[00:27] Mostly Sports.

Speaker 5:
[00:35] Welcome to Mostly Sports, I'm Mark Titus, Brandon Walker, out. In his place. Your eyes do not deceive you folks. It is the one and only Kyle Bauer. What's going on? Gabs, by the way, filling in for TJ. Is the music off a little bit? Did you notice that? Or is it just my headphones? Do I need to fix my headphones? I think it was the headphones. It was my headphones? That's probably a new problem. It is Thursday, April 23rd. We are live from Chicago. Basically, by the way, everybody's out. Ivo is here. Connor, which we're going to talk about. Connor is in Vegas. TJ is out. Cody is out. Brandon is out. Blutman is here. But Connor Griffin is in Las Vegas. And I want to start with, if that's okay with you, maybe it is customary on the show for me to ask the person sitting in that chair what they want to talk about. But Connor Griffin has taken over this show as he wants to do.

Speaker 6:
[01:33] He's got us all perplexed, I think. First off, did you catch up on everything from last night? I did it. But I saw some good clips.

Speaker 5:
[01:44] I woke up this morning. I've seen one clip. He was playing basketball with a woman, Catherine. And this is one of my problems I have with the Spring Break show, if we call it a show, is that I can't watch all the clips. You miss the context. And all of a sudden, there's just, it's just Brady. You're just like, this is Brady. And I'm like, who the fuck is Brady? And then this happened with Catherine, where I woke up, I saw, I had a clip sent to me. Connor is shooting, playing basketball with Catherine. And I was like, is anybody going to explain who Catherine is?

Speaker 6:
[02:15] Wait, I'm waking up at 6 a.m. in a cold sweat. Who the fuck is Catherine?

Speaker 5:
[02:18] Who the fuck is Catherine? Where did Catherine come from? Blubber, do you know who Catherine is?

Speaker 7:
[02:23] I don't. I was up late watching Puck as I do. And I like keeping up with this. I like seeing what my coworkers are doing in this show. If you call it a show. I went to bed, Connor Griffin had just arrived. I wake up, Connor Griffin, first thing on my feed, Connor Griffin has got Catherine's number.

Speaker 1:
[02:44] Who is, who's Catherine?

Speaker 6:
[02:45] That was, why is Catherine there? So it turns out Catherine is from Chicago. So Connor Griffin flew to Vegas to play basketball with a girl from Chicago. Something he could have done right here.

Speaker 5:
[03:00] Isn't the Brady guy from Chicago?

Speaker 6:
[03:02] He is too.

Speaker 7:
[03:03] Brady, Annika kept, this was, I was talking to Jack Geer about this. Annika's insults of Brady were so like Disney influence. He'd be like, you're small town South Dakota. So he's a South Dakota kid.

Speaker 5:
[03:16] So he, okay.

Speaker 8:
[03:17] Like Tucker Cratton falls.

Speaker 7:
[03:19] Well, Timberlake, Wisconsin for Tucker, but he's a Sioux Falls football alum.

Speaker 5:
[03:25] But does he live in Chicago now? Someone told me he lived in Chicago. I thought. That would change the game.

Speaker 7:
[03:30] His Twitter bio says Cole City.

Speaker 5:
[03:32] Okay, so he does live in, oh, Illinois?

Speaker 8:
[03:36] Yeah, it sounded like he flew in to go on a date with Annika. Is that not?

Speaker 5:
[03:39] I don't know. I don't really care about that part. I care about Connor Griffin or Sweet Boy, made it to Vegas. There's a lot to unpack already. What we can get to the Rochelle Ryan stuff, which doesn't seem to be happening yet, right?

Speaker 7:
[03:54] I was under the impression she was picking them up from there.

Speaker 5:
[03:57] Right. There's that.

Speaker 6:
[03:58] There's really expecting an elaborate scheme to unravel in our faces quickly though.

Speaker 5:
[04:04] Yes. So I thought by now we would see something with Rochelle Ryan. Who the fuck is Catherine? That's point number two. And point number three is what you just said, KP, a scheme with Connor Griffin. And that's what I want to figure this out because Ivo, I know you and Bloodman both were in lockstep with me that yesterday, Connor Griffin's journey to Las Vegas, we were all sniffing kissy on it. Yes. So we were all trying to figure out what the fuck this guy has planned. Um, he, he, he leaves. First of all, he's sitting right where you're sitting, uh, Bloodman yesterday. He says he's got a flight. He's like, I got to get to a flight. He had to leave the show early. It was like urgent that he leaves. Is everything good, Stefan?

Speaker 6:
[04:46] OK.

Speaker 5:
[04:50] We good?

Speaker 6:
[04:52] Stefan, if we're not good, though, I would rather not tell me now.

Speaker 5:
[04:55] So then I can stop.

Speaker 7:
[04:56] Yeah, we're talking about Connor Griffin.

Speaker 5:
[05:00] Are we good? So he's sitting where you're sitting, Bloodman. And about 20 minutes into the show, he's like, I need to go. I have to go get my flight, catch my flight. And he gets up to leave, but he doesn't get up in a hurry. He kind of meanders out of here, takes his sweet time. It's somehow urgent, but at the same time, he's not urgent whatsoever. Come to find out his flight isn't until like 130, and he was leaving at like 1020.

Speaker 7:
[05:28] He said he needed to take a dump.

Speaker 5:
[05:30] Oh, is that what it was?

Speaker 7:
[05:31] He said he needed to take a dump.

Speaker 5:
[05:34] He gets to the airport, tweets out that he's had a baggage snafu. I think snafu was the word he used. Am I remembering this wrong?

Speaker 8:
[05:42] Yes.

Speaker 5:
[05:43] I also called him.

Speaker 8:
[05:45] I called him because it had been reported somewhere that he had missed his flight. I said, how is that possible? He left at 10.30 for a one o'clock flight.

Speaker 5:
[05:54] And Connor Griffin is not a guy to miss a flight like this. Connor Griffin, especially knowing he's under a microscope, knowing the spotlight is on him, knowing that Dave has gotten involved and Dave is tweeting about him going to Vegas and stuff. It would not be like Connor to just be blase about like, oh, I got a flight here in a couple of hours.

Speaker 6:
[06:11] He would be extraordinarily neurotic. He'd release a statement, I'm guessing.

Speaker 5:
[06:14] Right, right.

Speaker 6:
[06:16] We're still expecting something.

Speaker 5:
[06:19] We're still expecting something because he says he has a baggage snafu. That's why he missed the first flight, which again, you wouldn't call it a snafu. You would just say, I got here late, I missed my flight. You would say, I tried to check the bag and they would, like he would explain, he would do a press conference. He would set up his phone. Are we good, Stefan?

Speaker 6:
[06:40] Okay. Yeah, just take it with some.

Speaker 5:
[06:47] Do we want to stop the show? But you understand.

Speaker 6:
[06:51] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[06:56] I kind of do want to stop the show.

Speaker 6:
[06:58] I kind of do.

Speaker 5:
[06:59] I do want to stop and watch Stefan.

Speaker 8:
[07:01] Should we do a visual only show? Should we do some sign language?

Speaker 5:
[07:05] Yeah, can they hear us? Yes. Can they see us? What are you working on?

Speaker 4:
[07:11] It could sound better.

Speaker 5:
[07:13] It could sound better.

Speaker 6:
[07:14] That's what I was worried about. My personal podcast has been just an audio disaster. Yeah. To a point where I don't know what to do. It's at least every other podcast can't hear somebody.

Speaker 5:
[07:31] Stefan's on it.

Speaker 6:
[07:32] I'm not blaming you.

Speaker 5:
[07:33] We'll be good.

Speaker 6:
[07:34] It's just the state of the audio industry.

Speaker 5:
[07:37] Stefan, to be straight, do you have a strategy with what you're doing right now?

Speaker 4:
[07:40] I do.

Speaker 5:
[07:41] Or are you just kind of?

Speaker 4:
[07:42] Brother, holy.

Speaker 6:
[07:45] All right. So I think we're good.

Speaker 5:
[07:49] You kind of look like when my car's having problems and I pull over and I pop the hood because my wife's with me and I want to make it look like I know what I'm looking at. That's how Stefan's handling this right now.

Speaker 6:
[07:59] I think he's like my doctor and he just saw a very, very malignant tumor.

Speaker 4:
[08:05] What?

Speaker 5:
[08:09] I would like to have Connor on the show at some point. No, no, no.

Speaker 8:
[08:14] We could also just call him.

Speaker 5:
[08:15] We could just want to FaceTime him?

Speaker 7:
[08:17] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[08:18] We could just call him.

Speaker 5:
[08:19] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[08:19] All right.

Speaker 5:
[08:19] We might have to just FaceTime Connor.

Speaker 7:
[08:21] Can we put him on that TV, like AirDrop?

Speaker 5:
[08:24] Yeah. Can we AirDrop a FaceTime? Can you AirDrop a FaceTime?

Speaker 7:
[08:28] Surely, right?

Speaker 5:
[08:29] Do we have that technology to AirDrop a FaceTime?

Speaker 6:
[08:32] AirDrop? Yeah, we have to.

Speaker 5:
[08:34] Can we AirDrop, could Evo FaceTime Connor and AirDrop it onto this TV?

Speaker 4:
[08:40] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[08:40] Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[08:41] Yeah. You're quite good.

Speaker 7:
[08:42] All right.

Speaker 4:
[08:42] I don't know how good it was.

Speaker 5:
[08:43] Stefan, you're doing great.

Speaker 7:
[08:44] That was a devilish smile, though.

Speaker 5:
[08:46] You're doing great, Stefan. Oh, no. Oh, no. Not Sam. Tech doctor or tech guy. Oh, my God. Oh, no.

Speaker 6:
[08:52] Second doctor, bedside manor.

Speaker 5:
[08:54] Second tech guy is at the studio. Oh, my God.

Speaker 7:
[09:03] No, this is really entertaining.

Speaker 5:
[09:05] I mean, it's like, Stefan's got his asshole pointed right at me. He's like, just do the show, just do the show. He's bent it over too.

Speaker 6:
[09:13] Half of my leg is off. I can't walk, Stefan. My organs are spilling out. I'm not good to fight.

Speaker 5:
[09:25] He's just kind of, all right, Stefan's got one wire. He's going to kind of jostle that. Plug it back in. There we go. That should be good.

Speaker 7:
[09:36] Audio listeners are having a tough time visualizing what's going on. Let's make sure they know Stefan's doing a phenomenal job.

Speaker 5:
[09:46] Stefan's doing great. Stefan's doing a really, really good job. Anyway, we'll try to power through, I guess. All right.

Speaker 7:
[09:52] Connor Griffin, baggage snafu.

Speaker 5:
[09:55] Yeah. I just felt like it's within Connor's character. What I know about Connor is that if this in fact happened, and he was booked on this flight to go to Vegas, and all eyeballs are on him, and he misses his flight, he would have done more than just fire off one or two tweets. It's like, I don't know. Something happened. Whoops. Something happened.

Speaker 8:
[10:14] Five-minute video.

Speaker 5:
[10:15] Yes, at the very least. So, yeah, I was wind-horsed a little bit yesterday, and I was like, why is that? Why would he do that? I haven't quite connected the dots, though. So I still think there's something coming.

Speaker 6:
[10:28] All eyes on him. I think he's like the Chris Angel of ironic sex tourism. I think he's going to deliver. The Jonathan Swift, the satirical sex tourism to Las Vegas.

Speaker 5:
[10:51] He's technically sex trafficking himself. I think he's partaking in sex trafficking.

Speaker 6:
[10:58] On one side, it's sex trafficking.

Speaker 5:
[11:00] Sex trafficking, Marie.

Speaker 6:
[11:01] I think the devil on one side of his brain is forcing the sweet innocent boy to go.

Speaker 5:
[11:10] Anyway, yesterday, after the YAC, I was talking with you, Blutman, and you, Evo. We were trying to figure out what's actually going on. Connor's at the airport, but is he even flying to Vegas? Because then he calls Caitlin Walker, and he tells Caitlin Walker, I missed my flight. And then I asked Caitlin about that. And I was like, so did you book him another one? And Caitlin goes, no, he didn't ask me to book him another one. He said he figured it out. And I'm like, well, this is obvious that he got to the airport, went up to the, I think he flew United, went up to the desk and said, I want to not go to Vegas. I want to go somewhere else, change my flight for me. And then pretended like he missed the flight and then was going somewhere else. That was my theory. But then he ended up in Vegas last night. So then I was like, all right, I must have been wrong. But then, Ebo, as you pointed out, his bags, he's got like, he's got very little.

Speaker 8:
[12:00] He's got a middle school gym bag and a backpack.

Speaker 5:
[12:02] Right. Which shouldn't have been a baggage snafu, if that's all he was doing.

Speaker 8:
[12:07] The only scenario I can imagine, Mark, is he is, and love Connor Griffin to death. He's one of my favorite people. Not the most adult person in the room. So I don't think he has any airline number or status. So I think he's grouped like 15.

Speaker 5:
[12:21] Okay. Far down.

Speaker 8:
[12:25] Yeah, you don't get a personal item. Or you get a personal item, no carry on. So I think he walked up with two bags and they were like, you can't have your two bags unless you can fit that bag in that bag. You can't come on this flight and we have to check it. But you're the last group, so we can't check.

Speaker 5:
[12:39] Couldn't we just do that at a gate check? Couldn't that just be a gate check, Ebo? Couldn't it just be like, give me your bag. I'll throw it. You know, I'll throw it in the plane right now. I don't know. Anyway, he shows up to Vegas. So maybe my theory of him like going somewhere else, because I was like, what is because just last week, I don't know if you saw this, KB. He went to Binghamton, New York.

Speaker 6:
[12:59] And that's the type of stunts that he pulls out of nowhere.

Speaker 5:
[13:02] Didn't tell anybody, just shows up, throws out a first pitch at a college baseball game. Sam, Stefan figured out, you're the man, Stefan.

Speaker 8:
[13:08] He didn't appreciate that I showed him appreciation. He thought maybe it was sarcastic, which it was not.

Speaker 6:
[13:16] We weren't.

Speaker 5:
[13:17] Yeah, these are the types of stunts he pulls. So my alarm bells are going off like he's not even going to Vegas. He's going somewhere else. He's going to do a big reveal where he's like, ta-da, you guys thought I was going to Vegas. I was actually going to Gnome, Alaska to something like that, you know, to race sled dogs.

Speaker 6:
[13:35] To LA. Something really goofy. But you know his psyche more than I do. Is there a chance he just has this burning desire to be a standard, respected reality socialite who just wants to be one of the boys in the mix? He wants to flirt. He wants to show off his like, he's got a new look. He looks great.

Speaker 5:
[13:54] Yeah. Grew out the hair a little bit. Letting the chain hang.

Speaker 8:
[14:00] It is good for like most of the people who are getting like newly introduced to you to see you as your like, long hair chained, eyebrowed man, as opposed to before where he had no chain, no eyebrows and no hair.

Speaker 5:
[14:11] I do think, I do think in Connor's mind, this is the perfect role for him is, is he's like the sixth guy in a reality show. He's like a fringe guy in a reality show.

Speaker 6:
[14:22] Yeah, the lovable.

Speaker 5:
[14:23] He just wants to like hang, be one of the boys, but he also wants to turn it into content in some way, but not like too crazy, not scandalous content, just like fun, quirky, you know, that's what I think he might be going for. I don't know.

Speaker 6:
[14:37] Perfect way to put it. So what did we miss? I know he.

Speaker 5:
[14:40] Yeah, so he gets to Vegas and then I woke up this morning and all I saw was that he's playing basketball with Catherine and everybody is under the, everyone else seems to know who Catherine is. Does anyone in this room know who Catherine is?

Speaker 8:
[14:51] Prior to her appearing on Spring Break House, I've never seen her.

Speaker 5:
[14:55] How did she get there? Why is she there?

Speaker 7:
[14:57] Dante invited her to which Cadek said, that's a bad idea and Nicky Smoke said, Nicky Smoke said he pulled the name Catherine out of nowhere, couldn't believe he was right that it was actually Catherine. He guessed her name, got it right, knows her as well.

Speaker 6:
[15:18] Wait, so it sounds like Catherine is well known amongst the Barstool circle.

Speaker 5:
[15:24] Smoke said, I'm gonna pretend to guess her name, but really I know her?

Speaker 7:
[15:28] Potentially, yes.

Speaker 5:
[15:30] Okay, so Smoke's thought like it would be, Smoke's thought he could get away with like, let me guess your name real quick. Is it Catherine? And then he got it right and he was like, holy shit, I'm so smart.

Speaker 7:
[15:40] I guess so, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[15:41] And he didn't think that anyone would be like, oh, you just know her. What a magic trick. What a hell of a magic trick. Can we get Connor on the show? What's the best way to go about this?

Speaker 8:
[15:57] He went to sleep very late last night on the couch, so he's probably awake there.

Speaker 5:
[16:01] I just FaceTime him?

Speaker 7:
[16:01] Yeah, Nick at night was on TV.

Speaker 5:
[16:04] But how can, let me FaceTime him. We can't Zoom, Stefan? Can we Zoom Connor? Can we send Connor a Zoom link?

Speaker 4:
[16:15] Via your phone, yes.

Speaker 5:
[16:17] Okay. What does that mean? That I should just FaceTime him?

Speaker 4:
[16:22] Yes, probably. Okay. Because the audio that we usually send to Zoom is what we are sending to the show now. So if we do it from here, he won't hear anything.

Speaker 5:
[16:31] Does that make sense?

Speaker 4:
[16:31] Okay. Yeah, sure.

Speaker 5:
[16:33] I'll FaceTime Connor. I'm going to FaceTime Connor. I'm going to FaceTime Connor. Connor, Connor, Connor. What do I have him on my phone as?

Speaker 6:
[16:43] Oh.

Speaker 5:
[16:45] Oh, really? Okay.

Speaker 6:
[16:46] All right.

Speaker 5:
[16:47] I think this is him.

Speaker 6:
[16:48] Hopefully he's up.

Speaker 7:
[16:57] Is he not watching?

Speaker 5:
[16:58] No, he's not watching. We're never gonna see him again. All right, he's up to something. Is he just sleeping?

Speaker 6:
[17:11] A guy like him, there's no way he's not writing the blueprint, right?

Speaker 5:
[17:17] I don't like what I'm... That's not like him to not answer. What's going on, Evo? You're the one in the relationship with him.

Speaker 8:
[17:27] Yeah, this is bad. Because we had a talk that this was all for pretend. If this is not for pretend, that's bad.

Speaker 5:
[17:37] I don't know. I want to... I know that Connor is popping off in Vegas. I know the people want us to talk about Connor and cover it all. We're at an impasse. I have questions. None of us can answer them. The only man that can answer them is Connor Griffin, and he won't answer his phone. I don't know who else to... Should we try Tate?

Speaker 7:
[17:54] We had so many working theories.

Speaker 6:
[17:57] Tate is always a good idea.

Speaker 7:
[17:58] That was one of them. So I had noticed Tate hadn't tweeted in about five hours, abnormal when he's on the scene doing his reporting thing. Connor hadn't landed yet. I expected Tate to be at the airport picking him up with Rochelle. Not the case.

Speaker 5:
[18:15] Tate, you're on Mostly Sports Live, by the way. Are you guys staying in the same suite? Where's Connor? What's going on with Connor?

Speaker 2:
[18:25] Everyone that's on the show is either in the boys' suite or the girls' suite, and then all the producers are in their own room. So I'm not sleeping in that room, but I can go up there.

Speaker 5:
[18:34] Go check on Connor for us. I just FaceTimed him and he wouldn't answer. I have no idea what's going on with him. All right.

Speaker 2:
[18:40] All right, bye.

Speaker 5:
[18:40] See ya. All right. There's that. Here he is. I've waited a recommended 12 hours of tweet hoping to get my shadow band removed and the information back. Like Tate being shadow band right as Connor, it gets.

Speaker 7:
[18:54] It's just I know what you got shot.

Speaker 5:
[18:56] This stinks the high hell to high hell.

Speaker 7:
[18:59] You got shadow band because he kept saying breaking news.

Speaker 6:
[19:03] Oh, you abuse that.

Speaker 8:
[19:04] Yeah. Well, that's all Dom Lecrae breaker of narratives fault in the Colin rugs of the world.

Speaker 6:
[19:12] They overuse.

Speaker 8:
[19:13] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[19:13] Overuse breaking news.

Speaker 8:
[19:14] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[19:15] And they'll do like breaking developing news timeline where there legitimately is breaking news every two hours.

Speaker 5:
[19:21] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[19:22] But these guys abuse it in a way where they just would put like AI war videos. It is a plane getting shot down.

Speaker 5:
[19:28] Oh, it is a little redundant to say breaking on a tweet. Like isn't every tweet kind of at the point of Twitter? Is it like all of them are breaking everything every break? Like breaking. I'm eating a bagel. You know, like, right. It's all happening now.

Speaker 6:
[19:42] That's why we're. We didn't think it would have been said before.

Speaker 5:

Speaker 8:
[20:32] I think I got one I like.

Speaker 5:
[20:33] All right. So what are we doing? We each doing one?

Speaker 8:
[20:36] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[20:37] Let's go around the room.

Speaker 7:
[20:38] We always do that.

Speaker 8:
[20:39] I'd like to start. Do you want to scroll down to the next game? I'd like to take James Harden.

Speaker 5:
[20:43] The four of us have never put an NBA.

Speaker 8:
[20:46] No, never.

Speaker 5:
[20:46] Ever. So this is history.

Speaker 8:
[20:47] I'd like to take James Harden's 21 plus points.

Speaker 5:
[20:49] James Harden, 21 plus. All right. Let me see. Just keep scrolling, maybe. I'm going to see something that comes out to me.

Speaker 8:
[20:58] Oh, is Mike playing tonight?

Speaker 5:
[21:00] Yeah. Oh, yeah. Can we get Mike Conley, please?

Speaker 6:
[21:08] All right.

Speaker 8:
[21:08] He'd back up in the Nuggets, Cimberwolves. All right.

Speaker 6:
[21:12] Can you give me someone who's young, hungry, and good under pressure?

Speaker 8:
[21:20] I got one for you, KB. Dean Wade, two plus points.

Speaker 5:
[21:25] Oh, there you go.

Speaker 6:
[21:27] Dean Wade.

Speaker 5:
[21:27] Dean Wade.

Speaker 6:
[21:28] I like the name.

Speaker 8:
[21:30] He plays for the Cavaliers.

Speaker 5:
[21:31] Is Mike not on the list? Got to think he's not on the list. Damn.

Speaker 7:
[21:35] Hey, give me Nikola Jokic, 60 plus points, rebounds, assists.

Speaker 5:
[21:43] Okay. 60 plus.

Speaker 7:
[21:45] Yeah. This is the best player in the world, right? That's what they say.

Speaker 5:
[21:48] Okay. You can't even go that high.

Speaker 8:
[21:52] Those are points. You have to go up to the other tab up there. Points, rebounds, plus assists.

Speaker 7:
[21:58] They call him the joker, right?

Speaker 5:
[22:00] They do.

Speaker 7:
[22:02] So, why not?

Speaker 5:
[22:06] All right. Is Bronny James available for points?

Speaker 8:
[22:13] I think they play tomorrow, Mark, unfortunately.

Speaker 5:
[22:15] They do?

Speaker 8:
[22:16] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[22:16] Well, we could take a future, right?

Speaker 5:
[22:21] Let me see here. No, right there. That's tomorrow. Damn it. Let me see. Let's go. I like the lower level. All you need is like three or four points. So fine. Can we scroll down to the?

Speaker 6:
[22:32] I like that as well.

Speaker 8:
[22:33] Dean Wade's points prop is five.

Speaker 6:
[22:35] Let me look up Dean Wade.

Speaker 5:
[22:38] Keon, Dean Wade being five. I like that. Yeah, I'll do. I don't know, man. Give me, go back down. Sorry. I think I have it. I'm locked. Go down. Next game. Nuggets, Timberwolves. I'll figure it out here. Give me Bruce Brown. Six plus, six plus points.

Speaker 9:
[23:01] KB, who did you say?

Speaker 6:
[23:02] Look at Dean. Where's Dean Wade playing?

Speaker 8:
[23:05] He plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Speaker 6:
[23:08] Where will the game be?

Speaker 8:
[23:10] I believe in Toronto.

Speaker 5:
[23:11] That would be in Toronto.

Speaker 6:
[23:12] I'm poor Dean Wade. I'm looking at his Wikipedia. Born and raised in Kansas, then had to do college in Kansas, then gets drafted to Cleveland. He's never had a good time. I think he's going to be hungry in Toronto. He's going to experience overwhelming positive stimuli. I think, yeah, Dean Wade. And what's the prop?

Speaker 8:
[23:36] Five plus points.

Speaker 6:
[23:37] Five?

Speaker 5:
[23:41] There we go. Did you do one? Who did you do, Ibo?

Speaker 8:
[23:44] I took James Harden.

Speaker 5:
[23:45] That's right. You did Harden right out of the gate. All right. There it is.

Speaker 8:
[23:49] Plus 920.

Speaker 5:
[23:50] There's our parlay. Tate just texted us. Connor is asleep on the couch.

Speaker 7:
[23:56] Still.

Speaker 5:
[23:58] What do we do? We wake him up, right?

Speaker 7:
[23:59] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[24:00] He's got to be up in an hour to do the show anyway.

Speaker 7:
[24:02] Up and down.

Speaker 5:
[24:03] Yeah, we wake him up.

Speaker 7:
[24:05] So you mentioned sex trafficking about 10, 15 minutes ago. We had theorized yesterday about going to Los Angeles. That's where his flight would be. That's where we believed Rochelle to be. What is LA known so much for? Traffic.

Speaker 5:
[24:25] Traffic, yeah.

Speaker 7:
[24:28] We had mentioned Rochelle would be picking him up from the airport.

Speaker 5:
[24:31] Uh-huh. Good segue.

Speaker 7:
[24:35] You said Connor would be going, is basically doing a form of sex trafficking.

Speaker 5:
[24:39] Yes, he's sex trafficking himself.

Speaker 7:
[24:41] So there's a theory.

Speaker 5:
[24:42] Could be.

Speaker 7:
[24:43] Connor, Rochelle, sex traffic in LA.

Speaker 6:
[24:46] A stag sex trafficking.

Speaker 5:
[24:48] I have instructed Tate to wake up Connor and have Connor FaceTime me back. So that's where we'll leave it for now. Maybe on the road. We'll wait for Connor to call in. I've done what I can. Yeah, it is what it is.

Speaker 7:
[25:00] But we have to put him on there.

Speaker 5:
[25:02] We'll put him up here. I agree. I just, you're going to have to do it on my phone. I'm too stupid to figure all that out.

Speaker 7:
[25:10] Evo's our tech guy.

Speaker 5:
[25:11] OK. NFL draft tonight. So there's that. The draft, Blutman, you're probably the couch boys, the guys on the couch are more plugged in probably than Kyle and I are. What's going on with the Jets at 2? Because it does feel like a flip-flop back and forth. They can't figure it out. Nobody seems to understand who they're going to take it to. Is that the first mode? Mendoza is going 1. That's understood. We know Mendoza is going to the Raiders. The draft starts at pick 2. Is that fair to say?

Speaker 7:
[25:48] The draft starts at pick 2 unless something unforeseen happens with Fernando Mendoza. We can't count that out, right? Laramie Tunsell had the gas mask.

Speaker 5:
[25:58] Yeah. Mendoza will not be there tonight. He's going to stay back at home, right?

Speaker 7:
[26:02] Yes, which is potentially a smart move.

Speaker 5:
[26:05] But unless he gets around his boys and his boys are like, try these drugs, Fernando. What better time than now to try these drugs and then a picture comes out.

Speaker 7:
[26:13] We've seen it happen in the NFL plenty of times before. The NFL does not mess with marijuana. Think about Josh Gordon. If Fernando Mendoza was seen smoking a J just two hours before the NFL draft, you can't sign him to Las Vegas. There's much more dangerous drugs there.

Speaker 5:
[26:32] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[26:33] I don't know if it's a cold hard lock, Fernando goes one.

Speaker 5:
[26:38] What's your ideal personality of a quarterback? You're a quarterback guy, KB. And I'm sure you're aware of Fernando Mendoza. He's like a goober, is what people are saying, but also extremely talented at the position.

Speaker 6:
[26:51] Extremely talented, driven. I'm all about confidence on the field. I don't care about off the field. I want you to be a little bit lame. I want you to be a little bit smart, but not too much of either. Okay. I think coolness is important. I think social tact is important. I think kind of like a lack of fear. I want someone who has failed miserably in the past and bounced back. Has Fernando done that?

Speaker 7:
[27:33] Once. He got clocked by the Miami Hurricanes.

Speaker 6:
[27:38] But in a game that he won.

Speaker 5:
[27:40] Well, he did it in the Big Ten Championship too. The first play, Ohio State decapitated him, and then he bounced back.

Speaker 7:
[27:47] I was circling back the Miami one for full circle. Cal, Miami gets absolutely destroyed. The hit that he delivered on that big touchdown run against Miami in National Championship put the guy in the dirt that hit him the year prior. So that was a full circle moment.

Speaker 5:
[28:03] Okay. Yeah, that counts. Sorry, Titus said he counters up. He's going to call me soon.

Speaker 7:
[28:10] Okay. I've been trying to figure out who goes to. I've been working the phones endlessly the last 20 hours, doing my last second draft prep, the latest I've ever prepped for a draft. I think it's going to be David Bailey at two. I'm not calling that a mistake. I'm calling it a risk not taking Arvel.

Speaker 5:
[28:31] Yeah. Arvel Reese is the freak, but they don't know what position to play him. They don't know. There's not a lot of history with him in the sense that he came out of nowhere quickly. His ascension happened fast, Blutman. Are we worried about that? No, we're not. He's 6'4, has long arms, can play seemingly any position defensively.

Speaker 7:
[28:56] You're describing, and what we're saying is a weaker draft. What you are describing seems like a no-brainer. Let me bet on all the oozing traits possible type guy. Why would I not do that? Why would I not? We're the New York football jets. What positive light has there been lately? There hasn't been. If I want to take the absolute freak, I do that, and I trust coaching staff to put them in the best positions possible. If I'm Aaron Glenn, I'm already on the hot seat after a year. I want the freakiest freak in my locker room possible.

Speaker 5:
[29:33] Well, not the freakiest freak. You want the freakiest freak.

Speaker 6:
[29:35] You want a casually ruthless and charming menace. That's what everyone is striving to be, whether they say it or admit it or not. You want somebody who, name a quarterback who isn't charming, an elite quarterback. Whether it's-

Speaker 7:
[29:50] Well, Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 6:
[29:53] But he has an it factor.

Speaker 7:
[29:55] Yes.

Speaker 6:
[29:56] He's so confidently himself like he is intimidating. There's the menace. He's ruthless.

Speaker 7:
[30:05] Who isn't charming, elite quarterback.

Speaker 5:
[30:07] Elite quarterback. Is, I mean, Sam Darnold?

Speaker 7:
[30:16] He came to mind.

Speaker 5:
[30:17] Is that it?

Speaker 8:
[30:20] Are, do people become great quarterbacks because they are charming, or do you grow into your charmingness?

Speaker 5:
[30:26] You find the people charming who are great at football.

Speaker 7:
[30:28] Michael Vick.

Speaker 8:
[30:29] Yeah, and also you find, I think like in life as you find success, you become like you say more confident in yourself. And therefore, it compounds and makes you more charismatic.

Speaker 5:
[30:38] Could be, yeah. I'm fascinated by the draft and that the talk of like Jeremiah Love, the talk of Caleb Downs, a little bit with Arvel Reese of guys who you identify as like, those are unbelievable football players, but I can't take them. I don't want to draft them this high. Like Jeremiah Love might go technically could go three to the Cardinals, but a lot of people, you don't want to take a running back that high. You got to take them like ninth. You know, that's just like insane to me. That just feels very stupid.

Speaker 7:
[31:12] I disagree with you there.

Speaker 5:
[31:14] Okay.

Speaker 7:
[31:14] I just look at what happened with Ashton Gentry and the Raiders. This was an incredible running back prospect, and he never got churn and burn at all because they're offensive line.

Speaker 5:
[31:23] Well, his career is not over.

Speaker 7:
[31:25] I know, but I'm not caled down as I agree with you. I think it's-

Speaker 5:
[31:31] I'm not talking about- I'm talking about the idea of all- It's a brawl. It's not a specific Jeremiah Love thing. It's all-

Speaker 7:
[31:39] So this is why I'm saying-

Speaker 5:
[31:40] All prospects.

Speaker 7:
[31:40] Running back, I disagree with you about. I'm not taking a running back in the top 10. I just don't agree with it from numerous standpoints. Safety, I think, is so far overblown, and people are trying to make this like, safety's the running back in defense. Safety's really not that valuable. You don't want to take safety. I watch NFL football. I watch safety's make game-changing plays, whether it's by picking someone off, making the big hay over in the middle, instilling fear in the quarterback and wide receivers, eyes and limbs on a playly basis. Safety's are so valuable to the sport.

Speaker 5:
[32:17] On a playly basis.

Speaker 6:
[32:18] I think it works.

Speaker 5:
[32:19] Playly?

Speaker 6:
[32:19] What else would you say?

Speaker 7:
[32:20] Play by play, playly, whatever it be. Jalen Petrie never got enough love for what he did at Baylor with his ability to read the quarterback's eyes, and be a menace with the ballhawking, and he could hit too, and he's killing it with the Texans. I think he went pick 51. He was a no-brainer first-round talent, and he showed that. I just don't agree. Kale Down should be the first, second, or third player taken, and he might go 10, and that's ludicrous.

Speaker 5:
[32:48] But that's kind of what I'm getting at, Blum, is people talk about these guys, and they're like, I mean, he's a game-breaker. He's an unbelievable player. That's why I have him mocked 15th in my draft. And I'm like, well, why is he not? Yeah, he's so good, you should take him on. Same with Arvo Reese, it's the same sort of thing. We're like, well, he is a freak, and we love everything about him.

Speaker 7:
[33:07] It's different with running back, where running back, you could be this God-given, incredible talent, da, da, da. There are five guys, five big hog mollies of men that you need to rely on to set you up to success before you could even.

Speaker 5:
[33:25] You got to have the hog mollies first. So they should draft hog mollies.

Speaker 7:
[33:29] If you don't have a fortified offensive line, you've pretty much wasted your third overall pick. If the Arizona Cardinals take Jeremiah Love at third overall, where are they in two, three years? I would argue they're once again picking right back at the top.

Speaker 5:
[33:48] Why not take Jeremiah Love now, and then next year, since you know you're going to suck, then take the hog molly? What about flip it? Why take the hog molly first, and then Jeremiah Love is not going to be in the next draft? He's in this draft. So take him now.

Speaker 7:
[34:02] Can't argue.

Speaker 5:
[34:03] Understand that we're going to suck because we don't have the hog mollies, but guess what happens when you suck? You get a really good pick next year, and you get a hog molly then.

Speaker 7:
[34:11] I can't argue with that. I hope there's no broken leg or something from getting swarmed in the backfield.

Speaker 5:
[34:19] I hope that too. I hope that as well. We're bearing the lead on the real story of the draft, which is that Mike Vrabel will not be there for day three of the draft.

Speaker 6:
[34:28] So day one and two, he's good.

Speaker 5:
[34:30] Yeah. Well, he has to address like the, Mike Vrabel announces he's skipping day three to undergo counseling. This is an effort to, I assume, patch up his marriage. He looked in the mirror, he said, what kind of man am I? I'm the kind of man that puts family and my wife, my kids first. I've made a mistake, and to make amends, I will only go to the first two days of the draft, and then day three, which frankly, I didn't want to go to anyway.

Speaker 6:
[34:58] I'm going to go ahead and sacrifice day three of the draft for my family.

Speaker 5:
[35:02] Babe, I love you so much. I'm going to miss day three.

Speaker 8:
[35:06] He's going to counseling on a Saturday, by the way. Is that normal?

Speaker 6:
[35:10] Yes. Saturday counseling.

Speaker 5:
[35:12] Saturday counseling.

Speaker 8:
[35:13] Yeah. I would assume a counselor is usually taking their weekends off.

Speaker 5:
[35:17] Yeah. What a hilarious headline. The statement put out in the spin zone of like, I need to, here's the say, as I said the other day, I promised my family, this organization, this team that I was going to give them the best version of me that I possibly give them in order to do so. I've committed to seeking counseling starting this weekend. Babe, listen, I need to be a better husband. I need to be a better father. So I will do that starting, starting Saturday.

Speaker 8:
[35:46] I will say, I mean, credit to him, he's giving up one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight picks, eight of their 11 picks. He's not going to be there for us.

Speaker 7:
[35:58] They should trade all eight of those.

Speaker 5:
[36:00] Connor.

Speaker 8:
[36:02] How are we doing?

Speaker 5:
[36:03] Hey, Connor. How do we want to do this, Blutman? I don't know how to do that.

Speaker 7:
[36:09] I don't know how to put it on TV either.

Speaker 5:
[36:11] Hey, Connor, we have technical difficulties. Hang on. Which TV is this? There are a thousand TVs popping up.

Speaker 7:
[36:18] I don't know.

Speaker 5:
[36:19] Connor, how do I put you on the show?

Speaker 10:
[36:23] Are you wearing a Jordan Love?

Speaker 5:
[36:24] No, dude, I'm wearing a Packers number 10 that's blank. It's not Jordan Love. What would make you think it's Jordan Love? Okay, Airplay, which one is that? Office TV?

Speaker 10:
[36:34] I could call into Gab. I could get a Zoom link from Gab.

Speaker 5:
[36:39] We can't Zoom, dude. We can't Zoom. Office TV. Would it be 1443? Okay. Okay. Does that work? Connected to device?

Speaker 8:
[36:55] I don't think you're going to be able to play.

Speaker 5:
[36:56] Yeah, I don't know. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. Yeah, it doesn't work. This is a disaster. This is a fucking disaster.

Speaker 7:
[37:04] Sorry, Vish, we'll listen.

Speaker 5:
[37:05] This is a disaster. All right, we're just going to have to talk to him. We're just going to have to talk to him.

Speaker 6:
[37:08] Yeah, Connor, you got to stay on. I can only analyze NFL players so long. Connor, putting together furniture with Mandarin instructions, trying to talk about what I want in a quarterback. Mad living adjectives. Save me from NFL analysis, please.

Speaker 5:
[37:27] Connor, what the hell is going on? Who is Catherine, first of all? Explain to me who Catherine is.

Speaker 6:
[37:34] There we go.

Speaker 10:
[37:35] Catherine was a friend of Dante's. I just met late, late last night at the hotel. But no, Las Vegas is an unbelievable city. Okay, that is truly one of the coolest things I've ever experienced.

Speaker 7:
[37:53] Thanks, Connor.

Speaker 5:
[37:54] You've been there for 12 hours.

Speaker 10:
[37:57] Less than that, Mark. I'd say probably eight hours maybe, but it might be the best eight hours I've ever had in my life. Really?

Speaker 5:
[38:08] You've never been to Vegas?

Speaker 10:
[38:09] I think never been to Vegas. No, that's part of the reason I'm out here. But it was a bit of an interesting time once I first got out here. We used to have a whole DJ set, and then we were going out afterwards. Ella Griff was just feeding me shots, and then the night kind of got away from me there. But I think I'm waking up at a good spot, and I don't know exactly what will happen today.

Speaker 5:
[38:34] Okay, so Catherine is just Dante's friend from Chicago. So you, as KB pointed out, you flew to Vegas to meet a girl from Chicago that probably lives a couple blocks. Yeah, okay, sweet.

Speaker 10:
[38:45] I did not fly out to Vegas to meet a girl from Chicago, but it's my happenstance that she was there.

Speaker 5:
[38:51] Okay, so let's get to why you did fly out to Vegas, which is Rochelle Ryan. What's going on there?

Speaker 10:
[38:57] Just text yesterday about my schedule, about what exactly is going on, when we can make it work. Nothing solidified just yet.

Speaker 5:
[39:08] Okay.

Speaker 10:
[39:08] Solidified.

Speaker 7:
[39:09] That's kind of crazy.

Speaker 5:
[39:11] That is crazy. You've known for a little bit that you're going out there, and she's known you're going out there. Why have you not solidified anything? What's the hang up?

Speaker 10:
[39:21] She's a busy person. She's got a career. She does what she does. So, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[39:26] She's working.

Speaker 10:
[39:28] She's working, so I think that's the main hold up. Also, I don't know exactly how I fit into this crew out here. I don't know if they have plans today on crazy stuff to do. So, yeah. I'm just trying to stay as flexible as possible.

Speaker 5:
[39:45] What happened with the airport?

Speaker 10:
[39:47] The airport, very, very boring story. It was not like a work or anything like that. It was not like I was trying to do anything to make it spicy or anything. I just, I talked to Ivo about it. I couldn't get an Uber after I left the office. I had an Uber cancel on me, had another guy who took like 10 minutes to get there.

Speaker 5:
[40:07] Ivo, hold on. Time out, time out, time out. Ivo was shaking his head.

Speaker 8:
[40:10] Liam was sitting with me too. By the way, there was no mention of Uber difficulty at all.

Speaker 7:
[40:15] No mention.

Speaker 8:
[40:15] It was just they lost some like-

Speaker 10:
[40:19] I was in an airport, Chili's with my phone about to die. I wasn't in the mood to really gossip and chat. But there was an Uber cancellation. I finally got one, took like an hour at least to get to the airport. Then there was a whole thing with my bags where they couldn't find my bag and the register and then I had to go through multiple-

Speaker 5:
[40:38] You see what I'm saying, Kate? This is all bullshit.

Speaker 9:
[40:41] This is, but this is, this is-

Speaker 6:
[40:42] Oddly blase.

Speaker 5:
[40:43] I've never, of all the travel stories I've heard in my life, I've never heard anything. They couldn't find your bag and the register?

Speaker 10:
[40:51] By the time I got finally all like settled and they could check my bag, it was too close to my boarding time. They said, you're not gonna make it. But then sure enough, as soon as I went through security, I had plenty of time to spare before, you know, the flight was done boarding.

Speaker 5:
[41:05] And your reaction to missing your flight was just, yeah, whatever, I'll just get on the next one. That's not you.

Speaker 10:
[41:11] I'm probably just chilling at the airport.

Speaker 7:
[41:12] Five and a half hour wait.

Speaker 10:
[41:14] I was there for like seven hours yesterday.

Speaker 5:
[41:16] Alright, so now I'm more convinced. I'm more convinced of these, as you guys know, I'm cooking. Alright, so you're just not gonna give us anything. You're just giving us nothing. That was the true story. So Catherine is just a great, like you take her to the fucking Palm Suite to get shots up, you banged her. I saw the clip, you banged her.

Speaker 10:
[41:35] We were here. By the way, this suite is insane.

Speaker 5:
[41:38] You love it.

Speaker 1:
[41:39] What are you doing?

Speaker 5:
[41:41] Alright, alright, you're deflecting like a. What is going on with you, dude?

Speaker 10:
[41:46] She was here, and the basketball hoop is two seconds away, and we just started shooting hoops. There is nothing wrong with that. You would do the same.

Speaker 5:
[41:55] What the fuck is going on?

Speaker 8:
[41:59] Can you ask if there's any truth to the report that once the cameras turned off, he started introducing her to beef?

Speaker 5:
[42:06] Oh yeah, you teach her balance eyes, elbow follow-through? Were you teaching her how to shoot?

Speaker 10:
[42:12] I did not.

Speaker 8:
[42:12] The source told me you were mansplaining beef.

Speaker 9:
[42:14] All right.

Speaker 10:
[42:15] Just strictly game.

Speaker 7:
[42:16] So what are your plans today?

Speaker 5:
[42:18] What are your plans today, Blutman asked?

Speaker 10:
[42:20] No plans. I just woke up.

Speaker 7:
[42:22] You want to go to my child at home?

Speaker 10:
[42:25] I'd love that. Text me the address.

Speaker 5:
[42:27] All right. All right, Connor, you're giving us nothing.

Speaker 6:
[42:30] Connor, how did you perform last night as like an on-camera socialite?

Speaker 10:
[42:36] I love seeing KB in the host chair, dude.

Speaker 6:
[42:39] Yeah, I miss you.

Speaker 10:
[42:40] I miss you, too. I think fine. I mean, I showed up completely sober and everybody had been drinking for nine hours. So it took me a second to get adjusted to it. But then afterwards, yeah, I think it was fine. I don't know. I don't know exactly how to grade my performance. We were just out at a bar and like dancing.

Speaker 6:
[43:00] Was that your goal? Kind of just to blend in and be like a fun guy or were you?

Speaker 10:
[43:05] Yeah, last night. Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[43:06] You don't want to make a splash on this trip, like content wise?

Speaker 10:
[43:10] I don't know what my content lane is. I think I'm on a different plot line.

Speaker 5:
[43:16] Pornstar asked you to come out there. What are you talking about? You don't know your content lane.

Speaker 6:
[43:20] It's yeah.

Speaker 10:
[43:21] I'm saying I think I'm on a different plot line than everybody else.

Speaker 5:
[43:24] But Connor, we know that you're on a different plot line, which is why I want to know where you're at with that plot line.

Speaker 10:
[43:30] Which is why, yeah, I think today will be the day we see where that goes. In terms of how I blend in with the whole crew as we're out drinking at the bars, I don't know exactly how I did.

Speaker 6:
[43:42] The Rochelle Ryan storyline is the ultimate goal. Yesterday was more of just a warm up, a scrimmage.

Speaker 10:
[43:47] Yesterday was just me getting there. That was the basics. Then I finally got here and some stuff ensued, but it wasn't anything crazy, I don't think.

Speaker 7:
[43:59] I have two questions for Conn. One, are you mad you missed the abs in the show, and two, are you on the recap show today?

Speaker 10:
[44:11] I think I'm on that show. I'm here. I hope I could be a part of it. I don't know exactly what I would have to recap. Then yeah, I saw that afterwards, the absence show was sweet. The clips that were coming out for it, I would have loved to have been there. Also, Blutman, I would have loved to have been fully locked in for the Flyers, beating the Penns 5-2. I saw the first period.

Speaker 5:
[44:32] All right. Connor, go. Connor, goodbye. Goodbye. You're giving us nothing. Goodbye. He's something that's going on.

Speaker 6:
[44:44] I don't know.

Speaker 5:
[44:45] What was it?

Speaker 8:
[44:49] Mark, I think the fact that he is willing to go to the lengths of the earth to do anything and he's not right now is breaking our brains and it's fucking pissing me off.

Speaker 5:
[44:57] It's pissing me off so badly.

Speaker 8:
[44:59] He will not tell. He once lied to me and said he couldn't go get drinks because he had like family in town and instead went to Brownsburg, Indiana for a high school football game, got your mom's cookies, came back, made a whole video about it just to like get a gotcha over you.

Speaker 5:
[45:13] That's exactly what this smells like.

Speaker 8:
[45:15] And right now he's just like typing very vaguely, like the language he's using about like finally on a plane. It sticks to high heaven, it's a scheme. If it's not a scheme, it's pissing me off.

Speaker 5:
[45:25] And you know what? I'm more convinced it's a scheme and what I'm gonna do out of respect to Connor is I'm gonna stand back. I'm gonna let him.

Speaker 6:
[45:30] Respect to him if it is a scheme.

Speaker 5:
[45:32] It's a scheme, he's got something cooking, he's gonna have a big reveal.

Speaker 6:
[45:34] He's kinda working us.

Speaker 5:
[45:35] But that was ridiculous. It has to be a scheme. If it's not a scheme at this point, I'm pissed off. Cause that was, he was just like talking about the flyers and oh, KB, good to see you in the host show. What the fu-

Speaker 7:
[45:48] So much the fly thing. It's turning me off of the Connor Griffin story line here and I don't wanna have to dive into the situation ship story line. I want the Connor Griffin story line. He needs to step up.

Speaker 8:
[46:04] It is a bit of a choose your own adventure book cause there are, there's like the main plot line, which is like, I guess, Annika and Nikki Smoke are the center of that universe with the situation ship. And then there's like the subplot of Kadek and Ella and Dante just kind of party in, rip in, and now there's a new Connor Griffin story line potentially.

Speaker 7:
[46:22] Goldfinger's tried to leave 15 times.

Speaker 5:
[46:26] Yeah, and then he just won't let him.

Speaker 7:
[46:28] He's been trying to actively leave.

Speaker 6:
[46:31] I've been told he's been pretending to want to leave, to be in the good graces of his bosses.

Speaker 5:
[46:45] Interesting.

Speaker 6:
[46:45] Not a bad strategy.

Speaker 5:
[46:46] All right, well, I got a pallet cleanser from Connor because I got great news. Get ready for heart-pounding action at the Jack Links where drivers battle it out at nearly 200 miles an hour.

Speaker 8:
[47:31] I was going to ask, is that one that you've made it?

Speaker 5:
[47:32] It's a bugger list. Talladega I've not been to. I've been to a lot of racetracks around this great country. Talladega is probably number one on my list of tracks I've not been to that I need to get to.

Speaker 8:
[47:41] That's like the number one party track, right? Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[47:45] Eric Church wrote a song about it.

Speaker 8:
[47:46] Talladega.

Speaker 5:
[47:47] You'll never guess the title of the song.

Speaker 8:
[47:49] Springsteen?

Speaker 6:
[47:50] But Alabama, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[47:54] Yeah. All right, so there's the Connor nonsense, I guess. Kind of pissed off at the boy, but what can he do? The New York Yankees have alternate uniforms now?

Speaker 8:
[48:07] Yeah. I believe they're essentially their spring training uniforms that they wear, which are a Navy jersey with the New York across them. People are pissed because it steps on tradition. The New York Yankees are this institution that cannot be taken down in sports. They're the pinstripes and some people are angry.

Speaker 5:
[48:26] That's all they wear. I actually didn't realize that until this announcement was made that they're going with an alternate. Then that was news to me that the Yankees have just never done this. I know they're a very tradition-rich franchise, but I just assumed that every so often, they've peppered in an alternate. They have not. For a thousand years, the Yankees have worn pinstripes at home and grays on the road. This will be the first time that they deviate from that? Yeah. Look how sick those are.

Speaker 6:
[48:56] Okay.

Speaker 5:
[48:57] Look how fucking sick those are, man. Because they're usually gray with blue letters, but now they're blue with gray letters.

Speaker 6:
[49:06] So, yeah, deviation. Okay.

Speaker 8:
[49:09] I don't know if I got ball sack, but Aaron Judge did point out, he's like, I'm all for tradition, but we do already have an advertiser patch on the jersey. So, I mean, we're not far off from them putting names on the back.

Speaker 5:
[49:22] Yeah. They do it in the jersey. They had no names on the back, no alternate jerseys, no facial hair, no long hair.

Speaker 8:
[49:32] Facial hair is allowed now.

Speaker 5:
[49:34] Facial hair, they've eased back on. They now have the alternate jerseys, so I guess that's next. It would be names on the back.

Speaker 8:
[49:40] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[49:41] What about unretiring numbers? The Yankees have 1,000 numbers retired.

Speaker 8:
[49:47] It's like 1 through 10 is retired.

Speaker 5:
[49:49] Do you think that will ever happen? I think it will have to at some point. It will run out of numbers.

Speaker 8:
[49:53] Didn't they invent numbers on the back of the jerseys? And it was to indicate where they were in the batting order.

Speaker 5:
[49:59] That's right. Yeah. That's pretty cool.

Speaker 7:
[50:01] I don't agree with the fact that you'll run out of numbers. You just have to add digits. We are not accustomed and bogged down to having to wear double digits or single digits. If you run out of 99 numbers, then we're getting to the 103s. Someone's going to wear 276, etc., etc. That's how it has to be. You can't un-retire a number. It's not fair to that person and their family. Matt Leinert was very correct when he scoffed at USC for even suggesting the fact.

Speaker 5:
[50:39] I actually agree with that, that un-retiring. I think if a player has been dead for a really long time, but even then, what's the point of retiring if you're going to un-retire?

Speaker 8:
[50:53] A thousand years from now, we're still playing Major League Baseball.

Speaker 5:
[50:56] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[50:57] Number three is still retired for the Yankees?

Speaker 7:
[50:59] Yeah, it should be.

Speaker 5:
[51:01] But I just think-

Speaker 8:
[51:01] Or are we going to reach a point where we're like-

Speaker 5:
[51:02] So that means every player is going to have triple digits at that point. We're going to run out of numbers. We are going to run out of numbers if we keep it double digits.

Speaker 7:
[51:09] So at one point, we didn't have numbers. At one point, we got numbers. At some point-

Speaker 5:
[51:12] Okay. So that's a thousand years. Ten thousand years.

Speaker 7:
[51:16] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[51:16] Now, we're out of triple digits. What do we do then?

Speaker 7:
[51:18] Fractions.

Speaker 5:
[51:19] We do fractions. Okay. Twenty thousand years from now, we're out of fractions.

Speaker 7:
[51:23] Decimals.

Speaker 5:
[51:25] But that's just fractions.

Speaker 7:
[51:26] Cubed.

Speaker 5:
[51:28] Exponents. We're doing exponents.

Speaker 7:
[51:30] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[51:30] Equations. I think of how sick it would be to see Clayton. Equation on the back of his shirt.

Speaker 7:
[51:38] Clayton on the back and it's like Y plus.

Speaker 5:
[51:42] Y equals MX plus B. Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[51:44] Or like 10 factorial.

Speaker 7:
[51:46] Think of what that's doing at the frat party.

Speaker 5:
[51:49] Oh my God. Oh my God. Is that the Y? Is that the slope intercept? Now, in your starting pitcher.

Speaker 8:
[51:56] Cosine.

Speaker 6:
[51:59] This is actually going to happen sooner than you think. There's an aspiring banana ball tycoon who's drumming up this league where the players kiss each other and have symbols and algorithms on the back of their jersey. Some more tickets.

Speaker 5:
[52:16] What are your thoughts on banana ball? Just the idea of, not necessarily specifically banana ball, but that alternative brand of sport.

Speaker 6:
[52:24] I'm tired of being told I can't hate on it because it's so successful. I think I should be allowed to while also acknowledging that, yeah, it should be a thing.

Speaker 5:
[52:36] Yeah. I've been getting a lot in the algorithm, the guy who wears the yellow tux, who's like the owner of the team, the whole league, the whole thing. I get, for some reason, I don't know why, I get just nothing but clips of him talking about his business, and just like, we'll never sell. We'll never sell. So my three keys to business are this, make money, but also invest your money back in your fans, and also be a good person. I think the way we do that is we do it, and here at Banana Button, and I'm like, why am I getting this clip? Why? What am I doing with this information?

Speaker 8:
[53:10] The time he's wearing like a Curious George.

Speaker 5:
[53:12] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[53:13] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[53:13] I think I know why you're getting the clip.

Speaker 5:
[53:16] When we started, we had, I would walk on the street, I would try to get 500 fans. Now we're selling out football stadiums. And I think one of the, here are the three pillars of our business. And I'm like, what? I'm not a business person. I'm not, Are you speaking?

Speaker 7:
[53:28] You're thinking of this from the wrong lens. You're a baseball fan.

Speaker 5:
[53:32] Right.

Speaker 7:
[53:32] You have a young daughter. You just went to a baseball game. You just called a foul ball.

Speaker 5:
[53:37] Right, I did.

Speaker 7:
[53:37] What happens to the banana ball? Catch a foul ball that's an out. They want you.

Speaker 5:
[53:40] But then feed me the clips of the banana ball games actually happening, not the guy talking about his business.

Speaker 7:
[53:45] That, I can't help you.

Speaker 5:
[53:46] Yeah, I don't know why this keeps happening.

Speaker 6:
[53:49] I have seen some truly somewhat jaw-dropping displays of athleticism and talent on that field, like the back flip catches. I mean, I think that's pretty cool. But, how often does that happen? And how often does the hypersexual lip-syncing and choreographed dance routines happen? My dad recently went. He got free tickets. Did he enjoy these things? I was ready to roast it with him. He was like, I get it.

Speaker 5:
[54:26] He's been converted?

Speaker 6:
[54:28] Not for me, per se.

Speaker 5:
[54:29] But you understand why.

Speaker 6:
[54:31] But I get it. And they seem to be on pace to have to invent new mega-stadiums just to fill the crowds.

Speaker 5:
[54:39] It's crazy. I saw one of the players is dating Pat Sajak's daughter.

Speaker 8:
[54:43] Did not know this.

Speaker 5:
[54:44] Yeah, I saw that too. I get a lot of banana.

Speaker 7:
[54:48] Well, they're on commercials now too. They got the Dairy Queen commercial. It's tough on the ears.

Speaker 5:
[54:54] And I saw the firefighters had a big win yesterday.

Speaker 6:
[54:59] I kind of hope it does encourage MLB players to show more personality.

Speaker 5:
[55:04] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[55:06] I mean, these guys, these stars of the sport, like we don't know anything about them. Are they are they dating celebrities like Derek Jeter used to?

Speaker 5:
[55:15] They seem, Ivo, you correct me if I'm wrong, because we have a lot of baseball players come through here, and I've asked a handful of them this question, that when they go on the road, they don't get after it anymore. Like that's not really a thing. Like the day, that's like a, that's a bygone era of like going out to the bar hammering beers at the end of the night, like picking out the last woman standing saying, babe, you're coming with me.

Speaker 6:
[55:37] And like, you know, everything I've read on Wikipedia about like old timey baseball players is they were menaces.

Speaker 5:
[55:42] Right. And that just doesn't work.

Speaker 6:
[55:44] They were alcoholics. I mean, I'm sure that's not conducive to be good at the sport in this era, but there's no there's not really any there's no characters.

Speaker 5:
[55:52] Yeah, I'm not asking these guys to do that. I'm just making note that it doesn't happen like it used to.

Speaker 7:
[55:57] Yeah, I got Gilbert on the Giants as a character.

Speaker 5:
[56:03] Who's the who's the number one loose cannon in MLB right now?

Speaker 7:
[56:09] Who's the Roman Anthony?

Speaker 5:
[56:13] Who's the guy that you'll have his loose cannon on his right arm? The guy who off the field or on the field, nothing really can surprise you at this point because anything could happen with that guy.

Speaker 8:
[56:25] I don't know if I can think of the one off the top of my head right now. I think the number one loose cannon in my lifetime, or like over the last 20 years was Yasiel Puig in terms of pure electricity and off the field. He was a guy that got in trouble for getting after it and going to the club in LA. But then he hit a 500 foot home run, throw the bat into the 300s and it would be awesome. There is a generation of players. Max Clark is a top prospect for the Tigers who was a TikTok type kid. Who was on, if you've ever been on Instagram scrolling, it's like youth prospects and it's like this 16 year old kid is the best 16 year old player in the country. And it's like a highlight reel of him. He's like from that generation of players and he's now made it to like the being a top actual MLB prospect. And he wears a ton of chains. He has like Rick Ross level jewelry on him every game. And he is like a character and very outgoing on Twitter and big social media presence. He might be like the next like the most adjacent to Banana Ball, I guess.

Speaker 5:
[57:30] What are the Yankees? What's the Yankees policy on chains and like the highlighter colors? The guys will wear like...

Speaker 8:
[57:39] I think Jazz Chisholm has worn like an ice cream cone glove.

Speaker 5:
[57:43] He wears shit, right?

Speaker 8:
[57:43] Yeah, and he wears a lot of chains.

Speaker 5:
[57:45] Yeah, they're fine with that.

Speaker 8:
[57:46] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[57:46] Okay. So yeah, the walls are crumbling a little bit in New York.

Speaker 8:
[57:50] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[57:51] They have to. The longer you go without winning a World Series, the more you have to be like, yeah, this shit's just not working. They could get away with it forever because they were always good. So you could tell if you want to play for us, if you want to win a World Series, you got to shave your beard. And then guys will be like, okay, I'll do that. But now it's like, listen, if you want to lose in six games in the ALDS, you're going to have to shave your beard. Then you guys are like, well, okay, I don't need to do that then.

Speaker 6:
[58:18] Exactly.

Speaker 8:
[58:18] Do the Yankees have the hardest divide in terms of their fan base, in terms of like half of them are like New York elite, like hoity-toity, like shave your, you have to be clean shaven, no jewelry, show up to your finest shop. And the other half are just like Italian dudes from Jersey or like the Bronx that were chains.

Speaker 6:
[58:38] Yeah, the tri-state schlubs, at least the Mets fans, like highest per capita bald rate in all of fandom. Those guys are all bald. Mets fans.

Speaker 5:
[58:53] I said six games ALDS. That's five, it's a five game series. That's a mistake. Good call. Let me correct myself right now.

Speaker 8:
[59:03] Minus one, me.

Speaker 5:
[59:04] Yeah, minus one.

Speaker 8:
[59:06] Another Yankee, you wanna do another Yankee topic?

Speaker 5:
[59:08] Give me a Yankee topic.

Speaker 8:
[59:08] Red Sox Yankees biggest rivalry in baseball, someone say correct?

Speaker 5:
[59:12] Oh yeah, yeah, I saw this. I saw this.

Speaker 8:
[59:16] The Red Sox team store was selling Yankees 27 championship home plate, commemorative home plates and merch for Yankees fans. It's not uncommon for these stadiums to have sections for visiting fans, I'd say. Like if you go to a Blackhawks game, there's probably like a, there might be a Red Wings thing in there, I don't know. It's not uncommon, but this one feels particularly weird.

Speaker 5:
[59:40] This is insane. Yeah, they are selling Yankees merch. This is at Fenway?

Speaker 8:
[59:44] Yes.

Speaker 5:
[59:45] That's crazy. Although I will say, I don't really feel like this, this is a topic that comes up every so often on the show. I do sort of feel like rivalries and pro sports are dead, are just completely dead. Like the idea of teams hating each other. Now, rivalries can emerge because teams meet each other in the playoffs a handful of times, and then they build like a little bit of a rivalry. You know, like I'm just looking at like, you know, the NBA playoffs right now, that the Timberwolves and Nuggets seem to play each other all the time. This continues for like five more years. Maybe they have a little bit of a rivalry, but the second Jokic retires or Anthony Edwards goes to another team or something, then that rivalry disappears. So it's not really those two teams have a rivalry. It's just like right now, we're competing for the same trophy. So we have, and all that is to say, I think the days of because you play for the Red Sox and I play for the Yankees, I hate you. I think those days are long gone. Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[60:40] Yeah. These guys have no individual ill will toward each other, which is that what that's what you need. Player on player and ill will, like two dudes who hate each other. You're saying we don't have that anymore.

Speaker 5:
[60:51] I don't really think, I think that like players can hate each other, but I think that there's a, like in the NBA, if you played for the Lakers, you hate the Celtics and vice versa and that's just how it works. I don't think that's the case anymore. In fact, it's the opposite that the best player on the Celtics, Jason Tatum, is a Lakers fan. He grew up a Lakers fan, loves Kobe and he's just like, yeah, I mean, I think if you ask Jason Tatum, and maybe he might say he hates the Lakers, just to curry favor with the Boston fans.

Speaker 7:
[61:20] Authentic.

Speaker 5:
[61:20] But it's not authentic.

Speaker 6:
[61:21] A lot of these guys are playing against their lifelong heroes in these playoff games. Like, oh, I get to play against LeBron.

Speaker 5:
[61:27] So I think this is depressing to see, but it also isn't as surprising because I don't think the Yankees and Red Sox actually hate each other. I think the fans of a certain age hate fans of the other team for sure. But I don't think it's really a rivalry.

Speaker 7:
[61:44] We're losing it in college sports as well, from a player to player, hating. Like Mike Kadek hates Purdue. He has to teach his Indiana teammates to hate them. We don't have that true authentic hate. I'll disagree with you though that it is leaving because it's still very much there in hockey.

Speaker 5:
[62:04] Well, give me the hockey rivalries. Give me a hockey rivalry that you know for a fact that 20 years from now, it will still be a rivalry.

Speaker 7:
[62:11] Penguins, Flyers, Canadians, Maple Leafs, the Canadians, Bruins, Maple Leafs, Bruins, on and on. Sidney Crosley, before the series, just said, yeah, I hate every single person on that team in that organization.

Speaker 5:
[62:25] So hockey still has it like that.

Speaker 7:
[62:27] There was a clip of Flyers fans. There was one Penguins fan in a section. Every time the guy stood up and walked around, the entire arena seemingly booed them. Like the hockey rivalry is still very much there, no matter. You even guys who we had two 19-year-olds on the Penguins and Flyers that fought at the end of game three yesterday.

Speaker 5:
[62:50] Can I?

Speaker 7:
[62:50] New blood. So.

Speaker 5:
[62:52] Can I? Maybe I'm on to something here, but hockey guys don't make as much money, right? As football.

Speaker 7:
[63:00] They are now. Well, yes, but they're in.

Speaker 5:
[63:03] I'm not saying they're living at a ditch. I'm saying, is there a threshold where once you start making a certain amount of money?

Speaker 7:
[63:12] No, because can we get a Sidney Crosby career earnings check?

Speaker 5:
[63:18] Okay. But I'm not comparing Sidney Crosby to Liam Blutman career earnings check. But we're comparing Sidney Crosby to Jason Tatum's career earnings. And Aaron Judge's career earnings.

Speaker 7:
[63:29] Yeah, which is going to be less.

Speaker 5:
[63:31] Yeah. That's my point. This is the rivalry. Yeah. 165 million. He's done well for himself. I'm not here to argue that Sidney Crosby doesn't have money. I'm saying that maybe you start making so much money.

Speaker 7:
[63:45] That becomes lost money?

Speaker 5:
[63:47] Yeah. Then you just go wherever the money takes you. And you don't have the loyalty.

Speaker 7:
[63:51] Spoilers of flames. What a rivalry.

Speaker 6:
[63:53] That's why the UFC works. Because not only are you about to fight someone to near death, but you're also fighting for an amount of money that could either change your life or make you need a job.

Speaker 7:
[64:09] That's dog eat dog for real.

Speaker 6:
[64:11] I think a serious, longstanding financial implication is, I think it's big for a rivalry.

Speaker 7:
[64:17] I agree with that.

Speaker 9:
[64:19] The chat wanted me to bring up this guy, Yasiel Puig.

Speaker 7:
[64:22] Yasiel Puig, yeah, he got signed by the Maple Leafs.

Speaker 5:
[64:25] Yasiel Puig got signed by the Maple Leafs?

Speaker 7:
[64:28] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[64:29] Interesting.

Speaker 5:
[64:30] It's also amazing.

Speaker 8:
[64:31] Wait, 15 years in prison?

Speaker 5:
[64:33] Like the others just happened. He just got signed by the Maple Leafs last night. What?

Speaker 6:
[64:42] Wait, what is the prison?

Speaker 8:
[64:45] The obstruction of justice.

Speaker 5:
[64:46] Oh, no, not those Maple Leafs. Oh, Blotman. Oh, Blotman.

Speaker 7:
[64:50] Come on, man.

Speaker 5:
[64:51] Oh. So Toronto has a Maple Leafs baseball team?

Speaker 7:
[64:57] Yeah, I woke up and I told you, the first thing I saw was Connor Griffin getting Catherine's number. The second thing I saw was the Maple Leafs of signing Yasiel Puig and trying to decipher that one at 702 was very difficult.

Speaker 5:
[65:10] How do they have a Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team and a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team? You shouldn't be able to do that.

Speaker 7:
[65:15] Yeah, that just don't make sense.

Speaker 5:
[65:17] I don't make a lick of sense.

Speaker 8:
[65:18] That's bad SEO. That's bad business. Banana ball guy, I'd say.

Speaker 5:
[65:21] Although maybe it's good that they probably get a lot of people to show up for the games. They're confused. Yeah, they're just accidentally like, what the hell?

Speaker 7:
[65:29] Oh, man. Maple Leafs fan from Scotland travels in to see the Leafs play and they end up at a 3,000 seat baseball game.

Speaker 5:
[65:40] That would be devastating.

Speaker 7:
[65:41] Their logo is actually really funny.

Speaker 5:
[65:44] That would be devastating.

Speaker 8:
[65:46] They used to have a pretty big stadium.

Speaker 7:
[65:48] Really?

Speaker 8:
[65:51] Looks like they just play in some guy's backyard now.

Speaker 5:
[65:53] What's your sports consumption right now, KB?

Speaker 6:
[65:59] Wikipedia.

Speaker 5:
[66:00] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[66:01] I'm really into, to no surprise, the geographic careers of players and coaches. And I'm trying to find who's had the worst, the best, the incrementally worst, and the incrementally best. Okay. Like someone who started out at San Diego State or Pepperdine, which I would say for a coach would be like an S-tier geographic move. Right. And then ended up in like Cleveland or Toledo. So I'm taking a lot of notes on that.

Speaker 5:
[66:41] On the guys that, and these are guys who took different jobs, there were better jobs, but less lifestyle.

Speaker 6:
[66:49] A lot of times a better career move, but a worse geographic move.

Speaker 5:
[66:54] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[66:54] When you think about these coaches, like they have families, wife, kids, like I think that's a big part of making a move is where you live.

Speaker 5:
[67:04] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[67:05] Permanently.

Speaker 5:
[67:06] Guys who have it absolutely made, live by the beach, are just kind of like jogging every day, playing beach volleyball, getting a lot of sun, feeling good playing in the ocean, and that's their life. But in an advancement of their career, they uproot all of that because they're chasing the bag and they move to the Midwest. And despite it being a good move for their career, there's just that voice in the back of their head that's like, I should be at the beach. What the fuck am I doing here?

Speaker 6:
[67:34] I always think about where these mega millionaires, off the outside of sports, how they live their lives. Someone like they start at FAU or UC Santa Barbara, and now they have to go to Green Bay or Buffalo.

Speaker 7:
[67:51] Yeah, would you rather be the assistant coach for the Pepperdine Men's Basketball Team or the head coach at...

Speaker 5:
[67:59] Of the Thunder?

Speaker 7:
[68:00] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[68:02] Honestly, I'd rather be... Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[68:04] I was going to say UMKC, but the Thunder worked.

Speaker 5:
[68:07] The Oklahoma City thought, would you rather win an NBA championship as the head coach of the Thunder or just live in Malibu?

Speaker 7:
[68:15] Malibu.

Speaker 8:
[68:16] I was thinking about this when Doug Flutie came in because he describes such an interesting and fulfilling life. He had lived so many different lives and now he serves.

Speaker 5:
[68:27] That interview was incredible.

Speaker 8:
[68:28] He serves, he plays baseball, he's just tan, he goes out with rock stars to plays drums with them. Would you rather have his life or would you rather be a middling quarterback that makes a ton of money? Obviously, on paper, you just take all the money and glory.

Speaker 5:
[68:45] But you take the money so you can have that life. The whole point of having the money is to then become what Doug Flutie is doing. What good is having the money if you're not going to then at some point, say, okay, I've accumulated enough money, so now I can go do what I want to do.

Speaker 8:
[69:00] He seems like he's lived such a fun and fulfilling life, in terms of accomplishment and also just self-satisfaction of just doing what he wants to do.

Speaker 5:
[69:09] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[69:10] I envy that. When he was just like, yeah, I surf and play golf and go play baseball all day. That's kind of sick. That's all he's been doing for the last 20 years.

Speaker 5:
[69:19] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[69:20] Going TV, do a couple of hits, play drums for Motley Crue.

Speaker 5:
[69:24] I should have been a great NFL quarterback. I could have done the same. Stella Blue coffee is more than just great coffee. It's coffee with a purpose.

Gab, you were telling me that Carlos Alcares might not be in the French Open.

Speaker 9:
[70:15] Yeah, he has a wrist injury.

Speaker 5:
[70:16] Is this new?

Speaker 9:
[70:18] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[70:18] When did this happen?

Speaker 7:
[70:19] It's like two weeks old. I meant to bring this up.

Speaker 5:
[70:22] Why didn't you tell me this?

Speaker 7:
[70:22] I meant to bring this up.

Speaker 5:
[70:23] How did this, how has this gone on for two weeks and you didn't tell me this? Gab told me this this morning. Now, I like Gab fine, we don't talk a lot. Is that fair to say, Gab? It's not like you and I spend a lot of time chatting. So in the very little time that I've talked to her this week, she just immediately was like, hey, by the way, Carlos Alcares, I don't know if you heard.

Speaker 7:
[70:44] He's hurt.

Speaker 5:
[70:45] I talked to you all the time, Bloodman. You know I'm an Alcares guy and you just didn't tell me this?

Speaker 7:
[70:49] I meant to bring this up on Monday. I forgot blip in the system. I was going to bring this up by showing you a picture of him and you would have to know this. So we could still do that.

Speaker 5:
[71:01] OK, show me the picture and I have to notice that his wrist is hurt.

Speaker 7:
[71:04] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[71:06] Hmm.

Speaker 7:
[71:07] It's, he was, him and Sinner were like both minus 110 to win the French Sinner is now minus 165. Wow.

Speaker 5:
[71:17] He's not out necessarily or he is out. Is he confirmed out of the French Open?

Speaker 7:
[71:23] Not confirmed out. He's currently plus 135 to win. But the thing about wrist injuries and tennises, I mean, KB knows that might as well be a death sentence.

Speaker 6:
[71:34] Yep. Instrumental to the game, the wrist.

Speaker 7:
[71:38] Dominic theme, wrist injury.

Speaker 6:
[71:40] How good? What are these?

Speaker 5:
[71:41] Is it a shooting wrist? Is it just throwing wrist? Fuck. The tendon sheath in his right wrist. Information of the tendon sheath.

Speaker 7:
[71:53] There's a picture.

Speaker 5:
[71:54] Described as more serious than any of us expected.

Speaker 7:
[71:57] There's a picture on stool tennis, Gab.

Speaker 5:
[72:00] What are we going to say, KB?

Speaker 7:
[72:02] Yeah, I'm going to TJ. Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[72:04] I was going to ask about the ceilings of Alcara as in sinner as a rivalry. Do they have potential, Liam, to be Djokovic, Nadal, Federer?

Speaker 7:
[72:23] It would not be fair of me to speak of it like that because I wasn't there for those rivalries.

Speaker 5:
[72:30] What? That was like five years ago, wasn't it?

Speaker 7:
[72:32] I got on the tennis in 2022.

Speaker 5:
[72:34] Oh my God.

Speaker 6:
[72:34] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[72:35] I'm new blood in tennis. I think that this goes to what you're...

Speaker 6:
[72:39] Oh yeah.

Speaker 5:
[72:41] Okay. Yeah. You were going to show me this picture and ask if I noticed the cast on his wrist.

Speaker 7:
[72:47] I wanted to watch you notice it in real time.

Speaker 5:
[72:50] Titus, look at this picture and tell me if you see anything.

Speaker 7:
[72:53] Yes. Then I would expect you to do like and break down.

Speaker 5:
[72:59] That's what I did when Dab told me that he might be out.

Speaker 7:
[73:03] Yeah. This is good.

Speaker 5:
[73:04] So my read on Alcaraz center rivalry is like they might be able to eclipse the big three because there's only two of them and there's only two of them to split up all the majors. So in terms of accolades, they don't have a third person that's like taking trophies away from them. So conceivably, they just alternate winning trophies for 15 years.

Speaker 7:
[73:28] We're waiting for that. Joao Fonseca is supposed to be one of them guys. He was dealing with the back injury, still super young. Rafa Hodar, who I'm a big, big fan of. He looks like a menace on clay already. He's 19, so he's going to be in the mix eventually. Basel from a rivalry standpoint, they don't hate each other. There's not an ounce of animosity towards one. Yannick just beat Carlos for the title in Monte Carlo. That's where we believe the Carlos injury stems from. Yannick Sinner celebrating the winner of Monte Carlo does like a diving board jump after they win. Carlos is there watching them, applauding them. There's not a single ounce of animosity.

Speaker 5:
[74:09] I don't like that. I hate Sinner.

Speaker 7:
[74:10] They love each other.

Speaker 5:
[74:11] I'll hate Sinner for Carlos.

Speaker 7:
[74:13] Yannick's got a new girlfriend. Carlos is still girlfriend-less. But Carlos loves the woman. We know that. That was his downfall. Now it's the wrist that's the thing.

Speaker 5:
[74:24] It's Goo in his box.

Speaker 7:
[74:25] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[74:26] Goo in his box?

Speaker 5:
[74:27] Yeah, Peggy. Peggy Goo in his box.

Speaker 6:
[74:30] Oh.

Speaker 5:
[74:31] Yeah, Peggy Goo in his box.

Speaker 6:
[74:33] I know. Is she a DJ?

Speaker 5:
[74:36] Yeah, right?

Speaker 7:
[74:36] Yep. That's what she was, South Korean DJ in Carlos Alcraz's box at the Aussie.

Speaker 5:
[74:41] But without a third person in the mix, in the rivalry, there is a path where these two guys, when their careers are played out, they're maybe one and two all time in most majors. What do you call them? You don't call them majors. What do you call them?

Speaker 8:
[74:58] Grand Slam Titus.

Speaker 7:
[74:59] You call them either one. Is it real? You're just two good friends.

Speaker 5:
[75:09] What is this music?

Speaker 4:
[75:09] I don't like these guys, but look at the backdrop, Titus.

Speaker 5:
[75:16] What is the... Was Eminem playing at the pool or is this an edit? Someone made an edit. You better lose yourself.

Speaker 6:
[75:27] Look at these guys. They hate each other.

Speaker 8:
[75:31] They were dating the same girl at the same time, right?

Speaker 6:
[75:33] I think there's a lot of that.

Speaker 8:
[75:36] That's not true.

Speaker 5:
[75:38] Who were they dating?

Speaker 8:
[75:38] They were both reportedly going on...

Speaker 7:
[75:41] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 8:
[75:41] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[75:42] You're right. Nader. Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[75:43] Who's now dating someone else that's famous?

Speaker 7:
[75:46] I don't know who.

Speaker 8:
[75:47] She's a reality TV star slash model.

Speaker 7:
[75:49] This is tennis spring break house. I don't know who she's dating now. She was DMing Sinner and Carlos at the same time. There was a rumor that she had got rid of Sinner for Carlos. Clearly, Carlos done that goo in his box. The nader stuff was at US Open. Sinner now dating a girl has been since US Open, a different girl. Forget where she's from. There was a video of them celebrating a dinner in Monte Carlo where a guy rubbed up on Sinner. Really weird. Taylor Fritz and his girlfriend might be done. There's stuff happening in tennis.

Speaker 8:
[76:26] She's reportedly dating Taryn Egerton, who's from the Kingsman movie. You may know him.

Speaker 5:
[76:31] Or he's on the other side. He sounds familiar. He sounds familiar.

Speaker 8:
[76:35] Yeah, he's Elton John.

Speaker 5:
[76:38] Is he one of those hot guys that's kind of ugly?

Speaker 8:
[76:40] Yes.

Speaker 6:
[76:43] Those guys are the stocks high.

Speaker 5:
[76:45] You're like, that guy is so fucking hot, but here's the crazy part, he's also very ugly.

Speaker 6:
[76:49] He's also weird. Yeah, tough to look at.

Speaker 5:
[76:52] Very hard to look at, but oh my God, is he hot?

Speaker 6:
[76:55] Yeah. I think that's the future of attraction. With the uptick in like cosmetic surgeries, I think people with like almost deformities will have high capital in the sex game.

Speaker 9:
[77:12] There's breaking news about Mike Raible and Diana Rossini. Do we want to see it?

Speaker 5:
[77:17] Yeah, yes. Yes, we do.

Speaker 7:
[77:19] Breaking? Oh, wait, someone said this was going to happen. Someone tweeted that the post is go- I could find the tweet, someone tweeted that the post is going to tweet a picture of them kissing 10 minutes before the draft starts.

Speaker 6:
[77:36] The cameraman- Oh, my God.

Speaker 5:
[77:37] Caught kissing in a New York City bar in a bombshell new photo, taken six years before the scandal.

Speaker 6:
[77:43] Oh, this was six years ago.

Speaker 5:
[77:44] Six years ago.

Speaker 6:
[77:46] And did they notice the photographer one foot away from them? Wait a second.

Speaker 5:
[77:54] Yeah. Hold on. Also-

Speaker 6:
[77:56] The meek Phil.

Speaker 5:
[77:59] Also six years ago.

Speaker 6:
[78:02] That's like-

Speaker 5:
[78:03] My math is-

Speaker 6:
[78:03] They're not social.

Speaker 5:
[78:06] Bars in New York City weren't opened.

Speaker 6:
[78:08] Exactly.

Speaker 5:
[78:09] You weren't.

Speaker 6:
[78:09] Oh, yeah. Oh, this is the height of COVID. It was a ghost town.

Speaker 5:
[78:13] Yeah. There's no way.

Speaker 6:
[78:14] They probably-

Speaker 5:
[78:17] Wait a second.

Speaker 6:
[78:18] They're super spread. Yeah.

Speaker 10:
[78:21] They are super COVID.

Speaker 6:
[78:23] They killed thousands of Manhattanites.

Speaker 5:
[78:26] How many lives?

Speaker 8:
[78:27] I heard that-

Speaker 5:
[78:28] How many lives were lost because of this kid?

Speaker 8:
[78:30] The trip to Stono was also a super spreader of that.

Speaker 6:
[78:32] The butter high effect. Now, the real story is they killed a bunch of-

Speaker 5:
[78:36] They killed a lot of people.

Speaker 6:
[78:37] New Yorkers.

Speaker 5:
[78:37] Yeah, that's right. How many lives were lost because of this smooch? The singular smooch. You have to think, this is pretty crazy. This was going on for six years. And Mike Vrabel decided it was time to address this and be a man and be a better husband and father and look himself in the mirror right as soon as this all came to light. That's pretty crazy coincidence. That's pretty crazy coincidence that he decided to take accountability right at the exact same time that he got caught with these actions.

Speaker 7:
[79:10] I, you know, yeah, there's so many tweets.

Speaker 5:
[79:14] He had six years to look himself in the mirror and be like, I should take accountability for this. And he was like, let's not do it. It's too soon.

Speaker 7:
[79:20] There's just so many tweets that people were saying, like, like talk about you and Vrabel, duh, duh, duh, from years and years ago. And it makes you think.

Speaker 5:
[79:32] Yeah, it does.

Speaker 7:
[79:34] Now I'm thinking about Vrabel. This man should not be able to draft this weekend.

Speaker 5:
[79:41] Where's his head going to be at? Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[79:43] No, you can make an irresponsible decision like drafting Cole Strange in my first round.

Speaker 5:
[79:48] Or he might try to kiss one of the guys who drafts. He's a smooch.

Speaker 6:
[79:53] You know how bad he wanted that fucking makeout?

Speaker 8:
[79:57] This report says that they were spot in the bar March 11th, 2020.

Speaker 5:
[80:04] No, hold on.

Speaker 8:
[80:05] March 12th, 2020 was the day the Big East Tournament was canceled and the world officially shut down.

Speaker 5:
[80:12] Where does the Big East Tournament take place, Ibo?

Speaker 8:
[80:15] New York City, Mark Titus.

Speaker 1:
[80:17] Oh my God.

Speaker 6:
[80:20] This bad start never mind the infidelity. We have a destruction they caused.

Speaker 5:
[80:28] Holy shit.

Speaker 7:
[80:29] This is crazy.

Speaker 5:
[80:32] Oh my God.

Speaker 7:
[80:34] That 2020 NFL draft to the COVID protocols. There was so there was something so much bigger happening that we didn't even know. Mike Vrabel, if you remember, his kids were in the draft room with him because he had to do it from home. He had a kid dressed as Frozone.

Speaker 5:
[80:53] That's right.

Speaker 7:
[80:54] And yet something bigger was happening. The entire time he had, he had, yeah, maybe he was making out with Diana Racina, Racini a day before COVID, a month before his kid dressed as Frozone on national television like these are things you could have prevented. And now we're here, you're going to miss Saturday of the NFL Draft, the biggest eight picks you said they have?

Speaker 5:
[81:21] What if he puts out a statement after these pictures come out and he's like, I will now miss day two. In light of this scandal, I've decided to also miss day two. I will still be there for day one.

Speaker 7:
[81:35] What's it take to miss day one?

Speaker 8:
[81:37] This bar that they were supposedly at is right across the street from the Ghostbusters headquarters. I don't know if that adds any layers.

Speaker 5:
[81:46] Oh my god.

Speaker 6:
[81:47] Holy shit.

Speaker 5:
[81:48] Oh my god.

Speaker 7:
[81:50] What's that?

Speaker 8:
[81:51] I've never heard of this bar, the Tribeca Tavern. I lived in the area, so I don't know.

Speaker 6:
[81:56] Tribeca Taverns.

Speaker 5:
[81:57] How far is Tribeca from MSG?

Speaker 8:
[82:02] It's a one-line stop, so you can take the one to MSG, Franklin Street.

Speaker 5:
[82:08] I don't know what that means.

Speaker 8:
[82:09] So you can get on Franklin Street in the one, go, it's probably what, 10 minutes?

Speaker 5:
[82:12] 10 minute train ride?

Speaker 8:
[82:14] Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 6:
[82:15] Damn.

Speaker 8:
[82:16] Transfer at 14.

Speaker 5:
[82:17] The most Stephen Che thing about me is I still think of COVID through the lens of sports and only through the lens of sports. That's it. If you ask me, I would say that COVID started at the Big East Tournament. That's actually where the-

Speaker 6:
[82:31] Yeah, I think that's Stephen for me.

Speaker 5:
[82:34] The pandemic started. Rudy Gobert and the Big East Tournament.

Speaker 6:
[82:38] Tournament canceled, Dayton.

Speaker 7:
[82:41] How the timeline's so much more different.

Speaker 5:
[82:44] Yeah. I owe Rudy Gobert an apology. I think we all do.

Speaker 6:
[82:48] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[82:49] It was Mike Frayfool the whole time. How about that? Pardon my cheesesteak. The NFL draft is here. Draft Night is perfect for a cheesesteak night. We're talking hot loaded cheesesteaks, real deal steak, perfectly melted cheese, fresh toasted rolls, plus fries that show up ready to play. So while your team's on the clock, make the easy call, order on pardonmycheesesteak.com, and get free delivery by using code AWL at checkout, pardonmycheesesteak.com. Get yourself some cheesesteak hunkered down for the draft. I do like that the NFL draft has made it where night one is just the first round, night two is second. It's a nice sliding scale for the football sickos. It's like the whole country is going to be watching tonight, but really a lot of the country only cares about the first round. We only care about the superstars.

Speaker 6:
[83:42] That's majority.

Speaker 5:
[83:43] Once they're off the board, we do a hard reset tomorrow. It's like, hey, you're still interested? How about some really, really good players? Maybe not superstars, but really, they could be superstars. Guys, you could be superstars. Then you do that, and then it's like, all right, now you football sickos.

Speaker 6:
[84:00] Sickos, day three.

Speaker 5:
[84:01] Let's lock in on day three and do the rest of this thing. I do like that.

Speaker 7:
[84:06] I just can't wait to see where Bryce Lance, Ted Hurst got drafted.

Speaker 6:
[84:11] I was actually-

Speaker 7:
[84:12] Are you on store?

Speaker 6:
[84:13] I was in Columbus, I think, for the draft. It might have been 2003, and at this time, I was a massive Jets fan. I would write fan mail to Jonathan Abrams, and I loved the team. And I think they drafted a kicker first round. I think it was Mike Nugent.

Speaker 5:
[84:29] Mike Nugent?

Speaker 6:
[84:30] And I said, I'm done. I'm done.

Speaker 8:
[84:34] Is there anything that can get you back?

Speaker 6:
[84:38] With the Jets? It doesn't look like it, right?

Speaker 8:
[84:42] No.

Speaker 6:
[84:43] I mean, if they- No.

Speaker 8:
[84:45] Are you Sneaky Orioles guy, by the way?

Speaker 6:
[84:47] No.

Speaker 8:
[84:47] Okay.

Speaker 6:
[84:48] Jets, Mets and Ruckers. That's what I grew up as.

Speaker 5:
[84:52] Jets, Mets and Ruckers.

Speaker 6:
[84:54] Which is like, maybe statistically, if you take FBS, pro football, MLB, one of the most depressing combinations.

Speaker 5:
[85:05] Yeah. You've never known success, really.

Speaker 7:
[85:07] I could challenge you a bit, because I was a Jets and Angels kid.

Speaker 5:
[85:12] Jets and Angels.

Speaker 7:
[85:13] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[85:15] Your family divides strangely.

Speaker 7:
[85:17] Well, so Markie, Blotman, Uncle Kay, Grandpa, all big New York football giants fans. I, from a young age, a little bit of trolling decided to root for the green team when they were playing each other, which leads you down the wrong path. I guess there was no correct choice, except they did win too. So yeah, Jets wrote a letter to Jets saying, not to draft Mark Sanchez.

Speaker 6:
[85:46] You did?

Speaker 7:
[85:46] Yeah. Or my mom just kept it.

Speaker 6:
[85:49] But yeah.

Speaker 5:
[85:50] Oh, she said she's gonna send it.

Speaker 6:
[85:51] I did that to Lizzie McGuire or Hilary Duff. I wrote her a review of Cadet Kelly in Microsoft Word and with some fan mail. My mom told me she sent it, and then they wrote me a fake email back from Hilary.

Speaker 5:
[86:08] She just never sent it.

Speaker 6:
[86:09] Yeah. Wow.

Speaker 7:
[86:10] That's tough.

Speaker 6:
[86:11] You were Jets, Angels, and Marshall?

Speaker 7:
[86:15] No, UCLA.

Speaker 6:
[86:16] Okay.

Speaker 5:
[86:18] What year?

Speaker 7:
[86:24] I'm missing this one.

Speaker 5:
[86:28] That was pretty good.

Speaker 8:
[86:29] You tried to sneak that one. You tried to sneak that one. That was pretty good. That was good.

Speaker 6:
[86:32] Yeah. You like Pennington?

Speaker 7:
[86:35] Oh, yeah. Big chap, Pennington. Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[86:37] Jets, Angels, Marshall, Thundering Earth. I get it.

Speaker 7:
[86:40] My bad.

Speaker 5:
[86:42] Google Marshall and Jets, maybe.

Speaker 6:
[86:45] Oh, dude.

Speaker 5:
[86:49] What year were you born, Buttman?

Speaker 7:
[86:51] 1998.

Speaker 6:
[86:52] I guess.

Speaker 5:
[86:53] You were too young for the O2 World Series?

Speaker 7:
[86:56] I watched that DVD 9,000 times.

Speaker 5:
[86:58] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[87:00] Not too young. I watched it.

Speaker 5:
[87:02] That's pretty. Rally monkey. That's success. That's fun.

Speaker 7:
[87:05] Yeah, that is.

Speaker 5:
[87:06] That's a little taste of success.

Speaker 7:
[87:07] That's all I needed.

Speaker 5:
[87:08] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[87:10] I want to give you a name of an NFL draft prospect. I'd like you to rate him purely off name if you would like.

Speaker 6:
[87:17] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[87:18] He's a day three guy.

Speaker 6:
[87:20] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[87:20] Red Murdoch.

Speaker 6:
[87:23] That sounds way too much like the criminal case family. Right? What is their name? They're the Murdochs and they're with the redhead.

Speaker 7:
[87:34] I didn't put two into the killer.

Speaker 6:
[87:37] It's a great name.

Speaker 7:
[87:39] Oh, that changes everything.

Speaker 6:
[87:41] No, I don't know. No, it's just a little too familiar.

Speaker 7:
[87:43] He's a killer.

Speaker 6:
[87:45] Oh, really?

Speaker 7:
[87:45] There's that. Yeah, I guess. I meant like a football killer.

Speaker 5:
[87:49] Oh, like he's good at football.

Speaker 7:
[87:52] Yeah. Yeah. Move on.

Speaker 6:
[87:53] Red is a good like vintage athlete name. I love it.

Speaker 7:
[87:56] Yeah. Bad segment. Johnny Red Floyd.

Speaker 5:
[87:59] Let's do Jersey Day. Let's do Jersey Day. Get out of this. And then we'll do a great ad segment. I'm where I'll start. I'm wearing the Green Bay Packers, the blank Green Bay Packers that somebody sent in. It does have number 10 on the shoulder. It's what's really annoying me is that people that approach from, from where you're at, KB, I'll be sitting here. People approach me and they'll be like, oh, that's a sick Jordan love. And then I have to explain to them. It's not.

Speaker 6:
[88:21] It's asymmetrical 10, 10 blank.

Speaker 5:
[88:23] It's just a 10. It's a 10, you know? I'm collecting jerseys of, I want one jersey of every team in the NFL that is mostly blank. I would prefer that the 10 is not on the shoulder. I would prefer it's just fully blank. I got sent a Broncos jersey with nothing on it.

Speaker 6:
[88:39] I kind of don't mind it.

Speaker 5:
[88:40] I love it.

Speaker 6:
[88:41] I think it's even somewhat fashionable.

Speaker 5:
[88:43] Yeah. So that started my collection. It was Fanatics, Ebo, who was it?

Speaker 8:
[88:48] Yeah. Yeah. The Broncos.

Speaker 5:
[88:52] Yeah. They sent us all football jerseys, and they weren't sure what player to give me, so they just put nobody on the jersey. It's my favorite piece of clothing I own. Then someone for opening day sent me a Packers blank one as well. So I got two teams checked. I want to collect more.

Speaker 6:
[89:09] That's good. I like that.

Speaker 5:
[89:10] Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6:
[89:16] The Griner 42, is there a number?

Speaker 5:
[89:21] I guess so.

Speaker 6:
[89:22] Jackie Robinson of Captives.

Speaker 5:
[89:24] I noticed the X is orange.

Speaker 6:
[89:26] Yeah, what is going on here? I like the color scheme.

Speaker 5:
[89:30] Why?

Speaker 8:
[89:31] Yeah, why is a woman marked?

Speaker 5:
[89:34] Is there a reason that the X is orange? Is that, do you know that, Blumman?

Speaker 7:
[89:40] I'm Googling. The X factor.

Speaker 6:
[89:44] Oh, okay. That's their motto.

Speaker 5:
[89:46] The television show.

Speaker 7:
[89:48] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[89:48] What's your name?

Speaker 5:
[89:50] Jackie Robinson.

Speaker 8:
[89:51] Did you see the Audie Crooks report, by the way? We didn't talk about it on the show, but she apparently, yeah, is apparently making just as much as like a WNBA Supermax in college.

Speaker 5:
[89:59] That's pretty crazy.

Speaker 8:
[90:00] Which doesn't really seem worthwhile for any of the.

Speaker 5:
[90:04] The college, yeah. I don't know why the college would do that, especially just one year, right? And then she's gone.

Speaker 8:
[90:10] Yeah. I do think it's interesting the college guys like Thomas Hawk, or Thomas Hawk coming back, where you know what, four million.

Speaker 5:
[90:17] That's what they're saying, yeah.

Speaker 8:
[90:18] If you're not a slam dunk lottery guy, you can make so much money in college that you might not even, you might just not even play in the NBA.

Speaker 5:
[90:24] Even if I was, I would still like stay in college and just have fun, dude.

Speaker 8:
[90:28] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[90:29] If I was making like even like a hundred thousand in like a Midwest college town. Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[90:37] Billionaire. How much, what's the price tag on being an absolute god? Like being surrounded by your peers every single day. Every beautiful woman that is in your peer group wants to have sex with you everywhere you go. You get everything you want. And on top of it, you're getting paid like five million dollars. But you're giving up like ten million. I don't know.

Speaker 6:
[91:07] Yeah. No, it's the price tag is being twenty seven in your seventh year of eligibility.

Speaker 5:
[91:12] Like I what I'm saying is, is there might be what I might be willing to give up like three million dollars just to like stay in college and be at a place that I want to be at, not be drafted to franchise. I don't want to go play for that bum ass franchise that's going to draft me. I want to stay here. They love me here. I don't know.

Speaker 7:
[91:31] Tyson did the opposite, passed up on Miami to go to the NFL and maybe be a first rounder.

Speaker 5:
[91:37] Yeah. That's crazy.

Speaker 7:
[91:39] Six and a half million from Miami.

Speaker 5:
[91:41] These guys are wired differently. They want to be at the highest level. They want to be great. That's probably why they're great in the first place, but not me. Not me. I want to have stunted development. I want to be turning 30 in college. Blumman, what jersey are you wearing?

Speaker 7:
[92:01] To celebrate Draft Day, rocking the Vonte Mack. Obviously, it was Cleveland Brown's draft pick. But his tenure with the Chicago Bears will never forget. Still kicking it. Just a couple more years left in his career, probably Vonte Mack, no matter what.

Speaker 6:
[92:19] Yeah. Anything on him? Any oddities or tidbits?

Speaker 7:
[92:24] No.

Speaker 6:
[92:25] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[92:27] Rocking a Cal Ripken Ducks.

Speaker 7:
[92:31] Oh, that's sick.

Speaker 8:
[92:32] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[92:33] I guess I am. Cal Ripken is my hero.

Speaker 8:
[92:36] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[92:37] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[92:37] I only said that because I saw the video of you wearing an Orioles house. I didn't realize you were.

Speaker 6:
[92:42] I love Cal Ripken.

Speaker 5:
[92:45] Who is that?

Speaker 8:
[92:46] I actually don't know who this is. Someone sent this in for Jersey.

Speaker 7:
[92:49] This is Cal Ripken.

Speaker 8:
[92:50] I think Cal Ripken. But whoever sent this in on Jersey, it's fire.

Speaker 5:
[92:56] It's timely.

Speaker 8:
[92:56] Big win last night.

Speaker 5:
[92:57] Yeah. Huge win.

Speaker 8:
[92:59] Dude.

Speaker 5:
[92:59] Huge win.

Speaker 7:
[93:01] Connor McDavid played the worst game of his career. Nobody's talk about also.

Speaker 5:
[93:06] How does that keep happening?

Speaker 7:
[93:08] There was an object thrown on the ice that you would not expect. I'm going to go send this video.

Speaker 5:
[93:15] A baby.

Speaker 6:
[93:16] A baby? No.

Speaker 8:
[93:17] I would not expect that.

Speaker 5:
[93:18] A baby.

Speaker 7:
[93:19] No, you would expect that because-

Speaker 6:
[93:20] How close is a baby?

Speaker 7:
[93:23] Not close, and you would expect that because there was a baby birth in that arena two weeks ago, remember?

Speaker 6:
[93:29] Still wouldn't expect them to be thrown.

Speaker 5:
[93:30] Yeah. Not to be thrown on the ice.

Speaker 6:
[93:32] Yeah. It's legitimately shocking.

Speaker 7:
[93:34] Then I've messed this up. Maybe you would expect what was thrown.

Speaker 6:
[93:38] Is it a food item? Yeah. Beef Wellington?

Speaker 7:
[93:42] Close.

Speaker 6:
[93:43] Close?

Speaker 5:
[93:44] Beef Wellington is close?

Speaker 7:
[93:45] I mean, it's not that, it's soup.

Speaker 3:
[93:49] Got some debris on the ice.

Speaker 7:
[93:51] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[93:53] Did that come from the crowd?

Speaker 4:
[93:55] I don't know where that came from.

Speaker 3:
[93:58] Ducks players on the end of the bench are looking in the section to the left of their bench from where they sit.

Speaker 5:
[94:04] A rotisserie chicken. Yeah, there it is.

Speaker 6:
[94:06] Yeah. Rotisserie.

Speaker 7:
[94:07] I just like the announcer asking if that came from the crowd.

Speaker 5:
[94:12] Did it come from the crowd or the bench? Where did that rotisserie chicken come from? That spill out of McDavid's pocket?

Speaker 7:
[94:19] The Ducks would score shortly after, and now you're thinking curse of the Bambino, curse of the rotisserie chicken.

Speaker 5:
[94:26] Kev, you have the best jersey on, if I can say so.

Speaker 6:
[94:28] Yeah, what is that?

Speaker 5:
[94:29] I mean, that's.

Speaker 9:
[94:30] This is my dad's Seminoles jersey from the 90s.

Speaker 6:
[94:35] Your father played for the Florida State?

Speaker 9:
[94:38] He got it in the 90s, but I went to Florida State, so I took it from him.

Speaker 6:
[94:41] Oh, cool.

Speaker 5:
[94:42] That's sweet.

Speaker 6:
[94:43] Love that, love those jerseys.

Speaker 5:
[94:45] That's awesome. What do you call that color?

Speaker 7:
[94:48] Cayman Swinson.

Speaker 5:
[94:50] What do you call that? Is it gold? Is it just gold? Or do they have like a?

Speaker 7:
[94:54] Summon.

Speaker 9:
[94:54] Garnet and gold.

Speaker 5:
[94:55] Garnet and gold? It's just gold? All right, I thought there was like another name for it.

Speaker 9:
[94:59] Cody also sent this in from him and Brandon. They just wanted to say hi.

Speaker 5:
[95:03] Oh, hey guys.

Speaker 8:
[95:04] They're driving to Mississippi.

Speaker 5:
[95:05] Can you hear us guys? Hey.

Speaker 7:
[95:08] No, that's why.

Speaker 5:
[95:09] Cody, what's up, man?

Speaker 8:
[95:10] Oh, he's doing the big cat. He's doing the big cat. He's frozen. Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[95:14] That's why Stefan was trying to fix it earlier.

Speaker 5:
[95:17] It's freezing. Is that what's going on? All right, let's do a hockey. We don't do hockey grids. Let's do a soccer grid now and get out of here.

Speaker 7:
[95:24] Should we seed the floor to KB and Gab?

Speaker 5:
[95:29] Let them do the soccer grid.

Speaker 7:
[95:30] We'll let them get first dibs, right?

Speaker 5:
[95:32] Yeah, you get first crack. Gab, do you know how to find the soccer grid? I actually don't, to be honest.

Speaker 8:
[95:39] If you just type in like footy grid, I think it will pop up.

Speaker 7:
[95:41] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[95:42] So, you can find it on maculatgrid.com, maybe.

Speaker 7:
[95:50] Oh, breaking news from Jerry O'Connell. He's skipping day three of Max Delente's bachelor party to attend counseling.

Speaker 5:
[96:01] That's funny. That's funny. That's classic Jerry O'Connell. All right, here we go. This is really important because we might get one or two.

Speaker 8:
[96:14] What's your soccer knowledge, KB?

Speaker 6:
[96:16] Unfortunately, none, but I'm ashamed. I want to get into the most popular sport in the world. I want to at least be a knowledgeable general landscape.

Speaker 8:
[96:27] That aligns with your interests as well.

Speaker 6:
[96:30] There's a geographic.

Speaker 8:
[96:31] Yeah, there's an element of world travel.

Speaker 5:
[96:36] I think it might be my favorite sport to watch.

Speaker 6:
[96:38] Really?

Speaker 5:
[96:39] It might be. I'd have to think about it. It hasn't been my whole life, but I got hooked.

Speaker 6:
[96:46] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[96:47] When I lived in Columbus, I started going to the crew games. MLS is on a global stage, not even that good, but I was still blown away at how skilled all these guys are.

Speaker 6:
[96:59] Okay.

Speaker 5:
[97:00] I had an appreciation. There's something about like, I'm so bad at soccer that it makes me-

Speaker 6:
[97:05] Oh yeah, that's a factor for me too.

Speaker 5:
[97:07] It makes me want to watch it because it like blows my mind that you can run with your feet, but also control the ball with your feet.

Speaker 6:
[97:13] So you're looking at players that aren't necessarily like in the action.

Speaker 5:
[97:18] Sometimes, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know much about- I'm a dumb ass when it comes to like, you know, if you ask me keys to the game, I'd be like, I don't fight, score more goals, but I enjoy watching it.

Speaker 7:
[97:28] Park the bus.

Speaker 5:
[97:30] But I don't watch as much as I used to. All right.

Speaker 8:
[97:33] You got an easy one on the far right there.

Speaker 5:
[97:36] Yeah. Messy.

Speaker 8:
[97:37] Let's get messy.

Speaker 5:
[97:37] Messy. Middle right. Middle right. Right there. Messy. M-E-S-S-I.

Speaker 7:
[97:43] Oh, yeah. Under 50 percent. N plus goals in a league. Lewandowski played for Barcelona, right?

Speaker 5:
[97:54] That's right. Yeah. Robert Lewandowski. Wait, hold on.

Speaker 8:
[97:59] Did he?

Speaker 5:
[98:00] Hold on. You think he scored 10 goals?

Speaker 7:
[98:02] How hard is 10 goals?

Speaker 5:
[98:03] I don't know, but it must be hard if they're.

Speaker 7:
[98:06] KB, what do you think?

Speaker 5:
[98:07] Do Ronaldinho.

Speaker 7:
[98:08] Okay.

Speaker 5:
[98:09] Do Ronaldinho.

Speaker 8:
[98:09] Yeah, Ronaldinho is a good guess. Which one is that?

Speaker 5:
[98:14] Fuck.

Speaker 8:
[98:15] That one.

Speaker 5:
[98:15] Yeah, it's got to be that one. Yeah, they're really nice.

Speaker 6:
[98:18] Three percent.

Speaker 5:
[98:21] We can do Harry Kane, bottom middle.

Speaker 7:
[98:23] Or Son.

Speaker 8:
[98:25] I like Kane more.

Speaker 7:
[98:26] Okay. PK Merchant, they say.

Speaker 5:
[98:29] Harry Kane. Now we're cooking. All right. Can you hover over the logos in the top left, please?

Speaker 8:
[98:35] Does McAllister play for Tottenham now? Remember, I made the call on him. He's Argentinian. He's like a light skinned Argentinian guy that played for Leicester. Yeah, Leicester City at one point.

Speaker 5:
[98:50] I don't know.

Speaker 8:
[98:50] No, he played for Brighton Hovalbian.

Speaker 5:
[98:53] Can you, Gab, can you see those? What are those logos in the top?

Speaker 9:
[98:56] Monaco.

Speaker 5:
[98:57] Monaco, okay. Why is it not popping up? Usually when you hover, it pops up.

Speaker 9:
[99:03] It's Benfica.

Speaker 5:
[99:04] Benfica, okay.

Speaker 7:
[99:05] Benfica. They were in trouble the other month when they were playing Real Madrid. Who was on that team? Has Ronaldo ever ventured out there? They're Portuguese.

Speaker 5:
[99:19] I only know like nine soccer teams.

Speaker 8:
[99:21] Do you want to try McAllister?

Speaker 5:
[99:24] Try McAllister.

Speaker 8:
[99:24] I don't even know how you say it. On the bottom right.

Speaker 5:
[99:26] Bottom right.

Speaker 8:
[99:27] M-A-C-A. A before the C.

Speaker 7:
[99:32] KB, you got any?

Speaker 6:
[99:34] I'm trying to cheat, and I still can't get shit.

Speaker 8:
[99:39] Oh, that's not me. I don't even know how to spell his name.

Speaker 6:
[99:41] I don't know how to Google a logo.

Speaker 5:
[99:42] Oh, it's not him? Not Dylan McAllister?

Speaker 9:
[99:44] No, I don't even know how to spell his name.

Speaker 5:
[99:45] What the hell?

Speaker 8:
[99:47] McAllister?

Speaker 5:
[99:49] Barcelona, Monaco.

Speaker 8:
[99:53] No, I don't know how to spell his name. It's like McAllister.

Speaker 5:
[99:57] If he's Argentinian, it's going to be something Argentinian.

Speaker 6:
[100:02] McAllister.

Speaker 5:
[100:03] It's probably not. And you think he's on the team now?

Speaker 8:
[100:08] I don't know.

Speaker 7:
[100:08] I know who you're talking about. He's got reddish hair.

Speaker 8:
[100:12] He's that type of Argentinian.

Speaker 5:
[100:14] Xander McAllister?

Speaker 7:
[100:16] He's from the English, but he's Argentinian.

Speaker 5:
[100:21] Do Xander McAllister. We're not getting this group anyway. Click on that, select. What if that worked? All right. Thank you, KB.

Speaker 6:
[100:31] Oh, but anytime.

Speaker 5:
[100:33] This was fun.

Speaker 6:
[100:34] Love coming on. Seriously, if you need like a third head or third head, especially a second, Nick's out again.

Speaker 5:
[100:43] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[100:44] All right.

Speaker 6:
[100:44] I'm in.

Speaker 8:
[100:45] It's Mac space Alistair and he did not play for Tom.

Speaker 5:
[100:48] Oh, we're still, we're still wrong. All right. We'll be back tomorrow. NFL draft tonight. We'll, we'll, we'll watch that and talk about that. And we'll, we'll put together crew. We'll put together crew. You can come back tomorrow if you want.

Speaker 6:
[101:01] I will.

Speaker 5:
[101:01] All right. KB will be back. We'll be back tomorrow.

Speaker 6:
[101:03] I do have some more, more to say. Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[101:04] All right.

Speaker 5:
[101:05] See you guys.

Speaker 7:
[101:06] Oh, Lewandowski was one too.
