- Hey, welcome to
"Hook and Chatter."
The TFD sports podcast.
Episode eight.
- This podcast is brought
to you by Alohair,
The number two
of two Hawaiian-themed
waxing salons in Tacoma.
From eyebrows to low brows,
our deals are so good
you'd be macadamia nuts
not to come by.
[bell blares]
- Ha ha!
First topic, LeBron, Kobe,
Michael Jordan.
Who's the best of all time?
- None of those guys!
It's Dirk Nowitzki,
and I'll tell you guys why.
- Wait, what?
- Nowitzki?
You're crazy, man.
What are you talking about?
- I'm trying out a new persona.
The guy with the hot takes,
the contrarian?
- You sound crazy.
- How do podcasts make money?
- Computer, the--
- Ads.
How do you get ads?
- Having content that is--
- By getting subscribers.
How do you get subscribers?
- From TV.
- Contrarianism, hot takes.
You know, thinking outrageously
outside of the box.
- Bickering creates
a fun dynamic.
- Yeah, slamming people's
good too, right?
Especially if they
don't deserve it.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Hey, we should
all be hot take guys.
- That sounds great.
- Yeah!
- No, no, no.
- Ike.
- I'm just kidding, guys.
I'm being contrarian.
I'm being a hot take guy.
That's what you do, right?
- And we're back.
[horn blares]
- Nowitzki?
Are you crazy?
He's only got
one championship.
- It doesn't matter.
I believe he's the best,
and here is why.
First of all, he's German.
How do you get better
than Germans?
[mellow rock music]
- Are we really
buying a boat together?
- Yeah, you know it.
Look at this baby, huh?
- Mm, I've always wanted
a boat.
- I came up
with a great name for it.
The Hook, Line and Sphincter.
- Why is it always
dirty with you?
- What are you talking about?
The name is hysterical.
- Why don't we try something
like, uh, like Laurels
'cause that's what
we're resting on.
Our laurels.
The Laurel.
- Come on, Terry,
live a little.
Boat names are supposed
to be naughty puns, okay?
I got another one,
The Glory Hull.
- Ugh.
- Huh? Hmm?
- Gross.
- You don't know.
- How about
The Terry Cruise?
- You wanna name your boat
after an actor?
- What actor?
- Terry Crews.
- [sighs]
It's Tom Cruise, sweetie.
And it's a pun.
Terry cruise.
- Never mind.
- Ugh, you're so dumb.
- I think it should
be a fun pun.
Yacht-Sea.
Do you get it?
Yacht-Sea.
- Yeah. Yeah, no, we got it.
S-E-A, right.
- Um, Vicky.
- Yes.
- Eddie and I
are buying the boat.
- Mm-hmm.
- So that means Eddie and I
are gonna name the boat.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Is it your name on
the bank account or our name?
Because if we're both
going to buy the boat,
we both can name it, okay?
- Owned.
[laughs]
- All right, let's just
come up with a name
we can all agree on.
- I got another one.
Two firefighters on the ocean.
Let's call the boat Hot Sem--
[horn blares]
- Next up,
tonight's MMA heavyweight
title fight
just so happens to be
at our very own Tacoma Dome!
- Bah!
Champion Stipe Miocic
versus challenger
Bobby Ferapolis.
Stipe is considered
the greatest
heavyweight of our time.
How do you like his chances?
- I give him no chance.
I think he's gonna get KO'd
in round three.
I mean, he's clearly
lost his step,
and his footwork is a mess.
[cartoony sound effects]
- I'm gonna go one step
further here, fellas.
I say he gets knocked out
in round two.
- Oh!
[horn honks, crash]
- Guys, Stipe
is so predictable.
All he does is leg kick,
leg kick, leg kick, leg kick.
Maybe after he gets
knocked out,
he can get a job
with the Rockettes.
both: Oh!
[rimshot]
- I'll do you one better
and say
he gets knocked out
in round one
'cause he's over the hill.
- I bet I could
b*at him up too.
- I heard he's
a terrible father.
[sad trombone music]
- Yeah.
- Eddie, I don't wanna have to
register as a sexual predator
because of the name
of the boat.
- All your name ideas blow.
Fishy Business?
Come on, dude.
- How about we call it
Shrimp My Ride,
'cause you're such a shrimp?
- [snorts]
- I'd actually be okay
with that
because it would be a constant
reminder of the time
I crushed you in that shrimp
cocktail eating contest.
- What? You never b*at me
eating anything.
- I did b*at you, Terry,
right here in this very spot.
And I remember 'cause
it was the same day
you went on your first date
with Vicky.
- Oh, right.
- I don't think I've ever heard
the full story
about your first date.
- Sure you have.
Eddie set us up as a prank.
- No, I know that part,
but I've just heard
like bits and pieces.
- Well, Eddie thought we didn't
have anything in common,
but as usual,
Eddie was wrong.
He also forgot we almost went
on a few dates in high school.
- Ehh, I'm not so sure
about that, honey.
- No, I'm sure we did.
- Uh, no. Nope.
That didn't really happen.
- I'm positive.
- Oh, my God.
Your memory sucks, dude.
- I wanna hear the full story.
Come on.
- Okay. Okay.
I remember it like
it was yesterday.
It was before Jimmy Bleeder
opened Bleeder's Steakhouse.
He had another restaurant
called Pounders
where you order food
by the pound.
- Ugh.
- It was pretty good.
Well, that night
I got there early,
and I was looking
pretty sharp,
but I had some
major butterflies.
So I ordered a pound of onion
rings to settle my stomach.
And that's when I saw Vicky,
and she looked incredible.
- Of course,
she looked incredible.
She's a Penisi.
- It took her a while
to see me.
But when she did,
the sparks flew.
And I gotta tell you,
I made all the right moves.
I was suave.
I was charming.
I was sophisticated.
Everything was perfect,
including the cuisine.
[chuckles]
We had a great time,
except for the butterflies.
They got the best of me.
She ended up
taking care of me,
and that's when I knew
she was the one.
We went on six dates
in three weeks.
And the rest is history.
- That doesn't sound
like a prank at all.
Sounds like Uncle Eddie
k*lled it.
- Yeah, well, I'm glad you
believe in fairytales, Lucy,
but that's not
how it went down.
Let me tell you
what really happened.
- That was the best
podcast so far.
I bet you we double
our subscribers after this.
- Cha-chingo!
- It is out in the world.
- That fast?
- Oh, baby.
- Oh.
- Hi. I'm Rosa Roberts.
I work with Stipe Miocic,
the UFC fighter.
[laughter]
- Yeah, and I am the monster
from "Stranger Things," hi.
- And I'm the Masked Singer.
- Yeah, and I am
the professor--
Hall of famer Willie Mays.
- How can we help you?
- I handle PR for Stipe.
You may not know this,
but when he's not throwing down
in the ring,
he's a firefighter.
And when he travels, he likes
to visit local fire stations.
He's outside in the car.
[laughter]
- Okay.
- Okay, who put you up to this?
Was it Jiménez?
- Classic Jiménez.
- Yeah, I'm sure he's still
mad at us
about those m*rder hornets.
[laughter]
- Hey-yo!
- Holy sh*t.
- What's up Station 24?
- Stipe.
- Granny.
- Stipe.
- Kaponko Myawani.
You can call me Andy.
- Stipe.
- Stipe.
- Ha, that's cute.
And you are Stipe too?
- Yeah--no.
Well--
- Anyway, you guys--
beautiful station.
- Stipe, look,
they have a podcast.
"Hook and Chatter."
I love it.
We've got approximately
if you want Stipe
to do a drop.
- Nah.
- That's not necessary.
- Ugh. I love podcasts.
I have my own.
It's called
"Stipe or Not Stipe."
Kinda like Shakespeare.
[forced laughter]
So what do you guys
talk about?
- Nothing.
- Sports.
- Ah! Sports!
Dude, let's do it.
I'm an athlete. Perfect.
- No, don't worry about it.
- Yeah, you don't wanna
waste your time.
- Stipe has millions
of followers.
It'll boost
your podcast instantly.
- Still, no thanks.
- Do you not know
how podcasts make money?
- Is it from subscribers
and subscribers
or is it because
of contrarianism?
- Seriously,
I would love to do it.
- Let's take some pics,
record the podcast,
and get going.
- Awesome.
- Okay, cool.
- We gotta delete the podcast.
- I know.
- Lucy, the Penisis
are legendary pranksters.
Vicky and I have been
going head to head
since we were kids.
- You remember that time
I made you believe
you were gonna be
on the "Wheel of Fortune?
[laughter]
- I was 12.
- Oh, what an idiot.
- But anyway,
with this prank,
I came up with the prank
to end all pranks.
I was gonna set Vicky up with
the biggest buffoon I knew,
Terrence Leslie McConky.
And he was perfect.
I told him I wanted
to hook him up with my sister,
and he was so excited.
So excited he even touched
my hair, which is a no-no.
And that's when part two
of my plan came into play.
So the day of a date,
I challenged Terry
to a shrimp
cocktail-eating contest
knowing that a gut full
of shrimp would make him
even more unappealing
than he already was.
- No, hold on.
That did not happen.
- Oh, yes, it did.
- So Vicky got
to the restaurant,
and she was looking around
for the guy
she thought
I was setting her up with.
And when she saw Terry,
she looked like she ate a bug.
- Hold on.
How do you know
how she looked?
- I was there.
- Bullshit.
- I was.
And I was looking real good,
with the clothes,
the mustache,
the drink, the hair,
but none of that mattered,
'cause once that
shrimp cocktail kicked in,
all hell broke loose.
[screaming]
- I did not puke.
- Yes, you did.
Vicky, back me up.
- Yeah, you puked.
- Ba-boom!
- All right,
maybe I got a little bit sick,
but Eddie was not there
and I did not lose
a shrimp-eating contest.
- I don't understand.
Why would you do that
to your friend?
- We weren't friends.
- What did you say?
- We weren't friends.
- [gasps]
- And this is
our briefing room.
- Looks just like
my briefing room.
This is where your chief
stands and says,
"Do I make myself clear?"
- That's it.
- I love it. Exactly.
- That's exactly
how he does it every time.
- Should we follow you,
Granny?
- No, I'm just going
to the bathroom.
- Perfect, it's a good time
for Stipe to go too.
- Ooh, good idea.
- Then we'll do the podcast
and get going.
- To the bathroom.
Hey, when we leave...
- You guys gotta delete this.
- But I don't know
how to do that.
- I don't know how
to do it either.
- Yo, Granny, come on,
nature calls.
Whoo-yeah!
[laughter]
- Went to our first Mariners
game together in seventh grade.
- It was a school field trip.
There were like 200 kids there.
- You were the best man
at my wedding.
- Family obligation.
Vicky kinda made me.
- Oh, come on Uncle Eddie.
I've heard plenty of stories
of you guys,
and they all sound like
the premise of a buddy film.
- Name one.
- "Bad Boys,"
"Beverly Hills Cop,"
"Lethal w*apon."
- You're not dumb, are you?
You're joking, right?
- He saved your life.
- And I lost a nut doing it.
- Yes, and while I feel
your pain there,
that still didn't
make us friends.
- Okay, fine. We're not buying
a boat together.
- Fine.
- Fine.
- Fine.
- Fine.
- Hey, just got to clear
some space for memory.
- Better, man.
I could talk all day.
- Yeah, Stipe uses up
mad gigabytes.
- Friends call me "Mr. Gigs."
- Oh.
- For all the mad gigabytes
I use.
[computer chimes]
- There it is.
What needed to be deleted
is deleted.
- So you cleared up the memory?
- I did.
- All the memories
have been deleted.
- We are good.
- Yeah.
- Wow, man, you guys are
serious about your drive space.
- Yeah.
- All right, let's do this!
[all vocalizing]
All right,
ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to another episode
of the "Hook and Chatter."
- Brought to you by Alohair.
- Tonight, we have a very
special guest for you.
You may know him
as a UFC heavyweight champion,
but we know him
as a firefighter.
- And I know you guys
as my brothers.
- Thanks, man.
- Man.
- Give it up for Stipe Miocic.
- Hey now!
[crowd cheers]
- So Stipe, you are in Tacoma
for your big fight tonight.
Are you ready for it?
- So ready.
- I just wanna jump in here
and say
I think you're a great dad.
I mean, some people
might say otherwise,
I don't know
why they would do that.
I would never personally
say something like that.
But just so we're
clear on that.
You ready for the fight?
- Hell, yeah, I am.
Hey, listen,
I'm hanging with
my new best friends.
- Oh, hey!
[crowd cheers, horn blares]
He's talking about us.
- Hey.
[laughter]
- You are unreal, man!
- Oh, gosh.
- All right, guys, hey,
I gonna get going,
but I wanna hear
your predictions for tonight.
- Oh, well,
you're definitely gonna win.
KO in the third round.
- I'll go one step further
and say you'll put him to sleep
in round two, champ.
- Excuse me.
Hot take, round one.
- I love it. I love it.
- Thank you, Stipe.
Good luck tonight on the fight,
and thank you out there
for listening to another
episode of "Hook and Chatter."
[siren blares, bell rings]
- Thanks so much.
- Ah, man, you were great.
- That was so fun.
Hey, brothers, I'd go into
a fire with you anytime.
- Come here, man.
- Buddy.
- Oh, man.
- Man! Ah!
- Granny, Andy, Little Stipe,
parting is such sweet sorrow.
[grunts]
- Ah.
[gentle music]
- All right.
- Yeah.
- Cool.
- I love you guys.
- Hey, go get him, champ!
- For a guy who punches people
in the face for a living,
he's a really,
really nice guy.
- Right? Nice.
- I know.
I feel so guilty for everything
we said about him.
- Right.
- Stipe taught me
something today,
and now I'm a better person.
- He has that effect
on all of us.
Son of a bitch.
- Come here.
[sobbing]
- I love you guys.
- I love you guys.
I was really scared.
[all sobbing]
I was really nervous.
[all sobbing]
- Okay, you're not
Lucy's godfather anymore.
- Oh, really?
- And you're not her uncle.
- Hold on.
- Well, Terry, you can't
really declare that.
- I can and I did.
- Okay. Knock it off.
- But he said
we're not friends.
- He's just trying
to push your buttons.
Now, both of you have a seat,
and I am going to tell
the story
of what really happened.
- We should take the rest
of the shift off
and actually go to the fight.
And hang out
with him afterwards.
- Dude's been training
for months.
He's probably ready to party.
- Hey, we should offer to pay
the change fee for his flight
and take him out
to the engine house
for like beer wings
and shuffleboard and stuff.
- A whole night on the town.
- Yeah, he'd probably love it.
- It's Stipe.
- No way.
- Ha-ha, dude!
- Hey man,
you're on speakerphone.
How are you doing?
- What's up, man?
We're all here, my brother.
- I just wanna let you know
that Rosa downloaded
your last podcast for me
while we were taking pictures.
My left is slow?
- What?
- My footwork sucks?
I should join the Rockettes?
- No, no, no, no.
- I'm a terrible father?
- That was a hot take.
- I've got a hot take.
You're f*cking dead!
I'm coming back
to kick your asses!
- Put it away.
Put it away.
- I told you a podcast
was a bad idea.
- Just wait,
I can't think straight.
Is that a hot take?
- I should have
seen it coming.
Eddie said he set me up
with the hottest probie at 24,
Dak Blunt.
- Did I say hottest?
I meant sweatiest.
- You thought
Dak Blunt was hot?
- But I did marry him.
Settle down.
I wasn't a fan of Pounders,
but I went,
and when I walked in,
the first thing I saw
was Eddie's friend.
- He wasn't my friend.
- Okay, yeah, we get it.
Anyway, the guy was finishing
off a pound of onion rings,
and ehh, I didn't wanna
make it weird,
so I avoided eye contact
while I looked for my date.
But then I saw Eddie.
He was behind a plant.
And you had
that stupid mullet.
- If by mullet you mean
my sweet ass pompadour,
then yeah,
it was a mullet.
- And I realized
I'd been duped.
- Cap! Cap! Cap! Cap!
- So sorry to interrupt--
- Can we have the rest
of the day off?
Just the rest of the day off?
- Hey, you know better.
You're in the middle of
a shift, go roll some hoses.
- Ah!
This way, this way.
- Anyway...
I knew that Eddie thought
he had pulled off
this epic prank.
So decided to enjoy myself.
- [mouthing words]
- And then your father puked.
- You didn't enjoy
our first date?
- No, Terry, you puked up
like a hundred shrimp
and a pound of onion rings.
- How could you even
eat onion rings
after you
ate all that shrimp?
- What do you eat
to settle your stomach?
- I don't.
- How do you not remember
the shrimp-eating contest?
- Oh, you know what?
I do you remember it now.
I won.
[chuckles]
- [grumbles]
- I also realized
that the only way
to get back at Eddie
was to go on a second date,
and a third, fourth,
fifth, sixth, whatever it took
to ruin the prank.
- Hold on.
How far did this go?
Was I born as a result of you
trying to ruin Eddie's prank?
- No, I ended up enjoying
myself on the second date.
And after the third date,
it wasn't about Eddie anymore.
I was looking forward to
spending time with your father.
I thought he was
sweet and funny.
- So would you say it was
a love-after-the-third-date
kind of thing?
- I thought it was love
after the sixth date.
- Wait, was that
the first night we--
[chuckles]
- Oh, God.
- Stop it.
- Yes. Yes, it was.
That was the night
I found out
what a phenomenal
and generous lover Terry was.
- Oh, Mom, so gross.
- Disgusting.
- Guess what.
He still is.
- Oh. Oh, God.
- Ugh.
- Hm.
- [chuckles]
[both vocalizing]
[gentle music]
- Do you think the three
of us could take him together?
- There's only one way
to find out,
but I don't wanna find out.
- Should one of us look
to see if he's here?
- No way.
- "Rock Paper Scissors."
- Okay, okay, okay.
- One, two, three, sh**t.
- Hey boys.
[both screaming]
- Oh, God!
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- Dude, it's all just one
big misunderstanding, okay?
- You broke my heart!
- We didn't mean any of it.
We were just being contrarian.
- It's time for night-night!
[all screaming]
- Seems like the joke is really
on you, Uncle Eddie.
You set them up
and all these years later,
they're still in love.
- Yeah, you're welcome.
You wouldn't exist without me.
- I think it's safe to say
Eddie's prank backfired on him.
- Still better than anything
you ever pulled.
- Is that what you think?
- Yeah.
- Luce, Let me tell you
about another one.
A few years later,
I had a Swedish hairstylist.
She was great at hair,
but she was a horrible person.
She was here on a work visa,
and she wanted to trap a man
and marry him,
so she could get a green card.
- You didn't.
- I did.
I knew you couldn't pass up
on a tall, blonde,
beautiful Swedish woman.
So I set you up.
And then what happened?
- I married her.
- You married her.
- Aunt Ulsa?
She's the reason
I love lutefisk.
- Me too.
- And after she got
the green card,
what happened?
- She divorced me
and took half my money.
- [laughs]
- She was a great hairdresser.
And that was a great prank.
[laughs]
Oh, my God.
- Holy sh*t.
- Oh, oh, oh, and while
you two were bickering
over whether or not you were
friends, I bought the boat.
With my money.
You're welcome to join
me on the Yeah Buoy
anytime you want.
- Oh, no, you didn't.
[laughs]
- It's a good name.
- Not the hair.
- B-U-O-Y.
- Love you, Mom.
- Bye, babe.
- Wow.
But still,
the burning question remains.
Who can really eat
the most shrimp?
- Mm.
Ahh.
[chuckles]
- Oh, you don't look
so good, Terry.
- I feel great.
- You gonna quit?
'Cause I'm not.
- I like my shrimp extra veiny.
- So do I.
That's where
the taste comes from, bitch.
- Stipe Miocic is pounding
Bobby Ferapolis
with his left hook.
You can tell he got
some extra practice--
- Are you guys ever gonna
tell me what happened?
- [groans]
I told you, Luce,
he b*at us up.
- You're sticking
with the story
that the UFC heavyweight
champion came here
and kicked your ass?
- Yeah.
- If you say so.
- He's got a fire
in his eyes.
- Man, he's got
shitty footwork.
- Don't say that.
- Mm.
They keep getting better.
You okay?
Do you wanna stop?
- [groans softly]
- Oh.
- Oh, God.
- Oh, yes!
Yes!
[chuckles]
I will never let you forget
this, Terry McConky.
Never!
