Okay, let's go.
Toy.
Toy.
Now in the street, there is violence.
And there's lots of work to be done.
No place to hang out or wash in.
And I can't blame all on the sun.
Oh, no, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher. Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue. It's part of my take, presented by Barstool Sports.
Welcome to part of my take. Today is Wednesday, March 29th and Pft. The day has come, even though Hank gave a little side eye when I said it, The day has come. The Washington Commanders have found a new owner.
Congratulations to you. We all dressed up in suits for it.
I dressed up, I wore black to stunt on my biggest hater at his funeral. Fuck you Dan Snyder, I fucking hate you. I'm not done with you yet.
I want you arrested, I want you to die in prison, but I'll take you selling the team for now. I almost cried when I heard the news, I didn't think I was gonna get emotional about it.
But the fact is that what Dan Snyder has done to Washington, D.
C.
The entire community for the past 25 years is nothing short of criminal when this dude bought the team.
1998 Whenever it was, we were pumped, it was like when he was going to be our Mark Cuban. Yeah, he bought the team and everyone was like, we got this young, flashy billionaire owner not afraid to spend money. Awesome dude.
Probably chill with the fans. He went out there, he spends money, right, he gets Deion Sanders, he basically treats it like his fantasy team.
He gets Mark Carrier, he gets all sorts of guys around Jeff George. Right off the bat, we were stocked up, ready to go, won a playoff game our first year.
And then we slowly got introduced to who the real Dan Snyder was. And to call him a piece of shit is actually doing a disservice to actual pieces of shit out there. He's lower than a piece of actual cow excrement and what he's done over the last 25 years, the commanders, the Redskins. At the time, it was like the one thing that held Washington, D.C. together and made a community.
Sundays, people would stop whatever they're doing. The Redskins were a big deal, we were a model franchise. Everyone loved the team. And to see him tear that away from the entire community over the past 25 years. Through just being a real asshole, like a real, real asshole.
Sure, he's a Jerk.
Not as he.
There are tons of incompetent owners out there. But he's a world-class asshole and to see what he's done to that community in the past 25 years has been awful. He took away my love of football for a brief period of time, I think a lot of people in D..C. he took away their love of the sport of football.
And you love football, and I love football, despite everything that he's done to try to make me not love football. And I always thought, like, If you would give me truth serum, we've been talking about Snyder on the show for seven years right now. And if you would give me truth serum? I would have said. In my deepest, darkest portions of my mind, I actually think that I'm going to die before Dan Snyder sells the team.
He's a billionaire, he's going to be drinking endocrine, he's going to be drinking what's the stuff that adrenochrome?
Adrenochrome that the billionaires drink.
Cracking baby skulls.
Right by the neck, sucking them down like they're Faygo. I thought that Snyder would outlive me and that I would die with Dan Snyder still owning the team.
And the fact that he's selling the team to Magic Johnson? awesome. Yeah, so happy to have Magic Johnson on board. I didn't think that it was ever going to happen and like, it is one of the best days of my life.
Washington Capitals Stanley Cup is day number one of my sports life.
Nationals World Series probably number two, and then I would put Dan Snyder selling the team No.
The day we got Barstow-Vantok.
Yeah, that was a good day in my sports life. Fuck it, I'm going to put this number one. Okay, I think this is better. I think this is a better day because it opens up the entire future of my football fandom.
I get to love.
You know what I actually hope happens? I hope that. Josh Harris rails and Magic Johnson. I hope they buy the team. And I hope they're like, you know what, this name sucks, the commander sucks, nobody cares about it.
Hogs. And then I hope they say, Okay. We need a year to figure out what the end name of the team is going to be. So we're going to go back to the football team for a year and then the year after that they announce the new team name. Hogs would be great.
Red hogs would be awesome.
Red hogs, just the hogs, whatever it is. Commanders, see ya bitch Dan Snyder, bye bitch, retire bitch. I hope you die in prison.
And we're going to throw a parade, I'm in touch with my people in D.C. we're going to do a parade celebrating Dan Snyder out.
It's, I mean, it's incredible, new stadium, new name, new franchise, everything.
Bring it back to D.C.
So the exact tweet from Adam Schefter was the Josh Harris-Mitchell-Rails group, which now includes.
Oh, he has a typo in here.
Includes Magic. Johnson officially has submitted a fully financed bid that meets Dan Snyder's $6 billion asking price, per source. Now, Hank, I saw you scoff at it.
Are you not a good friend? I'm a great friend.
To who?
To you, to you, love you. Pft. Obviously, we're wearing the suits, you know, I'm more on the business floor.
I literally put it on because I saw this tweet. Yeah, like, you know, I've been around a deal or two in my day and I think nothing's official until it's signed. Yeah, that's my only concern, especially PFT. Is the boy who cried wolf with this situation, so it's like,....
When the amount of times I've walked in the studio and you're like, Yes, did you see like Dan Snyder selling the team? like, Oh my God, like, did you see like the commanders?
Like, you know, Dan Snyder's gone.
So until I see the picture of Magic Johnson in, you know, in Washington, signing the paper new owner, that's when it's official. In my mind, it's actually a great lesson for the show that just came back on Sunday. Succession, the show. That's about deal making, that I don't think we've ever seen a deal actually get made.
No, we haven't.
No, it's been four years of dudes sitting in a conference room or a really sick hotel or a private airplane being like, Well, we just gotta. We gotta tickle the belly a little bit and get this deal done. And no, no deal ever gets made. So I love PFT. I just don't want to see him get hurt again.
The Washington Commanders franchise has been run like succession. If everybody involved was Kieran Colkin's character, yeah, which is all sending dick pictures to each other all the time.
They're just jerking off to their older, uh, co-workers.
Hank, I just I, you're wrong about this one, it's done, you're wrong, Hank. As Big Cat said, The bad man's gone, the bad man's gone.
This has been an awesome month for part of my take. Just slaying our enemies.
And I listen, I'm fully supporting PFT. He didn't fully support me when Aaron Rodgers was gone, even though he's gone.
Support the man. I will, once it's signed, be a good friend.
He's gone, I'm trying to help him, I'm trying to prepare him. He's gone, he's gone.
We did it, we did it, Joe.
He's gone. One tweet Yeah, that's from Adam Shetler. What if the what if the finances are fucked up? what if they go into?-.
No, it's fully financed, they already said, finance taken care of.
No, but like, what if they look into the commanders and they're like, Oh, wait, this is not worth $6 billion.
Well, it's definitely not, we're out. There's definitely some fuzzy math behind the scenes.
I don't like the energy Hank's putting out in the world.
Do you guys understand now you're being a hater? How many deals do you get done? Plenty?
And then list all your deals. I can't, that's confidential. Okay, all right, Max.
Car sick? Mid five figures? Yeah, max deals.
Josh Harris is the face of this new ownership group, the biggest name, the first name listed. It just occurred to me, actually because of Hank's-.
Also, Dave Sutter hasn't accepted the bid. No, it's met his-.
It's met his asking price.
But what's getting-?
All right now, Hank is starting to get in my head because I'm thinking like, Whoa?
What's getting me nervous now? What's getting me very nervous now?-?
Like eBay, you can make a bid.
Is that-?
But they have to accept it. We should find a super cut of every time PFT is like, it's over.
That would be funny. What's getting me?-?
It's been three years.
It's been first and goal.
PFT. I'm trying to stay strong for you, but Hank's starting to fucking get in my head here.
What's making me nervous is that, what if this is another Schaefter prank on me? Oh man, he's in my head.
He did do the spell check that'd be ruthless, or he did have the spelling error, yeah.
Yeah, he's in my head. As a Sixers fan, Josh Harris is also the owner of the Sixers and the Devils. Can you give me a scouting report on Josh Harris?
Two teams currently in free fall shut the fuck up hank, free fall, shut the I'm on Max's team now.
Free falls.
I mean, we're basically brothers in arms right now with owners.
Well, no.
Yeah.
No, because like this will get into a situation where if you own two teams, like, which one does he care about more? He's from the situation with the White Sox and Bulls, like, you got to have a favorite child.
He's also his third team.
Right, well, I would assume Devils are not his favorite child. Yeah, true. So what will be his favorite child?
He's from D.
C.
But what will be his favorite child?
I think the hometown boy, okay.
All right, good, good, I'm rooting for you. So now Max, though, will be upset because Max money that's going into the commanders will be coming out of the Sixers.
That's how it works.
The bottom line is, it can't be worse. I would have taken anybody you could. I think you threw out Putin to me as a suggestion, like six months ago, give me Vlad. At least he dominates-.
He would spend the money.
At least he dominates the East.
Yeah, and he also would be a sick quarterback because no one would tackle him.
That's true. I would have taken literally anybody on planet Earth over Dan Snyder, I don't care who it is.
So it's big news. I'm happy for you, thank you. We're all wearing suits. The other big news, which we'll talk to with Stav in length in a minute, here is Lamar. Jackson demanded a trade as of March 2nd.
If you missed it. Credit to all of the NFL reporters that quote-tweeted Lamar Jackson's tweet, saying Lamar Jackson has asked for a trade as of March 2nd. Just looking for automatic retweets on someone else, actually Lamar Jackson himself, saying what the deal was? But yeah, we now have Lamar Jackson news around the news cycle of Lamar Jackson.
Yeah, and apparently nobody has asked to even inquire about what it would take to.
Which is weird. There's some dark horses out there, some stalking horses, some unnamed bidders. Yes, that we'll get into STAVI with that a little bit about, but it's been a really weird saga for Lamar in Baltimore.
And it feels like there's a chance they don't have to trade him. If they don't want to, they don't. But it also sounds like Lamar is not going to play on the transition tag. So we could end up being in a situation where Lamar comes back to the Ravens and just doesn't play at all next year.
Which would suck, which would suck for everybody, for everyone. But who knows, a lot of stuff can happen between now and the start of camp.
And he released the news, perfect timing, when John Harbaugh was getting in front of a microphone at the owner's meeting. We had the classic coach's picture, which is still the funniest thing in the world, that they just trot out a bunch of like, gruntled middle-aged N.FL coaches. And be like, stare directly in the sun and all of you take a picture like your friends.
It was very funny. My favorite of that whole group was the combo of McVeigh and Lefleur sitting next to each other, looking like they had just been partying. Whoa.
And Sean Payton just laying dong Sean Payton's cock was, Oh, I didn't see that. Oh yeah, he. Not only he had a seat for himself and his cock, because he made Ron Rivera scoot over to basically sit in two seats.
I'm going to have to look at the. I didn't do a deep dive into it. Yeah, I zoomed in on the center of the picture and then I was like.
Yeah, check it out Sean Payton's Laying Dong.
This picture to come out because that's that's what I said. I watched it already.
Andy Reed sitting where I broke down, but Andy Reed had his hands on his knees, which I feel bad for Andy Reed. Because any big guy knows, having your arms forward is just a terrible look, you need to have them behind the person next to you. But he and Belichick sitting front and center, good to see Belichick in the picture. Hank, I feel like he hasn't been in the picture and for a long time, I know he knows he's getting Lamar.
So he's excited.
Oh, oh yeah, Payton's got a hog.
And he basically was like, Rivera scoot over. I need some room for my dick.
Yeah, that's the horse cock. That's why the Broncos won.
It was the whole picture was great because also Dennis Allen, if you notice, he's the only one wearing a credential. Cause I think he was like, I have to prove that I'm actually the head coach of the Saints now that Shane Sean Payton's back.
And then the only other big one you can go check out my blog. But table, table, oh table, looks like an actual meatball.
Table looks like he's in Goodfellas right now.
Yeah, no, he's, I said, he got the track suit on, he's just waiting for sopranos to come back so he can do a cameo with them. Nick Sirianni wasn't there, though. I think he probably was like, everyone's going to talk about the fact that I cried before the Super Bowl, that I lost.
Yeah, there's that.
So he didn't show up.
Uh, Dan Campbell, Dan Campbell could beat the fuck out of anybody in this picture.
Dan Campbell doesn't own an iron Dan Campbell doesn't own an iron. Also, no one ever told him in his life that wearing the uh uh shirt you buy off the rack and you have it unbuttoned, and it's a dress shirt and it's down to your knees. This is a ridiculous look, but I don't think anyone should tell Dan Campbell that because he would probably punch him in the face.
Kevin O'Connell's fucking huge, that was the other takeaway. Kevin O'Connell standing next to Dan Campbell. He's a monster. I didn't realize how big he is.
Big dude, I huge dude. Yeah, I got him confused for a second there.
I thought there's a couple newbies, a couple newbies.
Yeah.
He's, he's got to look, uh, Doug Peterson, looking like he's Mr. Florida right now, Doug Peterson. When he's not on a football field, he's on a golf course. Doug Peterson has not been inside for the last three years.
I, I was saying that Doug Peterson looks like a guy who, like, Uh, had a life insurance business. And he got a lucky break and a big dog bottom out. And he's like, I'm just going to go to Florida and marlin, fish and swing with my wife for the rest of my life.
He looks like the mascot for Margaritaville, yeah.
He's, he's just a vibe. The Zach Taylor line was, I laughed out loud, probably the hardest in the whole block. Oh, Zach Taylor's wearing roeback, he was promo code.
Take through 20 off, that's all I said. I was like, that's super positive dad with impeccable fashion sense, cheering on his kids at the soccer game, and it's him wearing roeback.
Yeah, and then Brandon Staley looks like, Uh, I think I said he looked like a youth church leader who kind of creeps you out. Cause he's got a look that like, Dude, just figure out, Justin Herbert, just just he's got it. Like, you don't have to be jacked, but I feel like you're going to be coaching, you know, coaching, guys.
You got to have some type, my guy Matt Eberflus has some packs, even, even, you know, even Malifornia like, you just have to have. You don't have to be like Jacked, but you have to look like you're fit, right and zach.
Or either you have to look like you're fit, or you have to have a Super Bowl ring and you can be fat, right? Brandon Staley's got, like, my physique skinny and it's like, all right, come on, remember when he did those butt yoga things?
Yeah, yeah, no, that's the, uh, the cat cow pose. Yeah, I'm zoomed in right now on on Sean Payton.
Sean Payton looks like if Macklemore was in top gun.
He also, we also had. I kind of miss on Josh McDaniels, who I think just keeps gaining 20 pounds every off season. But someone pointed out correctly that Josh McDaniels does look like a state trooper that is a little corrupt. He's got that look to him.
Like, if he pulls you over, you're like, Fuck, I'm fucked, he's going to ding me for everything.
Or, in a good way, if he pulls you over, you're like nothing. This is nothing that $500 can't fix right now, that's true. Let's say both of ourselves. A lot of paperwork, yeah.
Let me just hand you the weed and you can just take it home with you.
The funniest part about this picture is how many coaches have sunglasses that are not being worn right now.
And they always take it directly in the sun.
Yeah.
Like, they don't give them any benefits.
Arthur Smith looks like a looks like a, uh, like a baby cow. That's been kept inside of a small box his entire life and is getting to see the sun for the first time in his life.
He, he, he's given off vibes of a guy who wears jeans to the beach. That's that's, it's. It's bad I hear from any of these coaches. After you write that blog. I was thinking that yesterday, cause obviously those meetings are probably having dinner or something like, there's a there's a good chance that. Yeah, they all, they all read it together and like, and I'm curious what the feedback is, yeah.
If any, some of them are probably not happy. Um, I would imagine Brandon Staley. I basically, yeah, but he, he would have a fair gripe. And Kevin Stefanski, our friend, just wearing like, trying to be the cool guy with Jordans. Yeah, but yeah, if some of them hit me up, it's it's, you know, it's all good fun.
Yeah, we have fun with it. You could take a little roasting.
Mike McCarthy looks like his daughter's getting married to a man that he does not. He has never liked a day in his life.
No, no, he, I say that he's 90 fart in that picture. yeah, his body's just composed to fart.
He's, he's getting ready.
That was probably the meanest one, and I was like, I don't think Mike McCarthy already thinks highly of you anyway. No, no, definitely not. But I what am I going to say? Like, that guy is like, if you took, if you did the 23 and Me test, it would be like 10 Irish 90 fart.
That's it.
It looks like there's a preacher right off screen saying if anybody objects to this couple being wed, speak down. He's about to put his hands on his knees and stand right up.
He's about, he's about to just have a all out brawl with the wedding planner over the bill. Yeah, after like, a beautiful ceremony, everyone had a great time. And he's like, I didn't fucking pay for this, yeah. Who put on the ice sleuth?
Andy Reed's lost a lot of weight. Uh, everywhere, except for his legs. yeah, his legs are just still thick as ever, yeah.
That's the power, it's where the power comes from.
Revere has been working out, too.
Yeah, um, all right. So what else? We got? the, uh, a little NBA.
Uh, oh, by the way, MLB is starting. We're going to do, we do, we pick a team, that we're pick a league. oh, we can do a league.
Well, we're going to do a league on to you guys, but I don't think we fully confirmed.
Should we just do a league ourselves? That was a joke. Oh, that was a joke.
I was joking.
I don't know where.
Nevermind what? no, nevermind, nevermind, say it.
I do think if we did a league ourselves, it'd be too hard to, uh, update without it getting confusing for the listeners.
But but what can we do it publicly that people can see, maybe you big cats come out of the clouds? With a passion for fancy baseball, I was not prepared for it. I was kind of joking where I was like, Yeah, let's all do a league.
And you're like, I'll explain it to you, like you were like, why are we talking about fancy baseball? I'll explain it to you. I have less time to follow some sports, baseball being one on the cutting block. I need something where I can learn some of the other players and be like, Hey, I know some of these guys outside of the cups.
That makes sense.
90 of my baseball knowledge in the past two years has come from Strictly owning the C Med Express. Yeah, and it is good, and I fucking hate Mondesi. we're not drafting Mondesi.
That guy has a walking injury, I hate, that guy's a piece of shit.
In that case, then maybe we should all do a team, because then that would apply to all of us, right? Exactly? If we all know a little bit more about baseball, I think the podcast might get a little bit better.
There's too many names, though. I think we take it worse. I think we draft one team and that way we're all behind the same, like 15 20 guys all year, right?
How many guys are on a team? Max? I rather play you guys because I know you won't keep it up with it as much as I.
Like?
We all were on the same page, like where we're just.
All right, we're starting a league, we're starting a league for us. We're starting a league for us. There's no Awl league. No, there's six of us in the room.
We'll add Shane and Evan, so there'll be eight teams. I think you can do a league with eight teams. Our teams will be awesome, yeah.
With eight teams.
What MLB guys should we invite? Should we invite? Dan Heron Yeah.
We'll invite Dan Heron will be nine. oh, it means we nine, so Dan Heron will be 10, or we'll find it, we'll find a 10th person. And we also should do the draft after the season starts.
So we all can get a look at the teams, okay?
Can we do the thing that Max said, which was like the whole team's pitching rotation instead of individuals? Oh, I like that, yeah, because then we don't have to update it every day, okay?
Yeah, that's the thing that I've found. Like, switching out pitchers every day is where fantasy baseball becomes impossible. I like that. There is a way where it's like picking defense.
Well, we can do weekly for football, we can do weekly, yeah.
You put in your pitching staff and then that's it.
I love that, I love that, all right. So we're going to do it and the listeners are going to be better off for it.
Because essentially, what you'll get out of this is we'll say a random name every now and then, and we actually know the person.
A little bit, yeah, yeah. Can we call the league the C-Med Express?
Sure.
That's actually great.
Because we got our guy. Triggs came up with an awesome design, like a logo. Yeah, we should sell shirts with the C-Med Express on it.
And then, you know what we'll do.
Let's invite an awl, let's invite an awl to play in the league, one lucky awl gets to play with us.
Are we going to do punishments?
Yeah, we'll figure all that shit out.
So we're doing the same submission, or?
No, let's actually pick from one of the guys that emailed you, we'll let one of those guys be in the league.
How about this? Yeah, how about this? We should put out a tweet tonight before the episode drops. Everybody, pick a number if you want to join in our fantasy league.
Only somebody that gets the number right on the lottery machine.
Yeah, we'll find that person, so we'll have a lucky awl play in our league, that'll be great. Look at that.
And then this is a lot of work. Then the random guy in our fantasy league will have gotten the ball before Hank got, yeah.
Jakes, you're going to have to set up the league, I got it okay, so you're going to have to set that all up. Yep.
We're going to have to figure that all out. We'll take care of it, We're going to do a draft, yeah, we'll do a live stream draft.
Tell me when you want to draft, Pardon my take YouTube. I think next week we should draft, after we get, we should see.
I'm not going to be here next week. Oh, geez.
Okay, we're not doing auction. No, okay, good, good.
Oh, that'd be fun.
It takes way too long.
Yeah, it takes way too long.
And I have no idea what to bid on most of these players.
Yeah, same.
I might just draft the entire Angels roster, they're awesome, they're going to be so good this year, yes.
Yes, that'll be, yeah, just all angels.
The last couple years, I've come up with a proprietary system to gamble on major league baseball. Two years ago, it was awesome. Fade the Pirates every single, it made so much money, I think I'm going to fade the A's.
Okay, all year long, so it's going to be a combo, a parlay bet of the under and taking the A's. I think it's either to lose money line or lose by one and a half.
I like it.
RunS I feel like the A's are going to win 42 games this year, maybe less.
The only other thing I have before we get to hot seat, cool throne, do we want to talk? Just a quick just recap of the fact that the Sixers have just been the worst team in the N.B.A. since Max. It could be a transition, if you want, okay.
All right, so let me do the ad and we'll do a transition. This show is brought to you by our friends at Coors Light. There's nothing like the excitement of the big tournament. But every buzzer beater for your team is someone else's bracket buster, and every game is a chance to turn the tables.

Oh, interesting, why?
Uh, they're in a complete, complete free fall, lost four out of the last five. They played Jokic, everyone's talking about Embiid versus Jokic. for MVP, Embiid wasn't even man enough to play.
James Harden also didn't play. Kind of a bullshit excuse, like calf soreness or something.
Do they control their own destiny?
They don't control their own destiny at this point. You know, everyone's talking about Sixers Celtics second round series, the way things are going for the Sixers, it might be a first round series, which would be exciting. But yeah, they're. Is that true, Max?
You gotta get healthy, um regular season NBA soreness, you gotta get less sore, gotta get healthy.
Oh, no, sorry. Harden was soreness and Embiid was tightness.
Embrace debate. Would you rather be sore or tight?
Rest against the guy, you know, that's where it's like, not my NBA. You're an MVP candidate, the guy that's probably going to win the MVP. You have a chance to go head to head with him and prove to the haters you know why you're the MVP and you just sit out because you're tight.
Well, he already did that. The updated odds right, calf tight updated odds are Embiid is the favorite now.
Right, but like then, he didn't show up.
Well, the last time they played, Embiid absolutely ate his lunch.
Was that like months ago?
It was probably like, a month ago, Sixers won.
How's it been going since?
You know, it's a rough stretch, you know, we're trying something different this year. Load management. Yeah, I mean, at the end of the, at the end of the year. Normally we play really well in the regular season.
Everyone gives it all. They're all in the regular season, by playoff time, they're, they're in a drought. So this time, we're this year, we're trying something different, and you know, I'm all for trying something different right now.
Max There is something to that, like, you don't want to win the president's trophy, right? You want to be peaking at the right time. We've done that before and we've peaked at the wrong time. And now we're just getting everyone ready for the thing that actually matters, the big dance.
The N.B.A. playoffs I'm so excited for because it's absolute chaos in terms of seating, especially in the West, where it's like the Warriors might play in the playing game. I mean, the Kings, like the beam. They're third, like there's going to be some crazy matchups in the first round.
T-wolves are looking frisky.
T-Wolves are all the way back up to six.
Yeah, so I in the middle of the night, so I, I, Uh, I took an Ambien last night. I, I take Ambien like twice a year. But didn't really sleep much the two nights before that. So I was like, Okay, I'm going to go go to bed at nine 30. Wake up super refreshed. The next day, I woke up at about like 1130, 1145..
And, uh, I, I put a future on the Timberwolves 15 plus 15,000 on these guys and they beat.
Well, what's the I? Still, something is not adding up fully with that number and what you're proposing.
What are you talking about?
What is the future on?
On on the Timberwolves to win the NBA Championship.
Oh, you were telling it, you were in the room, Max, you were telling me. They just had to win two series.
No, I'm saying they went two series. Then you can hedge out and make a shitload of money. What happened to your nuggets? Yeah, no, I'm still on my nuggets. I got my future on nuggets.
That's not, I mean, that's not going to happen.
What t-wolves?
They're not going to win the championship.
You never know.
You never know.
And then second round, they could play the Grizzlies, and we've seen that they can play with the Grizzlies last year in the playoffs. So they went two series. And all of a sudden I'm sitting on a gold mine over here.
You never know.
You don't respect Minnesota.
They could also miss the whole playoffs.
That's, I did not calculate that into my analysis.
The seeding in the West five through 10. They are two and a half games apart, all those seats, right? So it's pretty nuts. T-wolves are hot.
So any team could drop out. And it's actually five through 11 because the Mavericks are sitting right there too, so who knows, it's going to be fun. I'm excited.
And the Bulls are going to be in a playing game. I'm going to get myself pumped up.
You got to make shirts if they win, playing game champions.
Yeah, oh, definitely, I got a lot of. Imagine if Pat Pev does it again, yeah.
Mr. Playing.
Playing P Badgers tonight? Oh, thank you, final four.
Thank you, I appreciate that. I did a poll, just a random poll. Would you rather be invited or selected to something? and, uh, 55 said they'd rather be invited.
So the nit is my championship.
And if they win, I have the best nit bracket in the world, they win the whole thing.
Now I'm kind of rooting against them. God damn it.
In the world, yeah.
Now I don't want the badgers to win. How can you possibly? How are you possibly able to do that?
Because I filled out a bracket, No, no, no.
You having being able to say a perfect bracket, it's like, perfect Jake gets to walk around saying his nit, perfect bracket, or my team wins the nit. I think I. I think I'd rather them lose now.
All right.
No, I want them to win. Okay, yeah, all right, I'll, I'll drop a six.
Sure, oh, what's your call to? Oh, Billy?
No, I just had a question for Max, are you still like trusting the process? is that still like a thing?
Good question, Good question, Billy.
I think that was the greatest Ponzi scheme of all time. Good question. No, we've talked about this. The process is right, I trust the process of the process, over the results of the process.
Max, Do you trust the process? Yes, the process worked. the process got the Sixers into a situation to be contenders in the N.BA. What, what the fuck is the process for?
Because that's the whole thing with the N.B.A. if you stick around the eight seed, seven seed, you're stuck in there forever. So it's like, yes, it didn't result in a championship and probably will not result in a championship. But I'd rather like have the idea of possibly getting to a championship. Being in the seven, eight seed every fucking year, because that is way more frustrating as a fan. The problem is the process hasn't hit in the process of selecting players via the process.
Wrong? Joel Embiid Yeah, well, he's process adjacent and now he's sitting out games.
I, I would billy like, right now the Bulls are in the 10th spot, so they'd be in the play-in to potentially get the Ace spot right. I would much rather the Bulls be the worst team in the league and get Victor Wimbledon.
There's something about being a fan for the worst team in the NB.A. That is like, it's more fun than being a middling team. Because you have, like a couple young guys that that's all you care about is them playing well.
No, being in the no man's land of like making the play-in, and it sucks.
Like when the Sixers just had Drew Holiday and Thaddeus Young. That were like the stars of the team, who are good players and good role players. It was so boring to watch them. They should do a playoff after the season for all the teams that don't make the playoffs. And then just have the winner of that get the first overall seat or first overall pick.
That'd be cool, your cool throw, my cool throw is meek mill.
Yes.
Philly Guy, King of Philly, everyone knows that he is working on getting Lamar Jackson to the Patriots, so shout out to Meek Mill.
We talk about that with Stavros in a little bit.
He gets very upset.
He texted Robert Kraft, and Robert Kraft was like, Yeah, well, that's a belichick question. So Meek Mill's working the phones.
Very upset.
PHILLY Yeah, you're right, I appreciate that.
Philly Guy, very upset at you. Sometimes, you know, it's like, you think there's all these things going on, It's like, maybe sometimes. It just took a text from Meek Mill to open those doors.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'd be awesome.
All right, PFT your hot seat, cool throw.
My hot seat is visors, visors are on the hot seat. I think it was. Golf Digest had a study. And they say, for the first time in like, 40 years, nobody in professional golf that's in the top 20 is a visor guy. No one wears visors anymore. on the tour. visors are a good look.
We need to bring back visors. Damn, when I think of, like, all the best players growing up.
Steve Spurrier.
STEVE SPURRIER Well, yeah, that's the thing is. Like, football coaches have really swagger jacked the visor look from professional golfers, but we need one guy, maybe Brooks just needs to become a visor guy.
Just change things up.
That'd be nice.
He's got the sick hair, he's got the blonde coming out the top. I might become a visor guy and just wear those visors with the fake hair on top. Yes, that's always a funny look.
But yeah, visors are on the hot seat big time. My cool throne is U.S soccer because we beat Granada 7-1. Hell, yes, and then we won last night against El Salvador 1-0..
And Pepe Eltran, the train is back and Gio Reyna is playing, so we put the world on notice. Or at least El Salvador and Granada, two soccer powerhouses, yes, and we've gone back to back against them.
And now we get to play in the Confederations Champions, League of CONCACAF, Northern America, or whatever it is, we're going to play, it's always going to be. All roads lead to U.S versus Mexico in a big game, yes.
So I think we get to play against Mexico in Las Vegas. Yes, yes, I don't know how that works, but USA is back big time.
I love it, I love it. Okay, my hot seat is the NBA in general. Because did you guys see Bronny Jr. dunking over Bryce last night?
Shit was lightweight, hilarious.
I mean, lightweight, hilarious, like he, all these guys in the league, like they low-key suck, yeah, and we got Bronny dunking over Bryce.
Next man up league is in good hands. Yeah, absolutely, with the James gang. I would love to see them play on the same team together.
All three, Yeah, that would be sick, that would be so sick. You think LeBron, like when he went to the steroid doctor in Germany, brought Bronny with him.
Probably, well, we won't know, because as soon as the off season happens, LeBron doesn't talk to us, which was the funniest. I think, that out of all. Did you not see that? Well? We talked about it on Monday, how he saw the LeBron James of Foot Doctors.
They asked him like, are you going to get surgery in the off season? He's like, If I do, you guys won't know because I don't talk to y'all. It's like, you're going to post it the second you get a fucking injury, like a surgery, and you're going to be like, the grind is back.
I'll be like, no one has ever recovered from the surgery as fast as I recovered.
You're going to let us know instantly when you get surgery.
Yeah, if you're LeBron James, and, hypothetically, if you had been taking HGh steroids, whatever the case might be. Over the course of your entire career, do you tell your son that as your son enters the NBA?
To always be able to beat your son in basketball supersede that. And you're like, I'm not going to share that with him because I need to always be able to dominate. BronNY Yeah, I think I would. Personally, I'm not a father, except for my hypothetical son.
In which case, I would not tell Chris ever that I was on steroids because I just love dunking, yeah.
He loves to just beat him forever. Yeah, yeah, back him down, LeBron.
Yeah, if LeBron's got that dog in him, he wouldn't do it. He would, he would back him down at 60. Yep, like, I'm still the king.
Yep.
LeBron is still blue on Amazon, so we are on Amazon now and we're running a special deal. You leave a review, please rate and review, I've heard that helps.
Subscribe Rate and review But seriously, please do every subscribe leave a review on Amazon Billy.
My hot seat is bounty hunters everywhere. Yes, Chief's a holic cut off his ankle bracelet and is currently on the loose in the state of Oklahoma, probably heading towards Mexico, so Chief's holic. If you don't remember. He was the bank robbing super fan who was then released on bail from prison and actually attended the Superbowl.
That was the last time he was seen in public. He the judge allowed him to travel on a family trip to the Superbowl. And he attended the Superbowl. And he also just cashed in a huge Kansas City Superbowl future that he had. What a legend.
This guy's got a such a legend like robbed multiple banks.
He's got a good amount of cash in his pocket and he's on the loose if he gets to Mexico.
Butch, Cassidy and the Sundance kid, Yeah.
How come we celebrate? Like bank robbers and movies Jesse, James, Butch, Cassidy, but we vilify Chief's a Holic. We got to buy the rights to this movie. His only crime is armed robbery. Yeah, we got to buy the rights to this movie because I don't know how to tell him.
Are you going to find him?
I was wondering, I have a bounty hunter in Oklahoma who's willing to bring me on a ride along. I don't know whether to chase him. Yeah, you should.
Wait, dog's not going after him.
Yeah.
There's no chance.
Billy, you should chase him. I would like to chase. Can I go chase him?
Yeah, but I'm just letting you know you're not going to find him unless dog is involved.
If dog wants to collab dog, dog, dog is ready, dog always if you want to go twice. I know a lot about him. Wait, but Billy, aren't you on his side?
I don't know, because why would you want to?
This is like the town, yeah.
What's better? Content? Yeah, me being on his side or me chasing.
I could see you robbing a bank with him. Yeah. That video would be the most viral video in the history of the show.
I can see Billy pulling up to him in the Bounty Hunter car and seeing Chiefs of the Holic in the full wolf uniform. Looking at him. And then turning his head the other way, slowly. Like the guy from the town, yeah.
No, I think you need to. He also in a wolf mask. Yeah, No, I think you need to find him with the bounty hunter, and then when you get him, you arrest the bounty hunter.
Or, yeah, or Chiefs fans everywhere should, just you should show solidarity with Chiefs. You should all get dressed up in wolf costumes and just drive super fast all around Oklahoma and Texas and throw people off the scent. They can't arrest all of you. I think that's what I got to do.
I got to go put my wolf costume on and then just start running around Oklahoma and try to be a distraction. Yeah, listen, you know who else attacked money lenders? Jesus Christ, right? And he's a pretty good guy.
Chiefs of the Holic, just modern day Christ.
Yeah, he is definitely Billy's Messiah.
Yeah, no, but can I go down there? yeah, for a long time, okay?
Let's see the plan, let's see the plan, let's see the deck and then we can go.
Okay, let me put the deck together. The thing is, hopefully he doesn't get caught before I finish the deck, right? That's race against time.
Yeah, that is a race against time and you have to be an agent first.
Well, I looked into that. We'll get into that in the stop.
Okay, all right.
I need $2,500.
All right, there you go. You said it right at that time.
Yeah.
Billy wouldn't stop when we asked him.
Okay.
I was trying to.
Like, wait, what?
Because when you say 2.
5. People are like, Oh, that's a lot that could be like millions. But then I'm like, Okay, but then you say the denomination, and then they're like, Oh, I need $2.5..
But then it's still $2,500, which sounds way more than 2.
5K yeah.
Two comma, five double zero.
It's a low four figures, yeah.
All right, your cool throne? Oh no.
My cool throne is fishing competitions. Justice has finally been served.
Hell, yes.
Remember that story from way back when, of those ice fishermen, oh not ice fishermen, there's weights in the fish, put the weights in the fish. They have pleaded guilty to the crimes.
Good pleaded guilty to putting weights inside of fish.
Which everyone saw on the video.
Yes, what kind of prison time goes along with putting weights into a fish? I think they're still waiting on sentencing, okay, but justice has been served.
The fishing competitions are still sacred. That's good, love it. Thank you Billy. Do you think you played a part in that, in bringing them to justice?
I think so.
I know, thank you. I'm just a lot of criminals involved in these stories. Yeah, yeah.
All right, Jake.
My hot seat. Major League baseball umpires, we don't want one of the most ridiculous ejections you'll ever see. In a spring training game. On Monday, the home plate umpire umpire ejected J.T. Real Muto for he dropped the ball into his.
Mitt and the Real Muto put his mitt backwards to try to get a ball from the umpire, and then before the umpire dropped the ball, Real Muto pulled his glove back. So, like, basically like the handshake to your head.
I thought it was trying to embarrass them.
Yeah, and he just tossed him right away, it was awesome.
He did download too slow to jump and get ejected for it, but it wasn't even intentional. I don't think I, I respect that. I wasn't looking at him, I respect you, but it's it. Listen, it's spring training for Blue, too.
Right, yeah, they're still getting there, they're getting their shit together right now. I love, I love when ops are like this, people come out here to watch me. But again, it's.
I want one umpire to be like that and the rest to be good. I just want one wild card.
Agreed, Agreed, yeah.
So that was tough. My cool throne is attempting to get out of speeding tickets. Uh, someone in Minnesota handed a cop a monopoly get out of Jail free card to try to get out of a ticket. It didn't work, but good job.
Should have worked.
Genius move, yeah, yeah.
Comedic effect.
You saw this, Billy? If it wasn't for body cams, that guy would have gotten off so easy. The cop would have been like, This is like, Fuck, this is awesome. Yeah, great job.
Um, all right. Uh, good job, Jake, let's get to stop. And you probably noticed, if you're watching on the YouTube, we're wearing suits today because it's the black tux has hooked us up. We look official.

All right here he is our good friend. Stavros Okay?
We now welcome on our very good friend, it is Stavros Halkias.
What's up, boys?
He texted me and was like, I gotta get, I gotta talk Lamar, I gotta go to therapy.
This fucking sucks.
We were planning on having you on anyway sometime soon, so this worked out perfect.
Yeah.
Not for you, it did, for for for the whole fucking league that needs a quarterback except the Baltimore Ravens, it did.
Where do you want to start? I mean, like, I would like to start here.
Steve Bishotti and Eric Dacosta have fucked the city of Baltimore in its ass. That's where I would like to start. The fucking treatment of Lamar Jackson is inexcusable dude.
What the fuck?
How the fuck are we going to lose Lamar over nothing? So like a year and a half ago, we started to see how they were, like communicating with Lamar and handling Lamar, and shit. It's fucking horrible. And he would, just he would be out of practice for a couple of days, and then Harbaugh would be asked about it. Yeah, dude.
And Harbaugh would be like, Yeah, you know, I'm not real sure what the issue with Lamar is right now. It was real strange going back then, I know.
It's a bit, you know, it is like when you just know your girlfriend is starting to cheat on you. That's what it's felt like. You know, you're losing a woman that's much hotter than you, and it's like, Oh, she's, she's been going to the gym more than usual.
You know what I mean?
Like, Oh, that's good. I mean, I guess health is fine, you know? And that was like the beginning of, like, the weird communication.
It's like, new clothes, new clothes.
It seemed to be pretty chummy, but he's got a he's got a girlfriend, so I'm not worried.
She's trying to get you into the gym right, right, right. Yeah, like, Hey, why don't we work out together?
Why don't we work out together? why don't you make a long-term commitment to me?
And I'm like, I don't know.
I mean, let me play the field a little bit longer. That's really what the Ravens have been. Dude, it's like a fucking fat guy with a little ass dick who's got a hot girlfriend. We lucked into. Lamar should never have fallen to us.
We got lucky because the league is racist. Essentially right. Everyone thought he was a fucking running back, for real. The Dundalk character that I do is how half of the GMs think.
And he fell to us for no fucking reason, and then we just fucking have taken him for granted. This really is like my dating life, that's what, that's maybe why this is so triggering to me. It's like every hot girl I've dated, I've treated her like the Ravens have treated Lamar.
Yeah, and now this is like, I'm at the point, you know? When you send like emails after a girl's broken up with you. And you're like, just just one more thing. I'm sorry, I just need to get this off my chest.
I respect your decision.
That's going to be the thing that she's like, Oh my god, this long, rambling email that I got at 4am, yeah, what changed my mind?
Oh, he really loves me, even though he non-franchise, non-exclusive franchise tagged me now, he told me I could go look for others.
You're like bargaining right now, where it's like, maybe, you know, maybe we're at a good spot in our relationship. Where when he comes back to Baltimore, we'll have a tribute video for him and he'll wave to all of us.
Dude, I'm not even right, I'm still, I mean, I know it's not happening, but I'm still like, Nah, dude, it's they're.
Going to work it out.
It's not a big deal. He's going to talk it through, We're going to give him all the guaranteed money he wants. It's all this is all a silly thing we're going to put behind us.
Meanwhile, you know, he's fucking looking for condo, he's probably looking for condos in, like Miami right now.
As we speak, the next quarterback you draft, you're just going to treat him like shit from the get go. Yeah, I can't have my heart broken.
This guy fucking sucks. Don't get emotionally involved, all right. So what about? Well, there's a couple of things that could happen here, but let's first start with, like, Lamar's gone, okay?
So that happens.
Um, are you buying the Chris Mortensen? Because this is my favorite? One of my favorite parts of the NFL is the machine that's behind the owners. Because, Lamar said, I've asked for a trade March 2nd and Chris Mortensen came out like, I don't know a few hours later.
Being like, you know, he's a great player, but there are questions about his diet and his sleep schedule.
I know, dude.
It's like, come on, the fucking the guy won MVP when Joe Burrow was fucking sucking on coach Joe's nuts, he was fucking. He was so young, so good, and we're talking about his sleep schedule. Okay, he shit himself.
He got Covid eight times and he shit himself during a playoff game.
Whatever.
It's fine, I want my quarterback to be fucking weird and kind of dumb and every other place, but football Lamar's awesome, he's the fuck, he's hilarious.
And yeah, he's a fucking 20, whatever year old super athlete. Like, sometimes it takes those guys like they do have to, like, transition into, Oh, I'm 29..
But those guys, they make the fucking connect, they figure it out.
So you the diet, you're not worried about the diet? I saw that I was like, red flag. They should like, he should even be in the league.
I'm worried about the sleep schedule for him. I want my quarterback, like Aaron Rogers, staying up for three days at a time. Put him in the door and ayahuasca.
Yeah.
I want a quarterback that doesn't sleep.
Yeah, oh, he, he's, he gets up, he eats a couple of fucking hot cheetos every once in a while. Who gives a fuck, yeah?
He's fucking awesome.
The timing was so weird yesterday, too. That was a coincidence. Oh, maybe Lamar is the smartest human being on earth.
I think I think he's probably, I think, okay, what this feels like to me is like, well, first of all, the Lamar Lamar. Not having his own agent is a weird wrinkle, right? Because, but they are they, that's kind of. It was almost smart, cause he if you don't have your own agent, the team should, if they're smart, treat you with more respect than they would with an agent.
Cause an agent, it's like you can dish, you can throw out a disrespectful offer, and that's the guy's job to never. So it never gets to you, right? You never hear the first offer. But Lamar has heard every like bargaining tactic. And really, once he decided no agent, they should have just been like, he's our franchise player, he's got us by the balls.
Let's fuck it all, right? We might have to overpay a little bit, or we'll just have to make this quicker than most negotiations. So that's, that's one of the weird things.
It's also I do think the owners, it's. it's very funny, cause I don't actually think the owners are actively colluding against Lamar. I think they all are just the exact same person, and they all think independently the exact same way, right? And they none of them want to pay quarterbacks guaranteed money.
Pieces of dog shit is what they are. Every owner can suck my dick, and not just, but our owner specifically right now. Because them that fucking cocksucker is worth, I think $6 billion. Okay, $6 billion. He bought the Ravens.
But how much in cash? That's the key.
Sure, sure, sure.
Jim Irsay, like, was when they're in the middle of the league meetings right now, and Jim Irsay is just. All the quotes of him being like, I don't want to pay quarterbacks guaranteed. I think it's a bad precedent for League. No, dude, you don't want to put the money in escrow, right?
Like, you need that for the pills.
Exactly, exactly so, don't. That's a lot of vicodin, that's a lot of vicodin and dick pills that go, you know, you know, Irsay's got the kind of dick pills you have to like, inject into. Like your nut, that one big vein in your nuts, like, he has to fucking, he's got some, no other dick pills. Have worked on the hat man since, like, 1994..
He's got some kind of experimental dick pill that he cannot tie up the money for that.
I think that quarterback, that dude's done so many drugs over the years, I bet you he nuts without even getting hard in the first place, yeah.
Just completely, just looking at it.
It just falls out.
Yeah, he gets wet like a woman.
He slowly is coming out, it just slowly seeps out.
