It's part of my take on martial sports.

Today is Friday, May 17th, and the Minnesota Timberwolves have forced a game seven with an absolute ass-kicking pFt of the Denver Nuggets. When you thought this series couldn't get weirder, you thought the Wolves were dead. They come out and they 50-piece, they 45-pieced the Nuggets at home with their throwbacks. And we're going, yeah, they trumped them, and we're.

Going to a game seven? Yeah, game seven. Two sweetest words in sports. It used to be b-to-l-a, now it's game seven. we're also Game five fans. But this series has not been. It's been close in terms of the number of games won, but there haven't been any real good games. It feels like it goes back and forth.

He just can't shoot. Yeah, yeah, the Nuggets shot like shit. I also thought the Timberwolves made an awesome defensive adjustment by doubling Yokage in the post where they're like, Hey, Rudy Gobert got cooked for an all-time performance in Game five.

That's the thing the Wolves played, they should get credit, they played with a lot of energy and they look really good, especially in the first half. They put the game out of hand pretty much by the middle of the third quarter. But also the Nuggets, I think deserve. It's like who who won?

Shooting the basketball. And we also should say that the Wolves were their throwbacks with the throwback court, which was the minute I turned on the game. I was like, Oh, it's on like that, I don't know.

I like the t-shirts they're wearing tonight, too, they're kind of swagger jacking. Okay, see a little bit, but the the fan t-shirts that just said, I heart wolves, that's a good one.

Yeah, uh, by the way, if you're, if you're tuning in and watching us, Hank is, uh, in a, uh. Well, no, I was gonna say Uber, but you're banned from Uber. A lyft.

He's in a library.

I'm in a library, yeah.

He's studying.

Yeah.

Might win game seven. Yeah, he's happy. Hank's definitely in a better place right now than he was at this exact time two nights ago. You do, you do look like a hologram or like a ghost?

Like a demon poltergeist. Yeah, I tried to take it off that I feel like I almost blew up the riverside.

Incredible Period of RANGERs Period of the week New York Rangers down three. One look lifeless. Uh, look like we were going to have an all time choke job by the Rangers, forcing a game seven after they're up three. Oh, in this series, they come back, they win the game. Memes Uh, I would like to read a tweet to you, uh, that was posted when the Rangers had a incredible comeback like, awesome moment for Rangers fans.

Goal.

It was an all-time, uh, all-time hustle play. Yeah, yeah, meme. So how are you feeling now that? uh, the Rangers, you, you were, you were, you were definitely like, this is going to be awesome.

So we talk a little bit later about, uh, inside the NBA and how it's maybe going away, maybe moving to a different place. I went down a rabbit hole for about, I'd say, 25 30 minutes today, watching the best clips and inside the NBA history. I was just laughing the entire time. It's it's so funny, it's so good.

The clip, my all time favorite, is, uh, Charles Barkley talking about how he got his bracelet from a dude in the sauna. Yeah, yeah, in the steam room, the steam room.

Yeah, this guy gave it to me, that's a great one. My, my, my other favorite is the night that the uh, that the Clippers and the rockets got into the fight underneath the Staples center. And they went to somebody in the locker room that was giving a very serious report about what happened, and she was like, Uh, the LAPD has been called.

We don't have to worry because I don't know if you saw NBA Countdown the counterpart on ESPN tonight. But, uh, minutes before the tip off of the Wolves Nuggets game, they were so locked in, they had a debate. Would Stephen a score one basket versus LeBron in a one-on-one game up to a hundred points, spotting Stephen a 99 points?

Yeah, cause Stephen A brought this up, Stephen A brought up, because he was. He was wet, he was wet before the they started taping it, he he no, he brought it up.

Do it, I think he said he could do it because he, he, he was warming up with Bob Myers tonight. Uh, and he hit like five jumpers in a row. So that was kind of, I think that was what propelled it. Like, Hey, we were. It's ready for prime time.

Probably get a bucket on him. I'm going to say that Stephen A. I think Stephen A could score like five buckets on him. Ooh, cause I think LeBron losers, what do you mean?

Like, if LeBron scores, he does he get the ball checked out?

Oh, yeah, yeah, if LeBron scores, no, it goes to losers. Okay, okay.

Talk him to get in his head. Yeah, oh, easily, easily, yeah.

Like, Shit, yeah, I don't know, maybe what is it about playing on the live tour? That's that.

Actually makes him worse at golf, I don't know. I mean, he ended up minus one, but it was like, if you look at his scorecard, he was, uh, he was all over the place. Like he, he bogeyed. It's actually incredible that he was minus one.

Guys, well, the thing about John Rahm is I think he still wants all the money, he wants to play better golf too. But I know, I think that the money, the money is a big stumbling block in that negotiation because he doesn't want to lose it. And then also trying to go to MBS and say, Hey, I'm, can I just say psych?

That the live tour wants to give that guy up, I agree with you, I'm just I. He does look miserable out there, so I don't know if he's just like hating his decision, but it's it's interesting to watch. And then our guys, Brooks and Max, both did.

They did well. I love it when they play together, I love it when we're in the same group because it solves a lot of problems. For me, I don't have to worry about jumping back and forth from groups or waiting until my group shot comes up. I just said, I forget it.

Before, and it's not going to end well. Yeah. Bogey-free golfer man. He was on fire.

Jason Dumpter's in the hunt. I bet him. I think it was like 50 bucks to win $10,000.

If he finishes top 10.

Duffner Update What were you gonna say, Jake? didn't you say on the last show?

You wanted Michael Block to finish dead last? I did, and he was for a minute.

But I don't think he's dead last anymore. That sucks. Okay, so on the second hole.

I'm glad you brought Blocky up because he had a quad on number two. And then he's in commercials all over the place. He's like one of the faces of the PGA Championship this year. It's very funny and he does, he looks, he looks more like, if you, if you, uh, like, kidnapped Ryan Rosillo and left him out in the sun for a week. That's what Michael Block looks like.

Yeah, I forgot that John Daly plays this every year, so John Daly is second to last and Michael Block is, uh, he's, he's far off finishing dead last, but yeah, he sucks in the the. The eight that he got was so funny because it just goes against everything. If he had worries, because it was just him hitting it back and forth over the green, uh, and getting an eight.

Yeah, also with John Daly, he's he. It's awesome, the setup that he has at the PGA Championship is incredible. He gets to drive a cart, so he's driving around, but his caddy has to walk.

And, uh, the reporter for the Athletic, Gabby Herzig, said, Uh, she tweeted this. I overheard the volunteer with John Daly's group say that he went through two packs of cigarettes, four snicker bars and two cokes. Today at Valhalla had to share two sodas. What the fuck is wrong? Pepsi should have been Pepsi.

Uh, that's a that's a wild ratio to a pack of cigarettes for every soda.

Yeah, and also, uh, two snicker. I think it would be even crazier, two snicker bars for every pack of.

Of cigarettes, Yeah, he had four snickers bars. How many cigarettes are there in? uh, a pack of cigarettes? 20, 20, 20.?

He smoked 10 cigarettes for every Snickers bar. That's fucking incredible.

Oh.

Have you ever smoked a cigarette? Never in my life I have dipped, though, with you.

Oh yeah, that's right. I remember that smoke a cig, Jake.

Look at you smoking a cig that also wasn't as black. Buffalo. Yeah, that's true, yeah.

But yeah, we'll, we'll get you, we'll get you some cigarettes, Jake, let's do one, we'll do the job. What if we do a John Daly challenge? 40 cigarettes, 18 holes, two pepsis, two, four snickers.

Hole This is how my life goes, I I. I like start smoking because of some stupid PMT related challenge, then I have to start vaping to quit smoking, then I have to start smoking to quit vaping.

Smoking again? Yeah, all right. Well, we're doing it, we're just doing it on the simulator.

Okay, so I'm I'm looking forward to the John Daly challenge.

Yeah, I am, too. This is gonna be great. We should block, cause it'll give us a little more time.

Box of cigarettes, four snickers, two cokes and 18 holes get sponsored by hooters.

Two pepsi. Yeah, yeah, we got this, this is no problem.

Plus 16.

Yeah, maybe maybe me, you and Hank will do the John Daly challenge we got to finish. That's actually what we should do, we should do a three man scramble. He shot 11..

Of cigarettes What's so funny is that smoking 40 cigarettes in 18 holes is essentially what dads do to their kids. When they find you smoking for the first time, they're like, Well, here, I bet you can't smoke 40 of them. And that's a that's a casual afternoon at the at the links for John Daly, all right.

What we finally have to decide is it's I think it's 40 cigarettes. I think we all should have to do the four snickers and two pepsis individually. And if we don't shoot better than 11, we have to go right back and start over. Can I be honest with you? I think we, I think, we all have to do the two packs.

I don't know we. I don't know about that, but I would feel like I was cheating the game if I only smoked one pack. That's the hardest part of the challenge. Oh, easily, yeah.

Have a cigarette out of your hand, you can't breathe. you're just you're just breathing cigarettes. you can't breathe air, yeah.

John Daly's essentially training at altitude every time he plays around the golf, cause he's not getting any oxygen.

Second pack, though, we should say that we should, we probably should get a clarification. If anyone could get us. An actual amount of cigarettes smoked in the 18 holes, that would help, because two packs cigarettes doesn't like it could have been. He needed a second pack.

But he didn't get all the way through it. Yeah, so so. Who reported this?

Uh, Gabby Herzig. Okay, does it? If anybody out there knows Gabby Herzig? Oh, she follows me.

I'll hit her up, okay, we need to get, we need to get the exact number of cigarettes, or as close.

To it as possible. Okay, this is going to be fun. Hey, quick question Do you know exactly how many?

Cigarettes John Daly smoked. Was it a pack and a half of pack and a quarter, or like a full bonafide?

Two packs of cigarettes? Uh, all right, we'll get an answer. For the Canucks. He just scored.

Oh, he did. Oh fuck, I told you guys, you did. No. no, I'm not blaming you, Jake, I'm not blaming you.

And you mean, figuratively undressed by the by the team president? Yes, okay, yeah, good.

Hold on, hold on, a second, hold on. Yeah, so wait, let's get into it, all right?

Like, you know what, I'm going to put you in a position to succeed because you're my buddy.

We can't be on the same team and do this podcast. I am going to go to Cleveland and I'll get a different coach. So LeBron is actually trying to get two coaches hired right now. Is that actually his way of finally giving back to the coaching community? I mean, that would be, well, no.

Because he also got two coaches fired. If that's the case, yeah, but he's like, it's kind of.

He's trying to restore his karma by getting two coaches hired in the same cycle. He's a job.

Creator Yeah, well, yeah, but again, he's getting the two coaches hired because he got.

Two coaches fired. Wait, what other coach? Hypothetically? Oh, and Bickerstaff, and.

BICKERSTAFF Yes, correct. So he's, he is creating new jobs, but he's also eliminating old jobs.

So he's, he's actually net, he's carbon neutral, carbon neutral, but again.

None of this might happen, none of this. So, uh, but it's fun, but it's fun to think about. But J.B. Bickerstaff Probably, I think that Choms has something like this ready to go for every team. Now that gets bounced, I'm going to be disappointed if either, you know, if the the Nuggets, uh, beat the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves get bounced.

It wasn't going to work. Rudy if I were Rudy Gobert or Carl Anthony Towns. I'd like pull a fire alarm tonight, trying to just extend the series because I feel like it's going to go with.

That no, you gotta be a source, you gotta be the one, you gotta have your narrative out there.

Uh, we actually, we should. We should release that. This podcast is splitting up and see if Choms just posts an article. Imagine if we just did that and it was just all Hank's quotes like.

What the fuck, dude? Yeah, why did you do this? That'd be good late night recordings.

They're not even alluding to it, they're just saying it, Charles Barkley's like, I think it's.

I think we're done. Yeah, the show's over. It's very sad. I hope they do a gone fishing for.

Themselves? Yeah, it sucks, because it seems like it's I actually have a take. I love Ernie Johnson, he's awesome.

Probably keep going, probably, but Ernie Johnson is the perfect, perfect for that show, and I love everyone's talking about him like he is a he is a turner lifer.

Turner Company till the day he dies. Yeah, like Ernie, it's okay to not be a Turner. Lifer. Let us keep enjoying the show that you've built and has been phenomenal, like no one's going to be like.

Oh man, why? how'd you turn your back on? Turner? Yeah, so I guess it all depends on on what either network or service gets the NBA and who they can hire. I'm pretty sure it's NBC, I think it's NBC.

Jake, you walked, you walked yourself into that one, you literally just were like, Hey guys.

Here, let me put the ball on the tee. Tariko's a great guy. Yeah, let me put the ball on the tee.

Okay, great broadcaster, even better human being. Randy Moss Oh, yeah.

Florio I'd like to see Florio do it for a day. He'd be so upset, he'd be like, you guys are.

Talking in hypotheticals, get back to the facts. No, Florio would throw out some of his little NBA fit. Yeah, you're right, we actually do need to unleash Mike Florio's brain on the NBA.

That would be fun, okay, I take it back, Florio would be perfect for that show, okay?

So, oh sorry, Hank, we covered it. Congrats Hank, your Celtics cakewalk in our defense.

We don't know whether you're going to show up to the show anymore, so we have no idea if you're sitting here. This is Ai, hank, hank. The Celtics, it was a good one, the Cavs fought hard.

Morris career game Yeah, there was, you know, they, they. They were close for the first three quarters. Celtics closed it out, almost covered.

Games, that's what you're, you're winning series four to one, pretty good. There are going to be some hiccup games, for sure. And we talked about Jalen and Jason, kind of going after each other with the chest slap, do you see?

Day in, in these off days, just thousand, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 free throws, just wait, put a lot of free. What about his left hand? That's okay, that's a little bit of an overrated thing.

I'm worried about our free throws making, so are you worried a little bit about Jerry O'Connell? Bing Bong, Bong, Bong bong, Henry, Bing bong No, I love Jerry.

Uh, here you go, our our uh friend Kirk tweeted this, Uh, the other day. Kirk Minahan, Uh, you walk around with this in your back pocket. 87 Lakers path to the finals. They beat a 37, 40 and 45 Sons team of 42 and 40 Nuggets team and a 36 and 46 Sonics team. Just go around and say that, have that in the card, who cares?

Front of you half the finals does not matter. That's the perfect thing for Kirk to put out there, too. It's like a 1980s team. Yeah, right.

Magic Johnson's title there. Nope, no one says that, right? So who cares?

Hurt anymore? No, he's, he's still very hurt. So um, they they put up a great graphic last night, it was the Big Ben graphic. He is the new Big Ben.

I think the teeth are, you gotta get that checked out. Yeah, the teeth, the teeth is bad.

Teeth pain is bad, I are from teeth, I think he got, he got hit in his teeth. It's not like it's.

A toothache If you have a toothache, you can't do anything. No, but he had a triple double. Uh, he looked awesome. Hey, you okay?

That's a grind, or do you mean drown? It's a grind, it's a grind. Hank almost drowned, drinking.

Body armor. Uh, we're good. The Thunder. After game four, I was like, Oh, they earned their stripes, they're back to not having any stripes anymore. Because besides Shea Gildershow Alexander, they look like the moment is too big.

Point shooting the last two games has been atrocious and they're not going to win this series. If they shoot 25 from three, they have to, they have to be lights out from three and.

Then they can win. I don't think they're dead yet. No, but they just they, they. They have not had anyone besides Shea Gildershow. Alexander in the Last, like Jalen Williams is, is one of their best players. He needs to step up. Like, stop pump faking.

Dangerous hank. Their defense is really good. yeah, I hope they can beat the Nuggets. I think they're good.

Have all their role. Players are stepping up in, like big P.J. Washington has been great, he didn't have. he had 10 points on on a Wednesday night, but like Derek Jones has been awesome. That block and then dunk sequence with like two minutes left, which basically the game was over, but it was like that was the dagger.

You think they have a chance against the Nuggets on, I know, think if Luca blacks out every game.

But or Kyrie? But that's a chance. That's the beauty of the N.B.A. playoffs if you have a worse.

Chance than the Timberwolves? Worse, I think a worse chance. I think there's definitely a high likelihood. In fact, I think it's probably going to happen. Where either Luca or Kyrie, maybe both of them have one game where they just go insane and they win a game. I don't think it's going to be a sweep.

Nuggets and six nuggets and seven. I think they have might have a better chance just because of the Luka factor. Anytime you have a guy like Luca, who is a superstar and you're like, if he.

Just plays Suck it off Anthony Anderson after game one and two always superstars, so much better than Jason. Oh wow, okay, so now we know, uh, the, I mean, the suck off fest was insane.

And well, yeah, the nuggets. Well, I know where to be. I already know whether the wolves are dead or not. Uh, cause you listened to the beginning of the show. I I, Okay, they're dead.

An underrated part of a show was when we asked Hank how it went between the Nuggets and the Timberwolves when we recorded in studio. And we're. He was like, bad, like, What do you mean? Just bad, It was, it was bad.

You don't think Luca, though, it's a long shot, but Luca is one in that group of guys that it's like, if he just goes insane, anything can happen. Yeah, I mean, Kyrie's kind of in there, too, I do.

His ceiling is, I hope he does okay. Yeah, I think that the Nuggets have even like four of those guys where if they have, they're capable of having incredible nights and when they do, they're probably going to win.

Uh, okay, hockey. The Avs fought back, people said that I was, there was been injuries with the Avs and I was wrong to say. To crown the Stars, I still think the Stars are gonna win this series.

I said that I said, look out for the AVS, but my opinion is solely based on spitting chicklets.

Yeah, that's right. That was pre pre, uh, playoffs opinion. I know it was pre this series. Oh okay, before the series.

Best team, Yeah, stars are, but but also these two teams like this, whoever wins the series might. They're probably going to be the favorite to come out of the West, yeah.

We should talk about the N.FL schedule release. we finally have the schedule release. I have a real old man yells at Cloud Take. I think Hank agrees with me. I don't know where you are.

PFT Are you talking about teams getting too cute with it? I'm talking about the entire thing.

I'm talking about the leaks, I'm talking about the intentional leaks, the unintentional leaks, the release of the release of the schedule. I'm kind of over all of it. I w. I actually wish the NFL would go to a system where we don't even know when it's coming out. And it's just a random Tuesday afternoon.

Schedule for what? Seven hours? So what we have to do is we have to have fake releases that come out so that way you you can't trust in the leaks that you see. But or just I'm saying, like, 11.

O'clock, like, if, if, if Schefter hadn't tweeted this last week. And I know they have to make it entertainment, they have to make a TV show. I get it, it's never going to change, but I think it would rock if at like 11 o'clock on this this week Tuesday. You just got a tweet from the NFL being like, schedules are out, go check your schedule out now. It's like, Holy shit.

From a fan perspective, also, it would be electric if they just announced next week schedule during that break between the afternoon games and Sunday night football. Yeah, we said the selection show, so just. But it's every week, every week you get to determine, you get to figure out who you're playing the next week. Then then you have. Like, even if you lose your game on Sunday and you're depressed because your team just lost, you get to have something to look forward to.

Well, what it is? I was on, uh, with, uh, our guys Randy and Bill today on Pittsburgh Radio, and we were talking about the schedule release and how it's gotten so crazy. It's essentially the NFL. It just, uh, has stepped on our drugs so much and we just keep taking it. They're like, Hey, we're going to, just we're going to. We're going to make you watch the release in the middle of May. Hey, we're going to make you watch Friday football in Brazil.

Like, Yeah, fine, we'll take it, I'll take all, give it to us, I'll take all of it, yeah.

On that cause, the N.FL is doing really, really good, actually from that moment on, it's gotten.

Like, so much bigger and also hogs are delicious. Yes, I eat a hog. I don't eat a pig slugger slaughtering hogs.

We're going to keep consuming that shit, right? Like, I'm, I hate being in the spot where I'm like, Oh, this is too much, because it's just the being the cynical guy sucks. But it just felt.

A little too much, I feel like. In the past, it was a team force this year, where it seemed like there was a mandate from every team to try and do something really creative. In the past, it was like some teams just released their schedules.

Chargers, obviously are the gold standard. I the Titans did something great last year and like, let's run it back, I love that. Yeah, that's fine, like it worked.

Like, I, it's because there's 32 of them and they all come out at the exact same time, right, like.

I you, you were in the Cowboys when I was in the Packers one, I didn't understand the Packers.

One way at all. It's such a sad thing for this podcast that our biggest rivals just call us up and they're like, Hey, hey, you guys are such losers that we want to use your face in our.

Marketing initiative The Cowboys One. Though, like they used to, I didn't understand I was, I was getting confused because they used they did. Two people per game, no, some of them.

No, we play so. The Commanders play against the Cowboys twice, and so they had me and R.G. three. I went first, no big deal.

They had, like, someone Jerry Jones calling someone from the lines, and right after Tim and Post, Malone calling someone from the lines. My personal friend post Yeah, uh, it was, it was. It was a little. it was a little confusing, yeah.

Videos out there I made no sense watching for you being like, Please show up soon. It was Joe Buck and me back to back. It was, uh, I was thinking about a PFT because I wrestled with it.

Be involved with. But at the same time, it was like the cowboys are just. They know that they have dominated the commanders recently and they want me to be the face of losers and I'm happy.

To do that, I was negotiating with the Packers, uh, like it was a terrorist negotiation because they hit me up and immediately I said, No. And they're like, Well, let us just send you the idea. They sent me the idea and I was like, I'm not going to do it like this.

To play the Cowboys a little game? Oh, no, the cowboys, Oh, I can't believe that. I. I put on my Dan Quinn backwards hat and I was like, we got your leader. They edited that out.

Smart on their part, but yeah, I think they edited out me, saying, I hope Jordan Love gets.

Hit by a bus. Yeah, it's probably smart. Listen, we're going to fight fire with fire. Iron sharpens iron. We made your team work a little bit harder for that release.

Good, next year we should probably make our own cheesy schedule release part of my take.

Schedule is Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Friday. I also they used to film during the day.

I don't know, it was definitely not a prime time, like every team was like tonight, eight o'clock teaser. Like they, they, they over-hyped it.

I know I hate being, I just really hate, because it was a fun thing where you're, right, Hank. It was the perfect mix of like, say, half the league just released their schedule and half the league tried something. Now everyone's trying something, and so many of them don't hit.

This is weird. They're going to do it, they're going to end up doing it like, staggered where, okay? NFC East, all their teams released a schedule at 7 p.m. Yeah.

Going to be like the bracket show. Yeah, this is, you know, my first real season, just accepting being a huge loser fan. Oh, you're actually accepting it? Yeah, no, it's, it's. It's going to be a long season.

DRAKE MAYS Like, First long bomb will be the highlight of your year. Yeah, but no Hank's.

Right, it's going to be like, you know, we. We had four losing seasons in a row, but you know what, we won. The internet, people were telling us we won the internet. Sir, oh, you are a loser now.

I know, yeah, that is the biggest loser thing, cause I've been there, I know.

Fantasizing about, like, wide receiver, free agents? Yeah, yeah, I mean, we're, we're going to be.

Looking at tank or not tanking, but like, it's going to be, I'll be watching college football.

Probably closer than ever before this year, I thought that the Panthers should have had David Tepper. Just walking around up to people that were wearing different, like different strangers. Wearing hats of all their teams and going up and taking their hats off them, and then showing it to the camera. Week one, Yeah, that would have been good, throwing drinks.

You just threw a drink in someone's face and then the logo came up. Yeah, I like that, too. Uh, as for the actual schedule, we had the top, top 10 easiest schedules this year, uh, which I guess we kind of knew because we already knew the opponents. But falcons, chargers, bears, jets, saints, memes.

Has the, Uh, has the FBI reached out to you yet? Memes not yet. Cause. Only if he gets season ending injury then.

Game if, if I'm just saying, if 49 is a really fucking good. And the Jets do, I think they have six primetime games, but they also do start with the easier schedule. The Bears start. We don't play a division game until week 10..

Months no primetime, though. What do you mean? Or no? Like, I guess they have the London and.

Well, no. Week two Sunday night football against C.J. Stroud in Texas. Is there any other primetime, though? Yeah, there's a month. The Bears have a Monday night football game against the Vikings and they have London, and then Thursday night against the Seahawks and Lions. Thanksgiving Day.

The flex scheduling become more complicated this off season because they put out the rules for like which games can be flexed. It felt like there were like, I don't know, like four or five different scenarios where it's like, I'm not sure. Week six through 10 you can do, this week's 11 through 17 you can do two of these unless one is taken earlier. It was, it was very complicated.

All the time, Yeah, yeah, I agree. Um, we and the the three of us play in a little round. Robin, you don't play the Patriots, right?

AFC Uh, North teams in that in the hardest schedule because they're all very good. The last nine weeks for the Steelers are absolutely brutal. Yeah, so the last nine weeks for the Steelers. The Commanders, the Ravens, the Browns, the Bengals, the Browns, the Eagles, the Ravens, the Chiefs, the the Bengals. Again, yeah.

By far. And this is the fun time where everyone goes through their schedule and they're like, Oh, this is a realistic thing. And guess what? All of it is going to be irrelevant by week two. Yep.

That's true, that's true, this is how we pass the time in the off season, right? And the NFL is also using the Chiefs as like their big experiment.

Time, that's what I'm saying. They're they step on our drugs, but they give us a little bit of.

The chiefs, a little bit of the chiefs. And you've got the swifties that are going to be signing up for all these streaming services. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that most swifties out there they're, they're well acquainted with all the streaming services, yeah.

Going to see Harrison Bucker? Yeah, Harrison Bucker, he's quite something, he's something.

It was weird that he did that at a college commencement to be like, Hey, uh, your most important role is actually going to be just being a homemaker, so you should do that. Uh, also, just as his whole vibe. I'd never really gotten a good look at Harrison Bucker before. He looks exactly like the guy from the meme that just says yes all the time, yeah.

Because he appreciates what that guy stands for, he also has got some weird, uh, like, almost like.

He could be a civil war general. Beard going, Yeah, Uh, you remember that? was it? General Andrew Luck? Yes.

If you're bad from homes, you have to be a little pissed here, right? Like your kicker shouldn't be making headlines. Yep, that's just a fact, I agree.

Being in controversies whatsoever, do you think the, uh, the 49ers kicker said something slightly less problematic, like 10 minutes before Harrison Bucker got on stage? Yeah, that would be great.

But yeah, that was a I never thought Harrison Bucker debates would be how we spend an entire.

Week also, just his name has butt in it. Yeah, so that's fun, he's probably, that's probably.

What he's overcompensating for? Yeah, yeah, something there. I mean that with the beard, the the, the speech, the name, the kicker position he's, it feels like he's like, Hey, Harrison, it's okay, man.

Be confident in yourself. Nothing says masculinity like a like a kicker who met his wife in middle school band practice.

Them, but yeah, you can let other people live their life, how they want to live their life. Uh, and again, it was a kicker. Yeah, kicker taking is a really good kicker.

Kickers but all offense. Do you think you're going to have again? Back to the Swifties? They're going to be tuning in, they're rooting for the Chiefs, they're probably going to hate this fucking guy. He actually quoted Taylor Swift earlier in the commencement speech, which is, if he did that, that's on purpose.

They might actually, the Swifties might try to get the Chiefs, like, disbanded. Yeah, yeah, that's if you're a Chiefs fan, if you're a Taylor Swift, a recently made Chiefs fan who was started as a Swifty. You have a lot of questions and, honestly, a lot of looking in the mirror.

Because we do have a lot of swifties that listen to the show, we've all. We've been pretty fair and balanced. I think about talking about her, Uh, really. If Travis does not demand a trade from the Chiefs. It tells you a lot about his personal values, that he's willing to tolerate a teammate, teammate like that. Because terrible things happen when good people remain silent. And so far, I haven't heard anything from Travis Kelsey about this. I'm going to say this, right?

Now, uh, I officially will never sign with the Kansas City chiefs as long as Harrison Bucker's on the team. Wow, yeah, powerful.

It, it's very powerful, I refuse. It's very powerful. You got to stand up for it.

To stand up for something, I'm standing up for the women, stand up for something, I'm standing up for all the swifties you'll fall for anything.

Man standing up, holding his arms out, like Jesus Christ, who else will stand up? I'll stand up with?

You let's go, I'll stand up with your big cat, we're standing up for the swifties. I'm pretty.

Tired? Yes, that's understandable. Yeah, okay.

See, they put the Chiefs in Buffalo the same week that Taylor Swift is performing in Toronto. I did not see that two hour drive away. People are saying that was done on purpose.

Oh, wow, that might be a bridge too far if they did that on purpose. If we're bending the schedule around. Taylor Swift If that's actually something that's happening, that might be too far for me.

Yeah, but they said it's coincidence we get accused of glazing a certain person a lot. But I'll say that we forgot to mention that his video was very funny as well. Did you guys see it?

Yeah, Josh, he went to the pit, he went to the pit, he lived in the pit. the pit is great.

Had very good comedic timing. The pit knows all. What is the pit where they're building the new stadium? Oh.

Lighthouse Except it's much, much cooler, yeah, and it's an actual pit, it's basically.

Woodstock. That's where they sacrifice someone before every game, correct? that's where people.

It's like a siren song that lures tailgaters from Bill's Mafia to just go down to the pit and check it out. Correct? And then that one guy went down there and shit all over himself, Yeah, I like.

That, yeah, okay, let's get to our interviews. We got Randy Moss and then we've got Pat Connaughton in studio.

Oh, one other thing with the schedule release, did you see the hardcore porn that was on X last night? Yeah, oh yeah, in all the replies.

That's a fact. Hank, you got that on the list, okay? And there was a lot of butthole there.

Was Butthole, are you expecting us not to not to see the butthole? I saw it, I just didn't.

That's just what Twitter is now. Like, I didn't think twice about it. There's nudes in profile.

I get that there's pussy in bio, No, I feel like in some of the like.

When I go looking for, like, Drake and Kendrick, stuff, like the shit that's in there.

People getting pounded. yeah, straight up pounded.

We get to Randy Moss. This podcast is brought to you by eHarmony, the dating app to find someone you can be yourself with. Have you ever been on a date where it feels like the other person is speaking an entirely different language, not actually a different language? But it's like, you're both just completely not getting each other. I've been on a first date before with a woman that didn't like golf.

Randy Moss Okay.

I left my phone on the rental car bus at BWI Airport, someone put it in their pocket and I tracked them all the way to Pleasanton, California. I've got their address, I've got their name, but no luck, so I had to get a new phone.

Okay, so you want us to roll up on them? Yeah, we can roll up.

Please do okay, I'll send you their address when we get off the air here.

Okay, so you're joining us from the it looks like the paddock right there behind where the UM. Yes, we have a lot of questions. Should we start with the secretariat stuff, well?

Yeah, I know we're just going to ask who you're not. I don't think we've ever asked you before who your goat is. Who's the goat in horse racing? Is it man of war or is it flight?

Line Well, look, it's impossible to say because you're comparing horses of different generations is so fraught with peril. All I can do is just say all right of the horses that I've seen in my lifetime, right? Not necessarily in person, but you know, the Secretariat, it would be, the Goat, would definitely be the Goat, and, you know, flight line. Spectacular bid. There was other horses that had a tremendous amount of ability, American Pharaoh, but Secretariat did so many things during his two year career that he would be the Goat.

Randy, is there a bird inside of your phone right now?

Okay, right behind me is the hedge. That's where all the birds are.

All right, we should walk away from there because it sounds like it's inside of your phone.

The yellow you see behind me, right there is Mystic Dan's saddle Town. Mystic Dan, the Derby winner, is right back in there. This is the freakiest barn.

Okay, can we say, yeah, walk, walk away from the hedges? Uh, that. But we see, I know you, you did it for us because you wanted us to see Mystic Dan. But it sounds like a bird climbed into your phone.

Okay, can we just can we just say congratulations to Mystic dan Real Quick?

Oh yeah, okay, there you go. wait, hang on. Let's say congratulations to Mystic Dan.

All right, he's a good boy. give him a boop. Oh, there you go. Oh there he is.

Mystic Dan Oh, that's a butt crack. Is that Mystic Dan? Mystic Dan's showing a lot of ass? I didn't know.

That was a great, that was a great five seconds of PMT history right there.

There you go, that was, uh, that was something that you'd seen. Yeah, that's something you'd seen. A reply to a scheduled release on Twitter, right there.

So to secretariat, all right, he did steroids. Okay, that's, yeah, that's a firestorm of.

Controversy here right now through Jason Kelsey. And then I weighed in as well. Uh, there's no way to know for a fact, right? Although, you know, look, steroids were rampant in thoroughbred racing in the 1970s. I'm told in the 1980s, I know in the nineties, I know in the two thousands, I know all the way up until, let's say, Big Brown in 2008..

BondS Yeah, the records will still stand. He was, he was going up against some shady competition at the time. But he was far and away the best baseball player that I've ever seen. And so nothing should change that.

Yeah, cause I was ready to go to war. It's almost sacrilegious, right? People think to say anything that could be construed as negative about secretariat, but it's just, you know, you have to.

Be honest about this stuff, Yeah, yeah, the birds are back. Do you want to walk closer to the parking lot?

Okay, look, he got what we call in horse racing a perfect trip in the Kentucky Derby. He was sitting on the rail all the way around, he got through on the inside. At the top of the stretch, he ran a shorter distance than the competition, but he also had the acceleration. Had the guts to go through a tight hole when, when the time came.

He ran the perfect race, It's unlikely that he'll have a perfect race that unfolds in front of him again. That makes total sense to me. So what about the bumping down the stretch that you talked?

About what happened there, okay, uh, we all knew, and we talked about this on the telecast, uh, several times. Sierra Leone, the horse that finished second in the Derby, has a longstanding habit of, uh, veering to his left as he comes down the stretch, right.

Number up and didn't disqualify. So what's the process for that? Is there any accountability? Have people asked them about it, like, why didn't you at least take another look at it?

You know, there could be accountability with the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission if there was a challenge by the connections of the Japanese horse, which is unlikely to happen. I think it's a cultural thing, they feel like they're guests in this country. After the running of the race, the jockey of Forever, Young Sakai, who speaks no English, had a conversation with the other Japanese jockey in the race on T.O Password, who finished fifth. Who does speak some English? As they were walking back to the jock's room about claiming foul.

It, yeah, okay, well, hopefully we don't have something similar. And look, there was 70,.

There was 75, I'm sorry to interrupt you. There was $75 million dollars wagered on Exactas, trifectas and superfectas in the Kentucky Derby, in which the second and third place order of finish was paramount. Yeah, it was a $500,000 difference, I believe in purse money between the second and the third place finishers, so it was an expensive gaffe. Maybe everyone just.

Boxed it. And that's why there weren't people upset, yeah, and that could be the reason.

It seems like the Japanese trainers are being too polite. There's a lot of gamblers in America that aren't known for being super polite about that sort of thing. Maybe a class action lawsuit?

Against the Kentucky Derby? Well, I mean, look, they're extremely lucky. I don't know if it's just 150th anniversary, karma or whatever. You know, this is a mini-controversy because it involves the winter. Mystic Dan You haven't read much about this in the media or anything like that.

So we talked about the photo finish and how electric the photo finish is, and we were like, what did they do before there was a photo finish? Big Cat brought up a good point, which is that he thinks that probably the photo finish was invented for horse racing. The photograph started just for horse racing, for gamblers. So before there was a photo finish was there just one guy up in a stand with binoculars and whatever, he said, that would be the winner.

Three guys placing judges is what they're known as, and they still exist in thoroughbred racing for other purposes generally. But if in the event that the photo finish camera malfunctions in some way, then it's the placing judges that will determine between the three of them. What the?

Correct order of finish was Wow, that's cool, fast eyes, Okay, so let's talk about the preakness. So you said, bet against mystic Dan.

Us all right, so we've established that. At least I think that Mystic Dan is going to be overbet and so therefore, and for all the other reasons, that he's a bet against. Okay, it's very evenly matched between Mystic Dan Imagination. Who's the other Bob Baffert remaining horse? Muth got sick. He would have been the favorite in the race and so he's not going to run.

But at least he's in there, okay, I feel like we ask you this every time. But what's a long shot that we could have, finishing second or third if we want to get spicy with it with a trifecta?

Or something just steel, I think, would probably be the spiciest long shot in there. Look, he ran terribly in the Kentucky Derby, but leaving the starting gate, he got bounced around a lot at the start. His young jockey, Keith Asmussen stepped on the gas, coming down the stretch the first time. And the horse rushed up and was involved in a fairly swift early pace and then completely backed out. Wayne Lucas, the trainer, didn't like the ride, changing jockeys to Joel Rosario.

To hit the board at a pretty good price, okay? And now the black-eyed Susan on Friday, which everyone should watch, Randy will be on the call. I mean, you nailed the oaks.
