Key Sections & Discussion Points

Indiana Bears Stadium Saga & NFL Stadium Drama

[03:08 – 09:22]

• The hosts riff on the recent vote in Indiana to pursue the Chicago Bears, poking fun at stadium politics, incompetent local government, billionaire owners, and NFL posturing.
• Big Cat: “It’s local government. It’s billionaires not paying for their own fucking stadium. It’s the NFL wanting everything… The fans getting screwed.”
• Frustration with how Bears President Kevin Warren has failed to get shovels in the ground for a new stadium.
• Satirical brainstorming: Why not have every NFL team threaten to move to Indiana? "Every team: Indiana."
• The hosts bemoan the loss of old stadiums and joke about turning places like Mars Cheese Castle or Hammond, Indiana, into new homes for pro sports franchises.
• Takeaways on negotiating (or threatening) with public officials for stadium funding.
• On future regret of making every stadium domed/indoors, and the futility of hosting major events like the Super Bowl for midwestern cities.

---

Olympics & Time Zone Complaints

[09:34 – 18:03]

• The hosts, joined by the regular crew, discuss the pain of watching Olympic events in European or Asian time zones ("I said I don’t like the Olympics when it’s not in our time zone — that’s just a fact." – PFT).
• Bit on just permanently hosting the Olympics in Hammond, Indiana.
• Conversation veers to the next Olympic host cities, the Alps, and silly names (“Busto Arsezio”), with the usual PMT geographical confusion and wisecracks.
• Transition to the main topic of Olympic men’s hockey, setting up anticipation for USA vs. Canada.

Olympic Hockey (Men’s & Women’s) Live with Biz and Wit

[50:59 – 86:33]

Setting the Stage

• Biz and Wit dial in for classic U.S.-Canada banter while both shows simultaneously watch the women’s hockey gold medal match (USA vs. Canada).
• Memorable introduction:
  • Wit’s birthday is celebrated (“I’m 43 years old today.” — Wit, [51:29])
  • Emotional crop-dust fart story (“I think that Wit’s birthday fart that stunk up this whole room, changed the momentum for the United States…” — Biz, [51:42])

Canadian and U.S. Men’s Games Recap

• Canada survived a scrappy Czech team despite a critical injury to Sidney Crosby.
• Discussed the red-heavy Czech uniforms contributing to missed “too many men on the ice” calls. ("It created kind of an illusion..." – Biz, [54:27])
• US vs. Sweden: Forsberg’s hesitance to shoot, Swedish coaching mysteries, and US strategy using “repair men” on overtime faceoffs.
• Wit's take: “I don’t love the fact it’s three-on-three. I do like the fact there’s no shootouts this year in the Olympics—at least in the gold medal game there won’t be.” ([59:48])

Overtime Format Debate

• Confusion over whether Olympic overtime in finals will be 20 min 5-on-5 or 3-on-3. (Turns out: 20 min 3-on-3, which stuns Biz, [61:47]).

US-Canada Women’s Hockey Live Watch & Reactions

• Hosts and guests react live as the US women defeat Canada for gold in a thriller, including a breakaway, OT, and emotional goal.
• Biz: “Right now the American coach is crying. Very emotional.” ([69:46])
• Wit: “I’ve never had a win over him in anything… Finally…” ([71:21])
• The guys needle and trash-talk in the spirit of the rivalry:
  • “You show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser.” — Dan ([71:02])
  • On American classiness: “We got to celebrate our wins! …I’m not gonna apologize for being excited about a win!” — Dan ([72:09])
  • “The Canadians don’t win with class. When they beat us, they pat us on the head…” — PFT ([72:27])

Gold Medal Game Preview (Men’s)

• Agreement that USA-Canada is imminent (with due respect for underdog Slovakia and Finland).
• Wit breaks down team strengths: “Our D is better, their forwards are better. Hellebuyck, I think, is a better goalie than Binnington…” ([83:50])
• High stakes: “This is the first time it’s been best-on-best in, what, 12 years… this is a big game.” — Wit ([84:52])

Classic Banter

• Foreskin bet returns; chirping about “mayor’s bets” and ridiculous forfeits ([85:38]).
• More taunting: “There’s nothing cooler than your co-workers talking about your foreskin.” — Biz ([86:00])

---

College Basketball Roundup

[22:06 – 47:47]

• Johnny Fanta’s legendary Mick Cronin meltdown prediction comes true ("No one’s ever called a shot harder than Johnny Fanta did." — Dan, [22:06])
• The hosts play audio of Cronin’s confrontation with a reporter (“Are you raising your voice at me? Come on, dude!” — Cronin, [23:02]), then break down why college hoops coaches are uniquely insane.
• College coaches’ inability to handle losing (e.g., John Shire, Danny Hurley).
• Discussions on strategic timing of games (e.g., whether you want to play a team after a loss).
• Fun yet heated debates on UConn/Villanova, the difference between losing at college level, and whether to actually travel to watch big games.
• The “Big Boys” Club, PMT’s ongoing bit about the psychology of “fat boy” food habits—VR ordering food but not eating it ([32:23+]).
• Barbs on Kansas’ Darrin Peterson being checked out ("This guy does not seem to like basketball." — Dan, [38:15])

---

Fyre Fest of the Week & Announcements

Tone and Style

• Irreverent, sarcastic, bombastic sports talk—hallmarks of the PMT brand.
• Plenty of inside jokes, callbacks, and meta-commentary (on their own content, ads, and running bits).
• Candid, freewheeling discussions of news, fan emotion, and sometimes deeply unserious “analysis.”
• Willingness to go off-topic for comedic effect or to chase down ridiculous tangents.

---

Conclusion

This PMT episode delivers everything longtime listeners expect: sharp sports bar takes, free-wheeling group banter, half-baked solutions to complex problems, wild stories about food ordering and alarm clocks, and the highlight of high-stakes US/Canada Olympic hockey unfolded live on air. Biz and Wit’s guest appearance provides real-time international trash talk, expert hockey analysis mixed with PMT silliness, and heart-on-sleeve reactions as the USA secures women’s hockey gold.

If you missed it, skip the ads, cue up the segment with Biz and Wit for Olympic hockey drama, and stay for the Fyre Fest and the mayhem of the 36-hour stream announcement.

[PFT Commenter]

Martin. Mike.

[Biz]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Bar non Mike.

[Wit]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Barn at Mike. Welcome to part of my take presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours. Today is Friday, February 20th, and the Indiana Bears look like they might be a little bit closer, huh?

[Dan]

Listen, I. I think that if you're gonna do Indiana Bears, the Wolf Lake Bears sounds like an incredible name.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, there's also a Bear Lake right there too.

[Dan]

There's Wolf Bear Lake.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. So if I actually don't want to talk about this for super long because it is mind numbingly annoying. Do you like terrible.

[Dan]

Do you like local government?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Civics conversations?

[PFT Commenter]

It's local government. It's billionaires not paying for their own fucking stadium. It's the NFL wanting everything, wanting their cake and eating it too. It's the fans getting screwed over. It's just the world we live in. So, yeah, the Indiana has voted to go forward with taking the Bears. Having the Bears holding the Bears in Hammond, while it doesn't actually mean anything because I still think they're going to be in Arlington Heights, it is the closest they've ever been to potentially finding a place. But again, it's not even anything like. Kevin Warren is an absolute failure in the fact that the last four years, his only job was to find a stadium. And they. He has released countless open letters.

[Dan]

He picked out chairs.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, we picked out chairs.

[Dan]

Furniture for the suites.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, he did that. He basically did a Nathan for you episode on Hard Knocks where he's like, like, hey, come here, cameras. Come watch me pretend to be a president who's picking out chairs for the new stadium that's never going to get built. I don't want them to move to Indiana partially because I think they should be in Arlington Heights. I think it should stay at Soldier Field 1 and 2. It will really piss me off if we lost the horse track for no reason.

[Dan]

Yeah. So I think that just every NFL team should threaten to move to Indiana.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

It could be the state that has like. We could get the Bengals there. If the Bengals want to move there, we get the Bears. There we go. Shit. The Titans. If that stadium doesn't go well, bring back the Rams. But just put it in like southwest Indiana.

[PFT Commenter]

The. Yeah, I like this.

[Dan]

Yeah. Every team, Indiana.

[PFT Commenter]

It's basically the bubble.

[Dan]

Yeah. Listen, in 49 other states, it's football. In Indiana, it's.

[PFT Commenter]

It's, it's every football.

[Dan]

It's serious business.

[PFT Commenter]

It's all the football.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

I've been trying to get into stoicism, the idea that you control what you can control. And if you can't control something, you shouldn't give it the energy that in your time, in the, in your day.

[Dan]

Yeah, it'll spike your cortisol.

[PFT Commenter]

Right. There's just, no, there's no reason to. Things that are out of your control, giving it energy and time will just wipe you out. If you can control something, if you can change something, if you can have a direct impact on something, give it your all. This is firmly in the camp of something I cannot control. So I will not be giving it much time or energy because the whole thing just pisses me off. And it's like, hey, guess what? I can't change anything. I, I can't do anything. It's, it's stupid. Government officials arguing with each other and people and the Bears playing Indiana vs. Illinois, and Illinois being, like, sleeping and being like, no way will they ever leave. And guess what? They might call the bears, might call their bluff. They might be the Indiana Bears.

[Dan]

You're right. You can't, you can't really do anything about it. But I would say that you can do more than 99.9999% of the population. You could lay down on the highway, start a blockade. Don't let that, don't let any traffic into Indiana.

[PFT Commenter]

If they, if they move to Indiana, but then say, hey, Arlington Heights is going to come, come, we're going to get the racetrack back. I, I, I would be, at least it would soften the blow because he did lose his racetrack for no reason at this point. There were supposed to be shovels in the ground years ago.

[Dan]

Does the Mars Cheese Castle, does that have any land in and around it that could be used for a stadium?

[PFT Commenter]

If we move to Wisconsin, that would be bad.

[Dan]

Yeah, that'd be, that'd be the funniest.

[PFT Commenter]

I mean, Iowa got in the mix for a minute.

[Dan]

Move to the cheese.

[PFT Commenter]

Iowa was like, hey, well, Indiana, where

[Hank]

it is in Indiana, is also not far at all.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yeah. People don't understand. It is very, very basically equidistant to Arlington Heights. Correct. I like Hammond, Indiana, has the Horseshoe Casino that I've been to probably too many times. Like, we would go, we would be out drinking on a Friday or Saturday night and be like, let's get in an Uber. Go to Hammond. Yeah, like that. That was the trip. It wasn't, it wasn't a difficult trip to make.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

So it is very close, but it's still the whole thing is annoying. It's more like, hey, you guys are all incompetent. Someone figure it the fuck out. And at the end of the day, the fans are going to lose until

[Dan]

there's a shovel in the ground. It's. It's all up for negotiation.

[PFT Commenter]

Correct.

[Dan]

And even sometimes when the shovel goes into the ground, it's like, hey, stop. Stop working with that shovel. We got a better piece of land. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

And I wish they would just stay at Soldier Field. I know they never will because they don't own the stadium, so they're not going to do that. But I firmly have. Have come around to the idea that in 20 years from now, we are all going to regret the fact that we put every single stadium indoors. We.

[Dan]

What's going to happen with Soldier Field after the Bears move out?

[PFT Commenter]

I don't know.

[Hank]

It.

[Dan]

Are they going to have troths that we can purchase?

[Zach]

Soldier Field sucks.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, it.

[Zach]

It.

[Hank]

I just don't want them to do construction.

[PFT Commenter]

It does, but I. I want to have outdoor football still fair. I think that the idea of getting like a Final four. Okay, maybe a little bit. The idea of getting a Super bowl is the dumbest thing in the world. Having one sh. Getting a Super bowl one time. As if that is some type of big prize to have all of the NFL media in the world come to Chicago in February and. About how cold it is. I don't need you to. About how cold is. I know how cold it is. I don't want that.

[Dan]

Well, there's no. If you look at the. The long term, like, financial impacts of hosting super bowl, it's not worth it.

[PFT Commenter]

It's stupid.

[Dan]

It's really not. You just. Same thing with the Olympics or the World Cup. You just bend over backwards for people.

[Max]

Right.

[Dan]

And then you're like, this is going to bring so much tourism into my city. And. Yeah, there'll be like, more. More tourism for a week, week and a half. But long term, like, if you look at what. What Qatar did for the World cup, they've got like dozens of subway stops that nobody will ever use for. In. In the entire history of their country.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yeah. They were showing pictures of the last time the Winter Olympics were in Italy in Torino, and it's just a ghost town.

[Dan]

Yeah. No. No city should bend over backwards to try to get a Super bowl if they're not already capable of handling it.

[PFT Commenter]

Like, what if we did a city

[Dan]

like, like New Orleans? They're already capable of handling it. Just keep going to New Orleans.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, let's solve. Yeah, I agree with your take. It should. The super bowl should at this point just be Vegas, back and forth. New Orleans, Vegas. I'd be fine with that.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

New Orleans, Vegas, back and forth. So let's. I'm hoping the Bears do Arlington Heights. I'm. Again, my take on all this is I don't give a fuck until there's a shovel in the ground because I don't believe anything. Kevin Warren, he's going to write an open letter. It's going to mean nothing. But you were saying that like the whole NFL in northwest Indiana. What if we did the Olympics in northwest Indiana every single four years?

[Dan]

Now we're talking.

[PFT Commenter]

It's just, it's just the permanent spot for the Olympics because remember the open

[Dan]

water kayaking in Gary Harbor.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I, I said I don't like the Olympics when, when it's not in our time zone and. Sorry, I mean, that's just a fact. I don't like it.

[Wit]

So.

[PFT Commenter]

And, and, and every time they do the Olympics, if you look at, you know, Rio and all these places, it just becomes a waste of money. Just build a permanent Olympics in Hammond, Indiana.

[Dan]

I like that. The home facility. It's not a bad idea. Yeah. Or at least the concept of just having. This is where you go for the Olympics even. Listen, if that's like Athens.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Wow.

[Dan]

No, no, no offense. Athens. I was not a particular big fan of your city. There's some nice places, a lot of history there.

[PFT Commenter]

People drive a little too fast.

[Dan]

Including the Olympics. Nobody pays taxes. Everyone's all kind of. And screaming at you.

[PFT Commenter]

You talk about Italy, Greece.

[Dan]

Greece.

[PFT Commenter]

Greece. That's right.

[Dan]

Yeah. Greece.

[PFT Commenter]

Whoops.

[Dan]

They should just.

[PFT Commenter]

I was talking about Georgia, the state, Athens.

[Dan]

Everyone driving too fast. Got it. No. So in Athens they should just have the Olympics. That should be like. That's what you do is the Olympics are in Athens every. Every four years.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Yeah. By the way, the, the time zone things. Have you guys seen. So we're going to talk about the hockey with biz and witness. We're going to talk about what happened on Wednesday. We're going to talk about hopefully what's going to happen on Sunday. Do you guys see what time the game's going to be though? The gold, the gold medal game.

[Dan]

Early.

[PFT Commenter]

7:10am Early. Hank. Shaking your head. You're out.

[Dan]

Probably.

[Hank]

We'll get you with my fire fest. My, my building doesn't have Internet right now.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, shit.

[Max]

It's a. It's.

[PFT Commenter]

And you don't have cable.

[Dan]

No.

[Hank]

Well, that was Also my building, like we'll go, we'll get to. It's kind of funny, but it's kind of tragic.

[Dan]

But 7, 10, that's too early.

[PFT Commenter]

7 10.

[Dan]

We just. What if both teams. I feel like if there's two teams in the Olympics or two groups of athletes, it's the US Hockey team and the Canadian hockey team that have all the leverage.

[PFT Commenter]

Right, Right.

[Dan]

This is if it's going to be a destination, a crash course where these two teams play for the gold medal. That's going to be the number one viewed thing in the Olympics. They have all the power one. You guys just say.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

That we're not going on until 10:00am yeah. Central Time.

[Biz]

Yeah.

[Dan]

So that our fans can watch us back.

[PFT Commenter]

Half of North America is going to be asleep.

[Dan]

Half of. Yeah, probably most of the people that are watching are going to be in like Minnesota, Wisconsin. They'll be hungover, not awake at 7am thinking.

[Zach]

I mean Pacific Time. You're.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Half of Canada.

[Zach]

Yeah. Everyone In Vancouver, like 7:10. Like that sucks.

[Biz]

You.

[Zach]

You can technically wake up.

[PFT Commenter]

No, I will.

[Zach]

I'll be 5:10. 5:10.

[PFT Commenter]

No, I would not the non start.

[Zach]

I will wake up. If we make it. I will make up. It's wake up at seven.

[PFT Commenter]

You will.

[Zach]

I will. Promise.

[PFT Commenter]

We're gonna have to do a check in on the group chat. I don't think you'll be up at 7:10.

[Zach]

I'll be up at 7:10.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't think.

[Zach]

I promise I'll be up.

[Dan]

I will wake up. I will turn the game on. I'll probably fall back asleep and then I'll wake up for the second period.

[Zach]

No, I will be up. I will be up at 7 if we make it to the gold medal. Also the 2 2, 2:10pm is great time for tomorrow.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh yeah, it is afternoon.

[Zach]

Everyone should just leave work early and go. Go watch that game.

[PFT Commenter]

Although aren't we going to. Are we. We're going to dominate, right? Who we play?

[Dan]

I don't know.

[Zach]

We were supposed to dominate yesterday.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, no, yesterday was only like the puck line was only minus one and a half, so it wasn't. Yeah, it was. We were minus 270.

[Wit]

No, no, no, no.

[PFT Commenter]

Yes. Against Sweden. Yes. It was not.

[Zach]

It was not that I had minus 200 in regulation.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Yeah. 70 with overtime when we're winning would have. Would have made sense.

[Zach]

I feel like that would. I think, I think it was more. I don't know.

[Dan]

That sounds about right.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, it sounds about right.

[Dan]

If Phil Forsberg knew how to shoot a puck.

[PFT Commenter]

All right.

[Dan]

Whose line is anyway a lot differently yesterday?

[PFT Commenter]

DraftKings. Whose lines is anyway? What's the money line for USA Slovakia tomorrow?

[Dan]

Moneyline.

[Zach]

Minus 360.

[Dan]

Minus 400.

[PFT Commenter]

Minus 800. We're gonna fucking smoke them.

[Zach]

Okay.

[PFT Commenter]

Canada. Finland is. Canada's only minus 380. Finland's the other. Is the third best team.

[Dan]

I just want to say that if we lose to Canada in the finals, it's kind of Mickey Mouse because it's so early in the day. Like, a lot of us probably won't even watch it.

[PFT Commenter]

I'm gonna. When we talk to Biz and Wit, I'm gonna give a good. Honest. Like, I'm. I'm gonna be disappointed if we. We don't win the gold medal. And I will. I will not. I will not skate out of it by saying it wasn't real and all that stuff. Do you think.

[Zach]

Sorry. Do you think Canada is going to make the argument that Crosby got hurt?

[PFT Commenter]

It's part of the game. Everyone's got something this time of year. Yeah, Right.

[Dan]

We're using injuries as an excuse.

[PFT Commenter]

I thought it was hockey tough.

[Zach]

I'm just. I'm just asking the question.

[Dan]

No, if they.

[Zach]

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw that he got hurt.

[Dan]

Listen, there were a lot of Canadian troops at Juno beach that were a little banged up, too, and they kept going.

[PFT Commenter]

Stretch. Yeah. Who's that? Who's the. Bob Wiley. Yeah.

[Dan]

Brown's offensive line.

[PFT Commenter]

Stretch and stretch their hammies before going on D day. Okay.

[Wit]

What.

[PFT Commenter]

What else we got going on? I. My, my. I watched a little bit of the Olympics. My. My pick for short track was disastrous. Andrew. Hugh. Did anyone win anything?

[Dan]

Eileen Goo. She won another silver medal.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay.

[Dan]

That's her name. Right? A lot of controversy behind this lady. Why? So she's kind of Chinese and she's

[PFT Commenter]

kind of saw this.

[Dan]

So she was American. What memes was that laugh?

[PFT Commenter]

She's kind of Chinese.

[Dan]

Well, no, literally Chinese.

[PFT Commenter]

She's Stephen Shay.

[Dan]

No, she.

[Zach]

But she's from America.

[Dan]

She's American.

[PFT Commenter]

From America.

[Biz]

She's.

[Dan]

She's American. She competed for the U.S. national team in skiing until, like 2019. Okay. And then she switched and she said, I'm now competing for the Chinese team

[Hank]

and I'm not gonna do this all the time.

[Dan]

Well, yeah, if it's baseball and we don't have any Italians that can field a team of nine. So they're like, yeah, we'll take Mike Piazza.

[Zach]

I think the Chinese. I think they pay a lot More.

[Dan]

They do pay a lot more.

[PFT Commenter]

But.

[Dan]

But she.

[Hank]

You got the visa. That's. That's just the rules.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I'm fine with that.

[Dan]

I don't know.

[PFT Commenter]

You have the. If you. If you're a dual citizen, you can't, like. I don't know about getting dual citizenship, but you're a true dual citizen. Her parents from China.

[Dan]

She definitely. Yeah, she's got, like, Chinese ancestry. That part's not made up. It's weird.

[PFT Commenter]

Is it. Would it. Would she have made the US Team?

[Zach]

Oh, yeah. She's the best one.

[PFT Commenter]

All right. Okay.

[Zach]

I think she's decorated freestyle skier, female of all time.

[PFT Commenter]

I'm totally fine with it. When you do it to be like, hey, there's no way I make the team this way, but I want to be in the Olympics. The Jake Mallison.

[Dan]

Oh, no, she was going to be. Yeah, she was going to be like a star for the US and listen, I want to be perfectly clear. I don't really care. It's skiing in the Olympics.

[PFT Commenter]

But, like, you're upset at her.

[Dan]

I do like how this is a story, how this is like the big controversy at the Olympus.

[PFT Commenter]

Sounds like you're a little upset at Goo.

[Dan]

Listen, if it were me. If it were up to me, I compete for the United States, but that's just me.

[PFT Commenter]

Sounds like you're a little mad at goo. All right, so I'll just count. You know what I'll do? I'll count this medal for us. I don't give a.

[Hank]

How many more do you need?

[PFT Commenter]

Too many. How many Woods Metal Up Update. I think I'm. I've. It's. It's over. It's over for your boy. It's. It's. It's not gonna happen. I think we're gonna get a loser on for Monday's show, which I really am excited about. We have seven. Yeah, it's over for your boy.

[Dan]

We have seven. We have seven.

[Zach]

Seven golds. 25 total.

[Hank]

That's a joke.

[PFT Commenter]

It is a joke, right, Hank? Did you get any backlash for your slalom? Women's slalom? Take no.

[Hank]

I mean, people just don't believe in me, but that's all right.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

No, I believe in you, but it's women slo. That's the part they didn't understand.

[Hank]

Yeah. Turn left. Turn right.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Pretty simple stuff.

[Hank]

Stay on your back, stay on your feet.

[Dan]

Pretty. Pretty easy stuff. You got the saying, Max, where's the next Winter Olympics?

[PFT Commenter]

Who cares?

[Hank]

I'll go.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay.

[Dan]

I'm going to guess. Feels like it's Time for Canada to get back in the mix.

[Hank]

Oh, Winter olympics, was it? 20, 20, 30.

[PFT Commenter]

Alps. French Alps. Oh.

[Dan]

Oh, that Rob.

[PFT Commenter]

Salt Lake City, 2034.

[Zach]

It's not the same thing as this one.

[PFT Commenter]

No, it's Italy, bro.

[Hank]

Come on, dude.

[Zach]

Swiss out.

[Dan]

But French house.

[Zach]

Oh, yeah, Swiss.

[PFT Commenter]

But I actually kind of agree with you. Those are the Alps.

[Zach]

Italy. But Italy and Switzerland share. Share their Alps.

[PFT Commenter]

I think so.

[Zach]

But I got Switzerland and France mixed up.

[Dan]

The Alps are one big mountain range, and so it's kind of a funny one.

[PFT Commenter]

Think about it. Alps.

[Dan]

Yeah, the Alps.

[PFT Commenter]

Like, that's the name of your mountains. The Alps.

[Dan]

Yeah. It sounds. Actually sounds like a delicious like treat.

[Hank]

All right.

[PFT Commenter]

Sounds like an old dude's name. Like, hey, this is my. This is my great grandfather, Alp.

[Hank]

2030, after Super bowl, after vacation, I will take a trip to France to try this.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, wow. You'll do that for us.

[Hank]

Content, content, content, content.

[Dan]

To the south of France.

[PFT Commenter]

Holy. What a guy. You're the best.

[Dan]

You know what? I'll go to Monaco just to keep an eye on things down there too. We gotta have eyes.

[PFT Commenter]

What is that name? Busto. Arsezio. That's the name of the town.

[Dan]

Busto or Artizio. So it's.

[Zach]

There's so many towns on here, I have no idea where you're looking.

[Hank]

Bust.

[PFT Commenter]

Artizo. Yeah, Busto. Busto.

[Zach]

Articio.

[Dan]

You hate Busto.

[Zach]

Articio.

[Hank]

Titty fuck.

[Dan]

Max's least favorite city.

[Zach]

Overrated.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay. I'm excited. For.

[Biz]

For.

[PFT Commenter]

Should we wait? Are we gonna talk about the stream now or. We're gonna wait till Zach gets back. We gotta wait.

[Hank]

Guards playing for fucking. He's filling in for Crosby.

[PFT Commenter]

Wait, they call. They. You can't. You can call someone up.

[Hank]

Connor Bedard just land in Italy.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, that's the way.

[Hank]

This might be a parody.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I was gonna say. I don't think he could do that. I mean, Bedard should be on the team, but Rosses need to be.

[Dan]

All right.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Hank]

Fake account.

[PFT Commenter]

That was a great breaking move.

[Dan]

I love it.

[Hank]

I didn't.

[Zach]

I didn't move it.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, moo it. Let's get. Let's get some people who are listening right now.

[Hank]

I only speak in facts, and I have serious takes on the show.

[PFT Commenter]

Just move it.

[Hank]

I don't want people to discredit me.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay. I had a couple other topics before we do that. DraftKings. DraftKings are wonderful sponsor DraftKings. Drafting sportsbooks built for hockey on the world stage. Favorites feel the pressure. Underdogs rise everyone's skating for gold. DraftKings sportsbook lets you back your country or the team you ride with every step of the way. Every shift feels bigger, every pick matters more, and one play can turn the entire game. So we have, like I said, the U.S. i think the U.S. right now is plus 115 to win gold.

The minute the big game ends, we're already talking about what's next. Free agency, the draft, who's getting paid, who's grinding. Because for football guys, there's no offseason. And that's exactly why they roll with the Chevy Silverado. Silverado is the truck that shows up every time, built a hall tow and take a beating. Be but smart where it counts. With modern tech that makes life easier. Big screens, available, camera views that help with towing and parking in a cabin that feels right.

Check out the current offers and build your own chevy [e-mail] so my next topic I wanted to bring up for you boys, we had Johnny Fanta on By the way, shout out Johnny Fanta. NBA Johnny. Yep, we had Johnny Fanta on for Wednesday's show. In that we discussed Mick Cronin. Cause he was calling that game after the game. Mick Cronin I fucking love.

[Dan]

No one's ever called a shot harder than Johnny Fanta did.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

On part of my take, he was like, college basketball's back. It's great. We've got some coaches that are losing their minds. Like, well, who's that, Johnny? Well, Mick Cronin is losing his mind. And then that was before. Mick Cronin goes on to eject his own player from the game.

[PFT Commenter]

Correct.

[Dan]

And then scream at a reporter for raising his voice.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, the reporter raises. Can we play? Can we play the clip? We put the audio in. The reporter raised his voice. Clearly, not only voice, but pitch as well. That was the problem. So this was Mick Cronin after the game, being asked about the Michigan State students section.

[Wit]

I could get.

[PFT Commenter]

What was your thoughts in the student section? Chanting Booker's name.

[Dan]

I could give a rat's ass about the other team's student section.

[PFT Commenter]

That's about the overall, the way that

[Dan]

I would like to give you a kudos for the worst question I've ever been asked. Did you, like, you should take it. The preparation.

[PFT Commenter]

You really think I care about the other? No, I don't. I don't think you care about the other. Are you raising your voice at me? Yeah, you are.

[Wit]

Yeah, you are.

[PFT Commenter]

Come on, dude.

[Dan]

No reason.

[PFT Commenter]

Come on.

[Dan]

Yes, you were.

[PFT Commenter]

Everybody's standing here listening to everybody. This is on camera. They can hear you.

[Dan]

I answered the question.

[PFT Commenter]

I could give a rat's ass about the other team section.

[Dan]

I coach ucla. I don't care about Michigan State students.

[Biz]

Who cares?

[PFT Commenter]

This is the best voice. I was. I was. I was.

[Dan]

Everyone can hear you. This is on camera.

[PFT Commenter]

I was laying in bed last night, and I was just repeating it. My wife was like, what are you saying? I was just like, are you raising your voice at me? Come on, dude. Come on. Come on, dude. It's all on camera. It's great that he's like, it's all on camera. Not realizing it's all on camera. And that's not gonna look good for Mick, but I think it looks great.

[Dan]

I. I also like how Mick Corona is just only giving him the silhouette.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

During this, he's only like, you know, he's turned away. He won't even face him with his full body.

[PFT Commenter]

Come on.

[Dan]

Because it's just, like, so alpha of him. He's like, I won't acknowledge you, dude. Did you just.

[PFT Commenter]

You did.

[Dan]

You just.

[PFT Commenter]

Are you raising your voice?

[Dan]

You just raise your voice?

[PFT Commenter]

Come on, dude.

[Dan]

Also on camera, that clip of him being like, I'd like to Give you kudos for the worst question I've ever been asked.

[PFT Commenter]

Yes, that.

[Dan]

That is going to be very useful in the future.

[PFT Commenter]

I love this clip. I love Mick Cronin. I know there's a lot of people who don't like these guys acting like this. There was. There was some big time, big time Jays coming out being like, respect the reporter. He's just trying to do a job. One, okay, fine, we all got a job to do. Maybe two, don't raise your fucking voice at McCronen like that. And the pitch of your voice. But we've had this take, whether it be with Danny Hurley or any coach that freaks out. This is what college basketball is. Is the best at, is these guys are the most maladjusted adults possible. They lose one game. Think about this. John Shire lost half of his losses this year. He's done a Jussie Smollett. Think about that. Like, he can't take losing that bad. He's lost two games this year. And, and in one of those two games, he was.

[Zach]

He.

[PFT Commenter]

He was like, hey, one of my guys got punched. And we can't. Still can't find video of.

[Dan]

This is.

[PFT Commenter]

It's great.

[Dan]

It's full on college basketball brain that Mick Cronin has right now. And listen, the reporter did in fact raise his voice when reiterating the question to him. And pitch and pitch. And this is all fair. I don't think that anything that Mick Cronin said was inaccurate. I also don't blame the reporter for doing his job. Yeah, I think this is all just like, all right, great, great game.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Like GGs, shake hands afterwards. Go your separate ways.

[PFT Commenter]

You just raise your. Come on, dude.

[Dan]

So, yeah, this is a great. This is a battle of the wheels between Mick cronin and the First Amendment.

[PFT Commenter]

We got to get McCronen back on the show.

[Dan]

Yeah, we will not raise her voice.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, we will. No, I will. We'll have to.

[Dan]

I think we got to have a decibel meter.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, we should just actually have. We should ask a bunch of questions then. Just have. Have Zach scream a question. Adam, just see if he still got it.

[Zach]

I think for you is. We. We. We have a decibel meter. Yeah, we have a decibel meter for every show.

[Dan]

Oh, yeah, that's really.

[PFT Commenter]

Look at that.

[Dan]

I would like. I'd like it just to be.

[PFT Commenter]

We.

[Dan]

We need to put some more spotlight, though, because this, this post game interview is getting all the press. Mick Cronin ejected his own player, which I love. He kicked his Own player out of the game. That is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[PFT Commenter]

Mick Cronin, if you haven't been following this year.

[Biz]

But he.

[PFT Commenter]

He. Basically, it. It's all based on time zones. If he does not play in Pacific time zone, he is. He is liable to, like, get naked and scream at everyone on camera. He's so upset about the Big Ten scheduling.

[Dan]

The Cincinnati gets back in him.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, he. Listen, this is a guy we have to remember. Mick Cronin. He. He had a brain injury, a brain aneurysm. And the doctors had to tell him that he can't watch his team play basketball, otherwise he might stroke out and die. He had to drive around Cincinnati listening to. On the radio. This guy's a psycho, and I love it. We need these guys. The Dan. When Danny Hurley goes crazy and drinks his. His piss on the. On the. On the sideline and flips out at everyone, that's what I love about college basketball.

[Dan]

The great part of this interaction, too, is how calm he remained. Yeah, like, the guy, the reporter was obviously raising his voice and McCron was just like, dude, you're just raising your. He just called it like, it was just not. That was not spiking at all. Was just maintaining a firm baseline, not even giving him eye contact or full body contact. Like, this is how an alpha male treats a reporter.

[PFT Commenter]

Come on, dude.

[Dan]

Come on, dude.

[PFT Commenter]

It is all on camera.

[Dan]

You just raised your voice in.

[PFT Commenter]

I also would like to think that Izzo was just waiting around the corner. He's like, dude, that guy raises his voice at you. Way to handle yourself, Mick. Yeah, that's exactly how you should handle yourself.

[Dan]

Well, when Izzo watches the clips of this, he thinks, like, there but for the grace of God go I. Yeah, he's. He can see how funny it is when somebody else does it.

[PFT Commenter]

But yeah, he's like, damn, I didn't know you could eject your own player

[Dan]

at the same time. He's like, this is pretty cool. This is pretty awesome.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, but, yeah, college basketball continues incredible. That Alabama, Arkansas game was awesome.

[Dan]

Acuff 2.

[PFT Commenter]

Two overtimes. Just the shot making was insane. But I do have one question for someone in this room. This weekend, we have a loaded slate. We got Michigan, Duke, we've got Houston versus Arizona. We also have Villanova versus Connecticut. And Connecticut lost on Wednesday night to Creighton. Max, are you happy they lost? College basketball, so different. Oh, really?

[Zach]

So different.

[PFT Commenter]

So you want to play them off of a loss or off of a win?

[Zach]

Personally, very much would have preferred if they did not lose last night.

[Dan]

And why is that?

[Zach]

Because Villanova plays in this week and I would not like to see them coming off. College basketball is a different sport.

[Dan]

Right. Well, I'm just. I'm trying to pass a little bit. So you said you would rather not play UConn off of a loss. Why?

[Zach]

In college basketball? Yes.

[Dan]

Why would you rather not play Yukon?

[PFT Commenter]

Loss.

[Zach]

Dan Hurley's gonna. Dan Hurley's a special coach.

[Dan]

So good coaches will then use that loss as motivation to make their team play better the next night out is what you're saying.

[Zach]

I like how you. You guys keep using this as an argument even though the Eagles won that game.

[PFT Commenter]

I have a question.

[Dan]

Because they knew that.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

They had a tough opponent.

[PFT Commenter]

I have a question. Can I ask a question? Wouldn't you be happy that UConn lost? Because now you have a chance to win the Big East. That's fair. Divisions. I mean, if you look at the Biggie standings, you guys have three losses.

[Zach]

I know. If we win, we'll get a. If we win out now we get a share.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. St. John's you have to play again. You can. Like.

[Zach]

I'm. I'm.

[PFT Commenter]

That's a huge loss for Yukon.

[Zach]

I'm familiar.

[PFT Commenter]

If they didn't lose to Creighton, you could have beaten Yukon. They could have won out and you wouldn't have had any chance to catch them.

[Zach]

Yeah, you know what? I'm happy they lost.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, okay. There we go.

[Dan]

Happy they lost.

[Zach]

Happy they lost.

[PFT Commenter]

You rooting for them to lose because

[Dan]

now you think UConn stinks. Because they lost?

[Zach]

No, because now we can win the

[Dan]

Big east, but not if Yukon beats you. Because they're more motivated after loss.

[Zach]

We just got to win on Saturday. Gotta win on Saturday. Massive, massive whiteouts.

[PFT Commenter]

So worked up for this game. I excited for it.

[Zach]

I almost felt right. I was. I looked at. I looked at flights to go home. It's a. It's a thousand dollars round trip before. Before having to buy tickets. So I decided I couldn't. I couldn't in good faith justify that purchase.

[Dan]

You should go.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't want to. We'll pay for it.

[Zach]

No, no, no.

[Dan]

You know what? Yeah, I'll go. Half. Yeah, yeah. Half Z. Max, you want to go? Not that big a game, I guess.

[PFT Commenter]

No, it's not a big game.

[Zach]

I would love to go to that big game.

[PFT Commenter]

Max, this might though her big.

[Zach]

I think I imagine this excited for Villanova.

[PFT Commenter]

I think you're going. We're paying for your tickets. You're going to.

[Zach]

I could pay for my ticket.

[PFT Commenter]

No, I mean the flight.

[Dan]

Yeah, we're not paying for your game.

[Zach]

I could pay for my flight.

[PFT Commenter]

He. Max is in a tough spot right now because he. I do this all the time where it's like, should I go to this game? I'm not going to go to this game. And then when you make the decision, I'm not going to travel and go to this game, and then you're like, I'm instead going to get to go to the bar and get drunk and watch College Basketball Day. You're like, that actually sounds awesome.

[Zach]

That is also.

[Dan]

Yeah, you kind of sound like Shane right now.

[Zach]

I've also.

[Dan]

I don't want to go see my favorite team play.

[Zach]

I've texted a bunch of my friends that normally would be going to the game. Like, half of them are still going. Half of them have conflicts, and they can't go. That was another. That was another thing.

[PFT Commenter]

You let us know. But I, I. Now that I've played it out in my head, I would not go because this is such a loaded slate.

[Dan]

I think it's going to be awesome.

[PFT Commenter]

I might go to the bar, tell my kids I'm going out to get some milk.

[Dan]

You're just not that big a fan of Villanova basketball. You just like college basketball, and that's fine.

[Zach]

I. I'm so, so pumped for this. And we're also being honest. It would really suck if. If you made that trip. Oh, that's what trip for a loss.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh. And it would maybe hurt your. Your guarantee of waking up at 7, 10 in the morning.

[Zach]

That would be out. Out the table.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Zach]

Off the table.

[PFT Commenter]

Are you doing farm to table, Max? I saw that clip, by the way. Can we discuss this for a second? Did you see this clip, pft of Max on the big boys. Did you see this clip? Max? Listen, Max and I agree with a lot of things when it comes to big boy stuff. We had our tub talk last week or two weeks ago.

[Zach]

This is.

[PFT Commenter]

We're locks. I have never done this. And it's. Why don't you explain to pft. Did you see this clip?

[Hank]

No.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh. Explain to PFT and Hank.

[Zach]

Big boy club.

[Hank]

Big boys.

[Zach]

The big boys club is a safe space.

[PFT Commenter]

It's a.

[Zach]

It's a nice place for big boys to talk about, you know, other big boy things. And Ella and. And Ella. I. Katic also does this for the record.

[PFT Commenter]

What?

[Zach]

He's gonna explain it sometimes. This is. It's actually quite skinny if you really think about It.

[Dan]

Tell me the thing that you do.

[Zach]

I can't even look at you while I say this.

[Dan]

Say the thing that you do, Max.

[Zach]

So sometimes late at night, if I'm laying in bed and I get. And I get a little hungry.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Zach]

Instead of going and making myself a snack or making myself food or ordering food, I'll just like, pull up the apps. UberEats. Shout out to UberEats.

[Dan]

Almost.

[Zach]

Almost anything. And I'll just like put together an order of what I would order if I were to get something.

[Dan]

And then you.

[Zach]

And then I.

[Wit]

And then I.

[Zach]

And then I. And then I clear my card and I go to bed. But I think about. I was like, oh, yeah.

[Dan]

It's like.

[PFT Commenter]

And I like, VR fat boy.

[Hank]

This is like, yeah, girls do that with shopping too. I feel like, yeah. Constantly shopp.

[Zach]

This is. I go in and I customize the, like the. I do it like the exact.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yeah.

[Zach]

And then I see it in my cart and I'm like, oh, yeah, this should be a good order.

[PFT Commenter]

And then you go.

[Zach]

And then I go to bed.

[Dan]

It's like you striking out at the bar. And then you're like, I'm just gonna jack off and go to safety.

[PFT Commenter]

This is so good, dude.

[Zach]

Yeah, no, that's just.

[Dan]

You're just doing food simulating.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, he's VR. VR food.

[Zach]

It's quite. It's. It's really good self control. The. The real kicker is if I didn't have a fiance, I'd probably be.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yeah.

[Zach]

Every time.

[Hank]

I mean, that's literally the. The dodgeball y. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. You're playing. You're like, you're like. You're like teasing yourself.

[Dan]

You're doing dinner.

[Zach]

No, it actually, it's really quite, like soothing just looking at it.

[Dan]

It's dinner simulator, kind of. I'm going to play dinner simulator.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, you need to get like a Sims where you just eat in the Sims.

[Zach]

I never actually order it, but you look at it.

[Hank]

Your fiance, she's like, are you texting someone?

[PFT Commenter]

No, I'm just ordering. I wonder what he's thinking about ordering.

[Zach]

I'm not ordering. I'm just putting together what I would order.

[PFT Commenter]

I wonder what he's thinking about. Chalupa supreme, double nachos.

[Hank]

Probably texting other girls.

[Dan]

The idea that he's got like a burger in there and he's customizing it. He's like, do I want extra bacon? He's like, no, that's naughty. I'm not.

[Zach]

I do that sometimes.

[Dan]

I'm not going to do extra Bacon.

[Zach]

I do that sometimes. Or it's like, that would be too much. I don't need. I wouldn't need.

[PFT Commenter]

You get healthy. You're not going to eat it, so why don't you just go crazy?

[Zach]

No, because I need to. Like, genuinely. It's like when you're watching porn, it's like the dick is way too big. And it's like, I'll do. I was like, I can't. I can't justify myself in that situation.

[Dan]

Yeah, I'll do the. You know what? I'll do the dressing on the side.

[PFT Commenter]

I'm so happy you guys hadn't heard about this until now. Get your genuine reaction.

[Biz]

It's.

[PFT Commenter]

I'm with you on, like, 99 of the things that we do. This one, I just.

[Zach]

It, it is actually not a. It's not a fat thing.

[PFT Commenter]

It's not. Well, it is. Well, you're.

[Dan]

You're fantasizing about food.

[PFT Commenter]

It's the fattest thing you can do without eating.

[Zach]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which, which is fine. I mean, it's, it's, it's good self control.

[Dan]

It is.

[Zach]

It's great self control.

[PFT Commenter]

You found the fattest thing to do without eating.

[Dan]

Oh, yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

It's actually incredible.

[Zach]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, man. All right. The other, the other college basketball story is that Darren Peterson is now just trolling us because he is for, for me, who don't know. The freshman phenom for Kansas who has been in and out of games. He's missed like 11 games, some real injuries, some fake flu, some agent. He now is doing it. He's doing the Willie, won't he. In the middle of games. He hit a three against Oklahoma State on Wednesday night.

[Dan]

Cramped.

[PFT Commenter]

And he just immediately asked out. He played 18 minutes. I think he scored 23 points. And Bill self after was like, yeah, I thought he was gonna have a special night and he just, he wanted out.

[Dan]

Yeah. So I, I've seen a lot from Darren Peterson this year, and he just seems like he's never engaged on a basketball court. No, like, I, I. Most people that are this talented at a sport, at times they seem like they've got that passion, that fire, like a competitiveness.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

And I haven't seen it at all from. He might have it. He might just be saving it for the NBA. And he's like, I don't want to get hurt playing college basketball. Maybe, Maybe that's what he's going with. Which is not a great sign if you're like a, if you're a scout or A gm. You don't want that mentality.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

That could be an explanation.

[PFT Commenter]

This is all leading to Kansas losing in, like the sweet 16 or maybe the round of 32. And then everyone on his team taking subtle shots at him, being like, that sucked. That sucked. Playing with that dude.

[Dan]

Or Kansas just rallying in spite of him. But him playing, just being like, bench him.

[PFT Commenter]

He's really good. Yeah.

[Dan]

But I mean, they're a good team without him too.

[Biz]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

But I think to get to their ceiling, they need him to actually be there and playing well.

[Dan]

I don't know. But sometimes having a guy like that, that you're like, we all say this guy that could make a good bucket.

[PFT Commenter]

You're like, hey, actually, we don't. We didn't mean that, bro.

[Dan]

And then at the very end, like, everyone's hurt and he's like, coach put me in. I can do it. And then his job is to make the game winning pass.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

And then everybody claps and hugs.

[PFT Commenter]

It is. It's a frustrating thing to watch because I want to watch Darren Peterson play basketball. It's frustrating if you're a Kansas fan. Probably insanely frustrating if you're Kansas fan. And the whole experience is what Hank said the other day. The downside to the nil. It also, though, in a weird way, there's the silver lining. And maybe this is the eternal optimist in me.

[Dan]

It's.

[PFT Commenter]

It's nice to know that you can't just throw money at, like, a roster and expect it to be awesome and have every piece fit. You know what I mean? You can't do, like an all star team every year.

[Dan]

Right.

[PFT Commenter]

You got to have guys who actually want to play, who want to buy in.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Kansas still could go very far in the term. You can win it all. So it could all, all be wrong. But it is nice to know that, like, you have to actually, like, get culture and. And build the roster with meaningful meaning behind it. Not just, who's the best player, let's throw money.

[Dan]

My number one indicator would be like, this guy does not seem to like basketball.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Like, it might just be something he's really good at that he. That he doesn't care to do.

[PFT Commenter]

Kind of reminds me of Rudy Gay. Remember Rudy gay at UConn when they lost to George Mason and it was like, this team is so good. And Rudy Gay was really good at basketball, but it was like, does he. Does he, like, have that killer instinct? I don't know.

[Dan]

Does.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

This is the Josh Rosen conversation. Does he love football?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, this is a what?

[Zach]

I think there's another take that you could have about it, Optimus, for Kansas fans. Yeah, he's gonna play more in the tournament.

[PFT Commenter]

Maybe he will.

[Zach]

He's gonna play more in the tournament.

[Dan]

You don't.

[PFT Commenter]

When he's that much closer to the NBA draft, like, if he gets a little ankle tweak, he's done. He's not gonna play through anything.

[Dan]

He, Bill Self also seems like he's just.

[PFT Commenter]

No, he's had it. This was the moment that he, Bill Self was like, I, this is not fun.

[Zach]

I don't know. Bill Self was really quick to get him out of there as soon as Peterson, like.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, I think he's probably, he's like,

[Dan]

jesus, you want to get out of the game? Fine, get out. I don't want to have to think about this.

[Zach]

I don't know. I think he's going to play, Play more in the tournament. And then you just get. It's, it's like getting a full new player on your, on your roster.

[Dan]

I think it's more likely that the team just, like, rallies in spite of this guy.

[PFT Commenter]

He could.

[Zach]

I disagree.

[PFT Commenter]

I just, I, I, I do think he's going to try to play more. I'm just saying, if there's any type of speed bump, he's out. You know what I mean? It's not, he's not going to play through anything. Yeah. Yeah. Bill Self essentially, like, gave the absentee parent quote last night. He said, it's happened often enough that our guys have learned to play without Darren Peterson.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

It's like, yeah, Dad's not home, so we just, we know how to get by.

[Dan]

Well. Yeah, we figured out how to make dinner.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Mom's at work. We got it.

[Dan]

Dinner. Yeah. I had to teach my little brother algebra.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay. Any other, Any other stories? Anything that we missed that we want to talk about? Oh, congrats to Lane Johnson coming back.

[Dan]

Yeah. As first loved by Max. Max was right.

[PFT Commenter]

Good job, Max.

[Zach]

Everyone says that on this show.

[Dan]

There's a heated rivalry going on right now in women's hockey.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Which we'll know more about, I guess, later on in the show.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

But we've got two. Two. The superstars for the US And Canada's women's team. They broke up. Oh, yeah. They had a relationship, but they broke up before the game. I think that's fair. I think that even if you're, like, deeply, madly in love, I think you have to break up before the puck drops.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Biz]

Just.

[Dan]

And then get back together. Afterwards.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, Sex should be awesome after.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Any other. Any other stories? Oh, do you have any updates for clavicular?

[Dan]

Yeah, so I've been.

[PFT Commenter]

I just been mogging people.

[Dan]

I mog clavicular today.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, you did?

[Dan]

So I got his number, I texted the man, and he's of age, right? Of age for what?

[PFT Commenter]

How old is he?

[Dan]

What do you mean? Of age?

[PFT Commenter]

For what is he. Is he. How old is he?

[Dan]

Are you saying could you fuck him?

[PFT Commenter]

No, I'm saying, is he over 18? Pft.

[Dan]

Yes, he is. He is an adult, if that's okay.

[PFT Commenter]

I didn't know.

[Dan]

Yes, yes, he's an adult. So I. I saw.

[PFT Commenter]

He's 21. He's not that much of an adult.

[Dan]

He's an adult.

[PFT Commenter]

He's an adult. And so that wasn't a crazy question.

[Dan]

So I invited him to Chicago to do the. Do the rounds, come on the shows. And he said, I'm not going to be in Chicago. And then I was like, I have to mog this guy. So I said, it's actually not that dangerous here. Plus, we're all really strong and we'll protect you.

[PFT Commenter]

Nice.

[Dan]

So it kind of mogged him.

[PFT Commenter]

You did mog?

[Dan]

Like, he needs.

[PFT Commenter]

He responded.

[Dan]

Made him. Made him feel like he needed our help. He responded. I blocked him.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, so he didn't respond, so he silenced Mog.

[Dan]

No, no.

[PFT Commenter]

I mod 20 years old.

[Dan]

I frame, frame, mod him. And then I blocked him. Blockbacks. He also hates football.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, fuck him.

[Dan]

Then he said, it's your worst self

[PFT Commenter]

when you watch football. Oh, this guy's a loser. I. I'm more of a Iowa fraternity guy. That. That footage was for people who missed it. I was a year ago that this happened, Max.

[Zach]

I just assumed it happened.

[PFT Commenter]

Yes, I think it was a year ago, and there was like a. Because I think I thought they went to court. But it's just a clip of these police officers responding to a fire alarm at an Iowa fraternity house and going downstairs and finding all of the pledges with their shirts off, blindfolded in the basement, in a dark basement. And the cops are like, take off your blindfolds. Like, you all are coming with us. And not a single pledge moved. And those guys are Ride or Die.

[Dan]

Yeah, those are the guys you want in your camp. You know that. You got a good class.

[PFT Commenter]

It was also just a great litmus test of the Internet, where it's half the Internet saying, how could they be doing this? This is really. Listen, there are some hazing that is like, you can't do the hazing that is killing people and. And making them. Forcing them to drink liquor and all that stuff. But such some dudes with, like, mustard on them standing in a basement. I don't think it's the worst thing.

[Dan]

No, that's fine.

[PFT Commenter]

Those guys just didn't move. They were ride or die.

[Dan]

Here's the problem is now you're going to see a bunch of other frats try to take this and simulate it.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

To see if their guys are ride or die. And then now you're. They're just never going to believe that cops will ever show up to a frat function ever again. Yeah. Because now it's like, these are probably just the bros playing a prank on me.

[PFT Commenter]

Those guys are gonna. They're gonna be laughing about that story 40 years from now. It's been like, remember that time we thought that they were. They were with us, so we didn't even. We didn't even flinch.

[Dan]

It's a good crew.

[PFT Commenter]

Cops are so frustrated. They're like. They're not listening to us, and no one will tell us who's in charge. And not a single person ratted.

[Zach]

They all said that they don't have the president of the fraternity's phone number. They're like, sorry, I don't have his contact.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't know who that is.

[Zach]

I don't know who that is.

[PFT Commenter]

You're gonna have to find somewhere, someone else.

[Zach]

And I love the white sweatshirt. Guy just kept slowly moving into the basement. And he was like, can you. They're like. They were like, can you please get out of there? And he's like, nope, nope.

[Dan]

This is.

[Zach]

This is my. This is my basement.

[PFT Commenter]

They're also.

[Dan]

The guys are, like, blindfolded. I know my rights. I know my rights, officer. I don't have to say a word to you.

[PFT Commenter]

That guy I did see.

[Dan]

I don't know.

[PFT Commenter]

I got to find if it was actually real that the. Potentially. The guy in the white sweatshirt was not even a. He was not even a student in Iowa. He was just there for some hazing.

[Dan]

Oh, that's fun. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

He just showed up.

[Dan]

Wait, is he, like, a ringer? Like a ringer to get.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't know. I think it's like a pickup game.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

He's like, oh, we're going to. Oh, you got fives today. We're going to. We're going to get some guys with their shirts off. Yeah, I'll be there, like, going in a basement. I'm in.

[Dan]

Was this guy brought in to get hazed or to do the hazing.

[PFT Commenter]

Or he was just brought in to watch over and never snitch because he did a good job of that.

[Zach]

He also gave the idea like, yeah,

[Wit]

I think it's fake.

[PFT Commenter]

I think it's fake.

[Zach]

Cops. Like, you think that's not really a thing. It either is or it is.

[Dan]

Now, is there a possibility that this entire video is fake?

[PFT Commenter]

I think it was actual. It was an actual.

[Dan]

It came out in a court case.

[Max]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

This is a court case. It happened like six months ago.

[Dan]

Okay.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Hank]

Or it happened in the fall.

[Dan]

Oh, man, that would make sense during rush week.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. It's just. It was. It was just such a funny video to hit the timeline. Okay. Should we get to biz and wit, I'm trying to think if there's. I'm looking through my notes. Any you want to say anything about the Red Sox jerseys?

[Hank]

I mean, fanatics in general is just a dumpster fire.

[Zach]

I don't.

[Hank]

I don't think the Red Sox are any different than any team that works with fanatics. They just released a statement because Red Sox fans are so mad. They released a statement and then fanatics probably made them delete it. It seems like.

[PFT Commenter]

Wait, so what was the. What was the problem with their jerseys?

[Hank]

The letters. It's hard to explain without showing, like the. The stripe down the middle, like the kind of lining. There's like the white jerseys and there's red line in the middle and the letters were just like over the line. It was very sloppy.

[PFT Commenter]

Huh.

[Hank]

And they put out a tweeping like, look at our new jerseys. And everyone was like, these are terrible. Yeah. Then they put out a statement being like, we're sorry that the jerseys weren't up to quality. We're going to change them by opening day. And then I think fanatics got mad at that because then they deleted the tweet apologizing about the jerseys being.

[Dan]

Yeah, fanatics. At least they're not see through anymore.

[PFT Commenter]

Right.

[Dan]

They figured they solved that.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. We don't see the dicks anymore.

[Dan]

The science has progressed to a point where we're not flashing people. So just kind of take what you got and be happy for it. What's going on with the Patriots, Robert Kraft and FIFA?

[Hank]

Foxborough.

[Dan]

The city of.

[Hank]

City of Foxborough is like, not approving, like, FIFA funding, basically. Like, they're not. They have not fully complied to some things that FIFA needs in order to help.

[PFT Commenter]

Bribes.

[Dan]

The bribes.

[Max]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

You have not complied with this.

[PFT Commenter]

They haven't said in their monthly bribe,

[Dan]

the suitcase of cash that we Were expecting. You have not checked that off your list.

[Hank]

It was, I mean, it's kind. It was a. There's like a court case. Very Boston Foxborough lady being like, we're not. We're not signing this yet.

[Dan]

I would like to say to FIFA Chicago is open for business.

[PFT Commenter]

I mean, they have to. Hammond, Indiana.

[Dan]

Hammond. We can do some games in Hammond, Indiana, Indiana.

[Hank]

Also lamello ball car accident.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yeah. Mo ball car accident. The sea auction for sale, which we already knew. But I, I. Do you think. How much money do you think we could raise if the NFL. I wish they would do this for. For one. One of these teams that is being sold. Just do it. Lottery.

[Dan]

Like, everybody enters.

[PFT Commenter]

Everybody in the country can enter to try to win the Seattle Seahawks and they will not pick a winner until it's $10 billion or something.

[Dan]

Until the valuation target is hit. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

How sick would that be? That would be. Some random dude gets the Seahawks.

[Dan]

That'd be awesome. But then the other owners would have to approve this guy.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, they have to. Yeah, they'd have to maybe approve it before maybe you cut a little off, you break a little off. Be like, hey, it's, it's. We'll do it at 12 billion.

[Dan]

It would actually be funny to see the other owners have to meet this random lottery winner for the first time.

[PFT Commenter]

Right.

[Dan]

And like evaluate whether or not he's NFL owner material.

[PFT Commenter]

He wouldn't be, you know, according to them. But it would just be sick if we just had. There should be one. One franchise per sport. Should be like the regular guy can

[Dan]

get somehow put it up for auction or. Yeah. Or like not auction.

[PFT Commenter]

No, it's just a straight up lottery. You can buy multiple tickets.

[Dan]

How much of the tickets?

[PFT Commenter]

Five bucks.

[Dan]

But you got to put a limit on how many you can buy. No, otherwise you would just get like a very, very rich dude buying.

[PFT Commenter]

But that would be hilarious if they bought billions of tickets and didn't get it. Yeah, that would be such a funny outcome. If a guy. If A guy spent $2 billion and got absolutely nothing.

[Dan]

I feel like this, this sale is going to set a record, especially considering they're coming off a Super bowl right now.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yeah.

[Dan]

It's going to be crazy how much money is spent on the Seahawks. I would. Yeah, I would.

[PFT Commenter]

You'd buy tickets?

[Dan]

I would buy a shitload of tickets.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

To try to own a team.

[PFT Commenter]

Awesome. How. How cool would that be? That lottery be like televising it, you know, they pull the numbers. The whole country was just like, holy shit, I have a chance to buy the Seahawks.

[Dan]

I would be. I would be in on that big time.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Okay. Let's get to Biz and Wit and we'll talk some hockey before we do that. Pt, you got a couple ads going

[Dan]

I just have something very important to say right off the bat.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Happy birthday, Whit.

[Wit]

Thank you very much.

[PFT Commenter]

Happy birthday.

[Dan]

How old are you?

[Wit]

Thank you, guys. Thank you, guys. I'm 43 years old today.

[PFT Commenter]

Love that.

[Wit]

Yeah. So it's gonna hurt if the US Women can't get this done in ot, but we're staying positive here, and it's another year around the sun. And I appreciate you. Pft. You're. You're a good guy.

[Dan]

Thanks.

[Biz]

To be fair, I think that Whit's birthday fart that stunk up this whole room, changed the momentum for the United States, and that's why they got that late goal. So either way, I just wanted to say, aside from the fact that we're battling Canada versus usa, it's probably going to be tonight and Sunday. I love them. And there's no one I'd rather do the podcast with on spitting chicklets than you, buddy.

[Wit]

Oh, buddy.

[Dan]

That's sweet.

[PFT Commenter]

Are you guys gonna kiss?

[Dan]

You should kiss.

[Biz]

No.

[Wit]

But later on, we might do something

[Biz]

that the heated rivalry international edition.

[PFT Commenter]

I saw the crop dust. It was a crazy crop dust. Just.

[Wit]

Yeah, everyone's face. Well, there's been farts flying all over the place. Mine's the one that gets posted. These guys that work for us, they're absolute dickheads. It's my birthday. They posted it. But you know what? What are you gonna do?

[Biz]

Still smells better than my upper lip.

[PFT Commenter]

All right, so, boys, on Wednesday. On Wednesday, we saw some crazy games. Which game do we want to start with? I guess we can start with the Canada game, which Canada struggled. Biz that looked bad.

[Biz]

I wouldn't say. I wouldn't say they struggled. I think that the checks played the game of their life. They have. They have an incredible goalie, Gudas, Radko Gudis, a guy who. Who Yans was pumping the pod before, because you mentioned his names.

[PFT Commenter]

He's like, if you.

[Biz]

If you had six of him on your team on the back end, you'd win a gold medal. Well, he played the game of his life. And they did a really good job of shutting down the red line, the blue line, forcing Canada to dump it. And it changed things up a little bit. So I thought it was a great game. But ultimately, Canadians prevail. They. They got through it without Sidney Crosby, which was a. A catastrophic injury. It was accidental. So I'm not going to point any fingers to Racco Gudis. It's just he stepped on his blade. But Nick Suzuki, who came into his Position ended up coming up clutch with that tying goal off the tip. So a big one. And then, of course, Mitchie Marner, the guy who was in Toronto, who broke my heart when he left, he ends up scoring the winner in ot.

[PFT Commenter]

Do you think I. You know, you guys obviously know so much hockey. Is it a good strategy to try to make sure that you have six guys or seven guys on the ice at various points?

[Wit]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

How did that happen? It was insane. It wasn't. When someone told me that they had six guys on the ice, I was like, oh, okay. So it was a line change. There was six guys on the ice in the defensive zone together.

[Wit]

And what's. What's nuts is when that happens at high levels of hockey, the bench of the opposing team immediately coaches players. You're all screaming. You could tell right away, apparently. Although I saw McKinnon said that he knew. I don't think that the Canadian bench was, like, really that, like, aware at the time. And it came out after on Twitter of, like, the images. But Biz made a decent point that the red sounds a little goofy, but the red in the uniforms, in the shoulders of Czech, it just kind of. I don't know if that created kind of an illusion a little.

[Biz]

So they have red pants and red shoulders. So, like, normally when you're in that skating position, there's just a lot of red. Right. So the way that the camera angle was, and then the minute it started shifting over, it took one of the defenders that was deeper in the zone out of frame. So to the naked eye, if you're watching, if you're really tuned in, there was probably a few people who caught it, and that's what ignited it. A few people posted it to Twitter, and then Twitter kind of caught onto it, and it just spiraled where, buddy, they ended up having, like, seven guys in the goal pile. I think they might have been, like, just send out another guy to, like, make it so ridiculous that there's no way they call it back. Another thing that they do, too, though, at the high levels is the video coach is behind, like, normally in the locker room, and they have a bunch of the different feeds, and they would then radio the coach.

[Wit]

But that's not reviewable.

[Biz]

It's not reviewable having too many men on the.

[Wit]

No, like, you can't. You can't go back. That's just a straight up, like, ref missed it.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, I do like biz that because I was wondering, because this game obviously happened yesterday, like, what is his spin zone for the fact that Canada can't count to six, and the red jerseys is a pretty good one.

[Biz]

You got me there.

[Wit]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Wit]

I kind of like. That's good.

[Biz]

I never really learned that either.

[Wit]

That's a good shirt right there. I mean, I kind of liked it.

[Dan]

I'm looking at the screenshots. I see your point. Like, when they're hunched over, it kind of looks just like a red jersey. You could.

[Biz]

Yeah. From that. From that camera angle once again, to the naked eye, but, like, officials got to pick that up. But that game in the third, it was just picking up so much steam, and there was just so much transition and check. Have some pretty fast players like Nate just being one of them, like, he's up and down the ice. He was one of their best players, a guy named Sedlak who actually is playing in, like, the Czech professional league. He's not even playing in the NHL. He had a pretty. A pretty good game as well. He actually. I played against him in the American League when they beat us in the. In the conference finals. He went on to win a call their cup. So they just played the game of their lives, and Canada hung on and made some big plays when they needed to. And let's see where it goes from here.

[Wit]

Sorry, go ahead.

[Dan]

No, go ahead.

[Wit]

I was going to say from. From the outside, looking into. I don't know if McDavid's ever been this good. Yes. Am I the guy always on here getting ridiculed by YouTube losers about McDavid. It's.

[Dan]

It's.

[Wit]

It's incredible. Like, I think he gave guys maybe six or seven grade A scoring chances. He had seven shots on his own. Then the finish coach today said, yeah, McDavid's the best player in this tournament by a mile. And when asked, how are you going to shut him down? He said, I'm gonna call. I'm gonna call Barkov on Florida. Yeah, a little. A little bulletin board material for McDavid going into the semi.

[Dan]

So in the. In the US game that we saw yesterday, thank God that Philip Forsberg forgot that he was allowed to shoot the puck. Oh, I don't know what was going on in his. Was it. Was the moment too big for him? Because. No, it felt like he had every opportunity that he kept passing three or four times.

[Biz]

I think that he wasn't in his flow state because they were having major issues with that coach in the fact that in. In game one of the tournament, I believe Philippe Forsberg played, what, like, one minute. Yeah, one minute and 40 seconds or something. He Also sat Oliver Ekman Larson and listen, they can dress an extra guy in, in the Olympics. So essentially Oliver Ekman Larson, Stanley cup champion, won it with the Florida Panthers. A great defensive defenseman when he needs to be, can also play a little bit offensively. If him, he played 0 minutes.

[PFT Commenter]

0.

[Biz]

He played not even seconds. He played nothing. He sat him there as a grocery stick in the middle of the bench like he was Paul Bisson. And that, that created a lot of bad juju. All of a sudden the media was starting to run with that. I think he got a little bit defensive over those comments. And then even I think in that game against the States, Jesper Brat wasn't really playing much. Right. There was some.

[Wit]

He was scratched the game before that prior.

[Biz]

So it just, it seemed like a lot of like mental warfare where you want to kind of, you know, you want to elevate these players and pump their tires much like you've seen from all the other nations guys. It's. If you go all the way to the dance here, it's a six game tournament. So you got to get on the same page in that team camaraderie quicker than anything you've ever seen in your life.

[Hank]

So.

[Dan]

And then in overtime when it's three on three, what is the strategy in overtime? It's the most chaos ever.

[Biz]

Yeah, like possession.

[Dan]

What do you teach the boys?

[Biz]

Well, so here's what, I'll throw it over to Whit Team USA when they were in overtime. Vinnie Trocheck isn't like a three on three specialist. Like he shouldn't be out there with that, those high caliber of players. But because he's so good at face offs, they would put him out there. They started the overtime with him. He'd snap it back and go off and then the neck, the, the like a Jack Eichel would come on. So we call those like repair men. And it was, it was pretty impressive. He took about three or four of those.

[Wit]

Yeah, he lost the first one because the opening face off three on three, particularly in the NHL is just five minutes. Like if you win that face off you can, you can basically control the puck certain times the entire time he lost that one. Then they put him back out off of his own. I think he took three one. The other two immediately changed and then other than that it's kind of, it's different in this pft because you're willing to just really run and gun right Regular season you already get the point. Let's try to get a win. But here like, like I can't just jump in and make this like a three on one, because what if we make a save here and all of a sudden it's a two on all back the other way. So I've never. I don't love the fact it's three on three. I do like the fact there's no shootouts this year in the Olympics. At least in the gold medal game there won't be.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Wit]

So that's nice. But three on three is it as a fan too, yesterday. It's just a panic, right? It is so nerve wracking.

[PFT Commenter]

It's chaos. Do you guys think the NHL should do three on three? Skip Bayless, Stock.

[Biz]

Here we go. I actually think that they should move to a longer three on three, even if you added two extra minutes. We did it in the American League to test it out for the NHL. Even adding that two minutes, I think would make a lot more games end in an overtime as opposed to going to a shootout. What's brutal. And another component to it is you're just trying to get those three guys tired. Let's say they're out there for like 35 seconds. If you can turn over your three guys and get fresh bodies. Oh, it's fucking. It's sharks in the water just circling their prey.

[PFT Commenter]

I think. I think they should go 20 minutes, five, start five on five every four minutes, take a guy off so you could get one on one.

[Wit]

Yeah, that would be a little ridiculous. But if you did. If you did. No, if you did, like, I don't know, five minutes, five on five, and then 10 minutes, four on four, then five minutes, three on three. Three on three for 20 minutes is what the gold medal game will be. I can't see it going longer than 10.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Biz]

You said what? Sorry.

[Wit]

It's 20 minutes, three on three.

[Biz]

No, I think it's 20 minutes five on five, boys. No, I love.

[PFT Commenter]

I love the two of you sitting on this couch right now. You guys are like the two old guys in the Muppets.

[Biz]

I. I think that all the way up until the gold medal game, it's. And then it turns over to five. If it's three on three, I'm gonna spike my mic. If it's 20 minutes of three on

[PFT Commenter]

three, I'm gonna look it up right now.

[Dan]

I mean, there's no way.

[Wit]

They're too busy posting my fart right now. They can't even get us the info.

[Dan]

It couldn't go 20 minutes, three on three. Right. Like somebody. Somebody's going to before that.

[Wit]

Yeah. 100%. 100% three.

[Biz]

Three is the minimum amount of players that you can have on the ice even in overtime. Three on three, if you take a penalty, they get to add a player so it becomes four on three. So it never. It does never becomes three on three.

[Wit]

What is the answer here, boys?

[Zach]

It's 20 minute three on three.

[Biz]

That is crazy.

[PFT Commenter]

Spike the mic.

[Wit]

That was if that. Oh, we got. We got OT starting here, guys. We're watching. Okay, we're watch too.

[PFT Commenter]

We got it as well. All right.

[Wit]

So what's your clock say right now? What are you on the clock?

[Dan]

1922.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Wit]

Okay. We're the same.

[PFT Commenter]

Wow.

[Wit]

That's not often does that happen. Okay.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Oh, no. I'm just kidding.

[Wit]

No, off.

[PFT Commenter]

[Dan]

The dipping the nuggets in the hot honey is a game changer.

Because I. Well, actually, let me ask this first. We think it's gonna be USA Canada, right? Like the USA is minus 800 to. To win on Friday. Canada, I think is like minus 375. Do you like we have to have USA Canada.

[Biz]

I think we're gonna get it. But you just simply can't write off a team like Slovakia who, like a team like Slovakia, knows that they're going in there where they upset the United States. That's going to be the biggest win they've ever had in their country's history.

[Wit]

Break away breakaway for the gold medal. What a back check. Oh my goodness.

[PFT Commenter]

That was probably.

[Wit]

Oh, my goodness.

[Dan]

Wow.

[Wit]

Wow. This should be. This should be great listening tomorrow morning.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Wit]

Dan, congrats on the Indiana Bears. That sounds good. You loser.

[PFT Commenter]

It's not gonna happen. Shut up.

[Biz]

But going to. Going to those two teams. I'll talk on Finland because that's whose Canada's got to play. They got some Honey Badgers and last game they were down 2 nothing to the Swiss and they had a. I believe with six minutes remaining. And they had some goals from some big players. Sebastian Ahu plays for the Carolina Hurricanes. Lekonen, who ended up having the winner, I believe in ot. He plays with the Colorado Avalanche, Stanley cup champion. And the other one who get one is Miro Hasken and an incredible defenseman. You hear not a lot about who plays in Dallas. He kind of flies under the radar. Easily a top 10 defender in the world. I would probably put him top five.

[PFT Commenter]

Maybe.

[Biz]

Maybe not now because we're. Isn't his game. Quinn Hughes, who's Marie Cider. So he's. He's definitely in the top 10.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay.

[Wit]

And for. For us as the American Slovakia, it's crazy what they're doing with it with their hockey and their. Their national team, because I think there's 5 million people in Slovakia. They've had a lot more success than the world juniors lately. And I think it's six or seven NHL players. They won that group. I mean, I don't even know what the DraftKings odds would have been with Sweden, Finland and Slovakia in that group for them to come out of there the winners. But that got them the buy into. Into the quarterfinals. Right. They spanked Germany pretty easily in the quarterfinals. And now it's like that's not a game where yeah, us might be minus 800. I don't picture it being an Easy game. It just. They got this. Your I. Slavkovsky, who was the first overall pick a few years back, Montreal, Canadian. He's really coming into his own. He's the leader. He actually played in the Olympics, the last one, when no NHL players were allowed, and had seven goals as like an 18 year old. He's got a few goals already this year. So not easy games. I mean, you'd think check would have got worked over by Canada and Canada has to score the couple minutes left. It's just. It's the one game elimination that you just never know what's going to happen. Hot goalie. You're done.

[Biz]

Yeah. Pft. You probably know more about this, maybe even you big cat. The history of the world. But Slovakia. So Chechia and Slovakia used to be one team.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Biz]

And then for whatever reason, it broke up. So imagine that those two countries are still together. They would probably have the equivalent as far as like up there with like Sweden, Finland. Yeah, they would. They would definitely be in like the powerhouse conversation.

[PFT Commenter]

It's like doing Hugo. Yeah. It's like doing Yugoslavia with basketball. Yugoslavia's got like, you know, if it was still Yugoslavia, it'd be Luca and

[Biz]

two on one, two on one for the Canadians.

[Wit]

This is bad play. Oh my God. Oh my God, what a save.

[Biz]

That was a high stick.

[Dan]

I got a question for you. What's going on with. With what are you doing to my guy, Tom Wilson? It feels like since he's playing for Canada, he doesn't have that same toughness, that same aggression that he has when he's playing for the Caps. Why not? Well, what. What is it about Canada that's kind of taking the. The piss out of him?

[Biz]

Well, I just. What are you referring to?

[Dan]

He got turtled the other day by a Frenchman.

[Biz]

No.

[Wit]

Dan was going to murder him, though. I think he.

[Biz]

No, no, that's not how it went down.

[PFT Commenter]

That's how I saw it.

[Dan]

That's how I saw it.

[Biz]

Well, he was probably just shocked that this guy just grabbed him and all of a sudden wanted to fight. Where normally you tap a guy in the pass, you say, hey, you want to go, bud? But he didn't. But he didn't say that. He kind of jumped him. And. And Wilson's probably surprised at the fact that at the time, I think the score was what, 10, 2 and they were spanking him. He's thinking, you can't fight in this tournament or you get. You get kicked out. If you fight, you get that game. And then the following game, because it was A bit of a soft fight. They didn't do that. They only ended up giving them the rest of that game and gave him the gate. But actually the player for France ended up going like this to the crowd, like, kind of being like, I can't hear you for whatever reason. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

You got it. You nailed it.

[Biz]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Hey, are you guys going to be watching on Friday from the golf course?

[Biz]

So we're getting criticized for that. Well, I am. It just so happens that Canada was playing in that time slot. I ended up watching the game last night and then this morning as well, just to go over it. Oh, we had this course, Yan's course, booked a month in advance and we had a match lined up. And, you know, we're obviously here to get some work done. We were, we were watching the OT goal on our phone. So if people want to scold me for that, for missing a quarterfinal.

[Wit]

That's one guy. That's one guy. One more. We're gonna win the semi finals. We need one more.

[PFT Commenter]

Sunday.

[Wit]

I could sit in the same seat next to this guy.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, my God. Oh, I've never had a win over him.

[Wit]

I've never had a win over him in anything. And finally, I'm sitting next to him and I'm talking to you two trolls and you trolling him. And I was even mad, even though you were trolling my buddy. I was still mad at you. But now we're all together as one. Usa.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, biz man. Hey, Big Wow, boys. Big cat for. Pardon my take. I got a question for Paul Bisset. Biz. How. How does that taste?

[Zach]

Wow.

[Biz]

Well, first of all, right now the. The American coach is crying. Very emotional.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, Sorry. Oh, yeah, no, no, it's classy.

[Biz]

Guys, listen, come on here. It was an incredible game, an incredible effort. The. The US Spanked Canada in the round robin and. And they looked to be very dominant. I was so proud of the way the Canadians played. I think they were the Underdog by like minus at least 500 in this game.

[PFT Commenter]

Coming in loser talk.

[Dan]

You were just an over. You can't be like, oh, look at what a great accomplishment to even make the Olympic team.

[Biz]

But either way, man, it's. It's really cool to see where the game has gotten to in, in the United States. And I'm really, I'm happy for him. Congratulations. What do you want me, what do you want me to say, big cat? You want me to just on. On the team? Hillary Knight just got engaged the day before, and now she ties it up under A few minutes to go with a goalie pulled and then they pull off the victory.

[PFT Commenter]

So.

[Biz]

Hey man.

[Wit]

Wow, boys. I think I'm not gonna say that.

[Biz]

Congratulations.

[Wit]

Your guys attitude there is going to help pompous Americans who can't win with class.

[Dan]

But I love that we can't win with cl. That's just a fact. You show, you show me a, a good, a good loser and I'll show you a loser.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, we're not.

[Wit]

Okay class. Hey Pft. Today we're winners on my birthday. And there's one more. There's one more.

[PFT Commenter]

We got more job. One more we need.

[Wit]

And you know what? The Olympics I played in or I sat in the bench in, in 2010, we lost that gold medal for the ladies. And then we lost the gold medal for the men. And this year it's going to be different, guys. It's going to be different. What a beautiful goal. I can't. Five hole.

[PFT Commenter]

That was awesome.

[Dan]

What a deke.

[PFT Commenter]

What a move. So sick. Wow.

[Wit]

I feel bad for that defenseman that gets burned.

[PFT Commenter]

No, don't do this Wit.

[Biz]

Don't be.

[Wit]

Well Dan, here's boys.

[Biz]

Team buddy.

[Wit]

You're Skip Bayless. Guys, you guys dog and poor girl who got walked. I'm proud of the American women. I'm just happy to be with Biz as this happened because, and, and listen, I, I, I know he would have gone, he would have gone crazy, rightfully so. But I would have done like he did and I would have been class and said congratulations. You two guys are real low class bumps.

[Biz]

You're American.

[Wit]

So I love you today. I love you today.

[Dan]

Guys, listen, we, we got to celebrate our wins. Yeah. You USA Hockey. We don't win that much. And when you win win, you gotta take it. I don't know when I'm gonna feel that emotion anymore. So. And also you know what? I'm not gonna apologize. I'm not gonna apologize for being excited about a win. That's a gold medal. Yeah, I just got a gold medal.

[PFT Commenter]

Same wit. Also the Canadians don't win with class. When they beat us, they pat us on the head. They, you know what they do? They don't win with class. They do the. They do. We're winning with class. And then they'll be like, oh, good job guys. You tried really hard. You go, almost.

[Wit]

Not today boys. But that's not today. They're not today they're losers.

[PFT Commenter]

But you know that wit. They, they pretend to win with class, but they do not win with class. Do you not agree I don't think

[Wit]

anyone wins with class.

[Dan]

Exactly.

[PFT Commenter]

Thank you.

[Wit]

But. But I. I'll be honest. There's a difference between tweets and sitting in your basement compared to literally right

[Zach]

in the guy's faces.

[Wit]

We come on a show for you, but like I said, I don't really care if you're not. I know you're trolls, but you're not trolling me right now. Yeah, I don't mind. Yeah, I don't mind when I'm not the one getting trolled.

[Dan]

Dog.

[Wit]

Indiana Bears.

[Biz]

I got a question. Are you guys doing a stream? If it's Canada us It is oldie. Canadian oldie getting the phone call.

[Dan]

No, no.

[PFT Commenter]

Because I thought you guys were streaming.

[Wit]

We are.

[PFT Commenter]

We are. We're not gonna stream against you guys.

[Biz]

I would go toe to toe with you all day, buddy. NHL's going toe to toe with Goodell soon. You think I'm scared of the EMT podcast?

[Dan]

What are you saying about Goodell?

[PFT Commenter]

Because we're gonna kick your ass.

[Dan]

Say a lot. Sit in my face.

[Wit]

Oh, they must be interviewing them soon. No, they must be interviewing.

[PFT Commenter]

No, you think we're interviewing Roger Goodell? Just. I don't know.

[Wit]

Why you defending them all.

[PFT Commenter]

We're defending the NFL. Like, you're actually saying you're gonna go toe to toe with the NFL.

[Wit]

I know, I know. We now know you don't listen to our show biz. For two years now, three years, have been saying he wants more Sunday NHL games. He wants to go right out of the NFL.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, that is the dumbest thing you've ever said. You're a. You've said a lot of dumb, bro.

[Biz]

We got NFL teams not even know what states they're gonna play in. You think we're scared of the NFL? Like, come on here. The Indiana Bears. Oh, man, give me a break.

[PFT Commenter]

Damn it. I wish this press conference had happened on Friday, not today.

[Wit]

Oh, I saw that. And I said, this is perfect. I guess even in his state anymore.

[PFT Commenter]

It's not even gonna happen. It's not gonna happen. All right, so wait, I actually have a real question back to. To real, real hockey talk wit. You played in the gold medal game against Canada?

[Wit]

Sort of, yes.

[PFT Commenter]

Was the vibe like before? Well, no, but you were on the team. What was the. You're on the fucking team. That's insane.

[Biz]

Front row seats.

[PFT Commenter]

Was the vibe like, though, like, in the locker room before the game, like, in terms of, like, nerves and just, like, focus and everything?

[Biz]

He couldn't even fill up the water bottles properly. His Hands were shaking so much, the nerves.

[Wit]

Hey, take your L. Yeah. And sit over there and be quiet. Suck your, suck on your thumb or I'm gonna send these two goons after you. That, that game, it was at noon in Vancouver, so not a lot of time for. I think if that's a 7pm game, you're, you're sitting around all day and there just wasn't really time to like panic beforehand. And that was a great group, amazing team, awesome people. And before the game, confidence. Yeah, definitely some nerves, but more the excitement and the chance of like every guy at nine years old was thinking like dreaming of playing in a gold medal game against Canada in the Olympics. So it was, it was amazing, great experience. And I think that the tying goal Parisi scored was the. I blacked out. I was on the bench and jumping up and down and did one of those, like had to sit down. Couldn't really tell what was going on going into that intermission, thought there's no way we're losing this thing now. And Sidney frigging Crosby, man. So it was an incredible experience. And just, just, even the bench stayed so positive when we were down. Like there was no panic and there was no sort of like, oh my God, like we're running out of time. It was just a lot of guys with tons of confidence and, and no give up and turned into one of the all time best hockey games. It was crazy.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, it was.

[Wit]

I mean and I think if they play each other this year, it's going to be. I, I, the ratings, I just can't imagine. 8, 8am Stinks, but stinks.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't know. Half of North America is going to be asleep. Like, I don't know.

[Wit]

Not if you're not. If you're a real American and a true patriot and you want to watch some great hockey.

[PFT Commenter]

I'm gonna be up. My kids are gonna wake me up at 6:30 like they do every day. But I'm just saying, like in the Pacific, like if you're on the west coast, if you're in Vancouver, it's at 5 in the morning. Like why did they, can they not move it? This is gonna be the biggest fucking thing I know.

[Wit]

So the, the men's gold medal hockey game is always the last event of the Winter Olympics right before the closing ceremonies. So just being, you know, being over in, in Italy, it's just, it's 8:00am I think, I think it could have been even earlier, right. If they did it at noon like usual, but they did two, so it's 8am Eastern. And that's the thing about Canada. Every single Canadian will be up at 5 in the morning in Vancouver watching it.

[Dan]

So, yeah, yeah, they are definitely going to care about it. What's going on, Sid and Crosby, what's the latest on him?

[Biz]

So people hate when you speculate injuries, but we've played the game before, and we've been in these certain situations where you see things just move a certain way and you're like, ah, that's happened to me. What happened was as he was going up the ice and Radko Gutas closed on him, he was trying to go stick on puck and he missed the puck and it went underneath the skate blade of Sidney Crosby's left skate. So his left skate kind of slid out because it had nothing to grab, right. It couldn't catch the ice in order to stabilize. So he was trying to stabilize on his right leg and it just, it opened up, which to me speaks MCL sprain. So you can have a first degree, you can have a second degree or a third degree, which is obviously the third degree is the worst. I've done a second and a third where you're. You could probably be out like a month, maybe you tape it up and you. And you survive one game to. To play through it. Well, in this case, you'd have to play two if he plays both to the gold medal game. But the problem is, though, is when the MCL opens up way too much much, it could end up getting into ACL. So ACL's the. Oh, you don't want that one. Like, by the time I ended up getting surgery on my left knee, my MCL was so opened that it tore my. My MCL and acl and I had to get them both repaired. Typically you don't get surgery on repairing an mcl, but because mine was so bad, that was the case. So speaking from experience, I'm hoping it's not too bad. And it's just a grain one grade one if maybe two MCL sprains. So who knows, man? I mean, Captain Crosby, the golden goal. Like, nothing he does surprises me. So I wouldn't be shocked if he's back playing and. And who knows? Fuck, we need him.

[Dan]

Hank reported that Bedard was on a flight overseas right now.

[Biz]

That's from Frank Saravelli. That was a burn, a burner account.

[PFT Commenter]

This is the guy that you're defending and being like, they're so mean to Hank. He literally was sitting on the number one sports podcast. He's like, oh, Bedard's going to. Going to the Olympics.

[Wit]

Hank, you're better than that. You're better than that.

[Biz]

I love you. I love you, Hank.

[Wit]

You're better than that, Hank.

[PFT Commenter]

Biz, would you, like, get mad when

[Dan]

you Biz, would you like to apologize for the, the curling cheating?

[Biz]

Yeah, you know what, buddy? I think Tough Dave, I think, I think you, you think Jordan every. Ever apologize for elbowing a guy in the face in a pile? You think. You think Tom Brady ever apologize down the guy's shirt?

[Dan]

That's.

[Biz]

You think, you think Tom Brady ever apologized for deflating the footballs a little bit in Indiana, The Colts? You think you ever apologize?

[PFT Commenter]

No, it's the Bears.

[Biz]

What do you mean?

[PFT Commenter]

You said Indiana. It's called reversing it. It's called.

[Wit]

It's pretty good.

[PFT Commenter]

It's called accepting my sad fate and reversing it on you.

[Biz]

Time out. I, I, I thought that when they got.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, it was, it was.

[Wit]

He's just joking. That the Bears.

[PFT Commenter]

You said Indiana, and I said, that's the Bears. Okay, okay. That was a joke. You were busting my balls.

[Wit]

I questioned checkers, and you're playing 3D chess.

[PFT Commenter]

This guy is just.

[Wit]

I, I was questioning biz on this, and he went with the. No, he went with the, if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. Which I was like, oh, because it's a game of honor, I guess. It's like golf almost in curling.

[Dan]

And.

[Wit]

Yeah, because of that, just to say, yeah, we cheated. And, and you. I'm like, oh, okay.

[Biz]

I mean, I can't, I can't really, like, be a hypocrite, because when I play shuffleboard, that's what I do. I keep a finger on it a little.

[Wit]

He brings his own sand.

[Biz]

I call it. I call it the French tickler. I give a little, Little tickle to the stone on the way of goodbye. Hey, baby. Hope you had a great time.

[PFT Commenter]

All right, I got one last question. We love you boys, and thank you for joining. I know you guys are doing a shitload of stuff. By the way, new sandbaggers, one with the map. Who'd you play with? The Blue Jays.

[Biz]

You played with Gruden, and then Gruden was with Pat Maroon and Ryan McDonough. So that's six rings between the three of them. Pat Maroon, obviously, everybody's aware of him. We're in a Stanley cup with his hometown St. Louis Blues. Then he ends up going off to Tampa Bay and one back to back with them. So three times Stanley cup champion and Ryan McDonough won two with the Tampa Bay Lightning. So they had good chemistry. And of course, Jon Gruden, a Super bowl winner with the Buccaneers. And he was electric and there was a lot of talking going on and I got to ride in a cart with him just, just like at the Internet Invitational. And it was an incredible, incredible afternoon with those guys. And then we finished it off with the Bob does boy. So we got three in the back. Yeah, three in the bank.

[PFT Commenter]

When are we gonna do pmt? Chiclet, Sandbagger?

[Biz]

I would do it right now.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh. Oh, I. Wow. That was me.

[Wit]

I. I think, I think we could beat them on the 13th hole.

[Biz]

I think it would be too easy where we. We should do that. And then we should also do frisbee golf.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, I'd you up in frisbee golf.

[Biz]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

It's called frolf, just so you know.

[Biz]

Oh, okay.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. All right. So Tuna, I don't know.

[Biz]

So I get laid, bro.

[PFT Commenter]

I got three kids. You got zero. We don't know if you get laid.

[Dan]

Also have sex. Because if you've seen some of these frisbee golf guys, they.

[PFT Commenter]

No, listen, Biz, you're fair enough. You're right. There's nothing cooler than a 40 year old dude talking about his sex life. All right, so I'm gonna go check

[Wit]

in on Bedard's flight to Italy, guys.

[PFT Commenter]

Roback.com rhobac.com Promo code take 20% off your first purchase. Q, zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com promo code take no like just honest opinions. What is the final gonna be and who's gonna win? No jinxing. Whitney, my friendship. Our friendship was on the, on the ropes on Wednesday because I prematurely called Biz to rub it in his face. Cause I was going on the yak.

[Biz]

You saved Canada.

[PFT Commenter]

You saved the Olympics. Dave saved USA Today. He texted Wit and Yan saying nice job, embarrass embarrassing the country today, fellas.

[Wit]

Well, all I know is that the craziest excuse I've ever heard.

[PFT Commenter]

Stupid.

[Wit]

Yeah, man. I had to call you before the yak. I'm like, yeah, you guys never call people live on the act.

[PFT Commenter]

It was a. It was an error, but I'm not. There's no jinxing, like actual predictions of what you think's gonna happen.

[Dan]

I'll.

[Biz]

I'll say that the way that the Olympics have gone so far, as far as the hockey, I think it's going to overtime. I think it's going to be Canada, us. I. I would Love like a. Yeah, I would. I would just love to see ot 3, 2.

[Wit]

Either. Either team.

[Biz]

Yeah, I feel like, I feel like a. I, I feel like if, if, if the Americans are involved, it'd be fun to have a 4:3 hockey game. A little bit more offense than normal and just a barn burner.

[PFT Commenter]

Where. Because you're just gonna answer usa. That was a boring answer. Biz. No offense.

[Wit]

Where do.

[PFT Commenter]

Where does us have the advantage over Canada defense?

[Wit]

So, yeah, the DRD is better. Overall, I believe their forwards are significantly better than ours. Just, I mean, well, Crosby being out scary and if he's out, that's a big difference. But I. Hellebuk, I think is a better goalie than Bennington. But in terms of like what Bennington's accomplished, it's not even really close because Bennington has won the cup and he's got the four nations. So on D, our D is better, their forwards are better. And in terms of big games, Bennington's had a better career than Hellbach.

[PFT Commenter]

But.

[Wit]

But we just need Hellebuck to have the game of his life. And, and I also want to stress, I am not, not counting out Slovakia.

[Dan]

No, I am not doing that. No, we're not.

[PFT Commenter]

And by the way, I want to say something to you wit, I. Because we've had this discussion before. We are maybe a little bit of trolls. I am full go in this game. If it doesn't go our way, I'm going to be very disappointed. I'm not going to say it didn't matter. Four nations was different. That was an exhibition. This is the gold medal.

[Wit]

So I metal.

[PFT Commenter]

It's. You gotta win this, boys.

[Wit]

This is the first time it's been best on. Best in eight. No, 12 years, boys. 12 years. And so this is a big game. If we can both get there. Biz. If you can get there and I can get there, it's. It's something I'll never forget and probably our biggest stream we've ever done.

[Dan]

So.

[Biz]

Happy birthday.

[PFT Commenter]

They're shaking. They're shaking hands.

[Biz]

Congratulations on the gold medal for the women's.

[PFT Commenter]

Thank you.

[Dan]

You.

[Biz]

I hope we can get the split.

[Wit]

I hope we can get both and I hope that these two never ask us to come on their show again.

[Dan]

It's a beautiful moment.

[PFT Commenter]

Why would you say that? Actually, one of you's got to come on on Sunday night. So actually maybe we'll have Yans. We'll have Yans. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Wit]

Yans. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

I mean, Yan is the best of the three of you.

[Dan]

Wait, so do you guys have a. Do you guys have a mayor's bet in case it gets to that? I know you don't want to jinx it ahead time, but if it's. If it's usa, you should do your

[PFT Commenter]

foreskin biz and then not do it. Are you.

[Dan]

You wit. You should have to take biz's foreskin.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

And put it on your own dick.

[Wit]

Hey, pfp, how about you shut the up and stop talking about my buddy's foreskin and then me actually touching it at some point, passing the torch.

[PFT Commenter]

Hey, I don't like how much

[Dan]

you

[Wit]

should have to put his foreskin on your head if Canada. There's nothing like that. It looked just like that mullet you got on there.

[Biz]

Yeah, there's nothing cooler than your co workers talking about your foreskin.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, like you didn't make a bet about it.

[Dan]

You talk about your foreskin like nine times a day.

[Biz]

I'll make.

[Dan]

Hey, my name is Paul Bisson. I got a sweater on my pecker.

[PFT Commenter]

Hey, you guys ever hear of a piss bomb?

[Biz]

I'll sprinkle my fermundo cheese on your Greek salad. You don't even know what fondo cheese is, do you? I don't really have much else other than. We appreciate you guys having us on. We love you guys.

[Dan]

We've kind of. It's like when you, when you look up a celebrity, it's like from, you know, who's like 90 years old and their birthday is like March 6th or 7th.

[Dan]

I think in this case it was the 29th, which is leap day. So we don't. We don't have the first episode. I think came out on March 1st, but we recorded it February 29th.

[PFT Commenter]

Right. So what time is it starting?

[Zach]

So Zach has 36 hours to do I have 18?

[Dan]

[Dan]

Long stream.

[Zach]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Now, is Zach allowed to sleep?

[Zach]

Yes. So we're, we're banking in four hours for Zach. His. We're gonna get him. We're gonna get him a

[PFT Commenter]

air mattress.

[Zach]

Air mattress in the booth. Couldn't think of that word.

[PFT Commenter]

Tough word.

[Zach]

Tough word. Sometimes. Sometimes speaking is tough.

[Dan]

Alarm clock.

[Zach]

Oh, yeah. So there's the thing. We're also. We have a wheel that every X amount of hours we have to spin this wheel. There's four punishments, four rewards, four challenges that are part of this wheel. And as soon as that hits, we have to complete whatever that is. All the punishments are. The four punishments are just 2 1/2 K in the, in the booth. Okay, so those are the four. Those are the four punishments because that'll equal the 10k that we spoke about.

[Dan]

Are we doing itchy golf?

[Zach]

We are doing itchy golf. I've come up with a good a. A fun way for itchy golf. That's one of the challenges on the wheel me and Zach have. Me and Zach are very bad golfers. Hank, can you attest?

[Hank]

I haven't seen Zach golf. He might be good.

[PFT Commenter]

I'm going to say no.

[Zach]

I'm going to say no.

[Hank]

So you're not bad either. Mac, don't sell your.

[Zach]

I am horrendous.

[Max]

Can't confirm. Not a golfer.

[Zach]

So Zach and I will be in the golf simulator and we have to stay in the golf simulator until one of us gets a birdie. And every time one of us gets a song. What?

[Hank]

No, I, I keep going.

[PFT Commenter]

Can you, can we help? Can like Hank show up and help? Maybe we're gonna come. We're come by the stream. We're gonna be part.

[Zach]

So that's the thing. Like we're doing these wheels.

[Dan]

Yep.

[Zach]

Every, every couple hours. But like there's gonna be a lot of in between stuff as well. Chinese workout at 9am we could do the Chinese workout.

[PFT Commenter]

Let's do it.

[Zach]

We could do the Chinese workout, people.

[Dan]

Is there a gimme range on the itchy golf?

[Zach]

Oh, we're gonna have to put a gimme range.

[Dan]

Yeah. So they could get.

[Zach]

Regardless.

[Dan]

So that was. How does mean what Hank did? Hank Was like, scoff. You guys get a birdie. Okay.

[PFT Commenter]

We.

[Dan]

Oh, me and Max have talked about

[Hank]

doing this for par.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, no, he just made it way, way harder.

[Zach]

I could get a birdie. We can get it. But here's. Here's where the itchy gets. It gets involved, and people may be like, every time you get a snowman, there's going to be a golf glove that we have. Itchy powder.

[Biz]

Oh, no.

[Zach]

And we're going to pour itchy powder in the golf club. So every time one of us gets a snowman, the following hole you have to wear. You have to wear the itchy. The itchy hand for that hole. And then if you get less. Better than a snowman, you can take the itchy glove off.

[PFT Commenter]

Pft. Are we getting tattoos?

[Dan]

Yeah, I'm down to do it.

[PFT Commenter]

Did you text our guy?

[Dan]

No, because I don't think anybody responded to that text, but I am.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yes. All right, well, I'm gonna do that. Set that up maybe Friday afternoon.

[Dan]

Mitch does tattoos about.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna get Vanny.

[Zach]

Fuck.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Zach]

Yeah, there's gonna. I mean, we're definitely gonna do the sass. The sassy Legos.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Yep. Good.

[Zach]

That's definitely on the table. We have, like, a basketball challenge that we're gonna do. Rainbow. We have some fun. We have. We have. We have some fun rewards that we're gonna do. Zach's gonna try caviar for the first time.

[PFT Commenter]

Wow.

[Max]

I think me and Max riding the children's book could be good.

[Zach]

Oh, yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

We're gonna write.

[Zach]

What's it called? Called Sleep Tight Sequan.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Zach]

Sleep Tight Saquon will def. We'll do that right before you go to sleep. That'll be the last thing that we do before your. Your sleep time happens.

[Dan]

Sleep Tight Saquon.

[Zach]

Sleep Tight Saquon's gonna rock. And if you have any other ideas, like, we have, we have a list of challenges and rewards and fun things that we're gonna do, but 36 hours is a lot of time.

[Dan]

Like, a lot of video games probably

[Zach]

there's gonna be video games in between. But if you. If you know, we're gonna be interacting with the chat, if the chat has good ideas while we're doing it, like, we have it. We have a. Like a list of things that we like, but we're open to more ideas.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, great. I'm excited. We're all excited people. YouTube.

[Zach]

Well, definitely be playing some Call of Duty.

[Hank]

Marvel Rivals.

[Zach]

We'll definitely be playing some Rivals. Arc Raiders will Definitely be playing some raiders.

[Hank]

We're gonna be playing flight simulator.

[Dan]

If.

[Zach]

Yeah, if we can figure that out.

[Hank]

We.

[Zach]

We would.

[Dan]

Does anybody here have a flight simulator that they could bring in? Oh, I do. Yeah.

[Zach]

Yeah, you can bring that in. That'd be fun.

[Dan]

We can get up in the F15C.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Zach]

So, yeah, we'll have the flight simulator going. Oh. So here's the Zach brought up Chain together. We're gonna do the chain together. Chain together. That will be a thing. But we are going to put a cap on that because whenever Zach said that, every single person replied be like 36 hours isn't enough time for you to do this. And we have a lot of fun ideas that we want to do.

[Dan]

Remind me so I don't what the chain together chain together was again.

[Max]

So it's a. It's a game essentially where, like, I'm a player, Max is a player. We're in the game. We are physically bound together. We're tethered, and we're just going up a structure that's pretty high up.

[Dan]

Right.

[Zach]

Apparently it's extremely difficult to complete. So if we started that, it would. That would just be the entire stream. So we are going to do that, but we're going to put a cap on it. Say for like next two hours. We're going to. We're going to be chained together. Chained together.

[PFT Commenter]

So if you have ideas, send them.

[Zach]

If you have ideas, send them. It's going to be fun. It's going to be. It's going to. It's going to suck. It's going to be fun.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Zach]

People are going to like it. And this is also. We've. We've teased this a lot. This is the beginning of Zach streams. So the last 18 hours is going to be all Zach and we. We are going to be putting out weekly streams on part of my take channel. Zach streams. So going forward, it's going to be. The schedule of. It may be a little off because of. We don't want to compete with like March Madness and other streams that are.

[PFT Commenter]

That are here.

[Zach]

But I can guarantee to the people we will be doing weekly streams going forward.

[PFT Commenter]

Love it.

[Zach]

After this.

[PFT Commenter]

Let's go, Zach.

[Max]

We were thinking start one day a week and then see if we can build on that.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Max]

See where it goes. I think PM streams could be good.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I love it. Great job, Zach. Excited.

[Max]

I'm excited, too. I appreciate the opportunity to get in there.

[PFT Commenter]

Can I make one request for a stream?

[Max]

Yes, sir.

[PFT Commenter]

I think there should just be a stream where we Just set up a camera in your. In your apartment. And we go live when you go to bed. And it's just a stream. Will he get up? No alarm clock. And just like, we could maybe.

[Biz]

Maybe bet.

[PFT Commenter]

Bet on it. Love this.

[Zach]

Everyone predict the alarm clock.

[PFT Commenter]

No CL clock. Everyone predict the time that Zach is going to wake up. And we'll give away something for whoever gets it right.

[Max]

If there's no alarm clock, take the over.

[PFT Commenter]

House on the over.

[Zach]

If we don't have an alarm clock,

[PFT Commenter]

how electric would that be at like 9:30 in the morning? Everyone's tuning in, just being like, is he. Oh, he's moving. Oh, no, he's not up.

[Dan]

We're gonna get like, Rainbolt in the chat and he's gonna figure out exactly where Zach is and like, order food to his door to wake him up.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, you down for that, Zach? We might have to get like a maybe heavier comforter just in case of boners.

[Max]

I. You go double sweatpants.

[PFT Commenter]

I was thinking wear a cup.

[Dan]

I don't.

[Max]

Cup's actually probably a great idea.

[Hank]

All right.

[PFT Commenter]

Fire Fest.

[Dan]

Fire Fest is going to be brought to you by Morgan and Morgan. Morgan Morgan, America's number one injury law firm. They've got a proven track record of fighting to get you full and fair compensation.

This is a paid advertisement, Hank. The Internet is because my.

[Hank]

I live in a building that has like, the building runs the Internet. Basically, you just pay the building for the Internet. You don't have to do it individually. And the Internet has been out since last week. I saw a couple emails, kind of laughed at them because I'm like, by the time I get back, you were

[PFT Commenter]

having fun in Orlando.

[Hank]

I feel bad, honestly, for the people that are running my building because I can tell from the way these emails are written that they have have the pressure of the world being put down on them from the residents because there's a lot of old people that live there. Probably a lot of people that just sit in the house all day and watch the news and stuff. And it has sucked because I've just been watching like, TV and stuff. On my hotspot. And it's like buffers and pauses and glitches out and stuff, but could be worse. But I just feel bad, honestly, for, like, every day. The updates are like, like, so we're in conflict with the provider. They said they're. It's going to be fixed, but it hasn't been fixed. We're now actively seeking out other solutions with other companies.

[Dan]

This sounds like the whole, like, YouTube, TV, NFL thing, like, contract gets signed.

[Hank]

It's going to take, like, they're. They're coming up with solutions for temporary Internet, but they're like, once the contract for that gets signed, it's still going to take a week for the temporary Internet to get set up. And it's.

[Dan]

It's. It's.

[Hank]

I mean, it sucked. It's not ideal, but, like, the way these emails are written, it's made me not feel as bad and just feel bad for the people that work in my building. Yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

So what are you doing? Just phone hotspot?

[Hank]

Yeah, no, I. I set up a hotspot and then signed in on my TV to the hotspot. But it, like, it's.

[PFT Commenter]

It's rough.

[Hank]

You watching live TV is not ideal. You can kind of watch like. Like Netflix or whatever, because you can pause it, let it load up, and then play, but damn, it might not be fixed for, like, another week.

[Dan]

God saves his toughest battles for his strongest soldiers.

[PFT Commenter]

I think you might need to go on vacation.

[Dan]

Well, so this is actually an idea.

[Hank]

It could have happened two weeks ago. Would have been great if you.

[Dan]

If somebody came up with the idea for an apartment complex like this. It's like, we don't have Internet. I bet you there would be some people that would opt into that.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yeah.

[Dan]

Voluntarily. Like, yeah, this is a good, like, detox place.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan]

Digital detox.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, that would be cool.

[Dan]

So you're just getting, like, a vacation, Hank.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Think of that.

[PFT Commenter]

Embrace it.

[Hank]

I mean, it's a good week for it. There's like, no.

[Dan]

I mean, start reading books. Perfect time.

[Biz]

Perfect time to start back tonight.

[Hank]

I decided flip open Don Coyote, and then I went to sleep.

[PFT Commenter]

No, just the. I. Just flipping a page will put you out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dan]

Celtics, man.

[Hank]

No Internet this week, Hank.

[Dan]

I'm. I'm on board with the Celtics is.

[PFT Commenter]

Jason. Don't do this again.

[Dan]

Listen, Jaylen Brown, NBA Finals mvp. No.

[PFT Commenter]

Hey, that's got to be the worst sentence you've ever heard in your life.

[Max]

I don't.

[Dan]

Like, I. I did put a bet

[PFT Commenter]

on the Celtics you talking about your seas?

[Dan]

Myself? Yeah. Celts. Celtic pride.

[PFT Commenter]

Beantown.

[Dan]

Come on.

[PFT Commenter]

Jason Tatum's gonna be back, huh? Seems like it.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Dan]

I'm not going to talk about my. My bet on the Celtics, but I just want Hank to know that I have a bet on the cell, but I won't mention it ever again. But there'll just be looks.

[Zach]

Remember when Hank got mad at me when I was like, oh, yeah. Jason Tate in practice today.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, he did.

[Zach]

That was great.

[PFT Commenter]

He got really mad at you, and you were right.

[Dan]

But we don't need him, Jalen Brown.

[PFT Commenter]

This is. This is bad, Hank.

[Dan]

Yeah, it's not bad.

[Hank]

I feel bad for pfd. It's just alienate. Like, if people have like. I'm sure the collective audience just rolled their eyes. It's so.

[PFT Commenter]

Like, I'm not gonna bring.

[Hank]

It used to be so funny, and now you just resort to just like this. This little bit you're doing. You try to do it to Max the other day.

[PFT Commenter]

What?

[Dan]

What'd I do?

[Hank]

What was he talking about? Jalen Hurts or Bryce Harper? Bryce Harper.

[Dan]

Guys having a conversation.

[PFT Commenter]

I was just Guys talking about Bryce Harper.

[Zach]

Right.

[Hank]

And the bet's not a bet either.

[Zach]

Right.

[Dan]

I. I'm not going to bring it up again if.

[PFT Commenter]

Can you bring it up to me?

[Dan]

No.

[PFT Commenter]

What's your bet?

[Hank]

40,000.

[Dan]

I'm not going to bring.

[Hank]

What if you do?

[Dan]

Nobody gives a. About my bet, Hank. I'm not going to bring it up.

[PFT Commenter]

So what if you bring it up? I care.

[Biz]

What.

[Hank]

What do I get?

[Dan]

Why are you so pressed about this bet?

[PFT Commenter]

What odds did you get? What odds did you get?

[Dan]

Fifteen. One.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, nice. Yeah. That's huge.

[Dan]

He's just.

[PFT Commenter]

It's. It's just every time you turn around, his PFT is just there.

[Dan]

He's seeing ghosts.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

This is actually not about Hank. This is about making money and making a good bet.

[Wit]

Yeah.

[Hank]

Yep.

[PFT Commenter]

It's like when you know there was foot footsteps in the sands when there was only two footsteps in the sand. It was just pft. Trying to catch up, being like, hey, my bet on your team. That was him. I'm not gonna bring this. This is bumming, Hank. Outs.

[Zach]

Celtics are now 15 to 1 on this sports book.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, so you just made the bet? Yeah. Oh, a couple hours ago.

[Zach]

It's a good bet.

[Dan]

It is a good bet. I swear to God, I wasn't even thinking about bringing it up. That's good, because I knew Hank would try to turn into a little bit.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, no, Han.

[Biz]

Into a bit.

[Dan]

You Know he will, but everyone's sick of that.

[PFT Commenter]

He always does that. He's going to make a bit out of this whole thing.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Hank]

Okay.

[PFT Commenter]

Your firef.

[Dan]

I had a pretty good week. My firefest is really. I discovered because I needed a new computer, right? I.

[PFT Commenter]

My.

[Dan]

My gaming.

[PFT Commenter]

You lost five of them.

[Dan]

What?

[Hank]

Did you lose another one?

[Dan]

No, I know where every one of my computers is, Hank. I had one that I thought was stolen. Turns out I misplaced it. Was stolen by me by accident?

[Hank]

Accident?

[Dan]

No. My. My PC. My gaming PC at home. So I needed a new one. Needed because I. I had to update one of the combat simulators that I like to run in the off season. And so that's when I realized that all my technology is massive shortcomings. I only find out after NFL season's over. So I tried to run the flight sim. Not enough space on it went out up.

[Hank]

Why, by the way, every time I sign into my computer, you can see, like, pft, and you're just active on Flight simulator.

[PFT Commenter]

What? That's true.

[Dan]

No.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, that's.

[Dan]

That's not true.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, wow.

[Dan]

I.

[PFT Commenter]

You've reversed it on him when he. Remember, he tracked you on. On 18 birdies.

[Dan]

Hank's just making stuff up because I haven't used PFT.

[Hank]

Also golfed yesterday. How'd you play?

[Dan]

I told you that I did. And we already had this conversation off air.

[PFT Commenter]

I like this. Yeah, I like this.

[Dan]

Not bad. I hurt my back, so that sucks.

[Hank]

Damn.

[Dan]

I guess that's the fire festival. But no. Hey, Hank, You're a liar. I have not been on Flight Simulator. I did it one time to do the flyover for Jack McCarthy, which he ended up not even using, and that was, like, late January.

[Hank]

What about your phone?

[Dan]

Oh, yeah, yeah. That's different, though.

[PFT Commenter]

It's totally different.

[Dan]

That's a completely different. That's.

[Hank]

So maybe that's what I'm seeing.

[Dan]

Yes. That's what you're saying. No. So I. I need to upgrade my gaming PC, right? So I talked to Zach. I was like, zach, give me the specs that I need. I go to the computer store. No free ads. So I don't. I don't know if I want to say the name of the computer store. Computer stores are awesome. You go in there.

[PFT Commenter]

I've been to a computer store in a while.

[Dan]

You got to check it out. Because you go in there, everyone's like super helpful people. It's like a little bit of nostalgia because most places, like most industries, you would just buy all the stuff online and Then you'd wait for it to show up at your house like a week later.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

This. You've got people, like, walking around trying stuff out. People like showing you where the different accessories are, how you can match stuff up. It was like a breath of fresh air going to a computer store.

[PFT Commenter]

That's sick.

[Dan]

It was surprisingly, like, one of the most. Most social stores that I've been in in a long time. So I got. I. I got a new PC, and then one thing kind of led to another, and I got new joystick, new throttle. I got rudder pedals for the first time. And it's becoming like a. It's a. It's a lot. It's a lot that I have now set up in my bedroom. I basically have a. A cockpit in the basement of my house. Like a full. Full airplane.

[PFT Commenter]

Cockpit rocks.

[Dan]

I set it up yesterday, and I put the VR headset on, and I went up into the cloud while I got lost over the skies of Syria. I felt like a bird. It was great. So I'm. I guess my fire fest is. I'm. I'm in a little bit too deep right now in the flight sim life. But that's okay. That's what. That's what the start of the NFL off season is for.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Is overdoing it on stuff that you weren't able to do.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

During football season, I've been beasting hard.

[PFT Commenter]

Do you beast, Zach?

[Max]

I dabble on the beast, but not beast games.

[PFT Commenter]

They did. The last episode was just all voting. I hated that.

[Max]

There's too much downtime. We gotta get to.

[Dan]

I need.

[Max]

We got to see elams. We got to see people turn on each other for the prize money.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Biz]

All right.

[PFT Commenter]

My fire fest. It's pretty quick one the. So at home, I play a game with my kids called Monster, where I. They, like, I pretend. What happened? USA Just scored. Wow.

[Wit]

All right.

[PFT Commenter]

One, one. Yes. Usa.

[Dan]

Oh, Hank's ahead.

[PFT Commenter]

Hank is it. That never happens. Hank usually behind.

[Dan]

You're in the future Hank.

[Hank]

Yeah. That was sick.

[PFT Commenter]

Hell, yeah, that was sick. Let's win this game, girls.

[Hank]

Boy down.

[PFT Commenter]

So I. Oh, it's like we're behind all over the office. Someone else just cheered the. So I play this game called Monster, where I pretend to be a monster, and then if they hit me with a ball, I go back to dad. And the way they know if I'm dad or monster is monster is fat hat forward. Dad is hat backwards. So now I just can't wear my hat forward at all in my house. Like at 7 in the morning, when I go to get my kids, like up and. And try to get them like, clothed to go to school, I'm wearing my hat and they're like, are you the monster?

[Dan]

I'm like, no, wait, so when you

[PFT Commenter]

wear your hat forward on the monster hat backward is. Is dad. So I switch back and forth.

[Dan]

That's very confusing.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. So now I'm screwed. I should have done anything else but the hat. So I just can't. Like, I'll just be walking. Like, I'll come back from walking Stella with my hat forward, and they'll just. I'll walk in and they'll just start screaming and giggling and running away from me and be like, the monsters here. I'm like, oh, it happened again.

[Dan]

So wearing your hat completely normal is the way to. To designate that you're evil.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, that's.

[Dan]

That's confusing.

[PFT Commenter]

I gotta switch it up.

[Dan]

They're gonna see random people on the street, be like, that's a monster. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. It's fun game though. They love it. Just chasing them around. So, yeah, I gotta figure that out. I gotta maybe rebrand monster. I was thinking maybe hood of up, hood down. That's a different kind of monster.

[Dan]

Yeah, that's a real bad one. One leg up.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, no, that's. I don't think. I also am just so sore from our Chinese workout. Hank did it. This morning, I'm doing a new viral workout where it's like 15 body movements and it's. It's pathetic how sore I am from 15 body movement.

[Dan]

What's the 15 minutes where. Where did this go viral?

[PFT Commenter]

All over Instagram. Just dudes doing it, being like, hey, I saw this one dude who lost like £20 in the last month and a half doing it. I'm sure he's probably eating well too.

[Dan]

He's probably eating Wendy's chili.

[PFT Commenter]

That's fine. I'm.

[Dan]

I'm.

[PFT Commenter]

I'm just gonna assume that all I need to do is my 15 movements a day and I'll be good.

[Dan]

Yeah, it's gonna work.

[PFT Commenter]

Hank, do you feel sore? It was a good workout. I liked it. It's kind of more of a warm out up than a workout, but it counts as a workout for me. Just move your body for 15.

[Hank]

We just do it every day. It'll be. We'll be in a better spot than we were.

[PFT Commenter]

Facts.

[Hank]

Not doing it.

[PFT Commenter]

Facts. All right, Zach. Your fire fest.

[Max]

My firefight is a week. I guess to preface a little bit, had a really constructive meeting with my building Little update. Did not get evicted the other day.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, that was huge.

[Max]

That was awesome. But he introduced a new term I was not familiar with 10 day termination, which I thought initially was like, he got. They, they can give me 10 days to then let me know I got 30 days, so I'd have like 40 days stack act. That could not be the case with like the writing of the lease. So now I'm just paranoid in my apartment to make any noise.

[PFT Commenter]

So. So he said that 10 is the 10 day being threatened.

[Max]

It was the next step is 10 day termination.

[PFT Commenter]

He said he's like, you got. You're close to a ten day.

[Max]

We do this meeting so that we don't ten day you, but next time it's like, It's a legal 10 day.

[Zach]

Wow.

[Max]

I didn't know 10 day was a thing. That. That was news to me.

[Dan]

Wow.

[PFT Commenter]

All right, so you might be 10 day.

[Max]

I'm. I'm close to 10 day, but it's pretend.

[Dan]

You got pretend.

[Max]

The other, other guys who get 10 days, it's like if they remedy the situation, they're good. But with the noise stuff, it's like, I can't take the noise back.

[Dan]

But couldn't you just say, like, hey, I. I was out of town, I messed up.

[Max]

That part went well. But it's like this, this is your only good mess up now. It's like I'm afraid to make any noise or take any phone calls or watch TV in my home now.

[PFT Commenter]

All right, so what about giving them like permission to just go into your apartment if they ever hear it going on too long?

[Max]

Oh, just give them open access.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I think you might have to be an open access guy.

[Max]

I'd have to get to know the staff a little bit more before open access. Right?

[PFT Commenter]

Or just.

[Max]

Or do I just risk it?

[PFT Commenter]

I feel like you might have to go.

[Max]

I could risk it.

[Dan]

Could you install like a kill switch in your apartment so, like they have remote access to turn off your electricity?

[Max]

Oh, like an external breaker box by the door.

[Dan]

Yeah, like if the alarm's going off, they've got the, like the zach button.

[Max]

I could find like a probably task rabbit that could reroute. What was the tone that.

[PFT Commenter]

What was the tone of the meeting? Was it, was it combative on their side?

[Max]

It was, it was. The meeting tone was friendly, but it almost felt like, like force friendly. Like they could go back to it and be like, see how willing we were to work with you?

[Dan]

Now that psych.

[PFT Commenter]

And did they say like, hey, your alarm went off for this amount of days.

[Max]

I, I. Luckily, I think it didn't. He did say it was the two days, but I don't think it went off the entire time.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay.

[Max]

I think it was like a couple hours up top off top of the day. Couple hours off top the next day.

[PFT Commenter]

Any chance, any vibe you got from him that he might be an awl?

[Max]

No, none of that. I didn't get any. Like, maybe he was into the show. Maybe, like, we could build rapport through sport.

[PFT Commenter]

Maybe you dropped like a Do you know who I am? Well, I'm not Zach. Dropping a do you know who I am? To his landlord.

[Max]

I don't have that. My bag. I'm a six mic. You know what I mean? I'm just happy to be part of the program.

[Zach]

We also will be incorporating the. The bomb alarm during this.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Oh, nice. Okay.

[Zach]

For a multitude of different ways.

[PFT Commenter]

All right, so let's stay away from the 10 day. But even if it's 10 day, you get 40 days. And then you also, technically, if you get a 10 day, you have what, 40, 65 days or no. How many days do we say we give them 15. So. So you. You'd have. You'd have 55 days. That's a lot of time to find a new lease.

[Max]

That's tons of days.

[PFT Commenter]

That'.

[Max]

Promising. I just like him. I don't know if I should make any more noise in my.

[PFT Commenter]

Isn't your lease up soon anyway?

[Max]

May.

[PFT Commenter]

All right, so you're out.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

You're gonna find a new place.

[Max]

But this one, I will say this one is so close.

[Dan]

It's like you can do better.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. You can do so close. Yeah. You don't want to have to. If you sign, I guess actually you can resign. But I think if you resign, I would like to be there because I would like to negotiate a clean slate. Resigning.

[Max]

Oh, fresh start.

[PFT Commenter]

Fresh start. Kind of the only way you resign this lease is if you get the fresh start start.

[Max]

Do you think there's a world on a re a fre. I get the fresh start, but they try to bang me on the, on the, on the rent.

[Dan]

They try to bang you on, like,

[Max]

up it on me.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, we'll negotiate.

[Max]

Squeeze them out.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, we'll negotiate.

[Zach]

Like, I think that there's a chance that they're that upon resign, they're like, thanks for nothing. No, we're going to. You can come back here. But we just raised your rent X amount, so it's like pushing them out without forcing them out.

[Dan]

Or it might be.

[Zach]

Or Their worst case scenario, they're like, oh, now this kid's just overpaying them.

[PFT Commenter]

Done.

[Zach]

For this apartment.

[Dan]

Or it might just be like, we've decided to go in a different direction. Like, they might break up with you. Which would be fine.

[Max]

Yeah. I mean, it hasn't been a perfect relationship.

[Dan]

It might just be time for you guys to go your separate ways.

[Max]

Like, we've.

[PFT Commenter]

That.

[Max]

We've spent enough time in each other's lives.

[Dan]

We.

[Max]

The path is complete.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

We're two different people.

[Max]

We're not the same we were when we met.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Dan]

You want to see them be happy. They want to see you be happy.

[PFT Commenter]

Happy.

[Max]

I don't.

[Zach]

I also feel like we could find Zach a much better apartment for his life easily.

[PFT Commenter]

Easily.

[Zach]

I've told him this.

[PFT Commenter]

Easily.

[Dan]

Maybe we soundproof it next time.

[Zach]

He's paying a lot of money for a lot of things that he doesn't use.

[Max]

I think I'm gonna do the soundproof panels. Pft.

[Dan]

Yeah. I like that.

[Max]

I was looking on Amazon. You can actually, like, double side tape the entire wall.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Zach]

I'll tell you this. It doesn't do. I did it for my dog when I first got my dog and she was crying a lot.

[PFT Commenter]

It makes you feel better. Better. Yeah.

[Zach]

But it doesn't.

[PFT Commenter]

Makes you feel like you're doing something.

[Max]

There's like an effort factor there.

[PFT Commenter]

Maybe. Yeah. Okay. Good show, boys. Good show. Go usa. We don't know the. So we'll just break glass here that people don't Whiton and Biz want to tape during the intermission in overtime. So you'll actually hear. You heard. You just time traveled. You heard us say one one. And then you'll hear in the middle of the interview what happens to the. The.

[Wit]

The game.

[Dan]

There's a lot on the line right now.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, that's going to be a. We're basically doing momento.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

All right, numbers.

[Zach]

56, 3.

[Dan]

15.

[Max]

78.

[Wit]

I do 42.

[PFT Commenter]

Is. Is 15 for how much jack tips?

[Dan]

No, it's a 15 to 1 is the future that I have. Jack tips. 15%.

[PFT Commenter]

15% jack tips. 15. This is what the.

[Wit]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

PFT. Picked 15. I asked if it was for how much you tip.

[Dan]

I tip 25.

[PFT Commenter]

All right, I'll do 25.

[Zach]

I'll do 21.

[PFT Commenter]

That's how much you tip.

[Zach]

No, I tip 25.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay. All right, everyone say their numbers. Say them again real quick.

[Dan]

15.

[Zach]

36.

[PFT Commenter]

25. 42.

[Zach]

Jack, 21.

[Max]

78.

[PFT Commenter]

Zach. 78.

[Max]

86. Jane.

[Dan]

86. 26.

[Zach]

Colton.

[Max]

22.

[PFT Commenter]

45.

[Zach]

45.

[Dan]

I also thought Big Cat said 45,

[Wit]

but he was 25.

[Dan]

Love you guys.

[Hank]

Sa.
