  Speaker 1: It was a plus. It was so good. He also
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: wasn't mean. He roasted, but he wasn't mean. He didn't

  Speaker 1: punch down. He was perfect for it. And I was
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: so irritated watching some of the reviews, like audience doesn't
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: laugh during Shane Gillis's SPI monologue because the audience was
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: scared they were next. The audience was like, oh God,

  Speaker 5: Out so easy?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And this is near the end, So the crowd's kind
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of gotten into it at this point, and I'm just
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: kind of playing some in order of why. So this
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: one is the one that people were upset. Some people
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: were upset about. This is the Caitlyn Clark joke, the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: waffle house joke. It was super funny, unless your little
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: butt gets hurt at anything. Go ahead, Kaitlyn Clark.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: She and I have a lot in common.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: We're both whites from the Midwest who have nailed a
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: bunch of threes. All Right, there you go, light up
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: a little. This is not serious. We'll see about this one.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: When Kaitlyn Clark retires from the w NBA, she's going
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: to work at a waffle house so she can continue
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: doing what she loves most, fist fighting. Black women.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Were hard on that one.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: It's so funny. Okay, we the three the threes is awesome. Dude, Yeah,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Nail in the threes my favorite joke, and I'll go
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: ahead and get to it now. Doe number seven. This
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: is my favorite of the entire night, and I think
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: people were confused a little while it happened, which is
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: part of the joke.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Four time w NBA All Star Britney Hicks is here.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Give it up for Brittany, everybody, I'm I'm joking around.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: That's my friend's wife. I knew, none of you knew
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: w NBA players.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: You clap for that?
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: So good?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: That's my very joking night. The crowd like, yep, yeah,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Brittany Hicks.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: I mean I wasn't even clapping Brinny Hicks.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Four time All Star honor she's here.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: That is crazy.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It's so funny. So let's do the clip four alien joke.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Joe Rogan actually wanted me to be here to host
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: this award show so that I could capture Adam Silver
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: because Joe thinks he's an alien. And Donald Trump wanted
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: to be wanted me to be here to capture Juan
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Soto for the same.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Reason he got Boodle.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Now it's going hard. I'm telling you, it was perfect. Yeah,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it was pissing off a little group. A little bit
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: of the group was like, I don't know if I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: just laugh because camera's on me, and the other groups
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: just like dying laughing, and that was shifting throughout the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: whole crowd gohing. Hit the next one.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump wants to stage a UFC fight on the
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: White House lawn. The last time he staged a fight
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: in DC. Mike Pen's almost died.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: The crowd down and they were like, that's a good one,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the excellent one. More. Actually, there was supposed to be.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: An Epstein joke here, but as it got deleted, must
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: have probably deleted itself, right, probably never existed. Actually, let's
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: move on as a country and ignore that the crushed.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: If you get a minute like ten, go watch the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: entire monologue on TikTok and you've heard a lot of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the jokes is great. Couldn't have done better because there
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: were enough uncomfortable people, And when you have that, you
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: can't judge how good or bad it is based on
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the reaction of the crowd, because at the beginning of
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that it would just huh.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: And you're so right with cameras there, you don't want
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: to react.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And there were celebrities that wouldn't laugh, or you would
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: see them trying not to laugh because they knew the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: cameras were right on them. Because what happens when you're
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: at an award show. You know where the cameras are,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: because the cameraman has a camera on his shoulder and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: he gets right and freak in front of you.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they don't zoom there, No, yeah, it's not.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: From the corner. You know, at any point they're probably
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: gonna show your face, because it's happened when I've been
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: these award shows. If they're gonna put me on or
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: somebody next to me, they'll put the camera right on
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the shoulder and be right and you're like, oh God,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. Have a face. Oh,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that joke's offensive, but it's really funny. What do I do?
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: And then you look like a bad guy. Yes, yeah,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I think Lamar's head was down at one point that
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: the camera on him.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: His head was.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he did a joke about Shuar Sanders did a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: whole thing where he was first. It was like, ah,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that's that's not at nepotism because he went thirteen to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: twelve and almost on the Alamobowl. That's why Jersey was retired.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: And Lamar's like, oh yeah, yeah, He's like, it's Jersey's retired,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that's not nepotism. Look at the look at the stats.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: He was thirteen to twelve and almost on the Alamobile. Yeah,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it was good. Oh, I do want to play the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: clip of Shack threatening RG three. Good, he takes the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: sunglasses off too.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: It does man looks on a camera. Yeah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Shaq was on a podcast recently and threatened to beat
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: up RG three because RG three keeps coming to Angel Reese.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: But mostly it was about that retweet of the graphic
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: that somebody did and really really really poor taste of
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Angel Reese. And RG three didn't have to retweet that
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and make the comment. He really didn't. Yeah, And so
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Shaq says this on at Gillian bow on Twitter's page
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: here you go.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: Oh, speaking of man RG three tweeting another monkey post
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: about my girl Angeury, some punch in your face. Okay,
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: it's enough. I don't usually do stuff like this, but
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: just stop it, bro, you got your job, you got
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: your podcast. Leave my angelries alone. I'm the one calling
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: her and telling her not to respond. Stop it. That's
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: the last time.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't watch coming after me. No, I'm scared
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't catch me if I'm MARGI three. But if
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: he does, correct, if he does, that's trouble. We had
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game a couple of nights ago, and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I fell asleep and stopped watching after like the first inning,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and we came in and I had seen that they
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: did the swing off at the end. I loved it awesome.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't watch it live. I would never watch anything
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that late live on a weeknight because unless it's Arkansas playing,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: because I gotta I gotta go to bed. But that
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: was really cool. I wish they would do that in
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: major league games instead of bending.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Oh, that'd be amazing.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: What was bizarre to me? And again I missed it live,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna act like I was so die
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: hard and I was up watching having these thoughts. I
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: watched it all on clips the next day. I'm like, oh,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: this is super cool. It's basically home run derby at
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the end of the game, and that what a fun
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: way because I said to Eddie it was like penalty
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: kicks in soccer, which I think is the best part
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: of a soccer match. Penalty kicks because they don't score
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: any goals, we can at least get some goal scored.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: And I thought that was super cool, and that would
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: be super cool if they implemented that in like the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: first half of the regular season, because they're gonna be like, well,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: we can't do this in meaningful games, right, fine, that
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: makes sense. They do take the runner off second base
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs for extra innings, and people were way
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: against that in extra innings at first. But if you
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: just play extra innings with nobody on those stupid games
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: go seventeen eighteen, nineteen innings, it's crazy to do something
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: and baseball's already slow. And thought I was boring, So
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I love for the first half of the year if
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: they would do that swing off it was so cool. Yeah. Secondly,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and now I think everybody knows, but people were going
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: where's Otani? Where's Judge? Why aren't they the ones hitting
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the balls? Yeah?
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Because they go They go to the managers, right, like
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: all right, American League, here's your manager of Boone, Like
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: who are you gonna have hitting? And it's like name
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: three people? Like who?
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: Like you have Aaron Judge? Like who?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: They're not there? They went home. I never knew they
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: went home in the middle of the game.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: Wild.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: This is how I found out that the players leave
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the game. Unless you may be
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the MVP, then you stay. But other than you just
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: go home.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Some dudes, like when the locker room changed their clothes
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: and they were like in regular street clothes, came out
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: and watched the game. I get it.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: But if the one who would it have been to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: see them in street clothes? Bomb and ball? They call
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: them from the bleachers sick, I propose, because again, baseball
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: is not a sport that makes big changes or any
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: change quick. But they are a sport now that starts
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to see young people don't care as much as they
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: used to. And you're also seeing the Savannah Bananas sell
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: out like crazy, impossible to get tickets. So what are
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: we going to do to grow baseball, because we are
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: seeing that baseball can be grown if done right. And
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I think one of the really cool things to do
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: would be to make this I'm not going to say
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: the whole season. I guess the playoffs. Traditionalists will have
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: a freaking fit the first half of the season leading
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: up to the All Star Game. Any game going into
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: extra innings, you do the freaking swing.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Off, yeah, awesome. And then even as a fan you're like,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: because if it goes to extras, You're like, I'm out
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: of here. I'm not gonna stick around. Who knows how
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: long this is gonna lie. And how they did it too,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: with like you get three swings. It's awesome, so cool.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: What was also cool too, is that did you watch
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: it live?
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: I did, well. I had money on it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Oh you bet it had.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: In the American League. So when they came back, I'm
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: staying up to watch this thing. What was really cool though,
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: were the pitch reviews.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: So I was going to bring that up next, So
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: they they did it before the season started, so in
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: uh spring training, and so the A B S system
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah whatever, that system abs challenge system. I would love
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: for that to be a permanent part of the game,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: but not with noamp because that just looks weird if
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: there's just a catcher and a batter and.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Somebody has to get hit by the ball.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I think eventually whatever robot ump I think being able
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to challenge is great, especially with money now being bet
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: And I'm not the first person to say, now that
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: money's being bet on games, you need to get it right.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: When you can legally allow betting, you need to make
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: sure the call is right. And that's what happened. It
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: was so smooth, Buttom the first inning I actually saw
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: it being used because it was like the first inning
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: of the game. Pretty cool. Yeah, there was even a
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: challenge on a call.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: There was one where it was just a sliver of
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: a hit of a strike, like I mean, dude, it
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: barely touched it about, Like that's legit, it's real. You
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: can't argue it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I think umpires are needed. I like humans. I'm pro human.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: By the way, wait better now, it can't be any
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: more pro human than me. But I do think balls
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and strikes for sure needs to be able to be
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: reviewed because everything else can be reviewed. And if we
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: want to do it the first half of the year, great,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: because we've done it in the spring training, we do
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: it in the All Star Game. Let's just see how
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it goes for the first half of the year. Actually
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: make it in some games that matter.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like the umps. You know, I would
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: not speaking for every umpire out there, but I feel
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: like they like to be right.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You know, they got a little bit of power. It's embarrassing.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Some have big egos. It's ridiculous.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I think it's even ego aside. I think it kind
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: of sucks if you're wrong anyway, even if you're not
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: a big ego person, like your job is to get
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: it right. Let's say take balls and strikes out of it.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Let's say tag at second, Oh all right, we want
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to review, and you go and review. You're just praying,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I hope I'm right, and you were
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: so animated to when you're out of that, and then
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: they come back and they're like, overturn the call. You know,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: that's even if your ego is not big, even if
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you're not the guy that is loud and large, you're like, oh,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: now I have to go admit in front of everybody
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that I was.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Wrong at my job. And they get graded after every game. Yeah,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: like the MLB grades them and sees who does the best,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: who's most accurate, So that would suck.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: That would suck a little bit.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm all. I want to say it again. I'm
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: pro human. You can't be any more pro human than me.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Thank goodness, dude, Yeah, glad you are so.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: But I think the umpires serve a purpose behind on plate,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: just not to have full of thought already of balls
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and strikes. They can call balls and strikes, but I
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: think you should be able to challenge.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: And we got to have coaches be tossed. Still, that's fun,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: that's great.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Of course.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: My favorite are the clips when the coach like, just
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: throw me out. I'm gonna kick some dirt, John, just
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: kick me out here. I really need to do a
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: scene here. High see for dinner later on. Right. They'll
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: walk out in their mouths covered at first a little bit,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: so no one can read their lips of job boy
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: can't read their left everybody. I was, alright, you just
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: get me arguing, you mother out of here. So I
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: did think the game was fun because they got to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: wear their old universe, their normal uniforms. Yea, they haven't
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: done that in like six or seven years. So it hasn't.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: But when we were kids, it's all they did. It
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: wore the original uniforms and it was so cool to
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: see your guys on your team make the All Star team.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: So the All Star Game is great, Like baseball is
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: doing a pretty good job at trying to smell like
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: move forward a bit instead of just staying the same,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: which was making them fall back. Pitch clock great.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: I like, eliminate the shift they did they did with
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: the defense.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Although you know what the shift. The shift is kind
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: of a strategic movie of all that. I'm pro human.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I'd like to I didn't really hate the shift. I
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: didn't just be a better hitter.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: And I don't understand like everyone's moved to the right.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: You're a wide open on the left. Can't you just like,
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: come on, just trimp the ball that.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Way a little bit, That's what I'm saying, Like, learn
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: learn to hit opposite field. You're pro, you know you're
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest hitters in America, or you wouldn't
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: be in the major leagues. Maybe learn how to hit
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the opposite film wide open over there, swing a fraction
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: of a second late. That's all you gotta do.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: Maybe it's harder than we think. But I don't know.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Probably British open keeping up with it when we do
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the show. I don't keep up with it at all.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I guess you do.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: We do the show, it's on, and you know we
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: got a break.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I look over, I'm talking about the morning show. This
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: morning started this morning.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean dude, when Yeah, I mean by the time,
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: like we're rolling on the show, I think the first
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: group's already done. It's I don't know what how early
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: it is over there, but it's crazy that half of
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: the tournament or the day round is pretty much done
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: when America is starting to roll out of bed.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like football, I know London, but for a
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I guess I mean time zones.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: You know, I've heard of them. Yeah, but Sundays is
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: a little different, right, They do roll it out a
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: little later, like, but it's probably on Sunday, the final round.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: It'll probably start at nine am for most most of us.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: There's also a cut, yeah, unless players, so you don't
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: have to cram everybody on as early.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: But I'm not I haven't watched any of it, but
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: I've I hear that, Like the weather.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Is really bad, awesome, That's how I want that. I
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: want that to be so difficult. I want it to
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: be like the US Open, where they rough is like
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: ten feet tall. I want to be cornstalks. And then
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I want this the weather to be so bad. It's
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: like when you're playing Tiger Woods you have an adjust
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the arrow because when seven miles an hours, I want
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: them adjusting their arrows live. Yeah, I want it to
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: be raining. Yeah, I want the weather to just kick
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: them right in the balls.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Roy's first two t shots shank them.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: He was plus seven fifty. He was a favorite to
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: win it. Where is he now? Not sure? And again
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: when you hear this, the day one, maybe day even
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: day two will be over.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: But did you bet?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't?
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Do you bet pre round? Ever?
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Like for these majors, almost never.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: That's the best odds, man, I know, it's like just
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: to throw a dart in the like.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, best odds because there so many.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: But he's under right now.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: So who's leading as of right now?
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Good luck? Okay, good luck?
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Ht Lee and Fitzpatrick can't win it on day one,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: can lose it on day one though?
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Right, So I usually bet it on Saturday.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: Do you kind of look at who's leading on Saturday,
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: and then.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, And I never bet the person leading because usually
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the odds aren't good. But I'll bet somebody like fifth
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: or sixth, seventh, or a no name like eleventh or twelfth.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: That's it because I can get pretty good odds and
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: they have consistently played well the last weekend or they
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be famous and successful. So that's usually what I
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: look at.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Same like, I'll wake up on Sunday, Sunday mornings
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: before the last round starts, and I'll look at the
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: leader board and if like Scheffler's up by like ten,
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: not touching it, you know, like that's that's over. But
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: if you know, like he said, Morgen Schornsten is leading first.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: He felt a little racist toward the muppet chef, right, yeah,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: sweetest chef.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: There's another guy named Smith, you know. Second, I'm going
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: with a big name at like third or fourth. Always
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: let's take a break.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: We'll come back and just a little bit and talk
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: with Stuart Mandel, who is the editor in chief of
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: The Athletic. We're gonna talk college football and nil and
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: we'll get into the weeds with that. Give us a
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: second we'll come back here. Supposedly, drinking Korean pair juice
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: before drinking alcohol results in a twenty percent improvement in
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: hangover symptoms. I don't drink, so I've never had the
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: history of trying to find the hangover cure. What do
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: you find to be the best for a hangover, Eddie?
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: So if you want to be proactive, this is what
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: I've learned through all my ears of drinking. Have one
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: drink of alcohol, one drink of water, one drink of alcohol,
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: one drink of water, and you will get rid of
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: that hangover. You won't even have the hangover. However, if
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: you don't do that, which I get party situations, you're
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: not thinking of getting water the next day. Rob it, headaches,
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: it's hurting, you feel like death in your bed. Manudo
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: man Go to a Mexican restaurant on Sundays and ask
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: for manudal.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: If a random white person walks in, it's never been
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: in the Mexican restaurant by themselves, looking a little torn
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: and tattered, well they know why they're asking from a newdo.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: Of course, they won't even ask, like what you want?
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: I know what you can mean?
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Long night, Long Night, Kevin you're from a different part
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: of the world, Yes, because I feel like.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: Where you're from, dude, California.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Based on like the culture you grew up in here.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's rare.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I mean nobody in I was going to find some
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: menudo if you're in like South Texas, Arizona, Mexico.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I used to give my buddy a bunch of
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: crap Betty for drinking of water in between every single drink.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: So was that.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: We kind of kind of upset to hear you say that.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: But I think you're just getting older and I'll be
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: there in a little bit older. Smarter, I know it is.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: I agree, it is smarter for sure, but we never learned,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: do we. I use Alka Seltzer.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I think Alcoa.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Seltzer's the best. Like when it comes to hangovers, number
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: one is sleep. If you can get sleep, that's the
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: number one thing, and then you wake up Alca Seltzer,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: which they actually have hangover pills. Now, I haven't even
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: tried it yet because they caught on. I think everybody
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: likes it and it does a trick so good. The
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: tablets you drop them in the water.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: We've heard of it.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, just wait you're both looking at me.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: Like, because I've never heard of alka seltzer as a
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: hangover cure.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: From a different part of the world.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Dude, that's what we do about.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: But when you say when you say like sleep though,
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: like do you mean like if you drink all night Friday,
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Saturday's done? Like you're just in bed all day?
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: No, like say you go to sleep at midnight, Like
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: if you can sleep till seven or eight? Money am, Yeah,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Like if you can get seven or eight hours of sleep,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: but if you if I'm running on like four hours
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: of sleep, it's gonna be a rough one.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Why do you think And I had to look it
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: up because I don't know. I've never looked at the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: because I've never needed the science. Why do you think
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: people get hangovers dehydration? Okay, that's that's both of you.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Guys went with that.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Heart because alcohol just sucks all that water out of you,
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: like yep, dries you up.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: So that is a part of it, but not the
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: biggest part.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: My mom always said potassium.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Now I'm not the expert. I literally looked this up,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: so I'm not going I can't believe you guys don't know.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't know, like seriously.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: My mom would be like here, Miko, hear him banana.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: You need potassium because you have a hangover.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: So here is the answer from chat GPT. People get
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: hangovers because alcohol messes with your body and brain in
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: a bunch of ways at once. Here's a breakdown of
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: why you feel so awful. Sleep disruption. Even if you
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: pass out, alcohol messes up your sleep quality. You skip
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: ram sleep, and that leads to brain fog, fatigue, and moodiness.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: So that's that's part of it. And what you're going
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: to see is it's a collection of things. It's a
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: big stew. Okay, no, well, yes, you use a stewdent
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: fi a stew. I guess Ricky Martin. Next up, toxic byproducts.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: As your liver breaks on allcohola produces a chemical called
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: m ace tall to hyde, which is even more toxic
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: than the alcohol itself. Your body eventually clears it, but
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: not before it makes you nauseous, sweat, and feel very bad. Next, dehydration.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Alcohol is diuretic, which means it makes you pee more.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: You lose fluids and electrolytes, which leads to symptoms like
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: dry mouth, headache, and dizziness. Your blood sugar drops. Alcohol
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: messes with your glucose levels. The crash and blood sugar
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: can make you weak, shaky, and angry. Two more, stomach irritation.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Alcohol increases stomach acid and irritates the lining of your stomach,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: which adds to nausea, vomiting, stomach pain. That's where the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: vomiting comes in. And finally, just general inflammation. Alcohol triggers
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: an immune response that can make you feel achy, unfocused,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and just generally sick. A hangover as your body's way
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: of saying, you poison me a little bit and now
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: you're going to pay. But it's because of a whole
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: lot of different things happening body, not one single factor.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: So no potassium level, like mom says, I'm sure.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Not having the appropriate amount of potassium isn't able to
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: fight the toxic biput.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: It's not in your list over there.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't make the list, I'm honest. But yes, so
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: there's a little education, dude.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: What's crazy? When you were reading that list, what stood
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: out was the like the time, the multiple times that
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: you go pee Like it's crazy. How as soon as
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: you start drinking you gotta pee, Like there's like you
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: break that seal right, like you have twenty gallons of
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: water in you.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: If you know you're gonna be in a crowd or
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: somewhere tough to get out to go to the bathroom,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: you don't pound beers.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: And if you're not drinking and you have to pee,
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: you can hold it. Not a big deal. When you're
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: drinking and you have to pee, you cannot hold it.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you just go.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Well, they do say again that Korean pair juice before
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: drinking alcohol. And if you're the guys like pull over
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and you get some Korean pair juice, we get some,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you're probably gonna get made fun of. I'm gonna put
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that out there.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: Where do you get a Korean pe?
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Korea? Obviously? Okay, I've mentioned this a couple of times
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: in different places. But we've been watching a show called
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: The Kingdom. Anybody watching it on Netflix? It is a
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: South Korean zombie show. It's good. It starts off a
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: little slow, but we put English subtitles and we make
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: them speak English. But what's crazy is they actually speak
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: with really thick Korean accents, so they're speaking English. But there,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I would do an impression, but I don't want to
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: get I don't even feel like that's racist because I'm
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: just literally doing an impression. It's risk it's not risky,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and I'm pro human. I'm pro Korean South anyway, and so,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: but they do Korean accents and I thought to myself, well,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: that's weird. They're doing really south. And then I thought
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: to myself, well, I've heard some guy with a Southern
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: accent overdubbing your Korean. Yeah, Marge, watch out for that.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I might think that would be weird. It's good. Episode
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: one's a little slow, but by the time it's only
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: six episodes for two seasons. By the time you get
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: like three in, it's awesome. If you like zombie shows,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I think you'll really like it. If you're into like
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: swords and stuff. Yeah, what was a Tom Cruise movie
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: he did Mike where he was like sword fun Last Samurai?
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: H Yeah, I like you like that kind of fighting
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: and stuff, you'll like it.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: Was that a good movie? Last Summa?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't watch it. Pretty good movie,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: it was, yeah, yeah, No, I don't know, okay, but
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: it's good. Kevin wants to admit he was wrong about
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Love it.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: It's take me a while to get here. I still
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: have not watched one single game since they traded Devers.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: You're not though, no games.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: I have not watched or will you?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: You said no games for you?
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: So I was wrong. I was obviously wrong. They've won
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: ten in a row going into the All Star Break,
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: and ever.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Since Trump was there, they haven't lost. I know, Boston
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Trump socks.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Exactly, exactly, and I've had the biggest fomo, like watching
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: little highlights, walk off home runs, team going crazy, everyone
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: having fun, the crowd's into it. My brother's texting me.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: I'm like, leave me alone. And I have to say
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: I think I was wrong that they made the right
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: move trading Devers. Obviously, the clubhouse and the entire locker
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: room is a better place. Players are playing better, the
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: team's playing better, and all of a sudden, now they're
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs. If it started today, that's freaking awesome.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: So if I met him wrong, can I go back
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: to watch you you can?
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: You can do it?
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, dude, it's your life.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, thanks, guys. You don't know us anything. Yeah,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: I'm just sitting there, you know, I'm like, I want
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: you to do it.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I'm pro human. I want you to do that perfect? Thanks, guys.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: An't that amazing though? That like a team really they
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: know what's right for them instead of the fans that
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: don't know anything about what's going on inside.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Says a cowboy, says a cowboys. Yeah, complains about everything. Yeah,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: you do it like and you know what they should do.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: You know how they should do it. Why didn't they
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: do this?
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Have you seen Dak? He looks ripped and ready to go? Dude,
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: he should be. He looks good, healthy, healthy, He says,
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: he's ready to go. And I mean, I don't know
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: if he's just working out. He looks good. I don't
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: know I can throw the ball, but he looks good.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Are you watching him to the ball?
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: No, No, there's just a picture he posted. Dang, dude,
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: he's been in the gym.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: What do you mean you don't know how he can
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: throw the ball.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: No, I don't know how he's throwing the ball. Oh okay, okay,
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: because I'm not seeing those clips.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: I think you said, like physically, you don't know how
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: he can throw a ball.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: With all those muscles that jack. You know who else
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: looked good working out was Ben Simmons. He'd always posted
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: videos in the lab. Yeah, what do you mean, like
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: this is the year for Ben Simmons all the other years,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Let's forget about him.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: Why are you comparing those two?
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Just that the Internet would lead us to believe, based
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: on the images that we saw that Ben Simmons are
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: really going to turn it around this year.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: Got it?
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Didn't quite happen?
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: Got it?
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. I'll come back and talk to Stuart Mandel.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: We'll talk college football coming up next. All right, now,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: we're going to go over and talk with Stuart Mandel,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: who is the editor in chief for The Athletic. Go
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: to the Athletic dot com do read his articles. Also
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: does a podcast called The Audible. I really enjoy his writing.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: And we're gonna talk about nil and we're going to
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: all the stuff that you may think is boring, we're
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: probably going to talk about here because I do not
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: find it boring at all. You'm a massive college football fan.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: So here he is follow him on Twitter at sl Mandel.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Here he is Stuart Mandel. Hey Stuart, big fan of
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: your work. Really appreciate the time.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: Thanks for having me.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I do want to start with this because I saw
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: you post the article just this morning, and it was
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: basically about collectives and how NIL now is going to
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: be coming through the school, except it's not really an
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: IL what's happening right now because I almost can't keep
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: up with it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: It's very hard to keep up with.
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: But you know, the House settlement got approved last month,
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: and so that allowed the colleges to go through with
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: this plan they had twofold. They can now share revenue
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: directly up to twenty point five million dollars the schools
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: can share with their athletes, but also they've set up
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: this clearinghouse nil GO that has to approve these outside
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: deals and collectives have obviously dominated the NIL space for
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: the last few years. That's where athletes get most, if
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: not all, of their ANIL income. And the Commission came
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: out with a statement saying collectives don't serve a valid
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: business purpose, their deals are not going to get approved.
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: They were already prepared, the collectives are already prepared to
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: have their deals more closely scrutinized for fair market value,
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: but this was kind of a step or two beyond that.
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: They're saying it doesn't matter what the compensation is or
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: even if it's for valid activities, autographs, and they pay
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: the athletes to do autograph signings or go period a
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: golf tournament or whatnot.
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: They don't care.
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: They think collectives are just a front for pay for
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: play and they're not going to approve the deals.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: But aren't they? And I say that as someone who
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: was a part of one, and so I've been involved
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: as someone who donated and worked with a collective and
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: now I do an as all money and deals with
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: athletes to actually do things because I know the new
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: rule is up to like six hundred bucks, etc. Have
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: to be reported up to six hundred bucks. But really,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: weren't collectives exactly what you're saying they are?
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's one of those things where it's
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: it's not even a secret at this point, right, everybody
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: knows that's the intention. And that's why this commission is
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: coming down and saying, you know, these are not valid
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: business Basically, they're saying it's not a valid business attempt
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: if you're paying an athlete to promote your product so
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: that the collective can make money to then give to
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: the next wave of athletes. Right, it's not they don't
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: think that's legitimately for for goods and services for a
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: for profit company.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: But that doesn't mean it's it's gonna fly. The lawyers
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: for the.
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: Playoffs in the House settlement as soon as that memo
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: went out wrote back and said, this is not part
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: of the settlement. You don't get to decide who is
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: or isn't a valid business, and if you don't retract that,
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: we're going to take it back to the judge. So
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: we're waiting to see if anything comes of that.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I guess my final question on this, and I am
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: very interested in it, is that don't you think eventually
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: this just ends with this collective bargaining agreement with the
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: players and the GM and the athletic directors, almost like
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: we see in pro sports, but not quite.
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I think that's what you hear a
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: lot in regards to this salary cap. Right Like in
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: the athletic directors and commissioners' eyes, this is a pro
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: sports model now, where there's a hard cap and you
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: can't go beyond it. But the people on the other
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: side that would say the differences in the NBA and
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: the NFL, they collectively bargained that cap, the athletes agreed
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: to that cap. This was negotiated through a lawsuit settlement
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: that I'm guessing most of the athletes that weren't even
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: aware of, right So, I do think some form of
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: collective bargaining is coming at some point, whether that comes
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: through the courts, Congress, whatever that may be. But right
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: now we're kind of in that limbo state, I think,
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: where they're trying to kind of get away with both.
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: There's a salary cap, but there's no union, there's no
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: collective bargaining.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: So let's just pivot over to college football specifically, where
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: does Nick Saban coach now?
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: I mean, obviously that was the big hot story this
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: week at SEC media Days. I wouldn't necessarily assume that
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: that's going to be the case. I mean, he's going
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: to be seventy four by the time this next coaching
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: carousel comes up, and you know, he's not a fan
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: of nil and transfer portal and whatnot. So does he
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: really want to get back in and deal with that?
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: But certainly if he decides he is, and look, he's
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: his guy's Bill Belichick, who's who's.
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: Basically doing the same move right now.
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: Anybody with a coaching opening would be would obviously want him.
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: And so when you look at the schools that might
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: have a coaching opening this coming year. The one that
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: really stands out to me's Oklahoma if Brent Vnables doesn't
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: have a big year, because that kind of meets all
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: the Nick Saban checklist. It's a powerhouse program that you
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: can win national championships at, it's a huge, rabid fan base,
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: and you're in a state where you're really the only
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: recruiting power. Right Oklahoma State sometimes gets recruits they want,
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: but not very often.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: The rumor was for a while that Nick Saban was
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: going to run whatever body was over the nil or
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: the portal. He was going to be like the King Dingleyam.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: College football has that kind of passed by.
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: Now, you know, it's interesting that was never possible obviously
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: in the traditional model, but they've set up now. They
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: actually have this thing called the College Sports Commission, which
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: would seem to be right for a commissioner, but right
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: now they hired an executive from Major League Baseball to
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: oversee that. And look, Nick Saban's got a pretty cushy gig.
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: Now right you're on game day.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: You get to.
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: Still be part of college football, travel to games without
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: the headaches of having to deal with the actual issues
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: in college sports.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: If we talk about the college football playoffs and we
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: look at last year, Boise State gets a buy and
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: based on the system, that's exactly how it should have been.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Did you like how it was? Or are you for
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: a we're going to rank them as they are and
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: let them fall in as they are.
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think that's where we're headed. I
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: think that that's already been changed.
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: The whole thing about the CFP is that it was
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: devised before the Pac twelve fell apart. So the idea
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: that the four highest ranked conference champs would get the buys.
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: You figured those are going to be pretty highly ranked
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: teams because you'd be doing the four out of the
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: five power conferences. But now that's no longer the case,
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: and so last year it just so happened that bois
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: ended up finishing ahead of you know, the ACC champ, Clemson,
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: which kind of got in at the last second. So
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: they've already changed that. This year it'll be the top
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: four seeds regardless of conference, and I think you can
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: assume those will probably be teams from the Big ten
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: at SEC.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: You think the Pac twelve will ever be a thing again?
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: They are adding new teams, which all Texas State just
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: went in. But do you think that'll be a We'll
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: go back to Power five.
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: That'd be nice.
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: But you know that if you look at the lineup
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: they have coming forward, right, you have Oregon State and
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: Washington State and then you have a bunch of Mountain
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: West schools, and so they're probably closer to the AAC.
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: In fact, they are closer to the AAC than the
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: Power conferences. My hope is that one day saner Heads
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: will prevail, even if it's not in football. Right, football
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: doesn't involve that much travel. But I think the shame
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: of this what happened is these West Coast schools are
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: sending their basketball teams, their volleyball teams there, you name it,
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: teams all the way across the country to play matches,
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: and those aren't the things that are making the money.
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: I'm hoping saner Heads will prevail at some point and
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: you can separate West Coast football from West Coast to
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: all the other sports and get Stanford and Cal and
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: USC and UCLA and the Arizona schools and the Oregon
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: Washington playing each other again like they should.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not unprecedented to have a school play football
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: without a conference like a Notre Dame and then play
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: basketball in a conference. I mean eventually, probably just logistically,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: that would be where it falls. Are they doing anything
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: to actually make that happen yet or are we just
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: talking about it?
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: It's not anything imminent because these TV contracts that the
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: conferences have are all in place for many years at
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: this point, I mean, including the accs, goes well into
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: the twenty thirties, So it seems like the lineups you
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: have now will be the lineups for the next at
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: least five to six years. But I think there'll be
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: another big shakeup the Big Ten contract comes up, I
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: think in five years. Around that time, a couple of
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: the others do as well. So if you're looking at
• 35:10
  Speaker 8: a next big change to the structure of conferences, you
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: would look to that.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: You think Notre Dame joins a conference in football at all?
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: They really have no reason to. The system is set
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: up well for them. Now we'll see what happens with
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: this expanded playoff that they're already talking about. If the
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: Big Ten has their way, most of those berths would
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: become automatic berths for the conferences and then if you're
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: Notre Dame, you have to look hard at that. But
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: as long as you have the current system where there's
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: a lot of at large berths and now by the way,
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: they can host I mean sorry, they can get a bye, right.
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: They couldn't get it before when those were conference champs.
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: There's really nothing they would gain necessarily from joining a conference.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: If you were able to make rules regarding the transfer portal,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: what rules would you implement.
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: I actually, I think the NCAA had a really good
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: rule as of a few years ago, which is everybody
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: gets one exception where they can transfer and play right away.
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: If you want to transfer again after that, you have
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: to sit out a Here. The problem is, and this
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: is the case right with a lot of nca rules
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: now somebody sued in a court struck it down. Now
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: even unlimited transfers, which I don't think are good for anybody.
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: I don't fault a player for wanting to start over
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: at a new opportunity.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: That's their decision, that's their life.
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: But the idea that every player in the country is
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: a free agent every single season and doesn't there's nothing,
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: you know, really to discourage them from doing so, is bad.
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: For the schools. It's bad.
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: I think for the athletes who it's really hard to
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: develop in your career if you're playing for a new
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: coach and a new system every single year.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: You mentioned Bret Ventables at Oklahoma. You didn't say the
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: words hot seat, but they're looking for them to succeed.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: I have family, they're massive Oklahoma fans, so I'm close
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: to that situation a bit. Who else are these high
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: profile coaches that need to win and now, you.
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: Know, I think there's several in the SEC. Start with
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: hu Freeze. Auburn fans are notoriously not patient, and he's
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: had a rough couple of years, and some people think
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: they'll be a lot better this year. Some people see
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: it and go, you know, the quarterback that they got,
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: is he really that much better than the guy they
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: had before?
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: So him, you.
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: Know, billiy Napier won some people back at the end
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: of last year at Florida. But if they were to
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: start out bad again this year like they did last year,
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: you would I think you would start to hear that again.
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: And then you've got coaches who theoretically would be on
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: the hot seat, except they have these enormous buyouts Brian Kelly,
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: Lincoln Riley in particular, coaches that if they don't perform
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: this well, perform well this year, the fans aren't.
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: Going to want him back.
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: But is the school willing to pay fifty sixty even
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: seventy something million dollars to buy them out?
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: That's something a collective could do, right, Just buy out coaches.
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: Use the money on them instead.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I would say, Like, if you're so
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: passionate about you buy all the coaches.
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: A and M set the precedent right right. Oil was
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: great at the time. They were able to pay seventy
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: five million to buy out Jimbo Fisher. I mean, the
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: crazy thing is that they agreed to these contracts in
• 38:10
  Speaker 8: the first place. When UFC hired Lincoln Riley, they gave
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: him a ten year contract and it's never been fully
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: made public it's private school, but believed to be eleven
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: million dollars a year fully guaranteed. There was absolutely no
• 38:23
  Speaker 8: way to get out of this if he didn't do well.
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: I think they just assumed he would because he'd done
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: so well at Oklahoma and now they might be stuck
• 38:31
  Speaker 8: with him.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Do you think a bit because we saw this with
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson in Cleveland where they gave him all that money,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: guaranteed money, and that really changed where owners now are going,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: we're not doing that because we just saw one really
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: bad example of it, because he gets hurt, he has
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: all the trouble, he seems like a bad dude. So
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: they're not doing that at all. And now there's the
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: drama like where they conspiring behind the scenes to not
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: give anybody guaranteed contracts. Do you feel like these college coaches,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: what's happened to Texas A and M, what's happening now
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: at USC where they really can't get out of it.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Do you think these situations not being positive will affect
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: future contracts with coaches?
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: Well, on the one hand, you know, all these schools
• 39:09
  Speaker 8: are facing a challenge. There's an extra twenty point five
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: million dollar budget item now to pay the players. You
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: got to cut back somewhere, so it would make sense. Okay,
• 39:18
  Speaker 8: we're gonna stop throwing money at these coaches. And yet
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: as soon as a school you know, has a coach
• 39:25
  Speaker 8: they really want to get, they go and do they
• 39:26
  Speaker 8: do it anyway? I mean, bread Venables is a good example.
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: They gave him a big extension after his second season
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: when he really hadn't done much yet, and so he
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: went and had a bad third season. I still think
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: if it came to it, they would cut him loose
• 39:41
  Speaker 8: this year. But these schools that give It's one thing
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: if you're trying to steal a coach away from another
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: school and you have to make it worth his while.
• 39:48
  Speaker 8: But what we see time and again is schools just
• 39:52
  Speaker 8: going ahead and giving him a big race.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: Mike Norvell.
• 39:54
  Speaker 8: After that great season two years ago, Floria State got
• 39:57
  Speaker 8: a new contract ten million dollars a year.
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: They go out and they go two and ten. Last year.
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: They regret that big contract.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 40:05
  Speaker 8: So to your question, I mean, we'll see. We've yet
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: to see that trend change yet. Maybe it does now
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: because of the new variable with the revenue sharing.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: What do you think the expectation is for Bill Belichick?
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a great question. Is the expectation different now
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: than it was when he was hired? Because when he
• 40:26
  Speaker 8: was hired, certainly a lot of proponents of the hire think, hey,
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: he's going to come in, he's going to flash his
• 40:32
  Speaker 8: Super Bowl rings.
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: Recruits are going to come running. They'll be very good.
• 40:36
  Speaker 8: The way the offseason has gone the Jordan Hudson storyline.
• 40:39
  Speaker 8: I think of people A lot of people now are thinking,
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: was this really good idea? I think if they just
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: go to a Bowl game the first year and people
• 40:46
  Speaker 8: realize it takes a little time to turn around a program,
• 40:49
  Speaker 8: So the first year you kind of get some you
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: get a free pass, unless you go three and nine
• 40:53
  Speaker 8: and then everybody's going to say, what a disaster this is.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: You feel a little bit though, like people will have
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: less patience because you can turn a programmer on so fast,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: because you can't actually just write checks.
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: Well, I think you know, when I started covering the sport,
• 41:06
  Speaker 8: it was you need four years to turn it around.
• 41:08
  Speaker 8: Then it became three, and then it became two. I
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: don't think we're seeing the pressure yet to do it.
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: And I mean Deon Sanders is a great example. Right
• 41:16
  Speaker 8: first year was not great. People are saying, you know,
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: this is a disaster. Then they had a really good
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: season last year. But I do think that's the limit.
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: Nobody wants two bad seasons in a row now because
• 41:27
  Speaker 8: of exactly what you said.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: You can.
• 41:30
  Speaker 8: You can turn over your whole roster now through the portal,
• 41:33
  Speaker 8: and so you don't need three or four high school
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: classes to come in. You can turn it around really quickly.
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: First years are tough.
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: For many reasons.
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: You get a late start on recruiting, and it's just
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: you know, you're completely changing the culture.
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: Are the players going to buy in?
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: So? You know?
• 41:49
  Speaker 8: I think people still are at least reasonable enough to
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: realize it's going to take more than one year, but
• 41:55
  Speaker 8: not more than two years.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Final question for you. I was looking through the quarterbacks
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: and Drew Aller, Penn State or nuss Meyer or DJ
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Lagway or Kate Klubnick who looked really good against Texas
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: until they end up losing that game. Like he went
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: down to Austin and played really well. Is an Austin
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: kid too? Like, there are a lot of really good quarterbacks. Who,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: in your mind is your favorite for the Heisman? Way
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: too early?
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: Obviously everybody's gonna say arch Manning. The problem for arch
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: Manning is the expectations are so high that I feel
• 42:24
  Speaker 8: like if he just has a good season but not
• 42:26
  Speaker 8: an amazing season, people might turn on him. I do
• 42:29
  Speaker 8: like Kate clubness chances and here's why. I mean, first
• 42:32
  Speaker 8: of all, he's really good. I think it's snuck up
• 42:34
  Speaker 8: on people last year toward the end of the season.
• 42:36
  Speaker 8: How much better he got. Clemson is to me the
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: class of the ACC. Maybe Miami's close, Probably not. If
• 42:46
  Speaker 8: they can beat LSU in that first game, he kind
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: of bolts to the front of the list, and then
• 42:51
  Speaker 8: I think stays there at least stays in the mix
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: most of the season. Obviously, Texas is preseason number one,
• 42:58
  Speaker 8: but again because expectations for arch Manning or so much
• 43:01
  Speaker 8: higher than they are for Kate club Nick. I mean,
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: let's say they lose to Ohio State the first week
• 43:04
  Speaker 8: and everybody can say he's overrated.
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: It was just his last name, you know.
• 43:08
  Speaker 8: I think that's what he's That's the biggest hurdle for
• 43:11
  Speaker 8: him in terms of Heisman contention.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Stuart is the editor in chief for The Athletic and
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: also check us podcast out with Bruce Feldman called The
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Audible wherever you get your podcasts. A big fan of
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: your work was reading your article this morning. Thank you,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you for taking some time and talking with us.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Really hope you have a great day.
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: Thanks Stuart, Thanks for having me.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: All Right, that's going to wrap it up for us today.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you guys for being here. I will say that.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: I went and I got my tooth fixed, and then
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: I was flossing and it broke off again.
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: Oh my good lady. Do you get your money back
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: for that?
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: No, I'll just get another tooth put on.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: How hard do you floss?
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: That's what my wife said. She's like, what are you doing?
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: You're going at it in there. I do use floss
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: or to use the picks both, and I floss probably
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: like five times a day. So because I do that,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: I think I've probably warned my teeth down. Not only that.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: When I first started making any sort of money where
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I could save, I bought teeth. That was my first thing.
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: I was like, a hobby.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: What are you bude teeth for a hobby?
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Likenmillion? You know, like I what's weird is when you
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: get teeth, they shave all your other teeth down, Like
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: that's how veneers work. They shave all your real teeth down.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: And my teeth were messed up and they shave them
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: down and then they put the veneers over the top
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: of them. And so but I did that, and I
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: remember this is like ten years ago. The dentist was like, hey,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: and like ten years you're gonna have to get these replaced,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: like these are not forever, they're about they're worth about
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: ten years. They don't know what to say to people
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: to get boo jobs like these aren't forever, like you
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: have to get them fixed. And I remember thinking, well,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: ten years will never come. Who cares about ten years?
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I just neglected to do it. And so I think
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: part of it is my NonStop flossing, and part of
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: it is the teeth are getting a little older, and
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: some of them I've had replaces, I've cracked them. But
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: like this is as you can see, it's gone, but
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: it's really affected my feathers in my so all day long,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: I've like struggled because you make sounds. Everybody knows this,
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: but you don't think about it until it's actually affecting
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: you where your tongue hits the top of your mouth
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: and your teeth.
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: But my sounded great today.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: There were times where I was just I could feel it,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: and I probably feel a little more. It's like when
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: you have like a little cut in your mouth or something.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: It's the fucking duck.
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: Atsh who were the who? The team? Baseball team in.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Chicago's offer and thuck of that the coggle cul.
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: None of the other one.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: The other one the Gogga white thun. So my Didnis
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: went on vacation though I know. I texted him he's awesome,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, I'm a tooth, sorry about that.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I probably fast a little too early. I think he
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: actually said don't do it for a day or so.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: You know me, I'm just didn't letting it rip there.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: So I text him. I was like, hey, it doesn't hurt,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: but I dude talks a little funny and so we'll
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: get a fixed next week. But so if I've sounded
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: a little weird or a little thing by the way
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: I said thucker and thuck of thatsh not a bad word. No,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: there are people that will highlight sounds. This single sounds
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: from me doing years and years of shows and podcasts,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: and they'll take it. Be like you said the for
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: it here, you said you don't cuss. First of all,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with cursing. So even if
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: I did, I'm okay with it. But I didn't because
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: You really don't.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't, even in the private privacy of
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: our own home like anything, are doing it. I don't
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: even in the privacy.
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: Of our own home together.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the dark room, but I don't. I don't not
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: curse for you. I not curse for me. So if
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: I do decide to curse, who cares? I'm only not
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: doing it for me. I think cursing is hilarious if
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: you use the right way. I just had to stop
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: cursing seven years or so ago because I didn't want
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: to write cursing. I wanted to write cursive but not
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: cursing difference. So, speaking of writing, I wrote a bunch
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: of jokes. I'm doing the opera tomorrow night. It's just
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: risky to go into a bunch of jokes and you've
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: never done them before, all at once, and with the
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: crowd that isn't there to see you, because when people
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: go to the opry, they go to the opery to
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: see whomever shows up. It's not that they're there to
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: see somebody else specifically. Some of them are, some of
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: them aren't. Some are just there to see the brand.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: And so I walk out on stage and I'm you know,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: I have all these new jokes.
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: Oh no, you're taking some Gillis's jokes.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I have all these jokes like I wrote
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: a whole part of a set on being like doos
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: and dollerant.
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: Okay as relatable.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because let me read you. Let me read you
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: a couple of these things. I don't care. I don't care.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not touring, so I don't care if I even
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: run a joke. But one of the jokes is if
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: I really, if I say it exactly as, it's not
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: gonna play. So I talk about like being allergic to
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: dairy and being from the South is like being a cowboy.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: I talk about it, I'm allergic to dairy, and then
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: I say, I need like my notes because I haven't
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: even practiced these and I'm gonna go up there to
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: do it tomorrow. How I'm lactose and tolerant. Being allergic
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: to cheese and being from the South, it's like being
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: a cowboy allergic to his horse. Like yeah, it's that
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: kind of vibe. And it was like I used to
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: take great pride in not being allergic to anything. Now
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: he just slice of pizza. My body shuts down like
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: it's filing for bankruptcy. So I do I wrote all
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: these jokes, right. I used to say no allergies like
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: it was a personality trade. Now I'm the one asking
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: if there's hidden gee's like it's a lactose ghost haunting
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: my enchiladas. So it's a lot of that type stuff.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: But I never I just can't do a bunch of it.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: I can only like pick one my best hope and
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: then pray it works, because if it doesn't, I got
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: to pivot out of all of it because I don't
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: feel as confident in the rest of them, and I
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: can't go You can't miss two or three in a row.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: Do you go in with a backup plan if you
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: have the pivot.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Or my backup plan is to go to jokes I
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: know work and so if it doesn't work, because inevitably
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: when you do new jokes, some of them don't. Some
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: of them won't work. But it's not because the jokes
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: are about always. Sometimes it is. Mostly it's because you
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: didn't like pause at the right time. There's some wreplay,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: maybe you stumbled or the crowd. It really is that.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: But I did one where I was talking about fantasy
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: Football's why I bring this up because my wife will
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: have her friends over and they will plan a night
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: where they talk with intention, like a purpose, like they
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: just are going to connec act like she'll have a
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: friend come over and they'll sit in a living in
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: for like two hours and talk about, you know, how
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: you're really doing. But if we do that, that's weird.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: And so we have ways to do it. And I've talked
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: about this on the show, like I can't call up
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Eddie be like hey man, Thursday, seven pm, want to
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: come over and feel some stuff, and then how good
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: that's a good one. Okay, good, thanks, And I'm like,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: so instead we have to like sneak in emotions like
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: through a side door and we'll be like talking about
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: fantasy football and'll be like, hey man, I'll trade your
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey for Saquon Barkley. And also, my dad never
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: told me he was proud.
• 49:32
  Speaker 9: Of me, so yes, right, it's true, And like I've
• 49:38
  Speaker 9: talked about that for a long time and even in
• 49:40
  Speaker 9: that way, but I've never written a joke about it.
• 49:42
  Speaker 9: But what's tricky about that is I'll be and I
• 49:46
  Speaker 9: would love to try to the operator because I'm not touring.
• 49:48
  Speaker 9: But if they don't laugh at that, I think it's
• 49:50
  Speaker 9: just because it's not a fantasy football group, because that's
• 49:52
  Speaker 9: a sports thing. If I'm like, I'll trade your Travis
• 49:54
  Speaker 9: Kelsey and Saquon Barkley also your dad ever hug you.
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: You know, I think.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: If they don't get the kels in Saquon of it, yeah,
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna even appreciate the joke, and not even
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: that it's the greatest joke ever written. And the reason
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about this is the Shane Gilli stuff like
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: that's like super inspiring to see him go up and
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: people be mad at him and keep going. But also
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: I'm playing the operat this week, and so yeah that
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: I wrote. Any I can't do a whole new set
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: up there because I won't because I'll go up and
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: it'll just be a nightmare. I'll be forgetting stuff jokes
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: will miss. But I'm probably gonna throw in a couple
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: of new ones like that. You think I should the
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: fantsy football one or they won't get it.
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: I like the Fantasy football one.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: I think there'll be plenty of guys in there that
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: I'll understand that.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a joke that I probably won't do
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: because I don't think it will be received well. Or
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: I talk about how lactose intolerance, like I deserve a
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: handycap sticker. And then I go, you know what, because
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: I talk about it being covered by the eightya, but
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: I don't even I think that's too inside it. That's
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: the America's disabilityetah. I said, Okay, but if I don't
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: get a handy gap sticker, maybe I should just get
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: preferred parking at pizza places.
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying, and you know the crowd there.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: But all of that, all of this stuff, because I
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: have this, these are all the jokes I've written, right, Wow,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: all of that jokes. I would have to go out
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: for like three months and do all them seventeen times
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: in order to feel what is exactly right?
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: What's your time slot?
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Do they tell you everybody has twelve minutes?
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Like everybody has twelve minutes a long time. But I
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: do have my guitar as well. And what I've done
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: in the past is I just take it up there
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: and I've played the before and never even played it.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Like I walked up with it. That's awesome, and I
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: just everything was working so right, and I never went
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: to the guitar because the jokes were just crushing, and
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: I think people were like, why didn't he have his
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: guitar on. He never went to it.
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: I ever sang a song.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: It is it is.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: You like like you should like strum act.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: You're going back to the problem is I'm trying to
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: remember jokes man, Like I'm doing all that I did
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: at the very and be like, oh, yeah, I had
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: this car. I guess I never played and then, but
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: that wasn't the joke. I had to get tar in
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: case you should do that with the other interments, like
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: you just woke out with a tuba. Like I'm just
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: holding a trombone the whole time and I never even
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: get to it.
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: That's pretty funny.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: I wanted I'll wrap on this, but I wanted to
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: do this segment I say want it. I never actually
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: tried to do it because of the dedication it would take.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: And I think I mentioned it in a couple of
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: interviews with artists where I wanted to go up and
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: be a part of the band and not have my
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: instrument plugged in. But like, let's say they gave me
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: a trump Like I went up with a trombone and
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: I got in Zach Brown's band. I never said I
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: was in it. Heck, I can wear a mustache or whatever,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: and we just recorded from the crowd, me just faking
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: the trombone like crazy. Not so much as stealing the show,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: not so much, but just just being in the band,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: faking it and like feeling it right, just feeling it
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: even for a song, like I think that would be
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: so funny.
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: But you gotta find the right artist to let you
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: do that.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: I have a few friends that would let me do it.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but I don't want to the money to go.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I'll give you. I don't want to pay the money
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: to fly and that that three minute bit, it's gonna
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: cost like eight hundred.
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: Dollars a day. That's funny though.
• 53:07
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: So there was another now I'm just doing this, but
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: there was another bit to our till Dady I said, hey, man,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: we should do we should go and open for an
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: artist and not say it's us, not with guitars and
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: like sing acapella, nobody knows it's us. We try so
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: hard to sing the biggest song, like we go when
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: we try to eddell songs, we're trying as hard as
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: we can, never mind, and and they're like, we are
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: literally trying.
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: Like trying our best.

  Speaker 1: Houston adele, even with the backing track. But we can
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: play like karaoke track and we only have like twelve minutes.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: But we go out and just try as hard as
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: we can. We don't shy away from it. We attack
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: it and then we're like, thank you, get and just
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: see what we have Cameras on the crowd the whole time.
• 53:47

  Speaker 3: seeing how long it can last.
• 53:51

• 53:53
  Speaker 1: But yes, but that's perfect.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: But that's a great way because nobody's ever well I'm
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: not nobody has ever done that, but something like that
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: I would shallow.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, And I say it again, we're not trying to
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: be bad. We're actually trying as good as we can.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: But we're also really trying. Because you can hide from it,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: sha la la la, and you can be like, oh,
• 54:15
