We've got Captain America TJ O she on the show, talking hockey. We have a game seven. Spurs, thunder, the most toxic series. In NBA history is going to game seven. We're going to do some fire fest. We got some

other national sports podcast news to talk about Christopher, Christopher Sanchez, the best. I don't think, I don't think that's the athlete in the world. Biggest fillies news of the day. It might not be, but we'll get to all the Christopher Sanchez incredible. I've been told a gunpoint by Max that we have to lead with Christopher Sanchez. We're not going to lead with them, but we will talk about them. Thank you. And it's all brought to you by our friends at Chevy.

Our AWS know that Chevy Silverado is the official truck apart in my take. That's because Silverado is a truck with grit that shows up every time built to haul, tow, and take a beating, but smart work counts with modern tech that makes life easier. Big screens available, camera views it help with towing and parking in a cabin that feels right, whether you're road tripping, heading to practice or loading up for the weekend during the season at the MVP the tailgate.

After the season, it turns into your training camp truck hauling gear, tackling home projects

and doing the work that never stops because the grind doesn't take breaks. And neither does Silverado

check out the current offers and build your Silverado at Chevy.com. Okay, let's go. Welcome to part of my take. Presented by draft Kings. The crown is yours. Today is Friday, May 29th and we are going to a game seven boys and girls. The most toxic series in the NBA is

“going seven. Where do you know if I say toxic? I think it's, oh, it's toxic. It's fun. This is a good”

shit. Oh, it's toxic. It is. How can it not be toxic? This is, it's just some good shit to watch. Like this is fun. You said you didn't like watching SGA. I don't. I think you know, I think when you, when he, when he flops, it sucks ass. Right. But this is taught like between the SGA discourse, Wendy's henchmen, Wendy not going to the to do media after game five, the blowouts, the, the, the, the fish eating. It's toxic. The fit. Everyone hates everyone. I love every second

of it, but it is. It's toxic. I think it's fun. I think that saying that SGA, I love hitting on SGA. We just that. I don't think that's, that's toxic to do. I do think that the series has been fun and that the series has been violent and they clearly don't like each other and going back to the last game with Wimby ordering the code red and getting in there saying foul and hard. Now come on his ass. Jared McCain, getting not one, but two blocking fouls drawn via his ass.

Like, twirking on people. The, the, the bad blood between Chet and Wimby. And then you go on to

tie loss and with a banger tweet like this, four things I'd rather do than be a thunder fan. One, play hide and go seek with Jeffrey Dahmer and to ban and chuck a cheese. Two, be a team of parachute tester. Three, stick my dick in a blender. Four, lick a port of potty toilet. See I coach Ella, y'all are some losers. Just some bad blood. I love it. And you're saying this is in toxic. I love that's the most toxic. Like you could just admit that

it, you could, you could agree with me one time saying that this is toxic. That tie loss and tweet. The whole thing. That's hilarious. It's a great tweet, but it's okay to say it is toxic. I guess I don't, I don't know what you mean by toxic because we have people tweeting stuff like that. They want to put their dick in a blender than be a thunder fan. That's the definition of toxic. It's, toxic and fun are not mutually exclusive. The, the discourse is getting insane to a

“point where tie loss and write, I think he has like five DUIs allegedly, maybe not all five.”

I don't even know what the number is. But yeah, it's okay to be like, yeah, it's toxic. I'm saying I'm having fun. Yeah. It is toxic. I think the, I think the discourse is wild. It's, it's crazy. And I'm glad that we get another game seven out of it. I mean, it's yeah, I wish the games are actually

a little closer. That's the other part. Like it hasn't been game one. Game one was incredible. And then

it's just been punch counter punch. You thought after game five it looked like Wemby was out of gas. And I will say like I like Wemby a lot. That's a lame ass move to not go and talk to the media, especially when you want to be the face of the league. And you will be the face of the league. And you will probably be the best player for a very long time. You got to just go and face the music when you have a bad game. He's a monkey. He took a valve of silence. That is a power move to be like,

how are you going to respond and not doing media? I'll just wear the monkey outfit in. Yeah. Yeah, no, that was a good response. Put doc who doing the media is lame. If you win to game seven, you can get away with it. Right. If he loses, it's going to be a long off season. Yeah, but it's like one of, like, we make, we, we criticize worry what he does this. Yeah, like worry wants me the face of golf and then he just doesn't talk. And you're like, what

why aren't you talking? Like, and I'm not a big, like, you know, the, the journalists are like, how could you not talk to the media? We do your job. It's more just when you lose, you got to just face the music for, you can give non-answers. Yeah. It's just the act of being there and being like, yeah, I sucked.

“Yeah, with Wemby, it's like he's a sore loser, which I think is good that he hates losing this”

much, that he's going to, like respond in a, in a way that he'll probably regret later. Because it means that he cares, at least during the game, like he's definitely games, that, that he, is going to act like a baby in throw a tantrum after it's over. In a way, I like the fact that he cares that much, but then after the game, it's like the bare minimum just show up and just like you can give non-answers. Right. And you can be a dick at the podium and, and then everybody be like, okay,

but you got, you do have to face the music. Right. It's also, if you're a role player, no one's going to be like, how did he not go? Yeah. You know, how, how, how, how did he not get up there and talk to the people? How, how did, uh, you know, Carter Bryant not talk to the people after game five notes, but it's Webby. He wants to be the face. He's going to be the face of the league, future face of this league. You know, it's crazy is that the spurs have almost been better in the last couple of games since

they've won. Uh, they've almost been better when Wimbie's not on the court. They just kind of like, they, they, they poured on. I'm not saying that they're better team without him. I'm saying that they've gone on some serious runs with Wimbie on the bench. I don't know. They've exploited those minutes. They might be saying they're going to. No, I don't know. I don't know how you're starting to do. That's, then, then we can take a go. I'm not ready to unveil that take yet. That's that's a bomb

that I'm going to have to save in my back pocket for after they win like a couple championships. Yeah.

“Um, but the fact is that they did really well in terms of like, they extended the lead in the”

first and third quarter tonight tonight. I would say that's that's definitely the case. And in

a, uh, the, uh, the last game that they won two games ago. They had, they had the game five. They were not Luke Cranett was a minus and Wimbie was, uh, a minus. When Wimbie was, was bad as well. But yeah, no, they were not. They weren't better with him off the court. Game five. No, I said this game and the last one that they won. Got it. Those two games, they were, they, I don't know. I'm not ready to say they were better with him off the court. But it's, if they're able to extend the lead and not lose any ground

at all with Wimbie on the bench, then there's no chance and hell they're going to lose that game. Yeah, Luke Cranett was a, yeah, I mean, that game, I think game four Luke Cranett wasn't great either. But yes, tonight, yes, that, that did happen. They killed them. The, the thunders didn't come out in the second half. I thought, because it, it started the game. The spurs hit eight, eight, three's

in the first quarter and it was like, okay, this isn't sustainable. The ball's just going in every

single time they put it up. And you thought going into halftime, it's like, this is a, this is a close enough game where if they cool down a little bit, just went reverse. The thunders didn't score forever. Yeah, in the third quarter, the spurs went on a 20 nothing run. The thunders did not score

Yeah, so I think it was tonight was when, because I, I know game four, I'm pretty sure when they won game four, Luke Cranett was still like a minus and Wimbie was a significant plus in the plus minus. Like, on court, they were just trying to survive those minutes of Wimbie being off the court. But tonight, yes, today they were just, they were just better all around and I, I don't know if it's,

“I, if you had to go gun your head, I think the thunders probably win game seven because it is like,”

they, they have felt like they have met championship moments and maybe this was one of those situations where they're like, hey, we know that we can just go and win game seven, but you're

always, you never want to play with fire like that when you're in a single game elimination against

Victor Wimbie Yama, anything can happen and they get it, they, no, they don't get an extra night off it's Saturday night. I think that the thunders win and they win easily. Yeah, game seven. Yeah, I mean, it has, the series has been blowouts. Yeah, for the most part, and we're seeing that a lot of, it's like, extended series, but the, the games themselves aren't particularly close. Yeah, and, and you had game five, I mean, Crusoe was incredible again that feels like whenever

whenever the thunders at home, the, the role players are just awesome. And yeah, if, listen, I'm just happy we have something happening on the weekend because we had a, we're staring at no sports. Who's lying? Is it anyway? I haven't looked. I'm going to say thunder minus six, five and a half, four and a half, five and a half. He's in six. Four. I should have gone for that. Yeah, it's damage. We also had to take, we're, hopefully this is not, the last we'll see the tits, but it could be

because if the spurs get balanced. That's it. Dude, you got, you got to have tits in the finals. Like, last year we successfully bullied Adam Silver to putting the trophy on the court. Adam, can we get tits behind every coach? Yeah, Matt and that's G. The god, be some touch. Yeah,

do you see these just tonight? There's some amazing tits. Yeah, those are some nice tits. A lot of

dudes getting horny about the tits online. Turns out they were, it was actually Max's butt crack that means, oh, no, onto the cleavage. You guys are disgusting. Disgusting, the, the two of you just disgustingly funny. We like to have fun online. Yeah. No, you could give me you guys are sick. Yeah, sick like sick like a fox. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sick like a fox. Insert. Uh, the mean Kevin Durant with the oxygen going into his nose. Yeah, I'm sick. No, they're like sick. They're

“like ill. That's how funny their jokes are. You looked at the picture of tits and said,”

you know, would make these tits better if they were Max's. Great point by hey. Well, that's not

a good point. That's not what I said. What I mean, memes saw the tits and he goes bobs. And then

he took a screenshot and he was going to post the boobs. And then, you know, obviously he had posted the Max photo shop of the face onto the coach. And I was like, memes, you know, be funny if we did just a titswap, a cleavage swap and so the facewap and said a tits, it was butt crack. And then everybody that is like, oh, look how hot those tits are. We're like, actually, that's what Max is butt crack that you just got horny to and probably jerked off to. Listen,

PFT and memes, uh, it happens to guys where this series has gone deep. They've stared at the same four breasts every single time the games have been in San Antonio. They got a little tired of staring

“at those breasts. And they said, let me just try a dude for a second. What's wrong with that?”

It's a scale. You ever hear the Kinsey scale? Yeah. They were just like, let's spice it up a little and we'll just, we'll just go with Max's butt crack. Curves the curves, man. I'm excited for game seven. Ah, the other news is Mitch Robinson has a broken pinky. memes. Are you, how are you doing? So this sucks. But, but it sucks if he doesn't play. Like, I, I, I wouldn't understand that. But if he does play and just tapes it up, I don't think it affects his game at all.

You can't shoot because he doesn't shoot. He doesn't dribble. Right. All he does play defense. Right. So what's it going to miss some free throws? Yeah. Just shoot it with your left hand. Yeah. It is going to be an idea. It's going to affect all you with his grip. But how did you say that? The all you. The all you. Yeah. That's the, the comment all you. That's the country where to say the all you. What was that? I love. You love to, yeah, pronounce things strangely like

every now and then. Well, that was real bad. That was crazy. Dude. That's not the all you. Bob Berkowitz playing fucking basketball. Yeah. Tony, Tony, Tony, hox pro skater. Yeah. You just, you just described a future dude perfect trick. The all you. They've done it. Yeah. Yeah. I think, uh, knowing Mitch Robinson, he's probably going to play through it.

NBA finals game with a broken pinky. I don't think he's going to miss this one. I think he's probably

going to shoot it up. It might affect how he's able to grip the ball. The pinky's probably pretty

“important for that. Um, but yeah, honestly, like it's his shooting who care if it affects his”

shooting, it might make it better. Um, and he'll still be able to play defense. The only thing that concerns me is the timing of this. Why they announced that he's a broken pinky finger right now as opposed to a couple days ago. So I didn't happen today. I think it was in the game. No, I'm not saying quarter. Okay. So maybe he just waited to get some, um, he waited to get some, uh, X-rays. Maybe just like rub some grease on it, some, some dirt. Yeah. That is kind of weird.

A couple days later he's like, it's not healing coach. They should have done the Sean Peyton. They should have announced it right after the game. Yeah. It is. Listen, Mitchel Robbett, we, I know we just won the Easter conference final. Mitchel Robinson, broken pinky. It's slightly concerning given that I've heard, I've heard a couple of Nick's fans around the office say that they've got the Wimbby stopper and Mitchel Robbett. And so I don't know what

you think about that. Are you to this injury change who you guys are rooting for in game seven memes in Zach? No. Okay. No. What if he doesn't play? He's got to play. He's a competitor. He will play at some capacity. What if he doesn't play? We're going small, but does that change who you want to play? Yes. No, we're going small and then we're playing Magnet Ball. Right, but does it change who you

“want to play? You have to go small. It would be better because yeah. If we're going small,”

it's better to go against okay. Oh, the thunder have chet and in heart and side. So heart side's floated by the way. It's nice. He's so good. I feel nice. You're going to want Mitchel no matter who you play. Yeah, we got we got Hawke Porté. Mm-hmm. Okay. Let's talk about him. He's good. It does play much. Okay. He's ready to go. Fresh. He's fresh. Fresh. But you can put OG at the five, but that's like worst case. Listen, you're just focused on your villain over wild cats.

Yeah. The greatest, the greatest basketball programs. So memes and memes are great. It's been fighting today because memes is trying to basically take villain over his school. It matches like at one point I was sitting there. I'm I'm going. No, I don't know what he's trying to know. Well, you keep being like, no, this is my school. Yeah, right. He says he's incorrect. I just think is that actually it proves that Jay Wright, not that great of a coach. Mm-hmm. But then his argument was,

well, Mike Brown had LeBron and LeBron and he never went with him, which made no sense. Yeah. It doesn't

make sense. No, that was different. No, that was that was the argument. I just heard a hand slap

“and Max just said, why how did he never went with LeBron? Oh, remember LeBron pushed him. Yeah,”

LeBron didn't buy into the system. Yeah. I just heard a hand slap at Max goes, I was a senior when they won the championship. And then he was like, yeah, the 18th championship is mine. I was like, I was there. I was I was on campus when they won. So it's it's literally mine. But anybody any coach could have won without line up, Max. What does it mean? What do we even? What are we even talking about? There's so many NBA players on that roster. It's the best, it's the best college basketball

roster of all. Agreed. And they're mine. And they're all you're there. Yeah, you guys aren't even doing it, right? I need you guys to fill in all the sweat sweaters. Like, I see ones. Like, I'm in all, memes. He amount of time. I have bet on the jets every single year because of you. We got the jets. We got the Villanova. Vaccine thing about memes though is like, all that goes out to window once he starts winning. He, he will not give it shit about any support you gave him in the past. He's going to be like,

yeah, that was like, I'm giving him support. I'm like, yeah, let's let's let's let's hop on a little bit bandwagon. Let's go. And he's like, no, you're a thing. That's mine. Yeah, that's a bet. I'm your favorite memory. It's yeah. I get it. You understand, they were so good. Me. Me is a real fan here. You give memes like a tiny bit of power. Me, you didn't even watch it. I watched every single game that I had whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever. Also, oh, back to my original point. I mean,

we have, it is the toxic series because we have the underdog getting sued. Season assisted, by SGA. I agree with SGA on that. I do too, but that's toxic. Like, that were at this point where underdog is making fake AI ads about SGA flopping. And then season assisting.

First of all, it's a lame move to season to cis for anything like, for example, a juicy

fart that dinner did not happen. But yeah, I, SGA, like, they are making money off SGA's NL and, and, and, and, and despair. Yeah, if they're running a contest on their website, that's, that's making fun of his flopping, then yeah, he's get every right to be like, no, you can't make money

money off that. Try to make money off that. It strikes in effect a little bit, but I think most people,

“but, but this is where we're at. What do we have fake games? What do we know about the, about the”

possible refs for game seven? Like, if you're the thunder, is there one guy that you're hoping to see? Is it brothers? What do we, are they hoping that we get brothers out there? I know that he's got a little thing with, with, with, dork. I feel like brothers is the guy. Brother, if you're a Oklahoma city, you want brothers. Yeah. He had his, yeah, his little, uh, his little look at, it dorked the other night that was, those pretty funny. Don't need to step up. That's my step up of the, of the game seven.

I don't know how much he can step up, because dork, the problem with ludoor, and I love ludoor,

dorker chamber guy, for since day one. The ludoor, when ludoor makes his first three, you're in,

you're in for a long night, because he's going to double check, triple check, quadruple check, to see if he's Steph Curry that night. And he's not, but he's going to make sure that he finds out if he is or not. He's going to file. He's going to, he's going to do dirty shit. He's going to get his hair pulled. He's going to, he's going to, he's going to be all over the screen. Yeah,

“I'm, I'm, I'm very excited to see. I, I think that there's going to be some fireworks and games seven.”

I hope it's a close game. I don't think that will be, but I'm hoping that we get a good quality game seven. Also, uh, in game five, because we didn't talk about it. Jeremy Caine was very good started, and this, let's, there's been some funny discourse. I saw this from Miles Brown. He, he, uh,

tweeted after the game. If McCain played for any other team, he'd be a lovable, scrappy dog.

But now he's just hitler's corgi talking about him playing on the thunder. It's, it's pretty good. Pretty good. Yeah. He's kind of like a mascot. He is, dude, he's strong. He's like, he's got, he's got a strike. I'm telling you, when he, when he, when he threw his ass backwards, yeah, like, he drew that. That was a little much. He had to working. That's, that's some next level shit. That was an old, that was, that was an old Chris Paul James Harden move where

they're getting front of the guy. And then you just stop. And you're like, oh, that's a foul. Hit the break on your body. We had to get physical. We had that, that, that foul on SGA tonight. Tonight, we're just like a foreshiver. It's good. I mean, we got, yeah, it was just like me just a straight up fight. Yeah, we're so far gone. Jason McIntyre was like, oh, here goes SGA with his flopping again after he got just fucking dead. Oh, it's great. It's

good theater. It's fun times. Game seven is going to be great. And we just got to get Mitchell Robinson's pinky fixed. How, what, what is it? What is it? This is such a weird time for you guys. It means exactly where it's like, it's the extended rest. This is going perfectly. But you're on such a hot streak. And now you're just not, your team just doesn't play for 10 days. That's, that's kind of a bummer. You kind of want to see him play. Now that they would have moved it up, they would have

started the finals at the same time, no matter what. But you probably like, hey, let's get this thing on. Yeah, no, this is a extremely weird playoffs for me personally, just because they're so dominant. You guys have, you guys have more, more like weeks without basketball than with basketball. This series are coming like bursts, like, boops, series, boops, series. Which went for the next one. Cute as fuck. Boops, series. I like that. It's weak on and we go off. Yeah. Okay, let's talk some

other sports stuff that's going on before we do that. Should Jason McIntyre block me. Oh, no, what did that happen? Oh, no, what a disaster this is. Probably I'm sick of you tweeting about assholes. You probably saw your tits. It's your dog. He jerked off. And he was like, oh, shit, PFT turned me gay. Mm. Better block him. So that does happen. I got to get rid of this. I got to hide all the evidence. Yeah. It's all right. Hey, listen, cleavage is cleavage. If it's a boober,

butt. Yeah, the shape flopping again. Here we go. That was right after he got absolutely decked. Because I

“tweeted out that clip. But I said, what a terrible flop by SGA as a joke. But I think he might have”

been serious. Oh, I think he was because he's been hard on the there's been a lot of line in the sand. Yeah. He was being a members. We're like media members have been like, this is what I'm saying.

And I'm never moving off of this. He was being the truth somewhere in the middle. I played essentially,

I did the highlight of the Oklahoma drill. Yeah. It was like, what a flop. It's it's been a great series for people recording their TVs. Did you see the cup of the, I think it was just the angle, but it looked like when he was pulling Louvre's hair. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think he actually was no, he didn't. He got his shoulders. Yeah. But this is where we're living in just basically a beautiful time for people to pull out their camera and and and take some quick film of their TV and

being like, is this, did this actually happen? Are we seeing this correctly? Yeah. You can make up with it. He told us. He does kind of look like it. I'll tell you this. If you actually did pull Louvre's hair. He would, he would not have taken it like that. No. He would have put a, he would have put his heel into your groin. No. Yeah. That's absolutely not. Okay.

booked at draft Kings dot com slash promos. We have one of the entries to the Stanley Cup final in the Vegas VGK. The Vegas Goldenites. We're going to talk more hockey with TJ O sheep button. Congrats to them. A dominant sweep of the abs and the Golden Knights are it's pretty shocking.

The fact that they have been a franchise for nine years and this is their third trip to the Stanley

Cup final. They have one-one lost one. This is their third. They have also gone to the playoffs in those nine years. They have missed playoffs one single time. It's a crazy run by them too because they've looked so good in the playoffs and they are a team that you know was injured had struggled during the regular season fire their coach. If they were in the east, they wouldn't have made the playoffs. In terms of points that they had. They won 39 games in regulation this year and it's

pretty not so much more wins than them and they didn't make the playoffs. Yeah, 95 points. But they have said 95 points as well. They know how to get it done in the playoffs and my big takeaway from this, the abs had some bad injury luck. They looked like they were going to be much better team. I agree with the people now that say that the seating in the playoffs and hockey screwed up. Yeah, I hate it. I don't like it. You get non-competitive series the later you get in the playoffs.

It should be the opposite. They're trying to do the thing where you have the constant rivalries where you get the same teams playing each other year to develop those storylines. That's going to happen if the teams are good enough. You're going to get those rivalries if the teams are good enough and they'll happen later on the playoffs with a mean more. The fact that it's reached this point where we're getting non-competitive series in the conference finals on a pretty regular basis is

very bad for us. The wild in stars had to play in the first round. Yeah. And they were significantly

better than the Knights in the regular season. Yeah. But the Knights deserve a ton of credit. They're a model franchise. There's some revisionist history going around of people being like well, the expansion draft was rigged for them. Our good friend Liam Blutman, who is a diehard VGK guy, he's showed me that like at the time of the expansion draft, that was not the take by anyone. Everyone was like, they fucked up the draft. The Knights are going to be bad.

And so you can't just go back and be like, "Oh, well, it was rigged for them. No, they just made good deals at the time and people shit on them and turned out they built a good organization. They have flurry, right? You was in that draft. Yeah. But no. At the time, it was remarkable that they made the Stanley Cup finals. Yeah. Yeah. So they're in and then looks like the Hurricanes are going to be in. Probably. Yeah. I don't see them giving up the series to the Canadians.

And so yeah. We're going to have a conversation about the ratings disaster because it's two of

You think, I mean, the ratings would be huge if it was a Canadian team. Yeah. Playing the things that come back. Yeah. They look like the, I think it feels like every single

“game they're getting out shopped by like 40. That's what happens. That's what happened. You're just,”

I'm very got to shoot the ponds get to score it. I'm stupid when it comes to hockey, but I do know this that when you play against the Hurricanes, if you get chances early in the game, you have to score early in the game. And if you don't, then you're absolutely fucked. If you, if you

like hit the post twice in the first period and you have these chances that are right on the

doorstep and you don't capitalize, you're fucked. You're not going to win the game. You have to score early and then you have a shot. It looks, Max just gave a look because he's looking up and it looks like a glitch. They were, they were outshot last night. They were outshot 44 18 and then game 3. They were outshot 39 13. What was game 2? Game 2 was I think it was 28 12. It's crazy. That's just the style they play. They're just on your ass. So frustrating. 26 12. And we're going to, we're going to talk more

“about what's in the game. I feel like it's nothing. Yeah. I mean, 39 13 is crazy. So yeah, we're excited”

to that thing. By the way, I don't even know why I tried to comment on that. No, no, it's okay. No, I just thought I was looking to play it up. Yeah, he fired up. He max. You know, he can't

comment on Chris for Sanchez. 35 minutes is too far into this show for us to be talking about

not talking about Chris for Sanchez, but yeah, he's a hell of a ball player. He's hell of a ball player is going on and he's on a historic run right now. He broke a record that was previously held by a president. Grover Cleveland. Grover Cleveland Alexander. Same. Yeah. Same guy. Yeah. He's been the same guy. But there was a lot of people myself included who saw the stat. Wait. Was that a president? Yeah. Every president in the 1800s was actually in Major League Baseball. Yeah.

They know they either played, they either were the captain of a 12-in-o Michigan football team that beat the YMCA of Detroit or they played 15 years for Major League Baseball. Are they played like four, four years at Yale, but all those stats count as Major League stats because there's

no official Major League Baseball? Yeah, they played four years at Yale, did 30 years of

active duty, and then was the president. Yeah. And then they died because they forgot to put on a coat in a light drizzle. Yeah. But also that's kind of some pussy shit if you're going to wear a coat. Yeah. Was it who's the guy, who died of injury Harrison died in like 40 days? He's an inauguration speaker. Yeah. He's like, no, it's not cold. Yeah. He was like, I'm not a bitch. I can't be a bitch in front of the people. They want to see me without my coat. Yeah. And I'm going to give

the people what they want. They're also, I saw the, I don't know why this popped up in my feed. This is by the way, this all counts as Christopher Sanchez talk. We're not talking anything about pitch for Sanchez. I'm waiting for you guys to stop with this. There was a president that we, we exhumed. We dug up his bones. Yeah, because we thought he was poisoned, but it turns out he just he, yes, many cherries and got too much milk. Uh, who was that? Was that, um, chest rarer,

author maybe, one of those old. I don't know what he saw, but they're like, no, dude, he just, he just ate way too many cherries and too much milk. I mean, Jeff, K, lead poisoning. Yeah. So he died. Technically. So Christopher Sanchez, he is 44 and 23rds ending straight without giving up a run. That's a lot of, that's a lot of innings. He hasn't given up a run in the month of May, zero runs. And in that span, he's gone eight innings, 10 K, 10 K, 7 innings, 7 K, 9 innings, 13 K,

8 innings, 6 K, 7 innings, 9 K's, five straight games of going, of going at least seven innings, while without giving up a run. He's the only person in the past. I think a hundred years to go to go a full month without giving up a run while, while having five starts. Grover Cleveland did it twice on two non consecutive occasions. That's not it. That's, that's, that's incorrect. You're just, you're just making things. You said that really, you said that to a point that I believe I'm just doing,

I'm doing historical president facts here. Before the team, man, he was the only guy to get elected twice in the guy in between. Oh, you're talking. I don't, I didn't even know this guy was pregnant, you're not saying Alex. I didn't, I don't say Alexander. Grover, yeah, Gro. Grove. Grove. Yeah, shout out, Grover. Great record. That's really long time. By the way, he wasn't a president. Stop talking about the president. You aren't saying his full net. Grover Cleveland was a president.

“Grover Cleveland Alexander was the ball player. And I do mean ball player. That's what they weren't back”

that. Mm-hm. Zachary Taylor was the exhum president. Zachary Taylor. Thank you. Shout out Christopher Sanchez. He's still in this historic run. There's a chance he breaks the whole

a long way away. That is actually probably the best name in baseball history. It's pretty damn good.

“It's German for liquor poop. Mm-hm. But he's, I think he's two winning, Sanchez is two winnings away”

from top five and all the other guys have played in like the 1800s. Yep. So it's shout out Christopher Sanchez. Shout out Christopher Sanchez. Also Grover Cleveland. He was the mayor of Buffalo. We've talked, we've talked way more about Grover Cleveland than we had Christopher Sanchez. We're talking about the president. Yeah, the president. Good for Buffalo. That's a win. Yeah.

That's a basically a super win for Buffalo. Crazy. Oh, they called Grover Cleveland.

Alexander was also known as Alexander the Great and Old P and Old P. That makes no sense. He's like that. Oral was pitching in the 80s. 90s. Yeah. Yeah. So Max just said it's not since they know the 1800s. Well, for the Phillies. For the Phillies. And Phil in fight in history. Yeah. Oh, she may not be wrong. Let me just say this real quick. Grover Cleveland. Pretty attractive wife, which that that wasn't a guaranteed thing for presidents back then.

There's some handsome first ladies back then. Francis Folsom Cleveland. Not bad. Francis Folsom Cleveland. Good job. There's also so Grover Cleveland. Alexander's mom was named Maggie Kuddy. How about that? Oh, okay. Shout out mags. Oh, Grover Cleveland died from cancer. I didn't know they had they diagnosed cancer. I think it's just like old it. Like this guy's he's got the consumption. Yeah. He was shooting at all those cigars. Hmm. What do you say? He was 50 shoes 21.

A little bit of a gap there for Grover. That's a big time gap. I've tried so hard to do right.

“He's all right. That's what he does his last words. I've tried so hard to do right.”

Not bad. Last words. It's kind of sad though. Yeah. Like I, like there's like a butt maybe. There's a butt there that he just he died before the butt. But I'm I'm really a fucking moron.

And, but don't, don't always work out that way. I've tried so hard. Did you write,

but I'm also a hell of a ball player. Oh, we're Cleveland. Speaking of presidents, did you know that Grover Cleveland Alexander was the subject of a 1952 biographical film called the winning team where he was played by Ronald Reagan. Wow. Who would then go on to become president? So he was named for one U.S. president and then portrayed by another. How about that? And also, did you know that Lincoln's secretary was Kennedy? And Kennedy.

Max, how do you think this was going to go when you're a little demanded to have Christopher? I've got another Philly story. I mean, you guys don't like talking about this. You know what? Max,

“here I have a question for you. So Christopher said, "Wait, did you, was this a play? Was this a play? Was this a play?”

Max, it wasn't. This is a true riff between the two and one. Where did you guys get all this information? Well, we started looking it up, but it looks like you guys came prepared with Grover. I saw the cherries in milk thing for Zachary Taylor a couple days ago. That's stuck with me. I'm not going to do that combo ever again. Cherries in milk. I'm not going to lie. I haven't paid attention to any of your actual Grover Cleveland. Let me ask you a question here, Max. The Philly's in the last

two days. How many games do they want? Including today? Yeah. One. Okay. Because the clubs have actually won three in the last two days. They've won two baseball games and also we beat a pedophile. So, how you like them apples? I feel like they're playing it. You didn't say a pedophile today. Did you get them? Did you get them? Did you out of pedophile? Because the club's fan base did. Bleach drifted. What? What? What?

What? Talks Dave? That's something. Yeah, this is an R guy. What? Talks Dave might have defended a pedophile for a minute before he knew that he was a pedophile. But yeah, we had a similar pick-and-spirag icy vert was a press. It was. I feel like that's, well, the fact that there was a convincing pedophile moments. I know. I feel like that's a disservice to icy, icy vert and pick-and-spirag. I don't think either of them are, are pedophile. No, no. I'm saying in terms of

Twitter fan bases being like, we're going to beat up and fight. I got it. I got it. It was Bleach or Jeff, a white tax fan, planning on meeting at Rickyville dogs to fight. And then before that could

happen, someone was like, hey, wait a second. Are you pedophile? And the guy was like, yeah,

I'm not showing up. Yeah. So, yeah, that went for the coming back. That guy should not. No, no, no, no. Well, I think what he thought in his head, because Bleach or Jeff is a controversial figure in the club's community, which I have no problem with them, because it's like one of those things, at any time you get a celebrity fan, it just tickles me. It's like my own man and fall ball guy. Because he's, he's the one who did a go-fun me to have people pay for his

a situation where just close your eyes. You know what I mean? Right. Don't donate. So, people were,

“people don't, there's a lot of people who don't like Bleach or Jeff. I think the pedophile was like,”

now's my time to strike. People are mad about this. Go, fund me thing. They'll forget about the whole. I'm a pedophile. Turns out, people don't forget that. That's the one that people latch on.

Yeah, more so than the other. Go, fund me. Go, fund me versus pedophilia. Yeah. I think that's always

going to not go your way. And I think the other guy deactivated too. Yeah, which is probably good. That guy probably shouldn't be online. Yep. You should probably stay off, dial up even. Just log off for that guy. Max, I got another fun Philly Facts for you. You want to do two. You, you led the show with this. Two rounds of Philly Facts. We're looking right now. We're doing some idiot jack. Yeah, no. And it's going to come back and make me look like an asshole. No, no, I already made

boobs look like an asshole. I'm not going to do that to you, too. Fun Philly Facts number two. It's going to be mean. That's going to be mean. No, it's not me at all. The use of naturalists through a combined no hitter against the Tampa Bay race. How about that? What does that remind you of?

“Are you? Do you not remember that we already did this?”

Did we? When was that? Oh, that show. Dude, you're getting old. And this is bad. This is my,

this is my long day. We did the no hitter bit last show. Thursdays. I got away. It's been a long day. Oh, fuck. Did it happen though? It. Yeah, it happened. It happened on it happened on Monday while we were hoarding. And then we said it out loud. Oh, it wasn't against the race either. It was against the Rangers. Oh, I thought it was against the race. Yeah, listen again.

I sometimes you swing into mess sometimes. What time have you get up today, Max? Yeah, yeah, what time have you got up? 730. Okay. You probably woke up to a bath. Now spent three hours getting out of your apartment. Walked my dog. Got married a few times. Got

right. Yeah. Can't work. A couple baths of parties. Yeah. A lot of weddings. I don't remember

what happened on Monday. Monday was, that's not even a show day. Yeah. It has been a weird week. Yeah. I spent all of Tuesday being like over about to record. Oh, we were not recording today. But yeah, we did, we did, we did breaking moves. We were, we were in these seats when it happened. Yeah, it's completely gone. Um, Prover Cleveland, do you think he's got any like, uh, like great. All right, let's get on the rest of the show.

He does it on the show. Oh, it was a private life. This is an entrepreneur. Wait, wait, he's very serious. He's not alive, isn't he? No, George Cleveland. No, he said, I'm saying if he has a grandkids, we'd have him on the show. He's got a descendant, uh, George 11 now. Yeah. He's a grandson, George Cleveland. That's a strong name. Yeah. Streams on kick. Ben Cleveland, the offensive vibe. I wonder if he's got anything. George Cleveland.

Oh, my god. He looks exactly like him. That's a guy you can trust. That's the grandson of the president. Yeah. We got to get him on. George Cleveland. I wonder, yeah, we should, we should try to do that with as many different presidents. Great, great grandchildren as possible. There's not a lot. I don't think. Yeah. Okay. Uh, I, let's just jump around real quick. I had no problem with JJ McCarthy. I think they're trying to, uh, they're trying to pin something on nine that's not fair if anyone missed it.

There was a clip that was mashed up. Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy both talking about each other. Kyler Murray said, they're asked like, what's it like? He's like, you know, I've been in the league. I'm a veteran. Just trying to help JJ McCarthy anyway. I can, uh, being a good teammate all his stuff to the SJG McCarthy. He's like, it's like being in school. We're just sitting on opposite sides of the room. We don't really interact. Mm-hmm. What is he supposed to say? You brought in Kyler Murray,

because you don't believe like he's not going to be like, yeah, I love having him here. The guy who will

“most likely take my job if things go bad. I think if you listen to what they both said,”

it sounds like Kyler Murray gave the politically correct answer. That quarterbacks are trained to answer with and it sounds like JJ just kind of gave an honest answer. Yep. That made him sound like a dick compared to what Kyler said exactly. I think if you were to figure out what the actual truth is, I don't know that they're exact. I don't think that Kyler's like helping JJ out or like training him to take his job. Like his Kyler's looking at this as his opportunity to extend his career as well.

So yeah, it's, uh, I think, uh, you would ideally like your quarterback to be more polished like Kyler, like the way that he answers in an ideal world. But I have it also. That was JJ answering. That

when it comes to like how athletes talk where we will be like, oh, yeah, JJ McCarthy. This is

like bullshit. He's not being a good teammate. And then we get mad when athletes give cliche answers. That's not fair. Yeah, he gave, he gave his honest answer. We should embrace that. We should be like,

“hey, thank you for your honest answer. I think JJ was also just like describing physically what”

was happening. He's like, I'm a guy in a room and he's a guy that's in the same room as me. Right. Like, good luck proving that one in correct. Right. Have fun with your fact check. We are actually in the same room. We're in the same room and we study the same things. We play the same position. I'm nine. He's five nine. And we're going at it. That's, that's generous. Kyler does look a little itty bitty in the purple. What's going to have with Josh Jacobs? That's a bad one. Yeah, it's a bad one.

That's a bad one. That's a bad one. That's a bad one. The charges are good. Yeah, the charges are

short. Like, I hate the packers. The charges are bad. You can't really make jokes about these charges. Like, if they're true, bad, really, really bad. Mm-hm. I also like came out of, it felt like it was, there was a gap in the reporting. Did not? I don't know. It just seemed like it happened and then we found out like two days later. There were multiple neighbors that were reporting it. It doesn't seem

“good. It's bad. It's bad. It's bad. Okay. Anything else before we get to TJO, she? What do we got?”

I don't know. I don't want to say anything because we probably talked about it on like last Friday. Oh, I got one for you, Pete. Is our coach leaving? Yeah, but this is normal. So this is crazy. No, this is, this is how it happens. Are you us coaches leaving? Yeah, after the world cup.

This has to be the guy. This happens like every time. I don't, can he, can he wait? Can he

wait till we compete in the world cup? Yes. So now it's these leaving? He did not announce that he's leaving. It's a club. But he's, so how do I know that he's leaving? Well, he's open to taking other jobs. And AC Milan is considering him. Dude, does AC Milan? We got the world cup in two weeks. Does AC Milan play? Well, the US World Cup team plays? Why can't you do both? He's not, he's not like interviewing and that he's not spending time with them. I was about to ask that same question.

Wait, it just says head coach met with representatives from AC Milan. Okay. So why are you doing that? Steve Kerr does warriors and the US basketball. Right. But he's leaving. He's going to leave. We're about to play the World Cup. Like we're about to play in the World Cup. I mean, they should be game planning. Right. He's taking me. It'd be like Steve Kerr running a USA basketball practice right before the NBA final. I mean, it'd be not doing that in offensive and defensive

coordinator for a Super Bowl team is taking interviews during the weekend. But he's head coach. He is a head coach. That's not, that's not the same as an offensive. And this is more than a team. This is your country. Right. Well, that's not his country. He's from Argentina. So why the fuck are we? You can't wait because this is how it works. Like every other coach, coaches and soccer, they leave after the World Cup. Most of them don't stick around like continuously as I understand that.

There is an one. He can't wait. He has coach that could coach this team. He can't wait. We've tried that heck. But for you're saying he can't wait. He has to take these meetings now. I don't know when he took the meetings. I mean, we're as reported. They took the meeting like yesterday. Well, that's where the report came out. I don't think he was necessarily like, he's not flying overseas. He might every girl Roger Bennett agrees with me. He might be taking phone calls.

Pachetino meeting with AC Milan is unfair to the US team. Love that.

“I think that there's a lot of talk going out. Like the email thing was a bunch of bullshit.”

What do you want your coach to do? Like there's no way that that conversation is going to go well, no matter what, him sending an email versus like making a phone call where the guys like, oh, shit that sucks. All right. Thanks for calling me. I appreciate. Like nobody cares about that. What people care about is once the games get started, getting these guys on the right foot, getting some momentum going every coach interviews to take other jobs after the World Cup.

These guys are the world. Wrong. These guys just said after the World Cup. Not all the time. But you just said every coach interviews for jobs after the World Cup. If it was after the World Cup, I wouldn't care. It depends on what openings there are. If there's an opening like if Pep leaving or if AC Milan becomes open, those teams interview coaches as soon as they possibly. I would like for him to maybe focus on the World Cup. I don't know. I think it's supposed to be the guy.

I think we all complain about Burhalter. Yeah. It's that he's going to change out. This Pachetino guys can change everything. Could he just pretend you want the job for a little bit longer? I think there's a lot of room to criticize Pachetino and what he's done and then we'll see how the games end up going. I don't think that that's one of them. He could just wait. Which rather have a coach that is like so good at coaching that AC Milan wants to hire him? I feel like that's a

good one. Even good. They're not even the elite league is not even one of the best, one of the best

EPL maybe, what do you say Hank? This is our golden generation. Correct. Yes. Home World

Cup. I've talked about it forever. Yep. Yeah. Our coaches from Argentina. And he wants another job. If we're going to win the whole thing, we're probably going to have to go through Argentina at some point. What happens there? Where you ask the coach against Argentina? Yeah. It's happened before in World Cup, where you get coaches that have to coach against their home country. Like it's very common for international teams, even really good international teams to hire coaches that are not

from that country. He'll be coaching AC Milan by that make. We're good. I just wish we could just focus. I just want to focus. I want to have a good result in our home country World Cup. Do we even know what the meetings looked like? It was at a phone call. Was it over Zoom? Was it an imprint

“that they fly over here? Like that's I think that's fair to ask too. If it was like a phone call”

who gives a shit, if he's like flying over to Italy with a pamphlet and like I'm just reading our point presentation of how to turn around AC Milan. I just searched him who Hercules Gomez, that guy sounds official. He was on the US team for a while. Okay. Great. He said there are a few

truths here. He was always planning to leave despite what he may have said before. Not the first time

he's thrown his hat into the ring while managing the US men's national team. And three, this is a terrible look. Even the Pachatino Apologist PFT would have to admit it. I've said that there's a lot of room to criticize him. This is a terrible look. This Hercules said it. He's a soccer guy. I think that, um, let's just wait. If the if the team sucks to see if AC Milan gives him the job, if the team sucks, he deserves and US soccer deserves all the criticism in the world because this has been

the world cup that we are supposed to be good for. I when we do all the email things, the email things overblown. I don't really care. Like, yeah, they could have called, but like at the end of the day, it's 55 guys who are all in different places, whatever. It sucks. This happens. This one, I just wish, come on man. Just pretend you love us a little bit longer. That's all. This stuff does have another sports, too. And in, in, in so head coaches, I don't know how many head coaches

before the big tournament coordinator shared. We just had one on the show a couple of weeks ago,

“who Lane Kiffin Lane Kiffin had to leave. They told me couldn't coach. Yeah. That's what we should tell”

this guy because he was talking to other people. Right. We should tell Pochettino, you can't coach. You're right. So he agreed with so Ole Miss. So put him on a, a tarmac. Yeah, get him the fuck out. Get him on two planes. He's going to AC Milan go. Yeah, you're dude. I, I, I, I, I think let's, let's see what happens. I, it's all going to come out in the wash in the world cup anyways, if we don't play well, then it's squarely on him and it's squarely on the Federation. If we do play

well, then everyone's going to be like, great job. This is a home run hire. You never know.

Chris, I also think that we have a chance where we're going to, we are going to be able to try to bribe and cheat our way through this world cup and it could kick at. I don't care how it happens. I'd love that. Christopher Sanchez is the only MLB pitcher in the modern era with 40 plus strikeouts and no runs allowed in a calendar month. You said that, right? Sure did. Yep. I just wanted to say it again so that we can timestamp this is all Christopher Sanchez talk. What? This is all

been won, Chris. No, thank you, memes. We did nine and we did. No, no. We started with Chris for Sanchez. I just ended with more Chris for Sanchez. We did a lot of soccer. We didn't really. We didn't really, we didn't know soccer at all here. We did a little dance, a little dance, a little dance, a little dance, a little dance. The Houston Astros have combined. We hit the San Francisco Giants. Much like the Philadelphia Phillies got no hit by the Houston Astros in the world series. How about that? That's pretty cool.

That's pretty cool. Oh, sorry. It was the Rangers and it was like four days ago. Funny. Yeah. We even did the like backs when he was like, it doesn't count. I was like, how many hits did they get? He even said, well, you were like, all those four, was there four

“walks or something? You got mad about the walks? Yeah. That's right. I remember that too many walks.”

Too many walks. Tell you what? I'm fired up for Joe Scally. That's a little I know. He is playing soccer. Yeah, no matter, no matter what you think about Pochetino and everything he's doing, he's got the ace in the hole with Joe Scally. I'm just going to be also sitting. He's security Mike's nephew. Yep. Our guy. Still on the, still on the text chain from Great Week, which I love. He's just our, he's just watching over us at all times. Okay.

He is joining us, talking some hockey. Also talking some golf because we have the American Century golf, American Century championship coming up in Lake Tahoe. After the fourth July and TJ, you're playing in it. Let's start with this. We have a lot of hockey stuff to talk about,

but are you going to finish maybe top 20 this year? Because I feel like you've been getting closer and closer. And this is like, you now we're fully retired. You have a lot of time to to golf. It's the best event. How is your golf game going? Are you thinking maybe this is the year

“that we get in the top 20? I think every year, that's kind of my goal. It's top 20.”

You know, I think the the Pro Amps come around. I start swinging for the fences, then my backs and shampels by the time the real tournament comes, but no, it really is the best weekend, like you said right after the fourth July. I think it's the 10 to the 12th this year.

What an amazing event they put on. Actually one time I was leading after day one.

And the funny thing about this is I think I ended up being like top 15 or something. The funny thing about this was I had this core surgery. So my, you know, my lower left ab was kind of, you know, torn off the pelvic bone or whatever from just from hockey and playoffs and all that. So I hadn't really played golf yet. The first time I actually played a full round of golf was in Tahoe. And I think that, you know, it goes a show. What a mental midget I am out there.

I just, I just can't, I just can't figure it out when I'm full strength. And that time I just, I didn't care. I was playing with the car brothers. We were hyping each other up and after after day one I was in the lead. That was the most hockey tough thing ever where you just said,

“"Yeah, my lower left ab was torn off my pelvic or whatever." Or just like, I think they call”

the sports for any of you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the worst things after the playoffs, you're like, "Oh, I need surgery." Yeah. When they put sports in front of anything, it really sounds less tough. It's like, yeah, I got a sports, uh, I got sports harpies. Yeah. We were talking about turf toe. turf toe is like the worst name for actual injury because everyone thinks turf toe. It's like, "Do you stub your toe? What's the problem? Why are you

up for three weeks?" Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We, turf, same thing. I honestly didn't know what it wasn't like this last year. I was like, "This, this toe thing can't be that bad." Like, take this thing up. But we, now that I learned what it is, we have something in hockey, it's called lace bite, where it's like the front of your ankle and it literally feels like there's a knife going into your ankle if you try to tie your skates. Um, and so now I realize like I sympathize with those guys,

especially since they're running all over the ice, we at least get to glide around a little bit.

“What, what was the worst thing you played through in the playoffs, where you're like,”

maybe even like, "Hey, this is getting so bad. I might have to just call it even though you can't because hockey tough." Yeah. I think, uh, it's, honestly, as my last, the last game of my career, in playoffs game four, I broke my hand and game three. Um, and you know, when you write when you have it, write when it happens, you kind of got adrenaline, right? And so like, like, I, you know, it hurts, but it's, you know, maybe it's fine. Um, and then two days later, once you're playing, like it's sore,

it's hurting, you know, it was to the point where you get shot up before the game, they try to numb it best they can. The problem was they kind of numb the couple of my fingers. So holding on to my stick wasn't very, you know, I wasn't very sturdy. Yeah. And honestly, it was probably right at that point. I had my back stuff going on as well, which is what I retired from. Um, so I'm worried about the back. I got my broken hand. And, uh, it was really close to the point where I was like,

I could, I could be worse off for the team. Um, and so it was kind of floating that line,

It's going to end when the game ends, you get to mice, whatever. Um, but when, when you think it

could affect the team or you're, there's someone else, we'd better off in there. That's kind of where I, where I draw the line. Um, and so I was right there, my, my last game. And I hadn't feeling was my last game. So I was like, let's just tough it out for 60 more minutes. Yeah. And it

“was a dirty hit. I remember that last game. It was a very dirty hit. And I, I don't know, if you're,”

if you're playing out there and you get hurt via a dirty hit, is there more of like, do you want to play through it more? Because you knew it was kind of a cheap shot? Uh, yeah. Yeah, I think so. Well, you probably want to get back to the guy, right? Right. Like, I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. And, yeah. So that, you know, I don't know if you're referring to like the, it was

rampy that broke my hand, took my hand to the glass. Um, they're and hit me the game before that,

you know, that, that's, that's done a little bit. That's one I was thinking of. Yeah, that's long on the noggin. That, that one wasn't necessarily the one that, the, the, the, it was, it was game three the next game. But yeah, that's getting way, way off topic. But I actually because, because of that hit, I missed my 1000 game golf trip and, uh, John Carlson's 1000 game golf trip, because that whole summer my hand was broken. I ended up playing in Tahoe, but I wasn't very good. Yeah. So you're talking

about Carlson. Um, he, he got traded this year. I, I sat down and thought about it. And it's very, very, very difficult. If you want to make a Mount Rushmore of Washington capitals from that era, from the era that you played in, I don't even know who the forward be, because if you, if you, if you narrow it down to just four, I feel like you could make a great case that you're leaving two guys out. So on mine, I think, and I could be talked out of it. I had, I had Ovi, I had you,

I had Carlson, and then I put Holtby on there. Um, but then I mean, you could talk about Koozy, you could talk about Willie, you could talk about, about Baxram. Like, there's a lot of guys that would get left off. So like, have you thought about who that, who that top forward be? If we're speaking just that era, I think it's Ovi, Baxram, Carlson, Holtby. I think it's like, honestly, I don't think it's very close. Um, and you could probably argue, I think all time caps,

“I think it's Carlson, Baxram, Ovi, and then probably one of the old dogs, right?”

But, I mean, Carlson ending is leading every category possible on the defensive side. So, I think he's got to be in there. He actually was in Tahoe a couple of years ago. Man, what a tournament. What a unbelievable event. It's like, like, I just can't go back to it. It's the best, and I got the invite this year. And every year, you just, you know, you pray that, you know, one, you play to get enough to, you know, you were a good person to everyone involved.

Three, you got the fans involved, right? Because that's, you know, we suck. Like, some of the guys are good, but a lot of us aren't, like, you know, really good. They'd probably rather, you know, watch like a PJ tour event. If you're going to watch strictly golf. Yeah. But we're there, like, with all the fans, you feel, for us, it feels like you're at the PJ Championship or the Masters, you know, for our caliber golfer, but the fans of what make it so awesome, especially on 17,

that was absolutely nuts. Yeah. Can we talk a little bit about the, the Stanley Cup playoffs and what we got going on coming up? Because you've got some insight you did play against the golden nights in the Stanley Cup finals. It was a great series, five games. But they have a unique home

“ice advantage. I think with the, the showmanship and everything that happens before the game,”

was that any different for you guys getting ready to play against the nights? How much time they took before the game, doing the, the whole like medieval time celebration? I don't, I think in just in general, the, the Stanley Cup finals is so much different from everything else, right? There's so much more media. There's so much more attention. There's so many more rules and so much more TV things that like your schedule is just kind of, it's kind of messed up in general

until the puck drop. We were super surprised by Vegas and their fans and the music and everything

in the regular season that year. That was the first year there in the league. So that caught us off

guard in the finals. I don't think it was anything, anything crazy. If anything, that place kind of gets you jacked up. Like that's a fun place to play. And so there's some places where maybe it's I don't know, maybe you get a little nervous or, or maybe the fans are like a little too rowdy. That's just like the right type of like hyphen people up where, you know, and it's Vegas. So everyone's traveling there. No matter what team you're in the, especially from somewhere cold,

you're from Canada. Like if this month's real, people are going to Vegas for sure to get down in the warm weather, especially during the season. So I don't think that necessarily have an advantage. If anything at this point right now, their advantage is probably their, their leadership and

all year it was like, yeah, as I know, you know, McCarr was out and the McKinney gets banged up and they were dealing with injuries. But the abs were the best team, you know, it felt like all year. And to, to lose in a sweep, is it just Vegas is playing at that level? Like what has happened with Vegas and these playoffs? The coach change, can you explain that to us? I think, I think, for the, or some teams, and, and we were one of those teams in 2018 when we won,

every round you almost pick up a little bit more seeming a little bit more belief in what you're trying to do. Guys change their game or play a certain style and then they start having success and they're like, okay, I'm just, I'll just keep doing this. We'll keep having success and I kind of police through the rest of the team. And so I think Vegas is one of those teams. I will say,

“I think Colorado was a lot more beat up than than most people know. You know, but that's what”

playoffs are about, right? You're grinding every night, you're playing through injuries. I'm sure there's a lot of guys on Vegas that are, they're dinged up pretty good. I think it both teams fully healthy. The series is, I don't think it's a sweep. I don't think it's, you know, even close to being a sweep, but you can't deny what Vegas has going for them right now and the belief in their system, their team, their coaches. That's the exact same feeling we had after we beat Pittsburgh and

round two went on to, to Tampa. We ended up going seven in that series, but there was never,

like, you need, there's never any panic. Honestly, we weren't worried at all. We were just like playing our game and we were convinced that at the end of a seven game series we're going to win. But Vegas is playing on a different clip here. It's going to be interesting to see like who they have to, who they have to play against because that's kind of going to determine how the games are going to go a little bit. Yeah, so are the Canadian, we're taping us on Thursday afternoon games.

What is it game? Five is on Friday night. Are the Canadians dead though? Like, it doesn't, the game one they win, then you got back to back over time games, then Carolina kind of flexes their muscles and game four. Does it feel like it's, hey, come on, like Carolina's the better team and it's going to be over in five or is there any way that Montreal can get back in this series?

“Well, it feels to me like Montreal the only way they can get back is if they score the first”

goal in game five. Like they, they absolutely have to score the first goal and they probably have

scored the second goal too because there's no team in the league, not Colorado, not Vegas, not anyone else. I would rather, there would be harder to chase from behind than Carolina because they play such a north direct in your face game and their game doesn't change if they're up or down. And so to chase against that is very difficult because you have very little time and space. It's not like a team like like an anaheim maybe or even at times a Colorado that they'll try some

plays, they'll get a little risky, they'll make some, you know, scene plays through the middle through a couple of sticks and if they, they make it, yeah, they're going to get a good chance to score. But Carolina doesn't do that. They just get it deep, they grind you down. That's what you see

Montreal barely getting any shots in these third periods when, when they need goals because

Carolina just shoves it down your throat. And so I don't want to say Montreal is dead. I love

“a Martin St. Louis doing there. I respect the heck out of that guy. I think his message is”

unbelievable and a lot different than a lot of coaches in the league because he's been ever for and he's done it as a player as one of the best in the league. But it just might not be Montreal's time just yet. So other than like getting a early lead on Carolina, what is the, what is the recipe to beating them? Because you're like, I mean, they're four check. We're talking about their four check is ferocious and they just stay on top of you. Is it, is it personnel or

is it a scheme that can counteract what they're, what they want to do and how they want to play aggressively? So I don't know how in detail you want me to get without like a drawing board, but get into it. So this is, this is my, my opinion. I played against Carolina and playoffs the year after we won and it felt like there was like 10 guys on the ice, right? At that time, we were still playing a similar system to we played when we, when we won and that was teams that

four check have heavily. Instead of trying to throw the puck by, I'm really fast, you actually suck them in and bring their pressure to you, right? And then you don't make a long play, you make a little short play. So if you could think of a defenseman going back, a guy breathing down his neck behind them, instead of that, that, that, his partner, the demon, going to the weak side of the ice and making a long play, you go right next to the guy, you make literally it's

like a three put, three foot pass and now you, that's one guy sucked in. Now the second guy is going for the second team man. Now the sentiment supports, that second team man gives it to the sentiment. Now you just beat two guys in a small little 10 foot area, one of your demon have to jump by them and now you're odd man rush the other way. And so in a way, you just kind

plays, support each other up the ice. And then when you get in their zone, like you have to wear them down, you have to, I know a lot of teams want to shoot a lot, you have to get a

cycle game going because the second they get the puck, they're gone. And so that's kind of what

we focused on. I, I sound like a bandit on this thing because I broke my collarbone in that series,

“but we end up losing seven to them. I think I went out and gained four. But that's the only way”

I can figure out to beat them, because if they're on their game and they're all pressuring and in unison, it's just, it feels like they have like three too many men on the ice. But if you can suck them in, get them off their game a little bit, get them stopping a little bit in the off their four check instead of just rounding and back checking, you can use their pressure again, some and jump by them and work up the ice as unison five. That's suck them and make

them come. And then you can get them. But then I also imagine like if you do come in and turn

over as you're trying to suck them in, then it's like everything's on fire. That's why it's

such an effective team to play against. It's like if you screw up trying to beat them, then you're way worse than where you start off. Well that's why the short place helped you, right? Because you already have guys around the puck instead of those long plays. If you mess up one

“of those long plays, like I think it was Lane Hudson in game three, maybe kind of made a play across”

the middle. It just jumped on him. It wasn't his fault. But because of their pressure, they turned that over and they score, I think the O.T. winner, you know, a couple seconds after that. They score a goal right after that. So there is ways to beat them, but they're all bought in and it's going to be tough. If they're the ones playing Vegas, Vegas is going to have their hands full. Is it a mental part then? Because your strategy, what you explained, I appreciate you

dumbing it down for us because it makes sense. Like you want them to almost get over aggressive user aggression against themselves. But when you're trying to beat it with the small passes, is it a mental game where it's like every now and then you see someone open and you're like,

I'm going to try this long pass. Now you're basically playing back into their hands where you

have to be so diligent and play a certain style for 60 minutes that it's almost a mental taxation on you of like, fuck, we cannot get out of our our lane here. I think it's more of a communication thing. And so that's that's one area that game especially my later years, my last couple years. I noticed that these young guys a lot less, I don't know, maybe because they have their head up more than us, but they they talk on the ice a lot less. And it makes, it makes you almost,

it gives you like a brief, I don't know, two tenths of a second like pause at like to like, what's this guy going to do? Who's he going to pass to? Whereas if someone's yelling at you like, you know, you play like, you play pick up basketball or something, some guy screams your name, you're almost like, shoot, I'm going to give it to you. Right. Like, this guy, this guy wants it. And so it's a little bit more like that. And then we have, we have calls for everything.

Wall was going away from the goalie, net was going behind the net, the cinnamon call for like a cinnamon pop. There's a bunch of different ways and ways that you can set your feet as the fencing to get these forage to, yeah, they let them forage at you, but don't let them forage you, and then like kind of round off and keep their speed and go on the back check. So you can catch them,

“but it is hard, but communication is more of the thing. There are times where you have to play”

offense, right? You see a guy open through the seam and he has a chance to break away. You got to make the pass, but you just can't do that every time. Every play can't be long because they're going to hound you. Yeah. So in the event that they do move on, do you like the herkage chances against the golden light? I think it's going to be a little bit of a dogfight because like I was matching Vegas loves the hole on the puck in the ozone. They like the cycle game. They're not a high

shot volume team. They can play that game, but they got guys like Jack, I equal were like, it's just hard to get the puck from them, right? Cole coffee, unbelievable player. And so fast, like I couldn't personally catch them. These Carolina guys like are doing pretty good job, but the smaller guys, even the fast guys, you can kind of be physical. You can't be physical on Jack, I equal. He's too big and he's too good. And he's going to beat you. If anyone could like, you know, bring pressure to him

and find someone to pass to. Yeah. He's one of those guys. So I think it, I think their hand, it'll be a lot tougher task for them with this pressure. And Vegas isn't going to get caught up in the moment because they got so many guys that won the cup not too long ago. Yeah. So they're they're used to the moment. So they're not going to be nervous. They're not going to be shy. Their hands are going to be shaky. They're not going to be grabbing their stick to tight, which I'm not saying

Montreal is, but they are a lot more inexperienced than the team like Vegas. Yeah, to I took a I equal to win cons my shout out. Chicklets game notes 15 to one gave that out. Support the boys.

lights of the in the finals. We'll get back to TGA Ocean. He's brought to you by Mountain Dew.

Summers coming. I can't wait for camp bars. So I can't wait to spend more time outdoors. I can't wait to hit the lake. We got beautiful Lake Michigan right next to us. Nothing better than hanging out at day on the lake. Maybe you take the boat out there and you have an ice cold mountain do the refreshing citrusy kick of Mountain Dew. I've got the zero sugar right here, which tastes delicious. Mountain Dew is proudly born in the foothills of Tennessee. It's a refreshing citrus kick

of Mountain Dew in American original. Think about going to some soccer games this summer. Here, there's a big tournament in town. I can't wait to check out some soccer over the summer. I'll be drinking Mountain Dew. Tailgate was some Mountain Dew. Grab a do. Tasting great since 48. Now, back to J.O.C. Got a question for you about Ovi and his future with the team. I know that you've kind of gone back and forth on whether or not you think he's going to come back next year.

First of all, have you talked to him about whether or not he's going to be back? Is that something

that you guys have had a conversation about? Then, too, where are we at right now? Where do you think he's going to end up playing next year? Yeah. I mean, I know he had a couple of pops. Multiple times, one time when he was in Minnesota for the regular season and then I did their last game. So,

“we met up the night before, and chatted for a while and honestly, both times he was completely”

you know, he would say something that would leave me to think that he was leaving and then he would say something else that made me think he was coming back. Honestly, and I don't know this, I haven't spoken to him since the end of the season. I feel like this time off now and kind of seeing the playoffs and the finals coming around. You're so beat up at the end of an 82 game season, especially as you get older that I feel like you almost need like a month off to almost miss

of a little bit because it's been, you know, he's been doing it for so long. And the fact that it wasn't the fact that he didn't make a decision early, like right after like a week after he does, you know, he had a chance to do a big press conference, you know, all that stuff. It makes me think that there's a better chance to these come and back and I'm not going to, like I said, I don't know. We haven't, we haven't talked about it and ultimately the big man's going to make

“whatever decision he wants to make. But I think I personally, and he probably doesn't even want it,”

but I personally would love, you know, a little farewell tour kind of like Copa Dard did this year. I know a lot of fans and a lot of cities would love to go COV one last time at the garden or one last time in Montreal or wherever it is. So I think there's a, I personally lean that he's going to be back, but I have zero facts to, to back it up. Okay, I like that take, I like that take. Did, were you the one that put him on a three, six Mafia or how did that get started with the

Bands of McRadans? No, big man, he'll just he'll grab whatever jingle he likes and, you know,

we had JJ, he would always say JJ went where third, yeah, no. He didn't say JJ went where

though. But he, in the back of the, in the back of the bus, you know, whatever, you know, he's watching a video, you know, hit me baby one more time, came up a couple times, just like whatever jingle kind of he gets like, he says it, but he doesn't know the words, so he makes something up, usually something not okay to say like on air. And then it just kind of, it kind of hits. So, I think it was a Jacob

“chicken that, that, you must have made a dance move or something. I was hurting this time on LTIR,”

so I wasn't, I wasn't in the room for this, but all of a sudden, he became bands and that's literally what he calls him. He calls a chicken band. I love that. That's awesome. I know you're a humble guy, but I have to say, uh, or let me ask this question, you're going to give me a humble answer, but I want you to give me a real answer. The Olympics, gold medal. When this year, you're there, was there a part of you that's like, yeah, all these guys on this team watched me in, in 2014,

and watched that moment. And like, whether you want to admit it or not, like, that definitely shaped the guys who go on to win the gold medal. Did you have a moment to reflect on that and be like, I am part of this because you are, whether you want to admit it or not, you are. And I think there's probably some guys on the team that said that to you, but you are, and we were able to like have that moment being like, yeah, I was part of this family that has now reached the gold medal.

I would say that there was some like things online where they filled up like their favorite Olympic memory type stuff, right? And a couple of guys had my name in there. And a couple of guys reached out and then mentioned something afterwards. You know, I send a couple of guys, congratulations, Texans like that. Obviously, the Kachak brothers, I play with their dad. So they, I saw them and they were little shits in the locker and playing, playing Shini with, you know,

came before me so much. And I learned so much from them that now looking back, I think I can

“appreciate that maybe I played a part in them, wine, the winning Olympic gold medal. I think the”

fact that I didn't win a gold medal, like just kills me. And so like the shootout to me was, it was just a moment in a game where I got to do something. I loved and was super confident in it. Yeah. Like at that time, probably any, like probably even now, I would put myself up against anyone in the world in like a one-on-one shootout thing, right? And so in that moment, it didn't feel super big to me because it was just like I was having, I was literally smiling out there. We were

laughing on the bench. I was like having a blast. Yeah. You know, so the moment didn't feel as big to me as maybe some of the, some of the people that were at the bar at 6 a.m. that woke up early to go to, you know, to go with their kid or to celebrate or to chant my name in the, you know what I mean? And I didn't feel that same suspense in the game because I had a lot of confidence in it. But I do, I, I do now, I appreciate the fact that that played a factor in these kids lives and,

and maybe made them a little bit more hungry to play on TV and say I'm going to go to metal. Yeah. Well, I got to say personally, you saved my life because, uh, that morning, my friend, who owns a bar in Chicago, he opened the bar early. We thought, like we did like a bar soul event. I thought, you know, whatever. Like it's 6 a.m. like there's going to be like 20 people that show up. It was a line down the block and it was packed. And I

drank so many shots that day that I had to be peeled off the middle of the street at like noon.

And I made a rule from that point forward. I never like taking free shots from fans ever again.

So you saved my life. Thank you. Because I, there was a bad path like I, it was such an unbelievable moment. And where people were at declines on that that morning. Like it was just, it's the best. Like we were in a bar in Chicago and everyone was chatting your name. And you're on the blues at the time. Like that's not your, I mean, like that was the moment. It was so fucking cool.

“I appreciate it. No, honestly, after the game, I had to do a bunch of media stuff and go to”

like the NBC studios and stuff. And all I wanted to do, you know, hockey players, right? I know you're at the Olympics. And a lot of Olympic athletes are not like hockey players, but all I wanted to do is go grab like a couple beers with the boys. Yeah. I kind of celebrate the W, you know? Yeah. I couldn't find a beer anywhere. So it was, it was not that I think back. This was already sleeping when I got back to the room. So do you remember every single shot that you had in the

shoot out? From the Olympics? Yeah. Yeah. What was the thought process like before every shot? Did you know what you were going to do before you started the shot? Are we just waiting to react to see what, what was happening? And then you would adjust on the fly or how that go? Oh, yeah, can you break it down? Because you could do all this. Yeah, you could psych yourself out. I imagined by like overthinking every single shot. Do you all sit? Yeah. Tell us what you're going

through your head and what ended up happening on all this. Or will history. Yeah. I can, I can break it down.

“So the first one was pre-scouted. We pre-scouted. I think that day we had, I think we had”

pre-game meal at the USA hockey house. I want to say, we had TVs with like a shootout loop going. And so while you're eating, you can just watch the goalie and watch the tendencies.

I knew I was going five-hole in the first one. I don't think I had shot on Bob yet in the NHL up

to that point. And so I knew I was going five-hole. I went first. I was super confident in that one. Went down, five-hole. Scored. The second one. What was the second one? The second one. So actually the first time I didn't play in a long time. Because I was like a fourth liner. And we had four players on the fourth line. And so, and we went to a third period. The game was tight. We went to overtime. I didn't really, I hadn't really been on the ice for like 45 minutes.

So my very first time down the ice. If anyone goes rewatches it, I actually lose the puck on my own. Skating down the ice goes like, man, my stick feels like really long. Yeah. And it was just kind of a little awkward. Second time, go down. I lost the puck in my move. And ended up just throwing it five-hole. It was a complete panic. Not on purpose.

And then, I apologize. The second one. I deeks four hand. Beat them clean.

Shot it over the net. Yep. And then the next one. I lost the puck again. Through it five-hole. My third one. I believe. So the number on four. Yep. I'm going to four. It says that in the fourth round that you missed high over the crossbar, which you went after. And then the fifth round was, you went back to back. Yeah. And you had a quick shot. Yeah. So I did a little like the five-hole move, or I kind of like,

and then I wanted to deek. And I made the deek and he didn't move. So I just went quick over his elbow. There's a lot of people make the mistake and I was small screen. Whoops. They don't go for the top corner. You go right over their elbow because that's where it dips down. That goes off the bar, off his back in the net. Shot five. I go back in because I didn't come back in yet. He hit it out of the air with the bottom of his stick. And so I beat him clean. My two best moves.

I shot over the net and the other one. He batted out of the air with the bottom of his blade. And then six shot. We're going again. And I was like, I might as well go back to five-hole and see,

see what happens. So I had never planned on going down the icy exact same way until I went,

excuse me until I went the second time because I figured, all right, I might be going a little bit here. I'm going to try to get in his head and try to psych him out. And then I ended up going that in that same route, the rest of my career after that. Did you know that you were going to get

“called on four times in a row? Was that part of the game plan? No. And honestly, after my two misses,”

I kind of felt back. It was like Patrick Keynes over here, Zack Breeze it over here, who was like my idol that went forward to Kota. And Pavelsky's phenomenal at shootout. There's so many guys where like I was like, I don't know what, I just felt bad that they didn't get a chance to go. And so I actually, because I went so slow and they were kind of rushing us through this, I actually got more tired skating back to the bench because the Olympic size ring. I got more

tired going back to the bench and coming back out. And there was one point I finally got in the bench.

They had just went missed. And I like looked at the coach and the coaches are laughing. And they look at me and I'm like, you want me to go again? And they're like, yes. And I think Brooke's Orbit grabbed me by the shoulder and threw me back on the ice. But it was crazy. We were, I was having an absolute blast out there. It's awesome to watch back. I just pulled it up at that last one. I mean, Bob's got to, like, have you, did you ever talk to him after like you going five whole that many times

on him? It's got to be as brutal. Yeah. Well, so this is probably one of the most disrespectful

“things I've done is I think a year later I had a shootout against something. And I went five”

whole and scored. Oh, no. But and then two months after the Olympics, I had a penalty shot. So in-game penalty shot against Jonathan Quick, who was bailing me out behind me, the whole shootout. And I ended up going five whole on him, too. He smashed his the crossbar with his stick because he was so upset. Yeah. I feel like they don't do that a lot anymore. It's very rare that you see an in-game penalty shot. Why are reps like so reluctant to call that? I don't know. I don't know

what the, if they're so many demon now, they're just such good skaters that like, I feel like guys get caught a lot, like fully caught, whereas like my nightmare is not breakaway in-game because I'm not a very good skater because I almost know someone's coming to catch me. There's a same in football, like five break free and you're running the sun behind you. You see that, like, shadow catching up to you. You're just not going to make it. So I don't know why you don't get penalty shots.

“I wish, honestly, as players, depending on who the breakaway, who's having the breakaway,”

you'd almost prefer the power play over like this guy, like whoever it is going. Yeah. You don't get a pick any one on the ice. I think it's whoever the penalty is on. Yeah, stick with him. Yeah. I just have like a cap's porn related question for you. Can you just talk about like, you know, having a history of banging your head against the wall in the playoffs and what that was like and then what it meant to finally get over that hump

in 2018 and finally get it done and how you celebrated that night afterwards? Yeah. So it was, uh, I came into DC and they had, you know, this problem of not going all the way right and feeling like they had what it took. That was the same thing and St. Louis for us.

We were always losing to Chicago when they were winning all their cups in the L.A.

Anaheim and San Jose were we're so hard to play against. And so we had all these and we were just super physical blue collar, nothing too flashy. And so I had a lot of that hard day. I brought over from St. Louis and it was the same thing that they had in DC. So we go, uh, when the presence trophy, the first, my first two years and we're almost going and thinking like we have to win, we're too good not to win. And there was almost a little bit of that doubt right

that like if we don't win like we really like, this was the best opportunity we ever going to have. Everyone was saying that those two years were OVs window and then OV was going to fall off. They were wrong about that. And then, uh, that year, it was, uh, very Trots had this meeting with us. I think we're in Colorado. I'm not positive. It was in between periods or like after a game we played

old guys. He started with OV, then back from then me, then Carlson. Um, and basically said like,

“if you don't start defending the way you have to defend, you will not play again. Like you don't”

play in the games. And, you know, that's, you know, for, for guys that are almost always going to

get their ice time for a coach to hear that. And like almost hear like the emotion is voiced like they he's like that serious. For whatever reason, we just kind of started, we just kind of started clicking and everyone started buying in. Um, and then when playoffs came around, it was like, the guys that don't score very much came up big in big moments. The star players that don't usually block shots or back check as hard as they can and stop in front of the net. Those guys

OV and Koosie, those guys were doing it. Um, you know, the guys that, you know, everyone, the goal-tending holds was struggling going into the playoffs. Um, and then after comes in game three round one and takes us the whole way. Um, so it was, there was just an amazing amount of joy, like when we won the cup, especially the way we did it. So our team partied all year, like, together,

right, not like in an unhealthy way. But in a way of like, we're always together. We're always

doing things together. Um, and so when we won, like, it was just the same thing. Like everything was together. We all went to hawk us on together. Um, I actually tried not to drink that much that night because I wanted, I wanted it. I wanted to be with the cup when the sun came up and I'm a bit of a sleeper, you know, if things things could out of control, if I sit down and like, I'm out. Yeah. Um, and, uh, and so I ended up doing it, um, you know, I, I had a decent amount of drink,

but we were sitting in our team lounge, um, standing up right next to me and Matt and this can in and our team services guy or security guy. Um, and we sat there with a couple. The sun came up, um, like the 20, whatever floor of the Mandarin hotel. Um, and so it was just an amazing experience. And I mean, hawk us on to like, Ovis in the DJ booth. Yeah. Right and riff in the cup around. So, um, what a time. It was unreal. So I was lucky enough to be in hawk us on and I thought

I was getting kicked out and there was a security guy that came over me tapping on my shoulder and said, go to that guy because there was another security guy shining a flashlight. So I walked to that guy and then that guy says, go to that security guy right now. There's another guy flashing a flashlight. I walked to like four security guys and then finally the last guy says, all right, come right here and it's me and the Stanley Cup is right there. And it's just, it's filled to the top with beer.

And they were like, take a sip. I didn't want to take a sip because like, you guys were around that you guys had just won the cup. Um, but then, uh, I forget who held it up. It might have been DSPs in the picture. Um, trying to remember who else, but anyway, somebody was held up. I was able to disrespectful at this point, not to drink out of it. And it was just an amazing place to win the Stanley Cup in Las Vegas. I actually saw you in one of the elevators. It was like not too long

“after the game was over. I think you were going up back up to your room to get changed. I was on one”

side. You were on the other side of the elevator. I didn't say anything because you were with your family and stuff. I could see that you were like very emotional about how things went and seeing how happy you were and how much that moment meant to you. Like that actually made me emotional. I was like, this is, it's just cool to finally see these guys win. And so thank you. This is a long way of me saying thank you on behalf of DC for one of the Stanley Cup because it was awesome.

No, I appreciate it, man. We did, we did everything with the fans. We felt we felt all the love. That's why we were, you know, I don't know how many teams have done it. I guess I don't really pay too much attention. But like, we wanted the fans involved in everything. Every party we had, you know, everyone knew where we were. We'd make sure, you know, for the top of Don Tito's, like, we saw the fans and their chanting. Like, I grabbed the cup. We'd run down stairs and we

run through the crowd and make sure everyone could touch it. Yeah. It was unbelievable. Honestly, we didn't even know what to do. We were so happy that we were just like, I guess we could just all party together. And it was, it was blast. It's the best trophy to win just because of that celebration. Like that, that no other sport has that type of celebration that lasts for like two, three days with the cup going everywhere. It's just, it's awesome. You invented a new way to drink beer. I've

never seen that before. You shirt yourself and then drink it right through the, right through the

“belly. The Kevin Bacon Hollow Man. That's what I call it. When was the last time you did that?”

I did it for at a charity that one time for Locker's charity event, Craig Walklin. And that's pretty much it. Actually, no, sorry, I did it at the American century the year we won in the summer. On the 17th hole, my brother was like, go ahead, do it. And I can't remember who I was playing against or playing with. But they started walking. And I'm walking off the tee. I throw my hat.

remember, like, my, the guys playing with me almost like, like, disgusted. Like, what's this guy doing? Right now. That's awesome. But, uh, and then I, then I actually hit the put on that hole for the birdie with the beer helmet. Oh, hell yeah. So give us a target where you finish at this year's tournament. Like, if you, if you reach what place will you do the beer selling? You have been topped 20 by the way. That's my fault. You want one year you finish 11. So that's my fault.

If that was the, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're thinking if we get top, top 15, I think top 15's doable. I actually, do you guys know who moan or men is the old Canadian golfer? No, I don't know. I saw that he's like one of the supposed to be one of the greatest ball strikers of all time. Okay. And absolute character. I watched YouTube clips all the time. And they were in time where there wasn't like YouTube, right? So there was like in the 90s and stuff. But anyways, he had this

very weird way of holding a single plane swing, kind of what Bryce and does, how his arms are really

high, basically your setup is at where impact would be. Anyways, I've been trying that out this

spring and it's, it's taken a lot of pain out of my back. And so I'm hitting the ball pretty, pretty solid right now. So we'll, we'll see. We'll see. Once I get Tahoe though, you know, I don't know, once the fans, I'm, I'm a mental, I'm just, yeah, I don't know them. I don't have the mental toughness that the golfers have, you know, it would almost be like throwing those guys in a Stanley Cup game, like they would be shaking, you know, because they just don't know.

“That's, that's what I'm like in Tahoe, but yeah, and it is so competitive with, you know,”

have Marty Fish, we're almost seems to be getting his form back to. So staff, yeah, staffs back this year. Yeah, it's a good one on 23. Yeah, it's going to be, it's going to be a fun, fun time is, our favorite thing. All right, I have a couple quick questions, and we appreciate you coming on. Have you ever been sunk by Yans? And again, I have not. Okay, are you sure? I'm pretty sure. Okay, maybe? I don't know. I actually don't know the answer

to this. Can Yans tell you otherwise? No, I didn't ask Yans, but I just, I mean, he's sunk so many people.

I just, you never know, like we need a full list of like everyone who's been sunk by Yans.

I just, I don't think I'm on the list. Okay, okay, that's good. Also, you're a very competitive guy. Obviously, Stanley Cup champion, you know, Captain America. Why, break it down for me. Why are you unable to get the first spot in the pickup line at your kid's school? I think I think I just, I just can't get there in an hour early, you know? You don't want it enough. You don't want it. It was like 55 minutes early. I thought like that's, I left my house. I live three minutes away.

I left my house an hour early, and I was still number five. And honestly, I was there yesterday doing a scoop of ice cream for root of your floats for like the class party or whatever. Yeah. I walk out. It's over an hour until pickup time. I walk out and I see two cars already sitting there and they were the people weren't even in their cars. Oh, they're just camping out

“and like going for a walk. They weren't in their cars and you have to have a yellow name tag on”

your visor, right? So they can like see my phone like whose parents are there. And so I saw their name, I'm not going to, I'm not going to air it out, you know, for the world to see. But, you know, I might be going through the school directory and send them an email saying this is like, you're the problem. You need to just like drop your kids off and then leave your car there for the day. Yeah, I know. That's good. I should. I know I know the curves red and there's a fire. Like,

I don't care. I like, I need to leave it there. I lost my chance, though. Kids are getting home today and all hell is going to break. It's, it's just funny. I don't know why it just makes you laugh because it's very like, guys retire and then like their competitive nature is like, what do they do

next? Oh, they try to be the first in the pickup line for like, I've seen many times and it's just like,

yeah, how am I going to channel my competitiveness? I got to be number one. It's, it's, honestly,

“it's brutal. Like, I don't know, that's what they, they should have like some type of game or some type of”

something that we could do when we retire. Like, if you can't skate anymore, first like, hey, every, look, whatever it is, it can be math problems for all like here. Like, if I could get like 10 out of 10 more than backstrum, can get, if he, backstrum gets 9 out of 10, like, I'll feel good about myself. Yeah, but I played the men's basketball league. Churchly, it's just a pickup game on Saturday. It was like last fall and it's four on four. You can only play two times in a row and it's like

games to 11 by like 2s and 3s. It's like, it's fast. Right. And I'm, I mean, I was like, boxing out. I was on the floor. Some of these guys were like 60. And I went so hard that, like, as last couple games, like, I felt my back starting to go and I was like, I don't care. Like, I can't lose these games.

later, because I just, I can't help myself that like, I need to win. Um, which is why, maybe I just need to bring that to Tahoe or something. I bring it to the flip-cup game, but I still do. Yes, I got to witness that. All right. Last question, rowback question. I'm wearing it right now, rowback.com,

promo code take 20% off your first purchase, Qsips, Polos, hoodies, jogger shorts, rowback.com,

“promo code take great golf stuff. If you're coming out, you should be watching the golf tournament”

Tahoe, but if you're coming out, get some rowback. Zach, finish this off with a question for TJ. How are we doing TJ? I thought. It's up, man. I had a quick question for you. As someone who's very familiar with the ice rink, obviously, I was curious, uh, what sport would you consider harder to master and possibly more impressive between figure skating and sprinting? Oh, so gosh. So skate is sprinting on the ice? So sprinting just like on a

Olympic level sprinting versus yeah, but Olympic level figure skating, but also Olympic level

sprinting. Yes. I would say there's probably an insane amount of train that goes into the sprinting,

but the things that figure skaters do on the ice, the best hockey player in the world won't even come close, like not remotely close. I mean, I would prefer to be a sprinter over figure

“skater personally, but I think figure skating at the Olympic level, um, I think it's, I think”

to me personally, it's it's more impressive. I appreciate that input is a professional. That means more than you know. Let's go. We have, do we have a back going here? I got a question with you guys. One last question. Guys, they're excited. I'm talking about sprinting on a track by the way. I know a few. Well, last question TJ, who would you say is more well known in the global sense? Uh, I show speed or president Trump. President Trump. Okay. Thank you.

No more questions. This is, we're just getting you involved in all of our internal stupid debates. So you said it was Zach on one of them and then with us on the others. So we're okay. Yeah, we're one to one. I just wanted to get you know, we need to get one back. Have you ever tried? So we got let's keep going rubber masks. Oh, we don't want to get. If you were in a, uh, a battle royale and you could pick four animals to be on your side, how early would you draft a single hornet

to be on your team? One single hornet? Yes. One single hornet. Yep. It wouldn't be in my top

“honor. I don't think. Okay. What's the color you have to say that? You could have just said, no,”

not my top. Yeah, not not not not not. Yeah. No, it would take a while. You're not thinking about hornets can sting you multiple times and also if somebody's allergic to a hornet, it's a good move to them. I thought they lose their sting. No, common God. That's a common problem in this conception. That would be a honeybeat would die. A hornet can go round after round after round. What's the color of cheese TJ? Orange? Oh, I don't know. That's the one on the board on the board. Okay. All right. Here's

one. Oh, geez. Yeah, cheese. Cheese. Cheese. We had a cheese. Yeah, we had a very long and very like mad debate about yellow or white. And I don't remember which side I'm on is what? I mean, I'm yellow. I think if I, if I, if I really thought about, I would assume white. Okay. Yeah. Good answer. All right. Good answer. Here's one that you shouldn't answer, but I'm going to ask it anyway. Would you say titty-fucking is underrated or overrated? Holy shit. I'd say, I'd say over. Yes. Everything's coming

up. Max right now. This is my guy. As I'm wearing this fucking jersey. That's great. That's great. Oh, this is great. Oh, man. Well, TJ, you're the man. We can't wait to see out there a best-a-lock and we're, we're excited. And let's go, let's go top 10. Fuck it. Top 10. Top 10. Top 10. Number one on the pickup line. Monorman. Top 10. Let's do it. Yeah, I'm going to check out this monorman guy. He looks like Roddy's up. It's a great Canadian golfer name too.

Oh, this guy. Yeah. Yeah, we got this. Oh, I'm telling you, it's my entire Instagram algorithm right now. It's just straight into monorman. I love it. All right. Thank you, TJ. You're the best man. Thanks boys. Thanks for having me. TJ, oh, she's brought to you by Microsoft and Microsoft 365 Copilot. Before we get back to the chaos, we got to tell you about something that helps people

This is a paid advertisement. Okay, firefest the week boys. Before we do that, I got something special for someone in the booth.

Ooh, Maxwell, elite birthday present. By the way, we win the birthday present. Yeah, PFT forgot. Wait, that's really fucking funny. He forgot. And also when we went to the bar after the plugs first loss of the season which sucked, shout out the team we played, they were better than us. The balancer wished Max of a birthday. Happy birthday. That's tough. Really good guys. Yeah, he was like, hey, he was like, get that guy drunk. It's still his birthday.

Well, I did try to get Max drunk yesterday. So after the game, I'm on the text thread, unfortunately, I've been on the DL for the Pug. So I sent over payment for beers. Because when I was on KTX team last year, it was like beers after I'll take care of some of that. I sent over beers after money for you guys. And then Max sent it back to me last night and said, it was a bad guy. Well, we got, we got fucking killed. And you, we had, we did two things. The plugs are undefeated.

We're undefeated. We're undefeated. The plugs were undefeated. And this was our last game, the regular season. So we have playoffs next week. We're 6 and 0. You don't want to be perfect. We agreed. But two things that went against us last night. One, PFT talked about post game beers before we won the game. And two, for some reason, we warmed up before the game,

which we've never done in the history of the Pugs. And then we got absolutely blasted. And

every single person, I would say had a bad moment. Like literally, it takes a team to play as bad as we played. It was that it was just every single person did something at some point where you're like,

“fuck, I think it was all right. Hank was all right. Yeah. Hank was all right. Yeah. Hank was all right.”

Yeah. Hank was all right. Yeah. Hank was all right. Yeah. Hank was all right. Yeah. Hank and Colon. Yeah. There. There. They were told me the last out. True. Well, he had that. Yeah. He's got that. Yeah. He's got that. Yeah. He did that. That softball. But we all were, it was, it was a team effort in the loss. And it did hurt a little bit because in the first inning, I got on base in the first basement was like, hey, like this entire team were bad, we're badgers. We just graduated. We're

huge fans. And then we just got fucking low race. We play softball in a league full of 25 year old white kids. They're all going to be fans of you. But I said, but what did I say in the post game beers, I think it might be time that we start playing more age-appropriates. I think we're, we're on the, everyone on the team is on the wrong side of 30. And we're, we're the slowest team. The speed are slow. The team speed that we play against is shocking. But it's really just because

they're, we're just looking at our past. We're looking at the same guys that we are just 10 years younger, 20 years for me. Yeah. Either way. Yeah. We came last. It's one loss. And we're like, we're like, we're like, we're too old for this league. Yeah. Well, it's one loss. It's good. You don't want to be, we can talk to TGO, she about this. But you don't want to win the president's trophy. No, I don't want to be you want to be undefeated in the regular season. We said that. Yeah, that was,

that was a big. No, it's a good luck. I've always said that about about the dozen too. It's like, you don't want the regular season championship. It only matters in the playoffs. And that's real. Also not to, sorry, but that's fucking not to point fingers, but I'm pretty sure that was the

first time that armpit ever, I'm to game because I've never seen a field set up the way he

set up. The first base was 100 million miles away from home play. I love that. And the pitcher's

after the third inning. Yeah. Because I kept on getting called I missed ball and strike by about six

inches short. Like, what would you guys say 20 times in a row? And then finally, someone on our team

“was like, I think the pitcher's mound is way too deep. And I moved it. And then I was just throwing”

strike. And they didn't say anything about it. He just set up the field incorrectly. He's like, you know better than I do. Yeah. Trevor Bowler tried to change the pitcher's mound a few times. They threw him in jail for it. Yeah. It was like the opposite of the Hoosiers measuring the rim. Like, if they measured the rim, if they measured the pitcher's mound, be like, see, it's not anything like we've ever played on. Either way. All right. I won't score the play off. I'm not going to send

beer money before games anymore. We're six of what disagree with Max's assessment. It makes me a

bad guy. Well, I sent you the, I sent you the memo back. You accepted that you, you accepted it first.

Well, I told you, well, I told you at first I was like, we don't, we don't do beers after we lose. We still did do beers after we lost. They were sad beers. They were sad beers. And then you were like, well, I'm going to send it to you anyway. And I, it was rude. It was rude to decline at that point because I already tried to decline. I sent it to you way earlier in the day. What are you talking about? I know, but I tried to say that we'll don't send it to me because we

don't do it. Don't send it to me until we win. And you said, well, if you lose, then just send it back. Factor fiction. Did you say that? I didn't deserve. I don't remember if I say that, but I didn't. And then I sent it back. And I said, I didn't know. I did not. With a bad guy. And then you immediately went to the group chat and said, did we win? Knowing that we lost? I didn't know. And we didn't, we didn't deserve free beers. We did actually get free beers because also my best friend owns a bar.

So that was, it was sad beers. Shut up, Dave. All right. But this is nothing to do with what I was about to say. And that was a hunt. That was obviously getting brought up at some point. Of course, of course. Of course. But it's good to lose as a team. There's no, there's no finger pointed. We sucked. And there was, and yeah, there was, there was no internal fighting. No, we're just for like, hey,

we sucked. Yeah. Yeah. It was good. It's never happened. Except for Hank. He was awesome.

“Max, would you like your birthday gift? I forgot that that's how we got here. This is a custom”

one of one made by Big Dom, Philadelphia Eagles, Jersey and the back. 99 meatballs. That's incredible. Incredible. Shout out Big Dom. What a guy. He sent it to us. Oh, this thing is, I need you wearing this on game day. He's put it on. Go, go back to the booth. Yeah. No, it's, that's the actual, like, John Field. Like, they had, they, he went into the training room and was like, I need a 99 meatballs. Oh, that's going to be good. He's so pumped. They're going to put it on. Yeah,

I just say, yeah, tarps off. He's doing it behind the camera. Max, never sat a camera. Put it on in front of the camera. savvy savvy move. We just got a private crack show. He took a shirt off and behind the cameras. All right. He's putting it on. Get back in the booth. Let's see in the booth. Oh, man. You look like Jason Kelsey looks so awesome. Come on. This is Jason Kelsey. I actually come out here and show everyone. It's a, it's a really, no, this is how it's supposed to fit that way. You got to be, that's got to be your big

“game jersey now. We can't get crap. I feel strong. You say this doesn't fit. I think it's, no,”

I know it looks great. Yeah, your big game. This is, like, this, if I was, go, go, talk to the mic. Go talk to the mic. Go to the mic. Go to the mic. Go to the mic. Go to the mic. Go to the mic. Go to the mic. Go to the mic. Go to the mic. Go back in the booth. Go back in the booth. If you look awesome, big game meatballs, 90 like meatballs is such a good jersey. That's a jersey you see, like, someone takes a picture of it as like dudes rock. So like, it's, it's, it's max throwing up on

himself at the link. And they're like, look at this 90, I'm meatballs guy. Shut up, big dump. This jersey is awesome. I love this jersey. Let me see, let me see how fat I look. Oh, no, I look good. Yeah, you do look. I look really good. Hell yeah. This thing is awesome. I love, oh, what a jersey. What, what a day. This thing sick. You know, is there any possibility that if you have a bad game when you're wearing the 99 meatballs jersey that the, that the jersey doesn't look as cool? Do we

have any pads? I feel like it would look better if I was wearing pads. I think you might have circumphold pads on Sunday maybe. Maybe helmet, maybe pants too. Yeah. Dude, like, I feel like I'm playing in the game. Yeah, you look like it. And you're 99 meatballs. Yeah, you got to eat 99 meatballs. Two. Uh, Hank, you're fire fest. Did you buy a field goal post? Um, I said, Hank, you're fire fest. Yeah, this, well, this, this was like I came into work today. And it was like a

where should we put the field goal post? And I was like, stop it. Like, do you think you'll use it

to kick field goals? Okay, in our gym? Yeah. Can I sidebar with SPFT real quick? I'd like to sidebar with PFT. I'd like to have a one on one conversation with PFT. No one else can say anything. Can I just say first of all that this is kind of, I asked for a field goal post two and a half years ago and you guys

“laughed at me. Well, no, here's the thing. You guys for good reason. You guys said, I wanted, I wanted to”

get a correct answer in that is the correct answer. When you asked for field goal, it was going to be just a manufactured field goal from the field goal company. This is a field goal post from the San Diego Chargers old practice facility. Okay. Oh, my God. It's I'm in the Qualcomm. It's from the practice facility. San Diego Chargers practice facility. What part of that 39 are staying? It's just trying to get a

field, it's, so all right. So here's what I've been struggling with. I've been TJ, the producer

Yak, mostly sports has been texting me to this because he's been in contact with someone who is trying to procure the field goal posts. And I've said no to it probably 15 times, but every time I say no to it, the little devil on my shoulder says, but it would be sweet. And then I've finally, last night, he was like, hey, I need an answer. This guy keeps asking and I was like, actually said, no, hold on. I actually texted me. I said, no, we don't want it. And then I took a beat and I said,

we got to have it. Yeah. I'm glad that we're finally getting one. Yeah. I'm very max. What's your question? Where do we, this office is big? This office is not field. We'll post that. Max, shut the fuck up for a second. Yeah, big cat. Is it, which, which posts is it? Crossbar upright,

all the above. It's the whole. That answer. Yes, that the furthers my point of my question.

This is, I'm telling you, this is going to pay for itself. Where does it go? Somewhere. That's a problem for later. I'm hearing a lot of noes or a lot of reasons why we shouldn't do things. How about some why we should. Zach, question indoor outdoor. Don't know. Okay. Here's a thing. We don't own the outdoor. Max, why do you care? I'm just, we're just, we're just talking this out. Let me give him a way or does it go? How about this? We're about on the roof and then we

“put a big net behind it. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I think about that. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I guess one birthday”

celebrated now is like, oh no one can tell me anything. What if we just put it? Hank, I don't even know. Hank and I are just the adults in the room right now. What if we put it? As I'm wearing a 99-mea ball. Do you see anything? What if we put it flush against an exterior wall? So like, almost like super glue it up against the wall and then you can just practice it out. It's like, it's like hitting a tennis ball. Initially, my idea is where to put it, like put it in the gym,

against one of the back, uh, one of the back walls. Yep. Would be a good place to put it, um, that way you could kick off of the turf that we've got, and with the turf is getting better. Yep. You could put it on the roof. You could put it on the roof. You could put it in the parking lot. Uh-huh. Which would be cool too. The loading dock? The loading dock. This studio? What if we just had it, I bet you it would we should get two. If we, if we take it apart and put it back together

in this studio, I think it might be able to fit. We should get two. Um, because those ever heard of one, cut it up and just put it put little pieces and random parts of the office. No, that's terrible. 45 feet tall. Hmm? Is that tall? It would fit against the back wall of the gym. Also, we could cut the, uh, post or the, you know, the center part, make it just on the ground. Yeah. It's not 45 feet tall. It'd be like 35 feet tall.

Yeah. And then you could just, you could do it like LSU style. You just use the side goal post, and then you just put an H bar. Mm-hmm. That way you use some of the entire goal post space going all the way down the ground as opposed to starting it 10 feet up in the air. I think, hey, the problem that you're having is the, probably the year having is you have too many enablers in your life. Yeah. Okay. The problem that you're having, Hank, is that we don't ask, like,

what we're going to do with something. We just get it and then we figured out the rest. But you're getting something that doesn't even fit. And also, on the earth,

“in our, in our office, which is the only thing we can control. I just did a rough, rough math of how”

much 45 feet is. That's, that's about six Wemby's tall. Okay. Thanks. I didn't realize how that's so tall. Think of six. Think about looking at one Wemby and then think of looking at six in a row of Wemby. We also have, we've got a basketball hoop. And that four and a half basketball hoops. Yeah. Six Wemby is to make way more sense. Um, you know what, Max, it was your birthday yesterday. Wrong again. When we recorded the show,

Fielgo close. No. It's, it's, it's sitting out right by your desk right now.

If there's a, there's fucking rabbit out there. No, it's not a rabbit. Go and grab it. It's a big tube. It says, my name. It says, uh, the address. Can we just go back to this Fielgo post thing for a sec? Sure. I have another one. I have an other one. I have an other actually no present out there. Just wanted to get it. Get them out of the room. Okay. Nice. Is that Wemby thing is fucking still? Holy shit. Basketball hoop is 10 feet. What do you think might be seven Wemby's to?

So you didn't even get it right? He didn't get the right. The Wemby's right? No, they're actually one. Why, okay. He's opening it in here. Just open it in the other room. Open it in front of a, uh,

microphone in the other room. I don't like that. I'm in this room. There's, go going that room.

You can't see it. No, this is good place. Yes. Just, just, just sit. Okay. Just sit, open your present. Open your present. Sit cross, cross like it. Like a little, little boy at Christmas morning. Uh, Hank, we will figure it out. And if we don't,

“we'll just throw it in the river. Right? Yeah. That's what you do. Yeah.”

And then we'll forget about it. And then PFT will magnet fish one day and find it. And be like, oh shit, I got a feel. I got a feel of a post. All right. So Max, I don't like the shame that Hank is putting on this kind of a bummer. Yeah. It is a bummer. He's, he's a vibe killer right now. Open up. I got more vibes to kill if you were. I actually wasn't going to bring this up on the show. But I guess if we're doing five kills. Yeah. So you're your best asses on the

vibe. What is this? So this, uh, Max's favorite baseball player or Warren was favorite baseball player. Oh, actually hung up in a stadium. Love this to commemorate him. Love this. It's Jason Worth. I can't believe I have a big Jason Worth banner. That's actually set. Yeah. So you're welcome, Max. Happy birthday. I'm sorry that I missed your birthday the other day. Now he's, and he's wearing his, his fillies uniform. This is the National's Jason. Oh, okay. But it's a giant Jason Worth

Pope. I know that you love the guy, right? It's not the guy. Yeah. That's pretty cool. It's pretty awesome. Why did Max, I also have a gift for you at my desk. I did get it for your birthday. I'm sorry to intro up in time. Do you not accept it, Max? I'm going to re-gift it to the National's there. Okay. I have a, I have a gift for you at my desk as well. What's the gift for Max? I want to go get it. Yeah. Let's go get a new set of golf clubs. While he goes out there.

“Oh, and I've been in golf clubs. I'll kill the vibes. Go get it. Go get it. Is there actually?”

Yeah. Oh, I guess. Go get it. It's also like a tube thing. Go get there. The tube. It's just two of me. The Boise State turf is a outdoor turf. Yeah. The outdoor turf has those little black beads. I'm aware that get everywhere. Mm-hmm. That's a, a problem. Hey, can I, can I, can I tell you about this new technology they came out with recently? It's called a vacuum cleaner. Oh, this. What's the problem? So it's a vacuum cleaner,

dude. Why don't you just tell people like, if you use, if you use cleats on that turf, you got to, yeah, take the cleats off before you exit the turf. Yeah, you got to know. It's, it's that, we'll put it people running. The, the basketball court is going to be black beads. We'll just get dustpusters, dude. Well, actually, you know what, we'll probably get a dustpuster

“add deal. Yeah. This is probably going to pay for itself. Also, can't you just take the black beads off?”

Potentially, but you just like not shake it out. Do you think that would work? Still like, would you be able to run in it? Yeah. If you didn't have the beads? Why not? I think that's, I think you can question. I think this is, again, these are problems for later and not right now. I buy the things. Then we figure it out. I love watching Max's open presence. I can watch this all day. Okay. What do you got there? Max, do you talking to a mic?

Is that my con? Just work means? No, it's not on. Okay. Now it's not on? No.

Yep. Now it's off. Yep. Okay. First part of the present is,

oh, oh, breaking moose, breaking moose, breaking moose. Dom just texted me, not big Dom, medium Dom, my assistant, because he's live listening to the show. He said, the part of the turf we are getting doesn't have black beads. Okay. Okay, suck my dick, okay. Sorry, that's not it, Hank. Yes, hold. Shut up, PCA. These ball archers are cool. What? You can't help them. You got them. Well, this is for everyone. This one is right hand. It's like the child. That's handed on the other side.

So when you're playing one one side, you can let other people know also what you're playing. Nice.

I don't know what this is. Oh, Wisconsin. Lighthouse. Okay. So these are these are

“guests for everyone, but Max. No, I got one. No, I know, I know. Cool. Here's Blake, your dog.”

Now, Hank, did you buy these? No, shout too. Lightwork engraving, charge them. That's cool. Lightwork golf on a. Why is there so much a big box for all this one? This is a half jets, half interlocking thingies for memes. Oh, nice. Oh, yeah. And oh, Duke bounced. Oh, wait, what are these are awesome. Oh, my God, it's a Braille and Molin shot. This is so awesome. Wait, this one is got, this has Blake on one side and it's got Lee Roy on the other. That's awesome. Dude, look at this one.

Look at this. It's a Braille Molin shot. The Zach one is cream team on one side, and then it's four baconator fries, 20 nuggets, two chicken sandwich, two concrete mixers, two double cheese,

murder two large fries, 20 nuggets. I love it. Thank you, Hank. Incredible. We're just

just keeping it. Yeah, this is a great gift. Yeah, hey, I got you a field goal post.

“Shout it shout to us. It's like light L-I-T-E work off on Instagram. And then more than some golf clubs”

right. Yeah, okay. Oh, there's golf in the game. Oh, that's good. Yeah, thank you. So that coming. All right. So one of the, do you have another vibe killer, Hank, or are you doing your fun? That's it. Do you have a virus? Oh, yeah, I do. Okay. Give us the firefighters. Is there, are you going to use that plate? No, probably not. Oh, five sides job. My still blue coffee on the ground. Oh, yeah, now we have to replace this entire entire turf in the studio. Yeah, Amazon, by the way,

20% off all cold brew for until Sunday. So we're running a start of summer, still blue coffee deal. Amazon, go to Amazon, best cold brew. You put it in the fridge, and you just have cold brew all week. You get a picture, put it in the fridge, boom, done cold brew. So good. My fire festival the week is that, uh, and this is going to be a little,

“maybe a little out of touch, I don't know, but I, I own a condo and the woman that lives in there”

previously did a bunch of work to it. Swedish women. So it's all this Swedish shit that I don't know anything about. So like, like, meatballs, like, yeah, like Swedish designs, Swedish design, max just literally is years. And there's, uh, these are automatic shades that you just push a button that goes up, push button that goes down. The other day, the shade that goes up, so I can get out onto my balcony, I clicked to go up. I heard like a little like motor malfunction

and it just stopped. Yeah. So it's, it's stuck. I can't get outside. I was trying to troubleshoot it myself. I found like a plug at the very top of the ceiling. I grabbed a chair and I was on my tippy toe on the chair fell off, which I following by yourself, one kind of scary and then when you could die when then you realize that you're okay. It's like, even more embarrassing. Now, is there any chance that the spider's got into the motor when they're preventing it from

rolling up now? I had not really got any options. And then I ended up getting up to the thing plug it in, plug it back in, didn't nothing. Uh, so all that effort for nothing. And then I'm trying

to basically find this company and get them to come look at it. And it was a like four-hour phone

call process yesterday, just to get like an answer. And hopefully get someone, and I don't know the model, the design, because I didn't saw it myself. And there was like no paperwork, whatever, so it was like, I was talking to the company and they're like, what's this? What's this? What's this? I'm like, I don't fucking know. And they're like, we can look at it. We might have not be able to do shit. It was a great. So it sucks. And if you get you a lifeler, maybe, in case you

start following. Yeah, I mean, so if I'm following off chairs for sure, how about how that was helpful. It was, it was pretty bad. I know it's fine. It was pretty scary. In the moment, yeah. Yeah, I do think that there should be a service where if you buy a house and somebody has done stuff to the house, like, customize it that you have, like, almost a caretaker for the house that will

live with you for the first week to show you how everything's done. Or just like a pamphlet.

A pamphlet has everything. A lot of times a pamphlet doesn't. Because I actually had a similar situation where my, my curtains wouldn't raise up after, like, one time raising them up earlier. And then I was trying to figure out how to make it work, couldn't figure it out. And then after, like, 20 different days of, like, spending all day on Google, trying to figure out how to work these damn things. There should be somebody that looks after the house that tells you, like, they're

a buffer zone. They stay there a week before the person moves out. And then a week with you after

It'd be a good service. So you could just maybe have someone to learn everything about the house. Yeah. Farming out the custodian of the house. Yeah. All right. Well, I'm sorry for your fall, Hank. Yeah, fall. And then it fall. And then my balcony access is compromised. But again, do you know what fixes all this? Feelable post. Yep. So congrats. Thank you. I actually, we should maybe just name it Henry Lockwood's Feelable post. Did the fact that you are pretending like you won't

be fucking chipping balls through that feel-go post within the first week is insane.

You have an answer to where it's going. We're going to find out. Yeah, that's true. It's called a cliffhanger in the business. Okay. The fans are going to be like, oh my God, I have to tune in

“for season two. How tall is where the feelable post goes? How tall is the gym, the gym ceiling?”

It's about six and a half Wembies. Okay. So it should fit. I was actually big down. Nice. All right. PFT. Cool. Well, first of all, sorry for initially missing your birthday max. I also forgot another important birthday on Wednesday. It was, it was Jayden's mom's birthday. Ah, I forgot about that. So shout out, Miss Jackson. When you give up, I've hit so many more. I've hit probably 70 more birthdays and you have this year. But you've missed more than that.

Yeah, he's 100%. Yeah, I don't think Hank, that's the thing is like if you're not a birthday guy,

you usually don't wish somebody a birthday on a day that's not their birthday. That's not a mistake that happens to normal people. But it's happened to me like six times. I did do that to my dad last year. So I feel like that's true. Also after that episode, we talked about this off the year. Probably should have brought it up on the air. Uh, big end. I got a text from Max home with the other day. Yeah,

“where Max was like, hey, guys, uh, when I go on the road on playing tournaments, I let episodes”

build up so don't really stay on top of all the PMTs and then I catch up all at once. And I was wondering why everybody at the PGA Championship kept saying happy birthday to me when it wasn't my birthday. He was very confused by that, which he then found out after he got back. And then I was like, yeah, Max, sorry about that. I think maybe I screwed up, but it was your half birthday. But that might not be right either. He goes, yeah, no, that's not right either. So yeah, that was pretty bad.

That's a bad situation. It's just, I mean, God bless Max because he is, he's the best and he's such good friend of the show. But like, between this and the homosexuals and the, in the meatballs and the perverts and the happy birthday when it's not as birthday, we're just, we just put them throughout. I don't think he mind the perverts probably. Yeah, we're still, but it's got to be a little weird to have like multiple people wish you happy birthday when you're nowhere near your birthday

and you can't figure out why. That's actually like, it would be a good prank to pull on somebody if it was intentional. Right, right. But it wasn't intentional. But now it's something maybe you're losing it. It'd be like, wait, why people say have a birthday with no content. Yes, as if I saw if there's

“somebody that you hate just, the worst thing you can do is spread a vicious rumor that it's their”

birthday when it's not actually their birthday. Yeah. So yeah, I've been picking up the pieces from a lot of birthday mistakes this week and then the other firefest and the Jane reach out and tell and how you find out about it as well. I just saw a lot of people wishing you're happy birthday yesterday. Yeah. Now, Jane was busy. He was, he was at OTA's doing dots yesterday. Then the other firefest, this might seem also a little out of touch, but it's, it's real and it's something

I'm dealing with. I recently became a pool owner and buddy, let me tell you what owning a pool is so much work that you don't think that it's going to be. When it comes to cleaning it out, like, I got a pool guy, but there's a lot of stuff that don't tell you about that you have to do in between pool guy visits. Like, the pool guy doesn't live at the house. The pool guy stops by once every couple weeks, just to top things off. But you got to like figure out the

motors, you got to figure out. It's a lot. It's a lot. And so it's never been something that I'm from

I didn't grow up in a house with a pool never had a pool before. I know a lot of people do have pools growing up. This is all completely foreign to me. So I'm just, day to day, the pool is like, the pool is my baby. Like Hank Scott, his kids on the golf course. I'm just trying to get from son up to sundown, making sure this pool stays alive and doing, you know, trial and error figuring out everything that I can to keep this pool in the, in the correct zone. Yeah. What are you

going to say, Hank? Don't you just, you just need a big net. So that's part of it. Yeah, getting a net. I got a net, got a net. Oh, get the robot. I got, I got the vacuum. Yeah. Do you know work? Yeah, I call him. Do you know what I, here's something you got to probably be ready for with the pool is is potentially having to save wildlife because I saved a chipmunks life on sunday. I think that I did that with a frog, but then we also lost another frog. Like I found a dead frog

I have accent expert back here, by the way. He was just saying everything that you need. Yeah, I got the vacuum. I got the vacuum. I call him Sharky. I got the net. I've got the cover. And then I've got like this pump that's supposed to go on top of the cover to get rid of water when it rains. But that thing hasn't been working. Every time I try to plug it in, it blows all the

“outlets outside. So what else do I need? You should get like the paid strips in the shock and the”

chlorine. And then it'll tell you how much chemicals put into the pool. You want to stay on top of that. Make sure a lot of people aren't peeing in it. You'll be good. Is that like that guy Brian Johnson? You've got his, you tested and you check out the biome. Pretty much yes, but it's practical here in the pool and not in his. Let's be honest, like my pool has a mandatory you will pee in this pool. Oh, yeah. That's totally fine. You just got to up the shock a little bit.

What's wrong with you in the pool? Nothing. I told my kids like they'll say, hey, do I like I have to go to the bathroom and my is a pee and they're like, yeah, I was like, pool. Arizona I peed in that pool like 30 times. I peed in every single pool of every than my entire life. So you're anti peeing in the pool. You grown up peeing the pool's ass weapon. Yeah. I'm out on peeing in the pool. How do they know? Yeah. He's like, if you're just

you're whipping your dick out? No, but if you're like a little kid, you know when they're peeing the pool. It's like what's the problem? What do you do? It's more about like this guy hasn't gotten out of the pool all day. So yeah. It's so fascinating. It must be peeing. Yeah. But what's the problem with peeing in the chlorine? I look, I don't see it every old problem with that. I just, that's just what I was told grown up. Hey, don't piss. But like as far as like a pool owner, what? How does that mean?

“Your pool, your piss. Yeah. Do your thing. No, no, no, no. You were saying that you have to switch things”

more often if there's peeing the pool. The peaking, I mentioned the pH about some pool. There's a lot of pee. So then you just have to add a little bit of extra shock sometimes a little bit of chlorine. But you'll just take it with this risk. And you can take it to the pool guy, like a pool store. And they'll do a little water test on him. He'll be like, "Hey, use this, this and this." You got too much piss and then don't open your eyes for a couple hours. Yeah. And then Blake is

having some issues with pool too. Like, he doesn't like me in the pool. When I go in, he comes over, he tries to like save me and like pull me to shore. Every time which I guess is good instincts, probably thinks you're a chipmunk. But he might think I'm a chipmunk. But in reality, when he that big ass dog jumps into the pool and he just swims over to you with his paws, you just get scraped. Giant scrapes all up and down your body. So there's a lot that we're going

that we're going through. But I'm confident that, you know, we'll come out the other side. Just, you know, I was not ready to be a father to a pool and they don't give you a book when you get one. You need a book, you need a pool book. Okay, my firefest is I'm now against my will in the Pokemon and I don't think I have the brain capacity for it. I was thinking about it. So my

son is in in the Pokemon. He wants he he's collecting cards. I got duped by the way the first time

which was all time you're more on. I bought some on Amazon and they showed up and apparently this is what people do is they buy the Pokemon packs, the real ones. They take out the best cards and they resell them. I bought the Resold one. So I just had a pack of just like I don't even know what a generic Pokemon would be. Snorlax, Squirtle. I don't know. Yeah, he just bought a box of bulk. Yeah, that's tough. So he went over. We got over that child spider. He had a bunch of Pokemon cards.

He gifted some to my son. But I want to like when your kid gets into something, you want to share it with them. You want to you want to be involved in it. I just don't know if I had the brain capacity to understand Pokemon, to know what's important, to understand how to play. Like I have, I'm tapped out. I got I remember stupid sports things. I got you know over 100, you know,

grateful dead songs. I can I can recognize after like the first three seconds. I got like all this

shit in my brain. You know, stupid random trivia from from wrestling in the 90s. Pokemon is just

“not I have no space for it. You got to get into it when you're younger to be able to that's how I”

feel about being a car guy. It's like if you don't learn this stuff when you're in your teens or or 20s, it's gone. Right. You have no hope. So I don't know. Zach, you're a Pokemon guy. You got to just clear some cash up there because it will be fun. But how do I, where do I want to watch this show? That, yes, the tea, the cartoon. But where do I start the show? The show is a good place to start. Show is where I should start. Yeah. I think you guys can enjoy that. Okay weekend. All right. So

then, but how many Pokemon are there? There's a there's 1000s. Yeah. There's really there's there's 151. What? Before the expansion era. Oh, there was an expansion era. I feel like a lot of the

cards just might be open are going to be the 151 though. That's when that's when that's always a

1151er. You got to play the games. Yeah. Gonna game boy. The game boy. The game. The game under so far Pokemon red. Okay. Get to a fire red Pokemon go to the polls. All right. Yeah. We got to get to get you. We got to get you on the switch playing fire red. I am in on the card thing because it's very funny. Like my son is I got him spider game all those cards and he went through all of them. And I guess he told me he was like a girl in his class is open for trading high level Pokemon

cards that he was going to upgrade to the high level ones. That's fucking good good business.

Found an inefficiency in the market. This chick is just looking for cute ones. You're going to end up with some of the best Pokemon cards there are. So I'm in on that and seeing my son happy is very fun, but I don't know. I just don't think I have it in me. I don't think I have it in me. I'm starting to show. We go to the games. Okay. Show. I'm going to start with the show. I'm going to give the show a shot and then we'll go from there. You got to get a poker decks.

You guys have listed like 17 things that I have to do. I got to fill the poker decks and that's

“going to be a day. Yeah. I mean, got to catch them all. Maybe Pokemon go. Who's the bad some steps in?”

Who's the bad guy? Rocket power. A rocket. Rocket. Rocket. Yeah, team rock. It's Pokemon go still farming all our data. Looks like they're blasting off again. So do I want it? I don't want to do that's a personal. She was a rocket. I don't know if that's. That sounds what age. I don't know. That sounds very horny. I was. I was into it when I was a kid. Was there a game, Jesse? Jesse. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. She looks not age-appropriate. We're looking at a cartoon

by the way. Which one was a rocket? I mean, Jesse. Which one? The one and the. You got one's a male. One's a female. Yeah. You got it. That's weird. We got to fix the turn rocket that he is. Her. Is her name rocket? Team rocket. She's a really a rocket. But you see also a rocket. This has been used. It was an even misappropriate. Ted, you're old me. But you've been misappropriating rocket. How

do you feel about misfrizzle when you were like 10 years old? Wasn't I know it? Not into her. I got. You got to try to cancel me because I said that about a composable. Misfrizzle all the way in. You were in? Yeah. All the way. Is this all the way in? Do you insert it? No, but in the bus. In the one? The bus.

“Mad school bus. She's back that thing up. You can cast spell on me. What's up?”

Did you have cannons? Miss Frizzle. No. No cannons? Not real. She might have had cannons. No. Sneaky cannons had to hide him under the wrong way. Yeah. I think it was like you got to dress appropriate for school. I'd like to see Miss Frizzle on a Saturday night. Let's her hair down. Yeah. She actually lives in the school. She lives in that bus. She weren't a tube top. Why don't we take this bus and

side to you for a chance? Okay. Zach footage is off. My fair face is week as a quick one. It's more PSA to those who anyone who grew up playing the game who still continues to play the game. Listen, there's going to be a time in a place where your friends try to convince you that's time to move away from the console and go to the computer. I'm here to just tell you guys don't do it.

I've been in the throws of tech support email hell for the better part of nine weeks. I've

never felt more disheartened. I've never been able to not play the game more in my entire life.

They're going to tell you to do it and it's going to sound cool and you're going to want to be one of those guys who do it. Don't do it, guys. If anybody's cousins, kids and uncle nephew, if you're trying to get them one or they want to get one, don't do it. So you're fucked. Vic, I'm so fucked. The other day via email, which is actually insane. I tried to face time the guy. He's not into that. He doesn't do text. It's only email, which is an impossible way

“to communicate. Maybe the worst way to communicate with anyone quickly ever. We're doing open”

hard surgery on this computer. I'm not a tools guy. I'm not really a hardware tech guy and he's there. It'll be easy. A couple screws hand tight. You're good. This isn't a, it's an imposter task. Vic, help. Yes. Help. Help. So, what game in particular is it? It's more so the, the hardware, just not working. Okay. So it doesn't want to still have the console. I, no, it's, it's right

next to my bed. It's getting plugged in today and I'm never going back. Yeah, we just, why didn't

you just, I made, I made set this computer on fire and send him a video. I like like a terrorist. I made, like, this got, oh my, if I could, I won't full docks. I want to full docks. I think I've not doing it all the time. Have you checked your computer for beans? Zero beans in there. Are you sure? I love that video. He's in the computer. That guy Ross creation rocks. It's so funny. All time video. All right. I'm sorry that you have been able to game. It's why you've been going to sleep

early. It sounds silly. No, that's more of a lifestyle changes because I need, I, you got to do that. Okay. Now, yeah, I've been lent people down. So yeah, is there a backup computer? He possibly is there. That is true. Yeah, like that. Some place you could stream. That is true. Like in this studio, we want you to stream all year long. That is true. We're going to stream tomorrow, which is a Friday. I don't, this will come out tomorrow. So be later in the day. So okay. It's a tune into the

stream. Mm-hmm. Yeah, but just know if your friend says get a PC you stop hanging out with that friend. He's a, he's not, you're not real friends. Okay. He doesn't have your best interest in mine. If you're a PC, you, uh, if your PC native gamer, that's okay. It's just about making the transition.

I think he just says the PC doesn't work. Console works. So okay. So even if you're, if you grew

“up with the PC, if that's how you've always been, Zach, we'll look down at you. Actually,”

honestly, you might have grown up wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You might have been guided from a young age. That's on your parents. Uh, that's bad parenting. Right. And so look, that's, that's a therapy thing. That's a trauma thing you do with that. We're just talking hardware. Okay. Got you. The hardware is the hardware. Yes. All right. A good firefest boys. Uh, Shane. Shane. Did you, did you, did you hear about the, uh, the goal post? Yeah. I didn't like some of the people's attitude about it. Thank you. Thank

you. A lot of naysayers. Shane, where do you think we put this thing? Doesn't matter. Doesn't, like, it doesn't matter. This one is the start doesn't matter. I'm very happy that the only thing I'm a naysayer about is I'm, I'm frustrated that we didn't do this three years ago, two and a half

years ago. Better now than ever. Better now than never. Yeah. Bulltell it. You know how many, how many

field goals, Nate Cating missed on that thing? You know, no. Yeah. That's a good point. Infinity. All right. Numbers. 11. 56. 21. What's he? Five. 13. 11 in a row. Jim Brown. 11 in a row. It's been a problem. We can talk about later. He's been a row seven. How about, how about we, do I want to say 16? I'll say 16. It's what you,

“what you have to do to finish the job. 15. I want to say. Then you have to win 16 games, right?”

Four by four. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Where. Oh, wow. Nice. Me. I have a 15 in row. I'm switching to four. Oh, 15. 15 a row. 15 a row. Meem. Winning 15 games will not. 15 a row. Winning 15 games. Total will not get you. The NBA. 15 a row does. This, this is guaranteed. Maxi, you're in 44 for a long. How tall the upper right is, or the fill is pitcher. I think you can guess that. Pitcher percentage. Pitcher spectrum. Does that it? 56. No. It's not it. What is, what? What is it?

Is it actually 56? What was your number? No, it's not. I can say. It's literally 56. What was your number?

“Oh, it's not. Is it actually 50? What is your number? It's 56. What's the problem?”

Maxi, I start at 50. He's actually switched to four. He switched to 44. That's tough. That's tough.

Yeah, you know, you went so me losing. Well, no, you actually never won this. I hand. You've never won this. Who's

won this? Me and Jacob. That's tough. That's real tough. I've done 56 every single. 75. Anyone? 75. Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? You're doing another. Yeah, do one more. That was really tough. That's really tough. That was really tough. That was really tough. Two numbers. A number. I don't, I would have been more hurt if I disrespect the coach for St. Jess. All right. Love you guys. Also happy birthday Paul schemes.

Happy birthday to Carmelo Anthony. Happy birthday JFK. Happy birthday Mr. President. Happy birthday to Markel Fultz. Austin Reeves, Pooka, and Saturday Happy Birthday to Billy Donovan and Mani Ramirez. Ever think Joe name is on day? That's not what we have a show Sunday. Well, no, it's a little bit of a show some time on day. It's a little bit of a little bit early to say Joe name. No, that's four days from now, memes. Four days from now. No, three.
