>> We're going to part of my take presented by draft Kings the crown is yours today is Monday may 11th Max. >> He's getting up. He's getting up. >> Max, 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, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Oh, he's getting up. He's getting up. Max. Oh, we're not sitting down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. You get way to seconds. We get water. Why don't we go in a minute?

Slow down, Max. Listen. So many stars can wait. Max. Why are you dry, Max? No, Max. Max. Max. Max. Max. Oh, man. He's going to go back. He's going to be wet. Let's talk about those memes. Zack, where'd Zack go? Zack, you don't have to go.

I think Zack's film is. Zack's film. We have memes, congratulations.

Incredible sweep. That was an absolute destruction of the Philadelphia 76ers.

You walked into their trap. You took over their trap to quote Kirk Cousins. It was so loud. It was so loud. I had the game on. And you know, the the next were up by 20 almost instantly. And it felt like like if you weren't looking at the screen when something was happening, you thought maybe the sixers were coming back. No, it was the Nick's just hitting more and more

“threes because that's how many Nick's fans were in Philadelphia over the weekend.”

Completely dominating. There have money. Me, they got jobs. memes, congratulations. Your team is absolutely rolling. Thank you very much. This is probably the best New York team I've ever seen in my entire life.

Yankees won a world series.

Sean, it's one couple. Giants won a couple. Yeah. Jail brought to me. That's really good until like mid September for a couple years. Yeah, yeah, didn't know what's the name of the wine, what's in the ml. Red. Red. Yeah. Did the Red Bulls win one?

No, the other the other one did. The one that you don't require. New York Liberty. You love the Liberty. Oh, yeah, Liberty. Yeah. Yeah. So maybe second pass. All right. So, so keep going. Sorry. No, it's okay. I mean, the Nick's are so good. Jail Brouts are just a God at basketball.

The seventy-sixers are also terrible at basketball. That was a big part of this, but they got the job done and the team's just clicking right now. Yeah. No, are you a little bit worried that you guys have played your best basketball because you're just dominant. And it's kind of a compliment that I'm even asking that because right now, I would say, I would say Nick's are a threat to win the NBA championship.

But are you worried that it can't get any better? No, I'm going to say no because that was the storyline last series. Yeah. They peeked too early, but they just keep on peeking. Yeah, they are.

I mean, that was today was it was just never even close.

It was over like at the jump. Jail and Broutson has been phenomenal. Jail and Broutson only had to play.

“What do you end up playing? Like 30 minutes, even less, I think.”

He didn't even have to play 28 minutes. Carl Anthony Townes was incredible this series. I saw the stat about like, if you're somewhat, you know, tips are very good coach, but it does feel like the Nixon finally figure out a way to unlock cat in terms of being a guy who can facilitate offense, the high post, you know,

his assist number has been off the charts. The stat was from Friday night after Friday night's game, uh, he had more than double the assist than he had the entire playoff from last year, 52 to 24 and half as many games and 14 less turnovers. And I think today he had another 10 assists game.

So 64 assists, he's been awesome. The whole team, I mean, you, you also had OG get hurt and then not need him. And he gets full rest, which is huge. It's just everything's going well for you right now, memes. And Zach, congratulations, Zach.

You went up to film Max, but we want to say congrats to you as well. Thank you, sir. You guys were 100% correct, right?

Like from the, from the second that the Celtics lost and we're celebrating the Philadelphia

Super Bowl. You guys just under your breath immediately. We're like, we're going to kick the dog shit out of this team. Yeah, and you guys are right. So you called it, you guys know, ball.

Now we're going to get into the rest first, rest debate, too, because it feels like the other series is mid off. You guys are going to have maximum rest time.

“I think like, Big Cat said for OG, that's going to be good.”

That's going to be good for him to recover, but you guys are going to have a lot of time to recover. So are you, you're in favor of rest? I'm in favor of rest just because the difference between last year's team and this year's team.

Last year's team, we had five guys in the top 20 minutes played. And now we only have one guy in the top 20 minutes played last of this regular season. So they benefit off of resting and they just look fast. And when they're fully rested, they just go nuclear for three. Yeah.

I mean, we also should mention Doosmic Pride, water performance for men, 7 for 9 for 3. He just couldn't miss. He absolutely couldn't miss. And yeah, it was the most competitive game in this entire series was game 2 when it be didn't play.

Yeah. That was it. That's kind of crazy. It feels like that was the series right there. Max Mitchell Robbs and also didn't play.

Yes, that's true. He really is a true ex-factor because when they are missing three, he just gets every single offensive rebound and you just get dished it back out. Shut up, Mitchell Robbs and two, I just love that Hacker Shack is like still alive and well.

It's just great. I don't know why there's something about it. I know that some people like that's not basketball. This is lame.

I like that like at some point in the third quarter, we're just going to do some

free throws. We're going to fucking get to the free throw line and we're just going to watch a big man shoot some free throws. But when he goes like 50/50 from the line, if he hits like the first half of the crowd goes nuts, it's like, okay, this is a good trip.

The strategy doesn't work this time. Max, you came back in. You look to be pretty wet wet as fuck. Very wet. Very wet.

It's only about how wet you are. I tried to make sure that most of my body got wet under there because that was elusing that deserved to be as wet as wet could be. Yeah.

“Max, have you had, because I think everyone does this where if they go on a”

great trip, they think about like on Friday night, I was laying in bed and I was like, I was at the sphere a week ago right now, just so much, so much mushrooms in my skull just having the time my life. And then like Saturday, I was out to dinner my wife was like, we were sitting in a hotel

Then right now, we would have been recording the podcast in Vegas and dip on as a different

podcast. I don't think you could be faster that this, you went, well, no, because it could correct. It couldn't have been. No, I know, but I just like how fast and how severe it was.

Yes, well, there's last weekend to right now. Yes, factual. It could not have gone any faster.

Well, no, you guys could have, there were four games.

You guys don't image between. Okay. I see the 10 of this. Wait, but you're a game, that was one of the things for you. Yeah, wouldn't have felt as fat it didn't know what it would have been.

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, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

“Oh no, it's a G-doh like five minutes. We would be doing the same thing right now. That's why we would have been doing it. It did seem like Bicke was just you're agreeing with Bicke. But you're doing it.”

He's mad about some man. It's not some. It's not some. It's like you're almost falling. It's going faster and that is correct. Yeah, not of course. Okay, so in conclusion Max you're agreeing with Bicke. Yeah, correct. Okay, this has all been a long agreeing. Great. Great. I agree. I agree. I agree. Yeah. Max. Do you do what do you think back to last last weekend and be like, I kind of regret spiking the football in Hanks face. Last weekend, we won the game. This weekend, we lost the game. And it was, it feels like last weekend was like two seconds. Oh, how fast it was.

I mean, it was an ass. I actually feel like it feels like forever ago. That's incorrect. It actually had been any less. Yeah, forever is a lot longer than seven days. Correct. Yeah, I'm sure like after, you know, on Monday or Sunday. Like that the Lente brothers group chat was firing like, was there anything going on in this weekend? Oh, yeah, I was going to fight with my brother on the Friday night because he, I just kept saying this, this six or team that we saw this week is what we expected go in the last year. I just kept saying that I was like, this isn't a good team. They're not a good basketball team. I don't know what happened in the Celtic series.

But this is who we thought they were going in going into the playoffs. I didn't want to make the playoffs because I didn't want to watch this iteration of the sixers. This team is bad. The only thing that surprised me in this series is Tyre's Maxi was horrendous. I expected everything else of like everything of, you know, Joel and B doing like Friday, Joel was a joke. Like, I'm willing to admit he was a fucking joke on. He wasn't playing the game of basketball Friday. Yeah, PFT. But then, I mean, then to PFT. Yes.

“Yeah, Max, PFT comes. I had a question for you regarding this, this season as a whole. Would you consider this season to be a success? No, it was not a success. Why do people are pulling that?”

Because they asked Joel and B that after the game, here's his quote. I mean, like, you know, I said it, then I'm going to say it again. I know we lost, you know, and I know that's not the one mentality to have, but, you know, for me, this was a success. I came into this year, and I know where I was going to be. You know, I was going to play, if I was even going to play based on how the new was the last, you know, the last few years, then you know, I can't be anything. It's just kid that's up on his life.

And I feel like when the position, that's the police don't ask me being questions, kid. Hasn't been in this shoe. Okay, interesting. So he fair. He said, game one. You asked me a question. I would like to answer.

You, you, you, you ask the question. And then you're like, to be fair, in game one, the entire internet said that Joel and B will never play basketball again.

Like, we ever played competitive, like competitive basketball in game one. In game one of the regular sheets. If you, if you go back and watch that game, that is pretty good. Not move. He could not move and everyone said that we'll never see any competitive version of Joel and B again. And to his defense, he did get back to a sense of he was like a different to make or in a play off series. He was.

So to him, like, I get what he is saying that when going into this season, he thought that he'll never be a competitive basketball player again. And then he got to a point that now he is. I understood because as a team, as a team, I don't think that he would say that this, this was a success because he said for me, which means for me personally, this season was a success for his health. I am okay with that answer.

“Big cat. Josh Hart, you want me to get into that one?”

It's Philadelphia. That's not what I was going to ask that. That was something I was going to ask. I was going to ask, can you please comment on the quote? I used to think Philly was a sports son, I don't know if it is anymore.

Okay, so yeah.

I don't know what we're doing here.

I can just run your playbook. Okay. It is a playbook. We're just talking about the game. You're talking about the game.

You're talking about the game. Philly is broke. What? Philly doesn't have money. Oh, hey.

By the way, I have a question for Hank. Because I think it's a Philly.

“Max, I think you need a little time out with how hot you came in this.”

I just know what you're saying. Hank. Hank. It was a nice day today. Why you weren't such a heavy garment.

That was a little child. That's fair. That's fair. That's a little child. That's a respect.

I can tip my cap to that play. I can tip my cap to that play. I can tip my cap to that play. Hank is wearing his death sweatshirt. Because she wears every time Philly loses anything.

This is hate or sweatshirt. Did you bring that sweatshirt to Vegas? No, no. I genuinely just, you know, I was gone. I literally dropped myself off today.

And like, didn't have a lot of clean clothes. I just threw this on. Yeah. How did you throw that? That's weird.

I should have picked up. Yeah. All right. All right. I thought I knew all the plays didn't know that play.

Here you go. You play up. Tip my cap. Tip my cap to hang. You should have known that play.

That's on me. Okay. Josh Hart.

“I think it's fair to say that after today, it's, it's.”

You can question whether Philadelphia is a basketball down. Oh. Wow. Wow. You can't, you can't.

Wow. There can't be 70% next fans in the building. And you say that or a basketball down. It was a lot. It was a nixong game.

Yeah. And the players I've every right to be angry. Mm-hm. That. Tyre's back.

She said that. He's like it. Yeah. Exactly. It was like it sucks.

Hold on. I'll get his actual quote. But it pretty much was that. Yeah. He said it absolutely sucks.

If I'm being honest, it just sucks. That's really all I can say about it, man. It's hard. It's definitely difficult. It's only way.

One way to put a stop to it. And it's, we have to go out there and win these games. Yeah. I mean, I don't even do play. Yeah.

And the playoffs any time. It's just like you just give up. It's just the nip. Yeah.

Northern Jersey is basically a Philly Subber.

And Northern Jersey has a population. That is bigger than the Philadelphia area. Yeah. And Northern Jersey has more money than the Philadelphia area. Like it is halfway in between Philadelphia and New York City.

So those people are going to buy those tickets, especially when it's a nix team. That every nix fan has like real championship hopes. And right now, the six years were down 30. Everyone in the world knew that the six years weren't going to win this series. Everyone who's a nix fan is like, this could be an all, no, go.

Going into today. Oh. I'm saying today. I'm saying today. Down three, because Friday was bad.

But it wasn't that bad. Like today was really, today was really, really. Today was really bad. But it's over. I mean, again.

It was. No, I'm saying as like, I'm saying as a fan base thing. What about South Jersey? Why isn't South Jersey get their act together? South, South Jersey.

Where's Jerry Hill? Yeah. No, but they got to buy more tickets. South Jersey is a suburb of Philly, not a suburb of New York City. I know.

So they need to buy the tickets. Right. So you guys have more money. You guys see York City has more money. Yes.

Yeah. New York City. Shocking. Yes. Yes.

Pink hat. Okay. Do you know what I'm going to say? Go, go. Oh, you know what I'm going to say.

Do you know what I'm going to say? Sure. Sure. You said you know my whole playbook. You say, you know, a whole playbook on this side of the booth.

Okay. Congrats. Okay. Zach. Do you have any stats for us?

I've got a couple of quotes that were said in this series and I was curious, thoughts on the quotes and some information regarding. No. Quotes. This is.

I remember this fact. It was a research. You didn't. You didn't.

“Remember if podcasts did say who's going to guard Tyre's Maxi, regarding the”

next six years. I already addressed Tyre's Maxi was really bad. I did just a quote. I've already addressed him. It was going to guard him.

The Cal Bridges was very good against Tyre's Maxi.

The first three games of this series.

Yeah. The most personal random points. That's 10 fewer than his regular season average and also he did show a lot of heart and game two played 47 minutes. He also turned over the ball roughly every seven minutes of those minutes.

Okay. I've got another quote from member this podcast. Also, I was wasted during this podcast and memes even said himself that he doesn't hold me accountable for anything I said during that show. I'm not jagged, but yeah, memes is the one who puts that up to this.

I didn't mean you said that. You said I mean, you said that you don't hold me accountable for anything. I texted me. It's going to be quote you. I have.

This is going to be the first time hearing of these. I texted memes at like three o'clock today and I was like, hey, make sure you got like you're ready with the quotes at Max said to you before he's like, oh, I already put sack on to it. I had to do it because I didn't want to do it.

Yeah. Good job, memes. Good guy.

That's just good producing.

We go Connor memes also. I don't think you've continued. Okay. I don't think you've done it more memes ever than you have today. It was a onslaught of memes.

It was some really good ones. There were. There were good ones. I mean, some of them were. Last year's Celtics.

Sorry. Yeah. All right, memes. I mean, I put his face on Bonnie blue.

“I mean, Zach, Zach answer that would be how many can I just how many do we got?”

Okay. I can just like a pair of my stuff. No, I'm like a work. I don't know the end of his matter. Yeah, it could be infinity.

No, no, no, that's illegal. Don't take that from him. Okay. Zach, take it back. Come on.

Whose grip's what he hands? All right. Come on, Zach. All right. Another member of this podcast did say a different member.

You have to do another member.

So there must be somebody else.

I get forever. You're doing great. This is bad. Come on, Max. All right.

I do it on. I'll just, yes, let's keep just keep dunking on me. That's fine. I believe a member of this podcast said, oh, next couldn't play cat this series. Total through four games, which would be the fastest they could have won this series.

61 points, 28 rebounds, 27 assists and 7 blocks. He was very good. I was wrong. I don't know. I'll just keep saying I was wrong.

But we can. We can. Dead story. Dead story. Dead story.

Dead story. Dead story. Yeah, you were dead. I said that to him when we were out at a club. No.

You said that.

“You said that before games, I believe before he was the biggest, before we left”

the biggest. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You're like, there's no way you could play cat in this series. Well, that.

Yeah. And then he took a shot. There was a appendix and game one. But yes. Okay.

That did happen. Wait. He doesn't. Who took a shot to the or expect. Padmix.

Joel and B took a shot. He doesn't have an appendix. And possibly he only won that. That was shot. And we're doing semantics.

He took a shot to his midsection and game one. Yeah. To where is the appendix used to be? Correct. Yeah.

Which you can't get hurt. Which you can't hurt something you don't have. True false. Okay. Okay.

If you get surgery, I'm going to punch you in, it's so hard. I'm not just, I mean, if you said it doesn't hurt, then I didn't say that. I said, no, you said you can't hurt what you don't. Yeah, you can't hurt what you don't have. Yeah.

Okay. I hope, I hope to God, you have to get. I hope you have to get. I hope. I hope to get a testicle removed.

So I just punch you in the ball.

There's a reason Oscar Pistori is never torn ACL.

Okay. Max, you started the semantics battle. You said he took a shot to the appendix. He does not have an appendix. No, that is used.

What? That is used starting this semantics battle. No, you started semantics battle. I said it couldn't have happened faster. And you're like, yeah.

Technically, yeah. Well, that was just dumb. Because it could have happened. Almost as dumb as saying. He took a shot to the appendix when he doesn't have one.

No, because mine was inferred what I was talking about. Yours just didn't make any sense.

“I think if anyone was listening and didn't know, if someone woke up from a coma, they're”

like, oh, that's just one. Jumpy. This is stupid. This is the stupidest thing ever. Zach, continue.

No, the member of this podcast also said. Sixth of starting lineup is the best in the East. I already took that one back. That means memes brought that up. And I was, I already said, I already said I didn't even remember saying.

Yeah, okay, which cannot be true because the next one went four games, the six did ones zero games. Okay. And lastly, we're three and one when the starters are healthy, quick update to that stat.

They're not three and four when the starters are healthy. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it in the math.

Yeah. Because he thought he might have been a little semantic Zach there. Yeah. I counted the John B. Yeah.

No, he did. No, it was a chance I was going to get it. You're going to get the anti-smatter. That's all. Max, I got a question for you.

Yeah. Max. When it comes to the future of the process and the future of the 76ers, where do you go from here? Hmm.

Good question. Thank you. Yeah, we have two young guys. V.J. Edge comes 19 years old.

Yeah. He didn't have a great series this this series. But he's 19. Tyrese Max is still 25 years old. We're getting off the two contracts this year.

We'll see what we can do. Or is he going to say the ages of our players? Yeah. But what do you think the path forward is, because it feels like for a lot of the guys that have been part of this iteration of the sixers, I don't know if it's going to

get any better. This might be the end of the line. PFT. Just put in here under drum and actually younger than you think. Yeah, sure.

Good point. Good point. So he's a piece. No, my point was that we have two guys that are still young and not one of them is in their prime.

One of them isn't even. You can't even say it's close to his prime. He's 19 years old. Yeah. He's contained in being 19 years old for 20 years.

Yeah, all that. So we got one of those guys. He's 39 now. Yep. So yes, this was a what do you need to do to take the next step?

We'll see.

“I mean, I'm not, I don't run this fucking organization.”

So. I just have a question for Hank. Yes. I hate. Great app, by the way.

I appreciate it. That's the association. What? What is it? What is it?

What is it? Yeah. You look like a security guard for. I wear NBA. That's all the time.

What are you talking about? You get the little, but that's a basketball on the side of it. This is what I do. I like to respect the NBA. You know me.

Guys can't get a fit off. Adam. So I'm on the show. We appreciate everything. The NBA does everything around this time of year.

They seem to be on the up and up. Yeah. I just want to support them. It's good product. Talking about is like the NHL playoffs this, hockey that.

Let's have some respect for the NBA. I'm Hank. I have a question for you. So like just pretend that you're in charge of taking over a franchise. It's called like you're a GM, a floating GM.

Okay. Who would you rather be? Who would you rather be right now? The 76ers are the Washington wizards. Got to be the wizards.

Like the future. Yeah. Without a doubt the wizards. Yeah.

I mean, you have an all NBA first teamer.

Anthony Davis. As long as proven he can he can be a clutch player when big playoff games in hostile environments like Philadelphia. And then you have the number one pick like you, you've got a lot of room to build. Don't forget about Sarr.

Yeah. And you got trade Johnson. He's a sniper. Yeah. All right.

That's it. I have a question for you. Yeah. I have a question for you. Yeah.

I have a question for you. I have a question for you. Yeah. I have a question for you. I have a question for you.

Yeah. I have a question for you. I have a question for you. I have a question for you. So I mean, if you lost this question.

If you lost this six or two team, you suck. Because this six or two team is not very good. They're old.

“So yeah, I think I'd say the Washington wizards.”

I think I'd rather be a wizards fan. All right. Good answer. Thank you. Hey.

I bet it's a wrong answer. But that's fine. Obviously, you should be a wizards fan. Okay. Well, I mean, I mean, the seller started a hard start player.

No, actually Jason Tadev, I don't know if you saw the Instagram story. Oh, they must play side. Very much had Jaylin Browns back per usual. I mean, he's trying to break him up. But again, yes.

I mean, nothing to do with the Twitch stream 24 hours out through all. If you have, if you have a, who needs to start playing Jaylin Browns, Jayl, just the back that he comes back. Who could have started this narrative for Jaylin Browns? Yeah.

It's actually all looking for the guy. You've literally just did the exact same thing I did with Joe L and B of that. It was a successful season from game on to now. What do you mean? That he got, it was able to be healthy enough to compete.

He wasn't even. I mean, game seven, if he played is probably goes differently. But that's that should be helpful. It's helpful in the play. That's, and that's.

That's, I don't, that's, that's, you can't, you can't use those excuses. You just did. I'm just saying, you literally, we're talking about the future. We're talking about the future. I'm not looking at the fact that we lost the sixers this year.

It's only we are fully healthy team. Again, you got the sixers. You got the sixers. Very square. I'm saying for the future, this team has proven that they can win a championship.

“The sixers have as, has this team, Jason that they can win a championship.”

Okay. Two best players and coach. Yes. Two best players and coach. Nothing.

This team has two. They've made finals. They made multiple conference finals. And they've won an NBA team. It's not this one.

He hasn't gone out of the second round.

It is round. This team. The star players have. The star players and the coaches. Yeah.

Star players are right when you have. Seven, other star players. The team. The core. So we all agree the wizards.

Everything. Yes. It has star players and a core. That's how teams are built, Max. Yeah.

Your core was awesome. Hell of a core. Unfortunately, that core is no longer there. But the, no. The core is.

Yeah. The core. The core. We all agree. Every team has star players and the core.

Is it the star players or is it the core? We have both. You said every team has star players and players are no longer there. So the role players and every team role players go in and out. Problem though is our star players and our core.

One of you. You're like a bad athlete. You might have a rotten core. Right. That.

Yeah. That's something you got to do with internally. I'm going to keep that out. That's a worm. We're going around.

But Brad's even decided. Mm-hmm. Okay. Okay. Hey, memes.

Has Max anything nice to you? Has he congratulated you as he gets sport? Oh, Max has been. Max has been extremely nice. Yeah.

I think he knew. Yeah, he knew. All right. Yes.

I set it going into the first round.

I set it during that series that I didn't believe in. It wasn't until game 7 that I set a single positive thing about the 6th. True. And I was fucking wasted. And I was going off of like an all-time high of an all-time weekend.

And where it's my bachelor party. Yeah. It's about the guy. Huh? Explain the high.

He was going off an all-time high. I feel like. It was a great weekend. He's extra. I was, yeah, I was, I was an amped up.

Max is like, yeah. Ready to go. You're ready. All-time high. He's ready to absorb any punch.

You got such fucking losers. Yeah. It's like actually laughable. It's actually laughable. The two guys on that desk are literally the two biggest losers of all-time.

Yeah. Yeah.

I remember doing that a billion times.

Where is the process? Yeah. B.J. Edgham's 19 years old. So that's still the process is still a lot. The process is the process.

Until the process has been processed. I get another question, Max. Wow. You guys, you and I share somebody in their lives. Josh Harris.

Josh Harris. Absolutely. Yeah. The City Philadelphia seems to have turned on Josh Harris.

“And I think they believe that he's, he did a good job with the commander's last year, right?”

Oh, he doesn't play the sport. Starplay was injured. We got, we got a brand new stadium. That's sick. Yeah.

That's the best thing that he's done. Yeah. That's a huge accomplishment for him. He's been playing. Listen, it's hard to hang a band for him.

Yeah. I will. I will. I will. I will.

But Max is a lot of.

What I say is like, I'm hearing a lot of sixious fans that that hate

Josh Harris now and because they think that he cares only about the commanders and not about the sixiers anymore. Do you feel that same way? I just think he's a bad owner who doesn't know how to build an organization. Okay.

So I'm happy. I'm happy that he's a great. A great disagree. Yeah. With what?

He's a bad owner that doesn't know how to build orders. I think Max hit the nail. He's not a basketball guy. Yeah. What he's doing?

He says bad owner that doesn't know how to build orders. Bad basketball owner. Yeah.

“I'll let PFT think whatever he wants to think.”

Yeah. Bad basketball owner. I agree. That's not what he says. Anything else?

Mm-hmm. Do you have any questions? Yeah. How are you feeling? Because this was, I know that I don't want to talk about the exact time that this happened

because I don't want to get back into it, you know, a time debate.

But it did happen quickly. It happened. It couldn't have happened quicker. Honestly. I was.

We were, we were in LA and then I was in San Diego and I was at a wedding. Like, I didn't. I was excited for the memes and Max little back and forth. If it was going to go to game seven, the would have been to start the great week. Would have been great for the show.

So like, back in my wearing my producer had him like, "Oh, this is good. Good for us. Good for the show." Nothing. Nothing.

By the, I just won show. I miss one show and the series was over. Yeah. I didn't get a chance to talk about the series once. It just ended.

Didn't get to see them, you know, going back and forth in the office. It was just, it was just over. And that, that sucks for me. It sucks for the fans. It sucks for everyone.

I got sucks for him. Hey, why don't we do that? Let's just pretend that game five is Tuesday night. And we'll just recap that. Yeah, I'm down.

Okay. Because you did get robbed. But it is, it is. Zach and memes. It's exciting for them.

It's, it's, they look like the best team in the NBA. They look on stuff. I mean, today, no one was beating them. I don't think it was. I don't think, like, I, I would, I would be shocked if this team doesn't.

No. And it's awesome. Yeah. If they have an answer for it. Oh, no.

Now Hank is just going on to. He's, he's, he's the grim Reaper going through going through doors. And he's like, the sixes are dead. Let me just go try and kill the next. No, you do do do.

That way that no one's killing the next. Yeah. No one, no one is killing that next. Do you agree with what Hank is saying right now? I, I, I know what he's doing.

But I love the sound of it. Yeah. So you're going to fall for it. Yeah. And if everybody here wants to say more nice things about the next.

“I don't, I will listen. I mean, who do you want to want the pistons or the calves?”

It doesn't matter. The pistons, the pistons, the pistons. The pistons, the pistons. The pistons won the suit. The cast came in on the road.

All right. So let's talk about that game real quick. That was Saturday was calves, pistons, game three. And we had essentially a freaky Friday episode at the end of the game, where cave cunning him.

I think it three straight turnovers and James hardened, had three straight. I so ball, everyone get out of the way pockets. He went floater, another two, and then a three to seal the game. And I'm happy for James Harden. He actually was asked out.

There's like, how do you do with all the chatter? He's like, what chatter? And I believe him. I don't think James Harden listens to anything. Why, why would you?

Yeah. We'll be the point if you're James Harden. Like, there, no one's saying anything good about you. No. You don't have it.

There's not to be James Harden defenders out there. We are officially, of course. Of course. So guys that we found out, Zach, you got to become the biggest James Harden guy. You confirmed already, James Harden guy.

Yep. We're going to defend James Harden. The guy seems like he knows how to have a great time. Right. So I'm going to be in that guy's corner.

And he was great down the end. But at the end of the game. I mean, he was bad for mostly the game. But he's really really bad. But then at the end, yeah.

He kind of figured it out for the last few possessions. I'm happy for the calves. I don't, I don't necessarily agree with memes that it's over though. I don't think that this series is over at all memes. The calves can't win on the road until now.

That's true. No, they haven't. They lost every game in turn to not. But until now, I'm saying, like, they could win on the road. Factually, they could.

Technically. Technically. Yeah. I mean, you would just want the calves because of home court.

And I just want, I mainly just want this series to go seven. Just kill each other. Does you, I saw a very funny fan fear.

“I don't know if it's a theory or just I just never put it together.”

But there was like a, someone was tweeting about down at the Mitchell.

And they basically said down at the Mitchell, like, should be way taller than he is.

And he just stopped growing because I don't know if you could. So he's he's six one. Yeah. What do you think his wingspan is? Hmm.

Seven feet. He's six ten wingspan. What do you think is shoe sizes? No idea. 17.

Yeah. That's pretty crazy. He just stopped growing. Yeah. He should be taller.

His spine. Yeah. Yeah. His spine. He like six one.

17 upside down. Yeah. 17 size 17 shoes. Six one is pretty crazy. That is not to.

Yeah. And six ten wingspan. I just like this theory. That's like it's not his fault. If he has a bad game, it's not his fault.

He should have just been taller. Yeah. They're still tall. Yeah. There could be still time.

Yeah. And for James Harden, I do think this is like.

“I think this series probably is going to go.”

I don't know. I mean, like they're both not. They both have their fault. Kate Cunningham is the best player in this series.

And that was the difference in that game is that he for the for first time in a few games.

He had like a poor ending to a game where that's that's usually when Kate Cunningham just kicks everyone's ass. He's like, Oh, yeah. I'm better than everyone in this series. He's still had a triple double. But it was those last few possessions.

That's not the whole game. But if Kate Cunningham is just the best player at the end of a game, then the piss and should win. But I don't know. I just want more basketball at this point because we lost. You know, the sixers.

The Lakers Thunder Series is the most non competitive series. Yeah. It's trash. Except for the second halves. I would like.

I was still a little bit blown away every time. Tobias Harris goes out there and has a good game in playoffs. He did. He's been playing well. Yeah.

And Duncan Robinson has been like hitting threes, which is, you know, it changes everything for the pistons when he's when he's doing that. I just, yeah, I mean, I would take the pistons in this series, but I'm down for James Hard to maybe get into a game six or seven. I want to see games seven James. Oh, Max. Spinzone.

Joe and bead. Want to know when game seven is this year. Great. Okay. But Max, it was nice.

If you were to, if it was a nice thing, I just said about you.

If you're to rank the the best second round losses over the course of Joe L and beads career, where would this one go?

Hmm.

“I think this one would probably be number one, right?”

Because of the hangover of the well, because of the, yeah, it was a successful season. Yep. And also because I mean, he did have 24 points on perfect shooting midway through the third quarter, right? Everyone knows that. Yeah.

And it also because you beat the, the Celtics in the first round. That's what I'm saying. I feel like this playoff, second round loss from Joe L and bead is probably the best one of his career. I agree. I disagree.

Oh. What's better? He was very good in that rat and that, uh, the, the, the, the playoffs where they lost the raptors. Okay. So that's one.

Can we get a ranking maybe? Yeah. That's one. This is the answer to that. Oh no.

Hank, can you find the rest of the parents? Yeah. Hank, hankledo. Hank's gonna get the rankings. But yeah.

I, uh, I do want to see James Harden in like a big time game six elimination game. That would just be fun. Yeah. Yeah. Big game chips.

Yes. So the Lakers thunder series. I, I mean, we've talked about it. But it's just the thunder are just so much better. And I know that there's been complaining about the refs and all the stuff.

It doesn't matter. There's not a bit matter. Last six here. No. You got the rings.

Off top of your head. What would you rank up? So the worst. I mean, the, at the bottom is probably 20, 22 against the heat. He didn't play in two games to the game.

He played, and they won, and two, they lost. So that's kind of a nothing. Okay. Uh, and then, I mean, it's, it's tough. There's so many good ones.

I think I would have to put this. Twenty, twenty, three against the Celtics. I was game seven. Then I would go this year against the next. Then the Hawks, the one who could forget that.

That was, that was the Ben Simmons trio. Yeah. Can't, can't imagine blowing a three one lead. Then I know, but the way that one all went down. I can't imagine blowing a three one lead.

But his, his super star was hurt. Can't imagine. And your super star doesn't pass up a lap. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Then we'll have to go with. 2019 Raptors. Who could forget that? Iconic game seven.

And then he got him a number one. 2017 against the Celtics. Confetti. Oh, the confetti game. Yeah.

That was tough. That was tough.

Great rankings. Some classics. Really good. Yeah. Great rankings.

Yeah. The, the, the Lakers under. I mean, what are we doing? It's over. It was over before they even tipped.

“The, the Lakers yet again had a half time lead.”

Good job. Mm-hmm.

They've been very competitive in the first house.

And then they just get smoked in a second. And then just old. Just old and slow and tired. And the, like the, the Thunder just have dudes for days. They, AJ Mitchell has been insane.

He's getting paid nothing. And it's just the Thunder like the perfectly constructed roster. And I know people are upset about it. And I, I'm, I've chosen to just be like, I'm going to enjoy the fact that they're just better. You're just better at basketball than ever.

Do the, the Thunder also have like two lottery picks that don't play. Yeah. It's pretty cool topic. Yeah. I can't remember who the other one is.

But yeah. They, it's, it's nuts. It's nuts. How deep they are. And yeah, they're going to steam roll the Lakers for games.

And then I don't know. The, the play I've stolen start for the Thunder until the conference finals. Yeah. That's what we've said from the get go. Now the question is going to be.

We're going to have this, this talk on Monday night. Um, is this LeBron James last game? I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so.

I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. No.

You don't think so. Max. He's he's 41. But he is a guy that's going. When he retired, he's going to let people know he's retired.

Right. I thought so too until he started playing golf all the time.

“And now I think he's going to be like, you know what?”

This is kind of awesome. I'm just going to play golf. I think, I think the golfing, the golf bug might have convinced LeBron James to, to forego another full year in the NBA. Stop playing golf for you.

Yeah, you just spent time with this song. He can golf on his on the road. He can, he's still got another year where he can be one foot in one foot out. At least this is last game for the Lakers. Oh, I like that.

He was just on the bench while I was talking. He was just staring at him. Yeah. When they were down when they were down 20s. Yeah, they don't really, I mean, the Lakers were kind of in a weird spot, too,

because like, awesome players. Another one where they're going to have to pay him a lot of money. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, certainly.

We'll get out. Yeah. You got to say the start point. Would you rather be the Lakers or the Wizards? Probably the Wizards.

The problem with the Lakers are, they're, they're a good team, because Lucas, obviously, a superstar, but they're whatever you want to say.

“The third, fourth, fifth, you know, if you want to throw the Tim Rolls in there,”

so let's say there's a fourth best team in the West. The difference between the spurs and the thunder and the Lakers is so vast. It's crazy. It doesn't matter. It's like, you could make the argument, like, oh, yeah, we're competitive in the West.

No, you want. And you go into the playoffs. I think you would have said, like, the nuggets might be in that conversation, but you can't say that anymore. No, you don't say that after what happened. Yeah.

Yeah. I think, you know what, the West might be getable now. We were just talking about how, like, the West has been the dominant conference for the last, what, 25 years in the NBA. They've got two really good teams at the top and outside of that.

I just don't know. So getable, you mean by, what do you mean by getable by the East? In the future, like, if I'm the East, I'm thinking of myself, like, in the next five years, we could take it over to West, like, we're going to be the dominant conference.

The problem is those two teams are so much better than anyone that's currently constructed.

Right. I don't understand, it's under just like, they're just so perfectly constructed. It's just there's nothing you can do about it. And all around great team. Yeah.

They're, they're incredible. And we're going to talk about the timber rolls spurs game after biz because it's going on right now. Wemby ejected in the second quarter for a flagrant too, which he had no idea what it was. The flagrant did. He said, what does that mean?

Kiss kiss. They're like, dude, you're out. All right. Before we talk about some more stuff, real quick from our friends at Jose Queirovo. When Queirovo enters every moment, just gets better.

“So I think we got another one coming Wednesday.”

Good job boys. We had nicks. Bronson points. Wemby rebounds easy work. Uh, but next story NBA draft lottery happened.

PFT congratulations. The Washington wizards are officially on the clock. The wizard back. We're so back. And that also means the wizard open for business.

Because I'm seeing a lot of fan fiction about trading for the number one overall pick.

Mostly centered around the idea that that Utah needs AJ to stay in the state that there's so many powerful people that love him in Utah.

That are like we're going to do whatever it takes to keep him in. So I did I I have some ideas. I will be listening to some offers for that. But I'm just pumped. I'm pumped for the wizards.

We've been the worst team. Maybe in sports in the last 50 years. Uh, I believe it's been was a 1978 was the last time we made a conference finals. That's the longest in any any team in any sport. We've been really really fucking bad for like the last 30 years.

It's really funny to say that out loud after the first 25 minutes of this show. Yeah. Yeah. Really bad. Like we did a dog chip team.

We kind of puts it all. Yeah. No, the wizards have been objectively smoking. Not a not a team. They haven't been a team.

I've I say it all the time that they're the least consequential franchise in professional sports.

“I think now that the Buffalo Sabers are doing some work in the playoffs.”

It's probably just 100% to watch in wizards until now the process worked. I'm a big process guy. We did the process. We got two top four picks when the span of about three years. I want AJ debate say.

Well, if that rotates the process working. Yeah. Okay. What's your question? I had plenty of top three picks.

Yeah. The process worked. Okay. It's a success. Agreed.

Okay. We're in agreement then agreed. Yep. We're on the same page. Yeah.

So I'm I'm very I'm optimistic.

I can't wait to get excited about a basketball team for what feels like the first time in my adult life.

So there have been like a couple years where the wizards have been good here and there. They've been objectively awful for the last like I'd say seven seasons. But the thing is they like wasted four of those really shitty seasons because they weren't like trying to be really bad. They weren't like doing the actual process. They weren't making the the personnel moves behind the scenes to stockpile assets and to get pieces in place.

And now we got the guy from Oklahoma City running the show. It's been cool to see a guy put a plan into place three years ago. And then see it actually start to work and get results from it. So have no idea what's going to happen with this team. But very excited.

I think AJ to bands that has to be the pick. I think that's got to be the pick. I've seen it in your hand dude. Yeah. It's probably going to be AJ.

I'm just got to be honest with you. Probably AJ. And I'm just pumped. I'm excited for for the wizards to be somewhat relevant again. And I said it before the draft lottery I'll say it now.

I think that play in or bus next year. Okay. And if Anthony Davis stays healthy. I think we might be like 60 if he stays healthy. Yeah.

We might be like the 60 maybe the fifth seed next year. I do have one tweak to the draft lottery though. It would be nice if you had to do the draft like 10 minutes after the lottery. So like the GMs show up. You get the order.

Okay. Everyone go to your back room. We're calling you back out in 10 minutes. All the players are here.

“All right. Go for it. Now you have to pick the rock.”

The good job by Adam Silver last year with the Dallas situation. Everyone's like rigged. This is the last year that we're going to have the like true tanking because they're flattening the odds and all that stuff.

Good job because he basically rewarded outside of the nets and the pacers he rewarded the worst teams.

So got everyone back on like oh that worked. Because the Wizards, the Jazz and Grizzlies were truly tanking pretty much the entire year. The bulls getting the fourth pick was so huge because that was they were slotted the ninth. I think that at 20% chances go up to the fourth it's a loaded draft. They did the dumb thing of only taking for half the year and it ended up working out because this is going to be awesome.

I want Caleb once Wilson's so bad. He's got the forgotten guy in the strap. We have because he's got her in March.

Yeah. Yeah.

“I don't think I don't think Booz is going to be good.”

Booz's got to go to the Grizzlies. He's got to go to the Grizzlies. He's got to go to the Grizzlies. His dad played here. Boozard looks like a Grizzly though. Yeah, he does.

He looks like a Grizzly. I'll say this, I wouldn't be talking about the pick. I wouldn't be talking about the pick. I wouldn't be talking about the pick. I wouldn't be talking about the pick.

I won't be upset about Boozard. I do think Boozard has the highest floor lowest ceiling. That's what I've been saying. Yeah. That's boss proof.

Yeah. I don't think he's going to be, like some of these, like Caleb Wilson could be a superstar. AJ defense could be a superstar. Darren Peterson. If he just stops taking creatine, could be a superstar.

Right. If Boozard has a career like his dad, objectively speaking, that's going to be an awesome career. Yeah. But I think that that's kind of his ceiling. Yeah.

Everybody's going to be. He's a super smart player. I just don't think he's, he's like exceptionally explosive. Either way it's awesome for the Bulls because the Bulls had like, it's been just absolute shit and nothing to look forward to.

And now we'll get at least a guy that I'm going to be very excited about. And I did see the take. I love whenever this take comes out. I think it was Jeff Goodman, who's a king of bad takes, who's like,

I talked to some league executives and being the third or fourth pick.

Actually, he's wherever it wants to be because you get the decision taken out of your hands. I still think you'd want to have number one. You'd rather have the first pick out. But then if you're like, like, some GM's going to, they're going to have to figure out if they want to take AJ or Darren Peterson. If you're the third or fourth pick, you just take the other guy and it's good.

It's a loser take. And it's something that I would actually agree with if I wasn't GM,

“but that's why you don't want me as a GM running your team.”

Yeah. It's like I can blame everybody else but myself. I would want to want number one pick because then I take kill Willes. There you go. And you dictate the terms on him.

Big losers though, Pacers. Yeah. That was brutal. They had to stay in the top four. They have the season.

Obviously, going to the NBA finals, having Tariys Halbert and getting hurt in game seven, a season where they were tanking. But it's also injury. So it was like, hey, we'll have a bad season. And then they make that trade for Zubak and they lose their pick at slot at five. The clippers get the fifth pick.

Crazy. Crazy spin of events. And also the nets, the nets kind of, they were a tank commander. They were just tanking so hard. Yeah.

I did end up with the six pick. I did like how the Pacers GM was like, I took a shot. Yeah. I knew it was like, I'm sorry. I knew it was going to be a 50-50 gamble.

But we got a good center. I had to take a gamble on it. And it almost paid off. Yeah. So like, I appreciate the honesty from I think Pacers fans have to agree.

But again, the Pacers are the only team in the NBA that's never had the number one overall pick.

And never had a number one overall pick ever played for them. And the history of the franchise, which is kind of crazy. They've never had the number one pick and traded it. They've never traded for it and traded it again. And they've just never touched a number one pick.

The entire franchise. Fun fact, the wizards.

“Can you guess the last time the wizards had 50 wins?”

Mm. 2007. No. Max. 2008.

No. It was a 1978. 1978. I thought a ringer. You're a loser, Max.

Yeah. You're a loser. But also, I'm pumped. I can't stress enough how excited. I got to see some fun basketball in the John Waller.

They got cut short because he fell down in his house and towards Achilles. I got to see some fun basketball in the Gilbert Arena's era. They got cut short because they tried to shoot each other. And I got to see some fun basketball in the Michael Jordan era. That got cut short because Michael Jordan was old and washed.

But I've never had like this much optimism with like a young core that's getting built up together.

I'm pumped. I mean, this isn't very young. True. But if healthy. Yeah.

If healthy. The amount of games are he's missed. He's played a relatively low amount of games. That's true. He's young.

Yeah. He also just has the number one pick written all over him because he was the number one pick. Right. And then he. The pelicans traded him.

Got the number one pick. Mm-hmm. The wizard's traded for him. Got the number one pick. Mm-hmm.

The wizard's traded for him. Got the number one pick. Where ever he goes. Mm-hmm. Number one picks.

Just follow. I do have a trade offer for the for Utah for the state of Utah. I will trade you the number one pick, which I'm assuming you'll use to take AJ to ban some. Okay.

In exchange. I would like the second pick. Mm-hmm. I would like ace Bailey. Mm-hmm.

I would like the Xamuth. Mm-hmm. The Xamboni that your hockey team has. And then I will give you. Did my ride better go with that?

You get the Xamuth. Yeah. You get the Xamuth. Yeah. It can be.

And then DC will send Mitt Romney back to Utah. So you'll take on that contract. Okay. And that's my offer. Let me know if you accept the terms.

You have 24 hours. Mm-hmm. We expect it. I think it's fair. Did any age?

Didn't know where we are. Did any men in this office? Did any age? You know, Danny age. He probably would try to get the first pick even if it wasn't a guy from Utah.

He just loves to make deals. Yeah. Danny, you found I'm sympathico. We both like to make deals. Yeah.

Do me call. Give them a call. Okay. Anything else before we do? Who's back in the week?

Did you guys see the Hank? Your UFC evaluation? Yeah.

“I watched the first two fights before I went to bed.”

Oh, you did? Yeah. You are UFC expert. And then I woke up and saw that's trickle one. Yeah.

What do you think about trickle one? I don't know. I don't know. He's very violent. The Dagestan wrestling.

I like it when someone else wins. Yeah. It's better for the sport of UFC.

I was just riding him in the first round.

I mean, we saw that as like the fight that we saw. It's like it's not as fun to watch. So I think it's more exciting when. But I saw a lot of the kind of crazy that trickle one basically was like, yeah, we're just doing a work. Like we're actually cool.

Yeah. It touched us before. And they were talking so much ship before. And then he's like known for being a super abrasive shit talker. And then afterwards, he said, yeah, no, I love him.

Like we're boys. Good self fights. Yeah. He said it's like no one knows who's in the UFC right now. I have to self fights.

I like when when when boxers and UFC fighters do that. Like my job is self fights. That you don't care. Yeah. His face looked fucked up after.

Good fight though. It's fun. I think it was controversial. I don't know. It's hard to judge the wrestling.

Yeah. People with thought maybe it was controversial. I don't know.

“I know the chantriclin is just, I think two.”

I think he's got two of like the biggest underdog wins possibly. He was he was a massive underdog in his fight. So good for him. Okay. Let's do who's back the week.

Who's back the week is brought to you by our friends at Twisted T. We love Twisted T. Just think about those big moments like in Vegas. You can be in the Celtics game seven. We're having some Twisted T having to have it a great time.

That's an amazing moment for the six.

Yeah. Summer is right around the corner. Twisted T is coming in clutch to turn our day drinking up a notch. Their new summer party pack has a brand new Twisted T. Twisted Lemonade made with real lemons.

It's five percent alcohol. It's got that refreshing taste with a little kick. No carbonation goes down smooth. I'm going to try this. That's breaking to me.

That's amazing. That's huge. That's amazing. So Swisted Lemonade brand new Twisted Lemonade. Whether it's hitting the course for around pre-gaming a ball game or inviting the guys

over for some backyard grilling the new Twisted T. Summer party pack is perfect to keep the good times rolling. Grab a refreshing Twisted T today. Okay. Who's back the week?

Like who's back the week? I apologize if you guys talked about this Thursday. But aliens. No. You didn't really talk about it.

Yeah. Ali aliens are back. Yeah. Winby. I don't.

This is like the 10th time this has happened. Where it's like oh shit. Kind of like the obscene files where it's like oh the obscene files

are finally getting released.

And then like a little crumb comes out here. Crumb comes out there. They released 150 pages of documents that government did about aliens proven their existence. A couple videos, a couple pictures.

But still. No aliens. No aliens yet. Yeah. They just know that they can do the we're releasing alien files

and people will be like oh that's interesting. I'm going to listen to that. Because we want to know. I did see one aliens. Yeah.

I saw one thing. I think. You wait. You're seeing. You do want aliens.

I think aliens are posses. Discrete. They're probably listening right now. I had no problem saying it. You can't want something about it.

They can't win on the road. No. You like to just call these things out. That could fuck you. You do.

Getting fucked by an alien can be kind of cool. Like what all we do is talk about aliens. They're going to come blow up Earth. Do it that. Tell me that though.

Enough talk. What if they do? Well then I'll say hand up. I fucked that. I fucked that one up guys.

COVID. I messed that one up. COVID. Hand to virus. They were talking to the religious leaders and they were like hey just so you know.

You might want to prepare everybody that goes to your services because aliens just invented us. And that's going to come out soon. Huh. Which would be.

I don't say that. That was a rumor that was going around. I had to be clear. I don't think that aliens exist in the way that we think about them. Like little green men are like flying saucers or anything like that.

Well the saucers didn't see the jet. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't think like a saucer. I don't think that it's aliens though.

No. A little pussy boys. I think it's our technology. And we like to act. I don't think that they found the technology and the 50s name and slowly rolling out.

No. No. I think that we do something.

“I think that we have our own technology.”

And then we talk about it being aliens and ship because then other countries are like oh damn they've got they've got alien technology. We better spend a lot of money trying to find our own alien technology.

Here's my real take on aliens.

I think they exist.

“I think it's tremendously egotistical of us to think that they're coming here.”

The universe is so fucking huge. You think they're like oh yeah we got to go get those guys. They don't give a fuck about us. They've been here. They've been here.

They've been here. Yeah. Where's their actual proof? Every day is teasing. We go to LA for one day and Hank's a Scientologist already.

I do think aliens exist. Because the universe is so fucking big. It just has to. But I don't think they're coming here. I don't think it's a little green man that are like getting into their spaceship with

their death ray. I think they might already do. They want to be boys about it and like come and hang and you know like play like me team with Nikki Smokes. I'm cool with that.

But I don't really care. We just freak out about these things. We're proof. I think they're in the ocean. Yeah.

Antarctica. Yeah, underneath. Dante. I think I think they're underneath the ocean. I heard Dante killed his set on Saturday night.

Absolutely. Obviously. No, that was per Dante. Yeah. Yeah.

He said I got crushed it. I knew he was. He did a set. It was crushed. So wait.

“What was the most explosive thing in the alien thing that that happened?”

The one that I saw that was it was like the picture of like it looked like the jet. But it was like alien. Spacecraft. And there was a bunch of which I don't know if that's like the 50s or whatever. Whereas like there was you know.

Confirmed reports and like people a group of people back in the day that saw aliens. They took all their reports and then just like kept it hidden. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

I just say there's also a story about an alien getting invited to the White House to like hang out with the White Eyes and our. I'm just saying it's kind of like the F.C. if I were people just keep talking about it and like just give us all everything. Just tell us everything it's like I think the government is still just like there's low playing in. And then probably is more stuff that would freak people out that they're intentionally not showing us. It's truly probably freaked out.

I can handle it. Yeah. I think I'd be the calmest you'd ever. I think they exist. I mean, I'm being honest.

So I say they there's other life forms somewhere out there. What what's that? We got to respect aliens. Yes. We got to we got to men like this.

You think they're listening to this right now? I feel like they pick up all sorts of airways. I think they listen everything. Do you imagine if we had just a shit little alien downloads? I would be sick.

They like twist the T. Got to get them on. Yeah. To be a.

“Imagine if aliens showed up and we showed them like a.”

Twisted T an alcoholic beverage and they're like, holy fuck. This is awesome. Yeah. And then they just forgot what they were going to do. I don't want to waste it.

Yeah. I don't want to fight anymore. Got them to go to a frat party. Yeah. Let's screw it out.

We would haze the fuck out of aliens. They would not have. Dude. Throw aliens in a in a like a shitty Iowa city basement. That's wet with a with a handle of cheap vodka.

They would know what to do. No. They would have no fucking idea what to do. If they landed and they're like, I want to talk to you later. Who are we sending?

Mincey. Sped. Mincey. They would turn right around. He pulls up his pants.

You can't. You can't.

You can't probe a man who's always keeping his pants on.

Mincey just starts talking about the world series. He's like, sorry. We're out of here. We're fucking out. Why it's very panic.

We're out. Okay. Good. Good. Who's back?

But I want more. Same. I want to see P and V alien. Yeah. I do.

Click that. Okay. PFT. My who's back is the FIFA World Cup. Oh, because everybody was saying a couple of weeks ago that FIFA is a corrupt organization.

blah, blah, blah. They're going to charge people so much money. That's $200 to take the train. They're so greedy. blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

A bunch of haters. And then FIFA was like, fine. We'll give you some real. We'll give you some civic pride in some city spirit. We're least a bunch of jerseys for the individual cities that are going to be hosting World

Cup games this summer for $400 each. You can buy a Boston World FIFA World Cup home. $2,026 official uniform. Limited vision. Yeah.

FIFA doesn't like you a fuck. They are just, they're running up the score right now. They don't care how corrupt you say they are. They don't care how greedy you say. They're even openly saying like, yeah, we want to learn from Americans.

In terms of how to commercialize every sport to its maximum potential. Because soccer has not yet begun to do that.

And so basically what they're saying is we're fully comfortable making this the worst world

Cup that you've ever seen. Yeah. Listen. If they do some memorabilia, I've recently become a little bit of a memorabilia guy. So if it's big enough, I'll buy it.

I bought the Boise the Boise state blue turf. I bought a piece of that. I bought a get charged up 43 foot long banner from Qualcomm. I got the bill's trough. I'm in the market.

Have you seen these jerseys?

And the jerseys, I don't want jerseys.

“I put it like if they want to sell me like a giant soccer ball.”

That's outside of one of the stadiums. I'm in. Do you like the the Massachusetts one, huh? Yeah. The big last one.

The lobster one is probably the best. If you had to pick one. The Seattle one's cool too. For the cities. Yeah.

Yeah. You're 100%. You know what? Get the whole city's my way. I'm going to have to get the whole set.

The Boston one is the best. You're right to Seattle. The Kansas City is just like people playing soccer. I don't understand. What about Kansas City?

That one is. But yeah. FIFA's agreed is a hundred percent back. And then also skip and see if they're back because they had. Oh yeah.

They did first take on Friday morning. And it was.

It's like they never stopped doing it.

It was like it took me right back to 2016 playing the hits. There was a little tea bowl. Discussion just has a treat for for those of us. They're die hard skip fans. They had skip to his top 10 NBA players of all time.

He had LeBron at number nine genius, which was just a perfect genius. Like to put him at nine. Yeah. That's just why he's so good at it because you could easily just keep him off the list. Nine.

Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine is such a funny place.

Like if he had him at three, it's a non-topic. There's some people who have LeBron at three. He had him at nine. Do we have to get it? He's sure that he was ranked.

Yeah. But it was nine. Do we have his official top 10 list? Yeah. Because they're Jordan Magic, Jack.

Kareem, Tim Duncan, Bill Russell, Kobe, Larry Bird, LeBron at nine. We'll take that. It's great. Much gets hard. Larry Bird at number eight is awesome.

He said the eight players above him are all cold blooded killers. LeBron james over many years is proven to be the most mentally fragile, super star. I've ever closely observed. Still got it. Still got it.

It was great television. Still got it. I'm going to watch every time they put those two together. Yeah. I mean, it was nine.

I laughed so hard at nine. It's just a perfect, perfect rank to just piss enough people off. Okay. My who's back the week is Great Week.

Because we're going on Monday is the first day of Great Week.

This next Monday. We're doing old school. Like we did the first two years, week leading up to Memorial Day. But I bring this up because I need the AWL's help. Where are we sending submissions?

PMT, bachelor party at Gmail. Love that. PMT, bachelor party at Gmail.com. Here's what we need. And I'm not going to give too many details.

We could probably assume what this is going to be. We are trying to find a ideally a construction site. They would allow us to work for free labor for an hour or so in the Greater Jacksonville area. If we can't find a construction site and AWL who maybe has like a swing set they want built or something like a little little shed in the factory.

We got to do more than it. We got to do it full day. Yeah. But like again, I'm not going to give away who we might be doing this with. But let's just say the boys want to get on a construction site.

Smoke some sigs hang out. But I think there's probably some legalities into just letting us on an actual construction site. So it's most likely going to be an AWL in the Jacksonville area who would potentially who would be willing to take Monday off and let us come to your backyard and build something for you. And when I say build something for you, I mean we're going to try to start building it.

No promises that we get it built.

“And you should probably have the thing that we're going to build.”

Correct. Otherwise we're going to show up with something to build and you might not like it. But someday you could say, hey, you see that swing set. You see that shed. You see that table.

PMT and Blake portals built it. Yep. Not naming names. Maybe a barn to some homage barn raising. Again, we're not.

We're not agreeing to completing it. We're agreeing to hanging out and trying to complete it. To doing it. We're doing it. Yeah, we're going to do it. Yeah, and you also need to have the tools. We're going to do a build.

And you also need to know how to use the tools. But we're going to be there. Again, if there's a, if there's a form in or a general contract with listings, like, hey, I can get these guys. They can just get the brooms going a little bit.

You know, maybe dig a little bit of a hole or something. Something easy. We're down to go to a real construction site. I just know that there might be some issues with that. What are you laughing about that?

I mean, I'm laughing. I'm looking at the, at the Gmail right now of the PMT Boucher party.

“And I just said, how did the Washington Post get this email?”

Because the Washington Post, I feel like, is in every Gmail account just spamming. But this, this, this, this email hasn't been submitted to anything. How did this end up on a subscriber? I'm sure somebody out there has entered it. Oh, fuck. That makes sense.

Yeah. Got to, got to, mystery solves. Either way, we need to be there. AWS help. I think it's going to be a very funny video.

Someone help me. 18. Yep.

May 18th, Jacksonville area.

Let us know. We'll bring the beer. We'll bring the twist to tea. And, uh, sex. We'll bring the sex.

Bring the sex. And we're just going to, we're going to try to build some shit. What are you looking at now, Max? Uh, this is a girl that wants to date that. Oh, I'm looking at the emails.

Would like to apply to be Zack's future fiancee, and you're ticket to another bachelor party in Vegas. I'm in the Chicago area soon to be nine time eight of you. Okay. She's the perfect.

I feel I am the perfect candidate for this role. How old is she? 29. Okay. Zack.

28. 28. 28. She jumps straight to a fiancee though. I feel like we're missing some steps there.

Yeah. She's trying to just get us a bachelor party. Sure. Good on her. Great move.

Love that move.

“What does Zack just started getting engaged every year?”

And then breaking it off. Yeah. You just kept on buying a bachelor parties. Yeah. You can't, yeah.

My boy is not going to get checked up for life. Boy needs to keep his options open. But yeah, someone please hit us up. We need that. Uh, and it's going to be very fun.

And great week. Get excited for great week. Early great week this year. It's going to be awesome. We we changed to get up because we did last year.

The last couple of years. We've been doing the Tahoe trip, which we're still doing. But doing Tahoe in the group week like two weeks apart was not manageable. So great week. And then he would head number two.

Mm-hmm. We'll be making his debut. Yeah. Official debut. Not God boy.

Big week. Huge week. Huge week. I'm excited. Very excited.

I'm very excited for the first interview.

So we need, we need, uh, yeah. We need someone to help us out. Yeah. Exactly. My week this week is going to be Barcelona because we had, uh,

“we had a class go today and Barcelona made a light work of Madrid.”

Oh. Oh. Okay. It's pretty impressive. There's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, what's up with Tom.

Uh, Tom, they did. Tom is now 17th on the table. They're clear. They did winning against Acevilla 21 on the third. And then West Ham lost.

Oh, so Arsenal, right? So it's over. So there's not over. They're not. Not completely over.

But their relegation zone for earlier is not the same as now. Okay. So good one for them as well. Did you watch El Clasco? I watch Clebsco because there's an all-time free kick in there to get the day started.

Oh, really? Yeah, all-time Marcus Rashford just hit the absolute beauty. Are you, are you sneaking a soccer fan? I'm making, I dabble. You know, I don't want to, is it most of 'cause I show speed?

No, my, my brother Nick got me into. Oh, that's right. That's right. That's right. You're brother Schieber.

Also, they got the Olivia Rodrigo bump. They're wearing the Olivia Rodrigo jerseys in there. So like, that's a good bump for them as well. Wait, what does that mean? Uh, Olivia Rodrigo in the building.

My, my catch a win. Wait, they're wearing, like, special jerseys for her. Easy to get the El Lara front. Yeah. It's a collaboration jersey.

Oh, El are there. Yeah. I didn't know that. They, they dropped him here recently. Okay.

I didn't know Olivia Rodrigo had it like that. Yeah, I mean, that's like, she has her own, that's crazy. Big, big dub for Olivia Rodrigo. Uh, kind of looking sideways at Barcelona.

“Like Barker, you should, I don't know that you would just like put a random person's”

initials on your jersey. These respect her game. She obviously respects Barker's. Yeah. Wow.

Okay. Good job. Is that anything else in the boot? Any other who's backs? Max, any other who's backs?

I, I don't do this, I guess. Yeah, you don't. But I just wondering if you did maybe today. I'm wet. Yeah, you are.

Okay. Breeze all back. Oh, yeah. Grats, memes. There's your memes.

Also NFL schedule coming out on Thursday. So that means we'll get it. Probably tomorrow. I'm so sick of that NFL schedule. They did ruin something that was fun.

I don't even think it was ever fun. It was fun for like a minute. Yeah. Because when we, like, didn't, not when it wasn't fully released before. Now it's just, it's not.

You know who you're playing. I know. But it's cool to like look at it and be like win loss, win loss. But now they've just made it where they're going to release like two games. I, the bears and C. Oxford playing week, week, the opening kickoff.

They're going to release that on like Tuesday morning. I'm like good morning American. I'm like, who cheese? Yeah. I don't think I ever actually sat and watched an entire video from any team doing this schedule release.

No. I think I would like skim through it. Listen to about like 30 seconds. It's never. It's not that great.

No. Just tell us the games. Yeah. I miss football. I miss football too.

Looks like it for football. Okay. Let's talk some hockey with Paul Bisonette. Paul Bisonette's brought to you by Reese's. School lunches at a kid and those times that you scored a Reese's.

You were basically in kid heaven.

Now you can go back to that same feeling. Because Reese's is dropping two limited edition cups. The return of the Reese's strawberry, PB and J. And the only Reese's marshmallow cup. Younger you would have done anything to get one of these.

Luckily adult you can. But only for limited time. So grab one before they're gone. Reese's the official candy partner of bar stool sports. Get Reese's at Hersheyland.com slash Reese's.

That's Hersheyland.com slash Reese's. Paul Bisonette is also brought to you by better help. The show is sponsored by better help. Life is a journey. Some days feel good.

Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very, very special guest, one of our favorite guys in the whole world. Why do you say very so many times every time I'm on? Did you say that for everybody? Just you. Just you, dude.

You say very like five or six times.

Yeah, because you are very, very, very, very special guests. Paul Business. I needed that. Thank you for making this special. Yeah, TNT biz.

We couldn't have had you on at a better time. I feel like everything is the whole hockey world is is is zoning on biz. You're the story for a lot of different things. Oh, yeah. What's what do you want to start with?

Do you want to start with? You guys go wherever you want. All right. Let's start with. I kind of figured that was coming.

Well, you got, you got railroaded. I mean, is that all time? Like, like, you'd think if there's one guy on the planet who knew Bro code, it would be, it would be Rob Duncanowski, right? Yeah.

Like can we all just agree on that? Yes. I'm sitting there in like the back room. And sabers are going on a power play.

And all the sudden draw comes on the screen.

I'm like, oh, this is awesome. In-game pit from grok. Well, it's basic. He's the main focus. When I even really watch in the power play, as dog shit is buffaloes.

Power play has been all playoffs. And even the end of the regular season. And then they ask him about what sabre chugging all the sudden. I get thrown under the bus. Yeah.

That was fucking crazy. I'm, although when it happened, I, I mean, I was bustling out laughing. Because it was so random. But I mean, what did you guys think?

“Well, the, the only thing I think it was funny.”

It was funny. The only issue I had with it was grok saying the word high school. I do it. Like, grok, what he was saying was his high school friends in the fact that he is 36. And you're a single man hitting up other single people who are 36 in the buffalo area.

Correct. Now I'm on the Epstein file. He's cool. Right. Right.

Right. Because like, if you, if you just listen to your like, wait, what the fuck do you just say? So also I, all these sentence for biz. Yeah. Total sentence.

Oldie was in the box with them. Oh. Yeah. Okay. So yeah.

Maybe I'm sure all he was just doing the splits and getting the morale going and trying to get buffaloes power play back on track. He literally was. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, we're getting them on the spit and checklists tomorrow. So we'll see what he asked to say about it. I was more of like laughter. And then like why would like anything to say on national television vision? Why would that be like, what did I, like, I don't know.

Maybe it's because like he had a thing for that high school girl. I don't know what's going on there. I don't know. He may, he might just be jealous. That's what I'm thinking.

I don't think that's the case guys. Come on. Put in the skies. A man missile. How many superballs a grock went two or three or four?

You got four one with Tampa too, right? Yeah. Yeah. He didn't help at all. With the prospects because like that's the way to spit.

Like I've got a few messages. Yeah. So grock might have helped give you.

“Didn't do a solid like that's how I saw.”

He's like, hey, he's just doing business solid. He's getting him. He's getting his name out there being like, hey, business on the profiles. Hit him up. He's when he's in the Buffalo area.

Let's get it going. Yeah. I, like, I'm good though. I just didn't need that. Yeah.

Like I would, I would just rather have not have had that. But once again, it's funny. We're going to get him on. We'll joke about it. And then who knows.

Maybe we can chisel him into a sandbagger. Yeah. I mean, like because he was a sandbagger. Yeah. Are we just in rowdy?

Are we just in rowdy? Yes. He would kill me in a rough and rowdy. But like that play. Like that deserves like what the fuck are you doing?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

“You would expect that he would be better with a broco.”

And I will give you that.

That was kind of. It was a shot. It was like overreached by, by Grunk on that one. Yeah. And it's fellow Eskimo brothers.

I thought that we had. We're, the, the trustry, you know. Wait. You're, you're, you're an Eskimo brother. We're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're going to stop it there.

You just said, you just said it. You, you, you, I, I said, I, I agree. But I've said I'm stopping it there. Oh, is it the, the, the, uh, what's your name? From Arizona who, uh, might have done something.

I'll stop it there. Some film. I'll stop it there. Is she an actress? You guys.

All right. So, the next, next, uh, order business. You in, the most, you guys would have had some funny or stuff that you guys would have brought up. What do you mean? We're business guys.

Okay. All right. Thank you. I'd offend you. Like if you, if you, if you tell us, we got a fucking fight.

Grunk. We'll do it. We'll get our ass kicked. But we should do a rough and rowdy where it's us three versus him. And he can't match.

Yeah. Yeah. Just, that would be a lot more fair. Like a pack of lions jumping on him. Yeah.

This, we are biz guys. Oh, okay. I mean us. You be on Grindr for all I care. I won't say word about it.

We easy. Yeah. Hypothetically. Like somebody had win his. What, what's convinced?

I'm going to get so bored. Uh, eventually. I'm going to turn on the, turn over the other side of the menu. That's, that's, that's, that's. I said, I said, I'll do it, but it's going to be out of breakfast joint, just given a waitress, a complicated order again, like I'd there would want on an artiquin.

“Oh, he's like, I think David Bowie and Mick Jagger are probably the same way.”

Yeah. We've seen every vagina. Yeah. What else is out there? Just try some else though.

Yeah. All right. So the, the other business is, is the most biz story ever. You, the, the, uh, Maple Leafs. Yeah.

Higher in New GM. Who we like, who we like. He's a nerd. He's a genius. Genius nerd.

And then like 24 hours later, they get the number one pick. Where you at right now with the Maple Leafs. So let's give the backstory. Okay. Okay.

Out of nowhere. Like so Brad Tree Living who was the, the, the former Leafs GM. They just got rid of them with like a month left in the season. They, they cut ties. Um, I had him in Arizona.

He was our assistant GM there. Love them. Like, great guy. Like, uh, one of the boys, right?

Worked under Don Meloni who was an incredible GM.

And we had like a really good family in Arizona. And Shane Don was our captain there. Mr. Kyody. He was with the organization for 21 years. Um, got his jersey retired.

Like if you think of the Arizona Kyody's, you think of Shane Don the player first. And then no one else. Right. He, he was the guy.

He stuck through the team through very difficult times when it was being sold. When the league owned it. When every, you know, six weeks, there was rumors of the team moving out of the desert. Like he would be kind of putting out fires and keeping the group focused. And, and when I was there, we ended up making playoffs three years in a row.

And went to the conference finals. Like, and this is all when the league on the team. We didn't have much money. So then Donner after he retired. And I'll get more into this.

Was kind of blackballed and and stabbed in the back by the organization when Shreka and new ownership took over. Shreka and up becoming the youngest GM in all the four major sports in the history. Uh, at 26 years old. But fast forward to the Leafs now where Shane Donn was one of the like the assistant GMs.

They have a lot of them in a lot of different roles. They've given the assistant GM label. So my assumption he's hired to July 1st is he's no longer going to be with the Leafs. So when out of nowhere, and I expect the tree living the former GM to get let go. Because things didn't go well and Toronto didn't misplay off.

And there's a lot of question marks. Thought maybe he would get another stab at it, but whatever. So out of nowhere, they go through this GM search and up pops up this John Shreka guy's name.

Where he's basically going to be the the first guy in line.

Like, that's the guy they're considering. And tons of people in the hockey world are shocked based on how it all turned out in Arizona. When he was there, not like he did a great job by any means to begin with. But it was the way that he left things. So when they eventually named him as General Manager me being a Leafs fan.

I was like, no, my loyalty lies with Shane Donn. I want nothing to do with this guy in the fact that he got hired out of nowhere to be the Toronto Maple Leafs GM. Like listen, maybe he ends up going on to have success. But to get the one of the biggest, if not the biggest jobs in hockey as far as a general manager with the track record he has is laughable. Can you tell us more about that track record?

Because we talked a little bit about it, but I'm sure we didn't scratch the surface. We know that he like hosts his own combine, which seemed like big brain genius move.

“Yeah, and listen, like I'm just going to give you the facts, right?”

And keep in mind, like I couldn't imagine getting the reins to an NHL team as a general manager at 26 years old.

So nor do I think any 26 year olds should be given the reins as General Manager of any professional sports team.

“Like come on here, what are we talking about, right?”

There's a reason that it was the record at time. So when he was GM there, I think the reason that he ended up becoming GM is because he befriended one of the owners at that time. There was a large ownership group that had purchased the team from the league. So there was like 12 guys hanging around. I think he got, they got in one of them's ears, where they thought it was going to be a good idea.

Because analytics was just bright, shiny new toy. It was just kind of coming into league where people were talking about it.

It was a revolutionary thing.

And he just so happened to had already started a company doing it, okay? Analytics are great and all and every team in the NHL uses analytics. But it is a department that the GM who delegates a lot of stuff uses as a tool to check some boxes and end up making a decision. It's not the end all be all.

“It's 10 to 15% of the pie graph type of thing, right?”

Along with what's his character like, you know, what else can he provide the group? What's his character like, how does he gel with teammates? Maybe play multiple positions. So there's so much more that goes into decision-making than just pulling up a pie graph based on what your technology tracked when this guy was on the ice and how efficient he is.

So they end up hiring him and his first year there was Shane Dome's eventual last year as an Arizona coyote.

Mind you, the year prior that donor had scored, I think, over 30 goals with the team. And then the year where John Chika first years GM, I think donor might have had like under 10 goals in the 10 goal range, maybe 30, 35 points. But like at that point he was obviously on the back nine, but you still have a great leader who's going to teach these young players you're bringing in how to act off the ice. And he was still undecided after that season, whether he was going to play the next year. From speaking to him, it was like, no, I probably wasn't going to play and even if I wasn't going to play like and they didn't want me playing like that wasn't the big deal.

So this, at that point, I believe the GM was now 27 year old, 27 years old. He called, he texts her call, Shane Dome, hey, meet me at this breakfast place in Scottsdale. Sit down with Shane Dome, 21 years of service, Mr. Coyote, most one of the most beloved people in the Valley, him Larry Fitzgerald, Kirk Warner, a very few people in the mix there. And he says, hey, no, not only are you not going to play for us, like we have no need for you in the organization anymore. Keep in mind, the year prior he had signed a deal where Shane Dome took deals his whole time in Arizona because the league on them, they had an avenue money.

And then now on his last that last year where, yeah, his offensive numbers were there, but keep in mind boys, that's not the reason he's around. He's around for his leadership being a veteran and just teaching these young guys how to be professionals. He ended up taking deferred payments on his contract, just to help the team out. So this guy who did everything imaginable to help the team win, staying the desert as loyal as they come block the list goes a man of faith community guy, unreal family man, helped out all of his teammates along the way.

He gets called to a breakfast place to let him know that he's no longer wanted with the organization. And Shane Dome is now with the lease. He because Brad tree-living. Yeah, so check it. Just following him around. Time out, Chica was not even involved with the Leafs. Brad tree-living who was the assistant GM, got the head GM job in Toronto. He had been in Calgary prior.

We're fast forwarding like whatever, like 10, 15 years here to where now tree-living's with the Leafs his head GM. He brings in donor because of all of his experience and knowledge and it's just a good guy to have at the round table. Like donor would go watch age-held games and see the prospects and bring back like, you know, he's really good at this. He's really good at that. What's his character like, he's a round table guy. Right.

You need, when you want to be a successful general manager, if you look at the top five guys in league, not only are they well respected, if you look around at their table, they have guys who might tell them when they come up with an opinion, you're a fucking idiot, like fuck you or not doing that.

“That's what you want. You want people, you want people with strong opinions who might call you out on something they disagree with you on.”

Right. So that was number one on the list. So then as these GM for the team, the NHL does a combine and you have to, any team only gets access to these players during these windows of times for obvious reasons, like nobody gets an advantage.

So this is the original one that ends up coming up as like, oh, they tested a guy and like he wasn't at the calm. I'm like, what was this?

“So then the excuse that was used was, well, this guy wasn't a part of the top prospects game, and we were never going to get an opportunity to test him.”

Therefore, that's why we did it.

Well, they dug into it a little more. I guess they tested the guy third party in October, the top prospects team or whatever it was, haven't even been announced by them.

So it was a, so then they look more into it and it's sure enough they'd done it with dozens of guys or let's like a number of guys, so they cheated. So what happened was is boom, they lost a first round draft pick, a second round draft pick, a third round draft pick. Now to say that the NHL GMs are a boys club would be an understatement. Steve, the eyes are men, dog arms strong. There's a bunch of guys at the top where they're well respected, they've been around a while can't haul in and they've done it so long and they do it with integrity that they all respect one another.

So Lou Lamarillo, could you imagine these guys when they find out that this young fucking punk who stabbed Shane, don't in the back is now testing these guys behind the scenes to get an advantage on them. Okay, all right, listen, let's swipe that one under the rug who gives a shit, so because he's such a genius GM at that time and it was COVID time, so they shut down the league and they figured out, okay, we're going to reboot things in this bubble and we're going to do like a plan because it's unfair to some teams we're on the outside looking in that we're maybe trending in the right direction.

“Let's do a plan because it's COVID and it's different and all these teams are going to go into the bubble that we're within striking distance, I believe 12 from each conference will right before that.”

So earlier in the season they had signed John Cheka to a four year extension the game of four year deal now all the sudden you get you hired as a young GM you haven't really done much here's four years of security for you after you've really proven nothing hey good for him that's great. He goes to the owners that the the new ownership group fuck, I'm John a Brent the Morillos they purchased a team off of all those guys in the midst of all this and they were now the majority owners of the team. So they're the ones who extended him he goes to them and he says I'm going to go meet with the new jersey devils and and I'm going to go talk to them about something unrelated than being hired there to work for the new jersey devils they say okay was long as you're going to meet with the devils to not take a job and it's something unrelated to that.

He goes to New Jersey comes back how many every day is later and he tells them I'm leaving the team and I'm going to go work with the new jersey devils and they're like no you're not we signed you to a four year extension with a non compete. And he's like well I'm going to be doing other things for them then you guys need to fire me and I'm going to go work for them and they're like no you're going to fucking keep working for us and you're going to go to the bubble where the team's going right now because we've kind of made playoffs for the first time in a while and we just gave you a four year extension.

“He says no not going to the bubble so refuses the league eventually looks into everything and then he is relieved of his duties and fired.”

That was the last time he was a GM in the national hockey. So the biggest richest organization in the NHL after that.

That man over is now going to just after doing an extensive shirts for general managers is going to name him to the head of position. Now listen. I have no ill will towards it go on and go have sex with sex just success with the release go. I want nothing to do with it. I actually think that's fair.

I want nothing to do with it. But he all this has to do with the fact that my buddy Shane don't went to bat for me and in times where maybe.

I was on the bubble on a cuss by with the coyotes. He was the guy in the room saying no we want this for the morale in the locker room because the guys like them. So if it wasn't for him I might not even get the five years in the NHL. If it wasn't for him I don't have the most enjoyable five years of my professional hockey career. And and he was the catalyst in the captain the leader when I was going through tough spots who could I go talk to. He had a family at home with four kids and he was the guy that any guy in that locker room could lean on lean on. I would take a bullet for that guy.

So the fact that all that went down. Now the team's gone because of the shit show and all all these little things have part to do with why the coyotes left among the ownership group and decision making along the way. And that was my decision is to why I'm no longer with them. Now the funny the funny part of it is is I announced that.

I thought it was a little offside. I don't think the guy deserved it hammered on the way that he did regardless of what he did to my friend. I thought it was a bit much.

And the fact that the Steve Simmons guy could have asked them instead of asking.

“He had a lot of questions about the question. He had John Trich at the left of them. Fuckin have the balls to ask Trich about it. What was the question?”

It was basically like to pelly it goes, you told me that you've done extensive research and have done your due diligence when I've talked to 20 people around the league and 19 of them have told me that this guy has no credibility.

Snake oil salesman. He's foolish and just basically like like question completely question the guy is character where once again.

If you're going to ask the question just ask it to John Trich up, but that's regardless of that with the fact that they named him that with the fact that that's the press conference. I see Leafsland and the whole hockey world is going into an absolute fucking meltdown. Right. And then sure enough the next day on ESPN is lottery draft. And because of the job and the tank job that leaves dead towards the end of the season after Olympics, even though they were probably trying to win,

“they ended up being top five worst teams therefore eligible to get the first overall pick like huge bounce because if you finish, if you finish like six to like 11th your odds dropped way worse.”

Right. And if they were able to stay in the top five picks, they wouldn't have to give it up their pick to the Boston Bruin. So there was so much at stake where maybe they wouldn't have had a first round pick for the next two years teams and jambles. And then more than likely Austin Matthews their captain and franchise player is like, all right. This is a shit show. I'm out of here. I want to go win and then boom. It's automatic rebuild day and up getting the lottery ball number 12 my number with the coyotes. Wow, which which just was like, when it went when it popped up and it was number 12 and the Leafs got the first overall pick and I had just quit the team the day prior.

What was on his knees at home laughing his dick off in front of the TV like at the fact that this has happened to us like we're like the the Sabers chart chart like we're taking so many else on our podcast right now it's crazy. And and they end up getting the first overall pick who I said in the prior podcast assuming that it wasn't to be them Gavin McKenna, who a kid I want to follow he's going to be I think he's going to be a phenom. I'm going to follow wherever he goes well now I don't get the follow.

Because I'm sure the Leafs are going to draft them so I just got to re re emphasize here I have no ill will towards his John Chica other than fact that he stabbed my buddy in the back I believe that people can grow and mature and get older and I think that he was putting a situation that was he was in way over his head and even if he was just getting word from the ownership group or management or whoever else was involved I'm pretty sure he had his hand in it in the fact that he didn't want anybody threatening.

“His integrity or or or his questioning or whatever he wanted you with a team at the round table and that's why he was fucking he got a stroke sled at the table.”

But I love that you are a writer die friend I actually want to apologize because PFC and I did on Tuesday night when we joined your chocolate's live stream which I think we had technical difficulties we couldn't even hear what you guys were saying. Greenelli hit me up was like hey you want a troll biz I had none of the backstory. You know what is as of right this second until you tell us we can do it we will never again under the words this is a Leafs year. Wow that is such a band because we ride with you. And obviously I ride with you guys and I love you boys and even if you didn't and you want to keep troll me like hockey isn't such an amazing place right now like the gameplay playoffs the parody and the fact that you have like these.

Bravo type batch a red type like chaotic things drama wise happening off the ice there's nothing better than the NHL right now it's crazy.

The top dogs right now and is so cool to see because the players reciprocate the energy the energy of the fans and vice versa and that's the passion of hockey fans and I still love Leafs nation and the people involved the ones who are coming at me where they're like it's all about the crest. I don't give a fuck about the front of the crest rather than my good friend and that's the end of that. So hopefully they can see where I'm coming from and I am glad you guys got the backstory but at the end of the day this is complete theater.

And I'm interested to see what they're able to do the Leafs because I think that with their roster right now I think that they'll be in playoffs next year.

So I did hear that story and I don't know if that's true or not. I feel like that might be one just trying to kind of pile on and I do think that this guy. He does have an analytics company and he is big into analytics. There is one other story where like I don't have any personal vendetta about this I actually like would probably shake his hand for it so I was approached by a guy Craig Morgan at the time when I when I retired I was working when all that was going down I was working for the coyotes because I went back to do radio.

“So I got to be hang around with Tyson Nash Bob. He knows all the rich nairn who hired me who was our PR guy while I was playing there and who like allowed me to reboot my Twitter account. All people I loved and had my back while I was there.”

So I was traveling with the team doing radio at the time and I was drinking like I don't drink anymore but I was drinking them but I was more into weed and I felt like the weed would help with my anxiety and it was just to me a better hide than being drunk. So I got approached by this Craig Morgan who was working with the team and the athletic as a writer and he approached me saying hey I want to talk to you about like your cannabis use and like how it helps you and stuff like that and I was like oh sure just assuming that he had already asked the team and so we talked about this article.

Why do you do it? Why how does it help with your anxiety? Like I'm like oh I obviously had a lot of concussions throughout my days and I feel like doing that is a higher buzz than booze and then I like doing it and it makes me happier blah blah blah blah.

The article comes out and the team is like furious at me and they end up kicking me off the road. I never travel with the team anymore after that and they suspended me for five games.

So I like it work for weed buddy for fucking weed for weed. Diculous and like buddy I was fucking trying to bring attention to the team.

“I was I was doing like a video content for him but that was the moment where I realized like I'm fucking I'll just do whatever it is I want to do as for like that I believe at the end of that season is when I ended up joining the podcast.”

And I said fuck it like I'm just going to do any other side hustle because why am I going to put all my ex and one basket for people who are going to shut me and kick me out the road for smoking a little weed. And are you thinking yeah and now it's like a mandated part of your job which is wonderful.

And I just I just like that I like the herb like I do I will try to I know I mean do you you smoke.

And I don't I don't drink at all anymore actually like prefer smoking weed way more than booze now so yeah that was another thing like other than the computer thing like that's why I was like whatever I'm good and and also my understanding is that that came from him and worked its way down. All right. You're presenting a pretty compelling case. Yeah, but I'm telling you it's like I have no personal ill will. We do. We don't take it we don't take the personal ill will. We thought I might be sure he had like fake stats that he would have on the end of screen is in his office and like a real mover to shaker and now what you're telling us is maybe not a great guy to you.

Yeah, we hate and we have your back. We'll do it. You just tell us Texas stuff you want us to say we'll just say it.

“I think we just let him be okay. All right. Let's talk hockey right now. It's been awesome playoffs. Let's start with the series that ended hurricanes flyers sweep by the hurricanes.”

Zach, are you going to say something? I was curious. We did come to conclusion earlier that a sweep may have deemed a city not a basketball city does a flyers hurricane sweep deemed Philadelphia not a hockey city. No, no filled off your flyers. We didn't come to that we didn't say the sweep. What else did you have Zach though? Oh, oh, the sweep wasn't the reason for the.

It was then in the 70 third. There wasn't 70% Carolina Hurricane's got it. Oh, this. Oh, so was the sweep the reason for the wet.

That's not wet or yeah, wet or you're sixers. So you're representing the fact that Nick's fans kind of took over. Yeah, but what are you asking that? So would that be double wet. Oh, yeah. He does have to get soggy again. All right. I'll get soggy of Hank. It's soggy twice for the for the brew. He did, he got wet for both. Yeah, he got wet for both. Yeah, he got wet for the sick. Yeah, no, he got wet once for both of those.

He didn't get wet for the brew. No, you do not get wet twice. Sorry, it's one. So we got to deal with some of this. All right. So then Hank has to get wet right now, too. No. We in was one wet for both both loss. Me. What do you think about this? I literally.

Fucking wet and say literally the sixers. They got eliminated. So we got wet, but then we're wondering is it double wet because the flyers also got swept.

But also biz, the same thing happened to Hank last week and he just got wet once.

“Yeah, so I mean, I think that you, you, you, you, it starts at the top and Hank's a leader and if you only got wet once, then you should be rolling this great rolling.”

By the way, we put Zach up to that. So that, that's all. Yeah, you make it. You just got mad at Zach. What the fuck is that? Zach, you're okay, dude. All right. So I have a real question about this series. Max, don't get you. Oh, Max, we're good here, buddy. Yeah, let's hug it out. Why is that so good? Come on, Max. You're not wet. You're dry. If I could forgive John Chica, you could forgive Max. Max, are we good?

Yeah, whatever, continue. Okay. I'm freaking out now. Zach, you're good. All right. Let's talk with this actual series though, because I do have a question. Everyone kind of dogs on the hurricanes and they're in their style, play the, you know, the dumping chase and everything.

“Is that wrong? Because they also are just insanely good at forechecking and they seem like, like, is it because they don't have a superstar? What is it? Why are people?”

Why, why do people like get annoyed with the hurricanes when they've just started the playoffs with eight straight wins? They look awesome. What is it? What, what pisses people off about the hurricanes? I don't know. I, you know, I can understand why some, some people might think that their system is boring and maybe in the past.

I will definitely say that so far, this playoff, like they have not been, they've been electric, like they've scored some amazing goals off the rush.

They do, like, so many amazing things well. And in fact, like, they don't, like, they're the opposite of boring. They don't just sit back. They constantly attack you, even when they're playing defense. Like, they'll be up in your face. If they have four words on a, on a control breakout swing and, like, inside their own blue line, like they're going to have demon up in their face. So I think that it's a bad narrative now. Okay. I could understand why maybe in years past, like, people didn't take them seriously because they knew once they got out of the metro and they met a team like Florida who was just bigger stronger did have those superstars that they would get worked.

Well, because people thought their system was a little bit boring. They didn't take them seriously and they knew that they were get worked by a team like Florida who had all those things that they didn't. Well, when Florida ended up working on, like, they got to say, "Ah, I told you so. I don't think that they have in the East, any team like Florida remaining." And I think that they're out to prove a lot of people wrong and they have a massive massive chip on their shoulder and they deserve any bit of credit that they're getting.

And if anyone has doubted them or said negative things, at this point, at least they should be getting on their hands and these begging for forgiveness. Okay, because I like that because I, like, I've watched some of these hurt, they're not boring. No, they're not boring.

The way they forge, they just basically say we're going to put pressure on you, the entire game and it's going to suck beyond belief for you because you can't get the puck out of your own zone.

And it's like fun to watch that style of play. I get it, no, no superstars, but they just constantly keep like going at them. And there's nothing you could do about it. I don't think they've been that boring as much as what you kind of alluded to that it just sucks to play against them. You hate playing against them because it's boring, like, from my point of view, if I was rooting for the capitals against the hurricanes and the playoffs, it sucked. It was like nothing good would happen. They're not giving you any time and space, right?

If anything, that, if you're a Carolina hurricanes fan, they are the type of team that makes you so proud to root for them because they're not like, I think that they're still even in today, they're still under the cap. Now, to go back to analytics, I believe that if you took all the teams in league, they would probably base the most of their decision making on analytics and making sure they're getting the best bang for buck on their players.

“And that's how they base the lot of their decisions over over the years. And this Tulski guy who's, I kind of, he would be considered like a nerdy analytics GM, but hey, all the credit to him and the moves that he's made.”

He tried to make a big play last year where he came off of nature, moved him to Colorado, got rotten and without having him agreed to sign a contract. Rotten and ended up saying, no, I don't really want to be here. And that's visual through, but on the, on the goal line coming towards the deadline last year, he made a trade to get rotten and so rotten and this unreally player goes from getting poached from Colorado where he'd want to cop. I don't want to sign in Carolina, and he moves him at the deadline to Dallas for Stank, Colvin, and then somehow works out a three way trade to get Taylor Hall. Well, along with a guy they drafted and developed in Jackson Blake, a former player Jason Blake, son, they've formed the second line on that team and they're the hottest line in playoffs right now.

Rotten and cost Dallas, 12 million. So smart smart moves very efficient players, and then they got a guy Taylor Hall who went a heart trophy with the New Jersey Devils former first overall pick. They get, got him off of Buffalo, our, our excuse me, Chicago for $100,000 and then they signed him to a deal where they'd he's making $4 million. So you have the hottest line in the league making $3 million and then you paid the one superstar that you got rid of at the deadline last year. That's fucking making moves, baby.

Okay, and aside from that, the last compliment and stroke off, I'll give him, I think it has to do with the culture center, a guy who want to Stanley Cup there and Rod Brindamor.

He's their head coach. He was a maniac when he played. He would be the guy first guy of the ring in the gym workout before practice hardest working guy in practice last guy on the ice after practice go to the gym last guy to leave the ring working out after games. This guy retired. He should be in the Hall of Fame as a player isn't and now he's led the Carolina Hurricanes since he's been head coach to I believe eight or nine now play off appearances. And this is his third trip to the conference finals. I believe in the last four years where the last two times they've been they've been swept.

“But man, this guy, he gets the most out of his players on absolute culture center. He's on a hometown discount as head coach there and it is honestly, if you are a fan of sport, you have to be in love with the Carolina Hurricanes in their story.”

You have to. And credit to Philly because everything they did this year to turn around their organization with Rick talk and management and despite all the noise and bullshit on the outside to get to the second round when they had a 3.8% chance with a lot of young guys in that line up following the Olympics to even make playoffs to beat Pittsburgh in the battle of Pennsylvania with three four Hall of Famers on the other side, Kudos to Philadelphia and my boy Rick talk for doing what they did this year.

With the Olympics, it's interesting brought that up because I was going to ask you if there's been any noticeable trend of like any of the guys that played on the Olympic team.

Have they bounced, but like when they came back to their teams, have they been playing better, have they been playing worse, like they're tired out, has there been any, any like noticeable thread that you've seen between all the Olympians. I think that for the majority of them, I think that they have like exceeded my expectations and and outperformed expectations based on how much hockey they've played this year. The hockey is such a brutal sport boys like I football is obviously very difficult, but they got a week between games.

These guys are laced in the mop, like Brock Faber and Quinn Hughes for Minnesota played 30 minutes the other night. They've been playing hockey every other day in games battling for for what eight nine months now and then going to play best on best they each lug 30 minutes the other night they had five points combined. I would say 75% of them are still playing to elite status and then there's some guys who are just dealing with probably sore groins and, you know, just hips are fucked up shoulders whatever they're trying to play through.

“But I think that that more than than not have of outperformed my expectations and people still playing in the elite level.”

LeBron played 37 last night just so you know, like it's it's cool if they're playing 30 yeah he's 40 minutes. Okay, let me ask you this how many game how many games in the regular season that he take off. A couple of maybe few here there to compare NBA and NHL where NBA had to make a rule where if you don't at least dress for 65 games that you can't play in playoffs boys. We're we're talking apples and oranges here 40 minutes night and his knee went like sideways two weeks ago.

Well, good for him he's making $40 fucking million dollars. He shouldn't be.

All right, other games the abs is anyone anyone taking out the abs also do you have any thoughts on Nathan McKinnan going full scuba gear in the pool.

“I loved it like guys can't play mermaids. What the fuck are we doing?”

I saw that when I was a little kid. I did get I get the the scuba mask. I just dive on the bottom of the pool for like five hours. What we can't do that anymore. We're getting shunned. Yeah, it was obviously a silly video for people who are unaware of how Nathan McKinnan operates. So for you not hockey fans, this guy is an absolute dog. He's a he's the the I think he's the biggest superstar in the league that will like go in like court on court handle is on business. I'm not talking about like fighting per se.

But if there's a loose puck in a corner, he's going to try to take your fucking head off to get it. And that's not what you see from skilled high end players all the time. They try to preserve themselves, but he'll go reverse hits he'll go shoulder to shoulder with you heading into the wall to get the advantage.

Hyperbaric chambers like anything to get the edge you will do it. And one thing that Tyson Barry has good friend who play with him and Colorado brought to our knowledge was in order to like recover.

“He gets to zone two cardio on his off days and he does it through low impact exercise in the swimming pool. So he does that he'll go in there with the storkler and the goggles and with the the the footsie things.”

And he just kind of gets his heart rate going and he goes and does loser laps with with the scuba gear on and obviously it's it's a little bizarre because I don't I bet you there's not one other guy in the NHL that does it. But he has some unauthentic things that he does as far as his preparation and and who am I to judge him based on what he's bringing to the ice he's all in every every second of his day seems to be accounted for and how he's going to be ready to go and fire on all cylinders the next game.

So no. Yeah, all right. So we're getting a problem with the with the swimming with the scuba gear A's anyone what what is stopping the abs. I know it's only two one so like the wild you know answer the wild can. Yeah, the wild can play like they did last game they don't they could beat them like they like the it was the first time in these playoffs they will one that Colorado's lost and two they've looked human.

“And I think that the two guys I mentioned, Quinn Hughes and Brock Faber can be a problem because they're so dynamic offensively from the back end.”

But they also have some superstar wingers and Carril Capri soft who's the Russian he just signed the biggest deal in NHL history just over $17 million per year on an eight year deal.

And then they have a guy on an absolute bargone deal in a boldy map boldy who played for team USA at the Olympics had this stellar. I think he scored the first goal in that gold medal game or at least made the play. Yeah, he scored he did he went and dangled through Kail McCarr and and tapes, which is like unheard of so they they're dealing with a couple significant injuries right now, but they have I believe they have the edge in gold tending. D they have couple dynamic D and then those very skilled wingers now I believe that Colorado will bounce back and game four, but I also believe in Minnesota and the culture that they built with Bill Garen who's the GM of team USA for the Olympics their dogs like they're at home.

“They're down to one and game four is going to tell me everything I need to know about both teams.”

Okay, what about what about the Canadians did Montreal figure out Buffalo. What a crowd. So what at first of all if if if if you're just like a sports fan.

If you ever have the ability to go to Montreal to watch a playoff game do it. It's unreal that they use you bring out a legend. He brings out the torch. He brings it out. They like ignite the ice and the ice is in flames and then cold place playing and they're coming on the ice every Canadians fan is in a red jersey waving the towels as they come on the ice. They know it's like going to watch a British Premier League soccer game where even a little subtle poke check defensively don't cheer for it like Bravo great job. So the the knowledge of the fan base in the crowd is just so fun to be there and be a part of outside they have 25,000 people outside the building going crazy with the monitors out there too. So you see that a lot with sports now, but they like lead the way in that regard.

And they're the New York Yankees of like the players the way they're treated they got paparazzi it's just insane and Martin St. Louis a French Canadian player who was a you know the Hall of Famer. I don't know if he is yet but he might be but he should be one Stanley cop. I believe he won MVP. He's now their head coach and has taken this young group to the next level and they yeah they they have a great well built team like they just they have a really good team top four lines. They're they're deer very good. They got good contracts. They have a superstar defense in lane Hudson Cole co field with 450 gold this year. He was a Wisconsin badger Nick Suzuki is going to win the selfie trophy. But I would say that right now.

But for those America's team right so kind of sucks that they're they the last two games they've been laid late a big in the a bit of an egg but five on five they don't look great. They're power plays been killing them a little bit. And they're getting fucking worked in the face off circle so they're not even starting with the puck like I don't know what last time I've seen a team get dominated as bad in this face off circle in a playoff series where I've taken notice to it. They're like 60 to 65% they're starting with the puck so for five on five that's just killing them and they're just they're just good. They know they feed off the crowd and Buffalo is a little bit inexperienced and you can see it right now. They look a little bit shook.

So Buffalo's on the hot seat and then the one thing with them is the question mark and net you go back to Alex line or you're going to.

You put a pack of Luke and then the finish kid. Yeah, the I just looked they they won 62% of their face off tonight. That's not a recipe for success. And they were Buffalo fans are bitching about the refs, but I thought they they didn't play a very smart game. They need to get they need to get back to playing more physical and more on more with an edge, especially at the fact that they had the size of size advantage.

“Yeah, there was a big there was a big moment for me in this series and it it was with Greenway and Anderson Montreal, Anderson's with Montreal and at the end of last game Montreal was I believe up.”

Four one and Greenway is like six four six five. He's even bigger than Anderson and he was fucking going up and cross checking a punch at him back on the head and basically blow them and call them a little bitch. They fuck you a little bitch.

We just fucking worked you in your building and you're a little bit your my bitch and Greenway just took it and didn't do anything and he's a fourth liner and I'm like.

Drop the fucking gloves and pound that guy's face in and show your team that you're not back and down and fuck you will see you in Montreal you motherfuckers didn't do fuck all. Then they went to Montreal and got absolutely ragged all tonight and he didn't go after Anderson he didn't do anything. I thought that that was a very pivotal moment where hockey has a lot to do with intimidation and I'm a. If I was the coach or one of the guys in a team, I would go up and tap him and say, fuck and go grab that fucking guy and pump his eyes shut. I don't even care if you're it's not in you.

You got to fake it. Tell you make it grab on to them and wrestle them and then go to the ground at least. I like don't help his eyes shut.

“As a community are you are you rooting for Montreal?”

I'm so we'll keep in mind. I'm from southern Ontario like I used to go watch more buffalo savers game and leaf games growing up because the ticket they would give us tickets at par.

And I would go to the old mod Buffalo auditorium so I'm kind of 50 50 but if Montreal wins I would love to see a Canadian team go to distance and win. Yeah. Awesome and I might probably sell it. I don't know my family's for Montreal. I'm French Canadian. You also like there's you can't have another southern team. We've had the Panthers win and then now you have the ads looking like the best team. You can have a southern team win the company. I guess Minnesota lots of teams since that we talked about that calling a Colorado south like southern United States.

I've had a few people back me like we're on the cusp we're on the cusp here. It's more west than south and I get that but we're on the cusp there. All right so like if you had to re-pick it right now we're watching the night ducks series right now which this will be a pivotal game. What's the score now? It's two two. Okay.

But if you had to pick is it abs or is it like have you seen something like hurricanes? I mean the hurricanes have not lost in the playoffs. I mean if you if you held the gun to my head I would say avalanche just because I I just I look at their roster and right now they they're other than Josh Manson who might just come back any game now he they look healthy. I would lean towards them but if Minnesota wins next game like that's a coin flip and then. If Vegas wins this game they're going to be up three one of that series and Vegas is good man they got a strong team they got good goal tending and the data funny element of the league all the Leafs chatter is.

Mitch Marner who is is having an unbelievable playoff probably one of the top guys like for like the cons might trophy right now he's got fucking. Half the amount of goals in one playoff then he had for the Leafs is an entire career and you could say that Leafs fans kind of ran them out of town and I was. I was I was ragged on a little bit and and like 18 games and playoffs that it may be it's 21 games.

“It that he played for the Leafs from games five to seven so in very important close out games where you were deciding series he had zero goals and six assists.”

Well this is a guy who want to top dollar coming out of his entry level contract one of the be paid like a superstar and in crunch time I mean I'm not just putting it all on him but he didn't deliver. So I was kind of like ah fuck I'm like I enough he can he can he can leave we don't need him anymore. Let's try to solve our problems without him regardless of how good he was in the regular season. Well now he's gone off to Vegas and a bit on to bigger and brighter thing so it just throws more salt in the wound to how crazy that the the 12 month turn around for the trauma Maple Leafs has been.

And I was going to ask you about like you're moving on from the leaf so I wanted to know you mentioned that your your fandom is kind of up for auction or you're searching you're trying to figure who it's going to be like what what are we thinking about do you have like a handful of teams that they're going to pick from.

“So there is a possibility that that the Leafs do pick Stenberg as the first overall pick people say that right now he might be a little bit more NHL ready and ready to step in this is a very deep draft I think for the first three to five picks.”

So who knows maybe it's one of those things we're going to kind of ends up dropping I don't think that's going to be the case it kind of dropped to two San Jose ended up getting the second overall pick right now I'm rocking a San Jose shark's maclin celebrini jersey this kid. He's a stud is a stud he is a fucking freak he's the next Sydney Crosby he didn't get nominated for the heart trophy this year because his team didn't make the playoffs he finished with more than 50 points more than the next guy and his team and drag them to like the end of the season almost making playoffs putting the team on his back as a 20 year old just dominate he dominated the Olympics.

Like best on best he was the like he was like arguably the best player for canlam maybe just as good if not better than McDavid who got the MVP.

“But I digress they got second overall and got lucky with the lottery ball to bump up if mechanic drops to two I think it's going to be automatic I'm jumping on San Jose sharks train okay.”

If not there are a lot of options I have as far as who I may go to but as you can see my the hat I'm wearing I might keep it neutral and not root for a team for like a year I might wait. Hang in the weeds not be a biased donkey like my boy with and like I've been the past.

You got we got we got a league off right here. We have to show the league are logo is so much cooler than yours no my this is the best I've always said the in the Jerry West.

You got no respect for Jerry West logo.

“I got respect for Jerry. I got one last question for you biz you're the best rowback question RHO BACK dot com promo code take 20% off your first purchase Q zips polos.”

One more crazy thing about Vegas. They fought their their known as one of the most cut throat organizations in the league with the decisions they make.

They fired their head coach who they want to stand against with a few years back four day four games before playoff star yeah and hired John Totterello. So you talk about all the craziness and drama and shit that's been going on with the NHL like it kept getting crazier and crazier and crazier oh sorry it was like a lady 11 games there was another team that fired their coach for games before trying to make playoffs fire. Yeah, I lenders Patrick Wall Hall of Fame goalie he went and convinced the guy to move his wave is no move clause and St. Louis to come to them and then four games before playoffs they fire him and hire Pete the bore who is a coach waiting in the weeds.

The NHL's fuck. Yeah, it's unreal. All right. All right go take row back dot com promo code take Q zips polos hoody's joggers shorts row back dot com promo code take zacked you have a little final question for biz. Oh, by the way, the name popped in my head. BB Jones. That's who we were talking about earlier. Yep. Yep. She went. So so we had intercourse and she wanted a local radio show the next morning because I wouldn't post a picture with her. And she told the whole valley I had a small winner and I didn't last long and dead. That's me. You've probably lasted three minutes.

Well, it went longer than that because her boyfriend kept calling. Oh, because I found out because I found out was her boyfriend through that interview. She was on the next morning for so I'm going I'm I'm heading to the ranked the next day. We have a game against the Chicago black cocks fighting for a playoff position and I'm listening to the whole valley find out I have a small winner and I'm horrible on the side. I mean, if you can't laugh at yourself, then you can't laugh at yourself, but that's just funny. Yeah. Oh, it's a finished song. I don't think I got a small one. I would say it's like. No, I see it is decent. You've seen my rope. Yeah, you've been. Yeah, shy. Yeah, you take a helicopter cock. Yeah, you're not shy, but I mean, if you if you clipped it, then you lose, you know, half inch. So smart move not doing that. That's the thing. I must have rolled it back when she saw it.

Anyway, roll back last question. Yeah. Yeah. These congratulations that have an absolute piece. I was curious. I'm happy to show you.

The, uh, great story of the bus.

No.

“Is what is magic? Is magic a future face of this league? And if so will it cement him as the greatest Canadian of all time?”

No, I would say that it would you can't beat Wayne Grazky when it comes to hockey players in the greatest like Canadian of all time. Um, shout out like all the other great Canadians like Michael Myers, Alexander Graham Bell, Justin Bieber, John Candy, like the list goes on. [inaudible] [inaudible] [inaudible]

[inaudible]

“Matthew Schaefer is going to win the call there for rookie of the year. He had probably the greatest rookie season for a defenseman in the history of the NHL this year.”

And he is on his way to becoming one of the greats. And I hope that he's able to follow it up next year.

And he's such an amazing kid. And sure, shit, we're doing this interview on Mother's Day. And he unfortunately lost his mother to a battle with cancer.

And this kid who has been through and dealt with all that got drafted last year. Obviously not having his mother there and had the cancer ribbon on his jersey when he was drafted. He was in tears. Obviously wanted his mother who he adored to be there. He battles through all that adversity comes in his first year in the league and does what he does with all the all the circumstances. So what a kid, what a special kid in the special player and we're blessed to NHL has him. All right. And he chels in great hands.

“Shout out to all the moms out there. The amazing mothers.”

Yeah, she has a mom, baby. What's up?

She's a fucking name. She is a mother. She's a mother now. She doesn't work in the industry. Okay. Not my mom. No, not yours. Knay yours. Knay yours. All right, bitch. You're the best we love you. And we'll talk for us to wake up final boys great. I love talking talk with you guys and I know I rambled a lot, but I hope I gave you guys a lot of back information and what's going on with our amazing league. So anybody who listen. Thank you guys love you and you guys are the best. I love you all. All right. Fuck John Chaka. Yep. Yep. Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no. We see you. Now, you know, we're this guy. We don't like to go. You can see you can take the high road. We're taking the low road. How about how about we put our energy to just let's why don't we show love for Shane. Don't right now. One of the biggest.

Business is also brought to you by shell. I'm going to be honest. I don't usually get excited about loyalty programs. They promise bigger words and then it's like you actually have to eat 48 pizzas to get one for free. So when I heard about the shell fuel rewards program I was skeptical shocking I know me skeptical, but here's the thing it's actually kind of annoyingly practical you're getting gas already you're already grabbing take out you're already buying snacks that you definitely didn't need but absolutely deserve with fuel shell fuel rewards you just get rewarded for that and not in a fake points that you'll never use way it's actual savings on gas.

Joining takes less than three minutes in the shell app and you'll save on every fill after that literally every single one. Join the shelf you'll rewards program and save shelf you'll rewards join the program and you can save every time you fill up.

Absolutely dog. What a performance. I know when he's out because he elbowed little oopsie little oopsie Lagren to Dylan Harper's face. By the way, it was so funny in that. Yeah, I thought he was so funny. I mean, it was clearly just like it was a right call. Yeah, it should have been a flagrant. No, he he went after him. But but it's the Edwards. This is why the timber wolves like you know when Friday night happens and Wendy just has a historic night where he just completely. He's an alien and dominated that game to a level that they were throwing out like the stats where the only other guys who did what he did were.

Carrying a team, a shack and Wendy like that's those are those are the best centers of all time and Wendy is in his first playoffs doing shit like this.

And then something that happens and again, Wendy's out, but still this is what the timber wolves are they're just absolute dogs and Anthony Edwards like on one leg. Drops 36 and just will not let the timber wolves lose this game and they like Julius Randall has not been great and they they still like Anthony, I was like, I got to just do this and he did it and it's fucking he's he's the man. He's just absolutely awesome to watch an awesome to like see he just he just where he has that like killer instinct.

That even when shit is going bad is like I'm going to just will myself to a victory here and now we have a series which if you look like big picture. The timber wolves and spurs was going to kick the shit out of each other and then the thunder are going to kill whoever's like batter because the thunder are going to be have a whole entire week off, but I don't care because this has been a fun series to watch. I think no matter who the rates is. So here's where I've ended up because I picked the nuggets in six against the timber wolves in the first round. I felt pretty confident about that and then I learned my lesson I was like, I think that the timber wolves can beat the spurs.

“I don't know that they will, but I think that they can because I'm done I'm done doubting the timber wolves after everything they've done and it feels like the last three playoffs.”

Every thing we hear is an underdog. They crush somebody and I feel like the timber wolves might be the team that would give the thunder the best push in these playoffs.

Just because I feel I've seen them do it again and again and again against supposedly outmatched opponents. So I feel like if they can beat the spurs, I think that might be our best recipe for the to have like a close Western conference finals. Yes, Hank. You're wearing the NBA hat. Yeah, yeah, you're your league guy league. Would you say that the best case scenario for the finals is spurs next. Hmm, a little nine throwback. No, are you talking about ratings? Yeah. No, I think it'd be Lakers next. Well, yeah, okay. Technically still alive. So got you. He's right on that. Yeah. He's a hundred percent.

You're counting LeBron out. Yeah. I am. Yeah. That was just my thought as a sports chunky regardless my own sport I play.

“Yeah, nobody would be realistically the best ratings. Yes. The realistic scenario of the spurs with Wimbie against the New York next. Yeah, I think that's it.”

Also Dylan Harper was awesome when he had to step in and just he was great. I mean, the spurs are really good. It's just, yeah, when we've got to not elbow people's heads off. I do, there's no way he gets suspended, right? No. I don't think so. But there has been precedent for this type of runner test member runner test, like almost took James Harden's like head. Yeah, but the house was regular season different, but it is also a success at people's heads. Yeah, and runner test also did have, you know, a history at that point to where it was like, all right, we're going to we're going to get him anyway.

It was it was a weird play because it was they didn't call the foul beforehand, but then when he's still you can't you can't do that.

“No, I mean, he got he got pushed a little bit. He did kind of snap. I don't know what the monks have been teaching him. I feel like monks are nonviolent by nature, right?”

So like that's he should figure out as a Frenchman his first instinct should be to not fight back. He also should learn the rules because he had no idea what the flag is.

Yeah, as the kids can safely agree to what is this. What do you mean I'm not playing anymore? I would expect a incredible webbie game five coming up.

Yeah, I think so memes. I saw I saw I think you tweeted out about this is a true that shimpag me that he's on the spurs because the sixers cut them. Well, maybe you come like a little bit close to pronouncing his name, right? But just like a little bit close. I go ahead. Shimpag me. Nope. Shimpag me. Nope. Shimpag me. Nope. Shimpag me. Nope. Shimpag me. Nope. Shimpag me. Nope. Shompag me. Nope. Shompag me.

What do you mean? You tweeted it out. I don't think so. I thought it was you. What was it me?

“I get fucked up sometimes from PMT stats. It might have been that same same. That will get me every now.”

Let me. Let me look this up. I guess I got you. Yes, and you know why he's not a sixer PFT or your fucking guy. Mac McClung. Yeah. They dropped them to add Mac McClung. That's right. Active roster so that he could compete the dumb contest. That's kind of crazy. And your guy Josh Harris. Yeah. You're right. It was PMT stats. Good job. PMT stats. That's a fun PMT stat. He does get me sometimes he could do it. But yeah, this is this is kind of this is the series we have to cling onto when it comes to NBA playoffs. It's been great Tuesday night.

So we what's the what do they pump up the time for this game because of no other game. Hopefully so seven o'clock. There we go. Get excited. Yeah, when he's going to you know I'm getting a lit. I'll just take it out of this game. He's got it. He's got it. He's going to be fresh I have to know I was reading for just like for taking that like a champ too. Oh, yeah. The dogs. Yes dogs. Everyone on the table rolls is a dog. So Jamie Daniels is dog. Oh my god. Like I got the nugget suck at defense. Yoke it sucks at defense Murray sucks at defense every he just backed it up.

He called him all up by name. Yeah, and then yeah, he proved that he hit the Edwards leg went backwards. There was it. The realistic timeline was for him to not play in this series. Yeah, he's played every game.

He's basically like, yeah, I'll just rehab on the fly. Okay. Good show boys.

P. J. Championship. Yeah, this week. Shane Bacon on Wednesday. Major set it in. Major, really. Filly. Falking Philly. Max took his prom pictures there. Sure. Is he golfed out? Philly not not a basketball town. That'd be funny if there's a bunch of ping bongs going off. By the way, I asked your real conno. If he wanted to if he had a statement and he said, I said next in four eight days ago, I'm on to OKC was last week. Nothing was say. So he's yeah, he called the shot. Jerry was very right. Yeah, he said it almost immediately. He's right. Mr. Brinkbong. He's right.

Hey, Shane. Shane. You ready to get charged up? I'm always charged up. Are you ready? Are you ready? Where's it going to go? I mean, probably in the Raptors 43, I bought a 43 foot long get charged up banner wherever it is.

“I'll be there. I'm ready for the unveiling. Yeah. I think you got to do the unveiling. Me. Yeah. What do you mean? I can do that. That'd be that'd be the honor of a lifetime. There we go. Get charged up bro.”

The whole office get charged up. Oh, we're all getting bolted. So I'm talking every day. You're going to walk in. You're going to be like, Oh, shit. I forgot to get charged up. That's right. Right, bolt up. Yeah. If anybody from them from the Washington mystics knows where to get our hands on the WMBA attendance champion. I would love to have six of them. Maybe three. I will buy up to three of them. Dude, I've been trying to get those. I want the Florida state COVID one. I want the St. Joe's one. Just bad banners. Get let us know. We're in the market for.

I want this whole office to just become a basically a sports museum where everyone's like, Oh, I guess that's cool.

That's why you're like on a space. Like, oh, okay. I get yeah, I guess the bill's tough school. A lot of that reaction. Nothing. Nothing to be like, Oh, my god. You have that. No. Yeah. Oh, all right. Yeah. How much do you pay for that? A lot of that. I want that. I want the whole museum to be like that. Maybe that's the name of the museum. How much is your pay for that? Oh. So also shout out to forases. If they have a championship band for a live Virginia team win. Yeah. One. Well, they were to that. I don't know if they were maybe a big double when they make one make two.

“Okay. All right. Yeah. And I think that the bills. I think that they had OG Simpson's jersey retired for like 40 years. But then they unretired it. But at some point they had to have a banner saying it was retired, right?”

Yeah. We would take that. Let's take it. Okay. Numbers. Four. Fifteen. Fourteen. Why did you say four? Four. Six. Fifteen. Double sweet. We're about a statue. We get a statue. Yeah. I'm going to give it away. I actually boys. I I would 100% buy the Joe past at you. I think it would be a great statement. I think to all right. Hey, listen. I know there's controversy around it.

Your bam. You're in the conversation. You're you're you're putting your you're doing the John Taffer stress test on guests instantly. What do you think about that?

“Oh, man. All right. 77. How sick of that be though 11. We just had it. We walk in the floor door. I what? I think they're bringing back. I don't think they're selling if they're waiting or coming.”

Yeah. You want to see what I am trying to buy? Like another 20 years and they're going to be okay. I remember this back. It's a big deal. 63. It's the three. Max. Can you pull up the it's called the nails, tails statue. It's from Madison from Wisconsin. We had this statue up for like 10 years. And then they took it down and it hasn't been seen. They said they were putting it somewhere else. Look at this. It's a penis shaped statue 43 feet tall of footballs. That's all football. That's footballs. Where was it for? We'll just find a place.

Wait. What was it made 43 feet? It was just made. It was put in front of Camp Randall. It's there for a while. It's been taken down. Look at that. Look at all the footballs. PFT. I don't understand why they one built it in the first place in the park. But why would they take it down? It's supposed to be like the art of like the struggle of football. I don't know why they took it down, but I'm trying to find it. Could you imagine if we had this? It looks kind of like a football buffalo. How sick of that. Yeah. Imagine if we had this 43 feet.

Where would this go? We could figure it out. Oh, there's one other statue I was thinking about the other day.

Can we try to track down the subway statue that they made of Robert Griffin out of Delhi meat? I don't know what it's actually made out of.

I think it's Delhi meat. It's a subway. Yeah. Where would it look like that thing? It's Delhi meat. Where can we get that? Does that still exist? We have to make it. I don't think it exists anymore. It's Delhi meat. You can't destroy that though. Yeah. PFT. It doesn't. It's dissolved. You make that in its art and I don't think anyone in good conscious could destroy that. But you're like asking for like an iced out. Yeah, you're asking for like, hey, didn't we got that sandwich I was eating ten years ago?

You're like, leave it. You can't put that sandwich outdoors because birds will eat. I had a chicken palm. Where do you go? Yeah. Yeah. I don't think we can. I've been maybe who knows?
