USA Hockey Sweeps Gold & Duke and Arizona Surge in College Hoops · Height Differential

• 0:04
  Give it to me. That's like my intro.
• 0:10
  This is the height differential. We're back.
• 0:12
  I feel like we've been gone for a little bit, but it's just been
• 0:15
  7899 days. We are back for the height
• 0:20
  differential. That's the 66 deal.
• 0:21
  I am the 410. Nick, before we jump in, quick
• 0:24

• 0:35
  at the height actually just height differential.
• 0:40
  We'll talk Olympics, we'll talk college hoops.
• 0:43
  Scotty Scheffler finally didn't finish in the top 10 for the
• 0:46
  first time in years, Pimlico is not hosting the Preakness and
• 0:52
  Laurel is going to host it with about less than 5 like 5000
• 0:57
  fans. But before we get into
• 1:01
  everything, I don't know about you, but I'm a little sad that
• 1:04
  the Olympics are over. Yeah, I mean that what a what a
• 1:08
  nice little two weeks we had. You know, the US putting up some
• 1:12
  good numbers is their most successful Winter Olympics in a
• 1:17
  while, Most gold medals ever, most overall medals on foreign
• 1:21
  soil for the Winter Olympics. But an absolute great two weeks
• 1:25
  for the US. And yeah, I'm a little sad as
• 1:27
  well. Yeah, it I feel like it takes a
• 1:30
  couple days to kind of really get into it and then once you're
• 1:33
  you're fully invested, like that's all I was doing is during
• 1:37
  the day was while I was work, make sure I had it on all the
• 1:39
  time and keeping up what was going on.
• 1:42
  The the Thursday last week was was awesome with the women's
• 1:46
  figure skating gold medal game and the women's figure skating
• 1:49
  going on the same exact time. So Thursday was really cool,
• 1:52
  both of them finishing with gold and then obviously the the
• 1:56
  Olympics ending with the men winning gold on Sunday.
• 1:59
  And then Mike Tirico, man, just ends it with just what a great
• 2:05
  tribute to to the Olympics, just firing everybody up, getting
• 2:08
  everybody ready for for 2030203420382042.
• 2:14
  Get ready, because everybody got fired.
• 2:16
  Up loud, you're already you're already looking to the forward
• 2:18
  to the 2042 games. I'm telling you, the five and
• 2:21
  six year olds, they were watching that they pumped, they
• 2:23
  ready to go. They are ready.
• 2:26
  But dude, how good is he at his job?
• 2:28
  He's very good. I mean, that's why NBC paid the
• 2:31
  big bucks to to to lure him off of ESPN, and rightfully so.
• 2:35
  He's he's one of the best. You do.
• 2:37
  You do the play by play for the Super Bowl and then immediately
• 2:41
  fly to Italy. Get on a plane, get on a plane,
• 2:44
  go to the Olympic. And those are two very different
• 2:46
  jobs, doing play by play and hosting our two very different
• 2:50
  jobs. And he might be the best of both
• 2:52
  of them. Yeah, I mean, I put him up there
• 2:55
  with the the Bob Costas of the world made the Al Michaels
• 2:59
  action, but yeah, no, he's very good.
• 3:02
  Well, I think Bob Costas is probably the closest comparison
• 3:05
  because. Costas does both.
• 3:07
  Yeah, he did. He hosted and did play by play.
• 3:09
  He kind of leaned away from play by play later in his in his
• 3:13
  career. But yeah, I think that's
• 3:14
  probably the closest comparison. But what was the biggest story
• 3:18
  stuck out to you in the Olympics?
• 3:20
  I mean, the, the, the female dominance of the US athletes, I
• 3:24
  mean, like I said with like it's the most gold medals that the US
• 3:27
  has won in a Winter Olympics. They won 12 and 8 of them by
• 3:30
  either female teams or female individual athletes.
• 3:34
  So like we mentioned the, the women's hockey team with their
• 3:38
  overtime win over Canada to get the gold.
• 3:40
  And Alyssa, what we say Alyssa Liu is her name the, the figure
• 3:45
  skater pulling out the gold medal in that sport.
• 3:49
  And just the overall, just the the greatness of the female US
• 3:53
  Olympian athletes. Yeah, and just talking about
• 3:57
  Alyssa Lou, just I don't know how much you kept up with it
• 4:01
  during the over the last two weeks, but her attitude going
• 4:03
  into it was just kind of really carefree.
• 4:06
  And you can kind of see that in her figure skating.
• 4:08
  Her story is incredible. I mean, she was winning national
• 4:12
  championships when she was 13 years old, competes in the
• 4:15
  Olympics in in 2022 at the age of 16 and then hangs her skates
• 4:20
  up and she wasn't having fun with it.
• 4:22
  Retires says she's done. And then she decides she wants
• 4:26
  to come back. And of the three US Figure
• 4:29
  skaters, I think she had the longest odds to win the gold.
• 4:32
  But she's. Really.
• 4:35
  But she really did skate carefree, had a great short
• 4:38
  program skate that put her in contention and then really like
• 4:42
  it's just such a nerve wracking sport because you we saw Amber
• 4:46
  Glenn, who was the probably the leading candidate from USA to
• 4:50
  win gold, had one little stumble in the the short skate, which
• 4:53
  set her all way back to 13th and she wasn't able to overcome it.
• 4:57
  She was in first for a long time after having a really good free
• 5:00
  skate, ended up finished finishing fifth.
• 5:02
  But it's just such a nerve wracking sport.
• 5:05
  You make one mistake and it can eliminate you from contention.
• 5:08
  And I really do think that the fact that she was, the fact that
• 5:12
  she was retired, she'd already kind of been through it.
• 5:14
  She was just having fun with it. It played a role in the reason
• 5:17
  why she was able to skate so carefree and take home the gold.
• 5:20
  But it was great to see. Yeah, no, absolutely.
• 5:24
  And then, you know, you get into the hockey, both hockey's, I
• 5:26
  mean the men's hockey gold medal probably is the the main story
• 5:30
  of the Olympics, what everybody's going to remember,
• 5:32
  you know, for years and years to come.
• 5:34
  And with with their overtime victory over Canada and what a
• 5:37
  great game that that was. And but the women's hockey team
• 5:41
  as well, you know, both like I said, overtime goals a little
• 5:43
  bit different fashion. The women had to pull the goalie
• 5:46
  and they were down to their last minute before Hillary Knight
• 5:49
  scores. That goal with what, a minute
• 5:51
  left in the the last period just sent it to overtime it.
• 5:54
  Was it was it was getting nerve wrap?
• 5:55
  It was getting tight. 3 minutes, yeah, the goalie was pulled.
• 5:58
  So they were, they were, they were in desperation mode and
• 6:01
  they got that goal and, and, and they went on to win it in, in,
• 6:05
  in overtime. And with the men, it was more of
• 6:07
  a they took the lead and they hung on for dear life just to
• 6:10
  get it to overtime. And once overtime happened, you
• 6:13
  know, the magic happened. So with you.
• 6:16
  So it's I think the hockey's probably both hockey teams
• 6:19
  probably the biggest story and moving forward, you know, like,
• 6:25
  I don't know, what do you, what do you think?
• 6:27
  Well, we talked about how much we love Olympic hockey, and I
• 6:31
  think a lot of that is because neither one of us really have
• 6:35
  hockey teams that we follow. And this gives you like hockey
• 6:40
  so fun when you have a team to watch.
• 6:42
  And it makes me want to have an NHL team.
• 6:44
  But it's just so hard to force that.
• 6:46
  I've tried to have several teams.
• 6:48
  But yeah, hockey is going to be the standout for the Olympics.
• 6:50
  The women's game was was incredible.
• 6:53
  Like we talked about it last week how there's no way that
• 6:57
  they were going to lose. They were what, 33 to one in all
• 7:00
  of their games leading up to the championship.
• 7:03
  You're trying to jinx it but saying Canada has no chance and
• 7:06
  with two and a 2 1/2 minutes they're pulling the goalie
• 7:09
  because they're down one to nothing and they're going empty
• 7:11
  net. There's never.
• 7:13
  Down and but yeah, you're right the legend Hillary night comes
• 7:17
  through with the with the tying goal and and then pretty quickly
• 7:21
  in three on three Megan Keller gets the game winner.
• 7:24
  Just they just they needed to win that the way they had they
• 7:27
  had dominated the entire tournament.
• 7:29
  They deserved to win it. It would have been an an
• 7:31
  absolute travesty if they didn't so was really happy to see them
• 7:34
  win and then the men's game they get that early goal, which you
• 7:39
  want to be up. But a lot of the guys talked
• 7:41
  about after the game that might have been one of the worst
• 7:44
  things that could happen because they kind of felt like they were
• 7:46
  on their heels a little bit the rest of the way, playing maybe
• 7:50
  not to lose. And then once Canada tied it,
• 7:53
  they said it on the broadcast. Eddie Olczyk said it several
• 7:56
  times. They were lucky to get to
• 7:58
  overtime because they were it just.
• 8:00
  Oh, the Canada had so many chances.
• 8:02
  I mean, they, they, they, we had the the save by Hellebach that
• 8:06
  with the the stick of his handle, like the handle, yeah,
• 8:10
  like barely gets a piece of it, shoots that thing wide.
• 8:12
  And then Canada had a wide open net and the dude just pushed it
• 8:15
  left. I mean multiple chances.
• 8:17
  I mean, Canada out shot the US 42 to 28, like they're getting
• 8:23
  16 more chances on goal or 14 more chances on goal and you
• 8:28
  know, we're just lucky that one of them didn't go in.
• 8:31
  And I'm not going to sit here and pretend I'm a hockey.
• 8:33
  I don't. I don't know that much about
• 8:35
  hockey. I don't watch a lot of hockey.
• 8:36
  But I mean, the USA also had a a shot where it hit both post,
• 8:41
  which I've never seen in a hockey game.
• 8:43
  Hit the right post bat ricocheted off at the left post
• 8:46
  didn't go in, but the overtime go by Jack Hughes with.
• 8:52
  They say he's back in the game but his teeth didn't come with
• 8:54
  him and then he gets the game-winning goal.
• 8:56
  I mean, he took it to the mouth with a stick and then I.
• 9:02
  Mean just watching, watching the the the pictures and then the
• 9:04
  interviews after the after the game, blood coming out of his
• 9:08
  mouth, American flag draped around his shoulders, gold medal
• 9:11
  on like, that's just the quick, like that's just the to like
• 9:14
  that is just a perfect hockey picture.
• 9:17
  Like all of it, like all of it. Like he's just a hockey dude.
• 9:21
  How many people are going to have that picture in their in
• 9:25
  their basements? For in their basements, on
• 9:29
  T-shirts, all of it. Yeah.
• 9:31
  But also like, how cool is it for the Hughes brothers?
• 9:33
  You know, like we we mentioned, like, Jack gets the game winner
• 9:36
  to win the gold medal, which is obviously the big one.
• 9:38
  But the US in the quarterfinals, they went to overtime against
• 9:41
  Sweden. So they were on the brink of
• 9:43
  elimination in the quarterfinal. And his brother, Quinn, scored
• 9:46
  the overtime winner. So like, just to, like,
• 9:48
  celebrate with your brother, both of you score overtime goals
• 9:51
  in the knockout rounds. But like, what a cool, cool
• 9:55
  family moment that is. And two sets of brothers on the
• 9:57
  team. Yeah.
• 9:59
  The Chucks too. And look, I didn't, I'll be
• 10:02
  honest with you, I didn't know these guys before, before the
• 10:04
  Olympics, did you? Did you know who any of?
• 10:07
  Them I've, I've learned, I've learned of the Chucks from, from
• 10:09
  the, the Four Nations thing last year when they the, the, the two
• 10:13
  brothers were fighting all of Team Canada right when the puck
• 10:15
  dropped. Remember that last year, not
• 10:17
  really. That was, that was them.
• 10:18
  But other than that and Austin Matthews, I think is the only
• 10:21
  other one I, I really actually know because he's a superstar in
• 10:25
  the NHL. But yeah, a lot of these guys.
• 10:26
  No, you're right. I don't watch a lot of hockey
• 10:28
  until it's Stanley Cup finals or Stanley Cup playoffs.
• 10:31
  And yeah, no, it it was cool to to get to know them for two
• 10:34
  weeks. Yeah, it I knew.
• 10:37
  I knew two players, I think Sidney Crosby and Connor
• 10:39
  McDavid, both Canadians. On Canadians.
• 10:42
  Right. So you watch the early games,
• 10:44
  you get to know the teams. And then Sunday I, the women
• 10:48
  played at noon at the KFC Yum Center.
• 10:51
  And I didn't, I wasn't leaving the house till that hockey game
• 10:53
  was over. So I got there.
• 10:55
  I got there right at it. Yeah, no, like you still like
• 10:59
  you, but just like the the awesomeness of the moment.
• 11:03
  Like you look around the country and bars were open at 7:00 AM.
• 11:06
  On the West Coast, bars are open at 4:00 AM.
• 11:08
  Like, you know, like packed, Like people are packed packing
• 11:11
  into bars in the early morning hours, boozing, drinking the
• 11:15
  beers, having a good time, celebrating.
• 11:17
  Like all around the country, people were tuned into this
• 11:20
  thing like this was a huge deal. Well, it's only the third goal
• 11:23
  in US as history, and the first since 1980, the Miracle on Ice.
• 11:29
  So you, they, they talk about how important that 1980 gold
• 11:33
  medal was to USA Hockey and maybe now this will propel it to
• 11:39
  even another level. But just, I mean, you're, I'm
• 11:42
  just sitting there and they score and you're, you raise your
• 11:45
  arms like it's just, it was, it was fun to see them wild.
• 11:49
  And look, Nike didn't even expect the USA to win.
• 11:54
  So they didn't create, they didn't even put in production
• 11:57
  all these hockey jerseys because they expected Canada to win the
• 12:00
  thing. So people are going to buy
• 12:02
  jerseys and I don't think people can find them anywhere.
• 12:04
  Can you imagine how many of those they would sell?
• 12:06
  You can't find a Jack Hughes. You can't find a Jack Hughes
• 12:08
  jersey anywhere. They better be putting those in
• 12:09
  production like now because people will still be buying
• 12:12
  them. Of course, yeah.
• 12:15
  But yeah, that picture. As you said, look, you don't,
• 12:17
  you don't watch a lot of hockey like is this, is this kind of
• 12:19
  like curling for you? Like you pay attention to it for
• 12:21
  two weeks and then see you later.
• 12:23
  We'll like wait till the next U.S.
• 12:25
  Team trots out there in four years or are you going to pay
• 12:28
  more attention to hockey? I've tried this every single
• 12:31
  time that it but pearls be the the top level players being in
• 12:36
  Olympics makes it way more fun. It's when they're not there,
• 12:39
  it's not as exciting. But every single time there's
• 12:41
  NHL players in the Olympics, I try I'm like I'm going to pick a
• 12:45
  team. I'm going to go.
• 12:46
  So this year I've been saying I'm going to follow the Tampa
• 12:50
  Bay Lightning. So once, once the NHL starts
• 12:54
  back, I'm going to try, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm
• 12:57
  going to make a real effort to see if I can become a Tampa Bay
• 13:01
  Lightning fan. Weren't you on the Predators
• 13:05
  bandwagon for a year there like a couple of years ago when they
• 13:08
  were pretty good? I've been on them all.
• 13:10
  I've been. I've been an ABS fan, I've been
• 13:12
  a Preds fan. I've been a Blue Jackets.
• 13:14
  None of them is stuck. Let's see.
• 13:16
  Let's see if the Lightning can stick.
• 13:19
  Like what NHL team do you pretend to be?
• 13:21
  You a Red Wings guy? Is that what you pretend to?
• 13:23
  Be in the 90s I actually did watch yes in the 90s I was a Red
• 13:27
  Wings guy when they had you know, Steve Geiserman and Sergei
• 13:29
  Fedorov and Brett whole and Brendan Shanahan and you know
• 13:34
  like they were good they were winning some Stanley Cups.
• 13:37
  They had the huge rivalry with the Avalanche that they ended up
• 13:39
  making a 30 for 30 on. But like that team with
• 13:42
  Lindstrom and yeah, like Scotty Bowman was the coach Like that,
• 13:45
  that that was peak hockey for me was late 90s Detroit Red Wings.
• 13:50
  That was back when the AVS were good too.
• 13:52
  Yeah, yeah, that was a huge yeah.
• 13:54
  So I I remember Anna cheering for the AVS at that point.
• 13:58
  But yeah, it was like Fordsburg and they had Patrick Wah and
• 14:01
  goal for the Avalanche. Yeah, it's huge, huge deal.
• 14:04
  But my goal is to get in on the Lightning, fly down to to Tampa
• 14:10
  Bay, go to caddies, go to hat tricks and then hit up a
• 14:13
  Lightning game. There you go.
• 14:16
  Maybe even hit the 100 though. You hit the odds as well, yeah.
• 14:19
  We don't know about that. We don't know about that, but
• 14:23
  that's the goal. There's it's direct flight, easy
• 14:26
  to get there, good, good uniforms.
• 14:29
  They're a good team. They haven't won in the last
• 14:31
  couple years. Let's let's jump on the
• 14:34
  Lightning. Are you going to reinvest in the
• 14:36
  the Red Wings or you're going to roll somebody else?
• 14:40
  Bro, let me be honest with you, I'm probably not going to be
• 14:43
  watching hockey until the play, until the I'm going to keep on
• 14:45
  my keep on keeping on with with everything else, But I'll tune
• 14:49
  into hockey once it's playoff time.
• 14:50
  It's kind of like the NBAI don't watch a lot of like now that
• 14:53
  when the Pacers suck like they do this year because
• 14:55
  Halliburton's I like I haven't watched that much NBA, but I'll
• 14:58
  TuneIn once April rolls around, the playoffs start.
• 15:00
  So we'll, we'll give it another two months and then we'll be
• 15:02
  we'll be back. I'm just going to say Tampa's
• 15:05
  way better city to go to in the winter than than Detroit, so.
• 15:08
  But yeah. If you are going to go, I could
• 15:12
  pick a different team I. Might jump on the although when
• 15:16
  you go to Tampa to see the Lightning, you take me with you.
• 15:19
  Please let's go jump on the wagon with us.
• 15:23
  Our our boy, the dude that can go uphill on skis in in 6A6
• 15:29
  minute mile Clibo. Johannes Clibo, Norway's own
• 15:35
  dude, finishes with a record 6 gold medals in a single game.
• 15:42
  The 50 kilometer the the 4 by 7 1/2 relay, the 10 kilometer
• 15:50
  free, the men's Sprint classic, the men's team Sprint free and
• 15:55
  the skiathlon. Dude went 6 for six.
• 15:59
  He's a monster. He belongs in the greatest
• 16:02
  Olympian of all time. Let's conversation.
• 16:07
  I mean, for that particular sport, yeah, No, Yeah.
• 16:09
  I mean, yeah, no, you're right. There's just, I don't know much
• 16:14
  about these events that he's doing.
• 16:15
  Like I I don't know what to compare it to but.
• 16:19
  US speed skater Eric Haydon had the record for five goals in a
• 16:23
  single one in a single game, and dude just finishes with six.
• 16:26
  He he goes famous because he becomes a meme because he's
• 16:31
  doing a 6 minute mile uphill on skis and then he ends up winning
• 16:35
  6 gold medals. And then I think Elena Myers
• 16:40
  Taylor I think was another big story of the Olympics when in
• 16:45
  her first oldest, the age of 41, became the oldest individual
• 16:52
  gold medalist in Winter Games history and in her fifth
• 16:54
  appearance and then gets to tell her kids she won.
• 16:58
  That was that was pretty cool. So I'm looking here at the the
• 17:03
  the final medal count, right? And Norway dominates the games
• 17:07
  cause Kleibo that you just mentioned wins 6 golds and
• 17:11
  they're just the skiing powerhouse over Norway. 41 total
• 17:14
  medals. They they won the gold, the
• 17:16
  silver and the bronze straight up on all three categories. the
• 17:19
  US finishes second in total medals with 33 and 2nd in gold
• 17:23
  medals with 12. And then third was the
• 17:26
  Netherlands, Italy 4th. I look at the top ten.
• 17:29
  Guess what country is noticeably missing from the top 10?
• 17:34
  Canada. The cheating Canadians are not
• 17:37
  in the top 10. Bombs, bunch of bombs.
• 17:40
  Cheaters. Cheaters.
• 17:42
  I don't know, but they're not in the top ten of total medals or
• 17:46
  gold medals out. Done.
• 17:49
  They're going to have to do something about that.
• 17:52
  Here's the Here's the rundown, We said Norway, US, Netherlands,
• 17:55
  Italy, Germany, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria and Japan.
• 18:02
  I mean, how many of those countries are just always code
• 18:06
  or code a lot? I don't know.
• 18:09
  I don't know anything. About Norway, I don't know.
• 18:12
  They all have mountains. But I I do know that Canada is
• 18:14
  colder than all the states in the United States and I've been
• 18:17
  up north in the United States and some of those states are
• 18:21
  very cold, like South Dakota. I will say we should we
• 18:24
  congratulate the cheating finger pokers.
• 18:26
  They did end up getting first place in men's curling with
• 18:29
  their their their finger pokes. But outside of them, I don't
• 18:33
  know really what else they've done finishing second behind us
• 18:38
  in hockey. But the finger pokers at least
• 18:40
  got their goal. Cheating finger pokers.
• 18:46
  Eight holes. Like we're the bald eagles to
• 18:49
  Canadia. Just change their mascot to the
• 18:52
  finger pointers. For the they they should, they
• 18:56
  should. Just I really am.
• 18:58
  Like even on Sunday night. Just sad that there was no
• 19:03
  Olympics to watch. It goes by fast.
• 19:07
  Two weeks. Are you a Speaking of the
• 19:10
  Olympics before we wrap it up, are you an opening and closing
• 19:12
  ceremony watcher? Me neither.
• 19:17
  Like it's too long, too boring. Like I'll flip it on just to
• 19:21
  maybe see you ask for like a second when they're coming in
• 19:24
  and leaving, but. How did he know when they're
• 19:26
  coming in though? That's why I just keep like you,
• 19:28
  you think it's alphabetical, but then it's like they're all over
• 19:31
  the board and you it's impossible to So no, I'm not.
• 19:36
  It's it's cool seeing the flame lit and the flame the turned off
• 19:44
  or whatever. You what do you call that when
• 19:45
  you de lit it? What is that called?
• 19:47
  Extinguish. Extinguish.
• 19:49
  Extinguish. Extinguish the flame.
• 19:52
  It's it's cool to see that, but no, I'm not sitting through a
• 19:56
  three hour thing watching Terra Lipinski and Johnny Weir
• 19:59
  breakdown everything that's happening.
• 20:02
  But I did turn it on because I can tell you that Terra Lipinski
• 20:05
  and Johnny Weir breakdown everything that's happening, but
• 20:07
  there's no chance, no, that I'm not watching it.
• 20:10
  It's for a totally different audience, a totally different
• 20:13
  audience. I agree.
• 20:16
  And now we're on to LA in the summer of 28, which you won't
• 20:22
  have to wait or be watching it 2:00 in the afternoon.
• 20:26
  You everything will be live in prime time and it's going to be
• 20:29
  awesome. I can't wait for that.
• 20:31
  It's going to be absolutely awesome.
• 20:33
  Yes. This weekend we had two of the
• 20:38
  biggest college hoops games of the year.
• 20:43
  Yeah. We can start with Duke Michigan
• 20:48
  and what was cool about Duke Michigan is the fact that we get
• 20:54
  a non con game at a neutral site in mid February and.
• 21:01
  It's like a it's like a NCAA Final Four appetizer, if you
• 21:05
  will. It's, and that's what it's
• 21:06
  designed for. It's designed to give these
• 21:10
  teams some experience with that. I, I think they had open shooter
• 21:13
  rounds in in DC prior to the game.
• 21:17
  It, it's to give you that feel. Do we need more of these in
• 21:23
  conference play? Does it get to mundane where
• 21:28
  it's just you, you all the conferences just playing each
• 21:33
  other? Do we need more of these where
• 21:35
  teams are going outside of conference?
• 21:37
  Do you like it on neutral site or would you rather it be at A
• 21:39
  at a on a homecourt? I'm fine either way.
• 21:43
  I'm fine with the neutral site. You know, I, I think we do need
• 21:46
  more of these because like you said, like it just kind of gets
• 21:49
  the lens unless you get that, you know, like the like the
• 21:54
  Arizona at Kansas, like, you know, like that top five matchup
• 21:57
  of that are actual conference teams.
• 21:59
  Like you don't get a lot of that.
• 22:00
  You get like Michigan versus Rutgers or Michigan versus
• 22:02
  Northwestern a couple times. And it's just kind of like, it's
• 22:05
  just kind of stale like this. This brings a little spice to a
• 22:08
  little, a little, you know, a little excitement.
• 22:11
  I like the neutral sites fine because that's what the
• 22:13
  tournament's going to be here in a couple weeks.
• 22:15
  So, you know, it's, it's good enough.
• 22:17
  But no, I do think we need more of this because it kind of
• 22:21
  breaks up that that staleness, that kind of lull in the in the
• 22:25
  in the basketball season where you like you said like it's just
• 22:27
  conference play, conference play.
• 22:30
  No, I love it. I love it.
• 22:32
  All right, look, the other thing is you don't always know if
• 22:35
  these teams are going to live up to their height, right?
• 22:38
  If we talked about how odd kind of the Baylor Louisville game
• 22:41
  was a couple weeks ago because Baylor's had so many injuries
• 22:44
  and aren't in the top 25 and they got less than what, 4000
• 22:47
  people at that game. But it's also a way it's pretty
• 22:52
  far away from Louisville. Like it's basically a Baylor
• 22:55
  home game and they've struggled. And that's why it was kind of
• 22:57
  odd this game seats were going for I think upper deck seats
• 23:02
  were going for $600.00. So the the height for this game
• 23:07
  was awesome. I do absolutely think we need
• 23:09
  more of these. It it also makes me think, do
• 23:13
  you move one of those conference showdowns instead of having it
• 23:16
  in the preseason? Do you move it to where it is
• 23:19
  kind of in conference play to kind of force this a little bit?
• 23:23
  But you get #1 and and #3 on in the middle of February and the
• 23:32
  beginning of the game, they're going up and down the court.
• 23:34
  And then the second-half it really changed.
• 23:37
  And Duke ends up winning 6068 to 63.
• 23:44
  John Shire is, I mean, what is in his fourth year now Duke and
• 23:51
  has really, it's just incredible how he's just been able to pick
• 23:54
  up where where Coach K left off. Whenever you lose a legend, you
• 23:58
  you think you're going to see a drop off and we really have not
• 24:00
  seen it with Duke, which is really a credit to him.
• 24:05
  No, yeah, he's, I mean, he's one of the quickly the one of the
• 24:08
  best coaches in the country after just four years, you know,
• 24:11
  took that Duke to the Final Four last year.
• 24:13
  They're well on the way again this year.
• 24:15
  So every year he's been coaching, it's gotten better and
• 24:18
  better. And you just look at like some
• 24:19
  of the in game stuff that he does, like the sets that Duke
• 24:22
  runs and they thought they have the number one defense in the
• 24:24
  country. Offensively, they're running
• 24:26
  great sets. Like in game adjustments, like
• 24:30
  when Duke's down, you know, when they were down 9 to Louisville
• 24:32
  at halftime, they came out in the second-half and and just
• 24:35
  actually took it to us and similar to their place, you
• 24:38
  know, it was a close, somewhat of a close game.
• 24:40
  I'm at halftime at Duke and second-half he came out adjusted
• 24:43
  and took it to us again. So I mean, he's a, he's a really
• 24:46
  good coach, there's no doubt about it, one of the best in the
• 24:48
  country. Cameron Boozer almost has a
• 24:50
  triple double in that game, 1810 and seven and Elliot Caddo
• 24:54
  really struggled for Michigan. Only shot one of eight from the
• 24:57
  from the field was one of six from three.
• 25:03
  And and and then you you get Duke who comes off of that and
• 25:09
  beats Notre Dame by 40 on Tuesday night at Notre Dame.
• 25:15
  Fire is already the first coach in AF ACC history to have 240
• 25:22
  plus wins on the road by more than 4240 plus wins on the road
• 25:28
  all time. Not in one year to ever do it.
• 25:33
  They also beat Georgia Tech by 40 something in 2023.
• 25:39
  They scored 100 points in the win over Notre Dame.
• 25:42
  They have now scored 100 points in back-to-back ACC games.
• 25:45
  That's the first time they've done it since 1998.
• 25:47
  Nineteen 99. I feel like we talked about the
• 25:50
  9899 Duke team last week and here's another one for you, a
• 25:55
  Boozer stat. Every single game this year
• 25:57
  Boozer has had 14 points, 5 rebounds and two assists.
• 26:02
  I know like that sounds just it doesn't sound amazing, right,
• 26:08
  but it's consistent it. Sounds pretty good.
• 26:10
  Maybe it sounds pretty good, but I'm willing to bet there's not
• 26:12
  many people that have done that. No one has ever done it in the
• 26:16
  first 28 games. No one has ever done it.
• 26:20
  No one has never had at least 14 points, 5 rebounds and two
• 26:23
  assists in their first 28 games in college basketball history.
• 26:29
  He's special. He's that's why he's probably
• 26:32
  go. I mean, that's why he's, yes, I
• 26:34
  think he's a lot. He's a lot to win.
• 26:37
  Player of the Year, Back-to-back Duke Players of the Year.
• 26:42
  Yeah, no. And and that's a that do you
• 26:45
  know the last two Duke back to backs?
• 26:51
  Player of the Years. Yeah, I was going to go into it,
• 26:54
  but we'll go ahead and do. It now give it a we'll get a
• 26:57
  Jason Williams and Shane Battier.
• 27:02
  Jason Williams was the second one.
• 27:06
  Boozer. Change your language.
• 27:07
  Carlos Boozer. Oh, boozer loser.
• 27:09
  OK. So that that same 19981999 era.
• 27:14
  But yeah. And once again, this is a rare
• 27:19
  feat really early in John Shire's tenure as a head coach.
• 27:25
  It's just it's it's kind of scary how successful he's been
• 27:29
  this early. Arizona in the in the other big
• 27:35
  game on on Saturday. And we won't go into these too
• 27:39
  much because they happened a couple days ago, but they beat
• 27:42
  Houston 73 to 66. Without Coapete, Arizona now has
• 27:49
  three top three wins. They won't.
• 27:54
  They beat Florida in Vegas when they were in the top three.
• 27:57
  They won at UConn and now they've won at Houston.
• 28:01
  Yes. We've talked about how the thing
• 28:05
  that we might that might hold Arizona back is the fact that
• 28:09
  they don't make a lot of threes. In all three of those wins, they
• 28:14
  hit three or fewer 3 points, though, goes.
• 28:19
  Yeah, they didn't take very many in that use thing.
• 28:20
  They were three of 12, I mean 25% in good, but only 12
• 28:25
  attempts. So they were pounding in, I
• 28:27
  guess inside. And and this stats from Matt,
• 28:30
  Matt Norlander the past five years, when teams play top three
• 28:35
  teams and hit three or fewer threes, do you want to guess
• 28:39
  what their record is? Arizona's three and O this year.
• 28:43
  Are we counting Arizona? Are we counting all the others?
• 28:46
  No, I'm counting all the others. Must say like one in whatever
• 28:51
  however many games it is. 2/1 time 72 and 72. 2 and 72, OK.
• 29:00
  Just I. Mean that's yeah.
• 29:03
  You still do wonder if if that is going to be what eventually
• 29:08
  bites them, the fact that they just don't shoot a lot of
• 29:11
  threes. Houston has now lost three in a
• 29:15
  row as they lose to Kansas on on Big Monday.
• 29:21
  What were the stats I was telling you before the game?
• 29:25
  41 and O on Big Monday. Bill, what do you want to know
• 29:28
  at home on Big Monday? Is that now after that win is 41
• 29:33
  and O all time on Big Monday? Yeah, at home.
• 29:37
  Yeah, at home and they are. They haven't lost two straight
• 29:43
  at the fog since 198889 and obviously they were coming off a
• 29:48
  loss as they lost by 20 points to Kansas who saw that one come.
• 29:53
  Cincinnati lost by 16 to Cincinnati.
• 29:55
  Oh yeah, it's they can't lose themselves.
• 29:59
  Yes. No, I mean, it's unbelievable.
• 30:02
  Like they, they, they beat, they, they beat Arizona at home.
• 30:05
  You know, so they have, they got some good wins.
• 30:07
  They beat Houston at home and then they lose to Cincinnati.
• 30:13
  It doesn't make sense. I only lose to Cincinnati, but
• 30:17
  one of their worst home losses of all time.
• 30:19
  Get get worked it I've. Got their worst.
• 30:23
  Yeah. Wasn't their worst loss versus
• 30:25
  non ranked team and yeah I pulled.
• 30:27
  It for you ESPN research since tonight 16 point win is the
• 30:32
  largest by an unranked team at Kansas since Iowa State won by
• 30:36
  24 in 1973. The loss also snapped Kansas 425
• 30:42
  game run of not losing by double digits at home against an
• 30:46
  unranked opponent. That's gracious.
• 30:52
  Yeah, I, I was at the Yom Center watching the cars and you look
• 30:55
  up on the board and you're like, what is happening?
• 31:00
  What is the How is Cincinnati beating Kansas?
• 31:05
  And that's with Peterson playing 32 minutes.
• 31:08
  Yeah, and look, he didn't have the.
• 31:09
  Greatest he actually played a full game.
• 31:11
  Played a full game, the greatest game on on Monday night that
• 31:15
  belonged to Trey White who was just incredible.
• 31:19
  Yeah. But the fact that he played 32
• 31:23
  minutes and looked happy and looked into it and looked
• 31:27
  invested, I think it's what people were watching.
• 31:30
  They didn't even care that he didn't have the greatest game.
• 31:32
  He looked like he was having fun and ready to play.
• 31:40
  Elsewhere in college basketball, BYU beats Iowa State, who's
• 31:44
  number four, and then goes and loses to to UTF at home.
• 31:49
  Yeah, but 13 give up 97 polls from UCF, but they also spent
• 31:53
  13. I know you don't have Richie
• 31:55
  Saunders anymore, but you figure out a way to beat a really good
• 31:58
  Iowa State team. Yeah, it's your your first
• 32:01
  really good win of the year. And then you just absolutely lay
• 32:06
  an egg. It's just we are a week away
• 32:14
  from March and I think pretty much Duke, Arizona and Michigan
• 32:21
  have locked up #1 seeds in the NCAA tournament for the most
• 32:24
  part. Yeah.
• 32:27
  I don't want to hear who you think the fourth number one is
• 32:30
  right now. I want you to predict who you
• 32:33
  think the fourth number one seed will be.
• 32:36
  Yukon. Are they?
• 32:41
  I think UConn will end up, I don't think they're going to
• 32:42
  lose the rest of the way. They'll win the Big East title.
• 32:45
  They beat Saint John's tonight. Saint John's was hot.
• 32:47
  They beat him by 32. They just destroyed them from
• 32:52
  the jump. Yukon, absolutely from the jump
• 32:55
  and they gave up forty points, 40 points, 72 to 40 was the
• 33:00
  final forty points from the Johnnies.
• 33:03
  That's bad. But I think UConn probably went
• 33:05
  to the Big East is down, so that's going to hurt him a
• 33:07
  little bit. But I think ultimately they're
• 33:10
  going to win out, win that conference championship, and I
• 33:13
  think they'll probably sneak in and get that last four, that
• 33:15
  last one spot. Yeah, I, you look at the AP poll
• 33:18
  right now and it's those three that are 123.
• 33:21
  Duke, Arizona, Michigan, Iowa State and Houston are, are four
• 33:24
  and five. I, I don't think either one of
• 33:27
  those are going to sneak in and be in the one, especially with
• 33:30
  the Big 12. Just everybody kind of beaten up
• 33:32
  on each other. I, I, I, I'm leaning Florida.
• 33:37
  I I think Florida's going to end up being that, that fourth
• 33:41
  number one. They're scheduled the rest of
• 33:42
  the way. They've got Arkansas left, but
• 33:44
  that's the only right team that they have left that they're
• 33:47
  playing really good basketball. They've won seven in a row.
• 33:53
  They. Don't think all those early
• 33:54
  season losses are going to hurt them.
• 33:56
  I think they could, but they're going to give them the fact that
• 34:00
  they're playing as good as anybody right now.
• 34:02
  And if they if they, I think even if they win, they probably
• 34:06
  need to win out the rest of the way, win the rest of regular
• 34:08
  season games and then win the SEC tournament.
• 34:11
  But I think they're going to do that.
• 34:12
  And if they do, I think they'll be the fourth number one.
• 34:16
  What's I think didn't didn't UConn beat Florida early?
• 34:19
  I mean like if they were to compare him head to head, didn't
• 34:21
  UConn? Beat Florida back in.
• 34:23
  They beat him in Vegas. Yeah, yeah.
• 34:26
  That I don't have their strengths of schedules in front
• 34:29
  of me, but pretty sure Florida's race higher, which I don't know
• 34:32
  if that'll make up for that. You can't play the your I mean,
• 34:35
  yes, but only because of the conference, but you can't play
• 34:37
  the heck of a non conference schedule.
• 34:40
  I mean, you like you said, they played, they played BYU,
• 34:43
  Arizona, Illinois, all top 20 at the time, top ten teams.
• 34:48
  They played at Kansas, Texas, I mean Florida like they they
• 34:54
  loaded up in the non con with some really, really good teams.
• 34:56
  So you're right, maybe Florida's is better because, you know,
• 35:00
  they played at Duke and they've played a tough, you know, SEC
• 35:05
  schedule and some some good nocons when they played in the
• 35:08
  whatever that biggest tournament was.
• 35:10
  But. They lost to Arizona, they lost
• 35:12
  to Duke, they lost to UConn. So they, they played a lot of
• 35:14
  teams didn't win them. You wonder if that lost to TCU
• 35:18
  will will hurt them. But I, I, I think it'll be the,
• 35:22
  the 4th #1 will come between either UConn or Florida.
• 35:26
  And did you pick UConn? So I'll pick Florida all the
• 35:32
  next week. Women's basketball conference
• 35:35
  tournament start. So March is here.
• 35:39
  It's, it's here. And dude, this is going to be
• 35:43
  one of the best tournaments. They're all great.
• 35:47
  Yeah, I'm excited. I mean, yeah, a lot of a lot of
• 35:49
  great teams excited to see these freshmen all play because this
• 35:53
  would be the last time we get to see them here down the stretch
• 35:55
  before they go to the NBA. And how a bunch of them are
• 35:58
  having great seasons and what a special freshman class this has
• 36:01
  been. You know, excited to see all
• 36:03
  them submit their one year college legacies before they
• 36:06
  head on out. Yeah, it's, it's going to be
• 36:09
  exciting. Miami, Ohio stays undefeated
• 36:14
  yesterday with a 74 to 64 win at Eastern Michigan.
• 36:20
  I I watched a little bit of this game.
• 36:23
  Yeah. So it's at ESPN plus feed, so
• 36:28
  you're getting Eastern Michigan's announcers.
• 36:32
  Boy. Dude, I'm telling you, they hit
• 36:36
  a three early in the first half to trim the lead to 14 to 9, and
• 36:44
  this dude just goes absolutely bonkers.
• 36:51
  And like 10 minutes later they get like a dunk to trim the lead
• 36:57
  to like 25 to 11 and he goes nuts.
• 37:02
  But just watching these home feeds, it can be really
• 37:07
  entertaining. They did make a run in the
• 37:10
  second-half. It wasn't enough.
• 37:13
  But the RedHawks are now 28, no. We're still on Speedo watch,
• 37:18
  right? Yeah, they're 28.
• 37:20
  No, we better be on Speedo watch.
• 37:22
  No. We're still on Speedo watch.
• 37:24
  They are the seventh team since the NCAA Tournament expanded to
• 37:27
  64 teams in 1985 to reach 28. No.
• 37:34
  Do you want to try to guess them or do you think it's too tough?
• 37:37
  Since since what year? They are the seventh team since
• 37:42
  1985 to reach 28. No.
• 37:47
  So there are, there are six other teams on there.
• 37:52
  The I will say it's it's since 1985 but the first one on here
• 37:56
  is 199091. UNLV.
• 38:02
  That is correct. We know the 2015 Kentucky team,
• 38:06
  infamously that's two. They're on the game of the
• 38:09
  championship. So that was a, that was 1.
• 38:15
  I'm assuming there's a Duke team in there?
• 38:17
  There's not. No Duke team.
• 38:18
  OK, OK, UConn. No, one of them was the year
• 38:25
  before Kentucky. 2014. And Kentucky had something to do
• 38:31
  with ending their undefeated. Wisconsin, that was 2014 that.
• 38:40
  Final mid major. Mid Major.
• 38:43
  Wichita, yeah. Wichita State.
• 38:45
  Yeah, that's right. As a one seed, yeah.
• 38:48
  They played the eight seed Kentucky in the second round.
• 38:51
  What a brutal draw that was. Yeah.
• 38:53
  Cleveland early. Yeah.
• 38:55
  The other three you're missing are one team lost in the
• 38:59
  national championship in 2005. Illinois.
• 39:03
  Yep. They were undefeated through
• 39:06
  2828. Yeah.
• 39:08
  Well, yeah, yeah. Interesting.
• 39:10
  And and then Gonzaga has done it twice.
• 39:12
  Gonzaga did it in 2021 and 1617. Yeah, Gonzaga makes a lot of
• 39:18
  sense. Yeah, OK.
• 39:21
  But yeah, the fact that Miami, Ohio is in with those teams is
• 39:27
  incredible. Have you changed your tune?
• 39:31
  No. Do they still have to win the
• 39:32
  Mack to get? In yes, I mean, if it was up to
• 39:35
  me, yes, I was just about to ask you that same question with
• 39:37
  their strength of schedule being so bad, yes, like you can't just
• 39:42
  get them a spot like they have to earn that spot and they
• 39:46
  haven't earned it by playing a bunch of bumps.
• 39:47
  Here's Here's what I say if it is just up to me if they finish
• 39:52
  the regular season undefeated and get to the championship game
• 39:55
  and lose. I'll put them in Dayton.
• 39:58
  I'll put them in Dayton. I'm putting them in the dance.
• 40:01
  All right, Would you put them in Dayton?
• 40:05
  I would make them earn it. I would put them in the playing
• 40:07
  game to make them earn their rights to play with the big
• 40:10
  boys. Do what?
• 40:13
  Just because their schedule is so trash.
• 40:15
  It's bad. Like they need to play a quality
• 40:17
  team. Put them in Dayton against,
• 40:19
  match them up with one of those, you know, powerful teams that
• 40:22
  are mediocre, that are just barely sliding in, and let's see
• 40:26
  who's better. Like.
• 40:27
  I don't know if they have to win two or three games to win their
• 40:30
  tournament, if they finish the regular season and then losing
• 40:33
  the semis. I'm guessing because I have to
• 40:35
  win 3. Does that change anything?
• 40:37
  Some of these smaller tournaments you only have to win
• 40:40
  two and my guess is it's probably 3, but I'll.
• 40:43
  Be here I will say it no. At the end of the year, if they
• 40:47
  have one loss, I still I would put them in Dayton and make them
• 40:51
  earn their way into the tournament.
• 40:52
  So they got to finish the regular season undefeated for
• 40:55
  sure. Yes, for sure.
• 40:57
  Yes. And they should.
• 40:58
  They play, they play all the wrestler games and teams of
• 41:00
  losing records. Like you're undefeated regular
• 41:04
  season and then you do have to play in the quarters and you're
• 41:06
  playing the 8th or 9th seeded team in the Mac tournament and
• 41:10
  you lose that game. Are you still putting them in?
• 41:13
  Because that's when to me it kind of changes a little bit.
• 41:17
  Yeah, it's tough. I think if you finish undeceeded
• 41:21
  undefeated and then you win that quarter, you get to the semis.
• 41:25
  I think regardless of what you do, you should get in the
• 41:27
  tournament. But where you are, are you going
• 41:29
  to require them to play in Dayton?
• 41:31
  Are you just going to put them straight in?
• 41:32
  I think I'd put them straight in.
• 41:37
  All right, I don't know about. I'll let some of those Power
• 41:40
  Four teams that are finishing around 500 in their leagues play
• 41:44
  play in Dayton. But that's where Miami would
• 41:46
  finish in a Power Four or five league, they would.
• 41:48
  Finish, I know, but they also are on the teams are they're
• 41:51
  also undefeated also here's they.
• 41:53
  Even played you. We talked about the schedule
• 41:55
  they played. It's dirty.
• 41:59
  It is so dirty, but here's another one of my things.
• 42:03
  I am not making the 16 seeds play in Dayton like if I if I
• 42:08
  was in charge of this tournament.
• 42:09
  No, I agree with that. I've always been against that IA
• 42:11
  100%. Agree.
• 42:12
  Have all the twelves. All the twelves would play in
• 42:14
  Dayton. Yeah, I would.
• 42:17
  I would actually. I think you're right on that.
• 42:19
  There's no yeah, I hate that they I hate that they make the
• 42:22
  the 16 seeds play. If I don't experience the big
• 42:26
  time where you have the open practice.
• 42:28
  We talked about this. You have the open practice and
• 42:30
  you know, you get to go to a press conference and you're what
• 42:33
  you're seeing Bill Self and let's some legends of the game
• 42:35
  and some of the coaches of the game like yeah, like I agree
• 42:38
  with you on that here. Hold on.
• 42:40
  I've got Miami of Ohio right now.
• 42:42
  They're undefeated. They're 48th in the net.
• 42:47
  What do you think Their quad 1 record is?
• 42:54
  Quad 2? What do you think their quad 2
• 42:57
  is? Do they have two quad two wins?
• 43:00
  No. Do they have one?
• 43:02
  No, they have one. They're one O, They played one
• 43:06
  quad 1 slash quad 2 game. They're splitting O in quad 3
• 43:11
  and 14 and O in quad 4. So 24 of their games are quad 3
• 43:16
  quad fours, and only one of them is above a quad 3.
• 43:20
  It's just. I know it's tough.
• 43:24
  I don't know how you just put them in.
• 43:25
  I just it's. Because they're undefeated.
• 43:28
  Because they're undefeated, but I.
• 43:29
  I know, I know. It's tough.
• 43:31
  It's tough. There's a lot of teams.
• 43:32
  There's a lot of teams that would go undefeated playing
• 43:34
  their schedule a lot. And like you'll do all these
• 43:36
  lists and you'll you'll like you'll have all these lists and
• 43:39
  they'll be so far down on a team that should be in and just to
• 43:44
  jump everybody because they're undefeated, I admit, doesn't
• 43:47
  make a lot of sense, but but I'm.
• 43:49
  Surprised. Like what?
• 43:50
  Why did they schedule the way they did?
• 43:52
  Because a lot of times you'll see a Mac team like Eastern
• 43:54
  Michigan and Ohio, just for an example, came in, They played it
• 43:57
  at Louisville this year. Like like a lot of Mac teams in
• 43:59
  the non conference will go and play at a bigger school.
• 44:01
  They'll go and play at Michigan State or they'll go play at
• 44:03
  Kentucky or they'll go play at North Carolina or Duke.
• 44:06
  Why is Miami, Ohio? They're skating because they
• 44:09
  didn't do that. I don't know.
• 44:11
  I don't. Know punish them for that
• 44:12
  schedule better. So now you're out, They now you
• 44:15
  change your mind. Yeah, like just looking at this
• 44:18
  is just trash. I'm out.
• 44:21
  RedHawks are bombed. Get them out.
• 44:24
  So they're out. I'm.
• 44:27
  You didn't just get a free pass because you scheduled like a
• 44:29
  bomb. It's hard for me, but I'm
• 44:31
  putting, I'm putting them. You would.
• 44:36
  NFL combines This week used to be the only time that Duke,
• 44:40
  Duke, Tobin, the Cincinnati Bengals pseudo general manager,
• 44:45
  whatever they call him, speaks. He did speak after the season,
• 44:49
  because it was. He just had to.
• 44:53
  Because you haven't made the playoffs since, what, three
• 44:56
  years? Yeah.
• 44:59
  He spoke. What all do caps say?
• 45:01
  He spoke to the media today, talks about how they were always
• 45:05
  all in and did you. You can't look at the moves you
• 45:07
  made last year and and say they're all in.
• 45:10
  I've got three quotes that I'm going to read from Duke Tobin.
• 45:13
  I want you to translate them into what they actually mean and
• 45:17
  not what Duke Tobin is saying. The first quote, we're always
• 45:22
  looking if there's an opportunity that we feel
• 45:24
  warrants it. You have to give up things.
• 45:26
  And when you take a big swing, there's a chance you miss and it
• 45:30
  can stay with you for a long time and keep you in the dugout.
• 45:34
  If we're staying with baseball, we don't want to stay in the
• 45:37
  dugout. That's not a place we want to
• 45:38
  be. You don't get to take a big
• 45:41
  swing for free. Big swings take big cock
• 45:44
  compensation. And this quote was when he was
• 45:46
  asked about potentially trading for Max Crosby or making a move
• 45:52
  like that. What is that?
• 45:54
  What is what? What is he really saying?
• 45:56
  That means he's not spending any money.
• 45:58
  That means we're not going to spend any money.
• 45:59
  Even though we have the money to spend, we're not going to spend
• 46:02
  the money. We're going to just go out.
• 46:05
  We're going to either run back the same crew we had or we're
• 46:08
  going to go out and we're going to get another Gino stone for
• 46:10
  cheap and we're going to suck. And also we're scared.
• 46:15
  We're scared to make big moves because we don't want to sit in
• 46:19
  the dugout. Yeah, like it doesn't make
• 46:22
  sense. Like, come on.
• 46:24
  He was asked, he was asked about potentially restructuring
• 46:27
  Burroughs deal. We look at all areas to increase
• 46:30
  our competitiveness. If we have to cap dollars have
• 46:33
  to be counted. So if we can accomplish what we
• 46:36
  want to accomplish without pushing things into future
• 46:38
  problems, we'll do that. If we need that, we'll consider
• 46:42
  that as well. Like I said, we're open to doing
• 46:44
  anything we need to do to improve our team where we're
• 46:47
  satisfied we're going. We're going to win a
• 46:50
  championship. That's our mindset and that's
• 46:52
  the way we're going into the offseason.
• 46:54
  But we have resources right now and we'll see what we what we
• 46:58
  can get done. Yeah, that means he's not going
• 47:02
  to restructure Joe Burrow's contract.
• 47:04
  Like he he he's just, yeah, like that's not happening.
• 47:08
  That's not how he's going to say that.
• 47:09
  We're looking at it like, that's just, that's fake talk.
• 47:13
  It's fake talk. Like, no, they're, they're, he's
• 47:15
  not even considering redoing Joe Burrow's contract. 0% chance.
• 47:18
  And the reason is they don't want to spend all that money.
• 47:21
  Right. Correct.
• 47:23
  Because they have money to spend.
• 47:24
  Well, they have money to spend now that they don't want to
• 47:26
  spend, and then they don't want to have to spend even more
• 47:28
  money. Like no.
• 47:30
  Because if you restructure, that opens the cap up even more and
• 47:33
  then you've got more money that you potentially spend.
• 47:36
  They like the fact that his number brings you that.
• 47:40
  Yeah, your fans see the amount of cap space that you have and
• 47:42
  expect you to spend it, and then they don't want to.
• 47:45
  So no. Yeah, you're right.
• 47:46
  There's no chance they restructure Joe Burrow.
• 47:48
  None. Final one on a tray, I can tray.
• 47:54
  I don't throw anything on or off the table with Trey.
• 47:57
  And we're excited about attacking this offseason.
• 48:00
  We have resources to attack the offseason in a big way and we
• 48:03
  want to do that in terms of how we're going to do that, how
• 48:06
  we're going to allocate our resources, you know, who is it
• 48:09
  going to be on our own free agents?
• 48:12
  What's our intentions there? I'm not going to get in that
• 48:15
  right here. It's just not the time to
• 48:16
  announce that to the rest of the league.
• 48:18
  So that's the best way I can answer that.
• 48:21
  What does that mean? That means Trey Henderson is
• 48:23
  going to walk as a free agent. He's not going to be tagged.
• 48:26
  He is not going to be traded. He is not coming back to
• 48:28
  Cincinnati. Trey's gone.
• 48:31
  Which I'm fine with. And no, I agree.
• 48:34
  If I'm the GM of the Cincinnati Bengals, I am going to try my
• 48:39
  hardest to tag and trade Trey. But I don't trust them to do it
• 48:45
  at all. And I don't want the $35 billion
• 48:48
  on the books with Trey. I also don't know what it what,
• 48:53
  but also if. They're not going to spend it
• 48:54
  anyway. Then just go ahead and put it on
• 48:56
  there. I don't know what you're going
• 48:57
  to get back for them now. What do you like?
• 48:59
  What like the return is going to be smaller than what it was
• 49:02
  going to be last year if you were tagged and it's a.
• 49:04
  One year rental you're getting for 30 something, $1,000,000 I
• 49:06
  think maybe you get a third round draft.
• 49:10
  I just think teams aren't going to aren't going to play the
• 49:12
  game. They're going to call the
• 49:14
  Bengals bluff. Just wait for Trey to be hit the
• 49:15
  free agent market and those that are interested will just go sign
• 49:18
  them from there. I watch it and I'm just like,
• 49:21
  dude, this is Mike Brown. Like he's, he has been around
• 49:26
  Mike Brown for 24 years. He has turned into Mike.
• 49:29
  He's Mike Brown. There's the absolutely, which is
• 49:32
  not what we need. We don't need that.
• 49:35
  We don't need a Mike Brown. We have enough of Mike Brown.
• 49:38
  We don't want Mike Brown as he is.
• 49:39
  We don't need 2M Browns. But don't tell me how you're all
• 49:43
  in. Like that's not even something
• 49:45
  you should have to say. Like in no job in the world
• 49:49
  should you have to tell me I'm all in.
• 49:51
  That should come without ever saying anything.
• 49:54
  It should be automatic, right? Like.
• 49:58
  What if I'm trying to think of an analogy like at your job in
• 50:01
  the alumni office over there, the alumni department?
• 50:04
  Like, no, I just want the alumni office to just be mediocre.
• 50:08
  Like, I don't know, like what like how do you like, how do you
• 50:10
  equate that to like an an everyday job?
• 50:12
  Well, I can I just look at it as like if I when I was working for
• 50:16
  coach walls, like if I told coach I'm all in coach, well, no
• 50:19
  shit, you better be. Are you going to be walking
• 50:22
  right? Like that's what a normal person
• 50:25
  would say to that. Yeah.
• 50:28
  Dude, in 24 years he's produced a 482 winning percentage.
• 50:32
  They're 185 and 199 with four ties, 11 winning seasons out of
• 50:38
  24 years and two playoff appearances in this decade.
• 50:44
  In the last decade, the last 10 years, not just the 20 twenties,
• 50:49
  it's the biggest offseason that this franchise may have ever
• 50:53
  had. What is your prediction that the
• 50:56
  Bengals do? What is your predict?
• 50:58
  Do you give me your prediction of what they do in the
• 51:01
  offseason? Do they A actually go make some
• 51:04
  big moves B make mediocre moves like the Gino stones of the
• 51:08
  world and stuff like that, or C just run everything back?
• 51:12
  Well, they're not going to run everything back and they're also
• 51:15
  not going to do the first one. They're they're not going to go
• 51:18
  sign, they're not going to go trade for Max Crosby.
• 51:21
  It's it's going to be a bunch of mid tier moves, maybe upper mid
• 51:26
  tier moves trying to hit on guys that not a lot teams are trying
• 51:30
  to sign, but that you're hoping they outperform their last
• 51:33
  contracts. It is what they're going to do.
• 51:36
  It's going to be a lot like what they did when Joe Burrow was in
• 51:40
  his rookie deal, when they went and signed Trey the first time,
• 51:43
  when they signed DJ Reader, when they signed Mike Hilton, when
• 51:46
  they signed to to be. Oh, oozy A that's what they're
• 51:49
  going to do. I I do think they're going to go
• 51:51
  sign four or five guys to fix this defense.
• 51:57
  And yeah, they do the they're going to go sign four or five,
• 52:03
  maybe 6 guys and then spend some.
• 52:08
  Money. Go spend some money.
• 52:10
  Spend some money. I'm just tired of being cheap.
• 52:14
  Well, it's that's never going to change.
• 52:16
  It's never going to change dude. My nephew today had wear 90s
• 52:21
  stuff at Carter Elementary. So my sister sends a picture
• 52:27
  and. He's wear a Carter jacket.
• 52:28
  No, he's wearing just a Bengals shirt.
• 52:32
  And I am like, do you even understand how bad the
• 52:38
  Cincinnati Bengals were in the 1990s?
• 52:41
  Like that is the worst possible thing that you can wear if you
• 52:45
  want to represent the 90s in your Outback, your kindergarten
• 52:48
  class. So it's it's wear 90s in.
• 52:53
  Was the Bengals shirt like an old school logo or anything?
• 52:57
  It's just the she just threw a. Bangle on her kid.
• 53:02
  So your sister just threw him in a modern day bangle shirt and
• 53:05
  sent. Him to school tonight?
• 53:07
  Hey, you can't tell this. Kid, not the 90s.
• 53:09
  That's not even 90s. You can't tell him what to wear,
• 53:13
  but. What do you mean kids on what to
• 53:15
  wear? Yes, you can tell them what to
• 53:17
  worry, but you're not wearing this shirt to school.
• 53:18
  It's 90s day. You are wearing your clothes.
• 53:22
  You are the most non listening to anybody trying to tell you
• 53:24
  what to do person I've ever met. And this the five year old kid
• 53:28
  like you don't mess with his clothes.
• 53:30
  Dude. He's wearing his first
• 53:31
  basketball games. He's wearing his wristband up on
• 53:33
  his bicep. And I'm like, Jonah, dude,
• 53:35
  that's, that's a wristband, bro. You've got to wear it down on
• 53:38
  your wrist. And he just looked at he was
• 53:39
  like, Nah, this is this is the new style.
• 53:42
  I'm wearing the wristband up on the bicep.
• 53:45
  But he wears Bengals for a 90s day.
• 53:48
  You want to talk about the Bengals being terrible in the
• 53:51
  90s? They were 52 and 108 and had one
• 53:55
  winning season and that came in 1990.
• 53:59
  Yeah, it's bad, Yeah. Yeah, but nothing good from from
• 54:05
  Duke Tobin today. Not surprising.
• 54:12
  What else? But I hope he's paying attention
• 54:15
  to all the measurables of all the defenders out there so we
• 54:17
  can go draft the guy that has one career college sack because
• 54:20
  he can jump high and run fast. Well, that's something he talked
• 54:23
  about too. Is he a, is he a numbers guy or
• 54:26
  is he a trades guy? Is he a are you a are you a
• 54:28
  numbers guy or are you a trades guy?
• 54:30
  What are you? Numbers.
• 54:32
  Numbers. I mean, I, I see both sides of
• 54:34
  it. Emerius Mems was strictly A
• 54:37
  trades guy. So was Shamar Stewart was a
• 54:40
  trades guy. One of them worked, one of them
• 54:42
  didn't. Like Miami.
• 54:46
  Ohio's got some players that are putting up numbers, but do they
• 54:50
  have the traits to be in the NBA?
• 54:51
  They haven't played anybody. Right, but but that's why I
• 54:56
  could see the. Argument but like but like these
• 54:59
  dudes but like Shamar Stewart out of Texas A&N played against
• 55:02
  guys that are NFL quality talent in in college and put up one
• 55:07
  sack or two set. It was a one sack.
• 55:11
  Like, no. If you're putting up one sack
• 55:13
  against these guys now, what makes you think that you're
• 55:15
  going to put up sacks against them and the NFL where there's
• 55:18
  other guys that are just as good or better than them?
• 55:20
  No, a combination of both. A combination of numbers and
• 55:23
  traits. Nope.
• 55:27
  We need to I. Don't care.
• 55:28
  I don't care if you're slow. I don't care if you can't jump.
• 55:31
  If you can just go give me tackles and sacks, I don't care.
• 55:35
  You can be small, I don't care, they said.
• 55:38
  Reuben Baines got small, small arms now like I would.
• 55:41
  Take Reuben things. More.
• 55:43
  If he's available until you run into the podium.
• 55:46
  Yes, yes. I'd turn in to pick myself.
• 55:50
  Yeah. It's like small arms.
• 55:51
  Like, no, you drafted Reuben Bain because he's a monster and
• 55:54
  you can get to the quarterback. Small arms Is is the knock
• 55:57
  against him. Like, are you kidding me?
• 56:00
  Joke. It's a joke.
• 56:01
  Well, maybe that'll help. Lamar had small hands.
• 56:03
  And what was it? Lamar had small hands.
• 56:06
  Well, nobody thought Lamar could be a quarterback in the NFL like
• 56:09
  Marvin Lewis is making jokes about it.
• 56:12
  Stupid. He can't be like he did in that
• 56:16
  Hard Knocks episode where he ran over the curb and.
• 56:20
  Yeah, I remember. And then we drive and then
• 56:22
  they're like, you know what? We don't need Lamar Jackson,
• 56:26
  Give me. Billy Price, who will play for
• 56:28
  you. Billy Price, give me.
• 56:30
  Billy Price. What a joke.
• 56:33
  Scotty Sheffler. What?
• 56:36
  Probably because Billy Bryce, Billy Price could bench press
• 56:39
  400 lbs Thirty times. I don't care what I.
• 56:42
  Believe but but but Duke Tobin loves him because he could bitch
• 56:45
  press a bunch of weight joke. No joke.
• 56:50
  I'm not binding dog. Get this combine crap here.
• 56:54
  What? The combine sucks.
• 56:57
  But it's an opportunity to hear Duke Tobin speak.
• 56:58
  You just be the only time. Now it's.
• 57:00
  Twice. You know who another combine guy
• 57:01
  was? First round pick of the Bengals.
• 57:03
  It sucked. John Ross.
• 57:05
  John Ross ran the fastest 40 of like, any wide receiver of all
• 57:09
  time. What?
• 57:10
  Let's draft him. He's going to be a Bengal.
• 57:11
  And he sucked. He was absolutely terrible.
• 57:14
  I'm tired of the combine. I'm tired of Duke Tobin.
• 57:16
  I'm tired of the combine. I'm tired of all this crap.
• 57:18
  I might be able to watch the combine.
• 57:21
  I'm going to pay attention to the combine.
• 57:22
  I'm not doing anything with the combine.
• 57:24
  Get it out of here. Anything else, Anything else,
• 57:27
  Anything else with the combine I want.
• 57:29
  I want TA Simpson to go top ten though because makes another
• 57:33
  quarterback to where Bengals could potentially get a better
• 57:36
  player at 10. Scotty Scheffler finally didn't
• 57:39
  finish in the top ten. He's not a machine.
• 57:42
  He had strung together 18 straight top 10s, which is a
• 57:46
  record he tied for 12th on at the at Genesis.
• 57:51
  Dude was 5 over through ten holes on Thursday and then he
• 57:55
  got saved by the darkness and didn't finish his round and end
• 58:00
  up finishing 12th. 1st off, what's going on with Scotty on
• 58:03
  Thursdays? Because at three in a row he's
• 58:06
  been awful. Yeah, like these multiple
• 58:08
  tournaments where he's not come out ready to play.
• 58:12
  Is he getting hammered on Wednesdays?
• 58:13
  Is he coming in hungover? Like what is he doing?
• 58:16
  He might be. He might be.
• 58:18
  Or maybe he's, he's, he's a dad. So maybe he's on dad duty Monday
• 58:21
  for Tuesday and Wednesday, and by the time Thursday rolls
• 58:24
  around, he's like, oh, I got a golf tournament this morning.
• 58:27
  I don't know. But he he figures it out midway.
• 58:30
  He figures it out after Thursday.
• 58:32
  Well, yeah, he finished T3 and T4 and the other two despite
• 58:37
  almost being last on Thursday. Here's to put his streak of 18
• 58:43
  in perspective. The longest prior streak was VJ
• 58:48
  Singh, who had 12 straight in 1983 and then Tiger had eleven
• 58:56
  straight and Scotty was at 18 and I mean, he still finished
• 59:01
  12th. He still finished Todd for 12th
• 59:03
  after starting the tournament 5 over through ten holes.
• 59:06
  Yeah. I mean, if you come out more
• 59:08
  mentally prepared, you'll be be winning these things.
• 59:12
  Jacob Bridgeman was competing last week and then found the
• 59:15
  ocean, tried to hit off the tried to hit it off the sand and
• 59:19
  ended up having to go back to where his original shot was,
• 59:21
  which kept him from having any chance to win.
• 59:24
  Went into Sunday with the six stroke league was like this is
• 59:27
  going to be easy and ended up ends up winning by 1.
• 59:32
  And admittedly after he's like, yeah, it wasn't as easy as I
• 59:35
  thought it was going to be. Well, no kidding bro.
• 59:38
  You're playing on the PGA Tour. Like it's kind of conceded a
• 59:41
  little bit that you think it's going to be that easy.
• 59:44
  And they got on him pretty good on the broadcast, too.
• 59:47
  Where was your boy Rick at? I finished tied for 28th, just
• 59:53
  for 9 top 20 of the of the year. Had a had another, he had a
• 59:59
  really bad Fri, he had a bad Thursday and a bad Saturday.
• 1:00:04
  Played pretty well on Friday and Sunday.
• 1:00:08
  But he's got to get his act together if he wants to play in
• 1:00:10
  Augusta. Got to get the top 50 world
• 1:00:15
  rankings by then. So it's going to take probably
• 1:00:18
  the top five in one of these next three tournaments.
• 1:00:20
  Where's he at right now? In the world rankings, he's like
• 1:00:24
  60 something. The Preakness this year is going
• 1:00:28
  to be at Laurel Park, which is kind of a trend as we've seen
• 1:00:33
  the Belmont, the Belmont Stakes being raced at Saratoga the last
• 1:00:36
  two years. All these tracks are getting
• 1:00:39
  renovations. They're doing a 4-4 hundred,
• 1:00:42
  $500 million renovation at Puma Co, but normally attendance at
• 1:00:48
  Pimlico is 60 is estimated around 63,000.
• 1:00:51
  Laurel Park says that the they're capping the attendance
• 1:00:55
  at 4800. Can we not find somewhere else
• 1:01:00
  to have this race? Yeah, What are we doing?
• 1:01:02
  What's the actual like? Is that the capacity of Laurel
• 1:01:04
  Park? Are they scared that things are
• 1:01:06
  going to get out of control? Do they have an infield?
• 1:01:08
  Like can people not go to the infield?
• 1:01:09
  I definitely not going to be an infield.
• 1:01:12
  Well, I don't know. That's what they, and that's
• 1:01:13
  what the Preakness is known for. You see the Preakness like they,
• 1:01:17
  it's a huge party out there. They've got concerts and the
• 1:01:19
  whole shebang going. Like if you're not going to do
• 1:01:21
  it right, then don't do it at all.
• 1:01:24
  Got to find somewhere else. Got to find.
• 1:01:26
  There's one thing to move from Belmont to Saratoga, where some
• 1:01:29
  people are like this is an upgrade moving to Saratoga
• 1:01:32
  because Saratoga is such a nice track.
• 1:01:34
  Obviously you you lose the history of it, but you're going
• 1:01:38
  to have less than 5000 people at the the Preakness Stakes.
• 1:01:42
  And look, I get it, Derby winners, the last two out of
• 1:01:44
  three years haven't gone to Piblico.
• 1:01:47
  So if you got less than 5000 people, the Derby winner doesn't
• 1:01:51
  go. Is NBC going to pull it too
• 1:01:53
  where they don't even show it? It should, I mean like, what are
• 1:01:57
  we 4000 people like that's like what you like what you go to
• 1:02:01
  like Kentucky Downs or some nonsense like that, like.
• 1:02:05
  I want, I do want to go to Kentucky this, this, this fall.
• 1:02:11
  Somewhere on the Tennessee border, right?
• 1:02:13
  Yeah, we can go to Nashville. OK.
• 1:02:16
  Go to the races at Kentucky Downs, hit up Nashville.
• 1:02:18
  They only race for one week of the whole year.
• 1:02:21
  There's the Mint casinos right there.
• 1:02:24
  Hit up the horse track, hit up the casino.
• 1:02:25
  Go to downtown Nashville. I want that on the schedule and
• 1:02:28
  maybe mix in some golf make, make a whole thing of it.
• 1:02:32
  Now you're speaking. You're speaking my language.
• 1:02:34
  Dude I'm playing on Friday, where at?
• 1:02:37
  You trying to play the Oaks? We're at the Oaks.
• 1:02:41
  No, supposed to be. It's finally going to be warm.
• 1:02:44
  It's like 60 something degrees. It was in the 70s last week.
• 1:02:47
  Why didn't you play on Wednesday last week?
• 1:02:49
  I had work bro. People have to work on Fridays
• 1:02:53
  too bro. I'm taking a taking 1/2 day on
• 1:02:55
  Friday. You don't ever work in the
• 1:02:59
  alumni office, do you? I work all the time.
• 1:03:02
  A hard. Work all the time.
• 1:03:04
  You you said before the show, Hey, we, we got any funny
• 1:03:07
  stories? We got any funny stories?
• 1:03:09
  I need some funny stories. Because you, you always come
• 1:03:12
  with the funny stories. Here's here's a funny story.
• 1:03:15
  She got the. The Breaking Bad House.
• 1:03:21
  Yeah. Evidently the lady that lives
• 1:03:26
  there allowed them to use the house for filming.
• 1:03:28
  It's in New Mexico, right? Yeah.
• 1:03:31
  Yeah, she. She gets so mad about people
• 1:03:35
  driving by all the time and trying to look at it.
• 1:03:39
  And the city won't allow or this whatever her neighborhood or
• 1:03:42
  whatever won't allow her to turn it into like, a tourist
• 1:03:45
  attraction. So she can't, like, charge
• 1:03:46
  people to come in and look at it and make money off of it.
• 1:03:50
  Yeah, she gets tired of people just always docking at her
• 1:03:53
  house. Like, that's the Walter White
• 1:03:54
  House. That's where the pizza was on
• 1:03:55
  the roof. So she's like, I'm going to, I'm
• 1:03:58
  going to sell it for $4 billion. OK.
• 1:04:03
  It's got, it's got some, I mean prestige to it.
• 1:04:06
  It's a famous house. I can understand trying to sell
• 1:04:09
  and make some some some coin, yeah.
• 1:04:11
  She's lived there for 50 years. It's not like she just bought
• 1:04:13
  it. It's trying to profit off of it.
• 1:04:16
  Do you know what she got? My guess is it's not going to be
• 1:04:21
  4 million. No, cut that by 10.
• 1:04:28
  She got $400,000 for it. It was, it was bought by some
• 1:04:33
  streamer named Adam. These Youtubers, they all have
• 1:04:38
  way too much money. And he's, he says he's going to
• 1:04:43
  do some cool Breaking Bad stuff with it.
• 1:04:45
  I I don't know what he can possibly do if she couldn't do
• 1:04:48
  anything with it as far as turning it into a like a tourist
• 1:04:52
  attraction. Maybe you turn it into like a
• 1:04:54
  Airbnb where people can stay there.
• 1:04:56
  I think that would make sense. That wouldn't be a tourist
• 1:04:58
  attraction. Maybe that's what he's going to
• 1:04:59
  do with it. But you've never even watched
• 1:05:03
  Break I. Understand, all right, so let's
• 1:05:06
  break it down here. Like I understand her
• 1:05:09
  frustration and you know, her being, you know, tired of people
• 1:05:15
  just coming by and just looking at the house in 24/7.
• 1:05:17
  I get that. But you did allow them to film
• 1:05:21
  the the show there, like when you give you put your house on
• 1:05:24
  TV and it's a good show. I'm sure she.
• 1:05:27
  Got paid. You got to come to expect this.
• 1:05:32
  Sure, she made some money off of it.
• 1:05:34
  But my my point is is I'd be even more mad if I was the
• 1:05:38
  neighbors. Like she's got to have next door
• 1:05:41
  neighbors, right? They're not making anything off
• 1:05:43
  of it and they still get all the traffic.
• 1:05:45
  They're coming and gawking at the house.
• 1:05:47
  The neighbors are the ones really getting screwed to you.
• 1:05:50
  The whole situation is not really the greatest.
• 1:05:54
  Then if you and if you're living next door and they now you got
• 1:05:56
  this 20 year old YouTube or whoever this guy is that just
• 1:06:00
  bought the house, then you're like, oh hell, like what's he
• 1:06:02
  going to do with it? And as you said, you turn it
• 1:06:04
  into some Airbnb where you just got a bunch of random weirdos
• 1:06:07
  running through there non-stop. All took all year long.
• 1:06:11
  No, like I'm moving too. I'm getting out of there.
• 1:06:14
  Which is what he's going to do, right?
• 1:06:18
  Probably so if I'm the neighbors, I don't want that.
• 1:06:21
  Like I'm getting out of there. I'm selling my house too.
• 1:06:24
  They're all going to get out of there.
• 1:06:27
  Which if you sold your house and you're the neighbor, I mean, you
• 1:06:29
  probably will make above market value because you are living
• 1:06:32
  right next to the Breaking Bad house.
• 1:06:35
  But yeah, I'm getting out of that neighborhood.
• 1:06:37
  If I might, you might take market value down.
• 1:06:39
  Unless you're Breaking Bad fame. Which also how you never watch
• 1:06:43
  Breaking Bad. I've watched bits and pieces.
• 1:06:48
  I. Probably watched more better
• 1:06:49
  calls. I watched.
• 1:06:51
  I watched like I watched a couple seasons of the Better
• 1:06:53
  Call Saul. Why would you watch Better Call
• 1:06:56
  Saul without seeing Breaking Bad?
• 1:06:58
  I saw enough of Breaking Bad. I saw bits of my wife watched
• 1:07:01
  all of it. But I would I would TuneIn every
• 1:07:04
  once in a while and catch the Pete bits like I understand the
• 1:07:07
  story and what's in everything. And so, you know, I saw enough
• 1:07:10
  of it. It was my favorite show that
• 1:07:12
  I've ever watched was just hooked on it and I started
• 1:07:20
  watching it before like right at the end, like maybe the the the
• 1:07:24
  last season or the season before, but I I finished it
• 1:07:27
  before it was done, like being week to week, just just the
• 1:07:34
  Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, like it's one of the best shows.
• 1:07:39
  And then Saul, like it's such. And I've watched Better Call
• 1:07:42
  Saul too. Another great show.
• 1:07:44
  I like Saul. Saul Flairy.
• 1:07:46
  Like who watches Better Call Saul without watching the entire
• 1:07:49
  Breaking Bad? Makes zero sense.
• 1:07:53
  Makes 0. Sense I still haven't seen the
• 1:07:55
  last couple episodes of Friday Night Lights.
• 1:07:57
  Wait. Wait till it comes on.
• 1:07:58
  You're waiting till it comes out on DVD or something.
• 1:08:00
  I don't know what you're waiting on.
• 1:08:02
  Oh sure it's already out on DVD but watch every episode until
• 1:08:06
  like there's I have like 3 left. Yeah, I don't.
• 1:08:08
  I can't remember the end of Friday Night Lights.
• 1:08:12
  Dude, have you ever like, you know how like you, you bite your
• 1:08:16
  your lip or you burn the roof of your mouth sometimes?
• 1:08:19
  Yeah. Have you ever been eating like
• 1:08:23
  chips and queso? And like you, the chip is
• 1:08:27
  perfectly diagonal to where it actually takes a chunk out of
• 1:08:32
  the roof of your mouth. Yeah, I feel like I've had that
• 1:08:36
  happen before. Yeah, it's painful.
• 1:08:40
  Happened to me, right? I have a chunk of the roof of my
• 1:08:43
  mouth that is just dangling right now.
• 1:08:46
  Oh. Like the skin, because I hit it
• 1:08:48
  so hard. Oh, I went to, I went to get my
• 1:08:52
  hair. Cut.
• 1:08:54
  Yeah. Oh, you went over to Moe's?
• 1:08:56
  Yeah, they got the junior, They got the junior deal where you
• 1:08:58
  get the little burrito and chips and queso and a drink for like
• 1:09:01
  10 bucks right next to where I get my hair cut.
• 1:09:04
  So I I hit that up and then I'm eating the chips, dude, I swear.
• 1:09:09
  It's like I put a sword in the roof of my mouth and just
• 1:09:13
  straight up and I literally haven't.
• 1:09:17
  Yeah, it's still there. It's still dangling.
• 1:09:20
  OK. Yeah.
• 1:09:21
  Why don't you just, why don't you like, pick it out, cut it?
• 1:09:25
  I guess I could also. Did you go?
• 1:09:26
  Did you go to Moe's before or after you got your hair cut?
• 1:09:29
  What do you think? Probably after so you couldn't
• 1:09:35
  come to beer nose because you had to run straight home and
• 1:09:38
  shower to get all the hair off your your neck, even though you
• 1:09:41
  know when you get your hair cut, they put a towel there to
• 1:09:43
  prevent that from happening. But you couldn't come watch the
• 1:09:45
  game with your friends because you had to go home and shower to
• 1:09:48
  get the the small little loose hairs.
• 1:09:49
  But it's probably like two or three of them off of your neck
• 1:09:52
  that nobody can see. But you wouldn't mind.
• 1:09:54
  I think it's pretty, but you could.
• 1:09:56
  Go to mums. Yeah, for a 5 minute, a 5 minute
• 1:09:58
  pit stop to get food when I have to eat dinner, yes.
• 1:10:01
  Yeah, I can do that. Could go out through a drive,
• 1:10:03
  nobody would even see you but you.
• 1:10:04
  You can go to Moe's and walk into Moe's.
• 1:10:06
  Welcome to Moe's. Get your queso, get your chips,
• 1:10:08
  get your burrito with all apparently all this hair all
• 1:10:11
  over your neck. But you can't come hang out and
• 1:10:13
  watch basketball with your friends when when Louisville's
• 1:10:15
  playing. That's that says a lot says a
• 1:10:18
  lot about you. Does.
• 1:10:19
  It does it. Actually, the fact that you have
• 1:10:22
  to go home and shower right away says a lot about you because
• 1:10:27
  hey, it's not that bad. They they, they put an apron on
• 1:10:30
  the neck so tight that it can't even squeeze through and then
• 1:10:32
  they put a towel over it as well.
• 1:10:33
  So I'm probably didn't have that much hair to begin with, but
• 1:10:36
  definitely not enough to where you have to shower within the
• 1:10:38
  hour. Dude, I think it's absolutely
• 1:10:40
  normal for somebody to want to shower after getting a haircut.
• 1:10:43
  I don't think that's a weird thing.
• 1:10:44
  I don't think you have to shower within the.
• 1:10:46
  It's not like you have to go on and shower within an hour.
• 1:10:48
  That's why I had a lot of Barber shops.
• 1:10:49
  You get your hair washed at the facility.
• 1:10:53
  Nobody, but they also put a towel in an apron, so tied
• 1:10:56
  around your neck. The hair ain't going to stay.
• 1:10:58
  It's not going to be there. It's still minimal boosting.
• 1:11:01
  Your hair, it's still everywhere.
• 1:11:03
  So you can take a shower when you get home, but it doesn't
• 1:11:05
  have to be within 30 minutes of the haircut.
• 1:11:08
  For me it does. That's weird.
• 1:11:11
  That's weird, I mean. I'm not trying to sit here and
• 1:11:13
  say I'm a normal person. Bro I can't even tell you got
• 1:11:16
  your haircut, your hair is still too long, you can go back and
• 1:11:18
  get trimmed up. Right on the sides, bro, fresh
• 1:11:22
  on the sides. I'm not going to lie, it was a
• 1:11:27
  little longer this time, but I don't even look at it.
• 1:11:31
  I'm like she's like, do you need to look at it?
• 1:11:33
  I'm like, Nah, that's good. I think it I think it actually
• 1:11:35
  is a little longer this time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:11:38
  You start looking at it because it's long, but shout out to
• 1:11:42
  Tammy. Go see her at the The Great
• 1:11:45
  Clips on in Fern Creek. She'll get you.
• 1:11:48
  She'll get you cut up right. She'll make sure that there's no
• 1:11:50
  hair on your neck, even though Nick thinks there is.
• 1:11:52
  There's not, so don't worry about that part.
• 1:11:54
  But she'll get you done, right? Yeah, you follow her on
• 1:11:57
  Instagram too, like she's the Rottie mom, 23.
• 1:12:00
  She's stories about on TikTok, not Instagram.
• 1:12:03
  On TikTok, the stories with all of her doggies, her Rottweilers.
• 1:12:07
  Her dogs, yeah, OK. She's getting ready to breed
• 1:12:11
  them and she's trying to talk me out into to taking one and what?
• 1:12:16
  No, no, that is not happening. No chance, no chance.
• 1:12:24
  Did Y'all win bowling last night?
• 1:12:27
  Nope, lost in the playoffs. Season came to an end last
• 1:12:32
  night, but this season starts next week that.
• 1:12:35
  Was a fast season. That started started January
• 1:12:40
  6th. So however many weeks that is.
• 1:12:42
  Was that 8 weeks? 9 weeks.
• 1:12:45
  Y'all y'all need the. New season?
• 1:12:49
  Well, I don't want to talk too loudly, but my wife needs to
• 1:12:52
  pick a game up. She bought a 79 last night and
• 1:12:55
  that's just not acceptable. It's not.
• 1:12:57
  Y'all need more. Y'all need more chicks.
• 1:13:01
  We do need more chicks. Yeah, it's a Coed league. 8 on a
• 1:13:05
  team had to keep 5 scores. Two of them must be female.
• 1:13:09
  But when you only have two females on the team and their
• 1:13:11
  scores have to count every time, that's a problem.
• 1:13:14
  But shout out to Brooke. No, shout out.
• 1:13:17
  Shout out to Brooke Kemp shot. She bowled a 180 career high 180
• 1:13:21
  last night for Brooke. And y'all still lost.
• 1:13:24
  That's getting it. And y'all still yeah, 'cause
• 1:13:26
  Erica bowled a 79. Well, Erica bowled a 79.
• 1:13:29
  So I bowled A186IN Game 2 and still didn't.
• 1:13:33
  I had a 186 in Game 2 and it still didn't matter.
• 1:13:35
  We still lost. New season next week.
• 1:13:42
  Golf season is almost here. I propose see what you say us to
• 1:13:48
  do some some golf videos with me and you against each other on
• 1:13:53
  some holes to try to promote the height differential.
• 1:13:56
  All right, I'm in. Don't cry when I beat you.
• 1:13:59
  Well, don't cry when I beat you. We're both going to get beat on
• 1:14:02
  holes like it's not going to be an undefeated thing.
• 1:14:06
  One else might win more holes in the other, but nobody's going to
• 1:14:08
  go undefeated. No, I thought, yeah, I'm talking
• 1:14:10
  about like the the, the totality of the match if we do like a
• 1:14:12
  match. Yeah, but I say you, we can just
• 1:14:15
  record a bunch of holes and put them out there because nobody's
• 1:14:17
  going to watch us play an entire round.
• 1:14:19
  We just need to find somebody who wants to video it.
• 1:14:23
  Also, before we jump off, you finally did it.
• 1:14:31
  But yeah, I don't know what I did, what I do.
• 1:14:33
  You bought Indiana national championship gear.
• 1:14:36
  Oh yeah we got it dude. Shout out to fanatics.
• 1:14:39
  Came within like 2 days. Look at that.
• 1:14:41
  Got a little hoodie on here. What all do we get?
• 1:14:46
  Got ourselves a hoodie, got ourselves this nice little natty
• 1:14:49
  champion hat right there. You know, natty, natty champs.
• 1:14:54
  Got the official locker room T the black T-shirt that says
• 1:14:57
  national champions on it. Got the SI cover and framed that
• 1:15:02
  Mendoza diving into the end zone.
• 1:15:04
  So the SI national championship cover also got some other some
• 1:15:09
  some other thing to hang on the wall that has some commemorative
• 1:15:12
  something or other on it. National champions and the wife
• 1:15:15
  got a got some national championship gears.
• 1:15:18
  Yeah, couple $100 later. Was anything on sale since it's
• 1:15:23
  been a little bit or was everything still full price?
• 1:15:25
  Yes, the the official locker room T was was marked down to
• 1:15:28
  1999 down from 45 or whatever it was originally.
• 1:15:32
  So that was the the only the only sale item.
• 1:15:35
  But yes, there was. There's a few things.
• 1:15:38
  OK, I'm I'm glad you finally bought something.
• 1:15:41
  I was worried everything has to be gone and you won't be able to
• 1:15:43
  get anything. No.
• 1:15:44
  We ordered it last Wednesday and it it was here by Friday.
• 1:15:47
  Some things came yesterday, but very very quick, very efficient
• 1:15:51
  shout out fanatics did a great job.
• 1:15:53
  Last night the Morehead State Eagles beat Southern Indiana by
• 1:15:56
  1 to move to 14 and five in the OVC.
• 1:16:02
  My boy Johnny Maddox is getting it done in Morehead.
• 1:16:05
  See if they can win the OVC tournament and get back to the
• 1:16:08
  dance. Did you just put put your hand
• 1:16:12
  on your head like that was a stupid thing to say?
• 1:16:15
  Yeah, it's kind of stupid. Dude, this is the first.
• 1:16:20
  Time in. How many episodes have we done
• 1:16:23
  on the height differential now? A lot.
• 1:16:27
  Once. Yeah.
• 1:16:28
  Episode 30. It's the first time you've ever
• 1:16:30
  said you have an allegiance to Morehead.
• 1:16:33
  What am I supposed to say it just in every random episode?
• 1:16:36
  Hey, I used to be the head. What a random you're like when
• 1:16:38
  you've ever heard it's just. It's just random when you're all
• 1:16:42
  of a sudden out of nowhere. Like, shout out to the Morehead
• 1:16:45
  Eagles, who won by one point last night.
• 1:16:46
  I was like. I was wearing the hoodie, I was
• 1:16:50
  wearing the hoodie. I didn't put the hoodie on I was
• 1:16:53
  wearing. Like if people knew that you had
• 1:16:54
  a background affiliation to Morehead, maybe they would
• 1:16:56
  understand it, but that was just a random thing to do that made
• 1:16:59
  no sense whatsoever. My boy Johnny Maddox was a
• 1:17:01
  graduate assistant when I was the athletic media relations
• 1:17:04
  director there. Now the head coach got him to
• 1:17:07
  414 and five in the league. Chance to win the regular season
• 1:17:11
  and then next week, OVC tournament, see if they get
• 1:17:14
  back. It's my guy.
• 1:17:17
  We called him John, Johnny Basketball, Johnny B.
• 1:17:22
  They're like the Cardiac Eagles. Every game's like, huh, Do what?
• 1:17:29
  What's a shout out to to Johnny BI said.
• 1:17:32
  Good for Johnny B, said Shout out to Johnny B.
• 1:17:34
  You cut out there for a while. That was the name of this Johnny
• 1:17:36
  B. Yep.
• 1:17:38
  So go eggs, go ahead. Glad you got your IU gear.
• 1:17:43
  Next week is March, but remember to subscribe to the high
• 1:17:49
  differential wherever you listen to podcasts, rate and leave a
• 1:17:53
  review. Follow us on social media.
• 1:17:55
  You can watch Neil be an idiot on all of our shorts.
• 1:17:58
  You got nothing. Pull some random shirt out the
• 1:18:00
  closet next week and start promoting it.
• 1:18:02
  Do it, I will applaud it. Shout out to Adidas.
• 1:18:06

• 1:18:20
  with the T-shirt. Whatever do, I'm just glad you
• 1:18:23
  finally got your gear for the 66 nail.
• 1:18:28
  I got it right for the 410. Nick, you even listen to the
• 1:18:31
  high differential. We will catch you again next
• 1:18:34
  week. Give it to me.
• 1:18:42
  Me. You're an idiot.
• 1:18:44
  Shout out to Moorhead. They won by one last night over
• 1:18:46
  southeast Missouri. Like what?
• 1:18:48
  Who, Who freaking cares? Nobody cares.
• 1:18:53
  Nobody. I know you care, but our
• 1:18:55
  listeners have no idea why you care about Moorhead.
• 1:18:58
  Because you wear the sweatshirt. That's why I said it.
• 1:19:00
  I can't just wear the sweatshirt for no reason.
