• 0:04
  Speaker 1: This is a podcast called twenty fives Stuck in Sports,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and they went a wi So, yeah, it's too bad,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: but what did you expect. It's a podcast called twenty
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: five Whistles, twenty wine win. Hey guys, Me Solo and
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: net Kurtz on my left side especially. I was at
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the batting cages yesterday and hitting baseballs too, by the way,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: which I haven't hit baseballs in many years. And so I
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: go with a buddy of mine and we get there
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and there's like twenty five ten year olds that showed
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: up five minutes before us, and so they have completely
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: taken over the cages with the pitching machines, and rightfully,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: so the batting cages aren't really for adult men whatever.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: There are some softball guys out there sometimes, but mostly yeah,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: it's kids who are playing baseball. And so we get there,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: so we decided we're gonna get a one of these rooms,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: one of the areas where you can actually throw batting practice.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: And so it's him and I. We borrowed a bat
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and we got a bucket of balls, and so we're
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: throwing in swinging two things our bodies don't normally do.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: And so yeah, left side of my neck is killing me.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: My back's a little tweaked. But and I'll say it
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: now maybe I won't be so specific, but the All
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Star weekend is in Atlanta, not this weekend, but next weekend,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and I will be participating in something where I have
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to hit baseball as far. So that is what I'm
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: practicing for. And I guess more than practicing, I'm just
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: trying to get to a place where I don't get
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: there and embarrass myself. So it's kind of the goal.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: But we did that yesterday. I'm a little bit sore.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And again I played rex softball last year. I played
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: in the MLB Celebrity Softball Game last year and that
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: was fun. Heck, I was MVP. That was awesome, really
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: really fun night. But having a baseball, like a fast
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: pitch baseball. So finally, after we threw a bunch of
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: batting practice to each other, we got into a machine
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: because I guess the kids left, and we put it
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: on sixty miles an hour and just swung away regardless.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sores. Crap, I'm here, but I'm gonna try not
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to embarrass myself coming up. And now I can give
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you more details soon I'm sure. I don't even think
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I'm supposed to say that, but it's in like a
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: week and a half, so I really don't think they
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: care what I say. But it will be in Atlanta.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: If anybody's listening to this in Atlanta, and it's gonna
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: be that weekend, it's actually gonna be the Sunday. I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: can tell you that of All Star weekend, and you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: want to come out, would love to see you, would
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: love to meet you, that type of thing. So yeah,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that's where we are as of right now. I also
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: was looking at this least attractive hobbies for men to have,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and I think the reason that it popped up in
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: my feed is because I was probably doing a very
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: un attractive hobby for an adult man, which was I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: was in a batting cage when there were kids all around.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So probably the bad of purpose though, right, But here
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: we go, the top fifteen least attractive hobbies two women
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that men do. Number one is comic books, and I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: don't have any comic books. I have friends that have
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: comic books. And I don't want to be terribly judgmental
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: about any of these, because I'm sure I have some
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of these. I would like five or six, and I
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: stopped and thought I would just read them as I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: did this segment and react to them. But women think
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: comic books are really nerdy. It's number one at thirty
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: three percent here on the list. Think about comic books
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: is much like baseball cards, and that may pop up later.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: There's some real value if you get a good one,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you get an old one, you say, like, there's some
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: value in that. But also it's like comic books are
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: hurting anybody and also nerve. I'll say that because I
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: think I am a nerd. Also, nerds end up being
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: everybody's bosses in school. Oh you're a nerd. Oh your dork.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: You're by yourself, you're reading your books. Yeah, they end
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: up being everybody's bosses. But I hear you comic books
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: at number one and number two. Costplay. Now, I watched
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: a TikTok video I think it was last night, where
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: there's this creator and he goes to these i'll call
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: them costplay fairs where all these people are dressed up
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: like video game characters. And I've seen them do this
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: on a few so it's not like I came across
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: this one time. But there was a dude dressed up
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: like recket Ralph from the cartoon, and he goes and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: he has this huge tent and he's with this dude
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: who's dressed up like reckitt Ralph and the guy's foling
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: in character and he says, wreck of Ralph, will you
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: switch your costumes with whatever is in the tent? And
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the guy's like, I don't know. I've been record Ralph
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: for like the past twelve years. Do I want to switch?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: And the guys like it's up to you. But once
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you switch, you don't get your other costume back, and
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: so the guy's like, Okay, let's do it. It's kind
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of a fun video because the guy goes in the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: tent and I don't even know who he came out as.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: It was like some dog and he had a spot
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: over his eye and he was in it looked like
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a Ghostbuster's uniform. I didn't know the cartoon, but I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: thought the content was really fun. And you know, I'm
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: not gonna hate on anybody going to any costplay stuff
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: because if I were a Jersey to a game like
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a little Bit That's gossplaying, it's like a tiny fraction
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: number three debating. Yah, I don't know a single person
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: who would say their hobby is debating. I know people
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: who are challenging and argumentative. I think I'm one of them,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and I kind of do it on the air, But
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: debating as a hobby, I don't know. Debating as a hobby,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know anyone that does that. At number three,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I did see last night my wife and I went
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to dinner and we were driving by the sign that
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: said trivia every Thursday night at Quirky's at like seven
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: thirty pm. And Corky's is a barbecue chain, and I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: told my wife. I was like, I'll go if you'll go,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and I'd probably go anyway, but she was like, no,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: think you don't think I don't want to do trivia night.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if trivia pops up on this,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: but trivia night and debating, I'm gonna put those in
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the same kind of category. I love trivia and not
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to super flex on everybody, but in seventh grade, I
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: was the captain of the twelfth grade quiz Bowl team.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: That's right. And again, I know trivia and debating are
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: not the same thing, but I think for this they
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: kind of are. I think they fit in that same category.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: At least I'm gonna put them in that category. But
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: it was like the one thing in my life that
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I was good at where I naturally would just show
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: up and people knew that guy was good at that
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: because I was a seventh grader. I was twelve years
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: old competing against seventeen year olds. And when I was
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: in seventh grade, it wasn't like I was dominating seventeen
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: year olds, but I can mix it up. I was
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: like a rookie batting about two sixty five. His rookie
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: year two sixty five, two seventy hit about twenty four
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: home runs. Enough to where you go, man, respect and
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: bright future? And boy was at a bright future. I
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: was awesome at quiz bole. But that's the only thing
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: in my life really that I've been able to do
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and do so well that my reputation preceded me. And
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I would show up to quiz Bowl tournaments and people
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: would be like, Oh, that's the kid. That's pretty cool.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Thinking back, yeah, that's nerdy too, though. Next up is
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: drinking fourth on the list twenty nine percent. I don't
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: drink at all, but it does seem fun. And I've
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: said this many times that it sure does seem fun
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that all my friends can just relax and have a drink.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying that, and then I'm gonna start
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: drinking tomorrow. I don't think at this point I'll ever drink,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: mostly because now it's like I got a really long
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: streak of never having a drink, but drinking at number
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: four as part of a hobby. Number five MTG. Now
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: this is where I stopped reading the list because I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: wanted to do that a live and get my reaction.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know what MTG is, so I'm gonna type
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: it into Google. What is MTG as a hobby? Confused
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: as what that means? Here we go. EMPTG stands for
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Magic the Gathering, got it, which is the collectible trading
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: card game. As a hobby, it can mean a few
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: different things depending on how someone is into it. It's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: a strategy card game where players build decks and battle
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: each other using spells, creatures, and magical abilities. It was
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: created in nineteen ninety three. It was the first ever
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: trading card game, and it's still wildly popular. It has
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: fantasy themes think wizards, dragons, and elves. MTG Magic the Gathering,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: some rare magic cards are worth thousands of dollars. One
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: black Lotus card, the Holy Grail of MTG, sold for
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: over five hundred thousand dollars. That's keep people out of trouble.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I got no problem with it. Nerdy, yeah, but again,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I'm pro nerd, so when I say something's nerdy, that's okay.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: We're a nerd. But yeah, nerdiest crap two, three, four five.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: We're at number six on the list where twenty seven
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: percent of women say this is the least attractive. It's anime.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: There are certain things that I realized are probably really good.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I've just never gotten into them because I don't have
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the interest. But I also respect the fact that they're
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: probably really good based on it's worldwide popularity. I would
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: like to walk through some of them. Soccer. Everybody loves
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: soccer that has had soccer exposure from an early age.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: It is the biggest sport in the world, right not
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: for me. Didn't play growing up. I grew up in
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: rural Arkansas. We didn't have soccer. We didn't have a
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: soccer team. We had a football team, we had a
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: basketball team, we had a baseball team, but we did
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: not have our home baseball field we had to go
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: play our home games at a school called Jesseville's Field,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: and they made fun of us for it because we
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: were too poor to have our own field. But we
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: did have those three sports. We did have a track team,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: except we did not have a track and mostly it
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: was off season football and coach Gandalf made us run track.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: And if we didn't run on the track team, we
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: did play baseball. We did have to do district because
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: baseball is usually over by district. We didn't have track team,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: so we didn't have soccer for sure, But I do
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: understand that soccer is amazing, even though to me it
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: is not amazing. Another one of those the Sopranos. Never
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: seen an episode. I know how it ends, but I've
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: never seen an episode. But you know what, it's probably
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: awesome if you start from the beginning and watch it.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that back then and probably even today, it
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: is awesome. So many people love it that I trust
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and swear by the same thing with Godfather, similar as
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: vib right, that it's probably awesome, and I just don't
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: understand it. And I'm going to put anime in that
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: category wildly popular. I'd put it in the category with
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: comic books and cosplay. Mostly these women are finding nerds unattractive,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: which kind of sucks because I'll say it again, nerds
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: end up being the boss. But anime comes in at
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: number six on the list. Dragon Ball is the only
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: anime that I can think of. I'm sure there's more.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Is Power Rangers anime? No that's not that's humans. Is
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: there a Power Rangers anime? Again? If I go to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Google and I say, what are the most popular anime
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: series of all time? Let's learn something together. Here, here
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: we go, dragon Ball, dragon Ball Z at number one.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: They say that's the gateway anime for millions. I'm gonna
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: say this wrong, guy, So if you're an anime freak,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: respect But to sorry Naruto, it's the Coming of Age
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Ninja Saga number three one piece, it's a pirate adventure
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: still going strong with over one thousand episodes. Oh, Pokemon
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: was the one. That's the one that I probably should
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: have known. Yeah, I know what that is. And then
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: number five Attack on Titan. So those are the biggest
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: anime of all time or animes or anime show. However
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: you say that number seven makeup, I don't know what
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that means. As a hobby that would make up be
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: a hobby unless you were dressing like a woman. But
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: that's is I don't know if that's a hobby, I
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: don't know. I want to get that one. Next up
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: is crypto. Totally understand how women could be annoyed with
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: crypto bros. By the way, I don't know anybody that's
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: made me real money off crypto, like I've made some
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: money off crypto, except I've never cashed it out. And
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the only reason I made money off crypto was six
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: years ago. I put a couple thousand dollars in because
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it was the thing, and I forgot about it, and
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I put it in an account and I just forgot
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: And then I opened it up a year and a
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: half or so ago and it had times six or seven.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: But if I were if I had been involved in
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: it all time, I would have sold it at some point.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: So I know nothing about crypto except what I've learned
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in the past few years, and I've been very fortunate
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: that I bought it and forgot it. Next step of cigars,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Guys that are obsessed with cigars smoking anything just seems
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: gross to me, and no judgment on the moral part
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of smoking anything, I really have. I don't care what
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you do in your own time, lungch you're not hurting
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: animals or kids, and you're generally nice to other people.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: All good smoking stuff gross and with a cigar. I
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: could be wrong here. I've never smoked a cigar. I
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: never smoked a cigarette. I've never smoked anything. But you
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: don't like inhale, right, don't you just go? Is that
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: what it is? My cigar culture is very weak. Right
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: next up clubbing. So what I'd say to this is,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I think he's number eleven. I think if you're over
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: like twenty six and you're still going to the club,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: there's a mark of like twenty four. Anything past that,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: you start to go back down the mountain of coolness.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: But I then going to the club's cool. Twenty Some
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: clubs can't get in unto twenty one, probably most, but
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four still cool.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Twenty five is fine, But I'm saying it then stops
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: going climbing up the mountain to that yodler homey you
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: know it is coming back down the other side of
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the mountain. So I would say clubbing at twenty five
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: starts to get less cool twenty six, more so less
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: twenty seven. If you're like thirty three and you're in
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the club, I get why women are not attracted to that.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Weed is next, and I think that's probably if that
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: is your identity. There are people that we know that
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: make weed a massive part of their identity. That's what
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: they're known for. So I would say weed funko makes
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the list. I don't know what that is. I have
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: funko pops. I have a few of them. I have
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: six behind me right now. Three signed by Chris Stapleton,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: three signed by Dolly Parton, and they were both very
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: nice to sign them because I use them to auction
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: off or give as part of any sort of charity
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: initiative that I do. Not any but some. But I
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: bought them on eBay, the Christapleton or the Dolly Parton,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and then I just went to them more like hey,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: will you sign this, and blindly they were like yeah, sure.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: So I get the funkos. I have a Dan Marino
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: funko pop. But is that a culture? Is funko a culture?
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: If so? I don't know want in funko culture. I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: just know people who have the occasional funko pop. I've
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: actually got a couple of myself. Two. There are four
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: left arguing online at twelve point three percent. My assumption
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: is that means people that are weirdos and freakos on
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Reddit and just get on and troll people. Porn. Yeah.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: The thing about porn as a least attractive hobby is
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: most dudes who are into it don't share their into it,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: which I think is why it's not higher on the list.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I think it'd be number one if more dudes are like, yeah,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, this is how much I'm into it.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: But because most dudes are kind of ashamed of it,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: it's way down the list. Gambling and I'm not sure
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: what number one on Let's see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and number fifteen. It's gambling, and again I think this
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: is one two that for the most part, people who
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: gamble a lot don't often share how much they actually gamble.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I feel like I have a very healthy relationship with it.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: You know. One of the major sponsors over the past
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: couple of years of twenty five Whistles has been DraftKings,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and I haven't. I know that if I get too
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: wrapped up in it, I will become completely consumed with it,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: just like anything else, not even that it's just gambling.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: But I feel like I have a fun relationship with gambling.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: That I don't bet anything that I know I can't lose.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I like losing. It also doesn't mean
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well said, how fun was that? Yeah, you
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: can still get pissed, but it never ruins my day.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: And I think at a time I can tell you
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: back in the day for me two thousand three the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, I played so much poker, like
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: hold Them and this is right in the boom as well.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I was reading books. I was so consumed with poker.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Now poker can be anything else that I often get
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: myself into. I was so consumed with poker that if
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I wasn't reading a book on how to figure out
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the pod odds, or if I wasn't reading a book
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: on watching tells on other players or playing against I
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: was reading books on the biography of Doyle Brunson. You know.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: So I was really obsessed. And I was living in Austin,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Texas at the time, and there were these home games,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and so you would go and at the front door
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you would buy your chips. They'd give you chips, and
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: it was mostly tournament play. They weren't cash games. I
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: rarely played in any cash games. I liked tournament play
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: because everybody started off equal on Once you were out,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you were out. It wasn't just to make a show
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: up with a bunch of money and I would lose
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: a bunch of money. Or if you played with in
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: cash games, why I don't like them for the most
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: part is people with more cash can just bully other people.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: And if you're a good enough player, that doesn't matter.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: But I wasn't a good enough player. I was a
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: pretty good player. I wasn't a good enough player. So
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I liked tournament play. Everybody was equal. There'd be twenty
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: four people, eighteen people. We'd go in. We'd give them
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: two hundred fifty bucks or something, and then we'd play
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: our tournament. They give you a little deal. And sometimes
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: down in the basement, sometimes you're playing like in a
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I really wasn't. There weren't many basements in Texas. In
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: different parts of the house. You'd be playing in different
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: rooms and So there were a couple instances where we
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: were playing in a basement or like a shed area,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: but people would be in all these different rooms and
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I probably played nine to twelve of those. Go to
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: somebody's house. You never know the person, it's always you're
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: in this small group. So the word got around, you know,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: next Tuesday, we're going to be at this house. The
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: next Wednesday after that that will be at this house.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: And it was almost never. I think only once or
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: twice I ever played the same house twice because people
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: didn't want to get busted for doing it. And why
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: it was illegal is because the house took a cut.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Just like Vegas, the house took a cut, and that's
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: what made it illegal. You can play poker with your
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: buddies and gamble if the house isn't taken a cut.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: So we'd play, and I played a bunch and I
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: probably broke even maybe we came ahead a little bit.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't keep a spreadsheet really, but I remember there
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: was a game I was going to one night. I
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: ended up not going and that game got robbed and
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: they made everybody take up all their clothes, so I
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: think everybody's butt naked and they robbed the place. Nobody
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: got shot. But that's when I was like, I'm not
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: doing house games anymore. So I started flying to Las Vegas,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: and that was Lunchbox and I on a Southwest flight
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: about two times a month, and we'd finished the show
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: on a Friday morning and we'd fly to Vegas and
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: since we got that time back flying over for the
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: most part, we'd get there around two PM. I'd play
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: poker until Sunday mid afternoon, sleep on the plane, fly
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: back home, go back to work on Monday. And I
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: did Okay, I don't think I lost a whole bunch tour.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I was like, ah, I also don't think I won
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch. I did win an entire tournament one
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: time for tens of thousands of dollars, like won the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: whole freaking thing, which, by the way, if you're a
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: poker player, you know the goal is always to win
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: the tournament, but it's really just to get in the
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: money and go as far as you can, because you
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: do need some very fortunate things to happen, even if
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: you're playing awesome. But that's what happened. I played a
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: whole tournament Treasure Island, which they may have torn that
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: because you know down now it's one of the big
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: boat in front of it. Yeah, I'm not sure, but
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I remember Lunchblocks coming over and it was like noon
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: when I started, and him being there at like ten
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: thirty pm because he was going into the club, and
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: then him at the end of the night at like
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: four am coming out and I'm still playing. I was
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: down to like three people. I won the whole freaking thing.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: It was awesome, but I got a little too obsessed
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: with poker. It wasn't so much the gambling part of it.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: It was the competition part of it. And I will
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: bet on college football. Feel like I'm much better college football,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: but I never bet so much that it will absolutely
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: ruin my day. Now sports will run my day. If
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Arkansas loses a game they're supposed to win, it will
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: for sure ruin my day. That sucks. But yeah, gambling
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: is way down. But I'm gonna say for the same
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: reason that poorn is way down. I would imagine that
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: most dudes that are gambling aren't telling their ladies how
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: much they're actually gambling, or not even their ladies, but
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: the lady they may be dating a little bit, they're
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: not they're not actually sharing how much they're dating, or
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I think women would be a lot more disgusted with them.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: But also women can gamble to it. I'm just going
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: from this and the last one is Manosphere. I don't
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: know what that is, so I'm gonna have to google that.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: What is manosphere? As far as a hobby is concerned?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: All right? Google says the Manisphere isn't a hobby in
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the traditional sense, like woodworking or magic the gathering. It's
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: more of a loose network of online communities focused on
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: men's issues, masculinity, and gender dynamics. That said, some people
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: treat it like a hobby and how deeply they engage. Oh,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: it just like Andrew Tate, like I'll teach you how
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: to be a real man. I'll teach you how to
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: be an alpha. Those dudes are so lame. People treat
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: this and by this videos, reading forums, joining podcasts, debating
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: topics regularly like a religion. That's funny. I would have
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: never known that's what the manisphere is. People spend hours
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: consuming and discussing Manisphere content. They follow thought leaders Andrew Tate,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Jordan Peterson, et cetera. Some see it as part of
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: a self improvement lifestyle. Others engage in it for entertainment, debate,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: or community subgenres. Red Pill focuses on power dynamics and
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: dating mgtow men going their own way, rejecting romantic relationships entirely,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: PUA or PUA pickup artist dating strategies, and then men's
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: self help, confidence, money lifting, life skills. See, I have
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: no problem if it's about health and wellness. It's just
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: this is me speaking here, not me reading from Google.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: It's just some of these are so toxic and a
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: lot of these guys that try to prove how masculine
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: they are, and they want to prove to you how
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: they can get any woman. They're actually gay, and this
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: is how they're making up for it or trying to
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: prove they're not. And there's so much misogyny in this.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: It's like the And I'm not somebody who's gonna scream
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: toxic masculinity all the time, but there is a such thing,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: and a lot of that happens here. A lot of
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theories too. So I didn't know what this was,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: but I think I'm kind of passionate about it now.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: It is important to separate the constructive parts like self
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: improvement from the darker corners. So as a hobby, I
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: guess it's just dudes trying to be more dude. Like dude.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: That's wild. That's called manisphear. That's a pretty lame name
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: for something. But the whole point is not to be lame, right,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: manis fhear? That's funny. I'm gonna answer this poll here.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I had this sent to me in basketball. Who is
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the greatest NBA player of all time? My answer is
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Lebron James. Even though I saw Michael Jordan. Why Lebron
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: and I had no time to go through and put
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: answers on this. I'm going to answer them off just
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: whatever comes to mind. I think people don't credit longevity,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: and I don't think it should only be credited by itself,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: But people don't credit longevity. Lebron's like eighty three. Now
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I was forty. But he has played for so long
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: at such a high level. I think he was second
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: team All NBA this last season, second team or third
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: team at forty years old. Also, he can play point,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: he can also play the five. Also, his competition's better. Now,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not somebody who's gonna say You're so wrong if
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: you pick Michael Jordan. Because I understand most people feel
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: that way. I do think if I were getting to
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: draft one player of all time, I would go Lebron first,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: because again, he can play all positions, he plays point go,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: he is so large, he's Magic size, but more versatile
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: than Magic was. So I'm gonna go Lebron first. Michael
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Jordan's second. I know Kobe is the answer for three,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: but I may go Steph at three, Kobe at four,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Kareem at five. A lot of freaking Lakers there. Number two. Oh,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: that's interesting. Steph Curry or Magic Johnson, who's the better
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: point guard? I'm gonna go Steph because I think Magic
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: wasn't really a traditional point guard. He did a lot
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: of great, awesome point guard things, and he was so
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: large as a point guard, which made it really hard
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: to put another point guard on him guarding him because
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: he can then just post him up. But I'm gonna
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: go Steph. I've watched more Steph. I think that's probably
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the real reason I think recency biased because Steph is
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: still playing right now. Magic changed the game, for sure,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: but Steph. Steph completely changed the NBA everybody's upset at
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the NBA because everybody shoots threes all the time. That's
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: that's that's Steph. If you could build a team around
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: one NBA player today, who are you picking? Great question?
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Probably Yannis, mmmm, Jokic, one of those two, one of
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: those non Americans. They're young enough, you're gonna get another
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: decade out of them, probably, and they're so dominant. I'm
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: probably gonna go Yokicic, No, I don't know, Okay, I'll
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: go Yokich then Yannis in that order. Best dunker in
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: NBA history. This is my last basketball one. A friend
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: sent me these and there's four in four different categories,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: so I'm gonna read these here. I'm on vacation. There's
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: no content coming out right now. I'm gonna be honest
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: with you. I sat down to do this podcast because
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: as I was looking through the podcast that I was
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: listening to that I always listen to, because I definitely
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: have a series in a formula of what I listened
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: to on what days, if it's Bill Simmons or Rosillo
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: or mostly sports or pardon my take, like I know
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: what days they come out, or macro dosing like I
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: love those podcasts. I know what days they come out,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: and now that it's the fourth July week and everybody's
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: like often to the best of it's really thrown me
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: for a So I came down here to the microphone
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: and I was just gonna do that one segment and
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: maybe attach it to something in a show next week.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: But as I was doing it, I started to realize,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: maybe people are listening to this who are also upset
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: they're not getting new content. So I'll just go ahead
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: and do an episode here. I don't know if it's
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: gonna be an hour. I think we're thirty minutes in now,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: but I'll answer these questions foreign football. Who is the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: greatest NFL quarterback of all time? The answer has to
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: be Tom Brady, I feel because of the rings, so
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I think that's the answer. And I think that's a
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: bit unfair to say, because I didn't do that with
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan Lebron, so it's a bit hypocritical. But I'm
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: still gonna say Tom Brady. If you were to say,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: in a vacuum, you pick a single quarterback and they're
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: your quarterback, I'm picking Peyton Manny. But Tom Brady is
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback of all time. Tom Brady won with
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: a different set of characters, like he made people great
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: and I think it was nineteen ninety one Michael Jordan
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: won his first title and it wasn't no Scottie Pippen
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: got there, Like I don't think he ever won a
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: title without Pippin where Brady did win a championship without
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: insert whomever. But again, it's hypocritical me to say that.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm gonna go. I'll go Brady the best
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: college football program of all time. Alabama sucks. It sucks
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: being an Arkansas fan right now. Not that it's been
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the greatest Easter basket ever because we don't win. I've
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: never seen a football national championship. I've seen us get
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: close ninety nine. Had do we not fumbled, we would
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: have beat Tennessee, been undefeated going into the last game
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: of the year, won that we'd have been playing for
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: national championship. Yeah, but I've not seen a whole lot
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: of awesome Arkansas seasons. When Bobby Petrino was our head coach,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: we had a few really really great seasons in a row,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: and that was the greatest time to be an Arkansas fan.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: And it was amazing and then the whole motorcycle wreck.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: So it's tough for me to pick a different program,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: especially one that's close in proximity, especially one that has
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the same letter A, especially one that is close to
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: being the same color. But Alabama's Bear Bryant is an
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Arkansas native born and raised in Arkansas. Gotta love that.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go Alabama because being from the South,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: they are the greatest traditional southern college wall powerhouse. And
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I think probably you have to look like Michigan these
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: other schools, But I'm going to go with Alabama as
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: the greatest college football program of all time. And I
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: think a lot of that is geography bias, or at
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: least some of it. Who's the greatest running back ever? Man?
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: The Barry Sanders stuff is so legit, but he never
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: played on a winning team and he was having to survive.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: It was like he was swimming to save his life
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: every time he got the ball. I wonder how good
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: he would have been because I didn't watch him play
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: at Oklahoma State. Think about that, him and Thurman Thomas
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: on the same team. I didn't get to watch him
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: play with like a functioning offensive line. Also, I was young.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Even when he was awesome, all I got to watch
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: him do was scatter and try to get yards. I
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: wonder how good he would have been if he could
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: just run pretty much downhill, or at least kind of downhill,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: and not left right, left, right, left, right, left right,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: now go forward. So I'll probably go Barry Sanders, but
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I think Ladanian Tomlinson's in the mix. I'm not gonna
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: put Emmett Smith in, although statistically he does have a
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: lot of the records. But man, I think that was
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: just a great team with a rate offensive line. But
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: it's hard you're comparing decades. But I'll go Barry Sanders
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: and LT. By the way, I have the right to
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: change my mind in any of this because I don't
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: even read these questions until I pulled this up. Finally,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: in football, if you had to pick one NFL quarterback
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: to win a game today, who is it? It's Patrick Mahomes,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: no doubt about it. It's possibly the easiest question. It's
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Although I did just watch sped up the
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: AFC Championship game between Mahomes and Brady when Brady ends
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: up beating Mahomes and Mahomes scores a touchdown with like
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know a minute left, and Brady ends up
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: driving down and it's pretty awesome to watch those two
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: guys go out it. But yeah, so it's easily mahomes
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: now all right for baseball? And then four pop culture.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Best hitter in Major League Baseball history. I'm going to
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: go with Tony Gwinn only because the hitters that I
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: like the most like Tony Gwinn the most. He's my
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: favorite hitter's favorite hitter. And I think he was the
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: last guy to really give four hundred a look. He
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: didn't hit it, but was really the last guy to
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: give four hundred the foreigner batting it, which, by the way,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: hadn't been done and still hasn't been done since Ted
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Williams did it way back in the day. And I
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: think Ted Williams, And again I'm going for memory, no
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: research here. I'm pretty certain Ted Williams could have set
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: out the last game and had four hundred, but he
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: decided to go it bad anyway. So I'm gonna go
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Tony Gwinn as the greatest hitter of all time. Should
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: steroid era players be allowed in the Hall of Fame? Yes,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: because you've allowed some, but you're going to not allow others.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: For me, I think that's probably the most problematic thing
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: about not allowing something. There are some Hall of Famers
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: from that Maguire, Sosa, Barry Bonds era, Clemens. Like you're
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: talking about pitchers, we're using them as well. And when
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I say steroids, I'm talking about performance enhancing drugs, not
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: just drugs that make you look jacked, but drugs that
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: allow you to heal faster from an injury. Right, any
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: of that's performing or a performance enhancing So I think
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: players should be compared against other players. Also, you've let
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: players in that were on steroids, probably without even knowing
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: they were on steroids. So unless you did a steroid
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: check on every player, I think players should be compared
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: to the other players they played against. And does that
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: suck for the players that didn't do steroids, Yeah for sure.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: But do I think they should be allowed in the
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame? Yeah? I do. If you had to
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: pick one DH for a game, Ortiz, Bonds, a Rod
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: or somewhere else or someone else, I think Barry Bonds
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: is the most dominant player I've ever seen in a sport. Now,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I think Otani's probably creeping up now. Otani threw one
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: hundred and two. The other day he pitched two innings.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I think he do three pitches over one hundred miles
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: an hour. So Otani is doing what we've never seen before.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think Otani is quite the hitter of Barry
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Bonds is because Barry Barry Bonds, to me, he is
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: the greatest hitter of all time. As far as hitting
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: home runs with average, I think Tony wins the greatest
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: hitter of all time because you just didn't strike him
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: out and his average was way up there. But if
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: we're also saying power slugging bass hits, walks, they walked
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Bonds as much as they threw to him. But I
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: think Otani could end up taking over Bonds. I do
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: think Bonds is the most dominant player I've ever seen
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: in his sports. I think Bonds, and I've said it before,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: it was controversial, nobody agreed with me, but I think
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Bonds was a better baseball player than Michael Jordan was
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: a basketball player. Boom Final Baseball one. What's the most
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: exciting World series you remember watching? That's easy is twenty
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: sixteen Chicago Cubs. Cubs fan my whole life, Arkansas, Keith
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: dihired Cubs fan. I was a Cubs fan from eight
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: years old, and I used to watch every game. I
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: think one year I watched like one hundred and fifty
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: three of one hundred and sixty two games. I never
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: won all one sixty two. I don't think they ever
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: showed all one sixty two, even though WGN did show most,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: if not all, and they had a bunch of games
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: in the day. They used to not have night games
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: at Wrigley Field, which was crazy. They didn't have lights
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: there like in my lifetime. They didn't have lights at
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Wrigley And I remember the game that the first ever
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: night game. I remember watching it. I remember Steve Young singing,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Steve Young the announcer, singing like yeah, like a tuxedo on.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: He was singing on WGN because it was a night game.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: It was like this, like the freaking Grammys. But I'm
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: a Cubs fan my whole life, right from the days
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: of Damon Barry Hill, Joe g' already catching Mark Grace
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: at first, Ryan Sandberg is second, John Dunstan a short stop,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, third baseman. Go all the way back to
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Vance Law in the outfield Dawson and right. I mean,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: you could do pal Merrow and left if you want,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: or you could do even like the center fielder. When
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: they had the Rookie of the Year and the second
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: place to Rookie of the Year, which was Jome Walton,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Dwight Smith, all the guys from ZBRONO. My favorite player
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: of was Mark Grace. So all that said, I was
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: very invested in the Cubs. And twenty sixteen went to
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: the World Series and I went to Game two and
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: watched the Cubs loose to Cleveland, and when it was
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Game seven, and again you don't know a Game seven
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: is going to happen. But the CMAS had invited me
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: to present for the first time, and I believe that
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: was on CBS. I maybe get him my networks wrong,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: but I don't think I am no, maybe it was ABC.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know, changed so that doesn't matter the network.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: But the CMAS had finally asked me to be a
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: part of their they're broadcast, to become present an award.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: And for me, you know, I'd been in town four
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: years and my television curb really hadn't started to the
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: point where it got and so I was super honored,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and I was like, for sure, it was a big
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: deal for me to get on the CMAS and to
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: go up on national television and present an award. And
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: they asked me like weeks and weeks out and I
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: had to a few days before the show say I'm
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: really sorry, I am not going to be able to
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: be there, and they were like why. I was like,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: because the Cubs are in the World Series Game seven,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: and my whole life I've been Chicago Cubs fan. I'm
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: not going to miss it. And people looked at me
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: like I had two heads, but I was not going
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: to miss it. Like there were people just take a
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: half step back. The Cubs hadn't won a World Series
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: since nineteen oh eight. Before that that, I've been to
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: a World Series since nineteen forty five, Right, So you're
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: talking about history history that there were people who lived
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: an entire life and live to be old and died
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: and never saw the Cubs win a World Series or
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: heck even go if you were born in forty six
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: but you had died before sixteen, you never even got
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: to see him being a World Series. So I felt
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: like as a real fan, for me, that was the
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: most important thing to do was to watch that game
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: and then the rain delay hit and then the Cubs won.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: It was awesome. It was awesome. So for me, that's
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: the greatest World Series ever because that one was so
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: personal to me. But what I really hope too, is
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: that I don't end up being that Cubs fan that
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: never got to see a championship with Arkansas football because
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like now we have the ability to
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: win a national championship. I don't feel like from athletic
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: director down, I don't feel like we're there because we
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: don't have money pouring in. That sucks. All right, Four
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: final questions here. These are pop culture debate style questions.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Here we go, what's the best sports video game athlete ever? Oh, okay,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: this video game ever? But athlete man Bo Jackson and
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Christian Okoye were pretty tough and techmobile back in the day,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: and now I never actually had tech Mobile. Scotty, my
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: neighbor had a Nintendo. We couldn't afford a Nintendo, but
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: he had a Nintendo, and so I'll try to go
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: to over to his house and play Techmobile, or I
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: would get on his Commodore sixty four and play Yahoo Chess.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: But if you could get the Raiders with Bo Jackson
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: or the Chiefs with Christian Okoye, pretty tough to stop.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Mike Tyson was pretty strong and punch out as well.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Shaq An NBA Jam pretty tough, but Shaq was on
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Orlando if I'm correct again, I just opened these questions,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: so I could be wrong. I think it was maybe
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Shack and Penny. I don't know. Next up, most likable
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: athlete of all time three questions left. Probably Steph, especially
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: in the era of when we know about people because
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: of their social media and because there are phones everywhere.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: I think there were very likable athletes back in the
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: day because we didn't know enough about them except for
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: what the magazines of the newspapers or the television shows like.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I think the Bash Brothers were super cool. As a kid,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Jose can say, call mart maguire. I didn't like the A's,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: but I thought they were cool because I could hit
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: home runs, they had gigantic arms. They're very likable because
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: you only saw what they wanted you to see. But
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: in the age of knowing about an athlete, I think
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be Steph. If you don't like Steph,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: you just don't like yourself as a person. Now you
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: cannot like what he's done to the NBA because it's
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: all threes all the time. But that's not like a
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Steph problem. Like Steph seems like the nice I never
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: met Steph, but step seems like the nicest guy. So
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go Steph Curry most annoying fan base
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: in sports. I actually just did this on the episode
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: last week where I have at number one Kentucky basketball. Yeah,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: so I'll do that. And then finally, if you could
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: bring one athlete back in their prime to play today,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: who is it. I think it's probably And again this
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: could be a super recency bias because I just talked
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: about him. I remember Bo Jackson playing as a kid.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I remember the whole Bow Knows and Bo Didley the
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: guitar player, and Bo knows this, Bo knows that. And
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: there's the card where in the poster where Bo has
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: on shoulder pads and he has the bat over his
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: shoulders at the same time, and Bo Jackson was in
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: the home run derby Major League Baseball, which is super cool,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: like he was that dude, and he was dominant at
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: two sports baseball, And there's a really cool video of him.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: I think bo Jackson's like coaching with the White Sox
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: and there's another player and his son, and bo Jackson
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, it was pretty good back in the day,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: and the kid has no idea because the kid's like
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: ten years old. It's a cool video on TikTok. But
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: bo Jackson was so dominant, and I believe they were
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: playing the Bengals when he blew his hip out and
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: then he was never the same after that. I would
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: love to see Bo Jackson back in his prime uninjured,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: because I think he's probably one of the greatest athletes ever.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: But again that's a lot of me talking from what
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I've been able to see in my life. I think
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: if you were to asked somebody who was like sixty,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: they might say Mickey Mantle because he was so freaking
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: dominant at playing baseball. Now he didn't play both sports,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: and I think Deon Sanders is another example of somebody.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: But I think Dion was way ahead of his time.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: I think there are other guys like Dion now they're
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: extremely athletic that could probably it's tough to say play
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: two sports, but if they would have focused on that,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: probably I mean not that Dion wasn't like the one
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: percent of professional athletes, but like Bo Jackson was different
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: because he was that fast, but he was so much
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: bigger and thicker and stronger, yet he was still running
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: four to two. There are reports of a four to
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: bo Jackson, and again that's all handheld timer, no laser timers,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: So I'm probably gonna go bo Jackson on that, and
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: that's it. I was watching this video, though, I'll end
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: on this of all of these either police officers or
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: people in the military who were getting tased, because you
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: can't officially have a taser if you don't know what
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: one feels like. And so it's just one person after another,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: and a lot of them they're in there fatigue, They're
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: in there a ppleaching a form and two people are
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: holding them, one on each side, and it's like fifteen
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: to these in a row, and it's them just getting
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: taste because they have to feel it before they can
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: use it. That's always what I was told. That's always
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: why people had to do the pepper spray for my
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: friends that were in law enforcement, was that if they're
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: going to hold and spray some pepper spray, they have
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: to know what it feels like before they can actually
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: put it on other people. So I'm gonna play you
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: on this video of people just getting tased. That's military.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Is there's a bad word there, Sorry about that. That's police.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Here's military. Take the taser. That's a big there too.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: That dude's like six foot five military military. She is
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: taking it like a no sound, no sound, she's looking
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: at it. She took that taser and she just looked
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: and she just stared and she's like, is that all
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: you got? Is that all you got? Now? When it
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: was over, she was like, whoa man, she crushed it.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a few more. Here's police, please please,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: I'd be peeing all over myself. Please. Oh he looks
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: like eat a sour lemon, please. Military dude. I watched it.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: It's like a two minute video. I watched that thing
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: and they just got popped. All right, that's it. Thank
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: you guys. If you made it this far, you're a
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: fifty minute club. All right, we're gonna put this up
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: on whistles. I know that a lot of the by
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Bone Show and the Bobbycast audience doesn't come over to
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Whistles because it's mostly just sports. But if you made
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: it here, maybe some me a message over on Instagram,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: say fifty minute club whistles during the break. Because I'm
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you why I did this. There's nobody here
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: with me. Had to push all the buttons myself, had
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: to record it, had send it off, had to do
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: all the stuff. But I did it because I know
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: what it's like to be looking for my podcast and
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: they're not there because of a holiday schedule. And I
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: hate that, and I hate it so much that I
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: wanted to for you guys that listen to us. Wanted
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: you to have something to listen to. All Right. You
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: guys may pop back, may not. If I do, it,
