DraftKings Pick 6 the crown is yours today is Friday June 7th and the Boston Celtic are up one- nothing on the Dallas Mavericks after an absolute [ __ ] kicking Hank yeah great game great game uh looked like in the third quarter they were going to do the classic Celtics thing uh let the other team back in turns into a close game but they called the timeout when they cut the lead to eight went on eight 80 run after that and it was smooth sailing from there yeah it's a shame that Jason kid couldn't give another halftime speech where he said everyone remember to have fun out there in the NBA Finals he said when you're given the have fun speech you lost I don't think that you can come back with a uh have fun speech but I guess they did come back a little bit in the third quarter yeah no they they definitely did I mean they made it at an eight-point game and then it was and then when you looked up at the end of the third quarter the Mavs had only won the quarter by one point and they took their best punch and the Celtics came out with way more energy they looked better porzingis kind of redoping everyone when he's like I don't know if I'm 100% he looked he didn't look 100 when he started the game he looked slow they were kind of pick and rolling he wasn't really closing out he wasn't really contesting shots I was like oh yeah he's definitely not 100% and then he just made 20 shots in a row yeah he was he was the best player on the court for a little bit in that first quarter it was Unreal this is a big-time Revenge series for Christ stops uh Hank you are you are very confident right now are we still thinking Celtics and six yeah we're thinking Celtics and six the Mavs aren't going to go away um they're gonna they're going to give us their best shot but it's it might be Celtics and five I did not realize this was going to be a Bill Walton game yeah that would have affected things quite a bit for me the family's there they're wearing the Bill Walton jerseys they're wearing they're passing out the Bill Walton buttons and stickers before the game if if there is an afterlife where you can control something that happens on planet Earth I'm certain that Bill Walton would be doing everything in his power to control this game this should have been an easy bet yes the one thing you could say if you're the Mavericks uh you could have played worse could have played with less energy coming out um the Celtics hit every shot in the first half and Jason kids o sucks at game ones so that was uh I think the Wolves series was the first time he had won a game one for the Mavericks he has notoriously been slow starting with his teams in a series but it definitely looked like the Celtics were the better team all around because they just have an answer they they it's the role players that's what we talk about right it's it's different than the than the series they just finished where you know Carl Anthony towns couldn't hit a three and Rudy goar is a nothing on offense and you can basically play a different style of Defense when there's only a certain amount of guys that can hit a shot everyone on the Celtics can hit a shot so who who's the MVP after one game Jaylen yeah yeah Jaylen I I am looking forward to the discourse if he wins MVP that is crazy that the Celtics won by as much as they won by and Jason Tatum was not good I think that's a good thing yeah no I'm saying that's crazy like if he he's not going to be not good for the entire series he's eventually going to be good and uh yeah the the the Mavs role players didn't show up uh Luca started slow he had that third quarter where he was incredible and yeah you can't you can't expect to win this series if Kyrie's GNA only score 12 points yeah they did a good job not biting on his you know Luca always is trying to draw fouls I feel like Jaylen Brown we said it he did he got snubbed for NBA all defense and he took that personally and he came out and he was playing really good defense every time Luka was pump faking he was letting him shoot it and Luka never does he just always pump fakes and then passes it was it was just a great great great great game one happy basketball's back it was long wait and it was a great payoff it's good that basketball's back I still think that the Mavs were stupid to wear these jerseys in game one uh I don't know if they did that because Luca looked very slim in them were you thinking blue I was thinking blue these jerseys uh feel like the jerseys you wear for Star Wars night in like early February yeah yeah I also think the white Celtics jerseys they're just that's a big game Jersey yeah I just yeah I just it feel like it it was crazy because if you had said before that the that the Mavs were the team or sorry the Celtics were the team that had the longer rest and also had just played significantly less games weren't in the rhythm of like a big time game what are you talking about they look as sharp as could be yeah they weaponized time yeah they did they weaponized time Mavs Max Celtics and four oh no I mean this team [ __ ] sucked tonight these role players were horrible we have a role players play better at home well they the Celtics got more [ __ ] home games they're going to go Ms are going to win at least a game the Mavs suck I I stand by Celtics in five I feel good about that three listen we can't overreact to one game Max Hank's the [ __ ] worst I [ __ ] hate when H H yeah continue continue continue you're you're just such a [ __ ] podcast you got to talk you got to talk Max don't just go silent when your team loses you got to let your feelings out you're the worst Max here's a spin zone for you for Mavs Max at least Le you still have your reservation at for Charles Prime the Celtics have eight guys should who who should have a $100 million contract wait what I said let's let's list them Jaylen Brown Jason Tatum porzingis Derek white I mean Pritchard friend of the programid holiday stun tonight Sam Hower Sam Hower stud uh Al Horford did you say Al suching for July could have used a guy like Horford is the worst I think the Mavericks remember when the it seemed like he was like his career was over on the Sixers that was like seven remember didn't want to play there needed a better environment I think he signed there he chose to play there by the way Luca having one assist that tells you how bad everyone else played because Luka l no hey you know how an assist works it's a fact that you have to make the shot all their shots early early on it was like nobody should have thrown more lobs but you like Luca didn't have only only one pass tonight he they were just they missed everything Luca didn't play great but one assist played better than Jason Tatum do you understand how assists work like with one assist means that the other guys you have to make the shot for the assist to count yeah you got to make better passes it was give guys better looks it was great great team defense by the Celtics did you did you say drew holiday yeah yeah gez you could I couldn't even say the one assist without Hank getting well I was curious how you were going to you know because an assist you have to pass the ball then the person has to make the shot the rest of the M make good passes though the Mavs didn't make shots should have done more lobs yeah Kyrie was really bad Kyrie was really bad lucky Revenge game no the Mavs were bad I mean the Celtics were it wasn't as the Mavs were bad the Celtics were just like they came out and they were like Hey we're playing in the NBA Finals right now and they looked as sharp as sharp could be I don't think this series is over either I think the Mavs could easily come back win game two it is you know a blowout like that will will wake you up yeah you think statement loss you think that was a statement loss not stat L you think this year I don't think we can we can see your [ __ ] face you think this series is over I don't yes you do it's not yes you do it's a seven game series well it's a six game series those were two different oh my God Hank would you you would have rather won this game by like two points three points no but I'm just I don't think the M are going to roll over and die I think it's Kyrie's not going to play that bad Luca is going to make some better passes next game get some more assists yeah Kyrie was very very bad um I mean the defend well so more dep there was that one moment where Kyrie looked like he was open and it was just porzingis standing with his arm out and and someone in the gambling cave was like shoot it dude he's like well he he can't porzingis is a [ __ ] monster like he looks like he's open from the angle but he's 100% not open and he looks very healthy very healthy yeah poor zingis does um max you didn't even say you didn't even like my Spin Zone what he just still have your reservation at for Charles Prime this is just a bad joke why cuz this is the second time that Jerry's done this to me what happened Jerry's good at getting reservations in New York City he got me a reservation and then after he books the reservation for me yeah he just tells me every day that he accidentally canceled it so did he cancel it yeah apparently oh oh I didn't know that yeah this is I mean this is a bad joke like this is not good joke for the listeners can't you get it back I don't care I don't care about do you have to reply error yeah well I was playing into Jerry's little bit oh okay oh got it got it okay um you know Max really is angry when he tells everybody like this is the listeners hate this yeah the listeners hate this they [ __ ] hate this do you think the listeners like MAV Max no I I shouldn't I should just go actually no that would be Hank I whatever I'm done I'm done done I'm done he is Max I I'll agree with you he is annoying but he his team won game one you can't really like what are you gonna say nothing nothing you got to talk Max when you he answered the question I can't say anything you won you won you win you win every three years you [ __ ] win you know what I'm I'm happy for Hank right now in this moment but I can assure you that if they win game two and game three and Hank just the the [ __ ] eating grin becomes shittier and grennier I'm going to start to hate Hank too because this this cockiness is going to carry over all summer but it was good that we got just hat us cuz hand we got game one out of the way because the we had the worst combo of Hank today because we're dealing with cocky Hank right now which I I have no problem with cocky Hank we had nervous Hank all day and he was just a little Annoying even you'll hear for the rest of the show he's annoying I was getting fits off in it it was just I was in jelly mode yeah I'm rooting for you Hank I truly am but I don't want to see you sweep I want to see you sweat a little bit I I mean I'm Ru for a sweep okay uh I had two other things I wanted to say before we uh kick it back to ourselves talk some Dan Hurley uh this one is and we're going to talk about Dan Hurley but uh our friend Adam Leo had a very interesting tweet that I I very much enjoyed uh it's it was titled the tradition of LeBron or his team looking to overshadow game one of the NBA Finals continues 2024 Dan Hurley JJ reic coach Mania 2023 LeBron retirement rumors plus biopic uh Shooting Stars premiere 2022 I forgot about this one Forbes announces LeBron is a billionaire the day of game one that's great he he really is the best of it he's he's really good at doing that and then also watching the finals and be like damn this is so good I wish I wish we were in this not happening again next year yeah I'm GNA be back but that is some really good game one news that he needed to have out there and he he he there's no doubt that he planed this whole Dan Hurley thing for having it all day on game one yeah also he said important moment for a sport tonight love and respect to Doris Burke and everything she does to elevate all of us you're a goat and then everybody started to congratulate LeBron James on congratulating Doris Burke yes like this is this is what an ally looks like what a great great tweet by LeBron he he also had uh he said I'm so effing uh with some stars in it mad that I'm not his running mate anymore talking about Kyrie yeah Kendrick Perkins called him out and was like dude shut up it's game one of the finals let let let this be game one of the finals because he was just like damn I should be with Kyrie right now yeah in the finals uh okay the other thing I had was I'm worried about Mike McDaniels why what's up Mike McDaniels uh is so the Dolphins have not won a playoff game in 24 years he now has every staff meeting he puts at uh 24 on the hour I don't like that like 7:24 I don't like that not because you're just thinking about it all the time yeah I don't know if he was being cheeky with it but he probably just did that so that the the big team meeting could start at 424 4 minutes after yeah he was ready for it I will hold reservation because Mike McDaniels is a funny guy and he probably he might be just [ __ ] with the media but if this is true this makes me nervous this is like uh after the double doink year when Matt ngi ended every practice with all the kickers having to kick a 41 y yeah it's in his head right it's in his head and so you're you're just making everybody in the building think about how long it's been all the time right not the best way to do it no uh I did I thought of a a great a great be of Shame and I'm so it's a shame that I thought of it so late I think the ultimate shame would be if Justin Fields won a Super Bowl with the Steelers that would be a shame that would be you're right people really like the Sham list a crying shame yeah we might have to do an updated sham list every mons I'm not going to root for it but if if it does happen just know that it would be a it would be de shame that would be a very big shame it' be a shame if Max's reservation got canceled for Charles Prime it'd be a shame if if me and Max had to go to game four and shoot a pmtv oh that would be a shame be a shame where would that be uh Dallas oh okay is that on the table Mavs Max you love that you love the m p oh what I have to be I have to be in Philly for PLL we can do a different weekend for that right what day yeah what day I I don't know sounds like it's really locked in we can definely locked in I don't know what day game four is oh yeah game four is Friday so yeah he's right sorry he does no that's Saturday you can just get up there's a flight like 5:30 in the morning oh yeah you could that would be a shame if you had to get to 5:30 in the morning flight it'd be a shame if you had to follow Hank with the camera wherever he went mhm wherever he went whereever until Clos his eyes to fall asle any concourses bedrooms he is more torn up about this than he was about the it's crazy after the Sixers he's not he's just mad he just hates Hank he really hates after the Sixers lost he was like it feels different this one feels different now now this this feels bad for Max I think it's also the the problem is Mavs Max is a great nickname yeah and he it's just one G he he quit in the second quarter Mavs Max died in the second quarter tonight dead yeah yeah I I already tried to cash out my future but I place it in Jersey so I can't oh [ __ ] that's a shame that is such that's a shame that's real shame I'll buy your ticket for five bucks just kidding no he won't you you're not GNA take it no M decline decline decline 10 bucks all right let's kick it to ourselves all right we're going to kick it to ourselves we're going to talk

bomb that went out at 4:5 in the morning he said breaking ESPN story on the Los Angeles Lakers preparing massive long-term off offer to bring yukon's Dan Hurley to the NBA with talks expect expected to escalate in coming days so we when we had Dan Hurley on uh I believe this was two years ago we asked him about taking an NBA job and he said not now I've got a lot to learn he also said the league might not be ready for a guy like him that's a fact might be true but then he also said it's a challenge that he could see himself doing at some point in the future it sounds like they're about to just back up the truck for him yeah if they if they actually pull a truck into his driveway like a Brink truck y you have to take that deal uh I thought the weirdest part of this whole thing was buried in W's article they talked about how getting Dan Hurley on board could benefit bronny James if the Lakers were to draft him and how Dan Hurley could could help him step his game up and develop as an NBA player that is the craziest thing I've ever heard to be considering a coach based on the fact that a guy you might draft in the second round might get a little bit better a guy that's not even on the team yet the son of your Superstar he could help him with his development that's crazy to me but then I thought to myself wait a second what if it's a tit fortat situation and Dan Hurley says I'll do it I'll I'll sign off on drafting bronny I'll help develop him but you also have to sign Andrew Hurley and he gets to get in all the games to eat the turn to be the turnover sponge at the end of every game if if his son's on the team my son's on the team yeah that was that that part of the story was very funny because it would ju it would be just as easy easier way easier actually to just have bronnie transfer to Yukon yeah why not just transfer to Yukon and stay in college and actually learn from Dan Hurley right now uh but LeBron has tweeted about how much he likes Dan Hurley Dan Hurley is an incredible coach the Lakers are one of those jobs I mean Coach K which we'll get to in a second flirted with it 20 years ago but the Lakers are one of those jobs that I think every single college basketball coach picks up the phone for because you know they'll always get free agents and they'll always find a way to be relevant my only so there are two things initially that I thought one Shams got his lunch eaten on this one because Shams has basically been talking about JJ reic to the Lakers uh almost being a done deal for the last two weeks and wge this the the W Shams rivalry is so great because you know how much pleasure this gave WJ to just dunk on him at 5: in the morning Shams probably woke up saw it was like clutch has been lying to me all this stuff and he he has to just sit there and pray that talks fall through with Dan Hurley and they end up with JJ reick but I was thinking about it I think Dan Hurley would be awesome at the Lakers I think he would be he's going to coach he's going to be a great coach no matter where he goes the only thing that doesn't really make sense to me is I do think the Lakers like LeBron's not going to play Forever and he is he's fickle at best like he he could he's not going to give you a long-term commitment so why would you take it now when you know you could maybe stay at Yukon and the Lakers will still be there in a couple years from now when they eventually fire whoever they hire this cycle and then just take him over that I would love to see Dan Hurley take a Hands-On approaching like he did at Yukon like go on the court and push LeBron James oh he a play I don't think he'll go there if he can't coach the way he wants to coach that would be awesome also Dan Hurley doesn't strike me an LA guy no like he's not laidback enough but he would bring the fire to La no I mean he's a Yukon he he's a a New Jersey guy he's never leaving trust me I'm right there's there's there's there's two ways it's going to play out one is their Lakers are going to offer him so much money that he can't turn it down and you're going to say okay well Dan Hurley good job like you you deserve this and yeah you got to take this offer uh and then the other thing that could happen very well and I can see it in my head is Dan Hurley sitting at his desk that he tweets a picture on Sunday night maybe with just the number seven cuz they have six and they're going for their seventh uh and he's like yeah my wife couldn't find a a good like hogy place in La so we're job's not finished you know would be great you know let me strike that reverse you know would be a real shame it'd be a real shame if Dan Hurley left and then Yukon hired Jay Wright that' be that'd be a real shame that would never happen ax is hoping for this to happen so so bad such a shame Max and pug the whole Big East yeah they all need Dan Hurley out uh I don't I don't know which way this is going to go I I wonder do you think JJ feels like he's being used a little bit I actually think that this might be an entire Duke conspiracy because Coach K yeah no I was streaming about this morning I was right on it Coach K did all of this but think about yeah with the JJ reic thing too no yeah no Coach K was was named a uh unofficial uh what was I'm going to get the ex I'm going to get the exact named something but it's unofficial will you will you shut up for a second with your little vest just tell him to shut the [ __ ] up shut the [ __ ] up for a second Lakers reportedly using Mike shashki as unofficial resource in coaching search Coach K sees Dan Hurley win his second National Title back to back uh he looks around he says look there's a lot of lot of guys in in college basketball that will never reach where I'm at uh they won't be the old school tough style like Dan Hurley he's a throwback A Relic I got to figure out a way to make sure that Dan Hurley doesn't surpass me as the goat or alleged goat by Coach K standers he's not my goat uh goat college basketball coach I'm the unofficial resource in this searching job and he's just basically every time they bring up who should we hire he's like you know I'm thinking Dan Hurley he he's getting Dan Hurley to go to the Lakers so Dan Hurley can't take everything from John Shire and Duke and Coach K and all his legacy and stuff and he used JJ reck someone who knows very well I think a pawn in the scheme I think he might have engineered the entire podcast and been like hey you guys do a podcast and then we're going to set that up when the coaching thing becomes available then we're going to link JJ heavily to it I'll call Shams get Shams to endorse this and then everyone's thinking oh JJ oh JJ no one's on the phone picking up the phone to call damn early and then boom we do the old replace last second the old Switcheroo and don't put it past Coach K don't put it past Coach K to not try to take down all of college basketball because Dan Hurley is a throwback coach if we lose Dan Hurley and college basketball I would I will be upset he is we had all these you know tough guys hard-nosed guys the patinos the beheim the iso's still around but you know Tino's still around Tino is still around but we we're losing a lot of them all right it's fine the beheim the coach K's the Roy Williams the John Thompson BBY Knight the Roy maminos the Bobby Knights guys are like a hundred years old the Jay wries we don't have any Old School coaches anymore Dan Hurley is what college basketball has been for a very long time coach Kay is trying to basically I think he wants college basketball to not exist in five years that's what he's trying to do he's trying to take down the entire NCAA tournament he doesn't he wants it all to end he's a classic just pull up the ladder on you if you're Dan Hurley would you rather go to the Lakers and uh and get paid a lot more money and not have to recruit and not have to worry about nil all that stuff but you also have the threat of being fired every single season sometimes in season if if LeBron James doesn't like you enough yeah but then he could go back to college yeah he can he could yeah he College I what Max I think that he's done everything that he need to do in college he should go mute your mic he should go now I want him to go I want Jay Wright to sign on that that's not going to happen it's not going to happen J would just go back there's no chance go no chance no zero chance zero CH he'd wait one more year for them to have a bad season fire Neptune and go back if anything I feel like although Nova's back oh Nova's back cuz you got W Coach K is is trying to ruin Yukon Yukon fans don't take this this is if you if you are trying to play anyone do not blame Dan Hurley for being off for being an incredible coach and being offered a lot of money blame Coach K he's behind all of this that's a bunch of donkey crap you said that because you're in the Shrek costume Hank's doing a a bit where he dressed up today no we we did Dungeons and Dragons earlier and I just didn't change had been busy yeah you've been really busy he been busy trying to nap took a nap what do you think about this Hank I think it's a bunch of malery oh you think he's going to stay I mean I or you think that I think I think he is gonna stay this actually does remind me of Coach K well and he always stayed yeah there is there's like that was every summer it was coach K's going to Lakers yeah the there is a strong possibility in all of this that Dan Hurley has just won two national titles and he's got to find he's got a new recruits he's got new transfer portal guys and he now has to find a way to motiv him so he's like all right well let's just leak that I'm going to the Lakers and then he comes back I'm not leaving yeah it's a that would be a good motivational tactic I think he might be bored with college basketball at this point the last two the last two NCAA tournaments he's just dominated so hard there's no way that's just [ __ ] crushed it the other thing to your point which has nothing to do with Coach K is that it's tough to be a hard-nosed coach in today's day and age when the transfer portal exists if you're too hard they just leave but that it's way harder to be a hard know's coach in the NBA but you get paid a lot more you don't have to worry about the transport portal like Dan Hurley if you can't coach the same way that you used to be able the coach because especially not in the NBA but it's a completely it's a completely different game how much money would they have to offer him because he probably got do we know the terms 12 like he he probably can't coach the way he wants to coach in the NBA at Yukon but he has been coaching that way but it's probably a lot and it's probably dealing with a lot of [ __ ] or you could get paid [ __ ] you money to go coach the best players in the world yeah the [ __ ] you money is the part that you know like 20 mil a year I don't know I don't know what the O offer was 100 Mil over however many years I I have no idea I hope we don't lose him in college basketball I really don't want to see that happen and I also it would be funny because I I honestly think that if LeBron tried to use Dan Hurley as a scapegoat Dan Hurley would just fight him yeah the end of a season if if if LeBron said that yeah that that was Dan Hurley's fa our coach didn't coach well enough he'll just come in and be like okay fight me he'd probably just publicly say like we're trading LeBron James yeah you don't want to see that you don't think that would be great danak you are so biased right now you're very biased I understand it I understand your bias and I you should be taking the stance you're taking but don't what everything you say is is very biased but go ahead that's everything that's everything in the show that's everything in the show that's fair but I mean Dan Hurley with the Lakers would make the Lakers way more entertaining next year agreed I just do you understand my point about college basketball we've lost all yeah we've lost all the the the real coaches I want him gone I know you want you would you rather Dan Hurley at Kentucky or Lakers Kentucky yeah because then you get to keep him in college basketball I could see Yukon fans cry oh yeah I mean you really yeah I want Dan Hurley gone okay I don't blame you for that at all yeah no not at all kind they're just so dominant that's may maybe Bor is the wrong the wrong choice of terms but I do think that he's accomplished a lot in college basketball and he feels like a guy who's ready for different challenges yeah for sure I just I don't know if I would want the CH the challenge to me would not be to coach LeBron where he's desperate and will blame anyone but LeBron maybe the challenge is try to win a championship with LeBron's son yeah in the rotation yeah so we'll see what happens we'll update obviously on Monday I think maybe if something happens Johnny Fanta will come on also if if they're said if they're making this pitch to him like we want you in case we do draft bronny another team should just draft bronny and then try to trade him to the Lakers he's the most valuable poker chip of all time yeah for Anthony Davis straight up yeah I offer you one Anthony Davis you're essentially kidnapping LeBron James son yeah and be like all you have to do is is give me your second guy and then now we can all be friends again yeah I uh how how bad do you think Shams feels right now he's got to just be praying that Dan Hurley says no has to pray and do you JJ is he I I'm actually this is good for JJ reck it's good for him because now he's the big name out there so next opening they're going to talk to JJ well it also is a good little reminder you haven't coached yet yeah and you yeah you go you go behind Dan Hurley but he's already he's already skipped to the front of the line right so the next coaching vacancy it's like okay I guess JJ's a name that we should interview yeah Coach K will probably get that's probably the end part of this you got to get over it you gotta get over it no no I don't no I don't no I don't uh Coach K will probably get JJ JJ's first coaching job will probably be the Olympic team this year yeah that's probably wi the gold medal yeah front of the line I still have the Coach K little cheat we'll upd it's in my wallet yeah it's in mine as well fin two years ago yeah we will we will update it with uh what he's done here by trying to eliminate Dan Hurley so Yukon fans just remember it was Coach K did you see Coach K got a highway named after him no I feel like that's normal for yeah that makes sense he probably donated like billions to charity do you think he' you think he's gonna let his friends drive on the highway what good one what I didn't make a joke what do you mean his friend's big cat I don't know any of his friends from coaching yeah do you think he's going to let his uh do you think he's going to let Paulo banero I mean his grandson drive that Highway yeah I don't know I don't know I don't know who you thought I was talking about Jake no oh okay probably not all his friends yeah there's probably one friend he doesn't want yeah Tony Stewart uh okay anything else before we get ready oh I saw Angel Hernandez uh Jeff passon said that uh bullying worked in this case and that he was sick of seeing himself dragged on the internet all the time so we did it yeah we did it guys congratulations it's it's this is a big year for bullying we've got this and then we've got the Heisman Trophy going back to Reggie Bush yeah and I making things happen it is very funny that Angel Hernandez would say I I was sick of watching myself being dragged online when all he could do is just he could easily fix that by not being terrible yeah well he can't eject the internet he can't throw the internet out of the game yeah like why are they being so why are they replaying all of these times I've gotten balls and Strikes wrong I hope I hope that MLB brings him on as an analyst as like a rules analyst the way they did remember when Mike carry came on in the NFL and he got every prediction wrong that was incredible if they bring Angel Hernandez in for playoffs he's like I think that's a strike yes and it's like clearly outside the box we need that yeah come on so bad do the right thing MLB yes um I guess we'll talk Max will you talk a little bit about your Deli slicer during firefest or you want to talk about it right now uh we can we can do it later okay well is it a firest there's some firefest aspects okay then we'll save it for later because your your Deli slicer has arrived and you know you are you're living out your fantasy of being just a CFP Schedule strong Italian man wants you to know or college football schedule was oh yes that was a good point yeah we got the college football playoff schedule and it [ __ ] rocks there's so much football starting in December so much football there's also just so much more football in January now that is going to be we we've almost eliminated January yeah which is great yeah we the January's we were both born in January it's the worst month it's it's just a month of pure Sports now yeah and just looking forward to sports so pull it up it is um it it it's it's perfect because we have a Friday game then three Saturday games uh right before Christmas and then we have a a New Year's Eve game and then three New Year's Day games which is going to be great and then we get the special Thursday I think I think January 9th is week that's right before week 18 so that would be right when we were getting weaned off of Thursday night games so they throw a Thursday night game in there and a Friday and a Friday uh which leads us into week 18 so the January 9th weekend think about that 10 years ago was that even was that was that divisional round already no it wasn't divisional round but it was Wild Card Weekend not super wildc card weekend so 10 years ago we had four football games that weekend this now now the the first full weekend of January is a full week 18 and two college football playoff games it's pretty sweet and then Monday January 20th National Championship is that is that MLK day that is MLK Day that's also coming off I think that's also inauguration oh good yep and that is also coming off that'll be fun that is coming off of I think that's super Wild Card Weekend so 1112 13 is actually super wild card oh it is yeah so I guess everything's up this week okay 18 19 divisional okay so super Wild Card Weekend so we're going to have the semi-finals Thursday Friday and then Super Wild Card Weekend that's going to be that's the best that's the best stretch of football right I hope the new president or the president uh goes to that game the day after they get inaugurated yeah what uh wait when is the Super Bowl this year February what it's not President's Day but it's like 9th okay okay so it's early it's earlier than it's been um yeah January is January and December are incredible this year incredible this is my whole plan just eliminate if we could just get football as much football in January as possible to just get rid of January as a month oh we even we got that Friday December 20th game we get a Friday night college football playoff game no it's Monday January 20th no Friday December 20th oh yes yes yeah it's one Friday uh three Saturdays yeah and then New Year's Eve then three New Year's day it is interesting how this is going to go head-to-head with some NFL games which we usually don't see which ones uh the 21st is going to be tekon Chiefs and Steelers Ravens uh that's fine you just get have multiple TVs yeah no it's just these Marquee college games usually are Standalone it's going to be tricky for the travel schedule around Christmas time that that weekend that Friday sat our show yeah we're gonna have to do some shows yep I did think about that so December 23rd that Monday yeah which that would be we would normally would have done Monday anyway yeah and then we're going to have to do a show on the Wednesday January 1st y yeah which we would have probably had to do a show anyway but yeah I'm excited a lot more football uh okay let's get some hockey talk because we haven't previewed the Stanley

great friend uh first of all congrats on a great season on TNT I know the the boys are wrapped up for the Stanley Cup Final uh let's talk some final let's let's get going let's get into it you want to here's what I'll start with Paul B you know this league so well uh if the Oilers win what what is the xfactor for them and then do the same thing for the Panthers give us the X Factor I love doing the X factors I think we started to do it last year or maybe the year before and I think Whit was like like [ __ ] off with these X factors but then now he's an x- Factor they play cuz you know what it is Biz and this is this is a little tip for you I mean you you know this you you're very successful in everything you do man man's playing it to me please no no no no no you don't think I'm not gonna say what you think I'm gonna say what I'm gonna say is the at least for this show when we have a guest on like you who knows hockey so well when I ask for the X factors I'm basically asking for you to give us a name or two or a a situation that all of our listeners can walk around this weekend at the bar and sound smart and they can be like yeah you know if the Oilers do this and then everyone's like oh [ __ ] you know you're Puck it's like no they just listen to Biz okay all right I like this I like this okay so when we when we talk about the X factors on the Pod we usually refer to a team who might be um uh going into the series where we think they might lose like right now I have Florida and six right I think that overall they have the better team but I think if these two x factors Step Up the Oilers have a chance to win one of which apparently you have on today's show it's a Vander Kane yes yes okay all right okay so if Vander Kane is like your prototypical power forward in the NHL he's nasty he can play with a physical Edge and he's tough as [ __ ] I think he grew up a boxer he's actually I believe he's named after Evander Holyfield did he explained that in the in the midst of the interview he did yes so he hasn't quite been himself over the past couple years going back to two playoffs ago he had 13 goals it might have led all of playoffs and they were ended up being getting swept in the Conference Finals if he can get to playing that nasty that nasty style of play play physical and find his goal scoring Edge I think that that helps them out so much because he hasn't been there quite all of this playoff like this playoff I think right now they have him going into this round on the third line even if he stays there if he can be that impact in this series it's going to matter because Florida a very physical team can beat you up and they're so deep up front where they have guys on the third line like lundell who are putting the puck in the back of the net so he needs to be an XA Factor the other xfactor was a guy that half of the fan base was kind of throwing out bus going back to the Vancouver round and that was Darnell nurse big defenseman he's earning a lot of money I think his cap hit is just over 9 million and although he makes that type of money he's not that type of player he's not a kale Ma so what he needs to do is up his game defensively make sure he's boxing out in front of the net and he's also playing with that nastiness after the game in which he got called out uh there was like a a weird pregame press conference around his stall where all the the media members were grilling him he was giving short answers that night and at that point I think he was minus 12 in playoffs not great he started off the game in the first five minutes Dash two boom one in the back of his net on a two-on-one boom the other one hits his ass in the back so it was just like a bad luck streak mixed along with not good playing and then I feel like he just snapped after that he ended up getting an assist that game and then he finished with 12 hits double digits and hits we need that from him every game this series and if they those two x factors do that I believe the Edmonton Oilers along with all the other pieces do have the possibility of winning this in seven games okay okay but you picked the you picked the Panthers and I saw gresy kind of trashed you over he reminded you that you picked the Stars well he's on the Oilers payroll so let's not go over there and he's also won four cups with them so let's not go there well he does live in South Florida right yeah so I I I don't know I'm just saying what the great one told me on TV was that he shouldn't trust you because the pick that you had in the last series was ass okay I had so I had Dallas and six I thought they were they were the better overall team and Edmonton kind of now the new team of destiny that the Rangers have been pigeon toss to the side I do believe that the Oilers could do it but they have to have all systems go Florida is expected to be there they have the goal tending they have more depth on defense they're overall better on defense Edmonton oil's argument and their fan base's argument might be that you don't have an Evan buard Evan buard I believe currently he has 27 points in these playoffs 10 away from the uh from Paul coffee who set the the record for 37 points in a in a postseason playoff run when they obviously went on to win the cup I believe that anybody who's ever hit 29 Points as a defenseman individually I want to say kale Mar hit that two years ago when they won the Stanley Cup everybody in the one to four slot who has had that many points as a dmen their team has gone on to win the cup so that might be the argument on the back end for for spers fans to say we have another X Factor whammy oh another whammy they have three x factors so they might have triple x triple X and they also got that in the stands too yes that's the Tits McGee baby we saw the big the big jugs come out in Dallas but not those nice ones like in Edmonton boys she had a nice little Ponch belly too she had the she had that big black leather belt which you know she wants to be choked and spanked with you know that Jesus know that you did some deep diving on that I didn't get around to analy in the B what do you mean I did R's texting with her and to to make matters even crazier the techs have not been going through that well because she apparently is at one bar because she works up north in Alberta at the oil R this is just it's just too perfect at this point can you explain to me how this shakes out for Canada as a whole I know it's big if Canada wins the Stanley Cup back but I know that like Maple e fans are maple e fans and that's it is that the same way for for senators fans and for Canucks fans or is there some sort of like unification in Canada right now where it's like we need the cut back on our soil okay so before I answer that just to quickly go back because I got distracted by Tits McGee and then at the forward position yes Edmonton has dry Sidle and McDavid who are are are world class top of the game probably top three players in the world McDavid being number one overall Florida has a deeper offense up front they have a better four lines that's you cannot debate that anybody who has half a brain in the hockey world will tell you that so going back to the is Canada on let me ask it again I I [ __ ] nailed it the first time I asked it let me let me set you up again let's I want to hear it again baby this is a major major major Stanley Cup for the entire country of Canada it's been so long 1993 they've been waiting since 1993 to get the cup back on home ice in Canada and the thing is there's multiple Canadian teams and I know that the Maple Leafs fans only care about the Maple Leafs Senators fans I don't know are they pulling for Edmonton or Canucks fans or Flames fans or is this only the city of Edmonton and their supporters that have been waiting so long for another Stanley Cup are they the only ones that are really taking this set that seriously making it that big of a deal or is it the entire country of Canada question the first time that was unbelievable no you made me the first time was better basically a cover song of my of my question great no because you being longwinded with it and throwing all this stuff at me it maybe it reminded me I believe it was Wayne who said that all Canada is going to be behind Edmonton this on the panel and that's kind of what what sparked this whole conversation now I would argue that I think that more Canadians overall from a percentage standpoint are interested on whether Conor McDavid will LIF the standle cup rather than maybe more so the Oilers and a Canadian team winning it I believe that the fact that it's Conor McDavid this generational Talent a guy who has poured his heart and soul every fiber of his being into hockey since probably the young young age of like six years old this guy's a Phenom he deserves a cup but that doesn't necessarily mean anything you dealt with it with a guy like oetkin who had done all he did in the goal scoring department and everything he done for the game but what was held against him fact that he'd never won a cup and then he did and then it was like ah the weight of the [ __ ] world was off his shoulders so in order to be considered a great in the hockey world you have to get a Stanley Cup that is non-negotiable and this is his first crack at it so I think that that interest is more impactful in my mind than Edmonton itself winning but as a Canadian and as a Leafs fan I am I want Edmonton to win because I would love to see the cup come back to Canada yes I also think it's um you you can kind of like compartmentalize because it's a little bit it's not exact same but it's it's similar to uh college sports and rooting for your conference I never really actually root for my conference but there are certain things that are in the back of your mind like for March Madness the Big 10 has not won a national title in like 20 plus years I was not rooting for Purdue when they were in the National Title this year but if they had won I then would have used that going forward to be like hey we're not a joke anymore so it's like you're not maybe a maple leaf Fan's not actively rooting for the Oilers but if the Oilers win you know that you can at least like not have to deal with these jokes anymore that's okay that's fair and there's also like a tinfoil hat theory that Gary bman is like you know okay yeah these Canadian fan bases they're going to sell out every every billion but he's more concerned about growing the game in the states and and favoritism towards these American teams and blah blah blah blah blah so agreed with with part of what you're saying I think that Canadian people just want to say ha the Cup's back in Canada [ __ ] you okay so we we talked about the Edmonton Oilers uh X factors you have the Panthers in six is it as simple as if the Panthers play their game they should win this series yeah if there so last year the issue with Florida was where they they were a little bit banged up going into that finals and of course maybe the lack of experience and the fact that they had to really turn it on from the All-Star break last year all the way to to to the Stanley Cup Final in which it took a lot out of out of them they are a better overall team this year they still have the goal tending from bosi that they had last year I think they're a little bit better on defense uh because they picked up Oliver Ekman Larson who's making under $3 million and you know when he was at the top of his game when I was playing with him with the Arizona Coyotes you know he's uh at least a number two on most teams in the NHL so now he's basically in the in the bottom three defense of that team and as well as a guy uh Mika who's 66 huge body so these are their like five and six defensemen that they have who are once again they're not anchors they're very legitimate D yeah uh and then uh like I said going going up front man like they have guys who aren't even going to be in the lineup who are valuable players that could be inserted on their third line so they are all systems go Sasha barov uh easily in the world right now probably the new on copar as the best 200 foot center a guy who could be a point a game player but Co he's fast he back checks like a maniac he's the most reliable Center Ice uh uh position player I believe on the planet even more so than McDavid from a defensive standpoint maybe that not that offensive flare but then you got Matthew kachuck you got Sam Bennett the Menace who will [ __ ] knock you out with a sucker shot if you're not even paying attention uh Carter Verge as we call him vers swaggy so clutch uh with the goal scoring and the list goes on and on and on I said loose thean and then Lindell those are like their their second wave of offense there are very very few weaknesses if their all systems go it's going to be very difficult for the Edmonton Oilers to beat this team but what they don't have are Conor McDavid and Leon Andre Sidle if they are going beast mode then it's a it's a whole new series and who knows but listen I think this is probably the one of the best matchups we've seen in the Stanley Cup finals in a very very long time I'm excited for it and we were talking with Kane about how good their power play is in Edmonton is there something about their game that um that they do that invites more penalties that like they set they set up plays they work the puck around they put the other team in a position to to commit penalties so that way they get that man advantage and really Hammer home the power play well I mean it also depends who you're playing right so they played Dallas last round where for the most part Dallas was one of the most disciplined teams all season long as well into playoffs maybe a little less towards the end of the series and that's when Edmonton's power play started clicking but the way to draw penalties in hockey is you know you got to win your one-on-one battles so if you beat a guy you know he's either got to hook you on the way to the net trip you do what he can and Edmonton does have individual players like McDavid dry cidal um you know heyman's really in the net front he he Demands a lot of attention and they do have players where yeah you have to maybe pay a little bit more attention and haul them down more so than usual and that's just based on the the power and speed of of the top end skill that they do have but once again that's not something that Florida doesn't have either but the good the the the what's even been even more impressive about the Edmonton Oiler is aide from their amazing power play that I want to say is clicking above 35% for playoffs is their penalty kill they've killed off 28 straight penalties the NHL record in playoffs I believe is 38 straight which is that's even crazier the fact that somebody did that but Edmonton's PK throughout the season was Miss me it was very average even after na block their new coach who took over after about 15 games he handed it off to Mark Stewart the penalty kill was actually even went down a little bit from that first 15 games where I think it that in the last let's say 50 games games this season their power play was or PK excuse me was clicking at about 76% yeah now in playoffs it's just shy under 94% which is remarkable so their overall special teams has been a much added boost for the Edmonton Oilers and a big reason they're in the finals but going back to special teams Florida they they have an unreal penalty kill and their power play was one of the best all season long as well with a guy I didn't even mention earlier Sam Reinhardt I think he led the league in power play goals with like 30 maybe above that finish the season with like 56 or 57 goals so he's he's a beast too they have weapons bro weapons okay I got one last hockey question for you uh goalies Skinner vers goalie Bob uh is Bob hurt a little because I thought I saw some Rangers fans saying he might be a little hampered with something he's dealing with but what what would you say like in terms of the goalies obviously Bob is the better go but Skinner's been playing I mean he was incredible in that game six against the Stars so uh like strengths weaknesses between the two of them so uh let's start with bosski so he's the the Russian goalie that in Florida got that big contract he signed like an eight-year deal at 10 million per and and kind of lost his game and then that's bosski last year um on that playoff run found it and he's kind of playing all this season and so far in playoffs exactly like he was last playoff I have not heard one word about him being potentially injured so that is news to me and especially fair enough and as that series went on against Florida he was obviously Stellar but they weren't allowing a lot of high danger chances they had New York Rangers nuts in a vice yeah maybe because he was injured and they were like we have to we have to do our job keep out at the at yeah at the end of the day most of the time if you're a team like Florida and you're limiting teams to let's say 25 shots on goal and only you know four or five high danger chances a game it's going to be hard for them to generate and obviously win so to me right now goalie goal tending looks fine overall team defense looks fine nothing wrong with Bob that to to be worried about I just saw one tweet I saw one tweet and I was like oh that's interesting Hey listen I'm the guy who reads Twitter and then all of a sudden starts spouting off too so actually everything I think I've said so far on this podcast is probably false and things that I read off Twitter I love that going across the ice to Skinner Skinner struggled a little bit in that round against Vancouver to the point where they put Calvin picker to net their backup to play back-to-back games and he did well you know he did did solid but they had the confidence to put Skinner back in game six in game seven of that Series against Vancouver and I think he's played eight games since being put back in he's six and two and I'd have to look it up online as far as his numbers but overall it looks like he's fixed a few things in his game game he's not moving uh as much he's not challenging um out uh off the goal line as much he's a little bit backed up he's using his size more and he's kind of like a a blocker as opposed to a reactor and when you're when he uses his size properly and he doesn't get like you know all fidgety and n and he just works his proper angles he is dialed in and he's doing everything that he needs to do in order for them to win so well above a 900 save per percentage he was better than ainger in that last round and he came up with some big huge saves so um I would say that if you wanted to call the goal tending matchup even going in based on how they're both playing I would say let's call it even so that's where I'm at but most people with experience and with proven this bosi does have two vzna trophies but he has never won the big one in the Stanley Cup finals all right keep an eye might be injured though we don't know so so so Wayne Gretzky's brother Keith Gretzky is a uh the assistant general manager of the Edon Oilers and knows a lot about their farm team and three four years ago the Bakers field their AHL team had made a couple runs where I don't think they were expected to make runs in the cder Cup playoffs and Wayne was like you know oh like what are they doing well and Keith was like they have this goalie Stuart Skinner he's won at every level he's as clutch as they come come playoff time I believe he's going to help the Oilers win a Stanley Cup in four or five years and sure enough here we are we're going in the Stanley Cup Final and he has made a lot of good help with with draft picks and calls on some of their prospects coming up and this could be one of them all right we'll keep an eye on him uh so back to the go tender being injured situation maybe um how does that work in terms of injury reports that teams put out in in the playoffs are they always do they do they play it straight if you got an injury they put it out or do sometimes teams withhold that information and just not disclose it at all so I think in football you they have to say exactly what it is that's bugging these guys at a certain date and time in hockey it's very private they they usually just go with lower body injury or upper body injury and that's all the information you're getting and then of course playoff ends for a certain team they do their end of the year press conferences and media scrums and then you find out the laundry list of injuries that those guys had throughout playoffs MH yeah all right so big I had one last question for you it's a rowback question rhob bac.com promo code take 20% off your first purchase qips polos hoodies joggers shorts and bathing suits roback.com promo code take uh we are going to see you in two weeks in Vegas two and a half weeks uh for the beer games but you also have agreed to be in the dingers only League yeah with yans which we're announcing it right now I I know I said that I had a verbal commitment on Twitter but you you are you are part of this league now we're going to do the draft on that Monday are you ready for this do you know anything about baseball if you lose are you going to be ready to pitch against the college baseball team okay so here are the things I know about baseball that the worst umpire in the history of the world is retiring after this season oh I think he's out he quit spent more time with his family this summer yeah yeah oh he just oh so I my understanding was it was originally said that he was this would be his last year but then he just completely shut the mill he I think he shut it down yeah do you think he had his Twitter mentions on yes no that was the story that he got bullied online he was like I'm sick of all the hate it's like well dude you suck is I I don't know I don't follow baseball but is this a commitment that I'm making more so than just the day that we draft do I have to do this all summer no no that's the beauty of this league the league is is as simple as it gets we each all of us draft nine players and you get I think a 10th uh Reserve player and you there's no lineups or anything that you set it's just you go and it's the only stat is home runs and we update it every week but the only thing is if you lose you have to get six outs against a college baseball team will'll play the field if if you lose like you'll pitch I'll probably catch PFT and Max and Hank will be in the Outfield so you'd have they'll be there they'll be there that afternoon yeah you yeah we did it PFT lost last year he got had to get six outs against the college baseball team and I pitch pitch yeah if you lose I only hit one one guy yeah oh okay if I yeah let's do it I love that I like that whole I'm actually leaving Monday morning I'm driving to Vegas and then I will be there for whatever time your draft is let's hope it's at like what 2 or 3 o' yeah whenever you get there we'll do it we'll have some drinks it's like and and it takes like it it takes like a couple hours but it's just us [ __ ] around saying names and we don't know what we're saying how about how about I'll 100% do it if uh if you guys take mushrooms with me not oh no star arms oh you're a big mushroom guy yeah well I mean I'm going to the sphere the two day on the Saturday and Friday before that yeah we're we're fun guys yeah okay let's do it I'm in I'm in I don't know about yans on the shrooms but he'll definitely be there okay all right how many baseball players can you name right now oh this is uh I can name uh Bryce Harper yep uh who's the guy you guys yich yeah okay I'll count that I like I like him he's he seems like a good dude doesn't really hit home runs but yeah uh um Carlos Stanton yeah car car we'll give him that Carlos Stanton John Carlos yeah um oh who's the guy who got busted with the gambling you got this Otani yeah uhuh that's four o Shanti atani what's his first Shanti atani um who oh uh who's the guy in Anaheim he's the big dog um oh [ __ ] maybe the best hitter of all time he actually no he's like Barry bond is that guy but he's like historically good he's like Conor McDavid if Conor McDavid never made the playoffs I think it starts with a T doesn't it yeah it's a fish oh trout Mike Trout that's it thanks for I know I know enough I know enough of him I really like the guy from Cincinnati who he just seems to be a [ __ ] character that doesn't give a care in the world he's actually Canadian I think uh he are you talking about Joe vad Joey vad he's a Canadian yeah I I don't know if he is is he is Joey I'm pretty sure he's Canadian think he is you're right sean Shawn Paul's not Canadian Jo yeah yeah yeah so so we're going to do we'll we'll have a whole cheat sheet for you so we'll have a list of everyone's because the thing is we do the draft it's already like halfway through the season so we'll have a list of everyone who's already you know what their home runs are they don't count the home runs they hit before the draft don't count but you can see like who's doing well and who's not and then you just pick off that it's very it's as easy as possible I'm I'm so excited and I I I'm pumped that you guys are spending a little even more time that you have in the past invested in the Stanley Cup Playoffs because it's been a great run and it like I said for all your fans who might be just casual hockey fans this is going to be an unbelievable final and there's a lot at stake and and a generational talented player might end up hoisting the Stanley Cup for the first time so even for you capitals fans you can you can really relate to this watching Obie trying to get his cup it's been nine years since mcdavid's been in the NHL and and it's the first time he's in the Stanley Cup finals that's a long time that's a long it would it would put to bed the narrative out there that I've heard you know all over the place which is he can't win the big one that he's not good enough to win the big one so on one hand I would not like to give that narrative up on the other uh I I understand the pain and the suffering that he's going through

and now here's Evander Kane okay we now welcome on a very very special guest he is from the Edmonton Oilers it's Evander Kane uh getting ready for the Stanley Cup finals how are we feeling uh you know on the preice of being in your first Stanley Cup Final yeah obviously uh really exciting it's taking a long time to to get to this stage and um it doesn't happen every year so uh really excited uh for our group and and obviously individually it's it's been a long time coming as I said and um I'm looking forward to kicking it off uh on Saturday night did you guys make a pack before uh game six against the stars that you wouldn't be touching the trophy because it would it felt very coordinated that you weren't going to be touching the trophy um I'd be lying to you if I said there wasn't some whispers about it prior to the game uh obviously we wanted to make sure we got the job done first and foremost but uh yeah after after we squeak that one out uh everybody was on the same page we weren't touching it and we're gonna wait until we got the big one yeah I didn't even think about it it's like a Superstition like double jeopardy because you don't want to talk about what your plan is with the trophy before you get the trophy but you also got to get a plan for the trophy to not touch the trophy yeah like I said there were some Whispers there wasn't anything you know really that much out there but I think we all knew what we were doing and and obviously when the game was over uh we weren't touching it I think it was you I think you were the one I think you were like don't touch that [ __ ] trophy don't do it don't put inition on your part yeah you go yeah are there any uh any nerves going to the Stanley Cup you know what I think uh you know a lot of us obviously haven't been uh to a cup final before I think we have obviously we got a guy like Cory Perry who's been to five of them on five different teams um so he has that type of experience and I know Matias eom he's uh he's been to a Cup Final in Nashville before so um you know the thing about our team is we just kind of take it game by game like it's any other game and I I don't Envision um Stanley Cup Final uh rattling us or or getting us overly nervous um to have an effect on our game so uh you know that's one thing I really like about our group any additional pressure knowing that you're representing Canada as a whole trying to win the cup back for the first time in forever yeah I mean obviously um Canada hasn't had a staning cup in a long time I think it was 93 um I don't know how many Canadians are actually cheering for our team uh you know we played Vancouver uh in the second round um Toronto's Toronto as as a couple of our teammates have mentioned um but uh you know if that's what it's going to be we're more than happy to take that that on but uh at the end of the day we're worried about the Edmonton Oilers is there is there a noticeable speed difference between regular season and postseason and is it is it do you think it's going to even go up another level because guys talk about that with football where it's like the Super Bowl is just a different level of speed um do you anticipate that that there's going to be a different level of speed or nerves or you think it's just gonna be hockey once you get out there you know what I think there's a massive difference between the regular season in the postseason um I think the intensity uh and the desperation that guys play with is is I don't want to say drastically different but it's it's it's noticeably different um and and that only continues to ramp up as As you move on uh through each Series so um I I think you know you see guys that maybe aren't blocking shots in the regular season that are diving face first in front of pucks um you know to keep it out of your own net at the end of the game and I think uh you know it just shows how important um winning is uh to each and every individual on a group especially when you're trying to win the s a cup yeah yeah and your power play has been so awesome and been it's been so fun to watch uh talk a little bit about like what your mentality is going into a uh an man Advantage when you know that okay there's a pretty good chance like 50% we're going to score do you guys just expect to score every time um I mean I think our power play has been historically great uh it was the best player power play percentage over the course of regular season last year in the history of hockey um you know I don't know if you're ever going to repeat that again but you know obviously especially in that first round um you know it did a job for us to to win a set Series in in a quick fashion I think we have a confidence uh that it's either going to score or it's going to create momentum for our group and I think when a power play is doing that uh you know you obviously set your team up for some success yeah if you have a power play where you don't score you're saying that sometimes just having a great power play you you end up playing with more confidence when yeah just having touches wearing down the other team uh you know being in their Zone the entire time uh wearing down the goalie a little bit him having to make big saves him getting moving in the crease and I think it just builds confidence when you get Puck touches out there um because when you get those maybe the next shift uh you know you're confident a little bit more confident with the puck yeah it builds momentum for your group all right I got a two-part question I wanted to go back to your uh first year in the NHL and your first big fight against Matt Cook which if you haven't watched is one of the cleanest Knockouts you've ever seen uh in that moment Matt Cook was like kind of the big badass on the Block at that time in that moment did you know going into that game I'm gonna have to fight Matt Cook or was it a spur of the moment are you or and afterwards you like I kind of earned my stripes here yeah so I'll tell you the story so yeah that was the last game actually of the regular season for us and we weren't making the playoffs that year so that was the last game in my first year and earlier in that first period um me and Crosby were kind of going out a little bit um you know and I was kind of getting in his face a little bit and then I forget the other guy's name but uh there's another big or there's another big tough guy on Pitch they had two tough guys that's when every team had two fighters you know 15 years ago on every team and the other guy was uh Mike R and Mike these are two massive guys and I'm just an 18-y old kid and they're now getting in my face asking me to fight them and I'm like I'm not fighting you guys like that's just not happening so then the second period rolls around and I remember El Kovalchuk in then your mission he said hey just make sure you keep your head about there because you know these guys are coming after you so then uh Matt Cook kind of asked me to go uh early in that second period I believe it was and uh I was more than happy to oblige and uh ended up knocking him out and I remember sitting in the Penalty Box for like in real time it was like 20 minutes and he still was not off the ice and I'm thinking geez I don't want to be the first guy in my first year to kill somebody fight because he wasn't moving so uh I was happy to see him get up but then the very next season he eled me right in the chin and wouldn't want didn't want to fight me again because I mean if you get knocked out I want to fight that guy the very next time I have an opportunity because it can't go any worse for you yeah but he was a he was a dirty dirty player yeah he his lesson like yeah it is one of the cleanest like do you how often have you watched that back because you can't get a cleaner knockout yeah well no I mean when I when it happened I mean I probably watched it I'm not even over exaggerating 300 times um and then I got a I actually got a gift basket from the Boston Bruins uh later that year wow in the off season because of what he did to Mark sard wow that's awesome that is sick we were talking to to Yandel a couple weeks ago about what you say when you're trying to get into a fight with somebody whether you're the person who's instigating it who wants to fight and he said usually it's like you want to go you want to [ __ ] go or you want one and then if you don't want to fight you just say uh my coach told me I'm not allowed to so for you for you do you got anything that you say like right off the bat like let's [ __ ] go uh it depends who it is it really depends who it is um I I rarely fight where it's like you know I'm just fighting to fight it's usually off emotion um or something's transpired uh during that play um I remember just earlier this year I asked uh Brendan Dylan who was actually a teammate of mine in San Jose I just there was no real animosity you know there wasn't anything but I just kind of wanted to get myself going so I just said yeah you want one and he said absolutely so we went and gandal was right that's the are those are kind of the three phrases you use and if you're fighting off emotion usually you don't ask you just start throwing yeah that's a very cordial way of saying it you want one absolutely Ely well it also feels like somebody asked me if I wanted one it sounds like if I say yes I'm saying yeah I want you to kick my ass yeah I would say no you want one yeah you want one yeah back and forth just getting you want one off who wants one yeah you just like very Canadian friendly like just going you want one you want one no you want one over and over that's the ultimate respect yeah but so all right so you mentioned that like that that Matt Cook fight you didn't want to fight the guys who are like massively bigger than you but you did fight Chara later on in your career that was stupid I mean yeah it probably was but at the same time it wasn't I wasn't an 18yar old in my rookie year um he kind of I mean he's seven feet tall on the ice so he hit me in the head and I went down and I looked at the ref and his arms were glued to his kneecaps and uh I was so mad that there wasn't a penalty on the play so I just turned around and I jumped Chara and I had him in this I thought pretty good headlock but he just kept standing up like he just kept getting taller so that my arms were now I don't have my headlock and now we're he strung me out and that's the worst possible position to be in on a guy who's a foot taller than you yeah and uh I just kind of held on for for dear life and made sure my face wasn't pounded into the cement yeah so so the second part of the question that was uh started with Matt Cook was the Panthers do play a physical Style hockey and you know we've seen kachuck uh get into scraps and be physical so do you know like going into this series is it going to be a little different where it's like I got to set a tone or just be ready for this no I I mean I I think this is going to be a very physical series they obviously have some guys um that like to scrum it up after the whistles Dallas was very different with the team we just played um obviously uh we played a couple of their guys um that were on calary before a couple years ago in the playoffs kachuck being one of them um so there is a bit of a history there um you know I I anticipate it being a very spirited emotional series um with two teams wanting to try to impose their game on one another so uh I'm sure I'll be right in the middle of that yeah you that was a nice way of saying you're gonna hate their guts by the end of this thing yeah spirited physical yeah it's gonna get nasty yeah it's gonna get nasty I I love your your home ICE advantage that you have in Edmonton 2o and we're dumb fans we watch on TV so all we know is really what the camera shows us um you guys have a great fan base really good fan base um are you talking about a specific fan uh no are you talking about a specific fan no but I I I thought you were maybe talking about a specific fan I I mean maybe there is like if I rack my brain uh yeah I'm racking I'm racking yeah there's one was she what was he he or she wearing uh it was a jersey got it you got a lot of fans that wear your jersey most of the time and then sometimes they're not wearing all of your jersey yeah they kind of take part of it off um I believe it was even at a game it was at like a watch party too like we were on the road plane yeah that's right that's even better so how how quickly after that game is over did you guys pass around the phone in the locker room and be like look what our fan did well I think it was almost impossible not to see that video um several times being in Evington and just turning on your cell phone right um yeah I mean we have an incredibly again I'll use the word passionate fan base um and I think that was a great example of that yeah was awesome get in fights in the locker room uh trying to argue like what Jersey she would he or she was wearing you know what I I don't know how many people were actually looking at the Jersey yeah true but after like the thousandth watch you know you could be like yeah apparently it was discovered she was wearing a Sam gagers oh oh that's a massive dub for him dude he's a long time stoie old school yeah so obviously um you know he was an oil a long time ago as well for a lot of years and and a fan favorite so um no surprise I guess that's got to be huge for him just little peping his step him like damn yeah McGregor's yeah or mcdavid's probably walking around the locker room afterwards like yeah that's my jersey obviously she was wearing my jersey yeah and it's also that old saying like you never you don't die until uh the last person utters your name like he he his career goes as long as someone's flashing their tits with his jersey on you say utters UTS yeah yeah you could say utter what is that wrong no with D's oh yeah yeah two D's with double D's midd yeah yeah yeah yeah it was fantastic just you just watched us do the show for a second there yeah is your ice shinier it it looks shinier on TV uh compared to who compared to every other every other team it it seems like you guys have the best ice in the league maybe we just have really good Lighting in the arena it's one of the best Arenas uh definitely in the league so maybe it's just the lighting I don't know it was crazy how bad you guys were to start the season now you're in the sty Cup Final was there ever a moment in the beginning of the Season where it's like [ __ ] this isn't just a slow start like we actually have to kind of start worrying that we're we're getting too deep here yeah I mean after the first 10 games uh you know it was kind of continuing and I don't want to say dealt but we we definitely the the urgent see um was at an all-time high to to end this slump or whatever you want to call it and and get back into the winning column and we have to play catchup now we really start have to put some wins together five six seven games in a row just to start climbing in the standings to get ourselves back in a playoff spot um and we did that we did that tenfold we won eight in a row uh we won 16 in a row um and and obviously got ourselves back to where we thought we would be at the beginning of the year so uh that was impressive was there a moment where it started to click and you were like okay this is this is something we can build off of yeah I think um you know it was the game in Washington um a couple of guys said some things in the room before we played Washington I had made a bet with the boys if we won five or six in a row or seven in a row it was I'd wear double Rolexes for warm-up um which I ended up having to do uh and then when we were winning 16 in a row we had a bet going with if we' made it 20 uh Dave was going to have to wear a grill and warm up so um we we didn't get to 20 I'm sure he was probably not happy about it but not overly disappointed so he didn't have to follow up uh with that Grill and warmup if you win a cup he has to do it oh yeah I think uh yeah we we'll take it one step at a time we're four wins away we'll start with Saturday yeah we can't we can't we can't talk about it we can't remember we're in superstitious like will you guys be no like I was gonna say will you touch the cup if you win it I can't ask that can't even ask that touch the cup no what maybe they win it will we touch the cup maybe they I can answer that yes oh you jinxed yourself dude why would you do that no no no no no that that's a common sense question everybody does you never know so you're satisfied talk about it you're satisfied with one cup cuz if it were me personally I wouldn't touch the cup the first time bad luck cuz I want to win two in a row I wouldn't touch the cup until I won like five think I'm GNA I'm going to challenge you on that I think every person who's won multiple Cups has touched at the first time right but they they they top themselves off like you keep touching the cup eventually you're going to stop winning cups what if you never touch the cup you just going to win forever I'm I wouldn't be satisfied with winning cup I'm already thinking about the next one the first person to not touch the cup might win Infinity cups we don't know yeah I mean that's we don't know that's not my case I rest my G good point yeah don't know we don't know yeah it might be a sensitive topic to bring up but um I I was watching an interview with you the other day and you were T it was right after you had the the devastating wrist injury uh when you got your wrist Run Over By by Pat maroon skate and uh you were talking about how you're going to start wearing Kevlar around your wrist or you were thinking about some sort of protection is that something that you're doing now on both wrists yeah yeah I am I wear a cut resistant uh undershirt under my equipment that has uh Kevlar on both wrists so that they protect them it was honestly it was shocking to me to hear you so soon after that injury which was it was a life and death moment for you so soon talking about getting back on the ice getting back with the guys spending time with them because if it if it were me I would be like I'm never I'm never playing hockey again like that I could see somebody going that direction did you know like from the instant you started your recovery like okay I'm I'm a hockey player I'm going to go back and play hockey or was there a small part of your brain that was like maybe it might be time to hang this one up no no I never had any um any thoughts about any my career over that type of injury um I think you know my biggest Focus was wanting to be able to come back that year um because early on or after I got a surgery you know they had kind of ruled at least the regular season out for me um and maybe be back for the playoffs um and then when I actually got all the bandages off and I saw the the wound I was actually kind of sick when I first saw it to be honest um but I ended up coming back in two and a half months which uh nobody thought yeah I'd be able to do um and uh yeah I I put a lot of work into trying to get my feeling back and desensitize uh that area um as much as I could I still have sensitivity but um yeah definitely uh not how you draw a year going uh with an injury like that and it was a scary moment for me when it happened super scary moment um but I guess the only like upside now is do you kind of feel like Batman when you put on your Kevlar well I definitely feel more protected I I mean honestly I wouldn't I honestly wouldn't um get on the ice in an NHL atmosphere uh without that on yeah I think just you know with what I went through and having those flashbacks a little bit I definitely feel a lot more secure on the ice um you know because honestly it happens more than you think it actually happened to me again this year where it saved my other wrist W kind of got it wasn't as it wasn't as prominent as obviously somebody stepping on your wrist but you know it was just kind of a glancing skate blade that you know if I wasn't wearing that I probably would have been cut not as severely but um it did save me so uh it does happen it's the same thing with those cut resistance socks um you know it happened to a player uh a bunch of years ago where he cut his Achilles yeah and the whole league kind of got these cut resistance socks in I put them on right away and two games later um I got stepped on with a hit it wasn't stepped on it was kind of you know two guys going to the boards and the skate came down behind my boot and it actually cut the cut resistant sock and um I had a small very small cut on my leg but if I wasn't wearing those it was where the major artery was and I could have you know you never know so it's it's a very dangerous sport hockey is and I think anytime you can put on something a little bit more Protec effective uh especially when it comes to cut resistance stuff why not yeah that's I mean that's crazy I mean I remember when it happened with your wrist and like the Panic it was just like you because you don't see it very often on the on the ice where a hockey guy's like this is a problem right now we have to fix it right now you know and just how scary that moment was but yeah no it uh it definitely was scary yeah happy every I mean now you're in the Stanley Cup Final is this is awesome so uh I wanted to ask you about McDavid and playing with him can you explain the difference in his speed versus everyone else uh to people who might not have watched enough McDavid this year the last few years yeah you know obviously he's an incredibly fast player in straight lines and whatnot um you know there's lots of fast players but I think what separates him is that his entire all his Limbs and his mind work in unison together at that speed you know his hands move as fast as feet hisin moves as fast as his hands you know he he's so coordinated um and then obviously just the strength on his edges um and I think there's probably no better example of that than the goal he scored in game six against Dallas yeah um you know it's it's it's something that I don't think any player possesses in terms of that type of skill set um and and obviously uh you know one of the best to ever do it if not the best to ever do it yeah I mean that goal that was just it was it was a joke that goal was a joke it looked like it was it looked like a goal you'd see in like an All-Star game not game six of the Western Conference Final yeah it looks like a goal like you're playing three on three with your buddies in the summer right has there been is is that the most impressive thing that he's done or has there been another play that uh might not be in as big a moment where you watch him and you're like that person is is simply not human um I mean gez there's been so many incredible goals he scored uh to date that's probably the most impressive thing that he's done that I can remember off the top of my head um and I think when you have it in that type of a moment it amplifies so so I'll give him that for right now yeah do you think they should bring the Thrashers back you got drafted by the Thrashers you were the last Thrashers draft pick uh F first round draft pick right I was the second last alist was the was the last yeah um I loved Atlanta I love my time there I had uh an incredible two years the fans in Atlanta um I think we're awesome I think it's a great city to live um lots to do I'm all for getting hockey back in Atlanta yeah great idea good franchise is there a city in either Canada or the United States that you think deserves a hockey team um I mean I I would again I'd argue Atlanta I I just I'm a real uh Homer in that regard you know that's where I started my career at my first two years there I had great experiences and and I'd love to see hockey back in that market it um with the red ownership group I think I think it would do incredibly well what do you think about biz's mustache do you like it or you like this this looks like a caterpillar died on his lip yeah I think uh you know he's rocked a lot of different uh hairstyles and facial hair cells in the past I think I think this suits him to be honest the best I think it really does yeah I think just a straight mustache that's perfect for him yeah um were you you were named after Vander Holyfield yes that's kind of that's a lot of pressure when did you realize the pressure I I honestly never looked at it that way I think my you know my I kind of had a very athletic family uh growing up U my dad played hockey he he was an amateur boxer my cousin uh Kirk Johnson was a professional boxer um so there was a lot of boxing in my family and uh my grandfather his favorite boxer was Evander Holyfield and uh my Dad decided to my dad and mom uh decided to name him after me so um or name me after him pardon me and I actually got an opportunity to meet him in Atlanta uh my rookie year so that was pretty cool because he was living there we we got a uh opportunity to not interview him but we got a listener just duped us and texted our producers saying that if Vander Holyfield wanted to come on the show and we just sat in a hotel room for like 3 hours waiting for him to show up and he just didn't show up it was a good prank it was a good prank so that's our Vander Holyfield story well you're named after one of the best boxers of all time and maybe the best wrestler of all time too it's a strong name yeah Kane Kane yeah Kane yeah yeah yeah Undertaker's brother yeah yeah I was a big WWF fan growing up who's your favorite The Rock oh I kind of don't like you anymore now I'm I'm A Stone Cold guy I'm A Stone Cold guy yeah but I mean I mean they made each other like I'm a huge Stone Cold guy too like nobody wants this you know double middle finger in the air and be smashing beers more than me you know especially if we win so I mean I love stone cold too but the rock he just had that extra Charisma and that Showmanship right it was hard not to like yeah I mean whenever he did the eyebrow the eyebrow was good got the people going the elbow was good too got the people going yeah yeah so so you're growing up um how early did you learn how to skate when did you first put the skates on I was three years old so like right after you start walking skates yeah yeah I started skating at 3: uh my dad got me on the ice to me to a public skate and that's all she wrote I was I worked with my dad um my entire career but he was the one I kind of worked with specifically early on um before I got to the NHL and is a big reason why I am where I am what's the longest you've gone without skating oh uh eight months that's a long time yeah I had shoulder surgery so that one makes sense long long yeah long long time did you grow up a canox fan yeah uh Colorado and Vancouver were my favorite teams um you know I was a big Marcus nasin fan Big Joe sack fan big Peter forsberg fan um those are kind of my favorite players along with ainla so uh I was big fans of of Colorado and Vancouver yeah those Colorado teams were very good is is there a guy that uh that you looked up to like you you get into the league and all of a sudden you're on the ice skating against him a guy that you've been watching for years yeah my my first my very first exhibition game I was incredibly Star Struck I was we were playing Nashville and Paul Korea was on the other was on Nashville warming up on the other blue and I looked over like it's just crazy like I was like eight years old you know watching Paul Korea play for the Mighty Ducks and now out here playing against him and and then the other guy would probably be uh Drome MCA um you know I kind of I wouldn't say modeled my game but I really liked his style of play um and obviously to play against him uh early in my career was pretty cool yeah um all right I had one last question this has been awesome Evander we really appreciate you taking time before the uh Stanley Cup Final starts uh rowback question rhob bac.com promo code take 20% off your first purchase qips polos hoodies joggers shorts roback.com promo code take um so my last question is in the Stanley Cup playoffs and now obviously in the final like hockey locker rooms from our perspective and we know biz wit very well and all those guys like it feels like a very uh jovial like joking around Place does it get a lot more serious before a big playoff game and is there that weird line where it's like hey we got to keep doing what we do we're doing why are we switching this up just because we're in the playoffs yeah yeah I think I think I touched on it earlier like our team is we're very business-minded you know we we we we're very serious but at the same time like you you know we're really tight we like to joke around um we're talking about lots of different things you know the morning of the game before pregame skate or whatnot joking around and I think um if that were to change I think that would be a negative uh that would have a negative impact on our group and I think we've done a really good job each round um as the pressure continues to mount um and the stakes get higher of staying with what we've been doing all year long and I and I don't see that changing um even in the staning Cup finals and I think if we do that uh and continue that off the ice it's going to lead to hopefully the same on Ice results we've had so you're going to maybe be like look at this video of this fan right before you go puck drop I will get her tto we have some new material that by that time I don't know that's yes play the hits play the hits just keep playing the hits somebody should get her tattooed on their body if they win the Stanley Cup well it won't be a veteran guy maybe a rookie yeah yeah I I might do it actually yeah she made she made me fall back a good move yeah that's a good move I like that yeah that'd be great yeah so okay so you're not going to say we're not going to do any official predictions for you guys but give us a road map how do how do the Oilers win the Stanley Cup what does that look like what do you have to do I think we just got to continue to play our game I think uh everybody obviously has to raise their level individually and I think if we do that um as a group uh you know our best uh I think will be good enough score more goals than them that's obviously a very good uh equation to winning a hockey game y Works yep take a lot of shots pucks on net pucks and bodies on that you know give you the old cliches uh pucks out at the blue lines puck in at their blue line you know finish your checks all that good stuff here's here's one just last one um maybe tell McDavid that like could you play a little bit more I don't know like a lot of guys don't Patrick Mahomes doesn't come off the field on offense like just stay on the ice the whole time yeah that's it's not realistic in Acky if it were me hockey's not that tough you'd have to drag me off the ice sounds like well yeah then it' be like a five on four and you know you're now helping the other te yeah you have to drag both of us off the ice so it's five on three yeah so this is this is an example of a great intellectual debate that we have on the show sometimes do you think that a team that has let's say 15 Conor McDavid but also Conor McD David has to play goalie do you think that that team could win the Stanley Cup um he has to play goalie yeah every position yeah you just get and he's playing against Real NHL teams yep yeah but it's just Conor McDavid on every position yeah I mean yeah that'd be tough that I'd probably say no still like goalie is a very important position and is way harder than people think okay like I had Danny Green come out uh in Vancouver and put on goalie equipment and he could barely move yeah okay here's six six seven 68 takes up a lot of the net yeah all right last one uh if you had 15 Evander kanes on a team and 15 charas on a team how many fights would the Evander kanes team win are we going like 15 on one or no no each each Evander going against Char like consecutively 15 fights oh I'd give I'd I don't know I I'd probably say uh maybe 10% of them okay that's not bad yeah so you win at least one a couple or two yeah yeah I'd sque got a couple you got a puncher chance on them yeah yeah maybe trips yeah exactly because really like correct me if I'm wrong obviously you can win a hockey fight if you knock someone out like you you did with Matt Cook but you could also win a hockey fight just by taking it to the ground and being on top of the other guy and then everyone's like oh he must have won yeah a lot of guys go for the takedown and the referees hop in yeah a lot of guys try to do that now I I'm not a huge fan of that um I don't think you won the fight because you took the guy down by stretch of the imagination so um but yeah you already seen that a little bit more I think that's some of the younger generation their whole UFC attitude with uh some of the on Ice fights yeah ground pound well good luck we're I think I speak for myself rooting for you yes I'm rooting for you yes I want I want I I want Canada to get one back I want this team to win one I want to sit I'm sick of having the conversation of whether or not McDavid can win the big one you think he can you think he can win the big one we're in the finals we're gonna do everything we can smart answer but I'm sick of having that conversation too it's so annoying media does this where they're like oh he can't win the big one it's like dude he's [ __ ] awesome and he's one guy on on on a team and he's got a great team around him but it's a team sport hockey the ultimate team sport if you R it to one guy winning the big one you don't know puck right yeah no hockey I think is the ultimate team sport it's not like other sports we can have one or two guys uh and you can win a championship that's just not the way right our sport is um it's it's almost impossible facts facts um all right well Vander best of luck man we really appreciate it and uh if you guys do win we'd love to have you back on awesome I appreciate it guys Fyre Fest thanks okay let's uh do some fire Fest welcome back to firefest it is

they're proud members of CLE or residents of CLE it's it's it's for charity it's for a good cause rather than just drinking beers with the [ __ ] boys perfect that is that is gonna be a great event everyone should should go to that event and not the P Olympics uh okay Hank yeah the spiders are back in a big way um I don't really I I don't really know what to do every time I get rid of them they keep coming back and they're I'll start taking pictures they're [ __ ] huge um I feel like I'm just eating spiders in my sleep which leades me to my next point if you guys I'm sure you all remember uh remember when I was like sleeping basically upside down last year my bed was angled and I didn't realize it for like a couple months like a can't say I recall I sat up my bed and and it and I oh the you you you didn't have the slats set up perfectly or something yeah I had them slanted downwards like I when I the slats were set up at the the the way I screwed it in like doab beam they came down yeah and I [ __ ] up my back stop touching the microphone and I think I say please let's go um I mean it's annoying all the listeners out there heard Hank just like grabbing the microphone they're probably like oh is my radio broken or my earbuds broken Hank we're taping this at 3:00 uh right after your afternoon or right before your afternoon Siesta you usually take a nap right around now no Siesta I'm at 4:30 what what and then I'm probably going to take a nap before the what was your what's your prediction for this game I don't know I'm nervous yeah see it's not me it's you you're you're you're the nervous little thing right now selck by six who 3 four6 okay didn't cover no who cares do you have a marriage bet with Tiffany uh yeah we're working on something we're we're trying to figure that out before the game time I think the loser should have to smooch the winner I yeah I suggested the loser has to pay for M stuff our trip uh wherever we choose to go together yeah and what what airline not American yeah but epod episod a facto long story short um I'm I I was like on the phone I was I was doing some day drinking Saturday and I was just on the phone with someone and I kind of like not jumped on my bed but just like fell on the bed on the phone and I think I broke one of my slats you having phone sex no I was just you broke your bed having phone sex you you guys are you're the worst never mind I haven't checked the damage I haven't said you were drunk you called someone on the phone and was on the phone with a friend being making plans okay and I pretty sure what were the plans like oh I'm going to come in 10 minutes I'm done SS in five go ahead go he's sleepy finish finish I no this is this is a I can't exist I can't finish I apologize I can't speak I can't exist finish based off my sleep the last couple nights I'm pretty sure I I broke the slats of my bed and I haven't checked it well yeah they might not be broken they might just you know how they can come off but they're not broken yeah so just look just lift your mou you just haven't looked well I forgot I woke up this morning again and was like what the [ __ ] and then I left and then it like hit me today I was like oh a normal person would just look the minute they woke up and said what the [ __ ] I was I didn't know what it was we I got up at 6:30 this morning so I was just like I must be tired and then I was like oh and then I was like my back hurts I was like oh I think [ __ ] yeah you just lift the mattress up and the slats probably fell down in between the Box correct that so they're not broken we'll see who knows could be anything I love the fact that you just slept on an uneven bed for like a year you were sleeping upside down it it was like 3 months and he's also he just started a new streak it's going to be another three months here before he looks under his mattress yep no I'm I'm going to get to the bottom of it are you yeah when probably not tonight tomorrow tomorrow maybe Celtics when Tiff comes helps you repair your bed so tune in for the mayor's bet yeah nice okay I'm excited uh my firefest suggestions any suggestions that aren't actually that dum do you want do you want to do you want to take that back yeah okay it's an easy fix anyways my firefest of the week is um I posted this online yesterday you said you had a doozy is this the doozy yeah this is doozy okay um life goal accomplished yes put the check mark next to it your boy got an El Camino it's been my dream car for a very long time there's one word to describe an El Camino and it's bitching this ride is [ __ ] sweet 1970 SS racing stripe cherry red it is the El Camino of El Caminos so I got it it purrs it makes it great noise and I was driving around yesterday and uh I I parked it on the side of the road and now it won't start oh now it doesn't start far is Awesome by the way congratulations it was incredible I'm happy very very happy for you I'm actually thinking about getting a mullet as an accessory to my car because the the El Camino is a mullet of cars it's business in the front party in the back so it doesn't start now and I don't know what to do with it I guess I have to get it towed somewhere and have them fix it [ __ ] I got a lot of work I knew that I had to put some work into it it's not like 100% ready to roll yet um the sound systems awesome that's the important part uh but I have to fix like all the lights the wiring on the inside [ __ ] and now I I was cool with that I was like whatever you know like it's just wiring the the motor is fine it's it's been rebuilt it's going to do me good and I pulled it over and now it doesn't start so it's just on the side of the road right now and uh I have feeling like this is I'm just going to have to become like a car guy it's going to be the thing that I try to fix up and never gets actually correctly fixed that'd be cool though it'd be cool and I'm an aspiring car guy in in the short time that I've had it I've realized why old dudes become car guys so I drove it around and every guy every dude that's above the age of like 45 stops you and like Flags you down it's like that's a cool car man what what's under the hood was that 456 and then you get into a conversation you make a new friend that that's how old guys make friends not only that but old cars break down that's how old guys just spend their day yeah just fixing their own car working on their car so I'm I'm going to have to figure out first of all what's wrong with it uh and why it won't start and then hopefully I can get it back in in working order shortly because this is the best car for the summertime and I need to have this ready for me for the summertime I was so excited yesterday and I I put out that video and then about literally an hour later the car just doesn't start now damn so whatever just play the video yeah just keep playing the video I do close my eyes I close my eyes and I think about it I'm like [ __ ] yes I have an El Camino at home for me yeah and uh I I'm very excited about the potential behind it but now I'm just I'm realizing that I'm going to just pour a bunch of money into fixing this car I'm very happy for you I my dream my El Camino like car is uh like just a sick old Cadillac yeah I want a sick old Cadillac or Bronco Bronco is more of a beach car but like a sick old Cadillac that can sit through three people in the front yeah like huge front end on it big ass boat yeah I want one of those so I I've been also thinking about how to accessorize the El Camino because it does need some sort of like flare to it it's a cool car but when you have an El Camino you have to have bitching bumper stickers so um the ones that I've got on my short list I want to get an ass gas or grass Nobody Rides For Free bumper sticker that's a good one um maybe Calvin ping on something Calvin ping on the Ford logo maybe Calvin ping on Charlotte the stingray Calvin ping on the Dallas Cowboys star y one of those things um one that says if you're going to ride my ass at least grab grab my hair I think that'd be a good one um and yeah maybe maybe one that just says like legalized soup I don't know I don't know but I got to I got to accessorize this thing get the hoola girl the fuzzy dice hanging from it customize horn maybe get maybe get max rolling around with a keg in the back so I'm like the ice cream guy but for beer so you just go around selling beer to dude dud it's unlimited your unlimited yeah I'm I'm very excited I feel like I've been an El Camino guy my entire life just without the El Camino but now that I have it it's not working so I don't know if you fix cars in Chicago let me know if if you specialize in 1970s cars I would I would love to hear from you because we got to get this baby Pur it also needs a name so uh feel free to give gota be chick name chick names Tiffany Carmen oh Tiffany's a good name Tiffany's a really good you just you so we said

red oh sexy red yeah sexy red sexy Red's pretty good sexy red yeah that's not a name it is for a car yeah and it's also a person an adjective and a color it's a person's name Andy Reid oh yeah yeah Andy Reid's not carella carella there you go Hank got another one sexy red sexy red is good my [ __ ] pink my transmission fluid Brown yeah sexy red SK you got a Camino now you can do that I can do anything I can do anything you're a Mr unlimited I I'm I I have transcended race I'm no longer a white man I'm a I've achieved the most powerful form of white boy summer of all time I'm a white boy with a [ __ ] El Camino you're ready to go um okay congrats again that's awesome thank you but I'm Afra I'm afraid I'm going to like double the price of the car just trying to fix it up yeah probably uh did by the way is VY Woodhead here I haven't seen it might have got way go check in the loading dock was it supposed to be here it was not here yesterday it was not here on Monday either I looked yeah the loading dock it's supposed to get here at some point yeah might be lost in Lost in the sawce somewhere out there Billy might have just gotten ahead of it on the road and then just carjacked the dude that's driving it over here yeah um all right I don't really have a firefest I guess I guess I got to just stop responding to people on Twitter because I every time I do I just realize that like then it just has a bunch of other people responded some guy was like you yawned a bunch on Sunday night I was tired and I was like yeah this is unfortunately having three kids is like there's I'm tired I don't have any time to myself which not a complaint because I love I have the best life ever but then just a bunch of people being like we didn't tell you to have kids there were some people who were backing me up but I just got to just not did they tell you to have kids those those people did not tell me to have kids okay so those if you did not tell big cat to have kids then you have a legitim mic rpe yeah it was a simple just response to why I was yawning not there uh that was why I was yawning I am I'm just perpetually tired just you're going to have to deal with it yeah I keep showing up yeah Hank has the same thing going on in his life maybe Hank's tired all the time because he sleeps on an uneven jagged edge of a bed yeah Hank sleeps on the aggro CAG and then he wonders why he's tired all day it's been like two days chill out you slept for four months upside down but if I yawn that's why it's not because I'm bored it's because I probably have not slept ever uh bigat can I step in real quick I think I think the appropriate person to blame for tiredness is actually Hank because Hank's always yawning cuz he's always tired and then you and then it's contagious and you catch it true so stop yawning true true true remember when you guys made me on in the podcast I do yeah disgusting y I haven't done it since um I also don't know what it is about this specific spring I don't know if you guys have felt this but like this is supposed to be our uh not as busy time and it's felt like it's way busier than ever way busier I don't know what's going on mhm someone didn't get the message that this is supposed to be our not busy time yeah I thought it was like after Memorial well I think it's after NBA finals and NHL finals yeah well that's basically but I already know the schedule for the rest of the summer and there's no break so I feel like uh yeah again these complaints are not real complaints we know we have the best job in the world I don't want anyone to be like I can't believe you guys are complaining about this I'm literally just stating a fact that's why I was tired go ahead yeah I was I was just going to say NBA NHL playoffs they're sneaky I think we have this conversation every year true they are we work later out than we do usually in football season CU football season late night Sunday and then late night Thursday I'm talking about NBA playoffs it's Sunday Tuesday Thursday night every night but we just have other stuff going on that's just I've been golfed all week I am going on three-day vacation next week we'll have regular shows don't worry uh okay you know what it is it's also knowing the Beer Olympics are coming Ah that's what it is that's what's you have something you just desperately do not want to do sitting in front of you for as long long as it's been sitting in front of us your whole life is just basically ruined yeah so if actually if you need to blame big cat for being tired blame Hank for yawning and also blame Will Compton for Beer Olympics for existing yeah yeah funny enough we were going to do a yak case race and I invited will he said yes and then he uh bounced out of it oh really yeah he doesn't like traveling places to drink beer yeah funny enough no you said he had to go to te which we would love to go to but we have the Dozen which we have the Dozen because of Beer Olympics being rescheduled yeah doesn't he have the Dozen yeah he said he's going to go and come back he doesn't plan on winning yeah they their whole team doesn't plan on winning he has a much shorter stop at the Dozen yeah uh okay Jake um I aggravated my arm a little bit don't ask how but how oh well since you asked I was lifting oh sick oh nice yeah yeah but running some biof freeze on it and should be good to go for this weekend oh what do you got plann this weekend golf nice yeah how much uh two maybe three who you are getting low-key jaked you're getting I see I can see the muscles you think yeah appreciate it you're getting a little Jack there yeah yeah working on it um you want to finish this off Max with your Deli slicer yeah no I found my new hobby and my passion in life which is Deli slicing but I may have to retire because cleaning it is a real [ __ ] this is like every everyone always has a a little flirtation with cooking and then they forget the cleaning part but this cleaning you have to get you have to get a screwdriver to clean it you have to like Donnie it's also I'm with Donnie who's like a professional worldclass cleaner of kitchen appliances why don't you just get an intern to clean it I that's that's an excellent point do I have the power do I have the power to do that yes yes that sounds like a medical emergency waiting to happen I I also cut my two of my fingers make one of the interns be just in charge of cleaning it cuz we don't I don't want to lose my sliced meat because you don't want to clean something okay good so the solution is make someone else clean it okay good no this is great but like cleaning it is a huge issue but the the deli slicer is great I got PFT on the sticks today how satisfying is it get getting a nice it was nice getting a nice hunk of salami in there and just hearing the of of the the engine of of the see you got the engine of the of the El Camino this week I got the deli slicer yeah the deli slicer is it's powerful and you feel good when you do it you feel like a man cutting your own meat I was saying that Max is our Jared from Subway podcast he said yeah you got the pants got the big pants that you like to hold up for Hank looks like sh that's true he does don't what uh Max why don't you just to clean it just get a big ass bar of soap and then just cut the soap like you're cutting the meat meat stuck inside of the blade so you have to take it all apart to get the meat and and the blade I don't know if someone if someone owns a deli and knows tricks to cleaning it let me know because that'll do donkey it was a disaster trying to figure out how to clean this thing hey you don't have to clean it every day right that's what I said but then Donnie was giving me [ __ ] leav some of the meat on it add some seasoning to it Donnie was giving me [ __ ] Max when am I going to get to cut a basketball uh I think it'll ruin the no so so I I told Max that we should actually we should cut a football and make a sandwich out of football yeah when am I going to be able to cut a basketball I mean if whenever cuz it doesn't matter it doesn't matter how one of those things cost it was like 500 bucks yeah yeah honestly it should pay for itself Donnie was talking [ __ ] on the one that you got oh he wants like a French one he want he wants a gill a guillotine he no he just said that you he was like yeah you just got a deli slier that's impossible to clean oh no oh we could we could upgrade what are you doing in my swamp listen what the [ __ ] was that he's just doing lines he Hank Hank tried to blame it on me Hank does have so much nervous energy right now and that is partially why he's putting on his little cape and his his his armor I can't wait to be MAV Max this week oh MAV Max yo you should do you should dress up like Mad Max Mad Max you and Drake Elite company fine Drake put a big bet on the maps oh Drake and Jared from Subway probably good buddies too Jack Max CFB put a big put a big bet on the Celtics and that's honestly terrifying for me yeah it should be it is I trust him I trust him more than most same always have you talk [ __ ] disrespect yeah yeah the way the way you just said that was disrespect you're being cheeky I've literally been the I've always had been big cat and I are the are the real we will not eat the bugs yeah we will not eat you and big cat are Elite glazers

get your slicer what we're going to slice no I don't want this ever to be worn again donkey what other lines of dialogue from you know ogres are like onions oh that's bad we have fers that was good Max what are you doing in my swamp Fiona wait so what is it Deli days once a week uh sure whatever you want it to be yeah meat day we can do we can do a different menu each week I think we can get better bread yeah the bread pug pug pug did that sorry pug pug going demato how many times yeah we we literally work next to like incredible Italian bakery if you were to put pug on the slicer how many slices do you think it would take to cut through all of pug oh good question I think uh well it depends how thin 175 oh you think that many I can get them thinner I could get them thinner yeah no you get you could do thicker slices no oh I thought we were trying to get it as thin as no I'm saying like what's the fastest you can cut through oh we got to get the jerky from poina we got to cut that how quickly do you think you know we should do a series like is it cake but could it slice will it slice and episode one Mr pear oh no no no well that would be part of the Sham list the Shameless
