind of had to recalibrate how we think about Tiger Woods because, uh, this was for the first time ever, the some things are bigger than sports. Yes. Round that tiger had, whereas previously like literally nothing was more important to Tiger Woods than Tiger Woods playing good at Augusta, right at the master's. And it was like, there were some times when it felt, I don't know, the whole like, uh, monster energy drink sponsoring his bag. I don't know if that's something that tigers had for a while. It felt a little weird. Like, like it was almost like beneath tiger where it's like, if you see Jimmy, Jimmy Carter hawking cryptocurrency, right? It's like tiger with a monster bag. And that was the part where I was getting slightly bummed out because

he got in the red on Sunday. So there was, it felt, Oh man, I've seen this before. This is awesome. Good memories flashing back. And then it's like, Oh wait, it's, he's playing it like, you know, one o'clock in the afternoon. He's in the back night at one o'clock in the afternoon. This is weird. Yeah. Nothing, nothing, nothing about this really like fits my memories of Tiger Woods. Yeah. But it was great to have him back. It was good to have him back. Yeah. They should have just let him tee off later on in the day, just so we get that consistency. Well, they should have just let him go up against Scotty Schaeffler just to intimidate him because then we would have had drama. That would have been great if we're just like, Oh, you know what, a new rule, because

Augusta can make any rules they want new rule. Tiger just gets to start with whatever the leader's score is on Sunday. Yeah. And then all time quarterback. And then also after they put the green jacket on Scotty Schaeffler, dude, perfect comes out and the twins spray him down with a super soaker. Perfect. That's exactly what we need. But yeah, great masters love masters week. We're going to talk more with Scott Van Pelt in a minute about masters week. Before we get to who's back, we should, we should at least mention the tragic passing of Dwayne Haskins. That was very, very sad on Saturday. You know, he were huge football fans. Obviously he played for, he drafted and played for the Redskins commanders, what football team, but very, very sad. Anyone

who, you know, any death that happens that early in life is very tragic. But then when you also just think about like how his story and it felt like he was coming back and all these things, it's just really, really sad. He was so young. I think he was like 24, 25. Yeah. It's tragic. There's really nothing else that you can say about it. Besides like, it's you feel for his wife or his family. It sucks. It sucks. I mean, I don't want to get into a thing where we're talking about the different takes that came out. Well, but I will say that what Gil Brandt said when he called into that radio show, it, it was eerily similar to what like Colin Coward and Mike Wilbon were saying about Sean Taylor when he was in the hospital after he got shot. It's just like some people just

need to realize that like there's a human being that has a family that's going through this right now. I think a weird thing happens in 2022 on Twitter. Like the Gil Brandt thing was appalling. Like you said, we don't have to go into like depth about what Gil Brandt said wrong because we all know what he said wrong, but it does, it always strikes me as weird when a tragedy like that happens and it's a true tragedy. Like it kind of like gut punched me. I have no connection to Dwayne Hastings, but it gut punched me because I was like, holy shit. This guy's so young, everything in front of him. It's just very bizarre to me that because we live in a world where like everyone has to have a take about everything, it's tragedy. And then immediately let's pile on

someone who didn't, you know, deal with this exactly right. Like Shepter got it and Shepter, and his tweet was horrible. He's an idiot. Right. But I also like, and maybe I'm just, maybe this is wrong of me, but I always just feel weird that his tweets bad, but it's also just feels weird that we then spend the entire day instead of talking about Dwayne Hastings, like doing the Twitter pile on, and I'm a hypocrite because I've done the Twitter pile on before. I'm trying to do a better job about it, but like it felt weird to me that the entire day was Shepter was trending because everyone had to get their dunk in instead of just being like, this is tragic. Remember Dwayne Hastings, like retweet his story about Dwayne Hastings, not, hey,

I can't believe Shepter said this and I'm going to keep tweeting about how Shepter said this all day. Yeah. No, if I die and Shepter has a bad tweet about it, which is very likely that he would, don't talk about Adam Shepter's tweet. It's not about him. I think what it is, is people were upset. It's a tragedy. They need something to be mad at, something like, because they've got a lot of pent up energy. They see this, there's emotions running wild and they don't know what to do. So it's like, okay, that's the person that's bad. That's where I can redirect all my sadness and grief towards is like pointing at him. It's yeah, it's so bizarre to me. It's similar to the read the room guys where it's like you're like a tragedy happens and then your first like thought

is let me go in police Twitter and see who's dealing with this in the 10 minutes after the correct way and not. It's just the whole thing is bizarre. I've now like, you know, stepped away from all like, if something happens, it's tragic. I'll retweet the message and just leave it at that because it's just like, it's not, you don't have to have a take about everything. You don't have to spend the entire day dunking on Gil Brandt and Adam Shepter and then making it about that instead of making it about the tragedy between Haskins life and everything he accomplished. Sometimes it's okay to just be sad about stuff and to not have to get mad at somebody for doing something despicable and let that take over your emotions. It's okay to just be like, this is a

tragedy. I feel awful for him, for his whole family, for everybody involved. It's just, it's just sad. And the special wrinkle that happened too, because I was, you know, watching it all unfold and it was like colleagues of Adam Shepter knowing they can't call it Adam Shepter, so going even harder on Gil Brandt. Yeah. It's like, you guys like, what's going on right now? Why is everyone doing this? Just let's remember Dwayne Haskins. I saw that video of when Dwayne Haskins was a kid and he was in the Ohio State locker room and he's like someday I'm going to be the Ohio State quarterback. That was, you know, like broke my heart again. So that season that he had in Ohio State were 50 touchdowns. Yeah. He was incredible. Yeah. Yeah. So the whole

thing is sad and we had to mention it because obviously it was a big story this weekend. But I don't think that there's anything that we can add to it besides just the fact that it's sad. It's really, really sad. Right. Right. And you know, life is precious and I think we all know that. All right. Let's do, by the way, we just, as a side note, we just did like tech support that was incredible. This whole studio just blew up in between like we basically don't even describe it if I wanted to. I don't even know what happened. It's like there was like one of those EMPs that went off from Oceans 11 where every electronic in the studio is shut down simultaneously for different reasons. Yeah. I got under the hood. I got under the hood started just

doing all the technical research that I've, all the years of college that I used in computer science, which I'd never even studied, to just go and I basically found the power strip and said, Hank, I'm unplugging this cord. Did it do anything? Okay. Hank, I'm unplugging this cord. Did it do anything until we found the cord that needed to be unplugged? Which broke something else. Yes. Which I still don't know really what happened. Billy filmed the whole thing on a cell phone. I don't know how that's going to come out, but check out on TikTok. Oh, there we go. We documented the whole, the part of my take, TikTok. Maybe, can you do, can you do, we didn't have the, I don't think we had the spike moment, which was unfortunate, but I know

that was the, can you do the Harlem Shake to it? Can you remix it? I'm going to make it like really emotional, but can you also make me a Harlem Shake version? Yes. How did that work? By the way, did the, did the TikTok blow up? Did you bring back Harlem Shake? I mean, it did very well. All right. There you go. Billy invented Harlem Shake. Good answer. All right. Let's do Hot Sea, or sorry, let's do Who's Back. I'm an idiot. I don't know what day it is. And then we have Scott Van Pelt live from Augusta, and then we will talk some NBA because the playoffs are set on the other side of Scott Van Pelt. Before we get to Who's Back, you know, Who's Back always, Coors Light, Coors Light. It's a hectic time of year between

Celebrate responsibly, CoorsLight.com, Golden Colorado, CoorsLight.com slash take. Okay, who's back of the week, Henry? My who's back of the week is Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Yeah. Yeah, that ass. He's hitting bombs with that ass. He hit a home run today that was, it was literally a line drive, 467 feet. I've never seen a ball with the launch angle like this one had. It was, it looked like a, it looked like a special effect. It looks like, you know, the, you know, the, the commercials or whatever where

it's like the final scene is, is someone hitting a baseball and then the baseball like hits the camera or something. It looked like that in real life. It was just a, it was a line drive that went 467 feet. That's really all you can say. There's a monster dunk. Bubba, what, what's your rating? You're the expert when it comes to, Oh, I'm looking at it right now, dude. That's a dinger. I'll give it like 4.5 balls. It was like a perfect home run for some reason. I don't know what it got hurt, but all the, it was like a foul ball. All the players that are sons of former big leaguers like your Vlad Guerrero juniors, your, uh, your bobechettes, your, uh, like the Fernando Tatis junior. All these guys just hit the coolest looking home runs. Jack Lider just throws gas. It is wild.

Yeah. Yeah. That your drink. La Rochas. Great one. Great one. Hank. Yeah. Who's back? Monster Dongs, Vladimir Guerrero. Fun fact, Drake, Drake La Rochas is actually 30 years old. I know it's crazy. Um, yeah. No, they, I, there's nothing better than a dog. Just a, yeah, big, big old dong. It is the best. You guys are just fucking tempting me over there. They should, they should have a, they should have a red zone channel. It's just taters. Yeah. The, the dong network. Dogs and taters. Yeah. Just dropping them on everyone. Uh, all right. PFT. Your who's back? My who's back. I got a couple of them. First is pintar. Oh, pintar is back. There was a, there's a controversy in college baseball where, um, a guy, let's see, I'm pulling up the team

right now hit a home run UCF. Uh, he had a three run dinger and then he got kicked out for having too much pintar. And then everybody got kicked out after that because it started a brawl because the manager got pissed off that the other manager narked on the pintar. But it was very, it was very reminiscent of the George Brett pintar incident. The umpires crowd around the bat and I honestly didn't even know that college baseball players use pintar on aluminum bats. I don't really understand. It always seemed like something that was wood related. Yeah. You got the wood and then you got the wood come, which is sap. I believe that's what sap is. And then you measure it that way. But yeah, I guess they're using it in college baseball too. What, what is the problem

with having too much pintar? I never really understood it. But they measure how far down the barrel it goes. So like, why is it a problem? Oh, because you can use, because I think they use it. Oh, it might be because it might come off the bat differently too. So if it hits the, if you hit the ball with the pintar part of the bat, then it's tougher for the infielder to, to field or throw. Probably probably the ball has stickiness to it. I don't know, but it was awesome. It was awesome seeing like five guys get ejected at the same time and it was pretty sick. Then my other who's back in the week is the Pittsburgh pirates. The pirates are back. I am bringing back. I was debating whether or not to switch my bed up to the Orioles this year. I've got a proprietary system.

It's an algorithm that tells me who to bet on for baseball. Last year I was up 24 and a half units on the season. So I suck at gambling, but I'm very good at betting on baseball. And my algorithm is thus you just bet against the Pittsburgh pirates every single game. And so we're bringing it back this year only for road games, I think, because it took too much money away from the sports book. So they're trying to limit how much money you can make off them. Don't, don't play their games. So we're going to bet on road games every pirates team under and for the other team to win money line. Love it against the pirates and we're going to all make a bunch of money. I was thinking about going to the Orioles because the Orioles might be lucky to win 55 games this year. The new wall.

They really, and they have the new wall, which is just, it's, it's fucked up what they did to that wall. They desecrated that stadium. So yeah, the pirates are back right now. It's two and one on the season, but I'm sure that it'll get off to a hot start again this year. We're just baseball heavy. What are you going to say? Speaking of the, that, that Vlad Guerrero home run, there's a, there's an account called Wood at Dong and it bases it. It's like the trajectory and everything of it of like, if it would be out in all 30 stadiums, and that one was only 28 out of 30. Really? Yeah, I knew. I was thinking Fenway won in a bad one because it's too high in center. I can't think of the other one, but maybe Petco or Orioles. I feel like Jake would like that.

Yeah. Yeah. That is good. I love that account just because like every, every right field home run in the 80s is a one out of 30. Yeah. Yeah. Houston might be the other one because they've got the train up there and one sort of ball is still up there. Yeah. Um, all right. My who's back were baseball heavy. My who's back is the Yankees because, uh, the Yankees posted a hype video to start the season that said, uh, no moral victories, no excuses, no storylines, no narratives. And then after, uh, Gary Cole's first start, he said that, uh, the game being delayed four minutes was an unforeseen challenge for him. He said the festivities got a little away from the schedule. I love, I love psycho baseball pitchers that have their routines that they can't let

anything out of there for me. Are you sure it was four minutes, four minutes, one, one, somebody fuck with this mound, one of the beat writers. Gary Cole said that the delayed start one, one 12 PM instead of 108 PM was an unforeseen challenge for him. The festivities got a little away from the schedule. Cole said, I think I saw a KFC, our colleague mentioned it, which was spot on. He's like, Garrett Cole, before he came to New York, everyone just assumed he was like the badass dude who like just gets on the mound and shoves and just fucking throws heat down your throat. And then he comes to New York and he's just, he's like sweaty and he can't answer questions correctly. And the only time he gets anything right is when he talks about how he was a Yankee fan

before, you know, like when he was a kid, like he's just a loser. I think it has to do with the fact that he had to cut his hair and shave his beard to become a Yankee fan. Anybody can be a filthy dude that shoves if they've got a beard. Dude, you know what? He was a Haas, but he was a Haas, but you can't, you can't be that same guy if you get rid of your beard. What's the, what's the thing? Jake is a Yankee fan. So is Billy. What was the poster he held up? Yankee fan today, Yankee fan tomorrow, Yankee fan forever. So he knows the Yankee way. Like that really is. Gary Cole just goes in between getting shelled, answering questions incorrectly about spider tack. And then every once in a blue moon, someone asks him about a memory

when he was a kid and he's like, yeah, I was at dirt cheaters, like, you know, 3000 hit game. That was cool. Maybe it's the fact that he, he put so much more pressure on himself because he did grow up a Yankee fan where he's like, now I'm representing the pinstraps, not just myself. Did he pitch that bad? He might not have even pitched that bad because, you know, gave up three in the first inning that he settled down a little bit on the game. It was the start. It was the, it was the four minute delay. Yeah. Just a hilarious thing for him to say. Like, dude, you got to know how stupid that sounds. I need somebody to look up the stats on, on players that have been traded or signed with the Yankees, like halfway through their career, if their beard

guys, if their performance has always declined once they get to New York. I know Johnny Damon, he won, he won a World Series, right? But he was not the same player that he was in Boston. I bet you it's, I bet you it's almost every player that goes there. If they, if you have to cut your hair or shave to change your personal appearance, I bet it throws you off. Sampson effect. Yep. Did Randy Johnson shave his beard when he sucked when he was on the Yankees, but he also was like 38. He was a mustache guy. Yeah. He was on the Yankees. Yeah. He was so old when he went through the Yankees. The big unit. But they allow mustaches. Mustaches, no sideburns. Yep. And your hair can go down to your collar and no further. Yeah. All right, Billy, you're who's back? My first,

who's put anyone who says we don't talk baseball, by the way. I also, I'm now like so committed on the Mariners somehow getting to the World Series because there was one guy who was like, you guys are the number one sports podcast and all we got for a baseball preview was half ass like Mariners are going to go to the World Series. If I, if I somehow I'm right, I'm going to, I'm going to frame that tweet. I'm going to invite that guy to come into the studio. Can you imagine if it's the Phillies and the Padres in the World Series, how right I would be? Yes. That would be sick. If the ale just imploded, that would be the all time prediction. Yeah. The, uh, we are going to have a couple of baseball guests coming up. So everyone just,

listen, we, we get to things late. Things sneak up on us. Remember when we did our NBA preview in like January? We're actually going to do another NBA preview with Ryan Rossini. Right. Like we just relax. We, we know when football season starts, we say football is back basically from June until first episode of hard knocks February. And then everything else we missed by a couple of weeks. Just chill out, Billy. My who's back is UFOs. There was a weird sighting in the sky in Alaska. A picture has just been released. It basically looks like a long trail of smoke with a no one knows what it is object at the end of it over Anchorage. And many are saying that it might have been a UFO that was shot out of the stick guy that they don't want us to know about.

But the government is saying it was just a contrail or maybe it's Russia being like, you know what, it's contrail. Maybe it's fuck. Maybe the West and look like an alien. Do you think it has anything to do with our studio falling apart? I think it has a lot to do with it. Yep. Something's going on. Maybe they're like, you know what, like our planes aren't doing so well in Ukraine. Let's try going over to Alaska. Exactly. Yeah. So it's a, I got a blog coming out on it. Check it out on barstelsports.com. And my second who's back is Ronaldo. Ronaldo. Yeah. Assaulting children. Because he said Ronaldo. What it was Jake. Oh, no, he stole his who's back.

Oh, no, it was, it was the, it was Ronaldo. No, that's how they say it. No, that's, that's appropriate. That's how they say it in England. Jake just every time that's like when you, I see it out of the corner of my eye, just he breaks. Yeah. Ronaldo can't help himself from like, jail. That guy should go to jail. He hit a kid. He was limping coming off the pitch after a loss and wasn't feeling the cameras in his face at that moment. He, all right. So there's two things that are going on here. One, I do think, because we had Brooks, our guy Brooks had a little camera incident. I think there should be a law in the world that if you are close enough for the person to slap the phone out of your hand without them having to make a move towards you, then you legally

can get your phone slapped out of your hand. So if you're like, if I'm walking up to you, PFT and I'm like, this, I can't do it. But if I'm like that, you should be able to slap it because it's like, dude, that is the bubble. But in this, in this situation, the kid was in his space. He owned his area, right? If we're talking about this in, in the lock and charge, lock and charge, he had position and then Ronaldo drove right at him, right? I just loved this because I do think he should be in jail for life for this. Um, he hurt that kid's hand. There was a, a thread on Twitter that was very funny because it had a picture of the kid's hand and it was just like, his hand was like slightly red. Like that was, that would have been one where, you

know what? I could, I could go to England right now and I have to do this with my son all the time. Like I could kiss the boo boo and we'd be fine. Like it'd be like, you're good. You're good to go. But at the end of the Twitter thread, they had, uh, it was the Irish daily mirror. And they said anyone with information on this incident is asked to con contact Mercy side police social media desk via Twitter. It's like, we, what do you mean anyone who has information? We saw, it was a video that just got his hand slapped and that was it. Send them the video. Absolutely. If anyone knows who might have done this, a guy named wearing Ronaldo jersey, looking like Ronaldo is a chief suspect. It was, it was the most famous person in the world

hitting a kid on video. So I think we got this one under control. No, but if you got, if you see anything, or if you know anything about it, please contact them. Good. Good. Who's back? It's Billy. It was my two. All right, Jake. And who's back is creating peace because that's exactly what's attempting to be happening between Rob Manfred and the players of major league baseball. Oh, I think you're going to take Ukraine, Russia. No sports podcasts, bigger things. Yeah. Uh, he bought every player a pair of headphones. Oh, that's nice. It's like they're going to like a JV bowl game. Here you go, guys. You can't afford this. Tell you what, what Jake, what would you? That's a lot of those people. A lot of Mets fans identify with the Red Sox. That's the best

house divided that I've ever seen. No, it's not a house. That's just the Yankee Hater. Internal house divided. Yeah. He's just the Yankee Hater. So, so Jake, he bought them. He bought every player headphones. Yeah. Even the minor leaguers. Don't believe probably not them. No. But he's like, would you rather have, you think after everything they'd be like, throw them a bone? Would you rather have an extra $300,000 a year or would you rather have beats by Dre? No, that's a, that's a like, yo, my bad dude. Yeah. Here's some headphones. The sign said, please accept this gift as a small gesture of my appreciation for the hard work that comes with being a major leaguer. Yeah. Very small. I'm sure most, they don't have headphones either

anyway. No, no. Although I could take headphones anytime. Just be like, give me headphones. That's cool. You always need them. 99 day lockout, but here's headphones. Yeah. But no one, no one, also the bases are bigger. You forgot they gave you, but I would argue, has anyone ever gotten headphones and been like, no, I don't want these. Like you always use headphones. I'll always take headphones. I'll say this. The gift could have been anything and people would have been like, Oh, that's it. Yeah. It could have been like a blank check for a million dollars each. Yeah. Thank you for standing up for commissioner Rob Manfred. Yeah. Appreciate that. If he wants to give me headphones, I'll take it. Nice. Put that on the list. No.

I'm being honest. You just said it. I would let him give me. I heard the pause when I go back to it. It's not going to make sense. No, the way he said it. Yeah. That's too much. He said, if commissioner Rob Manfred wants to give me headphones, that's what he said. I said headphones. Yeah, right. Listen, any guy can give me headphones and I would take it. All right. PFT, you want to do a quick word before we got Scott Van Pelt, by the way, is in his car. So on the way to the airport, he's very gracious to give us his time. Every single master's right after the tournament ends. So there was like one like weird moment where we lost them, but it's, it's all good because it's always great to have Scott on. Yeah.

Okay, we now welcome on one of our favorite recurring guests, a tradition unlike any other Scott Van Pelt calling us on his way to the airport from Augusta, Texas big role coming up soon. Scott, let's start with the winner. How big is this for Scots everywhere and Scott ease? I felt like I want, you know, they were chanting Scotty, Scotty, Scotty, and I was just standing up pumping my fist and it was really, it was emotional. Not a lot of Scotty's win stuff,

but now I feel like everything's changed. Well, what's the difference between a Scott and a Scotty? Did you ever go by Scotty? My family calls me that in some time. Nick Fradell, who joins me from time to time on sports center, set the record for calling me Scotty. Watch next time he's on, he smiles a lot and calls me Scotty. I love, he's my doppelganger. Yeah. Yeah. I get a lot of like, Hey, you're on TV whenever Nick is doing hits with you. And that probably both of us probably feel a little bad about ourselves because our faces could lose like 10 pounds, but that's okay. Great dude. Did you start your weight? Did you start your diet? Yes, I have started it officially. What's that? What's it consist of? No eating. Yeah, I just basically don't eat all day. And

then at night I come home and I eat all my kids food. And then I'm like, Oh, I didn't eat anything. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. So let Scotty Scheffler, like we don't know anything about him. Do you get to talk to him? I know you got talked to him this weekend, but like give us some fun fact that we can then go around and tell everyone like we know more about golf than the average bear. I mean, I think, I think, I think he's been pegged is like the, like a 45 year old, 25 year old like he's sort of, he kind of carries himself in a very mature way and is super buttoned up. And I mean, I, all I know is this, like he, he hadn't won on super until Super Bowl Sunday, and he's won four times since. And I mean, you come here ranked number one, and then you go win

a major. I mean, that's Tiger Wood stuff. You know, that's, that's, he's, he's doing things that tell us that this is sort of who he is. Like this is the, this is the space he occupies. I don't know if I have any fun fact. I'll give you this. Apparently his Twitter bio, not his Twitter bio, his PGA tour bio says his favorite course is Southern Hills. And that's where the next major is, which you can watch on ESPN and ESPN plus, by the way. Six plug. Now, would have went on him. What about his bed him early, bed him early, bed him early to win. What about I, I just, honestly, he's, he's, I just think he's, I'm impressed that he's this mature. He's more mature than me now. And I'm, I'm more than twice his age, which is pitiful. He's, he just feels

like a guy that's an adult. And I, and I'm, I don't know, it blows my mind that he's this composed already and just didn't really wobble. Yeah. Yeah. What about his caddy? I feel like maybe, maybe one of the under reported stories is his caddy Ted Scott, one of the best caddies in the game. Here's a fun fact about Ted Scott. He was the world foosball champion in 1994. Bam, right there. And they mentioned the two, the two green jackets with bubble, but I didn't hear the foosball thing until I came on with you guys. So the 18th, we had this debate and you've seen August, you've been to Augusta, you've golfed Augusta. Yeah. Could, could, let me ask you, you golf, you've been to Augusta, if you walked up to the T box on the 18th with a lead like he had,

knowing you had to just get an eight or a nine to for a playoff, would you be able to pull it off? I thought about that. And with all the people watching, probably not. I think I would, I think I would probably poop. Yup. Right. Yup. Yup. Let's just be honest, right? You probably would, you probably would freak out a little bit. I, I mean, every player that plays thinks, of course, all I need is like a nine and I'd be fine. Eight, I guess, and I'd be okay. Well, you see these guys smacking in the trees and they're the best in the world. So I'm not going to do that thing that people do. And so I'm sure I could make an eight. I might not. I probably wouldn't. What about if you just used a putter, you take the trees out of the equation, you go putter off the tee and then

put down the fairway. If I'm playing for an eight, you could just hit, you could just hit seven iron three times and be up there close. And then, but then the fun starts. I mean, how many putts did he have on, on 18? It felt like five. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I think he was, he was the leader. Wait. So, so we, we've never been to Augusta. Are the greens that crazy? Like, wait, like compared to just going out on a regular weekend, if you're going your local course, like how crazy are the greens compared to that? There's nothing else like them because it's a combination of how fast they are and it's married with, to the slope and like the undulation and the breaks that are some are subtle and some are drastic. You can tell on television. I mean, all you need to know is

Scotty Shepard. I think he five putted, didn't he? I mean, whatever it was he was making faces to say, I better make this eventually or this is going to really get embarrassing. Meanwhile, I think it's a bad beat for anybody to bet under. I think 278 and a half or 277 and a half was the, was the, the score for the over or under for the weekend. I don't know. I got eight million tweets. I don't know if they're bad beats or not because people get confused sometimes, but I think that might have come into play, which will be sad for those that were on the wrong side of that because that was a mess. Yeah. Here's a fun experiment to do since it was kind of a boring masters. The Sunday at least was, was not really super exciting at least outside the first six or seven holes.

If it had gone 19 holes, do you think that Scotty Shepard wins this masters? Sure. Sure. Here's the thing. Often it happened with Tiger in 19. It happened with Masayama last year. If you have the lead, the way you play the whole is entirely different. I mean, you don't, you don't need to be aggressive and you just want to make you avoid a drastic mistake. Schaeffler's lead was so big he could afford what happened on 18 and it doesn't even matter. So I think, absolutely. I think if the, but then, I mean, which hole is it? Is it 12? Do we try back out to 12? See that we saw what happened to Cam Smith and that happens every year. Somebody unfortunately has a moment where it all goes wrong, but I get what you're saying. If there's

another hole, I don't think he was leaking oil. I think he just knew it doesn't matter what I do here. It's just a matter of time until I get to hug my bride and put on a jacket. Yeah. Yeah. What was, what was the mood around the course this week? Because we were talking about, you know, dude gate, dude perfect and Bryson desecrating the, the hollow grounds there. Do you get the feeling like the grounds crew, they had a chip on their shoulder after, after that display and they were like, you know what, we're going to make it tough. We're going to make it harder than usual. It was, it was more just the fact that the wind blew 30 miles an hour on Friday and then Saturday was the coldest day I ever remember here. I mean, it, it wasn't cold Chicago in the winter cold,

obviously, but it was really cold for April and Augusta cold. And so Friday and Saturday were the issue. I mean, if it, if it were, if we had four days like this where the weather was perfect, then I think you'd have seen scores that were a whole, a whole lot better. I mean, but honestly, I mean, the mood all week, it was, it was tremendous. It's what it always is here. People were excited to be here, but then they were excited because Tiger was back and then he played well enough the first day where people got excited and thought, holy shit, what if he, what if he can do this? And I figured that there'd be some sort of diminishing returns just because his body is, is, is, he's been through so much physically. There's just no way

to, to reasonably think he could do it again. And then obviously by the weekend, he didn't play well, but I mean, him smiling, coming off the green after 78, 78 tells you all you need to know. I mean, he accomplished a lot in his own mind. And so people were into that. And then Rory, Rory and Morikawa, who I know has been on your show, great dude, they put on a show. So there was that for some exciting, but I'm not going to try to sell you one. Wow. It was the dramatic master's. We normally see it wasn't cause chef learn largely took the, you know, the wind out of that, out of the sales of that. It just, he, it was his, in his hands since Friday night, essentially. Yeah. So I, I, I got into it a little bit with the Tiger fan boys, which I need to just back off

because there are fierce group of people on Twitter. I said that like, well, no, I'm part of two and on. So don't, don't, don't do that. I have a lot of stats. We could talk later. I just said that I was watching on Sunday. I was sitting on my couch and watching Tiger and I was like, this is kind of depressing because he's clearly limping and he's struggling and he's making shots. He doesn't normally make. I probably should take the, the viewpoint that you just said, like he comes off 18, he's smiling, he's happy, but was there any part of you that watched him a Saturday and Sunday? You're like, ooh, this is not, this isn't great cause it's clearly he's injured. I get what you're saying and sure. I mean, it sucks. It's, it sucks that,

that he's been through, you know, so many different things. Like his back was a mess before he had a car accident. So all that's a bummer. And, and I think, I guess what I'm saying, big cat is that when he shoots 71 on Thursday, you trick yourself into thinking he's, he's not a human. And you think, Oh, well, he'll just keep doing this. And then you see him limping like, Oh, I wish that weren't the way it is. But I mean, it's, it's just the reality of, um, hold on one second, guys. He's getting his back. He's getting his back. He's getting this guy. He's the hardest working man in business. I'll see you in our Southern Hills. Thank you. No, I'm at it. I'm at the airport. I want to walk. I, this is a big moment for us

because we're going to walk in it. We're going to walk in and see if they have the big text. You said it, you said it perfectly, Scott, because that, that's exactly, you summed up my feelings better than I did in a tweet. It was not that like it was a bummer to watch. It was the fact that Thursday happened and I was part of the group that tricked myself into thinking, Oh my God, like tiger will be in this thing. And then to fast forward to Sunday and see him limping and like, you know, bogey, bogey, bogey. And I'm like, Oh, this kind of sucks, man. No doubt. But, but, and I think both things can be true, right? Where it was so, it was so much fun to see him bury a pot on 16 and have one quiz yelling and, and you'd like, Holy shit, this dude,

he's really is not human. And this, it doesn't matter that his leg has got broken and almost had to be amputated. He's going to, he's going to be a superhero. Well, he's not. He's, you know, flesh and blood like us. And I mean, I really have to talk to him about the ball spot. I've tried to tell him that he has to shave his head. He really, something has to happen. He's not going to give that up. He's going to go down swinging on that one. I'm Tiger Woods and you're not move where it's like, I don't, LeBron's got a little of that going on too. Where he's like, I, what are you going to say? Hey, tiger, you're bald? No. No, I did on television. I said to him, I said, I'm your GPS. You have to, you have to come home.

And he won't. I don't know why he won't. Cause if the longer he holds on to this, just the worse it's going to get. But he, he's explained that because his head, because he gets tan and then his head doesn't get tan, that he would look like a mess if he shaved it. Yeah. That's when you, that's when you say I'm Tiger Woods and it doesn't make any difference. Yeah. Hold on. Hold on. We gotta see. We're going to the vending machine right now. We're going to see if they have the big text. Oh no. No, this is terrible. What are we looking at? What are options? I don't want to show you. No, you got to show us. Oh, that's bad. Texas is supposed to be. And it's not there. And they got what? Gummy bears?

I think you got to go Pop Tarts. Well, what about the, well, what about the Mrs. Freshly's? What do you know about those? Yeah, I close. All right. If I were you right now, I'd go, I'd hit those cool ranch Doritos. And then I, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Mrs. Freshly's jumbo honey bun. I hit one of those and then maybe top yourself off with like some peanut M&Ms. What if, what if we make this flight? What if we really just get nuts and get like cheddar jalapeno Cheetos, then smash it Mrs. Freshly's jumbo honey bun and then, and then some Pop Tarts. Now, what if you did this? If I had an edible, we'd 100% get that sorted out. What if you, what if you get the Pop Tarts, right? And then you put the Cheetos in between

like a sandwich and then you have the honey bun to clean you up afterwards. There you go. There's just, is the, to cleanse the palate. Yeah. It is a shame that they don't have the big Texan though. This is really disappointing. This is a disappointing moment in private aviation that there is no Texas. I was going to ask, I was going to ask, because my last question was going to be the Roback question. Use code take 20% off your first purchase, RHOBACK.com. I was going to ask, are you actually flying private tonight? Because I thought maybe, you know, the wallets a little tight with all the money you had to pay for Kevin Willard. I mean, we're going to sort that out with, we're going to just pass the hat amongst ourselves.

My guy, K.P. Kevin Plank, started to come from the Under Armour. No big deal, billionaire. I'm sure he's good. We'll figure it out. We'll sort it out. We're good. But we, you know, friendly with the Wisconsin alum, Kenny Dichter and the wheels up. Wait, your hands in front of the mic. Oh, there you go. See, that's bad. That was bad. I was giving props to a Wisconsin guy too. I'm going to give a plug to wheels up. I want to make sure that it's heard clearly. Yeah. And Kenny Dichter, I embarrassed myself because I saw you at Super Bowl week and I got to the tail line. I'm not invited to the wheels up dinner, but I was walking at the very end and I said to Kenny, hey, we got to figure

out a way to get Caleb Williams. And he gave me one of those like, get this crazy guy away from me. I don't know who you are. He was like, yeah, yeah, hit me later. And I was like, I don't have your number. Did you hit him? Did you sort that out? I was like, we got to get this Caleb Williams thing figured out. We got to get him to Wisconsin. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Get in touch with me next week. And I walked down and I was like, I don't have his number. Well, I can put you in touch. I do have a serious question. Not serious, but I am interested because I've covered golf obviously my whole life. So to me, coming to Augusta is my favorite week of the year. And being here is great. And it's friends in the whole bit. And it's, it's just something I've always done.

So I see it through that lens. You guys are sports fans, sports fans. And I just is, is this, is this a week that you love? Is it like, yeah, it's fun, kind of. Or is it like, yeah, we, I like, I really like this week. No, I really do. I really do. Everything about it is, it tells me that like, it is the official shifting of the season into spring for me hearing Jim Nance's voice. And Jim Nance was on one. I don't know if you get to actually watch the, or watch the broadcast while you're working. He was on one today. He was just ripping off the whole. I always say he is ASMR for dads where you listen to them and you just fall into the most pleasant slumber that you can possibly be. And it's fantastic. But PFT is right. It's this, it's

Augusta for me, because I've never been, and I love watching it. I watch every masters. It's like the time and place. It's whenever masters week comes around, it's like, you know, that first 50, 60 degree day pops. And it's like, all right, we've made it. We made it through winter. It just, everything kind of feels a little different where it just, there's something very, very special about it. And the tradition, even when they did it in the fall, I was like, this is, this isn't the masters. Like it's nice. They're doing it, but it's not the masters. Like it's the spring, it's Jim Nance. It's just the fact that it's the same place every year and all the history. You just love that same beard bird keeps showing up and making that same sound over and over

and over again. I'll say this on a day, like yesterday when it was cold and, and even on this, on a day when it's cold and, and you're bundled up and whatever, it's, it's great. But on a day like today, when it's 75, it's sunny and it's perfect and you're looking around knowing that, you know, like someone's life legitimately changes because they become a master's champion. I mean, in this sport that they're, it's the kingmaker event. And you win this. And then for the rest of your life, Scottie Schaeffler, who already seems like he's 40 years old, is going to come here when he's 50 years old. And he's, you know, he's hit the rest of his life. He's a master's champion. And I don't know. I mean, I, I, I'll make, I'm happy to make fun of stuff as much as the next

guy. But I mean, this is, it's an event that, that is, it's whatever you think it is. If you come here, it's better. I've never seen anyone leave the golf course and you say, Hey, is this your first time? And they say, yeah. And you go, what'd you think? And they go, right. It's all right. It's, it's an entire thing. It's bucketless. Yeah. It's iconic. Like we say that a lot of stuff is iconic. The master's Augusta is iconic. I would love to go there one day. Mostly I just want to, I want to try everything that they have at the concession stand. Can you give us like a real quick power ranking of the different concession stands they have? Yeah. By the way, before you do this, my favorite thing is when they show the menu

and it's like, you can eat all this for $20. It will just cost you $10,000 to get in. Sweet. Awesome. But see, they, they could gouge you once you're here and they don't. True. They truly don't need your money. Yes. This is, this is a bit of controversy because, but I mean, hold on. Let me just say in advance, if you're team pimento cheese, that's fine. I'm not, but that's, that's like the person that likes a specific flavor of ice cream. If you like it, great. But if I don't, it's fine. I'll just pick something different. The sneaky menu item you need to get is the chicken sandwich. It's just a chicken breast, really well peppered and it's on a bun and that's all you need. But what a lot of the vets do is they take the pimento and cheese

and they take and buy a barbecue again, because it's cheap. You take the pimento cheese, smash it on the barbecue, then you have this hybrid pimento cheese barbecue mix that people say is great. But again, I'm not the pimento cheese guy. Other people like the egg salad. Again, you can have it. I'm just going to smash chicken sandwiches and call it a day. It is actually a testament to Augusta as a place that is so sacred that they can make an egg salad sandwich appealing. Like people are like, oh, look at the egg salad. It's just that it's, it's just that it's in the green bag and you're at Augusta. So when you eat it, you get to tell all your boys that aren't here. Hey, you know what I did? I just smashed

nine egg salad sandwiches. It's light. It's refreshing. Our mutual friend, JP Finley, sent me a care package from Augusta last year. Inside the care package was like three egg salad sandwiches, two pimento cheese sandwiches. Now he didn't really refrigerate it. There was like one bag of frozen corn that he put in the FedEx box. So by the time I got to the office and opened it up, I don't think it, it didn't, there are things out there that keep well. I'm going to say that an egg salad sandwich is on the other side of that corn. I don't feel like egg salad travels. Did you eat it? I mean, I had to take a bite. It was a big mistake. I don't, yeah, egg salad travels like as far as somebody handing it to you and then you eating it. From the kitchen

to like the table. I don't mean, yeah, right. It's just not, not through the, through the postal services. No, it's not. Egg salad does not cross state lines. You can't put it in a box and send it to somebody for God's sake. I saw him. I saw JP did that. Yeah. By the way, last thing, the Scottie Scheffler's caddy, which we just talked about, but what a job by him on Saturday with the vest. That was a, have you ever seen a caddy work that hard? Just putting, he had to keep giving it back to him the vest. Scottie Scheffler took on and off his vest like 75 times. I likened it to Scott when you're with a toddler and it's like, you know, just back and forth like, oh, no, I don't want this. I want this. I want, that's what he had to do all day on Saturday. You're a father

too. A lot of people, people don't know that. Yeah. Yeah. It was, I mean, listen, you're there. The caddy's job is, is the list could be short or it could be really long on, on Saturday was a long thing. Here's the vest. I don't understand. I guess, I mean, couldn't you swing it? Couldn't you swing with the vest? I just would have seen like you could have, could have done that, but they didn't. Yeah. They also did it like they screwed him over because they kept on showing it. So it then became a thing like we're sick of the vest. And then I guess we got to talk to Colin Morikawa because his next scarf that he was wearing, he looked like, he looked like Lenny Kravitz. I don't know what that look was. I think it was, I think it was an Adidas thing

because I feel like Dustin Johnson had the same, the same thing. I felt like it was like part of the shirt. It was, it was a whole Lenny Kravitz. That's a great call. I don't think of that. I was thinking it might have been like a mask. Like he's pulling it up points like sub zero. That thing was huge. It's like, we're in a lamp shape. It was. Yeah. It times it was. Look, it was an interesting week, man. I mean, it starts with Tiger who was awesome. Then then it's blows. The wind blows 50. Then the next day, people have got on Dune masks and then unfortunately Sunday, we just didn't have, you know, we didn't have the back and forth drama and whatever other than like Rory and Morikawa holding out on 18. That was nuts.

I don't know what Rory did with his hands. He made the, you see that when he made it? And then it was just like, yeah, it was like, what do I do with my hands? It looked like a 50 year old woman getting like warmed up for a power walk. He went like the side spin on it. Yeah. What are you doing, man? I guess if you shoot 64, you can do whatever the hell you want. Yeah. You were lucky enough to see that. We got it ruined for us. So we got that spoiled for us, but that's okay. Nothing got ruined until I got here and there's no big Texas. Yeah. That's tough. Yeah. I have one last food related question. You don't, you don't get invited like nobody outside people that actually

have won the masters get invited to the champions dinner, right? No. But as far as the spread goes, that looked like one of the all timers. I mean, again, we can, there's, there's jokes and all, but that mean that the way it's been described to me is that that's, that that's the coolest night of the year. I mean, it's a bunch of dudes that, you know, you get to remember who you were when you were a younger man and you get to sit around and listen to stories and, and it's, you know, chef who gets to set the menu, uh, Morakawa's menu was, was well received. And apparently he gave a speech that bubble was to say was just brought people to tears, which I don't know. I mean, again, people can roll their eyes about golf and traditions. And that's

fine. I'm not trying to sell you on them if you're not into it, but just the idea of being in a room with the people that, you know, span generations and only the people that have done it get to be in there. That is, that's an all time. I mean, an all timer. And it's, it's, I mean, I think that's why this, this events a king maker and it's, you know, it's the one you come back to the rest of your life. You are wrong though. I did see dude. Perfect was there for that. So dude perfect was there for the master's dinner this year. So they do invite some people. Hey, then they got, they got the invite that I've been here for a while. I haven't got, I didn't get on the list. I got to get, I got to tighten up my drone game.

They're actually renaming the 18th. It's not going to be Holly. It's going to be pound at Noggin is the name of the whole thing. I would love if Augusta just leaned into it and just started trolling the fuck out of everyone with dude. Perfect. Like all those guys get exemptions for life to play foot golf on the master's week. They actually get into the tournament. There's one group that dude perfect group just to break it up a little bit. Listen, I got nothing to say other than if it's, they can invite whoever they want. As long as they keep inviting my dumb ass, then I'm fine with whoever else gets to come. Well, Scott, thank you as always. This is one of our favorite times to get to talk to someone who's actually there and say flight and sorry

about the big taxes. That's a heartbreaker. Yeah. I'm going to try to shake that off and soldier forth, but you guys know I love you. I appreciate the time always. You guys keep doing your thing and killing that. All right. All right. Thanks, Scott. Bye, Scott. Thank you. See ya. Scott van Pelt was brought to you by our great friends over at manscaped.

We're going to talk some NBA playoffs

because we're finally here. We should say, by the way, Joel Embiid wins a scoring title first center to do it since 2000, which is remarkable. Like the fact that I was looking at it, Kirk Goldsbury put something up. It was since, so there was 94 was David Robinson, 95 was Shaq, 2000 was Shaq. That's the list of centers that have won the scoring title in like the last 40 years. That's how good of a season Joel Embiid has had. There's been some heated debate about he, Joe Jokic, Yanis for MVP. I don't, MVP like talk gets very boring. I feel like I'm just going to vote for Embiid with my vote. Yeah. I'm going to go with Devin Booker. And I'm going to put it for, for Embiid and say that if the Sixers don't win the title this year, it's a disappointment.

All for not. All for that. Well, it seems Hardin's fault. So yeah, you get, yes, there is the perfect scapegoat besides Doc Rivers. So Hank, I know that you've been getting into it already with a certain element of Sixers Twitter as you like to do any death threats, any personal messages. No, I mean, there was a lot of people, I had a tweet, you know, it was during the South East wind streak when they were still like four or five games back in the division where I was like, feed me Philly. I got a lot of people, even our own Adam Ferrell. And that was like be careful what you wish for, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then in the past month or so, the Celtics obviously won the division today. They got the number two seed. They didn't tank.

They didn't quit. They didn't rest their starters. They played it out. And then there's a lot of Philly fans that in the last month, like I've seen them. I follow them all. I see what they're doing. I'm watching the games and they're all like, this team sucks. Hardin sucks. Like they've fallen off James Hardin. They don't that high that they were riding when they got James Hardin where they were all like, this is it. We've got the missing piece, championship or bus. They're already off that high and they're just worried about beating the Raptors. I think I might have been right about that trade when it happened. When I said, I think both teams might lose this trade. Well, Simmons, Simmons might,

they, there was a report that he might come back for the playoffs. Yeah. The world needs sixers in the playoffs. It's going to be so weird having Simmons come back for the first time in the playoffs. Like surely this player won't throw off all the chemistry that we have. Right. But he also like what, it's not like he is going to like, you're not saying when, if Ben Simmons comes back for the playoffs, oh, he might have trouble like shooting because he hasn't shot in a while. Right. If he doesn't, his skill, his best skill set can probably show up and played. He could probably show up and play defense. I, I just, I was thinking about it, Joe Embiid, like incredible season. All those stats. I just

said the fact that he is the only, he's the first center in 20 years. He's also the first center since Moses Malone in 1982 to average more than 30 points a game. It's crazy. Even if you want to say like, oh, the nineties was slower pace and not as many points. Who cares? Look at the eighties and seventies when they scored nonstop. Joe Embiid though is setting himself up perfectly to be the most sympathetic figure in like all of sports. When you think about Ben Simmons kind of ruined his chances. And now James Harden, who you want to talk about a pile on, everyone loves to pile on James Harden. It's one of the funnest things to do every spring. It's a tradition on like any other. We go from the masters to joking about James Harden being hung over in a

playoff game. Like James Harden will fuck this up for Embiid and Embiid. Everyone's going to be like, Embiid is so good. Why? Like he deserves a ring. I've already seen that he deserves a ring. Well, I, I don't know. It's going to be, it's going to be like trying to figure out who to blame between Harden and Doc Rivers because people love to pile on Doc Rivers too. Yeah. Well, he does that to himself. He already, he already bashed James Harden, which was awesome. Did you see that the other day? He was like, uh, the, some reporter asked about the backups and he's like, well, James didn't do anything. Like he just said it. He said it after a game. It's like James Harden stinks, but we are set with the playoffs. I want to, I'm a little, the bucks

basically the play in game too is also like, I think we should probably just tell people what the playing game is because up until today when I was going through scenarios, I kind of forgot about how serious the play in tournament. It's a play in tournament. Yes. Uh, it's a lot. It's not just a playing game. It's, it's a lot. It's two. So Tuesday night is calves nets. Well Monday night too. No, not Monday night. Western conference. Nope. It's Wednesday. I thought we said it was Monday. I know we, I just, I just saw it. It's Wednesday. I know. I know. It was, it was listed on my phone as being Monday night. It's, it's Wednesday. I just saw this, the thing behind you. I wouldn't have known it. So it's Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. It's, it's Tuesday, Wednesday,

Thursday. Yeah. So Tuesday is the calves and nets. They, it's not by conference. Tuesday is calves nets. Tuesday night later at nine 30 is clippers, tea wolves. Wednesday is Hornets Hawks, Spurs, Pelicans. They did change it. And then I assume Thursday they just play everything. I don't know. Friday to doublehead or Friday, Friday. Okay. So there you go. And then the playoff start on Saturday. And the winner of nets calves is the seven seed. So even though technically, you know, the calves are the eight, the nets are the seven, if the calves beat the nets, they're the seven and then the nets have to play the winner of the Hornets Hawks just to make the eight. And, and I, I told you, I think the calves can beat the nets. I'm just going to say it right

now. Hank has two things going on. Cavs have been his team all year because he bet on them. And two, he doesn't want the Celtics to play the nets in the first round. Cavs fight. It was funny because I came in, I came in and Hank was sitting in darkness, full darkness by himself in the, in the office. He was in the lab. He was in the lab, like breaking down playoff scenarios. And it was funny because we both came at it from different angles. He's coming at it from a team, the Celtics that could possibly win the title. And I had been crunching the playoff scenarios to figure out like what's the least amount of embarrassment the bulls can take. And we now have actually gotten the most amount of embarrassment with, with the Bucks because that's going to be an absolute

shit show. The Bucks will probably sweep. I was like, I was weighing all weekend. I was like, would I rather get swept by the Bucks and have Packers fans up my ass, which I'm used to, or would I like to play the Celtics, maybe win one game? Coach K's revenge. But no, that coach K's revenge. And also Dave tweets me out of the clouds, out of nowhere for like two weeks, or have the Sixers and have like Smitty laughing in my face. No, no good scenarios for me. I'd have, I'd have your back with that though. Yeah, but it was the Bucks, like at least all I could say about the Bucks, the Bucks are going to sweep the bulls. And at least I know how to deal with Packers fans, like just dunking on me my entire life. I know how to deal. The worst case

scenario for you would be if you played against the Celtics because you would get Hank and Hank wouldn't like talk a lot of overt shit, but he would sit there smiling with that little smirk on his face. And then you, you know what happened? You would get bubba bubba bud. You'd be like, oh no, I was just trying to watch the game. And like, I'm sorry, my team can't win and big cats would be like bubba bubba bubba. But I'm also like, I'm a dead man walking. I know I've watched many, many bulls games this year, and they are not a good team right now. Like if you go from January on, they're a bad team. So the Bucks are going to kill them. It's going to, I just want to be over as fast as possible. I'm hoping tomorrow to Rosen scores 61 game and we can get like one

nice moment, maybe in Chicago. Hank, how are you feeling though? Like I think karma's on your side for, for the Celtics to not rest starters and the Bucks to basically say we'd rather play the bulls, which I understand karma's on your side to like the teams that don't tank have karma. I think the Celtics have been one of the best teams the second half of the year. I think they were like 23 and 24 and they finished something crazy like 23 and seven or something. That's probably not exactly right, but they've been very, very hot. Obviously without Robert Williams in the first round, it's tough going against the Nets, not at full strength. I still think we can win. I would much rather play though, you know, the Cavs. I'm just going to, I'm just going to be honest. I'd

rather play the Cavs, even though the Cavs are scrappy. They are, they are a better team. They're a better matchup for us. I still think we can beat the Nets and then if we beat the Nets, we have a better, uh, you know, path to the finals. I think I don't know. It's going to be, it's going to be, I don't know. It's going to be, it's going to be interesting. The, the, the Nets and the Bucks are, are legitimate matchups that I could see going either way. I'll say that. What I'm looking forward to is the play in game out West Clippers, T Wolves, because according to Paul George, this is not a Paul George versus Pat Beverly match. Oh, it's going to be a Paul George versus Pat Beverly match. Pat Beverly, by the way, is not on board with you saying that it's not about Paul

George versus Pat Bev. Is this, this isn't, this is a play in game. So is there a play in game pity? Cause it's not playoff. It's, it's play in P. Yeah. It's not, there's, this is not the playoff. Shout out R Kelly. Yeah. You're not, you're not, you're not, you're not play. It's not the playoffs yet. You're not officially in the playoffs until you actually play a series. That would actually be the, the funniest thing to happen to Paul. We've seen it all happen to Paul George and we've loved laughing when it does, but for him to lose in a play in game, that would, that would be the ultimate. Yes. Yes. Um, I, I am, and we're going to have Ursula on later this week to break it all down, but I do think that it's just going to be the sons and bucks again. And I know that Hank,

you poo pooed that, but it, I just think Yannis is, he's so fucking good. And I know this is based off like facts that everyone knows, but sometimes it's that easy. Sometimes you like, we spend all year watching these NBA teams trying to talk us ourselves into something new and different. And it's like, Oh yeah, Yannis is just a fucking monster. I think I'm just, I'm doing what I've learned over and over again, watching sports that you should not do, which is to be like the Nets, look at all the talent they've got. The Nets are a dream team. I'm kind of talking myself into that. Like they're, they're too good to lose before the finals. Yeah. So I'm going sons and sons and bucks rematch. I think it's plus 600. If you want to pick, if you want to parlay them or like set

that up for them to, to meet in the finals, that's my pick. I'm, I don't know. Maybe, maybe we're still, we'll tell me I'm the dumbest person ever in the Nets. We got to get Kirk Goldsbury back on. Shit. Yeah. To do his Nets literally ruined the Nets. Celtics warriors. Oh, that's spicy. I like something new. You know what? I'm going to double dip. I'm going to go Nets, Warriors. Oh, these two teams. KD. Yes. What do you mean double dip? Meaning like the warriors are kind of, I'm treating them the same way I'm treating the Nets, which is they're too good. They've got so much talent. They're going to figure it out. You got, you're betting on names. You know what I'm doing? I'm doing a guy off. Yeah, you're doing it. Hey,

I know, I know a bunch of names on these teams. That must be the best. Also, don't be shocked if the Nuggets don't be shocked. That's me. That's me tossing a name out there and just saying, don't be shocked. So I don't actually have to put any weight behind it. They have crazy injuries. Yeah. You basically did the, the, you did a free roll for a take where it's like, I didn't say that. I just said, don't be shocked. The Nuggets. You'll take all, you'll take a hundred percent credit if the Nuggets get there and you'll take zero percent of the blame if they don't. Don't be surprised. Yeah. Right. Okay. I like that. I'll say, don't be surprised at the Grizzlies. We all get don't be surprised. Hank, who's your don't be

surprised team? The calves. Okay. Okay. That's funny. Don't be surprised. They're going to beat the Nets. Jared Allen and Moby, are they playing? Don't be surprised. Did you see Kevin love stat line tonight? It was incredible. He played 14 minutes. He had 32 points, 14 minutes. He went eight for 11 from three. That's crazy. Don't let the boy get hot. They were playing against the Bucks backups, but who the fuck cares? And then I had a lot of Bucks fans. They're not the smartest people. They were just, I tweeted like, Oh wow, Bucks are limping into the playoffs. I knew they weren't playing anyone. Shout out to Drew Holiday for getting $307,000 for playing eight seconds today. I love those things. Those are the best. Okay. That's the show. Anything else?

Anything else we missed? Billy got anything we missed? Also, I have a, I have a big future on the pelicans to be in the playoffs after the playing games are over. Oh, how awesome would it be if Zion just somersaulted out there for the playing game? That would be cool. I'm off the pelicans because when we were in New Orleans, I bet on that on you. Yeah, I bet off yourself. Yeah, I know I should get off myself. I bet on the Lakers. The last game LeBron played until he fucking withdrew from the entire season and left all of Laker Nation behind. I bet on the Lakers on Friday night and they beat and they lost the pelicans. And then I forgot the pelicans were in LA for the entire weekend. So they were super hungover, partied

all weekend and got, and lost by like 30 to the Clippers on Sunday night. Got to be, got to be careful of those. Billy, what'd you got? A Scotty Scheffler is not actually related to Tony Scheffler. Yep. Nothing gets by Billy. I disagree. I disagree. Where'd you get that information? When I said it, if you, if you're watching the YouTube, when I said it, I don't know if we have Billy's reaction, but he like perked up in his seat, like, holy fuck. No, I googled it after sex. I did not know. Yeah, I know you did. Billy, sometimes it's actually endearing that Billy doesn't know that sometimes we say things on the show that are intentionally completely incorrect just to get that exact reaction. Like, did you look up? What did you look

up where Manchester was located when I said it was in South London? When I said it was in London? Yeah, no, I was a joke. Hank was pulling your leg. No, I'm just saying you asked if I had anything. I was like, well, I did actually Google that. You're right. I did do a quick Google. Yeah, we'll have more. I'm excited for the NBA playoffs. I'm pumped. I'm very, very excited. Don't be surprised. Except minus the bulls. That's going to be really, really sad. I might just be hacked for the entire first round. You know how, how meme sometimes does a fake Adam Schefter account? That would be a good rebrand. Adam Schefler. Just like a jacked up meathead version. Yeah. If the bulls won two games, I would be happy, but they're also in a bad spot just overall. It's

just everything fell apart. If they won two games, I'd be, that'd be kind of, that would be, hey, we, we, we, we acquitted ourselves well. We weren't, I'm not going to win a game. I'm not rooting for this to see Hank's personal demise, but I do think it would be good for the show if it ended up being a six or a Celtic series. I want it. Where was Hank again? There we go. Okay. Hank, I like it. I want it so bad. I also am just going to say this right now. If the Nets play the Celtics and the Nets somehow beat the Celtics, I think Frank, the tank should be allowed on this show for 10 minutes to laugh at you. Agreed. Fun. Just giggle. He's not allowed to say anything. Just giggle. I mean, it will be torture. It will be torture. Three numbers.

22. Six. 19. 25. 86 is out. Jake, new 18. You guys told me to win it with a different team. 91. Oh, reciprocal. Booth, Bay, and Wiscasset, Maine are considered the worming capital of the world. Love you guys. Oh, are we coming for your love, okay? Oh, are we coming for your love, okay? Oh, are we coming for your love, okay?
