Welcome to part of my take presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours. Today is Monday, April 13th and Rory McElroy has gone back to back at Augusta. He puts the green jacket on himself. Boys, first of all, congrats to Rory. Yeah, congrats to Rory. I think we should, I think we should invite, I think we should make Rory say no to coming on this podcast. Yeah, I mean Rory has an open invitation. He's always had the open invitation. He hasn't taken it up yet. He will say no. But yeah, a lot of people are saying that Rory can't go on the big one. Yeah, that he's been ducking this and that's going to be the one glaring, empty spot on his resume. Yeah. When everyone looks at it, when it's all said and done, you've got, you've got Brooks, he's got five, you've got Rory who is now at seven now. Six. He's at six. Rory's at six. So at six, I believe is Faldo, it's Lee Trevino and one other guy. It's a lot of guys in the olden times and then he's still obviously chasing Tiger. He's still chasing Jack Nicklaus. There's a lot of, I was looking at it earlier. It's Faldo, Mickelson, Lee Trevino and Rory. And they're all tied now. And then once you get to that next level, then it's like the gods of golf. Yeah, it's the Tom Watson, Gary Player, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Walter Hagan, who I think played in like the 20s, Tiger Woods. You've got the, I think at seven, that's when he catches with Arnold Palmer. Yeah. Which is kind of crazy. Yeah. He also, that is only the fourth time ever that someone has gone back to back in Masters. So that was, who was it? It was Jack Nicklaus. I think it was Nick Faldo, Sir Nick Faldo, sorry, excuse me. And then Tiger Woods. So it hasn't happened in 25 years. Rory does it. It's also kind of cool that like this age golf, it's been like, hey, the two big guys are Rory and Scotty. They were going head to head today. They've also won four out of the last five Masters, John Rom being the one in the middle there. So yeah, incredible. I mean, we don't let, we're not a Rory podcast, but you have to say like, he, I actually think that if he didn't win last year, this one, he would have probably choked away because he kind of had that, he had that huge lead, he has six stroke lead going into the weekend. He did not play great on Saturday. Everyone kind of caught up to him. And then he played good enough today where he didn't make any, you know, huge, huge mistakes in the back nine. He felt like it felt like he was playing very fast too. He was just getting up there like confident, like, Hey, I just know what I need to hit. And there was a few moments, Scotty's putt on 17 that didn't drop. There was Justin Rose had the lead for a little bit there. Cam Young started the day looking like he was going to maybe win it didn't. So Rory, he held everyone off and then it's a Rory on 18. It looked like we're in for vintage Rory. And I think that's that's the difference between this year and last year for a lot of people is that we it was so painful last year. Yeah. And I think everybody, even the biggest Rory haters came around to kind of rooting for him on Sunday. But since he's got that rooting for since he's got that green jet all. Yeah, I was not. I think that most people watching him on 18 this year were kind of hoping for a good old fashioned Rory choke job. Yeah, like he's got it. And plus, if it was going to be Scotty, like that would be a great, a great story for Scotty to and he the putt on 17 just didn't turn up the last second. It was like half a ball that he missed. I would hit that putt easily. Yeah, easily. Sometimes these guys know the course too much. And they overthink the course. Yeah. You know, if you're married to somebody for like 60 years, all you do is fight. You know, you lose sight of what makes that person so great. Not a guy like me. But yeah, Scotty, he was he played really well on Sunday. Roy did not play that well over the weekend, but he played really well. That's why you get it. That's why you get a huge lead. That's why he was he was in the lead for every single day of the tournament, which is pretty crazy. So you know, pretty much wire to wire. It helps when you have a private jet that can fly you back and forth to Augusta for day trips. So I initially saw that story for people who missed it. Rory said after I believe it was Thursday that he has been coming up going up to Augusta dropping his daughter off at school, hopping on his plane, going to Augusta practicing, then getting back in home home and time for dinner. First of all, what a flex. I think everyone if they had the means and to do that not only to have the private jet, but also to play Augusta would do it in a heartbeat. I initially wanted to shit on it being like that's not fair. That's that's basically like Mamba mentality or, you know, when like the stories of MJ or any of these guys who are just crazy competitive and they put in all the work. That's just what Rory was doing. It just happened to be that it needed a private jet for it. Yeah. I mean, I don't think that it's unfair. I think anybody can do it. Yeah. I wanted to say it was unfair just because I'm not the biggest Rory fan. And but and I know golf is so weird because it feels like whenever there's a winner, we all have to congratulate the winner. Like, why can't we root for guys? Yeah, no, it's like any other sport, you know, like I wasn't rooting for Rory. I was rooting for Scotty. I would have been happy with Justin Rose would have been fine with Cam Young. Anyone, anyone. But Rory. Yeah. Who else was close? Russi. Russi was up there. He does nothing for me. I probably would have gone Rory over Russell Henley just because Rory winning back to back. Trill Hatton was up there. That would have been fun. Trill Hatton. Yeah. Our guy Max fucking played his balls off. But back to the back to Rory thing. Yeah, because because it did become a story that he would go in and he practices like every week. I think he he said on the record at least like six practice rounds, we're fluent and out, who knows how much is you're right. It's not unfair to and you can't you can't really like hate on the guy for doing that when he has the opportunity. But what we can do is we can then choose to be selective and displaying outrage about the environment. Your carbon footprint. So we can be like, Hey, Rory, I hope it was worth the fact that you like you you probably killed 500,000 people. Yeah, doing that. And I hope it's worth your time. I think it's a carbon footprint of like one average adult in the United States of the course of three years. He used up an entire brontosaurus. Yeah, so I hope you're happy to get to it. I hope you're happy. It's not. Hey, Rory, it's not like we're fighting wars over oil or anything right now. It's not like people are laying their lives down because of our consumption of oil. So I'm glad that at least you got you found it useful. It is it is pretty crazy the back to back. What if he just never loses a master's again? It's now it's it's like, you know, when we're all getting older, but every now and then I'll be in a situation where I play some beer pong and it's like, Hey, maybe I still have it. Maybe I maybe I'll just maybe I'll just hit every shot. Maybe I'll be a 20 year old myself again. What if Rory's just like, Hey, I'm just done losing it Augusta. Like I did that for a really long time. Wasn't much fun. Now I'm just going to win every year. That's what Freddie couple said this weekend. He's watching Rory. He's like, he just might not ever lose. He might not. It might just we might have to Rory proof it like when we Tiger proofed it back in the day. Yeah, like we got a Rory proof. I don't know what that mean taller trees. He got he found himself in the shit on 18. I don't know how they found that ball to the tree. The camera work. Can we say while you the camera I put a note on it. I am usually the number one, like, golf cameraman simp in the world. I will remind people that the camera work that they do during these tournaments is absolutely insane finding the ball, all that stuff. I will I will always stand up for them. This was a major black eye on the profession. The camera work, I'd say for the last 40 minutes of the tournament was terrible. We didn't see Rory's tee shot where it landed. We didn't see Cam Young's tee shot where it landed. We didn't see Rory's second shot where it landed. We didn't see Cam Young's second shot where it landed. They then went to a bunker view for Rory's third shot that made no sense. Yep. We also didn't see Rory's ball go in the hole to win the tournament. Might not have gone in. It's crazy. It was just I it was baffling how bad the camera work got down the stretch. And yeah, it just look Rory's Rory's awesome. He's really good at golf. And oh by the way, we did see so we didn't see all those shots. We did get to see a bunch of teenagers drinking beer in Northern Ireland about 1000 times. So that at least they nailed that one. That one was good. Actually, yeah, more than enough of that. I like that. That was okay. Like it to the home track at Hollywood course. Also shout out to Sergio Garcia. Well, Sergio would today Sergio had on the second hole he hit his drive. I don't know why he freaked out. He hit his drive into a bunker, but just because he has drive too far. Yeah. So the bunker is what like 310 yards away Hank. And he spanked it just like rolled into it. Yeah, Hank was about 310. I think like 315. Yeah, you have your book out. So why did he get pissed off about that? I don't know. He's didn't like wearing it up. Yeah, but you know what? It's also someone pointed out it's like the fact that you're that mad on the second hole. Yeah. So something else is going on. He took his bunker, he smashed it into the ground, smashed it into the water cooler. And then later on that hole, he picked up John Rom's bag and he was like, I'll just carry your bag down the course for you. He also afterwards didn't show much room or he got dinged by Augusta. They were like, Hey, we're we're we're giving you a not a penalty, but a warning. But afterwards he kind of laughed it off because he's got a green jacket and they can never stop inviting him. That's I saw there was a there's a debate this weekend, like which would which would you rather have the gold jacket from the Pro Football Hall of Fame or the green jacket? It has to be green jacket. What comes with the green jacket is insane. Just being able to go there, you get to play this course and you get to play in the tournament for the rest of your life. It's insane. It's pretty good. So Sergio can just smash his driver and they can be like, Hey, sir, please don't do that. And he's like, you know what, guess what? You're with me for life because I won one of these things and I'm coming back for as long as I want. I think that there might be a secret rule where if Augusta's membership votes on, they can get a guy kicked out. Yeah, even if you win a Masters, I think that if you're hated or not amongst the champions, if you disrespect the course and the course's rules. Yeah, do you think they have like a morality clause because then they would have, I mean, Tiger probably would have had a couple of meetings about that. I don't think a morality clause. I think maybe a like if you if you bring a cell phone onto the case. What about Bobby Mack? He's, you know, he got in trouble, right? I kind of like that though. Yeah, for flipping off the course, flipping off the course, yeah, off the patrons can't do that. No, there was one shot to that Gary Woodland had. I think it was on Friday. He hit his ball like way to the right and then was trying to pitch out to get back on the green. I think it was his third shot. The patrons were lined up on that side of the green and they wouldn't move because you put your seat down and that's where you're entitled to stay for the entire day. Gary Woodland had to hit like just a little running ball and lay up short of the patrons so then he could get on the green for his next shot. Yeah, I like that. They built a wall. Yeah, we also had our guy, Max, have an incredible round on Sunday. He went from, he was in the 20s all the way up to Tide for ninth. Yeah. So gets this, I think he got like 600 grand. Max is going to win one. I really believe that. He was in it. I mean, he's finished Tide for 12 or 12th or better, three straight years at Augusta. He's playing the course well. It's just putting together all four days. Yeah. If you look back on how he was playing like last year compared to this year, he's playing way better. Right. I think Matt, you know what? And he didn't have any bad rounds. Like it wasn't that he had a bad round. He just, it's actually funny if you look at the last, I think it's like five or six. It's up until Dustin Johnson won the COVID year. The winning scorer at Augusta has been like minus 10 to minus 12. Like that's what it is. It's just they've dialed it the course to be exactly that. I know people were mad that they nerfed it a little bit by spraying it with water on the weekend. But that's what it is. And Max is, I mean, he's, you know, he finished minus eight today. He's right there. Yeah. Max played really well. I'm proud of Max. I think this is Max's here. Yeah. And Brooks got an invite back too. I think he would have gotten one anyway, but he finished top 12. Yeah. Automatic invite. Brooks is right in there. Our guys are back in. Our guy Jake Knapp also finished number 11. What's more impressive? Sick knowledge, Jake. Winning back to back masters or getting both of your friends back in the masters next year. Like how many dudes just have two friends that are playing at Augusta? Right. And we just got, we just got both of them back at the tournament next year. They're calling. Rory just got himself. They're calling. Just so we're clear. Rory did not get anyone else. We got two guys. They're calling it the PMT sweep. I would love to, again, we'll make Rory say no, but I would love to ask him like, what's more impressive in your mind? Have you ever gotten two of your friends automatic qualifications to Augusta? Definitely. On the same Sunday? Definitely not. Rory might be the top of the list of guys who are never coming on this podcast. Oh yeah. Really? The top? Oh, let's do it real quick. LeBron. I'll rush more of guys never coming on this podcast. Okay. LeBron. Bryson. Bryson. I don't know about that. I think Bryson way better chance than Rory. I think at some point he'll, he'll need it. Okay. So, so Rory, probably Vrabel at this point. Vrabel and Rossini. Chris Paul for sure. Hmm. Who else? LeBron. LeBron. Although LeBron like, what if he's in the internet and invitational? He's like, these guys are so funny. We want to do a podcast. I think we could trick them. Yeah. To be like, Hey, can you just come to our suite real quick? I want to swift. I want to show you our, our producer's tattoo. Yeah. Taylor Swift might do it. Taylor Swift would not be doing. Yeah. That's that's definitely on there. All right. So wait, let's do a top 10. Top 10 most likely people to never come back on the podcast or come on the podcast. Rory McElroy, LeBron James, Taylor Swift, Vrabel Rossini, Chris Paul. Who else? Who else? Fauci. I'm going to say Dr. Anthony Fauci. You think he will? He's invited back on. Rob Schneider. Rob Schneider. Good one. Definitely not. Cine will come back on. Right? Kareem. Kareem. Still live. I think that's about that's eight. That's eight good ones. Trying to think who else if there's anyone else. Doesn't be a problem. Never come on. Coach K. Coach K. Yeah. No, I could see Coach K doing. I wouldn't want to know. I could see him. I could see him. He's in the media. I mean things. Okay. Yeah. That's that seems like you got to think that there's like a a a a a listers that'll just never come on. Yeah. Oh yeah. But that's what I said. You're Sweeney. Sure. That's what I'm saying. Like there's a scene might come on. Do we get more videos? Zach talking about sleeping in. Yeah. Those eyes popping. I think that's definitely happening. That absolutely could happen. Oh, what's the name? Jared Dudley. Throwback. Yeah. Yeah. Remember when he announced that he was coming on and then like a few people on Twitter were like don't do bar stool and he's like I'm not doing it. One of the most random guys ever to be like I'm gonna here's my line in the sand. I would say you're Dudley are bad. Yeah. There's I think amongst golfers. He's probably the only one that we can say. Yeah. Would probably not like to come on bar stool sports properties. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean all it would take would be one nice like video from Dave when Dave bet on him and then we're we change this tune. Yeah. Yeah. We just say nice things about him. Yeah. But congrats to Rory. Good job. Very much. Congrats to Rory. I guess. You will be coming up and he'll tell us how awesome he is. That's why we have SPP on. So when someone wins that we don't like he can Scott can actually tell us why we should like him and we'll be like yeah because Scott's the best. I think that it would it's going to be good for golf to have a guy that's dominant that we don't like. Yeah. I think that's good for us too. It keeps our toes as a podcast because it's very easy like Scottie Schaeffler. He wasn't the most dynamic guy in front of the media when he started to win. We got to know him the most likable person. Well the fact that he likes to finer means that he's the man. Yeah. No I agree. I don't I don't understand golf fans who like everyone or like every single person who wins like that's just not it doesn't make sense. This is this is we got to have some people we don't like. This is residual liking for all the losing that he's done in the past. Yeah. Like he lost so much when it counted and like major major moments that a lot of people develop that sympathy liking of Rory and it's just like I want this poor little guy to just succeed one time. Yeah. And he did. And then he did it again. And then he did it again. And now he's good because everyone's like oh thank thank come on Rory great job. We still remember you're a loser. Eventually we're going to get sick. Like the average golfer is going to be starting to get sick of Rory winning major championship. Well and here's the the honest truth about it. It has less to do with last year I was pissed. This year it was more to do with the fact that there was a moment on Sunday where it was like are we going to have a five team or five person playoff. Like that was that was a realistic thing with everyone bunched up so to not have any type of playoff kind of sucked. Like I wanted to see Scotty and Rory go into a playoff. Yeah it would have been awesome. It would have been great. Yeah. So that was part of it. Other Masters notes. I the egg salad guy. I know we talked about the hats. The shrink movement that everyone says that you know we got to get rid of all these people who were new into golf. I think the egg salad hat guy rules because I think he made that as a custom hat. That's a custom hat. Yeah they didn't sell that one. That one is a custom hat. If you love egg salad that much. And I also was just thinking about it like that guy wearing that hat on Monday morning back at work. That's very funny. The only way the hat can be better is if the letters were a little bit larger and if it was upside down. Yeah. That's also and that hat would absolutely rock. I think it's also the fact that it's egg salad because it's not like if you had a hat that said bacon or you had a hat that said hamburger or ice cream. Everyone loves that. This guy's hat just says fart sandwich. Like you're going to eat it. You're going to eat a sandwich that smells like a fart and everyone's going to be like what's going on. It's going to be delicious. But let's just be honest. That's what an egg salad sandwich is. You know when you make an egg salad sandwich and if anyone walks by they're going to be like ew. That was this is gross. I would like one that said savory tomato pie. That would be a good one. Yep. Just fresh mixed fruit would be a really good hat maybe for like a big bachelor party. It all share different ones of those hats. One that just says soft drinks. I'm just looking at the menu right now of Augusta champion Augusta National. And then one how about one that just says domestic beer. That would be cool. The domestic beer hat I think might be the best one in the non egg salad division to wear on a hat. I don't I think it's funny that that golf people are like we need to shrink the game because these people wear stupid hats to our tournaments. Yeah. I mean it's it's good. Who cares. Keeping in a different in a different form. I don't know. I think people should get to do whatever they want. Love whatever they want. Yeah. If they if the style looks stupid they'll just look stupid. No I do their own choices as a human being if they want to wear a hat that looks stupid. Let them wear a hat that looks stupid. I do think that there should be more places not less that we go to where they do the master's rules of like confiscating your cell phones. Yeah. No technology. I think that people actually crave that right. Yes. I think if you had like a concert a concert venue and they made you do that before the bands went on I think people would actually look forward to going to that venue. I think if they're even if there was a bar if there was like just like oh absolutely like a good sports bar or a good like nice upscale bar and they're like hey put your phones in you know the like little comedy bags at the end. Yeah. Put them in there. You're not allowed to have your phone out in this bar. I actually think a lot of people go. Is it is. Did I hear like Chick-fil-A is doing something like that that if you don't look at your phone you get a free ice cream or something. Look that up. I think I think there's something. My question though to you would be would anyone attend Coachella if you they confiscated their phone. No. No. It's like Coachella actually is the reverse of the masters mandatory phone. Yeah. I think maybe this is just someone told me this and I no phone challenge. Is it really. Is it real. Someone told me this and then I just I'm in a big mood of just whatever people tell me I just believe select Chick-fil-A locations are offering a free small cone to customers who participate in the cell phone coop challenge. I like this. That's more places to do it. Like if you had you know how like late late summer you start to get some of the some of the theme days at MLB ballpark. Yeah. Like bark at the park. Yeah. If there was no cell phone day. This is like my idea of the ballpark week. Yeah. Your idea of what. No replay week in sports where we could just start just start doing stuff like that where it's like the NBA says hey for an entire week we're just not going to have any instant replay. Yeah. I think if you told people ahead of time hey this is the non cell phone day at our ballpark I think you would actually get a lot of people that want to go to. Definitely. The other ones were how Tong Li who had a 10 who froze out Scotty. What was that at 16. 13. Oh yeah. He was he putted it into the water. He was in the bushes looking for his ball. He also apparently had food poisoning or some type of diarrhea incident because he said he went to the toilet last night a lot of times and this morning when I got to the golf course and was still feeling really bad and I was living in the toilet. Do you think that's why we had a 1% whoop recovery. Oh damn. And then whoop was using that as like promotion which I found a little bit interesting. Yeah. Yeah. He is the he is the man though. Remember he's the one with the on his wedges. It says how Tong is the most handsome man in China. Yeah. Pretty cool. I think that's why he kept hitting the ball over and over again in the woods. Yeah. Because he's probably taking a shit at the time. Oh my god. Now when I saw this Hank maybe you can you can answer my question because I had a golf rules question for you. Why didn't he just say I can't find my ball. Yeah. What is that. What happens. Because like I do a breakfast ball on the on the 12th hole. Yeah. Or the 13th hole. Yeah. Because if you say if I think they have spotters though right but he was like inside of trees. I don't think they had spotters like underneath the trees. If he hit see what you're searching I don't know why I did that. I don't know why I'm trying to find the rule and he typed in breakfast ball. Yeah. Because it sounds delicious. It sounds delicious. What is that like dark chocolate chips melted with oh my god little ice cream balls. Some chia seeds in there. It sounds like like a one that you can put in a ziploc and carry around with you all day. Some granola in there. So I didn't mean to do that. I didn't mean to do that. Maybe put like some caramel and then a little bit of sea salt on the outside. No it's just a penalty. It's like an OB if you can't find your ball. If you can't find your ball you gotta go back to the tee box. You gotta go play a ball. Yeah. You can go back to where you hit your first shot and it's a one stroke penalty right. Yeah. So why didn't you do that. He should have done that. I think he probably thought he could he could make it out because like if I'm in that deep deep stuff I'm going to look for it but then I'm not going to look very hard for it. You're a looker. You're a you're a you're a searcher. I am. I'm a looker. Thank you. May I put down a quote card please. You're a looker. You are from Hank Lockwood. On the golf course in small techs. Any other oh Justin Justin Rose feel bad for him. He now has four top three finishes at the Masters. That's the thing is like Greg Norman has more with out of win with six. It's hard to feel bad for guys like that and that's why it was hard for me to feel bad for Rory too because if you finish second place at Augusta you're going home with like what two million bucks one point five million dollars you can't play forever. Can't play forever. You don't get the green jacket. You don't get to go to the dinner. You got to win one. Yeah I guess and he's also like 45 so it's it's a little sad when when he's at the tail end of his career. I mean two chances. Yeah four top three finishes is brutal. Yeah. The last two years is pain and like him and Rory they're you know Ryder Cup teammates friends but it's like you must kind of resent them. Yeah. Yeah Rory bad friend. Yeah definitely bad friend. Sure I would say so. Bad friend for sure. Rory I did I did like Rory's speech afterwards. He was very gracious and talking about his parents and I think he seems like a nice guy. I'm not a fan but he seems like a very nice guy. Can't say a lot of bad things about Rory. Did he separate the carbon footprint. Did he speed out of the parking lot afterwards and almost run over a reporter like he did so slow. Yeah. He also did you see the the the dust up with Scotty and the reporter. People were making a big deal out of that. I defend Scotty. I don't care. So the dust up was because Scotty said like the reporter asked him what they think his round should have been. Yeah. Applying that like he left some shots out there. He shot a 65 that day and and he goes that's a terrible question. Yeah. Awful. It might be a bad question. He also might not like the reporter. Change your face reporter. Right. I don't know who asked the question. That would you know what why don't you come up. Why don't you if Scotty doesn't like you don't ask the question dude. I might I might agree with Scottie Schuffler on this one. If you shoot a 65 and someone's like how mad are you that your score wasn't better. Yeah. I just I'd be like probably Scotty. Fuck you dude. You couldn't be you couldn't break a hundred twenty here. He kind of answered the question after like he's someone else I answered the question. I was Jason Sobel. Yeah. Listen I don't know what the beef is. If there is a beef but if there's a beef fuck you Jason Sobel or Ryder die with Scotty. Mm hmm. I mean I would love Scotty Schuffler for life just by the fact that he watches Stu Fineyer say some of the most outrageous shit of all time. After church after church before church sometimes. I think what we got to do is like for major golf tournaments there should be a special episode of advisors knowing that Scotty needs to get him pumped up. We could just make a one of one episode for him on Scott. Yeah. Just send him an episode. Yeah. Imagine what Stu would say on that. I just remembered we recorded I helped Stu record. I don't know why he's here when he was doing the voiceover for the Ryder Cup. Yeah. And I believe he made a video for the US team privately. Oh. Where he was just going off on Rory. Oh I love it. Oh man. I would like to hear that video. I can see if I can. Do you have that video. I think I do. That would be a great video to share. Come on for the people. I mean do it. Yeah. Doing a single man episode of advisors just to get him pumped up on a major Sunday would be like you know that Scotty Schuffler is not going to lose a major championship if he's got Stu telling him to lick clit at at 5 15 in the morning. Yeah. Yeah. Just screaming at him. He'd ask. He'd ask it. Go fuck Rory. He'd say it all. He'd say it all. All right. So another masters in the books. Fun time. Wish it was a wish we had a playoff. That's all we wanted because it was so he was flirting with it. That ball not spit that ball not spinning at all on Hank. You're the you're the course expert 15 15 was insane. And then the announcers afterwards being like it should have spun. He did it wrong and he fucked around so close. Like maybe I am upset at Augusta getting nerfed and not in the way that like dude perfect went out there with a bunch of like blow guns or whatever. I'm pissed because I feel like that ball in years past goes back into the creek. Yeah. But they like. Hey listen Augusta they like it how they like it. Okay.

Some NBA coaching news. Yeah breaking news. Where are we going to start? You want to start with that? Doc Rivers. Google him. Google him big cat. This is the least the least surprising news of all time. Doc Rivers is departing as head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks sources tell ESPN after a 30 to 50 season the Bucks will embark on their third coaching search in the last three years. Now it didn't say that he was fired. No. Instead of Doc is departing. He actually said on Dan Patrick's show like a few weeks ago that he's going to beat Dan Patrick to retirement. So I think Doc knew who was happening. He got in the hall of fame then. Yeah. Yeah. I'm out. We were talking about Dusty May last week. He is the original constantly horse basketball head coach. Yeah. Like he's never had a full voice. The Google me thing that he tried to do to his own team a couple weeks ago. Yeah. That was that's an interesting move because I think if you Google Doc Rivers the first things that you find I'm going to guess that Game 7 is somewhere in the first sentence. Yeah. Of his Google. He'll probably get a job as an exec somewhere. Yeah. I think like some shitty team would be like we want you to be our Brad Stevens. Yeah. You got to make Doc Rivers say no and he will definitely say yes. Yeah. Well if you give him that if you give him that job title. Doc will make you say no to hiring him. Yes. Yes. And then we had the regular season is is finally complete. Finally. We had you guys. So I looked this up and this is this was crazy. Did you guys see the the all time like once in a generation Haley's Comet tank off on Friday night. All time game. The jazz played the Grizzlies and both teams have been taking for a long time and the Grizzlies needed to lose. It was a must lose game for both of them. The Grizzlies started four guys on a 10 day contract and a two way player as well. They had the Grizzlies lineup had one first rounder in it and the rest were undrafted or second rounders. Derek Whitehead was the one first rounder and I mentioned Derek Whitehead because in the first 14 minutes of the game he scored 16 points and then the Grizzlies benched him until they were in. It was like a three point game in the in the start of the second quarter. The Grizzlies then benched him till till the fourth quarter when they were down by 50. He was too hot. We also had three triple doubles in this game. One of which was actually a quadruple double and it was Jamey Maeshek. He had 1315 14 and 10 turnovers. He played all 48 minutes. He was a minus 46 with a triple double. Both the triple doubles for the Jazz came from their bench players. They played one. The Grizzlies played six guys. The Jazz played seven guys. It would be really interesting. It was unbelievable. It'd be really interesting to do like a where are they now of guys that got minutes in like March and early April in NBA seasons like three years ago. Yeah. And just see like how many of the guys ever get brought back because it's it's got to the point where it's just it's blatant but there's nothing that the NBA can do about it. It was the first time in NBA history there was three triple doubles in a game and it was the most meaningless game ever. We had Kevin Love trying to come into the game and then being told to sit down. It was because Jazz were so pissed they won. Guys fouling well well lead. Yeah. I say that there's no solution to it. There actually there might be a solution. Did you see the NBA reddit post from last week no about how to solve tanking. Okay. This is as close as I've seen to a viable long term solution. Dynamic beer pricing. Oh. This is from Twitter or sorry Reddit user Kilano for Nia 69 69 the NBA mandates that all beers cost ten dollars for all teams at the start of the season. Teams can increase prices by 35 cents per win and must decrease them by 20 cents per loss. So looking at the current standings right now one beer at a Oklahoma City Thunder game would cost twenty two dollars seventy cents. Okay. One beer at a Washington Wizards game would cost ten cents. I love that. So it's like you yeah you can you can tank if you want but you're not going to make any money off beer sales. It should be all concessions. And let me tell you I think that Wizards fans deserve to have ten cent beers for every game. Yeah. I think they need beer goggles on to be like damn that guy looks like an NBA player. Yeah. No this this would absolutely work. I'm into it. Yeah. It should be all concessions too. All concessions sure. Right. It's like if you're going to put out such a shit product you know the like a family of four should be able to go to a Wizards game and get hammered and get hammered and eat dinner for two dollars. I agree. Yeah. This is the best best solution that I've ever seen. I like that a lot. So we yeah the NBA I agree Hank the finally it's over. This was this was the worst regular season. It was dragging dragging to the finish. And I'm excited for the NBA playoffs but they just they ruined their product this season in terms of how how half the league was just completely tanking for basically the whole season and just non competitive. Like some of these I was looking at the points read the other night it was like every single game was minus 24. It was crazy and and and they were covering because teams are so actively trying to lose. I mean like I said the Jazz Grizzlies game was they started six guys the one guy who shot well they sat immediately because they're like yeah you can't play this well that's how bad the product is. So what do you see the promo win horse cut for it. No I cut a you cut an all time like promo like it was like they're going into game seven. I love that. Wendy's the best. It's very cool. Yeah. I do wonder where they find some of these guys like how do they if you're a GM and you're actively trying to tank like what is the the process like for elevating guys just G League and signing guys but like you want guys that will not help you win. I want to know like actually the nuts and bolts of of how they make the decisions of who's going to be on an NBA roster for like the last three weeks of a season. Yeah. And they just and they and they play six guys and they make sure that everyone's tired and it's a bunch of guys that that are not NBA worthy and they can't win a game. It's it's just terrible. So Max how we feeling about the Sixers. Yeah. So the playoffs set obviously the play in is happening this week. We have the Sixers playing the magic on Wednesday. Max where did you find that. I couldn't told me that right before. He said what it's not Wednesday. I think it is Wednesday. Either way the Sixers are playing the magic for the seven seed which would then face off against the Celtics. The app I'm looking at says Magic Sixers 6 30 Tuesday Tuesday. Oh what are you. They're fighting in the booth. It's a fake name. Rod Bone. Oh no. Did you get. Rod Bone. Did you get. I'm I got bone. Although the Canadians are playing the Flyers on Tuesday night. This looks like a real guy. Yeah. Yeah. Rod Bone. So they do to Philadelphia winning and leapfrogging Orlando in the standings. This is a conflict in Philadelphia on Tuesday because there's a Flyers game. Hornets host Miami Heat on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. I see it on ESPN as well. Max for Wednesday. Yeah. All right. Just for memes. Just for memes. Yeah. Wednesday. So everyone who's listening right now has to root their asses off for the Philadelphia 76. We're not like those Sixers dude. Josh Harris. The Celtics are going to be like minus a thousand to win this. Yeah. But Max fodder. This is not. You said they're going to win in five. No disrespect Max. You sound like a fucking loser right now. Yeah. The Sixers aren't good. Get excited dude. They're playing. Big Cat did this exact same thing when the Bulls were in the last year. That was different because the bulls were in the play in. It's different. Well no they actually it is because the bulls never got the seven seed. They never means nothing. No they never hosted the first play that we always would have to fucking host the game. We'd have to go to Atlanta or Miami. Maybe there's one year we got to. Yeah. There was one year but I think we lost both of those games. We just always lose the plan. Max everybody said last year that the the Knicks had no chance against the Celtics. It was way different and beats probably not even going to play. Why you say that. No I mean you're right Max. I do agree with you. I do. I want it for the fight. The plan I do not like the plan because I think it's bullshit that in now the Sixers would make the playoffs right now if it weren't for playing. I think it's bullshit that the ninth and 10th teams like we don't need to especially in a league where you're trying to get even half the teams to be competitive. The ninth and 10th seed like they're not going to win shit. Absolutely not. But the Sixers might. No they're not. Dude are you scared. This is a year. No pretend to be scared. Of the Sixers. Yeah like reverse it. I mean if a beat had an appendix who knows but. Yeah true. Could be interesting right. This could be an interesting series. That's just a thing about this way Hank that's one less thing that can get injured when you play the playoffs. I mean the next last year it's like you can't take teams for granted. Anything could happen. Yeah you can't overlook any opponent. They're in the playoffs for a reason. They're a good team. Good organization. Got to take care of business. You couldn't even you couldn't even say that without stuttering. Well he's trying to do the biz. Oh yeah got it. It's okay. But I mean you're in you're in rage mode right now. You know I'm not. I'm not. No you're like teetering on range mode. What about playoff P. You're telling me all about playoff P. And how great he's been recently. Yeah he's prime playoff P is back. What if you win game one. We've won game one before to the Celtics. No we were actually good. Against the magic I mean. Oh. Then you'd be then you play the Celtics. And then what if you won the other game one. I just I already answered that. You could win multiple game ones in one week. You guys are. The player's bullshit. I'm actually have your back wax. No you got this. Embiid will come back for. I'm going to officially say Embiid will be back by game three of the series against the Celtics. Okay. Then you got Maxi. You got playoff P. He's got to win. You got to have one playoff P game and Josh Harris steal one there. Then you get a couple of Embiid games and one Maxi game and you're good. That's four right there. Two Embiid games one Maxi game one playoff P game. Yeah. Dude you got that's pretty simple. You got this. So simple. I'm fliered up. You fired up. I'm fliered up. I'm fliered up. Well that's your no I know Max mean you were fight for for a hockey playoffs. That's true. And I love hockey. You love hockey so much. I'm I'm the biggest hockey guy. So yeah the the plans will get recelerate Windhorst on in a couple shows talk some NBA playoffs. Do you want to make prediction like what what what cities has Windhorst secured his hotel rooms in and then we can check with them. Okay. I'll say Celtics Boston Boston. I think he I think maybe New York. I don't think so. I think he might have just only done Boston. No. No. I feel like he might. I think New York and Boston Oklahoma San Antonio and Denver. So it's just what's the what's the fifth one that he's made in in the East. Like that's that's really all the only question. The question is because it's definitely those three in the West and it's Boston and it's just who who's the other. Mayfilly. I mean this is the year a lot of people were saying pundits were saying going into the season. I heard that. This is the year for the sixers to win. You got you got Tatum knocked out with the Achilles you got you got Halliburton out for the season and Indy out of the East. Like this is the year that the sixers should make a run. Now Cunningham he's out too. So it's like things are wide open for the Philadelphia 76ers. Yeah. You did say or pundits did say that. You know what it is Hank just don't on me. He's gonna use technicality. He's gonna say that Boston's the only one he made in the East because he'll stay at his mom's house when he goes to Cleveland. That's exactly what's gonna happen. So he technically has Cleveland as well. But I bet you it's it can't is it the is it the Celtics East East is theirs to win. They have to win it. Right. Yeah. I mean they're not the number one CBS but set the set the bar. Anything other than getting to the NBA Finals is a disappointment. Yeah. For sure. I think anything but but winning the NBA Finals. I agree. You don't come to the playoffs to want to lose. Who would do that. He's not even paying attention. I'm just not participating in this. Me and Zach you want to chime in. You you you nicked up. I'm fired up. I can't believe Hank even just said that. What they can't beat the Knicks and we're just starting it all over again. We're gonna get Bing Bong again. Good. The same thing. Let's just do the same thing. Bring it. Same thing. Bing Bong is Hank. Does he have the same mentality he had last year. The way he's talking right now. Yeah. And the team was significantly better last year. Are you worried about the Hawks at all. Yes. Okay. That doesn't. Hawks Hawks are very good basketball team. You weren't worried about the Raptors. Not a chance. Mack or memes. Can I ask you a question. Yes sir. I have watched a grand total of zero Atlanta Hawks games this year. Can you tell me why the Hawks are a good basketball team. Why they're dangerous. The Hawks traded away. The Hawks had a really good offseason. Got a bunch of guys. They traded away all those guys. Pretty much revamped their entire team and now they're just playing like elite basketball. Got it. That's it. Got it. They're just super athletic. They're super fast and they can shoot the three. I'm kind of excited to see the Hornets in the playing. Yeah. Does that make I know the plane doesn't really count but the Hornets in terms of like the roster right now and they're young. They're fun. Absolutely. They could be a fun. Also it's just like I can't remember the last time the Hornets were good. So it's kind of cool seeing that. And I'm just very excited for the Western Conference playoffs because the the the thunder spurs and nuggets it that's going to be awesome and maybe even throw in the rock. I mean Timberalls are fun too. I don't think the Lakers unless Lucas leg is just better because of the trip. Yeah. He's getting back to him. So he might be. But yeah I'm I'm excited. I'm excited for NBA playoffs. There's nothing like better than playoffs. I took the future on the six years. You did just now. I like that. Nice. I got to at least get a little show some love. What was the odds. It was good. It was good number. What was it. Good number. 50 to one. Just to win the East. I might ride Max 50 to one. There you go. Did you not. Did you ever put another future on. I did on on the Celtics but then I cashed out because I cried but then member Hank called your coward. So he was crying but you said you had something else planned for him. But no I'm going to bet with Max. I'm going to I'm going to stand with my guy. I want to root with Max. Just got to get in beat back. Max and we always butt heads. You know all our teams are always rivals with each other. This is a good opportunity. I want to support Max and his time of need. That's nice. Let's go sixers. That's really nice. Thanks. Yeah. Six up. Six up. Let's have some six. Yeah. Let's have some six. That's pretty good. Congrats on the six. Yeah. Okay. Any other hot steamy steamy six. Any other national sports podcast topics before we do who's back. Anything hockey playoffs are going to start hockey playoffs starting after I got an international starting the watch the hockey playoffs starting this weekend. Next weekend is the is the weekend. We'll have biz and wit and yams on all spring. I've got an international sports podcast thing. Oh OK. Should we should we start caring a little bit about British soccer just for the next couple of weeks because something very funny might happen. Tottenham Tottenham Tottenham. So Tottenham is in danger of being relegated. They are if it ended right now. Yeah. So I looked it up. They're about even odds to get relegated. Now they are one of the six big teams in the in the EPL. They've got a massive payroll. They just built a new stadium like a decade ago for billions of dollars. It would be I'm trying to think of like the NBA or NFL equivalent to this. There isn't because we don't have relegation. We don't have relegation. It would be like it would be like if the the bills. No. I think the only way to do it would be like if if you said if Ohio State started playing the Mac. Yeah. That would be what it no disrespect to the Mac. But like that's that's what it's crazy. It makes no sense. They have a hundred thirty four million quid payroll. I think it's quid. That's probably the unit they use. Pounds. Pounds. It's loonies. I believe. Loonies. Yeah. Hundred thirty four loonies on that roster. A bunch of their players are playing in the World Cup for their respective countries but they just suck and they can't win anything. And I reckon. Yeah. Well I don't know. I don't know who's on the roster. I think Harry Kane's on the roster. No. No. No. Hasn't been for a couple years. OK. Not Harry Kane. Yep. I don't watch EPL. That's OK. I'm I'm I'm excited about the idea of a team that has this much invested in it potentially getting relegated. Yes. That'd be funny for me. That is awesome. It'd be funny to see what happens with the ownership group and it's the reason why American sports will never adopt the relegation model. Absolutely. Because the people that would own the teams would stand to lose so much money. But Tottenham Hotspur they're a team that was going to be in the Super League just a few years ago. They became one name. Sousa. Sousa. There's no last name. He's 19. So he's got to be awesome. Yeah. Yeah. But so that's what I'm rooting for in soccer. Before we get to the World Cup I think it'd be very funny if Tottenham got relegated. Yeah. No there's been a it's been a pretty crazy fall from grace here with how bad they've been playing. Would they then have to play obviously a championship schedule or a second division whatever that is. Is that the championship? Yes. Yeah. The championship schedule where they'd now be going to places in stadiums that have like 5,000 seats. Yeah. That would rock. I think it'd be very funny. Yeah. No. Those are still big clubs. Like those are still big-ish clubs. Like the Wrexham. Yeah. Is that the second division? I don't know if Wrexham is all the way up to the championship league. That's the second that's the league below the EPL. I don't know if they're all the way up there. But yeah. It's crazy. It's absolutely crazy. And Tottenham was in like they were in the Champions League not too long. Did they play in the Champions League? I don't know. They might have played in the Champions League this year which is crazy. I think that might have I think they might have been in the Champions League this year. But either way it's nuts. It's absolutely nuts. I think maybe last year actually that they were in the Champions League. It's a crazy fall from grace for them. Yeah. I want to see I want to know more about what happened to them this year because I'd asked some of the guys around the office that are EPL fans like can you describe what happened? And it was just all some form of like you know how like American soccer fans start to speak with a British accent when they talk about soccer. Yeah. They're like it's just a bottling. They're just bottling. They've bottled it. They've just bottled so many times over and over. It's been bottled. What do you find in it? What do you find in there? I'm trying to figure out if they're in the Champions League. They might have been early. Oh yeah. They were in. So they're out though because I think we're past the round 16 but they were. Yeah. That counts. Yeah. They they this is going to be very embarrassing for you. The only reason I don't want to get involved is I feel like they're going to find a way to pull through. Yeah. And that will suck. Yeah. I want to get involved and be like fuck. I mean there's just so much money at stake that it's hard to believe that I want to I want to see it happen but I don't want to see. I don't want to see us getting embarrassed and have them be able to turn it on us. They probably will pull up the table again. Pull up the the current table right now. They got to play the Wolves. Yeah. Leads Everdon. Everdon's bad too. All right. So so they're playing the Wolves who are last. So that should be. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I'm trying to do a quick math here. I'm going to say I'm going to say they're not going to get relegated. EPL rigged. West Ham is also involved. I'm going to say the relegation discussion. They're not going to get relegated. It's probably going to be West Ham. Everdon's having a nice year. West Ham is probably going to get relegated. Yeah relegated. Not in them for us. Okay. I like that though. This is a good topic. We'll keep we will be updating it and by updating it. Zach can you please let us know. I can do that. Send a group text every single time Tottenham plays. No it's talking talker. Okay. What do we think it taught them. There's a shite in it. Shite in it. What do we think of shit. Shite. Wait. Tottenham. Are you a. What's up. Are you an EPL fan. I dabble. In what's your team. Chelsea we're six on table right now. Okay. Nice. Zach. Why did you chime in. I did. What do we think of Tottenham. Shit. Shit. What do we think of shit. Tottenham. There we go. Is that an actual chant. Yeah. Talking talker. Yeah. Yes sir. I like it. It's a good chant. How's Chelsea doing. The six so they got a. Are they going to climb up. I don't I don't believe so. Are you watching. Last five. What's up. Are you watching games. I'm more so in chat. My I do clips with my little brother. He watches full games gives me. Spark notes. That's a fish. Some of the games are early. Some of the games are like. Oh yeah. That's not you. Yeah. I'll say it. I'll say it. Zach. What is. You can't be doing that. When is Tottenham's next game. That would be 2 p.m. You want to say day. Oh 2 p.m. Saturday. Oh okay. That's not Tottenham. That's Chelsea. We were talking Chelsea to be fair. But also just saying to also is pronounced Tottenham. Well I thought we were talking about timing wise to see if Zach. Oh yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. And what city is Tottenham. Tottenham is in Manchester. That's right. The 18th. The 18th. Sir. Give me a day. Oh gotcha. Saturday 11 30 a.m. against Brighton 11 30s central time. All right. So you will update us. Okay. I can do it. Yeah. All right. We're on Tottenham. Why. And then relegation. Why. And they're playing against Brighton Brighton. Yeah. Brighton. That's correct. Sorry. The Seagulls. Can you tell me what I say about Brighton. Like what up the Brights. What do we say. Bright up. Come on you Brights. Brighton if you got them. Yeah. Brighton if you got them. I like it. I think I think they're the are they the yeah they're the goals. The Seagulls. You don't see a lot of seagulls in terms of in terms of mascots. But that's that's Brighton. Yeah. And you know there's a shit load of seagulls there. That's the the Albion. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good bird. Yeah. Okay. Let's see who's back in the week. It is brought to you by our friends at Twisted Tea.

Justin Bieber. Coachella. Beber Chella. I forgot that Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry were dating like the most hateable couple of all time. But they're so relatable that they're at a concert together. Yeah. Yeah. She had that shirt about Vapes too. Yeah. Yeah. What does that say? It said if I ask you if I ask hit your vape please say no or something like that. Classic. Classic. I love those lines. That's very cool. Classic. It's very cool because she's like what 24, 23. How old is Katy Perry? She's old. I'm trying to. It said please do not give me a rip of your vape no matter what I say. And Katy Perry age on the other hand. Oh she's 41. Okay. Okay. Cool. Okay. Definitely goes in the running theme of growing with the show and being washed. But I realize this weekend like there's nowhere that looks more appealing to be at than the Masters and there's nowhere that looks less appealing to be at than Coachella. Then Coachella. Coachella was tough. It just looks like it looks like hell. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. I think it's probably my age. But the last five years, the last six years, I've just I don't like crowds anywhere. I just don't like being in crowds. Yeah. I'd rather just sit at home. Like sitting at home is so much better than being a place that everybody wants to be in a crowd. Sitting at home and listening to music rocks. Yeah. But yeah, I guess because he sold all of his all his catalog. So there I guess might have been some technicalities with him not being able to perform old music. So he treated the concert like it was like a you know, Twitch stream where he's just sitting on a laptop pulling up old clips and then like singing along to basically old clips of him singing songs. Very, very different concert. It sounds like he might not have wanted to like pay a DJ or band to play with him. Well, I don't think he was like a lot. I don't think he somehow doesn't have the rights to his own music. So he but he can be like if we did the live show, our live show in LA. Yeah. If we just pulled up Instagram clips of ourselves and just played those. Not a bad idea. Yeah. Easy 30 minutes. Yeah, cello not for not for any of us. We should send Zach as a correspondent next year. That actually would be good if he came back. Max says also in and memes. Oh, okay. Whole booth. Yeah, I'll film the cello. I'll film Max and Zach put on it. I don't hate that idea. Would you rather go to cello or Burning Man? They're totally different for sure. Yeah, Coachella. They couldn't be more different. Yeah. Although I sure Coachella is like an influencer event with Coachella. You get lost. You can find your way back. You get lost at Burning Man. You might be out there for a while. If you want to send me back and I will go in Palm Palm Springs, California. Yes, sir. Yeah. It's like a beautiful place. Burning Man's middle of a desert. And you gotta isn't Palm Springs in the middle of a desert? I mean, a desert in Springs. It's like, it's a beautiful place where people go on vacation. So I think Coachella is like very fancy. Glamping and all that shit. No one's, no one's roughing it at Coachella. No. Yeah. I saw a somewhat quarterback was there with the Kardashians, but I did also then. That's cool. Yeah. Someone I laughed at this because it's like too much information. Shout out Ross Reed. He was on top of it. He said, kill Williams been going to Coachella on behalf of Nutra Gina. Nutra Gina for years now since his NIL deal when he goes, he sits in their section. Those Kardashian gender ladies also have partnership with that company. Let's wrap this up and keep it moving folks. Shout out that guy. I saw the picture. I was like, oh no. And then Ross Reed came to the rescue. He was like, dude, don't worry about it. Got it. Done. So Coachella Bieber Bieber, Coachella Bieber, Coachella. Is he back? I think Bieber's back. I mean, the hype, people were hyped. People were so hyped. Bieber never left though. Can't be back if he never left. That's fair. Didn't he like try and do a tour like a year ago and couldn't sell tickets and had to cancel it? Yeah. He did run into a little bit of debt with Scooter Braun, but that's why you sold the masters for 200 million. Oh, he just sold himself to get out of debt. 200 million. What are our masters go for? We're not allowed to do that. Yeah. That's a baller move. Okay. P.F.T. Hoosier who's back? My who's back is maybe Alexander Vetskin. Oh, he might be back. So I've been assuming that he's going to retire all season. I think a lot of people have been assuming that he's going to retire at the end of the season. And then today, the Caps played against the Penguins, beat the Penguins three nothing and the Penguins lined up in a cool gesture. They wanted to shake Ovi's hand because it might be the last time that they play him and Ovi waved them off the ice and said, no, go, go, leave, not accepting the final handshake. Windhorse hands go up. Does that mean that Ovi's coming back for another year next year? I think he might. Whoa. I think if we make the playoffs, he might be back next year. Are you I'm excited about close to making the playoffs. Yeah. Well, if we win one game, if we beat the blue jackets and then Max loses the next two games, so Max would no longer be fliered up. Max would have to play the Hurricanes and then who else do you play? The Canadians. Yeah. So two good teams. And they're not playing for the Canadians might not be taking anything. They're tanking. It's resting, maybe positioning, positioning is what they call it. It's not taking and hockey. It's position. No, the game is a good playoff. Oh, playoff position for them. But who the Hurricanes would that be that would be taking or no? I believe Hurricanes are good. Hurricanes are awesome. All right. So yeah, the Hurricanes are really good. Yeah. Hurricanes are maybe probably going to win the Stanley Cup. I'm saying good and exceeding though. Yeah. Yeah. They're positioned. They're positioned. Carol, the Hurricanes are as positioned as you could get. They've been positioned. Yeah. They're they're just chilling on right inside the Cape Verde Islands just ready to strike. So I think you're in position. I think that there's I think there's a good there is a 45% chance the Caps make the playoffs this year. And incorrect. I said I think Max. But I mean, there's there's odds. Yeah, there are percentages. I said I said I think you're a point back and the Flyers have two games left two games left. If you have one game, we have one game. Yeah. There's a chance that we make the playoffs. And there's also a chance that Ovi comes back. And I realized this this last week because he's played pretty good. And it would just be awesome to see the Caps play against the Penguins in the playoffs one more time. That'd be great. He's all flied up though. He's flied up. But you just plenty of time. He flied up three things have to have percentages alone. That's not 40. You need to be focused on having you need to win. The Flyers need to lose and the Flyers need to lose. Yeah. How was that 50 50? That's three things. Three things have to happen. I know some people like the setup for the NHL playoffs. I think it's so stupid. I don't get it at all. Well, I get it. I just think it's stupid. It's stupid because you just have teams that shouldn't be playing in the first round playing in the first round. Yeah. Like the the the Western Conference the Central, all three teams are awesome. And they're gonna end and the Stars are gonna play the wild in the first round. Yeah, I don't like it. It's crazy. It makes no sense. I don't like it either. Like I get it. It makes it so there's rivalries and you know you're playing familiar teams. But I just don't understand how you can have an entire 82 game season and then have the second and third best teams in the Western Conference have to play in the first round. It's a fucked up system. I agree. That's stupid. But in this case, I would love to see a Caps Penguin's first round season. Yeah. Just because it would just be a complete nostalgia fest for me. But I think Max, I personally think there's a 50% 45% chance the Caps make the playoffs and you can think what you want. You should be focused on you should be focused on thinking you should be focused on statistical yeah on having six 100% statistical but let them think yeah, you know, 110 at Augusta and the Caps make the playoffs. I said no, I said 45% chance the Caps make the playoffs. Yeah, there's still there is a chance. Yeah, that was that was too high of a percentage. You went too high for what would you give it? It's probably like 33. That was like 25. 33 is and 33 is generous because it I don't know there's three things. So I'm just one out of 333. We're not math guys. Yeah, never were. But yeah, NHL playoffs starting this weekend as well. We did both. Okay, my who's back the week I had to what versus the Badgers doubly both ways. One because they broke my heart on Saturday I watched almost four full games of the hockey team this year they lost in the championship game in the frozen for up one nothing for 50 minutes of the game Denver and the announcers budget grass credit to him he kept on saying like this is what the Denver does is what they do and then that's exactly what they did. They scored two goals in the last 10 minutes and won the national championship. And then the Badgers have not fired but kind of maybe fired our AD Chris McIntosh he's getting a newly appointed job a brand new job at the Big 10 they just made it out of thin air. And so now I get a new AD which job don't know but it's it's never good when you're like I'm leaving this job for a job that was just created. Yeah, special envoy. Great special envoy to the big has not been good the last few years. And so maybe we get an AD who who can fix some things maybe get a AD who respects podcast money because that's that's the kind of weirdest thing about well there's a lot of things I'm a small piece of Wisconsin and all this stuff going on but I've offered to pay NIL money and no one's followed up with me for like anything like multiple times asked they just don't have their shit together it's crazy like and I again maybe they don't respect podcast money and they're like oh this guy doesn't you know you can't pass him board apes but you'd think that someone would follow up with me this is someone would be like hey you remember you said you wanted to get money I have said it to the football team and the basketball this is what we call in the biz a hot lead if you're a salesperson it's couldn't be hotter that is a hot inbound lead talk to looking at talk to a friend of mine who maybe played in the NBA you also played for the Badgers and he's like same thing kind of happened to me Dan was it Kaminsky I'm not going to say names after his birthday I'm not gonna say names but it's crazy how do you not we don't have we haven't had our shit together sounds like Wisconsin needs a Salesforce subscription I don't think they have one I hope they I hope they make me say no for the vacant ad job I will say no but I hope they make me say no that'd be kind of cool just if they just called just knowing I'd say no but just just so I could say no the thing is you wouldn't say no I would definitely say no this is probably the last job imagine the amount of paperwork you have to fucking fill out for that job they told you you could live in Chicago still do the show no but also be ad no because I would I people would be so mad at me because I would be blamed for everything and again the paperwork think about the paperwork there's so much paperwork you have to do yeah like constant also who's back the week the NFL draft because it's coming up and we now have the thing that every insider knew for the last six months but somehow we didn't know is the general NFL public and then every insider says well everyone knew it why is it a big deal and we're talking about Reuben Bain which seems like a pretty big deal because apparently he was in a car accident two years ago and someone died yeah which pretty serious thing but then then to get lectured about how everybody already knew about this when everybody was like wait what what isn't your job as insiders to tell us yeah so like what how is it that everyone is everyone in the NFL media circles you'd be like yeah we knew that every team knew that okay well then tell us mm-hmm I don't even understand how this story never made any news it's pretty crazy it's crazy I was kept in house and then I did a little bit of reading about it and it sounds like the family of the person who passed away has no ill will toward Reuben Bain like they're wishing the best for him but still like all this is a lot to process yeah and it seemed like yeah maybe NFL teams knew about it for the last couple months but I don't think anybody else did well isn't the job of the insiders to tell us yeah I don't know it's just a very weird story and a very serious story but this is the news this is what happens right before the NFL drafters we start hearing about stuff that then every person in league circles like yeah everyone knew this okay great tell us now I don't think that like the NFL is just about getting guys that can play football yeah I think at the end of the day they don't really care unless like if he went to court and he was like my arms are too short to reach the steering wheel yeah then they'd be like hmm don't know if we got room for you yeah uh but if you're a productive football player they don't give a fuck about any of the like alleged red flags yeah yeah okay uh is it 4 a.m. is it a corax didn't know breathalyzer the whole story is weird in I mean this poor poor girl died like she was in a coma and then died I don't it's crazy it's crazy that we are just finding out about this now but again apparently everyone else knew uh Zach my who's back this week is an honorary statues because we had another all-time blunder yes and it feels like we're just on a hot streak of the honorary statues never going good yeah uh King Griffey rips a rips a tarp off each row bat shattered shattered the bat was pretty bad it looks sad like it looked like a sad baseball bat yeah very like ed looked like yeah actually yeah the balance look like we need to see yes that's a great comms big time is he was that what you said oh uh that was that was good comms that was I didn't mean to say that out loud but it'd be good communication you put out some good communication to me I'll never say that again I'm sorry no I want you to speak like a gamer but that's what you guys say to each other yeah yeah like good coms ro.co this is the exact one of Zach's like most used words yeah I know I just for some reason in that in that yeah we were just having a conversation yeah yeah I didn't mean to have to make it to the airways no no you and I had a little bad comms over over the weekend on Friday um wonder if we'd like to unpack this a little bit we can Zach and I had a bad back and forth that was that was bad a bad bad comms we had really bad comms on Friday uh Zach Zach got a little casual with me over over text message accidentally extremely casual yeah way accidentally though yeah wait what happened this is it's not fair your framing this pft okay it is fair and no I agree with him Zach it's not fair is he trying to do gotcha gotcha culture no it's just a little casual no I had a miss it was just a mistype and but also the way pft ended things off I thought about it all weekend did you really you left me hanging there I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you think about it all weekend read it was it the group text no no so we were uh we were just trying to decide where to hang some things up and uh he gave me some direction and incidentally I just said uh K sounds good and then I replied quickly to let him know swear I was trying to type okay not K wasn't okay not a K in text wasn't okay and then he capital K me yeah so Zach Zach accidentally said K instead of okay but then like wrote a paragraph explaining how he meant to type the O before the K but he didn't and he didn't because K can be like pissed off and then and then he didn't mean for a fire off K when I'm upset so I had no choice at that point but to respond to that text with K yeah that was the only thing I could do Zach now thinking thinking back that does make a lot more sense but in the moment I I was worried I was like I can't let him think I'm just K in him I would never you know sometimes people think if you're right okay that that's being too well no so I think if you ranked it it would be which I think is bullshit I think I think K well yeah that you get that from like people in the office right even max max was saying it I think that's a lowercase K is okay I think okay is okay okay period is bad yeah K capital is is bad I think lowercase K is is bad no I look at K you're just on the go yeah that's like a quick that's fast yeah okay no you hit one other fucking button you know what the worst yeah when you're mad at someone like you do the worst the worst is okay a y period that's the worst I've never seen anyone do that if you get that you're fucked I don't what's worse okay or or got it yeah was it got it or gut it got it gut it is the most you don't gut it it's just always it should just always be okay sounds good but okay okay sounds good should just always be the answer yes or just sounds good yeah sounds good you can just get rid of the okay period is I'm pissed at you yeah Hank does it all the time yeah I do not do period I do not do it is period is like really pissed it's like hey this is the plan I say okay it's really fucked up oh yeah I see yeah you're max is right you did you're pissed about that when you say okay like hey here's the plan you say okay what if I said okay exclamation point yeah that's cool that would be fine yeah exclamation point else or just say sounds good I guess I could say sounds good that's a lot of typing sounds good might get you for people yeah I think that's that would probably like clear up half your relationships if you just do sounds good I guess does anybody have any idea where okay came from um I think it's the band that ran on the uh okay go yeah yeah yeah it's just weird that we got a word that's like all right but it's just two letters and those two letters make a word yeah fucking you up now I don't like I don't want to think about every language where language come from yeah humorous intentional misspelling of all correct what but that's not oh it's not all and k is not correct all right hold on I'm gonna it first appeared in print on March 23rd in the Boston Morning Post English word as part of a fad for using abbreviations most modern references works hold the original year are embossed part of a fad in the late 1830s yeah and and all all correct oh ll correct as a misspelling of all correct this that's weird huh yeah thanks stop doing okay to people got it there you go nice sounds good sounds good is all you need yeah okay here's the plant yeah see k is actually better I think k is better than okay and from coming from you okay sounds good yeah you're okay I can I can tell how angry you are with just that okay yeah yeah I'm not Matt Zach do you have any others that you were saving the others I just had were Caleb not focusing on football me and Coachella and JB going 10 million for two weekends so that's all did you I mean did you not research about Neutrogena Neutrogena yeah in the NIL deal he had uh I thought we were researching uh the probe this week okay the space probe no the NFL probe right oh yeah yeah that's right yeah yeah yeah that sounds good was that the wrong project yeah no no that's right that's fine how's the probe going probe is not going good there's there's some conflicting information on the probe being like who started the probe and why it's there okay there's like a couple working theories do you guys want to know yeah sure the probe could be due you want to see what the probe is so the probe is the Department of Justice meddling around in the NFL's inner workings and they're saying they're doing it because of like not poor work conditions but like violations of federal labor laws and work discrimination like practices but I really think it's more about the money I think they're trying to get in there on the TV rights yeah and they're saying it's not really the DOJ that wants to do it it's more so one of the one of the big rich families got it okay that being the Murdoch family ah okay now we're getting somewhere so like inside NFL guy just saying could be the Murdochs because you know they own Fox and they there's like a that's why the story was in the Wall Street Journal the other day okay and there's another spin zone where it's like back in the day the current guy who runs the whole country tried to get a team they wouldn't let him get a team so that this is just him maybe trying to get his get back for past wrongdoings so there's a couple of different angles okay well hot seat public Tory because I think Zach just got to the bottom of this so it should take a couple of months we always gotta just follow the money that's really good investigative journalism uh-huh big time good job Zach okay should we get our interview with Scott van Pelt from the airport tradition unlike any other let's do it before we get to Scott van Pelt he's brought to you by Microsoft 365

you at the game the room reacts like it just got the same text at the same time you stop checking the time and suddenly small talk escalates to laughing so hard that you can barely catch your breath that's the Cuervo effect a signal everybody understands a moment that anyone can join and a good time that just grows all you have to do is keep it Cuervo and now here is Scott van Pelt. Okay we now welcome on a very very very very very very special guest it is our favorite master's tradition it is Scott van Pelt, Scotty Too Hotty from the Augusta airport after being at Augusta for the last week five days seven days I don't even know how long you're there do you live there? I got I got here a week ago Sunday so it's been it this has been a prolonged stay in Augusta. Okay beautiful and we were troubleshooting we had some issues with the cameras before I'm happy you could now see us because we came locked and loaded this year we brought our own tech big Texas for everyone we have a huge box of them here you go big gate you got a little yep I got a bunch of them look at these baddies right here this is the sign that we have got a new green jacket winner which actually this year we don't we have the same green jacket winner Scott tell us everything how was how was today how was this week Rory we're not Rory fans but you can sell us on Rory. Yeah I was I was following you today and I saw that you were not rooting for Rory I'll be honest I was rooting for Justin Rose just because I want him to win one and Rory already has one like the thing about this place is if you come here all you can think is I want to keep getting to come back here every spring because it's just it's awesome and the people are great and it's the you know the traditions and all that so I was pulling for Justin just because I feel like he's been so close and it feels like you know karma or something maybe it's not owed one but I wanted him to win but I mean Rory's an awesome player and we should love great things and he's great so you know he made history last year he made history again you'll forgive me I'm just sitting in the snack room here yeah in the break room yes I'm gonna get comfy so but why weren't you rooting for him big guy did you have giant futures on somebody else no honestly well there's it was two part one is um I've just never been a Rory guy I think it's the you know partially rider cup partially just you know I we're big believers on this show I think there's some people who watch golf and they they kind of root for whoever ends up winning they're just like oh what an accomplishment I like to treat golf like it's actually you know almost a team sport where it's like you have your guys you don't and you have guys you don't like Rory's been always in the don't like and then especially today and I want you to tell us what it felt like but there was a moment where it was like there could be a five player playoff here and I think we all were kind of rooting for that and we were rooting for Scotty at least bare minimum Scotty and Rory to be in a playoff so it was partially that where it's like this is going to be great we're going to get bonus golf all these guys have caught up and then he Rory was able to just kind of put him away and never really sweat down the last three holes that's all fair and I mean the thing that's so different about this year and last year is okay had he not won last year then today everyone would have everyone would have been filled with dread and angst and like oh my god this poor guy can't do it and he's never going to win how's he going to blow it but since he had a green jacket all of that was gone and so the fact that a six shot lead from Saturday morning was had evaporated totally different feel and you're right I mean as as the day plays out it feels like here we go right you know all these different players involve Hatton and Henley and more cowl awesome job by him battling through a back injury and Scotty's lurking Scotty was 12 shots back before Saturday started and you're thinking he's out no chance he finishes a shot out in the end but it was kind of like it was close but kind of fake close you know I mean like we never got that sense of here we go man we're going to be playing five wide into darkness and the thing that I think most people want is you know they used to say Ken Venturi famously said you know the Masters does start till the back nine on Sunday well you know now it's second nine thank you and we're on the second nine and you're waiting for fireworks and they didn't happen they really didn't come today and so I think it's I guess it's disappointing just because you just want to see the fireworks you want to see you know somebody whole one from hoop one from 30 feet away or knock one close for a birdie and if Rory makes that one on excuse me if um if Scotty makes the one on 12 then Rory has to play 18 with a totally different feeling and it just didn't happen it almost reminded me of how Tiger won tournament so many times where he would get a lead and then other guys just fell off and it lacked that incredible drama late but that's just a credit to the fact that Rory played better than they did and they just couldn't they couldn't encroach on the guy and Rose made a couple of costly bogies and wasn't able to get back to to the top like he did a year ago yeah I've got an impossible question for you to answer but I'm gonna ask it anyways okay the impossible question if Rory didn't win last year do you think he would have been able to hang on through the last three holes this year no I agree I don't I really don't and I'll tell you why like there's a there's a now I'm in like a work area I'm just I'm in a new I'm in a new FB I'm in a new FBO I'm a little awesome I just if I wander into like I might be in the tarmac in a minute I don't know what the fuck I'm doing um I don't think he would have pft because I think that there's he had this freedom of and he said it's Saturday like I got it I gotta remind myself that I still tied for the lead and I have a green jacket and then he's like a little bit of a flex you know I have to remind myself that I have a green jacket which I do you know and it's he gets to go to the champions locker room last night he knows he's good and I I think if he had to knowing it's Scotty and it's a one-shot lead and he's never won here and he's trying to finish the career grand slam no I and that's not a knock on him that's just an acknowledgement of how heavy the weight would have been if he didn't win last year yeah yeah yeah so last year was really worth too yeah and I don't know if you saw this I mentioned it because we already taped the beginning of the show but like I felt like the pace that Rory played with because he got in a couple tough spots but he didn't really stand over a lot of shots he was kind of just kept on moving along you could see that confidence in him of like I know what I'm doing and maybe it's because he by all accounts he played Augusta 75 times in the last month and a half yeah he he spent he spent a bunch of time up here um and I mean I think he acknowledged as much like drop his daughter off the school hop on the pj fly up play around come back for dinner I mean and by the way like I think people hear that and they're like well why should he get to do that like Justin Thomas came up here and play practice rounds too I mean it's not like it's he got some special perk that other players wouldn't have gotten but yeah I mean he spent a he spent a ton of time here and he knows it well I mean he's been playing it for years since 2009 as a pro so there's I mean there's a lot that was cooked into today and look ultimately he had a two-shot lead he had a green jacket and he could play it up this wrong side of 18 and still win my guy Andy North was like I don't know what he's doing hitting a driver but it didn't cost him and I mean it's it's a different relief like a different joy um but now he's got six and you talk about a flex like you go into the butler cabin and the chairman puts the jacket on you because there's the I won like give me my coat back you know yeah yeah yeah and by the way we also mentioned the I think people are put off by the private jet part of it but it's no like if you said that that was Kobe Bryant Kobe Bryant a story like that comes out about Kobe or MJ everyone's like oh my god that's mama mentality they just want it more they went up there every day and practice so it's like yeah he he has the ability to do it why wouldn't he become the most prepared golfer for this tournament so he has six we it's a cheap day after radio trick that I'm sure you you've done in your career uh over under eight and a half majors for Rory three more three more he may never lose Augusta again yeah Fred couple said he's gonna win them all yeah from now on uh three is a lot man I mean he didn't win any for more than a decade now he's won this two in a row three seems like a lot eight feels like a eight feels like a healthy number okay I'm not rooting against I'm not rooting against them winning 10 I don't I mean go get them but I just think it's a winning ones is a lot man like three that's half of what he's got in his whole career that seems like too many to me okay follow up question who ends up with more Scotty or Rory I think Scotty's about to turn 30 Rory's 36 I think I mean what's Scotty got he's got two of these and the open championship and he's got four I believe yeah yeah he's got four yeah so he's got and he'll go to Shinnecock with a chance to finish the slam if he wins the US opening so he's got four I mean Scotty just has more runway um so he's you know if he's is he six years younger so that's 24 more majors that's I'll give me I'll take I'll take Scotty I'm just trying to be hot takes Scott yeah hot takes Scotty yeah well I mentioned too like it it is sometimes uh golf especially the Masters is kind of it's not easy but now we're at a spot where four out of the last five Masters champions are Scotty or Rory and those are the two best golfers in the game and those are the two guys that will probably define the post tiger era the most and they're dominating this tournament I agree but it's like it's still and Rory said this tonight he said I tried to tell myself the reason this was so hard last year is because I was trying to complete the slam but I what I realized now is it's just really hard to win this tournament and I'd say the reason there's a million reasons part of it's the golf course and how it kind of sets up in a way that brings many players into the mix it always happens happen again today but it's how many guys play it really well Justin Rose has had so many close chances you know Cameron Young's not going to go away Colin Warcow a battle through a back he's here in the mix and on down the line there's just so many players and I said you know before this week oh who give me a an outlier give me a you know someone who's of dark course and it's like why bother with that it's not going to be someone that's that's some off the grid player like your leaderboard on Sunday is going to look like what you think it's going to look like I just don't know what the order is and that's what this like like when we go to Shinnecock when you go to the open championship when we go to the pj and Philly next week shout out to max it'll be it'll be if there's an outlier wouldn't surprise me but here it'll I feel like it's almost always going to be this type of player yeah delivers and you were talking about you know the the gap that Rory had in between so he won a bunch up until 2014 then nothing till 2025 now he's won the last two matches around his is his game like completely different right now than it was three years ago he just hit the ball so fucking far I mean he just he's that he's like and the issue he was crooked a lot this week like he didn't hit a lot of grades a lot of straight drives but when he does my god he hits 340 um he's he's hit I hit swing and even if you don't like golf a lot like I get you know the awl is if you don't like golf all right but just watch the dude swing and picture like a perfect like a Ken Griffey jr baseball swing like it's perfectly on balance there's so much power it's I just I'm marvel watching the guy hit the ball his wedge game for a great player is not great but a short game this week was insane um so I think I mean pft you're asking like what's better at the moment I think he's he's he just hits the ball so freaking far and he was a little wayward this week but when he's straight I mean good luck how how much uh how much potential add dollars did major league baseball lose out on with cam young not winning uh I have no idea ask is get revelling revelling he knows that the MLB patch is so funny on his collar it just it makes me laugh every single time I listen I I can't kick out of that because I know all the agents all these guys have been friends forever and I always I always love to look at like all right we got one here we got one here going like I mean it's just you're a human signage right like each spot is a place you could throw something I mean grab that cash I got no problem with it yeah it was very funny I think it was when he won at the players and he was wearing like a light blue shirt with the MLB load and he actually looked like an umpire like that should be his sunday outfit it's like his umpire sunday time yeah yeah um there were there was so I feel like there was an NFL team at one point that sponsored a pga golfer too pain steward pain steward back in the day that he used to wear the the colors on sunday of of the closest home team to where he played and he actually did that during a stretch when he was playing great major championships that's actually a great sponsorship yeah yeah I love that I love that a lot um also Scott I was reading a story I didn't realize this but at Augusta we were talking earlier about how uh Mark Calcovecchi had got escorted off the grounds for smuggling in a cell phone um I guess first first question is just what was your reaction to that what was uh word around Augusta I mean you're not supposed to have one I say that as someone who's allowed to have one so I it's kind of like you know you're not supposed to do it and so like the minute you pull out your phone buddy you're you're taking your your badge into your own hands and so I mean yeah it was the kind of thing that people are like damn can you believe like they got kicked out and it's like well I mean yeah I I've said all week when people come here they just kind of know how to act and I mean I get it is is it a big deal in the grand scheme of things no not really but at Augusta unless you have one of these little orange things on the back of your phone that's like a little sticker then you're not meant to have one and you know because I'm in media and I'm theoretically I mean I need one to you know watch TikTok videos and stuff like that yeah and and why and like follow along for me not rooting against yeah screw for rooting against you log on to Twitter yeah I need to know who big cats got who big cats futures are who he's rooting for things of that nature yeah that was gonna be the second part of my question which I read that you are allowed to have a phone so I'm wondering does that come with any like do you have any guilt the fact that you're allowed to be having a phone or does it do you feel awesome like I'm above everybody else here because yeah they let me have my own cell phone not above not above anyone but I mean it's even though I know I'm allowed to have it if I pull it out I still like hide it like see who Kim did when he was smoking at the players like I go somewhere you know what I mean yeah I'm not waving it around for all to see just because I don't I just I don't know I'm still afraid I'm gonna get kicked out but I don't think I am yeah Scott how did you how did you cover the Masters all week and you were in Augusta all week and then you found time to go fix Ichiro's statue because I'm a man of the people big cat and I figured like who could get up that high to fix the back only me I saw that I meant to send I meant to send something out about it but I think I was hosting the Masters and I didn't get right on it but eventually I responded but I mean we've forever we've done that bit right like we're in the world blah blah blah and I mean it's after a while I'm like maybe we should let that go but I saw that guy and I was like Jesus Christ that poor guy looks a lot like me yeah yeah he does but by the way uh yeah I mean it's also great because you have Steve next to you Steve I'm assuming is listening to this right now on Monday morning I hope so if Rory had choked would it have been the biggest choke since Duke lost that 19 point lead to Yukon and Breyland Mullins hit that shot I mean I don't want to you know take shots at my guy Duke my guy Steve and the brotherhood I would I mean the problem for Steve and for Duke is that like last year Rory won the Masters so they could just go and in Duke's case last year they had a big lead against Houston in the Final Four and they lost that so they kind of have a they got a bad trend they got a bad trend going there yeah they're actually yeah Rory and Duke are forever intertwined it's tough to see yeah I imagine like you know sometimes if big cat has a tough loss I'm here with him and you know there's usually like a I'd say like three or four hour buffer zone before I can really twist the knife too much yeah with I know it's got you might be the same way about Maryland losses I've heard is Steve the same way about Duke losses he's uh he's fascinating to me because he didn't go there and it's a thing like with him and his dad and like he kind of did it despite his dad but he he I mean you'll see it if you again social media I knew you were rooting against Rory he'll say Yukon Moneyline yes and he'll he'll tweet North Carolina Moneyline every single time that they play them and then I'll just and I just say to him this is what you do you do this thing and I call him out on and he'll just get defiant like no no that mean I just they're gonna lose it's good bet yeah yeah yeah he always does and I will say Carolina in Chapel Hill he was right and Yukon and the and the and the NCAA chairman he was right so I mean he's got he's got a little bit of uh he's got some results I suppose he can turn to but it's just what he does he becomes the you know the happiness hedge guy bet against your team blah blah blah but that's what he does but I don't I mean I don't heckle he didn't go there and I don't want to be a dick my team lost 21 games this year who am I gonna make fun of yeah there's always a there's always a grace period too like I didn't text him for a while and then once it happens I mean he didn't he actually was on a group text after Wisconsin lost a high point he did not chime in but someone else did and that person has been deaded by me so he Steve Steve knows Steve understands he's he's a good fan like that right I think that I mean if it really hurts you then just don't be like you get that your fandom there should be respect so I don't make fun I don't make fun um Scott speaking of Steve he might he's still a maybe for max's bachelor party we would like to invite you um there's a chance that Kevin Willard will be attending he also has an invite would you like to attend I'm all set I'm good you sure what if we throw in a box of big texas I'm I'm all set I hope I wish uh I wish max all the happiness in the world uh but I'm I'm I'm good you don't want to go to the sphere fuck that guy max yeah max that's max yeah I'm kidding we're good we're good I don't I don't I'm all I mean it's fine he's doing why would he want me I didn't take any shots yeah you took some shots I didn't take any shots listen if I was if I was a Maryland fan I would be pissed at Kevin Willard too I get why Maryland fans are mad all I said is that I don't care about Maryland basketball and I don't nor I don't care about you or Villanova so it's fine that that's great I I hope I hope that I don't care off that didn't say oh that's the case Max it did sound great the way you said it nothing like a good old fashioned don't care who cares less is that the truth I don't care but twice I don't I don't care twice yeah I'm louder I don't care yeah I know you guys are basically doing like the Twitter like you're in my mentions bro no this is uh well this was Steve this was Steve's doing this is the end of Dr. Strings love when I was sorry as they blow up the world love it I love it I'll put you down as a baby yeah it's exactly yeah maybe yeah maybe yeah all right maybe it's a solid maybe we'll put you on where is it where is it like a cook is it a cook out or is it like we go to Vegas you know we're going to Vegas we're doing the whole thing oh hold on now where are we staying we're staying at the win oh see now we're talking yeah I'm win may the weekend of the Kentucky Derby I love the win yeah you do that's that's that's steakhouse SW that steakhouse yes we've dined there Scott can I add in two more words that might be of interest to you I already said gaming oh spearman rhino oh no I can't I can't okay all right fair enough I say story about that so this is your story a friend of mine back in the day when I was like going a lot to Vegas making poor decisions this is your story a friend of mine was this stunt man guy he was Ben Affleck's stunt double and he was this ridiculous like motorcycle rider handsome guy it's a long story anyway he was friends legitimate friends with a dancer at the rhino and we went there and we're walking through as you do and a guy's getting a dance okay and this is around the time that I had done a commercial this is a hundred years it's 25 years ago I was doing the six o'clock sports center and the the gist of the ad was Scott we want you to host the six o'clock show and I'm like but six o'clock is dinner time so that that was the tagline six o'clock's dinner time some guy is sitting there in a chair and this woman has her boobs in his face and I'm walking by and he's literally shoves this naked woman out of his lap and says hey Scott what time is dinner time I literally I don't break I don't break stride and I'm like evidently right now and I just keep going and I just told my guy I told my guy I'm like I don't think I really can come back here and be just like walking around gen pop so I'll pass on that okay but the gaming I mean that sounds like a good time yeah we did was that the room that that uh that I met you in Super Bowl week a couple years ago yeah sat down at the blackjack table yes split a couple hands and and went down like six grand immediately will you have more drugs that you'll offer me yeah mushrooms are not that great yeah that was it was the less than subtle attempt to hand off hallucinogenics which I appreciate a lot I know I had handed off to him because I went to dinner with you Scott but I was I had I got that like Friday guilt of Super Bowl week where I was like I gotta go home so I went and took a red eye and I just handed pft all my mushrooms and then like like four hours later he sends me a selfie of him smiling ear to ear with mark davis walking by and I was like all right it's going well pft yeah I need to ask you a question pft for you for just so we had a group myself I think it was riscilla long steve big cat and he got the guilt and he had the friday night scaries and so we had a meal going and he left before like he couldn't even offer to pay no I did I'm pretty sure I did but your credit card roulette I think and your card wasn't even part of it because you left I didn't think I think you got at least half even you got a fake offer yeah I'm not I'm not saying you're old Scott but I think you're misremembering this leave after entrees I'm pretty sure I stayed the whole time we had we had we had desserts where like people were feeding each other desserts okay I had those you left you left you left after desserts the whole meal was served he ate and left I'm pretty sure I I'm pretty sure at least listen listen guy like but it goes to the big guy you you know the the credit card always goes to the big the big guy in the room at the dinner if I'm out with my you know with with the guys in the booth it's not even a question listen my feeling is if you eat with me the meals on me that's just I'm you're I'm paying but that group insisted on we're gonna do credit card um and so as far as I'm concerned your credit's good with me you didn't need I I wasn't gonna ask you to pay I'm just saying I felt like when you left before anyone even had a chance to pay I felt like maybe I don't know I think you're getting old I think I did I think I did I'm gonna have to reconfirm guy like me I know big cap pretty good at some point in the future he will do the thing where he talks to the waiter like before dinner and he gets the credit card to them so you can offer and then he'll be like it's already taken care of and then you get to get mad at him for paying yeah that's gonna happen to you next time that's the move yeah I gotta go I gotta go to the bathroom and you walk by the bathroom you just say here give me the bill and you just pay for it yeah and you come back and you're like hey when do we get the bill no we're all good we're leaving I did that in Scottsdale when we had a dinner of like 10 people I was like I'm just not even because it's like you also get to a point where it's like we're not gonna split this 10 ways we can't do that we you can't you get to a level of of you know being an adult we're adults yeah we can't do that we're adults all right Scott I know you got a flight in a second so I got I got one last question I'm sure PFT has a last question too this is a weird one though it's the roback question rhoback.com promo code take 20% off your first purchase qzips polos hoodies joggers shorts roback.com promo code take I don't even know where this came from but I'm gonna just read it it's a awl Devin Tyler he I guess he's tweeted this at me two days in a row now and it seems like a baron steam bears situation he said need help finding an ESPN commercial with SVP my friends and I have quoted this commercial for years 10 to 15 and have never been able to find it it's with SVP and we think a New York Giants wide receiver and it ends with the wide receiver screaming mama in a puddle on the field I've reached everywhere and can't find it can you please ask SVP to release the files on Sunday thank you in advance is this a real thing no this person is just in the middle of like a fever dream that's what I got I don't figure but at least mama I don't know is that a commercial just not a scott fanpel commercial I just saw it I was like I have to ask Scott now I gotta help this guy out he might like he might be going insane and we're on day two thankfully we caught it early but if we went like an entire full year till next year and it's like hey I'm looking for this commercial that doesn't exist so you're saying you never did a commercial with a Giants wide receiver no I mean I just I mean I know and I did a lot of them and I mean I remember I did six o'clock is dinner time when like that was way back in the day but a Giants wide receiver that yelled mama mama in a puddle on the field I'm really sorry this doesn't ring a bell of any kind yeah I wish I could help I wish I had yeah we and here's the thing I got nothing I'm sorry all right they're looking for another this is sports in a commercial I think we've got the start of a good one yeah Giants yeah it sounds like a hell of a script we're working with yeah um can I just mention one thing if I just want to say to all of the folks all the awls that's that that screamed big Texas at me this week it's it's my own version of being max homo with spicy meatball it has reached a level that you cannot comprehend it's all I heard for a week it's like big Texas it's incredible and I want you all to see something all right yeah we've had some bad luck oh we've had some bad luck but we we upped the FBO situation this year I don't know what I gotta do here do I hit the camera it's like a peep off no that wasn't it all right well I like I like how Scott is saying we've had some bad luck with the big Texas uh oh there it is we're back we're so back we're so back it's f6 and uh I'm I'm gonna have to purchase a big Texas for the flight and we're gonna be dining like an absolute king on the way home but I just want to say so but I I mean I kid you not I wish you all could come here and wander I mean well if they saw you it would be a different thing because they freak out because it's you but it's they're just endless hey Sunday night big you know big cap PFT you got big Texas and like yeah yeah I mean I don't know what to say but we got the big Texas I feel like that's a good way for you know like some karma to end it that they're actually yeah we're back that is nice and anyway that's that's like an impossible thing for you to like have a comeback to in a witty way like what are you gonna say if they're like hey Scott big Texas you do like the cinnamon roll let's go you pretend to eat it's not a question it's a statement right it's just hey Scott big Texas I'm like yeah can't wait you gotta keep it on you I I mostly say they're they're it's you guys know it's a bit they're kind of they're kind of dense or I'll just say delish and I'll give them like a little chef kid depends on that's good yeah yeah yeah give them yeah delish there you go I do hope these go ahead I do like Scott that you're like yeah we've had some bad luck on the big Texas and again like two years ago you came on this show and in your house was burning down which I thankfully your everything's okay now but I does trigger a memory now that that you know on this but we talk we keep it out the big Texas everything's good now yeah it was it was literally like three years ago that my phone's ringing and the house was burning to the ground and I was searching for a pastry yeah and and then and the condiments or whatever the fuck it's called the thing yeah oh yeah well little Friday at the end of the week the the hell's the call vending machine you got it jeez Christ just vending machine for the record uh I rest my case in front of the jury that that Scott doesn't have a great memory right now when it comes to paying for it sir the client couldn't come up with the name of a vending machine I didn't I didn't get it I and and maybe for all you know what maybe what we maybe I did do a commercial where mama was saying and maybe I'm just it's full on full blown dementia happening right here for all to see just gaslighting some poor listener of ours yeah that they were right about the mama commercial yeah oh percent it happened he didn't remember vending machine he's I'm pretty sure he didn't remember you can't remember what happened a minute ago I tell max tell max I'm in how about that we'll come okay maniac I love that I love that you're a baby as well and so I think we can push the big guy to come too Scott I got one more question for you because I know I know every week every time it's the masters there's somebody out there that's like yeah I could I could shoot in the oh yeah at Augusta I was thinking about it last week and I know that I'm like a little bit delusional but also I don't think I'm that delusional I think that people are showing like too much reverence for Augusta and talking about it like it's Flandersfield and in Belgium and and thousands of young men go there every year and never come home I think that if you gave me 10 tries from the tips at Augusta I could break 110 on two of those tries and I'm like an 18 handicap so I'm not good so two out of ten times you're breaking 110 yeah that's what I think I think that my drop dead score like if I if I shoot higher than 130 you can kill me from the from the championship teas that they played today yep yeah from the tips am I is that an insane thing you're playing you're playing stroke play golf you're counting every shot you're counting bonk up you have no chance all right all right how would none what did you shoot Scott I broke a hundred that's pretty good but I play but it was but it was uh it was not championship teas you play the member teas here they you're not backing it all the way up because no disrespect to you or me like we're not these guys it's it's so difficult and if you're out of position you're going to make big numbers one I mean if you put it this way a no joke being totally serious pft if you said you know what I'm just going to try to hit seven irons I'm going to hit three seven irons get on the green two putt try to make bogies okay maybe if that's your plan um but I'm telling you it's you're going to make big numbers and before you know it you're like oh I'm in like I'm really in trouble here and I'm I don't think it's possible so I I would play it in a way to try to like yeah try to hit those numbers I would have to get a seven on every par three well if I were to add 53 let's see I'm trying to think what I'd need to average per hole but basically I would try to play it so that I could break 110 and then if I'm breaking 130 then I have to basically average an eight I got to average a snowman on every hole the problem is is you're gonna end up you're gonna make double digits on a hole I mean I mean Fred couples made a nine and my McIntyre made a nine and a hole and you know they're them yeah but different you forgot what exactly like hey hey hey here's some here's some mushrooms yeah because like tell me when you was by the way that that was the ultimate like uh morning scariest when I woke up I was like I was so not cool about offering Scott mushrooms last night the it's fine everything's good yeah everything's good that was hey look that was the same night I played uh blackjack with Chris Long and he had ace five and he said I'm safe there were a lot of people there were a lot of people that were not necessarily of of the right mind I mean ace five safe safe I'm safe yeah it's safe we it's important to be safe it's important to be safe last follow-up question so like when you play Augusta because the thing that I I back my guy PFT because I want to believe in him but I would say that there's probably a chance that those greens are nothing like anything we've ever seen where it's like you think you hit one two feet away and it just keeps rolling is that fair to say right yes I will say this I didn't three putt when I played here which was a bit shocking but the problem for me was and I'm not gonna do this single worst thing that people do in golf where they take you shot by shot through the round that guy sucks oh hey I'm on seven I had a little butter cut and I was stuck in the rough and I saw I hit a seven iron I thought I got there but I'm in the bunker hey it's on the edge of the sea by the way yeah yeah hey what's here yeah please kill me uh I but I was constantly on in three so I'm two putting for bogey but I never three putted they're they're I mean they're really fast but the the main thing is you just end up in places where there's nothing you can do yeah you have to be so you can't putt really aggressively towards the hole because you'll be gone so I mean listen if you if your only goal was to break 110 but twice twice in 10 times it's just it's so much harder than you think that's that's all I could say is it's so much harder than you think I speak of Augusta with reverence I do I respect Augusta national golf course but I think it's gotten too far now we're people are doing tricks on it people are like you wouldn't break 150 all right I know some people down here I'm gonna see see if we you know broker it they're probably not gonna let you go like it's probably can't be content but maybe we can get you down here on the low and see if we make that happen I mean I mean I have to get I have to get on a plane yeah you gotta play you gotta play Scott you're the best love you Scott uh thank you for doing this the big taxes sign off and we'll see you in Vegas we'll see you in Vegas we can't wait bring your sticks we're gonna play on Sunday we got it we got we got a bunch of tea times all right hey max you're the best good luck V for Villanob on the way out
