Van Lathan breaks down Stephen A. Smith vs. Jason Whitlock beef, TSA airport Chaos | 03.25 · The Right Time with Bomani Jones

0:05
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the right time. A wave original.
0:09
Speaker 1: My name is Beaumont Jones. Thanks for listening wherever you
0:11
Speaker 1: get your podcast. Thanks for watching us on YouTube. Subscribe, like,
0:15
Speaker 1: rate us, review us, give us five stars. You only
0:17
Speaker 1: give us four stars. I'm inclined to believe you are
0:20
Speaker 1: a hater. And it is that time of week where
0:23
Speaker 1: we have a guest join us. Check him out on
0:25
Speaker 1: Ring of Tailgate. Check him out on Higher Learning. I
0:29
Speaker 1: mean this when I say that. I believe that Van
0:31
Speaker 1: Lathan right now is the most versatile talker that we
0:34
Speaker 1: have really just about anywhere.
0:38
Speaker 2: Oh man, I appreciate that, bro. Versatility is very, very
0:41
Speaker 2: important to me.
0:42
Speaker 3: That's, you know, and, I guess I'm versatile, but it's
0:44
Speaker 3: also just a ton of shit to talk about right now.
0:47
Speaker 4: No, there are, but you also can.
0:48
Speaker 1: Because, I mean, I admit that part of this is
0:51
Speaker 1: you can talk about all those things that I want
0:53
Speaker 1: to hear you talk about, and you are really good
0:56
Speaker 1: at talking about all kind of dumb shit that I
0:57
Speaker 1: don't really care about, and then movies, which are not
1:00
Speaker 1: dumb shit, but not necessarily my space. Like, I feel
1:03
Speaker 1: like we could drop you off at a bar, and
1:06
Speaker 1: whatever they on, you could go get on it.
1:09
Speaker 2: Well, that's kind of what podcasting is.
1:11
Speaker 3: It's trying to, like, make friends and meet people at
1:14
Speaker 3: a specific wavelength and ride that wavelength till you have
1:20
Speaker 3: an audience and a community that you've built.
1:22
Speaker 2: So I take a lot of pride in that.
1:23
Speaker 4: But to me- But not everybody can talk on all
1:26
Speaker 4: the podcasts.
1:27
Speaker 3: No, I get it.
1:28
Speaker 1: Like, I feel like at the Ringer, you ever hear
1:29
Speaker 1: Jimmy Jam tell that story about going to school with Prince? No.
1:33
Speaker 1: And like every instrument he tried to get on, it's like, damn,
1:36
Speaker 1: Prince is on that one too. Like there's somebody at
1:38
Speaker 1: the Ringer that's like, yo, I got this.
1:39
Speaker 4: And then they pull up and it's like, don't.
1:41
Speaker 5: He in here too.
1:43
Speaker 3: Well, I think to be real with you, at the ringer,
1:47
Speaker 3: and this is what we're finding out with our mutual friend,
1:50
Speaker 3: at the ringer, it's probably more of those Swiss Army
1:52
Speaker 3: Knives than at least has been, at least I've worked
1:56
Speaker 3: with before. At the ringer, if you a one-trick pony there,
2:02
Speaker 3: that one trick got to be fantastic.
2:05
Speaker 4: You and Bill getting together, I was like, oh, this
2:07
Speaker 4: will work. This is a strong pairing.
2:12
Speaker 2: He knew it too.
2:13
Speaker 3: I was kind of trying to feel my way around.
2:15
Speaker 3: But you know what? It was a really good situation
2:18
Speaker 3: in the beginning. The first podcast I did at The
2:21
Speaker 3: Ringer was Way Down in a Hole, which you heavily influenced,
2:25
Speaker 3: by the way. Heavily, heavily influenced Way Down in a Hole.
2:28
Speaker 3: Because the whole, now you've completely changed the internet. When
2:33
Speaker 3: we first started that, you don't actually talk about this
2:37
Speaker 3: that much. When we first started that podcast, the idea
2:40
Speaker 3: that Stringer Bell was a fuckboy, which Jamel got into,
2:46
Speaker 3: was kind of novel. I want you to go into
2:49
Speaker 3: wire lore now, though. There are legitimate YouTube videos. How
2:53
Speaker 3: dumb is Stringer? The top 10 dumbest things that Stringer did.
2:57
Speaker 6: Yes.
2:58
Speaker 3: I think it was me, because I would fight Jamel
3:01
Speaker 3: about this. I'd tell Jamel, like, you changed your age.
3:02
Speaker 2: She goes, no, I didn't. She's like, that actually comes
3:04
Speaker 2: from Bomani. And so, for me... It was hard for
3:08
Speaker 2: me to see at first because.
3:10
Speaker 3: Boy, when you grow up in the neighborhood, you want
3:13
Speaker 3: to believe that the smarty art nigga is.
3:16
Speaker 2: The smarty art nigga.
3:17
Speaker 3: You want to believe it so bad. The dude that
3:21
Speaker 3: come along and go, hey man, you heard about chemtrails?
3:24
Speaker 2: You like, oh shit, break it down. You know what
3:26
Speaker 2: I'm saying?
3:27
Speaker 3: And then it turns out that Stringer, even though he
3:29
Speaker 3: did make a lot of moves that were, I guess
3:32
Speaker 3: you could say were smart moves, he.
3:34
Speaker 2: He could see different things and stuff like that. There
3:35
Speaker 2: are certain things. He told D'Angelo, he said, hey, hold
3:39
Speaker 2: their pay.
3:40
Speaker 3: And the first people that don't buck up are the
3:43
Speaker 3: people that's probably snitching. He had some stuff. But most
3:46
Speaker 3: of the big things, total whiff, I couldn't see it.
3:49
Speaker 3: That's how I started at the ringer way down in
3:51
Speaker 3: the hole. And that kind of got me comfortable. And
3:53
Speaker 3: ever since then, it's kind of been smooth sailing.
3:55
Speaker 6: Yeah.
3:55
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie.
3:56
Speaker 1: I don't like, it sounds terrible when I say this,
3:58
Speaker 1: but I feel like I have had like a couple
4:00
Speaker 1: moments of legitimate cultural influence and I don't really talk
4:03
Speaker 1: about it that much.
4:04
Speaker 4: And I probably need to, cause it get forgotten. Cause
4:07
Speaker 4: I do agree.
4:08
Speaker 1: People was on a whole different kick about Stranger until
4:10
Speaker 1: I brought them this year truth. And that truth, that
4:13
Speaker 1: truth was before them and people saw.
4:15
Speaker 3: The other thing.
4:16
Speaker 1: The other thing is, I got y'all to stop saying
4:19
Speaker 1: that one dude's name out loud. You remember old boy, he, uh,
4:22
Speaker 1: he got a son right now.
4:24
Speaker 2: I got it.
4:25
Speaker 4: I got it.
4:26
Speaker 1: I got everybody to understand that that ain't a, that
4:29
Speaker 1: ain't going to be what we do.
4:30
Speaker 3: Nah, that was, that was me and you. That was
4:33
Speaker 3: after I had had him on a podcast and then
4:37
Speaker 3: me and you talked and that was more of like a,
4:41
Speaker 3: like a personal thing. And so that, that, me and
4:44
Speaker 3: you talk, even when I see what's going on now,
4:46
Speaker 3: I'm like, ah, somebody didn't get the memo.
4:47
Speaker 2: It is.
4:48
Speaker 3: Yeah.
4:48
Speaker 6: Yeah.
4:49
Speaker 1: Hey man, you know, Hey, look at, it ain't for
4:51
Speaker 1: me to, it ain't for me to be the one
4:52
Speaker 1: to tell you right now. Now we had a plan
4:55
Speaker 1: to just kind of talk about a few things with Van,
4:56
Speaker 1: but one just dawned on me. I generally stay out
4:59
Speaker 1: of this one, but I, I can't help it because
5:01
Speaker 1: I'm talking to you. And I really think that you're
5:04
Speaker 1: one of the few people. I think that we can
5:05
Speaker 1: actually have an interesting conversation about this. That is not
5:08
Speaker 1: just messy. Um, when are Stephen A and Whitlock, Just
5:13
Speaker 1: going to scrap it out.
5:16
Speaker 3: Shit.
5:18
Speaker 2: It seems like to me that that's what Stephen A wants.
5:22
Speaker 1: And for those who don't know, by the way, Whitlock
5:25
Speaker 1: went on Cam Newton's podcast, which, whoo, he said a
5:30
Speaker 1: bunch of wild shit over there.
5:33
Speaker 2: I didn't see it.
5:34
Speaker 4: Oh, man, I just saw clips.
5:36
Speaker 1: The big one was, the one clip I saw that
5:39
Speaker 1: let me know, okay, like, we're in something else. And Cam,
5:44
Speaker 1: who does Stephen A's show, I would not have booked
5:48
Speaker 1: that interview myself. And it seems very clear to me
5:50
Speaker 1: that Stephen A thinks that Cam should not have booked
5:52
Speaker 1: that interview, but whatever. But they would talk about that
5:55
Speaker 1: time that people saw Stephen A playing solitaire at the
5:59
Speaker 1: basketball game. And Whitlock said, Just say that you're gay
6:03
Speaker 1: and you don't like basketball.
6:05
Speaker 3: Wow.
6:06
Speaker 1: Both of those are like, is it just because it
6:08
Speaker 1: was Solitaire? I will admit, that's kind of like playing
6:11
Speaker 1: Pinochle or Gin Rummy.
6:13
Speaker 4: Or like all the games in the world.
6:15
Speaker 1: I remember Solitaire was the game we had to play
6:18
Speaker 1: on devices, right?
6:18
Speaker 2: It came with the joint. Yeah, yeah.
6:20
Speaker 4: Now he's playing it.
6:21
Speaker 6: All right.
6:22
Speaker 4: I saw this clip of Stephen A. And Stephen A.
6:25
Speaker 1: Said he started a GoFundMe for, and I quote, fat
6:29
Speaker 1: bastard lock because Stephen A. ain't heard nothing about we
6:32
Speaker 1: ain't supposed to talk about fat people like that.
6:34
Speaker 4: And then said, do you need some money, bro?
6:36
Speaker 1: Reach in his pocket, pull out his wallet and threw
6:40
Speaker 1: bills on the floor.
6:42
Speaker 4: And I assure you they were not fives.
6:44
Speaker 3: Nah, nah. Let me tell you what I learned about
6:46
Speaker 3: Stephen A. and his retort in this entire deal. So,
6:50
Speaker 3: I don't know how much I've ever learned about basketball
6:53
Speaker 3: watching First Take or learned about football, learned about none
6:55
Speaker 3: of that stuff. ESPN got a lot of great shows
6:58
Speaker 3: where you go on the show and you learn a
7:00
Speaker 3: shit ton about what they talking about. I think ESPN's
7:02
Speaker 3: football coverage is the best in the business, right? And
7:05
Speaker 3: their basketball coverage too in different places. First Take is
7:07
Speaker 3: not about that. First Take is an entertainment show where
7:10
Speaker 3: the personalities really drive the reason that you watch it.
7:13
Speaker 3: That's the reason why you watch it. You're not going
7:15
Speaker 3: to go there and learn what a RAM screen is.
7:18
Speaker 3: or learn about different actions, or all of that, points
7:21
Speaker 3: per possession, all of that stuff, you're not going to
7:23
Speaker 3: learn that on first tape. But you are going to
7:25
Speaker 3: see really inciting basketball and football and sports culture discussions.
7:33
Speaker 3: I think in the response to Whitlock, I finally learned
7:37
Speaker 3: why Stephen A. is a one-of-one when it comes to that.
7:41
Speaker 3: Forget about the rhetorical nutrition of what was in there.
7:46
Speaker 3: Because there's really nothing that he can say about Jason
7:48
Speaker 3: Whitlock that we don't already know, right?
7:51
Speaker 2: He's not going to expose.
7:52
Speaker 3: Anything about Jason Whitlock that we never heard before or
7:55
Speaker 3: give us any new ideas about him.
7:56
Speaker 2: That's not going to happen.
7:57
Speaker 3: But what he can do is like paint a picture.
8:00
Speaker 3: And when you do that, you almost got to be
8:02
Speaker 3: like a writer director. The suit that he was wearing,
8:05
Speaker 3: that might be the best Stephen A. Smith has ever
8:06
Speaker 3: looked in a suit. The suit was cold.
8:08
Speaker 2: The suit was shiny.
8:10
Speaker 3: And so when he got around the table to sit
8:13
Speaker 3: on the suit, to sit on the table to show
8:16
Speaker 3: the suit off, he's going, yo, look at me. Look
8:20
Speaker 3: how crazy fly I look. Look at my studio. Look
8:24
Speaker 3: at my life. I'm not asking you guys to get
8:27
Speaker 3: with me or be on my side because Jason Whitlock
8:33
Speaker 3: isn't as smart as me or Jason Whitlock isn't as
8:37
Speaker 3: erudite as.
8:38
Speaker 2: Me or whatever.
8:39
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, who would you want to be? That
8:44
Speaker 3: was the thing. He's looking in the camera. He's not going,
8:46
Speaker 3: you know, I'm not saying none of this. He might
8:48
Speaker 3: be a fraud and all of that stuff. But look,
8:50
Speaker 3: who would you want to be? In this situation, like
8:54
Speaker 3: Max Kellerman says about scoring a boxing round, you could
8:57
Speaker 3: easily score the round by just saying, which guy would
9:00
Speaker 3: you rather be?
9:01
Speaker 2: And that's what Stephen A. did. And that's easy to understand.
9:04
Speaker 2: You don't have to translate that.
9:06
Speaker 3: Like, I watched it and I was like, oh, this
9:09
Speaker 3: is his attempt to sun him in a profound way.
9:13
Speaker 3: And last thing I'll say is, a lot of these
9:16
Speaker 3: media beefs, and they are getting to be just... It's
9:21
Speaker 3: absolutely just almost, it's an unfathomable amount of media beefs.
9:28
Speaker 3: I just can't, like, I can't gauge how many, you
9:32
Speaker 3: guys don't even understand. The ones that even don't come
9:34
Speaker 3: to the light where we all on text trying to
9:36
Speaker 3: stop people from going at each other. It's just like
9:38
Speaker 3: a completely different time in media that we're in right now.
9:40
Speaker 3: This one is different though. This one is different. This
9:43
Speaker 3: one is like, I'm not ruling out a TMZ headline
9:48
Speaker 3: three months from now, they saw each other somewhere and
9:50
Speaker 3: Stephen A put hands on them. They really don't like
9:54
Speaker 3: each other in a visceral way. And it comes across
9:58
Speaker 3: Stephen A with a scowl he's like he it's all
10:01
Speaker 3: it's totally different it's totally but whoa it's totally different
10:05
Speaker 3: bro it's totally different it's weird I don't know that I've.
10:08
Speaker 1: Seen one like this like I go back I go
10:12
Speaker 1: back with Whitlock I haven't talked to Whitlock in a
10:13
Speaker 1: very long time but I go back a long way
10:15
Speaker 1: with Whitlock that's your man huh At a time he
10:17
Speaker 1: was like, I tell people this all the time.
10:20
Speaker 4: Whitlock put me on in ways that nobody else did.
10:25
Speaker 5: Right.
10:25
Speaker 4: Like there's a.
10:27
Speaker 1: I don't talk about Whitlock that much in public because
10:31
Speaker 1: I was cool with him at a time where he
10:35
Speaker 1: did some fucked up things to other people.
10:37
Speaker 4: And I didn't say much about it because I was cool.
10:39
Speaker 2: Isn't that a bad situation to be in?
10:40
Speaker 4: Right, because I was cool with him at the time, right?
10:42
Speaker 1: Yeah. But if I didn't say that he was fucking
10:46
Speaker 1: up then, I am not the appropriate narrator to say
10:50
Speaker 1: he's fucking up now.
10:51
Speaker 4: You understand what I'm saying?
10:52
Speaker 2: I get it.
10:53
Speaker 4: Like, that would, I don't know, that doesn't sit right
10:56
Speaker 4: with me.
10:56
Speaker 1: And, like I said, there are a lot of people
10:59
Speaker 1: in this game that I know, I don't get on
11:01
Speaker 1: with Dan, if.
11:02
Speaker 4: Not for Whitlock, in all likelihood. Like, that's a big
11:04
Speaker 4: part of it.
11:05
Speaker 1: Somewhere along the way, that all changed, right?
11:07
Speaker 4: But I'm not going to say.
11:09
Speaker 1: The things that are bad to say about Whitlock, people
11:13
Speaker 1: don't need me to say them.
11:14
Speaker 4: They're self-evident, right? Like, I don't want to have an
11:16
Speaker 4: observation necessarily.
11:18
Speaker 1: But I bring all that up to say I know
11:22
Speaker 1: why Stephen A does not fuck with him. Like, I
11:26
Speaker 1: specifically understand what... I know when it really went, right?
11:33
Speaker 3: And.
11:33
Speaker 1: I don't blame Stephen A for how he feels. I
11:37
Speaker 1: don't really understand what it is on Whitlock's end that
11:40
Speaker 1: he has such a problem with Stephen A Smith on.
11:43
Speaker 4: Right.
11:43
Speaker 1: Like on that other side, I don't get it. I
11:45
Speaker 1: get where Stephen A comes from. We see what it
11:48
Speaker 1: looks like with Stephen A is TV man or like
11:51
Speaker 1: TV charged up about some topic.
11:53
Speaker 4: Or whatever it is that he's going to say. Like,
11:55
Speaker 4: for example.
11:56
Speaker 1: Stephen A does not like LeBron James. He's honest about
12:00
Speaker 1: the fact that he doesn't like LeBron James. I think
12:01
Speaker 1: he gets a bad rap for like how much he
12:03
Speaker 1: talks about it because he keeps going on. He won't
12:05
Speaker 1: turn an interview down. So he goes and does interviews
12:07
Speaker 1: with people who only go talk to him once in life.
12:09
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh, ask him about LeBron James. And
12:11
Speaker 1: he'll answer every question.
12:13
Speaker 6: Right.
12:13
Speaker 1: So it seems like he always talks about him. My
12:15
Speaker 1: point is simply this. He don't sound nearly as mad
12:19
Speaker 1: talking about LeBron James as he sounds when he talks
12:22
Speaker 1: about Whitlock. And we know he can't stand LeBron. He
12:27
Speaker 1: hates Whitlock.
12:28
Speaker 4: Hates him.
12:30
Speaker 1: What gets me about it, and I think you hit
12:32
Speaker 1: it earlier when you talked about media beefs, is I
12:35
Speaker 1: don't know what somebody would have to say about me
12:38
Speaker 1: in this business for me to make content out of it.
12:41
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a level at which we are
12:44
Speaker 1: all above this, but people love it. If you go
12:47
Speaker 1: look at the numbers on all that stuff, people eat
12:50
Speaker 1: this stuff up when we get.
12:51
Speaker 2: To arguing with each other.
12:54
Speaker 1: Yeah.
12:54
Speaker 3: I mean, that's in anything, right? It's like I deer
13:02
Speaker 3: hunted my entire childhood, right? My whole childhood, I deer hunted.
13:09
Speaker 3: And there's something that you do to call deer deer.
13:12
Speaker 3: And you take two horns and you rattle them. You
13:14
Speaker 3: rattle the deer to you. There's all kinds of different
13:15
Speaker 3: things you can do to call deer. Deer calls. You
13:19
Speaker 3: wear the deer spray. Sometimes we would take a little
13:21
Speaker 3: deer piss and put it on us. Okay? During a rut,
13:24
Speaker 3: you put deer piss on yourself. During a rut, the
13:27
Speaker 3: deer comes to you. But one thing you do is.
13:29
Speaker 2: You rattle the deer. Take two rattles and you rattle.
13:32
Speaker 3: And the reason why that calls deer is because the
13:34
Speaker 3: other deer think that two deer are fighting.
13:35
Speaker 1: Okay?
13:37
Speaker 2: The other deer think that two deer are fighting.
13:40
Speaker 4: They got to come see it.
13:41
Speaker 3: What's going on? What's happening? You rattle them up and
13:45
Speaker 3: they think that two deers are locking horns. This is
13:47
Speaker 3: something that's territorial during the rut. They're fighting for a doe,
13:50
Speaker 3: the whole nine, whatever. So you rattle and a deer
13:54
Speaker 3: come by. I asked my dad, I'm like, dad, why
13:57
Speaker 3: would that make two deer come? He's like, well, shit,
13:59
Speaker 3: everybody wants to stop and watch a fight. We get
14:01
Speaker 3: them over there, they stop and watch the fight. Boom!
14:03
Speaker 3: We hit them with the goddamn 30-06. But what I'm
14:09
Speaker 3: saying is that I understand. I'm not pure in this.
14:12
Speaker 3: I worked at TMZ for nearly a decade. So for me, personally,
14:16
Speaker 3: the calculus is always for me right now, at this
14:20
Speaker 3: point in my career, just a back and forth, it
14:23
Speaker 3: has to be about more than just personality. It has
14:27
Speaker 3: to be about, it has to be nutritious for me.
14:29
Speaker 3: If there's like something that I've said or something that
14:31
Speaker 3: I've done or something that someone else has said or
14:33
Speaker 3: done that I can then sort of pull back on
14:38
Speaker 3: and expose the analysis in a way that is more meaningful,
14:42
Speaker 3: I'll do it. But the people that I don't like
14:44
Speaker 3: in this industry or I don't like jive with or
14:47
Speaker 3: get along with, I really try to ignore them and
14:50
Speaker 3: stay out of their way because I'm too emotional. Like
14:53
Speaker 3: a lot of this stuff, Stephen A also has an
14:56
Speaker 3: ability and a lot of people at this level have
14:58
Speaker 3: an ability to, that is really underrated. It's an ability
15:02
Speaker 3: to be personal, but not be consumed by it. So
15:07
Speaker 3: I don't think that Stephen A. somewhere right now is going, yo,
15:10
Speaker 3: the next time I catch Whitlock, I'm a... Like, I
15:13
Speaker 3: don't think he's being that way. I think that could
15:15
Speaker 3: happen if he saw him, but I really do think
15:18
Speaker 3: he gets into that on a Thursday, and then on
15:20
Speaker 3: a Friday, he's on to the next thing.
15:23
Speaker 2: I ruminate. I get obsessed. I'm like, yo, is this.
15:26
Speaker 3: Like, it gets to me. in a way that it
15:29
Speaker 3: doesn't get to other people. I don't think that it
15:30
Speaker 3: gets to him that way. I do think, though, that
15:33
Speaker 3: if he ever ran into Jason Whitlock, that the animus
15:38
Speaker 3: is deep enough that something would happen.
15:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the thing with Whitlock is Whitlock don't really
15:43
Speaker 4: get mad.
15:45
Speaker 1: Like, think of all the times you've seen Whitlock and
15:47
Speaker 1: things you've seen Whitlock talk about.
15:49
Speaker 4: It doesn't go like that. You know what I mean?
15:51
Speaker 1: It's not an up-down situation, which makes it worse when
15:53
Speaker 1: you get super hot, because that's when somebody says something that.
15:56
Speaker 4: Makes you really want to burn this motherfucking down, right?
15:58
Speaker 1: But I think the part that strikes me is I
16:02
Speaker 1: am amazed at how many people are able to make
16:07
Speaker 1: a living covering.
16:10
Speaker 3: Us, right?
16:12
Speaker 1: Nobody goes to a sports game to watch the refs.
16:15
Speaker 1: Nobody goes to watch the media. But when the game
16:18
Speaker 1: is over, I am shocked by how many people make
16:21
Speaker 1: their living I can name people that make a living
16:23
Speaker 1: talking about me, right? Like it floors me that people
16:27
Speaker 1: care that much, particularly about sports media. I know that
16:31
Speaker 1: there is some coverage around the other media worlds, and
16:34
Speaker 1: maybe I'm not as aware of the discussion because it's
16:36
Speaker 1: not about me. but they talk up in sports media
16:39
Speaker 1: in particular people talk about us so much more and
16:41
Speaker 1: now we at the player part of it and so
16:43
Speaker 1: the players they gonna have their back and forth with
16:46
Speaker 1: each other they gonna have the ones where they come
16:48
Speaker 1: at the media people maybe they don't like or whatever
16:50
Speaker 1: it is but it's like a wrestling shoot every time
16:54
Speaker 1: it feels like somebody decides to log on and get
16:57
Speaker 1: the thing cracking like with steven a that was a
17:00
Speaker 1: long ass shoot like you were wrestling duke You.
17:03
Speaker 4: Know, that was a long-ass shoot.
17:06
Speaker 1: And I just can't... Nobody can ever say that I
17:10
Speaker 1: take myself too seriously because clearly there are other people
17:14
Speaker 1: out here that take me way more seriously than that.
17:17
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know that they care about you as
17:20
Speaker 3: much as they care about mess. And the way I
17:23
Speaker 3: know this, or the reason why I suspect this is
17:27
Speaker 3: because of me. I'm on YouTube. And I'm looking around
17:33
Speaker 3: on YouTube. I watched a video yesterday. The video was
17:36
Speaker 3: 15 minutes and it was about Brendan Schaub. Like Brendan Schaub,
17:41
Speaker 3: the MMA fighter who also became a comedian, the fighter
17:47
Speaker 3: and the kid, the whole nine. It was a 15
17:49
Speaker 3: minute video about Brendan Schaub and it was all of
17:52
Speaker 3: this shit that had happened. Apparently Brendan Schaub tried to
17:55
Speaker 3: hit on a comedian's wife or something. I don't know.
17:58
Speaker 3: It was all of this shit that happened like last
17:59
Speaker 3: year or the year before two years ago.
18:01
Speaker 2: They made a song out of it. The song was
18:04
Speaker 2: called Trug Walk.
18:05
Speaker 3: It was based on Plug Walk, because apparently Schaub had
18:09
Speaker 3: asked this girl to walk him out to his truck,
18:12
Speaker 3: and she felt like he was asking her to walk
18:16
Speaker 3: out there because he wanted to get a blowjob or
18:18
Speaker 3: something like that. It was a whole thing. Here's the point.
18:22
Speaker 3: I don't give a fuck about none of this. You
18:24
Speaker 3: are riveted. I was.
18:27
Speaker 7: Enthralled.
18:30
Speaker 3: Now, there were famous people involved in this that I knew, right?
18:32
Speaker 3: There were names like Bobby Lee was involved, like all
18:35
Speaker 3: these different comedians, and I knew those names, but that's
18:37
Speaker 3: not why I was watching. I was watching because this
18:40
Speaker 3: ended up being a fucking opera of mess. An opera
18:46
Speaker 3: of mess. And then it led into... Like how Brendan
18:50
Speaker 3: Schaub is considered now. Is Brendan Schaub? And then I thought,
18:53
Speaker 3: wait a minute. They at war in Iran. I need
18:55
Speaker 3: to watch some other fucking shit right now. What the
18:57
Speaker 3: fuck am I doing? But I just think the Internet
18:59
Speaker 3: is such fertile ground for narrative creation and also for
19:05
Speaker 3: playing on our basis instincts, which is if you rattle horns,
19:10
Speaker 3: deer come to see what's up.
19:12
Speaker 2: And if two people are into it, we want to
19:14
Speaker 2: know why.
19:15
Speaker 4: Yo, so it's so.
19:16
Speaker 1: I think that last part really drove something home for
19:19
Speaker 1: me that I think is interesting. And I've been reading
19:21
Speaker 1: all these different things about the internet driving our base
19:24
Speaker 1: impulses and how these people have figured out that, like,
19:27
Speaker 1: rage is what really drives the ship, right? Like, rage
19:31
Speaker 1: is where... Making people mad. People can't help it. They
19:34
Speaker 1: keep coming back to it. But you are right in
19:37
Speaker 1: that some for real... complicated mess, that is, that's hard
19:47
Speaker 1: to pass up, man. Like mess that has actual factual
19:50
Speaker 1: layers to it, no matter what it is. If you
19:52
Speaker 1: see something that is like a progressive chain of mess,
19:56
Speaker 1: and we have the situation where longer, you know, a
19:59
Speaker 1: big part of it is with the internet, people decide
20:01
Speaker 1: to make it public because they want the attention.
20:03
Speaker 4: So now it comes up for everybody else. But like,
20:05
Speaker 4: I ever tell you about the time I.
20:07
Speaker 1: Was at the airport, And this white man had all
20:09
Speaker 1: these people trying to beat him up. And I couldn't
20:11
Speaker 1: figure out what it is. And it turned out that
20:14
Speaker 1: he had called somebody at the N-word.
20:16
Speaker 4: And then he did it at Hartsfield.
20:18
Speaker 2: Oh, shit.
20:19
Speaker 4: Right, right, right.
20:20
Speaker 2: This motherfucker got a death wish.
20:23
Speaker 4: And so he does it at Hartsfield.
20:24
Speaker 3: What the fuck?
20:25
Speaker 1: And so he does it at Hartsfield. And somebody tried
20:28
Speaker 1: to get him. And it was some army cats. And
20:30
Speaker 1: they were holding the dude back. And then somebody else
20:32
Speaker 1: got heated enough to try to get him again.
20:35
Speaker 4: And, you know, there was a little back and forth
20:37
Speaker 4: or whatever. Then finally the white man started walking away.
20:39
Speaker 1: And for some reason, I just decided to follow him
20:41
Speaker 1: because I figured that the mess wasn't over yet.
20:44
Speaker 4: And so I just kept walking.
20:45
Speaker 1: He went into the Hudson news and he was talking
20:48
Speaker 1: to the black people that were black women that were
20:50
Speaker 1: working in the Hudson news. And he was talking about
20:53
Speaker 1: how these people were trying to beat him up. And
20:55
Speaker 1: it was all, it was giving him the sympathy or whatever.
20:57
Speaker 1: And I couldn't help it, man. I just popped up
20:59
Speaker 1: and I was like, Hey man, he called a couple
21:02
Speaker 1: of people, the N word over there.
21:03
Speaker 4: And they were like, what?
21:04
Speaker 1: And he kept talking to stuff about my brother works
21:06
Speaker 1: for the FBI. Like his brother was going to save
21:09
Speaker 1: him and everything else.
21:10
Speaker 4: But I only followed him. Cause I was like, How
21:13
Speaker 4: is this going to resolve itself?
21:14
Speaker 1: I think that was the part that I needed, was
21:18
Speaker 1: how is this going to end? With the media beef,
21:22
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a how does it end question.
21:24
Speaker 1: It's just the back and forth that comes out of it.
21:27
Speaker 1: But if you give me something where I'm like, huh,
21:29
Speaker 1: I kind of got to know how that wraps up. Yep,
21:31
Speaker 1: I could probably stick around. That's why threads catch on.
21:34
Speaker 1: Not the site threads, but just the idea of threads.
21:36
Speaker 3: Yeah. Like, we are all like slaves to story. Speaking
21:42
Speaker 3: of the N-word, we are, like, we are.
21:46
Speaker 2: Story gets people, man.
21:48
Speaker 3: It's just, like, we are this big combination of all
21:52
Speaker 3: of these factors. We keep telling the same stories over
21:55
Speaker 3: and over every single generation. We always have a story
21:59
Speaker 3: for someone. You always have a story for what went
22:02
Speaker 3: right in your life and what went wrong in your life.
22:05
Speaker 3: And neither story is 100% accurate, right? You remember the
22:08
Speaker 3: people that helped you in... a little bit grander of
22:12
Speaker 3: a way than they probably actually did sometimes. You remember
22:14
Speaker 3: the people that harmed you in a little bit more
22:18
Speaker 3: sinister way than it probably was at the time because
22:22
Speaker 3: we are just used to telling ourselves stories. That was
22:24
Speaker 3: kind of the thing that I learned at TMZ more
22:27
Speaker 3: than anything else was that.
22:29
Speaker 2: You could take a.
22:32
Speaker 3: Video of LeBron James when he doesn't talk to the
22:36
Speaker 3: TMZ camera guy and still make a post out of it.
22:40
Speaker 3: Because number one is LeBron. Number two, the watch is expensive.
22:44
Speaker 3: Number two, the car is... Number three, the car is expensive. Like,
22:47
Speaker 3: what restaurant is he coming for? All of that stuff,
22:50
Speaker 3: just the story of the presence of LeBron James' life
22:54
Speaker 3: in that piece of video, right, that is meaningful to people. Like,
22:58
Speaker 3: I started looking at, like, what people are interested in differently.
23:03
Speaker 3: And they just want to know. Like, people legitimately, they
23:05
Speaker 3: were just an inherent... curious species like we just want
23:10
Speaker 3: to know and so when you see two people arguing
23:12
Speaker 3: or fighting what the fuck happened if it resolves itself
23:16
Speaker 3: cool if it doesn't resolve itself kind of even better
23:20
Speaker 3: because that means it's got a second act and a
23:22
Speaker 3: third act this thing between the fucking whitlock and steven
23:27
Speaker 3: a they gonna be they're they're older black men now
23:30
Speaker 3: they're gonna be elderly black men Remember some years ago
23:35
Speaker 3: when there was two Canadian hockey or football guys on
23:39
Speaker 3: the stage?
23:40
Speaker 2: Remember this?
23:41
Speaker 4: And they started scrapping.
23:43
Speaker 2: In their 70s.
23:46
Speaker 3: I did as much work on that as I could
23:49
Speaker 3: at the time, and it's already jumped out of my mind.
23:51
Speaker 2: It's just who we are.
23:52
Speaker 3: The question now is that how cynical do you want
23:55
Speaker 3: to be with your platform as far as indulging into that?
23:59
Speaker 3: Because you could. You don't have to be smart. You
24:02
Speaker 3: don't have to be funny. You don't have to have observations.
24:05
Speaker 3: You don't have to be brave anymore. You just have
24:08
Speaker 3: to be willing to get super duper dirty and YouTube
24:12
Speaker 3: will pay you for the rest of your life.
24:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, people being wildly angry never stops being funny.
24:19
Speaker 1: But anybody, it almost doesn't matter why, anybody that feels
24:23
Speaker 1: on site about somebody... is going to be hilarious, right?
24:27
Speaker 1: Because what you do is you try to get them,
24:29
Speaker 1: and the way to make it really funny is you
24:30
Speaker 1: get them talking about it, and then you try to
24:32
Speaker 1: change the subject, and that's not going to work, right?
24:35
Speaker 4: And then you just, hey, I got one more thing
24:36
Speaker 4: I want to say about that right fast.
24:37
Speaker 2: You know what else that nigga did? I didn't even
24:39
Speaker 2: tell you about this. I didn't even tell you about this.
24:41
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, no.
24:42
Speaker 2: We on it. Let's stay on it. I didn't even
24:43
Speaker 2: tell you about this.
24:45
Speaker 4: Like, you the one that brought it up.
24:47
Speaker 1: Yeah. Coming up next, speaking of people being very angry,
24:52
Speaker 1: me and Van going to talk about the airport and
24:54
Speaker 1: wait till he hears what I'm about to tell him.

26:13
Speaker 1: All right, we are back on the right time with
26:17
Speaker 1: Van Lathan and I just played a sound of a
26:20
Speaker 1: snippet of some music for Van Lathan and I'm going
26:23
Speaker 1: to tell you what that sound was that I just played.
26:26
Speaker 1: It is from a tweet that was just sent and
26:28
Speaker 1: somebody sent it to me and it has a video
26:32
Speaker 1: and the caption on the video is, lines at ATL
26:36
Speaker 1: TSA so bad, they brought out live entertainment. And so
26:40
Speaker 1: in the TSA line, that is a white woman in
26:44
Speaker 1: a black cocktail dress that got shinies on it, and
26:48
Speaker 1: she playing an electric fiddle to try to keep shit
26:52
Speaker 1: cool because them TSA lines in Atlanta, they've been talking
26:56
Speaker 1: about it's like three, four hours in there. I just
26:58
Speaker 1: told you that they'd be ready to scrap it. You
27:01
Speaker 1: know how mad you got to be to fight at
27:02
Speaker 1: the airport? The only person I've ever seen fight at
27:04
Speaker 1: the airport is Pac-Man Jones. And for what it's worth,
27:07
Speaker 1: I don't think he started it. But anyway, they got
27:11
Speaker 1: white girls in here playing music in line to try
27:14
Speaker 1: to keep everything cool. I went to the airport about
27:17
Speaker 1: 10 days ago.
27:19
Speaker 4: I left LaGuardia. I went to a mid-sized city.
27:23
Speaker 1: I was smooth on both ends, but I was over
27:26
Speaker 1: in the bougie lines at LaGuardia, right?
27:28
Speaker 6: Right.
27:29
Speaker 1: I was looking over there con Los Ordinarios, and the
27:33
Speaker 1: lines were getting a little longer. You could kind of tell. Brother,
27:37
Speaker 1: I've been looking at these videos, man. if I got
27:39
Speaker 1: to get there four hours early, I don't even want
27:42
Speaker 1: to go. Like I had a trip to take this
27:44
Speaker 1: week that turned into a train trip. Cause I was like, brother,
27:47
Speaker 1: I ain't missing my flight on the, imagine you wait
27:49
Speaker 1: three hours and you still don't get on.
27:51
Speaker 2: You still don't get on the plane. It's tough. It's tough.
27:53
Speaker 3: It's always, flying is always stressful enough. Like, you know,
27:58
Speaker 3: I fly now and I do the whole Delta one thing.
28:00
Speaker 3: And it's actually a lovely experience.
28:02
Speaker 2: Right. But then like this, this how fucked up I was.
28:06
Speaker 2: It's facts. It's like lovely.
28:07
Speaker 3: Like I, Delta One is so great, and I'm not
28:10
Speaker 3: sponsored by Delta One, but Delta One is so great.
28:12
Speaker 3: It actually makes me wonder why anyone would.
28:17
Speaker 2: Fly private, right? Why anyone would fly private. It's very nice.
28:20
Speaker 2: But even when you go there now, they have to.
28:21
Speaker 3: Take you up and you have to do the other
28:23
Speaker 3: TSA line and all of that stuff.
28:25
Speaker 4: Oh, that's right, because they got the Delta One line now.
28:27
Speaker 3: Because they got their own security, their own Delta One
28:29
Speaker 3: thing down there, right? But now they don't have that anymore,
28:32
Speaker 3: so you got to go somewhere else. I'm like, this
28:34
Speaker 3: fucking political strife and unrest is really fucking with my
28:36
Speaker 3: fucking comfort. Oh, my God.
28:39
Speaker 4: You 1%-ed the fuck out of this one, brother.
28:42
Speaker 2: It's not true.
28:42
Speaker 3: I'm just telling people how I live now. This is
28:45
Speaker 3: an apartment, but I do fly Delta 1. Okay, so, like,
28:49
Speaker 3: come on.
28:50
Speaker 2: Give me a break. So, look, this is what I'll say.
28:54
Speaker 3: When I... And my brain....
28:58
Speaker 2: My brain can only look at the tremendous amount of dysfunction.
29:01
Speaker 3: When I see that, I think about the guys on
29:04
Speaker 3: the Titanic that when the ship was sinking... that they
29:08
Speaker 3: were still trying to, remember that? They were still trying
29:11
Speaker 3: to play the violin. Remember, if you guys ever saw
29:14
Speaker 3: the movie Titanic, the ship is sinking, and as the
29:19
Speaker 3: ship is sinking, they're the guys, and what they're hired
29:23
Speaker 3: to do is, their whole thing was to play mood
29:27
Speaker 3: music on the Titanic. They played it in the dining hall.
29:29
Speaker 3: They played it out on the deck. There would be
29:33
Speaker 3: nice violin music and stuff like that. Well, the boat
29:36
Speaker 3: is actually sinking, and these guys are not going to
29:40
Speaker 3: be able to get on a life raft. So what
29:43
Speaker 3: they do is, while this whole thing is going down,
29:47
Speaker 3: our one job is to continue to play this music.
29:50
Speaker 3: So we're actually going to play music to the sinking
29:54
Speaker 3: of the actual ship. While some people are going to
29:56
Speaker 3: lose their lives, we're going to give them a little
29:59
Speaker 3: bit of comfort while this entire dysfunctional thing plays out
30:03
Speaker 3: behind us. That's how I feel about that. And that's
30:06
Speaker 3: what we're doing in more cases than just that. We are.
30:09
Speaker 3: We are. As these tremendous societal problems get mainstreamed and mainlined,
30:15
Speaker 3: we are trying to flag football players versus NFL our
30:19
Speaker 3: way out of it.
30:20
Speaker 2: We're trying to Drake versus Kendrick our way out of it.
30:23
Speaker 4: Content.
30:24
Speaker 3: We're just looking for something to take our minds off
30:27
Speaker 3: the fact that it is actually happening, guys.
30:31
Speaker 4: It is going down.
30:32
Speaker 2: We're losing the whole fucking thing. And we never really
30:34
Speaker 2: had it, right?
30:35
Speaker 3: Right.
30:36
Speaker 2: But the actual.
30:37
Speaker 3: Thing from the economic standpoint, from geopolitics, from just basic
30:44
Speaker 3: decency by... Not even decency. They were never decent. They
30:47
Speaker 3: don't even lie about being decent anymore. The whole thing
30:51
Speaker 3: is turning, but we just have to concentrate on something else.
30:54
Speaker 3: So while people are waiting in that line, and that woman,
30:57
Speaker 3: she's doing the right thing. She's polishing the brass on
31:00
Speaker 3: the Titanic. It's all going down.
31:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think that people underestimate how dire the
31:06
Speaker 1: situation is. I want to put a pin in that, though,
31:08
Speaker 1: because I have a thing about the TSA that I
31:10
Speaker 1: want to run by you, and I want to see it.
31:12
Speaker 1: if you think anything similar to what I think about this.
31:16
Speaker 1: So Ryan just sent me this tweet. It's from NBC News,
31:19
Speaker 1: and it's the call-out rates at TSA for various airports.
31:25
Speaker 1: These are the ones that they listed. Houston, H-O-U, so hobby, 40.3.
31:31
Speaker 4: 40%! Hartsfield, 37.4.
31:34
Speaker 1: Houston Intercontinental, shout-out to those of us who was there
31:40
Speaker 1: before it was Bush.
31:41
Speaker 3: 36.1.
31:41
Speaker 4: New Orleans, 34.9. JFK, 33.7.
31:42
Speaker 3: BWI, 30.4.
31:42
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh, 27.5.
31:43
Speaker 3: LaGuardia, 20.3.
31:44
Speaker 4: Philadelphia, 19.7. And Phoenix, 19.3.
31:57
Speaker 1: The Houston, Atlanta, Houston, New Orleans is what jumps out
32:01
Speaker 1: to me. I, as someone from Houston, I have been
32:04
Speaker 1: trying to find, is there a science to where they
32:09
Speaker 1: do and do not call out at these airports? And
32:12
Speaker 1: I will tell you this about Houston. Houston is about money.
32:16
Speaker 1: And what it's really not about is not getting money.
32:20
Speaker 1: Showing up to work and there ain't no check. I'm
32:22
Speaker 1: surprised even 40% of the people showed up at this airport.
32:27
Speaker 1: Atlanta at 37.
32:30
Speaker 4: New Orleans at 35.
32:31
Speaker 1: It's just hard for me to ignore the fact that
32:34
Speaker 1: the top of this list is some blackity black ass cities, brother.
32:38
Speaker 4: What the fuck is this? And by the way, I
32:41
Speaker 4: don't know where I've been where TSA is not.
32:43
Speaker 1: TSA is typically pretty blackity black no matter where it is.
32:47
Speaker 1: But in those places, we ain't coming. We are just
32:51
Speaker 1: letting you know right now. If it ain't no check,
32:53
Speaker 1: we ain't coming.
32:55
Speaker 3: TSA is so black that it's good for my self-esteem.
33:00
Speaker 3: Because if I'm having a bad day and I got
33:03
Speaker 3: to fly, I know I'm going to get love when
33:05
Speaker 3: I'm going through TSA. When I'm going through TSA, I'm
33:09
Speaker 3: going to get love, man. I always get love from
33:11
Speaker 3: my people at TSA. Hey, man. Hey, bro.
33:13
Speaker 2: I'm not going to blow your shit up with that
33:14
Speaker 2: Kanye shit. I'll fuck with that shit up. Put your
33:17
Speaker 2: hands up. Turn around.
33:20
Speaker 3: Okay, cool.
33:20
Speaker 2: Appreciate you. Keep doing your thing, man. I'll see you
33:22
Speaker 2: next time. I always love... And it's just interesting, right?
33:26
Speaker 3: Like, all of these powerful people at the top, and
33:30
Speaker 3: you're going to ask these people that's coming from, I
33:33
Speaker 3: don't know, man, the wards in Houston, South Baton Rouge.
33:38
Speaker 3: We ain't got no airport like that. But, you know,
33:40
Speaker 3: the Ninth Ward, New Orleans, you're going to ask these
33:42
Speaker 3: people to come to work and not get paid with
33:45
Speaker 3: no guarantee of when they are going to get paid. Bruh,
33:50
Speaker 3: it's parties to be had, it's kicking it to be done,
33:55
Speaker 3: it's Madden to be played, it's books to be read,
33:58
Speaker 3: it's a lot of things to do that's a better
34:01
Speaker 3: option than going to work at the airport if you
34:05
Speaker 3: not fucking making no money. What the shit? It's a
34:07
Speaker 3: lot of shit.
34:09
Speaker 1: I tell you this, apparently Delta is sick of this shit.
34:13
Speaker 4: Let me find this thing.
34:14
Speaker 1: I saw it from the report of the Atlanta Journal
34:16
Speaker 1: of Constitution.
34:18
Speaker 4: Congressional staff or not.
34:19
Speaker 1: News congressional staff is not going to like Delta is
34:22
Speaker 1: suspending its special congressional desk service for members of Congress
34:26
Speaker 1: until the shutdown is over.
34:27
Speaker 4: It's like, yo man, we got to turn, they got
34:29
Speaker 4: to turn this back around on them.
34:31
Speaker 1: Like when I went to LaGuardia that day and the
34:33
Speaker 1: airport wasn't crazy, my thought was, oh, okay. Cause you just,
34:37
Speaker 1: New York can't stop. Then I looked up in New
34:39
Speaker 1: York has stopped. It looks like, like, Hey man, the
34:41
Speaker 1: stakes too high to be playing that game up here.
34:43
Speaker 1: I thought like we want to find one way or
34:45
Speaker 1: another to make this shit happen.
34:47
Speaker 3: I mean, what I try to do on Higher Learning,
34:52
Speaker 3: Rachel and I, is just let people know why this
34:55
Speaker 3: is happening.
34:56
Speaker 2: We could fund TSA right now if we wanted to.
35:00
Speaker 3: Even some Senate Republicans, John Thune has indicated that he
35:03
Speaker 3: is okay with a deal that funds all of DHS
35:10
Speaker 3: except for ICE and CBP. So there actually is a
35:14
Speaker 3: deal on the table, something that the Democrats... and some
35:17
Speaker 3: Senate Republicans have floated to the president, but the White
35:21
Speaker 3: House is dug in. They want to keep Congress there.
35:24
Speaker 3: They want to keep the fight about the SAVE Act going,
35:27
Speaker 3: and they don't want to have to give in to
35:29
Speaker 3: some of the reforms surrounding ICE that the Democrats want.
35:33
Speaker 3: These people could be getting paid. They could be getting paid.
35:36
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people saw kind of some
35:38
Speaker 3: of the things that happened in the last shutdown, and
35:40
Speaker 3: they were like, okay, well, let's attempt to close portions
35:43
Speaker 3: of this so that during this particular time when the
35:46
Speaker 3: summer's coming, the spring is coming. It was already summer
35:48
Speaker 3: in LA. The spring is coming. The summer is coming.
35:50
Speaker 3: People about to start traveling. Spring break is coming. Let's
35:53
Speaker 3: not cause this type of gridlock in the nation's airports.
35:57
Speaker 3: But once again, everything is political and these type of wars,
36:01
Speaker 3: the blood is going to be spilled by the average American.
36:05
Speaker 3: I mean, a lot of the people making these decisions
36:08
Speaker 3: are going to be able to opt for private planes,
36:10
Speaker 3: not those congressmen that you're talking about.
36:12
Speaker 2: They broke too. Some of them.
36:13
Speaker 3: Some of them are doing tremendous amounts of insider trading
36:16
Speaker 3: and are way up.
36:17
Speaker 2: You know what? Let me not say they broke, too.
36:18
Speaker 2: Make them seem like they us. They different. They making money.
36:21
Speaker 2: They selling books.
36:21
Speaker 3: They getting all kinds of crazy shit. But some of
36:23
Speaker 3: them aren't going to be as impacted by that as
36:26
Speaker 3: we will. We that are flying will be impacted, but
36:29
Speaker 3: more so the people that have to go work at
36:30
Speaker 3: the TSA, they will be impacted.
36:32
Speaker 2: But nobody gives a fuck about that. I got to
36:34
Speaker 2: watch more Brendan Shaw videos. I got to know what happened.
36:37
Speaker 4: When are we going to get our.
36:39
Speaker 3: I can stay on TSA, but I got to know
36:41
Speaker 3: what happened when Brendan Shaw went on the Joe Rogan
36:43
Speaker 3: experience just recently.
36:44
Speaker 4: Hey, man. It's coming close. April 5th is Resurrection Sunday.
36:53
Speaker 1: Will that be when we get our first full-on Donnybrook
37:00
Speaker 1: Pier 6... a.
37:07
Speaker 4: Show of brouhaha at the airport.
37:10
Speaker 1: Like, it's a matter of time before somebody starts.
37:12
Speaker 4: Scrapping it out. Like, here's the thing about the line
37:15
Speaker 4: at the airport, man.
37:16
Speaker 1: People in that motherfucker, for a number of reasons, some
37:19
Speaker 1: of them come with great trauma, anxiety, and people anxious
37:23
Speaker 1: anyway just about getting on planes, right? Somebody goes scrapping
37:28
Speaker 1: out on this motherfucker at some point.
37:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's... It happened and then would be funny. That's
37:36
Speaker 2: a funny idea right there. Yeah, of course.
37:39
Speaker 3: It's just a heightened place. We all know you're nervous
37:43
Speaker 3: to fly. You don't know what's going to happen at
37:45
Speaker 3: the airport. The airport itself is a target. All of
37:47
Speaker 3: this security exists because of all of this trauma that
37:50
Speaker 3: we have from witnessing some of the things that have
37:51
Speaker 3: happened in the past at the airport. There's still this
37:53
Speaker 3: post-9-11 haze that exists even though that's almost 30 years
37:57
Speaker 3: ago at this point. So it's like, It's just like
38:00
Speaker 3: travel itself is a stressful thing, and to add so
38:03
Speaker 3: much stress to everybody's lives, it's a cruel.
38:09
Speaker 2: Thing to do. But I do think that you're right.
38:11
Speaker 2: This is going to spill over somewhere.
38:12
Speaker 3: I guess the question for you is, based upon a
38:15
Speaker 3: lot of the statistics and information that you have, which
38:18
Speaker 3: city is going to be the city that.
38:21
Speaker 2: Breaks out into this Donnybrook?
38:23
Speaker 3: What do you think is going to happen?
38:25
Speaker 2: Is it New Orleans? Is it Atlanta? Is it someplace
38:27
Speaker 2: we don't think, right? Like, where is it going to happen?
38:30
Speaker 1: I think the fact that Atlanta is the first city that,
38:33
Speaker 1: to my knowledge, has brought out street performers, it implies
38:37
Speaker 1: to me that someone has recognized that the tension has
38:40
Speaker 1: built in such a way that we need to.
38:42
Speaker 4: Start smoothing this situation out.
38:45
Speaker 1: Like, what we need to figure out is the city
38:48
Speaker 1: where the airport has a greater collision rate.
38:53
Speaker 4: Of walks of life right because.
38:54
Speaker 1: That's the thing about atlanta atlanta got a lot of
38:58
Speaker 1: walks of life going through that oh i don't know
39:03
Speaker 1: what the situation currently is in las vegas but it's
39:06
Speaker 1: a little bit of everybody in las vegas and while
39:09
Speaker 1: las vegas is down that means that you can get
39:12
Speaker 1: a deal which changes who the demographics are that are
39:15
Speaker 1: in this line in las vegas and High percentage of
39:20
Speaker 1: people that have never been on a plane before, perhaps.
39:23
Speaker 4: You understand what I'm saying?
39:24
Speaker 3: Also, people who are fucking drunk and are coming right
39:29
Speaker 3: to the plane.
39:30
Speaker 2: After fucking going crazy. You see that in Vegas all
39:32
Speaker 2: the time.
39:33
Speaker 4: And losing all their money.
39:34
Speaker 2: Vegas used to be a house of horrors.
39:37
Speaker 4: It could be anything.
39:38
Speaker 2: It could be anything. And then there's people gambling in there.
39:41
Speaker 3: So you might have lost some bread and then went
39:46
Speaker 3: to wait on the long-ass line, and had a little
39:48
Speaker 3: liquor in you, Vegas is probably the answer.
39:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
39:53
Speaker 1: There's great room for bad things to happen at the
39:56
Speaker 1: gate in Vegas. I remember I flew out of Intercontinental,
40:02
Speaker 1: a bush in Houston.
40:03
Speaker 4: Me and my mama flew out of there last year.
40:04
Speaker 1: And so the thing about having all the airport hacks
40:08
Speaker 1: is you forget that not everybody has them.
40:10
Speaker 4: So I'm at the airport with.
40:11
Speaker 1: My then 81-year-old mother, And I'm showing up on the
40:16
Speaker 1: hack schedule. And then I look at her and I'm like,
40:18
Speaker 1: do you have a boarding pass? And she says, no,
40:22
Speaker 1: because she does not. She does not traffic in the
40:24
Speaker 1: world of technology in the ways that we do. So
40:26
Speaker 1: it's a little bit tight. You know, we got to
40:28
Speaker 1: go in. We got to print, you know, print a
40:30
Speaker 1: boarding pass. Yeah, we get all that stuff.
40:33
Speaker 4: And then I.
40:33
Speaker 1: Remember that we're in the line, you know, so we
40:36
Speaker 1: get in the regular line and I go with her
40:38
Speaker 1: and I put her stuff down. And then I showed
40:39
Speaker 1: the woman my boarding pass. And she says to me, well,
40:42
Speaker 1: you know, you could have gone the other line. I'm like, yeah,
40:44
Speaker 1: but I hear my mom.
40:44
Speaker 4: She's like, wow, you're a good son. I'm like, do
40:46
Speaker 4: you think that I was just going to go through
40:48
Speaker 4: the other line?
40:50
Speaker 3: And let your mom go through, what the? Can you
40:52
Speaker 3: imagine if somebody.
40:54
Speaker 1: Saw me do that and that wound up on the
40:57
Speaker 1: internet about how Bobati left his mama to go through
41:00
Speaker 1: that or whatever it was. But I always knew though,
41:03
Speaker 1: that as that went, my mama looks good for her age.
41:06
Speaker 1: but I could always pull that card if it came.
41:09
Speaker 1: Can we get a wheelchair? Can we get those things?
41:13
Speaker 1: But we got it done because she don't move as
41:14
Speaker 1: fast as she used to, so I did a walk
41:16
Speaker 1: with her. I got her to her gate. I did
41:19
Speaker 1: all of those things. But imagine being in a similar
41:22
Speaker 1: situation now and you're not with your older mother and
41:26
Speaker 1: you're trying to get through and this shit just going slow.
41:28
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? It's tight.
41:31
Speaker 3: Now, I got to say something. The video that you
41:34
Speaker 3: just described, Bro, I will watch that bitch. This will
41:37
Speaker 3: be the headline. It will say, Bomani Jones Abandons.
41:42
Speaker 2: And Abandons would be in caps.
41:44
Speaker 3: Yes. Abandons would be in all caps. Bomani Jones Abandons
41:50
Speaker 3: Mother in Airport. Lives the cozy life while she stands
41:54
Speaker 3: in line. And then some sister would come on, probably
41:57
Speaker 3: like with a septum ring. some sister would come on
41:59
Speaker 3: and she would go, I always knew this nigga, and
42:03
Speaker 3: it would be a picture of you, was trash. And
42:07
Speaker 3: I would watch the whole video and then I would
42:09
Speaker 3: just send it to you like, Bo, they talking about,
42:11
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying?
42:12
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about.
42:12
Speaker 3: That's funny. That's the type of shit that's funny. But
42:15
Speaker 3: you thought about it, you didn't do it. Look, I
42:17
Speaker 3: don't know how this.
42:17
Speaker 4: Shit is going to happen. I know, I did not
42:18
Speaker 4: think about it. I did not think about it. Oh,
42:21
Speaker 4: let me go ahead and get in here right now.
42:24
Speaker 4: And I ain't going to lie. literally every other one
42:29
Speaker 4: of you motherfuckers. I had to laugh.
42:33
Speaker 1: And I say that because my daddy don't fly no more.
42:36
Speaker 1: Every other one of you, I would have seen you
42:40
Speaker 1: on the other side.
42:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't have that problem with my father right now.
42:43
Speaker 2: That's not a concern. But it's okay. Dark humor, everybody.
42:48
Speaker 3: Just laugh. But yeah, look, man, I don't know how
42:52
Speaker 3: this shit is going to play out, but I know
42:54
Speaker 3: it's going to last for a lot longer. And now
42:56
Speaker 3: you didn't fuck with my brain so bad. I'm going
42:59
Speaker 3: to be like scanning the... There actually kind of was
43:02
Speaker 3: an incident. I feel like this was in San Francisco. But,
43:05
Speaker 3: you know, now they've kind of ratcheted things up by
43:07
Speaker 3: putting ICE, making ICE the TSA.
43:09
Speaker 4: Hey, I don't think that's a good idea, guys.
43:12
Speaker 3: No, one day we'll look on the fucking... It'll be
43:13
Speaker 3: like 12 dead. Like, so, I mean, now ICE is
43:17
Speaker 3: the TSA.
43:18
Speaker 4: Here's my question.
43:18
Speaker 2: What are they doing?
43:19
Speaker 4: Are they checking IDs? Like, what are they doing?
43:21
Speaker 2: I have no clue, bro.
43:22
Speaker 3: I wouldn't... I legitimately, when I say this, I legitimately,
43:26
Speaker 3: legitimately would not trust the ICE agents to walk my dog.
43:30
Speaker 2: And that's, I wouldn't. They will kill the dog. The
43:33
Speaker 2: dog will bark. They will execute the dog. They kick
43:35
Speaker 2: the dogs.
43:36
Speaker 3: They do all kinds of, I would not, ICE, I
43:39
Speaker 3: saw a sister and I don't know, you can't be
43:43
Speaker 3: masked in the airport, I guess. I guess the ICE
43:45
Speaker 3: agents that are in the airport are, they can't have
43:48
Speaker 3: a mask on. I don't think that it's the same
43:51
Speaker 3: because some of the ones I've seen in the airport,
43:53
Speaker 3: they don't have masks on. You are fucking brave. I
44:02
Speaker 3: see you and you are ice agent. I'm going to
44:06
Speaker 3: remember you, homie. I don't know how.
44:09
Speaker 2: I don't know when. I don't know how.
44:11
Speaker 3: We're going to do it, but that's.
44:16
Speaker 2: Like being the parking attendant people.
44:18
Speaker 1: Yo, can you imagine having a job where you got
44:20
Speaker 1: to hide your face? You Ron Simmons and Butch Reed.
44:23
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? And with them, everybody knew
44:26
Speaker 1: who it was. These cats, maybe you think you getting by, right?
44:30
Speaker 3: But you.
44:31
Speaker 4: Dang. And America love law enforcement.
44:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, they normally.
44:36
Speaker 3: But in this situation, they're kind of like a mascot
44:39
Speaker 3: for everything that's going wrong.
44:40
Speaker 4: You know what?
44:41
Speaker 3: Now that I think about it, in all my time
44:44
Speaker 3: in LA, LA, the parking is so bad that The
44:47
Speaker 3: parking attendant people are like a unique, a unique group
44:51
Speaker 3: of people that are kind of reviled out here. I
44:54
Speaker 3: don't know if these people are real. I've never known
44:55
Speaker 3: anyone that did that job. I never just like was
44:58
Speaker 3: hooping with somebody and was like, hey man, what you do?
45:00
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, I'm the parking enforcement people. I've just never,
45:03
Speaker 3: I've never, I've been out here 20 years. That's never happened.
45:06
Speaker 2: These people robots?
45:09
Speaker 3: Like, are they, what?
45:10
Speaker 2: I've never, this just occurred to me.
45:13
Speaker 3: I've never in L.A., met someone or been around someone,
45:16
Speaker 3: every other position that is available.
45:20
Speaker 2: I've known people working at the different car washes out here.
45:22
Speaker 4: What about the dog catcher?
45:25
Speaker 3: I knew a guy, I hooped with a guy who,
45:29
Speaker 3: it was so funny that he went from being a
45:31
Speaker 3: postman to working with.
45:34
Speaker 2: The animal people.
45:36
Speaker 4: He was working with the dog catcher.
45:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was. He went from being a postman because
45:42
Speaker 3: it was very funny. He went from being a postman.
45:45
Speaker 3: He was a letter carrier. He had been in the military.
45:47
Speaker 3: He went from being a postman, and then he became
45:51
Speaker 3: a part of, like, the dog catcher people here out here,
45:53
Speaker 3: the animal control. Animal control. He was a part of
45:56
Speaker 3: animal control. We used to always make fun of him.
45:57
Speaker 3: So I at least knew one of those guys.
46:00
Speaker 2: He's dead now.
46:01
Speaker 3: I at least knew one of those guys in 20 years.
46:05
Speaker 3: And in 20 years in L.A., I've never known someone
46:08
Speaker 3: that's like, yeah, I'm a parking attendant people.
46:10
Speaker 2: I wonder if those people are actually real.
46:12
Speaker 3: Yeah. Nah, airport.
46:14
Speaker 4: The day is coming. I got one last thing I
46:16
Speaker 4: want to ask you.
46:18
Speaker 1: And I'm going to do this for the people who
46:20
Speaker 1: listen to this show and have listened to this show
46:22
Speaker 1: for a while and know people who are part of
46:24
Speaker 1: this show who are family of sorts. And we pub
46:28
Speaker 1: it up. But a lot of people who don't know this,
46:29
Speaker 1: Van is the co-host of The Ring of Tailgate. And
46:32
Speaker 1: one of his co-hosts is our favorite hater, Joel Anderson.
46:36
Speaker 1: And so we were just kind of wondering, like, what's
46:38
Speaker 1: it been like for you to work with our good friend, Joel?
46:42
Speaker 1: Who my love, by the way. He helped me do
46:44
Speaker 1: an edit on an article I just wrote.
46:46
Speaker 3: So, Joel is to me, and it's not going to
46:52
Speaker 3: stay this way if I have any say. Joel to
46:55
Speaker 3: me is the best kept secret in this industry.
46:59
Speaker 2: Period. He's the best kept secret in this industry. I
47:02
Speaker 2: had no idea.
47:04
Speaker 3: I was on a pod with Bill maybe like two
47:07
Speaker 3: or three years ago and me and Joel were podding
47:10
Speaker 3: with Bill and all of a sudden Joe just started
47:13
Speaker 3: hating on LSU for no reason.
47:17
Speaker 2: Like, for no reason. He's like, hey, just to let
47:19
Speaker 2: you know, LSU ain't shit.
47:21
Speaker 3: And really, what's happened at LSU has been just recent.
47:24
Speaker 3: Before then, he's like, LSU is basically Texas Tech with
47:27
Speaker 3: a good run.
47:28
Speaker 2: I'm on the podcast. I'm like, yo, is this nigga
47:30
Speaker 2: talking to me?
47:31
Speaker 3: Because, like, I was such, like, I love slow burn.
47:38
Speaker 3: I say loved. I love it. I still listen to
47:41
Speaker 3: Slow Burn. It's such great work, right? Such a big
47:44
Speaker 3: fan of Joel Anderson. Used to hit Joel up and
47:46
Speaker 3: all of that stuff to tell him what a big
47:47
Speaker 3: fan of Slow Burn I was. This is back in
47:50
Speaker 3: the day. Me and Joel first got cool because I
47:53
Speaker 3: was listening to what he was doing at Slate on
47:57
Speaker 3: my walks and stuff like that.
47:58
Speaker 2: He did one about Edwin Edwards. Not Edwin Edwards.
48:00
Speaker 3: He did one about David Duke. A lot of people
48:02
Speaker 3: that I know from Louisiana are involved in that story
48:04
Speaker 3: and stuff like that going way back. He's been a
48:06
Speaker 3: big fan for a long time. When he did that,
48:08
Speaker 3: I was like, shit. First of all, I felt played
48:11
Speaker 3: as fuck that he did that on Bill's podcast. I
48:14
Speaker 3: just felt super played. Like, what is this nigga?
48:16
Speaker 2: Like, this nigga trying to get me out of my character?
48:18
Speaker 3: Then I came to love it so much because he
48:22
Speaker 3: is so unpredictable except for one thing. Whatever you love,
48:28
Speaker 3: he will assassinate. It does not matter what that thing is.
48:34
Speaker 3: Whatever it is that you love, I could say, man,
48:38
Speaker 3: I went to this place and I had the best
48:40
Speaker 3: fucking burgers ever. Joel's going to be like, man, them
48:43
Speaker 3: burgers small, they suck, and the cheese don't taste like
48:46
Speaker 3: it's real. Whatever you love, Joel will hate on it.
48:50
Speaker 3: And once you know that, it is just endless comedy
48:54
Speaker 3: on tailgate. It's just endless comedy, Bo. He doesn't know
49:00
Speaker 3: how to ignore a slight. Like, whatever anyone says, if
49:04
Speaker 3: you are the 50th person in the comments, you have
49:08
Speaker 3: legitimately 12 numbers next to your name.
49:13
Speaker 7: Claude 815-657-123-195251 and you say joel was off on this
49:21
Speaker 7: episode there is going to be a reply shut your
49:24
Speaker 7: whole ass up it is fucking amazing and i've never
49:29
Speaker 7: seen anything like it between that and everything and this
49:32
Speaker 7: just weird comic timing joel makes tailgate it i i
49:39
Speaker 7: lobbied and lobbied and lobbied and lobbied for us to
49:40
Speaker 7: do the pod we all put it together joe like
49:42
Speaker 7: all that stuff but it's become essentially essentially his podcast
49:47
Speaker 7: it's a complete vehicle for everything that he does.
49:49
Speaker 1: Well yo at once joel claims that i am responsible
49:56
Speaker 1: for this narrative of him being a hater joel sat
50:00
Speaker 1: up in this podcast and told me that Bun B
50:03
Speaker 1: needed to stop hanging out with me and start hanging
50:06
Speaker 1: out with him because he could not be friends with
50:09
Speaker 1: us both.
50:10
Speaker 4: Okay?
50:11
Speaker 3: Okay?
50:12
Speaker 4: But I created this narrative.
50:15
Speaker 1: I have heard this man say word for word, I
50:19
Speaker 1: am motivated by spite. His wife once posted on the
50:24
Speaker 1: internet the text exchange where Joel got a new job
50:28
Speaker 1: and immediately was like, I wish my old, I wonder
50:32
Speaker 1: what my old boss is going to think when he
50:35
Speaker 1: sees this.
50:36
Speaker 2: What the fuck, bro?
50:38
Speaker 4: He is powered by spite.
50:41
Speaker 3: So, my favorite Joel clip ever is when, for some reason,
50:47
Speaker 3: the Twitter handle, Reddit, I got, let me, okay.
50:51
Speaker 4: Is it Reddit CFB?
50:51
Speaker 1: Reddit CFB.
50:56
Speaker 2: So, Reddit CFB said something about Joel. I don't remember
51:00
Speaker 2: what it said.
51:02
Speaker 7: And so me and Tate and Billy, we're.
51:11
Speaker 2: Picking at Joe about it. And you guys go watch
51:13
Speaker 2: the clip.
51:14
Speaker 3: And Joe goes, that's the type of shit, that's the
51:17
Speaker 3: type of ho shit that Reddit CFP is on.
51:20
Speaker 2: And then he went, that's the.
51:21
Speaker 3: Type of ho shit that y'all support. I looked. I'm like, yo, bro.
51:32
Speaker 4: This nigga not acting.
51:33
Speaker 3: This nigga is really.
51:35
Speaker 2: Now, he gets back.
51:36
Speaker 3: He got back real quick.
51:38
Speaker 2: He's mad.
51:40
Speaker 3: It's in his face. And then all of a sudden,
51:42
Speaker 3: he just gets back. And he's laughing with us. But
51:45
Speaker 3: for that moment, those feelings, I'm actually sweating. Those feelings
51:51
Speaker 3: were 1,000% genuine.
51:52
Speaker 1: Man.
51:53
Speaker 2: Like, bro.
51:54
Speaker 3: Like, I hit Bill. I'm like, bro, this podcast is
51:56
Speaker 3: going to work. Like, this guy is something else. Like,
52:00
Speaker 3: this part, between me, Tate, and Joel, we're having so
52:03
Speaker 3: much fun, but Joel is different.
52:05
Speaker 2: Not only that, but just, like, the lore.
52:07
Speaker 3: Fastest 10-year-old ever in Texas, right? I invented Raiders of Peru.
52:14
Speaker 3: In America, fastest 10-year-old in America. Like, I invented raise
52:18
Speaker 3: the rim. All of this lore. I ran for 220
52:21
Speaker 3: yards on 13 carries against... And he was really nice
52:24
Speaker 3: when he was in high school. He was, like, super nice.
52:26
Speaker 3: But it's just, all of this stuff is funny. I'm
52:29
Speaker 3: having a lot of fun. And he's also, like, obviously incredibly...
52:33
Speaker 3: Talented writer, super smart, all of that. I don't give
52:35
Speaker 3: a fuck about none of that. He's just the funniest
52:39
Speaker 3: guy that I think that I've ever hosted a show with.
52:41
Speaker 6: I just needed you to share all of this as
52:44
Speaker 6: it is gone with him because you told me the
52:47
Speaker 6: Reddit CFB story and I was like, yep you you
52:50
Speaker 6: guys you guys are you guys and see the difference
52:53
Speaker 6: between you and me is i don't really be messing
52:55
Speaker 6: with joel i do kind of because i'm like i
52:58
Speaker 6: don't know where this might go right y'all y'all be
53:01
Speaker 6: messing with joel and it's also funny to me as
53:03
Speaker 6: i watch my buddy billy when billy started working on
53:06
Speaker 6: that show those billy gill used to work with levitar
53:08
Speaker 6: and when billy started working on the show i was
53:09
Speaker 6: like bless your heart dealing with joel it's like what
53:11
Speaker 6: do you mean i'm like no i love joel but
53:13
Speaker 6: then i came back later it was like i told you.
53:15
Speaker 2: Yeah He told me a story. I didn't realize how
53:19
Speaker 2: tight you guys were.
53:20
Speaker 3: He told me some of y'all's greatest hits, some stuff
53:25
Speaker 3: that y'all... He told me the live show story.
53:28
Speaker 2: He told me a bunch of other stuff. Yeah, he
53:31
Speaker 2: told me.
53:31
Speaker 3: That's my guy, man. Him and Billy's dynamic is really funny, too.
53:37
Speaker 3: Billy is another guy. Billy is super fucking funny.
53:40
Speaker 4: Yes, he's hilarious.
53:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, Billy's fucking funny. So we having a lot of fun.
53:44
Speaker 1: Billy is not monotone, but Billy uses the same voice
53:47
Speaker 1: for everything, which.
53:49
Speaker 4: Adds to the funny.
53:51
Speaker 2: And only changes his facial expressions.
53:53
Speaker 5: Yes.
53:54
Speaker 3: Same voice, but only he'll go, yeah, so the thing is,
53:59
Speaker 3: and he's using the same voice, but his face is changing.
54:02
Speaker 2: And that's hilarious for some reason.
54:04
Speaker 1: I have a content idea for you. I don't know
54:06
Speaker 1: if you've thought about it. I don't know if you
54:08
Speaker 1: can get the people to go along with it. You know,
54:11
Speaker 1: Billy's fast, too. Billy won the race against the Freeze
54:14
Speaker 1: in Atlanta.
54:16
Speaker 6: Oh!
54:18
Speaker 4: No, Billy's a D1 athlete.
54:20
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, he was a long jumper. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
54:23
Speaker 4: Billy's a D1 athlete. Y'all say he fast.
54:28
Speaker 2: Oh, shit. Bo, if you, you know what? Here's the thing.
54:32
Speaker 2: If you call the race.
54:34
Speaker 4: I'll do it.
54:35
Speaker 2: If you call the race.
54:36
Speaker 4: I'll do it.
54:37
Speaker 2: If we can do a crossover, if you call the race,
54:40
Speaker 2: I'll do it.
54:41
Speaker 1: We'll need to find a way to record promos and
54:45
Speaker 1: script this up. I think that we could have the
54:47
Speaker 1: ringer tailgate field day with the right time, and I
54:51
Speaker 1: just want to see them two dudes race against each other.
54:54
Speaker 3: You know what's interesting? I think that what I always
54:58
Speaker 3: wanted to do, I always wanted to have a regular guys' combine.
55:03
Speaker 3: Because one of the funniest things, I know we almost
55:06
Speaker 3: out of time, but I just got to say this.
55:08
Speaker 3: One of the funniest things is that if you go
55:11
Speaker 3: on your Twitter right now, it's you right now with
55:13
Speaker 3: all the followers you got, right? If you go on
55:15
Speaker 3: your Twitter right now and you just go, yo, what
55:18
Speaker 3: could y'all run into 40? Listen to the ridiculousness that
55:22
Speaker 3: will come back to you. Right now, I think I
55:24
Speaker 3: could probably foe six, foe seven, something like that. Foe
55:27
Speaker 3: five if I'm really in shape. And I'll just be
55:31
Speaker 3: under this shit. I'll be like, hey, just to let
55:32
Speaker 3: you know, Like, 4'5 is flying.
55:35
Speaker 2: Right.
55:36
Speaker 3: Okay? Like, you're on a fucking spaceship if you're on
55:39
Speaker 3: a 4'5. That's like, for us, like, you don't know. Like,
55:43
Speaker 3: 4'5 is flying in the 40. Nah, man, but I
55:47
Speaker 3: was pretty fast, bro. I was pretty fast. Probably the
55:49
Speaker 3: fastest one in my family, for sure. So I always
55:51
Speaker 3: wanted to do just like a regular guys combine, where
55:54
Speaker 3: we have guys sign waivers.
55:56
Speaker 2: They could be guys at the gym, whatever. We do
55:58
Speaker 2: the 40s.
55:59
Speaker 3: We do different shit all the night. And then we
56:02
Speaker 3: just great. We crown a regular guy combine champion. And
56:06
Speaker 3: at this event, we do the crossover event. This could
56:09
Speaker 3: be one of the events could be the Joel versus
56:12
Speaker 3: Billy race. Now, this might ruin tailgate, right? Because if
56:17
Speaker 3: Billy loses, no big deal. If Joel loses, this will
56:22
Speaker 3: be the biggest deal of anything that's ever happened on
56:24
Speaker 3: the ringer. Like there will be, this will be different.
56:27
Speaker 3: fucking narratives about this forever. But I would love to
56:30
Speaker 3: do that.
56:31
Speaker 1: Let's figure it out. Let's figure it out. Van Lathan,
56:33
Speaker 1: check him out on the Ranger Tailgate. Check him out
56:35
Speaker 1: on Higher Learning. Check him out everywhere. My brother, I
