Yay! Evening, everybody. Welcome into the Winkler Verse. We've got a special. Hardly announced.

Moderately planned live episode for you tonight on the Dan Shaney YouTube stream. Brought to you, of course, by Carl's Place. We are and happy placem promo code Bart, 25% off. I talked to this man earlier today for We're going to do an episode of Take Me Out to the Paul Game.

So, Paul Imig is back, and he is the host. Of this game that we used to do probably six years ago now on the fan. And the competition was always me against Ryan Horvat. And so you said, Can you get Ryan Horva? And I said, I don't know.

but I could.

So here's Ryan Horvat. And we are back in action for Take Me Out to the Paul. Game, which is essentially. Trivia. And that's it.

I don't remember anything else of the rules or how it works. I remember the name. But I don't remember anything else. First of all, Ryan Horvach, good to see you. How are you doing, brother?

Hey, good to see you guys. Paul, great to see you. Once it's it's been a long time since we've all uh been together. I am excited. You you asked, am I available?

And I was going to turn this great opportunity down because I'm so busy right now with all that I'm all that's going down in my life. But it's a great opportunity to finally get my Jets lamp some run.

So if anybody wants this here lamp, Um 300 bucks, throw me an offer if you're a Jets fan. This is one of 55. Really? Yeah, it's a rarity. Um My wife's grandmother bought it.

Both of these.

Now, this Packers one is not for sale. Same thing. Is that one of 55 too? I have the certificate. I don't know, but there's less than like 150.

Why don't they make more? They seem like.

Something some people more than fifty five people would want. I don't know about more than a hundred. I don't know, and it could be like 500 people. I might just be like bullshitting. I could bring the certificate out on the next episode.

But, you know, this is rare. But this Jets one, anybody that wants it, just make me a good offer. Because I what I'm trying to do is get my Steelers one going for the season. By the way, I don't know if Bart's told you this, but we are also all in. on the McCarthy Rogers Steelers.

What sucks though, guys, is I think that they're going to be an absolute disaster. And I think that the Bengals are going to win the division. And I think the Bengals might even win the AFC. And I know that it's the Bengals, and usually they start slow and they're a mess. But this year, they play an easy schedule.

Everybody thinks like Burrow's going to retire early or ask for a trade. That's not going to happen. I think the offense is going to do what they always do: score a bunch of points and actually stay healthy. I think the defense is actually going to be better. Even though I don't think Lou Enarumo, I don't think why are we talking Bengals?

I don't know. Because I'm excited to see you guys and talk football. You are, by the way, you are ruining. I'm not going to talk sports anymore. You are ruining.

I lost my job. Yeah, you're ruining the game. I mean, because the next, the first topic is Cincinnati Bengals' upcoming season. Yeah. Yeah.

So now we've kind of taken that one out. Let me give us the details, how this works, categories, ETC, Paul. All right, I'm going to share a screen because I put in work. I didn't I put in a work. We'll see if this goes up on the screen.

I'm going to try to share it. Does it... I see it, and now I can add it to the story. Oh, look at this. Look at this.

Alright, six categories. Recent NBA Finals, recent Super Bowls, recent World Series. Packers hoist the back, baby! Get me out of the ball game, baby! And then to be fair, because Horvod is a Packers.

Bulls Cubs guy. I split the difference. It's bucks versus bulls and brewers versus cubs. And then... We created some lifelines.

So you can use one of each of these. You can unlock a clue. It'll just be, I'll help, I'll make, I'll give you something helpful. Reveal the initials.

So if it's down to like the last couple of guys, I might say like RH, BW, and maybe that's. And then a mulligan.

So if you get one wrong in one of the categories and you're like, I want back in. You can come back in if you want to use your one mulligan on that category. All right. Ben, who's a member of the Donation Club. Nice.

$3.99 a month to give me money and you get nothing out of it. You get to support the Winklerverse, which is worth more than anything that could else be spent on. Yeah. I agree. All right, so here are the categories.

But now, Bart, you just saw that comment. Get off the comments. Don't look at the comments. Yeah, if you guys wanna play along at home, you can, but we're not gonna cheat. I will look at the comments because I know the answers because I have the cheat code.

That's right. But you I think Horvat should go first. He's the visitor. Pick the category. All right, well, and guys, I don't want to hold up the show anymore, but I am going to say this: if the Cubs.

Don't. I told my wife, I'm going to cancel the Major League Baseball package. I may keep it. To fear for the Brewers, actually, but if they don't win at least eight of their next 10, I'm going to do something that I've never done. I'm going to quit on the team.

I'm done with it. Wow. But I will start with Brewers against Cubs. Brewers versus Cubs.

Okay. Let's do it. All right, there are 15 correct answers to this question.

So, Horvat, because you picked the category, you go first. Just answer one, just get one. Then Bart for one, Orvat for one. And on and on, okay. And I'm going to experiment with some music on this too for a little underlay.

Okay. This is the StreamYard safe version of Dance Pop. Nice. Name every player. In the Brewers Cubs 2025 playoff series last year, who had at least two strikeouts, a pitcher, a pitcher who threw at least two strikeouts at some point.

During those five games, it could be they had one strikeout in one game and one in another. It can be all in the same game, but there are 15 Brewers or Cubs pitchers. In last year's 2025 NLDS, who threw at least two. Strikeouts. I'll uh So hold on, if one of us gets it wrong, we lose.

Or you can use your mulligan. You can ask for the reveal of the clue. You can ask for an initial as you get it down. It's actually a lot harder than I want to admit. It is, yeah.

That's the fun part, is you don't have to go too far back to be like, oh shit, like, wait, when did that happen? That was just last year that I have to remember these guys?

Okay. So it's last year. I'll go I go first. You go first 'cause you picked the category. Yeah, I'll go Freddy Peralta.

led the series with 15 strikeouts. Fart. I can't even think who the number two starter was. I'll go. I mean it could be brewers or cubs.

I can't think of one. Cubs picture.

Alright, right, right. I'll go Jacob Mazarowski. was second overall in the series with seven strikeouts. Orvy. I'll go um Boyd, Matthew Boyd.

Incorrect. Oh. No, Matthew Boyd. If you want to come back in at some point, you can. But for now, Bart, over to you.

But to be clear, with that mulligan, you only get it once for the entirety of. The six categories. Oh, then I win the category if I get one more? If I were you, I'd want to rack up, try to get a 10-to-1 lead or a 7-to-1 lead or whatever. When can he come back in after me?

If he chooses to use his one once per entire game mulligan, then yes, but otherwise, otherwise, it's just you if he doesn't want to use it. And then two strikeouts? Jesus. Your rebay is correct. Two points.

Horvy, you want to use your one mully or let Bart see how many he can get? You know what? I'll use my moly actually.

Okay. I'm gonna go with um Colin Ray. Had two strikeouts. He stays alive, yes. This is hard, dude.

Like, boys not have two strikeouts. Didn't he start a game? Jeez. All right. I'm gonna go with.

Mother of Price. I know.

Well, because I'm thinking of guys, but I don't know if they were hurt. And then I don't know if they were the reliever situation. I've got no fucking idea. You guys have named four, there's 11 left. 2025 NLDS.

I'm gonna go with Mm-hmm. At least Shota Iminaga. No! Correct? He had three in the series.

Orby. That's who I was going to go with. I thought Freddy was going to be my sleeper pick, and you took him right away. I'll say uh Priester, Quinn Priester? Only had one strikeout in the series.

Oh my god. That is it. Mark up. But no, but you can go until you... run out and so you you don't get anything don't get dinged for getting it wrong other than the category ending.

Uh Aaron Ashby. Had three strikeouts. Fuck. Bart again. Um oh the music ran out.

I like the music. This music works. Yeah. Yeah. All right, Aaron Ashby.

Um Brewers, brewers, brewers. Why is this so hard? Yeah. I mean, it's hard for me because my team, the team I used to cheer for, has just had a bunch of scrubs. That's the issue.

They spent a bunch of money, but on no fucking pitching. To be fair, I was either too on. I was for these games, I was either too like nervous or too You're ugly, yeah. Drunk. Two two getting kicked outie.

Chad Patrick? Five strikeouts. Bart, you have five total points, Horvat two. How many are left? There are mm seven left.

Eight left. Um Can reveal a clue. You can't see it. How about no punishment if you get it wrong? McGill, Trevor McGill.

Trevor McGill had Two strikeouts point for Bart.

Okay, how about um God, who's that piece of shit come? All of them. Yeah. That does not narrow it down. Did Ben Brown throw in this series?

Holy shit, Ben Brown had three strikeouts. I would not have gotten Ben Brown.

Okay. Well done. I should Ben Brown would have been the 15th of 15 I would have named if I could have possibly gotten all of that. Uh Brewers, relievers, Freddy. Priester.

Who is the other priester-like guy? I don't I don't know I don't know who that could possibly be. Zanzoa. Bart, you have seven points. Horvod has two.

There are Woody was hurt, right? Woody was hurt. I think Woody was hurt, so I'm not saying Woody. You can think out loud. I'm not gonna help.

McGill The rebate. Um Do I use a lifeline here so I could use initials, unlock a clue, or mulligan? But right now I'm up. What's the score? 7-2.

And why would you use it now? I'm not gonna use it now. I'll say Brandon Woodruff. Incorrect. All right.

You assume you don't want to use your mulligan, right? Or a different... I thought someone was giving us a clue. The comment is Henry Rowengartner. Yes.

All right, no, I don't want to use it. I will end the category at seven. Very well done. Uh Nick Mears had three strikeouts. Oh, here is Aaron Savali 3.

That's it. That's it. Jamison Tyone, three. Tyone's it. Jose Quintana, two.

Oh, Grant Anderson, two. Drew Pomerans, two. And that's gonna be a Pomerans. And that's the list. That's not very good of us.

I was gonna go Pomerance. We got all the heavy hitters. We didn't really got the heavy hitters. Those are a bunch of bombs, yeah.

So. We all prefer things a certain way, like groceries. If you want groceries just how you like them, you gotta try Instacart. They have a new preference picker that lets you pick how ripe or unripe you want your bananas. Shoppers can see your preferences up front, helping guide their choices.

Seven to two. Seven to two. Category two, Bart, you can pick it. We'll go back and forth. All right, let me put the score.

Up here. I didn't know if I got it. Hell yeah. Oh, covers up the lifeline, but we can we can they got it. Look out FS1.

I'm gonna go. The one thing you can't see on the screen is unlock a clue. That's the other life. I'm going to go with. Yeah.

Recent World Series. We got a baseball heavy. Since we're thinking baseball, I might as well keep my brain there. All right. Name every player.

Who has had at least two total combined home runs in any World Series since 2021, beginning with the 2021 World Series?

So, if a particular player played in more than one World Series, great. It's his cumulative total. Uh if it's whatever it might be.

So Um, since beginning with the 2021 World Series through present day. There are 17 players who have hit at least two home runs. Jesus Christ. Cumulatively. in those Five years.

In those five World Series, do you want to talk through with me who's been in these World Series or no?

So, can you say it one more time? I'm sorry. Since what year? I'm sorry. I'm dumb.

Beginning with the 2021 World Series. Do you want to talk through it? There's been seven players who have had at least two homers. 17. 17.

Wow, really?

So last year's World Series was Dodgers. Mariners. And the one before that was Dodgers Yankees. Right. Yeah.

And then we have in 21 it was Braves. Against somebody. And then, and obviously, I'm purposely not commenting.

So, you guys. Diamondbacks Rangers was 22. Um Yeah, that was the weird diamond backs. Yeah, yeah. Am I missing one in there?

22, 23, 24. I'm missing 23. Phillies, did they win a series? No. N no, but weren't they in a World Series or am I losing my mind?

I don't know. We don't know. These World Series, we were on the air for all of these. Yeah. Giving gambling advice, breaking down rosters.

All right, so 21. Is he first?

So 21 was. All right. So 23 was the Rangers, I know. 22 was the Astros. The Braves were before that in 21.

Yeah, so Braves, Astros, Rangers, Docs play. Yeah. Uh, Braves beat, um The Yankees? No, hold on. Oh, uh astros.

Yeah. Alright. Because everybody, yeah, yeah, I enjoyed that series. That was a good series. I believe it won six or seven games.

Is Horvard first? You are, because you picked the category. Oh. Uh Shohio Tommy. Otani has had three home runs in that span.

Fuck you, Bart.

Well, I was fucked up because I was thinking his three-home run game came in the World Series was against the Brewers. All right. So I'm trying to think of these other teams, obviously. Let's go. Who the fuck, man?

Kyle Tucker? Had two home runs. What the fuck? Fuck him though. Quitter.

Port wing. Freddie Freeman. Seven home runs! Seven. Yeah.

Oh man. I'm gonna go Max Muncie. Ooh, I was gonna take him.

Next Muncie, two home runs. Fuck. I'm gonna go. Josh Naylor. Incorrect.

No. I thought he had two. Just so if you want to hang on, Hoverby gets to go, and then you'll get a chance if it kicks back to you. to use your mulligan if you want. Horty.

Trying to remember like so the braves I said Kyle Tucker.

So the Braves, it was Freddie Freeman, and then I think it was Duvall, Adam Duvall, that had a big series. In 21, I'll go him, Duval. Adam Duvall, two home runs. What are you looking at down there, Harvey? You pulling this shit again?

What the fuck are you talking about? I don't have anything at me. No cheating. I don't think you are, but. Where's your phone?

Let's do phones on the back walls. He's reaching for it. He's reaching.

Okay, he had to reach pretty far. All right. I wanted to see what Naylor did last year. I just threw it. Here.

I just threw it. I'll throw it in front of you again. Right? Toss it. There you go.

Bart, are you mulligan or should he keep going? I am not going to use a lifeline. Horvey, go until you drop. Or, okay, you can also use your other two lifelines if you want a clue. The initials won't really help because they're still.

Like 12 names left. Yeah. Alright. Uh. I'll just reset it and say, beginning with the 2021 World Series, there have been 17 players to hit at least.

Two home runs. either in a single world series or cumulatively over the past five world series. You guys have named five of them so far, twelve to go. I go Jose El Tube. El Tube had two home runs.

Point orbot. You can keep going.

Alright, I'll go. That Rangers team. What about Seeger, Corey Seeger? Three home runs. I can't believe how early I said Josh Naylor.

Fell early. Yeah. Oh, um. What's his name? The other pud that the Cubs picked up.

Jack Peterson. Incorrect. Shit. Oh my god. What?

I thought he did with the Dodgers. I thought I fucked up. I thought the Mariners beat the Blue Jays. Taylor had three World Series, he had three home runs in that series. I couldn't say anything.

Mm-hmm. I couldn't say anything. Oh my God, what a fucker. World. And so I didn't want you to read my tell as you were like, and they played the Mariners.

I was like, Mm-hmm. Sure. Oh my God. Oh my. God.

All right, and you want to throw in any other names? Just for fun. What is he out? He's out. Oh, well, yes, he doesn't have his mall again, so he's out.

What was the last one he got wrong? Uh Jock Peterson. The Vlad or oh, yeah. Yeah, hit some names if you want to try it. Vlad.

Well that's correct. He had two acunia. Acunia is incorrect.

Okay. Um kettle marte? I thought that was a good guess, but it's not not correct either. Mookie. Mookie's had zero home runs over the past five months.

I got a bona fide banger, Will Smith. Will Smith. had three home runs. I couldn't believe Mookie has had none. How about Tiascar Hernandez?

Had two home runs, Jesus Christ. God damn it. What the fuck? We're good. God damn it.

There's a former World Series winning cub on this list and a current cub on this list. Bregman. No. I think Nah, is it J is it Jason Hayward? No.

I thought he hit a couple with it because all of a sudden he got hot last year. Who was it? Oh, Schwarber. Kyle Schwarber. Schwarber with the Phillies.

He's had three. Fuck. And then the current cub. The Phillies didn't win though, did they? Oh, current cub Bregman.

Nope. I just said that. Did the Phillies win? I don't think so. No.

Who beat him? Who was the twenty that was twenty two or twenty three? Do we even watch this shit? I know.

To be fair, this is a lot of, this is hot, this is a lot. Uh I hate these beat the Phillies. Astros beat the Phillies. Um the the current cub Had these home runs when he was a Brave. Mm.

God, baby, someone's here's a brave. Oh, uh Dancy Swanson. Dansby. Yeah, he fucking sucks too. Gian Carlos Stanton, Marcus Semeon, Travis Darneau.

And Jorge Soler. Oh, George Solaire was the bra with the Braves. Damn it, I should have went Jorge. Oh, when he played in Chicago, a guy couldn't play in 50-degree weather. He'd be dressed like a ninja.

He'd have the eyes cut out. What's the score now? Bart nine, Horvey seven. All right. Got a five-banger on that one.

Boom, boom, boom. That's what you get for choosing baseball. Wow. Okay. All right.

Both baseball topics gone. Didn't expect those to go early, but here we go. All right, I'm going to go here. Let's go Bucks Bulls. Little Chicago-Milwaukee rivalry.

Bucks Bulls.

Alright, a bunch of a rivalry, bud. Two asshole teams. Name every player. who started at least one game for either team. Over the past two combined times when the Bucks and Bulls faced off in the postseason.

The past two Bucs Bulls playoff series. A total of 21 players. Started at least one game. in one of those series. 21 players started.

For the Bucks or the Bulls, the past two times the Bucks and Bulls faced off in the playoffs. 21 of them. Horbot is your category, you get to go first. All right, I'll go Giannis, obviously. If that counts.

Correct. Um Middleton. Middleton is correct. I'll go um Lopez, Brooke Lopez. Yes, correct?

Drew Drew is correct. Um I'll go uh Levine, Zach Levine. Levine is correct. Bobby Portis. Bobby Portis is correct.

I will go DeMar de Rosen. Rosen is correct. Frozen De Rosen. See I got I got names that I don't want to get one wrong although I could use the mulligan but Can we ask the last time these two teams met in the playoffs? It was like 2015.

We didn't talk about it with each other. If you want to be sure it was 2015. 2022, because the bulls, because I remember we were doing radio together and I was like, oh, the Bulls will take one. And I believe that's what happened. Because I said they do the same shit.

They're going to want the game five money. And that's how we got on the topic of game five money, which we would talk about every... Every Game five? I said they either want to get to the plug-in or they want to at least get a home game.

Well, obviously they get two homes. You know what I meant, though. Yeah. They wanted to win a home game. Any player who started at least one game No.

Correct. Really? 2015. Who's on that team? Oh, man.

Um Okay, so now I'm wondering how many times they've played in the playoffs because the big thing was: remember, Dunlevy. It was that series. That was that series. Mike Dunglevy Jr. That piece of shit.

Is that your answer? I don't. Yeah, go ahead. Is correct?

Okay, I didn't know if he started. I was worried that they've like played, and like, I just try to, like, you know, the Bulls are a bad experience every year that I try to get out of my head. Who was on the Bucks in 2015? Gary Wolfault? Yeah.

On the beat. Can I get a Yoki Noah? You can and you will point for Bart. Oh man. Horny.

I would have preferred Jokeem. But I would give it to you.

So, I want to say a guy, but he was just like never played, and so I don't know if he was actually healthy ever. Say it. Oh, no, no, no, no. Say it. He's bullying you.

Be careful for the bullying. MC Dub, Michael Carter Williams. It's correct. Let's go, baby. I love a 6-7 point guard.

Who can't shoot at all? Rookie of the Year, Michael Carter Williams. Dude, that was... He averaged like nine turnovers a game that year. Mart, back to you.

Okay. Calvis Ol. Correct. Yeah. Or be.

I'm trying to remember if Derek played him. that year. I would just say it. No, I'm not going to. Carlos Boozer.

Incorrect. No! Incorrect part. Horby has used his mulligan, so it's out.

So, Bart, you can kind of keep going until you get it wrong. And you have your mulligan if you wanted to keep going if you do get it wrong. Derek Rose. Correct. No, you son of a bitch, Bart.

I told you to say it. I told you to say it. Okay. Bart again, there are still Eight names left. You guys have gotten 13 of the 21.

Uh, Buck's big man in 50. You know what? I wanna I wanna come back in. I wanna use my mole again. What you did already?

Oh shit. Yeah. I completely forgot about that whole. Man, I fudged up, guys. But I can't think of another buck.

I'm gonna say. Oh yeah, I can. Yes, I can. Because we have pictures. with the team.

And I'm gonna say Jared Bayless. Fuck you. Incorrect. Other guesses I would have. I'm not using it.

You want Mulligan or no? No. No, okay, go for it. Oh, I got a bunch. I had Patrick Williams on my mind.

Patrick Williams is correct. Yes. Didn't they, Paul? Didn't they play in 2022?

So wouldn't it be Vooch? Yes, Vucevich is a little bit more. Grayson Allen was cheap shotting. Grayson did not start a game, actually. Oh really?

But a different buck did.

So when I said Portis, was that 15 bowls? Porter's was game three through five of the 2022 with the Bucs.

Okay. Middleton only started game one and two. Portis started games three through five. I assume that was a Middleton injury. Yeah, I think so.

They're probably like it's the fucking bulls. We'll save him for the real series. Yeah, 15. I almost forgot about Jimmy Butler kicking the shit out of us in that final. Remember, they lost like 120 to 62?

Yes, I do remember that. That fucking sucked. All right, so what's the who are the other players? There's two more bucks from the. Twenty 15, 16, whatever season that was.

Rogdon. Nope. Because they were red still.

So one more buck from the most recent and two more bucks from the 10 years ago. Blood zone? Nope. Dudley. Nope.

Who was the guy that had the shot at the end? Was that Bayliss? Um don't know. Uh the books on Ursan is correct, yes. And then the starting center for that Bucs team was.

Okay. I don't know. Zaza. Yeah. You guys did get the entirety of that Bulls starting roster, they started all five games.

The other buck from four years ago that started. Wesley Matthews. Yeah. And then other bulls who started, you guys named Vucevic, Patrick Williams, Caruso. Mm-hmm.

Javante Green. I never would have got that. And my guy IO Dasumnu. I was gonna go with Io. I fucked up there, but I wouldn't have got Javante.

All right, Bart 16, Horvat 13. All right. Okay, good battle. And we're saving, I would assume, the good categories. It's my pick.

is your pick. And you'll go first. We'll have to do it again. Let's go recent NBA finals. All right.

Kai Trump. Doug Burnham. Oh, I thought you want to know who was in Trump's box. Howard Luttnick. Yeah.

England? Yeah. All right, um there are 21 correct answers to the following. Name anyone who started a game. For either team.

In either the 2023 or 2024 NBA Finals. NBA Finals 2022 and 2023. Name every player who started at least one game. In either of those two. NBA Finals.

So 2022 was. You can think out loud, you can work together, whatever you want to do, it's up to you guys. 2022 is Warriors Celtics, right? Were the options 22 and then 23 though as well? I'm looking for 2023 and 2024.

So 2023 was heat nuggets. Yeah, and 24 was... Thunder Celtics, right? Uh No, but the Celtics won. Thunder 1 in 25.

Who did they beat though? Wait. Pacers, Thunderbeat the Pacers. No, 2024 finals was the Celtics and the Man, it was the Luca Kyrie team. Yeah, right.

Yeah. Ball. The 23 finals always confuse the shit out of me 'cause that's where Miami is the play-in team. The Celtics played the Mavs? Who beat the Bucs that year in 23?

How did they not go? Oh, they lost to Miami, right? Yeah, don't look anything up. And then Miami also will also be Boston. All right, I'm going to go with that.

I think I know. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

So, Bart is the category picker, so he gets to go first. Can you just confirm we're on the right track? No, don't. But that's what makes it fun. The 2024 NBA Finals.

And the 2023 NBA Finals. We're played. by four teams. All right. And there were 21 total players.

Nicole Yellowkitch. Jokic is correct.

Yeah. Correct? I'm gonna go with Chris Staps Porzingis. Oh, he may have came off the bench. You didn't lock it in yet.

I think I did, though, didn't I? I remember he was hurt, so he came off the bench. Fuck. All right, go on. I lose.

Damn it. No. Bart. Bam at a bio. Yeah.

Uh shutting. You gone. If you, I mean, well, yeah, keep going. Bruce Brown. Incorrect.

Mm-hmm. What? Would you like to molly and keep going? There are still two categories left after this. How many players are left?

Three, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. Bruce Brown's that one. He is not. I'm so mad.

Okay. Mm-hmm. Fuck you, poor Zingus. Unhealthy bitch. I think I can get the Murray Jokic, Gordon Porter.

Bruce Brown. I think I could get the rest. If you want to use your mulligan and guess Bruce Brown again, you may. Yeah. Murray Jokins, Porter, Gordon.

And if it wasn't Bruce Brown, it was... I'm back in. KCP! KCP! Come on!

Come back! Correct. That's right. Tyler Hinero. No, yes, what?

You idiot. PJ Washington. Daniel. Derek White. Jalen Brown, Drew Holiday, Derek White.

Damn it, I fucked up. Poor Zingus. Horford started for president. Why are you obsessed with Bruce Brown? I got KCP.

Nope, but believe it or not, there are still further! Nope. There are still four heat players. You guys only got Bam and Jimmy. Arnold Chalmers.

Wrong era, no. Um God. Hold on. I mean, it's a to be fair, it's a just. Dog shit.

Oh, no, no, no, no. That was the Gay Vincent Kayla Martin scrub era, right? Yes, both guys started at least one game. Yeah, because they were, of course, just Gabe Vincent started all five games. Caleb Martin started one.

There's still two Heat players. I feel pretty good that I came back with KCP. That was worth the mulligan for me. I spent so much money that year on Boston, and I was like, no chance they're really going to lose to this Heat team. And fucking gave Vincent.

Oh, I remember it well. Yeah. It was unbelievable shit. The other two heat players, one, this is just for fun, obviously, one is currently on the Cavs and one is currently on the Jazz. Struce.

Struce is correct. He's the calv. The jazz. To be fair, this person doesn't really play on the jazz, but he is technically on the jazz. For what team the heat?

Yeah, the Heats team. I don't know. Kevin Love. Oh yeah. What's the score?

23 Mm. Seventeen. Oh, now. All right, so we still. have two categories left.

We do. We each have our reveal initials. And unlock a clue, which we can use in the same category, right? Sure. Okay.

All right. Horvod, it's up to Packers hoist Lombardi or recent Super Bowls. I'll go recent Super Bowls actually. Yeah, we gotta save on the P. You gotta.

It's always gotta go last. All right. There are 19 correct answers to this. Name every player. These are so.

Hard. You're a psycho. It's maddeningly hard. I hear you. A lot of pressure too.

Every player who recorded at least three. Total combined receptions. across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 Super Bowls. 2023. 2024.

and 2025 Super Bowls. There are 19 players across those three Super Bowls. Who have accumulated a total of three or more receptions.

So 2023, 2024, 2025. I don't have to talk this out. All right, I go for it. Hi, dude. Talk it out with me.

Dude, just think of who's in been in the fucking Super Bowls the last I mean, alright, just... You'll chiefs lost. No, he's not in it last year. Patrick Seahawks. I don't want to help him, Paul, and I don't think I should have to.

Pedro Seahawks. Chiefs, Eagles. If he's got the Chiefs in it last year, I'm letting him go. Chiefs beat the who? Who do the Chiefs beat?

When? Anytime. Horvy, you can go first whenever you're ready. Travis Kelsey. Has a total of 19 receptions in those Super Bowls combined.

Yes, correct. Bart. That is the top answer, by the way. Um DK Metcap. Hello?

Incorrect. What? Yeah. Last year's Super Bowl? 2023.

2024, 2025.

So not last year's Super Bowl. Yeah. 2023. We have an executive decision to make here. Yeah, he said the years.

That's why I don't...

Alright, so I'm I'm up, right?

So wait, wait, Bart. Yeah. Okay. I yeah, I didn't yeah, I did. I fucked up.

I gotta be held accountable for my own actions. I fucked up. Orvy. Uh Christian McCaffrey. Eight receptions Niners Chiefs.

Brandon Ayuk. Ayuk, three receptions flirting right on that line, but yes. Fuck this. game. I never liked it.

Um Jeeps. McColl Hardman? Three receptions. I could save my mulligan, but I needed Contavius Caldwell Pope.

So fucking bad. All right, Rishi Rice, that criminal. Yeah. Six receptions, so yes, correct. Chiefs.

Hold on! Hold on! Here, I You said 2025 Super Bowl. The Super Bowl, 1996 Super Bowl, was played in 1997.

So when you say 25, I think you mean 25 seasons. You could have cleared. I don't know. The Super Bowl in 2023, 2024, and 2025. No, that's not how it works.

I will respectfully. Continue to not play in this category, but I do play under protest. Fair enough. Art still has a one-point lead. Oh wait, I'm not done.

No, I know you're not. I know.

Oh. Just setting this just setting the stage.

Alright, I'm gonna go Pacheco. I think Pacheco. I think I want some money off that. Evan reception. Um high game.

Juju Smith Schuster. Nine receptions. Yeah, I was gonna say him first. And then I'm like, no, DK Metcalf, because the Seahawks lashed. God damn it.

Trying to think of who I won money off of. Devontae Smith for sure. 11. I was going to say AJ Brown. A.J.

Brown, for sure. Mark. You might as well say Dallas Cotter. Dallas Cotter. Kenneth Gainwell for sure.

Saquon. Gainwell's correct. Um What about Justin Watson? Five receptions. Um And then No, you know what?

I got one more. Jarek McKinnon. Five receptions. Say Xavier worthy yet? Bar.

Fuck. What? I don't remember if he did. I think I'm gonna stop actually. I'm gonna stop.

Yeah. All right. The others are MVS, friend of show. Go ahead and do that. Debo.

Noah Gray? Jawan Jennings. And then, did someone say Saquon? I don't think someone said Saquon. Bart did.

Oh, randomly in the background? Yes. Okay. All right. I like knew that, but I was 30 to 23.

Oh, and DK was on the Steelers last year. I was going to say, your whole thing was why it was like your whole thing was that it was DK, and then. And then I was like, none of what it even made sense because I was like, okay, as your host, I have to be quiet, but like, that wasn't your issue. I fucked that up so bad. I was just like.

I didn't want to give away anything because obviously I didn't want the years. I thought that was the best part of the question. Yeah. Score. 30 to 23.

That was a 13.0 run. Uh I hope DK is fine in the Super Bowl this year. What an all-time fuck-up by me. You felt the pressure. You had the lead.

I thought he meant JS. I was like, you does he oh, and I d I sh yeah, JSN, but All right, so the last category is Packers hoist the Lombardi. And you get to kick it off. And you're an owner, so there's your shot.

Alright, let's find the topic. Here, where are they? Um. Name every Packers player. Who had at least one sack?

or one touchdown. In the 2010-2011 postseason that concluded with the Packers winning the Super Bowl. There are nineteen correct answers. A Packers player who, in the postseason, in the postseason, in the playoffs, Had at least one sack or one touchdown. That concluded with them hoisting the Lombardi.

19. Correct answers. Bart, you're first. Jordy Nelson. Jordan else it Correct, two touchdowns.

Um Greg Yettings. Greg Jennings to touchdowns. Trimon Williams. Dramond Williams, touchdown, interception returns 70 yards against the Falcons. I will go, um Damn, that was a good call, Bart.

Um, I'm gonna go BJ BJ Raji. Yeah, you fucking asshole! God damn it! Yes, correct. A very fun fumble return for a touchdown.

And he had a sack, by the way. I would like to unlock a clue.

Okay. Well, I don't want to get one wrong because it's over, so I need to use... All right. Wait, wait, wait! Fuck, I don't know if he scored.

Okay, I can give you a clue. You want a clue on the sacks or the touchdowns? I'll let you. I'll. offer that as the hosts James Starks.

Yeah. Okay, Starks is correct. He had one rushing touchdown. Yeah. Um you maintain your lifeline.

Go defense, Clay Matthews. Three and a half sacks throughout the postseason leading the team. You both have two lifelines left. I'll give you some initials. Uh or give a clue.

We also could. Give me a clue. Give you a clue. You want a touchdown or a s uh a touchdown or a sack clue. Touchdown.

Zack. Zack. Exactly. We just confirm one thing. This person had a sack for the Packers as a former Heisman trophy winner.

Mm. Wilson. What's up? Charles Woodson. Correct.

I'm sack. For me. Mart, you still have your initials clue at some point. Desmond Bishop. Had a sack.

Yes, correct. I'd like to use my initials on a sack. Um I'll give you. Do you want me to give you just because there's so there's four left? There's four guys left who had a second initials.

For a sack, there's four. For this four left you had a sack.

Okay. Um I'll tell you what. What Positions, what posit would you have a preference on a position? of the initials I give you, because that might help me narrow it down. Um Defensive line.

D line CJW. You piece of shit. I would just try to think of somebody else. I could think of another couple guys that don't have those initials that got paid because of that season. Although it's hard in the postseason, man.

Shit. BJW. Defensive on the defensive line. Yeah. Jermichael Finley.

Was injured. Yeah, dude, he broke his neck. Give him take that back. What you're now you're just overthinking this. Keep in mind this way of the well this way I shouldn't say anything.

Brandon Jackson. Correct. Had a touchdown receiving. He did? He did.

Holy shit. Um. Eric Walden had a sack. Yes, he did. He got paid the next year or two, or the year after, I can't remember.

He was ugly as shit. CJW. CJW Claude Jean You're right there. Wait. Oh Come on, Bart.

So his first name is CJ and his last name is W? CJ Williams? Oh no. Yeah. Can I feel it now?

Incorrect. Here we go. I lost. CJ Wilson. CJ Wilson, yes.

Jesus. Sam Shields also had a sack on a corner. Sam Shields had a sack. I think that's all I got. Touchdowns.

Oh, there's some good touchdown guys. All right, so Jordy Jennings. Driver No driver. No driver. And did Andrew Corliss like score a touchdown or something?

Andrew Corliss did not, but the game's over.

So Andrew Corliss did not put it, but a different tight end did. Dick Rod? Get it! Dick Rad. I don't know who that would be referencing.

Richard Rogers? No. Justin Perrillo. No, I'll give you a clue. This guy was an early adapter to Twitter.

Tom Crabtree. Yes. Oh my fucking it was a good clue, right? Yes. Tom grabs you at a touchdown.

Um another touchdown was scored by Ben's watching this. On a plane. That's awesome. Thank you. This other guy who scored two touchdowns in this playoff run is currently a Robbie McLough co-host.

Oh, Koon. You correct? Um This quarterback is one of the best to ever do it. Aaron Rodgers had two rushing touchdowns. Thought about it.

Two rushing touchdowns. He also had a tackle in the NFC Championship game. This wide receiver wore a sweatshirt. James Jones. Jones.

And then this safety would have been a Hall of Famer if not for a 2011 season broken neck. Yeah. Legend. Nick Collins. And then the last guy who got a sack, one sack, outside linebacker whose name kind of sounds like the thing that cleans the ice in hockey.

Oh, uh, Zombo. Frank Zombo. Frank. Yeah. I was gonna actually did I say I was gonna say him too.

Frank Zombo. That's that's the list. Uh Horvot 36, Bart 28. I cheated on the 2015 bulls, so it's fine. How?

Who did you take? Who did you take? Who did you cheat with? The whole fucking lineup. I didn't.

I was going to say, how the fuck was it? Jimmy Rose, fucking asshole. Augustol, I had no fucking clue. Where was I want to know where Carlos Boozer was that series? Yeah, it's a good question.

Horvey, who are you taking first in the NBA draft? Oh man. Do you care? Yeah. I think the Wizards are going to be a lot of fun, actually, man.

Like, I might look at some tickets with Trey Young. And I don't, I don't, who would you take number one, though? I don't know. I think DeBansa feels like the obvious. I mean, not that I've like studied hours and hours of tape.

Oh, do you want to do a draft show with me, Paul, or Horvat, or whoever? Not NBA, 'cause I'm not good enough. Yeah, I'd I'd say probably him or Peterson, right? or camboozer, but I I I don't know. Welcome, everyone.

Yeah, let's do it. It's Tuesday night, the 23rd. Bucks. They draft 10 or wherever the yeah yeah. And then even beyond that, like are they going to um I mean, that could be the night Giannis is traded.

So, well, I was going to do a round one three-hour live show. Yeah, let's do it. I'm in. Join as much as you'd like. But what would be, I mean, obviously, what would.

turn the whole night as if like Two hours before the draft, Giannis was traded.

Well, then I guess I'd be doing a five-hour live show. I did my Yeah, my first ever. Sports Wager. Related to Giannis. What'd you take?

Your first ever bet? Mm-hmm. I got 30 to 1 on Giannis to Orlando. I like that. Where'd you make the bet, Pato?

Uh, I don't know, a friend of mine said, Hey, do you still he's like, he's like, I'll take care of it for him. All right, cool. I don't even know the answer. 30 to 1, Orlando Manager. And then so within an hour of that happening, it went down to like 11 to 1 because this was right when they hired.

John Sweeney. You need somebody that could score. They're pretty brutal to watch. He could move to Orlando. There's Disney there and shit, Universal.

He's take the kids there all the time. Brooke Lopez can join him. Didn't he say free tickets from my brother at one of the parks? Yeah. I think uh your brother gets free tickets what I have more than one brother.

I know, but which one works for... Disney or Universal. One of the three. Hotel Brother? Yeah.

Okay. On a different note, I think the Spurs are going to win again tomorrow night. I hope so. That was the easiest $20 I ever made. I should have put $5,000 on it.

I kind of think they're going to sweep the series now. I do too. That would be very fun. Series price was plus three thirty before yesterday. I thought, ah, it needs to be a little higher.

The Knicks fans got a little too cocky. Kat's the best player in the series. We're going to look at this Knicks team very much like they looked at the Suns. Like. They were up 2-0 and they fucking...

Trump going to the game. The whole environment being shut down is. A more Equivalent version of a tiny two-down, two-to-go tweet from LeBron James. I just think I just think the Spurs kind of like figured some shit out, and I also think that they're a bunch of 22, 23-year-old kids. Like, they were game two, they should have won.

Wemby throws the ball at Castle's back like a Jabroni, and then like that's whatever, right? You're a young player, but then he goes and throws Jalen Brunson out of bounds and commits the dumbest foul when they're in the bonus. You know what I mean? Like, that's the guy you put on the free throw line. I just, I mean, if they hit shot, that was the difference.

Like, they came out, they hit shots like they did game two, but then in the second quarter. In game two, they only scored 18. They just couldn't buy a bucket. The non-Wemby minutes were really bad. Instead, I don't know.

Castle was really good. I think they figured some stuff out. We'll see, though. I say that Brunson will probably score 50 tomorrow. Two questions.

Is Spurs fan Bart putting out chairs for a 4-2?

Okay. Seriously. No, I wouldn't do that because they have uh Because that would mean they're winning Two of the next three on the road. When I did that for the Bucks. They had three or four at home yet.

So you had that back pocket. I mean, Rogue teams have won all three so far. And then second question. Of the Spurs Backcourt, Harper Castle, Fox. Right now, who's the worst of those three?

Yeah. Obviously, right? Yeah. Do you know he's gonna get like $62 million per year for the next four?

Well, he's the third best guard on their fucking team. I don't know. I mean, they they can win the championship and then figure this out later, but That's not great. I mean, I know they traded for them when they didn't know that they had all this, but like. That's a problem.

I just think Harper has the ceiling like to be a top five player. I mean, he's a rookie. These are the NBA finals, and he just, he, like, He could go out and just get him a bucket. He, um He's a stud. I mean, Castle's great too, though.

Like, I mean, you know what I mean? Like, he could be a top five, top 10 player, but. Those two guys are ridiculous. I would say maybe like now. I mean, Fox is having not the best series, and I don't think he's very healthy, which I know for a fact he's not healthy.

I would say, like, Fox is probably the better player now, but as far as like ceiling potential, Harper's going to be the better player.

Well, for sure, if that makes sense. But you would say that for the rest of the series. Like if okay. Pop a third. How about this way?

You don't get Fox or Castle or Harper for the rest of the series. You got to bench one permanently for the rest of this series. Yeah, Fox. Right. Okay.

I'm with you.

Now, he had a great, he had the huge shot, like the clinching, like, okay, they actually won this game shot at the end. I just don't trust him and he's thin. He can get pushed around more than obviously the Harper and Castle's a fucking bully, and I mean that in the best way. Yeah. It's just I mean it's been a it I'd been an awesome series, like just an incredible series.

It would have really sucked if it was 3-0.

So I'm very glad that it's not. Yeah. Horvot We did this earlier too. Who do you think were the We'll just say the top five. Who do you think were the five biggest celebrities at the game of game three?

Oh man. All right. So are these like New York celebrities? Uh so this is how we categorize was like US celebrity. Like, not global, not New York, but a totality of the United States.

Spike Lee, number one. Whoa, what? Really? I'm trying to remember who was at the game now. I give you a list if you want.

All right, so, like, this Trump count. Yeah. Okay, well the President Trump. Yes, he should be one. Yes, Spike Lee, man.

Do the right thing. Ben Stiller, Timothy Chalamet, Larry David, Tina Faye, Tracy Morgan, Dave Chappelle. Eli Manning, Derek Jeter. Um Yeah, see I'm gonna take the sports guys, especially the New York sports guys away because like if we see Eli like in Wisconsin like like we don't give a fuck, you know, or like Jeter like I mean, Jeter. I'll say it.

I think Jeter is one of the more overrated players in Major League Baseball history. The status. Jeez, what a scalding hot take from you. But I mean, look, fuck. Oh, Jay-Z.

I'll say it. Tom Brady's the GOAT, but Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback we've ever seen. Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback we've ever seen. Ever seen? I don't think that's actually a really tough question, man.

Right now, Chalamet probably is like the biggest star. He wouldn't have to. I think Shaq and uh I would still put like Ben Stiller and Chris Rock and Jay-Z over Shalomy. Cardi B. Cardi B.

Cardi B's got to be in the top 10.

So then so then the secondary part to that Orvi was Okay. The most famous player in the game was who? Who's the most famous player in the game? In the Knicks Spurs game, game three. He was the most famous, most famous player in the game.

Wendy? I think that's right, right?

Now, where would Wemby rank on this list?

So, the actual most famous player in the game itself. Was the blank best player uh was the most blank Most famous person in the world. John Stewart's ahead of Wimby. Jon Stewart hasn't even been mentioned. I almost feel like Cat would almost be like ahead of Wemby just because like Cat didn't.

Yeah, because like his girlfriend, man, she was like uh part of the Kardashians, plus like basketball culture and just culture all around is like cat always like crying about like, you know, the the well whoever whoever you decide, they're no higher than ninth. No, no, but if LeBron's playing in this series, then he's the biggest celebrity, or Steph even. That's kind of where we were. Those are the two I said. Is LeBron over Trump?

No, Trump's king of the world. Is LeBron over Jay-Z and Shaq? Yeah, LeBron, well. I don't know about Jay-Z. I don't think so either.

I think Jay-Z takes uh it's close. But And again, you're talking like... Make sure you guys smash that subscribe button and drop your answers in the comments. This is the first time I've ever once even bothered my wife with anything we've ever talked about. And I made her give me her top 10 list out of curiosity.

See, like Larry is Larry David. Yeah, Tina Fay, Tracy Morgan. Larry Davids in the top 10 for sure. Your boy David Zaslov. Who?

The Warner Brothers guy. Rama man. I don't know. I don't know. They're a lot of like the suit guys.

Yeah, I would go. Right now, I feel like Chalamet is number one. I do, just because he's dating Kylie Jenner. He again should have won another Best Actor Award, but he uh opened up his mouth. For what?

For uh Marty McFly or whatever the movie was. I fell asleep, I'm not going to lie. Mm-hmm. He should have won an Oscar. I couldn't stay up for it.

Well, that's just what I hear. I don't know. I didn't think that he should have. I mean, I. I'm not really a fan of his, but the dude's everywhere.

So I would say he's probably like, was Denzel there? No. We're just How high is likely number one, like like most recognizable, especially? Horvot is Chappelle in the top five. Yeah, for sure.

Um he was there. But I mean like, you know, obviously like he kind of lost his I I I would I'm not gonna do this same conversation I did six hours ago. I know I'm sorry. Bart, who did you have though?

Now I'm curious. I thought it would be Trump, Shaq. Jay-Z I think Charles Barkley is top 10. Larry David, Jon Stewart. Cardi B could be in there.

I was going to say, who are the women there other than Cardi B?

Now I think about it, I said Wemby's no higher than ninth. He might not be any higher than 12 or 13. I thought ten was his highest you could put him. Ben Stiller is above them. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean the thing that would make I mean you know like Wemby is just Yeah. Yeah. John Hamm. John Hamm, John McEnroe. Remember when Brian Windhorse flew out to his house at three in the morning to get a 10-second sound bite?

Was no. For Wemby? The night of the draft. Oh, yeah, yeah. Was that draft night or was that Pinkley?

Oh, the lottery? I think it was. Good question. I think, well, maybe it might have been the lottery. I don't know.

Drop it in the comments. I'm going to go. I love you both. This is very fun. Let's do it again.
