Blackhawks, awesome interview with him. We also have a decision.

The Braun James is a full PS76er and we're going to break that whole thing down because it is a massive news for the city of Fluffy. It's massive news. Fluffy is going to be going crazy.

So go grab a Dew today. Taste and grate since 48. Okay. Let's go. . Welcome to part of my take, presented by Draft King's The Crown is yours. Today is Monday, July 27th and LeBron James as a foothill 76er. Boyz. Boyz.

The decision has been made. The dye has been cast. It's championship for bus for the six years. It's championship for bus for the six years. They don't win the NBA championship next year. This could be the most disappointing season in the history of basketball. I'd agree, PFC. I'd be the best favorites. Super ties. I'd agree, PFT. Well, let's relax. We'll get it. We're going to you. Let's set the stage on Friday morning. LeBron James decided his final decision

as he said. His final decision. So this is it. He's going to retire a full

fifth, 76er. He did it in a few tweets. I did like the part where he basically was like

family's not important. Now I know what he means by that. He's basically saying that his

his two oldest or already in college. He's got a young daughter, but he wasn't deciding like where my family's going to, you know, be raised because they've already been raised to extend. But it just is funny to be like family was not part of this. Strictly a basketball decision. It's a basketball decision. And we can get into everything. What it means in terms of just basketball, it was the best choice. In terms of just basketball, it was the best choice. If you say

that it was between Cleveland, Golden State, Miami, maybe throwing Minnesota, the fall of the 76ers have the best chance with Jalen Brown now on the team, Vijay Edg com, Tyrese Maxi and Joel and bead. If he's healthy, that is the best team. Basketball wise.

We can have a question for you. Yes. How many balls do they play with in the NBA?

At one time, on the court, regulation I'm talking about here. How many balls? It's one. There's just one ball. There's just one ball. Is that enough balls? If I not be, I don't think that it might not be enough

Balls.

five, projected started five. And as Max is said, Joel and bead is coming off the best, most healthy

offseason that he's had in the last three years. So every saying, okay, yeah, there's only a little injured in the right. Most healthy offseason in the last three years were Joel and bead. Got it. It does feel like this is a team that out of the east should be pretty good. Now, there are some teams out there that might be upset that we're anointing the sixers, like congratulations on winning these. Congratulations, I'm winning the title. The title, the entire

NBA championship, namely memes. And the New York mix. Okay. Are not taking this, this news too. Well, which is great. Like I like that now. There's a rivalry. We don't just have the Celtics against the sixers on this show. We've got legit like the mix against the sixers now too.

And don't forget the wizard. And the wizards. Have you looked at the wizard's NBA Cup group this

year? No, group of death. Oh, no. Group of death. Sixers, bulls. Oh, yeah. We'll look forward to that. But this does feel like the best possible news for the show. Thank you to LeBron James for choosing the 76ers. I'm very excited about it. Well, and if we're going to do, thank yous. Thank you, LeBron James. Thank you Henry Lockwood. Because hate made this happen. Brad Stevens and the Celtics made this happen. Yeah. They said they said that Bron was not worried like don't even think about

fall for a till Jalen Brown got traded to the sixers. And then he started thinking about fall.

Yeah. Right. I think that this could be the the greatest thing that Brad Stevens has ever

done. Oh, do you tell? I think I think he's playing. I think he's playing for D chess. He knows he knew what he was doing with the Jalen Brown trade and now with all the pressures now on LeBron Jalen Brown didn't want to be, you know, a number two option with Boston. And now the sixers, it might be number four. What happens? I cannot wait for the end of games with the with the sixers. Like what's going to happen is this team going to gel on paper. They're stacked the graphic of

their starting lineup. It's stacked. It's formidable. But when you, you know, you look at the numbers the usage rate. Like all these guys are stars when they have the ball in their hands. There is only one ball. Hank hit him with your straight. All right, Max is now. He's he's talking without the micons. We got it. We got a Max congratulations. You have LeBron James on on the phone. He has seventy-sixers. LeBron historically passes at the end at the end of the game. So we go. Oh, my gosh.

That sounded like we have the end of there. No, that's not anywhere. It's like, oh, what are they going to do? Everyone's everyone's fighting for the ball for the last shot. Yeah. And LeBron is historic of like finding the open man for the last shot. Okay, so Max, talk walk us through your feelings when it happened on Friday. Everything has happened since. You are now LeBron fan. You are the number one LeBron fan on this show for sure.

Actually, can I ask this question first? Philadelphia is a very proud sports city. They're known for being honest with their fans. They're known for when things are not up to snuff. They will let, or sorry, they're honest with their players. When things are not up to

snuff, they'll let their players have it. If LeBron James does not perform, will you be booing LeBron James?

No, because he's getting paid $3.99 million. This is sad. This is sad. Exactly what he did to the

Lakers. He's going to want to try his became general manager, made them draft a son, became untouchable. Now he's going to fluffy it and all of a sudden, the fluffiest sports fan that we know and love so much has completely just acquiesce to LeBron. You've been neutered by LeBron. Yeah. What is the expectations for a guy on a vetman? I'm just asking. It's LeBron James. Yeah, LeBron James. Okay, that man. All right, let me ask you that. This shows the coming of LeBron on the vet

men. How many vet men's signings? The 76 have ever had in the history of their franchise that you have sprinted around the often screaming. We got him. We got him. We got him. We got him. He's first. I first. Exactly. So it's not. You can play the vet men thing. But let's be honest. This is championship or bust. I don't know what. I don't know what you mean by championship or bust.

Like if if we lose in the end, I think it's what we lose in the NBA finals. I'm going to

be like, oh LeBron's a fucking asshole. Is it coming to Philadelphia? Not winning a championship? $70. $70. What is it to change? Look, let's look at where the Philadelphia 76ers were in June. Okay. We had just gotten swept by the nicks. Have you beat the Celtics? After we beat the Celtics, the franchise was going in the complete opposite direction. We had the two worst contracts in the NBA. No, triumphant. No, not Paul George.

And then we ended up trading Paul George and Quentin Grimes for LeBron James and Jalen Brown. Um, obviously you're going to be excited for the future of the franchise

From what it looked like a month ago.

What does that have to do with championship or bust? Is it the championship or the bus that's confusing you? Okay. I don't understand championship or bust. Do you knock that or not the favorites to win the

championship? They are not the second favorites to win the championship. They are tied for third.

So I don't understand how it's championship or bust when they're not the favorites to win the fucking championship. Well, they're the first out of the east. Yeah, they're tied for first with the nicks out of the east. Okay, so they're first out of the east. They're tied for the champions last year. Yeah, correct. Um, championship or bust. Yeah, you guys can say championship or bust. Well, you want. Listen, I think you can pretend to not understand how the LeBron James Factor works,

but when LeBron chooses a team. Yeah, and immediately becomes championship or bust. You will be talked about by by by the talking heads more than any other team. So like a tent degree. You're not. Yeah, I don't think you're ready for it. Oh, I'm just spotlight.

Well, it sounds like you're not because you, you've already lost who you are. You are going to boom.

If you, if he sucks. Yeah, everybody gets a trophy in Philly now. That's, that's how it's going to be.

You're just happy you're just happy he chose you. Yeah, I'm ecstatic that he chose Philadelphia. LeBron James gets a work when, yeah, I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go. I'm a LeBron sexual. That's my goat. That's my guy by the shirt, bar soul store, LeBron goat. I love this guy. I love this team. I'm so excited for basketball season. What about the, uh, the possible simmering beef behind the scenes that Jalen Brown doesn't like Brown. He doesn't think he's a good

good enough to be a pro. And the fact that he wants his own team in like Hank said. What about the fact that it has been reported that he was very much a part of the recruitment of LeBron to come to Philadelphia. I didn't see that report. Okay. Oh, was that, that was a good thing where Jalen has not talked to immediate, right? That was the same report. I think it was the same report, but that was a real thing. That was also a report. Do you think they're going to

try and trade in bead for Anthony Davis? No. Are you nervous that the question? Even though your championship or bust, which we all agree, uh, it does still kind of come down to Joel and Beath's health. Yeah, I, I just said I don't even play him until April. That is the one thing that like that is set up in Mike Gansy did a great job with these moves. Uh, is that the sixers are set up that they can probably win a lot of regular season games and get a good seed in a very

stacked east now, uh, without stressing out in bead and LeBron. Because Jalen Brown and Tirey Swaxy should be able to play 70 plus games and same with VG Edge come and you can win a lot of games with those guys and back to backs and all that stuff. You don't have to play playing in Denver and bead doesn't have to play there like that kind of stuff. So that's good. It means you're going to play in Denver this year. Guaranteed. Is it Denver or bust? Is he okay? If it's

if you're okay just in playing the net, you're gonna try to be hurt. Is this so good for the show? I can't believe. I'm so excited. I'm so excited for basketball. Max, tell me your three favorite things about LeBron James. As a bronze sexual. Uh, family man, I respect. Yeah. I respect his, his love for for his wife and children. He abandoned Bronn. He didn't, he also doesn't care. He didn't, he didn't

consult them in this decision. Yeah. No, sometimes you have to make decisions for yourself and your

basketball career. Okay. Um, he's really good at reading books. I respect his intellect. Yep. And I respect the way he plays the game of basketball. Okay. Also, possibly a racist. Uh, yeah. You're gonna have to take on all come right now. They're gonna be coming at me. I'm a Biden guy anyway. You're not, you're not ready for the spotlight. I can already tell just from these 20 minutes. You're not ready for the spotlight. I'm ready. I don't, I did text Ron and I was like,

I'm gonna need, I want to need some help. Let's get your talking points right. If I were to sit here and say, I think Michael Jordan's the goat championships. Look how many rings he got. What's your bottle? Uh, LeBron, more points. Okay. I'll see. Played long. Compiled. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Lawn gravity is a big thing that is a big thing in sports. The fact that he's 42 years old. He's still

doing it. LeBron, Michael Jordan couldn't do it at 42. It's also interesting that that LeBron has never

had an injury. Uh, he was a little bit injured last year. I banged up. We all get banged up. Yeah, but do you think Paul George will give him his connecting Philadelphia? No, Paul George. We don't know what those drugs were. No one knows what those drugs were. And for you to assume it's making ass out of you and me. I in LeBron is, it's crazy that he's, that he still can move the media and the

world and the NBA and year. What is he? 24? I think I saw the, the numerology. It was the, it was the

24th day and it's 24th season and he signed for eight year, eight million a year. So the Kobe everywhere in Kobe's hometown. But yeah, it's crazy. Like I saw, I saw a stat. And this, like, I just

Don't want LeBron.

That's all I care about. I told you that I would make a truce with you that if I could find a way

that LeBron is like, through the course of the season, they're like the best rotation is LeBron playing

eight minutes a game. And then the six years win with LeBron being like the ninth guy off the bench, I actually would love that. I would, I would, I would, I would, I would route for you, Max, because then I could just have another arrow in my quiver of being like, yeah, he was a role player, like, cool. I do think it's a little weird that he's on his 14, when you have the goat to be. I do, I do. Four teams is weird. Why? Why? Because I just do this. This is my personal belief.

Like, I don't have personal belief. I feel like that's good. Yeah. The goat should be a little bit loyal. Yeah. I have my personal beliefs. It's a mercenary. Loyal to what? Like, he's, again, it doesn't, it's not an argument that has any type of substance behind it other than I just like to say, four teams. That's crazy. I'm just excited. He's in Philadelphia. I said, I'm excited. He's in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He's gonna be the leader in the locker room. That was one thing that

was worried about with the M.B. J.L. and Brown, like, who's gonna be the leader and the guy that everyone rallies around now. They don't really have an argument to be made to be like, it's Lebron. It's Lebron. Everyone's gonna look to Lebron. He's gonna be the one that gets everyone ready to go in the playoff series. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Who's team it is? Yeah. Brown, please. Rank who's team it is. No, no. Rank it. Who's team? Like, if Lebron is out, who's team?

Josh Harris. Number one. Who's team? It's Lebron. No, there's no link to that. No, no, no, rank them. Obviously he's a ranking. Lebron is the leader. If he had team, I just didn't show up tomorrow. It's Hank's team. If Hank didn't show up, you guys decide. I got, I don't know. I guess what I'm wondering, Max, where does Maxy fit in all this? Because it felt like two months ago, this is Maxy's team. And then, he kind of lost the team. Turns out the star matter. The rich Paul Whiteboard. Yes. Also turns out

Tyre's Maxy posted a video almost immediately of him jumping for joy in the gym. Oh, yeah. I know what's client's client's client's stick together. He's happy. Yeah. DJ Edgecom did the, I can't leave this in my life.

Mean. Happy got sick. Happy got to Lebron said he was signing. But the dynamic you have to admit is going to be

interesting. Good thing that you have like the best vet in the league in that locker room to get the boys ready. Rank who's team it is. Lebron. And then one, two, three, like you know what I'm asking. Don't be able to run one, one, and be two. Okay. Can't progress. Three, yes. Three and four is, no, no, give it to us. Maxy and Jalen Brown are right there. Okay. They're interchangeable. Okay. Then Edgecom. Yeah. Then D Wade?

Not probably then Hockporty. Okay. Lebron. Yeah. Maybe maybe some Lebron in there. First time of

Lebron's ever played with Lebron. Anthony Simon's. Okay. So D Wade. Tavius, Tavius called well, Pope. Oh yeah. That's right. D Wade. Tavius called well, Pope was fired up on the golf course. When he realized he was going to Philly. Hell yeah. Not to see it. All right. So here's some some crazy Lebron longevity because he signed a two-year deal, which is also significant. It's not just a one-year deal. He signed it seems like he wants to play for two more years. There are 140 active players in the

NBA that have been born after Lebron debuted. He has played against 37% of all players in NBA history. That's pretty insane. That is the oldest opponent was born 1962 Kevin Willis, the youngest 2006. That's a lot of years. That's a lot of years in between. And he's played against 1,857 different opponents and played with 250 different teammates. That's nuts. So yeah, he's older than six active head coach played against five active head coaches. It's longevity is insane.

The fact that we're like I said go like this is a pro Lebron statement. The fact that he is at this age, still moving odds, this significant news, this significant of a piece is insane. It's

really something that like we probably will never see again. It does bear repeating that when Lebron

James debuted in the NBA. That was me in Big Cat's freshman year of college. Yep. And I still remember watching that first game because he was anointed as being the chosen one before. He got to the NBA,

the cover sports illustrated. I remember that first game is against the Kings, right? Yeah.

And for him to be doing it is the only thing that's keeping me in Big Cat feeling like we're

Not old yet.

a harsh realization for men of a certain age like myself in Big Cat where it's like oh shit,

maybe we are actually in our 40s now. But until that time happens, I still kind of feel like I might be young. We got some more years. Lebron James is still out there competing at a high level in the NBA. Yeah. By the way, speaking of the chosen one, the full office as a city has both chosen ones now because that was the other sports illustrated chosen one was Bryce Harper. Oh yeah. So they have both chosen one. And they both chose to go to Philadelphia. That's a great city of chance. But he also

chose not to go to Philadelphia multiple times too. That doesn't matter. That's what I'm just saying.

Mean, how do you feel about the fact that the nicks did not even reach out to Lebron? They didn't reach out to them. They just turned down. Oh, so they reached out. Lebron reached out to the nicks. Yeah, and the nicks said no, thank you. Yeah, I also that's way worse than not even reaching out. I still think they

could afford them. But that men, he also would have been coming off the bench. He doesn't want to do that.

I feel bad the nicks like the nicks feels like they won the championship and then the world cup kind of took over real quick and then that's not like no one that seems like yeah. No, I feel bad. There'll be like a trivia question like oh yeah, who did win the 20, 20, 60. That's a good point. Yeah. Great point, Hank. How are you doing? Because this is actually hell for you. Like let's try out that this is great. I just really did this. There's a chance that

no, because you're living in the world where Lebron is a failure in Philadelphia and Max still cheers. What happens if Lebron wins it all and Max is a winner and the team of the decade, like you don't even have even a quote, you don't have an argument for it. That I mean, we're a long, long, long way away from that. That would be a bad situation. It's exciting. It's like Brad Stevens made an insane gamble, but you know, only time will tell if it pays off or not. We're back to being

the scrappy underdogs, which I feel like is where, you know, the Celtics thrive. So it's like everyone's expecting. It's going to be nicks or sixers. Everyone's forgetting about the Celtics. That's a fun spot to be in. I also hated Lebron for so long when he's on the calves and the heat. The lakers, I just, it wasn't as easy to get up the hate form. Obviously when he won the bubble championship, that was even a real championship. Now it's now it's exciting to just, to just

turn it all the way back on. Oh, so you're, you're, you're actually meeting this as like an opportunity.

Yeah, it's like you, you now get to, to throw back the clock almost. The team, I think,

memes cited on Friday, but the team that beats them, like, there's a team that's going to have an opportunity to retire Lebron. Wow. And I would like to do that. Wow. I send him on his way. You personally like to do that. Wow. That's exciting. That is exciting. And there's no part of you that's scared at all about that guy sitting in the booth.

No. I think what about the brothers. Double DNA. No, I mean, I'll never see them again. So I'm

not what I'm sure. That sounds like a game. If there's like a game seven Celtic sixes, you don't think I'm paying for them to come out here? No. 100%. First class. Or send Hank to fluffy. Yeah. I, I, they are a really good team. They are as a basketball graphic as a graphic. They're starting five isn't saying I also feel bad for V. Jage. Come like he was, you know, coming at coming into his own, getting a much bigger role. And now it's

like he's, he's going to be the fifth option. He's going to be forgotten about like his development's going to probably, like, that's insane. Fall off a lot. Uh-huh. It's going to be stoncing. Are you worried about you? Stoncing from the best player of all time. I thought he was a veteran. It's the vault. It's going to be the end of that. Right. Both of those things are true. Okay. So, but you can be excited. You can then boo the best player of all

time. Your words. Not mine. I didn't. If he does, if he does, and play well enough, you're just switching back and forth. So when he said the Bronis bad, he's a veteran when he's good. He's the best player of all time. Which one would you boo? Through his career, LeBron has a lot to teach V. J. Edge. Go. I understand. No matter where he is right now. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about exactly what you're talking about. I'm talking

about if LeBron fails. Will you boo him? No. Because he's a Batman. That's that. That's that.

Max. I think a lot of sixures. It is the best contract in the history of the NBA.

A little fear. If you are, what I listen, I put a little fear on a pedestal in terms of like the the most passionate fans, the fans that will give it to you straight the most. I have tremendous respect for the city. Don't let LeBron ruin that. I don't think that they will. That's the thing is like Max is saying that they won't, but I think that they will. I think the vast majority of philosophy is going to disagree with Max when it comes to building LeBron, if he does not

perform it. This is all hypothetical land. We're using fantasy. We're just how dudes use our imagination. Oh, that's got championship or bust like what's what's considered a successful season, what's considered a failure. You just want to be part of the farewell tour, you just want to document. He's all well. He says it's already a success because LeBron patting us on the head and being like, I want to live in Philly for eight months. Yeah. That's that's more important

To be living.

documentary is going to rock. See, that's what I'm saying. It would be, if he wins, if he wins, I will watch that documentary. What Billy into? But what was the answer to that? What is success? I mean, what's success for anyone? The goal is to win a championship. Well, different goals. There's realistic goals for teams. We're not going to win. We're not going to win. We don't expect to win. Yeah. We're happy to win one series. Is that the case next year? No,

that wasn't a success. No, but you were going into the sea. You were like, I don't expect the success to do anything here. Like, that's fun. Correct. Right. What is the goal for LeBron James info? I'll see you for the next two years. I would be happy to get. I would be happy to win the Eastern Conference. Oh, Mike. Okay. All right. So, it's conference or bust. Wow. I would be happy to win the Eastern Conference. Eastern bust. Wow. So, LeBron is Eastern Conference final

chasing. Not rings. I love second place finishes. You know I love second place finishes. Okay.

Yeah. We do know that. You should be championship. It seems, and that's the thing. I don't even

believe. So, Max is saying this, but I think the vast, vast majority of philosophy has higher expectations than you do. I think they're listening to Max right now, and they're upset with Max. They're already mad about what LeBron's done to the city because he's made Max turn into this little beta bitch. Yeah. And Max used to have standards. The city is more important than one guy coming there at the interview's career, demanding that he gets a retirement tour, demanding that he gets one more

crack at it. The old vet. Two more cracks at it. Two more cracks at it. You know thing about putting a lot of cracks out there. All I'm saying Max is that you crack just comes out of all the time. That's one big one. Oh, I'm saying that old Max, old Max used to have his eyes open about what this would mean. And he would say I'm glad that LeBron's here. But Fluffy has standards. All right. Find a championship for both. Okay. There we go. All right. You guys want me to say a championship for

you guys. What do you think about memes? Graphic that he put out saying that he put the starting

line up and then say they're the all if they stay healthy team and put if on all their jersey. Yeah. That wasn't saying. Tyre's Maxy led the league and then led the league in minutes last year. Jalen Brown didn't miss a game last year. LeBron James. As we have said on this show,

never gets injured. Oh, okay. Did you not say that? You just said I was just so much longevity.

No, you said you literally accused him of steroids because he never injured. I didn't say literally. I said I said Paul George and he should talk. I also said it was interesting. I'm funding a lot of things like anything. Like this is my curiosity. That's crazy. You jump to that level. I was thinking like Paul George was like he tells them like maybe Paul George's soul must house. Yes. Yes. And B. That I'll give you M. B. But the if on every single player was

funny. I still brought up. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Neither is Tyre's Maxy. Like yeah. Music is just going through. It's okay. Like there's there's you know stages. Yeah. That was also weird on goes at Friday saying like I was going through it. I was going through nothing. I was just doing my job. You were in your fields. You didn't speak to Max. That was the way we were waiting for Sunday. We were waiting for the show. I mean we were all talking. Flo. Right. 100% I was talking to everyone.

But that's okay. Would Joel and B. have to say about this? Nothing yet but he and that's interesting to me. Why? Because him and him and LeBron had a two hour. What's going on back there? Yeah. Headphones are stuck in the chair. Yeah. They're stuck in the wheel. Yeah. That happens all the time. They get stuck in the the core get stuck in the wheel. Keep going in and out. I didn't even hear what meme said. Means you didn't talk to Max on Friday. Why not? That's kind of a pussy move. Dude you're

champion. Don't be way for the show here. You didn't even talk to him? Well, I want to make fun of him. And he was sub-tweeting him the whole time, which is a sign that, oh yeah, memes in his fields.

I was in my fields. You should be in your fields. You two base ops were built by you.

I want to Jam Jam. Max probably don't want Jam Jam this year. And your entire, your entire front office is going to be fired. That's for specs. But you are going to get a nice car from PFT because they're going to, there's no. All right. So I mean, no, no, no, we're just lashing out right now. Yeah. Oh, let me do an ad real quick. Those are bangers. I had those good job memes. Sky got you got you going. All right. Draft Kings is summer. Whatever you're watching baseball golf

Take, spend five bucks to get a 150 in rewards within 14 days, includes all m...

code taking partnership with draft Kings, the crown is yours. PFT. I did have a question for you. Okay. Okay. One, there's two things that maybe are great for you right now with this move.

Okay. I'm willing to hear them. The first being, the east is really good. East is tough. Yeah.

East got better. The, the, the, the pissons were the one seed. Obviously they have, have question marks for still. They want a lot of games last year. The Celtics were two seed, one a lot of games. Yep. The next are the NBA champions, the calves, good team, LeBron didn't pick 'em. Raptors got quiet, Hawks got better, sixers got better, he got better. Yep. A lot of good teams.

Right. A lot of good teams. A lot of good teams. East is, I think, nobody knows what's

going to happen in the east next year. Okay. Mixer returning champions, who knows what the pace is going to look like with Halibut and coming back. There's a lot of questions. I think that's totally fair to ask that question about the east. It does feel like there's going to be at least one good team that we have very high expectations for that doesn't make the playoffs this year. Mm-hm. And that could be, it could be, it could be the wisdom. It was, it could be the hornets.

Yeah. It could be the wizards. It could be, you know, any of these great teams. Like the heat. Yeah. The wizards are currently plus three-ten to make the playoffs next year according to draft King's Wordsbook. I love it. Okay. I love it. I love it. Now, it's not ideal for what I think could be a very fun up and coming team. I do think that the, the sixers will probably reach out and at least make a phone call about Anthony Davis. Mm-hm. I also think offsetting some of that

will be the fact that me and Max are going to get to go a set court side when the 70 sectors come to DC. Yeah. And that's that's going to be a good time. I'll be sick. Like an awesome time.

Um, the second one was, um, is there a, or you nervous at all for the fact that

Josh Harris has two teams. Yep. I think he still has the devil's two, right? It's three teams.

He might have a favorite. So this is, this is the exact opposite of what everybody in Philadelphia has been saying for the last two years. Right. That. But now I commend it when, when the bronze on the team now, now his favorite might switch. No, see, I think they're going to make him a lot of money now. I think that, uh, I think it's a mark of a great owner that LeBron trusted the end of his career. Okay. With a businessman like Josh Harris and a good owner

like Josh Harris. Okay. But like is there a chance like there, you know, he's at, he's at a commander's game. He's checking the scores of the sixers seeing what LeBron's doing. I mean, his sports guy. Yeah, I, I think that's fine. I also think more could be the other way. Could be at a sixers game checking the commander's score. I think there's a good chance that he won't really care that much about the sixers during football season and then after football season. The spotlight's going to be on.

It's good, the schedule, the NBA schedule is going to be just shockful of sixers. He did hold this. It's going to be in. Yeah. I'm thinking about canceling League Pass. Yeah, because you're going to get every day every game. You're going to be, you don't need to know. Yeah. Uh, now big cap back to the

first question that you asked there, I did think about that this weekend about the fact that

the East got so much better. He's just awesome. He's the most fun. That's more fun than the West. Including the Wizards got a lot better too. True. That's the fact. The Wizards did get a lot better than the softsies. Um, I just put what? What? What? Well, they were the worst team in the league. So yeah, they got, they got a lot better. Yeah, they got a lot better. They had to get what did I lie? No. Okay. I did just, I just got the El Camino back from the shop on Thursday.

When I say that I put a lot of money into fixing the El Camino, I could have bought an entire new El Camino for what I ended up just paying for this. Which you might have to do. And I going into the summer when I made that better against Hank, it was no big deal if I lost. Now, because I spent all this money in all this time, it does. It is going to sting a little bit more and if I have to give Hank the car. And like it seems like every move has just been like

an East team has gotten better. Every, every team in the East has pretty much gotten better. I guess well, you could say the pistons, I don't know if they got better. No. But they did win the East. That's the thing is like, even the teams that didn't necessarily get better, they were good teams last year. Yeah. Um, the box got worse, the calves, but the heat got better. I think the calves by vibes overall vibes got worse. Yeah. I don't understand too. I listen, calves fans like

LeBron just, he just shit on you again. It's crazy. He shit on you again. Yeah. I get it. He wants to be on the best basketball team in this six or the best basketball team. But like, come on. You can't, you can't. He did it again. Max, who gets the last shot. And beat will have the or keep saying it being LeBron will have the ball and find the right

man to take the last shot. That's how that's how last shot will go. So LeBron's just taking

over the entire team. It's LeBron. It's LeBron team. Okay. All right. It's LeBron team.

LeBron.

champion ship, you'll boo whoever's team it is. Which would be, I haven't booed. He's not ready

for this. He's not what you can say. He's going to ask you about the boo. You keep talking about this, this fantasy land of when they lose, I'm thinking about winning right now. You guys are thinking about losing. But every season goes up and down. Yeah. We're not booing in the regular season. Okay. Unless it's the Eagles. Eagles you booing in the regular. But okay. Then there could be crossover boo though. Like if the city is upset, the Eagles don't play. That's fair. Then you

know that the fans, they're going to go to six or games. They're going to be way easier at the

hair trigger to boo. I'm ready to boo the Phillies right now. Okay. See that's what I'm saying. It's

like you got. Yeah. I don't want that that feels like that might be you're going to misdirect

your boo. I think you almost need to have a sit down with LeBron and be like, hey, we appreciate

you coming to Philadelphia. Just so you know, this is how it might go. Right. There's tough times. When we boo you, I don't want you to take it personally LeBron. That's just what we do. Mm-hmm. Because I feel like LeBron, he will. He listens to everything. Yeah. Zack. Are the six or another biggest team in Philadelphia? No. Eagles. Eagles. Sports. Sports. And so it's put LeBron. I'm going to let's have Bron play his tie then for the birds. Which, is he going to

live in Philadelphia? I think he is going to, James reported he, I think he's going to live in New York and helicopter to Philly as this commute. Uh-oh. Is that a problem? No, no, no, I just said, I said, oh, that's what you said. You said, oh. Yeah. Um, JJ reticked that. He didn't helicopter. He did sometimes when he would come back, but he lived across street for me. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Just like for a personal standpoint, that's what they talked about that.

Yeah. You hate JJ. You do hate JJ. That doesn't seem like a fun way to live to like, to work in a different city and then have to commute there every 40 minutes. It's like a very normal commute. Yeah. And he would just, the scheduling like he, because like you're also on the road haven't time. Is it just another example of a wealthy person in New York that has a job that goes down to Philadelphia for all the six or games? Yeah. Are you worried about in series against

New York? I know. I don't know what's worse though. You need the white boy ricks and Bron sections of the world to like bolster your defense. Like, I don't know what's worse though, because then if the next can, next fans can't get in there, then that whole argument I had was just yeah. This is also going to be very interesting season for the Nick rights of the world. We're going to be forced to defend the Philadelphia 76ers while probably at the same time

denigrating the Philadelphia Eagles. So you have to be prepared to like, when also it's like to

I think I think what's going to end up happening. No, I'm being honest here. This is the real take. I think what's going to end up happening in the only person who this move is, I don't want

to say bad for, but the pressure has gone to a billion is your own beat. Because if they don't

perform, it will be his, he will get all the blame in no one else. And he is the only like think about it. Like Maxie's young guy, VGA comes a young guy, Jill and Brown's one title, LeBron's one titles. It's like that he is the guy. He has to, he will get the the inordinate amount of blame for anything that goes bad for the sixers. And he won't get a lot of the the praise who will go to LeBron. That's part of playing with LeBron. Oh, you got to see it out. That is part of playing with

LeBron. But you got to see how it plays out. Oh, I've we've seen how it played out. But if if it would be dropped 40 in it and it finals to win, win a game, he's going to like Kyrie. Yeah. Yeah. Who's seen was that? Kyrie Brown, right? It's too. Yeah, I know, but that's LeBron seen me. Or he can Kevin love put the clamps on Steph Curry. Yeah. Yeah. We know how close. But Maxie, you know that you can't deny would be catch a said. Correct. That that what LeBron does on the

pressure. Because the spotlight is so big on LeBron, no matter what happens, it will be looked at. And deservedly so. Yeah. He's got the he's got the 10 years of being the the face of the NBA and the guy. No, that's I mean, it's absolutely right because it is weird that an inbeat hasn't said anything. Yeah. Well, he hasn't said anything about anything. He doesn't he doesn't talk about basketball publicly anymore. Well, I mean in a situation. This isn't about basketball.

He had a two hour meeting with LeBron a month ago about something about him coming to Philadelphia and how his health and that was a big factor of why LeBron wanted to come here. Do you have those NBA convinced him that he felt like he was healthy to have a long NBA season this year? Most healthy offices he's had in three years. Do you actually in that report he actually said it's his most healthy offseason ever? Ever. Yeah. So he actually is doing the best shape of my life.

It's right now.

Pure muscle. I love that. Do you have a backup coach in mind for when LeBron inevitably

starts to turn on Nick nurse? Hmm. Good question, P.F. That. He's a clutch guy. Nick nurses a clutch guy.

Good question, P.F. T. Okay. So there's no accountability then. Nick nurses a clutch guy.

So he'll never be fired. Kumbaya. Kumbaya. Okay. Because that is one of LeBron's moves. Yeah.

But he's a clutch guy. But he's I don't think he's LeBron's guy. He's a clutch. That literally means the clutch guy. Yeah. That means he's a rich Paul's guy. But if you're a rich Paul's guy, you're LeBron's guy. Rich Paul is LeBron's. Yeah. Has there ever been a coach that was a clutch guy that has been fired that LeBron's played under? It's a genuine question. I don't know. I don't I don't know that answer. I feel like Hank is not taking enough of like he's just he's just

made. And what you're telling the story about how you made the team and what you made the team. Yeah. Create the team. But what if like what if Brad Stevens knows like he knows Jill and Brown may have been you know getting his head might have been getting a little inflated. He wanted to be a star and he knew that if you trade him to the six years LeBron would go to the six years which would just implode the team. Mm-hmm. It's a 40 chess. Did you see Jason's

hit him took a shot at Jill and Brown? I did. I think that is a trouble in paradise? No, because

they're not in the same team anymore. They kept it. They were they were good teammates and projected like so do you want to call each other for what? For every time that we said there might be something there and you're like no, well that's also the media like who knows that that was about Jill and Brown. He said I he said I don't want to be the smartest person in the room.

hasn't Jill and Brown said these always the smartest person in the room? Yeah. But that does don't

have to be related things. But he said that he he just got done being with somebody who is a smart person in the room. Yeah. He said I don't want to be around that person. Being around somebody it feels like they know it all. I don't want to be around that person. I don't want to be the smartest person in the room. I want to learn from somebody else. I think that's trouble in paradise. No, that's that's a good lesson for the kids. He was teaching at a kids basketball camp. He was trying to teach

like humility. When James Harden was like Daromori is a lie. I will never play. I will be. I repeat. Let me say it again. Daromori is a liar. Just looked up. I forgot about this. Tai Lou. He was the coach for the cabs. clutch guy got fired. I think six games into the season after a six game losing three at the start of the year. I want to championship. Okay. I'll take that. Okay. James, you were bused. I would love for Nick Nurse to get fired. Six

games after a losing streak. That's what he was saying. Yeah. Okay. All right. One other story. So he congrats Max. I'm just exciting. I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited. Yeah. He wants to got a lot more exciting. I want to tell the story of how he found out and what happened. Yeah. I was thank God. Max. I was golfing Friday morning. Max was supposed to be there. He had to

cancel, which honestly made my day because I would have been the worst way to find out either work.

Oh, great. You had to work. Yeah. I also had to work. I was back at work in the afternoon. I found out as I was driving to my second shot. I had to drive in the fairway. I'm driving to my second shot. Saw the alert. Had about a minute to process it and then I was trying to, you know, walk back in and I hit my second shot quite literally sideways. Like impossibly sideways. I might went backwards. And I was right. I mean, I was I was rattled. I had I've had to come to grips with it

and try and, you know, spins on this in my mind to be a good thing. It is scary. You know, two years ago, we were NBA champions to talk to the town. Now the next of one and the sixers have like, I forgot. I forgot the next one. The most bat team in the world. But it's next sixers. They're going to have to battle it out and where it's going to be the scrappy underdog, you know, people that no one's thinking about that we can just make a run in the playoffs.

And I, the Celtics currently have the third best odds to win the E.s. According to draft kings. Okay. Who's one in two? Yep. Let's act like they're. That's the winner of the scrappy underdogs right now. Well, no one knows how it's talking. Wilson. If, if, if, if, if two teams get the bronze to stop kill Wilson. If two teams have better odds, that would make the third team the underdog correct. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Yeah. No, I'm, I

think. But you're acting like you're a 16 seed over here. Like we're underdog. The three factor fiction factor fiction is it's scrappy underdogs. Sure. Yeah. No one's talking about them. Max, you got to get used to championship or positive. He's not used to. He can't handle it. You

want to be the scrappy underdog. You've never been an overdog before. Yeah. I've been an overdog.

Okay. So, so the rest of the round, how to go? I had like two axes on the scorecard. I, I loved that for 16 holes to come to work. It was, it was, I, I, I, I mentally was, was checked out.

You caused this.

might seem crazy. He might seem like he completely botched this entire situation, gave the

six orders jail and Brown and LeBron for nothing. Took on Paul George's bad contract. But I trust him. I trust him. I trust Mozilla. I trust our young core, Sharman. Sharman Hugo. And you're getting a new car. And I'm getting a new car. I get a new car. It's, it means, what's, what's, what's with the wizard tape? See, this is what it, it's all about. Like, I, I,

I told you, I think about it. I told you, I know it's sad. I told you a month ago,

get ready for the new rivalry in the NBA. It's going to be the Wizards against the next, because the training young factor means that I was crazy. Now look at them. Rent free. They can't, yeah. Rent free. It means, which I was getting there. Hank, we've played the championship of Boston like Max having to deal with booing LeBron and all that. What happens if the Sixers do when a championship? I cannot think about that. I won't think about it now.

We made Max think about the other thing. Think about it. If the Sixers win the NBA championship with LeBron. Yeah. Max is about to come. I, yeah. I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't think about what that will do. What that, what that summer will be like, what that playoff run will be like. Oh, the commercials with LeBron next to the, the Rocky style. I mean, it will, it will crush me, because that will be, you know, 16 games of pure hate watching and probably whatever, like 25 games

of pure hate watching for them to come through all that and win the championship. Oh, it would break me. It's going to be, so it's championship or bust for Max. It's bust or bust for you. Like, you need Max retired. Now it's retired. Well, bro. You need Max to bust. No, sounds like it's championship or something. We can be, or no, buster, buster, buster, buster, buster. That's the David Caridine special. Yeah. Okay. We can retire. That one up. That was a good joke. You got one up. You got

- We've got to go to the record. - Or beat the next. - Or beat the next. - Or how the wizards just suck. - I got a little, I got a little.

- 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, 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, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, - Oh no, no, no, no, no. - That doesn't matter. - The sikters rid it all in the wizard sucked. You still are. - That won't give you any joy. - That's nothing. - You'll drive the elk coming off a bridge. - Goddamn it, the playoffs are actually my people, what I do.

- Wow. - Wow. - I'd hate to see you go. - Hey, this is, is there a part of you too? Because we had to take these out of Friday and we talked about how you, you want to take you for all your losses. And we're like, this is where it turns for you. Because you finally won something. And then immediately after the LeBron went to Philadelphia. - Yeah, someone, someone in one of the comments section said like it was that it's the summer of Max leading into the fall tank, creating the fall tank.

- Wow. - Which I hope that means like, it's gonna be a good fall, but... - No, I think they're talking about the fall of your empire. - Yeah.

- Yeah, I think it, I don't know, it has it been the summer of Max? I mean, he got married four times. - Yeah. - He's had a good time for Swiss. - Yeah, just two times. - Because that's kind of encroaching on the summer of memes. - No, we don't, why would it be the summer of... - We're not acknowledging that. - Why would it be the summer of memes? - Because the judge got better. - Oh. But what did he win? - I don't know. - Did you guys have Spain in that case? - King, yeah, King's come. - Oh, yeah, King's come. - We can say, yeah, yeah.

- But outside of that, I mean, yeah, that's a beautiful, cyclical nature of the show is the second one person starts to feel really good. - Reality comes on. - In comes LeBron. - Yeah. - Throughout that one guy who had the is the Bronis six or yet from any updated in his last street was July 1st, 2018. - Yeah.

- It's a knowing never will be now time to deactivate, whole, whatever it is, eight years later, insane.

- It's crazy that he's a six year. I did not think that was going to happen. I thought it was Kaz. I thought it was he. I thought there was no chance.

- I'm pretty sure we put our reputation on the line. It's a podcast for like the 75th time. So that's tarnished again. - I think we did it for both the Cavs.

- Also, yeah, at least that got to happen. - Yeah, exactly. - Oh, yeah, exactly. - Talk is what happened. Because your one job was to tweet, I think today is the day that LeBron signs every single day until he signed. - I think, I mean, as I'm new to the insider game, it's a tough game. I got the right team. Just wasn't the first guy to break it. - Okay. So when did you break it? I broke it. If we're doing central time to Eastern time, I think I might have broken it before some of the guys who broke it on the east.

- Okay. - But I broke it roughly 45 minutes before the best guy. - Got it. Got it. Okay. So we've done the same calendar hour. - I will say that you broke it before Marlon's man, because he texted me about two hours later saying LeBron's LeBron to the Sixers. - He's not covered the insider game. - No, he's not. He's not ready to be an insider. That's for sure. - Okay, should we do? Who's back the week? We'll cover some more sports stuff and who's back the week? I'm sure we all have a lot. - Yeah. - It is brought to you by our friends at SimplySafe. In the US, there's a break in every 26 seconds.

Yeah, who's back BAC? Yeah, who's back BAC? Here we go, Jim. He got arrested on Friday for an O-W-I in Milwaukee. He was competing in the Wisconsin amateur tournament after golf tournament.

I think he was 35 over after four rounds. Yep. Don't know if those two things are related, but which came first. He was like there was kind of a creepy creepy mugshot too.

What I mean, Wisconsin is kind of like a badge honor. So like to get your first, you know, they cut your tie. They thank you for sale. They created an entire new level of DUI for beginners, right, for first timers and Wisconsin. Yeah, that's crazy. It's just a fine. So the O-W-I in Wisconsin is like Fisher Price, my first DUI. Yeah, you just like, hey, you got to give us like 300 bucks. And don't do it again. Yeah, it's pretty much a boys will be boys. That's crazy. Yeah, it's not. It makes a drink. The old gunslinger added again. Yeah, shots a bullet. I saw that he withdrew from this week's celebrity golf tournament though.

It's like when you, uh, if you win the, the open championship, yeah, you golf, you withdraw from the next one, because you're ready to take it. Yeah, celebrating. If you get an O-W-I in Wisconsin, you need to do a victory lap, I guess.

I'll say this, spin zone, uh, good job Tony Romo coming on PMT and being super likable with us because we're probably taking a little easy on you. Yeah, we're just making jokes. Yeah, like I do like Tony Romo. So shouldn't drink a drive. Don't do that or operate bad idea. All right, just get an Uber. But yeah, it's a fine. Just a fun. Yeah, just a fun. Just a fun. Okay. You got any other newsbacks? No others. Okay. All things considered like if you compare popular color analysts in football, former quarterbacks, getting arrested this year for alcohol related offenses, this one doesn't seem that bad.

Who else? Wait, what am I missing? Popular. Oh, wait. Sanchez. Sanchez. Yeah. I forgot that he was, that's like the next championship. It's like, don't even sleep in half completely forget about it. So you got to take the good of that means just doing the Arthur beam right now. He's just, oh, he's fucking guys. Do you think he's going to be like, is there any sort of discipline that CBS is going to put down? Well, it's just a fine not a felony then. Yeah. Probably not. Yeah. I don't, I don't think so.

Uh, I'll also say, um, we did learn about this right away. I'm like Kyle Shanahan, which that was weird. I'm happy Kyle Shanahan's okay. Yeah. Yeah. That was crazy. I had nothing to do with like the UI or anything, but he got in a car crash two weeks ago and has like really bad injuries and we just learned about it on the first day of training. They said severe concussion. Yeah. Which is crazy. Like he might have been knocked out. I guess that would be a severe concussion. Yeah. So he went to the hospital, broke ribs on July 14th. So he was like, 10, 8, 11 days ago. And now he won't, he won't be able to coach the team at the start of training camp at least. So Chris Forester, you might remember him. Oh, yeah.

From a few years ago. Oh, yeah. Was, was, would Frank to tank say? I don't remember.

Was it Joe? Okay. Do you remember his job? Yeah. I don't remember. Frank to tank at a banger. Chris Forester had some nice videos. I think it was, uh, he was a, uh, a line coach. Yep. And now he's coaching lines.

Mm-hmm. I think like the tank joke. Yeah. But that was a weird story. It was very strange. Yeah.

Like that it just never, and it felt like some of the reporters might have known, but didn't report on it. I don't know.

I saw one reporter say that they, they found out that he would not be coaching the team a few days ago, but they didn't know why. They could take it to educated guests that something happened. I hope he's okay. They didn't know why. I hope he's okay too. That sounds like it was pretty scary. Um, yeah, it's, it is strange though that nothing got put out. Usually if something like that happens to a head coach, one where another people will find out.

People will, will leak that news somehow. Yep. Not to say that like it's a good thing that it always gets leaked.

But it is pretty common. I would say it would be uncommon for something like this to happen.

Mm-hmm.

So back. This is, this Monday show will be the last Monday show that we have where we can't discuss any on the field football until after Super Bowl.

Love it. How about that? Love it. Football is officially back. Love it. I'm, I'm just excited reading every storyline coming out of training camp, which guys are on the pop list. The most meaningless reports that come out of any training camp. I am addicted to reading all that I'm very excited. Patrick Holmes's back. Patrick Holmes's back. That's one of the, yeah, one of the stories. He was knee looks great.

What do you mean being sarcastic? His left knee is, oh, I mean, we're having an injury. That's what happens, but what happened?

The size difference of his left leg in the right is somewhat concerning. That was sarcastic. Yeah. That's very, that's very interesting. It's a little smaller than it was. It'll get back.

I'm going to look up his knee. Yeah, but football's back. So there was the Mahomes thing. Brandon, I used to spot a house in Northern Virginia for $10 million.

Pretty normal stuff. Okay. Pretty normal place to invest in real estate for a guy that can definitely afford to spend $10 million in a house that he doesn't live in across the country. That he has no connection to. Somebody check on Brandon and Luke. Yeah. Does he have anybody in his life that can, like, look after him? I'm, I'm actually worried about the guy. I, yeah. I mean, he's, it's, it's very bizarre what he's doing. He's, he's not, he's in a bad spot. He's a bad spot mentally. I don't know that he's, he's got any friends or any teammates that can reach out to him. It doesn't sound like he does.

Sounds like he's going through a very kind of self destructive time right now. Very, very strange for him to spend $10 million on a house because it's located right next to my mom. Yeah. He's essentially living next door to my mom. So mostly I'm just worried about my mom because she does use those roads. She drives on those same roads. Yeah. So if, if somebody could just keep an eye on Brandon and Luke make sure he isn't crash a car into my mom, that would be awesome. Yeah. Someone, someone make sure you're on that. Yeah. It is very bizarre.

Okay. My who's back week football related acronyms. Did you guys see my former coach, Matt Nagy has a new acronym.

And I think he doesn't even realize it, but his acronym is physical tough smart detailed PTSD PTSD.

And now, where did you see this acronym? He did, it was, it was some meeting in April where he didn't say the acronym,

but he was like, here's what he put it up on the big board. Yeah. He's like, here's what we're going to be boys. We're going to be physical tough smart detailed.

Oh my god. Yeah. We can't see this computer, Max. You never set it up. You're thinking too much about championship or post. I liked that. Also, I, I did not see this part about it, but in that same, it might have been the same video that came out. That was the John Harbaugh. Yeah, motivational speech that he gave to the giants where he just kept looking around the room saying the New York football giants watching that. It was pretty odd. I'm not going to, I'm not going to judge Harbaugh too harshly on this because it was pretty clear that he forgot that he was supposed to use speech that day.

Mm-hmm. And he just got up in front of the room and started just saying what he was looking at. Yeah. He's like, we got the vets in the back of the room. Well, it's also fun to say New York football giants. It is. It's Chris permit. We got the coaches over here. He was just narrating what he saw in the room at the time. And just kind of hoping that he was going to land that plane. We got navy over here. He's got PTSD. Again, it doesn't really, it's not like he's, you know, after Cody Parker did the double doing.

He had nine kickers try out all from the 43 yard line. So he doesn't have any of that. No, definitely not. It's not a, it's not an issue. All right, my other who's back. Who's back is a PCA just the MVP. I just want to say PCA should be the MVP show. He's not pitching as of right now. And PCA just continues to be a joy to watch. And absolute, every night, it's the appointment television to watch.

P. Crohn, Sean Play baseball. And my last Tuesday's back is Zach. Because you got to tell us the story. You were going to tell us we didn't do a fire fest during the take. Please tell us the story. Oh, my, my, he's back. I guess, yeah, time travel because we did want to talk about Friday on Monday. Yeah, uh, not not too much. It wasn't, it may have gotten blown out of proportion.

We went to a, went to a boat movie the other day. We're watching a movie on a boat movie on a boat on a boat. Mutiny great movie. Great thing. A lot of action. Pretty immersive because we got like real boat horns going helicopter's going quickly before Zach finishes.

We, we the movie ended out in San Francisco. It was a good movie. And I was like, Zach, what?

What does that make your year long movie total now? And he said one. Oh, good job. Yeah, I felt like I was a strong way to get into the movie game. Yeah, yeah, I'm both one and done best movie of the year. Best movie I seen this year. Yeah. Love that certainly. Okay. See, that was like, it was like pretty social like watching the movie. Eat some popcorn. They had great caramel cheddar mix. I brought a couple of them. Those were banging.

But uh, it was like some drinks as well, socially. So I, oh, I do you were having some social drinks.

I had a couple of social drinks to socialize.

Boats are a little tricky with the, uh, with the current going boat drink. Not to be slept on kind of like an airplane beer.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But uh, see, the at sea beers got caught up with me a little bit. So after the boat, I was like, all right, maybe I just do a couple drinks on the way home because the boat beers were fun. Yeah. So went normal. Got some frozen drinks as, as men do their, it was alone. So they're tasty. I just lean into the frozen.

I love that answer to anyone. When you say frozen drinks, what kind of frozen drinks are we talking about?

Tacarise. So the one was like, uh, like a, a mint citrus situation. And the other one was just run the bowl. Uh, yeah, you know that Jack and Pepsi combo with the frozen as well. Very good. Very tasty. Okay. And this is by yourself. Yeah. It just, because, yes. Okay. It was. Where you still on the boat for these drinks? Now it's off the boat for these. He's run the way home. Okay. So you did like a bar crawl on the way back.

Yeah. Quick a little bar crawl on the way back. And then I get to the apartment. I'm like, you know how you, in this evening. Taco Bell hit Taco Bell. That was delicious. And then. Eight to tacos went Lucy pouch as one does after meal. And like, you know, it goes great with Lucy pouch die Pepsi. Mm-hmm. I just was in bed. One sip of Pepsi fell asleep woke up twenty frowns as a Pepsi just all of a sudden. You fell asleep, did sip? I got one because the combo is so good.

Of the pouch and the Pepsi after a meal. And now she out. The guys who get it get it. Yeah. So did you wake up from the, the actual spillage or was it already spilled? And when you opened your eyes, you were just wet. I cracked that thing past out woke up. Kind of looked at my comforter like, what? What is this? What time was it? Boring time. Like, oh, so you slept all the way through. I we went to this interview. My sheets were still soiled. Okay. So you woke up and it was like the, your drink was on the floor somewhere.

And you just had brown sheet. My phone was wet. And I look and my, did somebody shit this bed. And I check and like, no, this is Pepsi. Oh, I was just sticky. And then I was in here. Yeah. And I don't really do the best waking up with too much time before we get here. So then I'm in here, sticky. Oh, you didn't shower? I like, like, you know, like the whole bath, like the, like the wipes. Yeah. I didn't have time. Okay. Damn, yeah. That's tough. That's brutal. And I think I want to be okay, but there's on the way home from the bar. I found a nightclub.

Never been there before. You guys check out great time. I think we could go as a team would be good.

Yeah. Yeah. So I think that's what did I think nightclub did it. That's awesome, Zack.

All right. You have another who's back? Now who's back the week? Also, uh, my grave, because my grave may have used a dog as a shield. Oh, yeah. The human shield. Yeah. Yeah. I thought that was a class. This is Mark PR 101. Yeah. It is actually a genius move. Classy move. Yeah. The dog had a jersey on the trying to save dogs. I was trying to save dogs. We're, we're all pros saving dogs. That's a fact.

And that's, that's what he was trying to do. It's bringing awareness. 100%. Well, it's on him bringing the dog maybe not an armed size dog in an armed size dog position. I think so so much. So he's, yeah, he's a man. All right. So double who's back where it might be a beast. Thoughts on maybe, maybe it's my variable. Maybe it's someone else, but like why aren't we taking this further? Like why wouldn't a coach coach with the dog at their hands? Pops on the sidelines. Yeah. Like you can't get that upset if you see it.

It's going to be like Mike McCarthy's dumb face when he's trying to figure out what just happened, but there's a weiner dog under his arm. Or yeah, if he had a, that would be a great visual. If he had a pug that was like sitting on his shoulder. Yeah. Like, like, hugging like a parrot. Yeah. Good funny ditch analytics leaning the dots in saying that game time decisions based on peanut butter on playbook. Yeah. Yeah. There we go. I feel like Andy Reed would have maybe a Australian shepherd, like a really smart, maybe border colleague, really smart dog.

Look at it in the dog would go. I think Andy Reed might be sneaky. Tiny dog. He could be a tiny dog.

It's funny if he had a tiny dog. Yeah. He's recliner with him. Yeah. But this is a good idea. Like this should be something, it would be hard to be mad at a coach like big moment they zoom in. And he's just got the cutest puppy in his arms. And he's just petting it as like sympathy for himself. Yeah, my favorite part of this was just how train how transparent the thing that Mike Freable was doing.

It's so transport. So that is first time talking to the media. That is, that is, it's hilarious.

I love it. Yeah. He put a dog in a jersey too. It's like everyone's like, Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good, good play. You think it's a juice situation? You think that's really his dog? Oh, I don't know. I don't know. A juice. Oh, do we think that's his dog?

We've, well, we confirmed. Well, Kevin, that's confirmed. Kevin's dog. Yeah. I'm just keeping dog speculations online. I don't know. I feel like this way they start. No, I think that this is, this is dog that you too could adopt. And it's like actually, variable just saved the life in that press conference.

Mm-hmm.

Good who's back?

Any other sports stories that we missed?

Oh, yeah. The biggest sports story of the day. What? Holly Rose and your mobile? That was so fun. Um, no.

Our long national light mayors. Oh, yeah. Jacobie Perset has agreed to a contract with the Arizona card. We should have led with the show. So he'll be back. That's, thank God. That's over.

Um, you talk about just a giant albatross hanging around the neck of an organization. Perset's back. Now, people might hate on Perset. I think he had the highest amount of yards per game of any quarterback in the NFL last year. Mm-hmm.

That's how bad the cardinals were for the first three quarters.

Yeah. That his garbage time was good enough to lead the league. Yeah. So good job, Jacobie Perset. You, you knew your worth and you got your worth.

It turns out he was right. Yeah. Like they did end up paying him. So also tough day for Carson back. Who's operating as if he was going to be the starter.

You get there. Yeah. Maybe we'll have a chance. He might. We'll have a chance.

Also the USA today. The, the, who's back the week is just everyone still losing their mind about Caitlin Clarks. Because we had the one on Friday. Yeah.

The article basically blaming our for all racism.

And then USA today just wrote a story just being like Caitlin Clark missed the, the orange carpet for WMB also game to get a haircut in her hometown. Turns out she was actually going to a charity event that she ran in her hometown. People are incapable. She's destroyed more brains in this country than cocaine.

It's not like she is. It's impossible to have any rational take online about Caitlin Clark anymore. It's absolutely not. Okay. Let the heck also.

Yeah. The red socks might be back. Yeah. Hot stove. They'd been back.

You know about the trade to tell. So you guys trade with the nationals. You got Curtis Mead or Australian guy. We got to left the arm from you guys. You're not excited about Curtis Mead.

We're pires. Yeah, we're buying. Also also selling at the same time. You traded. We're making moves.

You are making moves. I hate that guy's name. Which guy? Connally early. Connally early.

His name should be Connor. Not Connally. I don't understand. That's not a first name. Connally.

Might be a family name. Connally early. But I think with early too. It's like, I just want to say Connor early. Connor early is a good name.

Yeah. I'll give you that. Yeah. Curtis Mead. You're going to like him, Hank.

That was my take on it. Curtis. Okay. Let's get to our interview. We got Patrick Kane in studio.

And then afterwards we could do our Mount Rushmore of Fuji with a spoof. Before we get to Patrick Kane, he's brought to you by performance golf. New sponsor alert. A sponsor. We've all been there.

You have a rough day off the tee. And your buddy who literally just shot a 98 last week and drives up in a scurry says, Hey, man, you're lifting your head. Don't listen to that guy. He doesn't know.

Honestly, you probably don't even know. Stop guessing what's wrong with your swing.

That's why we are officially partnering with performance golf.

They're fixing our swings. We want everybody listening out there to get a fix. You can do it right now through the PG1 app. Check it out. So this is true story.

They were out in Tahoe. Hank and I went out. Got our swing evaluated. The guy gave me one tip. Precisely one tip.

I incorporated that one tip. The last two rounds that I've played have been the best rounds of my entire life. Shot 88 last week. Followed that up with a played nine holes with Jersey Jerry on Saturday. Shot a 42.

I'm feeling good about my game because of this one tip that I got from the people that performance golf. And I saw it in the app as well. Hank, they also gave you some good advice about your swing. I've been using that app as unbelievable.

The swing analysis, the way they break down your swing and then give you instant tips, drills, and things to work on to improve your swing. It's the best app going. Yeah, they've got that. The feature is called swing scan.

So you take a quick video of your swing on your phone. The app will instantly diagnose the root swing flaw. And then it gives you drills that you need to fix it. It's like having a world class coach right there in your pocket. You don't have the Country Club price tag that goes along with it though.

So it is, I've gotten, it's been worth it so far for me.

It is absolutely taking my game and made it a little bit better. I'm getting ready for the internet invitation. And he little bit helps. I feel like I'm playing the best golf in my life going into it. Thanks to performance golf.

So right now, if you are a part of my take listener, you can get seven days of PG1 completely free. Go to performance golfzone.com. Download the app.

Fix your swing before you're next round. Never guess again.

And Patrick Keynes also brought to you by our great friends over at Chevy. Chevy is the best summers and full swing. That means no schedules, no plans, just more the good stuff. Silverado makes that possible. There's a reason why Chevy's called the heartbeat of America.

Silverado keeps that heartbeat strong. These trucks work hard so you can chill harder. Whether that's getting out of town, going to the lake. Or just not turning around when you probably should. The Silverado's got the capability, the space, and the muscle.

Everything that you need for a proper summer. Coolers gear, whatever your version of chill looks like.

Chevy's the one that can make it all happen.

Because at the end of the day, Silverado hopes you tackle more of what you love. And let's be honest, you've earned this summer. Now it's time to go get it. So roll the windows down, turn the music up, and just listen. That's the heartbeat of America.

That's today's Chevrolet. Head over to Chevy.com to learn more. And now here's Patrick Keynes. Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest. It is three times Stanley Cup Champion.

And now back on the black hoax, Patrick Keynes. In person, in studio.

Cainer, first of all, thank you for everyone.

Thank you and Chicago. Thank you. Because that was like, I feel like you guys played a big role in it. You know what the ice cream offered. The ice cream.

Yeah, so your son's going to have to get some ice cream. You too, I'll just give you a key card to the office. And you can come in whatever. So thank you for residing with the black hoax. I mean, so this is, we're taping this on Friday afternoon.

We're going to run it on Monday. It's been like 24 hours. What is the last 24 hours?

Did you have the wave of emotions that every fan had?

I mean, I feel like, you know, what have been Wednesday night. We kind of finalized a contract and I signed it. And then, you know, I didn't really know when that it was going to be announced. So I woke up early, went to the gym. Like it was after the gym was on my way to the skate.

And it must have just been announced. Like, rate as I was driving to the skate. And, you know, I walk into the locker, whatever. And, you know, everyone's just like congratulated me or whatever. All my equipment's changed out.

Like no more red wings pants, no more red wings. Yeah, stickers on the helmet. Like, I'd change everything over the black Hawks pants, black Hawks jersey, black Hawks helmet. And then, you know, after that, you can kind of just feel the buzz, you know, throughout the city, and definitely through like social media things like that, right?

So, but I tell you what, Chicago fans are like, they're incredible.

Like, I feel like ever since I started here, they've, you know, had my back. They've been, you know, huge fans. I mean, you guys chief as well. I feel like it's been incredible to support from the people in Chicago. So, you know, and that plays a factor too, I think.

Just, no one that you're loved by the city. And the people here is, it's such a great feeling. So, I mean, obviously, I come back here for the summer and things. But to be back. But to be back.

Yeah. So, it's, uh, to be a black Hawking, and it's just incredible feeling. All right, so you saw this. But I was driving into work this morning, and there was a giant billboard over the highway. And it said, Interstate 90, welcome's back came.

Really? I didn't see that one. It said, we miss you.

Did you miss the highway?

Yeah. He's a miss. He literally was a welcome back.

I think I've been more angry at the highway than maybe I missed it.

Yeah. Um, no, I mean, like, I, someone sent me a picture that I was like at Rigglyfield. You know, yesterday, welcome back, number 88. Yeah. Things like that.

Like that's, that's unbelievable. Yeah. Think about Rigglyfield. It's such a big venue, you know, iconic historic place. And something like that is up there for, for, you know, just coming back and signing a contract.

It's, it's unbelievable. You can feel it. So, so my, my question that I saved when I saw you at the front door. And I want to save it for the show. Did you listen to old thing back at all yesterday?

What's that? The old thing back, or I want the old thing back, the song from the 2015 team. Because I listen to it probably 20 times. What's the song? You know, you know, you know, the song?

You know, the song? Yeah. You guys played in the locker room every single time. Yeah, I got a big, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got, I know what you're saying.

I've got the slew of teeth.

I haven't listened to that one, but, um, what did I listen to?

Oh, do you remember, I'll wake me up by a V.C. Yeah. That was, uh, that was like our 2013 song. Yeah. That was, uh, okay.

That was, um, good vibes with that one too. But, yeah, I feel like all those, uh, all those, uh, Stanley Cup runs have, like, a certain song that's kind of, yeah, correlated with that, with that time, you know, so, uh, Yeah, I mean, it's a lot of, I listen to the wrong song. I fucked up. Honestly, we were, you know, my buddies were actually, yeah, we were looking through, like, I had a playlist on my phone, like,

2015 Stanley Cup and just listening, listening to, like, those songs again. It just, it brings you back to memories. Yeah. Uh, uh, like, I remember being in the limo bus, like, going to Jimmy Buffett, and we're listening to, like, total opposite music. Yeah, Jimmy Buffett.

Yeah, Jimmy Buffett. Yeah, and then we go to Jimmy Buffett. Have a great time. Come back. And then we're going to, like, Paris Club to hang out with T.S. doughing.

Yeah. It was just, like, like, you didn't even realize back in the day, like, how lucky you were. And how great those, um, those times were, so hopefully we can, we can recreate something like that.

Well, that's the thing I was going to ask is, like, you know, obviously there...

I think everyone wanted to see you back in a black hoax jersey. Especially, you know, I was there the night that you came back with the red wings and they had the video. And actually, let's start with that. Was there, because I felt like that was like a different emotion than you've ever shown, where it was like, the being there in, in, it was Chelios Knight and you get this video tribute.

And I think the standing ovation was like 10 minutes long.

I told you the story of my, it was my son's first ever black hoax game.

And going to the, to the, to the UC, I told him like, this is the team we moved for. And then when when we had a 10 minute ovation for you, he looked at me like, he just betrayed me. Like, why are we cheering for this guy? But that did feel like different emotion. Was there a part of you at that moment?

It's like, I really hope I can come back at some point. I think at that point, the door was, like, I thought the door was probably closed. So, you know, I think you're playing in a game like that you're almost trying to like, stick it to the team that I don't want to say didn't want you. But they were going in a different direction, right?

Yeah. So, I mean, I mean, that night with with Chelios and the, the ovation and just being back in the night, it's better be on the opposite side for the first time and then, you know, the, like, I didn't play good at all that game. And then, you know, I get the game when a chance and overtime in score, right? So it's like, and it was so cool about that.

I feel like half the people were kind of like mad. The black ox lost and then half were kind of like cheering for me, you know? Yeah. So it was, it was a, it was a great moment scoring that goal. And then almost like everybody skated off the ice and I did like another lap.

And just feeling the love from the fans. I'm like, this is, this is just, there's nothing like this place. Right. Even last year, you know, I, we came back in and I was on the ice, you know, starting the game and on the blue line for the national anthem.

And I was like, is it always this loud in here? Like, is this national anthem always this loud?

Like, like, did I take it for granted? Right. The 16 years I was, I was here and, um, so definitely looking forward to that. But, uh, yeah, I mean, you know, it's, it's funny the way things work out. I mean, if you would ask me last year, I thought, like, at the end of the season,

I thought I'd be going back to Detroit and, you know, things happen. And then it's like, okay, let's just take our time. See, it's out there July 1st and Danny words called me like, I don't love in all three or something. Like, like, as soon as you can see, open and it was actually kind of like an emotional call from him.

You know, it was, uh, it was, you know, a call and never forget.

But, uh, you know, all the sudden you start thinking about, okay, well, you know, there's, there's interest, maybe it'd be a cool place to come back and play. Yeah. We've got the first time you lied yourself to, to think about that or, to you. Can you self, like, was there a moment, maybe a year ago, where you're like, you know,

I can see myself kind of going back there at the end. Yeah, maybe a little bit, but nothing like two serious where I thought it could actually happen, you know. And, uh, I think things just kind of worked out where they're kind of like, at the stage where they're trying to take a step as a team, you know, and, uh, you know, I was a free agent and just, you know, kind of where I'm at.

I'm feeling like feeling good about my body, about myself, about my game. Um, yeah. I mean, I think just, obviously they made some big moves of summer getting by rooms, signing Connor, uh, some other players coming in, some free agent, some veteran guys. And, um, I thought it would be a great fit, not only just because, you know,

I'm, I'm living in Chicago because I play for the Black Oaks because I actually, think it's a good fit for me personally as a hockey player. Yeah, I'm so, I'm excited about it. It's going to be great.

Have you talked to Connor about playing on the same line as him?

Because that's, that's the thing is like, it's obviously there's been nostalgia factor, but it's also a good hockey fit. Yeah. You're still, like, you know, you're not the same players you were in your 20s, but you're still very good player that can contribute to a team.

So you've had those conversations, like, this is going to be fun to, uh, I'm too incredibly skilled guys on the same line. Yeah, I mean, not in, in, like, real, like, real depth or anything like that, but just excited to play with one another. Um, you know, obviously he's dealing with his injury, he signed his contract,

and then, you know, shortly after I signed my contract. So it's kind of been a world-win for, for both of us, but I told my like to catch up with him in a few days, just to kind of see where his head is at about the team and the direction and what it, what he thinks we need and, um, listen, I'd love to play with them.

He's an incredible player.

If not, I mean, you saw on the past, like, Taser kind of had his line for a while. I had my line. You create that inner competition. It's not, it's not such a bad thing sometimes.

Yeah. So there's a lot of great other players that, uh, have a lot of potential, I think, uh, with their team. Yeah. Yeah, it'll be interesting.

How's the hip feeling? It feels great. It's good. It's actually unbelievable. You know, I feel like when I first got it done, it was, it was okay.

It wasn't painful anymore, but it kind of felt like a little bit foreign, you know? Yeah. And, um, I feel like I got that, like, two, two and a half years in.

Uh, I really started feeling like my own hip.

So, uh, yeah, it feels awesome.

It's like crazy procedure you had, right? Yeah. Yeah. So it's kind of, how do I explain it? It's, it's not really, like, a full hip replacement,

but they just, like, they replaced, like, the top of the femur head. And then you still have, like, your, your, your femur. Yeah. Yeah. So it's just like, they kind of, like, cap at the top and get rid of all the arthritis.

So, uh, yeah. I mean, it's, uh, it was, it was kind of crazy because it's such a big procedure. And then as soon as the surgery is over, like, I felt better right away. Yeah. Like, there's no more pain.

But obviously, you have to build up, like, you know, they cut into your muscles.

You got to build those back up and kind of get used to just having, like, almost like a new joint, you know? Mm-hmm.

So it took, uh, I mean, listen, it was, I'm really happy I did it.

And, uh, it was, it was nice to be paying free for a bit. But, um, you know, took, I would say a couple of years to, to actually feel like my own. Yeah. That's going to be one of those things where you put it all for a long time. And you know that your hip hurts.

Yeah. You feel it all the time. And you don't want to, you know, take it any, any months away from the game of hockey. Yeah. But at some point, like, you have to say, okay, we need to take a step back to, to take a step forward.

Yeah. What was there a moment where you're like, okay, I can't, I can't just talk this out anymore. I got to do it. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I think, uh, so what happened, uh, you know, my hip, I was feeling my hip, uh, that the one season, I think I had, like, you know, 92 points or something. And I was like, you know, I could probably play like this. And then that, that off season, the blackhawks get rid of, like, strong.

And, uh, to bring it and they traded Hagle. So we're coming back in with a new group. And I was, I was okay that year, but I was struggling a little bit. And then all of a sudden, I like, right before the trade deadline, I just like popped.

I had like seven goals and four or five games I think it was.

And, uh, I was like, maybe, you know, maybe I'll go somewhere else and, and try to win, you know. I went to New York and it was a great experience. It was awesome. I loved it. But I just didn't really play at the level I was used to, you know.

So I think at that point, it was like, you know, I should probably do something here. Yeah. Uh, I had tough question for you. You would have liked to be on the men's, uh, national team this year with the gold medal. Uh, but was there a part of you that could watch it as maybe not a fan, maybe a fan?

And be proud of the fact that, like, you are, arguably, I would make the argument that you're the best American born player of all time. And all these guys playing winning the gold medal, like a lot of them were shaped because of you. And, like, your game and what you did for hockey that, yeah, you'd rather be on the team. But there is, like, the, all these guys idolize. Yeah, I know, you know what I mean?

Yeah. Yeah, definitely. I mean, of course, like, you know, I was, I was hoping I'd be on the team. I had a good start to the season. And I kind of got injured, came back, got injured again.

So I knew that the chances weren't, you know, going to be too good. But, uh, you know, I played with Larkin and Detroit. A lot of respect for him. There's, like, they, you know, supposedly loved me as a player when they were younger to. Those, those kids are awesome.

Um, so watching them win and, like, having the reaction they did, it was, it was pretty cool to see. And even, you know, after the fact, they're, like, face time and me texting me all that stuff. So I was, like, not that I was, like, a part of the team or anything. But you feel, like, you're, you lead the ground really.

I think that's anyone who played on, on a, uh, you know, the US team in years past.

It feels like they, because we, we talked about it when it happened. It's like the guys who won the gold medal in 15 years. There's going to be a lot of kids that are going to be like, I looked up for them. So it's all kind of built on itself. Yeah, you could feel the gratitude, especially from those guys, which was, which was pretty cool.

That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Can we do some nostalgia porn? Just like some, like, walk through memory land.

Yeah. Love it. Can you talk about the, uh, the game winning gold in 2010? Absolutely. Yeah.

Yeah. So that, that was, that was kind of a crazy game. Obviously, game six and Philly.

Um, you know, we're up three, two going into the third.

I was like, this is, this is awesome. We're going to win the Stanley Cup. They tie it up with like five minutes left. Make it three, three. And, uh, yeah.

I mean, I just, uh, Brian Campbell walked the line, gave it back to me. I just, uh, had a little, uh, time and space to try and make a move around, came old team and then who actually became my teammate on the team in 2015 and we won. Um, and just was trying to throw it on that and, uh, went through Michael Latins legs and, uh, kind of stuck in the back pad of the net.

Yeah. So, you know, I was, like, celebrating that the puck was in and there was really no reaction. So the only one in there. Yeah. So, uh, I mean, I think Sharpie actually knew.

Yeah. He was throwing his stuff, but I'm like celebrating like crazy. You know, throwing my stuff off going down the ice to, uh, to our goal. Yeah. And, uh, you know, the celebration was wild because guys are like coming to the pile

and they're looking back at the rough looking for answers. It's the puck in. I'm like, yeah, it's in. It's in. I'm sure enough they got confirmation that the goal was in and there was like a whole

Another celebration.

But I've actually had bad dreams where like, I shoot that puck and it, it doesn't go in and I'm like celebrating and throwing my stuff off. It's no goal. It's no goal. So, that's happened a few times, but thankfully it actually did go in.

Yeah.

I think like 30 seconds later the goal he was still looking around like.

Yeah. He didn't know. Yeah. Like stuck in the back pad and just stuck there as the puck went in. So to move that you put on them to get open.

Yeah. Yeah. How many headfakes is too many headfakes? Did you know how many that you were going to do like four headfakes? I was like, uh, I like playing basketball when I was younger.

So like, you know, you always try the Allen Irish and cross over or whatever.

So that I guess that was kind of my version of like a hockey cross over, right? But, um, yeah, I probably put a couple of different ones on and found just a little space. I guess. Yes, enough. Keep going.

You got more. I mean, yeah, what's your favorite championship? What's your favorite cup in terms of like the best team that you were on? Oh, I mean, I feel like they all had their moments, you know. 2013.

I think that was the lockout year. Yeah. Yeah. Like two months. It's crazy.

There was a 40-day game season. We didn't lose for 24. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah.

The season we didn't lose.

But, you know, we faced some adversity. We're down three one to Detroit. Came back. Came back. Came seven.

Seabrick goal. Ended up winning in Boston. That one was was pretty cool. That's the year I won. So just pretty special 2015 at home.

When in that home was was unbelievable. Especially since we won 2010 and 13 on the road. Yeah. Yeah. They all have their their moments.

I mean, we had a special group like that core group of players. You know, myself, taser, Sharpie Seabes. Dogs, Hosa, Crawford, Jamerson, like those guys. It was a special group.

What was it about the Canadian dollar that made the captain go upright?

Yeah. Yeah. The captain's left right. Yeah. It just like froze in place for a couple of years.

Remember when we, uh, what was that? I think, I think taser and I signed extensions in 2014, maybe. And we signed a 10 and a half. And our agent was like, listen, we should probably, you know, maybe ask for a little bit more. Because the cap's going to go up.

I think he was saying, like, stamp, coast and copi tower up. The next year and they're going to be making like 13 or 14 million dollars.

And the cap never went up.

So, like, all of a sudden, like copi tower sign at like 10, stamp coasts was eight and a half. And we thought these guys were getting way more. So, just kind of weird the way it worked out. I think I've told you, but I, I, the, from, from that run. I mean, there's so many big moments.

And it's like, yeah. We've talked to like chief and I talked about Eddie and all the guys, like, that it just felt like every spring was just like, your, your schedule set that, like every two days, Thursday, Saturday, it should be at a bar and it's like, there's a big game going on. But my favorite game from that entire run was the game seven against the ducks in 20 15,

which I think was like the perfect hockey game. Yeah. And it also came off the heels of Kessler saying that like, no human can withstand the hits that we're going to give you black hocks. Because it was like, right in that, like, the, the, like, big team for skilled team debate.

And you guys were just, yeah, keep winning. I know, I know we found ways we really did back back in that run. I mean, there's, I feel like there's games I could have went the other way to, like, like, like 2014 lost the game seven in LA. Yep.

You know, like, the, the pocket, I think Nick led his pants and went through. And we learned some things, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yep. But that game was, yeah. We were on the road. And our taser had two quick alls to get us up to nothing. And like you said, I think they were, they were so physical.

They were trying to, like, run us out of the building. Of course, at one seven games, you know, we were down three two in the series, came back home. One game six. And then, uh, to win it in games seven was really.

That was, uh, not like the, like, stamp that we were a good team, but like, I think we kind of like crossed off every type of like situation we had to do. Yeah, you know, getting through Detroit down three one, um, you know, being those teams out of West Vancouver, Calgary, you know, um, L.A. Like those, those were tough matchups.

We, we beat them in 13, lost them in 14, beat them in 15. Um, and then, uh, Anaheim was, yeah. I remember the, the 14 one was a brutal one because I was on a bachelor party in Nashville. And we got the whole bachelor party got back to Chicago, just so fucking, like, gasped.

And we all just went straight from the airport to the bar to watch game seven.

And I remember that puck just dropping in and just being like, well, what the fuck

do we do now? Actually, I messed up.

I said LA, but I meant Anaheim and 15.

Yeah, but, uh, yeah, that game was tough too, because if you look back, I think we were up like four, two with like 10 minutes left. Yeah. They scored two holes before four, so it's just like, you know, who knows, maybe they could have been on another one in the air.

Or maybe maybe we could have, could have not won it all in. Yeah. It shows how hard it is to win these things.

Like, it's, it's crazy like the, the barrage you have to go through and play off hockey.

Yeah. Yeah, go ahead. I was just wondering, when you knew that the team was capable of doing something special. Like, obviously winning a Stanley Cup special. Yeah.

But going on a little dynasty run. Yeah. Did you, did you think that was possible before 2010?

Or was it, maybe it was after you even won the first one that you allowed yourself to think,

like, yeah, we could do two, three. I think sometimes we're so like young and naive to the situation where, and like, I remember coming to Chicago being drafted first overall. And we had pre-season games. There's like 3,000 people in the building.

And me and some of my teammates went into the crowd and just sat in the crowd and watched the game and didn't get bothered by one person. Yeah. And by Christmas that year, the games were starting to sell out. So there was excitement.

You know, there was something was built. And I think we missed the playoffs, but maybe four points. And then the next year we made it to the conference finals. Lost to Detroit. And everyone was like, okay, you know, you know, maybe we're coming here.

We signed Brian Campbell after my first season. Then we signed Hosa after my second year. And those were big free agent signings. You know, you're going to get a guy like Hosa who's at, you know, two Stanley Cup finals previous to that year.

And then obviously one of the greatest free agent signings in sports history, right? Especially Chicago sports, but then you win the next year. And I was like, it all happened so fast. And it was just like, this is the way it's supposed to be. You know, it was like, but this was just how we thought it was supposed to be.

So looking back on it, I just think we're so young and naive to the situation.

We, like, I feel like, especially at that time. Like we kind of craved the attention a little bit. Like it was called to be cool, you know, to feel like you're popular. You know, so I think our team enjoyed that too. Yeah.

You talked to Taze after you signed. And he said he was a little jealous. But I just wanted to let him know. Yeah, the night before I was announced. I wanted to let him know that, hey, listen, I'm going to go back to the black box.

I just want to let you know. So you're not caught off guard or whatever. And I didn't really know what to expect to hear from him to be honest with you. But it was cool. His response just to say that that's, you know, that's awesome.

I wish I was doing that. I'm definitely jealous of you. So cool to hear that from him. Well, he, we, we have a long standing take on this show. Because I saw that the black box said they're going to do a one day, you know,

signing retirement for, for Taze.

You should have to play if you signed for one day.

Which would be sent. You know, it's just one game. You just have to play one game.

Well, yeah, well, what was he saying?

He was, he was like, I'm actually jealous. I'm like, hey, maybe maybe you come back for you. Yeah, I don't know. Listen. He's like, I'm thinking about it.

That would be. That would be. That would be talk about nostalgia. Yeah. Yeah.

One day contract, and then at the end of the day, you go back into the journal manager's office. You'd be like, okay. So let's talk about extension. Yeah.

Two days double it. Go for it. Yeah. Well, then you said it like 10 day contracts in the NBA. Yeah, that's kind of crazy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do they still do that? Yeah, they have 10 days. Yeah. They've been up and down with the G League.

On their show, we like to give every hockey guest and opportunity to talk about the NBA. Positive or negative. Whatever way you want to go. It's the Ryan Whitney rule. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm actually, I love basketball. Oh, he's not gonna like that. So it doesn't like how it sounds. Wait, he's fast.

He's fast. He's fast. He's fast. He's fast. He's fast.

He's fast. You know, obviously being in Chicago, like, Jordan's, Jordan's the answer to everything, but I actually grew up like, well, I'm loving the bra. Like, okay.

I'll see this. Like, I thought he was clapping right now. Yeah. It's our feeling booster. He gave me in some of my friends and my cousin's soul.

Many like memories just watching him like in the playoffs. And how good he was. It was incredible. So, and he's going into what? It's 24th and 25th year.

Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. So a lot of respect for the bra. He doesn't play every night though.

Like he takes some time off load management. Yeah. Be careful. Yeah. But he still played a lot last year.

And you know, like, 65. Yeah. Wait, he's not going to like this at all. No, he's going to. He's going to hate this.

Hey, it was your, was your dad a little disappointing that you didn't sign with the sabers,

knowing that he, so he drives to every home game, right?

Well, he, he did one year in Chicago. He made all 41 home games. Okay. From Buffalo. He's a, it's an eight hour drive.

Yeah. He's coming in and staying for a month. You know, he'll come in for one drive back. Yeah. He's crazy.

He's, he's not. But you ever say, like, maybe get a extended stay hotel. Yeah. Or a flight. Or a flight.

They, you can fly.

Well, it actually worked out where I had, like, one of my places I didn't sell. So he would just come in and stay there. That's part of like, he almost had, like, his, his own place. Yeah. He's on a place.

But like, freedom to come and go whenever you want. Yeah. So I worked out for him.

But actually, you know what, he was, like, I think he,

like, I think he would have been happy if I went to Buffalo. Yeah. You know, just especially with, like, my son being five years old. And then then being able to see him more often in like every day. But, um, I think he actually wanted me to come to Chicago.

Really? Yeah. Yeah. He's got his, he's got a good life here. Yeah.

He's like, he knows every steak house. Yeah. He knows all the security guards at the night. Yeah. He's got his little, you know, breakfast place as he goes to.

Yeah. He's looking to the ring, you know, chat it up with the security guys. Go and watch practice. Leave whenever he wants.

So it's basically like he resigned.

Yeah. It's not like I'm having to, yeah. It's not like I'm having to babysit him the whole time. Right. He kind of just does his own thing.

And he's comfortable with it. It's not like he signed with Anaheib or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. So, um, you know, actually when I was in Detroit, that's like, only four hours for him.

And he didn't come to his many games because I think he wasn't like,

it's comfortable with, like, the people around here. Right. So I'm sure he'll be coming to a lot more now. Oh, that's a perfect car. They got it.

The Blackhawks have to, I don't want to tell the social media team how to do their job, but like, your dad's homecoming would be very funny. Like him, like, shaking everyone's head. And they're like, he's back. Like this awesome.

They should absolutely do that. Yeah. Absolutely. I got to do that. Track how many miles he drives per year.

Yeah. Coming back and forth to the game. Yeah. Like a new security guard being like, all the bathrooms. I think he wants to tell me.

I know exactly where I'm going. Don't you worry. Right up to keep that idea to yourself. Maybe. Yeah.

Wow. I just said it. It's free. Maybe I betrayed market. Yeah.

It's popular. Yeah. We got to get him some ice cream, too. Yeah. Yeah.

I love this place, too. We did. So Cain came on the stretch last year, which is great. But we told some of the stories. But I'll retell this one.

The first time that Cain I ever actually met was in 2013. On the on the bus with the Stanley Cup and he just walked out to me. He goes, who the fucking fight is this blogger. And I don't know. Sure.

I was so fucking nervous. I already was like, well, I shouldn't be here. I bet it was Sharpie. Like, to all me to do it or something. Dude.

No. He was like, he was like, he's cool. He's like, he's all right. Because it was the party in the West Loop. Yeah.

Sharpie hiccup and was like, hey, come to this bar. Yeah. You get to see the cup. Take a picture of the cup. And I come and I take a picture with the cup.

And like, after 20 minutes, I'm like, Patrick, thank you so much. Like, I appreciate it so much.

Like, that was so incredible.

What a night. And he goes, what do you mean what a night? You're coming with us. What do you mean? I'm coming with you.

And then it was just, he was like, yeah, get on the bus. And I remember I was doing, everyone was doing on social media. They were trying to do the, like, Stanley Cup tracker. Like, where the cup's going. Because it would basically be.

It was just go to a bar for 20 minutes. Like, 17 champagne bottles, spray it everywhere, get back on the bus. Go to another bar. So everyone's like, where's the cup going? Where's the cup going?

And I was just giving updates and people like, how do you know where it's going? And I just took a selfie with me in the cup sitting on the bus. Because I'm staying. I'm right next to it. But yeah, that was a.

And then by 15, you were like, oh, you were, you were popping. See me. You're at Sharpie's house. Yeah. Sharpie's house.

And then on on the future. I think 15 was fine, too, because I, we did like a big picture. I think I told this on the stretch. But we did a big picture with like the black hocks, the cobs, the white socks. Well, the white socks were there.

No, it was just a cup. Yeah, yeah. Okay, black hocks and cobs. And then there's like two other guys in the picture. And one of them is like my best buddy.

And the other one is a big case. Yeah. Is that the one that was your. Your avatar for what? Yeah.

And just on the field of ring. On the field of ring. Yeah. But that was because your buddy, your best friend. Yeah, he said that was it.

It was him who did it. So we were like, we were with the cup. We're walking in the concourse. And it's like, all right, guys, ready to go on the field. And canors best friend just looks at me goes, we're going.

And I was like, I love it. Okay. We are. All right. Let's fucking go.

And we're just waving it everywhere in the outfields. Like those were like such good times. Oh, that's good memory.

I also remember that we were at, I think we were at rock it.

When it was still in Rigglyville. And it was like maybe an hour after we left Sharpie's house. And Cory Crawford, the goalie incredible goalie was at Sharpie's house. It was at Sharpie's front door being like, where, where is everybody? There was like, do we left this whole long ago?

That was that one. And then the, in 2015, one of my favorite moments was, there's like a night. How the cup works is like, you guys go out with it. Like the first second night, party, everything. And then the parade happens.

And then like after the parade, there's always a night where the cup goes somewhere.

And like all the behind the scenes staff.

All this ticket people, everyone from the black hogs gets to go.

So it was at the pony. Yeah.

And I showed up because Sharpie told me, like, go get your buddies to get a picture with the cup.

I'm like, go, he's like, I'm not going, but you go. And I'm sitting there. And Johnny Oduja is sitting at the table. And he looks at me. He goes, where is everyone?

And I was like, dude, I'm not on the team. He was like, why are you asking me? He was the last one in the party. He was the only player there. He's like, where the fuck is everyone?

He's like, I think they're talking about the night was for him too. Yeah. He's like, I just was going to keep going out with the cup.

When did you have to, like, just got to be a different realization.

I guess for everybody. But what's the moment where you say to yourself, okay. I think I'm done partying with the cup. Time to call tonight. Oh, man.

There's, uh, there's actually, uh, I feel like we got so used to it. Um, and 2015 after we won in the locker room. Like, this is right after there's pictures of like me.

And my sisters and my buddies.

And the cup's just like behind us. Like no one's even paying attention to it. And, you know, that didn't happen very often. But there's just like, you know, one shot of it where it's just like chilling by itself. Like behind everyone, you know?

Yeah. And, uh, laughter thought. Yeah. Yeah. So, but honestly, it was probably.

I feel like guys stuck around for like a couple weeks. Yeah. And then, you know, I want to get around like a week, ten days. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. I got, you know, maybe I got to get out of here. So the season comes around so fast. It's like, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Especially when you go that long. Right. Right.

So it does have a curfew though, the cup.

Yep. The guy would, he would, like, like, like, I don't know midnight around then. I remember. Back it in and be like, all right.

That's enough cup tonight. Yeah. But the party would keep going. But he'd be like cups got to go home. It's got a curfew.

In 2010, they said, we're going to give you the cup a little bit later in the summer. But you're going to have it in Buffalo. And then you're going to bring it to Chicago the next day and bring it to Jimmy Buffett concert.

Sorry, you're going to have it for two days, you know?

So I was like, yeah, that works whatever. So we have it in Buffalo. We go to Jimmy Buffett concert. We take it out and regularly fill in the guy with the cups. Like, you know, I'll stay out with you guys a little bit later tonight.

Like, I'll stay out till like two or three a.m. So we're like all pumped up or whatever. And by that time, we're like spraying each other with champagne. Like spraying each other with beers. Everybody's soaked.

And we kind of look at the cup guy. And we're like, shall we spray him? Yeah. And he's like, if you guys spray me, I'm taking the cup on. Spray him.

And then he just got up all wet with the cup and went home. He's so mad. He's just like, oh. Very similar to that. And he's the guy with the hair, which is he's, you can see.

Yeah, he's the man. He's got the white gloves. Yeah. It's a couple of them. He fills the main guy.

Yeah. It's like, it's so funny. Like the scene of being at a bar where it's just absolute chaos. And there's just this one guy who's sober. Who's just staring at this thing being like, please don't drop.

And please don't fuck this. And always get to drop. Yeah. He's got the most stressful job in the world. Oh, man.

All right.

So have you thought about, like, is there any part of you, like coming back?

We're now, you're, you are like the veteran in the locker room. I know you were the veterans when you were last with the black hox. But the teams changed over. Is there like something that you're going to, you know, take the boys out or something like that?

Or something like that where it's like, try to help everyone. Yeah. It's a young, you know, there's young guys trying to get to the playoffs. Yeah. I have to figure it out a little bit.

But I definitely want these, like, I want these kids to treat me like their teammate. You know, I don't want it to be like they're just like looking up to me or anything like that. Like I want to be friends with these guys and have them. You know, treat me like one of their own. Like if I, if I turn the puck over, I want someone to, like,

yell at me for doing that. Yeah. I can't do that. You know, I want it to be the same across the board that accountability. So yeah, definitely try to get to know them a little bit more.

You know, I've, I've skated with a lot of these guys in the past few summers. You know, like, Ms. R. And, uh, uh, classic and love shoon off and Kaiser. Uh, guys like that. I've actually skated with, um, with Bedard at hockey camps before and whatnot.

So I feel like I know these guys well. It's just more like, you know, just having the respect factor on an even level. Right? So it's, uh, kind of even across the board. But, um, yeah, someone, I saw something today that it was like,

Anton Frontel is, uh, closer and aged with my son than I am with him, you know? So it's like, yeah. It's like, yeah. It's like these guys are pretty young, but at the same time, I feel like I've done really well with young players in the past, you know?

Yeah. Looking back on, like, schmolts and, in Hartman and those guys, and then it was like Panarian, and then it was, uh, Debrink at, um, you know, Raymond and Detroit, you know? So I fit it off well with the young guys.

So I'm not too, too concerned about it. When, when you, when you're in the summer, like, and you're going to skate,

How long you skate?

This is a dumb question.

I think every day is, every day is different.

Yeah. Like yesterday we were on for like an 115. And what do you guys do? And just drills are you actually? Yesterday it was like actually like a fun, like we do like a game day, you know?

Like so it played like three on three across the ice, or neutral zone games. Other than that, like, I've actually been, I've had some skates this year where it's just me and Frankie. Frankie nays our on the ice, and we're just kind of like working on skills and stuff. So, um, kind of trying to develop some chemistry with him a little bit,

just because like, he's here. And, you know, I didn't, I mean, it wasn't like I was thinking I was going to play here. But yeah, at the same time in the back of my mind, I knew it was maybe an option, right? So, you think about that stuff. Um, but yeah, I mean, every skate's different.

It's probably anywhere from like an hour to an hour and a half. Yeah. Well, I actually had a question about the free agency because there was an article, I think in the athletic, uh, your agent talking about it. Like usually guys, you want to sign July 1st, July 2nd.

Yeah. And you were like, I want to take my time. Yeah. Was there any time in those three weeks where you're like, fuck, I got to, like, all this money's going away.

Like, what's, you know, uh, no spots are filling up.

No, I never really thought about it from, from the, you know, money aspect.

I think it was, you know, I first, you kind of feel that pressure, right?

Because teams, I think they, they wanted to answer it. Especially early on. So, I felt that pressure a little bit from some teams. And I was like, not ready to make a decision. So, I was just going to wait it out.

And then after like the first two or three days, everything like really quieted down. And I was pretty much like on my own schedule. And my agents like take as much time as you need. So that was kind of comforting.

And, um, yeah, it was pretty much between Buffalo and Chicago. So, yeah. He said that he had like ten different teams that were in the morning. Yeah. Which has got to feel good.

You know, like, at this point of your career. Yeah. That's just still wanting it. Yeah. There's, there's some great options out there.

And, uh, you know, like I said, I was never really about the money or anything. Just more about the fit. And, uh, um, I think, uh, like,

for me, from ages, like five to 13, I would go to Sabers Games. You know, that's what I would do. Like that. That's how I grew up.

Like I loved being a Sabers fan. I loved the Sabers. So, you know, that little, like, kid you still have in you is, like, telling me to go back to Buffalo.

But then, you know, you have, like, the nostalgia factor of Chicago and just like the fit here. So, just, it was, it was nice to have my time to just kind of, like, go through it all. And you'd talk to different people every day,

whether it was, you know, like, Danny Words or Jeff Blasher or people in Buffalo. Different players would reach out, um, you know, but Dard reached out. So, Annie would love to have me here.

Things like that. So, makes you feel good and, uh,

gives you more information the more time you have to, right?

Yeah. Are you a Bills fan? Yeah. Yeah. I've seen the, uh, the new stadium out there.

I haven't been to it. You know, I've seen different videos of it. But, uh, I know they play Detroit. Uh, actually, I think in their, their home opener this year. So, place will be rockin'.

Yeah. Hey, Josh Allen guys. You guys, Josh Allen. Yeah, Josh Allen. Well, we, we, like, got to know him before even got drafted.

And he's been a front of a long time. He's become on a show. Oh, yeah. He's actually in the book. Oh, we wrote a chapter in the book.

No, yeah, yeah. Awesome. And then I, I was just looking at the new stadium today. They have a giant. I think it's like a 40 foot folding table.

Yeah, folding table statue. Oh, yeah. That's broken. Smash down the note. Have you ever, you ever broken a table?

No, broken table. We got to get you.

I don't, I don't think I'm Bill's mafia, but I'm a Bill's fan.

So, yeah. Not on that long. Maybe after you retire, you can just be the guy who's just game nice. 50 pounds. Yeah.

Put on the zoom. Yeah. Yeah. So I jumped through. Yeah.

It's right. It's Patrick pretty much. Yeah. Just like I'm just going to go to Bill's games. Get shirtless and drink a bunch of beer.

Yeah. Who is that? It's Patrick. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Do you have any superstitions? Because we had, um, we had strong on the show.

And he's got like a million.

Oh, you guys don't strong, huh? Yeah. All right. He's got, it was actually insane. I don't know how he plays hockey game with the amount of superstitions.

Yeah. Yeah. Some guys are like that. I'm not really like that with the superstitions. I think it's just more routine.

You know, you kind of stick to just your routine of, you know, what comes natural and how you go about your day. But nothing really crazy. Like superstition. Yeah.

But I like switch it up. I won't, I won't, you know, stick to the same thing. You know, if things are working, you know, you kind of keep it the same. But it's not like I have to do something just, you know, because it's like a superstition or routine.

You know, I'll switch it up if I want. Yeah. Yeah. What about, what about playoff Mario Kart? Oh, yeah.

Is that something you'll bring back? I would love to bring that back. Yeah. Just locking in with the boys and play Mario Kart. Good memories.

Great way to turn off the brain a little bit.

Yeah.

A little competition with the boys, you know.

You know, it's a, it's a, it's the foreman game, right?

Yeah. With the Wii and then you'd have like a, like, an A game. Like all the top players when the A game and then you have a B game. Like, guys, that we're trying to get up to the top level and win. And if you're like a low guy, you got kicked out.

And the next guy would come in that one in the B level. So who's the best player? I think Jamerson was actually. Okay. Jamerson was probably the best.

Jamerson was one of those guys that, like, if you see him in a suit, you're like, how are you? The top guys guy ever has. He looks like an account on the boy. And you're just like, you're just nails.

Like, you are the toughest man. Oh, man. The way that guy played the game. Yeah. I don't know how he played hockey like that.

It's not. It can't be fun. No. And he's not like, you fucking shot. He would get run over all the time.

And it's just like he'd become limp and back to the bench. He just gets done. Yeah.

Which he'd be out there next year.

Yeah. What Mario Kart character would you? Uh, what was uh, it was uh, King Boop. Okay. King Boop.

Yeah. Oh, so some new Mario Kart. No, no. It was the older one. Wait, King Boop.

I don't know if he's going to be new one, right? I don't know if we unlocked the characters or whatever. But uh, was on Wii? Yeah, it was on the Wii. Oh, Max.

You know King Boop? What is for sure? What is King Boomin? What does that tell us about the guy? He's the big ghost.

So is that power header and the power header? But he's slower, but he can hit everything? Yeah. Okay. It's like perfect for me.

Yeah. Yeah. You get to just like cosplays, right? I think too. Characters.

Seabed is Bowser. Okay.

So that would make sense.

That actually fits perfectly. It was Waluigi. Okay. This is actually he's like a good experiment. Like Sharpie was Princess Peach.

Okay. That's perfect. Yeah. It's a beauty. Oh, that's King Boop.

Oh, that's King Boop. Okay. I know Boop. Yeah. I don't even remember who Jamerson was.

Oh, Jamerson might have been Oreo. Okay. That's good. That's it. You break it down.

That should be like a combat question. Yeah. It was too good. And Marica. Chief, you got any questions?

You want to come sit down for a sec? Chiefs in here. Chiefs. You got something. I don't know.

Chiefs didn't get into the show. Yeah. They want to be here. Yeah. That's been here.

He's been here the whole time back in there. Yeah. Yeah. Welcome, Chief. Yeah.

Thanks for having me. Big fan. AWL. No, I don't know. I guess it's like.

It's kind of more serious question. But like the goals.

Like, did you, did you talk it to Davidson and Blashle?

I'm dying to know what Danny words said to you, too. Oh, yeah. No, it was like with Danny. I feel like it was actually like pretty emotional. You know, he started getting all the feels back when you're talking to him.

But one thing he said was if you came back, it would be nothing like the cities ever seen before. So, you know, he started thinking about that. Like, that's the city of Chicago and how great of a sports time it is. And the memories here. So that one, that one hit me pretty hard.

But he was great. He was great on the phone. Davidson was Kyle has been awesome through the whole thing. Blashle was actually very impressive. He was kind of breaking down the roster where he sees the team, where he sees guys kind of pop and off.

So he was great. You got what I had to buy tickets again. Oh, yeah. He had, he didn't take it for a little six to 17. No way, he gave him one.

He gave him one. How do you get off all the renew? I don't know. He had something to tell me. He had something to tell me.

He had something to tell me. I think there was just a little bug. It was you and I can't figure it out. It was the day they traded Panerian and Jawlers. And he's like, "Really?"

Yeah, that was it. It's on the check speed. Yes, you've got to get tickets. I'm like, "All right." Yeah.

So he's back. He's back in. I love that.

Yeah, I think this team has a lot of potential, a lot of firepower.

Just actually when we played it, when we played on last year, here with Detroit, I think we beat him like four or five to one. But they kind of buzzed on us. They had some chances they had some books. So I think there's definitely some potential.

So I'm excited for it. I mean, I feel like the last week or two, it's kind of been just like Chicago. I'm going to go to Chicago and just, you know, not really waiting on anything. But just, you know, kind of making sure it's the right move. Yeah.

I think Buffalo would have been pretty fun too. But I think, yeah, my heart was definitely here. Yeah, I think I set the record for refreshing Twitter for last three weeks. Yeah, thanks for that. Yeah.

No, I mean, like, you guys are awesome. I mean, like the support you guys have given me. And especially you chief, like throughout the years, like that's, that doesn't go on notice, you know, I love that part about you guys. So hopefully.

Yeah. Yeah. There you go. I'll give love where the loved one. You got any other questions?

We can go to Zach if you don't.

Go to Zach. All right, Zach. All right, so put on the headphones, cater Zach. You ready? This is a big moment for you.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Headphones right there.

Uh, rowback question.

RHO BACK dot com promo code take 20% off your first purchase.

Cusips, Polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, a rowback dot com promo code take. Zach, you're up. You ready? Oh, he's certain. I do nacer.

You're more. I have a quick question. Zach's very nervous. If you can't tell all the time. No, I'll do it.

I appreciate your time today. Very much. Thank you. Thanks for having me. 20 in season.

You spent more time in a professional hockey player than not a professional. Yeah. What's like a mate?

What's the key to longevity when it comes to playing at that kind of clip this long?

And how many more years do you think you can execute that? Oh, yeah. That's a good question. I think so. Good question.

Good question, Zach. Um.

Honestly, I think it comes down to the love of the game.

And just the desire to want to put the work in. Whether it's the offseason every day during the season. Whatever it may be to keep your body right. I actually feel really good. So, um, you know, not really really sure how many years I have left.

But, um, you know, I signed a two year contract. I mean, I would like to think I could still play after that. We'll see. Yeah, I think at this point, especially, you know, 37 turning 38 this year. It's probably more of like a year to year thing.

And, um, we'll see as we go. But I still love the game. Still love playing. Um, definitely excited that I got a two year contract. Um, you know, the last few years.

I think every year's the last three years. It's been one year contract along the way. So, um, nice to get a two year deal and kind of try and see this thing through a little bit. Here in Chicago. Yeah.

Good question. You got to follow up. You spoke a little bit earlier in the interview about how, uh, you feel it's important for your teammates to look at you not just as like someone to look up to a more similar team. Yeah.

Do you feel the responsibility though to kind of try to pass on those same values to the younger guys and still that in them for the team or or not so much?

Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.

I'm going to try to help these guys as much as possible.

I mean, I want to, uh, Anyway, I can help, um, you know, whether it's. Help Connor is much as possible, help, you know, Frankie, help all these guys. Um, I think one of the, the best things you can do in. In, uh, in the NHL is play with confidence.

And, uh, if you have that confidence, that's swagger, which I feel like a lot of these guys do and take it onto the ice and play. You know, not like pond hockey, but play the right way. I think, um, the skies that limit, especially with the potential here. So, um, yeah, I'm going to help as much as I possibly can. But I do think it is important that, you know, I'm one of the guys.

You know, I'm not just like the old guy in the room that's, uh, you know, riding into the sunset and, you know, just, uh, accepting his money and moving on. You know, like I still want to play. I want to be a player.

I want to, uh, help the team as much as possible and be a factor. So, um, that's going to be important. Zach, by the way, I did a bad job of introducing him. He is, uh, he's, he and Jacob are the cream team here. So, they have, when I bought him team.

Yeah, when I bought the ice cream machine. I told Zach and Jacob. Oh, you think it was like, that's the cream team. Yeah. Yeah.

I told Zach and Jacob. I was like, as long as this ice cream machine works, you have a job. Uh, and now they've done a lot more since then. But, uh, that'll fix it at all. They have to fix it.

They have to make sure it's running. They've got to get the deliveries. How is the, uh, what do you get? Do you guys have one flavor? Chocolate and vanilla.

Chocolate and vanilla. Win toppings. Yep. Everything. So, Zach will get you hooked up.

Waffle cones, sugar cones. Uh, the real thin crispy cones. Yeah. He was, he was on Saturday. A lot of options.

What? Zach was here Saturday. Oh, yeah. Thanks. Yeah, because we had some issues.

Yeah. It's like anything else in my opinion. Those ups and downs. But right now, when he goes back and goes back. Boy, Zach.

Yeah. If it's not working for Kane in the minute, like, oh, I had to side door. I understand. Yeah. The lever was left down for a little bit.

Oh, no. But that's okay. That's okay for that before the interviews. I don't know what else he can do. He's honest.

He put a sign that says, do not leave the lever down. If people won't look after their things and that's kind of on them. Then you can't police. We might have to start finding people who leave the lever down. Yeah.

Oh, with me again, set. Okay. Hard time. �.

Mitch was in charge of the toppings bar, but I think that lasted about one day.

Yeah. Yeah. It didn't work. All right. Well, Kane, if thank you so much.

Yeah. Welcome back. It's such an awesome, awesome thing. And I can't wait to watch you play hockey at the United Center. Yeah.

It's going to be great. I'm glad I got to make my debut on part of my day. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Look alive everyone. It is the Mount Rushmore of things you eat with the spoon. And right now, it is. My self-max memes at 30 points. PFT at 23 Hank and Zach at 19.

I do have a question before we start. We left the listeners on a little bit of a cliffhanger on Friday with the takies. Who said kumbaya first? I said the words kumbaya first. Oh, wait.

Interesting. I thought so. Interesting. That's it. That's it.

Do you want to say something? I said it. I said it. You claim that I did. When you guys were trying to do that.

I said that I was physically the first person. Well, say kumbaya. So I want to take the calorie you were right. I said that Hank said it.

And then Hank, you also gaslit me by telling me that I was gaslighting you.

And you then gaslit me and made me almost cop to it. I was just fighting back. And you guys were like, why are you fighting back? And this was supposed to be like a fun Mal Rushmore. And I said, oh, I forgot we're doing kumbaya.

So again, like I was not the one pushing for kumbaya. I just said, you know what I'm talking about? I'm not socially implied it. And then he said the worst. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. There was social implication. Social implication. I socially implied it after Hank's scoffed at the fact that he said that you couldn't just eat turkey. I forgot that.

That was crazy. That was crazy. That was crazy. That's how everything started. Yeah.

I could eat. I was the first person.

So why why did you just now say technically I was the first person to have.

Because I was not the one that was like I was trying to. Like I was trying to fight back. Yeah. I didn't want kumbaya. Need to write.

But you were like, this was supposed to be fun Mal Rushmore. We thought we didn't want that. We thought we were so crazy. We were so crazy. It was amazing.

Into the first one. Yeah. Yeah. You wanted to come out. So you said the kumbaya word.

I said the kumbaya word. Like I said that. Okay. All right. Mal Rushmore.

If things meet with the spoon. Who wants to order? We screwed up every time we go. All right. So we're first.

I have a question. Yeah. Hank and Zach. Have you guys won yet? No.

Okay. Because I saw that stat. I didn't know if it was true. It's true. Okay.

You guys. Yeah. I mean, the lava lamp was bullshit. You won that one. Your team.

I mean, pick out chickens. You could have voted. And you didn't. So it's. No.

My team voted. I know. You voted. For it. Max vote.

No. No. Oh yeah. Max. I don't know.

No. I don't know. Well, whatever. That's a democracy. Yeah.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Yeah. You said.

You didn't vote though. You didn't vote with your heart. You voted with. You literally said who's going to get the least mad at me. Correct.

So that's not really democracy. That is. That's kind of. You can vote for whatever reason you want to vote. Yeah.

We in aren't you wrong now because Hank's the most bad at you. True. So pack fire. I actually, but I'm used to anchoring mad at me. Got it.

That's resting. Yeah. Yeah. Oh man.

Championship or bust for Max is not.

He's worked. We're doing Rushmore. All right. All right. Is the championship or bust for you guys?

For what? Rushmore season? No. Just can't come in last. You know the answer to that.

That's always been Rushmore.

But with this big of a lead. There's a lot. I heard from this guy. There's a lot for left to play. No ring is a big three.

That would be. Why are you coming at my team? I'm not going to ask you a question. But I'm not going to ask you if you'd one one. You'd be a big three.

I was asking if you guys are trained.

But do you think PFT actually was asking that question or do you think you'd be the answer?

I don't know. You're being a little cheeky with it. I was being curious. Okay. PFT is so cheeky.

All right. You're cracking. Oh, that is a great shirt. Get a life of football life. Oh fuck.

That guy rocks. Okay. We have the first pick. And who's second? Egg.

And Zach. Zach. Is that correct? Correct. Mames?

Correct. Are you sure you ordered time? Say order time. PFT. What's up?

Say order every time.

But the problem is when we miss a day.

Yeah. Because I was used to like Friday. We go last. Now it's Monday. We go first.

Now it's Monday. We go first. All right. Our first pick is ice cream. Good pick.

When ice cream guy threw him throw. How to do it. There's no other way. How to be ice cream. Yep.

How to be ice cream. All right. And then we talked about this earlier. All the entirety of all of them. We're going to take soup.

Okay. Good pick. Good pick. Good pick. Good pick.

I'm going to go with.

I mean, there's a clear one too in this draft.

So third is. There's a tough spot to be. I'm going to go with gelato. Here we go. Here we go.

Okay. What? You're going to go with gelato. Good pick. It's different.

It's different from ice cream. Okay. You're going to go with gelato. We picked ice cream. And you're going to go with gelato.

It's different from ice cream. It's a different dish. I would like for you to explain it to me. Should we put it? I would like for you to explain the difference.

Okay. It's got a different. I'm fine with it. I'm fine with it. I'm fine with it.

I'm fine with it. That was a great explanation. I honestly don't know. I don't know the difference between gelato and ice cream. I don't know it.

So point taken. I won't take too long. No, you can take too long. No, it's bad. Max, you let him take.

No, it's the pick. We're not protesting. I would not officially protest. I would draw my pick. No, you can't do that.

You picked it. You picked it. You picked it. The pick is in. Shut up.

We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not.

We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not.

I'm going to go mashed potatoes. Okay. I was on our last. There we go. Three.

You think three?

If you think four, all would you pick four through.

All right. All right. We're like, take cereal. Yeah. How did that fall?

How did cereal fall? It's how did it fall? It's a good pick. Soup. I was shocked.

I didn't say anything after you picked. I was like, how did you guys want it? You guys want it. Yeah, just want it. You picked the jinx that you guys hadn't wanted.

And then you didn't take cereal with his first experience.

That's a great way. That's a great way. I did not take cereal. Dude, I was like your argument that cereal is a type of soup. Dude.

That was one of the most shocking things I've ever seen. I liked that argument. I think I liked that argument. Tell me why cereal is different from something. I liked that argument.

It's not cooked. Soup in the cans. Siro's going to box. Just box shows, also not it. I was shy.

I was the only reason I didn't say anything is because I was hoping that you guys didn't take it. Yeah. We thought it was such it. I realized that.

We thought you were doing it. And that's why I was like, all right. Fine, let him have it. It was the most. But we fucked up.

It was the most one, two, three. Everyone gets an awesome pick. Ice cream soup cereal. I think cereal is clear third. Oh.

We did think about taking ice cream lamp. But. Now this. All right. Now it.

I can't believe it. You want to do that? I like 11. Okay. Yep.

We have to. You remember. Yeah. Here we go. Oh, I'm deep voting for you.

Yeah. What you got. Yep. We're going to take. We're going to take chili.

Yeah. That is chili soup. Yeah. No, no, no. It's not a soup.

I had chili on my list too. You go with that egg. So you would have fought for chili as well? Yes, chili is not a soup. Are you going with that egg?

Yep. I do think chili is different than soup. It is. We're not taking, you know, clam chowder or anything like that. Chili is a different category.

And then six or seven. I like six or seven. Yeah. I think six. I think six.

I think seven. Okay. Seven. What? Me?

I think we get seven on the-- I think we get six on the way back. I think we get six on the way back.

If I'm making mac and cheese on the stove I'm putting in a bowl and eating with a spoon.
