yes to more plans and finally getting outside, running, walking, just moving again. It's the perfect time to upgrade your everyday go-tos with Bombas. Bombas sports socks are super comfortable and designed with sports specific tech for running, cycling, yoga, hiking, you name it.

I'm truly just blown away by these socks. They are a game changer. They're cushioned when you

need it, sweat wicking. They don't slide around. I could just focus on just going as fast as possible instead of constantly adjusting my socks.

We've got playoffs and we've got a two fur for the people we have our good friend Keat Yendell. Get you ready for any shell Stanley Cup playoffs starting this weekend. We're going to talk some playing tournament for the NBA. We're

going to talk about first round series, which is almost set. We still have the Friday night games. And then we have Francisco Lendor from the New York Metz in studio. And we'll finish with fire

fast, great Friday show going for you guys. And it is brought to you by our friends at Chevy. Draft season

is here, which means everyone suddenly thinks they're a GM, which is when you realize some picks just makes sense. Like having a Chevy Silverado Silverado has the power to haul pretty much everything, gear, grills, tailgate setups. So whether you're driving to a draft party, a road game, or towing a boat to the lake, you need a truck with strength, reliability, and the drive to go the distance. The same DNA you'll find in a Chevy Silverado has capable and dependable as you're

top to your draft pick. Silverado shows up and gets the job done and won't flinch when the pressure's on and doesn't take plays off when it comes to trucks make Chevy Silverado your number one overall pick. Check out the current offers and build your own Chevy Silverado at Chevy.com. Okay, let's go! , Friday night 10. Yeah, Friday night 10. Yeah, Friday night 10. Yeah, Friday night 10. Yeah, Friday night 10. Yeah, Friday night 10. Welcome to part of my tape presented by

draft kings. The crown is yours today. It is Friday April 17th and it's set boys Maxverse Hank, the Philadelphia 76ers have won the play in game against the Orlando magic. It was a decisive victory. I got to say, so I'm going to a little bit of a spot because I've said this before many times

“that I think the play in, I hate the play in in terms of its existence that we've now made at”

10 teams get a shot and owners can cling to the fact that they were the 10 team and they got a play, they played in the playoffs all that. The games themselves do rock. Yeah. And it is funny fun watching in a elimination game, which we watch with the clippers and wars, which you can get to. But now the sixers are officially in. I actually, I agree. I think in theory the plan game is it's a crock of shit, it's a gimmick that was, it was dreamed up to give the owners one more home game

and make you think that if you finish in 10th place you have a shot at winning the NBA title, which you don't. But I think that once you get in, I don't like to people policing the teams and fans celebrating winning the play in game. Right. Like, I think that's a good thing. Like, when do we have the T-wolves when a couple of years ago? It depends on, on, I think it's organization by organization. Like, short it. Hornets. Yes. Celebrate the fuck out of that. You guys have

had, and they're not even in yet, we'll know on Friday night if they're officially officially in. Right.

they should celebrate that. The clippers, no, I mean, they lost, but like, no, the warriors, no,

they've been there to happen there before. Yeah, right. The, the sixers should celebrate it. Absolutely. Now you get a shot at the cell. Now you got a shot at the crown. Yeah. And Max, it was a decisive victory. Max, he looked awesome. Play in P, look pretty good too. Andre Drummond. Yeah, I'd be better than in bead. Andre Drummond. I mean, Max. Massive three at the end. Andre is Drummond. Dagger three. Andre Drummond. Well, that Andre Drummond. So Max, you're pumped.

“The bag was rocking. The bag was rocking. What's the name of the St. Melhouse?”

Uh, it's the Xfinity Center that just. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Everything.

Yeah. Yeah. It's all happening at the X. Yeah. Do you know what's crazy about Andre Drummond?

Is that he and Joe and B to the same age? What? Yeah. That is crazy. Isn't that fucking wild? He could have won a lot of money off me. They're, they're, they're, they're both 32 years old. Andre Drummond turned 33 in August. Joe and B turned 32. Like, they're like six months apart. Drummond seems so much older. Like he's been around forever. He's been on a bunch of teams. And you just see him. You're like, yeah, that guy he's, he's on his last like, no, he's 32 years old.

He's my age. Yeah. He's younger. I saw someone shut up my guy. No escalators. He's a, a, a very good, uh, he's a Yukon fan account. And he, he, like, put out this tweet that also put me in his realm.

“Andre Drummond's younger than Aaron Judge. That's crazy too. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,”

that just don't have to think about it. It's more about baseball for the longest. Right. But it's nobody played in baseball. Andre Drummond, if you, if we asked everybody for this, we would say he's 36. Yeah. Like, you know, but yeah, he's, he's, he's so Andre Drummond might be better than Joel and Beat. The sixers, Max. You and you get to sell this this year. Andre Drummond is better than Joel and Beat. But I did have Max question. He still has his appendix ability as a availability. Max,

I was, yeah, Hank took my question. But it was going to be more, I was going to let Max answer it. Open ended. What your best ability is. Well, this bit is now dead because Hank just did the bit before you. So I was, you can still answer the question. Why are you afraid of answering that question? The team's in the playoffs. This side of the desk has no teams in the playoffs.

Yeah, Max. You, Max, I root for a loser. You can always just say that about me. No,

rooting for the bulls to lose in the play and the life of you. I'm very happy to bulls finally tanked and have a 20% chance at a top four pick. I'm happy that they're in the playoffs. I just, I'm not happy that I just have to deal with fuck face Hank over here. When obviously they're the better team, they're going to win. If it goes five games, it's a disappointment to the Celtics. That's according to Boston media. Um, and now I just have to deal with it. And like he's just

going to be rubbing in my face as if like he isn't in the position of like obviously, you have like a rebuildier for us. Our star player played like 20 games. It's not a rebuild. It's not a rebuild. Don't try to do that. I'm a gap here. It's not a rebuild here. No, it's a 100% must win. Yeah, you guys are, if you guys are the favorites to win the East. Max, I have a question.

“Yeah. Well, you have to remind us. I have a 100 win this year. Max. Yes. I have a question.”

PFT. I said yes. Okay. Yeah. Max. After the game, I saw a lot of the fans in Philadelphia saying, we want Boston. We want Boston. We want Boston. Do you want Boston? Nope. Next question. Is, yep, Mr. Cat? Yeah. Would you say this series is a can lose or a it is a loss? No, but next question, can lose or could win? We don't have our best player. Like, I think it's a might win or could lose. Meems. So I'm saying you don't have your best player. I'm

for a German's fine. Have the Celtics ever lost in the play. I say play off. That's massive favorites. Great question five out of the last six years. Good question. Was that a Hank? I asked question, Hank. Yeah. Mr. Cat? Yeah. Hank, was that a question for memes or Connor? That's Connor. Yeah. Hank is doing government names on me. I got it. We got it. We got it. I got to just protect Zach. I'm worried about like the virus. The booths of iron. And Christopher.

What did I? What have I done to you? Other than just call me fuckface. Yeah, well, you are fucked. You're fucked. You're fucked. That is the virus that I have. No, no, no, no, no, no. I said is a thousand percent fair. Hank, I get a question. Hank, we watched him. We watched a game in February where you were doing two, two in your forehead after every failed me. No, no,

Fuckface. I think I got a question. And yeah, Zach has a question. He's been right. What?

“I'm asking for for Hank. I think you have to call on somebody. PFT. Okay. I don't get the government”

name. That's only for the booth guys. Hey, Connor Christopher Henry. The big, the two seas. Have you thought about, um, about how this is going to look if you happen to lose against the sexers, because you are in full on cocky Hank mode. Yeah, where I can tell that you actually are not worried about the

sexers. Never have been. Definitely I'm not this year. The, the jerseys were cool last night.

I'll, uh, credit to Philadelphia and the sexers, they looked cool. Uh, it's very, that's very nice of you. That was a good comment. They are great jerseys. Awesome jerseys. The, the court was kind of glowing. If they lose the suburbs over. You're not gonna, but they're not like, that's not just got me. Yeah, that just made a move a little bit. Yeah, let's unpack that a little bit. What does the summer's over mean? I will just, it will, uh, like, all right, yes. No, the spring, the spring is over.

Yeah, no, I mean, this would be a dark hole for, for two full months of just like, having to watch basketball games. Right. In pain. Max. This is the approach. If you're 16

“seed right now, like, no one's expecting it, but if you, if you somehow beat the Celtics,”

this is the, you just own hand. I've already, yeah, I've also already said if we beat the Celtics, that's, that's an MBA finals. I don't care what happens the rest of the rest. I also, again, like, not not worried weapon mode coach coach the other day, how many fired up, completely fired up. But I did, you know, again, you have to think about the worst case scenario. It would be, like, I, it would be, it would, it would happen at, at Max's Bachelor party.

If the sellers were gonna, yeah, it would probably be game seven. Yeah, that's Saturday.

Oh, that would be a real shame. That would be incredible. I, of course. We're gonna get a

game seven and Celtics are gonna win. I have a question. Like, that's just how this goes. I have a question. I have a question. We're not getting a game seven. Max, okay. I, I would rather four. I agree with you. You, you're, you're, you're, you're big time underdogs. Sixers have not been good this year. Uh, again, two and two against Celtics. So I mean, it doesn't have an appendix. But Andre, drumming is 32. Andre, drumming is starting. Andre, drumming is 32 years old and he's good.

“Max, how many games in this series do you have to win to be roped in?”

Two. I've already, I've already said one will not, will not move the kneel. Well, not move the kneel. Well, not move the kneel. What if it was the one? Can I, can I? No, it's awesome. No, that's the one that I think is, that's what they want that they want to try and make. They want to get you all with games. That's a lie. If they were game one, you're, you're roped in. Yeah, I think, I think if I'm telling myself right now, it's two.

But if you win, it's probably one. If you win game two, and it's tight, I think at any point, if this series is tight, after zero, zero, you're going to start to get roped in. It also depends what, what, what, and beat statuses. If it's like we, you know, Andre, drumming, Austin, and stops, stop saying Andre, drumming. If they split, if they split in Boston, and it's like, oh, yeah, and beats coming back, coming back for game three, then maybe.

Would he, but if would he start behind Andre, drumming? Zach, you had a question? Six man to hear. My question was going to be how many games, but if you do win game one, are you going, what are the odd you just go on a percentage? What if he's by end? Just let's do it. Well, we've already done this with the Celtic. We've won game one against the Celtic.

Is it for years? And different things? Yeah, that team was better. Okay, this is all just an exercise in lying to ourselves, because we know, we know once the ball is tipped. Max is going to get into Max mode. I don't know. I don't, yes. So he has been very down. It's rightfully so on the six. When the ball, when the ball is in play, Max is going to be mad.

The only difference, Max, I would, because we were having this discussion off air. Like how, you know, when the bulls would get in the play, and I would, I would be like, I don't want to go get just fucking killed by whoever's, you know, actually in the playoffs. The only difference I'd say is the six just do have good players. Like Tyre's, Maxie is really good. Paul George, playoff P, Andre Drummond.

They have these VJ Edge Chrome. That's the guy that like if VJ has a game that where he looks fucking awesome, that would get me excited. That would get me in. You know what I like about VJ Edge Chrome? Maxie too, but Maxie just, Maxie does it every game,

and it just, it's just never enough. So it's like I feel bad for him,

because he plays so hard, he plays so well every game, but the team just isn't good enough. Besides the dunking, my favorite, my favorite part about VJ Edge Chrome is when he shoots a terrible three, and then immediately points at himself. He's like, hey, that's that one's on me, guys. Like when he shoots an airball, he will let everybody know like, hey, that was bad. That's,

He said he's not scared of anyone. I got a question to defend the best player. I got a matter of who that is. I got a question. So he's going to defend Jalen Brown. Probably him. I have a question. This is for Connor or Zachariah. Would you guys rather put the sixers or the Celtics Celtics. Wow. I've been fucking thinking about this

first like two months. He's just thinking about it in the shower. I've been thinking about in the shower.

“You've been thinking about the shower. He's my whole every single time. That's how you just want it bad.”

I want it. Max, are you looking at that fucking face? Are you thinking about the Celtics in the bath? No. I'm not. Yeah, memes. memes fired up. Yeah, the next you're coming. memes is ready. I, that was such a difficult game for me to watch last night because I watched and it's like, I root for my team to win, but it's like in the back of my head, like I would be like, well, if you lose this game, it's not the worst thing. Yes, that's the patch where I hate the plan.

That's because anyone's in the plan is not a good team. I wanted to make the playoffs. I just wanted to play the pissons instead of the Celtics. Yeah. I'll see you're scared of Celtics. Yes, the Celtics have dominated me dominated me. What? Like why would I think that anything different

would happen to into this year? By the way, you never know. We talked about the game real quick.

The magicard, the biggest bummer in the world. Yeah. Watch, that team stinks. They are.

“They just play just basketball that's not fun to watch. How long? Thanks. How was so bad?”

He was like seven for 22. He just, it's like my turn. Your turn offense. Oh, I don't know. I don't know what happened to him. Last year there were so much, they played a fun brand of basketball. I can't wait to watch this team grow up and continue to get better. And then last night it was like just ended at half time. Yeah. I don't know. Feels like they need like a true distributor. And they were close. I'm not saying that that's the guy.

Like doesn't aim was wapping some rainbow threes that kept it close. I'm not saying that the the six are blew them out. What I'm saying is just like it felt like they felt like a bummer. Even when they were winning, yeah. It didn't feel like there's any positive vibes at all coming from Orlando. Yeah. Max, maybe ride the momentum. You're wanting to own the playoffs so far? Yep. True. Mm-hmm. It would be awesome to play off game this year.

If it were six or six games seven, me and my brothers would be. My brothers would have to break. We'd have to break the the no documentation rule on your bachelor party. We'd have to we'd have to. We have to get some clips out for the people. The people would demand. Yes. Yes. Yes. A demand clip. And he's at the gift from the Battle of the Bastards. It wasn't one guy. He gets like the entire army. Yep. That's that is Hank. You can get on the

entire 20 family. Yeah. Who? If there is, if if Jop's okay. Then I'll top. Also John Salad

“the other day. Quick a mission. I said he was south. He was the north. Oh, okay. I think of the north. Nice.”

Yes. Very much kick of the north. You just want to support the south. Yeah. The if God is in AWL, he will give us this. He will deliver us this. I'm convinced he is. Yeah. He hated fantasy fuckboys. He hated hated. Okay. Other other playing games. But I also wouldn't want to, it's like, I mean, yes, you would. Yes. Like it's a national party. I do like max. Like I don't have fun. You want to get a game seven. It's not going to get the games. Yeah. You're right.

All right. All right. A official prediction for the for the series. I did put out a poll last night on x.com. The everything happens all happening on x. And I said, who you got? Celtic sixers. I used Hank. Your workout picture as a logo for the Celtics and then Max Soulpatch for the sixers. Right now, it's at 50 50. It is a perfect split amongst the AWLs. I would assume mostly AWLs that voted on this. And yeah. Max 50 50 nobody. We don't know. Max

you just think about it this way. Just break it down this way. You get one Tyree Spaxy game. You get two Andre Drummond games. And then maybe in Beats back to help chip in a little bit for the VJ edge, come playoff pgame. Yeah. I mean, if you think about it like that, two Andre Drummond games. 200 Drummond games could happen. Yeah. I think you get four maxy games. You might be able to. Okay. Let's, you know what? Let's do picks for what we'll do. Are we doing what are we doing?

you ready for this one you ready for this one it's going to be looking hard 19 points three bounds in assists whoa okay he's been he's got he they don't have guys he's got to he's got to get some usage oh okay max what's yours I am going to take I'm gonna ride my guy drunken yeah you will no no we're in Saturday games yeah Saturday game but we'll make it it we'll make a drunken exception no we won't make it we don't need to do a drunken exception

uh Macauber just 13 plus points okay all right sounds good but on the draft King sportsbook did you see that Luca and Kate counting him got a special exemption so they will be eligible for postseason or postseason not the postseason awards I did see that so Luca got his because he had sex yeah and he missed a couple games because he had a kid yep and then uh Kate got his because like in the spirit of the rule he tried his lung claps yeah he tried to play as much as he could

correct uh and then did you see that uh PFT was right Wimbie's game that he had for the play are for the NBA Cup championship that counted towards that 65 mark the stats inside the game do not do not count for a season totals really dumb rule very dumb rule I mean speaking all

“counter none of the guy and then I think Anthony Edwards he's appealing whether or not”

his season took out and then he's I think he got rejected in the first round so they're going

to in appeal of his behavior I don't know it's just like they tried to say that the stars should not sit out games ever yeah and then it just kind of backfired on so the other playing games the Warriors Clippers it was essentially like going to seeing the Rolling Stones in 2026 where you're like yeah you know look they're old they're not the same but the song still rock yeah DREAM on locking down Qui is awesome Steph hitting just getting nuclear in the third quarter

and then hitting an improbable but not for Steph three to win the game it was awesome and and Steve Curry even said it after he's like we felt like ourselves for one night and I just like the Warriors aren't going to do anything in the playoffs but it was a reminder how awesome Steph and DREAM on Dar and how much fun it is to watch simply basketball especially Steph and it's just like man I'm going to miss this when it's gone and in cherished the cherished

a good old days where we still got a little bit left is pretty amazing at the end yeah the

way that DREAM on single handedly won the game on defense at the end just by locking up Qui for the last like two minutes of the game he did absolutely nothing and then after the game I saw Steve Curry said that DREAM on is the best defender that he's ever seen I mean he was his credit but which is like it's crazy yeah but it's not but when you think about the guys that Steve Curry's been around I mean he we're talking about four of the top I don't know analytics all

that stuff but just off the top of my head it's probably four of the top ten or fifteen defenders

“of all time I think so because you got maybe five because you got David Robinson you got Tim Duncan”

you got Dennis Rodman Dennis Rodman Scott he's got been Michael Jordan I would say Bruce Bowen too right yeah but that's it's crazy so straight and I might have Bruce Bowen might have been too late for him but the the point stands which is like DREAM on is that good at defense he's

he's incredible he he put Qui in a torture chamber and Qui even said it after he was just like

I couldn't even get a shot up he admitted it so the the the clippers listen I think he just got to have one more year with Qui and just see how it goes they are since Qui are sit the last five

this weird shit that happens twenty two miss the playoffs twenty three lost in first round twenty four

lost in first round twenty five lost in first round twenty six miss the playoffs got to give it one more year maybe it will work it's gonna be really interesting to see what happens with the NBA's investigation too yeah because we have no idea what the outcome of that's gonna be and it could be bad thank Qui is a perfect example of make sure if you're if you're a really really good basketball player you know one of the best of this generation just make sure you win your rings early enough that

people can you're unassailable because the last five years have not been great but then you just like yeah he was what he did with the raptors what he did with the spurs you want to final MVP's like you can't he is a playoff killer he just hasn't been the raptors that really made it that that to find

his career it's like you can you can never say anything that shot you know yeah we can't do you

“remember that shot that you had to get six or something that was an absolutely crazy shot the craziest”

part of the last night and it was it was so much fun again to watch seven drama on do their thing the clippers losing that game they now forfeit their pick to the thunder and the thunder have a seven percent chance to move into the top four could great good there's a world where the Oklahoma City Thunder could have the number one pick in the NBA draft great that's Adam stole from all George trade which is maybe one of the worst trades vaults Adam silver wants to fix

the NBA just just just take over some of the thunder picks yeah for the good of the league and this is the last pick swap like part of the Paul George trade but if you thought it was over I'm pretty sure the thunder have another one with the clippers next year because the James Hart can we do the one lottery sim real quick it's crazy they also have the sixious first round pick this year oh man sim the ball the walk the box the walk in the pelicans okay where's jazz jazz

Dallas that would be not the right yeah who I take that go with bulls number four was number one I'd sign up for that right now who bulls number two the bulls also got the I was a big play in game night for the bulls on Tuesday night because Kobe white was it it was like as much as the bulls I was so happy they weren't in the play in it's like hey let's make sure that we have our fingers all over this because Kobe white making a huge three for the hornets and then the blazers winning

and then they give the pick to the bulls so bulls now have two first rounders yeah so that's the big win but the hornets game was awesome I do think I think limelobol should be suspended okay I think that it's good that we're talking about it yeah but I I it was so dirty is a very dirty

“play I don't think you should be suspended I think a slap on the wrist for for now here's why”

I think you should be suspended I think it should always be like bam went out for the game right

but you can't base a suspension on like what happens after you do the thing can you no my my in my rules yes in my rules it's hockey if there's blood yes to sit out in my rules if you injure if you injure a player with a dirty play you are out for as long as that player's out but what if you injure a player who's like constantly injured like Joel and Beat like or you're gonna be like oh that's really bad you gotta get your appendix out you gotta have to have

yeah you gotta get emergency surgery but what if you do them a favor by injuring the player and then they got an impact so like drama jumps in I do then you do get like one get out of suspension free car to keep in your body maybe you guys agree like that was incredibly dirty it's very dirty yeah

“is incredibly incredibly dirty but I also think about this big cat if if you're if you're”

looking out for the safety of the greater Charlotte area you would rather have limelable at the game not out there on the street true that's a good point it's also so entertaining yeah look I'm happy the hornets one I'm just calling out that exact play I just there are plays that happen where someone gets injured and you're like there's nothing they could have done he yeah he swept the leg is you want you want a series of the hornets much you we talked about

the match yeah yeah no I'm got it you gotta look the other way under the sake of your own entertainment watch hundred percent rooting for for the hornets and they also survived just a horrible cognitive might where he got benched and the heat or a bummer they're going to pat Riley I think said they're going to go and try to find a find a guy this year who'll be the who'll be their their number one player yeah mean the horn option the heat have been just like playing

way I'd say like way above where they should be even by making the play in games all these years like they have not had a good roster no but then then the blazers big wind for the blazers taking

that our friend Tommy Alter had that uh had that interview with Denny did you see that clip

where Denny's like yeah I was shocked the bulls didn't take me they took Patrick Williams instead didn't know a new who that was no I didn't see that and then Denny went and dropped a 40 piece in the play in game yeah he's awesome Denny's Denny's a good player former wizard I'm okay with trading Denny away though yeah we both fucked that up we both fucked up Denny we had him and then we we were like okay we'll try to build around Denny for a little bit

yeah and I think I actually think that Denny might be like the perfect guy to get you to that seven seed if he's your main guy do you guys want to do what memes where you laughing at you don't give a fuck about the ones I would like the ones just to be good

“you can't build around that guy can you know that's what I'm saying I don't mind that trade”

dude next year at this time me memes we're saying the same thing we had we had him

and then now people are retroactively looking at the wizards getting rid of them and being like oh they fucked that up I'm fine we're getting rid of him I'm okay it's also the same guy that we couldn't remember his name I'm fine with retroactively saying the Patrick Williams was a bad pick that we all knew kind of at the time and then giving him an extension was even worse I have a question for PFT uh Henry uh this time fast forward

one year from today what seed are the wizards going into the playoffs I think we're going to be the fun play in team we're going to be the whole of the Davis and Tray young yeah the fun young play in team yeah young very young Anthony Davis I did it was very funny listen to Anthony Davis and like his uh his exit interview this year they asked him like if he wanted to play in DC next year he's like you know I'm encouraged by some things but I want to see like more about what

the plan is going to be Anthony Davis is the plan he's a bit he's like the main part of the plan yeah like we that's a guy that you plan around correct now I'm planning around him being healthy

“I think he I think he's going to turn it all around I think next year is the year that he puts it”

all together and stays he's able to get out there and play that 65 games and make him eligible for an award but yeah with with a high draft pick I think with the young core I will be a wizards fan but they have to earn my trust in my fandom and at this point I don't think that it's a plan game would warrant that you can yeah you can call me a fair weather fan I would probably agree with you that I'm maybe even worse than a fair weather fan but I think it's deserved with that franchise like

I'd be I'd be fucking insane if I watched every single wizards game how many people out there have watched every wizards game this season and then out of that group how many of them have what you would call a well adjusted constructive life probably zero right no sane person watch is every wizards game nor should they yeah I'm not going to put myself or subject myself to even watching half their games or a quarter of their games until they show that they have

“a winning product or at least a product that can get exciting and I think that with”

the damage of triumphant. Anthony Davis triumphant uh Tray Johnson uh Bubgarington saw that's a good young core add in a high draft pick next year will be like the 8c sounds like your little scared I I want Boston next year uh do you guys want to do a little embrace debate that's probably the dumbest thing that I've ever come across well at least for let's say in the last month because I come across a lot of dumb shit it reminded me of member of the old you

loved it PFT the body forum debate when the week how many days in the week yeah how many bodybuilding dot com hi week days anyway yeah the this is this is my numbing but maybe I'm maybe I'm stupid you ready for this so this is from Jacob uh Gurmena he he he screenshoted a comment that was talking about an NBA team and he said that this person dirt slayer one two three said hate to nitpick because I like the content plenty but 46 and 36 is only five games above 500 not 10

and then there was an entire discussion the raptors were 46 and 36 this year that's is that 10 games above 500 or five games above 500 and people were actually arguing that it's five games above 500 are you my crazy if they had lost five if they'd lost how many wins you say 46 there are 46 so that thought experiment what if they had lost five of those games of the 46 games that they won would their record be 41 and 41 or would it be 41 and 36 right but

10 games above like that's 10 games above 500 I think it might be a basketball baseball to be

baseball you never say no you would say your 10 games above 500 if there's 82 games in a season yeah

what would 50 50 V 41 and 41 so if you add five games to 41 so this actually that's not

five hundred you're if you lose the next 10 games you didn't you can be 500 you very

“your 10 wins above not answer my thought experiment no I get what you say because the”

seasons over but your your 10 games above 500 if you're 20 and 10 are you 10 games above 500 or you five games above 500 if the outcome of five of those games have been different you would be five so this is so this is what some of the dumb people in the comments are arguing it's mine now I'm a hundred percent just just being a decade about it no one in in history has ever said that your five games above a lot of people are here is my favorite exchange this guy replied if they had

lost five more games you're arguing if they lost five more games it'd be 41 and 41 so five games about 500 and then you replied if they lost five games it'd be 46 and 41 they go back and forth and someone said by this logic a 41 and 40 team is a half game under 500 and in the person replied that's right that part just fuck me up like if you're not even eight in an NFL season you're one game you're one game above five hundred yes so that's the same thing

the same line so yeah I agree with that if you're 41 in 40 yeah and you lost and you flipped a loss for a win for a loss you'd be a half game okay now yeah the person said that's right yeah now and then he replied so team with one more win than a loss would be under 500 even though they quite literally won more games than they lost so now we're like yeah we're getting some metaphysical shake as you could say in the in the Raptors case if they didn't have 46 wins let's say they're

they were missing five of those wins that could also be because those games never happened it could

be because the games weren't played then they would be 41 and 36 meaning at that point they're five games above 500 yeah I just the absence of a win does not necessarily indicate the presence of a loss it's the dumbest argument like I said I I happened upon it and I was like I bookmarked

“you because I was like holy shit this is this is incredible I do think and I think I know you're”

trolling I think he's serious I think he actually thinks it's five games above 500 thanks never been in that position because this team's always win the it really is comes out to max don't you agree it comes down to like baseball fans versus basketball like baseball fans you would never say anything anyone yeah no if there's so many people who are saying this in here those people are they just have

never talked about records before it's crazy they're all saying it they said this is one guy said

I'm calling it five games above 500 I thought that was pre-standard a 10-0 team is not 10 games above 500 that silly yes they are yeah they are I I like to think that there's a lot of trolling going on that thread did but there's a lot of serious this I'm gonna have to inject myself because your what the argument that you threw out there is what people are actually going right that's where they're like oh well wins become losses so then you're only five games above it that's exactly how you would argue that

if you were more on yeah okay other stories before we get to our interviews talk some NHL playoffs and we have Francisco Lindor Hank would you like to comment on live golf yeah the Mexico City open is uh is this week to pick event pricing the shambles looking to become

the first player in live golf history to win three events in a row so history in the making yeah

hey um comments for real wars man wars bad okay wars bad go on war is destroying live golf league that's the real problem with war not the lives lost yeah I mean a lot of live lives are being lost yeah lives are being lost yeah how many lives is it gonna take until we say until we say no more like Hank is when you think about Hank is that guy in Tiananmen Square standing in front of the tank there wasn't element of like fake news yesterday by the way oh yeah forever for people so

“so go for who I like he's a great follow very like dedicated this guy is I think his Twitter”

name is like Monday Q info Ace is one of one golf or something but he he just basically would be like follows like you can Monday qualify to get into PGA Torvents he follows the Monday qualifiers like reports on it talks to like corn fairy guys and is like very very into the weeds of golf and qualifying for these events he was the one that broke it he was like I have inside sources that they're saying live is is ending and you know if like take the under basically on like

whatever you heard like it's ending soon and he said that in a Twitter space is then it felt like throughout the dress of the day the golf and like all media aggregate accounts just started posting that it's fact so then everyone was just like live golf is over like that was the sentiment

confirmed but then when all the other you know news outlets are saying that it's like maybe

this is true this this could be the end of the live so that like when you when you you tweeted it pick out you guys were all saying like it was over then the you know part of the power is that be absolutely in Mexico City and the the CEO or whatever said that you know the the tour is going on like this the song is going on yeah everyone's been getting paid that was fake vote of confidence not getting paid and we're going till the end of the year we're still playing 54 holes

72 72 72 we're still wearing shorts wait they change it yeah when did you that was sure so it's going on for the rest of the year that's like when the CEO's like hey everything is fine

with the company I just need everybody to put in like 25% extra overtime and we can't pay a more

but we're all pulling on the same rope here yeah and I'm I then I'm probably talking a little over my head now I'm not not a geopolitical guy but uh no it seems like the the PIF and they know all the Saudi money they are redirecting their money the war is taking its toll five football I don't know I don't know they're pulling the plug on that too oh really the Brady's flag it's in it's in danger oh no the war yeah the war the war the war in the Middle East has taken

its toll oil money prices of the straight-of-war moves yeah the straight-of-her moves which whatever no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no you not whatever that

this is this is this is a non so this is this is it was a joke uh the was watching survivor

and and the Trump press conference came on the middle of it and I was I wanted to tweet like no one gives a fuck about the straight-of-her moves like with the current survivor back on

“that was a joke but but no I I think I was mad I was like why like what we're about to go to”

tribe right now like and we're talking about the straight-her moves I think that maybe live golf was in jeopardy because of the war but then they found out that we were actually going to put a blockade on their blockade it was going to be double blockade and then in BS was like okay we're back we're back we saw that that was close but regardless it seems like this will probably be the last year or no unless they can get money from outside sources you guys understood

and investing and dealing with those kinds of stuff so that's not failing they've been it's isn't why do they need money from outside sources because they're not getting money from the Saudis got it but that's but it's so it's failing in that how much how much money did they make last year what was there a profit last year four shrewpucks I think it was somewhere in England

“said that they in England alone I think it was negative 500 million I mean I don't know how”

understood you don't know how to run a business like that's actually a good thing yeah yeah that's right that's right yeah but they you know what the they've gotten sponsors they've gotten they've done stuff and also the memories you made along the way those are you can't put a price tag on them no like the time that John wrong more shorts yeah 15 minute naturally when in Chicago that was what was that was outside of they actually emailed they actually set up our uh one of our sales

guys and he it was like live once a sudden you bunch of stuff what you're address it's because they need to like clear out the warehouse I just hope they sent it like I don't I was hoping to be here today don't think MBS would chop things up and sell them for price I will save live has any banners that they want to sell us I will absolutely buy like a smash GC 2025 championship banner we got to go back and look through all the promotional shit that they did my my favorite

“live memory I think was when Bryson came out on stage at a rock concert I think it was also”

at a golf tournament and then he like jumped up it was like let's go Connor Bryson talking about the way you don't I don't want you because you you're saying lives not dead EBT I whatever so we got away we're not going to do I I told Hank on Monday or Tuesday I said I want your top 10 live memories but sounds like we're going to survive this season so I don't want you to do it this season's going to be epic oh it's going to be one to remember where are we going next uh

Mexico City and then we're not sure okay so probably like Singapore yeah you you got the schedule down uh these questions for Hank can you name every ace ever to the point all right we got Dustin Johnson yeah we got Pat Perez Harold Varner Peter Ulin twin Thomas's Thomas Peter's Thomas D treat Tom Tom's Anthony Kim uh he found a he found a do a how close are they how many more are

I don't think Goot was a for is this is so hot wait okay we're going to go off the air

forgot Oliver Becker Sean Norris and Kevin you won those guys were never did you get

Miguel Tabuena those never an ace you get Thomas Thomas you got the two times did you get Harold Varner yeah Taylor Gooch he's on that I said that I just said that okay Patrick Reed Patrick Reed I mean what a ride it was if this is the end I don't want to say I would love there's one guy who who I would really love to to catch up with and know what he

“knows it's Brooks yeah oh well that's why I'm kind of rooting for live to end like right now”

because no one would have timed it better than Brooks he's a genius he just went in Patrick Reed has to get a little slap on his wrist in the PGA and he's back but like he's he's so much farther advanced yeah right and like the like people are like live what a disaster and he's on the other side being like oh live what a disaster yeah because he he he he he left those guys think it yeah he left when live was still existing if live stops

to exist the John wrongs the Patrick Reed's a Bryson's they have known to go Patrick Reed left to yeah but the Bryson and the John Robbs they've known to go Sheation like they've no leg to stay the PGA told him back when Brooks was leaving you have like two weeks to make her decision yeah and then if you don't make a choice leave that's your choice you'll have to live with it and so the guys that didn't leave it's like they

already made their choice so now the PGA is gonna come down hard on him yeah and like Patrick Reed he's been on the D.P. World Tour yeah right he's so he's got like he'll be back double penetrated we can't yeah you're pin oh he'll be back next I like the thing that's started next year like it's like a year from when he defected right so what are the other

“guys gonna have to do that's what people are saying maybe they might they might have to get”

double penetrated or they might have to sit out the rest of the live season to start that clock with that corn fairy I don't know they might have to requalify it is sad

caddying Phil Nicholson probably he's never you're never gonna see him like compete again

which that sucks because he still did well you could still play the masters he won still play the masters and I think he won in 2021 so it might be his last five year exemptions for all the majors uh because he won the PGA but so this is probably his last year for that the kid Michael Assassin who was the National Championship at Ole Miss last year which gets you a spot at the masters he for for for for what it's for for good for good for good

uh for good to become professional join live and then with less than a year like that's all done so it's like what the fuck does he do like there's some there's some young guys that it sucks for and it's just sad it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it

scenario tale that I'm sure we'll never repeat again. You know what also is sad like

if you're good for the game of golf though, it's like it. It disrupted the PGA toward forcing to make changes for the better for the players. Bigger purses, bigger you know better events like talking Louis. What how big a person's can you get? No like

“bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger prize points. That's Kelly Martin. I think that with”

this, if you were to say it's good for the game of golf, I would probably. It's made me reach three, think about war, I'll tell you that. Big time. Right? Because what's good for? Yeah. Up until this affected your live golf viewing, you were like, I'm in for war. Yeah. And now I'm the up. I was always ready to get drafted. I was trying to like get under the under the age requirement. I think you're still good. I think you

are raised that. But now Mike, now I might. Yeah. Yeah. Another sad thing is that in like 30 years, the plot of Happy Gilmore 2 is going to make no sense. Yeah. There's like an upstart golf league that's really sad. Like driving around on on ATVs and shit. I have no idea what it was Perry said. Yeah. Very sad. The other thing I had, two more things. PFT. I have two things for you. First is because we just did our international golf correspondent. You

are international soccer correspondent. Is the world cup going to suck? Yeah. I think the world cup is going to suck. Are we fucking this up? I think I think we're real. I think everyone's fucking it up. So I think it's not. So if you, if you've seen the news, we've had a couple news stories break. One of which was the New Jersey transit, they're planning to bump their $12 train ticket from New York City to MetLife Stadium to $100. Yeah. There's

And then what was the, there was, there was, yeah, no tailgating at Foxboro. I feel like Philly might have stood up and stop. You might be able to tailgate and Philly. Yeah. I would be offended. If I, I could be wrong about it. It's crazy. That we know tailgating at

“MetLife. Yeah. Well, here's the thing to be cat. MetLife is the, I'll let you know”

those words already a joke. Yes. Like it's a joke of a, of a representation for like the biggest city in, in our country. Yeah. Your day has spent getting in and out of MetLife Stadium or Hell on Earth. Agreed. It's, it's a terrible place, terrible location. And just overall

terrible experience. But yeah, the little secret about the world cup is it always sucks. Yeah,

the world cup sucks. I, I went to the one in in Qatar last time, which was until then, maybe the suckiest world cup of all time. And that one, that one sucked because it was like, maybe half a week or a week before kickoff. Mm-hmm. And then Qatar was like, actually, we're not going to have any beer at all in the stadium after people had like already arrived for the games. And then they had just had like pallets of beer that they had to, to ship back.

How can you not tailgates? I don't know. I, I don't know how they're going to operate this, but FIFA is a cartel. It's, uh, it's organized crime that has a, uh, a death grip on world soccer.

“And it always has been. And Khan Kaka, especially has been like right in the throws of that.”

So yeah, it, it's basically one giant grip. And it just so happens that they have control over, which should be the most fun tournament in all of sports. Yeah. As a term that I still love, I, again, if you heard talking soccer on last episode of part of my take, I don't give a fuck about European soccer. I don't care about the EPL, the La Liga, outside of Tottenham getting relegated. That's about as far as my interest goes.

But when it comes to the world cup, I love the tournament. It is my favorite tournament in sports, I think.

And, uh, but it's always run by people who are openly antagonistic to their consumers,

to their fan base. And it's not going to change if anything, it's just going to get worse. It's going to suck. Zach, by the way, reminder, we need the update on Tottenham. 18th. That's Saturday. Yes, sir. Yeah. Mm, got you. Who do we got? Tottenham on the 18th. Brightening. Brightening. Brightening. Brightening. Yeah. Up the goals. Yeah. New last thing was congratulations. B after your new uniform drop. Thank you. Yeah. I do think that

the commander's uniforms was like the the most easy, no doubt. Don't fuck this up of all time.

“And they didn't fuck it up. The only thing that I saw that was very nitpicky, and it's, I think we just”

have too many graphic designers. We can talk about old W. No, it was, it was someone said that, that the the the arrow going through couldn't actually. Yeah. Okay. No, that's what I'm talking about. I don't care. I've, uh, I've thought way too hard about the spirit going through the W. But first, let me just talk about the uniforms. The uniforms themselves. They're perfect. It's like what we wore from 1980. It feels like through 2012. They're great uniforms. They're simple.

White, the burgundy, uh, the gold pants are awesome. The black alternate is a great uniform. They didn't fuck it up. Also, noteworthy is that you will not find the word commanders anywhere on these uniforms. There's the jobs. I think it's going to be like a, I could be wrong. It could be a five-year process of slowly turning the name into something else when we open up the new statements. It's really should just start with football teams. But they're, they're back to the

football team. Yeah, the football team are just so good. Like, I don't need, I don't need a cartoon bird to represent my team. We're a fucking football team. We play football bitch. But yeah, I have spent a lot of time looking at the spirit going through the W. And my biggest takeaway from that is that uh, this is really a great problem. If this is the biggest problem and issue that we have as commanders fans with a rebrand, that's, that's incredible because with Dan Snyder and that era,

he would have fucked things up so much worse. The W is physically impossible, but I don't give a fuck because it's, uh, it's colors that are on the side of a football helmet. And it doesn't really matter. In fact, if it's not physically possible, that'll probably just fuck up our opponents even more. Right. They'll be like trying to shift into a cover three. And then they'll just be caught looking at theory of a clearance home and be like, "That's not physically possible." Yeah.

It's an, I'm trapped inside of an MCS or football game. It is physically possible. But the only, the only downside or the only problem with the Washington Commanders logo reveals you got completely cocked by the new college football playoff logo. Uh, and the Rams? Well, let's talk about the

college football playoff logo first. Did you guys see it? It's fucking incredible. I actually didn't.

I was just staring. Oh, man. I was staring at commander shit all that. Get the cops. The Rams, what did the Rams even change? Oh, you guys got to watch. Look at the, look at the, look at the review of video. It's, it's groundbreaking. Well, go to the college football playoff. Uh, one first. There's too many things. You're sick. Oh, I said college football playoff. I want you to see it. That one would that one rule the day of the, of the best rebrand. It's not even close. I don't

We, there's a lot of things. You guys see the Rams. Look at that. Bring up the Rams real quick.

“Look at that though. You guys see that? It's a vagina. Do you see the old one? I see a vagina.”

The old one though. There's a big update. There it is. Look at that. Mm-hmm. Holy shit. Yeah. I don't even know what they did. They made it. It's a little bit. They had a sheen to it. Yeah. And they changed it to do that. And they changed it from cut. Young saw Bob. They changed it from college football playoff to CFP. It implies, like, the existence of a, a bright light that's reflecting off of the look. Pull up the, show the video of the, uh, fall long, Max. I've been, I'm trying to follow along.

My take on the Rams uniform is that the Rams uniform looks exactly the same. But it's better. No, it's not. It's the same. No, it's the same. No, it's the same. But better. It's clean boulder. Yeah. We can't even play this video. Okay. It's a show. So they can see it. I can watch it for Neil. Wow. They're now blue, yellow and white. Oh. It's the exact same. It means that the yellow is different. The yellow's different. And also, major differences. They don't have the stupid gradient numbers.

“Yeah. The numbers don't color change. I think the Ravens are unveiling something new tonight.”

Are they? I think so. So that will be cool. Yeah. New cargo shorts. This, this is how much did, did, this, how much the, uh, NFL owns our brains. It's like, hey, we got some new uniform. I mean, I did, I did, uh, I, I spent a lot of money on the commanders. I have a look McAfrey and every color way. I don't know about my door on Friday. I expect your guy. Even though the W looks like a taco holder, uh, I saw, it's, it's, it's miles better. Their uniforms are miles better. Agreed. Then what they were,

I, I think we said about this time last year. The worst uniforms in football. Now I'd put them, in my opinion, their top 10. Yeah. Probably. They look classic. Okay.

guest. Very, he's counting them. Who else is in the room, Yans? We got fish sticks and G money. Okay, so it's hockey players standing the cup playoff time. We want to have Yans on give us a little

preview before the first games this weekend. I'd like to start here and I don't know if I'm on the

outside or where we're like hockey commentaries at. I think to set up for these playoffs, I'm done with it.

teams have to play each other. Who's it right now? It's going to be the nights in the oilers or not one's not set. No, the Colorado Minnesota one. You're going to, you're going to be losing a

contender in the first round, which kind of sucks. It's crazy to me. And then I saw that, you know,

like in the East. What? Minnesota Dallas. Yeah, in the East, it's kind of similar where you have some really good teams that are going to knock each other out. Do you, do you think it's ever

“going to change back? And where does like hockey Twitter land on it? I think everybody's on our”

page that they want it one through eight. I know some guys like Ryan Whitney want one through 18, which I don't think will happen just because of the travel and stuff. But Betman loves this, the setup that we have now. He thinks it brings a lot more rival reasons to the divisions and stuff which I do agree with, but they got to figure a way to get it where it's one through eight, because when you lose in teams, especially nowadays with the parody of the league being so good,

when you're losing contenders in the first round, like at the end of the day, like guys are going to lose jobs over that, like a coach, if you lose in the first round, you could be on the hot seat, a GM, if you lose in the first round, you could be on the hot seat, even though you're going to lose to a team that, you know, it's going to eventually maybe go on to win the Stanley Cup. So it's tough. I would like to see one through eight. I don't know, Gary seems to kind of shut it

down every time it's talked about, maybe the numbers behind the scenes stuff are in his favor. So whatever he's doing right now, the leagues in such a good spot, you can't really question his, what he's doing. Yeah, like just for example, the sabers are back in the playoffs for the first time in 15 years, incredible story. The seven and eight, the flyers in the, and the penguins are playing each other, like if you just go straight points, and then the sabers have to play the fifth seed,

if you go straight points in the brunt, that's so stupid. Yeah, and, but that kind of feeds into what Batman wants is like that, the battle of Philadelphia or Pennsylvania with the flyers and penguins,

which will be awesome. Although series are always awesome, Sid rips up the flyers when he plays.

“So look for him to be a monster. So I think when you look at that way with the matchups that you get,”

you kind of, you know, agreeing with him, but yeah, you're going to lose good teams in the, the Boston Buffalo one as well. It's like, you know, you win your division. Oh, here you go. You get to play the brunt who have been great this year. Yeah, I grew a big cat. I don't like that. If you're trying to engineer rivalries to happen in the playoffs, like let that shit happen naturally and let that be a rivalry that like we can maybe hope to look forward to if everything shakes

out correctly in the playoffs. Not like you get it in the first round. I agree. I think that's, you got to go one through it. Every other sport does it that way. Yeah, I agree. I think it should be because, you know, what's the incentive to, you know, some of these games tonight, like there are some games that will matter, you're seeding and it's kind of if Anahime goes out and loses or if they, I don't know exactly what it is. If they lose, I think they play, uh, Edmonton, if they win,

they play someone or whatever it is. So you can kind of control your own destiny where guys, you know, the last few games you might want to lose on purpose to get a lower seed, which, you know, is sucky to watch and I know what happened to us one year and when I was in Phoenix, we, going into the last game, if we won that game, we'd play Detroit, if we lost, we would have played Dallas and we had played Detroit the year before and our coach was like, we're going to win this

game, we got a fucking, give it to Detroit because they beat us last year. So we go out, we won that game in San Jose, and then we got swept in four by Detroit. Thanks for coming. Yeah, it's tough. Um, so yeah, it's right off the bat. I've got to take, you tell me if I'm crazy, you know, a hockey casual, I start to lock in. If the caps are good, I'll watch all season, um, but I, you know, mostly we pay attention once it starts to get closer to the playoffs. I think that this is the

“Leafs year. I think that this is year. That's how you're going to understand the cup.”

And I didn't agree more. So can you tell me, like, okay, am I crazy to think that? Yeah, I mean, just like a lot of Leafs fans, it's a little delusional of yourself to say that, but yeah, it's not their year. They didn't make the playoffs last in the division. I think. Yeah, they're actually, I think if they win tonight, then they're out of the top five for draft lottery pick, which, which would be so Toronto to win this game. But yeah, it's, it's one of

those things. I don't see them getting better in the next few years either, and which, the only good thing about that is a lot of misery to our boy business. Yeah, that is a fun one. So sticking with two teams that are actually in the playoffs, the Bruins and the Sabers, great story with the Sabers, I like to build board. They put up with with their guy with, um, kind of shocked me. Yeah, he's a real idiot.

Like, can you imagine being that stupid? No, you guys never get bad takes. No, never. Never.

Ever. No. Yeah. You just have billboards of yourselves. I wasn't Chicago. All I did was see

like, people would put themselves out of business if they got a billboard every single time. The two wanted to put our stupid faces up there. But, um, we got the Sabers and the Bruins, from what I know about the Bruins, uh, really hot goalie, maybe the best goalie in the NHL this season,

um, is this a bad matchup for the Sabers? They finally, they worked their way back in the playoffs,

and then they have the potential of running into, uh, to the guy that can shut down their entire offense. Yeah. When you, when you think of playoff hockey, it's goal-tending, um, you know,

“goal-tending special teams will win your series. I think, you know, the Sabers have in such a”

good year. And then, like you said, it's like, they were warned as they get to play the Bruins with one of the best players in the league with David Postenock. And then, uh, you got Swamin in the back in there. So it's, it's one of those things where they didn't, where they weren't great against them all year. I think they were, uh, the Bruins were three and one against them. So, you know, it's, you think of that stuff going into the playoffs. How do we play against in this year?

How was our matchups? How did our big guys play? And, you know, their big guys weren't that great against them this year? Uh, kind of, you know, held to off the scoreboard a little bit. I don't think teach Thompson how to goal against the Bruins. How to couple assists. But, you know, those things are in the back your mind as a player is how you match up against teams. And, you know, for Buffalo, it, I think they just got to go in all, uh, all hard, you know, just kind of find ways. And,

I'm, I'm waiting to see if they have the, uh, the goat head jerseys to, to really lay my, to lay my bed on that first game, see what they're wearing, if they're rocking the goat heads

“that I'm pounded in them. Um, but I think at the end of the day that Buffalo, it's their year”

to at least win the series, go on, beat the Bruins, uh, Gernelli's not happy with me right now in the background, give me the finger. But, uh, I, I do, I think, I think they got the mojo coming into this year, since they fired their GM, they've been great, been on a, been on a nice little tear all year. So, they're a fun team to watch, fun team to roof four. They got some unbelievable players, Dali and one of the best demon in the league, uh, Tage Thompson, TNT, one of the best forwards,

power forwards in the league, a real throwback and shoot hit, do everything fights. He just a great player. So, that series to me, I think is going to be one of the best watches in the first round to, to great markets for TV watching as well. So, I think that'll be one of the best series to start it off. All right. So, you say going, Goli, uh, play obviously matters a ton and hot goalies at this time of year. What? Give me the best two goalies in the east, the best two

goalies in the west. Best two goalies in the east. I'm going to go, you, you got to go Vasilevsky in there, um, you know, with Tampa. He's got the track record. He's one, uh, he's huge. He can play the puck really well. He can bail you out. He's been in every situation. You can put him in right now. Uh, he's one Stanley Cup. So, I'd probably put him at the one spot just because of his overall

work and in his career and then I'd have to put Swimming up there too. He's been amazing this

year. Last year, a little bit of a slow start with the contract negotiations, stuff like that. But this year, he's been amazing, um, you know, obviously was part of that team USA team at one

“of the Olympics. He didn't pull, I think he only played one game, but still just being around”

those guys getting the confidence. So, I could see him being a real problem in playoffs. And then out West is a little difficult. Like you got Altinger who I think is the clear number one goalie in Dallas, but uh, and then you look at a team like Colorado who's got the wood brothers, uh, wedge wood and black wood, who both just great goal 10 niggas. So, if one guy's having an off night, you can go to another guy. I know that's not, you know, kind of how it is and playoffs.

You usually like to stick with one guy, but their systems worked for them over the last couple years, and I could see them, you know, going back and forth. So, I think out West, it's Dallas and in Colorado. What's the best series, uh, in the West to start? I know that we have like we said to start, you know, that the fact that the way this whole thing is set up, you have in the first round the stars playing the wild who are both teams that are better than everyone in the Pacific,

is that the best series that you're looking forward to? 100% in that honestly, that could be the West and conference finals any other year, but the way it is, we're going to lose one of those teams. But I think that those, both those teams have kind of been locked into where they are going to

finish for the last couple weeks. So, they have been playing amazing hockey or even, you know,

playing as hard as they probably will come playoff time. But I think that series is going to be incredible. We saw what Miko Ranton did last year and playoffs. The guys in absolute moose. You can, he can win you a series, just him alone. And then you get stories like White Johnson, who I think he's on a four-game goal streak right now. Jason Robinson, who's been an incredible all year. I know Hyskinen's going to be out for the first couple of games as of now and Dallas.

But, you know, when he comes back, he's in absolute stud on the back and the Minnesota Minnesota

player, defenseman. So, making huge, huge moose in the offseason during the season to bring

in players. And then, you know, little moose that they may, which I love was bringing in. I know you guys are boys with Nick Fulino. Like you bring in a guy like that. You see what he brings to that team even the short time he's been there with sticking up for teammates, fighting.

“He knows what it takes to win. He knows what it takes to win in the playoffs. And I think he's going”

to be a huge ad for them, just to have him on the bench, have him in the locker room. You know, keeping guys on us on the ice or someone gets taken advantage of, you know, he's going to be out there next shift, punching somebody's head in. I love that term moose, by the way. I've started to use moose a lot like in DC, we got to produce brothers now and they're both, those guys are both moose, right? Yeah, absolutely, mooses. Who are your, your top three moose in the playoffs?

Top three moose in the playoff. Top three, yeah, playoff moose. Ranton is the number one moose, then I'm going to give you a little one off the board here, is a, is a door off the fenceman for the bromance. He's an absolute moose, a Russian moose in my game. So yeah, I think he's six, seven, two, 50 or two, 60. He's an absolute machine of a human. And then

“one more, I'll give you a tage Thompson. I think he's six, five, two, 30. Yeah, you can skate like”

the wind and, you know, one of the best players in the league, but he's just that absolute mountain of a man, who's your top two beauties? Top two beauties in the playoffs, right? Yeah. Man, I'm going to go Nate, oh, yeah, pasta, I'll go pasta with one G, G game in that one. That's a layup of a, yeah, pasta's just all time. Like the clip should get of them off on the internet.

He, the stuff that he wears the games, the guys incredible. And then I'll give you, um,

because the beauty, get me, don't be, like, am I right in saying that a beauty has to both have the game, but also have the looks. Yeah, you can't copy an ugly beauty. Yes, speaking of speaking of ugly beauties. Hey, busy. Hey, busy. Hey, busy, busy. You want to come to a Max's special party? Do you want to come to Max's virtual party? Vegas, Vegas, May 1st, Vegas. If, if I don't have TNT, I would pop in for a night, or you guys go on the sphere and anything? Yeah, we're doing it. You've got to clear the sphere.

It's like, yeah, we got to know he works for TNT. Yeah, I heard that. Hey, tells everyone, we went to get a coffee. He was like, hey, I work for TNT. Can I get a benty ice? Yes, can you ask him, can you ask him the leaf question? Oh, Biz, he, uh, P, PFT was wondering if, uh, this is the leaf year. Son of a bitch. Son of a bitch. Well, I'll tell you who's in the year, it's not the Washington capitals. Oh, they're one of our year. We're over two one years this year. Look at this. Are you

wearing a Penn State hockey shirt? Yeah, we are. Yeah, yeah, they got them to count as not coming back. So they actually gave me some of the money. I'm going to come back to college and play a little bit. I love that five years of golf. You've already left it. You've got to finish all these golfers. The question I just asked Yens Biz was, uh, top two beauties in the playoff

this year. I like it. Give me my second one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, my second one. Individual, like

individual people. So I'm going pasta and I'm going Nathan McKinnon. Those are my two top top two beauties. Those are good. God. Like on and off the ice, they're saying. Yeah, you got to obviously, you know what it is. Yeah. Um, you can also give me your top two man rockets. You know, I'll give you one from the flyers, Trevor Ziegres. Okay. Like we did a sandbag or with them, just an absolute character. Uh, came over from an Ohio. He's kind of got that California vibe,

but he had a, he came over, had a great bounce back year with the flyers. And now they're obviously in playoffs. The battle of Pennsylvania is going to be unbelievable. Uh-huh. That's going to be an absolute

“shit show. And geez. I mean, the one other guy. Let me try to think here. Uh, can I come back here?”

Yeah, I'll give you the, I think the the biggest man rocket in all of playoffs. Yeah, is, is, uh, Marcus Felino. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, he's a stall. Yeah. Look them up. Don't take it. Exactly. Would you, if you, if you were had to differentiate between a man rocket in a beauty, what makes the difference? Uh, yeah, Marcus Felino is a fucking, he's a man rocket. Like, for instance, like, if they give you didn't watch hockey and you were a girl who showed up to a

game, if you saw Tom Wilson, if you're sent in front role, like, if I brought my wife or girlfriend, I'd make sure I'd cover her eyes every time he skated by her lined up for a face off next to us. Is that a man rocket or beauty? He's all of it. Yeah. He said, but I'm saying what's the difference? It's like a man rocket. A man missile. Well, oh, no. So one's guided. One is, it's like radar.

those and combined them. Okay. That's what Tom Wilson. Yeah. Yeah. That's the way. And then, biz, who are your top two moose in the playoffs? Uh, that's like a, I would put Marcus Felino as a moose. He's a moose man. Yeah. So he's a moose. He's a moose, he's a moose and a rocket. Yeah. Moose man, missile rocket. Wow. Yeah. Damn. Guys got it all. Yeah. I mean, I wish, I wish still capitals were in it because they had that line full of moose.

They have three, the three blind moose. The, the, the protest brothers in Tom Wilson over 700 pounds of meat. Yeah. It's old. I mean, crazy. But they, they need a two team bosses to get the games. Um, I'm trying to think of who else could be a, a good moose in the playoffs. All going the elevators

“together. No, no. Oh, you guys are putting me on the spot here. I said, Randan, Randan is, he's, I think”

that's his nickname. Yeah, him and Felino, both their nicknames are. You nailed it. What about right, Rand Burns is a moose too. Yeah. You know who, how old is he? I think he's 68. Yeah. That's good to say. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like, uh, Genomell can might be a moose too. He is a moose. So that's what I was going to pick as my other, uh, my other beauty. Oh, okay. More of a beauty than a moose. What about your, what about your top plumber? Um, like, to give him some love, I would say,

and it's a good pick up for Carolina. I would say Deloria. He's got great dance moves. I don't know if he saw his video at the elbow. Right. The elbow room is got some unreal moves.

But like, he's always a fourth liner. He doesn't move very well, but just an absolute beauty,

good character guy in a locker room. And he's, he's, he's a definitely a plumber. And then I'm trying to say cast or like someone does dirty work, who's the hard work or like kind of grinder. I thought it would be holy because they're between the pipe. You're not maybe maybe not like the most skills, but a plumber. I'm going to say cast or lick from the Bruins. He's a guy. He's going to be a problem in playoffs playing against them. He's got some decent skill, but he plays hard. He'll fight

anyone. Uh, he's a playoff hockey is suited for his style play. Uh, one series we've talked about a little bit the battle for Pennsylvania, the flyers and penguins feels like maybe the last ride for for this iteration of the penguins or we're getting towards the end with it. Uh, you don't think so.

“No, I think that that dubious is that an unbelievable job retooling this team and they got”

a lot of money to spend in free agency, not saying like there's a ton of unbelievable free agents available, but you know, they just they have good contracts. They, I mean, they'll resign genome. And I think they'll be right back in the mix in the metro. Yeah, people think people think sids like on his way out. Like you got to put him in the same court category as Tom Brady. Like these guys, they're built differently. They can play for however long they want to in put up great

numbers. Like he just at his 21st season of over a pointy game, which is unheard of. And I know

we all said it like that that record will never be touched. And he was on, um, he was talking

today on on Mac, I feel about the fact that he, he doesn't eat like a veg computer, right? Yeah. He, he has a pretty good diet. So he's going to get a good diet. He's win. Uh, the witness. Anyway, he's getting a move. He's going to move. Had a good voice. Hey, check out the lid on him. He said he doesn't want to let him. Hey, come on. We're put the cans on there. Well, come on. We're talking about man rockets, beauties. You're all. I'll tell my head like this. You're no more. Yeah,

our favorite moose. This is good. That's a 300 miles of voice. Yeah, he's. Uh, we actually went. It's good to hear because we did not bring it up until now. How are you feeling about the oilers and his dry side will come back? He's, I saw the report that he's ready to go. He looks great

“and, uh, skating around right now. I don't know if he'll be there game one at worst. I think”

game two and then if you win game one, why even play him game two because chances are we're playing the Kings. Uh, it sucks. It's, it's not, it's not brutal for an oiler's fan because I think we'll dust them again. It just sucks. I'm just so sick of playing the Kings five years in a row. It might be one of the, it might be one of the, one thing's Batman that could get Batman to switch this play all format as if they get the Kings oilers for year six if it does happen again. Now, obviously

the games tonight have to be played, but I think I think LA wins and I think Nashville might be at home. We might have, we might have LA again, but I feel pretty good. Um, obviously the, the

second round based on what Vegas has done since towards came around and we guys talked about that.

Oh, by the way, I, I woke up this morning and I had a text. I mean, I'm in a text with Blutman and these three guys and murals and they were just chirping off to the Knights. They were talking about the credible Knights to be fair. They're going to run this schedule when they made the

little bit of smoke and mirrors sounds like you are taking. They, they look fast all of a sudden. And I don't know what happened because they looked slow and brutal most of the year, like the whole

“year, basically. And now all of a sudden, I'm, I'm a little wary to them, second round, but I think”

them and Utah is going to be an incredible series. I think Utah is not, yeah, like that. It's going to be a very, very special playoff. I believe in Edmonton. Yeah, we'll be in the conference final again.

So then you, you're final for you, never know. By the way, can you explain to me, like, what would

be the analogy for torts in like the NFL where it's, I feel like he just jumps around. He fixes teams. No. And then he burns him out. And he's like, everyone's like, we actually hate this guy and then he's gone, but then he comes to a new team. And it's like, oh, yeah, this guy is just whipped us into shape. Now we're playing the best hockey. Is that fair? I feel like it doesn't have one. He's busy. It's finger lockin. Yeah, just finger lock. It's not. You can't finger lock with your boys.

But the thing is big cat, like every guy, like you'd think everybody hates torts off the ice, but everyone who plays for him loves him as a guy. Yeah. But he does feel like he shows up. And like he gets the most out of them. And then maybe the message gets, it's like a hardball, hardball. It's like when you're whipping the horse, right? How many adventures? It stops responding, right? And then some of these coaches, they do have short shelf lives. I mean, the guy

they had before on this kind of like that. Cassidy, every three, four years of the guy start

“tuning him out. And the thing is, though, as I think when you go in there with that few games left,”

you're just basically going in as like a raw raw, like, like, you know, just trying to keep the guys nice guy. Yeah, nice guy. So not your basic torts. And I think that from a torts perspective, he has like, he has kind of learned as he's progressed. And he knows he's on the back nine of his coaching career. So it's kind of like, like, well, I was going to say bonus. But I think we saw his post game press conference after the last game. But you're just, you're not whipping the horse's

hard sort of speak. I think for him to be in a part of that Olympic team, he was just in a assistant there. And from every, everyone I talked to, he was just like a great guy to be around coached well and just kept like the light. I don't even think the mode. Yeah, he just kind of hanging out with up guys. So I think he's taking a little bit. It seems like he's taking a little bit of that into the Vegas season. He's not coming in hot like he did with Philly or Columbus. So I don't know,

look out for them to put on a good run, because after some time, we did just car wrong guys just going not to fuck it up. So we gave Raid coolers. When you saw the Sabres billboard, we like, there's no way this is real. It's funny. I didn't didn't even cross my mind that it was real. And then Dave's tweet where he wrote is this real. I don't even think he thought it was real either. But then, but that made me be like, wow. Like, is that real, no chance. And then boom, the first response

“underneath is the guy in the park a lot. And I couldn't, it was, I think it's honestly my favorite”

moment for, personally, in Chicago. It's great, too. Because given the history of the Sabres, like you, you had 14 years in a row to be exactly right. And then you picked this year. It's all the way. We're showing up to a, like, a roulette table. And you saw Red 14 times where you're like, yeah, yeah. The craziest part was that I, a lot of people were like sweet season previews. I was like, buddy, I said that December 7th. Like, we were like, 25 games into the year.

But incredible by that. Like, I mean, like, they, that admin guy had been sitting in his

basement for 14. I don't know what Twitter wasn't even around when they last time there in the playoff. So, so they just waited and waited. And then he had tweeted out earlier, like, it's going to be a great day. I have a lot of special things in store. And I had no idea. I still retweeted, oh, oh, God, help me. And then they, they dropped the hammer of a billboard. And there's actually two billboards. I don't even, I think there's only two billboards in the city of Buffalo.

Oh, yeah. So, I might own my pool. There are 100% Whitney. The other is Whitney billboards now. Good marketing. And it's got the tricklet hat on right front and son or something. So, yeah. Why were you so why are you so convinced that they weren't going to make the playoffs? And then what did they do? I guess you could say, like, you have two sprung them on. They were horrible. They were horrible. Again, and they've been horrible every year. I'm like, all right, this team's just done like this.

And this had been said, I think you were saying like they're not done yet. They're not done yet. And I gave the 0.0040 there. And they fired the GM. Yeah. And we're like, oh, I mean, I don't know. Like, yeah, maybe. And then apparently, business told like the coach was possibly getting gas too. They had one, three games in a row to end a western cover ship. They still

fired the GM. I still, I'm, we're about to record check. Let's get deeper. I still will never understand

team. He's around once in a while. And I don't, I don't know. All he did remember he said he came in and said, you guys are all playing for your jobs next year. My take. Yeah. Like, oh, like, everyone says,

you're deals for 8 million bucks. It's also, it's their job to play. They've been playing for

their job the past 14 years. Yeah. Yeah. No, they're entire life. Like, but we're a podcasting. We're podcasting for our job right now. Yeah. Oh, God. Yeah. We are. We're going to win. It's our job to podcast. Yeah. I brought costumes today for my fight. Yeah. I brought costumes today for my fight. I just got it. But he doesn't. Yeah. He'll get there. No. I don't like podcasting for our jobs. It's our jobs. No shit. You think you're talking to her? I don't know. It's, yeah, this business

we're trying to get it. By the way, the, the sabers like, oh, I just lost my chain. Oh, I did say,

“I am very happy, though. I, the whole, the whole time I was saying that, I was like, I think I”

let off that rant with the poor people of Buffalo don't deserve this. Like, I love that city. Yeah. We've done checklists cups there and they've come out to me year after year. What do we have to do? I say, uh, move. You leave the city. I don't know. I have, there's no answer. So I'm happy for them. Like, I love the fact that this has actually gone down and that they're, they're, they're a legit contender. I think this year. All right. So yeah, because I agree. Like,

that's a, that's a, that's a long streak. The city of Buffalo. They love the only of two teams. They love their sports. Like, the whole Jack Ikel thing probably was such a bummer when you, you thought that was going to be the guy and then he gets. And then he wins a cop. Yeah. Like I sucked. All right. So let's do, let's do your Stanley Cup picks. Who's in the final? And who do you got? I'm going to put a future on whoever can convince me the most. Well, let's go left

to right. So we'll start with biz, uh, shockingly, uh, like, so now my playoff predictions for the, like,

the first round series may contradict who I have going to the finals. What? Okay. Just, let's

look, uh, let's go on cast the worst job for podcast for my job. Wait, so you're going to eliminate your pick in the first round. Smart. I, I, I really honestly get it. I get where he's coming from.

“That's what I'm going to go. I get it. Oh, if you can't do that, you can't do it. It makes no sense,”

but I get what he says. But I was sick of the same thing. You can't do that. You can't be like, I got the stars over the wild, but I got the wild wind in the cup. Yeah. Nobody can. He can't. This is a job. The Leafs are going to be relegated from the NHL. That's a big of a mush. I am. I can do it over the fuck I want. Okay. All right. Go ahead. I, I actually have the Pittsburgh penguins meeting the Colorado avalanche in the Stanley. Oh, but the flyers winning the first round.

No, that makes no sense. Because you're going to pick Pittsburgh in the first round. You just,

kind of like, inception to all of us, and then didn't even do the inception. All right. Good lot though. I'm going to go Buffalo and Dallas. Okay. Okay. I'm going Tampa Bay versus Edmonton. But now give us the non Edmonton pick Montreal Beaton. No, no, it would be, it would be Tampa Bay versus Colorado. Which would be a repeat of a final few years back that went to six and Yans picked Dallas Buffalo, which I know you guys are aware that that was the infamous Brett

Hall for the preschool. So the city of Buffalo would love love a chance at redemption against the Dallas stars. That would be unfair to be a threat. A lot of history between those cities. Yeah, you guys rooting for Edmonton. Yeah. I got to say Edmonton feels like it's Edmonton's year. It's such a piece of the trend. Edmonton? Yeah. He said that with the bills through the. No, I got, I got to make a bet. I don't know who I'm going to put a future on. I get, like,

like, oh, I got it. I'm looking right now. You guys tell me what the best, like, number is. I do need a team. Edmonton, Montreal. Okay. That would be. That would be. Cups get me coming back to count. Yeah. I would be awesome. Yeah. I would say, though, if it can't, I need this. If I, if all you think, uh, if I could hand pick a team, though, I would be so happy for Connor McDavid, the finally host to stay on the couple. I know,

you know, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, no, he'll not be able to win the big one, but he is a machine with you down this year with you would you rather him win on or not win one. No, we would be. I don't want him to win. No, I really want him to win. No, you don't want with you. No, you don't. Okay. Seven. I was going to be there with you. That's true. Yeah, betting on them hoping that you won money, but if they lost, it was a win-win, like,

shut the fuck up. Everyone knows, all your listeners know what you guys are doing.

“I don't think we'll ever do that a little while. I don't think that's what we're being. No.”

You guys can't stand McDavid because you're miserable, but you're on teams. Your whole, your lives stink. You guys got nothing going for yourselves. You try to bring me down. Bad cop. Bad cop. It's a great strategy. I mean, what kind of loser would we be if we

tell me this. You got it with? Yeah. I got it, but that's exactly what you're going to do. No, what he did that member with. Hey, what? He did that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. One of the things that is fuck poor Hank is the work with you. Correct. Oh, yeah, poor Hank. All right. Give me, all right. So I'm looking at the odds right now. Abolish is three to one. That's brutal, bad. Brutal bad. Hercans are like five to one, lightning are five to one. I'm not doing any three of those. No, no, no, no, no.

You got to find a good one. Here's the 12 to one. Yeah, I'm giving you, I'm giving you everything in the middle. We got the stars at 10 to one. Senators 13 to one. Oilers 13 to one. Sabers 14 to one. Wild 18 to one. I take Dallas is the best 10 to one. 10 to one. 10 to one. It's probably what the star is the right now is AJ. Play the wild. No, but I know, but we'll that they have the hardest division to come out of, right? Because now they're stuck in the central. And then Heskin and hasn't played. They say

he will be ready for game one. And then Rupé Hans, who's their number one center. So they're dealing with injuries again. And so, and they have probably the hardest first round matchup of anyone's full. So the next two. Edmonton. Edmonton's 13 to one. It's pretty good back. Boys, I'll tell you like, if they, if they go to the cup final again this year, like, you guys will have to just say,

okay, with this team is incredible. I know I'm saying just go to the cup final, but of all the years

of the past two, including, you know, in this one, there's so much worse than they were the last two years. So if somehow it happens again, I just don't see him losing because there's no panthers to

“dumb me him down. So 13 to one is a good bet. Yeah, I like the Dallas one, but yeah, I think there's”

a little bit on all those ones in the 13, 14 to one, like Buffalo at 14 to one, sprinkle a little bit. He doesn't sprinkle. He puts 15 grand on it. It's pretty cool. It's a little grateful. Great. All right, Edmonton 13 to one. Yeah, do it. All right, great. You told me to do it. So now you can't get down me. I just did it. I literally just did it. Who has the worst odds? Uh, the docks. Boston. Oh, docks. Yeah. Docks, flyers, kings, bro. Yeah. The thing about the docks are a

little weak up the middle, and they got Leo Carlson, who's their first science center, who's young and inexperienced, but they got good gold tending, and they have a really good, I like their back end, and they're really got to build for playoff. They got a good back end, and they're coached by Q, but, um, yeah, you guys picked everyone now. Yeah, what's what's Vegas? Vegas is wide open you know, I think this is the most wide open year we've seen in a nine to one for the golden

nights right now. Mm. Murls thinks they're fraud. So no, no, no, no, no, no, no, he's back on. Yeah,

“remember this morning said they're looking credible. He's back on. He's back on. He's back on.”

Work towards, which is, which is mind around. Yeah. All right, but it's a wide open year. It's going to be a great playoff. It's going to be way better than that other stupid sport you guys cover. The thing about the thing about hockey, though, is just like the, like it's, it's turned into like the NBA, but in a positive way, with like the crazy like trades that have happened, like the coaching changes that have happened, like, like my star is getting trades. Yeah,

it's in a positive way. So they're essentially the headline hogs with all the rumors going on off the ice. So what, what a perfect year if you're a, a kind of like a a cusp hockey fan. But if you like sports, you got to jump on hockey playoff. I mean, there's nothing better than this. There's nothing. There's really, especially, especially with how good Olympics was. I know watching hockey after the Olympics was a little tough, just because of, you know, the play kind of dipped a little bit,

but it's going to ramp up for a playoff and it's going to be an incredible couple of months.

Yeah. All right. I got one last question. Thank you boys for doing this. By the way, I, we, we were actually joking. Yesterday, we were talking about like future guests in the playoffs, coming up. We're like the best part about this time of years. We just get to just go like any mini-mini mode down the line and have all three of you on like every other week. So thank you for that. It's a bit rough. Come on. Yeah. No, it's the best because like, you're well,

booking guests is not the easiest sometimes. And it's like, oh, yeah, we can just have the boys on. So this will not be the last we talked to you guys. Robac question, RHO, back.com, promo code take, 20% off your first purchase, QSips, Polos, hoodies, jogger, shorts, rowback.com, promo code take, wit on the skill of 1 to 10, how happy are you that LEO completed ice con without you? So now

you can be like, I'm a mush. I never have to go again. It's, it's, it's one of the best feelings

of all time. That every year I love LEO, I love ice con, the ice people. It's an incredible event.

“But you can't. But I got my kid. It was witty. I think it was witty con. Yeah, it was witty con.”

And then, but it's at a time of the year where we're kind of ramping up and it's just, you know, it's nice so maybe I could play golf. And now it's like, I'm done. I'm done forever. So yeah,

So if he was forced to go to a few more, it would turn into like, custody battle con. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. All the time. Yeah. You see my fucking, you do it now. Did you see my skin every other weekend? I heard you were there for two minutes. And there's three goals. Nine minutes two goals. Pretty good fucking stat like. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, that would put you on pace for times. What is that? Yeah. So that would put you up a 12 goals. There we go.

Well, the 12 to 14. Yeah. That's my job. I'm done. I'm podcasting for my job. Do you think, uh, I got a request. You think that Dave would be open if if the family

“feud does like a few different bar stool versions if the Chicklet's crew could win. I think you're”

talking about the dozen. No, he's not my family. You don't know. I'm saying you just business into the dozen, which is having like, wait, who's going on family? Dave got offered to do family few. No, that's like my biggest dream. I'm so mad. He was, he was going to be me, Dave, mincey Rico and Jerry. I can't do it. Once he's getting to do it. Hold on. I can't do the date. So I told Dave, we just need to have, we got to do like the Acco do qualifiers of just the

mutants. I think he's got only bring mutants. He can't bring regular people, right? No, because then they won't invite anyone else from bars. It would be fun for like checklists to maybe go against the bar stool mutants where it would be us three R.A. And then I guess you see the rules are good. I mean, we get thrown in the next. Whatever the fifth guy would be, but I know R.A. would, would smoke any of this. He goes, you guys are kind of bar stool mutants. Yeah. But yeah,

no, I want it to be like Dave, think about like Dave Rico, Jay, White Sox, Dave, Plutman. I want to get Plutman in there. No, he's got to be on there. No, no, no. I want to just stay there and post

“in it after he's on there. You have to stay, sir. Look at you. You have to stay. We could do”

a full month. I just want to just bar stool personalities. I want to see Steve Harvey just meet

Frank the tank for the first time. For me, just like try to figure him out. Yeah. I'm using

team as to get Steve Harvey Keith. Yeah. I'll do anything Steve Harvey does. I love that. Absolutely. Absolutely. Wow. That's big. When you get to bring a daughter on a date. All right. Who do you play? I don't know. It's a celebrity. So it's probably another show. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. So we got to figure out who's going to be on. I know I'm so busy. I can't mate. It's my daughter's birthday. And I fucking, I was like when he said the date, I was like, God damn it. This has been my dream.

Yeah. Talking about forever. So I guess we'll get minty minty keeps failing upwards, what a life. He's such a piece of shit. Oh, dickhead. Did you see the most recent thing? No. I'd said that he can go to the last two days of the spring break house in Vegas because I was like, you know, you know, it's full blown on a label. Oh, my, hold on. Whitney, just listen to me though. I agree. Someone actually said what do you say? As long as it's not my house. Yeah.

He, so someone actually, like, replied and they're like big cat is weak on crime. And I laughed pretty hard at that. But no, I was like, he's going to go because the spring break house gets a little, they like last year after a couple of weeks, they like kind of got all nice and nicey and it wasn't as fun. Like, we'll throw in minty at the very end. I told him it's you can't do poker. That's the

only rule. First thing this fucking guy does, he goes, big cats that I can't do poker. He never said

I can't go to fish. So he's just like, I'm going to fish. And he's like, oh, wow. So I'm not, I'm not going to send him anymore. It's great. Can't tell that trip. He tried to spend all of his clothes buying new clothes on Amazon. He's trying to expense it. Well, that he didn't have any under

“word for Vegas. He tried to buy Feebot 15 socks for two day trip. He's like, yeah, what does he have three feet?”

Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very, very special guest. It is baseball,

phenom, New York, Matt Francisco Lendor. He's here with Neutrophil who is a wonderful sponsor of ours as well. We'll get to that later, but Francisco, thank you for being here in studio. I'm, are you ready to get your mind blown? I'm going to, I'm going to blow your mind right off the floor and start you ready started like that. This is a crazy day that you're here because you're here. You have the Cubs weekend series at Rigley Friday, Saturday, Sunday. We're going to run this Friday.

So people are listening this tomorrow as we take this on Thursday. Do you know that when you take the fields for the mats on Friday at Rigley, you officially have played more games for the mats than the

Indian slash guardians? Is that not nuts? That is nuts. I always like, I couldn't believe it because

“it feels like it's only been a couple of years, but then I looked it up and I was like, holy shit,”

it's the exact 77 games played for both teams right now in the regular season. That's, that's, that's a cool stuff. Yeah, I was, I didn't even have it in my mind. Yeah. Thanks for bringing that. Do you feel like you are like, like comfortable in, you know, you're in New Yorker and you're a met and like you've embraced all that? I love New York. I love New York. New York, New York Association is great as well. And now that you mentioned

half, I've told a couple of people already like, this is my sixth season. It's like now. It's crazy. Yeah. It's crazy to think that I'm in my sixth year in New York. And I love, I love the vibes that we have. I love the city of New York. It's, it's on match. Yeah. New York is on match. Your stats are actually remarkably similar, too.

“It's the first, yeah, the first 777 and the second almost identical. You've been like really”

consistent over your career. Was there, was there a change like when you got to New York? Was there anything that you had to start doing differently? Well, when I got there, the league was a little different than it is today. You know, we have the DH now and, and before it was pictures and like, it was a little different, the way they pitched, but my game, I take out of the pride of my game and you're trying to be as consistent as possible. You're trying

to be the same person than in the out no matter what. And I have to look at the stats if you guys haven't pulled it up, but we'd like to see it. But it makes me happy that it's similar. Yeah. It's a 3500 hits in Cleveland and 3,425 hits in New York. We got 508 runs in Cleveland. 540 hits in New York. I'm sorry, I'm looking at play to parents. Oh, my, my, my, my, my, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got some more. Yeah, eight hundred ninety six in Cleveland, uh, seven eighty two in New York.

Now that you would set all-time records, it would beat Pete Rose's records if, uh, those are my stats. Yeah, well, correct. I would, I would guess that like your consistency is something you got to be very proud of because it does like even in years where maybe you have slumps or whatever, it's like the end numbers look very similar and it's just a really, really good all-star MVP votes six times like that type of player. Yeah, and it's so tough to

guess to have a good start. Yeah, every year I'm like, I'm gonna have a crazy start this year. And then I start someone in the middle and then I finish where I'm going to. Yeah, every time I just got to find a way of like, you know, going and then get going and get going and keeping that pace the whole year. Yeah. But it's, it's, it's baseball. It's such a long year. Yes. There's so many ups and downs and the downs, they feel even worse when the numbers

are a bunch of zeros. Yeah. In the scoreboard, it's, it's, it's something that you look up or you like, damn, that doesn't look good. Yeah. But then when you struggle in July of September,

of like New York where you guys have a little bit of a slow start? You got some crazy,

“rabid fans, Frank the tank, our co-worker. I don't know if you're familiar with any of his work.”

Yeah, I see them. Yeah. But they, you know, the sky is always falling for Frank the tank. Do you

have a message for Frank? Think, be like, hey, man, it's a long season. We're gonna, it's going to work out like a lot of things. I don't think I'm on his good side right now. Oh, no. - I don't think anybody is. - Yeah. - Don't feel like you're alone on that.

- Hey, he looks good, losing weight. - Yes, yes. - He looks good, so Frank, keep going. - Yeah, like it, kill him with kindness. - Yes.

- That's good. Do you like the nickname Mr. Smile? - Yeah, yeah. - I like it. - It's a good nickname.

I saw Mr. Lover, I'm not a fighter. - Mr. Smile came out a little bit the other night and your played appearance against Showhail Tani. - Yeah. - When he got, you knew that he got you as you were swinging.

And when he's locked in, it feels like there's nothing that you can do. - Yeah, he changed the rhythm the last pitch. It went into a little battle. And I felt it whole entire time.

Like I was winning the abat and then he changed the rhythm the last pitch. And threw me off. And that's why I swore. This is like that.

He got me. He pitched, growl, he pitched, really good.

It's the first time I faced him.

I have years in the big league. He's got years in the big league. I've never faced him. - That is kind of crazy. - And first time I faced him.

- And if he's doing stuff like changing up his mode, like you have no throw in 100. He was throwing in the heart. - He got mad. - He's throwing.

- The first pitch of the game I go, I look up, I'm like, okay, all right, game one. - Yeah, he got mad last night. He said he can't dial it back a hundred percent all the time, but last night he was like, okay, yeah,

it's time for me to just let it rip. - Yeah, he was.

“- Through like, I think five pitches over a hundred miles an hour.”

- Yeah, I think three of them were four of them went to me. - Yeah. - What's your favorite city to play in? - Besides New York and Cleveland?

- Yeah. - 'Cause I'm biased with those two. - Mm-hmm. - I like Toronto. - Toronto is a great city.

- Yeah, yeah. - In this bus, we say when they open the roof, it's a beautiful field. - Yeah, yeah. - With New York, so we used to live in New York for about seven years.

We went to a few Met Scames. Do you have a way to get out to Met Scames? It's way easier than the rest of us. Because that was the one reason why I didn't like going, it took me forever to get to again.

- Yeah, show up at one PM and it'll be easier. - Yeah. - Just leave early. - It's so traffic. So that's literally the time we get to the field,

one PM for seven o'clock game. We don't hit traffic. Now my wife in the other hand, she hit traffic. You know, it's like that traffic that rush hour. That's the one that gets a little tricky.

- Yeah. - So, respect to all the fans that show up and make it on time. - Yeah. - 'Cause it's hard to do that.

- It does feel like a special place to play, when things are going well. - It's amazing. They're way city field guests together

when things are going well, it's incredible.

And it's, that's why I love it because it's a city that you gotta bring it every single day, you know, you suck, yes, say it, but today you gotta bring it. Or you play well, yes, say it,

but today you gotta bring it, you know, and say they'll let you know. And I love that, I love that. Because you gotta bring you a game every single day. - Yeah, yeah, you can't.

Grimm is going in the crowd. That whole thing was special. - Yeah, I was in Grimm is in a while. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Say a fair weather fan.

I feel like Grimm is just to come back. - Yeah, he stayed in 24. - Do you, do you hate the Yankees? Was it instant? - No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

- There's not gonna be-- - Like I said, I'm a lover. - Okay, put 'em in. It is kind of, there is, you know, there's a divide, like PFT said,

we lived in New York for like there is a very distinct divide in terms of the fans in the city. - There is, but they're in the American League, win the national league, like we don't really,

“in our clubhouse, we don't really see it like that, you know?”

It gets, when it comes to so-vacers, those are fun, because there's a lot of buzz in the city, and it's good for like barbershop talks, and like, wherever you walk around the city and you go to like, the bodega's, you know,

like people are talking a lot of it, like the trash guy talking to you yelling to you yelling at you, that's a good time. - Yeah, do you hate the braves? - Do I hate, no, I don't hate the braves.

- You gotta hate something, really? - No. - No, you don't hate the nuts. - No, hate. (laughs)

- The marlins, oh yeah, that would be funny if you're just like, I hate the marlins. - Actually, aren't the nuts, the most recent team in our division, they won't, no, the braves. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the right.

- 2019, the nuts got it. - Yeah, PFT Astros, that was pretty cool, but yeah, so you don't hate anybody? - Not, not really. - Where about when you were losing?

- When you were in Cleveland, did you hate anybody? - Nah, nah, I'm not a hated. - Can I ask a question about, that's not with me. - Yeah, can I ask a question about the world series

so that was incredible.

- Yeah, yeah, not, well, do you think they should

have delayed the game? - Delayed the game. - Yeah, the rangelai. - I mean, it was porn, wasn't it? - Yeah, I mean, I felt like it helped the cubs a lot

in that moment. - But my real point is this sucks, it's this sucks. - I'm not gonna talk, I hate that a lot. - I hate that a lot, I hate that a lot. - Yeah, we should have won it, and I feel terrible

for people in Cleveland and to all the cubs fans, you're welcome. - Okay, so my only question about it is, when you were told that Trevor Bauer heard his finger with a drone, we like that campy reel.

- No, because he loved the drones.

“- Yeah, it was, I mean, it was like, what is this crazy?”

But he still went out there. - Yeah. - Yeah, Trevor Bauer was a crazy competitor. - Yeah. - And yeah, he went out there.

We had probably three pictures that were down, that weren't pitching, you know, the pleurer pitched three games in the worst series. - Yeah. - That's insanity, you know, and he, he's one of the best pictures probably ever, he pitched three times

tumbling, Carrasco wasn't there. He got hurt that year, Bauer had a bad finger. Yeah, that team, it was a good team. - Yeah, I enjoyed being around that team. - We have a lot of Cleveland people in this office.

That was actually when you walked in, you had a bunch of pictures. - Yeah. - Those were all Cleveland fans. And I told, I dropped the stat on almost like,

did you know that tomorrow he's actually gonna play more games for the match, which, again, that's still kind of blows my mind, because I don't know, like, it just time, time's moving too fast. - Yeah.

“- Who's the toughest, the toughest picture you faced?”

- Toughest picture. David Price, I faced David Price in Toronto after you got traded two to Toronto, and they were playing, they were making a play off push. And they crowd got behind him and he was just nasty.

Chris Sale, every time I came to Chicago the face, the white sauce, he was there, it was just like, "I hope for it to get one." C-C, C-C, this is how I'd be nasty. And then there's a guy that Garrett Richards,

he played for a couple of years, but he was one of those pictures that was like, effectively wild, it was just, this guy didn't pour out, he's not gonna throw strikes, he'll be fine, strike one, strike two, strike three, damn.

I look back like, hold up now. - Yeah. - Next up, I'm like, "All right, let me swing, ball, I swing, ball, I swing, "All right, yeah." So he was really good.

- Yeah, how's it been going with the ABS, with the challenge? - I love it. - Do you have rules like, if you use a challenge, you better get it right?

- I mean, everybody thinks they're gonna get it right. - Yeah.

- But the reality is, on par as I write more times than not.

But I love it because guy stopped complaining. There's no arguing, he messed me up, it's just topped up that, you know, I loved that. Just topped up, if you really are complaining about it, topped up, yeah.

And then just, that's it, and then the argument. - Yeah, it's speeding the game, I like it too.

“I think it's a good rule, we're gonna look back in 10 years”

and think it was crazy that we ever had human beings that had to call balls and strike. - It's kind of fun seeing the ball coming. - Yeah. - In the big screen, you see the ball coming, you're like,

"Oh, yeah, oh, you got it right." - It's crazy how I've said it multiple times in this show, like, it makes sense because you guys are professional athletes in professional baseball players.

But when you guys will get it right as a ball, like a centimeter off, it's like, how the hell did you do that? - How the hell did you feel that? - I asked the same thing. - Really?

- I haven't challenged anything, I don't think I will. I don't know the strikes on that well. There's guys that. - That's a crazy thing for you to say

'cause you're an incredible hitter.

- Yeah, but just to be a hitter, you've got to be able to get the barrel to the ball, okay? - Yeah, the guys are like, "Oh, that ball is like half an inch of the plate." I'm like, "What?"

- Yeah, like, "How do you know this?" - So you don't, you'll ever challenge one. - I don't want to say I don't, every going to challenge, but I don't think I will. - Yeah, that's not your game.

- It's just, I'm, I move with the pitch, that's the ball's coming. There's times I go back to the plate to the dugout, I'm like, that ball is right down the middle. And there's three inches of the plate.

- Wow. - There's other times I'm like,

And I go back and it's like,

two balls in the strike zone.

“- So it's not a, you've got to challenge one now,”

just to be so wrong, that would actually be really funny. If you challenge a strike, and it's just center, like, right down the middle. - And that was just like, "What the hell?" That would go fine.

- And then they'll say, "Lendor was right." - It would be, yeah, either the, the best or the worst challenge of the year. - Yeah, that would be funny. Like, you guys got to put that together at the end of the year.

- What are the worst challenges? - Yeah. - Yeah, I just want to see you challenge one and be like, that was way outside of your boom center. - Sometimes, in football, the coaches throw the red challenge

flag just when they're mad that something happened. Like, it doesn't matter if they were, if the referee was right about it, they just wish that it didn't happen. So the throw a flag, then the referee will go review

and be like, "Oh yeah, we made the right call.

You're just frustrated." But maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds like, you're saying like, "When you're up to bat, do you look at every pitch in terms of like, "Can I hit this pitch?"

- Yeah. - Not necessarily like, is this pitch a strike? - Is the pitch in the area that I'm going to hit? And if it's not, then I take, and if it is, then I swing.

“And more times than not, I think it's in the area”

that I get hit, you know? And when the ball, the ball's going so fast that when the catchers catch the ball, they're taught to frame him, bringing back to the plate. So I look back and hit the ball.

Sometimes, catchers make it too obvious where it's just like, they're bringing the ball from way out of sight into the plate and you see them like sticking in, you like, yeah, that's a ball. But with this ABS stuff,

catchers are trying probably trying to trick bothers, too. - Yeah. - You know, catch the ball the wrong way, even though it's a strike. So when the hit, it looks back, back,

they go all out of the ball. They challenge, and it was right on the middle. - I didn't thought about that, that's a really good point. - Yeah. - We were talking before you,

before we started taping about some of the different places you travel on the road, we talked about Milwaukee for a second and the Fistur Hotel. And it's got a reputation as being haunted. We've stayed there before.

We went ghost hunting in the Fistur Hotel. I think we found evidence you found. We found evidence of ghosts there.

“But you've actually encountered a ghost there?”

- I have not, but I've always said that

if there is a ghost, he can't touch me. - Okay. - Ghost can't touch you. - Why? - Yeah, they can, how? - Wait me?

- When you see movies, you can put you hand through that. - When you're something, they can't touch you. - What if the ghost is laying on top of you when you're sleeping? - Then I'm a sleep.

- I don't know. - I'm a sleep. - They're taking like knock stuff over. - I feel like you're attempting to-- - That's a little different, you know.

When you see something moving, that's a little different. Like in San Francisco, we had a nice break. And it was pitch black in my room. And I felt the door going, boom, boom, boom, boom. I'd get my flashlight immediately to like,

see what's happening. And then I felt the door there, the bed. - Yeah. - You know, so if something like that happens in Milwaukee where I know there's not that many earthquakes,

maybe it's a conversation the next day in the clubhouse. - Are you afraid of getting inhabited by a ghost? Like the ghost could take over you? - I don't think it's gonna take over. - I just don't believe that.

- But if you're in a slump, you just say that. You're like, I stayed at the Fist Road, so it was not my fault. - It's a ghost fault. - Yeah, the ghost is having a bad idea.

- The stocks of the hotel go down. - Yeah, all right, all right. You actually said something to me when we were walking in, I said, you know, you gotta go try some ice cream and that Cal Rally hit six home runs

after he had the ice cream on a weekend last year. And you said you're not superstitious at all. - I'm not. - Cal has six home runs because of the ice cream. - Yeah.

- At the UBI ice cream every single day in his mind. - Well, he might be. - But I don't believe it. I don't believe it's superstitions 'cause to me, we all work way too hard

to give the credit to the batting loves, to give the credit to the bat, to give the credit to the pleats, to give the credit to the ice cream. - Yeah.

- Like it's, you know, like, yeah, we used those tools help us, but if we prepare. - Yeah, no, listen, what you just said is the completely reasonable, like, well-adjusted, normal thing to say,

but you're so wrong, like, everything you just said is wrong. - I started. - Yes, you are talented, you worked your ass off you. All the credit should be to you and your hard work, but let's be honest, if you ate the ice cream,

you'd probably have a lot of home runs. (laughing) - I started in 2019, I got here, I told him my calf muscle. And I had to do so many things to get ready

that I can't be superstitious. - Right, I can't do the same thing every single day, just because, yes, I play well. Like, it's just now, and I stopped. And it's so, you feel so free.

- Like, it's like, okay, I'm out of prison.

Yeah, I'm not a prison on my own brain.

“- Who's the most superstitious on your team right now?”

Coses are usually very superstitious. - Yeah, yeah, very superstitious, because they can't play for us. - Right, you know, that's true, the fans perspective, we're superstitious 'cause we don't have any control.

- Yeah, and it's crazy to me. When my family member comes up to me and's like, hey, we watch the game yesterday and I sat here, I need to sit here, I'm like, yeah, I like that. That is not going to help that basketball player make that shot.

- No, I didn't know. - You're wrong, you're wrong about that. - It's definitely just, it's very real. Did you get nervous watching the World Baseball Classic? - Very, very.

- Did you have like two positions for me? - I hate it, man. I'm more nervous watching the games that's a fan that I am a supplier. - Yeah. - It's sucked.

- Yeah.

- It's not a good feeling.

- How, yeah, I mean, I yelled, I cried, I was nervous, I'm like, what is this? I can't do this. - How fun is it because obviously this year, you didn't play any, but how fun is it playing

with those guys that like, you know, for country pride and everything? Is it, does it feel different than playing in a regular season Major League Baseball game? - It does, it does.

And I tell you why, it's because growing up, you do the same thing as everybody else. It's like, we all go to the same schools or we listen to the same music. And we all have the same backgrounds.

Then we get bigger. We make it so big leagues. And then now we have so many different cultures, you know, and all you show up to the clubhouse that's country music.

And then 20 minutes later, it's rap. And then there's hip-hop, you know, it's different types of stuff, different type of food. But then when you play in this tournament, it's like, I'm assuming the Americans are listening

to hip-hop and country music. For a weekend, it's a regular time all day. But as well, with Salsa and Dominicans, we're by Chata, you know, and you eat the same thing. So he takes you back to where you were a little kid.

- Yeah, your kids together, yeah. - Correct. And then after that, every game, it's eliminating like elimination game. So it's game seven every single day.

- Yeah. - And on top of that, you in spring training mode. - Yeah.

“- And now you have to turn on that switch.”

- Yeah. - And it's game on, and the fans, and it's just like, there's so much between, like, a little nostalgia with like, used the energy, it's like, wow,

I feel like I'm a kid again, you know, and it's just like everything matters. - Yeah. - It's really cool. - Yeah, what did you think about,

about Italy having mostly players from America, that like, their grandparents were Italian? - You see, that's wrong. It's me, that's wrong, because when Italy didn't play well, people weren't claiming them.

And now that they play well, people aren't claiming them. - Yeah, that's wrong. - They, they, they embrace the Italian culture. And yeah, the USA has the most players.

- Yeah. - So if you can't make that team, you gotta go somewhere else. - Yeah. - And they play well.

I love their celebration. Their celebration was great. - Yeah, I mean, we probably shouldn't. - And we lost to them. - So that's, that's, that's.

- We probably should have had Pasquatino on the American team. He's a good player. - You think he was gonna play over Harper? - I don't know, he's, he's awesome.

I love he's a great guy. - Yes, a lot of guys just from for the American team. - Yeah, I mean, Carl Riley was playing, play out of seven games. I think he played two or three.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- And he just finished the second MVP in his 60.

- Yeah. - You know, like it's, gonna hand this on a great show, stop playing third base. Breckman, you know, was in the bench and played there. A little bit because Bobby Wiss playing short.

- Yeah. - You know, like it, they had a really good team. - Yeah. - Yeah, we saw our guy memes is in the booth. He's a massive, Matt's fan.

Huge Matt's fan. - Much love. - memes, you got any questions? I know you do. - Okay, were you throwing a ball when,

“were I have season tickets right behind the visitors dug out?”

- Okay. - We throw them a ball when you see us on the street. - Oh, that's Sunday. - Are they going to be okay, you know? I mean, he's like, he's sturdy, but.

(laughing) - He's going to hand down on the ground. - Oh yeah, so you can grab those headphones, so you can hear memes. Awesome.

Which actually, wait before memes goes, I'll say this, your hair looks great. We're here with new cheerful, long season. It's awesome that you, 'cause we're, new cheerful sponsor of ours,

you just do stuff with them. - Yeah. - They're great people. - Yeah, new joyful is fantastic, you know? It's all, it's very relatable to baseball.

- You got this, you got this, you got this. - You got this, you got this, you got this. - You got this, you got this, you got this. - Yeah, yeah. - I have one quick one, how sick was that feeling,

after in that grand slam against the fillings? - It was a fantastic feeling, feeling, but,

“I was so in the moment that that's what made it even cooler.”

Like I remember hitting the ball, and I said hit the ball, I said double. Then the next step was like, I got 'em. And then the next step was like, breathe. And the next one was breathe.

And then it was like, okay, give a hand shake

to the first base coast. Like I was so in the moment that that's what made it, even cooler for me, 'cause I've hit on brands, I am raising Cleveland. And I've blacked out, yeah, I ran around like a little care,

just yelling and celebrating. And then you don't remember so much, but I remember every step I took, what I was thinking. - That's, yeah, good question. Got to feel like you're floating.

- Do you remember seeing the apple come up in center field? - I was looking at the boop and people. I did not look at the apple, it's not my head on the ground. Just make sure I just look at the apple. - Just salute the apple.

- What about off that?

“What about Peter Lanzo's home running against the burrs?”

- That was, what was the dugout like after that? - That was, I was on base. - Yeah, but like when you guys all get back, you like holy shit that, 'cause that was a true playoff moment. - That was, it was one of those moments

that, you know, Pete's gonna do it. But you hope he does it, you know what I'm saying? If I know he's going to do it, I hope he does it. - Right, you know, and some boop hits the ball and it's like holy shit, he did this, this is crazy.

And we were all sick and hugging each other and yelling and I remember like trying to tell the guys like, get back in it, get back in it, get back in it, get back in it 'cause we still have to go out there, you know, for one more inning.

- Right. - And everybody kept on saying that, like he wasn't just me saying, "Get back in it, it was just everybody was just like, "Hey, it doesn't trick, it doesn't trick, you know?"

- Yeah, we got to finish the job. - Yeah, 'cause you so hyped up, yeah, go ahead, memes. - Just follow a question, has anybody mentioned at the Devin Williams in the locker room? - No, no.

(laughing) - No, and I don't think I have, I've got to hit up Bevin' so I just, I can't really talk to him about that home run 'cause he was gonna say, "I strike y'all like three times already." - Yeah, yeah, go ahead, memes, you got more?

- It was, it's favorite, memes, you have, you have lots more. Come on, memes, I do. - Who's the best pitcher you play with? And I guess it's follow up, if no McLean might be the best one. - Best pitcher I play with, well, the grom, nasty, and clover,

nasty as well. They both have two say y'all and Macsures are a very Londoner. This is crazy, I just thought of how this is, I play with some legit pitchers.

“- Yeah, you know, I think they all might be Hall of Famers.”

- Yeah, I should start collecting jerseys when them. - Yeah, baseball Hall fame's so hard to get in. - Yeah, it's so hard. - Yeah. - Would you go in as a Indian or as a mat?

- Me? - Yeah, that's got a long way to go. - Okay, I got a very diplomatic answer. - I have a long way to go, I'm, I'm trying to hit 200 this year. - Six thousand hits, I don't know if you remember what I said earlier.

- Yeah, I started making the play. Zach, I know you got some questions too. - I've got a quick one now, I was just curious with like, 81 games on the road in a season. Is there any cities you kind of gear up and get excited

to travel to and on the inverse of that or than anywhere like, oh man, I'm not really looking forward to heading here.

'cause we get into the routine that's going to the field

“is more to travel like the long flights.”

That's just like, you get tired of 'em. I do like coffins with good cities. I mean, cities with good coffins. - Okay, I like that. - Yeah, cities that have good coffee.

It's, that makes it easier. - It makes it easier. - So much easier and like you get to like walk and you sit down, you find like this smaller places like that has like really good coffee, you sit down,

you open your computer and you just hang out for a little bit and then you go to the field. It makes it so much better. And I used to, I love clothes and I used to get super excited to like come to Chicago to Toronto, New York, LA,

but not live in New York. Now it's just like, I don't go shopping all the things here. I don't go shopping anymore in cities. Like, I do walk around just to Si Si, but like, I'll be walking around here in Chicago.

But everything they have here to have in New York.

- Yeah, oh, I got a question about the superstition thing.

Back to it. I know that it's probably weird. - You just gotta get me the business. - No, but you sit 2019 and you're stopped, right? - Yeah, yeah.

- Does that mean before you were? - I guess, yes. - So were you superstitious when you guys, what was your win streak 22 games in 2017? That was crazy.

“- And I think any time a baseball team gets passed”

like, you know, whatever, call it 12-15 and you've won four or five series in a row, it's like, holy shit, how are they doing this? 'Cause it's so hard to win gaming in game out. - Yeah.

Were you superstitious during that? Were you guys doing the club? - I don't remember what I was doing, but I do remember walking or driving to the field and asking, "Oh, who's pitching today?"

And from our team and be like a clover. "Oh, good luck." - Yeah. - Who's pitching today? Oh, buy it, well, good luck.

Oh, who's pitching today? Carrasco, well, good luck. You know, it's just like, every day it was like, we have such a good pitching staff that winning was the only option.

- Yeah. - You know, people were talking like, how are you guys doing this and like, look at our pictures? - We don't, yeah, I want to expect the 18th house.

- Yeah. - Our pictures are gonna go seven

“and then here comes Miller, here comes Cody Allen”

and Shaw, you know, Frank O'Neill. And he's guys and they were gonna pitch every single day. - Yeah. - And I was just like, just the will was going.

- Yeah, I was just, it felt, it kind of felt very smooth. Like there was no like, how is shit today? - Yeah, like hopefully we keep going, the 22's nuts, because the best team in Major League baseball

every single year is gonna lose a third of their games.

- Yeah. - And so 22 in a row is insane to look back at. - It was almost a full month. - Yeah, that's crazy. - Yeah, that's crazy, that's a good month.

- That's a good month of work. - Yeah. - What's, do you after a game ever checked Twitter to see what Steven Cohen says about the team? - No, I tried to stay away from it.

- It's probably smart. - I tried to stay away from Twitter. - That's very smart. Twitter could be nasty, and I'm the type of person that reads 20 good comments and read that one.

It's like, oh, you know, it makes you feel some type of way, so I try to stay away from it. - That's very normal, like that's all of us. - Yeah, we all go through that where it's like, you could read 75 things that are all really nice to them.

One guy's an asshole and you're like, "Well, that room, my dad." - Well, I love that room, my dad. - For me, it does, yeah. But I do feel some type of way for sure.

- Yeah. - So I try to stay away from it. - Yeah. - And I just stay in, like the, when people post stuff rather than like, what they sell all of me.

- Yeah. - Yeah. - I'll only watch videos of myself. I don't watch what people say. - What kind of, like, what videos?

- Me and the homeless. - I like making plays. - Yeah, that's gone. - Just to get yourself lost. - I told you.

- Yeah. - You ever go on YouTube and just type in like, Francis Cohen, go or home run? - Of course. - That's awesome, of course. - Of course.

- It's just going to Know Highlights, 2019. - Yeah. - It's going to Know Highlights, 2020. - It's going to Know Highlights, 2020. - Are you watching me be like, "Damn I'm good."

- That's the main reason. - Yeah. - Who, like, the confidence of you. - Yeah. - That's all yourself, you know?

Like, we struggle so much. Think about it, even. If I have 756 abats and I get 180 hits, I had a really good year. - Yeah.

- So that's, I've gone many times in my career. We're over 40, over 35, I think, over 30, something like that. Many times in my career.

- That's brutal. - Four days, five days, four days without getting hit. That sucks. - Yeah. - It's not like you're feeling going to the field.

So you gotta watch some of the big me videos for sure. - What would be like the one that you would go to, the most, if you're trying to get out of a slump. - Like, highlight or swing? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

“- What video would you look up for if you're feeling down?”

- Well, 2019 was a good season. 2018 was a good season. 24 was good. - Yes. - You saw I've been like Francisco Indoor in 2018.

- At this point now, I have the video that I've made the videos. - Oh, that's right, you got your own highlight. - Yeah, I got my own highlight. - What if he slipped in like a Frank detect?

- I totally ran to the middle of it. - I'll skip you home, Frank. - Frank don't do it for me. - Frank, Frank is not a love. You don't do it for me, you don't do it for me.

Yeah, it's, at this point, I got the videos. I'm trying to get him to make me like videos with songs and stuff. - Yeah, that's awesome. I guess we kind of have the same video.

- If you guys walking into this studio. - Tannin' and... - Yeah, it would be sick, but we, at Barstall, we do the reverse, where our guys make videos of us looking terrible, 'cause that's the funniest way.

- They're just getting the most traction. - Yeah. - Oh, no. - Yeah, they make us look fat and stupid and they're like, "Hey, look at this, but those get the best videos."

- Yeah. - I guess that's like our hitting a home run. - Hitting a home run is actually like the,

“like when you strike out, that would be like the best thing”

that we could possibly do. - Yeah. - Is like strike out and look really stupid doing it. - Yeah. - And then memes, it's his job to put that out.

- Amplify it. - Amplify it and let everybody see it. And then memes is like that clips doing really good. - Yeah. - Of you looking like an asshole.

And then we're like, "Great, this is mentally healthy." Thank you, Mitch. - I got this might be a dumb question about playing defense for soft ends,

but we always talk about being in a slump on offense

or times and it long sees where you go through a slump. Yeah, I'm to like, you know, keep your eye on the big picture. If you're in a slump defensively, how do you get out of that? - You want the butts we hit to you. You want it.

You want the base what we hit to you, you want it. And struggle in defensively, sometimes you can feel longer than struggling offensively. Because struggling offensively, there's nine of you contributing.

And then defensively, you make an error, aching cost the game. So it could be a little more. That's why I don't know how relievers and starting pictures, I don't know how they do it.

Like think about it, you go to work every five days. And if you don't succeed that day, you gotta wait another five days. That sounds not good. - Yeah, middle-releafers too, we're like specialists. - Yeah.

“- Who are coming in for one inning or for three batters?”

And a lot of them are really, really good, but if you just fail once, like, oh shit, you just cost us the entire game. - Yeah, yeah, I don't know how they do it. You know, we position players, we get so many reps,

and we get so many tries, like we can make up for what we do. But pictures, it takes longer for them. So I don't know how they do it. - When you're going through the season, it's their moment where it's like, oh man,

the season is long. Is there like a, I know it's dog, some are, but is there a part where you're like damn, my body just needs to break? 'Cause you've played a lot of your seasons,

you've played, you know, every game in minus two, or whatever it is, you don't take days off. - Yeah, it's for me, it's usually the beginning, like April and like July, like somewhere around there. - Yeah.

- August doesn't really feel that bad for me,

'cause I see the first time I see playoffs.

Okay, here it comes, get ready for it. April, it's just so them call. - I know. - No, it's called, and it's just like, these are longer, and then you're trying to like,

pace yourself for the year. And then there's July where, yeah, it's all start break, but it's like, it's that time worse for me. It's like that, I'm tired, and then after that, it's like, yeah, yeah.

- Feels like the all start break isn't even much of a break at all. - If you made the all start, no. - Yeah. - It's, it's the greatest event of the summer,

but you don't get a break. He's like, you are constantly get pulled in different directions. - Yeah, I imagine that. By the way, I had, I gotta try to find it.

I was doing some research, and I found, if you're talking about pump ups stuff, someone wrote an article that things that Francisco

Lendor has never done, and it was pretty cool,

It was like Francisco Lendor has never hit less than 12 home runs in a season. Francisco Lendor, it was good, it was like,

it was basically like he's never done these things,

but they all were good things. So that's how good you are. - That's good. - Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, Francisco Lendor has never been an average hitter.

Like statistically, you've never had a year where you were just like average or below average. Never hit fewer than 12 home runs. Missed 40 games, you never missed 40 games? - I don't know.

Missed season, I don't think so. - Yeah, that's the door ability, it's crazy. - How many home runs do you have? Do you know what's up your head? 200, what have you get to say?

- 50, seven. - No, 280. - Whoa.

“- 200, I don't have, I don't have the records, okay?”

- In front of me, I'm pretty sure Calruc and Junior has the record for most home runs as a short stop. - Got it, I'm pretty sure. Maybe A-Rot, A-Rot? - Yeah, it feels like, I mean, obviously you had a lot

as third baseman, too. - Calruc can play something in the game. - Yeah, I feel like it probably, and all it says, yeah, it says Calruc and... - I feel like you might be, it might not be the craziest thing

to say that you could do that. You could surpass Calruc and, right? - You're the actor leader, you're the actor leader for short stops. - Maybe on the ice cream?

- Yeah, maybe, yeah. - Did it come more? - Who are your heroes growing up? - Which is, I don't know. - The way I thought about my was my guy, Larkin,

was also my guy, like G-there for sure. Yeah, those guys were, where the people I said, you know, what, giving Rawlins, giving Rawlins was the guy that, like, made it more realistically. - Yeah.

- It's smaller, it's wish it were you like, okay, yeah. That's me, I'm not gonna be 63. - Sorry. - Yeah, yeah. - All right, well, this has been awesome, Francisco,

where you appreciate it coming. I got one last question for you. It's a rowback question, RHOBACK.com, promo code take,

20% off the first purchase, Qsips,

Polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, rowback.com, promo code take. We mentioned it at the start, early in the season, obviously hasn't been the best start, but can you give maybe a message to Frank the tank,

“So your stress level stay, I think you're a place.”

And we got this. - Okay, it's nice. - And then, if we don't, then you can just boo us, boo me next time we home. - He will, he will.

- Yeah, he'll take you up on that offer, I'm sure. - My Mike San just broke. - Oh, that was Hank. - Yeah, I know. - He was not saying that he was like,

"Hey, we won't repair the studio." - I have lost in do anything. - I've won last last question, and you can tell me if this is the stupidest question you've ever heard of. - Oh, it's stupid.

- Okay. - Yeah, you know you're right. If I played on the match like, I would sometimes get distracted by Mrs. Matt. Do you have you ever been distracted by Mrs. Matt? - Hot, Kate, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'd say put it away, respect the ring, but she's- - Respect the ring, yeah. Respect the ring, yeah, not the other part. - Yeah, respectfully. - Yeah, no. - Okay, okay. - Okay, well, we just agree,

I guess we have different tastes and women.

“- You guys may surprise who Mrs. Matt is.”

- What? - I don't want to finish this up. - I don't want you to finish this up. I don't want you to finish this up. (laughing) - Well Francisco, thanks so much for coming by, man.

- Yes, very sad. - But it was sad, but it was sad. - But it was sad or yesterday when people were acting like the tournament wasn't even going to happen. And it was over immediately.

Not the case. I was though, I was doing laundry yesterday. I do have a laundry in my unit, but in my building, we have a big laundry room. So sometimes if I'm trying to just bang out laundry,

I'll go down there and do three or four loads at the same time, a lot more efficient. So I was doing that yesterday. I was waiting for my wash to get done in like five minutes left. So I'm a pulp of video on my phone.

I'm washing it and all of a sudden it goes from playing out of my iPhone speakers to connect it to my air pods. Didn't have my air pods case on me. So I was like, that's weird. I don't have my air pods on me.

Realize that the pods were in my pants, which were in the washer. - So they're dead. - They can survive.

“- I think they survived, but it doesn't sound good.”

- I've done it. - So that's probably like pods number 10 down. - I gotta take. - But yeah, it was a tough realization when I was like, where are my airpards on?

They're not, like it wouldn't have connected. They're upstairs. That's too far to connect. - Yeah. - Don't have my case on me.

Like how is that possible when I realize a fuck. - I think becoming mature has meant for me that I'm going, I've stopped even trying to own it. That's the air pods. - That was maybe my take.

- I gave up. - I don't know if this is a hot take or if people agree. I think air pods fucking suck. - Yeah. - I gave up.

- You lose them.

They're never like the charging, everything.

It just sucks. I'd rather have wired headphones. - You won. - Yeah.

“- Or wireless just the actual headphones”

that go around your ears? - Yeah, like the big Bose, like there's noise canceling. I've given up completely. It's a sick joke that they even made us try to work with these things for the last 10 years.

- They made the technology too small. It's too hard to keep track of. They figured out a way to basically say, hey, we're going to make this thing that looks cool that you're going to want to buy,

that you're going to lose or break or lose again. And then you're going to have to re-buy it. - Wow. 100% out on air pods. - Really have the trick of starting a business is making a good product that your consumer will lose constantly.

- And the biggest scam going is if you lose the case, you can't just buy new case. - Yeah. - Yeah, no, I've been out on air pods for a while now 'cause it's also just,

and especially if you have multiple air pods in the house then you connect to my white seropods and she connects mine and you figure it out, there's just too much Bluetooth going around. I'm out, I can use wired headphones, no problem.

So just go to wired. And also the best part about wired headphones is you can lose them and you don't give a fuck. They're like 30 bucks, you lose them. I have like probably 10 pairs of wired headphones,

just scattered in, like, couple in my car, couple in my office, couple in my house, like random coats.

I just know that I'll always be able to figure out

where there's wired headphones. I also have like one earbud of like four different set of ear buds, like a left saw. - Yeah, that are around my house. I, like for some reason, just hang on to him in case

I find the other one and the case. - So now you're free hank, just get done with it. - Yeah, wired, wired, wired for life. - Yeah, move on. - It's also probably is me showing

that I don't work out very often because I feel like that would be the one. People are going to respond and be like, yeah, wired headphones suck when you're trying to work out and I just completely forgot about that.

- There is. - It's not part of my life. - It's not that bad. - People worked out with headphones for, yeah, yeah. - But that is, I, just don't know me.

That is going to be the main, like, dude, way to show that you don't work out. - Yeah, guilty is charged. - Yeah, for a sitting. - Yeah, my firefest of the week,

I've had actually really good week. I've enjoyed my week so far, but there was one thing that happened to me yesterday, which is the handicap police are on my bumper again.

But now I've got people being like, you're lying about your handicap because I was talking about the whole breaking 110 thing.

- For a second there, I thought you were talking about

your car bumper and my handicap sticker. - No, the fun thing. - But you do. People don't know that about PFT. He does legally have a handicap sticker.

- So somebody asked me what my handicap is. I say I'm five eight. - Yeah. - And it's a funny joke that everybody likes. But no, people are mad about my handicap.

My handicap, I was perfectly transparent when I was talking about the breaking 110 thing. Right now since it's been out of season Chicago, I've been using the 18 birdies handicap to log some of the rounds,

which is a little bit different from the GHIN, but people are looking up the GHIN Hank as you know. And then they're like, you're a 20 hint, yes, on GHIN, 100% 20 handicap. And the firefest really for me was the fact that for the first time,

I started to care that people were like, you're lying about your head. I think that's part of the stages. You have becoming a golfer is like having to defend your last year, people are like, that's not your handicap.

And I was like, that's very funny that people care. - Yeah. - Now I'm like, fuck you, I will prove to you that that is my handicap. And it's just, I feel like that's becoming old

or becoming just like more into golf. But yeah, that's really, that's a worst thing that happened to me this week. - That's good week. - That and also like staying up until midnight last night

just thinking about how the spear goes through the W. And giving me a lot of anxiety. - Yeah, I had two quick ones. One was, and you guys know this because I texted the group. I just, I don't know why, but I do know why.

I'm going through, we're doing some construction in my house. And I just hadn't turned on my computer in my basement in like three months 'cause we haven't had to record Zoom late. Just didn't know my computer password and just sat there typing in, I don't know,

75 variations of it, so frustrated to the point that I had to call all business Pete and be like, tell me my password. He actually knew it, which is also scary. - That's concerned.

- He just knows all my passwords.

“But I'm happy that he does, but yeah, I think it's part”

of like getting old and I don't know. I just, not knowing you're having to call someone to be like, what's my password is probably the oldest you could possibly feel about anything. - Yeah, that's actually way, way worse

that Pete was like, actually I do have it. - He took him a while, but then he got it. And then he went on two old guys, getting the password. Yeah, I texted you guys to be like, who knows my password? No one did.

- So my advice was to just walk around for five minutes and then try again. That's like, that's how I, yeah. - It's like unplugging your body and plugging it back in. - Well, it's also, I had a moment where I just,

I realized too, like I, I've said this before, but like if I ever get like a catastrophic danger or anything like just shoot me like a horse, I'm a give up guy. There was a moment where my wife was trying to help me

and I was like fuck this, I'm just throwing this computer in the trash, I'm just gonna go buy a new one tomorrow. She's like, that is the most ridiculous thing ever.

And then finally we got it.

But yeah, I do give up quick. You can figure out if you had to do a complete reset of your computer. - Yeah, maybe. And then the other one was just, I just,

every now and then with little kids,

“I think this is relatable to people of kids”

that they get, they get zingered and they just have no response. I was having a disagree with my son, my soon to be seven year old last night where he wanted me to go get him something

and I was like, you got it, you have two feet, go get it. And he's like, I went to school all day, I ran around, I went to recess, I went to the gym, you went to work and sat all day. And I was just like, yeah, you know what, you're right.

I'll go get it. Yeah, he just nailed me. I was like, I went through, I cataloged through my day and I was like, yeah, I actually sat for 99% of my day.

So that's what we do. - And that was a little, that was a little hurtful to just be like, yeah, I did sit all day. - Yeah, you know, who else sits all day? Race car drivers, that's a hard job.

Pilots, they sit all day. - People with ear to bowel syndrome. - FDR and he won World War Two. - Facts. - I am gonna start back up the Chinese workout.

Maybe someday, we'll be the first day.

We'll go live, we gotta do it, we gotta do it. Gotta get, gotta get, it's T-shirt weather. - Sack. - My firefighter's the week is just housing. I've got an apartment where my lease

is currently coming up. And I was thinking about maybe branching out, moving somewhere else, you know, I've been in the administration at the current apartment complex, I've had some,

some back in the course. - Yeah, we just, so I thought maybe fresh start, we figured something out. And there's two routes you can take. You go, you can maybe go manage building,

but guess what, nobody's calling you back. And also, if you try to go like a guy who gets you into the building,

“there's like a secret code where they don't want,”

they'll show you a video, but they won't tell you where the apartment's at. They won't say the name of the building or the street. Unless you confirm that he's your guys. It's like, feels like insider trading.

And then you can go the independent route, but like every apartment I call independently, you look up the address and find out, it's not a real place into scam and they're using fake photos.

So it's like you either get scammed by the managed building guy or you get scammed by the independent guy who doesn't even live in Chicago, he lives in different country and he's just posting photos online at a good rate. Or is I have a question for you?

- I have a question for you. - Yeah.

- Do you know that realtors in Chicago are free for rentals? They cannot charge you.

“A realtor cannot charge you to find a rentals.”

- They're not like New York, they weren't trying to charge me, but they won't give me any inventory. - How could that be? - Let's get a AWO realtor to help you. - Yes.

- They're like, they're like, just get a realtor. It's the easiest way. - Someone listen is right now, it's a $5 realtor. Who will get you a fucking pimped pad? A pimped pallis.

- I want Zack, I need you to have multiple rooms. - That would be huge for square footage. - You can afford multiple rooms. - That would be huge for square footage, yeah, that would be huge. - How about when are you moving?

- The end of June is where my, let's get it. - Let's get Zack an awesome apartment. - How many doors do you have right now? - One. - Interior doors two, three.

- Wait, what? - A bathroom, I have a,

wash a dryer door, bathroom door, front door three.

- Wash a dryer has a door. - Okay, bathroom door. - It's got one bag. - He's got one interior door. - Yeah, you have no bedroom door.

- Your bedroom is a studio. - Yeah. - Let's get you some rooms. - I want you to have to. - We gotta get you two maybe three rooms.

- Yeah. - Three's gotten this.

“- Three of them you start accumulating stuff, you know?”

- You could have three rooms. You could have a room that you stream in. You could have your living room. You could have your bedroom. - Imagine?

- Yeah, that, you're right though. Actually, the three rooms might be great. Like, that could be all time. But if you got these, let's start with one. - Let's start with one.

- Let's start with one. - Two, we need to get bedroom, a bedroom and a living room. - I find these guys on TikTok, with one bag. I got these apartments and you hit them up for the apartment and they're just like, "Well, if I tell you where this building is at,

"you're my guy, if you try to go to this building without me, "there's an issue." - All right, so they did no more TikTok. - It's like the mall. - We need a real Chicago realtor who's listening is right now.

I know there are some they're listening to this. Email, maxes, bachelor party, whatever. What is it? What's email? - PMT bachelor party.

(laughing) Let's get you a realtor. Let's get you, I want you in a fucking pad, dude. You know what? I want you, I want to say right now,

I'm gonna put this out there.

Let's say July, let's say July, 20 second.

What's the day of the week? 'Cause July 22nd. Look it up, July 22nd. Day of the week, days of the week. - So Wednesday?

- Don't, days of the week, all right. July 22nd, part of my take will have a new episode. There will be take live from Zach's awesome apartment. We're gonna get in there. We're gonna take one episode on the 21st.

- A home game? - Yeah. - Oh goodness. - Would be sick, right? - I'll make sure for just stock for you boys.

- The boys just hanging out in your past. - Zach, how did you find this one? - We're the steps you went through. - I found a guy in TikTok. (laughing)

- Yeah, and so what was that process? - It was that, that was another thing where... - Yeah, he had one apartment. - I was at a state, so I couldn't like tour the apartments. It was like, I kind of just am going off faith here.

Like hopefully this guy's not just, hopefully this apartment is real. And he, I got the information from, I've seen some videos, but he, again, he was like, I'm gonna hook you up with this apartment complex.

But if you go in here and I told you about it, if you try to talk to them without me, they won't give you the apartment. So I had to like face time him with the lady who did the tour, we did a three-way call,

and I think I got banged. But so I'm not gonna use that guy again, but you know, TikTok Instagram was my only, 'cause I was trying the websites, but when you put the independent housing on the websites,

you search the address on Google Maps, and it's like, this isn't an apartment, this is a Pizzeria. - Right, yeah, there's a lot of that. - We're gonna need you hooked up with a reputable realtor. We got you.

- And then I'm here in stories, locally guys who thought they had reputable realtor and then they're getting banged too. - All right, well we'll get someone who you could trust and guess what, if they fuck you over,

we're just gonna bash them on the show. - Cyberbully?

“- Yeah, absolutely, that's what's the state.”

Whoever applies to be Zack's realtor, just know you have to do him right, otherwise you're getting the wrath of all of us. We gotta protect our boy, you know? Bro's guys stick together, I get to fend you.

- And if we do the home game, I can even cook for you guys. - Oh, that would be great, that would be great. Max, Christopher and Connor, did you guys have anything? - Love the two seas. Christopher Connor?

- Uh, you know, standard stuff, I'm addicted to baths and actually I shouldn't have said this and... - Oh. - I'm, okay, you sh*t in the bath the other day? - No, no, I didn't sh*t in the bath,

but I'm also having some shitting problems this week. - I don't, you're pussy. - But I don't want it to make it seem like I'm shitting in the bath, that's why I was, that's why I was saying. - Yeah, it sounds like you were shitting in the bath.

- Did you accidentally sh*t in the bath? - No, I didn't actually, I've just been, I, we started talking about, I'm, I've taken a bath

- So today you did?

- Oh yeah, but I was at like six a.m.

I woke up early 'cause I had to sh*t in the bath. - Yeah, it's, oh. - And then you just went right into the bath. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I went back this, I, I woke up in the bath.

- Bro, I rolled off the toilet into your bath. It's just the biggest bath ever, is your bath? - This is incorrect, this is incorrect. - Okay, but yeah, now I'm starting to think like around eight, 30 in the morning.

I'm like, Max is probably naked right now in a bath. - That's been like guaranteed every day. - Oh, I don't need that. - Connor, I'm fat. - No, I'm fat, I'm fat.

- I'm sick of you complaining about this. This is my life. If you've had one day where people call you fat online

“and you've acted like it's the worst thing in the world,”

it is every single thing that I post.

- Not everything's about you.

- Also, you've been, you've been crying, and it's all we've had. - Let me explain it. - Go ahead. - Are you done? - Max, are you done?

- So we have a golf video coming out Sunday, everyone should go watch it on the part of my take you, dude. - Almost broke the podcast support. - Oh, you do look good. - Yeah, I look fat as fuck.

- Oh, geez. - So memes, what was that? - It was like a bad talk, you had a bad talk. - Yeah, I had a bad talk, the shirt was hanging. - To know memes had a fupa.

- Yeah. - Damn me. - It's bad talk. - You can see the fuzz kind of pod doesn't get talked about. - You're right, yeah.

- They're called me, "Bake Bertha."

- I thought memes was closer to Hank or PFT's

“build, he's closer to Max and larger than Big Cat.”

- Oh, oh. - So memes, what I, my God. - What are we gonna do? - Part of my meme is so hard. - We also told you your look was bad.

- We did, there was no bell, right? - No bell. - That's the name of the scare sex. - Yeah, the no bell shirt tuck in. - It's a choice, it makes it look like my stuff.

- I think we told you to unta, just go, 'cause you're half tough, that was your problem. - It's a large shirt, but you just go fully on top. - I mean, I am fat, I'm just wide. I aspire to have that locker one day.

- Yeah, go watch the videos, it's gonna be awesome. - Hank, really good stuff. - It's a good entertaining video. - If you are thinking of yourself right now, I'm not gonna watch the video, unless I get to see Hank golf.

- Twice as much as everyone else will, good news, he does. - Lefty, lefty handwriting. - Except when he's chipping and when he's potting. - No, I chipped him potting, lefty of this video. - All left handed?

- Yeah, I remember he put it, lefty.

“- Yeah, it was a very funny video though.”

- It was from Spring Break. - Okay, numbers, good show boys. - Two, 11, 15, max. - What? - Good boy.

- On Sunday. - Oh yeah. - 56. - 10, 11's coming, 11, oh, 11's coming. - 23.

- 23. - Yes. - Two. - Two. - Boys relate.

- Rip it, they're not here. - Yeah, I did. - We got a, we have a percentage, the guy who does the part in my balls. - Yeah. - Website is now tracking the FT's success rate on birthdays.

- That's so arbitrary. - FT commentator, it was a 79.8% happy. - FT, that's pretty, that's pretty, that's pretty. - That is a pretty great percentage, right? - Pretty good?

- Yeah, that's like, he's an armature as a good. - That's great percentage. - Like, 14. - Oh, what was your guess? - Yeah, 11.

- Let's see one more, this one, you don't get to be like, so close for 14's coming. - We got this, we got this. (laughing) - Oh, the part of my balls guys, that's the man.

Part of my balls, shout out David, David. Deck, doc, I don't know if I can put it to the wall. (laughing) What do you want? - Very right, fine, I love you guys.
