Rich Eisen In Studio, Heat Tie Up The Finals, SCF G1, Jake Hit A Hole In One And Who's Back Of The Week

Hey, pardon my take listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube, Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

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, she was a workaholic, she didn't like vacations, and it was clear she didn't get my personality. And it showed finding someone who gets you is hard, right?

Eharmony Get who gets you on today's part in my take? The Miami Heat have tied the N.B.A. finals. Incredible second half from them, incredible second half from our friend Duncan Robinson. We're going to talk about that, we're going to talk about Stanley Cup final game.

Now in the street, there is violence and lots of work to be done.

Welcome to part of my take. Today is Monday, June 5th and we have a series. The Denver Nuggets have lost for the first time in these playoffs at home. The Miami Heat have tied at 1-1 and PFT. I'm happy that I told you that you weren't. I talked you out of removing a testicle.

Yeah, so thank you for that big cat. Although I still feel like I'm confident in my nuggets, but tonight showed me that. When the heat change up their defense, it looked like they may have found something on defense where their strategy was. We're gonna let Jokic score as many points as he wants to. Yeah, just be a scorer, let him score a bunch of two-pointers, because two points is not as much as three points. And so their zone defense was kind of predicated on allowing him to be a scorer, not a passer. Yeah, he had four assists.

Hole-in-one. But that was an ominous sign. If you're a Nuggets fan, it's definitely Jake's.

Day today, for sure. There was an article on ESPN about the Taylor Swift curse in these N.B.A. playoffs. So every N.B.A. team that made it to the semifinals this year, they've had a Taylor Swift Ares tour stop through their city. Okay, and they've all been eliminated.

Gonna have to get a tattoo and have it removed. I don't think she's gone to Denver yet, you mean?

It's like, on the schedule, on the yeah, it might be on the schedule. Yeah, got it, yeah.

Like the heat it felt, they came out, played great in the first quarter, like, Okay, this is the best effort that he'd have. Then then the Nuggets, uh, you know, put up. They were up like double digits for a while, which again, we keep telling ourselves and it keeps shocking us every time. The heat love to be down double digits in these playoffs and come back and going into the fourth quarter. Duncan Robinson, 10 straight points. Shout out podcasters everywhere. But yeah, it was. It was basically the heat like.

I mean, the heat are good, they they just do not die, they are good, don't miss, they are like.

I know that it's stupid to even say, cause obviously they're good and they're in the NB.A. finals. But you still have to keep reminding yourself. Because they ate seed and they weren't that good in the regular season, but they are a really fucking good team and SPO is the best. Yeah, he's the.

Best coach? I like how they let him play down the stretch too. Yeah, not a lot of time, not.

Yeah, he just was like, let's do it, and I mean, Duggan, Robinson, that was that was the difference in the game. Because he when he came out in the fourth quarter and put up those 10 points and basically had a run by himself, that was like the the went from. They were down, what, like five, I think, going into the fourth quarter to then being up and they never gave up the lead again. Yeah, plus 18 plus.

So that he could defend Michael Porter Jr. a mission accomplished, yeah, and he had 10 rebounds.

So Kevin love like, it's also every time the heat just. They just have guys like even Max Struess, who was horrible in game one. Oh, for 10 from the field over nine, he comes out, he hits his first, I think, three out of his first four threes, and ends up with A with 14 points. Like.

They just bounced back. They also got to the line 20 times. They shot 20 foul shots, They made 18 of them game one, They shot two foul shots.

Point swing, six of them coming from KCP fouls, which were those were bad. Yeah, can't follow.

Guys shooting three, those are, those are really dumb fouls. Down there. They put credit to the Nuggets. They did bring it back. It looked like they were going to get their doors blown off in the fourth quarter.

Lose for Miami? Ooh, Max. Thoughts of the must win being thrown out there? Uh, there's no much. Yep, it is a must win.

Was dead on Friday show. Yeah, no, we've buried it many times, I think. Say it again, say it again.

Yeah, yeah, it was, and it was. It felt like it. Watching this game. In the first quarter, you're like, that was the best shot that he'd had, and then as soon as the second quarter started, you're like, Oh yep, the here's, here's the nuggets.

Don't go away Schrodinger's culture. Yeah, they gave up a 40 to 14 run and still won, yeah.

Out of gas. It is nuts, though, because as like a an entire organization, like, think about it, Kevin Love was was DNP in Game one. Duncan Robinson last year. Couldn't get like we, we all we love Duncan.

Started to scowl when he put on the mean mug, you know, listen, Duncan, I liked the mean mug. I thought it was effective. You probably win a hundred percent of the games when there's a Duncan Robinson mean mug. That happens on the court, I think he practices it.

That I'm ready. The the other, the great, the scary thing. For the Nuggets, there's a couple of scary things because they obviously lost home court here. But Jimmy Butler wasn't that great. Like he has not, he has not asserted himself in this series.

That was awesome, that was so sick. He was just as a Nuggets fan, I I, I even felt I felt it deep.

In my soul. So yeah, no testicle bet, thank God. Um, but I might have to get a ball tattooed. And you missed that on Front Friday. But yeah, the the immediate Paul I got out of, I got out of.

Pocket a little bit. I just started rolling, you should keep it again. Yeah, I just started to roll.

Okay, your tattoo? Yeah, I get a home one, I'm getting a tattooed, for sure.

Yeah, shout out, Taylor made Yeah, and I wrote back.

The horniest out there. Or for him just being like, instead of even needing four hymns, just hit a hole in one, you'll get hard all week. Yep, did you get a little blood rush a little bit with the boys?

You see a ball go in a hole, it's okay, start happening to guys brain, it's okay.

So we have a series. I'm excited because I like, when you get to the N.B.A. finals. You just don't want it to end super early. You don't want it to end in four or five, it's still obviously could end in five. But it feels like this could be a two, two going back to Denver, which there's nothing better than when you get the two, two game five.

Stats about like the winner of game three in a series, when it's tied one one, I'll eat them up. What's that percentage? I don't know what it is, but I'm going to. I'm going to recite that verbatim, probably five times on the next show. Oh, I will let that distort all my thinking, Kyle.

Lowry just finished with the post game, he's got the longest shorts ever.

Respect, I like that. Uh, did you see the very important thread from our good friend Robert Griffin? The third, No, you put this out.

There's a blue cheese ranch divide. I've always thought that was like, it's a personal preference at the Wings. I'm a blue cheese guy, but I like ranch for other things. I like both of them. I think it's more there's ranch fanatics who, like, put it on their pizza and shit.

Gordon is ketchup, I think he just ran out of sauces, so he was like, Yeah, I'll just give.

Ketchup. This is a dud of a threat. Michael Porter Jr. Like, I'll just be honest.

Porter, Jr. It's even worse hearing it. It was chick-fil-a sauce. Okay, because he's a mix.

Who's just straight up ketchup? At what point is RG3 just going to start doing? The threads of, you know, like the the hot threads now are just being like, Uh, President's re-imagined AI is like, as baseball coaches, yeah, I like that.

Logo of a team and be like, Who's the first player you think about when you see this logo? yeah.

Those always slap, Yeah, yeah, uh, okay, so thank you.

Sauce for Michael Porter Jr. Chick-fil-a sauce was for Michael Porter Jr. If you're interested, Caldwell Pope was sweet and sour sauce, Oh nice, and then Bruce Brown was honey mustard.

Uh, engagement off that. uh, not as much as you'd think. Well, probably more than I think, so I.

Think zero? Well, so he probably kept refreshing that thread and he's like, I think Twitter's down again, no one's responding to my sauce thread. Oh, it's gotta be tough. They just showed it, uh.

To be the joker guy and in a loss, have to go home sad and a joker, it actually is how the joker, like, is created. Yeah, they should, if they ever make another joker. It should be a guy at a Nuggets game watching the Nuggets lose, maybe like a really controversial foul.

Decides to just be the joker, completely joker. Fight. Christian Brown should be Mayo. That was a big miss by RG3, not including that one on there, yeah.

We'll do a quick ad and then we got more show hole in one, darts everything rich Eisen. Let's kick kick it to an ad. This episode of Part of My Take is brought to you by Rocket Money.

Vegas also had a goalie standing on his head, Aiden Hill, that save.

Well, they both had goalies sitting on their head going into this.

Yeah, but but that one save that he had was incredible. It always feels like there's one big like statement save. That happens in the Stanley Cup finals, where that team goes on to win, cause it sucks all the like.

They are. And then they had the pregame, which was crazy, the lights and everything in the night, fighting a Florida Panther army and everything.

The pregame was fun. If you're a real hockey guy, I have to imagine the purists out there, oh yeah, are like, this last two minutes too long.

No, there's a dude who's who's sitting in like, Uh, you know, Manitoba, being like, just drop the fucking puck.

Drop the puck. I don't care about Cirque du Soleil, right? I do care about Cirque du Soleil, I love the theatrics.

It was, I think, also it's not as cool as it was the first time when they were new. And it was, you know, they were in the final against the Caps and it was like, Oh, my God, what is this now? We all expected it. Also, they are the favorite in this, so it's like, not, as you know what I mean.

Yeah, uh, they didn't like that joke. No, no, he did not. That's probably because right before that, I think I just asked him, what was it like to lose the Stanley Cup? That was a little bit aggressive.

But that was a curve ball, because usually it's like, what was it like to watch your friends win this?

I've actually never heard a player talk about what it's like to lose the Stanley Cup. Paul Maurice, the head coach of the Panthers, after the game, he said Uh, the key is they have to breathe, so they're going to breathe. Look for the Panthers to be sucking in more air. Breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth, exhale, get the blood going.

Well, and they also had, you know, Chuck has been the the like heartbeat of the team, and Whitney mentioned him as well. He had not a great game, he had, I think, a 10 minute, uh, misconduct to end the game. But he also had to turn over for the game winner to make it three, two. So yeah, they got to breathe, they got to breathe.

I, I would like to see this go seven. I want to see an exciting Stanley Cup final to make up for what they've done for the most part in the playoffs, which has been boring.

Breathe and play hockey. That would be my two tips to the Panthers. Don't worry about fighting, don't worry about, you know, trying to get in their head, just play hockey.

I'm going to breathe, I'm going to remind myself to breathe more when I watch this game, it's.

Important, really suck it all in. It's important to breathe. So, uh, Jake, your peas, the peas go peas down, oh one.

So I have those don't really count, I've got several in a PGA 2K, yeah, pixel golf.

Actually hit probably like four or five. You guys have had a hole in one, No, this was like, I want you to talk us through it. Because it is for anyone who's like, Oh, it's just a hole in one. It's up there for things that, like, you ask a guy who golfs like, have you ever hit a hole in one? And most are like, No, I have not.

The best thing that a man can do is get a hole in one. Yeah, so congrats. So you were officially a man, yeah.

So talk us through it. Were you, were you just floating the rest of the day? Yeah, I had the worst back nine. You should have posted your card with the Eights.

That up a little, Jake can't lie.

Four of us nice reach of us now. Did you win? No, I was awful, yeah.

All it matters, Jake and I were talking earlier about. If you're a PGA Tour golfer and you get a hole in one during a tournament, that might actually fuck you up mentally for the rest of your round. Like, it screwed up the highest of the high, yeah.

But it's so long term. Yeah, that's why I don't hit them. Now. You play a lot of golf.

Interesting, I'm not very happy for Jake. I don't know why people were trying to do, like, Oh, I immediately thing, but, uh, no, I mean, Jake, Jake, Jake is my father, he, he wins everything.

You'll always remember it, I'll always remember it, and you should go where, what, what course?

Was this? This is harbor links on Long Island Port, Washington. We should, we should go out and.

Put a plaque up there, I got a certificate, yeah, but we should put a plaque, we should put a plaque on a tree right there. Just being like Jake Mars. First hole in one ever.

Jake's, Jake's big hole. I get to talk to some people. Okay, well, we could just go out there and just do it. We've done it before with Larry.

Once you get one, the second one's going to come. Flood gates open. That's what I've heard, I heard.

They come in bunches. I also liked, uh, cause Jake's been filming his rounds and posting them on social, but he wasn't even filming this round. He was just he just happened to film the part three. Yeah, so I was going out with my friends.

A little skeptical, like you only filmed that one. I was. I was at the playground with my kids and I was like, I thought, maybe, uh, you were calling the game on ABC today? And I forgot. So I was, you know, I was like, Fuck, I really fucked this up. It's good to know there was a hole in one.

I think guys are probably more likely to reach out to their friends and be like, congratulations when they get a hole in one than they are. If you find out that you're going to have a kid.

Yeah, I mean, it was, it was a cool moment, you were. it was it was trending. Thanks or, uh, congrats, Jake, Yeah.

RECAP Yeah, it was, Uh, I'm a real needlehead. You can also recap, Yeah, Max Max, where were you?

So I had a ticket and I was thinking about joining and then so I was with my kids all day and then around seven o'clock when they went down to bed. I looked at, like, I just scrolled through Twitter and I was like, Yeah, I'm just going to be the only sober person showing up to, like, the greatest party ever. Yes, and so I was like, I'll just live with the FOMO and realize that that was.

So much fun. That's probably a good choice, though you don't want to go to darts sober.

Well, you're right and just showing up like and being like, you guys have been having the best time of your life. What if you? what if you? what if you kill? The vibe? Yeah, I wouldn't want.

To kill the vibe? Everybody was awesome, it was. It was like a big costume party, too, everyone gets dressed up. There were fights in the stands at darts.

He's like an ultimate great darts look, cause he's like, there are professional athletes. Technically, yeah, and he's not to be a professional, but he doesn't look like one.

Where are they dartists? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What can I say, I gotta, I gotta go back. Darts is the one sport where I hope they they never have. Like a revolution of like, you know? Like, when Tiger showed up on PGA and everyone started working out. And like, even you can go to baseball. And like, babe, Ruth was just hitting the homers and like, getting in the jiggly fat machine darts.

I think the best dart players are probably just the ones that check off the most they've got.

Great elbows, but it is. It is funny, too, because I'm sure being in shape just makes you better at.

Everything, but I hope not for darts, I think there's probably some aspect of darts. I was thinking about this. Cause you watch like shooting in the Olympics and those people are all in fantastic shape. Probably cause they're on skis a lot, too. But they control their heartbeats with their breathing, and so they shoot in between heartbeats. I bet there'll be somebody like a fitness revolution that comes through darts.

Get you on the stair master? Someone who's listening to the Huberman podcast, exactly.

And all of a sudden, he becomes the best artist. Yeah, I do cold plunge for nine hours every morning. That's all. My entire day is actually in a cold plunge, and it makes me way, way better.

At darts, I mean, it makes sense as someone who carries around 30 to 40 extra pounds.

It does make you mentally slower. Yeah, it was, uh, it was just a blast. I can't wait to go again. I don't know if Max is going to be back invited next year.

How every sport is gone where you have like an Instagram like, some guy who's a professional dart player who has like 3 million Instagram followers. And doing like, all kinds of weird workouts. Yeah, and like that, that would bum me out. I want, I want, I want the dark guys to look like like I want, basically, I want the professional dartists to be guys. That could hustle anyone at any bar and in in America, at any point. Where they just show up and you're like, Oh, this.

Guy No way, yep. I also want their uniforms to get like less comfortable, because right now they wear kind of like professional bowler shirts is what they wear. I don't want to see like snug fitting jerseys, I don't want to see that.

Yeah, it was fantastic, I did. Watching the clips online. It was just like it was, uh, basically, like a bunch of drunk guys that had to keep reminding themselves what they were doing today. Yeah, like, like.

Wearing t-shirts that just literally said, Darts, I love it, I love it, it looks so much fun, it was fun.

Playing darts more the new in the new office, definitely start playing darts one in one.

Overseas, like a championship or whatever that's in, like Ireland or Britain would be.

Maybe for a great week. Biblical Darts Um, okay, let's get to Who's back the week? Then we have eisen.

Yeah, at darts, I ordered, I went up to the bartender right before the dart walk and I wanted to get the party going. So I said, I'd like to buy every Coors light, and he's like, Well, what do you mean? I said, every Coors light that you have.

Absolutely bluer than they were last year. Love it, love it. So yeah, it's a great season for the mountains. Probably they'll be talking about it like wine.

Of the week My who's back of the week is Skip Bayless. Yes, he's back on the market. Uh, there's a lot of rumors seem pretty confirmed that him and Shannon are breaking up.

Might be the worst job in America to debate Skip Bayless every day. So like, there's been a lot of reports and we'll just to set the stage. You have to get the you're in L.A. you have to get up at three 30 in the morning. I don't think Skip. Bayless sleeps, and we know he doesn't sleep in the same bed as his wife on the weekdays. Um, and it essentially has been like, floated out there, that skip is going to decide who it is.

Are going to be lining up for it. Maybe no huge, massive names. I'll throw out a name LeBron, just get Lebron on there and have skip debate Lebron about LeBron James every single day, that'd be great.

Like, even some of the people you can think of that could go toe to toe with Skip, why would they take that job? If skip is like, you have to come in here and let me just like?

Ragdoll You, yeah. The waking up would be the big problem for me. I'm officially taking my name out of the hat because of the early wake up time. I actually don't think that there's a single job in the world that I would do. If it meant that I had to wake up at three 30 in the morning every day.

With long hair, he'll get too horny, that's true. Yeah, no, he'll be fine, he'll be absolutely fine. I just I wouldn't want to. He obviously will have a co-host because someone will be like, it's basically like you can fix him.

No, oh, I can, I can make skip. Think that Tim Tebow is bad, someone is going to take that job.

Being like, No, no, no, I'll just I'll just bring salient points to the debate table every day.

No, it does not matter if you just look at it under the pretense of like. The job description is, you're going to have to try to talk sense into somebody who absolutely thinks that. Tim Tebow could be a Superbowl winning quarterback and that LeBron James is one of the most overrated players in N.B.A. history.

You say will change his mind ever? I would like to see him, maybe just debate his wife.

Yeah, just have them just argue about just household I would actually watch skip debate.

Anything, it's you're basically signing up to be like a reply guy on Twitter that can be muted or blocked at any moment. Live on on television. Yeah, uh, okay.

Who's back to his office? Amazon is coming out with an Australian reboot of the office. Okay, so I think it will be. It may not, might not be that big in the U S, like, it's just an Australian thing, but we'll see.

I think it's like the cover episodes, are they doing it? are they doing it for Australia? or are they doing it for America with Australian accents? I believe they're doing it for Australia, okay?

Yeah, so that's going to be tough to follow. Yeah, I'm trying to think of the plot lines. How they would translate into being in Australia, not in Scranton, Pennsylvania, I don't know.

In Australia, Oh, of course, I'm just saying there will be inside jokes that we will not get.

About Australian culture also female. MICHael ScOTT Oh, I'm for it. Yeah, it might even be.

Better, well, no. Does that mean the female Michael Scott's going to wear male suits?

I don't know, or, yeah, is it misogynistic to have a female boss? But she sucks at her job, oh.

Good point, yeah, I'm watching. For that reason, it's problematic.

It and have her be completely competent, I think that would be a great show, exceedingly competent.

There's just one episode. The paper gets made fast, as long as you think they're going to do.

Scott's Tots, I don't know, like a school of aborigine children, that would be funny, yeah.

Can't? We can't compete with that. Although, did you see there's a rumor that Messi might go to?

MIAMI Yeah, yeah, that'd be sick. He's got ownership down there.

No state income tax down there, we always forget when we list Texas and Tennessee and Florida.

Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, too. Um, my other who's back of the week is.

Joey Uh, people forget that Hank has drank breast milk, yep, in cereal, yeah.

Rotten milk in the fridge and they're like, Oh no, the fact that you finished the whole bowl is the best part. I was like, 12 years old.

Breast milk? Um, all right, I got a few who's backs, Uh, the first one is Joe Missoula. Joe Missoula is back.

Fans Uh, yeah, I do. We just signed Sam Cassell to the roster. Missoula is like he got a lot of flack during the playoffs, but people do forget that. He came back down, oh, three, and and he was down in the Sixers they. He had to win those last few games to advance the Eastern Conference finals.

Hank was, I think, at one point, looking for, if there's a mute button of Max Hank thoughts on Max's thoughts. I mean, he's just a sad, sad human being, like, I don't like.

Get over it, I don't, I don't understand this, I don't, you know, I told him before I was like.

I'm going to bring up Missoula, make sure you have something to chime in on. We got Sam Purcell. Yeah, so yeah. And then related to my Who's back? that that who's back is Mark Zuckerberg, because similar to Joe Missoula, he likes to practice some jujitsu.

That I've read on Facebook, all those posts are actually misinformation about Zuckerberg getting choked out. That's how many people would sign up for jujitsu if they knew that there was a chance that they would get to choke Mark Zuckerberg out, though. But Zuckerberg, how do you not have a PR?

Guy, that'd be like, Okay, we got a crisis. There's a report that you got choked out, the last thing you want to do is have an update to the report being like, just so we're clear. We talked to multiple people. He was never choked out because now I'm like, dude, the guy got choked out. You don't have to update saying I wasn't choked out unless you were very clearly choked.

Out if you get submitted by like a rear naked choke, you got choked out you, you absolutely.

Got choked out. His grunting was they? They thought his grunting were snores. Yeah, his.

Grunting was actually just he was just concentrating, very he was breathing.

It's just breathing like the peas. It's a brutal thing to have to be like, Hey, listen, it's. It's the same as, you know, Danny Boy King getting attacked by a bear or the guy who didn't fuck his.

Cat did not cum on his cat, he was nowhere near his cat with cum. Billy Better PR spin Why didn't he just say Zuckerberg didn't tap?

At no point, at no point was Mark Zuckerberg choked out. Nope, not one, I oda.

Back just if you have spare time. Google Bodybuilding Forum Breast Milk Best Supplement ever. It's one of the funniest threads in there since, like the how many days in the week one? That was an all time, yeah.

That would make him the number one crime stopper. No, no, like the crime stoppers.

Top 10.

Charged with federal. I got a question, there's some pretty bad dude I got a question. Has has he been heard from?

Next 40, 50 years, yeah, you live out your life and everyone assumes you're on a beach in Mexico. Like, at the end of Shawshank, right? It's like, he got it.

Like, you know, a hundred years old, they're like, Ah, he's probably dead, but up until that point.

Everyone's like, Chiefs of Holland could be back at any moment. People start seeing you in the.

I'll do the same for anyone here. Okay? So if you're on the run and it's like, you know you got to run for the rest of your life, you just let me know where you want me.

To hide your body. We're really going to find out how committed he is to the Chiefs when football season rolls around, right? Is he going to be able to stay away from Arrowhead or is he going to go in a different car? You know what he should do?

Like we said, they should. Well, I guess his Urban Meyer probably won't talk for that.

No, probably. Well, it's a documentary, right? So they are getting interviews. Matter of fact, most people that are involved with that team you probably can't get an interview with and talk about that team, yeah.

Yeah, I was, I had just come back from Afghanistan. Yeah, uh, okay, Jake, your who's back?

My who's back? The defending champion Water Dogs Lacrosse Club, Yeah, opening day overtime winner Connor Kelly 1-0..

I watched the whole game. I wish we scored more, we should shoot more, which I've been saying since day one. But uh, yeah, good job on the water, dogs.

Yeah, they did it also. I'm calling one of their games July 14th.

Beautiful, yeah, are you gonna wear pants? Yes, yeah.

I heard that a lot of people have reported that you don't wear pants.

What is it? is it like a kink? It's just comfort. Okay, yeah.

Um, no, I thought your celebration was good. It was like it's a raw reaction, Yeah, right.

I can't believe it. Best golfer on the show? Yeah, not even close, not even close.

Yeah, Rich is going to be brought to you by Lifelock. Today, there are more identity threats than you realize. And even if you monitor your credit and your bank statements, only a little personal information needs to leak out for identity thieves to make you their victim. They can take over your investment accounts, open up new loans, commit other crimes in your name, much, much more.

Here's rich Eisen.

No, I've never done a law and order.

Oh, damn, CSI Miami.

CSI Miami That's law and order.

Once you go Caruso, you can't go anything else.

You can't go Hargitay. I'm a much bigger fan of Hargitay.

I understand I never had an opportunity to hargitay, I had an opportunity to caruso twice, yeah, and I still got residual checks.

So we haven't seen you in. I think it's been like four years or so since you've been on.

Yes, Superbowl.

Yeah, a couple Atlanta Superbowl, a couple. Apologies on my behalf. Michigan did turn out to be back.

Yeah, that's true.

Which seems like something you want to do eventually if you keep getting there. True. And we watched all of Game of Thrones and liked it, so there you go.

I did tell you about that, right?

Two big apologies. I totally forgot about that.

Well, no, because Rich told us to get into it and then the last season happened.

Yeah, that's true. Last season was subpar.

You watched Game of Thrones?

Last season, yes.

Yeah, if you go back and you look at that interview, I bet we actually come across looking like huge assholes for the Game of Thrones. Oh, the biggest. Oh, you liked your dragon show, Little Dragon man? It's all good, though.

It's called evolution. I mean, look at you guys now. When I first was on the show, you were not who you are today. I mean, you're a father now, yes.

Yeah, no, I thought you were about to say-.

No, that you haven't evolved at all.

I thought you were going to say, Yeah, you guys have evolved. When I was on the show, it was actually funny.

I'm sure your bank account has evolved, though. Yeah, so you guys are now a completely different spot.

Well, no, I have a fictional son. Chris. Oh, really. He's four. He's actually a fan, he's thinking about becoming a fan. Defecting to smash away from the four aces.

Is he a huge live fan because he watches the CW? Oh, yeah, he loves as a four-year-old.

Country Hill.

Okay, very good. yes, all that stuff good.

But congrats on Michigan.

Thank you.

You guys beat Ohio State two years in a row.

It's great, it's really good, it's great.

So are you a little nervous, though, that Jim Harbaugh is going to leave because he eventually is going to leave?

No, that's part of the landscape with him is that he's going to kick the tires on the NFL. He might actually play more than just Footsie, like, say, on a national recruiting day. Two years ago with the Vikings and then last year got even closer. And if he leaves, then I hope he winds up in a spot that makes him happy. And we hopefully will find somebody like Luke Fickle, who I told you prior to our taping here, I think he's awesome.

Yes, we have five quarterbacks now, probably better than every quarterback not named, Russell Wilson.

It's going to be amazing it will be, so I'm concerned about that.

The message boards are going to be very funny, though. Once Wisconsin loses. Like a close game to arrival, there will be somebody on a message board that says, we got to bring the fullback back. What's this about? Why aren't we running the football anymore?

That's what Nebraska has gone through for the last 20 years.

Why are we passing on fourth and one while you're going for it on fourth and one? As opposed to previous years? That's number one. Luke Fickle I love him again, as I said, I'm sure he's been on this show multiple times, he's funny.

Now, do you have an apology for me?

What should I apologize for?

Your basketball coach being a petulant child.

Okay.

Smooshing the face of my basketball coach.

Well, that's two years ago.

Okay, well, we haven't seen you in four years.

So I apologize on behalf of.

Not very Michigan man of him.

Well, your guy got in his face.

Oh, a handshake? Yes, no coaches ever handshake after a game.

Litigating this again, we haven't seen you in four years. I would have dusted off my memory bank on this. Yeah, we haven't seen you in four years.

We have a file that we keep for every recurring.

Just say he's not a Michigan man.

That I will never say such a thing, but he's not. Why would I say such a thing?

Because Michigan men do not act like that.

Well, he had a momentary lapse of reason. How does that sound? Okay, okay, but so I apologize that your coach got too aggressive on a handshake line.

That's again, see, this is not very Michigan man of you like.

It sounds like, if anything, a firm handshake should be something that's applauded amongst a Michigan man, yeah.

Understood, Yeah, and it was aggressive. He should not have laid hands on your coach.

Again, a handshake.

It should not have been anything escalating to anything remotely close to what it did.

Actually, you know what, you are sounding like a Michigan man, just skirting all blame and being like someone else's fault.

He shouldn't have done it, he shouldn't have done it. But that's what I said at the time, too. Had I come on the show then as well, I would have said it.

I'm trying to think of other grievances we would have against Michigan men. Would you like to apologize for Kid Rock?

So anybody that goes, that's from the state of Michigan.

Yeah, he's Michigan.

Well, Michigan, he's Michigan state.

He's probably dated a stripper named Ann Arbor before.

It is possible. No, I have nothing to do with Kid Rock at all.

You disavow kid rock.

I disavow kid rock.

What about Ted Kaczynski?

I totally disavow him. Okay, all right. Is he from Michigan, too?

Well, no, he went to Michigan, he got a P.h.D. from Michigan.

Did you just google that?

Yeah, I did, I knew he did, but I had to double check.

What did you google? Psychopaths who went to Michigan? No, I just said, Ted Kaczynski, Okay.

And he went to Michigan for his P.h.D. That's where he learned how to kill people.

Didn't run into him on the quad or at the quad, or in the Diag. Okay, didn't see him at the hash bash. Okay, didn't see him anywhere like that at all.

What about Hunter Dickinson trying to hold the entire college basketball world hostage for, like, a month? Do you want to apologize for that?

Um, I can't imagine that you are drilling down deep right now. Yeah, we're, you're drilling down really deep.

You didn't realize. The trick I did is I came out and apologized right away. And then it's like, Well, now the rest of the interview is just trying to find ways for you to apologize.

I, I, I. I'm apologizing for Hunter Dickinson holding up the transfer portal. Yes, correct. Is that what you're saying? Yes, then? yes, I apologize for that.

I accept your apology.

Okay, we uphold the dignity of the portal on this show, understood?

How dare anybody gum up the portal?

Patrick can't lay up the transfer portal. Everyone just jammed up behind him trying to get-.

Got their their iPhones timing how long it is? Yeah, make the memes.

What about Ann Coulter? She's a Michigan, Michigan, ma'am.

Is she really?

Yeah, she's a Michigan ma'am.

Wow, yeah, I disavow her, too. All right, good, absolutely. We're getting it all out.

Who do you avow? Who is the most prestigious Michigan alum?

Ah, who do I avow? Tom Brady? Okay, yeah.

It really does.

It does, like, I think-.

Tom Brady is a conversation ender and it's great, I love it. I love putting that card on the table-.

But you guys didn't treat him well.

We treated him Drew Henson. Yeah, well, Drew Henson. Listen, Drew Henson. At the time was Mr. Michigan in multiple sports, and clearly, if he was going to go anywhere, Michigan was the spot to go.

No, you have to play at least a year, you have to play at least a year to claim anyone.

Or play and get your moments at the school that you're trying to claim him for.

No, I agree.

I mean, get out of here, I agree.
