1:01
We'll be using it all year All right. Well, we're
1:05
back and it's There's football is out of sight
1:10
out of sight. I've completely moved on It was
1:13
ready. I was ready for it to end truthfully This
1:18
year it's like this past football season I think
1:22
I did it really really bad Like I don't think
1:26
I did well at all. I don't know I don't really
1:30
want to do the math on that either. Let's see
1:32
if I actually did do bad because I feel like
1:35
I'm gonna look Look at it and be like, oh well
1:39
did a lot worse than I thought I did But but
1:43
anyway, that doesn't matter. That's the past
1:46
we're moving forward Before we get into some
1:51
topics, let's say hi to the gents Chris, how
1:56
are you today since the last time we spoke? Doing
2:00
good. Sunday was a little weird with no football.
2:04
I just kind of laid around, watched the mid -major
2:07
college basketball and I think it's parks and
2:10
recs, something like that. I mean, I don't want
2:14
to say I was ready for it to end because it's
2:17
football. Yeah, definitely was not my best year
2:21
gambling wise. I think there was a stretch early,
2:24
like weeks, like six through like eight or nine
2:27
where I was doing very poorly. Kind of turned
2:29
around a little bit, but I don't know. But, um,
2:33
yeah, just watching college basketball all the
2:35
time. Now I've got Michigan, Purdue going right
2:37
now. Honestly, one of like ramping up to my favorite
2:40
time of year. So I'm, I'm doing pretty well.
2:43
How about you Sean? Doing well. Since we're on
2:48
the topic of how we did, I don't know either,
2:53
but I know I had a really good October. I went
3:00
up like 64 units in October, I think. I'd sent
3:06
it to the group chat way back in the day, but
3:12
I think that's the last I remember. I'm trying
3:15
to pull up my picket. To see if I can Search
3:21
through my history through sport Yeah, I haven't
3:29
looked at pick it in quite a bit so it's gonna
3:31
take some time for it to Go back through all
3:34
my accounts and figure that shit out for me.
3:38
So But but yeah, I don't need I don't need pick
3:43
it to know that I did poorly most of the time.
3:49
I had a couple of good weeks just to break up
3:53
the the awful weeks but that was that was it
3:59
really. Oh so pick it I went to year and pick
4:05
it only shows like January 1st through today.
4:12
Yeah, pickets gotten kind of stingy with how
4:15
far back you can go without like upgrading to
4:18
picket plus or picket pro, whatever the hell
4:20
they call it. And I'm not paying for that. I'm
4:26
paying to see how terrible I did. Well, I went
4:30
five and three in college football this year.
4:35
Eight and a half units. So that's pretty good.
4:39
Most of those were boost. I was going to say
4:42
you had five and three went up eight units. Yeah.
4:45
I think cause they were all the playoff games.
4:49
So they were all, they all had some kind of boost
4:53
on them or something. And NBA is oh and three.
5:00
Yeah. We don't bet on the NBA. Fuck the NBA.
5:04
I had a really good stretch January, 2019 in
5:08
the NBA. I'll never forget. It was really good.
5:16
That's why I remember. Real quick. Do the all
5:23
stars care again in the NBA? I mean, it kind
5:29
of looks like I didn't look. Yeah, I did. I just
5:32
saw clips. I didn't watch it because I didn't
5:34
know it was on at like four o 'clock in the afternoon.
5:38
But Yeah. From everything I saw, it looked like
5:42
it was probably one of the better All -Star games
5:43
in the last like five years or so, maybe longer.
5:47
I don't know, but it was like what Dane put up,
5:51
like 31 points in a quarter. I think it was Kawhi.
5:54
What? Oh, Kawhi. Dane won the three point contest
5:57
despite not playing all season, which whatever.
6:01
Dane's cool. He's probably his last go around.
6:03
Um, but yeah, Kawhi who's like. You could tell
6:08
me he hasn't cared about basketball since he
6:10
won the title with the Raptors and I believe
6:12
you and he's out here dropping 30 in 10 minutes
6:16
What the fuck And like the way that Kwai was
6:25
moving like I saw highlights of that I was like
6:28
Dude, if the NBA was like this I'd watch more
6:31
often Yeah, I mean this was every game I know
6:34
he puts up good numbers. Like when he's healthy,
6:37
that's just kind of few and far between. I don't
6:39
think I've watched a Clippers game in years,
6:41
so I can tell you what he's like on a night to
6:45
night basis, but I know he puts up decent stats
6:47
whenever he plays. So good for it. I'm glad.
6:52
I'm glad people are caring again. Wimby was,
6:54
I just saw the clip. I don't know if there's
6:56
context. Wimby was crying during the all -star
6:59
game. Oh, that's pretty cool. If there, if there
7:02
were tears of joy, I just saw people clowning
7:05
on Twitter for it. But it's like, you can't bitch
7:08
about people not caring. And then when a guy
7:11
just cares so much, you bitch about that too.
7:14
But that's NBA Twitter. NBA Twitter is as toxic
7:18
as WWE Twitter. They despise the product that
7:22
they watch on a daily basis. Could never make
7:26
them happy. Never. Um, I haven't seen jack shit
7:31
about the NBA truthfully. Maybe that's just,
7:35
you know, my algorithms, but, cause I, I mean,
7:39
I really don't care, but, uh, but yeah, brother,
7:44
I've really just been, uh, go ahead before he
7:47
got off the NBA. Um, I can't remember if this
7:48
happened in the last week. I think it did the
7:51
Pacers and jazz got fined for tanking. Oh yeah.
7:57
They, um, I remember they, they were playing
7:59
each other. I think this game happened like a
8:01
few weeks ago for the NBA just to shut the fines.
8:04
They're playing each other and they essentially
8:07
just all rested anybody that was worth a ship.
8:12
It was hilarious. The jazz tank job. I don't
8:16
know if this is a common thing. Lead or not fourth
8:20
quarter rolls around. There are four best players
8:22
just don't play. They just traded for Jaren Jackson,
8:27
Jr. Yeah. And he's out for the season with some
8:29
sort of knee injury that I have never heard of
8:32
before. Right. But like they, they gave up their
8:37
first round pick. Yeah. I don't think he's actually
8:40
hurt because if so, their team doctor did a piss
8:43
poor job and it's physical. Yeah. I just, it's
8:49
the jazz tank job going on and I was truly wrong.
8:53
It just doesn't make sense. Like why would you,
8:57
you, you don't have a first, first round pick.
8:59
Like I don't, unless they do, unless they do.
9:02
I know they traded multiple to get them. Maybe
9:04
they didn't set, maybe they might be protected.
9:07
I know the Pacers gave up a first rounder for
9:09
zoo botch, but theirs is protected, but it's
9:12
only protected if they get one through four.
9:16
And I don't know if that's commonplace in NBA.
9:18
I really have no idea, but there's a lot of teams
9:21
tanking right now. And you're not guaranteed.
9:25
Like if you get the short end of the stick, you
9:28
get pick five. All this was for nothing. Having
9:32
the worst season they've had in quite a while
9:35
with like, and your star players coming back
9:39
to this. I mean, that's next year. That's going
9:42
to be rough. So God willing, they get a top four
9:45
pick. I did watch, uh, some, some tech talk about
9:50
how. the NBA can prevent tanking. Um, now that
9:54
you, you bring that up, I didn't know that fines
9:57
were in the realm of possibilities. Um, I've
10:02
never seen this. I mean, again, I don't follow
10:05
the NBA super closely. I've never seen that before.
10:08
Like the wizards have been taking for like a
10:10
decade and I don't think they've ever, yeah,
10:14
they've never been good. I've never seen them
10:18
get fined. So I don't think that Thunder got
10:20
fined when they were tanking for all of their
10:23
like just incredible draft picks. So I don't,
10:27
I don't know. I think it's just the way the Pacers
10:30
and Jazz went about it where they were just blatantly
10:32
like, Hey, we both suck. Let's not do anything
10:37
stupid here. Like let's just roll out like our
10:41
water boy and our, I don't know, a couple of
10:43
assistant coaches. But the video I saw it was
10:49
like this is what the NBA needs to do to prevent
10:51
tanking We're gonna look at the PWHL which is
10:56
the professional women's hockey league because
10:59
they have they have one of those now It's actually
11:03
like fairly new. I think it's like things. Yeah,
11:05
five years old maybe At the mother. I remember
11:09
seeing something about that when it got created
11:11
or something. Yeah, and like the way that they
11:14
do it is You get more points like once like the
11:21
playoff teams are are kind of set You It kind
11:29
of puts it in a way to promote winning and When
11:34
you win you get the first overall pick but The
11:42
second overall pick goes to goes to the worst
11:45
team Like so they're still getting a fantastic
11:48
player But like I don't know if I don't know
11:52
if the pwhl is a lottery or not And I'm not sure
11:56
how much that would really work with With like
12:00
the lottery rules because you know you have a
12:03
certain percentage But it's kind of like as soon
12:06
as the playoff teams are like set in stone Like
12:09
all the teams that aren't going to make the playoffs
12:11
like they reward you more For winning because
12:17
at the end of the day like if you're not gonna
12:18
make the playoffs like especially in the NBA
12:21
like You're you're not gonna play your your players
12:26
and it's not gonna be it's not gonna be a good
12:27
product But if they are healthy and you do play
12:33
them and you do win then you are rewarded for
12:37
that that that first pick so it's it's kind of
12:40
like wow, this is This is pretty wild. I don't
12:42
know if, I don't know if, like I said, I don't
12:43
know if the PWHL has a lottery system or not.
12:46
I don't know how they, how they do that whole
12:48
thing. But, um, but yeah. How many teams are
12:51
in the PWHL? You know what? I, because on top
12:56
of my head, I want to say six. I was going to
12:58
say I know shade or anything. I doubt it's very
13:01
many. So that can probably work on that scale.
13:06
That might be kind of hard to do with. 30 teams
13:08
granted, I guess half the teams now make the
13:11
playoffs. So maybe you could do it. I don't know.
13:14
As of the 2025 26 season, there are eight teams
13:18
in the professional women's hockey league. Okay.
13:21
So I guess four make the playoffs and probably.
13:25
Yeah. Yeah. I saw something that Adam Silver
13:30
and the NBA are considering just getting rid
13:33
of. I mean, I don't know how heavily considered
13:35
I just saw a headline said they're thing about
13:37
getting rid of the draft and just having free
13:40
agency for rookies. I was like, that's the, the
13:45
small market teams will never win another basketball
13:47
because you're going to get all these high powered,
13:50
like high powered agents being like, Hey, like,
13:53
I'm going to negotiate some deal with either
13:56
likes the team or maybe like a sponsor to give
14:00
you more money to go to the Lakers or the Celtics
14:02
or the team. That's actually worth it. So, I
14:05
mean, you want to fucking murder your league?
14:07
Go ahead. But that's one of the stupidest things
14:10
ever. I mean, they're taking advantage of it
14:18
anyways. It sounds like if they're finding teams
14:22
for banking, they're taking advantage of the
14:24
draft as it is. But that's not to say what you
14:30
said is not correct. smart, small market teams
14:35
will die if that becomes true. Like, I mean,
14:38
they pretty much, I don't want to say pretty
14:40
much because a few will pop off every now and
14:41
then, but like the Hornets, the wizards, the
14:46
Hawks were decent for a little bit in the early
14:49
two thousands. Like these kinds of teams are
14:52
not doing anything. Like the jazz, like they
14:57
were pretty good in the bubble for a, in like
14:59
a couple of years around there, but like, Like
15:03
these teams don't really do anything anyway.
15:05
So like if you just Essentially cut them off
15:09
at the knees in hopes of ever getting a good
15:11
young player or at least being able to build
15:13
a good young core These teams are gonna are going
15:17
to fold yeah, that's Like that that'd have to
15:24
be they'd have to have some sort of regulation
15:27
on how many players you can get and Oh, I'm sure
15:34
they would, but they probably would, but like
15:38
how many rookie there's probably like only a
15:43
handful of rookies that come out that you're
15:45
like, okay, these, this guy could legitimately
15:47
be like an NBA star because I mean, there's only
15:50
two, there's really only one round. Cause the
15:52
second round doesn't really matter. So it's like,
15:55
you don't really have that many. It'd be one
15:58
thing if you had 30 guys coming out every year,
16:00
that's like, Hey, this guy could be something,
16:02
but If you only have five coming out, that's
16:04
one for each. Like for the Lakers, the Knicks,
16:07
the Celtics is like, okay, the rest of y 'all
16:09
fuck off. Right. It'd have to be like, they'd
16:16
have to, I guess, focus a little bit more on
16:17
the developmental side, which, well, realistically,
16:22
they should already be doing that. But at the
16:24
same time, like development can only get you
16:28
so far. Like A good coach can only get you so
16:31
far like a good coach can take a good player
16:33
make him great, but he can't make a bad player
16:36
and make him great like You got to have the work
16:40
ethic in the in the drive and the But also you
16:44
have to have talent like it's you have to have
16:46
the tools if you don't have the tools then Sorry
16:51
about it, why is the NBA the only league that
16:56
really has this issue? Cause I get baseball kinda
17:00
does, but like the NFL, not really. Like you'll
17:05
get like a couple teams every year that you could
17:09
say are tanking, but then it's like, don't win
17:12
a game where that they absolutely shouldn't late
17:14
in the season. So it's like, okay, well they
17:15
weren't really tanking. It feels like the NBA
17:18
is the only, cause the NHL to my knowledge, nobody
17:21
is really like going out there, like actively
17:24
sabotaging their chances to win. So it seems
17:27
like the NBA is the only one where the problem
17:29
is this noticeable. So I've just, I don't really
17:34
get it. Yeah. It's, it's like, um, I mean, in
17:38
the NHL it's, it's like, if the players can play,
17:41
then they're playing, you know, nobody's getting
17:44
health bombed for nothing. You know, uh, and
17:50
like, Like in the NHL, it's it's weird to say
17:54
that you can sabotage your team and tank but
17:57
At the end of the day, it is still a lottery,
18:00
you know, like the fucking Islanders Were the
18:03
9th worth team and they got the first overall
18:05
pick this past draft. So it's like It's still
18:09
a lottery. But you know Obviously it increases
18:12
your chances heavily when you're bad. Yeah, that's
18:15
kind of what I was thinking is like why doesn't
18:17
the NHL like NBA and NHL, at least to the two
18:20
of the big four that have a lottery. I don't
18:23
think the MLB does. Why doesn't this happen to
18:27
NHL? Is it just a culture thing where hockey
18:30
players like, no, fuck you, I'm going to win?
18:33
I think so. And there's just like, I think it
18:40
kind of opens up a bigger conversation about
18:42
like the barrier to entry for the NBA, you know,
18:46
it is hard. to make the NBA. I mean, there's,
18:49
you know, five starting spots on an NBA team,
18:53
which is not a lot. But like, I've, I've listened
18:58
to a couple podcasts interviewing NBA players,
19:01
and it's like, dude, like, if you're tall, like,
19:07
a lot of the times, you'll just see this as an
19:09
avenue, as a career, and like, you won't love
19:12
the game of basketball, but you'll play. And
19:15
so like, Ben Simmons I Mean he was good towards
19:22
the beginning of his career, but yeah, yeah and
19:27
so like Obviously you have to be tall but it's
19:30
like past that it's kind of like if you're tall
19:33
and you have coordination and you can just practice
19:36
and work on that like it's You you can make it
19:40
you can like get your first NBA contract and
19:43
get generational wealth like that's That's kind
19:47
of it like the NBA does have a problem with just
19:49
people People players not caring because like
19:53
the barrier to entry is like if you're tall and
19:56
you can do this then That's it. Like you don't
20:00
have to love the game like hockey. It's such
20:03
a physical sport that it's like You're not going
20:06
to make it if you don't love the game mm -hmm,
20:09
so it's It kind of a I guess a broader Sort of
20:16
issue, but But yeah, that's With tanking like
20:23
I mean, it's not easy to tank in the NHL, but
20:28
at the same time It's like if you just get rid
20:30
of all your good players, they won't play yeah,
20:34
which I guess yeah the NHL like how many like
20:37
Like your I guess like benched players quote
20:40
unquote are your like healthy scratches and you
20:42
have what like three of those Yeah. So it's like,
20:46
unless you trade everyone for draft picks and
20:50
then just call up a bunch of AHLers, like you
20:52
can't really do it the same way the NBA does
20:54
where it's like, Oh, our four best players aren't
20:57
going to play tonight because we can afford to
20:58
do that. I think, yeah, I think the NHL kind
21:03
of quote unquote prevents tanking just because
21:08
it's almost impossible to, because I think these
21:12
players do care more. Um, also with like the
21:16
NHL draft, like you have prospects that are still
21:20
in college, you know, like you, like NBA is like,
21:26
you could be drafted right out of high school
21:27
and you go to the NBA. You got to do one year
21:30
of, yeah, or yeah, it's true now, but you can
21:34
play college or you could go overseas or G league
21:37
honestly, but yeah, but you got to do one year,
21:41
but like some kids do. the full four years of
21:44
college before they even get to the AHL. Yeah.
21:48
And that's, you won't see that in basketball.
21:52
Like you do full, like in today's day and age,
21:56
especially you do four years in college. You're
21:59
going to like Turkey to play. You ain't going
22:01
to the NPA, man. You're going to be, you're going
22:03
to be an accountant after those four years. Yeah.
22:07
Because nobody sniffed you out yet. Yeah. And
22:11
like that was a big thing with like Dalton connect
22:13
why he fell so far in the draft because he played,
22:19
he either played three or four years. I can't
22:20
remember. I know he only played one Tennessee,
22:22
but then he was 24, I think when he came out.
22:27
So it was like, that's old for the NBA draft.
22:30
When you guys like legitimate, like 19 year olds.
22:33
Yeah. So yeah, that's, yeah, I think that also
22:38
has something to do with it. Just with the draft.
22:42
because these two teams, these two leagues draft
22:46
differently. And I think one league might care
22:51
more than the other. Hot take. And they get paid
22:59
way less money to do so. Yeah, it's weird to
23:08
make the comparison because they are two different
23:11
games, two different systems, but it's really
23:14
the only thing you can compare it to. Yeah, exactly.
23:17
That's the only other league that has a lottery.
23:20
So that's why I was, but yeah, no, it does make
23:21
sense. I mean, honestly, you could just say,
23:24
yeah, initial players just care more. And I'm
23:27
like, yeah, case closed. All right. But everything
23:29
else, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. And you
23:31
can say that they care more because some of them
23:34
are fighting for our country right now. Damn
23:37
straight. That's if that's not like the most
23:40
like I give a shit mentality. I Don't know what
23:44
is like I feel like with basketball. Well, I
23:48
don't know if you could say this about Olympic
23:51
basketball now because the Olympic basketball
23:54
team two years ago got their shit ran in by like
23:58
Who's that country that the u .s. Say lost to
24:03
in like the Qualifying round or something. Oh
24:05
that was it was like South Sudan or something
24:08
like that. Yeah, like yeah I think that was a
24:11
very much. I mean, yeah, it shouldn't have lost
24:13
them, but I think that was a very much like we're
24:16
rolling out like prospects Like yeah, you should
24:22
still be able to beat them, but I don't like
24:24
I don't think it was Steph and Katie out there
24:27
playing South Sudan No, but like I mean The basketball
24:34
is such a it's it's grown so much globally Especially
24:41
in these last like 20 years like I saw something
24:44
that there hasn't been an American -born MVP
24:48
in the 2020s Well, yeah, cuz yokich won it like
24:55
three or three years in bead Yonis Yonis Yeah,
25:01
I don't, there's not been an American born MVP
25:04
in the 20s. Yeah. Did he win last? Yeah, I know.
25:09
But like, did he win last year? Yeah. Cause I
25:12
was going to Canadian because I was about to
25:14
pull up the, like, who's the favorite this year
25:15
to win it. I was like, obviously it's SGA. And
25:17
I was like, Oh, well he's Canadian. Wow. I thought
25:21
it was Canadian. So I wonder who would be, cause
25:29
like all. Like the good young, at least like
25:33
elite young talent, I should say is foreign.
25:37
Yeah. Not American. So it's like Anthony Edwards.
25:42
I mean, he's phenomenal. So I could definitely
25:44
see him winning an MVP one year, but like, other
25:46
than him. Cooper flag one year. No, he's not
25:53
the best player on his team. Um, I was trying
26:01
to think of good American like younger American
26:05
who's gonna be like the next like quote -unquote
26:07
face of the league which I mean it should be
26:10
yoke pitch because he's fucking awesome yeah
26:16
that is hard yeah it'd probably be easier if
26:20
I just followed the NBA but but but yeah Bunch
26:28
of dullards here that don't really know all that
26:30
much about the NBA but Pretty crazy because if
26:36
you look back like It's like all us flags like
26:41
all the way down until you get to the 2020s and
26:45
it's just like nothing which I'm not saying it's
26:48
it's that's wrong or anything is great that that
26:51
game is expanding but I think it does add to
26:58
Why this game is changing also Because like some
27:05
of these players They might want to get out of
27:08
their country They might want to be the best
27:10
and get out of their country. So They put in
27:13
the hard work And they're not just tall, you
27:18
know of the top six Like highest our best odds
27:24
when the MVP on fan duel Would you care to guess
27:27
how many are American? One. Close. Two. Two.
27:36
Cade Cunningham and Jalen Brown. Jalen Brown
27:37
is a distant sixth. It's SGA, Jokic, Cunningham,
27:43
Doncha, Luka, and Wimby and Jalen Brown. There's
27:48
a steep drop, like Wimby is 3 ,300 and Jalen
27:52
Brown is 10 ,000. Yeah. So it's really top five.
27:58
There's one in the top five. If anybody gives
28:01
you the odds on 10 ,000 to one on anything, you
28:05
take it. I feel like I got to take Jalen Brown
28:08
MVP, right? Hey, after the all star break, he's
28:13
going to come out hot. SGA is currently minus
28:16
odds. It could happen. If the other, if the other
28:25
five get tragically injured, yeah. Maybe Jalen
28:28
Brown can win MVP. The number of ACL tears has
28:33
drastically increased over the years. That is
28:38
true. Yeah. I mean, think about it. Jokic was
28:40
hurt earlier. Lucas always hurt Wimby. I mean,
28:44
shit, he's nine feet tall. Those knees can't
28:48
hold up that much longer. Also French. Not American.
28:58
Yeah, we went on the MEA for a while. I didn't
29:03
realize it. That's wild. Whoops. Oh well. But
29:09
I mean, mainly I've been just honed in on the
29:14
Olympics. And before we get to the men, I mean,
29:19
shout out the women. Like they're in the gold
29:21
medal game tomorrow. Uh, I think it gets Canada,
29:26
um, which makes sense, but like the U S women
29:30
have just been on a, on a absolute tear, just
29:34
taken care of business. It's pretty crazy. It's
29:38
pretty crazy how dominant they are. You know,
29:43
I think they had, they hold the record for the
29:46
longest shutout in Olympic history. Nuts. Still
29:51
haven't scored a goal on, except for like game
29:54
one, I think. Jeez. Yeah. Yeah. The goal is just
29:59
down there for, you know, cause, cause they got
30:01
to have someone. Yeah. Got to have a net. They
30:07
are currently minus four 50 to be Canada. Good.
30:11
That's fucking crazy. Mean that's I love it,
30:19
but that's just in a gold medal game against
30:23
Canada minus 450 It'd be great to bring home
30:29
to damn straight two goals two goals. That'd
30:33
be fucking sick be wild dude But I love the US
30:40
men. We were we watched the game on Saturday.
30:44
I Love watching them I love them. I love watching
30:47
them. Watching American men. Yes. Hard at work.
30:52
Beaten Denmark, beaten the Danes, the Denmarkians,
30:57
as Sean would say. Chris and I both agreed. Yeah,
31:04
that was not one of our brighter conversations,
31:06
but yeah. Destroying the Germans. Murdering the
31:12
Latvians. In our cake walk of a of a group, but,
31:17
uh, but yeah, now I'm very, I'm very nervous
31:22
about, hopefully we get there. I'm very nervous
31:26
about if we have to play, most likely having
31:29
to play Canada. Oh, I mean, we'll have to play
31:32
Canada. Well, you never know. But I mean, is
31:37
this the greatest hockey team ever assembled?
31:42
It could be. Macklin Shalabrini three games,
31:47
four goals. Like I know we, uh, other than Denmark,
31:52
we kind of just Molly walk, like just, I almost
31:56
had my walk. We just kind of suffocated the other,
31:58
like every game we played, but it's like Canada
32:00
just kind of like, let's just have some fun boys.
32:03
Let's just put the puck in the net. Fuck you
32:06
can't stop us. It's scary. Yes, it is scary.
32:12
I believe the scariest line they gave a nickname.
32:15
It is the Mick Mac Macklin line, which is Connor
32:20
McDavid, Nathan McKinnon, and Macklin Celebrini.
32:24
And, uh, dude, it's crazy. Um, did you guys watch
32:29
the, uh, the candidate of France game at all?
32:33
I saw the best highlight from that game when
32:36
Tom Wilson got rag dolled by a Frenchman. Yeah,
32:41
he did. And now he's suspended for getting his
32:46
shit ran by a Frenchman. Well, he fought back
32:51
through punches. I know he started it. Yeah.
32:54
He dropped the gloves first and then got Molly
32:56
walked to the French guy got banned. I don't
32:59
think Tom Wilson got banned. Um, Tom Wilson got
33:02
suspended. Yeah. I thought it was like, if you
33:04
engage in a fight at all, you get tossed for
33:06
the game and a one game suspension. I didn't
33:09
see anything about Tom Wilson. I just thought
33:11
that was like the Like if you drop the gloves
33:15
whatsoever, that's happening. I didn't see anything.
33:20
I didn't see anything about either, like anything
33:22
like directly about either of them, but I saw
33:24
like the rule coming in. So I just assumed that
33:26
was the. Oh, I misread this. Uh, Tomlinson has
33:32
been ejected for sticking up for Nathan McKinnon.
33:35
Um, according to Elliot Friedman, the fighting
33:38
major assesses Tom Wilson is not an automatic.
33:41
One game suspension, uh, it's rigged. Yeah. Well,
33:46
I guess I don't need to rig it for them to be
33:48
like, what Chetia or whoever they're probably
33:50
going to play. I don't know, but France was,
33:53
I mean, they, they got knocked out today, so
33:56
they're, they're done regardless. So I wanted
33:59
to talk about this. I don't remember like past
34:02
Olympics, how it's gone, but I thought like the
34:05
qualifying round was to qualify for the knockout
34:09
stage. Everyone just makes it. Has it always
34:13
been like that? And I just am now noticing it
34:15
or I have no clue. Okay. It just more or less
34:20
determined seating at this point, but I just
34:22
thought, I mean, again, I don't remember because
34:24
it's been four years and, but I thought it was
34:27
like, at least a few teams got like eliminated.
34:32
Yeah. If like the bottom and like three, no,
34:36
like, I mean, like in the group play. Yeah. Okay.
34:39
But Latvia was in the bottom three of group play.
34:43
And if they had lost or if they had won today
34:47
versus Sweden, they would be playing the U S
34:50
tomorrow. But yeah, I was just, I was surprised
34:56
when like, uh, oh yeah, but I was just surprised
34:58
when like the, they put up the bracket and it
35:01
was like, Oh, everyone's just in it. I thought,
35:04
I thought like a couple would get bounced, but
35:07
okay. I think two should have been bounced at
35:10
least. Yeah. I think like, I mean, yeah, France
35:12
and Italy probably should have, but whatever
35:16
Italy fighting that first game. I don't really,
35:22
I know they got their shit pushed in by for Finland,
35:25
but I don't really know what else happened to
35:29
them. They played the Swiss today lost. had 59
35:39
shots on goal. Good God. Yeah, it's poor Coley.
35:47
130 or they lost 30. So he saved. Yeah, that
35:55
goalie. He's like the ducks. One of the ducks.
35:59
Oh yeah. So he's like the first Italian born
36:01
draft pick or something like that. Yeah. Yeah.
36:04
He got, he got hurt. like the first or second
36:07
game. So like the third in the game that I just
36:09
played, there was, I guess they're back up. But
36:13
having to face like 60 shots a game. Hey, you
36:17
know what? Good practice. Good practice for the
36:23
Italian League. Yeah, that definitely exists.
36:28
But these guys gotta be playing somewhere. I'm
36:33
very glad we're not playing in the 1924 Olympics
36:38
because I saw a thing today. Me too. Did you
36:42
see that? No, that was kind of a joke, but I
36:47
don't know. I have no idea what you're referring
36:50
to. Alright, this is the all time points leader
36:53
for Canada Player Olympics. Harry Watson, who
36:59
played in the 1924 Winter Olympics. had 37 points
37:04
in five games. Jesus. This was before they counted
37:10
assists as points. These are all the goals. 37
37:15
goals in five games. Wow. Damn. Bro was putting
37:21
up nearly seven and a half goals a game. Damn.
37:29
God rest his soul. Yeah, I'm sure he's fine Harry
37:32
Watson Harry Watson legend Harry Harry Watson
37:36
Watson But but yeah Last show was before the
37:47
US played and I didn't know this but we talked
37:50
about this a little bit on Saturday when we were
37:53
watching the US but like Brock Nelson who we've
37:58
previously made fun of on this podcast, mainly
38:00
me. I don't know about y 'all. But I didn't know
38:04
that he was a third generation Olympian, that
38:07
his uncle was on the 80 team and his grandpa
38:10
was on the on the 60 team. And both of them won
38:14
the gold. And I think it's pretty funny, because
38:19
like, there's like, like, like, all the the US
38:24
players from the 80 team, like, who are still
38:26
left, like they keep interviewing them. And like
38:30
Michael Ruzioni, like a couple of days ago was
38:32
like, yeah, I think this team can do it. Um,
38:36
excuse me. Oh, sorry. Um, was like, yeah, I think
38:41
this U S team can do it. I really do. Uh, partially
38:44
because I, uh, I really want you guys to stop
38:46
bothering me. And I'm like, that's really funny.
38:51
We really want to be like left alone. Like everyone
38:56
talk, talk about this. We're done. That's a really
38:59
fair point. Like I don't believe that he's made
39:05
a, I mean, it was one of the most important goals
39:08
in us. Probably the most important goal in us
39:11
is he's made a life off of that one goal. Yes.
39:16
So I think, I mean, I know he's old now, so I
39:19
guess maybe 46 years of talking about one goal.
39:25
You just got to get old one team. I mean, if
39:28
you're keeping it, if you're getting paid to
39:29
talk about it, I don't think paid every time
39:33
you get, I mean, yeah, I guess you're, you're
39:35
just doing like a, like TV spot for like two
39:38
minutes. Maybe not, but yeah, I was talking about
39:41
like all these documentaries and stuff. TV specials.
39:46
We, uh, Did y 'all watch the Netflix the new
39:49
Netflix mirror, it's really good. Yeah, I watched
39:51
Yeah, the movie the other day before the game
39:54
started and then I forgot to watch the doc. I
39:57
might have that on DVD actually I'm gonna have
39:59
to look into that Because I can't find it on
40:03
any streaming service. It's on Disney Plus. I
40:06
don't have Disney Plus anymore. I don't really
40:10
Really use it a lot Oh, we never use this. Some
40:14
one of Kelsey's relatives pays for it. I don't
40:17
know. Makes sense. It's nice to have a Disney
40:22
movie. Yeah, I think Disney just has every movie
40:26
they've ever made. That's like made money on
40:28
that on Disney Plus. It also has Hulu, so. Oh
40:34
yeah, that's true too. But yeah, bro. Dude, I
40:40
love, I love Rootin. being able to root for the
40:44
Kachuk brothers and the Hughes brothers, then
40:48
the memes of the Hughes brothers are incredibly
40:53
hilarious. Yeah. I've seen we talked about on
40:56
Saturday when we're watching the game and I was
40:58
like, I've never really seen any memes about
40:59
that or anything. I've seen no less than 20 since
41:03
then of him just staring into the void. I was
41:07
like, God, this guy fucking rules. Whatever works,
41:10
man. I mean, he's like that. He's like that on
41:12
his own team. Like he's like that on the wire.
41:16
Yeah, one of one of the ones I saw, it wasn't
41:18
really even me. It was just a video of it. It
41:19
was him just staying there like during like a
41:22
TV timeout when like the crew was like cleaning
41:24
the ice, like going around him and he's just
41:27
standing there staring. This guy's a psycho.
41:31
He's in his flow state. He's locked in. If he
41:35
only thinks about hockey, then he just turns
41:39
his brain off. And the only time he thinks is
41:42
when he's on the ice. That's good enough for
41:44
me. Love that guy. Yeah. Never said anything
41:48
bad about that guy. Love that guy. Yeah. But
41:52
like, it's, it's, it's really, uh, during these,
42:00
uh, this is like the group play. It's like been
42:02
kind of relaxed for me, like, I love this team,
42:05
you know, I just love watching them. And then,
42:07
and then now it's kind of like, if we lose, we're
42:10
out. And now I'm like, kind of stressed about
42:13
it. But we play Sweden, you said? Okay, that's
42:18
not great. Tomorrow. Tomorrow being Wednesday.
42:22
Yeah, we should should beat them. Has Forsberg
42:27
been playing anymore? He scored a goal today.
42:30
He did? Okay. I'm not calling him that. Nah,
42:37
I'm not calling him. We play tomorrow? No. Yeah,
42:40
Wednesday. Yeah, we play tomorrow. Two o 'clock
42:42
Central. Okay. I'll be there. I'll be watching
42:47
it on my phone. I will also be watching it on
42:50
my phone. I drive home from work. I'll be at
42:55
work. Making deals. But yeah, it's this is incredible.
43:04
I'm having such a great time with with this.
43:08
It's really it kind of really breaks up the the
43:12
regular mundane sports schedule, if I do say
43:16
so. And then like, I thought it was next year
43:19
that we have the World Cup of hockey, but I think
43:21
it's the year after that. And I don't know if
43:24
they're going to bring four nation back next
43:27
year. I hope they do, because that would be awesome.
43:31
Just have a regular kind of best on best tournament
43:34
man. I love that shit But but yeah, I It's it's
43:41
pretty crazy that we get to root for good players
43:44
We have some good players, but like, you know
43:49
More it's nice to root for more You know, are
43:54
you you mean we as in the Predators have some
43:57
good players, but yes the US has better players
44:01
It's good to root for some good old American
44:03
boys. Yes. Instead of Philip Forsbury, who's
44:11
the best American on the press? Yeah. Christ.
44:21
How many do we have just in general? Like four?
44:24
No shade to Michael Karen. Love that guy, but
44:27
he's big, sexy, isn't he? Christ. Yes. Uh, yeah,
44:31
I think that might be it. Um, I can't name any
44:37
others. It's been so long since I've watched
44:40
a predator scape. I've got the American suck
44:43
at hockey. Haven't won a golden 40 years until
44:50
this week. I hope till this Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.
44:56
Yeah. Sunday at seven a .m. I think that's the
45:03
bronze medal game at seven. No, it's the gold.
45:07
I looked this up last week. When's the bronze
45:11
game then like for probably some guy work told
45:15
me that it was like two on Sunday. I don't think
45:21
it's true. I do remember being early, but yeah,
45:23
I didn't really think about, yeah, bronze has
45:25
to be like, maybe it's the night or I don't know.
45:27
There's no bronze medal game is the date is Saturday
45:31
the gold medal that makes more sense Sunday 7
45:34
a .m. Yay Tuesday They play it 2 o 'clock in
45:45
the afternoon in Italy which makes it 7 in Tennessee
45:52
Yeah, I looked this up last week. They couldn't
45:54
give us David. I gave I gave the idea last week.
45:58
You know, I was thinking about the time They
46:01
couldn't give us 10 a .m. Well, it's trusting
46:04
this guy at work over like our podcast that we
46:10
have No, I was I was thinking of the time zones
46:12
Sorry But like I heard them talk about the time
46:19
zones on one of the games and they were like
46:23
like the like the 2 p .m games it's like 10 p
46:26
.m over there and i'm like that's yes that's
46:29
a way shaun said that on saturday i was like
46:32

46:47
in the in the evening That is crazy. Yeah. I
46:51
remember that. Yeah. Cause they talked about
46:52
that. I think it was in the first intermission
46:54
of that game because we were losing and Oh, she
46:57
was like, he's like, I'm not making excuses,
46:59
but here's like two excuses why we're losing
47:02
the game. And one of them was his 10 a or 10
47:05
PM. And it was like, well, it was hard to do.
47:07
It's like, you've been over there for like five
47:09
days. You should be good. Like, I don't, uh,
47:17
I don't know when like events start. their time
47:20
over there, probably pretty early. And like,
47:23
I know the U .S. is in the Olympic Village and
47:25
Canada is in the Four Seasons. So like, yeah,
47:29
they're not in the village. Fuck. Whoa, whoa,
47:32
whoa. You can just do that. Apparently. And apparently,
47:39
the U .S. women are also not in the village.
47:45
Where are they? The women's hockey team or just
47:47
like across the board? Like the hockey team.
47:51
Okay. Uh, I think everyone else is in the, in
47:54
the village. So it's like, I mean, they're winning.
47:58
So whatever, but I don't know. I heard, uh, I
48:03
was just in a checklist today and I heard Whit
48:04
talk about it. And he was like, the beds at the
48:07
Olympic village are not that great. Like the
48:09
living conditions, like they're, they're pretty
48:11
bare bones. Yeah. Cause they're made in like
48:13
a month and a half. They never are. They have
48:16
four years to do this shit and they, they just,
48:19
it's like fire fest over there every single time.
48:22
It's crazy. Yeah. And they always run out of
48:25
condoms. Uh, like, yeah, I was gonna say, I don't
48:29
know why you would not want to like, yo, oh,
48:32
my bed's uncomfortable. Cool. You're probably
48:34
going to have a lot of sex suck it up for a few
48:38
weeks. Do you see that they ran out of condoms?
48:42
They always do. They ran out of 10 ,000 condoms.
48:46
Every two years, they run out. It's insane. You're
48:52
going to have to practice semen retention. Keep
48:57
all the testosterone in the body. I saw this
49:00
one tweet that was like, yeah, my girl's an Olympic
49:03
athlete. And it was just like, bro. I don't know
49:08
how to tell you this, but did you see that one
49:11
guy? I don't remember. I think it was like cross
49:13
country skiing or something like that. And he
49:15
was like Dutch or something like that. And this
49:19
was a few weeks ago or a week ago. I guess he
49:22
won bronze at whatever event and he was given
49:25
an interview and he was stuck. He eventually
49:29
left cheating on his girlfriend or something.
49:32
He was like, six months ago, I met the love of
49:35
my life, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then
49:37
three months after that, I cheated on her. And
49:41
I don't really remember exactly what he said,
49:43
but it sounded like he was trying to get her
49:45
back. I was like, dude, what the fuck are you
49:47
doing? Yeah, women love that. Women love being
49:51
put on a stage in front of the entire world about
49:54
their personal lives. They definitely love that.
49:56
Especially by a guy who came in third place win
49:59
gold. Maybe you can get away with that, but yeah,
50:06
that's a, that's a tough look actually. And then
50:09
I saw one interview a couple of days ago. I don't
50:13
remember. I think it was like speed skating or
50:15
something like that. And the hair interview was
50:17
like, was it like to win gold or whatever? He's
50:19
like, yeah, I've been working really hard these
50:21
last few weeks for this. I was like, weeks. Do
50:26
you not do this for the whole four years, man?
50:30
I was like, if you're this good, like a few weeks,
50:34
are you the best ever? You just don't know it.
50:39
Speaking of speed skating. Have you guys seen
50:45
the Dutch women's speed skating? No, I don't
50:49
know. I think it's the Dutch. I've been saying
50:51
I don't really know what country, but I've seen
50:52
a lot of fairly attractive speed skaters come
50:57
across my town line. It's real cool. What's cool
51:02
about it? They look great. They're hot. They're
51:07
hot. They're smoking hot. All right. I don't
51:12
know what's in the water over there or what they're
51:14
feeding them, but I think that's like, it's like
51:17
all of them. I feel like year in and year out,
51:21
like some sort of like Eastern European, like
51:25
speed skating team is always like, yo. So I think
51:30
speed skating might be the most attractive of
51:34
the Winter Olympics. Well, you got to have big
51:37
legs. You got to have a sturdy core. You know.
51:45
Well, as I read like. Good calf muscle. Gotta
51:51
have gotta have legs that are built. You know
51:55
what I'm saying. You know what I'm alluding to.
51:57
I know what you mean. Yes. To have a fat ass.
52:01
Sure. Say it with your chest. Sean's mom watches
52:06
the show, so. She hardly ever gets this far.
52:18
All right. Well say it with your chest next time.
52:21
All right, both Canadian curling teams got caught
52:24
cheating That was funny. That clip was super
52:27
funny Fuck off. Yes, just to be that Cold about
52:33
it. You were caught red -handed. He's like you
52:35
were cheating. We have it on video. What was
52:37
it? Fuck you well That was like the I was like
52:43
the meanest I've ever seen a Canadian Like that's
52:47
the most aggro I've seen a Canadian be that wasn't
52:52
Like a hockey player. Yeah. Yeah, that isn't
52:54
like an aggressive sport. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, just
52:57
like a regular Canadian Yeah most aggro Canadian
53:02
I've ever seen I I mean, I don't know how curly
53:07
works, but take the foul. I don't like, you know,
53:11
I I don't know if it's like this qualification
53:16
Curling is a gentleman sport. You call your own
53:18
fouls and you, uh, there's no refs in curling.
53:24
Oh, it's a very light call your own shit. Interesting.
53:30
So it's like, if you can cheat and you cheat,
53:36
I guess. Get a fucking ref. This is the Olympics.
53:42
What do it gentlemen sport? No, no. fuck that
53:47
i don't know what to tell you i mean that's insane
53:50
nobody's nobody's no sportsmanship is gone now
53:58
you have to cheat like that it doesn't exist
54:02
in sports anymore people are cheating all the
54:04
time in sports with referees so like just no
54:08
get up it also it's curling you need like a ref
54:12
maybe You could have like a Dean Blandino kind
54:16
of guy just sitting in a like a room with like
54:19
five different monitors. He could probably do
54:21
it. Just get like the tennis monitor or whatever
54:26
they're called. Yeah. What's the guy that sits
54:29
in the chair? I don't know what they're called,
54:31
but like get one of those. God, I love to have
54:34
that. They don't move. Yeah. They just sit in
54:37
a chair all day and you're like bow. On what?
54:43
You just got to see if a ball went out of bounds
54:44
or not. Like, yes, that's gotta be the easiest
54:47
job in the world. Ball hit the net. Bullshit
54:52
on my wife. Like, sir, or tennis can get pretty
55:00
aggressive, though. Like tennis players. Yeah,
55:05
yeah, they're fucking psychopaths. Well, to be
55:07
good, you have to be a psycho. And apparently,
55:10
Don't even want to call curling like I don't
55:13
even want to call these people athletes to be
55:15
honest, but they are in the Olympics There is
55:20
some sense of Ability there the soft touch Being
55:28
able to Call sweeps or I don't I don't know.
55:31
I'm talking about us here Have you have you guys
55:34
seen the way that they move on the ice because
55:37
they don't have skates. They have like regular
55:39
shooters Well, I'm sure they've got like some
55:42
kind of like shuffle their feet or something.
55:44
Yeah. But the way they do it is like it's like
55:49
they're just like floating almost. It's crazy.
55:56
Yeah. Interesting. Do either of you know anything
55:58
about like how the game works? A little bit.
56:02
Yeah. So like, I know that, but I was talking
56:04
about like the guy who like guides it. More girl,
56:08
the person who guides it. Are they full time?
56:12
No, it interchange. Okay. I didn't know if they
56:15
had like positions like designated positions.
56:19
Okay. That makes sense. Cause I mean, I don't
56:21
want to talk shit on it, but it doesn't seem
56:23
like it'd be something that'd be incredibly hard
56:26
to switch in and out of. What's a sport to like
56:31
relate it to where it's like you change positions.
56:35
It's like a turn based. sport, I guess. Cricket's
56:41
kind of like that. I don't know anything about
56:44
cricket. I know jack shit, but I think one of
56:48
the things in cricket is like every player has
56:51
to take a turn bowling their pitching. I think
57:00
I could be dead wrong. I think I heard that somewhere.
57:04
You ever bet on curling, Chris? Curling probably
57:07
at some point not that I can remember. I think
57:12
you would remember. I've never. Maybe. I don't
57:22
I don't remember. I remember I might have been
57:25
on cricket one time because there was they're
57:28
having that like World Cup or whatever in the
57:31
United States. And this was. four years ago and
57:38
the U S one in like some sort of monumental upset.
57:42
I forget. I think we thought like Australia or
57:44
something. And it was like one of the biggest
57:46
upsets in like history of the sport. Cause like
57:49
U S didn't really even have like a legitimate
57:50
cricket team until like a handful of years ago.
57:54
So I was like, fuck yeah, I'm going to bet on
57:55
the next game. I think that you got stopped,
57:58
but that was the only time and I Not even a hundred
58:02
percent sure. I actually did it. I just remember
58:04
wanting to But I don't I don't think I've ever
58:11
I'm again, I don't want to say I've never been
58:13
on curling because I remember Every Winter Olympics.
58:16
There's always some funny shit that comes out
58:18
of it. So I'm At some point I might have but
58:21
I don't remember it Do we want to pivot to the
58:27
Titans new logo? If we must rumored, I don't
58:33
think it's been officially confirmed. It's the,
58:36
it's the low view. I'm really just holding that
58:38
hope. It's not. When is it is supposed to be
58:44
probably before the draft. Okay. It's just, I
58:51
mean, I don't get Taking away like it's this
58:56
like obviously oilers colors are sick I'm like
58:58
none of us are just feeding that but the logo
59:00
itself like you took away the cool part Took
59:03
away the fire. Yeah, you did you did a Pistons
59:06
on us. You took away You you took away the the
59:10
fire from the Pistons and you just made it a
59:12
basketball again. Like yeah fuck. Yeah, I don't
59:16
I don't Get it like I it's just so bleh like
59:22
you went for being like One of like the cooler
59:25
logo, like more unique logos in the end, which
59:27
I guess it's still unique, but it's just like,
59:29
it's just so boring. It's like, cool. You could
59:32
have just made it like the Titan, the logo with
59:35
oilers colors and nobody would have said any.
59:38
Everyone been like, this is awesome. I wish they
59:42
had pivoted more because like the current Titans
59:46
logo is supposed to be like a shield. Right?
59:50
Yeah. I wish they. Pivoted more towards the sword
59:56
part of it. Yeah, like I wish like the The sword
1:00:00
was like a tee, you know, like the shoulder patch
1:00:04
is on the old jerseys. I Wish they just pivoted
1:00:09
to that that would have been awesome. Honestly,
1:00:12
like I said this on Saturday I can't I can't
1:00:15
remember if you were there well at the time But
1:00:16
I wish they were just made that alternate logo
1:00:17
that has the sword going through like I guess
1:00:20
the current logo Just do that and make it all
1:00:23
this color. That I think that's a like it would
1:00:27
have been sick and you'd have a fucking sword
1:00:29
in your lower. And that's awesome. Swords are
1:00:32
bad ass towards our bad ass, but I, it's just
1:00:35
so like, it's just so boring. It's like, yeah,
1:00:41
the colors are fucking sick, but like, yeah.
1:00:46
I mean, honestly though, like If you buy a jersey
1:00:51
or anything, that jersey is probably going to
1:00:54
rock. Because the jersey will probably have the
1:00:57
sword insignia still on it, hopefully. The helmets
1:01:04
are the only thing that have the logo on it.
1:01:08
And I did see a render of what the helmets could
1:01:12
look like with the new logo. And I was like,
1:01:16
if they do a white helmet, It looks like I have
1:01:19
to. Yeah. It looks pretty clean. I'm not going
1:01:21
to lie, but it's still boring. It's basic. It's
1:01:26
like something you could make in my Microsoft
1:01:29
paint and they probably paid millions of dollars
1:01:33
for somebody to do this. Yeah. It's a waste of
1:01:35
money. It's just too, I'm not saying every logo
1:01:38
has to be like some array of colors, but it's
1:01:40
just, it's literally just white and light blue.
1:01:43
Like it's nothing like, I don't know. It's just
1:01:46
boring. Nothing captures the eye. Yes. Nothing
1:01:52
strikes fear into the opponent, not like flames.
1:01:57
Flames are badass. Flames are badass. I was talking
1:02:02
with a guy at work today and he was like, I don't
1:02:04
know why they decided to roll this out now. And
1:02:08
I was like, what do you mean? He was like, why
1:02:11
did they, why didn't they wait until like the
1:02:13
new stadium was like open? And I was like, well,
1:02:16
They need all this to be done before the new
1:02:19
stadium is open so they can like start, you know,
1:02:23
decorating the stadium before. Yeah. They'd have
1:02:25
to like build it in like one of those like termite
1:02:27
tents where Noah can see logos or anything. Yeah.
1:02:35
I'm not trying to have downtown Asheville be
1:02:37
like area 51 where it's going to be all secretive.
1:02:44
secret tunnel. Um, okay. So I was thinking about
1:02:50
this and I know like the whole reason worn moon
1:02:54
let cam wear number one is cause like, Oh, well
1:02:57
it's the Titans. It's not the oilers. I mean,
1:03:01
these are going to look very similar to oilers
1:03:03
jerseys. Do you think part of them is like, Oh
1:03:05
man, probably a little bit, but also like, I
1:03:11
feel like he just gave him the number because
1:03:12
he believes in him. And it, I mean, at the end
1:03:15
of the day, doesn't matter that much. Like if
1:03:19
your ego is not that big, which it doesn't seem
1:03:22
like his is, then it's really not a big deal.
1:03:25
Yeah. Also Warren Moon was like kind of the first
1:03:28
guy to leak like that. We were getting like a
1:03:32
rebrand. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know
1:03:37
that. He said something that was like, it doesn't
1:03:42
really matter. Like they're going to. look different
1:03:45
in a couple years anyways, or like something.
1:03:47
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. I can't remember
1:03:50
exactly what he said, but he said something like
1:03:52
he like he did it like a rebrand. Yeah. Yeah.
1:03:56
That's where all these rumors have been coming
1:03:57
from. Yeah. And then now, like, things are like
1:04:00
finally coming to light. And it's like, OK, this
1:04:03
makes sense. Like, I don't know. But he was like
1:04:07
the first person to like say something. I just
1:04:12
wish they either would have Picked a different
1:04:14
logo or just gone full fuck you and just, Hey,
1:04:17
we're the Tennessee oilers now. Tennessee oilers
1:04:22
again. I think that's a stupid name, but because
1:04:27
oil intensity, but I think it would have been
1:04:29
hilarious. Like there's no jazz in Utah either.
1:04:33
That's a retarded name too. There's no Grizzlies
1:04:38
in Memphis. There's no, well, there might be
1:04:41
Pelican. There's probably a couple. Is there
1:04:46
magic in Orlando? Yes. Oh, you ever been to Disney
1:04:50
world? Yeah. I think that's the whole, the only
1:04:52
reason they're named that. So that makes sense.
1:04:54
Um, what else is there? I believe there are Pelicans
1:04:57
in new Orleans because it is a city by a body
1:05:00
of water. It's true. Also Pelicans and Biloxi.
1:05:05
There's no, there were no Bobcats in Charlotte,
1:05:09
but that team doesn't exist anymore. Uh, I mean,
1:05:14
there's no, a lot of the place we could do this
1:05:16
all day long. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's
1:05:18
like, I think the whole, like, there's no giants
1:05:21
in New York. Um, Oh yeah. Well, I think that
1:05:32
whole thing of it's like, there's no that like
1:05:36
having like a regional specific name. It's like,
1:05:38
yeah, it's ideal. But it's not that's not really
1:05:43
like I think like a seahawk isn't a thing It's
1:05:48
not required just sounds bad. Yeah, so it's like
1:05:52
The whole like you need to have I mean you don't
1:05:55
need but like wanting to have Regionality is
1:05:57
not a thing. Just be the Tennessee or say fuck
1:05:59
you and just be the Tennessee I love the Titans
1:06:02
name though added to alliteration alliteration
1:06:06
and the Titans It's like, it feels good. Everything
1:06:13
about like the logo was sick. Like, the name
1:06:16
is very unique. It's like, it's just the jerseys
1:06:20
were ass. It's like, yeah, I feel like you could
1:06:23
have just same everything. Oilers colors, print
1:06:28
money. Yeah. That's all you got to do. But, but
1:06:34
all right, I think I'm going to wrap it up. Thank
