• 0:03
  Speaker 1: This is a podcast called twenty five whist talking parts
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and they all wear a whistle yet too bad? But
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: what did you expect? It's a podcast called twenty five Whistles.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know that sports gets weird? Doesn't It like
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: scares me? It just felt like somebody's yelling R. But
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: it said sports. That's what's up, everybody. Twenty five Whistles
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: brought to you by a Draft King sports Book, an
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: official sports betting partner of the NBA. Download the Draft
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: King zapp used to code Bobby Sports to get in
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: on the action. And the question is did kept could
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: choke or did Rom just come to play? Wait? Think Kevin.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I think Rom is a savage man. I love watching
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: him play, especially that last day. Kevka is known for choking,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: but Rom just has that look in his eyes, like
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I know it's for the taken and it's gonna be mine.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I like the Rom one because I think he deserves
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the Masters, and sometimes some of the other major win.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: The Masters seems like the most elusive one, the hardest
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: one to get because the most biggest deal is made
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: about it. I mean, heck, they got their own app.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: There no phones. I liked I think he deserved to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: win it at some points. I'm glad to see it happen.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I think kept could choked too, mostly because what did
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: he play like, twenty over twenty holes and no birdies? Yeah,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I mean I think if you said, hey, Bob, you
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: get twenty holes, see if you get a birdie, I'm
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: probably still not gonna get one. But maybe, And he's
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a pro. He had no birdies. He went twenty three
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: straight holes. Now, you gotta be honest and fair that
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: it was pouring down rain for some of that as well,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and it was hard to do anything with the rain
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: just because it came hard, it came light, and then
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: it came hard, and then it stayed hard for a while.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: But man, once they got pretty, it was awesome again. Yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Sunday it was beautiful. I felt bad for those guys
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: that played later in the day on day two because
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: they got their rounds one that was really wet, and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: then two it was suspended. They had to get up
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: early in the morning and play even earlier again. So
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I think Justin Thomas was a victim of that at
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: getting stuck in the bad weather. Not that he played
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: great anyway, but you're just not going and then the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: greens are wet, and so you're having to play different
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: distances because your ball is not going to spend as much.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of different things that I would
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: like to have learned since I started playing golf. But
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I don't do that crap either, not good enough too.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: So I've heard about it and I was watching it too.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: They were all short. Everybody was short with the rain,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: with the greens no role. So but I'm gonna go
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: more of a Kepta choke. But Rom was there the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: first hole day one. I think he double bogie the sucker. Yeah,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and he four putted. Is that what happened? Yeah, four putted,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: double bogie. I mean I do it all the time.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: A little four putting four putt never hurts me. No,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: not what I'm trying to win anyway. But yeah, there
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you go. John Rom two time major champion, twenty twenty
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: one US Open being his other one. He is the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: fourth Spanish golfer to win the Masters, the first one
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: since Sergio in twenty seventeen. It was his fourth PGA
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: win of twenty twenty three. John Rom, killer, You're right,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: he's a killer like that. He's kind of got a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: fat belly like his tall skinny gal with fat belly,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and I like that. And he was eating like last
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: five holes. Yeah, like I like. I like tall skinny
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: gal with fat belly guy because he's putting in the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: work obviously to play golf. You know what, if he
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: wears a tight shirt, he doesn't care. He doesn't he
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't care other people think about him. That's what I
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: like about that dude. He can't have fat belly, You're
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: gonna be skinny everywhere else. He's gonna tuck a shirt
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in and if you don't like his belly, that's on you.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Skinny fat. I can admire somebody's skinny fat because I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: lived some of my life Skinny fat kept good six
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Bogeis in that twenty three holes and finished tied with Phil, which,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: by the way, Phil Mixing shot a sixty five. The
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: crowd just kind of didn't care. Some would be like,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: there you'll Phil. The Phil's an endomy because Phil was
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: like the spokesperson of Live maybe not spokesperson who we
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: feel was like the guy that represents them because he
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: went for a bunch of money. He wears all black now,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: which is weird, Like he totally took on the Hollywood
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Hogan roll. I wasn't rooting for film Mickelson and I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: always root for film Michelson absolutely, and he kind of
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: just shot up in that last day, ended up in second,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: slowly step step step. Speef also was playing some really
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: good golf yesterday. He hit that one to the left
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: in the woods. I don't think he was ever going
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to come back and compete to win it, but he
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: was a couple of strokes back from Whomember was in
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: second place, which probably kept at that point, and he
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I think on seventeen or eighteen maybe eighteen, he pulled
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: it into the woods and then he was kind of
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: done from there. But SpeI played really well. Was awesome. Yeah,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I like Jordan's gotta play golf him twice. Super nice guy. Wow,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: super fun guy. Really played with them at the Colonial
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and the proem there, And it's not like I just
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: gotta play with Jordan Speed. But the Colonial had a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: prom They invited me and they said, hey, come out
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and it's a celebrity proem. Is there anybody that you'd
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: like to play with. I didn't know any golfer. I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: don't know any pro golfers anyway, and so I called
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Jaco and and I said, hey, who should I play with?
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: And he staid of Jordan playing. I said, yeah, I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: go play with Jordan. I'll call him and says okay.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: And so he calls him and he's like, okay, cool
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you that was it. That's Jake and Jordan are buddies.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Like a full round with him. We played uh at
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: least nine maybe more than that. Wow. And then we
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: ended up playing at Pebble Beach. We played a part
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: three course together. We hit he just I mean, he
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: came sat with us when we ate, but M and
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Jaker buddy. So I've just through association, I've gotten to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: know him. I don't have his phone number. Okay, let's
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: get him on the pod. I know I don't have
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: his phone number, but I do have Jim Nances. That's true,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that's probably yeah, even better, Yeah, even better. I'm just
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: scared to call Jim Nance. Still haven't called. No. It
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: ended yesterday. It is last night. I assume we took
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: a private flight home, but maybe later on this week. Okay,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: read Would you be intimidated to text Jim Nance? Um?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I would say, go for it. Would you be intimidated
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to text Jim nance Okay, yeah, I would be, But
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: why are you saying, go I'm gonna have to but
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: why why would you tell me just go for it?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I mean I would if you wouldn't do it, I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: mean I don't know. I think I think if you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: got his number, just you know, just sending him a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: follow up like hey man, I hope you're doing good.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: What would you say to say hope you're doing good?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Be like, hey man, you sounded great on the Master.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I can't do that. I can't do that. I can't
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: go with a compliment, like a normal every day compliment.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: This is but like, hey were you busy last week? Okay? Sorry,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I mean go ahead. Oh no, that's all I would say.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: You would just say, hey, you sounded good on the Masters.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: On the Masters, yeah you sounded incredible in the Masters. Okay,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: but what's my action point? Because I need to you
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: get to ask like a question or have a direction,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: because if I just go, hey, man's bobones here he
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: sounded great as the Masters, all he's gonna reply back
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: with it all thanks man in yeah that's true. I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: treated like your's a it's a girl you're wanting to
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: date and you text her and you got to chum
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: something back. You can't just be like, hey, you looked
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: great yesterday. You gotta play a little hard to get
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I can play hard with Jim.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Nance's true. That's true, Mike. What do you think I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: think you go for ask for the dinner, ask him
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: on a date at dinner. I'm not trying to get
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: him on the podcast here. Now, you gotta go for it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Tiger Woods with Drew on Sunday due to foot injury.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: It did look sad and he was kind of hobbling
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: around the green. He aggravated a previous injury. He finished
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: forty seventh overall. He made the cut because Jessein Thomas didn't.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I was watching, and if Jessein Thomas would have even
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: fallen to plus two, no plus three, they'd have all
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: made it. But I think he even fell out and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Jesse Thomas did not make the cut. And I think
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Eddie picked Jesse Thomas. Yes in our parley and we
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: did not hit that. I do want to check out
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: on the others in a second. But the play was
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to spend it on a Friday at a time due
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to those three pine trees falling over on the seventeenth toll.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Massive trees, tim Burr type trees, not just limbs coming
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: off a tree, full timber. The fact that nobody was
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: hit by anything wild wild because everybody was standing in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the area anyway because it's behind a hole. Yeah, it
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: was crazy. So there you go your master's recap. Congratulations
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to John Rom your payouts for this. John Rom won
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: three point two million for finishing first. Phil Mickelson and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Kepka each one one point six million. They tied for second,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: tied for fourth. Since there were three Russell Henley, Patrick
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Rad and Jordan Speed, they won seven hundred and forty
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: four thousand dollars. Cam Young and Hoblin six hundred thousand.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Hoblins want to jumped out Day one for a while
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it was like five hunder six hunder quickly, you know what.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And he played pretty well to stay there. He wasn't
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: expected to be up there. But you know they were
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: talking to Kepka. Was it Russell Henley who was playing
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: so slow? The group ahead of him because he said
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Ram used the bathroom seven times. The pace was so slow.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: That's like going to a muni and there's a sixum
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: ahead of you. He apposed to play with six ms,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: but they set it off where two of them went
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and there was four and they all just combined like
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: whole three to try to get one over on the system. Yeah,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: whoever was ahead of them was extremely slow. And then
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the um I'm gonna say his name wrong, but I
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: watched him on full Swing Sahath the Gala. Yeah, I
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: loved him on the show. That was like a dude,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: You're like, that's the dude you want to hang out with.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: He seems so nice, hard working. First time I moved
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: out of his parents house. He has an apartment. He's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: doing laundry, but yeah, and he's like, I gotta make
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: And he finished his top ten, made half a million
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: dollars stoked. Scheffler did finish tenth, so we would have
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: hit the Scheffler top ten in the parley. Scheffler, Fitzpatrick, Morikawa,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: they all finished tied for tenth four hundred and thirty
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: two thousand. Now, if you just made the cut, if
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you so a fifty third. Keith Mitchell made forty five
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars, so they probably paid for his room and
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: board down in the Gusteteah making the cut what'd you
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: find for me? Over there? I see it just diligently
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: diving into I am and I'm trying to look for
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Jason Day. I'm pretty sure he finished like thirty seventh.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: He was doing great all weekend and then he kind
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: of he fell off, so like thirty seventh, and then,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: like you said, the top ten we did get from
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Scheffler there here. Keep looking it up. I'll do a
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: little commercial here. We got a lot to talk about.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: But as you look that up, especially the Rudy Gobert

  Speaker 1: notes for full details. You know talking about golf, and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I'll mention this before I get over to Houston Barber,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: who's one of my favorite TikTok people to follow when
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: it comes to sports news, is that Eddie and I
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and a couple of other friends went to play a
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: little golf on maybe Saturday. But it was cold and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: it was raining. The last few times I've tried to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: play golf, it's been raining, it's been terrible, and I've
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: played so bad. I don't even understand how I played
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: so bad. I don't understand how some days I can
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: go out and it's not just pull on it a
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: little or slicing in a little. Some days I can
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: go out and I get the ball pretty good. There
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: other days where I can't hit the ball and I
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: can't get it up in the air. And then like,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: how's my body that different from one day to the next.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: How's my body so different that I can't remember how
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to swing. I'm not saying it wasn't a like I
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: wasn't just a little off, Like, oh, I had really
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: had a bad day. You know. I was hooking them
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: all a little, a little to the right because I'm
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: left handed. No, it's terrible. There were times where I
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: was just nozzling it, hozzling it, cozzling it, whatever you
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: call a little stick on the back side of it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: It was so stupid. Eddie and I both played so terrible.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: We walked the course because we started playing at three
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and it was car path only. And if you drive
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a car and you do car path only, you get
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: up the ball and you got to walk out to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the ball, then you gotta go walk out the wrong clubs.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: You gotta walk back anyway, and you got mud. So
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: we're like, let's just walk it about the same distance anyway. Wrong,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: it was muddy and we were exhausted. We drug a
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: cart behind us the whole time. I don't mind walking
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: it as long as it eddie my caddy. I've only
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: ever walked with somebody caddy a fart. But we drugged
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: this old cart and the car was broken on the bottom.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Was the back kept falling off my cart. It felt
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: all the way in the mud. Once my white and
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: red backs covered in mud. The disaster overall, horrible day,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: horrible day. So I went to the range yesterday evening
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: for a little bit and hit balls. And I was like, okay,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I'm good, But how come this good doesn't go out
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: there on the course. Yes, she was beautiful. Yeah, how's
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: it hitting a beautiful? Yeah? I guarantee the next time
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I got the course it will not beautiful. Probably. It's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: so annoying. All right, you got him? You want more time?
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I need more time? You got it. If time is
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: what you want, time is what you get. Let's go
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: talk to Houston Barber. This dude, so knowledgeable, corner Blitz,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: such a good account to follow, and here he is.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: We talk about it all here football, basketball, well mostly
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: just that, but here he is. Houston, Barber Houston, what's up, dude.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I'm doing good, Bobby. How are you doing good? To
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: see you again? You know, everybody listening. Their corner Blitz
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: is one of my favorite TikTok accounts to follow. I
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: think Houston lays it out in a way that's not
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: only not insulting to hardcore sports fans, but also if
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: you don't know much about sports at all, it's so
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: entertaining that, you know, you kind of start waiting into it.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: So I think that's a good compliment. You know, you
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: can you talk up and down to folks. That's awesome.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I'll take it. Think. So, you know, one of the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: videos I haven't been waiting to talk to you about
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: was this FBI college basketball video that you'd put up.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: It may put up a month or so ago, and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: so it's kind of how the whole scandal fell apart
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and how it fell apart. But I'm gonna let you
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: tell the story. So what was the what was the
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: FBI doing to begin with? So about five years ago
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: or so, the FBI kind of announced out of nowhere
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: that there was a big investigation in progress into college basketball,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and when they originally announced it, it seemed like it
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: was going to be an investigation that was going to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: break college basketball wide open, and a lot of the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: biggest names in the sport were reported to be implicated
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: in the investigation, and you know, media was running wild
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: with it talking about all that could come out of
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: this investigation. We saw kind of drops of news come
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: out of it, and then out of nowhere, the investigation
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: kind of stopped and no one really suffered any consequences
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: from it except for a few low level assistant coaches,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and a couple months ago we found out what really
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: happened with the investigation, which is that the FBI did
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: have some big names involved and they set up a
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: sting operation in Las Vegas. They got a hotel and
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: they had an FBI agent go undercover and bring basketball
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: coaches into Las Vegas, give them money under wire tap,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: and all you know, reports are that fa sting operation
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: was a success and they got coaches, handed them money,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: got them on tape. But what happened was with the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: leftover money, the FBI agents kind of had a little
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: bit of a spending spree in Las Vegas, spent a
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: lot of the money on casinos and drinks, and by
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: doing that kind of ruined all of the evidence and investigation,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and it led to the FBI kind of shutting down
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of the funds for this investigation and ruined
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of you know, the good work that they
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: were doing and limited what I was able to accomplish
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: without investigation. And it got a lot of people off
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the hook by doing that, which is crazy. Becauld you
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: just have these guys or guys meaning could be men
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: or women, but do you have these guys who are trained,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: who have been sent there to do a job that
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: they've also been a part of for a long time.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: But there's a little extra money and they just thought
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: they had to go spend it on you know, some
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: drinks and some gambling, and it spoiled the whole thing.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: It was like, it corrupted the whole investigation. But if
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: that leaks out because that part of the story, did,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: how come we're not seeing leaks have like the tapes
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: that they got of the coaches exactly? And I think
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: that is how a lot of programs really locked out.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: And I think, you know, we obviously saw Kansas was involved.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, a lot of the Nike schools,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: you know, when this investigation was announced, were really the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: nervous ones because I was kind of the crux of
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: what was happening was that these assistant coaches were making
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: side deals with the shoe companies to get their players
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to sign long term deals with the shoe companies and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: exchange for getting massive amounts of money to either the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: coaches personally or to fund all the money from the
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: coaches to the players to get them to go to
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: their school. Even when you look at LSU and what
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: happened there where, you know, not this last season, but
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you know, he got into some trouble and you know,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: he's not coaching somewhere else. But was there was he
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: involved in this specifically? You know, I don't. I think
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: he kind of had in a whole world of trouble
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: under himself. But it really was a connection of you know,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the FBI was undercovering a real, you know thing that
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: was happening in college basketball, which was all this under
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the table money, and it's really something that we knew
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: was happening all along, and you know, everyone kind of
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: turned a blind eye towards But another thing that kind
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: of helped out these college basketball coaches was, you know,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the start of nil And now everyone is used to
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: college players getting paid a ton of money. So if
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: you hear about, you know, a college basketball player getting paid,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: you know, a million dollars, that's not quite a shocking
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: now as it would have been, you know, four or
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: five years ago. Yeah, because when the Will Wade story
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: came out, they had audio of a recording and not
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the same. But I just imagine if he's doing it there,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: he's probably up in Vegas hitting it harder too. This
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: is all speculation on my part, but if Will Wade's
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: on a phone call and they got him recorded, I
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: can't imagine he's not up on the luxe or you know,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: going hard as well. Exactly. Yeah, and then McNee State
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: hired Will Wade. Is there a couple of those coaching
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: situations that I look at now that'd be a tough one. Also,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Old miss you know their basketball program with beer, that
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: would be a tough one. I mean, how eventually he
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: has to answer questions, right, because I've watched a couple
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: of depressors and he doesn't answer anything at all. Houston
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: what do you think that the idea is down at
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: old misses it just when and who cares? Is it? Yeah?
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I think that's kind of a motto that you know,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: they've they've seen finding a lot of success and other
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: programs for it. I mean, as long as you're win
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and people aren't going to be asking questions, and now
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: it flips on its head when you start losing, then
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: people have all sorts of questions. But you know, you
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: keep the fans happy, you keep the boosters happy, you
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: can stay away from a lot of trouble. When you
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: look back at Bruce Pearl who basically cooked a hamburger
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: for a kid and you know, gets sent out of Tennessee,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: you know, and he's at Auburn now, you know, you're right.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Sometimes things that happened now they're all okay because the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: rules have changed. But when it happened ten years ago,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: it's a whole offense. And you got him. You got
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to cleanse the program exactly. And I think that's one
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: of the things that makes the ncuble a so frustrating.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: There's a great example. You know, there was a kid
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: from a Florida state this year. He was one of
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: their you know, their top freshman that they brought in,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and right before the season started he got suspended for
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: over half the season. I think it was about twenty
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: games or so because he took a flight from Europe
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: to America when he was a teenager that was paid
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: for by some training company. The NC double A suspended
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: him twenty five games for that. It was, you know,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: a three hundred dollars flight. He had a missed basically
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: an entire freshman season because of that. And then you have,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: you know, all of it, as you mentioned, all these
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: coaches running around doing insane things that you know, because
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: they're winning, because they're more powerful, you know, they don't
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: have our face consequences. But GUNS double A can really
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: push her thumb down on people where they can find
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: reasons to do so and know that they won't get
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: a kind of push back from Were you thinking about
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Reggie Bush should he get his heisman back? Absolutely? Yeah.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I mean I think at this point, I think, you know,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: unless you're in jail, you should be pretty much cart
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: blaunched for saying getting everything back you deserve because I
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: think everyone is kind of reshaping in their minds what
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: a college athlete brings in terms of value and what
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: they should be receiving in terms of value, even just
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: gambling in general. Right, I mean, the betting culture is
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: now just a normal culture. I was at I was
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: doing an event, and I was speaking in an event,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: and I was sitting next to a pastor and he
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: was like, Hey, what's the line on the And I'm like,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: you're a pastor. But then I go, well, I shouldn't.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: There's nothing it's legal, there's nothing wrong with it, and
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: he was like, yeah, I bet on these games sometime
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: times for fun. And so even that I leaned like
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: somebody like Pete Rose, who obviously has been banned from
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: baseball because the gambling he did back in the day.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: But do you feel like that's different with Pete Rose
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: because he was betting within his sport, although he says
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: it's not the set his own team. Yeah, I mean,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: when you're when you're gambling on a sport that you're
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: an active participant on, it definitely gets into murky waters.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: And I think that's one of those things that you know,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: any sports league should have a really hard stance on,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: because you know, when you get into the actual integrity
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: of the games and the scores, themselves. You know, you
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: can kind of ruin a lot by doing that. So
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I you know, on the Pete Rose thing, I've kind
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: of an agreement of him. You know. It's tough because
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: it's hard to tell the story of baseball without Pete Rose.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: But you do have to suffer consequences when you are
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: in those waters. I'll throw one more at just Calvin Ridley,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: who was suspended for All twenty twenty two basically for
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: betting on NFL games, and he's back, he's playing this year.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: So is Pete Rose so different than Calvin Ridley? You know, honestly,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think their stories are that different, you know,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think Calvin Ridley is going to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: be uh breaking any NFL records, and you don't have
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame case that Pete Rose may have.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: But I think, you know, the NFL definitely used Colvin
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Ridley as an example to show that, you know, if
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: you come close to messing with the gambling waters, you're
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: gonna get in trouble. And I think, actually that's a
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: writer instance where I'm kind of in agreement with the
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: NFL there. So, Houston, if you're the director of all
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Sports and the Commissioner of All Sports, would you feel
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: that Pete Rose has served his time and now should
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: be allowed to be back in which then puts him
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame? Or would you say no forever?
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Or would you let him die and then put him
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame so he can't screw anything up?
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: You know? In my opinion, I think he has served
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: his sentence in terms of punishment, and I think it
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: would be good before he, you know, passes away to
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: get him in the Hall of Fame. And I actually
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: feel the same way about the stair work guys as well,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: just in terms of I don't think you can show
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the history of baseball without mentioning Pete Road, without mentioning
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Barry Bonds, those guys that are so integral to the sport.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: And if you want to, you know, put an asterisk
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: in there, however you can, that's fine, But they were
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: so important into the story of baseball that you have
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: to show what they accomplish. That's a great point about
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the steroid era in baseball. That was an era when
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the strike hit and we needed something amazing, and it's
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: like you needed Sosa and you needed Bonds and you
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: need a McGuire to all come out hit all these
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: home runs to get people interested in the sport. But
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: now we're going, well, since you had all the home
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: runs because you were taking steroids, we're gonna make sure
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: you're not allowed in the Hall of Famer. It's gonna
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: be very difficult for you to get in. You're right, Houston,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: that is very hypocritical, and I stand against I'm gonna
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: forget about this conversation in twenty minutes, but I stand
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: against it because we should let all the steroid users
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: in if they performed well. And I think I think
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: that's honestly like a similar mindset we have to the
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: nil now where you know, when the steroid stories where
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: first break in the early two thousands, all of us were,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: you know, we shocked, or we were at least acted
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: shocked by it. And I think looking back now, a
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: lot of those, uh, those reactions were probably overreactions, just
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: because we can appreciate now twenty years back, just how
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: talented Barry Bonds was, how you know, impressive it was
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: for Mark McGwire and Sammy Silsa to go on those
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: home run streaks, you know, and even before the steroid
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: you know, uh pop Phone, Barry Bonds, he probably was
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: still a Hall of Fame player. You know, those guys absolutely,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: you know, deserved the recognition now, and I think they've
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: more than suffered the consequences. They probably deserved some consequences
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: for you know, what they were dealing with, But they
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: need to be honored by Major League Baseball. I think, yeah,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: we needed them to do what they did to bring
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: baseball back, and they did right. It was all over everywhere.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: It was top of the cycle, news cycle and sports cycle.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: But now we're punishing them for what we needed them
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: to do. We suck. Yeah, me too. We suck for
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: not being we love these steroids. A couple other things
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about here is San Diego State
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: now want to run, made it all the way to
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the end, didn't win it, but all the way to
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the end, and now possibly going over to the PAC twelve.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: What are you hearing about this? Yeah, so you know,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: San Diego State was one of those teams that was
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: being looked at by the PAC twelve. And you know,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I did a video about this because you know, I
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: thought you can make the case that San Diego State
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: had more pressure in that tournament than maybe any team
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: in tournament history, just in terms of the fact that
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the future of their entire program could have very much
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: well been on the line in terms of whether they
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: were not they were going to get in the PAC
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: twelve at you know, the PAC twelve. Looking at San
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Diego State now, I think it's very different than looking
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: at San Diego State a few months ago. So you
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: can add a team into your conference that you know,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: just made a Final four, has a lot of you know,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: bright future ahead of them, And at San Diego State,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you know that people would make, you know, make fun
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: of the amount that the PAC twelve is making in
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: terms of pairing it to the SEC of the Big ten.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: But when you're comparing the mount the PAC twelve makes
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: to the Mountain West Conference, you know, in those smaller
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: level conferences, it's a huge difference. So san Diego State
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: getting Power five level money injected into their program, you know,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: they can become a really good football team. They're a
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: pretty decent football team right now. Just with you know,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: lower level conference funding. You give them PAC twelve funding,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I think they can be you know, a serious team
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: on the level of Utah, you know, those other Arizona,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Arizona State down, they'll be right in line with those teams.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: And that's a huge momentum for the San Diego State
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: program and building off that tournament run. I think it's
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: gonna be hard for the PAC twelve to deny them. Now.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: So when you talk about dan flex of cash, and
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I live in SEC Land and my favorite
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: teams an SEC team, and I understand what it can
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: do and what it allows, I mean, facility wise, coach wise,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: you just can kind of go down the line. But
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: what's the difference in Mountain West and PAC twelve money?
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: So the PAC twelve teams make you know, somewhere between
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: thirty or forty million a year right now, and they're
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: gonna signed another media contract soon. It's kind of we
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: don't know yet how much money they'll make, but they'll
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: probably be a little bit more than they're currently making now.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Mount West, you know, team they make as little as
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: you know, five million a year. So you think about
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: a six times you know, annual revenue increase for San
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Diego State. You know they can do a ton with that,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: not just you know, in terms of the players they
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: can do. They can hire a much higher level of coaches,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: you know, all across the board, you know everything that
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: you need to run a football program nowadays. And I
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: think San Diego State, you know, they knew that they
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: were on the precipice of getting invited joining in and
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: that's why I said, I think San Diego State had
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: as much pressure as any team because they knew that
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: they could make a name for themselves in that tournament
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: run and they pulled it off, which is pretty impressive.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I like realignment. I think it's fun. I think it's
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I understand it's a business. I think if
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: you get lost it it's not a business, then you
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: start to get sad. But I understand it's a business
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: that I also think is very fun. And so with
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: realignment in the SEC, we have Oklahoma and Texas coming
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: in nothing this year, but the next year after that?
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: To you, is that something that you're excited about? And secondly,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: you know we've seen kind of the league. I think
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: when Saban went down for media days, they had who
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Alabama was supposed to play, because Saban was upset, like,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: what are you hearing about how these coaches are feeling
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: about it? And have we kind of been told who
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: they're not pods really, but are you in totally that
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: that's who each team is playing as their specific three
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: It seems like the teams now have a pretty decent
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: idea of how the scheduling it's going to work. And
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: it seems like, you know, you'll have about two teams
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: that you two or three teams that you will play
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: every single year. And the problem is, you know, it'll
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: be a good thing for some teams, a good you know,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: a bad thing for other teams, but they're not going
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: to really keep the annual rivalries that as youc fans
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: will come to know, the big ones like Florida, Georgia,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: you know, Auburn, Alabama, those will stay, but you know, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, LSU,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: those games may not happen on an annual basis anymore.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: And again, you know, you can look at that a
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: good way or a bad way. I'm all for these
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: conference expansions. I'm really excited for and I think it's
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: something that is kind of being underdiscussed. But college football
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: is going to change so much after this upcoming season.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: You think this is the last season with four playoff
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: teams the SEC, Big Ten, Big twelve Pack twelve are
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: gonna look like completely different conferences after this season is over,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: you know, and even the way the conference championship games
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: are played, You're not going to have an East champion
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: in a West champion playing a championship. It's just going
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: to be the two teams with the best you know,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: overall records and conference play are going to be playing
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: in these conference championship games, which means you could get
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: you know, an Alabama Auburn an SEC championship game, a
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Michigan Ohio State Big Ten championship game. The accs are
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: already doing that this year. You know, the their their conference.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: You know, side draw the window, so you know, you
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: can have a SCU Clempson playing in an ACC championship game.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: And these are big time changes that you know are
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: going to really affect, you know, how fans view the sport,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: even how teams play, because you know, with the twelve
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: team playoff, a lot more teams are going to be
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: really invested in those final games of the year where
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: now you know, we come to the last two weeks
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: of the season, there's really only six teams that we
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: pay attention to in terms of national prominence. Now you know,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: there's so many teams that are going to be trying
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: to get those last few spots, and I think it's
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: going to make a really fun end of November run
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: for college football fans. Yeah, me too. I'm pumped about
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: it because again, it gives more programs a reason to
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: be very loud, annoying, vocal program and that's awesome. I
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: always say, if I'm annoyed at your team, or if
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I like hate you, not you Houston, I like you,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: but like hate you because of your allegiance. I mean,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: your team has been beating mine, and like I can't
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: stand tennis, I can't stand the volunteers. I hate them,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: But I tell them that all the time, that it's
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: respecting because if you did, if you aren't a thorn
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: in my freaking foot, I wouldn't hate you. I hate
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the long Horns. Maybe I just hate orange guys. Everything
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: about that may I just hate the color orange for
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: that reason, But it's you know, whenever you really despise
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: a team, it's because usually they've gotten the better of
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: view a bunch of times. But this is going to
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: make more programs unbearable for longer and I'm all for
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: it because that means I'm invested in I love the twelve.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Let's go to sixteen before even get the twelve going,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I say, it's gonna happen. Yeah, we see that in
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: college basketball, we will pass forty years teams seep getting
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: added to the tournament. It's going to happen in college
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: football as well. What do you think? I got a
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: couple more questions for you, but NIO you know as
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: far as what's happening in the NIL space now, And
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I will tell you that I've done a few INNIL
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: deals with players myself, so like, I am educated on
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the process. However, what I probably am not educated enough
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: on is what rules maybe put into place soon to
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: kind of corral in the old wild West right now? Like,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: what are you hearing in io wise that somebody could
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: do to just not make this a land of I'll
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: give you a million bucks and literally you've got to
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: come and sign a piece of paper. I mean, it's
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: almost there are no rules at all. What's going to
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: change exactly? And unfortunately, I honestly don't see that changing
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: anytime soon because the NC Double A right now is
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: making the same mistake that it's made for the past,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: you know, twenty thirty years or so, which is they're
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: hoping that, you know, Congress is going to fix all
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: their problems for them. They're trying to go through Congress,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: through their senators to create you know, a national NIL bill,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: and there's just not support for that, and I don't
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: think the NCAA is gonna have any success with that,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: you know. And short of that, the NCAA doesn't seem
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: to have any real interest in creating you know, NIL
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: barriers themselves. They probably know that, you know, as an institution,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: they're not powerful enough to keep these NIL deals. And so,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: you know, at this point, I think the NCUBLE kind
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: of has its hands behind us back, and you know,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: we're only going to see these NIL shoots grow unless
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: conferences come together. You know, the n SEC in the
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Big Ten decide, hey, we're going to do this. We're
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: going to set these laws ourselves. We don't care what
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: the rest of the nc DOUBLE is doing, but we're
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: gonna make these laws just for a SEC teams, just
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: for Big Ten teams. And you know, dat spurs further
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: points of what people have been saying the future of
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: college football is, which is just the SEC in the
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Big Ten separating away from the NC Double A, and
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I think that may be the spur of all of this.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: And same question about the portal again new ish, but
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I feel like there have got to be some sort
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: of rules, especially when it comes to poaching. We saw
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the you know, some of the guys that were in
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the tournament saying we're already being poached and we're still
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: playing in the NCAA tournament. You know, do you see
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: the NC DOUBLEA or any governing body stepping in and
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: making any new rules about the portal. I think the
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: transfer portal is one area where that the NCAA actually can,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: you know, make some changes for the better, because on
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: the whole, I think the transfer portal has been a
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: really great thing overall for both football and basketball, and
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: especially for the players as well. We've seen already that,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: you know, football, they have these transfer windows now which
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: weren't there before. So you have a couple of weeks
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: after the season ends, and we're gonna have the transfer
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: portal open back up here in a few weeks after
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: spring practice ends. You know that that organizes it a
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: little bit as far as the tampering goes. I don't
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: know how that you're going to settle that issue, because
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: if you know, next to even wants a player that's
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: on a lower level college football team, he's probably going
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: to get the word out to him. You know, that
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: guy probably wants to hear from Alabama himself. You know.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Final question, final final question. I've already asked the final
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: best in the final final is a double final? If
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: you were stock marketing these SEC football teams, I assume
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: you're a Bulldog fan. I'm not. I know where you live.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Are you a big Georgia fan? You know? Actually not.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I graduated from a Florida state, so I'm a seminal
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: fan at part. I try to be as impartial as possible.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: One comes to FSU. It's a little tough. You guys
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: should come to the SEC too, like you guys in
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Clemsons should both just come over and join the fine,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: don't you agree? You your mouth to God's ears. I
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: have that happen. So if you were good, then you're
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: not into a team stock market up? What SEC team
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: do you look at and go? Man? If I were
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: buying right now, that will be the one I would
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: jump into. You know, I really like LSU you know,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I value bringing back starting quarter backs. LSU's bringing back
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: a pretty good one. They've got another really good one
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: waiting in the wings. And I think, you know, as
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: much as we all make fun of coach Kelly down there,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I think he's a great college football coach. And you know,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I think Elsie's going to be a problem for a
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: lot of teams. Um, you know, Georgia, I don't think
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: i'd buy stock and Georgia's because their stock price is
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: probably more than I could afford right now. But but
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: you know, ls here is the team that I'm eyeing,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: and you know, with Texas joining the STECC you know,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I think the amount of money that they're throwing into
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: that Texas program, it's almost going to be impossible for
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: them not to be good coming up here in the
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: next few years. I'm gonna start market up South Carolina
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: and beemer what they're doing over there, and just in
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: every way, it's just positive, positive, positive. They're getting recruits.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to national championship next year.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: But you know, that's a stock that doesn't cause a
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: whole lot that i'd buy right now because it just
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: is continuously exactly how they ended their season. Not many
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: teams ended as a press of a season that South
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Carolina did. I cursed Clemson. That's why they lost. I
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: got on the air and I cursed Clemson, and that's
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: why Clemson lost South Carolina. Okay, final part of the
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: same question, who do you sell? Because stock's going down.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I'm doing a lot of bad vibes out of Gamesville
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: right now. You know, the the Skaters programming, you know,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: a starter with their disastrous recruiting pitch to their quarterback.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: They lost their you know, big time recruit you know,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: they lost a lot of guys that were gonna be
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: you know, starters or potential starters for them to the
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: transfer portal, you know. And Napr you know, I think
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: he hasn't shown, you know, to be a really bad
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: coach in my mind, but I'm not sold on him
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: being able to build the Florida program into what the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: fans expect. And if you're not building a media championship
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: roster for those Florida fans, they are going to get
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: you pretty quick. And I sell Tennessee because they hate him,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: that's all. I just don't want to my portfolio. I
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: just don't want over and so get rid of it. Okay, listen, everybody,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: you guys follow on Twitter and TikTok the corner Blitz

• 37:35
  Speaker 1: the playoffs are set in the playing games. Finally that West.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: We just had to get that in some sort of
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: condition to even understand what's going on. But it's there.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: But here we go to the playing games. Hawks and
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Heat Heat minus five. Boy. NBA games to me are
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: like NFL games as then I never really know. I'm
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: just kind of throwing a dart at a board on
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: NBA games or NFL games. And when I do really know,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: that's when I really don't know. When I remember about it,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, yeah, the Colts, for sure, we're gonna
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: go Colts by forty. So let me just pick one
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: of these games that I feel good about it. So
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Hawks at Heat Heat minus five, Timberwolves at Lakers, Lakers
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: or six and a half point favorites. I would just
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: take a Laker's money line. They're all pretty big spreads, five,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: six and a half, five and five. I would go
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Lakers and Heat money line and leave it at that.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: You're gonna make a ton of money on that, Yeah,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: but you're gonna lose either. Don't listen to me for
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: NBA game betting. Just don't. I tell you. I'm I'm
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: really good at college football. I'm probably average at NFL
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: NBA below average because I have an NBA Sunday ticket.
• 38:41

• 38:44
  Speaker 1: called league pass. I call an NBA Sunday ticket. U
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Bulls at Raptors, Raptors five point favorite, Thunder at Pelicans
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Pelicans five point favorite. I'll like the thunder win the game.

• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I'm just playing the odds here. Plus nine fifty for
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: the sixers. Why are you looking at me like that.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: I was gonna well, then you said maybe not to
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: win it, because that's like you really trust them be
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: But I would take them to win it. But just
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: because the odds are I feel like a plus nine fifty,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: that's a good bet to make that if you were
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: to bet at ten times, one out of those ten
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: times it hits. I agree. I mean the odds are great.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: And also you could bet it and they get to
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: the finals. You can just well, they got to get
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: through obviously, Milwaukee, Boston, maybe both, maybe just one, maybe
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: none if they don't play them and they lose first round.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: But if they can just get to the finals, cash out, baby,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: take your money. Cash out. You know, I gotta win
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, that's true. But the East is gonna
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: be hard. I don't know. But Phoenix is gonna be
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: tough too. I mean, it's probably gonna be Phoenix in Boston, right,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: I'd love to see that. I know, you're a big
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Celtics guy. Yeah, I love it. Or I mean they
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: could be Phoenix and Milwaukee Golden State though, but I
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: don't know. Tuesday playing games Hawks at heat winner plays
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: the Celtics. Loser plays the winner of the Bulls and Raptors,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: which is another one of those playing games. So if
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: you win it, you're in. Winner plays the Celtics. Congratulations,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: you just won the Is this the playoffs? By the way,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: is the play in the playoffs? I say yeah, it
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: is too. It's the postseason. Yeah. And people say that
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: the in the NCAA tournament the round of sixty eight,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: they call that the NC douba A tournament. Those games
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: to get you in the sixty four. So this is
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Yeah. Some people say the ruly the playoffs.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you can lose and go home, I
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: consider it the playoffs. And do they say that to
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: the two eleven seeds that are playing in the round
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: of sixty eight, that's not the NC doable A tournament.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Yes it is. You're in the tournament, and if you win,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: you're already bracking it up against the person that's coming up. Yeah.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say it is the playoffs. Hawks and
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Heat winner plays the Celtics, timber Wolves and Lakers winner
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: plays Memphis. I think if the Lakers win this, I
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: think they could beat Memphis. I do I know you're
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: not a believer. You're sealing them on, like what second round?
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Second round? So I do think they could beat Memphis.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: The only thing is, I don't know if they can
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: hang with them night tonight. They don't have to athleticism
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: and there's a couple. Yeah, but I would I'd be
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: surprised if they beat them. No, I wouldn't. Well, that's
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: that's we hate answers like that because it gives you
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: a yes and and now. And if I had a shock,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: if I were able to take it like a little
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: shock caller and strap it to you guys as testicles
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: anytime you did something, anytime you did something, I was like,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: that's not cool. Shock you on that one. Yes, because
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: that's the poser alert. Can't do that for fun testicle shocking. Yeah,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: you do your own, Okay, let us know. Yeah, get
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: back to this. So, yeah, Tuesday night, those are the
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: games there at Wednesday night Bulls at Raptors, and you
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: gotta win this to go up, not into the playoffs,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: but to play the loser that came down from the
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: other game. Loser gets eliminated and then nine thirty Eastern
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: subby thirty Central Thunder at Pelicans. Let's go Thunder. Yeah,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: that'll be fun. Roll well, Garth, I saw that the
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: average age of the Thunder was like twenty one and
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: a half. So young, it's like the youngest NBA team.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: All Right, here we go, Seatings, Calves and Knicks will
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: play first round. I'm going I'm going with Calves there,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: but barely see me a fun one. I agree, Sixers
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: and Nets. The Nets are playing so good. If they
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: beat Philly in round one, that's trouble for everybody that
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: wears a Sixers uniform, including Doc Rivers may wearing uniform,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: but he's over there next to people wearing uniforms. Absolutely,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: But the Nets have been playing so I mean, they've
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: been so good consistently ever since Kyrie left. Yeah, but
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: I'm still gonna go with the seventy sixers. So I
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: got Calves, Sixers, Celtics are gonna beat the heat Hawks winner,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: and the Bucks are gonna beat whoever wins out of
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: the play playing game. Western Conference Suns and Clippers. That's
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: gonna be a Sons when they're as long as Kadi
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: is healthy enough to make people think he's healthy because
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: he gets so much attention that in order for them
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: to stop the Suns consistently. They're gonna stop Katie if
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: he's sealthy or they think he's healthy. They you have
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: to give him that attention, which opens it up and
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: leave so much space for everybody else. Yeah, including Booker,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Kings and Warriors. That sucks for the Kings. Said this
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. It sucks for the Kings.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: They're finally in. They're a three seed and they got
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: to play the Warriors that are only a six because
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: they've had a lot of their guys out all year.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: The Grizzlies will play the winner of the Lakers and Pelicans.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: If it's the Lakers, I'm taking the Lakers over the
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: two seed, and the Nuggets will play the winner of
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: the final playing game. So there you go. It's fun though.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: It's fun because Lebron's back in love him or hate him.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Lebron brings eyeballs. It's fun that Golden State is a
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: sixth seed. It's fun to see the Kings have such
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: a high seed. So it's a little credibility to those
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: guys because that was such a losing I was just
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: they were just Loserville, man. Everything about him a Loserville. Yeah,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: you're going too the arena wall. I'm Louise vill population
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: five on our side. I mean it was a bad,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: bad situation, so super excited to see that. On the East,
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: you got what you expect. Janis obviously the Celtics, who
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: have two superstars, the Sixers. This probably the final go
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: at it unless they go at it. I can't see
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Hardens staying if they fail flame out. I can't see
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Doctor Rivers being kept if they fall around one. I
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: saw harden Is in the playoffs for the fourteenth straight time.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Fourteen doesn't even seem like he's been around that long.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like he's been around a love
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: wild but wow, you know, speaking of the playoffs, I
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: do see now where the NBA's investigating the Mavericks for
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: sitting folks and then also pulling Luca like first quarter,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: early second Yeah, right at the first quarter. I'm cool
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: with teams tanking. It's strategy. Competition has as much strategy
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: as it is anything else. Now, if it we're an
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: owner who was tanking, or an owner was doing something
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: getting bad players because he didn't want to pay, that's
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: one thing to me, because you're not giving your fans
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: a fair chance. But if you feel like for your fans,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: the most fair chance at a championship is getting a
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: better draft pick, and you're gonna take You're gonna go
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: full lucky charms. Then I get it. Now, let me
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: tell you about lucky charms. When I am a lucky charms,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: ate all the oats first, ate the marshmallows second, so
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: I could have my prize at the end. Some people
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: take the spoon and they have balance in their life.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: They take the spoon, They go oats marshmallows all together.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Not me. I will suffer through the oats and at
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: the end have all marshmallows and it is a little
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: too sweet sometimes, yes, but that's okay. But I'll go
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: full oats a little bit of mark for a little
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: bit of marshmallows that are all clumped together at the
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: very end. And if you're a basketball team, or you're
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: a football team, or you're a base not really baseball
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: is a drafts different situation there. But if they want
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: to lose in order to have a strategic advantage to
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: get better fast, I got no problem with that, especially
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: if there are no real roles against it. What they've
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: tried to do to stop tanking is make it all
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: percentage based, so if you're the number one losing team,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: you dont automatically gets the first pick. It's all percentage based. Well,
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: you got a twelve percent chance you got it. And
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: so to other teams who didn't finish as bad as you.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: What happened was Harry Rban didn't play, Hardaway Junior didn't play,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Josh Green didn't play, Christian Wood didn't play. All these
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: people are playing on Friday, Luca goes in, and you
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: know why, I think he went in. I don't know
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: it's for sure, but where is he from? Whatever it was,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: they were having like an appreciation for like the people
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: like his his folks. Yeah, they came from that country.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: I think that's what it was like about Slovenia appreciation night.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. Looked at up to make sure I'm
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: not crazy. It was some sort of appreciation night. I
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: think the only reason he played, and then he came
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: out of the game. And so had they won that game,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: they would have been in as the ten playing for
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: that spot to get that eight. You're correct, the second
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: annual it was that's the only reason he played. Wow,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: So what are they gonna do they're not gonna win.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: So let's say they get the ten. Let's say they
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: win the play in to get to the eight. All
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: they're doing is making their draft pick worse. They're not
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: gonna win the title, So I'm totally down. I'm good
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: as long as your team isn't trying to cut budget
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: so the owner doesn't have to pay. Cuban, you know,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: wants to win, no doubt about it. Whenever they missed
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: that shot at them the game because Dallas had a
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: chance to win at the end of the game off
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: the side of the backboard, and then you see Cuban
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: his hands are in his head. You're like, bro, you're
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: just covering your face because you're smiling exactly, face sad, exactly. Yeah,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: I have no problem with tanking if it's if it's strategy.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: We all every game we play, we have some sort
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: of strategy with it. This is part of it. The
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert Kyle Anderson I don't know finger quotes fight
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: was hilarious, especially now that you know what they said.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Because if I feel like Kyle Anderson said to Rudy Gobert,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: block some shots. They said some bad words. Trying to
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: remember this because I don't think I have it down.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: And then Kyle Anderson said to Rudy Gobert and the
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: word the b words on around, why don't you get
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: a rebound? And then Gobert, who's ninety four ft tall,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: long swing who adam him in the shoulder. But they
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: sent Gobert home like a kid who got in trouble.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: I know, kid, we got in trouble at recess fighting
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: with somebody. Time to go home. Great, Kyle Anderson stayed
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: in the game. Gobert apologized. He even put up to
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: the picture of Umu who got in the fight with
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: the Warriors. M Raymond, Yeah, Draymond and Jordan Pool Pool. Yes,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: he put the picture of Draymond anyway, I don't know
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: about Timberwolves. Did you also see Jade McDaniels, the other
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: guy that he had He left the game where he
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: got pushed or in the locker room and he punched
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: something broke. He broke his hand. That's right. Oh, that's
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: a disaster. What a day. The Warriors sitting ANYBA record
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: fifty five points in the first quarter versus the Blazers.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: They won one fifty eight one oh one. Clay Thompson
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: dropped five three pointers in the first five minutes of
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: the game. He had twenty points in twenty two minutes.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Thompson joined Curry and Harden as the only players did
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: three hundred plus three pointers in a single season. That's
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: pretty awesome. They have the sixth seed, Warrior, so no
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: play in game. Can they come out of the West?
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: Yes or no? Yeah, I'll always say yes to them.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: I think if they because obviously you have to win
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: your first round. But I think what actually is advantageous
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: to them is they're playing a really good team first.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: So if they win this round, they're not having to
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: pop up and play the one. They'll have to play
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: the two because one, four, two. But still before that
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: you're going to eight. So one, eight, two, seven, three,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: six right four five. If they beat that three, they're
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: basically the three. Then they would play the two. So
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: that means counted down with me from the West, one
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: is Denver, So they're not playing Denver. No, They're gonna
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: play the two, which will be either Memphis or the Lakers.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: But if they should say Lakers, but let's say they
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: play the Lakers or Memphis, I would much rather play
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: the Lakers or Memphis. Than Denver or the Suns. If
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: they win the first round. I think they got a
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: better second round draw. I don't know, but it also
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: depends on who the Lakers. You heard what I said, Lakers? Hey,
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: all right, I'll in on the Lakers. Hear what I said?
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Tyree Hill says it. We retired after his contract ends.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: And that's always easy to say when you're in a
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: new contract. I've done this myself a few times. I'm
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: not a big deal here. I'm out after this one. Yeah,
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: about three fourths of the way through. You got a lifestyle.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: You also got some things you want to build. You
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: want to it ain't so easy. He says he's planning
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: to retire at the end of his deal. He says
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five final season. Thing is though, he's also
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: thirty one years old, so he'll be thirty four thirty
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: five or so he'll beat thirty one. Oh is that it? Yeah,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: he's only I know. Oh, he's not retiring. Mark it down.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Put this in the notes of my predictions. Yeah, he
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: won't retire. It'd be too young. Yeah. ODB signing a
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: one year deal with the Ravens, which, so does that
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: mean that Lamar's coming back. Are they close? Is that
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: what you see? I saw a FaceTime of those two talking. Yeah,
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: and then they rode the club last night together. Right,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: So everything about that says that Lamar should be coming back,
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: and they got him to make Lamar happy because they're
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: not giving Lamar exactly what Lamar wants, but they're going
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: to still really make them feel real special by overpaying
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: for OBJ Well, fifteen million guaranteed. I thought i'd be
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: eleven or twelve. I think I said that here. I
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: did not think they'd give him twenty. But it's worth
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: up to eighteen million with the centives, but fifteen million guaranteed.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: The Ravens had been in contact with you know, ob
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: ob J since last year. I think, ODB, maybe I
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: got your money since ob J since last year. Yeah, um,
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: but he just hasn't played. I mean, he's been hurt,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: but so as Lamar. Maybe that's what they bond. They
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: go to the same physical trader. They just hung out
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: physical therapy and they're like, hey, but hey, why are
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: you here? Me too? We should be on the same team.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: The pitch clocks made a big impact on dead time
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: in baseball games. I saw one game Win an hour
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: and like fifty minutes. Yeah, it was like a one
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: oh game or two one game. I'm I'm sure which
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: one was. It was win an hour and fifty minutes.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. I saw Air the movie
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: a bout an hour and fifty minutes. Wow, it's awesome.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: It was great, by the way, Yeah, freaking amazing, amazing
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: if you're a sports person or you it's like the
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: history of Nike basically, although Mike didn't you think they
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: made Phil Knight kind of dopey, very dope, really cheesy,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: like if that's really I feel Night is And I'm
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: sure there's something to it because Ben Affleck's Night is
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: gonna because the movie wasn't really cheesy. No, just his
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: character was him going for a run coming back? Yeah,
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: just Phil Knights seemed like a real, like dopey kind
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: of dude. Really, I'm sure brilliant in his own ways
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: because you don't build that. But it was just a
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: running shoe company. They didn't have any basketball players that
• 55:18

  Speaker 1: to give me the whole Easter weekend? Good where'd you go? Freestar?

  Speaker 1: I went back home to Arkansas. So the family um
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: ate some good food. You know, well most families, you know,
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: usually cooked, but my family we ordered Mexican food. But
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: it was it was incredible. It was good. Well Mike's
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: family also had Mexican. Yeah, we just call it food then. Yeah,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: it's just like it is what it is. Final thought, Kevin,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: mine is gonna be on a note. We don't talk
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: about hockey. We haven't yet. But I'm not a huge
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: hockey guy. Hockey Yeah, me either, but you know, these
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: bruins just at the NFL record yesterday they won sixty
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: three games. I've seen him play a couple times. I
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: saw him here against the Preds. In person. I don't
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: know a lot about hockey, but they are damn good
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: and they're fun to watch. I will watch in the
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: playoffs I usually do every year, and then especially them
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: being good, it's gonna be fun. Yeah. I know nothing
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: about hockey. I went to Man a couple of games,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: but I've really live been to want to watch the
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: actual hockey because I want I want on the broadcast.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Once I was like a commentator for here, and I
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: don't know crap about hockey, so I wasn't calling any
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: of the game. But I went to a game I
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: watched maybe like Game six and Stanley Cup Finals. It
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: was rereads here in Nashville and the Pittsburgh Penguin that
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: we got beat and it was ugly, and I was like,
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: all right, that doesn't for me. I'm out here. We're
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: checking out on this one. It's funny go in person, though,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: I do want to say too. My final thought was
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: I'd just like to compliment anybody that has anything to
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: do with the coverage of the Masters, because I could
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: basically watch any hole I could if I just put
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: in a little effort follow almost any golfer I wanted,
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: but just knowing where they were on the course, because
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: on the ESPN side of things, they would have a
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: mint corner, they'd have whole three, four or five six,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: they'd have specific groups with specific It was just easy.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: I have YouTube TV. It's kind of my main TV
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: spot two so right beside each other with Golf Channel ESPN.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: The coverage was awesome for an event that's so old
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: and it's all tradition, and it's like Fogie Central, Like
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: they're really like progressive on making sure we can see
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. It's pretty cool. So I shout them out.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: That's my final thought. I loved that. I love the Masters.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: I think it's so much fun. Glad to see Tiger
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: makes cuts, sad to see him hurt his foot or
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: just not want to play anymore. It was raining. I
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: felt that too. I was lumping around two when it
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: was raining. Yeah. I tried to pull out of our
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: game with Eddie and I out of the course of
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: his muddy and he was like, you can't. You can't quit, dude,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: you can't. Withdrawal didn't work. It wasn't a tournament, and secondly,
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: just get the car and go home. I was like, oh,
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: I should probably within draw. It's like read you have
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: final thought. Uh yeah, So I'm gonna skip all the
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: way to this coming up weekend. It's gonna be my

• 59:32
  Speaker 1: weekend and I don't know. I don't know if I'll
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: psyching myself out because I knew that I needed longer clubs. Now,
• 59:39
