Monday April 14th and Rory McElroy has

3:43

done it he has completed the career

3:45

grand slam he is your masters champion

3:48

for 2025 and holy shit That was

3:50

an incredible Sunday of golf. I love

3:52

that we got free golf. Yeah. That

3:55

was the perfect cap off to a

3:57

great master's. I wish we had more

3:59

free golf. I wish the playoff went

4:02

on credit to us for accurately picking

4:04

what was going to happen at the

4:06

end of this master's or saying it

4:08

was our wish. Almost exactly

4:11

spot on with Whitney. I think

4:13

the exact clip was if Rory has

4:15

a five foot put to miss to

4:17

go to a playoff will you be

4:19

rooting against him and I said yes

4:21

absolutely and I was and the

4:23

hate listen sometimes as a hater you

4:25

got to tip your cap and be

4:28

like we got bested today. The haters

4:30

got bested but I will come back

4:32

stronger than ever though. I think about

4:34

the haters. The haters are remarkably resilient.

4:37

Yeah, and I have no regrets too

4:39

because there's a golf is obviously an

4:41

interesting sport to root for because it's

4:44

not like you're rooting for your team.

4:46

There's a bunch of guys you have

4:48

guys you don't have guys I would

4:50

rather have a set of guys that

4:53

I root for and a set of

4:55

guys I hate than be like I'm

4:57

just rooting for whoever wins. I

4:59

was hoping that Justin Rose is

5:02

going to win in that playoff,

5:04

but Rory exercised every single demon

5:07

with that insanely schizophrenic

5:09

final 18 because he went,

5:11

I think he had six

5:13

birdies, three bogeys, and two

5:15

double bogeys. He choked multiple

5:17

times, including on 18, and then he

5:19

comes back in birdies 18 and

5:22

wins the Masters. So in, I

5:24

don't think I've ever seen anyone

5:26

more relieved, happy to win. a golf

5:28

tournament than Rory McElroy when

5:30

he won the Master. So

5:32

I think Rory might be

5:34

his own biggest hater. That's

5:36

the thing. That's why I'm kind of

5:39

okay with how it turned out.

5:41

Rory loves to choke himself out.

5:43

Yeah. And it's like good Rory

5:45

and bad Rory out there on

5:47

the course and it's always like

5:49

good Rory trying to fend off

5:51

bad Rory for just long enough

5:54

to make it work. Usually I

5:56

feel like bad Rory. He went

5:58

double-boggling to start. Yeah, back. Rory

6:00

he teed off on one yeah good

6:02

Rory was like fuck you I'm not

6:04

gonna let you take over my day

6:06

played pretty well then the nine happens

6:08

second night second oh fuck sorry can

6:10

we bleep that out the second nine

6:12

happens and the patrons were all going

6:14

up and down alongside Rory because I

6:16

feel like most of them were cheering

6:18

them on yeah and but then the

6:20

second you see some cracks in the

6:22

armor You get that little, there's like

6:24

almost excitement to see how is Rory

6:26

gonna choke this one out again? Yeah.

6:28

And then on 16 he hit it

6:30

in the water on maybe the easiest

6:32

shot ever and this this my friends

6:34

is why you should never lay up

6:37

because Rory tried to play it safe.

6:39

He laid up. They need a little

6:41

chip shot into the water. If he

6:43

hit that second shot with some balls.

6:45

and said, fuck it, I'm going to

6:47

try to win this thing. Then his

6:49

second shot goes in the water and

6:51

then he takes the drop and he

6:53

avoids the double bogey. Yeah. So he

6:55

had that happen. He was probably pumped

6:57

at Augusta. Doesn't allow cell phones and

6:59

cameras out there. So nobody had any

7:01

bad footage of it. Didn't have to

7:03

confiscate. Nobody had any bad footage of

7:05

it. Didn't have to confiscate. This would

7:07

be an all-timer. What was that, a

7:09

three-footer? No, five. Five or six. It

7:11

looked three. It looked three on TV.

7:13

So then I feel like people started

7:15

getting excited. I started to see another

7:17

classic Rory choke job, but then I

7:19

saw he's playing against Justin Rose in

7:21

the playoffs. And if it was a

7:23

guy that I felt strongly about, one

7:25

way or the other, I think I

7:27

would have liked to see that person

7:29

beat Rory. But with Justin Rose, it's

7:31

like, uh... Oh, we were, Hank and

7:34

I were watching, we were still, we

7:36

were still rooting against Rory. Justin Rose,

7:38

here, you should feel bad for Justin

7:40

Rose, that's his third, second place at

7:42

the Masters. The second time he's lost

7:44

in a playoff, he lost the Sergio,

7:46

Sergio, in the playoff at the Masters.

7:48

And also, Justin Rose had 10 birdies

7:50

today. 10 birdies in his final round

7:52

and he lost. And he missed, he

7:54

just missed that short put on. I

7:56

know there were so many incredible shots

7:58

both good and bad it was just

8:00

the best it was the best and

8:02

I like I so I was thinking

8:04

about it because I was really bumped

8:06

out when Rory had completed the 10th

8:08

and I think he was four shots

8:10

up. And I was like, this is

8:12

going to suck. There's going to be

8:14

no drama. He's going to go on

8:16

and win it. He didn't have to

8:18

be pushed to that limit because like

8:20

Bryson just had a horrendous day. Sorry,

8:22

Bryson D. Shambogi, as Skip Bales calls

8:24

him, had a horrendous day, was like

8:26

a total non factor after the like

8:28

the fourth hole. And I was bummed

8:31

because I wanted if Rory was going

8:33

to win the career Grand Slam I

8:35

wanted to see him push to the

8:37

brink so and he almost went the

8:39

water at 11 yeah that's when I

8:41

was like yeah the ball that was

8:43

that was when I thought the first

8:45

day it's over yeah he got it

8:47

four shot lead avoided the water but

8:49

the fact that Rory was pushed to

8:51

the brink made me even as a

8:53

hater I had to tip my cap

8:55

and be like that was incredible like

8:57

The career achievement, he waited 11 years

8:59

to win his next major. The last

9:01

one was in 2014. He was, you

9:03

know, he had the four shot lead

9:05

in 2011. And I'm just happy that

9:07

he got pushed and he choked and

9:09

he unchoked. He choked and then he

9:11

got like the shot of a lifetime

9:13

on 15 was an insane shot. So.

9:15

I can lay my sword down and

9:17

be like, you know what, Rory, you

9:19

deserve that, even though you choked like

9:21

four times, you deserve that because you

9:23

bounce back after every single one. He

9:25

could have quit at any point. He

9:28

beat all the haters, including us. He

9:30

beat all the haters, including us. He

9:32

beat everybody who's competing. He beat everybody

9:34

who's competing against, and he beat himself,

9:36

but in a good way. He beat

9:38

the bad version of himself. So he

9:40

truly conquered the world today. And for

9:42

the Rory by the world fans by

9:44

the way. You'll get all that. Jim

9:46

Vance, I know, laid the biggest jinks

9:48

of all time, waxing poetic on Rory.

9:50

Going down the 18th fairway. He didn't.

9:52

Talking about like how he grew up.

9:54

By the way, shout out Rory's. I

9:56

don't know if Rory's dad had a

9:58

future bet on him to win the

10:00

Masters like he did the the open

10:02

championship. Yeah, I think he won like

10:04

four hundred thousand dollars on that the

10:06

first time where we won. Great dad,

10:08

but yeah, Jim Dance was just, he

10:10

was laying on the deck. He unloaded

10:12

the clip. thick with like seven C's.

10:14

And they had the the graphic if

10:16

he if he didn't win that eight

10:18

that that playoff the graphic yeah him

10:20

lining up his put on the 18th

10:22

that says going for career grand slam

10:25

yeah would have lived in infamy yeah

10:27

for sure also yeah shout out shout

10:29

out skip bailus for dropping Bryson Bryson

10:31

D. Shambogi on a Sunday yeah on

10:33

a Sunday that's one of the ones

10:35

hand-up we missed that one But that's

10:37

why Skip is the man, that's why

10:39

he gets paid the big bucks. I

10:41

was getting accused of jinxing because I

10:43

was like Rory's got this. It was

10:45

right after the ball didn't go in

10:47

the water. I was like, it's just

10:49

his day. And then I realized like

10:51

you have to have those moments where

10:53

you're like, listen, you could you could

10:55

be a narcissist and think that you

10:57

can actually affect these games that you

10:59

can't and that you jinx it. Rory

11:01

went into the water officially. He tweeted

11:03

congratulations Rory for winning the 2025 Masters

11:05

and completing the career Grand Slam extraordinary

11:07

performance was I ever wrong about today

11:09

in Bryson D. Shambogee. Yeah, that was

11:11

he treated that on the twelt hole.

11:13

I think I tweeted out. Congrats to

11:15

Rory on winning the Masters at like

11:17

10 a.m. This morning. Yeah, I was

11:19

so pumped up to see a potential

11:22

Rory choke job. And he did. That's

11:24

why I'm like not as as mad.

11:26

If he had just. Waltz into a

11:28

four-stroke victory. I would have I would

11:30

have been a real salty bitch right

11:32

now He really did like he gave

11:34

us all the chokes, and then he

11:36

still won Yeah, so I'm like you

11:38

know what fair play like shake hands

11:40

good job. You gave me the moments

11:42

I needed I needed those moments where

11:44

it's like holy shit This is actually

11:46

happening again, and then he eventually gets

11:48

the the grand slam I'm I am

11:50

happy for him that he gets the

11:52

monkey off his back in that it

11:54

was a win win. Yeah, truly for

11:56

everybody involved. Also I don't know if

11:58

you saw this, but last night, uh,

12:00

my man Skip put this out. Rory

12:02

McElroy is the LeBron James of golf.

12:04

A supremely gifted nice guy without killer

12:06

instinct. Bryson DeShambo is the Jake Paul

12:08

of golf. Oh, who isn't afraid to

12:10

do it his way. Skip Hill has

12:12

just definitely walks around all day looking

12:14

at things. I mean, like, you know

12:16

what that reminds me of LeBron James,

12:19

who I hate by the golf. is

12:21

in love with LeBron James. He just

12:23

wants one mention everywhere. If LeBron would

12:25

just mention him once, wants to be

12:27

great. One time. It did feel as

12:29

a hater. Yeah, Hank, you're actually the,

12:31

the, I think if we ranked our

12:33

haterness of Rory here, you're number one.

12:35

But you, you defended him when he,

12:37

he stole the young man's cell phone.

12:39

I made one side comment, but I

12:41

remember that was because he, he thinks

12:43

he, he takes, he takes side of

12:45

the side of the players, the players.

12:47

I was rooting against them it felt

12:49

very similar to 2016 LeBron similar where

12:51

it's like you you root so hard

12:53

against them and they Accomplish you know

12:55

history and it's basically it's you're never

12:57

gonna be able to get your level

12:59

of hate up Again, no, he won

13:01

he lost the you know that warrior

13:03

series and like you know his finals

13:05

record you could always run that narrative

13:07

if Rory chokes this the narrative never

13:09

goes away now. It's like if you're

13:11

hating it's just It's a much harder

13:13

hate. Yeah, we had to retire it.

13:16

Yeah, we had to retire because Rory

13:18

no matter what he is now the

13:20

sixth all time to have the career

13:22

Grand Slam the only the second next

13:24

to Tiger Woods to do it in

13:26

the last 50 years. So like in

13:28

the modern era he's he and I

13:30

actually think I'll say this I think

13:32

Rory might go on a hot streak.

13:34

Yeah, because like that was that did

13:36

feel like the monkey off your back

13:38

Steve Young moment where the way that

13:40

went down. and the chokes and the

13:42

unchokes and the big shots and the

13:44

shot of a lifetime, Rory might just

13:46

rip off, you know, he might get

13:48

the 10 majors. I'll call it right

13:50

now. He's got nothing to lose. Yeah.

13:52

When Tiger came back and won at

13:54

Augusta, was it 2019? That felt like

13:56

he left it all out there. We

13:58

all kind of knew, like, yeah, this

14:00

is, it's incredible that this is happening,

14:02

but let's not expect Tiger to go

14:04

on one of his runs. With Rory,

14:06

he's been so close, to go on

14:08

one of his runs. With Rory, he's

14:10

been so close, so recently that he's

14:13

been so close, so recently that he's

14:15

like, yeah, he's been so close, so

14:17

recently, it came to me at all.

14:19

Yeah, I love that because Bryson probably

14:21

his brain was was was malfunctioning being

14:23

like put my PR team told me

14:25

that if I do the YouTube guys

14:27

will talk to me. Well he needs

14:29

the comment section to get his next

14:31

jokes. Yeah Bryson was I mean I

14:33

I bet on him to start the

14:35

day just because I was like I

14:37

want to bet on something and I

14:39

had no other bets going and I

14:41

was so I was but grudgingly a

14:43

Bryson rider I didn't like it. He.

14:45

I mean he just was in no

14:47

I actually think Rory kind of roped

14:49

him pretty well after the first hole

14:51

like after the first hole you're like

14:53

Bryson's gonna win this going away and

14:55

Bryson got comfortable and then just kept

14:57

on going down they did an interview

14:59

with them afterwards and they're like what

15:01

happened with with one of your missus

15:03

I forget which one it was but

15:05

he was like yeah you know the

15:07

the wind picked up after I hit

15:10

it so there's really not a lot

15:12

I can do about that and then

15:14

he like looks at it and goes

15:16

I guess I'll just have to learn

15:18

to hit the ball harder. So now

15:20

he's, that's his solution for everything. He's

15:22

going to have to drive the ball

15:24

farther. Was that the interview that they

15:26

awkwardly did during the playoff? Because there

15:28

was that one where they cut to

15:30

Bryce and we're like, we don't need

15:32

to hear from Bryson. Yeah, you're done.

15:34

He didn't finish second. That's always such

15:36

a disappointment when the last group, when

15:38

it's worse when both guys don't end

15:40

up in competition at the variant, but

15:42

when one guy just bows out, that's

15:44

just sad to watch him finish the

15:46

round of golf. Well, and, and, uh,

15:48

how do you say his name? Oburg?

15:50

Yeah. He hasn't earned the um, the

15:52

um loss. That was tough. That was

15:54

tough. He just thought that was great

15:56

for the I thought he was icing

15:58

Rory. I know I was I was

16:00

pumped about it See this is why

16:02

he's the number on I bet on

16:04

I'm gonna call him a barrack until

16:07

he wins. He doesn't deserve that I

16:09

bet on him and Hank, please remind

16:11

me to not bet on him to

16:13

not bet on him to win any

16:15

majors That's tough because because he's going

16:17

to but here's the thing did you

16:19

see how he fits today he choked

16:21

last year to yes and this wasn't

16:23

just a choke like you could have

16:25

easily been yeah he could have won

16:27

but if he had the lead the

16:29

lead outright. And that's how he ended

16:31

his round. People would be, let's say

16:33

he was in the final group today.

16:35

And that's how he finished his round

16:37

when he was in, he was in

16:39

contention to win. People would be talking

16:41

about that as maybe the biggest meltdown

16:43

outside that French guy at the open

16:45

championship. Yeah, or Greg Norman. Yeah, but

16:47

I think it would be like just

16:49

as bad, if not worse than Norman,

16:51

the way he played those last few

16:53

holes. I kept saying as a hater,

16:55

I was like, you know, Duffed one

16:57

a hundred yards in front of him.

16:59

Like what if you just hit a

17:02

tree and it just came backwards? What

17:04

Vig actually did that? Yeah, he did

17:06

that. Like he just hit it into

17:08

the bunker. Yeah. You're doing the opposite

17:10

Hank. I was I was sitting there

17:12

asking questions like I think blah blah

17:14

blah and he's like now Rory's got

17:16

this every time. It was like this

17:18

is easy for him up up up

17:20

and down. Every time. Hank also shushed

17:22

us before a T-shop. I was like,

17:24

did you just- we're talking about the

17:26

fucking draft lottery rankings? Oh yeah, that's

17:28

the other thing. We gotta figure out

17:30

how to get to the lottery. We're

17:32

in Chicago. Is it really? Yeah, when

17:34

is it? I don't know. It's like

17:36

very private, but we... That's what we

17:38

were talking about. I say I hope

17:40

the Bulls don't make the playoffs and

17:42

I can be in the lottery because

17:44

I'm convinced in my dumb brain they'll

17:46

rig it for the Bulls. I need

17:48

to be in. Yeah, I gotta be

17:50

in the audience. I gotta be in

17:52

the, I gotta be in the, I

17:54

gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta,

17:56

I've always love the Wizards, nobody. Nobody,

17:59

nobody's, maybe. That But the whole, whatever

18:01

it was, last two hours of the Masters

18:03

on Sunday? The whole round, because it

18:05

started, like the three shots swing off

18:07

the jump and then it was just...

18:09

But especially the last, when Justin Rose

18:11

started making his moves, I mean what

18:13

a fucking put on 18-2 for Justin

18:16

Rose, but it was just, it was

18:18

sports in its finest. Like I was

18:20

just sitting there smiling ear to ear, being

18:22

like no matter what happens here, it's,

18:24

you know you're watching history and end

18:27

up being real history because of his

18:29

grand slam. It was great, it was

18:31

great. And our boy Max, T12, yeah,

18:33

he gets automatically back to the Masters

18:35

next year. Max had a great weekend.

18:37

The round that he shot on Friday,

18:39

I think it was a 70 that

18:41

he shot on Friday, that he shot

18:43

on Friday, that was the best 70

18:46

that you'll ever see in your life.

18:48

He was scrambling all day, somehow made

18:50

it work. I'm very happy for him.

18:52

I'm also very happy that JT didn't

18:54

do that great. Yeah, because if JT

18:56

had finished like top like top five.

18:58

His caddy is Max's old cat that

19:01

broke up with him. Well, just for

19:03

this week. Yeah, just for this, but

19:05

still, but still, Max doesn't need that.

19:07

No, no, no, Max, Max might be

19:10

back. This might be the start of

19:12

the championship DVD. Got

19:14

him pumped up. He's a superstar.

19:16

What else? Oh, I was. I think

19:18

we all we weren't talking about it

19:20

before but I I said before the

19:22

whole Sunday started and I think you'll

19:24

agree with me PFD like when you're

19:26

looking at who could win this patch

19:28

grieve somehow like winning it would have

19:30

been hilarious and he actually he didn't

19:32

that equal 15 yeah I know the

19:34

eagle that you hold out hold out yeah

19:36

he ended up what like third or no

19:39

he had a he had a birdie put

19:41

on 15 that he three putted like he

19:43

missed the miss the miss the par pot

19:45

which is two shots which Did you guys

19:47

think? Scotty was a little extra icy to

19:49

Rory in the Butler cabin? I didn't sense

19:52

that. I sense Scotty being, not like in

19:54

a, fuck you way more in a, I'm the best

19:56

golfer in the world, I should be

19:58

winning this every year way. He's pissed off

20:00

at himself. Yeah, he's gonna go on

20:03

a, fuck you tour, because he, I

20:05

mean, he had, Saturday was what did

20:07

him in, what he ended up finishing

20:09

fourth, and he just couldn't, he could

20:11

not get it going on Saturday. He's

20:13

also gonna be the new narrative guy.

20:15

He might just be a master's merchant.

20:17

He's got to win a major that's

20:20

not. The Masters. Oh, you know, I'm

20:22

thinking like, oh, you're just looking for

20:24

the new narratives? I'm thinking Rory's that,

20:26

that was the narrative for a long

20:28

time. Not only at the Masters, but

20:30

10 years at majors, you know, he

20:32

kind of choked at the, at the

20:35

open a few years ago. Last year

20:37

at the US Open, interesting. That's a

20:39

big narrative that's gone now. And Scotty

20:41

Shefler, is the best in the world.

20:43

People compared to Tiger Tiger. These are

20:45

his, you know, you know, you know,

20:47

you know, you know, finishes in majors

20:50

in majors in his last 10 majors

20:52

in his last 10 majors, it's, it's,

20:54

it's, it's, it's, it's, it's not the,

20:56

it's not the, it's not the, it's

20:58

not the, it's not the, it's not

21:00

the, it's not the greatest. It's not

21:02

the greatest. It's not the greatest. It's

21:05

not the greatest. I like it too.

21:07

I'm just I feel bad like it's

21:09

like someone's got to take up that

21:11

torch and he's the best like you're

21:13

right. That's gonna be tied for a

21:15

second in the PGA two years ago

21:17

in the US Open three years ago,

21:19

but still take narrative he's a narrative

21:22

finder. I like Scotty too. I'm just

21:24

I feel bad like it's like someone's

21:26

got to take up that torch and

21:28

he's he's the number one he's the

21:30

number one he's a number one golfer.

21:32

You get accused of like, hey, why

21:34

are you rooting against Rory? It's like,

21:37

I just can't, I have to, I

21:39

have to pick my sides and golf.

21:41

I can't be whoever wins. I'm just

21:43

gonna be like, I'm so happy for

21:45

that. Yeah, it's only, it's more fun

21:47

if you have your side. It's a

21:49

weird sports like this and I guess

21:52

auto racing is kind of similar, where

21:54

you just like pick a guy and

21:56

you're like, I enjoy rooting for that

21:58

one person. And then if they have

22:00

any sort of like. Any semblance of

22:02

beef with anybody else? Yeah, then that

22:04

guy is now your mortal enemy because

22:07

you like rooting for that other human

22:09

I know that I know that the

22:11

beef has been squashed Squashed with Bryson,

22:13

but I did feel dirty betting on

22:15

him. Yeah, you should like I just

22:17

I I don't really want to do

22:19

this I don't want to be a

22:22

brighter. I generally would just root for

22:24

I had just enjoyed I guess this

22:26

is a little sick like Tyler Chokes

22:28

and like comebacks. Yeah, right I'd rather

22:30

I want I want something to happen

22:32

if we're gonna if I'm gonna be

22:34

invested I don't I don't care that

22:36

much about the players per se except

22:39

for a few and But yeah, reading

22:41

as Roy's you care about the sport

22:43

Yeah, well you care about the narratives

22:45

and the course, I'd like to be

22:47

entertained. I'm here to be entertained. You

22:49

are a journalist at heart. Who won

22:51

the journalist lottery? Do you know that?

22:54

I don't know. Let's see I did

22:56

see um There was Kyle Porter who

22:58

actually like and he does a good

23:00

job writing about golf He had one

23:02

of those tweets this morning. I was

23:04

like dude, you don't really have to

23:06

say all this What I know I

23:09

know it's before the round PFT said

23:11

I'm completely fine if you want to

23:13

call me head of the glaze committee

23:15

or whatever when it comes to worry

23:17

totally get it completely understand I've seen

23:19

every common imaginable and a lot I

23:21

wish I hadn't we all probably take

23:24

it too far at times me possibly

23:26

most of all it is strange to

23:28

cover a generational athlete like this though

23:30

someone who could go down as one

23:32

of the 10 to 15 best ever

23:34

in his 150 year old sport someone

23:36

who also lets you into humanity at

23:39

times both publicly and privately I like

23:41

Roy personally of course but I also

23:43

think his golf and his life bring

23:45

out the best in me the best

23:47

of my writing and my thinking about

23:49

this stupid ridiculous game Certainly is a

23:51

rabbit hole that you can go too

23:53

far down and find yourself in too

23:56

deep. You might be there. But I

23:58

would always rather err on the side

24:00

on that side than on the side

24:02

of holding back my writing about a

24:04

sport I've truly grown to love. But

24:06

yeah saying he brings Rory's play brings

24:08

out the best in me as a

24:11

writer. I love that's good. Iron Sharp

24:13

Committee Chairman of the Head of the

24:15

Glaze Committee. So I can't find out

24:17

who won the... the lottery but Jay

24:19

Busby said they've just announced the winners

24:21

of the Masters Media Lottery and you're

24:23

going to be getting some good here's

24:26

how I played Augusta Stories on Tuesday.

24:28

So a little teaser. Apparently it's worthy

24:30

worthy Selections this year. I know J.J.

24:32

Watts playing. He is he treated that.

24:34

He's like I got lucky enough to

24:36

be able to play on Monday. It's

24:38

Ken Griffey Jr. I don't know. Did

24:41

you see that? That'd be pretty cool.

24:43

Yeah, I mean, he's a professional photographer.

24:45

I suppose like this is the greatest

24:47

way to backdoor your way into a

24:49

tee time. He rocks Ken Griffey Jr.

24:51

Yeah. I mean Randy Johnson. Yeah, big,

24:53

big, big photogs. Did you see what

24:55

many people are saying might have spurned?

24:58

Oh, the reckoning? Oh, no, I was,

25:00

I was gonna say he's reading a

25:02

book. Yeah, yeah, the reckoning. Oh, that's

25:04

the name of the book. Yeah, yeah.

25:06

I liked it better when they just

25:08

reported that he was reading a book.

25:10

Oh, no, it's way better. Okay. So

25:13

it's the reckoning. Here's the first page.

25:15

Here's the first page. This is going

25:17

to be part of my Monday reading.

25:19

I have a different one for us,

25:21

but this is the start of the

25:23

reckoning. Pete Banning awoke before sunrise and

25:25

had no thoughts of going back to

25:28

sleep. For a long time he lay

25:30

in the center of his bed, stared

25:32

at the dark ceiling and asked himself

25:34

for the thousandth time if he had

25:36

the courage. Finally, as the first trace

25:38

of dawn peek through a window, he

25:40

accepted the solemn reality that it was

25:43

time for the killing. The need for

25:45

it had become so overwhelming that he

25:47

could not continue with his daily routines,

25:49

he could not remain the man he

25:51

was until the deed was done. Its

25:53

planning was simple, yet difficult to imagine.

25:55

Its aftershocks would rattle on for decades

25:58

and change the lives of those he

26:00

loved and many of those he didn't.

26:02

That's the start of the book. It's

26:04

time for the killing. I like it.

26:06

I also like that John Grisham, all

26:08

of his books, are just the... and

26:10

then a random word. Yeah. He's like,

26:12

okay, I've got a good idea for

26:15

the next one. It's going to start

26:17

with the, and then he flips a

26:19

dictionary and stops on where he's like,

26:21

okay, the client. Yeah, the fountainhead is

26:23

that one? The fountainhead, is that one?

26:25

The fountain, yeah, that's also John Grisham.

26:27

Other notes from the Masters, shout out

26:30

Nick Dunlap, that was, he actually gets

26:32

my green jacket. If we're giving out

26:34

a personal green jacket, and basically the

26:36

worst round you could possibly shoot had

26:38

the yips and came back and shot

26:40

at 71 on Friday without could it

26:42

easily withdrew. He was like dropping his

26:45

his driver on in the T-box constantly

26:47

he's my personal green jacket. So I

26:49

was looking up the worst rounds ever

26:51

shot at Augusta the worst round ever

26:53

shot technically never happened at Augusta because

26:55

the guy that shot it Billy Casper

26:57

He shot in 2005. He shot 106

27:00

at Augusta. But in all-time baller move,

27:02

he finishes and refuses to sign a

27:04

scorecard. I love that. So it doesn't

27:06

officially count. I love that. So the

27:08

106 that he shot is not the

27:10

worst round ever shot there. Okay. That's

27:12

very smart of him. Also, another note

27:15

from Augusta, which is I think very

27:17

important, probably the most important thing that

27:19

happened for everyone who's watching. There's a

27:21

huge collectible difference between Rory winning and

27:23

Rose winning. Masters 2025 flags would not

27:25

sell out if Rose won, badge would

27:27

be half as collectible. That's what I

27:29

thought of immediately when it happened. The

27:32

badge. Half as collectible. I was from

27:34

Darren Ravell. He had an all-timer. Let

27:36

me pull this up real quick. Half

27:38

his coin. He's been on one this

27:40

weekend. This was sent to me by

27:42

our good friend and kickoff ruin or

27:44

Sam Swartz. Should items, this was a

27:47

picture of gloves worn in the Frozen

27:49

Four this weekend. The person wore the

27:51

gloves scored. Shout out Western Michigan, by

27:53

the way. Maction. Incredible. Incredible story. One

27:55

going away against B. U on Saturday

27:57

night. So this guy scored four goals.

27:59

Tony Shossler, by the way, shout out,

28:02

said, Darren Revel says, should items like

28:04

this go to the Hall of Fame

28:06

in an era when collectibles are becoming

28:08

more increasingly valuable? They sent the gloves

28:10

to the Hall of Fame and Darren

28:12

saying, why are these going? Why should

28:14

anyone be able to enjoy these when

28:17

one person can pay for? the right

28:19

to only have them enjoy. Yeah, why

28:21

should the whole world be able to

28:23

go visit these gloves and see history

28:25

instead of just one privately wealthy person

28:27

be able to put it in their

28:29

house? Yeah, why can't? Hey, check out

28:31

these gloves. So why is this in

28:34

the Hockey Hall of Fame when I

28:36

could buy it and then put it

28:38

in my closet for 60 years? Makes

28:40

a lot more sense how he had

28:42

that MLK memorabilia. More increasingly valuable is

28:44

also a great sentence. The other the

28:46

other story I had maybe all-time vibes

28:49

guy also maybe something you need to

28:51

work towards Hank the marker I didn't

28:53

realize they changed their mark so Ed

28:55

Augusta if there's an odd number of

28:57

guys that make the cut there the

28:59

last pairing the last person plays with

29:01

a marker who's just a member at

29:04

Augusta this person plays with them plays

29:06

around with them doesn't keep their score

29:08

also picks up anything within eight feet

29:10

but it's a really good really really

29:12

good golfer. The guy's name is Michael

29:14

McDermott, so I think they had one

29:16

marker for like 20 years. This guy

29:19

took over a couple years ago. Might

29:21

be an all-time vibes guy, so he

29:23

played with Tom Kim on the third

29:25

round. Tom Kim had his best round

29:27

of the weekend, or of the week,

29:29

shot a 72. with Michael McDermott, the

29:31

marker. So that's got to be the

29:34

coolest thing. We were talking about the

29:36

e-bug with Whitney. The fact that there's

29:38

a guy who gets to go play

29:40

Sunday pins in front of the crowd

29:42

is one of the coolest things ever.

29:44

So also with this guy, he doesn't

29:46

have the score, like you said. he

29:48

is not allowed to speak to the

29:51

media yep and he does not get

29:53

his name on the back of the

29:55

caddy yep so this the guy Michael

29:57

what's name Michael McDermott he's also apparently

29:59

the the CEO of a financial company

30:01

yeah and he's a member at Pine

30:03

Valley Marian and August I looked it

30:06

up Pine Valley is Marian is the

30:08

fifth best private club in the country

30:10

Pine Valley 6th. So imagine like this

30:12

guy going to Pine Valley and being

30:14

like yeah this actually is my least

30:16

favorite private club because he's also a

30:18

member of Augusta what if he shot

30:21

like he's like the greatest networker of

30:23

all time that's what I was like

30:25

right apparently he's an incredible golfer how

30:27

there's plenty there's plenty of incredible golf

30:29

but still there's plenty of incredible golfers

30:31

how do you know why get access

30:33

to all these you have to be

30:36

to let alone then be kind of

30:38

someone a little bit anonymous and a

30:40

really good golfer. But oh my god.

30:42

I mean that's the coolest. He must

30:44

be he must be the most nervous

30:46

person on on Friday. Right. Just praying

30:48

for an odd number. Right. And you

30:51

also like you know they have to

30:53

do it this way because if they

30:55

just got a random person that person

30:57

would talk to the media if it's

30:59

an Augusta member that that guy's never

31:01

ever going to say a word to

31:03

the media about anything. because he doesn't

31:05

want to give up his privilege. What

31:08

if he shot like a 66, 67?

31:10

He two rounds are like, what if

31:12

he would have made the cut? He

31:14

beat, there's stories, the previous one beat

31:16

guys sometimes. Like there was, I think

31:18

there was a story about a marker

31:20

beating, was Jeff Knox, the previous one,

31:23

beat guys sometimes. Like there was, I

31:25

think there was a story about a

31:27

marker beating, was pissed, was pissed, and

31:29

Rory, and Rory, mad about it. And

31:31

Rory, and Rory, and Rory was mad

31:33

about it. Michael would later say that

31:35

Knox was the best I've ever seen

31:38

on Augustus Greens Ready Garcia finished one

31:40

over 73 Knox finished 72 Garcia refused

31:42

to shake Knox's hand after the round

31:44

that's And like Tiger Woods would go

31:46

like this guy was this was the

31:48

marker that I heard the story about

31:50

this week like Tiger would go to

31:53

this guy before every Like Master's tournament

31:55

and like ask him about how the

31:57

Greens like yeah, how they are at

31:59

that time like this guy is such

32:01

a legend that guy had just if

32:03

you're the marker at Augusta you are

32:05

just part of the golf Right. Yeah.

32:07

I have a question about Augusta Hank.

32:10

Did they take a bunch of trees

32:12

out? Isn't that a story? Hurricane. Yeah,

32:14

the hurricane made it a lot easier.

32:16

Did it? At 10. I feel like

32:18

there were times where Rory or anyone

32:20

would hit it into the woods and

32:22

then they'd go to Dottie who's phenomenal

32:25

by the way. Dottie's like so soothing.

32:27

They'd be like, hey Dottie, what do

32:29

you see? She'd be like. He's got

32:31

a perfect look. Not much. Like he

32:33

can just go right over this tower.

32:35

Mm-hmm. He's got no problem. There's no

32:37

trees. Not A-baric. A-baric. They gotta get

32:40

more trees in there. Fucking tree magnet.

32:42

I just want a shot tracer as

32:44

part of it too. The shot tracer,

32:46

like, initially, will go right? And you're

32:48

like, initially, will go right? And you're

32:50

like, initially, will go right? On 10.

32:52

That's the guys who are cut in

32:55

the corner. Yeah, it was it was

32:57

ridiculous there. You could see where there

32:59

should be trees. Yeah, get those trees

33:01

back in there. Get those trees back

33:03

in there. Incredible golf tournament though. Happy

33:05

for Rory, but grudgingly. I mean, that

33:07

show of emotion after he did it,

33:10

that was as genuine and as cool

33:12

as it gets. Even even my cold

33:14

hater heart could be like, man, the

33:16

amount of dream come true. Like the

33:18

relief though, there's, it's different than a

33:20

guy winning. And, you know, if Roy

33:22

had won in 2011, it would have

33:24

been nothing like that. Winning now, the

33:27

relief that he has that he finally

33:29

did it, because if he had spent

33:31

his entire career being the guy who

33:33

was one short of the career grand

33:35

slam, it would have haunted him. So

33:37

I, yeah, I'm happy for him. I

33:39

know, I know that sounds pussy, because

33:42

we were haters. Well, no, I mean,

33:44

it was fun. We saw him choke,

33:46

he choked, he choked, that was good.

33:48

I'm sad for my hate. Yeah, that

33:50

makes sense. My hate is it's over.

33:52

He extinguished it. Yeah, he vanquished it.

33:54

What was the genesis of your hate

33:57

towards Roy? I think I'm done with

33:59

live, although some of, you know, they

34:01

did. You can't say that. Okay, but

34:03

our boys. I mean, Brooks, Max, Camp Smith,

34:05

my three favorite golfers in Brooks and Camp

34:07

Smith, that hurt a lot. But it was the

34:09

Live stuff. And then even like the US Open, No.

34:11

But it was the Live stuff. And even like the

34:14

US Live stuff. And even like the US Live stuff.

34:16

And even like the US Live stuff. And even like

34:18

the Live stuff. And even like the Live stuff.

34:20

It was the Live stuff. It was the Live

34:22

stuff. It was the Live stuff. But even. It was

34:24

the Live stuff. But even. It was the Live stuff.

34:27

It was the Live stuff. It was the Live

34:29

stuff. It was the Live stuff. a little different

34:31

LeBron but that open versus Camp Smith

34:33

was like such a fun Sunday

34:35

viewing hating experience where everyone was

34:37

rooting for him he had so

34:40

many pots and he just left

34:42

everything so short And then it happened again

34:44

against Bryson like that it was the US

34:46

open was shocking. Yeah, he was those three-footers

34:48

So that was probably the genesis mine was

34:50

the rider cup hat gate member the fight

34:52

in the in the parking lot I just

34:54

got very you know USA. Oh fuck that

34:57

it is tough when you kind of like

34:59

a guy and then you have to compete

35:01

against him in the rider cup right like

35:03

fuck this guy then forever he's got that

35:05

that state like I I rooted against him

35:07

that one time and I kind of liked

35:09

it. Right. And I kind of want to

35:11

get doing it. Yeah, because I wasn't a,

35:13

I'm not a natural Rory hater,

35:15

like I didn't have really a

35:17

strong opinion about him for

35:20

whatever the first, I don't know,

35:22

10 years of his career, then

35:24

rider cup, then the cell phone,

35:26

then just some of the media

35:28

stuff to live, the wheels out,

35:30

yeah, when he sped off, which

35:32

actually loved, because it was just

35:34

great how upset everyone was, but

35:36

yeah. Are you going to unlive yourself?

35:38

Don't do it. For the masters, yes.

35:40

I will not. I'm done with thinking that,

35:42

you know, the live guys can make it

35:44

happen. Do you think there's a- I'm going

35:47

to do it next year then. Good luck.

35:49

Hater Max. I mean, a hater void. But

35:51

it would be right. Like if the year

35:53

that you stop doing it. Yeah. Do you

35:56

think you don't want to miss out on

35:58

that opportunity? There's anything to be. said with

36:00

the live guys did really well

36:02

the first year that live happened

36:04

and they competed in all these

36:06

majors they did really well and

36:08

then as the years have gone

36:10

36:13

36:15

39:21

out cell blue coffee.com or battle

39:24

bars. All right. NBA playoffs are

39:26

here. We have our seating. The

39:28

Cavs are the one seed, they're

39:30

going to play the winner of

39:32

the Magic, sorry, the winner of

39:34

Magic Hawks loser versus Heat Bulls

39:36

winner. I hate the plane. I

39:38

hate the plane. Celtics of the

39:40

two seed, they're going to play

39:42

the winner of Magic Hawks. Nick's

39:44

versus Pistons, Pacers versus Bucks, that's

39:46

the East. The West is Thunderverse,

39:48

the Warriors, Grizzlies, Loser versus the

39:50

King's Magic winner. Again, I hate

39:52

the playing. Rockets of the two

39:54

seed versus the Warriors, Grizzlies winner.

39:56

Three seed is Lakers, T-Woles, four

39:58

seed is Nuggets, clippers. We had

40:01

crazy dramas going on during the

40:03

Masters. The Warriors were trying to

40:05

not be in the play and

40:07

they lost an overtime to the

40:09

clippers. Thoughts boys. I'm excited for

40:11

some playoffs. I do not like

40:13

the play-in because I've said from

40:15

the beginning it is a ploy

40:17

for the Cherry Rhine store type

40:19

owners to Convince their fan base

40:21

that they've made it to the

40:23

playoffs when they have not I

40:25

Might like the play-in game. I

40:27

like watching tournament for for one

40:29

exclusive reason this postseason. Yeah That's

40:31

if the if the Mavericks go

40:33

in a little run. Yeah, that

40:35

would be very very funny to

40:37

see but outside of that no

40:40

I don't I don't like the

40:42

plane tournament sucks like eight seeds

40:44

give it to us eight seeds

40:46

don't break the nine and the

40:48

ten into it the regular seasons

40:50

long we've got a big enough

40:52

sample size we introduced this just

40:54

so that we could try to

40:56

get superstars in there were playing

40:58

on shitty teams it sucks I

41:00

don't I don't like it at

41:02

all it's think about this I

41:04

know obviously the Warriors can win

41:06

and get in But the Warriors

41:08

are 48 and 34. And there's

41:10

a world where the Mavericks at

41:12

39 and 43 could get in

41:14

over a 48 and 34 team.

41:16

You played 82 games. It's stupid.

41:19

And again, I'm personally biased because

41:21

Jerry Rinesorf uses the bulls being,

41:23

I think this is like the

41:25

sixth straight year that we've been

41:27

in the playing game. It makes

41:29

the regular season mean even less,

41:31

which is hard to do for

41:33

the NBA. But somehow you managed

41:35

to water it down a little

41:37

bit more. It'd be so funny

41:39

though if the Mavericks won't run.

41:41

That's in the name of hilarity

41:43

and just like chaos. That's what

41:45

I'm rooting for. NBA should have

41:47

had the schedule today tomorrow. Yes.

41:49

like insane insane to go up

41:51

against the masters it's so stupid

41:53

so Hank so we're gonna do

41:56

a big preview probably on Friday

41:58

maybe get windy on or a

42:00

silo hank you are wanting who

42:02

the magic or the hawks I'm

42:04

one in the hawks okay so

42:06

wow we've been scared of the

42:08

magic we have as bad a

42:10

record against the magic as it

42:12

might be the worst record we

42:14

have in the last like three

42:16

years against any team really yeah

42:18

interesting I think we're like two

42:20

and five or three and six

42:22

or something like last nine are

42:24

you more scared of the magic

42:26

than you are the calves Possibly,

42:29

yeah. You disrespect the Cavs. I'm

42:31

not worried about the Cavs. Yeah.

42:33

The Bulls could beat the Cavs.

42:35

You keep saying that and you're

42:37

just, you're wrong, that means you're

42:39

scared of the Cavs. Like that

42:41

actually says that you're scared of

42:43

the Cavs because you keep saying

42:45

I want the Bulls to beat

42:47

the Cavs. I think it's half

42:49

Hank disrespecting the Cavs. Hank hated

42:51

the cabs and then the last

42:53

is Hank being like half scared

42:55

of the cabs. Yeah, three halves

42:57

to Hank's hatred. I'm very excited

42:59

for the West playoffs so because

43:01

the Lakers and T-Woe is gonna

43:03

be great. T-Woe's been playing well

43:05

down the stretch. I mean, I

43:07

don't know where the Warriors like

43:09

rockets, old heads versus new guys.

43:11

Yeah, it's gonna be fun. Well,

43:13

a doker revenge. Yeah, yeah. And

43:15

then John Moran, the Grizzlies. I

43:17

don't know. I want John to

43:19

keep playing more because I want

43:21

him to keep finding different ways

43:23

to pull out weapons, fake weapons,

43:25

like throwing grenades at the crowd.

43:27

I want him to turn like

43:30

a nuclear weapon key. He has

43:32

to get a teammate to help

43:34

him do that one. I want

43:36

this to keep getting more and

43:38

more violent and then John just

43:40

being like, fuck it, fine me,

43:42

do whatever you want to. Nobody's

43:44

talking about the rockets. Nobody's talked

43:46

about the rockets all year. Rockets

43:48

are good. Should we put some

43:50

respect on the rockets? Well, the

43:52

rockets are like the Thunder last

43:54

year. You could just say they're

43:56

really good, but they got to

43:58

go through it once. I would

44:00

like to officially put some part

44:02

of my take respect on the

44:04

Houston Rockies. Can we do that?

44:06

Respect done. They got the LeBron

44:08

stop. Yeah, respect on the rockets,

44:10

but I just think that they're

44:12

they're too young. Five-year playoff drought.

44:14

Done. Gone. James Harden, no longer

44:16

on the team, not walking through

44:18

that door. But James... New guys.

44:20

E-May. Yeah, good coach. E-May is

44:22

a very good coach. Still don't

44:24

know what he did. Yeah, that's

44:26

kind of weird. But he's a

44:28

good coach. The clippers. We should...

44:30

The clippers scare me as a

44:32

nuggets fair weather fan. Anytime. you

44:34

have to be scared of the

44:36

clippers because he still will like

44:38

the clippers could absolutely beat the

44:40

nuggets and then Kauai and then

44:42

we'll get a story that Kauai

44:44

actually is hurt and he's out

44:46

for the rest of the playoffs

44:48

and they'll lose. And then some

44:50

team will give him 200 million.

44:52

By the way, speaking the nuggets,

44:54

so Friday night, Yokich sealed a

44:56

triple double for the season. Third

44:58

time ever that's happened, Oscar Robinson,

45:00

Russell Westbrook, Nicole Yoakage for averaging

45:02

a triple double in a season.

45:04

Pretty crazy. He's not going to

45:06

win MVP this year, partially because

45:08

SGA has been incredible, but also

45:10

little voter fatigue. Does anyone want

45:12

to guess what Yoakish, his response

45:14

to averaging a triple double for

45:16

the year was after the game?

45:18

Is good. Pretty close. Okay. He

45:20

said it's nice. I think I

45:22

didn't do that before. I don't

45:24

know. I don't know what to

45:26

say. It's good. There we go.

45:28

It's perfect. I think I didn't

45:30

do that before. He's the fucking

45:32

best. Yeah, no. Like remember when

45:35

Russell Westford did it? Yeah. Remember

45:37

when Russell Westford did it? It

45:39

was like, was crashing every free

45:41

throw to get the rebounds and

45:43

everything. And yoga's just like, it's

45:45

good. The Westbrook series from the

45:47

nuggets to the clippers. I feel

45:49

like the team that used to

45:51

have Westbrook on their roster usually

45:53

wins these types of series. I

45:55

might just be making that up.

45:57

It might be based on vibes

45:59

but I feel like getting to

46:01

play against him every night is

46:03

good for the team that used to have

46:05

him because they're constantly being reminded like thank

46:07

God this guy's not on a team anymore

46:09

yeah right yeah he's kind of been a

46:11

little bit of a different player for the

46:14

Nuggets maybe he can just go revenge mode

46:16

he could go but that's what I'm saying

46:18

yes not good when he goes revenge mode

46:20

that's actually it's bad yeah do we have

46:22

any thoughts on LeBron shirtless warming warming up

46:25

Isaiah Thomas was in tears I think

46:27

it's disrespectful respectful to the game forever

46:29

I know I loved how upset Isaiah

46:31

Thomas was. The energy league. He was

46:34

so mad. He was so, so mad about

46:36

it. I don't know if you

46:38

can find the clip. Sweatty.

46:40

Nipples protruding, disgusting. It was

46:42

like an empty arena. And

46:44

Isaiah Thomas was just, he was

46:47

gonna cry. He might be going through

46:49

some body image issues of his own.

46:51

Who? Isaiah Thomas. Yeah. The fact that

46:53

he freaked up by seeing this... Get

46:55

this jacked shirtless guy off my screen.

46:57

Yeah, the fact that he gets that

46:59

upset by seeing another man take his

47:02

clothes off is true. Pretty suspect. Yeah,

47:04

it's suspect. Yeah, we did actually get

47:06

to the bottom of PFT's thing with

47:08

the... We did? Yeah, he was jerking

47:10

off in the guy's face. Oh, apparently

47:12

that's gay. And guys can't jack off.

47:14

That dude's not... He told us after

47:17

we stopped recording, he's like, oh I

47:19

forgot, I was jerking off in his face.

47:21

That dude has never played a team sport.

47:23

If he's getting upset about having a guy

47:25

jack off in his face in the locker

47:27

room. Come on man. All right you

47:30

play it, play it Max. Shirts

47:32

and skins is what they're doing

47:34

now. I just told me 100%

47:36

object to this and I was

47:38

a GM of coach. Me too.

47:41

I would never let one of

47:43

my players walk out on the

47:45

floor looking like this. I mean

47:47

we are professional NBA league.

47:49

We ain't, we ain't summer

47:51

league. We ain't, we, you know,

47:54

at the YMCA league. I

47:56

think coaches gotta go back

47:58

to suits. Absolutely. Oh, he

48:00

almost swore. I just think, I just

48:02

think, I just think the professionalism in

48:05

our NBA league has diminished so much.

48:07

And, and I, look, I like LeBron.

48:09

I'm a fan of him. That means

48:11

he hates LeBron. But to walk out

48:14

on the floor before a game with

48:16

no shirt on and shoot. Come on

48:18

man, this, what are we at? What

48:20

are we doing? Now, if you want

48:23

to, Adam Silve, if you want to

48:25

find somebody, find that. Find that. I'm

48:27

smoking by the Hall of Fame. I

48:29

love his whole thing because he, I

48:32

think he's in love with LeBron because

48:34

he's like to see a man out

48:36

there on the court, no shirt off.

48:38

It's also funny working out looking all

48:41

strong the only the only word that

48:43

comes to my mind is fine yeah

48:45

fine fine that I say it's ass

48:48

yeah it's also funny that I say

48:50

it's obviously if I were the GM

48:52

or the coach like you were both

48:54

yeah and you and you were you

48:57

were fired for for bad reasons yeah

48:59

really bad reason I would say bad

49:01

things but good reason I would say

49:03

which pick out which do you think

49:06

is less professional working out shirtless yeah

49:08

or sexually harassing your entire staff yeah

49:10

it's now man LeBron should put a

49:12

shirt on fine because that's how sexual

49:15

harassment starts that's true broadwalk he's sexually

49:17

harassing Isaiah Thomas maybe that's why Isaiah

49:19

Thomas had such a reaction he's like

49:22

if I were the GM I'd sexually

49:24

arrest him right now yes so you

49:26

can then they'd fire me you gotta

49:28

stop that problem before it starts because

49:31

some somebody's gonna fuck him oh man

49:33

was so funny He was so, oh

49:35

yeah, uh, Skip Ellis obviously agreed with

49:37

him. Loved it, loved it. That Isaiah

49:40

Thomas on NBA TV called out LeBron,

49:42

said he should be fine for warming

49:44

up shirtless, took guts to spit. true.

49:46

Isaiah has guts and you certainly can't

49:49

dismiss Isaiah has as just another old

49:51

school Jordan guy. That is true. He

49:53

does hate Michael Jordan. He hates Michael

49:56

Jordan. Yeah, but I mean he's he's

49:58

definitely old school. Yeah. Oh, but I

50:00

love the part where Isaiah Thomas says,

50:02

and I like LeBron because I've said

50:05

the same thing. I know that as

50:07

a hater when you're like, I mean

50:09

I just did it when I was

50:11

like I was happy for Rory. That's

50:14

not real. You just say that. That's

50:16

a real leader. Also in Skip's mind,

50:18

the only reason that you could hate

50:20

LeBron is if you're just supremely in

50:23

love with Michael Jordan. Yes, that's why

50:25

he's like, I love this. It's it's

50:27

it's it's as binary as it gets.

50:30

Yeah. What do you think about the

50:32

Knicks? They're they're not going to go

50:34

anywhere. I think they'll win a series.

50:36

They could lose the Pistons. Nick's fans

50:39

I feel like are down bad right

50:41

now on this team. You're not very

50:43

happy. I they're like still it does

50:45

feel like they're still away from the

50:48

Celtics in the Cavs right far away

50:50

yeah we also at San Van Gundy

50:52

did you see that he called out

50:54

Philly and New York he said fair

50:57

weather fans He said they're passionate someone

50:59

asked him like what do you think

51:01

about the love affair with the Knicks

51:04

and the fans and their team He

51:06

said well, they're passionate love affair. I

51:08

don't know love affair when they're playing

51:10

well and hate affair when they're not

51:13

playing well and hate affair when they're

51:15

not playing well The Knicks fans and

51:17

the Philly fans they're in front-running fans.

51:19

They're in love with their team when

51:22

they things are going well, but they'll

51:24

boo their team off the floor when

51:26

they're not playing well. That's not a

51:28

crowd Pussy. Yeah, I couldn't disagree more

51:31

living in New York for whatever we

51:33

did six seven years Knicks fans love

51:35

their team. They just fucking Ex they

51:37

want them to be good and their

51:40

fans were nowhere to be found until

51:42

the Bing Bong team They always sold

51:44

out an MSG. Yeah, but like they

51:47

weren't vocal like they was once those

51:49

Bing Bong uh... side talk or whatever

51:51

videos are coming out i think that's

51:53

very passionate that was like two years

51:56

before we left before that they were

51:58

nowhere to be found i have a

52:00

there's also difference between the nix fans

52:02

that can afford tickets to go to

52:05

every nix game and then the average

52:07

nix fan and then the average nix

52:09

fan i think it's fans are very

52:11

past they really care also what stand

52:14

vangotti is describing that's just fans yeah

52:16

like what what what what is it

52:18

what would be a good sports town

52:21

then a team that loves their shitty

52:23

shitty shitty sine Even when there's yeah,

52:25

Oklahoma City So they still put on

52:27

the shirt. They still put on the

52:30

shirt They're good. Yeah, I know but

52:32

I'm saying like in years when they

52:34

haven't been good They've still put on

52:36

the shirt, but that's all they got

52:39

I know that's the only thing they

52:41

have in Oklahoma City if there's other

52:43

sports like if the Sixers who are

52:45

30 games under 500 in March Was

52:48

that true? I don't know. I hope

52:50

so Would you rather go to that

52:52

game or the Phillies that are that

52:55

are that are that are? Gonna be

52:57

competing competing for the World Series. Sounds

52:59

like a fair weather fan. At the

53:01

bank. But like what do you, why,

53:04

I agree with you. It's a dumb,

53:06

I don't understand. I also think this

53:08

is partially because his brother coach there.

53:10

Yeah, also in Philly, they boo you,

53:13

but then if they realize that they

53:15

booed you and gone too far, they'll

53:17

sarcastically cheer for you to try to

53:19

make you better. Wasn't sarcastic. It was

53:22

at first, it wasn't first, but then

53:24

it worked. But then it worked. Wrong.

53:26

Wrong. Call go call we should go.

53:29

Yeah Agreed how much I'm excited for

53:31

the NBA plus we will have an

53:33

expert on to break it down There

53:35

we go you got a flag. Give

53:38

us the best of seven so Washington

53:40

gets the first pick on one of

53:42

them. Okay So we're gonna do that

53:44

a million times no seven times. We'll

53:47

see who gets who gets the most?

53:49

Oh Philly gets it one one Oh,

53:52

this is crazy. We've done this three

53:55

times. We've only had Philly in Washington.

53:57

Philly three. Utah How many? Keep going.

53:59

Just keep going. Washington. Three two. We'll

54:02

just do it till one of you

54:04

gets four. Okay. Brooklyn. Philly. Four two.

54:06

That was that's what are the odds

54:09

of that happening. Very low. That's that's

54:11

what are the odds of that happening.

54:13

Very low. You guys. That's what are

54:15

the odds of that happening? Very low.

54:18

You guys have the 10. Yes, it's

54:20

gonna be such bullshit if the sixers

54:22

get Cooper for I yeah, I'm gonna

54:25

be so mad I'm gonna hate the

54:27

fuck out of it You're getting me

54:29

flip instantly that'd be such you guys

54:32

are building Duke 2.0 Yeah true Yeah,

54:34

yeah, sure I said it again. Yeah,

54:36

I said it he said it. I

54:39

like yeah Memes said you pass on

54:41

Tatum. You'd like that, Hank. Marklefolt. Memes,

54:43

you gotta get your mic on for

54:45

that. Memes, that was fire. You know,

54:48

it was so fire. You gotta get

54:50

your mic on to that. Memes, Jay,

54:52

Jay, Jay. Oh. Should we talk about

54:55

Nico at Tennessee a little bit? Yeah,

54:57

let's talk about it. College Sports. It

54:59

was put into quite the turmoil on

55:02

Saturday morning. Well. I had no idea.

55:04

Still, I knew we were going to

55:06

talk about Sunday. I didn't, I haven't

55:08

followed the story at all. I've just

55:11

seen so many people say, Nico this,

55:13

Nico that, Nico this, Nico that. There

55:15

is so much pearl clutching about what

55:18

this means for the sport. But everyone's

55:20

breaking up a little because... Yeah, so

55:22

what happened? Niko got a shitload of

55:25

money from the collective at the University

55:27

of Tennessee to go to school at

55:29

Tennessee. He was the number one recruited

55:31

quarterback. They got him, they were pumped

55:34

that they got him because can't miss

55:36

prospect. Tom Fernando, your best friend Hank,

55:38

was sitting on that couch and said,

55:41

Niko for Heisman before the season started.

55:43

I bet it. He did not work

55:45

because turns out he didn't play well

55:48

at all against any good schools. He

55:50

beat up on the trash cans. and

55:52

then he was like a very average

55:55

to slightly below average quarterback in SEC

55:57

play. Then... his dad or his uncle's

55:59

family member I forget which one a

56:01

family member goes back to UT and

56:04

says hey price the bag just went

56:06

up I know you're paying what two

56:08

mill it was two and a half

56:11

mill and then they wanted four mill

56:13

so they wanted four mill so they

56:15

said price the bag just went up

56:18

to keep Nico got to pay four

56:20

million now because there's other schools that

56:22

would pay that and Tennessee was like

56:24

we're not gonna talk about that right

56:27

now we're still in the season in

56:29

fact it was the week of their

56:31

playoff game He was actively shopping himself

56:34

allegedly to other teams. Then he does

56:36

a holdout. So he doesn't go to

56:38

practice and he's holding out from team

56:41

activities. This is after the playoff game.

56:43

The spring game was Saturday and there

56:45

was rumors that this was happening and

56:48

Tennessee fans now I consider myself a

56:50

fall for life from from winning national

56:52

championships with Doug's in Knoxville. Tennessee fans

56:54

maybe weren't. doing the best this week

56:57

when there were reports. I think Ari

56:59

Washerman had something. I think someone else

57:01

had on three network had reports that

57:04

this was happening and Tennessee fans were

57:06

attacking those reporters and being like, this

57:08

is bullshit. You're just making this up.

57:11

Turns out it was all true. He

57:13

skipped the practice on Friday and then

57:15

didn't show to the spring game on

57:17

Saturday and it's over. Yeah, so. What

57:20

Tennessee did was actually smart. They came

57:22

out and they said we're moving on

57:24

from Niko. Yeah. Before Niko had a

57:27

chance to be like I've entered the

57:29

transfer portal. He wasn't good enough to

57:31

get a million and a half race.

57:34

Like if he had been a no

57:36

doubt guy, I think Tennessee would have

57:38

paid him. Probably. I think they would

57:41

have been like, hey, if he was

57:43

archmanning, if he was someone who. Has

57:45

like you have to keep him on

57:47

your team because you have these title

57:50

chances. I don't think he proved that

57:52

and they're like all right go and

57:54

now but off it sounded like but

57:57

Nico or they're. defense is really good.

57:59

Nico, I think he's getting bad advice

58:01

from his, so his dad is his

58:04

agent, which also complicates thing, because when

58:06

your dad is your agent, the one

58:08

thing that your dad doesn't have to

58:10

do, he's not representing other people. So

58:13

he doesn't have to act in good

58:15

faith in any of the negotiations. He

58:17

could basically say, I'm gonna burn this

58:20

school because guess what, I don't have

58:22

any other clients that when I come

58:24

back around asking for money, they can't

58:27

be like, His dad was like trying

58:29

to get more money. I think it's

58:31

short-sighted because Nico if he had a

58:33

really good year in Josh Hypell's offense

58:36

could be a high draft pick make

58:38

a lot of money and said now

58:40

he's gonna have to go somewhere else

58:43

to learn a whole new offense learn

58:45

new personnel in a short window. Yeah,

58:47

that's the thing. He is he's not

58:50

good enough to get a raise. It's

58:52

gonna work out like financially. okay for

58:54

him this year, but Big Cat's right,

58:57

like Tennessee is probably the best place

58:59

he could be if he's thinking about

59:01

where he wants to get drafted in

59:03

the future. And it's also, this is

59:06

why I feel like this is all

59:08

eventually going to get sorted out one

59:10

way or another, because my theory has

59:13

always been that like eventually these rich

59:15

guys and NAL and the collectives are

59:17

going to be sick of... paying millions

59:20

of millions of dollars to 18 year

59:22

olds that might not pan out. And

59:24

this is kind of what happened here

59:26

because Nico, they were like, no, we're

59:29

not going to pay another million and

59:31

a half. So the QB class of

59:33

2023, these are the top eight guys,

59:36

archmanning, still at Texas, Nico. now in

59:38

the transfer portal. Dante Moore started UCLA,

59:40

Oregon. Jackson Arnold started Oklahoma now Auburn.

59:43

Malachi Nelson, remember he was like a

59:45

camp miss, USC, now he's at UTEP.

59:47

Jayden Rashada started at ASU, now he's

59:50

in the portal. House started Washington State,

59:52

now, sorry Oregon State, now Michigan State,

59:54

and Austin Mac started Washington now at

59:56

Alabama. Like. It's hard to predict if

59:59

these guys are going to be good.

1:00:01

Yeah. And it's hard to give two

1:00:03

and a half million dollars to a

1:00:06

guy who might be like, yeah, I'm

1:00:08

going to go somewhere else. It's a

1:00:10

system problem. The problem is like with

1:00:13

basically no rules whatsoever. So of course

1:00:15

this type of thing. Basically no rules

1:00:17

whatsoever. So of course this type of

1:00:19

shit is going to happen. So of

1:00:22

course this type of shit is going

1:00:24

to happen. he sucked and now I

1:00:26

feel like I just wasted a million

1:00:29

dollars so of course the people that

1:00:31

are funding it are gonna be like

1:00:33

I don't want to pay for that

1:00:36

anymore let's try to get somebody in

1:00:38

the portal that's going to come here

1:00:40

they also he fucked over the team

1:00:43

yeah because the team had a plan

1:00:45

like they thought that Nico might be

1:00:47

going as early as December of last

1:00:49

year because they were starting to hear

1:00:52

these like things like Nico is is

1:00:54

unhappy he's going to want more money

1:00:56

so they were going to try to

1:00:59

recruit other quarterbacks But those other quarterbacks

1:01:01

wouldn't go to school there if Nico

1:01:03

was still the quarterback because they're like

1:01:06

this guy's gonna start ahead of me

1:01:08

right for a year maybe two years.

1:01:10

So then they couldn't they couldn't get

1:01:12

the roster in order for next season

1:01:15

because they thought Nico was coming back

1:01:17

and then Nico's like actually fucking I'm

1:01:19

out. Yeah did you hear the rumor

1:01:22

shout Dan Lining rider die guy like

1:01:24

good good guy. The rumor was that

1:01:26

he was the one who tipped off

1:01:29

Josh hypo was like hey. Nico's dad's

1:01:31

trying to get him go somewhere else.

1:01:33

Yeah, like and told him that and

1:01:35

that's when how Tennessee found out I

1:01:38

just I think it's just it's unfortunate

1:01:40

because I do I am very much

1:01:42

in favor of the kids getting paid

1:01:45

and they should get paid because they're

1:01:47

bringing in billions of dollars and it's

1:01:49

so stupid it took this long. But

1:01:52

I just like this is a situation

1:01:54

where I think he's getting bad advice

1:01:56

and Josh Hype was a really good

1:01:59

offensive coach and To have this do

1:02:01

this for a million and a half dollars

1:02:03

when the alternative is possibly staying

1:02:05

at Tennessee Doing really well under

1:02:07

Josh hyple and you know your third

1:02:09

year in the system is second year playing

1:02:12

in the system and then maybe getting

1:02:14

drafted high There's a lot more money

1:02:16

that way. Yeah, and now you don't know I

1:02:18

mean it could all turn out. It could be

1:02:20

fine, but I also think that if you're

1:02:22

Tennessee fan you shouldn't worry because Josh

1:02:25

Hype was a really good coach and it's

1:02:27

also kind of good showing that you have

1:02:29

like, you know, you're not gonna, in

1:02:31

future negotiations, you're not going to

1:02:33

just placate everyone. Turns out one

1:02:36

year free agency kind of sucks

1:02:38

as a fan. We need two-year

1:02:40

contracts. Yeah, we need two-year contracts.

1:02:42

Yeah, listen, it's good for the players

1:02:45

in terms of short-term, they're able

1:02:47

to bounce around where they want,

1:02:49

if they think in different schools,

1:02:51

it's good for them. Right. It

1:02:53

really sucks. Eventually, I think that they

1:02:55

should have trades if you're going

1:02:57

to have holdouts. We got to have

1:02:59

trades now. Do you think we'll ever

1:03:01

get to a point where we have

1:03:04

a college football draft? Because that would

1:03:06

rock. Trades would be cool. I think

1:03:08

it should be like a soccer system.

1:03:10

Where if you go from a smaller

1:03:12

school to a bigger school, the bigger

1:03:14

school has to pay money to the

1:03:17

smaller school, a loan system, so the

1:03:19

smaller schools can actually start making money

1:03:21

off of this? I thought you meant

1:03:23

like youth academies, like University of Tennessee

1:03:25

middle school. Yeah, no, no, but you

1:03:27

recruit guys to go there when they're

1:03:29

11. But like college basketball specifically, like

1:03:31

there's a lot of the mid majors

1:03:33

or smaller get rated for their talent

1:03:35

for their seniors. Why shouldn't the power

1:03:37

fives pay those schools a fee to

1:03:39

get their player? Yeah, I think like

1:03:41

that would be awesome. It just, it

1:03:44

will never happen. A draft will never

1:03:46

happen for college football, but it would

1:03:48

just be funny to think about it

1:03:50

happening. Yeah, so yeah, that's Nico. It

1:03:52

was just crazy college football. And

1:03:54

we're actually like, Tennessee had their

1:03:56

spring game, we're losing spring games,

1:03:59

spring games are. Gonna be, I

1:04:01

bet you in a couple years, there'll

1:04:03

be no spring games. Also, Hank, did

1:04:05

you hear this one? Did you know

1:04:07

his name? It's I'm a lever. Mm-hmm.

1:04:10

That's last year. I'm a lea. I'm

1:04:12

a lea. I'm a lea. It's not

1:04:14

I'm a stea. Did you hear that's

1:04:16

the first time? That's one of years?

1:04:19

That's literally everyone. A fan had a.

1:04:21

on the his jersey just he put

1:04:23

tape over and said I'm a bitch

1:04:25

I like pretty good quick work and

1:04:28

the day that he signed with Tennessee

1:04:30

everybody that didn't get him yeah made

1:04:32

that joke immediately also Tennessee has a

1:04:35

little bit a tiny bit to there

1:04:37

are tiny bits of blame or they

1:04:39

shouldn't be a surprise because he prioritized

1:04:41

money from the get-go yeah so you

1:04:44

can't be shocked when he prioritized his

1:04:46

money again yeah Like that was the

1:04:48

whole reason he went to Tennessee was

1:04:50

like they offered him the most amount

1:04:53

of money and that's how it worked

1:04:55

and that's fine but then when he

1:04:57

turns around is like I want more

1:04:59

money you can't be like oh I

1:05:02

can't believe he did this. I thought

1:05:04

he loved Knoxman. Yeah as a journalist

1:05:06

it's fucked up that their fans were

1:05:08

running out the journalists. There was a

1:05:11

little bit I mean look if your

1:05:13

fan you don't want it to be

1:05:15

true I think there were a lot

1:05:17

of. Maybe I'm just biased because of

1:05:20

the Tennessee fans because of the Tennessee

1:05:22

fans because of the Tennessee fans that

1:05:24

I know. But the writing's been on

1:05:26

the wall that Nico was probably going

1:05:29

to try to rake him over the

1:05:31

coals. Yeah Yeah, it was it was

1:05:33

definitely in the big T new you

1:05:36

1:09:26

right before we got started

1:09:29

taping this segment I have

1:09:31

never even conceived of a

1:09:33

take this hot in my

1:09:36

brain Hey PFT literally while

1:09:38

we were sitting here. He

1:09:40

just goes. Oh my god.

1:09:42

Oh my god I go

1:09:45

Oh my god. And then

1:09:47

you guys were like what

1:09:49

and I go this tape?

1:09:52

Put this I love what

1:09:54

PFD really get really respects

1:09:56

a day. Oh my god.

1:09:59

Kid, maybe. I can't even fathom

1:10:01

what sport the fact that the

1:10:03

fact that it hasn't done this could

1:10:05

be about it hasn't done big numbers

1:10:07

yet but I mean I I don't

1:10:09

understand that this is a it's insane

1:10:12

even coming from the guy that it's

1:10:14

coming from Greg Doyle oh Greg Doyle

1:10:16

from the Indian Star just dropped the

1:10:18

column the internet this is the end

1:10:20

of the internet I don't think we

1:10:23

can go any further than this All

1:10:25

right, here we go. Here's here's

1:10:27

the post. Master's contender Bryson

1:10:29

to Shambo accepted $125

1:10:32

million from the alleged

1:10:34

backers of 9-11. Quarterback

1:10:36

Niko, Ayamiliva, sought additional

1:10:39

millions from Tennessee. Which of

1:10:41

these is okay with you? And why?

1:10:43

That's the post. Then you open it

1:10:45

up and it is a column that

1:10:48

is heaping equal amounts of judgment

1:10:50

on both Bryson to Shambo and

1:10:52

Niko. Okay, they're both the same

1:10:54

thing right can we talk about

1:10:57

something serious without getting snagged

1:10:59

by politics or race? Yeah, dumb question.

1:11:01

That's always a great way to start

1:11:03

out your article is to like ask

1:11:05

a rhetorical question and then answer it

1:11:07

saying that you shouldn't be doing this

1:11:09

call. He loves to do those questions

1:11:11

of himself. No chance of that. Not

1:11:14

for society as a whole anyway, but

1:11:16

how about you? How about me? Can

1:11:18

the two of us discuss the greed

1:11:20

of two very different Americans and the

1:11:22

very different societal reaction that greed? Can

1:11:24

we talk about Nico and Bryson? Can

1:11:26

we do it without losing our soul? as it

1:11:28

relates to our reaction to their

1:11:30

greed should fit both gentlemen, both

1:11:33

have shamelessly chased the almighty dollar.

1:11:35

Niko decided two million in NIL

1:11:37

wasn't enough to play quarterback for

1:11:40

Tennessee. One year after the state's

1:11:42

attorney general fought for and won

1:11:44

his right to cash in so

1:11:46

richly. Shame on Niko. Yeah. The

1:11:48

state's attorney for, has he no

1:11:50

respect for the effort and the

1:11:52

days of paperwork that the state's

1:11:55

attorney did? The Shambo chose to take

1:11:57

125 million dollars from the Saudi Arabian

1:11:59

Caribbean which is believed to have funded

1:12:01

the 9-11 attack on US soil. Only

1:12:03

one has been largely vilified. No, not

1:12:05

the guy bought off by the Saudis.

1:12:08

Uh, no, I think like, yeah, I

1:12:10

think as a society, I can say

1:12:12

this 24 years since it happened. We've

1:12:14

come to the conclusion that 9-11 was

1:12:16

bad. Well, not only that, but we

1:12:18

also, all the live guys got vilified

1:12:20

hard for a while. Yeah. Like it's

1:12:22

like all we talk about yeah we

1:12:24

talked about the entire it was solid

1:12:26

year. I'm not I'm not going to

1:12:28

read this column but somehow in Greg

1:12:30

Doyle's brain society has decided that 9-11

1:12:32

wasn't that bad and that Nico is

1:12:34

worse than 9-11. Oh you miss he

1:12:36

says go Bryson or sorry but but

1:12:39

the voice of public opinion has been

1:12:41

heard on both gentlemen and overwhelmingly it

1:12:43

sounds like this go Bryson. Go to

1:12:45

heck, Niko. Sir, sir, a second million

1:12:47

dollars has been awarded to Niko for

1:12:49

attending the University of Tennessee. Go to

1:12:51

heck, Niko. This is also just a

1:12:53

very dated live-is-bad take. Yeah. Like he's

1:12:55

a year and a half behind. Been

1:12:57

like, hey, why isn't anyone talking about

1:12:59

this live guy? Does he mention the

1:13:01

merger? No, he does not mention the

1:13:03

fact that PJ has come completely around

1:13:05

and to the point of... Right, that's

1:13:07

like if American Airlines was like, uh,

1:13:09

MBS, let's talk turkey here. I'd like

1:13:12

to do a frequent flyer mile. This

1:13:14

is such a weird. I feel like

1:13:16

this article was written just for Henry

1:13:18

Lockwood. This article was, yeah, like a

1:13:20

live head who hates Rory. No, what

1:13:22

do you mean? That's what I'm saying,

1:13:24

like you announced. Yeah, really, you've got

1:13:26

to live himself. You have to live

1:13:28

yourself. So my other real who's back

1:13:30

of the week is kidney stones. We

1:13:32

are the number one kidney stone podcast

1:13:34

in the United States. Big Cat has

1:13:36

been, you've had two bouts with the

1:13:38

stones, right? Two bouts has been, uh...

1:13:40

stones total. I've had... I had one

1:13:43

and then the last time was four,

1:13:45

one that I passed, three that I

1:13:47

think are just chilling. And that was

1:13:49

like in the fall. And so I

1:13:51

had my first bout right after you

1:13:53

had your first bout. Yep. I had

1:13:55

a baker's dozen inside me at that

1:13:57

point. Very synced up. I had 13

1:13:59

kidney stones in my system in like

1:14:01

2018. The first one really hurt badly

1:14:03

to pass the second and third. I

1:14:05

felt them. They weren't nearly as bad.

1:14:07

And then I just kind of forgot

1:14:09

about him and didn't follow up with

1:14:11

the urologist and figured it all work

1:14:14

its way out Saturday I'm sitting on

1:14:16

my couch. I'm helping Blake who's recovering

1:14:18

from his ACL surgery quite nicely He's

1:14:20

doing a great job. He did poop

1:14:22

in the bed because he was super

1:14:24

relaxed after the surgery, but that's fine

1:14:26

He's a good boy. So I was

1:14:28

relaxing in my living room. It was

1:14:30

about 6 p.m yesterday and I started

1:14:32

to get this bad pain, but it's

1:14:34

not the same directly located on my

1:14:36

nuts. In fact, one nut in particular.

1:14:38

So I was like, why does my

1:14:40

nut hurt so bad? And it got

1:14:42

worse and then it got way worse

1:14:45

and then I felt like I was

1:14:47

going to pass out and throw up.

1:14:49

Started sweating. I was like, did you

1:14:51

just have like permanent like you feel

1:14:53

like you just got hit in the

1:14:55

nut? That's it. It feels like I

1:14:57

got to go to the hospital. So

1:14:59

I go to the hospital. And then

1:15:01

on my intake into the hospital, the

1:15:03

lady was like, we need to get

1:15:05

you fast past to the back to

1:15:07

do an ultrasound on you to make

1:15:09

sure you don't have twisted testicles. Sometimes

1:15:11

you hear about like, I feel like

1:15:13

some baseball players have had that. So

1:15:15

then they do an ultrasound on my

1:15:18

balls, which is very, it's a very

1:15:20

strange thing. And they're like. If it's

1:15:22

a twisted testicle, we might have to

1:15:24

remove the testicle, but we might be

1:15:26

able to save it So now I'm

1:15:28

like fuck am I gonna walk out

1:15:30

of the bathroom one ball lighter? Which

1:15:32

I personally would be okay with because

1:15:34

I always feel like it's like when

1:15:36

you look at flowers One rose looks

1:15:38

very pretty in a vase two roses

1:15:40

looks off. Yeah, it's off three roses

1:15:42

looks great. Yeah, but I got two

1:15:44

nuts I'd be okay with having one

1:15:46

nut I could make that work also

1:15:49

would have been yellow wristbands for everyone

1:15:51

in the office yeah would have been

1:15:53

hilarious for the show like you know

1:15:55

I'm the guy with one like have

1:15:57

some balls and you could be like

1:15:59

I well too soon yeah or like

1:16:01

Dan Campbell goes for it on fourth

1:16:03

down and PFD has to do the

1:16:05

the South Park but it's only one

1:16:07

ball oh memes would get so much

1:16:09

mileage out of that yeah so so

1:16:11

then I'm in the hospital thinking I

1:16:13

might be walking out here a ball

1:16:15

lighter lighter And they do the ultrasound,

1:16:17

they tell me good news, it's not

1:16:20

the twisted test goal. By the way,

1:16:22

I don't recommend anybody get an ultrasound

1:16:24

done on their... on their nuts because

1:16:26

it's very awkward especially when the technician's

1:16:28

a female. They rub that thing? Yeah,

1:16:30

they do the like warm gel and

1:16:32

they had me get in this weird

1:16:34

position and it was a whole thing.

1:16:36

Anyway, so then I go back in

1:16:38

the room and I don't know what's

1:16:40

going on but my nuts keep hurting

1:16:42

worse and worse and worse and worse

1:16:44

and worse and eventually I get a

1:16:46

cat scan done after like four hours

1:16:48

in the hospital feeling awful and it's

1:16:51

another kidney stone. Which is at that

1:16:53

point I was pumped I was fucking

1:16:55

pumped. It was a kidney stone and

1:16:57

I wasn't gonna have to get a

1:16:59

nut removed so Yeah, I've been in

1:17:01

pretty much I was in excruciating pain

1:17:03

from like 5 p.m. till 3 a.m.

1:17:05

on Saturday. Now I'm good until like

1:17:07

an hour ago and it's coming back

1:17:09

and it's bad So yeah, hopefully I

1:17:11

pissed this thing out tonight. I've been

1:17:13

trying to piss while we podcast today

1:17:15

and nothing's coming out That's brutal. And

1:17:17

when you say, because I had the

1:17:19

same thing going to the hospital, when

1:17:22

they tell you that it's a kidney

1:17:24

zone, it sounds stupid to be like,

1:17:26

thank God, but a kidney zone symptoms

1:17:28

are basically you're about to die. Yeah,

1:17:30

like your internal organs are about to

1:17:32

explode. So when they're like, oh no,

1:17:34

you're just a fat piece of shit

1:17:36

that probably eats like shit and you

1:17:38

have a bunch of salt that formed

1:17:40

in your kidney, you'll piss it out

1:17:42

in a few days. Thank you Lord,

1:17:44

that's all I wanted to hear. Yeah,

1:17:46

at the time I was like, I'll

1:17:48

change anything, I'll do anything, I'll do

1:17:50

anything, just get me out of the

1:17:52

hospital. and then like it's a kidney

1:17:55

stone you just maybe need to have

1:17:57

like one less bowl of ramen per

1:17:59

week and I'm like yeah no deal

1:18:01

yeah no deal so yeah we're I

1:18:03

mean we've been through this before I'll

1:18:05

be able to base this thing out

1:18:07

I got multiple kidney stones I said

1:18:09

but I'm okay. I'm fine with it.

1:18:11

It could have been a lot worse.

1:18:13

So this technically means I'm back on

1:18:15

the clock. You're back on the clock.

1:18:17

We have literally gone. I had a

1:18:19

kidney stone. You had a kidney stone.

1:18:21

I had a kidney stone. You had

1:18:23

a kidney stone. So I'm back. It's

1:18:26

it's my turn. Yeah, they said they

1:18:28

said multiple whiteboard in the in the

1:18:30

studio. Yeah, well, do you think it

1:18:32

has any to do with the fact

1:18:34

that before every podcast. We we dock.

1:18:36

We dock. No, we dock. No, probably

1:18:38

not. All right, because if anything, well,

1:18:40

yeah, that's maybe how it gets passed

1:18:42

back and forth. We just piss it

1:18:44

up each other's dicks all the time.

1:18:46

But yeah, so it's okay. It's a

1:18:48

lot of pain, but it's not nearly

1:18:50

as much pain as I was in

1:18:52

on on Saturday, but didn't miss your

1:18:54

household is snake bitten. You guys are

1:18:57

like a playoff team just one week

1:18:59

after. Yeah, one week after another just

1:19:01

rolling around, and all of a sudden,

1:19:03

the season's just over. Yeah, well, well,

1:19:05

good news is we're getting an impact

1:19:07

player, we're getting an impact player back.

1:19:09

The El Camino's up and running. Oh,

1:19:11

yeah. So now we're, we're living high.

1:19:13

Yeah. But yeah, so it was, it

1:19:15

was not a fun experience on Saturday.

1:19:17

I will not be changing anything likely

1:19:19

about my diet. That's good. Yeah, I

1:19:21

mean, I, I am the lion at

1:19:23

this stage. What am I gonna do?

1:19:25

Stop eating salt? Salt is the best

1:19:28

thing that you can eat. You can't,

1:19:30

you can't do it. So Hank, you're

1:19:32

actually on the clock. You're actually on

1:19:34

the clock. Yeah. thought about that no

1:19:36

on before hank yeah that's probably true

1:19:38

I would I mean like I went

1:19:40

to after my kid so I went

1:19:42

to get a physical because I was

1:19:44

like oh I should probably get this

1:19:46

checked out healthy as healthy as could

1:19:48

be I love that I mean little

1:19:50

overweight but everything else my wife was

1:19:52

actually mad at me that my cholesterol

1:19:54

was normal she's like this is not

1:19:56

right like you you you eat like

1:19:58

run the test again this is bullshit

1:20:01

like you can't be healthy when like

1:20:03

every Everyone else has to like do

1:20:05

all these things to make sure they

1:20:07

stay up. Sorry. It is. It's a

1:20:09

funny thing when the doctor comes back

1:20:11

in and they read your labs for

1:20:13

you and they're like, yeah, it turns

1:20:15

out your blood work is. all excellent

1:20:17

yeah but you're just you eat like

1:20:19

a mother and you've got gravel forming

1:20:21

inside of your body so it's just

1:20:23

like yeah you could lose probably 15

1:20:25

20 25 pounds but everything else good

1:20:27

is there a main cause for kidney

1:20:29

stones is it salt there's a couple

1:20:32

things it could be dehydration it could

1:20:34

be dehydration it could be somewhat hereditary

1:20:36

yeah there's one that I think probably

1:20:38

is my fault coffee yeah that could

1:20:40

be it's anything that's like that is

1:20:42

like what is a diuretic no Yeah,

1:20:44

the nurse told me like multiple caffeine

1:20:46

drinks a day will do it. I

1:20:48

was like, well, yeah, I do that

1:20:50

every day. And she was like, yeah,

1:20:52

me too. Yeah. It's a different type

1:20:54

of pain. Big Cat, you were very

1:20:56

well experienced in it. It's the type

1:20:58

of pain that people say I wouldn't

1:21:00

wish on my biggest enemy. I disagree

1:21:03

wholeheartedly. Yeah. This is the exact thing

1:21:05

that you should be wishing on your

1:21:07

worst enemy. All my enemies I want

1:21:09

to have this. Exactly. I want them.

1:21:11

Yeah, Hank. Yes. It feels like your

1:21:13

it feels like your your stomach in

1:21:15

back are going to explode at the

1:21:17

same time. Also, the doctor again for

1:21:19

the second time told me. that this

1:21:21

pain is worse than childbirth, which I

1:21:23

will not be saying to any women.

1:21:25

But it's true. But it is true.

1:21:27

Yeah. And so I've given birth to

1:21:29

like 13, I'm, I'm as tough as

1:21:31

Philip River's wife. Kind of, kind of,

1:21:34

good lead into my question, probably a

1:21:36

dumb question. Can women get kidney stones?

1:21:38

Yes, they can. Okay. And they can

1:21:40

be, that's just as painful. But it's

1:21:42

gross when they do it. It's manly

1:21:44

when we do it. Yeah. That's the

1:21:46

difference. Man type shit, alpha shit. Yeah.

1:21:48

I think it's more, I think it's

1:21:50

more common for men. Yeah, because we

1:21:52

just go harder in life. Yeah. We

1:21:54

just fucking live on the edges. See,

1:21:56

I can't wait for the second time

1:21:58

taking a piss. I hear the ping

1:22:00

on the back of the toilet. You need

1:22:02

to get you need to get the thing.

1:22:05

I got to get the straight. They didn't

1:22:07

give me the strainer. You feel like you

1:22:09

feel like a gold rush guy. I would

1:22:11

just piss into the to the strainer. I

1:22:14

did gain a whole new appreciation though for

1:22:16

ER staff. Yeah. By because I had to

1:22:18

sit out in the in the main lobby

1:22:20

for not even that long because they rushed

1:22:22

me back to do the ultrasound. But

1:22:25

I was there for like five or

1:22:27

six minutes. 8 p.m. 9 p.m.

1:22:29

on a Saturday night. God

1:22:31

bless those that have to

1:22:33

corral them. Yeah, and get

1:22:35

them to communicate. Yeah, it's a

1:22:38

hell of a job. Uh, all

1:22:40

right. My, uh, who's back the

1:22:42

week? I have two. The first

1:22:44

is going to be. Oh, guys lying

1:22:47

about their weight. Or maybe

1:22:49

not. You see, uh, D.T.

1:22:51

President Trump. He's actually lost.

1:22:53

He's two. He's two 24.

1:22:55

He's two. That's awesome. That's

1:22:58

RG3. Yeah. Maybe DK Metcalfe.

1:23:00

I love it. And I know people like

1:23:02

getting a whole tizzy about it. They're

1:23:05

like, this is bullshit. Listen, if your

1:23:07

doctor says it, then it's the truth.

1:23:09

Just like my blood works fine. What

1:23:11

do I fucking care? I think that

1:23:14

he does that now. Like at first,

1:23:16

I think he was lying about it.

1:23:18

Now he lies about it because he

1:23:20

knows that people are going to get

1:23:22

fun of him for lying about it.

1:23:24

Yeah. Yeah. The Elon, there was like

1:23:26

an article about Elon and how

1:23:28

he's like a dumpster fire and

1:23:31

people were accusing him of drugs

1:23:33

and someone from SpaceX was like,

1:23:35

no, he actually gets randomly drug

1:23:37

tested at SpaceX, passes everyone.

1:23:39

Yeah. Who runs SpaceX? Elon. Oh, okay.

1:23:41

Yeah, his drug test is like, yep.

1:23:43

Yeah, all of them. Good. That dude loves

1:23:46

Ketamine. And then my other who's back is

1:23:48

our good friend and colleague, Coach John Gruden,

1:23:50

because I took him up to Madison this

1:23:52

weekend and... I gotta say it was I

1:23:54

was smiling ear to ear not only because

1:23:56

I got to see you know one of

1:23:59

my favorite teams up close, we had

1:24:01

to spring practice, but seeing Coach Gruden

1:24:03

in his natural habitat, Wisconsin posted his

1:24:05

speech to the team, which was awesome,

1:24:08

but there were so many behind the

1:24:10

scenes hilarious moments where like I had

1:24:12

to keep. I had to keep like

1:24:15

getting him to like, like we were

1:24:17

trying to go somewhere and I had

1:24:19

to keep like coming back and grabbing

1:24:22

him because he would, he would talk

1:24:24

to like the tight ends coach and

1:24:26

he's like, what are you running? Like

1:24:29

what formations? What's your language? Like in

1:24:31

just sit there and talk to him?

1:24:33

It was. There's something that happens when

1:24:36

you go to like the park or

1:24:38

you go somewhere with your little kids

1:24:40

and if you take your eye off

1:24:43

them for a minute they could be

1:24:45

like on the other side of the

1:24:47

park you're like holy shit how they

1:24:50

get over there they saw a bird

1:24:52

they saw a squirrel that kept on

1:24:54

happening in practice where I would Basically

1:24:57

I was standing on the sideline and

1:24:59

I'd look up and I'd be like,

1:25:01

where's Coach Grewton? And he would just

1:25:04

be standing next to Coach Fickle like

1:25:06

with a call sheet, ready to call

1:25:08

a play. And it was just the

1:25:11

best. He had the power stance. That's

1:25:13

like vacation for him. He was just

1:25:15

going to visit a practice and just

1:25:18

talking about ball. The best was we

1:25:20

went up to him. He's like, how

1:25:22

deep you line up. He's like, I'm

1:25:25

the quarterback, show me how deep you

1:25:27

line up. And that was it. That

1:25:29

was our whole conversation. It's like, all

1:25:32

right, good to meet you. He's running

1:25:34

to know how deep they're lining up

1:25:36

in high school football. He looks so

1:25:39

happy just being around a football team.

1:25:41

And somehow, and I felt a little

1:25:43

bit hurt. I felt a little bit

1:25:46

hurt. I did, because we've lined up

1:25:48

in formation for him here at work.

1:25:50

Yeah. And he doesn't have that same

1:25:53

spunk in his step when he was

1:25:55

so happy. He was so happy. We

1:25:57

were just like, he was smiling the

1:26:00

whole time. It's great to see him

1:26:02

in it. I want to, I don't

1:26:04

want to lose him, but I also,

1:26:07

when you see someone, when you see

1:26:09

someone that happy in that habitat, you're

1:26:11

just like. It's like if you get

1:26:14

a dog like a border collie and

1:26:16

you live in an apartment and your

1:26:18

dog loves you You have a great

1:26:21

time with the dog and then you

1:26:23

take the dog out to like an

1:26:25

open-air dog park with some Maybe some

1:26:28

wildlife run around and you just see

1:26:30

it immediately start to like hurt him

1:26:32

and you're like that's where you should

1:26:35

be doing yeah, well, it's like he

1:26:37

needs to be the leading men. Yeah,

1:26:39

it's hard to be a leader of

1:26:42

big strong alpha men and he is

1:26:44

like in every room he is in

1:26:46

he is the alpha. Yeah and that's

1:26:49

like hard to come by and that's

1:26:51

what you know where he belongs yeah

1:26:53

and it's also just funny watching like

1:26:56

football guys the amount of connections they

1:26:58

have is just insane like he was

1:27:00

just a there was a guy he

1:27:03

had coached who is you know who

1:27:05

he saw there's a guy there's a

1:27:07

guy there's a guy there's a guy

1:27:10

there's a guy who he saw there's

1:27:12

a guy who's a guy who's a

1:27:14

guy who's that he gave two he

1:27:17

gave two two like he's Well that's

1:27:19

his speech his speech from the Raiders

1:27:21

hard knocks he like kind of put

1:27:24

all his speeches together just being like

1:27:26

the rock you know we pound that

1:27:28

right you pound that rock it's not

1:27:31

good break you pound that rock it's

1:27:33

not good all of us pound that

1:27:35

rock that thing's gonna smash and everybody

1:27:38

in the room was like he's right

1:27:40

yeah coaches right ten percent from you

1:27:42

four percent two percent from you okay

1:27:45

number one everybody has dreams I mean

1:27:47

everybody's got dreams and winning the win

1:27:49

in the big ten getting in the

1:27:52

new NIL deal deal deal everybody has

1:27:54

what Dreams I'm in the nightmares. You

1:27:56

guys got to end people's dreams. You

1:27:59

understand that? Miami, Ohio's coming in here

1:28:01

in a couple months. You end their

1:28:03

dreams. Okay? And then you get on

1:28:06

with the schedule. But everybody's got dreams.

1:28:08

Now it's your job to end those

1:28:10

dreams and become a nightmare. Coming out

1:28:13

of the tunnel, yes? Yes, sir. Okay.

1:28:15

Number two is there's a thing called

1:28:17

the team. It's called the what? There's

1:28:20

a lot of people, I think, in

1:28:22

football now that aren't invested. in the

1:28:24

team. Are we clear on that? I

1:28:27

want you to envision a big rock

1:28:29

right here. The rock is the opponent.

1:28:31

And if you pound that rock by

1:28:34

yourself, that rock won't crack. If you

1:28:36

pound a rock with them, that rock

1:28:38

won't crack. And that rock is Michigan.

1:28:41

That rock is Alabama. We all got

1:28:43

a pound to what? And these next

1:28:45

couple weeks before spring practice goes away.

1:28:48

Invest in your teammates, man. Go out

1:28:50

of your way to get to know

1:28:52

each other and have a rock mentality.

1:28:55

Point number three real quick is communication.

1:28:57

Say it with me. It ain't good

1:28:59

enough. It's not good enough anywhere. Coaches

1:29:02

were not communicating good enough together. Players

1:29:04

and coaches don't communicate good enough together.

1:29:06

Yes? There's a lack of what on

1:29:09

defense. Recognize the set, make the call,

1:29:11

let's roll. Yeah? Let's communicate better. And

1:29:13

then the last thing I'll leave you

1:29:16

with is this. What I've noticed is

1:29:18

there's really good effort here. Really good.

1:29:20

But there's a big difference between good

1:29:23

and great. Are we clear on that?

1:29:25

You get one shot at 2025. That's

1:29:27

it. And as soon as you blink

1:29:30

your eyes and open it's over. We

1:29:32

got to do a better job, I

1:29:34

think, of working together. Yes, sir. I'm

1:29:37

talking about our effort, our execution, our

1:29:39

enthusiasm, and our intensity. You turn it

1:29:41

up 4%, 2%, 8%, 10% and that

1:29:44

accumulation is going to turn us into

1:29:46

a freaking nightmare. You guys dig it?

1:29:48

Yes, sir. You guys believe in each

1:29:51

other or not? Yes, sir. Go prove

1:29:53

it. All right, let's go man. Let's

1:29:55

have a great day. Let's go. Oh,

1:29:58

so pumped up. But yeah, it was

1:30:00

great. All right, let's. Let's get to
