Today is Friday, February 20th, and the Indiana Bears look like they might be a little bit closer. Huh? Listen, I think that if you're going to do Indiana Bears, the Wolf Lake Bears sounds like an incredible name. Well, there's also a Bear Lake right there, too. There's Wolf Bear Lake. Yeah. So if I actually don't want to talk about this for super long because it is mind numbingly annoying. Do you like terrible? Do you like local government? Yeah, it's local government. It's billionaires not paying for their own fucking stadium. It's the NFL wanting everything, wanting their cake and eating it, too. It's the fans getting screwed over. It's just the world we live in. So, yeah, the Indiana has voted to go forward with taking the Bears. having the Bears, holding the Bears in Hammond, while it doesn't actually mean anything because I still think they're going to be in Arlington Heights. It is the closest they've ever been to potentially finding a place. But again, it's not even anything. Kevin Warren is an absolute failure in the fact that the last four years, his only job was to find a stadium, and he has released countless open letters. He picked out chairs. Yeah, we picked out chairs. He identified furniture for the suites. Yeah, he did that. He basically did a Nathan for you episode on hard knocks where he's like, hey, come here. Cameras, come watch me pretend to be a president who's picking out chairs for the new stadium. That's never going to get built. I don't want them to move to Indiana partially because I think they should be in Arlington Heights. I think it should stay at Soldier Field one and two. It will really piss me off if we lost the horse track for no reason. Yeah. So I think that just every NFL team should threaten to move to Indiana. Yeah, it could be the state that has like we could get the Bengals. there if the bangles want to move there we get the bears there we get to shit the titans if that stadium doesn't go well bring back the rams but just put it in like southwest indiana the the yeah i like this yeah just every team indiana it's basically the bubble yeah listen in 49 other states it's football in indiana it's it's every football it's serious business it's all the football yeah i've been trying to get into stoicism uh the idea that you control what you can control and if you can't control something you shouldn't give it the energy that uh in your time in your day yeah it'll spike your cortisol right there's just no there's no reason to things that are out of your control giving it energy and time will just wipe you out if you can control something if you can change something if you can have a direct impact on something give it your all this is firmly in the camp of something i cannot control so i will not be giving it much time or energy because the whole thing just pisses me off and it's like hey guess what I can't change anything. I can't do anything. It's stupid government officials arguing with each other and people in the bears playing Indiana versus Illinois and Illinois being like sleeping and being like, no way will they ever leave. And guess what? They might call the bears might call their bluff. They might be the Indiana bears. You're right. You can't, you can't really do anything about it, but I would say that you can do more than 99.99999% of the population. You could lay down on the highway, start, start a block. Yeah, don't let that. Don't let any traffic into Indiana. If they move to Indiana, but then say, hey, Arlington Heights is going to come. We're going to get the racetrack back. I would be at least it would soften the blow. We did lose the racetrack for no reason at this point. There were supposed to be shovels in the ground years ago. Does the Mars Cheese Castle, does that have any land in and around it that could be used for a stadium? If we moved to Wisconsin, that would be bad. Yeah, that'd be the funniest. I mean, Iowa got in the mix for a minute. Move to the Cheese Castle. Iowa was like, hey. well indiana where it is in indiana is also not far at all oh yeah people don't understand it is very very basically equidistant to arlington heights correct i like hammond indiana has the horseshoe casino that i've been to probably too many times like we would go we would be out drinking on a friday or saturday night and be like let's get an uber go to hammond yeah like that that was the trip it wasn't it wasn't a difficult trip to make yeah so it is very close but it's still thing is annoying. It's more like, hey, you guys are all incompetent. Someone figure it the fuck out. And at the end of the day, the fans are going to lose. Until there's a shovel in the ground, it's all up for negotiation. Correct. And even sometimes when the shovel goes into the ground, it's like, hey, stop working with that shovel. We got a better piece of land. Yeah. And I wish they would just stay at Soldier Field. I know they never will because they don't own the stadium, so they're not going to do that. But I firmly have come around to the idea that in 20 years from now, we are all going to regret the fact that we put every single stadium indoors. What's going to happen with Soldier Field after the Bears move out? I don't know. Hopefully nothing. Are they going to have troughs that we can purchase? Soldier Field sucks. Yeah. I just don't want them to do construction. It does, but I want to have outdoor football still. Fair. I think that the idea of getting a Final Four, okay, maybe a little bit. The idea of getting a Super Bowl is the dumbest thing in the world. Having one getting a Super Bowl one time as if that is some type of big prize to have all of the NFL media in the world come to Chicago in February and bitch about how cold it is. I don't need you to bitch about how cold it is. I know how cold it is. I don't want that. Well, if you look at the long-term financial impacts of hosting the Super Bowl, it's not worth it. It's stupid. It's really not. Same thing with the Olympics or the World Cup. You just bend over backwards for people. Right. And then you're like, this is going to bring so much tourism into my city. And yeah, there'll be like more more tourism for a week, week and a half. But long term, like if you look at what Qatar did for the World Cup, they've got like dozens of subway stops that nobody will ever use for in the entire history of their country. Oh, yeah. They were showing pictures of the last time the Winter Olympics were in Italy in Torino. And it's just a ghost town. Yeah. No city should bend over backwards to try to get a Super Bowl if they're not already capable of handling it. Like a city like New Orleans, they're already capable of handling it. just keep going to New Orleans. Okay, let's solve. Yeah, I agree with your take. The Super Bowl should, at this point, just be back and forth New Orleans-Vegas. I'd be fine with that. Yeah. New Orleans-Vegas back and forth. So, I'm hoping the Bears do Arlington Heights. Again, my take on all of this is I don't give a fuck until there's a shovel in the ground because I don't believe anything Kevin Warren is going to write an open letter and it's going to mean nothing. But you were saying that the whole NFL in Northwest Indiana, What if we did the Olympics in Northwest Indiana every single four years? Now we're talking. It's just the permanent spot for the Olympics. The open water kayaking in Gary Harbor? Yeah. I said I don't like the Olympics when it's not in our time zone, and sorry. I mean, that's just a fact. I don't like it. And every time they do the Olympics, if you look at Rio and all these places, it just becomes a waste of money. just build a permanent Olympics in Hammond, Indiana. I like that. The home facility. It's not a bad idea. Yeah. Or at least the concept of just having this is where you go for the Olympics. Even, listen, if that's like Athens. Yeah. No offense, Athens. I was not a particular big fan of your city. There's some nice places. A lot of history there. People drive a little too fast. Including the Olympics. Nobody pays taxes. Everyone's all kind of sweaty and screaming at you. You're talking about Italy. Greece. Greece. Greece. That's right. Yeah, Greece. Whoops. I was talking about Georgia. The state? Athens, Georgia. Everyone driving too fast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm driving too fast. Got it. No, so in Athens, they should just have the Olympics. That should be like, that's what you do is the Olympics are in Athens every four years. Yeah, yeah. By the way, the time zone thing, have you guys seen? So we're going to talk about the hockey with Biz and Wit. We're going to talk about what happened on Wednesday. We're going to talk about hopefully what's going to happen on Sunday. Do you guys see what time the game's going to be, though? The gold medal game? Early. 7.10 a.m. Early. Hank, shake your head. You're out. Probably. We'll get you with my Firefest. My building doesn't have internet right now. Oh, shit. And you don't have cable. No. Well, that was also my building. We'll get to it in Firefest. It's kind of funny, but it's kind of tragic. But 7.10. That's too early. 7-10. Can we just, what if both teams, I feel like if there's two teams in the Olympics, or two groups of athletes, it's the U.S. hockey team and the Canadian hockey team that have all the leverage. Right. Right? This is, if it's going to be a destination, a crash course where these two teams play for the gold medal, that's going to be the number one viewed thing in the Olympics. They have all the power. One, you guys just say, fuck that. We're not going on until 10 a.m. Yeah. Central time. Yeah. So that our fans can watch us back home. Half of North America is going to be asleep. Half of, yeah. Probably most of the people that are watching are going to be in Minnesota, Wisconsin. They'll be hungover, not awake at 7 a.m. Think of it. I mean, Pacific time, you're fucked. Yeah, half of Canada. Everyone in Vancouver. Like 7-10, that sucks. You can technically wake up. No, I'll be up. Like 5-10. 5-10, I would not. The non-starter. I will wake up if we make it. I will wake up at 7-10. You will? I will. Promise. We're going to have to do a check-in. on the group chat. I don't think you'll be up at 710. I'll be up at 710. I don't think you'll be up at 710. I promise I'll be up at 710. I will wake up. I will turn the game on. I'll probably fall back asleep. And then I'll wake up for the second period. No, I will be up. I will be up at 710. If we make it to the gold medal. Also, 210 p.m. is a great time for tomorrow. Oh, yeah. Yes, it is. 210 afternoon. Everyone should just leave work early and go watch that game. Although, aren't we going to dominate, right? Who are we playing? I don't know. We were supposed to dominate yesterday. Well, no. No, yesterday was only, like, the puck line was only minus one and a half. So it wasn't. Yeah. We were minus 270. No, no, no. Yes. Against Sweden? Yes. It was not that crazy. I had minus 200 in regulation. Yeah. So minus 270 with overtime would have made sense. I feel like that would have. I think it was more. I don't know. Whatever. That sounds about right. Yeah, that sounds about right. If Phil Forsberg knew how to shoot a puck, that game could have gone a lot differently yesterday. DraftKings, whose line is it anyway? What's the money line for USA Slovakia tomorrow? Money line? Minus 360. Minus 400. Minus 800. We're going to fucking smoke them. Okay. Canada, Finland is only minus 380. Finland is the third best team. I just want to say that if we lose to Canada in the finals, it's kind of Mickey Mouse because it's so early in the day. A lot of us probably won't even watch it. When we talk to Biz and Wit, I'm going to give a good, honest, I'm going to be disappointed if we don't win the gold medal. And I will not skate out of it by saying it wasn't real and all that stuff. I'm going to put my heart into it. Sorry. Do you think Canada is going to make the argument that Crosby got hurt? It's part of the game. Everyone's got something this time of year. Yeah. Right? We're using injuries as an excuse. I thought it was hockey tough. I'm just asking the question. No. Because that was the first thing I thought of when I saw that he got hurt. Listen, there were a lot of Canadian troops at Juneau Beach that were a little banged up, too. And they kept going. Didn't stretch. Yeah. Who's that? Who's the Bob Wiley? Yeah. Brown's offensive line. Yeah. Didn't stretch. Didn't stretch their hammies before going on D-Day. Okay. What else we got going on? I watched a little bit of the Olympics. My pick for short track was disastrous. Andrew Heo. Did anyone win anything? Eileen Gu. She won another silver medal. Okay. That's her name, right? A lot of controversy behind this lady. Why? So she's kind of Chinese and she's kind of American. Oh, I saw this. So she was American. What, memes? What was that laugh? She's kind of Chinese. No, literally. She's Stephen Shea. No, she's from America. She's American. She's from America. She's American. She competed for the U.S. national team in skiing until like 2019. Okay. And then she switched and she said, I'm now competing for the Chinese team. People do this all the time. Well, yeah, if it's baseball and we don't have any Italians that can field a team of nine. So they're like, yeah, we'll take Mike Piazza. I think the Chinese, I think they pay a lot more. They do pay a lot more. But she. You got the visa. That's just the rules. Yeah, I'm fine with that. I don't know. If you're a dual citizen, you can't like. I don't know about getting dual citizenship. but you're a true dual citizen are parents from China? She's definitely, yeah, she's got Chinese ancestry that part's not made up it's weird that she would she have made the US team? oh yeah, she's the best one I think she's the most decorated freestyle skier female of all time I'm totally fine with it when you do it to be like, hey, there's no way I make the team this way, but I want to be in the Olympics the Jake Malison Oh, no, she was going to be like a star for the U.S. And listen, I want to be perfectly clear. I don't really care. It's skiing in the Olympics. Sounds like you're upset at her. I do like how this is a story. This is like the big controversy at the Olympics. Sounds like you're a little upset at goo. Listen, if it were me, if it were up to me, I'd compete for the United States, but that's just me. Sounds like you're a little mad at goo. All right, so I'll just count. You know what I'll do? I'll count this medal for us. I don't give a fuck. How many more do you need? too many how many woods of metal update update i think i'm i've it's it's over it's over for your boy it's it's it's not gonna happen i think we're gonna get a loser on for monday's show which i really am excited about we have seven yeah it's over for your boy we have seven we have seven seven golds 25 total that's a joke it is a joke right hank did you get any backlash for your slalom women's slalom take no i mean people just don't believe in me but that's all right yeah no I believe in you. But it's women's slalom. That's the part they didn't understand. Turn left, turn right. Yeah. Pretty simple stuff. Stay on your feet. Pretty easy stuff. You got the saying. Max. Where's the next Winter Olympics? Who cares? I'll go. Okay. I'm going to guess it feels like it's time for Canada to get back in the mix. Oh, fuck. Winter Olympics, what is it? 2020? 30? We've got Alps. French Alps. Oh, that rocks. South Lake City 2034. Isn't that the same thing as this one? No, it's Italy, bro. Come on, dude. Swiss Alps. French Alps. Oh, yeah. Swiss. But I actually kind of agree with you. They're all the Alps. But Italy and Switzerland share their Alps. I think so. But I got Switzerland and France mixed up. The Alps are one big mountain range. And so part of Italy. Part of Italy. The Alps. Yeah, the Alps. That's the name of your mountains? The Alps? Yeah, it actually sounds like a delicious treat. Sounds like an old dude's name. Like, hey, this is my great-grandfather, Alp. 2030, after Super Bowl, after vacation, I will take a trip to France to try this. Oh, wow. You'll do that for us? Content. Content, content, content. To the south of France? Holy shit. What a guy. You're the best. You know what? I'll go to Monaco just to keep an eye on things down there, too. we gotta have eyes what is that name? Busto Arcesio? that's the name of the town? Busto Artizio there's so many towns on here I have no idea where you're looking Busto Artizio Busto Artizio Busto Artizio Max's least favorite city overrated yeah I'm excited for Should we wait? Are we going to talk about the stream now or are we going to wait until Zach gets back? We got to wait. Bedard's playing for fucking. He's filling in for Crosby. Wait, they called. You can call someone up. Conor Bedard just landed in Italy. Oh, that's the way. This might be a parody. Yeah, I was going to say, I don't think you could do that. I mean, Bedard should be on the team, but. Ross should be. All right. Yeah. Take account. That was a great breaking move. I love it. I didn't know it. Moo it. No. Let's get some people who are listening right now. I only speak in facts, and I have serious takes on the show. Just move it. I don't want people to discredit me. Okay. I had a couple other topics. Before we do that, DraftKings. DraftKings, our wonderful sponsor, DraftKings. DraftKings Sportsbook is built for hockey on the world stage. Favorites, feel the pressure.

The minute the big game ends, we're already talking about what's next. Free agency, the draft, who's getting paid, who's grinding, because for football guys there's no offseason, and that's exactly why they roll with the Chevy Silverado. Silverado is the truck that shows up every time, built a haul, tow, and take a beating, but smart where it counts with modern tech that makes life easier. Big screens, available camera views that 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 it's the mvp of 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 own chevy silverado at chevy.com so So my next topic I wanted to bring up for you boys. We had Johnny Fanta on. By the way, shout out Johnny Fanta, NBA Johnny. Yep. We had Johnny Fanta on for Wednesday's show. In that, we discussed Mick Cronin because he was calling that game. After the game, Mick Cronin. I fucking love Mick Cronin. No one's ever called a shot harder than Johnny Fanta did on part of my take. He was like, college basketball is back. It's great. We've got some coaches that are losing their minds. We're like, well, who's that, Johnny? Well, Mick Cronin is losing his mind. And then that was before Mick Cronin goes on to eject his own player from the game. Correct. And then scream at a reporter for raising his voice. Well, the reporter raises – can we play the clip? Can we put the audio in? The reporter raised his voice. Clearly. Not only voice, but pitch as well. That was the problem. So this was Mick Cronin after the game being asked about the Michigan State student section. I could give a rat's ass about the other. team's student section. I just bet the overall the way that you... I would like to give you a kudos for the worst question I've ever been asked. All right, thank you. Did you like the preparation of the preparation? Do you really think I care about the other team's students? No, I don't. I don't think you care about the other team's students. Are you raising your voice at me? No, I'm sorry. Yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. Come on, dude. No reason. Come on. Yes, you are. Everybody's standing here listening to you. Everybody. This is on camera. They can hear you. I answered the question. I could give a rat's ass about the other team's student section. I coach UCLA. I don't care about Michigan State students. Who cares? This is the best. Raise your voice. I was laying in bed last night. Everyone can hear you. This is on camera. I was laying in bed last night, and I was just repeating it, and my wife was like, what are you saying? I was just like, are you raising your voice at me? Come on, dude. Come on. Come on, dude. It's all on camera. It's great that he's like, it's all on camera, not realizing it's all on camera and that's not going to look good for Mick. But I think it looks great. I also like how Mick Cronin is just only giving him the silhouette during this. He's only like, you know, he's turned away. He won't even face him with his full body. Come on, dude. Because it's just like so alpha of him. He's like, I won't acknowledge you. Dude, did you just... Wait, did you just... Are you raising your voice at me? Did you just raise your voice at me? Come on, dude. Also, that clip of him being like, I'd like to give you kudos for the worst question I've ever been asked. Yes. That is going to be very useful in the future. I love this clip. I love Mick Cronin. I know there's a lot of people who don't like these guys acting like this. There was some big-time J's coming out being like, respect the reporter. He's just trying to do a job. One, okay, fine. We all got a job to do. Maybe two, don't raise your fucking voice at Mick Cronin like that and the pitch of your voice. But we've had this take, whether it be with Danny Hurley or any coach that freaks out. this is what college basketball is the best at, is these guys are the most maladjusted adults possible. They lose one game. Think about this. John Shire lost half of his losses this year. He's done a Jussie Smollett. Think about that. He can't take losing that bad. He's lost two games this year, and in one of those two games, he was like, hey, one of my guys got punched, and we still can't find video of it. It's great. It's full-on college basketball brand that Mick Cronin has right now. And listen, the reporter did, in fact, raise his voice when reiterating the question to him. And pitch. And pitch. And this is all fair. I don't think that anything that Mick Cronin said was inaccurate. I also don't blame the reporter for doing his job. I think this is all just like, all right, great game. Like, GG's. Shake hands afterwards. Go your separate ways. You just raise your... Come on, dude. It's all on camera. Yeah, this is a great... This is a battle of the wills between Mick Cronin and the First Amendment. We got to get Mick Cronin back on the show. Yeah. We will not raise our voice. Yeah. No, I will. We'll have to. I think we got to have a decibel meter. Yeah. We should just actually have, we should ask a bunch of questions, then just have Zach scream a question at him. Just see if he's still got it. I think for you is we have a decibel meter. Yeah. We have a decibel meter for every show. Oh. Yeah. Look at that. There we go. I would like, I'd like it just to be, we need to put some more spotlight though, because this postgame interview is getting all the press. Mick Cronin ejected his own player which I love he kicked his own player out of the game that is the funniest thing I've ever seen Mick Cronin if you haven't been following this year but he basically it's all based on time zones if he does not play in Pacific time zone he is he is liable to like get naked and scream at everyone on camera he's so upset about the Big Ten scheduling the Cincinnati gets back in him yeah he listen this is a guy we have to remember Mick Cronin he He had a brain injury, a brain aneurysm, and the doctors had to tell him that he can't watch his team play basketball. Otherwise, he might stroke out and die. He had to drive around Cincinnati listening to it on the radio. This guy's a psycho, and I love it. We need these guys. When Danny Hurley goes crazy and drinks his piss on the sideline and flips out at everyone, that's what I love about college basketball. The great part of this interaction, too, is how calm he remained. Yeah. Like the guy, the reporter was obviously raising his voice. And Mick Cronin was just like, dude, you're just raising your, you just called it like it was. Come on, dude. Was not spiking at all, was just maintaining a firm baseline, not even giving him eye contact or full body contact. Like this is how an alpha male treats a reporter. Come on, dude. Come on, dude. It is all on camera. You just raised your voice at me. I also would like to think that Izzo was just waiting around the corner. He's like, dude, that guy raised his voice at you. Way to handle yourself, Mick. Yeah. That's exactly how you should handle yourself. Well, when Izzo watches the clips of this, he thinks like, there but for the grace of God, go I. Yeah. He can see how funny it is when somebody else does it. Yeah, he's like, damn, I didn't know you could eject your own player. At the same time, he's like, this is pretty cool. This is pretty awesome. But yeah, college basketball continues to be incredible. That Alabama-Arkansas game was awesome. Acuff. Two overtimes, just the shot making was insane. But I do have one question for someone in this room. this weekend we have a loaded slate we got michigan duke we've got houston versus arizona we also have villanova versus connecticut and connecticut lost on wednesday night to creighton max are you happy they lost college basketball they lost so different oh really so you want to play them off of a loss or off of a win? Personally, very much would have preferred if they did not lose last night. And why is that? Because Villanova plays in this week and I would not like to see them coming off a loss. College basketball is a different sport. I'm trying to tell us why. So you said you would rather not play UConn off of a loss. Why? In college basketball, yes. Why would you rather not play UConn off a loss? Because Dan Hurley's a special coach. So good coaches will then use that loss as motivation to make their team play better the next night out, is what you're saying. I like how you guys keep using this as an argument even though the Eagles won that game. I have a question. Because they knew that they had a tough opponent. I have a question. Can I ask a question? Wouldn't you be happy that UConn lost because now you have a chance to win the Big East? That's fair. It's divisions. I mean, if you look at the Big East standings, you guys have three losses. I know. If we went out, we'll get a share. If we went out now, we get a share. Yeah. St. John's, you have to play again. You can like. I'm familiar. That's a huge loss for UConn. I'm familiar. If they didn't lose to Creighton, you could have beaten UConn. They could have won out and you wouldn't have had any chance to catch them. Yeah. You know what? I'm happy they lost. Oh, okay. There we go. I'm happy they lost. There we go. Happy they lost You rooting for them to lose Because now you think UConn stinks because they lost No because now we can win the Big East But not if UConn beats you because they more motivated after a loss We just got to win on Saturday Got to win on Saturday. Massive game. Massive game. Max is getting so worked up for this game. I'm excited for it. I looked at flights to go home. It's $1,000 round trip before having to buy tickets. So I decided I couldn't in good faith justify that purchase. You should go. We'll pay for it. No, no, no. You know what? Yeah. We'll pay for it. I'll go half. Yeah, yeah. Halvesies. Max, you want to go? Not that big a game, I guess. No, it's not a big game. I would love to go to that game. Big game Max. This might, though, hurt. I haven't been this excited for Villanova basketball games. I think you're going. We're paying for your tickets. You're going. I could pay for my tickets. No, I mean the flight. Yeah, we're not paying for your game tickets. I could pay for my flight. Max is in a tough spot right now because he – I do this all the time where it's like, should I go to this game? I'm not going to go to this game. And then when you make the decision, I'm not going to travel and go to this game. And then you're like, I'm instead going to get to go to the bar and get drunk and watch college basketball all day. You're like, that actually sounds awesome. That has also gone through my head. You kind of sound like Shane right now. I've also texted – I don't want to go see my favorite team play. I've texted a bunch of my friends that normally would be going to the game. like half of them are still going half of them have conflicts and they can't go that was another thing you let us know but now that I've played it out in my head I would not go because there's such a loaded slate the slate's going to be awesome I might go to the bar all day on Saturday I might just tell my kids I'm going out to get some milk you're just not that big a fan of Villanova basketball you just like college basketball and that's fine I'm so so pumped for this game and if we're also being honest it would really suck if you made that trip, that 24-hour trip for a loss. Oh, man. That would be tough. And it would maybe hurt your guarantee of waking up at 7.10 in the morning on Sunday. That would be out the table. Out the window. Out the table. Out the table. Off the table. Are you doing farm to table? Farm to table. Max, I saw that clip, by the way. Can we discuss this for a second? Did you see this clip, PFT, of Max on the Big Boys podcast? Did you see this clip, PFT? No. Max? Listen, Max and I agree with a lot of things when it comes to big boy stuff. We had our tub talk last week or two weeks ago. This is a great self-control. We're lockstep. I have never done this, and it's... Why don't you explain to PFT? Did you see this clip? No. Oh, explain to PFT and Hank. I love the big boys. The big boys club is a safe space. It's a nice place for big boys to talk about other big boy things. And Ella. And Ella. And Ella. um i it katik also does this for the record of what he's gonna explain it sometimes this is it's actually quite skinny of me if you really think about tell me the thing that you do i can't even look at you while i say this say the thing that you do max so sometimes late at night uh-huh if i'm laying in bed and i get and i get a little hungry yeah instead of going and making myself a snack or making myself food or ordering food i'll just like pull up the apps uber eats shout out uber eats almost almost anything and i'll just like put together an order of what i would order if i were to get something and then you look at it and then i and then i and then i clear my car and i go to bed but i think about i was like oh yeah it's and i and i like a vr fat boy this is Girls do that with shopping, too, I feel like. They're just constantly shopping. I go in and I customize. I do it like the exact. You customize? Oh, yeah. And then I see it in my cart, and I'm like, oh, yeah, this should be a good order. And then I go to bed. It's like you striking out at the bar, and then you're like, I'm just going to jack off and go to sleep. This is so good, dude. You're just doing food simulating. Yeah. He's VR food eating. It's really good self-control. the real kicker is if I didn't have a fiance, I'd probably be smashing order every time. I mean, that's literally the dodgeball. Yeah. Yes, it's exactly that. You're like teasing yourself. It's really quite soothing just looking at it. It's dinner simulator. Kinda. I'm going to play dinner simulator for a couple hours. Yeah, you need to get a Sims where you're just eating the Sims. I never actually order it. But you look at it. Your fiance's just like, are you texting someone? No. I wonder what he's thinking about I'm not ordering I'm just putting together What I would order I wonder what he's thinking about chalupa supreme Double nachos The idea that he's got like a burger In there and he's customizing it He's like do I want extra bacon He's like no that's naughty I'm not going to do extra bacon I do that sometimes where it's like that would be too much I wouldn't need But you're not going to eat it so why don't you just go crazy No because I need to like genuinely it's like when you're watching porn and it's like the dick is way too big and it's like i can't it does happen yeah i was like i can't i can't justify myself in that situation yeah i'll do the uh you know what i'll do the dressing on the side i'm so happy you guys hadn't heard about this until now uh get your genuine reaction it's i'm with you on like 99 of the things that we do this one i just it is actually not if it's not a fat thing it's not well it is you're you're fantasizing about food it's the fattest thing you can do without eating yeah yeah which is fine i mean it's it's it's good self-control it is it's great self-control you found the fattest thing to do without eating oh yeah actually incredible oh yeah oh yeah oh man all right uh the The other college basketball story is that Darren Peterson is now just trolling us because he is, for people who don't know, the freshman phenom for Kansas who has been in and out of games. He's missed like 11 games, some real injuries, some fake flu, some agent. He now is doing it. He's doing the will he, won't he, in the middle of games. He hit a three against Oklahoma State on Wednesday night. He got cramped. And he just immediately asked out. He played 18 minutes. I think he scored 23 points. and Bill Self after was like, yeah, I thought he was going to have a special night and he just, he wanted out. Yeah, so I've seen a lot from Darren Peterson this year and he just seems like he's never engaged on a basketball court. No. Like, most people that are this talented at a sport, at times they seem like they've got that passion, that fire, like a competitiveness. Yeah. And I haven't seen it at all from, he might have it, he might just be saving it for the NBA and he's like, I don't want to get hurt playing college basketball. Maybe that's what he's going with, which is not a great sign And if you're a scout or a GM, you don't want that mentality. But that could be an explanation. This is all leading to Kansas losing in the Sweet 16 or maybe the round of 32. And then everyone on his team taking subtle shots at him being like, that sucked. That sucked playing with that dude. Or Kansas just rallying in spite of him. But him playing? Just being like, bench him. He's really good. Yeah, but I mean, they're a good team without him too. Yeah, but I think to get to their ceiling, They need him to actually be there and playing well. I don't know, but sometimes having a guy like that, that you're like, we all say, fuck this guy. That could make a good team great. Then we need a bucket. You're like, hey, actually, we didn't mean that, bro. And then at the very end, everyone's hurt. And he's like, coach, put me in. I can do it. And then his job is to make the game-winning pass. Yeah. And then everybody claps and hugs. It's a frustrating thing to watch because I want to watch Darren Peterson play basketball. It's frustrating if you're a Kansas fan, probably insanely frustrating if you're a Kansas fan. And the whole experience is what Hank said the other day, the downside to the NIL. It also, though, in a weird way, there's the silver lining, and maybe this is the eternal optimist in me. It's nice to know that you can't just throw money at a roster and expect it to be awesome and have every piece fit. You know what I mean? You can't do an all-star team every year. Right. You've got to have guys who actually want to play, who want to buy in. And Kansas still could go very far in the tournament. They could win it all, so it could all be wrong. But it is nice to know that you have to actually get culture and build a roster with meaning behind it, not just who's the best player. Let's throw money. My number one indicator would be this guy does not seem to like basketball. Yeah. It might just be something he's really good at that he doesn't care to do. Kind of reminds me of Rudy Gay. Remember Rudy Gay at UConn when they lost to George Mason? and it was like, this team is so good. And Rudy Gay was really good at basketball, but it was like, does he have that killer instinct? I don't know. Yeah, this is the Josh Rosen conversation. Does he love football? Yeah. What? I think there's another take that you could have about it. Optimist for Kansas fans. Yeah. He's going to play more in the tournament. Maybe. He will. He's going to play more in the tournament. You don't, when he's that much closer to the NBA draft? Like, if he gets a little ankle tweak, he's done. He's not going to play through anything. Bill Self also seems like he's just had it. This was the moment that Bill Self was like, this is not fun. I don't know. Bill Self was really quick to get him out of there as soon as Peterson, like, I think he's probably Bill Self knows. He's like, Jesus, you want to get out of the game? Fine. Get out. I don't want to have to think about this. I don't know. I think he's going to play more in the tournament, and then you just get, it's like getting a full new player on your roster. I think it's more likely that the team just rallies in spite of this guy. He could. I disagree. I do think he's going to try to play more. I'm just saying if there's any type of speed bump, he's out. You know what I mean? He's not going to play through anything. Yeah, Bill Self essentially gave the absentee parent quote last night. He said, it's happened off enough that our guys have learned to play without Darren Peterson. Yeah. It's like, yeah, Dad's not home, so we know how to get by. Yeah, we figured out how to make dinner. Yeah, mom's at work. We got it. We got it. Yeah, I had to teach my little brother algebra. Okay. Any other stories, anything that we missed that we want to talk about? Oh, congrats to Lane Johnson. Lane Johnson coming back. Yeah, as first forward by Max. Max was right. Good job, Max. Everyone says that on this show. There's a heated rivalry going on right now in women's hockey. Yeah. Which we'll know more about, I guess, later on in the show. Yeah. But we've got two of the superstars for the U.S. and Canada's women's team. We're going to kill them. They broke up. Yeah. They had a relationship, but they broke up before the game. I think that's fair. I think that even if you're deeply, madly in love, I think you have to break up before the puck drops. Yeah, just for a minute. And then get back together afterwards. Yeah. Sex should be awesome after. Yeah. Any other stories? Oh, do you have any updates for Kluvick? Yeah, so I've been... You've been mogging people? I mogged clavicular today. Oh, you did? So I got his number. I texted the man. He's of age, right? Of age for what? How old is he? What do you mean, of age for what? Is he... How old is he? Are you saying, could you fuck him? No. I'm saying, is he over 18, PFT? Yes, he is. He is an adult, if that's what you're asking. Okay, I didn't know. Yes, yes. He's an adult, so I saw... I mean, he's 21. He's not that much of an adult. He's an adult. He's an adult. That wasn't a crazy question. So I invited him to Chicago to do the rounds, come on the shows. And he said, I'm not going to be in Chicago. And then I was like, I have to mog this guy. So I said, it's actually not that dangerous here. Plus, we're all really strong and we'll protect you. Nice. So I kind of mogged him. You did mog him. Has he responded? Made him feel like he needed our help. Has he responded? I blocked him. Oh, so he didn't respond. So he silenced mogged him. No, no, I mogged him. He's 20 years old. I frame-mogged him, and then I blocked him. Block-maxed. He also hates football. Oh, fuck him then. He said it's your worst self when you watch football. Oh, this guy's a loser. I'm more of an Iowa fraternity guy. That footage was for people who missed it. Was it a year ago that this happened, Max? I just assumed it happened yesterday. I think it was a year ago. Because I think they went to court, but it's just a clip of these police officers responding to a fire alarm at an Iowa fraternity house and going downstairs and finding all of the pledges with their shirts off blindfolded in the basement in a dark basement. And the cops are like, take off your blindfolds like you all are coming with us and not a single pledge moved. And those guys are ride or die. Yeah, those are the guys you want in your camp. You know that you got a good class. It was also just a great litmus test of the internet where it's half the internet saying, how could they be doing this? This is really... Listen, there are some hazing that is like, you can't do the hazing that is killing people and making them, force them to drink liquor and all that stuff. But such some dudes with like mustard on them standing in a basement. I don't think it's the worst thing. No, that's fine. And those guys just didn't move. They were ride or die. Here's the problem is now you're going to see a bunch of other frats try to take this and simulate it. Yeah. To see if their guys will move or ride or die. And then now you're, they're just never going to believe that cops will ever show up to a frat function ever again. Yeah. Cause now it's like, these are probably just the bros playing a prank on me. Those guys are going to, they're going to be laughing about that story 40 years from now. It's been like, remember that time we thought that they were, they were fucking with us. So we didn't even, we didn't even flinch. It's good crew. Cops are so frustrated. They're like, they're not listening to us and no one will tell us who's in charge and not a single person ratted. They all said that they don't have the president of the fraternity's phone number. They're like, sorry, I don't have his contact. I don't know who that is. I don't know who that is. You're going to have to find someone else. And I love the white sweatshirt guy just kept slowly moving into the basement. And he was like, can you, they were like, can you please get out of there? And he's like, nope, nope. This is my basement. The guys are like blindfolded. I know my rights. I know my rights, officer. I don't have to say a word to you. That guy, I did see. I don't know. I got to find if it was actually real. Potentially, the guy in the white sweatshirt was not even a student at Iowa. He was just there for some hazing. Oh, that's fun. Yeah, he just showed up. Wait, is he like a ringer to get hazed? I don't know. I think it's like a pickup game. It's like, oh, you got fives today? We're going to get some guys with their shirts off? Yeah, I'll be there. We're going in a basement. I'm in. Was this guy brought in to get hazed or to do the hazing? Or he was just brought in to watch over and never snitch because he did a good job of that. He also gave him the ID. He's like, yeah, I think it's fake. I think it's fake. Gob's like, you think? That's not really a think. It either is or it isn't. Now, is there a possibility that this entire video is fake? No. I think it was an actual. It came out in a court case. Yeah, this is a court case. It happened like six months ago. Okay. Yeah. Or it happened in the fall. Oh, man. That would make sense during rush week. Yeah. It's just it was it was just such a funny video to hit the timeline. Okay. Should we get to biz and wait? I'm trying to think if there's looking through my notes. And you want to say anything about the Red Sox jerseys? I mean, fanatics in general is just a dumpster fire. I don't think the Red Sox are any different than any team that works with Fanatics. They just released a statement because Red Sox fans were so mad. They released a statement, and then Fanatics probably made them delete it, it seems like. Wait, so what was the problem with their jerseys? The letters, that's hard to explain without showing the stripe down the middle, the kind of lining. There's the white jerseys, and there's a red line in the middle. And the letters were just over the line. It was very sloppy. and they put out a tweet being like, look at our new jerseys, and everyone was like, these are gross. These are terrible. Yeah. Then they put out a statement being like, we're sorry that the jerseys weren't up to quality. We're going to change them by opening day, and then I think fanatics got mad at that because then they deleted the tweet, apologizing about the jerseys being shit. Yeah, fanatics, at least they're not see-through anymore, right? They figured they solved that science. Yeah, we don't see the dicks anymore. The science has progressed to a point where we're not flashing people, so just kind of take what you got and be happy for. What's going on with the Patriots, Robert Kraft, and FIFA? Foxborough. The city of Foxborough. The city of Foxborough is not approving FIFA funding, basically. They have not fully complied to some things that FIFA needs in order to host the World Cup. You must have bribes. The bribes, yeah. Yeah. You have not complied with the suitcase. They haven't sent in their monthly bribes. The suitcase of cash that we were expecting, you have not checked that off your list. I mean, there's like a court case, very Boston, Foxborough lady being like, we're not signing this yet. I would like to just say to FIFA, Chicago is open for business. I mean, they have to. Hammond, Indiana. We can do some games in Hammond, Indiana. Also, LaMelo Ball car accident. Oh, yeah. Mello Ball car accident and the Seahawks are for sale, which we already knew. But how much money do you think we could raise? If the NFL, I wish they would do this for one of these teams that is being sold. Just do it lottery. Like everybody enters. Everybody in the country can enter to try to win the Seattle Seahawks. And they will not pick a winner until it's $10 billion or something. Until the valuation target is hit? Yeah. How sick would that be? Just some random dude gets the Seahawks? That would be awesome. But then the other owners would have to approve this guy. Well, yeah, they'd have to maybe approve it before maybe you cut a little off. You break a little off. Be like, hey, we'll do it at 12 billion. It would actually be funny to see the other owners have to meet this random lottery winner for the first time. Right. And evaluate whether or not he's NFL owner material. He wouldn't be, according to them, but it would just be sick. If we just had... There should be one franchise per sport should be like the regular guy can get somehow. Put it up for auction. Not auction. No, it's just a straight-up lottery. You can buy multiple tickets. How much are the tickets? Five bucks. But you got to put a limit on how many you can buy. No. Otherwise, you would just get a very, very rich dude buying billions of tickets. But that would be hilarious if they bought billions of tickets and didn't get it. Yeah. That would be such a funny outcome if a guy spent $2 billion and got absolutely nothing. I feel like this sale is going to set a record, especially considering they're coming off a Super Bowl right now. Oh, yeah. It's going to be crazy how much money is spent on the Seahawks. I would buy a shitload of tickets to try to own a team. Awesome. How cool would that lottery be? Televising it. They pull the numbers. The whole country would be like, holy shit. I have a chance to buy the Seahawks? I would be in on that big time. Let's get to Biz and Witten. We'll talk some hockey. Before we do that, Piazza, you got a couple ads?

We're going to talk some hockey, some Olympic hockey. We also are watching the overtime of USA Canada in the women's gold medal game. So you might get us cheering one way or the other. You'll get a live reaction. Boys, how are we feeling? Yeah, go ahead. I just have something very important to say right off the bat. Yeah. Happy birthday, Witt. Thank you very much. Happy birthday. How old are you? Thank you, guys. Thank you, guys. I'm 43 years old today. Love that. Yeah, so it's going to hurt if the U.S. women can't get this done in OT, but we're staying positive here, and it's another year around the sun, and I appreciate you, PFT. You're a good guy. To be fair, I think that Witt's birthday fart that stunk up this whole room changed the momentum for the United States, and that's why they got that late goal. So either way, I just wanted to say, aside from the fact that we're battling Canada versus USA. It's probably going to be tonight and Sunday. I love them, and there's no one I'd rather do the podcast with on Spittin' Chickles than you, buddy. Oh, wow. Love you too, buddy. That's sweet. Are you guys going to kiss? Yeah, you should kiss. No, but later on we might do something. He did rivalry international edition. I saw the crop dust. It was a crazy crop dust. Just farting in everyone's face. Well, there's been farts flying all over the place. Mine's the one that gets posted. These guys that work for us, they're absolute dickheads. It's my birthday. they posted it, but you know what? What are you going to do? Still smells better than my upper lip. Alright, so boys, on Wednesday, we saw some crazy games. Which game do we want to start with? I guess we can start with the Canada game, which Canada struggled. Biz, that looked bad. I wouldn't say they struggled. I think that the Czechs played the game of their life. They have an incredible goalie. Gudis, Radko Gudis, a guy who Jans was pumping the pod before because you mentioned his names he's like if you if you had six of him on your team on the back end you'd win a gold medal well he played the game of his life and they did a really good job of shutting down the red line the blue line forcing Canada to dump it and it changed things up a little bit so um I thought it was a great game but ultimately Canadians prevail they they got through it without Sidney Crosby which was a a catastrophic injury it was accidental so I'm not going to point any fingers to Ratko Gudis. It's just he stepped on his blade. But Nick Suzuki, who came into his position, ended up coming up clutch with that tying goal off the tip. So a big one. And then, of course, Mitchie Marner, the guy who was in Toronto who broke my heart when he left. He ends up scoring the winner in OT. Do you think, you know, you guys obviously know so much hockey. Is it a good strategy to try to make sure that you have six guys or seven guys on the ice at various points? Unreal. Yeah. Unreal. How did that happen? It was insane. It wasn't when someone told me that they had six guys on the ice. I was like, oh, okay. So it was a line change. It was six guys on the ice in the defensive zone together. And what's nuts is when that happens at high levels of hockey, the bench of the opposing team immediately, coaches, players, you're all screaming. You could tell right away. Apparently, although I saw McKinnon said that he knew, I don't think that the Canadian bench was like really that like aware at the time. And it came out after on Twitter of like the images. But Biz made a decent point that the red sounds a little goofy, but the red in the uniforms and the shoulders of check, it just kind of, I don't know if that created kind of an illusion a little bit. So they have red pants and red shoulders. So like normally when you're in that skating position, there's just a lot of red, right? So the way that the camera angle was, and then the minute it started shifting over, it took one of the defenders that was deeper in the zone out of frame. So to the naked eye, if you're watching, if you're really tuned in there was probably a few people who caught it and that's what ignited it a few people posted it to twitter and then twitter kind of caught on to it and it just spiraled where buddy they ended up having like seven guys in the goal pile i think they might have been like just send out another guy to like make it so ridiculous that there's no way they call it back another thing that they do too though at the high levels is the video coach is behind like normally in the locker room and they have a bunch of the different feeds and they would then radio the coach but that's not reviewable it's not reviewable having too many men on the night no like you can't you can't go back that's just a straight up like ref missed it oh fuck i do like biz that like because i was wondering because this game obviously happened yesterday like what is his spin zone for the fact that canada can't count to six and the red jerseys is a pretty good one fuck you got me there man yeah yeah i kind of like that's good i never really learned that either that's a good shirt right there i mean i kind of liked it i'm looking at the screenshots i i see your point like when they're hunched over it kind of looks just like a red jersey you could yeah from that from that camera angle once again to the naked eye but like officials got to pick that up but that game in the third it was just picking up so much steam and there was just so much transition And Czech have some pretty fast players, like Nate just being one of them. He's up and down the ice. He was one of their best players. A guy named Sedlak, who actually is playing in the Czech Professional League. He's not even playing in the NHL. He had a pretty good game as well. I played against him in the American League when they beat us in the conference finals. He went on to win a Calder Cup. So they just played the game of their lives, and Canada hung on and made some big plays when they needed to. And let's see where it goes from here. Sorry, go ahead. I was going to say from the outside looking into, I don't know if McDavid's ever been this good. Yes, am I the guy always on here getting ridiculed by you two losers about McDavid? It's incredible. I think he gave guys maybe six or seven grade A scoring chances. He had seven shots on his own. Then the Finnish coach today said, yeah, McDavid's the best player in this tournament by a mile. And when asked how you're going to shut him down, he said, I'm going to call Barkov in Florida. So a little bulletin board material for McDavid going to the semi. So in the U.S. game that we saw yesterday, thank God that Philip Forsberg forgot that he was allowed to shoot the puck. Oh, crazy. What was going on? Was the moment too big for him? No. It felt like he had every opportunity that he kept passing up. Three or four times. I think that he wasn't in his flow state because they were having major issues with that coach and the fact that in game one of the tournament, I believe Philip Forsberg played what? One minute. Yeah, one minute and 40 seconds or something. He also sat Oliver Ekman Larson. And listen, they can dress an extra guy in the Olympics. So essentially, Oliver Ekman Larson, Stanley Cup champion, won it with the Florida Panthers, a great defensive defenseman when he needs to be, can also play a little bit offensively if you need him. He played zero minutes. Zero. He played not even seconds. He played nothing. He sat him there as a grocery stick in the middle of the bench like he was fucking Paul Bissonette. and that that created a lot of bad juju all of a sudden the media was starting to run with that I think he got a little bit defensive over those comments and then even I think in that game um against the states uh Jesper Bratt wasn't really playing much right there was he was scratched the game before that prior so it just it seemed like a lot of like mental warfare where you want to kind of you know you want to elevate these players and pump their tires much like you've seen from all the other nations guys it's if you go all the way to the dance here it's a six game tournament so you got to get on the same page and that team camaraderie quicker than anything you've ever seen in your life so and then in overtime when it's three on three what is the strategy in overtime it's the most chaotic shit ever yeah like how possession what do you teach the boys well so here's what i'll throw it over to wit team usa when they were in overtime vinny trochek isn't like a three on three specialist like he shouldn't be out there with that those high caliber of players but because he's so good at face-offs they would put him out there they started the overtime with him he'd snap it back and go off and then the neck the like a jack eichel would come on so we call those like repairmen and it was it was pretty impressive he took about three or four of those he lost the first one because the opening face three on in the NHL was just five minutes If you win that face you can basically control the puck certain times the entire time. He lost that one, then they put him back out off of his own. I think he took three, won the other two, immediately changed. And then other than that, it's different in this PFT because you're willing to just really run and gun. Regular season, you already get the point. Let's try to get a win. But here, like, I can't just jump in and make this like a three on one, because what if we make a save here? And all of a sudden it's a two on oh back the other way. So I've never I don't love the fact it's three on three. I do like the fact there's no shootouts this year in the Olympics, at least in the gold medal game. There won't be. Yeah. So that's nice. But three on three is it as a fan to yesterday. It's just a panic. Right. Yeah. So nerve wracking. It's chaos. Do you guys think the NHL should do three on three? Skip Bayless. Skip Bayless. stop there we go i i actually think that they should move to a longer three on three even if you added two extra minutes we did it in the american league to to test it out for the nhl even adding that two minutes i think would would make a lot more games end in in uh in overtime as opposed to going to a shootout what's brutal and another component to it is is you're just trying to get those three guys tired let's say they're out there for like 35 seconds if you can turn over your three guys and get fresh bodies oh it's fucking it's sharks in the water just circling their prey i think they should go i think they should go 20 minutes five start five on five every four minutes take a guy off so you could get one on one yeah that would be a little ridiculous but if you did if you did no if you did like i don't know five minutes five on five and then 10 minutes four and four then five minutes three on three three on three for 20 minutes is what the gold medal game will be i can't see it going longer than 10 yeah you said what sorry the what's it's 20 minutes three on three no i think it's 20 minutes five on five boys no i love i love the two of you sitting on this couch right now you guys are like the two old guys in the muppets i i think that all the way up until the gold medal game it's it and then it turns over to five if it's three on three i'm gonna spike my mic if it's 20 minutes of three on three i'm gonna look it up right now. I mean, there's no way. They're too busy posting my fart right now. They can't even get us the info. It couldn't go 20 minutes three on three, right? Like somebody, somebody's going to score before that. Yeah. A hundred percent. A hundred percent. Three is the minimum amount of players that you can have on the ice. Even in overtime, three on three, if you take a penalty, they get to add a player. So it becomes four on three. So it never becomes three on two. What is the answer here, boys? It's a 20 minute three on three. That is fucking crazy. Spike the mic. fuck that was if that oh we got we got ot starting here guys we're watching okay yeah we're watching right now we got it as well all right so what's your clock say right now what are you on the clock 1922 yeah okay we're the same wow that's not often does that happen okay yeah oh no i'm just no fuck off okay quick break from biz and wit this episode is uh pardon my take is brought to you by mcdonald's hot honey sauce hot honey sauce is at mcdonald's for a limited time Your favorite orders just got better with hot honey sauce.

Okay, now back to Biz and Wit. So if you were to judge Wednesday's games, which team do you think – because – well, actually, let me ask this first. We think it's going to be USA Canada, right? Like, the USA is minus 800 to win on Friday. Canada, I think, is like minus 375. Like, we have to have USA Canada. I think we're going to get it, but you just simply can't write off a team like Slovakia. a team like Slovakia knows that they're going in there where they upset the United States. That's going to be the biggest win they've ever had in their country's history. Break away. Break away for the gold medal. What a back check. Oh, my goodness. That was probably a bad joke. Oh, my goodness. Wow. Wow. This should be great listening tomorrow morning. Yeah. Dan, congrats on the Indiana Bears. That sounds good, you loser. It's not going to happen. Shut up. But going to those two teams, I'll talk on Finland because that's who Canada's got to play. They got some honey badgers. And last game, they were down 2-0 to the Swiss. And they had, I believe, six minutes remaining. And they had some goals from some big players. Sebastian Ahoo plays for the Carolina Hurricanes. Lekkanen, who ended up having the winner, I believe, in OT. He plays with the Colorado Avalanche Stanley Cup champion. And the other one who got one is Miro Haskin, an incredible defenseman you hear, not a lot about, who plays in Dallas. He kind of flies under the radar. Easily a top 10 defender in the world. I would probably put him top five. Maybe not now because Wierenski's risen his game. Quinn Hughes, who's Marit Sider. So he's definitely in the top 10. Okay. And for us as the American Slovakia, it's crazy what they're doing with their hockey and their national team because I think there's 5 million people in Slovakia. They've had a lot more success than the world juniors lately. And I think it's six or seven NHL players. They won that group. I mean, I don't even know what the DraftKings odds would have been with Sweden, Finland, and Slovakia in that group for them to come out of there, the winners. But that got them the bye into the quarterfinals, right? They spanked Germany pretty easily in the quarterfinals. And now it's like that's not a game where, yeah, U.S. might be minus 800. I don't picture it being an easy game. It just they got this your ice love Kovsky, who was the first overall pick a few years back, Montreal, Canadian. He's really coming into his own. He's the leader. He actually played in the Olympics the last one when no NHL players were allowed and had seven goals as like an 18 year old. He's got a few goals already this year. So not easy games. I mean, you'd think Czech would have got worked over by Canada and Canada has to score the couple minutes left. It's just it's the one game elimination that you just never know what's going to happen. A hot goalie, you're done. It was. It was. Yeah. awesome hockey yeah pft you probably know more about this maybe even you big cat the history of the world but uh uh czechoslovakia so czechia and slovakia used to be one team yeah and then for whatever reason it broke up so imagine that those two countries are still together they would probably have the equivalent as far as like uh up there with like sweden finland yeah they would they would definitely be in like the powerhouse uh conversation it's like into the Cold War. Yeah, it's like doing Yugoslavia with basketball. They would be dominant. Yugoslavia's got like, you know, if it was still Yugoslavia, it'd be Luka and Jokic. Two on one for the Canadians. This is great. Bad play. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What a save. That was a high stick. It was a high stick. It was a high stick. Biz, I got a question for you. What's going on with what are you doing to my guy, Tom Wilson? It feels like since he's playing for Canada, he doesn't have that same toughness, that same aggression that he has when he's playing for the Caps. Why not? What is it about Canada that's kind of taking the piss out of him? What are you referring to? He got turtled the other day by a Frenchman. He then was going to murder him, though. I think he... No, that's not how it went down. That's how I saw it. That's how I saw it. Well, he was probably just shocked that this guy just grabbed him and all of a sudden wanted to fight, where normally you tap a guy in the shit pass, you say, hey, you want to go, bud? But he didn't say that. He kind of jumped him. And Wilson's probably surprised at the fact that at the time, I think the score was, what, 10-2, and they were spanking him. He's thinking, you can't fight in this tournament or you get kicked out. If you fight, you get that game and then the following game. Because it was a bit of a soft fight, they didn't do that. They only ended up giving him the rest of that game and gave him the gate. But actually, the player for France ended up going like this to the crowd, kind of being like, I can't hear you for whatever reason. Hulk Hogan, je n'écoutais pas. Je ne comprends pas. yeah you got it you nailed it yeah hey are you guys going to be watching on friday from the golf course so we're getting criticized for that um well i am it just so happens that canada was playing in that time slot i ended up watching the game last night and then this morning as well just to go over it oh um we had this course yans's course booked a month in advance um and we had a match lined up and you know we're obviously here to get some work done we're we're watching the ot goal on our phones. So if people want to scald me for that, for missing a quarterfinal Yeah! What a move, USA! Suck it, Fizz! Guys, isn't this great? That's one, guys. That's one, guys. That's one, boys. We need one more. We need to win the semifinals. We need one more Sunday. I can sit in the same seat next to this guy. Oh, my God. Oh, I've never had a win over him. I've never had a win over him in anything. And finally, I'm sitting next to him and I'm talking to you two trolls. And you were trolling him and I was even mad. Even though you were trolling my buddy, I was still mad at you. But now we're all together as one. USA! Oh, Biz! Man. Hey, Big Cat. Wow, boys. Big Cat from Part of My Take. I got a question for Paul Bissonnette. Biz, how does that taste, bitch? Wow. Well, first of all, right now, the American coach is crying. Very emotional. I love it. Okay. Sorry. Yeah. No. No, that's classy, guys. That's classy. Listen, come on here. It was an incredible game, an incredible effort. The U.S. spanked Canada in the round robin, and they looked to be very dominant. I was so proud of the way the Canadians played. I think they were the underdog by, like, minus at least 500 in this game coming in. This is loser talk. This is such loser talk. It was overtime. You were just in overtime. You can't be like, oh, look at what a great accomplishment to even make the Olympic team. but either way man it's really cool to see where the game has gotten to in the United States and I'm really I'm happy for him congratulations what do you mean man what do you want me to say big cat you want me to just shit on on the team Hillary Knight just got engaged the day before and now she ties it up under a few minutes to go with a goalie pulled and then they pull off the victory so hey man wow boys that was great I think I'm not gonna say that um congratulations Your guys' attitude there is going to help in terms of pompous Americans who can't win with class. But I love that. Oh, we do. We can't win with class. That's just a fact. You show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser. Yeah, we're not winning with class. Come on. Hey, PFT, today we're winners on my birthday. And there's one more. There's one more that we need, boys. We got to get one more. There's one more we need. And you know what? The Olympics I played in or I sat in the bench in In 2010 we lost that gold medal For the ladies and then we lost The gold medal for the men And this year it's going to be different guys It's going to be different what a beautiful goal Backhand 5 hole That was awesome That was so sick I feel bad for that defense When it gets burnt No don't do this wit You never played shit You never fucking played shit You can't even play the fucking team, buddy. So shut your fucking pie hole. You're Skip Bayless, guys. You guys fucking dog and poor girl who got walked. I'm proud of the American women. I'm just happy to be with Biz as this happened. And listen, he would have gone crazy, rightfully so. But I would have done like he did. And I would have been classy. I would have said, congratulations. You two guys are real low-class bumps. But you're American, so I love you today. I love you today, guys. Listen, we got to celebrate our wins. Yeah. USA hockey, we don't win that much. And when you win, you got to take it. I don't know when I'm going to feel that emotion anymore. You know what? I'm not going to apologize. I'm not going to apologize for being excited about a win. That's a gold fucking medal. I just got a gold fucking medal. Same. Also, the Canadians don't win with class when they beat us. They pat us on the head. You know what they do. They don't win with class. We're winning with class. And then they'll be like, oh, good job, guys. You tried really hard. You almost got us. Not today, boys. Not today. They're not today. They're losers. But you know that, Whit. They pretend to win with class, but they do not win with class. Do you not agree? I don't think anyone wins with class. Exactly. Thank you. But I'll be honest. There's a difference between tweets and sitting in your basement compared to literally writing the guy's face as we come on and show for you. But like I said, I don't really care. You're not. I know you're trolls, but you're not trolling me right now. So I don't mind. I don't mind when I'm not the one getting trolled. Indiana Bears. I got a question. Are you guys doing a stream if it's Canada U.S. And his oldie, Canadian oldie, getting the phone call? No, because I thought you guys were streaming. We are. Yeah, we're not going to stream against you guys. I would fucking go toe-to-toe with you all fucking day, buddy. NHL's going toe-to-toe with Goodell soon. You think I'm fucking scared of the PMT podcast? Wait, wait, wait. What are you talking about that? What are you saying about Goodell? Because we're going to fucking kick your ass. Yeah, say it to my face. Oh, they must be interviewing him soon. They must be interviewing him. You think we're interviewing Roger Goodell? I don't know why you're defending him all of a sudden. We're defending the NFL. You're actually saying you're going to go toe-to-toe with the NFL and win. You're going to get wiped with the floor. We now know you don't listen to our show. Biz for two years now, three years, has been saying he wants more Sunday NHL games. He wants to go right at the NFL. That is the dumbest thing you've ever said. You've said a lot of dumb shit. Bro, we got fucking NFL teams not even know what states they're going to play in. You think we're fucking scared of the NFL? Come on here. The Indiana Bears? Oh, man. Give me a break, buddy. God damn it. I wish this press conference had happened on Friday, not today. Oh, I saw that, and I said, this is perfect. I guess the team isn't even in his state anymore. It's not even going to happen. It's not going to happen. All right, so wait. I actually have a real question. Back to real hockey talk. Witt, you played in a gold medal game against Canada. Sort of, yes. What was the vibe like before? Well, no, but you were on the team. What was the, you're on the fucking team. That's insane. Front row seats. What was the vibe like though, like in the locker room before the game, like in terms of like nerves and just like focus and everything. He couldn't even fill up the water bottles properly. His hands were shaking so much. The nerve. Hey, take your L and sit over there and be quiet. Suck on your thumb or I'm going to send these two goons after you again. That game, it was at noon in Vancouver. So not a lot of time for, I think if that's a 7 p.m. game, you're sitting around all day and there just wasn't really time to panic beforehand. And that was a great group. Amazing team, awesome people. And before the game, confidence, yeah, definitely some nerves, but more the excitement and the chance of like every guy at nine years old was thinking, like dreaming of playing in a gold medal game against Canada in the Olympics. So it was amazing, great experience. And I think that the tying goal Parisi scored was the, I blacked out. I was on the bench and jumping up and down and did one of those, like had to sit down, couldn't really tell what was going on. Going into that intermission thought there's no way we're losing this thing now. And, and Sidney frigging Crosby, man. So it was a, it was an incredible experience and just even the bench stayed so positive when we were down, like there was no panic and there was no sort of like, Oh my God, like we're running out of time. It was just a lot of guys with tons of confidence and no give up and turned into one of the all time best hockey games. It was crazy. Yeah, it was. I mean, I think if they play each other this year, it's going to be the ratings. I just can't imagine. Eight a eight a.m. stinks. It stinks. I don't know. Half of North America is going to be asleep. Like, I don't know. Not if you're not if you're a real American and a true patriot and you want to watch some great hockey. I'm going to be up. My kids are going to wake me up at six thirty like they do every day. But I'm saying like in the Pacific, like if you're on the West Coast, if you're in Vancouver, it's at five in the morning. Like, why did they can they not move it? This is going to be the biggest fucking thing. I know. So the men's gold medal hockey game is always the last event of the Winter Olympics right before the closing ceremonies. So just being, you know, being over in Italy, it's just it's 8 a.m. I think I think it could have been even earlier. Right. If they did it at noon like usual, but they did two. So it's 8 a.m. Eastern. And that's the thing about Canada. Every single Canadian will be up at 5 in the morning in Vancouver watching it. Yeah, they are definitely going to care about it. What's going on with Sid and Crosby? What's the latest on him? I don't know. So people hate when you speculate injuries, but we've played the game before and we've been in these certain situations where you see things move a certain way and you're like, ah, that's happened to me. What happened was he was going up the ice and Radko Gudis closed on him. he was trying to go stick on puck and he missed the puck and it went underneath the skate blade of Sidney Crosby's left skate so his left skate kind of slid out because it had nothing to grab right it couldn't catch the ice in order to stabilize so he was trying to stabilize on his right leg and it just it opened up which to me speaks MCL sprain so you can have a first degree you can have a second degree or a third degree which is obviously the third degree is the worst I've done a second and a third where you're you could probably be out like a month maybe you tape it up and you and you survive one game um to play through it well in this case you'd have to play two if he plays both to the gold medal game uh but the problem is though is when the MCL opens up way too much it could end up getting into ACL so ACL is the oh fuck you don't want that one Like by the time I ended up getting surgery on my left knee, my MCL was so opened that it tore my MCL and ACL and I had to get them both repaired. Typically, you don't get surgery on repairing an MCL, but because mine was so bad, that was the case. So speaking from experience, I'm hoping it's not too bad and it's just a grade one, if maybe two MCL sprain. So who knows, man? I mean, Captain Crosby, the golden goal, like nothing he does surprises me. So I wouldn't be shocked if he's back playing. And who knows? Fuck, we need him. Hank reported that Bedard was on a flight overseas right now. That's from Frank Cervelli. That was a burner account. This is the guy that you're defending and being like, they're so mean to Hank. He literally was sitting on the number one sports podcast. He's like, oh, Bedard's going to go into the Olympics. Hank, you're better than that. You're better than that. I love you, Hank. You're better than that, Hank. Biz, would you like to apologize for the curling cheating? Yeah. You know what, buddy? This is a tough day for Biz. I think you think fucking Jordan ever fucking apologized for elbowing a guy in the face in a pile? You think Tom Brady ever apologized for... There's ice down the guy's shirt. You think Tom Brady ever apologized for deflating the footballs a little bit in Indiana? The Colts? You think you ever fucking apologize for the tuck roll? No, it's the Bears. What do you mean? You said Indiana. It's called reversing it. It's called accepting my sad fate and reversing it on you. Time out. I thought that when they got. Yeah, it was. It was. You said Indiana and I said that's the Bears. That was a joke because you were busting my balls. I questioned Biz on this. I was playing checkers and you're playing 3D checks. I was questioning Biz on this. And he went with the, no, he went with the, if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying, which I was like, Oh, cause it's a game of honor. I guess it's like golf almost in curling. And yeah, because of that, just to say, yeah, we cheated and fuck, fuck you. I'm like, Oh, okay. I mean, I can't, I can't really like be a hypocrite because when I play shuffleboard, that's what I do. I keep a finger on the little, he brings his own sand. I call it the French tickler. I give a little, little tickle to the stone on the way of goodbye. Hope you had a great time. All right, I got one last question. We love you boys, and thank you for joining. I know you guys are doing a shitload of stuff. By the way, new sandbaggers, one with the – who did you play with? The Blue Jays? You played with Gruden, and then who else? Gruden was with Pat Maroon and Ryan McDonough, so that's six rings between the three of them. Pat Maroon, obviously everybody's aware of him winning a Stanley Cup with his hometown, St. Louis Blues. then he ends up going off to uh saint or to tampa bay and won back-to-back with them so three times stanley cup champion and ryan mcdonough won two with the tampa bay lightning so they had good chemistry and of course uh john gruden a super bowl winner with the buccaneers and he was electric and there was a lot of shit talking going on and i got to ride in the car with him just like just like at the internet invitational and it was an incredible incredible afternoon with those guys and then we finished it off with the bob does boys so we got three in the base yeah three in the bank when are we gonna do pmt chiclet sandbagger we i would fucking do it right now oh bitch oh i wow that was i i i think i think we could beat them on the 13th hole i think it would be too easy where we we should do that and then we should also do frisbee golf oh i'd fuck you up at frisbee golf oh yeah yeah it's called frolf just so you know oh okay yeah all right so tune into the sandbaggers i get laid bro i got three kids you got zero we don't know if you get laid that's the implication that you can't play frisbee golf and also have sex because he does if you've seen some of these frisbee golf guys they fuck no listen biz you're fair enough you're right there's nothing cooler than a 40 year old dude talking about his sex life uh all right so i'm gonna go check in on bedard's flight to uh italy guys uh roback.com r-h-o-b-a-c-k dot com promo code take 20% off your first purchase qzips polos hoodies joggers shorts rowback.com promo code take no like just honest opinions what is the final gonna be and who's gonna win no jinxing wit and i my friendship our friendship was on the on the ropes on wednesday because i i prematurely called biz to rub it in his face because i was going on the yak and you you saved canada you saved the olympics dave saved usa today he texted wit and uh yans saying nice job embarrassing the country today fellas he's well all i know is that the craziest i know excuse i've ever heard he goes yeah man i had to call you before the yak i'm like yeah you guys never call people live on the yak it was a it was an error but i'm not there's no jinxing like actual predictions of what you think's gonna happen i'll i'll say that the way that the olympics have gone so far as far as the hockey i think it's going to overtime i think it's going to be canada u.s i i would love like a yeah i would i would just love to see ot three two either either team yeah i feel like i feel like i feel like if if the americans are involved it'd be fun to have a four three hockey game a little bit more offense than normal and uh just a barn burner wait where because you're just gonna answer usa that was a boring answer biz no offense uh where do where does u.s have the advantage over canada um defense so yeah the drd is better overall i believe their forwards are significantly better than ours just I mean well Crosby being out scary and if he's out that's a big difference but I like Hellebuck I think is a better goalie than Binnington but in terms of like what Binnington's accomplished it's not even really close because Binnington has won the cup and he's got the four nations so on D our D's better uh their forwards are better and in terms of big games Binnington's had a better career than Hellebuck but we just need hellebuck to have the game of his life and and i also want to stress i am not not counting out slovakia no i am not doing that no considering no we're not and by the way i want to say something to you with i because we've had this discussion before we are maybe a little bit of trolls i'm full go in this game if it doesn't go our way i'm gonna be very disappointed i'm not gonna say it didn't matter four nations was different that was an exhibition this is the gold fucking metal so Gold medal. You've got to win this. Boys, this is the first time it's been best on best in eight, no, 12 years, boys. 12 years. And so this is a big game.

Starting at what time? Who knows when someone's listening to this, Hank? Wow, that's the 10th anniversary of part of my take. Yeah. Is it? Yeah. That weekend. 27th, 28th, 29th. It's birthday weekend. All right, cool. We love anniversaries so much we don't know the actual date. We've kind of... It's like when you look up a celebrity who's like 90 years old and their birthday is like March 6th or 7th. I think in this case, it was the 29th, which is Leap Day. So we don't have... The first episode I think came out on March 1st, but we recorded it February 29th. Right. So what time is it starting? So Zach has 36 hours to do. I have 18. What date is this? This is Friday the 27th of February. We will be starting at 8 a.m. Friday the 27th of February. I will be going until... Central or Eastern? Central. For the people listening, it's Friday the 27th, 8 a.m. Central. Start time. I will be going until 2 a.m. That's 18 hours. Zach will be going until Saturday at 8 p.m. Wow. Long stream. Now, is Zach allowed to sleep? Yes. So we're banking in four hours for Zach. We're going to get him a air mattress in the booth. Couldn't think of that word. Tough word. Sometimes speaking is tough. Alarm clock. Oh, yeah. So there's the thing. We have a wheel that every X amount of hours we have to spin this wheel. There's four punishments, four rewards, four challenges that are part of this wheel. and as soon as that hits we have to complete whatever that is all of the punishments are the four punishments are just two and a half k in the in the booth okay so those are the four those are the four punishments because that'll equal the 10k that we spoke about are we doing itchy golf we are doing itchy golf i've come up with a good a a fun way for itchy golf that's one of the challenges on the wheel me and zach have me and zach are very bad golfers hank can you attest I haven't seen Zach golf. He might be good. I'm going to say no. I'm going to say no. You're not bad either, Mac. Don't sell yourself short. I am horrendous. Can't confirm I'm not a golfer. So Zach and I will be in the golf simulator, and we have to stay in the golf simulator until one of us gets a birdie, and every time one of us gets a – what? No, I keep going. Can we help? Can Hank show up and help? Maybe. Because we're going to come by the stream. We're going to be part of the stream. So that's the thing. Like, we're doing these wheels every couple hours, but, like, there's going to be a lot of in-between stuff as well. Chinese workout at 9 a.m.? We could do the Chinese workout. Let's do it. We could do the Chinese workout. For the people. Is there a gimme range on the Itchy Golf? Oh, we're going to have to put a gimme range on there. Yeah, so they could get a gimme range. But regardless, so this is how they— That was mean what Hank did. Hank was like, he scoffed. You guys get a birdie? Okay. We— Oh. Well, me and Max have talked about doing this for par. Well, no. He just made it way, way harder. I could get a birdie. We can get it. But here's where the itchy gets involved. And people may be like, every time you get a snowman, there's going to be a golf glove that we have itchy powder. Oh, no. And we're going to pour itchy powder in the golf glove. Oh, no. So every time one of us gets a snowman, the following hole you have to wear. You have to wear the itchy hand for that hole. And then if you get better than a snowman, you can take the itchy glove off. PFT, are we getting tattoos? Yeah, I'm down to do it. Did you text our guy? No, because I don't think anybody responded to that text, but I am down. Oh, yes. All right, we'll text him. I'm down to set that up. Maybe Friday afternoon. Mitch does tats. He's the best. Yeah. I think I'm going to get Vanny. Fuck yeah. Yeah. I mean, we're definitely going to do the sassy Legos. Yep. That's definitely on the table. We have a basketball challenge that we're going to do. rainbow. We have some fun. We have some fun rewards that we're going to do. Zach's going to try caviar for the first time. Oh, wow. I think me and Max writing the children's book could be good. Oh, yeah. We're going to write. What's it called? Sleep tight. Saquon. Yeah. Sleep tight. Saquon. We'll do that right before you go to sleep. That'll be the last thing that we do before your sleep time happens. Sleep tight. Saquon. Sleep tight. Saquon's going to rock. And if you have any other ideas, like we have a list of challenges and rewards and fun things that we're going to do. But 36 hours is a lot of time. A lot of video games, probably. There's going to be video games in between. But we're going to be interacting with the chat. If the chat has good ideas while we're doing it. We have a list of things that we like, but we're open to more ideas. Okay. Great. I'm excited. We're all excited. Call of Duty. We'll definitely be playing some Call of Duty. Marvel Rivals. We'll definitely be playing some Rivals. Arc Raiders. We'll definitely be playing some Raiders. We're going to be playing... Flight Simulator? Yeah, if we can figure that out. Does anybody here have a Flight Simulator that they can bring in? Oh, I do. Yeah, yeah. If you can bring that in, that'd be fun. We can get up in the F-15C. So yeah, we'll have the Flight Simulator going. um so here's the zach brought up chain together we're gonna do the chain together chain together that will be a thing but we are going to put a cap on that because whenever zach said that every single person replied be like 36 hours isn't enough time for you to do this and we have a lot of fun ideas that we want to do remind me what the chain together chain together was so it's a it's a game essentially we're like i'm a player max is a player we're In the game, we are physically bound together. We're tethered, and we're just going up a structure that's pretty high up. Right. Apparently, it's extremely difficult to complete. So if we started that, that would just be the entire stream. So we are going to do that, but we're going to put a cap on it, say, for, like, next two hours, we're going to be chained together. All right. Chained together. So if you have ideas, send them. If you have ideas, send them. It's going to be fun. It's going to suck. It's going to be fun. Okay. People are going to like it. And this is also, we've teased this a lot, this is the beginning of Zach's streams. So the last 18 hours is going to be all Zach, and we are going to be putting out weekly streams on part of my Take channel, Zach's streams. So going forward, it's going to be, the schedule of it may be a little off because we don't want to compete with March Madness and other streams that are here. but I can guarantee to the people we will be doing weekly streams going forward love it after this let's go Zach we were thinking we start one day a week and then see if we can build on that yes see where it goes I think PM streams could be good yeah I love it great job Zach excited I'm excited too I appreciate the opportunity to get in there can I make one request for a stream yes sir I think there should just be a stream where we just set up a camera in your apartment and we go live when you go to bed and it's just a stream will he get up no alarm clock and just like we could maybe maybe bet bet on it like love this so no alarm clock everyone predict the time that zach is going to wake up and we'll give away something for whoever gets it right if there's no alarm clock take the over house on the over if we don't have an alarm clock how electric could that be like 9 30 in the morning everyone's tuning in just being like is he oh he's moving oh no he's not up. We're going to get like Rainbolt in the chat and he's going to figure out exactly where Zach is and like order food to his door to wake him up. You down for that Zach? We might have to get like a maybe heavier comforter just in case of boners. I'll just go double sweatpants I was thinking. Wear a cup. Cup's actually probably a great idea. Alright, Firefest.

Hank. The internet is, because I live in a building that has like, the building runs the internet basically. You just pay the building for the internet. You don't have to do it individually. And the internet has been out since last week. I saw a couple emails, kind of laughed at them because I'm like by the time I get back, it'll be back. You were having fun in Orlando. I feel bad honestly for the people that are running my building because i can tell from the way these emails are written that they have the pressure of the world being put down on them from the residents because there's a lot of old people that live there probably a lot of people that just sit in the house all day and watch the news and stuff and it has sucked because i've just been watching like tv and stuff on my hotspot and it's like buffers and pauses and glitches out and stuff but could be worse but i just feel bad honestly for like every day the Updates are like, so we're in conflict with the provider. They said it's going to be fixed, but it hasn't been fixed. We're now actively seeking out other solutions with other companies. This sounds like the whole YouTube TV NFL thing all over again. Once the contract gets signed, it's going to take... They're coming up with solutions for temporary internet, but they're like, once the contract for that gets signed, it's still going to take a week for the temporary internet to get set up. And it's... I mean, it sucked. It's not ideal. But the way these emails are written, it's made me not feel as bad and just feel bad for the people that work in my building. Yeah. So what are you doing? Just phone? Hotspot. Yeah. No, I set up a hotspot and then signed in on my TV to the hotspot. But it's rough. Watching live TV is not ideal. You can kind of watch Netflix or whatever because you can pause it, let it load up, and then play. Damn. fuck it might not be fixed for like another week god saves his toughest battles for his strongest soldiers i think you might need to go on vacation well so this is actually an idea it could have happened two weeks ago it would have been great if you if somebody came up with the idea for an apartment complex like this it's like we don't have internet i bet you there would be some people that would opt into that oh yeah voluntarily like this is a good like uh detox place yeah digital detox yeah that would be cool so you're just getting like a vacation hank yeah think of that embrace it i mean it's a good week for it there's like no i mean you gotta start reading books perfect time don coyote perfect time to start back tonight i did flip open don coyote and then i went to sleep uh no just the i just flipping a page will put you out yeah yeah yeah celtics man no internet this week hank i'm i'm on board with the celtics is jason I don't do this again Listen Jalen Brown NBA Finals MVP No Hank that's gotta be the worst sentence you've ever heard No I don't like I did put a bet on the Celtics You talking about your C's Celtic pride Beantown Come on Jason Tatum's gonna be back huh Seems like it I'm not gonna talk about my bet on the Celtics but I just want Hank to know that I have a bet on the cellar, but I won't mention it ever again. But there will just be looks. Remember when Hank got mad at me when I was like, oh, yeah, Jason Tate in practice today? Yeah, he did. That was great. He got really mad at you. And you were right. But we don't need him. Jalen Brown. This is bad, Hank. It's not bad. I feel bad for PFT. He's just alienating. I'm sure the collective audience has rolled their eyes when he said that. It's so. I'm not going to bring it up. You used to be so funny, and now you just resort to this little bit you're doing. You tried to do it to Max the other day. What did I do? What was he talking about? Jalen Hurts or Bryce Harper? Bryce Harper. That wasn't a bit. That was just guys having a conversation. That was just guys talking about Bryce Harper. Right, and the bet's not a bet either. I'm not going to bring it up ever again. Can you bring it up to me? No. What's your bet? $40,000? I'm not going to bring... What if you do bet? Nobody gives a fuck about my bet, Hank. I'm not going to bring it up. So what if you bring it up? I care. What do I get? Why are you so pressed about this bet? What odds did you get? What odds did you get? 15 to 1. Oh, nice. That's huge. He's just, it's just, every time you turn around, his PFT is just there. He's seeing ghosts. Yeah. This is actually not about Hank. This is about making money and making a good bet. Yeah. Getting good value. Yeah. It's like when there was footsteps in the sand, and when there was only two footsteps in the sand, it was just PFT trying to catch up, being like, hey, my bet on your team, that was him. I'm not going to bring this up. This is bumming Hank out. Celtics are now 15-1 on the DraftKings Sportsbook. Oh, so you just made the bet. Yeah. Oh. A couple hours ago. It's a good bet. It is a good bet. I swear to God, I wasn't even thinking about bringing it up. That's good. Because I knew Hank would try to turn it to a little bet. credit to you no hank will turn it into a bit i know he will but everyone's sick of that he always does that he's gonna make a bit out of this whole thing yeah okay to your fire fest i've had a pretty good week um my fire fest is really i discovered uh because i needed a new computer right i my uh my gaming she lost five of them what did you lose another one no i know where every one of my computers is i had one that i thought was stolen turns out i misplaced it was stolen by me by accident um no my pc my gaming pc at home so i needed a new one need because i had to update one of the combat simulators i like to run in the off season and so that's when i realized that all my technology shit is massive shortcomings i only find out after nfl season's over uh so i tried to run the flight sim not enough space on it went out that's a lie by the way every time i sign into my computer you can see like pft and you're just active on flight simulator what that's true no yeah that's that's not true oh wow i you've reversed it on him when he remember he tracked you on uh on 18 birdies hank's just making stuff up because i haven't used pft also golfed yesterday how'd you play i told you that i did and we already had this conversation off air i like this yeah i like this not bad i hurt my back so that sucks i guess that's the fire fest um but no hey hank you're a liar i have not been on flight simulator i did it one time to do the flyover for jack mccarthy which he ended up not even using and that was like late january what about your phone oh yeah yeah that's different though it's totally different that's a completely different that's maybe that's what i'm saying yes that's what you're saying um no so i i need to upgrade my gaming pc right so i talked to zach i was like zach give me the specs that i need i go to the computer store no free ads so i don't i don't know if i want to say the name of the computer store computer stores are awesome you go in there i've been to a computer store in a while you got to check it out because you go in there everyone's like super helpful people it's like a little bit of nostalgia because most places like most industries you would just buy all the stuff online and then you'd wait for it to show up at your house like a week later yeah this you've got people like walking around trying stuff out people like showing you where the different accessories are how you can match stuff up it was like a breath of fresh air going to a computer store it was surprisingly like one of the most social uh stores that i've been in in a long time so i got i i got a new pc and then one thing kind of led to another and i got a new joystick new uh throttle i got rudder pedals for the first time and it's becoming like a it's a it's a lot it's a lot that i have now set up in my bedroom i basically have a uh a cockpit in the basement of my house like a Full airplane cockpit. It rocks. I set it up yesterday, and I put the VR headset on, and I went up into the clouds for a while. I got lost over the skies of Syria. I felt like a bird. It was great. So I guess my fire fist is I'm in a little bit too deep right now in the flight sim life. But that's okay. That's what the start of the NFL offseason is for, is overdoing it on stuff that you're not able to do during football season. I've been beasting hard. Do you beast, Zach? I dabble on the beast, but not beast games. Oh, they do. The last episode was just all voting. I hated that. It's too much downtime. We got to get to. I need we got to see E-Lims. We got to see people turn on each other for the prize money. Yeah. Yeah. All right. My Fire Fest. It's a pretty quick one. The so at home, I play a game with my kids called Monster where I like I pretend. What happened? USA just scored. Wow. All right. One one. Yes. USA. Oh, Hank's ahead. Hank, is it? That never happens. This is usually behind. You're in the future, Hank. Fuck yeah. That was sick. Hell yes. That was sick. Let's win this game, girls. Bordeaux. So I... Oh, it's like we're behind all over the office. Someone else just cheered. So I play this game called Monster, where I pretend to be a monster, and then if they hit me with a ball, I go back to Dad, and the way they know if I'm Dad or Monster is Monster is hat forward, Dad is hat backwards. So now I just can't wear my hat forward at all in my house. Like at seven in the morning when I go to get my kids like up and try to get them like clothed to go to school, I'm wearing my hat and they're like, are you the monster? I'm like, no, fuck. Wait, so when you wear your hat forward, you're on the monster. The monster hat backward is dad. So I switch back and forth. That's very confusing for Colin. Yeah. So now I'm screwed. I should have done anything else. But the hat. So I just can't like I'll just be walking. like i'll come back from walking stella with my hat for it and they'll just i'll walk in and they'll just start screaming and giggling and running away from me and be like the monster's here i'm like oh fuck it happened again so wearing your hat completely normal is the way to to designate that you're evil yeah that's that's confusing i gotta switch it up they're gonna see random people on the street like that's a monster yeah yeah it's fun game though they fucking love it just chasing them around uh so yeah i gotta figure that out i gotta maybe rebrand monster I was thinking maybe hood up, hood down. That's a different kind of monster. Yeah. That's a real bad one. One leg up. Yeah. No, that's I don't think. I also am just so sore from our Chinese workout. Hank did it this morning. I'm doing a new viral workout where it's like 15 body movements. And it's it's pathetic how sore I am from 15 body movement. What's the minutes? Where did this go viral? All over Instagram. Just dudes doing it. Being like, hey, I saw this one dude who lost like 20 pounds in the last month and a half doing it. I'm sure he's probably eating well, too. He's probably eating Wendy's chili. That's fine. I'm just going to assume that all I need to do is my 15 movements a day and I'll be good. Yeah. It's going to work. Hank, do you feel sore? It was a good workout. I liked it. It's kind of more of a warm up than a workout, but it counts as a workout for me. Just move your body for 15 minutes. We just do it every day. We'll be in a better spot than we were not doing it. Facts. All right, Zach, your fire fest. My fire fest this week, I guess to preface a little bit, had a really constructive meeting with my building, a little update, did not get evicted the other day. Oh, let's go. That was awesome. But he introduced a new term I was not familiar with, a 10-day termination, which I thought initially was like, they can give me 10 days to then let me know I got 30 days. So I'd have like 40 days stacked. That could not be the case with the writing of the lease. so now i'm just paranoid in my apartment to make any noise so so he said that 10 is the 10 day being threatened that it was the next step is 10 day termination which was said he's like you got you're close to a 10 day we do this meeting so that we don't 10 day you but next time it's like it's a 10 legal 10 day wow i didn't know 10 day was a thing that that was news to me wow all right so you might be 10 day i'm i'm close to 10 day but it's like pretend you got pretend the other other guys who get 10-day it's like if they remedy the situation they're good yeah with the noise stuff it's like i can't take the noise back but couldn't you just say like hey i i was out of town i messed up that part went well but it's like this this is your only good mess up now it's like i'm afraid to make any noise or take any phone calls or watch tv in my home now all right so um what about giving them like permission to just go into your apartment if they ever hear it going on too long Oh, just give them open access? Yeah, I think you might have to be an open access guy. I'd have to get to know the staff a little bit more before open access, right? Yeah. Or do I just risk it? I feel like you might have to go open access. I could risk it. Could you install a kill switch in your apartment so they have remote access to turn off your electricity? Oh, like an external breaker box by the door? Yeah, like if the alarm's going off, they've got the Zach button. I could find probably a TaskRabbit that could reroute. What was the tone? I hate that. What was the tone of the meeting? Was it combative on their side? It was. The meeting tone was friendly, but it almost felt like force friendly. Like they could go back to it and be like, see how willing we were to work with you. Yeah. Psych. And did they say like, hey, your alarm went off for this amount of days? Luckily, I think it didn't. He did say it was the two days, but I don't think it went off the entire time. Okay. I think it was like a couple hours off top of the day, a couple hours off top the next day. Any chance, any vibe you got from him that he might be in AWL? No, none of that I didn't get any, like, maybe he's into the show Maybe we could build rapport through sport Maybe you drop, like, a do you know who I am? Well, I'm not Zach dropping a do you know who I am to his landlord I don't have that in my bag I'm a six mic, you know what I mean? I'm just happy to be able to put in the program We also will be incorporating the bomb alarm during this week Oh, nice Okay For a multitude of different ways All right, so let's stay away from the 10-day. But even if it's a 10-day, you get 40 days. And then you also – technically, if you get a 10-day, you have, what, 40, 65 days. Or no. How many days did we say we'd give them? 15. So you'd have 55 days. That's a lot of time to find a new lease. That's tons of days. That's so many days. That's promising. I just like – I don't know if I should make any more noise. Isn't your lease up soon anyway? May. All right, so you're out. I think May. Yeah, you're going to find a new place. but this one i will say this one is so cool it's like you can do better yeah you can so close yeah but you don't want to have to if you sign i guess actually you can resign but i think if you resign i would like to be there because i would like to negotiate a clean slate resigning oh fresh start fresh start i love that the only way you resign this lease is if you get the fresh start do you think there's a world on a reese a fret i get the fresh start but they try to bang me on the on the on the rent they try to bang you on like up it on me well we'll negotiate please them out yeah like i think that there's a chance that they're that upon resign they're like thanks for no thanks no we're gonna you can come back here but we just raised your rent x amount so it's like pushing them out without forcing them out or it might be or their worst case scenario they're like oh now this kid's just overpaying a fuck done for this apartment or it might just be like we've decide to go in a different direction like they might break up with you which would be fine yeah i mean it hasn't been a perfect relationship it might just be time for you guys to go your separate ways like we've that we've spent enough time in each other's lives we the path is complete yeah we're two different people we're not the same way we were when we met yeah you want to see them be happy they want to see you be happy i don't i also feel like we could find zach a much better apartment for his life easily easily i've told him this easily maybe we soundproof it next time he's paying a lot of money for a lot of things that he doesn't use i think i'm gonna do the soundproof panels pft yeah i like that i was looking on amazon you can actually like double side tape the entire wall yeah i'll tell you this it doesn't do shit i did it for my dog when i first got my dog and she was crying a lot it makes you feel better yeah but it makes you feel like you're doing something there's like an effort factor there maybe yeah okay good show boys good show go usa we don't know the so actually no so uh we'll just break glass here so people don't witten and biz want to tape during uh the intermission in overtime so you'll actually hear wow you heard you just time traveled you heard us say one one and then you'll hear in the middle of the interview what happens to the game there's a lot on the line right now yeah that's going to be a computer. We're basically doing memento. Yeah. All right. Numbers. 56. 15. 78. I'm going to do 42. Is 15 for how much Jack tips? No, it's a 15 to 1 is the future that I have. Jack tips 15% 15%. Jack tips 15%.
