3:21
Lamar he knows nothing puffins. Yeah, I have to dare.
3:26
I got it. Well I just have to own it
3:28
right. Like I feel like I probably
3:32
watched more college basketball this year than all of you
3:34
combined. And my bracket was literally set
3:40
Ablaze. I think two weeks ago and it
3:44
just was and ended with rest in peace this past weekend.
3:47
So yeah. I know nothing with the
3:53
happenings or Miss happenings of basketball like in might as well
3:59
just be done. Like not.
4:03
We've all lost track at this point.
4:05
Oh man, it's just wild last but not least.
4:10
So vicious, welcome, welcome sir.
4:12
How are you tonight? I am, I am feeling much better
4:15
and I was a week ago. I applied I truly apologize.
4:20
Farley. You, but trust me, you needed me
4:22
to depart also want to say, happy birthday to the governor.
4:27
I did not realize that you share the same part that is my
4:29
youngest brother. So, that's okay.
4:32
Yeah. But when you, but now I get it,
4:34
you guys have the same demeanor, you know.
4:36
I guess he's a lot like you. The governor.
4:45
And I are proof. That Harry's are not all the
4:47
same. Some of us are wired different.
4:53
Yes, we have a lot of similarities but I can tell you
4:57
this there's a huge difference between a more cherries and in
4:59
April area mmm-hmm yes uh might my daughter's coming up on the
5:05
10th of April so I'll say that is crazy because MJ's birthday
5:09
as a tenth of April as well. What what absolutely that do
5:14
will be 21 years old? Holy cow.
5:18
Yeah, it's wild. Wow.
5:21
Why LOL? Wow.
5:24
Man, we haven't even gotten to the track stuff yet, that's
5:27
crazy. Oh wow, it already.
5:32
All right, well as we usually do per the usual, let's just go
5:36
headfirst into track is back because sheesh-uh-roo-roo mean
5:40
what one, two three of us were there to witness that Madness
5:45
that they called Texas. Relays this past weekend, which
5:49
I still feel like I'm recovering from, by the way.
5:51
But it's a the governor and I discussed I said earlier, we are
5:55
still in recovery mode as well. Absolutely.
5:57
Oh my God I mean I'm definitely a little more vibrant at this
6:00
point but I don't know what day it is.
6:04
We'll see in the problem I have is like I'm like today's the
6:07
best I've felt for the Relay starts in like 12 hours.
6:14
I will I'll probably I'll do my best not to have to check out
6:18
next week, right? Well I mean I all open.
6:24
The doors out for Texas, relays, but I mean, where do you even
6:28
start about what happened? I'll throw out a, where do you
6:35
start? Listen, a relay season as I call
6:40
it other people call it a bunch of different things.
6:43
Regular-season meets in the NCAA world, You know, they're fun,
6:48
they're entertaining, you got the whole country picking and
6:52
choosing their spots to get it in as magnificent as Texas.
6:56
Relays does Raleigh relays on the distance side spectacular,
7:01
Right for Me overall Texas relays was about the Texas women
7:07
like they threw down markers all over the place and it was really
7:13
impressive to see they clearly wanted to make a statement
7:17
Statement and went out there and did just that so, you know,
7:22
props to the Texas women, they were phenomenal across the
7:26
board. So every Texas relays that I've
7:36
been to and we're talking from 1991.
7:45
There has something has happened.
7:48
Something seismic has happened, something that, you know, it's
7:56
all at the same time as head, scratching its mind-blowing, and
8:01
then reality sets in and you're like, wait a minute, we haven't
8:07
even gotten through March yet X, right?
8:11
And that's the part that We saw multiple times this weekend,
8:19
like okay, do we not have to get through till June?
8:23
Like do we not have to sustain until June?
8:28
And yeah, I mean, I'm looking at these numbers and I'm like,
8:34
okay, we saw a 990, he saw 1082, we saw a 1083, we saw 2169.
8:43
That was a pro. I was a pro. 12:33 1249 in the
8:49
hurdles like what 12:33 and 1234?
8:53
Yeah, yeah 12:45. Yeah.
8:57
So there's a lot of running. Are you insane?
8:59
I mean, you say nothing like Gabby Thomas was super
9:03
impressive for me. Yeah, I still think you can
9:06
tell. She's trying to clean up some
9:08
things and she's working really hard at it but I don't care what
9:13
the wind is 1092 and 2169. On the same day is spectacular,
9:18
the hell of an and what they are.
9:20
And what's your training Partners name?
9:22
Little girl from Alabama. Yeah, she's 1096 172 right
9:32
there. I will, I will call boulder dash
9:37
on. Anybody says they saw that
9:38
coming? Well you know what?
9:42
You know what was really impressive about tomorrow,
9:44
Clark? It's not like she can't beat
9:47
Gabby. She hasn't learned how to win
9:49
those races at that level yet but it was really impressive to
9:54
watch her B's like right there. Right there at that.
9:58
Time of year with that double. Yeah.
10:00
So Tanja obviously has a lot going on down in Austin.
10:04
Mmm, good. He get done.
10:09
Get it done. No, I too was.
10:11
No very impressed with the Texas women but the am women were
10:16
present as well. Miss Destin it.
10:18
Would she come 64? Yeah.
10:21
Then they pay their rent. They also rent 322, right?
10:24
Yeah. And then they they they broke
10:27
we'd record in the in the Sprint medley but nobody's talking
10:29
about it because everybody's talking about Texas because was
10:31
textiles at home on the home track but and in one that race
10:35
and they basically directed their own Collegiate record at
10:38
that. Yeah, so I just need people to
10:43
understand. You just need to understand.
10:53
Like if she wasn't on their Sprint medley.
10:58
No. Oh, you was right.
11:00
Wasn't it wasn't. That's right.
11:02
That's right. That was that was a race with
11:04
them and someone at on LSU's track.
11:08
When the little bitty one was on the end up on the anchor line
11:11
together. Okay.
11:12
Wow, wow, wow. So speak.
11:15
Speaking of markers this stood out, to me from Texas, if
11:20
anybody was didn't know that, that Carmelita was going to be
11:25
an issue, I did not call this a while back.
11:34
It's a whole ass issue now. So mean, I mean, right?
11:39
Endure endure, ncaa's was not a fluke folks.
11:41
Pay attention, right? True.
11:43
And here's the thing with indoor, ncaa's enduring into the
11:46
blaze was about the men and a lot of those dudes were, you
11:49
know, transfers and all of that. So he didn't get the respect it
11:53
deserved right for Solera Barnes another transfer to step out
11:58
1082. Hmm, I mean, it was slightly
12:02
windy or whatever. The hell I don't care, like just
12:05
barely well, you know what? No, no, it was big.
12:07
One was like three points on that.
12:09
Will the legal right, there you go.
12:15
That's the run you talk about, right?
12:17
But but Samara Moody is a freshman who also ran 1108 So
12:25
jet threw down a little marker of her own out there in Texas.
12:29
And those those ladies are, you know, they look incredible.
12:33
They, I've never seen Solera Barnes look like that.
12:38
Right? Well, because she had me, you
12:40
never seen it because she hasn't, yes.
12:43
I mean, like, it's okay. Look, I'm gonna call her baby
12:47
baby JS because she comes all of his pupils.
12:53
She not only coaches, like she just has his demeanor in the
12:56
warm-up area, the whole deal. Like she is locked in.
13:00
Yeah, and they are locked it like from the warm up to the
13:04
walk, to the, to the, to the clerk.
13:06
Yeah, she is. Yes to the T and it's you know
13:10
it's masterful to watch she did a phenomenal job and you know I
13:15
was talking to our boy dat other day and people get to recognize
13:18
when they get healthy therefore by 1 mins the problem too.
13:21
Is that three guys in 60 final? Yeah, right.
13:24
So people to show up and run. It's funny.
13:27
I bumped into Quincy. I was sitting in the stands and
13:33
I turned to him. I said you realize that 30 years
13:35
ago In that Stadium over there, you did some incredible,
13:42
incredible things, you know that, right?
13:44
And you look to me is like yeah I did that because he did
13:51
because he did but you know as going back to the Stu what's her
13:56
Lucius was talking about watching Carmelita and warmer
14:00
Perry. I got a chance to watch her, you
14:03
know, down in the cuz was it Is it me or did Florida and USC?
14:09
Basically, use that strip on the yeah.
14:13
It's raining there. Early.
14:14
You ain't get you. No, no, no.
14:34
We got it. Definitely locked in.
15:00
So look the Texas, relays were spectacular as usual and we're
15:06
going to talk about lots of other things that happened this
15:08
past weekend. But I just want to say this for
15:09
the record the most impressive thing that happened this
15:13
weekend. Nobody has talked about nobody
15:15
is talking about and it happened basically report exit relays
15:19
barely got started. And a hall opening up her
15:23
Collegiate, season Outdoors at 6400 plus and listen to me
15:29
carefully, as I say this slowly, so you can hear me running 2004
15:38
in the 800 of a heptathlon was flat-out, ridiculous, more
15:49
ridiculous than all the like. Like before noon craziness, that
15:52
happen with the 38 in the middles and the 42 in the
15:55
middles and the 990s, all those things were amazing.
16:00
But to open your outdoor season at 6400 points with a really
16:06
subpar Javelin, a subpar high jump for her and then just let
16:12
me drop this to a four on you. Because coach said, I should
16:16
what in the name of Beelzebub, is that?
16:22
Yeah. Let's call this.
16:27
What it is. Anna Hall is a generational
16:30
Talent. She's the Unicorn you guys talk
16:32
about and look, I will be the first to tell you.
16:36
I'm blessed, I've had my share of unicorns and I hope I keep
16:39
getting right, but like with Anna.
16:44
Wait, there's a lot more there. So we had this stupid cross
16:48
Royal winning in the 200 that you wish you were in the first
16:51
hundred into a headwind. Basically, you know, the hell.
16:54
What are the 2323 High because she's much better shape than
16:57
that. She's on her way to 13 lower the
17:00
hurdles and just kind of lost her Rhythm.
17:01
Like you said, the javelin was very non what she's capable of
17:06
and we know the high jump is better.
17:07
So the her students incredible we just got to keep pushing her
17:10
to those things. But I too was, you know, I was
17:15
traveling. You know, I wasn't there.
17:17
The first day I was traveling at the second day, we got delayed.
17:19
So, as I get off the plane, I open up my phone and I see,
17:24
These marks was like oh my God and you know so we were all
17:27
sitting on the you know we're actually walking down the
17:29
tarmac, you know I felt walking down the whatever off the plane
17:33
watching. The splits come up for the 800
17:35
like well what's she going to run it?
17:36
You know. So guys we got to talk to her
17:38
right before she went to the line as I was at my after the
17:40
plane landed toe, you know, she went a little bit harder than I
17:44
thought I needed her to but she went to a horse.
17:46
I shut my mouth so so for those Who may not be fans or truly
17:53
follow the heptathlon. As we have our Specialists that,
17:58
do put to put, Anna Halls 800 in full context at the end of a
18:03
multi competition. The number one 800-meter runner
18:07
in the u.s. right now for NCAA is and a hall at 2:04.
18:17
I don't really, I don't really know.
18:19
I feel like that's unfair. Somehow, but it is true.
18:22
She is number one on the list. I just, I just, I need people to
18:27
understand something that is the equivalent of running 2004 after
18:32
two days work in practice because from step one, there's
18:36
not another human being running. At the rate you're running.
18:40
If you run 2004 and a half, literally the gun goes off and
18:44
everybody goes, they line up behind you like Let Her Go.
18:47
Nobody messing with that. Right.
18:50
And so like look folks, there are people.
18:55
We never talk about, right? We never talk about Jackie.
19:00
You know what I mean? Like what nobody's going to do
19:02
Jackie things. There are a few of those people
19:05
in our Sport and I I'm going to say this, I'm not going to say
19:09
she's going to break, Jackie's records.
19:12
But I need everybody to understand that she may have the
19:16
talent to do so one day, because there isn't anything, she can't
19:21
do. She's, she's not really
19:25
approaching her ceiling in anything, including the eight,
19:29
you know, seek his Heaven. Help the world of somebody else
19:32
decides that they're going to run 2005 or 2006 and try to run
19:36
with her, right, right. Because then she had like, it's
19:39
easier than right. Somebody else is with you.
19:43
So I look, she's, I just need everybody to enjoy it.
19:47
You know, like we all got to watch Grant when she when he was
19:49
in college, right? It's like enjoy watching this
19:51
for free because you won't get to see this for free very long.
19:55
Yeah, Anna ceiling is and there is none, and I am not sure that.
20:04
If she changed for the 800 everyday, she wouldn't be the
20:06
internship. That time that she is well and
20:10
she just, she just, you know, so we've got some pretty good
20:13
quarter models on this campus, and when they decide to get
20:17
after each other in practice, it's a sight to be seen, you
20:20
know, and she's just right there with him and sometimes he takes
20:22
him to the cleaners. You know, she's very special and
20:29
we're taking it personal to make sure that she gets to where
20:34
she's supposed to be because you know I'll say it there were a
20:37
lot of naysayers out there said shit ever came here.
20:42
Touche, that's all I'm going to say.
20:44
Yeah, to shame on, man. Yeah, and you know, the the EP
20:49
mentioned the craziness of with the for by one's right, like
20:52
takes it out of Texas, didn't run as fast in the file, but
20:55
those young lady rain, 40 to 42 at 9:30 in the morning.
20:59
Yes, yeah. And I we're hearing from, you
21:02
know? Yeah.
21:03
Like it was more know, Yes.
22:01
oh wait, one more point of note for me from the Texas relays,
22:05
the best video I saw from the Texas relays is not on the
22:11
track. It was in stance and shout out
22:14
to my boy Gabe Sanders at Boston University, young man freshman
22:20
from, I believe of Great Britain.
22:22
I will not even attempt to pronounce his name because I
22:24
don't want to be able to do it. Toby Toby, Toby Toby.
22:30
Super windy, I don't care. You've never seen somebody from
22:35
that school, run that fast. Okay, so huge win, huge win over
22:42
a quality field and setting down his own marker.
22:46
He's not scared of. Anybody knows how to run gave is
22:49
doing a great job with that kid. And I think, you know, by the
22:53
end of the season, he's going to make some, Make Some Noise piss
22:55
off. A lot of people in the east
22:56
region. And then once you get to the
22:59
show, you, let's see. That's why, is he going to piss
23:00
off? A lot of people need species.
23:02
Only gets one spot. Because no one saw him coming.
23:05
Very few know I love as I knew he was there.
23:09
Yeah, but you're a you know what I'm gonna do?
23:13
What I do. And like, I'm very impressed.
23:16
We're not scared. We'll see when we sing.
23:19
I mean, no one, but no one I've had some of these same
23:26
conversation with other people, you know, like what are you
23:29
gonna do about that? Well, I mean, I'm not--that's
23:31
not football. Can't like past them.
23:33
More when I'm supposed to run it, stop basketball.
23:35
I can't go to the food court office.
23:36
I'm going to put my people to track them.
23:38
Run 99, somebody So I know that we shot out the
24:35
game, shoutout to Toby, you know, like they got it done.
24:40
No. But like, but what about the
24:42
videos are credible of gay but they are legal.
24:49
Oh my God, he's like, you know, like we're like we're sitting
24:53
there and he runs in an effortless and the clock stopped
24:57
and were like, that can't be right, it was right.
25:01
It just looks really, Yeah, that's I turn somebody go.
25:04
You won't see him tomorrow. I don't know who the who's
25:09
coaching there, but whoever it is is not just him.
25:13
They got other kids are running. Well yeah, very well.
25:16
Anyway, speaking of speaking to speak coaching David Oliver is
25:20
coaching his 4x4 for box for 11:25.
25:28
Yes, yes, Is culture. So had the opportunity to spend
25:35
about, you know, we talked a lot this weekend, but we spent about
25:38
15 minutes talking about the attitude athletes and you can
25:46
see the hair on the back of his neck, rise up.
25:49
And then you knew why, who? Why?
25:50
He was, who he was as an athlete.
25:52
You know, that was, that was my one of my favorite moments.
25:56
You know, I got to spend some time with some of my favorite
25:58
people chew and the governor included this past weekend but
26:01
that 50-minute periods. Read with him.
26:03
Like I walked out. I was ready to go.
26:04
Look, he was fired that you wanted it and you got the right
26:16
people in place. Yeah, it gets exciting.
26:18
It gets fun. Howard girls are living a
26:22
rowlandson's endure yeah and they will definitely ship away
26:29
at some people in the east region as well.
26:36
Yes, they will. Can we can we talk about 1233
26:38
though? Can we talk about 2033 from
26:41
this? Well, I mean, I think that, you
26:43
know, as a hurdle coaching somebody than to loves the
26:48
event. I mean, the to 33 and 34 were
26:51
both masterful. I mean, they're not as easy as
26:54
people think because of the wind, especially in Armstrong's
26:57
case, because she's much bigger than kidding, right?
27:01
So, she's getting blown in, To the things.
27:03
And if you watched thing, Armstrong's feet were
27:04
incredible. Yeah, I'm talking about, you
27:06
know, making a statement like, hey, yeah, I fall started
27:09
indoors, but guess what you ain't in doors anymore, you
27:12
know, because I knew she was going to run fast because if you
27:15
go back and watch the corners, human 1290 something in the
27:18
preliminary and she was not like, you just, you just chop it
27:23
down, the track, you know? And Kenny for the most
27:26
impressive thing, he did was not the 1233.
27:30
It was she when 22 low in the 20s across a 22 low at 140.
27:37
She'd right there with yes well yeah so for me the world record
27:44
holder we all understand how phenomenal can you?
27:48
Kenny and Alia Armstrong could not be built differently as
27:51
athletes. So the last time, Dennis shaver
27:57
in the LSU program had somebody Built This Way rolling like that
28:01
was Jasmine Stowers. And it was when she was a pro,
28:04
but if you remember years ago, jasmine flowers, came out, early
28:08
season and dropped 12. Threes and look like, look, like
28:12
the world record was just on notice and she lost that rhythm.
28:17
Later in the year and it started turned into a lot of crashes.
28:21
If Miss Armstrong can State, you know, keep her Rhythm and stay
28:25
tight. When the race is on, it's going
28:29
to be really, really exciting across the board because the
28:32
other hurdlers in the NCAA, who can challenge her, Miss Stark
28:36
being the primary candidate. They're built very different.
28:40
They race very different, they do things differently and it's
28:43
going to be really exciting to see when everybody lines up, How
28:46
It, ultimately plays out. But, and that was a smooth as a
28:50
woman's hurdle race. Can be any gets it done with a
28:53
lot of power and force. She's a small person Armstrong
28:57
has to stay small and get away from the hurdles and hold
29:00
herself together and it was beautiful watch masterful.
29:05
It was it was natural and that was one of those like you just
29:08
you got tired of hobby. Like this is going to be fast.
29:11
Yeah, I wonder I here's what I wonder.
29:15
How does this affect recruiting? What are you telling with nona
29:23
high school that has dreams and aspirations?
29:27
Even going to know them. It's like, like my thing is,
29:31
this is like, you know, I get asked that question a lot.
29:34
And I'm like, you know, it doesn't affect recruiting at
29:36
all, you know, like, okay, you you sit in the living room and
29:40
you your honest with what you think they can do, right?
29:43
Because they all sound asleep. Everybody can't do that.
29:46
When I'm not gonna walk into every hurdlers home, I go into.
29:49
So you could break the Collegiate record.
29:50
No, but like you go in there, you just use sell your program
29:56
and you shall what you can do, you know?
29:58
Because you know because by the time most of these kids get to
30:01
college and greater gone. So doesn't matter.
30:05
You know what you would hope it would do in recruiting
30:08
Governor's give recruits and parents and High School coaches
30:11
perspective. Yes.
30:13
Because 12:3 is fast 14-3. Not so much great but they think
30:20
they deserve the same money. There you go.
30:22
The issue is unique. Then you got to go back to and
30:26
you got to look at. I don't know what Alia read in
30:28
high school but you gotta you gotta look at that that whole
30:31
deal to and you know, and then this is not the first time
30:35
Benes, Shavers had a great order and won't be the last.
30:40
So we can't ignore the distance people.
30:44
Like, real a season, has nothing to do with distance Runners
30:48
Outdoors, but why all the sprinters are out there, picking
30:51
the relay meets and kicking the, you know, the races, the
30:54
distance Runners doing the same thing and Raleigh real.
30:59
A he's just like, it's crazy. So we have Riley relays this
31:03
past weekend. I'm just looking at, I've got
31:06
the list in front of me. Okay, men's 5K, 1 through 10,
31:10
nine of those came out of Raleigh, relays women's 5K K 1
31:14
through 10 Riley, relays 10K, men, 1 through 10, 10K, women 1
31:19
through 10 and now Stanford's up next a on deck this week, and
31:24
then two weeks after that, it's an interesting part of the
31:32
regular season, for NCAA, track and field.
31:34
And I know it's not, I know, it's not fair, because everybody
31:38
can't afford to go shop for the for these races, right?
31:41
But that's why regionals existing, it's awesome.
31:43
But During the regular season. Like it's really fun, whatever
31:47
your Niche is, whatever. You're a fan of, you know, where
31:50
the hot races are going to be week to week and you just sit
31:54
back and enjoying because my God, it's crazy.
31:59
All these people were in 28 minutes in the 10K.
32:03
All of them. Yeah, I think I think we saw
32:07
this train indoors and it's going to continue Outdoors.
32:12
Now I'm waiting for the EP to call me and tell me that it's
32:17
going to take 10 10:25 to be in the top 40, 80 in the East
32:20
Indies, resource of great. You ready to go?
32:24
And I mean, like, what we'll talk about, not ignoring things,
32:26
we can ignore the filaments detectives like 20 21 was
32:31
seventh in the long term. Stupid.
32:35
Yes. Yeah.
32:38
Wait, wait. Same result, mr.
33:09
Edwards is the first time I've seen him first time, you know,
33:19
and he's a problem. If, when he learns to hold it
33:22
Rhythm, he's a problem. Because he is the one guy that
33:28
can challenge Trey in my opinion because he is almost as fast as
33:32
trick. Almost speaking of Florida,
33:37
State mr. Bowling goes out and runs 1003
33:41
legal. New PB, okay?
33:44
Right. That that's the story to me and
33:49
listen. Governor, I heard just thrown
33:52
alley-oops. Hey, man, listen, I like Matthew
33:58
bowling, I'm a fan of Matthew bowling.
34:00
He's doing a hell of his job this season and props on the new
34:04
PV, this isn't about Matthew Boulton.
34:06
This is about his following, just be clear people.
34:12
His PB is now 1003, which means we are for three years removed.
34:18
He still ain't rants up 10. So Stop saying it, it never
34:23
happened. It's not a thing.
34:28
Don't put it back on. SportsCenter, matter of fact,
34:30
John Anderson make sure that that news never goes on
34:33
SportsCenter, boys. PB is 1000 three is number one
34:38
in the nation props to him but he is still not a set up tents
34:41
printer. Stop saying that may, I say
34:44
something EP would you like to say it for me?
34:49
No no please go, right. Ahead out the 1003, a fast.
34:54
Oh, that's cool. I'm with all of that, but that's
34:58
his PR. And I'm not Darryl Anderson,
35:04
sir, like I'm not. So before you, people started to
35:09
speak, to me an email that I'm not hating or Matthew bowling
35:13
because whoever you are that wants to text me, you could run
35:16
to no.3 and I tell you to Note 3, right?
35:20
So happy for Matthew. I'm happy for, you know, coach
35:23
Carroll and and her gang great run by Matthew.
35:26
But like almost say this again, I've been saying it for years.
35:29
If y'all will get off that man and let him grow in this sport,
35:33
he may be something special. Stop putting pressure on that
35:36
guy. Let's let him be a college
35:39
athlete and grow into who he is. But now the soon as he runs 10
35:42
or 30, he's gonna be the next Olympic champion 1003.
35:46
You can't make the USA Farm Bro, I had a 20-minute conversation
35:52
with a man. I will not name her buddies
35:55
buddies from Texas. Oh Jesus.
35:58
He tried to explain to me that he didn't understand why
36:03
everybody's saying it's a new PB because it is oh gosh because
36:08
that is his best time ever. This dress is best when we can
36:15
we, can we somebody somebody who has run under 10 and I listen, I
36:24
need everybody to pay attention. Cred, curly is the Boogeyman.
36:30
Whoo. Hey, whoo.
36:32
We okay with next person on my list, read.
36:37
Listen, listen to me people who watch this show, but don't watch
36:42
this show. Now, you need to chime in and
36:45
pay attention. It has not struck capable yet.
36:49
This man has run three times 44 in the middle, 2001 or two, I
36:56
can't remember which one it is. And 999.
37:00
That's right. I need you all to understand a
37:04
that's that's a career. First of all, be is damn.
37:08
Sure a season for any Superstar but see, second place in the
37:13
999, race was 1050 something. Second place in the 20, flat
37:18
race was 21, something and second place in the 44, middle
37:21
race was 4890 something, folks. This is practice.
37:26
That's what the man. The man is out here.
37:28
Time trialling at metal level performances.
37:32
The 999 now Metals budget by themselves.
37:41
By themselves. The point is this, yes is a
37:45
smidgen of hyperbole there. But at the end of the day at the
37:50
end of the day, it ain't April yet.
37:54
Not able, that's true. It ain't April yet.
37:57
This man has run under 10 above 20 and he's 44 in the middle.
38:06
Yeah, so like look, the question is the question is, which lane
38:12
are we running in right? 22, the hundred meter guys, and
38:17
the 400-meter guys are all Sleepless at some level thinking
38:21
about Fred. That's why I said, Fred's new
38:23
nickname is the Boogeyman because he is a problem.
38:31
That man is a problem. So have at it y'all that's a
38:40
good place that that's a good place to cut.
38:42
What was next to her. She's more silly Madness.
38:51
It's time. Was that?
38:53
No, it's not time to relax. Oh no.
38:56
No, this is chili Madness. Oh my God.
39:03
Never sneak like and so excited in my life.
39:05
Oh my God, it's silly met sadness.
39:08
Is what we're calling the NCAA Final Four in basketball.
39:13
See one? Let me do what's appropriate?
39:16
Let me know. Oh my gosh, stupid.
39:21
So we've got a watch with one eye.
39:23
You not really going to ask me. No questions, right?
39:26
Oh, there's no question is to ask you just plain and simple.
39:31
None of us know anything about college basketball clearly.
39:35
And so we have Duke versus UNC on one side of the coin.
39:39
We have little roaches and I think the governor Phil this and
39:43
that kicked it was a villanelle without their best scorer.
39:46
Yes. Yes.
39:48
Oh, So I think that I'll be going to just pick who we thinks
39:53
gonna win the thing now or forever.
39:54
Hold on, before before we get, but before we get to screwing up
39:59
more pics, there was a contest going on around here.
40:03
Oh my god, bitch. I'm pretty sure all five of us
40:06
got blank on the file yet. Yeah.
40:09
But like I said, but I was my first statement we all suck so
40:13
I'm not sure what we have to discuss this any further because
40:16
there's still a winner right there.
40:18
Welcome to be, I did nobody want because somebody got good.
40:21
Did anybody have Kansas in the final four?
40:24
Because that's the only shot of all 044 what, you know.
40:33
Okay. So we all next day.
40:42
That's actually not true. You can you just can't bet on
40:46
it? No, no, I can't.
40:48
Even fill it out. Oh wow, interesting.
40:52
Interesting. I don't know, science officers
40:55
that filled it out. How's it going to say nine
40:57
configure that's campus. Not only, oh God, we're really
41:08
gonna do this, exactly God bless Coach, K, wish him all the best.
41:22
I have no desire to try to pick this.
41:24
This idiocy, to be honest with you.
41:27
All right. I think we, we need to lick our
41:29
wounds, go on about our business and then come on next weekend.
41:32
And congratulate somebody because we're gonna get this
41:34
shit wrong because you're horrible.
41:36
So, he should tell you what's going on in college basketball
41:39
that were like, this is a massively upset tournament and
41:42
nobody picked the final four, and it's for Blue Bloods.
41:45
Yes. Okay.
41:46
Right, like that tells you all that?
41:48
What's going on in basketball or not?
41:49
Like, we're surprised that duke-north Carolina Linna Kansas
41:53
and Villanova and the final four.
41:54
Are you serious? Those four schools have won
41:56
national championships in the last 10 years.
41:58
Yeah, although that's true, so if we're not picking out I'll
42:02
just say things. I've watched a lot of the
42:04
tournament, not a lot of the seat.
42:08
First of all it is I was blown away to learn.
42:13
It was on one of the postgame shows for all duke-north
42:18
Carolina might is probably the best rivalry in college
42:21
basketball. You could argue, it's the best
42:23
rivalry in college sports. It's definitely what best one in
42:26
basketball for sure. They have never played in the
42:31
tournament and now they're going to play in the final four.
42:35
Yeah, for Coach K's last shot at his you know other dominance of
42:42
the the sport. Right.
42:43
Like that's incredible and you know, with all due respect to
42:47
the other half of the brackets, that's the only game that
42:49
matters this week. Whoever The other day it is, but
42:54
it's about basketball had a commissioner.
43:00
That man is sitting in his office going.
43:04
Yes, yes, he is. Absolutely this but he is.
43:12
I cannot wait to see what the numbers are.
43:16
For this game. Because let's call it what it
43:19
is. A country is split in half when
43:21
it comes to Duke and North Carolina, it's either or there's
43:24
no in-between. And, and to that point my entire
43:28
life, I was North Carolina side of that debate, hated Duke.
43:35
All of it. I am saying.
43:37
I am so rooting for do, I'm so sorry for myself.
43:41
I'm never absolutely rooting for my, I'm going to my stomach.
43:44
Christian Laettner, no, Christian Laettner.
43:47
Kristen later, ain't playing and I'm rooting for Coach K.
43:51
Made me hate Duke still hated you.
43:55
Okay, so I am still going for North Carolina to make the make
44:00
it to the final game as far as it's a better story and was
44:08
funny as I can't believe of all people, you are not rooting for
44:11
that chaos ultimate in Petty, right?
44:16
Your kids rally, you know, send you out on their shoulders, you
44:22
fall short to your arch rival, suck it Yeah, I don't know.
44:32
I have always hated Duke. I've never hated Coach K.
44:35
That makes sense. Sure, that makes sense too much
44:38
respect for the do and he deserves to go out, you know,
44:42
holding the trophy over his head since st.
44:45
Pete is out my you know, I'm rooting for chaos, kind of died.
44:50
When say Pete lost the game so I'm all in for Coach K and let
44:54
me just say this because let's be real.
44:57
We were kind of disrespectful. We even Other to pick the
45:00
women's final four. But did you don't know?
45:05
He was disrespectful. They were just so let me say
45:08
this, I was equally Blown Away to to learn that.
45:12
You don't worry Emma just qualify for his 14th final, four
45:18
in a row in the room lit your literally stole that out of my
45:22
out of my mouth. Yeah, it's insane.
45:25
That isn't 14 straight final fours, but it's all go game.
45:30
Cox on Staley. Let's get facts.
45:37
So we're not going to pick, we're just going to just let it
45:40
let it go. You know what?
45:56
Three places. Like all right, governor
46:02
governor says, North Carolina, versus Kansas who win and I got
46:08
I think Kansas wins again. Okay, I'm going Duke Villanova.
46:13
Yes, I know the dudes out. I don't care.
46:16
I don't like Kansas. Duke Villanova Coach K goes out
46:22
on top. Wow Carolina.
46:28
Villanova because I don't care either and Carolina will open by
46:34
a true ACC. Absolutely be complete because I
46:39
summer because I someday hope to be in his position.
46:44
I'm going to move her. Coach K to go out on a high
46:47
note. And I'm, there's no way I'm
46:51
thinking against Kansas because the filter was not beat Kansas
46:57
Coach, coach Coach K for the Victory Lane.
47:00
Well, okay, over can do to there.
47:04
So there you have it. Now we now we Jake's my man.
47:06
He's not gonna win, I know I know so can we get what?
47:17
You got? You Why can't you say it out
47:21
loud? You can mean it or something.
47:23
I do. You got to tell us something.
47:26
that's so funny because I know story for another no well, I
47:32
mean it should so that it actually goes the way I wanted
47:34
to go but Will you give a shout out to governor?
47:39
No. Can we can we give a shout-out
47:41
to Shaheen Holloway? Yeah, your name is namesake
47:45
Solutions. Holloway strong, baby.
47:48
Just announced, he got hired by his alma mater.
47:51
Seton Hall, yes. Cuz I mean, well, deserved,
47:56
look, you talk about someone in the trenches, like, who, who
48:01
knew? I didn't know.
48:02
See Saint Peter's existed. I mean, Governor can I be honest
48:06
with you? When they beat Kentucky, I
48:08
literally called to people and I asked him if Saint Peters was
48:12
from one of our American Idol. That was, that was pretty
48:22
special, man, pretty special. So shout out to Shaheen Holloway
48:27
what we're giving a shout-out to coaches.
48:30
That are well, Reserve, well deserved, you know, a lot of
48:32
times stuff goes by and hirings go by during the tournament and
48:36
they get glossed over. But I happen to be friends with
48:39
Dennis Gates and I'm going to tell you this, y'all Dennis
48:43
Gates is, if you had a son that was a basketball.
48:46
Are you would want your son to play like Dennis Gates and to
48:49
play for Dennis capes? And when I tell you, that him
48:52
being the new head coach of Missouri, is a incredible news
48:55
from Missouri and be incredibly well deserved.
48:59
You're talking about a dude from the south side of Chicago, who
49:02
bootstrapped himself. Got a degree got two degrees
49:05
from the University of California and then humbled
49:09
himself to be an assistant and just worked his way up.
49:14
Like, yes, he worked at Florida State.
49:16
But he also worked at a couple other spots that nobody else
49:19
would want to work. And, you know, whatever job it
49:22
was. It was to have.
49:24
He worked there, even worked at his alma mater at the at, you
49:28
know, at the bottom, the, the bottom level, the, the bottom
49:32
coach level. So look, I'm super happy for a
49:36
lot of the folks that are are getting their opportunities in
49:39
college basketball, because that's the one sport that seems
49:42
to actually get it. Like, you know, the the people
49:47
who play should have a coach from time to time, that looks
49:51
like that. And College basketball.
49:55
Seems to get that. True.
50:03
Who you got you? When I let you off the hook you
50:08
Kansas with Duke on top? Sorry.
50:14
Ya know, like so I had to look up st.
50:16
Peter's, right. So it's a New Jersey if you
50:20
don't know where it is now for the general public because I
50:24
didn't know I hadn't taken the time to do it but I also went on
50:27
the Twitter and in their File. It says smashing brackets.
50:32
Since 2022. That's pretty cool.
50:39
So funny, so so funny. And yes, congratulations, head
50:43
coach, because that's amazing. So let's get back on the track.
50:50
No pun intended. Pun intended is Is the new
50:55
Sprinter model one that has the elite range from 1 to the 4 for
51:01
example. Mr. Currently for example mr.
51:04
Norman so on and so forth. Is this the new model?
51:12
Hmm, I need Clarity on the quest.
51:17
What type of clarity? The new Springs, our model, are
51:21
we asking in general? Like will the future of elite
51:26
level sprinters just have that range period?
51:29
Or are we saying that the Noose printer model in the context of
51:33
the best people on the planet running?
51:35
The hundred are going to be former or flirted with 400 m
51:41
cats on the I think a sprinter is defined as somebody that runs
51:45
all three and I think that's in my opinion anyway.
51:48
So like so. But so put hoop on.
51:50
Who's behind the question? You'd explain how they want to
51:53
do with possessing, this question?
51:54
Yes. I'm asking for the spirit of
51:56
question. I think the spirit of the
51:59
question is, given what's going on, because it most times,
52:03
right? The top dictates the bottom so
52:05
given, what's going on up top? Are we going to see more cross
52:15
pollenization, right? Are we going to see more?
52:18
Or in the past, right? If you had, if you had at all
52:21
relatively Lincoln Sprinter, you know was it was a 24K, right?
52:26
Are some are more of those kids going to be running the 100 as
52:29
well, you know, also okay got you.
52:33
So what I'm asking is like our are we going to I think like to
52:39
Sir lucious is point to be really good at at any event in
52:43
track and field. You need to be at least passable
52:45
above and below. I think we've all we all want.
52:48
Would agree with that. But the new crop seemed to be
52:52
far better than passable above and below to the point where
52:56
you're not sure, which one's the best.
52:59
Like, you look at shreeka Jackson's.
53:01
You like, I don't know. you know, you look at Frank curly,
53:05
like you can't look, I don't think any of us could say which
53:08
ceiling is higher for Fred, the one that you are the 40 I could
53:15
I could that that would be interesting from a business
53:18
perspective. No, that's not what.
53:20
No, no sir. It is not about we notebook.
53:26
He made the business decision. Yes, we understand that I'm just
53:31
talking about performance. So the question is basically is
53:34
what's going on in the Pro ranks going to start changing, what
53:39
club coaches are doing with Elite level, high school kids,
53:42
what college coach they're going to be doing Level College, keep
53:45
Polish people. And as folks are coming, out of
53:50
college, are there going to be more Explorations into multiple
53:54
events because here for the last almost 20 years there's been a
53:56
whole lot of single eventers. Well, I mean like it maybe I'm
54:00
missing something but like when was there this model like
54:06
there's never been this model, like, are all those guys didn't
54:09
do this. I mean, like, take some of those
54:10
guys that Quincy started in the 1 and 2 and went up to the
54:13
floor. And never came back to.
54:15
What is that? Dennis?
54:17
Mitchell was a 400-meter guy that came down.
54:19
But we've never seen a model where somebody consistently ran
54:22
off, Sprint's, you know, to answer your question.
54:24
It's not going to change anything in my does, the high
54:26
school level? I mean, you get in the junior
54:29
high and the club ranks. You always see the kids were the
54:32
one, the two, and the four, heck, some of them run the
54:34
eight, the 15 as well. No, I don't think there's no,
54:37
there's not, there's not gonna be a college coach out there.
54:39
A high school. Not to go all that.
54:41
I got to develop this model of the 124 guy or girl.
54:44
No, I don't got associate happen.
54:46
When coaches are going to coach you to their strength around
54:48
coach, what they've been coaching to, I think Fred's an
54:52
outlier and the Boogeyman maybe as you call them but I don't see
54:57
that Fred is the new Sprint. Type in this country I'm still
55:01
not convinced. I've nobody knows what Michaels
55:03
when I come home it's going to do but in the United States, the
55:08
people with that skill set are Fred Michael bednarik who may
55:12
never another Ford in Atlanta. So, you take those three guys on
55:16
the table, where you got left? Sarika Jackson, he said in this
55:22
country known as you'd say he did, he did say in this country,
55:27
I agree on. So so, so on a planet with
55:29
billions of people you got for, no, because I don't think that
55:36
any of us would say that the current Olympic champion of the
55:41
400 women side isn't doing all three.
55:44
She may not go out. Serena will, well, I look at I
55:56
look at it like this. The top 10.
56:02
Okay. 100 200, 400 combinations. Are literally three different
56:10
eras and it's fascinating. Okay.
56:13
If you're starting from the past, you're talking about
56:17
Michael Johnson and Mike Marsh that are in that top 10 list.
56:22
then you're talking about gay, Blake Carter you saying, Okay,
56:32
another error. And now you're talking about
56:36
Norman curly bednarik and Van niekerk, who's not from any
56:43
class. So there are more now Right
56:49
there more that are running together.
56:52
Now, that's why the question was asked.
56:55
Yeah, because in it seems like, it's maybe I misunderstood the
56:59
question because like I'm like, I don't see any of these guys,
57:03
okay? Because somebody goes and runs
57:06
100. Every now and then for training
57:08
purposes, like Michael Johnson, ran to know, right?
57:11
Like with the thank you, read it, sparingly invest.
57:15
Yeah, so is the question I do. You think we're going to see
57:17
people compete in all three? Of these at a high level all the
57:20
time. Or when we will always see
57:24
somebody dropped out from the corner and go, no Run, Run, 100,
57:28
we always see a 100-meter person.
57:31
Go run a for, I don't think that's going to change your.
57:33
I don't think you ever see anybody that's going to be
57:35
trying to compute them like the stuff that carry the Carly's
57:37
doing. Yeah.
57:38
You know. Let's let's let's see what
57:41
Louis, let's see. What Fred's doing it.
57:43
Yeah, let's see if he still pussy.
57:44
Still up to these Shenanigans. And, and, and that's and that's
57:48
why I If I understand lucious is point of view, I think I agree
57:53
with lucious. I don't it we go back to a year
57:57
ago, right? When we all looked at Fred and
58:00
was like, dude, what are you doing?
58:02
Great, you're crazy, you're stupid, you're insane, whatever
58:05
your opinion was because no one thought it was a good idea
58:07
outside of him in his Camp, okay?
58:13
There's not a lot of human beings out there in the world
58:16
mentally built, like, Fred Kirby, who would even attempt a
58:22
full-scale flip. Like he did.
58:24
No, I'm not just going to run the hundred for training.
58:27
I'm going to go make this team and get a medal.
58:30
Yeah, and I dare you to stop me. Hmm, I don't see that being the
58:35
new Norm. I'm just not.
58:38
Not that, not only can people not pull that off.
58:41
Don't even think they're willing to attempt it now.
58:44
It may make good business and if you could pull it off.
58:47
Oh yeah. But imagine how bad of a
58:49
business decision that would have been if he tried it and
58:54
failed, because I'm pretty sure his contract is written in a way
58:58
that stipulates he supposed to get medals in the 400.
59:01
Right? So if you step out of your lane
59:05
pun intended and don't pull it off, you just might have
59:09
committed career suicide. Yeah, so I don't think there's a
59:13
lot of people willing to jump in that kind of fight and because
59:18
there's not, I don't think that there's going to you're going to
59:20
see a trend of this. I just don't, I don't buy that.
59:24
I always, you know, I feel like I feel like there's a
59:27
possibility of it is like I mean we all we all remember a time
59:32
where it was like it was unicorn is for people to desire to run
59:37
seven steps in the hurdles and nobody ever went life.
59:40
We want to have your friggin lead arm over your damn head and
59:43
then one dude runs 1280. And next thing I know every High
59:47
School coach the country is teaching both of those things.
59:50
Different deal do bro. Yeah.
1:00:10
Just like people, just the Box didn't fit like no.
1:00:13
You should be running the to in the floor with those long
1:00:15
strides and yada yada yada like I'm telling you right now.
1:00:17
If Tommy Smith came around right now he'd be running though he be
1:00:20
running the 1 and the 2 right because he had the foot speed
1:00:24
and the leg length and I'm saying I think there's a lot.
1:00:27
I think bolt broke the mold for a guy like Fred to think he
1:00:33
could run the hundred right because now the math, all of a
1:00:35
sudden the math and all of us wouldn't do not I don't mean us
1:00:38
but like go there. Big, they shouldn't be run the
1:00:40
hundred, right? And they're all pull call Poor
1:00:43
starters. They was all the nonsense that
1:00:44
was always said right now that that mold has been broken in.
1:00:47
The math is different. Like there's a bunch of
1:00:49
six-foot-four 65-inch kids that are running 100.
1:00:51
Maybe most of them shouldn't be. You got like 17 of them.
1:00:55
Don't Once I have to do is your question what it has to do with
1:01:04
my question is, I think that there are there are more people
1:01:10
out there who would have been to for guys, or even just for guys
1:01:15
and women who I think their coaches are now going to be
1:01:19
willing to, you know, you run a fast enough fly 30.
1:01:23
Like I'm gonna put you on these people.
1:01:27
You know what good because the white, the white Why the
1:01:30
question was asked what she was wearing?
1:01:32
Is this, the way the question was structured made me cry?
1:01:36
So are you asking to the new trend going to be that the new
1:01:41
Sprinter is going to be people like Fred trying to do all
1:01:45
three? Yes, that's your question and
1:01:47
your answer is no, absolutely not.
1:01:50
And I yeah, the way you just started talking and getting into
1:01:54
that it sounded like a totally different question.
1:01:56
If Because now you're talking about size and stride lengths
1:01:59
and stuff like that. So if you want to, so he
1:02:01
definitely went around up, you went around the block.
1:02:03
No, I didn't go around the block, I like I think that's the
1:02:05
reason that the question came about.
1:02:07
Oh no, I'm with you. I'm trying.
1:02:09
I'm trying to follow you down around the block, if you will.
1:02:15
If the question, if the spirit of what you're asking is bolt
1:02:20
breaks the mold. Now, here comes Fred, will the
1:02:24
people at the lower divisions. Collegiate sprinters and coaches
1:02:29
High School sprinters and coaches.
1:02:31
Take a new look at Sprint events in general and say, Hey, you
1:02:35
know, tall, people can Sprint to sure.
1:02:38
I'll give you that, but the question was originally framed
1:02:42
as will this be a new mold at the top and I'm like, no hell
1:02:47
no. And for the record because
1:02:49
Trayvon and him ain't about start running 40s for lows.
1:02:53
No, no. Because we could because it
1:02:56
could because that But there was a trend there for a while, you
1:02:59
know it was like no Carl knows, guys did it, you know, Tyson did
1:03:05
it bolt bolt, did it, you know it.
1:03:08
Hey, hey even asafa Powell tried to run afford it, which was
1:03:11
very. So that was a trend amongst that
1:03:16
group to have them go out and try to prove.
1:03:18
They can run a fast one hundred about 400 because you know, I
1:03:21
think it just goes back to the J.
1:03:23
The J statement. You can't run around here.
1:03:25
Can't go around the track, right?
1:03:27
But I don't think there's no one out there in my life that I can
1:03:30
remember this doing? What Freud, did, which was doing
1:03:33
and what he did? No, so I do I think it's going
1:03:35
to be a trend. Absolutely.
1:03:36
Not, you know I think it's weird.
1:03:38
You have somebody else. Before everyone.
1:04:11
Pushes pause to go find the video.
1:04:14
So, let's address this last. Jaw-dropping part and
1:04:19
jaw-dropping for other reasons. Oh, boy.
1:04:23
I mean, the slap heard around the world and seen on everyone's
1:04:27
screen. And I don't want to do video of
1:04:33
it today. Two.
1:04:34
Very interesting. I'm gonna go first because I
1:04:37
because I know if I go last, I'm going to be mad by the time we
1:04:41
get to me. So I want to, I want to be
1:04:43
clear-headed when I speak. Look at you.
1:04:52
As you rise in stature, you are often. you're often faced with
1:05:04
the rules of the new versus the rules.
1:05:07
You grew up with. and, Most people most of us we side with
1:05:18
the rules of, you know, of the Ascension, as opposed to where
1:05:23
you grew, you know, your where you grew up from.
1:05:25
So you're supposed to grow and mature and get better and not do
1:05:30
things that you would have done from whence, you came. clearly,
1:05:36
that went out the window, in this particular case, If given
1:05:44
any moment of clear mind like 1 1 nanosecond to take a breath
1:05:52
and asked, will if someone tells a joke not even a you know, not
1:06:01
not even a particularly harsh joke but tells a joke about Jada
1:06:05
that you don't like, should you A B C or D?
1:06:11
Slap the fire out of them? All worldwide TV.
1:06:14
If given even a nanosecond to think about his answer, there's
1:06:18
no chance he picks d. But when you're in a place and I
1:06:23
don't know where he's at mentally but clearly he was in a
1:06:25
place of reactionary. Vigor.
1:06:33
Man disrespected his wife that ain't happening walks up on the
1:06:37
stage disrespects. Man.
1:06:43
I know he's human and we all make human mistakes.
1:06:45
I do I completely get it. I'm still flabbergasted at the
1:06:52
fact that it happened. It took me two days to actually,
1:06:55
to actually accept the fact that it really happened, that it
1:06:58
wasn't staged because I'll be honest with you.
1:07:00
Both those two are really good actors and that thought kept
1:07:03
fighting in my head, but this ain't real.
1:07:06
We're all being duped, this is a way to get get a community that
1:07:10
doesn't usually talk about the Oscars to talk about the Oscars
1:07:13
like I heard. All right.
1:07:15
But after seeing that video enough times I I'm like nope
1:07:19
that really Happened. He was really mad.
1:07:20
He really lost his mind. And, and seeing Chris Rock's
1:07:24
complete and utter befuddle meant, you know, the more times
1:07:27
you watch it, you can just watch Chris Rock afterwards and you
1:07:30
can see, like, he's talking to people in the back of the
1:07:32
cities. Like I have no idea what the
1:07:33
hell just happened. I will just say this, I'm left
1:07:38
with this because I don't want to steal all the points and I
1:07:40
really want to hear what you guys have to say.
1:07:42
I am shocked flabbergasted and honestly proudly amazed at Chris
1:07:49
Rock Because Chris Rock is from the very same neighborhood and
1:07:54
from the very same time, as me, he is from Bed-Stuy and where we
1:07:59
grew up, I don't care how much money you have.
1:08:02
I don't care how much money you may jeopardize.
1:08:04
If a man slaps, you in public in that fashion, you probably die
1:08:09
trying to kill him. And, and the fact that he, I
1:08:15
just need people to really understand like he made an
1:08:18
incredible job. joke, immediately after being smacked,
1:08:23
he said that was The greatest night on television history.
1:08:28
Hmm look bro, I promise you if it's me and I love to believe
1:08:33
that I have restraint and such and Sir lucious and I have
1:08:36
talked about this 15 different times.
1:08:40
There's no shock that I don't tackle that dude.
1:08:44
No shot. And I think even if even if
1:08:48
given like you know the clarity of 50 plus years I still would
1:08:53
have at least said immediately with a live mic y'all know I'm a
1:08:58
whoop his ass from the show's over right?
1:09:00
Like there's like there's just no way I could have let it go
1:09:04
the way he did publicly and for that like look I give Chris Rock
1:09:08
Lee that he should get an Academy Award for that.
1:09:13
That's my, that's my take. Oh no, you better know, you've
1:09:19
been rubbing your hands all day, bro.
1:09:20
I'm definitely not going before. You saw see if the governor's
1:09:23
going that I'm going left. I want to hear this.
1:09:29
I I wasn't even tuned in so everything that I saw came after
1:09:40
it had already happened and I played it back.
1:09:45
I don't like okay this is scripted played it back again.
1:09:50
No. And then you know so the the
1:09:55
version I saw was the the u.s. TV version that was you know,
1:10:00
blanked out. Then I watched the Japanese
1:10:05
version. and, So you're talking about a sequence of events where
1:10:14
Joe has made a man gets up strides onto the stage slaps.
1:10:22
Another man turns around and goes and sits down and then
1:10:26
twice shouts out. Keep my wife's name out of your
1:10:33
effing mouth and It was like okay this is temporary insanity.
1:10:42
This is this is a this is a period in time where nothing
1:10:48
else exists and It was like for that Split Second.
1:10:56
I don't know Will Smith realize where he was or what he was
1:11:02
doing, and he sat there and it was like, all right, carry on
1:11:12
couple minutes later, he wins the award, he's on stage, he's
1:11:16
crying, he's effusive, he is, he is apologizing, I mean I know.
1:11:24
Of all on of all movies, Okay? He is playing a man that spent
1:11:34
his entire life, protecting his daughters, his wife. and it was
1:11:42
like, So I mean, the way I think, right?
1:11:46
I'm like so that this happen in direct relation with the role
1:11:52
that this man has won an Oscar for like, what are we, what are
1:11:56
we watching here? You know.
1:12:00
So I don't know. I I absolutely hate this because
1:12:12
this, this is, you know, the the statement that he mentioned in
1:12:16
his acceptance speech, where Denzel said to him in your
1:12:20
moment of your highest moment. The devil is coming for you and
1:12:28
I'm just going, holy cow. Right.
1:12:33
This is this. This is this is as high as this
1:12:35
man has ever gotten. This is the ultimate sign of
1:12:39
respect in this industry and he will not be remembered for that.
1:12:46
He will be remembered for his actions and its roof.
1:12:53
It's poetic it is it is something that is going to
1:12:57
follow him, you know, for the rest of his life.
1:13:02
And it's sad. It's a sad commentary and I'm
1:13:07
still processing it. So you know, that's all I have
1:13:13
to say about it. I mean, it's I don't know what
1:13:15
else to say really. But it was just you would like
1:13:19
me to go now. Absolutely would.
1:13:23
I'm rubbing my hands and I got I got jokes and everything but
1:13:27
there's nothing actually funny about any of this to me.
1:13:32
Full context. Full transparency.
1:13:36
I am a lifelong lifelong. Fan of Jada Pinkett.
1:13:44
And you know Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is one of those shows,
1:13:48
you know that I kind of grew up on, right?
1:13:52
I've always had the utmost respect for the Arc of the
1:13:57
career. That is Will Smith.
1:14:00
I'm a fan of Comedy, Chris Rock is amazing.
1:14:03
I think he's a, you know, all-time great comic.
1:14:05
He's not in my top five but like, he's on the list, right?
1:14:11
So to watch this play out in real time because I am a huge
1:14:17
Hollywood fan fanatic. So I was watching live.
1:14:23
To watch that play out live. Even with the thing that let me
1:14:30
know, it was real was the fact that they cut the mics.
1:14:35
Because I was like, what Lou what it looked staged in the in
1:14:39
the second. Because let's be clear because I
1:14:41
like facts Will Smith thought that that joke was hilarious.
1:14:51
He was mouth open wide laughing out loud at the joke.
1:14:59
Jay didn't find it funny, which I find puzzling because there
1:15:04
are videos out in on, in the world, just preceding the events
1:15:09
where Jada is openly talking about, her little alopecia
1:15:11
situation, and says, quote all I can do about this as laughs.
1:15:15
What else can you do? Okay.
1:15:20
This is incredibly sad for me because I have to like I have to
1:15:30
turn in my fan card of both of these people.
1:15:35
Oh Jaden will and trust me. I defended Jada at all cost.
1:15:43
This is a Shakespearean tragedy for Will Smith.
1:15:49
Because this is his legacy now. It just is for all the good
1:15:55
works. He's done.
1:15:57
For all the things that he is out in the world attempting to
1:16:00
promote, this is the way he will ultimately be remembered, and
1:16:06
it's sad because what I witnessed on that stage was the
1:16:11
ultimate beta move, weak cowardly, move that I've ever
1:16:19
witnessed in real life from a male.
1:16:22
It was beta all the way. And then for him to get the
1:16:28
award, which I predicted, like, people phones are blowing up.
1:16:32
I'm sitting there texting like, did you see that?
1:16:34
Yeah, I was like, watch what's going to happen.
1:16:36
He gonna win this award for best actor because he clearly was
1:16:40
that this year He made it ten times worse by going on that
1:16:44
stage and gaslighting America, because make no mistake about
1:16:49
it. That's exactly what that whole
1:16:50
speech. Was grade, a level pure
1:16:54
definition of gaslighting, bro, you're not Richard Williams, you
1:16:58
weren't up there defending, your wife, your wife was in no
1:17:02
danger. She was irritated.
1:17:07
She was irritated. And you thought it was funny.
1:17:12
That man went up there and gas-lit America from the stage
1:17:17
with his crocodile tears and all this other, that the speech was
1:17:20
his best acting performance I've ever seen.
1:17:24
It really was. That man, if you read Wills book
1:17:28
and I haven't read it, but I've listened to half of it.
1:17:32
The opening thing that he talks about in his book is he
1:17:34
literally says, I've all my life, I felt like a coward and
1:17:37
he goes into the story about how when his mother was being beaten
1:17:41
by his father at a young age, he never did anything about it.
1:17:43
You never stood up for, he never did any of that.
1:17:46
So you whole life you felt like a coward and then in this moment
1:17:49
you turned into a bully Sit Will Smith is 62 200 something
1:17:54
pounds. Chris Rock is a little as to you
1:17:57
walked on that stage and assaulted a black man.
1:18:01
In front of millions and millions of people.
1:18:04
And then turned around and looked had your chest pumped out
1:18:07
and walk back to the seat. Like you did something worthy
1:18:11
like you did something cool. Like your the like you're the
1:18:14
guy that was a clown beta cowardly act and Bravo to Chris
1:18:22
Rock, because he's a better man than I ever will be.
1:18:25
Oh, there's there's no there's no way and I know I have
1:18:28
composer. I would have curb stomp wheel or
1:18:32
done my best to try. And my issue is this if if you
1:18:40
want to get into the whole joke thing, look there's two ways to
1:18:43
look at that joke. It was a super surface-level
1:18:46
joke and a very obvious one because the girl sitting in the
1:18:49
front row with a bald head The joke is about the movie g.i.
1:18:54
Jane played by Demi Moore, right?
1:18:58
It was a very easy, surface-level joke, the anybody
1:19:01
could have made in any comedian, probably would have made because
1:19:03
it was easy. Jimmy Kimmel makes that joke.
1:19:07
Jimmy Fallon makes that joke Will Smith doesn't get onto the
1:19:11
good. Doesn't walk up stage and
1:19:12
slapping doesn't happen. Or you could look at The Jug,
1:19:16
like, I see it. Which was Chris, Rock is a
1:19:19
comedic comic genius. Who is Demi Moore Demi Moore is
1:19:23
a woman who cheated on her ex on her husband at the time with a
1:19:28
younger man. So if you want to go Sinister
1:19:32
and diabolical about the joke that was some next-level petty,
1:19:35
brilliance by Chris Rock. Either way, Will Smith has been
1:19:41
participating in his own emasculation for a really long
1:19:45
time. And now you in your feelings.
1:19:49
And you mad at the whole world. So you go up there and do that
1:19:53
to Chris Rock. Nah, bro.
1:19:56
I'm sorry, I'm off the wagon. I'm off the train.
1:20:01
Jada is God. She pushed that button in 3
1:20:06
seconds with a look. With a look. and if that is the
1:20:11
state of the world that Will Smith is currently living in, He
1:20:15
just a beta male who I have no respect for as a man.
1:20:20
Good actor but I've known do is like that my whole life and I
1:20:24
never had any respect for him and he showed the world who he
1:20:28
is today and I can't rock with it.
1:20:31
So, Elliott track. Well, I find all that
1:20:38
interesting. I know some of the things that
1:20:42
you said in your journey around the block workings, I've read
1:20:48
and heard in social media, you know, your comment, that it was
1:20:54
a white comedian. He wouldn't have hit him.
1:20:57
I find that interesting because nobody knows, it could have been
1:21:02
red, white people Brown. I don't think there's any way
1:21:04
you can say he wouldn't have hit whoever it was Will Smith is not
1:21:09
the first nor is he the last man that has gotten over work from
1:21:12
his wife or significant other and then went to her rescue?
1:21:16
He won't be wasn't the first. He won't be the last the thing
1:21:19
that I have been appalled by us and somehow this has become
1:21:22
about race and you know our race is always judged by things that
1:21:27
we do in public but no other race is because because if Will
1:21:34
Smith is a definition of a black man that's a coward.
1:21:37
Because what he did was, as you say cowardly, then what does
1:21:42
that speak about all the white men that were, at the Capitol,
1:21:46
right? So some point in time, we got to
1:21:48
stop, wait, hold on, Kiki's redo that connection, because that's
1:21:51
not what I said. I didn't add any sense what you
1:21:54
said. Okay, I didn't mention your
1:21:55
name. Thank you.
1:21:57
Yeah. So at the end of the day for me,
1:22:00
yeah, I'm gonna choose compassion here because nobody
1:22:02
knows what that man's been through about a men's at those.
1:22:05
What what he's continued. What do you may be?
1:22:07
Continue to go through. Oh yes, Mom, nobody knows
1:22:14
exactly what the man goes to. The guy was George Williams
1:22:17
loves to say, can't do the play, if you're not in the hospital
1:22:19
and nobody, not everybody's in that huddle, you know, was we
1:22:24
have all been talking about for the last year or more mental
1:22:26
health. Mental issues are real, and I'm
1:22:29
agree with the governor, that clearly there was a very mental
1:22:32
moment there. So, again, I'm going to Say this
1:22:37
clear loud scream not about race.
1:22:42
Again, other races are never defined by the idiocy of the
1:22:45
things that they do publicly, right?
1:22:48
And I'm not gonna allow anybody in my presence, any way to
1:22:51
define the African-American race.
1:22:52
But what Will Smith did? I am not going to choose to bash
1:22:58
Will Smith and make him a coward or any other things that people
1:23:01
have called it because he had a weak moment in his life because
1:23:05
Each of us is better than the worst thing I've ever done in
1:23:08
our life, okay. I don't see why this is one of
1:23:11
the find him. I don't believe that, you know,
1:23:14
will people talk about it a lot? They will.
1:23:16
But was it to be an amiss had a brilliant career?
1:23:19
And this one moment I'm going to overshot every good thing he's
1:23:21
ever done this. Like I just find that very hard
1:23:23
to believe so didn't of the day. Am I back in with what he did.
1:23:28
Absolutely not. But I'm also going to have some
1:23:31
compassion for the man because he had a weak moment.
1:23:33
We've all had them. I know I have and done things
1:23:36
that I regret it later. I know good and damn well, I've
1:23:39
gone to my wife's rescue and sometimes going.
1:23:42
I probably could have handled that better.
1:23:44
And so as a man and who knows that we are humans and we make
1:23:50
mistakes, then I'm just going to be compassionate and prayed.
1:23:53
It will gets better and that it doesn't happen again to those
1:23:58
out there who know said, you know, I would have did this to
1:24:02
him. I would do that to him, you're
1:24:03
not Chris Rock. And there are five of us on this
1:24:06
on this, the screen all five of us would handle the situation
1:24:10
differently. So you can never say what what
1:24:13
he or she would have should none.
1:24:15
You can talk about what you would have done or think you
1:24:17
would have done anyway but you can't talk about what somebody
1:24:20
else should have done. Chris hit, Chris Rock held at
1:24:22
the way he wanted to handle it, kudos to him.
1:24:25
So I would like people to get off of this train of what Chris
1:24:30
Rock should have done calling will outside of who he really.
1:24:34
Is a, who you perceive them to be as a compassion for the man,
1:24:37
he had a weak moment. Okay.
1:24:40
And in fact, that, that one moment, if you or anybody else
1:24:43
wants to Define Will Smith for that one moment in his life,
1:24:46
shame on all of you because like I said, each of us is greater
1:24:51
than the worst thing you've ever done.
1:24:53
Yeah, I agree with that sentiment, sure.
1:24:56
But The greatest moment, Wilson actor.
1:25:01
He's been working his whole life for the moment.
1:25:03
He was meant to have on that stage at that event.
1:25:08
His whole career will is a brilliant actor.
1:25:11
He's been doing many movies. That a lot of people say he
1:25:13
should have got this for, he should have got that for The,
1:25:17
the highest moment of his career he took away from himself.
1:25:22
He did that. And the Denzel quote is
1:25:25
brilliant, but let's see. See, again, we want to paint
1:25:29
this scenario. Okay?
1:25:31
You can, you are in. You are entitled to your
1:25:33
opinion, Clyde. You are.
1:25:35
Okay. Even have no idea.
1:25:37
What goes on that man's head? Go, let me let me be clear.
1:25:40
Any guinea pig? If you feel like that day, he
1:25:44
messed up the moment. Of course he did.
1:25:47
You you nor anybody else does not inside that Circle.
1:25:52
This not inside his head. Will ever.
1:25:54
Really know what triggered that? Let me, let me be clear.
1:25:58
I agree with you on that. I'm telling I'm here to tell you
1:26:01
that, I don't care. Okay.
1:26:03
Then why don't we share it all and we should move Denzel quote,
1:26:07
the Denzel quote, I don't care what triggered it.
1:26:11
I don't care what the excuses are.
1:26:13
I care about the actions can answer your question.
1:26:16
Can I ask you a question? Good.
1:26:17
Would you really sit there and tell me you never done anything
1:26:20
in your life? That you read immediately
1:26:22
regretted. I should have done.
1:26:25
I've never done. I've never done that.
1:26:27
Okay, because you know what? I'm sure.
1:26:28
There's things that you've done it.
1:26:30
He's never done. Don't but we should we shouldn't
1:26:33
judge other people. What I do.
1:26:34
Oh, I'm judgy-wudgy right now. I'm good with that.
1:26:37
I'm here, I do always have, I'm sorry, time out.
1:26:46
Reference, I think City wrestling league, I think,
1:26:50
personally, we should move forward.
1:26:53
I don't think we should spend a lot of time, you know, bashing a
1:26:55
man because he had because he had a bad moment in his life.
1:26:58
That's just that's cool. You haven't asked him yet?
1:27:01
I'm here. I'm not worried about you.
1:27:03
I know, of course, you are. The governor can you throughout
1:27:06
the Denzel quote? Hmm, which was, which was a
1:27:09
brilliant quote and very apropos.
1:27:12
Denzel said that to that man during the break while he he's
1:27:16
trying to get the man to come to his senses and what himself and
1:27:20
what did Will Smith do Will Smith took that quote up on
1:27:24
stage and inserted it into his speech, as if to refer to Chris
1:27:29
Rock as the devil in the situation?
1:27:32
No, no, that's not what you do know.
1:27:58
Okay. I kind of grew up in the same
1:28:17
same rules. How how in your life in your
1:28:24
social life? Have you typically responded to
1:28:26
Beta male Behavior? It gets washed There it is right
1:28:34
there. What is that?
1:28:36
She understands where I'm at with?
1:28:38
This is the ultimate, he's not he's not the definition of bad
1:28:51
black, male Behavior. He's the definition of a simple,
1:28:54
that's what he is. So here two cents and then and
1:28:58
there only one it does get squashed right?
1:29:01
Like like you Literally just give him the and then you just
1:29:04
like hand in the face, push it down, whatever it is but I'll
1:29:09
say in that Forum when I'm when I'm on national TV doing this
1:29:15
grandiose thing and he's hosting and what not I don't know that I
1:29:19
would have responded to do the same, you know, and and to put
1:29:24
it in Chris Rock's perspective and then flipping the other
1:29:26
side, you know. Having that Outburst in that
1:29:31
reaction. I guess it depends on the very
1:29:36
moment like how vulnerable and I'm at that moment as to how big
1:29:41
it gets and so that part so I mean I've definitely like My
1:29:47
version of Will Smith's reaction is someone pissed me off the
1:29:50
right time with the right thing with the right word and I threw
1:29:53
the keys at them and I'm not a throwback.
1:29:56
He's kind of person. Yeah.
1:29:58
But I suppose I've also had someone blow up blow up at me
1:30:01
and I'm like, okay. Are you done?
1:30:04
And with that was it, you know and not even like a sassy, are
1:30:07
you done? It was like are you done?
1:30:08
So I can help you get back to a place that I know you were at.
1:30:13
Just just understand as we get more and more days away from the
1:30:18
actual event. More information continues to
1:30:21
leak out and video leaked out today from a different angle of
1:30:25
someone with a cell phone camera.
1:30:26
Sitting behind Lupita Nyong'o, who is sitting directly behind
1:30:30
both of them. Jada was laughing after will
1:30:35
slap Chris. She was not even upset or hurt
1:30:39
or in distress. She fought his actions were
1:30:42
Funny. The one person in the venue that
1:30:46
thought that was funny and knew it was real.
1:30:48
In the moment thought it was funny.
1:30:51
Y'all got to understand, man. It's, it's just it's wrong.
1:30:56
Every please explain. Okay.
1:30:57
Look, nobody is going and nobody on these tiles and said that he
1:31:01
was right, okay? But see, I'm going to say this
1:31:05
and I'm done at mean. I'm done, right?
1:31:08
We need to move the fuck on, I'm done.
1:31:10
Okay, we have to stop with this. Credible nonsense of destroying
1:31:17
a person because it had a bad moment because we've all had
1:31:21
them, okay. The man had a bad moment and now
1:31:24
he's the worst person on the planet.
1:31:25
I don't get it okay? I don't care who video what and
1:31:29
who was laughing and who wasn't. Okay?
1:31:31
The man has been in the spotlight for years.
1:31:35
Doing great things in his career, he has one bad moment
1:31:39
and now he's the worst person on the planet.
1:31:41
I don't get it. No, I want to get it.
1:31:44
I really like the movie. He's far from the worst person.
1:31:47
I really, I really can't do this anymore tonight.
1:31:51
I can't. I'm all rapid fire on fire at
1:31:55
me. Please gluten is way closer to
1:31:57
the worst person on Will Smith alone.
1:32:02
Especially because trust me Everybody on this panel, well,
1:32:08
three of us for sure. My cell phone number, including
1:32:12
those three. I have witnessed us do things
1:32:16
not to that level. I haven't seen the governor
1:32:19
haven't seen, what I've seen both of you.
1:32:22
Other two at your best and I know I can be walking out.
1:32:25
Okay. I promise you like this.
1:32:29
Yeah, so let's stop. I have no idea what you're
1:32:33
talking about, all right? I'm totally confused with that.
1:32:37
No, I was kidding. I absolutely know what he's
1:32:39
talking about. I literally have no idea so
1:32:41
post. So I'd love to hear that.
1:32:43
Go ahead. All right.
1:32:47
Well let's go ahead and put Solutions in that rapid fire and
1:32:52
see him move some Matrix moves. I think I think I got some
1:32:56
pretty good ones but I'm sure that's Up For Debate every time
1:32:59
after it'll be suspected, always it never does.
1:33:08
All right sir, what is a family tradition that you hold on, too
1:33:12
tight? And we tradition what's G family
1:33:19
traditional? Oh I mean Probably the biggest
1:33:23
family tradition we have is the oak.
1:33:25
The Christmas festivities opening gifts the night before
1:33:29
Christmas, and then getting up early the next morning and
1:33:32
opening up the rest. I will met.

Yeah, he was in Georgia. When you were a kid, did you
1:34:51
want to be a coach when he grew up?
1:34:54
I wanted to be a lawyer when I was a kid.
1:34:59
See there's a lot of ways I am I am.
1:35:04
All right, and I forgive me if I'm saying this wrong because I
1:35:09
I always say it differently. Whenever I would try to read it,

1:37:10
touch with the final contact from about 2 years ago.
1:37:12
So goddamn contract Hollow it. That was the starting
1:37:15
quarterback for Tennessee back in the middle of the 70s.
1:37:20
You know, breaking racial barriers have just wanted to
1:37:22
have a conversation with them. So those are the two people I
1:37:24
love to have a conversation. That's cool which event went.
1:37:31
So like you've won the event will always give you a little
1:37:34
giggle inside. Post what I want.
1:37:39
Oh yeah. Well that was part that was
1:37:42
person. I mean it's just like the bite
1:37:45
my two favorite events from the chaos standpoint is the for y1
1:37:50
and not in the high hurdles. That's why I love him so much
1:37:52
because it's just you live on the edge throughout the whole
1:37:54
thing, you know, and make sense. Thank you.
1:37:57
You watching the floor one year, I pass the stick pass, the stick
1:38:00
watching hurdles, put your feet down.
1:38:01
Put your feet down, right? All right, last one for me,
1:38:09
besides Rings. What do you collect?
1:38:15
I like that the way your Jordans.
1:38:24
So side note, I think that Nationals I had intended to take
1:38:32
a shoe pick with you and I forgot because we had the same
1:38:36
shoes different color ways, but I'll take it.
1:38:42
Anyhow, we'll get them. All right, gentlemen.
1:38:47
Floor is yours. You have to unmute yourself full
1:38:56
down before you try to open it. Okay.
1:39:04
The academy has decided to put will under investigation for his
1:39:09
actions, if they take away his Oscar, who should it?
1:39:13
Go to You asking me that question?
1:39:18
Yeah, that's my ratified was. Okay.
1:39:21
So here's my answer to that. I don't watch that show.
1:39:24
I haven't watched that show. Since I was a child, I can care
1:39:27
less. I'll need all you watch movies
1:39:29
like that. So this is real.
1:39:32
Give it to Denzel for Macbeth. I haven't seen Macbeth.
1:39:37
That's even better guys. See Denzel do Shakespeare.
1:39:42
I didn't even know that was a thing.
1:40:36
First off, I just want to say to the to the fan base out there.
1:40:40
Listen, when you have Garrett's Popcorn sitting directly in
1:40:43
front of you, it is humanly impossible to not eat it for
1:40:46
over an hour. So yes, I did mute myself.
1:40:49
And yes, I did eat popcorn on the show because I have
1:40:52
Garrett's in this bowl and y'all are mad that you don't.
1:40:56
So anyway, I don't know. I always try to be enlightening
1:41:04
in my rapid fire questions with service, just because I
1:41:07
unfortunately for most I'm really close to the dude.
1:41:11
So I know most of the answers these things, I'll try to ask
1:41:14
entertaining questions that the rest of the world wouldn't
1:41:17
really know. So I'll ask a good question.
1:41:25
At least I think is a good question.
1:41:28
What song did you dance with your wife to for your first
1:41:35
dance at your wedding? I'm sorry what?
1:41:47
This is the dude that can remember Josh Walker's, like
1:41:50
high school hundred meter PD and you don't remember what song you
1:41:53
dance to I know but and I don't know she remembers but, I'm
1:42:07
going to find out what we know though that's holistically
1:42:11
unacceptable and I will have to mute myself and ask another
1:42:13
question after the governor All right. so you have been at the
1:42:29
University of Florida for how long now my 27th year 27th year
1:42:35
Okay. You have packed up bags and gone
1:42:43
on trips, at least. Ten times a year.
1:42:48
I mean, if you even if you add cross in the media talking about
1:42:52
12 to 14 trips a year, okay? Can you remember the absolute
1:42:59
worst trip? That you've taken in your time
1:43:04
at Florida with, with the team, the worst trip.
1:43:12
Okay. Well, you know, Possibly the
1:43:15
worst ship was the trip. We took to Fayetteville Arkansas
1:43:19
and we had to sleep in the Atlanta airport on the floor
1:43:23
and, you know, me, I travel in a suit.
1:43:26
So that was really comfortable. And I slept on a table that
1:43:30
night, the airport has a hotel in airports or why you ain't
1:43:38
just do that cuz because there were still have enough room for
1:43:43
all. Ugh, yeah.
1:43:44
Oh, I'm sure for all the all I'm saying, why you?
1:43:46
And the suit? No, leave the assistance to it.
1:43:51
And I, you know, I I happen to have a from the airport.
1:43:59
She told us, she told me there's this Big Board Room, it was
1:44:03
plenty of spaces on the floor. Is that the floor wasn't
1:44:06
actually that bad. It's just that the team took up
1:44:09
most the for space. So I step on the time That's
1:44:13
your good leaders. Just I understand Huff would
1:44:18
have been in Terminal A or whatever it is in the hotel like
1:44:24
college. Cuz that we got there.
1:44:40
Okay, okay, because it's the crazy thing was we got there.
1:44:43
My bags didn't get there. Hmm.
1:44:45
Excited to go shopping and buy all new clothes and stuff and
1:44:48
then we get back to games while our bags when they're waiting
1:44:50
for us, which is Magic while all that happened.
1:44:53
So yeah. Yeah.
1:44:58
So you another question knows nothing or we get.
1:45:02
I do. I do things you've never done in
1:45:09
your life yet and you only get to have one of them ever happen.
1:45:15
Bowl of 300. Coach a gold medalist.
1:45:23
Actually, I'm sorry that's happened.
1:45:25
Duh. Hey man, I tried is why you only
1:45:30
get one and not to it's late. It's late, it's late.
1:45:34
I want to eat my popcorn clearly.
1:45:39
I'm like, wait a minute. I would like when I coached the
1:45:41
gold medal. Yeah, more than one.
1:45:43
And it's and then the 300 thing I'm just I'm just come to the
1:45:47
realization that if it happens, it happens, if it doesn't.
1:45:50
It's done. Like I'm not I'm not chasing
1:45:53
that. I'm not chasing a guy.
1:45:54
That's like that's like a dog. Chasing his tail about them.
1:45:56
Not doing. Yeah, not doing it.
1:46:00
They've had if it's meant to happen, it will happen if it
1:46:02
doesn't, you know, hey, I'm just gonna go and have fun because I
1:46:07
had a good friend of mine. Mine 4289 cup about a month and
1:46:13
a half ago. He hadn't broken 200 cents.
1:46:19
Does he carry? Nice.
1:46:20
I got a ball 300. I said to him, I said, so the
1:46:22
night when you vote to 18 hour, you think about Community goes,
1:46:24
of course not, I'm like a task by boat to 89.
1:46:27
Mmm. So he goes in there every week,
1:46:30
I'm ballin 380s, like 190 something every time now.
1:46:34
Good job. Ra Yeah.
1:46:38
All right. Well, that was a good one to end
1:46:42
on boys sincerely. So we'll wrap up quickly and out
1:46:47
quickly with heartbeat props just giving some recognition.
1:46:52
Some lift up some Shining Light to some people who need it, who
1:46:56
deserve it? Oh you don't, I'll go first.
1:47:03
This isn't something. I don't know.
1:47:04
It's not a harpy prop, her say, but maybe just a little boost up
1:47:09
recently here in the last couple weeks.
1:47:11
But specifically last week social media has gotten a little
1:47:15
spicy with the words that go to Sur starting to use topics.
1:47:20
Finger-pointing things of that nature and I specifically am
1:47:23
saying this but coaches because that's who I am specifically
1:47:27
talking to not people in general but But to me in the indicator
1:47:32
to that is because we're all getting a little tired, right?
1:47:35
We've completed in door, we're going out door at this point,
1:47:39
we've hit the height of our travel and it's still going.
1:47:44
And so we're being nitpicky at things that we see.
1:47:48
I think that being said so I am here, lifting you all up to say,
1:47:54
take a breath to take a step back to stop reacting and to
1:48:00
enjoy What we do because we love what we do.
1:48:02
Love the student-athletes, we work with, we love all these
1:48:05
things that are happening, we don't need to nitpick them, read
1:48:08
them and move on. They are what they are.
1:48:13
Let people think what they want to think.
1:48:16
But find the joy in all of it that we all get to coach these
1:48:21
wonderful diverse athletes whether they're diverse and
1:48:23
talent Iverson personalities or whatever.
1:48:25
It is, just for Joyce, didn't take a breath smile, at it, keep
1:48:31
scrolling. Well said, I'll go next.
1:48:39
We are celebrating 50 years of athletic to the University of
1:48:43
Florida and I think most of the world knows that we want our
1:48:51
second in CA into a championship in school history here, I want
1:48:55
to give heartbeat props two, female coaches, who were for me,
1:49:03
Miss Carol Thompson. It's Lacey O'Neill and coach Bob
1:49:07
Kearney who actually won the title.
1:49:10
Last, the first item, we were one year indoors and 30 years
1:49:13
ago. You know, they blazed the trail
1:49:17
when they were doing this. They face a lot more obstacles
1:49:21
that I currently face and it's not for them and their hard
1:49:26
work. We might not have a woman tried
1:49:28
to talk to a program that University of Florida.
1:49:29
So, Laura popsicles, those three wonderful ladies and I hope that
1:49:33
they're all doing well. I'm sure no one will see this
1:49:35
baby. I don't talk about it, the more
1:49:40
I need the money, help your the EP I am.
1:49:46
So I do Harvey props or Petty Harpy crops I mean there's
1:49:51
absolutely no question. You should do Penny Harpy props
1:49:54
because you're peddling. All right, so my heartbeat props
1:49:58
this week go out to the State of Florida.
1:50:01
I take a lot of shots at State of Florida, usually in jest.
1:50:05
But two incredibly positive things happened in the State of
1:50:09
Florida this week one. From a track of field
1:50:14
perspective, it was announced that starting next year.
1:50:18
The State of Florida is going to move to 400 meter hurdles for
1:50:22
high school athletes Bravo. Thank thank you.
1:50:27
Whoever is responsible for that standing ovation and let's hope
1:50:32
it spreads like yes. Yes spread like Florida covid
1:50:35
please. Yeah, yeah.
1:50:44
Zero that is number 2. It was announced today.
1:50:50
More positivity from the state of Florida, that Bruce Arians
1:50:54
who single-handedly has done more to promote the plight of
1:50:58
black coaches. In the NFL has done his next
1:51:01
step, he is stepping quote-unquote aside or stepping
1:51:05
up stairs, moving in, you know, to the executive level to clear
1:51:11
way for Todd Bowles who was just been announced.
1:51:13
As the new head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers so Props to
1:51:18
Bruce Arians for doing that. And then because it's Florida,
1:51:24
there has to be a negative, right?
1:51:26
Whoever that child is that assaulted?
1:51:31
The miler. In high school meet.
1:51:35
I hope he's in jail and if he's not in jail, y'all better find
1:51:39
him and put him in jail and charge him as an adult for
1:51:43
assault because that was insane. Hashtag, Florida.
1:51:50
Oh, okay, I'm gonna go ahead and and this this is pretty poor
1:52:01
polarizing. I think. but, I've thought about
1:52:08
this, and when it actually happened, you know, I had, I had
1:52:15
a moment, so my heartbeat props, go out to the men of the
1:52:20
University of Texas track and field. and what I want people to
1:52:28
understand is that those men that won the national indoor
1:52:33
title and I've had time to think about this, their names are
1:52:38
forever etched in the history, books of the University of
1:52:43
Texas, the fact that they're the first to win any title.
1:52:55
For the University of Texas in track in Men's Track and Field.
1:52:59
I mean, it's it's all at the same time.
1:53:03
Like what? As well as, wow, right?
1:53:10
And whether or not, you know, they follow this up Outdoors or
1:53:15
whatever their legacy is now sealed.
1:53:20
And I mean, I spent my collegiate career, looking to
1:53:25
knock Texas off their perch. That was, I mean, I was little
1:53:29
rice and I loved it. Absolutely loved it.
1:53:34
And You know. But, you know, I have to give
1:53:39
respect where it's due and, you know, I think, I think for a lot
1:53:45
of alums Texas alums that that burden, you know that they've
1:53:50
lived with because that trust me.
1:53:52
It is there. It's taken off their shoulders.
1:53:57
Now they can now say that they have finished their mission so
1:54:03
that's my hobby props. Well Stitch, I like it.
1:54:13
I don't be honest with y'all. Like I've thought about this
1:54:15
heartbeat props, probably for like six days and I've tussled
1:54:19
back and forth and back and forth and I settled on, probably
1:54:25
what most people are going to say is a cop-out and probably
1:54:28
cheesy because they don't really know me and they don't know
1:54:31
that. I don't really do cop-outs or
1:54:33
cheesy. What I'm going to say is like
1:54:37
truly heartfelt and it's how I feel my heartbeat props go out
1:54:43
to the people on this on these tiles because This show has
1:54:53
become a whole lot of things that none of us ever intended
1:54:56
for it to be all of them, good. But I think we've taken on a
1:55:02
role in the responsibilities that none of us ever thought we
1:55:05
would. you know, I don't know about you guys, but I've had
1:55:12
five different people say to me that during this pandemic, they
1:55:19
feel as if our show Saved their lives, Now, I think that's, I
1:55:29
don't know that that's far too High.
1:55:31
Praise In My Own brain, but I'm not gonna take anybody else's
1:55:36
words for anything other than gospel.
1:55:41
But I will say this, I don't I will not say that this show has
1:55:45
saved my life, but I will, I will without question you know
1:55:50
share my underbelly side enough with the rest of the world.
1:55:53
And say that this show definitely is one of the pillars
1:55:58
of my life and it has created a certain amount of calm and
1:56:02
structure and sameness that I look forward to every week and I
1:56:10
actually do it's taken a while for people to convince me of
1:56:13
this, but I actually do feel like the show is important and
1:56:16
what we do matters and I couldn't imagine doing this.
1:56:24
When any other people any other way?
1:56:26
And at this point I can't imagine doing my own life
1:56:28
without doing the show. So you all have lifetime
1:56:32
contracts and I hope and hopefully none of you want to
1:56:38
quit anytime soon. But I do have to second one
1:56:41
thing that coach Chu has brought up with us.
1:56:44
We do need to get with with Coach cheek and get him to redo
1:56:50
our intro. Because there are five of us He
1:56:54
will be happy to do it. I'm sending the absolute
1:56:57
located. So then you've just been given
1:56:59
that job Clyde, get ahold of Coach cheek, see if he can.
1:57:04
He can rework an additional verse and get the governor.
1:57:10
His props cannot change cannot change the beat not change.
1:57:17
Listen, I don't know about y'all, but listen, I'm gonna
1:57:20
tell y'all this again, here's a little factoid.
1:57:22
Underbelly of mine High. I watch most of the shows and I
1:57:29
cannot watch the show and I cannot listen to the show
1:57:32
without listening to the entire intro music.
1:57:35
Well okay, so full disclosure for the audience Chic made the
1:57:41
beat for us, it's him rapping on the thing about all I'd say
1:57:46
about a year in he sent us another one.
1:57:51
Yes he did. And we listen it's not like it
1:57:56
wasn't good because it was good. But if y'all if you watch power,
1:58:01
you remember when 50 made the decision to change the power
1:58:04
intro music, and the world was like, that is trash.
1:58:18
You want to we changing the beat Playboy.
1:58:25
All right on that. I'm not right now.
1:58:28
I guarantee you he's laughing. He's listen.
1:58:31
