Speaker 11 This podcast is brought to you by T-Row Price.
Speaker 11 Join me as I chat with Chris Murphy, their head of ETF specialists, to unpack what ETFs are, how they work, and how T-Row Price is helping investors make more informed decisions.
Speaker 16 So, as a peer investment tool, as an ETF versus, let's just say, a mutual fund, what are the advantages and disadvantages between those two?
Speaker 17 The ETF structure itself allows for the costs to really be materially lower. And so, on average, an ETF is going to be a lot less expensive from an expense ratio perspective.
Speaker 16 Let's talk about the philosophy that differentiates T-Row Price from other organizations that are in the ETF space. What's that secret sauce that you guys have?
Speaker 17 It comes back to kind of the core principles of our firm, which is curiosity around what can we do to find an edge or where can we innovate.
Speaker 14 Listen in to discover how T-Row Price's active ETFs can help you add an edge to outperform the index.

Speaker 42 We have gifts on the table.
Speaker 61 Yay! For us.

Speaker 39 Let it be known and stay.
Speaker 64 You forgot the last thing.
Speaker 54 You forgot that was that.
Speaker 35 You forgot the last thing.
Speaker 6 What's happening here?
Speaker 39 Jordan Hudson is underneath that.
Speaker 40 So the ghost of Christmas of podcast future
Speaker 28 is the ghost of podcast future.
Speaker 32 That's right. A silent, I believe in the story, a silent entity that
Speaker 9 does watch over us.
Speaker 6 It's going to be Jordan. It's going to be a fat head
Speaker 6
of Jordan. Yeah, dude.
What's up, girly?
Speaker 6 Did you?
Speaker 35 Were you able to purchase those templates or did you have this custom made?
Speaker 2 We had this made at FedEx.
Speaker 44 Wow.
Speaker 6 And now she's not wearing her canceled necklace. Is that the B? Is that a B, like a Barbie B?
Speaker 68 It's the band. The band.
Speaker 39 Oh, it says band.
Speaker 6 I thought it said canceled. I forgot.
Speaker 69 I'm sorry, Pablo.
Speaker 39 I don't watch these things. You don't know the lore of ourselves?
Speaker 37 No.
Speaker 6 I'm usually pretty high when I'm here and nothing sticks. Do you know what I'm saying? Now, Pablo, this is where I'm going to say.
Speaker 6 I hope you got a plan for this episode because this is what we're bringing.
Speaker 61 Yeah. This is what we got.
Speaker 10 This is what we have.
Speaker 37 Unfortunately.
Speaker 6 Nothing, huh?
Speaker 1 That's pretty much it.
Speaker 54 Sweet.
Speaker 39 Another hour of this, baby.
Speaker 34 Part of the reason I wanted to have both of you here is not just because I want to say thank you as my friends for doing this and trusting us every time you show up here, not knowing what's underneath various surfaces and or inside of boxes and or behind you.
Speaker 6 And or stuck to the table.
Speaker 28 Have you guys seen Elsbeth?
Speaker 37 I haven't seen it.
Speaker 10 I haven't seen it yet. I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 59 You have come to the right podcast taping.
Speaker 45 Yes.
Speaker 39 Yes. All Elsbeth.
Speaker 45 Yes.
Speaker 70 Can you explain what Elsbeth is?
Speaker 66 Anyone. No.
Speaker 6 Who can do this?
Speaker 35 Okay. I think it is about a woman.
Speaker 35 She's like a DOJ lawyer or something.
Speaker 35 And through a consent decree has been assigned to work with these consent decree. Like an NYPD?
Speaker 35 Is all of this wrong? so what i know why at sinek explained it to me and i didn't understand why
Speaker 39 is a big elsbeth fan wyat snack is huge elsbeth fan of his is the right reaction
Speaker 35 no it's shocking to ask i was at a thing i saw wyatt sinek i started talking about we were talking about this podcast i told him about elsbeth and he was like oh i watch elsbeth and then he explained watch yeah
Speaker 35 and i was like if i had to think of one person if i if in my mind when i came to the draft of the last people on the planet right total i would take wyatt probably first second yeah yeah yeah yeah anyway he was saying that's a woman with a consent decree who's now assigned to work with the cops.
Speaker 39 That's where you go to the city.
Speaker 6 She's a consultant detective.
Speaker 39 I don't know what it means, but I know that it's involved.
Speaker 3 A consultant detective for the NYPD.
Speaker 63 CBS primetime earlier this month, there's an episode, and the episode involves a young character whose name is Peyton Ramsey.
Speaker 35 Peyton Ramsey.
Speaker 71 Peyton Ramsey.
Speaker 35 I should interrupt to tell you guys, I think I'm drunk.
Speaker 62 Okay, carry on.
Speaker 35 I've barely more than smelled this champagne.
Speaker 10 I think I'm feeling a little bit more. That's what it is.
Speaker 2 She's a precocious young character who may or may not be based on someone who may or may not be looming behind Katie Nolan at this moment.
Speaker 29 She is being described by some podcasters.
Speaker 45 What?
Speaker 71 And
Speaker 31 her boyfriend happens to be an older college coach.
Speaker 2 that may seem similar to certain characters we have covered on this show, even though he is a college basketball coach at a place called St.
Speaker 27 Ivans University.
Speaker 73 Clearly, basketball is like the last thing on this man's mind right now.
Speaker 55 You're acting like we don't know exactly who to blame.
Speaker 73 Dude, I feel like if I mention her name, she'll put a hex on my ding-dong.
Speaker 46 She's not Voldemort, man.
Speaker 44 She might be.
Speaker 46 We're talking about the biggest story in sports. What's right now? Don't say her name.
Speaker 27 Ceylon Ramsey. I said it.
Speaker 73 Well, now she's going to hex your ding-dong. Good thing you never use it.
Speaker 76 Hey, speaking of that, today's podcast is brought to you by Shape and Scape. Fellas, you know how bad it hurts when you're using clippers down there and you catch a bit of scrip.
Speaker 6 Oh, she was listening to the podcast.
Speaker 27 She was listening to the podcast. Wow.
Speaker 35 So the three of us have been,
Speaker 35 in this rip from the headlines, mushed into two dudes.
Speaker 6 Into two dudes using weird tones to talk about it.
Speaker 27 Well, I should say, for the audio-only audience so far, a couple of revelations.
Speaker 47 Right.
Speaker 32 Peyton Ramsey slash Jordan Hudson is Asian.
Speaker 52 She's played by a Vietnamese actress.
Speaker 2 Lana Condor.
Speaker 27 What a name.
Speaker 44 What a name.
Speaker 61 Lana Condor? Yeah.
Speaker 35 Which sounds absolutely like a super villain. That's a super villain's,
Speaker 54 not even an alias.
Speaker 6 If I may, and this is editorializing, immediately more stylish than
Speaker 6 her inspiration.
Speaker 6
You know, cooler. She walked into the room.
I was like, oh, it's a cool lady.
Speaker 6 Now, we don't know anything about her character, but I just, you know, when Jordan walked into a room, I don't think I went like, whoa.
Speaker 6 I went like, well, she's got, you know. So, anyway, back to this.
Speaker 70 Have you listened yet?
Speaker 44 Hey, beautiful.
Speaker 77 Listen to what?
Speaker 69 We can't let these guys keep talking about us like this.
Speaker 74 You know, my media policy, pay.
Speaker 77 Just tune it out. Focus on the fundamentals.
Speaker 69 These guys have millions of followers, okay? And by the way, they're still quoting inside sources, which means that your players are still DMing them.
Speaker 78 Ah, I told you that I don't know what DMing means.
Speaker 77 Anyway, listen.
Speaker 78 Pey, come on.
Speaker 44 Deep breath, okay?
Speaker 74 I will reiterate our media policy at the next team practice.
Speaker 79 Thank you.
Speaker 69 Also, I had some thoughts about some of the guys with socials, but I don't want to overstep.
Speaker 77 No, no, no, no. I think it's a great idea.
Speaker 78 I'm sure that the guys will appreciate your advice.
Speaker 61 Thank you, babe. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 80 It's got palpatine hands.
Speaker 81 Yo.
Speaker 22 Yo.
Speaker 9 Less of that would be fine by me.
Speaker 35 Millions of followers.
Speaker 6 That's nice. That is nice.
Speaker 61 We're going to round up.
Speaker 39 To the nearest million. We're just going to round up.
Speaker 35 To any million.
Speaker 6 As the white here,
Speaker 6 is it kind of f up they appropriated your Asianness for the victim?
Speaker 30 I'm glad you specifically said that.
Speaker 28 I think they did this as a chess move.
Speaker 6
Right. Do we ever see the podcasters? I guess is my question.
I bet they're like
Speaker 2 embodied voices.
Speaker 70 They sound white.
Speaker 39 Wait, are we going to see, are we going to watch more of this?
Speaker 3 We are going to watch more of this because the face that Michael has pointed to here.
Speaker 31 Yeah.
Speaker 2 This is a character, Michael, that I need you to come clean on.
Speaker 35
Okay, I'm going to tell you the god's honest truth. I auditioned.
I'm pretty sure. I mean, I haven't heard this character talk yet.
Speaker 9 Crazy.
Speaker 35 But I'm pretty sure I auditioned to play this character.
Speaker 6 Crazy. Now, can I ask, as somebody who's never read for a part, what you mean by you think you were going to be.
Speaker 35 I'm not positive. I haven't seen this guy talk yet.
Speaker 54 But if that's the AD.
Speaker 6 If he's the AD.
Speaker 62 I auditioned to play this role, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 47 So we need to establish some things for people who did not watch all of the episodes we've done this year.
Speaker 6 And what the hell is your problem?
Speaker 45 First of all, who would that be?
Speaker 6 What in the F is going on with you?
Speaker 35 Excuse me, who among us has not watched every episode? And listen, I'll do a watch, and then I go back and I listen to see if there's anything that plays better on it.
Speaker 62 On 0.5, on 0.5x.5.
Speaker 54 Listen, on 0.5x. That's right.
Speaker 32 You get bonus points. You get retention bonus points if it's slower.
Speaker 30 Michael is an actor.
Speaker 50
Yeah. Well, you know that part.
I know that part.
Speaker 6 No, and don't don't do that because he's actually a very good actor.
Speaker 37 He's a beard.
Speaker 6 He's an incredible actor.
Speaker 39 He's really.
Speaker 6 Half of his face was in Severance.
Speaker 10 Yep.
Speaker 39 We can get that.
Speaker 54 Hang on, my whole face, but only for half a second.
Speaker 6 And then the rest of it was just your voice, but blocked by the main character's head, which
Speaker 6 could be that you're the main character.
Speaker 35 I might be the star of Severance for all we know.
Speaker 61 Yes.
Speaker 6
We don't know. Twists are coming.
Twists are coming.
Speaker 2 He was in a cable news hit on Severance.
Speaker 39 Yes. That's right.
Speaker 1 Arguing about the Severance procedure.
Speaker 42 That's right.
Speaker 10 Yeah, tell him.
Speaker 6 So he also had a line that
Speaker 39 got cut
Speaker 38 from
Speaker 10 succession.
Speaker 62 That's right.
Speaker 35 And I believe that line was, and I don't know if we have time for the whole line, but I believe it was
Speaker 35
hey, Captain. And that was cut.
Great. So that's that's and you've kind of got my whole acting career kind of encapsulated in that.
Speaker 2 You got a script for this audition, but you haven't seen the thing that they wound up making.
Speaker 35 I haven't seen the thing, but I mean, when I got it, I was immediately like, oh, I'm not sure.
Speaker 6 If he watched everything that didn't, that was a part he didn't get, he'd be busy all day.
Speaker 37 You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 44 What the,
Speaker 35 dude, what the f?
Speaker 44 Why am I high-fiving?
Speaker 45 I don't know. I don't know, but thanks.
Speaker 35 I got the script and immediately, I was like, oh, this is like vaguely about me.
Speaker 3 Very, very, I was gonna say.
Speaker 6 So, is this play about us?
Speaker 39 Yeah, totally. So, I haven't seen that show, but
Speaker 45 you haven't? No.
Speaker 9 Did you audition?
Speaker 39 No. Oh, damn.
Speaker 35 Yeah, it was supposed to be the, is it, am I saying it right? Zendaya?
Speaker 62 It's perfect.
Speaker 61 That was my part. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 34 I would like you to turn to your cellular telephone.
Speaker 6 Who? Just him.
Speaker 61 Just Michael. Okay.
Speaker 31 Because
Speaker 47 we have texted you an opportunity.
Speaker 35 Okay, these, I believe, now are these lines actually in the show?
Speaker 4 Well, I need you to deliver them for our audience and for us, please.
Speaker 27 Okay. And then we can see what you're doing.
Speaker 62 How did you get this?
Speaker 51 Well, don't worry about that. That is
Speaker 42 what I do professionally. Right.
Speaker 62 He finds out.
Speaker 35 I just wanted to be clear that I did not send you this script.
Speaker 9 Correct.
Speaker 39 So you got your own thing.
Speaker 10 You clearly just got to.
Speaker 6 That's smart. That is smart.
Speaker 19 You could have put him in a pretty bad spot.
Speaker 10 I didn't send it to you. You didn't send it to us, dude.
Speaker 37 Somebody did. Excuse me.
Speaker 32 You want me to read these lines?
Speaker 71 Yeah, you're
Speaker 44 auditioning for the role of
Speaker 63 Dave, who is the general manager of
Speaker 37 St.
Speaker 3 Ivans University.
Speaker 61 Okay.
Speaker 83 Here we go.
Speaker 35 You have turned a legend into a sad, pathetic loser, posing for selfies, doing sandwich commercials. You have single-handedly destroyed a great man's legacy.
Speaker 35 The best thing you could do is lose his number, but I can't make you do that.
Speaker 35 So I'm doing the only thing I can do:
Speaker 35 banning you from the premises.
Speaker 37 It is about us.
Speaker 51 Like the necklace.
Speaker 22 The play is about us.
Speaker 48 Just like the necklace.
Speaker 6 Throw more stuff.
Speaker 31 You crushed that.
Speaker 6 I would have given you the part. I don't know what the fuck.
Speaker 35 Honestly, I would want another take. It didn't feel great.
Speaker 3 Here's what it looked like.
Speaker 80 On CBS.
Speaker 47 You turned a legend into a sad, pathetic loser, posing for selfies, doing sandwich commercials.
Speaker 86 You single-handedly destroyed a great man's legacy the best thing you could do would be to lose his number
Speaker 53 but I can't make you do that
Speaker 86 so I'm doing the one thing I can do I'm banning you from the premises
Speaker 35 now he's doing a lot he did it different he did it different and I love it I love it
Speaker 6 that character who is inspired by Mike Lombardi another character we have reported on on this show the person thank you for doing that have I told you that in person yet you haven't thank you for that episode because there's a lot in that episode.
Speaker 6 Yeah.
Speaker 47 He is, as that episode revealed, the person who communicated to others that Jordan Hudson was banned.
Speaker 1 And so when
Speaker 2 Michael Cruz Cain auditions for the role of Mike Lombardi,
Speaker 80 after participating in the episode in which we report such things in this ongoing saga, it is also worth pointing out maybe that that character,
Speaker 31 I'm just making sure that this is correct.
Speaker 23 Spoiler alert, dies.
Speaker 61 Oh,
Speaker 81 you die?
Speaker 35 I don't, I mean, I didn't, I didn't, I only, I think I only got one scene.
Speaker 47 So the Belichick character kills the Lombardi character.
Speaker 6 Oh my God, that's so much better than what's happening in real life. That's like such a juicier.
Speaker 35 It makes for a better episode of Elsbeth.
Speaker 34 The sequel to all of this, of course, is that in real life, last month, Jordan Hudson said a couple things to us,
Speaker 39 engaging us. It's you mostly.
Speaker 6
It's really just you. It's kind of like the positive and negative of this.
It's like, I'm in these clips, but I'm not really getting anything from it.
Speaker 58 Like, there's there's nobody's coming for me we're mostly here to be like oh
Speaker 51 we holy
Speaker 35 whoa you don't say you specifically are responsible for some crazy now yeah
Speaker 27 we yes we as a show as a show as a family we were named to the apple podcast top 10 list
Speaker 62 that was up
Speaker 42 my bad we were on for that that was we that was we absolutely and jordan hudson on november 19th at 8 45 a.m said quote you're welcome period i mean and we thank her for it.
Speaker 61 And thank you.
Speaker 39 She's not 100% wrong.
Speaker 54 She's okay. Right, right.
Speaker 64 She fractionally, absolutely helped.
Speaker 83 Yeah.
Speaker 2 Jordan Hudson went on Instagram on November 23rd and posted a photo of her wearing the band necklace.
Speaker 80 And the caption is,
Speaker 31 just one of the great pieces of Instagram ever.
Speaker 6
P.S. I'm suing you hard hands.
Yeah.
Speaker 64 P.S. I'm suing you at P.S.
Speaker 34 Dora Hardhands.
Speaker 36 Hard hands.
Speaker 1 I checked with the University of North Carolina and they said that they are not involved with any of her aggressive litigation.
Speaker 38 Oh, you're doing real?
Speaker 39 I just got to to say that.
Speaker 16 Did she sue you?
Speaker 38 Oh, yeah. No.
Speaker 6 No, she didn't sue you.
Speaker 39 I've gotten
Speaker 27 a letter or anything.

Speaker 16 So as a peer investment tool, as an ETF versus, let's just say a mutual fund, what are the advantages and disadvantages between those two?
Speaker 17 The ETF structure itself allows for the costs to really be materially lower. And so on average, an ETF is going to be a lot less expensive from an expense ratio perspective.
Speaker 16 Let's talk about the philosophy that differentiates T-Row Price from other organizations that are in the ETF space. What's that secret sauce that you guys have?
Speaker 17 It comes back to kind of the core principles of our firm, which is curiosity around what can we do to find an edge or where can we innovate.
Speaker 14 Listen in to discover how T-Row Price's active ETFs can help you add an edge to outperform the index.

Speaker 32 Well, we do have a thing that I want to
Speaker 29 promote because I do want people to know.
Speaker 36 I don't want people to know.
Speaker 6 Wait, why is this happening?
Speaker 37 Because this was brought up before.
Speaker 6 They're like, we're actually going to promote your podcast this time.
Speaker 39 Now you're spoiling it. Sorry.
Speaker 70 Rewind.
Speaker 6
Go back and do it again. I won't say anything.
Kate.
Speaker 57 Kate.
Speaker 36 What's we call her?
Speaker 57 Kate.
Speaker 3 Katie Nolan is on SiriusXM. She is the person that you listened to before Stephen A.
Speaker 29 Smith.
Speaker 32 That's so true.
Speaker 40 Which is a fact that I
Speaker 32 am so delighted by every time I think about it.
Speaker 41 Mad Dog Sports Radio. Yeah.
Speaker 30 The show is called Fan Service.
Speaker 32 You do, I think, what you are meant on this earth to do.
Speaker 42 Hell yeah.
Speaker 70 Which is field questions from almost always dudes.
Speaker 81 No, no, no.
Speaker 61 We have a lot of women that call.
Speaker 50 We have a lot of women that call.
Speaker 44 This actually up, dude.
Speaker 6 We have a lot of women. I also think it's mostly sports radio not doing a ton to outreach to women and make them feel comfortable calling.
Speaker 39 Katie,
Speaker 90 changing the demographics of
Speaker 31 who calls in, is what I dare say. Yeah.
Speaker 37 I could just open the phone lines and make it like a hotline.
Speaker 39 It's really good.
Speaker 6
The goal is for it to be a hotline. People can call me and ask about any sport.
There are some times where I go like, yo.
Speaker 39 What's the number they can call?
Speaker 6
888-MAD DOG6 from noon to 1 Eastern, Monday through Friday. I'm doing this.
I just, there's
Speaker 6 days.
Speaker 50 I do this in 2026.
Speaker 6
Sometimes they'll call about like rugby, and I'm like, well, let me Google this. I don't know.
I don't not an expert.
Speaker 35 When they call about rugby, they're trying to get a take from you on the rugby.
Speaker 6
Sometimes, sometimes people ask for very specific takes, and I'm like, I don't have a take on this. I'm very honest.
If I don't know the answer, I don't know the answer.
Speaker 6 But like, you know, an hour is is kind of difficult to do.
Speaker 6
I'm not here monologuing every day about sports. So I'll give you my takes if I have some.
But then I just open up the phone lines and basically just talk to people.
Speaker 68 It's a perfect vehicle for everything.
Speaker 10 It's fun. It really is.
Speaker 10 Thanks.
Speaker 6 Why is this happening?
Speaker 49 Is this your gift to me?
Speaker 44 No. In lieu of payment.
Speaker 3 No, there's a gift on the table.
Speaker 2 That is your gift. This is not your gift.
Speaker 30 This is an excuse to segue to the fact that we also have a voicemail hotline.
Speaker 47 Ooh.
Speaker 41 51385 Pablo.
Speaker 60 People call it. We haven't.
Speaker 6
Minor live phone calls, but this is kind of the same thing. Keep going.
It's the same.
Speaker 51 This is
Speaker 62 better in some ways.
Speaker 39 I just want to be clear. Minor live phone calls.
Speaker 84 River dancing on the bits.
Speaker 6 Today someone said dildo on air, and we didn't know what to do.
Speaker 37 We dumped it.
Speaker 62 Is that the policy?
Speaker 37 You dumped it?
Speaker 6
As soon as he was like, or a rubber dildo, it was like, boop, hung up. And there was nothing.
I just had to go, well, that'll sit there.
Speaker 35 Is there a, there's no delay?
Speaker 6 There is, but it's serious, so you can curse.
Speaker 6 It's just that it's, yeah, but it's that it's, you know, Mad Dog runs the station, so he likes to drive.
Speaker 27 Mad Dog is is a very anti-dildo.
Speaker 6 He's very family-friendly. He's very anti-dildo.
Speaker 6 Yours are voicemails, which are different.
Speaker 35 I can't keep it together, guys. I'm drunk.
Speaker 6 I know, me too.
Speaker 29 We've received almost,
Speaker 32 oh, no, exactly, 499 voicemails this year.
Speaker 54 Can we go through them?
Speaker 35 It'd be funny if you said almost 499.
Speaker 27 Some of them, by the way,
Speaker 47 they are very kind, and we appreciate them.
Speaker 80 For instance,
Speaker 31 this one.
Speaker 91 Hey, Pablo Torre, this is Tony P, the military member has called called several times i just wanted to call again to give you guys flowers i continue to be most uh both educated and uh inspired by the work that you and the team is doing there especially this last episode with the trans uh center my child is trans and this one touched home a lot so thank you for doing this story anyways appreciate what you guys do love all the things you guys do and nick right oh my god okay that guy that guy that guy's okay it's just a heartfelt message Other voicemails are from people that you may have heard of if you pay attention to sports.
Speaker 6 If we're going to get to Jordan giving up voicemail.
Speaker 91 Hey, Pablo, this is Tim Donaghy.
Speaker 91 Was wondering if you had a couple minutes to
Speaker 91 speak to me. My number's 96.
Speaker 62 Thank you.
Speaker 34 It does appear to be the real Tim Donaghy, the disgraced NBA referee at the center of one of the largest scandals in sports history.
Speaker 6 Calling your voicemail?
Speaker 32 I do owe him a callback.
Speaker 50 You should call him.
Speaker 54 You bet you do.
Speaker 39 It's okay. It's not a tip line, guys.
Speaker 63 No, it is. It is a tip line.
Speaker 32 But also, you can submit questions.
Speaker 1 And we get questions from regulars at this point.
Speaker 80 For instance, there's a guy, and I just want to make this clear.
Speaker 27 We did not invent this character. He's a real guy.
Speaker 30 His name is Cletus.
Speaker 52 He is from Navarre.
Speaker 44 What?
Speaker 6 I was going to say the Fox football robot is named Cletus.
Speaker 35 I just realized that it's like Cletus.
Speaker 39 Cletus, yeah.
Speaker 61
Okay. You're welcome.
Back to you.
Speaker 35 Pablo Target. And we're back to Pablo with sports.
Speaker 27 Cletus, the human and not the giant robot. Superimposed giant.
Speaker 48 Chill out.
Speaker 1 This one is from Navarre, Florida.
Speaker 93
Hey, Pablo, Cletus in Navarre, Florida. I've got a question.
Maybe you can find out. All these body spray commercials on the TV, I was just wondering, when did women start stinking?
Speaker 93 Maybe you can find that out.
Speaker 79 It's a conspiracy.
Speaker 93 uh did i understand the question yeah yeah yeah i think cletus has a really good perspective we should consider okay he's saying if you listen to it yeah i did which we have did cletus is play it again um all these uh body spray commercials on the tv i was just wondering when did women start to stinking uh maybe you can find that out it's a conspiracy Yeah, we heard it.
Speaker 6 When did women start to stinking? Maybe you can find that out.
Speaker 32 And he's saying, when did this problem emerge?
Speaker 2 Because he has not experienced the issue.
Speaker 35 Cletus is asking kind of an enlightened question.
Speaker 61 I think Cletus is super woke.
Speaker 6 Yeah, I think Cletus is like, ladies, you smell just fine to me. Go ahead and sit on my face without any insignificant.
Speaker 2 Why is society telling all of you ladies?
Speaker 10 We just stink now.
Speaker 39 Yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 35 But everybody's been stinking. Just in case the question is just the question, we've all been stinking forever.
Speaker 6 We've all been stinking forever.
Speaker 44 Am I shouting?
Speaker 67 No. Okay.
Speaker 48 No.
Speaker 44 Okay.
Speaker 48 No.
Speaker 9 I'm wasted. Yeah.
Speaker 45 That is.
Speaker 38 We have more?

Speaker 6
That's all. I'm just calling Cletus.
I don't
Speaker 10 agree.
Speaker 10 I don't have to really call Cletus.
Speaker 62 I was just talking.
Speaker 38 What the fk we're doing this for?
Speaker 35 What are we going to do when we get him?
Speaker 6 Pabble's going to take it.
Speaker 27 If he doesn't answer, we're going to leave a voicemail.
Speaker 22 At the tone, please record your message.

Speaker 47 eight times. You asked us about lots of things.
Speaker 31 You asked us about what happened to Tom Hanks and Castaway.
Speaker 52 I don't have the answer for that.
Speaker 10 He got stuck on an island.
Speaker 39 Okay.
Speaker 2 Katie Nolan has an answer for when did women start to stinking?
Speaker 50 No, I don't.
Speaker 6 No, I don't. I don't know the answer,
Speaker 6 but I just wanted to say I love your work as a robot in football.

Speaker 21 Who did that song?
Speaker 6 Who made that song for you?
Speaker 54 That is Andrew Streeter.
Speaker 66 Oh, who is
Speaker 1 a prolific song maker?
Speaker 34 He's made songs for Dan's show.
Speaker 44 Bless you.
Speaker 47 I like that you directionally sneezed into my cup.
Speaker 6 I don't think that this episode has started. I'm getting a little concerned.
Speaker 35
We're almost ready. We're warming up.
Okay, starting the episode in three.
Speaker 1 So one thing that I want to explain from the song that we played is that I have been called by Fred Toucher the 50 Cent of Journalism.
Speaker 6 I know that voice. That's Boston Sports Radio.
Speaker 72 Hold on. I'm being told we have one more voicemail.
Speaker 34 Yeah.
Speaker 97 So Pablo Torrey is the 50 Cent of journalism.
Speaker 98 Oh, no.

Speaker 44 Oh, we're all here for you.
Speaker 98 We got your back. You reach out.
Speaker 44 So here's the thing.
Speaker 99 Are you smarter than an NFL QB?
Speaker 53 What do you know about the world of bird watching?
Speaker 99
Collected perfumes by celebrities. Or Bill Bella checks Airbnb.
Girl, you might as well tell me now.
Speaker 100 As Bobotori finds out,
Speaker 46 no doubt. Whoa.
Speaker 85 You can't hide the truth from me.
Speaker 7 Girl,
Speaker 99 you might as well tell me now.
Speaker 100 Ms. Babotori finds out.
Speaker 99 no doubt.
Speaker 85 You can't hide the truth from me.
Speaker 96 Is Giannis missing free throws for free chicken?
Speaker 75 Is our next president an alien? And Russell Wilson,
Speaker 9 pause it.
Speaker 50 Cletus is calling.
Speaker 51 Whoa!
Speaker 63 I'm so sorry, Andrew Streeter.
Speaker 51 Hold on.
Speaker 50 What's happening out there?
Speaker 44 Hold on, hold on.
Speaker 87 This episode is so loose.
Speaker 57 Hey, Cletus, can you hear me?
Speaker 79 Is this Pablo Torres? Yes!
Speaker 54 Cletus!
Speaker 72 Cletus, you're here with me and Katie Nolan, Michael Cruz Cain.
Speaker 27 We're taping our year-end Christmas spectacular.
Speaker 79 Oh, wow.
Speaker 6 Oh, wow, he says.
Speaker 31 What are you doing right now?
Speaker 79 I'm just driving around on the panhandle of Florida, man, slinging grease.
Speaker 9 Hell yeah.
Speaker 28 Slinging grease.
Speaker 60 Can you explain a little bit more what that means?
Speaker 2 Because I'm from New York City and I've never slung a single grease intentionally.
Speaker 79 Well, I work for a company where we recycle used cooking oil from restaurants, hotels, whatever. I'm big into recycling, and so
Speaker 79 I go around and I give away free containers to restaurants. And we take all their oil instead of it going into a landfill and
Speaker 79 we make it into diesel fuel that's even worse for the environment.
Speaker 79 Pablo, you have no idea. Like, you missed my birthday today.
Speaker 44 What happened?
Speaker 51 Clean up, clean us!
Speaker 51 Clean us, clean us.
Speaker 79
One time I said I sent you a message, Papa. So my daughter is married to her high school sweetheart and he's Filipino.
What?
Speaker 54 Clear!
Speaker 79 And I tried to get you to, well, I was going to try to get you to officiate their wedding after you did damn avatars.
Speaker 44 Oh, yeah.
Speaker 48 My daughter shut that down.
Speaker 10 Oh, man.
Speaker 6 That's so funny.
Speaker 45 Yeah, I was like,
Speaker 79 we have all kinds of because we had a Filipino spread.
Speaker 79 filipino food is my favorite food now hell yeah
Speaker 68 cletus hold on hold on um i'm sorry no no no no
Speaker 29 you should you should know i am only interrupting you to know that filipino food like you professionally loves to sling grease absolutely
Speaker 79 i know lets on such a i mean i'm a fanboy dude y'all call the worst person if you didn't want adulation because i am like katie nolan i wish i was there that night with y'all smoking bowls, man.
Speaker 79 Oh my god.
Speaker 22 Hell yeah, Cletus.
Speaker 79
I mean, I love New York. That's my town.
Because when I go up there, everybody hears my accent and they want to sell me bridges and stuff.
Speaker 79 Like, they want to lead me down dark alleys and sell me fake Versace stuff.
Speaker 39 Fake leather jackets. Out of the trunk of their cars.
Speaker 34 Out of the trunk of cars.
Speaker 79 I'm real big on Canal Street. I ain't gonna lie to you.
Speaker 22 Hell yeah, Cletus.
Speaker 70 Cletus, um, I will.
Speaker 2 I presume your daughter's already been married, but if you ever have another wedding for me to officiate, I will use the powers vested in me by the Universal Life Church to absolutely do that.
Speaker 30 Oh, my God.
Speaker 79 Well, my other daughter, she's she's engaged to a white boy.
Speaker 61 He's really white.
Speaker 8 I know.
Speaker 79 He's so, his name is Sterling.
Speaker 67 Oh, my God.
Speaker 44 Whoa.
Speaker 79 And he doesn't like, he doesn't like lagoons.
Speaker 67 So he He doesn't like legumes.
Speaker 61 Legumes.
Speaker 79 It's kind of a breaking point with me, too, because being southern, I was poor growing up. And every day we came home to a pot of beans and some cheap meat.
Speaker 79 So that's like comfort food to me, you know. And I'm like, dude, if you ask for my daughter's hand in marriage, I'm going to make you eat some beans.
Speaker 45 Legumes.
Speaker 6
Okay. Okay.
That's what I made them.
Speaker 69 I thought you said legumes.
Speaker 79 Legumes.
Speaker 6
Legumes. I get it now.
Beans.
Speaker 49
That's all I'm going to do. Beans.
Beans.
Speaker 7 Yeah. Yep.
Speaker 79
Katie. So I'm a big feminist.
I know that sounds weird. Someone, a man that talks like I do being in the South, but I did raise two daughters that are very important to me and my family.
Speaker 79
And anyway, I've noticed on the TV in the last year that they don't talk about men stinking, but women all of a sudden stink. I don't know no women that stink it.
So I really get them offended.
Speaker 79 I'm offended by it. Like,
Speaker 79 you know, it's just, it's like, why? I mean, because I know a whole lot more dudes that smell.
Speaker 70 You know what?
Speaker 82 You know what I'm realizing? You know what I'm finding out here?
Speaker 3 Cletus does sling grease.
Speaker 66 Yeah.
Speaker 30 But he himself is also pretty slick.
Speaker 66 Yeah.
Speaker 39 Wow. Really good public.
Speaker 79 If any of y'all ever get to the Florida panhandle, please keep my number.
Speaker 79 I live on Navarre Beach. Man, we'll have a good damn time.
Speaker 39 Hell yeah.
Speaker 79 And I'm not a weirdo. I got a wife and 30 years and like y'all don't have to stay with me but if y'all ever get down here let me cook you some lunch or take you out
Speaker 22 yes we're getting beans with cletus
Speaker 6 i'll eat beans with you all day

Speaker 79 I can tell you're a happy person.
Speaker 79 You're always smiling when you're talking.
Speaker 79 That's why you're going to win that Peabody Award one day.
Speaker 6 Yeah, someday, Pablo.
Speaker 70 You know what? We love you, Cletus.
Speaker 60 Pretty much the highlight of the entire day is us talking to you, Cletus.

Speaker 43 You made my day safe. Oh,

Speaker 71 Cletus,
Speaker 4 I cannot thank you enough.

Speaker 49 The American Red Cross responds to about 7,000 emergencies during the holiday season alone, from home fires to natural disasters, providing families a safe place to go when the unthinkable happens.
Speaker 49 But they can't do it without your support. Please donate at redcross.org.
Speaker 65 There wasn't a tree
Speaker 34 on the table, which was embarrassing for us.
Speaker 5 What you should know, though, is that that when we did our first Aspiration Clippers investigation, it ended
Speaker 71 with a scene in which we planted a tree.
Speaker 57 The story of this,
Speaker 5 if you did not watch that episode, you really.
Speaker 37 Yes, I didn't. I thought I did.
Speaker 29 So the big crescendo of the episode was in reference to the fact that Robert Downey Jr.
Speaker 5 was an aspiration endorser.
Speaker 92 That being, of course, the guy who played Iron Man in
Speaker 27 the Marvel movies.
Speaker 2 We decided to do the thing that Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers did not do, which was actually plant a tree.
Speaker 92 Kawhi Leonard, a fellow endorser of Aspiration, who had a no-show job, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, MBA investigation. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 57 So we planted a real tree in front of the Intuit Dome.
Speaker 41 That is Iron Man watering it.
Speaker 84 And
Speaker 1 the bad news is that someone ripped the tree out of the ground.
Speaker 39 My goodness.
Speaker 45 What?
Speaker 35 My goodness gracious.
Speaker 45 Who does that?
Speaker 6 I thought you were going to show us evidence of that. Whomst Among Us? Jordan.
Speaker 52 The tree is gone, but the fire remains.
Speaker 35 The fire remains. That famous saying, the tree is gone, but the fire remains.
Speaker 4 Also, we
Speaker 61 found the replacement.
Speaker 6 Oh my god, who are you paying to be Iron Man?
Speaker 39 So, Iron Man is a confidential source.
Speaker 35 Robert Downey III.
Speaker 42 Robert Downey III, outside the Intuit Dome this week, planting in the empty grave of our old tree.
Speaker 35 Oh, wow. They tried to bury us, but they did not know that we were sitting.
Speaker 6 Do they need to be watered like that?
Speaker 39 We're not quite sure.
Speaker 84 Right.
Speaker 72 But it's now, you know, it's LA.
Speaker 41 Deciduous.
Speaker 64 It's L.A.
Speaker 35 You would think Iron Man would have something in the suit that would do the water.
Speaker 6 He's going to put lights on it.
Speaker 66 Yeah, so,
Speaker 92 you know, for carbon footprint reasons, we're not going to plug these in, but there are lights to begin to decorate them.
Speaker 63 I want everybody to know that we encourage you here to go and decorate the tree.
Speaker 37 At the Intuit Dome?
Speaker 63 At the Intuit Dome, we're going to provide the GPS coordinates.
Speaker 30 It is 33.
Speaker 41 What is that punctuation mark?
Speaker 9 Degrees. 33 degrees.
Speaker 63 33 degrees, 56.
Speaker 54 Why are you reading it?
Speaker 60 Apostrophe 36.5 quotation mark north.
Speaker 66 Perfect.
Speaker 42 118 degree 20.
Speaker 60 Apostrophe 38.7 quotation mark W for West.
Speaker 31 Perfect.
Speaker 51 So we encourage you to go and do that.
Speaker 101 We think that.
Speaker 6 First podcast to ever read out loud the GPS coordinates.
Speaker 41 Michael,
Speaker 1 we'd like you to open your gift first.
Speaker 24 Great. Which one's mine?
Speaker 27 It's the one on the top.
Speaker 44 The little one. Okay.
Speaker 6 With the same ribbon that I believe was used for when we unboxed the Jordan.
Speaker 5 That's just a total.
Speaker 35 Can you describe what you're the mixed race guy gets a much smaller gift?
Speaker 38 It's small. Oh my god, what the f is that?
Speaker 35 This is a hamburger.
Speaker 9 Oh my god. This is a hamburger
Speaker 54 that's been sitting in this.
Speaker 54 What time did I get here?
Speaker 68 How much have you been taping for probably a little too long for this to totally be
Speaker 60 paid off with you eating it?
Speaker 39 I can't believe how much it smells like a hamburger same here.
Speaker 61 Same.
Speaker 33 It didn't smell like one of the best.
Speaker 6 Can you rotate it so I can guess who made it before you eat it?
Speaker 81 Can you pop it open maybe?
Speaker 6
I'm not. I'm not.
It's not Shake Shack.
Speaker 54 You can do it if you want. It's totally edible.
Speaker 54 We just got it.
Speaker 10 We just got it, guys.
Speaker 37 That is a.
Speaker 35
It has the density of the burger. Is you would, it defies all logic.
If you held this, you'd be like, it's crazy how heavy it is.
Speaker 6 Are you going to eat it? Because then you know, okay, I don't have to slap it in my hand.
Speaker 35 But doesn't it feel like you're holding an obelisk?
Speaker 35 A space rock?
Speaker 7 Oh, my God.
Speaker 35 You think it's a nude Shake Shack burger?
Speaker 39 Now we've gone too far?
Speaker 84 This is the line.
Speaker 6 It's crazy that old gum freaked you out and a wrapped-up old ass burger that we handled around the table.
Speaker 50 There's an onion on your thigh.
Speaker 41 This is like relatively new.
Speaker 50 Yeah. From whence?
Speaker 61 No.
Speaker 35 I'm just saying it's actually good.
Speaker 2 Katie, it's time for you to open your gift.
Speaker 51 Woohoo!
Speaker 38 Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.
Speaker 39 Gimme. Whoa, heavy.
Speaker 33 Gimme, gimme.
Speaker 6 Is this gonna be an Omnicord? Because that's what it feels like. That's exactly what it feels like.
Speaker 37 Is this actually just for you to have?
Speaker 6 And I'm just gonna.
Speaker 81 What the f?
Speaker 6 Mine costs so much more than yours, which is crazy. Yours was a burger, and Pablo's eating it.
Speaker 50 Mine is an omnicord.
Speaker 39 That is kind of finger Michael's gift are not great.
Speaker 34 It's not good. There is onion now on the microphone.
Speaker 83 Ew.
Speaker 45 Wait. You have to burn that microphone.
Speaker 6 This has to be for you, Pablo, and I'm just holding it as for the show.
Speaker 39 And then when the show starts.
Speaker 48 There's a strap.
Speaker 54 Wait, you bought her an OmniCore?
Speaker 35 It's like $1,000 million.
Speaker 9 That's crazy. Why would you do that?
Speaker 6 I mean, you do owe me. I was going to say, but actually, if I had an option, I think I would have taken the cash.
Speaker 48 This is.
Speaker 62 You can't take it to cash and retire that news.
Speaker 60 The bad news is you can't take the cash. The good news is there is a
Speaker 31 stunningly vibrant OmniCore secondary resale market.
Speaker 61 Hell yeah.
Speaker 71 But until then. This is so nice.
Speaker 61 Until then.
Speaker 37 Who actually bought it?
Speaker 39 Who actually did it?
Speaker 3 Unfortunately, it was you?
Speaker 44 Keith Olberman.
Speaker 9 That's somebody. Jesus Christ.
Speaker 71 We have reached the end of the show, and there's only one way to end our year.
Speaker 2 It's with me holding a burger and Katie Nolan holding her Omnicord.

Speaker 6 stop.
Speaker 6 E M with a star is what? What's the star?
